nms-expedition

[tribal jay]

also

wait do sentinels count?

[meager scroll]

No, you're looking for synthetic animals

Ones that can be scanned and show up in Discovery page

[tribal jay]

found some lol

[iron tendon]

Hey guys, if I install the installable technology packages and hazard protection upgrades, will they transfer to my main once the expedition ends? (I started expedition on my main save). I have quite a few of them in my expedition inventory

[burnt pulsar]

Nope, but you can get your multitool from the expedition.

[iron tendon]

Oh ok thanks. Will I be able to keep the ships that I used in the expedition? (And their inventories)

[remote thunder]

cargo inventories aren't transferred, and the only way to copy multiple different ships or multitools is to equip desired gear, leave expedition save running (options/return to primary), goto anomaly/exp terminus and copy. when you want to copy different gear back to main, return to expedition, change equipped gear, and return to primary again

[iron tendon]

Oh ok thanks. So, if I want to transfer cargo onto my main save, do I need to carry it on my exosuit and then click return to primary and go to the terminus to copy? And does it cost anything to copy

[forest seal]

how can i transfer a multitool i got during this expedition back to my main save?

[desert escarp]

From the expedition terminal aboard the Anomaly

You can copy multi-tool and ship for the cvost of some nanites

[iron tendon]

Sorry for another question but how do I actually claim the freighter after clicking collect reward for dereliction?

[forest seal]

from the Expedition save back to my M AIN save?

[iron tendon]

I mean, I've claimed it but I can't drive it

[desert escarp]

You can summon it just like normal freighter

[desert escarp]

If you went from a save to the expedition via the terminal, after you finish the expedition and return to the main save you can copy it at that terminal

[iron tendon]

I'm on the freighter still, but where's the pilot's seat?

[desert escarp]

Oh you can't directly command freighters

You can summojn them and you can use a terminal around the holo table on the bridge to warp to another system

But it's not a ship you can fly just like a normal one

[iron tendon]

Oh ok

[desert escarp]

Think of it as a mobile space station/base

[iron tendon]

I'm having trouble finding the bridge

[forest seal]

ok so after i hit ''end expedition'' it will allow me to enter the anomaly, go to the expedition panel and access the ships/multitools i found during the Adrift expedition in my normal MAIN save, i can just spend Nanites to get them, is that correct?

[iron tendon]

There are still scary sweeping laser things in one of the rooms

[desert escarp]

Once you leave your ship, head up the stairs or go to the teleportation platforem next to the landing strips

OHHHHHH

Mate, that's a derelict freighter

Not your freighter xDDDDD

[iron tendon]

I think I've "claimed" it though

[desert escarp]

Yup

[desert escarp]

Yeah but it functions as a separate entity

[iron tendon]

So there's nothing I can do with it? Can't even use its inventory

[desert escarp]

Leave it, fly back to space, and there you can summon your freighter from the quick menu

[iron tendon]

Oh ok, thanks, I'll try

[forest seal]

....i cant select from the ships or multitools in the expedition

only what i had equipped at that time

[desert escarp]

Yes

Shit, I think we had a miscommunication

Sorry

[iron tendon]

For some reason, out of nowhere I have a "capital ship" now. Is that normal?

[desert escarp]

Capital Ship is your freighter

[iron tendon]

That's interesting. The reward for the mission says restored freighter command but it's actually giving me a new freighter haha

Oh well, not complaining. I thought I had to go around restoring broken components on the derelict freighter. Glad I don't have to

[kindred mesa]

Can't seem to get the "Stare into the Sky for 60 seconds" milestone - anyone got an idea why? :x

[ashen shore]

how to do this one

it keeps sending me to the same structure when i locate buildings

[desert escarp]

You have to find the night side of a planet, leave the ship and look into the sky for a minute

[forest seal]

ive found a save prior to ending the expedition, so that has solved this issue so far.

[forest seal]

i found an sentinel ship in my expedition, also have the iron vulture

which should i transfer back?

i assume i can get senitnel ships easily in the main save (google suggests so)

the one i have is a C class so not rly good anyway

[forest seal]

is there a place you can break down ships at the anomaly?

[remote thunder]

nope

[granite ridge]

Any - not yet used by you - way point markers (those rotating poles that act as save spot) will do. So any shelters, observatories, small settlements and so on.

[remote thunder]

minotaur+radar array, scan for secure buildings; fly low and slow spamming quick scan

[desert escarp]

I had 3 files after starting new exp save
Now only exp save is present

[remote thunder]

maybe some corruption on files

sorry, not sure what to suggest here

maybe they're still stored in the cloud?

[desert escarp]

I know mate, I know. No need ot be sorry my man, you're always such a dear and great help.
I mostly came to express my emotional state and listne if anyone has any idea whiskey tango foxtrot happened/how to fix.
I already tried all the regular common sense things. Turning it off and on, restarting xbox app etc.
I'll check out the save editor thing.

[remote thunder]

was trying to find how to access /view cloud save data

[desert escarp]

I'm just flabbergasted, frazzled, apalled, abhorred, displeased, exsasperated

[remote thunder]

i was looking at this https://www.wikihow.com/Access-the-Xbox-One-Cloud

[muted granite]

How long does the exped take for a seasoned player?

[desert escarp]

Took me about 2 easy days, after I messed some stuff up which slowed me down

[trail iron]

a few hours

[desert escarp]

I opened NomNom, only one save file

[muted granite]

What’s the hardest/most time consuming part?

[trail iron]

just remember to read all the goals when you start, and hit them as you go.
Things like 12 waypoints are long and irritating, unless you do them as you go.
and remember, if you start with an item in inventory, there's a reason for it.

[trail iron]

dig 5 Ruins.

[remote thunder]

finding mecha fauna can be time consuming

[desert escarp]

For me it was mecha fauna

[remote thunder]

ruins+signal booster+surge battery won't make you explore, just follow markers

[muted granite]

Any tips for fauna/ruins?

[trail iron]

mecha is easy for experienced. Took me two systems.

[remote thunder]

you got lucky

you could have easily spent 10systems

[trail iron]

mecha is in uncharted systems, ANY color but yellow. land, see if two animals exactly, if not leave.

[remote thunder]

reasoning behind this is - if you don't do indium drive, you won't have any marker helping you for it's alive

ruins? you just need to use surge batteries

[trail iron]

ruins isnt hard, just boring long. so space it out

and high point can be found on starter planet.

[desert escarp]

Ruins took me like 20 minutes with flying and signal booster xD

[remote thunder]

so can on rdv2, 3, 4, 5

[trail iron]

for mecha, find uncharted systems close to the rendezvous planets, and check the names people put on the planets/bases in them. Likely to find them named "mecha" or "robo" if there's mecha present.

[remote thunder]

the mission hint acknowledges the presence of a planet with robo fauna too

[trail iron]

yeah, i never got the mission hint 😛

[remote thunder]

even tells us if there's more fauna in there

i think you're just not being patient

or you're unaware that you can force cycle hints

[trail iron]

Quite likely true. I find that expeditions sunder my patience.

