[silver vessel]

and the pissy sentinels

[remote thunder]

in claim expedition rewards, nothing still left unclaimed? strange huh

[remote thunder]

i'm so used to "beating" them with cloaking device 😄

[cedar wind]

Yeah Idk guess this is just my life now lol. I've also noticed that my previous expedition rewards are missing too so that's kinda cool

I don't remember how but during expedition 12 I got a bunch of the eggs from previous expeditions and now they seem to be no where. But this could just be me being blind.

[silver vessel]

This was a neat expedition. The rewards made it worth while

[remote thunder]

did you double check through all pages? because the eggs would be in their correspondent prev expedition pages

[cedar wind]

Yeah I enjoyed it too, it was fun being more self reliant. A buddy of mine just started playing and jumped into the expedition for his first play through so he's in for a time when he gets out of it

[cedar wind]

Yeah they all say "Already redeemed" I even tried redeeming all items again

[remote thunder]

redeemed in that save, probably yeah

can only be claimed once per save

[cedar wind]

Yeah well I'll just live with it, it's not a big deal. Honestly would lvoe to have the robo dog back but meh. At least I'm not missing a ship.

[latent summit]

is the ship of the damned a thing you can claim on other saves?

from phase 4 conpletion

[remote thunder]

yes

it's a phase reward; phase and final exp rewards are always unlocked account wide

becoming available to claim, once per save, in the anomaly/quicksilver shop

[ashen shore]

Is anyone okay helping me out with that robotic life mission for the expedition?

[remote thunder]

have you seen this post <#nms-expedition message>?

[latent summit]

awesomeee ty

[latent summit]

should be on a planet in a system right next to the phase 5 rende system

[ashen shore]

Massive dub thanks

[remote thunder]

not the same location for all players, btw

[charred finch]

is there a trick to get to 1600u , up... i can't build a base that high so is there a planet type that has that high of mountains?

[remote thunder]

rdv1, 2, 3 and 5 have mountains tall enough to not even require a base

i dropped inside planet atmos on rdv5 and almost instantly bumped into the top of a mountain

that always gets me by surprise lol

[charred finch]

tyvm, will start looking

where do i see the rdv thing .. in the map?

[remote thunder]

if you haven't yet been to those systems yet, they will eventually be marked when you select the relevant milestone in each phase, so it's not one to worry about too much, as you'll eventually just complete it on expedition route

that said, here's a pinned post with all the system and planet names <#nms-expedition message> relevant to expedition 13 route

[silver vessel]

The ship of the damned is neat. My freighter fleet is badass. Have pirate friggates, normandy, laviathan, and a handfull of the normal ones. Looks amazing in formation around my pirate capital ship

The ship you get at the end of the whole thing is incredible as well

So long as the expeditions have unique ships and freighter in it, I'm all in

[remote thunder]

that reminds me, i haven't claimed ship of the damned on my main yet

[silver vessel]

They need to update the whole freighter mechanic. Just sending them on repetitive mission for resources is old. They have so much potential

[remote thunder]

https://www.nomanssky.com/orbital-update/

[silver vessel]

Havent experienced any of that so far. Its good they added to it, but they need to keep going with it.

[low light]

Yeah those encounters do seem pretty rare, think I've seen one so far

[silver vessel]

It would be neat to land your ship on one and tag along and assist with missions

Like a mini expedition

[polar solstice]

I feel like I've traversed this entire planet looking for the inverted mirror

[silver vessel]

Blend the mission that you go on in the nexus with the friggates

[low light]

Are you on foot? I find it's best to just fly low to find stuff

Cleared the waypoint one quickly that way too

[polar solstice]

I've been flying low for about 30-45 seconds. Get out, scan, repeat

[low light]

Just stay in the ship, fly low and slow

You'll cover much more ground

[polar solstice]

Thanks, not sure what I'm looking for though

[low light]

They're easy to spot from the sky

[polar solstice]

Dang, I've already destroyed 2 of those and haven't received anything

[low light]

Check your ship inventory, or maybe you got lucky and got two echo locators instead

[remote thunder]

have you tweaked options/difficulty/on foot combat?

[polar solstice]

No, just running normal

[remote thunder]

approach a resonator

aim at it, it will tell you what it will drop

[polar solstice]

Ok, thanks

[remote thunder]

np. if you're trying to find them on a planet with lots of mountains, ime you're making it harder on yourself

[polar solstice]

Appreciate it

[remote thunder]

gentle reminder: one can always mark the ship site with a base computer, go get the mats, and teleport back once ready to hyaline brain/probe subconscious ->get harmonic brain

[hollow nymph]

So I fixed up my crashed ship but it just keeps telling me to summon it from the quick menu

[gloomy moss]

YOOO

Rock living creature

[remote thunder]

those are cool, and not common to find so always a cool surprise imo

[trail iron]

fun fact, if you wait a few days for the game to firget you shot that rock, it'll "grow back" and will jump up the next time you shoot it too. The "living" aspect of the rock is tied to the location of the procgen

(that said, you're in expedition, and some of those planets have been reskinned, so it may not be as secure a statement for that planet)

[gloomy moss]

I just explored a derelict freighter for the first time

And I don't plan on doing it again

[violet trellis]

I enjoy the derelict freighters. There are different ones to explore. Not all of them have the same enemies inside, some even have no enemies at all.

I have the location of a derelict that gives out S-class freighter upgrades. Very useful.

[gloomy moss]

I completed like the entire phase 4 (minus rendezvous) kinda fast

[violet trellis]

I had great difficulty finding a sunken freighter, it just wouldn't show up. Took me over an hour in the Nautilon to find it.

[trail iron]

Nautillion has a radar, the radar can pinpoint and mark them for you

Mark it, exit, get in ship, fly to iy

[violet trellis]

Oh, I know that, I just couldn't find one... My bad luck, I guess.

[trail iron]

(if you'r ein a muliplayer team, some markers won't stay in place)

[violet trellis]

I was in a solo game. Currently doing the expedition on Switch..... Wish me luck!!

[remote thunder]

has to be in an inhabited system, uncharted system planets won't have sunken freighters (nor almost any buildings for that matter)

[royal jetty]

wHAT IS THE RIGHT ORDER?

opps caps srry

[gloomy moss]

I just got nanites

Idk if it matters

[violet trellis]

There is no order, you can choose only one.

[gloomy moss]

Also how can I get warp drive upgrades

[violet trellis]

Tech upgrade

[royal jetty]

what do they give again?

[gloomy moss]

I want to increase my jump range so I don't have to use as much fuel

[violet trellis]

TEch upgrades a re random techs. Bulkheads allow more storage. Nanites are, well, nanites.

[royal jetty]

so bulkheads best one

[gloomy moss]

You could get a c class cold hazard protection or s class hyperdrive upgrade

[royal jetty]

does it depend on how many nanites I get?

[gloomy moss]

I think

[violet trellis]

Apologies for my bad typing, I'm old and it's late here in the UK.

[gloomy moss]

Wait I wasn't replying to that btw

Imma just watch some old tutorial on how to max a hyperdrive

[remote thunder]

to be clear, fabricate tech upgrade at the engineering room in derelict freighters can only reward freighter upgrade modules

[gloomy moss]

It could be c class idk or a s class idk

[remote thunder]

in exp13 it's not going to be easy. you get 2 a-class hyperdrive modules from milestones - i'd probably recommend going for a sentinel ship, with that +600LY range granted by crimson core

[remote thunder]

the class of the freighter modules that drop is fixed per system, so if it dropped a c-class freighter module the first time, it will always be c-class

in exp13, what's important is completing the milestone, the rest doesn't really matter

[gloomy moss]

I don't have any hyperdrive things

[remote thunder]

complete phase 3 milestone 5

2 a-class hyperdrive modules

if you find a sentinel ship - that's a whole lot more range to start with

[gloomy moss]

WAITTT it went into the crashed ship

[remote thunder]

crimson core, sentinel's hyperdrive tech adds +600LY, while non-sentinel ship hyperdrive tech only adds +100LY

[gloomy moss]

Ok I got to the rendezvous system

That was fast

[winter rover]

So I've finished the expedition but haven't ended it yet (by going to the terminal). To get multiple Iron Vulture ship parts, what I have I do is break down the ship right now and I'll be able to get the ship again (by claiming it again) as long as I'm still in the expedition? Is that how it works?

