[chilly steeple]

S-class ship yes, tool no.

[rose veldt]

Try to change the ship to the one recieved by the game or one which is not S.. Then try to collect the rewards again

[chilly steeple]

That was it. It wanted to force a ship-class upgrade and since I had S already it refused to work. That should be pinned I think.

[lethal mantle]

Abandoned systems with abandoned stations that... still scan you fir illegal cargo and send the cops after you ⚰️

[rose veldt]

Yep

[remote thunder]

will have to land and check for 2 fauna on discovery list/exploration guide;

[rose veldt]

@narrow jetty
Let's talk in here, it's better 😅

Well the ship, title, frigate, decoration, those was the important ones

[remote thunder]

list <#nms-expedition message>

[rose veldt]

^ those
Thx 😅 didn't knew that exist

[native harness]

Any update on a hot fix for doin stuff outta order?

[narrow jetty]

hmm... okay

[remote thunder]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/4339860450387955369/ just need to wait for it to hit steam public

[brisk plover]

So... I'm in a system that definitely has other player's bases. Several seem to be named 1600u, etc. But zero of them are loading for me. Any ideas why? Is that a 'feature' of the 'alone' nature of this expedition?

[narrow jetty]

its my first expedition so thats cool

[remote thunder]

pause, discoveries tab, lower left: is the connection to online discovery services server active

[native harness]

Pog thank s

[brisk plover]

Yes.

[rose veldt]

Hope you will enjoy it

[remote thunder]

save+reload then try again

[brisk plover]

Already saved, quit the game entirely, and relaunched the game.

[remote thunder]

probably just stale bases

do you have mp enabled or not

disable it

[drifting badge]

Whaaa

[narrow jetty]

danke

[remote thunder]

basically, no way to tell if you're seeing bases from ODS server or from other players in the system, so disable mp

who knows what their networks are doing

[runic flare]

im stuck on "the faintest echo" i put the signal booster down, use it to look for structures and none is what im looking for... i've done it like 5 times...

[brisk plover]

I should clarify: I do see a base (that goes up 1300u), but the icon for its base computer is not visible to me.

[remote thunder]

but the icon for its base computer is not visible to me.
that's what happens when a player builds a base too high

[turbid moon]

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY WORMS!

[remote thunder]

worm hives

[radiant lotus]

I found something in the anomaly. I was ||directed to make a mind arc, then when I placed it into the prime terminal it gave this message||

Is it related to the expedition, and if so what does it mean...

[remote thunder]

welcome to exp4 throwback

[turbid moon]

are they on every planet

[remote thunder]

nope

[brisk plover]

Any part of the base? Because the computer is down low:

[turbid moon]

they creep me out

[remote thunder]

ah i thought the base comp was itself invisible

[sturdy hedge]

how are you guys getting nanites for the quantum foam milestone?

[brisk plover]

Nope, just the waypoints leading me to them.

[sturdy hedge]

i’m like 1k away

[remote thunder]

zoology, for example.

[radiant lotus]

discover all the creatures for a planet

[sturdy hedge]

ok i’ll start doing that thanks

[radiant lotus]

Then you can get the nanite rewards

[brisk plover]

Message stations also don't seem to broadcast their message (I have to manually use them), and I could swear icons used to appear for them as well? I don't see those either.

[sturdy hedge]

oh wow you were right. i just cashed in a 1/1 creatures planet and got 250 nanites

thanks a ton

i’ll use this to get my ship and multi tool as well

[honest ore]

how do I get to the anomaly?

[native harness]

summon it with x

[honest ore]

it's not showing up on the bar

[radiant lotus]

in space

[stiff glacier]

Hello, who has also difficulties finding ancient bones? or am i the only one

[honest ore]

the anomaly isn't on the x bar

[native harness]

are you in space

[remote thunder]

need to warp out once

[radiant lotus]

If you scan the planet in space you should see "ancient bones" pop up

[honest ore]

I know I need to be in space

[honest ore]

• E = Green (emeril/activated emeril)
• B & O = Blue (indium/activated indium)

Colour blind filters are available in Options > General Options > Galaxy Map Colour Filter.

Non-living ships and freighters require hyperdrive tech upgrades to be able to reach RGB systems. An Indium Drive (Starship) or Temporal Warp Computer (Freighter) will cover all systems, no need for the previous drives to be installed other than a boost to range -- most notable for the Freighter.

Note: There's no information in game files that proves the host star temperature and oddities have any influence at all on system planet biome probability chances.

📖 Did you know? A star system may have only its stellar metal, its activated version or both.

[remote thunder]

B&O == blue

forget that advice though

uncharted systems

that's it, not necessarily blue

milestone itself should be directing player via galaxy map/current mission destination at the top

[fading python]

been to a few empty systems it keeps sying find blue

[remote thunder]

forget it

i'm telling you what's the requirement for robo fauna

regardless of what the game says

[sudden reef]

How do I do "A still, small voice"?

[remote thunder]

what seems to be the issue

[fading python]

you mean if I select the find robotic life form the expedition route will change to a system that has it?

[remote thunder]

if you select current mission at the top, it should lead you to a suitable planet for the milestone

[native harness]

yes fallen

[drifting badge]

Democracy

[stiff glacier]

Does this also apply to not scanned planets?

[woeful osprey]

ah lots og messages

[remote thunder]

yes

[sudden reef]

Its asking me to gaze at the stars for 60 seconds but it's not counting down

[stiff glacier]

thanks! on to system 40

[native harness]

are you in your ship or on a planet

[remote thunder]

iirc, lush biome planet, during night time, on foot

[woeful osprey]

darn still no for switch
i be waiting more

[keen bloom]

it doesnt have to be a lush biome planet?

[remote thunder]

yeah, idk if it does or not

[native harness]

all you need to do is stand outside your ship and look up for 60s

[remote thunder]

i haven't still completed the expedition

[rose veldt]

At night

[stiff glacier]

I have finally found them!

[runic flare]

im out of surge batteries and i don't have the BP... how do i unstuck myself lol

[remote thunder]

wait for the next public patch, there's a fix for that in steam experimental branch

[runic flare]

lol

[remote thunder]

Fixed an issue that prevented the Surge Battery recipe from being learnt at the correct point of the Adrift Expedition.

[brisk plover]

I can't see base icons for other player's bases, despite standing near one. Discovery services are online for me. I've tried:

• Multiplayer disabled (and restart the client)
• Multiplayer enabled (and restart the client)
• Verifying installed files (no problems found)
• Leaving the system and returning.
  Any other ideas?

Let me approach this from a different direction: Does anyone see base icons on their compass, as waypoints, etc?

[wraith junco]

I did it 🥳

[wraith junco]

I dont saw any base icons

[brisk plover]

Thanks. So there's a chance that this is a trait of the expedition. (Every base I've found that claims 1600u in height also seems to terminate around 1300u. I wonder if that is, too.)

[silver mist]

Nice! have to wait for the patch.

[viral depot]

The destination for me to find synthetic life only has 2 lifeforms out of the 3 required and I cannot find another system with synthetic life because it is incredibly rare and the mission won't update away from that system

[silver mist]

i found one near the 5th rendevouz

[silver mist]

maybe travel there and search again!

[viral depot]

I'm way too far for that

[rose veldt]

did you scan both of them on that planet ? if yes .. what does the mission log says ? That there is no more lifeform you seek in that system or that it does ?

[silver mist]

i was also worried...

[sudden reef]

Does the ship reward have blue effect like on the trailer?

[silver mist]

some planets have 2 or even 3 of them!!!

[rose veldt]

theres a possibility that there are 2 planets in a single system with them

[viral depot]

I scanned both of them on the planet, it said that there's no more synthetic life in the system, and it won't tell me where I can find more. It still shows the mission icon being in that system

[remote thunder]

no, robo fauna planets will only ever have 2 species max

[wraith junco]

There is. 100%. I been there

[viral depot]

Why the hell is it even a mission then?

