Do we have to wait for tier 5 to actually unlock the last mission
doyou miss anything if you dont contribute to the phases
or does it just uinlock more progression you can get
bc gd i just dont have tier 1 then haha
no I don’t think so
Eh, we will probably be done by Tomorrow
what instant gratification does to a mf lmao
Yea actually probably, it’s going pretty fast now
Wait does anyone know how many echo things it needs to go up 1 percent?
no i don't think so
!tier
@gentle coral
Wow you guys worked hard while I slept
Almost tier three 💪
nods 😄
they connected the PC peeps
both the biggest part of the community number-wise
and the one that can edit the game's files easiest
That's funny, when it was slow at launch, everyone said cause no console
not to mention the most stable of all the builds imo
we just engaged the pulse drive on this
Then console got updated and pc was outta the game for a few days
read on reddit that someone searched thru the files and found that the community quest isnt a community quest but a timer quest, and it will autocomplete one week before the end of the expedition, is this true or is that person making shit up?
making shit up
both
They are not understanding what Unix time they found
or rather that its mistook as that
k
all community goals have an innate timer
that ensures we get to the goal
most are not turned on
but our progress is real
that one is just the slowest possible time
But considering the progress is going considerably faster now that we’re back in, we do at least have some impact
absolutely
and each time some smartass goes digging through the files and doesnt understand whats going on
our progress slows down because they start screaming about how its all useless
We get it, this milestone sucks, but it’s not rigged
basically
I assume there is a timer of course, as a failsafe to ensure we get the rewards by the end of the Expedition. We are having an impact but the timer is there just in case.
Indeed
I might have to restart the expedition cuz I don’t have a save point from before I bugged the last milestone
i made sure to restore because of that
space anomaly stop not having a floor challenge
but HG said it will be fine
Ah well, I got to that point in less than a day, so I can handle it
so i wouldnt worry
I need to put in my 20 Echo Seeds for the day, I'll probably do that later!
I’ll still do it on the off chance it doesn’t fix itself upon completion
i'll get on and put the rest of my seeds from my main save in in a little bit, im almost caught up on the second save file lol
sure
make sure you go do the other path
Cuz papa wants him that construct set
Really? I've heard it was either 20 to 50 Echo Seeds but I didn't want to put more in until we had some kind of answer.
so you have both expedition types
i hate reddit so much man
I did both lmao
It’s just I lost that save point when I did some echo hunting before the servers went down
rename that shit to the misinformation highway instead
i believed it but i heard abt the cap here, not on reddit
Yeah, I heard about the cap here so if it was info from Reddit orignally, we heard it here.
i did too but thats why i said paths
(You can get them both with one save, but for obvious reasons I just recommend waiting
not helms
Paths?
so you have purp bot and red bot
no the
That’s what I’m saying
the construct
Yes
not the rewards
YES BUT YOU DELETED ONE OF THE PATHS
when you chose one
ok hang on let me back up
!tier
Ah
@vital spire
WOOOO
to get one of the helms
3% left before we reach tier 3
lets gooooooooooooooo
you need to do one of two paths
you can do one path then reload save and do the other
but then your save will just have one of the paths at the end
if you're restarting, make sure your permanent path is different from the one you chose here
anyway
Yep
what if you were a croissant
Gotcha
I would choose the crimson path for the first one then the adlantid path for second
i chose crimson for my true path (second)
because i spent a lot of time building those fuckin seeds
my ass is not throwing them in the garbage now
Oh wait the second path is the true one?
Yes I know that
I will do the atlantid first then
Then crimson
does no one here understand how overwriting saves works or am i just bad at explaining
the crimson makes the construct alive
i cant believe ppl like atlas
the atlantid makes the construct the same as it was before
religion moment
Moment I start the new run, a normal sentinel spawns on the starting planet
exactly
Eh, i trust him more then the abyss
I just kill sentinels lol
look
That does not mean I like him
He screamed at me
yeah and i told it to stop being such a little bitch
yeah that was pretty cool
And loud
i really want to poke the atlas with a stick
do you think it would go through
it looks soft and melty
Lol
I threw 37 echo seeds in and now 98%
Probably like a balloon lol
!tier
@arctic beacon
woop woop
Oh
In b4 T3 is just another empty tier.
But yeah, would be nice if it was a way to progress something while we wait
I mean, it does change the hex code on the echo collective description...
Each tier has a unique hex code
Wow, so useful. /s
It's always been this way in expedition exclusive community mission though 🤷♂️
@ashen shore
Tbh now that the expeditions are like an actual story arc idk how I feel about them being available for a limited time
WHAT
@arctic beacon
Hexed by a vengeful witch
im a check it, im in game currentlly
Poor Gunt
!tier
@royal slate
les go
Galatic Atlas still shows it at 98% Tier 2
should we tag some mod to fix this bot up?
