The uncertainty is making me wish I hadn't sent my best tech to the expedition
if only we had an ingame photo folder and option to just take screenshots ingame instead of what we go
photo-mode update when
just finished it. i think this was one of my favorite expeditions and the ultimate reward is cool as hell
?
no
I'll have a look
Planet 3: 49%
mfw a storm just appeared and cleared in like 5 seconds
Yes. planet 3 is on 49%. So its gaining it slowly and steadily
Also. I missed this boy so much I regret not taking it into my expedition
what type of tech and cargo / ship?? should i bring to the expedition?
Whatever you wish, it is not really required, just makes it easier. Some suggest to take Fungal Mould, to be able to get Nanites early on to actually get that copy of your ship and/or MT
copy of your ship? i haven't played this update at all yet btw
Perhaps something of value for easy Units as well?
Ah ok, check the Pin with Expedition Info
Two ways to start, fresh new save, without the option to take anything, or using an existing save
you need to go to an outlaw station to buy illegal goods
and sell them in a normal station
@frail hound Also be aware there is this Milestone that provides a passport, which makes getting to Outlaw easier
how exactly do I locate deep water
(Ticket to Freedom)
deep enough for the freighter milestone
Water you can see in the planet description when scanned
ah
A sunken freighter can still spawn in shallow water too
Best to use the Nautilon and its scanner (sonar)
ok
Does anyone remember what the system name was for the system that had planet haku in it for phase 3 community expedition milestone
There is a list of RV systems in the pins
Thats the one
Ok I'm figuring it out
I suggest checking a Space Station Teleporter to see if present. Always very useful to visit the Space Stations when warping on the expedition path, as it then adds those locations to the teleporter
That's the problem I was speed running

Was afraid so
Is it registered on the bases
Oh thank god
I found a space station registerd to the system
💀
That was close
I'm trying to help the community research
Rn its at 51%
did you claim phase 3 milestone 6? use carrier ai fragment, goto ship site marker
You can get rid of them if you want
aight
Only after you use them for the part they are required for
In the expedition
ok
Also I have a question myself should I stay in the expedition mode on my save until everyone finishes the community milestones
Hahaha. So I bought a ton of suspicious packs with me for nanites. Got two relics from them, which auto completed Relic Hunter. Well, that's one less thing to do.
if you want the rewards given by those optional milestones, you've got two options: 1) stay in expedition mode, assist community with research tiers 2) don't end it, return to primary save, resume expedition later to claim them and then finish (5weeks left)

