How much quicksilver will I get

[frosty pine]

Depends of how many quicksilver missions you do

You can do your daily/weekend missions on both the normal save and the expedition

So you are in fact doubling your quicksilver earned

[wraith token]

One of my missions just says -#8262-$;;$2!+2?#

[frosty pine]

At least while the expedition lasts

[vale kayak]

I will end when research project 5 is complete.

Sentinel Quad Egg is one is my most wanted for ages

[wraith token]

Do the requirements always get met?

[tawny idol]

Hola amigos,

Does anyone have a marker i can hop onto for a stargate portal?

[frosty pine]

If you complete it you just collect the reward and the next waypoint is highlighted for you

you have to collect the reward to get the next point to travel to

No I finished the expedition completely. I want to find a stargate portal for another reason but I have no marker that leads me to one cause I am all done

there’s why you don’t have the coords then

[marble wyvern]

I’ve seen that when ending the expedition you can copy your active multitool and ship back onto your main save, is this true, and how do you do it? I looked at the terminal, copied across tech and some items, but have no prompts or ui buttons relating to ships or multitools. (I’m not bothering to wait for the community research to finish.)

You don't need to end expedition to copy MTs and ships. And you can copy multiple of each (once per different MT/ship) if you want as long as you have the nanites

After you end expedition you can only copy the last active MT and ship tho

[lusty slate]

The expedition save won't convert to normal yet as there's a community milestone still open.

[round panther]

hi ms derp is back...
cant wrap my head about the scanning thing (about what counts, how it works "in numbers")
anyway: what helps more?

• trying to find everything on rnd5 and if possible upload or
• start another exp, rush to 5th and scan stuff "again"
  (i assume scanning more on the former planets doesnt do anything, OR??)

[tame nacelle]

Anything scanned on rdv5 counts. New save shall be the same otherwise I scanned 2 times effortless 😄

[frosty pine]

I don't think we know if the progress is per person finishing the needed scanning (the 3 from the milestone) or per single scan.
I don't think we know if HG counts the progress of someone doing it a 2nd time.

Other planet scans shouldn't work because the milestone specifies the planet 5

[wanton frigate]

It's a community goal. We all finish or none finish. Just do your bit.

[hard talon]

[prime imp]

If you complete the expedition even without the community section, can you wear the helmet?

maybe I'll have to report if it's a bug because it appears locked to me

[cedar basalt]

Hm. When I go back to my main save at the end of the expedition, can I keep the ships I found? It just says 'bases'...

[round panther]

you can keep the bases??? wahahahahahaha

[cedar basalt]

That's what it claims!

[round panther]

afaik you can copy back the active expedition ship

just as you were able to copy ship and MT to the expedition

[hard talon]

Helmet is phase 2 or 3 so ye probably

[round panther]

ohh btw. a thing i didnt dare to tryout yet is:
i can see systems i visited on my main save, at space stations in the expedtion. does it mean i could go back to a base of my main 😮

(am just so afraid of doing something and regretting it because i didnt know all the details...)

[frosty pine]

You can copy all your MTs and ships as long as you DON'T end your expedition.

Go back to normal save, copy MT and ship, go back to expedition, change MT and ship as desired, repeat

After you end the expedition, the last active MT and ship remains selected and you can't go back to the expedition so...

[cedar basalt]

That makes sense. Thank you

[flint juniper]

What are those?

[remote thunder]

o2 and sodium plant clusters

[ashen shore]

I'll join you

[glass stump]

OK, I can't see to find an outlaw system. I have a Economy Scanner and can highlight the stars and get information but I have yet to see one with a SKULL. Does this now require a Conflict Scanner. Lacking that can one point to one near the 1st or 2nd rendezvous system

[remote thunder]

different species than o2 and sodium plants on their own

[round panther]

i think thats just because as said, weekends. many started on the weekend, not many were able to get to the last point. some were at the last point before it started counting (?)...

[remote thunder]

simply use ticket to freedom/under a rebel star quest

and no, eco scanner is enough, conf scanner isn't required at all

[flint juniper]

Yes I got those

[glass stump]

Is the "ticket to freedom" something you get as part of the Expedition?

Secondly, should it be that hard to find one through the eco scanner?

[lusty slate]

Also, as I said before, the free trial ended as well. That was also probably accelerating the completion speed.

[remote thunder]

Is the "ticket to freedom" something you get as part of the Expedition?
milestone reward
should it be that hard to find one through the eco scanner?
nope, but using lifeform filter (and ignoring white stars) will probably make it faster

[glass stump]

Is one lifeform better than another? V'keen (spelling)>

And as always, thanks MUCH

[lusty slate]

Ticket to Freedom is an award for another milestone.

[empty cargo]

Hey 1 more question how do I find black market planet ? I have economy scanner and red stars but none of them say black market or pirate systems ?

[remote thunder]

not about races; it's about ignoring uncharted systems, which will be colored white when using the lifeform filter. those can't ever be outlaw or anything else

Don't forget a lot of players already finished the expedition and already have the companions you can get and not bother with the optional milestones. We're almost a week in this exped and there will probably a lot less players playing it at the moment.

[lusty slate]

There's always an influx of "crap, I forgot about it" people towards the end though. 😛

[cerulean olive]

that sounds more like hopium than reality 😄

[ashen shore]

I need some of that myself I struggle with hoping lol

[cerulean olive]

I finished my first run on PS5 and another on Switch. Today I tested how fast you can speedrun to RV5 and scan the place. Took me less than 50 mins to get the job done. didn't sent anything with the saves and not copied anything.
So, if anyone fancies, you can create several new saves and do it a few times fairly quick.

[empty cargo]

Life saver

[cerulean olive]

It'll finish eventually. I've never seen a community mission fail in this game.

[remote thunder]

devs would turn a knob imo

they didn't make these rewards for players not be able to get them

[wraith junco]

They are not payed mtx

[remote thunder]

they could probably even tweak the ratio at which milestone gets pushed forward

[remote thunder]

my creative save was just fine

[wraith junco]

Did your main avatar changed look to exp one ?

