[spring nymph]

I had to fly into the atmosphere of the 5th rendezvous planets for it to give me the reward. I had already gotten the others.

[compact osprey]

hey guys so i have the phase 5 optional milestene left, but the problem is i already scanned everything on that planet before the community goal was completed

does anyone know a way to still redeem thatt milestone or will i have to completely do the expedition again just to complete it

[pastel quartz]

somewhere half way through the expedition i am able to see all nearby blackholes in the galaxy (like after getting star seed or whatever it is in the main game) is this normal?

[crimson rose]

Just go to the planet. Milestone should pop.

[compact osprey]

Still won’t give it to me

I used a save editor to go to a earlier version of the save and it worked for that, but doing that loses a lot of progress so I don’t want to use that version of the save

Is there a way to save edit myself the milestone, I’d be fine with doing that seeing how I already completed the objective

[crimson rose]

...that's weird. That's a decent chunk of QS, but nothing special. You looking for the MurderPuppy Egg?

[compact osprey]

Yea

I mean I already have all the QS rewards

I just want the egg tbh

[crimson rose]

It's not hard to score one from another player, but that doesnt unlock it for other saves. Have you jumped out of the expedition to double check that it's not availabele at the Kiosk?

I'm just spitballin here...

[compact osprey]

Yea it’s not

That’s fine I’m gonna save edit my json file and take away one of my discoveries so that I can rediscover it to get the milestone

And also change my difficulty back to survival bc idk how I didn’t change anything but it automatically went to normal mode 😒

[versed glacier]

gotta ask, when it says you get nanites and quicksilver for feats... what does it mean?

[crimson rose]

Ya know what might work? Starting a new expedition, and just fastforwarding to only that milestone. Scan 3, and see what happens?

[compact osprey]

That would work but I don’t feel like it

[crimson rose]

Well, GL. Hope it works for ya

[compact osprey]

What’s the name of the rendezvous 5 solar system

[crimson rose]

System: Amling
Planet: Boeot Prime

[compact osprey]

Ty

[versed glacier]

I'm not leaving the expedition cause of the double quicksilver, but I wish I knew what they meant by "feats"

[balmy void]

So what's the point of the whole rebooted Atlas path? Is it worth it? Because I remember it being a miserable slog the first time around.

[uncut hearth]

Hi guys may i know when is the end date for the expedition

[compact osprey]

I think 3 weeks from now

[uncut hearth]

Ok thanks a lot

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

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

[low jackal]

less than 3 weeks

[hazy sparrow]

I figured out why people build bases buy crashed ships: the ship will fly off then land at the base with an NPC pilot. If you then talk to the NPC pilot you can buy it for FREE, no mission needed.

If there's no base you can build one and do the same thing.

This was the impression I got from one of HeRo2u's videos.

[grim fossil]

Most players may not even know this and end up actually making it worse for players, or they just place a base because they think it helps everyone find the site.

For this exploit you do not need to wait for the ship to take off and land, you can place a landing pad relatively close or if you know the nearest built one affecting it, you can just save and reload and you will notice and NPC walking around the landing pad, if done correctly you can claim the ship from that NPC no need to wait.

[ripe scroll]

I can’t find the sentinal interceptor in phase 4. I activated the carrier ai and it sent me to the dessonant system but now I can’t find where the crash site is (and it is littered with other players save points too)

[wanton raft]

Alternately, there's several bases other players have setup at sentinel crash sites you could use.

[crude peak]

what do i do to document the second rentezvous world?

[ripe scroll]

how do i get an echo locator?

[jolly maple]

its a glitch, either get a another by taking down a sentiel freighter or break the things that give inverted mirrors until u get an echo locator and do what it says

[blazing fossil]

Scan 3 things on the planet and activate online discovery services

[ripe scroll]

How do I get the weapon at the harmonic camp? It says “harmonically sealed” but I unlocked the base

Oh, nevermind. I figured it out

[tough plank]

Every time I follow this expedition path, it keeps extending further and further....

where's the 2nd rendezvous location?

[blazing fossil]

Did you take a black hole?

[tough plank]

no

I did the black hole mission like several days ago

[thick umbra]

Use a teleporter back to RV1 @tough plank

[blazing fossil]

So you did take a black hole, they bring you half way across the galaxy

Take a station/anomaly teleporter back to RDVZ 1

[tough plank]

would that be this one?

[muted idol]

Why does my outfit keep reverting back to default one?

[blazing fossil]

Yes

[tough plank]

ty I've wasted hours warping lol...

also if I have an emeril drive, do I still need the indium and cadmium drives?

[blazing fossil]

Indium is the last in the chain but I believe you still need the other ones

[thick umbra]

If you have an Indium you dont need the others @tough plank

[blazing fossil]

wait what

[thick umbra]

or am I wrong .. I´ve always installed an Indium drive only

[tough plank]

is there a way for people to prevent others from coming into their base and taking all thier items?

[blazing fossil]

Storage containers are personal

[tough plank]

ah that's why these items look so familiar ig lol

[blazing fossil]

If someone interacts with your storage container they're just gonna see whatever they themselves have put in a storage container with that number

[tough plank]

I see

[grim fossil]

You are correct, having the others installed just adds a small amount of hyperdrive range.

[muted idol]

After the black hole jump, should i return back via teleporter or?

[blazing fossil]

yes

[deft phoenix]

I just finished the expedition and am trying to claim my rewards for the final milestones, but whenever that expedition-complete confirmation box appears and I click 'accept' the box goes away but the cursor stays and my game won't do anything...anyone know if I can fix this?

[blissful dawn]

There's a lot of discussion on here about that. Most platforms have a patch. if you're on xbox, there are a couple of workarounds or you can wait for the patch.

[deft phoenix]

Any info on when said patch is coming?

[blissful dawn]

hopefully soon, i think it is out for all other platforms, just waiting for xbox.

[blazing fossil]

And switch

[blazing fossil]

Check the pins

There’s an easy fix there

[agile mica]

When Microsoft approve it probably later today

[muted idol]

why microsoft?

Wasnt it steam?

So do people claim the rewards while in expedition or after?

for this one , because i see people in expedition with the new ship like what?

[agile mica]

Steam is already out only Xbox still pending

[muted idol]

Oh but i have that one

[blazing fossil]

Again
Switch hasn’t gotten the patch either

[agile mica]

Sadly Nintendo is the worst reguard patches

[agile mica]

Xbox 4.52 ?

[wide herald]

K, thanks

[wraith badge]

If you do the Exp and claim the rewards you can then start the Exp again and once you gain access to the Anomaly, again, claim the rewards ... thus you have a better ship, more storage, to progress through the expedition again

[round panther]

since the community milestone is done. what would be reasons for people to still redo the exp?

[lusty slate]

Updates and patches submitted by HG have to go through the console companies approval process first before release. Sony's fairly quick about this. Microsoft and Nintendo less so.

[umbral forum]

Extra quicksilver maybe. And the Photonix core.

[round panther]

also i ll come back later to ask some silly, 1000s times explained questions about what do check on before ending the exp 🙂

ahh yes, i already forgot again why that core is good 😄 am happy that i am a hoarder and didnt sell them (will ask the wiki later)

[umbral forum]

Although 1 Photonix Core is good enough since you only have one butt to sit on to pilot a ship. There is barely any justification to use multiple ships since they are all pretty much equivalent once fully upgraded.

Same with multitools. I only use the extra ship/MT slots to hoard cool stuff that I'm never going to use.

[round panther]

my list of ships on the main save got full pretty quick. yes, most just looked at and never used xd 2 are storage container-ships xd

yesterday it dawned me. if there are 3-4 expeditions PER YEAR and most of them (?) give a ship, dang

also, how am i supposed to progress in the story, when there is "always" and expedition and then also reduxes. pffff one or twice per years would be totally sufficent and i d be ok with it not coming with actual updates 😄

[wind oar]

Hi folks, Im new here. I wanna ask about Omega expediton phase 5. I've been jumping for almost 2 hours to reach Rendezvous 5 and still I didnt found the Rendezvous 5 planet. Does it really that far?

[round panther]

nono. shouldnt be that far
common "mistake" i hear to happen is taking the black hole as demanded. this brings you far off route

go space station and teleporter. choose a rendezvous system and continue to follow the road from there

[wind oar]

ohh okay, I'll check it right now

[umbral forum]

Teleport to rendezvous system 4 and set the warp waypoint towards the expedition goal.

[wind oar]

Yeah I didnt see Rendezvous 5, so I choose Rendezvous 4 and try continue from there

Ahh finally found it. Thanks guys @round panther @umbral forum

[ripe scroll]

What transfers over to your main save when you complete the expedition? Do you keep your nanites and money or just your modules that you bring back?

[hollow shore]

There is a pin in this channel with info about all that. have a look and let us know if you then still have questions. #nms-expedition message

[ripe scroll]

Ya, what does it mean “all ships and installed technology at the cost of nanites”? Does that mean we get these items value in nanites or we have to buy them in our main save with nanites? I’m confused. And is money you made in expedition gone too?

[hollow shore]

When you finish you will end up getting a summary and you are rewarded with Units, the Nanites, and Quicksilver. You also have a transaction inventory to place items/resources you wish to keep. This can include packaged tech items too. Everything else is basically converted to Units value which transfers

[blissful dawn]

I did this last week. I jumped 10 times or more trying to get to 4. saw someone recommend this, went to the station for 3, jumped 2 systems to 4.

[hollow shore]

@ripe scroll You can howver decide to keep your current active MT and/or Ship from the expedition through Synthesis (costs nanites). That will allow you to get those on your primary save, keeping the installed Tech on it.

If you have any additional ships, and really want proper value for it, best to scrap prior to finishing up

[ripe scroll]

So your money transfers over? So you should sell things? Or do you want to buy expensive tech and items to use up all your money and then transfer that material over?

[hollow shore]

Keep in mind, that you will be able to 'claim' the new ship and MT regardless of this decision, as they will be available at the QS shop as reward.

[hollow shore]

Yes, value and Units transfers over. It just does not handle every possible inventory you may have access to. So best to get your valuables on your exosuit cargo. Anything you wish to keep, add to those slots for transfer to primary.

No need to sell everything else first, other than possibly extra ships you may have

Having used a primary save, you get well rewarded anyway though. Just good to get things somewhat sorted prior to finishing up

[ripe scroll]

Ok, thank you

[wild cobalt]

is the weird bug fixed yet?

[tulip spire]

On pc yes

And ps4/5

[ember hollow]

sick

i can end the expedition now :3

[tulip spire]

Yea you do

Poor xbox/switch players

[ember hollow]

rip ;-;

[hollow monolith]

I already completed it

So it won't effect me

[near remnant]

Is there a best place to fight the sentinels at? And uh.. when do I know I am strong enough to kill them? Do I just.. try it and die in the worst case? xD
Man these milestones shoot me outta my comfort zone

[thick umbra]

try to be near an outpost building so that you can enter it and shoot them when they are nearby

[near remnant]

Is there a recommended planet for that?
Or… just any with sentinels floatin about

[thick umbra]

any planet with high sentinels alert does it @near remnant

[near remnant]

Okay thank you!

