You may have a look into your windows Event Viewer for more Info about that crash.
WIN+X will open that windows list, there start the Event Viewer and
expand Windows Logs and look under Application for warnings with a timestamp of that crash.

I finished the expedition but the quicksilver companion wants 1400 nanites for the last expedition reward while using a different character. Is this mandatory?

Is the Expedition Speeder supposed to cost 1400 Nanites on your other saves? I thought once you got it in the Expedition it was free to your account.

How do I do coordinates?

#

I'm on the third planet now, gotta disable the sentinel tower so I don't get shot at every five seconds, how do I use the coordinates to get to the tower?

I have not found another way. Maybe the planetary charts?

I had to refind it twice, it will turn back on if you stop playing the game. Make sure you're near it if you continue after quitting.

#

One other question, will we be able to keep anything from Utopia on our main characters? There's a creature I captured I absolutely love and I want to keep him

strong solar
#

I do not know that question, although I believe it's a separate save that gets turned into Normal. The only thing cross save is the rewards in the quicksilver terminal, I believe.

ocean gorge
#

Egg rewards such as from expeditions or Twitch rewards, or things you unlock with Quicksiliver, are cross-save compatible (you can get them from the QS vendor)

You can view planetary coordinates on a panel in the cockpit view, once you enter the atmosphere

The Utopia was my first expedition in NMS on PS4. I just did the final phase and I hit X to claim all the rewards in each please. Bit it looks like the final reward for the sitter if I hit X to claim it will it open on this save?
I thought on our main save we can go to the quicksilver in the Anomaly and get it from there.

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THAT EXITING THE GAME WOULD BRING THE SENTINELS BACK

quasi copper
flat mulch
#

me reading the stranded guide
"pfff that's easy, there's no way it could happen to me"

me stuck in a hole with zero launch fuel while the sentinels won't despawn
"IT HAPPENED TO ME"

quasi copper
#

Do you have a save before that happened?

ocean gorge
#

It won’t matter. Whether you use a restore point or exit and reload the game, the sentinels will still be reactivated

quasi copper
#

Yeah, but he could maybe not be stranded.

ocean gorge
#

Oh that part, yeah maybe

quasi copper
#

Unfortunately, it seems like in MP you still can't deactivate them for other people?

ocean gorge
#

Or if they had enough stuff to make the nomad, they might could find another base to visit if there is one close by.

flat mulch
#

I don't have any paraffinium

#

They won't despawn even though they can't see me, I'm underground in a hole, why not?

ocean gorge
#

You can craft in any utopia base. If you have enough income, you can buy launch fuel from places that sell it, trade terminals. Uranium can be used to fuel the thrusters as well

quasi copper
#

As far as I know, they'll mill around forever. Dig out in a different direction?

flat mulch
#

Tried that, they followed me

ocean gorge
#

Yeah they’re extremely aggressive and persistent

#

So unless you can defeat 5 waves of them, it’s not a good place to be stuck😔

quasi copper
#

Maybe just come out and melee boost away, and they'll lose you again.

flat mulch
#

Oh shit I can just kill them?

quasi copper
#

Yeah, you can kill them if you can kill them.

flat mulch
#

I thought they were just infinite

ocean gorge
#

Yes, if you have good weapons and exosuit shields

#

In space they’re infinite

flat mulch
#

I killed a couple waves, let me get em off me then

ocean gorge
#

On ground they go thru 5 waves

quasi copper
#

If you get through five waves, they deactivate planet-wide (for you) -- unless you leave or reload the save.

ocean gorge
#

You can see the 5 red diamond things in the upper corner representing the waves

They do start having tougher types in later waves.

LOL. Yeah, I tend to mine more on aggressive Sentinel worlds just for spite. But there are lots of them -- anyplace you beat the sentinels will be the same, and if you go away and come back, or reload, they'll be back again.

