nms-expedition

[bright sorrel]

If i go offline will the extractor keep working or do i need to be online ?

[hollow shore]

Should continue to work fine

[bright sorrel]

Sweet thanks

[hollow shore]

until it is full

[remote thunder]

phosphorus+ion cobalt+gold would also refine to magno-gold

[glossy barn]

Thanks. I found it. I popped a com ball on it, since there wasn't one.

[bright sorrel]

Ohhh but i dont have phosphorus and i dont think there are some to mine

Ohh wait there is nvm

[remote thunder]

ammonia+dust -> dioxite; dioxite+dust -> phosphorus

[glossy barn]

And with that, I'm done. Yay!

[remote thunder]

congrats theonar! 🙂

[hollow shore]

Might get it as secondary on some common minerals

[cerulean olive]

just waiting for my 200 minerals to complete and that'll wrap it up.

[glossy barn]

I'm going to be nice and build out my base and upload it after changing setting so people can access the stores, It's already set up to mone phosphorus, but I am going to add more.

[remote thunder]

remember that if you claim all milestones and phase rewards, it will convert to normal

[glossy barn]

Hrm.. I wonder if it becoming a regular save screws that plan

[remote thunder]

bases in normal won't be visible from expedition

[glossy barn]

Yeah I just realized that. Doh

[remote thunder]

it was a nice thought though

[glossy barn]

Eh, maybe I'll start another save if I spend the time.

[remote thunder]

hehe, i know what you mean. as long as you're having fun 🙂

[glossy barn]

Have the weekend QS missions gone up yet?

[remote thunder]

yeah

[astral badge]

hmm seems my starter ship doessn't have a coordinates hud inside it....

[remote thunder]

hmm

strange, it should

[astral badge]

its telling me my speed, some sort of compass, the name of planet and sector, and my equipped weapon

no cordinates

[remote thunder]

well, when you're flying inside atmoshphere anyway

[astral badge]

uploading screenshots

[remote thunder]

exotics have the same cockpit as explorers, so coords should be on the lower left

[remote thunder]

coords should be here iirc

try to exit atmosphere then fly back down

[astral badge]

nupe, I'll try saving and reloading

[remote thunder]

yeah, try that if you've already tried leaving and back

[hollow shore]

@astral badge Make sure you're not too high up

[ashen shore]

Is there a planet in the start system that has a 950 high mountian

[astral badge]

as you can see in the picture I'm very close to the ground

[ashen shore]

Is there a planet in the start system that has a 950 u high mountian

[remote thunder]

yep

[ashen shore]

Wich one

[remote thunder]

the starter planet itself #nms-expedition message

[hollow shore]

Hmmm, sometimes it works to leave atmosphere, then come back down

[ashen shore]

But in that case i havet found it can you just walk or it or do you need to do something

[astral badge]

the climb a mountain one bugged out for me and just gave it to me for flying out of atmosphere and going down again

[remote thunder]

it's probably best to try and find a really tall mountain when flying into atmosphere

then land where possible, as high as possible

[ashen shore]

Ok thanks

[hollow shore]

Weird things happening ... 🤪

[remote thunder]

@ashen shore remember that jetpacking against a vertical wall/mountain cliff, face hugging it, does not drain jetpack

[glossy barn]

I started a new save.. gonna speed run this one and build a farm base for the newbs.

[ashen shore]

Yes i know but its good to say

[dim barn]

I didnt click the very very end, but can still claim the ship on my other saves, so will wait for the last day. I flew to other planets and got a bunch of Sulphide, will spend a bunch of the last day helping people that start it late finish it up

[ashen shore]

Im also gonna help players

But I have not finished yet

How do I do the 200 minerals thing btw

[hollow shore]

@astral badge Did you get the coordinates to show again?

[undone ridge]

Is anyone else having trouble with the shelter inside a planetary building?

[ashen shore]

Yes

[undone ridge]

I’ve been to 3 booster locations during storms and it ain’t working smh

[ashen shore]

I did it in 2 hs to get it

But how do you do the 200 minerals

[astral badge]

not yet, found a differnt high mountain and am going to see if this one is good enough to get the right amount of air time

[undone ridge]

Lemme check

[hollow shore]

Use a Mineral mining setup on a hotspot. You get the mineral extractor as a reward

[ashen shore]

I flyed for that time just go on a hill during a hot atorm

Storm

[ashen shore]

Ok thx

[fierce cloak]

ok i cant figure out how to get magno-gold in this expedition

in the previous one the refining recipes were a milestone reward but in the redux they aren't

any advice is welcome

[thick ibex]

do we just buy the visor to find the hotspots?

[upbeat torrent]

buried mineral formations or floating crystals, or you craft them

[wanton frigate]

There are alloy recipes and the visor blueprint as rewards for other steps

Always check the rewards before you waste data unlocking solar panels....

[fierce cloak]

that was the point- you can't learn the recipes until you fix the ship- i'll try buried minerals thanks

[fierce cloak]

yeah i've checked all the rewards and the alloy recipes aren't part of them anymore

unless i'm just blind

[wanton frigate]

Sure? Could have sworn I saw them earlier

[thick ibex]

visor isnt there either

[fierce cloak]

i got the analysis visor from something

[thick ibex]

really?

[wanton frigate]

Me too. Must have done, I'm not smart enough to have unlocked it manually

[hollow shore]

Must be milestone 'Industrialist' (Phase 3) > Alloy crafting BPs

[fierce cloak]

its in phase 2 construct a teleporter

gives the survey device plans

[static cave]

Where are y'all finding the Larval Cores at? I can't find them anywhere

[thick ibex]

AGHHHHHH

[thick ibex]

i hate i didnt realise this

[fierce cloak]

larval cores from abandoned building? i haven't got there yet but assuming

[upbeat torrent]

exchange maps for distress charts at the station cartographer, 15% chance for it to point to an abandoned facility

[thick ibex]

i picked my base up so i could move it to the minerals LOL

[static cave]

Thanks guys, I will try the other charts, I think I used the wrong ones LOL

[modern canyon]

I am literally like fifteen minutes from my ship and there is still no copper in sight, wtf

ton of phosphorous and magnetized ferrite deposits but those don't give me chromatic metal

okay seriously, am I supposed to get chromatic metal in a different way in this expedition or what

[upbeat torrent]

na, you're just bad at finding copper

[silk iris]

I was in the same boat

Copper is the way

I think this is gonna be an on foot phase. The habitable structure I’m supposed to find is 45 min away

[modern canyon]

certainly not for lack of trying! just got a bad spawn

[silk iris]

And I need a quantum computer to get my ship off the ground

[upbeat torrent]

go find something else or use the minotaur jetpack

[silk iris]

Wait

Ohhhh

[upbeat torrent]

oh you're in the "go inside an alien building" phase, right? just walk and scan

[modern canyon]

tame one of these little guys, they haul ass

[silk iris]

I can build the min

[upbeat torrent]

minotaur best. esp. with the solar reload and efficient engine mods, you won't run out of power

[modern canyon]

as an added bonus they're predators so they'll just run right up to you!

not in a friendly way but

just note that the Travel During A Storm objective requires on-foot. on your own foot, not a companion's.

[silk iris]

Nvm I can’t make the min

I’m not even safe in my base I was killed by wildlife while inside and paused lmao

[upbeat torrent]

that shouldn't happen. they can glitch inside, but should become docile

[median bough]

Is there anyway to NOT use names of discovered uploaded flora/minerals from other people or maybe report them?

[modern canyon]

I have in the past had them hit me through meters of dirt so 🤷

[modern canyon]

Go to Discoveries and mouse-over (if on PC) the entry in question, you'll see a Report option

and at least for planets, a reported name will immediately stop showing up on your end

[tight forge]

Hey guys im doing the cartographers expedition and I need cobalto but there isnt any in this planet

[modern canyon]

not 100% certain on non-planet reports

[tight forge]

How to I progress?

