So Iโm still confused why canโt I do the other mission?
tough choice
what other mission
purple is prettier
Saving this for science. Thanks!
reminds me of one of the aliens from batteries not included
gotta finish sentience echo
I wish the purple was a little thicker, maybe a bit glowier
we're stuck till tier 5 is finished
Ohhhhh okay thank you, I thought I saw some other people did it tho
maybe one of the mods should be prodded to pin or tag this or something... how do you tag one without pissing 'em off?
And unlocked it
first day bugs
then they did through a bug/exploit
ok it did fix it, thank god
which also locks them out of finishing
Honestly the one thing I still wish we had is an auto arrange button for our inventories, ship inventories and such
Omg actually, people who did that turned me in the wrong direction
yes, but #nms-the-future
!tier
@ashen shore

@worldly cargo
whoops

So close
haha seeds go brrr
We're in peak times for East Coast/Midwest United States and Canada atm
nearly 10pm for us UK lot 11pm for EU
Yeah, so for US/Canada, UK and a lot of EU we are at the perfect time
Jin what the fuck
It's 5PM EST and it's about 2PM on the West Coast
2000 uh...cool
+1000 in like 10 minutes
when's the last time you went to the bathroom?
you just showed us that you had a 1000
Very nice, I wonder if there will be any extra dialogue or options for players who go the extra mile to actually save a good chunk of souls.
and thats all my seeds now im going to take a break
I only saved 27 so far 
maybe touch some grass, fresh air, do a heart check, etc
alot of it
67 over here
im feeling like im underpreforming all of a sudden
Do we tell Jin about the restrictions or let them not know
resources regenerate in this game, so theoretically infinite
you are singlehandedly responsible for like 10% of the current progress lol
So I have kinda found the sentinal ships can jump a lot further than the normal ships
i dunked about 100 seeds before some of the updates earlier this week, and now it lists me as only 14 seeds contributed...
yes they can
unless the 20 a day limit is true...
Or it seems that way
and they take normal upgrades too
probably did it while ODS was down so it didnt log it
one of my friends is 1700LY ish
!tier
@true topaz
go up faster!!!!
Instead of hitting that middle jump point I can normally jump to the actual way point
I need the head
yea i was doing that
I hope it's not tbh, because it really screws over devoted people like Jin
๐ณ
How do you see how many you have done
dupers exist is the problem
or just wait literally one day rather than glitch the quest head
The limit is 50 a day.
Exactly, which really stinks on some occasions; I dont mind them when you want to get past some of the more tedious aspects but they ruin Community events like that and then we're forced/required to have a daily limit per account
Not sure why people keep saying 20.
where sauce
how do you know the limit?
Do we know that for sure, do you have some direct links to that?
The limit is 50.
alright fair point
The reason why we said it was 20 was because we knew, at the time, the limit per-day was 20
for Leviathan
Thx . Good to know.
Could we get this pinned possibly?
they increased the limit since the 7th?
probably because the weekend took out a lot of player contribution because the expedition wouldn't start for many
better than 10 or 20 I suppose, still means that one guy just wasted 950 if he deposited them all today
(assuming it wasn't duped)
Yeah, lot of people wasting their time.
So did anyone else have to travel almost 2k kilometers from your ship just to get to the rendezvous points
I'm assuming it was duped for his sake
Lol if there's no ingame indication that there's a limit, then this is even worse
It is
There's nothing saying there's a limit in-game.
I hate how they don't tell us and we need freaking dataminers to explain it. Same thing happened on Levithan I think (can't remember entirely) it was someone in the community who datamined it and said the cap per-day was 20
yeah, well...
admittedly I think a large majority of the playerbase doesn't want to farm hundreds of these things per day anyways, so aside from the super grinders most probably won't hit that limit, but yes this should be explained in game
Why not tell us? I can't imagine how many players are grinding their minds out for thousands and thousands of seeds right now and not knowing the limit daily cap is 50
i hate to say this, but this expedition is really poorly done
Everything up until the Community Event/Lockout was 10 outta 10
unlike a few others its not given you everythng on a silver platter
which is why i've enjoyed this one more
Any expedition that's held up by artificial means (making us collect things for NO real reason) is poorly constructed, but the content itself has been okay.
lockouts are never something people enjoy, there's no way to make lockouts a popular feature
whoever came up with the idea of adding usually predatory mobile game BS needs to be smacked
The only thing I want on a silver platter for expeditions like this is a clear and decivie mention be it in-game or from Sean Murry/Dev what the limit is daily for collections on Community Events
That's what i'm thinking
Exactly
!tier
@dusk crest
Not only it's a mobile bs, it's not even giving them any real benefits, other than people playing it longer
Yes, that'd be fantastic.