[remote thunder]

gentle reminder: press H or dpad left to force cycle

[wraith junco]

Thats why there are pins 🙂

[remote thunder]

it took me 10min, and i didn't use any pins or even the mission - but i'm aware i could have spent a lot more

[desert escarp]

Is/will there be any way to get Utopia stations in the future?

I see them now around expedition player bases and they seem darn useful

[remote thunder]

well, i guess you could ask someone that can build them to do so at one of your bases

will probably be able to pick them up

[wraith junco]

Yep..but u cant craft them

For now its hard to tell if utopia stations will be back anytime soon. Its unique expedition tech. Like singularity drive.

[desert escarp]

OK, thanks

[cerulean girder]

ight so im new to no mans sky, i played the first set of missions on the community event
what did i actually gain from doing that? im a bit lost ngl lol

[wraith junco]

You are playing expedition?

Or doing missions on multiplayer hub.

[cerulean girder]

i was playing the expedition i think? the event with like 3 days left on it
i keep running into other players during it too

i did the missions until i got the first bit of quicksilver from reaching some rendezvous point

[wraith junco]

Ok

In expedition tab u have sets of tasks to do. For each task u will get rewards.

For completing full set u will get reward that is unlocked on your account.

Base parts, pets,ships etc.

There is 5 sets of tasks

Most of them U dont need to do i order

When u claim all cosmetic rewards (the dogtag shaped icon with "claim") it will be onlocked on your account

U can redeem rewards on all your current and future saves from anomaly quicksilver vendor

If u are stuck on some task

Or ask in #nms-questions

[lucid quarry]

Do new expeditions start right after the old one ends? Or will 14 start a few days after adrift ends

[cerulean girder]

good to know ty ty
can i only get quicksilver from events? or just playing on a solo world

[wraith junco]

We dont know . Usualy its more than a month pause between. Usualy there is 4 expeditions per year and a rerun at the end of the year

[lucid quarry]

You can get quicksilver from the quests in the anomaly, you get one new one per day (can queue up to three if you don’t do them) and another higher reward quest each weekend

[lucid quarry]

Ok, thanks!

[wraith junco]

Main story also gives some amount of quicksilver. But usualy we do daily missions that give 400QS and weekend mission that gives 1800 QS

There is also rare space encounter that can give 100QS

[cerulean girder]

i have no idea what this means but il figure it out soon enough
about to leave my dumb ice planet ive been stuck on and head to some space station thingy 🙏

as a new player idk what im doing but im enjoying it all

[dusty elm]

I'm doing the By Bread Alone milestone and wondering if there's a planet where I can find flour and yeast easily? I've been on a wild goose chase for to long trying to find these on planet: Lapezuk in system: Issiugr. Thanks in advance 👍

[remote thunder]

heptaploid wheat -> flour
faecium -> wild yeast

hepta can be found on any planet that doesn't have rusted metal on resource list

faecium can be obtained from poop dropped by fed but not harvested animals, or refined from mordite that drops from killed animals

[dusty elm]

Thanks, my log says I have, learn the Nutrient Procesor completed. Where is the machine at? Don't recall doing this, but some how I did lol.. I'm assuming I make these ingredients in it, right?

[remote thunder]

it's in your build menu portables, and yeah

though mordite -> faecium requires a refiner

lapezuk is the extreme weather radiation biome planet in the starter system isn't it?

i'd say that you'd have an easier time elsewhere 😉

(or did you need activated copper?)

oh no

wait

lapezuk is the starter planet

wait no, move on

don't try to do this milestone there

will be much much easier elsewhere

not even sure how we'd get faecium here

oh that's right, dihydro+carbon

[dusty elm]

OK, Lapezuk wasted my time lol. I'll search for planets as you suggested above. Will I need Activated copper, will I need any of this to complete phase 5? I'm almost done with Exp13<<<SO happy!! I have 325 Faecium saved from earlier in game, so good there.

[remote thunder]

yeah, get some act copper, like 250 or so

[dusty elm]

Ok, appreciate your help. You all have been great. I usually play on creative and needed help on this expedition, which you all helped me thru.

This is my first time ever making a food item, so now I can do this in regular game 🥳

Took me 2 tries to complete derlict freighter. ..not easy, but was helped in here and finally made it thru in the starter system. 3 tries' correction lol

[remote thunder]

ah nice 🙂 good job

[dusty elm]

😊

[desert escarp]

Niceeeeeeeee

Once I do the milestone with ship class upgrade, it becomes S-Class 😄

[remote thunder]

note: there's a known bug where that class upgrade isn't applying correctly, been reproduced with sentinel and shuttles iirc

a-class is already awesome for the expedition though

[desert escarp]

Previously worked for me wonderfully

Upgraded my C-class interceptor to A

(on the save I lost)

[remote thunder]

yes, but it's specifically the a- to s-class upgrade that fails

[desert escarp]

We'll see

Just to be sure, I'll create a restore point before I accept reward for that one

Thanks for the warning 😄

[remote thunder]

no problem

[desert escarp]

Any way to get a better MT during expedition? Usual avenue of buying at space station is gone, and I can't redeem my Atlas Staff because quicksilver merchant is gone

Ones that spawn aboard Anomaly are trash so far

[remote thunder]

easiest to find will be harmonic camp (sentinel tool)

[desert escarp]

Hmmm

That may be a way

But I suck at finding those. Didn't figure that one out yet

[remote thunder]

easy enough

find a dissonant system, then the dissonant planet

[desert escarp]

Especially since Echo Locators don't drop fo rme from Resonators for some reason

[unkempt kraken]

@desert escarp
to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> When the game spawns a Dissonance Resonator...

There's a:

• 80% chance that Resonator will be an Inverted Mirror Resonator;
• 20% chance that Resonator will be an Echo Locator Resonator.

Approach and aim at the Resonator to see what it will drop when destroyed.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

the drop is already fixed before you kill it

[desert escarp]

I know, but I can't seem to find any with Echo Locators :/

[remote thunder]

matter of time and persistence

[desert escarp]

I killed 40 so far xD Sold some mirrors for a pretty penny too

[remote thunder]

sometimes it takes me more than 10min

sometimes i find 4 in a row within 2000u

regardless, avoid dissonant planets with extreme mountains

[desert escarp]

I usually just kill them with ship

Easier, safer

[dusty elm]

I'm at the phase 5 final location, but can't find anything other than location markers. What am I actually looking for here?

It is a freighter? Not sure

[remote thunder]

you mean rendezvous 5 itself? it's a crashed ship site

land, use target sweep, use cloaking device to deal with aggressive sentinels without combat (run while cloaking with your back turned on them)

[dusty elm]

Yes sorry its the rendezvous 5. And not sure what/where the cloaking device is located.