[gloomy moss]

Is the hungering tendril one supposed to do a glitch thing

[winter rover]

I haven't encountered such bug

[gloomy moss]

Imma relog

Hopefully it will fix because I want those expedition rewards

I don't even know the rewards for phase 5

But I probably want them

And obviously the iron vulture

[remote thunder]

please see pinned post <#nms-expedition message>

[remote thunder]

nope

[gloomy moss]

No way it gave me 4 oreos

3*

I was thinking of wriggling tarts at first

[remote thunder]

that matches the reward, so save+reload worked (or did you full game restart)?

[gloomy moss]

I closed and reopened the game

[remote thunder]

gtk, ty

[gloomy moss]

I might complete the expedition today

I am no longer bored of nms

So now I feel like playing it for a while

[violet trellis]

Phase 5 is not difficult, some of the objectives in 5 I'd completed before I got Phase 1 done.

[gloomy moss]

Yeah I had a few in phase 5 completed before I got to it

Not alone and in the weeds

And the rest I bet are easy

And the hungering tendril one is relatively easy

[remote thunder]

yeah, you won't have much of a problem with phase 5

[gloomy moss]

Erm what da nipnip

[charred finch]

what planet types have synth life again?

[violet trellis]

iirc, the objective puts a marker on the galaxy map.

[charred finch]

ahh i think i see it now ty

[royal jetty]

The freighter I get as a rewaward is the class or look random ?

[violet trellis]

If you mean "frigate", it will be the ghost ship.

[winter rover]

Is it 100% certain I will still be able to synthesize the ship after copying it n times to get all the parts?

The ship itself looks really cool, I'd like to still have the entire thing

[royal jetty]

This one

[gloomy moss]

I am about to complete the expedition yay

One last shooting a space station right before you enter it

[violet trellis]

Sorry, I don't remember that particular one.

[winter rover]

Also I'm able to copy it as many times as I want, I have 3 times the same ship (name I suppose is the procedural one)

[remote thunder]

this should be a c-class system freighter

[remote thunder]

yes, and in addition it's also unlocked in the quicksilver shop, and those can be claimed once per save

[gloomy moss]

Wowzers

It's only the nanites and quicksilver that I care about though

[winter rover]

I don't have a button to come back to the expedition in the menu, only in the terminal

[remote thunder]

did you complete and claim all milestones, phase rewards and final exp reward already?

[winter rover]

Yes.. I shouldnt have?

I have all three parts of the iron vulture so if it ends itself its fine

[remote thunder]

no, not why i'm saying that, it's just because doing that probably takes away the option to return in Log tab, but.. is the option still available in pause/options tab?

[winter rover]

Oh I also have the Iron Vulture at the merchant so yea

That's all I see

[remote thunder]

ah but this isn't an expedition save anymore

[winter rover]

It says "resume expedition" in the terminal

[remote thunder]

so this is you currently in your primary

[winter rover]

yes

[remote thunder]

okay

since you already have the parts right, so if you go back into expedition, you can just summon anomaly again, and finish it at the exp terminus

[winter rover]

alright

[gloomy moss]

Idk what to do now that I completed the expedition

Wait

Cooking

[winter rover]

Oh nice, this bugged.. looks like I'll be doing the exp again after all

Title unlocked but not the banner

Niiiiice.. weee..

And I can't redo the expedition..

It's locked down.

Well, this killed my mood.

[remote thunder]

not available in the quicksilver shop?

[winter rover]

Oh. I'm dumb. It may just be that I need to unlock it manually.. even though the title unlocked itself automatically

[lusty slate]

If you're back on main, you have to claim them again.

[winter rover]

Aaaand the game froze on the main menu xD this happens occasionally and I have no idea why

Kind of a confusing concept to have the title get unlocked automatically but then you have to claim the banner manually, but oh well

Yea it's 3 am alright, I need rest

Haven't played in awhile and it shows, thanks either way

[remote thunder]

np, glad we could help 🙂 have a good night sleep

[winter rover]

exp was great

[remote thunder]

i thought so too

[winter rover]

They had a go with the whole meditation thing with this one, its neat

[coral steppe]

How do I get deuterium

[remote thunder]

refine silicate powder+dihydro

[coral steppe]

I don’t have a refiner

Is there a way I’m supposed to get one?

[remote thunder]

phase 1 milestone 2

then install personal refiner mk2

[coral steppe]

oh that’s what that thing is

thank you

I'd be the same if I had any exocraft stations but I left them all on some planet somewhere—I'm sure I'll find them again sometime. There can't be that many planets

[last olive]

I got shot down by sentinels and now my launch thrusters are damaged. I'm in the middle of nowhere with no deuterium (or tritium to make it). Is there a solution to this, or am I just screwed and have to restart the expedition?

[mellow badge]

you can make Deuterium using Silicate Powder from terrain manipulator while in expedition

@last olive forgot to click reply

[dawn nimbus]

For the signal booster finding a holo terminus thing, do you need to search for structures or does the other option (transmissions?) work better?

[vale knoll]

When you repair your multitool, what happens if you switch it out at a sentile pillar or trade it for one at the space anomaly, will it mess up the mission as the +3 and upgrade class could be cool on another multitool.

[vale knoll]

Transmitter

[dawn nimbus]

hmm it's weird because the instructions say to search for structures, but the options look way more like you need to find transmitters

[low light]

Do you have that mission selected as the active one?

[dawn nimbus]

yes

[low light]

That usually makes the signal booster find what your mission is tracking

[dawn nimbus]

hmm I have been pressing structures, and it sent me to two beacons and a drop pod lol

I realize my starting multi tool from the adrift expedition has four supercharged slots (even a square) although it is only upgraded to A class. Is this a bug, did anyone else experience this? Never saw four SCs below S class.

there seems to be no way to land on the damned frigate, so is it safe to assume it's probably invincible since you wouldn't be able to repair it?

[latent summit]

nah, dude, the landing pad spots where they ~usually~ are are literally RIPPED off of the frigate

not even there

[mellow turtle]

The animals on this planet I am on are so scared and look a bit scary

[thin tangle]

I believe the last one has bones on the same planet, if not very close to it.

Your expedition log will point out certain systems as well I believe, so you can just scan the planets once you've arrived at that marked system.

That's how I found the robotic fauna anyhow, pinged two blue stars for me.

[brisk sorrel]

rdv1 system worked just fine for me

[thin tangle]

That's true, I forgot about that ^

[lament steeple]

Average dissonant system in the expedition route

[jade helm]

what expedition give the sand worm egg??

[meager scroll]

Expedition 4 Emergence

[cobalt slate]

did they ever fix the thing where you can only duplicate whatever your primary ship was when you ended the expedition?

[remote thunder]

that's not something that needs fixing, that's working as intended afaik

[cobalt slate]

well there should have been some kind of warning : /

[remote thunder]

you can return to primary, copy, and return to expedition, change ship, return to primary again, copy a diff ship, etc

[cobalt slate]

wait how do i return to expedition? i didnt see that option

[remote thunder]

but not after finishing it

finishing it -- literally means finish it

[cobalt slate]

oh nvm then

[remote thunder]

sorry that you missed that info 😦

[cobalt slate]

yeah, now i cant make ships with the iron vulture stuff

[remote thunder]

well

there's still a way

but it would require the assistance of another player

[cobalt slate]

yeah theres probably not a lot of people chilling in the anomoly just giving out stacks of iron vulture parts

[remote thunder]

not quite what i had in mind

so you've got it unlocked acct wide.

that means that you can goto any save, present, or future, under this account, and goto anomaly/qs shop/claim exp rewards and claim it, then save.

then go salvage it for the first part. join friend, push part to their inv, reload restore point, scrap it again for the 2nd part, and so on.. once friend has all 3 parts, load your main save, join them, they push 3 parts back to you

[meager scroll]

Or use the service bot for item delivery

3 free uses, 3 types of parts

Set amount 10 each and you should be good lol

[remote thunder]

or that yeah, i just ended up completing the sentence almost for academical purposes at that point

[lyric roost]

Service bot doesn't have the vulture parts

Not yet

Unless they just updated the list

[sleek talon]

I'm currently running around a planet finding waypoints. If I drop the signal booster by a building and scan for buidings, will it just pick up the building i'm next to? or will it find undiscovered waypoints?

