nms-expedition

[remote thunder]

might be a little tricky to land as high as possible, but it's doable

there's probably other planets along exp route that are suitable

[gusty crater]

Yea will have to just keep looking

[limpid swift]

what are all the ways to find a crashed ship in exp13?

[vague swift]

what does it mean when I can "make a copy of my ship and multitool"

[strong dawn]

I’m seeing folks talking about the expedition but it doesn’t appear to be available yet for me on Xbox. Is this known?

[blazing fossil]

Update your game

[strong dawn]

lol I did

[gusty crater]

did you fully end the last expe?

[blazing fossil]

Then it should be

[remote thunder]

assuming we get those bps as well, there's a milestone that rewards nautilon (sunken ship) and another that rewards minotaur (surface crashed ship)

[strong dawn]

Hmm fully completed it. Maybe missed an end step

[gusty crater]

taken all the items out and press purge or something whatever the button is?

[strong dawn]

Must be part of the new system. Will try!

[remote thunder]

type !faq-expedition in #bot-spam , see "finishing an expedition"

[limpid swift]

does it complete this milestone?

[fading python]

what is the number of this expedition?

[limpid swift]

13

[fading python]

thanks

[karmic current]

Ok ancient bones any tips

I'm burning hyperdrive furl just jumping around

[remote thunder]

should yes

[remote thunder]

start with planets in rdv systems

[keen mango]

What loot should i bring with me to the expedition

[remote thunder]

many milestones don't have to be completed in order

[remote thunder]

list will grow, but for now, and besides basics: deuterium

[gentle solar]

carbon, a fair bit, chromatic metal (at least 325)

[keen mango]

Ok

[karmic current]

That's what been doing

But they don't have any bones

[remote thunder]

have you reached rdv5?

been scanning all planets?

[karmic current]

Just accidentally reached 4

And yes

[remote thunder]

not every objective in the game will hold the players hand, that's for sure

[gusty crater]

Could i just form terrain below me lol?

wrong reply mb.

[karmic current]

True but just I'm burning so much fuel so idk just trying to see if there's something I'm missing

[karmic current]

Yes that works

[gloomy moss]

So the entire universe is abandoned but there are still sentinels

[limpid swift]

yes

I find that hard to believe, but it's a nice exp

[finite steeple]

new expeditions? finally? HOORAY

also, hello BK

[gloomy moss]

I hate sentinels

[finite steeple]

but they are so much fun though....

well.... the ship versions anyway... i dont like those mechs

sigh.. i know 40 mins for a 13GB update is pretty fast... but i still wish i could get on my game and go nuts...

last one i did was umm. think it was called polestar?

[limpid swift]

For those that strugle to find robot fauna, I just noticed, you get a path to a system that has that kind of fauna on a planet

[snow bobcat]

also they spawn only in blue systems

[limpid swift]

and that

[lethal mantle]

Phase one was rough, but fun!

[finite steeple]

thats good to know. never knew that part.

ive hunted for robot pets before and it sucked. lol

i just kept checking glitch worlds

[wraith token]

I'm currently in creative to get stuff for the expedition, Is there a better way to get materials than craft and destroy?

[lyric roost]

The whispering egg mission is insane

[gusty crater]

its boring thats for sure

[gloomy moss]

I can't find any copper

[snow bobcat]

its not that hard if you know that (i suppose) only 2 types of buildings can spawn: warehouse and station with whispering eggs

[gloomy moss]

It's just magnetized ferrite and cursed dust

[snow bobcat]

also first planet has plenty of them

[finite steeple]

i mean... technically. but its probably frowned upon. which makes no real sense.

[gusty crater]

just find a airless planet, theyre every like 100m

[remote thunder]

only in uncharted systems, not just blue stars; for example, 95% of red star systems are uncharted

[snow bobcat]

yep

[trail kraken]

has the expedition already started

[snow bobcat]

yes

[trail kraken]

aight

how long is it

as in when's the "deadline"

[limpid swift]

15th of july

[trail kraken]

oh alright

thanks

[karmic current]

Do ancient bones just not exist?

Oh bruh nvm guess what I just found

Nice rng

[lethal mantle]

2 months

[wraith token]

Is this good stuff to bring?

[limpid swift]

some yea. but How can you bring that?

[wraith token]

Wdym?

It's just where you do an expedition

[lethal mantle]

Terminal in anomaly. Available for use after phase 1

[limpid swift]

ahhhh got it

[lethal mantle]

Use it before you start your exp

Then u can access after phase 1

[snow bobcat]

bring some emeryl

[wraith token]

What for

I have indium drive in tech

[snow bobcat]

oh

ok

[neat latch]

Question: is the galactic trade terminal available to buy and sell items we may carry over from the main save?

[wraith token]

I read emeryl as fentanyl btw

[neat latch]

[snow bobcat]

yes

[neat latch]

Thank you.

[snow bobcat]

if you mean "can i sell items, that i brought from main save" then yes

[neat latch]

Yep, that is exactly what I mean.

😄

[gloomy moss]

First warp of the expedition

[mellow badge]

empty anomaly is very spooky

[remote thunder]

here, -help, any's fine

[keen bloom]

just got into the expedition and the first thing i see is a giant worm trying to kill me

also how am i going to get deutrium and tritrum without leaving the planet

[ashen shore]

It happens, got me mining copper

Rough neighborhood

[gloomy reef]

for deutriym you combine dihydrogen and soil

its a custom recipe for the expedition

i forgot what the soil is called

the stuff you get with the terrain tool

💀

[ashen shore]

Silicate powder

Dust

Stuf

[snow bobcat]

if no one is here

why i cant just steal it

sad

[gusty crater]

Still cannot find a tall enough mountain

[mellow badge]

make one?

[snow bobcat]

look at your discoveries

[gloomy moss]

This copper deposit is HUGE

[gusty crater]

how so?

[snow bobcat]

rendezvous planet will have tall enough mountains

[mellow badge]

built a very tall pillar? I dunno, only reached rdv1 before taking a break

[gloomy moss]

633 copper already

[gusty crater]

on rdv2?

[snow bobcat]

2nd or 3rd one i believe

[wraith token]

How do i even get oxygen

[snow bobcat]

tap c

[wraith token]

Theres nothing here

[wraith token]

? I'm on ps

[snow bobcat]

scanner

[mellow badge]

you can scan to find em, you can also scan the rocks, on the first planet some give Oxygen

[gloomy moss]

I won the copper deposit lottery

[wraith token]

OHHH I FORGOT THE SCANNER

[snow bobcat]

bruh

move your left stick to move btw

[gusty crater]

How am i meant to know which planet it is if i cant finish it lol

[wraith token]

🤯

Ferrite dust also has oxygen

[remote thunder]

most of the times, you don't necessarily need to complete all milestones in a phase before selecting and progressing a milestone from a phase ahead

[snow bobcat]

you dont have to do it right away

[remote thunder]

this is why it's advantageous to cursor over all milestones, from all phases, to plan ahead

[gusty crater]

Found a person with a location

[lethal mantle]

I'm getting this same issue

Inventory full, but definitely is not

[remote thunder]

that sounds like a bug

[lethal mantle]

Yep

[cedar badger]

Yeah I can redeem others but not that one specific milestone.
Thankfully it's not needed to complete the overall phase.

