How to find robofauna (Phase 3, "It's Alive")
If you pin this mission, the game hint in the lower right tells you to go to empty worlds in blue star systems. This is only partly correct.
By "empty" worlds, the hint means uncharted systems (no space stations, no associated species like Gek/Korvax/Vykeen); red star systems are the majority of these.
You need to install Cadmium drive in the ship to warp to a Red star system, it requires Chromatic Metal and Wiring Loom which is easier than installing Indium drive needed for Blue star systems.
Easy way to find these fauna (using red star uncharted systems):
Pin the mission
Go to the galaxy map and select "Lifeform" as the Filter
Select "Free Look"
Look for stars that show up as white, with this filter applied, with system info starting K or M (e.g. "45LY K2p ...")
Select such a system and warp in; if there is robotic fauna on a world in the system, the game will show a hint in the lower right, "Synthetic lifesigns detected on nearby world". If not, move on
If there is robofauna there, go to each world that doesn't have rusted metal on resource list, land, exit ship. If you are on one with robofauna, the game will show a hint in the lower right, "Synthetic lifesigns detected on this planet"
There will be two robofauna there, scan them both. You will need two worlds with robofauna to complete the milestone
Some posts in the pins in the #nms-expedition channel have information about systems with robofauna near rendezvous systems, if you get really stuck.
Info courtesy of Atlas Emissaries.

if this is about the waypoint milestone, don't use signal booster for this, you want to save those surge batteries for other milestones anyway. just go with apergos advice above, once you unlock mino you can build its geobay and radar array and scan for buildings if needed

Man, there’s got to be an easier way to find a freakin’ Robo-animal planet. I’ve followed the guides in the pins, I’ve tried finding systems people showed screenshots of, but can’t for the life of me find them! I can’t believe I can’t find a base a player made with synthetic fauna on it. I planned to do it myself, but I’ve been at this for like 3 hours.

there is a comprehensive howto in the pins as of a couple hours ago, try that
unique glen
On my main save, I’ve played this game for nearly 400 hours, and I’ve only found TWO planets with synthetic fauna. That’s how rare it appears to be.
indigo falcon
it's better around the expd route and especially near the rendezvous systems
unique glen
Yup. That’s what I’m TRYING to do, I’ve been looking in the galaxy map for over an hour, flying into “white” systems (with the species filter on) etc etc, no luck yet
faint mesa
Finding the red system near rendezvous 3 was pretty easy for me, it's really close
indigo falcon
make sure they are K,M for red, or the blue systems. green or yellow (F, G, E) won't do
unique glen
Do planets ever have synthetic and organic fauna on the same planet or is it always just the synthetics by themselves?
indigo falcon
only the robofauna. two of them. exactly two, always.
but if you have the missions pinned, it will say once you warp in that there is some in the system. if it doesn't, leave! save yourself time!
unique glen
Ok, I’m headed back to R3, gonna try to find a “red” planet. Which filter should I use?
indigo falcon
life form, as the guide says.

Ok. Thanks again. Wish me luck! (This milestone blows)

look for the name to start with K or M (so like 98LY K2p or whatever)

Will the star system actually be colored red with the life form filter, or will it be white?

it will be white, you must look at the system info (so-many-LY (K,M)-some-number-(p,...))

HEYYY! I found a base with synthetic horses in the teleport list! God bless this person!

Nice! Check the system after covering the two species on the planet
It's possible that there's a second planet with two more