Yeah it did this earlier dw
one at a time, huh? 😩
Yeah that sucks
Tier 2, 99% now! We're hopefully about to tip over to Tier 3!
thats why i just scream in chat COME TO THE TERMINAL and then give a shit ton to everyone
!tier
@lapis ivy
fyi all the bot is doing is pulling this file: https://galacticatlas-api.nomanssky.com/api/mission/?platform=merged. if the numbers go weird it means the file is weird, which could just be HG fiddling with something
Yipee, with that much progress we could complete this quest by the middle of the next week
Onto tier 3!!
ok, I uploaded 25 seeds .. think I'm done for now
!tier
@arctic beacon
Fixed nice
There we go, Tier 3!
https://twitter.com/bomber_that/status/1668235206300516355?s=19
Posting the link since I organized things there a lil better 😅
Spoilers!
one of these moments Gunter is going answer "Stop bugging me!!!" 😄
Well
I was gonna say I just converted the new hex code to text but I see you've already done it
yay tier 3 lets go
Once we get to 50% of Tier 3 we'll be half way through the entire thing! So hey, the positives!
!tier
@royal slate
guys we made it lol
we could probably watch it live go up
guess its time to put a few dozen in then !
the NMS Community Research Watch Party
Indeed
im boutta put like 100 in
i just put 350
also uhhhh when is the convergence supposed to ignite?
yes
Full completion
End of T5. lol
100+ going in in a minute
when you set the guy on fire
bruh then why there gotta be 5 tier like come on maan
Oh btw, does anyone need portal glyphs to Rendezvous 5
should probably pin that
anyway with some quick math we should get done in some 60 hours
accounted for slow down times
I’ve got a teleporter set up there
you gotta be patient and we are keep doing this 🙂
be much better if thee was a way to upload multiples at a time, gonna be here all bloody day !
some speculation that it only counts 20 per day per account
!tier
@dusk crest
Not so sure. We went from tier 1 to 3 in a day.....
To be fair, PC and Console players finally were able to work together.
!tier
@fervent patrol
from which area of the world do most people play nms?
the surface
lol
Not sure if there's a specific concenration anywhere
hmmmmm
Yes there is
Most of the people are on the troposphere
Wow, solid wit. Did you learn that at preschool today? 😛
Anyone knows if the normal characters and bases load for expedition people or vice-versa?
I'm thinking of building a more proper hub on at least the last rendezvous planet...
Is the Expedition fixed yet?
Fixed in what way?
Lmao
Got the discordant trail, but I can't actually use it on any save 😭
I fixed it
Pretty sure it's a mode separate from the others.
Gleam fixes everything
bummer, too lazy to unlock base stuff for expedition save
What's the point of the Echo Collective?
It's for the final choice I assume
Artificial roadblock
no it's not, the final choice is atlantid reactor or the seed of life
Then what it is?
To properly complete the expedition
i said the final choice is atlantid reactor or the seed of life
I know I meant what is the use for the echo collective then
!tier
@solid peak
oh, idk, i just sold it, when the expedition ending was bugged i saw that none of the expedition goals require it so i sold it
Holy let's go
4%, we're grooving!
If we hit two phases yesterday...and there's only two left?
You get both the Seed of Life and Atlantid Reactor. No choice required.
Alright, I will most likely keep it as a collectable
!tier
@vital spire
Are we able to progress yet? Or is it still blocked?
We should be able to finish it today at this pace yeah?
Today or tomorrow probably
i ditch the expedition save file always after ending it so i just am selling it
I estimate near the end of the week is when we'll finish, expect the unexpected and all that.
Alright
Anyone know what are last two optional missions?
Either the two choices or something else
the two choices
choice between an atlantid or the crimson helmet
Are they locked until the Community progress is done?
Or the morning for me
yup
Yes
Darn
Is there a way to get both helmets as well btw, or do you have to stick with just the one helmet
Start another save
And choose the other
Us PC users are grinding these eggs so console players have to just throw in a single egg to complete their phase 5 stage 3 requirement
I thought someone dug into it and the community progress thing was time-locked, like it was going to take a minimum number of days or something
🫠🫠🫠
make a save right before choosing the helmet and make both choices
Someone read wrong, that's the end date time, not the end of the progress time.
gotcha - thanks
either pure guessing, or a backup in case of community apathy lol
ha
did anything change with the tier 1 thing?
The Lore on the Echo Collective item changed but if you aren't into the lore than nothing really happened that I could recall.
Expedition missions still locked then?
