[remote thunder]

someone said earlier that all rendez vous planets are hive worlds, meaning there will be baby worms there

[magic hazel]

FR THO it was terrifying cuz you never knew if they were close

[proper light]

Where does robitc animals spawn? what kind of planets?

[topaz chasm]

I failed one of the expedtions because it was so boring and long. cant rememebr which one though lol

[hasty sequoia]

ohh thank you bk as always, ur a life saver🌷

[finite harbor]

Ik some exotics have them

[remote thunder]

only planets in uncharted systems, and only planets that don't have rusted metal in resource list

[finite harbor]

The last expedition had too much good shit

[topaz chasm]

Autophage

[hasty sequoia]

i found mine on blue systems, but apparently red systems have them too

[ashen shore]

Loot free shit woooo

[topaz chasm]

yea star runner is a sick ship

[finite harbor]

I couldn't skip the last expedition cause like all that loot was fire

[magic hazel]

anyone know?

[finite harbor]

This one is kinda ehhh

Only good thing is new ship and frigate imo

[remote thunder]

@proper light that said, if you select the mission in the Log tab, then open galaxy map and select current destination, it should take you to a suitable system

[topaz chasm]

@ashen shore Dm me so we can share friend codes

[remote thunder]

did you start from existing save? then yes

[hasty sequoia]

bk do u know?

ah

voila

[magic hazel]

ah ok thank you

i miss having my frigate with me in every system like a pet 😔

[ashen shore]

Old save at the bottom and new save on the top

[magic hazel]

..what?

[ashen shore]

Sorry

[magic hazel]

my save didnt duplicate-

[finite harbor]

got around 59 hours on my main save ez

[topaz chasm]

FOOD IS HERE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[magic hazel]

nono im just confused ur good

[hasty sequoia]

how do i make the baby worms appear if i'm next to one of their nest things

do i have to go closer lol

[full bane]

How do you get the 1600 elevation thing in phase 2

[magic hazel]

ye i learned that the hard way-

[hasty sequoia]

LOL okay tyty

[magic hazel]

lolll

[hasty sequoia]

find a very very high mountain lol, if u click on the milestone it'll tell u how high u currently are

[remote thunder]

players have mentioned being able to complete it in rendezvous 2 and rendezvous 3 planets

rendezvous 3 location apparently is itself high enough

[magic hazel]

and at randevue 2 theres a mountain with stairs that people made to help lol

[dense rune]

How are they intending on us most efficiently getting back to the expedition route after going through the portal

[magic hazel]

it… brings you back right?

[dense rune]

Did it? Alright. I seem far away now

[remote thunder]

teleporters are still accessible

[dense rune]

Alright cool

[magic hazel]

oh idk then

[remote thunder]

after completing p1m6, can use base computers as bookmarks and teleporter endpoints as well

[magic hazel]

ye i was thinking of the among the stars one lol

[dense rune]

Yeah I just pulled into a space station and used the teleporter there.

They say there are no dumb questions but I came here to challenge that 😂

[magic hazel]

loll

[dense rune]

Been enjoying this expedition more than some of the other recent ones

[magic hazel]

this is my first one lol

i didnt know what to expect

let alone not having my stuff

[dense rune]

Oh yeah.

Typically people have done expedition 1 and can claim the golden vector ship pretty early in an expedition, and there are other bases where people leave supplies and stuff. This one obviously removes all that by keeping you lonely

[hasty sequoia]

how do i do the make ur own food milestone, i have wheat but i dont understand what "creat yeast from bacterial activity in faecium" means bc none of the wildlife r giving me their damn shit

[cerulean thorn]

So, is there any hints when you jump around blue systems looking for robot lifeforms that the planets have t hem?

[remote thunder]

nut process faecium to get wild yeast

[remote thunder]

if you select the mission in the Log tab, then open galaxy map and select current destination, it should take you to a suitable system e.g. <#nms-questions message>

[visual crest]

is the phase 4 reward claimable on my other saves?

[remote thunder]

all phase rewards are, as well as final expedition reward. do note that there's a bug in non-steam builds (i think neither gog or gamepass pc hasn't got 4.71.1 yet), that has been fixed on steam builds, that reads as follows:
https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/05/adrift-4-71-1/

Fixed an issue that prevented players from claiming the Ship of the Damned if they had permanently declined the freighter rewarded by an earlier milestone in the Adrift expedition.

[cerulean thorn]

Is this pretty rare or?

I can't find any such systems within a pretty large range

[visual crest]

i see... i know this is a dumb question but if i claim the freight in the adrift save, does it mean im not able to get it on my other save?

[remote thunder]

do you have a current mission destination selectable in the galaxy map?

[full bane]

Thanks for the help everyone

[arctic epoch]

do you mean the frigate?

[visual crest]

ah, yes..

[remote thunder]

no. it means that if you declined claiming it in expedition save, it would not let you claim it in other saves under the same account, even the primary save you started expedition run from if that was the case

[cerulean thorn]

That creates a green line?

[remote thunder]

yep

[cerulean thorn]

the target system of the green line (that gets dotted outside range) does not show this icon

but I'll go there and check it out

[arctic epoch]

you can claime it on multiple saves

[tribal nova]

I get expiration awards in my main save file right

[remote thunder]

do you remember where, in which system you first selected that milestone? or where the game auto selected it for you? preferably, it'd be easier if you did remember, and even better if you had visited that system's space station

[wet grove]

Anyone else having an issue with to dream of stars, drift thru time and space, all I need to do is pulse but it’s not doing anything

[visual crest]

thank you for answering, bk and mysterial

[remote thunder]

do you have options/network/multiplayer enabled, and/or are there other players in that system?

[arctic epoch]

yes

[cerulean thorn]

Nope

[wet grove]

Yes enabled and there are other players in the system

[remote thunder]

i'd suggest disabling multiplayer, landing in the station, save+return to main menu, load save again, then try again

[wet grove]

Ok I’ll give that a shot, thanks

[empty gate]

What equipment should I bring with me on expedition?

[cerulean thorn]

I didn't bring anything, had zero problems

Just have the underwater and the robot life forms left

[hasty sequoia]

should I complete the expedition fully and collect all rewards and then go to the exp terminal, or should i just complete it but not return to a normal save so I can transfer my stuff

[remote thunder]

ship and MT with decent tech build; basic mats like o2, cmetal, uranium, pyrite; atlantideum; something to refine for nanites; something to sell for units; activated copper; a solar mirror;

[hasty sequoia]

I'm just worried that it will say something stupid like I have to be on an expedition or something idk. And then it might not let me get my stuff (im paranoid lol)

[remote thunder]

when you finish, you'll be given access to dropping items into stash, but you need to have the ship and MT you'll want to be able to synth clone after you're back in primary (if any)

[south ridge]

Anyone have any ideas how to activate the portal when doing the mission find synthetic lifeforms?

[empty gate]

So to bring a ship I just have to have it as my current ship when I go into expedition right, and it won’t get rid of the ship I bring correct

[remote thunder]

correct; you'll just need nanites to claim that gear after you're in expedition and get access to the anomaly (after first warp)

to take the items out from the stash, you don't need to pay anything though

[remote thunder]

just checking: portal, or teleporter?

[south ridge]

It says the glyphs are unavailable tho i cant activate the portal

Portal byw

[remote thunder]

i haven't got to that milestone yet, but i'm not aware of a portal being required

[south ridge]

Btw

I didnt think there was but there was a mission marker here so me and a buddy went there

But cant open it

[remote thunder]

wdym, you can't charge all the glyphs on the glyph wheel to 100%?

[south ridge]

No weve done that

Then got the series of glyphs but cant input them because it says unavailable

[remote thunder]

what mission is this? can you post a screenshot of the Log tab with it selected?

[remote thunder]

can you post a screenshot of that?

[remote thunder]

a bit weird that portals are disabled, i didn't know that was the case

[remote thunder]

uh, this mission definitely doesn't require a portal

[south ridge]

No clue whats going on

Thats what i thought

[arctic epoch]

just scan one more lifeform

[remote thunder]

and it's saying that because you don't have any glyphs unlocked

[south ridge]

Theres only 2 on this planet and all others arent viable

[rough orchid]

In my playthrough there was one portal used in the whole thing, and it doesn't require glyphs.

[south ridge]

I have them all powered up

[remote thunder]

that's not the same as having learned the glyphs

[south ridge]

The mission marker is here tho im confused

[remote thunder]

i've never been to a portal that didn't require me to have learned at least 1 glyph to be able to dial at least 1 address

[remote thunder]

ok i see; forget that for now; is this planet one that has robo fauna?