which is why i said "usually" predatory... they can't even cash in on the "i hate this i wanna pay to bypass"
That's like the main goal of any video game, to dominate your time. While it's more effective in games with microtransactions, getting any kind of visibility or people talking about the game simply because they play it more is good for sales
Lmfao, best part of that is, the expedition must be done twice to get all the rewards too (unless you "Cheat" it). You only get one helmet at the end. This whole thing is "lol we made you play longer for no reason"
Imo .. that progress bar is just the time HG needs to prepare/bugfix for the last 3 missions ๐
That's right, the problem is that from what i've seen so far, the people are getting frustrated and confused. That's surely not what you want to prolong in your game xD
so the workaround does not work sadly, back to farming echo seeds
yea, information should be more abundant where it matters to prevent confusion, but games using annoying methods to require more time is nothing new to PC games, this is not mobile coming to PC, it's always been here
I'd only tolerate this way if it actually held any meaning or choices in the future you know? Like in a RPG, you chose a side, a faction, like in a Bethesdia or BioWare game now deal with the consquences.
For me that's great because that means I get to play the game multiple times to enjoy all the reactions and consquences to my choices but I highly doubt NMS will ever do that in any capacity, specially in a Expedition
!tier
@severe whale
wooo
so close to tier 5
tier 5 to start within the hour
technically we don't know that it won't, but given how self-contained expeditions are it probably won't
Sure it always been there, and it's getting progressively worse. But when it comes to time gating specificallty, then it's not that common on pc
yet i guess
Right on both accounts.
We don't know if we will but it's fustrating how self-contained these expeditions are. I can't tell you how many heavy lore drops we've gotten and people didn't save them through images or recordings or people who vehemetly deny their canon when discussing the story.
For example Levithan had HUGE lore implicatiosn and drops in a self-contained story ala expedition!
depends on the game, it's definitely a common occurrence in MMO type games
Ah yes, MMORPGs, sure thing
guess i'm just used to lore not being handed to you... warframe didn't have any notable lore for the first 2 years except in flavor text in the collections computer
that's why i don't play much of them ๐
!tier
@twin heart
Ayyy a Warframe oldie, been playing that since Closed Beta 
mm destiny grimoire cards...
same
Souls Games
Not sure who you were referring to but I love looking and finding lore and story like in a Souls Game, Destiny, or NMS but I would also like it be in the main game instead of expeditions if I'm going to be blunt.
I can't tell you how many arguments or heated debates Ive had with players who insist Expeditions and their story points aren't canon and presumebly a What If scenerio or even less than that and shouldn't be used in main lore discussions.
Its hair pulling
I would like more in the base game, as fun as these expeditions are very little they do with the story or anything gets implemented into the base game, hopefully that will change since supposedly we're at part 2 of 4 in whatever arc they're making
God I hope so
they're canon but only temporarily accessible so it's odd
That's what I believe Voyager but I can't tell you how many times Ive had people insist they're not
well, guess the game is full of weird structural decisions ๐
there are some weird choices. Since I engage with the expedition stuff I like it. But I could see it being confusing missing a bunch of this stuff and trying to learn just from what's in the game a year from now or whatever lol
but yeah, for me - as a newish player - the fact that i cannot play any of the previous expeditions is also a let down
I feel like they do an okay job of integrating stories back in. But sometimes they just don't. Like the whole Ariadne imposter situation
I wonder how many others have made bases at the furthest reaches of the galaxy, I went so far I couldnt choose any more stars further out (around 1,020,000LY from center)
Now go the other way and fine one 1,020,001LY
I used random portal address twice, both times I ended up at max range from center
rng carried ong
I like how HG used Stargate as inspiration for the portals
We could, sometimes.
During the Christmas/New Year Holiday they re-release all the Expeditions back to back; every week being for one of the expeditions. However they don't doit every year and sometimes only do half of them randomly.
!tier
@onyx mica
Is there any info on how much exacly is needed?
so very close
im guessing this goes up by uploading the seeds
96% on my PS5
Gimme a exact number of how many seeds we need >:)
3
98 on my pc
Windows XP on mine
Ok so almost into the final stretch
Still no update on console?
I use the Galatic Atlas
I'll do 50 soon, contribute my .01% or something
wee
500 would be 0.01%, 50 is 0.0001% I bet
!tier
@worldly cargo
yeah... well, looks like it'll be over tomorrow anyways
CLOSE
Can't really say without knowing total submissions
tomorrow fricking MORNING
do people even look at chat before throwing a !tier?
mightve just kneejerk looked for the embed
idk who made this but what does it mean?
Course not
Coordinates?
just someone made coords to their base or something
I must be strange then, I always look at chat
oo okay ty
-18 is the answer to the last one
On Leviathan was totally different tho. You at least got a module per item turned in
Here is just for the sake of the expedition
Coords to someones base in normal
We already had someone find it and go there, they were pretty disappointed.
awww
It's a glyph code and coordinates on that planet
I mean you can try going there for the giggles.
Whenever you see an hexadecimal value with 12 digits, it's probably the glyphs to use in a portal
How do u translate that to the numbers ๐
or can u just paste it in somehow?
You can just paste it somehow or just translate it by hand
hm
How do you "ignite a convergence"?