Yep!
What about tier 2?
oof
Same thing! Echo Collective hex code changed and that seems to be it.
Ah ok
!tier
@arctic beacon
At this point we will reach tier 5 after star citizen is released lol
We're moving pretty quick, so hopefully it doesn't take us too much longer and if no bugs happen again to keep us out of progression.
Or if hello games decide to do anything-
Hey, we have been progressing much faster than a couple days ago
probably because they fixed an issue but that’s just totally besides the point
!tier
@dry escarp
yep
Good grief, handing the Echo Seeds individually is a pain.
had over 60 to do.
why couldn't HG just make it such that we hand in all at once. the Echo Seeds aren't used anywhere else right?
Yep
i mean, you can sell them 🤷♂️
Why do that
really craving some nipnip?
What-
is the save editor working with this expedition?
Yes
thank god, one of my missions is broken
Which one?
defeating corrupt sentinels
Ah
rapidly keeps jumping between 0 and 19 and wont progress
I heard that is a bug
@mental bough
turr
huh why can't I have both heads optional milestone?
I guess I accident talked and choose a path with construct spider robot D:
Is there some trick to getting your scanner to look for more echo seeds?
Is it me or do larger clusters of echo seed crystals spawn near the autophages
no fr it seems like that
are you using the regular scan mode or the target sweep mode?
You have to just use the normal scanner and look for the crystal with an exclamation point marker
You can get scanner upgrades to increase your range
Target but it says nothing to target
Regular scanner
yeah you just have to do the normal scanner and visually hunt for them
Not the sweep
the larger your scanner range the more likely it is you'll find some
yeah people are continueing to use target sweep for some reason
well, the first ones were target sweep
I always find echo seed in 500u away each
i have the special scanner and i have 3 s modules for range. i'll try not the blue sweep
can confirm, was flying for past hour looking for autophages spots, 1 to 4 seeds per location, but seems not all autophages have seed spawns
!tier
@keen kite
I believe in all of us, we can finish it by tonight
so I have a weird thing where I'm at the milestone to collect sentience echo seeds, I've travelled to several locations where they appear, and there's just.... nothing there. I used a beacon for something at one point and a big crystal with one spawned around me, but is there some trick to it I'm not getting?
Which mission requires lubricant and how many of them?
It looks like our player models are already partially robotic hehe
2 lubricant to craft the legs
Thanks
You need to scan near them. Then they will appear
You still use the scope. The thing your looking for is like the large crystals with an exclamtion mark. Once at the location, use you scanner and it will reveal it self.
Something you need to craft. I think you need 2
ah ok, didn't realize you had to pulse your scanner while on top of them
is there anything else in the game that works like that?
tier 1: "why are we here"
tier 2: "we long to return, we will rebuild ourselves"
Tip: if you're lucky, you can get Lubricant from Nexus mission rewards, 5 pieces of it
hooray for being able to read hex
Not that I can think of
Expeditions often come with unique traits / gameplay elements
!tier
@lapis ivy
Robuts? Robot butlers?
lol
praise be to Sean
ok, got it working. thanks all. just turned in like 12 more on break from work.
Did completion of tier 2 unlock something?
not that im aware of
a new message in the data clump
"we long to return, we will rebuild ourselves"
Speed, WE ARE SPEED!
is this the correct marker for the grand divergence milestone?
!tier
@granite ibex
Two more tiers to go
is that marker a bug? idk how to get an indium drive without doing it the normal way
and it seems so jarring too so idk
it isnt
when you hover over it should show an icon of the thing youre trying to get
its just showing you the fastest route to get to it, which coincidentally has this inaccessible system
yes
visual bug
just jump to the system before that one in the ruote and it should be fixed
what happens when we past a tier in the expedition?
not much currently
just the text in the item you get from the terminal changes
so far
ok
i love the solar ship i spawned with so much that i upgraded its class at a spaceship terminal
And a phase 3 milestone is freaking out on me
its the first itme ive ever done that for a ship in 600 hours
look again.. it just looks like a solar ship.. it doesn't have the auto charging sails
Ok so it wasn’t just me then?
Why is Rampancy freaking out
oh right
i forgot that i swapped it for a different solar ship
oops
still. i love how it looks
Is there a limit of echo donations per day?
We assume it’s 20
Same
Based on previous expedition with community research
i went and got me a class A intercepter... cause i like the near unoverheatable guns
!tier
@gentle coral
very nice very nice
UHHH
i personally didnt do that becuz a modpack that im using makes it so that a crashed interceptor also needs a starship AI valve to repair
There is a fix for that in experimental
finish the fight.. aka fight till you get a discordance ping. it worked for me
huh
!tier
@worn kindle
Did we unlock something?....
from the community research? no
Guess I’ll just kill more sentinels
Why is it split into tiers if the tiers don't do anything until tier 5
Cuz I have no idea why the milestone is acting like that
Guess I’ll go to the next milestone and hope it fixes itself
So, anyone with the experimental.
