it's at %CMTOTALPERCENT% lol
If Singularity is still available why cant i acess it then?
are you trying to create a new Expedition save? it appears that some players are having issues accessing the HG server that enables the expedition. we're unclear if it's a regional issue (as some of us aren't having said issue). since it's the weekend, we've got a feeling HG won't get to it till they're back in their office.
Ok thx
there is no evidence of that, the game does count every single one you insert though
we know there was a cap for Leviathan, a past expedition. i haven't received any official statement confirming this is the case for this expedition, but it's a likely mechanic happening.
how do people know that ?
I have checked the game memory, and afaik there is a count system that syncs online , and probably an anti cheat system
hey need some help expedition 10 phase 5 what or where is ....empathy-echoes... ???
we're also seeing network connectivity issues which could be affecting progression. some of which seem to be platform specific. others which seem to be regional. HG was also busy patching a few bugs since release. so we'll see if any of the patches also have a desired effect on progression. there are so many moving parts with this update, it's hard to tell what's what. only time will tell. we gotta be patient.
Sentience Echos (English name) is the community research
You can still do the Prayer V and Seed of Hope milestones solo
in the past, ppl looked at game files iirc. we can ask someone like @native bloom or @hollow shore who may have more insight on how the 20 cap from Leviathan was figured out.
in that case that is more likely, although i have seen people saying stuff like the current progress is based on a timer, just because of a date ( which is tomorrow) so there is a lot of assumption there. Imo they must have made a system to prevent duping or altering the amount of seeds inserted
I'm currently observing the progress and calculating the expected progress if the theory about the timer is correct
#nms-expedition message
It was about it, actually
I mean just gotta check the different progress on the weekend and during the week
I think it would have made more sense if they made a daily quest, like collect 20 seeds. And if you want to contribute more then make another expedition save
My theory is that there's not only the "upper" cap, but also the "lower" one.
Like if there's not enough contributors, the game just adds a fixed amount to the progress
a lower cap makes more sense, or HG just being able to adjust things in their backend just in case
At the start there were not enough contributors, and the upper cap possibly made their progress even lower than the "lower" cap, and that's why at the beginning the data was showing growth in accordance with the "timer" theory
also we have no actual idea what makes the percentage go up, if its number of seeds or number of players that contributed a certain amount
If the cap is low, than the amount of players contributed per day has more influence on the progress, than the amount of seeds contributed
how many echo seeds i need for terminal primus? it takes already 5???
It's a community research, we dont know how many it needs
Is the ODS on-
Still UNKNOWN 
You can upload seeds all day
still down
We have no confirmation on that
It was a thing / theory from last exped with community research (Leviathan)
Ah ok
Daaamn, we're already at 60%
Yeah, let us PUMP
https://galacticatlas.nomanssky.com/poi/sentience-echo
(but it's the first stage only)
So it's like 10-15% overall
Ok, that's cool :o
LETS GOOOO
how many echo seeds do you need to complete sentience echo, i've already given it 3 and it shows no sign of progress
It's a community mission
bruh
All players advance it
so i cant complete the expedition until it unlocks?
can i at least do the commune with the atlas part or is that locked behind the sentience echo
Yeah
cool thanks
You can
You can do 4/6 of the phase 5 stages
When does the expedition continue?
When the community achieves some amount of the contributed echo seeds
When all of us work together to do the community shit
Which the devs would lower it so we don't do it too fast
Which seems to have a unanimous agreement that it's shit
It's nice that there is a required community effort - I just wish it was for additional bonus rewards after finishing the actual Expedition 
As community events should only ever be
Optional. Not mandatory
I think it's safe to say, no ones against the community goal. We're against the timegating in a time limited event
oof, still offline?
So any updates to the bad mission
What mission?
The dumb community mission
7% to next conversion

Tier 1 is at 60%
Upload progress is 12%
Next collective sentience is in 7%
So basically not close at all
Well it progressed all of 3% from last night to now so...
Basically yeah
Yep
they probably timed it out at 5 weeks...
ODS still down?
How do we unlock blueprints for the science terminal in the current expedition? Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask.
The crashing is so bad for me on the last planet, I can't get to the last rendezvous point. I'm kinda, stuck.
So if anyone knows of a base that would let me warp straight there, I would greatly appreciate it.
If I recall correctly, that was figured out via network packets
Is anyone on the first planet they start at by any chance as when I get on shortly wanna head back there to set up something to help new expo ppls given how royally fucked up everything is atm
What's the easiest way to obtain a quad servo?
Not yet
zamn
Well, I somehow managed to get there via ship. To hell with the crashed ship on the planet, I am getting this done and leaving asap.
@ashen shore
Nice
Now I can't even leave the damn planet without it crashing before I take off.
Yeah that happened with me so if ya can if there’s one near take off where no one is it’s orbit and head to a space station save then use galaxy map or use someone’s tp at base on said planet to get to another planet and do same as ℹ previous sid
What is causing the issue then? Just all the bases and clutter, or something else?
The first planet is causing the issue
Hopefully it saved after I got the milestones done, so I can just bolt.