[desert escarp]

Niceeee, first one

[remote thunder]

phase 2 milestone 1 will reward cloaking device multitool tech pre built, just install it on the multitool. it's a weapon attachment, so it can be equipped at the same time as a primary weapon e.g. boltcaster, and it's purpose is sentinel evasion

once you understand its mechanic, and how it's able to "cloak" you from a nearby sentinel, it can become.. a mandatory tech, maybe

[desert escarp]

Yeah, it's amazing, especially for trolling and farming Sentinels

You kick the hornets nest and kill a few sentinels -> cloak -> wait for them to hakuna their tatas -> kick the nest again 😄

[dusty elm]

Ok, it's installed, while running, how do I activate it? I ran thru multi-tool options hit the Y button, Xbox and no clocker appeared to activate

[remote thunder]

uhm you should see it appear when selected top right, left of main weapon

then it's just altfire

@dusty elm says here that it's LB, once selected

so basically the idea is you run to prevent them from catching up and scanning you in the face, so that means your back turned on them while you run - keep an eye on the top right wanted level indicators+swarm state (if detected/searching), if any

eventually, you'll see that the HUD "wheel" sentinel presence overlay has disappeared, and sentinel took a 180 turn and forgot it was chasing you

[dusty elm]

Does this look right? this is the right cloak correct?

[remote thunder]

yes

post a screenshot of your HUD next

[dusty elm]

Is that a screenshot of my exosuit and Starship inventorys?

[remote thunder]

suggested changes:

[remote thunder]

this overlay, is part of your HUD

[dusty elm]

Not sure what/ where that is

[remote thunder]

when you're playing the game

shoot something with a mining beam, or press dpad left to bring up the HUD

[dusty elm]

ok

[remote thunder]

these are all HUD elements

HUD stands for heads up display

like - your "helmet" gives you these

[remote thunder]

press B

you've got paralysis mortar selected right now

[dusty elm]

When I hit B to switch, the only option is manipulator mode and now I see cloaking device. Thank you!!

[remote thunder]

it should have changed now to tell you what button to press to activate it as well, iirc LB

inventory full

[dusty elm]

When set on Cloaking Device, it appears when boltcaster is selected with Y.

Yes my inventory is full

need to get rid of some stuff lol

[remote thunder]

yeah, won't be able to shoot while cloaking

[dusty elm]

I did it expedition complete.. much thanks!!!

[remote thunder]

congrats! 🙂

[desert escarp]

I feel like I'm collecting pokemons xD

[dusty elm]

Is there insturctions under the notes for how to get your Iron Vulture to your regular game?

[pearl pebble]

use nom nom or goatfungus

lol

[desert escarp]

You have to go to quicksilver merchant aboard the Anomaly and you can redeem it there

[pearl pebble]

idk other than that

[desert escarp]

It will cost nanites, 2800 iirc

[dusty elm]

ok 😉 thank you

[desert escarp]

No problem 🙂

[coral salmon]

poké ships

[desert escarp]

Once I finish the expedition it will be some gooooood salvage xD

Many of those ships are A class 😄

[dusty elm]

@desert escarp Does the multi-tool automatically transfer as well?

[desert escarp]

Ahh you want to transfer one from your expedition, nto redeem a new one?

[plain musk]

i got a lot of them too but we cant salvage them in the expedition right and we can take only one ship with us no?

[remote thunder]

if you leave expedition running, you can return and change gear, and return to primary to copy

[desert escarp]

Yes, unless you started an expedition save. It converts to normal save after you finish expedition

[plain musk]

ohh i see i started from an exisiting save so that wont work for me

[remote thunder]

did you start from existing save or new save?

[desert escarp]

@dusty elm
OK, so
Make sure Multi Tool and Ship you want to transfer are equipped
Once you finish expedition and return to your primary save, go to the expedition terminal aboard the anomaly
There you can copy the multi tool and ship you had equipped when you finished the expedition for some nanites

[remote thunder]

if you started from existing save, you've got 2 options; if you started from new save, you've got 1 option.

[dusty elm]

I believe it was a new save

[plain musk]

what are those two options?

[remote thunder]

goto quicksilver shop in main save to claim the exp13 rewards that you unlocked account wide, for all your saves, present or future, under this account

if you started from a new save, main menu, you will have not seen this/used this mechanic

[dusty elm]

I purchased a lot of Quicksilver items in regular game. Why do I need to download them in the expedition game?

[remote thunder]

we can't claim quicksilver unlocked items in expedition13, no quicksilver shop bot

that said, quicksilver unlocks (with the exception of consumables e.g. void egg) are unlocked account wide, and while they have to be claimed again, they won't cost any quicksilver and should just read "available"

[desert escarp]

De heck, I thought this version of the universe was empty of intelligent life

[remote thunder]

player landing pad?

[desert escarp]

Aye

In some player base

Aaaaaand he's gone xD

Along with a salvagable ship that was here a second ago O_o

[plain musk]

hey i need navigation data like 12 of them its been an hour and i got only 3, i need to use the signal booster but that costs a lot to use surge battery then find nothing is there a better way? i read some answers here but i didnt get it do i use my ships scanner in any planet or is there some planet that i can find more abandoned structures in them?

[forest seal]

i saw a video where someone was able to scrap ships over and over, ending up with many parts from that one ship, what would be the point in this?

wouldnt you end up with just a lot of parts that look similar?

[remote thunder]

complete phase 3 milestone 6 (<#nms-expedition message>), summon minotaur, install radar array, scan for secure buildings, interact with waypoint objects https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/979100431315796018/1260963328378015885/windmill.png

[remote thunder]

yeah, but those parts (engines, wings, cockpit) can then be used to build lots of different combinations, including other prts

[dusty elm]

@desert escarp there was no option at the Quicksilver to claim the Iron Vulture.

[remote thunder]

quicksilver shop/claim expedition rewards

not create quicksilver items

[cerulean girder]

safe to assume if i dont get it now i wont ever get the iron vulture thingy?

[remote thunder]

the devs will most likely rerun exp13 later this year, if they stick to the pattern

[forest seal]

ya so you mean i could mix iron vulture wings with other ship parts

[remote thunder]

ahuh

with other hauler parts

[forest seal]

im more asking, is there a point in having 20 thingies of iron vulture wings

other than just being able to apply those wings across 20 theoretical haulers that i could (will never) make

[remote thunder]

well - that's something that each decides for themselves

[cerulean girder]

and all other exp items are now limited after rerun?