I was going to copy my ship/MT, but since this exped is so generous and I got some boltcaster X mods now, I don't see the point...
@weak trench ^^
Did you start from the terminal at the anomaly?
exp12 is easily done from a new save, yep
It says the community research for planet one and two are done but I can’t claim the rewards for planet one and two
Yeah, I'm at the Anomaly now and I definitely went overboard on provisions.
Nvm I just had to exit the menu lmao
Yes
which part are you confused about?
Can i pause expedition and put items in terminal and then continue With the option "return to mainsave" in expedition terminal?
I'm confused about wether I can go back to my normal save and come back to the expedition and claim the things and take it all back to my actual safe
How do I do that
return to primary save doesn't allow you to put items in expedition terminus stash afaik
go interact with the expedition terminus
You said I have to be on my normal save to claim the rewards from the community parts
no, i didn't say that
i said that if you wanted to claim those optional milestone rewards
you either stay in expedition mode
So if you did not do it on start , you can't anymore? ( i was confused what the purpose was but now i understand it would be very usefull putting materials in for use in expedition)
or you return to primary save, and "log back on to" expedition "part of your primary save" when the tiers have completed
What is an expedition?
please see #nms-expedition message
Ah thanks
Packing a paralysis mortar next time though.
So if I want the exclusive rewards to the expedition community milestones I have to claim them in my main save if I want them in my main
correct, if you didn't put anything into the stash you can't do that now, because it's already started; you can however still synth the ship and MT you had on in your primary save when you started it
Or can I transfer everything over after i finish it
yea thats great option , 2 bad my active ship was a scrapper lol thank atlas i did have my main mt selected 🙂
is there a way to bring ship to new save?
or only way is starting from the existing one
I've seen reports that the eggs can't transfer, is that correct?
you can't claim those expedition milestone rewards if you're on your primary save atm; you need to return to expedition through terminus, then claim them. those optional milestones only reward eggs - the others are just inventory slots that get auto applied by the game (not items) and quicksilver, neither of which can be stashed
yeah
does mods also get copied
WHAAAAAT
only when starting from existing save
only tech inventories do, and ship itself ofc
technologies?
Seems useless to award them, but not let you keep them. Unless it's to tantalize new players with exclusives.
So I still won’t have any way of owning a worm😭
yes, the tech build
So basically the eggs and stuff are forever stuck in the expedition save and can not go with you
Doesn't the QS transfer when you finish, though?
i just completed phase 1 , then went to expedition terminal and switched back to primary , popup that i could claim rewards expedition and did , then switched back to expedition, seems to work
Do I get a copy of my current ship from my main save in my expedition or do I only copy from the expedition to my main save?
it might be unintended/a bug? but no, unless you started from a new save ofc, which would turn to a normal save after completion
should i start again
Man thats just sad
Wth hg
remember, i was talking about milestones, not phase and final expedition rewards, which are unlocked account wide - which is why they're already available on all your saves under that same account
So should i just complete the expedition then and not care about the eggs since I cant have them in my normal save
why? it's easily completable even from a new save
I'm going to pause the exped when I'm 99% done and wait. HG could hotfix and change it.
not really, expedition almost plays itself on inventory
you could basically complete and claim every milestone (inc most phase rewards) but 1, yeah, and hold it like that
?
So this cute little green mini dragon backpack wearing pet i justed hatched will only be in expedition?
see Morgeil's reply #nms-expedition message
yes
I'll just delay going to the last rendezvous.
I can't the link sends me to the discord website of which is broken for me
I'm going to pause the exped when I'm 99% done and wait. HG could hotfix and change it.
Ok
I'll do that
Man that sucks though
What a oversight
i often just don't claim one milestone that won't hurt me in terms of progression - rdv milestones are always some of the first to complete for me, and for example, i left the black hole one alone till after i had all rdv down
If they get enough complaints about not keeping the eggs, they could change it.
i'm going to try and test it on my 2nd run, which this time i'll be doing with my main save
perhaps something changed in regards to that knowledge
Anyone have any advice on finding cactus? every Barren classfied planet I find has 0 flora and fauna 😦
go spacestation , i got lucky with trader in space , he had bunch cactus for sale
look for planets with cactus flesh on resource list, or talk to trade outpost pilots #nms-expedition message
ty
How am I supposed to do the smuggling part? I quite literally smuggled goods and it didn't count.
Smuggled 106K worth, yet i'm at 0/120K
can't be just any goods - have to be illegal goods
Suspicious packets?
stuff that's for at the top of the contraband agent list
Yes it is
marked illegal goods
nipnip buds, first spawn relics, banned weapons, blood salt, etc
omega whats name of planet?
pause, discoveries tab, click on the system
to see the planet name
You said it before
Haku 57/Q1
You just gotta look
what's the name of the system
i.e. Okubun-Chadr
Does it save your progress on the expedition if you choose to go back to normal save
Yes
click this link, #nms-expedition message , then goto a space station teleporter. which of the systems in that link can you teleport to?
Ah that's good
I am convinced there is no cactus ¬_¬
i mean, there's planets with cactus along exp route
you can even buy it or refine it, if you got access to a 2 input refiner
it's just a matter of landing and using visor to look for echinocactus, or waiting for some pilot in a trade outpost
i basically never see space station pilots selling plants
for me only freighter or trade outpost bound pilots do, as well as space encounter pilots
you can refine echinocactus from something?
lol the station wouldnt let me doc haha
aight how the hell do I get an echo locator
I keep checking planets and all the barren class never have plants
Always make sure you go go to a space station at the RDV spots so you van go back
pyrite+o2
they have to have echinocactus plants
if it says cactus flesh on resource list that is
None of them have said it so far 😦
then you havent found a barren biome planet yet
i would suggest taking a look at this link: #nms-expedition message , then going to your discoveries list, and clicking on systems to expand one by one, and cursor over the discovered planets to find one with cactus flesh
that doesn't matter
Barren is just a synonym like Desert
for the same biome
echinocactus that drops cactus flesh is the barren biome native plant
any planet that has cactus flesh on its resource list when scanned from space for example is a barren biome planet
Yeah, but there are many descriptors that classify as Barren
Like desolated, Desert and even Barren
descriptors don't matter
they're just flavor, once you know what resources to look for
So you are saying none of these mean anything?
no..
i'm saying that abandoned, barren, bleak, desert, desolate, dusty, all the names under Barren biome, are ALL barren biome planets, are ALL going to have cactus flesh on resource list
try and memorize 50+ descriptors
or is it easier to memorize what resources you have to see on the resource list for a planet to be of a specific biome
see my point?
ig it's a new recipe, in Assisatant for No Man's Sky app only recipe for echinocactus is pyrite+cactus flesh
They wont all have it, I went to many that fall under the classification and had none. I get that not all have to have it, not all deserts have cactus on earth for example. It was just annoying because I kept finding planets I was told to find and they had none
I assumed the plant woun't show on the resource list originally which is my bad for assuming
So i landed a bunch for no reason
no, those recipes - biome mineral+o2=biome plant have existed for years
anyway, good to know for future bc i went jumping thru 10 systems before finding desert planet
"Desert" can only be a synonym for Barren biome planets, but Desolate for example can be a synonym for both Barren and Dead biome planets, that's why i said review the resources it tells you it has, "forget the synonyms"
@tawny idol not sure you caught this about refiner recipes
mix pyrite+o2 in a 2 slot refiner, you'll get cactus flesh
then
after having obtained 1 cactus flesh at least