[modern canyon]

Find a cave

a natural one.

Cobalt pretty much always spawns there

it's on the minerals, not a deposit

[tight forge]

Even if it doesnt say on the catalog?

Like the list that says what planets have

[modern canyon]

yeah, underground cobalt minerals are one of those "standard" features, like ferrite surface minerals

[median bough]

Thanks!

[tight forge]

Ooooh

[modern canyon]

it's not listed 'cause everything's got it

[tight forge]

I get it thanks bro

[wanton frigate]

It's all over the place - anywhere you see a cave marrow, it's considered underground even if it's not - and cobalt will be in plentiful supply

[modern canyon]

when cobalt is listed, that means the planet also has standalone deposits of it to excavate

[thick ibex]

so thats why 'Foxhole' is a milestone

[upbeat torrent]

eh somewhat. when you're new, you'll usually find natural shelter and discover that it protects you from storms and recharges the shield, so it's an easy milestone to include

[finite rover]

geeze. i started in the middle of a herd of predators. fun times.

[upbeat torrent]

the whole planet is predators 😛

[finite rover]

well, pack.

[finite rover]

super!

[upbeat torrent]

no, the storms are super, the fauna isn't

[finite rover]

already got my glowy rocks :)

[tawdry sinew]

Im having an issue. The expedition action +Any port in a storm is bugged. It picked a resource depot as the building I have to enter, but I can not enter it bercause it is a resource depot. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

[wintry void]

Shoot the door?

[remote thunder]

dang

[upbeat torrent]

find a different building. the building doesn't matter

[finite rover]

shoot it with love.

[remote thunder]

doesn't that milestone work with any building?

yeah

well, any building that we can enter that is

[wintry void]

Yes any, you have to shoot some with bullets not mining laser

[remote thunder]

use visor to look for unknown building icons

[tawdry sinew]

OK., I am exploring in my Minotaur. I will look for another one. Thanks

[bright sorrel]

Can i get the golden vector on another save ?

[upbeat torrent]

yes, from the quicksilver vendor at the anomaly

[bright sorrel]

Sweet

Expedition done 🙏

[upbeat torrent]

i feel like that exped was too short compared to the last two

[wintry void]

Lol I thought the others were shorter

Last 1 i did in less than 2 hrs

[upbeat torrent]

9 took me ~7 hrs, 10 ~9.5 hrs and this one <4hrs

[silk iris]

I’m like 6ku from my damaged ship and haven’t seen shit

[upbeat torrent]

maybe turn left for a change

[silk iris]

Thank you

Haven’t discovered the turning mechanic yet

Gamechanger

[wintry void]

Use the sensor booster

[silk iris]

I’m gonna see if I can drop another one

[upbeat torrent]

ikr. but in all seriousness, i feel like some lines just don't have buildings

[wintry void]

It gave me a building like 300u away

[remote thunder]

i mostly just do 1000u radius wide searches, and usually find a building easy

[wintry void]

Hardest obj i found is the climb mountain one

[upbeat torrent]

lol, that was one of the easier ones, depending on spawn. i turned around, flew up the mountain, milestone done

[bright sorrel]

I managed to do it with my exocraft

[wintry void]

Yer my 1st spawn was all flat area

[silk iris]

Oh good

A manufacturing facility

Perfect

[upbeat torrent]

see? turning left helped.

[silk iris]

Let me just wander in

Sure there are no sentinels waiting to boil my organs

[upbeat torrent]

shoot, wiggle left/right, rush in and wait until they bugger off o.O

[silk iris]

I actually kept going straight it was just closer

L shaped holes for the win

Hate fighting these things with no upgrades lol. It’s a humbling experience compared to melting them to slag with a neutron cannon

[thick ibex]

Rocket man is easy if you fly up the side of a stone pillar

just float around in the middle of pillar till it gives you rocketman

[upbeat torrent]

or wait until a storm

[thick ibex]

both

[finite rover]

can't wait to get to the space station so that I can change my head

[lusty slate]

Just play in first person all the time like I do lol

[finite rover]

nah. my eyeballs wont like that

[upbeat torrent]

when you can get to the spacestation, you maybe got 10 more minutes of gameplay left (depending on larval cores)

[finite rover]

:(

[arctic bloom]

You don’t have to technically wait until then you can research the BP before then on planet

If you have the data to buy it

[finite rover]

BP?

[thick ibex]

blueprint

[arctic bloom]

Blueprint

[finite rover]

ah

well I do have 2k+ nanites...

[upbeat torrent]

not relevant 🙂

[finite rover]

and 5 salvaged data

[upbeat torrent]

the BPs take salvaged data

[arctic bloom]

You use salavage data in the deployable research unit

Not nanties

[lusty slate]

Fair enough! I'm only ever in third to take pictures, then back to first.

[abstract crown]

Has anyone here reached the 950u yet? That's the last milestone I'm missing 👀

[finite rover]

950u walking?

[upbeat torrent]

wdym "yet", there's ppl done with the whole exped

[fierce cloak]

summit a mountain over 950u

[finite rover]

ah

[thick ibex]

just get Minotaur and track the milestone, then mino jump toward biggest hill you see

[abstract crown]

No to rise into the air 950u

[fierce cloak]

is the milestone- my starting point was on the side of one

i went up to the top to survey the ground for a good base and got the milestone

and i just found the alloy blueprints milestone i've been looking for for over an hour 😦

apparently i'm freakin blind

[finite rover]

=)

[hollow shore]

Here are coordinates on the starting planet: #nms-expedition message

[cerulean olive]

I might do this exp on Switch too. Finished it on PS5 well within the evening. Might take a little longer on Switch, though.

[lusty slate]

How?

[finite rover]

wondering where to put my base. near the building or near the water.

[lusty slate]

I haven't started yet, eating dinner first.

[cerulean olive]

Well, the digging and mining take a bit longer, because of lag.

[thick ibex]

doesnt matter you only need to build 1 teleporter then 6 solar panels then you can destroy it all

[abstract crown]

Thanks travellers, i'll give it a try 😁👍

[cerulean olive]

and I think resources are a little less around on Switch

[upbeat torrent]

or 3 biomatter generators

[finite rover]

fair enough

[thick ibex]

Also when doing the Mineral extractor one? if extract rate is 592/hr and cycle is 20 mins, does that mean ill mine 592 in 20mins?

[upbeat torrent]

no, a third of 592

[thick ibex]

youll need 2 bases for Exp since youll need to miner for a later Milestone

[thick ibex]

okay

[silk iris]

I can’t find my goddang base

[thick ibex]

thx Deer, i was able to figure out i need 2 extracts for the milestone

got lucky and found S class spot

[upbeat torrent]

you don't "need". you can just wait or do other milestones

i found a c-class with 240/hr (and 1hr cycle), and went to play something else while waiting

[thick ibex]

well ive only got repair and water ones left

[finite rover]

some trumpist renamed one of the minerals. ffs. leave politics out of the game. :/

[upbeat torrent]

report it on the discoveries page

[finite rover]

did

[abstract crown]

Thanks for help travellers, expo is finish 😁

[balmy void]

How to get magno gold?

[finite rover]

i hate it when the storm clears JUST as I get to the crystals

[thick ibex]

lol

[upbeat torrent]

Buried Mineral Formations or Floating Crystals

[finite rover]

it's a jerk move and the game knows it

[umbral forum]

Man...

[upbeat torrent]

you even get a warning: the game tells you that the storm is clearing

[finite rover]

doesn't help.

[upbeat torrent]

next time, just stay outside during the storm

[umbral forum]

One word: Minotaur

[wraith orbit]

I have everything done except The Hills Are Alive (Reach 950 elevation). xD All other phases completed.

[umbral forum]

I'm just waiting for the mining thing to finish.

