nms-expedition

[remote thunder]

complete and claim phase 1 milestone 2

[broken tusk]

yeah none of them show dissonance

[remote thunder]

did you make any changes to options/difficulty at all?

[ashen shore]

I’m not talking about the one in my backpack, I’m talking about the one you can place down. Do we get any?

[broken tusk]

no

[royal jetty]

I really don't want to grind all that out again

[ashen shore]

Lame af no refiners. Is it possible to smuggle them in through your main save?

[remote thunder]

don't have to, i was just saying what i was going to do

[ashen shore]

Cause I saw one in the wild

[remote thunder]

once you get access to the anomaly, you can unlock all the refiners you want

[ashen shore]

Ohhhh

[remote thunder]

open galaxy map, is the system dissonant? how many planets and moons do you see "in orbit" around the star in the galaxy map? have you scanned that many?

[royal jetty]

how does that look?

[shrewd onyx]

Of the keys, you only need the top-tier one

[royal jetty]

Atlaspass?

[shrewd onyx]

Yes, them

[remote thunder]

correct, v3 opens all

looks good to me

[green wadi]

please help me
how am i meant to find a mountain that is 1600 u tall for the "all that you survey" objective

it seems impossible to find mount everest

[remote thunder]

rendezvous 2, 3 and 5 planets will have mountains so high that you will just have to land your ship as close to the top as possible and get the milestone

didn't find any as you dropped? return to space, pulse around the planet for a bit and drop back down again

[remote thunder]

looks even better, should have started with that

[broken tusk]

ok im back in and yes ive scanned all the planets ... no dissonant ones... ill check the galaxy map

[remote thunder]

sometimes there's planets hiding behind others

[broken tusk]

ph game crasshed cuz i alt tabbed... also crashes if i plug my phone in or take it off charge

yeah there was one hiding but no luck

[remote thunder]

are you sure phase3 milestone 2 is selected, and you're in the system it told you to go? that's odd that it failed. open galaxy map, locate another gek/korvax/vykeen dissonant system

[broken tusk]

nothing... but the mission marker

[remote thunder]

that's not the right mission marker though

that's a rendezvous marker

relevant to your "reach rendezvous 3" milestone

exit galaxy map

open log tab

sorry, the expedition tab

reselect phase 3 milestone 2, unpause, and wait for the mission hint lower right to pop up

[royal jetty]

here what I'm not take should I replace something that I am with one of these?

Ik I still have to do my tech

[broken tusk]

ok ill try that bk

[remote thunder]

item wise, here's what i'd also bring, if i had nothing else to bring; food items i'd bring just because i like food

[royal jetty]

So what should I replace thoes with

Have I taken this past the point of over thinking it?

[remote thunder]

i would not bring these back

probably wouldn't bring repair kits either

otoh, i wouldn't bother bringing anything i already have lots of in my main save

[broken tusk]

So I'm just going to the 3rd rendezvous while I'm here

Hopefully clearing that will help

[teal valley]

On my last one, how do I gaze at the stars

[remote thunder]

goto a planet, on foot, during night time - look at the sky

[teal valley]

@remote thunder was missing night time, ty

[broken tusk]

So no matter what mission I select the path is the same in galaxy map... Does it always point to next rendezvous

[remote thunder]

Expedition Route yes, Current Mission no

(the destinations at the top of the galaxy map)

current mission can be overriden by currently selected milestone, if the former requires galaxy map interaction from the player

[royal jetty]

How this one spot for signal scanner

[broken tusk]

Ive been playing since release but something about this expedition has me noobin hard

[remote thunder]

well yeah, you could, but remember that you don't have to because i said i was going to or anything ok?, i'll want to because i love running them, even though i have plenty of storage upgrades and upgrades for my freighter already

[broken tusk]

Expedition route, free explore , galactic core are the only options

I have a mission selected

[remote thunder]

and what milestone do you have selected in the Expedition tab/what mission is selected in the Log tab?

[broken tusk]

Call of the void

I tried others too

[remote thunder]

good, okay, it's not doing it, it doesn't matter

[broken tusk]

No mission path, stays greyed out

[remote thunder]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/979100431315796018/1253850022127210546/dissonant_system_planet.png

find a suitable system on your own

[broken tusk]

Right, gotta go searching

[remote thunder]

won't take long

[royal jetty]

@remote thunder you said something about have to salvage parts to get the iron vulture? My question is how do I get the vulture?

[broken tusk]

And make more warp cells >.>

[remote thunder]

while still in the expedition save, claim and change to iron vulture

see <#nms-expedition message>

[broken tusk]

Found one, got it, thx for setting back on track bk 😁

[broken tusk]

So 1600u is a really high mountain hey ... Only found a 500 so far and it was big >.>

[remote thunder]

rendezvous 2, 3 and 5 will be easy i think

land as high as you can

[broken tusk]

Ohh I'll keep an eye out

[royal jetty]

do they look ok?

[remote thunder]

yep

[broken tusk]

Haha, someone gave up looking for a tall mountain .... Built their own... ty whoever you are xD

[hasty brook]

What are some recommended resources to bring to the expedition?

[remote thunder]

basics like o2, cmetal, sodium, dust, mag ferrite, etc; items to sell for units and items to refine for nanites if you'd like and will want to copy ship and/or MT from main save and not rely on expedition route/activities for nanites; could also bring a stored indium drive (though you unlock its bp, could bring emeril instead, looms can still be bought), 1-3 s-class hyperdrive modules, launch autorecharger,

[hidden merlin]

how does one bring things to the expedition?

[remote thunder]

only possible when starting from existing save

!faq-expedition in #bot-spam

[quaint urchin]

So, just found an A-Class ship at the 5th Rendezvous and tried to use the mission to upgrade it... Not even a Sentinel ship and the upgrade did not stick!

I don't really care, it was just an experiment to see what would happen.

I already have good S-Class ships on my main...

[burnt briar]

I have a question about the fossil milestone

I’ve got it selected, and it says to follow the galaxy map. It just has a super long path that goes to what appears to be the rendezvous

[trail iron]

some of the rendezvouus systems have bones

[trail iron]

^

[burnt briar]

Ah ok

It doesn’t say in the map that it’s the destination for that as well

[rapid spindle]

I tried claiming the Ultimate Voice V03 ship from Rendezvous 5 (couldn't as another player had claimed it) but after they presumably left the system I was able to interact with the ship and it told me an NPC piloted it, I then noticed a copy of it behind me and it shares the inventory and tech of the ship I'd brought over from my primary save:

On top of that both inventories are linked so if I remove something from the inventory of one ship it disappears from the other ship's inventory

[rapid spindle]

Gasp! An NPC, in the Adrift Expedition!

Landing pads near crashed ships still spawn them I suppose

[slate mountain]

Woo, just finished the expedition

[median ember]

You don't need a mountain actually

Or base

[wooden hawk]

Expedition Complete. This was a fun one, delightfully eerie in it's theme. The expeditions always manage to bring me back to NMS, always enjoyable

[south cobalt]

WE HAVE TURTLES????

[undone orchid]

So I finished the expedition and would like to look at my normal save to compare ships but I cant change over since I am done, with out ending the expedition?

Found the answer

[rough thistle]

Dumb question but, is it too late for me to get the atlantium head? From expedition 10...I know it's locked but does nms often re run expeditions?

[undone orchid]

Every dec they rerun the ones from that year.

[meager scroll]

That exped had a rerun already in past year, so your options now are either to wait for HG to bring back these rewards as Twitch drops or in other reruns

Or, depending on the platform, you ues 3rd party tools to give yourself those rewards: mods, save editors, service bot delivery

[undone orchid]

So when ending and expedition does it credit you for every thing in your pockets or every thing in all your storage too?

[rough thistle]

Sadness

[ornate stag]

guys how come i cant find a normal station?

they all seem to be emtpy

[remote thunder]

there are none in expedition 13 - all gek/korvax/vykeen systems are abandoned

[ornate stag]

oooh

so portaling to other locations

makes it hard

[remote thunder]

a teleporter is still available in abandoned stations

[ornate stag]

ooh i didnt see it

[remote thunder]

when flying in to dock, it will be on your left

[ornate stag]

ill go have a look

thanks bk

ill try and find one

[thin tangle]

Nicely done!

[fervent umbra]

It's weird seeing the space anomaly so empty with the only figure being Nada, but him being literally nada, as in nothing. He's just a slumped over shell.

[trail iron]

Turtles can'r be tamed or fed directly, but the autofeeder and autoharvester do work on them to return "foraged mushroom" - it's actually the only way to get this product.

[slender fractal]

So I’ve been here for awhile but haven’t ever had anyone to join or vice versa my space is always empty and would love to get in he multiplayer experience

[crystal iris]

Check #nms-lfg-or-trades and post the same message.
Do you have a mic?

[crystal iris]

Where?

[slender fractal]

Yeah I do

I was planning on using the ps5 discord to give it a try

[crystal iris]

Thats a way too.
What do you want to do when in group?
I usually join someone when wanting to go on Derelict freighter runs.