[lethal mantle]

Yeah, it's definitely bugged

[remote thunder]

make do and mend, wasn't it?

[native igloo]

Found an issue. I need deuterium to fix the launch thrusters but can't get any tritium as that needs me to go into space

[remote thunder]

refine silicate powder+dihydro

[gloomy moss]

Epic

I like this paradise planet

It is a lot different from the other planets

[lethal mantle]

Yes

[mellow badge]

yea, I didnt know Silicate Powder was added for that recipe until after I pinned the milestone and the popup thing told me

[vivid wing]

How do I get deuterium if I can’t leave the planet?

[remote thunder]

see above

[gloomy moss]

Guess how tall he is

[gusty crater]

atleast 15ft

[mellow badge]

I like VR very much, is fun flying with the manual controls n such

[gloomy moss]

He is like 18 feet tall

[mellow badge]

kinda looks like a Baboon Bunny

[gloomy moss]

Giant baboon bunny

[queen nova]

Wait fr new expedition starting now

[gloomy moss]

He can climb mountains VERY fast

[mellow badge]

Eeyup, a very lonely expedition

[queen nova]

Oh still fun

Waiting for my game to update

[mellow badge]

the empty anomaly is quite spooky

[queen nova]

Wait so it's only a solo expedition

[mellow badge]

no, there are no aliens, only other players and animals

and a lot of Sandworms

[queen nova]

Oh God not the sandworms

[mellow badge]

Beetlejuice's worst nightmare

[gloomy moss]

It could have been renamed

Oh wait I think that happens sometimes when you are claiming the nanites

[mellow badge]

people think they are being clever by renaming things inappropriately

[queen nova]

My dad has tried that

[blazing rapids]

How are we supposed to get deuterium?

[wintry void]

refine

[mellow badge]

Silicate Powder instead of Tritanium,

that recipe is part of current expedition, if you select the milestone it will tell you

[blazing rapids]

But I can't make the portable refiner, don't even see where it unlocks

[wintry void]

you unlock advanced 1

[mellow badge]

you get backpack refiner via milestone

even get a prepacked shotgun from a milestone for multi-tool

[inland lynx]

This is the first update I’m not at all interested in. Loved every one before this one, so can’t complain

[gloomy moss]

It's not that much of a update

[mellow badge]

im just glad Sentinels dont seem as tough as normal, ended up having to take out a Walker because I had geknip that made em mad when I got scanned while repairing my ship

[gloomy moss]

Because they are spreading out updates from expeditions

I forgot if they where doing it before light no fire but if not then it is because of light no fire

[mellow badge]

and instead of being able to hide until they get bored, you gotta take em out before you can hide

after I killed that walker, the Sentinels on the planet got disabled

[inland lynx]

are there twitch drops?

[hollow shore]

I am about to spam a few posts. I'll wait for both of you to give me a moment, thank you

[mellow badge]

just looked, I see no twitch drops

[hollow shore]

Alright, incoming ...

[lethal mantle]

Wats a surge battery 8O

[gloomy moss]

I think it's a better starship shield battery

[mellow badge]

wait, I need to get some BBQ Sauce to dip all tha spam in

[finite steeple]

somnal dust? is that a new item?

i cant even move yet and ive already seen a Deathworm... im going to die...lol

[steady idol]

Whwre the anomaly at

[mellow badge]

one of the milestones lets you summon it after you reach the 1st rdv

[naive prism]

do we know where the mechanical animals are?

[mellow badge]

dunno, would have to check around the rdv systems I think

[dry escarp]

Can i locate if the system has planet with bones from the map?

[mellow badge]

can always ask google methinks

[rose veldt]

In blue systems it seems

[dry escarp]

and you can shut up

[mellow badge]

Praise Be To Google, Give Your Soul To The Daemons of Google...also drink coffee

[gloomy moss]

I just lost all my surge batteries because it isn't looking for holo terminuses

[dry escarp]

there is a help channel for a reason here

[mellow badge]

I used signal booster once and found a holo terminal

[gloomy moss]

And one time it just showed the one right next to me

[rose veldt]

Same

Seems its the first option if you have active in the logs

[gloomy moss]

Do I just have to get lucky and if I don't get lucky I can't do the expedition

[mellow badge]

are you using scan for structures? (the normal option)

[gloomy moss]

Yes

[mellow badge]

if you have the milestone pinned you should see 2 scan options

[gloomy moss]

Wait was I supposed to do transmitters

[mellow badge]

yes, scan for transmitters

[gloomy moss]

I really hope I can buy surge batteries from the stations

[mellow badge]

the first station for me had Suspicious Package (arms) but almost 300k

[steady idol]

I brought 50 fusion ignitors in for some cash, dunno how useful that'll be

[terse dust]

I brought a ton of modules to sell, which also might not help lmao

[mellow badge]

I started exp with a new save, felt kinda cheaty to bring in a bunch of crap to sell from normal save

[quasi prawn]

how do i get deuterium at the beginning?

[steady idol]

I earned that stuff, way I see it anyway

[dry escarp]

combine silicon powder and dihydrogen

[mellow badge]

I think this info needs pinned, a lot of people asking

[gloomy moss]

I think I am stuck

[mellow badge]

seems people dont seem to realize the milestone tells you how to make it

[quasi prawn]

thank you

[rose veldt]

What happend

[gloomy moss]

I used my surge batteries on the wrong thing

[mellow badge]

Blaze scanned for Structures instead of Transmitters

[rose veldt]

You can make anothers

You should(?) have the blueprint for it

[gloomy moss]

It never gave me the blueprint

[balmy raptor]

Do we need to make 2 minds ark?

[rose veldt]

@gloomy moss you get it by destroying 40 asteroids

[gloomy moss]

That only gave me 5

Not the blueprint

[mellow badge]

maybe someone has some spare

[balmy raptor]

Or not

[rose veldt]

Ahh then seems I did something else

For example the only thing I can think of is make do and mend

Gives component crafting blueprints

[rose veldt]

Just 1 until now for me

[terse dust]

Got distracted

[balmy raptor]

Yeah it was 1

[fading python]

wht should I do in anomoly sttion? seek answer in stars

[balmy raptor]

It's just at the step where you need to go to a portal it said I had none

Went back to the anomaly and got it back

[balmy raptor]

Go to the room in the far left

[mellow badge]

when you get in the anomaly, use the scanner, it will point you to the terminal in the back

[balmy raptor]

Next to the portal room

[fading python]

thnks

[mellow badge]

im at that point, it wants a Mind Ark, taking a gaming break

[gloomy moss]

There isn't a way to ask anyone for spare surge batteries though

[steady idol]

Time to get my ship

If I'm doing this I'm doing it with a quality ship

[gloomy moss]

I might be able to save edit

But I also don't want to save edit

[median harbor]

How quickly do you think I could get the same outfit as my main nms character in this expedition

[balmy raptor]

Cant you restore to before using them on the wrong thing

[steady idol]

Depends on wbat it is, QS is out

[gloomy moss]

Probably happened to long ago but I will still try

[median harbor]

Damn

[gloomy moss]

Yeah happened to long ago

[rose veldt]

When you are used to play so much on your normal save, where you have automatically recharge launch thruster ... I always forget to recharge in here 😅 1500 u away, and no fuel in it

Well 1500 is not so much.. Time to run

[steady idol]

Haha that's why I B lined my ship

That ans for storage

[opal oyster]

I'm assuming the new hauler will be able to be acquired twice like the starborn runner?

