I got a fucking frost or storm crystal out of a random ass geode.

Geodes used to have a decent chance of giving Crystals, now they’re just all ferrite

It’s very sad

Review our pinned channel rules and server rules, guys. If you're not in this channel to directly discuss the current community expedition, head to the proper channel for your banter. Also abstain from inappropriate NSFW comments.

@cobalt gyro including you

[hard talon]

We’re here helping people on the expedition

[unique glen]

Okies, I’m gonna pick up where I left off tomorrow. Thanks again for your help, guys!

[hard talon]

Good luck!

[unique glen]

We went too far off topic, I guess. Gotta stick to the expo

[wraith venture]

Helping players and directly discussing the expedition is fine. Shitposting with inappropriate commentary especially NSFW is not though.

Hence the friendly reminder about our server rules and pinned channel rules.

From the linked Experimental notes, perhaps these fixes could help:

Fixed a crash in weather effects.
Fixed a memory related crash.

[waxen shuttle]

if you make a creature your companion can other people scan it and have it count for the fauna scanning on the planet it's from?

[wraith venture]

Nah, once it's a companion, it can't be scanned like wild creatures unfort. Not sure if that'd change if you'd free the creature though Something you can also try inquiring about in #nms-questions. Best bet is to take or send the player to the planet where you found the creature

[fair crane]

I'm trying to find the last rendevous location for phase 5. For some reason I didn't get the Starborn Runner ship even though I completed all of the phases and completed the final phase.

[forest reef]

WAIT

I could have used my main save to do the exped?

[bright viper]

how do I get back to this crashed interceptor? there are bases all around it so i can't build one or make a save beacon

[hushed heart]

yes, and you could have moved some of the rewards back to your main save including 2 extra photonic cores

[wraith venture]

Well, sorta'ish. It still creates a new separate expedition save, but you can take some existing tech to it from your main save, and your character customization, type dealio.

All expedition rewards from all the phases are cross-save, so you can claim said rewards in your main and all other saves.

[forest reef]

Would it be worth it to restart, if I can use my own ship and stuff?

[hushed heart]

only if you're still early on imo

[wraith venture]

I mean, you've gone so far along. Rdv 5 you said? I personally wouldn't bother restarting. If you have a main other save and don't plan on keeping this expedition save or making it your main, then doing it all over again, prob not worth it.

[round panther]

ok. so after ~12 hours. its time to end it, omg. i did find 3 rocks that werent uploaded and one plant.

more tomorrow, if its not done yet..

[hushed heart]

if it stays at it's current rate of progression, it won't finish till thursday morning

[waxen shuttle]

i put down a yellow save beacon and a comm station at a location I found the rare underground creature spawn on the phase 5 planet

[wraith venture]

Did you try with these coordinates listed here? #nms-expedition message
Link is from this channel's pins and you can run this as a command !Faq-ExpGlyphs in #bot-spam if you need the coordinates again

[round panther]

idk if it helps if we share where we search. like for the last animal i went south and scanned there.
went a bit into the ocean and underwater cave, normal caves...

[bright viper]

I'm at a crashed interceptor, it won't let me make a base, it won't let me drop a save beacon, so how am I supposed to get back to this thing when I get the materials to repair it?

[fair crane]

Still trying to find it thanks

[hushed heart]

keep the mission active. it gives you a hud icon at the correct place

[bright viper]

I don't have a mission for it

[hushed heart]

you should if you picked up the brain iirc

[wraith venture]

you can try reporting any bases that are showing up in the area so they can disappear from your save. technically that should let you put down a save beacon, etc. if folks didn't upload their claimed bases, this wouldn't be an issue.

[bright viper]

oh you're right it did at a mission

[forest reef]

Wouldn't turning MP off work too?

[bright viper]

it really wouldn't be an issue if I could just like bookmark the base

[hushed heart]

i think you have to turn it off before visiting the base

[ashen shore]

I still think mp was ever intended but Sean said it was and it was too late to go back
Bases, communication orbs and their lag, doing quests in mp
All cause so many issues

[hushed heart]

people raised a big stink when they tried to meet up with each other and couldn't

[ashen shore]

I remember the list of missing features and the death threats over it yes

[hushed heart]

then we got blue orb multiplayer for awhile, and eventually that turned into it's current state

[ashen shore]

But this game was born a sp game
Muktiplayer just gives it a whole list of issues, I didn't name everything

[hushed heart]

tbf you can just turn multiplayer off

[ashen shore]

Even on switch I still gotta deal with them freaking orbs lol

[fair crane]

I must have bugged the reward for the Starborn Runner ship. Everything is completed and the QuickSliver NPC shows that I redeemed the ship on this save. When I try and summon it I don't have the ship.

[forest reef]

So, anyone know when we will get a body to match this dope ass helmet?

[wraith venture]

Oh weird. Did you try reloading the game?

[hushed heart]

you know how to switch ships?

[fair crane]

Yes.

[hushed heart]

no idea then

[fair crane]

I was fighting sentinels on that final planet when I tried completed the final phase I must have screwed something up. Thanks for helping.

*completing

[hushed heart]

wait, did you click on the badge for the final reward? you have to click the first 5 badges for each phase then 1 final badge in the expedition summary screen

[fair crane]

Yes they are all clicked

Including the final badge. I've completed the expediton twice now. Once on Steam and then GoG. Oh well.

It's the GoG save that bugged out

[hushed heart]

next step i would take is to make a new normal save to see if it's a bug with the expedition save or an account wide issue

[fair crane]

I can only summon the started sail ship and the sentinel ship.

Ok I'll try that thanks.

*starter

[hushed heart]

if you can't find the issue, you could install a save editor. that'll let you modify any active ships you have to see if the ship does exist in some sort of phantom state and it'll also let you give yourself the account wide reward if you don't have it for some reason

[fair crane]

Ok.