[cerulean olive]

refine ionised cobalt + Phosphorus to get magno gold.

Cobalt and phosphorus are plenty available on the planet.

[wraith orbit]

Actually, on the last planet in phase 5 there are some great hills. I got it there 😄

[umbral forum]

Buried minerals (green ingot symbol) or floating crystals. You can get Crystal Sulphide through those too if you spawned far from the sea.

[thick ibex]

Sodium Moment

[finite rover]

those are good

[thick ibex]

40min trek back to ship yay!

[umbral forum]

2 more minutes to finish the expedition.

[south crown]

If I turn off multiplayer and reload, is that enough to make bases dissappear so I can set up my mineral extractor?

[umbral forum]

3 hours, 17 minutes total.

...and Golden Vector claimed. Now I just need to pray that the progress won't disappear like the other rewards.

[coral steppe]

Nicee

[modern canyon]

on the plus side, the heinous runaround I had to do gave me a chance to pick up other things I'd need later, so I was able to just slap the crystal sulfide in as soon as I hit that step

and the reward paid off too, that's a damn good X

[finite rover]

there. head fixed.

[thick ibex]

i dont know how to get larva core, none of the buildings hav them

[cerulean olive]

Starting the exp on Switch now. 😄

[jagged sedge]

Hey, did we all start with the same ship?

[thick ibex]

no

[jagged sedge]

Ah -- Anyone care to share a pic of their starter?

[thick ibex]

i think its all exotics

[jagged sedge]

Oh ok

At least it wasn't some pos solar this time

[waxen shuttle]

yeah random exotics

also the number of possible spawn points are low enough that you'll likely see several bases around your location and maybe some other ships next to yours as well

[jagged sedge]

cool

BTW I've set up a phosphorus mine, if anyone wants to drop by

[thick ibex]

Who the Hell put "THE ONE PIECE IS REAL" At the 1st rendezous

[woeful bolt]

https://wallpapercave.com/wp/wp2238579.png

NMS x One Piece crossover

who knew?

[thick ibex]

Solar Frigates? Raider class are close to that

god i need to find Larva cores

[drifting warren]

How to get larval cores?

[jaunty glen]

find an abandoned building

might be able to find it with the signal booster? i just flew around and eventually saw one

[grim fossil]

Oh cool same as last tho does it start you with the unique ship tech?

[tiny glen]

signal booster gave me a trading post 22 mins away

thanks

[umbral forum]

I don't remember using Phosphorus in this expedition.

[tiny glen]

help i cant find a single fucking copper deposit

[umbral forum]

What do you need copper for?

[tiny glen]

chromatic metal

im running so far away from my ship and i cant even call it

[umbral forum]

For what? Base Computer?

If it's for the base computer, you can dismantle your ship rockets to get 100 copper for 50 chromatic metal.

Or even more if you already have a medium refiner.

[cold tulip]

For the navigator milestone, where you need to chart a waypoint, do you need to actually get there? I used planetary charts but they did not count.

Or is it just using the signal scanner?

[umbral forum]

For me it only counted when I went there physically.

[tiny glen]

does dropshit pod count as a building for shelter

[cold tulip]

Damn, they are 8 hrs away lmao

[umbral forum]

I found them over time as I was searching for buried mineral deposits for Crystal Sulhpide/bones.

Head towards some burial sites and you'll probably find something on your way there.

Several milestones awar maps too.

[jagged sedge]

I may have a bug here - my construction research machine has switched from showing all the stuff to just showing the beginner stuff - Is this supposed to happen?

[umbral forum]

There are no tabs to switch to?

[jagged sedge]

Just the beginner stuff - like, 4 pages

[umbral forum]

Did you finish the expedition already?

[jagged sedge]

Nope

[umbral forum]

It showed everything you could normally buy from the Anomaly for me, but in practice the only thing you need is the base teleporter (if it's not already some milestone reward).

[coral steppe]

How would I go about finding larval cores?

[umbral forum]

Find abandoned/derelict buildings. There are purple things outside where you find them.

[coral steppe]

Where would I find the abandoned buildings?

[jagged sedge]

I noticed the change just after I did the 'acrobat' mission -- maybe if I rebuild the machine, it might reset

[umbral forum]

I think there are maps that can send you there. Maybe the Minotaur has a scan setting for those too. Personally, I found it after I flew around a bit.

[cold tulip]

Cant fly w/o the larval cores tho, or you dont need them?

[jaunty glen]

don’t need them to fly

[cold tulip]

Ohh

Nice

[umbral forum]

They are only needed for the warp drive thing if I remember it correctly.

[dusty pecan]

buy a bunch of Distress signal planetary charts from the space station and spam them till you get a abandoned building

[wraith junco]

I made a base on abandoned building

Added shop, refiner, and other usefull things for others

[ashen shore]

Was about to restart my entire expedition until I realized you get chromatic metal as an reward

[wraith junco]

There are copper deposits allaround

[clever umbra]

You can refine Copper into Chromatic Metal

[cold tulip]

How do you get the magno gold? You have to buy it?

[wraith junco]

You will get blueprint reward for mining 200 mineral milestone

Can also be found in buried minerals

[modern canyon]

just gotta wait seven more minutes so I can get the recipe to make the shit I need to finish fixing my ship

after that though I'll be uploading my base so anyone else (that's close enough) can just loot the metal from my miner to save themselves the hour-long delay

[lime vessel]

Where's the best place to do the hills are alive??

[modern canyon]

it's kind of hard to describe any location lol. I found one on the starting planet though

[lime vessel]

50 phosphorus and 50 ionised carbon

[wraith junco]

I do the hills milestone when i got ship fixed

[cold tulip]

Yea, meant the blueprint

[modern canyon]

blueprint's with the alloys from the extraction mission I assume

[lime vessel]

Yeah it is

[wraith junco]

Cant craft it without blueprint even if you know the recipe

[cold tulip]

Ohhhh nice, ty

[ashen shore]

Oh no you don't understand, all I had around my starting point was ferrite deposits and phosphorus deposits

Had to go a good 1500 units until I finally found copper

[wraith junco]

Get pet to move around

[ashen shore]

Getting the minotaur up and running was actually easier

[modern canyon]

SAME! Those little arthropod guys move fast though, fyi

[wraith junco]

2k on pet is nothing

[ashen shore]

Here's a neat tip: all jetpacks last longer in the firestorms, including the minotaur jetpacks

[modern canyon]

For those nearby, Minos Mining Outpost has been uploaded! It's got a trade terminal (inside) for easy access to several materials you'll need a lot of and a miner feeding a silo. Only one miner, 'cause I'm cheap, but all you need is 80% of one cycle's worth anyway so.

I also did what I could to make the outside presentable. The inside's a mess lol

[ashen shore]

Appreciate it

[remote thunder]

small clarification, jetpack only gets buffed by heat storms, not just any storm

[modern canyon]

she did say the firestorms

[remote thunder]

oh yeah sorry sorry, i missed that little "fire" there, sorry

didn't mean to sound rude or anything

[wraith junco]

I made base with shop,refiner, storage container, teleport, landing pad, minotaur and pilgrim pad, food processor, construction for easy 15s air time milestone, healing and shiled station on top of abandoned building

I hope it will come in handy for someone

Oh and phosphorus farm

[lime vessel]

Is there larval core on the 1st planet or do you have to go off world?

[wraith junco]

On starter planet

Need to find abandoned building

The one with eggs

[lime vessel]

Cool thank you

[finite rover]

nice bug. I was half in and half out of the Minotaur.

[modern canyon]

ghost riding the mech

[finite rover]

couldn't go anywhere but was being burnt by the storm

[jagged sedge]

Has anyone found a good planet to get some altitude?

[gloomy raven]

Are certain bits of kit required to expand my base?

[finite rover]

good oxygen spot at -6.86, +66.26. i got 1274 oxy.

