nms-expedition

[jagged sedge]

NVM I just done it, and actually survived this time

So, phase 2 complete, time to go find more copper - again

[tough slate]

A tip: Just don't jump right into the middle of the volcano. I had a tough time recovering my inventory (grave marker) after that.

It's ||instant death|| with the lava in there if you have little protection😅

[fierce pollen]

just sprint boost across it

[jagged sedge]

I ended up jetpacking from one peak to the next, it seemed to work with only moderate damage

[tough slate]

I skipped all the exosuit upgrades, so it was essentially hard mode haha

Ah, nice

[jagged sedge]

By the time we finish gathering all the copper, New Kehille is gonna look like freakin swiss cheese

[tough slate]

I assume you're already aware:
You have your terrain manipulator on the smallest beam size, right?

It nets your more material per deposit, but it does take a while.

[jagged sedge]

Indeed I have

[tough slate]

Noice. Just making sure 👍

[jagged sedge]

I have learned a few tricks, this is my fourth exp run

[tough slate]

Yeah, the expeditions have really taught me a lot as well, and it's a fun challenge :D

[jagged sedge]

It kinda messed with my original [normal mode] save, I was so used to having to craft stuff in my base, I forgot I could do it elsewhere

Hm, I wonder - When the guys at HG order pizza, do they give the driver an approximate location?

[jagged sedge]

The Utopia oversee-ers seem to be insane - Here I am on New Sesto, surrounded by hostile sentinels, and they want me to build a base next to a supply depot, with a biped nearby -- Umm, No.

I passed a nice flat spot, with a telescope building, I think this will be my base location

I’m pretty sure you just have to reach your assigned basebuilding location, so you trigger the corresponding message etc. After that, you can build wherever you want to

[jagged sedge]

Indeed, and the telescope building spot is much nicer

Some good news here tho - the missions to find aquatic creatures and living pearls can be done on New Kehille

[ocean gorge]

Yeah, that’s in the pins (along with lots of other helpful tips)

[green igloo]

The depots are nice. I visited them, got some stuff to sell then rode back to my base to hide. There's one near the four or fifth Utopia outpost iirc.

[sudden anchor]

Wait what thats a thing?!

[ocean gorge]

There’s also sentinel pillar coordinates in pins, especially helpful for the aggressive sentinel planet

[eternal rain]

Is that the default size?

Humm i don't see how to do it in xbox

[fringe agate]

LB and RB to decrease and increase

[eternal rain]

Thanks, I'll give a try later today!

[muted lance]

Hello, I'm unsure if this is the correct place ask but is the current active expedition the one that gives Mass Effect themed rewards? Tyvm

[fringe agate]

No

[muted lance]

Ahh, sad. But thank you very much for quick answer 💖

[jagged sedge]

Well folks, my base on New Kehille, called 'Utopia 1' is now stocked and ready for visitors - please drop by for upgrades, and there's an oxygen extractor nearby too 😁

[willow geyser]

that was the second expedition

we are on the ninth

there are ways to get it with a save editor though

[tough slate]

Forgot to reply. Yes, it is ^^

[chrome harbor]

The sentinals in this expedition are beyond annoying I’m literally wasting my time 90% of the time doing the missions running from them because there’s nothing else to do like wtf

[patent canyon]

One thing which I wonder about the current expedition's focus is if it's just random thing HG made up or if they want to have tons of bases to change procedural generation. Or if this hints planning of finally being able to colonize abandoned and uncharted systems. 🤔

[jagged sedge]

Who knows what the Devs are cooking up for us, all I know is I want more!

On a side note, my explorer frigate visited New Kehille, it was listed in the debrief

[willow geyser]

what are these for

[meager scroll]

Refining into nanites

[jagged sedge]

Every time I see something like that, I want to put it in a bioreactor

But that's not in this game, so, in a refiner then

[ashen shore]

How to do the expedition?

Im on switch if that info is. Needed

[fierce pollen]

create a new save and click "expedition"

[ashen shore]

f

I dont wanna restart😭

[meager scroll]

Expeditions are a separate game mode

They all require a new start

But don't worry, the individual milestones reward lots of stuff

[both bases are on New Kehille]

[ashen shore]

Would i be able to claim those expedition ships in the normal save

[jagged sedge]

Yes, once you claim the final reward in the exp. save, your other saves can claim from the QS companion

[quasi copper]

If you're sick of running from Sentinels, deactivate them at a Sentinel Pillar. The pins have coordinates for them on Planet 3 (New Sesto, the aggressive Sentinel world). They stay deactivated as long as you stay on the planet (and don't reload).

[jagged sedge]

I just ignored them and built my base anyway

[ashen shore]

Oki

I started one

[jagged sedge]

Good deal - enjoy!

[ashen shore]

Thx

Will it take long teh expedition?

[jagged sedge]

I've read some players have done it start to finish in like 4 or 5 hours

[ashen shore]

Oki

[jagged sedge]

But no need to rush, you have until April 3rd to finish

By the way, feel free to drop by either of my bases on New Kehille, if you'd like some loots

'Utopia 1' and 'Camp Copper'

both on New Kehille

@willow geyser sorry I just woke up but I'm on PlayStation so idk how to even attempt save editor

Finnaly at my ship

Why cant i craft?

You have to be in a base to craft. Check out the pins; there's a lot of info there.

Any base?

Yeah, any player-created base.

What they mean with teguster settlement of the 1st planet

[quasi copper]

Not sure about anyone else, but I don't understand the question. Might need a screenshot of the thing you're seeing that you're asking about.

[quasi copper]

Is that Phase 2, Milestone 1? If so, you need to follow the quest marker to the second planet, Pehaelump, and report in at the big planetary installation (archive) for further orders.

Oh, wait, looks like it's Phase 1, last milestone? Same answer. Corrected below. Goal is on New Kehille.

[ashen shore]

Ye

[quasi copper]

Yeah, follow the yellow diamond~~ to Planet 2~~.

