nms-expedition

[runic crescent]

you guys are on phase 4 already!?

[neat latch]

You can check what is needed in every phase.

[pine relic]

it also explains why korvax systems were broken on steam >.> they made a boo-boo relating to one of the phase 4 milestones that affected all dissonant korvax systems, I'm guessing.

[neat latch]

RIP!

[runic crescent]

time to dig in and focus on this :)

i want that new body

[terse dust]

Taking notes rn also
The second system, Gildem XV, has S-class modules for Movement, Pulse Engine, Hyperdrive, Blaze Javelin, Mining Beam, and Scatterblaster

[pine relic]

I am, at least

not the first either judging by all the comm balls everywhere

[sinful dirge]

How is the expedition? Is it good? Worth the rewards and just fun to play?

[neat latch]

[terse dust]

It's alright so far, yeah

[pine relic]

very interesting in terms of lore, too

[terse dust]

Do we know if you gotta redo it for the other head yet?

[pine relic]

Not sure yet but as soon as I finish the first run I'll test it right away :P

[sinful dirge]

I don’t think this is too spoilers… can you get both helmets 🪖 or can you only unlock 1 for your game?

[terse dust]

Just asked that

[runic crescent]

honestly.

if i dont get the one i want

[terse dust]

I think you can get both. Plus you choose your path.

[runic crescent]

ill just save edit the other one. im not running this a second time lmao

[terse dust]

Ah well, lol

[runic crescent]

i cant wait :D

[reef kelp]

Is phase 5 part 3 bugged?

[pine relic]

when I read the update I thought they might go like 'depending on what the majority of the players choose, everyone gets that one'

but I doubt they'd do it like that

[terse dust]

Yeah doubt

[pine relic]

oh goodie, a timer. Because starbirth was so well received...

[terse dust]

Xigbartta
(3rd system, Atlas Station)
Tier-2 High Voltage Economy. Gek-controlled.
S Modules
Toxic, Underwater
Exocraft Boost, Minotaur Cannon
Phase Beam, Pulse Engine
Blaze Javelin, Scatter Blaster

[sinful dirge]

I’m screenshotting lol

[terse dust]

Tip: Talking to Space Station NPCs is a great way to get Modules, which you can sell for Nanites to buy better ones. Just know what they like.

[pine relic]

that's fair, but you can do just fine with all the freebie modules and pre-packaged techs

[terse dust]

Yeah, true. But now I have an upgraded Hyperdrive and Jetpack from the second station alone

Only one S-class upgrade per though

Movement and Hyperdrive are the best for me

[compact bough]

Anyone else's phase 1 "search the abandoned camp" mission for the new expedition not working?

[neat latch]

Any aggressive sentinel planet in this expd?

[terse dust]

Did you talk to the busted bot?

And dump his memory?

[compact bough]

yes

[terse dust]

Dunno then

Wait, did you select the mission itself?

Mine swapped to the wrong mission at first

[pine relic]

none that you have to visit, but some in the rendezvous systems if you want.

[jovial trench]

when does this expedition release, i still dont get it when i open the game

[compact bough]

idk, how can I tell

[neat latch]

Disable multiplayer, reload save, try again?

[pine relic]

Scan.

[neat latch]

Aye! Thanks 🙏🏼

[compact bough]

alr guess I'll try

ohh I have to scan

[neat latch]

You have to scan.

[terse dust]

Hit ESC, tab to Expedition, then select They Hear Us

oh lmao

[ashen shore]

currently at work, can I get a quick summary of the expedition so far?

[compact bough]

Wait there's nothing to scan? What do I scan?

[terse dust]

Hit C

They just mean "use your scanner"

[compact bough]

oh bruh I was doing the other thing when you register plants n animals etc

[terse dust]

Yeah you were thinkin Analysis Visor :P

Made the same mistake lol

[compact bough]

wait wtf

[jovial trench]

can i know when will this expedition release?

cause i dont get the prompt to start it in the menu

[compact bough]

I did the thing with the robot, dumping the files or whatever and then I thought it I was finished w that cause it wouldn't let me open the robot again

[pine relic]

Are you on steam?

[compact bough]

then I scanned my sorroundings

[jovial trench]

xbox

[compact bough]

went to the robot again and it let me dump the files again

[pine relic]

Gotta wait till microsoft clears it then

[compact bough]

and now they hear us is finished

that was weird

[jovial trench]

bruh moment

[terse dust]

Yeah, had to scan first.

[frank scaffold]

this is what it did to the monolith

[neat latch]

I like the colors

[dusk crest]

Has anyone completed this mission? After I uploaded the Echo seed, the mission progress did not change, still 0%.

[frank scaffold]

i am close but didn't do it

[weak trench]

is there any point

in

claiming the sentinel ship

?

[pine relic]

longer hyperdrive range

[dusk crest]

Waiting for you.

[weak trench]

cant complete the expedition with solar ship?

[runic crescent]

phase 2 woo

[pine relic]

you probably can, but I upgraded to the interceptor

[frank scaffold]

okay, im waiting 10 mins for the construct to be built

[pine relic]

Construct is... not what I expected

[frank scaffold]

it kinda looks like from subnautica below zero tbh

[weak trench]

does every1 gets same class

of ship?

i got b class for sentinel

[frank scaffold]

yes, everyone gets the same ship type and class in the start

everything else, no

[reef kelp]

i've gotten to it and completed everything else, but this one still seems to be stuck at 0% even after uploading 20+ seeds

[meager scroll]

Are ya kidding me?

I can't interact with Atlas because someone else is?

[frank scaffold]

turn off mp

[meager scroll]

What kinda idiotic design is this?

[frank scaffold]

idk

ask sean or the developers, not the community

[runic crescent]

sooo

do we unlock the robot body from expedition or

am i just wasting my time

[frank scaffold]

we do

just do the expedition

i hope the patches will release soon

[frank scaffold]

wait so you did the 4th phase, why do some people complain about the construct seed not working

[pine relic]

No idea. Worked fine for me, but there's another milestone for it on #5

[runic crescent]

this one seems quick and im happy/.

doesnt seem too annoying so far.

[pine relic]

Ah! I think I know why. Its a community thing.

[frank scaffold]

oh

so we need to wait for the community to do it?

[dusk crest]

what???

[pine relic]

well, it should work like community goals from the anomaly... everyone contributes, eventually its unlocked.

[frank scaffold]

5 tiers?

[dusk crest]

But if it's a community mission, it shouldn't be 0% now.

[north oak]

Where's the hermetic seal in Mission 2 on the expedition?

[pine relic]

I don't think a lot of people managed to get to phase 5 in the 4 hours or so since the expedition went live :P it'll progress eventually

[pine relic]

you get it as a reward from the first milestone

[compact bough]

Am I supposed to upgrade my mining laser n everything just for this?

[pine relic]

you get the upgrade for free, pre-packaged.

[runic crescent]

so we cant complete this until everyone else?

[compact bough]

I don't have it?

[dusk crest]

Well, I'm going to use a saveeditor to force completion of that mission now.

[compact bough]

Oh I thought you're supposed to do those in order

[modern bronze]

It doesn't show that the expedition is active for me? Is there a way to fix that or has it just not released yet?