[steady idol]

I become a hoarder in expeds

[keen bloom]

will worm hive systems be added to the base game if they arent already?

[gloomy moss]

The only option is save editing

[steady idol]

I also wore a cape the now and harvested eggs... felt very helldiver

[ashen shore]

Damn i didnt know i missed this old chat till it was no longer in use

[deft remnant]

Is the expedition already out?

[limpid swift]

can you sell upgrades for nanites?

[rose veldt]

Yes

[median harbor]

Came out earlier today for pc, Xbox, and playstation

[elfin seal]

Can't wait to play this at the weekend.

[deft remnant]

Fr

[keen bloom]

im in the 2nd system and decided to rename some random planet [DATA EXPUNGED]

i dont know why but i decided to

you all go have fun on that planet

[terse loom]

We supposed to not have the refinery etc at th start?

[keen bloom]

you get the portable refiner later on after one of the first things

[balmy raptor]

Anyone knows if the multitool's hypercharge slots you get is based on the one you had equipped before starting the expedition?

[old fox]

DID A NEW EXPI JUST LAUNCH?!

[balmy raptor]

Ye

[old fox]

LETS GO BABY

[jolly summit]

Is this one of those that you can start from the anomaly, or should I start a new save?

[balmy raptor]

Both work

[old fox]

and we can use our existing characters because of the anomoly thing ye?

[balmy raptor]

Though my Mt seems to have the hypercharge slots based on the one I had equipped when starting from the anomaly so that's that

[static tartan]

If we do it on a new save does it still count for our main?

I've never done an expedition

[balmy raptor]

What do you mean count?

If you mean the rewards you can claim them on any save

[static tartan]

Yeh that's what I meant

[ashen shore]

How do I bring stuff? I'm at the terminal and can copy ship but can't do items

[gloomy moss]

How can I get more surge batteries

[neat latch]

Wiring loom, where form? Friend entity @remote thunder, hep.

[rose veldt]

I got mine from space stations

[frosty rain]

Can we use our main save/char for this expedition too like the previous expedition?

[terse loom]

U can get the portable in the anomaly later at least? I wanna dupe stuff

[neat latch]

Thank you

[balmy raptor]

[keen bloom]

you get it before leaving the system

but after the first few things

[terse loom]

Okay thank god

[gloomy moss]

I might just need to save edit to give myself a surge battery

[terse loom]

Thank you:)

[balmy raptor]

You mean a personal refiner

I didn't get a portable one so far

[gloomy moss]

I need to save edit to get a surge battery but I have no idea how to do that

[rich pilot]

seems that just the mission in the log says it but not the material catalogue (it says just tritium)

[elfin seal]

I've done been part of an expedition before so I don't know what I'm walking in to

Can we bring stuff or can we just bring a ship and effectively start from scratch when we arrive?

[rich pilot]

(reply to unluckyturtle) I've never tried to start an expedition on an existing save, is it even possible? I know the anomaly just has a station that says the current expedition. pretty sure you just gotta start a new save with the expedition

[lusty slate]

Are you in the expedition already? You have to transfer items to the terminal before you start it.

[lusty slate]

It is possible. It was a feature added in Omega.

[rich pilot]

ah neat

[gloomy moss]

Ok

[topaz brook]

i'm guessing we don't get access to the anomaly in this one, and therefore no bringing stuff over?

[gloomy moss]

How the hell am I supposed to continue with the expedition because I put my surge batteries into the wrong thing

And it never gave me the blueprint

[rich pilot]

oh no

[mellow badge]

after you use holo terminus, you can summon anomoly as its one of the milestones

in Phase 2

[balmy raptor]

Yea

[topaz brook]

i see

[gloomy moss]

I do have a idea thoug

[naive prism]

i never knew i'd be so happy to see this

[finite steeple]

how do you refine deuterium?

[mellow badge]

its empty though, so no quicksilver merchent

[topaz brook]

spooky

[rich pilot]

combine dihydrogen and silicate powder

[mellow badge]

yes, spooky, specially with a deactived Nada just standing there

[rich pilot]

that sounds sad

[gloomy moss]

It is

[terse loom]

Did we figure out whether or not we can get multiple frigates of the damned (possibly by duping whatever item makes you find the frigate if that item exists)

[gloomy moss]

If they weren't just wiped out of existence peacefully then what happened to the others

[molten laurel]

How am supposed to refine deuterium if tritium is only available on asteroids and my ship need deuterium to start? Thx.

[gloomy moss]

Is it a alternate universe where the atlas got rid of everything

[gloomy moss]

Silicate powder

[terse loom]

Thank you my saviour

[molten laurel]

You can make tritium from silicate?!

[rich pilot]

lol no

it just lets you use silicate instead

if it has always been a thing, devs should update the material catalogue to say it

[lusty slate]

Me: writing a resource shopping list to bring over

[molten laurel]

Wow, thx

[rich pilot]

it does say it in the mission log (easy to miss, I did too)

[gloomy moss]

Yeah replace silicate with tritium

[tame nacelle]

Wuhuuu new expedition to jump in! Have fun everyone will join at the weekend ^_^

[balmy raptor]

Hyperdrive fuel

[mellow badge]

the milestone shows the silicate powder change for Deuterium recipe

[lusty slate]

I know, just meant in general. And refining is your friend.

[gloomy moss]

They changed it for this expedition

Idk why they didn't just not use deuterium though

[humble bramble]

Only the tedious milestones left like waypoints and stuff basically

This expedition has been easy

But also boring

[fringe agate]

Tis what happens when you just rush through and don't let yourself get sidetracked

[mellow badge]

also if you bring stuff over from normal save to sell for tons of credits n such

[humble bramble]

I didn't follow the golden rule of the wasteland

[terse loom]

Doesnt work for me

[mellow badge]

you put Silicate Powder and Dehydrogen in the Personal Refiner mk2 in your exosuit

[gloomy moss]

Just do di hydrogen and silicate powder

[terse loom]

Ohhh

Oke

Thank

[keen bloom]

i somehow scanned a biological horror

huh

[mellow badge]

I did too, and the giant sandworms that fly through the air and dive into the ground

shows an error on the scanner though

an actual game script error, not like the errors you see in the shopping terminal

[hushed heart]

how many nanites do i need to bring a maxed multitool and ship again? i forgor 💀

[humble bramble]

Alien ruins are like monoliths and plaques and all that jazz right

[mellow badge]

that just makes expeditions boring, to bring maxed out crap from normal saves

[gloomy moss]

I almost died from fall damage 2 times on this planet

[keen bloom]

do i search for transmitters or nearby structures

[upbeat raptor]

Transmitters

[shell rivet]

Man this mountain one is so tedious

[dry escarp]

how do i even get wiring loom to get to the blue systems?

[ashen shore]

That's an oof on my part

[shell rivet]

Can you not craft them? If not look for abandoned trade outposts on planets the trade terminal should have some to buy

[dry escarp]

wiring loom can not be crafted

[queen nova]

What with this version mis match

[dry escarp]

also, trade terminals are working?