[ashen shore]

How are people speed running this expedition so fast it took me 7 hours to complete

[median sparrow]

Same

[remote thunder]

progressing/completing multiple milestones at the same time; keep eyes peeled for stuff in trade terminals you'll need later; reach rdvs as fast as possible, don't back away from lower class upgrade modules until you get better replacements; be sure to move on to another objective, if one's taking too much time; some milestones reward stuff that will push other milestones to completion faster

[empty gate]

I use same character for both

same outfit or whatever it’s called

[remote thunder]

and do note, that they only mentioned reaching rdv5 in 50minutes

not completing the expedition in 50minutes

i don't think it's possible to do exp12 sub-1h from a new save or an existing save

[cerulean olive]

What would change if you do?

[ashen shore]

???

[round panther]

7 hours is still speedrun xd
i tried to be quick and goal orientated, i d say its around 15 hours now or more 🙂

[cerulean olive]

I mean, you can simply do that, without anything changing the speed of completion of the final optional milestone. You must have a reason not to switch.

[ashen shore]

Did it in eight, still took my time and tried to find every easter egg I could

[round panther]

there are easter eggs?? 😄

[ashen shore]

More so just funny moments I found and sidetracking, quite a bit.

[cerulean olive]

I didn't speed run the whole exped. I did a speed run to RV5 to scan

[round panther]

if i d sidetrack, i d use all 4 weeks to explore, build good bases to help others. and idk there is always something that happens that wants attention
(did i feed my pet?? :D)

[peak wren]

is there an easier to find wheat than walking in the scanner's direction for two hours?
im starting to go insane

[round panther]

if its for flour, i recommend kelp. in 2 steps cooked to flour

[median sparrow]

I'd just get in your ship and fly like 40 seconds.

[round panther]

many bases have cactus planeted, which makes the sugar in 2 steps

[cerulean olive]

There is wheat on the starter planet.

[peak wren]

turns out i have a lot of frost crystals which i can use to make flour pretty quickly
thanks for the help tho, didnt know you could use different stuff until now

[lusty slate]

Starter system also has all three planet types needed for Grand Tour. I had that done before I even warped.

[cerulean olive]

actually, the starter planet has a ton of stuff you'll need later. Salt, Sodium, Cobalt, silver

[round panther]

the cooking is a big chapter. i was suprised about how many things go with each other. sometimes i checked the wiki, but as with refining, just trying out what works is also fun 🙂

💀

[remote thunder]

time is a factor - but there's others - the biggest factor imo is them wanting us to have those rewards

Gotta say though, I love the intergration of expeditions to our main saves. Just stats wise mostly, but do wonder how that factors into base limits.

[vale kayak]

Sorry yeah O2 not OP, my brain is slow

[empty gate]

@remote thunder there’s extra rewards like nanites and stuff you get after you end expedition depending on standing with different races and upgrades bought correct?

[chilly steeple]

If we complete the expedition started from another save, can we then start it again before the timelimit expires?

[remote thunder]

yep

[remote thunder]

yep

[chilly steeple]

nice, they were very generous with quicksilver with this one

think I had 9k before all the tiers were completed.

[lusty slate]

I'm sitting on 13k+ right now.

[round panther]

its not much though (ok nanite is nice).
this expedition i extra refused to learn more words than needed to be quicker at rnd5.

anything that wasnt expedition, i skipped basically xd

[chilly steeple]

can't do anything with our older exp saves can we?

[remote thunder]

they're not exp saves anymore

[lusty slate]

Might go clear the words from all current stations after I do the daily QS today. Might as well get extra nanites while I wait.

[remote thunder]

when an exp ends server-side, all saves when logged on the next time after that (with internet on), will be forced to convert

[chilly steeple]

Well, I think mine are since I haven't loaded them after the exp though.

[cerulean olive]

Not from the same save you completed the exped on, though.

[remote thunder]

if you load them now, you'll be forced to convert

[chilly steeple]

Yeah, that was my point. They still "are" but /will/ if I had opened them

[remote thunder]

i seem to be able to though

(and yes, i confirm this is a save that prev completed exp12)

these are the ones that prove it (own atlas scepter, unclaimed)

[cerulean olive]

I completed and ended it on my main save. When I try to start from my main save again, I get this:

[remote thunder]

i know why i think - you finished it without full completion - i didn't, because that save ran exp12 trial runs in steam experimental, and was completed when the trial runs ended

i reckon that if i start and finish it before phase5's opt milestone completes, i'll get the same problem

[cerulean olive]

so anyone not played the experimental can not start the exped again from the same save.

which is most of us 😄

[remote thunder]

if true, this is a good thing that we caught up on it

[cerulean olive]

I think so.

[serene coral]

Can someone tell what I should bring on expedition

[remote thunder]

contraband goods worth at least 120K, 200 fungal mould+200 cactus flesh, sus packets tech/arms or salvaged glass (later unpack and sell for nanites); be sure to have your best ship and tool equipped. some exosuit modules might help

[serene coral]

How do I equip a good ship for expedition

[cerulean olive]

if you can craft them on your main save: Unstable Gel and Acid. Bring 100 cadmium too and 4 Crystaline Sulfide.

[serene coral]

Is nantes necessary in the expedition

Nanites*

[cerulean olive]

Not really. You get enough from the rewards themself, but having some extra is convenient for sure.

You get rewarded more than you'll need for the exped.

[serene coral]

How do I equip a ship for expedition

[crystal mortar]

It costs a few thousand to buy your ship and multitool if you choose to clone it before you enter the Expedition.

Nanites

[serene coral]

You can clone a ship?

[cerulean olive]

Once you have a hyperdrive, you can easily visit the first 4 Rendez Vous points, granting you more than enough nanites to pay for ship and MT copies.

[remote thunder]

that said, once you have an upgraded hyperdrive, it will be easy to go from one rdv system to the next

[crystal mortar]

You won't have access to it until after first warp when you can summon the anomaly. I built a mold base in starter system to have enough Nanites.

I preferred to get my upgraded ship and mt very early in Phases . My partner didn't clone one at all. I like options.