Sometimes it's cool to just do Nexus missions... to get Quicksilver.

[slender fractal]

So I am that new too the game tbh. I was gonna ask someone to just venture and teach me some things. I’m done to follow and just do what you’d wanna do

Down*

Yes missions. I’ve been trying to just acquire materials and such but playing solo is very slow

[crystal iris]

So if you started with this Expedition... that's a great way to get up to speed on the game.

[slender fractal]

I’d love too if you are down

I’m on now matter of fact 😂

[crystal iris]

Wait, you'd love to what? I'm working currently... so I cannot use my headset. So I wouldn't be too much fun.

[slender fractal]

Sorry I though you were stating to do an expedition my fault I’m doing the lost in space expedition right now so let’s see where I get 👍🏻

[crystal iris]

Yeah, that's what I was asking. If you were doing the Expedition.
I can join you and type in the game or in DM's
Do you want to be given resources or do you want to mine/refine them yourself?

[slender fractal]

Idc I don’t want to take your stuff and I’m down to mine but if you wanted to give me that’s your choice tbh

[crystal iris]

I have some to spare. Let's go to DM's

[crystal iris]

You know I don't know if we can even see one another in the Exped..

[rapid slate]

New to the game and never tried expeditions.

1. If I start the Adrift expedition through the anomaly space station, will I then be locked to that game mode until the expedition timer ends?
2. Will all the rewards gained from an expedition be shared to all my other saves as well or only the save which completed the expedition tasks?

[wraith junco]

1 no. U can go back using expedition terminal on anomaly
2 rewards are unlocked account wide

[rapid slate]

Ohh so I can just switch back and forth as I please on the same save, that's nice.

Cool. So I can start a fresh save and complete the Adrift expedition on that and then claim all the rewards on my main save then.

Do you recommend using my main save or start a new one?

[wraith junco]

I got burned on doing exp on main save. After completeing it it wiped all my vonders records. Idk how rare the bug is or if its specific platform conected. So i personaly recomend doing it on new save. (no ez mode helpers, with mp off for proper experiance. Theme of this expedition is lonelyness)

[rapid slate]

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for the info 👍
But there is no benefit by doing it from the main save and I will start the expedition from scratch no matter what right?

[wraith junco]

U can bring stuff into expedition to help u out. Other than that ,No.

Oh u can also get some units,nanites , qs after expedition completion to your main save when doing exp on main save.

Game sumarizes your playthrough like planets discovered killed sentinels etc.

[wraith junco]

Oh. And u can copy last used ship and mt from exp to your main save.

So there is some benefits.

[rapid slate]

Ahh there seems to be quite a few. What would you recommend bringing in to complete it as fast as possible?

And if I start today will I have time to complete the expedition before it ends?

[wraith junco]

No need to rush.

basics like o2, cmetal, sodium, dust, mag ferrite, etc; items to sell for units and items to refine for nanites if you'd like and will want to copy ship and/or MT from main save and not rely on expedition route/activities for nanites; could also bring a stored indium drive (though you unlock its bp, could bring emeril instead, looms can still be bought), 1-3 s-class hyperdrive modules, launch autorecharger,

[wraith junco]

U can do expedition in less than 10h without bringing anything from main save

[rapid slate]

I see, thanks. But all the stuff I choose to bring in will be removed from my Normal mode, so it's not a copy of the items it's a transfer?

[rapid slate]

Ohh that fast. But for a new player it will probalby be a lot longer

[wraith junco]

Maybe 2x as much. If u get stuck

[remote thunder]

correct, it is a transfer as far as stash is concerned; ship and MT are copies, not moved

[rapid slate]

Cool. What is MT by the way? 🙂

[remote thunder]

multitool sorry

[rapid slate]

I should have been able to figure that out to be honest 😂

[remote thunder]

nah 🤗

[rapid slate]

If I do I will come back here and receive some expert help 😉 Thanks for all the answers

Think I will do a backup of my main save just before I start Adrift just in case

[shrewd onyx]

Remember that you can transfer stuff from the expedition once complete. Back and forth a few times (to main via the options menu – does that matter? – and to the expedition via the console in the Anomaly) – and yes, I stripped out & transferred anything useul from my suit & multitool to main too.

[tame snow]

Doing the new expedition but it’s been a while since I’ve played it if anyone wouldn’t mind giving me some assistance

[remote thunder]

sorry for the late reply; can you elaborate on what are you having trouble with?

[tame snow]

Mainly to just chill, and rn tbh I’m having a hard time finding cobalt

Can’t seem to find a cave unless I go into one of the burrows?

[tame snow]

^

[quaint urchin]

Scan for Subterranean Relics and Humming Sacs. They indicate there's a cave around them.

Then you can use the Terrain Manipulator to dig into that area if you can't locate the cave entrance.

[tame snow]

The whispering sacks?

I’m doing that and can’t seem to find it

[trail iron]

no. Humming sac is a different item, like relics, that only ever spawns on cave type terrain. But the icon shows on your map/compass.

There may not be any on your specific planet. But there will be caves.... somewhere.
A good idea is to find a building, ANY bulding, and look near that for a cave terrain.

[trail iron]

use the sugnal booster item or fly low and slow over the terrain and tap your scan button to find a buildings.

And then [above]

[tame snow]

Homie the what

Signal booster item?

[trail iron]

build menu, first tab

[tame snow]

I thought that with expeditions it loads everyone onto the same planets, in the sense system

So there’s a chance that even though it is the starter planet there won’t be certain things?

[remote thunder]

in short, the spawn point is on the same planet, but not in the same location on that planet; so there can be slightly more favorable spawn locations than others, but we've got no control over that ofc

[tame snow]

Yeah that makes sense

Thankfully I didn’t have to stay there I realised I could still just leave the planet and fix it when I do find a cave while doing over stuff I’m sure I’ll need that material eventually

[remote thunder]

yeah, only thing ship needs to fly is launch thruster and pulse engine

[tame snow]

Thankfully, need to repair the warp drive now so I can finish part one

[remote thunder]

remember that you can complete milestones from phases ahead while you still haven't completed all milestones before those: for example, there's a milestone in phase 3 to collect ancient bones, and there's a planet with ancient bones in rendezvous 1 planet's system. always visit space stations of the starter system and rendezvous systems, and this goes for all expeditions

[calm flax]

You can also find caves on the starter planet. I got lucky and found an oxygen patch in a cave with around 300u of oxygen. I've done the expedition 5 times and completely repaired the ship and multitool before leaving the planet.

[calm flax]

The first time it's happened since I started playing the game. When I spawned in at the start of the expedition I was sliding down the side of an extremely tall mountain with nowhere to stop. I almost died before I got to a safe spot. I couldn't even use the terrain manipulator to dig a spot like I normally do when sliding down the side of a mountain. I did finally realize the jetpack lasted longer than I thought it would being on an airless planet.

[tame snow]

Don’t seem to be able to do anything with them right now so I just land and leave

[calm flax]

Also the storm crystals sell really good. If you just fly low and land beside the storm crystals you don't even need better protection to get them. Have to be careful of the tornados when hopping out of the ship. I've wondered how many people know how easy it is to get the economy scanner and even getting emeril in the first system if they don't mind using an exploit. Just reloading the game is the exploit.

[remote thunder]

true, emeril can even be obtained outside green star systems, but 1) an indium drive isn't required to complete expedition (none of the rdvs do iirc), 2) plenty of blueprints can be unlocked using distress beacons for example

[calm flax]

The indium drive isn't required but, I do like the freedom to go to any system I want asap. the way I 'm talking about getting emeril is using buried cache's. The economy scanner is easy to get. Just get the teleport receiver as a reward and the first crashed ship you find you'll get the economy scanner when you select search for technology

[remote thunder]

yep, i'm aware of both caches and distress beacons

[calm flax]

I dislike the starter multitools and ships so I like my first warp to be to a dissonant system and get a nice multitool and sentinel ship.

[calm flax]

I figured you'd be aware of them I was just wondering how many people didn't know.

[remote thunder]

oh probably quite a large number

[calm flax]

Seems like the talk a little earlier was about new people taking quite a while to finish the expedition.

[remote thunder]

yep yep, think it was their first time

[calm flax]

I have a feeling they wouldn't know about things like that.

[calm flax]

@remote thunder Do you know of a good way to get a S class cold protection in the expedition? I don't care to do the derelict freighters without one even though I've already done 4 without one.

[remote thunder]

damaged machinery can drop s-class hazard modules in non-exp(13), no reason to believe that drop table has changed

[calm flax]

Yeah I know. The one time I had an S class cold protection I got it in a damaged machinery. I check a lot of them and haven't had much luck finding another one.

[remote thunder]

that said, i did good with the x-class hazard (phase4 milestone3) and the +21% cold resist tech

[calm flax]

I'll still keep looking to see if I can find one. I did find out that even though the damaged machinery drop the same upgrade every time I checked in one of my saves apparently that only works for that one character. I went back to the damaged machinery that gave me the S class cold protection in my other expedition saves and it was only nanites.