[meager scroll]

hmm you're right

[sleek talon]

Also I discovered a waypoint and it didn't update the total found for me 😦 anyone else had that?

[meager scroll]

Sorry, must have fucked something up, could have sworn I saw Mjstral talking about it

[remote thunder]

personally i didn't even use signal booster i just did a combination of flying low and slow+quick scanning with ship, and using minotaur+radar array quick menu to scan directly for buildings

[remote thunder]

are you still in the starter system perhaps?

will it just pick up the building i'm next to? or will it find undiscovered waypoints?
should do the latter

[sleek talon]

yeah i'm on the starter planet, but the last one I found before this on the same planet did update my total :/

[remote thunder]

not sure what's going on then

[sleek talon]

also I don't have any scanning capability on my ship

do I?

[remote thunder]

i wouldn't use my signal booster and my surge batteries for this

[remote thunder]

all ships do, just the quick scan pulse

[sleek talon]

oh

how will it show up?

shelter?

[remote thunder]

at first, unknown building marker

approach, check if it has a waypoint object

beacons, the tall poles, should also work

[sleek talon]

kk

I'll do that then 🙂

thanks!

[remote thunder]

look at your compass, head north or south, should eventually start getting hits

[sleek talon]

thx

found one 🙂

[frosty wing]

still locked out of phase 2 amidst the stars after going through a blackhole instead of the portal

i doubt theyd release an update for one person, so im really asking has anyone else experienced something like this lock out?

[latent summit]

could use a space station portal and go to your last system

[frosty wing]

ive been to and fro a few times like that

my issue is after going through the blackhole, i did not seem to use the space station to get back - i believe i used the portal in the nexus

i havent been able to "get" 4,000ly away - though have jumped over 20 times at 770ly each and still cant reset using local structures again like i did after the blackhole

[latent summit]

could go to your first system?

[frosty wing]

been to every space station ive used trying to get back to the blackhole space station

but can re double check the mission there again, in case

[latent summit]

ye

[frosty wing]

i just saw some asteroid mining ships (4 of them) outside the rev 3 space station!!!???

[frosty wing]

still cant restart from rev 3 to rev 1

[half nebula]

this expedition blows they just removed content and thought it would be fun

[latent summit]

i found it fun

[latent summit]

rev?

[half nebula]

every expedition so far has been a content showcase. they could have done some cool stuff like trapping you in a derelict or something. its literally a driving simulator now

[meager scroll]

Not every one tbh

Omega was a buffed up tutorial

Polestar was ... Polestar

[half nebula]

polestar was cool

content showcase

[meager scroll]

Utopia was ... interesting

There was nothing showcased with Polestar

Just visiting a bunch of planets for arbitrary metrics

[half nebula]

my point is every one has showcased new content as the backbone. this one is literally a nothing burger

[meager scroll]

No they did not

[half nebula]

and polestar showcased the new freighters

[meager scroll]

Well fair enough

Still, I dont think Adrift is a "nothing burger"

Expeditions are like mini stories, each with their quirk

And this time the quirk was "abandoned universe"

Yeah there wasn't any new groundbreaking gameplay mechanic introduced apart from looking up in the sky for 60 seconds

[half nebula]

they literally removed content and thought it would be more fun than anything else, all im saying is they could have done something cool like locking you onboard a derelect or something

[meager scroll]

But neither did previous expeds do something special

[half nebula]

yeah ik but this one REMOVED content. like i said before

[meager scroll]

removed what

[half nebula]

🤦‍♂️

[meager scroll]

Come on, removed what?

[wraith junco]

Npc

[meager scroll]

NPCs? Lifeforms in general?

Abandoned systems were in the game since day 1

If you'd like you could spend your whole gameplay in these alone

Abandoned Space Anomaly? Well welcome back to early game

[half nebula]

yeah but nobody does cus they blow

[meager scroll]

Where SA consisted of Nada, Polo, weapon cabinet and a terminal, that's it

[wraith junco]

Removing all npc for exp is just a quirk. No content was removed

[latent summit]

that was the freighter update, yeah?
glad I did that one

[meager scroll]

I aint seeing nobody complaning about removing NPCs, in fact most outlets are praising Adrift

[half nebula]

its a dumb quirk, the expedition is just a driving simulator theres nothing cool or unique going on

[meager scroll]

Meanwhile lets go back in time 1 year and see what people had to say about Utopia lol

[wraith junco]

Freighter expedition yeah

[meager scroll]

If you call adrift a "driving simulator" and not calling Polestar the same then I dunno what to tell you

[half nebula]

polestar actually did something unique

adrift is literally a vanilla start but worse

[latent summit]

yeah it's a neat quirk

[half nebula]

they could release an expedition where you run in circles for 30 minutes and people would think its good

[latent summit]

the name is true anyways
"adrift" and you complaining you drifting

like come on bro

[half nebula]

they could at least make the new faction the main focus but they dont. they just made an expedition that has no content based around it

[latent summit]

k?

[meager scroll]

Well you won't find Autophage even in abandoned systems

And we already had expedition for this story line (Singularity)

But yeah I agree, i'd like to see some conclusion to Autophage arc, even if another exped

[half nebula]

if i gave you a burger with no patty and said its special because its worse. would you still be happy with it?

[latent summit]

they're just working on other things rn

[meager scroll]

Fuck yeah free food

[latent summit]

xD

[meager scroll]

How do you get to decide what I find worse

You say X was amazing, I say X was doo-doo

[half nebula]

all im saying is if there wasnt cosmetics the expeditions would have almost no player activity because of how grindy and bad they are now.

[meager scroll]

But at the end of the day, we're gonna finish both

(x) doubt

Check on reddit how many people ask for a game mode like this

[meager scroll]

And the abandoned universe perspective brings a bit of new gameplay to the table

[wraith venture]

Discuss ideas there. We're not trying to shut down discussion of ideas as long as it's civil and constructive. This just isn't the channel for it.

[half nebula]

any tips on finding the "robotic life" cant seem to find them for the life of me its driving me insane

[wanton frigate]

check the pins - there's a guide for a repeatable process to find them

Blue stars, far as I remember. Haven't got that far.

[half nebula]

ah nice

[meager scroll]

Red star systems

Those have much higher chance to be uncharted

[wraith venture]

see the pins in this channel: #nms-expedition message for a guide on how; if you want to go to systems others have found, check the pins in here for specific systems players have documented

[meager scroll]

Dunno why HG opted for mentioning blue systems in the tooltip

[half nebula]

thats why ive been on a wild goose chase

[indigo falcon]

best guess: they wanted players to go through the whole routine of installing all three drives for all coloured star systems

[half nebula]

i actually fucking hate this

[indigo falcon]

it sounds like you need to take a break from it; if you're not enjoying it, put the game down and takea breather, it's what I do anyhow

[half nebula]

true

[thick umbra]

I guess HG wanted that a player do all the Hyperdrive updates
With that and from your starter planet the Galaxy map will you lead straight to a blue system.. just a small warp away

[meager scroll]

Iiiiiiii don't think that logic holds up

[half nebula]

i skipped that system, went around it

[meager scroll]

Cause larger % of players would go for milestones in order

So by the time they get to that milestone, they are past the starting system

[thick umbra]

can always teleport back .. or teleport to RDV1 .. here its a bigger warp

[indigo falcon]

certainly all less experienced players (and even the more experienced will look at the milestones and say "oh we get the drive blueprints in milestone X, gotta do that before..." etc)

[mellow badge]

im glad for the system names for the rdv planets in the pins, I was able to find rdv1 to get Ancient bones for that milestone, I was far enough away it didnt show up normally, I was able to put a waypoint on it :P

[indigo falcon]

this is why I go to the space station in every system I visit in expedition, (except when there isn't one, i.e. uncharted systems :-P), so I can get back there quickly

you never know when one of the planets will have something you discover you need

later...

[mellow badge]

I like the final reward ship, reminds me of Halo or something

[half nebula]

can you land on it?