[serene coral]

What does it take to repair the ship at start of it

[cerulean olive]

I don't think you need the upgraded hyperdrive for the first 4 rv's. only for the 5th.

[remote thunder]

50 pure ferrite, 1 dihydro jelly, 1 hermetic seal, i forget the last one

[remote thunder]

to go from each rdv to the next - you won't be able to make it with base range with 1 warp from 1 to the next

[ashen shore]

How would you transfer that to your main save??

[chilly steeple]

I didn't. But you can do that when you end it at the terminal as far as I know. I'm waiting for tier 5 to complete.

But since it's the main save anyway, I just spent most of the QS on unlocks.

[cerulean olive]

I'm fairly sure I did make it to the 4th with only the first hyperdrive I installed this evening.

[chilly steeple]

but I think qs unlocks are for your account across all saves anyway.

[remote thunder]

i'm looking at rdv1->rdv2 right now, and it's 140LY

[ashen shore]

Man, I have a pirate dread on my exp save that I'd like to keep, but oh well.

[remote thunder]

you won't make 140LY on a base hyperdrive range

[cerulean olive]

either way, that upgrade is easy to get. Just do the Atlas Rises milestone, which takes a few minutes.

[remote thunder]

i bought a c-class module on the starter system, pushed range to 160, easy.

[cerulean olive]

You can do that in 2 jumps

Console/Xbox

[zinc forge]

Yeah

[remote thunder]

To have the Expedition Photo mission register on PS5, aside from being on the right type of planet:

• In Photo Mode
• Use the 'Share' button, depending on how you have it configured. Hold to snap a shot or single press.
• If configured to single press for a screenshot and hold to get the screenshot menu. You need to be in that menu to use the middle option to snap a shot. otherwise it won't register.
  adjust for xbox

[quaint urchin]

Make sure the mission is active before taking the photo. I tried on Xbox and didn't get credit until it was the active mission. And, for some reason my active missions change on their own...

[serene coral]

Does my ship just become available to buy in the expedition or do I need to do something before starting it

[zinc forge]

I have the mission selected and I pressed the screenshot button while in photo mode, nothing happened.

I’ll try doing it on a different desolate planet

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

it's the way you're using to get the shot

that's failing to register

any planet with rusted metal on resource list, i.e. of the dead biome, will work

[gritty sedge]

To double check, are you outside of the ship and on the planet while taking the picture?

[remote thunder]

that doesn't matter either

i took all my shots flying in my ship

the game just needs to register that you've entered atmos of the right biome

[serene kettle]

I tried using the "screenshot" button on the controller yesterday and it wasn't working, either. You have to do it the regular way, pull up the Xbox menu and hit the "Y" button. It worked perfectly doing it that way.

[zinc forge]

Strange

[remote thunder]

the "share" menu i was referring to..

[zinc forge]

Yeah that worked for me

[serene kettle]

You can knock out the Torrid and Frozen planets in the starter system.

[remote thunder]

you can do them all in the starter system

[zinc forge]

wait what

Oh right

[remote thunder]

all 3 for grand tour

[round panther]

uhh spicy icecreme
.. maybe i should go back to scanning sigh

[candid token]

When you start the expedition with your main save, it says "you will earn additional quicksilver, nanites, or units for feats accomplished during the expedition."
Does anyone know what exactly will give you quicksilver

[cerulean olive]

airless too. the low atmosphere one counts for it.

[remote thunder]

airless, low atmosphere, just synonyms for dead biome

[zinc forge]

At least I got some neat screenshots out of it

[zinc forge]

The Rendezvous milestones grant QS iirc

[serene kettle]

I'm having a time finding a reversed mirror for the Sentinel ship thing. Looked all over the planet. The scanner directed me to one of those walking things, but it had the scanner thing and not the mirror. Never found another one of those beasts the rest of the night. Ended up quitting because I was so frustrated.

[spring pecan]

i’m so confused about this

[candid token]

I mean when you convert back to your main save.

[zinc forge]

Oh

No idea

[spring pecan]

how do these even work

[candid token]

The expedition?

[remote thunder]

had the same thing happen - just take your ship, fly away a good bit, start flying low and slow

[spring pecan]

yes

[cerulean olive]

Visit the rendez vous points and scan for the optional milestones.

[spring pecan]

i’ve been wanting to get back into the game so i threw myself into this

[candid token]

You either start a new game as an expedition save. Or you convert your main save into the expedition mode.
The expedition it's self is a limited timed event with special quests that reward you handsomely

[serene kettle]

I was too tired to mess with it. I'll see if I find one quick tonight. If not, I'm trying a different Dissonant system.

[rigid basalt]

I used the freedom ticket or whatever it was called. I cannot find the outlaw system on my galactic map. However, I don’t know what to look for. How can I find an outlaw system?

[zinc forge]

Is converting a save a new thing? How does that work?

[candid token]

Yes

[remote thunder]

not sure, but i did get a fair amount of it

[candid token]

You go to the anomaly and use the computer by the nexus to deposit some stuff you want in the expedition and then start

[remote thunder]

do you have under a rebel star selected on your Log tab, before opening the galaxy map?

[serene kettle]

Make sure the mission is selected, go to the Galaxy map and follow the "Current Mission" flight path.

[zinc forge]

So what happens to all your stuff when you start it? Like your multitool and ships

[spring pecan]

what is there to do in these

[candid token]

Interesting. I was watching a video of someone and they had an entry saying "number of ships acquired xxx + xxx nanites"

[remote thunder]

that's the prev screen

[zinc forge]

You complete objectives the game gives you, and you get neat rewards that can carry over to other saves

[candid token]

The stuff is going to be at the anomaly when you make it then in the expedition. Your ship and tool don't actually go into the expedition. Instead you can make a copy of them from your main save via nanites in the expedition mode

@spring pecan check here for the quests and some rewards

[candid token]

I'm interested to see my end screen then when I convert back.

