nms-expedition

[unique glen]

Ohhhh! Nice

[frosty pine]

Depends on the country you are at tho

[lime plume]

Assuming this person in particular is Spanish.

[frosty pine]

Depends on the country you are at

[unique glen]

So here’s what the base looks like from above:

[frosty pine]

It means something in Argentina and something different in Chile

[unique glen]

And it has a LONNNNNG patch that leads to another base on top of a trading post or whatever it’s called

Pretty freakin’ impressive!

But that’s all she wrote! I had a blast, even though I achieved absolutely nothing. 😂

[lime plume]

What does it mean in those other two countries?

[frosty pine]

In argentina it does indeed mean spikes

[radiant lotus]

I got translation of “peaks”

[frosty pine]

In Chile they use it for men's privates

[unique glen]

I get it. “Spikes” LOL like screwers

Anywho! I’m so sorry I brought everyone off topic, but I’m all done with my adventure for tonight and just wanted to thank you all so kindly for being so awesome assisting and joining me in this mystery.

[radiant lotus]

Hey no problem it was a good time

[unique glen]

I told people that the NMS Discord is the BEST most helpful and intelligent gaming community I’ve ever encountered. Never had a bad experience. Y’all are so awesome.

[radiant lotus]

I’m new here and didn’t talk to anyone until today

[unique glen]

Oh nice! Feel free to add me, I joined a few months back, but it’s been awhile since I’ve been back

[lime plume]

Found a ship that isn't a sentience ship for once, tho its junk.

[radiant lotus]

I think it’s time for me to actually sleep now 🤣

The suns coming up oops

Have fun on expedition and I’ll be joining you guys soon enough

[unique glen]

That’s funny, I’m headed for bed and it’s 8pm here 😂

Sleep well! Have fun guys and gals!

[still slate]

Has anybody else not been able to enter the Atlas?

with the construct?

[earnest furnace]

12 save beacons later found my one haha

[fast yarrow]

im on phaze 4 needing to speak with the atlas but i cant find it, it doesnt show up in the galacic map

[earnest furnace]

It shows as current misson

Here she is

[fast yarrow]

its giving me a system without the atlas

i have the altas one selected tho

[lime plume]

Well, I gave the robot one of the things. And since I don't wanna bug out the milestone, guess it's time to do it again and give it the other one.

[west zealot]

Soo is the expedition hosed on NMS: Experimental? It keeps telling me the expedition is over

[frosty pine]

I just went to ship hunt mine 😂

[earnest furnace]

😂

[vivid stream]

that'll take bit long

so the universal progression for echo souls are now broken

[frosty pine]

How so?

[worldly cargo]

yeah it's broken for me too

it's broken in game but the website says 36%

[frosty pine]

The discovery service died so it may have something to do with that 😂

[worldly cargo]

so since servers are down should I not dump my seeds rn?

[wraith bough]

Is that why my phase 5 stage 3 isn't updating when I slip em the seed?

[frosty pine]

It may be

But hey, lets see the bright side. Now i don't need to see markers and bases everywhere 😂

[wraith bough]

😄 I've handed in 3 or 4 and that part won't update. Wasn't sure if I had to do a bunch or just one to complete it

[steep bough]

3-4?! I just uploaded 26!!! I really hope they still counted

[wraith bough]

But did that stage update for you?

[steep bough]

No, it says percentage unknown, next collective sentience threshold in Unknown

[wraith bough]

Ah okay, so it's intended it stays there?

[steep bough]

Yeah, ive tried restarting the game, switching to a different milestone and back, and no matter what it still says unknown

[ashen shore]

Discovery services seem to be down which that's connected to it seems

[wraith bough]

k, I'll hold off handing in more until it's back just in case

[steep bough]

Has discovery services ever been down before? hoping if it has been then we know a rough estimate of how long before it gets back up and running.

[ashen shore]

It used to go down all the time, I dont play super often now so I don't know how often it goes down recently

You can see the status at the bottom of the discovery page

[shut sedge]

What’s the best way to find atlas for phase 1 part 5

[ashen shore]

the first one it gives you, you can just remember that system and jump back to it each time

What I'd do is go to each rendezvous, get the parts, craft them, then use the same atlas to show every piece

[shut sedge]

It’s not showing up for me :/

[ashen shore]

Have the milestone selected?

[steep bough]

Has anyone else noticed a problem with lag while hunting for echo seeds? My game was running at 120fps until I started hunting for echo seeds and now it seems like the lag doesn't go down again until I restart the game. Task manager says my memory goes way too high so maybe a memory leak?

[frosty pine]

I would need to try echo farming to see. Because now NMS is using less CPU and RAM than chrome 😂

[steep bough]

I mean NMS was never THAT bad with memory. when the game first came out, it ran pretty well on a dell laptop with GTX860M and 8 Gigs of RAM

[wraith bough]

Wow... 4 echos at this spot.. nice

[frank scaffold]

how's the % going

[frosty pine]

#bot-spam message

[vital spire]

I got another echo seed on my first try-

I have reached the 5th phase!

[wraith bough]

nice 🙂

[vital spire]

||Now I have to choose between the corrupted or the atlas helmet||

[wraith bough]

mine won't update to that point

[lime plume]

Doesn't really need to update, just talk to the construct. If you have no more seeds you will get the prompt.

[wraith bough]

I did, still get the lost message

[lime plume]

Did you make the last seed and the reactor?

[wraith bough]

That's where mine is sitting, handed in 4 or 5 seeds

[frosty pine]

That's the community milestone

[lime plume]

Odd. It let me hand one in anyways.

[wraith bough]

Yeah I can hand them in, it just doesn't do anything 😄 Construct is still lost. I'll try tomorrow or next patch

[lime plume]

Did you hand all of them in tho?

[marsh pagoda]

if you guys are stuck on 4/6, talk to the new robot after getting the seed of hope/atlantid reactor, thats how you get one of the new heads

[lime plume]

It prompted for me after I had both and turned in all of the lost seeds I had on hand.

I had 2, and after I turned in both, another prompt gave me the choice.

[steep bough]

did yours say echo upload progress at unknown?

Reason I'm asking is cause i have 35 echo seeds in my inventory so if i dump them all and it doesnt work thats a lot of effort wasted

[lime plume]

There's no reason to hoard the lost seeds anyways, but no, I didn't check.

Granted I couldn't claim the helmet from the milestone, but I could claim it from my expedition rewards.

The milestones were still glitched out for me.

I accidentally bugged my settlement quest by visiting someone else's, lol.

[honest inlet]

Well, at least I can equip the head piece now and there are some comsetics that make you look robot-like

[steep bough]

Well i can accurately say it didnt work for me. are you sure you didnt unlock it before the ODS went down?

[lime plume]

ODS?

[frosty pine]

discovery service

[lime plume]

Oh, I have no idea.

I did make a second expedition tho, so I will try again later and test to see if I get the prompt after the ODS is down, just give me like half a day, lol.

[static mesa]

So I got rid of my seeds at the simulator

I had 12

Some duped, some legit

No prompt change, still stuck on 7

7% convergence

[bronze crater]

Its a community milestone

[steep bough]

yeah,at this point its safe to assume that milestone will be impossible to complete until that server comes back online. keep an eye on the discovery page in the menu. when the loading circle on the bottom left corner goes away, we can try again. Ive been waiting since 11pm and its currently almost 2am so something tells me its not going to be fixed tonight.

[native bloom]

It's almost 7am for HG

[static mesa]

Where are you getting a loading circle?

My ODS is green

Only real lag obesity had is getting into the space anomaly

Blinding white light n such

[frosty pine]

Maybe platform dependant

[steep bough]

@static mesa are you playing through steam?

[static mesa]

Nah

Xbox

[worldly cargo]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@worldly cargo Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[worldly cargo]

Wenk

[foggy steppe]

Anyone have any launch thruster fuel or uranium?

[lime plume]

You can make launch fuel easily, just need ferrite dust and di-hydrogen.

Need 50 ferrite dust for metal plating, then 40 di-hydrogen to make.

[tawny wharf]

Mine says that

[lime plume]

Pretty sure yes, you do start with the blueprint for it.