[thick umbra]

Yw .. and as soon as you got the milestone... stay low and wait until the search counter times out

[near remnant]

Will my wanted level be up after that? So do I have to be extra careful with them around me?

[lusty slate]

We'll probably get an extension if it doesn't. But I doubt it'll take that long.

[thick umbra]

If they dont search you .. get in your ship and leave the planet

[ripe scroll]

Finally finished the expedition! If I’m correct we will get the Starborn ship on our main save regardless of whether we take it with us at the end of the mission. So is it better to take all of its tech and switch it over to your other ship and take that one instead?

[cerulean olive]

Reload your save and the sentinels and your 'wanted' level will be gone. Easiest way to deal with it.

[near remnant]

Oh that is super convenient! P h e w. Thanks. (:

[cerulean olive]

Also, digging a tunnel to get away from them helps too, but takes more time.

[ripe scroll]

When you copy your ship over after completing the expedition does it keep all it’s technology attached?

Ok, and I assume same with your mod tool

[blissful gust]

are the optional rewards single-use items or added to my library of rewards?

like companion eggs and such

[blissful gust]

Yes, but you will need a pile of nanites to claim them

in my case a decked out S class exotic was 2800 to clone, and my Royal MT was 2200 (both S class)

[spring nymph]

Except you can also claim them for free from the Quicksilver vendor after the expedition. 😊

[blissful gust]

Claim the ship and MT I copied into the expedition? that seems odd

[stray compass]

Are we able to move a freighter over from the Expedition?

[blissful gust]

If it's a new game that started the expedition that gets converted, yes

[spring nymph]

I mean you can get them from the QS vendor, and also copy them for nanites. You can have 2 of each if you want.

[blissful gust]

If you started the expedition from the anonaly on an existing save, I beleive you cannot save the freighter

[stray compass]

Yes, it was a new save started on the Expedition.

[blissful gust]

I think we're talking about different things

I'm pretty sure my Squid with lots of tech cannot be claimed from a QS vendor in any way, any game mode

[spring nymph]

Yes, I'm just trying to say you don't HAVE to copy them (the new Starborn Runner) for nanites after the expedition. You can get them for free from the QS vendor after the expedition. Or you could have 2 of each if you also want to pay nanites to copy them.

[blissful gust]

I was talking about IMPORTING THEM INTO the expedition

[spring nymph]

Oh ok, sorry. I jumped in and didn't see the whole conversation. My bad.

[ripe scroll]

OMG do not leave the expedition with the starborn. You will lose all your attachments and have to claim it back afterwards from the mission reward section with default items 🤦‍♂️

[blazing fossil]

If you copy the Runner before you claim it from the QS guy you can keep modules

But yeah

That’s how expedition rewards work

[ripe scroll]

Oh, shoot! I didn’t know that. Lol

I saw that I started back with my regular ship. Haha that’s my fault then

You should still take a different ship with you so that can’t happen and also the Starborn is free anyways

I should have just transferred over with my other interceptor

[cinder zinc]

Only if you are transferring it to a normal save right?

[blazing fossil]

Yeah

[queen nova]

That's abit weird that never happen to me on my Xbox play in the utopia expedition

[ripe scroll]

I read some stupid comments on a youtube video guide and someone said if you transfer over with the reward ship it will come with more attachments than the one you claim. They were completely wrong and now I messed up being able to claim my custom one back because I accidentally accepted the reward one instead. Just better to not return with the reward ship

[gritty sedge]

Making small pillars as cover with the terrain manipulator helps a ton with fighting sentinels, can take them on surprisingly early with good target prioritization.
Cloak add-on is a big help with getting away from waves when things get too heated.

[hot blade]

I was able to get the reward ship twice on this expedition

I think I bought it with the 1400 nanites before closing out and then when I completed the expo I got another

I scrapped the lesser of the two

[ripe scroll]

Maybe, I did it the other way. It was my first expedition and thought I would be back with the ship. Didn’t know you had to redeem your saved ship from a certain vendor. I thought I lost my saved ship and went to get it from the reward place. Then someone said about the vendor. I checked with the other place and it said I had already redeemed the ship so I can’t collect my saved version with all my custom tech in it. I ended up losing like 7 S class mods I had put on it before I ended the expedition

Only because I read someone’s commend that said it’s better to leave with the reward ship. It’s not. I was going to just put all the mods on my drone interceptor instead. Then you are guaranteed to get the reward ship and all your tech

[jagged sedge]

The new ship looks like a recolored dustbuster -- change my mind.

[ripe scroll]

It seems a bit out of scale with the other ships in the game. It’s way bigger than most despite having the appearance of an interceptor. Maybe it needs a rescale

[jagged sedge]

Don't get me wrong, it's very nice, and shiny - but the interceptor I adopted during the expo will be quite enough for me

[ripe scroll]

Does anyone know what specialties it has? If any? It’s alright looking but I think I will still try to go for an S class sentinel interceptor. I like the look and their ability to completely stop in flight (I think the only class that can do that). It’s really useful in combat. I think they get automatic thruster recharge as well

[jagged sedge]

The interceptors don't come with launch thruster recharger, but you can install one

This is the one I used in Omega

[ripe scroll]

I mean, I thought it was an innate ability. Like with the sail ships

[jagged sedge]

As you can see above, I have one added in

[ripe scroll]

And this is me being royally fucked… no one leave with the Starborn. Take your main ship you used instead. Or this can happen

[jagged sedge]

I think I will wait until it ends on its own, I'm quite enjoying the reduced plant grow time, lol

[hot blade]

You can’t add those mods back to your inventory or switch back to your main and do it?

[ripe scroll]

No, I installed them on my ship before ending the expedition. Now, because it was the reward ship and I accidentally went to the vendors out of order I have lost all of them for good it seems (since it doesn’t allow you to accept two of the reward ship)

[hot blade]

And if you started a new expo, that would probably wipe everything for good

[ripe scroll]

Ya, I just got bad advice from someone online and am new to expeditions so ended up doing the exact worst thing

Sucks but in the end it’s only a few thousand nanites and a few trips back to the vendors I guess so it’s frustrating but not the end of the world 🤷‍♂️

[hot blade]

Depending, you might could use a save editor to get your stuff back
I don’t know how any of that works though

[carmine coral]

Think it's meant to have naturally high manoeuvrability

Cause I never focus on that and mines sat around 2k most times it 400-600

[true bronze]

anybody find a good multitool while expeditioning?

[carmine coral]

Yeah the sceptre lol

I like having a bolter with pretty much zero recoil

[ripe scroll]

Just let my mistake be a lesson for other players who haven’t finished the expedition yet. Don’t briny back either of the reward items as your saved weapon or ship. You gain nothing from doing so and put yourself at risk of losing lots of custom items. Also as far as min/maxing it also doesn’t make sense. Taking your secondary ship gets you another ship in your main save. And if you strip the reward ship and omnitool of any useful tech and put it on your other ship before you end the expedition then you will get a free copy of those mods when you recollect the default reward item anyways 🤷‍♂️

[ripe scroll]

I found a really cool looking sentinel weapon. It’s only A rank but I had a really shitty one before and had not even gotten a rifle one yet. So I really needed one. I’m happy with this find for my base game. Will be my new main weapon until I get further in and can hunt down those S class with the glyph gates (can’t use them yet)

[true bronze]

Fair enough, I'm trying to finish phase 3 right now and using the original multitool is a pain in the ass when trying to take out sentinels

[true bronze]

where was it? a planet in one of the rendezvous systems?

[lost sphinx]

Is anyone else having an issue claiming the final reward for the expedition?

I try to claim the 5th rendezvous research reward, and it gives the standard dialogue of the save returning to normal, but when I click accept, it locks my game up so I can't move or interact with anything.

[thick umbra]

only MAC and Gamepass player should have this bug

[ripe scroll]

If you do the missions in order when you get to the one to hunt down the sentinel ship, I went to either the planet in the rendezvous sector or the dissonant system right next to it (if the rendezvous isn’t a dissonant sector)

[lost sphinx]

Yeah. I play with Gamepass

[thick umbra]

check the pinned messages

or wait until you got the patch

[lost sphinx]

The pinned thing worked. Thank you!

[ripe scroll]

Here’s a photo I took of it before I collected it. It was at a Harmonic camp after I took out some of the talk walkers

*tall

used an echo location

[inland lodge]

Does anybody have an outlaw system I can warp into I can’t find any

[lusty slate]

One of the milestones gives you an item that will guide you to one.

[inland lodge]

Do you know which milestone maybe? Idm finding out myself lol

[ripe scroll]

Should be the largest planet in the 4th rendezvous system, I think

Or third (whichever one has the sentinal ship mission

[hollow shore]

@ripe scroll Just asking to get things clear regarding your earlier situation finding yourself unable to 'synthesise' the new ship and staff after finishing expedition. Do I understand correctly when I say you got both on your primary save prior to finishing the expedition, with expedition ending not showing a warning or any indication of what was about to unfold once you did get back to the Terminus to collect after having ended the expedition?

[round panther]

staff and ship from expedition is QS reward, right?

am just thinking too long about the best steps to finish expedition.
1 scrap ships that i dont need. also can summon the exp reward ship and scrap that, since switching to main save (?)
2 have the ship i want to transport over as active ship
3 sell or store tech from the good ship i brought over from the main save, plus scrap that too. since i still have it on the main (?)

[hollow shore]

I accidentally went to the vendors out of order
#nms-expedition message
The above having been key to what happened, right?

[ripe scroll]

Yes. I did not use my staff but that weapon above. I did put all my tech on the reward ship though. When I got back to my main save my ships and weapons reverted back to what I had prior to the expedition. I freaked out a little and so I went to the reward guy to claim my ship. Then it had all the base items. So I ask someone online. They said I had to go to the other vendor where you start the expedition. By then it was too late. I had the base reward version of the ship and it wouldn’t let me collect my saves version (I essentially lost my saved ship because it was the same as the reward ship and I collected the reward ship first)

Luckily I didn’t bring the scepter with me so my gun and all my tech on it was completely fine

There is no warning about losing your saves ship either

[hollow shore]

Ok, so actually already after having finished, but prior to getting back to that Terminus

[hollow shore]

Yeah, a bit of an edge case, which would have been great to see some sort of indication, but hmmm, I can see what happened there

[round panther]

the runner is worth 54 millions 👀

[ripe scroll]

Yes, I tried to prepare thoroughly for ending the expedition but it was just one comment on a youtube video that claimed without evidence that it might be better to take the reward ship back with you because it will have better tech than the reward version. I was an idiot and went with that. It has the same exact tech as the version you receive free as a reward. Take your main ship you have been playing the expedition with. Don’t try to switch over to the reward ship right before completing the expedition. It is a big mistake

[jagged sleet]

How do you take photographs?

[ripe scroll]

Scroll all the way to the right on the X menu and their is a camera

[jagged sleet]

Thank you!