[spring pecan]

do i have to do all of those to get the ship

[candid token]

No

Wait yes

Some of the rewards are given by just completing a single quest. Or stage of quests. But the ship is the final reward for doing the entire expedition

[zinc forge]

Technically no, there’s like 5 optional milestones, but I recommend doing them anyway because they give extra rewards.

[spring pecan]

there’s no way i’m completely all that tbh

[little knoll]

Let's say I finished the expedition on a new save, then I went on my old save and claimed the new ship and red staff MT. Then I upgraded them a bit. Now I'm starting the expedition on that old save, so when I started I started with an old multi tool. Then I went into the anomaly and I see that I can clone my upgraded red staff MT. If I claim it and upgrade it some more, after finishing the expedition, can I clone the now more upgraded MT back into my old save? Thx

[candid token]

Why? You have a month to do it all. And lots of people have been able to 100% the expedition in like 2 or 3 hours

[elder yarrow]

yes, you can do that, same with a ship

[spring pecan]

i know little to nothing about the game

[candid token]

I'm down to help.

[gritty sedge]

Omega Expedition lasts for a long time, and plays like an accelerated tutorial

[candid token]

In other words it's easy

[cerulean olive]

More like 5-6 hours. 2-3 is a bit optimistic, I think 😄

[tidal pollen]

oh the expedition goals walk you through a lot of the basics

[candid token]

Check on YT

[elder yarrow]

that gives you far more free stuff than what you'd get normally

[serene coral]

Honestly all you need is the tutorial for expedition lol

[candid token]

There are speed runs of it on YT

[elder yarrow]

the all we know, Omega may just become the new tutorial....

[tidal pollen]

this was a great refresher expedition cause I was away for so long from the game, I just need the save to convert to normal now so I can check all that Echoes stuff

[wraith junco]

What should i do.
I got S class pirate freighter. But i like my venator more.
But its korvax crew
But it has gek flags
it has simliar SC setup. 3 + 1slot seperate from rest

[candid token]

Which ever looks cooler keep

[tidal pollen]

I got a s class pirate too and suddenly the expedition save became my main one, I liked it so much

[serene kettle]

The only irritating thing about the new patch is the mission scrolling thing on the bottom right. They said they improved it, but I spent more time trying to scroll it to my current selected mission than actually doing the mission. I hope they remove that "improvement."

[cerulean olive]

get it, or keep the Venator if you like it better.

[elder yarrow]

give the freighter the viking funeral it deserves cause I'm pretty certain it's not coming with you....

[median sparrow]

I just want them to get rid of the derelict freighter mission.

Tired of seeing it pop when there isn't one.

[gritty sedge]

Especially with co-ordinate maps in inventory.

[candid token]

How many missions do you have at once? I only have 3 active ones. So pressing Left on my Dpad twice selects the current mission

[remote thunder]

store charts/locators/detectors/eggs in a storage container, problem solved

[median sparrow]

That too, get rid of the missions that pop with those.

You just moved the problem lmao.

[spring pecan]

[candid token]

No some of them start fresh new saves

[median sparrow]

I don't have much interest in the egg stuff. I got my jellyfish pet so I'm set.

[candid token]

I'm looking forward to the biological horror egg from optional quest 5

[remote thunder]

i have it, worst riding position ever imo but also hilarious

[candid token]

True.

Does anyone know if the child of helios can become red or other colors?

[remote thunder]

#nms-modding only afaik

[candid token]

Rip

I thought so

[remote thunder]

(unique pets normally can't be colored)

[candid token]

Yeah that's what I saw with the robot dog

[serene kettle]

Doesn't change colors with the egg modifier on the Death Star?

[candid token]

Not all pets can be changed though

[zinc forge]

Expedition pets can’t be color shifted, they’re special

[candid token]

Some exotic pets I tried to alter and it made them invisible permanently

[remote thunder]

worm i think can be recolored.

[serene kettle]

You can still have them crank out an egg and gift it to others, though, right?

[remote thunder]

ahuh

[candid token]

Red worm here we go

[zinc forge]

You can pump them full of uranium tho, which would change things other than color

[remote thunder]

lol

[candid token]

Yeah I once saw a giant worm with wings. Ever since then I have wanted to obtain a baby of it. But I didn't do expedition 4.

[serene kettle]

Too bad you can't mix the eggs. Make a super duper Child of Horror Sandworm Helio.

[blissful gust]

well, this blows

[candid token]

?

[blissful gust]

I can;t dig up the ||freighter|| at R3, because there's a lot of bases on it without edit permission

[candid token]

You can report the bases

It should remove them for you.

[serene kettle]

Had that happen, too. Just report the bases and they'll disappear.

[remote thunder]

digging it up isn't required either - interacting with the beacon is

[blissful gust]

Yeah, I reported like 3, and there's 3 more on the list

I don't want to soend an hour reporting 30 bases

[candid token]

Keep reporting g

Like BK said it's not required to dig up

[blissful gust]

I absolutely cannot stand all the comm balls and bases in expeditions. I reported this to HG already and nothing has been done

[remote thunder]

oh something was done - it used to be even worse

[candid token]

I think you can disable all online connections with other players to avoid seeing those.

?

For example if I played offline I won't see them

[remote thunder]

no, you'd need to unplug internet to delete comm balls - sorry, the way you put it sounded like "disable multiplayer" would be enough

[woeful osprey]

im waiting for it phase 5 optional to be done

[serene kettle]

Yeah. Have to do that through the console Privacy settings and reboot, usually.

[candid token]

Me too

[woeful osprey]

it taking forever and i can't help no more

i discovered everything i could

[candid token]

Same. I did 100% of planet 5 on 2 saves already

[woeful osprey]

what about all the other planets

in the system

[gritty sedge]

I got sidetracked hard partway into Phase 2, I plan on focusing down the other goals now though.

[woeful osprey]

those count too

[candid token]

I did 100% of the other 4 as well on both saves.

[candid token]

No. Only the one rendezvous planet

[serene kettle]

A lot of people got the Horror Pet from Twitch Drops, so they're not bothering to scan the last planet.