[remote thunder]

just because others are doing it, doesn't mean you have to

[forest seal]

sure thing, 100% with you on that

[remote thunder]

until/if the devs rerun it again yes

[forest seal]

just trying to clarify if there is any sort of gap in my understanding of the usefulness of doing so

[remote thunder]

nah

[cerulean girder]

fair enough ty

[remote thunder]

the only thing they'd be getting with using vulture's wings is the ability to hover

but..

that's almost a gimmick

plus, stuck with that design

sentinels can hover too

[forest seal]

ah good call

[remote thunder]

@cerulean girder they've never rerun the same exact expedition, rewards and all, more than once - that isn't to say that they can't do another holidays expedition 2023 (exp3 redux, with a mixed set of rewards from other past expeditions)

[cerulean girder]

im not too worried about not getting items, i picked this game up so i have something to do during surgery recovery
so missed items were bound to happen

just didnt expect that many missed items lol

[remote thunder]

well, expedition 1 was released back in 2021, so yeah, there's been a few since then

they normally always rerun the expeditions released in a year, later that same year again, to give players another shot at unlocking stuff account wide

so atm, we'd expect to see a rerun of exp12, and exp13

like sometime around october

reruns see lower running time for each expedition, they come back to back, and have lower difficulty objectives

[cerulean girder]

good to know il look for that, il use my recovery time to play my main save and get better at the game

[remote thunder]

you'll be a pro at it soon enough

[cerulean girder]

yall aint ready for how good im gonna get, it only took me 4 hours to figure out the buried tech

[desert escarp]

Is there a limit to how many ships can I have in my "stables"? xD

[remote thunder]

12

[remote thunder]

i wasn't joking: you'll see that it will be easy 🙂

[plain musk]

hey i believe the emergency signal scanner is for abandoned freighters right it says in wiki that often contain high-value salvage and it could be bought from 5m to 30m i see it here for 1m is it valuable to buy it in an expedition or would be a waste since i wont take it with me ?

[remote thunder]

wiki page wasn't updated to refer the special case scenario we have with expedition 13

emergency signal scanners are normally bought from scrap dealer

expedition 13 added them to trade terminals

since i wont take it with me ?
you couldn't take it with you if you started this expedition run from a new save

you could buy some, and after it converts to normal, push items to another player, while you go and reload into main save

[plain musk]

i am in this expedition from existing save can i take with me? and i dont know if i undestand this right m kinda bad at english but do u mean buy some here and i can take them with me? didnt understand the part ''push items to another player''

[wraith venture]

@remote thunder probably meant that as in "trade" the items with another player, give the items to another player

[plain musk]

ahh i see i understand now

[remote thunder]

wait

involving another player would only be required if you started from new save

[wraith venture]

There are two ways to do the expedition:

1. Starting it from another "main" save, which allows you to bring some things to the expedition, and vice versa.
2. Start an expedition separately from other saves, which I assume Bkay was referring to for that last bit

[remote thunder]

yeah

if started from existing save, buy the items, complete expedition, goto expedition terminus, and add items to stash

[wraith venture]

Here's a better explanation of the two ways for reference @plain musk #nms-questions message

[plain musk]

ohh that would be easier but the items and add them to stash as i said i am playing from an existing save so ill do that really thank you guys for explaining and ill read that you tagged for me

[remote thunder]

if you started from existing, yeah, definitely easy to get items back into existing save

[plain musk]

got it thanks again

[desert escarp]

Holy damn, never seen mod like this

[tribal jay]

expedition is like a super boosted speedrun it feels like

[desert escarp]

I think I might know why ship upgrade is not working on A-class ships

It forces upgrade by 2 grades, but There is nothing above S, so the upgrade doesn;t work

It works on all ships below A grade, including interceptors, 5/5 tries, and fails on all A grade ships in 4/4 tries so far

Huh, or not. It upgrades B class to A class, not S class

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[desert escarp]

That's lame, considering MT upgrade upgrades a MT to S class from A class

What's even more misleading is that a pop-up appears in the middle of the screen that ship upgraded to S-class

[blissful hamlet]

100% speedrun

[flint jewel]

am i somewhere wrong?

[kindred mesa]

Figured out why it wasn't working - I had to select the milestone before staring into the sky for 60s. Would not work otherwise for some reason

[ashen shore]

u are in rdv 4 system

not rdv 5

[flint jewel]

Oh

[fallen oar]

On phase 3 how do you find the 3 creatures? Tried going to a blue system but didn’t find any 😕

It’s like unliving creatures or something

[dusty elm]

I've got my Iron Vulture on my regular game save now. Where can I get it painted with the new paints?

[fallen oar]

Also do people do this expedition multiple times so they can have multiple vultures?

[wraith junco]

U can jump back to your main save and copy last used ship before finishing expedition.

[fallen oar]

??

[wraith junco]

Channel name- settings- pined messages

[desert escarp]

You have to look in systems without any race or occupancy

guys how the hell do i find a hypnotic eye

i literally cannot find any abyssal horrors anywhere and ive been looking for hours

[remote thunder]

you had one in your ship when you started; did you throw it away? can just buy another from a trade terminal

[pale swift]

i found one at the very start of my hunt and the hypnotic eye despawned immediately 💀

[pale swift]

where can i find trade terminals? every system i go to is abandoned

oh right

the stations still have them working

[remote thunder]

abandoned space stations still have trade terminals yep, ramp/door on your right as you come in to land

[pale swift]

oh alright thanks

[remote thunder]

@pale swift fwiw, buildings on planets that normally have trade terminals still have them (and it doesn't take much to unlock eco scanner either to scan for trade outpost buildings)

lol found a wild trade terminal too 😄

oh thank goodness i thought it was ending today

[muted granite]

The expedition reward ship - can it be wholly parts'd? I'd love to rebuild it a few different ways over.

[desert escarp]

Hmmm there is a way

[remote thunder]

yes, see pinned post <#nms-expedition message>

wings give it the hover ability

[desert escarp]

Get it during the expedition (I think it's possible)
Set it as your active ship
End the expedition
Then you cna copy it as many times as you want for nanites on the main save

[remote thunder]

can also return to primary after unlocking it and equipping it

[muted granite]

You rock bk, as always. Thank you kindly.

[desert escarp]

Is Cursed Dust used for anything beside the pre-nanite goo during this expedition?

[remote thunder]

not that i recall

egg sequencer material maybe

[desert escarp]

Is there an external database with player shared outposts where I can search for a specific one?

[severe cloak]

is it possible to re-run expeditions from your main save?

or no?

