nms-expedition

[trail kraken]

do they still wake up

alright

[cosmic shuttle]

THey<re pretty tough early on

[trail kraken]

are they like the ones on planets

the burrowing things

[cosmic shuttle]

Smaller, and they crawl on walls/roofs

[trail kraken]

ah

[deft lichen]

heads up for anyone struggling with getting Airless, check out player bases on the anomaly. i just lucked out finding one on a low atmosphere planet

[rapid scaffold]

hey guys does the new atlas staff require doing the echoes story line first?

[elder yarrow]

y'know... if I bring in my actual ship to the expedition, I can convert all the ship mods into nanites, then when it comes time to wrap up the expedition, move all of S and X rank ship mods onto the expedition ship... and end up with an expedition ship that's (still in need of a lot of work) but much more ready to become something better

[elder yarrow]

no, you can copy over that multi tool and use it

[remote thunder]

easy enough to check, didn't cross my mind

[rapid scaffold]

i cant check it

because im on switch

no update

[remote thunder]

phase 3 reward is unlocked account wide

[rapid scaffold]

im waiting

[remote thunder]

don't even need to copy it

[rapid scaffold]

well thats sick

im gonna do this expedition cuz the ship and staff actually look great

you know when the update is out i mean

[remote thunder]

odd, what's the build number you see lower right of the main menu? 117261?

[rapid scaffold]

its not odd switch always takes like 2 extra weeks compared to other plataforms

echoes took ages too

i checked yesterday night and there was nothing

[elder yarrow]

wait, so we only get to copy out one ship?

[remote thunder]

correct

and one MT

the runner? that's unlocked account wide, same as the atlas staff

[hollow shore]

The update should be available for Switch, it was made available shortly after release to other platforms this time around

[remote thunder]

i'd say that there's no need to copy runner/atlas staff

[elder yarrow]

so i get the reward ship, and a ship from the save to export?

[trail kraken]

so I've copied my tool and ship, would I now have two of each?

that seems confusing

[rapid scaffold]

huh ill check later thats cool

[trail kraken]

especially because I've modified the tool

[remote thunder]

yeah, basically, it will unlock the runner account wide anyway, since final exp reward, and then you can still copy another ship over

[remote thunder]

when you goto the quicksilver shop, claim exp rewards, in another save, you should see the exp12 rewards still to be claimed

because you haven't done so - you synth cloned them

[remote thunder]

that's a different reason

and for that, you'd probably want to synth clone back to primary save yeah

[trail kraken]

I mean the ones I took from my main save

[remote thunder]

you're given the option to do just that, if you have the ship/MT space

[last briar]

how can i take photo for the mission

[trail kraken]

I see

[elder yarrow]

same menu that you use to summon a second starship or another exocraft

far right of htat menu

[remote thunder]

drop inside planet atmos, open photo mode, then grab the screen with in game photo mode's button, wait for a few seconds, exit photo mode. if it didn't register, try using the platforms screenshot tool e.g. steam overlay screenshot grabber, playstation share menu and/or playstation quick screenshot

[elder yarrow]

oh importing that ship was worth it... the warp range on it is going to make this far faster for the rest of the expedition

[trail kraken]

I just imported my ship then realised it's worse than the one I got lmao

[elder yarrow]

RIP

[elder yarrow]

i dunno, hyperdrive matters more here...

but i imagine those numbers are close enough that it's not going to make much of a difference tbh

[trail kraken]

first pic is the one I imported

[ionic karma]

Ik taking photos but nothing is happening

It's not counting it

Do I need to get a camera

[hidden roost]

how do i complete the biscuit mission??

[trail kraken]

it should just be in the quick menu

are you definitely on the right type of planet

[sturdy hedge]

the pirate freighter works the same as normal ones in terms of the reroll method to get s class right?

like if it spawns c class i can reload and return and it can be a different class?

[ionic karma]

It says hot planet

[hollow shore]

Correct. Do keep in mind you'd have to be able to do the event again, either in a system that permanently has the pirate battle, or with a save from before warping into the event

[ionic karma]

Need better hyperdrived then

[sturdy hedge]

hopefully it won’t take too long. so far it’s fun disabling the ship but after 20 times i doubt i’ll be enjoying myself lol

[hollow shore]

Ahuh, it can become quite a chore repeating it

[hidden roost]

Hello?

[hollow shore]

Ah, expedition I assume. It needs that one extra ingredient, check the mission details

[hidden roost]

the WHAT?!

[stoic wing]

I made 5 cookies and the milestone hasn’t popped?

Is it bugged?

[cunning crescent]

I don't understand the task "Hot Chase" would someone please explain to me what it means. I've been trying around for hours. Thanks for the help in advance.

[hollow shore]

@stoic wing @hidden roost You need to make a cookie that uses an extra ingredient. Only one will do, but just not the basic cookie

[hidden roost]

oke

[stoic wing]

What ingredients can I use?

[hollow shore]

Quite a few, just try something. Wheat, Cactus, ...

We also have the #nms-expedition channel, I am sure you'll find answers there too

[hidden roost]

this is the #nms-expedition

[hollow shore]

Ah, ... lol. My bad, already there

I got all switcheroo-ed ...

[hollow shore]

That Milestone basically needs you to be having illegal items/resources on you for a minimal worth. It helps to get the Forged Passport reward from another Milestone to get to an Outlaw system. Easy to purchase plenty contraband there

[ionic karma]

Can't find these planets to photograph

[sturdy hedge]

WHOOO 3rd reroll and it’s s class

i used up my luck today

[hollow shore]

You can check !faq-biomes in #bot-spam to see names to look for when scanning planets in a system

[hasty venture]

huh, seems like my packet of seeds is not in my inventory, rip

[cunning crescent]

Thanks for help it works

[hasty venture]

oh wait nvm, just figured out what it is

[stoic wing]

Where can I find an underwater frigate?

[hollow shore]

Use the Nautilon, and try scanning for one

[ionic karma]

Do need to get close to plant

As nothing isn't happening

no I need to land on it

I'm at scorched planet do I need to land on it @hollow shore

[deft lichen]

if it's not working from orbit then yes, land

[hollow shore]

At least within atmosphere and take a photo mode image

(you should notice the count add up when you do)

[stoic wing]

Is there any systems that we travel to that can have one?

[deft lichen]

any system with water and civilization i think

[hollow shore]

Most likely yes, I do not recall, but it will need water

[blazing fossil]

One thing I definitely recommend bringing in from your main save is runaway mould for nanites

So you can copy your MT/Ship

[toxic vale]

Is it possible to restart the expedition? I didn’t bring any nanites 😦

[blazing fossil]

Yes

But you get lots of nanites in the exped

So it’s not worth it really

[hollow shore]

Just to verify with you. Are both the primary and the expedition equivalent made from it, present in the loading screen?

[visual crane]

Hey so I've found the sentinel ship but don't have the brain

[blazing fossil]

Loot the ship?

[visual crane]

It won't let me... and now I see a base computer here... RIP

[blazing fossil]

No
You either see the main save or the expedition save on the save select screen

At least as far as I could tell

[rapid scaffold]

how much more time is the expedition?

[blazing fossil]

!exptime

[unkempt kraken]

to view, enable Link Preview

Expedition 12: Omega

Event ends <t:1710759600> (<t:1710759600:R>)

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

[rapid scaffold]

ty

[visual crane]

this is the problem with the expedition being multiplayer....

[hollow shore]

@blazing fossil Then what steps would be required to undo this for restarting it using the same primary save?

[blazing fossil]

Ah right

I actually don’t know

[hollow shore]

Yeah, trying to think of a way as well. Options menu to switch to primary is not a solution either then. Not sure the Exp Terminus provides a means to end prematurely

(i only used new saves in my testing)

[cerulean olive]

it doesn't.

[hollow shore]

So once started you're stuck with it, at least until you either finish, or it expires?

Downside of using a primary save to begin with?

[cerulean olive]

You can only finish the exp at the terminal if you've done all primary phases.
Once you started you're stuck with it until you finished it or the time expires.

