I made a smol base at a Portal in the final rondevous poind (I cant spell), I named it, Portal Base EXP 5 also made a Galaxy's Edge on a planet around 1,016,000 where I couldnt choose any stars any further out (I uploaded em so they would appear on the teleporter list)

if you need to check the progress, just scroll up

So how we do stuff to count for this? Its said address but i’m confuse is it a cord on different planets?

[wanton lark]

by just adding echo seeds in the anomaly

[ivory sail]

The one in the hub or the altas?

[wanton lark]

hub

[ivory sail]

Oh is that why the system said 1.5% last night

[wanton lark]

where nada tells you to upload the first one

[ivory sail]

🤔

When i put it in first time it said system power is 1.5%

[bronze crater]

community thing

[ivory sail]

Oh thats what ut was

I thought it was like a machine that we have to wait to generate power

😅😂

Like we have to wait 10 mins for the first seed stuff

[bronze crater]

xD

[ivory sail]

I started playing this mission at 7pm and didn’t get off till 7am

👀

[wanton lark]

thats how i was with it on friday-saturday lol

[frosty pine]

10 am to 6 am here 👀

[ivory sail]

I hope we get something good out of this

[wanton lark]

the NMS website already shows what all the rewards are

[mellow badge]

I just want the final final reward of the Construct appearance parts for player model >.>

[ivory sail]

Lol

Are we able transfer stuff over to the main save?

[frosty pine]

The rewards unlocked are not save specific

You can claim them on your other save right now if you want to

[ivory sail]

I see

But what about the multi tool upgrades and stuff?

[frosty pine]

You would need to wait for the expedition to finish

At that moment the save file converts to a normal save

[ivory sail]

I see 🙂

[tawny wharf]

Anyone know if the seed thing is fixed on pc yet?

[ivory sail]

I’m just waiting for my friend wake up and him and i go back in and beat up sentinels since it love to target me, and try do stuff

Like 80% of my hyper wrap i got targeted

Inside of expedition mission

[frosty pine]

You should change your mindset

It's not them targeting you

It's you targeting them

[ivory sail]

I never targeted them

I was warping so i can do mission and kept popping up sentential interception inbound and i’m like not again

[frosty pine]

I do whenever i want to do piracy in peace. I just blow em up, get the freighter to appear, disable it, and leave it there so no more sentinels appear while i wreak havoc with the trader frigates 😂

I can smell it

[severe whale]

i'm hoping when it cracks tier 1 it'll still update to letting us move forward on pc

[worldly cargo]

are steam servers back up? do my seeds count?

[chrome garnet]

20 minutes the way it is rising

anyone else had issues not seeing the expediation on new patch? sister was gonna play it with me but it shows no expediation for her is live

Online services not working on pc

[mint glacier]

alright then, feel free to start sniffing that progress.

[chrome garnet]

You're on Steam, ODS is down

[worldly cargo]

already at it chief 🫡

[severe whale]

not just steam also gog

it's PC period

[worldly cargo]

bwah

have we been able to confirm if pc contribution to seed progress counts

[mint glacier]

very well, just try not to get addicted to it 😆

[worldly cargo]

again you're a bit late there

I done been addicted

[frosty pine]

No way to confirm it. The counter moves so slow that you couldn't notice.

[worldly cargo]

well daily contribution cap is only 20

[frosty pine]

But if all the online stuff doesn't work, then it makes sense for the seeds to not count

[bronze crater]

Depends if your ODS is down

[worldly cargo]

so you wouldn't notice either way

have you already beaten the thing

[worldly cargo]

what

[arctic beacon]

expedition

[worldly cargo]

no one has beaten the expedition it's locked behind a community mission

the final phase has milestones that are locked I suppose I should say

[oblique thicket]

Noone can beat the expedition, because it is locked behind a community mission, which is broken, and we have radio silence from Hello Games...

Is ODS up for them?

[worldly cargo]

it's almost to tier 1 soit's not broken, just the pc servers are down so it doesn't show if you play on pc

[oblique thicket]

Maybe don't launch immediately before a weekend and then have your shit crash?

[gloomy grove]

what hello games is doing is far from radio silence

obviously you've never played a valve game

[worldly cargo]

or a nintendo game lmao

[oblique thicket]

LOL. Fanboying about incompetence.