[indigo falcon]

you can land with it. it's a starship (not a frigate/freighter)

[half nebula]

no i mean the ghost friggate

[mellow badge]

sadly, I found you cannot land on the ghost frigate like you can others

[half nebula]

sad day

[mellow badge]

the landing pads are broken

[indigo falcon]

ah. nope, can't land, and I assume it can't be harmed either

[half nebula]

would be cool if you land and its got ghost crew on it

would be cool if any frigate had visable crew but eh

[thick umbra]

because it cannot be damaged .... like the Normandy

[mellow badge]

oh, didnt really figure that it was for repairing, too bad cant build base parts on the frigates too

[half nebula]

i mean you can.....

but the game dosent like it

[mellow badge]

I use Beyond Base Building so I can build houses on my Freighter

[half nebula]

i use glitch building in vanilla

my base rn ( still working on it )

[mellow badge]

dunno what glitch building is

[half nebula]

putting a base computer on the freighter by hopping one up from low orbit ( a bit more complicated than that )

[low light]

Use your ship! You fly much faster than you run!

[sleek talon]

hahaha

I was waiting for that comment 😛

[low light]

I'd still use the signal booster for the ruins one though

[sleek talon]

I've found that if you find the observatories on the starter planet and activate them, they ping the ruin on the toxic planet. Got two that way.

[low light]

Huh. I must have done that too because I had one ruin early on and wasn't sure when it happened

[sleek talon]

I'm annoyed that distress signals don't disappear from your scan once you've been to the location and activated it

makes finding a ship harder if you keep going back to one you've been to ¬¬

[ocean gorge]

Using known “tricks” in building that let you do some nice things, such as resize stuff that normally can’t be resized, place objects that normally can’t be placed, and so on. There’s great videos by Beeblebum on YT. Does take some practice

@mellow badge

That’s what glitch building is

[low light]

You might have to go into your log and cancel the mission from it if it's there

[sleek talon]

it's not a mission, it's the little icons that you can see when you scan.

[lament steeple]

There was a base during the expedition that had a model-sized version of the basic stuff like storage box, portal etc. on top of a table

[remote thunder]

modding, glitch building (!faq-glitchbuilding in #bot-spam )

[sleek talon]

for the abandonment task, does any planet count?

will there be a crashed ship on all planets you visit or is it only specific ones?

[blazing fossil]

Only in Charted systems I believe

[sleek talon]

kk thx

[sleek talon]

found one 🙂

I just used the signal booster in the end

[wanton raft]

Sounds painful! 😉

[sleek talon]

haha

[valid roost]

Yh so just wondering but did anyone else have the ship of the damned randomly appear during phase 2 only for it to leave?

[blazing fossil]

Yup

Intended

[valid roost]

Ah alr

[sleek talon]

I didn't see it 😦

[mellow badge]

was heading to a rdv, and my quest got switched because someone had did the Derelict Freighter nearby and it decided I should do that quest instead

[thick umbra]

It just want to say : You can count on me

[sleek talon]

I'm kinda new to this game, but I don't see any option to build stuff in my base other than basic walls. Am I missing something? In the base game there was a computer I could interact with to purchase blueprints

[meager scroll]

The thing with expeditions is that most of the time they don't follow your regular gameplay progression

Think of them as their own self-contained stories / spin-offs, usually with some quirks / mechanics differentiating them from normal gameplay

The theme of this expedition is "abandoned universe" so maybe it somehow affects base building aswell

There is no milestone requiring players to establish a base so I wouldn't worry about that

Focus on the milestones the game tells you to do, so you can get the rewards from this exped

[sleek talon]

I'm at the milestone to repair a spaceship. I want to build a base next to it with a teleporter so I can ping about getting resources. I've set up a base computer but I don't see any way of buying blueprints. I've done phase 1 and 2. Is there an unlock I'm missing?

[pliant terrace]

Have you purchased the blueprints at the anomaly?
Than you should be able to build at your base

[sleek talon]

Oh you get them at the anomaly?

[pliant terrace]

Are you in the expedition or the regular game?

[sleek talon]

I didn't see any vendors up there, they were all empty

Expedition

[pliant terrace]

Don't bother with a base in the expedition, this expedition is an empty universe without any help, like the vanilla game back in the time

I finished the expedition in 15 hours without any base and no rush

[sleek talon]

but I wanted to have a small base with a teleporter so I could go back and forth with supplies to fix the ship. I get that I don't need a base, but surely I should be able to build one?

other people have cos I can go visit them

[low light]

Don't even need to upgrade ship or exosuit either

I saved all the inventory upgrades to take to my main save, think I ended up with 14-15 ship inventory slots

[pliant terrace]

I did the same, just go at the end of the expedition and put all the stuff do you want to take to your base game into the expedition terminal in the anomaly

[sleek talon]

so the blueprints are for sale in the Anomaly in the expedition?

[pliant terrace]

Just fly to the space station and use the teleporter there

[pliant terrace]

Normally yes, just land at the anomaly take the left stairs up and turn left again there are some vendors

[low light]

You need to use these https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Buried_Technology_Module

Which I believe you just get like 60 of them from the milestones at some point, I had two full stacks without digging any up

[sleek talon]

I found one that wasn't even buried 😄 it was just floating in the air ^_^

okay I have a load of those. How do I use them?

[low light]

Trade those for blueprints. The computer you were talking about that you can build has only the basic essentials

[pliant terrace]

No Man's Sky SPACE ANOMALY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl6QM6Tx9tI
At 07:28

[low light]

Like smee said there's a terminal on the anomaly, it's top floor in the back

Outside the expedition there's a bunch of vendors back there

[sleek talon]

okay thanks i'll take a look 🙂

[indigo falcon]

I got many many blueprints at the anomaly, since the construction research station still works fine. so I was able to put together a nice little base for any visitors that might come through

[pliant terrace]

just get the Indium Hyperdrive on the anomaly for your spaceship, you need it later

[indigo falcon]

the synthesis lab (for crafting various specialty items) is also functional, right across from the construction research terminal in that large circular area, once again there's nothing you are required to have

[meager scroll]

FYI you don't need the Indium Drive

For mechanical fauna visit the red star systems

[indigo falcon]

the blueprint is given as a milestone reward. you cannot get this via the anomaly, since it would be via the npc with starship upgrades, and none of the npcs are present

[meager scroll]

Those have a higher chance to be uncharted

[pliant terrace]

Damm 😦
I allways take one on the expeditions

[indigo falcon]

you can bring one over from your main save before starting (or copy over the active ship from your main save if you can scrape together 2.8k nanites), but it's not needed

[sleek talon]

so if I used the upgrade slots in the expedition I couldn't carry them over to the main save? could I do a new expedition and then bring them across?

[pliant terrace]

You have at the expedition terminal on the anomaly two areas. Tech slots and inventory slots you can put any tech item and inventory item in there and transfer them in to the expedition or the base game befor you finish the expedition

[pliant terrace]

Just play the expedition, you DON'T need any of that. I bring most of the time some materials and the hyperdrive upgrade to save some time

You can earn the upgrade solts in the base game, so don't worry.

I just didn't need them in the expedition, I just used the inventory of my spaceship and the submarine and had more than enough room

[sleek talon]

kk thx

I found the base stuff thanks 🙂

[wraith junco]

How to get survey device in exp? I forgot to take it from main save

I think u can only get survey device in exp from random tech find or within mt that u find.

[remote thunder]

memory fragments from those milestones might have it iirc

[wraith junco]

I Already used them .

[remote thunder]

not sure, but maybe distress beacons near crashed ships? there's a tech_reward list there, that's how i got my eco scanner, but idk if surv device is there

[wraith junco]

I Can find graves in exp right?

[runic dagger]

yes

[remote thunder]

yeah

[latent summit]

can anyone confirm if the new frigate is invulnerable in freighter expeditions

[wanton raft]

What new frigate?

[latent summit]

the doomed one

[wanton raft]

Oh, yeah. I don't know.

I assume it will be, but I kind of hope not. Would be cooed to have to go on board and pardon me excuse me past ghosts.

[wraith junco]

Welp. I give up on searching for survey device. No 1Bil units/24h farm this time.

[remote thunder]

should be as there's no way to dock with it from what i understand

[latent summit]

LETS GOOOOO!!

hell yeah

[violet trellis]

There is no way to interact with the cursed frigate..... yet.

[runic dagger]

the no fuel cost is nice

[violet trellis]

It is, yes. But the lack of special "drops", like you get with the organic freighters, is a bit of a shame.

[wanton raft]

What ya mean? I'm drawing a blank at the moment on the "drops".