I did an experiment with around 20 damaged machinery that all gave S class upgrades. Every time I went back and could check them they always gave the same S class upgrade.

[remote thunder]

to create that feeling of randomness somewhat, i assume - from save to save

[calm flax]

could be. Some things do remain the same like crashed ships.

[remote thunder]

yeah, or multitools at a specific location when the right pool is selected, etc

[calm flax]

I've got quite a few really good multitools that way.

[trail iron]

items in the same place should give the same output regardless. This can be tested with barrel fabricators and crate fabricators.

there may have been some inconsistency with your testing

(or maybe damaged machinery also changes pool with loading place.. sometthing interesting to look into)

[calm flax]

I tested damaged machinery on one of my saves over a fairly long length of time. Around 20 of them and every time I would go back and check them I'd always get the same upgrade. I had a basae computer set up at each one so I could check them easier.

[remote thunder]

more similar to crashed freighter pods it seems

[calm flax]

except apparently it only works on that one save. I just assumed I could go to the same location on my other saves and find the same S class upgrade. Except I tried it probably 3 times and I didn't get the S class upgrade again

[remote thunder]

yeah, more magic involved

[trail iron]

I'm curious if planting a base changes things.
Going there on a third save might help clear up that question.

[tame snow]

Also discovered NMS does not run well on new gen if you have a lot of storage being used

Just need whispering eggs, climb a huge ahh mountain, get to next rendezvous let’s go

Whispering eggs I have a feeling will be annoying

Nevermind it shows exactly where they are

[trail iron]

Remember too that every time you see a building, clock the waypoint marker; you need 12 of them by the end.

and whispering eggs are easy: Find a building, stand on roof, shoot two eggs, jump down, gahter, jump up. repeat

[tame snow]

Ah right I’ve probably already missed a few then

[prisma wraith]

guys I cant access discovery services since the expedition began i think i tried fresh save same stuff.

"No matchmaking services"

[remote thunder]

question better suited for #nms-questions 🙂

[prisma wraith]

thanks

[trail iron]

if you'r eon a console, disable the machine's "sleep" or "low power" mode and reboot it completely

[tough river]

does anyone have coords for a planet with bones

[wraith venture]

there's a planet with ancient bones in rendezvous 1 planet's system.

for future reference, always visit space stations of the starter system and rendezvous systems, so you can easily teleport back to them.
Here's a pin with a list of all the rendezvous systems for reference: #nms-expedition message

[junior shard]

Dissonant worlds are just random right?

I did the 5 rendes vouzs but didn't run into one

nice the galaxy map says it

[wraith junco]

Not random. Look for dissonant in system description where "water" is

[remote thunder]

where "water" would be

[wraith junco]

Hi bk . What was the command for ship dps/difficulty chart ?

[remote thunder]

that was an image shared by members, it never made into a command; here https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/212051634790858754/1202505302939795466/DPS_Difference.jpg , mythos did this one

[indigo ferry]

After finishing the Expedition does this freighter will be transfered to the main save?

[meager scroll]

Frigate and no

You will need to redeem it like any other phase reward

From the Quicksilver shop at Space Anomaly

[indigo ferry]

ok, thx

[woven shadow]

I found a planet with synthetic life forms but there were only 2 species and I need 3 for the milestone. 😢

Oh well I will just have to fly to another planet, at least the systems are marked

I also got a pet disc-headed shiny robot animal

[junior shard]

Does it need to be night for the gaze at the stars mission?

[remote thunder]

remember, uncharted systems only (not gek/korvax/vykeen), doesn't have to be uncharted blue star

[trail iron]

Most often when one planet in the system has them, another in that same system will too.

Check for exactly and only TWO lifeforms, and you'll have the right planet.

[remote thunder]

the mission hint will tell you if there's another planet in the same system or not

2nd line

if there's yet another planet, you'd not see that one ofc

[ashen shore]

I beat the game do I return it now or what do I do

[remote thunder]

did you start from an existing save?

[ashen shore]

No new game

[remote thunder]

have you completed and claimed all milestones, all phase, and the final expedition rewards already?

[woven shadow]

I found it!

That took me a long way off the expedition route…

[remote thunder]

should be able to teleport back to last visited rdv system at least

[woven shadow]

It’s okay. I was able to get back on track quickly.

[junior shard]

Phase 4 felt so much longer than the others lol

[faint mesa]

Really? I felt the last two phases were quick compared to the rest

But there were some late milestones I had already gotten earlier... so perhaps that was the reason

[wraith junco]

Yeah. Most milestones can be done out of order.

[keen stone]

Wooo on my last objective

Planet with 12 species of fauna and I can't find any of them :(

[remote thunder]

pause/discoveries/planet/fauna view, see if there's any specific spawn requirements

[keen stone]

Ok there's four ground/always active, one only found in the south

One ground/dinural

And I don't wanna list them with this shitass keyboard so yeah it looks like most of them i should have seen by now

[remote thunder]

the coords on your visor/ship when flying inside atmos/exocraft, the first number is latitude (2nd is longitude); first number, 0 to +90, north; 0 to -90, south. also, when on a planet, if you open the discoveries tab,you'll see a yellow pin marking your current location

[keen stone]

I hope this doesn't become a repeat of the time I spent hours searching an ocean planet for sunken freighters

[remote thunder]

just land near a building

[keen stone]

I never did find any on the planet

[remote thunder]

goto the day side

[keen stone]

Oh wow

I cannot get into my ship

[remote thunder]

resummon it using quick menu on a better spot, careful of any objects that might glitch its landing path

[keen stone]

I have done this

I will have to restart the game

[remote thunder]

not sure how you got into that situation, but if it's something that you tend to come across more often than desired, feel free to submit feedback or even a bug report perhaps to the devs

[ashen shore]

oh my god. i’ve been looking for the stupid robot animals for 3 hours now. i’ve found none. oh my god

i am going insane

[remote thunder]

check this pinned post <#nms-expedition message>

[ashen shore]

omg thx so much

stupid fucking little robo fauna

sorry i’m

a little frustrated

[remote thunder]

don't worry, we've got you

anything else just ask

[ashen shore]

oka!!!

[torpid mauve]

i just now finished it ugh 😭

[ashen shore]

the devs are actually evil istg

[torpid mauve]

ikkk it took me so long to realize only 2 will spawn on a planet but at least i got a cool robot dog now

[remote thunder]

well, not to say that i don't also run into things like this sometimes, but i literally visited 5 red star systems within 150LY of rdv3 system and got all 3

[ashen shore]

i found 2 species of blobs while looking for them

[torpid mauve]

yea once i hit red systems i instantly got them all, now i gotta fix a ship wish me luck 😩

[remote thunder]

remember to look at the hints..

[ashen shore]

this is one of the least fun expeditions imo

idk it’s just not very engaging

[remote thunder]

it's not only blue star systems as we know, but only uncharted systems

check the pinned post, it even has systems easy to find in the galaxy map

[ashen shore]

is it normal for it be rare?

i’ve warped to about 10 that fit that criteria but keeps saying i have to find another system

[remote thunder]

robo fauna only ever spawn in uncharted systems, but not all uncharted systems have them - so yes, they're not common at least, but like i said, it's often a matter of you know, you just have been picking the "wrong" systems

to be clear, uncharted systems have no race icon on galaxy map

<:info:850810445577453658> Galaxy Map: NPC presence

Star systems can be inhabited, abandoned or uncharted. We can easily tell the difference between inhabited and uncharted, but abandoned systems are a little easier to miss. Take a look at the embedded image.

[ashen shore]

oka tysm!!!

[remote thunder]

if you've been trying non-uncharted systems, then yeah, you're never going to find any afaik

here, an example:

see where my player marker is? that's rendezvous 3 system

that red star system, at 95LY, named adachi-eniwa, has 2 planets with robo fauna iirc

[ashen shore]

OMG i finally warped to a system that says it has them ona nearby planet

[remote thunder]

now remember, robo fauna planets only ever have 2 fauna species total

both robo fauna

look at the hint again, after scanning the two

[ashen shore]

why did the expedition devs think this was a good idea

[remote thunder]

because.. we had 6 weeks to finish the entire expedition, and many other milestones are just.. even easier?

idk, can't please everyone

the mission itself - guided the player to a valid system

[ashen shore]

i’m so sorry if i sound grumpy 😭 i’ve just been tearing my eyes out looking for these things for the past hour

[remote thunder]

i was just having fun - basically doing what i do in my main save, wander around

i sorta forgot i was doing a milestone

[ashen shore]

YAAYY i found 2

oka now to find another planet

[remote thunder]

the hint will say if there's any other planet (or maybe planets) in the system that also have robo fauna

[ashen shore]

good thing i made 30 warp cells

[ashen shore]

oka!!

[remote thunder]

if not it will just say "open galaxy map"

[ashen shore]

so much jumping in this new expedition

omg another planet with them finally

tysmsmsmsmsm for all the help

<3

[remote thunder]

yay, congrats 🙂

[little sorrel]

Anyone wanna do multi in the new expedition I'm new and this is my first one

[prime briar]

i'm somehow started on the second palnet of the expedition and i'm stuck, there is no copper

[remote thunder]

did you start from new save, joining a friend?