[candid token]

[round panther]

i have to say, not that they remove beacons at all. the base blocking stuff or too many icons is only an issue at expeditions (to me it makes things even more spicy :))

[ashen shore]

Tbh switch shouldn't have to deal with comm balls or bases there's basically no mp anyway

[woeful osprey]

[blissful gust]

to me it kinda ruins the exploration part of an expedition and it just becomes a linear fetch quest

[serene kettle]

They could make it so you can't upload your bases to the system while in Expo mode. Should take care of all the Base Computer lockouts.

[candid token]

Thats true. But also on switch its kinda helpful to see the other players bases and be able to collect materials from some of the nice players bases

[woeful osprey]

yea

[round panther]

nooo the bases of others helped me to get some ressources. and to see what others built is really nice.. ahhhh

[candid token]

Play offline then

Or make a suggestion to HG about it. Or both

[serene kettle]

Are you on PC or Console?

I did make a suggestion to HG about it

Right now, I'm on PC/Steam

[candid token]

Ok

Usually when someone asks if you play on console they mean Xbox Playstation Switch...

[candid token]

Basically what I am understanding is that you want the fully solo offline experience for expeditions

?

[slate mountain]

Would be nice, but a big chunk of NMS is discovering bases and easter eggs left by other players. Even if multiplayer per se is non-existent

[ashen shore]

Nah screw that I avoid the noob belt

[candid token]

Which it is a really awesome thing that switch can see bases from all other systems.

[slate mountain]

Other option is to set your consoles into Airplane mode

[ashen shore]

You won't catch me between 600 thousand Ly and 800k

[lusty slate]

Am I the only one that likes reading comm ball messages...? 😛

[ashen shore]

500ly and below or 900ly and above is safe from other ppl

it could have been fun, but then I encounter stuff like this:

[candid token]

Simple solution. Turn off the internet to your PC for this game when doing an expedition.

[round panther]

wonderful!

[candid token]

That's the only way to avoid seeing those.

Or... be the first player to beat the expedition

[ashen shore]

I was the first player to the phase 4 system on switch

Named it and everything

Search my name by picture's I named it if you see this go away or some shit

[candid token]

That's cool. But its not switch exclusively. If you named it then you were the first player in the world to be there.

But idk if that's really true because HG discovered all the systems that are in the expedition.

[lusty slate]

Sometimes the connection to OS gets buggy.

[candid token]

Several weeks before the expedition launched

[ashen shore]

It let me name it and it's still named to this day

[candid token]

What did you name it?

[ashen shore]

If you see this go away for the galaxy & elanora was here on the planet

Still shows up on my discovery page

[candid token]

In the bottom left of the discoveries page does it say online discoveries services active?

[ashen shore]

Yes I've been collecting the eggs

[candid token]

This is the rendezvous 4 system

It doesn't have that name. And says discovered by HG

[ashen shore]

Weird for me it still says what I named it

I really thought I was first lol

[candid token]

What Is your in game name? On switch

Actually nevermind. All the plants, animals, rocks, planets, and system all say discovered by Hello Games 2 weeks ago

[wraith junco]

Rdv Systems names and glyphs are in pins

[ashen shore]

Must be a bug I posted pics when it happened and everything

[lusty slate]

As I said, sometimes it just bugs out.

[candid token]

Dang.
I do know there are some issues with switch discoveries.
I found some planets 2 years ago that when I found them said discovered by me today (the day I found them) and now they say discovered by someone else a week ago.

Also I am on switch. Incase that wasn't obvious

[queen nova]

What's the first rendezvous point

[cerulean olive]

select the milestone and the game will guide you

[frosty pine]

That's nice. So after we complete that last milestone, we can potentially farm 9k quicksilver every few hours 😂

Not per hour

[cerulean olive]

Nope. Apparently, not if you haven't done experimental

[candid token]

You just mean doing the expedition over and over?

[ancient bough]

damn, community research slowed down A LOT since last week

[candid token]

For real

[frosty pine]

If we could that's it

[candid token]

There is another interesting thing you can do instead.

[cerulean olive]

Nope. Not from the save you've already completed it on.

[candid token]

Beat the expedition, obtain as much QS as you possibly can.
Then save with a restore point. Spend it all the the QS shop. Then reload your restor point.

You'll get back all the QS you just spent and everything will stay unlocked

[frosty pine]

I'm not following you there

[cerulean olive]

Works the same with the weekend Nexus mission.

[frosty pine]

Aren't quicksilver purchases only on that save?

[ashen shore]

Come check again tomorrow

[candid token]

Let's say you have 10k QS. Save with a hard save not the auto save.

Spend all 10k. Then reload your game. The purchases you made will stay unlocked for the account. (All saves)
Then reload and you'll get your QS back

[summer nest]

Quicksilver purchases are account wide, except for consumables I believe

[cerulean olive]

and if you wanna cheat the system, you can buy stuff from the QS shop in the same manor. Buy the item, back out, reload save

[cerulean olive]

Quicksilver isn't account wide

[summer nest]

The purchases

[blissful gust]

rewards are

[candid token]

If you are trying to obtain lots of void eggs this trick will not work.
But if you are trying to unlock all the stuff in the QS shop this trick will work

[cerulean olive]

the purchase is, but not the amount you have

[summer nest]

There fixed it

[cerulean olive]

Void eggs are the onlu items it doesn't work with, indeed

[ashen shore]

Quicksilver is transferred to your main save after expedition completion though

[candid token]

And fireworks

Oh really?

I didn't know that

That means I can earn 800 per day

On my main save

[cerulean olive]

it is transfered to the save you did the exp on. Not speciifically your main.

[ashen shore]

That's what I'm saying 🤣

[candid token]

Yes. So if I used my main save to do the expedition. Once completed all the QS will transfer into my main save.

I was worried that wouldn't happen so I spent it all lol

[frosty pine]

Yea, that's why i said doing the expedition was a good way to farm quicksilver

A legal way to do so

[candid token]

But you can only do the expedition once with your main save afaik

[cerulean olive]

I farmed quicksilver legit, bought everything from the QS shop, gave other players void eggs and still have 101K QS in stash... it's so easy to get.