[frosty pine]

It was working tho

I just went poof on friday's night

[cunning crescent]

Sorry if I'm annoying again. A friend of mine has also now reached where we are all at Phase 5 Milestone 3 Echo of Sensation. I explained to him that this task is community related. And then it went on. Well, he doesn't understand it because it doesn't seem to be in the task. After all, you should look for the object on a planet with the visor and the scanner... In other words, he asks what he should look out for in particular because he's been dashing over the planet for what feels like 12 hours and is searching and searching...and doesn't really find anything appropriate . I admit I can understand him there somewhere. The question is also, do you only find the sensation echo when a certain percentage of the community reaches a said point? Or are you actually looking for an object in a haystack of a dissonant world... sorry if that sounds weird but thanks for your replies. Best regards...

[worldly cargo]

also there is a daily contribution cap we believe is 20 per account

you can get the seeds using the steps @frosty pine mentioned on any planet marked as having corrupt sentinels

[chrome garnet]

10 minutes or less

[worldly cargo]

then once it hits 100 we have to wait for them to update it

like actually switch it over to tier 2 and activate whatever is unlocked by tier 1

[craggy sun]

We don’t even know if anything happens at 100% yet

[arctic beacon]

Could be automated

[worldly cargo]

that's a silly thing to say

[worldly cargo]

in the past we normally have to wait once it hits 100 for them to change it over, there's a small in between period but it's short

pc servers are down so pc doesn't count towards goal and contribution cap is presumed to be 20 per day so anything you contribute past that likely doesn't count

but yes lol

[arctic beacon]

Hold on

why are there five tiers

[worldly cargo]

let's get a little bit of hype in the channel yeah?

doesn’t really matter though

[mild jackal]

how many seeds do you have to offer for it to complete that particular mission?

[wanton lark]

keep uploading echo seeds , sentient slave!

[arctic beacon]

I mean

Tier 1 might finish the milestone

but we might need all for bonus rewards

it's very possible nothing will happen until tomorrow

At least you have switch too.

I only have PC

And I haven't even started the expd yet.

[vale kayak]

im on PC

[worldly cargo]

I just want it on the record that saying nothing will happen relating to tier 1 being complete is the silliest thing to say

[languid creek]

Don't worry guys. We'll all be on the same page once they get the servers back up and have rolled back any progress done until then. 😄

[arctic beacon]

Exactly

[worldly cargo]

switch doesn't have exp at all!!!

[arctic beacon]

Why else would there be tiers

[neat latch]

Exactly why I haven't started the expd yet. I will start when all platforms will receive the update and servers will be online as well, so that I may not have any issues whatsoever 🙃

[worldly cargo]

well shucks it'll be over by then

[neat latch]

||then I save edit the rewards. Hehehe!||

[wanton lark]

the fact switch even has NMS at all is a feat in itself lol

[arctic beacon]

Idk if this is obvious but is that punishable?

[worldly cargo]

no definitely not

hg don't care

not a bit

anybody get anything from tier 1 being complet yet

[worn kindle]

It just changed over to tier 2 for me

Nope

[drifting linden]

Odd that it has tiers but no real reason for it

[north crypt]

maybe things start unlocking at tier 2? (im not coping im not coping)

[drifting linden]

Lol yeah we'll have to see. Would be cool to get ARG stuff at each tier but tier 1 being completed for a lil with nothing going on isn't very promising

[north crypt]

i hope so.

[alpine basin]

plz help with a expedition milestone

Im stuck

[north crypt]

which one?

[alpine basin]

Phase 5

How many seeds do i have to upload

[severe whale]

congrats you're at the end of the expedition

there is no way forward

because REASONS!!!

[north crypt]

oh this one. its community based. its gonna be a while until its unlocked for everyone

everyone is stuck there

just upload a few seeds a day and do your part soldier!

[alpine basin]

I upload about 15 seed. And nothin happened🤣

[north crypt]

yeah, with all the communities efforts, we only got a fifth of the way there

[earnest furnace]

I think the blanked out one is the crimson helmet option

[north crypt]

there are three of them

[north crypt]

as far as im concerned, im still helping

[teal flicker]

Well I managed to find a paradise planet near one of the expadtion systems

[severe whale]

which also means anything you upload to it isn't being saved.. meaning we are making no progress tward the thing

[north crypt]

maybe itll get synced when they fix it

cant know either way

[teal flicker]

Still

[severe whale]

we'll just get the unlock everyone else did.. but we are doing exactly... 0.. for anything.. just a waste of time

why lie lol

[severe whale]

it did let me collect a thing. but the thing looks glitched it says "??" for a value

so i didn't save and just closed the game

[slate mountain]

Speaking of Switch, sure would be nice if this expedition made its way to switch soon

[severe whale]

nintendo put their foot down about how unplayable it is on switch.. what with the crash's and stuff that they won't let the expedition cert till that's fixed

[slate mountain]

That surprises me precisely zero

[radiant lotus]

Why did Interceptor even go through in the first place if it broke the switch port

God Sean is this truly your envisioned story moment.

everything about this entire game is grinding...

oh also btw, are sentinel ships rare?