[frank scaffold]

same

[long kettle]

Servers are down

[pallid bone]

uploads at unknown

[long kettle]

i can't start expedition right now

[tawny wharf]

Steam severs are fine on west coast

[vital spire]

How many echo seeds do we need?

[bronze crater]

Yes

[vital spire]

Elaborate-

[bronze crater]

We dont know the exact number, but more than you think

[native bloom]

No one knows, or even if there is a fixed number

[vital spire]

Ah

[bronze crater]

In theory there should.🤔

[native bloom]

In theory, but it's just a theory. It could just be set up with the appearance of that, or they may be able to adjust the numbers as things progress

[vital spire]

Well do we know how many we need to ignite an convergence?

[twilit hound]

how did you get that...? i thought everybody had to wait for that stupid comunity event to be over to finish the event?

[mint glacier]

btw, what are the N U M B E R S at?

[bronze crater]

Save editor

[native bloom]

Save editing, modding, or a bug that existed in early builds

[twilit hound]

so it doesnt work for the real game?

[vital spire]

That or he got it before the update fix dropped

[honest inlet]

Nope it was a bug

I got it before the update dropped.

[vital spire]

Nice

[bronze crater]

Not anymore apperently

[bronze crater]

Ah thx

[honest inlet]

I was trying to figure out what I was suppose to do, went to the Alantaida to see if I could interact with them, low and behold I could turn in almost all the parts to them

[vital spire]

I will deposit as many echo seeds I can if it means I can get the helmets-

[honest inlet]

But I couldn't and still can't "claim" them through the Expedition, they just appeared in my options for Anomaly

Actually you can find my posts from last night when I was trying to figure out what I was suppose to do next and thought I broke my save when I turned in all the parts

[vital spire]

Speaking of which, I should make the final part

Also how do we check the progress?

[frank scaffold]

how's everyone doing?

[earnest furnace]

Soooo this just happened 🤷🏼🤦🏼

[mint glacier]

as in the robot parts? i still have them in my ship inventory for some reason... also, yes i did have them in my ship inventory for most of the expedition, and no i am not sure if that broke the expedition on my end.

[honest inlet]

There should be two log entries you can look at with Community Tiers? Thats our means to figure out when we unlock things

[vital spire]

Nope not there-

[honest inlet]

Yeah, same for me, I was able to turn them in and it was like "You chose to keep them as robots" instead of choosing the Atlas option so now I have a broken Expedition rewards but I can access them through character creation

Just to note, the items didn't disappear either when I gave them to the robot

[west island]

how is going community milestone

[vital spire]

Can someone tell me the %-

[mint glacier]

oh, i have not gotten to that part yet, because i started the expedition AFTER the patch that fixed the community milestone...

[honest inlet]

Yeah, I got to that part before it, so everything is screwed up for me because I was stumbling along still comprehending "Oh its locked behind Community Progress"

[west island]

i'll check rn

[honest inlet]

Someone said on Reddit I wont be able to get the Atlas Head now because of what I did unfortunately; no idea how they know that or the claims behind it. Doesn't really matter with me anyways, I'm against the Atlas on my saves

[vital spire]

Thanks

[vital spire]

Welp, looks like you need to do another save file

[honest inlet]

I am not doing this Expedition over again

[earnest furnace]

I’ve had to as i royally messed my previous up

[mint glacier]

now that is a very big oof moment. i guess the rest of us might as well try to get the milestone to get the heads legit...

[vital spire]

Welp, we kinda have to do it anyways to get both helmets legitimately lol

[earnest furnace]

Although I’m not gonna do the helmet option yet

[honest inlet]

It sucks too, I wasn't sure what I was suppose to do, went to the robot NPC and it was like "Give the legs, arms, head, and motor" in that order for dialogue options was like "oh this is what I HAVE to do"

[vital spire]

Same

[mint glacier]

or at least try to get the helmets, considering the time limit of 5 weeks and the dreadfully slow percentage gain...

[honest inlet]

Ok, so, this is just me, I did do it legitmately, I just didnt know what I was doing and was given options and said "yes" without knowing what I was doing.

[earnest furnace]

Technically o have them but for this not gonna risk it

[west island]

they didnt show it

[vital spire]

So we have not been shown the %-

[west island]

yea idk why xD

[frosty pine]

It's broken right now

It was showing a few hours ago

[mint glacier]

btw, do we have any info about there being a chance that turning in seeds when multiplayer is off causes the seeds to not count or something? i ask because i refuse to believe the progress is THIS slow...

[honest inlet]

Here, you can follow my posts from this point forward and realize I fucked up because I wasn't suppose to give those items to the robot but it prompted me to

#nms-expedition message

[vital spire]

They might just have to increase the time because how slow this shit is going

[gray plover]

hi, anyone has any clue how i find a atlas construct? i cant see in on my map anymore im Phase 4

[honest inlet]

That I'm not sure of, in previous Community Events playing "Singleplayer" and doing the Community Events still counted last I heard.

[west island]

is there any secret rewards except milestone rewards ?

[vital spire]

Either go to polo or just select the atlas station option

[honest inlet]

Well these Community Events have always been manipulated by Hello Games sadly. I remember a few Community Events were LARGE groups of players go together and GRINDED the hell out of the requirements and got to the very last Tier and Hello Games stepped in and went "Yeah, nah, slow down"

Now, for example, if we didn't do it at all, the prorgress would still move upwards automatically but at the very slowest and percise way so it would end on the last day completed.

Its fustrating so these days I think people lost motive to grind it because Hello Games will just make it even harder; I assume they're doing that now, now that Community Events are GAME wide meaning PC, Consoles, and Macs now all work on it together

[vital spire]

Yeah like just let us do fast

[frosty pine]

If they did that, expedition would be done in 1 day 😂

[gray plover]

i went to polo but he just says a set of dialogs thats all nothing to go with.

[vital spire]

Then go to an atlas station

[honest inlet]

I don't know how well we'll see it now that we're on our, what, 10th Expedition and Community Progress Event but we're in the weekend where most people are off from work or off from school so maybe you'll see it live - we'll get like 10% progress in two hours and then suddenly for the next three hours we'll only get 1% progress done for example; that's them increasing the requirements to drastically slow us down again

[blazing rapids]

So the feagments of a new atlantid have messages that can be decoded

[vital spire]

Try selecting the prayer V option, it will show the nearest atlas station

[frosty pine]

#nms-arg-2023

[gray plover]

yes did that too shows nothing

[subtle meadow]

hmm does anyone else have an issue where turning in an echo seed to Nada for phase 5 doesn't work

[vital spire]

Hmm weird

[mint glacier]

btw, i am guessing that because the ODS is partially down/not fully connecting, we should not turn in the seeds?

[frosty pine]

As soon as my ODS showed as "Connecting..." the % of the milestone stopped working

So unless you see the % showing up i wouldn't turn in any more seeds

[gray plover]

strange indeed, none of my missions r progressing

[vital spire]

Have you tried closing and opening the again?

[mint glacier]

yeah, that is what i was trying to say. thank you for confirming it.

[gray plover]

yup

[mint glacier]

also, my ODS status just went to green for a split second then back to connecting...

[vital spire]

Welp, I can't help now-

[gray plover]

went to other saves played on them for a bit then came back to it, still nothing

[frosty pine]

I just went to farm my S class freighter while we wait for ODS to work again 😂

[mint glacier]

good idea, if only i had the patience to farm an S class freighter lol

[frosty pine]

If you could just scan and see class from our ships, that would be great

[mint glacier]

you can, with the analysis visor...

[frosty pine]

i mean from inside our ship, right after the warp

without needing to get into the freighter

[honest inlet]

Huh, logged back onto my Expedition Character and I dont have the progress bars anymore

Man did they update, update earlier today? Because I woke up thismorning early to see the progress and I could still view the progress bars for both, now I can't see anything

[vital spire]

I got the BP for ||the seed or hope!||

I can also craft it right now

Should I?

[honest inlet]

That should hopefully be fine, I just had all the parts in my inventory and after Seed of Hope I was able to turn them all into the robot NPC even though there was no prompt or objective to do so (me trying to figure it out)

So, if they fixed it you should be fine, if they didn't avoid talking to the robot afterwards

[vital spire]

Hmm alright! Also what are the two optional milestones?

