[dry escarp]

ye

[gilded tiger]

Guys, anything I should absolutely bring into expedition? I'm guessing you can only gear up before launch yes?

[neat latch]

Yes! It's a part of expedition start.

[remote thunder]

before and after completion

[verbal dagger]

How difficult is it, and an estimate on how long it'll take

[remote thunder]

yes

[remote thunder]

2-3h

[verbal dagger]

Epic

[remote thunder]

depends on how well you know the game and/or put together a good stash

[dry escarp]

liar.

[gilded tiger]

Wait, the new ship doesn't appear in space stations?

[remote thunder]

my first run took me 3h

[neat latch]

Not difficult at all.

[sturdy hedge]

i might be softlocked out of finishing the expedition. i’m playing on xcloud and there’s no screenshot button implemented there, so i can’t take photos in game. the 3rd set of missions has one where you need to photograph 3 different planets. i don’t see how i can progress

[dry escarp]

first run? you already did multiple?

[stoic wing]

How can I get fungal spores as to plant the plant I need fungle spores

[neat latch]

If you're not distracted, if you've read the milestones and gone through the messages here (pinned included), it shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours.

[gilded tiger]

@remote thunder anything crucial I need to bring in? I wanna make it a smooth run

[remote thunder]

i'm on my 3rd run, 1st of the official release

[remote thunder]

you'll either want to get ammonia+o2 refined to fungal mould, then use the catalog to locate a planet with it

[dry escarp]

why? you don't get more rewards for completing it multiple times, right?

[remote thunder]

here's what i brought #nms-questions message

[stoic wing]

Hmm ok

[neat latch]

Bring chromatic metal, cactus flesh, fungal mold, cadmium, pugneum.

[remote thunder]

first 2 runs were testing, this run well is ending up being for testing too

[stoic wing]

Would you donate some to me?

[neat latch]

And bring enough materials you can "sell" at an outlaw station to convert units to nanites because it's gonna take a total of 5k nanites to copy both MT and Ship.

[remote thunder]

or you could try your luck with trade outpost/planetary archive (hint: rdv1) pilots even freighter docked pilots for fungal mould (and while you're at it, cactus flesh)

[stoic wing]

Why cactus flesh?

[remote thunder]

that doesn't seem to be a set value

[dry escarp]

cookie quest and explosive liquid quest

[remote thunder]

also needed to craft liquid explosive

[gilded tiger]

Thank you @remote thunder @neat latch I'm liking this feature already

[neat latch]

oh you didn't bring maxed out mt>

interesting.

[stoic wing]

Hmm ok is it better to get in rdv1 or anywhere?

[neat latch]

Liquid explosive is probably the main thing that’s gonna mess up progression.

[remote thunder]

i suggested it because it's the first place that you get led to that has access to npc pilots while pushing forward

[foggy oxide]

Bro how do you even use the photo mode on xbox like how do you take the photos

[remote thunder]

from the trial runs to this, they adjusted acid recipe

no longer 600 mould, but 200 said my catalog

[stoic wing]

Ok thanks

[remote thunder]

look for buildings with cave entrances near them, give the game time to spawn animals

[neat latch]

It asked me 100 cactus and 100 fungal mould to complete the recipe. 😦

200 sorry!

[remote thunder]

correct, that's the change i was referring to

[gilded tiger]

So I need to bring 200 cactus and mold, yes?

[neat latch]

Another thing you note, liquid explosive is not unlocked for us, we need to purchase the blueprint from space anomaly and it’s gonna cost nanites.

[remote thunder]

you could even try to mark the cave with a beacon, pulse drive to space for 10, 20s, then pulse drive back down, land and exit ship and wait for animals

[neat latch]

Yep!

Was it 100 cactus?

I have forgotten already lmao!

[gilded tiger]

Nice. That's gonna save me some time. Although now I know how to glitch resources, I can't go back 😭

[astral dome]

So grand tour unlocked plants but didn't give me seeds, am I missing something?

[neat latch]

With this new mechanics in place there’s no need to glitch anything. Most of the materials can be gathered in the first system. There’s also a milestone to take three screenshots of different biomes (environments). Scorching, Frozen, Airless (iirc).

[remote thunder]

it refers to seeds as the plant bps

i think

[neat latch]

Yes. Build a small farm, although it’s not necessary.

After my expedition ended.

[remote thunder]

sorry, missed this one; no, 200 cactus for unstable gel

[proper flume]

So. I'll wait on the expedition stuff to be done, optional stuff.

Until then, I've done my run. LOL.

I prepared for the expedition but instead of Casmium, I brought Indium.

[neat latch]

Hardly anything worth waiting for, I think.

[dire palm]

Expedition hasn't started till tomorrow or such, correct?

[stoic wing]

It’s live now

[dire palm]

👀 uh oh gotta get started then. Thanks!

[neat latch]

We’re already finished :3

[dire palm]

Lol yea I'd suspect as much 😆. Shorter than usual or?

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

[dire palm]

I meant the actual playthrough of it but thank you

[neat latch]

Shorter than usual for experienced players, it’s almost the same as some sections of the main story.

[dire palm]

Ok. Probably easier with the transfer stuff they added too.

[dry escarp]

just finished it, i'm go to sleep, im eeeepy

[dire palm]

Lol night!

[neat latch]

Get ship, build base, expand base, unlock anomaly, explore and document planets, flora, fauna, take screenshots, build naughty lawn, find sunken crashed freighter…

Same old stories combined.

So it should not pose a challenge.

[dire palm]

Naughty lawns 👀

I do love screenshots though

[neat latch]

A few milestones can be completed on the first planet. There are two for scanning flora and fauna, first planet has 12 fauna.

[dire palm]

Any cool ones though?

[neat latch]

One cool screenshot I took.

[remote thunder]

lol

now i can post these

[neat latch]

XD

[dire palm]

That's a sleek ship

[neat latch]

I’ll upgrade the ship and the multi tool tomorrow.

What the!

[dire palm]

Tokrit it good!

[neat latch]

lol

[dire palm]

I hope that's not something bad

Also side track for dreadnought take overs. Have to farm an S again or?

[leaden belfry]

HOLY MOLY

alright quick question tho, can i finish it in under 8 hours?

[remote thunder]

sure

[remote thunder]

if you want, yeah

[dire palm]

Darn. It looks cool but mine has been fully kitted for awhile. Decisions...

[remote thunder]

farming bulkheads has never been easier

finding a system or systems that always trigger the pirate dreadnought battle on warp in, regardless of 3h+5 ship warps requirements

please check this post #nms-questions message

just warp between those two

honestly, i would take that thought of my mind - the threshold for s-class is very very high, ~200 pops

not sure as i've never had a s-class settlement after the fixes (frontiers update days)

[silk iris]

What are we supposed to do if some dingus placed a bunch of base parts where I need to dig

I turned MP off and still don’t have “edit permissions” to dig for a phase item

[vale knoll]

Question
I know no matter what, the expedition is played in Normal, but if you have a PD file, when you finish will it revert to a normal save or go back to PD as I want all that QS on PD

[silk iris]

It shouldn’t modify the difficulty of your main save

[vale knoll]

Even after completing because I heard we can now transfer bases, units and QS over to main when finished.

[dusty pecan]

report the base as inappropriate and it'll dissapear

[silk iris]

I’m pretty sure it’s just com-balls

Not sure. Reloading in offline mode

[dusty pecan]

literally just did that like half hour ago on the rendevous on the crashed freighter so I could dig to access the cargo pods

[glacial bear]

Is there any fungal farm? 😭

[dusty pecan]

you can just park on a trade post and buy the mats from the npc ships

[hexed bolt]

need more starship upgrade slots so bad

if i redeem my ship, do i get its maxed inventory?

[glacial bear]

Trying to make the explosives

Alright I’ll try

[lyric roost]

Dang I did the expedition in only 3 hours

[hexed bolt]

how?

im over 3 hours in and havent done half

[spare plover]

anyone know how to capture a sentinel interceptor? i lost the echo locator after using it, finding a ship. but losing the brain

[lyric roost]

Exploits, I just want to do these as fast as possible

[vague magnet]

is there a community expedition going on right now?

[unkempt pumice]

Can you get rewards from past expeditions?

[cerulean olive]

what's the catch behind the biscuits baking? I baked some, but not good enough?

[hollow shore]

Needs to be special, as in adding that extra ingredient

[glacial bear]

I don’t think u can buy fungal molds

[cerulean olive]

if only the game listed some more detailed milestones.......

