why does it say that my inventory is full for claiming a reward but it isnt?
so they got the atmosphere right
do you have several slots in the exosuit?
sometimes rewards give you several items
So what do you guys think of my emotional support cosmic monstrosity, just graduated from training and is ready to serve as a support insect(or whatever it is). Totally safe around children, go ahead and pet it, it won't bite:
just a little guy
Any idea how to farm carbon to repair the hyperdrive? There are only those small pebbles with 2 or 3 carbon wich is teadious if you need 250 in total
you have a ship right? go to another planet
Scan with your multitool and look for condensed carbon...there will be clusters of condensed carbon crystals around.
Can I make normal carbon with the fabricator from this? @heady pilot
Does the expedition turn our current galaxy into something abandoned or do we get a new galaxy?
And can I keep a place without anyone out there please? 😄
he reminds me of cacodemon
yup
Yes you can refine condensed carbon back into normal carbon. 1 condensed = 2 carbon and vice versa.
Thx!
is there unique tech in new ship
No.
Only the ship parts which you can harvest for ship crafting but nothing like the Photonix Core if that's what you mean, @balmy bloom.
If I scan a planet in my starship itll say if theres corrupted sentinels or not ye?
take starborn runner and take it with me in end
I think so. I don't imagine it's been patched.
It would see disssenace or whatever detacted
Holy the surface like he a purple hue
time to go purple hunting
is that what comes from the spawning egg sac?
Yeah, the new expedition reward pet. Unfortunately the size, form, and color cannot be gene modded. Only the temperament can so I made it fun lol.
any interesting modules in it?
nah, just the usual stuff
it has weird stock arnament but nothing that you can't install
stock armament?
unmodified, basic, beginner, starter
ye, it has phase beam and pistron ejector when you collect it from the quicksilver broker
meanwhile, i'm still searching for mechs....
how are yous earching for them?
Has anyone else noticed you get nutrient processor plans twice?
check if it gives you inventory sllots
does you mutlitopol has s class?
switch to another mutlitool\
based on bk201's suggestion, first find an uncharted system, then red/blue systems, land on every planet to see if it only has 2 life forms (so far none found), move to the next
bk201 also told me that and i found them using this, but i only searched in blue systems
so you are unlocky ig
rng hates me lol
i'm now just going shortest-neighbour
also, zoologist is a piece of cake now i keep finding anomalous planets all the time 😆
ow something changed
when i warped into other blue systems it kept telling me about the galaxy map [x]
in this system, it just tells me to find 3 mechs
which means you do not necessarily need to visit each planet if it doesn't show that
making sshots for comparison, bbl
autophage or harmonic camps ?
you don't need to
if you are talking about "it's alive" milestone you need to follow this: first find an uncharted system, then blue systems, land on every planet to see if it only has 2 life forms , move to the next
wont let me collect
switch to another starship
ty
The reward is trying to upgrade the class of your ship or multitool but because you imported S class from main save, it can't. Switch back to the trash shuttle or MT you started the expedition with and then you can claim the reward.
harmonic
i want to access the void motes thing
nah its not that dw
im just trying to get my autophage customization back
Thanks Ajan!
ok i may have found a pattern on the "it's alive" milestone
You won't be getting any customizations back during this expeditions because no NPCs anywhere...even the quicksilver bot is missing. So you can't claim anything that isn't from the expedition terminal. Just finish the expedition and return to main save.
my brotha
u dont need npc to interact with the terminal
i saw my friend do it rn on stream thats why im asking how to find the harmonic camps
Yeah but because the autophage don't spawn, neither do their hidden camps.
The one I went to didn't allow redemption of anything...the ability to redeem stuff only unlocks after you do the autophage quest and you can't on this expedition.
.
im not speculating broski
i just would like to know how to find the harmonic camps thats all
Your friend might have used a save editor. The harmoic camp only allowed unlocking the MT and marking a crashed interceptor.
Just have a harmonic scanner and go to places that have a house symbol
Though I don't know if you can get harmonic camps
echo locator?
@ebon meteor this link gives quick rundown
#nms-questions message
Even if you have one you would still need to be able to make them appear with the scanner upgrade
Echo locators spawn but I don't think it will do you any good.
ok i may have an algorithmic approach for the 3 mechs
(tagging @remote thunder for knowledge and @neat latch as on-duty mod): #nms-expedition message
Without the ability for NPCs to spawn, ie, due to being abandoned systems, im not sure youll be able to access any of the void mote shops
ty brotha
Pretty sure the autophage hidden camps aren't present because no autophage.
my friend interacted with it and was able to get the stuff he already had
So the autophage were walking around?
interesting. maybe oversight
generally you see dust clouds where there are hidden camps...they are quite obvious. But didn't see any of those during this expedition.
ah yes. so using the scan locator to reveal autophage unlocked the terminal options
sounds like oversight, but good to know its working
i didnt see him use a scan
Finding 3 mechs:
- select from the galaxy map an uncharted, blue system
- lifeform filter: white
- no filter: blue
- Enter the system, if it says "Use the galaxy map", there is NO mechanical life in the system (sshot 1)
- Warp to another uncharted blue. If it says "Discover synthetic creatures", at least one planet has the mechs (sshot 2)
- Land on each planet and check if it has 2 lifeforms, that's your planet
i just asked him
it's repeatable
yup. they probably didn't remove that part. or its just intended to work then 🤷♂️
probably intended to work, i dont see why not
So you would need to find 2 planets with mechanical?