What's the sentience echo text updated to?
Each tier is apparently unlocking additional parts of the ARG stuff. It's that reason why everything is timegated to add... suspense I guess to the ARG narrative
RAMPANCY IS STILL BROKEN
Even in experimental?
Huh
There was a fix pushed to the experimental branch not long ago, bout an hour ago from now
The killing of corrupted sentinals ?
Supposedly
Yes
Never had that issue
Is it the finding of them or does killing then not trigger the milestone
I killed enough to complete it, but it’s now just constantly flickering and it won’t let me complete it
Oooh that’s not good
Did ya kill them on a road on planet or the planets ya need to go to ?
I killed them on the uhh
Pilgrimage planet
I dunno if starting a new will help at all but that flickering isn’t good at all you on pc or console ?
That's currently in experimental
Meaning a global patch with it should be within a day or so
I don’t have the experimental on so
So, assuming the patch worked, you won't know yet until it goes public
Nor do I have access I don’t think
Fantastic
pc
Should be within a few days. And it implies that its just the hand in function that's the issue
hopefully I don't have to start yet another save just to have the fix work when its out
One of the other experimental features is that soon we can hand in 10 seeds at a time
That’s a relief
And apparently the description for tbe community goal has been reworded to make it more clear what our objective actually is, which I would like to see sooner than later
All of those I’d like to see sooner
Yo
!tier
@silent horizon
how many echo collectives are you supposed to get?
1
So can we continue the expedition when it reaches 5?
@frosty pine I got 2

The tier, yes
Yeah that’s what I meant, thanks
So we've already cleared tiers one and two, did anything happen yet?
.... what if when we finish the community mission.... it releases the abyss.. fully. not just the tiny incursions we've had so far..
!tier
@dry escarp
Hopefully it does not or we may have a bigger problem in our robotic hands
we were at Tier 2: 20% about this time yesterday, so i'm thinking we'll be able to achieve this before the end of the week for sure
Or at maximum till tomorrow
So just seen this on fb apparently it’s in the expidention
Anyone encounter the flame throwing ones at all ?
bigger problems are always good... chaos pushes evolution
Can someone ping me when the final milestone is unlocked
!tier
No, it has been 21hs 50min since with got to tier 2 0%
@worn kindle
hence ABOUT this time
Yea, but there is a huge difference in the progress rating with your numbers and mine. With your numbers you are assuming a tier percentage increase of 100 per day, while with the actual numbers it's 130 per day.
That's why being specific with numbers is good 😂
close enough only works in horseshoes handgrenades and nuclear weapons
@unkempt kraken Nice! Thank you!
fuck your numbers. numbers are why i enlisted and didn't go to college 
The numbers Mason... what do they mean?!
That's ok, but if you mess up times and amounts of medicine you could end up bad 👀
!tier
@arctic beacon
hey is it just me or is the community research going faster than usual?
i remember the progress was 33% only a few hours ago.
that was yesterday
Now all platforms are getting involved which gives the impression its going faster
All but Switch 
PC contribution weights x3 🙈
Switch really got the perpetual short stick didn't they
Yes
so sah
Still hoping they get an update today. Sigh. 
I have been portal hopping for the past hour trying to find an unpopulated paradise plane
Ok folks question
For those who already have the || Construct in Anomaly near Tethys - does the game show it's name for you? ||
nope
hmm
😅 You can tell the people playing with a controller when dumping seeds. They fly up for half a second with their jetpack (or a jump?) every time they deposit.
kb/m ftw
Don’t call me out like that 😭
I gotta play with controller on steam atm cos my mouse decided to unalive
i saw a different name yesterday. i felt like it was using a name string from another NPC
i have my controller connected cause my "mouse" doesn't have a scroll wheel click or middle button. and you can't rebind the middle mouse button/R3 button
Oh damn
Steam Deck is also a PC and all you got is controller
it has usb ports :STARE!!!!!:
!TIER
@arctic beacon
Caps
steam deck is amazing and i love it
!tier
@north crypt
oh well... i guess its time for me to contribute just a little... 20 seeds going in, in a moment.
speaking of steam deck, i have heard that Nintendo is attempting to sue Valve, which i presume is because of certain steam deck emulation capabilities...
They aren't and its not
They’re suing valve to take down dolphin emulator from the steam store
Last I checked
They asked valve to remove Dolphin Emulator from Steam until it removes a bit of software that is from the Wii
They are not sueing
I will do mine tonight😁
time to bust out these seed uploads!