if i'm doing the "grab the vulture 4 times to scrap 4 times" thing, does that mean i should be ready to savescum to get the correct thing? And does it help at all if I put upgrades or cargo in it? If i remove upgrades does that make it cheaper to scrap?
or not scrap, cheaper to summon again
whatever the verb is
indigo falcon
class is the determiner, S = 2.8k nanites I believe
I would check the pin in here about the procedure as to save scum etc
valid inlet
will it come with its cargo and upgrades? Could I put a bunch of upgrades into it that I remove and sell on the other side to make up for some of the cost?
indigo falcon
it will come with tech upgrades, no cargo, but if you're getting parts I'm not sure how that works
remote thunder
doesn't matter, all you're getting is the customization modules
valid inlet
what i mean is, if i fill it with expensive things, and then on the other side before i scrap for modules, I sell all the expensive things, does that work?
remote thunder
so you're paying the nanites 3 times to get the 3 available parts
cargo doesn't transfer/copy
valid inlet
but tech does
remote thunder
only installed tech
valid inlet
and tech is expensive
you can sell that for nanites i think?
maybe im confused
when i said expensive stuff I was including tech
remote thunder
stored tech or modules will be worth like 16 nanites
valid inlet
so probably not worth the effort?
remote thunder
not its full worth, the hundreds of nanites you were looking for
remote thunder
so probably not worth the effort?
if you're doing this, you're going to farm the nanites*3
or setting options/difficulty/purchases=free
that should do the trick

yes, except that any items you ship over (resources, tech) to the expd save you need to reclaim at the end by having the expd save put them back in the terminal at the anomaly for transfer. that's all
wise forge
yes, except that any items you ship over (resources, tech) to the expd save you ...
So,what do you mean by 'ship over' to the expedition save?
indigo falcon
when you start an expd from a main save, you go to the terminal at the anomaly and you can place packaged tech, and some resources, nin a sort of stash box there, which your expd save can pick up when it can get to the anomaly
this is a true transfer, you no longer have those tech/resources
this is different than bringing in a copy of the active ship/mt; this is a copy and it simply costs nanites
(more nanites for higher class ship / mt)

Alright,just making sure I understood properly. Thanks for the info!

you could: scan all fauna on three exotic worlds (one fauna only) or the 2 robotic fauna on two worlds (needed for a milestone) and then claim the 250 nanites per fauna on the fauna page; you could shoot some whispering eggs and refine the larval cores; same for worms but with flesh ropes and vile spawns...

it's mostly good. there are a few jerks, just like anywhere, but thankfully the minority
trail iron
so far ive got i think 7/12 waypoints
refine larvals, worm guts, even sell the upgrades given to you as rewards. all give decent nanites.
also as for the waypoints you dont need the booster, just use your scan (same button as on land) while flying. Most planets, that'll highlight a nearby building for you. If it doesn't get a different system and try again.

rememebr that you need to hit 12 of those white and red spinny save point flags at buildings as you go, so hit it while you're there
dusty hedge
Once I finish the eggs, I'll rendezvous at the Anomaly and grab my stuff
Also, does everyone start with the same ship in this? Or is that part procedural?
trail iron
of note, im not sure if it's still avaialable, but if you check the space station teleporter there, you MAY be able to load into other players' bases - I made one with the Utopia learnign booths .... if it works
the ship is tied to your user data.
dusty hedge
Oh neat!
trail iron
every time you start THIS expedition on that account your ship and your appearance are fixed by your userdata
trail iron
i think everyone got shuttle in this one
dusty hedge
Gotcha
trail iron
the type is fixed in most.
trail iron
My advantage is that I generally fly shuttles anyhow 😄
dusty hedge
It feels nice to be back in a shuttle again. I love my shuttle back home and I'll never get rid of it.
I went to an explorer and now I've been using an exotic ever since I left Euclid
But I love shuttles nonetheless
I might end up upgrading mine as far as it can go someday
Alongside the exotic
trail iron
Mine's completely sentinmental. It's the first ship (Artemis' crash site) that I ever found and repaired. Of my 6 saves, I've got a similar one on each.
This expedition actually gave me a pink shuttle that was nearly exactly the same - it was flatfaced instead of tube faced, but otherwise "my" shuttle so I was quite amused/pleased/joyous
dusty hedge
That's awesome

Any tips for finding a sunken freighter?
Yea, go to the local space station and check for other bases that have this available. That's what I did and I found a nice one too! Lol

I've noticed that too. I have two accounts (PC/PS4) and my starting expedition ship is different between the two, but always the same for each individually.