[violet trellis]

Well, the organic frigates give you specialized drops when you send them out on expeditions from the freighter. Whereas the cursed frigate doesn't.

[wanton raft]

What are those specialized drops? I hadn't noticed.

[violet trellis]

Uogrades for the organic ships, mainly.

[wanton raft]

Ah, makes sense.

As of this last release (I think), frigate expeditions now call you back and ask you questions. So far I've gotten a drilling question in one case and in another been asked for help in some combat.

On the combat one I couldn't get there in time.

[remote thunder]

i've been asked to warp through a wormhole

[violet trellis]

I've noticed them too. Nice change.

[remote thunder]

agreed

[wanton raft]

In the case of getting asked to help with combat, what's the easy way to get there fast.

[violet trellis]

Pass. Not seen that one.

[wanton raft]

They only give you 5 minutes to get there and I was on a PS4 and it takes 2-3 minutes for one jump.

[violet trellis]

Don't know if it's the same for you, but my freighter has a longer jump range than my ship.

[wanton raft]

On the PS4 the answer for help will always be no I guess. On the PC I may try, but still have problems locating the system they are in.

[remote thunder]

sounds like that's something that needs tweaking

"5min" i mean ofc

[violet trellis]

Does seem a bit excessive... Probably 30 seconds, at worse, on my PC.

[wanton raft]

Especially for systems with hard drvies.

[violet trellis]

I'll have no chance when I play on my Switch, then. LOL

[wanton raft]

It's a spinning hard drive thing for the most part.

[violet trellis]

Going off topic here, but could you swap it out for an SSD?

[wanton raft]

I may some time, but it's not the priority.

[violet trellis]

Understood.

[wanton raft]

It's getting more and more painful to play the PS4 version. I do really appreaciate how HG hass supported it though! Rather than upgrade the PS4, I may get a deep discount PS5 some day if that ever happens.

As the internet continues to go to hell, I expect that some day the old consoles and physical games just might be ... worth more.

[drowsy thicket]

Lets say I start a new Normal Save.
I don't get Freighter.
I start the Expedition.
Do I get to keep the Freighter I get at the end of the expedition?

[dim barn]

Still sad, can't set up a mineral excrator for Cursed Dust

[grim fossil]

Your freighter can’t be copied over from expedition to your regular save

[wanton raft]

Which of these are true/false? 1) you can only pass one MT to the expedition, 2) you can only pass one ship to the expedition, 3) you can pass pack any amount of inventory and money from the expedition before you end it, 4) you can pass back multiple ships from the expedition (primary ship one at a time), 5) you can pass pack multiple MTs from the expedition (primary MT one at a time as long as that MT is not in the main save).

[wanton raft]

Curses! It's a shame that dustant work!

[warm sigil]

Would be cool to have an abandoned freighter in a normal save.

[ashen shore]

How do I complete "A still small voice"

[hidden flame]

you land on a planet, wait till night and look up to the sky, a timer will show on the bottom right and you just look up for 60 sec

[dim barn]

I didnt think we got glyphs in this exped, to use a portal to get there

[median ember]

We did not?

Dang

I suppose I should delete it then.

[dim barn]

Yeah D: I have all steps finished, except to click finish, and have zero glyphs

I think there is one more exped that doesnt give glyphs as well, most the others give them

[little knoll]

The expedition has been rough, are the rewards worth it? Anything really good at the end?

[median ember]

That is the only mission that is remaining in my list

[dim barn]

I like the ship at the end, and frigate seems nice

[blazing fossil]

You can see all rewards in the pins

[dim barn]

I burned through this one in 5 hours or less

twice, lol

[ashen shore]

ghost in machine is that a portal?

[little knoll]

@blazing fossil which one? I scrolled thru them and there's no screenshot

[blazing fossil]

#nms-expedition message

There’s a link

To see image rewards

[little knoll]

Amazing thanks a lot

[keen stone]

What on earth has happened to my analysis visor

[blazing fossil]

Press D-Pad left

That’s the mission scanner

It points you to mission objectives

[meager scroll]

I mean yeah but still the screen should not look like this

If possible, try verifying game files integrity

[blazing fossil]

Ohhh I did not see the blur at the top

[keen stone]

There is no such option on Xbox

There's also a smaller effect like this on the bottom of the screen when I'm in my ship

[quiet fjord]

Hello! Question: If I accept the reward from the 13 expedition: Derelict (Gain free control of a Freighter) Do I loose my Free freighter pick in normal gameplay?
I have not yet claimed my free Freighter in normal game

[indigo falcon]

no you do not

you started the expedition from an existing save I take it, @quiet fjord ?

[quiet fjord]

Yes

[indigo falcon]

yeah the version of the save you run on now is separate but you will be able to send back some tech and inv, and claim on the main save copies of the active multitooland ship from the expd version of the save (for nanites) at the end

the freighter can't come back to the main save and does not impact it in any way

(also it is required to be able to claim another of the rewards)

[quiet fjord]

Thank you very much Apergos!

[violet trellis]

How reliable is it to transfer your freighter base to another freighter?

[indigo falcon]

um. sorta kinda, last I checked. save your game. make a backup copy even.

[wraith junco]

U needed to leave any item in the freighter general cargo slots to get transfer base confirmation notification if i remember right

[indigo falcon]

that's I think not true now but it can still be odd

[sleek talon]

I'm on the crashed ship task and I've reloaded my save and the ship I was repairing has disappeared

do they not stay?

[indigo falcon]

they should, do you have multiplayer on? if so you will want to turn it off

someone might have claimed it

@sleek talon

[sleek talon]

ahhh that's annoying :/

kk thx

so set multiplayer to disabled then?

[indigo falcon]

uh huh for the crashed ship milestone, for others you should be ok (hmm mostly 😉 )

[sleek talon]

kk thx

now to find another one! luckily I hadn't started fixing it

[indigo falcon]

you'll probably need to save-exit-reload after that

[sleek talon]

kk

[solemn bane]

If you had started repairing it then you own it, right? If so you should be able to summon it via the quick menu, or access it on your freighter

[sleek talon]

I was gathering the parts to repair it, I never actually repaired any of it. I didn't realise it would disappear

[coral steppe]

Is the expedition worth doing?

[indigo falcon]

what makes an expedition worth it for you? the story? the phase/expedition rewards? something else?

I can try to give you my opinions on any of the aspects of it, from my playthrough, depending on what info you would find useful

@coral steppe

[coral steppe]

I would appreciate that

[indigo falcon]

which aspects do you want to hear more about?

[coral steppe]

I don’t really know, I just getting back into the game but don’t know whether to do the expedition or just jump into a save

[indigo falcon]

oh I see

well then info about the rewards might be more helpful for you

[shell kettle]

During my first Adrift run I got a starter multitool with 4 SC slots. Is that normal?

[indigo falcon]

it can be, are those slots in the same position as the active mt on the save you started from (orloaded just before the expedition)?

[shell kettle]

Yes, so this can be replicated?

Anything I need to do or just make sure I have the relevant MT equipped?

[indigo falcon]

@coral steppe at the end of the expedition you can claim an S class hauler. now you may say "huh, a hauler, whatever" but this is not your grandgek's hauler. It can hover in atmosphere and has a very unique look.

[indigo falcon]

just have the mt equipped I think

[coral steppe]

ig I will try to finish it fast

[indigo falcon]

@Stormy you can see a picture of the thing in the hello games announcement https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/05/expedition-thirteen-adrift/

there's also a very nice frigate you'll get

nice as in good stats, can't be damaged, cool appearance

[sleek talon]

when you finish an expedition can you only transfer to one of your other saves or can you send to every one you have?

[indigo falcon]

you can transfer items or make copy of the expd active mt/ship only on the main save from which you started the expedition; you can however claim each end phase/end expd reward once for any existing saves and for any saves you might create in the future too

[sleek talon]

I'm sorry I don't understand that 😦

I'm thinking of using the expedition rewards for my permadeath run, however if I die will I lose the rewards or can I keep claiming them?

[thick umbra]

you can claim them in any save...

[sleek talon]

thanks!

[indigo falcon]

if you die in permadeath, that save is gone. you will create a new save to start a new run. that save will also be able to claim all end phase rewards plus end expedition rewards the one time.

[granite spindle]

What is this? It seems almost like a player base.