Mechs
So you don't know what your friend did...you're only going off of what you saw? He probably used a save editor or mod if I had to guess. Pretty sure I haven't seen any hidden camps present and the harmonic camps didn't offer redemption of cosmetics.
ill do it rn and let u know lol
yes, correct-- i'm now trying (intentionally not scanning the 3rd) to see if this algorithm holds up
Oki
little detail: so far all of my lucky choices were in dissonant systems, that might be something special for this expedition
I need help, to make solar mirror i need to complete 'make do and mend', i have but it keeps saying inventory full. Without claiming it i cant progress (my inventory is empty btw)
Does lapezuk starter planet have any of these: Cadmium, Emeril or Indium to make Chromatic Metal?
It has copper...that makes chromatic metal.
any of the stellar metals can make chromatic metal, even copper
You can use copper
Can I just use copper in my refiner? Don't I need one of the others type metals?
Yes. Refine it.
No just put copper and you get Chromatic metal
so the scanner upgrade is obv on the multitool, so when u claim ur multitool at the anomaly you can go and find the damaged machinery of the camps and use the scanner, it will spawn an abandoned autophage camp that has a void mote terminal and u can redeem everything u already have there
Can someone help me with an issue in DMs
I've not used a refiner before; put the copper in both slots then I'm guessing?
Two slots are for combining materials. You can’t combine a material with itself
The autophage camps aren't there. When they are the dust clouds are very obvious but they're not there.
where do i find wiring looms during the expedition
I'm in space busting up asteroids and jellyfish are all around me bumping my ship. Are they damanging it? What are these jellyfish for?
What do you need them for? I don't recall needing a single wiring loom this whole expedition. Did you break some tech? I'm not sure if abandoned station shop sells them, worth a look I guess. But otherwise you may only be able to get it by scrapping other modules.
i just want to build an indium drive
Abandoned shops do sell them
Ah ok, that explains it. I just imported a ship from main save that had the indium drive in it.
Starting fresh is the best challenge for me. It’s like playing on survival, at least getting off the first planet with little survival materials was
yay, this is repeatable-- note that it could be any planet in the system
bro
so anyone else isnt misled
autophage camps do work
and if you had stuff that you bought with motes on your main save you can claim them
you can't find autophage camps until you completed 2 quests, which don't trigger until you complete an expedition
o.o
it works for everyone
if u started from ur main save
if u created a new save just for expedition u cant
just make sure ur main save's multitool has the scanner upgrade
cuz then u carry it over and scan the camp so the void motes thing appears
Yes the reason autophage camps don't usually show is simply needing the scanner, which can only be obtained at the end of the game.
But since you're bringing an old tool, i guess we can bypass it
yea
thats what i did
my staff is my best mt anyway
first thing i did after phase 1 was farm nanites
and got the ship and mt back
to do this
lol
Waiting for a bug fix 😭
i dont think its a bug
I'm basically done otherwise
Is it just me, or is the current expedition pretty underwhelming?
i like it
Seems there's no payoff.
I’m enjoying it for what it is. But then I used to play permadeath and restrict myself further with self made challenges
I'm waiting for the update at all
Nada stays an empty shell. The anomaly stays void of people. The universe stays empty.
Like permadeath, but can only use shuttles and can’t spend nanites until Artemis path is over.
Never got far with that one 😂
Ah
There's no revelations. No resolution.
this^
i loved the expedition
It feels left unfinished.
because it's something else
When you finish the expansion, would be nice for an atlas station to have a big “boot up life” button
but, in all honesty, it indeed feels like expeditions need a big finish, like a last milestone that brings back polo/nada/rest
Right?
because now my last milestone was the 3 mechs, and that felt underwelming 😆
Atlas ||is saving processing power by not running intelligentlife.exe||
Or at least provide a way to bring Nada back online and have him give a lore dump and one final mission that ties everything together.
Is there a place on lapezuk planet to avoid the Sentinels? They keep shooting at me.
buildings or caves
farm them for multitool/exosuit upgrades
Thanks, been playing creative mode, this is all new lol.. What am I farming? Sentinels or going thru bldgs for upgrades and such.
have they fixed phase 5 mission 7 yet?
Assuming there wasn't any patch since the expedition dropped - no
Isn't iron vulture supposed to have a blue glow in the wings? Cause mine doesn't
on the starter planet there is really REALLY massive mountains
i was just about to ask, do i need to fall for 1,600u for it to count? i'm for sure on a high enough mountain
but it isn't counting
No
is there a way to check how high i am rn?? i'm rlly high up, the ground below isn't even visible anymore
salvaged glass can be broken down in upgrades
It should just be from selecting the milestone
select the "scale a mountain" milestone, that shows you your current height
jeez and i thought this was high, at 1,200... thanks guys🌷
i am in a 1.100 high mountain and i can see the planet curvature
and its the highest mountain around
what the
||just use the terrain manipulator||
where the heck do i get tritium btw
Asteroids
yeah but i cant get to asteroids without tritium
Silicate Powder + Di-Hydrogen + Refiner = Deuterium, which can be made into tritium iirc
doesent work
it just doesent go higher
You should be on a low grav planet
If so, just jetpack
I must be doing something wrong, I've hit 2 different waypoints and neither have counted for Phase 4?
@shy dagger try a diff planet - for example, this one, i couldn't get it after two attempts, i let it go and continued/moved on to try on some other planet
this windmill object is a waypoint. those aren't counting? have you tried to save+reload?
Yeah, hit 2 of 'em...didn't count. I'll try 1 more and if it doesn't count, I'll reboot.
For anyone starting the expedition:
|| Bring radiant shards. Lots of em for nanites ||
is it possible to go back to my "normal save" ? and resume the expedition later ?
it is, although i wouldn't recommend it
Resets expedition progress
no, it doesn't
I wouldn't do that
ohh... dang okay
or at the very least, it wasn't ever intended to reset exp progress
if that's happening right now with exp13, then submit a bug report
it's ok, i won't try x)
I could be totally wrong though. Don't count on it.