Hi everybody - what's the reward for the community progress on Research Project 5? Is it worth not finishing the expedition yet?

hah, excellent timing!

[lime plume]

Horror egg.

[hushed heart]

and 900 quicksilver

[glass vector]

oh. I totally missed that bit - sorry!

[fair crane]

I went to my main save and was able to redeem the ship so it's just the expedition save that is bugged. Thanks again for all the help.

[forest reef]

Anyone got a good lead on an underwater freighter?

[hushed heart]

use the nautilus scanner

there's also a base called underwater fraiter or something at rendezvous 5. didn't visit it but there's probably one there

was a little too generous in my earlier estimate of tier 5 completion time. if it maintains it's current pace, it'll complete around 5-6PM EST on Thursday

[lime plume]

Probably the free weekend spiked it.

[tepid grove]

how has the progress only gone up by 1% since I checked a few hrs ago

[lime plume]

Cuz slow.

[hushed heart]

it's only gone up 18% in 24 hours

[lime plume]

I wonder how many new people played during the free weekend.

[hushed heart]

whoops, wrong game

https://steamdb.info/app/275850/charts/#1m here's the correct one

[lime plume]

That's alot.

According to the chart, 20k at peak this weekend. On steam alone.

[native bloom]

I wonder if that includes the free people since that was a different package

I would have expected a larger spike honestly

[lime plume]

Which is part of why I think the first 4 went so fast.

[waxen shuttle]

if people are trying to complete the fauna for the last expedition planet i've marked one spot where i found the rare underground creature spawns

i was way off with my prediction on when it'd end.. didnt expect it to slow down THIS much considering it was pretty quick up to about 48%

[lime plume]

Don't think any of us were expecting it, but im not surprised either.

The timing seemed about right. That was around when people lost free access.

[ashen shore]

I was expecting it search my message history said back in phase 1 people going to bail because planet 5 too hard lol

[lime plume]

Don't think it has anything to do with 5 being difficult.

People have access to sentient pillars and a minotaur, with a free ai to boot.

Former disables the planet police and the latter nullifies weather problems.

[ashen shore]

Easy to say but 4 paradise planets go by in a day each
Phase 4 lagged behind by a few hours but basically 24 hours then boom
Too obvious

[velvet prawn]

Am i just unable to claim previous expadition rewards before i finish the current one

[lime plume]

You should still be able to claim em.

[velvet prawn]

I havent finished it yet

[granite frigate]

The more relaxed players like me found the first 3 optionals already completed. 4 completed near the end of tier 5. Only people doing 5 now are late starters or repeats.

[ashen shore]

Yeah as I said before mods should pin a post every expo telling people how to scan properly

Tons of wasted scans from ppl already done

Have the bot repeat the message every 30m

[lime plume]

Mods probably didn't know either.

[ashen shore]

It's the same every expo so I doubt it , the only reason this one so hype is free quicksilver and eggs

[exotic fiber]

i was finally able to start the expedition today. and whoever told me how much fungal mould I'd need to transfer over from my main save when starting lied... by a factor of 800

maybe a lot more

they said i'd need 200 fungal mould. they should have said 20,000 😠

[native bloom]

What m

[lime plume]

Why do you need 20k of em?

[native bloom]

You only need it for one thing that I recall

[granite frigate]

You need about 50 for the liquid explosive

[exotic fiber]

At least I was smart enough to not take them seriously. I brought a little under 5k, which refined into almost enough nanites to copy over my multitool

[native bloom]

I think it's 200, but I could be thinking of cactus flesh

That's not what the fungal mould was for

[lime plume]

The cactus flash suggestion had nothing to do with nanites.

Or fungal mold.

[exotic fiber]

i planned to copy over my ship too, but due lkiterally no one in this discord channel knowing how to give proper advice, that will not be aoption at all

[native bloom]

Then you can take over as the resident expert...

I'll make sure bk is aware he sucks at advice

[lime plume]

If you need nanites just scan everything on the first few planets.

[granite frigate]

I just ran with the default multitool, and even kept all the upgrades so I can transfer them back to my main save (I hope). Even get a free A class later.

[native bloom]

Yeah I just used the default MT

[warm sigil]

Where exactly is the final rendezvous point? The storms and evil Sentinels are making it impossible to find.

[exotic fiber]

I asked several times here how much fungal mould to bring over to turn into enough nanites to copy over both my ship and my multitool. I was very clear both times that that was my question. No one ever answered me accurately.

Really, only one person ever bothered to answer me AT ALL and that was the person who said "200"

[warm sigil]

I think it depends on your ship's stuff. My Multitool cost almost 2,000 nanites to duplicate.

[lime plume]

They probably misread and thought you meant for the explosives.

[waxen shuttle]

you mean runaway mould?

[lime plume]

Plus how many nanites you need varies.

[native bloom]

#nms-expedition message

Runaway mould would make more sense for nanites

[exotic fiber]

most people just said "well I dont copy my ship or multitool and I finished the expedition in 5 minutes with both hands tied behind my back, so obvisouly it's so easy that you shouldnt need to do anything ahead of time to make it easier for yourself. (Obvious hyperbole but that's kinda the gist.)
Well news flash people, I'm not you. I have difficutlies that other people don't have. Just because some of you are super-elite-sklled, doesnt mean that everyone else is, so if someone asks for help to make it easy for themselves, instead of trying trying to act all better than them or make them feel stupid, try to help them by actually answering their questions!!**

[velvet prawn]

For some reason when u go on a new device u gotta reload your old expedition saves to get the rewards registered

[exotic fiber]

I've been dealing with this crap in so many online spaces for so many years and I cant stand it any,more

[lime plume]

Some people only needed like 1000 to copy their ship or tool, for others it was 2000 or 3000.