[thick umbra]

it is a player base

[granite spindle]

Are those new parts?

Never seen half the things used to build it.

[thin tangle]

Some people still possess saves that contain the legacy parts, also glitch building is a thing so you can almost create new parts using that.

[granite spindle]

I know the legacy parts, have them on one of my saves but didn't know they could be used for stuff like this. There is like this tube with red lights and stuff I've never seen though. Still an impressive build, I thought it was a new structure.

[indigo falcon]

I think with mods you may be able to get access to those old parts as well

[wraith junco]

HG is so cruel. 😭 they wont let me farm cursed dust in peace.

It has even S power spot

[indigo falcon]

go do gold instead, those should work fine

I know it ain't the same but still

[wraith junco]

I have gold farm. Wanted to have spice farm. Who controls the spice , controls the universe.

[blazing fossil]

How many of the books have you read?

[wraith junco]

Not much.

[blazing fossil]

Ah, won’t spoil anything then

[indigo falcon]

hard to argue with that. but it looks like... hg controls the spice 😛

[wraith junco]

Yeah...

For now....

[indigo falcon]

I guess they did that, to prevent people setting up huge farms there, given that those hotspots probably go away after the expedition

[wraith junco]

Cursed dust will probably change to other element like in exp 4.

[quaint urchin]

Well, this is frustrating... I spent the better part of 3 days searching for a Class A Sentinel ship. Then when I claimed Fathoms Below it said it was upgraded to S-Class, but afterwards it was still an A.

I reported it, but dang!

[indigo falcon]

I wonder what people see now on those worlds in locations where the deposits are (using planetary coords to check)

[wraith junco]

Only 1 way to find out

[indigo falcon]

yeah, someone with more patience than me can check 😛 (kinda tired of planetary coords at this point)

[grizzled jasper]

So i just started the new Expediton Adrift thing, so you are starting the game from the beginning again?

[sleek siren]

you are able to launch the expedition from your previous save

in case you want to bring some things over

Expeditions starts you up with a few more pieces of tech and unlocks than a new game

[grizzled jasper]

is there something kind of reward or something you unlock in the expedition?

[desert pollen]

How did you do the mission "is Alive"

[wraith junco]

In expedition tab there is series of tasks to do . Each gives rewards. When u complete whole phase u can claim reward that is unlocked accout wide.

[grizzled jasper]

kk tyvm

[sleek talon]

How to find robofauna (Phase 3, "It's Alive")

It's in the pin 😄

[wraith junco]

[desert pollen]

Yeah that one

What pin

[sleek talon]

pinned messages

at the top

[desert pollen]

Oh ok I found it

[dim barn]

@wraith junco I feel your pain

I even subbed a ticket for it, lol

[grizzled jasper]

does anything happen to the rewards of the expedition if you lower down some of difficulty settings?

[polar solstice]

Friendly reminder to make sure PvP is off for the expedition. Had some dude light me up for no reason

[wraith junco]

No

[dim barn]

There were some issues some people had though. If they had ground combat off, it wasn't counting the Larval Egg pickups, I think?

It was something to that effect, so if something seems to not be working if you turn some things off, that will be a good thing to check first

[indigo falcon]

yes, that's the one: the 16 eggs won't register if you have on foot combat set to none, it must at least be "minimal" for that specific milestone

[grizzled jasper]

Do you get a like cool new ship or multi tool for doing th expedition adrift ?

[indigo falcon]

yes, a very cool hauler and also a great frigate

[grizzled jasper]

kk thx

[sleek talon]

when looking for a crashed ship, is it worth holding out for an A class?

or will they always be C class?

[hollow shore]

Odds for class depend on the system you are in

[sleek talon]

cool thanks!

[hollow shore]

If it is a ship you really like a lot (looks), I would likely see if it will come flying into the Space Station or a Trade Post with better class. Getting it at A class is not always bad, to then later upgrad it to S-class yourself. C-class is in my opinion very low to actually want to get when keeping it

[royal tundra]

So I have a quest to install the survey device, but I can’t install it. Does no appear in the multi tool slot

[maiden swift]

is there a use for the ancient bones I gathered? they take up slots I'd like to have back

this is a very fun expedition, btw

[formal island]

You can turn them into the planetary index, but Ill be honest its not worth it... I just deleted them...lol

[wraith junco]

Bones are easy money

[maiden swift]

but where to sell, @wraith junco ?

[wraith junco]

Space station

[maiden swift]

oh, they don't show up on the sell list when i go to galactic trade terms

[wraith junco]

Or other trade terminals

[maiden swift]

@formal island thanks. I don't know about the planetary index and will google that!

[wraith junco]

If u have them in ship u need to change tabs

[maiden swift]

ah, that really could be it, @wraith junco

[indigo falcon]

just unpin this on the log page, should take care of it

[royal tundra]

Yeah but still can’t install 🤷‍♂️

[indigo falcon]

if you don't have the recipe, you won't be able to install it; the recipe can't be obtained at the anomaly from the usual npc, since no npcs are present in this expedition

[royal tundra]

Yeah I don’t even understand how it spawned

[quaint urchin]

Did you happen to find a pre-packaged Survey Device? If so, it should be in your inventory somewhere...

[royal tundra]

I’ll look, thanks

[lime plume]

Most likely they bought the electromagnetic generator recipe, or the mineral/gas extractor recipe. Because you can't effectively place either of those down without a survey scanner, and you can buy their recipes from the anomaly.

[brisk junco]

lets goooo

oh! there's a great pin on this channel

[tidal pollen]

oh nice

[maiden swift]

I found two blue systems with robotic lifeforms the hard way and then found the pin

[tidal pollen]

yeah I've been jumping from blue to blue for a while now but at least a sentinel interceptor said hi to me in the meanwhile

[maiden swift]

in both systems some nice traveler labeled planets as having robotic life

[tidal pollen]

oh this pin is way more clarifying

[maiden swift]

yeah, it is very helpful

[tidal pollen]

thank you 🙏

[maiden swift]

you're welcome! enjoy the expedition!

[fierce aspen]

If you use the expedition terminal to start the expedition from main save, when expedition is over, do you also get to keep the freighter? I'm thinking probably not.

[maiden swift]

I would assume so. it should be merged into the save.

my expedition save became a regular save when I finished the expedition

and npcs appeared

[fierce aspen]

Thanks. It's peaked my interest, I'll science it, (I have a 2nd steam account with NMS on it, it's main save hasn't even left the first starter system., LOL)

[maiden swift]

This is the first expedition I've finished and now I'm wishing I had all of the past expeditions to play

[cold tulip]

You will most likely get to do the ones form this year in December.

They have done re-runs in the past

[maiden swift]

I hope that happens!

[brittle totem]

Anyone also isn't being able to claim the frigate of the expedition? I'm getting this error

On foot at the planet, on starship, on freighter...

[trail iron]

platform? expedition or outside expedition? in multiplayer or no?

[brittle totem]

Steam, expedition, MP setting on but without others in session

[trail iron]

Odd. it seems to be treating it as a living frigate

Some people have reported trouble with their freighter in general inside expedition; Have you got a command room? I would suggest building a command room, move to an unoccupied system,a nd re-summon your freighter while flying your ship

[brittle totem]

I did, oddly enough it did vanish. I'll place a save point there when I relog

Albeit unlikely I updated a mod that might have caused that

[brittle totem]

That's a nice suggestion, I'll try it!

Turns out it was an outdated .lua I used to build a mod >.>

[faint pelican]

What systems actuallly have wheat?

[indigo falcon]

all of them. airless/dead planets won't but the rest will (hmm not sure about exotic worlds, can't remember)

[faint pelican]

Thank you again. I did find it. And thanks to you finished my first DF with no stress. Much appreciate your help. Expedition done. 🙂

[low light]

I don't think it does that if you start it from a previous save though like they said

I'd be kinda pissed if my freighter was replaced by the expedition one

[ashen shore]

hello expedition still here?

[indigo falcon]

that's right; if you start from a pre-existing save, you get the option to send back resources and tech from the expd version of the save, and you can buy copies of the active expd-equipped multitool and ship on the main save

but freighters do not transfer over.

[indigo falcon]

See Pins in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam

[ashen shore]

yay

[indigo falcon]

still over a month to get it done 🙂

[ashen shore]

do we go thru the terminal like in the omega

[coarse palm]

any tips on things I should bring?