[ashen shore]

Oki

[ocean gorge]

That says register on the first planet though

[ashen shore]

Yea

[ocean gorge]

But it still should give you a marker to head to

[ashen shore]

Register it on the fiest planned

After that go to the secomd

jesus now i have 2

im about to punt on this

i tried running up and flying my ship up to the top of the volcano

too much extreme heat damage

both times

[jagged sedge]

Stand near the edge, click on the grave, run like hell

[cunning briar]

yea tried and ended up with another grave

and all my supplies for my second base are on it

i didnt read the items

yes

my ice cream i fortunately moved to my ship first

i moved all the non elements to make more bag room woot

[fierce pollen]

so assuming you got it before dying, I would suggest just slowly moving the grave towards the edge

[jagged sedge]

Ice cream is good to have on a lava planet

[lofty igloo]

any tips on finding all the flora and minerals on planet 1 the paradise planet?

for the quest?

[ocean gorge]

I’m not sure which part you’re asking about.
You aren’t required to find mineral or flora on the first world, New Kehille
You can opt to find 3 aquatic fauna on the first world, New Kehille, since there’s no sentinels and it’s just easy to do that and some of the other milestones and get them out of the way (check the pins; stuff like finding humming sacs for the albumen pearls, finding armored calms for their pearls, and so on).

There’s Flora Magenta milestone in phase 3, asks you to find 8 flora on the 3rd planet.

And Eyes in the Mist, milestone for phase 5, asks you to find 6 fauna on the last world.
But nothing is required in the first world, certainly not mineral or flora.

[lofty igloo]

Oh I know its not required. I want to get the bonus credits!

[ocean gorge]

Units I guess you mean, because early on without scanner module upgrades you won’t be making much from scanning, but finding all the fauna for a planet does net some nanites

[dull phoenix]

is utopia permadeath?

[late garnet]

No

[sullen meteor]

the milestones give you plenty of nanites. if anything what you need is credits; I found a planetary archive that was selling copper, pure ferrite and chromatic metal and made my main base there. credits were gained in the beginning by going into caves and grabbing albumen pearls

[ocean gorge]

Signal booster (if you decide it’s worth to make one) can help locate various things to investigate, but it varies how helpful it is. I’ve sold stuff I’ve found at various buildings and so on.
One of the easiest things to find is salvaged data, it sells for a good bit of units

[dull phoenix]

i cant find the titan worm thingys on the infested planet

[wraith junco]

He will find you

[dull phoenix]

he did

[pale skiff]

how do i find my base location if i didn't get to place a base computer down at it and kinda got lost

[dull phoenix]

no idea man

[fringe agate]

You don't need to, as long as you got the milestone for finding the area - you can build wherever you like

[pale skiff]

i tried uploading the base and it wouldn't let me

Is there a way to do this?

[fringe agate]

Get the glyph address

[sharp musk]

How do I do that?

[fringe agate]

Use photomode via your quick menu

The bottom left should show some - if not hide and show the menu a few times - the buttons are listed at the bottom

Then save the shot

[neon zodiac]

Are you supposed to return back to regular Base Computer costs once you finish all the Expedition objectives?

[fringe agate]

Once the save converts

[neon zodiac]

Ah, okay, I finished last night and I thought it would've converted on the go, but costs didn't change. I guess I had to exit the save and get back in.
Thanks!

[fringe agate]

No problem

I don't think you have a choice

You have to use the hauler for the Bakkin system (basically completing the expedition since the system is abandoned so there’s no other pilots to buy a ship from)

[sullen meteor]

crash sites?

[ocean gorge]

I don’t think there are any wrecked ships either, but I can’t say 100% for sure

I never found any.

But that isn’t conclusive

[wintry linden]

I got a random crash site and got a fighter

[solar drift]

I found a crashed ship.

[wintry linden]

I wasn't sure if it's a bug or

[ocean gorge]

Ah so I guess it’s possible to find wrecked ones

So it's possible but you'll need to fix it first.

How does everyone feel about the new utopia speeder?

[wintry linden]

Ty

[ocean gorge]

The stats aren’t the best for a fighter but it’s still a neat ship, because it’s a different style

[ashen shore]

It somewhat resembles the a-wing from Star Wars

[wintry linden]

@ashen shore snow speeder

[ashen shore]

True

Its like a mix of both though

it has that protruding piece in the front, wings out the sides and blasters on top

[void kayak]

tbh I'm thinking its much more similar to the snow speeder. The closest planet when you leave the Utopia questline is a snow planet iirc, which I thought was a nod to Hoth lol

[fringe agate]

You can only craft at a base

[low otter]

inventory crafting?

[fringe agate]

So make sure you have stuff to charge with before you leave a base

Yeah

[ashen shore]

This is why i say its a mix of both the A-wing and the Snow Speeder

[low otter]

wdym charge with "havnt played nms in like 2 months"

[fringe agate]

You won't be able to use raw materials for a lot of things you normally can, you have to use the crafted items like starship launch fuel

[low otter]

oooo

[fringe agate]

Or ion batteries

[low otter]

charge equipment

mk

[fringe agate]

Yeh

[low otter]

how long would you say it took you to do it?

[fringe agate]

I'd hang out on the first planet, it's a paradise - and gather ferrite, copper basic stuff like that

Oh, I build a base at each place, took me around 8 hours or so casual

You are only required to build a base big enough to upload though, like 16 parts

how do I explain this... saves are the different timelines you have going on within a game. instead of going on your usual one, go to the tab below it with a plus sign on it. thats how you make a new save

[wraith junco]

Load game- bottom of the list and chose empty slot - chose expedition mode

[ashen shore]

can I still get the utopia speeder after this ends?

[ocean gorge]

Nope, it’s expedition exclusive, you have to complete the expedition before it ends, and claim it as the expedition completion reward. Once you’ve completed the expedition and claimed the Utopia Speeder, you can claim it on any save you have or subsequently create

Shooting asteroids. Also sometimes you can find trade terminals that sell it (usually small quantities though, but if you buy from several it can add up)

[muted lance]

Ughh any way i can turn off others' base icons? I can't find my own during this because too many expedition bases

I would much rather not turn off my Internet

[median ember]

No other way than going offline

[wanton delta]

There's a mod for it, but I haven't tried it. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1906

[muted lance]

That sucks rather badly. And no mods- PS4.