I started it on my main save and I didn't see the option to

[remote thunder]

in a single place, only thing that comes to mind is the civilized space page in the wiki - but that's more for communities; owners usually just post on reddit and such

[remote thunder]

if i started and completed exp13 from existing save, that existing save cannot run exp13 again

i can start as many saves as i want, considering the 15 save side by side limit though

[severe cloak]

k

[plain musk]

which one to chose i think i saw someone here syaing that it doesnt give a lot of nanits so its between the first two

[remote thunder]

fabricate tech drops a freighter upgrade module of random type, but class and stats after installed are fixed per system; you're probably not going to use your exp13 freighter much, so it doesn't really matter - you can run these in non-expedition too if you want. i guess i'd pick the bulkhead

[plain musk]

nice i got the bulkhead i didnt know what it is until i searched for it

sorry, freighter inventory upgrade yeah

ok i finished the expedition finally now if i click end expedition i cant go back here right i need to take with me the items i want and what about the iron vulture do i claim it when i click end expedition? ive seen people talking about how they claimed it more than once i didnt understand that? ahh ships and multitools i can copy them when i go back right? i think that would cost nanits i dont remember how much around 1500? and does the units and nanits i have transfer to my save? i started from an exisiting save

[remote thunder]

if i click end expedition i cant go back here
if you click end - you end the expedition run - it's not the same thing as doing pause/options/return to primary (which leaves expedition "open", "running")

what about the iron vulture do i claim it when i click end expedition?
none of the phase and final expedition rewrds are a concern - those are all unlocked account wide already. what i mean by that is, if you made a new save right now, and unlocked anomaly, and went to quicksilver shop, claim expedition reward option, this <#nms-expedition message> is what you'd see under exp 13

ive seen people talking about how they claimed it more than once i didnt understand that?
i can click the "create" buttons more than once

if i wanted multiple copies of whatever gear i had equipped on primary or in expedition, depending if my save is currently on expedition or in primary

e.g. if i wanted to get parts from iron vulture to ship build <#nms-expedition message>

This bloody freighter is haunted!

[tribal jay]

what's the fastest anyone's completed this? only took me 16 ish hours and I took my sweet time doing whatever tf I wanted lol

[tribal jay]

second time I've seen this bug in 3 days

[wraith junco]

Ez ferrite dust

[tribal jay]

fr

[coral salmon]

yum

[tribal jay]

so now that I finished the expedition what do I have to do for it to actually turn into a normal save?

log out and back in?

[remote thunder]

complete and claim all milestones, phase and final expedition rewards

[tribal jay]

done

[remote thunder]

if started from existing, player gets redirected to space anomaly exp terminus

if started from new save, save is automatically converted to normal mode

[tribal jay]

huh ok

[remote thunder]

if neither happened, you have not yet completed all milestones/phases and claimed all rewards

[tribal jay]

I 100% did all of them, just logged out and back in on my freighter, the expedition tab is gone and there's NPCs

space stations are back to normal and everything, yay

[remote thunder]

save is automatically converted to normal mode

you didn't even notice

[tribal jay]

I did, but I wasn't seeing NPCs and space stations were still abandoned ETC

[remote thunder]

have to reload the system

[tribal jay]

yee

[remote thunder]

i converted, was still in abandoned system, warped out and back in, voila

there's no need to log out the save and reload though the conversion happens immediately, as noted by alone amidst the stars in log tab

where is the return to primary save? option? i saw that i can go back without using the terminal in the pinned messages

[remote thunder]

load your expedition save

pause, options tab, or Log tab, both have an option to return to primary, keeping expedition running

[plain musk]

nice thank you

[plain musk]

i am asking a lot of question about the expedition m sorry i am going to copy the iron vulture now ive read that you can copy only one ship and one multitool is that true cuz if it is id like to put all my ugrades from my other ships to the iron vulture and copy just it

[remote thunder]

if you equip vulture, return to primary, you can copy it as many times as you have the slots for and the nanites for; once you're satified, pause, options, return to expedition. here you're free to change to another ship, totally different ship, return to primary, copy that 2nd ship as many times as you want, have the slots and nanites for, and so on

so you could use a single ship with enough tech slots to carry all the tech, or you could copy multiple ships

[plain musk]

i see and they actually take tha nanits right i saw someone saying they dont u just need to have them, i dont think i can copy so many ships since i got like 4k and copying one cost 2800 something like that so ill just need to put all tech and copy it...

[remote thunder]

yes, it will take your nanites

iow, you need nanites in your main save - sus packets tech/arms, go around a few outlaw stations to add a few to teleporter list, then teleport around buying mentioned packets from contraband agent, when done buying unpack, sell upgrade modules that dropped for nanites

[plain musk]

i sell those upgrades in space stations right?

[remote thunder]

yep, any upgrade module shop; interact, press purchase modules, but then switch to sell top left

[plain musk]

i think ill do this if it gives good amount of nanits there is still two days in the expedition ill grind for as many as i can

so go aroung outlaw stations add them to teleporter teleport aroung buy the stuff unpack sell

right

[remote thunder]

first time i tried this, turned 11M units into 40K nanites in about 30min

[plain musk]

40k???
d

wow

[remote thunder]

just remember not all modules are worth the same

[plain musk]

but wait u turned 11m units to 40k meaning 11m worth of packets

[remote thunder]

correct

spent 11M units buying packets from the contraband agents, then decided it was enough, and then spent the next 5min or so spamming E to unpack

reminder: you can change the default setting of press&hold to just press

[plain musk]

ok ill start doing that right now thank you so much m hyped lol, and thanks for the reminder didnt know taht

[remote thunder]

there's other strategies ofc, and this one is kinda boring, so i only really resort to it when i need massive nanites "now"

[plain musk]

and thats what i need now, i saw the pinned message you mentioned and ill try them later cuz there is sentinel fights in them which i enjoy lol

[fallen oar]

How do I claim the iron vulture? It’s not in my shop assortment atm. Do I have to build it?

[lilac heart]

are you in your expedition save

[fallen oar]

Yes

Just completed it and left the expedition

[lilac heart]

if you're not actually in the expedition you should be able to go to the quicksilver companion and accept it as an exped reward

[placid needle]

can anyone help run through the expedition with me

i just lost my inventory and i’m moving pretty slowly rn. i’m on phase 2

[fallen oar]

When you go through the expedition after completion what is “create starship, copy iron vulture”. What does that mean?

As in I can obtain another one for the 2900 nanites?

[lilac heart]

it means you literally copy the iron vulture

[atomic estuary]

Yes

[lilac heart]

this is useful for scrapping the ship into its parts

since you can do it continuously

[atomic estuary]

@fallen oar

[lilac heart]

can only have one vulture copy at a time tho i think

[placid needle]

@ me if you’re able to

[atomic estuary]

[lilac heart]

whereas getting the iron vulture from exped rewards is a one-time thing i'm pretty sure

so if you want to get iron vulture parts now’s your chance to do it

[low light]

If you left the expedition through the terminal on the anomaly, it's too late to copy it btw

Also you don't need to pay 2900 nanites, you can turn the pricing of stuff down in the settings

[blissful hamlet]

I’m rich!!!!

[muted granite]

Alas I will not finish the expedition in time… will the Iron Vulture be awarded on the Redux later this year too, is that how it works?

[kindred mesa]

You still have 30h, you can do it! (takes like 4-5h if you're chillin!)