!tier
@arctic beacon
So Are we unable to complete the expedition until the community research event hit the final level
Once we get all five tiers completed we can all finish it
Tier 3 should be done by tomorrow morning UK time
In other words, Hello games are saying. "Grind bitches, GRIND!" 😄
Grind SPACE BITCHES, Grind !!!!
DANCE MONKEY'S DANCE!!!!
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
boredom
Someone at HG probably...
"So you wanna sap the fun from the expedition?"
"Yep"
"Two words...
Community
Goal"
You forgot the clap inbetween
yeah meter is up to 29% nao
Ah shit I did as well
Well more like pointless community goal, what's stupid is that nothing happens when the tiers are completed
I would be fine with it outside of that
the data clump updates with new hex code
changing what it says
...riveting
Yeah... TBH i get the Community goal thing... but the tiers?... honestly...WTF?......... WHY?
So by looks of it , it goes up a teir per 24+ hours give or take
Yeah and the hex codes all just say innocuous garbage like "we are here" or "we will not be forgotten" or whatever, none of it means anything
tier 1 was : "why are we here"
tier 2: "we long to return, we will rebuild ourselves"
Yeah there isn't really a reason to have tiers if completing them doesn't do anything
So basically droids had some semblance of sentience
It went to shit
They got scrapped
In a nutshell
no the corruption happened
the atlantans did it
So it went to shit?
Isn't middle mouse button used to pick up tech and delete items in your inventory? If that's the case, you can actually remap those 👀
pick up teck is left mouse button. delete is middle
Then you can remap
Question for me for the Autophages... Who is deleting them?
Do we get things at the different teir levels? Sorry if this has been asked and asnwered. Seems liek Teri 2 got through pretty quick
wasn't able to last time i tried. i mean you could tell it "i'm remaping this to this" but it actually won't do it
the message in the collective changes
It doesn't show on the tooltip tho
Not sure what that means? Liek what the robot parts say?
from the prime console you can pick up an item called echo collective. it displays hex code
Ahh ok
tier 1 was : "why are we here"
tier 2: "we long to return, we will rebuild ourselves"
when translated
Is it micro transactions? Are micro transactions coming to the game? Would be funny if they were like "Hey YOU guys unlocked it."
nah it's either the atlantans or the abyss
I cant find the expedition route
we're going to accedentally release the robut debbil
Nevermind
Mega Maid
Sucks out all the gas resources form a planet
tin foil hat time: Its the remnants of the separatist droid army after they were decommissioned. They are crossing over to THIS franchise to live again. 🎶 dun dun duuuuuuuuun 🎶
it's a wonderful time in the grand army of the republic. every meal is a banquet. every formation a parade"
!tier
@royal slate
to be fair, it's evidently ALREADY released :V
considering all the corrupted worlds
those are minor incursions this is a full on release
How do I find Nada's prime terminal
"Minor" 👀
everything is reletive
on the left
Except it's all over the place, and also consider the Outlaw Stations :V
Theory... people went to diner and are now back grinding. 😄
And probably most Horrors 👀
outlaw stations are pirate controlled not abyss controlled
including the underwater eyes and bugs
The Voice of Freedom
Well I'm bout to dump around 100 seeds Into Nada's Prime Terminal .... Wait that didn't sound right
Oof, if you turned in the Echo Collective to the construct, you can't see the messages for each tier
Which, if i remember right, either is or is related to the Abyss 👀
you can turn it in? i tried it didn't want it
@ashen shore
It was bugged, you could complete the last two milestones early
Ah 👌
all of this community stuff is part of a BS ARG
Well, i'll find out how the finished Encrypted milestones work when they're unencrypted 👀
those of us who don't care should be allowed to move forward
dont ruin the fun
especially considering it... really isnt an issue to just play the game while you wait 👀
there's 0 effort to wait like a week, then log on and win it :V
especially since you already "completed" it
what did you do 5 minutes ago? an hour ago? 3 seconds ago?
i have a memory issue
if i go off and do other things or play another save i could forget to come back
Write it down? 👀
Like, on a sticky note
"Collect goal rewards on expedition" with a date or such
!tier
@lyric roost
Eh, expedition saves are marked as expedition saves, with "time remaining". It's a yellow icon to the left of each save.