[ashen shore]

okay we go thru the terminal

[indigo falcon]

always, that is how you start from an existing save.

[indigo falcon]

well I would uh... read the pin on "not so spoilery tips on Adrift" in here and see what you think you might want that will be hard to get 😉

[coarse palm]

is this overkill or uhhh is it fine

[ashen shore]

as soon as i got to my ship i found someone just killing others lmao

[indigo falcon]

ah yeah, rule of thumb always: pvp off as soon as possible

[indigo falcon]

that is ummm a LOT of stuff. don't forget some tech items. and don't forget you cannot claim any of that stuff until after you get to the anomaly which is after the first warp jump

[coarse palm]

I would probably focus on exosuit tech since like, I've heard people can get multitool + ship back

so probably the most important part is exosuit since you can't exactly farm it with warping to stations

[indigo falcon]

you run a derelict so some nice X hazard prot or a cold prot module could be handy, depends on you (I did with only the C class one they give you blueprints for at some point, and it was ok)

[coarse palm]

Well, call me over prepared but I'm ready

[low light]

Did you already go

[calm flax]

what is a good system for ancient bones?

[indigo falcon]

rendezvous 1, planet sadene vi (frozen)

[calm flax]

Thank you. I thought one of the rendezvous planets was ancient bones apparently I overlooked that planet.

[coarse palm]

I did

would say the hardest part is the first planet

[low light]

Was going to suggest bringing an indium drive to save time

[coarse palm]

I did it put it there lol

[sleek talon]

Where do I find Wiring Looms in the expedition?

[wanton frigate]

buy them on a station or a planet-bound trading post

[sleek talon]

I'm at a galactic terminal and they're not showing up for sale :/

[wanton frigate]

Then you're at the wrong terminal 😄 Find another. And another. Won't take long.

they are available on most of 'em

[sleek talon]

ahh interesting, I went to a spacestation and it was showing there. Do different galactic terminals have different items for sale?

[wraith junco]

Terminals on planet dont have looms

[wanton frigate]

Yes, and I've found the Station terminals are a bit more reliable too

[sleek talon]

well... that seems... odd

why not have them all the same?

[wraith junco]

Planet terminals sell more "local" stuff

[wanton frigate]

Why not have every planet the same? Variety is the spice of life. Space spice!

[sleek talon]

I guess 😄

thanks!

[wraith junco]

Cant make spice farm... sean wont let me 😭

[indigo falcon]

curses! ( 😛 )

[wanton frigate]

Wait a minute... is there a cursed dust subtext here I missed while I was sulking for the 1st week of the expedition waiting for the switch patch?

[indigo falcon]

you did the expedition, yes?

[wanton frigate]

I'm kind of on Phase 2... in so far as anyone sticks to a single phase in an expedition

Have I stumbled on a spoiler? I'll just retreat to a corner and get back to looking for activated copper.

[indigo falcon]

no it's not a spoiler. you will have seen the cursed dust deposits on the starter world. that resource is worth a lot of units, so some people brought over a survey device from their main save to try to set up a mining operation.... it does not work. hg thought of this 😛

(note that the specific resources is not there in regular mode, so that when the expedition is over, your base would be there but any mining operation you set up would not be working properly at that point... so maybe this is hg's attempt to warn people off, dunno)

[wanton frigate]

Ah! I did grab some but didn't think of trying to sell it. Or snort it.

[meager scroll]

Cursed Dust does not spawn normally on planets, it's done with a special override on the executable level

You can find CD on regular game modes as reward from outlaw mission boards

Just not in quantities that would justify the search for it

[wanton frigate]

So you can at least send a bunch of it back after the expedition, and live like Tony Montana for a while?

[indigo falcon]

I admit to digging up a deposit and using that to bootstrap my starting units in this run

you'd have to send back large quantities, probably not worth the timei to dig it up manually, hence why people try to set up automated mining

[wanton frigate]

Either you're underestimating my poverty in Normal mode, or the Dust is no more valuable than any other mineral 😄 I guess I'll send a little back just to remind me and to take up space in storage, like everything else!

Do you get the blueprints for the Sub's battery? I don't seem to be able to build one, and I'm running awfully low on power.
Also, how do the pros avoid losing their actual ship and getting stuck on a waterlogged planet when claiming sunken wrecks from the sea bed?

[wraith junco]

1k per 1. So its worth digging. Some just want to go way overboard. Once u hit that 1Bil farm its not the same anymore with "normal " farms .

[indigo falcon]

I would not drive the sub out anywhere, just use the scanner, pinpoint the wreck, pick up the geobay and fly out to near the wreck, sometimes you can even land on a protruding part

otherwise just swim out to it

put a save beacon near the main ship before you go looking, if you want to claim something from underwater

you can also just "summon other ship" once you get on land eh

[wanton frigate]

I had to land a few thousand U away, because there's no land for miles. And I can't remember what direction I came from 😄
Summoning another ship requires something for it to land on, nav data and launch fuel - you're giving me way too much credit. Save Beacon is a good idea - that's why you guys have 1B farms and I'm scrounging in the dust!

[indigo falcon]

for my mind getting even 10 million out of that is going to take too much time manually digging up deposits, not really worth the investment

[indigo falcon]

got the materials to repair thrusters on the newly claimed one?

[wraith junco]

Well.... not anymore when u can just hunt sentinels. And get 50mil in like 10min.

[indigo falcon]

uh huh

I'd rather go to some new planet, scan a few things with good scanner upgrades, upload the data and get both units nd nanites for a tiny bit of exploring around. but that's just me

[wanton frigate]

OK, I'll admit, I'm not actually stuck - I'm asking for next time 'cause it can't be a thing that people keep repairing ships 'cause they lost their old one. But yeah, I did end up having to repair it and fly the shieldless wreck to my base so I could swap the ship out, after I got sick of circling, looking for my real ship.

[indigo falcon]

😄

[sleek talon]

has anyone found any 2* or 3* economy systems in this expedition?

[indigo falcon]

hope the new ship either looks nice or will be worth some units

[indigo falcon]

they are all going to be uncharted or abandoned systems, that's what ya got

[wanton frigate]

wish I could say it's never happened before, but I think it's happened to me the last 3 expeditions in a row. And no on both counts, it looks like the skeleton of an explorer with a bubble for the pilot, it's awful, and C class, and there's no where to scrap it 😦

Are there economies in this expedition?

[sleek talon]

I was hoping for a 2* or 3* to increase the % chance of finding a A class ship

but everything seems to be devoid of life or a 1* economy

I guess it's the curse of being.... adrift 😛

[indigo falcon]

ayup

[sleek talon]

okay plan B work out how to save scum

[wanton frigate]

you're planning to... Grift Adrift???

[sleek talon]

haha

nah I'm going to get the Minotaur and use that to scan for distress signals

seems the easier and less stressful way of doing it 😄

[coarse palm]

UH crap

I think I got soft locked in the amidst the star quest

how are you supposed to progress from this?

[sleek siren]

open galaxy map, it should be pointing at a specific one at that point ?

[indigo falcon]

you should have been directed to a specific planet in the current system but if the game is hinting to use the galaxy map, try that I guess

[tired flume]

I'm done with the expedition, the concept is very cool to a degree

[white agate]

I finished this morning and enjoyed the play through. I was hoping I’d get to interact with ||Artemis on the Anomaly|| at one point. Really enjoy these expeditions pulling me back onto the game!

[lament fractal]

That ship though ❤️

[sleek talon]

okay so I now have a minotaur and have the scanning feature installed. Do I now just run all over the planet with it hitting the scanner button?

Is there a better method?

I'm looking for distress signals btw

[indigo falcon]

for a crashed ship, you can just pin the mission, place the signal booster, ... wait, are you just looking for ships in general or doing a milestone?

[sleek talon]

yeah I did that but I want to find something better than a C class and I don't want to waste batteries.

[indigo falcon]

oic, yeah then the minotaur: first, pick up the geobay., might as well preserve the materials. then: scan, fly to signal, check... summon minotaur, scan, fly, repeat

[sleek talon]

wait you scan from the geobay?

ohhh

[indigo falcon]

no

[sleek talon]

I see what you mean

fly to a point, land drop geobay, scan

repeat

[indigo falcon]

the point is, you can summon thje minotaur once it's placed, even after picking up the geobay, as long as it's the same planet

just use the quick menu

[sleek talon]

yeah I being dumb 😄

[indigo falcon]

because it will be the active exocraft, see

[sleek talon]

thanks!