Expeditions do come back in Redux, but there's no guarantee that this specific one will be in this year's Redux-rotation around Christmas.
Happened to be the case last year with Yovagers/Singularity/Utopia tho (they all released last year and had redux already) - wait and see

[placid needle]

me neither

[placid needle]

i’m on phase 2 i might be screwed lmao

[kindred mesa]

Nah honestly, I ran mine a few days ago - played 2h for one evening, 3h for the next session and certainly did not rush anything

Might help: https://youtu.be/CBnXL_r4oOY

[wraith junco]

Yes . The reruns of current year exps have same rewards. Be warned. The reruns are shorter than regular expeditions. They last 2 weeks and start one after another ends. Reuns usualy start near end year just before holidays time

[kindred mesa]

First planet/system I mainly mined most resources I'd need, kill a bunch of aliens and get started most of the other phases were just rushing to Rendevouz and doing tasks conveniently nearby - was very doable and straight forward

[meager scroll]

Small correction: the time window for individual reduxes can vary

It used to be 2 weeks, but last round had only 1 week per exped

[iron tendon]

Hey guys, it seems like it's only possible to transfer items from the primary to the expedition but not the other way around?

[remote thunder]

will have to complete expedition to be able to do so

complete, as in, complete and claim all milestone rewards, all phase rewards, and the final expedition reward

[iron tendon]

I remember learning that it's not possible for the ship inventory to be transferred, right? Problem is, my expedition exosuit inventory is not enough, so I'm storing some things in the ships for now

[remote thunder]

the only way to get cargo items back to main is through the 24 cargo slots in the exp terminus stash

[iron tendon]

So am I supposed to just sell anything that I can't take with me in the suit?

[remote thunder]

any items "left behind", gear e.g. ships, multitools, storage containers, freighter, all that is lost, and may not be turned into units; so yes, i'd sell everything i don't plan on adding to the stash

[iron tendon]

Oh ok, will do

[remote thunder]

i'd scrap ships and multitools too, if i wasn't planning on doing any copying

[fallen oar]

Not my video but it helped me tremendously.

https://youtu.be/CBnXL_r4oOY?si=_RdeYwhbErnuCkRC

Follow it to a T. He skips stuff but it captures the milestone later

[iron tendon]

Thanks guys!

He mentions rearranging technology in the exosuit, what does that do?

[fallen oar]

There are supercharged slots that can help with a myriad of things.

Also placing tech next to similar tech helps as well

Don’t really deviate from what he says or it’ll take a lot longer

[remote thunder]

supercharged slots boost most things installed in them by ~1.25x

[iron tendon]

Oh I just realised that I had nothing placed in the supercharged slot

[earnest orbit]

Wonder if there will be an expedition after Adrift coming to a close in a couple days.

[remote thunder]

probably not right after

@iron tendon supercharging rule of thumb:

• if weapons, priority goes core tech, then upgrade modules
• else (e.g. life support, visor, jetpack) supercharge upgrade modules

run !faq in #bot-spam for a list of commands, in there you'll find suit, ship, mt and freighter synergy+supercharged slot layouts

[iron tendon]

Thanks!

guys how do i even steal the whispering eggs

i mined them but it doesnt even say that i took them

when you mine a whispering egg, it drops a larval core on the ground - need to be quick, aim at it and grab it, it doesn't stay around for long

hi all, do we reckon adrift will run again? I've got 1-2 days left now to do it, my pc has been out of action but i should be able to get it working again tomorrow

[remote thunder]

if the devs follow the pattern so far, yeah, we're expecting exp12, 13, and any others they might still release this year, to be rerun later this year

[fallen path]

fingers crossed then, thank you

when they rerun they tend to have the same rewards right?

[sweet spade]

Can you only transfer your expedition's main ship back to the main save?

[remote thunder]

right

[remote thunder]

yes, be sure to have it equipped before finishing or returning to primary (if you wish to change to different gear and copy those too, you'd return to primary instead of finishing it, and for it you must leave at least 1 milestone completed but unclaimed)

[sweet spade]

Thanks so much.

[remote thunder]

anything else just ask 🙂

[sweet spade]

So for clarity, once I finish the expedition, there is no way to get back to that save file

[remote thunder]

right, exactly, and that's only important if you wanted to do the copy steps with you know, multiple ships, or multitools even

so to avoid getting the exp terminus into the "finish expedition" state:

complete all, and claim every single milestone but 1, but claim all phase rewards and final exp reward

that will let you get all the rewards account wide, no problem, and still have an "expedition save ongoing"

which means that space anomaly/expedition terminus still has "return to primary" button

(and options/return to primary is still available too)

i think that's enough info to cover the basic explanation, again if you wanted to do copies of different gear

[remote thunder]

@sweet spade sorry, forgot to reply, thought you were still with me ^

[sweet spade]

Thanks! 🙏🏾

[pale swift]

the synthetic life quest has drained me

[remote thunder]

did you manage to complete it? i'd suggest sticking to red star systems around rendezvous systems, and looking out for the mission hint lower right of the hud for confirmation if there's any suitable planet in the system or not. there's also a bunch of pinned posts with images with relevant locations of systems in the galaxy map known to have robo fauna

[pale swift]

the star system is displayed

[slate inlet]

it wasnt that bad

[pale swift]

but even then it was miserable hopping to each 5 planets in a slow hauler

[fallow pendant]

[remote thunder]

2d

[slate inlet]

i just used space station teleporter to space station teleporter

[fallow pendant]

o

[slate inlet]

until it said "system has suitable life" or whayever it says

[slate inlet]

easy peasy

sometimes you find 2 on 1 planet

maybe more idk i only found 2 on one and 1 on the other

[lilac heart]

pretty sure there usually is 2 in 1 planet

[remote thunder]

robo fauna planets only ever have 2 fauna species, so it's a really quick trip down into atmos/landing for a waypoint windmill interaction, checking discoveries/system/planet view

robo fauna planets are always 2 fauna planets, and only robo fauna

[lilac heart]

you can also look for which planet has the most bases

it'll probably be the one with robot fauna

[remote thunder]

base markers won't show in exp13, but they'll be uploaded in teleporter

personally, i didn't find it to take all that long - took me about 10 minutes to search 5 red star systems around rdv3

[lilac heart]

you can look in the discoveries tab and see how many a planet has

[remote thunder]

if you've been to the planet or use freighter scanner room

[lilac heart]

i was able to see them without doing that

[remote thunder]

then only if it was discovered already

oh i see thank you

[sand elk]

Quick question - I'm progressing through the expedition but struggling to find an abandoned ship to salvage. I'm using the Signal Booster to find crash locations, but every time the location is empty, no starship in sight. Anyone have any tips?

[remote thunder]

disable multiplayer, make sure you're in a gek/korvax/vykeen system; once you get minotaur geobay bp from another milestone (phase 3 milestone 6), could also use it and its radar array to scan for distress signals, or you could use nautilon to scan for sunken ships, or you could find an echo locator resonator and get a sentinel ship

[sand elk]

Fantastic, thank you very much! Pretty sure it's the gek/korvax/vykeen thing now that you mention it. I'll give it a go 😄

[eternal cargo]

When I was doing Phase 2 in Expedition 13. I didn't jump through the portal. I warped to another system. Now I can't get any hyperdrives to scan robots for It's Alive. So without Amidst the Stars and It's Alive. I can't get the Expedition 13 ship.

