Go to the other side of the planet. I found mine in basically an ocean.
Noted! I didn't copying anything this time round. But I'll do so next time
I might have to; searching in lakes just isn't working.
I've never had any luck in the lakes.
the new ship is a reward from Expedition 12?
Yes
and some folks already have that new ship. meaning they don't want the optional 4 and 5 rewards?
Yes, some completed it without waiting for those
And made a new save.
I was able to get the new ship even without ending the expedition
you can get the ship and still get the optional objectives when they trigger
My stubborn butt wants a horror egg I can't get any other way atm. So the expedition is staying open as long as that takes. š
I think I have one of those.
Switch, friend. I can't trade
sorry i am confused. how do we get the new ship and yet still get the optional objectives?
in your main save or the expedition save?
Sad day. š¦
main
Annnd now you know why I'm waiting lol
I will pet mine for you.
question, when we finish the expo, do we get the value of the freighter we have in it transferred over to the main?
Can u give the egg to your other save?
make sure you click final phase in the expeditions screen then click the golden badge at the bottom. then you can pause your expedition save either through the escape menu or through the anomaly. once you're back in your main save, you can copy your current ship and you can claim it from the quicksilver merchant
I'm going to assume so, that's why @lusty slate is waiting.
if you want to get 2 starborn runners, make sure you claim it in the expedition save first and keep it as your active ship when you head back to your main save. then copy it before going to the quicksilver merchant. it won't let you claim 2 if you do the quicksilver merchant first
I will probably do the same just in case
do u know the trick to get 3 photonix cores?
hmm thanks. will give this a try.
You can't physically send the eggs back, no. But completing the milestone unlocks them to be claimed at the QS merchant when you return.
i only know how to get 2
But I need that QS for my hoarding purposes. š¦
Phase 4 done yet fellas?
Sure.
QS will be merged with your main. Most inventory can be sent back too. Just not eggs.
Sweet I'll log on to grab egg quick
Ty
81%
Oh what da heck lol
I'm staring at the Expedition console trying to commit what I want to send over lol.
Hopefully we can get 20% in 6hs so I can quicksilver farm pre and post midnight then lol
82
I have searched this planet so much I have no idea how it's still only 82% š«
It's community it's everyone
Community milestone.
when i click the golden badge at the bottom, should i be on foot or in the space ship?
am not too clear about 'pausing' the expedition save.
So if I complete the milestone on another save I will be able to claim on my main?
still got 9999999999 more planets to go
doesn't matter
I don't see why not.
All I need to finish is some mould now!
the golden badge doesn't pause the save, you do that through another part of the escape menu or through the anomaly. clicking the badge just claims the item for your entire account. make sure you click the other badges if you haven't already so you get everything else
Looking at other peopleās bases to try and find some
I've been bamboozled the other guy said it was done lol
Next time ask me lol. I have it up on Switch while doing other stuff.
I didn't say it was done.
half tempted to just keep the expedition save as I newly started 2 weeks before the expedition-Thoughts?
I said sure lmao.
I would.
Basically gave you a jump start.
agreed and ill just copy the stuff from my other save i want ship etc to this if i need it
You can definitely do that. It will convert to a normal save after.
Yeah that will work well for you.
woot woot
I still use some of my former expedition saves for various things. I used Leviathan to get the Survivor title.
How's the progress on the community research?
for stage 4?
Yes
i'm getting impatient lol
I can't wait to have my own biological horror
Use "!tier" command in #bot-spam to see reaserch progress
I was happy they gave us a jellyfish. I love Jellyfish!
This is actually kinda genius of HG. Nice way to offer a selection of legacy exped rewards without making a whole remix + keep people actively playing
The expedition console saves what Items you put into it incase you need to back out and make changes.
And like, I'll feel I've actually earned the horror egg. Instead of it just being given to me.
...sometimes I think I'm better off lol. No risk of random crap from the Anomaly on Switch.
Speaking of eggs: Is it possible to have more eggs from the reward companions? wasn't possible for the last exped companion iirc
Define random?
People giving you unsolicited stuff in the Anomaly
You don't like unsolicited silicate powder?
do i have to wait till exp is over to claim all my twitch drops?? i dont see it listed under the options
More for me I guess.
Our Anomaly is solo
Nope.
Peace and quiet. š
If you donāt research rendezvous planets I will find you
Twitch drops should show up there when completed.
I mean, you probably won't.
I'm still underground.
need to claim them at the quicksilver guy, drops
Looking at cute rocks.
I love the random stuff people give me and i love to give random stuff to people (mostly stuff to sell ||or some nipnip||)
I throw away ANYTHING i get on the Anomaly.
I prefer actually playing the game as intended lol
when i see any of you guys you get some premium nipnip
Because people will hand you 3000000 fusion igniters.
i only claimed day one on regular save but done see the other days i have claimed??
That many nanites will remove a LARGE chunk of content.
Sometimes there's a delay
Did you claim them in Twitch first?
oh wait, yeah. it's 3 photonix cores, not 2. make starborn runner active, copy the ship over to your main save, go back to expedition save, end it and move the photonix core into the inventory you bring back. then claim the ship from the quicksilver merchant
yes did todays and the past three days.
Hmmm
I can't find dissonance resonators on this planet
agreed hmm, i think its cuz its currently an exp save i may have to wait
steam PC
looks like some folks on reddit said they had the issue during the last expedition and had to wait till it ended.
how do we copy the ship over to our main save? i saw the 'return to main save' in the options menu, is that it?