Ouch.
I'm on the last one.
It's lagging like crazy then just, crashes.
Last planet ? Yeah o seen loads of ppl built there I had to land miles away and walk to a destination cause ppl bases crashed me to dashboard
I’m loading onto the new expo now to try and help ppl with stutt as all I can do atm
I kept getting like 600-700U away and it just, crashing every time I moved like 100-200U. I also finally got off the damn planet. I wish we could turn off the bases show they would just, not show up on screen. It's not even so much the bases themselves, just the waypoints even. Plus the gravity "effect" of the last and like, the 3rd or 4th planet make me lag like crazy when they happen.
I did get to the site tho, I luckly dropped back in and was flying straight towards it. The lag isn't so bad on my ship, but once I land my system just can't handle it.
I definitely did not have this much problem my first expo run of this, which I had to delete cuz I did the helmet bug on it.
So it's time to install wireshark?
Is anyone at the first planet ya start on by any chance ?
I can start a new one if you need me to for whatever reason.
What you trying to do there?
is it normal that i can't pin any recipe's whatsoever in the expedition?
every time i do anything to do with completing recipes the game is like "pin the recipe for guidance" but then I never have the option to pin it anywhere.
It’s so I can build to help ppl
Like, places to warp to to avoid the lag?
It was such a pain in my ass when I was trying to and tbh untill hello games sorts there shit out
Not lot I can do on nms
Gimme a sec and I'll make a fresh one, I am hearing impaired tho so I can't use a mic or anything.
I@can use mic neater my mic went poof few days ago just need planet then ya can go bout ya day
Well if you just need planet and system, it is in the pins.
It is ?
Yes.
Hold on.
System Dalnye planet Ahei XV.
It has the starting planet, the rendezvous points, and all their glyphs and coords listed.
Awesome thanks I’ll find it
That was how I found the last point via flying to reduce the abysmal lag.
I just listed the planet an system lol.
The others are all listed too tho if you wanna make warp bases.
I know 2 3 and 4 already have warp bases, just not so obviously named.
Tho I could warp in, there was no actual "base" to warp out from.
Either way good luck in your endeavors, you have far more patience for that than I do.
Now excuse me while I go find some uncharted system without any bases to go settle down in, lol.
I don’t have patience that’s why I’m trying make myself useful
Ha, fair enough. Still more effort than me tho.
Is the ODS finally working?
nope :(
Weird, the multi-player is working
yeah i can see players in the anomaly but in the discoveries tab its still says Connecting
The multiplayer is probably client side thl rather than server side.
Accidentally got into a fire fight with a sentinal flag ship hahah
Oof-
Done it just
Nice
There actually easier then ppl think
should I shot the purple big orb appeared randomly when I use pulse engine?
Yes you can, you get Atlantideum
Or however that is spelled
ty
No problem
How do I get the quad servo for the expedition?
Once I’ve set up I’ll give ya some but ya can get from rewards in expo
Get all the Atlantidium stuff for that last quest in that phase, you get the quad servo from that
Apologies for the earlier rant.
servers are still down?!?
Wdym
yep :(
Im ingame
🤷♂️
one's for hosting recorded data and one's for player activity
discord has something like that too
a live server and an archival server
the vc one and the text one
Ok
The community expedition goes very slowly and me grinding already 7h straight
Idk
thats the problem
its not going
i havent seen anything on their twitter i checked like an hour ago
Its going but I have the feeling like 1% per hour
local progress works
but the echo seed uploading is broken
we're ALL stopped at the final phase
i managed to get both helmets with the progression skip bug from the earlier version
but im still missing the phase 5 and final phase rewards
You think the final phase rewards gonna be big?
My discovery tab is online. (PS5)
you can always just check
and it could be anything
id still be upset for not getting it
The fact they don't say anithing is maybe a part of the exp
Ingame or Web?
ingame
So, just to make sure, the sentient echoes of phase 5 is community based, correct?
Ok
yeah
and broken
For now yeah
Okay, good to know so i dont drive myself insane trying to grind it out
@somber sail
(perfect number btw)
Of course its broken, i just hope the ones i put in do in fact count towards it when its fixed
My number, its even in my employee number at work, AND my social
Its just strange
optional rewards are the two different helmets
Tier one is progressing. 2% in the last hour.
phase 5 is title, decal, banner
There are mixed opinions on it either being a timer, or the amount needed is just massive.
Well, ill check tomorrow and see what its at, because thats the only thing i have left that i can do since the last 3 things for ohase 5 are locked
phase 6/final is the other body parts
the timer part is part of any community effort
most of the time is not active
but there's a timer in the game files
There is no actual phase 6, it's just a run down of the other 5 and total stats.
its so in the worst possible case it still gets completed
but any community effort makes it faster
And fair enough.
yeah i know. i just checked.
i was responding for the rewards thing
Right now finding an unoccupied system to settle down in to offset the lag of the more populated systems.
I did.
Cant on Xbox.
These are my graphic settings. There is no lowering settings.