[hollow shore]

Well, I assume it would have been fine if you had not visited the shop first, but had done synthesis instead, which would have included all tech it had installed at the time.

[terse loom]

Didnt pay too much attention to updates, claim bug for phase 5 was fixed right?

[ripe scroll]

Yea but the point is why risk it when there is no benefit to being back either of the reward items with you? You will not be able to lose your items with any tech other than the reward ship and staff which you merely have to collect on the main save file side

[hollow shore]

Certainly agree about taking any risks. Will see about making this clear in FAQs and other info we provide at least. You could at the same time explain what happened in a report to Hello Games, Maybe they see about including some sort of warning.

[round panther]

sry am just scared
going to scrap the ship i brought over with nanites to the expedition. when i end it and go back to main save, that ship will still be intact?!?
i will bring another ship back from the expedition

[remote thunder]

that ship will still be intact?!?
yes

[terse loom]

Thank you:)

[round panther]

my exp account got soon more units than my main save

[remote thunder]

what you do to the synthd ship doesn't affect the original in the parent/primary save

[round panther]

i really hope i dont messup anything. going to put the tech from the copied ship onto the cool one i found on expedition.
uhh if i put stored modules in the cargo of the ship i want to bring to main save. that will delet i guess?

[frail sedge]

some asshole built a base near One Man's Treasure quest. I can't find their base computer bc they built it underground.

[remote thunder]

cargo inventories will not be preserved

[frail sedge]

is there a way to report the base the proceed with the quest?

[remote thunder]

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

thank you. idk how these fuckers are allowed to ruin everyone else's time and think it's okay

i assume some, especially free weekend players, do not know that it interferes

yeah, like newbie (EU) mentioned above, many players probably just don't know that their base can have this effect 😦 🫂

[round panther]

there is a setting though? i mean i was able to claim the interceptor next to a base computer. while other complained they couldnt...
and i refilled some bio fuels 🙂

and to be honest. i could fly away from the point of interest. set my computer and accidently still be in range.. (should be more than 1000 is a save distance?)

[gritty sedge]

I've heard Starborn Runner has Exotic type bonuses (med-high overall), but fighter cockpit animation.
Design pulls heavily from WipEout (AG Racing) ships

[median heron]

At what point can I put items in the thing to xfer them to my original save? Does my expedition save automatically go poof the moment I collect the last of my rewards? I have finished everything, only have a couple rewards to collect, but I don't have an option to put anything in the console.

[jagged sleet]

I may have messed up… I did the free pirate pass thingy and now I need to smuggle. What system is the pirate system again? I can’t find it to save the life of me

[gritty sedge]

Select the mission from the log, and it should show up

[hollow shore]

You will only get that option, once you finish the expedition, after having collected all rewards. You will be asked to visit the Anomaly and interact with the Terminus

[jagged sleet]

That’s what I thought too

[gritty sedge]

Does it show a path on the galaxy map when you pick current mission?

[jagged sleet]

Negative. I found an outlaw system finally. Wish there was an easy way to search previous visited systems

[gritty sedge]

Yeeea, the current filter system helps but dosen't let you search details

[versed mantle]

You can transfer tech over to your ship while in the expedition, though, and then it'll all still be in there if you copy it from the expedition terminal

[versed mantle]

Yeah, I also claimed an interceptor directly outside somebody's base (and was very glad they put it there because I messed up the quest to find one myself twice and was very glad to find one next to a helpfully-named building)

[slender glade]

So I was thinking I could "bring back" stuff from the expedition to a main save, but you can only do that if you start from a main save it seems. There's no way to bring stuff back if you didn't start from there, correct?

[round panther]

i just noticed something.
in the end you get a summary that calculates units nanits QS you get for exp.
i scrolled through it, it reduced the amount of the sum. i really hope it wouldnt give you less, just because your cursor was at the start of the list (ignoring all other things on the top of the list )

[median heron]

Thanks, so do I have to have everything in my inventory when I go visit the terminus? Or will I be able to make a couple trips if I forgot something? Also: I never claimed the ship and tool I copied over. Will those go away so I can copy something over from my expedition save? I actually like the solar I was given.

[hollow shore]

I would suggest to somewhat prepare, have items/resources you really care about in your suit cargo. Switch to the Solar ship in your case, and possibly have the MT you prefer as well. You will be able to get a look at what is expected from you, with still an opportunity to back out before truly finishing.
Only after finishing will you have the opportunity to interact with the Terminus and 'synthesise' your MT and/or ship at a cost of nanites

[median heron]

Much appreciated! Thanks for the help. I've seen other people disappinted about getting things wrong, so want to get it right the first time. 🙂

[round panther]

finally pressed the button, all good it seems
(and am rich now)

[versed glacier]

I'm gonna stay in till the last day, so I can do double quicksilver events

[ashen shore]

I already knew about the trick but I never thought about staying in that long to do it

[round panther]

ehrm. is this normal? i returned to my main save and "homeplanet"
nothing discovered 😭 i was only 2 things away to find everything there. and scanned tons on other planets 😖 it forgot the things 😦

[unkempt trail]

i think that discoveries wear out

[round panther]

i mean, before this expedition i didnt expec tthings to show up on my main, when i found them on expedition
but it just deletes all that i found past 4 months.. is pretty sad .(

and it still shows me that 6/6 are found
another annoyance is i cant click most of the planets i found, despite having visited them 😦

[remote thunder]

!hg @round panther

[unkempt kraken]

@round panther You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[remote thunder]

i've seen other players mention similar issues to this

[round panther]

ok i ll do for that one.
imo its an expedition switching to main problem, but cant tell tbh

[remote thunder]

i'm not aware of any fix to exist

[round panther]

didnt switch to main in between, just played exp and then switched back. not sure when the things vanished, to me it looks like after switching

very F i felt so home in my system..

[remote thunder]

that said, if you rescan those discoveries, and try to upload them again, and you had uploaded them before, it should connect to online discovery services and update your save file with the correct discovery (original upload) discovery data

[round panther]

i surely will scan. i did rename some things, so i hope to discover my own discoveries again o-0

[remote thunder]

yeah, if you did upload them, they should still be stored in the server

[round panther]

only some recent things i didnt upload because i wanted to take time to rename cool looking things 🙂

[remote thunder]

probably won't be a bad idea to zip up your save files, and attach them in the bug report, whenever you get some spare time

[round panther]

i ll take a note and then time tomorrow hopefully. aha didnt think that would help o0

[remote thunder]

@round panther what @unkempt trail brought up before is also something to keep in mind, especially if you're very exploration/discovery driven. unrelated to this bug, and a compromise devs had to make, our save files can't hold all discovery data forever - eventually, older discoveries will be flushed out to make room for new discoveries we make; that said, systems we have bases on should never get cleared from the discovery list.

so discoveries that you really want to "keep", be sure to upload them, and/or make regular backups of your save folder

[round panther]

hmhm i didnt think there is some kind of limit for that, since theoretically its just some numbers and text .. (maybe am naive :))

what does the backup help? if i dont make a backup each time, i wont put it back and lose hours of other progress.. eh

[serene kettle]

Didn't they make an update to fix the Expedition, so you can finish it properly to a Normal Save?

[silent pewter]

Anyone know if the expedition claim glitch was fixed yet?

[silent pewter]

It didn’t work sadly

[stark atlas]

So you can’t convert your expedition save into a normal one?

[silent pewter]

Not at the moment. Optional Mission 5 is broken, theres a workaround but its a little weird

[shy quail]

It worked for me on PC and PS5 last night.

[silent pewter]

Oooh. I’ll check now. Last I checked was after the update that was supposed to fix it a couple days ago

[silent pewter]

Still broken for my PS5. Guess it’s just for some that really sucks

Really really annoying I wanna get into the main game without starting a new save

[candid oracle]

anyone wanna play together for this expedition? It's my first time doing it

[ashen shore]

did you go and scan items?

[silent pewter]

No but its a community expedition, it says its at 100% already

When I click into it

[ashen shore]

you have to

[silent pewter]

How many do I have to scan?

[ashen shore]

think 2 or 3

[silent pewter]

Ah wish the game would tell me

[ashen shore]

it does

pretty sure on the quest tracker or on expedition pannel

[silent pewter]

It said it for optional 1-3 but 4 and 5 say community

I claimed 4 without ever going to the planet but I’ll try for 5

[ashen shore]

you prob did scan something on those planets

[silent pewter]

Maybe. I’m teleporting rn

[ashen shore]

revisit the planet and if doesn't give it to you then scan acouple items

I scanned before and all I had to do was visit

[silent pewter]

Wheres the teleporter on the space anamoly?

Nvm found it lol

[ashen shore]

when facing the anomaly quest giver (forget what it's called) go up the ramp on the left

[silent pewter]

Yeah the ananoly is so weird. I prefer space stations but yknow harder to get to

Ah yeah it tells me to scan 3 things now that I landed @ashen shore thank you for the help

[hot blade]

So if I "End Expedition" I lose everything not in the select slots?

[ashen shore]

no

You don't lose anything

I have all my items for my recollection

[severe iris]

i Just shot the downed interceptor with my ship and it instantly reapaired it and i didnt have to get any of the items for it

[hot blade]

I started from my main save
I’m planning on scrapping these expo ships for storage

[ashen shore]

I don't believe sentinel ships drop anything

[severe iris]

the repair one for the expidition

[hot blade]

This terminal in the anomaly is telling me I’ll lose stuff if I swap back to my normal save

[ashen shore]

don't the one you get at the end has one of best maneuverability

[hot blade]

I have two Star runners and I’m going to scrap the lesser of the two

Also the solar and sentinel

[versed mantle]

You can transfer all of your ships over if you do it before you end the expedition (if you want to)

[versed mantle]

This is correct yes

[hot blade]

Domn

Even units and nanites?

[versed mantle]

No those transfer

And you can keep any tech installed in any ships you clone via the expedition terminal

[hot blade]

So I switch back to my normal save and then clone the ship?

[versed mantle]

Yes

You can do that for multiple ships if you pause the expedition instead of stopping it

You'll only be able to clone whichever ship is currently equipped

[hot blade]

domn

well I do only want one ship...

[versed mantle]

Then I believe you can just end the expedition with that ship equipped and clone it afterward

No need to worry about pausing it to clone multiple ships

[hot blade]

I'm trusting you with my life here

gonna scrap these others and then end the expo

[versed mantle]

Please note I haven't actually been able to end the expedition myself because I'm on switch and don't have the patch but I've had lots of time to research how it works 😂

[hot blade]

I'm doing this on switch atm as well
Why can't you end it?

[versed mantle]

There's a bug when you accept the last reward that freezes your character

It sounds like you might already be past that?

[hot blade]

Go into camera mode before that screen and ur gud

[versed mantle]

I can't get the workaround to work so I'm just waiting it out

I don't have time to open camera mode, the popup shows up less than half a second after I accept the last reward

[hot blade]

You gotta tap accept with the switch touch screen
Up, Right, Right, A
Like a tekken combo

I was soft locked so that when my save loaded, that screen would pop up almost instantly
I kept trying until I was quick enough to get it

[versed mantle]

It took me a few tries but I finally got it!