[honest inlet]

So you'll get a option if you want to feed it/give it the items from Atlas or the items from Nada. I don't think there's any drastic change, it's more like a flavor choice I think

I may actually have to restart the entire expedition on a new save, I can't even turn in Echo Seeds anymore; unless this too reolves around the servers and them not working?
Just grinded a bunch

[twilit hound]

how did you unlock the 2 optional..?

[vital spire]

I think it's by doing the community grind

[twilit hound]

yet the community grind isnt done.. so how did they get them unlocked?

[rigid tiger]

well there has to be a problem 6 hours of collecting seeds and then put them all in only to have nothing working and then I was booted

[honest inlet]

I did those portions prior to the update.
I got to Seed of Hope and couldn't do anything more and was stumbling in the dark basically. Went up to the robot we help build and was prompt to turn in everything to it, when I did I got those two portions done but couldn't get the rewards.
However, going into the Anomaly Character Creation I can choose the Alantida head part to use

[vital spire]

It was through a bug that the devs have patched

[twilit hound]

sounds like NMS

[vital spire]

Yep

[honest inlet]

Quite literally unintentional too, I was freaking out I had perma broke my Expedition; I still think I did to

[twilit hound]

i guess you can always do that long ass endless grind again

[vital spire]

Yep

[twilit hound]

but you may as well wait

you cant finish it anyways because of waiting on stupid community part

they may fix your crap before then

[vital spire]

It's fortunate that I have a summer break or I might just have not grinded at all

[honest inlet]

I can't see the Community Progress bars anymore either and I can't turn in Echo Seeds on this save either

read the last few words, isntead of saying what it was it now says "Unknown"

[twilit hound]

thats the planet called Unknown

[rigid tiger]

do you think that they will ever learn that community stuff maybe a bad choice for the life of this game

[vital spire]

We need to find unknown the planet

[honest inlet]

No? Read this bit, this is busted I'm pretty sure. Compare it to yours and give me a screen because I can't remember what it was

[twilit hound]

Joking

[twilit hound]

its NMS, its never that easy

[frosty pine]

It says Unkown for everyone

It's broken

[honest inlet]

REALLY? Well thats sorta good, does it show the progress bar for you guys anymore or was that removed too?

[twilit hound]

1 day

[steep bough]

Not necessarily a bad choice. Community goals can be fun. The bad choice is making said goal required to complete an expedition.

[twilit hound]

in a galaxy far, far away

[vital spire]

Eh, it can be fun if they you know, let us actually grind and not reset our progress because it was "too early"

[frosty pine]

Yea. The first "Unkown" should say "7%", and the second one should say "12%"

[twilit hound]

or, you know, they fix busted Living Ships that cant spawn the best colors with the best ships

[honest inlet]

Yeah, found my post from yesterday, they diffidently changed these two quests. Check it out and compare it to what I just posted now

#nms-expedition message

[twilit hound]

since i wasted 20 hours grinding to find them before i found out they left that bug in for years

[honest inlet]

Does it say that for yours? If so I'm royally fucked.

[frosty pine]

No

It should. But not now

[vital spire]

Quick question, did they add a new quest with this expedition?

[honest inlet]

Ah ok, interesting.

[frosty pine]

It did before ODS went down

[honest inlet]

figures

[mint glacier]

what are the chances of HG deciding to cut off the ODS for the weekend to save money on electricity bills? 😆

[vital spire]

ODS?

[frosty pine]

Online Discovery Service

[lime plume]

Online Discovery Service.

[vital spire]

What's that-

[frosty pine]

The thing that makes the game online

[vital spire]

Ah

[frosty pine]

It's what shares the names of the discoveries, bases, expedition progress, etc

[mint glacier]

as in, the thing that is currently stopping us from getting any progress for the expedition because we are unable to connect to it...

[vital spire]

Shame

[lime plume]

On xbox it is active for me.

[frosty pine]

It's probably a different service for each platform

[vital spire]

Should it be online for Steam?

[frosty pine]

I'm on steam. Offline for me

[lime plume]

So it's probably just steam/pc in general with the problem. Someone earlier said they were oj steam and it was down.

Like hours ago earlier.

[vital spire]

Ah

I should grind for the seeds then

And later deposit them

[frosty pine]

Ok, now i'm lost. The s class freighter farming took less than i though 😂

[vital spire]

Lmao

Also I realized I kinda wasted 3 echo seeds because I didn't knew that the ODS were offline-

[worldly cargo]

!ods

Lmao

[frosty pine]

Nice bot

[worldly cargo]

I spammed too much in bot spam and hit the cooldown

[frosty pine]

It says "Active" but we know that's a partial lie 😂

[worldly cargo]

Idk it was still down when I logged out earlier but I'm not playing right now

I figured it would have issues until it's not in the middle of the night in HG timezone lol

[fast dew]

does the community progress need to be completed for anyone to finish the expedition?

[lime plume]

Yes, it is a mandatory step.

[fast dew]

does everyone have the bug where you cant see the progress?

if not does anyone know how close we are

[lime plume]

ODS is down for pc users, so for you guys yes, that is the case.

I can't check sadly cuz I started my second expedition.

[vital spire]

Oof

Welp we need to wait until that shit is resolved

[fast dew]

i hope that people turning in seeds on pc is at least making progress even if we cant see it rn

[vital spire]

But in the case we aren't it is best to not do it until we see it

[fast dew]

yeah thats what im doing

[earnest furnace]

Every time I hear ods I am thinking halo odst 😂

[vital spire]

Honestly, other then the community things this expidation is fun, also fair lol

[ornate kayak]

Kinda stuck here.... Not sure what I am supposed to do from this point...

[vital spire]

Wait for the community shit to be filled

Or if you aren't on pc, you can help in by collecting echo seeds

[ornate kayak]

The waiting game it is then..lmao

[vital spire]

Yeah lol

Though I will recommend collect some echo seeds

Do not deposit them in the prime terminal yet though

[ornate kayak]

<--Totally deposited like 20 of the things...

[vital spire]

Yesterday right?

[ornate kayak]

About 30 minutes ago

[vital spire]

Ah

We don't really know yet if pc will be able to contribute for now as the ODS for PC is offline right now

[north crypt]

so whats the precentage currently?

[vital spire]

No idea

[maiden tusk]

I think it can be checked via #bot-spam

[vital spire]

How

[north crypt]

what command?

[maiden tusk]

just ! tier

bot says it's at 38

[north crypt]

👍

[digital thistle]

So are echo seed donations/deposits on a time wall ?

[earnest furnace]

I think realised where. My previous run fecked up

||Ok so before I went see atlas on the fourth phase I went and did nadas bit before hand which has you have the robins pretty much built

Then went on with atlas …well guess I won’t be doing that this run 😂||

[vital spire]

||if you mean creating the robot I think you had to do that anyways||

[earnest furnace]

Hmmm that sucks

[steady idol]

Absolutely devastated yesterday to learn that the solar ship did nae have the solar sail

Least you can get the utopia speeder pretty easy

[lime plume]

If you did the expedition for it, lol.

[steady idol]

Well that's just ain't it, shame they disabled twitch drops in expeds for whatever reason

[lime plume]

You can't claim it from anomaly?

[steady idol]

There's no option to access twitch rewards

[daring panther]

What about expedition rewards

[steady idol]

Might be available when you finish the expedition but right now I can't

Expedition rewards you can access

[daring panther]

The speeder is an expedition reward

[digital thistle]

Have we figured out if bugged, time walled, or ... ?

[meager scroll]

Rewards for phases 1-4 could be accessed normally from the Quicksilver vendor

[steady idol]

My guess is intended to add some challenge

[meager scroll]

It's only the phasae 5 and main reward that are locked past community research

[daring panther]

It’s either a time gate that is masquerading as a community bar or a community bar with a very large number

[digital thistle]

Don't community things typically have a visible bar somewhere that isn't an item ? akin to the quicksilver rewards, or past expeditions

[daring panther]

It’s a bar inside the logs page

[digital thistle]

It says unknown

[daring panther]

If you click on the create sentience or whatever

Milestone

[digital thistle]

Sentience Echo

[daring panther]

Ignite convergence*

[digital thistle]

Echo Upload progress at Unknown

[lime plume]

If youre on pc then ODS is down for you, so it will only show unknown.