[compact bough]

@pine relic Yeah it's telling me I have to complete etched in glass first??

[pine relic]

are you on either steam or GOG? only those have the update so far

[modern bronze]

OH

That's probably why 😅 I'm on Xbox one

[pine relic]

you don't have to do them in order

[compact bough]

?

[pine relic]

well, in that case you do, because you need the blueprint to build the thing :P but generally speaking you can do 'em in any order

[compact bough]

well tf, how do I do etched in glass then if I don't have the advanced laser?

Since I need that big purple crystal thing which needs an advanced laser

[pine relic]

why do you need the big purple crystal thing? the goal is to fly to the marked archive building and interact with the console

[compact bough]

maybe I went to the wrong thing, I went to a broken down ship and it told me to repair it

[hollow shore]

@wraith venture

[compact bough]

Where are these coordinates supposed to show up?

ohhh bruuuhhhh it was in the next system, I was searching for a while 💀

[tender island]

no clue what happened but I can't claim rewards 6 and 7 of stage 5?

[pine relic]

the optionals?

[tender island]

sixth is a non optional but encrypted,

seven is optional and encrypted

I managed to do both of them without unencrypting them

[runic crescent]

what editor

[wintry void]

and thats why I turned MP off at start when I couldnt interact with a interceptor, cause someone already had done

[pine relic]

that's why I had mp off even before I started tbh :P

[wintry void]

Ive put 12 in the community 1, thats my quota

[pine relic]

Anyway, I beleive those are tied to the community goal. Considering that most platforms don't even have the expedition yet, it may take a little while to get to 19%, which should move things along going by the log entry.

[tender island]

somehow, they're still able to be triggered tho :(

[dusk crest]

Have anyone complete this mission?

[wintry void]

well its only 1 not unlcoked for me and I done all others

[dusk crest]

[dusk crest]

goatfungus

[dusk crest]

What this 19% mean?

[wintry void]

at 19% it gets to tier 1

[pine relic]

You know how quicksilver rewards unlock over time with people doing nexus missions? same principle

[runic crescent]

pog

[wintry void]

I assuming 1 player can only put so many in in a certain time frame to stop duppers just filling it up

[pine relic]

during this update, this will be the 'quicksilver unlock'... it was in the update notes on the NMS website :P

[gloomy grove]

what phase are y'all on?

[wintry void]

last

[gloomy grove]

what

[dusk crest]

Waste of time. It prevented me from completing the expedition quickly.

[wintry void]

no timed runs for this 1 then lol

[pine relic]

Apparently not.

But I've finished as much of it as I could, so time to go back to my regular save for a bit until the other platforms catch up :P

Fed 15 echoes to the thing so far, I guess I'll wait until the bar moves a bit before hunting for more.

[chrome garnet]

I'm on ps5. Am I understanding this right?

You can't finish the new Expedition until the Community does? Just like QS rewards?

[wintry void]

nope

[pine relic]

Sort of. I bet they just locked it until all platforms get the update, after that I bet it'll progress quicker than quicksilver stuff.

[wintry void]

5 tiers 5 weeks

[pine relic]

I don't think all 5 tiers will be needed. Just like Leviathan.

[wintry void]

most time consuming 1 after community 1 for me was collecting stuff for lube

[pine relic]

the goal of the Sentience Echo milestone is to 'ignite the construct', which is probably gonna be tier 1. That should decrypt the remaining milestone and move things along.

[foggy steppe]

What’s the main reward for finishing the expedition

[wintry void]

i think its the robot gear that you see in video

[pine relic]

#nms-expedition message

[chrome garnet]

But you can't claim it until it's unlocked?

[wintry void]

no

[pine relic]

I understand peoples frustration but to me this isn't any different from those expeditions where we had to log in an extra day to just sent out frigate expeditions again :P

[dark cliff]

Do the rewards like helmets and capes carry over/ unlock to all your saves or only the one that completed the expedition?

[pine relic]

the phase rewards are account unlocks. Every existing and future save can claim 'em on the quicksilver vendor for free.

[foggy steppe]

Are we able to summon the anomaly in this expedition

[pine relic]

Yep. Worked for me after the second rendezvous I think.

[foggy steppe]

Well looks like I don’t have the update yet

[ivory copper]

No Exped yet peeps?

[carmine mulch]

T-T fr sean

It’s making me regret not buying the pc version too

[runic crescent]

can we still unlock the robot body parts?

[carmine mulch]

At this rate I may not even play when it comes out

[ivory copper]

[carmine mulch]

No console won’t get that option

[runic crescent]

so pc can do that

[ivory copper]

Someone ping me when the exped goes live I'm hoppin back on minecraft

[carmine mulch]

Console isn’t getting an update

[runic crescent]

so once i get to a certain part

[strange zinc]

I'm having trouble finishing "They Hear Us", aka the very first thing. I interacted with both the data dump things, and collected all the scrap. I dunno what else to do, and would really not want to walk the estimated 24 minutes to the location pin

[runic crescent]

i cant complete exped?

im on step 4

[ashen shore]

I don't even have the expedition but I'm on Xbox

Guess I'll be showing up late to the party

[carmine mulch]

Your still on intercepter then

Like everyone else on console

[foggy steppe]

Same but on PS5

[wintry void]

theres 5 weeks and it literally up to last phase took 4 hrs to do

[urban sorrel]

How far into the expedition do you get the robot customization for your character? I've been wanting to play as a robot for so long

[wintry void]

end reward we presume

[urban sorrel]

I heard it is time gated is that correct?

[chrome saffron]

When or how are you able to summon the space anomaly during the expedition?

[runic crescent]

wait so we have to wait to even unlock the main thing everyone wants?

[wintry void]

yes

[runic crescent]

cringe

[gloomy grove]

i killed a new atlandtid fragment

it blew up in my face >:(

[runic crescent]

i have to

wait 10 minuites for a step to complete....

stop

with

time gate

[pine relic]

yep that's a bit annoying but you can go do phase 5 stuff while that counts down

[runic crescent]

wait ican

[pine relic]

yep, I completed like 2 phase 5 milestones while waiting on that

[wintry void]

yep by time Id done the phase 5 first 2, 10 min was up

[gloomy grove]

WOW nodalloma hita is a shitty planet

[cosmic harness]

nms is having a stroke deciding whether or not i've destroyed the required amount of sentinels

[wintry void]

Make sure its selected in the log, and expedition page,

[pine relic]

and make sure to scan with C

a lot of people are getting tripped up by that lol

[gloomy grove]

who were the two NPCs in the trailer?

[wintry void]

Yer i did, and I just saw beeblebum did

[strange zinc]

thanks. Apparently the thing I already did needed to be interact again with and then I got it. Goofy logic, that

[dusty viper]

heads up, phase five mission three is having issues with updating when you give it echo seeds, multiple people tellin me the same thing and im having issues with it as well; spread the word and hopefully we can get noticed by our senpai overlord entity's and be blessed with a hotfix

[wintry void]

Its a community one

[weak trench]

wow ppl have reached phase 5

i am still stuck with 1

[tough summit]

do we know when the new update goes to consoles?