[hollow shore]

alright

[blazing fossil]

You’re technically able to restart at any time with a different save/save selection

[cerulean olive]

You can simply switch back to your main save and not play the exp, or create a new exp save from the selection screen.

[hollow shore]

A different, yes

Thanks both for the info, appreciate it

[stoic wing]

Would this work to find the underwater frigate?

[deft lichen]

is there water?

[cerulean olive]

any planet with deep water will work

[stoic wing]

How do I know if it has deep water?

[deft lichen]

get out and look

[blazing fossil]

It does

[deft lichen]

unfortunately that's about all you can do is check it

[stoic wing]

Ok good I am guessing you have been there?

[blazing fossil]

Yes

[fringe agate]

You don't need deep water for sunken freighters

They can literally be almost completely above the waterline

[ionic karma]

Anyone got any find bits yhwy don't need

Need bone milk

Eggs

Heptaploid wheat

Making cakes 🎂 to sell and give out ro players

Thid gonna be my save so I started doing a garden I like I did before

[mild valley]

hi someone can tell me if we know when nms will be free to play ?

[elder yarrow]

anyone know if you can replay the expedition after completing it on your main save?

[remote thunder]

either by making a new save, or by going through the anomaly in an existing save, yeah, i think so

sounds like something they would add

[wraith junco]

The expedition mode is free to play until monady. It should be available now.

Check nomanssky com

[ionic karma]

Don't matter to I have GP

Me

[mild valley]

i can’t access nms on xbox i need to subscribe game pass so what’s going on ?

[ionic karma]

It says find links

Look on X

Aka Twitter

[mild valley]

it’s avalaible even if i have get nms by game pass already ?

[remote thunder]

@mild valley

[mild valley]

thanks a lot it work now i can do the expedition omega 🥳🎉

[hidden roost]

how do i do the "Xenophile" guest

[broken lodge]

Trying to load my save back into the expedition but just keeps crashing..? Anyone else having issues like this? On ps5.

[hidden roost]

I don't understand the hint

[remote thunder]

look for planets with gold on the resource list

[cunning crescent]

not yet

[remote thunder]

new save, or started from existing save? if the latter, did you return to primary after having started?

[hidden roost]

ok

[broken lodge]

Existing save and no I don't believe so. When I finished playing last night I saved at my base (still on the expedition) and quit. Havnt been able to play due to the crashes today.

[remote thunder]

they're more common in red star systems

[broken lodge]

Occasionally loads and shows me my base but crashes the second I move

The other times it crashes after the no man's sky galaxy screen

[remote thunder]

start game, get to main menu, right after pressing load save unplug internet cable

[hidden roost]

can i go to red stars if i only have the S-class warp upgrade?

[remote thunder]

indium drive will cover all star system colors, yes

[hidden roost]

ok. thanks!

[broken lodge]

Ok, so I'm in, how do I continue the expedition? Or is it bugged/should I wait

Also appreciate the help as always @remote thunder

[remote thunder]

expeditions don't require online to play - keep options/network/multiplayer disabled; once you get out of that system, you should be able to plug cable back in, save+restart game

[broken lodge]

👍 cheers bud. Much appreciated

[remote thunder]

anytime

[hidden roost]

COMPLETED IT!!

[opaque tide]

2nd step finding the planet is so faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

from the 1st one

[balmy bloom]

does someone know where i can find ocean freighter

[hexed bolt]

Can i send things back to my main save only once? (once finished)

[obsidian zinc]

Now equip the role

[blazing fossil]

Yes

[blazing fossil]

In water

Use the nautilus scanner

[hidden roost]

how

[blazing fossil]

#roles

[elder yarrow]

yes, not far enough along to say how, but if it's like the input, it'll copy them for you

[obsidian zinc]

Roles, then scroll up to expiditions

[hidden roost]

so like this?

[faint mesa]

So, fellow travellers... I'll start the expedition soon.
Is this a long one or short? Wondering if I can do it in one session

[hidden roost]

i did it in 5h

[blazing fossil]

Maybe four or five hours

Length also depends on game knowledge

[cerulean olive]

yeah. it's a fairly easy one.

[distant spruce]

whats best multitool to take to expedition? I want to max one before taking it with me

[faint mesa]

Oh ok, I guess if I push it I can do it 😅
Thanks!

[elder yarrow]

btw, do yourself a favor and get mods for the minotaur and import those. anyone know if the unrevealed s rank mods count as items?

[hexed bolt]

I guess I should wait for the community expedition to finish the optional milestones before converting back to my regular save?

[blazing fossil]

One you like

Anything will do the job

[blazing fossil]

If you want the rewards yes

[slim oxide]

Do the things i unlock with quicksilver transfer to my main save?

[elder yarrow]

anyone figured out an easy way to import about 6k nanites into the expedition?

[slim oxide]

Tbh i was gonna try it next time with the glass shard drops

[blazing fossil]

HOLY SHIT

||I think I’m speaking to void mommy right now||

[chilly latch]

Is the MMOI-type thing for this expedition exclusive to Expeditions or can I see players when MP is on?

[blazing fossil]

You can-ish but you porbably won’t

[chilly latch]

Damn

I wish the game was more MMO-like

[lusty slate]

So I'm prepped and will start Omega after work today.

But I also want the bonus QS and whispering horror egg from the optional community milestones. I can just complete most of the exped, pause it, return to my main, then resume/finish exped when the community milestones clear? Correct? Any known bugs with the pause feature?

[blazing fossil]

You can complete the expedition
Then not “complete” it at the terminal and come back when the milestones are done

[lusty slate]

Excellent. Any known bugs with switching back and forth? Or does it work fine?

[blazing fossil]

Not that I know of

[opaque tide]

im traveling into the space for more than 2h with my pirate freighter, still not found the 2n randez-vous

is it normal ?

[blazing fossil]

Use a portal to go back to your starting base and it will be close

It’s probably because you went through a black hole or something

[opaque tide]

yes i did the black hole quest

because the quest was before ...

fck

[lusty slate]

It's usually a good precaution in most expeditions to visit each rendezvous system space station. So you can have it in the station teleport list in case you need to quickly back track.

[opaque tide]

ok i found

close to the first base

[blazing fossil]

Cookie break

[opaque tide]

i spend 2h for nothing ahah

because i did the black hole quest before ...

[blazing fossil]

Generally if you’re travelling for more than 15 minutes something is wrong

[opaque tide]

i doesnt know

thanks for your advice

[wanton frigate]

yeah I did that last Expedition, without realising I was on the other side of the galaxy from the rendezvous because of a Black Hole, took 15 jumps for me to cop on.

[ancient bough]

can you transfer units, nanites and quicksilver from expedition to main save once you're done?

[elder yarrow]

yes

[balmy bloom]

does someone remember the name of system with bubbles

near starting system

[elder yarrow]

the bubble bath system?

[remote thunder]

@balmy bloom get your indium drive, install it, focus on red star systems -type !faq-starcolor in #bot-spam for more info, look for planets with gold on resource list

[novel terrace]

question: what's the soundtrack that plays after completing the blackhole mission? looking for it on youtube but can't find it

[remote thunder]

i'll check it later, if someone doesn't get to you first

need to take a break soon

[cosmic shuttle]

I keep going through the black hole instead of entering it...any idea why?
I tried warping to another system and come back.

[remote thunder]

too close to the core (iirc, about 10k or so out will do that, till you get to the ones around the core, 3.5K or so away)

return to expedition route

[balmy bloom]

why always so mystical answer

there is bubble exotic planet in expedition route

[remote thunder]

is there? i missed it then

sorry, didn't mean it on purpose, was just trying to help the best i knew

short of me ending my 3rd run, and getting coordinates

[cosmic shuttle]

But I'm nowhere near the core, I'm.at the closest black hole from the expedition phase 2 systems..

[remote thunder]

no idea then - i never had such an experience when far out from the core

save+restart game, disable mp maybe idk

[cosmic shuttle]

Went a few Ly away, took another black hole and it worked.