[south ridge]

How do i learn a glyph then? Never had to do that

[rough orchid]

I don't want to put spoilers for the expedition in the channel, but you go through a portal using another item to power it up.

[arctic epoch]

go to another planet

[remote thunder]

exactly

move on

[south ridge]

The other planets arent viable

[boreal grotto]

Is the free freighter still possible during adrift?

[pliant gyro]

May need to hit another system. I did.

[remote thunder]

a different system

[hasty sequoia]

yeah? wdym still possible

[remote thunder]

another uncharted system that is

[boreal grotto]

due to the "dead" universe does the rescue event still trigger

[south ridge]

Is it only “empty” planets or can they be called something different?

[remote thunder]

@south ridge look at the hud mission hint lower right of the hud, it will tell you if the system has a suitable planet or not, without even landing

[south ridge]

Because i went around 30+ systems and nothing

[hasty sequoia]

ohh right sorry my response sounded rude my b, u get a free freighter when u complete the derelict freighter exploration milestone🌷

[boreal grotto]

o ok tyvm. didnt take it as rude ur good

[cerulean thorn]

Looking for robot fauna? I can't find it either

[remote thunder]

robo fauna only spawns in uncharted systems, ignore planets with rusted metal on resource list

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[cerulean thorn]

uncharted? As in nobody has ever explored it?

[remote thunder]

lower left on that img

[boreal grotto]

isnt there a way to mark which systems have the robo fauna?

[remote thunder]

no race icon on it

[remote thunder]

if mission is selected in Log tab, galaxy map should mark a suitable system <#nms-questions message>

[marble summit]

I was trying to do the phase 4 derelict freighter objective but it didn't seem to count. is there more to this than just reaching the final terminal and getting a bulkhead or w/e

[hasty sequoia]

if its for personal memory u can add the planet that has it to your planet wonders and name it robo fauna or something

[hasty sequoia]

i had to complete all 3 terminals, then leave

[tepid grove]

How's everyone's expedition going?

[cerulean thorn]

For me it sends me to random systems

[remote thunder]

did you get crews manifest, captains log?

[rough orchid]

I found two planets with synthetic life, and each one only had 2 fauna. 😑

[cerulean thorn]

but not uncharted

[hasty sequoia]

yep, but that means another planet in the same system will most likely have another 2 faunas, it was the same for me

[remote thunder]

there will never be more than 2 robo species per planet

[marble summit]

I hit all 3 terminals and left with 2 logs in my bag

[remote thunder]

visited all optional rooms as well?

[tribal nova]

How did u guys find carbon for the hyper drive

I can only fine condense

[remote thunder]

refine condensed carbon down to carbon

[marble summit]

I went thriough 3 times and even scanned every room to make sure I hit every tablet sitting around

I don't think I could have missed any doors but I've also never done a derelict frighter before

[hasty sequoia]

i wonder, do u have the milestone pinned? i'm sure that shouldn't affect it but just in case🥴

[rough orchid]

It was my first time on a derelict freighter too. I felt lost on there for like 15 minutes.

[hasty sequoia]

should I store my ship and MT modules before transferring?

[cerulean thorn]

is it only ever one planet in a system with robot fauna?

[wary compass]

Ghost ship jumpscare

[remote thunder]

before finishing?

you only have like 8 tech slots, so can't really bring much

[remote thunder]

not necessarily

[cerulean thorn]

And rusted metal planets are no go?

[hasty sequoia]

no, the system i found had 2 planets with robo fauna

[cerulean thorn]

only way you found it was to land on each and check?

[cinder jacinth]

This might be a really stupid question, how the hell do I use my multi-tool or ship expansion mods if space stations dont work?

[hasty sequoia]

yeah but thats bc i got lucky and saw a bunch of people on the planets and assumed thats where the robo fauna was lol

[cerulean thorn]

They have an UI that does it auto when you get the rewards

[cinder jacinth]

Yeah, I cancelled them at the time as I wanted to save them for my own weapon and ship I;d copied over

[remote thunder]

correct, those won't ever have fauna

[hasty sequoia]

I just went to a blue system that was uncharted (meaning theres no dats available at all, not even dominant species on the galaxy map) and found 2 planets with robo fauna

[remote thunder]

basically, if there's still a milestone left to claim that also has inventory upgrades of the same type you have stored, you should be given the opportunity to apply all of them

[cinder jacinth]

fingers crossed will try again tomorrow

[wary compass]

I am going way off the beaten path to find planets with unscanned lifeforms

[cinder jacinth]

👍🏼

[wary compass]

Has anyone found any areas or spots with the word goober in them?

[remote thunder]

just be sure to have visited the station of the last rendezvous system you were in, so you can easily return back

[wary compass]

I always visit stations

so yeah, I am settled

besides, it is not like I can't make more warp cells anyway

[cerulean thorn]

is it possible to scan sand worms? do they count as fauna?

[remote thunder]

no, they don't count as fauna

[wary compass]

I scanned one but it does not count I think

[cinder jacinth]

I thought they were unscannable

[wary compass]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

SOMEONE AHD THE SAME IDEA?!

[remote thunder]

they can be "scanned"

basically, just aim at the hit point, no need to hold down scan

[cinder jacinth]

I tried and failed and asked the internet and the internet said no lol

[cerulean thorn]

Yeah it's not so I have to find the other fauna

[wary compass]

Ok there is one un-visited planet

[cinder jacinth]

But yeah they dont count as any fauna

[cerulean thorn]

"common, ground, always active" cool, why is it nowhere

[cinder jacinth]

🤣

[wary compass]

Does any of the randevous points need any special warp drives?

I am calling this one Snowy Goober and everything on it will be called goober. No one is stopping me.

[boreal violet]

Quick Q... on xbox if I want to be able to make a custom version of the new ship do I have to do the expedition 3 times (scrapping for the parts)

[wary compass]

Oh this is why no one bothered...

[cinder jacinth]

hahaha have fun

[lusty slate]

That's a lot of plants to name...

[remote thunder]

no; if you started from existing save, get the ship in expedition save, equip it; goto anomaly with mp disabled, return to primary; synth clone the ship, extract customization module, return to expedition save. return to primary again, synth clone it again. and so on.

[wary compass]

Ok I am going even further than that

[tribal nova]

How do I get items from the expedition save to the primary save

[wary compass]

Finally found a system, First contact

time to goober-ise it

[remote thunder]

did you claim all milestones, phase and final rewards?

[olive thorn]

So for charting waypoints? Do I just find buildings?

[remote thunder]

then the game should be telling you what to do

[remote thunder]

pretty much, in any way you can, e.g. flying with ship and quick scanning, exocraft radar tech

[tribal nova]

I just finished phase one

[olive thorn]

Literally as long as I create a point to something it counts?

[wary compass]

I like this planet

An entire system to myself to name

[remote thunder]

then you can't place anything in there, not now

[remote thunder]

interact with these

[tribal nova]

Not tell I finish the expedition?

[olive thorn]

Literally just did and it didn’t count

[remote thunder]

right

[boreal violet]

What is synth clone sorry?

[remote thunder]

will only count the first time you interact with them

[olive thorn]

Yeah it the thing changed from chart and save to just save so I know it was my first time interacting with it

[remote thunder]

basically, you'll have something like this; synthesize/clone the ship you had equipped when you returned to primary

[boreal violet]

Is it too late if I finalised the expedition save?

[hasty sequoia]

Am I able to move to a whole different save, and then transfer my inventory to this current save? or is that not possible

[remote thunder]

if you already finished, and claimed all milestones etc, i'm not sure if you can

[remote thunder]

can you clarify/elaborate please?

[hasty sequoia]

So I have another "main story" save, separate from this expedition save (which is now normal) , is it possible to go to my "main story" save and transfer my inventory items to this "adrift" save?

[remote thunder]

thanks; with the help of another player, yes

[hasty sequoia]

ohh I see i see, thanks🙈

[olive thorn]

How much of a crashed ship do I have to repair for it to count for the milestone

[remote thunder]

i've not gotten to that part yet, but i assume that at the very least launch thruster+pulse engine, maybe the other base techs too

[olive thorn]

Can confirm you just repair launch thruster and pulse engine (though for me the launch thrusters weren’t damaged

[remote thunder]

gotcha, thanks

[boreal violet]

@remote thunder when you do an expedition a 2nd time do you know if it allows you to collect a ship again on a main save where you already collected prizes from the first run?