[wanton delta]

@muted lance In that case you could temporarily disable multiplayer right? I also had trouble finding my bases but If I go to the space station I can teleport to them since I put teleporters in all of them.

[wraith venture]

you can even try going "offline" temporarily while doing the expedition. i used to do that quite a bit in the past and as long as i started the expedition save while online, it worked fine.

i also recommend submitting a suggestion to HG (run !hg or !HelloGames in #bot-spam for a link or see pins) to raise awareness about this issue btw...

I agree that seeing too many icons in the HUD is still an issue in expeditions and heavily populated hubs.

Making it very difficult to find our own icons.

[muted lance]

My problem with this plan is that space fights make me literally sick, & I was trying to get back to base to warp to the station & sell gravitino balls without getting ganked by pirates.
(Cause can't turn space fights off in expeditions sadly)

[wanton delta]

That sucks

[muted lance]

Yeah. I hate that a lot. There's quite a few games I can't even play because of that kinda thing.
And I've turned multiplayer off still see all the bases so rip

[wraith venture]

you can try going offline as i suggested.

[muted lance]

Going offline also cuts all my other stuff that I'm using on console such as party chats and Spotify.

[muted lance]

And I just did, hence my slow reply. I would reacted to let you know that I saw that, but I do not have the react ability.

I've had the game since 2016-2017 and just recently found the discord so not high enough level for much 🫠🤦‍♀️

[wanton delta]

@muted lance On PC theres an option to disable multiplayer. On PS4 is there the option or are you forced to "pull the plug"?

[muted lance]

I've toggled multiplayer off and I still see all the bases sadly.

[wanton delta]

In that case I would contact support like RedHot said.

[muted lance]

I did.

That's why I took a little to reply

[vapid fiber]

on planet 3, where would i find the sentinel pillar? it isnt at the coordinates in pins

[stone lotus]

is it just me, or were there no sentinels on the aggressive sentinel planet? just finished the expedition and didn't see a single on one on any planet

[vapid fiber]

ive already found one

[stone lotus]

weird; I ran into literally zero; all default settings, haven't changed anything (although I don't think you can in expedition anyway)

[muted lance]

I couldn't even step a foot outside without sentinels after me. Cloaking and digging holes to hide in are what saved me when that happened though

[ocean gorge]

I had no space fights at all during the expedition. There’s only one planet with aggressive sentinels, and there’s coordinates for the sentinel pillar in pins, flew directly there and as soon as I set down I went to the panel and shut down sentinel forces for the planet.

[ocean gorge]

#nms-expedition message
This has coordinates for the sentinel pillar

[muted lance]

[wooden hawk]

Welp, took me two days but I have just finished the Expedition! This one felt a lot shorter than the previous ones honestly, tho the constant and never-ending search for freaking copper was interesting

[distant kiln]

Does anybody know where volcanoes are for the caldera expedition phase? Ive visited multiple areas on the scalding planet in the first system but its covered with the red tree things. I've never seen a volcano on that planet

[meager scroll]

There should be some on the 2nd planet you go to

Do you have any mods installed?

[distant kiln]

The better planet generation, but I didn't think mods affected multiplayer

[meager scroll]

This mod would alter the planet also in singleplayer scenario

Disable it and try again

HI folks, I have finished expedition and it turned to normal save, should it be possible to play the expedition repeatedly?

[wraith venture]

You can. You'd just need to create a new save each time. Since save converts to Normal when you complete all the phases.

@swift furnace Def check the Pinned Messages in this channel for super helpful tips. Especially the No Man's Stranded one

You can also look for YouTube videos if you'd like. Search for keywords like "NMS Utopia". I haven't watched any since like folks in #nms-questions mentioned, this particular expedition is relatively easy, if you follow the game's instructions (especially in order). And I do recommend checking the No Man's Stranded tips pinned here.

Here's a YouTube video I found with those keywords I mentioned. But there are other content creators you can find there. https://youtu.be/A-vekEd8r88

[tepid grove]

Only thing I hated about the expedition is how cliffy the planets were

Very irritating to navigate

[wraith venture]

The peaks can def get annoying. Best way to navigate thru those is with the nomad. Saving materials for re-building the geobay in each planet helps lots (per pinned tips).

[median ember]

Do we HAVE TO make a base at specified location or can we make it anywhere

Like it says "special place provided"🤔

[austere meteor]

I think as long as you go to the area, it doesn't matter

[ashen shore]

If I finish the utopia expedition and it turns into a normal save can you continue on and do the normal quest line and stuff?

[ocean gorge]

Just have to find the designated location they want you to reach. After that, you can go build anywhere

[ocean gorge]

Yes. It converts to a regular save where you start with “go find your friends at the Anomaly” and so on. Which should bring up Artemis Path soon thereafter, I think

[swift furnace]

Alright I've just made it to phase 2 part 1 and I gotta take a pause for a bit. Is that good progress?

Note: I started at 3:40-50ish

hm i guess so, looks like a star wars rebel ship 😃

[thick umbra]

@median ember Can not find your pillar marker .. did you drop a base comp ?

[ocean gorge]

Not sure if it’s intentional or just there’s limitations because of so many bases people have made, but this has been reported before (not being able to find base someone else has made). Friend of mine tried making some helper bases for starters on New Kehille just the other day, posted coordinates and someone tried to find them and there was no bases at those coordinates. So something is definitely not working as it usually does

[thick umbra]

yeah ... did try 2 days ago to find 2 bases by coordinates... nothing there

[ocean gorge]

There are sentinel pillar coordinates listed for 2nd and 3rd planet in pins (which covers the aggressive sentinel planet at least).

[thick umbra]

But I can not see them .. dunno why

NVM ... I just would test it ...