[lime plume]

I don't know anything about that then, sorry.

[native bloom]

Saying I used the default MT doesn't say anything about you. It doesn't say you don't need or want your old MT, or that your bed to get better

It just says what I used

[exotic fiber]

it's still a totally useless reply

[native bloom]

And your second time asking about fungal mould did not mention nanites or ships or MTs at all

I just did a search

You asked how much fungal mould. 200 is the correct answer

Oh I thought you meant the community milestone sorry

[lime plume]

Not about being able to transfer ship/tool/items.

[native bloom]

Misunderstanding

[lime plume]

All good.

[velvet prawn]

I think yhey should just allow you to do expeditions in your normal saves anyway

[native bloom]

They want the experience to be balanced and controlled

This is a good compromise

[tame nacelle]

that is the discord bot. have look to #bot-spam

[lime plume]

Plus expeditions are their own contained stories.

[tame nacelle]

ah sorry misread. read what is that foe XD

[lime plume]

They did it the way they did for a good while for a reason.

[tame nacelle]

For phase 5 are 4 weeks left. So with the option to return to main save you could do several things while waiting:

1. Do expedition save some achievements (words, scraped ships) to bump up end of expedition rewards
2. Do QS quests on Nexsus to bump up returned QS
   2.1 Double the QS by switching to main save and do QS there as well 😄

[quasi prawn]

whats the point of optionals when ive completed the expedition?

[tame nacelle]

@quasi prawn just extra rewards

[native bloom]

Eggs

[lime plume]

Horror egg and quicksilver.

[quasi prawn]

just for the expedition save or all saves?

[lime plume]

The former is most likely for all saves.

[tame nacelle]

Egg for all. QS deepends: If you used your main account to start will it shipped over. If you do not use your main account: I heared that if you buy cosmetic (not consumables) can you claim them for free on any other save.

[muted lance]

Ugh I feel like I've been warping back to back for the last thirty minutes and I'm still not at rendezvous 2

[tame nacelle]

Spacestation -> Teleport to RDV1 -> Warp from there. Is only 2 or 3 warps from RDV to RDV

[muted lance]

Sweet thank you so much 😅 I was using up my cells

[tame nacelle]

You are welcome. You can use that for any RDV. If you are lost by doing other milestones: Return to last RDV you did

[lime plume]

The black hole jump really throws people off, lol.

[muted lance]

Agreed I think that's really what screwed me 😂

[muted lance]

And thank you lots

[tame nacelle]

Always a pleasure

[native bloom]

Yes, quicksilver purchases are account bound

Black holes in expeditions are weird

[tame nacelle]

See it differently: With the free trial weekend was the expedition like a tutorial about what the game has to offer. Hence also the floatin frighters along the path 😄

[native bloom]

They usually (always?) go to fixed places on the expedition

Some of the previous expeditions they would take you back to the first system

This time it goes to RDV5 system I think?

[tame nacelle]

Yep

A Final Portal destination.

[tame nacelle]

As you are close to RDV2 maybe some hints are welcome:

1. If you used your main save to start your expedition will you be granted with rewards afterwards to switch back to your main save. It comes all along what you did in the game next to the expedition. Like ships owned (even while scrapped), words learned, planets discovered, bases built, etc
   Those should stick also with you IF you started a new save for the expedition and decide to keep that as your new main one (auto convert to normal save afterwards)

2. RDV2 has a floating frighter above the questpoint. Check your quest log to always have RDV2 selected. If it askes you to board a "frighter" let it not distract you - it is a trap.

3. With this expedition will rewards for inventory be offered to autoapply to exopsuite, multitool and ship. If you do not like to apply it: Cancel the offer and you will get the items to upgrade in your inventory to be able to upgrade in any spacestation (or even ship it to your back to your main account)

[forest reef]

How does one get a Sentinel ship again?

[empty gate]

The freighter is not a trap but ok

[tame nacelle]

The floating frighter above rdv2 has nothing to do with RDV2 but the questlog will auto switch to board the floating frighter if you are near RDV2. You can repalce trap with "distraction from objection to reach RDV2"

[tame nacelle]

Kill Sentinals or do Milestones until you get a KI Signal Item. Use it and follow the signal.

[forest reef]

I got a Sentinel boundary map.

Is that it?

Nvm, it's the AI thing.

[tame nacelle]

Yeah AI - Sorry german slipped through hence KI 😛

[forest reef]

All good.

It's legitimately been like a half year since I got a Sentinel fighter, so you definitely helped more than you can imagine. Linguistical slip notwithstanding

[tame nacelle]

For me was it the first sentinal ship I ever got. And I got it by pure luck 😄
"Oh what is that Item? Never saw it on previous runs... mhmh technically I shall do some milestones... on the other hand... why not?"

[muted lance]

Even more thanks! 🙂

[forest reef]

So, is the new ship any good?

[tame nacelle]

Is now my main ship with 80k DPS weapon 😄

Unique ships never get custom cockpits, at least not yet

[wooden snow]

So do I keep everything including my bases when I go back to my main save and end the expedition? I don't have patience to wait to 100%

[lime plume]

You can copy one multitool, one ship, and deposit some mods and resources to bring over. Everything else converts into credits.

If you wanna copy more multitools or ships you'll have to go back and forth a few times before you officially end it.

If it's a fresh save tho you do keep everything.

All the mods in the multitools and ship you copy over stick.

Dunno about the bases tho.

[fossil token]

You think they put this land formation at the 2nd rendezvous on purpose

Is it fine if I activate this while in my freighter control room?

Does desolate not count as airless? (The photos)

No you have to be in space

Now to wait for the final optional mission

[tough plank]

Do some planets have like hour long nights?