And when we return to main save, wouldn't that overwrite the expedition save?
That seems odd because those shouldn't be related.
that will send your character over to the main save but not the ship. for the ship, you need to be on your main save and go to the expedition terminal in the anomaly
i haven't really looked at the escape menu option but in the anomaly you have an option to temporarily go back to your main save and another option to end it. you want to choose the option that lets you go back temporarily
ah ok. that explains it. i have not checked the anomaly yet. thanks.
so that is how we can complete the expedition without ending it. and can claim the new ship twice.
Don't forget the community challenge
because we didn't end the expedition, we can still earn the community challenge. even if we complete the expedition.
ending is different from completion.
Are the twitch rewards only available for your main save? I don't even have the "Receive Twitch Rewards" on my expedition save...
i have not checked the anomaly QS vendor, but probably. HG did disable Twitch rewards in the previous expedition as well.
Oh well fk me. Been bangin my head against this for a day now. Unlinking, relinking, cache clearing, verifying files...
NOWHERE does it say the twitch drops are for non-expedition saves.
well your expedition does revert to a normal save at the end. so technically.... it will become a regular save.
Liquid explosive do you actually have to craft it or a player giving it to you counts too?
I believe it says manufacture.
have to make it
could get the components from someone else though
that's true
or maybe some terminal sells the components
perhaps in wanted systems
Just play da game do da missions
Interceptor mission chain is broken for some in the expedition. The star ship is sending us to the camp where we interact with things and the camp is sending me off to another ship crash site. It isn't doing anything with the brain that initially sent me there. So then i had two missions for ships. Which i gave up on and went back to my main save, both missions were then deliberately abandoned. And ANOHTER mission for the exact same thing popped up which had not been there previously. That one wanted to send me somewhere across the regular galaxy from around a year ago or so when i last played, which i have NO way to find after such a long time as the game assumed i am next to any old quest and no longer gives the option to restart it on a local basis as i seem to remember the game having an an option previously. And why do all your missions rotate back and forth at the bottom right of the screen? I just want to set it to the ONE mission i WANT to do. I have seen this reported for years by the way... probalby not coming back to game after this waste of serveral hours and the extreme frustration with the game.
i did everything this is the only thing that i need to finish the expedition, i have uni so the faster i can do stuff and the more i can cheese the better
Did you make sure to probe the brain, which should direct you to a monolith where you purify the brain?
the brain sent me to a camp when i hit E in the inventory
It ain't broken. You're doing it wrong. The Carrier AI Fragment takes you to the stranded ships location. you loot a brain from the ship and then activate it from your inventory. It'll take you to a monolith and there you need to activate the brain, take it back to the crashed ship and claim it.
Wait, a camp?? Are you sure you held E on the hyaline brain, and not an echo locator?
Wait your supposed to get a jet pack trail with the expedition right?
not that I know of.
nope. not many goodies from this exp, actually
does it help to have taravelled a long distance before finishing the expo? ik it tracks the distance you travel but idk if you get any additional rewards or anything
nope! nothing
I used one and went to the location, then used the other one and went there. huge red tower bit with a few things to shoot and interact with
means fuck all?
Maybe an extra milestone in the main game, but that's it.
there might be a title too, but I can't remember

o?
for travelling how far exactly?
i thought i was doing something wrong and hit up a tweitch channel, streamer there had the same issue. might be something about having the same mission outside the expedition, then getting it IN the expedition. I recall the expedition giving me sone of the loots needed to get to the ship etc. or i brought them into the expedition with me maybe, not 100% certain
dunno. should be somewhere in your menu where you can also find discoveries. I'm not in the game atm.
š¼
in the menu it shows the stats but im not sure ab title rewards
On an expedition because who's gonna tell me no? š
title rewards can be found at the thingy you change appearance in.
Now your hand glows
Ok, so, I've scanned 12 flora, 20 minerals, & all 7 critters for Rendezvous 4. [New Wadhabie]
I think I'm only missing a scan for the blue Booster Bud [patent pending] plants, if they even spawn there.
Still listed as about 83-84% on the community gauge for the optional mission there.
How about the rest of ya?
How do I copy my ship over again?
At the Terminus at the anomaly.
Not giving me an option
Iām in the expedition and I canāt copy my main ship over
Probably the same since that's based on everyone's progress.
did you start the expedition from the terminus, or a clean exp save?
Terminus
anyways i abandoned both missions once back into the regular save, and after doing that another mission for the same thing popped up. which i had never seen before that. abandoned that mission as well, wasted hours, probably not even doing another expedition at this rate. and the new one wants to send me to some location over a year old, which the game does not let me reset to a more local option. Was that feature removed at some point?
Individual scans for flora & minerals should differ though, depending on how much work people put into them, so I'm just comparing notes to see if I'm lacking somewhere.
Weird. You should get the option to copy MT and ship, but only once each.
I can copy from expedition to main save but not main save to expedition
My expedition is NOT ended and just paused. I havenāt pushed the āend expedition buttonā
dang, still 84%. was hoping phase 4 would finish today and phase 5 would finish tomorrow but it's looking like it'll be another day
I also canāt transfer anything anymore from primary but I assume thatās because I started my expedition
So, when you are on the exp save, you can't copy your main ship?
Correct
There's still 4 hours left before midnight in EST it could still finish today
Hereās the main save
I'm pretty confident tier 4 will finish tonight or overnight.
And you didn't copy a ship already?
Ikr?
Gonna comb over the last 2 Rendezvous points to see if I can increase the scan numbers a bit more, but it's really going at a snails pace, now, which tells me the community isn't that enthusiastic about the optionals this time around.