The one I was at had lots of players around it

[ashen shore]

I cant join my friends , says connection to host lost or failed to join lobby

[blazing fossil]

Is one on the expedition mode and the other not?

[remote thunder]

@ashen shore this is a topic for #nms-questions , moving

[maiden pond]

where is the shared inventory for the expedition at

[blazing fossil]

1. It’s not really a shared inventory
2. The anomaly

[chrome garnet]

Expedition Terminal at the Anomaly

[remote thunder]

check pinned posts for more info, if you're on mobile type !faq-pinsmobile in #bot-spam

[blazing fossil]

You send items at the start
You return items at the ends

[hasty venture]

do you need a freighter to get the pirate one?

[blazing fossil]

Anyone know of any exotic planets near the expedition route

[supple blaze]

Any updates on the optional milestones?

[blazing fossil]

Not done

[supple blaze]

Cheers

[naive prism]

do we have a biscuit receipe pinned somewhere?

[supple blaze]

Hephaloid wheat and sweetroot. Process each ingredient once separately then combine them to make dough. Mix with another processed ingredient to make an unspecified biscuit

[blazing fossil]

If you have nipnip you can make edibles

[supple blaze]

What they said

[frail hound]

to complete the expedition i have to finish this quest right?

[naive prism]

the simple biscuit isn't good enough?

[supple blaze]

It probably is actually. I can make the adjustment to the recipe, thanks for pointing it out!

[meager scroll]

You need to mix the dough with another ingridient in 2nd slot

I made one with fire water and it completed the milestone for me

[hollow shore]

Needs to have some flavour. Any additional ingredient it accepts for a recipe

[supple blaze]

THATS the kicker

[naive prism]

because i just made the simple biscuit but it doesn't complete the milestone

[meager scroll]

No it wont

[naive prism]

ack

[supple blaze]

I was Right!

It’s ok

[meager scroll]

Need to have some spice to it

[supple blaze]

Just use something you already have

[naive prism]

pff, sugar and flour is good enough, we're not in murrica

[supple blaze]

You can use flour even

[naive prism]

lol

[supple blaze]

I’m working on a finalized recipe for people to call back to as well. It’ll be a lot nicer and palatable

[maiden pond]

why cant i enter the atlas interface

[astral badge]

my expedition save on PS5 is crashing on loading....

[hollow shore]

Save and try restarting the game?

[hollow shore]

Do you have Multiplayer enabled?

[astral badge]

I'll try disabling it

that fixed it thanks

[supple blaze]

Jared Leto’s Biscuit Recipe

1 Heptaploid Wheat
1 Sweetroot
1 Extra Ingredient [Baker’s Choice]

Step 1: Process each ingredient separately to get 3 processed ingredients - Refined Flour, Processed Sugar, et cetera.

Step 2: Combine the Refined Flour and Processed Sugar to get your Sugar Dough.

Step 3: Mix that Sugar Dough in with your final processed ingredient to get your biscuit!

Note: You can take a lot of liberties with that final ingredient. Add Salt to make a Salty Cruncher, or maybe use that leftover Heptaploid Wheat to make a Healthy Wheatblock! And you didn’t hear it from me, but you can make quite a relaxing treat if you sprinkle in some NipNip…

Happy Baking!

There we go, feel free to push this to whomever asks!

[wicked holly]

Is there an easier way to find a sunken freighter?

[cunning crescent]

How can I find this exotic Planet for Xenophil Mission. Thanks for help

[blazing fossil]

Submarine exocraft

[hollow shore]

Easier than Nomad Nautilon?

[balmy bloom]

hate that freighter mission

[blazing fossil]

I want one too

[balmy bloom]

cant find shit

[wicked holly]

Jus swimming takes forever

[blazing fossil]

Nomad is one of the ground ones?

[hollow shore]

Ah, my bad, Nautilon

[balmy bloom]

yeah cant find nothing

cant even land on starting system water planet

[wicked holly]

I've been searching for a sunken freighter since last night

Yet to find one

[hollow shore]

Get yourself the Nautilon into the water, use the scanner it has to search for a sunken Freighter

[supple blaze]

For the Exotic Fauna, I would recommend traveling to Red Star systems, as they have a higher chance of having an exotic planet. You also need Cadmium for a memory, so it’s a win win!

[wicked holly]

The sonar thing?

[supple blaze]

Yep!

[wicked holly]

Alr thanks guys

[balmy bloom]

finally found one

[supple blaze]

Congrats!

[balmy bloom]

starting system, planet nahut gamma

there is base named sukhu base nearby

[cosmic shuttle]

I scanned like 20 things on the planet and the thing went up 1% 😂 guess I'll just move to phase 3.

[neon zephyr]

It appear that i can bring stuff to the expedition. But i cant think of anything usefull to bring with me. Any suggestions?

[blazing fossil]

The usual stuff

Ferrite

[neon zephyr]

i can only think of money (in form of high value stuff) and antimatter

[blazing fossil]

Chromatic

[cosmic shuttle]

Salt.

[neon zephyr]

yeah, but i can find that preety much anywhere

oh, chomatic is a good idea

[blazing fossil]

Bring a bunch of mould for nanites so you can get main save ship on exped

I’d do a few warp cores as well

Maybe a few refiners for duping if you want

[neon zephyr]

thanks

and as for tech?

[blazing fossil]

Any tech you want really

[glass stump]

OK, j ust going to get started with this expedition . Haven't read much, bbut thought I saw where this will allow you to bring some items along. Anything I need from my main save to start?

[blazing fossil]

Nothing you need

But some general survival stuff is helpful so you don’t have to grind as much

[neon zephyr]

i mean, if i can bring my ship and multitool with me i dont really have a need for extra texh

[neon zephyr]

yeah, true

[glass stump]

OK, so how does that work, or is it best just to start. ANd does my money and nanites come with me?

[neon zephyr]

wait, upgrades and stuff are transfered?

you can bring money and nanites in form of items

money with high value stuff and nanites with mould

With 150 hours i almost feel like i still dont know how to play XD

This game has too much stuff

but i love it

[crimson rose]

A stack of TaintedMetal and a couple AIValves would be pretty useful

[neon zephyr]

yeah, true, thats a better option

but tainted metal is a pain to get

[glass stump]

Is there some[place that tells how this works

[neon zephyr]

I may have to raid a derrelict

i could get both nanintes and money from there

[neon zephyr]

as far as im concerned, you can bring items and tech with you and a copy of your ship and multitool. The rest, like money, inventory, etc, i belive not

[glass stump]

@crimson rose @neon zephyr thanks

[hard fjord]

Tbf Ive finished the whole thing and all I brought with me was warp drives, jetpack upgrades, environmental resistant. Then gold, silver, some warp cores, ferrite, oxygen and carbon

[molten raptor]

Can you only transfer items to an expedition once?

[hard fjord]

Its mostly not too bad, so long as you follow the missions it gives you most everything you need

[glass stump]

How do you bring "things"
with you?

[hollow shore]

Yes, only once at the start

[neon zephyr]

yeah, most stuff is easy to get, you only save time

[hard fjord]

In the anomaly station behind the quicksilver there is a terminal that lets you take stuff with you before starting the expedition

[spice locust]

Are black holes bugged in the expedition?

[glass stump]

Thanks kind travler

[hollow shore]

Only available when you start with an existing save and visit the Expedition Terminus on the Anomaly to start from there

[hard fjord]

Not that Im aware of, I had no issues

[hard fjord]

No problem fellow traveller

[hollow shore]

Also check the pin in this channel with a lot of good info

[neon zephyr]

oh, didnt notice that, thanks

[spice locust]

I just fly right through it like it's a graphic as opposed to something interactable. I'll try restarting and see if it fixes it.

[hard fjord]

Huh, thats an odd issue. I run it on steam so that may be the difference since you use xbox?

[spice locust]

Possibly. Wait, if you are out of hyperdrive fuel does the blackhole not warp you?