!tier
@onyx mica
0-9 are glyphs 1 to 10, A-F are glyphs 11 to 16
Yeah...
Ja.
Convert to and from glyphs and coordinates used in No Man's Sky. Reads glyphs directly from screenshot.
that kind of sucks
We're almost done tho.
getting close 
luckily it's basically at the final tier
Should be done sometime tomorrow.
Gimme my robo parts
I googled, and I found this http://vectorpoem.com/nms/random_portal/#2023-06-13
tomorrow
a portal address generator O.o
Gives you time to do it again for the purple parts
probably early morning
this was outside, someone made a massive tower. Looks really cool, whoever it was put a lot of time into this ๐ฎ
Cause everyone is choosing red first
i'm not doing jack shiz except getting my purple helmet and killing the save
i never want to think about this expidition again
Lol
400B
8B6A
3D80 this came up on the portal generator when I entered my birth date as seed
Getting the other reward shoulw be easy enought tho. Either do a backup of the save before choosing a reward, or just start doing a 2nd save now so you have both saves right at the end of phase 5
someoneโs a salty Samson
True!
Jesus, the amount of ps5 crashes is insane
sounds like no man sky isnt optimised for the ps5 hardware
Guess Xbox isn't the only one crashing.
the address of my date of birth
Lemme guess, last planet?
I had some yesterday but itโs been good today
NMS crashes whenever i have FF14 opened at the same time ๐
if you crash near RDV;s is probably due to those message beacons
it could somehow be network related is my curious guess
Because no one seems to be playing right now
Well that's, different. Why you running 2 games at once?
Reasons ๐
!tier
@dusk crest
So, we are seconds away from tier 5 I guess
I know on Black Desert theres afk training on dummies
Was yours locking up then crashing when you quit? Or straight crashing?
@lyric roost
I still dont see how people can crash on nms, unless they trying to use max graphics settings on a computer that can barely handle it
do you have to be on your expedition save file to contribute to the convergence event?
Alot of us are not on computer.
There is no way to contribute unless you are
I keep forgetting theres console versions
And for those of us there is not alot we can optimize.
It crashes very infrequently, moreso with MP
GG
I've never had nms crash, even during expeditions
just got a notif ingame that it got to tier 5
last crash I had was mod conflict
Especially on my 10 year old dinosaur of an xbox.
Tier 5 on the NMS website
I need coffee
!tier
@lyric roost
slowpoke
TIER 5 BABY COME ON
Just got the message on screen. Woot.
YEAHHH
Onto the last leg!!
๐๐
Yaaay
WEโRE ALMOST THERE
So, how many hours from 0-100%? ๐
Grats guys I just uploaded like 6
LES GO
TIER 5 HERE WE GO!
Probably by tomorrow if it keeps going at this rate
Tomorrow will be a busy day for gaming for me ๐
Or I guess within the next 24 hours
About 16.6hs
Previously, about 6 to 8 hours.
...down into the home stretch, the finish line vaguely visible...
If it goes at the rate itโs been going, it wonโt take long
Have had it lock up and crash on quit for me multiple times in the past. Usually fine after I start again for a bit. (On PS5)
I was awake when it rolled over to tier 4, lol.
Oh wow. That's... waaayyy faster than expected
does it have to be 100% to unlock the optional missions?
Not complaining. ๐
Might be a couple more hours. But it was this morning for me.
Apparently yes.
I mean we are on the last leg and it is still locked.
darn, good to know. Thanks
!tier
@sonic marsh
It took 15hs 25m for tier 4
LES GOOOO
Iโm sure itโs already been datamined but iโm excited to see the new objectives
when i awake tomorrow i can be done
!tier
@cerulean osprey
Yeah, this is gonna go fast.
trying to finish it tonight lol
Tbf, you only need 4600 people that turn in their 50 daily seeds ๐
Theres a certain amount you can turn in per day?
50
!tier
@earnest furnace
Nice
That sucks
I get what they were going for but this is dumb asf
someone give me a screeny of the new hex code in the soul clump
i'll translate.. but i can't be arsed to log in atm.. i'm done for the day
73 68 65 20 77 69 6c 6c 20 66 69 6e 64 20 75 73 2e 20 69 74 20 69 73 20 74 6f 6c 64
"she will find us. it is told"
Question. At the end of the Expedition, can you craft both heads for the reward or do you need to run another save ?
Who is "she"? 
Oh no, it's all over for us.
ok don't gotta than lol
She comin for us.
she is the abyss
The void mother.....
she better not
We gonna choose between the abyss or the atlas
Either save/reload or do another run.
Which is why the heads r purple and red
Ayo tier 5 fellas!
@lime plume appreciate
We dunno if the former trick will work. So if you wanna do a quick second run then go ahead.
We might just be able to finish this
We gonna finish it, lol.
Blessed mother .... save us
Pretty damn fast too unless they raise the bar.
The NMS community are like Chinese construction workers. It'll get done
With how pissed people were about the down time, that might not be a good idea tho.