You've fnisished the main expedition already. so that's why you can't copy your ship anymore.
I think it's only for that specific planet.
Ahhh
But I can still contribute to the optionals provided I donāt hit āend expeditionā?
You can copy the expedition ship, though. and yes, you can still contribute
I'm in no rush for it to complete tonight. š
Perfect Iām on my way to finish the scans
It's a community milestone. You solo isn't going to bump it up by much. It's the number of people that contribute. No choice but to do your part and then wait.
I'm in a rush for phase 5 tbh
It being a hostile planet could make lots of ppl quit
If I recall correctly, you only need 3 scans to contribute.
Any more scans and it doesnāt do much?
Just get to the Anomaly after that & make sure you have enough nanites to make the copies.
Honestly, there's no way to know for sure if the scans past the first 3 count.
Hmm. I thought the numbers got bumped up more if you did more; is it only really registering 3 scans per spot?
And do we know if we can transfer the eggs once the expedition completes?
When you start the scanning milestone, the description says 0/3. As soon as you get 3 scans, the milestone notification doesn't show anymore.
I dont even get that
You can't transfer the eggs, but you can claim them at the quicksilver guy on all other saves.
The eggs cannot be put into the terminal to transfer, no. But you'll be able to claim one for your main at the QS merchant when they finish.
Gotcha
If you set the milestone as active mission, it will show a note in the right downside corner of your screen.
can you get both RESIST and SURRENDER?
Phase 5 isn't too bad, actually; there's a base or two there that you can use as a shield to pop in & out while killing the sentinels.
Saves a lot of effort.
Or just get a sentinel boundary map on an easier planet prior to that & use it once you land.
There's already an uploaded pillar base there everyone can use.
Thatās for the previous ones. The ones not completed yet just give you details
Lmao that's twice that auto correct happened I'm sorry mods
Switch players don't have the horror egg yet either
for the 5th? It will show more info when the 4th is done.
Fourth
well, then I guess you've done the necessary scans for your part.
it doesn't hurt to scan more, since you get some moolah for the scans.
And Switch players can't be traded items. So we're extra anxious to get these completed as at the moment, it's the only way we're getting these.
Wow... i guess I'm done with the expedition, then.
Nothing left to do but wait.
Ah, you're Switch too. Welcome to the Switch Waiting Room Club.
It's always something. š
I still have to start the expedition on my Switch account. Not felt inclined to do it yet.
I need the scary monster eggs
šAyup, switch here too.
Honestly I'm not too sad about missing out on a few of the expedition rewards, but content is content.
I just wish there was more variety in the kinds of weaponry we have.
& I'd like to actually fight a Vykeen with a sword.š
Is there any special way to complete the grand tour in phase 3? No planets I've done have counted
They gotta be specifically named.
Scorched, etc.
It can be in the same class
PS5?
You donāt have to find a āfrozenā but one of the same class as frozen
Guilty as charged
And you need to be in the atmosphere to take the picture
What do you mean? š
Do they? I don't remember any but my last one, honestly, & it matched perfectly.
Fly in the planet until it says youāre in the atmosphere
Go into photomode and hold the share button till you get the bar with 3 options to take a shot. then choose the middle one.
Or just, yknow, land before taking the pic.
I've done icy and molten, but neither worked for frozen or scorched
Landing and take off costs fuel
im just popping in every 30 seconds to see if the research is done yet
Which is a problem?
I feel stupid - I didn't know you could take photos while in your ship š
If you donāt transfer anything it can be
you can do the photos from your ship, as long as you're in the atmosphere of the planet
Thank y'all! I'll try it now
there is a low atmosphere planet in the starting system. that one counts for airless.
yall think if i pause expedition and go back to my main save, I can come back and grab those research rewards?
Doesn't the default ship for this exp have auto-recharging as one of the rewards? I swear it did...
Tier 4 is 85 currently
yeah thats why i was asking i wanna fuck around on my main save now because that's all im waiting for, but don't want it to bug out if i hop back and forth
It does, but itās not quick
Better to just be conservative anyway with the screenshots since it doesnāt require landing
Better slow than stranded, & we've got over a week to work.š
As long as people don't start slacking tier 4 should finish around midnight EST
Slower than yesterday tier 3 finished around 6pm est
At least we have a month. I fear for those trying to get these in the redux..
I have a funny feeling the game just has a timer to complete each commnunity milestone, instead of it depending on actual communal effort š
Try to find a deep area. Mine didn't spawn in the shallows.
Yeah, that's a PITA. I took from some advice earlier & looked in oceans instead of lakes. Worked wonders.
Huh... just discovered the "view recipe" when trying to make Warp cells and holy does that make things easy
Expedition conspiracy! Tonight at 11.
It's gonna stop at 99%
if you drop your nautilus in any water and use the scanner it'll tell you where a bigger body of water is and the freighter
i got tired of flying around looking for deep water and did that
I need to get some Freighter upgrades
but I can't get any Salvaged Frigate modules to get any
yeah man i miss being a pirate and getting frigate modules
Iām still a pirate
used to be a common drop from pirating freighters though
Iām at endgame though on my main where Iām just going āhmm this freighter looks betterā and it just has a wing
I mean common doesnāt matter if everything goes boom right?
I'm a pirate on the side
I hope we get to own multiple freighters someday.
Was on the same boat, but haven't regretted trading it in.
Does it go by the class system too?
K, food break. Checking back in a few hours.