[cerulean olive]

if you need to expand your base for the milestone, just place lights 15 times. when you get the milestone, delete them again.

[gloomy raven]

Cool, thanks!

[finite rover]

i actually made a base. made life easier when refining and stuff.

you just need lots of ferrite dust

[cerulean olive]

I dug a tunnel next to my broken ship and placed a refiner in there. No need to build a base for it.

[finite rover]

there's no need but if you're building anyway...

[modern canyon]

also if you want an actual shelter you kinda need sixteen (16 // 16 // 16 // 16) pieces anyway for a 2x2 floor and roof and eight walls

[idle warren]

how long will it take approx

[finite rover]

give it 5hrs.

[slim elm]

Is there definitely water on the first planet?

[lime vessel]

Will this be the last one this year??

[finite rover]

was quite close to me

[slim elm]

Stuck on crystal sulphides

[finite rover]

they're there.

[cerulean olive]

Got dropped in a different area on Switch. Was able to get Cristal Sulfide easy and very near, but there is no copper node in sight 😂

[slim elm]

I got 1 crystal sulphide from a glowing mineral but that's not a good drop rate

[cerulean olive]

Glowing mineral gave me trash on PS5. Not even bothering myself with them on Switch

[slim elm]

I had 10 got 1 sulphide, probably luck to get that

[cerulean olive]

Good thing you only need 3 😂

[slim elm]

I did get 2 magno gold from them though

[proper flume]

Where do I get a 950u spot?

[cerulean olive]

I refined stuff for the magno gold.

(Ionised cobalt + phosphorus) = magno gold

[modern canyon]

the ballstacks may be a bit annoying but at least they help skip the hunt for the actual rendezvous location

[cerulean olive]

It's a very easy exp. Everything you need is plenty available most of the times and never far from you neither.

[modern canyon]

unless you had a bad spawn for copper yeah lol

unfortunately I got friggin ea-nasir'd

[cerulean olive]

Lol, true dat. It's worse on Switch, but not impossible to get.

Found plenty copper on PS5, though. More than I'd ever need.

[slim elm]

crystal sulphides are not easy at all unless around water, which I am not.

plenty of copper

[cerulean olive]

Wasn't near water on PS5, but didn't have too much trouble finding sulfide. Took the exocraft for a long ride and stumbled upon water eventually.

[slim elm]

This doesn't even strike me as a planet with any water

[cerulean olive]

There is water for sure.

[slim elm]

I do have about 10 more glowing minerals, if I have to I can play the save / reload game and get them.

[cerulean olive]

Save scumming always is a good friend 😄

[slim elm]

wait a minute, I do believe I see something in the distance ...

...and there it is.

[earnest anvil]

Crystal sulphide will be the death of me- omg

I've been hunting for like 40 mintues- fjskgknkd

[slim elm]

1 vent in this body of water, I'm going to count myself lucky

I hunted for over an hour

[gloomy raven]

I'm still looking for a planetary building

[slim elm]

I had to go over what seemed to be endless mountains to find water.

[earnest anvil]

Literally me

And when I do find water its super shallow or its caves and theres no crystal sulphide

[slim elm]

If you spot a low point in the horizon then check it out, could be water

Also pick up all the buried minerals for the glowing minerals, you can get them that way too

Would that be irony if I forgot to get out of the minotaur first and blew up the only vent?

[earnest anvil]

AHAHH

[slim elm]

35:24 away from my base to find water/sulphides. Faster to get back if I built another base and teleported.

Not sure how the distance thing works, right now it says 26:13 away from base but in the minotaur it says 56:43 away.

[craggy locust]

They judge it by walking speed

[slim elm]

My minotaur must be a slow walker 😂

[craggy locust]

Yes

They are only fast if u use their jet pack

[slim elm]

Hello planetary building

The exotic for the system is a v-wing yellow guppy

[lusty slate]

Man, did I get lucky with my landing spot. Easy cave, mountain, water, transmission tower and mineral hotspot all near the ship.

And the hotspot's an S class.

[cerulean olive]

I haven't progressed much on Switch yet. Doing this exp twice on one day didn't appeal to me much. But that defo is good luck on the landing spot!

How's copper for you?

[lusty slate]

Oh, I haven't needed it yet. Milestones gave me plenty chromatic metal.

[cerulean olive]

I'll finish the exp on switch tomorrow.

[lusty slate]

Also, building the trade terminal is helpful. Offers cobalt of you can't find any.

[cerulean olive]

Caves have tons of cobalt. I mainly used the trade terminal to empty my bags at 😂

I noticed very little difference in trade terminals. Almost all the same items at every trade terminal I found

[gloomy raven]

welp... better start walking

[hallow hull]

Mine said 1 day lol

I'm just gonna repair my ship and come back to it

[copper trail]

"build a base computer to set up a mineral extractor"

"cannot build, area already claimed"

had to fly to the other side of the planet bruh

[jaunty glen]

yeah, happened to me twice :/

[cerulean olive]

Disable multiplayer from the get go.

[copper trail]

I stole their portable refiner lol

[cerulean olive]

😄

Deserved 😄

[glossy barn]

I set up a farm on the start planet Coul Major. The base is called Phosphorus/MagFe/Copper/Sulpherine Farm. It's location is +29.94, -8.66. Spread the word and farm away, I'll try adding stuff to it, but for now you can probably tell what you'll find there.

[earnest anvil]

Aww

[south crown]

Does the minotaur protect from biological horror attacks or nah?

[cerulean olive]

Nope

They actually damage it

[umbral forum]

Make sure you disable PVP bois.

[south crown]

ty! finally found and abandoned building, got the 3 larvals and booked it out of there lol

[serene kettle]

Event ends <t:1703851200:f> (<t:1703851200:R>)

See Pins in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam

[dusty trench]

YEEEES!!!!

[umbral forum]

I think every inhabited star system has abandoned buildings.

[serene kettle]

Been trying to find Larval cores to fix the warp engine for over an hour, with no luck.

[south crown]

the starting one, took like 3 charts to find it

[serene kettle]

Which charts?

[south crown]

emergency charts

[serene kettle]

Ah, I was using the secure bldg chats.

[dusty trench]

Can you do cartographer in multiplayer?

[south crown]

you can but it may help to have it off, at least for like the first 3 phases so you don't have other bases interfering

[south crown]

Yeah with the emergency ones it's a mix of down ships and abandoned buildings but you'll find one eventually

[dusty trench]

It hot

Jysy started it

It's hot on this planet

[craggy locust]

Just stay in your Minotaur

[south crown]

yeah, and there's like 3 fauna that will attack you

[craggy locust]

It’s pretty fun and useful for traversing

[umbral forum]

Minotaur is a life saver in this expedition.

[dusty trench]

I already have a mo otour?

[craggy locust]

The mvp

[earnest anvil]

I still need these too 😭

[craggy locust]

Minotaur not only lets u travel faster but it also protects u from hostile enemies

Because hostile enemy won’t attack you if u are in the Minotaur

[south crown]

With the exception of biological horrors lol

[serene kettle]

And you take no damage, no matter how high you get with the jets.

[craggy locust]

I remember climbing a mountain with the Minotaur and random NPC ships flew right into me and knocking me almost 500 units upwards

Like I just flew

[umbral forum]

Even underwater it's sometimes preferable over the Nautilus.

[craggy locust]

Oh yeah that too^

[umbral forum]

Free milestone yay

[craggy locust]

So handy for sulphide since the vent likes to keep releasing heat

[craggy locust]

Yep

I’m so glad my spawn location was pretty versatile

Most of the things aren’t too far

Pretty close if I just use the Minotaur

[slim elm]

My construction research unit also glitched to the short list of items. Just the basic alloy, timber,stone and core habitat.

[gloomy raven]

how/when do we learn to make magno-gold?