Ill put every single seed in. Dont worry guys. ๐
It's not a good idea already from the fact that there are people able to see the required values ๐
Hell yea
!tier
@keen kite
3% already
3% ๐
WORK FASTER
I AINT GOT NO SEEDS
DO IT
I got too much lag.
DO ANOTHER SAVE
hah
im still looking for another corrupted planet lmao, im up to about 30 tho
it's account based not save based
On my way ๐
MORE!!!!!!
MORRREEEE
I reward you with a C TIER SHIP! THATS NOT ENOUGH
go go go go go go!!!
MORE!?!?! :slaps oliver upside the head with a ladle:
So Nada is basically creating yet another super AI? ๐
That's literally the max per day. lol
LETS GOO
Not enough, lol
Nada is sneaky
are we the bad guys?
i dont trus her ngl
creating another robot race
I already farmed my S rank ship, multitool, and freighter ๐
Nada is making me. He needs my help with the anomaly
I turned in 2 seeds total
wtf is going on i cant find any echo's
Take it or leave it
where do you get an s rank ship??
ship hunting
oh is it the first one
Small chances
pirate systems
oh damn, i thought it was part of the expedition
Coords exchange and finding a portal
I'm a pirate smuggler drug dealer so yeah kinda
In the game not in real life
i kept trying to go to the dissonance things but the ships were taken
Turn off multiplayer
dont lie
Im watching you
nip nip smugglers unite
oh i didnt know that was possible lmao
Well the moms and dads in this game want to kill you ๐
Ok ok. Now THERE IS a reason to keep pumping souls
Let me spoil you bbg ๐ฅต
Poor gek vyekeen and korvax kids
We got a personal counter we can make bigger ๐
๐
Did is appear now at tier 5?
cuz i didnt see it in tier4
Ion got a patch
Together with the turn in 10 at a time
And also the interaction doesn't close every turn in
!tier
@potent bobcat
Not a tier 5 thing, more of a recent update thing.
Dunno
Does hunting sentinels for sport make me bad
Why am I not finding any sentient echos?
They released that along with people being able to hand in 10 at once.
After you reach the marker, use the scanner
Yes
Sentinels are basically feds
So no
They nature's police
Oh good
Im going to jail then
The echos are in front of me but they arenโt there at all
Did you make the scanner?
Iโll still hunt them
The same button you use to show all the oxygen and sodium spots.
Im sure you will ๐ค
I'm pirate hunting instead of echo hunting, making the galaxy safer and getting those sweet frigate modules.
i always accidentally hit the frigate lol
the final stretch is here
Trigger discipline. ๐ I've done that too. It's a skill that takes a while to acquire.
!tier
@worldly cargo
do you have to just fly around to find dissonant worlds
We going fast tho
Dissonant systems
how can you tell though
Itll say it when you hover over it.
When you're in your warp map, the system will be flagged as dissonant. That means there will be at least one corrupted planet.
it says dissonant in galaxy map where it would usually say water
Pro tip: if you stand behind terminal prime pillar you can still interact with terminal and dont interact with players by acccidental invites
good place to make a base tbh, radiant shard = 50 nanites
is the ticker still broken?
Or go singleplayer. ๐
Nah. To easy ๐
i have a base on one, but i cant find anymore seeds on it
Fly into orbit and then fly down to a random spot on the planet. Seeds should be scattered over the whole surface.
I've noticed they tend to be roughly 500u apart, so hopefully your scanner range covers that.
!tier
@arctic beacon
Done my part. Donated my 50 echos for the day
when we wake up it'll be done
I am off to bed. I expect you lot to have finished the grind by the time i wake up... so GRIND GRIND GRIND!!!!! ๐
Great I just figured out what that quad servo that I thought was just junk that I disassembled earlier was for
Me too. Hoping this is over before I go to bed, haha
Nah itโs best if you sleep or have stuff to do
Because then you can come back and itโs like 80% done
It's 6pm, I don't mean I'm waiting up. lol
Bruh my analysis visor ain't working
Any good looking interceptors on exp rv systems?
Save and reload, double check it's properly installed and you have selected the right type of view when you bring it up.
Anyone know a way I can get another servo
Kill dog sentinels....
Nah, I jumped out to grab my usual. The ones there are ugly.
Well, the issue is that i can't locate any echoes on a dissonant planet ๐
Quad servo
Kill robo dogs on wanted lvl 3
ok is it just me or is the neutron cannon overpowered asf
They're visible in the regular viewer at a distance, move around a bit.
Sometimes you gotta hike a bit, they appear as icons too.
I was also disappointed that the expedition intro music didn't play at the beginning of this one
!tier
Use visor to locate, run over, ping with scanner, mine and move on.

Yes, I am reliably two or three shotting corrupt sentinels with a C Class
24% an hour is a good rate, lol
yeah its crazy, i can get to lvl 5 warning in like 3 minutes
Sean finally reduced the totall amount needed ๐
17000 damage potential
jesus
In one of my expedition saves my sentinel rifle it 22k damage potential. I was floored. I think it was a class B.