Yes. Mine is S-Class, which seems to be fairly easy to find.
Pirate freighter has gek flag on bridge so i wont get it on my korvax crew.
How far through the research are we?
85
On which planet
Really? Haven't noticed that. my bridge crew are all Vykeen. I think it depends on what system you get it from?
4
Thanks
Can you imagine how crazy it'd get if blasters were made via parts like the scepters are, & some could only be found in expeditions?
š
hell yeh
No .flag is always the same.
Booted up the game to check. You're right. Gek flag
How far do I have to reach to officially own a frigate?
Imagine getting to man those turrets & defend your frigate Star Wars style.
Should be first few warps you get a freighter under attack
Win, dock, and talk to the captain
nice, thanks š
Man⦠the Venes would just be super nostalgic
Then again, they kinda look outdated too.
Star Wars vibes! 
Venes? Nah. I wish my dread worked out and didnāt have the thing block the dock
I only resently came back to game (2018) but do you still get a free freighter for the FIRST one you except?
I remember seeing Star Wars builds in a video of No Man's Sky
I smacked into that thing too many times
Man this atlas helm is really tough to make look good
black and dark red looks great IMO and fits the atlas vibe
Not saying itās bad but I just canāt get a good look going
Yeah the black and dark red is what Iām using
That's uh.. that's big
What we at on the community goal?
Imagine the Death Star 3.0 looked like the Space Station in No Man's Sky.
Itās just the rest of my character either is using curvy armour or stuff with lots of wires and all that
Which doesnāt fit
I've used one till we could grab Pirate Freighters. Both are accessible fine.
around 85
i usually go with tattered tech look, so i loved the autophage stuff, but for the atlas character i went all sleek and shiny
Iāll take a look at the pirate ones. Is there a special way to trigger those?
Ooh nice
Thanks.
warp to pirate systems and you'll encounter a battle soon enough.
Ah fair
Iām trying out new looks rn. Previously I was going for a ārouge heroā look with the hooded traveler helm and a black and blue style
But Iām trying the villain style for that now
not convinced on shoulders but i dig so far
Or can I swap out the seeds
With rusted robot arms
Also this is one my main save. Do I need these anymore?
Oh Damm that works really well actually
They look brutal.
I keep seeing videos of this comparison often.
Gives you one extra hit point
Okay fair
Thatās it
Clickbaits. 2 diffrent games
i also threw the electric trail on the jetpack which is really cool lol
I keep it for rememberance (heh)
I do need to get that
Gotta say tho. Iām crazy disappointed in the eye of korvaz helm
Like Dammā¦
I'm aware. Two different developer companies too.
Those lights are just too bright and too white is that makes sense
Having the visor have red lights is basically having white lights with a red tint
I am just wondering if there's really a lack of ship customization?
I spent most of my quicksilver on them too
You need it if you wanna access lore panels locked behind atlas pass 2 and 3 doors.
Alright

if its any consolation i feel like the whole point of this game is to spend currency on stuff you'll never use because you'll find one look you stick to lol
Discord had a different way to post now. I hadn't known this change and how I pull up photos.
Yeah haha! Iām not super upset as I now have another helm to play around with
Tomorrow Iāll spend a while and get a style I really like
Ayo, you in-game now or?
i always go with drapey robes and hoods, so when they came out with autophage stuff i was so stoked lol. like perfect for my aesthetic
I just wish there was a helmet light brightness thing you can change
I want to visit someone in-game.
I need to check out the robes
Itās on my list
Also how do people get a staff?
It's one of the rewards.
Oh
as well as there's a quest line for one too.
They look neat
It says the new ship can hover. What button is that on pc?
atlas staff is the exp, autophage staff is their quest line but easy to farm
I think that may just be a cosmetic thing, I tried slowing the ship to a stop and it wouldnāt just hover
Stinky is Marge warping through space š goofy pfp
Thatās⦠unfortunate
lmao
with the atlas staff is chef's kiss
you think humans will ever have warp travel in... a million years?
Oooh
also in-game we're not human... are we?
Unlikely, teleportation would require total atomic disassembly and reassembly at a different point
Doing so would kill you
Yeah, that's a flaw for sure. then again, the looks make up for it for me.
And then just clone you at a different spot
sounds very risky
oh gotcha
tbh i think the problem with the new atlas cosmetics is they look like they're made of plastic. they don't have that usual metallic texture that other atlas things have
86 P4
ah, futuristic plastic
Wait, what?
imagine having this red sphere from the atlas stations as an actual head...

qq?: where freighter upgrade terminal at?
Kill, then clone?
Central freighter bridge console
Yep
future tech scares me...
ah thx im blind
funny, lately I wear glasses more
To achieve teliportation you would have to disassemble your atomic makeup (killing you in the process) convert that into energy, send that energy to a different location which would then reassemble a perfect copy of you
It would be functionally identical to you
Same memories and everything
They will think they are you
But the original one (the one that stepped into the machine) is now gone
So, I think I might have stumbled across a unique audio glitch for this expedition.
Sometimes, when boarding the anomaly, after having been underwater on a planet, the slightly flowy, bubblish underwater sound will still be playing.
Ask a doctor
lol
The underwater sound goes away upon exiting & reloading the game, but this has happened to me multiple times now.
No Man's Sky is awesome but if I go blind while playing... bruh
When you start having to take them off to play because you can focus on things close to your face, that's when you worry. Varifocals! NOOOOOOOOO!

focus on things from far... in-game, but in real life driving hits different
one is a windshield other is a screen of light
remember when screens were glass?