Remind me how getting an MT back from the expedition to the main save works. Can you only get one back or is there a way to get multiples back?
sonic shale
if you went back to your primary save from the menu instead of by ending the expedition at the terminal, you could go back in and swap multitools
wanton raft
I'm asking because I want to take advantage of all the MT class upgades in this expedition.
sonic shale
that's how I brought back my exotic (now with more inventory slots) + duplicates of the iron vulture
wanton raft
if you went back to your primary save from the menu instead of by ending the exp...
Haven't ended it yet.
I'm hoping I might be able to bring back two or three different MTs.
sonic shale
to be clear: you finish all the objectives, claim everything, go to the anomaly, you save (this might not be necessary), hit esc, hit the button that says something like 'return to primary save'. that'll put you in your primary save where you can duplicate your active ship (with technologies, not with cargo), and your active multitool. then you can go up to the terminal and 'resume expedition' to get back in
wanton raft
I know that. The details I'm taling about are a bit more in depth.
sonic shale
i literally brought back two ships, I'm saying you can definitely bring back multiple multitools.
You can't bring back two of the same one though.
Because it won't let you claim a multitool you already have in your selection.
wanton raft
i literally brought back two ships, I'm saying you can definitely bring back mul...
Good!
sonic shale
but it's very important to follow the process I said there, because the moment you hit 'end expedition' at the terminal, you can no longer switch back and forth to change your equipped multitool
you'll have to switch back and forth for each different additional ship or multitool you want to bring back
wanton raft
You can't bring back two of the same one though.
In the last expedition, you could bring back multiples of the same ship and keep them. In my case, I have three Starborn Runners for instance.
sonic shale
yeah, you can bring back duplicates of a ship
not of a multitool
I don't really know why.
wanton raft
i literally brought back two ships, I'm saying you can definitely bring back mul...
Well they should make it harder and more rewarding somehow.
sonic shale
If you brought in a multitool, to bring that one back you'll have to sell the original at the anomaly (or swap it for another)
But you can bring back multiple different multitools.
wanton raft
If you brought in a multitool, to bring that one back you'll have to sell the or...
Yes, but you're saying that's the only one I'll be able to bring back?
sonic shale
No. You can bring multiple different multitools back, if you do not end the expedition
It will only let you duplicate the multitool you had active in expedition mode. So then you have to re-enter the expedition from the terminal, switch active multitools, and switch back to primary
wanton raft
No. You can bring multiple *different* multitools back, if you **do not end the ...
yyyeeesss! That's what I was hoping!
sonic shale
There's apparently an issue with discovery save corruption - i don't know how widespread this is, but I'd just assume you probably shouldn't leave the anomaly while you're on your primary save.
wanton raft
I only need one of each. I just want to bring back several A classes which have been upgraded to S class.
sonic shale
So
- be in expedition with everything completed
- equip a multitool and/or ship you want to duplicate. toss some items/tech in the item spaces in the terminal without hitting end expedition
- save game
- using the escape menu, switch to primary save
- duplicate the stuff you want. if you already have this multitool, you're gonna have to dispose of the original somehow
- save game
- access the terminal. grab the items/tech.
- hit 'resume expedition' in the terminal
you can repeat this as many times as you want, switching ships and multitools
wanton raft
There's apparently an issue with discovery save corruption - i don't know how wi...
Shouldn't even leave once you started the expedition? I did that in the previous expedition with no ill affects. I'll be sure and not do that if it's a problem though.
sonic shale
Honestly I have no idea
I just decided, with no evidence, that it felt safer not to leave while i was on my primary save and haven't yet ended the expedition
I assume it's safe to leave while you're in the expedition? otherwise just playing the expedition would corrupt your discoveries.
finite rover
they've really done some work to make this expedition a little easier.
the 3 artificial critter quest is easy cos they mark the systems on the galaxy map with the critters in them
wanton raft
Oh, are you saying you can move items from the expedition to the main multiple times too? If so that's new.
sonic shale
Yep. And tech.
wanton raft
Nice!
sonic shale
I literally emptied my expedition inventory, which is good because this is a former expedition save that didn't have a lot of stuff on it
I decided this is my new main save since I lost my previous main save and it has a Cartographers exotic on it.
wanton raft
I've got my expedition done on the PC. Still need to do it on the PS4.