[reef patio]

spawned on first planet - no copper deposits anywhere

[remote thunder]

time to keep looking furhter out

there are copper deposits on the starter planet

[reef patio]

went 1k u from my ship still none

[hasty sequoia]

i cannot find an underwater freighter to save my life✋

[reef patio]

dang, is it gonna be a 2 hour trek -.-

[rose veldt]

do you have the nautical submarine ?

[torn crater]

so in adrift, can you even make fixed bases, or resource mining farms when so many planets have worms ? or can you permanently remove them somehow ?

[hasty sequoia]

yes, and the scanner

[remote thunder]

one of the milestones most likely rewards high powered sonar tech for nautilon; it can scan for sunken crashed freighters directly, quick menu/scan/sunken freighter

[viral depot]

I hope someone makes a base that has synthetic life

[rose veldt]

and when you are scanning ? what does it say ?

[viral depot]

Because rn I'm softlocked because the mission wont update and show me where more synthetic life is

[hasty sequoia]

no nearby buildings (ive been searching for 25 mins)

[rose veldt]

if nothing try on another water planet ?

[viral depot]

I've only ever found synthetic life once in my 6 years of playing this game

[remote thunder]

either that or you get lucky

[remote thunder]

fly away to the other side of the planet, try again

[rose veldt]

or that

[remote thunder]

if it's a gek/korvax/vykeen system ofc

[hasty sequoia]

would it be better to just move planet altogether

this sea is legit empty af lmfao

[remote thunder]

all planets with water in inhabited systems are most likely going to have all types of POI

exocrafts have limited range

[hasty sequoia]

okay well i'll come back in like 5 mins when i find one 🤞

tyty

[rose veldt]

can you try to switch to another mission ? like going to the next rend , then switch again to synthetic mission and see if you get new coords

@viral depot ^

[pliant violet]

Any know how to do “it’s alive” it’s in phase 3?

[rose veldt]

Pin the mission in logs..
--Then go to galaxy map and check if you see any marker

• Put the destination to : current mission

[gusty cave]

Hey yall! I'm getting ready for my first community expedition! What's recommended that I take?

[wraith junco]

Oxygen

[hasty sequoia]

update: i found one

[hasty sequoia]

helpful tip: you do not have to do the milestones in order, u can complete a lot of the milestones on the first planet u spawn in on! have fun

[gusty cave]

It sounds like it's going to reset my game, should I make a new save?

[remote thunder]

i'd probably suggest waiting before jumping in, there's quite a few bugs on non-steam experimental branch builds atm. that said, basic materials, stuff that you can refine for nanites e.g. runaway mould, items to sell for units, a packaged indium drive or some emeril to craft indium drive, a solar mirror,

[remote thunder]

no, it doesn't touch your primary save - it creates a separate section inside your save file to store your expedition progress in

making a new save or not is up to you - making a new save is probably recommended if all you care about is getting the phase and final rewards

list <#nms-expedition message>

[gusty cave]

Hmm, now I'm scared maybe I'll wait till next expedition, hopefully theyll have the bugs patched and I wont have to worry about losing anything

[remote thunder]

there's nothing to fear if you make an expedition save on the side

[pliant violet]

You have to find synthetic feature on empty words in blue class star systems and scan them is the gist

[remote thunder]

@gusty cave you push through, complete it, get the rewards, then load up your main save, and claim those rewards from the anomaly, boom, done

delete the expedition save if you want after

we can have up to 15 saves side by side

[rose veldt]

no need only blue , you can find even in red .. just to be uncharted ...

If you pin the mission , then go to galaxy map you will see a destination

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

[pliant violet]

Yep just got one

We’ll have the system just need the planet

[vale knoll]

When you finish expedition will it force a survival play to normal or not?

[remote thunder]

if you complete and claim all milestones (+ phase + final rewards) it should trigger the early conversion prompt

if started from scratch, then converts to normal mode (usually, not sure on this one as i haven't finished it yet)

if from existing save, then allow player to finish exp at anomaly terminus

[rose veldt]

Yep, it's will convert automatically to a normal save, without a decline option 😅, then you can continue from there to do the story like normal
(the expedition tab just vanishes)

[drifting warren]

where can I find emeril

[remote thunder]

there's only been 1 expedition that converted to survival, i was leaving that scenario open that's all 😄

[rose veldt]

Got it got it 😅

[remote thunder]

in green star systems; to get there you'll need a emeril or indium drive, emeril drive requires cadmium, which you'll primarily get from red star systems, accessible when ship has a cadmium drive intalled, which needs chromatic metal to build

[rose veldt]

I remember when we had that expedition on survival, then yeah it was converted on survival at the end

[lusty slate]

Leviathan, yes

[silk tundra]

I have not played NMS in a few years. This expedition looks amazing... Can't wait to jump in and enjoy the solitude

wait, those arent anwhere in the station

anymore

[remote thunder]

yes, they will be in abandoned stations

all inhabited systems in this expedition have been turned abandoned

[wintry void]

finally completed, did all except for 2x buggy missions, restarted and just did again but in right order, figured quicker than waiting for HG to patch

i dont think people will be speed running that, unless they can remember location of synthetic fauna and the ancient bones

[little robin]

Yo yo yo, I'm not in a nms groove atm cuz of the new destiny dlc, is it fine to wait a week or three before getting around to doing the expedition? I see it's available for quite a while still, but is it any longer than omega for example?

[lethal mantle]

Almost there...

[naive prism]

it'll run for about 6 more weeks

im stuck at the dream of freedom

it sais select rendevouz 3 milestone to proceed ... that thing is long done

You should be perfectly fine waiting a while.

how am i able to proceed ? .--

might be bugged, i restarted a new save

ouf

no thanks

[wintry void]

or wait to see if hg patch it

[arctic mulch]

to dream of sleep and dream of freedom both are bugged

[naive prism]

i really liked it-- i'm often annoyed with how easily things come, and it's not a challenge; this one went back to the basics, you are alone and need to accomplish things again, while also appreciating how far we have come

i.e. throwback to the past, with new things included

what is "approach the void" anyways ?

though, the only expedition i liked better was the time loop one-- where every death resets you (permadeath player here, i only died for the milestone)

[frosty zealot]

I don't seem to have one1

[naive prism]

crafting one is part of the milestones

[wraith token]

If you don't have the plan to make one do the expedition things

[honest ore]

do you get the iron vulture throughout the expedition, or just at the end?

[hollow shore]

There is a pin that lists the milestones and rewards, one of them provides the personal refiner mk2

[frosty zealot]

Found it! Thanks all, I knew I was missing something!

[naive prism]

in the end

however, i wouldn't mind it if expeditions would start with one of the rewards (like the ship) because otherwise the ship just goes into my storage and i never touch it again

[honest ore]

I'm gonna scrap it for a piece or two to build my own hauler

[naive prism]

that just feels wrong, lol

[honest ore]

does it though

I'm getting two of them

I might just put one in storage, or scrap both

the ship will actually get use instead of sitting all alone

[naive prism]

not all alone

right next to my utopia speeder, golden vector, living ship and starborn ship

[honest ore]

it'll still see actual use this way

and the parts are pretty cool

I'm debating cockpit or tail

[sudden reef]

I got it and it doesn't have the blue effect on its wings

[scenic prairie]

whats the point in expedition if you have to start a new save and loose everything

[naive prism]

you don't lose everything

you take the rewards to your main save

[scenic prairie]

how

[naive prism]

Through the quicksilver companion

you claim the rewards on your expedition save, then restart to your main/normal save and redeem the rewards through the quicksilver companion at the Anomaly

and the whole reason to start it with a new save, is to get a refreshed experience of the early game

i have a maxed-out save with a big-ass Venator-class freighter, 30 S-class frigates and multiple S-class fighter class starships with enormous range. If i were to run the expedition on that save, I would be done within 10 minutes or so.