The future of gaming is lightly changing and people don't often notice it
when it will revert to normal save ? at the end of ur expedition progress or expedition last day (iirc next 5 weeks) ?
my friend are currently free weekend player and intended to continue to play as normal using their current expedition save, how/when to convert ? i think he will destroyed to know he need to start over.
lol. Been there, done that. Never been happier with vari's. Still not 100%, but it gets damn close š
what is the total average number of possible saves?
does it differ depending on the platform?
15
reasonable
Hawk I hadn't touched this game in a long dang time
In release the problems bothered me to hell until they eventually fixed a lot
8 years it has been?
I remember when the animals walked sideways š
Please tell me phase 4 is at atleast 90% fellas
If you want to talk about nms in general go to #no-mans-sky .
86% 
How long has this expedition been out?
"Language."
Capt. America
I'm probably gunna have 15k quicksilver by the time everything is said and done
Maybe 16k depending on how long phase 5 takes
I don't use the cheating method so any bit of quicksilver helps
...wait, we can't react with emojis?
Yes
im going to cry if planet 4 aint done
I'm not a higher level then š
Phase 5 being completed is the only way switch players can get a nightmare beast so my fingers are fucking crossed lol
ah yes phase 5 the extreme sentinel planet
does #nms-spoilers explain phases more?
with extreme storms too
and robot life?
We have literally SO much time left...
Expeditions aren't spoilers so no need
There's enough time for me to leave for a 2 week vacation, come back and STILL have time.
You guys are trying to do 75 in a 30.
The final phase is always risky because lots stop playing the expedition
Once it took the whole 5 weeks
I am finding myself asking dumb questions. Hope it doesn't bother y'all. š
Good!
It doesn't. We welcome all!
Once you get the reward you want or don't need anymore quicksilver people tend to stop playing
I hadn't touched the game in a long time, so I forget a lot.

Long gap of no playing No Man's Sky I mean.
You'll survive.

should I be giving this guy stuff?
Unless Bio Horrors kill me.
If you want
I can't wait to make one my pet lol
no reason not to. you get free nanites
I am so behind.
Once phase 5 of this expedition is completed you can yes
Very cool. Better friend than foe.
ok so he doesn't take like iron and copper from my inventory?
nope, it's just scan data
cool thanks!
Imagine the scan snatches from you. That would suck.

actually looks like he wanted one or the other
be feeling that way
I gave him the plant data and now he isn't asking for minerals anymore
He has what he needs then
He's got a small cooldown
give this guy milestone data?
ok thx
so um... Expedition helps unlock the hidden race to make ourselves into?
Nope.
oh
This Expedition gives you the atlas staff.
The race you're referring to is the autophage.
yeh
You'll need to google how to get into that because It's content I've not touched.
(I'm bad with names)
I only touch the expeditions because I don't wanna miss out.
fair
That was part of a past expedition
So lets say I do 50% of this expedition and then in a year it comes back around. Can I pickup where I left off?
The main content will be there when I get time.
Nope.
It would be a fresh start.
This specific one won't come back as you know it.
Ah ok
anyone know where i can find a sunkin freighter?
It'll come back as a Redux.
what does that mean?
So it will be shorter duration and modified as such.
So it'll be easier
So it's currently 5 weeks for this expedition, if they Redux it and bring it back, it'll be shorter than 5 weeks and easier requirements.
Yeah.
hmm
And yet you can finish them in an evening.
and this one is actually very easy
How long to finish this one? I'm 2hrs in so far
They're not meant to be incredibly hard.
I finished my first one in about 7 hours.
Is this basically like playing the entire main game tho?
I'm sure someone will chime in with "I DID IT FASTER!!"
well, some were kinda annoying.
because I haven't finsihed the main story yet
I know I can start the expedition on a new save, but if I start this expedition from an existing save am I required to melt the expedition save back into the original save at the end or can I just keep it separate if I want?
Nope.
Good question. I want to say yes but don't quote me on that. I just started it from my main save.
expeditions are really just a boost to the beginning of your save. you don't actually complete much of the story content
Should I be doing these missions right now? I just found the anomaly
You can.
Nope. it just 'converts' back into your normal save.
They give you different goodies.
terrain gen moment
Like, that weekly one is 20 storm crystals. Those are easy money.
So if I want to keep the expedition save I can't start with an existing save.
It took me like 2hrs to get 1 storm crystal
But if you just started, it will be hard because those crystals are on extreme planets.
If you start from an existing save, from the terminus, you will not have a seperate exp save in your saves list.
The weekly one is not storm crystals even though it says it is. It lies.
if you start from a new save, you can't copy your main save's MT and ship, nor send goodies to start with.
Call it a fibber.
correct, however you do get to transfer an expedition ship and multi-tool to your main save if it isn't a duplicate of one already in your main save and you can also transfer a good number of items/tech back to the main save as well
Does this expedition involve a freighter? I hear you can't transfer a freighter and it would be a bummer to get a good one and have to loose it.
no need for a freigher
you can't transfer freighters but it also isn't required in the expedition
i'd just get the free one for some extra storage space
do these achievements reset every new game/expedition?
So you can transfer at least one ship I hear.
yep
What's the name of the last expedition planet?
what's up w this thing?
You modify pet apperance here. Check #nms-fauna pins
so it's only cosmetic?
Anyone needing help in the expedition I finished everything but can still help
Making eggs takes forever
24 hours for thr egg 24 hours to hatch
A week to fully show height differences
I'm just at the anomaly part, is there some difficult stuff coming up?
so ignore this egg for now?