[shell rivet]

Yep

[dry escarp]

bruh

[shell rivet]

I went to one and it seemed fine

[gloomy moss]

My idea for getting more surge batteries didn't work

[dry escarp]

i thought as the hole universe is abandoned so terminals wouldn't work

[shell rivet]

At space stations yeah cause they are empty pretty much

[remote thunder]

right now steam cannot play with consoles

[balmy raptor]

Do whispering eggs respawn or do I need to find another abandonned building

[shell rivet]

It's faster to just find another

[cedar badger]

So the "It's Alive" milestone is also bugged with the same issue.
Tells me my inventory is full when it is clearly not.
So that's two milestones that can't be redeemed.

[queen nova]

They ever fixing it

[gloomy moss]

What is the stealth paint for

[hushed heart]

this starting planet is awful. have to disable screenshake

[finite steeple]

first chance i get im dumping this starter ship...

[karmic current]

Welp-

[ashen shore]

Almost done already

Noice

[karmic current]

There's a bug 👌

It doesn't show me the objective

[remote thunder]

are you in rdv3 system? what do you see/get as mission hint when you select reach rdv3 milestone from phase 3?

[karmic current]

No
I can't select rdv 3 it say complete with no option to select

[remote thunder]

it's already completed and claimed it seems

[karmic current]

Yup

So what do I do lol I'm pretty cooked

[remote thunder]

claim phase 3 reward down at the bottom if you haven't yet, select phase 4 on the left, phase 4 milestone 1, keep going

[karmic current]

I did

I'm almost done with 4 I just need the 'to dream of freedom' which is the bugged one I'm here for rn

[gloomy moss]

Imma make a ship with my stealth paint

[finite steeple]

theres stealth paint?

[gloomy moss]

Once I get the rest of the parts

[remote thunder]

ah i see now, sorry. tried to save+reload?

[karmic current]

Yup nothing changed

[limpid swift]

Is there a choice that needs to be made at the end of the frighter run? Cause I chose nanites

[remote thunder]

normally when it says fully explore it means going to all rooms

[finite steeple]

ooo... expedition route gives you a dissonant... goooodBYE starter ship.

[remote thunder]

the reward you pick from engineering room shouldnt matter

[limpid swift]

I think I did tho

[humble bramble]

Do I need to be in the rendezvous systems for the dreaming stuff

[remote thunder]

the DF mission hint on the lower right should say how many rooms you entered

[remote thunder]

sorry, i don't know yet

[humble bramble]

Wait wtf when did they add the rendezvous point info to the space station teleporter

Good QOL

[remote thunder]

no, the mission hint lower right of the hud, not in pause menu

[limpid swift]

it doesn't appear in the corner

[humble bramble]

I encountered this too I think

[remote thunder]

if you force cycle through hints, it should pop

[finite steeple]

a dissonant water world...

[limpid swift]

how do I do that?

[karmic current]

How'd you fix it if you did

[remote thunder]

H or dpad left iirc

[humble bramble]

I haven't

I'm doing everything else first

[limpid swift]

I don't have that mission there, even tho it is in my menu

[dry escarp]

How do i locate autophages without the autophage scanner thingy?

[naive prism]

has anyone found the 3 robotic species yet?

[naive prism]

afaik you can't, because you can't trigger the quest for it

[dry escarp]

so how to do this milestone

[finite steeple]

welp. im excited now. i havea dissonant water world. which ive wanted for MONTHS. and was told isnt a thing...lol

[devout charm]

I'm looking for them too. Says blue stars

[gloomy moss]

Guys I totally just got the new expedition ship

[remote thunder]

in non-expedition modes, robo fauna only spawns in uncharted system planets (not dead biome planets though), i.e. systems with no race icon on the galaxy map

[cedar badger]

Okay that's an unsettling pose.

[devout charm]

If you find them drop a base

[dry escarp]

so fauna? not autophages?

[noble cobalt]

chat help im doing this for like an hour and im soo confused

[dry escarp]

that makes more sense

[remote thunder]

@noble cobalt ^ robo fauna

[noble cobalt]

i cant find it

[dry escarp]

ye, ik about those robo dogs

so i just have to find metalic anomaly planet?

[karmic current]

Ok so I will have to get my completion later then everyone else 🙃

[remote thunder]

in non-expedition modes, robo fauna only spawns in uncharted system planets (not dead biome planets though), i.e. systems with no race icon on the galaxy map

[noble cobalt]

the problem is that i cant find the dead planets

[remote thunder]

any planet in uncharted systems that doesn't have rusted metal on resource list can have robo fauna: there will only be 2 species on the planet

[dry escarp]

why does this expedition change so much

[devout charm]

It can't be truly dead or there will be no fauna

[limpid swift]

@remote thunder do I also need to read all the logs?

[remote thunder]

dead, with rusted metal on resource list, can't spawn fauna

[noble cobalt]

im confused

what planet should i hunt then

[remote thunder]

any planet in uncharted systems that's not dead

[devout charm]

This one

[dry escarp]

like this planet?

[remote thunder]

i am not sure, sorry - try it. you're playing solo yes?

[limpid swift]

yea

[noble cobalt]

like this?

[remote thunder]

yes

[gloomy moss]

How could I save edit to give myself a surge battery

[remote thunder]

try asking around #nms-modding

[dry escarp]

can robotic animal be a fish?

or a bird

[noble cobalt]

i cant find the stupid ROBOTIC FAUNA

[naive prism]

it's in blue systems

[still gulch]

is there a faster way to reach elevation 1600u? other than staircasing up?

[naive prism]

i staircase'd up

low gravity on the starter planet

it was asked before but i can't find it, how do you get the wiring looms for the blue system?

[dry escarp]

renvedous 2 planet has moutains, i tried there

[humble bramble]

There was a mountain near rendezvous 3 I think

It might have been 2

@karmic current did you send a bug report btw

[noble cobalt]

CHAT 😭

[karmic current]

I did

[remote thunder]

fly with ship, land as close to the top as possible

[remote thunder]

some said that they just bought them

[shell rivet]

Can sentinel ships count as a crashed ship for phase 3

[devout charm]

Rendezvous 5 will complete the mountain climbing one no problem.

[naive prism]

errmageeerd, it's real!

[karmic current]

All there's left is to wait

[noble cobalt]

CHAT I WAS IN like 0284 planets and no robots

[karmic current]

Have you tried a blue system

[devout charm]

Blue system. Uncharted.

[noble cobalt]

dont u think im on blue systems

[gloomy moss]

Is anyone able to give me a spare surge battery

[balmy raptor]

Anyone knows how ghost frigates work?

Found one in space but it just left

[remote thunder]

@noble cobalt when you have the milestone selected, what does the HUD mission system say you need to do? is there a curren mission destination in the galaxy map?

[noble cobalt]

this just pops up

[karmic current]

I'll be ok 🙏 maybe

[hushed heart]

is there anything special about the new frigate other than appearance?

[remote thunder]

sorry, don't know what that is yet; are you talking about the ship of the damned frigate?