[remote thunder]

can only claim the same expedition reward once per save

i.e. from the quicksilver shop

[boreal violet]

Hmm so technically without a glitch you cannot make a custom version of the new ship

[remote thunder]

also, you cannot use the same save to run the same expedition again

so iow, you'd have to use the return to primary shortcut multiple times, while still running expedition

[boreal violet]

Yeah I was going to do a new one, claim ship on main save, scrap it for a part then repeat with new save but sounds like I cant

[remote thunder]

well, you'd need to convert to normal, then another player to hold the part while you went and loaded your main save to get the two parts (or even all 3) from them

[boreal violet]

Ah that's a good idea tnx

[remote thunder]

wait

even better

hold on

[boreal violet]

I didn't know you could give ship parts

[remote thunder]

yeah you can. suggestion: make a new creative save for example, unlock anomaly; start expedition run, get the ship, return to primary+synth clone+scrap it 3 times for the 3 parts, then end expedition, have friend hold 3 parts, load main save, join friend get parts

[boreal violet]

Tnx

[proper light]

Whats the easiest way to find ruins? 10 planets and nothin so far

[tepid grove]

For Nameless History do I tell it to scan for ruins

[remote thunder]

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

[remote thunder]

i found a couple by just flying around looking for other stuff/doing other objectives, just make sure you're not exploring uncharted systems

[tepid grove]

Im on a planet with non one sec

[remote thunder]

i'm not sure because i haven't got to this milestone yet

does it need to be surface ruins? because if not, you could use nautilon to scan for sunken ruins

[tepid grove]

Probably have to scan for ruins now that i think of it

[boreal violet]

During the expedition every time you use the signal booster if you have the expedition requirement pinned the 1st option when using the booster will be the choice you need

[remote thunder]

good to know

only used signal booster once so far, for the holo terminus

[boreal violet]

It changes each time when uou do different parts of the expedition

[olive thorn]

Honestly I need to play with someone else cause otherwise this will take me way longer than it should

[remote thunder]

just take it easy, try to enjoy the journey

[boreal violet]

For the transmission tower requirement the signal booster will say:
Scan for transmitters (right)
Or
Locate nearby structures (wrong)

[remote thunder]

yeah, i tried 2) first just to see what it would do

[wary compass]

Meteor shower, nice

[boreal violet]

That first option will change depending on what's pinned

Hope that helps anyone

[frigid latch]

Phase 2 part 2 amongst the Stars go beyond doesn't pop after I trigger the space anomaly and wander around on board. What am I missing?

[remote thunder]

go in the teleporter room

that should be close enough

[frigid latch]

@remote thunder The one off to the right of the main teleporter?

[remote thunder]

yeah, the terminal prime backroom is where you need to get to

[lusty zephyr]

How do u do a still small voice

[frigid latch]

@remote thunder Right, I got that and the prompt to build the mind ark. Considering the rest of the items in this part of the expedition I thought it was a major jump in difficulty considering. So I actually need to craft the thing?

[remote thunder]

drop on a planet, during night time, look at the sky for 60s iirc

[lusty zephyr]

Oh so has to be nighttime lovely

[remote thunder]

yeah, you'll need to craft mind ark to progress the milestone

[lusty zephyr]

Is the thing supposed to count to 60 ?

[frigid latch]

@remote thunder any advice on where to go? The expedition information still only says "in space summon the space anomaly" That's it. I would have thought it would have at least updated to say something different

[boreal violet]

Yes stand still

[remote thunder]

i don't think so, just stare at the sky for a bit

[lusty zephyr]

Ok it started

[remote thunder]

just leave the anomaly

[frigid latch]

@remote thunder I have several times

[remote thunder]

hmm, i can login and check, but pretty sure i had an updated hint after i unlocked mind ark; what's the mission you have selected in the Log tab atm?

[pure geyser]

When spawning, where the hell do I get copper from? Unlucky spawn just?

[frigid latch]

@remote thunder I've flipped between expedition 13 adrift under primary, under secondary I've tried amidst the stars which says in space some of the space anomaly, and of course I have craft of mind ark ark under secondary. I tried selecting each one

[remote thunder]

here's the hint i've got atm

[remote thunder]

just need to keep walking till one comes into visor range, yeah

[cloud grotto]

Does the quicksilver I've earned on the expedition carry over to my main save?

[remote thunder]

if you started expedition run from an existing save, yes

[arctic epoch]

I just learned you can spend it and have the Items on your main save.

[topaz kettle]

does anyone know how to do the "The Faintest Echo" mission from the new adrif content stuff?

actually nvm i was finally able to figure it out

[wary compass]

There we go, system gooberised.

[remote thunder]

you got a signal booster and surge battery x5 from previous milestones. deploy a signal booster using your build menu, interact with it and select search for transmitters; follow mission hints

[topaz kettle]

thank you though

i used all my surge batteries on search for buildings instead of search for transmitters

so thats my mistake

one thing I dont understand though, in the adrift stuff it keeps telling me to upgrade my ship and my multi tool at the "space station" but every space station i go to theres no console or anything to upgrade that stuff

[remote thunder]

dont worry, just the hint that wasn't updated to match expedition 13 context

[topaz kettle]

okay okay, thank you

[wary compass]

Is stiume a blue star system?

[wary compass]

Is this blue? Cuz it seems like purple to me.

Oh wait, there it is

I see the B

Thanks

[chilly latch]

This expedition made me feel actually lonely tbh

[cerulean thorn]

so, I'm about to leave the expedition. Do I need to strip all S class tech modules i want from exosuit, weapon AND the new ship?

[cerulean thorn]

look for one without a race icon (gek, vy'ken, korvax) and you will find one. The color doesn't matter

[cerulean thorn]

because there's a cute atlas figurine etc in there, and I don't want to lose it 😦

[topaz kettle]

how do I use the storage aumentations that I have?

theyre just sitting here using a slot and im confused

[cerulean thorn]

in the expedition you can't, but you can bring them to your main save and use them there 🙂

[topaz kettle]

how do I switch from expedition to main save?

because i started with this adrift thing in this new save i made

and i saw there was a way to switch

[cerulean thorn]

at the anomaly, the expedition desk. Although I think it only lets you swap between the main game save you started the expedition in and the expedition. Not "any" main game save

Haven't tried thoug, I just finished the expedition

[topaz kettle]

let me try in a sec

thank you for the help though

where is the expedition desk?

[remote thunder]

that said, if you don't accidentally back out of such a prompt when you claim the reward, it will let you apply them there; if you still have a milestone further into exp progress you can apply all of them then

[remote thunder]

leftof quicksilver shop

[lusty zephyr]

If i scrap the iron vulture can i grab a new one or is it gone for good?

[sly gate]

So I've beaten the expedition but what's the deal with the new Cursed Frigates, they kind of just showed up randomly twice during the expedition ans then I got it

[remote thunder]

you can only claim a expedition reward once per save

[cobalt slate]

Does the ship from cleaning out the derelict in the expedition make it so you can't get your free frigate later?

[remote thunder]

to my knowledge, we'll only get the one

[lusty zephyr]

Weird someone said u can multiple times

[remote thunder]

derelict freighter has nothing to do with free freighter or freighter rescue battles

[lusty zephyr]

So whats the point of it scrapped if u cant get all the parts

[remote thunder]

what they were talking about is returning to primary and back again to expedition and synth and scrap the same ship multiple times

[cobalt slate]

Ok. I didn't want to accept the c class frigate from the reward if I couldn't get a free s one when I find one

[remote thunder]

frigate != freighter

[shy dagger]

hey, i have a problem with the ship repair

[lusty zephyr]

Oh, i cant go back to my expedition tio once completed right?

[shy dagger]

theres basicly this ship that has disappeared and i gotta create something

i did it, but now i cant interact with the stuff anymore

[remote thunder]

if you complete and finish, you can't return and back again multiple times anymore

[lusty zephyr]

Well that sucks

Oh well

[remote thunder]

can you be a little more specific, what do you mean that "has dissapeared"

[remote thunder]

just make a new save on the side,get another player to hold the parts once you get them

[shy dagger]

like theres no ship, i interacted with a thing that said that there was a pilot inside and it would appear and disappear

and now everytime i try to use the beacon to find another ship it leads me here again

[remote thunder]

the beacon? you mean the signal booster?

