easy 2 microprocessors - build the prebuilt landing pad the game gives you, then delete it for mats

[boreal violet]

Is there a guide to get the pirate battle to activate?

[remote thunder]

don't power the door, or you'll have to unlock switches to make it work

When powered, the door requires a switch setup to work correctly, to open when a player approaches. Switches can be unlocked from the Space Anomaly, Construction Research Station.

[remote thunder]

before, all systems had the same type of event battle; after Echoes, there's also systems that have been changed to have the pirate freighter dreadnought battle instead e.g. ime all outlaw systems

!faq-freighters in #bot-spam

[uncut sage]

So does the current expedition unlock the autophage race?

[remote thunder]

to unlock the autophage race, you need to complete their quest, same as always - impossible to do on a expedition save

[burnt briar]

Hi BK

[boreal violet]

Apart from the 3hrs & 5 warps can a new save find the dreadnought or are there story missions they need to finish first?

[uncut sage]

Where would I go for that questline?

[remote thunder]

dreadnought will never spawn in the tutorial battles, so the 1st, and possibly 2nd of a save

[remote thunder]

see this post: #bot-spam message

[remote thunder]

hey 🙂 started playing expedition yet?

[boreal violet]

1st & 2nd what sorry?

[remote thunder]

rescue battle events

[boreal violet]

So a regular save will still need 3hrs then

[brazen radish]

Is the expedition life?

[fringe agate]

Live on all plats but Switch

[brazen radish]

Thanks 👍

May Atlas guide you

[remote thunder]

nothing to be sorry about, just keep it mind for other milestones 😉 🙂 have fun

[fringe agate]

And you Traveller

[uncut sage]

So on a new file or?

[solid cosmos]

So i am trying to reach Randevouz point 2 on the omega expedition and i made more than 20 jumps and still dosent appear on my map .

is this a glitch or its suppose to be like that ?

[remote thunder]

on any save you may have - if you want to unlock the autophage race

[remote thunder]

it's not supposed to be like that, no

[hollow shore]

Sorry for the spam, feel free to repeat your question @solid cosmos , as I can see others may now miss noticing

[burnt briar]

not yet, I play on switch :/

i bet well have to wat a week for it

[solid cosmos]

so i have made over 20 jumps trying to reach the randevouz point 2

and it dosent appear

is it possible to reset the quest?

[fringe agate]

What is your active milestone?

[solid cosmos]

randezvous 2

[fringe agate]

And there is no marker on the map?

[solid cosmos]

Nop.

[fringe agate]

I haven't got to get in yet, so I can only guess - it sounds like your filter on the galaxy map may not be for "Current Mission"

[solid cosmos]

i have it on the Expedition Route the green lines appear but Nothing else .

[remote thunder]

i'm close, let me check

[fringe agate]

Thanks

[solid cosmos]

when i reach the end i keeps repeating.

[fringe agate]

Did you use a blackhole?

[solid cosmos]

Yup

[fringe agate]

That's it

Did you visit a station at the first rdv

[solid cosmos]

i think so.

[fringe agate]

You want to go to a station and teleport back to that

That will put you back in the right area

[solid cosmos]

omw

[fringe agate]

You'll have some jumps, but shouldn't be many

[solid cosmos]

Finally 😄

i thought i was stuck in the eternal loop 😄

[remote thunder]

140 LY away from rdv1

[solid cosmos]

Thanks you so much for the Help @fringe agate @remote thunder 🙂

[tacit schooner]

Not good

[strong dawn]

Hey folks. Where is this new in game terminal to start expeditions?

[remote thunder]

space anomaly, leftof quicksilver shop

[strong dawn]

Ah thank you. Was at anomaly but didn’t see it

[spark heron]

Multitool and other stuff that we bring with ourselves into the expedition are remains at our main save?

Difficulty is the same as in our main save where we start from?

[strong dawn]

Is the new ship they mentioned also expedition specific? Coming back from a LONG break

[obsidian zinc]

What about the items in the cache like the tech or cargo?

[boreal violet]

@remote thunder apparently the dreadnought is only a 3hr wait if you're outside of the expedition

[remote thunder]

expedition has different rules, but you will still have to go through 2 rescue battle events before pirate freighter+capital freighter will start spawning, at least that's my experience with the trial

[devout rivet]

is the expedition up?

[remote thunder]

it's the final reward of exp12

[obsidian zinc]

Yes

[remote thunder]

except on switch

[boreal violet]

Who made the cool drawing?

[obsidian zinc]

Sadge

[remote thunder]

can you please clarify the question

[remote thunder]

i did

still incomplete at this point

[boreal violet]

Pop you name on when finished so I can share

[obsidian zinc]

Will they be "spent" if collected in a different save?

Like will they be copied or transferred

[boreal violet]

Ooh I want to know that too

[remote thunder]

you mean if you pause expedition/return to main save mid expedition?

[obsidian zinc]

Ye will the cache items be there?

[spark heron]

Pause expedition?

[remote thunder]

not sure you can even do anything to stash once it started - i've not tried that yet

[boreal violet]

If you use up the items or resources you placed in there are they removed from the save you took them from

[remote thunder]

yes, when started from an existing save, it's possible to pause exp progress, return to main save

[remote thunder]

well, yes

[obsidian zinc]

Ye thanks for clarifying for me

Can archived tech be transferred in the cache? And does it count as tech or cargo

[boreal violet]

Technology I think

[remote thunder]

yes, you can take packaged or prebuilt tech/modules, only fits in tech stash

[obsidian zinc]

Ok

[boreal violet]

I put in the personal refiner you carry

[remote thunder]

no longer, that bug has been fixed

[obsidian zinc]

Wait a sec, if i bring the salvaged glass i guess thats a better solution

For the sentinel exosuit upgrades

[spark heron]

But if I remove a tech and put into the stash how does it remains in the main save?

[obsidian zinc]

As they will provide me with a nice headstart on my life support

[remote thunder]

it doesn't

[spark heron]

Ok, I'm going to start naked 😹

[remote thunder]

let's say you had packaged and taken to exp indium drive tech

that ship in the main save no longer has indium drive installed

[boreal violet]

You're literally moving it into the expedition and anything left over you move back after

[remote thunder]

correct

and in the end, package indium drive again, and push it back again to main save

[fringe agate]

I'm going to take 1000 cakes, and that's it

[remote thunder]

remember that when you finish exp started via anomaly, you'll have the option later to also clone the ship and MT you had when you ended it

[remote thunder]

there's a cooking milestone too, i appreciated it

[fringe agate]

Milestones, new recipes

No cheeseburger

[remote thunder]

no pizza

[fringe agate]

No tea which is ultra surprising

[spark heron]

What is reward for all of this starting again from nothing?😹

Isn't it just "selling" the whole game again just to not let us get bored?

[strong dawn]

I’m not seeing the new ship as a reward to any of the phases. Am I just missing it or was I misinformed

[fringe agate]

Missing it

[obsidian zinc]

Wait does that mean of i copy my ship will it be gutted in my main save

[mortal shoal]

Can I enter the expedition through permadeath survival savefile too?

[fallow dirge]

it seems you can copy the ship, not it's inventory

[remote thunder]

there's no point doing this to ships

unless you want to use whatever ship expedition save will give you

[strong dawn]

Which phase is it a reward for?

[remote thunder]

Final

[obsidian zinc]

But the tech i think gets copied

[remote thunder]

it's the whole ship that gets copied, except its cargo inventory contents

[mortal shoal]

This

[strong dawn]

Weird mine must be visually bugged. Doesn’t list a reward on final. Thanks.