What reward? The starship? Another player can give you their ship. It’s simple, since it’s an expedition reward, have someone start a new file or use an old expedition file. Get the starship and start a session with you. Have the other player TRADE a starship for the one you want. You can then buy the expedition starship off the NPC. This is the only way I know how to transfer starships between players

tried my first expedition - this utopia thing

did well until the 3rd planet or so
this planet is worse than mc caves and cliffs - i always hated extreme hills so i have no intentions of upgrading my mc version

mc aside, this planet is just dangerous - to the point i now have to start again (if i even can) cause theres no way i will survive

1 - i tried to get to my next base but the ship needed me to land. i did. right in the middle of a gravitino ball field and i was attacked by sentinels immediately upon exiting

2 - discovered i cannot relaunch my starship due to no fuel, and i cannot make more without making a base

3 - i spent the next 1.5 hours making it to the next base site, only to then need 400 copper for chromatic material for the base computer

4 - the nearest copper is right next to my starship -_-

5 - i spend 30 minutes (now i have waypoints and not running blind) getting back to my ship and the copper (but there's less than 200 copper so i need another deposit)

5.5 - the entire time im being pursued by sentinels for my accidental approachment (not a word) of the gravitino balls

6 - i make it back to the build location as there was another copper deposit close to it but in the opposite direction

7 - there i save and am immediately hit by sentinels and a heat storm

8 - my jetpacking around instant death "extreme hills" of this planet has depleted my life support and i cannot recharge it - there goes any exploration or returning to my ship plus with the heat storm and no way to build a shelter i will die (not happened before so i dont know what that entails) plus the sentinel attack about to happen = no way forward

what is the point of these expeditions if they are impossible?
i get others have completed this and other ones, but seriously, how do i move forward in this one without restarting - now im 4 hours in with "nothing" to show for it?

sinful meteor
#

digging underground is self-refueling (silicate), protects you from storms, and discourages the sentinels from actively chasing you (until you bump into another one).

death probably won't cause you major problems, just tap your grave site for your items. might even recharge your life support.

quasi copper
#

For bad terrain, use an exocraft or ride a creature. Turn off sentinels at sentinel pillar, or, if you have combat skills, defeat five waves.

sinful meteor
#

speaking for myself going at it blind i had no sense of direction for the sentinel pillar, though i'm sure there are bases littered around it labeled "sentinel pillar btw". So I tunneled. I think most people found planet 3 annoying for how much it pushed sentinels on you.

exocraft on new planet requires rebuilding the exo pad (dismantle your previous planet's one if you remember to, for resources), i wasn't thinking ahead enough to do so, plus sentinels keep chasing people away from the bases they're building and going to air during sentinel activation is a death sentence unless you're fast and stay up only for brief periods. (aka, you know how sentinels work, which i guess many fresh people don't)

quasi copper
#

My first playthrough, there was a very convenient base. On my second, that base wasn't visible to me. I followed coordinates (very irritating process) to the pillar and dropped a Save Beacon on it.

sinful meteor
#

i don't recall an early story quest that actually walks you through the process of blowing up sentinel waves, visiting the pillar, and turning them off.

quasi copper
#

If you have the Pure Ferrite (and it's 1:1 from Ferrite Dust, so not hard to get), it may be worth it to drop a pre-fab module and slap a door on it, then do the rest of the building from inside that.

quasi copper
sinful meteor
#

nearly everything else in this game has extensively laid out tutorial quests, i get that they want sentinels to be scary/annoying but they could've had something where early players get a temporary power boost or npc's and plow through them to observe the process.

expedition does give you weapon/shield upgrades before planet 3 at least, but it's all very implicit.

quasi copper
#

Yeah, I did the combat-oriented stuff and Caldera last, after I'd gotten all the shield upgrades it was going to give me for everything else.