[hollow shore]

No, unless you Save Edit or use a mod (see: #nms-modding )

[dusty pecan]

literally just bought some

[glacial bear]

where 😭😭😭😭

[unkempt pumice]

So the expedition replay has no rewards?

[hollow shore]

@unkempt pumice Or if HG decides to do another 're-run', as they have done with pretty much all previous ones

[dusty pecan]

just waiting at an archive got some from like 4th NPC ship

[primal raft]

Does radiant flight also require echo locators or did not claiming the first interceptor screw it up?

[dusty pecan]

though one NPC didn't quite have enough

[cerulean olive]

Does it matter what extra ingredient?

[spare plover]

suffering with you here lol

[hollow shore]

@cerulean olive I don't think so, as long as it has a valid result of course

[fresh ice]

Anyone having Xbox controller drift issues with this update

[glacial bear]

Any planet right?

[dusty pecan]

yeah planetary NPC ships seem to have all the crop types

[primal raft]

Anyone know the issue or is it all intended?

[dusty pecan]

though each one only has 1-2 types so might take a bit

[hot blade]

The instruction said I could get my loadout when I hit the space station
How do I do that?

[hollow shore]

you started in the Anomaly at the Expedition Terminus, with an existing save?

[hot blade]

yep

[hollow shore]

Just play the expedition and reach the Anomaly to access the terminus and get access to it.

[hollow shore]

Fresh from the Press

[hot blade]

Ah the Anomaly!

I thought it said space station

[hollow shore]

Disable MP

[hot blade]

I'm on Switch

[hollow shore]

Ah yes

[hot blade]

What's it like playing with everyone in the world?

[wicked holly]

How are you supposed to take pictures for phase 3?

I'm on Xbox and my only option is to screenshot which obviously doesn't count

[primal raft]

Oh COME ON

Now it needs an update?!

[hot blade]

In game camera right?

[wicked holly]

Yes

[hot blade]

W/ quick menu

[wicked holly]

Only gives me the option to screenshot

Screenshots don't count for the mission

[primal raft]

How painful must they make the interceptor part?!

[wicked holly]

Nvm I figured it out

[lyric roost]

I cooked with this expedition avatar

[sturdy hedge]

i keep crashing

can’t even land at rendezvous 3

[primal raft]

Had to install an update while in the middle of expedition

[sturdy hedge]

i’m glad we have a bit over a month to do this

hopefully they can issue a patch soon to fix some of these bugs that make the expedition harder than intended

[tepid grove]

How long do I have to do the expedition, and on a scale of 1-10, how easy is it? (10 being easier)

[sturdy hedge]

i think 5 weeks and i’m almost 2/3 through and so far it’s pretty simple stuff

[tepid grove]

How easy is it? Are the planets ridiculously cliffy?

Like in Utopia

[sturdy hedge]

besides the rendezvous planets you’re free to go where really. you just need to find specific planets something like frozen or scorched. and ones with copper or other resources

so if you find a planet that sucks you can just look for a different one

[spare plover]

it keeps saying ive aquired an emergency signal scanner, but i have none

[sturdy hedge]

taxes

[tepid grove]

I stole it : ) (not really)

[spare plover]

what do i do?

can i buy it somewhere?

[tepid grove]

idk

I haven't done the expedition

[hexed bolt]

not gonna lie, its almost like this expedition is meant to be the new tutorial onboarding

[lyric roost]

It's for the demo

[hexed bolt]

also, bringing in my fully upgraded starship has made this SO much easier

[proud sparrow]

Um, so is the Expedition Terminus saying there's no expedition available for anyone else?

[wanton raft]

This expedition an interesting one?

[wraith venture]

Hmm it could be a network connectivity issue. Even starting a new expedition save, sometimes ppl experience network glitches. When players report that type of issue, I usually recommend trying to restart their router/modem or switching internet somehow (if there are other networks available).

[crude kettle]

Anyone know what I should bring on this expedition?

[wraith venture]

Also check #nms-questions if the issue persists to see if there's another root cause at play. And maybe submit a bug report to Hello Games via their Zendesk

[proud sparrow]

could be, but I see players in the Anomaly so I think network services is working. I'll try toggling it and also banging on the side of the PS5

[wraith venture]

!Hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[proud sparrow]

Maybe it's because I started playing the update yesterday, I'll just force quit and reload

[wraith venture]

Different servers for different purposes tho. Sometimes I have issues with let's say Twitch Drops not showing in the Anomaly even when all other services are showing fine including Multiplayer and ODS

[cerulean olive]

All milestones done. Now just waiting for the optional ones to complete. Almost made the mistake to end the expedition.

[wanton raft]

So I hear you can start this expedition on an existing save and can take only some things from the same into the expedition. Hopefully this doesn't mean you'll loose other stuff from the same permanently right?

[proud sparrow]

Ah that was it, just needed a NMS restart. I bet the unlock code wasn't working because my game was still active from yesterday

[wraith venture]

Sweet!

[crystal mortar]

What is the Ticket To Freedom?

[wraith venture]

It still eventually creates a separate save, after you've made your various selections from the current / main save.

[hollow shore]

It starts Under a Rebel Star, making it easy to get to an Outlaw system. Useful for the Milestone you have for Contraband

[crystal mortar]

Awesome thank you!

[wanton raft]

Hope they upped that number of saves then. I think I was at the max.

[wraith venture]

No clue about that. But I understand. I had to clean up past expedition saves that'd converted over, to make room.

[stray dome]

the black hole in kumotsug xix seems to be broke

[wanton raft]

Won't have a problem with the PC version but I can't backup saves on the PS4 that I know of.

[hexed bolt]

What do I need to excavate? Ancient bones didnt work

neither did salvaged data

[muted solar]

Hello, what have yall sent over cargo and tech wise?

[wraith venture]

You can at least do backups via the USB port on PS4 from what I've heard before. But don't know how feasible it is to revert back to those saves over time when the game's been updated. Maybe it's something worth inquiring about in #nms-questions or #nms-modding in case anyone else with PS4 experience knows. Dharhan may know if you see him around.

[lusty slate]

How much total QS is rewarded in Omega?

[stray dome]

tech wise s class protection modules and a personal refiner mk2, should have also sent boots. cargo wise standard sodium, carbon, oxygon, cobalt, copper ect with larval core to be converted to nanite so i can pick up my ship and multi tool

ship and multitool transfer their mods

[hollow shore]

At least 4,800 QS, but it could be more. Here is an image showing 6,300 QS
#nms-expedition message

[lusty slate]

Yeah, that's why I was asking. How is 6300 possible?

[hexed bolt]

weekly mission?

[hollow shore]

Not sure, it got an additional 1,500 from somewhere

[lusty slate]

Math doesn't add up.

[ashen shore]

I had no issue using the nms backup on ps4 via usb. I hadnt played in a while and the save was a couple of updates previously. You can also just upload to ps servers via psplus and then just download the save from the servers.

[proud sparrow]

are they putting people closer together on this expedition? i literally just started and saw another player jetpacking around in the distance

[hard talon]

just to be clear, creatinga copy of multi tool or ship in expedition desont remove it in main save>

?

[muted solar]

@stray dome you need nannites to clone your ship and multitool?

[stray dome]

yes you do my ship cost 2800 nanites and multiool 900

[muted solar]

Ahh I only have 8 larval cores. I need more

[hollow shore]

@lusty slate Looks to be 5 x 300 QS for the RV systems plus the 4 x 1,200 to make the 6,300 QS total

[lusty slate]

Thanks for looking! That's a nice haul. Enough to (almost) buy the last two bobble heads I need alone.

[stray dome]

you could also make a food to sell for nanites

they should take less stacks but i was lazy

[muted solar]

I swear there was something else I used for nanites

Not larval cores

I only have 8 larval cores, I can't do much with that

[stray dome]

I am unsure, those two are the most nanites, maybe salvage data or runaway mold?

[silk iris]

Am I bugging? I can’t find a single pirate controlled system

[lusty slate]

I hope QS rewards from expeditions is a new permanent thing...

[silk iris]

Do I need a specific hyperdrive

[stray dome]

or the tentacle thing drops

[silk iris]

Hadal cores and hyaline brains have high ratios

Iirc hyaline brains are 251:1

[lusty slate]

Ah! Conflict and economy scanners, thanks for reminding me. I'm still prepping...

[silk iris]

250*

Do I need the conflict scanner to see pirate systems?