Thanks for the tips

I was fully prepared to wait however long it took for the switch update to come out because I thought there was no way I'd get it

[hot blade]

Ayyyyy!
Way to go

[ashen shore]

next 2 hours I answer any questions about expedition just ping

[ashen shore]

or reply to the original comment with ping on

[crystal iris]

How many milestones to complete a phase?

[ashen shore]

oh misread

sorry

35

5 optional

well before update they were not

[crystal iris]

What's an Expedition?
Expeditions are timed events in which you embark on galactic trips from one specific point in the galaxy to another. They encompass several challenges and achievements exclusive to each named Expedition.

[ashen shore]

5 phases * 7 milestone each + 1 optional milestone on each phase

[ashen shore]

expedition is themed event hosted by hello games, it suppose bring community together

and expedition points are random

[crystal iris]

Does the Optional one make it 8 each? So 40 for Expedition 12?

[ashen shore]

yes there are 8 milestones total for all 5 but 1 is optional

to do optional you have to go to the rendezvous point and scan 3 items

unless you did that already and all you have to do is go to rendezvous planet

[ashen shore]

Have you not done one before?

do you need help starting?

[ashen shore]

to start you have to creat a new game, on top right there is a expedition symbol next to it

I would show you but no emoji here for it

[ashen shore]

some are easier than others and none have to be done in order

this makes it easy pick prizes you want but u can't get final prize if don't finish all and won't get phase if don't finish all milestones in that phase

[ashen shore]

any more questions

[real abyss]

Sweet, ‘cause I have a ton of questions about the new “mid-save expedition” mechanic rofl

Assuming you start it from the terminal, do you have to load your main save each time you want to resume the expedition, or does it spit out its own save as if you started an expedition prior to this update? If the latter, what happens to the save once you complete it and bring stuff back to your main save? Does it just keep it and convert it as normal?

Along that topic, what happens to anything you bring into the expedition? Does it just make a copy and bring it into the new expedition save, or does it flat-out move everything over and you have to retrieve it from the limited space with the risk of losing it if you don’t bring it back with the slots provided?

[ashen shore]

when you start a expedition it will be on a new save, starting from scratch, when you finish you have a option finish optional milestone, if you don't your save will convert to a normal save after clicking finish (WARNING IT'S GLITCHED)

[crystal iris]

Ooooh Good Questions. Let me get comfy and popcorn.

[ashen shore]

you keep your items

[mint oracle]

It was my first expedition and i did all the milestones, and now i am not sure about the best way to end it - i kind of played the expedition like i normally play and did loads and loads of stuff that i think were completely pointless....like getting a freighter (i didnt have one on my main save), doing all the quests, getting personnel etc. I already heard i am not going to keep these thing, but is there anything that is very important to transfer over in this terminus? Or asked in a different way, what are the best things to transfer, I have so many things now >< And made almost 200 million units haha

[crystal iris]

How did you start the Exped?

[ashen shore]

You keep all the items you get after clicking finish

[mint oracle]

from my main save at the anomaly

[ashen shore]

again it's glitched

there is way get around it but lets get there first

[ashen shore]

oh you talking about transferring items.

It will stay on that save I think there is a option after finishing final phase to transfer back items @mint oracle

[mint oracle]

Yes i thought all i did and that does not fit into these slots will be lost/sold. So i dont know what to transfer, like what makes most sense to transfer over. Walker brains....emergency derelict frighter items...or whatever is most valuable

[crystal iris]

oh. Well you do have a limited amount of things you can bring back. And only you know what's most important to you.
Unfortunatly, you can not bring the Freighter back.
So I can only suggest some of the Tech.. if it's better than what you have in your normal save.. The rest is up to you... Maybe the Staff??

[ashen shore]

You will not lose items when you complete

[mint oracle]

Isn't the staff one of the "exclusive" items that should be available on all saves? Do i have to transfer that over? oO How would i even unequip a multitool to put in there

[ashen shore]

I am not 100% on new transfer items

[ashen shore]

The staff can claimed on all accounts by the quicksilver vender

go to claim expedition prizes

@mint oracle The ship can also be bought from the vender BUT it costs 1500 nanites

[crystal iris]

It is.. but if you set it up nicely with Adjaceny..... you might want to bring it with you.

[mint oracle]

I dont understand what that means :)

When searching the discord for "transfer" i found this earlier but it does not say how: spacefireworks — Today at 03:40
You can transfer all of your ships over if you do it before you end the expedition (if you want to)

[ashen shore]

do you want to know how to transfer items?

[real abyss]

I know how they work in general, I just didn’t know how the “loading” system worked because they added the import option lol. Sounds like it’s the latter and it just keeps the new save by what you’ve said.

Also, since I can’t remember and wanted to try and dupe the photonix core for a collectible on said main save, does claiming the Starship Runner immediately mark it as completed or do you have to manually claim each reward to get the expedition finish? Was more focused on finishing it on a new save for the rewards the first time and didn’t get the chance to see if I could just claim the ship, set it as primary, and then get one of the rewards to “finish” it.

[mint oracle]

Well i know the way to put the items in those transfer slots at the terminus at the end of expedition

[crystal iris]

So during the exped gameplay.. you may have gotten pretty good tech and it set up to destroy sentinels with about 1 or 2 blasts. You could bring that back to your save... that way you don't have to look for all the tech again if you were to just get a new one from the QS station.

[ashen shore]

well, due to me completing it so early not for me, I believe it does

[mint oracle]

Oh...i used the multitool from my main save that i copied over when starting the expedition, so all i obtained and all expansions went to this "cloned" multitool that i brought over. I only got the staff today and did nothing with it

[real abyss]

To which part? Claiming the ship ends the expedition, or claiming the individual rewards after the phase rewards ends it?

[ashen shore]

Due to the game being glitched claiming the ship didn't complete sense the optional were actually required

[real abyss]

Oh nice lol

[ashen shore]

I am not sure if I am being helpful

[real abyss]

I knew about the softlock glitch but didn’t know the optionals not being optional was a glitch.

[crystal iris]

Ok, easy. I guess you want to bring your original MT back now.. Since it would be better than the original.
I didn't use the Staff either. So claiming at the QS won't be a problem for me.

[real abyss]

I’d say that helped, since now I know I can claim the ship, purge its tech for the transfer, and then get the optionals and end the expedition lol

[ashen shore]

I wouldn't

[mint oracle]

Yes but how do i bring back a multitool or a ship? I only know that one page with slots for tech and cargo to transfer...can you even "unequip" a multitool to do something with it?

[ashen shore]

It's one of the best ships with handling

I have seen

My handling is 1700

[crystal iris]

I recall a video out there.. explaining how to copy it over about 2 or 3 times to get those Cores.

[real abyss]

I meant more for getting the photonix core after claiming it at the QS vendor

[ashen shore]

photonix core?

[real abyss]

Yeah, this lol

[real abyss]

It was a limited edition pulse engine part for PS4 that’s on the new ship

[ashen shore]

There much easier way get money after the expedition, I got 10 mil with 1 trip smuggling contraband got from destroying freighters

[real abyss]

http://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Photonix_Core

[ashen shore]

Money=ship=parts + nanites

[crystal iris]

Check out this Video.. right about 7:02 < ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLdBdbRiZUc|| > it will explain how to get the cores.

[ashen shore]

buy S class ships and save good ships

[mint oracle]

I did so much stuff during the expedition that i probably should not have, i have around 400 collected albumen pearls in my storage :) should i try to sell them before ending the expedition or does it make no difference? ^^

[ashen shore]

Farm A and S ships and farm them for nanites and get most of your money back

thats what I do

[crystal iris]

I think your nanites, QS, and Units come back with you. So if you are low on Funds in your Main.. then sell as much as you can before ending and then it should all come over with you.

[ashen shore]

another option nanites is explore and scan everything and turn it in to I forget his name, guy at the top of the ramp on the left

[crystal iris]

I can't suppress pop up and add spoiler tag at the same time?

[ashen shore]

Come back? if you mean convert with save then yes

[crystal iris]

yes

[mint oracle]

I'm not really low although i only started 2 months ago...but i made 200 million units doing all kinds of things apart from the expedition, ok thats good to hear that they will go over ^^

[ashen shore]

any more questions

[crystal iris]

You see what you can refine into Nanites. I don't remember if the Pearls do... try it and see.

[ashen shore]

There is a easy way to buy every in qs item

[crystal iris]

Really? Please share that info.

[ashen shore]

@crystal iris for high rank you are asking basic questions, are you testing me or never done expedition?

[mint oracle]

I still dont know how to "bring over" my multitool back to the save (the one that i originally copied to the expedition and used all this time and upgraded etc)

[true bronze]

ugh, trying to find an outlaw system.... I put the ticket to freedom in a storage container at somebody's base but it isn't one of the ones I unlocked, and I can't find the base again.... I am so smrt

[mint oracle]

hahaha thats a good way to hide things :) cant you just craft the rest of the containers in your own base? ^^

[ashen shore]

picture if mission and what you are seeing

[true bronze]

I haven't unlocked them yet so now I'm basically grinding out salvaged data so I can go and buy them

[ashen shore]

I found rarely even used salvaged data this expedition

[true bronze]

only used it to get past the various base building goals

[mint oracle]

ah ok...i always have stacks of them because i am a packrat and collect everything i pass everywhere ><

[ashen shore]

The previous ones should unlocked what you needed

[true bronze]

well...that's a lie. I meant to use it only for that but I'm pretty sure I bought some superfluous stuff and wasted a bunch

[ashen shore]

if I remember correctly

[crystal iris]

Whew there were a lot of questions in there... and they kind of all ran together.
let me see if I can answer any.... Please be aware, I'm no expert, most of what I share is based only on my gameplay, info I've gathered from others... and my opinion.

Also, since I can’t remember and wanted to try and dupe the photonix core for a collectible on said main save,
Hope the video I shared helped with this question.
does claiming the Starship Runner immediately mark it as completed or do you have to manually claim each reward to get the expedition finish?
Claiming it once you have completed all phases, immediately marks it as done.
Was more focused on finishing it on a new save for the rewards the first time and didn’t get the chance to see if I could just claim the ship, set it as primary, and then get one of the rewards to “finish” it.
Not really clear on this question... are you asking if you can have a normal main save with the ship that you already claimed from previous Exped 12 play and start a new Exped 12 from that save and bring the ship. And then at the end claim another Ship? If that's your question, I am not sure how that would work. If you try and please come back and share you experience and results.

[crystal iris]

Same way you came with you.. just place it in one of the slots?
Watch the video I share, they explain it.

[real abyss]

More wondering how to get a duplicate copy of the core for my main save, but I think the video you linked might help.

Basically meaning I'd get the core for the ship I have now on said save, and then be able to still redeem the Runner from the QS vendor since it'd have the core there.

[mint oracle]

As far as i remember the ship and multitool cloning did not happen via these slots but with a different screen..i dont think you can place a multitool or a ship into one of those slots?