Using the tips in this channel helped me a lot. I’ve played the game quite a bit as well, and done the expedition reduxes over the holidays. I didn’t get stuck once, but there are some particulars this expedition that you need to prepare for. That’s where the pins are useful and I recommend reading them through in advance

Also ... You can tp to other ppl bsse

#

We have two sentinal pillar marked where you can go and turn them off

ocean gorge
#

And always keep enough stuff to craft the nomad with you
Goes without saying, always have launch fuel and, if possible, some uranium with you too (never hurts)

#

The uranium can be your backup plan

median ember

#

The nomad climbs steep inclines very easily, which is why having it helps a lot

#

Or...build a base on abandoned building or trade post

#

Buy launch fuel

#

Or uranium

#

Can also go to space station ... To buy those

I feel like we’re talking to ourselves😅

I checked it has... uranium.... phosphorus.... dioxide.... ammonia all basic stuff 🤔

ocean gorge
#

It’s true though, most issues people have, reading the pins would’ve prevented, or solved

median ember

I didn't read pins either.... 🤣

She keeps saying read the pins...and i do not

median ember
#

For example i made my first base here

Working landing pad and a trade terminal

sullen meteor
ocean gorge
#

Also, you don’t have to build at the coordinates it gives you, just land there to get the objective complete. If you find somewhere else better to build, by all means, do so. Such as next to a minor settlement or trade post or whatever that has a free landing padsuccess

median ember
#

And when you get suit expansion...enabling super slots first is MOST SMARTEST THING TO DO

#

Like i did

sullen meteor
#

Also if you land on a trade hub or planetary archive, you're so high up off the ground that the sentinels will struggle to find you let alone attack you

sullen meteor
#

so you can easily fight them and disable them that way

I enabled my super slots in first suit expansion reward

So rest was easy

And i was fortunate enough to get

You guys think I can start the expedition rn, and finish before it ends in less than a week?

I literally copied a speedrun video and it took me only like 50% longer than them at ~2 hours. lol

frosty wing
#

way too much info to have read at 4am - but i did skip through it all but didnt see most (if any) of the really important stuff unfortunately

i always check pinned messages and faqs before seeking help online - or try to as my search terms are never what have been used previously - i am no longer the walking thesaurus i used to be due to a mild mental break down several years ago. if the search terms do not show up i cant find the answer i need mostly due to someone using a different same meaning word

i had a quick read through the pins here before starting my first expedition (seemed to be the smart thing to do) and seems the main reason i wasnt able to craft before heading to next planet was being smashed by sentinels on planet 2 and flew away to escape them and pulse to next planet (i had used a map to find something or other and the sentinels didnt like that)

i didnt know i could delete stuff i had built and recycle the materials, so thats handy

i have 50 hours or so game time (i have been holding off of expeditions) but this was sporadic, but have clocked quite a few hours in this latest continuation of play now i can auto target pirates and sentinels, i always had to out run them

sentinels never seem to stop after 5 waves - or the 5th wave doesnt end, never has for me

sentinel pillars? never heard of them before

frosty wing
quasi copper
#

In space, they don't end; on planets, they should. However, I believe there is a Sentinel type that summons other Sentinels, so that can prolong things.

frosty wing
#

ah - i cannot play 3rd party shooters - so awkward, so i always head to space due to the auto targeting - but it didnt end as i was told

#

i used to be really good at halo 3 - my friends and i played 1 vs 3 where everyone versed me - i always won

but all shooters (not that i play them much these days, boring as hell) since halo arent so easy to play and i struggle with that aspect of any game as a result of halo's game mechanics being so good (just in my opinion)

quasi copper
#

I'd advise running for a space station in space or using the terrain manipulator to hide underground on planet. In this expedition, anywhere but planet 3 (New Sesto), they'll give up and forget about you after a while. "Sentinel Force Deactivated," it should say on-sceen when they've forgotten you.

#

Minotaur exocraft trivialises sentinels

but this is expedition

On planet 3, they'll still forget about you, but as soon as one of them spots you again, they're all over you again.

i noticed - im stranded and about to die from sentinels and a heat storm (from jetpacking around and consuming my life support or whatever its called)

Which planet are you on?

frosty wing
#

the extreme hills biome one

#

i landed for the coords for the base, wasnt the coords for the base
it was a field of gravitino balls
then sentinels came for me
then i found i had no ship fuel (i was chased by sentinels from the first two planets before crafting more)
and had to run from them to the base coords for about 2 hours

#

i guess i just have to let myself die first (i was at like 5-10% health from the mountain climbing), then regroup and come up with another plan

quasi copper
#

If you can do multi-player, I can bring you some launch fuel.