Multiplayer can be turned off yes, and it is off at all times.
turn off motion blur i guess
I am using the older xbox 1 as well.
Either way this is what I am doing, cuz there are so much clutter in the more populated systems I just crash all the time.
Hell if I know, I only have Xbox.
well do any other xbox games have graphic settings?
uh scrap or upgrade a sentinel interceptor?
exped peeps have made a lot of nanite farms but I'm thinking about spending it
How does nanite farming work
not like you need nanites
I normally don't have to adjust the graphics on my other games, so I rarely touch that setting. But normally yes, there is a bit more control.
I'm on my third interceptor I found in the wild but it's got a nice color and I don't feel like activating a portal to find an already-found interceptor
super odd
Either way, finding a nice low traffic area to settle down. This ice planet I found is quite nice.
this is neither here nor there but whenever i look at your icon i can only see excalibur
hang on ill get a pic
Wait is singularity possible to be finished now?
no
How come people have the badge then?
how come i cant see Resonance amplifier installation ? does anyone have the same problem ?
do you have the blueprint
I know what warframe is, lol.
where do you get one ? in anomaly ?
If you zoom in those, those horns are wings.
Interacting with the role
Oh ok
hmm
just keep doing the other things
do every other thing you can
oh i think i remember actually
nada gave it to you
she has to send you out first
also its on your multi tool
so make sure you're checking that
Fr1sbie, you on pc or mac?
That is probably why.
yeah i was there
its cause you dont have the bp
thats why i tell you to do every other thing you cna
i can open nms for the fourth time in the last 20 minutes i guess
to check which one gave the reward
hang on
also, do you play?
yeah its the sentience echo one
thats currently bugged
Lately no. But this server is for No Mans Sky, not that. So I won't discuss it further.
but you should be able to get the blueprint
yo, how do i compete the grand divergence milestone? was watching a video and he got some knowledge stone-type icon, but i cant see it
i aready talked to nada
nada should send you to go to that stone
it is
oh wait nvm i just had to pin it from expeditions tab
So that makes sense then
sentience echo is one of the parts of phase 5
doesnt really matter if we're not impeding conversations about the expedition
the progress of feeding the terminal is collective or individual?
and im fine with talking to 3 people at once
Collective.
collective, and currently bugged
Lol so i had to finish “The lifeboat” milestone to get it 
servers are down
damn
oh thats odd
If youre on console go ahead and turn them in.
Polo gave it to me
Just look at the discovery page and make sure online discovery service is active.
keep at least one
it makes it easier to see progress
just a qol thing
plus it might not even count
so our progress is now 70% Tier 1
is that right?
Yes.
!tier
@royal slate
!tier
@lime plume
oh dope
Whoops.
Same, its my baby 😄
ah cool
Either way I forgot to buy a damn door blueprint.
hey whats up with the nms icon anyway
in the middle there is obviously the atlas
the red orb thats three thirds hidden
but whats the diamond shape
I don't think that this game can count. I killed 3 mirror thingy giving things and I only got 2 mirrors out of it. :(
Did you get an anomaly item from the 3rd?
ahhhh
I noticed they drop a different item sometimes too.
fair then
It helps you find another one of those bases like the one you started out in.
More free gun/ship.
Should I keep uplaoding seeds? The timer has goen away. Is it a bug ?
cool
we dont know
servers are down
maybe it counts
maybe it doesnt
i dont think it does
I would advise against uploading more for pc and mac.
It is a community milestone, so probably wont count even when the servers do come back online.
if you're save editing its for naught anyway
So just hold onto them.
since it has an inside check
i believe it only counts for how many of the things you mined
so duping doesnt work either
They probably just capped how many you can give a day.
We don't really know how it works, they're not being all that transparent about it.
@ashen shore
Is it not possible to build any of the terminals during the expedition?
is this a bug ?
No, server is down for pc and mac.
ok thanks
HA! I KNEW Crystal Syphide would come in handy. :)
Yep, you need it for a blueprint.
got it ages back figuring it'd come into play :)
Hope you kept that crystalized heart too.
oh yeah.
Don't, use it yet
that's more out of: that's weird and I've not seen it before. Better keep it around.
It can be used to unlock nodes in sentient multi tools, which is a mistake I made. You also need it for a milestone blueprint.
If you want more to unlock slots, instead of using repair kits, gotta hunt corrupted quads.
Well you only need to keep one, do with the rest as you please.
Or just wait so you don't on accident.
It's one of the very last blueprints too, which is annoying.
i'll wait until they are necessary
I meeeean, as long as you strafe and make sure to stay at the edge of the big quad corrupted robots, then hearts are easy to get
Was hoping to get free blueprints from the terminals, but guess you can't in expeditions. Gotta go hunt down more salvaged data.
honestly if you stay to fight even a bit while grinding those mirrors you should come out with a few hearts
i've more radiant shards than I care to poke a stick at.
If you have a sentient ship, those shards power up pretty much everything.