[pine relic]

its a community mission. Its not supposed to update that easily. check your log :P

[cosmic harness]

it's joever

i might have to make a new save

[grim burrow]

I'm having some issues, on corrupted planet the waves of sentinels are normal and not purple ones

[runic crescent]

phase 5 woo

[gloomy grove]

fragmented qualia??

what the fuck even

[strange zinc]

you probs Animus'ed some poor animal acedently

[gloomy grove]

it's a reward from phase 3

[runic crescent]

how do i get another echo seed

[meager scroll]

Folks, did your starter solar have a vesper sail or not?

[gloomy grove]

yep

it's square

and white

[strange zinc]

same

[wintry void]

didnt notice, i got rid and got sentinel ship for the 600ly

[wintry void]

nope mine doesnt either

[meager scroll]

Time to cyberbully HG over zendesk lol

[full sun]

No vesper sail on mine that I remember (left it on first planet)

[weak trench]

i cant seem to find

a ship

in expedition

i went to a new galaxy got coordiantes

for new setinel ship

on reaching there

no ship

[meager scroll]

Galaxy or star system?

[weak trench]

star system

there are even comms messages saying ship is here

but cant find any ship

[runic crescent]

sooo. how many echo seeds do i have to give this dumb thing

[full sun]

I still have to shake my head at the idiots that feel the need to litter the sites with com balls. Sad.

[wintry void]

Its a community group one, like the quicksilver

[runic crescent]

so i cant complete the expedition..?

[wintry void]

Not until community do that 1

[runic crescent]

.

so i have to wait until THIS happens until i can get the ONE thing im doing this for?

[wintry void]

Yes, just go play another save or play this 1 or go watch TV or something

[runic crescent]

lame

as hell

[cosmic harness]

i love needless time gating i love needless time gating

[runic crescent]

is there a save editor that forces that mission as complete. seriously.

its rediculous

time gating is just lame

[pine relic]

sure, as long as you can save edit the hg server :P

[runic crescent]

well is there any editor that just unlocks the robot parts.

the one thing i wanted and i cant even get it rn

because of some lame time gate

[cosmic harness]

assuming you know how to edit your save's raw json, yeah

[runic crescent]

i would need the item names

[craggy sun]

Is the expedition live yet?

[cosmic harness]

just gotta figure out what the internal names of the items are, which i do not

[pine relic]

only for steam and GOG at the moment

[runic crescent]

darn

[austere meteor]

When exactly is expedition 10 live on consoles?

(Xbox to be specific)

[wintry void]

Between now and xmas

[austere meteor]

C-christmas???

[wintry void]

Aka Microsoft only knows

And playstation

[austere meteor]

man

[slender hamlet]

wait new expedition?

[wintry void]

Id say hopefully before weekend

[slender hamlet]

nvm im on xbox 💀

[austere meteor]

Noice

[slender hamlet]

smae

whats the theme for this one

[austere meteor]

I like company's that actually release stuff when they announce

ahem looking at YOU nintendo.

[wintry void]

I think holdup is more ms and ps rather than hg

[cosmic harness]

console updates usually have to go through "certification" first before they can be released

steam's form of certification is just "dont upload viruses in your update pretty pwease"

[abstract pine]

Plop

Who else has reached the community time gate?

[runic crescent]

anyone else stuck on this?

its complete but i cant claim

[runic crescent]

yep....

[austere meteor]

lucky

is it out on console yet

I haven't checked lol

[runic crescent]

no

[tender island]

ignition isn't claimable because it's not supposed to be done lmao

[runic crescent]

but it is

all i have left is the time gate shit

:(

i just want my robot customization bruh

[wintry void]

expedition is in euclid?

[runic crescent]

first expedition i did all the way through pog

just need to wait

[dusk crest]

Are you waiting for that mission? You can unlock all rewards by using a mod.

[quaint glen]

the threshold doesnt seem to go up when uploading echo seeds into terminal prime?

am i missing something on the sentience echo quest?

[runic crescent]

what mod

and are the unlocks

forever

[dusk crest]

#nms-modding message of course forever

[runic crescent]

:D

thanks.

not waiting for this Timegate

[quaint glen]

this sentience echo quest is still not working after i uploaded like five seeds

[wintry void]

its a community mission

[quaint glen]

so does my uploading matter?

[wintry void]

someone explain i need to go to work

[loud glen]

So still no update on ps5?

[wintry void]

no i just checked

[loud glen]

Yea I just got home from work and was confused, wanted to make sure I wasn’t batshit crazy or anything

[wintry void]

microsoft one was days last time

[dusk crest]

only Steam and GOG now

[quaint glen]

im still confused about this mission

should i just upload all my seeds and then do another one

[runic crescent]

its community

gotta just wait for the thing to go up

[gloomy grove]

i've never had more trouble crafting an item than two lubricants

[worldly cargo]

ok so am I supposed to have a nav marker from the autophage?

I've talked to it twice and got the milestone for exploring the camp but I have no nav marker for anything

[gloomy grove]

just use your scanner while in space

[worldly cargo]

I just started the expedition I don't have a scanner yet

[gloomy grove]

well go find your ship and fix it lmao

[worldly cargo]

I did I'm in it in space right now

[gloomy grove]

just follow the expedition missions and you'll be just fine

[worldly cargo]

the expedition milestone says Follow the Sentient Echos coordinates

there is no marker

I have no coordinate

[gloomy grove]

PRESS C

[worldly cargo]

tho I do enjoy the pressing of C I am not getting a nav marker

[gloomy grove]

claim the rewards for the mission

[quaint glen]

galaxy map?

[gloomy grove]

are expeditions really that hard...

[worldly cargo]

that fixed it thank you

[worldly cargo]

is it really so hard to not be an ass

[edgy stream]

watch it

[south dune]

[wraith venture]

@gloomy grove Don't do that in this server. Read the #server-rules. Be civil. We don't tolerate toxicity here. If you have nothing constructive to say, refrain from posting.

Consider that a server-wide warning. Be civil. Be on topic. No drama. In any channel. If anyone has any concerns with a post, don't hesitate to run !ModHelp in any channel.

[edgy stream]

how long do expeditions usually take to complete?

[chrome garnet]

Check the #nms-news-ticker Steam is receiving a lot of updates.

I believe something is broken and they are trying to fix it before they release the console update

[worldly cargo]

they vary widely

[wraith venture]

It depends. Average for newer players can range from 6-14 hours. No clue what this one will be like, especially if any milestones are dependent on the community including the #nms-arg-2023

[edgy stream]

[wraith venture]

Veteran players who are speed running can easily average way under 6 hours.

[warm token]

Lol you can easily grab a really decent interceptor ship and make it much easier on yourself

Especially with warping

[worldly cargo]

the interceptor in the expedition didn't give me a brain

would you just get it from sentinel ships?

should I shoot the space station?