Enough typing people... go harvest seeds. I want the loot, but can't be bothered to harvest any more. 😄
So whenever you launch the game, you'll see
tried it in the past.. i get annoyed with this random sticky note in my field of view and it goes missing
because i don't remember why i needed it there for weeks at a time
...you dont look at it, at all? 👀
mfw i dont read
memory issue. legally blind in my left eye. 20/35 vision in my right when corrected. meaning not perfect vision.. to see the writing i have to lean closer to the note
skill issue tbqh
Hmm, bigger text/sharpie on paper? 👀
!tier
@lapis ivy
in short. when i need to do something in a game that's time sensitive i need to do it when i'm doing it. not wait to be able to.. it's why i don't play mobile app BS
ok well
expeditions arent really designed for you specifically
they are marketed as a community driven mission
ARG's should be for those who want to know more about what's happening. not be a lock that has to be worked through
if its such a big issue just alter your save so you already finished the expedition
or better yet
dont play the game
no one's forcing you to
Expedition 3 was probably the neatest 👀
i've already sent this to HG but i'll say it here.. the echo's should be "turn in X amount to continue. if you want to learn more about what they are and why help fill the meter"
since everyone was more or less forced to be on-planet for one planet
it's that simple.. if you don't help fill the meter. you don't get the optionals. and you don't know why a thing happened
By far just leaning into the "community" aspect the hardest :V
Since you're more likely to see people
plus the planet had huge spikes which i built a base on
i don't see people.. i play with multiplayer turned off
because people are annoying
And laggy, this expedition was by far the laggiest
Question, Have they done something like this before, sorry, been here since expedition 7
this is true
Omg I have to put these seeds in 1 at a time.. this is going to take forever
to gripe about mobile game ARG BS being thrust upon me.. and also at the time PC players were getting 0 forward progression
The goal? Yeah.
For ARGs? I think around Atlas Rises too, at least
but thats cause of the shit ton of player note balls
!tier
@arctic beacon
What atre ARG's
So I feel like a derp, but I gotta ask; what is an ARG?
alternate reality games
haha, me and Kermit on the same wavelength
@bright scarab meant to say earlier, but my favorite expedition design was leviathan, no doubt
Waking Titan, i believe
the community driven aspect was geniusly designed
Yeah, checking
it's forcing real world BS into a video game to force a locked progression.. binding of isaac had one where people had to actively find clues from around the world. than dig up a resin model of a new character once
S1 Waking Titan was Atlas Rises
So many seeds
Ohh, but all in all i think its a nice concept, just could get a badge or smth for being part of the community goal ya know
S2 Waking Titan was NEXT
So let me guess? The reason why I haven’t been able to complete the Sentience echo milestone is because it is a community effort? That would explain why there was a crowd of players around the terminal putting in echo seeds and giving echo seeds by the stacks to other players including me…..
I just had a dreadful thought: What if the next encrypted goal is "do another community event with five tiers dropping more seeds in to the UI prompt". 😅
It's like, a tier or so a day?
My main gripe is that the whole thing wasn't clearly communicated that this one worked different than past expeditions; I honestly thought my game was bugged when I couldn't keep moving through the Expedtion haha
its not
nah, i already know what it is
it's "put the thing in the robot"
and "which color do you want"
let me put the thing in the friggin robot than
i did
if you did it currently, without the coal complete, it'll still be encrypted :V
and you cant claim rewards with it encrypted, fun fact
it was a bug
there should be an alternate way to get to the end for those who just want to be done.. forcing stuff like this is like a mobile game. but we can't pay to make the meter fill
i'm hoping it decrypts when the goal completes lol
because i don't want a wasted run
Starting to get real tired of farming echoes..lmao
Have you considered just... doing whatever you do when an expedition isn't happening, and setting yourself an alarm for a week?
Honestly, dumped a bunch, doing other stuff while i wait 👀
good god
they apparently just ignore/get rid of the alarm :V
just stop
it's more like "why does it want me to log into no man's sky? pfffff who cares"
if you put in WHY you probably should, you shouldnt really do that 👀
That, and probably
"there's a good reason why i set this alarm, maybe i should check"
This kind of seems half on you? Like giving no details, expecting your memory to do the lifting, then it doesnt, then you dont check why it's a reminder and just ignore it
by the time the alarm goes off.. i won't care.. i'll be into something else at the time.. which is why i'm sitting here... bored.. listening to welcome to night vale. and waiting.. because if i start anything else.. i won't be back
look
i wont care
Then... why do you care so much now?
dude
if you know you just really wont
Is anyone able to verify that the expedition was initially not working as intended? On my first playthrough file, I reached a point where I was able to install the Seed of Hope into the Assembled Construct, and that enabled one of the two rewards on my main save. Then I played through again on a second save, but now I'm not being given any choice at the Assembled Construct. I only have the option to Leave. That's it.