[ashen shore]

You can use the "tixket for freedom" whixh u get as a phase expedition reward

[silk iris]

Oh duh

Perfect. Thanks for the tip haha

[muted solar]

What about walker brains?

And im sending over about 24 million

[stray dome]

i didn't need any brains, my ship already had the scanner

[floral vortex]

should we finish the expedition or no?

for the bonuses

me and my friend want the main rewards

but don’t know if we should wait for the bonus shit

[ashen shore]

Ull get the main reward on all saves, as soon as its unlocked in the expedition without pressing finish.

Just switch back to your main on the anamoly after claiming the rewards

[muted solar]

So a few hundred nanites, about 25million creds, few thousand basic elements

[lusty slate]

Waaaaait. Reading the pins. I can ||get the horror companion egg if the phase 5 community milestone completes??|| Am I reading this right?

[stray dome]

sounds about right

[lusty slate]

That's the only expedition egg I don't have. It's originally from Cartographers, but wasn't in the remix. 🙂

[unkempt laurel]

Im tryna beat the expedition

[cerulean olive]

Yeah. Don't finish the expedition yet. I only need the worm egg from phase 3.

Loving the new ship, btw. It's gorgeous!

[lusty slate]

Yeah, I just need the horror egg myself.

Got the worm from a Twitch drop a while ago.

[cerulean olive]

I got the horror egg and could give you one, if you'd play on ps5

[lusty slate]

Switch, sadly

[primal raft]

Almost done

[lusty slate]

Which is why I want it lol

[cerulean olive]

Yeah, don't have it on my Switch account, so maybe I'll do the expedition there as well

Finished up on the exp about an hour ago. Can't stop flying the new ship 😂

[shy dagger]

So how do i get the microprocessor if to unlock microprocessors i gotta travel out of solar sistem? (Wich requires microprocessors)

[lusty slate]

I want the staff the most.

[cerulean olive]

Buy them at a space station

[cerulean olive]

The staff looks great, but I like the normal staves better

Not big about the new backpack neither, but it's nice tohave the option.

[primal raft]

I finished it! I got the ship! My first expedition is done!!

[serene kettle]

Any bugs or issues of note, yet?

[lusty slate]

Out of curiosity, what's the status of all the optional community milestones currently?

[cerulean olive]

Last time I checked only the first part is done

[cerulean olive]

Not for me. Just the usual vague description here and there.

[uncut sage]

Is there a trading post on the starting planet?

I can't craft circuit boards yet

[serene kettle]

Cool. I'm hesitant to start the Expo from my main save, in case it messes something up. You can still start an Expo like you normally would, correct?

[uncut sage]

It's been a separate save file for a while now

[serene kettle]

What do you mean? The current one?

[cerulean olive]

I started mine from my main save. No issues at all. But yeah, you can start a separate save too

[clear shadow]

Anyone know if the MT/Ship transfer is 1:1? Meaning if all the tech/# of slots transfers over? Would be useful to know if I should specifically focus on Exosuit tech or not to transfer over

[uncut sage]

Wait how does one do that?

[chrome garnet]

Yes

[clear shadow]

Kept a backup of my main save offline with auto-uploads turned off (PS5) for this very reason.

[clear shadow]

Sweeet. Thank you! ^_^

[cerulean olive]

You can start an expedition save from the normal selelction screen, while you have an active expedition on your main save, started from the terminal at the anomaly

[cerulean olive]

All tech slots, all inventory slots transfer. All tech too, but not the inventory, though.

[uncut sage]

Would it redact my main saves progress or known buildables?

[cerulean olive]

How do you mean?

[clear shadow]

Was about to say that if the Inventory transfers over, that would be really OP and would negate the whole item cache transfer console.

[uncut sage]

Or my fleet and ships

[unkempt laurel]

Where the freak is the airless planet

[cerulean olive]

No. Those don't transfer over if you start on your main save.

[chrome garnet]

Desolate planet

[unkempt laurel]

Where desolate at

[cerulean olive]

I think there is a low atmosphere planet in the starting system.

[unkempt laurel]

What star system

[wintry void]

All the tech move over too?

[chrome garnet]

Yes 👋

[cerulean olive]

Tech copies too

[wintry void]

Cool

I'll just copy mt and ship over

[chrome garnet]

Ship and MT about 5K nanites

[cerulean olive]

908 nanites to copy the mt and 2808 for the ship.

[wintry void]

Ahh you have to pay?

[chrome garnet]

For me it was 2600 and 2800

[cerulean olive]

I got off cheap on the mt then 😂

[clear shadow]

I bet ya it’s based on # of slots, rank and how many tech pieces are installed

[cerulean olive]

Got my MT and ship S-Class and fully decked out.

[unkempt trail]

is there any reason to wait for the phase 1 community goal to be reached before going on to phase 2?

[wintry void]

No

[cerulean olive]

No

[stray dome]

the goal has been reached?

[cerulean olive]

First one is

[unkempt trail]

thanks
yes, it's completed now, i didn't think to check again before asking, it wasn't earlier

[cerulean olive]

Next expedition should allow us to copy the exosuit as well 😁

[clear shadow]

And freighter 😛

[bitter seal]

Nope, I just finished on my main. Everything is as it should be. Can even take stuff out when you end it now.

[cerulean olive]

Would be nice, but there's no need for it in this expedition 😄

[clear shadow]

Oh? How come?

[cerulean olive]

Frankly, it would be better if we'd just start the expeditions with our main characters, including exosuit, mt and ships including all the tech, without the need to copy them.

[cerulean olive]

Well, there are no milestones you need it for, lol

[clear shadow]

I think/believe this might just be a baby-step to seeing how viable that option is. The problem is many of us could just roflstomp the bejesus out of the expedition then.

Like, I bet my Freighter ATM could reach the final Rendevous from the start - quite easily.

[cerulean olive]

True, but it saves a lot of mats grinding to craft stuff. If we don't need to do that much anymore, milestones could content a lot more interesting stuff, instead of repairing and so

My ship can already reach the final rendez vous. Hyper jump reach is OP on it already.

[ashen shore]

Thats true. But to be honest except of some lore pieces the expeditions are kinda repetitive and dont provide muxh else than whst you can do on your main by exploring. So you end up to just wanna rush it, so you can get back to ur main safe and implement the rewards. Imo

[clear shadow]

Ironically I’ve stripped mine out completely as i use only the freighter to hop. So now I’m looking to see if I got any old ships to strip out to install onto my current ship to transfer over (which, btw, is now why I’m thinking of building an exclusive expedition-based ship!)

[clear shadow]

I’m in it for both, but yeah - the rewards do tend to be priority 😛

Which is why they probably don’t want people to roflstomp through it as they did put a decent bit of lore into these.

[cerulean olive]

Frankly, I use my freighter for storage and as a home away from home. And it looks nice 😂

[ashen shore]

Id really welcome if there was some special scenerie and maybe more narration added to the expedition in tandem with the lore, i wouldnt mind spending more time to complete it. But as is, it feels a bit tedious

[cerulean olive]

The expedition terminal is a very good step in the right direction.

[ashen shore]

Absolutely. i really really appreciated taking my mains outfit and ship into the expedition. So i didnt feel disconnected from my main save

[hexed bolt]

will simple biscuits work?

[cerulean olive]

Yeah. First thing I did when reaching the anomaly was fitting my character like my main and get either the golden vector or the speeder to replace the starter ship with.

Now I don't have to anymore

[ashen shore]

I made 3 differebt kinds just in case

[mellow badge]

had to warp back to the first rdv system to get to rdv2 because the blackhole took me so very far away, right into a pirate attack, now I have a class A frieghter

[cerulean olive]

No, it needs some extra ingredient. Doesn't matter which one. I added nip nip to mine

[ashen shore]

U can just use the teleporter on a station or the anamoly to get u back

[mellow badge]

mmmm, nipnip infused oatmeal

for some reason, a lot of blackholes are marked for me, when in VR the icons disappear if I get close to em

in non-vr, the icons do not disappear

[ashen shore]

The rendevous system will also be there

[cerulean olive]

Space cakes 😁

[prime crystal]

Just to be sure, you can send a bunch of stuff to the expedition, but when its done, you limited to what you can bring, think its the same limit sending in and retrieving?

[mellow badge]

I made it to the portal, placed a save beacon, saved and quit, only played just now in non-vr because the space battle was not easy (im used to weapons slightly auto-targeting)

[prime crystal]

Didnt do the experimental branch

[cerulean olive]

Be sure you send in a bunch, because there is no adding after you start the expedition. I'd send exosuit tech and crafting mats.