[cosmic shuttle]

It should.

[hard fjord]

I have no idea, Ive never tried. That might be it? I doubt it tho

[neon zephyr]

i want to bring some frinds with me. How is this expeditions for new players? its supposed to be designed for that

[cosmic shuttle]

I resolved it by going to another black hole. I had the same issue.

[hollow shore]

Could be multiplayer related? Often making sure it is disabled, solves issues.

[spice locust]

Ok, I'll try that then. Thanks.

[cosmic shuttle]

Too many peeps to the one you're sent if you follow the expedition path.

[molten raptor]

I bought the utopia speeder from the terminal but it won’t let me switch ships

To clarify, I got it from the quicksilver guy

[low jackal]

quick menu doesn't work?

[molten raptor]

I just realized I never completed the transaction bc I don’t have nanites. I forgot to bring mold with me 😅😡

[low jackal]

lmao

[hard fjord]

yeah I did that aswell

[neon zephyr]

you cant summon it in a planet?

[hard fjord]

Couldnt bring my main ship because didnt have nanites

[low jackal]

just sell the upgrades they give you

[molten raptor]

I need to find a planet with mold then duplicate the heck out of it haha

[lean tangle]

Has anyone happen to have put together a list of the resources you burn through in this expedition? Would be nice to just have a list of things I need to keep an eye out for as I go...

[hard fjord]

You need fungal mould and cactus to make liquid explosives. Cadmium, pugneum for memories (cant remember other materials) and then its mostly common materials like ferrite, sodium + nitrate, carbon, oxygen. Salt, crystaline sulfide for Nautilus.

[tawny fox]

i remember your name from blender server

[lean tangle]

Yep, that's me.

[hard fjord]

The whole expedition took me about 2-3hours to do and the only thing I brought with that you'd have to craft is the Indium drive for visiting the blue star system

[neon zephyr]

oh yeah, the indium drive !!

[lean tangle]

thanks much

[neon zephyr]

i will craft it and bring it as tech

[lean tangle]

oh yeah wheat + flavor for cookies

[neon zephyr]

cookies? they make you cook cookies?

lol

[hard fjord]

Yes and that, I found them fairly easily so forgot to include them

[lean tangle]

yeah that stuff is easy to find

[neon zephyr]

yeah

[lean tangle]

for some reason i was thinking the list of resources was more complicated than it really is

[hard fjord]

Its really not, it gives you most of what you need when you complete each challenge in the expeditions

For example, it gives you the cadmium drive for one of them, and you need cadmium for one of the memories so you just get enough for the indium drive while there

[neon zephyr]

is embarrasing how long it took me to realize that the chromatic metals are on their corresponding star XD

[hard fjord]

It gives you 60+ tech to get any blueprints you need aswell

[neon zephyr]

oh wow

[hard fjord]

It took me ages aswell, I played it when it first came out going to whatever star you wanted, then stopped for a while and was so confused how to get indium from the blue stars

[neon zephyr]

yeah

[deft lichen]

if i end the expedition i won't get the results of the comunity research will i?

[hard fjord]

I dont think so

Its why I havent ended mine yet despite wanted the materials

[deft lichen]

yeaaah thats what i thought. i'll leave it for now then :3

[modern willow]

Just finished it but haven't claimed the last reward, if I claim the ship on the primary part on my save but not the Expedition one, will the Expedition save still not be finished? I want to keep it around till the community things are done :D

[hard fjord]

I dont think it lets you claim it on the primary one, I swapped back and it doesnt let you access the rewards

I imagine it only lets you access the claimed rewards AFTER you end the expedition

[stable furnace]

hello can u help me please?
what are the best things to bring with me to this expedition?

[modern willow]

Huh weird, they're showing up in the Quicksilver thing but I definitely haven't claimed it on the Expedition part yet

[hard fjord]

@stable furnace

[cerulean lichen]

still no expedition on ps4

[stable furnace]

oh i didnt see it
thank you so much

[hard fjord]

I imagine the helmet, jetpack etc will because its incase you forget to claim them

[hard fjord]

no problem Traveller 🫡

[modern willow]

The ship is there as well

[frigid parrot]

The expedition doesn't end if you claim the sjip

Ship

[hard fjord]

It wont end till you go to the terminal and end it

[frigid parrot]

what terminal

[hard fjord]

In the anomaly

Behind the quicksilver terminal

[deft lichen]

the terminal on the anomaly that you use to send materials to yourself on the expedition

[hard fjord]

Its there if you use an existing save to start the expedition

[modern willow]

Ohh so I could claim it on both and it won't actually end? Sweet :D

[frigid parrot]

I didn't use a save

fair fair

[hard fjord]

Then you might not have one

[lucid grove]

so im on the second expedition milestone now (Homecoming) and i’ve placed everything the game has given me yet it won’t complete

[hard fjord]

It doesnt tell you to place anything else?

[lucid grove]

as in highlits in the build menu? Nope

[hard fjord]

Does it say anything in the mission log for it?

[stable furnace]

if I get pirate Freighter, can I transfer it to the main account?

[hard fjord]

Cause I had no issues when I did it last night

Have you gone to the anomaly and seen if theres any things you need to unlock before placing

[maiden pond]

are frost bound and frozen planets the same

[lucid grove]

my friend that im playing with (not in the same instance) just built whatever the game gave him and it completed

[hard fjord]

restart game?

[lucid grove]

already tried

[hard fjord]

maybe delete some of the newly placed base parts

[lucid grove]

wdym?

oh

already did that too

[stable furnace]

?

[hard fjord]

Im not sure then, I had the same thing as your friend where I just built what it said and it completed

[lucid grove]

uh

[hard fjord]

I dont believe so, this is the first expedition where you can transfer stuff but I dont think you can with a freighter

[hard fjord]

huh

[lucid grove]

if you can’t tell, i think its completely fucked

[hard fjord]

couldnt have guessed that

[languid nebula]

Can I always change between expedition and my original safe ? Or do I have to finish the expedition before I can play my normal safe again?

[deft lichen]

hm. i must has misread the patch notes. i thought this reward ship could hover...

[hollow shore]

You can switch back to primary from the Options menu

[hard fjord]

If you started the expedition from your save then you go back to the expedition terminal then you can swap to the primary save

[hard fjord]

thats what it says, does it not do that?

[cosmic shuttle]

It has no thruster, the landed animation is hovering. Just visual.

[languid nebula]

Okey thank you

[languid nebula]

Thank you

[deft lichen]

ah. just visual. damn

[hard fjord]

thats kinda nnoying

Is it that it doesnt have a launch thruster or what?

[deft lichen]

yeah... i was really excited to get a ship that could hover in place

yeah its just that it has no visible thrusters and a special animation

[hard fjord]

oh

[deft lichen]

:(

[hollow shore]

@lucid grove Did you interact with the Base Computer to receive additional building Blueprints?

[hard fjord]

I mean, for a free ship its still pretty good stats wise, and then has a cool animation

I guess its not the worst thing

[deft lichen]

yeah it looks pretty neat

unique enough. better than the golden vector, at least.

[hard fjord]

yeah

[deft lichen]

i'll probably stick with my ship though

[hard fjord]

Yeah Ill probably stick with my sentinal ship too

Nice ship to have in the hangar tho

Maybe use it as a jump ship

[deft lichen]

mines a pretty generic looking ship tbh, not even a sentinel ship

[hard fjord]

I grinded for mine lmao, before they added the new echo locator thingy that gives you a location that just finds the ships for you

Had to kill 3 of those sentinal freighters before I got my A class

[deft lichen]

im garbage and dunno how to farm for cool freighters and stuff

i have like a b class, i think

[austere meteor]

Only difference is like extra slots and jump range from c-s

I think dreadnoughts are just different looking lol

[hard fjord]

dont get me wrong, I have no idea how to farm properly. Literally just got lucky mostly.

