[remote thunder]

yes

[hardy creek]

... yall got any ideas on how to find Activated Copper?
Other than just wasting warp cells going system to system?

[remote thunder]

starter system has a planet with act copper; that said, focus on pushing through to rdv systems/complete rdv milestones, while scanning/reading all planets resource lists, to find out what's around you

[hardy creek]

Litterally the next system over...

[iron tendon]

I pretty much did it the hard way by warping and landed on several planets that were too extreme to survive more 1min away from my ship. And eventually got lucky to find a planet that had periods where you didn't need hazard protection

[tacit schooner]

if i did expedition on the same main save do i click end expedition and then on main save it will be possible to exchange iron vulture multiple times for parts?

[remote thunder]

check this pinned post <#nms-expedition message>

[lusty slate]

Because the Switch version wasn't right for you personally. Some of us are fine with it.

[hearty scarab]

Bro I'm stuck at the start where the hell do I get chromatic metal

I'm getting mad 😭😭

[remote thunder]

get and refine copper

complete phase 1 milestone 3 and you'll have personal refiner mk2

silicate powder+dihydrogen refines to deuterium

[stone lotus]

how many tech slots do you get with this expedition for carrying over items from another save? I forgot and I'm afraid if I go to check, it'll lock me into it

[meager scroll]

Should be the same for current exped

[stone lotus]

thanks

[rustic coral]

I haven't figured out how to move over anything except the ship and freighter to my other save.

Can I move my tech and stuff?

[cobalt gyro]

yes

[remote thunder]

do you still have an expedition save ongoing? did you start from existing save, or did you make a new save?

[glad rover]

Have you had activated copper before? If so go find it in your caralogue and pin it. The game will then help you find it.

[hardy creek]

I have some now thanks all!

[rustic coral]

I do still have it going, and i started it on a new save

[remote thunder]

what is that you wanted to move to your main save exactly?

because we can't really move stuff to our existing saves without needing another player to hold items while we change saves, unless we started the expedition from an existing save

starting from existing is the only way to use the expedition terminus, where the stash is

that said, ofc, all phase and final rewards are unlocked account wide, and can be claimed once in any save,present or future - but you probably already knew that

[wanton inlet]

probably items that are harder to find honestly

i ended up moving some stuff via DNA honestly because some of that was super valuable to my main save for things like cursed dust or something like anomoly detectors etc but i also wanted to transfer over one extra emergency signal scanner so i didnt have to spend another however many units on more that were not used this time. just a guess though honestly

[civic ore]

odd question but any one have particular luck with the synthetic creatures? - those for the quest ‘ It’s Alive ‘

[tardy onyx]

I did it in 20 hours after not playing for over a year so I guess that's possible

[wraith junco]

Around 10h is average time.

[sullen meteor]

sounds like I need to get on it lol

[dusty elm]

I'm starting Ghost in the Machine, Is there any special things I should keep in mind before starting? My times kind of limited on finishing Exp.

[remote thunder]

be in a gek/korvax/vykeen system, have multiplayer disabled, have right milestone selected, use first option in signal booster

[remote thunder]

rdv2, 3 and 5 planets are suitable for this milestone

[dusty elm]

Thank you! Do I need phase 4 completed before I can move on to phase 5?

[remote thunder]

no, you do not

anything else just ask

[stone lotus]

So im not sure if this is intended or not, but it seems you can use expeditions to clone ships in your main save. Because I cloned my original golden vector in the expedition, I was able to re clone it again in my main save after I finished the expedition. I now have two golden vectors. I just wish I realized what was going on sooner because I would have rather cloned something else lol

But if it's still possible to "gift" ships to other players by abandoning them at crash sites, I now have a golden vector if anyone wants it

If it's possible, I'm looking for a second one of those haulers from the expedition going on now so I can turn it into parts without deleting my original one

[gentle solstice]

@stone lotus yo im new to the game, could i get whatever that is lol

dont really understand the rarity of the stuff or anything

[fluid cloud]

Thank you!

[hazy sparrow]

Well, I completed the expedition, and again I find solar systems and stations missing from my discovery data. At least this time it is much less than when I did Omega, and thanks to that experience I know how to fix it now. But this is really turning me off of doing expeditions, having to clone my pre-expedition save DiscoveryData::DiscoveryData-v1::Store::Record back to my current post-expedition save.

Part of what's really frustrating about this is I thought "uploading" discovered system data saved it with HG servers for others to see when they get there, yet when I get back this does not get downloaded to me; it tells me "Discovered today by NCIceman". Bull, I discovered it months ago, and have regularly revisited.

[remote thunder]

if you'd like, dm me the address of one of these worlds, the galaxy, and i'll portal there to double check

[hazy sparrow]

I understand there is a finite amount of ::Record entries, about 1350, but why can't it dump flora and fauna data first?

Next time pre-expedition I'm going to strip out all the flora, fauna, and mineral save data to make room for expedition stuff, adjust ::ReserveStore accordingly, and see what happens. Going to have to teach myself Python or something that is good at simple JSON manipulation to write scripts to do that.

[hazy sparrow]

Gimme a sec to "rediscover" all the planets just in case.
Edit: Grr, yep, still saying "first contact", even giving me messages like "highest radiation level ever" which is also wrong.

[remote thunder]

wasnt planning on uploading anything, in fact was planning on using a save i'll discard after, so as to never upload any data later on

[hazy sparrow]

Okay, here's the system. It should be called Wakoga Gamma, but it's showing me the original name of Wakoga-Safl.
The planet should be called Wakoga Delta (I screwed up naming it - hey, it was early) but the original name is Ildon A1. The symbols are:

(I thought the in-game screenshot tool captured the portal address as well, but mine did not)

[remote thunder]

assuming euclid; thanks, i'll take a look when i get a few and let you know

[hazy sparrow]

Yep, Euclid

[hazy sparrow]

Okay, it's definitely something weird about not downloading the data to me, because it is correctly identifying the system as Wakoga Gamma to me now, it just did not do it the first time I went there. I think it loads data differently based on porting to your base versus warping in - I am betting the latter is what loads it correctly.

[remote thunder]

yes, i usually give it a couple game restarts and enough play time for ods to finally download them

often just reuploading is sufficient too, it will conflict server side because there's already a discovery

[hazy sparrow]

I will still probably replace with my old ::Record data, as no telling what else went missing, and I don't care about any of the expedition systems, I put bases on the few worlds that matter.

I wonder, if you go back post-expedition, are they all still empty/abandoned?

[remote thunder]

nope

well, to elaborate, not necessarily ofc - there might be some cases, probably not many ofc, that actually are also abandoned in that region, but otherwise, no, exp13 universe is a "separate universe" (not really, more like an overlay)

[hazy sparrow]

Okay, the data is indeed there, I warped away and back and got the correct planet names. Strange that it only loads it to you when you warp there and not also when you portal.

Still of issue is the fact that the system went missing in the first place.
So my next step is to compare my system list before and after expedition, and see if easier to warp to the missing ones or just clone my old ::Record back like I had to do after Omega.

[remote thunder]

yeah, portaling definitely see that sometimes

[junior niche]

Is the previous space station interiors being used still? I know the interior before the last is the abandoned space stations now for example

[blazing fossil]

Old interior is only used for abandoned and outlaw stations

[remote thunder]

iow, abandoned and outlaw stations were untouched; prev space station interior is removed

[junior niche]

Thank you both

[ashen shore]

I don't understand. Rendezvous 3 is closest to rendezvous 2 but its super far away. And for some reason its no way near rendezvous 1 because the galaxy map stops at a system called yabinosle XIV

That's a long way from rend 2 to 3

And now i see why. Rend 3 is even further from rend1 than rend2 is

[ashen shore]

Oh right, warpdrive uogrades. Didn't see those

[remote thunder]

multiple milestones have hyperdrive related unlocks

e.g. phase 2 milestone 2

[hazy sparrow]

I have noticed in expeditions that they like to loop back on themselves. The game does reward you for distance travelled, but sometimes you can teleport back to a previous system's station and the next rendezvous will be very near it. Handy if fuel is low.

[remote thunder]

being aware of where we're going, where we've been can certainly be helpful

[little robin]

soo if i plan to do the expedition now on my main save after having it done already on an alt, it's best to grab the iron vulture form the kiosk now right?

since i won't bve able to after i do the expedition

[remote thunder]

is this about getting parts to ship build?

[little robin]

mhm!

just a free one more ship before i do the expedition

[remote thunder]

sorry for the late reply, please see <#nms-expedition message>

[little robin]

i don't get it >.<

this doesn't work with this one right?

it has to be in the " get items from ur expedition" screen i think?