No clouds and all the meatballs you can shoot and retrieve. Different movie.

It would probably much healthier spaghetti I bet.

Any tips on where I could find the Crystal sulphide?
Most planets with water. The radioacive planet in the very first system you begin in had them
indigo falcon
of course you may not appreciate the extreme storms there. but there are really plenty of worlds on the route that will do
wanton raft
So when I an starting this expedition (for the second time on the PS4), I want to refine what I pass through to the expedition when I start. The main thing for tech which I take is suit tech. One thing I missed doing when passing in my MT was providing a Survey Device. Really need to do that this time!
Any other suggested thing to send from the main save?
indigo falcon
nice cold prot for the derelict
finite rover
pass through?
indigo falcon
you can package up some things from the main save and put them into a stash via the anomaly terminal, start expd, then when theexpd version of the save reaches the anomaly you can pick them up

wow. but it doesn't become your existing save I take it?
wanton raft
wow. but it doesn't become your existing save I take it?
Pretty handy when you're out of save slots too. The down side is that it goes away at the end but you can move stuff back and some gets moved for you if not.
wanton raft
It's more a problem on the PS4 since you can't back them up as easily. I've done all the expeditions and other saves too so I've had to delete a few.

Not sure what ya mean.
in the utopia expedition you were able to craft stations that function exactly like the vendors on the anomaly.. you can unlock ANYTHING except quicksilver items, that is sold/taught on the aniomaly
So i was able to "buy"t he surcvey device and the indium drive, etc fromt hese booths.
wanton raft
I'm not sure how you do that and am wondering if I can do that on the PS4.

You've got to have the booths.
Though if you butter me up a bit I'm willing to hand you copies of them 😄

no indium needed for those

vast forge
The stuff i get trough the experdition can i transfer it to my main save?
indigo falcon
the end phase and end expd rewards can be claimed once on each save you have
vast forge
and stuff like this?
indigo falcon
the loot and other stuff though, if youstarted the expd from the main save, you can put some of those items into stash at the anomoaly terminal for pickup on the main save
if the expd save is a new save, then no
vast forge
sad okay
indigo falcon
the trick there would be, when you have completed the expd and the save is a normal mode save again, find a friend
join up with them, give them these items from the new converted save
vast forge
okay okay
indigo falcon
then get into your normal main save and have the friend give them to you
finite rover
whee. climed a ruddy huge mountain, sat down and waited for dusk... :)
indigo falcon
people that started the expd from an existing save, the loot they got onthe expd save that is not stashed for pickup, that is converted to units and nanites, right

tidal mantle
i still need blue indium for the final star drive upgrade
indigo falcon
well you might find a player base on a planet in the system, from a space station (you don't need indium btw but you can do that if you like)
other than a player base, you'll have to jump there.
tidal mantle
im landing in the anomaly now
indigo falcon
you are I think better off trying from a space station teleporter, the anomaly one can behave oddly as to player bases
tidal mantle
heading to a station now
indigo falcon
ok!
tidal mantle
isnt there a thing where rendezvous 3 4 and 5 can be done using the same place?
indigo falcon
no, they are all in different planetary systems
this will be true of any expedition
tidal mantle
ren 2 and 5 are on the portal list, but not 3 and 4
indigo falcon
then you'll need to warp there. one tihng you can do, if you have not gotten the milestones that give you antimatter, storm crystals, wrp hypercore blueprint, is do those first (phase 2 "amidst the stars" gives 5 storm crystals, phase 3 "call of the void" gives the blueprint and the antimatter, you can do that in any "dissonant" system so you don't have to get to rend 3 yet for it)... if you get these you can make a few warp hypercores and be set for the warps for the rest of the expd.
tidal mantle
i have that upgrade im looking for planets that have them
..apparently there are Ren 3 bases but the game wont let me down load them
indigo falcon
which upgrade, sorry?
tidal mantle
for the engines
indigo falcon
there are various upgrades. the one you want is for a craftable "warp hypercore", these are like better versions of warp cells.
they each need 1 storm crystal and 1 antimatter but you get given those
indigo falcon
the phase 2 milestone "amidst the stars" gives 5, did you do that?
wanton raft
Random question: Was the Utopia expedition in the Euclid galaxy?
tidal mantle
i did do amidst the stars, BUT, i harvest storm crystals as well
indigo falcon
ok. well the starter system, the second world there, it has them. so you could go to that space station, fly down to the one that says activated copper, and wait for a storm
it is very stormy there so you would not wait long, then you could scoop up some crystals
then take the space station tp back to where you are now, craft up your fuel and bob's your uncle
tidal mantle
do all isotope planets have storm crystals?
indigo falcon
no. they need to have extreme weather. in general you will see a resource like "activated (copper, cadmium, emeril etc)" but it is still not 100% that such a world will have them. the starter system other world does though
it can be various biomes.
finite rover
man, i never wound up using the hypercores.
tidal mantle
sh** im back at ren 2