frosty wing
#

building at another base is a good start
could get my exocraft back - i heard they are good at steep hills

#

i wouldnt know the first thing about nms multiplayer - other than others seem to come and go

i tried to do a weekend mission for quicksilver, but someone else joined my party and took the mission from me, explained nothing and i didnt get any quicksilver

#

my main issues with this planet is the rarity of copper for a base computer

#

if i had a base i can build
now i know i can build at other's bases - not sure how long it will take to find one though

quasi copper
#

If you do find copper, you know you can reduce your terrain manipulator area of effect to get more stuff out of each deposit?

frosty wing
#

never heard of that

quasi copper
#

If you're on PC, you can use the 'r' key to reduce the area. It makes it take a long time and you have to recharge a few times on larger deposits, but you get more per deposit, which is good when it's the only one you've found in an hour.

frosty wing
#

r huh? will try that - theres only one more deposit in scan range
the closest one was right back near my starship -_-
got there only got 190 odd out of the 400 needed to start building
just managed to get back to the building site and save when was found by sentinels again + that heat storm

will try that, if i can find that new deposit! thanks

I got the combat visor, but didn't know how to access it

Pulse splitter huh? I'll keep that in mind thanks as well

finite rover
#

you select it with the same button you select different types of terrain manipulation when you have a weapon selected

#

I think it's LB to use the secondary weapon on xbox. no idea on PC. you hold it down as you aim and it helps kill recoil.

frosty wing
#

Ah its a secondary weapon then it sounds like

I've been using personal force field or cloaking device

finite rover
#

yeah. it takes that spot.

Imo cloaking device is better than combat scope or force feild

i keep forgetting i have all of them installed - so dont use any of them, not really

Well cloaking is just like Harry Potter cloak

Good to avoid sentinal

Combat scope is good in case you get in tight situation and find it hard to aim

Sheild...is okay...but it drains your life anyway

depletes so fast though - only thing i dont like about it

Well good for getting behind sentinal.....and getting slightly away.....

seems like combat scope it is then
and i can uninstall at least one of the other two

median ember
#

Well it's personal preferences

frosty wing
#

certainly dont need all three

#

can you quick swap them like the primary - without going into settings?

#

seems to be the only downside of the secondary weapon

I think you can...

omg omg omg - i think i will survive now!

1 - thanks for the tip about hiding in a cave in the side of the mountain (very vanilla mc early game - not only did i survive, it also gave me silica to recharge something i keep forgetting)

2 - thanks for the tip about the roamer exocraft (not only did it scale these bloody cliffs, but i could build the summoning platform without a base - ill remember that)

3 - thanks for the tip about crafting in anothers base (i didnt get there - closest was an hour away - but in going there i found enough copper - about 1200 or so)

4 - thanks for the tip about building bases near trade stations (not only did i find one on my way back to my ship, but it also sold starship launch fuel and had landing platforms that could recall my starship without it needing launch fuel like before and my starship has the pure ferrite i need to build my base computer so i dont need to find more!)

#

5 - thanks for the tip that i do not need to build where they say - this trade post will suit my purposes fine

It had rouge-like game mechanics, where dying would reset your progress (mostly)

The Leviathan itself as well

Somnal Dust I think as well?

No it was Cursed Dust from exp4, my bad

the leviathan

No

#

That system has its own living frigate outside of the expedition

solemn badge
#

for real?

#

also what is the leviathan on expedition?

#

is it special besides class?

fringe agate
#

Not really, it's a unique frigate - but doesn't have any special abilities I'm aware of - but then I don't run frigate expeditions so I didn't pay much attention to anything besides the looks

It's unique

but can you get it now?

Nope

#

The exp7 save gets coverted to Survival mode

You needed to finish the original expedition run or it's redux in December (?)

fringe agate

Only with a save editor - or if winders Consumerism mod allows for purchasing that too

solemn badge
#

Has the levi. got a special model?

meager scroll
#

No idea, Im not keen on living frigates

#

But nothing stops you from getting any living frigate, upgrading it / feeding it and calling it a Leviathan

@fringe agate

#

Nah, or at least it doesn't seem like it is

solemn badge
#

can you still see the levi in space?