[remote thunder]

if you're going to do another run, starting from your main save this time, you could claim vulture from the qs shop in your main save, equip it, upgrade it first if you want, then start expedition. once you're in expedition, you can just pause/options/return to primary, and copy vulture multiple times to salvage it to get the parts

[little robin]

oh wait not finishing the expedition..

[remote thunder]

just need to have enough free ship slots to do it

[remote thunder]

was getting to that part

then

you return to expedition, and finish it

[remote thunder]

you could also do this^ at the end of this 2nd run

instead of doing the whole return to primary thing

this post would fit then <#nms-expedition message>

there's no diff between finishing and not finishing it when the goal is to get multiple copies of vulture alone, although your case has that other option, because you already completed exp13 in a save started from scratch

[little robin]

i didn't know there was a way to switch between expedition and normal like that, is that new?

[remote thunder]

introd with exp12

same time they introd the ability to start from existing save

when they were added, this was the release post https://www.nomanssky.com/expeditions-update/

[little robin]

bruh what do i gotta do to unlock the anomaly?

[remote thunder]

warp out of the starter system, claim relevant milestone

[little robin]

oh indeed lol, thank you

[little robin]

oh waitttt i do the whole create a bunch of iron vultures in the expedition save, not the priumary one?

now i get it

ooh wow no actually

you can do it in either i guess, huh

[remote thunder]

yes

as long as it was the equipped ship

leaving expedition open to be able to return into it again is useful if you wanted to copy different gear

(so for that, to leave expedition open, you'd complete all, but leave 1 milestone unclaimed, for example)

[atomic shoal]

i love the vulture

it looks so cool

it just makes me want to recreate attack helicopters in a videogame

[remote thunder]

[main jackal]

hi there, i have very strange bug... when i put the mind ark in to the portal and go threw it i will spawn in the middle of the galaxy instead on the planet like normally... please help

That is intended behaviour, wait it out

aah mby i get it, the picture of the quest

cause i was following tutorial and he was on the planet... so i panicked

[sullen meteor]

anything special about the iron vulture?

It can hover 👀
And looks quite cool

[wanton inlet]

theres a ship trail override thats nice

[golden cargo]

@languid kiln go to the first planet and farm them there

[languid kiln]

alr, hopefully my rng doesnt screw me over and scam tf out of me this time

ty

[golden cargo]

Nope they should literally just be laying around

[remote thunder]

worm burrows? follow the titan worm

[civic ore]

anyone able to tell me how we make the hydrothermic fuel cells for the darn nautilus because in everything i’ve done prior i’ve not learned that recipe and we can’t access the anomaly :/ kinda screwed til i can figure this out

[remote thunder]

there's no need for it; you can install high powered sonar, enter nautilon, quick menu, sonar, scan for sunken freighters in a planet with water in a gek/korvax/vykeen system, and fly to and land as close to the added marker as possible - swim the rest of the way

remember that if you melee jetpack into water at a shallow angle, you'll keep that momentum as long as you keep holding "forward" underwater and don't bump into anything

just make sure you have enough launch thruster fuel in the tank, before landing on some island in the middle of nowhere

[little robin]

why's the iron vulture not an authenticated starship

[remote thunder]

doesn't? oh, didn't even notice; not sure, maybe because of the way they did it this time, we can salvage it for parts, maybe the game is "building" the ship too, not sure

[latent summit]

what happens if you go through the center of the abandoned galaxy?

[remote thunder]

just like always, you spawn in the next galaxy on the list (in this case, since exp13 is in euclid, then you'd be in), hilbert dimension

all abandoned as well

[latent summit]

woah

wacky

[remote thunder]

that only lasts, ofc, till you either complete and force convert to normal/back to primary, or expedition ends

[latent summit]

no longer abandoned after exp ends?

[remote thunder]

correct

[latent summit]

aw

[remote thunder]

if you grab glyph coords from a system in expedition 13, then portal to it using a normal mode save, you'll see that systems are back to normal, you're back on the usual dimension so to speak

same universe, just diff "reality"

Looks like i have to find some rbotic creatues. How would I find those planets

[remote thunder]

please see this pinned post <#nms-expedition message>

[civic ore]

The issue i have with this is ill have to swim for about an hour for any planet ive gone to thus far cause any time i try putting the nautilus in the water and any scan for anything ive tried is always 'no structures of this sort found' both in deep water and not, and any recent planets ive landed on even in the middle of the ocean the water isn't that deep 😭 so ill keep having to try and see if i can get or find how to make the fuel cell

but thanks anyway love ♥

[civic ore]

ohmylord you can make the fuel cells thank you Hello Games and heck to me for not opening my eyes 😭 thank you again though BK ♥ i started with ending up trying to do that im just happy i dont gotta swim to the one i finally found cause its 30m 😂

[remote thunder]

is always 'no structures of this sort found' both in deep water and not

exocrafts do have limited range, so sometimes we need to move like 1000, 2000u to scan again. that said, "no structures" sounds like you were in an uncharted system (no station, no race icon on galaxy map... no buildings)

[halcyon sparrow]

Anyone can help speedrun the new expedition?

Thank you!

[remote thunder]

there's multiple pinned posts in this channel that can give you tips, both in general for all expeditions and in specific for expedition 13. type !faq-pinsmobile in #bot-spam if you're on mobile and having a hard time getting to them. anything specific you need help with?

even if you don't rush, or "speedrun", you'll still be able to complete exp13 in a few hours

[halcyon sparrow]

Um this might sound really lazy of me but I travel a lot 😂 so I was asking if anyone would be willing to help me cheese the expedition and get it done under a few hours. Totally fine if no one wants to though!

[remote thunder]

but what kind of help would you really need? you're the one that has to complete the objectives, and playing in a group/with multiplayer enabled can lead to some road blocks/bug, which could mean that you'll then need to take time to fix, or retry

[halcyon sparrow]

Oh um I just started out with the first part. So basically just fixed my engines

Would you mind if I dm you regarding this so I don’t clog the channel ?:)

[remote thunder]

what's next? keep pushing through the milestones, before you leave the system i'd suggest - if you feel you're up for it, it can get a little tense right at the start - grabbing some activated copper, like 150-200 from the other planet in the starter system. not mandatory though, you can definitely find other planets with act copper later

[remote thunder]

i'd prefer if we kept it to questions and answers here, so that everybody can follow along

[halcyon sparrow]

Having trouble finding oxygen

[remote thunder]

quick scan for markers; use visor and aim at your feet to look for humming sac or subterranean relic icons, then dig down towards those icons till you find the cave, shoot hazardous plants. do not spend your life support tank needlessly, restrain yourself in the use of melee jetpack, rely on low gravity to keep you going, do not jetpack too high above ground, keep it to short bursts

starter planet is low grav but like any other dead planet has increased life support drain

walk, don't run - walking uses less o2, o2 you won't need to farm back

these are things you can do to save on fuel

keep an eye on space station terminals

[halcyon sparrow]

Got it thanks

[remote thunder]

do not drop the hypnotic eye you started with, although you can get another later ofc

scan all planets in a system before you move on, to see if any is suitable to complete a milestone on - remember that you can switch to phases ahead, and see what you'll have to do in the future. the easy ones first, like.. collect 8 bones. "scan all planets", remember? there's a planet on rendezvous 1 system that has ancient bones

collect 8 bones is a milestone from phase 3.

[trail iron]

take advantage too, if you find a building, of hitting the save post; you need 12 of these before the end of the expedition.

[hazy sparrow]

As a cheat of sorts, at space station teleporters look for players bases marked "Sunken Freighter". Will take you right to one.

[sudden reef]

If you die in expedition in permadeath, do you die on your save too?

[dim barn]

Expeds wont start as a perma, I believe, even if its based off of a permadeath save

[noble roost]

I cant seem to find a sunken freighter. Tips?

[dim barn]

You get a nautilus along the way, at some point

Can use that to scan for one

Or check the nexus or station teleporters to see if anyone has a base close to one

[remote thunder]

nautilon, install high powered sonar on nautilon, make sure you're in a gek/korvax/vykeen system, enter nautilon, open quick menu, sonar, scaan for sunken freighters

be sure to have mp disabled if you're doing so in a system with other players

[noble roost]

Hm i didnt see any milestones that gave me a sub ill have to check.

Ah the waypoint one. I need to find more of those.