[hollow shore]

And you do not ' have to' start on a new save. See: #nms-expedition message (pin)

[naive prism]

^

to me it feels like a false start, or not fully engaging the experience, so i always use clean saves and delete them afterwards. true, i lose some stuff in the process, but nothing consequential

nothing i don't already have on my main save

[drifting warren]

on what planets can I find robot life

Uncharted systems, ignoring planets with rusted metal in resource list

[austere meteor]

how the hell do I do "All that you survey"? I swear however thought of this milestone is stupid

[vital aspen]

find a planet with mountains and hope and pray its tall enough

[austere meteor]

I found a base that has a huge sky staircase but it only go's up to 1,300ku

is there a planet with big enough mountains that's in the system that the "Amidst the Stars" milestone sends you to?

welp time to jump off this big ass staircase

[viral depot]

That worked ty

[hollow shore]

Planet Eido W11 (RV3) is good for 'All That You Survey' (climb a mountain over 1,600u). The RV location is basically at a hill tall enough to land on and get it to trigger

[austere meteor]

Aight thanks I'll go there

might as well visit RV2 on the way

[hollow shore]

Reason a lot of bases have parts missing is due to how high up those mountains are. The game is not designed for building that high and rids of base parts.

(actually, the base parts still exist, but fail to render)

[austere meteor]

Also, I get that the whole point of this expedition is the fact you're alone but...

I'm still sad I can't talk to quicksilver guy to get a free utopia speeder

or free atlas sceptor

[hollow shore]

There is actually a bug with a few of the ' Dream' milestones, which have to be done prior to visiting the related RV locations. Fixed in Steam Experimental, but may take a bit to become available on all platforms

[drifting badge]

Well I'm stuck at a mission

[hollow shore]

So basically be careful to not go too far ahead with the RV completions.

[naive prism]

acknowledged.

[hollow shore]

Which mission would that be?

[drifting badge]

Fathoms below phase 4

Submarine ran out of gas and don't have the plant to make the fuel

Nice :]

[hollow shore]

You can find it underwater

[drifting badge]

Wdym??

[wraith junco]

U just need submarine scanner to Locate sunken freighter. U can fly to it using ship

[hollow shore]

The resources for crafting fuel for the Nautilon. As said above though, not necessarily required

[austere meteor]

Update: I Found a base on the planet with RV2 that has landing pads, which are over 1.6ku

Base is called: "1600"

[boreal violet]

Same planet where rendezvous 1 is. Has high enough mountains

[drifting badge]

@hollow shore well how to fine the frigate?

[hollow shore]

Sunken Freighter /// You install the High Power Sonar and scan for one

[drifting badge]

I did but I can't move anymore due to no fuel ;-;

And none pop up

[blissful crow]

Guys sry being dumb, but how can i get Deuterium in the first planet to fix my ship?

[hollow shore]

Either get fuel, or spawn it elsewhere and then try again?

[drifting badge]

@blissful crow power and dy hydrogen I belive

@hollow shore I did, still out

Issue is I can't craft fuel

[pliant gyro]

Silicate Powder + Dihydrogen = Deutrium

[drifting badge]

Haha I knew it

[blissful crow]

Ohh i need the refiner MK2 i see

[wintry void]

swim to an island, call ship in fly to sunken freighter, land at nearest island, swim for 30 sec

no sub needed

There 50 free slots in the ship

[hollow shore]

Maybe this is the Steam Experimental fix for it?

Fixed an issue that prevented the claiming of some expedition milestones if one of the rewards upgraded a ship or multitool, but the current item was already at S-Class.

[safe frost]

On the playstation

I'll send a ticket

[hollow shore]

See: https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/4339860450387955369/
It will go public to all platforms soon enough. No clue when exactly, but on its way

[safe frost]

Thanks

[hollow shore]

You could possibly work around it by getting a cheap C-class ship?

[safe frost]

i've still got the horrid starting shuttle.. i'll swap and try that

[royal jetty]

I started the Expedition I still have my old save right?

[hollow shore]

@safe frost And perhaps it works if a tech slot is freed? Not sure, but worth a shot

[blissful crow]

yes

[royal jetty]

ok thats good

thx

[drifting badge]

How can I tell of I found a frigate underwater?

Cuz I still can't fine this thing

[blissful crow]

With submarine is garanteed that you will find one, you just need to be in not a Green/Red/Blue system and use the submarine signal

[lime kelp]

Does anyone have the location of a travler grave / reality breach?
I ran out of batteries for the signal booster, and it's the last thing I need

[drifting badge]

@blissful crow I'm in somewhat a yellow 1

[safe frost]

OK... that worked guys.... I swapped back to the shuttle we started with and now can claim the award... Thank You🎉

[hollow shore]

See my reply to someone else here: #nms-questions message

[lime kelp]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[gloomy harness]

Anyone else bugged out in the Adrift expedition??

[gloomy moss]

Is there a way to see the amount of species on a planet without landing on it

[hollow shore]

Known issue and a fix is already available on Steam Experimental. Should go live to us all soon ™️ enough

[gloomy harness]

Oh thank God a real answer!

[gloomy moss]

Something like that happened to me but more early

I think you might randomly get the recipe

[safe frost]

Ahhhhh.... That milestone gives inventory storage.. but of course my main ship has them all unlocked.. so it shows as Inventory Full... silly bug

[naive prism]

that's pretty rad, ngl

i don't think any dev expected you to max out your ship before that point

[hollow shore]

The recipe, is supposed to be given by 'Stirring The Nest' (Phase 2, milestone 5). A fix is on it's way too though, which may have altered that a bit.

[steady idol]

Hot fix soon and the Razor Crest is mine

[hollow shore]

@gloomy moss

Fixed an issue that prevented the Surge Battery recipe from being learnt at the correct point of the Adrift Expedition.

[gloomy moss]

It already fixed for me randomly

Also I found a good method for finding synthetic life/robotic species

Select the exploration guide thing

[hollow shore]

Yes, it mentions 'at the correct point', which makes me believe it is given, but not when/where it was supposed to

[gloomy moss]

I forgot if it happened before stirring the nest or after

[golden forge]

Expedition is took good

[latent musk]

This may be a silly request, but for an expedition where the theme is being alone an an abandoned universe, it really took me out of it a bit to start the journey surrounded by 3 other travellers, and with there being huge piles of communication stations at every key point

It's easy enough to disable multiplayer, but the only way I found to hide communication stations is to start the game while Steam is in offline mode

[hollow shore]

That was the only location I found in source that rewarded the recipe. The fix will likely change it

(it is actually not mentioned in UI anywhere)

[gloomy harness]

Any word on when the hot fix is to release

[remote thunder]

...yet somehow still alone. The galaxy has been abandoned. There is no life to be seen anywhere – no aliens, no operational space stations, none of the usual network of shops and buildings.

[hollow shore]

Nope, we never know until it's there

Platform considered, it should be soon enough

[gloomy harness]

I agree! Also they said no vendors but the space station still has a trade terminal lol 🤣

[remote thunder]

no npc vendors

[gloomy harness]

They said no people but sentinel ships stop me in space 😂

[remote thunder]

sentinels aren't people

[gloomy harness]

I know it's still funny though

[drifting badge]

True

[latent musk]

Sentinels are more of a property of this universe than they are people xP

[gloomy harness]

Don't be a sentinelist! Lmao

[gloomy moss]

This looks kinda liminal

[pearl nacelle]

Is there a quick and easy way to get microprocessors for the hyperdrive

[latent musk]

Also, it may be a bit of an edge case, but if your freighter came with a frigate in this expedition and you land on it, you're still greeted by a vykeen/gek/korvax instead of silence

[gloomy harness]

Unlock the personal refiner and take them to dupe town

[gloomy moss]

It reminds me of the blue dot picture from voyager 1

[gloomy harness]

You can also buy them from space stations

[gloomy moss]

But without a really small dot

[blissful crow]

Be luck and find in the vendor in station. Or transform Activated carbon > Carbon > Nanotubes, and craft by recipe

[gloomy harness]

I'm liking the new expedition other than being soft-locked

[pearl nacelle]

👀

[pearl nacelle]

Yea the space station terminal doesn't have them 😂

[latent musk]

Carbon for carbon nanotubes is everywhere, and you can personal refiner to combine pure ferrite and copper (or other terrestrial metal) to get loads of chromatic metal

[remote thunder]

remember to interact with cargo pods and damaged machinery, might get lucky that way too

[gloomy harness]

Put a refiner down > place item inside refiner > place more refiners on top of original > break down refiners > item duped

[latent musk]

Activated indium + Pure Ferrite gives 8x chromatic metal per one of each

[wraith junco]

I teleported to it and it didint had any npc.