I maxed my scatter blaster and my multitool, I just roll sentinels. ๐
lmao
However, my upgraded minotaur is still an absolute beast.
!tier
@north crypt
Blaze javelin is a sniper. It's all about range.
is there a way to transfer ships and items between saves? cause i dont really feel like building another base lmao
No. You can pass yourself items through third parties, but there isn't a way to do it directly, or with many extras.
๐ญ
I was so disappointed to discover that repackaged upgrades can't be transferred.
What third party can I use
i think they mean like, a second person
also they better make a sentience echo base decoration
it looks so cool
The best i could find so far but forgot where did i found it and forgot to take pic of glyphs ๐
Yeah, they mean using another person to pass the stuff too and off of.
!tier
@severe whale
I found one like tha black one, but it is always a c class for me.
chugga chugga choo choo
discordant planets give up only 1 model of the ship but you WILL find all ranks of it.. just gotta look around
Ah, ok.
Nor really a big deal tho, cuz will probably just go back to survival save after this.
You could donate more echos if you make new exp saves ๐ค
Pretty sure it's account and not save related
The one I went to get is basically that but in light blue and pink, lol
I heard that yellow is kinda rare color so i grabed it
I stopped feeding those things cuz I see no point.
!tier
@west island
wow we did fast
It is difficult to use in VR ๐ For me at least
heh.. keep this up and it'll be done before i go to bed at 2am cst
well shoot
Gotta go fast.
I think the joke is the base name, lol.
Jokes on them, I only understand english.
Jokes on you, since I'm guessing you actually missed the reference because you also missed one of the best TV shows ever made. ๐
no it's not, those were codes from the Interceptor update
!tier
@wraith junco
did you end up getting unstuck?
still can't figure out how to advance, not getting any kind of quest marker
oh gdi just had to set the quest in the expedition log
finally I arrived at Sentence Echo on second save and I can wait until its 100%
its zoomin
Yakl think anyones gotten banned for duping the echo stuffs?
fun to see the drop in players over the day
At rhis point its hard to say no ones tried it x3..
thats prob why there's a 50 seed limit per day
And I just got like thirty five of em..
i duobt youd get banned, but i wouldnt try and find out lmao
I โknowโ someone who duped them
No jk
They don't ban for duplication
That's stupid
I would neeever
I would, but im lazy
So ima just shovel the ones I have into this big ole ... uh, thing
As long as you are not an asshole to other pepole hg dont cares about you duping or cheating
I just happen to know a way of geting echo seeds faster
!tier
@true topaz
Burrito, is it duping?
Maybe maybe not i am not saying
he just asks the program nicely
Yaaaaa
Man I remember when duplication glitches took time to do. Now all you need is two refiners and inventory space lol
We're going about 9% an hour at the moment. Need 82%, which means 9 hours.
Yo see this very nice guy โnot shadyโ gave me a big ship full of seeds
18% ๐ฎ
No another topic does anyone want seeds
yeah sure
see me where
I am in the room where you put the seeds
aight its cool
!tier
@earnest furnace
Wait- You donโt dupe?
Wellll
It makes everything so much easier
Does anyone know what color helmet we will get with what choice?
Gah DAYUM
I don't know. We're being asked to choose between the Alantid and the Atlas. I am assuming what choice you make will affect which helmet we'll get
Does anyone know which choice gives what helmet?
Not really
atlas gives you red
well it's fairly easy to guess which one is the purple one and the red one
Hey guys, I'm on the 4th phase of the expedition and for some reason I can't warp to the Atlas to show it the contract. The atlas and the mission path are not selectable. Any idea what the issue is?
Thank you very much!
you have to go talk to nada on the anomaly
I did.
did you talk to polo?
no
well than.. literally look at the other milestones and follow instructions.. for SOME REASON you have to finish a later one to go to that atlas
ok thx
Uhhh I might have just deleted all of my items
!tier
@teal anchor
close
They should make duping a feature
Like a blueprint for the exosuit that dups small quantities
Of common materials
That's kind of a thing with combining oxygen with other items, though, right?
anyone got fast ways to find corrupt sentinels besides ditz around in the overworld for a while and hope they spawn
phase 3 annoying af
also does mapping systems matter
that's called the matterial collector on your freighter lol
go to a dissonence planet.. pick up a glowing ball.. they come runnin
gravitinos only gives me regular sentinels
Hopefully Iโll log on tomorrow with a done community event completion,
thats what i thought id get too but its just regular sentinels. unless im blind
im on pilgrimage planet bruh
its purple
it is def dissonance lmao
go find one that isn't pilgrimage? they might have forced them to be corrupted and it's bugging
if they were forced to be corrupted tht would be helpin me rn....
but ill tryt another one i guess
!tier
@wraith junco
If your on a dessonce planet look for the spire looking thing there be few around it
That will call reinforcements
i mean they forced the corruption of the planet.. it didn't spawn disonence naturally they forced it to be. and thus the grav's call normal sentinels
i guess thatd do it
when do you think itll be done
You can't say for sure, but if the pace keep up, probably around 8 hours
Noo
it's a streatch. Surely today tho
Well ill be asleep by then
!tier
@young sparrow
it's ok, you don't have to "wait" for it. Go get some sleep
Noooo
It will probably reach the end and then start a new 5 tier progress bar anyway
I found an n1 naboo star fighter
lmao
Wait why is the tier thing not the same as the game
There have been some server issues off and on today. Might be bcause of that
plus the ingame counter is probably updating on some intervals, not real time
I get off at 1230am central time. Think it'll be completed by then?