[remote thunder]

when going to a planet, remember when flying around, to keep spamming quick scan if you don't get any markers; try landing on ones that have landing pads to save fuel; when you get inside atmosphere, look for any buildings on the way down/from afar asap

[north crescent]

Finally home from hell I mean work

Time for expedition

I can bring one multi tool right? Otherwise I’m going to be annoyed as fuck if I am given a two handed multi tool

[sleek siren]

you can copy one from the main save if you start expedition from the terminal

once you get to the anomaly

[north crescent]

Cool

Gonna bring the staff from the last expedition

It should look immersive in VR

[tiny brook]

is there a quicker way to find the structures needed to chart the waypoint milestone than the signal booster?

[north crescent]

Now that my PC is upgraded I can afford to play on max settings in VR

[sleek siren]

you are supposed to use the signal bbosster and chose the exclusive option of the expedition (nnot usually present in normal game)

[tiny brook]

okay got it

[trail iron]

any building with a waypoint flag will work. just find a system with a race listed and fly low over planets and hit scan

[tiny brook]

Oh wow didn’t know you could scan them like that 💀 thanks

zoology, on planets with 1-6 fauna, clicking that button for the extra nanite reward (see image); could also refine radiant shards found on dissonant planets, for example

Can refine loot from killing worms.

Or horror eggs

[lilac wolf]

I just completed the Expedition, do i need to do something to transfer the ships/ main expedition ship to my primary save or will that do it automatically when I end the expedition

[remote thunder]

answered in -help

[woven shadow]

Woo, done with the expedition!

Now I have another starship to kit out I guess

[upbeat tide]

why are only 2 terminals unlocked in the anomoly

i cant use the starship terminal to learn stuff

[remote thunder]

in short, you won't need it

[upbeat tide]

nor the exosuit one

[remote thunder]

you won't need any of those upgrades - take a moment to review rewards of milestones ahead, even of next phases

milestones will provide

this is also part of the journey

[south cairn]

I may have misunderstood how connecting your main save and expedition save works

[remote thunder]

is there a problem?

[south cairn]

not really? I just don’t suppose there’s a way to, like, move all the upgrades I didn’t use during the expedition to my main save

I just kinda misunderstood how the system works bc why read instructions when I can obviously assume how it works (and then be wrong, lol)

[remote thunder]

like, say, ship upgrade modules, or storage augmentation modules?

so you started the exp run from an existing save, got some stuff you'd like to bring back, and have claimed all milestones and phase rewards and final reward right? also equipped a ship and multitool you may actually want to copy (iron vulture is already available for you in the quicksilver shop, only need to equip it if you're interested in ship building/salvaging multiple times for parts, as shown in one of the pinned posts) once you're reloaded into primary?

just go interact with the exp terminus in the anomaly

add stuff to stash, finish it

[south cairn]

no yeah like what I mean is I started the expedition the old way/normal way instead of doing it through the terminal - so I got all the stuff that transfers between saves but oopsied on the being able to transfer inventory items

[remote thunder]

well..

[south cairn]

It’s really just a silly little mistake that’s on my reading skills being so trash it’s a joke

[remote thunder]

that's easy, unless you don't have access to multiplayer, and/or wanted to transfer packaged tech

[south cairn]

I do but unfortunately I lack friends 😎

[remote thunder]

hmm

i'm sure that if you stick around and get to know others here, you'll find members that are trustworthy and wouldn't mind holding some items while you swap saves

that said, you did already unlock all the phase and final rewards account wide, so it's basically just items

[upbeat tide]

so logs and stuff that you find on derelict freighters are useless and should just be sold through trade terminal?

[remote thunder]

can't turn them in exp13, can very well do what you will

[upbeat tide]

im assuming since there are no vendors or npcs then there is no one to give the logs to

[remote thunder]

right

[upbeat tide]

anyone know where i can get some movement upgrades for my jetpack?

like the double tap B thing i think they are the rocket boots

[remote thunder]

can't, no npc in anomaly to unlock it with; at most, it'd possibly be available from crashed ship site distress beacons, or memory fragments (phase5 milestone 6; traveler graves)

we do get a b-class jetpack module from a milestone, airburst engine from another milestone - and you could go hunting for damaged machinery, but imo it's not worth the time: it's not needed to easily push through the expedition, there's not big distances involved, 1600u high milestone can easily be done by landing on a planet with mountains high enough and just exit ship and done (rendezvous2, 3 and 5 are suitable for this milestone)

[pearl nacelle]

Are the planets in this expedition any different from the ones in a regular save? Like does a planet with the same coordinates end up being different between this expedition and a regular save

[remote thunder]

the planet itself is mostly the same, but for example, where in exp13 all systems are abandoned, in other modes those same systems might not be, and most likely will not be (there's a lot less abandoned systems normally, very small percentage) - in expedition 13, all buildings are abandoned, and whispering eggs are around many building types, where they normally do not spawn even

another example, in exp13 you can find planets with cursed dust; visiting those planets in other modes will not see cursed dust, but some other mineral

basically, exp13 is a new take on expeditions, messing with the universe to a degree

[upbeat tide]

can i just throw some copper into a refiner to make activated copper?

[remote thunder]

nope; will have to find a planet with activated copper on the resource list; starter system had one, for example

[pearl nacelle]

whew

[thorn gorge]

i want to restart my expedition on my main save. how do i do that?

[sleek siren]

to start expedition on an existing save, use the terminal at the anomaly

[thorn gorge]

i did and i didn’t put the resources i wanted to so i need to delete it

[low light]

Not sure you can

[remote thunder]

can't, afaik

[quiet gulch]

I thought you could return to main save if doing the expedition on an existing save (even if you haven’t finished it). I don’t remember if you can only do that at the Anomaly or it’s just in the expedition menu.

Now, if that allows you to add resources, idk, and I doubt it, tbh, as that only seems to be accessible at the beginning and the end of the expedition, I think

[sleek siren]

Yes to return without ending expedition you should use the pause menu

[civic ore]

actually had tried that originally, but with the expedition it was bugging out some of the uploads, but that's a great idea honsetly, i usually also upload things for that with other expeditions too for that reason to help, thank you love! ♥

[civic ore]

weird it didnt tag you

[civic ore]

Yea, it was a bit odd, i know about the limited range and such and i was in a korvax system im wondering if maybe i had a bug on my save file or something

Thank you guys though immensely, sorry this is late, had some health troubles

[remote thunder]

health comes first, hope all is better now 🤗

[tidal tartan]

I did the Expedition on the Ps4 version and I just switched to the Ps5 verison, do I have to redo the expedition?

[remote thunder]

using the same account? if you transfer the save from ps4 to ps5, you should have exactly the same saves, same everything you had even https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015591617-How-to-transfer-saves-from-PS4-to-PS5

[tidal tartan]

Thank you! @remote thunder

[hazy sparrow]

Well, this expedition did something interesting. At the expedition terminal, I was able to transfer stuff back to my main save multiple times. This let me pretty much move everything back.

And I was wrong about the expedition screwing my discoveries list, it turns out many of my systems were gone before I started it. Oddly, once I finished, my Discovered Systems list was full of ones I had never been to! I try to optimize my warps, but I had 3 pages of systems with all unknown planets that I have no idea where they came from.

So I went through ::Store::Record and pulled out only Sector, System, and Planet data discovered by me. All other systems and flora, fauna, and minerals I scrapped. With that list I should be able to reset ::Record when it gets wonky.

[upbeat tide]

anyone know a planet with huge mountains for the all that you survey quest?

[trim dome]

you can do it on any planet, just build stairs up up up

[faint mesa]

If I recall correctly, planets for rendezvous 2/3, perhaps 5 too (don't quite remember). It's a frequent question, you can do a quick search in this channel.

You can even do it in the starting planet for that matter, as it's low gravity and has some hills...

[upbeat tide]

thank

i tried the stairs method i dont wanna collect a shit ton of ferrite for stairs

[faint mesa]

No problem! It's an easy milestone. You'll even find some bases with stairs on these mountainous planets if there's the need. But they have high enough mountains. 🙂

[upbeat tide]

is there any way to actively look for derelict freighters? ik i used to talk to an npc for coordinates but im clueless about how to do anything in this expedition which im enjoying i love the lack of life

[remote thunder]

complete and claim phase 4 milestone 5, disable multiplayer, save+reload from main menu if you had it enabled, then use the scanner you got. trade terminals also sell emergency signal scanners for ~2M a pop

[glad rover]

Wood stairs also an option

carboncarboncarbon

[umbral forum]

I got the milestone by landing on a random player's base.