[mellow badge]

whats the command to see expedition end date? i havent played for a bit (been reading and sleeping)

[tough plank]

it tells me exosuit health at maximum buy looks like it's only at 20%...

[lime plume]

That's not your health, that's your life support.

[wraith junco]

Use oxygen

Life is the squares in top left

You recharge it from quick menu

[tough plank]

ah oxygen isn't the easiest to find so I try and save it up

[tame nacelle]

do not know the date but it will be around 3-4 weeks from now

[wraith junco]

If you click the scan pulse it should high light nearest oxygen icon

[tame nacelle]

kill dangerous fauna. they will provide oxygen

[tough plank]

ok cool ty

[lime plume]

Use life support gel.

[wraith junco]

Flora*

[tame nacelle]

ah sorry yes flora.... need a coffee. to early and was at the vet an hour ago XD

[lime plume]

Di hydrogen and carbon is very plentiful.

Plus containers randomly have di hydrogen jelly.

[blissful hamlet]

Honestly what I’ve realized while going through this while expedition is that apparently I just need time to organize my inventory

Also, somehow I encountered a glitch where the game just, keeps giving me Emergency Signal Scanners

[lime plume]

If you're struggling with inventory space, visit an exosuit vendor every time you visit a new system.

[blissful hamlet]

It went up to 50 and I had to clean my inventory every 5 minutes-

[blissful hamlet]

Ye i know, just, I was kinda blazing through the entire expedition because I was scared that I’d just miss out again-

[ashen shore]

14,100 quicksilver
I'll have 15k or 16k from thus expo depending when it ends

[blissful hamlet]

In total the entire thing took me about 16 hours or so

[wraith junco]

No need to rush it

[blissful hamlet]

Kinda too late since I already can just, transfer everything I gained to my primary save

For now I’ll try helping with the last optional mission-

[crimson rose]

Your gonna be able to unlock sooo much grass.

To anyone struggling to find a "Bizarre World" for the final phase, here's the world and portal co-ords I found

[low jackal]

Do you start with all the glyphs in the expedition?

[blazing fossil]

No

You get one from the grave milestone

But otherwise you have to find all of them

[ashen oyster]

If you need the exotic planet for the milestone jump through colored stars, they have increased chance for them, red has the highest chance, blue the middle, and green the lowest

[rough turtle]

was i supposed to land on the freighter at the beginning of the expedition?

You don’t have to

[calm pilot]

Hello, I would need some help finding a sunken freighter in the expedition. I've been trying to scan different planets with oceans with the nautilus, but I've had no luck or I'm blind. Does anyone know a certain place where I can find one?

[molten rune]

In Nautilus use sonar

[calm pilot]

yes, that's what I used but nothing would pop up on my map

[tame nacelle]

check regular the portal in spacestations. some players named their base "sunken frighter" so I found it on two different saves

[calm pilot]

oh, that's smart! thank you, I'll try that

[tame nacelle]

I would not call it smart 😄 Was previous a switch player and moved to xbox. So it was like "multiplayer... alright let us see what kind of stuff I can do - oh milestone done noice"

[calm pilot]

I didn't think to check that, so for me, that's was smart of you

[chilly trench]

Gm Guys, so I created a new game for this expedition, but I read later that you can also play this from your main save, I just finished phase 2 do yall recommended to play this again from the main save?

[tame nacelle]

Yes and no. Main save offers you to bring back nanites, qs and units as well as technology + used ship and multitool.

If you enjoy the expedition you can finish on new save and run it again with main save. Difference: You can directly claim the atlas multitool and the expedition ship which will make your life easier on 2nd walkthrough.

[neon osprey]

so if we went in with an existing save we'd get back all currency, the active multitool/ship, would they have all the upgrades you put onto them? what about inventory space you gained in the expedition?

man this % took a nose dive in speed.. been avoiding doing too much on my main save outside the expedition since idk how things will get effected..

[tame nacelle]

Techs are copied (will cost nanites) cargo is not. ExoSuite is also not.

If you really like to have the inventory upgrades: Cancel autoapplyment which will grant you the items for it and move them via terminal to your main save

[neon osprey]

eh i kinda sold them all assuming that since they were items they would just be converted to units anyway 😂

probably wont be copying over my ship/multitool since i could get it for free in my main save, may as well save the nanites lol

wish i knew earlier about the inventory slot items being carried back over but it is what it is

[tame nacelle]

Copy the tool/ship will copy over the installed techs... you know by interface you can only select 8 techs. with copy can you have 8 + as many as MT and Ship allows. Does not need to be a working MT or Ship no? 😛

additional: If you copy the expedition reward ship (with the very rare tech) to main save can you have a 2nd one claimed. So you can have legaly 2 of the rare techs

[kindred mesa]

This happening to anyone else?
The starter-ship has been scuffed on both my main-sub-save and the separate expedition save

[remote thunder]

i didn't experience this

[jagged sedge]

I wonder what 'scuffed' means

[lunar field]

Hi, looking into going in the expédition and I want to transfer some tech for my suit, will I be able to transfer it back into my main save once I am done with expedition ?

[fringe agate]

Messed up

[jagged sedge]

I've always created a new file for expeditions, so have no idea

[remote thunder]

yes, as long as you don't forget to (repackage them)

[jagged sedge]

Oh, ok - thanks

[lunar field]

So I need to go into the expedition, claim the tech, do the objectives then return to expedition terminal to send back the tech to my main save ?

[wraith token]

If i clone my multitool will it be in every save

With upgrades

[hollow shore]

Are you referring to the Atlas Sceptre?

[wraith token]

Si

[lusty slate]

Some of us aren't boys, but OK. 😉

[hollow shore]

@wraith token You can only get a copy of it, with the exact tech installed, when you started the expedition with an existing save to take that copy when you finish. The Atlas Sceptre is however globally unlocked as an expedition reward. So you can get it on every save by visiting the QS Shop on the Anomaly. You will then only get the default Atlas Sceptre (basic tech)

[rough turtle]

i cant interact with this interceptor, is there a fix?

i have multiplayer off

[ionic karma]

Need help its not working even though it's in order

is it because of this base?