[prime crystal]

Something to cash into nanites if i want the save ship and weapon right

[cerulean olive]

Possibly

[prime crystal]

Then when its time to return, grab the non consumables and such

[ashen shore]

Tip: just add some sentinel weapon/exosuit shards to net you 5k nanites

[prime crystal]

Honestly, main suit parts, getting the ship and weapon with their gears will be bananas

[cerulean olive]

Send in sweetroot, nipnip and wheat too for easy biscuit baking.

[prime crystal]

Oreo collab

Oh tenor

The helmet and staff are great

Backpack too i guess

[cerulean olive]

The ship is awesome

[scarlet slate]

Yop, if I want to take a photo on a airless planet, I should find one without any plants right ?

[prime crystal]

Staple ship for freighter

[cerulean olive]

Not 100% sure, but I think there is a low atmosphere planet in the starting system

[scarlet slate]

i'll check this out

ty

got it

[chilly latch]

Can we loot the crashed freighter in the sky?

Or is it just 100% cosmetic?

[chilly latch]

I wish we could customize our ships as much as our freighters

[cerulean olive]

Dunno, didn't check

[chilly latch]

just so I cam make that black and red

[ashen shore]

All are in the first starting system

[cerulean olive]

Maybe one day.....

[scarlet slate]

alright found it, ty 🙂

[chilly latch]

I kinda wanna kick some Sentinel ass

[scarlet slate]

i need 4 nanites

bru

[cerulean olive]

You do need 25 kills, so knock yourself out 😄

[ashen shore]

I was doing the interceptor phase when i approached the planet another player wws fighting sentinels on the ground so i landed next to him and we both kicked ass. It was really fun mmo experience 😅

[ashen shore]

Check a station for terminals or the cubes

For a quick nanite buck

[scarlet slate]

got it 🙂

[wanton raft]

Good ideas, thanks.

[scarlet slate]

holy smokes i have to make boom boom liquide

[verbal dagger]

I have 2 and a half hours on this dlc and I only have 2/5 things done

[scarlet slate]

do u have any idea of how to speed up the crafting process ? Or i have to make some things grow and everything ?

[cerulean olive]

I found a base with mould and cactus meat.

[ashen shore]

Just search your journal for planets u visited. Dry and desert planets for cactus. Toxic for the moulds. Should show up which grows naturally

[wanton raft]

Is this new ship a fighter class is its specs? How's it compair to the ship I know as the starwars snow speeder (can't remember the real name at the moment)?

[scarlet slate]

y'all are genius

tysm 😄

[stray dome]

filling my biodome so the lucky guy that comes across it can make liquid thingy easy

[cerulean olive]

I think it is a fighter, yes. I haven't decked it out yet and I'm not in game now, so can't check neither.

[wanton raft]

Would love it if this new ship could hover (without mods) like the sentinel ships can!

[cerulean olive]

It can't, sadly. That's the only downside I found so far 😑

[wanton raft]

Is this new ship a one of a kind or does it represent a new class of ships?

[covert heart]

wydm hover

[cerulean olive]

For now it's a one of a kind

[ashen shore]

I want to play the expedition so bad rn but I'm going to play it tomorrow and stream it on call with my gf so she can watch

But hey at least I got the pirate freighter

[acoustic wing]

Anyone have an extra inverter mirror my guy won’t spawn

[wanton raft]

I take it you don't have a sentinel ship or have the mod which makes all ships hover? What I mean is that the sentinel ship can fully stop.

[covert heart]

I have a sentinel ship, I don't know what you mean by "hover"

ohhh okay

i've never been able to get my sentinel ship to fully stop

for me it's always been like a really slow glide

[cerulean olive]

Sentinel ships do full stops.

[covert heart]

never knew that tbh

basically the same thing lol

I find that my Starborn runner turns a bit better

[wanton raft]

Except that the Runner can't hover aparently.

[cerulean olive]

No hover

Very slow gliding, though, but no hover.

[scarlet slate]

day 782165 of visiting base hoping to find plants

[wanton raft]

If it's not a full stop but slower than other ships, I may use it.

[ashen shore]

Better try the journal, the hello games discovered systems will show u all that grows on each planet

[cerulean olive]

It feels the starborn ship glides slower than former ships.

It is

[scarlet slate]

It's good, i enjoy what im doin :3

[covert heart]

how is the atlas multitool compaired to a sentinel rifle?

[wanton raft]

What's the proper name of the ship which looks like the Starwars snow speeder. Can't remember.

[cerulean olive]

I dig the tubes at the back, like it's sporting a V8 engine 😄

[primal raft]

Utopia speeder

[wanton raft]

Yeah, thanks.

[unkempt laurel]

I got the staff

[wanton raft]

Someone should send a pic of it to Elon Musk for when I starts work on his flying car.

[unkempt laurel]

Imma get the ship after school tmr then try and go for S class dreadnought

[primal raft]

I just found out that the atlas pack works well with the iteration Apollo helmet.

[cerulean olive]

I don't think it'll be different from normal staves

[wanton raft]

I assume you have to defeat the dreadnaught the traditional way to get it?

[unkempt laurel]

Yea

They surrender at the last second

Then you get it

[proud sparrow]

it's annoying that you can't add more cargo to the transfer area after starting the expedition

[cerulean olive]

Shoot them all. If one stays intact, the dreadnought can still escape

[wanton raft]

All while making sure you don't loose the freighter I assume.

[hexed bolt]

Any good way to find an exotic planet?

Its my last milestone and im not finding any >.>

[cerulean olive]

Shoot the engines first, then do the trenches and cannons and it will yield.

[wanton raft]

Which guns you like using the most for that?

[cerulean olive]

Go to red or green systems. Ones without a faction.

[cerulean olive]

Infra

[ashen shore]

One was in the atlas station system. Otherwise check ur log for planets that say hexagon or plated.

[hexed bolt]

we musta gone to different atlas systems

[ashen shore]

Ya the one i went was after i did the interceptor. Which was near the last rendezvous

[wanton raft]

I haven't started this expedition yet. How long I have for this one? Going to do it a the PC and PS4 as I always do.

[hexed bolt]

really depends how experienced you are and how well you prepare

[cerulean olive]

I took my sweet time and finished the mains in about 6 hours

[scarlet slate]

tbh, i take back the game today with the expeditions and its going smooth and fast

[wanton raft]

I meant whens the deadline.

[scarlet slate]

In 5 weeks

[spring wind]

How does one convert the expedition save to a normal one?

[scarlet slate]

If my memory is good

[wanton raft]

Ah, plenty of time. Good!

[cerulean olive]

It is

[cerulean olive]

Finish it at the terminal

[spring wind]

at the nexus?

[cerulean olive]

Yes

[spring wind]

I've finished all the non optional missions tho

[cerulean olive]

Ah, you didn't start from the terminal, I guess?

[wanton raft]

So with this expedition, you can save youself some time of you start from an existing save and cary over some resources right?

[hexed bolt]

gonna wait to finish the expedition so my base can stay accessible to new people and so i can get all that quicksilver from the optional milestones

[spring wind]

Nope, just came back after like 4 years and did the expedition

[cerulean olive]

Right.

[hexed bolt]

My current expedition quicksilver

[cerulean olive]

In that case, you will have to wait for the optionals to get completed. Shouldn't take long, though.

[spring wind]

Ah i see, i will go do my part with some scanning in the meanwhile then 🫡

[wanton raft]

Anyone made a quick list of the resources which you really need to save time? I know I can probably go through the pins for figure out most of that, but didn't see a summary pin for the resources.

[hexed bolt]

Someone on youtube probably has one

[stray dome]

my base is somehow killing animals

[wanton raft]

No doubt.

[ashen shore]

You can still claim the rewards in the expedition and access them afterwards on all saves via the expedition and quicksilver vendor on the anamoly

[cerulean olive]

I copied the Starborn ship from my expedition character and then claimed it at the quicksilver vendor. Now I have 2 of them

[stray dome]

ok my base is now set up for the liquid farm

[hexed bolt]

can i send stuff from the expedition to my normal save only once?

And can you send any of the currencies?

[formal thicket]

Any got some rare creature finding tips?

[cerulean olive]

I think it all transfers when you finish the expedition.

[wanton raft]

So it makes a copy of the save you choose to use and then integrates it back when done?