[shy dagger]

the thing that helps you find ships

[lusty zephyr]

Im on xbox with no subscription so cant , i dont really care tbh

[shy dagger]

the booster yeah

[remote thunder]

save+reload, fly away to another planet, use signal booster again

[dreamy sluice]

how do i use them in the expedition?

i canceled when i first got them and cant figure out how to use them now

[lusty zephyr]

Tbh idk if ill do a expedition again cuz some of those missions are just too annoying

[dense rune]

The "it's alive" milestone seems a little weird

Never updates when I'm in a blue system and if I use the galaxy map it takes me to random yellow systems

[remote thunder]

need to get another milestone that gives you the same reward type, then apply them all - if you don't have any more of those, no way to use them

[remote thunder]

sounds bugged to me

restart game

be playing solo

[dense rune]

Always am, but I will restart and see what happens

[marsh brook]

Question.. I just finished one of the quests that gives starship upgrade slots and messed up by right clicked... It kicked me from the upgrade menu.. How do I get back in to apply them to the ship?

[dense rune]

Didn't fix the initial problem but I just went to a random blue system that was dissonant and it fixed itself

[dense rune]

bk answers this a few questions up

"need to get another milestone that gives you the same reward type, then apply them all - if you don't have any more of those, no way to use them"

[marsh brook]

That's freaking dumb.

Insanely bad game design where all you have ot do is misclick and it screws you out of a reward

[swift anchor]

so

i need deuterium to fix my ships launch engine but to make that i need tritium, which i could get by flying into space and destroying asteroids but i cant bc i need my launch engine to work so uh

[dense rune]

i think you can make it with dihydrogen and silicate

[marsh brook]

yeah, silicate powder and dihydrogen

[swift anchor]

OHHH thanks

thought i was trapped lmao

[dense rune]

sounds like they achieved their goal lol

[terse dust]

This is nuts. I managed to fail to stand still and stare at the sky three times now

[outer schooner]

As did I.

[terse dust]

Okay, four. Landed and a storm was happening.

Did not think this would be the hardest milestone

[bold atlas]

okay sooo... which blue star systems have confirmed roboting fauna?

[terse dust]

Apparently the mission has a goal on the star map

[remote thunder]

the game leads you to the first

[bold atlas]

o

[terse dust]

From where?

[remote thunder]

type !faq-mechafauna in #bot-spam

[remote thunder]

e.g.

[terse dust]

Ah, I thought you meant there was a specific one it lead you to.

[remote thunder]

not the same one for all players no

[terse dust]

Would it not be the same per system?

[dense rune]

yeah I'm not getting that and it's messing me up. On a (water) planet where the mission says there is life, but no icons on screen and targeting scanner says unavailable

[remote thunder]

if two players went to the same system, yes, it would; check this post <#nms-expedition message> for example

if looking for robo fauna i mean

[terse dust]

Nah I figured as much, since it was pathfinding from one system to the next :p

There's a system 213 LY away from Warazu, which is one of the Rendezvous I think

[remote thunder]

what other missions do you have on your Log tab?

[dense rune]

only one of note is distressed sentinel interceptor

other two are exploration guide and exosuit upgrades

[bold atlas]

the name. what is its name

[remote thunder]

that's most likely going to be the one, but also dump the exosuit upgrades

[dense rune]

ok cool thanks man

[terse dust]

Nashida XVIII

[remote thunder]

here's another <#nms-expedition message>, @bold atlas

[wary compass]

Why do I keep getting notified that a player is attacking me in space?

Even though they are just going about their business?

[remote thunder]

just a minor bug

[bold atlas]

I am at Randevouz 2 and very sleep deprived.

[wary compass]

I need to find gold but none of the asteroids I am destroying is yielding any. My luck is just so bad

[remote thunder]

alt: drop on a planet with water, dive, look for armored clams, refine living pearl to gold

[terse dust]

Some planets just have gold deposits too, right?

[pliant skiff]

airless/dead planets. check the discoveries tab or scan planets from space, land, find deposit, mine with terrain thingy

[remote thunder]

yeah, if they have gold in resource list

airless/dead will have rusted metal, not gold

that said, some cave minerals, regardless of planet biome, can have gold, silver, even platinum

[terse dust]

And cobalt, which you might need to fix your gun anyway

[pliant skiff]

ah right, there is a planet type that's like to have gold though, exotic/glitched mb?

[remote thunder]

marrow bulb refines to sodium

[remote thunder]

gold is the weird/glitch biome mineral, yep

[terse dust]

Hot take but we NEED to have a better way of giving directions on the Galactic Map.

I've been looking for a solid three minutes minimum and I still haven't found the planet I'm lookin for

[faint mesa]

Good god, I managed to die twice in one of those mountainous rendezvous planets...

Can't remember last time I died in this game

[terse dust]

Like I give up. I'm not digging through a bunch of dots in a 3D plane for five minutes hoping I can find the needle in that haystack

I dunno if we can activate the portals, but even then it's a bandaid on a very visibly cumbersome system

Course I dunno how you'd fix it.

Mostly I guess just get the person to do better taking screenshots.

[sonic shale]

a text search is literally never a bad thing to add to a ui

[terse dust]

It might be a bit tough to do, but it'd certainly help.

[dusky fiber]

Whats the lore on this new expedition?

[terse dust]

Honestly, options to filter by distance too.

I know this is 95 LY away, but it's incredibly awkward to gauge that as-is

#nms-expedition message
This one posted earlier.

[faint mesa]

I haven't finished yet, so I don't have the full picture... but the gist of it is you are completely alone, ||with very subtle signs of presence from other realities... ||

[dusky fiber]

Interesting, gonna have to play when I have the time.

[humble bramble]

Oh I think I went there

[lusty slate]

I don't have the exped yet (Switch), but I noticed the Withering Manuscript is a milestone reward. Anyone try to send that back to main when they finished? Did it let you?

If not, I'll test it myself...

[faint mesa]

Like... each planet has two robot animals? Or two in total?

[humble bramble]

There were two planets I landed on with robot animals

So

4 in total

Each planet has 2

[faint mesa]

Oh, so you cover the milestone in one system

[terse dust]

I'm sure I'll have a blast once I'm done spending ten straight minutes digging through this rancid haystack.

[humble bramble]

Yeah

[faint mesa]

That will help greatly, thanks 😅

[humble bramble]

I have an idea

[faint mesa]

I usually don't speedrun expeditions, but the amount of time I lost trying to find an interceptor on this one... it was embarassing

I'm usually done before 5h... I'm looking at 7 or so on Adrift

[humble bramble]

If I load the expedition save after I finished can expedition people join me still

[humble bramble]

I finished it in under 4 hours

3:59

[faint mesa]

Yep, I made way too many terrible choices I'm afraid

[dim barn]

I finished this one faster than I did others

There is little to no combat in this one, first time through, I didnt bother with many upgrades on my tool or ship at all, and was fine

[faint mesa]

I'm at 4h30 with... 2 and a half phases to go? Something like that

[dim barn]

Can get all the eggs and worm kills fast on the first world, with that low gravity

Can yoink them, and be gone with just the little boltcaster

Im workin on a base on the start planet now, will be solid when I start on it again

I got hotspots for mag ferrits, cursed dust, and oxy, and 10 moulds

[dusky fiber]

Can you use the portals to go to different universes?

[dim barn]

Although the moulds are meh, with the worms and eggs all over, faster to refine those, just not as safe

Not sure how feasible it is, or if you can even get the runes to open the portals

[faint mesa]

Yep, I'd love to have realized killing the worms was a milestone... did on the planet with mountains, it cost me dearly 😅

[heady pilot]

No. Portals only work within each galaxy, you cannot move between galaxies via portal.

[mint geyser]

I'm having trouble finding synthetic creatures for It's Alive. I've checked three empty worlds in blue systems like it says, but haven't found anything yet.

[humble bramble]

I found a system with 2 planets with robot fauna

[dim barn]

Make sure you have that mission selected, and jsut keep popping to empty systems, they dont need to be blue

[dusky fiber]

Interesting, so only galactic centre then?

[dim barn]

They can be any color sun, just needs to be unexplored

[terse dust]

I'm just gonna scream.

[dim barn]

Red systems tend to uninhabited more than the others

[mint geyser]

Wait, it needs to have an empty world and be unexplored?

[dim barn]

I normally look for those on the map, easier to find them

Yeah

[terse dust]

I spent five goddamn minutes straight digging through this godforsaken map. I come out of it and suddenly I have a four-star wanted level for no reason.