Also phase 3 is quite a.. challenge
the biggest issue that probably stemmed from returning to primary and back again (often multiple times) was that discoveries in main save got wiped
now, that issue may not even exist anymore
as in, it's definitely not intended, as discoveries from exp run and primary/main are supposed to merge in the end
It's okay I just wanted to see what my excavator mech looked in game, i guess it will wait
just try with a diff save i'd say
Also can I just say this? The expedition went live.. yesterday? Saw 2 people that already have the new ship. I mean.. HOW?! Speedrunning the expidition? Jeez
Save editor maybe
some of us have been running expeditions for quite a while, not to mention the game itself; it's not difficult to pull it off in a few hours
3h, sub 3h is almost common to hear about
I completed the last one within a day so.. perhaps?
there's been expeditions that could be completed in an hour, 2h, it varies
it's the first expedition I play, quite exciting so far
I am also 100% convinced the new ship is based on the Razor Crest
aha yeah, it's a good inspiration tho
does it have special features that are exclusive to it ? or it's just a hauler skin?
It has a unique hull and hover rotors
Fans
yeah but internally, in term of gameplay?
Doubt it
i see
still nice for a free update
it's great they didn't go into the"season pass" trend lol
When I finished Omega, even after the patches, all my Wonders except glitches and treasures were wiped.
Don't know why those first 2 didn't count, but the rest are counting now lol. All I did was change planets? Ehn...
Yeah every update they ever did was free. The game basically blew up with every update. Sean has cooked well
Is the issue known yet about the dreams of freedom milestone, where you cannot progress if you have already completed the 3rd rendezvous milestone?
yes
!hg

Also, @remote thunder, I noticed this in the patch notes. My collected stories/knowledge is at 547 right now. I'll see if the number changes after the update drops on Switch:
There's also something about fixing various text issues. So I'm also going to test if that fixes the Collosal Archive lore bugs I ran into (as they weren't triggering due to text box issues).
(The only thing lore wise I haven't gotten around to is derelict freighter logs. Everything else I have missing is bugs)
Anyway, what exactly are the iron panels customization reward. And how are they used?
is there anything that would be good to have when starting the new expediton?
New save and a sense of adventure
yes but with the thing in the anomaly should i put anything in it before starting the expedition?
also if i use the anomaly thing will i get the stuff back at the end of the expedition?
I dunno I do new saves for expeditions
where do you find the robot creatures
oh ok normally i do aswell but this new thing from the last expedition made me want to try it out
Wait... anyone tried sending the Withering Manuscript you get from a milestone back to main? Will it let you?
How long do we reckon it'll be before they patch the dream tasks from being softlocked
Anyone got a good spot for synthectic creatures?
Yes. If you want to carry items over, you put them in those slots before you start the expedition. Also, switch any ship or multitool you might want to use to your currently active one. When you get to the Anomaly in the expedition, you can retrieve your items and copy the ship/MT selected on your main save over with nanites.
At the end of the expedition, you can send items back to your main by dropping them into the terminal before you end the exped.
Game tells you where to find them in the Galactic map. Though you may need to craft all the hyperdrives for it
Just the indium drive installed will get to access to all system types.
The game will also tell you if you're in a solar system that has em
And how will you get the indium drive without any Emeril
Send it over? That's what I'm going to do.
Cheater!!! /s
It ain't cheating if it's an ingame ability. 😛
oh thanks
Hey any tips for the 1.6k mountain milestone
the 2nd expo planet has loads of tall mountains
Mk I'll have a look at them now
Yes, that. Best to go with a world you know has them rather than searching worlds that may not
Done thank you
this is the main reason i've got my arse up and played it, my favourite show ever
Can’t cheat a single player game 😁
Caves have several toxic flora that reward decent amounts
when i'm looking for activated copper, will the planetary scan specify "activated copper", or will it just say copper
Also, aggressive flora on the surface also drop oxygen.
is there a way to do a bug report for the game
because the glow on the rotors for iron falcon isnt there
!hg
You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
thx
yes it will say activated copper, as well as on the discoveries page
okay thx, maybe i'm just unlucky rn, the map said it was on this system but I don't actually see an extreme planet🧍♀️ (edit, nvm i found it lol. im just blind)
also, storm crystals are a dead giveaway
Just completed expedition, GG
r u able to co op it with someone?
congrats btw
So! New expedition 😄 looking forward (Starting now) actually hyping about the vibe of it
Though is it true that the new ship is only available at the end...?
I know it's usually like this... but I felt like the trailer and the article contradiction each other in that regard ^.^
yeah, only if both of you are in expedition
so do we both have to start it at the same time?
gg
7h22min, single only, no use of bases from other people
searching everything by myself
damn
how would you be able to use other peoples bases
but, i also have an a-class multitool and ship
arent u alone?
anomaly
i have s class both :D
the teleporter still works
lmao thats kinda op
ow, disregard, S-class multitool :)
👍
lmao fr
Dam it took me so much time to find 3 creatures ... (yesterday) ... I opened the game now , just to see there's a destination marker on the galaxy map ... so much time wasted 😄
it could probably be done faster, i just actually went to have fun 😆
bro ive been grinding this game so much i got like 55 hours on it during my exam week lmao
nice bro
sounds good
see also my earlier comment for algorithmic search :)
it took me less than 5 minutes today
time doesn't exist when u open no mans sky
real
i spend a lot of time grinding for an S class dreadnought
found one
thought it doesnt transfer inventory
learnt that it does later
sadge
inventory or base?