[fringe agate]

If you do, boost away a bit, so it doesn't just keep sending them and stick you at the same alert level

[worldly cargo]

oh trust me I learned my lesson on that when interceptors first came out lol

been there

[fringe agate]

Lol

[torpid pier]

aw i have to wait to finish the expedition stuff :(

[gloomy grove]

i can't seem to build a medium refiner anywhere. does it require a base computer first?

wrong chat but whatever it's relevant since i'm playing the expedition rn lol

[fringe agate]

Yeah need a base for those

[faint raven]

Is this expedition worth getting into? Or is it best to sit it out

[gloomy grove]

play it, it's got some cool stuff

lubricant...

the expedition reward is also quite nice

[tribal gull]

lubricant lmao

Gahhh the lubricant

[gloomy grove]

i'm still working on getting it lmao

[tribal gull]

I started before I needed it and had one prepared

[gloomy grove]

turns out you can refine di-hydrogen and carbon together for faecium, so i'm fairly close

the 800 gamma root was a ridiculous farm though

[torpid pier]

refining gamma root and uranium made it so much easier

[gloomy grove]

oh my god i can double it

[torpid pier]

shoutout to the wiki 💀

[gloomy grove]

such an amazing resource

[alpine basin]

Is expedition rewards not going to my main account?

Is it completely new data where i have to start all from beginning

[tribal gull]

Expedition rewards are permanent and you can unlock them on any save

[south dune]

You have to claim them from the quicksilver vendor, for the phase rewards

[livid geyser]

This is like.. really boring

[runic crescent]

im done with the expedition im just waiting for that cringe research bar to go to 100%

so i can actually complete it

other than that its been good

[tribal gull]

I wonder what the tiers are gonna be worth if anything at all

[alpine basin]

But i have to start new save mode to start expedition mode right?

[tribal gull]

yes

[alpine basin]

How can the rewards come to my account if u start new game data

[livid geyser]

Im doing the expedition rn

[torpid pier]

from previous expeditions?

[livid geyser]

This unironically stinks

[gloomy grove]

give it a chance m8

[lone echo]

I guess i'm done?
Apparently the last milestone is curently bugged, the other is community dependent

[livid geyser]

This is gonna take forever

[tribal gull]

They can be claimed from the quicksilver vendor on any other save

[livid geyser]

Oh god are you seriously telling me i cant even get the rewards until the community lock thing is done?

[runic crescent]

yeah lmao

[lone echo]

That is exactly what i'm saying

Fun

[livid geyser]

So the entire expedition i’m doing is JUST to be able to get them? I still have to wait for a time lock?

That’s actually fucking BS

[alpine basin]

But i need to finish the expedition mode to unlock that?

[tribal gull]

No you just have to earn the reward during the expedition

For instance

The Phase 4 completion award is the Wayfarer's helm

[runic crescent]

yeah no one can complete the one step right now

im stuck on this

[gloomy grove]

watch me

[tribal gull]

Once you get that you can activate it on any other saves

[runic crescent]

it says i can claim it but i cant

[livid geyser]

This is boring

[lone echo]

Same here
It says i need to unlock a jumble of leters first

[tribal gull]

It was pretty easy

[runic crescent]

it was easy lol

[tribal gull]

Besides the lubricant

[livid geyser]

I cant even find copper

[runic crescent]

the other expeds i did take a look and was turned off from it because of how annoying it seemed

this one was easy tho

[tribal gull]

Buy it in a station

[bitter mirage]

YUP!!!

[livid geyser]

Creative exploration is so much more fun

[tribal gull]

either from the galactic trade thing or a ship

[fringe agate]

Stop playing it

[livid geyser]

so wtf is even the point of the expedition?!

[fringe agate]

It isn't required

[bitter mirage]

what a creative way to make the expedition longer!!!

[lone echo]

They made this one short
But locked the main reward behind a community unlock so people don't just end it early

[fringe agate]

Don't do something you don't like, makes no sense

[ivory copper]

[livid geyser]

Is there another way to not deal with the FOMO system? I didn’t think so

[bitter mirage]

makes kinda sense but still kinda lame imo

[livid geyser]

I just wanna be a damn robot

[lone echo]

Mods i guess but they take a while

[fringe agate]

[tribal gull]

Same bro

I been trying to become a sentinel forever

[fringe agate]

Already one for it

[honest shuttle]

anyone know if that fancy cool multitool is expedition only or if it's some kind of reward that you get at the end?

[bitter mirage]

that robot skin looks sick asf

[honest shuttle]

Man i haven't talked here in a long time.

[bitter mirage]

gonna be great for pics

[livid geyser]

How long is that community lock

[bitter mirage]

can the robot skin have capes? that would be so sick

[lone echo]

Oh it's already updated?

[fringe agate]

Yeah

[livid geyser]

Afaik consumerisim isnt updated for the robot stuff

[lone echo]

Aight, screw the expedition

[limber shard]

Alright so uhm... I'm stuck on the first mission?

[livid geyser]

I try ti do the expedition atleast once

FOMO Sucks.

[honest shuttle]

Math.

[livid geyser]

Heh. Sharded planet.

funny right?

[ocean hollow]

someone in the anomoly gave me echo seeds, I want to do everything on my own. does this item spoil anything on the expedition?

[runic crescent]

they can wear anything. you can even use the robot body with armor. and stuff

[bitter mirage]

woahahhh thats gonna be siiick

love that

[runic crescent]

source: I have the robot stuff

[bitter mirage]

mods

?

[livid geyser]

This is gonna work so well, my character is a sentinel that kinda got a body

[runic crescent]

yeah im not waiting for some community stuff

but i did do everything inthe exped.

[fringe agate]

@cerulean pebble Consumerism have the new stuff?

[livid geyser]

Which mod?

[runic crescent]

Consumerism

[limber shard]

Yeah that's the thing, I don't understand what I'm supposed to do-

[bitter mirage]

i dont like using mods so im waitn here...

[cerulean pebble]

ye

[fringe agate]

So there you go

[runic crescent]

use consumerism if ur on pc

[honest shuttle]

I really don't wanna spoil it but you might be overthinking it if you're stuck where i think you are.

[livid geyser]

Im gonna go get the update consumerisim brb

[runic crescent]

its what i did. after doing everything else.

[cerulean pebble]

yeah you can wait for it if you don't use mods

[toxic mortar]

When does expedition end?

[fringe agate]

Stop playing stuff you don't like, and seriously do some introspection about FOMO, that's an internal thing you don't need pressuring you. You won't ever be able to experience everything in life

[cerulean pebble]

it's not like it's locked away forever

[livid geyser]

I get why you’d want to do the full expedition but after hearing that there’s a timelock JUST to even get the thing itself i’m just getting the mod

[bitter mirage]

in 5 weeks about

[toxic mortar]

Thanks. 🙂

[runic crescent]

5 weeks. july 11th

[livid geyser]

Anyways

Are the robot parts colorable?

[bitter mirage]

that robot stuff is gonna be so cool though

[runic crescent]

trust me its what i did for expeditions 1-9

[lone echo]

I'll check it during the last week to see if it's done and get the badge here

[bitter mirage]

its gonna look so cool in buildings and freighters and stuff

[runic crescent]

this was the first expedition i did legit

up until i was locked out of completing the last thing

[livid geyser]

I got consumerisim because i literally just wasnt around for the previous

I hate FOMO mechanics because it’s like

[bitter mirage]

expedition was fun though guys we dont wanna hate too much

we gotta be grateful for what we get

[zenith arch]

I dont have access to the expedition

[livid geyser]

“Hey that’s cool! How can i get it?”