[latent musk]

You get greeted by NPC if you land on one of the frigate's landing pads in your ship instead of teleporting to it

[gloomy harness]

Do I get to keep my new companion after I beat the expedition?

[pearl nacelle]

Does activated copper do the same

[latent musk]

Yeah, but only 2x chromatic metal per one of each

[remote thunder]

that egg is a phase reward, it will be unlocked account wide, you wouldn't need to bring the egg with you anyway, but no

[pearl nacelle]

Rip

[gloomy harness]

So how do I get it when I get back to normally multiplayer

[remote thunder]

no, act copper refines to 1 cmetal

[latent musk]

act copper + pure ferrite tho

[pearl nacelle]

With pure ferrite it's two tho

Well time to risk my life on the stormy planet for some copper

[wraith junco]

Claim it from quicksilver vendor on anomaly

[gloomy harness]

Ty

[remote thunder]

ah i see mb

confusing

[remote thunder]

just goto the anomaly, claim it from the quicksilver shop/claim exp rewards

[blissful crow]

Take 10 or 20 storm crystals so you don't need more money for the rest of expedition

[latent musk]

That's what I did haha

Keeping a stack of 10 to use as fuel

However money doesn't seem the priority in this expedition

Trade terminals are much more limited, and you can't buy ships/tech modules

[pearl nacelle]

Can't buy ships 😢 how will I ever replace this junky shuttle

[latent musk]

Crashed ships still exist 👍

[remote thunder]

personally i almost never replace my starter ships

i just don't have the time for it, and no need

[pearl nacelle]

The hyperdrive range on this is so miserable tho

[noble cobalt]

why doesnt it work

[remote thunder]

there's a couple milestones that will reward hyperdrive modules

[noble cobalt]

i have 5 surge batteries

[remote thunder]

2 a-class, and 1 s-class

[remote thunder]

try to save+reload

[latent musk]

It's not a need, but in this expedition I'd rather be flying around in something stylish than a cramped little shuttle

[neat light]

you can find a holo terminal by flying low

[latent musk]

spent a bit bouncing around systems until I found a nicer to look at fighter class ship

[neat light]

took me like 7 mins ish

[noble cobalt]

doesnt work

[remote thunder]

have you tried just rebuilding the signal booster?

[noble cobalt]

yes

[remote thunder]

different system?

different planet?

[calm flax]

I usually dislike the starter ship so I go to Dissonant systems and get a sentinel ship. I got a nice B class and it's been upgraded to an A class. If I hadn't wasted my first upgrade it'd be S class now.

[soft saddle]

what planet is good for getting the 1600 climb? Also what makes yeast?

[remote thunder]

rendezvous 2 and 3 planets will work; faecium

[soft saddle]

ty ty

[woeful niche]

If there is no way to get wiring looms, then why do some of the milestone rewards require wiring looms to install? For example you get the plans for the shell greaser for the scatter blaster as a reward, but you can't install it w/o a wiring loom. Also, as some who who has died multiple times, I have no way to repair damaged tech. Tech that really helps. Makes no sense.

[chilly steeple]

you can always install a tech and the dismantle it to salvage them

[latent musk]

I cheesed this one by going to a low gravity planet, and ascending into the heavens lol

[hasty venture]

Anyone got a planet with the robo lifeforms? whereabouts at least?

[latent musk]

one of those worlds where you can just hold jetpack and go up forever

[gloomy harness]

You can purchase your normal ship and gun for nanites on the anomaly

It's expensive though if you don't dupe nanites

[remote thunder]

the milestone, the current mission destination on the galaxy map will lead you to a planet

remember, uncharted systems, regardless of color

[gloomy harness]

I took some hylain hearts and AI cores with me into the expidition

[hasty venture]

oh. I thought. it was one of the quests that are like "Tuff luck, find them yourself"

[woeful niche]

So I give up one tech for another? Unless I misunderstand.

[remote thunder]

wiring loom can be sold in trade terminals

[noble cobalt]

Hey umm... if someone scrapped the new hauler for the wings, can you dupe it and give me the part? i can give something for exchange

[woeful niche]

I need to buy them...?

[remote thunder]

cant craft looms, can't buy modules

so you either get modules elsewhere and install+dismantle, or you farm some units to buy looms

[chilly steeple]

you can salvage them from wrecks (ships) you find

[remote thunder]

right, i'd go with just farming units

bones, storm crystals, what have you

[remote mauve]

How do I earn nanites in this?

[chilly steeple]

complete scans of planets

[latent musk]

There's really nothing to spend nanites on in this

[remote thunder]

zoology, refining

1600 nanites to complete a milestone

[woeful niche]

I guess I am too confused at this point. I'll just press on until I am stuck.

[remote thunder]

lets say you find an ancient bone that sells for 2M: there, that's enough units to buy looms 🙂

[turbid moon]

how am i suposed to get to 1600m in the sky and why do i have to

[pearl nacelle]

Find a real big mountain ig

[turbid moon]

this is dumb

and really getting on my nerves

[remote thunder]

rdv2 and rdv3 planets work; fly around look for the tallest mountain peak, land as close as possible

[latent musk]

Do what I did, and just go to a low gravity planet; one of those worlds where you can just hold jetpack and go up endlessly on

[gloomy harness]

Base building parts, synergy, calling in ship from normal, calling in gun from normal

[remote thunder]

well, base parts require salvaged data, not nanites

[pearl nacelle]

W plan

[gloomy harness]

That's fair, one of them required nanites

[remote thunder]

nothing that comes from construction research station requires nanites

[gloomy harness]

Also extra pet slots require nanites

[gloomy harness]

It's the synergy terminal that requires nanites

[remote thunder]

synthesis laboratory yes, it does

all good

[latent musk]

also man

||abandoned space anomaly is unsettling||

[gloomy harness]

Poor Nada 😭

[latent musk]

😦

[rapid flicker]

Can't complete one of the expedition's objectives in vr (did it outside of vr). It's the one you have to look at the sky lol.

[gloomy moss]

Wait there is one where you just have to look at the sky

[rapid flicker]

Yea, for 60 seconds

But it doesn't register in vr XD

[woeful niche]

I lost my Surge Batteries when I died. Is there a way to craft them or buy them?

[woeful niche]

I get it now. I thought all the Galactic Terminals were disabled.

[prime imp]

Idk where to search for robotic life

[remote thunder]

Fixed an issue that prevented the Surge Battery recipe from being learnt at the correct point of the Adrift Expedition.
this is applied on steam experimental branch, just need to wait for the next public patch if you didn't get the bp yet

[remote thunder]

the milestone, the current mission destination on the galaxy map will lead you to a planet

[prime imp]

I followed the map but I can't find any jsjsjak

[remote thunder]

!faq-mechafauna in #bot-spam fr more info

[prime imp]

Thank you~

[woeful niche]

Ok. Then there is hope of finishing. Thanks.

[blissful gust]

I'm stuck on the repair multitool one. it told me to repair three things, which I did. Then it told me to gather Na+, which I did. Now it wants me to repair an unbroken slot

[remote thunder]

try to save+reload maybe?

[blissful gust]

did not work

repairing a different broken thing did not fix it either

[remote thunder]

maybe try selecting a diff milestone, then back again?

[cerulean olive]

No captain's log on my derelict freighter milestone. Credentials not given to me, due to full bags, ffs.

[blissful gust]

now it wants me to repair ship components

[latent musk]

This definitely wasn't intended, but shoutout to this legendary vy'keen who somehow escaped the mysterious disappearance of the entire universe's intelligent life and continues his mining work on this frigate

Gabudon's just built different

[jolly flicker]

Or build a ramp

Anyone found synthetic creatures yet?