and then got an S class sentinel freighter
base
f
i had everything in a storage container
not in cargo
storage containers transfer but cargo doesnt
rip
i was about to say, you only need 1 time to learn that :)
das right
im tryna get the other type of freighter and a dreadnought simoultneously lmao
cuz i found a system with a large freighter (the one that looks like a star destroyer) in a dreadnought battle
so just going back and forth till one is S class
i got so bored of it that i ended up completing the entire artemis storyline, filling my inventory with ships, and building farms
les go boiis finally
how do I get deuterium to repair my ship ?
pretty sure that you refine di hydrogen and tritium
silicate powder and di hydrogen
you can use silicate powder too
but how do I refine I can't craft the refiner
how far in the game r u
personal refinery. unlock it
cuz u need blueprint
I just started the expedition
do quests until you get the bp
im currently doing the "stirring the nest" milestone in the expedition where i need to collect larva cores from whispering eggs but its just not counting the larva cores i collect from the eggs
There’s a milestone that gives the blueprint for a personal refiner mk II
oh ok thank you
getting shit like quantum computers in the expedition gotta be a pain in the ass
btw, is it a worthwhile nanite farm to change atlantium into pugneum into nanites?
idk how much that gives you
i just went to player bases and mined curious deposits
and then refined the runaway mould
or you can dupe salvaged data
pretty sure that gives a good amount
im still tryna find a curious deposit to setup a base there
you could try looking for other players bases
Internal branch update? Maybe expedition fix?
so aside from the basic metal compliment for base building, anything that's a really annoying timewaster in the expedition that I should also send in?
Anyone else having a problem with the "to dream of freedom" milestone? It tells me to click the milestone for rendezvous 3 but I can't since it's already done and claimed.
change your starship to one that has unlockable slots
It still says the same thing even after
have you found a way to finish the thing?
I'm stuck too, i did rendezvous 5 before "to dream of sleep" and to finish "to dream of sleep" it tells me to select rendezvous 4
I haven't yet no, bad feeling we gotta wait for a patch
You reported it to HG?
Are we able to get two of the Ironclad like we were with the starborn runner?
I completely missed that thank you!!!
otherwise, get some "tech" packets from the trade station, unpack them into upgrades and place them in your ship, then destroy them which breaks them apart into materials including looms
i cannot find any normal space stations :c is there a reason for this what am i missing
One last question just to make sure I've got this right. You can copy the ironclad as many times as you want?
the context is that you're all alone, together with the Ghost frigate
i cant even remember why I wanted a normal space station anymore, brain gone
ohh, i found some augmentations and idk where to go to use them. Should I keep until i finish the ex
because NPCs that sell stuff, which is explicitly disabled for this expedition
or until the next time you can expand your inventory (one of the milestones) and then it lets you use up all of them
i had the same issue but it auto-fixes
i cant believe i just completely forgot i was in an expedition where the context is that i'm all alone, lmfao thx
will that work with the starborn runner too?
I mean the scrapping to get the special parts thing
oh I didnt know it was exotic
my game is stuck on the galaxy map, not frozen, just stuck...
i can see the planets still moving around rip
How do I find synthetic creatures? What do they look like?
something like that
That quest is the dirtiest for making us get indium drives and find two different systems for it
I haven't found one and it says it's found on "empty" planet. Do I have to find a planet that is literally labeled as empty?
It’s Blue systems and some blue systems don’t have em
Yeah I'm on a blue system
I found it on a three resource planet
the exotic one
Yes I'm in a three resource planet where the atmosphere turned black and white
just land and look into discoveries and how many creatures does tho planet have
if it has 2 land animals it ll probably be the one
Oh I see and they are labeled as rare, common. Are some of them labeled as synthetic?
I dont think so
When you highlight quest, and jump into a system, it will tell you in hints that robot in system
then you just have to find planet in system they are on
yes it will write that there are syntetic lifeforms in system
Ah I just have to keep warping then because I'm on a blue system and it's telling me to go to one
im confused on what to do here, this is my last mission until i am done so i dont know how to "select" said milestone
its a bug
I have it too
did you fix it somehow?
just have to wait for a fix
nope
damn
was really hoping i was finished with it today, when do they usaly realse patches after an update?
@sudden reef if you pin that mission in the logs , it should have a marker on galaxy map ... and you will not need to search multiple systems .... Only the planets inside a system if you are in a correct system
Quick way to find a hypnotic eye? - caveats: No exocraft scanner available for sub, no blueprints or people available in galaxy.
needed for phase 2: Amidst The Stars
Ohh of course I'm so stupid. I see it now thanks
it can drop in derelicked or I think u can buy it from the trade terminal
Anytime ^^
Boardable derelict has them, but nowhere to get emergency beacons rn.
I've checked 12 trade terminals so far... guess I'll keep trying that
u can get them from oceans but it would be difficult without the sub scanner
Yeah, ik. Spent a few hours trying without
You shouldn't have to because you start the expedition with one in your starting shuttle. Generally speaking not wise to get rid of stuff the expedition starts you with as it probably has a use even if you don't know what it is for a while.
This isn't helpful.
Actually it is. Maybe not right now but should be helpful in the future when you think about getting rid of stuff an expedition starts you with.
Thanks for the ideas 😄
np
Thank you Mr hindsight
Let today's hindsight turn into tomorrow's foresight.
are any of the exocraft really useful for this expedition?
nautilon
Not without the scanners- but they can be better than walking
Where can i find mechafauna, in the Expedition?
You can't unlock anything for it... super mid without
the scanners get unlocked as one of the milestones, so you can search for freighter wrecks
I'll check the further phases, thanks
Phase 4!