[prime briar]

i started from my save

[sleek siren]

what's the name of the planet you're in?

[prime briar]

Rilotte

[sleek siren]

And you said the expedition started there for you?

[remote thunder]

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[prime briar]

The long story is that i was on space outside this planet on the ship, and the ship wasn't fix so my option was drift to the planet XD

but basically i'm on the 2nd planet, like my first XD

[remote thunder]

do you still have rocket launcher installed?

dismantle it for 100 copper

find buried caches, those can drop copper as well

[sleek siren]

hmm not sure how you'd be in space without the ship fixed, unless you did some MP.
you can follow Bks suggestion, but if you're already having to jump hoops this early on might be best to just restart the expd

[remote thunder]

but started from existing save though 😦

[sleek siren]

yikes hm

[remote thunder]

another option, a player joins you to drop you some mats

@prime briar ^ see replies above sorry

[prime briar]

i look around and search, find 2 terminals without copper jajaj

[sleek siren]

see if someone can drop off some mats for you.
probably the quickest solution

#nms-lfg-or-trades

[prime briar]

i didn't know XD

okk i gonna see if someone on can drop some copper

[polar silo]

any way l can sell upgrades l don't have room to bring back before ending the expedition?

[ashen shore]

I believe the remaining items are automatically sold, and you recieve the appropriate credits/nanites upon ending the exp.
Almost All of the terminals in the current exp sell packs (tech/suspicious) and you can easily stock up on those to send back also.

[timid mango]

Since there is a glitch that won't let me upgrade my sentinel ship to an s-class, has anyone found a good a-class fighter on the expedition route?

[torpid mauve]

finally finished :)

[polar silo]

oh those technology packages yea, didn't think of that htanks for the tip

lmao

[solemn cradle]

Can’t blame me for trying lmao

[polar silo]

XD no worries

[torpid mauve]

it was worth the grind

[sleek siren]

@solemn cradle Brother no. Don't go soliciting cash in this server please

[prime briar]

i'm out, i feel like the dude from the martian XD

thanks

[crimson sail]

How do I get nanites in the expedition?

[sleek siren]

you can refine stuff for nanites, or use scanner (discoveries) to make some nanites

no selling tech modules since there's no vendors

[thorn turtle]

what would be easy way to find Atlantideum ?

rend 1 doesnt have any corupted planets around

[fluid herald]

you just need to find a dissonant system and in the system you need to find the planet with the dissonance, on it you will find what you need

[thorn turtle]

is it just a random trying systems or?

[fluid herald]

a dissonant system is marked with the word "Dissonant" in the info about the system, if it doenst have the word "dissonant" in it, there will be no dissonant planet and you'll need a dissonant planet for the atlantideum

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Dissonant_System

[thorn turtle]

alright its the star next to rend 1

ah man the game just upgraded this crappy C tier tool

some a** built this right after boundary spawn point....

i am trapped in it

[fluid herald]

there still should be ways to get out

tried loading last savepoint?

[thorn turtle]

yes, I reported the base and its gone now

[fluid herald]

👍

[ashen shore]

How many days until the expedition is over

?

[fluid herald]

15th july

[ashen shore]

Oh so a while after the fourth of July

Ok

I have a while then

Just was wondering because I haven't gotten around to it

[torpid mauve]

plenty of time left dw

[ashen shore]

Yeah I've been putting it off for a while

[torpid mauve]

it is very grindy but if you follow a guide it is way easier

[ashen shore]

I've been playing for a while and I've completed every expedition

So I'm used to it

[thin ember]

Same.

[thorn turtle]

Report the base and it will disappear

[thorn turtle]

Is there a way to scrape ships in expedition?

[remote thunder]

nope

[thorn turtle]

no class upgrade i assume too?

[remote thunder]

yep; only way to class upgrade is through milestone reward; be aware that there's a bug upgrading a-class sentinels to s-class

[thorn turtle]

its can't be upgraded?

[remote thunder]

the class upgrade fails to apply

[quaint urchin]

I had the same class upgrade issue on another type of ship too:

It was definitely still an A-Class after the upgrade

[remote thunder]

ah good to know, thanks, was only aware of sentinels

[pale swift]

guys when does the expedition end

[remote thunder]

[pale swift]

ty

[quaint urchin]

Same... I happened to get an A-Class at the 5th Rendezvous on my 4th playthrough, so I decided to test it and see if it would upgrade. I reported it via Zendesk so hopefully they can fix it.

[thorn turtle]

it the same type sentinel ship everywhere on the same planet?

[remote thunder]

only 1 sentinel ship design per suitable system, yes

[thorn turtle]

same class?

[quaint urchin]

No, class is random.

[remote thunder]

^^ class is fixed per site, and influenced by eco tier

[thorn turtle]

ah, no wonder they all C. There is only one class upgrade in rewards right?

[remote thunder]

yep

[ornate stag]

guys im having issues finding 3 life forms!

i keep going to blue stars its annoying

[ashen shore]

how do i gaze towards the stars

[indigo falcon]

see the pin in this channel with a comprehensive guide on how to find them; alternatively, there are pins in the channel with information about systems close to rendezvous systems, that have these life forms

[ashen shore]

for “A still, small voice”

[indigo falcon]

at night stand on a planet's surface with a clear view of the stars; pin the objective; look up.

[ashen shore]

oka thanku!

[indigo falcon]

(the timer in the lower right will give you progress indication)

[ashen shore]

lol u can just spend the time organizing ur inventory, u don’t even have to really look at it

[indigo falcon]

just be aware that being in some menus or doing other things (maybe crafting? unsure) can reset the timer.

[ashen shore]

oka!

oka it just finished lawl

[jagged sedge]

Last time I tried it, it was almost done, then the sun came up and timer failed, lol

[fluid herald]

had that too, man that was so disappointing, especially because the timer didnt save the time and you have to begin from start -.- "is the sun going up? naaaaah, besides even if, those last two secon... son of a gun!" 😂

[indigo falcon]

yep when the timer restarts ,it starts at 0. see you in another 60 seconds 😄

[thorn turtle]

getting sentinel ship was 1000% worth it 😄

first time sentinel, didn't know I'm missing out this much

[valid roost]

Ooh, what are the stats?

[polar silo]

hello do l have to copy my ship back to my main save after l've completed the expedition?

[remote thunder]

if you want to/if you upgraded it more - or if you don't mind loosing any applied storage upgrades, you could just store some of its installed tech/modules, and put them in the stash to bring over to main save, then install those on your ship from main save

[polar silo]

it's already maxed out l just don't want to lose it, l have nothing new on it no storage augments or anything like that, mostly just want to make sure that my main save still has my ship these expeditions are a lil confusing for me

[remote thunder]

your main save has your ship, just as it was as you last left it, no changes

[polar silo]

cause l want to copy the reward ship to have 2 of em in my main save and salvage one, and duplicate my Photonix core

[remote thunder]

well

then

i assume you're talking about starborn runner then, ok

so

yeah, you can easily do that

can even do it before finishing the expedition

[polar silo]

yea... l did the last expedition and just ended it and read after that l could've had 2 of them

[remote thunder]

simply have runner equipped, pause, options, return to primary; goto anomaly, exp terminus, copy runner into free slot, store photonix core: if you want, you can copy runner again, and get another photonix core - as long as you've got the nanites, and the free ship slots to do so

when you're done, pause, options, return to expedition

equip the ship you want, for example, iron vulture <#nms-expedition message>, then finish

[polar silo]

so l can get infintie starborn runners??

[remote thunder]

if you wanted to

same deal with iron vulture

or any other ship you have selected when you return to primary/finish

that said, ofc, if you finish, you can't go back in, and switch to a different ship

[polar silo]

can l get ship building parts from them?

[remote thunder]

see that link i posted above; yep

[polar silo]

and make like a custom ship with the wings of like starborn runner on a normal fighter

woah okok

that's sick

[remote thunder]

no, can't salvage runner for parts

[polar silo]

oh okay so only iron vulture

[remote thunder]

vulture works yeah

[polar silo]

can you build sentinel ships? unrelated question but would be cool

[remote thunder]

nope, atm only fighter/explorer/hauler

[polar silo]

ohhhh and vulture is a hauler so it counts

okok

so l can pckage my photonix core, put it in the tech slots, have 2 when l go back, pause go to main save, copy iron vulture a bunch of times, scrap for parts, go back to expedition, finish

[polar silo]

if l copy it does it only copy techs or does it also copy what's in the cargo hold

[remote thunder]

only the tech inventory

[polar silo]

okok so if l want to dupe all my starborn runner techs l can also just slide them into the vulture and get a bunch of those

instead of packaging them and bringing them back as items

like the photonix core l can install it in the vulture copy the vulture, remove the core, store it, scrap vulture for parts, and have like 6 photonix cores

l love abusing intended game mechanics

thanks alot btw sorry for all the questions

just want to make sure l don't fluff anything up

[remote thunder]

can only install it once on vulture, but, yes, you could do that, as the tech inventory is saved, and then copy vulture multiple times in main save yeah

[polar silo]

okay cool thanks again

[summer karma]

Is there nowhere to scrap ships in the expedition?