“Well you can’t because we said so. Didn’t know about the game? Tuff.”

[lone echo]

I'd prefer if they made it a permanent questline in the base game
Radiant quests get boring

[runic crescent]

honestly.

[wraith venture]

well, the idea of "fomo" is based on fear, which is subjective. if you feel that fear and let it affect you, that's on you. There are folks who don't feel that way and either enjoy the gameplay or they do something else they enjoy.

[zenith arch]

Is the expedition on console?

[runic crescent]

i think expeditions should be available whenever. instead of limited time.

[livid geyser]

ok cool i updated the thing but i cant get the robot parts

The mod isn’t working for me

[wraith venture]

not yet sadly

[zenith arch]

Bruh

[toxic mortar]

It's normal

[lone echo]

Did you delete the "disable mods" thingy in the game files?

[toxic mortar]

Especially switch

[livid geyser]

I think i just didnt update it correctly

[wraith venture]

i think that the existential "debate" about expeditions and fomo should move to #no-mans-sky. if you're here for questions about expeditions, you're in the right place. please check pins for tips

[fast ivy]

Does the expedition start on a random or set planet?

[zenith arch]

Set

[wraith venture]

expeditions all start in the same system, and same planet. as in each expedition has on its starting planet where all players begin.

[livid geyser]

I can’t seem to get the mod working

[wraith venture]

if you have issues with game mods, check #nms-modding

[bitter mirage]

Bro that sentinel multi tool on the starting planet was a steal

A class and everything, helped me a ton

[wraith venture]

[bitter mirage]

[honest shuttle]

it's a cool looking thing. too bad it's only on that expedition save I think..which kinda sucks because i never continue expedition saves after they're done.

[fast ivy]

Can you do quicksilver missions while playing the expedition?

[runic crescent]

no

[fast ivy]

So until the time lock is off once you get to that point you can't really do anything.

[zealous nest]

@bitter mirage do you have the cords to the facility with the tool?

[lone echo]

It worked for me but it seems only the head is dyable

[bitter mirage]

It was by the sentinel camp, exactly where I spawned first in the expedition so I can’t give an exact coordinate, but it’s on the starting planet, that’s all the info I have unfortunately

[zealous nest]

@bitter mirage appreciate it

[bitter mirage]

[honest shuttle]

it's where everyone spawns, you gotta do some math stuff to unlock it.

[fast ivy]

I am waiting for it to upload on switch is it like all expeditions you start with random tool and ship.

[gloomy grove]

a-pose

[fringe agate]

They are imitating the pattern

[runic crescent]

lmao

nada sees all

[wraith venture]

yeah, all the expeditions start like that, this shouldn't be much different. thankfully this expedition lasts a month so us console players will have enough time to work on it even if we're still waiting for the update

[gloomy grove]

uhhh, what resonance amplifier?

it ain't showing up in my installable techs

[fast ivy]

Hoping it comes out soon on the switch

[tribal gull]

You get it after completing the nada polo line of milestones

up till the one that is uncompletable

[gloomy grove]

oh. well guess i'm waiting 5 minutes

[tribal gull]

Do the other randevous things

[gloomy grove]

i have them all

[tribal gull]

Pilgrimage

[gloomy grove]

i gotta get a crystalized heart

[brazen hearth]

must have missed something. No harmonic seal reciepe at the camp???

[runic crescent]

:D

[tribal gull]

do the autophage puzzle

assuming you meant hermetic seal

[brazen hearth]

yes. and I did the puzzle. no seal - what have I missed?

[tribal gull]

You get the blueprint

wait what

Did you claim it?

[brazen hearth]

how do you claim it? (As you probably guessed I'm new at this)

[tribal gull]

Press escape, go to expedition, phase 1, and click the one it says you can

[brazen hearth]

nope. Nothing to claim. I solved two puzzles at the camp. Do not seem to have the seal blueprints though.

[broken idol]

I have an issue

[grim burrow]

what does 'We do not need you glass' mean?

[tribal gull]

They didnt accept the sentinels glass.

[fast ivy]

Do you get a base computer in this expedition.

[gloomy grove]

yeah

[tribal gull]

Yes

[gloomy grove]

you don't need it though

[grim burrow]

that's cryptic

[broken idol]

Anyone know why it is invisible ?

[tribal gull]

Oh

There are unique dialogue from anomaly characters in this

or just tethys

Kinda wish we got another sentinel egg

With a spider

Robot lore is so cool in this game

[cerulean fox]

can you no longer get twitch drop rewards on an expedition?

[gloomy grove]

i imagine the construct sounds like a cephalon from warframe

[grim burrow]

the 2nd mission on each phase on the expedition has some random numbers in their descrption and you if you translate these it comes as 'We do not need you glass'

[tight verge]

is expedition 10 out? I'm not seeing it appear in the mode select.

[cerulean fox]

it is

[hollow drift]

you need to activate your scanner in the vicinity of that marker

[broken idol]

yeah I realised it later, thank you.

[hollow drift]

oop

[tribal gull]

I dont think it is for console.

[tight verge]

Would microsoft store/game pass count as console?

Im using pc game pass

[tribal gull]

I dont know

[fast ivy]

It's not on console yet sadly.

[tight verge]

im going to assume that pc game pass counts as console then

[scenic current]

Yep. Sad on my PS5 and fucking Switch. Wahhhh

[fast ivy]

Hopefully tonight

[sinful slate]

how fast can you speedrun this new expedition?

[scenic current]

And to think, I hooked shit back up to fire it up after I got bored with Interceptor. LOL

[sly gate]

Expedition is broken for me I think on the Sentience Echoes step, not matter how many Echo Seeds I feed to the Prime Terminal the percentage won't go up

[fast ivy]

I think that's community based so it's gonna need everyone to do it.

[hollow drift]

Yeah can't speedrun until that gets sorted out

[sly gate]

Oh well that explains that, still a little anti climatic.. Mixed feelings on this Expedition

[gloomy grove]

i'm almost done and i got started not even 5 hours ago

[hollow drift]

oop forgot my nitro ran out

[sinful slate]

when did you start it?

[gloomy grove]

not even 5 hours ago

i just said

[sinful slate]

ah that's a pretty long time

some expeditions can be done in like an hour

[sly gate]

For those who are at the end is the Sentience Threshold Progress at 0% still?

[hollow drift]

yeah it's the community part 😔

[sly gate]

I've handed in like 20 which means it's gonna takes ages

Lame..

[gloomy grove]

me when the NMS community takes their sweet ass time:

[sinful slate]

what is that community thing you guys are talking about?

havent done the expedition yet

[gloomy grove]

for the end you have to collect echo seeds from sentience echoes to like, power up something

[hollow drift]

I threw in like 30 of those and closed the game until tomorrow : ]

[gloomy grove]

i'm not entirely sure

[hollow drift]

Hoping we at least get to stage one I want my character to be a cool robot !

that actually looks like a robot and not like a spacesuit with a computer smacked in the neck

(I'm sorry to all korvax enjoyers)

[gloomy grove]

(i will korvax with robot body >:))

[hollow drift]

!!! !!