I need to check the video maybe it explains both ship and multitool at once

[marble ruin]

Just to double-check, but quicksilver you earn in the expedition transfers to your main save after ending the expedition, right?

[versed mantle]

Sorry, I didn't elaborate in that particular comment since the person I was replying to didn't need the info :)
As long as you haven't yet finished the expedition, you can pause (not end!) the expedition and copy your currently equipped ship using nanites. You can then return to the expedition, equip a different ship, and repeat the process. Each ship can only be cloned once
You can do the same for multitools

I believe this has to happen before collecting your final reward, though? I didn't see the option to pause the expedition after doing that

[mint oracle]

Ohh ok i read that "pause but not end" somewhere before, how do you actually "pause" an expedition?

[ashen shore]

guess nobody needs help I be off

[versed mantle]

You can pause it from the expedition terminal in the anomaly

(Same place you transferred things over)

[crystal iris]

Yes, the video explains it at 7:02 mark. ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTXScB0I4lg||

[crystal iris]

yes

[marble ruin]

thank you!

[final lance]

yeahhhh I completed it (I had to take a break because I needed a new controller)

[versed mantle]

Everything that you leave behind is automatically sold so I didn't prioritize things with a high monetary value

[mint oracle]

What is the final reward? You mean the milestone one (which is the ship) or the things you get when pressing end expedition? I did get the ship, but i did not press end yet

[ashen shore]

pause what? the expedition?

[crystal iris]

What platform do you play on?

[final lance]

pc

[versed mantle]

Yes, I mean the milestone one. After accepting the ship it automatically gives you the popup that tells you how to end the expedition, and I think after that the pause button was replaced with the button to end it?

[crystal iris]

Ahh ok, what controller did you buy?

[final lance]

there was NO way I was flying a ship or playing with keyboard and mouse

[final lance]

some knockoff xbox controller

power a royal purple

[mint oracle]

Ok that is unfortunate, i guess i cannot pause anymore then :/

[crystal iris]

oh ok... Long as it works. right

[final lance]

I enjoy it

[versed mantle]

If you still want multiple ships (or multitools), probably the best thing to do if you can no longer pause would be to equip something that isn't the starborn runner and atlas staff thingy, since both of those are available via the quicksilver vendor

You can load up your equipped ship and multitool with your best tech modules to transfer them over when you clone them

[mint oracle]

I just found something, when in the options menu there is an entry to go to primary save. when i do that, it asks me if i want to pause the expedition

[versed mantle]

Oh, I completely forgot the button was there too!

[ashen shore]

You can pause expedition by just simply pressing pause button lol

[mint oracle]

But this only brings me back to my primary save where i could copy a ship and multitool to the expedition if i had not already done so

[versed mantle]

I used it accidentally when I was trying to quit to the main menu but apparently that did not make it stick in my memory

[mint oracle]

I still can't do it the other way around

[versed mantle]

You should be able to? At the bottom of the expedition terminal there should be two buttons, one to clone the starship and one to clone the multitool, just like there are in the expedition

[crystal iris]

I'm using one from my old Xbox One.

[mint oracle]

Yes they are there...but it's oneway. I already did clone my regular items to go to the expedition save.

But when I am in the expedition, these buttons are not there

This system is really confusing

[ashen shore]

1 hour left any questions you might have. Just ping me.

[crystal iris]

Yes, I agree. This is the 1st time it happens... as that whole terminal and starting from a main save option is new.

[crystal iris]

How long did it take you to complete the expedition?

[versed mantle]

Hm, are you trying to copy back the same ship and multitool that you originally copied to your expedition save? It might be that it doesn't let you do that

[ashen shore]

take me or average time to complete?

[mint oracle]

It wont let me copy anything, these buttons are not there for me while in the expedition

[versed mantle]

All you need to do in the expedition is to equip your current multitool and starship

Then when you pause and return to your main save, there should be buttons at the bottom of the terminal to clone the multitool and starship

[humble dust]

Hi, I'm just about to start the expedition. Is there anything recommended to bring with me like Atlas keys?

[versed mantle]

(Down below the tech and cargo slots)

[ashen shore]

which one? @crystal iris

[crystal iris]

You personally. have you completed it?

[ashen shore]

about 15 hours

15-24

[mint oracle]

These buttons are for creating copies of items FOR the expedition and i already used them so they now say that I already used them

[ashen shore]

not very sure

I finished day 1 the update for console came out

[crystal iris]

Sheesh... I'm 19.
but TBF, I keep going into it to help others.

[versed mantle]

Same question, are you attempting to copy back the same ship and multitool that you copied over in the first place?

Idk if it'll let you do that or not, I didn't try it :)

[ashen shore]

again don't know exact time due to technically not finishing it until now due to a glitch

[versed mantle]

But I know you should be able to copy ships back to the main save because I did it, unless pausing from the menu is somehow different from pausing from the terminal?

[mint oracle]

when i am in my normal save the buttons tell me i already used them. when i am in the expedition, there are no buttons

[versed mantle]

Do you already own Breath of the Wind and Tabash's Transporter in your primary save?

[crystal iris]

I saw that Jason Plays has gotten his speed run down to 1 hour 20 minutes. LOL

[ashen shore]

was that with uploaded items thats kinda cheating

[versed mantle]

Those are the buttons that you'd use to copy things over and they look exactly like that if you've already copied the ship in your main save, so I'm curious if that's also what they look like if they originally came from your main save

[mint oracle]

I am on my primary save and those items are what i copied over to the expedition so yes of course, those are items from my main save. Thats the point of these buttons, to copy over items from your main save to the expedition to use
?

[crystal iris]

There was a list of recommendations.. but I forget where I read it. If you have the 3rd Atlas key... it wouldn't hurt to bring it.

[crystal iris]

no... he starts from main screen

[versed mantle]

You may not be able to copy that ship and multitool back, then, but you should be able to copy other ships and tools (including the sentinel interceptor, starship runner, and atlas multitool with as many tech modules and upgrades as they've gotten)

[crystal iris]

https://youtube.com/live/_oEZU8MRh5E If you wanna see it.

[ashen shore]

yes but you can transfer items before that

[blazing fossil]

Not if you start it on main screen lmao

Also how is it cheating to use a feature in the game

[ashen shore]

I have doubt someone finished in 1 hour

[crystal iris]

No.. not from main screen. Only if you use your main save and start from the New Expedition Terminal in the Anomaly.

[mint oracle]

once again :) these buttons are not there AT ALL when i am in the expedition. So i cannot copy anything, no matter which ship or tool. Maybe they are only there if you did NOT use them to copy something over from the main save to the expedition like i did?

[blazing fossil]

Doubt however much you want
I was close to doing it in 2 without any extra things

[versed mantle]

You don't need to use the buttons from the expedition.

Try summoning a different ship while in the expedition. Then switch back to the main save and see if the buttons in the main save have changed

[ashen shore]

I just curious how much time wasted on nms

[versed mantle]

The buttons are for copying to where you are, not for transferring to the other side

(Sorry that I wasn't clear enough about that, I don't mean to make this more confusing for you)

[mint oracle]

That's not how the buttons worked, I was on my main save and went to that terminal and started the expedition, and before it started i was able to choose a ship and a multitool from the main save that i was on, and items to put into those slots. So they were copied over FROM where I was (in the main save) TO the expedition that was about to start

[crystal iris]

I think this is safe to post. If not please delete:
But you see the times they are competing g for now?

[versed mantle]

I don't remember if you had to choose the ship and tool or if it just used the ones that were equipped, but you definitely had to use the buttons that way on the other side

It didn't automatically clone them, you had to press those buttons to claim them from the terminal once you were in the expedition

[crystal iris]

yes, you are right

[versed mantle]

I never claimed my ship so I had an active button the whole time

[mint oracle]

My mind explodes :) But that video shows how to transfer that photonix drive to the main save by copying ships over right? So this has to work some way even when you accepted the ship reward, otherwise you would not have a photonix drive ><

[versed mantle]

Yes, I just thought you couldn't because I forgot there was also an option to pause it from the menus

If you summon a different ship with the photonix drive while you're in the expedition, the button on the main-save side should be active and you should be able to clone it :)

[mint oracle]

oh geez that works exactly like this

so i now put all the very best upgrades into the starborn runner and clone it, then i have a copy in my main...and then i take all these upgrades and put them into a different ship and can copy them over again with that different ship and basically "dupe" my upgrades? like that?

[versed mantle]

Yep!

[mint oracle]

i wonder if you can use the copy function more than once in one direction, as the maker of the video talks only about being able to copy three photonix cores over by removing it from the starborn runner and putting it into the tech transfer slot when ending the expedition. maybe you can only copy one single ship over to the main save

[versed mantle]

You can copy as many ships as you have, but each ship only once (and apparently cannot copy a ship that you originally transferred from your main save), and then can put it in your tech slot as well

I copied three ships over (the original solar ship, the sentinel interceptor, and the starborn runner) and have all of them in my main save now :)

If you end the expedition instead of pausing it, you can only copy one ship though

[mint oracle]

i guess i should check my main save first for how many slots i even have free still ^^

[versed mantle]

(And it's whichever is equipped when you end the expedition, you don't get to choose after the fact)

[neat latch]

Wait a minute… hear me out. Lol!
When we copy the ship over does the installed technology from expedition sub-save is copied over to active save, and we get to keep the same technology on the expedition sub-save as well?

[versed mantle]

Yes

[mint oracle]

I wonder if i will end up with TWO of the ships that i initially cloned to take to the expedition or if the expedition one will replace the one that is still on the main save

or if neither happens

[versed mantle]

Copying a ship over doesn't affect the original

[versed mantle]

I think you determined that you can't copy the ship you originally cloned back (because the buttons were grayed out)?

It's possible it would let you if you scrapped the original, but I wouldn't test it lol

[mint oracle]

I cant copy it back, but i didnt end the expedition yet and dont know what will happen when i do

[crystal iris]

You are going to have to be our test subject. Are you up for it?

[versed mantle]

When you end the expedition afaik it won't let you clone a duplicate (if you've already cloned your equipped ship over you don't get the option to clone it again)

[crystal iris]

And don't worry, you can always restart the Expedition if it doesn't go the way you want.

[mint oracle]

I dont think i have another choice than to test that ^^ I used all the inventory expansions on my copied-over ship >< Would be a shame if they just all went poof

[versed mantle]

I hope you do get to copy it back over but I'm not terribly optimistic about it unfortunately

I miss all those exosuit expansions I got...

[crystal iris]

Did you use them> If you didn't could you have brought those back?

[neat latch]

So here’s a thing… what if we have 11 empty slots on an active save. We get our starborn from expedition, package the photonix core to install it in a different ship in the expedition save. Copy over this different ship that has photonix core installed to active save. Switch over to active sub-save, get that ship, package the photonix core. Then salvage that ship. We now have a photonix core “packaged” in our active sub-save. We switch over to the expedition save, the ship that we “copied” over should still be in the expedition sub-save with an extra photonix core…
Rinse and repeat for absolutely infinite photonix core…

Has anyone tried this?