All I find is exotic

[remote thunder]

plenty of players have completed that milestone

[remote thunder]

when you select that milestone, 1) galaxy map will have a current mission pathline marking a system with a suitable planet 2) when you warp to an uncharted system, the hint lower right of the HUD will tell you if there's a suitable planet or not

[gloomy moss]

I can't find rendezvous point 3

[jolly flicker]

I always scan with my ship for locations

[remote thunder]

are you on the right planet?

[gloomy moss]

Oh yeah that's a good idea

[cerulean olive]

I got the Engineering Unit Salvaged, mapped 12/12 zones got the crew manifest, but the secure mainframe won't let me login. Am I screwed at my derelict freighter?

[remote thunder]

rdv3 Lat/Long: +74.80, -178.92

[jolly flicker]

Okay thank you!

[remote thunder]

you'll need the secure credentials item that drops from log snippets

[cerulean olive]

My bags were full, I think, because I didn't get it....

found all snippets

[latent musk]

When bag is full, you can just use the terminal again after you clear a slot to go through all the dialog again and get it

[gloomy harness]

They are still there you just have to interact with the logs to pick them up

[cerulean olive]

cheers guys. I'll read them again

[tight dragon]

jesus christ they really want you to use that damnable shuttle

can't get dreadnought ai fragments because sentinel interceptors spawn infinitely

no charts so no shipwrecks unless you get really lucky

<:info:850810445577453658> How to easily spawn Sentinel Freighter

Note: This only works in non-outlaw systems.

• Save+reload first.
• Repeatedly shoot the space station till wanted level 4
• Then pulse boost away from the station to lure sentinel ships away from it (we do so to avoid the infinite sentinel ship spawn behavior, we can't get to level 5 by just shooting the station alone)
• Destroy sentinel ships till wanted level goes up to 5, just wait for sentinel freighter to spawn.

(How to destroy it: fly inside the shields, shoot both shield generators on both sides, then just shoot it pretty much anywhere till it blows up.)

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

3rd bullet point above

[tight dragon]

ah thanks

[remote thunder]

it's not because it's expedition, that's normal known behavior when shooting a station and sticking around it

[calm flax]

I definitely got lucky. I was looking for an echo locator and happened to look to the left side of the ship and there was a sentinel ship on the ground. Still using it.

[latent musk]

I just used an anomaly detector, and randomly got distressed sentinel ship event

pretty huge

[calm flax]

I've got an anomaly detector. I should try it.

[calm flax]

Did you activate it on the ground or in space?

[latent musk]

In space

[calm flax]

Thanks. I'll try it and see what happens a little later.

[remote thunder]

save before using it

[calm flax]

That's how I get my emeril in the first system when I start a new save. save often

[gloomy moss]

I still can't find the rendezvous

[remote thunder]

are you on the planet already?

near the approx location marker?

[gloomy moss]

Yeah I am on the planet and near that

[remote thunder]

@gloomy moss ^

use visor

[calm flax]

I had an issue at rendezvous 5 that when I got out of the ship it didn't prompt me with the direction to the rendezvous location. I had to keep getting out and it finally starting showing the direction to go.

[remote thunder]

our own freighter, when in the system, can interfere with target sweep functionality

[calm flax]

I also have an issue with markers disappearing when I get in exocraft a lot of the time. I want to use the exocraft but, it's hard to do when I mark something and as soon as I get in the marker disappears.

[lost hatch]

Hey guys. Can someone help me? Idk how to complete To dream of stars. ex13/ph3

[remote thunder]

did you manage to get through?

[remote thunder]

what does the mission hint lower right of the hud say you need to do?

[lost hatch]

Just "Approach the void to begin your dream, let your mind drift to the stars as your slip through spacetime"

[remote thunder]

that sounds like it wants you to go to space, and pulse drive towards empty space until hailed

[silk jay]

where the hell are these synthetic creatures, i found a planet with 2 and have found none since, ive been visiting blue systems constantly. is the quest supposed to update if theres robot life in your system? cause so far it hasnt been telling me anything except find blue systems where im already in one

@silk jay
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

Contributors: Atlas Emissaries

[blissful gust]

yeah, finally

[silk jay]

will it always be in a blue system? like is it guaranteed theres robot life in blue systems?

[rapid flicker]

Pin the mission and set the galaxy map to follow the current mission, it'll tell you which one specifically

[silk jay]

oh my god this helps thank you

[cerulean olive]

think I ran into a bug. the To dream of Sleep milestone wants me to do the dream milestone from phase 4...., which I already done.....

[lost hatch]

Lol. Yes. I tried this a few times yesterday, and today before I start playing I wanted to ask. Well, interesting that it came true immediately now and nothing yesterday. Must be some kind of bug. Thanks for confirming I was doing it right. 😄 I got it.

[remote thunder]

already fixed on steam experimental branch, just got to wait for the next public patch

[warped abyss]

What galaxy is the Expedition in/do we get glyphs as a reward at all or is it all hoofin' it?

[cerulean olive]

there's always some bug out there that needs a fix in these expeditions, right?

[remote thunder]

euclid/no portal glyph set reward

[random lance]

Someone help me

[warped abyss]

Tysm!

[remote thunder]

yeah it can happen for sure; one thing's for sure, those who don't want to help test it out can just wait a week or two, and still have plenty of hours left to complete it 🙂

[remote thunder]

with?

[random lance]

I'm stranded on an island in the expedition

And there is no di hydrogen crystals

[gloomy moss]

Just look harder

[rapid flicker]

One of the objectives is also unachievable in vr XD

[remote thunder]

dihydrogen can spawn underwater

[random lance]

I kinda can't

Thanks

[rough nymph]

Reload last restore point

[rapid flicker]

Oof, gonna take a while

[cobalt fox]

better get to swimming!

[random lance]

Thysm I'm saved

[rapid flicker]

||it'll be like 1 or 2 H² per rock||

[cerulean olive]

Got all done, except for the Dream of Sleep milestone, for which I'll have to wait for a fix... lol

No Hauler for the pizza man yet

[rapid flicker]

What's going on with this one?

[cerulean olive]

it won't recognize the previous milestone from phase 4, so it won't let you progress the dream in phase 5.

[rapid flicker]

Hope they get it fixed soon

[cerulean olive]

me too.

[remote thunder]

it's already fixed on steam experimental, so it's just a matter of all those fixes getting tested, bundled into the next public patch, and released

[cerulean olive]

Glad there is a fix. I just hate it that there is always something that needs a fix in expeditions.

[small acorn]

How many travelers would have died in this expedition without internet and discord 🤣

[neat mica]

Any tips on the 1600 elevation

[remote thunder]

rdv2 and rdv3 planets will work; just drop inside atmos and look for the highest peak around, then land as close to the top as possible

[stuck haven]

what bk201 said but another thing you could do which is what i did was i use the terrain manipulator and built up as high as i could then just use stairs to finish it off

[neat mica]

I don't have the mats for stairs ngl

I have not been grabbing enough ferrite and carbon

[remote thunder]

just remember to have mats to recharge launch thruster so you don't get "stranded" at the top

[neat mica]

I fabricated my ship from main save lol, I have regen fuel

[stuck haven]

ahh rip that was like the first thing i focused on when starting was just farming

[neat mica]

My main focus was my multitool form the last exposition I named funi stick

The atlas staff

[stuck haven]

man this its alive expedition one sucks

finding those robotic lifesforms

[remote thunder]

do note that when the milestone is selected, the galaxy map will have a current mission destination, selectable at the top

that will lead to a suitable system

after that, see <#nms-expedition message>

[stuck haven]

I went to it but it didnt have any

ive even tried red planets

[remote thunder]

did the mission hint lower right say there was a suitable planet?