@dry escarp ^
do only normal sentinels drop the echo locators
I did not see that thank you
it's a really low drop chance from corrupted sentinels. you don't need an echo locator to complete the claim sentinel ship milestone
i've already mentioned this i believe
the other milestone rewards you with an item that will lead straight to one
yeah but I lost it or something
just go to the space anomaly with mp enabled, look for some base that says sentinel ship expedition
smart
don't forget to note which system you're in when you summon anomaly, visit its station to be able to teleport back, probably best that its in the expedition route
do I need to come back
Optional Research Project 3 and above is a community effort right? I won't gt it done prolly until end of expedition duration?
all of them are
Wtf I just noticed the mining beam on the atless staff is also a cloaking device
And it lasts super long
But takes a while to regen
Still pretty awesome
help pls
runic lens - same mining beam tech as atlantids have, also have cloaking device built in
Do we get to keep the ship after we "end expedition"? Does anyone know
don't ask for help in 2 different channels at the same time
my astrolinguistic quest got reset on it's own
may just be the UI
you can either 1. copy it to your main save or 2. claim the ship from quicksilver store
Amazing thank you 🥰
@weak trench continue learning more words, how many you needed it said you needed, check if it completes
16
I know about the atlanted ones but I didn't know that the atless staff had it too but it seems it's more efficient than the others
then you hadn't even started yet?
okay good
59% on the community research for phase 3
Almost there
Not like it's worth anything though
💀
sad
It's pointless
Good thing all quick silver and nanites and units transfer over to main save apon finishing the expedition
and more
this is the exp progress summary,
The other expedition rewards but that's not what I'm referring to
this is what gets pushed over to account wide unlock and earnings to primary save
agreed
I haven’t been able to start the expedition yet, isn’t it currently an experimental update for everyone not on XBox? (That’s my understanding)
what do you mean by that?
Read the messages that @remote thunder sent
Above
All that stuff gets pushed over to your primary save after you complete the expedition
As long as you do the expedition on your main save via the terminal behind the Nexus
If you don't you won't get the quick silver or any of the currency transferd but all the expedition rewards will
What if you send back the “memory of the” items to your main thing
Will you be able to use them
Or haas nobody tried yet
we are gonna start the expedition does anyone wanna join
Hey, do I get a copy of my current ship from my main save in my expedition or do I only copy from the expedition to my main save?
Did anyone have a idea for phase 3 of the current expedition? Can't find the stuffy planet... It's slowly driving me insane
So I was told I can get expedition rewards, like eggs to my main account. I've accepted at least one such reward and don't see the egg anywhere in the quicksilver vendor listing
How do I get expedition rewards on my main save?
u need to start it trough ur main save
I have.
Was it before possible to "start" an expedition from the anomaly?
I just switched back through the Anomaly intefacee to do the weekend mission
It copies the ship from main to expedition not the other way around and as far as I know same goes with the item transfer
Hey I have an expedition question; whats with the named systems on the galaxy map with swirlies
Once it's in the expedition there's no taking it back
Never seen that before
u can transfer items back from the anomaly
And my living ship is making travel sweet as hell. It's nice bringing it alot
Along*
question: do the 'Optional' milestones in the expedition unlock anything for other saves?
Also, I did the weekend QS before I started and noticed that you can apparently do it again in the expedition, even from your main. Play it smart and you can make bank on QS probably.
Is there a reason why after atlas I can't actually get into my ship? Known bug?
This is during expedition btw
1000iq
Never had that problem
Still can't enter my ship
No I was, it transported ke on foot planetside to make the memory
And I can't enter my ship now
Hmm reset restore point
I cantm that's blacked out too
If you got out of your ship at the atless before it
Of course, you gotta get out of your ship to interact with atlas
Closed and restarted
How do I get expedition quest rewards to my main save? (started expedition same save) I'd like t o get the eggs on my main save
You don’t get the eggs on your main save sadly
At least not for now
I was told I can 😦
you can’t transfer the egg at the expedition terminal?
The eggs can’t be transferred
The eggs are pretty much the only thing you can’t transfer
then what’s the point
so I either lose my old pets to get expedition ones, or I miss out on the expedition ones?!
Is there any other exclusive item from the expedition that I can't otherwise get?
It's very stupid that you can't
Does anyone wants to take the time and type what resources/materials to bring to the expedition so everything goes smooth?
maybe there’s a way
if we help eachother
i can drop my eggs to you and then you drop them back to me on my main save
and i’ll do the same for you
seems if you want the eggs, find somebody that has them on the main save and will trade them
sounds good, I'm not yet done, so not yet ready for transfer 🙂
Expedition and normal are different servers
That wouldn’t work
same, but once the milestones are finished and all the eggs claimable i can message you then
🤦♂️ we can't have nice things
You can trade with someone that already has them on normal
How would they have them on normal if they are expedition-exclusive?
They’ve been available in the past
so only ppl who played back then would have them or anyone who got eggs from them
Guess I'm missing out on new pets 😦 Literally makes no sense to force a new save on people this way.
Thanks for the clafirication, though
Yeah hg needs to work on the system more
do traders sell wheat
I've never encountered one with it
Is there any other exclusive item from the expedition at least? Eggs I see as an incentive to push this new server and not much of a challenge to also make transferable like other items.
aight
Is there a point to doing the optional parts of the expedition outside the expedition save
hey guys
i did the expedition so far
what about the community research, i don't make any progress on the planet researches
That's for nexus missions
Y'know. the nexus. The big thing in the Anomaly that gives quests.
tons of the anomaly currency
if there are items other than eggs that you'd like to transfer back, then yes.
Quicksilver?
You just got to wait until others fill the meter
How do?
Same way you claim milestone rewards?
It may take several days maybe a week
You put items in the expedition interface, when you're on your expedition character.
Who knows
Could someone with the new patch check if eggs are transferable now
where can i find glass in expedition map?
It could be that it was a bug
you can buy from a small habitat (the one with the blueprint vendor)
It seems like everyone is mostly skipping the community part so if you don't like that join me and be mad at the others
Lol
Well, it's a hassle to go around and scan, yet not be able to bring back the most exclusive reward to your main save. Legit grounds to be mad
In 2 days people have done 2.5 planets
That’s not bad
Can you hatch it, wait a day and then get an egg that can be carried back?
You make it by refining silacate powder aka sand3l which comes from mining the ground with the terrain manipulator
It definitely now makes me not want to contribute, unless I see another motivating reward. People that don't know this will be so much more disappointed once they realize after more work 😄
I don't plan to experimenting, if eggs are said to not be transferable. Don't see why an offspring egg would be different
Hmmm you may be on to something