[glad rover]

Supreme submarine drive upgrade… well hello there

[remote thunder]

nautilon and high powered sonar will surely come in handy, but you don't really need to do any nautilon driving if you don't want to, can just fly after you get the sunken freighter marker and land as close as you can on some island nearby

[upbeat tide]

i found an anomaly of a skull with blue orbs in it its called grave of the ocean king i cant collect the blue stuff what can i do?

its in space

[tidal tartan]

Question, I started a new game after doing Expedition, how do i switch the nanites and quicksilver to my new save from the expedition? Im on anomly right now

[cold tulip]

Afaik, you can only do that with the save you started the exp with, not with a new one. Not sure tho.

[cold tulip]

Those are mostly just for show, try shooting it

[hazy sparrow]

Or find a player base where they've already done this for you.

[gentle sequoia]

Oh thank goodness completing the expedition doesn't mean i'm trapped alone in this universe..

[upbeat tide]

is navigation data useless in this expedition?

should i just discard it?

[hazy sparrow]

You can sell it for cash. Always keep a couple for summoning your ship. But I don't think any maps are needed this expedition.

[upbeat tide]

ok also i found a very fun way to get that height milestone

i found a planet with really low atmosphere and held my jetpack down till i reached the requirement

Planet name is Liminalice in system Owarakain

[hazy sparrow]

Liminalice doesn't live here any more. 😛

[upbeat tide]

what?

is there someone named liminalice?

[hazy sparrow]

It's a reference to an old move, "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore"

[upbeat tide]

ohh ive seen alice in wonderland before i just havent in a long time very good movie/story

[hazy sparrow]

It's not an Alice in Wonderland story, but we're getting off-topic. Google it if you're curious.

[grand elm]

Whoever posted that suggestion to fly low and scan for buildings with your ship—that was really helpful. I spent hours with the signal booster and only got 3, but got the rest in 5 minutes with the ship scanner.

For the “signs to nowhere” quest I mean

[teal eagle]

someone have detailed guide for this exp?

can't find it

[remote thunder]

well, tbh all you really need is to select a milestone, exit pause menu, wait for the related hint/tooltip lower right of the hud to appear, and just do what it asks. use your game knowledge about planets, scanning planets, what resources you can expect when you goto a different system, what do milestones ahead (even from phases ahead) will need you to collect (those are the easy ones, that you don't need much help figuring out what you need, or where to go to find such things. check pinned posts in this channel for general tips for expedition and for tips specific to expedition 13. type !faq-expedition in #bot-spam at any time to get a refresh. i would suggest having options/network/multiplayer disabled to avoid bugs.

[nova scaffold]

can we start expedition from Custom Save games?

[remote thunder]

shouldn't be a problem, as long as save has access to the anomaly; while in expedition, it has its own set of difficulty settings, which i wouldn't recommend changing

[nova scaffold]

ok thanks.

[remote thunder]

it's a phase reward - it gets unlocked account wide, you can go to the anomaly in any other save under the same account, existing save or future save, and claim it from the quicksilver shop

[hazy sparrow]

Remember, if you HAVE THE MISSION SELECTED, the signal booster will take you to the objective. If not, then you just get random objectives. Took me a while to realize that.

Post expedition, do Surge Batteries have a use?
Also, does anyone know if the Atlas figurine has a buff like the Polo one?

[wicked meadow]

in the expedition adrift, where do we get the Survey Device

[remote thunder]

surge bat does not have a use after; atlas buffs hyperdrive range; there's a pinned post in #nms-questions with the buffs descriptions

[remote thunder]

no need for it to complete the expedition, but i got one from memory fragments

how do i go about searching for space ships in this expedition?

[glad rover]

What kind of ships

[upbeat tide]

anything

not looking for the living ships just the regular ole ships

like a sunship with the sun sails

or one of the sentinal ships

im trying to use planetary charts but they dont do anything

[remote thunder]

you'll want to use emergency charts in a gek/korvax/vykeen system, that should work just fine, or you could use minotaur's radar array to scan for distress signals - for example, i had no trouble locating a sentinel ship, same way i do it in non-exp mode. i'd strongly recommend keeping multiplayer disabled

[upbeat tide]

how do i get an emergency chart?

[remote thunder]

only way to get them into exp13 would be to bring some from main save

[upbeat tide]

where are the ship terminals for editing/scrapping ships

[remote thunder]

there are none in exp13, all stations are abandoned

[upbeat tide]

so im unable to scrap this ship i found?

[remote thunder]

correct

[upbeat tide]

@remote thunder how do i increase space ship size?

like tech slots and cargo

[remote thunder]

there's a couple milestones that will let you apply starship inv upgrades; you can pick which inventory to apply the upgrade to, then apply

[desert escarp]

So until expedition closes in 9 days, 60% of game is blocked? XD

[remote thunder]

that's just in expedition 13, and if you claim all milestones, all phase and final rewards, if you started from new save, it will convert automatically to normal mode save, and be just as any non-expedition 13 save

[glad rover]

Idk if i would call Solar ships and sentinel interceptors regular old ships. Solar ships are more common in Pirate systems. Interceptors there are a few steps you have to do before claiming one.

[hard magnet]

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to getting the rewards out of it.

[hazy sparrow]

I did not find anything exceptional in this expedition (a 4 winged hauler-type interceptor was the most interesting), and since you can't scrap ships didn't see much point, but hey, happy hunting.

stick to yellow star systems - spectral classes G or F, capital letter, below system name in the galaxy map. (red star systems would have cadmium or activated cadmium @pseudo axle )

!faq-starcolor

[unkempt kraken]

<:NmsAtlas:972222451801010207> Spectral Classifications

In the Galaxy Map, below the star system name, you can find the spectral class letter:

• F & G = Yellow (copper/activated copper)
• K & M = Red (cadmium/activated cadmium)
• E = Green (emeril/activated emeril)
• B & O = Blue (indium/activated indium)

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

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

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

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

starter system for example, has a planet with act copper

[full orchid]

Yeah... for some reason it was directing me to wrong places. 😂

After restarting my Switch it finally worked.

Apologies. I should have mentioned I got it to work. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

[remote thunder]

nothing to apologize for

anything else just let us know

[desert escarp]

Is it possible to find a Sentinel interceptor in E13? I can't seem to find it or drop anything that woudl lead me to it

[remote thunder]

yes; you'd either get carrier ai fragment from destroyed sentinel freighter, or get an echo locator/harmonic camp (from specific dissonance resonators, approach one and aim at it to see what it will drop; you'll need at least 1 inv mirror and 3 rad shards to claim a sentinel ship), or even pulse drive in a dissonant system until you get the distressed sentinel ship space encounter (that's how i got mine)

[shell kettle]

Started a new Adrift save for no reason. Is there an easy way to get a Neutron Cannon or do I have to do the derelict freighter the intended way?

[remote thunder]

there's 1+n derelict freighter interior layouts per system (where n is the number of moons), but you can always just do the milestone in a system that has no enemies, or just jellyfish, but most importantly for exp, no infestation - starter system and rendezvous 1 have such easy layouts that you wont even need guns

[shell kettle]

I'll try that, thanks.

[remote thunder]

@arctic pulsar missions, and more specifically objective types have been matter of attention of the years, but with expeditions so far, the idea is usually short, fast objectives; this is probably because of a nr of different reasons, as usual the more dissatisfied players are the more vocal ones, but personally the reason why i like expeditions in general is because of the new start scenarios, being in the same regions as other players, with their presence being noticeable all around (otoh, i'm usually a solo player, i wander in areas no one has gone to before, according to ODS). starting expedition from existing save isn't all that appealing to me tbh.

[desert escarp]

Anyoen has a list or rememebrs what's needed to fix an interceptor?
I remember radiant shards, but what else?

[arctic pulsar]

I find myself caught between a hard place and a rock because on the one hand I don't want to do underwater exploration but I don't want to rush it and the expedition is timed, so anytime I feel slowed down it, I can't relaxed and just play

[remote thunder]

3 radiant shards, 1 inverted mirror

[desert escarp]

Thanks ❤️

[remote thunder]

remember that you don't necessarily need to complete this milestone now

[desert escarp]

Will recovering the interceptor count as ship recovery milestone?

[remote thunder]

you could skip ahead - and if there is another milestone that requires this one, you place that 2nd one on hold too, and move on

[remote thunder]

yes

[desert escarp]

YAY

[remote thunder]

keep mp disabled

[desert escarp]

Hm?