[daring panther]

^

[earnest furnace]

Think nms having a fart moment

[digital thistle]

Is this the community bar ? Why would it not also say that it is community measured ?

[meager scroll]

This research has one as well

[daring panther]

it was at 6% earlier today tho

It’s just bugged atm

[meager scroll]

It uses the same framework QS unlocks do

Note how there is no new QS item to synthesize

[digital thistle]

So it is a community measure that is currently bugged ?

[daring panther]

Yes

[meager scroll]

The servers are down

[digital thistle]

Okay

[meager scroll]

game can not download data to know what % we at

[earnest furnace]

The community ones are always screwy

[meager scroll]

Someone here posted we were at 7% before

[daring panther]

The last known number b4 it went down was 6 or 7 %

[meager scroll]

Wondering if that works properly

[frosty pine]

Seems so

[steady idol]

I wouldn't worry about it, HG would likely step in and manually complete it if it doesn't look like it'll complete on time

[digital thistle]

but until it is complete, we cannot complete the rest of the other expedition steps :I

[daring panther]

It just needs 13% afawk

[digital thistle]

There is another step, and for us completionists, crunch time to get the last two will suck if we need to be hung up on one community event.

[meager scroll]

19% for tier 1 I think

[daring panther]

The rest we think will be “extra” but it should let us finish

Another possibility is that they have a built in feeder that adds so much progress after a certain period of time to create the illusion of success if we can’t fill it fast enough

[meager scroll]

All I can say it, after looking into game files, we pass value of 1 into some data I don't see other reference for

That happens with each time we offer an echo seed into the Prime Terminal

And no, there is no option to put more of them

[daring panther]

It’s probably a variable that their backend online server reads and just adds up for all players out of total needed for completion

So client side It has no reference

[steady idol]

Are there any alternate ways to get a quad servo

My MT ain't at combat levels just yet

[frank scaffold]

21% is the threshold

[vital spire]

Do the last milestone where you need to get alimandium

[frank scaffold]

everything is still broken

[steady idol]

Absolute shout appreciate that one

[vital spire]

No problem!

[lime plume]

Also try not to use your crystalized heart on anything, or you will need to fetch another later.

Granted that is in the last leg of the expedition.

So might just be combat ready by then.

[vital spire]

Trust him, it is required for the 5th phase

[steady idol]

Oh I suspected it'd be needed to I've got it kept safe

[vital spire]

Nice! Also keep the gravity balls that you get from a milestone

[lime plume]

Good, when I started I used it to unlock a slot on my gun. BIG mistake, lol.

[steady idol]

Do enough expeditions and you begin to keep note of hard to aquire stuff and stash it away

[lime plume]

Also if you find any bases that say free farm, if they have gamma weed, snatch it up.

There should be one back in the first system.

[vital spire]

My dumbass was looking for echo seeds

And I found a harmonic camp instead

Oh wait nvm it was the autophase thing

[lime plume]

I just found another harmonic camp too, and like a dumbass I did not put down a save beacon, since I already had the one at the expedition point active.

There is an autophase at the camps too, yes.

[vital spire]

No like it was just the autophase no camps

[lime plume]

Either way I missed out on a sentient ship, lol.

Ah

[vital spire]

Why do they both have the same symbols though-

[lime plume]

Dunno. I found some kind of item that pointed me to it.

[vital spire]

Lol

Anyways back to echo hunting I go

[lime plume]

I thought it was one of those damn autophages, so I went there hoping to nab some needles.

[vital spire]

Or I can try duplicating it but it wouldn't be that fun

Also only atlas may know what the fuck will happen if I tried that lol

[lime plume]

I think that is why they put it so high, or time gated it, cuz people will just dupe it.

[frosty pine]

If you find a low gravity planet with dissonance, put a base

[vital spire]

Also it ain't really fun if you dupe it

[frosty pine]

Low gravity is amazing for echoes farming

[lime plume]

Alot of people already found that out, I found two low grav planets with half a dozen bases on it. And it wasn't even in a system related to the expedition.

[vital spire]

Finally got my 20th echo seed

And to celebrate some priates came to attack me-

[thin whale]

i'm trying to complete the mission for scanning the echos of coincence but nothing happens when i scan

[meager scroll]

You need to be at the location revealed by the new tech

Search for new icons in the visor

Once you're at that location, hit the scanner to summon the crystals

[fringe agate]

Yo, you can check !tier progress in here now as well - but if I start seeing it get used every 2 minutes I'll remove it.

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@fringe agate

COMMUNITY RESEARCH

Tier: 1 of 5, Progress: 41%.

[thin whale]

oh okay , it was really weird , i needed to visit like 5 places , only on 5th the crystal showed up

[vital spire]

What crystal?

[meager scroll]

Sentience Echo crystal

Used for phase 5 milestone... 4 I think?

The community research one

[vital spire]

Don't you get it on planets too-

Like you get a special device to find echo seeds?

[meager scroll]

Yes, crystals spawn on planets

Most of the stuff in the game spawns on planets

Yes, you get a special device to find those seeds

Locations of the seeds to be precise

[vital spire]

Nah I think it's ||bringing them from the world of glass||

[meager scroll]

You can have any lore explanation you want, Im just telling the Echo Seeds come (mostly) from mining those crystals

[vital spire]

Fair, and yes it does also that or you destroy one of those new atlantid things

[meager scroll]

We can destroy them?

[vital spire]

Yes?

[meager scroll]

Cool, didnt know that

[vital spire]

Np

[lime plume]

The anomaly thing that appears in space? Yeah, you can destroy it. First it hails you, then you can shoot it.

[frosty pine]

You can always shoot it

But you get an extra thing if you talk first 😂

[meager scroll]

I see the spirit of British exploration is alive and well

[lime plume]

Just make sure if it appears between you and a space station, you fly around to the side, then shoot it.

I made that mistake once, was not fun.

[frosty pine]

But shooting sentinels in space is fun 👀

[lime plume]

I still have no idea how to take down those sentient freighters. Those things just damn near melt me in seconds, granted I tried taking it on in survival with an S class Shuttle.

Scroll up a little.

[frosty pine]

You just stay away from lasers range, shoot them from far, then go close and shoot until it goes boom

[knotty marsh]

Sentinel freighters? You can get out of it's guns range and still be able to shot it down lol

[thin whale]

i think my expedition bugged-out.
I'm on the mission to get the seeds of echo and put the in main computer on nexus but when i put it in, nothing happens and it still needs seeds of echo

[lime plume]

Guess I was just staying too close.

[knotty marsh]

yeah u can literally destroy it with basic weapons and with zero challenge when the distance is right.

[frosty pine]

If you are on pc, and you are talking of milestone 3 of phase 5, then it's currently broken. Online Service is down right now

[thin whale]

damn that sucks

i guess i'll pick up one more seed and wait until it's fixed

[frosty pine]

That's the community milestone of this expedition

[vivid stream]

that feels bit sluggish to me so all i have to do is skip playing NMS for two weeks until my return

and to check milestone progress if it was filled up, this time it's still stuck to 39% within tier 1

[frosty pine]

Not really stuck tho

It has been increasing

[vivid stream]

yeah i know, back then it was 16% now it's 39% on tier 1 so what i mean is i'll skip for two weeks and return if i could complete milestone 3 phase 5

[vivid stream]

it has progression, but what i meant is i'll return back two weeks later

[frosty pine]

Also, now it's 41%

[vivid stream]

that'll be one week

[thin whale]

where does it say it's community mission. Like why? I'm going there , taking the seed, placing it and i see nothing except that there's no progress at all ,no bar nothing

[worthy horizon]

It’ll be like 3 days at the rate it’s been going up today I think

[lime plume]

3 days for the first tier anyways.

[knotty marsh]

the weekend will provide some boost to the progression of the milestone, but it's still very weird to me, that we have to wait this long in order to complete the expedition

[frosty pine]

The community milestone should have been optional indeed

[fringe agate]

Tbf, it islabeled as Community Expedition

[knotty marsh]

yeah not tied directly to the core progression

[fringe agate]

If it hadn't been such a staggered release, would have been a lot smoother and less a waiting thing

[knotty marsh]

your guess is as good as any

[topaz brook]

is it just the first CG tier that needs to be completed for the milestone to become completable? what's the deal with there being other tiers? what benefit is there to having it divided up like that?