[ashen shore]

Also any weekend Nexus missions or Nexus missions that give you any sort of currency you can do on the expedition save and then do it again on your main save after completing the expedition meaning you can dip in on the rewards twice

Someone figured this out a little while ago

It's confirmed to work

[candid token]

Yes. So 800 per day instead of 400 per day

[frosty pine]

dailies too

[ashen shore]

Yep

[frosty pine]

It was on saturday tho 😂

[candid token]

The only thing I am a little sad about is that I didn't understand the expedition could only be done once with your main save.
So i missed out on the chance to obtain 3 photonix cores

I can only get 2 now.

[lusty slate]

I'm just planning to get two anyway. I don't have to ship slots to use the 3 exploit.

[candid token]

👍
I'm also pretty confident that some day MP will be unlocked for switch. Hopefully soon.
Then I can get a 3rd by trading.

[lusty slate]

I have a feeling if MP ever comes to Switch, I'm going to get hit up for the Switch Rasa. Lol

[candid token]

Same.

[lusty slate]

Ah, launch save?

Too bad there's no MT trading. And ship trading is now patched out

I actually got the game on October 7th. Which was the LAST day to claim those switch exclusive rewards. I didn't even know about them for like a week

[jagged sedge]

Hey guys - Do any of you know if the Devs changed the grow time for plants in expedition mode?

What's that?

I don't think so

[lusty slate]

Ship trading does work for the uniques still, I heard.

[queen nova]

[jagged sedge]

The photonix core is a NMS pre order exclusive item that was from 2016. And they brought it back with the new ship in omega expedition

The Domanish AlphaVector? What color is it, if you don't mind me asking?

[ashen shore]

It's an A class pulse upgrade

Does "Sub-Zero planet" count for the "frozen planet" photography step?

[candid token]

Do the expedition on a new save.
Go onto your main save and claim the ship.
Have that ship as your active ship.
Use your main save to start the expedition.
In your main save as an expedition claim the ship. And so you'll have access to 3 of these from that point.

[candid token]

I do believe so

[crimson rose]

Part of a duping process was to hand off valueless items as you flew into the Anomaly.

[lusty slate]

Getting gifts from players in the Anomaly, I mean. Requires MP.

[wraith junco]

Duping method that included gifting 1 of something to somebody

[jagged sedge]

Ah, I see

[candid token]

Yes. There is no Multi-player enabled for the switch system at this time. We don't even have the network tab as options

It is fun solo. But man I really do wish there was MP. So I can help friends and trade and such

i do wish switch was mp

[candid token]

It's kinda interesting too. Cause I can see bases made by players on all platforms. I can see discoveries made by players from all platforms. And vice versa. But I just can see other players. Yet

We Switch players can still interact with other player's bases, and they ours - like, sharing resource extractors and such

Whats all this about? Some ship upgrade?

[candid token]

To get 3, you would need to have the expedition ship on your main save before starting the expedition. Then select that ship as the one you want to duplicate for the expedition so that during the expedition you would get 2 of them. And then the one of your main save

[ashen shore]

Yeah apparently it's a pretty rare ship upgrade

[ashen shore]

F&$$ me I messed up then

[candid token]

I made the same mistake.

I didn't know I could only do the expedition once with my main save.

[ashen shore]

I wish I would have known about this sooner

Why did nobody tell me

[wraith junco]

Last time the photonix core was in preorder ship

[candid token]

The tech is called the photonix core. It was originally a pre order exclusive item from 2016

[woeful osprey]

what talkin bout?

[hushed basin]

My lord

That is rare

It comes with the new expedition ship?

[candid token]

I would have. Had I know myself ahead of time.

[ashen shore]

Yes

[woeful osprey]

i have to check

[candid token]

This

If I put it on a super slot my maneuverability shoots up to 1500+ from 900

[ashen shore]

Man I wish I was able to get 3

[candid token]

You and me both.

One day though there will certainly be MP on switch

[ashen shore]

Damn hg making it so you can't dupe tech

[candid token]

We just gotta wait till then

[ashen shore]

I'm going to try and find a way to dupe it another way

[candid token]

GL

[crystal iris]

anyone know where the Exotic biome is?

[wraith junco]

Idk why hg fixed duping tech. You cant trade it anyways

[ashen shore]

You can sell it actually

[frosty pine]

I still not get why the hype tho 😂

[wraith junco]

On planet with 1 animal

[frosty pine]

Isn't that just like this?

[candid token]

That's an S class upgrade
This is an A class Tech

[wraith junco]

And? I can sell and dupe other items that give tones of nanites and cash

[candid token]

You can have 3 upgrades and also the tech on top of it

[crystal iris]

I was on a mirror plane with only one fauna... but didn't satisfy the quest.

[blissful gust]

ok, so I have to reload my save after I land at every crash site, each time I visit

[candid token]

You shouldn't need to.

[frosty pine]

And why would i want that much of any of those 3 stats? 👀

[candid token]

🤷‍♂️ some people like 3k + maneuverability

[wraith junco]

My sentinel hited 4.3k

But 1.5k is good enough

[blissful gust]

every. Single. Time.

[candid token]

Well honestly your reloading situation is better than my crashing issue. Every time I see a sentinel ship (on a planet) my game crashes

[proper saddle]

How? Doesn’t the new ship have only 1700?

[candid token]

Yes. But there are other better ships than the expedition one. And you can get more / better upgrades to pair with the photonixs core tech

[wraith junco]

You can pack the tech and use it on other ship

[proper saddle]

Huh

[candid token]

Also the super slot layout on the expedition ships not the best either

[wraith junco]

Can i start exp again after i finished it on main save ?

[candid token]

If you use a new save. Yes.

[gritty sedge]

Taking on pirate capital ships solo?

[frosty pine]

I already do that? 👀

[candid token]

As far as I am aware, you can only do the expedition once with your main save.

[wraith junco]

You can take out capital ship with vanilla ship.

Destroy balls and park behind him.

Press fire and go make tea

[proper saddle]

How good could the beginner ship theoretically be?