[shut wing]

But an expedition timegated behind mindless grind is lel

if pc people weren't allowed to mod or duplicate, then it would be 100%

There's no need to mod or duplicate, the game literally allows to skip portions of grind.

No one on Steam or Gog could start an Expedition

[severe whale]

you have to use normal visor now and look for them that way

[winter rover]

Analysis visor stopped detecting sentience echoes... is that normal? Do I need to keep exploring?

[severe whale]

you need to use normal visor. and look for a spawn point for them

[ashen shore]

they are just often frustratingly hard to find

[severe whale]

sometimes at spawn points you find 1.. or up to like 6

[winter rover]

Yeah I'm using this

[severe whale]

i found 6 yesterday at a spawn

[ashen shore]

theres one there

at the bottom left

[winter rover]

oh lmao true I didn't notice it immediatly

but why isn't the sweep scanner finding it

[maiden tusk]

Probably out of range

[frosty pine]

I don't even use the visor

[severe whale]

that was only for the first one

[winter rover]

Oh well, maybe I got unlucky for a bit

[winter rover]

Makes sense

That's what I also thought

[frosty pine]

Just run straight north, and they just pop up in the compass

[winter rover]

Oh yeah also I have an issue where the sentience echo just doesn't show up, it eventually does, maybe?

[worldly cargo]

so are pc servers back up now?

[winter rover]

Like...

[frosty pine]

You scan next to it

And it appears

[winter rover]

oh, dumb me

man my brain is really tired

[frosty pine]

Yea, just like that. If you just keep running in a straight line, you eventually keep finding them. So i just jetpack/run/drive in a line picking everything without worring about the visor

[winter rover]

think I'll hit the bed soon and call in sick tomorrow, my brain's not doing too well between flu and vaccine

[frosty pine]

The compass has less range than the visor tho

[winter rover]

Yea

[hollow drift]

aw come on we still can't progress the expedition? :c

I'm finally caught up lol

Time to farm some sentience 😎

[deft lichen]

google be like

[teal flicker]

So am I

[wanton lark]

i mean theres FAR less duplicating of stuff on consoles so its not shocking that its going faster with pc people now

[bright scarab]

ngl, i kinda just piled up loads of echoes for when the servers were back 👀

[frosty pine]

This really depends on if there is a daily cap or not

[severe whale]

someone was trying to say that even though we couldn't see it. we were still contributing.. i said we weren't.. this proves my stance

[frosty pine]

Because farming seeds is super easy 😂

So it may either be people turning in massive amounts of seeds, or just that the population on pc that were holding back because of ODS is just turning in all the seeds together

[modest garnet]

I'm sad I didn't remember to photograph it but I found a cluster with 8 seeds

[hollow drift]

Idk if it's spoiler content but it contains the new helmet so uhhb

The lights don't disappear in first person

bit distracting

[frosty pine]

You can change to another log that at least show usuful information

Like the exploration one 👀

[hollow drift]

true true very true

but that's less distracting than the helmet wings 😭

[deft lichen]

rushing around collecting seeds while listening to eurobeat, good stuff

[frosty pine]

I was doing it by foot, but i just got tired of spamming hits, so i will just craft myself a nomad 😂

one, the servers were broken, two there's likely a daily cap :V

[frosty pine]

That's also speculation i guess

[steady idol]

I think the real crime here is that there's no actual incentive to this goal. No carrot as it were its just blatant time gating

Unlike other goals which release new QS items this is just, and to quote Palpatine, "Do it"

[drifting linden]

I know it was a joke but tier 1 reward was server fix lol

[royal slate]

hey so

apparently the server fix broke the checker

since for testing i added to my inventory a shit ton of echo seeds

[winter rover]

What's CR??/MO|S??L? Is it the ongoing Sentience Echo milestone?