[remote thunder]

only planets in uncharted systems can have robo fauna, but not all uncharted systems will have at least 1 planet with robo fauna

[stuck haven]

naw it just says blue planets

[remote thunder]

that's just wrong

and not planets, systems

[remote thunder]

again ^

[stuck haven]

ahh

yea ive never actually seen those even on my main playthrough which is crazy

[remote thunder]

an example

[gloomy harness]

Red and blue star systems and when you land go to companion and see if battery shows as bait if not leave the plant and try a diff one

[remote thunder]

when the milestone is selected, the hint lower right of the HUD will tell you if there's a suitable planet in the system or not

no need to even land anywhere

[stuck haven]

hmm alright I will see what I can find with all this new information thanks 🙂

[elder yarrow]

So just jumping back in... how useful would it be to have a starship that can take down sentinel frigates?

[remote thunder]

for expedition? i mean, if you want to get a carrier ai frag to get a sentinel ship - but alt, you'd just clone a sentinel ship from your main save

personally, i don't see the need to take down sentinel freighter in exp13

[elder yarrow]

eh, i'm skimming catching up, so might have misread that XD

[woeful osprey]

still no new for switch qwp

im not patient enough lol

[cerulean olive]

switch is always a few days late.

[cobalt fox]

why does shai hulud gotta be on every planet

[quaint root]

To the player named Shanky, you are mental XD

[solemn bane]

The real question is why can't I fight them

The big noisy ones I mean

[quaint root]

Shanky is building himself a tower instead of finding a mountain that's 1,600 high

[cobalt fox]

you can find a mountain on rndv 2 that is 1600 tall

[latent musk]

Reminder that you can hold jetpack to go up forever on empty low-gravity planets

I just spend a few minutes ascending

to get that one

[remote thunder]

well, not forever, you will have to wait for jetpack tank to regen every few seconds, but yeah

[quaint root]

His tower is famous here, went to the nearest mountain and instead of it being the highest, I found message beacons here about a mysterious tower.

[latent musk]

You can just hold space, and it automatically propels you up a little bit every time the jetpack regens a sliver

resulting in constant up movement

[remote thunder]

yeah, i see what you mean, it's just going to be slow going

[charred torrent]

anyone have a completed expedition save i can look at to fix my bugged dream mission? :S

[remote thunder]

just wait for the next public patch, it's already fixed on steam experimental branch

[drifting badge]

Anyone know the glaze apon the stars

Staring at it and nothing happening

[charred torrent]

I guess I could but I'm impatient

[stable onyx]

I assume stand on a planet at night and look straight up. Worked for me.

[blissful hamlet]

Is the expedition up already?

[stable onyx]

As of yesterday, yes.

[blissful hamlet]

Aight, gonna kill like, 20 more lynels in totk before starting it

[stable onyx]

Gotta say, I'm not a fan of scan x of this, kill x of that, do x of this, etc missions. It's just pointless busywork.

[drifting badge]

@stable onyx just did that ty!

[stable onyx]

Happy to help.

[drifting badge]

@blissful hamlet you get a cool frig called ship of the dam

[stable onyx]

With an atlas station bobble lol.

[neat mica]

Found a staircase in the wild lol

[blissful hamlet]

Ship Of The Damned?

[neat mica]

I now see that many other people used the tower method

[stable onyx]

Probably to get to a height of 6k.

[neat mica]

I tried to but don't have stairs

[neat mica]

16 hundred

[stable onyx]

Ah. Right.

Remembered a 6 somewhere lol.

Found a neat staircase with a viewing platform and flags. Looked pretty nice.

[astral abyss]

In my previous expedition I didn't notice the ability to take stuff with me from my Main save until I was almost half way done with it, so I didn't use it. Now that I learned this expedition is about being alone (no shops), I'm debating on whether to use this feature...

Are you guys taking resources with you on this expedition, or trying to get the full experience by not taking anything?

[remote thunder]

up to you, there's players doing either

[stable onyx]

I had no issues starting fresh.

[neat mica]

I was going to take my mk2 refiner with me

[stable onyx]

Though it probably would be expediant to start with the basics. Oxygen, sodium, ferrite dust, dihydrogen, etc.

[remote thunder]

expeditions were always possible to complete from scratch, so starting from primary isn't like mandatory

[neat mica]

But the game gives you one very early

[remote thunder]

exactly

[neat mica]

And omg it got so much better

[astral abyss]

That's what I wanted to take... But I guess I'll have to decide whether or not to take them by the time I get to play it

[remote thunder]

i'd bring basics, indium drive or emeril, looms, solar mirror, 12 crystal sulphide, some stuff to sell for units

[neat mica]

They are constructing a stairway to heaven

[paper elbow]

Im on phase three, any easy way to get to a blue system? Im trying to get the robot thingy

[astral abyss]

Didn't know you could take that, interesting.

[stable onyx]

Oh. And chromatic metal. And some advanced warp cores I forget the name of.

[neat mica]

Yea just package it

[remote thunder]

do note that when the milestone is selected, the galaxy map will have a current mission destination, selectable at the top

additionally, when the milestone is selected, the hint lower right of the HUD will tell you if there's a suitable planet in the system or not

[paper elbow]

I dont i have it selected but all i got is expedition route

Yes i tried changing it

[remote thunder]

are you sure? do you have the milestone mission selected in the Log tab?

[stable onyx]

You actually only need to get to red systems, if you don't want to craft all 3.

[paper elbow]

Yeah

[astral abyss]

I haven't started the expedition, but isn't this one about being totally alone? I read there's no one there, and no shops.

[remote thunder]

it's only referring to game stuff, not other players

[stable onyx]

No NPCs period.

[drifting badge]

No npc but sents are there

[remote thunder]

uncharted systems then

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.

[paper elbow]

Ok i got it to work, still says i need emiril to even get there

[remote thunder]

when the milestone is selected, the hint lower right of the HUD will tell you if there's a suitable planet in the system or not

[drifting badge]

@astral abyss you are adrift in space no life forms at all

[remote thunder]

yes, well, going to need to complete and claim the milestone to get the hyperdrive tech upgrades

[stable onyx]

Anyone try going to the center of the galaxy before completing the expedition?

[paper elbow]

I did, still need to actually build them

[stable onyx]

I'm curious how the expedition would affect that.

[blazing rapids]

how are we meant to make nanites with no people in the stations or nexus?

[paper elbow]

Scanning and uploading?

[faint mesa]

Scanning fauna

[stable onyx]

Crafting or found in damaged technology probably would be the most straightforward.

The worm planet you start on probably would be a good place to farm resources for nanites.

[faint mesa]

Oh yeah, good one

[remote thunder]

refining vile spawn, fleshy rope, radiant shards, etc etc

[faint mesa]

Yep, refined some larval cores, it helped

But mostly scanning fauna... that made the milestone easy -- plenty of lush planets on the expedition path

[astral abyss]

Can I pack my ship too!?

[remote thunder]

no, you'll just be able to clone it, if you have enough nanites

[stable onyx]

Also, pro tip. The terminals in the trading area of the anomaly still work. So you can purchase exocrafts, for example. Just not any technology upgrades. I found whatever the mech's called's scanner to be quite useful.

[remote thunder]

p3m6: it's alive - discover 3 robo fauna species
reward: mt class upgrade; minotaur geobay bp; pre-packaged minotaur ai pilot; minotaur tech bps
might reward radar array as well here

[stable onyx]

Well, if you want to unlock it early.

[faint mesa]

So... I started the expedition this evening... and, as always, I was eager to get to the Anomaly and forget about that god forsaken ship they gave me forever.

I guess many of you tried this and know what happened 😆

[stable onyx]

Hm?

[faint mesa]

No one on the QS shop

[stable onyx]

Right.

[faint mesa]

So I couldn't get any of my rewarded ships from previous expeditions

[nova zenith]

You can maybe warp to a non-expedition system and get your ship?

[stable onyx]

Whole universe is empty of NPCs in the expedition.

[nova zenith]

Oh really

[stable onyx]

Would have to copy a ship from your main save.

Don't know what happens if you try to go to the center of the galaxy.

[faint mesa]

Yeah, I started from a new save, always prefer that way

[nova zenith]

probably same as base game, you just go to another galaxy but its also void of all NPCs I imagine

[mossy iris]

This elevation mission is a testament to my hubris. "oh I'll make a bunch of stairs" fucking dumbass /lh

[left pivot]

where can I find starship outfitting terminal?