Finally,
Actual robot korvax

[sly gate]

The robot does look dope tbf

[cursive orchid]

So is it confirmed to be a community thing and not just broken? It feels awful to no be able to continue right now

[gloomy grove]

what are these echo collectives for?

[sly gate]

Rereading the patch notes it's 100% a community thing

"Nada and Polo will be there to support and assist Travellers with the assembly of a robotic Construct, and with a communal goal that may shape the future of the universe…"

[cursive orchid]

Dang, that sucks

[gloomy grove]

ok this seed of hope is by scanning the last piece, right?

i WANT MY CRIMSON HELMET

[fast ivy]

If it comes out on console soon the time game will probably move faster.

[gloomy grove]

i hope

i wonder if pc players are just uber lazy

[sly gate]

at least you can unlock the new helmet for now, that's something

[gloomy grove]

the cool crimson helmet

[unkempt igloo]

Am I correct to assume that some people haven't gotten the update, yet? Or am I specifically excluded from it just because?

[gloomy grove]

i'm assuming this determines which helmet i get?

[sly gate]

I think so yeah

[gloomy grove]

you picked ||seed of hope||, right?

[radiant lotus]

Only steam has it consoles come later

[sly gate]

yup

[gloomy grove]

you got the ||crimson helmet||?

well yeah obviously lmao

you posted a screenshot

[sly gate]

the helmet in my pic ye

[cursive orchid]

When should consoles get this? Also we've officially hit 1%

[light thistle]

Probably tomorrow

[gloomy grove]

wait a second, how am i supposed to get the helmet if the milestone for the ||seed of hope|| isn't letting me claim the reward?

[sly gate]

go to the quicksilver guy

[gloomy grove]

yeah but

there's supposed to be a reward to claim for that milestone, right?

[unkempt igloo]

Release log is a bit misleading as it lists only PC & Mac. I'm on Game pass PC, btw, & it has not been updated.

[trail iron]

First step seems to be broken. I can't figure out how to progress explore the camp

[gloomy grove]

it's definitely not broken

[sly gate]

it would never let me pick it up but when i went to the quicksilver guy i could grab it

[sly gate]

scan the first camp

[craggy sun]

At least you can play the expedition

something to look forward to in the coming days at least

[gloomy grove]

yeah that's what it is

[trail iron]

im opening my visor and getting nothign

[chrome garnet]

Not Visor, Scanner

[sly gate]

I'm on controller but I used the C scan or the clicking the left stick in

[fast ivy]

You only get one of the two?

[sly gate]

Honestly it's probably better to wait anyway, just when it starts to get going you have the community research

[trail iron]

thanks. That's a fucking irritating step. I'd already "downloaded" from both autophage and console

[gloomy grove]

yeah...

[fast ivy]

Does it give a hint so you don't accidentally pick wrong one.

[sly gate]

np i got stuck for a sec myself honestly

[gloomy grove]

nope

but you could make some strong inferred guesses!

[sly gate]

it kinda does but it's vague

[craggy sun]

I wonder if you can do the expedition twice to unlock both

[sly gate]

all it said for me was an option to reconsider

[fast ivy]

Because I want this one

[gloomy grove]

atlas = crimson, related color
atlantideum = you could probably guess from the screenshot

[craggy sun]

I think I prefer the atlas version but I still want both

[gloomy grove]

the atlas version looks great, kinda reminds me of the broker gek head

[fast ivy]

Is the Atlas one the one I posted in the Spoiler

[gloomy grove]

this is highlighted showing pending rewards but there's nothing to collect

[gloomy grove]

let me answer that with a question: out of everything you see of the atlas, is atlas purple?

[fast ivy]

Nope

[gloomy grove]

that's the atlantideum helmet :)

[cosmic harness]

pretty sure everyone has this issue, including me

[sly gate]

It's a shame that this is the only decoration we get, would have liked different versions of the crystals

[gloomy grove]

but we did get the other variations of crystals

i saw it when i claimed the reward

although the sentinel is funny

apparently 10 echo seeds = 1% to "ignite a convergence"

i need to get 1000 echo seeds? are you kidding me?

[blissful gust]

Just started the Expedition, and there;s already at least 4 comm balls at my starting point

Yes, Multiplayer is disabled

[gloomy grove]

trust me, there will be WAY more

[blissful gust]

I know, I filed a bug on it once

[gloomy grove]

there are easily over a 100 total messages across each rendezvous

[sly gate]

yuuuuup

i hope that guest book idea gets introduced or just give me the notebook feature from minecraft

[gloomy grove]

do it the elden ring way and require the user to interact instead of it just showing up on my screen

the text is huge too, which is super invasive

[cosmic harness]

holy yes

also make the comm balls smaller

they take up too much space

[gloomy grove]

overall it's just a very inconvenient feature

my inventory is bursting at the seams, i feel like i should just sell everything

for some reason one of the milestone rewards is a stasis device?

[fast ivy]

If you play the expedition twice can you unlock both helmets on main save

[spare halo]

Pro tip. More than one of those sentience echo crystals can be revealed by repeating the scan at the spot

I just got 3 from one location

[wraith venture]

You can just do it once All main phase rewards are cross-save (to all of your saves) I have to research this further. Hopefully someone else here has an answer in the meantime.

Assuming you're referring to a phase reward ofc

[dark cliff]

This is my first expedition. When it is over it says you can have the option to convert it to a normal game.
Does that mean you start over at a Radiant Pillar crash site and go through the tutorial or does it mean you are just set loose with whatever you happen to have at the end of the expedition?

[spare halo]

The helmet is a 2 way choice. Either atlantid or crimson helmet

[wraith venture]

Nah, nothing gets reset. You can just do the main questlines like in a regular Normal save. But you don't really do the beginning tutorial

You're just "set loose" as you said

[wraith venture]

Oh from a specific phase tho you can only choose one? Omg. So you do have to run it twice to unlock both?

[wraith venture]

I'm unclear now about this helmet option. Sorry I spoke too soon.

[gloomy grove]

you can only unlock one or the other

it's a choice, it asks you if you're sure

obviously they don't want you having both lol

[sly gate]

Yeah you either get to choose one helmet or another, idk if I can run another Expedition so I'll probably just save edit it in or something

[gloomy grove]

boring

save editing is for fools!

[wraith venture]

@hollow shore or @remote thunder do you know about this reward. do folks have to essentially run the expo twice to unlock bot helmets them? would that work?

[gloomy grove]

you have five weeks to do the expedition again, im sure you'll find the courage within that time span to get the other helmet

[fringe agate]

What is your problem?

[sly gate]

I would have dropped this game if it weren't for save editing tbf, I can't deal with fomo stuff in games

[wraith venture]

Opinions. Everyone's entitled to one. Toxicity is what's for fools.