should i press "End Expedition" or "Return to Primary Save" for the optional milestones? i don't want to miss out
Return to primary
Ofc return to primary. Ending denies you further progres...
End expedition will mean you can’t go back
thanks
What are you referring to are you saying like if you want to go back to the expedition again after it is all done
If so hit return to normal save but only after you create a restore point by getting in your ship then out of it
That's what I would suggest
they get a restore point at the anomaly anyway xD
question: do the 'Optional' milestones in the expedition unlock anything for other saves?
True
The eggs don't transfer but the rest does
No egg transfer in the update
items other than eggs you can transfer via the expedition interface from the expedition character. Hopefully they edit eggs to be transferable too
yeah basically I was just wondering if I need to wait for the Optional milestones to be community-completed before completing everything including Phase 5 of the Expedition, I usually make a spare save for expeditions and then just claim items on my main save, but I didn't know if the optional milestones unlock anything claimable in my main save basically
Agreed

No reason to end expedition. Just return, play as normal, around the end you can go collect everything optional and transfer, if there's anything.
You can see the rewards, if it's worth it, but you lose nothing by not ending.
Well it's a reward item, so it may be flagged differently
I'll see if I can bring a normal egg back, but I'm not playing the expedition for a bit yet
could I ask you to tag me once you find out? That would solve the reward egg issue.
Yes, I can do that
don't you lose the 'Expedition' tab if you complete the expedition and it reverts back to a normal save?
If you return to normal game, you don't have the expedition tab.
You can pause and return to main without ending.
And can go back t o the expedition character at any time, to later collect passive quests.
I'm currently doing weekend anomaly missions on my main character, pausing the Expedition.
I'm on a different save though, I'm not doing the expedition through my main save
Ok, so you have the expedition tab as long as it is ongoing or you quit. Why would you quit, though?
I usually create a new game just for the expedition, complete it, then delete that save and claim the expedition unlocks in my main save
Can i find a sunk freighter easily in Omaga exp, I mean without building the submarine?
Idk if they transfer like that, when you have the option to do both at the same save.
if that starting system planet didnt have extreme wind events...
How do you do grand tour?
open photo mode and take screenshots on the required planets
Ok
Man there is so many new players on nms

temporarily free?
they made the game free for new players to have a demo esk experience to see if they wanna buy it
This is a very good idea of a promotion, also gives current players the impression of much more activity than what normally would be, through temporary players.
ah
it reminds me of the good old days when publishers released a demo with 3-4 maps to play and lets you f around to find out
and it's great for the experience, expeditions are in a sense short, guided games
Eggs can be given to a friend who can pass it to your main though if you really want them
after your expedition save turns into a normal one
Which wanted level do you have to be to get a Hyaline brain??
you find them on crashed sentinal ships!
Use the Carrier AI Fragment to find one!
There should be a brain in the ship, find it in your inventory and interact with it
FYI, Switch players don't have that option.
it should have the red Hyaline Brain in the ship, try with multiplayer turned off, someone may have looted and left it!
Does anyone know where I can find buried objects for the one man’s treasure mission?
can i swap out
Look for the markers on the visor
i mean unequip multitool
Anddd now it's gone
Select the milestone and the visor will take you to some.
Settings in quick menu and then go to swap multitool
Could someone please tell me where my old multi-tool was stored when I equiped the scepter? I chose to keep it instead of exchange but it isn't in my inventory or my ship
I got the brain from shooting down some other interceptors I'm pretty sure
Its using its using the target sweep but it won’t pinpoint a certain location and it always says to far to estimate a distance.
quick menu
X for quick menu
Aaah thank you
if the expedition is on a completely different server, you can't give an egg to any normal non-expedition character, though
when the expedition ends, it turns into a normal save!
a normal save with sometimes unique things to build that can be given to other players
its why I keep all my expedition saves, as many of them have something unique I can give to friends
If we do the expedition from our main save, then we have to pick if we swap the two characters out, or lose the expedition one, right?
This is the first expedition that allows one to do it via the main save, as far as I understand. This would be different from the ones before.
really? I just made a new character as I've always done, didn't know I could bring my normal save into it
We lose the expidition one i think, but you can transfer stuff
this is the reason for the expedition iterface in the anomaly. With transferring tech and items too
not eggs, which was my main point.
Just got my first dreadnought b Class
wondered what that was for, I've not finished yet and it doesn't tell you until you finish it.
Do I need a new save or what can I do?
seems like you are trying to unlock a sentinel ship that smeone already is in the process of- or abandoned. Find another such ship on that planet, they share the visual model.
oh actually
This new system is great because I have my nice ship and multi tool in my expedition so it’s really easy.
Bad idea, space station ones spawn over 10 of them and its a massacre... on you
lol blackhole has glitched out
idk my shitty C class did fine
One of them are
I’ve been seeing a lot more s class freighters since the update, did they make it less rare or am I just lucky
I just spammed shield recharge
Out of curiosity the research milestones, I assume those I only get a reward for when the community finishes it as well correct?
When i killed some more of em showed up, yet no carrier
I had to interact from a different angle because someone had left theirs in the space
How do we transfer other items back though? The interface at the anomaly doesn't accept any tech/items to be inserted from either side, once the expedition is started
and then call it down to get in
Try spawning it while you are on a planets surface it's crazy
When you end it it will
Read what the terminal says
It says exactly how it works
I wish the expedition was more of an expedition and less of: 'speedrun through all the main things to do in the game'
So I have to personally end the expedition before the official period ends? Does that not force me to choose whether to lose this new character or carry over to him?
You joking lol I literally took 7 hours to complete the game