[frosty pine]

It may be like with the Leviathan expedition, that each tier makes you get a better class module each time you turn in an item

[vital spire]

I think we need to get it 100%

[topaz brook]

but we're not being given modules for turning in echoes, are we?

[frosty pine]

Nope

But who knows? Maybe we start getting B class ones after we complete tier 1

[meager scroll]

The only reward in game files so far is the Echo Collective item

[topaz brook]

incidentally, has progress % stopped displaying for anyone else?

[frosty pine]

pc online discovery is broken

[topaz brook]

fun

[vital spire]

Me

[nova merlin]

yup

[vital spire]

And every other pc player

Quick question, do we have to do community thing again if a re-run happens-

[frosty pine]

You mean if you start a new save?

[torpid pivot]

will we get a new ship in this expedition?

[vital spire]

No like during a expedition re run you are a new player, do you have to do the community bullshit?

[meager scroll]

There is no starship reward in this expedition @torpid pivot

[vital spire]

Which to be fair they are pretty cool

[meager scroll]

Posters, jetpack trail, crystal decorations, helmet, full body customization pieces

[vital spire]

Also you get a "new" helmet

Which was teased long ago

Yeah it is a shame

But at least we know that the autophase wouldn't become a new Faction lol

[meager scroll]

Wouldnt be so sure about that lol

[torpid pivot]

sad

[shut wing]

What I don't get is that I never got the option to give either of the two items to the Construnct

But that is because some people bugged into a milestone earlier than they should?

[meager scroll]

Looks like it

[vital spire]

Yeah

[meager scroll]

From patch 4.30.2

Fixed an issue that could cause the assembled Construct to offer its final choice too early in Phase 5 of the expedition, before the completion of the community goal in Sentience Echo. Note: until the community goal is completed, players who have already spoken to the Construct and made this choice early will be unable to redeem the rewards earned and their Ignition milestones will remain locked + encrypted.

[shut wing]

Roger roger

[meager scroll]

Sounds like it was never intentional to get those milestones early

[shut wing]

Still my hats off to the people actually gtinding this shit like it is an MMORPG

I think it was a big moment for HG to do this. If this was to be a personal journey and reflection on the story we started with Inty, I would have loved to continue and rather than be timewalled

[vital spire]

So basically it was their "punishment" for fucking and with the system lol

[meager scroll]

Punishment implies it was an action taken by HG to negatively impact those players

I doubt that was the case

I think it's more like "whelp, due to a bug you advanced where you should not, that fucked up the whole sequence, we can't reset it easily, so we're just gonna lock you out as a quick fix"

[fringe agate]

Yes

[vital spire]

If they fix the ODS shit for PC then yeah

[still charm]

i started my expedition save on a new GPU and it converted to a normal save wtf do I do

it said expedition is over

it would suck if I had to lose that expedition save I had really good stuff

yeah and i had a ship that had hyperdrive range of 1200

on that save

so i could have finished it pretty quickly

[meager scroll]

Did you progress through all the milestones due to a bug?

[still charm]

no

[still charm]

no i was halfway through phase 2

yesterday

oh i guess i could check if it somehow skipped me through all phases, by checking if I have all the rewards

that would be pretty funny...

[nova merlin]

anyone else unable to connect to discovery services at all?

[fringe agate]

Many people, yes

[nova merlin]

ok, probably a cdn outage somewhere along the way then

[still charm]

I only have the phase 1 rewards...

but i think my save is fucked

[frosty pine]

Ahh nice. My ship just got reseted and lost all the modules and items on it

[meager scroll]

Yeah looks like it

Report it to HG

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[still charm]

thank you

[meager scroll]

Today's farming session concluded

[rare dagger]

Servers are up but it looks like HG have a misconfig on their end, Authentication requests arent being parsed properly.

[kindred mesa]

Phase 5 Spoiler

Is this supposed to look like that?
So far collected and dropped off 3 - haven't gotten an update

[cunning raven]

Just came to ask this same question. Progress is Unknown to me, I was going to ask if it's the same for everyone

[frosty pine]

No, it shouldn't. It's related to the previous message

[rare dagger]

Servers arent connecting rn so no contributions are being sent for now for these echos

[kindred mesa]

[nova merlin]

hopefully they'll update appropriately once they can connect properly

[silent horizon]

Having some trouble with the 3rd mission of phase 5, I’ve found a dissonant world and it says to do a scan but I’ve done a scan and nothings happened, anyone know what to do?

It’s also saying to use the analysis visor and that’s not doing anything too

[meager scroll]

Use the visor to look for a new icon

Radiant Shard icon with a little ! sign on it

Go to that location, use the scanner to spawn crystals and mine them

[silent horizon]

Not seeing any of those, should I look in a different location on the planet?

[meager scroll]

Are you on a dissonant planet?

[silent horizon]

Yup

I see radiant shards but not ones with a !

Wait

Found one, thanks

[meager scroll]

(posting regardless so I can come back to it later)

[loud karma]

good morning what happend to the progress bar?

[meager scroll]

Servers are / were down

Waiting for a fix

[loud karma]

ah i see

did we make it past 6% before they went down?

[meager scroll]

I think someone mentioned 7%

[silent horizon]

Is it not possible to progress further in the expedition without filling that bar?

Because I uploaded the seed and I haven’t been allowed to do the next task

[meager scroll]

1. servers are / were down so no point in uploading

[lime plume]

I don't think Xbox has the latest patch, cuz I was able to claim one of the heads earlier.

[meager scroll]

2. you pushed the bar 1 step out ofgod knows how many steps needed for full completion

[fringe agate]

1616161616 steps

[meager scroll]

Could be right, hotfixes were released for PC

[deft lichen]

im so conflicted i dunno if i want to look in the ARG spoilers chat or not................

[silent horizon]

And do we as a community need to fill the bar to progress or

[meager scroll]

That's what I think

It uses the same "framework" as Quicksilver unlocks

[cursive bone]

Damn, I killed them

And now the could stop being alone

[deft lichen]

potentially

[cursive bone]

So should I delay uploading?
I have 50 seeds rn

[deft lichen]

yeah i'd say hold off, at least til the percentages come back

[cursive bone]

Kk

[neat latch]

Well! You know what's coming :3

[deft lichen]

no i do not! :3

oh. right, no, im dumb, yes i do

[neat latch]

May go in #memes🤡 I thought at first but it contains spoilers about the game so you'll have to spoiler tag it xD

Imma delete it from here because against the rules 🙂

[deft lichen]

🫡

[strong blaze]

I've seen the option, but it doesn't show. I'm on console PS4

[neat latch]

Absolutely love it though

[deft lichen]

I don't have access to whatever channel that is ><

[neat latch]

There is an ongoing "no connection" issue. Many aren't able to start the expd because of that.

[cursive bone]

I hope that we'll get 100% before 10-th of july. I'm leaving for a vacation and won't be able to press complete

[neat latch]

Chat more. You need to be familiar role. Check your experience in #bot-spam using !xp command

[deft lichen]

probably the one that needs familiar

yeah haha

[neat latch]

xD

[deft lichen]

my bad.

[neat latch]

Nah! You're good.

[lime plume]

Phase 2 of second run complete.

[cursive bone]

The whole expedition ends on 12th, I believe that 2 days won't be much of a deal

[neat latch]

Aiming for the other helmet?

[lime plume]

That, and not turning it in this time so it doesn't glitch me.

[deft lichen]

oh you know that's a good idea. i was gonna run through a second time because i missed a bunch of stuff, got too excited and didn't screenshot things i needed

[lime plume]

Xbox doesn't have that "fix" patch yet, lol.

[neat latch]

Ooh! Interesting

[deft lichen]

i ought to go do that while the prime terminal is down lol

[strong blaze]

Oh I see, but still once it's over it won't return much like all the others

[lime plume]

Either way I have the crimson helmet, so wooo.

[thin whale]

im so disappointed with that waiting part now. Literally everything is done besides 2 missions and i can get that sweet sweet terminator skin....

[neat latch]

This is correct but we have a lot of time at hand.