[ocean gorge]

I know in past reduxes (the ones over the holidays, at least ones where we had land bases) I built a base on Xbox and found it on PS5, or maybe it was vice versa but it worked. So I think something is working differently in this expedition, for whatever reason. I can see a few bases but not many, and what I do fly by (I don’t usually bother landing) are very simple structures. I’ve done the expedition on 3 platforms now so I got used to having what I needed with me so I didn’t get stuck needing a base, or suffer being stranded etc. But I guess having a simple base here and there is really all someone might need, not anything fancy. I can understand them maybe not wanting others to set up copper extractors perhaps?

[median ember]

I have recently uploaded it...might take 24 hours...its cords in pins as well
Base is SENTINAL G-TOPIA

[ocean gorge]

Maybe if the base is over a certain size or complexity it doesn’t get listed, but idk really (just a thought since the idea is the system is supposed to be abandoned, lore wise anyway)

[wanton delta]

What planet in the Bakkin system should I setup my storage containers?

I'm about to land on Idalth for the first time btw.

[ocean gorge]

Idk, I only had enough stuff to fill one cargo container tbh

And I kind of collect a lot of stuff lol

[storm fiber]

I just started an expedition. my first ever

it's challenging

[wintry linden]

It's also my first

[storm fiber]

perhaps we can give eachother advice

[ashen shore]

After the expedition turns into a regular save do you keep all the items and upgrades you’ve gained ?

I’d like to continue the save after the expedition is finished but curious as to what happens to everything

[meager scroll]

Yup

All the items, currencies, equipment do carry over to Normal mode after conversion

[ashen shore]

Oh sweet

[thick umbra]

No Base ... also not in the teleporter list

[median ember]

REALLY?🤔

Its possible that you are playing in different server...(western) while i uploaded in eastern...coz expedition servers have lots ppl online and its possible

[dusky nexus]

Hi all, I've been looking around finding out how to get the haz mat Gauntlet, as I don't seem to have it in my exosuit or multitools. I've done phase 3. What can I do if this was misplaced somewhere?

I'm guessing there's no anomaly in this expo?

[ashen shore]

Plz say that in the help channel

[wintry linden]

Did u claim rewards

Or learn it at the exo suit station

[jagged sedge]

I believe in exp 9, the hazmat gauntlet is unlocked by collecting albumen pearls [5 of em]

[thick umbra]

You can harvest them already on the first planet

[median ember]

M on fourth stage.. somehow i feel this expedition is rigged

Everytime you start looking for rss it's not available anywhere

I mean a stupid thing as copper is giving me trouble....and this fourth planet....GRAH

[thick umbra]

thats why I did spent 30 min on the first planet ..:CoppEr...Coppper...Copper Haha

[wraith junco]

Yeah . You do prep on first planet so rest will go smooth

[dusky nexus]

@jagged sedge @wintry linden thanks for trying to help, was resolved in Help Channel. Just no room in Tech slots to make it.

How do I get to the volcano crater

I'm literally standing on top of it

[quasi copper]

I believe in order to achieve the Caldera milestone you have to take Extreme Heat Damage by passing over lava. You can do it by jetpacking across one of the lava flows at the top of the volcano. Recommend putting all your stuff in the exocraft before doing this, just in case, because if you die, your grave may end up someplace you can't reach.

[ocean gorge]

There’s tips in the pins as well

[median ember]

Uhhhh... Wrong ping?🤔

[median ember]

I found a safer way not sure if it will work in your case.

1....don't recharge your "heat protection" on hot planets...let the heat bite you...could be during storm as well (Mine got triggered by that)

2....jump into spontaneous fires that appear anywhere on hot planet.

3...get to top of volcano...and make sure your jetpack is full ...jump into one of the corners of lava once you get hert damage jetpack immediately away from there...you will trigger the objectives.

Personally first two are still lot safer imo.

[royal slate]

oh wow

utopia is still going on

i thought itd be over already, guess the redux ones were MUCH shorter

wait i am yellow

thats new

[median ember]

Congratulations 🎉

[storm fiber]

how did you all get resources on the 4th planet? the barren one with no resources and sheer cliffs around you?

[edgy hamlet]

I dont think i needed any resources like that.
You can always go back to one of the starting planets and far/ buy what you.
If you got no fuel that might be a problem

[storm fiber]

I'm always harvesting the stuff used for fuel

but I went to starter planet to farm what I needed thx

[tight ermine]

Just mine everything u come across, the game keeps giving u inventory spaces so inventory won’t be a problem

[thick arch]

I once got stuck on an island I the middle of an ocean in the second or third planet with no launch fuel. I had to either swim for hours or start over. I chose start over

[edgy hamlet]

Oof prob for the best.

Im a new player to NMS. Utopia is my first expedition.
And i hadn't played much before hand.

Now I gone straight and made a permadeath mode. Should be a lot more exciting now ☺️

Same I got stuck on 3rd planet where I had no fuel and base was 15 min away. Ended up to the point that my life support was too damage so I just instantly started dying as soon I respawned lol I just decided to start over

Sentinels constantly attacking definitely didnt help

im not gonna get it done

You only need a 2x2

[ocean gorge]

For the aggressive sentinel planet, it can be really helpful to go to the sentinel pillar FIRST and disable sentinels planetary wide before trying to do anything on that world. There’s coordinates in pins, just in case you run into too much trouble. The pillar is close to the colossal archive for the aggressive sentinel planet

#nms-expedition message
Coordinates are in this part of the pinned stuff

[swift furnace]

Alright I've managed to make it to the second final phase of the expedition

[boreal crag]

how hard/long is this expedition?

👀

[tough slate]

The difficulty is somewhat exponential. The beginning is a rough grind for resources.

Once you've gathered what you need (minerals, health resources, etc.), it's quite straightforward.

Your inventory does fill up fairly quickly, from the expedition rewards, so there is that too. Thankfully, you get a couple of upgrade modules to help with the inventory space, and with other stuff like movement, etc.