[dim barn]

No factions

[heady pilot]

Mostly through galactic core though ||the end of the main story will give you a one time opportuity to skip to the next galaxy of a type you want. So if you want to go to a lush galaxy the end of the main story will skip you to galaxy 10 so you don't have to cross 9 galaxies.||

[dim barn]

Not abandoned, that doesnt count, needs to be unexplored

[tribal nova]

Do I get units made from the expedition on my main save?

[terse dust]

Yeah

[dim barn]

In my normal game I spent hours and hours finding those critters, I know where to look, lol

[heady pilot]

Also featured bases on the Anomaly can be in other galaxies so you can go to one of them and if they are in another galaxy you can stay there...but mostly just Eissentam and Euclid...not a huge amount of options from featured bases.

[terse dust]

Also yeah that tooltip that says to look for blue stars feels unhelpful.

[lusty slate]

They do occassionally have others, but not often.

[dim barn]

Not sure why it specifed blue, but its fast to search

Just keep system hopping with that mission up, will tell you if there is a planet detected

[lusty slate]

(Not that I make a habit of going to featured, since I'd like my Switch to not catch fire...)

[terse dust]

This still seems like the most backwards-ass mission.

[dim barn]

Mecha pets are awesome though

[terse dust]

Yeah, and when I'm not warping through seven different systems to find none of them I appreciate them much more

[dim barn]

I like these missions, teaches some more of the lesser known aspects of the game

[terse dust]

Except it hasn't taught me anything. It taught me that I should go to blue stars, and it was wrong.

[tribal nova]

Where to find atlantideum

[terse dust]

The purple crystals on dissonant planets

The systems with dissonant planets are marked as dissonant on the galaxy map, like water.

[tribal nova]

Are there any in the system where rendovue one is

[dim barn]

Nope

[terse dust]

Finally found a system that tested positive.

Christ I had to warp seven or eight times just to find one. I can't imagine if I wasn't on my SSD.

[charred cargo]

can you get a freighter in the new expedition?

[terse dust]

Super late, yeah

[dim barn]

Yeah, you get one along the way

[celest trench]

anyone want to do the expedition together ?

[terse dust]

Like fourth or fifth chapter.

[charred cargo]

had one spawn but no crew so cant claim or buy

[mint geyser]

Yes, purchase a freighter beacon from any station and salvage it. Completing that milestone gives you one.

[terse dust]

Would be way easier if you sent yourself one.

[dim barn]

yeah, jsut need to full clear a derelict

[terse dust]

Can you buy freighter beacons on the stations?

[dim barn]

Yup

a bit over a million

[terse dust]

They modified it for the expedition ig

[mint geyser]

I did it before I even got to rendezvous 1.

[dim barn]

Yeah, lol

[terse dust]

Like the Silicate Powder recipe

[mint geyser]

The missions don't have to be done in any particular order.

[dim barn]

I had a ton of the exped done before I left the first system

[terse dust]

Quick, someone do the expedition backwards

[mint geyser]

Hard to do when the rendezvous don't all show up.

[terse dust]

Then you can't highlight rendezvous 2 until 1 is done?

[unique glen]

I’m stocking up for the expedition. Is there a pin somewhere (I couldn’t find) with a list of stuff I should send myself in the Expedition Terminus that I’ll need for sure before I start?

[terse dust]

No real pin, no.

[unique glen]

Should I bring stuff to sell for money? I heard there’s no “trading.”

[terse dust]

There's kiosks

[dim barn]

If I had to say anythign about that, I would send myself a bunch of stacks of cores or worm drops things, etc

[terse dust]

There's just no NPCs.

[dim barn]

Things you can refine to nanites, so you can get your ship and MT easier

[terse dust]

Don't bring any modules to trade, there's no vendors for that.

Bring larval cores and such if you want nanites.

[celest trench]

can you make a group in expeditions ?

[terse dust]

You can't get anything from the QS vendor, so don't assume you can grab any past rewards like the starships or multitools

[dim barn]

I dont think we can group in this exped

[celest trench]

normally you can ?

[mint geyser]

You'll get plenty of credits during it. I'm at 8 mil right now and have nothing else to spend them on.

[celest trench]

i see

[unique glen]

I have lots of runaway mold.

[dim barn]

Yeah, normally you can, but the whole theme of this one, is solitude

[terse dust]

I haven't tried to group, but people show up in the Anomaly so

[celest trench]

i see i see

[terse dust]

You can see other people the whole time.

I dunno why you'd be unable to group up.

[dim barn]

I know that if I try to chat in game, its just KKKZZZZZZTTTT

[mint geyser]

People are glitchy in the anomaly. I most often see people in stations.

[terse dust]

Weird.

[unique glen]

Should I bring extra Ship/multitool/suit storage augmentations?

[terse dust]

Fair enough.

[terse dust]

Nowhere to augment your stuff.

They're all the old, empty stations.

[unique glen]

Oh ok. Thanks, that’s what you meant

[dim barn]

You can use any that you bring, but you can also bring your main ship and MT

[celest trench]

how long will this expedition last ?

[mint geyser]

Any vendor that isn't a terminal doesn't work.

[terse dust]

with nothing but a portal, a kiosk, and an Atlaspass door

[dim barn]

Thing is with the slot upgrades, you need to be careful,a nd use them any time you are prompted

If you decline, you cant use them at a terminal

[terse dust]

lmao true

[unique glen]

2 months

[celest trench]

oki thank you

[unique silo]

i'm trying to do the mission where wants the bones but i've jumped through god knows how many systems, none of which are suitable, what should i do here?

[celest trench]

does the egg companion you get do anything special ?

[terse dust]

I'm turning theoretical

[unique glen]

So stuff to make into nanites, no need for storage stuff, maybe carbon and other stuff to keep things juiced up? Fuel? Anything like that?

[terse dust]

Does the mission thing show up on galaxy map?

[dim barn]

One of the rendezvous systems, I think the 2nd or 3rd has a ice planet with bones

[unique silo]

it doesnt

[mint geyser]

Nanites are useless, since there aren't any people to spend them with.

[terse dust]

You need them to claim your ship and multitool. And for the one milestone

[unique glen]

I thought you need nanites to “buy” the ship. Yeah^

Are there any bugs I should be careful to avoid before I start?

[dim barn]

yeah, is why I said you can bring things like cores, radiant shards/worm drops, etc

And refine them to nanites

[mint geyser]

🤷 I haven't had to spend anything. It's just all been instant claim for me.

[unique silo]

it says no suitable planets in current system, select a different system from the galaxy map but there's no marker on the galaxy map

wrong reply mb

[unique glen]

What are worm drops?

[terse dust]

The ropes from the baby worms

[dim barn]

Hmm, the things that drop when you kill the worms on infested planets

[unique glen]

Oh, ok, thought so. Wasn’t sure

Flesh ropes.

[dim barn]

Yeah, those

But the first planet is EASY to farm thsoe drops on, anyways

Its a very flat, desolate planet, with low gravity

[terse dust]

Truuue

Speaking of, I might head back there

[dim barn]

You can just zip in, kill fast, and than scram before they know what happened

[unique glen]

Hmmm…anything else I should bring? I’m trying not to overthink it, but I remember the last Exhibition there were stuff like food items and things like that that made it easier to have from the start to complete milestones

[cobalt fox]

how long do you think it takes to finish this

[dim barn]

Maybe bring some suit tech

[terse dust]

Bring a weapon multitool moreso than a mining one, I think

[dim barn]

If you ahve some good environmental shields and such

[terse dust]

You'll get the stuff you need for both tho

[terse dust]

Yeah weird. This is how it goes for me.

[dim barn]

If you ahve some spare stacks of suit slot opgrades, they will help, but I didnt really need any of that

[terse dust]

Can you use them without a kiosk?

[dim barn]

You can, yeah

[unique glen]

I remember the last expedition people were having to do some milestones out of order because they were buggy and doing some in a certain order could cancel out another or something, it was a mess at first. Has anyone noticed anything like that I should watch out for?

[terse dust]

Not so far.

[dim barn]

When you unlock one of the milestones that gives them, it lets you use them

But thats it

[terse dust]

Ahhh

[unique glen]

Are you guys enjoying it so far? How is it?

[terse dust]

Don't spend all your surge batteries.

[dim barn]

@unique glen If you are on PC, they have patched issues already

[terse dust]

You can make more, but you get five to start.

[unique glen]

I’m on PS5.