[wraith token]

If i clone my ship will it be available in every save

Does the expedition reward a ship

[gusty ingot]

Yes, once you complete all phases

It can be claimed on all present and future saves once

Just like the multitool rewarded for completing phase 3

[wraith token]

Is it good

[frosty pine]

The cloning feature is a 1 time feature for each different ship, and only between the expedition save and the normal save from where you started the expedition.

[gusty ingot]

In my opinion, yes. It is very manouvrable and also pretty fast, plus its S-class as soon as you claim so not bad

[ashen shore]

Is it just me or has the community research project part 5 slown down more

[frosty pine]

Because we now depend on new people doing the scanning

It's not like with previous expeditions that you could contribute more daily

Either that, or make a new save and get all the way to planet 5 to do the scanning again 😂

[ashen shore]

I wonder if hg will take pitty and just complete it for us

[blazing fossil]

…you sure you’re doing math not meth?
(Joking)

[frosty pine]

There are a lot of new people to NMS that are going through the expedition slow, so that may contribute after they get there.

[ashen shore]

[ashen shore]

Sigh the last one is 13 not 14

Learn math not meth

[frosty pine]

Math is nice

Just thinking that 0.9999... = 1 is cool

[ashen shore]

The whole universe is math and there is no creator or god it's just math

[frosty pine]

It's not mutually exclusive tho. God may have just used math to order the universe 👀

[ashen shore]

[cosmic plume]

maybe they stayed up all night scanning R5 and the numbers are just a blur

Either that or they are just slow

It's also the weekday and a lot of people are working. Plus the free trial's over. So no more casual players contributing.

Hardly working. Always.

[woven shadow]

I did my bit I scanned all the fauna on the terrible planet with all the Sentinels

Oh do you mean actual work

No comment

[median sparrow]

Now scan the rocks and the flora

[cinder zinc]

Now go to the other side

[woven shadow]

I scanned most of those

If not all of them

Underwater ones too

[ashen shore]

I'm hardly functioning with how slow this expedition is going I already scanned everything on the planet

[median sparrow]

So come back later lmfao

[lusty slate]

Also, RD5 is an aggro Sentinel planet. Not everyone is going to be willing to stick around and scan more than 3. Not everyone knows about using pillars.

You are kinda clueless even if you find a sentinel piller you still need to kill sentinels because you can shut them down with the piller

[lusty slate]

...you don't need to kill Sentinels to shut down.

[woven shadow]

On an aggressive Sentinel planet? You do

[ashen shore]

Yes you do I had to the piller is locked down until you do

[lusty slate]

Run up to terminal, shut off. That's it.

[cinder zinc]

Someone probably killed them for you

[woven shadow]

If the Sentinels are aggressive the pillar will shut down until you fight off all the waves of them

And then you can shut the terminal down

[lusty slate]

I've shut off Sentinels twice on RD5. Just walked up to the terminal.

[ashen shore]

What sentinel piller did you go to did it have a small base near it

[lusty slate]

If you teleport to a pillar from the station, it'll just drop you next to the terminal.

Yup

[ashen shore]

Then you are completely wrong

💀

[lusty slate]

Okay, going to work now, later.

Not wrong. Did it that way both times.

[frosty pine]

You can just shut down pillars 👀

[ashen shore]

If you went to the sentinel piller with the base and there was no sentinels to fight that's because I was the one who killed them all I went to the planet and went through all waves and disabled them destroying all sentinels on the planet

[frosty pine]

I don't remember ever being needed to fight

[cinder zinc]

Just start beef with the sentinels and after 5 waves they leave you alone

[frosty pine]

I know that

[blazing fossil]

You don’t need to fight any sentinels to turn of the pillar

[ashen shore]

Omfg yes you do did you not read any of the messages here

Did you not read my message

[blazing fossil]

If you just walk past the sentinels they won’t attack and you can kill them

Is that so hard to understand?

[ashen shore]

I had to fight them to activate the piller it's locked until you do

[ashen shore]

On a AGGRESSIVE SENTINEL PLANET

No you are wrong

[frosty pine]

You just blow up the 3 generators

You don't need to fight the sentinels

[ashen shore]

It asks for a fight after that

To disable the lock

[frosty pine]

[blazing fossil]

That’s not right

[ashen shore]

How come nobody knows this

[frosty pine]

Now i need to go and try

[blazing fossil]

Have you heard of this funny thing called cloaking device that lets you walk past them and talk to the terminal?

[ashen shore]

Were is mythos when you need them

[ashen shore]

That doesn't work I've tried

[blazing fossil]

@neat latch I don’t really know why but apparently someone needs you

[frosty pine]

It also lets you blow up waves and waves of sentinels without ever getting hit, but that's a different discussion i guess 😂

[blazing fossil]

I’ve tried and it worked

[neat latch]

What?

[blazing fossil]

Wolf said “where is mythos when you need him”

[ashen shore]

Do you have to fight sentinels to use the sentinel piller

[neat latch]

Lol! Wassup?

[ashen shore]

Because I did it locked me out until I did

[neat latch]

If engaged, and they’re after you, yes.

Otherwise no

[ashen shore]

On a aggressive sentinel planet they are always after you

[neat latch]

No, there is a rime duration when they’ve not noticed you.