[cerulean olive]

Sorta.

[wanton raft]

Sounds kinda complicated, but I have a lot of faith in these devs!

[cerulean olive]

It worked for me without issues.

[wanton raft]

Did it give you any kinda of options when integrating back or did it just do it?

[neat latch]

Take 200 cactus flesh, 200 fungal mould, 99 pugneum, 67 or something mordite (so it’s best to carry 100 just in case), some high value trading items to sell for units that you’ll use to buy suspicious packages to get upgrade modules that you need to sell to make nanites, 100 or so cadmium and copper (saves us the grind), some chromatic material.

[cerulean olive]

I haven’t finished the expedition at the terminal yet, so I don’t know

[hasty venture]

That reminds me I have to go back to my save and send myself some cadmium and other stuff to fix one pulse drive upgrade in my copied ship (it actually copied the damage too)

[wanton raft]

Ah, so I take it that it doesn't transfer units.

[neat latch]

No. Your main save becomes expeditions save that you can choose to switch between main and expedition. There are no copies, no new saves.

[neat latch]

Nope

[hasty venture]

It’s a sub-save… technically

[neat latch]

No. It’s not a sub-save. It’s literally expedition save for the time you’re doing the expedition.

In the save editor if you access the save file it says “save file corrupted” because it cannot find the actual tags.

[wanton raft]

And it goes away I assume.

[neat latch]

Your primary/main save is converted to expedition save.

[neat latch]

Yes! Once you’re done or if you switch

[hasty venture]

Huh

[wanton raft]

Oh, so if you use a big fat save with tons of everything, do you risk loosing a bunch of it after it converts back?

[neat latch]

Nope

Your main save is safe

It’s like there are two codes, one active at any time while other is inactive.

And we have the ability to activate the code on whim

[wanton raft]

And the important new stuff you get in the expedition (which is not account rewards) makes it back into your original save some how then?

[neat latch]

At the end of the expedition when you wanna switch back to main save through console in anomaly there’s an option to carry over some items you might have earned in the expedition. 8 technology, 24 inventory items.

But there are no important new stuff. If you mean the rewards for phases, they carry over like normal.

[wanton raft]

Ah, so there kinda the same transfer at the start and at the end?

[neat latch]

If you choose to not carry any item you might have gathered during expedition it is converted into nanites of units.

[neat latch]

Yes.

[wanton raft]

Yes, I knew the account rewards would cary over to any save as usual.

[uncut sage]

The old method was Buddy up, screenshot what you want transferred, have them hold your gear while you load in on them from your main save

[neat latch]

Yep! This remains the same. Once unlocked and claimed in expedition the rewards can be claimed on any save via quicksilver synthesis vendor.

[neat latch]

Precisely! This new method removes that buddy with a console.

[uncut sage]

I have a super tiny s class freighter on my main so I'll probably hang onto any bulkhead upgrades I can manage

[neat latch]

Along with the ability to copy your active ship and multi-tool.

[wanton raft]

Ah, so it kinda cashes out a bunch of the items more or less.

[neat latch]

Yep! Any item you don’t carry back to primary save is cahsed out.

[uncut sage]

Which console?

[keen gate]

Hey! Im trying to load into the new expedition, but NMS is saying it cant connect! Im on an m2 mac, doesnt anyone know how I can fix this?

[uncut sage]

The one on the docks or an upstairs one?

[ashen shore]

Man I love the new expedition system

It's perfect

[neat latch]

Behind nexus cube in the space anomaly.

[wanton raft]

Good to hear. A tons of other space games (prety much all of them) could learn from Hello Games on how to do missions and super missions aka expeditions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[uncut sage]

So is this like uploading a characters available space to storage and grabbing that again on my main?

[neat latch]

Only 8 tech slots and 24 cargo slots worth, but yes.

[uncut sage]

And does it copy out the ships inventory or does it count against that?

I'd probably still go the old route for the purpose of rolling mould

[neat latch]

It copies out ship tech inventory, not the cargo.

Or maybe my ship didn’t have any cargo… lol!

[uncut sage]

Hm interesting.

[ashen shore]

Runaway you mean lol

[uncut sage]

That

[ashen shore]

The first time I ever saw runaway mould I was like wtf just happened

Because it literally ran away

💀

[wanton raft]

I'm glad mould doesn't grow quite as fast in real life!

[ashen shore]

Wait until you see the rocks in nms that aren't rocks but fauna

Lol

You hot it with the mining beam and it yelps then grows legs and runs

[wanton raft]

I've tried to capture one of those before and never succeeded. Anyone else?

[ashen shore]

Nope never tried and what's weird is they don't show up anywhere in the logs

They just exist

I'm wondering if it was just a joke put in by sean or HG themselves

😂

[ivory kite]

how do i bring my save file's multitools and ships to expedition?

[wanton raft]

They need to make a version of a rock where it turns into the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland which runs off saying it's late! Or a mod which makes them scream like Bobcat Goldthwait when running away!

[ashen shore]

I have a question though can you play a expedition more than once on any given save

Or a new save

[wanton raft]

You definitely can with a new save.

[dim barn]

Looking at this, not seeing right away where I start an exped on my normal save, am I supposed to start the new exped, and link it to a main save a bit in?

[neat latch]

You need to start the expedition with the active multi-tool and ship that you want to bring over. Log on to the save file you want to use, access the space anomal. Behind the nexus cube there's a new console, interact with it to start the expedition. Select items you wish to carry over, 8 technology items (upgrade modules), 24 cargo items (stuff you wanna access later on in the expedition). I have shared a list of important items somewhere above in this chat.

This will also copy your active multi-tool and ship over to the expedition that you can access when space anomaly is unlocked in the expedition.

This method will not work if you start a new expedition save.

[dim barn]

ok ok, thanks

Normally I figure this stuff out, but just got home, and too tired to think, lol

[neat latch]

lol, it's cool!

we're here to help 😄

[craggy hemlock]

this considered a hard edpedition?

[humble bramble]

Nah

It felt geared towards newer players

Just a bit more than usual

Not that it's a bad thing it's just with the trial going on rn it makes sense

[dense escarp]

having trouble completing one man's treasure

am I supposed to do the objective in the rendevous world?

[stray dome]

go far away and try again

[dense escarp]

alright, i'm gonna go through a black hole

[stray dome]

someone has a base nearby so you can't edit or you can try reporting the base

[dense escarp]

how do I even do the latter? the base computer is missing

[stray dome]

when you press x on pc it should have an option on the far right

[dense escarp]

ahh

well too late i already went 300k ly away

[novel carbon]

So we can only bring in supplies and a multi-tool + ship going into the expedition right? No bringing anything out except the rewards we unlock?

[stray dome]

when you complete it i believe you can take items out and what is not taken out is sold for nanites and credits

[novel carbon]

But not ships or freighters correct? I don't want to risk overwriting anything in my primary save

[stray dome]

i dont think you can

[thorn crane]

I posted this question on the subreddit but I have concerns about the atlas armor. I claimed it from the quicksilver companion but it doesn't seem to be available in the appearance customizer. Do I need to do anything related to the Atlas Eternal mission in order to actually be able to use it, or is this just some sort of bug? I tried restarting the game but that didn't seem to do anything.

[novel carbon]

Thanks. Wanted to make sure. I need to double check how many ships I have stored away too but definitely want to dive into this expedition with my primary save and eventually maybe see if i want to swap my freighter for a pirate dreadnought

[sturdy hedge]

finally finished the expedition and wow that ship is nimble as a mosquito, it turns so fast

i love the armor too

[fallow crypt]

how doe the expedition work with multiplyer

can i still meet people around in the game randomly?

[sturdy hedge]

it’s forced pve

[humble bramble]

Seems like a bug to me

[sturdy hedge]

you’ll see way more ppl than you ever have befroe

[fallow crypt]

okay cool installin the game now then

[humble bramble]

I don't think any expedition rewards are locked behind story progress

[thorn gorge]

best stuff to bring in?

[fallow crypt]

thats good

im starting a new survival profile

[wraith venture]

In caee no one is able to help you resolve it here, I'll share a link to Hello Games' Zendesk below so you can also report it to them, and hopefully it's something that could get patched soon if it's a bug...

!Hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[humble bramble]

Probably an indium drive if you can, portable refiner, and any resources that are a pain in the ass to get in the early game (like chromatic metal)

[thorn crane]

thanks, I'll report it there and see if there's anything I can do

[balmy bloom]

so how does expedition work

do i start it from main save

or normally from new game

[open helm]

You can do it from either

With a main save you go to the space anomaly and you can bring materials and such

To use in the expedition

After you finish it your save reverts to normal

[stray dome]

you get to take your ship, if it has an indium drive you don't need to take one just enough nanites to buy your ship

[humble bramble]

I didn't touch the terminal for the expedition

[fallow crypt]

how do i change my expedition to survival or its not possible?

[humble bramble]

Uhh probably just in the custom settings

[chilly latch]

I just soloed all 5 waqves of the Sentinels

[wintry void]

Don't think its possible to do it in survival

[humble bramble]

I'd think they meant after completing it

[fallow crypt]

ty

[lapis geode]

How do you do the Phase 3 Hot pursuit?

[stray dome]

find a pirate sector, take black market goods, teleport to base, teleport to space station, sell

[lapis geode]

Like buy the items that is highlighted with "Illegal Black Market Goods"?

Then sell it?

[stray dome]

yep

[lapis geode]

Nice thanks

[loud plume]

I think I softlocked myself to the starter system 💀

[loud plume]

Thanks Gunther

[spring wind]

If i created the save by starting an expedition, and when all optional quests are completed and im able to change it to a regular save, do my currencies come over to the save as well?

[loud plume]

I accidentally sold the life support base building unit, thinking it was a ui bug, but now I need uranium, but can't get it anywhere 💀

[elder yarrow]

what do i need to do to complete the bonus objectives?

[scarlet slate]

Just wait for the community to do his job 💀

[elder yarrow]

ah, i'm not yet at the first rendezvour world... explains abit XD

maybe i need to call it a night XD

[thick aurora]

what do we need a month for

i did it in less than a day

[tame nacelle]

And? With the new shipping stuff to main save does it make sense to not rush the expedition... increase rewards and items/tech/ships to push to old save.... this expedition is not only "do milestones".

[thick aurora]

hey man

i just wanted the cosmetics

[muted lance]

So if you start this expedition from your main save, at the end of the expedition will the creature companion eggs be on your main save?

[tame nacelle]

then rephrase it to "why do I need a month" not we. people cannot play during weekdays cause of chores and family and other activities are a thing.

[elder yarrow]

from what i have heard, you do an export like you did for the import when you're at the end of the expedition

[thick aurora]

yeah when you click end expedition

you transfer stuff back to your main save

[elder yarrow]

i'm not at the end yet, so i have no idea how accurate that is

[ashen shore]

hey so how do i bring stuff from my main save into the expedition?

[thick aurora]

you can only transfer the same amount of items back as you could transfering in though

[thick aurora]

start it from the anomaly

[elder yarrow]

new shop in the anomaly in the hangar

[ashen shore]

ooh ok thanks

[elder yarrow]

you can't get to it in the expedition until you're back at the anamoly... so keep that in mind

[tame nacelle]

I do not know if that works crosssave - but if you started the expedtion via the anomly interface your can opt in and out from your normal save.

[thick aurora]

you gotta basically already complete phase 1 to access the anomaly

[muted lance]

Thank you lots. I mainly just want the companions on my main save so that should be plenty of room for the eggs

[gilded tiger]

For tech and cargo you bring into expedition, do you bring them back after expedition?

[chilly latch]

I have finished the expedition

[neat garden]

Is anybody else getting an infinite amount of emergency signal scanners

I deleted them and they just come back

Also why is the waypoint for the exotic creature taking me to a galaxy with no exotic fauna on it?

[crimson rose]

A Galaxy?

[neat garden]

Planet sorry

[crimson rose]

Your looking for a Glitch planet. I think they usually only have one type of fauna@neat garden

[neat garden]

Odd but yeah i go to the galaxy map and the node im currently in has no glitch planets so im not sure why its marking it

My sleep deprivation might just be getting to me and im probably just missing the obvious

[hollow frost]

What's the best way of finding sunken freighter, it's the last thing I have remaining.

[stray dome]

nautiloid with a scanner

[hollow frost]

Nvm just got lucky and found a base next to one in my portal

[ionic karma]

No fix on crashes

I crashed 3 times yesterday

To many people in expedition servers

[elder yarrow]

with copying over the ship and tool, what gets cloned?

[ashen shore]

can someone help me get to a outlaw place?

[elder yarrow]

ah, it's a copy, but you're going to spend like 2-3k nanites for it =/

[dry escarp]

buy confilict/economy scanner blueprint from anomaly

[ashen shore]

i have- nothing came of it sadly

[dry escarp]

there even should be a quest-like skull mark next to a outlaw system (when you have it installed)

[ashen shore]

tried looking but found nothing

[ivory kite]

how do i transfer the expedition multitool to my main save?

[elder yarrow]

the terminal will let you (for a price) copy a multitool either way assuming you started the expedition from your main save

like i just copied my jaffa stick into the expedition... but it cost 2.2k nanites from the expedition side

[ivory kite]

it could go both ways?

i only tried copying from expedition side

[elder yarrow]

yeah, i just pulled my main multi tool into the expedition save

interesting... there's new tech on that expedition multitool

[thorn gorge]

brooo i tried to put a bunch of fusion igniters for expedition and couldn’t sell

oh um

nvm

ez 1 billion units 💀

[elder yarrow]

wait no, i'm tired so i can't read XD

[thorn gorge]

im buying whatever i want now : D

[bright scarab]

pretty sure it's the reverse at a glance?

I think you can copy your expedition ship/tool TO a save, not the reverse?

[thorn gorge]

how can i make 5k nanites rq

[bright scarab]

do the milestones probably?

[elder yarrow]

yeah, i just copied my main save multitool into the expedition

[bright scarab]

yeah, every RV point gives 1.2k per

[thorn gorge]

but i want my ship and multitool from creative

[elder yarrow]

which means now i've got a weapon where i can prolly go toe to toe with the sentinels and come out on top

[thorn gorge]

this’ll take long

[bright scarab]

ehhh, not too bad since it's just a normal save?

especially if you have a half-decent area to fight them with something to hide behind

[elder yarrow]

eh, my main is a survival save... i don't know if that affects the expeditions, but i'm going for max cheese cause death in survival sucks

[karmic flint]

Did anybody see the new atlas thing?

[bright scarab]

it doesnt yeah

[karmic flint]

does it change anything?

[bright scarab]

the cosmetics/ship?

[elder yarrow]

ah great, so i'm just destroying whatever balance was here then XD

[karmic flint]

The path rework thing

[bright scarab]

yeah

[odd dune]

I like to be able to use my own ship for the expedition.👍

[wild cobalt]

How do I claim the companion egg from the expedition for my main save?

[granite vine]

Quicksilver shop should have it for you

[wild cobalt]

do I claim it on the expedition save? Is it still available then?

I'm not using the expedition save further

[granite vine]

Expedition rewards can be claimed on your main save at the QS shop

Same with Twitch drops

[stoic wing]

Has anyone get any cactus flesh or fungal mold they can give me on the expedition save?

[wild cobalt]

Sorry, do I claim the rewards from the expedition tab on the expedition save, or do I ignore that here and only go for QS shop on main account? Because normally the rewards from expedition tab are given out directly.

[granite vine]

Claim it on the expedition tab, then when you are on your main save you can go to the QS shop and collect it from there

[wild cobalt]

Thanks

[stoic wing]

Can anyone give me cactus flesh and fungal mold in the expedition as I cannot get any and it’s annoying me now

[thorn gorge]

bro easiest way for nanites:
kill a sentinel and leave the triangle head alive to spawn more ez kills > get the combat supplies > glass to technology > sell for nanites

how i got my ship and multitool in expedition

[stoic wing]

?

[thorn gorge]

eh

it’s broken

[stoic wing]

What is broken?

[thorn gorge]

nanite farm

underrated

all the other ones are just cover ups 🤫

[stoic wing]

Ok?

[thorn gorge]

yeah

[fringe agate]

Why can't you get any?

[stoic wing]

None of the npc are selling any and I don’t have enough on me to make plants to farm it

[hollow shore]

Not sure if you found your answer, but you have to be the Anomaly race to be able to outfit the Atlas Headshield: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/839545127692795954/1208016433209147432/image.png?ex=65e1bff9&is=65cf4af9&hm=d47a1495645233675c7d7c1a000e68f5a24520de682abd19964a14bcb2abea65&
And this is the Atlas Flightpack: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/839545127692795954/1208016434027044904/image.png?ex=65e1bff9&is=65cf4af9&hm=7353060ce360bf0349ef482273074a867308f22167505274067b8b30401b5583&

[fringe agate]

I see, well you can also gather it from plants on the worlds that support those types - and you could try checking the list of bases in the expedition systems - many times there are farms you can visit and take from

[deft lichen]

sincerely hope the next expedition doesn't require using black holes

because MAN.

this takes FOREVER

[stoic wing]

Uh ok I jsut need that and the bloody sunken freighter

[dry escarp]

you can put both a cape and backpack at once?