[terse dust]

Make sure you have the mission pinned for the thing you want located before you spend em

[dim barn]

Okay, then just make sure you dont hit the last rendezvous before you do the rest

[unique glen]

Naturally 😎

[hazy tusk]

What do I need to know before starting the expedition?

[terse dust]

We've been discussing that. Scroll up a bit; we've had a ton of advice

[mint geyser]

This mission is so dumb. I haven't found a single empty world outside the blue stars, and all of the blue stars have already been discovered, so I can't find synthetic creatures.

[terse dust]

Long story short; nothing.

[terse dust]

If there's no space station, it's undiscovered right?

Can you filter it by race and just look at the empty ones?

[dim barn]

Also, some of the mission will upgrade the class of your ship and tool, and if they are already S class, will say your inventory is full. This was fixed on PC, already, but easy to work around by equipping the starter ship or tool when you accept the prizes

[mint geyser]

I thought "undiscovered" meant nobody's been there before. Not "unsettled".

[unique glen]

As always, thank you all for your tips and advice. Best Discord community EVER. (No BS) ❤️

[terse dust]

Nah, I think they meant there's no dominant race 😔

[dim barn]

Yeah, I should have been saying that, but yeah, any unsettled system

[terse dust]

Cuz otherwise the whole planet would have to be rerolled to take away the animals after being named.

[mint geyser]

Oh that's way different.

[dim barn]

No matter the sun color

[terse dust]

Fair confusion tho

[dim barn]

Yeah, tooltip says blue systems, but any system will do, as long as its uninhabited

[terse dust]

Tooltip should probably say uninhabited tbh

[mint geyser]

The tooltip says they only spawn on "Empty" worlds, which show up more commonly in blue systems.

[dim barn]

yeah, not the best tooltip

[remote thunder]

uncharted

[tribal nova]

How can I tell when a planet has active copper

Or system ig

[terse dust]

We've solved that by now bk :p

[remote thunder]

when you scan a planet from orbit, it will say so (instead of copper)

[remote thunder]

only yellow star systems can have copper or activated copper or both

[tribal nova]

Ok

[mint geyser]

Planets in yellow star systems have copper. Scan the planet from orbit. If it has the "Activated" resource, the weather on that planet is bad

[humble bramble]

Before today the dreaming milestones would break if you went to a rendezvous in the next phase

[remote thunder]

not always, but most of the times

[mint geyser]

Don't count on being able to step twenty feet away from your ship.

[humble bramble]

Uncharted means no space station

[remote thunder]

if you've not upgraded suit with better protection, or don't have a good stack of resources/batteries, that's right

[humble bramble]

Also go to red stars

[dim barn]

Any system that uncharted can have the critters as often as others, but there tend to be more uncharted red stars, than the others

[remote thunder]

95% of red star systems are uncharted; that said, set filter to lifeform in the galaxy map top right, and all white stars will be uncharted

[mint geyser]

So what everyone is telling me is that someone at Hello Games got this tooltip 100% wrong.

[unique glen]

Do I need any ion batteries? I remember someone mentioned those somewhere

[terse dust]

........yeah kinda.

[terse dust]

Wouldn't hurt to have em.

[mint geyser]

It doesn't say uncharted system, it says empty world.

[remote thunder]

they mention empty in the sense that uncharted systems (planets) don't have npcs or almost any buildings to speak of

[terse dust]

And the worlds they're on arent empty either.

When I think empty, I think like a moon. Like the starting planet.

[unique glen]

I have lots of copper and chromatic metal, etc. any materials I’ll need an abundance of before I begin to speed things along?

[remote thunder]

you'll be able to craft them though

[terse dust]

Empty is just outright wrong. Uninhabited, sure, but these planets are far from empty.

Hell, not even uninhabited. Uncolonized, maybe?

Cuz things still inhabit them. Plants, minerals... clearly robotic creatures. :p

[remote thunder]

a small stack of atlantideum and activated copper; a solar mirror; something to refine to nanites and something to sell for units

[unique glen]

Great to see you! Thanks so much!

[remote thunder]

good to see you back again 🙂

[terse dust]

what are the materials for the surge battery?

Might be useful to bring those

[unique glen]

I was sucked into Dragon’s Dogma 2, but I had a gut feeling an expedition was coming, I looked it up, sure enough it started the other day! Almost as if I sensed it lol

[terse dust]

It's an expedition-exclusive material that's required for using the Signal Booster

[mint geyser]

If I made my character fresh for the expedition, will I be able to leave it when I'm done? Or will the character be stuck here for two months?

[remote thunder]

wdym leave it?

convert the save to normal?

[terse dust]

You leave the expedition mode when you're done, iirc.

[remote thunder]

finish the expedition and return to primary?

[terse dust]

If it's a brand new save, it'll become Normal after the last milestone right?

[remote thunder]

if you complete and claim all milestones and all phase and final rewards, it should let you convert/finish early

[remote thunder]

after the last "thing", milestone or phase, or final reward is claimed, yeah

[terse dust]

ahhh

[humble bramble]

By the end I rarely claim every milestone because my inventory is full enough

[sonic shale]

Did one of the previous expeditions start you in a solar ship? Maybe S class?

[dim barn]

Cant remember if it was S, but yeah, one of the last exped started in a solar

[mint geyser]

Prob upgraded it to S along the way from the milestones

[woeful osprey]

yo BK is this one hard?

[humble bramble]

No

[remote thunder]

not imo, no

[woeful osprey]

compared to the last one i mean

[mint geyser]

Other than this one milestone of PraiseRNGesus, no.

[dim barn]

This exped is a good way for newer people to learn how to ninja whispering eggs, lol

[remote thunder]

if anything, early on, just need to be a little more careful on jetpack usage on the starter planet

that drain on life sup can get you if you just go wild and have a blast with low grav

[mint geyser]

Def want to bring spare oxygen and carbon, the starting world would have been rough if I hadn't been paying attention.

[terse dust]

Don't forget you won't be able to cash that out until a few systems later when you can call the Anomaly.

[woeful osprey]

ah mk thanks for sayin

[somber remnant]

any recommendations as what i should bring on the expedition? or do we start with nothing this time?

[mint geyser]

Ah, then yeah just be careful on the first planet and you should be fine. Focus on getting the milestone that gives the advanced mining upgrade and you should be able to find carbon and oxygen in the rocks.

[terse dust]

How many times a day have y'all heard that question now

[humble bramble]

Too many and I'm not even super active

[terse dust]

#nms-expedition message

[woeful osprey]

im askin before switch gets it so im prepared lol

[terse dust]

Start from where the last person asked it and work your way down

at Dragon :p

[mint geyser]

Oh so NOW the map decides to point me toward the synthetics. Only took me wandering aimlessly for this long.

[remote thunder]

we're working on a pin with useful info

[wary compass]

Is there no way to aqcuire this freighter?

[somber remnant]

was just asking a question -.-

[terse dust]

Nope, you get one later on

[terse dust]

And I answered it

[dim barn]

Also a few things of note to new starters, if you CAN melee rocks to break them, OR use the bolt caster, if your mining beam runs dry

[somber remnant]

not very nicely

anyway

[wary compass]

I already got one from the derelict quest. I hate it's looks

[somber remnant]

off to read

[terse dust]

Have fun!

[mint geyser]

The freighter we get for the milestone is weird. Anyone else notice its interior randomizes every time it's summoned?

[terse dust]

Ah, well, I think that's your lot unfortunately.

[wary compass]

Dang

[terse dust]

It'll only be for the expedition so

[wary compass]

Behold, the brick

[terse dust]

My freighter colors went weird

The openings have a strange paint job

[somber remnant]

this looks fun XD

[mint geyser]

Will I keep the ships I claim when I leave the expedition?

[remote thunder]

gentle reminder about !faq-expedition

[terse dust]

They have a tip on how to gather the bits off the reward ship pinned too

[sonic shale]

there's oxygen in some of the rocks, iirc. as long as you have plenty of oxygen, you can use refiner recipes to multiply your sodium and your carbon.

[dim barn]

^^^

I started to just use my bolt caster, I was getting lucky with the geodes

[terse dust]

You can also pick flowers to recover carbon and sodium right?

[remote thunder]

you could, if you started expedition from existing save, and existing save had enough free ship slots and you had enough nanites to be able to go between expedition and primary a few times, switching ships every time before returning to primary, to basically clone the ships you wanted. when you're done, return to expedition, and finish it

[sonic shale]

if you entered the expedition from in-game, you can copy your active ship in your expedition save to your primary save by using the terminal while on the primary save.