[deft lichen]

yeah i just have some gross camo green B-class thing

[hard fjord]

Maybe dreadnoughts have different weapons too? If you get their exact freighter

[deft lichen]

with a vertical sail RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HANGAR PORTS so you immediately crash and get stuck as soon as you take off lmfao

[hard fjord]

lmaoo

[cosmic shuttle]

Do desolate planet not count as airless ?

[hard fjord]

No, you need to find low atmosphere

[fluid frost]

been awhile , to start new expedition i just start new save?

[hard fjord]

not now

You can start this expedition from your current save in the anomaly behind the quicksilver terminal

[hard fjord]

@fluid frost this is a rough list of things to look out for or take if you want it

[hard fjord]

This is my ship with my freighter in my primary

[blazing fossil]

“Ewards”

[fluid frost]

Do i have to turn on multiplayer?

to start

[hard fjord]

no

[fluid frost]

Ok thank you

[deft lichen]

looking it up i have the smallest type of sentinel freighter

[fluid frost]

hmm , not sure what im looking for , do i speak to polo?

[deft lichen]

no there's a console behind the nexus, under the balcony to nada and polo's room

or there should be. if you're on switch i dont think the new expedition is out yet

[blazing fossil]

Yeah

I just beat it

I’m on switch

[deft lichen]

oh my bad

[hard fjord]

You have a sentinel freighter? Or just the same type of freighter?

[naive prism]

not to boast (actually, exactly that), this is my expedition freighter:

first one i encountered :)

[hard fjord]

fuuuuuuck youuuuuuuuu

[elder yarrow]

did you save it from itself?

[naive prism]

basically

[deft lichen]

i have the small "sentinel" style one from this image #nms-legacy-ships message

[naive prism]

it was that or the scrap heap

[hard fjord]

I am very not jealous

[naive prism]

lol

i forgot to recruit the frigates that come with it though

[hard fjord]

ahh gotcha

[naive prism]

that would have been fun

[hard fjord]

ah damn

[naive prism]

i did encounter a little bug in the process though,

[elder yarrow]

... a sentinel spy?

[naive prism]

after seizing the freighter from the captain, they continued firing on the other freigher :D

and the ship cannons kept firing at me when i departed

[frosty spire]

Where do i find the stuff for this liquid bomb?

[hard fjord]

This is my freighter (cant see all of it) with most of my frigates

[naive prism]

anomaly receipes,

[hard fjord]

Its cactus flesh, usually on hotter planets, and fungal mould which is usually toxic planets

[naive prism]

but also scout through crashed freighters, in my case 1 freighter site gave me both components

[frosty spire]

Hot and toxic got it thnx

[naive prism]

that one also looks almighty beautiful

i have a maxed out one on my main save

love the purple trail btw

[hard fjord]

why thank you good sir, this save has 53hrs atm

[deft lichen]

just like my ex! (badum tiss)

[frosty spire]

Oh ok good to know thnx

[naive prism]

i was about to start looking for the plants when i got the components and was like "nono, i'm not complaining at all"

[hard fjord]

I think this is probably the best photo Ill get of my fleet

Also only the B class freighter, wanna get an S class eventually

[cerulean olive]

My current fleet

[spice topaz]

How tf do I complete the missions that require photographs

I'm on ps5

How do I do it

[delicate magnet]

You have to take an actual screenshot in camera mode

You go into you quick menu and all the way to the right is how you get to camera mode

[cerulean olive]

Use the ‘share’ button

[hard fjord]

Very not jealous of that totally not badass and awesome fleet.

How much do all the pirate frigates cost?

[naive prism]

the image itself is also pretty well done. everything in there just screams "brutal"

[hard fjord]

exactly

[delicate magnet]

Does anyone have a farm base in the first rendezvous point

[naive prism]

speaking of photographs, scorced world, what specs and nicknames do they have?

[spice topaz]

I tried that and it didn't work

[cerulean olive]

Thanks!

[naive prism]

you may be on the wrong planet/biome

[delicate magnet]

@spice topaz ^^^

[naive prism]

did you post it in the nms gallery yet btw?

[spice topaz]

When it means scorch doesn't mean a hot world or does it world or a desert world

[hard fjord]

these are some

[cerulean olive]

I really can’t remember, but there are millions in there. I also have 15 living frigates, which are quite expensive too.

[delicate magnet]

If your trying to do “grand tour” there is a scorched planet in the same solar system as the second rendezvous site

[cerulean olive]

Just did. Lol

[delicate magnet]

I’m sorry second site*

[hard fjord]

I have about 281 million rn, and If i sell some stuff I can easily get another 100+ million

[hasty venture]

Alright so the pirate freighter is constantly being a C class...

[hard fjord]

Is that all it can be?

[cerulean olive]

I'm sitting on 3,7bln now 👀

[hard fjord]

How many hours? Ive restarted maybe 7 times lmao cause my saves kept corrupting

[naive prism]

#nms-expedition message

[hard fjord]

Currently only have 53hrs

[naive prism]

.... but did you try it in permadeath yet?

[cerulean olive]

1500+ 🫣

[hard fjord]

hmmmm i think thats why

[hasty venture]

Guess I am unlucky

[hard fjord]

guess Im gonna have to grind sentinel ships for the next 100 hour selling at 20+mill each

[valid linden]

nice bug

[hollow shore]

@cerulean olive Are you on PS5?

[hasty venture]

Holy crap what is my RNG

ALL I GET IS C CLASSES

[slim oxide]

Your only choice now is to keep gambling past the bad rolls kek

[bold atlas]

I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself (someone named the Blackhole system Poland and as a Pole I needed to do it)

[slim oxide]

Distance helps too iirc

[crimson rose]

That's the Game judging you

[spice topaz]

Thanks for the help this community is the best

[hasty venture]

unless me defeating it once before saving locked it at C

might be the case

then RNG it is

[cerulean olive]

Yup!

[naive prism]

odd, i visited 2 blue systems already and it still didn't give me the milestone...

but without the indium drive i can't go there

[hard fjord]

land on a planet?

Thats what I did

[hollow shore]

Ah great, so you can confirm that using the share button works for the photo mission, right?
Is that from within the Photo Mode through quick menu?

[hard fjord]

Oh I didnt share my photos, I just took the photo (on steam)

[hollow shore]

Steam works somewhat different

[cerulean olive]

it depends on how you have the 'share' button configured. Hold to snap a shot or single press.

[hollow shore]

Ok, so either works, depending on that setting, but you have to actually be in Photo Mode to do so?

[cerulean olive]

Yes, you have to be in photomode in the game.

[hollow shore]

Perfect, thank you

[ionic karma]

The staff is amazing

[cerulean olive]

I have my 'share' button configured to single press for a screenshot and hold to get the screenshot menu. You need to be in that menu to use the middle option to snap a shot. otherwise it won't register.

[hasty venture]

Patience paid off. It might not have the capacity but...

[cerulean olive]

all 3 biome planets are in the starter zone, btw

[hasty venture]

and its also hot pink

[hard fjord]

ooh

thats sick

shame they have so few slots at the get go tho

[hasty venture]

oh nyo. I cant summon my old freighter to pull out the scanner

[hard fjord]

yikes

Doesnt let you swap the scanner when you do the compare?

[hasty venture]

dunno, didnt try. Doesn't matter tho

[hard fjord]

I guess not

[cosmic shuttle]

Can I start the planet 3 research even if tier 2 is not done ? (C'mon guys let's finish tier 2

[hard fjord]

Yes

You can do it in any order I believe, it contributes regardless

[trail kraken]

I might go back to the first planet and research some more stuff

[cosmic shuttle]

You don't have to, first one is done.

We're 89% into the second.

[hasty venture]

Alright time to actually use my freighter for jumps since it can actually jump a decent distance

[lime plume]

Liquid explosive safe to sell or needed for another step?

[cerulean olive]

you can safely sell it

[cosmic shuttle]

Staff looks amazing. But SC slot seems bad

[lime plume]

Thanks. My exosuit is kinda piling up and need space, lol.