[faint mesa]

There is none

I think

[stable onyx]

Might be one on the anomaly?

[left pivot]

we cant add slots?

[remote thunder]

when you get the inventory slot rewards, they get auto applied

[stable onyx]

Couldn't remember if there's a ship terminal on the anomaly or not.

[faint mesa]

Yeah, don't make the same mistake as me
"I'll keep these storage augs for later..."
Nope.

[left pivot]

the ship augs didnt

[faint mesa]

Luckly the game gives you a second change

[remote thunder]

they defnitely should

don't back out accidentally trying to spam the button

[left pivot]

3 storage augs in my inventory

[stable onyx]

I wonder if the storage augs can be transferred over to your main save.

[remote thunder]

yeah

[faint mesa]

Wait for a milestone that expands your ship again

Then use all the storage augs you have

[stable onyx]

Then I've been missing out lol.

[left pivot]

game is also giving me a prompt to go to the outfitter in the space station

obvi is none

[stable onyx]

lol

[cerulean olive]

I got told to talk to Helios, who's obviously isn't there 😄

[remote thunder]

fixed on steam experimental as well

[left pivot]

yeh ok, its leaky main gaime stuff then

[cerulean olive]

I just checked the 30/5 notes on experimental. Haven't seen a fix for both this or the Dream to Sleep thing.

[stable onyx]

Wish expedition rewards synced across systems.

[remote thunder]

Fixed an issue that could cause a misleading hint related to Helios to appear while on the Adrift Expedition.

Fixed an issue that could block progress in some Adrift milestones if every rendezvous had been visited before starting them.

[stable onyx]

Like twitch rewards do.

[faint mesa]

Must say I'm pleased with the ammount of late milestones you complete almost accidentally in the first hours of the expedition

[remote thunder]

phase and final rewards are unlocked account wide

[stable onyx]

I mean between steam and xbox.

[remote thunder]

ah, well, not the same acct

[woeful osprey]

switch be still waiting over here and im hearing lots of bugs

[cerulean olive]

Ah, I must have overlooked those.

[faint mesa]

At least Switch gets a more polished version

[remote thunder]

look at it like this: you'll get a much cleaner and bug free version of the update

pc is testing

it's really that simple

[woeful osprey]

im just saying switch might have it's own problems

[remote thunder]

right, but if the base is already stabler

[faint mesa]

I remember Switch players waited quite a bit for 4.6

[remote thunder]

switch is a whole diff animal

[faint mesa]

But when they got it... it was working very nicely

[rough portal]

how long in days will this expedition last again?

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message>

[faint mesa]

That's a long time

I have terrible memory for these things, but I'm not sure we had expeditions this long before

[remote thunder]

normally it's always 6-8 weeks for the original releases, then 1w for the redux

[faint mesa]

Yeah, I had a 6-weeks-rule in my head for some reason... so seven sounded weird

I don't know, probably happened before and I didn't notice

[grim fossil]

Completed the expedition and finally made my little trophy slot.

[winged carbon]

without space stations in the expedition, the only way to increase your suit and spaceship inventory is from the expedition rewards?

[remote thunder]

suit has drop pods on planets

[faint mesa]

Interesting, just to confirm: none of the milestones gives all the glyphs as rewards?

[winged carbon]

ah yeah, but i mean there are no stations where you can use those inventory slot items that increase capacity?

[grim fossil]

Does the one in the anomaly still work?

[faint mesa]

I think you can only use the one in the Anomaly, but don't quote me on that, I haven't tried

[grim fossil]

Or did it go bye bye

Jinx

[winged carbon]

ah thanks, i'll go check that out

[grim fossil]

Gimme cookie @faint mesa

[faint mesa]

🍪

[remote thunder]

ah yeah, good point the anomaly, 1 per system

[remote thunder]

drop pods too

[remote thunder]

not that i've seen

[faint mesa]

That's... unusual

[chilly steeple]

are we able to unlock the scanner room for the freighter for this expedition?

[latent musk]

Yeah you can upgrade the freighter with frgate modules still

[honest ore]

why does the rock say that

that's not what it says when I scan it

[remote thunder]

oh that bug

[balmy void]

[drifting warren]

how do I fix the bug

where the to dream of freedon tells me to go to rondevouz 3

[remote thunder]

you can't

[remote thunder]

this has already been fixed on steam experimental branch, now it's just waiting for the next public patch

[drifting warren]

ok

[honest ore]

robot lifeform milestone

how do

[grim fossil]

Select the milestone, head into your galaxy map and track current mission, it will direct you to a system with a planet that has robotic life forms

[tiny glen]

stuck in permanent warp….

[grim fossil]

If it’s any longer than a min just reload

[neat mica]

Can you do a sentinel ship for the repair a crashed starship

[grim fossil]

Yes it will still count, it is not mandatory to use an interceptor.

[neat mica]

I need the crystals for my ship anyway

Two birds one stone

[grim fossil]

Fair point

[honest ore]

can you turn activated emeril back into normal emeril

[faint mesa]

I'm afraid you can't

[honest ore]

damnit

[faint mesa]

Which is a bit weird, but yeah

[honest ore]

only brought activated

[waxen shuttle]

i'm split between whether I should do the expedition from my normal save and bring stuff with me, or new save and start with nothing

[dusty viper]

they did fix it? i didnt see an update at all

[remote thunder]

on steam experimental

[dusty viper]

oh, dang\

[remote thunder]

now it's just waiting for the next public patch

[cerulean olive]

just bring mats for the hyperdrive types, emeril and such. Bring a AI fragment could help too.
also, cromatics and the usual fixing parts would be usefull. other than that, I found this run easy to do without extras.

[dusty viper]

litterally the only thing stopping me from completing the expedition rn xD is that progress blocker on mission 7

[waxen shuttle]

yeah I'm just thinking if I want to bring stuff from my main save, or do it from nothing like what we all had to do in the (not even that) old days

[dusty viper]

i tend to speedrun the expeditions day one, this one i completed in 3 hours after it dropped lmao

just need to drift away and ill be done

[cerulean olive]

some stuff comes in handy, but it's not necessary. Packing some indium to be able to go to blue systems is great, since you have to go there for a milestone. all the others are kinda useless.

[karmic current]

Any updates about the to dream of freedom step and its bug that softlocks out of getting everything?

[cerulean olive]

coming in the next patch.

[karmic current]

Aye nice

[dusty viper]

@karmic current read above, bk201 talked about it

HG be on the ball with hotfixes

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message>

[karmic current]

Oh nice

Thanks y'all

Not much longer to wait than 🙏

[dusty viper]

if i had to guess based on previous hotfixes it will probably be a tomorrow thing

[cerulean olive]

if you're really impatient, do the expedition again.

[dusty viper]

i dont know nothin tho xD just speculation

[royal jetty]

I need help with the Faintest echo

[karmic current]

Ngl I'd rather wait then start over

[stable onyx]

There's still the inventory expansion station on the anomally.

[cerulean olive]

actually, former fixes took more than a day to get done.

[dusty viper]

this expedition was tedious xD will NOT be repeating

[cerulean olive]

really? I don't think it was that much of a hassle. took a bit longer than usual, but still quite easy.

[dusty viper]

usually i get the expeditions speedran in about 1-2 hours with glitches, this one took 3 almost 4 and i got softlocked

[karmic current]

Right on well thanks for letting me about the coming hot fix I shall return to my rock till then 🙏

[neat mica]

Just threw down with purple boys, I won

Interceptor secured

[cerulean olive]

Took me quite a bit longer than usual, but I got distracted a lot more this run.

[stable onyx]

Got a random encounter with a sentinel ship. Thought it was scripted lol.

[dusty viper]

my thing was it took forever to get the waypoints

everything else was pretty straightforward refiner glitch and run

[cerulean olive]

I only had trouble finding the 5th rendez vous. others were no problem at all.