[low jackal]

just speedrun there and turn them off

literal Kingsman kill switch

[frosty pine]

Yep just tried it out. Just went to the planet 5 pillar, all sentinels around, and it shut down fine

[neat latch]

Just find the pillar, interact

[ashen shore]

Then why is it every single time I've done it since the beginning of nms for me it's always been locked out until the sentinels are dead regardless of wether they have seen you or not

[blazing fossil]

You’re not fast enough

That shouldn’t be so hard to understand

[neat latch]

aggressive sentinel took notice of your presence.

[ashen shore]

What im saying is even if they don't see you the sentinels are what lock the piller down I've been playing nms for a while and it's always been this way so unless switch nms is different from other systems I'm confused

[pallid pumice]

oh my god. Im out

[neat latch]

[wanton frigate]

The only difference in the Switch version is that if you jump on the Sentinels's heads they turn into nanintes.
I'm on Switch, I just walked up to the pillar and activated it, after digging a long hole to sneak up on it, btw

[ashen shore]

Did they change the way it works or something btw I play on normal difficulty does that matter

[cinder zinc]

Walks in and immediately left

[blazing fossil]

So you’re saying that you have a different version to everyone else
Mythos says that’s not how it works
I say that’s not how it works
Multiple others say that’s not how it works

[ashen shore]

?

[median sparrow]

I'm kinda hoping it stops at 99% until the last day.

[ashen shore]

Then why does it still happen to me for me it still requires destroying the pillers

Is my game broken I'm playing on the latest version

[frosty pine]

Ohh ty. I thought that i was crazy. It was really needed before 😂

[ashen shore]

And I'm playing on normal difficulty

Like why does it still ask me to destroy the pillers

Even when there is no sentinels

I don't get it

[cerulean olive]

Just done the disabling sentinel pillar on Switch. Works exactly like everyone is saying. No need to deactivate the 3 smaller pillars.

[ashen shore]

Then my game is broke

[frosty pine]

It should work just like that

[abstract crown]

Hello travelers, does anyone here have the names of all the planes where the meeting points take place? I need them for the optional milestones, would be much appreciated. 👀

[frosty pine]

[ashen shore]

See that doesn't happen for me wtf

[cerulean olive]

Look at the space station teleporters. The rendez vouz space stations mention which rv point thry are in now.

There was a bug in the game for the quick silver guy that forced you to have nanites to claim the expedition rewards from him but this doesn't happen to me

There hope you understand now

[ashen oyster]

it's a visual bug it shows you need them but you can claim them without having any, it shows 1400 cost but you can claim with 0

[remote thunder]

that bug used to be there

[ashen shore]

It doesn't happen for me at all it's all normal

[ashen shore]

Yeah didn't it happen when the new expedition system first dropped

[remote thunder]

iirc, trying to claim my runner on my creative save, showed 0 for nanite costs

[ashen shore]

Everyone was talking about it then

[ashen oyster]

first i saw was expedition 11

[remote thunder]

it's been a visual bug for older rewards even

golden vector for example, utopia speeder as well

iirc even twitch ships

[ashen oyster]

i just realized i finished this entire expedition in just over 3 hours

[remote thunder]

but it either got fixed "for" exp12, or options/difficulty/purchases is affecting the value displayed

[tame nacelle]

WOW. Just WOW. And I used the base ship for 2nd and 3rd save to scan RDV5 for the community cause of that

[remote thunder]

not sure if it will display 0 on other difficulties or an actual price

as already mentioned though, it shouldn't require/deduct nanites when doing so

[ashen oyster]

it shows me a price of 1400 on exp saves but it still costs 0

[remote thunder]

still the same visual bug then yeah

[ashen shore]

It doesn't happen to me at all

[ashen oyster]

let me try and beat that timer of 3 hours 35 minutes to finish the expedition

To be fair we sent our messages at the same time I wouldn't of sent that in reply lol

I want compensation if it doesn't start going

[ashen oyster]

i don't remember the last time i saw a community goal finish on time honestly

but this one is easy and doesn't take too long i have a feeling a lot will do it, it's definitely slowed down but it went up 12% in the last day and 50%+ the day before, i have faith it will be done

[remote thunder]

server side, right? who says the devs aren't switching a completion knob, or have different ratios

[ashen shore]

I've seen lots of community goals not finish
I care this time because now I use switch because there's no multiplayer and I want the nightmare egg

[remote thunder]

we've got like 4 weeks left

[ashen oyster]

how do i get my own pirate dreadnought?

[ashen shore]

We must force people to fully scan phase 5 even underwater and underground

Grab the bats

[ashen shore]

I already have mine

Lets do it

[compact osprey]

I am literally only missing one mineral and 2 plants it’s driving me insane

[tame nacelle]

Or you group up with some people where 1 is staying in RDV5 System and 3 others restart the expedition and use the anomaly to come to RDV5 System.... rinse and repeat

[ashen shore]

We need a 1000iq emoji in this server

[remote thunder]

in short, trigger the next rescue battle - remember that in expedition, rescue battle requirements might be different than 3h +5 ship warps since the last battle, so just be sure to always exit ship in station to restore point before warping out of the current system - if the next warp triggers the battle, and there's no pirate freighter, reload restore point, and this time warp to an outlaw system

[ashen shore]

Holy shit I support you in this endeavor

My PS4 already put away lol

[remote thunder]

@ashen oyster then just go about the battle as normal, pirate freighter engines, shield gen+fuel rods in 1st and 2nd trench, and once it surrenders, exit trench, and fly to tractor beams

You have to destroy the engines as well

[loud pond]

This is the first time I've gotten close to finishing an expedition

[ashen shore]

Check again tomorrow lol

[tame nacelle]

Community efford. Expedition started with a free trail over a weekend.

Still impressive that we are 1 week in and have 4,72 out of 5 achieved.