[astral badge]

the Scorched Planet "Xetebir VII" in the same system as the 2nd redezvous point isn't counting as a scorched planet for the take picture challenge on playstation!

[meager scroll]

Can you upload the screenshot of the planet info in Discovery screen?

Or a photo or whatever is possible

[astral badge]

uploading them now

[lime plume]

Make sure grand tour is active while youre doing it. I've had to take a picture twice on the ice planet cuz when I landed it switched to a spacestation mission.

[astral badge]

it is, the quest seems to recognise this planet should be, but the pictures arn't counting

[bold atlas]

question: is there any sunken freighter on the second rendevous planet?

[ember aurora]

is there a way to claim the reward ship on your own save (non-expedition)?

[wraith junco]

After you unlock it on exp save you can claim it In quicksilver vendor on anomaly on all saves

[ember aurora]

amazing ty

this thing handles like a beast

[astral badge]

looks like the planet Fleens in the same system isn't counting either alas, even though the quest thinks it should

[languid nebula]

Should I teleport back to the first system after I traveled trough a black hole for the 2 check point? Or should I travel manual to the second check point ?

[blazing fossil]

Did you land?

[blazing fossil]

Teleport

Or travel manually but it’s gonna take a few hours

[atomic estuary]

It's less about the planet and more about how you take the picture, it has to be done using in game tool not just any screenshot

[astral badge]

yes, landed

[languid nebula]

Okey thanks thats what I thought

[astral badge]

I'm using the ingame tool, and the ingame tool says to take the screenshot I use the console screenshot button

[ember aurora]

what about the Atlas Sceptre? possible to claim that too?

[blazing fossil]

Yes

All phase rewards can be claimed on any save

[atomic estuary]

#nms-expedition message

[meager scroll]

This might be of help: blue star system near RV2 system. Has 2 metallic planets for the exotic creature milestone and a Traveller on space station for the echo milestone. Both of these milestones are in phase 5

[astral badge]

will give that a try, hopefully this can be fixed on Hello Game's end too so this can be taken into account if it is the issue

[boreal violet]

Quick Q... I am doing the expedition with my main save.
If I collect a Freighter during the expedition what happens to it when I finish?

[blazing fossil]

Have you claimed all rewards?

[atomic estuary]

I assume it will be gone, only some items can be transferred
I might be wrong tho

[naive prism]

optional mapping quests

gg

[boreal violet]

So what about the pirate dreadnought that's supposed to be in it?

[ember aurora]

ah makes sense, so just patience then

[naive prism]

you can claim all other rewards and complete the expedition, though

[cosmic shuttle]

Pirates dreadnought aren't new.
Owning them is, and you can do it outside the expedition

[ember aurora]

ye i claimed them

[atomic estuary]

You can also claim a pirate dreadnought on your normal save its not expedition exclusive

[naive prism]

also, they look brutal

[boreal violet]

So I cannot claim one within expedition for main save only outside it?

[naive prism]

and since you can put your freighter base on one now too, it feels pretty much invincible

[meager scroll]

Lmao what it the Eclipse milestone

[naive prism]

you can earn them on your normal save

[meager scroll]

Half assed dialogue

[naive prism]

pretty much like rescueing a freighter after a battle

[boreal violet]

Ok tnx

[atomic estuary]

I've seen no option that would allow you to transfer your freighter to your primary save

[boreal violet]

I just thought it was part of the expedition

[naive prism]

the only difference is the dialogue that goes pretty much like "gib boat"

[astral badge]

worked thanks

[boreal violet]

That's a missed opportunity

[spice locust]

It's so crappy how players build bases on expedition sites that require editing. Get to to Rendezvous 3 where there's a buried Derelict freighter and there's a base on it so everyone else has to go find another one because no one but that one person can dig there now. 😑

[cosmic shuttle]

Wow someone claimed the Sentinel ship i was gonna get...while they were in one...

Bruh

[boreal violet]

Just report it and it dissappear for you

[boreal violet]

Turn off multiplayer when ship hunting

[cosmic shuttle]

It's an multiplayer expedtion tho, but I get it.

[boreal violet]

Yeah it's so annoying
.

[cosmic shuttle]

My main complaint isn't that they took it in front of me, it's that they were ALEAADY in a sentinel ship. Like, their milestone was done.

[meager scroll]

Aaaand that's wrapped folks

[remote thunder]

i played the entire thing solo, mp isn't a requirment

[spice locust]

I can't, it's invisible so there's no object to interact with to report

[remote thunder]

congrats FF

[cosmic shuttle]

Did I say it was tho? It has multiplayer optionals tho.

[remote thunder]

on foot quick menu, scroll all the way right, report

[boreal violet]

Hi bk201 hope you are doing good 👍

[barren torrent]

Completed the expedition. Total playtime has the funny™ number.

[remote thunder]

it's a multiplayer expedition
your words, sorry if i misunderstood

[remote thunder]

yeah, and you? 🙂

[boreal violet]

To afraid to even check mine 😆 I tend to do it slowly over a few days doing my own thing along the way

[spice locust]

Ah, gotcha. Haven't really had to report one before til now.

[boreal violet]

Good thanks

I wish they hadn't put the change mission on the left Dpad but used right direction instead...

I tend to tap left dpad to bring up the distance (in bottom left of screen) when searching.

Now I have to tap it a few times to put back

[remote thunder]

is that customizable maybe?

[meager scroll]

Integer limit standing lmao

[boreal violet]

Ooh not sure. I am on xbox

Will see

[barren torrent]

actually I also interacted with that terminal upon the expeditions completion and it still said I needed to complete the expedition first

I didn't go in with an existing save however

I made a new one

[boreal violet]

No. Will just have to get used to it 😆

[cerulean olive]

Might start the expedition tomorrow on my Switch as well. That Star runner is too nice to pass on on Switch as well.

[meager scroll]

And now Im officially finished

Still thinking it's weird that they went with Omega as expedition name

[valid linden]

What is wrong with Omega a name?

[meager scroll]

Doesn't feel like it belongs with the rest of expedition names

Cartographers, Leviathan, Singularity, etc

Words with heft, words with meaning

Meanwhile this is just: yeah, Omegalul

[fresh ice]

I have to say a bit disappointed. With this update my controller now drifts and had game crash 2 in an hour

[round panther]

i thought of it as alpha and omega. so the omega is .. the end? o0

[remote thunder]

tried resetting controller config? tried verifying game file integrity?

ask around #nms-questions for more help on that

[fresh ice]

On Xbox. Yes reset Controller, cleaned

Using xbox so file integrity I am unable to check.

[remote thunder]

xbox did get an update today; perhaps try to fully shutdown console/clean cache?

[hexed bolt]

if i buy quicksilver items on my expedition save, will the rewards carry over to my main save?

[remote thunder]

quicksilver purchases, except consumables, are unlocked account wide

meaning, available to claim once per save under that same account

[fresh ice]

Good call. I will try full reset

[hexed bolt]

getting antsy for the community rewards to unlock so i can 'complete' the expedition

[woven shadow]

Oh there’s a new expedition?

I will do it tomorrow

[ornate stag]

having trouble trying to find all creatures on spinarr kesen

its annoying

optional milestone?

[atomic estuary]

Community effort
We all contribute to unlock those rewards

[ornate stag]

great so dont have to do it

[quaint ether]

this is my first expedition, but I'm pretty sure it's a community one

[ornate stag]

thanks guys

i just saw lol

[quaint ether]

like, I didn't 100% the scanning for the first rendezvous and it was fine.

[scarlet slate]

What happens to all the nanite and credits we have on our exploration save after we finished it ?

[trail kraken]

if noone does it then we don't get it

all you have to do is scan a few plants

[hexed bolt]

I'm curious too! But im waiting to 'end' till we hopefully get the community rewards

[scarlet slate]

I still haven't finished the exploration, im just curious s:

[quaint ether]

I'm making sure not to invest too heavily. Get through it, find the good stuff to move back to main, but save farming for main.