If you max it out completely

All the best mods

Weapons

[candid token]

If you upgrade it to S class and get the best possible upgrades. Pretty dang good

[crimson rose]

Am I the only one who plays on 7-8 Saves?

[wraith junco]

All ships are upgraded are OP vs npc

[candid token]

Accounts or saves?

[crimson rose]

Saves.

[candid token]

I have 11 save files at this time.

[ashen shore]

I'm not going to be able to sleep good tonight now that I know I missed out on a rare opportunity to get 3 of the most rare tech in the history of nms

[crimson rose]

So Exp is single play per Act?

[wraith junco]

More saves more QS missions = more quicksilver

[candid token]

I'm sorry.

[candid token]

No. You can play the expedition as many times as you want per account. But only once per save

[ashen shore]

It's ok because I feel better knowing that you have to deal with it just like me

[queen nova]

Research planet five we at 75%

[candid token]

Yes.

Still.

It was at 69% when I went to sleep last night. Only +6% all day long

[candid token]

Or until MP is enabled on switch

[blissful gust]

I'm taking my time with it

[ashen shore]

Yes also I guess now this is a good opportunity for me to dupe any of my tech on my staff I have my good staff I copied from my main save so I can use it on my main save to put on the atless staff

Since this is the only way to dupe tech now I should do it with my ship tech to

For the sack of the new ship

💀

Sucks it's a 1 time dupe

[candid token]

You are limited to only 9 tech however

[ashen shore]

Until another expedition happens

[candid token]

True

[gritty sedge]

If the planet goals are non-linear, I might try to hop to planet 5 to help with progress ASAP

[ashen shore]

Pls do

[candid token]

👍 that would be cool. Do note that a single player getting the entire planet to 100% fully scanned probably will not even add 1% though.

[chilly steeple]

sorry to ask, I'm visually impaired and having trouble picking out all of it, but what is this about the photonix core and the exp? Did they have it for non-preorder players somehow?

[candid token]

When you fully complete the expedition you get a ship. Installed on the ship is a single photonix core

[crimson rose]

They stuck one in the Wipeout ship

[gritty sedge]

*Expedition reward ship, the anti-grav one

[chilly steeple]

oh, I wonder if I scrapped it not paying attention... crap better check

[candid token]

If you scrapped it. Rip

[chilly steeple]

yeah, wouldn't be the first time.

whoa, it's there 😄

[ashen shore]

Hey do me a favor dm me and tell me when the expedition community thing is done and remind me to take my tech off my ship and my multitool to duplicate it with the transfer over

[candid token]

I can probably do that.

[ashen shore]

I'm definitely going to do this because it's very worth it for me

[frosty pine]

You are limited by the slots of any ship you find around 😂

[candid token]

You can increase the number of slots any ship has for tech and cargo

[frosty pine]

Yea, but you can't copy cargo.

But you can copy as many ships as you want as long as you have the nanites

[candid token]

Huh? Copy ships?

[frosty pine]

The expedition feature 👀

[candid token]

You can only copy 1 ship through this method per save file

[frosty pine]

No

You can copy as many different ones as you want

[candid token]

Really? How?

[frosty pine]

Copy the ship, go back to expedition, change the ship, go back to main save, and so on

[candid token]

Interesting. I will try this out rn. If that works then @ashen shore we can still get 3 photonix cores

[frosty pine]

You can only copy each ship one time on any direction

So lets say you copied your main ship to start the expedition

[ashen shore]

Hmmm yes indeed

[frosty pine]

You can't copy that back from the expedition to your main save

[candid token]

Correct. But you can pull upgrades from it to move into your main save.

[frosty pine]

Yea, just stick all the upgrades into any ship you see fit and copy that ship

[ashen shore]

Thanks for the loop hole

[frosty pine]

Same happens with the MTs btw

[ashen shore]

This works with mts too

Damn

What a loop hole

[frosty pine]

Just remember to not end the expedition

Otherwise you are stuck with the last ship you had selected

[hushed basin]

So can you just copy the expedition ship several times over with that method then?

[candid token]

No

[frosty pine]

No

Only one time per ship regardless of the copy direction

[candid token]

Is there any particularly good tech on the Golden vector?

[hot blade]

For those who ain’t know

[ashen shore]

Already got that one

[candid token]

I just imported my main tool. And on my other save I went for an A class sentinel tool

[ashen shore]

Bro I just realized something crazy with this method they mentioned we can basically get as many of these rare upgrades as we want we just install them on the ship that is being copied

Creating a infinite loop

[candid token]

Yes

[ashen shore]

[candid token]

However I think 3 is max you can install on one ship

[ashen shore]

I'm talking about having it on other ships

Instead of just one

[candid token]

Also I just tested and it doesn't work

There is no option to replicate another tool or ship once you started the expedition

argh

[woeful osprey]

:(

[hard talon]

[woeful osprey]

why take long

[frosty pine]

It's to copy from expedition to main save

And it works

[hard talon]

because people are s l o e

[woeful osprey]

i can't discover anymore

i know it all

[hard talon]

scan some trees people I beg 🙏🙏

[hard talon]

Needs more people to do the same basically

[woeful osprey]

i did this at 20%

[candid token]

If I go onto my main save outside the expedition mode and change ships I cannot copy the new ship into the expedition again once I have already copied another ship once.

You only get to copy 1 ship and 1 tool one time each into the expedition

[elder yarrow]

it's wed, i'm not expecint things to start picking up until the weekend =/

[frosty pine]

You are not getting what i said

[hard talon]

I didn’t go to r5 until I had accomplished some personal goals with the expo, so I arrived at 50 ish

[hard talon]

Fair point

[frosty pine]

It's to copy FROM expedition TO main save

[hard talon]

if ur in ur main save

ye

don’t forget boys, get your 3 photonix cores

[candid token]

You would need to end the expedition to do that?