It will be complete in 4 hours. We're gaining 3% every ten minutes
Did we unlock anything since this all began?
No
Thank you
guys, the expedition will last for a few more weeks, you don't have to build your entire routine around the game xD
I'm wondering cuz I want to get the new cosmetics lol
I'm doing it because it's fun!
people were using !tier here from the start
well, of this expedition
!tier
@worldly cargo
you'll be able to get the cosmetics 10 times later on. You don't have to wait that hard lol
6 more hours
Soon, Mechanicus memes
Or 7
4 hours
16
30% in 3 hours, 4 to go?
west coast getting off work soon, we should see a surge
I just fed a few souls in. There were 3 other people in there when I started and still there when I left. Guess they're just feeding stack after stack.
3% every ten minutes right now
We will surely finish before the sunrise
30% every 100 minutes
Lol
how long will community research be going for
until morale improves
You guys think Neil degrasse Tyson plays nms?
If he does that's epic
He doesn't believe theres an Atlas
He still got lot to learn ๐
Alantid is here to free us from the Atlas.What helmet you choose will be what side you choose. Alantid or the Atlas ๐ง
I like the Atlantid look, very star warsy
Me too!
what if i choose both? Due to some... reality manipulations ๐
!tier
@worn kindle
Gleam did warn people last night to not overuse !tier or they would disable it. Try to keep it fairly infrequent or use #bot-spam
Its pretty fair usage atm
Im just double checking something
I'm not sure you can. Some have glitched it day 1. Some say they can with a Save Editor.
I don't know............yet
I thought it was redhottrouble
Just need to make sure my eyes ain't messing with me
And what if i simply complete the expedition two times?
I did twice
It could have been both, but: #nms-expedition message
Anyway, someone was just saying they were surprised it wasn't disabled. I was just passing along the message ๐
Ahh
i mean if there is to be some kind of game changing choice, then what about the people who made both choices ๐
Someone else posted that Hello Games isn't allowing us both helmets. Some players seem to already have two helmets
I won't honestly know which is true for a couple of hours yet
yeah it's curious to see
how do you already get helmet?
We would have to make a choice then ๐ง
Mod, save editor, or early bug in the expedition
Im almost sure it waa said that if you wanted both you must play a second save
I wonder how many echo seeds does it take for 1% if it works like that
AFAIK, there's nothing to stop you from doing it twice to get both. There was a rumor that doing it once unlocked both, despite making a choice, but it was never verified AFAIK
Oh huh, the Prime Terminal now shows how many seeds you've put in
If it's a SIMULATION, you don't really have a choice ๐
I believe some players got the helmets on day 1 when it wasn't working properly. 20 patches ago
Beenlebub is one of them
I think we at 30% or more can't really tell
*beeblebub
Oh, you mean the Bleeboombum?
Oop we hit 30% fellas!!
Yeah, first iteration of the expedition had a bug that allowed you to turn in parts when you shouldn't
I sound like beeblebub after few whiskeys
!tier
haha ok
@true topaz
30%?? we got this
i already did 50 today no more for me ๐ฆ
We just need to spam it till it hits 100%!!
That 10x turn-in really sped things up
I may join later today and put a few in
Thatโs moving fast. Iโll do another batch when Iโm home. Just came here to see if it was done.
I think I have about 100 stocked up waiting for this fix
Hopefully it's not hit 100% before I join later
I wonder if theyโll play a role in the main game after this. Collect for achievements or unlocks
hopefully they will refine to nanites lmao
Probably just end up being a trade item
It's out of regular version on steam
Huh how come I don't see it
Their update pipeline is likely long and convoluted, give it a few more hours maybe
do you guys ever use your expedition saves or just go back to a main save?
Main only. Building a huge base with another server and I canโt bear to start over on materials lol
last time I tried making a big base I ended up with so many messed up seams
Did the progress shoot up by several levels with the patch? Or has everyone just been going hard on this?
!tier
@keen kite
seems to be about normal pace
I think it's just active hours and they fixed the pc servers the other day
I think 6 minimum
I'm glad they shrunk everyone's collision hitboxes. people were parking themselves in the most inconvenient spots.
it's about 10 minutes per 1% right now it seems, so 69% left would equate to like 11 hours but I think it might be sooner than that
people will pile on the closer it gets maybe. i predict quite a few all-nighter sessions among the playerbase.