7
Hours
I guess
I havent ended it yet
The expedition is long
ah thanks, guess that's clear
Just people's input on choices after have given me a different impression.
Did you do a bit of everything there is to do?
The point of this expedition was to introduce the game to the new players who might wanna pick it up thanks to the free weekend / trial version
Ok so there's the ship again, but there is no red thing to interact with
Ahhhhhh
That makes a lot of sense
Thank you
You can't throw too much of a complex gameplay onto new players
What are the other expeditions like?
Pretty much the same
There is this screen like thing, but nothing to interact with
Pain, suffering, mental brakedowns
You get goals
You do goals
You get rewards
You forgot the part where you wanna do a goal but the servers are down so you can;t
Thanks HG
BTW add more community research milestones in the future, we all love them and they work properly each time, right?
Am I stupid or where do you find the heart
The autophage also doesnt give me anything
No I literally completed every single milestone
Except the community ones
Are there any exclusives that are transferable? So aside from eggs? Other rewards are just resources we can easily get, so far.
At least the ones that are still in progress
Why did you ping me for this?
I did the first 2
I hope you'd have an answer? Nobody seems to answer this. Sorry to disturb
I replied to you that's not the same I would @ you if I pinged you lol
there's the atlas headshield and a backpack
wait why didn't my tools got damaged
and the atlas sceptre multitool
after going through blackhole
and a starship
You will actually not be able to transfer back the eggs, nor any other Expedition mission critical items
eggs I know, but backpack/headshield/sceptre too?!?
Not sure if you have seen the Expedition Info, pinned in this channel, just a reminder.
they get unlocked account wide
Those are expedition rewards, unlocks globally
Not talking to you
Talking to the guy above you
well, that's obviously false in the pinned message, as eggs are an expedition reward that is not transferable
@wild cobalt If you do actually start with an existing save, you will be able to keep the Sceptre if you wish. Basically the same way at the end when finishing up, allows to transfer then active MT and Ship back at a cost of Nanites
There’s a difference between phase rewards and milestone rewards
Omega, I also replied, just to be clear 😄
The eggs are milestone rewards
The other stuff you mentioned is phase rewards
ah that's relieving. Thanks
i can't wait for the community to do the last 3 optional milestones
i know it's hard to tell but i really love new companions
It mentions it here. But if this is not described well, I am open to suggestions to have changes made
I have no idea what mission critical items are and can easily mix up phases to milestones to whatever else is used for the term - mission. The community mission/optional mission I wouldn't call a milestone and to me it doesn't stand out, with the way it is presented in-game xD
that can be just me, though.
What about: Items and Tech unique to the Expedition
As for 'mission critical', I am not too sure either, especially to keep the wording general enough to fit future expeditions too
Ah, that I get easily, like the dreams-items 🙂
Still some room there though, especially for new players
Ah yes, I used the wording as found in-game
You said you finished the game in 7 hours
Not the expedition
It is all still fresh and new ... for all of us.
No look at what I replied to
Oh yeah, I refer that the in-game terminology seems artificial and easily swappable. A group of missions are called a phase, and among them there's an optional milestone, presented right along as a mission visually
I doubt many people will bother learning the terminology, given the presentation is the same. It's a mission.... 😄
i just wondered.. if i start a completely new save, not a expedition one tho just a normal save, will i still be able to get the rewards from the expeditions i've done so far or is it only for the existing saves?
Wherever you want it to be usually?
In the expedition you can get to it after you travel to a new system iirc
So, what about: Phase Rewards are unlocked globally along with a link to the image of where a phase reward would be located
The phase rewards and final rewards you have unlocked, yes
Visit the Anomaly QS vendor
That sounds very easy to read IMO.
Ah, alright
Thank you
Sorry to bother
oh cool
i'm thinking about playing the hardcore survival mode in nms, would be nice to start of with the starrunner ship for my 2nd ship lmao
QS vendor or the expedition interface next to him? I see people refer to QS vendor, but he doesn't seem to have anything related to the expedition
What happens if you make the expedition your first save and you don't have one to transfer the items to
Can you just keep playing in the expedition save?
go to the qs vendor and select the third option, the last one so to speak
Yes
This was in reply to @hoary elk for redeeming the already done expedition rewards
Nice, I lost my other save and I feel like this could be a good way to get a nice start into a new one
ah my bad, was thinking about the first. I'll do that on the main character. Thanks for clarifying
Once my expedition egg companion grows up I’ll test if it’s possible to do egg transfers from non direct reward eggs
It will convert to a Normal mode save upon completion