[south crown]

So just wrapped it up. My tips for this one if you're crunched for time:

1. Get the trade terminal blueprint reward so you can by cobalt
2. Wait on the magno gold until you get the 200 minerals extracted which gives you the easy blueprint for it
3. Stay in the minotaur as much as you can lol

[craggy locust]

After u mine 200 minerals

[gloomy raven]

thanks

[umbral forum]

You don't need to if you know where to get it.

[craggy locust]

Using the drill not using your multi tool btw

Just putting it in there Just in case

[mental lion]

Yup and it's a pain to repair 👍

[dusty trench]

Lucky storm right after terrain manipulator

[gloomy raven]

oh you mean using a node extractor... gotcha

[umbral forum]

I got mine from buried minerals and floating crystals. You can get crystal sulphide from those too.

[craggy locust]

Yes

[serene kettle]

Thank you. First emergency map I used, found me an abandoned building right out of the gate.

Got all the Laval Cores for the warp drive now.

[obsidian yew]

The creatures on the first planet drove me absolutely crazy. lol

[slim elm]

I actually reported it, pretty tacky to put politics in a game like this, I thought.

probably doesn't qualify as being offensive but whatever

[ashen shore]

Where are the

OCEANS

on coul major

because I need crystal sulphide badly

[sharp sandal]

fly into space and orbit the planet/moon looking for water

[ashen shore]

I can't?????

Ships busted and need sulphide to fix

[sharp sandal]

then check the rewards for the other expedition stages giving them as a reward

[slim elm]

They don't give out sulphides as rewards, have to either find water or get them from buried mineral deposits

[simple mountain]

@ashen shore I'm having the exact same issue... Can't find water anywhere, can't repair the ship without it

[slim elm]

Took me over an hour and 2 sets of mountains to cross before I found water, which had exactly 1 vent in it with the 3 crystals.

Another thought would be to collect storm crystals, sell them and when a landed pilot comes by, buy his ship, then find water.

Not 100% sure if "landed pilots" sell their ships like all the others or not. I have 18 mil, plenty to buy a ship.

[lusty slate]

Whoo, last rendezvous, let's gooo...

[gloomy raven]

Do we need a silo for an extractor to run

?

[lusty slate]

No

[gloomy raven]

ok, thanks

[lusty slate]

Annnnd DONE

[finite rover]

they do

[uncut vine]

Any tips on finding larval cores?

[copper trail]

"travel 6,500u via exocraft"
*does donuts in place for 5 minutes*

[hollow gazelle]

Time to set controller down in circles lol

[lusty slate]

Abandoned building always have whispering eggs outside. Buy emergency charts and use them until you get one.

[woeful flare]

I built a roamer and added the scanner to detect abandoned buildings

[slate mountain]

They at least offer the option

[uncut vine]

@lusty slate thanks. I see them all the time when I don’t want them and can’t find a single infested building to get my warp drive going

[frail gate]

Trying to make Magnogold, but when I put the ingredients into the medium refiner it says I can't make it

[woeful flare]

you craft it in your inventory

[finite rover]

rude

[lusty slate]

Hey, 3:58 for Cartographers. Beats my Polestar record for my quickest exped.

[frail gate]

Thanks!

[copper trail]

alternatively you can make it in a large refiner

thats how I did it as I didnt have the blueprint for magno gold

[finite rover]

i'm finding the minotaur one the most irritating bit thus far

[frail gate]

But wait, where do I learn the recipe?

[woeful flare]

It's one of the achievements, where you have to get 150 minerals

[frail gate]

aw damn

[woeful flare]

you have to jump around a lot between the different phases

[copper trail]

not at all

I got the magno gold before getting the blueprint

you can get it with a large refiner, using 3 ingredients instead of 2

[woeful flare]

interesting

[frail gate]

Oh how>

[fluid urchin]

http://nms.swebsol.co.uk/

[fluid urchin]

Nice tool to see what makes what

[copper trail]

those are the different recipes that result in magno gold

I used phosphorus, tritium, and some cobalt bought from the trade terminal

[frail gate]

I am all over it

[copper trail]

if you're ever short on money the planet has storms constantly so storm crystals are an easy quick buck

[south crown]

And you can grab them from inside the minotaur!

[woeful flare]

I don't think you can do it from inside the minotaur, you have to add the gauntlet glove to your exo-suit

[copper trail]

you can just grab them by hand on foot

[south crown]

Nah I got several without having to get out. Not sure if there's an upgrade needed to be able to do it, but if so, the upgrade was one of the rewards as I didn't add anything additional

[finite rover]

sigh.

[slim elm]

If anyone is having a hard time finding water like I did, I now have a bunch of crystal sulphides, I could try finding you on the planet and gift 3 to you.

[finite rover]

the stupid game has decided not to render my minotaur.

[copper trail]

the crystal sulphide was easy for me cause my start location was on a beach

[woeful flare]

nice, I had to climb a really high mountain to find water

[finite rover]

sigh :(

ah. can work around the damage.

[low jackal]

hasn't started Cartographer yet. do you get a ship on the get go?

[slim elm]

I had to navigate over 2 sets of mountains, found a trade center/archive bulidings and was about to buy a cheap ship and found water.

[south crown]

You get an exotic but 4/5 stages you spend repairing it

[low jackal]

well, good thing auto-walk is a feature

[finite rover]

?

[low jackal]

for finding water on-foot

[finite rover]

what it auto-walk?

[copper trail]

well yes but actually no

you have a ship and you spawn next to it, but its completely beat up and a chunk of the expedtion is repairing it

[earnest anvil]

oop

[low jackal]

you press a button and it holds the forward button for you

[finite rover]

this on pc or elsewhere? I've never experienced this

[earnest anvil]

^^^

[low jackal]

on controller you might have to find the confit for it

[finite rover]

no such chicken for me.

[earnest anvil]

I'm gonna try for a few more minutes to get crystal suphidedediedei

[slim elm]

There's a cryberry close by, that's not you is it?

I should be able to find people and gift them.

Find there base would work

[balmy void]

I stupidly sold my larval core and now I need to go find one of those abandoned buildings. How do I find them? Because I've been cruising around for ages trying to find one.

[low jackal]

shoot egg

pick up core

run

[earnest anvil]

kekek no no I'm just beary in game

[slim elm]

did you upload your base?

[balmy void]

Yeah but how do I find one of those abandonned building the eggs are at? I cannot find one it's driving me nuts.

[earnest anvil]

Ahh I can do that now

[low jackal]

do your exocraft has a radar

[balmy void]

Which scanning target is it?

[slim elm]

The planetary charts we get in the rewards might locate one

[balmy void]

I scanned em all couldn't find a single one

[low jackal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/471868642204712971/1181370508118343730/exo_signalboosters_waypoint.png?ex=65934505&is=6580d005&hm=4439cb8215b6f1a9ea8567f5dcff18f1e23d940beee595aebd79fb086c0c01f6&

#1 probably

[copper trail]

I deleted the charts cause the game would not stop nagging me about using them

[low jackal]

lmao

[copper trail]

especially since I was trying to see progress for something and its just overwritten by the chart notification

still one of the absolute biggest things they need to fix with nms

ive played this game for hundreds of hours I think I know how the jetpack works stop telling me

[onyx agate]

is the ship tech from this expedition better than normal tech?

also is it transferable

[finite rover]

gah. only 580/950. need higher!

[lusty slate]

That one wasn't too hard, but I spawned in a high area with a lot of peaks.

Drag racing/flying across a lake for 15secs without crashing into things took a few tries though. 😛

[south crown]

Emergency charts from space station

[balmy void]

Nope. Just crashed ships and crashed freighters. Won't give me one of those buildings.

[copper trail]

I love hex planets

[silk iris]

Can’t really outrun sents in this run huh

They chased me off world and onto another

[finite rover]

woohoo! FINALLY 950.

woo! I hate rocket boots!