If you mean just going back to that system, no

no like in the expedition system.

ive heard it can only take 7-12 hours

i had a hell of a time as i couldnt take a heap of copper and launch fuel with me to each planet - reasons

#

im good now:

  • doubled back to the previous 2 planets
  • completed last available missions there
  • salvaged some stuff like the portable tech and exocraft platform
    (didnt know you can craft that exoplat without a base, so thats cool)
  • then went on a massive hunt for copper and sodium

in a much better position

wanton frigate
# wintry robin i just started the expedition, will i be able to finish it in these last 3 days ...

Read the pins, plan ahead and don't waste time on non-essentials, you'll be done in a couple of hours. Key tips are to carry a buttload of copper with you at all times (bases are expensive to build and you need to build 5 of them), always have spare launch fuel in your pocket and where possible do any of the Phase 3 tasks you can on another planet that's less annoying. What are you sitting there reading this for? Get moving! You think that damned bird is going to scan itself? (you'll know the bird I mean when you see it. Or rather, don't see it and wander around for 3 days straight scanning the sky for it)

The Phase 3 rendezvous location (Outpost Gamma) is at +37.84, +56.40.
There is a sentinel pillar at +37.69, +57.36.
This is only approximately 1,400u due east. It is less than a 20 second flight in your starship, about a minute in a Nomad.

any tips for finding hungering tendrils? i've never come across one before this mission

If you have that mission selected I think it’s supposed to switch to an alternate version of the visor, the one that gives a directional indicator, to lead you towards a worm burrow so you can trigger hungering tendrils to shoot at

landed at my base and was greeted by 4 tendrils

Discovered by accident that ||after you finish the expedition and go back to the system the space station is normal again, which feels good, feels like I accomplished something||

#

all of my bases were made of wood with 4 floors walls and one door with 4 rooves (doesnt looke right but discord accepts it - been a long time since i had to write rooves)

ashen shore
#

I did that for the first two but then figured out for every other one, plopped down computer wherever on the planet I landed and built a bunch of carbon based decorations till it told me I could move on, destroyed everything and left.

#

Everytime I leave and come back to this game I have to re-learn that a lot of it is a screen telling you that you have to do something or can't do something, with no actual restriction in place.

#

on the part where you must learn a multi tool part from the utopia multi tool that you build at your base...Ive done that but the mission doesnt complete. any idea why?

#

I even learned more than one and installed one..still nothing

#

Are you sure that you did install that MT ? And did you open it ?

ripe flame
#

well you should only need to learn it, bit it decided to finaly complete the task after saving and reloading so I guess it glitched

Hey guys I'm curious what are the common intervals between expeditions basically after this one ends how long will it be till the next one starts

Couple of weeks maybe

#

There is no set roadmap for NMS

So far we've been getting 4 expeditions per year

Usually right after a major update

It's probably some sort of update after this

the speeder is literally my best starship
my second best is the twitch hauler
the 2 solars, the fighter and the weird one from the last twitch all suck from what i could tell
i measure this via firepower - the hauler had more firepower than the fighter though it had more manoeuvrability, but i didnt really care much for that stat

then i got the speeder, this thing is so fast

then i upgraded it and it awesome

now i have experienced my first expedition i regret not playing them sooner - and i had the chance to play the replay for Exp 2 (for the Normandy), but was moving 3,000kms away that week and the pc was already packed

i look forward to the next one (and its loot), now i understand expedition's basics

Last year (2022) we had 5, 6, 7 and 8.

# cobalt shore So do I, but you never know...

well, i doubt HG will re-run any expos. and no new expo content has been released via game files, which modders would've noticed by now. so we'll definitely need a game update before an expo happens. and we'll have to see an experimental branch update before a game update.

But I doubt it will start tomorrow

We have no information about the time update 4.3 (Singularity) will be released on your platform. Each platform has its own certification / verification procedure that's out of the developer's control. As a player-run community, we have no insight on said process and cannot determine when the update will go live. This can lead to "version mismatch" error when trying to join a multiplayer session of a player on a different platform.