Hey, can you tame a sandworm? or is the expedition the only way?
should i get utopia speedster on the expedition for 1400 nanites?
Yea
The expedition is the only way unless you have mods
K
Is anybody willing to trade for a sandworm egg?
I’ve been dying to get my hands on one
how can i get an easy 1000 to 3000 nanites apart from rendezvous points?
Selling tech that isn't that good at a technology store in a space station or finding crashed ships and claiming them then taking all tech off then selling them at a tech store in any space station
You can find crashed ships by getting maps at the cartographer in a space station you want the distress signal maps
Use them until you find a crashed ship it will say destress signal
Chances are it should be abandoned
Hope that helps
Another crash to dash on Xbox at the very end of a nexus mission so zero progress achieved unless there’s a way to salvage it
Oh you also need navigational data that can be found at any camp place or outpost look for a antenna looking thing
Activate it and you will receive a navigational data
That can be used to buy maps at the cartographer
In a space station
sometimes those can be found at the tables inside a space station aswell
Ah IV have that happen to many times to count
It sucks
Yeah quite frustrating. I unlocked a step in the expedition too so I’m assuming that didn’t stay either. Shut it off to take a break lol
Is anyone else having an issue where you can’t fly into a black hole? I just coast right through it.
I think this is caused by Multiplayer. Could try to disable it in Network Settings. Could try another system as well. Or maybe warp to neighbour and back to see if it then works?
I’ll try it. Thanks!
@weak trench You mean the Atlas Sceptre?
I'm not playing rn
Anyone else on PS5 had their cosmetics revert to Locked after this Morning’s patch? (Yes, already submitted a ZenDesk about it)
yes
Oh boy
I'm not looking forward to that if it happens on switch

So far there’s no Switch patch this morning (Talked to a friend of mine a few mins ago who has it)
It is a phase reward which unlocks account wide, but you can also keep the one you got specifically. If you started a fresh save for the expedition, that's easy of course. If you started on an existing save, you could keep it when you finish for a cost of nanites. Similar to how you started
If I return to primary save does it erase progress like can I return to the expedition
You can return again as well
as long as it is still in progress of course
awesome cause i need to swap the multi tool I wanna copy
Well, if you actually started it already, that would not be possible.

So my twitch drops showed up yesterday at the quicksilver dealer, claimed todays drops now they won’t show up at dealer?
@frigid torrent You can only do this once on that save, at the start. If you have not, or used a different, it can not be changed after you started the expedition that way
Oh, were there twitch drops the for the game release which I missed?
Give it some time.
i started a new one
but not interested in the free one
Ah that's ok I'll work with it I gave myself mining upgrades anyway and I don't need to upgrade my ship copy it's basically a min maxed crazy ship
rather want s class
Well, the good news is they do seem to be unlocked on the Anomaly (IRT Cosmetics being reverted on PS5 due to this morning’s patch)
Twitch Drops campaign is active right now, at Day 2, so you have not missed much yet
isn't it day 3
Hi. I just returned back to my "regular" save after completing my expedition and my character's default look was different (different armour, the same I was wearing in the expedition) and there was stuff in my inventory missing. Is this normal or is this a bug?
Do I have to end the expedition to get my stuff back or is it gone?
if you transferred stuff from your inv with the terminal you have to transfer it back when you end afaik
Day 3 drops showing on my inventory right now
once i finish expedition can i play this world like normal ?
So you only get your stuff back if you end the expedition?
yes
Ah. It's not that much of a big deal because I have PLENTY of spare stuff in my regular save, but I just wanted to know. I really need to get used to this new expedition system 😅
I'll wait with ending the expedition because there is still the community mission
and then, only the items/resources you return are then available to be added to the Primary save. You are using the starting items you initially added after all
Ah. So you basically teleported them to your expedition character?
Like, literally?
Synthesised
@hollow shore I found out something interesting
You can't put new supplies into the terminal
But
You can swap the copy multi tool or ship

Make sure you are on the correct type of planet it asks for. Also make sure to use Photo Mode and your platform correct way to take the photos.
For names matching the biome, feel free to check !faq-biomes in #bot-spam
Oh well. Now I know what I will do next time I have an excess amount of items.
How is that?
You return to primary save then swap the multi tool you are holding
Then return