[remote thunder]

@desert escarp just after claiming it

[remote thunder]

if you're in a system with other players (options/network settings/view nearby player list), then options/network settings/multiplayer=disabled

[desert escarp]

I mean, my MP is disabnled, just curiosu why 😄

[remote thunder]

requires, or is easier to complete after claiming the 1st's reward

[remote thunder]

to avoid crashed ship site interaction data being synced across the system's network instance, possibly breaking things for others, or them for you

[desert escarp]

Ahh ok

Good safety tip for the future when scavenging ships

[remote thunder]

np, and absolutely - if you're portaling somewhere that players have posted coords online, be sure to have mp disabled before portaling (reminder: always double check galaxy you're in, and galaxy the address is in)

[desert escarp]

Hell yeah ❤️

"finishing an expedition" ^

the only way to get multiple ships and multitools into main saves is to return to primary through options menu/copy/return to expedition/change gear/return to main/copy, as many times as needed

after you complete expedition, you can no longer return to it to change to diff gear

freighter will not be migrated at all

[hard magnet]

@desert escarp I found a light planet in a blue system that had 2 synthetic animals.

[desert escarp]

Hahaha thanks, but too late 😄 I just finished the expedition 😉

[hard magnet]

@ahh nice! I just finished phase 4.

[desert escarp]

Hmmmmm I have a wierd thing that just made my blood run cold

But it's not copied. I didn't copy it

Also, looks liek I can copy Starship over form expedition unlimited ammount of times

[remote thunder]

is this in the main save? do you have this multitool in the main save already?

[desert escarp]

I do, but in a much weaker version

Will scrapping it allow me to claim the one from expedition?

[desert escarp]

^

[remote thunder]

strange that it says "already copied" though.

[desert escarp]

Agreed. And strange I can copy starships as much as I can afford 😂

[remote thunder]

is this in the main save?

[desert escarp]

Yes

[remote thunder]

is expedition over, or can you still return?

[desert escarp]

It's over

[remote thunder]

well, you can test this out and still be able to recover if it doesn't let you.

simple. just follow these steps:

• disable mp, goto anomaly
• store installed tech/modules from original MT, then (enter and) exit ship to update restore point save slot.
• go scrap MT
• goto exp terminus, see if it lets you now
• if it doesn't, pause/options/reload restore point

[desert escarp]

OK, I'll try

But why store btw?

[remote thunder]

that'd be basically duping the tech and modules, if you want

install them on some other tool you may get in the future

[desert escarp]

OK, it worked!

❤️

[remote thunder]

just the button label that's a bit misleading

good

thanks 😉

[desert escarp]

Thank you too ❤️

[candid hare]

Wait was this multitool from adrift???

[desert escarp]

No, it's a multitool I ported from my main save

@candid hare exp12 reward; exp12 is probably going to get rerun at the end of this year, giving any player the chance to unlock it account wide, if they haven't already

[gusty mauve]

started expedition from main save? do you like running derelict freighter missions?

2. never did a derelict freighter mission before? one of these? to get freighter upgrades for example?

[remote thunder]

always have, at the end of the year they're released in

[candid hare]

Anything I should keep in mind before leaving the 1st Rendezvous system?

[low light]

Not really, you completed the hard part

[earnest orbit]

I just finished all the tasks on Expedition #13 and it won't let me claim the freighter, is it a bug? or am I doing something wrong?

[remote thunder]

claim the freighter where, exactly?

[earnest orbit]

Phase 4, Derelict reward

trying to finish it in the expedition but it keeps showing -U

[remote thunder]

reload restore point, pause, options, network, disable multiplayer, save+restart game, try again

[earnest orbit]

okay thank you!

[remote thunder]

let us know if it worked

[earnest orbit]

did not work

[remote thunder]

so have you claimed the frigate already?

[earnest orbit]

No, it would be my first Frigate in the Expedition

[remote thunder]

or it doesn't let you because this one isn't claimedf

ok

[earnest orbit]

It's showing that I own a Frigate, but attempting to summon it, it says "I don't own a frigate"

and it won't let me claim the RIVE

[remote thunder]

well, this is a known issue, and it seems there's no workaround

try going to a different system and claim it again

Still didn't work

woot, how?

don't tell me you freed some inventory slots

[earnest orbit]

I have 1 MOD installed: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/797

I disabled it and it allowed me to claim the rest of the rewards

[remote thunder]

ah!

good to know.

beating myself up now

because that's usually something i always ask about

[earnest orbit]

No worries! lol I forgot that I installed it so long ago

[high solar]

I just learned you can do the expedition on your main save... right after completing it on a new save lmao

[remote thunder]

can start either way, but biggest thing about starting exp13 from existing is that starting from existing save allows player to salvage iron vulture multiple times to get its parts for ship building.

[high solar]

Oh cool

But I can just keep salvaging it and re-buying it with nanites, right?

[remote thunder]

using the expedition terminus, if started from existing save, yes. as described here: <#nms-expedition message>

we can't claim the same ship multiple times from the quicksilver shop/claim expedition rewards dialog option: only once per save

with the help of another player though, it would be possible to salvage a vulture claimed from qs shop multiple times for the 3 parts, but ofc, it's not as straight forward as the instructions on that post

im replaying the expedition again to refresh on the story before it ends, I really love the whole abandoned nexus thing, it feels so wrong and I love it

[unborn otter]

I logged in on XBOX last night to try and finish and it told me the Expedition was over which seemed odd since I thought it was going on til this weekend. It then had me convert my save to a normal save. Sounds like the Expedition is still going though and not sure if I'll be able to pick up where I left off. Did anyone else experience this?

[remote thunder]

expedition isn't over - sounds like a very nasty bug - what's going in my head right now doesn't really make sense, so i don't really have a theory on why that happened. i'd suggest raising a bug report if indeed the save is no longer an expedition save (assuming you started it from scratch)

[unborn otter]

Yeah I started it from scratch. Thanks for the advice. I’ll try that

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

[remote thunder]

you'd still have time to finish. for example, you could make a creative save on the side first, unlock anomaly in it, farm a bunch of resources/craft a bunch of useful stuff to take with you into expedition

[unborn otter]

That’s interesting. I’ve never tried creative. Thanks again for the tips and help.

[remote thunder]

i just did so lol. don't bring bones, it won't count. that 12 crystal sulphide, the radiant shards, that will insta complete the relevant milestones

[unborn otter]

Amazing. 🤩 Good to know!

[remote thunder]

exp13: starting from existing save: resources to bring: suggestions

• basics: ferrite dust, magnetised ferrite, o2, pyrite and uranium, warp cells/warp hypercores for ship refueling
• chromatic metal or ingredients for preferred chromatic metal refiner recipe (e.g. silver+gold+emeril, activated indium+pure ferrite)
• optional: 12 crystal sulphide
• optional: items to refine to nanites e.g. hyaline brain (1:230), inverted mirror (1:75), radiant shard (1:50), runaway mould (5:1)
• optional: items to sell for units e.g. starship ai valve
• optional: solar mirror
• optional: emeril or packaged indium drive, if not copying ship from main save
• optional: carrier ai fragment (to get a sentinel ship, complete phase3 milestone 5)
• optional: storm crystals for warp hypercore crafting and selling

putting that together for this week

will make it more pretty

[brittle gazelle]

dang it

I switched my starship before leaving the expidition and now I lost the new ship

[remote thunder]

iron vulture?

[brittle gazelle]

yea the event ship

[remote thunder]

you claimed the final exp reward, didn't you?

just didn't switch to it, right?

you already finished, not returned to primary?

so, now, if you goto anomaly/quicksilver shop/claim expedition rewards, you'll see it there. note that it can only be claimed once per save.

[brittle gazelle]

ohhh ok

[remote thunder]

there it is, see it?

[brittle gazelle]

I thought you got it from the expidition panel where it says to make a replica of the ship/weapon you used

[remote thunder]

well, that's one way

but

even if you don't do that

you already have that, and the other phase rewards, unlocked account wide

so, any present or future save

(with exception going to expedition mode saves themselves)

you can go to anomaly once unlocked, and claim gear, or decorations, etc

non-consumable quicksilver purchases are also unlocked account wide, for example

[brittle gazelle]

so like the armours and decorations?