It took me about 5 days, on and off, from my experience. However, it's possible to finish it within a day or two as well.

||Copper|| and ||Ferrite||. I found that to be quite in demand throughout the expedition

[boreal crag]

wow its pretty buggy huh

spawned in and im just spinning in slow circles lol

and the screens all dim

[tough slate]

I played with multiplayer turned off, so I didn't face too many issues, aside from a single crash during pulsing
.
I can't comment about multiplayer 😅

[boreal crag]

lol wha

this was dirt earlier!

[ashen shore]

I actually found a shuttle that had crashed with minimal repairs required, it was a b class, so not bad.

Still weird with mainly everyone having haulers and not a single shuttle in sight

so the new recipe in this expedition for the Nightmare Sausage, supposedly you're able to make it with a hadal core as one of the 3 ways to make it, but you can't put hadal cores into a nutrient processor so now I have a gap in my catalogue mocking me 🥹

[shy dagger]

Hey hey, i need some help cause i am kinda lost in the fear of doing something wrong and ending up somewhere without fuel or stuff

[mental geyser]

This is the right place! What would you like help with, where in the expedition are you? There aren’t many places you can get stuck but everyone here is happy to help out.

[median ember]

I made a base near sentinal pillar...not sure if you can see it in teleport list

#1 tip plan ahead...and make everything you need on the base itself in advance

[mental geyser]

Check the pins in the channel. The coords for the Sentinel Pillar are there, shut the suckers down! I really, really hate them too

[eternal rain]

I tried to plug an electric cable from my base to the sentinel pillar ahah, didn't work 😆

[shy dagger]

i need to find a a place with the aliens to kill

[shy dagger]

like the lab you have to free or something

[thick umbra]

which mission do you mean ? @shy dagger ???

[cosmic pendant]

I done it in 4hrs and 23mins

[thick umbra]

3:30 is also ok

[mental geyser]

It would be helpful to know which stage you are in. Is it the aggro sentinels planet? That one is tricky but doable. Generally, the enemies in the expedition are less powerful and with ample ammo can be easily defeated.

[shy dagger]

i just did it, no worries :£

[jagged sedge]

I have started a new exp. game - my character has the body of a Gek, but the head of a Korvax, which is about 50% larger than normal -- very weird looking

You can delete the base ,,, I never did it ...Not sure if you get back your stuff,,,you must just keep in mind that you collect as much Copper, Ferrit, pure ferrit (that vulcano planet has a lot) and at least 240 Cobalt before you head on towards the next mission

[jagged sedge]

The only time is have gotten my base comp back after building it was when there was a previous claim on the spot, and I got it returned to my inventory to try somewhere else

[median ember]

You won't get your stuff back

My suggestion... Make a base with a tp or look for a base with tp so you can easily switch back n forth between planets

[jagged sedge]

Most of my bases end up with just a teleporter and biofuel genny in an otherwise empty house, and my base on New Kehille is where all the amenities are

I recently learned, if you have an oxygen harvester running and start another process nearby, like a refiner, the oxygen that has been gathered tends to vanish

[tranquil aurora]

@jagged sedge that explains so much.

It's one of the aspects of the game we just have to work around, I guess

[boreal crag]

@thick umbra @cosmic pendant thanks for the intel, yeah seems to be the average expedition runtime 😆

[tranquil aurora]

Dumb question as I've never done an expedition before. How do expedition rewards work? Are they available for all my save files past and present? On PS5 here.

[fringe agate]

The major rewards are available to any and all saves, once you claim them in the Expedition.

You redeem them at the QS store.

[tranquil aurora]

@fringe agate awesome, thanks 🙂

[fringe agate]

No problem

[solemn crag]

@thick umbra yes i been doing that, i failed my first attempt because I ran out of fuel looking for copper lolz.
@median ember That is an amazing idea, love pinging the community, thanks so much.. probably do this although i destroyed the first base to see if i could get the base computer back, but i did keep enough mats to make a new one first

Made a bunch of launch fuel etc

and made sure I can have my exo vehicle out, would be nice if we got the mech but then that would defeat the purpose of the environmental effects lol

[thick umbra]

I use my Nomad if I search for resources... that way I save the fuel for my ship 🙂

[median ember]

Use my bases if you want to spare yourself the effort...not sure if they are visible though

[median ember]

All of my bases have G-topia in name

😆

😂

[jagged sedge]

Hey, have you built the ship upgrade machine yet? I'd like to borrow it's use?

[median ember]

Yeah sure...lemme build my base on final planet

[jagged sedge]

Don't rush for my benefit, I may not even be able anyway

[median ember]

Nah i ain't rushing it

I found a minor settlement and turned it into my temp base

3/5 my base have landing pads

[jagged sedge]

Awesome -- Speaking of, I found a base with a copper extraction -- Woot!

My thanks to whoever built the 'Seaside base'

[cosmic pendant]

No problem man how u getting along with it

[boreal crag]

I only got to the stage 2 so far but wasn't hard

Just slow

Hardest part is grinding the materials

😄

[jagged sedge]

I will, if I can find it - the Switch version doesn't always display other player's bases

Oh, my supply drop had a donut in it

[thick umbra]

I never found a base from Interlooper 😦

[thick umbra]

you can easy run away from them

[harsh niche]

how long does this expedition take

like

can it be done in a week

[thick umbra]

yes

My longes took 3hours and 30 minutes

[harsh niche]

I was askin cause they gave so much time on this one

[thick umbra]

maybe they need that time to prepare the next expedition 🙂

[harsh niche]

one of the reduxes took me 12 hours

the one with the animal photographs

[harsh niche]

fair

just been really busy lately

[jagged sedge]

I think the previous not-redux expeditions got the same amount of time, iirc

[harsh niche]

oh I didn't know I missed em

thas cool tho

instead of bein stressed and hurrying I can do a little over time

[jagged sedge]

They happened before the Switch version came out [which is the one I bought] so I missed them, but it's fine, we only go forward from here

[median ember]

[median ember]

I completed it in 5 days...no rush

[jagged sedge]

I'm not in a rush, but I am looking forward to having my favorite upgrade in my starship

[median ember]

I put that starship computer in my last base

You can check

Well i kinda ditched the hauler....and used the ship i found instead

[jagged sedge]

I haven't decided if I will keep the hauler, maybe if it wasn't class C it would be kept by more players

This is one I found and fixed in my main save

[jagged sedge]

I like to think those side-boxes are where the cargo happens, and there's like a small-ish 'living' area in the center -- good for RP purposes, anyway

[thick umbra]

@jagged sedge thats my Oldtimer 🙂 https://youtu.be/D0VMn_Zkau0

was my first Hauler I ever got 🙂

[jagged sedge]

I'm afraid my security settings prevent links, but I could see a pic if you can post one here

[jagged sedge]

Whoo - what a looker she is

[quasi copper]

For those seeking a semi-safe way to get cores from whispering eggs, I've created a base. It's called "Utopia Kama - Hylarion 5 - Boxed Wh. Eggs," and is on Endil (Planet 5) at +0.46, +136.40.

