Do we have to wait for tier 5 to actually unlock the last mission

Oh

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

Wow you guys worked hard while I slept

lapis ivy
#

Almost tier three 💪

vale kayak
#

nods 😄

royal slate
#

both the biggest part of the community number-wise

#

and the one that can edit the game's files easiest

fringe agate
#

That's funny, when it was slow at launch, everyone said cause no console

deft lichen
#

not to mention the most stable of all the builds imo

royal slate
oak kiln
dry escarp
#

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?

deft lichen
#

making shit up

royal slate
#

both

fringe agate
#

They are not understanding what Unix time they found

deft lichen
#

or rather that its mistook as that

dry escarp
royal slate
#

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

oak kiln
#

But considering the progress is going considerably faster now that we’re back in, we do at least have some impact

royal slate
#

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

oak kiln
#

We get it, this milestone sucks, but it’s not rigged

royal slate
#

basically

analog relic
#

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.

royal slate
#

i think we can all agree this is horrendous design

#

for SO MANY reasons

oak kiln
#

Indeed

royal slate
#

anyway time to give out some 800 seeds again

#

fuck if i know if it does anything

oak kiln
#

I might have to restart the expedition cuz I don’t have a save point from before I bugged the last milestone

royal slate
#

i made sure to restore because of that

deft lichen
#

space anomaly stop not having a floor challenge

royal slate
#

but HG said it will be fine

oak kiln
#

Ah well, I got to that point in less than a day, so I can handle it

royal slate
#

so i wouldnt worry

analog relic
#

I need to put in my 20 Echo Seeds for the day, I'll probably do that later!

royal slate
#

@analog relic the 20 seeds cap is garbage

#

there's no cap

oak kiln
#

I’ll still do it on the off chance it doesn’t fix itself upon completion

royal slate
#

there's probably other stuff

#

but not a cap

deft lichen
#

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

royal slate
oak kiln
#

Cuz papa wants him that construct set

analog relic
# royal slate there's no cap

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.

royal slate
#

so you have both expedition types

oak kiln
royal slate
#

rename that shit to the misinformation highway instead

deft lichen
#

i believed it but i heard abt the cap here, not on reddit

analog relic
#

Yeah, I heard about the cap here so if it was info from Reddit orignally, we heard it here.

royal slate
oak kiln
#

(You can get them both with one save, but for obvious reasons I just recommend waiting

royal slate
#

not helms

oak kiln
#

Paths?

royal slate
#

so you have purp bot and red bot

oak kiln
#

Huh

#

Yeah I did that

royal slate

no the

oak kiln

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

oak kiln

Huh

if you're restarting, make sure your permanent path is different from the one you chose here

#

anyway

royal slate

what if you were a croissant

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

vital spire
royal slate
#

well unless you go back

#

since

#

you overwrote the previous save

vital spire
#

I will do the atlantid first then

#

Then crimson

royal slate
#

does no one here understand how overwriting saves works or am i just bad at explaining

vital spire
#

Mainly because I trust atlas

#

And the abyss ehhh

royal slate

the crimson makes the construct alive

You have to just use the normal scanner and look for the crystal with an exclamation point marker

Regular scanner

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

steady idol

So, assuming the patch worked, you won't know yet until it goes public

Nor do I have access I don’t think

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

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 😂

#

ok well

#

expeditions arent really designed for you specifically

#

they are marketed as a community driven mission

severe whale
#

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

bright scarab
severe whale
#

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"

bright scarab
#

since everyone was more or less forced to be on-planet for one planet

severe whale
#

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

bright scarab

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

@bright scarab meant to say earlier, but my favorite expedition design was leviathan, no doubt

bright scarab
#

Waking Titan, i believe

royal slate
#

the community driven aspect was geniusly designed

bright scarab
#

Yeah, checking

severe whale
#

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

bright scarab

S1 Waking Titan was Atlas Rises

ashen shore

So many seeds

distant beacon

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

bright scarab
#

S2 Waking Titan was NEXT

still prairie
#

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…..

bright scarab
#

yeah

#

Though definitely going pretty fast 👀

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". 😅

bright scarab

It's like, a tier or so a day?

steel quartz
#

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

bright scarab

it's "put the thing in the robot"

and "which color do you want"

both at once

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.

im trying so hard to put it nicely but i dont know how else to say it