[remote thunder]

yeah!

the trails, the figurines, the helmets, etc etc

other sources of stuff that gets unlocked account wide when purchased: scrap dealer, twitch rewards, autophage synth terminal unlocks

[brittle gazelle]

wait so on a new save I could rush to the space anomaly and get an S tier ship

[atomic estuary]

Yes

[atomic estuary]

Correct

[pale forge]

Doing dereliction, when it tells me to slow down I do so only for no freighter to appear. I’ve warped a few times and used up a few emergency scanners and the same thing keeps happening and it having me to use yet another one

music does appear like I discovered a derelict freighter but nothing appears around me

Finally it appeared this one time

[fallow needle]

Quick question! I just finished Adrift and during the last expedition, before formally finishing it, I scrapped all the ships I'd found so that I could bring the parts back to my main save. Is there any way to do that with Adrift, since the space stations are all abandoned?

[sleek siren]

no there is no way.
Your ships will only be turned into units / nanites afaik

just like everything else you have. Units / nanites / QS

[fallow needle]

Thanks, makes sense! I sorta figured, but wanted to ask just in case.

[sleek siren]

What you may want to do in regards to the Iron vulture parts is to do the trick to copy it multiple times, before you actually finish the expedition

This may help you out later if you want to try out different designs in the ship fabricator

Expedition 13: Adrift

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

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

[pale forge]

Do I claim my milestones when I return to my primary save and then complete the expedition?

Because I’m redoing the expedition right now on my primary save since I had no idea you could just do it on the primary save instead of start it on a new one

I really want to add the damned frigate to my fleet

[sullen meteor]

you should be able to claim the expedition rewards on your main save regardless

I'm just about to start, is there anything particularly useful I should transfer into my expedition run?

[pale forge]

Take some gold and mining upgrades

The issue I’ve been happening on this expedition that has delayed me on so much time is getting carbon, sodium and all of that which should be very coming to get

And then gold you need a lot for surge batteries which you need to scan a lot of important stuff for some milestones

[sullen meteor]

mining upgrades? is that necessary when I can just claim my main's multitool?

[pale forge]

only the one that gives more resources probably

But yeah

[sullen meteor]

how much gold?

[pale forge]

Maybe 500 or more, because sometimes you don’t get progress towards the milestone so youd have to end up going back up to space to get more gold or if you can find some nearby

Signs To Nowhere, you either scan for lost buildings or fly low and take a while to find 12 buildings that progress towards it. Sometimes it won’t progress and it gets annoying

Since you get a refiner early on the expo, I would bring radiant shards or lots of pugnem and refine them for nanites and get the milestone out of the way.

I don’t know how to get nanites from the tendrils but if you do then you won’t need to bring the shards and all that

So far I’ve done 12 milestones without leaving the first system

13 if I can manage to get the nanites

[wraith junco]

There is expedition task list in pins. So you can read it and prepare beforehand

[forest seal]

how can i get this 1600 height expedition achievement?

[remote thunder]

rdv2, 3 and 5 planets are all suitable for this milestone - literally, all i had to do was fly down into atmosphere, look for the tallest mountain i see, land and check

[forest seal]

rdv2?

ive jumped to a bunch of random places

ah nm, i found a base that has it

[remote thunder]

rdv == rendezvous

almost all expeditions are like this: along the path, there's systems and planets suitable to complete most if not all milestones from all phases

[sullen meteor]

oh no wonder things went wrong, the system was discovered by "ThisLionIsDrunk"

[remote thunder]

lmao

yeah, i started a run yesterday, and was like 😂

[frail hound]

any way to speedrun this?

[remote thunder]

answered in -help as well

[trim dome]

Never had this happen before but I cant finish this derelict freighter. Two doors wont open. Covered by slime but wont let me remove the slime. Anyone have this happen and find a workaround ?

[remote thunder]

my first thought is reload restore point to get ESS back, then ensure multiplayer is disabled and save+reload from main menu if it wasn't; then warp to a system off the expedition route/i.e. not a rendezvous system, and save, and try again

if you're on pc, disable mods if you have any

[trim dome]

hate to have to re do it all but may have to happen

[sullen meteor]

is the atlas interface in the second system important?

[remote thunder]

nope

i did visit the system station just in case

[sullen meteor]

so uh
with this "all that you survey" objective
someone suggested that because it's low gravity that you could do it on the starting world
but I flew up a ways and it kinda looks like I'm going to hit the atmosphere way before I get to 1600? lol

is it even possible to jetpack through the atmosphere?

[remote thunder]

with some melee jetpacking, off a really tall mountain, and upgraded jetpacks maybe, maybe with some minor glitching not sure about that

there's plenty of rendezvous planets that can be used to complete that milestone

rdv5 for example, lol, literally be careful not to face tank against a mountain side after you drop inside atmosphere

literally, exited ship, was at cloud level

[sullen meteor]

ok but like can you survive if you do that

I thought being in space caused you to run out of hazard protection very quickly

[remote thunder]

you just start dropping down again, in space life support drains very quickly, not hazard prot

[sullen meteor]

but that is what will happen if I jetpack up from the ground into space?

[remote thunder]

well, yes

once you let go of jetpack, you start falling down again

while you're in space, you need to be able to recharge life support

[sullen meteor]

ok because none of the people recommending to do it on the starter planet bother mentioning that lol

[remote thunder]

i don't get why recommend doing it on the starter planet, i really don't

[sullen meteor]

"oh btw you're going to need tons of oxygen or you'll die"

[remote thunder]

rdv2, 3, and 5 can easily be used for this milestone

that's 1500u

rdv5, that's 1600u+

i didn't use no player stairways to heaven either

but they're around

you'll see plenty

[dull matrix]

I DID IT

I FINALLY

DID IT

Vulture ship is W ngl

[trim dome]

I dont get it, this is my third derelict in a row that has a door I can not get through

So confused. Over 4,000 hours played and never ran into this but now on this last couple days of an expedition I cant seem to finish

[frail hound]

how do i get wiring loom in the new expedition?

[ashen shore]

use laser

or gun

on it

[remote thunder]

even melee

[frail hound]

or how do i get to blue planets

[remote thunder]

that said, not running any mods, right? have you tried verifying game install file integrity through steam game properties?

[remote thunder]

buy them from trade terminal in the space stations

[frail hound]

can u use em?

i thought space stations were fully disabled

[remote thunder]

it's alive milestone tips: <#nms-expedition message>

[remote thunder]

they're just abandoned; abandoned stations always had a teleporter and a trade terminal

[trim dome]

I tried everything on it nothing breaks it, and it doesnt say it is destroyable like all the other doors, And no mods, multiplayer disabled, playing on PC

Files verified

[remote thunder]

is this still the same door as before? or did you move to a different system/region?

[trim dome]

Different freighter in different system

[remote thunder]

did you change any difficulty options?

have you tried restarting the game?

[trim dome]

and the first 5 doors opened normally, destroy the slime and it opens. then I come across a door that the slime is not killable

Yup logged all the way out, verified files, logged back in and same

[remote thunder]

did you try mining beam on it?

that's weird

never had this issue

[trim dome]

yep and Q for melee, and Terraforming beam and scatter blaster

thats why I am scratching my head, I have well over 4k hours in the game and never had this happen before

[remote thunder]

i mean, i didn't have this issue in exp13 when i ran through

my suggestion? warp 1000 LY away, try again

strictly use mining beam

nothing else

[trim dome]

I kinda have a feeling its not distance based

[remote thunder]

well, not much else you can try anyway.,

my guess - keep trying till you find a layout that lets you through it

[trim dome]

only thing I can think of is that I alt tab to my second monitor alot as I am doing work and playing at the same time. I am wondering if some how alt tabbing gets it stuck at not recognizing the slime in the door some how

[remote thunder]

try starter system or rdv1

[remote thunder]

don't alt tab, game never liked it anyway

and with 2 screens you shouldn't need to alt tab anyway - just pause, and move mouse over

[trim dome]

well technically I dont alt tab, I hit the window button then move my cursor but same idea

[forest seal]

where/how can i find a monolith in the adrift expedition?

i cant seem to put a scanner on my exocraft

[remote thunder]

why would you need a monolith?

what milestone are you trying to progress?