May not help anyone, since people generally don't seem able to find other people's bases beyond a handful per planet.

[storm fiber]

I'm having trouble with the last step. I cannot find all 6 animals to scan. for the life of me, I cannot find the last one. advise?

[quasi copper]

It's a bird. Try a different location on the planet. Could be it really just needs time, but I wandered around a bit and found it after not too long. Just keep looking up.

[storm fiber]

ok. thx. I tried looking for it in my ship, no dice

[quasi copper]

I don't know how animal spawns work -- if certain types have certain points at which they spawn. I found it in the vicinity of a base with a name like "tree house, curious deposits" (which happens to be an awesome-looking base).

[storm fiber]

ok. thanks, I'll look around. I've got to head out for the weekend, but I'll look when I get back.

[solemn crag]

I don't see how people are doing this whole thing in just a few hours...took me that long for the first planet rofl

[thick umbra]

just concentrate on getting the resource .. no need to scan anything.. get as much copper .. ferrit ..pure ferrit.. dy_hydro 240 Cobalt...oxygen.. find the 5 pearls in a cave and finish the missons 5+6 from phase 2 and 3 to get early rewards... all on planet one 🙂

[solemn crag]

@thick umbraahh nice, thanks

[jagged sedge]

The data bank says it's diurnal, which means it can be found in morning or evening, so look for it at those times

[median ember]

The one i got for expedition

And one found ... fixed...and used during expedition @jagged sedge

[jagged sedge]

My hauler is really long, and has no wings - weird looking

Ah, is that on New Kehille?

Awesome - looks like it's time for some wreck-hunting!

As soon as my rations are ready, Imma head out

Spare parts constructed, emergency charts in hand - I'm ready!

I generally stay with shuttles or haulers, but my current hauler is rubbish

Now for the boring part, the abandoned building tour -- sigh

[jagged sedge]

Welp, I searched around for a looong time, but only found more C class haulers - I went to a nearby system where a very charming Korvax made me a really good deal on a gently used explorer, so I bought it - no repairs required 🙂

[jagged sedge]

So, different topic, I found a nitrogen hotspot near my first base, but not sure if nitro would be actually useful -- any thoughts?

Welp, I'll head to main channel, peace!

[jagged sedge]

I ended up heading off to set up a dioxite mine - it can be ground up into ferrite, which we always need, and metal plates are even in positive demand, so -- money!

[median ember]

My bases changed...i mean entire building changed...it was an abandoned system in expedition but its a fully inhabited system now...lol

do you NEED to build the base where they say?

because uh, its underwater

[quasi copper]

No, once you've visited the location, you can go build it anywhere on that planet.

[boreal crag]

[slender marsh]

i flew all the way over to a sential pillar, landed, didnt realize my launch fuel was low and cant craft launch fuel bc i am not at my base :')

didnt realize you needed to be at a base to craft those too

I think you need to be at base to install it, but you can be anywhere to add the parts when you have them.

[boreal crag]

I was confused because it just kept saying "technology installed" but wouldnt show up at the slot

so looked like a bug to me

that was it, thanks!

[quasi copper]

[slender marsh]

[quasi copper]

No bases near there?

[slender marsh]

[quasi copper]

Can you do multiplayer?

yes

[quasi copper]

PM me. If I can find you, I can bring you some fuel.

[serene kettle]

Where can you go to upgrade the number of inventory slots in this expedition? Didn't see an Appearance Changer station on the Space Station.

[quasi copper]

Some milestones give you inventory slots directly. You could possibly get more before you finish the expedition by doing Phase 5 early and going somewhere else.

[serene kettle]

Where do you go to install them?

[quasi copper]

If you have the item sitting in your inventory, I don't think you can do anything with it until you can get to another system.

Do you have mats for base computer?

Things you can use to complete a base and make it useable...
1 base computer
4 floor panel
7 solid walls
1 door wall
1 teleporter
1 solar panel
1 battery
2 wire
*1 Save point (if necessary)

TOTAL 18 PARTS and your base is uploadable and useful in case you wanna go back.
Do this for all bases so that they get linked and you can also visit space station before objective...to buy stuff has uranium and other important stuff.

[sly pond]

Counter-Proposal:
1 Base Computer
1 Glass Cuboid scaled up to 3x
1 Solar Panel
1 Battery
1 Ladder
1 Landing Pad
1 Teleporter
3 Objects of Your choosing, fir minimum 10 objects to make base uploadable.

Actually the 3 objects would have to be a prox switch for the teleporter else would run outta juice

[slender marsh]

ah i didnt think of this but its fine someone gave me some launch fuel

side note the sentials keep turning back on and ive been on this god forsaken planet for five ish hours

[boreal crag]

anybody know where i can buy a quantum computer and magnetic resonator?

ah checked pins

nevermind :D

[boreal crag]

finished the expedition in 3:56

on to main save to collect rewards

[median ember]

Landing pad...bruh... 🤣🤣🤣... Mine would make small 🛖 ... I would have recommended the mud hut but it isn't available...so a 2 by 2 box with roof is good enough for me

3/5 my bases are build within existing building...