yeah, that's a bugfix
im trying so hard to put it nicely but i dont know how else to say it
you're not the main character
you kinda "skipped" the intended point to put it in, and as a result cant really claim anything yet :V
!tier
@steady idol
all of these problems are self-imposed and the first thing you do upon entering the server is just rant about your own issues and illnesses
Thanks, okay. So we were not intended to be able to make the choice that early. That's a relief. I thought I was doing something wrong, and no one could give me a straight answer on the reddit.
possibly it'll fix itself by the time that goal completes, or it might be broken, who knows
because i care right now because i'm doing it right now.. all of the little bits are in line right now. but if i go do something else it'll unhook the little bits and i'll not really care anymore. but i keep starting expeditions. hitting a bug that stops me.. getting frustrated. so since everyone could seemingly crack one off in a couple days i was like "ok.. i'm going to do this one DAMMIT and i'm not doing anything else till it's done"
Yeah, worst case a run MIGHT be broken for you? Though i wouldnt be surprised if it auto-collected
because i always forget to come back when the bug has be squished
This... definitely isnt a game issue then :V
There's always gonna be something time-sensitive that, as a result of here, you cant ever complete/participate in 👀
since you'll either not catch it, or do something else
it's a game design issue.. this community stuff should be OPTIONAL!!! not manditory
game design issue
Not really?
No
BRO THE EXPEDITION IS OPTIONAL
that too
Yeah for eel
complaining about it here will not solve anything. send a feedback to HG if you feel so strongly about it
not if i wanna be a robut in another playthrough
which... is optional 👀
if you want to be a robot then you have to help the community
also if you REALLY wanted, just save edit
i did help the community
Then set an alarm. Use this as practice for fixing the problem of not coming back for things you've set alarms for.
Help more
ok then wait for the rest of us or help more
i gave it stuff.. i should be allowed to move on now
Nuh uh
they cant/wont, and if they do give details to remember, they wont care :V
and just wont continue
you gave like 3 out of probably like 300k seeds
The community effort might have been better recieved if there was some sort of reward for each round of submissions. Something.
Why? Holy shit, you're just making yourself miserable doing that, because giving that much likely isn't accomplishing anything.
agreed.. but i'm getting jack squat except frustrated waiting.. and people telling me "oh i don't understand your problem so it must not exist"
I wake up, check Galactic Atlas for Sentience Echo, shows 35% Tier 3, going much faster now
The common wisdom is that there's a daily cap (~20) on the number of submitted seeds that count toward the goal.
or wait
!tier
the cheat hasn't updated yet
@solid peak
it doesnt have to
then wait for it to 👀
Wow 35 awesome
THAT isnt Time Sensitive
just edit the raw json
or that
Personally, as a person with ADHD, I entirely understand your problem... and I'm saying use this as an opportunity to practice getting better at life. Because some day you may need the ability to walk away from something for a bit in a situation where it really matters.
the thing i've used in the past updates when the expidition is finished offically..
The only Time Sensitivity to waiting for a cheat update is purely either "wait for it to update" or "someday in the future it might get discontinued" :V
mine still works
@severe whale
dyspraxia, and autism. and i'm 44.. i've had alot of life to know what works for me and what doesn't. including all through school having a micro tape recorder with everything dictated
YOURE 44
i will personally guide you step by step into unlocking every expedition reward
if you just stop talking
anyone else running into a lot more interesting POIs in space with this expedition? I'm seeing stuff I've never seen before.
!tier
@arctic beacon
The New Atlantid thing, or in general? 👀
Careful not to mock someone's ADA recognized neurological disabilities. 😐
i don't need to unlock them all.. just finish this one milestone
but it won't let me.. because of dumb game design
in general. like, i just keep having to look up POI after POI. never happened before on my main save.
by finishing this milestone you're finishing the expedition
its the last thing to do
all the others then unlock automatically
well people keep offering you suggestions and you act as if they are arguing with you.
I've run across the Relic Gate several times, but not much else.
its not like unlocking the final reward needs to be done asap, you will survive waiting
exactly.. but i'm stopped.. because of bad game design
you've basically stated already "the expedition is basically already done", right? 👀
you've already "Finished" it then
That is exactly what I'm now seeing for the first time as we chat here.
I bet the walkthrough you're being offered would let you stop at just one.
not done.. don't have the finish reward
it basically is
??
oh, just give that a hot minute to update
bugged
Agh, that's it, can't take it any more. Utilizing the block feature.
Oh okay lol
wow, getting bent out of shape because couldnt bumrush the expedition in a single day
I'm glad it's just a bug
did it to me when i got on after the ODS was dead
gave it a hot minute, updated on it's own, works normally 👌
what platform are you on?