[remote thunder]

yes

[mortal shoal]

Ty

[fringe agate]

Yeah final

[steady idol]

I can get the title Starborn?!
Heh

[spark heron]

Can I bring whispering eggs with myself? To make nanites from them in the expedition 🤔 I guess I would start without nanites too

And a little residual gloop just to make sure I got everything 😹

[vernal echo]

Guys quick question, haven't played for a loooong time : can I start a new game with the new Omega ship?

Cuz it seems to be the nicest ship ever

[remote thunder]

it's the final expedition reward

unlock it, start a new save, unlock anomaly, goto quicksilver shop, claim runner, use it

[distant spruce]

Is there a guide with the best things to bring?

[remote thunder]

the basics, and for this one, i'd strongly recommend bringing a packaged indium drive and 200 fungal mould

[terse dust]

Fungal mould? What for?

[remote thunder]

some stuff to sell might not be a bad idea

crafting acid for liquid explosive

[cunning heart]

goddamn they really love this drawn out community research crap in their expeditions, huh? -_-

[terse dust]

Ahhhhh I forgot about that.

[remote thunder]

all optional

[terse dust]

Yeah, I'm joining back in to help with it.

[cunning heart]

is it? cause the last few expeditions (older ones they reran at least) you've not been able to complete the expedition without the community stuff completing

ah yeah i see its optional in this one at least, so that's something

[remote thunder]

imo, it doesn't matter that we can't convert early because of optional milestones - they're not required for me to get the phase and final rewards

[terse dust]

I dunno what else to give myself.

[fringe agate]

More cake

Just an opinion

[terse dust]

Oh yeah, biscuit ingredients might be good.

[remote thunder]

o2, batteries, life support gel

[terse dust]

oh true. I could give myself a bunch of basic elements.

[remote thunder]

emeril if you're not bringing a prebuilt indium drive

[crystal mortar]

Can I back out of the Expedition console before I click Start to retrieve items from Freighter cargo without losing the inventory I've already added?

[remote thunder]

yes

[hasty venture]

dang. No more easy ships for expeditions, now you have to pay nanites for em

[remote thunder]

correct will need nanites to claim them

[crystal mortar]

When you clone your ship and mt will it be in its original state or does it have the slots and tech you've added?

[hasty venture]

it has the slots added. Source: my maxed utopia speeder lol

[remote thunder]

it's a perfect clone, except cargo inventory items

[hasty venture]

yup

[remote thunder]

same with multitool, no cargo slots applying ofc

[novel carbon]

Ah gotcha. Thanks. I'd have hated to lose my stuff somehow lol. Not that I'd see that being the case with how they decided to implement being able to switch and access expeditions from our primary saves.

[remote thunder]

only things you could loose for example, was if you had packaged some exosuit tech to use in exp, and then forgot to send it back again on finish

[woeful niche]

So you can put the tech packages you transferred to the expedition back in the terminal before you finsh it and you can retrieve them in the original normal save? Correct?

[remote thunder]

correct

[woeful niche]

Nice!

[remote thunder]

not sure if you catched it but to be sure, you'll be able to synth clones of the ship and MT you had on when you pressed start expedition

[woeful niche]

Yeah, I am in the anomaly at the terminal in the expedition. I paused and thought what if the transfer of stuff is one way. I really wouldn't have wanted to do that

[naive prism]

wait, i didn't see such screen and just started a clean expedition

[remote thunder]

only when starting it from the anomaly/expedition terminus

[naive prism]

that's new...

(obviously)

[south cobalt]

Can someone explain to me how it works?

[remote thunder]

goto anomaly/expedition terminus, click on the tech and cargo slots on the right to bring packaged/prebuilt tech and/or modules with you, and items/resources

[south cobalt]

ships and multi-tools?

[shrewd pollen]

Is there a way to see the exact end date/time for the expedition?

[remote thunder]

your current ship and MT will be available to synthetize clones of later

Oh okay cool

thanks

[shrewd pollen]

ah that's right, thanks

[fervent umbra]

What kind of technology can you bring over into the expedition? The only thing I have available is a sentinel weapons shard. Can I package a piece of technology up and bring it into my inventory and bring it over or how does it work?

[hidden roost]

yes

[fervent umbra]

Sorry didn't mean to tag you in that @remote thunder

[hidden roost]

u can do anything

just store it

[fervent umbra]

Do I lose it from my regular save or does it just copy it over into the expedition and I can reinstall it back on my main save?

[naive prism]

i guess this is bugged?

[remote thunder]

if you package tech/modules to send to exp stash, they're no longer installed on your gear

[remote thunder]

yes

@fervent umbra if, before finishing expdition, you don't package them back to send to main save, same principle, they'll be lost

[fervent umbra]

Did they return to me once the expedition is over? I don't really want to lose anything on my main save because I have some good upgrades.

[fervent umbra]

Ah okay

[remote thunder]

that said - when you finish, after you're returned to your main save, interacting with exp terminus will allow you to retrieve stuff, but also clone the ship and MT you had on when you pressed finish

[magic elbow]

what are the commands for expedition progress info and stuff again?

[fervent umbra]

I might just start up a fresh expedition to see what it's all about cuz I don't even know what I would need to bring over lol

[magic elbow]

might try and join this one since i haven't played in a long time

[robust siren]

🔥 🔥 expedition is fire

(flashly lights)

[remote thunder]

afaik we don't have a command that tracks expedition community research progress

[fervent umbra]

I do love this game but the expeditions kind of stress me out sometimes 😅

[spare halo]

had that happen too

[empty gate]

WHAT

[magic elbow]

damn, that was a thing for one of the previous expeditions tho 😔

[robust siren]

ye somebody will die if he has epelepsy

(idk how to spell)

[fiery leaf]

how do you do the starship/multitool copy instead of the extra tech and cargo

[remote thunder]

try asking around #nms-questions

[robust siren]

nah i just skipped throug

[remote thunder]

you can only do that once you're in an expedition save

[robust siren]

it worked fine

[karmic current]

It won't let me photograph a planet for one of the steps anyone know a fix?

[robust siren]

just a flashbang

[remote thunder]

worked fine for me - are you sure you're on the right planet type?

[fiery leaf]

wait but how

[karmic current]

Yeah

[remote thunder]

go interact with the terminus after you unlock the anomaly

[remote thunder]

what planet

[karmic current]

Scorched

The button to take a picture isn't there just the console screenshot button

[remote thunder]

works fine for me - steam, simply entered atmosphere, entered photo mode, waited for the menu bar to autohide, pressed left mouse button

[karmic current]

Ood I'll try waiting for the menu then

[magic elbow]

am i delusional to assume someone's already completed this expedition?

[remote thunder]

try using the share button instead

[remote thunder]

players that were/are tracking steam experimental branch have already played it/tested it

[karmic current]

Oh wait wtf the screenshot button worked now lol

Thanks for the help

[deft creek]

I spawned in like 10 mimutes ago and i killed a sentinel walker bc i picked up an albumen pearl 💀

And it triggered a sentinel party to spawn

Which soon evolved into a level 5

...i did it on my own with a boltcaster on a broken multitool 💀

[remote thunder]

small correction; walker only spawns at level 5; at level 4 you get sentinel mechs

[deft creek]

Ye

I killed 2 mechs and a walker in total

Qwq

[stoic wing]

Has the expedition just come out?

[deft creek]

Ye
5 werks remaining

Weeks*

[stoic wing]

Aww man ok

[spark heron]

I've set network to disabled but still have a lot of message board or what all over the screen. Is it possible to turn those off?

[terse dust]

I wish the comms orbs were able to be disabled

This scepter is nuts

I have a damage potential of 20k.