[frosty pine]

No

Just try it

[candid token]

Then yeah I'm super confused

[elder yarrow]

start a new save, do the expedition on the new save

[frosty pine]

Push "Return" instead of "End"

[elder yarrow]

speed run it to R5, then scan all the things, then end it

rinse, repeat

[woeful osprey]

i got the ship on my main save but i have a separate save for expedition

[hard talon]

i suppose it could work

but you’d need to do it quite a few times

Probably 100 or more

[woeful osprey]

maybe if others did it it might work

[hard talon]

well I’m just chilling w it now, gone back to work on my main save

I wanted to travel 10mil light years and map 10 systems, ended up doing 11 and mapping 20, so I’m satisfied

[woeful osprey]

i've just been doin other things on expedition save

[hard talon]

I didn’t want to make any huge bases really

I don’t plan on going back there in the future

I like to stay away from people

[woeful osprey]

mine will turn into a normal save

[hard talon]

I did mine on my main, so it’s just a job of transferring things over

[woeful osprey]

my base will prob be in a freighter

[candid token]

This method doesn't create a 3rd one.

So if I am using my main save in the expedition mode. And I chose to copy my main ship into the expedition. Then during the expedition I take the starborn runner ship and copy that ship into my main it only gives me 1 photonix core. (Which would be the same as moving the tech over.)
Then on my main save out of expedition I can claim the expedition reward ship giving me 2 cores.

If you didn't copy the core into the expedition there is no way to obtain a 3rd

[hard talon]

freigher base won’t transfer

[frosty pine]

I never said you could 👀

[woeful osprey]

i know
it's why i did a different save

[frosty pine]

Someone else said the thing about 3 photonix

[candid token]

That's the only reason I would want to copy a ship from the expedition into my main save.

Same for the tool pretty much.

[ashen shore]

Bro wait there may be another way I just figured out you can copy a ship from a expedition to your main it's giving me the option to

[candid token]

Yes.

[ashen shore]

It says I can copy one of the ships I got from the expedition

[candid token]

That's what deathx91 was saying

Still only 2 cores tho

[hard talon]

So to solve ur confusion, you can copy the ship from the expo save before you end the save so you can go back to the sub save, extract the photonix core and add it to the tech transfer for the end

and then claim a starborn runner as normal from expo rewards

hope that helps

[hot blade]

Yeah but did you get the invisible variant?

[frosty pine]

Oh

What Hawk said seems reasonable

There you have your 3 cores

[hard talon]

That’s without any shady methods

[candid token]

It's still 2 cores

[hard talon]

I haven’t looked into any

[frosty pine]

No

[hard talon]

No.. it’s 3

[frosty pine]

You have 1 core from the copied ship

1 from the end transfer

and 1 from the main save claim from quicksilver npc

[hard talon]

As I said, and I shall say again. You copy the ship, go back to expo and extract, transfer it over, and claim the reward ship

1, 2, 3

[frosty pine]

Let me try it out 😂

[hard talon]

Go cook man🍳

But don’t forget the fifth optional isnt done yet

[frosty pine]

Ohh i'm just trying out

I'm restoring the save file after that

[hard talon]

Oh good good

But yeah you should have 2 starborn runners + one photonix at the end of it

my eyes

[ashen shore]

Does this work with the multitool

i think it's better to stick the core on any trash ship

[hard talon]

what work

[frosty pine]

So it costs less nanites

[hard talon]

?

[ashen shore]

This dupe method

[frosty pine]

Unless you really want a 2nd of that ship

[hard talon]

you make a good point, but I’m just thinking.. wait nah that should work

[woeful osprey]

oh wow it up by 1% again

[hard talon]

hmm I think so yeah, like if you used atlas staff in teh expo, you can copy it over and extract tech modules

It’s not as essential though as photonix core is REALLY rare

whereas all other modules can be obtained one way or another

(If I’m not mistaken)

I used this video for tips in my expo if anyone wants it for reference, also talks about how to get 3 photonix cores too https://youtu.be/bLdBdbRiZUc?si=SO64Trt-8ltE_VyR

[candid token]

Unless you also have the PS4 exclusive weapon augment....

[hard talon]

Ouch

Maybe they’ll add that in the next expo 😅

[candid token]

I hope so.

I love the bolt caster so I really need it

[grizzled tide]

I think I'm missing something with the photonix core... what makes it so good?

[hard talon]

It’s one of those that doesn’t add to the 3 upgrade module max

[candid token]

There is no other way to obtain it than this expedition (unless you already had ut)

[hard talon]

You know like the ones you craft from the anomaly

[grizzled tide]

ooooooooh

[candid token]

It's a tech so it goes on top of the 3 S or X class upgrades you get

[hard talon]

So you can have it ON TOP OF your existing 3 modules

so easy W’s

[candid token]

Yes

[grizzled tide]

Okay that makes sense! Thanks for clarifying

[hard talon]

no worries

[candid token]

Anyone know a good crashed S class non sentinel ship in the expedition?

Sunken preferred

Maybe an exotic would work too if it's first wave.

[frosty pine]

Oh

This photonix core is a single install

[candid token]

👍

[frosty pine]

But i did get 3 at least 😂

[candid token]

But so If you knew about this before the expedition you could get 4 or 5?

[frosty pine]

I guess 7 if you had 3 cores alread

3 from the initial copied ship, 3 after you end the expedition and the 1 from the qs claim

[candid token]

1 from copying a ship
1 from the expedition
1 for the main save
And 2 that get moved into your main save.

Plus you can do this trick to copy one ship into your main save with another one

[ashen shore]

Wait so if I then change my ship out to another one again can I then copy over more tech

[frosty pine]

Yep

[ashen shore]

This shit is nuts

[lusty slate]

...so we could theoretically use future expeds to copy the Photonix Core again? (Set Runner as main, copy it, strip tech off copied ship and send back).

[ashen shore]

Wtf is a photoix core and why's it so good

[frosty pine]

The only thing to consider is that this photonix only allows 1 per ship

[ashen shore]

Bigger question why tf do you appear here randomly and say one thing than dip for a while??

[candid token]

This is the photonix core. It's a tech not an upgrade so you can add it on as a 4th boost

[lusty slate]

Sure, but having multiple for different ship builds is neat.

[lusty slate]

...people have lives?

[ashen shore]

Sweet ima have to figure out how to get one