I mean it's useful to have a ton cause most sentinal ship tech can be recharges with 1
yeah I know. kinda happy with the solar one so not sure if I want to use sentient one.
on my main save I have like... what, 5 ships? ... and all of them except the starter ship are sentinal lol
I managed to score an A class so it's tempting
they are so easy if you got a decent few mirrors
since you get a location every corrupted swarm clear
heck, I'd say grab one every time, even if it's C class
that was debunked
you can always scrap it for money
How so?
Sooo i can’t finish “Sentience echoe” ms because the servers are down, or i should just feed it with echo seed’s till it counts ?
there's no such cap in the code
Ah.
however there are checks everytime
wait like
another day
and something will happen
Oh ok
yeah, I mean just get a freighter or a base with storage boxes and just continue to collect echos
2% in an hour
Yeah, im like 2 ms off of finishing
wdym?
is it just pc that's affected or xbox as well?
we're all indirectly affected
how so?
biggest playerbase on pc and if us and mac are offline then you guys are handicapped
how?
oh that
so even if xbox would be fine
which it might not be
but even if it was
it would need to make progress equivalent to everyone else's combined numbers
Did they also figure out what that last milestone gives as a reward then? Not the optional ones, but the glitched main one.
72% its gonnna be a long day
Yea WK 1 Tier 1 done by Monday
im wondering how many Echo seeds did the T1 take?
Exactly 1 WK worth I think lol
Nor really helping xd
I know lol I was here all yesterday wondering the same thing
really wishing that you could cancel a landing sequence
Indeed that would be nice, especially when my ship wants to use a landing pad 200U away from where I actually want to land.
yup
or the landing signal to a landing pad vanishes at just the wrong moment
or when you twitch
gah. not enough fuel now.
what ship are you using?
Launch fuel? Pretty easy to make.
You do get a thing later from a milestone that lets it gradually refill.
it's ok. it was on 24%. let me lift off when it hit 26%
Check the milestones to see which one gives it, think it is during one of the later phases.
You can get it really early tho.
it's in phase 3, you need to collect 3000 nanites
im on 10.3k :)
Yeah, pretty easy. Especially if you scan all the critters on the very first planet.
yeah, and each shard can be refined into 50 nanites per, so if you really wanted to you could stay in the first system until you get that milestone
I take it as long as the server for PC isn't working properly and the echo mission progress just reports as "unkown" there's no use in actually trying to do anything rn? (i'd assume it won't contribute to the progress in any way at least) until the server issue is fixed?
So... I created a new save for the Expedition yesterday afternoon, and now when I load it it says the Expedition is over. I am on a different PC today, but as far as I can tell, it's up to date in Steam.... anyone have any idea WTH?
Pretty sure while its down you can't even hunt the echoes either.
Servers down.
well i just collected 10 of them so collecting them definitely works.
yeah Im collecting some as we speak, it's just the turn-ins and overall count that's affected I thought
I just remember people saying the device stopped working for them.
Sigh... up early on a Sunday and was planning on trying to crank through the Expedition today.... I guess I need a new plan.
27% more then were at Tier 2!!
guess i'll save my echo's until the problem is fixed just in case .
same
shame i already handed in 5 of them before realizing something was up.
Either way I got tired of the crashes, which seem to happen alot more during this expedition compared to my normal saves. So I'll be playing other stuff today. Good luck on the grind.
Hey um. Has the Expedition ended?
nop
Oh. When I try to make a new save. It says there is none happening right now.
if you're on pc there are server issues
Ah. Should I close and re-open the game?
That won’t help
wont help. likely chance is to join someone's existing game so as to force your save to be converted
I see... Would there be someone willing to help?
otherwise, wait until the devs wake up and fix things
! Tier
@surreal raven
I'm thinking it's going to readjust and be done Monday, but just speculation
ODS still MIA?
i'm thinking sleep soon. just wanna get my thingy sorted.
Yes
I do hope that, till then I will play in my main save
I need to research a colliding planet anyways lol
a wot?
did not think that that was something one would research
Pros of having some free times/being bored in no man's sky
are you trying to find one? or is this something new that one researches?
No no, I already found one I just want to check what happens nearby
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Also fun fact, pirates can spawn near them lol
pirates like to spawn
Like in the atmosphere near them
Finally set up on beginning planet
pirates can spawn on-world.
So Just to clarify... hand in 20 echo seeds a day?
Apparently
Cool thanks.
Does everyone start out with solar ships?
Any idea why no new expedition is shown on PC/steam? The game was updated yesterday. (Dk version atm)
Guess or do u know?
strong sauce of info
I was able to load an existing save
expeditions would be a separate server set as you don't want normal and expedition gamers mixing
K, thx
(that was an educated guess ;)
Been having a really tough time with the pilgrimage 1 part. Why is it so far? I've gone through at least 4 full tanks of hyperdrive fuel and still don't seem to be close to where I need to be.
it gets easier later
Here we go again
It literally seems endless
you'll get upgrades and can skip a lot of star systems
nah. it's not.
but if you've money, at each place you stop upgrade your suit storage.
I know that but how does it help finding the randevous point?
help?