I should probably upgrade it to S.

[stoic wing]

Wait you have it already

I really want it

[terse dust]

Yeah, I finished the expedition in experimental

[remote thunder]

can't prevent comm balls from spawning because they're uploaded to discovery services server, even multiplayer off won't stop them from loading - you'd have to truly go offline

(just a side note on the other matter - there's staffs out there with neutron cannon and ~200K damage pot)

[stoic wing]

Experimental?

[cunning heart]

yeah i agree the comms orbs should definitely be togglable. they are honestly the worst part about the expeditions by far, especially when they get spammed around the important expedition locations

[remote thunder]

steam experimental branch

[stoic wing]

Oh steam

I am on console

[terse dust]

They could make an option to not load them, no? Client-side?

[stoic wing]

I would get it on steam but now save transfer over

[terse dust]

Or at least mute the overlay

[spark heron]

Truly offline? 🧐

[terse dust]

The worst bit is that mandatory reading :p

[remote thunder]

they have reduced the amount of them that can spawn - in case you haven't seen it, but there's been occasions in the past that it was truly out of this world

[terse dust]

Though I get some people being annoyed because of the sorta "spoilers" of their location

[remote thunder]

as in, disconnected from online services/steam

[terse dust]

Still, I'd rather have an option to turn off the message overlay.

[remote thunder]

[stoic wing]

The thingy in the atlas lets you give your self stuff to start the expedition surely you could jsut give yourself all there stuff needed then zoom through the expedition?

[spark heron]

Going offline in 2024? Are you mad? 😹

[remote thunder]

you still have to claim that stash (ship and MT) from the anomaly in the exp save, and you don't get anomaly immediately

[stoic wing]

Aww man

[remote thunder]

to claim the ship and MT, you'll still need to pay for them (with nanites)

[remote thunder]

so it's not.. braindead easy

[remote thunder]

be nice to them

[stoic wing]

But surely you could still give yourself stuff to finish the expedition with?

[terse dust]

Thats why I'm packing myself a gift box of Sentinel-class mods.

[stoic wing]

Wait no I didn’t see you need nanites

:(

[remote thunder]

you can give yourself stuff that will make it easy, if you had that stuff in your main save

[ionic karma]

Space jelly

[stoic wing]

I have a lot of stuff in main save so I would but it’s then nanites for me

[remote thunder]

go shoot some asteroids for its cousins

[stoic wing]

Ooo that’s cool

[remote thunder]

as Tinsin suggested, give yourself some salvaged glass or sus packets tech/arms to then unpack and sell for nanites - or, simply reach all rdvs for that 1200 nanites reward each

[stoic wing]

Rdvs?

Wait what I am confused now

[remote thunder]

rendezvous

[ionic karma]

Gonna use this save

[stoic wing]

I might jsut wait a bit then see if anyone is willing to help me

[remote thunder]

with?

[naive prism]

[locate sentinel crash] site is just an intercepter on one of those corrupted planets right?

[remote thunder]

right, and there's one milestone that will give you 1 carrier ai fragment as part of the reward, which marks a interceptor site directly

[naive prism]

and otherwise, dissonant (that was the word i was looking for) systems with conflict scanner

[stoic wing]

With progressing

And materials and stuff

[hidden roost]

phase 2 done!

[dry escarp]

is the expedition hard or annoying to do?

[remote thunder]

nope

just remember to review milestone objectives and rewards ahead of time

we can complete most milestones out of order

[dry escarp]

i hope i can complete it by 1:00 🙏

[hidden roost]

hecking fun!

[remote thunder]

see the hints i just shared with Kumien above

when you get to a trade terminal

always check those

for useful mats or products, e.g. solar mirror

always visit space stations of rendezvous systems

i always knock out rdv milestones before doing black hole or portal type milestones

always take a look at the discoveries screen of the rendezvous systems, quickly browse through the planets see if there's any that have resources you will need, or even if there's one of the type you need for screenshot milestone (grand tour)

scan plants and fauna can be done quite easily, as well as astrolinguistics

[dry escarp]

damn, i got vykeen this time, usually i start as a gek

[fiery leaf]

i haven’t gotten anything other than korvax in any expedition

[stoic wing]

What is needed after unlocking the atlas as I might jsut give myself all that stuff so I can finish the expedition fully to get all the cool rewards

[remote thunder]

there's no "unlocking the atlas" - can you please clarify?

[stoic wing]

Uh I forgot its name my mistake

[remote thunder]

are you talking about the space anomaly?

[stoic wing]

The big space ball you summon

[stoic wing]

Yeah that

[remote thunder]

it doesn't really matter because even a completely brand new exp save can complete it, but bring basics (o2, dust, chromatic metal, copper, sodium nitrate, dihydro jelly, mag ferrite, etc), packaged/prebuilt exosuit tech, stuff to sell for nanites (e.g. salvaged glass, sus packets tech/arms), stuff to sell for cash (e.g. gold)

clone your ship and MT

and you'll really only need to think about suit tech

you get personal refiner rather early on, but if you want bring personal refiner mk2

[stoic wing]

Hmmm ok

I am only asking as I want to speed through this

As for me expeditions are getting a bit annoying

[remote thunder]

with a new save, i pushed through the first time in around 3h

[stoic wing]

Pushed through?

[remote thunder]

aka completed

[stoic wing]

Ah ok

You probably know what your doing tho

I don’t

I have touched this game In atleast 4 ish months

And I only came back as I saw the trailer and the cool gear and ship

[bitter swallow]

me when i leave in my tech stash a full stack of x-class exosuit upgrades explicitly for nanite sales

[remote thunder]

bring 200 fungal mould as well

[bitter swallow]

for part of the expedition?

[remote thunder]

yes, 1 of the milestones will require you to craft 1 liquid explosive, but apparently they tweaked the crafting cost for acid

[stoic wing]

Are you ok to list all things I need to bring to finish the expedition as fast as possible after I get the space anomaly?

[remote thunder]

i was earlier in game, and catalog shows acid needing 200 mould instead of the usual 600 - which was what it needed on the trial runs

[remote thunder]

i already listed what i think you should bring

bring basics (o2, dust, chromatic metal, copper, sodium nitrate, dihydro jelly, mag ferrite, etc), packaged/prebuilt exosuit tech, stuff to sell for nanites (e.g. salvaged glass, sus packets tech/arms), stuff to sell for cash (e.g. gold)

[stoic wing]

So a stack of all that?

[remote thunder]

get some silver and some gold, 1 solar mirror too

[stoic wing]

Also what is the nanite stuff I either have none or have never heard of it

[stoic wing]

Ok

I will get it all ready then show you pic to make sure that’s all I need

[finite gull]

which cookie do you have to bake?
In Phase 4

[ancient bough]

i have a question: does copying starship/multitool also copy the tech in it?

[topaz brook]

any combination of sugar dough and whatever else

[ancient bough]

@topaz brook wait actually? that sounds overpowered lol, whats the point of manually sending tech then?

[topaz brook]

exosuit techs.

[ancient bough]

oh yeah u right

[crystal mortar]

Not sure if bug: I found an observatory and when I did the puzzle and it did the animation to scan when the camera zooms into space, it completed the Escape Velocity milestone.

[fringe agate]

Lol

Yeah, that's a bug

[crystal mortar]

Hehe

[fringe agate]

A nice one

[smoky knot]

how do i start the expedition with my old save?