Thank yooouuuu
Weird to put it that far but coool
Thank you.
Just chart every dang way point 👉 👈
12 way points unlocks the nautilon advanced stuff
it pretty much happens along the way
i didn't need to farm it, i found all by the time i needed it
im having trouble finding a high enough summit for the survey mission
some of the rendezvous planets have it
that checks out
and otherwise, terrain manipulator to just make your own column
starter planet with low gravity even lets you just jump/spam all the way to 1600u
does anyone know if the first system u start this exp in has a dissonant planet
WAIT WHAT. when did the expedition start?
Yesterday
uhh couple days ago i think
second or third system on your way to randevous 1 has one
Wow, i thought that the announcement was like a trailer, hello games works fast
🤞thx
yeah usually when they release a trailer it means that theyve released it already
Thanks, ill keep that in mind
hi, does anyone has a tip to find a lost traveler? signal booster just dont find anything
So do i start this expedition like normal then?
Where can one find a synthetic creature
Is there a system with one near any of the rendezvous?
How can i get alot of oxygen?
If you pin the mission in the logs
Then select current mission, you should see a marker on your galaxy map where to go
Hazardous plants work for me when on expedition
or does anyone know of a planet that has a lost traveler on?
thx so much i found it!
Look at the rocks on the starting planet, otherwise usual things apply with scanning.
yeah problem is i need to also refill the mining beam and life support. I dont gain any oxygen this way.
All the oxygen i used gets used for power
btw whats 'stealth paint'?
also i cant leave the planet because i dont have a refiner
I cant progress without a better way to get oxygen
yeah well protip dont use oxygen for either mining or life support
and yeah at the start those are mostly your only sources
im half way done with the expedition and i still rely on plants for oxy
I dont see any way to get carbon
where can I find shock chargers for the signal booster?
yeah problem is i have no refiner
So i cant make deuterium to leave the planet
Nvm
you can mine it
just realised the game gave me the portable one
Hey wait, has the expedition started on the switch yet?
yeah i literally cant get any oxygen nor carbon
Rocks have carbon, o2, and h2 a long with o2 plants. you need to scan everything
hey, is anyone else encountering issues with the "To Dream of Sleep" milestone in phase 5?
that the only mission that i need to complete..
Anyone who had done previous expedition before? This is my first expedition of NMS and damn, it's boring as heck. I've heard so much about the previous expedition and how much fun it was so I was really excited about it, only to be disappointed. Can any veteran comment on this expedition?
its @ashen shore its for phase 5
yeah by the looks of it tbis expedition is just the replaying the start of the game but worse
@ashen shore ghost in the machine
Yes this, it felt like I was playing the main story all over again, even worst, there are no NPC at all. It's like it's made with no effort.
Expeditions always try to be unique and do something different. This one is going to its roots. Sure it might seem boring, but its all about a challenge. Plus, free starship.
Well, either way, I'm happy for any update at all so it's just a rant rather than a complain.
yea i honestly agree, I've done lots of other expeditions, all in fact, and this one is one of the most boring ones, like the start of the game just.. worse
yeah found some but still a pain
Took a break from milestones and did a freighter. I was NOT ready
Best part is unlocking paints and ship that you can use in a regular save. But yeah this is a harsh expedition for a new player
No worries! Last expedition reward was a sick staff, so it can seem overwhelming. But the devs always have new ideas in mind, so it can be a hit or miss
👍
bruh how do I get deuterium? I cant find any cave rocks with it
Is there any place to sell stuff you have picked up ( like fossils ) in the new expedition ( can't seem to sell them at the tradehub in the abandoned stations
You get the reward from the expedition, then you will be able to craft a refiner on your exosuit.
Refine di-hydrogen and silicate powder for tritium
alright
Yeah this expedition is ass
Then you do this.
I was also tryna figure out how the hell to get tritium with a broken ship lmao
Yeah, I was stucked for awhile previously on this. Which is why I was able to rmb the exact step
I gave up and asked BK. He told me. I was gobsmacked because I know so many refiner recipes and wasn’t ready for a new one lol
Thematically this was my favorite expedition
Was checking old notes and everything
I like it, but then I like survival and permadeath
2 out of barely any recipes I know is turning rusted metal into ferrite dust and slime/mold into nanites
besides basic stuff like chromatic metal and pure/magnetised ferrite
You can make almost everything from a handful of base materials
2 parafinium and 1 ferrite makes ammonia for example
How the hell do i progress? There is no way for me to get oxygen or carbon fast enough to be able to craft. All the carbon i get is used to power the mining beam and all the oxygen i get is used for life support
You're alone, you spend 90% of the expedition searching for people, you find signs of life but those are ancient and archaic structures. You search structures, stations, and find only animal life. You search from the tallest mountain to the oceans depths. You search even the dangerous blue star systems to find only synthetic life. Haunted by the ghost of the past you look to the skies, cook yourself a meal and dream about the stars
Make life support gel and only use it when support gets low
It's a very nice expedition
theres oxygen plants and carbon crystals, only use life support gel
My planet doesnt have plants nor carbon crystals. Ive gone for over 1000us and havent found either
did you scan?
It's more of an unspoken story than previous expeditions, but this adds to it
Oxygen plants and carbon crystals show up on a scan
The silence is deafening, after all
Not visor search, the scan pulse
Maybe because they are making a new game which is why they didn't spend a lot of time on this? 😂
scan rocks for carbon and oxygen ig
Anyways yeah I found out you were supposed to mix silicate with di-hydrogen by looking at the milestone guidance that I pinned
then just use life support gel
yeah still isnt enough
By the time i get to the plant i need to refill life support
Stop running and using jetpack, that eats up your support
Dont think it makes a difference as i still see the bar going down quite fast
Where are you? Add me, I'll give you a lot, I knew I needed them so I stocked a lot in my anomaly. I was lucky to find a cluster of them on my starting planet before I reach the anomaly.