So far I've gone through all the fuel the game gave me and made 3 extra
anyone know when this is going to be fixed? 😦
after the weekend in the relevant parts of the world
thx
Good morning, friends! I’m in the Rendezvous 5 star system, trying like hell to get to the Atlas for Prayer IV, but I can’t find it for the life of me! Does anybody know where it is? I’ve talked to Polo and he said he gave me coordinates, and I don’t see crap in the galaxy map. I’ve been looking for 20 mins.
<—- 🤷🏻♀️
I am here
i've just recently done it, lemme get in the game and check it out
@vital spire Above I see some saying the Expedition is reported as over. Does the game go ahead and convert the save? Is there danger of that such that it's best to avoid even touching the Expedition save until there's a green light from folks?
is ODS back?
Nah you don't need to worry about that, it will still play the expidation it just wouldn't allow you to the community event
Nope
wait, did you flag the milestone in log ?
If you mean this, then yes.
Where you getting this info from
If anyone happens to be near an Atlas and wouldn’t mind adding me so I can jump to you, my Friend Code is:
N5VN-J1F2-RR6EE
Maybe I’ll reboot the game. I think this is a glitch
ayo any update on that phase 5 shizz?
Nah, stilll stuck on Echo
Dang it. It won’t show me a path to the Atlas station? What the actual ffffffig-Newton?!
sigh my ocd of wanting it complete is crying
it should show you in the map, where to go. there's no way it bugged out :/
phase 4 atlas station?
It did before, now it won’t 😭
rr the game maybe ?
Yeah, I’m trying to finish Prayer IV
phase 4 atlas is different, you need to talk to nada/polo first
it says in the description you need to finish one of the other milestones first before you can proceed
I did close and reboot the game. And I DID talk to those guys. I’m about ready to strangle them both. polo said he’d provide coordinates, but nothing on the damn map
I’ll try talking to those jerks again. lol
there. 16k nanites. forgot to collect on some worlds.
breathe and look at the other milestones-- complete the rest of phase 4 and then you get an atlas waypoint again
still reports of people not being able to start the expedition?
Guess I’m hunting for more sentinal ships then
I don’t think it’s possible to continue without interacting with the Atlas first
Hello, hows the %?
yes it is, it requires those other 2 on the bottom left iirc
14% overall I think
So we unlocked something, no?
Least that what it says on my screen
Not yet
It said something would happen at 13%
Anyone able to give me some lubricant in the expedition?
As I can’t find stuff to make some
I can in few is it just lub ya need
Depending on where youre at, you might find a gamma weed and faecium farm
And hydraulic wiring if that’s ok
Ok
One sec
It used to all be about lubricant
I’ll try the Nada’s lead. At least that popped up on front of me.
Hydraulic wiring I’ll look see if I have it
Back in 1.1
How come no one wants to tell me where you finding this information from? Is one of those things that I need to figure out myself because it will give me a advantage of so not nice
That was the easiest $$ maker - lube
don't forget the weekend quicksilver grab at the anomaly.
12 killer plants aren't hard to find.
What’s the first system called?
As I can’t find the base in the list
Dalnye : Ahei XV (starting planet)
Gimme sec trying find it
!tier
Ok thanks
@ashen shore
@stoic wing how much lub ya need as gotta craft aload
it requires 2 for MS
Ms?
Milestone
@earnest furnace what planet are you on as I am in the system
The first one ya encounter the sentiant thihgs desonce ones
has anyone seen ANY other players during expedition?
???
Or is Multi player that broken?
the tip on the quest pop up says to complete Grand Divergence first
I’m assuming pc servers are still busted
On my way thanks for the help
Hmmm ok I am trying to look as there is so many bases
Omg so annoying
I’m unsure if ya can see it but my frieghter (xeno flagship ) is above it in orbit
Also does anyone need salvos?
Where do I find a quad servo?
☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻
I do😅
I shall try to look
Planet AheiXV look for Xenos help out base

sweet. 1800qs and an extra hyperwarp core
Nice
Although I forgot how much resources ya get from destroying sentinal flagships
wooooooo I think I found you
That was me :)
well, that took an hr longer than expected. r4 system here I be. :)
There ya go @stoic wing
Thank you very much
No worries
!tier
@craggy sun
time to sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowly enter the anomaly and buy a suit upgrade.
Do you have a navigation data I can borrow?
borrow? :)
I am not sure if it is it be on my flagship gimme sec
Well use
Ok thank you kinda sir
I gotta check in there anyways ha
the anomaly needs those airport buggies to get around in
Yeah
I don’t unfortunately thought I did my bad
It’s ok didn’t worry thanks for the help anyways
What's the tier stage
?
!tier
@steady idol
I need to catch up then lmao
Stage 4 tomorrow. woo.
I'm not even finished phase 4 yet 😬
was it confirmed anywhere the 20 seed per day?
Still working on stage 2
\
Nope, it's just a suggestion based on the Leviathan expedition community mission findings
!tier
@modest garnet
is ||Sentience Echo|| bugged?
I think I only have this left. Even completed ||Prayer 5||.