[remote thunder]

nope, sorry for the late reply, i see you got your answer in -help

[strong steeple]

Is the Derelict Freighter reward RNG'able/rerollable, similar to how people do so in normal gameplay?

[remote thunder]

what derelict freighter reward are you thinking about?

[strong steeple]

nvm, just found the same question asked previously here 🙂

[remote thunder]

are you asking about phase 4 milestone 6?

[strong steeple]

yep

[remote thunder]

i got a c-class

[strong steeple]

same, seems everone gets the same one.

[remote thunder]

afaik that's what others have been getting as well

a member mentioned that it may have been intended for them to be given in s-class, he had looked around in game files

it would be a bug in that case, but i guess no way to truly confirm since none of us are devs

[strong steeple]

Speaking of possibly a bug, every single slime-sac I popped on that thing was just...empty.

Certainly not complaining, tho that could just be the first freighter one explores. Further ones are then obviously fraught with the things.

[remote thunder]

didn't drop anything? oh wow weird - if that happened to me i don't think i noticed... i think i would have noticed

😅

[indigo falcon]

plenty of folks ran derelicts that had real live bugs on 'em though. so you got lucky, good job!

[tame snow]

The only exp im dissapointed I missed is the one for the Normandy

Now also got to discover synthetic life this will be fun

[remote thunder]

check this post <#nms-expedition message>

[tardy onyx]

hey so this might be a stupid question but why are all the space stations i come across abandoned?

[thick umbra]

Because thats the case in Adrift

[tardy onyx]

ah interesting

[remote thunder]

the loneliness 🙂

[thick umbra]

You can not buy blueprints ... but every SS has a teleporter and a trading terminal

[remote thunder]

buildings that normally have trade terminals like trade outposts still have them in exp13

[tame snow]

I kept coming accross so many other players until I started having to go to different coloured star systems

[remote thunder]

yeah, the loneliness with mp disabled 😄

forgot to mention that bit

[tame snow]

Oh right

Tbh a lot of the players I’ve found on this expedition aren’t really interacting with me

[tardy onyx]

same thing here

anyone know how to find that stupid underwater freighter?

i cant seem to get it done

[wraith junco]

Use nautilion exocraft scanner

[tardy onyx]

the who?

[wraith junco]

The submarine

[remote thunder]

complete phase 4 milestone 1, goto a gek/korvax/vykeen system with a planet with water, build nautilon chamber, once nauti is on planet delete geobay, install high powered sonar on nautilon tech, hop in it, quick menu, scan, scan for sunken freighter

[tardy onyx]

ahhh okay thanks

how do you deconstruct the thing afterwards

or is it just a one time build and then you cant get ur stuff back

[remote thunder]

just open build menu again, then press edit placed parts, aim at nauti chamber, press delete

[tardy onyx]

welp doesnt work for me

i can delete the base but thats it

[remote thunder]

aim carefully at the chamber object - when you have it highlighted it will turn blue

this is a game feature, and it does work

if you're on pc kbm, then basically, default keys, Z, C, aim at object, X

[tardy onyx]

i guess ill just leave it then

[remote thunder]

wdym?

post screenshots of what you're doing

[tardy onyx]

oh i flew away already

[remote thunder]

nautilon chamber doesn't even need to be built on a base btw

[tardy onyx]

i scanned the thing so i techincally dont need it anymore

[remote thunder]

weird, now i was curious to know exactly which step of the process were you not being able to do

[tardy onyx]

like the base plate it spawns on i could delete

but the sub would still stay

[remote thunder]

but that's exactly what we wanted

[burnt briar]

quick question:
will I need hungering tendril drops later on?
like the rope and spawn

[remote thunder]

to get the resources back

resources which were going to be used towards install high powered

[remote thunder]

nope, can just refine

[burnt briar]

alr thanks

[tardy onyx]

oh lol i thought the sub would dissapear aswell

[remote thunder]

nah, you just used the geobay aka chamber to spawn it in

after that, we just don't leave it behind because we "need" the resources

either to build it again later, or, to do what we did, put those resources into high powered sonar

so i techincally dont need it anymore
exactly, we just needed it for the marker

and btw, once and while a specific exocraft is on a specific planet, you can always use your on foot quick menu/summon vehicles to summon it close to you again

[tardy onyx]

oh thats nice

i forgot how epic this game was tbh

i havent played in over a year lol

[remote thunder]

wb

[tardy onyx]

thanks:D

[south cairn]

I died on the really stormy planet from getting picked up by wind and my grave is 70m in the sky

I’m just not really sure how to remedy this

[wraith venture]

Maybe try riding another tornado to get to it Or you can put down a base computer and build steps all the way to the spot?

[blazing hearth]

Might be able to retrieve with a sentinel ship that can hover? I seem to recall dying in space at some point and was able to retrieve the inventory from inside my ship, never tried it planet side though

[ashen shore]

Hey I need to know something is there any special tech you can only get off of the new iron vulture expedition ship

?

[lucid quarry]

I didn’t see anything special when I did the expedition, but to be fair I wasn’t looking very hard so I might have missed something

[ashen shore]

I'm talking about the tech installed on it

[atomic estuary]

Someone mentioned having a vulture with a special trail, that can be moved to other ship

[ashen shore]

Ah

[atomic estuary]

I haven't played expedition yet so idk

[ashen shore]

Ok so I was right about that

[atomic estuary]

If that's a trail you can't just buy from quicksilver shop it's worth keeping

[heady turret]

No

Besides it being able to be broken up into parts in the ship designer

But it does have a trail and a bobble head I think

[ashen shore]

Thank you traveler

[indigo falcon]

the iron vulture has the ability to hover, which only sentinel ships and I think the starborn runner have, as far as other ships. but I have heard conflicting reports on whether ships built with the wing part from the vulture also hover or not

[ashen shore]

Is it's default pant job special or is it just something you can also do with a custom one of it

[low light]

You get the paint style plus another from doing the milestones

[unreal forum]

Also has a little atlas statue in the cockpit of the vulture not sure if you can move it tho

[atomic estuary]

You should be able

[ornate stag]

how do you guys pin things looking for one more sythenic

3 lifeforms

cant seem to find it

[wraith junco]

Tap channel name, settings, pinned messages.

[thin tangle]

If you mean, if you rebuild it completely to get different stats and re-paint it. It'll still however

[tardy onyx]

woop woop finished the expedition in like 20 ish hours

[vale shoal]

do i have to create a new save file for the expiditon, and do the missiosn up untilunlocking the anomaly ?

im a bit slow today so i need a clear step by step on what to do to start the expidition with a friend ;-;

[meager scroll]

You can start the expedition on existing save by visiting the expedition terminal at Space Anomaly

It will have a marker on it so just follow that

There you will be able to pack some of stuff from your main save to retrieve later on the expedition

As for playing with the friend - it's recommended to play it solo

[remote thunder]

@vale shoal see replies from Friendly Fire above

[crimson sail]

I just completed the expedition. How do I get the iron vulture on my primary save?

[remote thunder]

started exp13 from scratch, right? goto anomaly/quicksilver shop in main save, claim expedition rewards

[crimson sail]

yes, started it from scratch.

What is this for?

[remote thunder]

to get iron vulture parts for ship building haulers into a primary save

[strong steeple]

If some blueprints are "locked" behind past expeditions, can it be argued that said blueprint is also not necessarily required, but only a nice to have

[remote thunder]

absolutely

nothing to worry about

[strong steeple]

Because I'm looking at the Resonance Amplifier and thinking, damn, if only.

[remote thunder]

resonance amp is a tech available today, through the they who returned secondary quest, which cannot be started in exp13

[ancient ingot]

Guys, I’m on phase two, and I lost my mind ark to the machine in the anomoly, do I have to make a new one for the portal?

[remote thunder]

you should not have "lost" mind ark after interacting with terminal prime though - i don't recall having to have crafted another

[blazing fossil]

Hmmmm…I wonder if it says that in the title maybe?

[remote thunder]

easy..

[ancient ingot]

It didn’t give it back to me, and I really don’t feel like getting a hypnotic eye, I’ve already been so unlucky with the expedition, it took me an hour to get off the starting planet because of how far all the materials were.

[remote thunder]

can you still reload restore point to before doing the terminal prime/mind ark step?

[ancient ingot]

Nope, I landed which created a restore point

I’m going back to the anomaly right now to see if I missed something

It worked

It just made me go interact with the terminal thing again, then it gave it to me

[remote thunder]

ok good

[ancient ingot]

That was weird, thanks though

[trail kraken]

is there anything important at rdv 1 or nah

I know there was bones near rdv 2

[thick umbra]

System has Magnetised Ferrite ... if that matters

[trail kraken]

got enough of that but thanks

[dusty elm]

When I signed on the expedition today this message was on the side of my screen and stays there. Any clue how to get rid of this?