[mint geyser]

I didn't do that. I started the expedition fresh.

[gloomy raven]

Abandonment is acting weird... stuck on locate the ship after I find 2 wrecked ships

[sonic shale]

in that case it's a new save iirc

[humble bramble]

@remote thunder how do you deal with answering the same questions over and over

I feel like that'd drive someone insane

[remote thunder]

then when you complete expedition, it will force a conversion to normal mode save, keeping everything, all progress, gear, inventories, etc, and allowing the player to continue playing (progressing quests, etc)

[remote thunder]

i remember that it's not the same person asking those questions

[somber remnant]

I work in retail, this is how to get through the day :3

[remote thunder]

+, i've been there, asking questions

and i have fun ofc, sorta relive experiences

[humble bramble]

That's fair

[wary compass]

Is this ||Null?||

[terse dust]

No...?

[gloomy raven]

How do you make surge batteries?

[terse dust]

You have a recipe already, no need to learn it

But yeah, as Forge posted

[mint geyser]

Prob the recipe comes from a milestone. Or not

[gloomy raven]

oh yeah... never mind my high af self tonight

[somber remnant]

is all good :3

[terse dust]

Maybe? I assume it came from the one that taught you the booster if anything

[mint geyser]

Will synthetic creatures be on the same planet as organics?

[gloomy raven]

Any ideas about this?

[wary compass]

I love this objective

[dim barn]

yeah, can finish it a minute into a new run, lol

[gloomy raven]

espcecially when you start it 50 seconds before sunrise

[remote thunder]

tried to save+reload?

[gloomy raven]

yes

[remote thunder]

did you actually claim them?

[terse dust]

Ye, do it on the starter planet

[humble bramble]

Isn't that a new traveler type for the graves though I've never seen an anomaly at them before

[remote thunder]

maybe it wants a specific site? sorry, i haven't got around to finish that one yet

[terse dust]

I did it on a planet where the sun came too quickly, and then on one where a sentinel blocked my view, then one where a storm kept it from running

[gloomy raven]

actually claim no. I hopped into it and back out of them

[terse dust]

Maybe it needs you to interact with the orb?

You know how there's an orb near a downed starship?

[gloomy raven]

good idea brb

[remote thunder]

that would have required for you to claim them

[terse dust]

Ye

I forgot about the orb for like a year.

[gloomy raven]

i didn't touch any stinking orbs yet

[terse dust]

Right when you start the game they show it to you, and then I never really thought that would show up again.

[humble bramble]

I know the sunken freighter required me to interact with the orb

[terse dust]

I actually learned the Economy Scanner from an orb

[remote thunder]

but that's normally marked, if part of a mission

[terse dust]

Helped me find places with no economy, thus no space station

[terse dust]

True.

[gloomy raven]

I just did too

[remote thunder]

galaxy map, top right, filter=lifeform, all white stars are uncharted

[dim barn]

^^^

[terse dust]

I think it's kinda funny that they did an update with a complicated and flashy new space station, and then take us to versions of some of the oldest stuff in the system.

[terse dust]

Fair as well.

That's a good tip to pin for the expedition.

[wary compass]

I took the hint of "alone" at the end being the finisher for "You are not KZZKT Alone"

[remote thunder]

like i've said before, we're working on a pin 🙂

[gloomy raven]

I get to the compare/leave screen and I leave. Don't I have to Compare first?

[terse dust]

Yeah, I was just sayin don't forget that when you do ;p

Compare, and then Claim.

[gloomy raven]

so I have to compare, then Claim then?

[remote thunder]

hmm, i guess i'd try to actually claim and own a ship, see what it says - what does the mission hint lower right say you need to do?

[gloomy raven]

that's the problem, it stays at the find the building stage

[terse dust]

Like they take us to abandoned space stations that are based on one of the oldest styles of space station and the classic exterior, and they get us to go into the one room of the Anomaly that maintains its original aesthetic.

I think they should update the Pirate stations to be overtaken versions of the previous Space Station style.

[gloomy raven]

Ah yeah, you do have to claim the wreck before it continues

[terse dust]

then we'd have the two railing model for abandoned, the side alleys model for pirates, and the new two-story model for regular

[mint geyser]

How hard is it to get tech and upgrades for organic ships?

[humble bramble]

Uhh not hard I don't think

Just a bit more tedious

[wary compass]

I thought I was supposed to be alone...

I claimed the derelict and now I have the ghost frigate and this industrial frigate in my fleet...

[gloomy raven]

nice and also you don't have to bix the launcher and pulse... fix just the launcher

[dim barn]

Whew, my base on starter world, will have oxy, mag ferrits, and cursed dust refiners, along with 10 curious deposits

And I had to stretch it almost 1k in each direction

hahah, yeahhh, frigate pilots still there

The dust will be handy

Its a ton of cash

Can buy a LOT of the suspicious tech, and get your suit up to combat levels

[hybrid gull]

So uhhh

Should I just go

[dim barn]

Give it a hug

[hybrid gull]

Because broadcasting could probably do something bad right

[dim barn]

Thats what it means by "containment"

Not that I know of, though. Shouldn't break anything

[topaz kettle]

thank you

i was actually able to apply the ship modules like you said

[dim barn]

wait... can we not extract dust with refiners?

This will make me sad, lol

[hybrid gull]

Ok just got to the crash site uhh there was toxic rain so I’m just chilling here

[dim barn]

Ageneral question to all.. When doing derelicts do you always make sure to spin a bunch of the chairs? I do it for good luck

[humble bramble]

@hybrid gull the one person misdirected you this is for the expedition mode you'd be better off in #nms-questions or just #no-mans-sky

[hybrid gull]

So it’s bad that I’m here or sum?

[dim barn]

Yeah, doesnt seem you can use refiners to extract cursed dust, sad times

[vale knoll]

If you start from another save file, at the anomaly. Does the freighter come over with you when you finish expedition.
What all comes over?

[sturdy hinge]

Can we do the mountain summit goal in spawn planet?

I assume so but don’t know if mountains tall enough

[summer nest]

if you have expedition questions, this is the right place

[humble bramble]

No it's not bad but just not the main purpose of this channel yk

People here are generally helpful regardless though

#nms-questions is unfortunately kinda slow though

Sometimes

[dim barn]

This would be a great cash farm

Hmm, is this worthy of a boop on zendesk? It seems like this SHOULD be working

[spark iron]

In the signs to nowhere milestone do i search for lost buildings or nearby structures to find waypoints?

[dim barn]

I waited until I got my minotaur, and jsut used that to scan for factories on a flat planet, and zoomed through it fast

[spark iron]

That is a good idea

[exotic rover]

Hallo, need some help finding the portal which I left behind because for some reason it didn't work for the Amidst the Stars and can't complete the quest, could someone help me get to the portal?

[wary compass]

It is done. It was a great trip.

[sonic shale]

so what's a good number of duplicate iron vultures to aim for? 3? 6?

[vagrant bear]

Is there something wrong with phase 4? Claiming the last reward or main phase reward bugs out, and i cant do anything but alt + f4

[vagrant bear]

I saw on reddit that this could happen if you decline the freighter after you complete the mission on the derelict. But I did not decline it.

[rapid island]

I just completed the expedition, where is the iron vulture and the other rewards??

I don't see the egg, the iron vulture or any of the rewards on my main save?

[vagrant bear]

Did you go to the anomaly to claim them from the npc?

[rapid island]

?

I'm at the shared inventory box

In the anomoly

I didn't know about the npc, I'll go look

[lost hatch]

Tasks completed. Time to explore more. What a nice journey!

[lusty slate]

FYI: to anyone who completes the expedition from an existing save and cares about catalog stuff: you can bring the Withering Manuscript with you to your main save and complete the Curiosity list. Confirmed from a PS5 player RL friend of mine. Tagging @remote thunder

He wasn't able to confirm if any wormskin folios aside from 1 drop. So I'm going to test that myself when I get the update.

[vagrant bear]

Everytime i try to claim the frigate i get locked in this screen. Cannot do anything except alt + f4.

[hybrid gull]

I angered the drone

[dim barn]

@vagrant bear what sysem are you running on?

System, even

[silk tundra]

is there any point to keeping the data you get from abandoned freighters?

[sonic shale]

i've killed 100+ worms and only seen folio 1

[dim barn]

Not in this exped, @silk tundra

[silk tundra]

ty, just wanted to make sure

[topaz kettle]

where can I find whispering eggs easily?