It's 3% every ten minutes right now
west coast is also getting off work
Most of us only play for expeditions and patches at this point I think, so heavy play at this stage makes sense
probably fluctuates
It slowed down............๐
Has the idea that it's a simple timer been abandoned?
Maybe someone's at HG with their hand on the speed dial.
Nah, Europe and Eastern U.S. starting to go offline - was really jumping there for a few hours!
Can confirm
Most of my main server is US CST/PST -!: everyone seems to be logging in
!tier
Might stay busy
@lapis ivy
interesting. i wonder if there was a betting pool at HG taking bets on how long it would take us to complete this.
Someone did a graph of progress, it seemed to fluctuate with a one-day cycle.
We've been going at the fastest pace yet for the last several hours, though this is usually the most active time of day. The regression predicts a finishing time of 12:31 EDT tomorrow, but I wouldn't be surprised if we finished a few hours earlier than that.
I'm guessing due to timezones
Exactly the one I was thinking
That was proven false a while ago
While an underlying timer exists ensuring it would finish even if nobody did anything, our participation greatly increases how quickly it completes
sounds like getting bridges built in Animal Crossing.
okay, so what's up with all the flirting from pirates? omg, here they come, they're gonna attac- oh, wait. no, nvm. gone again. false alarm, dude. again.
Pirates don't flirt, they plunder!
how can they plunder if they never actually attack me?!
Even a minimum timer is debateable. I don't think there's any proof of that.
I thought it was just timestamps of end times
That's what several people were confused by
They mistook expedition end time for milestone end time
Yeah kinda miscommunication I think
I tried to correct people a few times, but people wanted to believe it
The limit of 50 per day seemed legit since it looked like it was from a response to a query, but I also just choose to believe it cause I don't wanna do more than that lol
They've done per-account limits before, so it makes sense
I imagine thereโs gotta be some kind of like, minimum rate at which it increases, otherwise theyโd have to manually go in and finish it which seems like more of a hassle, but who knows
They just need to be more clear about it
Yeah, nice of them to up it if the previous of 10 was true
But that's always HG: They need to be more clear
True. Imagine doing 100 in the first few days and finding out only 10 counted lol
Again, assuming that's true
The new 4.3.3 text is much better, but the community milestone is almost complete
Am or pm?
p.m., so in about 15 hours
Yeah, that we can all agree on
At bare minimum tell us if thereโs a max daily limit
It's not going to take 15 hours for 70% more
We're going about 9% an hour or so last I looked. should be done around 5 am Eastern.
This is what I was thinking too
I think they're taking into account the fact that it's gonna be nighttime for some timezones that tend to contribute more
But either way I work so it'll be done by the time I finish lol
If it finishes before lunch I can finish up the expedition during that
I have grading and test-writing to do all day today and tomorrow, so I'll be fine with however long it takes
Might run it a second time for fun, even though I could unlock the other helmet with the save editor
It took like 3.5 hours to get from 0 to 32% if we assume roughly 10% an hour there's 7 hours and it will certainly be less than that
Idk where the 15 hour guess comes from
They had a plot of the rate over the past few days or so, but the more recent trend is bound to be faster since they added the bulk upload plus higher limit
a higher limit?
34% now, 66% to go ๐
There was a tweet showing a value called maxuserdailycontribution or something like that. Used to be 10, they added the 10 at once option and increased that value to 50
Exactly that
ah ha, okay, good to know!
Obviously no way to know how they interpret that number but them changing it is an indication that it is used
Was that from network traffic?
Yep.
Thought so, thanks
I assumed from galactic atlas
!tier
@lyric roost
But could be wrong, not sure why the galactic atlas would give that info
I believe the previous per user caps were discovered by network traffic
The cap was mined from network traffic by someone who posted it on twitter.
I think Leviathan was 20
Makes sense
This one has been 50 limit for a few days now. Never saw anything solid pre-that, just speculation.
I'm honestly surprised they made it completeable in just a week. Pretty fast
Oh it's been that for a few days? Thought it came with the bulk upload change from earlier
I gotta read more lol
so 50 is the max seeds? ๐ฆ and here i contributed more than that....
But yeah gumsk I kinda hope the final stages unlock some cooler stuff (like actual ARG clues) but I doubt it
Per day yeah
The network traffic post was on the 11th at 2-ish PM Eastern. So yeah, pre-update release.
wonder if it is per NMS account or per instance contribution?
Oh wow, good to know. Thank you
Per account based on the wording, but you never really know.
oh so pointless for me to grind up another Expedition instance
As far as seed contribution? Yes.
Also true.
I wonder if the personal contribution number goes up if you're beyond the limit. Would be lame if it did
Honestly, I bet it does.
Anyone got stuck on the Prayer IV milestone? It says to consult Nada, but he doesnt say anything relevant and to present the construct to Atlas, but I dont have any Atlas station marked nor does Polo give me coords.
there's a personal contribution counter?