[ashen shore]

can we complete tge expedition yet?

[neat latch]

We have also allowed the !tier command here to check up on the community research progress, but use it sparingly if y'all want the command to stay.

[ashen shore]

nvm

[lone mist]

guys what can i do to unlock the missions?, sorry for the fact that it is not in english

[ashen shore]

😭

[lone mist]

pls help

[thin whale]

dude you can't

[cursive bone]

There's a community stage gatekeep

[thin whale]

these missions are locked

[cursive bone]

We should unite and collect as many echo seeds as we can

[lone mist]

so all 3 missions are locked?

[cursive bone]

Yep

[lone mist]

oof

[bold atlas]

augh

[cursive bone]

And currently the seed progress servers experience some difficulties, so it's better to hold off turning seeds in

[bold atlas]

soooo any movement of community milestone progress?

[neat latch]

42%, 1 of 5

[ashen shore]

wow

we are going to be here a while it seems

[neat latch]

Yup

Happens all the time anything is gatekept

[carmine mulch]

It’s better than singles

[lime plume]

For anyone heading to second phase rendezvous point, there is a base promptly labeled right smack next to the site.

[spice spoke]

I can't see the expedition it says there aren't any how do i fix? on pc btw

[lime plume]

You can't yet, ODS is down on pc.

[neat latch]

No fix, need to wait for HG to fix this known server disconnect issue.

[spice spoke]

oh ok

[twilit moss]

@tepid sierra revisit the construct

[tepid sierra]

Will try that

I visited him a few times last night

[solar basalt]

If you want to get both heads, when should you save before going?

[twilit moss]

If you've finished all seeds and built everything, there's a choice tonmake with it (this is what provides the heads)

[twilit moss]

Apparently

[lime plume]

You gotta do another run anyways, cuz turning them in early bugs out the milestones.

[sinful slate]

what is the percentage at now?

[twilit moss]

8

[tepid sierra]

I didn't get that choice, I only get that dialogue when he keeps blabbering for himself

[sinful slate]

cool

[solar basalt]

Guess I’ll just stick with Atlantid then, really don’t want to grind out an expedition for one head

[lime plume]

Then don't turn it in yet, cuz if you do when the patch hits you'll be locked out of finishing it.

[topaz brook]

you can just reload the restore point

[rare dagger]

Apparently this is a steam issue, and not an HG issue

Something to do with Steam's authentication tokens

[lime plume]

They did it to pc already. Console players are just late getting the patch.

[topaz brook]

(so long as you haven't entered your ship again after making the choice)

[solar basalt]

So make the choice, load save, do the other choice?

[topaz brook]

yeah basically

[twilit moss]

I'm not sure why it wouldn't have the same path - do either of the optional milestones show as completed? Or the still scrambled one after Seed of Hope?

[blazing talon]

Is community progress cross platform?

[tepid sierra]

The last 3 milestones are scrambled for me, even after Seed of Hope

[blazing talon]

My PS4 progress percentage is stuck on 8%

[tepid sierra]

This is the only interaction I can get with it

[twilit moss]

Yeah, same for me. The last optional is still greyed out, but the others are filled in like they're complete. Probably will beed to be patched or have Sentience Echo completed to claim them for now. I expect that will be patched soon

[twilit moss]

Trying to remember exactly what I did....talk to Polo again maybe?

[tepid sierra]

I can try that

[grim fossil]

Wait so you can do them and they aren’t a part of the community milestone? Huh

I’m confuzzeld

[twilit moss]

Yes, just can't collect the ones after Seed of Hope but they will be completed

[tepid sierra]

Nope normal Polo conversation with coordinates

[twilit moss]

Can you show your Phase 5 page?

[tepid sierra]

Yes, give me a moment

[lime plume]

I would advise against trying to do it.

[grim fossil]

That’s the same as mine

[tepid sierra]

Glad I'm not alone, I was confused how people got the heads, so I assumed they save edited 😅

Turns out not

[twilit moss]

Weird.....maybe trying warping to a new system and summoning the Anomaly there. I did them in the last system

[grim fossil]

Same here i thought they were locked behind the community thing

[lime plume]

It is locked, but not pc players are late on the patch that locks it.

[ashen shore]

so are the 2 optional missions for each head?

[grim fossil]

Wtf? What do you have to do to get them to un scramble?

[lime plume]

If you do claim it now you cant finish the expedition.

[twilit moss]

Probably Sentience Echo

[tepid sierra]

I tried in 3 systems yesterday I think

[twilit moss]

I expect a fix is coming

[tepid sierra]

Or perhaps it has been fixed, maybe it is supposed to be locked

[lime plume]

The last 3 will unscramble after the community event is done.

[grim fossil]

Ah so it’s intended to be locked

[lime plume]

I just said that like twice now

[twilit moss]

Wait....I may have done it after putting in an echo at the terminal. Have you done one?

[knotty marsh]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@knotty marsh

COMMUNITY RESEARCH

Tier: 1 of 5, Progress: 42%.

[grim fossil]

I put in 30

Fuuuuuuuu!

[twilit moss]

Scratch that then

[tepid sierra]

Sorry, the chat is moving fast, I can't read every message

[tepid sierra]

I have put several in there

[lime plume]

If you turn em in you screw up the expedition.

[grim fossil]

How so?

[lime plume]

Once the patch hits you will be locked out of finishing it.

[twilit moss]

Same. Just to see if 100 even moved the needle. It did not.

[lime plume]

Pc players already got the patch.

[twilit moss]

Ok, so fix coming

[lime plume]

Console players have been delayed on the patch.

[grim fossil]

Honestly i think it’s rigged on a timer

[twilit moss]

Not an unreasonable theory

[tepid sierra]

I hope they don't leave us with like 2 days to replay the expedition and get both heads

[grim fossil]

Expo 2 felt like that, speeds up at the end for no reason

[rare dagger]

It does have a set end time, and HG can modify it whenever they want, since it's just a renamed community mission

[twilit moss]

fomo panic

[grim fossil]

Stayed on 99% for a day

[lime plume]

If you wait til the end, after the community event is over, you should be able to turn it in twice then.

Just don't do it now.

[grim fossil]

Ok will do so question is then how does one get both from the same expo

[tepid sierra]

I like collecting haha

[lime plume]

You save, give, reload, give other.

[grim fossil]

Figured as much

[lime plume]

If you wanna be on the safe side tho, go ahead and start another expedition.

[twilit moss]

Same. I try to get everything on any save I have. I've just been killing time doing echoes and gearing up this exp save for when it converts to normal

[lime plume]

If you do that you may as well claim one now tho.

[grim fossil]

I will be on monday regardless

[lime plume]

It will only bug out the character you claim it early on.

[tepid sierra]

Ah so the save is not deleted?

[grim fossil]

Yeh i haven’t because I’m not able to lol

[twilit moss]

Oh no, they just become normal saves. And you can still see the expedition milestones in the catalogue

[tepid sierra]

That's nice haha, I played as if the save would be terminated after the event

Oh well probably won't play much on it anyways

[grim fossil]

😂 lol

[twilit moss]

Only Exp saves I've deleted were 4-6. 7 and 8 are ones I often use

[tepid sierra]

I threw away lots of stuff that could be nice saving haha

[grim fossil]

I like to keep em for their unique tech in this instance the scanner for the multitool

[tawdry vector]

How did you unluck the encrypted tasks?