[warm crag]

How do I find the robotic creatures?

[eternal cargo]

I can't wait for expeditions to restart late this year.

[warm crag]

Why

[eternal cargo]

Because at that time the Hello Games developers can create fail safes if a player doesn't go in order for each phase. Example, I warped to another system and forgot where my portal was located. So I can't complete Amidst the Stars. I can't build the Indium hyperdrive in Expedition 13 to get the It's Alive. Without those two, I am unable to get the Expedition 13 ship.

Also we can't turn in any navigation data to get charts in Adrift expedition to find monoliths that can lead to finding portals.

[eternal cargo]

Also I hope Hello Games and add "restart" milestones in expeditions in case a player like myself messes things up.

[warm crag]

You know you can do the expedition again, right?

[kindred mesa]

iirc right after Rendezvous 1 completion / Phase 2 start "The Feintest Echo / Amid the Stars"

[uncut grotto]

Thanks

[prime elbow]

Any tips for the Signs To Nowhere milestone or for getting lots of surge batteries for the signal booster?

[atomic estuary]

Is it the milestone where you need to gather waypoints?

[prime elbow]

Yes

[atomic estuary]

Just get into your ship and fly low

Scan frequently with the ships scanner, works the same as on foot, and game will mark unknown buildings, it's easier to see in 3rd person

Buildings will have waypoints

[prime elbow]

Thanks!

[remote thunder]

alt: once you unlock minotaur, you can install radar array on it, hop in it, quick menu, radar, scan for secure buildings

[prime elbow]

I'll try that too

[remote thunder]

in a gek/korvax/vykeen system, don't forget

expedition: starting from existing save: suggestions on resources to bring

• 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. activated indium)
• 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: if not copying ship from main save: emeril or packaged indium drive, packaged launch auto recharger, hyperdrive upgrade module (s-class recommended)
• optional: storm crystals for warp hypercore crafting and selling for units

[quick berry]

I went to the expedition terminal when I was done hoping to transfer items over to my main save like last time and the only option available to me was "end expedition". I'm really upset because I wanted to move some things to my main save.

Is this because of the structure of this expedition or did I do something wrong?

[ashen shore]

you can return to main save through the pause menu

[quick berry]

No I'm asking about transferring items from the expedition.

I only had the option to end mine, not load up the terminal with stuff.

[ashen shore]

well did u finish it?

[quick berry]

I did. I should have gone to it before finishing?

[ashen shore]

yeah

[quick berry]

dang

now i know 😦

thanks

[ashen shore]

you can transfer item on the empty boxes

[bleak vault]

When does expedition 14 start?

[ashen shore]

we dont know

[haughty atlas]

I'm done with the expedition. Are there any rare items I should bring back that are impossible to get on a normal save?

[bleak vault]

Sad

[iron tendon]

My A class photon cannon upgrade seems to only dismantle into 125 cadium 1 ion battery and 1 wiring loom. Unlucky? I thought it was meant to dismantle into 250 cadium and 4 wiring looms

[wraith junco]

Imo close to time when there will be nothing new to unlock in qs shop. They will have to update it

[remote thunder]

not to my knowledge, it's 125 cad+1 loom; i've certainly never had any module drop 4 looms, that would have felt like hitting the jackpot 🙂

[iron tendon]

I think I interpreted it wrong. I missed the part of the video where he says you can double the cadium by refining it with chromatic metal

[remote thunder]

that you can yeah, with any non-activated stellar metal

[iron tendon]

Not sure why he says: if you didn't grab photon upgrade, you need 4 more wiring looms

[remote thunder]

not sure, isn't making much sense to me tbh

[iron tendon]

Ah well, I guess I can afford to buy 4 more. Thanks, anyway!

[haughty atlas]

Im planning to bring back these items, am i forgetting anything?

[remote thunder]

i wouldn't bring frag qualia, you won't be able to bring the egg - do you have extra cash in expedition? maybe buy a few emergency signal scanners at reduced price from a terminal? 4 for the price of one (in normal mode), basically

atlantideum is like - you can get tons of it in any game mode

[haughty atlas]

That is Somnal Dust, looks rare

[remote thunder]

can get it from derelict freighters, wheel barrows at harmonic camps iirc as well

that icon though got me though, thought it was atlantideum 😄

[haughty atlas]

Thanks, maybe ill buy a few signal scanners (already have like 7 in my main save)
But just want to make sure i get all the rare collectables

[remote thunder]

both have the same icon - except rotated differently

😅

[haughty atlas]

True lol, would also have made that mistake

[remote thunder]

now i'll remember forever lol

[haughty atlas]

Ok got 6 extra emergency signal scanners.

[haughty atlas]

But are these all the collectables i can get?

(Already made 3 iron vultures on my main save so also have those to scrap)

[remote thunder]

there really aren't any collectible items in exp13, besides the writhing manuscript/cursed dust i guess, but yeah looks good to me

[haughty atlas]

Ok thank you!

Also, is it possible to scan those large worms? They have red dots but i cant scan them

[remote thunder]

they're not part of any planet's fauna list to discover, but if you aim at just the right spot with your visor, you can see info on it

[haughty atlas]

ah ok

[remote thunder]

e.g.

[haughty atlas]

Also should i farm these things for easy nanites? Or are there better ways to get them normally?

[remote thunder]

you can get them in non-exp13 as well, but yeah, worth 50 nanites each, an alternative to larval cores for example

[haughty atlas]

Ah yeah

Well thanks! Ill go end the expedition now!

[remote thunder]

congrats 🙂

[sand elk]

Just to follow up, this worked perfectly. Again, thank you so much! 😄

yes, we do get it unlocked account wide, claimable once per save from the anomaly quicksilver shop relevant dialog option, in any present or future save under the same account

[patent brook]

ok cool, thanks

[steady idol]

There's an expedition live?

Oh the Razor Crest one, thought that ended ages ago

[wide vine]

So I just randomly got killed by someone being in a space ship while walking on the planet and now my inventory is completely empty so I will not be able to finish the expedition anymore

Fun

[remote thunder]

options/network/disable pvp; what is it that you need atm? how many milestones left? if not a lot, which ones?

[wide vine]

I was able to almost finish the first milestone and I have some progress in the others well but it took a lot of time to farm like chromatic metals and so on.

Also my launching thrusters are now broken and I don't have any materials to repair them and stuff like that because that person like to kill me multiple times

Thought I might try to finish the expedition since I got broken up with today and needed a distraction

[remote thunder]

okay so you're at the start still pretty much. did you start the run from existing save, or new save?

[wide vine]

New

[remote thunder]

okay so, if that's the case, and you'd prefer not to have to fix all that stuff again, you could return to main menu, play game option, new save, and start over. you could also, suggestion, start a creative save, progress the little bit needed to unlock the anomaly, go farm/buy mats/craft stuff for free to bring into expedition, then start it from the expedition terminus, and once you unlock access to anomaly, you can get those mats to make your life easier

[pale swift]

guys can you resonate the echo locator in expeditions

[remote thunder]

yes, just make sure to be in an inhabited dissonant system, where there's at least 1 dissonant planet that doesn't have rusted metal or gold in resource list

[pale swift]

oh alright

[unkempt kraken]

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.