Though I guess if you're not terminally invested in this like we are then it wouldn't even be something you thought about
In the new build most people don't have, yes.
ARE YOU TEAM ATLANDIUM
36% weee
I'm team get both helmets.
Try selecting the mission in your log if you haven't already. Sometimes the game fumbles on dialogue triggers and stuff with that in my experience
The fragments? Yeah
I have already. Also I cant select mission path or atlas path in the galaxy map
Sometimes an echo seed, sometimes a shard
ah ok
I think someone had this same issue earlier but I can't remember the solution. Either that or you already mentioned trying the thing that fixed it for them.
You could try warping and resummoning the anomaly or something
It would make sense if you could use corrupt materials to make technology that's extra-effective against sentinels.
That'd be neat
Did that already too :/. I'll try to find an Atlas station near R4 I guess.
Might be some coords for some in here, worth a search thru the pins or just manually
"Introduced a new option at Nadaโs Prime Terminal to hand in 10 Echo Seeds in a single batch." - see, Sean does listen 
I love landing to reveal an echo, seeing three or four appear when I hit the scanner, and then turning around to get back in my ship after blasting them to bits, only to find several appeared behind me as well.
Lol same, I got a spot with like 6 or 7 earlier. Was nice.
I just dupe 'em. They create an artificial roadblock, I skip steps. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
That's fair. I just have a neuron that warms up when I mine stuff, so I don't mind.
I get happy brain chemicals other ways. Like building bases at the Rendezvous with free equipment and resources. ๐
I'll prob save edit to get second helmet if it's a choice between 2
Yeah when stuff is truly annoying to you it's nice to be able to tweak it lol
When the minotaur sucked I messed with the turn radius and speed and stuff cause I wanted to use it
I can't check rn but I heard the echo seed progress is popping off, what's it at right now?
!tier
@ocean hollow
Happy they improved it, still a little slow, but at least it can turn
Well that's helpful lmao
yeah accurate username
does anyone occasionally pop into 1st person when piloting exocraft just for fun? ๐ i have a hotkey set for it.
I used to but I found a glitch with the nomad that would crash my game
So I don't anymore
I'm sorta inverse, I love it for everything except exos
Tho I have 3rd person on foot right now to admire the cool wayfarer helmet
i do it just for giggles now and then. i leave it 3rd person for actual play.
Just bothers me when I go up a hill and my character is just kinda sliding upwards with a running animation lol. A little floaty. Plus first person feels a little more like original nms
i leave it on 1st person for on foot and space battles.
For me it's just hard to fly in first person and if I play third person in one thing I might as well use it for the rest
that's fair
when i'm trying to spot something on the ground and i'm flying, i pop out into 3rd.
I think it's because I typically fly an interceptor and they have that really weird red glow on the canopy
Fighting is def a little easier in third in space but when you're trying to scan a planet the cross hair has to be at a weird offset rather than centered
That's true
speaking of Interceptors, what's with the crazy loud sound effects? they're twice as loud as the rest of the game. i had to turn down the game before they became less than painful to listen to.
omg yeah honestly the ambient noise on stuff is a lot sometimes lol
sentinels loooove open exhaust headers
hitting atmosphere in any ship, especially when there's a storm. Just constant wind sounds and clanking
Wait could you imagine if a ship customization update adds options for how your ship sounds, I know I'm getting off topic but brainblast
like, when my ship transforms for landing, it's like shards of... oh... GLASS piercing my eardrums. also, if anyone else is landing or taking off in one within render distance, the sounds from their ship ignore distance and always sound like they're right next to me.
I'd def like some way to make it quieter, whether it's a game mechanic or just a specific setting
I don't really mind it, but I play on PS5. I could see if you play on PC and have headphones where it'd be an issue
@drifting linden
Ok that's my on topic contribution
I was being an idiot. It says right on the mission log to complete Grand Divergence first, which is a latter milestone. So just do that first lol.
Oh yeah that was the solution from earlier too lol, my bad, wish I'd remembered. Nice though
I've missed details like that left and right. Always took me a few minutes to figure out what I was missing.
where are the echo seeds supposed to go? is it on the nexus or a planet?
i'm not getting a waypoint
You bring em back to the anamoly.
The Anomaly, to the right of the Portal.
Anomaly
๐
How many seeds can you upload per day, again? Heard it got upped to 50, just want to check
This is going at a very smooth speed.
man this last tier isn't taking any time at all
No sweat. It was my fault for not being able to follow simple instructions hehe
!tier
@young sparrow
are the wrecked robots we find saying anything new ARGwise, or just the same stuff from regular saves?
Almost there!
Same stuff as far as I can tell
thanks!
Np!
Anyone know where ya can find the seeds for the new ships?
Is anyone else having issues landing on landing pads?
Iโve never had this issue before
The what for the what?
Yes.
Ok Iโm not going insane then ๐
That's not been proven. ๐
The ships, like most things in the game have their seeds. ID strings for their cosmetic appearances.