[sly gate]

Of course play how you want to but just my opinion

[fringe agate]

@gloomy grove If you continue to insult and demean people, you will be gone

[wraith venture]

You were warned about this already. Perhaps it's time for a timed mute

[runic crescent]

its not so much that its 5 weeks its more so that there is a time gated thing in this expedition. its new for expeditions

[fringe agate]

Here is something from @tribal gull

Also real tip to remember: Save before you give the spider dude your final core so you can get both helmets fast addendum: after you give him both options you claim directly from the expedition store, not the milestone (as of this message at least).
Note This may not be required for your other saves (besides this expedition save) to get access to both heads.

I haven't had a chance to play, so I cannot verify

[topaz brook]

wait, how many cores do you have to give it?

[whole seal]

The downed Sentinel ship does not have the typical items you can take - how are you, then, supposed to get a Harmonic Brain?? There's not the Dissonant Brain or whatever to examine which points out a monument...

[hollow shore]

They are expedition rewards, which are stored with the account, so I don't see why you would not be able to get both, after doing another run

[spare halo]

It appears that each of those spots has 3 echo crystals hiding

[wraith venture]

Ty, Dev! @fast ivy In case this helps! Also this (above): #nms-expedition message

[fast ivy]

Thanks

[trail iron]

I'd guess it's a multiplayer issue and someone has taken them before you got there

[topaz brook]

notice the double lines on it in the build menu? click that

[spare halo]

This works. Or just saving before claiming the first helmet, reloading and claiming the second one afterwards, similar to the QS trick

[sly gate]

lemmie check

oh there's an update

bad timing

[tribal gull]

There are only 2

[sly gate]

it's 200mb so just some bug fixes

i imagine

[tribal gull]

You get a choice between 2 helmets basically

But if you save beforehand you can give him one, reload the save, and give him the other one

Keep in mind I play steam PC

[silk hemlock]

Has the other platform updates released yet?

[fringe agate]

And that unlocks both for your main non expedition save?

[tribal gull]

Thats how it worked for me

[topaz brook]

yeah, ended up figuring that out, but was unable to claim rewards either time

[fringe agate]

Sweet

[silk hemlock]

Haven't looked at the logs recently

[tribal gull]

tested it on the basis its a save based thing, so even if you reloaded a previous save you'd still have the helmet you chose first

[fringe agate]

Steam and GoG so far

[tribal gull]

Woah what?

I did the glitch and then claimed both at the same time

[cedar zodiac]

My system isn't updating. It still thinks inceptor is the latest patch. Suggestions?

[tribal gull]

not from the quest

You dont have to claim them from the milestone btw

[topaz brook]

the last three milestones are still encrypted even when completed, and can't be claimed

huh?

[mellow burrow]

apologies if this is super out of left field, but is this peaceful gek nmsloki thing just an art or is there something at those planetary coordinates

[tribal gull]

They're just in the expedition shop afterwards

[gloomy grove]

the last two are the helmets (of which you should only have one), and the one right next to those two i'm not entirely sure about

[topaz brook]

oh, funky

[tribal gull]

yeah

Now that I think about it why is it like that

Ohhh I think I know why

[topaz brook]

HG probably intended for milestone 6 and the diverging choice to become available after the CG milestone, would be my guess

[tribal gull]

Lemme know if you got them

[topaz brook]

but the game logic behind that must be flawed (but still preventing the milestone from being truly finished, despite completing

and yeah they did show in the shop

[scenic current]

Ugh. Let the consoles in!!! LOL

[gloomy grove]

totally not a bug

[tribal gull]

get it while its unpatched aha

[eternal forge]

Is sentience echo progressing for you guys? (phase 5 expedition mission)

[tribal gull]

last I was on it was still 0%

[sly gate]

ok so

[topaz brook]

last I saw, it was still at 0

[sly gate]

quick question

how long have varients been in the game

[topaz brook]

since Freighters update

or whatever it was called

[sly gate]

good god

[topaz brook]

waypoint?

[sly gate]

i'm stupid

[topaz brook]

anyway yeah you can do variants of basically any object that had auto-variance before

[sly gate]

THERE ARE DIFFERENT WALLS

[topaz brook]

it's a bit of a hidden feature

[topaz brook]

yeah, used to get super annoyed at the "top wall" variant for wood since it just had holes in it

[tribal gull]

So addendum to this, after you give him both options, you claim directly from the expedition store, not the milestone (as of this message at least).

[eternal forge]

oh so it's like a community goal for all players

[topaz brook]

yeah

[fringe agate]

Thanks

[astral crag]

So, regarding the part of the expedition where you have to charge that thingy with the echo seeds, is it normal that after 12 seeds it's still 0%?

[sly gate]

Is this the first decoration or have variants?

I haven't missed that much if it's the case

[trail iron]

These are building questions no? Variants have been with us for about 4 or more updates

[gloomy grove]

yes definitely

you will need a lot of echo seeds, likely over 1000 or so(?)
can't be too sure

[tribal gull]

wait is that confirmed

[gloomy grove]

nope

[tribal gull]

I was about to say

[gloomy grove]

just did some very basic head math

quick*

i got 10 seeds and it ticked up to 1%

so...

[tribal gull]

mine didnt move at all even after 20

Oh great heavens

[gloomy grove]

mmm

you think it varies?

[tribal gull]

gonna check if its a community thing

[astral crag]

That is... Bad...

[light thistle]

It community goal

[gloomy grove]

istg if it varies person to person...

[gloomy grove]

that's for the other one

this is the sentience echo milestone were talking about

[astral crag]

What if it's a low % for it to up it by 1% or sumthing

[light thistle]

I put over 100 in. If it ain't a community goal there something wrong

[gloomy grove]

hello games please help

[astral crag]

So basically no one has finished the expedition?

[eternal forge]

on my end I'm still stuck on that seed part of part 5

[gloomy grove]

absolutely nobody has finished the expedition legitimately

[tribal gull]

Sentience echo is the "community" one

[gloomy grove]

what?

what about the anomalous one

with the exact same requirements lmao

[eternal forge]

So there's two different progressions?

[gloomy grove]

apparently

[astral crag]

Ye

[tribal gull]

I dont know what that one is

[astral crag]

2 quests in log, both almost identical

[gloomy grove]

yup

[tribal gull]

Sentience echo is the last one I needed to do, and I dont remember doing a collection quest other than that one

and the lubrication

[astral crag]

One community, other for the part 5 3rd quest I believe

[gloomy grove]

needed past tense? you've finished sentience echo?

[tribal gull]

God I hate lubricant

[astral crag]

Lubrication is very nice 😉

Lel

[fringe agate]

Wizard of Oz expedition

[tribal gull]

This is weird

[gloomy grove]

crimson magic

[fringe agate]

Gotta get a brain, lube up the tin man

[tribal gull]

It says 1% on tier 1

but it says Echo upload progress at 0%

[fringe agate]

Is there a lion at any point?

[gloomy grove]

i've since reloaded the game and i'm gonna check now what's happened

[astral crag]

How I understood it, to complete the quest we need 19%

[gloomy grove]

why 19%?