PC
Honestly, seems a bit of OCD, possibly? 👀
probably
as i said i have dyspraxia and autism. ontop of the memory issue.. which is part of dyspraxia
can someone check in on the pc server?
Like, will not take "basically done", has to be "100% done"
yeah, i mean INGAME 100%
It's still displaying as 0% on my end...
as in do all of it, get the Things™️
I'm worried
ok my meter is still working right :relief:
yeah it takes a hot minute 👀
unless everyone else has the problem
you're totally fine
nah, it's on their end
if even one other pc player is good then you dont have anything to worry about
ikr? i mean, i get some people are really impatient but cmon almost all of us are in the same boat in terms of this, we just have to work together and finish this as quickly as possible, while still playing by HG's rules.
It's specifically an issue if I'm the only one to have the issue. It means I might have gotten banned or something.
nah
pretty sure if you were, ODS would be offline?
I'm in game on PC and have 47% shown on my screen, but I don't know if that's persistent from an older time when things were working.
dont worry pal
i assume it's still online
especially in multiplayer...
ODS is online for me so I suppose it's fine
if i remember right, they might, but it tends to be for the worst offenders? 👀
well
but i may be thinking of another game
What's the progress lads
you can always go to the NMS official website, open up the Galactic Atlas view in the website, and then click on "Sentience Echo" at the top of list.
35% through T3 last checked
They reserve the right to ban, but I would imagine they rarely use it
!tier
either going on a spree of renaming every system to a slur
Huh I didn't think it would be that fast
@arctic beacon
yeah, it's going pretty fuckin fast 👀
Damn
or like hacking to kill permadeath players
at our best rate i calculated it to be some 60 hours
hot 👀
pretty certain, unless rates plummet, before the first week :V
Speaking of which, what did the Echo Collective say in the 2nd tier? And now?
I think I will go with the Atlantid Construct rather than Atlas
@unkempt kraken There you go, your next idea: Rate estimates. 😉
you'll be doing a second run anyways, for the Free Hat™️ 👀
personally going Atlas first
then atlantid
hey hey hey
dont implant any ideas of repeating expeditions here
you dont have to
just reload your save
Free Hat ™️ ?
i sold my dog legs not knowing ill need them later
Personally I did it twice.
i then farmed for unironically like 2 hours
Still 0% for me.
to get another part
Tho I could see people doing the reload method after this step is done.
try to implant one, relog, choose a different mission objective....
while i definitely didnt time it, it felt a bit like
be creative
30m/1h or so?
while i was doing stuff
then just randomly popped while i was on a planet surface :V
nah
Btw if one of the optional milestones converts your save to normal mode, are people actually going to use it or not
!tier
finishing the expedition usually converts to normal
@north crypt
Kinda regret doing a second run tho cuz all the crashing on the expedition planets.
probably not? 👀
So that means I'll never be able to complete the expedition. Feels bad
I have no crashed a single time on nms
I crash alot.
since it had basically Direct Upgrades to all basic ship systems 👀
whats your gpu? one of those fancy new $2000 ones?
Granted I am on an Xbox 1.
have had a few crashes, but honestly incredibly rare :V
ah, suxbox
Nice. Was gunna ask how we were.
So apparently steam-progress is fixed now .. can we actually finish the expedition tho or are we softlocked again at the same stage until the tiers are completed? :o
Wait for tiers.
Donate while you wait.
gotta wait for t5, yeah
Ive crashed at least 50 times since starting this game.
though it's going incredibly fast 👀
any idea on hours?
At least 20 times this expedition.
sounds like an xbox issue
Total hours?
yeah
And yeah, MP definitely gets more unstable
Wtf
especially when in loading screens
ρç ƒ̮ȏȑᥱ√ᥱȑ
are you just
going out of your way to ignore our messages
you are not banned
stop overreacting
Time to add up my playtimes.
its a visual bug
I thinks it cool that we’ll get to play with robo stuff but I won’t use it.
ngl, thank god steam has it on display for total playtime 👀
177 hours.
my no man sky playtime
About 24 hours is both of my expedition runs combined.
I have crashed far more this second run.
holy shit
10 times on the last planet alone.
so that's a crash every hour or two?
Introduced a new option at Nada's Prime Terminal to hand in 10 Echo Seeds in a single batch.
great, now do the same thing for cronus
is your xbox overheating?
oh wait
Not really.
i knew i recognized your name but i couldnt remember our last discussion
The list of possibilities is vast. Momentary glitch while opening the game once. A router between you and HG is down. Individual corruption of your save. Etc.
you're the guy that had the shitty ass xbox
I never had an xbox so I dont know what kind of issues it has
Sometimes certain planets make me lag so bad with all the effects on screen it just, gives up and crashes.