What phase are you on
Does anyone know where I can find an exotic animal for the phase 5 mission?
is it possible for another player to just give me the explosive liquid or do i need to make it myself
The only thing you'll need to worry about is on phase 4
I jumped to RV2 there are a few blue systems nearby with exotic
ok good to know, thanks!
It's possible for someone to give you the stuff to make the explosive liquid
alright
88% of phase 4 gamers
Like the unstable gel and the acid
can you find a pirate freighter in this expedition? (barely played expeditions, dunno the exact ins and outs)
desolate = airless?
i NEED a pirate freighter I NEED ONE
Ok thanks
Yes you can I have an A class one atm
You need a freighter first to find the pirate one
Yea once you get the pirate one you can exchange your current for it
is this where I'm supposed to land?
If yall want help on the expedition I can help yall I'm in the expedition rn just chilling in my freighter
fly into blue
Yea
oh would you look at that
a venator freighter just as i warp
it's tiny and ugly
but i Need it for a PIRATE FREIGHTER
I got one of the big ones for the pirate one
does it matter what freighter i claim?
Nope
cool cool
oh yeah this capital freighter wasn't in combat
...for some reason
so@i can't get it for free
Once you have one just warp to pirate controlled systems and high economy ones as well
39 million 
what should I be doing on this freighter?
time to find another freighter
I can join you to help
Claim it if you can but if you can't find one that is in combat they are free
sean if you could help me get stuff for cookies or tell me where to find exotic animal that would help alot
I don't think this is a derelict freighter, just a normal one
Sure just add me and I'll join ya 0G8B-C71F-CDMEJ
Is this yellow diamond shape the goal to reach?
Yes
what code is this?
It's my no man's sky friend code
Everyone has one they exchange it to each other to friend each other in game
is there a new expedition out?
Yep expedition 12
will my base landing pad charge my hpyerdrive?
who oh WHY doesnt it get added to the announcements
i just found out from someone else it wasnt even announced here
got it
No It won't that doesn't have an auto charger
You'll have to send me yours for me to add you back
2MQ7-YZTM-XFD3R
I'll Join ya
If you have a mic I'm also gonna be using that
I have a stupid question that has probably been asked 1000 times
What would that be
If I finish the expedition and get my ship and return to my primary save can I still get the bonus milestones later when they complete or will I have to start all over or something
Yes
he's my favourite, so friendly and the way he cheers up when he gets something is soo adorable
Do not end the expedition
But you can āpauseā and return back
Thatās what I was told anyway
lol I hadn't noticed. I'll make sure to pay attention next time š
should I buy some mould from this guy?
Could buy them. Also the goops and slimes. Those refine into runaway mould, which refines into nanite.
You'll be needing the mould for sure.
@errant quest ayo
Can't use text chat I'm on steam deck
Look for a hexagonal planet
At what point can I get to the anomoly for my stored items? Iām on phase one, āexpand your base.ā I want my goodies now! lol
Everyone start scanning immediately
Warp out of the 1st system.
Aww poo. Gonna be awhile, then. Thanks
qq, on the galaxy map, do the random characters between X LY //<here>// Water mean anything?
if you buy quicksilver rewards with the expedition character, do you have them on your main save?
no, just transfer the quicksilver over at the end and buy it then
how do you transfer quicksilver? it doesn't show up as an item in the inventory
it does it automatically dont worry
when you press "end expedition" it calculates how much you have an adds it to your main
awesome thx
no problem
I'm back. Did tier 4 finish?
No clue. Previous ones finished in a day.
Yes, non-consumable QS items bought (base parts, cosmetics, etc) are account wide.
However, that's unnecessary if you started the expedition from your main save. As units, nanites and QS will be transferred over when you finish and return.
90%
Hmm, it's definitely slowed down a bit today.
who in here aint researchin
Maybe because the play for free weekend players quit now.
Yeah, I kinda expected with the free players gone + RD5 being an aggro planet, thing's would probably slow down.
So when starting this expedition tonight, I'm thinking the tech I'll transfer over will mainly be suit tech. Is that the best idea?
If you only need to scan 3 items, do it in a cave on the aggro planet.
Yes
yeah, you can just leave MT and starship tech on your active MT and ship then make a copy of them with nanites
Personal refiner m2, haz gloves, some S class life support
Yes, good ideas!
Don't bring the personal refiner or hazmat gloves. It'll delete them when you try to move them over because they're mission rewards
Suspicious packs to cash for nanites, expensive items to sell. Life support gel, ion batteries
...? I brought my personal refiner mk2 over and used it the whole time.
it disappeared for me when i tried to extract it from the anomaly
Oh, even the M2 refiner?
what do we do when we complete the missions
that's the one i tried to send over
Hyper drive fuel too. And 200 cactus meat, crystal sulphide, 200 mould.
Don't really need that. You get a refiner as reward real soon
Weird. Switch doesn't have the latest hotfix update yet. Is that why it worked for me?
So what do I do if I report a base for obstructing expedition progress, but it still doesn't let me construct the Nautilon Chamber?
Find another body of water
move away from the base until it lets you build it
There is no more base.
phase 4 is at 90%... just keep scanning scanning scanning scanning
The base wasn't blocking the Nautilon, your lack of a base was.
If anyone else needs any help in game lemme know
Justt move 350 U or so away, build a temp BaseComp, do your business.
I'd look for a different place.
Nothing in the 4.51 patch notes. @hushed heart, did you start the expedition before or after 4.51 dropped?