[astral crag]

To upgrade it to Tier 2, it's mentioned in the quest

[tribal gull]

"Next collective sentience threshold in 19%"

[gloomy grove]

oh

[wraith venture]

Oh interesting, we've sene discrepancies in past expos depending on community tier progress

[gloomy grove]

190 seeds then

[tribal gull]

maybe I will grind a bit

[gloomy grove]

(or something like that)

[topaz brook]

that's not how it works

[gloomy grove]

(or something like that)

[topaz brook]

it's a collective thing

[astral crag]

I don't think it's that simple, told you I used more than 10 and it's still 0

[topaz brook]

by all means, collect and submit 190 seeds, but don't be disappointed when that doesn't advance it enough

[astral crag]

Or at all

XD

[topaz brook]

^

[gloomy grove]

why would one of the milestones for phase 5 be community driven? isn't that the other mission? anomalous research?

[astral crag]

Sean!!!!!! We need answers!!!!! XD

[topaz brook]

i dunno why, but it is, so

[gloomy grove]

i'm confused about the echo collective too

it has a percentage progress in its description but i only get one

[unkempt kraken]

[light thistle]

Being at 5/6 on phase 5 just because someone thought community was a good idea is a pain. Just have it finish after the 2nd or make it optional

[gloomy grove]

gimme muh robot body

[eternal forge]

how do you unlock the optional quest on phase 5

[wind locust]

Wasn't there a bug in a previous expedition for a few days that wouldn't allow people to collect the final reward until the optional community milestone was completed?

[gloomy grove]

give the construct a special thing

[light thistle]

Yeah I can't claim the reward for doing so but it counts as completed

[gloomy grove]

i believe the ignited milestone is just extra verification that you gave the thing to the construct

sean, i am || || || |_, what is this last milestone?!

[light thistle]

Probably to just give the robot something so you actually complete the expedition with a head

[nova merlin]

How tough is it to get the brain for the interceptor in the expedition? I’ve got several of each part aside from that

[gloomy grove]

man i wanted to go try out yomi hustle but here hello games goes releasing an expedition on the day i was gonna buy it

tomorrow it is...

[eternal forge]

I'm 1/2 on optional idk what the 2nd one is

[gloomy grove]

2nd one is the other helmet

you can only have one or the other

suppposed to only have one or the other

[eternal forge]

So basically, I'll now grind for echo seeds to complete the expedition?

[gloomy grove]

basically

[runic crescent]

oh i get what the community thing is for. its to unlock each of the robot parts im guessing

[eternal forge]

Okay thanks!!

[gloomy grove]

body, armor(?), arms, legs... backpack? that's not five is it?

oh the boots too

[round wing]

can somebody please help me I am stuck in expedition 5 sentinel echo I do not understand what do I need to do

[light thistle]

Robot parts are from expedition completion

[runic crescent]

we cant even complete it tho

no one can...

[gloomy grove]

trust me, we all don't know

give it a few days, hello games will say something

[runic crescent]

because they thought adding a time gated thing was a good idea :(

[gloomy grove]

lmao

[rapid elk]

When I offer echo seeds to the prime terminal the echo collective’s sentience threshold is staying at 0%. Is there anything I’m supposed to do before that or am I doing something wrong?

[round wing]

okay but how do we unlock the sixth optional Quest do we at least know that
😢

[light thistle]

You dont

[gloomy grove]

you aren't doing anything wrong, the expedition just sucks like that for now

[rapid elk]

Oml

That sucks

[round wing]

lol

[gloomy grove]

it's one or the other

no both

[light thistle]

Unless you have a save before you decide

[round wing]

so I cannot complete both optionals lol

but I have no idea what did I even completed

[light thistle]

Yeah

We have to wait to see what they called

The last non optionl objective called ignition

[dry thicket]

So I seem to have completed objectives that are still encrypted... I can't claim Ignition

[wraith venture]

Someone mentioned a glitch for it. To get both. Haven't verified tho

[gloomy grove]

you get a helmet for giving the construct either the seed or the atlantideum

[dry thicket]

Hoping I havn't ruined my run.. would hate to have to restart 😦

[gloomy grove]

lubricant...

[light thistle]

How tf has someone grown up and survived long enough to get a job and decide to time gate a expedition completion.

Literally unplayable offline

[shadow knoll]

aint no way

[gloomy grove]

ain't no way at all

[wraith venture]

Offline? Expeditions have always had an Online requirement, for the record.

[light thistle]

If you was to start online yes but if you was on steak deck and loaded the save you can still play though it.

[naive prism]

i often play expeditions with multiplayer disabled, if that's what you mean

[gloomy grove]

i hope echo seed progress still tracks with multiplayer disabled

[wraith venture]

Steam* Deck also has an Online requirement. Even Switch, which has no MP.

[gloomy grove]

lol

[shadow knoll]

welp, looks like I'll go play other games until this completes

[dry thicket]

So am I to believe that once the echos thing hits 19%, these objectives will decrypt so I can claim them?

[gloomy grove]

i'm not sure if they decrypt but you can claim them while they aren't

but only one or the other

[round wing]

you know what I do surrender I donated 34 Echo seed and didn't even move one percent 😭 I'm sorry everyone I failed you

[dry thicket]

Can't claim the expedition task rewards for them, but the helmet is there on the rewards guy. Guess that's the case, I'll check back on it later.

[naive prism]

ok so how does this work? i dropped a few echoes at nada's terminal, but that doesn't trigger Sentience Echo (milestone 5-3) , correct?

[gloomy grove]

yes

you need a lot more

[dry thicket]

It's going to require a lot of people to do it too. Assuming it doesn't do a daily refresh thing >.>

[naive prism]

and you can pick up only 1 per planet/system? or can you get multiple at the same time?

[gloomy grove]

there are multiple per corrupted planet

[naive prism]

just far apart then, or do you just need to get lucky? after i collected one, i couldn't find any more in 1000u distance

[dry thicket]

I remember the previous progress based ones in one of the other objectives seemed to jump in progress at times during the day

[dry thicket]

I found three together in one spot... other spots just the one.

[gloomy grove]

it helps to fly around to different parts of the planet

[naive prism]

welp, i'll continue tomorrow then :(

gg

[round wing]

lucky you guys I need to go to extra work so see you in three weeks if I come back and see it's still on 0 I'm going to bury my head in the toilet I'll ask my brother to do this for me doubt he will but it's worth of try

[naive prism]

there's always the save editor 😉

[round wing]

lol

[naive prism]

do we know what the next encrypted milestone is after sentient echo?

[naive prism]

btw, is this the big progress bar? or how many are we talking about (fixed number?)

[round wing]

if I knew how to use that and if it was possible I would unlock myself all the expedition I missed. that would be amazing

@naive prism

[naive prism]

ask in #nms-modding, they know the deal :)

[gloomy grove]

no clue how many, but i gave it 10 and it went up a percent. 1000? maybe?

[brazen hearth]

I solved the puzzles in the camp, but do not seem to have the hemertic seal and cannot interact with the broken droid anymore. ideas?

[naive prism]

back to grinding 8 hours straight again i suppose....

anyway, gg, gn, gl

[dusty pecan]

it might even have a per player daily cap

like leviathan expedition optional objective had