[grim fossil]

Previous expeditions i kept for similar stuff others i just deleted

[twilit moss]

Same. Singularity Drive was why I kept 8

[twilit moss]

Just did them, they aren't unlocked and I can't claim them yet

[grim fossil]

Exactly and the unique tech you got on your ship from expo 3

That i had to keeps

[twilit moss]

I missed 1-3 unfortunately

[tepid sierra]

I missed 1-9 unfortunately 😆

[twilit moss]

Ouch

[grim fossil]

😞

[grim fossil]

😖

[tepid sierra]

But honestly, I would rather miss a majority than having 1 or 2 missed

[grim fossil]

If i missed even 1 i would be disappointed

[tepid sierra]

Like in another game called Generation Zero, I am only missing the preorder stuff, that bugs me a little haha

[twilit moss]

Yeah, I'll admit to using dark magic to unlock the prior Exp stuff since re-runs for them haven't happened since I started playing

[tawdry vector]

But can you see what need to be done in them? Maybe I just didn’t look good enough since they stood as encrypted

[grim fossil]

Mm it did bug me, when i was off topic farming gnome masks it bugged me that i may have missed the golden one

Then i got it

So i happy

[twilit moss]

It was dumb luck apparently. I went back and talked to the construct, there was an interaction and a choice of which material to use (echo or seed) and they were done

[tepid sierra]

Yeah that was my last one too, rare thing haha, but we are rolling down the oh so easy #off-topic-bond-james-bond hill 😆

[grim fossil]

Honestly all the power to you alot of those base parts in past i use so much, cave creepers is my most used base decoration part

[grim fossil]

Took me another 2 weeks after getting the other 6

[twilit moss]

I love the windows

[grim fossil]

Omg

🤩

[tepid sierra]

Same lol

[twilit moss]

Been trying to make a base on an Archive that feels like it's part of the structure

[grim fossil]

Yeh i wanted to do something with the big ball one yet had no ideas for it

[twilit moss]

The exp deco items have some rrally good resize ranges too. The one on left is max

[naive prism]

i still want to be able to adapt settlement buildings as part of my base....

[grim fossil]

I haven’t checked any of em out yet I’m keen about the crystal

[twilit moss]

They hum too, same as ones in the wild

[grim fossil]

The town square sculpture thing i would love

[twilit moss]

The posters are ok, but these crystals are definitely worth doing the exp for

There's 3 varieties

[grim fossil]

Oh I’ll have to get back in and have a look I’ve sorta left the expo until the community thing is done

[naive prism]

but also the opposite, that the farm building is actually my own farm, that the settlement terminal is my base computer, and that i can build my own buildings inside the town

[twilit moss]

Fair. I've just been getting a head start on gearing it up, then I'll prob take it off to Calypso

[grim fossil]

But i might start a new expo save on Monday to get both rewards and because bored

True i should put some stuff into it considering i want to keep

[naive prism]

apparently a lot of people have trouble starting a new expedition right now, not sure when HG will fix that

[twilit moss]

Or I'll use this save for my Gunter project

[broken idol]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@broken idol

COMMUNITY RESEARCH

Tier: 1 of 5, Progress: 42%.

[broken idol]

nice

[brisk plover]

When I load up the game I don't see a functioning expedition progress percentage. Is it just something wrong on my end? (I see the !tier thing.)

[grim fossil]

It’s ODS down for some people my game seems fine

[broken idol]

did it got much higher since the console update ?

[broken idol]

yeah I get un Unknown

[meager scroll]

Console players have to get to the stage 5 first

[grim fossil]

It honestly seems to be going the same rate the past few days

[cursive bone]

Nope, it's not you, everyone on PC gets it

[teal flicker]

Seems fine for me🤷‍♂️

[meager scroll]

It's gonna take a bit before we see the impact from console players

[brisk plover]

Okay. But it's a recent thing, right? I had a percentage yesterday.

[cursive bone]

Also you should probably hold off uploading your seeds

[naive prism]

do we know if there is a max contribution per player per day?

[brisk plover]

Yeaaah, definitely was holding off.

[cursive bone]

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, it happened like 10 hours ago

[twilit moss]

Unknown

[brisk plover]

K. Makes sense then. Cool, thanks.

[brisk crypt]

with the expedition milestone 'sentience echo' is that a community event like does other people need to contribute because i've dunked about 60 and nothings happened

[cursive bone]

(We should really make a pin)

[grim fossil]

Oh ground clam hurt me 😖

[naive prism]

funny thing is that i dunked 10 seeds thursday and it went from 5% to 6%, then i dunked another 10 yesterday and it went from 29% to 30% 😆

[hollow atlas]

hey did anybody have had this happen?

[cursive bone]

I dunked from 27 to 28 or so

[grim fossil]

Yes why

[brisk plover]

#nms-expedition message

[cursive bone]

Yeah, that's a PC version issue

[rare dagger]

Steam Auth messed up by a Steam Update, not an HG issue

[solar basalt]

How does sentience echo work?

[naive prism]

be careful that you don't prematurely talk with the spiderbot/construct, because you won't be able to collect the milestones in the end

should be fixed^

but use your own head too

[grim fossil]

Mines still greyed out so I’m good yayy

[rocky shadow]

please halpp
expedition wont let me start it

[cursive bone]

What do you think?

[knotty marsh]

looks like some server issues going on right now. Just give them some time

[hollow atlas]

uhhh

[grim fossil]

Wouldn’t surprise me that it’s a timer but week 4 is a bit late to have it end

They might aswell just had the expo be 1 week without the community progress

Besides i hope its not done on the 12th because I’m not going to be able to complete it

[cursive bone]

I believe the weekend will tell the truth.
We can calculate the expected progress on the monday midnight and then compare it with the real one

[rare dagger]

Artificial time increase to draw it out for whatever comes next I suppose

[grim fossil]

Can do i just think 4th week is a bit silly

[tribal gull]

Anyone else got an unknown on the echos

[grim fossil]

Maybe i just find that silly and the equivalent of having it only a week

[hollow atlas]

as in?

[cursive bone]

everyone on pc, server issue

[grim fossil]

Not a fan of it from the start

[knotty marsh]

Nah, community progression isn't a bad thing, but it needs to be separated from the expeditions core, so you don't have to wait to finish it.

[cursive bone]

Yeah, or give players the opportunity to contribute from the main save

[grim fossil]

This is what i mean, having it in an expedition is just a dumb way to keep long term “engagement”

[knotty marsh]

i mean save type is not actually meaningfull in that case, cuz people can duplicate items with ease

[grim fossil]

Ngl that post pisses me off @cursive bone i hope it’s false and finishes much sooner

Thank you for sharing it tho

[rocky shadow]

Thanks!

[obsidian raft]

any idea when the server issue will be fixed ?

[grim fossil]

Wait a minute

[knotty marsh]

Probably pretty fast, but who really knows

[cursive bone]

I also hope that it's false.
I'll try to run some calculations and get the expected % for the end of the weekend.
So it's better to continue contributing for now

[grim fossil]

@cursive bone the post is going off the community research right?

Like it’s calculating how long until that research will be complete?

[native bloom]

Hmm, any easy source for two lubricant?

[cursive bone]

If I got everything right, the guy noticed that the % is growing with a constant speed

[grim fossil]

it can’t be because the expedition ends on the 12th of July

[meager scroll]

Nexus missions can reward 5 pieces of it

[native bloom]

Thanks, guess I'll camp there

[meager scroll]

Or I could drop you some I got left 😄

[vital spire]

All pc players

[knotty marsh]

Bare in mind that the % is most likely not shown in real time. More like preset intervals, to save some bandwith

[grim fossil]

So there is No way would they make it finish by the expeditions conclusion time they would have to cut it off what would be a sane 2 weeks before you would hope

[gentle coral]

I just talked to nada before atlas but nothing progressed and I cant find a eay to a atlas station as there is no mission "trail" on gal map

[native bloom]

Nah, thanks though. Want to complete one run clean

[solar basalt]

Is sentience echo just a waste of time

[grim fossil]

Anyway time will tell @cursive bone i think that guy gathered the info of the conclusion time for the expo not what they think they got

[knotty marsh]

yes it is 🙂

[lime plume]

There are some player set up farms with gamma weed for the lubricant.

[native bloom]

I can't find a decent MT for the life of me 😦

[knotty marsh]

the weed isn't that hard to find anyway. Click on the weed in your catalogue and it will guide you to the nearest radio active planet

and it should be very close, if you don't stray too far from the expedition route

[jagged sleet]

How tf do you ignite a convergence?

[fast yarrow]

hoow many echo seeds does nada's terminal need

[oak kiln]

Yes

[knotty marsh]

xD

[fast yarrow]

yeah i stuck here too

[knotty marsh]

the terminal is addicted. It's a seed-o-holic

[jagged sleet]

Can’t even finish the other milestones? What horsecockery is that

[fast yarrow]

yeah i thought it wanted 19 but it changed its mind ive given it way mroe then that

[oak kiln]

It’s a community milestone, so it’s gonna take a while

[fast yarrow]

damn fr

[jagged sleet]

But why can’t we finish the other milestones while we wait for whatever we wait for?