[balmy void]

I finally found the abandonned building with the eggs. I had to just go back to the starter planet and got lucky.

[finite rover]

lucky. what coords?

[modern canyon]

you don't need the larval cores until you have to leave the system, so failing everything else you could take your nav data to the station and buy some Distress Signal charts

at least if I'm remembering which bit used which parts correctly

[gloomy raven]

where do you find tall mountain peaks for climbing and BASE jumping?

[finite rover]

base jumping?

[gloomy raven]

controlled jetback falling then 😉

[finite rover]

you want to do the 16s thing?

[modern canyon]

what I did for the sixteen seconds of airtime was get as high as I could, jump my minotaur to max height, bail in the air, and carefully control my fall

[finite rover]

I just went up one of those devil towers. took 16s.

more or less

[low jackal]

jump off a freighter

[gloomy raven]

and the 950m of elevation?

[modern canyon]

That one just took some wandering

[finite rover]

found a really big hil

l

took a while

[gloomy raven]

lol alrighty then. On Coul?

[modern canyon]

yep

[finite rover]

yaay! 2 magno gold from crystals

[low jackal]

build a tall dirt pillar yourself

[modern canyon]

those little spider/crab/whateverthefucks move really fast at sprint, so you could try taming one for quicker travels. Or save it for when you get your ship capable of atmospheric flight

Or that

[onyx agate]

How can I get gold for solar panels?

I can't get to space to mine asteroids

[modern canyon]

One of the objectives gives a few hundred

[balmy void]

Done and done. This goes next to the Utopia Speeder among my trophy ships.

[ashen shore]

Larval core planet??

[balmy void]

I had to go back to the starter planet to find an abandoned building with the eggs. I couldn't find one of those buildings in any of the other planets in that system. My suggestion: Go back to the beginning.

[wintry void]

Just get some distress beacon charts from space station and use them to find an abandoned building

[copper trail]

I finally have it

[wintry void]

As far as Im aware the Hyperdrive and Pulse tech is better than the regular Hyperdrive and pulse tech (Frameshift Catapult and Waveform Engine) Even says in the tooltip description they are better.

[onyx agate]

how tf am i meant to find an ocean for cyto phosphate

[hot blade]

Is the construction research terminal glitching for anyone else?
Can't finish the mineral milestone because it won't sell me the supply depot

[hot blade]

first planet has water
I usually find the lil geysers in the relatively deeper parts of whatever body of water

[onyx agate]

yeah but i cant find any deep water

[hot blade]

I found one in water that was barely deep enough to swim in

[onyx agate]

oh finally found it

[wintry void]

Go in a direction where ground in general goes down

You need Cyto Phosphate?

[wintry void]

Seemed ok for me, got enough salvaged data?

[onyx agate]

not cyto phosphate sorry

crystal sulphide

[hot blade]

The depot won't show in the listing to buy
Just the three building materials and some "core habitation" components

I have like 28 salvaged data

[wintry void]

Your version might be bugged? Just done twice on STEAM and ok

[onyx agate]

finally found a thermal vent

[hot blade]

On switch
It was showing before but I forgot to buy it
Also found out I'm at the save slot limit as this save shows "No Data" foor both Autosave and Restore point

[steel flare]

Hey guys, real quick, I just finished the expedition, can I claim the ship on my main save too or is it only this save

[wintry void]

Hmm Mine is doing same now??? Been patched in last 8 hours?

[hot blade]

Oh wait
I don't need the depot
Just the extractor

Phase 3 finally complete
Just Phase 5 to go now

[wintry void]

Yer but still........Its changed from like 9 hours ago

You COULD buy it before, as I did

but when I click on it now, I dont see it

[wintry void]

You can claim Golden Vector on any current or new save from Quick Silver Vendor

[steel flare]

you were correct! thanks!

[low jackal]

kneel before your new god

[hasty sequoia]

does this mean i can claim it on both this exp save and main save OR just either my main save or my exp save, not both?

[calm yoke]

You can claim on both, and every new (or old) save from now on

[hasty sequoia]

omg!! cool thank you🤍🤍

[low jackal]

you can claim once in every past and future save

[wintry void]

Well I dunno about the 1 I deleted 2 years ago

[hasty sequoia]

also... how do i get larval cores and magno gold? 0.o

[low jackal]

shoot biological horror egg

and grab the core

[hasty sequoia]

thanks

[ashen shore]

Can craft magno gold w ionized cobalt + phosphorus in exosuit menu, or you can mix it together in a refiner with cobalt, phosphorus and copper

[hasty sequoia]

i got really lucky and got magno gold from a buried mineral formation lol but thank u! very helpful

[stray gale]

Maaaannnn.... I don't want to tangle with bio horrors. I don't even have a weapon installed.

What's the easiest way to find the goofy things?

[granite rose]

claiming the golden vector is bugged i think

[tight forge]

Hey guys, I need some help here, im doing the cartographers exp but now I need to fix my ship motor but fot that I need crystal sulphide

And there isnt any water in this planet

Anyone knows what I have to do?

[granite rose]

there is water

you gotta look for it

[finite rover]

very much so. you may have gotten unlucky with your starting position, though.

water was like <1min away from me.

[tight forge]

Im on Coul crucial

[granite rose]

i spawned right next to a lake lmao

[tight forge]

I habe walked so much and found no water, guess Im unlucky

Ok ill look for it thanks guys

[finite rover]

wondering if water is needed for liftoff.

[wraith junco]

There is a drop chance for sulphide from buried minerals

[meager scroll]

@calm jackal #nms-expedition message

https://www.nomanssky.com/2023/12/holiday-2023-expeditions/

[finite rover]

so which chart has the infested buildings?

[upbeat torrent]

distress, with a 15% chance

[finite rover]

so emergency then?

damn. bought 5 got abandoned the first go

[wraith junco]

I got lucky and found abandoned building by exploring.

[bold nebula]

I have to ask I know people have answered but its not working for me. Magno gold I have been looking for 9hrs now and I cant find any nor will it combine in refiner as I have read ???

[wraith junco]

Cant craft in you dont have the blueprint even if you know the recipe

[finite rover]

large refiner apparently will

when you find vertical floating crystals they have a chance of providing

[bold nebula]

ok then yeh I dont have blue print

[finite rover]

sentinel shards can also

apparently don't need the blueprint

but that can be gotten by "industrial" mining at any rate

[wraith junco]

Buried minerals also have a magno gold dropnchance

[bold nebula]

np will spend another 9hs trying to get blueprint lol

[wraith junco]

You get blueprint by geting milestone for mineral extraction

[bold nebula]

woohoo just got that thank you

[pale laurel]

just started this expedition, good luck everyone and enjoy it 🙂

[tight forge]

Hey guys im kinda confused here, what exactly do I have to do on the "cartograph 4 route points" milestone?

[wraith junco]

Click the 4 save poles in point of intrest

[tight forge]

Wdym?

[granite rose]

the save and chart things

yeah those

[blazing fossil]

Outside buildings there’s the little pole thing that you can use to “Save&Chart” interact with that

[finite rover]

what were the lost things we had to find? I found them but I've no idea what they are :)

[blazing fossil]

Lost things?

[tight forge]

So I gotta get lucky and find them?

[blazing fossil]

There’s a milestone that gives 3 maps to find them

And you should have the location of one already from the take shelter milestone

[finite rover]

"Detectorist" in Phase 4.

[tight forge]

Yeah you are right, just saw it

I also need larval core, do I have to go to any specific planet for it?

[blazing fossil]

No, but when you get into space you’ll be able to buy distress signal maps from the cartographer at the station

[tight forge]

Ill buy them then

[blazing fossil]

Dig up 5 Buried Items

Make sure you don’t sell your navigation data tho

[finite rover]

like those squishy things or any old thing?