With landing pads

[median ember]

My teleporter is running on 1 solar panel and battery but never ran Outta juice... 🤔

[sly pond]

Wait, I may be confusing an older power requirement - nvm, I was being dumb, Teleporter + prefab only =25kPs, so yeah constant on works for it

[median ember]

😆

If you don't use prefab

Then it's 20kp only

My battery drain time was always > my dark hours remaining on solar panel before it starts charging again

Can any of you see my base on New Kehille? It's called 'Haminst station'

[thick umbra]

no ... there is none.. but I must say that I also never saw a base from Interlooper @jagged sedge

[jagged sedge]

Welp, my ODS is on, base uploaded again, with a couple improvements - maybe it will appear to others, eventually

[jagged sedge]

-54.31 by +8.49

[jagged sedge]

As I am exploring other systems, I came across a freighter battle, so I started shooting the pirates, thinking it may be time to do the hero thing, but alas, a couple stray shots hit a cargo pod, so sentinel ships started arriving - le sigh -

[woeful niche]

Your base is not there for me. Yet.

[mental geyser]

Been there, done that. I have a heavy trigger finger

[jagged sedge]

I hope it will appear - I have it stocked with all the research stations

[jagged sedge]

Strange tho, that it was already unlocked

[mental geyser]

What was unlocked?

[jagged sedge]

The pillar's MT

[mental geyser]

MT? Weren’t we talking about a pirate battle? I’m confused now.

[jagged sedge]

My more recent posting was about a sentinel pillar, but yeah, the pirate battle didn't go well

[mental geyser]

Yeah, sentinels and pirates. I head for the space station in that case …

[jagged sedge]

Exactly what I did, lol

Anyway, now shopping for a freighter, since that first [free] one didn't work out

[mental geyser]

Good luck!

[jagged sedge]

Thanks - I found one I could aford in the system I'm in, but -- it's UUUgly

Looks like the engine out of a wrecked chevy nova

[jagged sedge]

Welp, I've located a pirate system, where I can raise some funds to get a better freighter - and get some smuggler's credit, lol

I have raised about 17 mil, that should help get me a decent freighter

[valid mesa]

Nice

[lusty slate]

My S class system freighter was approx 10 mil with trade in, so yup.

[jagged sedge]

I'm afraid I messed up my initial freighter battle, so I'm just having to purchase w/o trade -- but it's fine, I found something decent

[umbral raven]

I just see the sentinels as more targets

To add to my starship kills

[serene kettle]

Having a hard time finding a wiring loom. Anyone know where to get any?

[vast atlas]

how long does these expeditions take for a casual player? I only just started the other day on a normal. Is 9 days more than enough for a newer player to get it done or am i insane?

[fringe agate]

That should be sufficient

Think 6-8 hours as a brand new player is reasonable

[vast atlas]

sweet

[lusty slate]

Buy them at trade terminals or from NPC pilots.

[meager oyster]

Do you have access to terminals in expedition? I thought star station was overran/offline?

[meager oyster]

As a complete new player, it took me like 10 hours, but I didn't read the tips here about stocking up on resources on first planet, so I had to make a lot of back and forth trips mining for resources. If I knew to stock up on resources, then 8 hours would sound about right. i also spent longer than I should have on some planets by tunneling everywhere to avoid threats (sentinels, etc.).

[vast atlas]

haha never thought of tunneling. I just abuse the punch & jump to get out of hotspots lol

[low vigil]

Do they rotate expeditions or are they new each time ?

Also do they run concurrent? Like this ends 4/4 will 10 start 4/5 ?

[fringe agate]

The previous 2 years they have re ran the Expeditions from each year, over Holiday season

4 new ones each year so far

They haven't run concurrent, except when they do the Redux at the end of the year

It has a Trading Terminal on one site and a teleporter at the other site

[serene kettle]

Is there a trick to finding the ECHINOCACTUS plants in Phase 4?

[fringe agate]

Provided you are on the planet with them, no. Use your visor and look for the plant icon.

[tame frigate]

None of the planets say they have cobalt on them on scans yet I need 120 ionised cobalt for the magnestic resonators to make the scanner to pinpoint a gas hotspot for seismology milestone?

Afaik cobalt is in those nodes like copper is right?

[mental geyser]

I think you can find it in most caves

[tame frigate]

ahh ty I guess they changed it haha I recall them being like copper in the ground for terrain manipulator to get it out before

[mental geyser]

I have seen deposits but I think that would be listed as you suggest but the caves are also a good spot

[ocean gorge]

Some planets will have cobalt deposits, but I don’t remember if any of the expedition planets do

[thick umbra]

Cobalt is in any cave

so actually you only need 240 Cobalt

[serene kettle]

I got my Cobalt from one of the Trade Terminals at the main "sign-in" base you have to go to. I believe it was on the second planet where I got mine from.

[vast atlas]

wait that was it? i thought this was all leading up to some crazy boss battle or space fight :/

[fringe agate]

Yeah, I did a prefab to stand in and used the build cam for mine

[dusky whale]

yup

[cunning idol]

If you can kill 6 waves they stop bugging you, even on the high security planet

With the upgrades you get to the pulse splitter it's not too bad to do

[thick umbra]

I never fight them... my jetpack is good enough to escape

[fringe agate]

There are pillars listed in the pins as well

So you could just go shut them down

Lol

Shut

[cunning idol]

I got to the point where I'd just wipe 6 waves so they leave me be until I left planet

[dusky whale]

I have a ~250hrs game, and even overstuffed, i am uncomfortable

[thick umbra]

haha .. you need to find them first .. at my last run my coordinates were direct next to a pillar .. that was a nice one 🙂

[young notch]

try boltcaster with its upgrades in overcharge slots and surround it with sentinel upgrades

it's a laser

[cunning idol]

Personal shield or cloaking device, pulse splitter. Run and gun until wave six. Dig a hole that veers a bit to one side, lure the minotaur and plink away

[dusky whale]

I don't get it how it's not clear, I makes me anxious, playing on those planet. Any stuff makes me uncomfortable fighting in that game while on ground

[cunning idol]

The pulse splitter with a couple of damage upgrades will 3 shot anything except the dogs and walkers

If you can get the airborne reload for your jetpack you don't have to fight on the ground :😜