I know it's cheating but I had to resort to refiner duplication of oxygen and carbon
yeah am trying to do it legitimately and without help lol
would be nice if they could hotfix phase 5 mission 7; if you complete rendevous 5 before doing mission 7 then it wont complete
It’s only cheating if you feel like you cheated. It’s your game, your sandbox 🙂
Why suffer when it's all based on luck? Lol, like I was lucky to find like 10 oxygen all clustered together.
I just used my supercharge slots and walked around picking plants
Yes move your life support to a supercharged slot
I even had time to gather 16 whispering eggs
And kill 8 worms
I dunno how you guys ran out of oxygen
Lol, I was an idiot, when I found an abandoned building, I collected 15 and felt so frustrated, I didn't know you could reload to respawn the eggs.
Any tips for the 'It's alive' badge?
Or
Or
Hear me out
Yes
You could walk 5 feet and shoot one of those randomly spawning eggs that spawn on desolate planets
if you go in the galaxy map and select "mission path" it shows you in which system to go
Try this method and see if ti's works for you too...
Pin the mission in logs..
Then go to galaxy map and check if you see any marker
this 3rd phase is rlly just eugh, can anyone tell me if they know if any of the rendezvous systems have natural burial site planets in them
Honestly the only milestone that gave me any trouble was the 1600u mountain
I did it on the rend 1
For eggs, dig a pit below them, get in pit, shoot and harvest as it drops by you, wait for swarm to calm down
Was way to easy
The highest I got naturally was 1500u
So I built a stairway at the 2nd rendezvous planet
And made the base public
not that I remember, no. but if you pin the quest and select "mission path" in the galaxy map it should show you in which system to go
I got the fossils by looking at the planets on my way to the rendezvous
Dude you can get like 3 milestones on the starting planet
Collect the eggs, collect the worm drops
From collecting 16 eggs and killing 8 worms
Shove them in a refiner
Yeah take you time and check out systems as you go. I’m currently two systems from start and on a paradise planet with mountains, so harvesting mats and climbing
it doesn't even let me select current mission, i'll have to travel back to rend 1 lol and go from there
That's easily atleast close to 1600 nanites
Or however many is needed
I think I doubled it
are the expedition exclusive refiner recipes pinned yet?
So I saw the hauler(?) you get for the expedition
It looks really cool
Question, is the Unknown Identity Nada?
New save time 😂
More like it will sit in unclaimed rewards
I'd say just "sell" one but like
It's so hard to choose what to sell, and sometimes you don't want to
Fair
I have multiple cool Sentinel ships
I dont want to sell anything atm. I have 1 free slots for buying and dismantling ships for parts.
HG gib 32 ship slots
Minimum
I could do exp on main save and claim it from exp terminal to cut it for parts.
My surviving save has some nice ships and bases, but I’ll probably start brand new again after expedition. I enjoy it
But last time when i did exp on main save my wonder records got viped.
800+ hours and biggest save is just over 200 of them 😂
How the frick am I supposed to find ancient ruins?
Hey umm my frigate of the damned isn't appearing on my main save idk if I should say it here or in normal chat but any ideas how to fix it
With the signal booster
Any alien building will work i think.
phase 5 ghost in the machine seems bugged, no planet has a lost traveler/reality breach
I just did it and worked for me
@rose veldt where did you found one???
In one of the systems near rend 4
Mark it in catalouge. It should mark act copper system in galaxy map
@rose veldt do you know which system or planet by chance? searching for an hour now
@lunar totem try to search with a signal booster with it in pinned quests, on a planet which is not uncharted
tryid different systems and planets
To be exact look for a system where a race and economy appear,
I'm not 100% if this is important but give it a try
Maybe I'm missing something - this expedition was supposed to center around the theme that you're alone and there's nothing out there but sand worms and fiends. When I start the mission, there are 3 other players with their ships right next to me, walking around and shooting biological horrors. I get to the first waypoint and it's flooded with message modules, and there are other normal planetary creatures roaming about. I'm not feeling very alone...
when does the expedition end?
In like.. Two months? 😅

@rose veldt thx, ill try
They never said no players or multiplayer, they specifically said no NPC or working space stations. So, disable multiplayer if you want to experience this expedition alone, and disable internet altogether if you want to truly immerse yourself in loneliness and depression.
anyone found the 1600u tall mountain yet?
Yes
whermst
Well a lot of places but one was in rend 1
Made a base, dunno if it's visible for others
ah. So they are common. Aight thanks
It is an excellent habit to have to turn off multiplayer as soon as you load into a new save. Even before adjusting the difficulty to what you prefer. It will ensure you are never bothered by anyone and you can play in peace.
Anndd done 😄
was a nice one 😄 ^^
How am I ment to get tritium to fix my launch thruster with out going into space to blast asteroids I'm so confused
you dont have to use tritium
Refine silicate powder and di-hydrogen in a refiner
Thank you so much I had no idea
"Yet somehow still alone" - I just don't get that when I'm watching people fighting stuff and getting spammed with communication modules. But it's alright - you've proven your point thoroughly and I was wrong to question.
Not surprised, expedition exclusive recipe
You focused on the wrong part 😦
“Where you will find yourself surrounded by other travellers”
Ooooh then you truly are a star thank you
someone in an explorer tried to kill me with infras
So... another player attacked me 😮
And yet they say "in this expedition you will be all alone"
You're focusing on the wrong part!