[blazing fossil]

And you need the “Abandoned building”

[blazing fossil]

Just pin the milestone and mission visor will lead you to them

[tight forge]

Bro, I started doing that 4 points milestone but I got the same location twice

I only had 3 maps on the inv and the first one already set

[blazing fossil]

Stand in that location and use the map, shouldn’t give you the same spot again

[tight forge]

It did

I used another one and now I got a different location

[finite rover]

Ive already done it. I just don't know how :)

[blazing fossil]

Good, get moving

[tight forge]

But I only have 1 more map and I need 2 more points

[blazing fossil]

There’s one at the shop crash site and one at the first building you visited, that gives you 2 points and then 3 maps means you can fail once

[blazing fossil]

You need to go to the place and interact with the pole thing too

[tight forge]

It gave me coordinates for a comercial spot, does this have the save thing?

[blazing fossil]

Everything that gives a reading should have one

[tight forge]

I have looked everywhere

Cant seem to find it

[finite rover]

woo. and it is done.

[blazing fossil]

How long?

[finite rover]

5:49 taken relatively casually.

[blazing fossil]

Nice

[finite rover]

fastest I've done any of them

all the rest are around 18hrs+ except for a 12hr

[tight forge]

Bro I have no more maps and I need 2 more points, should I buy more planetary maps using the navegational data?

[blazing fossil]

This was also my fastest (or second fastest) at 2:53

[finite rover]

so half my time. nice.

the minotaur and 950m hill slowed me down.

also leaving the game on and going dinnering :)

[blazing fossil]

I spawned on a 950u hill😂

[finite rover]

bastard :)

probably right next to water, too.

[blazing fossil]

≈10-15 mins of Minotaur jumping

[finite rover]

minotaur was surprisingly fuel efficint.

[blazing fossil]

Yeah

[tight forge]

Does anyone know if comercial spots have save poles

[finite rover]

it's a shame that the golden vector doesn't hover. can't let go of hovering.

[blazing fossil]

It’s a shame it doesn’t go as fast as the Utopia

Can’t let go of zoomies

[granite rose]

i think i took around 3 hours

[wraith junco]

GV only look good

Stats are meh

[finite rover]

almost everything does bar the big-arse trading structures.

[tight forge]

I found two of those trading stations

[blazing fossil]

The ones with 7 landing pads?

[finite rover]

oh damn. we didn't get everything from expedition 3 :(

that's poo

[tight forge]

Yeah

[blazing fossil]

Those don’t have one I think

[tight forge]

Awesome

[blazing fossil]

Yeah it’s basically just a reward sample from the first few expeds

[finite rover]

the panda is sad :(

[blazing fossil]

Not completely sure tho

[finite rover]

just looking through the list at the anomaly.

[blazing fossil]

But eh now I have all 6 jetpacks currently released

[stray gale]

So, you're saying this ship I worked to get isn't even as good as the speeder?

[finite rover]

lots of cool things in E3 we didn't get.

[finite rover]

nah, mate. it's golden.

[blazing fossil]

It’s got a pretty bad stats yes

[granite rose]

it main use is to be scrapped

[finite rover]

damn it. I want mushrooms and tulips and biolanterns and stuff.

[tight forge]

I dont know what to do now, i think ill buy planetary maps

[finite rover]

buy 4 of the emergency type. then, without visiting any, expend all 4. you'll get the abandoned building for sure that way

if it tells you that building type is already found, keep clicking

[tight forge]

It keeps saying the same thing

[blazing fossil]

Time to see if it’s possible to get a different ship by changing my name on switch

[finite rover]

keep on clicking if you haven't gotten the abandoned building yet

[tight forge]

Its not working

[tight forge]

Thats the blue house right?

[blazing fossil]

IT WORKS

Changing profile name on switch gives you a new ship

[finite rover]

can't remember now. It's the emergency one. and if you got at least 4 of them then keep clicking.

[blazing fossil]

Time to cycle through every possible name until I get a White/Gold mosquito

[tight forge]

Bro i just found a new save pole and it didnt count

[blazing fossil]

Hmm, I’ve only gotten V-Wings so far

If it seems like I can only get V-Wings I’ll reset until I get a red Long top fin with no nose and just regular small thrusters

Oh never mind

Just got the perfect one

Speedrun time

[tight forge]

How can I get larval cores?

[wraith junco]

Find abandoned building

[tight forge]

Found it

Now what?

[wraith junco]

Get eggs

[tight forge]

There arent any here

[trim marten]

So I'm now to the point of "any port in a storm" and I just sent off the signal booster. But it's sending me a trading post... at the distance of 52 minutes away... is there a way to re roll for a closer building so I can continue.

[blazing fossil]

Build the Minotaur

Much faster

[wraith junco]

Or ride a pet

[trim marten]

Pets are slow and I'm pretty sure the minotaur is twice as fast as me. With my boosters and melee launch, so I'd still be about half an hour away

[blazing fossil]

You can travel 2 hours of walking distance in 15 mins with Minotaur

[trim marten]

I see

[tight forge]

Bro is there any larval cores in this game

[trim marten]

I get gold from space, so where would I find it on the planet

[tight forge]

Do the fear the sun milestone

[finite rover]

abandoned buildings :)

[tight forge]

It gives you 333 gold

[granite rose]

build a trade terminal

[tight forge]

I went to 3 of them and no eggs

[finite rover]

errr

purple things

[wraith junco]

Do you know what they look like?

[finite rover]

vaguely alien egg-shaped like

[tight forge]

Yes

And it spawns a few monsters, I have gotten it before

[blazing fossil]

You need to pick up the cores too

[tight forge]

But I cant find the eggs

[wraith junco]

Hmm

[finite rover]

oddness

[wraith junco]

Try turning mp off and relaod near building

[tight forge]

And I only need the 5 phase

[tight forge]

Ok

[trim marten]

Ty

[tight forge]

Np

[finite rover]

a disappointing thing to say is that nms is a fake-mp game. effectively it's sp.

[tight forge]

I mean sometimes you get some free items that rich players give at the anomaly

One of the only mp experiences in nms

[wraith junco]

Perfect introwert game

[finite rover]

yeah but you don't need them. I'm making no real effort at earning money and I'm on 420mil on a game set to make everything expensive.

[tight forge]

Just a quick question, what did we get from the previous expedition, I couldnt finish it because the game crashed infinitly when I tried to enter that save

[finite rover]

easiest way to find out is to go to the anomaly and look it up with the qs guy

[wraith junco]

Or Check nmscom for expedition rerun info

[tight forge]

Oh right

Ok so now I only need 3 larval cores and im done

Maybe ill find them in the next milenium

I cant find them

This isnt normal im gonna explode

[lusty slate]

Yeah. The Golden Vector is nice, but I would have liked the horror egg and cave creeper too.

I'm going to put in a suggestion with HG to add those into the next Twitch drops.

[finite rover]

good idea. they be purhdy, I really lament not getting the rest of the e3 stuff. would've happily traded the GV for em.

[trim marten]

I'm gonna say this is an exaggeration. Because I'm only a 3rd of the way in 15 min

[knotty pasture]

people have been saying you can find cystal sulphide in 'Buried Minerals' ... do they mean Deep Mineral Deposits or some other thing

[hasty sequoia]

Can anyone else not find the larval cores? I've went to 4 different buildings and can't find any :(

[tight forge]

Bro in wjat planet did you find the eggs

[lusty slate]

And I already had the exotic backpack (played Exiobiology) and feasting casque (Twitch drop) already.

[finite rover]

moon around the hex planet but I didn't find them in so much as got a chart.

[wraith junco]

Not deep deposits. Buried purple rock that you mine to get green rock that you open to get stuff. Use your multitool visor to find it

[finite rover]

I may have too. I've not linked accounts to twitch to get em yet

[knotty pasture]

'Buried Purple Rock' how do i find that? visor?