[royal slate]

and i swear to god it went up by 2%

[drifting linden]

Yeah

[steady idol]

Meh, we're being too kind to this construct trying to find more seeds. We'd be better wiping the droids memory and reprogramming it

[royal slate]

when i saved in my ship

[frosty pine]

The % is not constantly updated on your end. It updates every once in a while

So you may see it jump %

[royal slate]

it updated exactly when i saved in my ship
which is what you need to do to upload the seeds for real

since it keeps you from just reloading your save to get them back

i uploaded many and handed around to others in the anomaly

if anyone wants to test it too go ahead

[frosty pine]

It's super easy to reload your save tho 👀

[royal slate]

its boring as shit but i think its doing something

[fervent canyon]

3 milestones cannot be completed without Sentience Echo, so yeah we gotta wait

[royal slate]

yes

thats the problem

when it erases your previous save

by going in your ship and exiting

[frosty pine]

It's called file backup and versioning 😂

[royal slate]

thats when the seeds are actually loaded

at that point just save edit

that is file manipulation

not loading your save

you are still cheating

[winter rover]

It's still a 23% for me

[royal slate]

23% overall

[winter rover]

I've deposited something like 20 seeds

[royal slate]

check the local progress

[royal slate]

@steady idol there was supposed to be a check in place

[drifting linden]

Especially if you find a few with autophages, those have multiple echoes

[frosty pine]

That's dupe glitch probably

[royal slate]

comparing with your mined crystal

[shy dagger]

Pretty sure someone dug in the game files

[royal slate]

no daily cap

but i think the check was disabled after the servers were reinstated

[steady idol]

Please... thats reserved for stasis devices. Ships are expensive

After the introduction of interceptors? Ships are free

which is the slowest possible pace

the timer is the end of the expedition afaik

[shy dagger]

The timer said it would end one week before expedition end, so nope

[royal slate]

(there's one for most community stuff, to get them in time with update cycles and shit)

[royal slate]

we could in theory finish today
we will definitely finish before then

it like adds a +1% whenever

[royal slate]

not saying we will, its obvious we wont

but just making an example

we work with the timer

not against it

[steady idol]

Still though
We shouldn't have had to

Not for a mandatory step

[royal slate]

oh no i agree i hate this

if it was just

first stage

id be cool with it

but ALL stages to complete the expedition? with no other rewards?

why even make it five stages?!?!

[royal slate]

(talking about this 2/5, not the phases)

[steady idol]

If they really want to integrate community goals into expeditions (which they should never do again) it needs to be started immediately in stage 1 where everyone can chip in immediately. Having it timegate the literal last step with no actual incentive is absolutely awful design

[royal slate]

imo they did perfectly last time

but then fucked it up right at the end

which im STILL super sour about

if you dont remember, community progress made it so you got free higher grade stuff

[analog relic]

Howdy fellas, thou have returned! I see we're at 19% of Tier 2, let's gooooooooo!

[steady idol]

What's effectively happened now is the people who started this expedition day one are being punished for starting ASAP whereas the people who start near the end are gonna have an easy pass to finish

[royal slate]

but right at the end... they started a community research thing

and broke the expedition

and everyone had their stuff restarted to grade C

from grade A and so very close to grade S

[steel sun]

I feel like that's kinda the idea...

[shy dagger]

Yeah ok. Tho its 100% like other 3 timrs

[steady idol]

Doesn't really encourage players to partake with expeditions though if that's the intended goal

[steel sun]

Stop a couple people from sprinting through the expedition in one day lol

[royal slate]

making it easier for late peeps ✅ ✅ ✅
making it impossible to finish if you started in a reasonable timeframe : [EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER]

[steady idol]

Why not though? It's not as if someone finishing it first affects others

[shy dagger]

I have 200 hours on my main save. Like, i know that whatever i will do on the exped save will be useless.

Tho i am happy they finally added the red freighter engine

[steady idol]

Most of us would rather smash out the expedition, get our loot and go back to our main saves with new stuff

[royal slate]

[steel sun]

Considering this exped has ARG elements, having people on a similar level of progress is kinda essential

[royal slate]

I LOVE BEING UNABLE TO PLAY THE GAME!!

[ivory copper]

[teal anchor]

I'm on the mission for part 4 of the expedition to present the leg to the atlas, but the target system doesn't have an atlas station. Is it bugged or do I need to reload?

[steel sun]

I guess the obvious answer is go back to your main save until the community goal is over

[steady idol]

Ultimately meaning the goal would take longer to complete if at all.