Congrats, you made it to the Community portion of the Expedition! Currently, it's wonky due to the ODS being down for PC players and it's not showing progress for them.
ok. Am I supposed to be able to unlock the 5th Phase? Or do I have to wait for ODS to recover?
Currently the Expedition is not completable until the Communtiy portion is complete! If you're on PC, keep any Echoe Seeds you have and don't submit more as due to the ODS being down, it doesn't track your submissions.
damn
oh. ok.
Man, I can't spell today! The unfortunate side effect of waking up an hour early.
was just about to ask about that
I might do a pirate hunt around system as I see alot of ppl being hunted by pirate s
But hey, bright side we're at 78% on Tier 1! We're getting there!
this is a spoiler channel, i dont think you need spoiler text in the spoiler channel
i can safely offer seeds on series x right? i have about 30 on me and dont want them to go to waste
As far as I'm aware as a fellow Xbox player, yes! It appears the ODS is fine for us atm!
cool
im jelly 🙂
i didnt realize how out of order you could go with the milestones, until i completed a phase 3 milestone while in phase 2
also, is there a way to upload many seeds at once? or can you only do them one by one
yeah one at a time
dang
Yeah, one at a time.
I'm sure HG is already aware of the ODS being wonky so hopefully as the weeks opens up on Monday or Tuesday, the ODS will be stable again for PC folk!
community goals are platform wide as well right?
yes, its overall as a whole
ok thanks.
so the community goals are blocking our ability to clear Phase 5?
unfortunately
ok guess will take a break then.
i'ma upload a bunch today. cuz it'll never get done if the whole community takes a break lol
doesn't register for PC 😦
the growth is from the consoles only. or like the conspiracy theorists think it's actually on a timer and nothing effects it
I could hop on my Xbox Game Pass and start an expadtion save there🤷♂️
!tier
@willow pine
doesnt look good
Yeah not logging in today. If they botxh this completely they should just hand out the rewards. Not running this again
Makes it worse is there quiet
Yeah
probably because its the weekend
They kind of didn't do so well with the update release
I usually only hop into this game for expeditions and new updates then dip out, but am I right in thinking this is the worst thing HG has released in awhile?
no
It's just an arbitrary timer that screws people with limited time stuff
this is the third time
No, Waypoint was
yep
What was waypoint?
not an exped but the 4.0 update
Waypoint, then 2 updates that bricked the game on Steam Deck on launch lmao
but even then it was nowhere as bad as 2.0
Game was SD verified... until it wasn't
Oooof
Oh, I remember the backlash that came afterwards
2.0 bricked the game for so many players across all devices, some for months
I really only started playing when pirates got revamped with outlaw
and a lot of people hated 2.0 for barely adding new content for them and lamented that HG focused too much on VR people when there was barely any audience for them
81% looks like it sped up some
if tier 1 isnt when it unlocks, im probably gonna just use a mod like consumerism
I am actually contemplating to make another expedition save to get the other option without using the reset point
I am tempted to do it on my Xbox account as well( currently using my steam account)
what other option?
the helmets? because so far i cant even get the helmets
Eh it's for later when it actually starts to work
also the ship and jetpack skins unlock but you can't use them yet... this update is a cluster
What do you mean by that?
Plays great on mine, done 90% of this expedition + base and freighter building on mine
there's a jet pack thrust cosmetic and a ship thrust cosmetic that unlock during the expedition. i have both unlocked but the jetpack one doesn't appear among the others.. not just as locked but completely does not exist in the thrust skin selection. and i can't build the ship one
Weird, it should be unlocked
oh it is.. they just arn't implemented
like.. i can go on another save. and claim them but they still don't show up
I'm guessing this is as far as I can go until the community thing has progressed!
Did you check at the very last
yep
!tier
@worldly cargo
The new jetpack thrust cosmetic is bugged, it overlaps with the glitch thrust
Woah
as in when i finished? the thing no one can do?
Are servers back up?
they are not
So tier 1 in what?... a week? 😄
No like the last section in the cosmetic part
as hopolongt said looks like it's glitched and taking the same slot as the glitch thrust... which is fitting
Does the O and D in ODS still stand for offline and dead?
it stands for "OH DAMMIT!!!"
heh
Ah, so it's not just me then. I've been tearing my hair out checking everything I can think of on my end.
No, unfortunately it's everyone
Once I hit phase five I am going to stop
Is there some contest going on
!tier
@wraith bough
Wait how did you the one after the group one
some people lucked out and it bugged and randomly finished without them doing anything. so they have it "done"
Can anyone confirm for me once the expadtion is over the save will get converted into a normal one but we keep all of our items?
always does
That works out great for me😁
except no one can finish properly atm so it's a moot point
Oh wait so I can’t make this yet
you can't do one of the parts of phase 5 because it's a community mission and the servers are down. so as of this moment the expedition is unfinishable
So I can’t get the crystalized heart for the image I showed
you can do everything up to the one mission i mentioned
You get those from killing the "spider" sentinels.
Gamma/Faecium Farm phase 4 system
Cheers.