I'm still investing too heavily though, I gotta keep reminding myself.

[scarlet slate]

Im gonna sleep so feel free to @ me if you answer to this

[remote thunder]

before starting expedition/earnings/reward screen/after (this was on steam experimental test runs)

[hexed bolt]

Saw a streamer and their rendevous 2 unlocked, but mine didnt

[remote thunder]

try to save+reload from main menu

[hoary elk]

uhm.. i just started the new expedition on my main save
is my stuff now gone? like ships/ multitools?

[supple radish]

until you finish the expedition, yes

[remote thunder]

it's not gone

[hoary elk]

oh okay, thought it was gone forever lol

[quaint ether]

it's parallel paths. I think you can get back to your save in the menus, or once you get to anomaly.

[remote thunder]

you can return to primary save at any time

[hoary elk]

alrighty then
thanks y'all and have a great life <3

[remote thunder]

through options tab, for example

look for planets with gold on resource list

[unkempt trail]

is there any point to thinking long-term in expedition, e.g. getting a good freighter

[remote thunder]

only if started as new save, and you intend on keeping the save for play post conversion

[ornate stag]

anyone good any good suggestions how i do this one?

[quaint ether]

I found some randomly in a crashed freighter. Otherwise, pirate stations.

[unkempt trail]

thank you

[remote thunder]

discoveries are merged, so not unexpected; that said, focus on red star systems, someone mentioned that in one of the rdv systems there's an exotic biome aka weird planet, but they didnt say which one

[ornate stag]

ok

thanks guys really appreicate that

[ionic karma]

Been crashing every 5 minutes none stop even with multilayer off

[remote thunder]

you could also pirate random npc freighters in space in an outlaw system

[unkempt trail]

go to a pirate/outlaw station, buy black market stuff from the guy who sells things for units, teleport to your base, teleport from there to a normal station, sell the stuff at a terminal

[hexed bolt]

Still not showing 2nd milestone hmm

[remote thunder]

try clearing console cache (turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely. unplug the console's power cable. wait 10 seconds. plug power cable back in, press xbox button on console to turn back on)

[quaint ether]

I made sure to do a windows update. This game seems ridiculously sensitive to it.

[remote thunder]

2nd milestone?

[ornate stag]

lol guys just picked this up

[quaint ether]

yup, just sell them off, easy peasy

[ornate stag]

from a frieghter too

[remote thunder]

not a bad idea to bring some over from the primary save for this milestone, allows skipping finding an outlaw system entirely

[spice locust]

It used to be you got the hyaline brain from the interceptor you find, no? How else do you get one? Says raise my wanted level in space. got it to max but no hyaline brain.

[quaint ether]

you get the fried brain, activate it in cargo, it takes you to a monolith to convert it

[hexed bolt]

The 2nd community milestone isnt working for me still, tried reloading

[remote thunder]

you get hya brain from the crashed sentinel ship - once you have 3 shards, 1 inv mirror and sentinel salvage site mission selected in Log tab, you'll cursor over the brain in inventory and prob subcon

do you have mp enabled, was there another player base nearby

if the repair&claim process didn't go as normal, then one or both the above happened

[spice locust]

That's the problem, no brain came from it.

[spice locust]

Mp is off.

[remote thunder]

clearly something's wrong - and most likely an uploaded player base nearby

[spice locust]

I think so. 😑

[remote thunder]

i had no issues claiming an interceptor on the 3 runs i did

[quaint ether]

on mine, I saw the wreck on approach, once I got close and there was a player base there the wreck despawned. I jumped out of my ship to save, then reloaded, and it showed back up.

[remote thunder]

i'd suggest aborting whatever process you've got going on now - if you still have a location for a sentinel ship site goto it, save+reload from main menu, but as you load in, unplug network cable

[remote thunder]

well, not sure

server-side

pause,discoveries tab, lower left, is the connection to online discovery services active for you?

[hexed bolt]

wow just got 4k nanites uploading

[remote thunder]

then, with strictly just playing the game, idk how they have it complete and you don't

[remote thunder]

sometimes i forget uploading my discoveries after 2, 3 months of playing a bit everyday. when i upload them, it's not uncommon to get 30k+ nanites from that alone. also remember that zoology has an additional button to press for the extra nanite reward if all fauna on planet has been discovered, and that helios @ space anomaly can also give pretty big bounties after hours of play (depends on what you do with that time/what you focus on ofc)

[hexed bolt]

Dont think ive ever pushed that 4/4 button

or ?/?

ive discovered so many planets it would take hours to go through them all lol

[frosty otter]

I think there’s a collect all button somewhere

[hexed bolt]

been searching for that elusive green grass / blue sky planet that I discovered first, that is also peaceful

and doesnt have some crazy harsh shader

[remote thunder]

not for this extra nanite bonus reward per planet though

there's indeed an upload all button in discoveries tab, an Up arrow icon rightof the discoveries vert scroll bar - that misses waypoints and extra nanite reward claims

the one that has gold on the resource list

[spring wind]

Which of the two options do I pick?

[remote thunder]

go over each phase, each optional milestone reward - do you want any of those?

[spring wind]

I mean the companions are neat, but they'e not something i wanna wait on to play

so nope

[remote thunder]

you can simply return to primary save if you wanted to leave that possibility on the table, or just end it (if you already took care of your stash/stuff you want to bring back to primary)

[spring wind]

How do I choose what i wanna bring back?

[remote thunder]

interacting with the expedition terminus in the anomaly

same way you brought stuff from the primary save, if you did

[spring wind]

Ah i see, i need to end expedition first. Thanks!

[remote thunder]

that works a little different okay, good to know, thanks, i'll have to test that out this weekend to see for myself

[spice topaz]

Guys

Just finished the expedition

I wanna end it and get all the stuff I put into the expedition out

But I also want the rewards from the optional community objectives

If I end the expedition in my main saves space a normal determinal. Will I not be allowed to go back in access those rewards?

[remote thunder]

But I also want the rewards from the optional community objectives
then you'd have to do return to primary save here; the phase and final exp rewards have already been unlocked account wide when you claimed them

[spice topaz]

So if I end the expedition ill have the ability to come back?

[remote thunder]

no

you end it, you end it

[ember flicker]

best to just wait it out

[remote thunder]

if you return to primary save, you can reinteract with the terminus again to resume expedition

[spice topaz]

That's what I'll do then thx

Oh and also

How the hell does hello games Find all of the absolutely beautiful planets they do for the expedition

Mainly the starting planet and all the planets for the rendezvous (exept five)

[remote thunder]

they're the devs - they probably just have some UI interface to the engine, click a few boxes here and there - find me a planet that looks like this - or even stronger, find undiscovered planets, modify their seed a bit to make it look like what they want

[cerulean olive]

Optional Milestone Phase 2 has completed.

[deft creek]

When you remember at the last second that
Hitting an orbital space station costs money

It happend while i was in the expedition :P

Uhhhh -.-
Its for the interceptor isnt it

[ornate stag]

was that the floating blue brain..

[deft creek]

Ye

[ornate stag]

ooh what do you do

i passed it

:(

i knew it was important...

[deft creek]

I forgot how you get it honeslty qwq

-.-
Lemme check the wiki

Ohhhhh

Sh-

Ya gotta destroy a Capital Sentinel Ship

[remote thunder]

you get one from a sentinel crashed ship when purging it

[deft creek]

If ya destroyed one ya should get the brain and the locator for the interceptor...unfortunately i just realized that i got the locator from an expedition milestone so i STILL GOTTA KILL A CAPITAL SHIP QWQ

[remote thunder]

if you destroy a sentinel freighter you get a carrier ai frag, using it marks a sentinel ship site - destroying sentinel small ships is what can drop hya brains, but that's useless since you're going to get a hya brain from the crashed ship itself, and having multiple brains in the same inventory can even cause issues with the repair&claim process

[deft creek]

Oop

...so i dont have to destroy one
Yipee

:D

[remote thunder]

there's a milestone that rewards a carrier ai frag; you won't even have to go anywhere near a sentinel freighter or a space police ship if you don't want to

[runic roost]

Is it possible to transfer items between any saves with the new update? Or is it exclusively only shared to the current expedition save?