You can hardly justify a poor decision

[steel sun]

same here, i believe i just went to the target system and it then updated the galaxy map with a system with an atlas interface

[bright scarab]

you... can just do that for the most part, an just wait till it 100%'s while you do your main save 👀

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I spose it doesn't matter

oh wait

I think you need to see Nada first

then it will show you the next atlas station i believe

[teal anchor]

gotcha

that might be why

[steady idol]

I think you missed the point

We have to do the goal for the new stuff otherwise we run the risk of running out of time on the expedition because its a time limited event.

However, a majority of players are against the timegating factor because it simply isn't warranted nor well encouraged. All that's effectively happened is we have been artificially denied completion for no clear reason

[teal anchor]

there's someone body blocking nada so you can't select them lmao

time to forgo multiplayer for now

[worn kindle]

Cube is right

We all need to do this to get it done

[shy dagger]

I mean, i dont know how much new stuff there is. Its litteraly adding a bunch of planets wich only new thing is crystals, a new type of ship and the freighter encounter. I finished it in 1 hour

[ashen shore]

That was the last update, and it added a ton of stuff

but thats besides the point

[shut wing]

the only new stuff is that space encounter (I think?) and some lore

[steady idol]

It's the expedition rewards I'm on about. The new character customs in particular

[shut wing]

I don't profess to understand the lore implications of it all but still

[ashen shore]

NMS has always had community research missions, people just have an issue with this one specifically for some reason

[worn kindle]

I do want to be able to complete the expedition and get the rewards Even if it takes a while

Yesterday I was playing all day when I got the update and I'm already on phase five

I'm just waiting for the milestone sentence echo to be done

Soon...

That's another 30 seeds filed under B

What I'm getting from this is they set the total needed to account for all consoles and now that PC has ods again its actually moving

Which is a good thing but what an affect even one platform had on the progression

[pine nimbus]

wait
did the milestone complete?? are we still stuck on phase 5????

[steel sun]

most likely yeah. either that or its just catching up all the echoes which were submitted whilst servers were down

[steady idol]

Still stuck

[pine nimbus]

damn
i'm assuming it's phase 3-4, then

2, hopefully

[steady idol]

If it wasn't tier 1 then it'll have to be the whole thing

That's the bad news

[pine nimbus]

ah, [REDACTED]

[steady idol]

I'd love to be wrong about that though

But laterally thinking it'll be the full completion (which again, poor design there)

[bright scarab]

galaxy map, atlas station select, follow path (or use the same one you used 3 other times)

you can use the same one for all 5 :V

[teal anchor]

In the middle of fixing it, had no problems with 1-3

[bright scarab]

if you have the mats, you can do all 4 in one visit, then stop for 1 more after

doesnt have to be a separate interface each time

[royal slate]

i love adding stuff from expeditions to my main saves, its annoying it doesnt do it automatically tho

Not sure if you were here or have been here since when most people decided when to stop the grind for a day.
Levithan Expedition found out that the equated amount they could donate a day was x20 the item needed.
So that's what I and a lot of people have been doing daily, just donating 20

So everyday I just grind 20 seeds, donate and dont bother until the next day :V

[mint glacier]

i mean i think i donated about 26+ seeds tonight, but everything over 26 was done before midnight, so idk if that counts towards the limit since it was technically yesterday...

yeah, my dad has summer holiday for like a few weeks near the end of my summer holiday, just like all other adults who are still in their work-age (although my dad is kinda getting close to retirement in terms of age, not to mention his attitude towards doing work similar to his longest job (consulting firm stuff) means he is kinda unable to find a job because of the "you either get promoted and are an absolutely selfish person who does not care for their workers, or you get no job." style hiring practices used in jobs like that)...

wow, i kinda got more detailed with this stuff than i should, and in a non-offtopic chat as well... oops.

[arctic beacon]

Yes

[teal flicker]

All good, cabbie duties call me away anyway lol

[cursive bone]

Holy moly, 26% overall, you are awesome guys

It's def not a timed mission

[shy dagger]

Its not overalll

Its 26% of a phase

[woeful prairie]

it's 32% of tier 2 which is 26% overall

[quick stag]

Tomorrow, Monday, will be another drag, prolly the whole week, then by Friday we should be close to 40%

Already 34?

We're so fast

[teal flicker]

Going from what 16 percent like three hours ago

[finite rover]

all the pc users come back? :)

[teal flicker]

We got a response 👀

[elfin magnet]

I may or may not have gone out and farmed a bunch if echos, was happy to see it turn to 26% while putting echos in

[teal flicker]

We shale see

[elfin magnet]

But i did also put in like, 30 of them

[teal flicker]

Eh

[elfin magnet]

Wanted to see if it would stop me at a certain point, ive got 30 more, but i dont want to throw them away if they cap it

[dusky fiber]

The cap is 20 per day apparently.