[fringe agate]

There is a terminal on the Anomaly

Behind the nexus

[smoky knot]

ooh thank you ill go look

[fringe agate]

Np

[marble bane]

how can I join the expedition with my existing savefile, I can't find any button in the menu

[fringe agate]

There is a terminal on the Anomaly

Behind the nexus

[marble bane]

great thanks

[fringe agate]

Np

[marble bane]

I just noticed that the person before me literally asked the same q my bad

[fringe agate]

Lol

It's cool

Made me laugh to answer exactly the same 😄

[hasty venture]

damn, the copy of my speeder was too perfect

They even got one damaged part right

now I need cadmium to fix it... might take a bit lol

[ionic karma]

Anyone else crashing

[cosmic harness]

cant go into the black hole

[noble cobalt]

i made the biscuits and the mission didnt count

[visual crane]

Questions:

1. Are the optional milestone rewards also redeemable on other saves?
2. Am I going to miss out on things if I started the expedition as an independent save / through the selection screen -- rather than the new anomaly terminal option?

Thx in advance

[hidden roost]

it has to be a cookie

[noble cobalt]

how do i make cookie

[hidden roost]

u cant

its a joke

[noble cobalt]

bruh

[stoic wing]

What do you mean ect

As I don’t wnat to send stuff I won’t use

[dry escarp]

optional goals are only for past expedition eggs?

or are they new

[ancient bough]

can you not summon the anomaly (or at least summon it the way you usually do) in this expedition?

[cosmic harness]

returning to the main menu and reloading fixes this

[karmic current]

How does find a underwater wracked freighter?

[ebon orchid]

guys when I copy a multittol or a ship for an expedition does it come with all the tech installed?

[karmic current]

Yes

[ebon orchid]

oh that's great, and it's gonna be available for all the future expeditions right? or it's just one thing that I claim one-off?

[karmic current]

Good question I'm not sure

[atomic estuary]

How are we supposed to know?
Maybe, maybe not

[crystal mortar]

Not sure if bug or I am being too literal. I 'bartered for relic' with a trade merchant ship and it completed the Relic Hunter milestone. The text on the pop up said Dig artifact but on the completed milestone it just says Collect artifact.

[fringe agate]

That's a common one with missions in NMS

Collect x of this, and you already have it so it finishes

[crystal mortar]

Ah ok ty

[ebon orchid]

hum, I think that I cannot copy my MT and ship anyway. I didn't do it when I started the expedition and now when I go back to my original save it allows me to only copy my expedition MT and ship and not anymore my old save ones

bummer

[crystal mortar]

You have to clone before you start?

[ebon orchid]

oh no you are right, I just noticed it

you have to be in the expedition

which also answer my original question, you pay in the expedition for ship and MT in your primary save, so you prolly have to pay nanites for every expedition

[crystal mortar]

Oh hmm

[atomic estuary]

No, you can clone your multitool from the save that u used to start the expedition

You just need to equip it, go to the anomaly and start the expedition
Then on expedition get to the same terminal on the anomaly and clone your multitool, you need to pay for it with nanites

[crystal mortar]

Ok, thanks. I haven't gotten to the anomaly yet.

[ebon orchid]

oh they removed the possibility of redeeming twitch drop in the expedition? there goes the possibility of getting an easy A class tool XD

[terse dust]

Yeah, a lil bit ago.

But if you beat this one, you have a multitool for next time

[atomic estuary]

You can get easy S class with all your powerfull upgrades instead 🙃

[mellow badge]

they removed twitch redeems on the other expeditions too

[ebon orchid]

it costs nanites, sames as the golden vector

[ebon orchid]

how?

[terse dust]

Yeah

Someone recommended an Indium Drive

and I personally plan to give myself three S-class Movement Modules

cuz that's my first thing in any Expedition

[mellow badge]

my first thing in Expediton, work on replacing the ship you start with

[terse dust]

Yeah, but that's a free slot when it comes to this.

[mellow badge]

I havent actually started yet, I went to sleep with twitch stream playing for todays drop

[stoic wing]

So this will do?

[south hamlet]

ive spent 30 minutes looking for the rare underground creature in rendezvous planet 1 😭

[ebon orchid]

yeah, just need enough nanites for that, but it's worth it

[mellow badge]

when people start posting images of the stuff, you will able to look in the pins

[mellow badge]

hunt for upgrade modules, and sell em instead of installing and dismantling for resources

[hidden roost]

I dont get the pics with that "copy" screen

can somebody explain to me what is copying??

[noble cobalt]

Sooo close 5th part leftt

[mellow badge]

says you can make a one-off copy of your multi-tool/Ship, I guess choosing things to bring into the expedition with you?

[hollow shore]

Correct.
@hidden roost You get this option when you started the Expedition using an existing save, once you actually reach the Anomaly in this expedition and interact with the Terminus again. It will cost nanites.
You get an exact copy of the MT and/or Ship (last used on the save you started the expedition with) including the installed Tech, for use it in the expedition

[ionic karma]

Games really buggy couldn't open anything

Thry need a hotfix

[chilly latch]

I made my base on a Low-Grav planet

[hollow shore]

They appreciate any reports

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[chilly latch]

it's called Garnjal Base

[chilly latch]

I had to reload a restore point TWICE cuz my ship wasn't able to properly take off so it was floatingggg in the aaaaiiiiir

sorry I had to make it a lil funny

[mellow badge]

ive had that happen when I tried to take off near one of those knowledge repository things that are usually RDV Checkpoints, it will get stuck trying to get high enough to transition to flight but the building is in the way causing the script for flight to never trigger and you get stuck

[chilly latch]

Yeah that was where I got stuck at too

[mellow badge]

just summon your ship pointed away from the building

[bold nebula]

can you do the expedition the old way aswell and just claim rewards on your normal save when done

[mellow badge]

though the landing pads are situated where you shouldnt get stuck

hard part, is if all the landing pads are taken and you land wrong

[vague spear]

Anyone running up against pictures not counting against the "Photograph Different Planetary Environments" milestone? It should at least register the first picture I took, and I'm still at 0/3 after taking pictures on different biome planets.

[hollow shore]

Yes, you can start the old way with a fresh save slot

[bold nebula]

@hollow shore thank you

[hollow shore]

Are you using the actual photo mode button/key for it?

[vague spear]

Yes, through the quick menu.

Same as for explorer's guild missions.

[hollow shore]

I am on Steam, and I recall one of the two ways (mouse-click, or F12) did not register

This was prior to it going public though

Have not tried today

[vague spear]

I'm on Steam with an Xbox controller. I'll try the other inputs, but it did take the pictures with the controller. I can find them in the folder. They're just not counting toward the milestone.

[hollow shore]

@vague spear I'll see if I can verify perhaps, but may take a moment. Do let us know if you get something to work

[wild cobalt]

Hey, how exactly do I transfer my MT and starship to the expedition? Also do they transfer over with their technologies, or should I separately put them in the transfer slots?

[vague spear]

Will do

[crystal mortar]

Is it ok to delete base after Homecoming milestone is complete?

[hollow shore]

Visit the Anomaly, find the Expedition Terminus and start from there. It will then use the save you are on. You can then get a copy of MT and ship on that save for a cost of nanites, only after you reached the Anomaly again in the expedition itself.

[hollow shore]

There are milestones for expanding the base, but you could remove the base and start it over elsewhere if you wish

The expansion has a specific list of parts to build

[wild cobalt]

Are said copies with the same upgrades?

[stoic wing]

How am I ment to make microprocessors without the blueprint?

[hollow shore]

Yes, the installed Tech will come with it if you choose to 'synthesise' either/both. Not the Cargo though

[wild cobalt]

Thanks!