For the fully explore a derelict freighter quest what exactly do i need to do
Do I just visit each room?
finite rover
yes
remote thunder
from what I read, apparently you can clone iron vulture to your main save as man...
clone and scrap as many times as you have the nanites for, yeah
tidal mantle
i got in my ship, took off, landed, and now its gone
finite rover
and search all the lockers, briefcases, boxes that are searchable
indigo falcon
For the fully explore a derelict freighter quest what exactly do i need to do
the three terminals (crew manifest, captain's log, bulkhead/nanites), that's all
tidal mantle
the critter i mean
indigo falcon
you do not have to search other rooms nor loot anything if you do not want, just those three things
tidal mantle
is the critter vanishing meant to happen?
indigo falcon
(you need the security creds to get captain's log of course)
finite rover
the three terminals (crew manifest, captain's log, bulkhead/nanites), that's all
you also gotta do the tablets until they give you the err thingie.
balmy raptor
the three terminals (crew manifest, captain's log, bulkhead/nanites), that's all
Well game is saying I haven't done the créé manifest
indigo falcon

yes, you summon it when you want it, quick menu utils. all good.

go back and find the tablets and "read" them

i can hear the lectures now "how dare you abandon your critter! do you know how much harm you're doing abandoning a defenceless animal?" listen lady, i didnt ask for the egg, let alone the critter in question, it was forced onto me like socitial expectations
indigo falcon
..believe me, i dont want it
well you'll be overjoyed then to learn that you can have that same companion on every save you ever make now 😛
finite rover
i can hear the lectures now "how dare you abandon your critter! do you know how ...
you should've practised safe egg-handling if you didn't want the critter. stuck with it now, you are.
tidal mantle
just like socities discrimination for being on the spectrum, great! lol
indigo falcon
it will take up a companion slot on that save but that's the only impact for you
(there are 18 I think? slots so no worries there)
tidal mantle
my critter looks like an insectoid dinosaur
indigo falcon
I have not looked at mine yet
they'll all look alike though
hmm probably. the worm ones had variants iirc
tidal mantle
am the only person who thinks the iron vulture looks like the razorcrest from starwars?
indigo falcon
no 🙂
tidal mantle
if we're being honest, most of us want the slave 1
or Bo Katan's ship
can someone explain some faulty in-game logic to me?
indigo falcon
it might not be explainable, game logic is weird like that, but you can always ask
tidal mantle
ive noticed that when you fly towards a certain type of way point, the distance goes up instead of down
the only way around it is to fly into orbit THEN fly towards the way point
indigo falcon
I have seen my speed go into reverse when high up in planet atmosphere and only pulse fixes that. no idea why it is
buglet
tidal mantle
are all the way points on one planet?
ive reached the 5th point but nothing new comes up
remote thunder
rdv5 is on its own planet, not on rdv4's if that's what you are asking
remember to have the right milestone selected, and expedition route destination selected in the galaxy map
low jackal
you just have to keep visiting new Point of Interests
which planet do not matter
most POIs have a waypoint
remote thunder
wow i totally misinterpreted that, sorry
low jackal
you can use your signal booster (consume a surge battery) to locate nearby POI
indigo falcon
any way point you find will do regardless of what planet it is on

had to have applied them when you claimed the respective milestone
@kindred nimbus that said, reaching rendezvous 3 will give you another 3 mt inv slots, and then you'll have a shot at applying all of them, if you have them (the previous 5) in a inventory you're able to access when you claim that milestone

is there an easy way to find infested planets/worm burrows for the hungering tendril step?