[balmy raptor]

Yeah

[naive prism]

not all stations have it, but you can buy the Tech packs, which you can unpack into upgrades, which you can then scrap for the looms

[balmy raptor]

There was one in front of me, kinda like a space encounter
Received a transmission but then it just left

[remote thunder]

i started with a sus packet tech in my ship inventory

[remote thunder]

not sure, haven't reached that point yet

[remote thunder]

this isn't the HUD; this the pause menu btw

[remote thunder]

look, i don't know why it's saying that

[noble cobalt]

😭

[remote thunder]

what i know is

robo fauna only spawns in uncharted systems, regardless if it's blue, green or red

[remote thunder]

and "empty worlds" aka "dead" certainly don't have fauna, not in normal mode anyway

and fwiw, from the biome probability table, weird biome planets (gold on resource list) are more common in red star systems, while dead has the same weight across red, green and blue

[balmy raptor]

I managed to find it again, it has a dialogue then has an option that says ping communicator

[noble cobalt]

3rd system with NO ROBOTIC FAUNA

[steady idol]

Way points?

[cedar badger]

Welp this is troubling....
I guess I can't complete the expedition because I'm required to redeem the rewards from the bugged milestone.

[remote thunder]

solar mirror bp can be learned from space anomaly/synthesis lab as well

[steady idol]

Best, efficient way to get em?

[remote thunder]

solar mirror can also be bought

[cedar badger]

Oh really? I thought the terminals on the anomaly were disabled for the expedition.

[sonic shale]

Regarding the Expedition Terminus' "Additional Starting Equipment", do I have to fill that all out at the start, or can I load that up later once I reach the Terminus in the Expedition?

[remote thunder]

i just either fly low and slow with my ship, use surface exocraft radar tech to scan for buildings e.g. minotaur+radar array, use visor and look for unknown buildings

[remote thunder]

the former

[sonic shale]

thanks

[knotty pasture]

after completing Lights Out I didnt receive hyperdrive plans, any way around that or do i have to restart?

[cedar badger]

Bought the solar mirror, thank you! 😄

[remote thunder]

did you claim the milestone after completing it?

[knotty pasture]

yes

[remote thunder]

did you click on a free ship tech slot, searched for the tech in all pages available, and it's not there? double checked?

[karmic current]

||also the freighter you get has no neck- at least for me bugs are coming in hot||

[knotty pasture]

ah .. my mistake it is there

thanks

[finite steeple]

man this game just does not want to give me an echo

[devout charm]

10% change right? Keep trying.

[noble cobalt]

be45ytg3jk45t932ui4t9

[remote thunder]

40% of green and blue stars are uncharted, 95% of red stars are uncharted

[vivid wing]

Where can I find the three robotic animals?

[dry escarp]

it's so good to be flying my max out ship, the one i got at the begining of the expedition flown like a brick

[remote thunder]

focus on systems that don't have a race icon on the galaxy map - iow, the stars colored white when "lifeform" filter is selected on the top right; ignore planets with rusted metal on resource list

[noble cobalt]

LETS GOOOO

I FOUND EM

[remote thunder]

near a rdv system? that'd be nice

[dry escarp]

is it 2 per system or 2 per planet?

[remote thunder]

not sure i get the question

[noble cobalt]

2 pre planet

2 per*

[dry escarp]

if im not mixing something up you said there are 2 robotic animal per system or per planet

[dry escarp]

in that case im getting scammed

2nd planet without any robotic animal

[noble cobalt]

same

[dry escarp]

wat

tf u mean "same"

[remote thunder]

when you land on a planet, or scan a system with freighter scanner room - if a planet only has 2 fauna species, then that planet has robo fauna

[dry escarp]

ohhh

i thought there would be 2 robo among (us) normal animals

[remote thunder]

they never mix with non robo fauna

[median sparrow]

Anything I should bring over to make this expedition faster?

[dry escarp]

this expedition changed a lot

[dry escarp]

i recommend bringing a spare indium drive

[gloomy moss]

I can't even do the expedition anymore because the stupid surge batteries aren't craftable

[dry escarp]

you can buy them at the space station

[finite steeple]

dont you get them from rewards?

[dawn tiger]

any recommendations on what to bring to the expedition?

[gloomy moss]

[dry escarp]

rusted metal is a no no planet for robo fauna, right?

[remote thunder]

correct

[dry escarp]

what does that mean?

[remote thunder]

sorry i don't yet have a list of things that i really find necessary - on a quick glance from milestone rewards, i didn't really feel a need to note down anything yet

[gloomy moss]

I spent so long trying to figure out how to get surge batteries

[steady idol]

I need one robo creature

One

Can't find another planet

[remote thunder]

patience, 2months left to complete expedition

[steady idol]

Eh need it done by end of week but yeah

[remote thunder]

just casually explore to keep your mind away from it, from making it feel like a grind 🙂

stick to uncharted systems, you'll get some eventually - focus on uncharted systems around rdv systems i'd suggest

[topaz brook]

is the 1600u mountain milestone difficult or is it one of those things that happens along the way?

[remote thunder]

rdv3 planet is suitable

[topaz brook]

cool

[valid roost]

Yh can't rlly be bothered to read through this entire sub server thing, what should I bring with me to make life easier?

Also does anyone know if its out on switch?

[snow bobcat]

finished expedition. kinda boring ngl

[remote thunder]

sorry i don't yet have a list of things that i really find necessary - on a quick glance from milestone rewards, i didn't really feel a need to note down anything yet
some have been suggesting packaged indium drive, i'd add in basic mats like o2, c metal, etc

[remote thunder]

apparently not

[valid roost]

So pretty much the essentials for recharging life support/hazard protection?

[keen bloom]

on the starter planet i found an area with mountains higher than 1,6000 units so maybe fly around until you find high mountains there

[valid roost]

Ah alr, thanks for the heads up

[naive prism]

i think the robo animals may need some clarification, it just says "blue systems, gl", but i haven't found any robot boiis yet

[remote thunder]

for example yeah; perhaps bring a solar mirror too - i don't really have a must have list atm sorry

[dry escarp]

the "B" means it's the blue system, right?

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message>

[valid roost]

Yh dw

[remote thunder]

B or O are blue stars yep

[valid roost]

No clue how to get a solar mirror though

[remote thunder]

solar mirror bp can be learned from space anomaly/synthesis lab as well

[dry escarp]

then i got scammed, entire system had no robo fauna

[keen bloom]

you have to look for uncharted blue stars

[remote thunder]

it's not all uncharted systems that will have any

[keen bloom]

for the expedition it says specifically blue systems

[naive prism]

^

hence the confusion, i guess

[valid roost]

Oh yh ik what you mean, nvm

[remote thunder]

yes, well, i'm going from game knowledge

[keen bloom]

(they can be found anywhere in undetected systems normally though)

[remote thunder]

uncharted

and i'll be trying to find them anywhere not just in blue stars -- because if they did that, that would mean that they'd be tweaking the entire universe, or at least galaxy

[fringe agate]

Well, they did make everything abandoned

[shell rivet]

How can I find a 'synthetic" creature all it tells me to go is go to blue stellar systems

[cedar badger]

The expedition freighter is using the pirate docking bay externals.

[keen bloom]

a 'synthetic' creature are the robotic animals found in uncharted systems

[steady idol]

There a keyword to look for for robo auna planets?

[remote thunder]

because the save you loaded before this exp save has a pirate freighter - game restart and it should fix that

[keen bloom]

just look in uncharted systems (dont look for them on dead planets you wont find any there)

[topaz brook]

anywhere close to one of the rendezvous systems?