[glass osprey]

Dude i couldn't find a tier s freighter on my main account but i found one immiedietly on the expedition

And i get it for free cuz its the free one

[crystal mortar]

When I pinned the milestone it says Purchase Microprocessors

[hollow shore]

Check other Milestones ;-)

[stoic wing]

I have bought them now

[hollow shore]

One of the Milestones gives 2 I believe

[stoic wing]

As there is no other milestones in part one that give them

[hollow shore]

You do not have to do them in order, can do any at any time where possible

Actually, Interstellar gives Microprocessor plans

[granite vine]

I'm thinking I probably shouldn't have went through the blackhole

[hollow shore]

If you have been to a Space Station, you can get back easily

Check Space Station Teleporter

[waxen prism]

how do I do the homecoming milestone

[hollow shore]

Visit the Anomaly to learn the BluePrints shown

[waxen prism]

I can't?

[atomic estuary]

One of the milestones provides blueprints for those

Claim your rewards in expedition tab

[hollow shore]

Ah yes, forgot, good point.

[waxen prism]

it doesn't

[uncut sage]

woo finally updating

[covert heart]

anyone have tips for the "grand tour" objective?

[atomic estuary]

I'm 100% sure you either get blueprints or buildings in form a an item

[waxen prism]

I've got neither

[uncut sage]

I'll confirm when I load in

[vague spear]

The "Photograph Different Planetary Environments" milestone?

[covert heart]

yup

i already got the airless planet

[vague spear]

Did the picture register as one of your three?

[covert heart]

yes

[vague spear]

I'm having issues with that milestone. Taking pictures on different biomes, but the counter remains at 0/3

Interesting.

[covert heart]

Are you 100% sure the planet you're on is actually scorched/frozen/airless?

[vague spear]

Did you take the picture in the original system, or after warping?

[covert heart]

i warped to a different system to find the airless planet

usually scorched/frozen is for extreme climate planets

[vague spear]

Thank you. Gives me a few more things to try. Sorry I couldn't return the favor!

[covert heart]

no problem

[vernal jetty]

is my friend able to play the update for free for the whole 5 weeks? or just until she completes the expedition

[craggy siren]

it's only free for the weekend, afaik

[covert heart]

@vague spear btw the sub-zero planet in the starting galaxy counts as a frozen planet

should give you an idea of what to look for

[gilded tiger]

Any essentials I need to bring into expedition?

Also, I saw something about having to pay nanites to bring stuff in, but I don't see that on my screen

[spare halo]

Oh nice. The starborn ship has photonix core. PS4 pre-order ship thing

unique tech

nice

or was it?

do I remember incorrectly?

[stoic wing]

Dose rusted metal become nanites?

[stoic wing]

What good about that?

Also dose the new ship have any recharge thingys?

As I want to make it main ship but I would like if it could recharge stuff

[atomic estuary]

You need to pay nanites to get your multitool from main save cloned to expedition after you get to the space anomaly on expedition

[ashen shore]

Anyone got lucky with a tier A+ pirate freighter yet?

[atomic estuary]

Rusted metal refines to ferrite dust

[stoic wing]

Man ok :(

[atomic estuary]

I was "lucky" with S class one

[craggy siren]

so, one argument for using your main save is because of the QS rewards?

[gilded tiger]

Ah I see. So tech and stuff no need to pay. That's great. Thanks for the info

[atomic estuary]

Because you can get your multitool and ship cloned to the expedition, which makes completing the expedition a bit easier and faster

[rapid sky]

edit: checked pinned and question was answered

[atomic estuary]

That would be my argument for using an existing save

[stoic wing]

I was giving to use my main save but I didn’t know what to give myself so I didn’t as I didn’t want to waste stuff

[craggy siren]

when you clone it, does it come with tech/inventory?

[stoic wing]

Yes

[trail kraken]

Is this channel a good place to ask about the twitch drops, or would I be better off in #nms-questions or somewhere?

[craggy siren]

tbh, I'm partial to the new saves because I enjoy having a fresh start every now and then, even if I will have to spend more time collecting resources

[atomic estuary]

With technology, cargo of your ship is not cloned

[craggy siren]

this channel is mainly for the expedition, I believe

[trail kraken]

alright

[steady idol]

So I can just buy a dupe of my pre built ship for next to nothing?

[craggy siren]

and your pre-built multitool as well

[trail kraken]

do you have to go the anomaly to get your tool and ship from your main save

[steady idol]

That's ridiculously handy and I love it

[waxen prism]

am I just unable to complete the expedition as I can't place a cylindrical room?

[craggy siren]

yes

[trail kraken]

ah

aight

[hollow shore]

Try #nms-questions and I will see if I can answer your Twitch Drops question

[ionic karma]

Is that everything @fringe agate

[dusty pecan]

How fast do we get access to the anomaly?

[ionic karma]

Stage 1

[dusty pecan]

Only just took off from the starter planet and allready hating the solar ship. These things really don't suit people who prefer to fly in first person like me xD

[fringe agate]

No idea, all the fauna for sure

[drowsy turret]

Did the expedition start already?

[hollow shore]

Do you have the Cylindrical Room available to build?

[drowsy turret]

I don't think is working properly for me and i've already seen someone with the new ship

[craggy siren]

Some people started the expedition earlier by using the experimental branch

[hollow shore]

What platform are you playing on? Did you make sure it updated? See pins in #nms-questions for build versions

[drowsy turret]

Gotcha

[waxen prism]

no

[mellow badge]

there was things near where my ship started, full of gold and uranium, I punched them and gathered the resources :P

[drowsy turret]

PC/Steam I just updated the game

[mellow badge]

kinda almost broke my keyboard, since I had to physically punch, smashed my keyboard with my vr controller :P

[hollow shore]

Check the Scavenger Milestone in Phase 1 (mission 6). Complete it and it rewards Blueprints for several base parts, including the Room

[waxen prism]

I did complete it

[waxen prism]

@hollow shore

[ashen shore]

Wow, I've been thinking this forever, it looks like hippie sunglasses

[hollow shore]

@waxen prism You finished it and claimed the rewards? Then can you maybe show your build menu base items available?

[ashen shore]

Watched some of the expedition while acquiring twitch drops, that staff is fucking Rad

[hollow shore]

@waxen prism Ah hang on, that is just the square room you get. You may actually have to get to the Anomaly and get the BP from there

[waxen prism]

I can't

the hyperdrive is unlocked via the homecoming milestone

and I can't complete the homecoming milestone without the cylindrical room

would it be possible for someone to summon the anomaly and me enter it?

[atomic estuary]

No, but In previous expeditions if someone build an object for milestone for you it would complete it

[fringe agate]

What portable tech do you have?

[prisma sandal]

what happens to a save when you use the terminus in it, and what exactly transfers over?

[fringe agate]

Hoping for the CRU

[remote thunder]

odd

cylindrical room was unlocked from the start for me

[waxen prism]

???

[remote thunder]

interact with the expedition terminus

what happens to the save: it gets converted to expedition

[prisma sandal]

I'm at it, just wanna know what I'm gonna get myself into

[maiden pond]

how do expeditions work?

[remote thunder]

what happens to the save when you finish: it gets converted back

[remote thunder]

time limited game mode, unlock phase and final rewards account wide, be able to claim them in any save under the same account

[maiden pond]

its still a solo save file or is there other ppl

[remote thunder]

every player starts in the same system, has to go through the same route

[maiden pond]

okay thanks

[waxen prism]

could I perhaps have someone join me to place down the room for me?

[remote thunder]

multiplayer caused bugs affecting progression can still happen

[remote thunder]

did you make a new save or started from existing?