[remote thunder]

this is only possible to expedition runs that were started from existing saves

and between the two, at specific points - before starting, and on completion

(more info in this post #nms-expedition message )

[runic roost]

Well that’s a bummer. I thought I could finally get my storage augmentations from my ancient, abandoned expedition saves to my main save

[remote thunder]

not aware of all the parameters, but at this point, those will convert to normal/survival saves, you'd be able to pass them to another player to hold while you reload to a diff save

[runic roost]

Yes. I know. I’ve thought about asking someone to do this with me. I mean I would have the two consoles, but I only have a single physical No Man’s Sky Disc so… And considering all the stuff I wanna transfer, I would just rob the other persons precious lifetime

[remote thunder]

i see, well, could ask different persons too - politely do so, and eventually you should have it all back on your desired saves

[runic roost]

Might have to consider buying the game digitally at some point

[remote thunder]

interact with the sentinel ship

take the brain out, store it in inventory

[runic roost]

I might… I might. Grinding people’s time xD Thanks as always for helping bk!

[deft creek]

And then follow the steps that it gives u (the steps should be in the items description when u hover your miuse over it iirc)

[remote thunder]

the mission hint lower right of the HUD will also assist

make sure right mission is selected i.e sentinel salvage site

so in short, if you're going to get a sentinel ship, then you're bringing with you

the rest comes from the ship itself

hya brain, prob subconscious -> monolith -> get harmonic brain -> return to ship

[lime plume]

That last planet is a doozy.

[median bough]

Are there cool things from the expedition I can bring back to my main save? Like a good multitool or rare materials or anything? My main save is pretty new, so that'd be nice for me!

[remote thunder]

nothing you can't get in your main save later, but yeah, whatever you want to bring back, can even package tech or modules you acquired during expedition, could even make a clone of your last equipped exp ship and MT once you're back on the primary save

[median bough]

I guess I meant since it's a static planet, there might be static loot too right? If there's a high rank multitool, I'd love to get for my main save. I have the other expedition ship so I'm basically good there

[fair turret]

hey so im having an issue with the photograph quest, I press X but there is not a take picture button

there is one on my main save though, any idea?

[quaint ether]

scroll up to the camera

[fair turret]

what do you mean scroll up?

[quaint ether]

on pc, when you hit x, it opens up a menu thing on the bottom of the screen that you navigate with the scroll wheel.

one of the options is a camera/photo mode

[fair turret]

yes I know where the button is, its just simply not there for the omega expedition

[lime plume]

Does the quicksilver at least carry over?

[quaint ether]

some things don't unlock until you hit certain milestones. I wonder if that's one of them.

[quaint ether]

looks like all the currencies carry over. Inventory you can transfer over. Ships and stuff, I'm not sure of.

[fair turret]

it could be, oh well I guess ill save it for later thanks

[remote thunder]

If configured to single press for a screenshot and hold to get the screenshot menu. You need to be in that menu to use the middle option to snap a shot. otherwise it won't register.

[spring wind]

You can use an option when recovering your items to copy over the ship and the multi-tool with a fee of nanites

[remote thunder]

besides that, please see #nms-expedition message

[quaint ether]

I wasn't sure if that was the configurations or the whole things.

[remote thunder]

and yes, you get to clone both ways

[fair turret]

thank you much I will try this when I get back on

[blazing talon]

Is the palate cleanser milestone bugged or something? I've created biscuits multiple times now and it won't tell me I've finished the milestone

[slender glade]

Questions about the pirate freighters... are they free?

[remote thunder]

are you playing solo, with multiplayer enabled in network settings, or with friends in a group?

[blazing talon]

Solo

[remote thunder]

i mixed sugar dough with impulse beans worked just fine

[blazing talon]

Got it, will try

[slender glade]

So the pirate dreadnoughts are not free (based on that react)... not even if it's your "first" freighter in a new save, like this expedition? Also then, how much do they cost (I imagine regular freighter prices, which are not expedition levels of units).

[remote thunder]

afaik, the script isn't set to give us the freighter for free - but it's still worth the shot to see.

[blazing talon]

Aight, it worked. Don't know why it doesn't register well smoked biscuits but whatever. Thanks

[sturdy hedge]

the pirate dreadnought isn’t bought it’s earned

[slender glade]

What does that mean (besides just finishing the freighter battle)? So then it is free?

[sturdy hedge]

you have to destroy its engines shields and cannons then it will surrender and you can claim it

[slender glade]

Interesting. So "claim" for free at that point... even if you have another freighter already? (Which I assmue trades in your current one)

[sturdy hedge]

it will replace your current freighter if you accept it

i got an s class one 3rd try

[remote thunder]

ah yeah, it surrenders no cost right

lol

[sly gate]

Anyone having connection issues during the expedition? I keep dropping out my friends lobby

[remote thunder]

nice, outlaw or t3?

[remote thunder]

yeah, other players have reported issues today, all players should try to restart games and reconnect

[sly gate]

Ah ok, probably just some weirdness from the first day of the expedition. Good to know it's not just me

[remote thunder]

steam mostly

[wraith junco]

Imo it should have damaged slots like crashed ship. You where shooting it after all.

[remote thunder]

yeah

not a bad idea 🙂

[wraith junco]

[empty gate]

If I get freighter in expedition will it mess up anything or will I still have my normal freighter when I’m done with expedition

[remote thunder]

or give it a cost, maybe captain wants some incentives

[remote thunder]

freighter in exp will do nothing to your freighter in main save

the two are completely "unaware" of each other

[empty gate]

I didn’t start exp with another save though, so it’s still my mainsave I’m on

Oh

[remote thunder]

right

primary save has one, your exp save might not even get one if you don't want to

[halcyon remnant]

ok so why do the little rat spider sentinels run away

[crystal mortar]

In case anyone is wondering, yes, you can add faecium to your biscuit dough. Also Gek Nip.

[halcyon remnant]

im trying to get the echo locator but they keep running away and lowering the alert thing

i was at level 3 and now i gotta do it all over because they run away whilst im fighting the big one

then they lose sight of me because they go for a stroll

[remote thunder]

echo locator drops from specific resonators, and there's a milestone that rewards carrier ai fragment, which leads to a sentinel ship

iow, you don't need echo locator

[wraith junco]

faecium biscuits Just got new fav thing to giveaway 😈

[crimson rose]

Try to look more intimidating

[halcyon remnant]

i got that!

it told me to go find an echo locator

like...

whats the point in giving me the thing for it

and then telling me

oh you need the other item thats needed to find these things

[remote thunder]

no, that's not what carrier ai frag does at all

[halcyon remnant]

i used the AI fragment, told me the system it was in

i go into the system

[remote thunder]

and it will have added a direct marker to a planet

[maiden pond]

is airless planet just low atmosphere or what

[halcyon remnant]

wait im dumb

yeah it did

[remote thunder]

to a sentinel ship

[halcyon remnant]

its just the stupid radiant flight milestone tricking me up

[remote thunder]

airless/dead is any planet with rusted metal on the list

[maiden pond]

alr thanks

[white marsh]

Buried Items have to be anything specific?

[maiden pond]

i need airless for expedition thing

[remote thunder]

i did it with buried caches

[maiden pond]

anything buried

[remote thunder]

there's 1 in starter system

[white marsh]

i did ancient bones and it didnt count

[remote thunder]

well buried tech module won't count afaik

[halcyon remnant]

there's an airless in the starter system, and i also think rendezvous 3

[remote thunder]

buried caches will work

[maiden pond]

thanks

[halcyon remnant]

theres an airless in rendezvous 3 system im fairly ssure

[white marsh]

ty

[remote thunder]

starter system alone can be used to complete grand tour, has all 3

[halcyon remnant]

tf?

ok

so

i found the crashed interceptor

but it just... took off?