[loud pond]

That's true

[ashen shore]

Tbh the free trail players counted for up to phase 3 at the most

Everyone was scanning planets as they got there which is not the right way

[cosmic plume]

idk how you'd know that

[ashen shore]

I use my amazing big brain powers of observation every single expidition

[cosmic plume]

sounds a bit skeptical tbh

[ashen shore]

Does the bar start at 0 or does it account for people's progress starting at literally any other number even just 1%

[azure light]

23/25 flora found. So close…

[cosmic plume]

expedition was alot of fun tho. was my first one, excited for more.

[ashen oyster]

i really wish my download would go past 100 kbps right now, taking 8 minutes for a 47 mb download

[spring nymph]

Yes, they're a random class. Though you have a 5% chance for an S-class dreadnought rather than 2%. And to get them to surrender, all you have to destory is the engines (so they don't escape) and the big lasers on top that are firing at the civilian fighter. They'll surrender after that.

Exactly were entering big brain mode

Next expo we need a repeating scan properly post by Gunter

[blazing fossil]

IF there is something like this

[finite ether]

How many minerals are there to scan?

[ashen shore]

There's been plenty Expos like this only difference is phase 5 reward is a big deal for switch players this time

[median sparrow]

Only cuz they won't buy a real Handheld. Like the Gameboy Advanced SP. That was the GOAT

I say we bring NMS to GBA.

[ashen shore]

[ashen shore]

That's impossible to do

Outdated tech

[frosty pine]

They did run doom on bacteria tho 👀

[compact osprey]

please start scanning guys i'm running out of stuff to do

[ashen shore]

Different game

[ashen shore]

Damn

[frosty pine]

What do you mean? You can just reach galaxy 256 during expedition 👀

[compact osprey]

at this point i'm considering doing the expedition in a permadeath run just becase i've got nothing better to do 💀

[dim mason]

Is there the right place when I have a problem to quit the expedition?

[azure light]

That’s how my pack looked after a while of just dancing around them then finally saying what else do I have this trade rocket for

[compact osprey]

i mean yea i made hella units from it

[hushed heart]

i've still never used the trade rocket. i don't see the point of it with how much inventory space we have now

[neon osprey]

how many minerals and flora are on the 5th rendevouz planet? im at 17 flora and 19 mineral

[frosty pine]

Farming units or nanites on the expedition doesn't really make sense, considering you could be just doing the same on the normal save 😅

[azure light]

I mean, I could hold onto it but I like tidy storage. And if I’m going to sell it anyway, why go somewhere to do it.

[compact osprey]

they cross over to the normal save

[compact osprey]

i think

[frosty pine]

I know. That's why i'm saying it

[cosmic plume]

Im waiting to convert till after the last community goal

[frosty pine]

They transfer as they are. So you could just farm them on normal save while waiting for the milestone

[compact osprey]

my main save i just started as a survival save so this expedition is where i'm getting most of my materials until this last community objective is complete

[cosmic plume]

i assumed we couldn't get the last community goal if we converted back to normal

[frosty pine]

It depends on what type of expedition you started. If it's an expedition started from another save, you can go back and forth between both modes as long as you don't use the "End expedition" option.

[cosmic plume]

oh I see. I did not know that

[hushed heart]

you can go back and forth if you started from the anomaly too, you just click the option to return to your main save instead of end expedition

[frosty pine]

Yea, that's what i said 👀

[hushed heart]

you said if you started from another save

[frosty pine]

And you start it from the anomaly terminal 😂

[cosmic plume]

another save does imply that you started the save on expedition which i think is why they clarified

[wraith token]

What's the cookie recipe

[remote thunder]

sugar dough+anything e.g. impulse beans

[wraith token]

[frosty pine]

It's not telling me

Now it is

[remote thunder]

cycle through hints, most of them allow skipping now

[neon osprey]

think im done with scanning this damn planet xD

cant find the last few i need, 19/25 and 20/24...

[hard talon]

How’s the progress looking on that optional milestone?

[neon osprey]

very slow.

73% at the moment, going up a bit every few hours..

[dark cliff]

Stuck on Xenobiology,looking for exotic planets/animals

[civic otter]

Aaaaand here we go. Phase 2 guys, **Resist **or **Surrender **to the Atlas, this is the definitive choose i still need to do that will impact permanently to the game. I don't know that to choose

[warm grove]

New player so this question may be stupid. I was doing the part where I get to the crashed sentinel ship I'm supposed to repair and there were multiple bases built all over it so I couldn't access it.
I tried reporting them but they didn't all vanish so I logged off and back on. However now the ship is no longer there, I don't have they quest in my log, and the AI core has already been used. Is there a way to get another one to restart the quest?

[blazing fossil]

Red systems

[summer nest]

Kill a sentinel dreadnought and you get another ai core

Jump to another dissonant system and use it, so you can avoid the over populated worlds

[frosty pine]

Or kill 5 waves of sentinels on a dissonant planet and it will also point you to a ship

[dark cliff]

Thank you!

[cerulean olive]

If you find things going too slow, create a new exp save, rush to rv5 and start scanning. Can be done in less than an hour.

You just need to farm a few mats, build a base to get the hyperdrive, and then you can start rushing to RV5 for scanning.

[lusty slate]

I'm back, on break. Did the whole Sentinel pillar fiasco get sorted?

[hard talon]

what sentinel pillarfiasco

?

[hard talon]

[frosty pine]

Yea, it does indeed let you disable it with no fighting at all

[hard talon]

That’s how it’s always been though right

?

You just use the console thing

[lusty slate]

Nexus pillar missions make you fight a few to complete it. But outside of that, yes

[frosty pine]

You needed to destroy the 3 generators when pillars got released. But other than that you never really needed to fight sentinels

[hard talon]

Ohh

[frosty pine]

And now you don't even need to destroy the generators

[hard talon]

tbf destroying the 3 things makes sense

[neon osprey]

i still destroy the three generators just to piss off the sentinels before i shut them down lol

[hard talon]

[nova jay]

I finished this exploration yesterday.
Mistakes I made: prepared for battle
(There were no scenes for fighting...)