[versed mantle]

They were automatically applied, weren't they?

[versed mantle]

Several problems with this

[crystal iris]

hmmm No, I don't believe so. I always declined when that screen appeared... So I have 13 in my inventory. But mind you I'm on a new save that will convert to normal..
So everything I have will still be there.

[neat latch]

List them out, let’s see if we can actually dupe that stuff or not. 😄

[versed mantle]

1. Afaik you can only copy over one ship to the expedition, despite it being once per ship the other way around

[neat latch]

You just said we can copy however many ships to active save.

[crystal iris]

Whew!!

[versed mantle]

You can copy each ship once to your main save, but only one ship to the expedition save

[neat latch]

We aren’t copying anything to expedition save, we’re going the ofher way around without ending the expedition.

You said you had copied 3 ships to your main…

[versed mantle]

Maybe I misunderstood what you meant by "get that ship"

[neat latch]

And you said the installed tech is also copied.

So what if you install the photonix core into the ships you copy over to active save…

[crystal iris]

@versed mantle @neat latch Does this explain it? Mark 7:02
#nms-expedition message

[mint oracle]

It's what i thought, just move the photonix core and all the best upgrades from ship to ship in the expedition and then copy each of those ships over to the main

[versed mantle]

I mean, you could just get an infinite number of ships in your expedition save and copy each one over with the photonix core, if that's what your're saying?

[neat latch]

This… and then rinse and repeat

[neat latch]

Yeppppp!

[versed mantle]

I don't think there are any restrictions against that besides time but I haven't copied enough ships to see if there's some kind of hard limit

[mint oracle]

but what would one do with more than 12 photonic cores ^^

[neat latch]

If we can copy many ships over to active save… and those ships do not vanish from the expedition save…

[neat latch]

Nothing, but we can still get 12 instead of 3?

Dude… @versed mantle you are a genius. 😄

[crystal iris]

I just may start an Exped from a old new save.. one that I didn't do much in just to see how it works... since I've done one as New from the Main screen. I'm curious now.

[neat latch]

Yes. This needs testing. We may have foujd a way to duplicate ALL OF THE TECH!

Can’t use portable refiner… but

[versed mantle]

I am not the person who originally figured out that you can dupe tech modules from ships but thank you lol

[mint oracle]

I'm preparing now, have to check how many slots i even have free on the main and which i don't absolutely want to keep but i think i will need ages before i copied even one ship over ^^

[versed mantle]

Yeah, it was easy for me since I'm still a pretty new player and my main save only had one ship on it 😅

[neat latch]

We did, the other people are talking about duping 3 photonix core, we just made it theoretically possible to dupe every single tech in the game, however times we want. As long as the expedition is running.

I still need to test this but… oh boy, tech duping is back.

@crystal iris you’re gonna test?

@mint oracle you too?

[versed mantle]

I feel like there are still practicalities that make this not the best way to get tech lol
Like that this would be very expensive (since you have to get a lot of ships) and you have to start from a blank slate money-wise

[neat latch]

Crashed ships, traveler. Interceptors.

No money required.

[crystal iris]

Yes, but not until after work... over the weekend.

[mint oracle]

Yes but i think my slots will be pretty limited as i have a hard time letting go of anything haha

[neat latch]

You can use 1 slot. No need for more than that.

Once you have copied a ship from expedition sub-save to active sub-save, package all of the technology from that ship to your storage in active sub-save and salvage that ship. Then switch over to expedition sub-save. Check if you still have that ship in the expedition sub-save, try to copy it back.

It should work because ship seed is different when we copy them.

Ooooooo!

Ooooooo! I have not been this exited in a while.

[versed mantle]

Pretty sure it remembers which ones are duplicates of each other and prevents you from copying them, since Moonshiki was unable to copy back the one they originally cloned to the expedition

[neat latch]

@blazing fossil, @twilit moss, @native bloom get over here.

We may have found a way to dupe tech.

[neat latch]

That is also alright becuase we can find other ships.

[versed mantle]

(Or just remembers which ones you've copied before and not which ones are dupes, which would mean scrapping ships wouldn't affect anything)

[versed mantle]

True, it's just more work lol

[neat latch]

Once you salvage a ship on active sub-save it shouldn’t exist.

[blazing fossil]

IM LISTENING

[native bloom]

I've never paid attention to duping, unfortunately, so I know next to nothing

[neat latch]

Yo! Pause expedition, copy ship, package and store tech in active save, switch back to expedition, rinse and repeat.

The only thing to prevent this from happening is if the copied ship is deleted in the expedition sub-save. If not, then we can do it continuously.

[neat latch]

I like to delve into the unknown… for science.

[versed mantle]

It's not, I still had my ships in the expedition

[neat latch]

Sweet baby Jesus… Yesssss!

So all of that juicy tech is still intact in expd save… ready to be packaged and transferred over to a new ship, and then copied over to active save…

Freaking DUPED!

[blazing fossil]

So…
On main save
Copy ship
Remove modules
Go to expedition
Move modules
Go back to main save
Copy ship again?

[versed mantle]

Move modules to a different ship and copy that ship

Endless modules at the cost of a lot of ships

[neat latch]

Other way around: from expd to main.

[blazing fossil]

So we copy into expedition
Or do we copy into main?

[neat latch]

Copy from expd to main.

Say, photonix core.

[versed mantle]

I think this is right because you have to be on the main save to copy the ship

On main save, copy ship (from expedition)... everything else is correct still

[twilit moss]

Orly

[neat latch]

Well yeah! If we pause the expedition we go back to main save.

Omega…

[blazing fossil]

Yes?

[neat latch]

Oyea babyyyy!

Pause expd > copy ship from kiosk to main save > go back to expd > rinse and repeat.

Come on Moonshiki, give me the good news.

[mint oracle]

Is there even anything that amazing in tech that needs to be copied? :) I feel like i already have like the best upgrades after just 2 months playing, is there more coming that i dont know about? :) Not copied anything over yet but as it seems, the ships wont vanish in expedition so i see no reason for it to not work as planned ^^

[blazing fossil]

New dupe glitch for technology modules using expedition saves and ship copying:

1. Put all modules you want to copy into a ship on the expedition mode
2. Go to main save
3. Copy the ship
4. Remove modules from the copied ship
5. Go back to expedition mode
6. Move all modules from the already copied ship to a new ship
7. Copy the new ship

• Repeat

[trail flicker]

Question when building the base in the expedition mode do they just not give you switches to open doors with?

[neat latch]

Yesssss!

[neat latch]

Photonix core is a one off kinda module.

[blazing fossil]

!faq-techdupe command?

[neat latch]

No!

[blazing fossil]

Why not?

[neat latch]

Maybe a personal command but not a FAQ

[mint oracle]

yes but other than that..i mean that is the one it all started with but you only ever need 12 anyway right? ^^ except if you plan ahead for a possible future expansion to 18 or more ships hehe

[blazing fossil]

Ok

[neat latch]

You’re not wrong.

[twilit moss]

I'll have to try it later. on hospice duty atm

[blazing fossil]

Anyways we can use this screenshot in the meantime

[neat latch]

Okie!

[mint oracle]

If you have recovered a crashed sentinel ship, then salvage it, can you go back to where you found it and get it again? Or can it only ever be gotten once from one crashsite.....

I am wondering if i should just delete the sentinel ship that i copied over from my main save, and then see if i can copy it back from the expedition when it no longer exists on my main save ><

[neat latch]

You will find more of the same model on that planet, using an echo locator, or a carrier AI fragment, or the camp.

[neat latch]

Try it, but at your own risk.

Copy a ship from main to expedition. Salvage that ship on main. Switch over to expedition. Create that ship.

Can we register that ship to be created in main?

[mint oracle]

Its all pretty weird, actually the ship i copied over was named Hope-yw, but in the button it appeared as a totally different name. I now scrapped the Hope-yw on my main save (it was just a b grade with few expansions on main), went back to the anomaly, now the button to copy a ship lists yet another name of a ship i dont even know.....I am switching to Hope-yw on expedition now, then go back to main and see what the button says then ><

It now offers to copy "Tabash's Transporter PN9" although I left the expedition with Hope-yw as my current ship. I think if I copy this now, I will actually copy the upgraded ship that I initially copied over to the expedition back to my main

Yes it does...I can copy back my Hope-yw with all the upgraded slots that I put in during the expedition, yay :)

Yessss I got it back on my main

I can probably do the same with my multitool....

[neat latch]

This proves the theory that the game is creating the same ship design with different seeds. The name isn’t an issue.

[mint oracle]

Lesson learned - the copied over ship is NOT flagged as having been copied over. Instead, there is a check if you already have that ship on your main save, and if you have scrapped it like I did, you can copy the "copy" back to main

[neat latch]

Now I want to request something from you, @mint oracle

We are going to “dupe”.

Do you have access to a photonix core in either in the main save or in expedition sub-save?

[mint oracle]

Damn i forgot to put the photonix drive into hope-yw before copying, i was too thrilled lol...i think if i scrap my copied over ship again i can transfer it again...omg i should stop, the dupes are getting out of hand

[neat latch]

No, no! Don’t stop xD

[mint oracle]

It seems like you can copy, scrap, copy, scrap, copy, scrap ><

[neat latch]

We need proof of concept before I can push it to other communities.

[neat latch]

This proves another theory.

[mint oracle]

lol i was just mindstorming, no rush telling anyone :)

[neat latch]

Oh believe me, there are only a few chances to do something in NMS that others haven’t done. XD

[mint oracle]

Only thing tested so far is you can lift the restricton of copied ships to be copied back to main by deleting the ship on main

[neat latch]

That in itself is half of the work done and proven.

[mint oracle]

I'll now do the same with the multitool that i initially copied over to the expedition

[neat latch]

The only thing left is to make multiples of photobix core.

[mint oracle]

right...forgot about that one..again ^^

[neat latch]

And if it works with ships it will work wirh multi-tools.

[mint oracle]

i forgot to check if any cargo was transfered when copying the ship to main...i'll check when doing the next copy in a few mins ><

if the cargo is copied over i don't need to worry about too few slots to transfer items, i can just ferry everything over from expedition to main...i somehow doubt that all the cargo will be there ^^

Ah yes the cargo does not transfer ^^

[neat latch]

Cargo doesn’t. Yep!

[mint oracle]

Just transfered the second ship with the photonix drive, seems i can just do that until i either run out of ships, or if i just scrap them until i run out of patience. Also got ma multitool back that i originally copied over to the expedition, with all the upgrades I did meanwhile

I will test if i can transfer the same ship repeatedly with a worthless dummy now (transfer, go to main and take tech out, scrap, go back to expedition, tranfer again)

[wanton raft]

You can.

[mint oracle]

oh ok, good that saves me two transfers to test that ^^

[wanton raft]

You can do it until ya run out of nanites ... which probably won't happen.