I literally have it currently installed in expedition mode, so I'm curious.
Isn't it a reward from phase 2 milestone 4? You get a personal refiner there.
The basic one is, not m2. I actually deleted that one from my inventory when I got it as I had mk2 already installed.
What counts as smuggling contraband?
Buy contraband from an outlaw station, sell it in a regulated one.
Visit the pirate system. You can buy stuff from the contraband vendor there.
if you do the log entry about the pirated systems, you get the milestone
Does it have to be the station?
just do a smuggle bounty
Phase 3 milestone 1 rewards you a ticket of freedom. Use it in your inventory to get invited to an outlaw system.
Then look up the contraband vendor, situated on the right side of the space station bay.
I already have the contraband.
Sell it in a normal system.
Just visit a space station and use the galactic trader thing
Go to a normal station and sell it. Trade terminal or pilots.
Fellas we at 95 percent by now or nah
Can it be done at a planetary terminal?
I think you can use the trade rocket too
Phase 2 milestone 3 rewards you the trade rocket unit.
I should claim this right?
depends on what you want. if you like how it looks then yeah sure
or you can reload and rewarp over and over until you get an S class
it'll be the same one
it'll just reroll class if you reload
sorry i worded that poorly originally
I took my time and beat the expedition in 7 hours and 43 minutes
I hear a lot of shooting from inside this freighter control room lol
so this is where I build my extra freighter rooms?
If hou went up the green lit stairs from the freighter's bridge, then yes.
Trade rocket does not count.
Hey all. Wanted to see if anyone knew how long the expedition is live for?

Any news on phase 4 community goal?
I thought it said I have a support frigate?
Check your fleet at the bridge and see if you have any
I can't remember if you get one when claiming a freighter. Been a while ago
Yeah, that's one
ok cool
Hi all!
How I can get the firts hypedrive module? I've checked the space station but there is no module to buy available
You don't need to do that for the expedition, though.
Is this for the expedition or the normal game?
You get it as a reward.
expedition
You get it as a reward in phase 1
but I did everything in the first system and this is a time to move forward
Phase one milestone 2
thanks
You get hyperdrive that early?
I thought it was the milestone right before reaching the space anomaly?
Yes. home Coming milestone
I am already in phase 3 anyways but I thought you get the hyperdrive in milestone 4 or 5 or something
Nope, you get it very early already.
alr
so just do any mission?
Do the one youād enjoy the most
I'm doing it? I thought the frigate goes and does it for me lol
You don't need to do them for the expedition, but of you like to fiddle with them, pick an easy one first.
Oh idk then nvm
Does it benefit me on the expedition?
Not at all
Btw where even is this list Iāve never seen it before
Oh Alr
Only do the things you get listed in the 'expedition' tab. The rest is not relevant for now
Thatās the first milestone in phase 2, you can do the optional milestone in phase 1 if you want though
Primary missions; expedition 12
No. Atlas Rises is a complete different mission and not expedition 12 related.
that p4 planet researched yet? š®
Yeah
Atlas Rises is a secondary mission, also available in normal game. The one in expedition 12 is different.
They both have you do the same thing tho which is visit an atlas interface
With different goals, though
eh game does not care, while in phase 2 I accidentally did a milestone from phase 3 without selecting it
You'll have to visit the Atlas anyway, so...
@tough plank did milestone 6 in p1 prolly so it listed p2 right away cuz milestone 7 is optional
Which is what it did for me as well

Everybody too lazy to go research it?
That's what it seems like
is this for the expedition story?
Having the hardest time finding Rendezvous 4... I'm in the right system but it's not showing up
You get it FROM the expedition but I donāt think you need it later in the expedition
You don't have to do the milestones in order. If the game sees you complete a different one on a different phase you're busy with, it will complete. That's how it always worked.
no
Yeah
it is a normal item to spawn random space encounter
When I did it, a relic gate showed up
So yeah
ah ok I prefer to minimize dangerous space encounters atm
Make sure you have the correct expedition objective selected
For me itās just space objects
but you don't need it to finish milestone
It's New Wadhabie
Thanks! Just stumbled right onto it hahaha
well now it makes more sense as to the reason why I've been warping very far in the opposite direction of the expedition...
vs
Ofc lol
Now start scanning things
ok good ty
Did same thing for me, when I go to the expedition route nothing is there and I have to warp back to my original path smh
That expedition route is prolly another milestone but you donāt have it selected so it wonāt show anything when u go there
do you guys think warping in your freighter or ship is a more efficient use of warp fuel?
I donāt have a freighter but Iād assume freighters use more fuel to warp
||No it's not they can be found in astroids in normal saves they are used to find random space encounters and after getting your first living frigate they can be used to find more living frigates||
im pretty sure when maxed out, freighters warp farther
One person carrying everybody rn
Freighters can get around 6k lys per jump
I've literally scanned basically everything
Go to the other side of the planet then
21 Minerals, 9 flora, 5 fauna
Sadly I can't research the planet anymore because I scanned everything I could this morning
There's 7 fauna on 4
I know
So itās just 2 fauna remaining?
how does this work
Doesnāt everything need to be scanned
The 7th is a fauna that is never seen
Everyone needs to scan
I can't find it
I've seen them all
Should mark it in ur analysis visor no?
Nope
So youāre supposed to scan it by chance?
Alright
So one person scanning every specie on the planet is not enough, others need to do it too
do dreadnaughts reroll class like other freighters?