[austere ivy]

could somebodyd help? i am stuck on the expedition phase to climb to a summit of 1,600 units but i can't find a summ9it high enough

[indigo falcon]

rendezvous 2 and 3 worlds have mountains tall enough, just look around; if you find something within a couple hundred units you can build up from there, then jetpack from the top of that to make up the difference

[austere ivy]

ok, thank you

[thorn turtle]

Some folks built few bases just for that, look through the portals

It will say 1600 In the name

[austere ivy]

ok

i will ahve a look

[thorn turtle]

You can find quite a few points of interest this way. Plus glyphs, ships, tools

[austere ivy]

ooooo ok i will have a look in a minute

[remote thunder]

do you still need help with this? if yes, try asking around #nms-questions

[ancient ingot]

How do I complete the all that you survey milestone? I’ve traveled to 10 planets now, and none have a mountain above 500u

[cold tulip]

#nms-expedition message

[ancient ingot]

Ahhhhh, thanks!

Is there a limit to how high I can build with the terrain manipulator, I’m trying to do all that you survey, and don’t have enough materials for alloy buildings, but cant build past 1447u

[remote thunder]

i can tell you that there are spots on rdv2, 3 and 5 planets that will let you land high enough that you'll just have to either exit ship or walk/jetpack for a few meters to the top to complete that milestone

land as close to the top as you can 🙂

[wanton frigate]

The very first planet, where you get the ship, has tonnes of mountains that are tall enough, but rendezvous 5 has you covered if you're too far beyond that. Whole planet looks like a music visualiser with delusions of grandeur.

[remote thunder]

absolutely, i basically face tanked against a mountain top seconds before dropping inside atmos lol

[dusty elm]

Signed on a while ago and it was gone😊 Thank you!

[ancient ingot]

Alright

Thanks

[lost sphinx]

I think it wants you to breathe and live forever. Lol

[ancient ingot]

Is there an expedition every 4 weeks? Or is there time In between them?

[fading mauve]

how do i transfer the items of my expedition to my main save?

[ashen shore]

I completed the expedition

[trail iron]

There is an expedition every 3-4 months. Each lasts about 6 weeks.

[ancient ingot]

Got it, thanks!

[trail iron]

Usually around xmas they rerun that year's expeditions, each for a 2 week or so

[hazy sparrow]

What's the best way to find Ancient Ruins for Nameless History? Should I build an Exocraft? The Signal Booster ain't producing, it keeps finding useless buildings.
Update: Found out that you have to have the quest selected in order to get the option for the Signal Booster to point directly to one.

[ancient ingot]

How do I collect rewards? Like if I open the appaling egg in the expedition, will I still be able to get the lil guy in my main save? Or do I have to leave it uncollected, or just not open it?

[hazy sparrow]

eggs don't transfer I don't think, you have to collect them from the QS vendor I think.

[ancient ingot]

So I can open it in the expedition, them I can claim it from the vendor in main save aswell?

[hazy sparrow]

I would wait to see if you can copy it first, just in case it is NOT vendor claimable.

[ancient ingot]

Alright, I will just incase, thanks!

[torpid mauve]

congrats!!

[strong steeple]

If anyone wants like...1% more immersion, listen to Warframe's "We All Lift Together" as you complete the final phase. Eerily fitting.

[torpid mauve]

i love warframe

[timid raptor]

Do you get nanites at some point or is it more

A thing your expected to do and know to do

To send yourself runaway mold or something at the start

[meager scroll]

Starting planet spawns plenty of worms

Kill them, refine the eggs and the rope fragments for nanites

[timid raptor]

Bit late now i left them already 😭

I need like 16 k for my ship n multi tool

[meager scroll]

I think the RV planets also spawn these worms

Though might not be as efficient

[ashen shore]

Thank you but it isn't my first expedition

I've played all of them

[timid raptor]

Man i hate this robotic life one

[indigo falcon]

don't forget to use the pins in here for that; one is a nice guide on how to do it on the cheap, other pins are to specific systems near rendezvous planets, that have these life forms.

[timid raptor]

They didn't show up because the nearest one was so far away lmao

And it only had two so i had to keep looking because it wouldn't give me another

[indigo falcon]

robotic life forms are two per planet, always.

[timid raptor]

What does it mean chart waypoints

I found one is it one per planet or one per system that i can do thatll count

[indigo falcon]

find them and go interact ("save-and-chart"), the planet or system doesn't matter, just doing the interaction

you can fly low and scan with the ship scanner looking for the unknown building icon, when you get to it, if it's got one of those white save-and-chart points, land, interact, and continue on

if you find 12 on one planet those all count, if you find each one in a separate planetary system those all count, doesn't matter!

[timid raptor]

Thanks

[rose veldt]

// wrong channel 😄

How do I find the derelict freighter for dereliction? I’ve already gone through 3 full pulse engines and still no sign

I’m in the derelict freighter, but theres Invisible barriers blocking where I need to go, any help please?

[crimson sail]

What do you mean copy the Vulture? This is my first expedition.

[quaint karma]

I am stuck here on the "Dereliction" misson phase 4. What Should I do?

[meager scroll]

You need to get the security credentials from the data logs scattered on derelict

The ipad looking thingies placed on tabletops, shelves, sometimes on blue crates

[quaint karma]

Thanks!

It worked, I had missed a few data logs

[calm yoke]

Just want to confirm this method still works right? It's been a few weeks

[blazing fossil]

Yes

[calm yoke]

cool cool

[blazing fossil]

Go to the expedition terminal on the anomaly

[crimson sail]

Do I need to be in my primary save not the expedition save right?

[quaint urchin]

If you visited the space station in the starting area, you can go to any space station and teleport back there. Also, there is a mission to steal eggs. It is called Stirring the nest. Each egg will refine into 50 Nanites and you can collect and refine as many as you want.

[remote thunder]

to copy a ship equipped in expedition, yes

you can return to primary, copy it as many times as needed, go back into exp - could even do this with other different ships

[timid raptor]

Completed the expedition

[vale shoal]

what technologies should i take with me to expeiditon

[remote thunder]

not much is needed, exp13 is easy; if you're going to copy a ship from primary, you'd basically only need the nanites to claim the ship. i guess i'd bring 1-2 upgrade modules for exosuit

[vale shoal]

wait what ship copy? is it going to take thigns from my main save or remove stuff ?

[remote thunder]

copy != delete

copy is a literal copy

^ starting an expedition/from existing save

[vale shoal]

ahhh thanks

but how do i get my friend to join me ? and what stage do i get my ship and toold from my main save

ok i got my friend to join me but still dont know where to buy my ship and tool for nanites

[remote thunder]

it's not unlocked at the start; progress the expedition, warp to a new system, claim relevant milestone, then you'll be able to summon anomaly and interact with exp terminus to copy ship. don't forget to bring items that you can refine for nanites, or you'll have to rely on progress in exp to earn enough (~3k nanites for ship)

[stable onyx]

Anyone try to reach the galactic center before completing the expedition?

[stable onyx]

I'm curious how the expedition handles that.

[remote thunder]

shouldn't have a problem with it, after all it's a base mechanic, core warping i mean

[stable onyx]

What I'm wondering is if the next galaxy would have NPCs removed from it.

Or if you'd be allowed to travel to the next galaxy at all.

[remote thunder]

you'd be allowed, simply won't have any npcs either i imagine

[proper saddle]

I’m curious

Has anyone done an animatronic sentinel drone before?

Seems like a cool cosplay idea

[hardy creek]

... are there any sentinel ships on dissonant planets?

[remote thunder]

there's 1 sentinel ship design per suitable dissonant system; a gek/korvax/vykeen dissonant system, where there's at least 1 dissonant planet that doesn't have rusted metal or gold in the resource list

[hardy creek]

great, thanks!

[uncut sequoia]

Any recommendations on what to being to adrift? It's my first expedition

[unborn vessel]

I’m a little confused on nms expeditions, do they benefit your main play through at all? Or is it just a new tweaked play through

[torpid mauve]

yes the rewards carry over to your main save and there are some really good rewards

[quaint urchin]

When starting the expedition off of your main save, remember you can make a copy of your ship and multitool once you reach the anomaly in the expedition. Because of this, you should only need some modules for your Exosuit. Also, bring something you can refine into Nanites. You will need around 2800 for making a copy of your ship and something like 2000 to copy the multitool. I think the cost is based on the class of the ship and multitool. Don't bring anything to sell for Nanites because there's no one to purchase it from you in the expedition. Check the pins for other information.

[low light]

There's a video on it on YT, it's all empty

Well, video is about the expedition lore, not the fact that it's empty. But yeah they confirmed that all the galaxies have the tag abandoned, something like that

[sleek siren]

Interesting. that means the flipped flag is done across the whole game

[strong steeple]

you get sent back to the worm planet...to do it all again......