[mint oracle]

i am already drowning in stuff though, i dont even know where to put all this when i just started

[wanton raft]

Yep. Wish the world was a 1000th as giving as this game.

[mint oracle]

I think i need to streamline this more >< I also noticed a polo figurine in the reward ship tech, so if i spend my expedition quicksilver on these figures and put them in ships that i transfer, i can multiply them....

[wanton raft]

I'm assuming we don't get anything when transfering back for having a freighter.

[mint oracle]

No idea, i didnt even think about all this until a few days ago when i learned that few things that you did can be taken back with you...i even built a complete base in my freighter with all the terminals and personell etc., did all those missions to recruit them and then all the stuff they told me to ><

and that when i didnt even have a freighter yet on my main

[wanton raft]

Well, I bet all you get is the profits from the frigate missions, but I hope I'm wrong.

Would be nice if we did get the value of the freighter because I just picked up a 115 million unit class A freighter for free.

Also just noticed that HG must have dropped the three or more hour wait in between freighter battles. Was warping round many systems and had three battles within minutes. Maybe that's only for the expedition.

[hasty sequoia]

just started this exp bc im late af and put it off and obviously i cant get into the space station lmao

did this happen to anyone else

:D

[slim elm]

Reading back a ways I'm still really confused on the transfer of goods and ships from exp save to main save. I sort of wish they left it the same as other expeditions where we can make it a normal save after but I understand there are people already at max saves and this new way might be better. I did pick up a couple exotics and an s class sentinel ship and multitool which are pretty cool, and an A class freighter, not a big deal there but I don't know what I can bring back. I still have a few milestones to go before I look into the transfers.

[mint oracle]

Just make sure you do it before pressing the "End expedition" button. Take the starship you want and the multitool you want, put all the best upgrades that you can find in it, then go to the menu/options and choose "Return to primary save". Go to the anomaly expedition terminal and copy the multitool and ship over. If you have more than one you can the go back to resume the expedition and repeat the process for any other ship/multitool you want to copy to your regular save

[ionic karma]

My game keeps crashing when I press continue

[median sparrow]

Okay, so I brought a maxed ship/mt to the expedition. Is that a copy or was it moved over? I wasn't sure if I could break down everything else

[hollow shore]

When starting the expedition from an existing save, the ship/mt are copies for use once you make it to the Anomaly inside the expedition and have the Nanites cost

[median sparrow]

And what about going back?

[hollow shore]

When you finish, you get back to what you had before. However, you do get rewards for finishing the expedition, which are added. It also allows you to synthesise a ship/mt back to your primary save at a cost of nanites.

[median sparrow]

I just didn't want to goof and lose my fully upgraded stuff.

Thank you.

[remote thunder]

fwiw, it is still possible to play expedition the old way, by simply starting a new save (if you're under 15 saves), not using any existing save. once all milestones/phase/final rewards are claimed, then game will offer to auto convert save to normal mode, early iow before expedition ends server side

[median sparrow]

I can finally end this.

[round panther]

after scrolling through the amazing find (duping the core), i realised am just a noob. in panic mode, trying to focus. sold ships, sorted tech, checked every storage i had etc. just so i dont forget something i wanted to have...
... yes check photo something core in the storage, nice.
.. look:

thats what i copied, because i didnt get its not that item everyone is talking about xd

have a nice day 🙂

[median sparrow]

About to scrap the runner. 😄

[hollow shore]

Quite a few things that actually use that fancy image.

[remote thunder]

always feel free to ask for confirmation, as many times as needed. i guess that you were trying to think of photonix core, the ship tech that comes prebuilt on starborn runner? well, it's not completely out of reach. you did claim the final expedition reward badge, and that unlocked starborn runner ship as a claimable expedition reward, in any other save, under the same account, even the save you started expedition from. also, if you had starborn runner equipped when you finished expedition, you should be able to synth clone it in your primary save's expedition terminus.

[hollow shore]

There has been a lot of scrapping done for a while now, but it appears to be reaching new peaks ...

[median sparrow]

It doesn't interest me.

It's incredibly nimble but ehhh.

[remote thunder]

i love the sounds it makes, sound fx and music play a big part of NMS for me

[round panther]

bk, ty for being open to "ask away".
but there are just too many ?!?! why how wut things in this game 😄 and either i play it, or i study it both is not possible. the time i invested to study cooking is already too much ^^

scrapped the runner, probably sold the core for nanites on exp save.
did *not grab the runner on the main save QS yet.
(honestly having a rare item sounds cool, but i wonder how good is it actually? i thought it must be a super 2000 % better than anything you can get thing, since everyones so keen on)

[median sparrow]

I think my main save has a bug where I can claim the Mass effect freighter as much as I want.

[hollow shore]

Possibly, or perhaps it only appears that way. I can for example imagine claiming it while it may not be able to actually add it, to then appear infinite?

[median sparrow]

54m scrap for the runner. Delicious!

[median sparrow]

We can surely test that!

I should have scrapped my fully upgraded ship.

[remote thunder]

both is not possible
it is, but i'd say that a new player is probably not in the position to do so yet; for example, cooking is a big time sink, but in day to day play, even if you use food to recharge or buff your suit systems, a handful of food products will be enough. there's a lot of food recipes, but only a handful of buffs

but i wonder how good is it actually?
not 2000% not even 200% better - but perhaps "filling up those 60 tech slots", "having that tech that only day1/day 1 patch could get until now", "higher stats, more better", are strong incentives for some players
personally, i've been playing for a long time, not a day1/day 1 patch player so playing without photonix core, and never ever felt that "oh man, if i only had photonix core, this ship would be perfect"

[median sparrow]

Should be plenty.

[round panther]

i cant quite explain.. my brain is "hey newbie, you didnt bake a cake yet. gotta try that out ^^". thats it. i might note which things are worth a ton, i checked some prices on that homepage etc.

• meaning, buff, price etc. am learning that through doing the things. not doing the things to get that buff (i mean iwill, but that wasnt the main driver for starting cooking)

which save files should i send to HG for the discoveries gone bug only the ones called save or the whole st_ folder?

[hollow shore]

Just take the full folder containing all your saves

[median sparrow]

Honestly, good enough for me.

[round panther]

now am contemplating about redoing expedition and i dont even know if i can start another from the main save (i also need to check if i somehow copied the core without realising it)
it does sound like one can do infinite expeditions via main save (?)

[hollow shore]

@round panther Best to add it to an archive/package

[round panther]

the folder is 70 mb, which is a lot to attach. yes, bk told me to zip it
now onto breaking my head on how to explain HG what happend .. o0

[hollow shore]

The rewards are great to be honest, especially good for QS

[jagged sedge]

And eggs

[median sparrow]

I never got too much into the QS stuff.

[hollow shore]

Mostly decorative items, but being a builder, I'd like them all. Some suffer from FOMO. Others have just been around too long

[median sparrow]

I've been around since day 1 and probably missed out on most of them.

But that's okay

They'll come back, they always do.

[hollow shore]

ahuh

[jagged sedge]

The 'mud hut' is a good choice, it can provide some quick shelter if you build an extractor base on a stormy world - and it's cheap to build also

[median sparrow]

I know I have a Normandy in my fleet, and here it is still claimable. I will claim it and see.

[jagged sedge]

Please tell me, is the Normandy a combat style frigate?

[median sparrow]

It is.

[jagged sedge]

I thought it was, but didn't know for sure

[median sparrow]

@hollow shore Can confirm. I can claim it but I only get the one.

[round panther]

another question that bothers me, for longterm players that did many/all expeditions:
if expeditions give ships regularly, are all your ships expeditions ships that you shall never scrap? 😄
as well with the eggs. delete an existing beloved pet, for one from the exp? 🧐 and after 5 more exp everythings full?
(if its for me, they should do only 1-2 exp per year o0 when should i ever get going at the main, if there are "constantly" expeditions xd)

[median sparrow]

Also needing to go to each and every one of my paper hulled frigates to repair is quite tedious.

[hollow shore]

It is actually more than that. A class/type of its own so to say ... unable to 'lose' it (unless you rid of it)

[remote thunder]

combat+exploration

[jagged sedge]

I have a couple raiders in my fleet on my main save but rarely use them - I may dismiss them, now that I think about it

[remote thunder]

for example, i only ever claimed golden vector once, in my main save. i know that if i end up scrapping it, the game currently does not have a way for me to reclaim it again later in the same save, should i want to. iow, choices, choices, choices.

[jagged sedge]

It seems the 'reward' starships have all been fighter type - I wonder if we may someday be able to get a different type

[remote thunder]

runner is exotic type though

[jagged sedge]

I know, the 'cartographer' expo started us with the weird exotic, but - that's not quite what I was wanting to keep as a main - repairing damaged parts would be a pain also

[jagged sedge]

Every time I see the runner, I think of the dustbuster I used to own, lol

[round panther]

ohh. now having more saves makes more sense. since another save could be the one "for showing off".
ah good to know, i didnt claim the runner, because i had a feeling i wont be able to get it again, if i need to scrap it at some point.
hmhm. i believe then many exp. reward things will stay in the QS avaible for.. forever 🙂

[jagged sedge]

Welp, I'm off to goof around in game - the skies call to me

[remote thunder]

yeah, especially in those cases; for example, stuff we don't ever need to give second thought is stuff like cosmetics or base decorations. ships, now multitool too, yeah, needs a little consideration first - which you know, it's easy to forget to do, especially if we're excited about getting something

[round panther]

it already drives me insane 😄 like i got that cool vector, its parked in the garage all the time. why do i even have it in my list then ^^
should i be sad i missed the speeder? maybe; am trying to not dwell on the probably 30 other "cool things" i missed past years of NMS (its an honest and real struggle, all those thoughts. as mentioned other times, am really not used to such big games, games that change, have weekly/daily things etc.)

[jovial escarp]

so i completed the expedition, but when i go to click accept the promte to turn it in to a normal save. The games ui vanishs and cant do anything.

[round panther]

there was a patch for steam and other platforms. maybe soon for your platform!
meanwhile you can try this:
<#nms-expedition message>
or just.. wait

[bold root]

Has anyone tried transferring the companion eggs you recieve from the expedition back to your main save?

[agile mica]

U can redem it by Quicksilver vendor in you main save

[bold root]

Like the robo dog egg?

[agile mica]

Yep

[bold root]

Bet

[hollow shore]

@bold root @agile mica The Blob and the Bio-Horror are an exception though, they are not made available as an expedition reward to claim after finishing.

[bold root]

Sorry I've got a couple questions if you don't mind

[hollow shore]

Don't be sorry, if you have questions, just ask

[bold root]

1. Do they only appear AFTER you complete the expedition bonus missions? I noticed after I completed the expedition on a different save I did not see them as claimable rewards on my main save

2. The bio horror and blob. Could the eggs not just simply be transferred like other items after you end the expedition on your main save?