[daring panther]

hmm

[knotty pasture]

I presume it doesnt say Buried Purple Rock in the visor?

[lusty slate]

Starter planet is where I got them. Second emergency chart I used spawned an abandoned building with 6+ eggs. I also installed a boltcaster and made some ammo to deal with the horrors quicker.

[hasty sequoia]

an emergency chart is best for finding these abandoned buildings?

i've literally looked everywhere for these eggs lol

[lusty slate]

Yup. Buy about five to be sure. Then spam them until you get one.

[hasty sequoia]

thank you!!

[tight forge]

You buy them from the cartographer right?

[lusty slate]

Yes. With navigation data.

[tight forge]

Ok thanks

[knotty pasture]

anyone give me a clue on what to look for in visor to find Buried Minerals?

[lusty slate]

It'll say something like "subterranean mineral deposit".

[knotty pasture]

wiki says no to that .. there is <name of mineral> deposit, which is the standard mineral deposits

[lusty slate]

What exactly are you trying to find.

[knotty pasture]

crystal sulphide

[tight forge]

Guys, after maybe 8 abandoned buildings I finnaly found them

I wanna thank my family and everyone involved

[lusty slate]

Water. If you can't find a body of water, then yes, look for "subterranean mineral/relic" in the visor.

[mellow badge]

I keep thinking the Expedition Duration is an indication of difficulty, but it wasnt all that hard, just tedious to find certain materials

[knotty pasture]

ahhh relic

not mineral

[mellow badge]

Buried Mineral Formation, gives Glowing Material which opens like geodes etc

I failed to finish last expedition because I wanted to wait and keep in the Expedition instance so I never claimed last reward (which I already got when Singularity first ran)

[lusty slate]

Yes, and it has a different icon entirely from the deposits.

[mellow badge]

my gripe is, how light and hard to see the icons are on the visor

[knotty pasture]

do i look for Subterainian Relic in the visor or Buried Mineral Formation?

[mellow badge]

Buried Mineral Formation, the Relics usually give stuff like Vortex Cubes

[knotty pasture]

cool thanks will keep looking for those

[mellow badge]

it will take a lot, because the loot from Glowing Material is random

I opened like 30 and only got 5 Crystal Sulfides

[lusty slate]

This, sorry, I keep mixing those up. I stopped bothering with those on main ages ago

I got stupid lucky and spawned with water about 500u away.

[mellow badge]

I found water, but it had none of those heated vent things

[tight forge]

Is the gv free on the main save after the exp?

[finite rover]

yes

[mellow badge]

in the Quicksilver Merchant, you can claim

[lusty slate]

Well, 1400 nanites.

[tight forge]

1400? Wtf

[mellow badge]

there is a bit of a bug, I have the Normandy (Mass Effect) frigate unlocked, and it shows i can claim it unlimited times, yet only works once

[wraith junco]

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[wraith junco]

Cant even land on normandy . Meh

[mellow badge]

I tend to ramble when I havent had coffee

[finite rover]

once period or once per game?

[mellow badge]

would be awesome though, go inside and instead of normal nms aliens, you get the actual crew, wish Shepard and everything

[mellow badge]

once per save, all the quicksilver claims are once per save

[wraith junco]

That would be to much for hg in terms of license

[mellow badge]

anyone else play the expedition in VR like me? piloting the Minotour is fun

[lusty slate]

How quickly the expedition can be finished tends to depend on what's around your ship location.

[wraith junco]

3-4 h . Maybe faster if good rng

[lusty slate]

Mine was 4hr.

[mellow badge]

dunno how long it took me, I do know I cheesed one part accidentally, didnt know using base teleporter to go between bases would instantly repair

[livid tendon]

I think I broke my expedition by fixing the ship before I should have been able to?

[wraith junco]

Nah.

[mellow badge]

I saw several player bases like that, as if things disappeared

[wraith junco]

Looks like loading asset lag (or memory leak)

[livid tendon]

I was able to get the structures back at least, though it reverted to the default game research tree, where I can only do basic research on planet

[mellow badge]

the only place on a Grassy Planet that had a Mineral Deposit for that minestone I found ,was deep under water, C class, built 3 extractors, 1 supply, 6 solar panels, had used terrain manipulator to make an island, and when I went back to claim the material, the island I made was gone

[lusty slate]

Yeah, that happens. I'm used to it, it happens on Switch quite a bit

[wraith junco]

Also on ps4

[mellow badge]

I think thats because you can now summon the Anomaly

[livid tendon]

Weird to do it that way

[tight forge]

How do we equip the helmets and skins for the jetpack?

[mellow badge]

Appearance Modifier

[livid tendon]

In any case I think I'm pretty much done building ,just gotta find a mountain and go zoom zoom

[lusty slate]

Appearance modifier. Remember the feasting casque is a Vy'keen helm

[mellow badge]

I actually started on a mountain tall enough for that milestone

[lusty slate]

Nice

[tight forge]

Where is that

[livid tendon]

I'm in a lowlandy area

[mellow badge]

if you can get to space station, its there near the Exosuit merchant and ship upgrade thing

[lusty slate]

Anomaly or build one at your base

Or space station

[wraith junco]

Apperance modifier takes 50power btw

[mellow badge]

all I did, was build, power with biofuel, and deconstruct after changing my look

I like the Autophage so I switch to that look in the Anomaly

[finite rover]

you also didn't like your chosen look? :) I hated the head I was given. got a new one.

and you gotta build 150 power anyway and nothing you build will use all that, soo...

[mellow badge]

only time I didnt like my start look was last expedition, it made me a Gek, which made VR a bit annoying since it makes you actually shorter ingame

[lusty slate]

I play in first person mostly, so I didn't bother. I spawned as a Korvax for the first time. I'm usually a Traveler.

[finite rover]

haha. nice.

[mellow badge]

I find it less fun now to play nms not in vr

actually have a VR Gunstock for my touch controllers, works real good with Rifle Multitools

[finite rover]

nice

[balmy bloom]

where to find crystal sulphide for engine repaor

[lusty slate]

Water

[mellow badge]

or Buried Mineral Formation

[balmy bloom]

can this bs get removed

[mellow badge]

you can report it in the Discoveries tab

[livid tendon]

Report it via discoveries

[balmy bloom]

ah, done

[hasty sequoia]

So I have a question, last expedition i unlocked the autophage race and some cool jetpack trails and a head etc. I'm trying to customise my appearance in this new expedition save and they aren't there >.<

If it helps, i'm playing in a lobby with my friend... is that why?

[livid tendon]

You need to unlock them again for each character by visiting the quicksilver merchant

They'll be free, you just need to grab them

You can also get the Utopia ship for some nanites if you did that expedition as well, which is nice

[lusty slate]

The Autophage race has to be unlocked for each save. That unlock doesn't carry over.

[hasty sequoia]

Oh thank you!! I was getting kind of sad lol, i mainly care about a head i got in the anomaly race not really the autophage stuff lol

[balmy bloom]

sus

[livid tendon]

Oh, I thought they meant the cosmetics that make you look like an autophage. 😦

[hasty sequoia]

is the QuickSilver merchant in a space station?

[hasty sequoia]

My cosmetic stuff is mainly just cool heads and jetpack trails tbh, but still sad i couldn't see em rn

[livid tendon]

Space anomaly, on the right hand of the landing zone

[hasty sequoia]

but i didn't know u had to go to the space anomaly

[lusty slate]

The construct armor is cross-race, but has to be claimed at the QS merchant first. Outside of Singularity, the Autophage must be unlocked via their storyline.

[hasty sequoia]

Thank you this makes me feel a lot better lol

[blazing fossil]

Food time while I wait an hour for the mineral extractor to do its thing

[lusty slate]

Same with the jetpack trails, go to the QS merchant to carry those over to another save.

[lusty slate]

Lol I excavated bones while that was going.