[waxen prism]

started from existing permadeath

[maiden pond]

there should be a huge system and like 100 ppl can join

[remote thunder]

yeah, no, up to 32 players per instance

[prisma sandal]

if you do it off of an existing save, do settings of the save change or are they the same

[remote thunder]

think about it like this

it's literally a conversion from whatever game mode your main save is on, to an expedition mode save

except that it's not a permanent conversion

so, expedition mode difficulty settings, whatever those are, set by the devs

it's really not much different from what happens when you begin a new save, except here you're given the choice to take loot with you and even clone active gear to help you

[prisma sandal]

so people doing it off of perma saves can freely die there....? interesting

[remote thunder]

you're not playing a <creative/etc etc game mode> save anymore at that point

diff rules

[outer light]

So what are the big rewards in the new expedition?

[remote thunder]

check pinned post

[wild cobalt]

Hey, how do I progress? I'm stuck at the first phase, I need a microprocessor for a hypedrive and no idea how to do the interstellar milestone for the anomaly

[cerulean olive]

Taken pics on the planet, off the planet, nothing registers😡

[remote thunder]

farm some cash, goto station, buy microps

cash can come from something as simple as salvaged data 🙂

[remote thunder]

what platform are you on?

use your platforms screengrab/share tool, instead of photo mode's button

[cerulean olive]

PS5

[remote thunder]

see above

[mellow badge]

I got early cash by harvesting those "Fingers" that had Gold and Uranium at the start area I was at

[woeful osprey]

i can't find one last fauna and it has to be underground...

[remote thunder]

try other planets, doesn't have to be on the same one

[mellow badge]

took a bunch of swinging my fist, smashing my keyboard, but I got all that gold and uranium with barely any multi-tool usage

[cerulean olive]

Whenever I go into photomode, I have to use the share button to take a snap.

[crimson rose]

I hunted and sold meat to buy MPs. Get creative

[woeful osprey]

it says i have to return to the planet tho
or is the just a suggestion...

[remote thunder]

then don't use the share button, and use photo mode's button instead

[mellow badge]

I made my base on the Low Atmosphere planet, and this new update much of changed something in how the cockpit is rendered, my vr fps drops a lot when I enter it

[dusty pecan]

I just pirated the freighters next to the space station

[remote thunder]

yeah it's just a suggestion, it's not saying that you need to complete the fauna milestone on the same planet

[cerulean olive]

I can't make a photo otherwise...

[woeful osprey]

mk, thank you very much for the help

[mellow badge]

anyone else adopt one of those cute tiny creatures that are about the size of a cat?

[remote thunder]

how are you grabbing the screenshot with the ps5 tool? quick screenshot, or going through the share menu, then screenshot?

[humble bramble]

This expedition was pretty straight forward

[remote thunder]

yes

[humble bramble]

Aside from the basic biscuits not counting

Add cactus flesh

[cerulean olive]

I go into photomode, like the milestone says, then snap the photo with the share button, which is how you take a photo in the game

[remote thunder]

again - iirc, there's 2 ways to get a screenshot on playstation: a quick button, and a share side menu

[humble bramble]

It makes sense to be straightforward though considering it also has brand new players with the free trial

[remote thunder]

it depends on user settings whatever mode is used - is it a press &hold, or just as press

that's up to you to check

try them both

if photo mode's button itself won't work - then try both those out, one of them will

[latent forum]

So when I get the a Twitch reward, after I claim it on Twitch it should show up at the Quicksilver dealer right?

Do I have to do anything else?

[remote thunder]

can take up to 72h, you can't claim twitch rewards on expedition mode

[latent forum]

Okay thanks!

[cerulean olive]

Holding the button will get you to an option to record a vid or take a screenshot. This is what my option is

[remote thunder]

the share button the remote will either open the quick share menu, or take a screenshot - you control what does what. you control whether long press share button opens the quick share menu or grabs the screen

whether short press takes screenshot or opens quick share menu

[cerulean olive]

Yes, I know that. I've tried all options, but nothing registers.

[remote thunder]

i don't know what else to suggest then

i never grab the shot with the menu bar showing

glyphs is alright

[cerulean olive]

I tried all types of button presses on and off the planets. When I am on a planet suitable, the game shows me the option to make a photo of that specific biome. No matter what or how I take the photo, it won't register.

[hollow shore]

@waxen prism I figured out what we were missing. Can you try and interact with the base computer?

[remote thunder]

yes, you'll get bps from there

it's stated on the hint

it's part of the build a base process

[humble bramble]

I had to reload my save at that part because it didn't give me any blueprints

Otherwise smooth sailing aside from crashes

[hollow shore]

I missed that.

[remote thunder]

like, it can't go forward without interacting with it

[hollow shore]

I totally missed that. I bet it showed though

[waxen prism]

it won't give it to me

[remote thunder]

when you did this step initially, were you playing solo or in a group

[waxen prism]

solo

[humble bramble]

Have you tried reloading save

[waxen prism]

I've restarted the game multiple times

[remote thunder]

or build another base computer

[waxen prism]

I did that too

[humble bramble]

Yeah delete that base

[waxen prism]

this is technically my 2nd base

[humble bramble]

Idea: make a new save

That milestone is relatively early

[waxen prism]

I am using xbox cloud thing to try the other player build base thing

[cerulean olive]

Believe it or not...., reloaded my save and all 3 planets were photographed..... I didn't even shot a scorching planet, but it was completed anyway...

[hexed bolt]

Feels like I cheated bringing an indium drive with me

[mellow badge]

took in VR, using ~BetterColorfulPlanetRings mod

[hollow shore]

@waxen prism This is what you should be getting
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/839545127692795954/1207815786476085298/image.png?ex=65e1051b&is=65ce901b&hm=f838ae79053b13d57e029679d6d433eda7185dd7876d18020bb290de01a50c5e&

[remote thunder]

still the same exact game mode, it requires nothing from an existing save

[waxen prism]

it doesn't give me anything

[hollow shore]

Then maybe start over is the best solution. Either that, or maybe it only works on the first Base Computer?

[remote thunder]

maybe try returning to main save, then back again to exp

have multiplayer disabled

[hexed bolt]

can I return to my primary save to send over more care package items?

[remote thunder]

no

[mellow badge]

I had the same issue with the "help" box not going away when it wanted me to place a portable refiner

[remote thunder]

you only get that option on start/finish

[mellow badge]

I ignored it, was easy since I can just look away in vr

[hexed bolt]

shoulda sent over a stack of runaway mould

[mellow badge]

made my first base according to the milestone, I put the 2 storage things on top of the round rooms

[remote thunder]

better yet a stack of salvaged glass or sus packets tech/arms

that said.. 1200 nanites each rdv

[mellow badge]

I added sus packets and salvaged data, and a bunch of pre-packaged stuff

[remote thunder]

congrats

possibly best to go ahead and into #nms-spoilers ?

[lusty slate]

About how long is this one? And anything particular I should put in the care package?

[hexed bolt]

Lots of things 🙂

[lusty slate]

Buy a bunch of susp packets, got it.

[woven bridge]

What would be good to take with you on this expedition?

[remote thunder]

about the same amount of time as the others, i'd suggest bringing your basics (dust, o2, cmetal, etc), as well as 200 fungal mould, equip your fav ship and MT before starting it if you'll go with starting from existing save

[lusty slate]

Probably my combat MT too...

[hexed bolt]

the same stuff that you always need every expediton? that stuff

[woven bridge]

You mean chromatic metal?

[remote thunder]

ah yeah, 200 cactus as well, you're right

[lusty slate]

I'm not worried about resources, I'm a terrible hoarder. Finally, a mechanic that suits storing everything.