[dim barn]

First planety

Scan around, smack the eggs, grab the loot, then fly away

[vagrant bear]

win10 64, 16gb ram, 1070ti, i7 8700hq

its a wee bit on the old side xD

[topaz kettle]

alright, thank you

[dim barn]

ahh, ok ok, are you SUPER up to date? The latest PC patch (4.71.1) fixes an issues saying "Fixed an issue that prevented players from claiming the Ship of the Damned if they had permanently declined the freighter rewarded by an earlier milestone in the Adrift expedition." Thats almost what your issue sounds like

Well, the notes say that its on steam at the moment, not sure if its on GOG

[vagrant bear]

Ill restart steam, maybe i've missed an update. I already updated the game early this morning

[dim barn]

yeah, not sure if thats actually the issue, though

[vagrant bear]

ill do a file integrity check while im at it 🙂

[ashen shore]

When are the next expedition 13 patches expected?

[dim barn]

Wait... that frigate is SUPER glitched

haahha, I just noticed some of the other oddites on it

[solemn bane]

It's damned, what did you expect

[vagrant bear]

i've tried to go around to other systems, claiming it there, on the freighter, outside xD

[solemn bane]

Ain't no blessed frigate

[dim barn]

Also another bugfix on 4.71 says that if you try to claim it if you had leviathan, it would glitch as well

And that frigate REALLY looks like its confused with a bio frigate

One of those pictures, where the more you look at it, the more things are wrong with it

Also

The captain, lol. Admiral Dad

[vagrant bear]

yeah i found that funny xD

[dim barn]

I sent a bug report, I WANT this cursed dust extracting system workin, lol

[fierce frigate]

Guys do you recommend doing the exp on a new save or my main? ( Im new to the game and didnt finished storyline neither got a S class multitool/ship )

[boreal grotto]

personal preference tbh. I made a whole new save to do it with

[vagrant bear]

Im sending one too 😄

The devs are gonna have a blast with "admiral dad"

[fierce frigate]

Doing in the main save will only keep nanites and units?

[dim barn]

Captain Admiral Dad would be a killer username, really

[boreal grotto]

feels like cheating since my main save has way to much lol

[dim barn]

Yeah, actually, if you are fairly new, using your main to start it, will be good. You will get a bunch of benefits at the end

[vagrant bear]

Captain Admiral Dad, Private First Class on the freighter cruiser battleship submarine, reporting

[fierce frigate]

I keep the pet right? Where I read it said I could only have a multitool and ship+nanites and this stuff

[dim barn]

I'm a little lost on what you actually keep, honestly. I did it on a fresh save first, then ran through it again with my main, but havent hit the complete button yet. Someone else here can answer on what rewards transfer back when you finish

I'm going to kep travelling and building stuff until the final day, just for the funsies

[boreal grotto]

do u get the phase rewards per save or account wide?

[dim barn]

account

You accept them on any save you have on the nexus after, it's pretty nice

[boreal grotto]

so no way to claim the rewards on main account than if i started a fresh save for it

[vagrant bear]

From what I remember even if you use a current save you start the expedition clean and broke

unless you go on your main save on the expedition terminal to put some goodies in there ( shared inventory) for your expedition save.

[dim barn]

The phase rewards, like the ship at the end, and such, you can grab at the nexus after

I don't think HG expected anyone to try to put extractors on cursed dust hotspots

[boreal grotto]

so once i claim it on one save i cant claim it again on another?

[fierce frigate]

Idk if i do or not on my main, i think ill make a new save for that and learn how to get nanites and units without these events

[boreal grotto]

is the cursed dust useful?

[fierce frigate]

You can claim on every save

If im not mistaken

[dim barn]

Yup

The cursed dust sells really well

So was workin on a base for people that might want to fast track a little

[wispy sierra]

I'm on the adrift expedition trying to claim the Rime freighter, but it says I own an EV-1 Kunepart freighter and shows the swap as -1 credits, but when i try to call in a freighter it says I don't own one?

[fierce frigate]

I have a freighter but its really meh, i got it today and im just using for storage until now

[boreal grotto]

ya freighter i got was poop but its nice storage atm

[fierce frigate]

I could have a pirate one if i knew they could run

[dim barn]

That reminds me, someone mentioned that the free frieghter changes when you summon it, I need to test that

[fierce frigate]

Wdym?

[dim barn]

Instead of scowling at this mineral extractor thats not doing anything

The free freighter we get in this exped

I looked at it once, then left and didnt look back, lol

[vagrant bear]

Mine didnt change

[fierce frigate]

We get a freighter too?

[dim barn]

Yeah, but its noting exciting

[vagrant bear]

Its the same old blocky chunk of scrap

[dim barn]

Thing is, one my FIRST run through, my frieghter came with a planet scanner, which was pretty awesome, my second one, had a ladder. Just a ladder

[fierce frigate]

But who is the commander of that freighter

If theres no one

[vagrant bear]

Commander Admiral Dad

lol

[fierce frigate]

He does not exist?

[vagrant bear]

its technically a ghost ship right now

in the expedition save

no crew

[fierce frigate]

But it works?

[vagrant bear]

Yep

[fierce frigate]

Thats cool

[wispy sierra]

does anyone know how I can fix this bug that prevents me from claiming the free freighter?

[fierce frigate]

Yea i will make a new save maybe next month

[boreal grotto]

is there no way to scrap ships in the exped?

[lusty slate]

You can do a lot of exploits if you play the exped from an existing save. Like abusing the copy ship mechanic + sending rare items back to your main.

[fierce frigate]

Copy ship mechanic?

[lusty slate]

Copying the Iron Vulture multiple times to farm its parts.

[dim barn]

Might need to send a report to !hg on that @wispy sierra

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[wispy sierra]

thx

[lusty slate]

But if you're really new, I wouldn't worry about that stuff

[dim barn]

O have zero interest in building my own ships, lol

I LOVE ship hunting

[fierce frigate]

I like the authentic ones

[lusty slate]

No worries! I like how they added customization in a way that didn't negate ship hunting.

[fierce frigate]

My First ship bought is a solar one

[dim barn]

WOOOWWW

I was able to build a trade terminal on my freighter, and it has some useful stuff in the shop, different than the stations. Nothing AMAZING, but handy

Exo upgrade charts, will need to see if they work

Aronium which rrefines into gold

Supre nice

Nice, i didnt htink any of this was unlocked, I didnt even look

All the storage chambers, the refiner rooms

Well there is one tip, bring the matter beam, and the warp drive upgrade that allows blue systems for your freighter when you start from your main save

I know have ALL my storage, this was super nice

[cerulean olive]

I think this is intentional. Otherwise the Iron Vulture wouldn't be scrappable for parts.

[dim barn]

And the shop will change depending on the system im in, I can hunt around for shops

[lusty slate]

Lowkey disappointed Adrift can't be used for QS farming like Omega was...

[dim barn]

It KINDA can. Once you finish, you can run weekend missions on multiple saves

The QS isnt account based, but the things you unlock with it, are

[lusty slate]

Oh, I know. I did that with Omega. But Omega's QS payout with the optional milestones was insane.

[dim barn]

Thats how I ended up cleaning the QS shop out

yeah, was like 1200 or so each?

[fierce frigate]

Wait Quicksilver? Shared across all saves?

[dim barn]

Not the QS itself

But the things you buy with it on the nexus, are

[fierce frigate]

What can i buy there?

[lusty slate]

I had 20k QS transfered to main when I finished Omega.

[dim barn]

All the cosmetics and such from that NPC near the nexus mission center

[fierce frigate]

So it doesn't impact the gameplay itself?

[dim barn]

Also, another big tip, all the bobble heads do more than give your ship some flair

Some of it, will

But thats not for the exped chat, lol

[cerulean olive]

I cleaned out the QS shop long ago and sitting on 115K QS, without much to buy. Stacking more is useless

[dim barn]

(the bobble heads, and the void egg are a big draw in the QS shop, just sayin)

[lusty slate]

I have everything in Appearances bought except titles.

[topaz kettle]

how do i find more abandoned buildings easier for the whispering eggs

or do the eggs respawn eventually?

[dim barn]

Really, go back to the starting planet for the eggs

[topaz kettle]

i am on the starting planet

[dim barn]

Its SO easy to snag them, and run to the next

[lusty slate]

I'm trying to clean it out without the restore exploit. Not above using exped saves tho.

[topaz kettle]

my question is like how do I know where to go next