[dusky whale]

It took me a week just to dare deactivate them, with a super-stuffed minotaur

[fringe agate]

Lol

[young notch]

minotaur lol

[cunning idol]

I get it, just trying to offer ways to get it done if you have to

[young notch]

your multitool is way better

[dusky whale]

HIDE o_O

[cunning idol]

I dunno, if you're trying to get away the jet jump on the minotaur is pretty good for it

[dusky whale]

oh ookay, my bad. I'll calm down

[cunning idol]

It made me super anxious at first too. I still avoid it on my main save since I don't have the right mods yet. Felt backed into a corner with it on the expedition though so figured a way to get it done

[dusky whale]

Yeah. I can get it. For me it's because I can't aim at all ; eyes-to-hands coordination problems, just as any other game that requires shooting

[cunning idol]

And that's why I love the pulse splitter... just gotta be looking in the right direction

[clever wren]

Very nice expedition finished. Thank you devs!

[tepid grove]

What do you guys think about this Expedition? I think it was fun but very annoying cause my dumb butt abandoned the vehicle on the first planet

Exocraft

[ocean gorge]

If you followed the advice in the pins, and dismantled the geobay as soon as you had it built, then you didn’t have issues building and summoning the exocraft on the next planet and so on. Although tbh I didn’t need the exocraft much after the first and second planet. Mostly to find copper on the first planet, and helping scale the volcano on the second.

I didn’t mind the base crafting as much as I thought, although it was a bit annoying. Finding a ton of copper for all the chromatic metal and the base computer recipe was more of an annoyance tbh.

[tepid grove]

It's really the only issue I had. The amount of mountains on most of the planets. The last one was a refreshing change

[ashen shore]

[ashen shore]

yeah

[strong solar]

Alright, I'm giving my first Expedition a try! Just read all the pinned tips and tricks. I haven't even finished the Artemis quest, so hopefully that's ok.

[wraith venture]

Sweet! And yeah, totally okay. Since the Expedition will be a separate new save. Which converts to Normal when you finish it and where you may continue the main campaign. Or you can just switch back to your other save to finish the main Artemis quest there. Since the main Phase rewards are cross-save, you don't have to be attached to the Expedition save.

Pinning this in case it helps people who'd like additional tips in video form.

@strong solar Make sure to collect as much as possible Copper, Carbon, Ferrit, 240 Cobalt..pure Ferrit (you find a lot under water.. there get 3 living pearls and scan 3 underwater creatures) on your starter planet... Here you can finish missions 5&6 from Phase 2&3 to get early rewards

[strong solar]

Thanks for the tips! Yeah I watched xaines world tut. Did not know about the creatures

[merry coyote]

I always end up waiting till the last minute to do the expeditions…

[dusky whale]

Also, you don't have to respect any specific order :>

Almost done

What are GekNip and NipNip Buds useful for this Expedition, also ?

[thick umbra]

no use .. sell or trash em

[dusky whale]

Thinking about planting them on Settlement Gamma 🤡

[thick umbra]

Be aware if sentinels scan your cargo 🙂 .. NipNip on board .. means trouble 🙂

[dusky whale]

I know about that

How about I use storage box, then I build it again on planet, directly with nipnip in it, underwater

[thick umbra]

that would work

[thick umbra]

haha .. underwater 🙂

[dusky whale]

I like to live dangerously but don't ask too much

[thick umbra]

No Risk ..No Fun 🙂

[dusky whale]

Ship is bad, I can't :D

[ocean gorge]

Yeah the hauler really sucks, but you can use nomad for time on planet and ship just for space travel if you want (and there’s a few times where you need ship to travel across planet some distance, but you can keep use of the ship down to fairly infrequent). I agree it’s hot garbage😆

[rugged sail]

Did it 😎

Nomad did all kinds of work in keeping me sane

[strong solar]

Do I need to build teleporters in my bases?

Ho that's what I do, I even fell in love for the Nomad

[dusky whale]

No but it's useful

[strong solar]

Nevermind, I don't know solar panels blueprints yet.

Is there anyway to change my avatar appearance when you start?

[dusky whale]

Didn't see about it

[ocean gorge]

Not at the start.
But there’s no shortage of salvaged data. Since you do a lot of trekking around, especially for gathering copper and other resources, I suggest scooping up buried salvaged data as you come near it. Helps unlocking buildable blueprints once you get the Utopia building module, which along with the other modules you’ll unlock along the way, serves as your replacement for the Anomaly since you can’t access it and unlock things there until after you complete the expedition.

I got tired of looking at my default assigned look, so I spent the 10 salvaged data I think it was and built the base module that lets you change your appearance. You’ll need power, you can use the biofuel thing with batteries or choose solar too (or some combination biofuel and solar with batteries). My first base didn’t have teleporter but those after it did. There’s no right or wrong way, you only have to build the minimum necessary to meet the expedition requirements, otherwise you can put whatever you want at your base🙂

[strong solar]

Wow! Thanks for all that useful information. I will definitely put it to use, I appreciate you taking the time to write that up too.

[plush token]

hey could u help me with expedition rewards im new and idk what im doing

[dusky whale]

There are people who will explain better I think

Not that I don't want to help you, I definitely want to, but, there ARE people who do a better job than me at that

[ocean gorge]

First thing would be to read over the stuff that’s in the pins, lots of helpful info there

The rewards, that stuff you get by completing the milestone and phases in the expedition tab

Once you finish the expedition, you can get the speeder and the main rewards on any save from the anomaly at the quicksilver vendor

[umbral raven]

Nah I could shoot down sentinels easy in a hauler

[ashen shore]

can i help people who have reached the end of the expedition already?

id be willing to help, if i can, but i reached the end of the expedition and my save is a normal one now, dont know if i can even join people doing utopia

[calm trail]

I wish haulers had rotateable turrets on them like the Millennium Falcon/ Ghost for that extra defense.

[west grove]

the game keeps crashing bruhhhhh

[thick umbra]

any error code ?

[lapis bolt]

I thought that was me

lol