BWAAAAAAGGGH

[iron tendon]

Same thing happened to me. The terminal at the anomaly just took my mind ark and I had to craft another. Good thing is that you can buy hypnotic eye from the space station

[remote thunder]

further down the convo they mention they just went back in the anomaly, and interacted with terminal prime again, and it gave mind ark back

[arctic lantern]

one thing i hate with the expedition: after scrapping iron vulture you cant get it again

anyone maybe know a fix?

[junior niche]

You should be able to get another if your main save was used for the expedition. If it wasn’t and you made another then that is why. You need to finish the expedition with the vulture on your main save to be able to get more. If you did this and you still can’t idk

[remote thunder]

that's always been the case with claiming expedition rewards that are unlocked account wide: once per save

the solo way to get iron vulture parts is to start exp13 from an existing save, most of the times a player's main save

pinned post #nms-expedition message

that said:

you can get a friend to join you: scrap the ship for the first part, push part to friend; reload restore point, scrap again, push 2nd part to friend, reload, repeat for 3rd part, reload one last time to get iron vulture back if you want to

if you save after scrapping it, you can't undo that operation, unless you save edit to allow you to claim the ship again in that save

[junior niche]

But then after you can get duplicates of the vulture that only lasts until expedition end right?

[remote thunder]

when started from existing save? yeah, that's right - only until exp ends

then exp terminus loses that stash/copy ship+MT function

[calm flax]

@remote thunder Could you remind me again which rendezvous the ancient bones are at? My online discovery services aren't connecting.

[remote thunder]

rdv1

[calm flax]

Thank you.

with this being the 6th time I'm doing this expedition I should be able to remember things like that.

[remote thunder]

nah, lots of stuff to remember

[calm flax]

Yeah especially since I'm playing 3 other games also.

@remote thunder Are you having an issue with things rendering in? I'm having trouble even landing. I'll hover for a long time and when I see things render in I can finally land. I'm also having things appear and disappear while I'm looking at them. I just had a rock in front of me appear and disappear over and over.

[remote thunder]

hmm, 1) haven't experienced the slow loading terrain in a while, but i guess this could possibly be made worse when there's lots going on in the system, like from other uploaded player bases nearby perhaps 2) have not noticed this recently, and also not on rocks, but on star bulb, some weird issue that if i aim my camera carefully at one specific spot, i can see the star bulb object "in the corner of my eye" vanishing when it should still be there; if i look straight at it again, it renders

[calm flax]

It was just happening with rocks for me. When I was looking at them. Earlier it was trees. I had an open straight line to an animal I was trying to scan. Turns out a couple of trees started appearing then disappearing. I figured that was causing the problem of not being able to scan the animal

[remote thunder]

ime, there's some objects, across several biomes, that are having issues of some kind, like lod - barren quickly comes to mind, with some of the tall rock formations with a tuff of grass on top often being rendered at a detail setting that's quite simply just too low - i rather not have anything there at all

[ancient ingot]

Yeah, when I checked, it was in my starship inventory for some reason, did you check there before crafting?

[echo tide]

Can you buy an Iron Vulture on every save?

[shy stirrup]

yea

and if u did the expedition on your main save its possible to claim and scrap it multiple times, but only on main save and i think u have to end the expedition thru the menu instead of from anomaly

[remote thunder]

returning to primary through options/Log tab basically keeps the expedition run "ongoing", so that player can return back in - this is important, if the player wants to switch between multiple ships/MTs they've obtained in expedition, returning to primary to make as many copies as they want

if the player has no desire of copying different ships, and just want to work with vulture for example, then they can make sure they have vulture equipped, claimed all milestones and rewards, and then end expedition to permanently return to primary; but they'll be able to claim as many vultures/whatever MT they had equipped as they want still

[brazen leaf]

can "Be Still, Calm Voice" be done on any planet

I've been doing the thing for quite awhile atp

[remote thunder]

yeah, but during night time

just literally goto night side, look up at the sky, you'll see the counter on the lower right

[brazen leaf]

For whatever reason it wouldnt count down until I pinned it

[remote thunder]

yes, it does need to be the active mission

[mild sable]

Wait how much more time is left for adrift?

[forest oak]

18 days

[mild sable]

is it worth making a new save and starting it once i reach anomaly?

[forest oak]

July 15th is the end

[mild sable]

im bored of my 2x 400 hour saves rn

[forest oak]

you can start on any save

[remote thunder]

or from scratch

[mild sable]

ohh i forgot i can just make an expedition save

once i make an expedition save and finish it will it start me back on a random planet with broken everything?

[forest oak]

When you finish the expedition you will be on the anomaly

[mild sable]

ah so it skips intro parts, ill probably just boot up a new save and get to anomaly

[forest oak]

You will be given an S class ship at the end

and you can also pick up the technologies and items that you received during the expedition

[mild sable]

hmm so if i get to anomaly on a normal save then do expedition ill probably make more progress on the expedition one?

ive never touched an expedition in my 800 hours

[forest oak]

and of course nanites and units

[mild sable]

ok good to know thanks!

Expedition 13: Adrift

Event ends <t:1721048400> (<t:1721048400:R>)

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

[remote thunder]

when you claim all milestones and phase rewards and final reward on a exp13 save started from scratch, it will auto convert early to a normal mode save. iirc, it doesn't do an automatic reload like when finishing a run started from an existing save, it straight up converts it on the spot, and when you get back to main menu, it will even say that it's a normal mode save now. that said, after conversion, it should drop you right about at the end of awakenings/beginning of alone amidst the stars, but with all the gear and items etc you obtained during the expedition run

[mild sable]

ahh ok, is there any benefit to starting an expedition save and converting as opposed to starting a new save reach anomaly then start expedition?

[remote thunder]

the latter, making a new save, for example in creative mode, and then starting the expedition run from there would let you bring resources into the expedition run ofc, and ability to use the terminus to copy equipped ship/MT

for example, let's say you know you'll need 12 crystal sulphide. you could go on your just made creative save, no hazards no difficulty basically, and gather those 12

[pallid minnow]

are we able to transfer upgrades from expedition into our actual save?

[remote thunder]

upgrades like inventory upgrade items, or upgrade modules, or packaged upgrades or tech, yes

we're also able to copy full ship or MT tech inventories

spending the nanites, allowing the player to get multiple copies of the same tech for example

[pallid minnow]

nice, so it isn't a waste if I spam buy packaged tech

[remote thunder]

will also be able to transfer items like sus packets or emergency signal scanners, yep

[pallid minnow]

perfect, thank you

[pallid minnow]

what about expansion modules?

[remote thunder]

inventory upgrade items, yep

[pallid minnow]

thanks

[coral blaze]

Heck, started playing it yesterday and the expedition feels so unnerving and uncanny to me

[faint mesa]

It is, it's weird to be alone...
But it felt beautiful in a way to me. The nebulae helped. 😅

[coral blaze]

What kind of planet should i be looking for with high mountains?

[remote thunder]

rdv2, rdv3, and rdv5 are all suitable planets for that milestone; just fly around/try different "continents"/sides of the planet, you shouldn't have much difficulty finding multiple mountains tall enough for you to land and complete the milestone (maybe have to walk to the very top for a bit 😄 )

[coral blaze]

what does that rdv mean XD

[remote thunder]

sorry, rendezvous

[coral blaze]

Ah i see, gonna go for rdv2 since im already close to it

[cobalt gyro]

Where do I find a Dissonant system

[ashen shore]

Go to "catalogue and guide," then select "materials and items," then select "raw materials-exotic," then select Atlantideum, select locate locate, this is the fastest way.

[cobalt gyro]

I just discovered I have cloaking

[ashen shore]

It lasts forever if you spam the button with the right timing. Hacking sentinel pillars may be wierd however which way tho.

[hazy sparrow]

I'm about to finish the expedition, a couple of questions:

• Can you scrap ships before you go back to main save, or do you have to transfer them one at a time and sell them on your main save?
• You get an egg, can that transfer (I suppose I will find this out when I try)

[hazy sparrow]

I have yet to get aggroed hacking a sentinel pillar, even on aggressive planets.

[ashen shore]

The egg won't transfer I believe, I don't recommend scrapping your ship just make sure you have the right ship selected as your primary before ending it will cost 2800 nanites to clone that ship as many times as you like I suppose the others can be scrapped.

[ashen shore]

If you do the Nexus mission "Hacking a sentinel pillar." You may discover that even with cloaking you are detected they'll go into searching but every 3-4 seconds they find you again.

So it "may" be wierd

[hazy sparrow]

That mission is different, you will specifically get aggroed by the standard waves no matter what you do.

I always jet to the top of the pillar and fight them from there, easy peasy assuming you have a jacked neutron cannon or similar multitool.

As for scrapping ships, I don't really need the money, was just wondering if they can be scrapped while still in the expedition.

[ashen shore]

I don't think so

All the stations are abandoned so you can't find a station I believe is the issue

[hazy sparrow]

K, not important, nothing major found just junk ships. Thanks.

[ashen shore]

Cats will be cats, mine drools when you pet her.