[lyric roost]

With save editor yeah

It actually makes your cape visible to other players

[trail kraken]

stuck in the rendezvous lol

reloaded a save, gonna move the ship this time

[placid dew]

Hey, can I use the expedition to transfer items from normal saves to my permadeath save?

Or does the expedition only allows transferring item back to the same save it begins with?

[hollow shore]

The latter. From the save you wish to use for expedition, you select items to use and once you finish, it reverts back allowing to transfer once more with what you gathered during the expedition (limited)

For full details on how it works, see the pin

[placid dew]

:( I thought I could transfer them previous expedition-exclusive items to my permadeath save

[hollow shore]

If with 'exclusive' you mean expedition rewards, they are account wide available on all saves, you will just have to check the Anomaly Vendor

This new mechanic does not allow for cross save transfer in general

[thorn gorge]

how do you find a scorched planet?

[deft lichen]

oh my god. you were supposed to warp bac kto your base. i just spent an hour warping thru the galaxy map or w/e

[hollow shore]

Warp to a system, scan planets

[thorn gorge]

i meant how to do it fast

[deft lichen]

warp to a system and scan planets

[thorn gorge]

because it is ‘t working for me

[hollow shore]

Scorched planets can have a variety of names

[thorn gorge]

I found an “erupting” planet, took a screenshot, but nothing happened

[hollow shore]

@thorn gorge Try the following command in #bot-spam : !faq-biomes

[thorn gorge]

thanks

[remote thunder]

starter system has a scorched (solanium+phosphorus), a airless (rusted metal) and a frozen (frost crystal+dioxite)

[hollow shore]

Once you find a suitable planet, make sure to enter atmosphere at least before taking the image. Also make sure to use the in-game Photo Mode

[thorn gorge]

did all those, but ok

[thorn gorge]

i do not remember the system name

[remote thunder]

erupting == lava, != scorched

[thorn gorge]

how do i find it ahain?

[remote thunder]

check pins

[stoic wing]

Is anyone able to help me with the explosives and the sentinel interceptor mission in the expedition please

[remote thunder]

what seems to be the issue

[stoic wing]

As it’s getting so annoying trying to find places to get the fungal mold and cactus fruits and I don’t have the equipment for the sentinel mission

[naive prism]

i used my AI fragment to find an interceptor, found it, but now i can't interact with the ship

bugged in online?

[remote thunder]

you've got 5 weeks to complete this expedition; you'll obtain weapon upgrade modules that will make combat a lot easier; i mean phase 3 reward is an atlas staff with a neutron cannon setup already installed; fungal mould and cactus flesh you can straight up buy from some pilots, use those nanites you've got burning a hole in your pocket and unlock the eco scanner to find trade outposts

[remote thunder]

save+reload

[placid dew]

No, I want to transfer the expedition items and techs from previous expedition saves such as Station override key and Singularity engine

[remote thunder]

those aren't the exp that's live atm

couldn't possibly do that atm

[placid dew]

Yeah, but I have those on my converted saves.

[remote thunder]

right

not live expedition save

why would you need to singularity engine in an expedition for which all targets are within basically 3000LY?

[deft lichen]

how much actual surveying do you have to do to contribute to the community research?

[remote thunder]

no idea

how much you want to

[deft lichen]

hmm.

[remote thunder]

have fun

[placid dew]

I just want the tech on my permadeath save :D

[remote thunder]

you're not going to get it, because you can't start a exp save from the anomaly starting from one save, and then go transfer stuff to a different save, that's not how it works

[placid dew]

But alas, it seems that you can only transfer to the same save, so permadeath still can't get singularity engines :(

[remote thunder]

well, no, it can't.

[deft lichen]

the only thing you can get on your permadeath save is what's already on your save and anything you can recieve in this expedition

[remote thunder]

hence, "live exp"

sing engine is neat but barely has any usefulness tbh

[deft lichen]

some people don't have the required background information to understand what "live exp" means. exp is commonly used to refer to experience across many other video games. Shorthand and terminology is great for people who are hardcore into NMS, but for anyone who plays more casually, it can be confusing.

[remote thunder]

(we're in the expedition channel)

[placid dew]

But I wonder, though. Can I use a middleman to transfer items between saves?
Here's how it works:

1. Transfer items from source save to the expedition cargo.
2. Start the expedition on source save.
3. Give items to another player you trust that are in the expedition.
4. Start another expedition on target save.
5. Get the items from the same player you just gave your items to.
6. Finish the expedition on target save.
7. Transfer items back to the target save through the cargo.

[remote thunder]

no

@placid dew can't transfer stored tech/modules to another player

[deft lichen]

yes, we are. where it's spelled "expedition" and not "exp". all i'm saying is that not everyone has a perfect grasp on context clues 👍

[remote thunder]

items, resources, fine

[remote thunder]

let's get something straight - i wasn't commenting with a bad tone to what you said, let's move on

[placid dew]

But items still work, so, uh... maybe I can transfer a ton of memory fragment from my converted Leviathan save.....

(Not that it'll be useful, and the fact that save editing exists, but it'll be a """""legit""""" way of obtaining items)

Wait, I read that there's a equipment terminal that can make copy of the multi-tool from the starting save plus the techs.
Can I take the tech out of the copied multi-tool and transfer it back to the main save at the end of expedition, thus duplicating the tech module?

[woven bridge]

Can I get to a pirate system with only an economy scanner? I don't feel like beating a walker just to make a conflict scanner.

[remote thunder]

yes

[remote thunder]

yes

[woven bridge]

How do I know which system is a pirate system then? Since I don't see any skull showing.

<:nmsatlas:972222451801010207> Finding Outlaw Systems

Requires Economy Scanner OR Conflict Scanner installed on your active ship. If using a Living ship, the Wormhole Brain. When using the Freighter Galaxy Map, the Interstellar Scanner tech is required.

In the galaxy map, look for systems with a small pirate skull left of the Economy type icon and identified as Black Market, or with Conflict level set to Pirate Controlled.

[remote thunder]

where there would be stars, now there would be a skull

where there would be eco tier description, there's "black market"

[woven bridge]

Ok thanks

[stoic wing]

I have been trying to buy it off them for the hole day so far and none are selling to me

All I really need is someone to to donate some to me as I can’t get any and the for the dentist ship I don’t have a advanced drill as I can’t get the staff as I can’t get fungal mold

[remote thunder]

where did you try to buy it?

[naive prism]

any way to re-roll echo locater base camp multitools?

[remote thunder]

goto another planet, save+reload, return

[placid dew]

Okay, what items and tech should I prepare on my way to the expedition?

[elder yarrow]

think it'd be worth it to make the tech for the minotaur ahead of time and pass that in?

[stoic wing]

In a bunch of space stations

[remote thunder]

fungal mould and cactus flesh you can straight up buy from some pilots, use those nanites you've got burning a hole in your pocket and unlock the eco scanner to find **trade outposts **

install eco scanner, hop in ship, quick menu, utilities, scan for trade outpost

21 diff pilots per system, 21 diff inventories to buy from

[ionic karma]

Hoe many times does my game have to crash before they do hotfix

[remote thunder]

fwiw, 0 crashes since exp trials started

try asking around #nms-questions for assistance

[deft lichen]

how much fungal mold am i gonna need for later

[ionic karma]

My game keeps crashing playing omega

[elder yarrow]

you need 600 for acid

[ionic karma]

I submitted to them about it

[deft lichen]

ty. same for cactus flesh?

[remote thunder]

strange, catalog says 200

[elder yarrow]

check to make sure drivers and windows is up to date?

[remote thunder]

nope, 200

[wraith junco]

Where can i take my exp role badge?

[remote thunder]

#nms-questions

[deft lichen]

rols channel

[wraith junco]

I dont see it there

[naive prism]

does it also work to build a base computer, then go to the anomaly, reload, and v.v?