[indigo falcon]

hey no worries. gl, hope you find that ship!

[sleek talon]

could I do the same with the landing pad to save on fuel taking off?

[indigo falcon]

uh the landing pad needs a base computer placed, so no

[sleek talon]

kk

[indigo falcon]

just go someplace with uranium and stock up, one good deposit mined on the small setting for the terrain manip and you'll be set for days

[sleek talon]

kk thx!

[tidal pollen]

expedition done!

really cool one

[sleek talon]

well done!

[tidal pollen]

and this ship is amazing

this alone time as a whole got me wanting company again too, it's so good to see the npcs back at the anomaly after it ends 😭

[sleek talon]

715 uranium enough?

[indigo falcon]

that will do you for a good while. now get scouting!

[sleek talon]

will do!

[sleek talon]

just found a building that gave me a distress signal to a B class ship

[indigo falcon]

B is for "better but not there yet" 😄

[sleek talon]

ironically called 'Chuoreno's Bright Gamble' 😛

haha indeed

[indigo falcon]

you sure you don't want to just pick up an interceptor? 😄

[sleek talon]

what's that?

[indigo falcon]

sentinel incterceptor crashed ship....

no broken slots at all

(go ahead and keep on, I'm just putting it out there as an option you might want to look into later)

[quaint urchin]

Just so you know, the Sentinel Interceptor Class A will bug out on the mission to upgrade it to class S. You'll get the notification it was upgraded, but it will most likely remain an A-Class afterwards. If not, there are reports of it downgrading and changing names after you warp somewhere: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1da7v99/weekly_bug_report_thread/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1d9ql01/adrift_ship_class_upgrade_a_to_s_reverted/

I'm speaking from personal experience too. I upgraded my Sentinel A-Class yesterday and it remained an A-Class afterwards. Then I read about these issues, but there's nothing I can do now. The only mission to upgrade the class of your starship has already been turned in for me... 😢

So, @sleek talon you may want to consider this before hunting down a Sentinel A-Class and trying to upgrade it.

[sleek talon]

okay thanks

will they fix that?

[quaint urchin]

I hope so, but I don't have any hope they will be able to fix it for those who have already turned in the mission. I'd keep an eye on patch notes to see if they address it.

[sleek talon]

does getting that interceptor complete the 'fix a ship' task?

[alpine spear]

How do y’all get the whispering eggs?

[quaint urchin]

As soon as I get over being mad I'm gonna go finish the expedition for the 3rd time.

[sleek talon]

@alpine spear go to R2 and look outside the buildings

[alpine spear]

Nah, I mean like without getting attacked yknow

[sleek talon]

oh

grab item and then go on a roof

wait for swarm to subside

repeat

[quaint urchin]

I had already found and fixed a multi-tool which also completed the Make Do and Mend task for me.

[sleek talon]

is the interceptor something you acquire during the expedition or do you need to go find it?

[quaint urchin]

You have to go find it.

I had to destroy a bunch of Dissonant Resonators to get the Echo Locators, which you use to find the camps. Then from the camp you unlock the terminal and can ping to locate a downed Sentinel ship.

Each camp also has a Multi-Tool you can access after unlocking the terminal. Some are quite good, but higher class ones are pretty rare.

Big bonus though, there are wheelbarrows sitting around the camps and they can contain Tainted Metal for Nanites as well as other stuff like those packages for arms and technology upgrades. Oh yea, I found several Multi-tool slot upgrades by grabbing that stuff as well.

[sleek talon]

cool

[indigo falcon]

Sublight: you can shoot one egg, grab, melee boost to the other side of the building, grab 2-3 eggs (keeping an eye out for the green meanies)< when they show up boost away, get to another cluster, etc. If they are spread out enough that there are some near all the clusters, lead them on a lttle wild goose chase and then boost back to grab more...

[quaint urchin]

Anyway, I spent the better part of 3 days doing this and then the upgrade didn't work for me... I was so mad I had to go mow the yard, at Noon, with it 85 degrees outside. Lol

[sleek talon]

oof

[low light]

Huh, you do get to hear another traveller's voice in Adrift

[indigo falcon]

for a phrase or two... that's it

kzzzkt

[low light]

It's something though

[sleek talon]

I've found a crashed freighter and pulled the cargo but I didn't get the "dereliction" task completed

what am I missing?

[wraith junco]

U need to search space floating one.

[wanton frigate]

Was it under water? oops that's the other one. What this guy below says! VvvV

[wraith junco]

get emergency signal scanner from space station.

[sleek talon]

oh okay, thanks!

[wanton frigate]

Do you not get one of those as a reward for another milestone?
The thought of spending that much cash appalls me!

[wraith junco]

You have task to look for bones. U get cash for scanner from them easly

[sleek talon]

it appears to be from 'Fathoms Below'

[wanton frigate]

But that's my cash. For hoarding and swimming in like Scrooge McDuck!

[wraith junco]

Its an investment to get more money

[wanton raft]

You can't pass more than one MT back from the expedition right or is there a way?

I know you can pass more than one ship back or at least recall that.

[wraith junco]

If you didint finished whole exp yet you can try going to main save from exp terminal , claiming mt, going back to exp chaneging mt, going back again and claiming another

Its only way i think

[remote thunder]

interact with the distress beacon, read the log

that will get you your emergency signal scanner

then like they said, goto space, select dereliction, use scanner from inventory

[vast coyote]

Omg the bk robot moderator is alive

Mr bk I placed my submarine on some water system and there are no sunken freighters here and I went to another water planet and I forgot where I placed my submarine spawn

[sleek talon]

mine wasn't underwater 😄

[remote thunder]

to complete phase 4 milestone 5, you should be required to visit a sunken freighter

[vast coyote]

Yes

But I search this planet for like 15 minutes constantly scanning with submarine and it says no structures here

[remote thunder]

should have deleted nauti chamber to get 100% mats back - finding it now can be next to impossible

[remote thunder]

uncharted system? i.e. no race icon on discoveries tab, no space station?

[remote thunder]

see the 3 crosses lower left?

no race, no eco, no conflict

you need an inhabited system

[vast coyote]

Oof

[remote thunder]

well, abandoned will work too ofc

(exp13 systems are all abandoned)

[vast coyote]

Yeah I was about to ask that

[remote thunder]

goto space, gek/korvax/vykeen system

[indigo falcon]

a system with a species (gek korvax vy'keen) associated with it, even if they apparently packed up and left, their crashed stuffs will be left behind

if they never went there in the first place ("uncharted") then they won't have left any wreckage either

[vast coyote]

Logical

Btw why is nms story so weird

[indigo falcon]

because people are weird! 😄

[vast coyote]

Do u know what does 16 in the story mean

[remote thunder]

16 has a meaning in many things, for example computer programming

[vast coyote]

For some reason I only remember getting spammed with 16 during storyline

[remote thunder]

||atlas is a computer||

--kzzt--

[vast coyote]

Who created him

[remote thunder]

read remembrance lore

[vast coyote]

No pls

What is rememberence lore

[remote thunder]

you'll need remembrance suit tech, the terminals will be behind some atlas pass v3 doors

has to do with the atlas

the beginning

[vast coyote]

Wow

[remote thunder]

nms lore is deep and dark at times

[indigo falcon]

emphasis on dark

[sleek talon]

finally got one!

[quaint urchin]

That's awesome!!! 🎉

[graceful pike]

yo is there any way to warp to a system that you warped away from before entering that system's space station?

my dumb self warped away after being teleported by the portal to the 2nd rendezvous

[tidal pollen]

every space station you warp from can be warped back to from another teleporter I think

[graceful pike]

the one i'm trying to go to isn't in my stations list for some reason

[tidal pollen]

oooh

[graceful pike]

Lemme just restate what I did, I entered the portal after using the mind thing for the first time to activate it, did the whole floating in space thing and got teleported to a planet, then realized I had to get something from another system so I spawned the space anomaly and warped to a previous system. And since I didn't go in the space station for that system's not in my system list, and the only way to get back is to make like a ton of system jumps since my hyperdrive range is only like 100 even with the other hyperdrive types.