[fast yarrow]

so techniclly i can do nothing and free load

[oak kiln]

Also, I can’t see the percentage, so I have no idea how far along it is

[fast yarrow]

this thing has eaten over 30 i give up xD

[brisk plover]

Yes, as with all community milestone things.

[knotty marsh]

Yeah, that's exactly where the confusion and frustration for most comes from.

[slow holly]

what is the starting system we spawn in? im trying to get back to it

[lime plume]

Zahmanum XV system, planet Ferlas. Gamma root there, if you don't wanna use player bases.

[fast yarrow]

what if everyone just free loads and it never reaches while someone works their butt off and fails

[brisk plover]

I had the impression that at least one of the encrypted tasks was going to unlock at 17% or so, and I think we're at 42% or something? I could be wrong.

[jagged sleet]

Ugh. It’s timed yes? We can’t just spam echo seeds?

[oak kiln]

Lmao imagine we’re that far along

[gentle coral]

Sorry guys I am lost what is the grand divergence milestone?

[fast yarrow]

i'd imagine people using the forbbin ||save editor|| on this one

[brisk plover]

Community progress bar.

[knotty marsh]

yeah but it's not global 42%, right? Just 42 in 1 out of 5 sections 😛

[oak kiln]

Some people have I think

[gentle coral]

I am stuck on nada, have no coords for next atlas or anything

Says me to finish grand divergence 😔

[fast yarrow]

yeah you gotta do that one first

then it'll send you to the next atlas

i dont know why it not in order lol

[gentle coral]

Oh so how do I do it, thats where I am lost

[fast yarrow]

you just gotta do drand divergence and then you can do nada

[jagged sleet]

I had a problem with the place not exactly working for me, so if you’re where you need to be, reload and try again

[solar basalt]

I’ve done seed of hope, so do I just wait and do nothing?

[gentle coral]

I dont know where I need to be thats the problem

[fast yarrow]

i mean you can help and add more seeds to the community

[gentle coral]

I got no path to continue

[knotty marsh]

best thing HG can do right now is artificially speed up the progress on the milestone. It's weekend so it's expected to go faster anyway 😄

[fast yarrow]

if you double click grand givergence itll start the tracking for you

[gentle coral]

Oh just saw it, ehat a noob I am haha spent so much time lost

[solar basalt]

Will that even matter?

[fast yarrow]

yeah it'll help if the milestonds in order

[fast yarrow]

unless you do alot id not imagine so

[brisk plover]

Select the thing that is unfinished in the expedition, and it will give you pop-ups in the lower right corner on what to do next.

[solar basalt]

Because I don’t feel like grinding seeds until the heat death of the universe

[brisk plover]

Then don't.

Respect your own time. Do what's fun.

[jagged sleet]

Stand next to the thing and people will give you so many seeds… I spent half hour adding them last night and no progress whatsoever.

[fast yarrow]

i mad i have to wait for the comminity meanwhile people jus use mods to get the prizes xD

[knotty marsh]

Yup. if anyone's to respect your free time, that's gotta be you

[gilded stratus]

Expedition broke at Prayer IV, seems like no way to continue,

[brisk plover]

Define "broke". Is your saved game corrupted? Computer on fire? Wife grew a third head?

[fast yarrow]

i'mma just waste a bunch of time getting seeds, be cool if the top donators got extra but people just use mods

[solar basalt]

I’m assuming the last missions will only unlock with progress?

[gilded stratus]

Has anyone been able to complete the expedition?

[lime plume]

Yes,last mission will unlock when community event completes.

[fast yarrow]

you cant yet, not until everyone puts in the work haha

[knotty marsh]

people use mods, duplication glitches etc. This time gate is really pointless, but i doubt they're going to do it again in future expeditions

[fast yarrow]

doesnt help how simple that glitch is its been there forever haha

[solar basalt]

So the optional missions and that other mission that’s after seed of hope

[fast yarrow]

i dont think they'll ever patch it

[gilded stratus]

Prayer IV section is glitching out for me after talking to Nada it won't progress any further.

[lime plume]

Yes, the 3 glitched missions at the end.

[lime plume]

Talk to polo.

[gilded stratus]

I talked to Polo to get coords thinking that'd do it, but I didn't get Atlas coords.

[lime plume]

You don't get atlas coords yet.

Go to the place he marked.

You gotta do a thing for nada first.

[gilded stratus]

that's the problem, there are two places marked on the galaxy map, but nothing marked when I get to the systems.

[fast yarrow]

this expadtion is vvery out of order and prolonged xD

[slender glade]

Similar to others here, I don't see community event completion updates anymore. It just says "unkown". What's the latest community percent and Tier of completion?

[lime plume]

Look for "dissonance detected" attached to a planet, land there.

[knotty marsh]

Yeah i was confused way too many times, during this one, and i'm not exactly a fresh player 😉

[gilded stratus]

I'll try it, but I'm thinking I did this. Hopefully it is working. Thank you!

[native bloom]

It's been pretty straightforward for me. I just click on the expedition task and it tells me where to go and what to do

[knotty marsh]

the time gate was just a cherry on top xD

[fast yarrow]

yeah i've done all before this one usually they have one confusing mission but this ones been very confusing to me over and over then this community part is strange, its free so its cool as tho xD

[lime plume]

Hopefully it works. I remember it being like photo missions, it gives you a hint of which planet, and shows nothing til you land on said planet.

[knotty marsh]

thats the thing - here's hoping that HG will make a future content paid, so we can criticise them more haha

[fast yarrow]

if they wanted money it'll be a miss because of the fobbien ||save edtior|| just as PVP being a main part of the game would never happen for this reason haha

[knotty marsh]

They can make paid DLCs without a problem, save editors doesn't matter here really

[fast yarrow]

i'd image being able to give it to yourself

[knotty marsh]

nah, if you can't download a content that's behind a paywall, save editor won't help you there

[fast yarrow]

possible, i think i over estimate the mod haha

[bronze crater]

indeed

[solar basalt]

The rest of the expedition has been fine.

[slender glade]

What's the latest percent completion at? (I only see "unknown" at this point.)

[icy harness]

Anyone have glyphs for a planet in the expedition system yet?

[knotty marsh]

yeah u can always mod some things into the game (even if it was suppose to be paid for), but that's the same deal as piracy. It's always been around

[bronze crater]

ODS is down again

[gilded stratus]

Ah, I found it now, the missions are needing to be completed out of order... Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

[lime plume]

Welcome.

There are so many damn bases on this planet my game is lagging like crazy.

And it crashed not just once, but twice.

[uneven oracle]

Not sure who at HG thought a month long time gate is a good idea. If reddit is correct, dataminers already figured out the progression is on a timer and the turn-ins are worthless.

[knotty marsh]

lol, yeah, try to turn down the base details in the graphical options menu

[native bloom]

I've seen that stated. I haven't seen it proved

[bronze crater]

redit and correct? 🤔

[lime plume]

Did they also figure out what it even gives out?

[native bloom]

On the plus side, there won't be any fallacious rumors going around for three days from the 12th to 14th

[lime plume]

Don't see an option for that on Xbox.

[knotty marsh]

would have been hillarious if it turned out to really be on a timer xD

[knotty marsh]

Oh sorry man, i don't know the xbox menu differences

[lime plume]

Well which option would it be under?

I might of missed it honestly.

[knotty marsh]

all i know is that it's under graphics on pc

[lime plume]

Base complexity limits?

Cuz that has been enabled since I started, lol.

[knotty marsh]

yup, thats the one

set it all the way down, and see if it changes anything

can always get back up after you're done with the expedition

[lime plume]

Yeah, I don't get all those options.

Lemme get a screenshot and I'll show you what I see, lol.

[solar basalt]

[knotty marsh]

alright

[lime plume]

That's it, the entire graphic setting.

[knotty marsh]

oh

[ashen shore]

I have 43 seeds waiting for these servers to come back

[bronze crater]

same ._.

[knotty marsh]

Not sure i can help you then buddy, not much to tweak around there

[lime plume]

It is what it is. Once I get caught up, again, I'll just move to and stay in an unoccupied system.