Although the current objective I'm on is reading as "Unknown" I'll keep plonking my Echo Seeds into the Prime Terminal.
!tier
@dreamy furnace
slow but steady.
I'm not currently showing a progress bar, do I need to submit another echo to see the bar again?
That comes from the crashed Sentinal ships!
The heart comes from killing the corrupted Sentinel spiders, the bigger ones
Crashed starships give you the Hyaline Brain
I got a heart from a ship too, it had both
The ship usually has 3 things in it to loot, the heart, the brain and some shards
Nope, not the heart, the Salvaged Glass
fastest method i've been doing is put a base on the corrupted planet, go to the anomaly one; then teleport to your base. as long as you don't leave the planet you can then just warp back to the anomaly instantly
The salvaged glass is one of the things in it yes, but ships drop 3 things
Can somebody share a system with the Atlas?... 'cause I'm stuck 😦
Yeah that's what I've been doing too.
i feel bad for the people that are still new to the game and jump right into the expedition lol the struggle
You can warp back to the anomaly?
yes. if you have a base on a planet, you can use the teleporter in the anomaly to that base. as long as you don't leave the planet, you can warp back to the anomaly the same method as how you pull up the galaxy map n stuff
Check google,
You can also share 1 save's galaxies you've been to with another save using this
Or YouTube
The game that keeps on giving 😉
Expeditions are a lot easier than normal play tho
And let me play with things I haven't actually gotten into yet with my main save
in some ways yes
yeah expeditions are easier if you already posses a basic knowledge about the game
The rate at which you can get through the expeditions is exponentially greater with higher knowledge of the game
!tier
@mental bough
Thanks gunts
the mythical progress bar
We will hit 100% of Tier 1 today 🧠
The Official progress bar can be found here:
https://galacticatlas.nomanssky.com/poi/sentience-echo
Yes!!
bigger question is why there are 5 of them
i been wondering that too....
Because... GRIND GRIND GRIND. 😄
Keep ppl in game as gaming figures looks good on there part
I like it this way. The last Expedition I had done in 6 hours. Nothing left to do except speed runs.
This way the Expedition will last for days and we still have rewards coming!!
I love it ❤️
Most probably only one of few that do
Probably
i mean from the pure psychological standpoint it's nicer to see it dived into chunks, so you think the progress is faster or more "bearable", but do those tiers unlock anything other than... progress? 😉
Rewards we don't have yet
Yes, great isn't it!!!! 💃
@ashen shore
An Expedition that lasts for more than 6 hours ❤️
lol
I mean... it did take less than 6 hours of actual playtime
Now we are just waiting for things to work 😂
if you're a hardcore player, you can probably do this even in about an hour
think i saw some vidoes online
Not this Expedition 💃
progress bar still bugged ingame? 😛
A typical "OOOOOPS" from the developers.....
It's not really a mistake
There is no connection to servers
So it can't retrieve the value
I think Online Discovery Services, ODS, is still down for Steam players
It could have been handled better tho
yeah it looks like it's not converting a "tag" into an actuall number, because it doesn't get the number from the servers
brb gonna submit this at the zendesk
For console it's fine
It's a pc server problem
Yeah, it is. Can't do the weekend hub job either because of ODS
it also shows that the discovery system is still down for steam
Yes, it's only Steam

and hows the jetpack trail reward? fixed yet? There was some problems with that too
Was there a game update to fix it?
Can I do the weekend missions on my normal Xbox save to see if that helps?
Any platform but Steam
Let me get to phase five and sawp over then
Was there a problem? I have it working right now
Makes sense to me. Seems like everyone else got a late start due to something or other, Steam has to get bashed too... 😉
yup, some people across the internet, including me, don't have it in their personalizer. I've made sure to check if i actually clicked on redeem button in the menu and look for it on the quicksilver merchant. No luck
i think it might be as someone else said it, that the new trail overlaps with the old (orange) reality glitch trail
it looks WAY cooler with the most recent jetpack you get from the sentinal stuff
probably if you haven't had it unlocked before (the orange one) it could cause a bug now
I use the Leviathan cape anyway, so it almost doesn't show up 😂
i usually have a cape too but i switched once i noticed it barely even shows with a cape
yeah i was wearing a cape for some time too
after some time you need to mix things up 😉
sompared to other developer's oopsies, this is nothing
compared*
wait community exploration is on expedition just or on other saves as well ?
expedition
well then apparently i cant do it xD nada doesnt let me :/
yeah i've noticed it too, tho i never really tested it to be sure 🙂 Seems like when you on the FPP camera, you can jetpack a little easier
and longer
what do you mean?
Thats why I hot keyed camaera change 😄
I cant do them, i dont even see the bar in game
Ahh not talking about jetpack. I mean hit and reload/analysis
You go doing zooooooooom
Dont even have community research in the log
ah alright
server issues going on right now
well others apparently have it
Are you playing on Steam?
Online Discovery Services are down for Steam
I don't suppose there is anywhere they update the status of ODS repairs for Steam other than actually being in game, is there?
I no longer see the progress bar for the online milestone, is this an intended change?