[forest seal]

trying to repair a ship

i need to take the hyaline brain to it so i can learn the correct item to repair the ship

[remote thunder]

ah i see

[remote thunder]

so, be sure to have the right mission selected in the Log tab, the sentinel salvage site mission

[forest seal]

ive trie d''probe subconcious on the brain, doesnt work

ahhh

ok

didnt have it selected

[remote thunder]

it won't work probably because you a) don't have the right mission selected in log tab and/or b) have not gathered 3 shards and 1 inv mirror yet

[forest seal]

i have shards/mirror

[remote thunder]

should work just fine now

@forest seal to be clear, even if you had found a monolith manually, it still wouldn't have worked without the right mission selected/went to the selected monolith

[ashen shore]

this derelict freighter, do i need a signal scanner or do i just loot the sunken freighter

im still not done until now

[remote thunder]

reaching the sunken freighter site center will complete the milestone iirc, try interact with distress beacon if not; derelict freighter will be spawned by consuming the emergency signal scanner you'll get from the sunken freighter milestone

have mp disabled when trying to run the df

[ashen shore]

oki oki

[remote thunder]

yeah, sentinels in this expedition can be very nice with that big base range

[fervent horizon]

so outside of the expedition stuff how are you meant to get ship parts in the base game? i haven't figured out how you do that yet 🤔

[trail kraken]

scrap them

there's a new option to salvage a ship part

[fervent horizon]

sorry what's that? i couldn't hear you over the potientally vast amounts of hangar space im about to reclaim on my capital ship 🤣

[trail kraken]

lol

[atomic estuary]

At space stations you can salvage them for parts
It's an option at the same terminal as Scrapping and upgrading

[trail kraken]

then you get a choice

[wraith junco]

Can get 1 part per scraped ship

[fervent horizon]

mmmmmmm god i love games that make their mechanics straightforward and not obtuse as balls lmao

[rugged sail]

Is the "worm hive" system tag just for this expo?

[remote thunder]

it was originally used in expedition 4, but yes, only for expedition, there are none outside (well, currently) exp13

[rugged sail]

ahh ok

they brought the worm hives to the main mode so maybe some day

[remote thunder]

yeah, they did, but just that, the worm hive system tag didn't come with

[hard magnet]

I got headbutted by a huge worm and died when I got thrown backwards 🤣

I also died a second time when I landed on my next planet just as I was about to save the game. I jumped out of my ship and literally got picked up by a storm and thrown.

always pays off to have a little jetpack left in the tanks, and keep our cool, in both of those situations

[muted cloud]

I'm having issues completing what should be one of the easiest expedition tasks. I have tried on 3 occasions to gaze at the stars at night for 60 seconds but it isnt registering. Playing on VR has made this hell. Any tips or hints? I went to a planet without clouds yet there are still issues

[umbral forum]

Is the VR version different from the normal one? If the VR part is the issue, I'd boot the game with KBM or controller and try to complete it like that.

[low light]

Lol I just imagined you staring at your ceiling repeatedly

It took me a couple times with controller, I think you have to be absolutely still

[sullen meteor]

I guess there's, like, one heptaploid wheat plant on this entire planet? lol

I've got back in my ship and flown a bit further like 6 times and it still says 'too weak for distance estimate' in the same direction

[wraith junco]

Some planet types dont have wheat

[sullen meteor]

but it's saying there is?

[wraith junco]

Maybe ure just unlucky

[sullen meteor]

I'm sure that's it

[wraith junco]

There will be sound change when using visor if you will be facing right direction

[sullen meteor]

I know how the analysis visor works. lol

I finally found one by chance just by going low and slow in my ship

[sullen meteor]

just finished. story-wise, this might be the most obscure expedition yet

[golden cargo]

how do i copy the ship parts if i finished the expedition with another character?

[remote thunder]

if you started expedition from a new save - you just need to go to the anomaly quicksilver shop/claim expedition rewards in any other save under the same account: phase and final expedition rewards are always unlocked account wide

if you wanted to get multiple Iron Vulture ship parts, then you should really have started from existing: (pinned post) <#nms-expedition message>

(if you did start from new save, only way to do that ^ now is with the help of another player, or start a new run from existing/main)

It is brutal. I will try again with a fresh neck. Sucks because it's my last objective - first time doing any expeditions

[tribal jay]

wtf I fixed one of those crashed ships, saved my game, logged off

logged back in, it started from the save but the ship is gone

[wraith junco]

U should still be able to summon it from quick menu

[tribal jay]

I can't ):

omg I can im so stupid

[muted cloud]

Guys, I think I messed up big time. I finished the expedition but was fiddling with my inventories and my active ship was the default shuttle that you get in the beginning. I did not switch back to the reward ship before ending the expedition. Is there ANY way to get the reward ship on my main save??? Sorry if this has been asked, I looked around and couldn't tell if this same issue happened

[remote thunder]

space anomaly/quicksilver shop/claim expedition rewards

once per save, in any of your saves, present or future, under that account

[muted cloud]

Quicksilver shop, NOT the expedition claim device?

[remote thunder]

correct

[tribal jay]

that's got me thinking, I didn't have a game saved
I started this character in the expedition, what will happen?

[remote thunder]

please see <#nms-expedition message>

[tribal jay]

will that be there even after 5 days when it ends?

[remote thunder]

when you complete and claim all milestones, and final exp reward (or expedition ends server side, whichever comes first), game will force convert that save to a normal mode save

[remote thunder]

you already have all those in that save - what the pictures show is a player interacting with the quicksilver shop, in a completely different save, but under the same account, being able to claim all expedition 13 rewards

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

approach resonator, aim at it - **it tells ** you what it will drop when destroyed

if you already have more than enough mirrors, you can ignore non-echo locator resonators

[stone arrow]

Oh

I didnt now that

Thx

[remote thunder]

once you get an echo locator, be sure to be in a gek/korvax/vykeen dissonant system, where there's at least 1 dissonant planet that doesn't have rusted metal or gold in resource list, nor is it infested

[tribal jay]

wtfffffff I tabbed out of the game for about 5 minutes, tabbed back in and I'm standing ona random different part of the planet with my ship critically damaged

and game crashed

[remote thunder]

sounds like you've got options/network/multiplayer enabled, and options/network/pvp enabled, afk'd, and got dropped, possibly even by environment if you afkd in a unsafe environment

fix ship, retrieve grave

[tribal jay]

retrieve grave?

I don't think i died, I still have all my stuff

[remote thunder]

ah okay

then i don't know how did you respawn elsewhere, with ship critically damaged

did you make sure that you have all your stuff in both suit and ship?

[tribal jay]

yep, also it was my newly fixed sentinel ship I AFKd in it on the ground

so all the stuff on my current main ship was good still anyways

[remote thunder]

so you had nothing inside the sentinel ship cargo inv

well - that's why you didn't lose anything

but critically damaged, on a ship that doesn't come damaged after it's claimed - you died

options/network/multiplayer enabled, and options/network/pvp enabled

i'd suggest "fixing" one of those at least

[tribal jay]

hmm

[remote thunder]

or never afk somewhere other players can draw their weapons on you

[tribal jay]

is there a way i can see a log?

[remote thunder]

nope

like i said

a grave marker should exist for you in that system

@tribal jay a grave marker looks like this

that said, grave markers are known to fail to persist in mp instances

if you lost nothing, then i'd just suggest to ignore that - even ignore damage done to ship if not a critical system

[tribal jay]

just anti-grav (launch theusters)

now my only problem is that I gotta use my main ship to get materials to fix the sentinel ship and idk how to find my way back to the sentinel one

[remote thunder]

you've got access to the anomaly, and even your own freighter later on, you can access/summon if needed, any ship you own in there

[tribal jay]

even if damaged?

[remote thunder]

even if damaged

[tribal jay]

sweet, I do have a freighter

[remote thunder]

summon that sentinel in the anomaly, and watch antigrav well automagically get fixed

(failsafe triggered)

[tribal jay]

also just stumbled across what I assume is a player-abandoned sentinel ship that I added to my collection lol

[remote thunder]

very very careful

i would never do so

[tribal jay]

it just let me power the warp core and claim it

nothing in it

[remote thunder]

risk getting ships reskinned

[tribal jay]

??

[remote thunder]

take my word for it

never hop in a ship that's not yours

that lets you hop in it

[tribal jay]

reskinned? idk what that means

[remote thunder]

yes, well, complex topic - basically means that work done can be thrown away in a matter of seconds by accident

never hop in a ship that's not yours, a ship that's not yours always has a npc or a claim/repair process attached to it

at this point it's an advice for the future

one of the reasons why it's recommended to have multiplayer disabled when working with crashed ships, scrapping ships in space stations (not possible in exp13), etc

[tribal jay]

seems like this expedition step is broken

the "summon the anomaly" one

I already did, already explored it

still incomplete

[remote thunder]

do you have the mind ark on you?