remote thunder

follow him
i'm serious, follow him
you'll eventually find a burrow
if you have the milestone selected, target sweep should be available
can also use visor
kindred nimbus
if you have the milestone selected, target sweep should be available
life saver, i didnt even know you could target sweep for them
i need to remember to pin the ones im trying to do so i get the tips <.>
remote thunder
target sweep can sometimes be nagging, but it means well most of the times
if you're playing solo, should be fine
even if it does say too weak for a bit
it works like survey device in that sense
kindred nimbus
target sweep can sometimes be nagging, but it means well most of the times
ye i got it done, thanks again, back to my robot hunt

have the mission pinned, and then you should see "alien structures" or something as the first of two entries
finite rover
sometimes you'll get the wrong one
indigo falcon
btw if it sends you to a monolith, that counts
indigo falcon
did for me
storm fulcrum
thanks
finite rover
damn :)
indigo falcon
for all those ones that need the signal booster, you need to pin the mission so the first option for the booster will be the right one.
(there's a few others like this one)
storm fulcrum
i swore i had it pinned haha but i guess i didn't. i'll try that again thanks!

it's just LOVELY. at the minimum it makes approaching a target on a minty-fresh planet devoid of frustration.

you probably want to save-exit-reload now to make sure it sticks, then try again to interact with the logs... erm, if you can get to a place to save without a lot of trouble.
dapper condor
ok, so ireached the final destination for the expedition but i haven't claimed the vulture
haven';t finished it either. do i have to finish it for me to see the rewards in other saves?
indigo falcon
the end phase rewards should already be visible in other saves
I am not sure about the iron vulture, easiest way to check is go to the anomaly on another save and see what the qs vendor has!
dapper condor
aa, found it. have to talk to the dude not the terminal
indigo falcon
yes
remote thunder
hmm
we should have to actually claim the final exp reward to unlock it, but maybe not

That was my understanding too -- claimed at the expedition, available for other saves
Was I wrong the whole time? 😅

To redeem the expedition ships, players need some amount of nanites
That amount can vary based on the difficulty setting applied
faint mesa
I-I... never noticed
meager scroll
No actual nanites are getting deducted from your wallet

Aahhh, that would explain
meager scroll
It's just a measure to prevent people from yoinking shiny ships right as they enter Space Anomaly for 1st time
faint mesa
Is it recent?
meager scroll
Something like "you need to play a bit of the game before you grab Golden Vector / Utopia Speeder / etc"
faint mesa
I used to do this on any new expedition
meager scroll
Nah it was in place for some time now
faint mesa
Interesting, guess I missed it (and this time it wasn't possible to do on the expedition, so I didn't notice)

Examples that both Golden Vector and Utopia Speeder have this "mechanic" implemented
faint mesa
Certainly flew over my head when I claimed the Vulture on main save lol
remote thunder
No actual nanites are getting deducted from your wallet
they are now
faint mesa
I should probably play more attention when playing this game...

actually, i think that it's not a new change, one or two updates back they made that actually cost the nanites

I did not claim one of the phase 4 milestones in adrit, that expd save is still in expd mode. I have not claimed the iron vulture nor paid nanites for a copy. I am at the qs vendor in another save. it tells me I can get it. I have 66,418 nanites... it tells me I can buy it for 1400 nanites (I wonder if I have relaxed prices or something onthis save)... I now have 65,018 nanites, so it did deduct them. But I did NOT have to claim it/claim all the things on the expd save.
remote thunder
no that's standard prices

How do you find a communication tower for the first one on phase 2

What I posted is fragment of reward action for redeeming the ships on other saves outside of expedition

How do you find a communication tower for the first one on phase 2
option 1; have mp disabled