To the expedition
And that switches there too?
Yep
wow
Not sure if that's how it's supposed to be
Was not aware, but thanks for letting us know. Might be useful, no?
I doubt it
Does it work for ship too?
You can't swap if you've claimed it already though If my idea is correct
Guys should I just end the expedition, I put a variety of God roll upgrades and resources in the sub save and I need those back, but I also want the things from the optional community milestones
Ah, yes, you had only done the ship, right?
Ye
Just right before I started the expedition I sold some exosuit expansion units to a random trader in space because I had no use for them because I was already maxxed out on my normal save, but when I started the expedition I realised I should have kept them and put them in the expedition terminal and give them to my expedition self, who could have used them 🤦🏻♀️
@frigid torrent So ... I think this may actually be intentional then, in case you forgot
and only when you actually used the opportunity, is it locked in
I had like 30 exosuit expansion units. Next time I'm saving them up for future expeditions because storage is hard to come by during expeditions.
Should I just End the expedition so I can get my stuff back. And start a new one when I want the rewards for the community objectives
Is there a way to complete the research projects FAST?
It's driving me mad
Pretty pleaaaazzzz
You could, or just see if you really want those last rewards for those optional missions or not. Just be aware, you will have to finish those milestones on the new expedition you start. They are also awards you can not really keep unless you started with a fresh new save, rather than an existing save
you're aware that they're community research milestones, yes?
there's no rushing it
there's five weeks to complete expedition
Thank you lord Sean 🙏 all these crash fixes
@remote thunder yeah because right now, can't find ANYTHING to scan and I'm at 73%
go do something else
play something else
@remote thunder starting my new game right now I guess. I'm starting fresh with the new Omega ship 🚀
why did my appearance get changed after the update? i had the iteration: helios head on and the organic frigate cape, but now i have the snake eyes head and no cape? but the jetpack that is under the cape is there instead of the normal one. i tried to fix it by going back to my primary save, do my appearance again and then go back to the expedition. but it just gave me the same appearance (snake eyes) again?
Ain't that the best idea
im doing my part to the % 🍾 (struggling to find the 2 underground fauna)
anyone else have this?
Haven't played for 2 years
If the freighter I just rescued is S class, I'll keep the save after the expedition
i meant a different save/objectives
It was a B
just change your appearance after you're in expedition
submit a bug report

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
i don't have access to these items on the expedition as one is expedition rewards and the other is from the quicksilver store
but this was not a problem prior to this update
quicksilver shop unlocks are account wide, just get access to the anomaly in expedition and claim them
same for expedition rewards
where?
in the quicksilver shop
he doesn't give me the option to get them
Lot of crash fixes
claiming unlocked qs and prev expedition rewards
Can confirm, appearance got changed after changing to primary save and back also.

this is awesome
hey guys, if I finish the expedition, do I have the option to go back for the research project? Or is it finilized ?
If you click on End Expedition, you can't go back
The game even warns you that optional objectives are still available
thanks
Noice, meanwhile I got negative units due to some bug lmao
Very nice expedition btw, really enjoyed it. Phase 5 of the research project will need some work 😛
yeah its a better exped than pioneers for the new players
do you need to have the nanites on your expedition when finishing it or just nanites on your main save?
also does switching multi tools in main save to copy multiple to expedition work?
Anyone got this update ?
where can i find cactus flesh?
Nanites are used to acquire your MT and or Ship you synthesise to the expedition from a primary save. Once you finish you get this opportunity to once again spend Nanites to keep the MT and or Ship you had last selected for being added back to the Primary save.
No, multiple is not possible.
what happens if my slots on the primary save are full
For items/resources in Cargo you mean, upon finishing?
ship and multi tool slots
Then it provides the option to exchange
whos the annoying little twerp that put a base called Point 03" at rendezvous 3, so nobody can search the crashed freighter
Just report it if that happens
how do i do that
Go into quick menu and scroll all the way over till you see bases
Select the one, report it, take picture then, poof it gone
and blocking the rendezvous point freighter is reportable?
Yeah if it's a base
he just put a bnase comp down so you cant edit the area, meaning crates cant be accessed
base
no actual building
can u go into offline?
options - network - multiplayer = off
What an
hole
i mean to access the freighter ur talking abt
But should be called an 
Someone did the with the sentinal ship to
a knobhead
yeah but theres a base comp there i dont think disabling multiplayer will remove that
You can report it
AukMonster
lemme show u what it is
Aslong as the bases arent in the way of something them im fine with them
Cause if anything I'll just join and manually remove it
You can still do the sunken freighter mission perfectly fine as long as the black box ball thingy is still there
It's not mine but I have ways
its buried
can someone help me find an exotic world? for the expedition
Red star system
It’s just in the middle there
Any world with gold listed
should suffice
alright thanks
I was told it would 🥺
Not all gold planets have exotic creature
yeah and I was told worlds with gold if you do it there it would work
No but I mean
It will disappear
Is it a justified report
Yes
I don’t think HG give a fuck anyways
I mean its in the way soo
Nope it's just Dissapears
Nope