[unkempt kraken]

to view info below, enable embeds

<:NmsAtlas:972222451801010207> **How to find Mechafauna?**

Mechafauna are an alien animal species in No Man's Sky. They appear as mechanical, sentient quadrupeds (should not be confused with sentinel quads, or arachnids), and come with an assortment of ornamental parts. See image »

There are some very specific things to look for when trying to find the mechafauna:

• You must be in an Uncharted system (Red, Blue, Green stars, preferably in Red).
• After scanning the system either via Freighter or by landing on the planets:
• Either select the Exploration Guide in your logs to check how many fauna species are on that planet.
• Or look at the hint at the bottom right hand side of the screen after scanning anything on the planet while exploration guide is selected from the logs.
• Or look into the Discovery tab to find the total number of creatures.
  The planet must have 2 animal species only.

📖 Did you know?

• Mechafauna can be tamed, ridden, but they can only be decorated on their chest.
• Creature Pellets can be used to tame them, but only with Automated Feeders. Direct interaction uses an Ion Battery, and they produce chewy wire instead of organic materials.
• They lay eggs that can be genetically modified in the Egg Sequencer. A list of items used to change their color can be found here #nms-fauna message

[lusty stream]

i think im softlocked with finding the holo terminal thing

[noble cobalt]

great im doomed

what im supposted to do

[keen bloom]

warp 128321938 times i guess

[remote thunder]

set lifeform filter, warp to white stars

[remote thunder]

how so? can you elaborate a bit?

[noble cobalt]

its like lightyears far away

[keen bloom]

you can get there in 3 warps

[remote thunder]

300LY away is not that far

[keen bloom]

just get some warp cells

[remote thunder]

at base warp range, it's 3 warps

[lusty stream]

i ran out of the battery things you need to scan for the holo tower bc none of the things it scanned were the right structure. and people say you can buy them at stations but ive checked 5 so far and no

[noble cobalt]

where do u see it

[cedar badger]

So much for no life in this universe.

[noble cobalt]

its not the point thing

[shell rivet]

All systems im seeing are either water or dissonant no uncharted

[noble cobalt]

its like super far away

[dry escarp]

2nd system without the robo fauna, im gonna have fun

[remote thunder]

oh i see what you mean now, sorry - what milestone are you tracking?

[steady idol]

Can't claim a reward, says inventory full

It's empty...

[remote thunder]

known issue; make do and mend milestone?

[steady idol]

Uh no, fixed it I guess

Multi tool upgrade but the tool was S. Had to switch to the original tool to claim it

[shell rivet]

I don't get it

[remote thunder]

are you close to rdv2? is it possible to teleport back there/did you visit its station?

[noble cobalt]

idk

[steady idol]

They really had to give you find 3 robo Fauna knowing planets only spawn 2... cruel, but I respect it

[remote thunder]

no uncharted

[noble cobalt]

yoo i can

thanks

[remote thunder]

goto a station, is the teleporter accessible? rdv2 is called Jiyose-Aishe XIV

[astral dome]

Stuck at ground wtf am I supposed to get deuterium

[remote thunder]

refine silicate powder+dihydro

[noble cobalt]

@remote thunder thank you man

[gloomy moss]

Is it true that space stations sell surge batteries

[quartz sorrel]

This expedition is Ace

[rich pilot]

I found myself a cute little companion
(well, not so little actually)

big ol yellow butterfly

[gloomy moss]

Is he 18 feet tall like mine

And can go up mountains really fast

[remote thunder]

can't confirm or deny sorry

[gloomy moss]

😔

[rich pilot]

well

[dry escarp]

3rd system, still no robo fauna

[glass stump]

Good day all. Just took a quick scan of the pins. Does anyone have a recommendation of things to transfer via the anomaly before starting the Adrift Expedition?

[shell rivet]

But like I still don't get that cause how do I know it is 😭

[azure orchid]

is the abandoned universe permanent?

[keen bloom]

you just go on every non dead planet in an uncharted system i guess

[remote thunder]

uncharted systems have no race icon on their info panel when you hover over them in the galaxy map

[loud timber]

I cant get out of the starting area

[keen bloom]

escape the worms

[shell rivet]

So no race= uncharted

[remote thunder]

refine silicate powder+dihydro=deuterium

[loud timber]

I cant craft a refinery

[keen bloom]

you have to do a different milestone for the refiner blueprint

[remote thunder]

complete phase 1 milestone 3, claim phase 1 mileston 2

[lusty stream]

also struggling with this idk how im meant to progress

[dry escarp]

im a dumbass, map literally shows you which system has robo fauna

[rich pilot]

oh ye that was a new thing, yeah?

[dry escarp]

me being a dumbass or map showing which system has robo fauna?

[rich pilot]

lmao, the map

[dry escarp]

idk man

im lost

[rich pilot]

but I'm sure you're not a dumbass

[dry escarp]

this expedition changes too much of mechanics im familiar too

[swift swan]

have you managed to find any? I've been trying to find robotic animals for the past like... 2 hours or so, both in blue and red stars, even on planets that are 'Mechanical Planets' the single fauna I find in them doesn't count as a robotic one

[dry escarp]

i did

if you have your it's alive quest focused, map should show you which system has the robo fauna

[rich pilot]

pf I haven't found robo animals even in my main save

[remote thunder]

i mean i asked earlier if galaxy map had a current mission destination

[lusty stream]

i wish more missions were more than just "go to place find thing" and then just jump from point to point and if the quest breaks you have no way of figuring it out

[dry escarp]

we are too stupid, idk how you put up with us

[remote thunder]

nah, don't say that

[rich pilot]

giggle

[remote thunder]

i get that it can be overwhelming

[glass stump]

Good day all. Just took a quick scan of the pins. Does anyone have a recommendation of things to transfer via the anomaly before starting the Adrift Expedition?

[remote thunder]

but if you remember your training from normal mode, it's just about being patient most of the times, and the game leads us to stuff

[lusty stream]

so should i just jump from system to system looking for the chance that there might be surge batteries or am i going on a wild goose chase here

[gloomy reef]

who tf is this 💀 💀

[remote thunder]

some have been recommending indium drive, solar mirror, the basics like o2, cmetal,

[swift swan]

I think I might have been ignoring that icon when warping... makes sense now that you mention it, I thought it was related to something else, I'll go check

[dry escarp]

bk201 you say to try one thing, we ignore it, and when we finally figure it out for outselfves we act like we're a fucking columbus and just discovered america

[remote thunder]

sorry, i don't have an answer for you atm

[gloomy moss]

Buggy expedition 😔

[glass stump]

Thanks once again. o savior of all.

[naive prism]

at this rate i'll have zoologist done before 3 mechaboiis

[remote thunder]

pause; select the right milestone, goto galaxy map, make sure "Current Mission" destination is selected at the top: do you see a green path line?

[gloomy reef]

arent you able to craft it?

[naive prism]

actually yes...

[dry escarp]

WE WIN THEEEESE

[cobalt gyro]

I can not enter the Anomaly

[remote thunder]

can you elaborate a bit more on that?

[naive prism]

it dives somewhere in the direction of the center, but i can't see where it ends, it goes in opposite direction from the expedition route

[craggy sun]

Any recommendations for items to take on the expedition?

[swift swan]

ok, managed to find these 2 robotic animals:

[unique hemlock]

Sorry if this is a silly question, is there a way to use the starship storage augmentations you get from the expedition rewards since every space station is abandoned?