[ashen shore]

I have 5 cats

I'm a big cat person

Yeah they're great for company, I couldn't handle many myself, but I wish I could

And I don't want my own behaving differently, she's really sweet. Just drools when you pet her

[cobalt gyro]

Dogs are better

[ashen shore]

Nothing wrong with your choice of pet, I've got two dogs for the house and another 3 around. It's a functional arrangement and I haven't had a trespass in years

Mail people do wierd stuff though 😕

#nms-expedition 👈 👉 #off-topic-bond-james-bond

[ashen shore]

Mb you can totally beat the expedition in less than an hour with this new method fam! Hold on where is it.

Jk

You can beat in about 2 though with a good supply and a no compromise playstyle.

[cobalt gyro]

whoa a wall of text

[ashen shore]

Yeah I've detailed the entire expedition now 😦 I didn't post everything. There was an issue with tech count so I'll have to start another exp now to correct 1 mistake

Otherwise that wall of text could have let you beat in about 2:20 like me cause that other playthrough wasn't good 😦

You get to about phase 4 rdv and there's no sped at all

I've got to make a correction, because I use a a very specific resource count, and it wasn't right at the end of the tst through.

The information should be available tomorrow sometime but until then it's fun to tease

[hazy sparrow]

What happens to the freighter you get in the expedition? Does it just go poof? I take it the ghost frigate is a QS vendor expedition item?

[ashen shore]

Expedition reward. But if you choose to keep the save you can keep that specific 1

[iron tendon]

Ah ok, cool thanks

Ah yeah, it was in my starship inventory. But using it on the boundary portal did consume it though

grah experiencing an expedition breaking bug

I just went through a derelict freighter and it didnt give me the checkpoint

[tulip spire]

Hello everyone
When does the expedition end?

Oh, i see
Sorry

[remote thunder]

sorry for the late reply; did you spawn the derelict freighter yourself, using the emergency signal scanner obtained from another milestone?

[remote thunder]

nothing to be sorry about 🙂

[tulip spire]

Why i can't interract with the relic in phase 5-3?
Is it bug?

[remote thunder]

you mean the grave?

[tulip spire]

Yes

[remote thunder]

do you have options/network/multiplayer enabled?

[tulip spire]

Yes

[remote thunder]

i'd suggest disabling it, then enter+exit ship, return to main menu, load save again, then try interacting with grave again

[tulip spire]

Ok, i'll try it

[cobalt gyro]

Yes I did.

[remote thunder]

did you have options/network/multiplayer disabled, and the right milestone selected? did you get all the 3 terminals?

[tulip spire]

It didn't work for me 😔

[remote thunder]

i'd suggest using another surge battery, scanning again with signal booster

[tulip spire]

I've tried it, but it marks the same grave
Maybe i should try this on another planet

[remote thunder]

yeah, i'd try going to a different (gek or korvax or vykeen) system

[tulip spire]

Thanks

[cobalt gyro]

I dont have the multiplayer disabled and I did hit all 3 terminals

[remote thunder]

but did you have mp enabled when you started the derelict freighter mission? also, to confirm, you've obtained both crew's manifest and captains log, as well as either a freighter cargo bulkhead or a freighter upgrade module?

then i'd suggest farming for example some ancient bones, 2M or so worth, sell them, then buy another emergency signal scanner from the trade terminal; then warp to a system that's not a part of the expedition route, and save in the station, then use the ESS again

[tulip spire]

It worked on another planet in the same system

[remote thunder]

nice

[cobalt gyro]

I already have 5MIL

[cobalt gyro]

Yes.

[remote thunder]

fwiw, for me it completed right after i finished interacting with engineering room terminal, which was the last terminal i interacted with

[tulip spire]

Those last tasks, they are... So intimate

[cobalt gyro]

giggity

[trail iron]

Highly recommend you go to a system where no other players are present to do the derelict; avoids many issues.

[civic forge]

How do you land on the ghost freighter? Seen it twice. Pinged it twice and nothing. It just disappears.

[remote thunder]

ship of the damned is a frigate, not a freighter; it also can't be boarded, which should mean that it can't be damaged

[civic forge]

Oil got them mixed up. Ok if memory serves seen the frigate x2. So you can’t interact with it ?

[remote thunder]

not beyond the pulse encounter, and when later claiming the phase reward that unlocks it account wide, no

[civic forge]

Ok

[iron tendon]

Guys, I'm at the stage where I fixed the crashed ship. Problem is, I don't have enough inventory (or don't want to expand inventory too much). If I go to a space station to sell my unessential items, when I come back, will my original ship still be here?

[remote thunder]

no need to worry; if you claim (or buy) a ship, not exchange (we can own up to 12 ships), your other ship(s) are still in your collection. you can spawn them relatively easily, for example in space station, using on foot quick menu/summon vehicles/swap docked ship

[iron tendon]

Awesome, thanks

[copper trail]

yeah you dont need to worry about "losing" a ship, the only way to not have access to a ship anymore is if you intentionally sell it/scrap it/exchange it

unless your game bugs out in such a horrific way that the ship is deleted, but I havent heard of something like that happening and I doubt it would ever happen

[ashen shore]

There's no where to scrap, exchange, sell, buy or build starships in the exp.

The only way you lose your ship is if it's not selected as your primary when ending the exp, assuming you're starting from an existing save.

Otherwise it doesn't matter.
But be aware to have the correct ship selected as your primary if you intend to clone it for parts.

[civic forge]

How do you complete the”Lost in Space” mission if you can’t get past the second door?

[remote thunder]

did you spawn the derelict freighter yourself?

if yes, do you have multiplayer disabled?

if no, are you trying it in a system where there's other players? don't, goto a different system, where there's no one but you, or just disable multiplayer then save+reload from main menu and try again

[vale knoll]

When it comes to the freighter two questions

1. Do you have to take it
2. Does system you do it in change what it looks like.

[remote thunder]

1. you should, it's part of claiming a milestone, it will help some in the expedition, it's not like it would be a problem to change later
2. i think it's always the same regardless of system, but i'm not sure now

[vale knoll]

Can you do freighter missions once you get it.

[remote thunder]

i didn't notice if it comes with a frigate or not, but there won't be a way to get frigates though. i wouldn't bother wasting time with those things, unrelated to completing expedition objectives

[civic forge]

Yes spawned for me.
Now have to hack my way passed an open door?

[remote thunder]

interacting with the terminal on the left, and picking the relevant option should begin a short timer, after it ends door opens

[civic forge]

No the door to next section is open. Can’t cross threshold. Living slime in the way

[remote thunder]

yeah, i'd reload, goto a different system (there's 1+n interior derelict freighter unique layouts per system, where n is the nr of moons in the system), and reuse emergency signal scanner

[civic forge]

So you’re supposed to recharge your pulse drive a few times to get the ghost to show to get the freighter?

[remote thunder]

this is still about completing phase 4 milestone 6?

[civic forge]

No the lost in space mission

[remote thunder]

"lost in space" is the support mission to explore a derelict freighter that gets added to Log when player spawns a derelict freighter, using emergency signal scanner item.

there's no milestone titled lost in space

[civic forge]

I ok is it’s a waste of time?

[remote thunder]

p4m6: dereliction - completely explore a derelict freighter
reward: restored freighter command

it's a milestone.

to explore a derelict freighter.

go through the derelict freighter - get secure credentials (interact with log snippets scattered around rooms till you get them), then the crew terminal, then the captains terminal, then the engineering room terminal

that will complete phase 4 milestone 6, allowing you to claim it after, and get the freighter as a reward

[civic forge]

Ok

[civic forge]

Will that was a waste of time. 3 restarts and got stopped further and further from out from freighter.

#nms-expedition message

[hazy sparrow]

Ah, very important note, don't use the terminal to switch back. Thanks.

[loud inlet]

What would yall recomend bringing with me into the expidition?

[trail iron]

there's nothign absolutely needed that the expedition doesn't supply, of course, but you can speed it up a touch by bringing an indium drive. You may wish to bring survey device if you like basebuilding, and I'm not sure there's anything else of incredible importance. Know that there are no vendors on the anomaly - so only the base building and synthesis terminals are available.

Maybe bring some cash items and a nutrient processor; of note that you will start with an abyssal eye in your inventory, this is required later on.

Guys, I found a 2nd ancient ruin but instead of being a complete building, it's just bits and pieces of walls and ramps. There is a gravitino ball at the top of the ramp. But can't really see how to interact with the ruin to get it to register
Update: I realised that there were 2 large crates that needed to be unlocked (total of 6 ancient keys)

The building will say ancient ruin in the visor but they may not count. In the expedition you probably noticed at these locations there is no knowledge stones, & there is no memoir device. You can still obtain the appropriate location from other Ruins, which are still found via observatories. If you use the ruins location service to track this specific variant, then the discovery will not count at the secondary location. But you can still find keys and large artifacts crates easily.

Oh ok, cool thanks, luckily in this case, the opening of the large crates caused it to be registered 🙂

does this expedition let you bring over items and gear from your main save like the last one did?