Yes, that's why it's called a community event
Yes
A trick to looking for creatures, look for the red dots in your scanner
Speaking of, I found the other bird
Just so everyone knows I'm not new to no man's sky I've been playing it for a while now and have done a lot in the game so if anyone needs help with anything ask me but I'm not always available and some things I can't answer because I'm not that good at certain things mostly the super technical things
Me too
I also play through games way to fast and learn quickly
damn i've been redoing this fight like 8 times all C class lmao bad luck i guess
I take my time to thoroughly learn things
No
What I'm saying is I pick up on things way faster than normal people do I can play a game I've never played before and quickly because really good at the game and beat it fast
It's a curse
Yes
Show me.
there was a patch that lowers the number I think
Posted 2 years ago, bud. Things have changed.
Whatās the maximum now?
Also, didnāt you see there are no supercharged slots on that freighter?
5.8k
Dunno if pirate freighter changes anything, it shouldnāt though.
Thatās not too big a difference
Correct, but the claim was āover 6kā.
Alright
With the save edits ive made in pirate dreadnought i may be the second highest in the world⦠depends if @sly pond have built one for testing.
nah im higher
Gunter agrees š
Was just abt to say that 
where do my ship shields show up on here?
What part is the community research project on rn are we still on part 4
The screen to the right of the map thing in the middle
ah ty
That's your shield/health indicator
thought that was the shield of what I'm targeting
anyone else having issues getting "a trace of metal" mission to start during the omega expidition?
ive gotten my settlement to B class waiting for it to pop xD
Also I sent you a message above
Here
This
It's now after midnight phase 4 not done too bad lol
oh thanks, good to know!
Oh OK I've only just seen this BTW
Ok... I've now watched 2 youtube guides for this expd from Xaine's World and I'm still kinda confused on the process of how to start this thing & transfer things over from my current main save. I asked questions in this channel last night but peoples' answers only confused me further. Shall we try it again?
||living frigates are not dangerous and they can be added to your freighter fleet also that device does give you a space encounter but non of them are ever dangerous there is only 1 that sorta is and it's a giant worm thing and if you shoot it it sucks you in and deals dmg to you but just don't shoot them||
They don't, your systems just flash when it gets critically low.
When your shield goes down the exosuit announces it and a white sliding bar slides down from the top of your screen.
I added beans
Yes beans that's all I had on me
False
Oh yeh I'm in a sentinel ship
ok cool
I play in first person POV literally all the time...
All ships have a shield indicator in the cockpit in first person view the screen is on the right of the map you pay attention to that
The question was where it is in the cockpit not in the normal HUD as left corner is not bound to 3rd or 1st person view.
But it still flashes red when its critical
Let's start with this: when i transfer over my ship and/or multitool from the main save, what EXACTLY does & doesnt transfer with it?
Sorry how old of a player are you
Oh yea
Old enough to not simple say "False" with no explanation and then ask how old of a player is
these look important
It doesn't transfer it creats a copy of it and tech will be saved to it and copy over after the expedition is done everything you earned in Said expedition will go back with you to your normal save and the ships and multitools you copied will disappear but still be in your normal save
Copies tech and slots. No inventory
Look at the screenshot above what you said may I say more
š
š® š® š®
So both the copy of the ship and of the multitool will have ALL the same installed techs AND tech moduled as in the main save?
Yes hence you need nanites to copy them.
Yep
Correct. And class too
What they said
But we also are able to transfer (or is it copy?) some tech from main save to expd save using the Nexus interface. Is that only for the purpose of exosuit tech?
Yep dedicated space on the terminal. If I am not mistaken was it 8 Slots for techs.
Correct. Tech can be for anything, but tech for suit is smartest
OBJECTION
No it can be any tech at all that you have in your inventory
@exotic fiber Items/Techs you put into the terminal are not a copy. They are gone on your mainsave. But here comes the twist: At the end of the expedition you can use the same terminal to transfer stuff back to your main account.
You see that bar under the word shield yeah that's your shield
but what wouldbe the purpose of transferring over ship or multitool tech instead of just installing the tech first?
That's it's health bar
Yea but look at the second pic, my shields drained.
Ship class, inventory and tech slots
And th cockpit shows 100% (albiet I can understand the games glitchiness) it was indeed flashing red at critical shield status
It works fine for me lol
Doubt.
i have it on max settings too :v runnin 70 fps
Unless they changed something in the game recently the indicator has always worked
i thought the nexus interface thing had some slots that were only for transferring (or is it copying?) TECH, and some slots that were only for copying (or is it transferring?) INVENTORY. This needs to be clarified otherwise youre just confusing me further
of course they always worked. they show the ship in your focus or the last one (if you do not use focus) you had infront of you and is still nearby.....
because there's still 5 weeks left of the expedition
The slots at the terminal are for tech and goodies you transfer to your expedition save. The copying, blue buttons on the bottom of the terminal screen, are for copying MT and ship.
This. We are not even 1 week in and almost 4 planets out of 5 are done. that is quite fast.
The slots are for sending not copy š
The screen in the cockpit that says shields is your shield indicator not anyone else's it's your ships shields
It isn't reliable imo. I believe you, but i think I'll trust the flashy red light more since that screen is usually used for the target ship rather than your own ship during combat
Ok, so we've clarified about the ship & multitool. Now what about the exosuit?
(And please, keep in mind that I am autistic so the details are super important for my understanding)
No it isn't I've literally been in combat several times and it never shows the shields of enemies
Exosuit will be an remains a starter one in the expedition.
You literally saw another screen with no shiled but full bar in the right corner just above enemy ship name.....