[dry escarp]

indium drive, solar mirror, a lot of oxygen

[glass stump]

#nms-expedition message

[remote thunder]

can you return to the first system where you selected that milestone?

[lusty stream]

does anyone have just a teleport to a holo tower

[swift swan]

coordinates (planet is called Lonnonet Kadom and it's a 'calcified planet' type)

[balmy raptor]

Are suitable digsites for ancient bones random?

[naive prism]

i'll first complete some of the other milestones and see if that does anything

[balmy raptor]

The game is saying travel to another system but its not saying which and I've been to 4 already

[remote thunder]

i think they should auto apply when the milestone is claimed; did you by any chance back out of the add slot UI by accident perhaps?

[fringe agate]

Excuse me for a moment

[remote thunder]

the planet has to say ancient bones on the resource list basically

[rich pilot]

:o

[unique hemlock]

oh that might be it yeah, I just have the item for it in my inventory. 😅

[remote thunder]

yeah

[balmy raptor]

So I just travel to random systems until the quest changes from finding a suitable system to telling me to land?

[remote thunder]

either reload restore point and complete/claim that milestone again, or if you started this from existing save, bring them back to primary

[remote thunder]

multiplayer enabled? try toggling it off and on again

[dry escarp]

for me jsut summoning the anomaly again fixed it

[plush onyx]

i'm in the system with the 2nd rendevous point but there is no indication of said point anywhere on the radar, is it because I'm still not at that mission?

oh nvm i just had to mark the mission

btw, is there an issue with skipping a certain mission for now? i can't for the life of me find whispering eggs

[shell rivet]

Am I tweaking? I'm in an uncharted system but can't find any synthetic life

[cobalt gyro]

If I summon it it'll do the same thing

[remote thunder]

well, normally missions/quests never pick locations far away from the system they triggered in, and i wouldn't have expected it to do differently in expedition

[remote thunder]

it's not all uncharted systems that will have at least 1 planet with robo fauna

need to keep looking

[remote thunder]

there shouldn't be any issue unless the game forces you

[shell rivet]

[gloomy moss]

Can anyone confirm if you can find surge batteries in space stations

[dry escarp]

confirm

[gloomy moss]

[shell rivet]

Will the mechfauna be on their own planet or mixed

[dry escarp]

own planet

[plush onyx]

can you find whispering eggs on all rendevouz planets or just the first one?

[gloomy moss]

I think whispering eggs are on most planets

Also you don't have to find just the wild ones

[lyric roost]

Where to find robo fauna

[remote thunder]

if you can find abandoned buildings, then there will be multiple clusters

[shell rivet]

Same boat pal

[lyric roost]

Is it in the rdv 3 system?

[shell rivet]

Look for uncharted systems

[remote thunder]

have you checked the galaxy map/current mission destination, when that milestone is selected?

[plush onyx]

wdym?

[shell rivet]

The milestone for me just keeps going telling me to go to blue stellar shstems

[lyric roost]

I'll do it when I get to that

I'm just prepping for it

[gloomy moss]

They also spawn in some structures

[remote thunder]

but in the galaxy map, do you have a current mission destination selectable at the top, when that milestone is selected?

[gloomy moss]

Imma steal some whispering eggs

[shell rivet]

2/3 haha (I hate this)

[gloomy moss]

And set a save beacon because I might die

[shell rivet]

Absolute pain

[shell rivet]

Think so

[gloomy moss]

I usually don't like to engage in on foot combat

[shell rivet]

Yeah I do

[remote thunder]

well, if so, that's the game directing you to a suitable system for that milestone

[shell rivet]

But it keeps on going

[remote thunder]

are you playing solo?

[shell rivet]

It's fixed itself ;-;

This game is tryna make me look stupid

[gloomy reef]

tip for the bread quest- yeast is made via faecium in the nutrient processor

[karmic current]

Probably reaching here but

Anyone found a fix for the to dream of freedom bugged step from phase 4?

[swift swan]

finally found the last robotic animal:

completed now... damn that took a while x_x

[dry escarp]

i don't think that normally works like that

[remote thunder]

lol

shai hulud 🙇‍♂️

[gloomy moss]

Do abandoned buildings have icons

[lusty slate]

I can't play it yet (Switch), but honestly I like how the exped is switching things up.

[remote thunder]

i havent really started playing yet, but having memories from both exp4 and exp7, 2 of my fav ever expeditions, i'm already feeling it

[dry escarp]

isan al gaib?

[plush roost]

How does one complete “a small small… talk?” The one where you stare 60 seconds in the safe night sky?

[plush onyx]

can i find abandoned building with whispering eggs by just flying around?

[lusty slate]

Expeds kinda become... samey, if you've played a lot of them (looking at you. Voyagers). I'm looking forward to something a bit different.

[remote thunder]

should be able to yes

exocraft radar tech upgrades can scan for abandoned buildings

(radar amplifier, works on surface exos, not minotaur)

[plush onyx]

i just found out by flying, lucky find ig

[plush roost]

It doesn’t have to be a perfect planet right?

And night time outside the ship?

[dry escarp]

how do i do "Signs from nowhere"

[plush roost]

It’s just my last one and I’m done with the entire expedition

[remote thunder]

"a small small talk"? what phase, sorry?

[plush roost]

Phase 5

[low otter]

how long is the expedition around for?

[plush roost]

Second on the bottom row

[remote thunder]

interact with windmills

[gloomy reef]

i accidentally finished it all

[dry escarp]

im gonna walk for a while, YAY

[remote thunder]

p5m6: a still, small voice - be calm
reward: memory fragment x3
?

[plush roost]

Yup

[remote thunder]

don't know yet sorry, haven't reached this point

maybe someone else does

[gloomy reef]

yeah redwolf, you just look up at the sky for a bit

i was on a lush planet at night

[remote thunder]

ship flying low and slow, keep using quick scan; if you've got access to exocrafts, can use their radar (through quick menu) to directly mark buildings

[iron pine]

Two months

[plush roost]

Ah, that’s why I haven’t completed mine. Thanks

[silk jay]

how do i get the hyperdrive if the 2 starter planets have neither chromatic metal or the materials for microprocessors?

[remote thunder]

refine copper for chromatic metal

[silk jay]

oh right i can do that

havent played nms since omega

[rich pilot]

the weird mechanical howl the giant sandworms make is lowkey terrifying

[vast garnet]

I forgot how to play this game. I think I’ve effed myself for this new expedition.

[balmy raptor]

Is there a way to know from space if a planet has synthetic life?

[remote thunder]

please elaborate; what seems to be the issue?

[tired condor]

Jumping back in after a little while, if I have max frigates currently do I need to get rid of one before I do the expedition so I can get the reward one?

[remote thunder]

no, not if you don't have the freighter scanner room built on freighter base

[remote thunder]

can get rid of one just before you actually go to claim the frigate in your main save/other saves

[tired condor]

Ty

[vast garnet]

I’ve ran around my starting planet for over an hour and forgot how to craft and do things. I’m almost out of O2 and about to die. I just hope I can get off this planet before that.

Haha

[remote thunder]

quick pulse scan to try and locate o2 plant HUD markers, use visor to look for humming sac/subterranean relic icons which lead to caves and hazardous plants which often have o2; refine marrow bulb if you can, for sodium

[gloomy moss]

Do I have to do the larval core thing to complete the expedition

[humble bramble]

I gotta wait for a bugfix 😭

I got clancy to hold me over though

[vast garnet]

Which one?