[remote thunder]

not afaik

[remote thunder]

expand channels

[elder yarrow]

going by https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Acid (which i just crafted in game) it's 600

best way to do that is to just find a trade terminal, and look for pilots that fly in with them

[wraith junco]

Thx

[tawny token]

Wow that expedition was short

Super sweet though

[elder yarrow]

unless there's an objective i haven't completed yet that gives you that item that is XD

[frail hound]

is there a way to get the ship from expedition to my save?
cuz i really like the model

[deft lichen]

yep

[ionic karma]

It takes Fucking piss game is unplayable keep crashing in my spaceship

[remote thunder]

see pinned post

[remote thunder]

do you have mp enabled

[steady idol]

Craft liquid explosive? Strange for a task

[visual crane]

Hey, should I return from where the black hole took me?

[deft lichen]

YES

go back to your base

or you'll spend two collective hours trying to warp back to RDV 2

[ionic karma]

Yes

[remote thunder]

simply visit the station of the closest rendezvous system - then teleport back

[visual crane]

Haha yeah, I had figured as much. I was confused cuz I saw 4 lines but no icon

[remote thunder]

disable it, save+reload from main menu

[thorn gorge]

just got myself the ingredients for it in my expedition vault before i started then used nanite farm to learn the recipe

[steady idol]

Gone too far now to pass items across

[ionic karma]

Any food thing's for meat

[thorn gorge]

how unfortunate

[steady idol]

In hindsight probably should have looked at em first then started again to send certain items across but ah well

[remote thunder]

you sure about that?

[thorn gorge]

objectively speaking, i was just that genius to think if finding a youtube video named “best start for nms expedition 12”

[remote thunder]

it used to be 600

it was 600 on the first exp trial run on steam experimental only

[elder yarrow]

that was in survival, not in the expedition... maybe they changed the recipe for the expedition?

[remote thunder]

crafting recipe costs don't change from mode to mode

they literally changed the recipe

[frail hound]

can i play previous expeditions?

[fringe agate]

Omega Role added to #roles (react to gain) as well as selfassignable in #bot-spam with .iam Omega

[remote thunder]

unless the devs run them again, no

[elder yarrow]

that's in survivor hopping out of the expedition

[visual crane]

BTW is all the Quicksilver rewarded this time only usable in the expedition?

[steady idol]

Unless it's a redux event for expeditions, that is if we get another one, then no can't choose to replay em

[frail hound]

will they be run again or?

[thorn gorge]

probably in a while

[remote thunder]

they've rerun past expeditions before, but there's somewhat of a pattern, that they kinda broke off last year. depends on what expeditions you were wanting to play, if it's early ones, it's less likely

[frail hound]

are the expeditions connected between them or?

[deft lichen]

nah they're usually standalone stories

[frail hound]

perfect

[remote thunder]

yeah, apparently they can make it so different crafting costs, i stand corrected, thanks

[stoic wing]

Can you give me some please

[boreal violet]

Having trouble finding an underwater wreck.... any tips?

[remote thunder]

complete and claim p4m1

[wraith junco]

You can use nautilion scanner

[remote thunder]

build geobay to spawn nautilon, delete geo to get mats back, install high powered sonar

hop in nautilon, scan for sunken crashed freighter

[thorn gorge]

where is the exotic fauna in the expedition?

[boreal violet]

I finished the relic hunter for that but not sure which planet to search

[remote thunder]

any planet with water in an inhabited system

there's multiple planets along exp route/rdv systems

[thorn gorge]

i just went to the ocean of a water planet and found one intsantly

[remote thunder]

get your indium drive installed, then focus on exploring red star systems with 6 planets, type !faq-starcolor in #bot-spam for more info

[ashen shore]

How long does it take to do expedition im tempted to play

[deft lichen]

if you're dedicated and know what you're doing you can knock it out in a day

[thorn gorge]

taken me 8 hours so far

worth it

if you know what you are doing

[ashen shore]

Dayum gonna be doin that for a while

[tawny token]

I smashed it out in around 4-5 hours

[boreal violet]

Big tnx got it working

[remote thunder]

installed economy scanner on my ship, scanned for a trade outpost, interacted with a few pilots still looking for cactus, but this was the first pilot i interacted with; they had cactus

[trail kraken]

what do you actually need cactus for

[tawny token]

Unstable gel for the liquid explosive

[deft lichen]

luuubricant?? i think?

[trail kraken]

oh

I see

[remote thunder]

phase 3 milestone 5

[trail kraken]

alright

[frail hound]

uhm where is the >?

[remote thunder]

@stoic wing and there it is, a pilot with fungal mould, same trade outpost

[remote thunder]

which one

[thorn gorge]

I have the following types of plants in my system (I have been indicated that there is exotic fauna in my system); Miasmatic, Stellar Corruption Detected, Crimson, Corrosive, Desolate, Foaming. Do I check all of them or is there a specific planet that guarantees exotic fauna?

[fallow dirge]

@remote thunder I just want to say that you are extremely helpful to everyone, do you do this voluntarily? I'm impressed.

[remote thunder]

look for planets with gold on resource list

[thorn gorge]

ok

[remote thunder]

yep, just a player like yourself 🙂

[cosmic shuttle]

How do you start it?
It's supposed ot be seamless, but the new game has expedition mode..

[remote thunder]

check top pinned post

[cosmic shuttle]

top pinned post is for all expeditions prior to this one tho..

[thorn gorge]

never seen a foaming plant and I guess so. You were right thanks for the help 👍

[north pumice]

"Defeat pirate freighters in combat and board them to demand control" Wait WAIT HOLD ON...I can HAVE this freighter!?

@cosmic shuttle ^

[remote thunder]

correct

[remote thunder]

no problem 🙂

[thorn gorge]

ok i’ve practically completed expedition. just need atlas station and last rendezvous

[cosmic shuttle]

ty!

I mean what

I have those pins

[visual crane]

How do I find an airless planet? Even the worst one's I've encountered so far have atmospheres lol

[cosmic shuttle]

Im okay

[remote thunder]

starter system has one, any planet with rusted metal on resource list

[boreal violet]

They should say airless from your ship in space

[remote thunder]

they can say a bunch of stuff - just look for rusted metal in the resource list

[visual crane]

thanks 🙂

[pulsar turtle]

why cant i spawn the space anamoly

[stoic wing]

How do I make cookies?

And how do I find the ingredients?

[boreal violet]

It unlocks after you finish the 1st few missions in phase 1

[pulsar turtle]

thanks

[remote thunder]

the mission hint and target sweep visor mode will assist

[boreal violet]

Anomaly should unlock once you leave 1st system

[stoic wing]

How much cactus and fungal mold do I need?

[remote thunder]

200 each

[stoic wing]

Just 200

No more

[remote thunder]

no less

[trail kraken]

how much stuff do I need to analyse on the second rendezvous world

I've done this rn and it's still on 50%

[remote thunder]

optional milestones are community efforts

[trail kraken]

oh

I see

[deft lichen]

this is weird. the discovery tab says this planet has solanium, but when i look at it through my hud in my ship it says it's got fungal mold

[trail kraken]

so I'll just have to wait then

[hasty venture]

Welp, gotta find a frozen planet now

[remote thunder]

any planet with frost crystal on the resource list

starter system has 1

!hg @deft lichen

[unkempt kraken]

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

[hasty venture]

doesn't it have to say Frozen planet though?

[remote thunder]

no, just look for frost crystal on resource list

[hasty venture]

it only worked with scorched and airless for the other two...

[thorn crane]

I was using the anomaly race, there's literally just no 22nd helmet option or a 7th backpack, not even locked ones

[remote thunder]

it's about biome, not what synonym a given planet uses

[thorn crane]

It stops at 21 and 6

[hasty venture]

hiemal planet it is

[remote thunder]

i did all of grand tour in the starter system, didn't even have to land my ship

just make sure you get the top left notification of having entered atmos and you're fine from that point

[hasty venture]

oooh time to get a pirate freighter

[hasty venture]

yepyep, got it

also just realized you can return to primary save from anywhere. don't have to go to the anomaly

[hollow shore]

I take it you finished the Expedition, then visited the Anomaly QS Bot to claim the rewards?
What platform are you on?
Could you please provide a screenshot of the current Expedition rewards as shown in the shop?

[cedar steeple]

such an exciting update

[cosmic shuttle]

How do you "escape velocity"
I warped, im in space, idk where to go, no marker

[remote thunder]

land on a different planet

[trail kraken]

if I shoot this what happens

[cosmic shuttle]

you awaken a wave of small monsters.