[summer nest]

Forgot to turn off multiplayer and got to R1. as I land someone shoots eggs and I had some ANGRY green bois to deal with

[dusty viper]

normally i do 2 runs of the expedition, 2 seperate saves, one is a speedrun to see how quickly i can do it with glitches the other is a full playthrough glitchless to experience it propper

[terse dust]

Giving myself a single Emeril is a game changer

[cerulean olive]

I do 2 runs too. One on PS5 and one on Switch.

[terse dust]

Well, probably a few Emeril

...well, you could probably upcycle with just one so

[dusty viper]

my glitched run i gave myself the echo's materials, some basic mats, and some storage augments with a starship AI valve lol

had 50k nanites and infinite cash

[chilly steeple]

is there a workaround for the dream to freedom/sleep objectives being unable to complete if you have already done all other objectives?

[cerulean olive]

storage augs are kinda useless without anyone at the old space stations to let you use them

[dusty viper]

hotfix coming soon #nms-expedition message

[tight merlin]

Hey guys, i just joined the server. Im grinding away at the expedition and I was wondering if any of you had any tips on how to find the 3 robotic lifeforms

[dusty viper]

you can duplicate them and when the mission asks you to upgrade storage you can use them

[faint mesa]

#nms-expedition message

[cerulean olive]

But you don't really need the storage space much. I packed all types of augs for this expedition, but didn't need any of them.

[honest ore]

so for the synthetic life milestone

[dusty viper]

its a nice to have for glitch runs cause you can just dupe full 9999 stacks of everything as you go takes less than 5 min

[honest ore]

it pointed me to a system with two

[royal jetty]

I did that went to the spot multiple time and nothing I think its buged

[honest ore]

how do I find another after I discovered the other two in that one system

it won't point me to another system, just the same one

[tight merlin]

alright, thank you

[cerulean olive]

Nice but not needed. you get almost everything from the rewards you need.

[finite harbor]

How tf do u get nanites in this expedition

[faint mesa]

Wild guess, but perhaps if you warp far enough it will point to a new system (you may follow the expedition path to not get lost or anything)

[tight merlin]

same as in normal

[cobalt wind]

Anybody know how to get the whispering eggs to count towards the milestone?

[cerulean olive]

refine the slimes you get from opening chests. you'll get mould and refine those to clusters.

[faint mesa]

The larval cores you get for one of the milestones do refine into nanites 1:50, it may help

[cerulean olive]

Do those on the starting planet. shoot the eggs, grab the cores and jetpack away.

[tight merlin]

oh, i didnt know you could refine them

[cobalt wind]

I’ve done that it just doesn’t count towards it

[tight merlin]

also you can look for the buildings with the eggs around them

[cerulean olive]

true, but in the starting area, there are tons of them.

[tight merlin]

yes

[faint mesa]

Scanning creatures is tied to two milestones too iirc, so do those and try to scan everything in a planet

Lots of nanites in the upload process... that's how I did

Oh, thank you, I saved the game at that system... might do this as a shortcut 😅

[royal jetty]

What am I supose to do the first time I go to the anomoly?

Amidst the star

[tight merlin]

go in the portal room

and go to the rihgt

right

into that room

and itll give you a recipe

[grim fossil]

Go to 21 on this mappy.

[faint mesa]

On that note... ||seeing Nada like that was... disturbing||

[paper elbow]

Um, what is a child of helios?

[royal jetty]

can I expand my inventory on the anomaly?

[remote thunder]

your suit inventory, yes

[remote thunder]

a space encounter, only use is during the starbirth quest (don't know if there's any milestone in exp13 that uses it)

[paper elbow]

Ok cause i encountered one in the exp

Just making sure

[remote thunder]

if it was a milestone, it probably would be somewhat expected

[royal jetty]

Where/ how?

[remote thunder]

behind of/to the right of where the exosuit research npc would be

Upgrade station/Drop Pod are one time use, unless the player has Exosuit Expansion Unit items.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

need to update that for new stations but anomaly should be the same

[royal jetty]

Ohh you have to aim up I am use to intereacting with the npc lol

[high sun]

Ooh this’ll be my first expedition

[latent musk]

At first this dude broke my immersion a bit with the expedition, but I've come round to really liking that he exists

It makes for an interesting curveball. There's you a Traveller, Travellers have always kind of been the exception to the rules in the NMS universe. But an anomalous Vykeen who somehow survived the end of the universe would make for quite an interesting story. In this setting, while of the warrior race, this Vykeen worked on a mining rig instead of participating in combat. Perhaps he had traits of both Gek (farming and economics), and Korvax (having a secret science project that somehow resonated with the universe-ending event and resulted in him being spared), in addition to the warrior tradition of vykeen

He was alone, with all his comrades snapped, and all enemies of the Vykeen (aside from sentinels) snapped as well, he continued to survive doing what he knew: mining and science. He took charge of the mining frigate he was now alone on, retrofitting it into a mini-frigate home all of his own, and was adrift for the longest time. With no competition with mining, and high-value goods and tech left without owners throughout the galaxy, he slowly gathered enough resources to construct his own stasis device and suspended himself with no end date. That is, until you showed up with your recently reconstructed freighter and drifted near the sector his frigate was in. In response to the signal of your freighter, his home automatically awoke him from his eternal slumber, and elated to see another face, warped his frigate to your freighter to greet you; an interloper who much like him is adrift in a lonely universe

In the context of game and this expedition, with this small bit of lore I just wrote for him, it'd be cool if him and his frigate served as a kind of substitute for the tech merchants who were snapped on the anomaly. With him giving you blueprints for ship/exocraft/exosuit/starship components in exchange for nanites to help with his research

Am glad Gabudon survived 👍

[royal jetty]

what is the comd for a guid on how to find corruptedplanets

[winged carbon]

dumb question, but how do I get to the anomaly in this expedition? can't spawn it from the ship quick menu

[royal jetty]

@winged carbon ||do amidst the star phase 2 mission||

[winged carbon]

ah right, thanks

[tardy jacinth]

Guys, I need help. I can only find 2 out of 3 synthetic creatures. There was only two on one of the planets I was sent to.

[grim fossil]

Having the milestone selected then using the galaxy map to route to current mission should lead you to a new system with robotic fauna

[round pollen]

cool lil tip: any ship built with the iron vulture's wings will be able to hover, as demonstrated in this video by u/DG_Mann on r/NoMansSkyTheGame

[cerulean olive]

And that's a good thing. Non hover ships feel so outdated now.

[median harbor]

never cared to use the nautilon but it's actually pretty cool

only used it for the expedition

[warped abyss]

I'm sorry to ask, I'm sure its searchable but my search is completely borked on mobile atm

Any way to get more surge batteries? No bp at the anomaly

On ps5

Tysm!

[neat mica]

Dupe

Portable refiner glitch go brr

[warped abyss]

Alas, 0 atm

[neat mica]

Damn

[warped abyss]

Didn't die just spent them like I could get more lol

And still need em for other non tower milestones

[neat mica]

Well good luck getting more ig

[warped abyss]

Mm its for the "find waypoints" milestone maybe I can cheese this a bit with some luck and an economy scanner

I only have 2 left

[gloomy harness]

Honestly quick suggestions

Hylain hearts > nanites
Ai core > money
Ship, suit, gun inv upgrade modules
Hypnotic eye
Atlantedium
Suit tech upgrades (you can call in your normal ship and gun with nanites)

You may also want alien structure cartography maps

Anomaly detectors are helpful if you want to get a sentinel ship along with the heart to power it

Two mission people are getting stuck on are a Height mission (bring jet packs modules) and robot creatures (maybe you could bring eggs idk)

[sweet dirge]

Im having a major issues getting to 1600u for the height thing

[solemn bane]

I feel like if you save it for last-ish it'll kinda just happen

[gloomy harness]

Low grav planet or tall mountains

[gloomy harness]

Or try low grav base method

Place a base beacon and as the camera is coming back down from space go into build mode > free camera > place landing pad mid air

[sweet dirge]

oh no i found bases i can use from others

just need to turn on multie to see them