[hexed bolt]

crap i didnt bring cactus!

[remote thunder]

it was 600 mould 200 cactus, but they changed it

cactus is easy to get

talk to pilots in the first rdv

or later unlock eco scanner/buy from trade pilots

if you don't fancy gathering or refining

[hexed bolt]

you need the mould as mould or is that in order to get nanites?

[remote thunder]

fungal mould yes, not runaway mould

sorry for the confusion

[lusty slate]

Okay, basic survival stuff (lol a use for that pack of 200 life support gels I have...), nanite fodder, fungal mold, cactus.

[remote thunder]

maybe a few exosuit upgrade modules

perhaps personal refiner mk2

[hexed bolt]

i brought an indium drive and personal refiner mk2

[lusty slate]

Ooh, good ideas.

[hexed bolt]

I did, just package it up

[remote thunder]

^

it can be packaged, it's not a core tech

[hexed bolt]

X on PC, think Y on xbox

forgot on ps2

They dont throw S modules at you in this one

[lusty slate]

Probably because of the whole care package thing.

[outer light]

Can you have more than one dreadnought yet?

[remote thunder]

? they do

[remote thunder]

we can only ever own 1 freighter

[hexed bolt]

I've been getting As 😦

[remote thunder]

later on

and a-class is already OP tbh

[hexed bolt]

last 2 expeditions I remember thinking my expedition character was almost more OP than my main by the end

[remote thunder]

heck, i've made it from starter to rdv1 on a single warp because i bought and installed a c-class hyperdrive module with a whopping 80LY range

phased progression isn't so bad

[hexed bolt]

I had to stop once but im not sad cause I used it for the inventory upgrade

[proper flume]

the scorched planet specific to it, or does ashen work?

[remote thunder]

scorched is scorched, lava won't work

[lusty slate]

FYI, roles haven't been updated with Omega yet.

[fresh ice]

So are players using their main saves to just save on grind / farm times?

[remote thunder]

@proper flume starter system has all 3 planets needed for grand tour

basically

[proper flume]

What was the scorched planet then and what was the system name?

[fresh ice]

Ummm most expedition only take like 10 hours max anyway

[remote thunder]

Doriguc, planet

[foggy oxide]

I need some help

[remote thunder]

with?

[lusty slate]

You can also send stuff back and transfer the money/nanites/etc per patch notes.

[foggy oxide]

It's telling me to reach second rendezvous point but I don't even know what that is

[left wind]

anyone know how to transfer an existing savegame to the expedition?

[fresh ice]

Cool. My internet kinda sucks so just getting installed

[remote thunder]

did you visit rdv1 station? rdv2 is 140LY away from rdv1

[lusty slate]

Also, I have a lot of saves as I kept some of my former exped ones for various reasons. Going to use the Anomaly this time.

[remote thunder]

rdv2

[dry escarp]

what exactly do i need to do for the cookie goal? i cooked cookies already and it still says "cook cookies of your choice"

[remote thunder]

mix sugar dough with anything

[tame hare]

struggling to find all the flora on the 1st rendezous

[foggy oxide]

How do I get there

[remote thunder]

follow the mission hint

[remote thunder]

goto rdv1

[lusty slate]

Oooh, so the biscuits are in the expedition? Neat.

[left wind]

could someone help me transfer my existing savegame to the expedition?

[remote thunder]

@foggy oxide did you go through a black hole or something? teleport back

[dry escarp]

no change

[remote thunder]

you can do that yourself

[left wind]

how do i transfer it

[tame hare]

[remote thunder]

goto anomaly

it's not a transfer

but you'll see

goto anomaly, interact with exp terminus

[left wind]

k thanks

[foggy oxide]

I'm going to the anomaly

Because I'm very confused

[remote thunder]

did you, or did you not visit the station of rendezvous system

goto any teleporter

[foggy oxide]

I think I did

[hexed bolt]

Im at the first rendevous, not seeing cactus, only gamma root

[remote thunder]

look for those system names

[remote thunder]

i don't understand the question

[hexed bolt]

thought you said to get cactus here from the pilots

[remote thunder]

i didn't say that you were going to get cactus from all pilots

i said

talk to pilots

planet side

because they're the only ones - they and space encounter ones - that sell plants

check a few pilots

[hexed bolt]

what plant gives fungal mould?

[remote thunder]

fungal cluster

[covert heart]

is the game messing with me right now? I'm trying to find wheat for the palate cleanser quest and no matter how far I walk the visor says "too weak to estimate"

[uncut sage]

I have my frozen and scorched photos for grand tour. What's the last one?

[remote thunder]

use visor instead

[remote thunder]

says on the hint - airless

[naive prism]

is it supposed to give me the under a rebel star quest during the expedition?

[fresh ice]

So my guess has been answered. But patch notes say you can get a pirate Captial ship so if use main save I then can have for main use?

[uncut sage]

lol Hats

[remote thunder]

not sure i understand the question

freighter has nothing to do with expedition save

[fresh ice]

Ah ok

[remote thunder]

you can get pirate freighter on a save that never had expedition content on it

[karmic current]

Yes you can own a pirate freighter now

[uncut sage]

oooh

nice

[hexed bolt]

oo another freighter expedition would be fun, esp if we started with a pirate freighter, or had to claim one mid expedition lol

[fresh ice]

So I get the hat too?

[hexed bolt]

is this new?

[karmic current]

They're pretty much the same as others but just look cooler

[hexed bolt]

dont remember those lighting up

[remote thunder]

"the hat"?

[crimson rose]

I have the worst luck in expeditions... I never get a ship I like. I was admiring all the options at the starting junkyard until I reached an ugly ass Marlin/Grapple in obnoxious blue, and sure enough, that would be mine. Now a have a personal milestone to scrounge the nanites I need to import my home ride...

[remote thunder]

i don't think so?

[fresh ice]

Yes every pirate get the “hat” and eye patch

[remote thunder]

oh i didn't notice that

[uncut sage]

lol no uh.

[reef raven]

Hey @remote thunder long time

[uncut sage]

nvm

you can get a phase 4 done with out leaving the first system

[remote thunder]

hi Jase, wb

[reef raven]

Thanks

[remote thunder]

yeah, many milestones can be completed out of order, in pure expedition tradition

[reef raven]

I’m at the very beginning of this dxpecition in homecoming, not played in like, a year. Says build base computer but I don’t have one in my menu

[uncut sage]

I uhm, may have found a portal. Anyone got the rendevouz

[remote thunder]

claim first milestone

[remote thunder]

check pinned post

[reef raven]

Oh wow thanks haha

I guess I forgot to do that

[mellow badge]

got to the Anomaly, switched to my Utopia Speeder ship :P

[foggy oxide]

@remote thunder thank you for helping me bro i really appreciate it

@remote thunder it took me a second to Figure it out but I got it because of you so thank you

[naive prism]

how did the echo locator in dissonant systems work again?

[remote thunder]

always keep track of where your expedition route/area of the galaxy is - always visit starter and rendez vous system space stations

[naive prism]

(also @remote thunder for president atlas)

[remote thunder]

there must be at least 1 dissonant planet in the inhabited dissonant system that's not dead (rusted metal) or weird (gold) or infested subtype

[naive prism]

i'm in a dissonant system and it tells me there's no targets, i thought it was supposed to find things there

[remote thunder]

that said, there's a milestone that rewards carrier ai frag - unlike echo locator, it's able to use galaxy map to redirect player to a suitable system

[naive prism]

yeah, but since i'm in a dissonant system, might as well loot it anyway

it's been a while since i did dissonant systems, i thought the idea was to shoot some corrupted sentinels in a dissonant system, make it through the bosses, get a free marker. is that still the same?