Any tips when doing the abandoned freighter raid in phase 4? I kept dying to those little robots
run
Just turn off multiplayer. It's always good to turn it off regardless.
get in and get out of the derilect as fast as you can
the robots didnt even attack me
also personal forcefield
Or invis
it would be nice if comm balls weren't allowed
I love the multiplayer aspect of this game. I hate the comm balls.
finding comm balls normally? :)
finding them on expeditions where players are supposed to not be able to communicate :(
If there was a way to just turn off communication module visibility, I'd be happy.
I don't have that unfortunately
I used cloaking device and they still saw me lol
Honestly the com balls have been improved a thousand times by this update. They no longer have visible markers spamming your navigation and when you walk close to them their nonsense messages no longer start spamming your screen.
but then, we couldn't get this image
a perfect summary of starting out on this expedition
hlep
Call me insane but I like the immersion of being able to be killed by other players
Okay, as you wish. You are insane 😂
You’re definitely insane
Beankers2, the Insane
Took a break from NMS. How are we liking the new expedition?
New hauler looks cool!
Razor Crest
They have been on point with the new ship designs!
So far it’s a good feeling of struggle and anxiety. I’m enjoying it
It's great once you get off the starting planet. But it's a slow start.
Nice to hear! I'm thinking of going in blind
i did
Having to survive the starter planet is 🫦
makes it more fun
gotta get the wings and cockpit of the new shuttle
What bases reach up to 1.6ku
Your right!
Shai-Hulud the mighty is just your friend
then I attach them to a more razorcrest accurate engine
Like these engines?
and make it gray+tiled, if the exp ship parts can be colored
yep those and that rear engine
is there a way to refine activated emeril into normal emeril
is it chromatic metal x activated emeril?
You can get it easy from a mountain at rendezvous 1 planet
i havent started adrift, how do you get upgrades for buildings or better weapons if everything is decayed ?
You can't
okay thx its cool i found normal emeril🤞
@remote thunder
There was an error when uou have to find the communication tower as the tip says to search for a structure but when deploying the signal booster the option are:
Scan for transmitters
Or
Locate nearby structures
(The first option is correct one)
Anyone got the ship yet? What color is it?
What was rendezvous point 1
Im questioning it because in some screenshots its black and white, in others its green, orange and black
mapped the whole hujian-iha system, searched on every planet, on 4 different points
the signal booster just cant find the reality glitch, its frustrating😔
What's the first option in your signal booster?
Send ss
hi anyone playing adrift know of a certain planet for robot fauna or ancient bones?
Furthest i got was 400
and it is fixed - at least wehn you switch to experimental branch... 😄
What am I suppose to do with the chart waypoints objective?
You know the save waypoints you find near structures?
Uhhh no all I see are the ones to summon starships
heres the ship
Those @shell rivet
Right so just get 12 of them
Yeap
scan for reality breaches
Yes, yes, and it's finding nothing?
@rose veldt sadly not
Can you try something?
Deactivate MP, save then reload, and check again..
greern
greern
What's in experimental?
What does that mean
@rose veldt im playing with mp turned off the whole time
you cant visit the base if it isnt 'downloaded'
So then how do I downloaded it
theres some mountains that go higher than 1,600u on the starter planet
uh
i dont know
you dont?
unless you want to restart the game but you could always find a big enough mountain
Then I'm sorry, can't help you further, cause I don't know what should be the problem
Leave it for later and just try to complete the other ones.. When you do, in the meantime put a signal booster and search,
@lunar totem
hi anyone playing adrift know of a specific planet or system i can go to for robot fauna or ancient bones? having trouble finding them lol
Pin it in the logs.. Then go to the galaxy map and you will see a marker
@rose veldt ok, big thanks anyway for your effort 🙂
Select * current mission* too
5head, i think this actually might help lol thanks, im new-ish to the game
Something like this should be
yep thank you so much
Also when you are in the specific system, land on a planet and see how many creatures it has
It should be ONLY two
If it doesn't have two, then go to another planet from that system
ok cool, how did you enjoy adrift btw?
For me it was good, I always liked them
why are all the lush planets in this expedition completely empty lmfao
is there a list of what I should bring on expedition? Never done this before and I am so confused.
I just start from scratch, it's more fun for me that way (I'm playing on my old save all the time outside of the expeditions, so a fresh start is always welcomed)
I can't find any larval cores
It's the point of the expedition that's why
the least they could have done was put some grass on the ground lol
its only lush ones
can someone tell me how i am able to charge my submarine in this expidition ... i cant go on because its fuel is empty and i cant craft the fuel cells for it
do titan worm planets have whispering eggs on em?
yes
You unlocked your freighter already?
i havent' completed it yet, but there's either a milestone that rewards it or you'll ahve to unlock it from the anomaly/synthesis laboratory terminal
to unlock the freighter i have to go undersea with the nautilus -.-
which has no fuel
hydrothermal fuel cell yeah, anomaly/synth lab
i unlocked it from anomaly
anomaly is empty
is it normal that right at the start of adrift, when i try my ship fixed, i get attacked by 3 worms ?
lesgo
you'll still be able to access the lab
baby worm burrows - watch out for the red icon
BK, what's in experimental?
so ur say im struggling because i didnt looked there if the lab is working ? sigh
lots of important fixes
https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/
Fix for the tasks?
e.g.
Fixed an issue that could block progress in some Adrift milestones if every rendezvous had been visited before starting them.