You won’t
You wont, its justified
Alrighty
HG only really ban people for using exploits/mods to grief
And even then they barely don’t
Like I removed a base that was in the way as a dude was building it, one tapped him deleted it then went about my day
Was it in a bad spot?
He caged a portal
Hey, I'm doing a nexus mission and am at a crashed underwater freighter. How do I get the expedition to register that I've found said crashed freighter?
IT DIDNT FUCKING REMOVE IT
I still can’t access any of the cargo crates
Imma try a reload
Ive seen one of those but it was nice since i could enter
That or maybe rescan for another frieghter
Talk to the black box orb thingy
It’s the one AT the rendezvous point
which is why I was annoyed
Why would you wanna loot the RDVZ one?
I actually think the person who built the base was just ignorant and not greifing
turns out first planet I find that has gold has exotic creatures
Well yeah
Most do
But I believe there’s some obscure thing that makes it impossible
I know most do
It’s just if it’s most or all that I’m confused about
is there a current expedition on going?
Yes

Thank you all so much!
Read up on the part about expedition
There’s a bunch of new stuff related to expeditions now
i was looking for something to play this weekend, do you think the expedition can be completed in 12hours or is it longer?
It definitely can
I did it in 5
I could do it faster I wasn’t lazy
Awesome, thnak you!
anyone know where to find a sentinel ship?
There’s a milestone that gives you the item
how many biscuits needed for quest?
i used it, found a ship, did the quest only to realize at the end that i never got the part from the ship that i needed
i tried, sentinels were constantly spawning in so i never got the number of them below 9 at any time, just constantly coming back, i couldnt get the wave up
Just reached my first rendezvous point
1
If you still got a geknip toss it in.
Try something else than shooting a spacestation
what other options are there?
Piss off sentinels on planet and take to space
is it needed to discover everything?
For the community milestone? No. But every scan helps push the percentage a bit.
i might try to get the missing one's then at some point
idk why but a sentinel ship just showed up and gave me the coordinates while i was casually flying alone in a dissonant system
I think multiplayer bugs out the enemy interceptors
or just kill a few sentinel freighters for funsies

Dps test lol
Does anyone have an extra harmonic brain they are willing to trade?
cant you find those by killing space sentinels?
I will give it a try.
oh my god, finally found the last underground fauna at rendezvous 3. can find both of them at +36.65, +71.57. another player found them and placed a comm ball there
where to find exotic
red stars , planets that have gold listed when you look at them
i dont remember the specific sytem
Oh! You can use some of your stuff from your regular game in the expedition!
It looks like I can use some Living Ship stuff.
301:1 spawn chance.
what constitutes an airless planet?
I got cords to a plated planet
Is living ship technology useful for the expedition at all?
Should I put regular ship modules in there to take with me?
I didn't need to use it
Okay.
I do have regular ship modules in storage. I have already filled out regular cargo supplies.
I just used a sentinel ship after I got it
Okay. I should put in ship modules then, probably.
Oh. I don’t have any in storage. I used to.
Maybe I should try and get some before I go on the expedition.
does it have to specifically be airless planet or can it be a dead planet
I'm not sure if you already did living ship stuff yet so idk how to respond
I think they are both lifeless just one has low gravity
Not sure tho
Nah I’ll just start the expedition LOL
I can get upgrades
I will already be pretty well set with the cargo stuff I put in
I like being able to give myself some stuff
Ooh I’m on a nice glowy planet
Oh and I look like my regular self
A teal and purple Autophage
I just need to do the optional missions
So there isn't much to bring with that will help speed it up?
Oh it can go much faster if you wanna help yourself with giving yourself stuff
will a frostbound planet work for photographing a frozen planet
Not really. You’ll find everything right in the expedition, as always.
What's the estimated time to complete?
Once you can bring in your main ship and MT, it goes a lot easier
Ehhhh I did it in like uh 7-12 hours and that was me getting distracted
If you have game knowledge, 5 hours on medium pace.
I should have made another Hazmat Gauntlet to put in my expedition inventory, I did not think of that.
At least I gave myself an AtlasPass
You get the hazmat thing as a reward.
Yea
i guess when i'm almost done with the expedition i can switch to primary save and have a junk multitool slot selected
And if you gave yourself cactus meat and mould, you don’t need the hazmat gauntlet
It's been a minute since I've played the game. Think the last expedition I did was part of living ship lmao
I not sure what happens after I complete the expedition but I completed it yesterday and it said with was gonna turn into a normal save
This my first
I put silver and gold in my expedition inventory but they have not ended up in my inventory
Can't find am airless planet. Do I need to a cadimum drive
They should appear in every type of star system
Question, if i want to play with my group, we start the expedition toghether from our main save or we find each other there?
How much will it cost to copy a maxed out multitool and ship into the expedition?
I'm waiting on that
2k nanites ish
Ehhhh idk
Each?
no for the whole thing
Ok ty
I didn't bother much with upgrades
has ANYONE got optional thingy no. 3
The questions slowed down
it comes in time as the community plays the game
I got number 2 and it says I got number 1 but nothing else
It’s a community milestone
Either everyone gets it or no one does
I completed the Expedition but I can't use the terminal in the anomaly
all of the stuff that you earn in the expedition goes to your main save right? I made a new save and started at the expedition
Did you make sure to collect the final phase reward?
yes
I think it just turns into its own save
I did
No
you can receive any unlocks from expeditions on any save by talking to the quicksilver vendor
Did you transfer the items you wanted to keep to the terminal before finishing?
You get all phase rewards account wide
But if you started it from the main menu you can’t send anything else