3. If not, could you just make them have eggs and then transfer their babies? Thank you

[hollow shore]

For the creature eggs to be available at the QS Shop on the Anomaly, the optional missions require to have been finished for them as well, but 2 of them will not be available as a reward item there. The Blob and Bio-Horror will only be available and useful in the expedition save. If you started the expedition using a new save, you are able to keep them as the save converts upon completion

[hollow shore]

No, the eggs are considered critical items I guess, as they can not be added to the inventory to transfer as you finish up

[hollow shore]

I am not sure about any workarounds that may or may not be possible.

[bold root]

That answers the questions I had. Thanks!

[jovial escarp]

that worked, thank you

[ashen shore]

Still no update for switch to fix the game crash issue with the expedition wtf

[versed mantle]

The bio-horror egg should be available from the quicksilver vendor, no? Just called "whispering companion egg"? Or was there a different bio-horror egg?

[woven shadow]

Oh it’s done!

I know I am late to the party I have not fired up the game in a while.

[steel igloo]

I’ve had like TONZ AND TONS of times where my game crashed on the normal mode while trying to save and it’s super fukin annoying ,does it do that for you while saving in expedition mode?

[ashen shore]

Nope

You have a problem with your switch maybe storage or corrupt data on your internal storage

Or something

[woven shadow]

Okay! I have packed up various items and tech that I want to take back to my main save.

Now to look at the starship….

Oh hey. This has some potential. I will have to work on it.

[median sparrow]

Scrap it!

🙂

[ionic karma]

Someone told me if you die when it bugs it stops it

[lusty slate]

It's normal. Hotfixes on Switch take on average a week.

[blazing fossil]

Okay uhhh, after some testing and file digging it turns out
Sentinel Quad egg
Hungering Worm egg
Child of Helios egg
Are the only eggs you can claim from the expedition vendor assuming this is the only expedition you’ve ever done

[lusty slate]

We didn't get 4.51 until about a week later.

[blazing fossil]

Blob egg and Bio horror egg are not tagged with the same tag

[lusty slate]

Haven't there been reports of the horror egg being successfully claimed?

[blazing fossil]

It was a reward from the Cartographers revisited expedition in December

But assuming this is your first expedition I believe it is impossible to claim it

At least that’s what the code seems to say

[lusty slate]

False. It was a reward for the OG Cartographers. It wasn't in the remix.

[blazing fossil]

@neat latch This is getting more confusing

[neat latch]

I gib up!

[blazing fossil]

Same

Anyways

So far the only 100% confirmed unclaimable egg is blob

[ionic karma]

Same with xbox

I'm just bugged waiting to die

[neat latch]

Blob and Bio-Horror

Neither of those are in the reward table for this season’s unlockables.

[ionic karma]

How long will I take to die while bugged

Who will get thr patch first steam or xbox

[neat latch]

@blazing fossil have you done the original cartographers expedition?

[blazing fossil]

No

I’ve done 11, 9 redux, 10 redux, 3 remix, 12

[neat latch]

Why the heck do you have the flipping bio-horror?

[blazing fossil]

Why are you asking me?

[neat latch]

Because you have it.

If you didn’t do the cartographers expedition, how do you have it?

Friend entity @lusty slate hepp

Or any ofher switcher… as many as possible.

@candid token hepppp!

[candid token]

What?

[candid token]

3 remix is cartographers

[neat latch]

Have you completed the expedition and claimed the community research rewards on the expeditor save/sub-save?

[blazing fossil]

But I didn’t do base cartographers

[neat latch]

I know.
This is why it’s more confusing.

[candid token]

I did on a separate save file. But it freezes when I try to finish omega

[blazing fossil]

Check pins

[neat latch]

Cartographers and the redux had the egg. The redux of the redux, a.k.a remix did not have the egg.

Omega did remix…

So why on earth can he claim the egg?

[candid token]

Which egg?

[blazing fossil]

Bio horror

Whispering companion

[candid token]

The scorpion oryx looking thing?

That's the reward for optional phase 5 of this expedition

Also it was on twitch drops before.

Pretty sure

[neat latch]

It was a twitch drop, yes.

Omega…

[blazing fossil]

I haven’t done any twitch drops

Ever

[neat latch]

Did you claim the twitch drops?

[candid token]

I didn't get the bio horror egg from twitch drops either.
But I am able to claim it from QS shop as expedition rewards. But not the blob

[neat latch]

So you haven’t done cartographers, cartographers redux, and you haven’t claimed the twitch drops, and you have bot even done the cartographers remix… and you claimed the expedition research egg in the expedition save, and somehow you can still claim it on other saves?

[blazing fossil]

I have done remix

[candid token]

Cartographers redux they did

[neat latch]

And you had never claimed this egg in the past?

[candid token]

Correct. That's why I was excited for phase 5

[neat latch]

Well… fffffffffff!

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[candid token]

Maybe it's an error? Or maybe it's a switch exclusive thing? Idk

Probably an error

[blazing fossil]

Okay so the only 2 ways I could have gotten the egg is either cargo remix or omega

[candid token]

Yes

Or twitch drops. But you didn't get those

[blazing fossil]

And I’m 99% sure I claimed it right after ending omega

[candid token]

Same

[blazing fossil]

Not after carto remix

[candid token]

As soon as phase 5 was completed. I finished it on my alternative save file. Then went onto my main and claimed it

[median sparrow]

Post pictures of eggboi

[neat latch]

Cartographers run in 2023 had the egg?

[candid token]

No I don't think so

[neat latch]

That is the remix expedition

So that didn’t have egg.

[blazing fossil]

No

Which means I got it from omega

[neat latch]

So the only way onega could have it is either by twitch or omega

[candid token]

Yes

[neat latch]

Yes!

[blazing fossil]

But I have never done any twitch at all

I must have gotten it from omega

[neat latch]

So on PC things are different.

[candid token]

Either it's an error on the switch
An error on PC
Or because it had never been available on switch before they allowed it to be claimed

[neat latch]

[candid token]

I am on my main save as the expedition right now

[neat latch]

I don’t want to flip the table anymore, I want to defenestrate it.

[candid token]

Are you trying to obtain the egg?

[neat latch]

What do you see when you’re on the main save as main?

[neat latch]

No. I am trying to confirm this once and for all so that I can fix my pinned message.

And tell others the correct information.

[candid token]

Main save as main save

It would seem that on switch its either an error that it's available.
Or they allowed it to be available, as for switch players this is the first time it's been available

[neat latch]

I agree with the second statement.

[candid token]

But I also wanted the blob

[neat latch]

You didn’t claim it in expedition save, or couldn’t claim it on normal saves?

[candid token]

I can only claim this whispering egg on my main (I already got the worm and robo dog from twitch drops and previous expeditions)

And hellos egg

These are currently ALL the expedition reward companions that have ever been available on switch

And to the best of my knowledge the whispering egg as a twitch drop was not available during the life of this game on switch

Also to the best of my knowledge these are all the twitch reward eggs that were ever available on switch (plus the sand worm egg on page 2)

Hopefully this helps with what info you needed?

So I got a question tho.
Does anyone know if you can go to your own base from the expedition?

If I use my main save as the expedition and go to where my main saves base would be, can I see it?

[neat latch]

Thank you!

I think we have confirmation for the switch. Now I want confirmation for other platforms. Once I have that we can confirm with confidence that only the blob egg cannot be claimed.

[candid token]

You're still in Heather's discord right?
Ask fett in there. He has PC PS4 and switch. He plays NMS on all 3

I know an Xbox player I can maybe ask too

[neat latch]

Awesome, thank you. 😊

I’m asking anyone I can… lol!

[candid token]

Does anyone have a huge gold or oxygen base farm they wouldn't mind sharing the glyphs to?

[slim elm]

Ok, I used an existing save for this expedition, I wish I started a new save but I did not. I have several really cool ships and a freighter, and 2 S multi-tools on this exp save but all for not I guess when I transfer back to normal save.

So instead of using storage augments for the ships, I should have saved those and added those to the transfer area? It shows a ship and MT we can clone to use on the expedition, can we clone 1 of each to bring back to normal save?

[candid token]

You can bring unlimited ships and tools back from the expedition

As well as tech installed on the tools and ships. But you are only limited on cargo. The cargo of your ships will not be copied with it. But all installed tech will

[slim elm]

thanks, how do we bring back our ships?

I think I'm at 11 ships on that normal save too.

[candid token]

So while you are inside the expedition mode you will select the ship you want as your main ship. Create a restore point save. Then swap into your main save and create a copy of it.

You can only own 12 ships max. If you already have max 12 ships and try to make a copy of one it will replace your currently equipped ship with the one you are copying

[slim elm]

Great, thanks.

[lusty slate]

@neat latch Sorry, had to go back to work. Confirmed I don't have the bio horror egg and played the remix.

[candid token]

Did you complete the optional expedition stage 5 for omega?

[lusty slate]

Completed yes, claimed no. I'm waiting for the patch.

[candid token]

You have to claim it before it will be available on your main save

[lusty slate]

Yes, I know.

But I can 100% confirm 2023 remix didn't have the egg. Because I remember being disappointed that it didn't.

[candid token]

Yes.
You mean the cartographers redux. Yeah I still have that expedition save file so I can also confirm it doesn't give the egg.

[lusty slate]

ISTR the bio horror egg was the OG reward for expedition completion. Remix replaced it with the Vector.

When the patch comes out, I'll screenshot the QS vendor before/after I claim.

So, let me get this straight. There are reports of PC users not getting the horror egg?

[candid token]

Not reports. It's in the game files as hard code.

[candid token]

Here

[lusty slate]

Weird

[burnt briar]

Hi Morgeil

[burnt briar]

Same :/

[candid token]

This is why I made a new expedition save first. Then after I knew everything redid the expedition with my main

[burnt briar]

I wanted to transfer stuff to make it a bit easier and less frustrating

Also I wanted a decent character starting out

[sly pond]

Quick! Somebody tell me what # Expedition we're on!

[candid token]

12

17 days left I think

[burnt briar]

Yup

17 days

[candid token]

But yeah omega is expedition #12

[hushed star]

Any recommendations on how to get the exotic fauna? I don't think I've been to a single system with an exotic planet. I'm going through one by one. 😦

[round panther]

i heard if they have gold as ressource, one animal only. there should be exotic creature.

i went a bit off path, to a different color system and rather quickly found one (maybe just luck)

[blazing fossil]

Red systems
Planets with gold

[hushed star]

Oh like disonnant systems?

[candid token]

No

Dissonant systems and exotic planets have nothing to do with eachother.

You can find exotic planets in dissonant systems. But going to a dissonant system won't mean that there is an exotic planet there.

[hushed star]

Then why would a red system be more likely to have an exotic planet?

[candid token]

It's just a % increase to find them there.
Red as in stellar class

[hushed star]

Ohhhh cool. Will give it a shot. Thanks all! 🧡

[ionic karma]

Might keep this save

[mint oracle]

Had the same problem yesterday, there is an exotic planet in the atlas interface system very near the rendezvous 5 system, i landed there and got my exotic kill in seconds

[median sparrow]

Has anyone else eaten the moon yet?

[hushed star]

system called Yusvadbeat XII. The planet is called Upacton Sigma. TAA DAA.