That's what I wanted to see
the base part/recipe computers, exosuit terminal, appearance modifier and stuff like that still work
do i have to destroy them like 4 mins after starting, or is there another way ? ^^
"facepalm"
Does anyone know how to put the ship of the dam into there fleet. Asking for a friend
just walk around them, they're stuck in the ground
@remote thunder do you know??
wdym? did they claim the frigate? should be in their fleet; is this about claiming it in the main save?
He said he claimed it
Does it matter if his fleet was full?
Or can he just swap it
does it show as claimed in the quicksilver shop?
can they still reload a restore point before that?
I have collected 8 Larval Cores from the eggs
Why is it at 0/12?
sounds like something that wasn't foreseen

strange - try to save+reload, to see if it will update counter
He's gonna make a new save
creative mode will let them get to the anomaly quite fast
Alright I'll try that. Your advice does usually help so it will probably help
😄 well, not always hehe
I find the counters sometimes just flat out lag
He's doing that now
Usually it does for me
Give it a few minutes and it normally fixes itself
having the same problem... i can´t progress
btw, how do u get new scanner upgrades and build blueprints if all space stations are empty ?
already fixed on steam experimental branch, just got to wait for it to get released to public
I am still mad that I didn't get a photonix core because I speedran fhe last expedition
space anomaly terminals that don't have a npc are still available, e.g. synthesis laboratory
Can't trade packaged tech
@carmine prism I'm a pateron So I can send it to you
oh ok nice
its the oly thing i need to do.
The photonix core was something only obtainable from the day 1 patch or the ultimate edition
@drifting badge does your friend have the leviathan frigate in that save?
It's a pulse drive upgrade
correct
That was only added after I finished and claimed the reward
It comes with the starborn runner
So I didn't get it
uh, no, it was always there from the start iirc
Well I can assure you it wasn't
Because it wasn't on mine
And I finished the expedition within the first few hours
can I only access expedition rewards on my main save after the expedition?
Never got a dm
Whaaaa
Any save
on all saves under the same account
Yes
Yep
I can give it
It's A class, but doesn't overload
I thought you couldn't give packaged tech
@carmine prism you cant
hey guys, anyone have a surefire way of finding robotic animals for the milestone?
But I use the no man app and I'm a pateron
ill take a coordinate or system name
Add this friend code
There is an app?
the question was can I access it now or after? I wanna try this stealth paint stuff
H26R-30AZ-B8Z3G
@carmine prism website
I can give you the starborn runner as well
I have the starborn runner
If you want it
After it's earned, I believe
epic!
is there any way you could provide me with the wayfinder's expedition backpack?
can we trade credits nanites etc with other players?
@void sigil lemme check
it came back for christmas but my pc broke, i still beat myself up over it
idk if the name was wayfinders
hold on
I'm confused
@carmine prism did you add the service bot?
can give them items that they can sell for units or nanites
I can give nantes or quicksilver if need be >:)))))
how do you find robotic lifeform?
letting it go, but runner came with photonix core from the start, even when exp11 was tested in experimental first
hey bk, do you remember the name of the expedition that returned around christmas time?
its an old one that got put back up again
For help with the "service bot," which is not part of this Discord, I recommend the service bot's Discord. Run !CreativeHub in #bot-spam for the link
exp3 cartographers
thanks
uncharted systems, ignore planets with rusted metal in resource list
Impossible to give or trade quicksilver to other players.
how do u find uncharted systems? (been a while since I last played)
@fading python
to view info below, enable embeds
Star systems can be inhabited, abandoned or uncharted. We can easily tell the difference between inhabited and uncharted, but abandoned systems are a little easier to miss. Take a look at the embedded image.

@wraith venture oh sorry!!
@heady pilot no it's possible I can give 4k to you rn, but this isn't the channel for it
can we trade ships and multitools?
hmm - just saw 3 other iron vultures in other colors
either everyone has a random color or people started already to scrap and rebuild it
thanks, and when I find the planet what should I look for? is it like scan florae funa?
@drifting badge this one
not multitools, and "ship gifting" isn't a supported mechanic - so no, not really, there's no system in place for that
when you enter the system, the milestone hint lower right should acknowledge if there's a suitable planet or not
That's not possible because there is no tradable item in the game that can be sold for qucksillver like modules can be for nanites. Not without some BS like moding or save editing or some other form of cheating.
@void sigil name?
my name or the backpack?
@heady pilot I can give it to you rn if you add the bot and give me your friend code ❤️
@void sigil backpack
no idea
sure ty
I don't need quicksilver but like I said...not possible without cheating and you are definitely not doing this legit.
damn I wish if I saw a player with a cool ship I could trade for it LOL, oh well
Oh yeah different impossible without the bot
But with it it's possible
I just do it to help peeps 🙂
darn it takin a lil bit to get to switch qwp
hey all, I've got a nasty bug where I cannot claim fathoms below, it says my inventory is full but i have 20+ slots on character, 30-40 slots on ship, and another 20 on sub all free. I've reloaded my save and it still says inventory full so I cannot claim/turn in.
so random question: are we renaming our iron vultures?
Anyone know how long it should take them to fix the larval core not counting
arent there usually more phases?
Nope
As far as I know it's always been 5/6 the final phase being completing all prior phases
Ship trading is possible, if that glitch still works
it says it is nearby. any indiction or I have to enter each planet and scan?
I need to get to Anomaly to go back to regular game? This expedition stuff sucks. Not fun.
is that on service bot? kinda wish I could just craft them like PS users can
@crystal citrus yes
you can make the scan harmonizer normally
photonix core is neat, just dislike that I only have the one
Belive you can
I'm not sure if this is the problem, I remember seeing something similar.. But you have by any chance any S multitool or ship with you?
I mean.. want another xD
I meant the photonix thing