[tribal jay]

nope

[remote thunder]

check your ship

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

[tribal jay]

sec

oh im stupid that's literally what im getting the mind ark for

[remote thunder]

not stupid; just remember to be patient, and when you're a bit lost, rely on that mission hint lower right - that always has your immediate objective, when the right mission is selected in the Log tab

head to the teleporter room, towards terminal prime, mission will progress

[fervent cave]

Soon as I completed the expedition I took the ||atlas figurine|| and put it in my main ship (minor spoilers)

Also the last rendezvous was kinda funny

[hollow orchid]

i CANNOT for the life of me find a dissonant planet does anyone know a base that goes to one or a portal that does or something

[unkempt kraken]

@hollow orchid
to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> How to find Dissonance

Look for Dissonant systems in the galaxy map. In these systems, you'll often find at least one planet that reads Dissonance Detected in their resource list.

Notes:

• All dissonant planets can be used to farm related resources e.g. radiant shards, echo locator
• Not all dissonant systems and/or planets can spawn harmonic camps (see image link »). Consuming a Carrier AI Fragment should lead you to a suitable location that can spawn harmonic camps.
  

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

be sure to be in a dissonant system

[hollow orchid]

im trying to look for one but i cant

dont got the scanner and cat get it bc the expedition dont let you

[wraith junco]

It wont let u get it from anomaly.

U still can find it in the wild by searching stuff.

[hollow orchid]

i found one finally

[remote thunder]

you don't need any scanners on a ship to find a dissonant system

systems that are dissonant are tagged so, in the galaxy map, by default

scanners like economy scanner or conflict scanner were never required for that functionality

[hollow orchid]

yeah i found one

[full orchid]

If you follow the path to the rendezvous points you will find a dissonant planet along the way to almost each rendezvous point you head too. Chances are you passed a few already along the way to heading to the rendezvous points. I passed quite a few too. Until I checked and noticed, oh quite a few dissonant planets along the way. 😆

Oopsie. My bad! It was answered already and they found one. Discord sometimes doesn't scroll down. 😂

[remote thunder]

Astina's the name, iirc, before rdv1

[full orchid]

Yeah. 🤣

I noticed there were more dissonant planets than usual. Or maybe that's because I was more aware while looking for myself. 😆

[remote thunder]

for someone who's a harsh galaxy dweller, there were too few

(dissonant planets were previously aggressive sentinel planets; there always were more aggressive sentinel planets in harsh type galaxie; ime there's more dissonant planets in harsh type galaxies)

[full orchid]

Ha! I guess I don't pay attention enough to that part. All I care about is scanning creatures and building. 😂

[remote thunder]

same here, i mostly just wander in search of weird terrain proc gen, and scan

[full orchid]

You can use expedition terminus on space anomaly to transfer items and currency
Read this for more Info #nms-questions message

[wanton raft]

I knew the terminus is what I would use, but was just wondering what steps to take in the right order.

Looking at that help link now.

[remote thunder]

did you claim all milestones and phase and final rewards?

[wanton raft]

I will claim them all in the next couple days for sure.

[remote thunder]

only after that will you be able to edit stash

[wanton raft]

"edit stash"?

[remote thunder]

when you started expedition, you were given the possibility of adding stuff to a tech+cargo stash; same idea here; once you claim all milestones, etc, you'll be able to interact with the terminus and add stuff to stash to retrieve once you've been returned to main

(note for whoever looks at that image: do not bring bones, bring other stuff you think you may need)

[wanton raft]

So at some point it will let you transfer items back from expedition right? That's what you're talking about right?

[remote thunder]

yeah

[wanton raft]

Does it add all the money you have in the expedition back to the main save?

[remote thunder]

unspent units, nanites, quicksilver, bases built, discoveries,

[wanton raft]

... all come back

[remote thunder]

stuff like eggs, items that you leave behind, that stuff is lost or turned into units

[wanton raft]

even stuff on storage boxes?

You can make multiple stashes going back right.

Just started this expedition, and for some odd reason I'm not seeing anyone else's base labels on planets. If I happen to come upon a base I see it and can interact with it, but all the tags that you could usually see and pulse to from space are MIA.

[remote thunder]

expedition 13's theme is alone

(other player bases are visible on a teleporter in the same system too)

[lavish rapids]

Ya, used that to collect some goodies since the normal method of locating a point seemed missing.

[wanton raft]

Not having 100s of useless base markers is a good thing some times!

[remote thunder]

no comm balls either

[wanton raft]

Can you transfer multiple MTs back from the expedition now?

I can transfer back the same MT I tranferred to the exp if I kill the old one on the main save right?

[remote thunder]

correct, you can do this

[remote thunder]

you can, but if you want to copy different ones back, you need to keep expedition running, so that you can go back and forth to change which tool is equipped

[wanton raft]

I assume I can transfer back the Otopia Terminals to the main save too right?

[remote thunder]

yes, that shouldn't be a problem either

[wanton raft]

Is there a way to sell upgrades for nanites in the expedition?

[remote thunder]

nope

reported to staff

[wanton raft]

I guess in this expedition (or game version) it no longer dumps you inventory into a grave marker like it did before? Just died (because of a phone call interruption) and retained my stuff.

[remote thunder]

pretty sure if it is, it's an expedition thing though

[wanton raft]

I'm claiming my expedition rewards and the Dereliction reward is a "Restored freighter command". What's that mean?

[remote thunder]

that will be your expedition 13 freighter

[wanton raft]

Oh, so I get a freighter just in time to loose it. Nice!

[woven bridge]

Oh wow the expedition is still going on? I thought I missed it. I have to get on it now!

[wanton raft]

You have 4 days. Plenty of time.

Does where you accept the freighter reward from the "Dereliction" milestone make a difference? What system you're in for instance?

Is what freighter you get random? What drives it?

[remote thunder]

i think all the ones i've seen were c-class , and i assume appearance has to do with the system you claim the reward in

[wanton raft]

I assumed the system might make a small difference.
+++++
Sorry for all the random questions tonight, but if I click the [leave] instead of accepting suit inventory slots, do I get them to use later and might they be transferable to may main save?

[remote thunder]

if you refuse to apply milestone rewarded inv upgrades in exp 13, be it suit, ship or MT, game will drop the correspondent inv upgrade items on your inventory

after finish, you can then transfer those exo expansion units/storage augmentation module/mt expansion slot back to main

[wanton raft]

Even for the suit? Nice!

In the expedition on the PS4, I just logged out in someone else's base using their save point and when I got back in the base was gone and I was outside. That was wierd.

I didn't file a report on the base.

[remote thunder]

maybe you had mp enabled, and when you reloaded, the owner of the base had moved on; or was it an uploaded base, in which case you may have lost connection to ODS?

[wanton raft]

Nope

No MP at either time and I'm talking within minutes.

[remote thunder]

maybe lost connection to ods when logging in, or another uploaded base pushed that one off the list

[full orchid]

I have experienced that exact same thing a few times throughout my playthroughs. I have experienced it the most in expeditions since we've been allowed to use are current save files. It's a very odd occurrence when it happens for sure.

Like bk201 said, it usually means the owner deleted the base, perhaps someone else reported the base, someone uploaded not too far from it and pushed it off the list.

I don't know if this theory part is true but maybe for expeditions when the player switches from the expedition back to normal save, you no longer can see the base anymore because the player isn't in the expedition anymore because they've transferred over. Not sure that theory makes any sense. 😂

As stated above I have experienced it most in expeditions since they've allowed us to use our current save files.

[remote thunder]

when someone reports a base, we don't know if it actually sends any data to the server, but even if it does, it may take quite a while for devs to actually act on those reports, i'd imagine they get lots. owner may have deleted like you said, or one thing i didn't mention earlier, they completed expedition and converted to normal for example

[full orchid]

Okie dokie so my theory was right. 😆

[remote thunder]

i assume the bases would still be there if the player returned to primary, not finishing, but i've not tested that personally

[full orchid]

Gotcha.

[copper trail]

finished the expedition for the second time now, the most interesting part I think lore wise is the grave part, cause it shows an anomaly, like the default player

so I think ive seen some people say this too but it makes me think we are actually the one thats dead, and this is "the other side" of the grave, with an alive "player" finding our grave

[tribal jay]

how do I get the emeril drive?

anomaly?

[wraith junco]

Anomaly vendors wont work in expedition

There was a task that gives warp drives i think

[tribal jay]

I thought I had gotten blueprints

but idk how to craft them

oh I think I figured it out

lmao im a bit dense I literally just mouse over the empty tech slot

[meager scroll]

FYI you don't need Emeril or Indium Drive

Robotic fauna can be easily found in red star systems, those are uncharted

So all you need is Cadmium Drive

[tribal jay]

tf lol

well too late now