[subtle meadow]

there is most likely a limit

that is probably 20 because why change it

[elfin magnet]

Lower than i was hoping, seeing as how i can get 60 echos in just a couple of hours

[dusky fiber]

Also just making sure, we need this full to progress to the next steps in the expedition correct?

[elfin magnet]

Lets say yes, because then if im wrong, we are pleasantly surprised

[dusky fiber]

True 😂

[subtle meadow]

it seems like it

I'm not happy with this but it'll probably be done in a few days

[elfin magnet]

I mean, we do have 5 weeks to do it

[dusky fiber]

Yeah I’m contributing my 20s

Just I wanna be full robo dude.

[analog relic]

I just put in my 20 for the day! Let's keep going!

[elfin magnet]

I was kind of hoping we could get another companion out of this, i just want to roam the galaxies with a flock of creatures

[finite rover]

FLY MY PRETTIES! FLY!

[median harbor]

I'm excited for construct parts because it can be used with any race and can be used like prosthetics

And I want to see if it makes gek tall

[analog relic]

I really hope that as soon as the construct parts are unlocked, we all go to the Anomaly and vibe as robotic fellas. It'll be the screenshot of all time.

[elfin magnet]

I just like getting everything, amd i want to know what the last 3 missions in phase 5 are, but ill just have to wait

[finite rover]

"Lube Farm" *snork*

[fringe agate]

Beeblebum didn't say he got contacted by HG.

[teal flicker]

Hummmmm

[fringe agate]

That API reverse engineering project is where he got his info.

[teal flicker]

Ah, ok

[quick ore]

What is the % ladies and gentlemen

@ashen shore

COMMUNITY RESEARCH

Tier: 2 of 5, Progress: 36%.

[quick ore]

Ayy

So we unlocked something?

Still just the same mission to donate echo seeds?...

[steep bough]

Hey, so I just uploaded a bunch of seeds but the community goal is still a ways away. Do I have to remain in game until the goal is completed to complete the ignite a convergence milestone or will it count regardless because I contributed. I have work and I dont want to shut down the game if leaving prevents me from getting the milestone

[normal sinew]

We believe as long as you submitted one, you're good!

It's a community leg of the expedition. So it's gonna take a few days at least!

Seems like lots of people have been uploading the past few hours though because we're screeching through Tier 2

[honest warren]

roughly how much is 1% translates to echo seed?

[mental bough]

So is this like a "one person at a time" thing or like, can you give it multiple?

[dusky fiber]

HOLY it’s going up fast.

[dusky fiber]

Most likely 200,000 - 500,000 who knows.

[honest warren]

oh geez

for 1%?

[dusky fiber]

I think so if we’re going by player base.

Correct me plz if anyone actually knows.

[honest warren]

that seems too much for 1%

[hollow shore]

You will not miss out by closing the game, don't worry about it. If you wish to follow along with the events taking place, just check back here once in a while, see what is up. This expedition will be available quite a while longer.

[median harbor]

So what happens if you dont..?

[mental bough]

Then boo you

[median harbor]

No I mean do you not get the completed milestone?

[mental bough]

Not sure

Are you willing to take that chance?

[median harbor]

I'm not saying I've submitted none im just curious

[normal sinew]

My guess is yes. I think you need to submit one seed.

[dusky fiber]

%1 every 10 minutes.

[normal sinew]

If you don't submit one, you probably don't complete the expedition.

[analog relic]

39%, we are GROOVING!

[median harbor]

If it remains like that, we will have it done by tomorrow

[teal flicker]

I did my two lol

[dusky fiber]

That would be nice. Though let’s not be greedy but hopeful.

[median harbor]

Thats why I said if, I doubt it will but I hope it does

[dusky fiber]

I mean they do have timers as always. So I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re stunted at tier 3.

[woeful prairie]

1% of each tier, not 1% overall

[ivory sail]

Whats tier 2 we need do?

same as tier 1

it's dumb

[dusky fiber]

%60 to go on tier 2.

[woeful prairie]

Which equates to roughly 60 hours left at that pace

[teal flicker]

[woeful prairie]

Of constant 1% (of a tier) per 10 minutes

[severe whale]

nah it dropped off