Oh yeah on steam, so no helping from me then i guess
Not yet, sorry
Are you playing on Steam also?
Us steam users just freeloading on the community part.. 😄
yea, I see some people talking about steam issues so I'd assume that's it
Yes, Online Discovery Services are down for Steam players
Sadge
Ok so I'm stuck on the final step, it says consult with Nada but nada really isn't doing anything after the initial convo
All other platfroms have ODS, just not Steam
94% almost there
!tier
@arctic beacon
Tier 2 unlocks Steam ods
They locked us out because if pc players where able to contribute, this would have been done by friday 🙈
Maybe this was payback for the console players getting a late start
That's my theory
The 8 GB was an emulator for the mac.... 😄
Strange question, I'm sure, but anyone have a list of the rendezvous planets? Kind of feel like going back and dropping helpful bases now that I'm basically maxed out again. 😂

Perfect, danke.
Yw
are pc players still disconnected from ODS?
sounds like it 😭
Steam players are
Xbox game pass is not
First tier almost complete, we are so close!
I see 94%
going alot quicker today
If we complete Tier 1 and ODS is still down for Steam Players 🥵
well, that sucks... i guess not having any official acknowledgement of the issue from HG makes this something that probably flew right under their noses...
Either non pc players actually got into the task, or the automatic progress from HG got tweaked 😂
It may be a Steam issue. Something HG cannot controll. I do not know
can't have gone under their radar.. we've yelled at them on twitter and other places
doesn't track.. cause gog version also is having issues
Do y’all think something is going to happen once we hit T2?
supposedly when we hit t2 we can continue and finish
Free modules after each seed turned in 🤞🏻
what is the ODS? is that why I can't make progress with the echo seeds?
The ODS is the Online Discovery Services, the online componet to NMS.
the consoles hit tier 3, and then the pc servers come up with a message from HG "Because of the sync problems we are going to roll back all progress. Sorry for the inconvenience. Have fun." 😄
Imagine lol
ah damn thats unfortunate, i've been having a blast going through the expedition
SMH.
its my first one so i thought i was doign something wrong at first
No, it's not you
!tier
@granite ibex
💃
this is my second expedition, but this is the first one where i have gotten very far.
the previous expedition, Utopia, was a thing that i regret not doing to completion, but i just did not have the enthusiasm for NMS back then because of a burnout i was having with the game...
At least you got to see it. I totally missed Utopia. Didn't even hear about it 😂
This is my first expedition.... and what an introduction to it. 😄
I had the game around when utopia was released but i didn't have a reliable computer to play it, since the one I'd bought started to spontaneously combust on me
You have my condolences
This going to be the first one I am going to finish
They're usually not plagued by awful timegating
Yeah, oof yikes
They also tend to be a tad more stable than this, just a bit.
so that tier thing i saw a bit earlier, whats that for? a global tracking count for all the echo seeds everybody has contributed so far?
Fortunatly i am an old gamer.... Bugs at launch isn't new to me.... They are sadly the norm now. Its only a matter of HOW buggy.... 😄
the tier progress is different than the upload progress
is it "Unknown" for anyone else?
No, i was talking about the tiers of the community mission
also, if i remember right i was playing the game all the way before the creatures overhaul in the Companions update, but i had to start a new save because my old one refused to load fully, resulting in me getting stuck in the loading screen...
even more bad is that i had no idea what an expedition meant at that time, so i did not play them...
PC ODS is down so Steam players are experiencing issues with the Expedition.
:(
steam AND gog
yea it sucks but i think it's gonna get fixed soon
Oh and Gog? Ouch
Ohh that's a good point. Any gog player that can confirm?
"soon" TM. soon would have been within hours.. we're going on 2 days
oh shit
!tier
@mint glacier
as someone pointed out even if it hits 100 for tier 1. PC players are S.O.L>
I’m new to the game and started doing expedition with my friend and I, we are 12 hours in and already on phase 5 
congrats.. now you'll be stuck on phase 5 for the next 5 weeks
The haddest part of the quest was the stupid gamma weed
so much for master race 
there was a dude on the planet that had a farm of them set up for everyone to snag making it easier
good, we are getting slow progress even without PC players... i know that is not as good as it seems considering the fact that ODS decided to soil its pants and refuse to cooperate at the exact wrong time.
How come? Because i have extra seed for the altas
i got 200 gamma weed from a milestone i think, so i was like, ok 200 more, that's not the worst
and then i realized i only made one and had to get 400. that was not fun.
Yea i went to his base he was completly out of energy and no energy was connected to anything 😅
*600
yeah, 600 total
!tier
@arctic beacon
dude just look up
!
So i was traveling and these stupid purple pulsating ball in space gave me 2 of the seeds
Idk if i broke it or meant to happen lol
I just finished making the lube and now i've gotta go get emeril cos the milestone is in a green system
was it named something like "Doge's Lubricant Farm"? i ask because i built one very small unfinished lubricant farm on one of the rendezvous planets (the one with constant rad storms).
If you talk to them as a civilized person, they give you one
THen you blow them up and you get another one