[keen bloom]

one of the rocks has oxygen as a secondary material

[humble bramble]

Wdym which one

[remote thunder]

well, it's not an optional milestone, so yes, you would

[vast garnet]

Ghost recon, division?

[humble bramble]

Neither

[vast garnet]

I assumed you meant Tom Clancy.

[humble bramble]

Twenty one pilots album

[gloomy moss]

Aw man

[vast garnet]

Ty I’ll try farming those before I die.

It’s my lack of remembering that is my down fall.

Haha

[gloomy reef]

the start of the expeditions pretty challenging tbh, i also nearly ran out of oxygen

[remote thunder]

i had 2 life sup gel to begin with

hopefully i'll be able to stay focused

[gloomy reef]

oh same but i ate them 😋

[remote thunder]

milestone 3 from phase 1 rewards 3 lif sup gel, 1 aclass life sup module

might want to consider installing that a-class asap for a little bit more efficiency on life sup fuel

[vast garnet]

Just got it.

This will help hopefully.

[small acorn]

new worms soundFX is so nice

[crude sinew]

how are people liking the new expeidtion

[remote thunder]

loving it so far and i haven't even left the starter planet yet

[median sparrow]

I hate it.

[naive prism]

welp, got everything done except the 3 mechs...

i guess i'll do that tomorrow

[frosty pine]

New expedition

[crude sinew]

did they truly improve difficulty or not really

[hearty tundra]

When’s adrift gonna be on switch.

[covert kernel]

any horrific bugs? should i wait for the inevitable hotfix before starting?

[remote thunder]

need to remember that NMS is still a casual game

[remote thunder]

we don't know, sorry, we're just players

[remote thunder]

might want to wait for a few days yeah - naturally the more "critical" stuff is going to get fixed faster

[median sparrow]

Adjust the difficulty to your liking in the settings. 🙂

[hearty tundra]

Yeah I know. But someone’s bound to know something. There’s always someone lol

[steady idol]

Thr final drift kept saying to go to rendezvous 4 but it's the last thing I have so.. :/

Can't do that though because I've done the rendezvous already

[gloomy moss]

I wish I didn't have to get 16 larval cores

[remote thunder]

be sure to report this

[topaz brook]

abandoned buildings

[remote thunder]

looks to be a blocker

[gloomy moss]

I presume monstrosities will still attack you if you attack the whispering eggs that are in the open

[brazen violet]

This is my first expedition and really loving it so far

[nova flame]

hello . where can i get tritium to repair my ship ?

[rich pilot]

that's awesome <3

[topaz brook]

you mean deuterium?

[cedar badger]

The new paint option is basically just "this, but more texture detail."

[nova flame]

yes

[topaz brook]

dihydrogen + silicate powder in refiner 2

[nova flame]

awesome thanks

[remote thunder]

personal refiner mk2 unlocked by phase 1 milestone 2

[remote thunder]

yes

but they're really squishy

[steady idol]

That's really annoyed me now

[gloomy moss]

I'm gonna use the good old mine underground strategy

[brazen violet]

Can the paints be applied to any ship, or only custom ones you build from scratch?

[cedar badger]

You gotta build them from scratch.

[brazen violet]

Drat

[steady idol]

Can not believe the damn thing bugged and I can't finish this now
Livid

[topaz brook]

well, guess i shouldn't've scrapped that hypnotic eye

[vital aspen]

anyone else got a bugged phase 4 "fathoms below" objective? mine says my inventory is full

[remote thunder]

@topaz brook nautilon+high powered sonar, scan for sunken abandoned buildings - or just go swiming and find an abyssal horror

[remote thunder]

i've seen that reported here, but for another milestone

no fix/workaround found

[steady idol]

Change your multitool to the original one you started with

[vital aspen]

it is, this is a raw run

[steady idol]

Or is that one the ship? Either way it's because it boosts the rank but can't boost an S or A

[gloomy moss]

Ok I finished the whispering egg one

[woeful niche]

I fell off a mountain and died trying to get the 1,600m milestone. Fell trying to get to the grave marker so all my original exosuit inventory was lost (don't ask me what I think of only marking one grave, my blood pressure is finally down to where it should be...). I think almost everything can be replaced with time and effort except the Surge Battery for the signal booster. I think I am pretty well screwed without it, right?

[steady idol]

Could be worse, could be on the final task and it bugs out so you can't finish the expedition on the whole

[keen bloom]

do you have to find robotic animals in blue stars because im in a green undetected system mining emeril for the indium drive and it says theres "synthetic life on a world nearby"

[steady idol]

Oh I'm fuming, really am

[dry escarp]

another milestone that can't be redeemed despite very empty invenvotry

[woeful niche]

I guess the game did me a favor by getting me to give up now. LOL

[remote thunder]

not to my knowledge

the only req for robo fauna is uncharted system, not dead biome planet

[steady idol]

All I had left was drift in the void, that was it

Can't though because it doesn't realise I've done rendezvous 4...

I just can't..

[dusty viper]

same

[remote thunder]

put it aside for now

[gloomy moss]

By the time I get to a station with surge batteries I will be at the 3rd rendezvous point

[dusty viper]

phase 5 mission 7 doesnt let you complete it for some reason

just tells you to do R4 even though you already did

[remote thunder]

[unkempt kraken]

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

[steady idol]

Gives me some hope that they'll address that soon then

[karmic current]

Lowkey thinking about starting a new save just to do this today

[keen bloom]

not in a blue system and it still counted them

looks like you dont need to find specifically blue uncharted systems for finding robot animals

[karmic current]

I'm waiting for hg to get back to me about the bug but also I don't wanna wait

[steady idol]

Uncharted red systems I found to be better

[remote thunder]

we never did

game hints are known for sometimes not being clear or even slightly misleading

submit a suggestion for them to rewrite the hint

[turbid moon]

if i do the new update will it let me jump into a new game with that character like the other expansions?

[remote thunder]

it's not "with that character"

it's "it lets you bring stuff into the expedition save from your main save"

[turbid moon]

in most expeditions you make a new character

[remote thunder]

but you still start the expedition as everyone else

[remote thunder]

starting exp from existing save still drops you into a new char

[turbid moon]

i know

im saying when i finish can i use that character in the main game

[remote thunder]

nope

you finish, it ends it, and returns to your primary save, the one you started it on; back in your main aka primary save, it will let you retrieve stuff you brought back from expedition, if any; and clone ship and MT

[gloomy moss]

It seems to be surge batteries aren't in space stations

[static brook]

Are your journey going well?

[remote thunder]

there's been some bugs being reported

[static brook]

I think I should escape titan worm starting planet quickly

Its killing my mental health

[remote thunder]

anything you're having difficulty with?

[gloomy moss]

Like surge batteries only being obtainable from the milestone and being able to be lost

[static brook]

Not much

Except I truly hate titan worms

[gloomy moss]

Whic is making it so I can't complete the expedition

[remote thunder]

just drop it for now, play something else, there's still plenty of time left for the devs to fix whatever blockers there are, and players affected being able to resume/complete

best for your mental health if you just move on to other thoughts

[undone lily]

To anyone that completed the current expedition, is it me or the iron vulture's wings are currently bugged?

[undone lily]

No no no, you can craft them.