[remote thunder]

yes, that's one of the ways, and could be used in the kill 25 sentinel milestone, but like i said, you need to be aware of whether or not the system is suitable i..e if the system is suitable and if the planet is suitable

otherwise, you might be going through corrupted wanted level 5 for nothing

[naive prism]

and how do i doublecheck that?

[woven bridge]

My items didn't transfer over to my expedition. Anyone knows why?

[remote thunder]

#nms-expedition message

[woven bridge]

Oh ok thanks

[naive prism]

ow like that*

as always, _0_

[naive prism]

welp, rusted, so take that one off the list of candidates too lol

[remote thunder]

this is why carrier ai frag is fire and forget

it will absolutely always find a suitable system with a suitable planet, marking the site directly

[ashen shore]

Will i lose my main save if i go to the expedition?

[remote thunder]

you can have up to 15 saves side by side

you can even start exp12 from within the anomaly in your main save

[ashen shore]

Ah nevermind you can return to your prime savepoint

[stoic wing]

How have people done grand tour and assembly required?

[remote thunder]

i did grand tour on the starter system; assembly required needs to unlock bps from anomaly/synth terminal (type !faq-maps in #bot-spam ), then farm the plants

[uncut sage]

I mean I got lucky on a few things and did stuff on accident

[remote thunder]

there's a toxic infested subtype on rdv3 system iirc (maybe rdv2 sorry), but i'd suggest getting it from any other system, or just buying it from (some) trade outpost pilots

[atomic estuary]

To find planets easier I used catalogue and guid to locate nearest systems with required planets
Phosphorus or solarium for scorched, dioxide or frost crystals for cold and planet with rusted metal will usually be airless

[remote thunder]

density for fungal cluster on that toxic infested is too low imo

starter system has all 3 for grand tour

[uncut sage]

Which unlocked steps ahead of me

Currently base expanding on the first planet

[dry escarp]

any easy to access symulation error planets for the 4th goal, 5th fase?

[remote thunder]

completed milestones ahead, yeah, that's fine

[remote thunder]

focus on red star systems, find a planet with gold on resource list for the exotic animal

[stoic wing]

So this is airless?

[remote thunder]

correct

[hexed bolt]

Whats the name of the starter system, I feel im not seeing it in my teleporter options

[remote thunder]

doriguc

it's fairly close to rdv1

check pinned post for names

[uncut sage]

Doriguc VII

[remote thunder]

right

sorry mb

[humble bramble]

What's grand tour

[ashen shore]

im assuming with the new updatw we still dont have cross platform sync?

[humble bramble]

Assembly required is just repairing damaged slots

[stoic wing]

And this is scorched?

[humble bramble]

Not too hard

[remote thunder]

milestone from phase 3

[remote thunder]

correct

[stoic wing]

A milestone

[remote thunder]

type !faq-biomes in #bot-spam for more details whenever you feel like doing some reading/looking at infographics

[humble bramble]

I mean whats the objective to do 😭

[trim void]

hey folks....how long do I have to warp until I reach 2nd ranzdezvous

[stoic wing]

And last but not least this is frozen?

[humble bramble]

I did not pay close attention to the names

[trim void]

been doing it for like hours and still cant reach it

[remote thunder]

take screenshots

[remote thunder]

yes

[stoic wing]

Find 3 different plant types

[humble bramble]

All the rendezvous are pretty close I'd say

[stoic wing]

Perfect thanks

[remote thunder]

i did say, starter system is suitable

[stoic wing]

Now I am trying to find this exotic planet

[remote thunder]

red star systems, gold on resource list

[stoic wing]

Ah well that’s split between 2 systems that I can travel to

[humble bramble]

I found a hexagonal planet when I went to do the ancient ruins milestone

[remote thunder]

did you not build a base comp in the starter system? nor visited the space station?

[humble bramble]

As for what system idk

[covert heart]

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

[remote thunder]

congrats

[stoic wing]

So this?

[stoic wing]

I did

[humble bramble]

Oh shit I didn't realize they'd carry over nanites and quicksilver

I spent the qs anyways on that save

Finished the rest of the catalogue with my main save

[stoic wing]

I don’t think I will get that as I didn’t go off a save I jsut started new

[remote thunder]

teleport back to it

[stoic wing]

Ok

[remote thunder]

correct, you won't see that screen

[ruby swan]

So just spent like 4 hours discovering just about everything I could on the first rendezvous planet, the community research percentage got to 70%, do I just keep on with the rest of the expedition?

[stoic wing]

Sad times :(

[humble bramble]

Yeah I didn't bother with the optional milestones

[ruby swan]

Oh, I’d like the eggs, they seem neat.

[remote thunder]

yep, they're optional - don't worry, we'll all get them, eventually - this expedition lasts for 5w

[humble bramble]

You'll unlock them eventually

And they're all rerun companions from previous expeditions

You could ask people for eggs for them

[hexed bolt]

Im wondering if this is the last expedition

[fiery leaf]

maybe, maybe not
we don’t know

[stoic wing]

Why

[humble bramble]

Probably the name

[hexed bolt]

Omega is usually the end

Though Im not far into it, and it could possibly reference the story

Atlas and the cycle of beginning and end are very intertwined after all

[stoic wing]

My grand tour isn’t working

[covert heart]

I'm honestly gonna miss my sentinel interceptor and being able to refuel easily. The new ship is amazing though

[stoic wing]

Bruh

[hexed bolt]

I just finished mine (grand tour)

[covert heart]

@stoic wing refer to this message. it should give you an idea of what to look for

[dry escarp]

damn, 4th goal, 5th stage is annoying

[remote thunder]

it's about how you're taking the screenshot

remember that you need to be inside planet atmos ofc , but don't have to be landed

[dawn harness]

so I've been hearing about people losing their saves after finishing the expedition

can anybody else confirm?

[remote thunder]

for me on pc steam, entering photo mode, waiting for the menu bar to auto hide, then pressing LMB and waiting for steam overlay screeneshot notification to appear completes it for me

[dawn harness]

(after starting on a main save from the terminus)

[wintry herald]

is this meant to spawn?

[remote thunder]

i tested it during the trial, had no such issue

[remote thunder]

yes

[dawn harness]

alright sweet, just making sure cause I'd hate to lose a 600 hour save 😭

[hexed bolt]

lol my rendevous flag 2 is literally at a portal

[remote thunder]

that matches yep, rdv2 is indeed at a portal

and so is rdv3

[hexed bolt]

oh snap, i was looking for a space station

those flags are usually so randomly far away

enough nanites to get something, ship or multitool?

[remote thunder]

keep checking vendor shops in space stations

invest in s-class modules

[dry escarp]

@remote thunder could you check which system it was that was an error planet? it's 1:17 for me and i'm gonna go insane jumping systems for 2 hours

[covert heart]

Does anyone know how many supercharged slots are in the new ship?

[craggy siren]

2200 nanites to transfer your ship to the expedition? Wow

[hexed bolt]

"Hyperdrive has no fuel" - I havent seen that message in years

[proper flume]

Is quicksilver shared between saves?

Or is the expedition save the one with stuff?

[dry escarp]

nvm just found exotic planet

[remote thunder]

i've deleted those saves already, sorry - do you know how to easily locate red star systems? switch galaxy map filter to lifeform, then focus on big white stars, select one, focus on ones with lots of planets (up to 6 orbits, remember to look for moons)

[stoic wing]

My photo for scorched is not working

Just to check this is right planet?

[verbal dagger]

So this expedition is the only way to get a hovering ship?