[hard talon]

Unlucky bro

[cerulean olive]

They are pixels. They don't give a sheet. 😄

[hard talon]

I took my time with it, started on day one but I haven’t finished yet, waiting for the optional milestone

[warm grove]

@frosty pine like 5 waves on the ground that spawn?

[neon osprey]

i can imagine that they get pissed off with the way they just immediately lock onto me 😂

[hard talon]

But by taking my time, I’ve made 150million, 50k nanites and travelled 11million light years

[nova jay]

in Every expedition, I make the mistake of not understund well at the milestones.

[hard talon]

it’s nice to actually enjoy the exploration

rather than rush through treat it like teh normal game

I didn’t make any extensive bases or anything, but it was nice to see parts of Euclid I don’t usually see

[frosty pine]

When you attack a sentinel on a dissonant planet you get wanted lvl 1. After you get to 5 and beat that last wave of sentinels, you get the position of an interceptor shipwreck

Same happens on a regular planet, only that you get a pillar location instead

[knotty dew]

if i collect the phase 3 completed reward without the optional quest done can do the optional later?

[spice locust]

Haven't been on yet today but has the Phase 5 Community challenge completed?

[neon osprey]

nope

[spice locust]

Gotcha, thanks.

[nova jay]

I'm not denying it, but I would like to go on such a journey in the main game.
I've just returned to NMS for the first time in a long time due to this exploration, but I've been fascinated by the new things I've learned all over again.

[nova jay]

Yes, this was the only battle on milestone! (I forgot this)

Hi I'm back in the game after the update and see I can start expedition with my main save, what will happen to all my tech and stuff?

The main save remains unchanged

You get stuff back from the expedition into that main save after you finish it

[terse loom]

If i go to the expedition terminal on my existing save n start it there, ill keep all my stuff on that save right?

[blazing fossil]

Yes

[terse loom]

Oh nvm the question was already answered

Still thank you

Question for my partner: when is a normal expedition save (new game) being converted to be a normal safe?

Why is there 50 communication things at this expedition site for phase 5

After you claim all the milestones rewards (including the optional ones).

[dark cliff]

Yeah when you scrap a ship you get scrap, valued at x amount of units. You have to actually go sell the scrap to get the units.

[low jackal]

you know you can like

detele the items

instead of the save

[frosty pine]

You probably had multiplayer on and was on the anomaly 👀

[proper saddle]

Seems about right

[dark cliff]

Should I wait until the community progress for Optional Milestone #5 is complete before I cashout out the expedition?

[blazing fossil]

Why not just delete the items lmao

Also this is expedition channel

[proper saddle]

Some people give metal for free for you to sell or use

[cosmic shuttle]

I'm only missing one singular animal, the underground one in the south,

[rain raven]

You could have spent that easily at the scrap dealer on Emergency Broadcast Receivers and either given them out or deleted them. 600 mill isn’t even all that much money in this game.

[ashen shore]

Man it really sucks that it's going so slow

[cerulean olive]

Start a new save, rush to RV5 and scan the heck out of it if it goes to slow for ya. Either that or just wait it out. Shouldn't take more than a day.

[hushed heart]

actually based on it's rate yesterday, it'll take a little over a day

[cerulean olive]

I'm suspecting it all being nothing more than a timer HG uses, instead of actual player input.

[viral valley]

This guy is straight from the aslume holy

[hushed heart]

i was thinking that too but the fact that it slowed down so much suggests that player input at least has something to do with it

[cinder zinc]

It's probably going to speed up after we get closer to the end of it because more people might be encouraged to help research the rest of it

[cerulean olive]

Or HG just wants to stretch the expedition to at least a week.

i'm betting the progress isn't determined by the number of things you scanned, it's just determined by the personal requirements for completing the optional objective. only need to scan like 3 or 4 things to unlock it

2. No need to be rude about it

and that’s coming from me lol

[hushed heart]

you don't have to use the inventory slots

New to the game, what’s wrong with being gifted stuff

[cerulean olive]

When I arrived at the planets, it said to scan 3/3, so that's all I did.

[blazing fossil]

Some people don’t want to be gifted stuff

[dark cliff]

Maybe petitioning the designers to be able to turn off auto accept would be more productive?

[blazing fossil]

(As an Eve player I’m used to it)

[hushed heart]

cheating is very common in nms. lots of people don't want cheated items

[blazing fossil]

Just don’t read the patchnotes

[viral valley]

They force the quests on you anyway and hold your hand all the way through them

[hushed heart]

not always

some quests are a bit of a challenge to find

[cerulean olive]

Turn off multiplayer, so you don't have to deal with players giving you stuff anymore.

[hushed heart]

Personally, I enjoy playing with other people, I just don't want to get my inventory filled with cheated items. There needs to be an option to disable gifts

[viral valley]

It was a joke

I have multiplayer off rn for steady 60fps on series x

Usually have it on but kept crashing during expedition

[frosty pine]

I like playing with people around. I just can't take the random gifts and all the base, beacon and comms clutter

[cerulean olive]

Disable gifts and disable invites by option as well

Then again, I enjoyed giving players void eggs some time ago.

[round panther]

i love the beacons n stuff.. epxedition is a chance to eh lets say see the community. yes its chaotic at times, but also an unique experience (for me)

[frosty pine]

This is my most prefered way to play expeditions 😂

And i reconnect to do the community based milestones

[round panther]

btw. imo the last 10 times i closed the game, it didnt close and i had to forcefully shut it. anyone else got that problem?
and yesterday when i quit, i tried to first go to modus and then quit the game. it said "connecting", then the expedition banner poped up "have fun playing" and it never went away. so again, task manager o-0