[plain musk]

hey can i take them and still resume the expedition and add more stuff?

[trail iron]

once you end it, that's the end of it. you cannot reenter it

you will get credit for things you dont bring back (autosell) and a lot of that stuff is easy to get junk

id keep the expansion slot items, and the surge battery (if thats what that is) and the rest isn't really important or hard to get

and if you install the tech on the ship, you'll be able to copy the ship with all the tech.

[remote thunder]

i think they're asking if they can edit the stash since they're on primary atm

and be able to remove and add items

[trail iron]

Oh.. my bad... i didnt zoom in, didnt see it's not "end expedition"

[plain musk]

yea like can i take them and then click resume and add more stuff

[remote thunder]

wait

this is your primary save rn

[plain musk]

yea i am in my primary save

[remote thunder]

does it let you take items out now?

try with the portable refiner for example

then click on the slot prev taken by portable refiner and add an item or stack to it

[plain musk]

i think i can take them yea

[remote thunder]

should let you then add something back in again, then when you press resume expedition double check anomaly when you get access to it

[plain musk]

ok so should i try to take them all and then resume

idk why m scared lol

i think ill copy the vulture first then do this lol

[remote thunder]

on the exp save though, you won't be able to edit stash until you finish

[plain musk]

hummm ill try

[remote thunder]

will be able to take items from it ofc, but won't be able to edit as slots get greyed out

[plain musk]

oh do you mean if i take them now from my save then go to the expedition ill find it gray like this

[remote thunder]

no, i mean that when on the exp side, after you take items out, you can't put items back in, because the slots get greyed out

i had all these in there - both these shots are on exp side, this one was once i first interacted with the terminus, basically

[plain musk]

ohhh i see i understand now

[remote thunder]

you'll only be able to bring items back to primary after you fully complete expedition

[plain musk]

ok ok thanks glad i asked

and one more thing i copied the vultrue once i have it now in my collection so now i go salvage it gain units and redo till i am out or nanits and ill keep one for myself ofc right?

[remote thunder]

what's your goal - it's to get the ship parts from it? the engines, the wings, the cockpit? to ship build a hauler later on?

[plain musk]

idk tbh i had to look for a hauler now cuz i didnt know what it is lol so its a ship with a lot of inventory right? and what the point of getting ships parts from it i though the goal is to copy it as much as we can and gain nanits to buy ships later i think i am wrong here, so what would you recommend

[remote thunder]

okay so you've seen iron vulture right?

[plain musk]

yea i have it now in my save

[remote thunder]

have you interacted with the ship fabricator before? well, here's an example screenshot, once you add valid parts in:

now, what if you could build a customized iron vulture, with a different color scheme? does that appeal to you?

or what about building a hauler, "normal" parts mixed with vulture parts?

[plain musk]

i did it told me to put parts which i didnt so i just left and i assumed i have to buy all the parts from diff planets or get them when i fight ig i can use the vulture parts to assemble one here the way i like

so yea that looks appealing

[remote thunder]

that's why you'd copy vulture multiple times - to salvage it for parts to ship build, or if it came with any special tech that you'd like to get multiple copies of

salvaging a hauler

thing is

with each salvage, we only get 1 of the parts, so 1 choice in the dialog menu there per ship

hence, copying a ship like vulture multiple times

[plain musk]

humm and there is only 3 parts we can salvage?

[remote thunder]

right

if you take your vulture right now to the starship outfitting terminal

you'll see that it lets you salvage it

[plain musk]

so wouldnt everyone salvage it like 3 times to get every part desired and use them to build what they want?

or they want to build more than one ship?

[remote thunder]

sometimes players want to have a stack of each, that's up to them

[plain musk]

is there one in the anomoly or just space stations?

[plain musk]

i see i see it makes sense yea

[remote thunder]

like you said before, just about how many nanites you're willing to spend, how much time invested, etc

[remote thunder]

only space stations (mt decomission terminal only in the anomaly)

and one more thing

[remote thunder]

and redo till i am out or nanits and ill keep one for myself ofc right?
iron vulture is the final expedition reward; phase and final expedition rewards are always unlocked account wide. what this means is, like quicksilver purchases for example, you can goto anomaly in any save, present or future, and claim account wide unlocked rewards, once per save.
so the "vulture to keep for yourself" can just be the ship you claim from the quicksilver shop/claim expedition rewards dialog option, whenever you feel like it/are able to.

[plain musk]

i see so if i didnt want to copy the vulture at all i couldve done that since ill get it in the rewards form the quicksilver shop

and i can get the ship in every save

even future?

[remote thunder]

yeah, that's correct

[plain musk]

wow thats cool

[remote thunder]

the copy ship/MT back to main, or abusing that for multiple copies, is basically used more for the stuff that's not unlocked account wide; iron vulture is kinda a special case because it's the first expedition to be released after Orbital, which lets player build their own fighter/explorer/hauler ships

[plain musk]

ok so now i want to build a ship like u said so ill just copy the vulture as much as i can salvage it in space station and get multiple parts then when m done i claim all my stuff from the expedition and claim the rewards including the vultrue from quicksilver merchant is this correct?

[plain musk]

i see

[remote thunder]

normally devs disable the "claim expedition rewards" option from the quicksilver shop during expeditions themselves though

[plain musk]

is this ship built cuz it looks like the vultrue and it looks so cool

[remote thunder]

1. yeah, let's say you want to build a vulture. so you'll need 3 vulture copies, to get 1 vulture engine, 1 vulture wings, 1 vulture cockpit - 1 part per ship.
2. besides the reactor which you get from available sources in normal mode, from any station, this is all you'll need to build a vulture
3. at this point you can just return to expedition, complete it: claim everything, every milestone, every phase reward too, you've already claimed final exp reward at this point.
4. previous step unlocks all phase rewards and the final exp reward account wide as mentioned.
5. in the primary save, in regards to vulture, you've now got two options:
   5a) build a vulture as you want it, no need to claim it from quicksilver shop. save that for sometime in the future maybe who knows.
   5b) you hold on to the vulture parts, because you want to find some other cool hauler parts not belonging to vulture, and mix those to make a cool hauler using 1 or more vulture parts. but you still like vulture's default combination: claim it from the quicksilver shop.

[remote thunder]

no, that's a proc gen hauler, with one of the visual bugs currently in the game (black wing not supposed to be black)

vulture wings are different as you can see

[plain musk]

ok so correct me if m wrong lets say i want to build two ships using vultrue parts ill copy the vulture 6 times to get the 3 parts twice, use 3 parts to build teh vulture as i want like you said, the other 3 parts ill mix them with cool hauler parts i can for example make 3 ships using one vulture part in each one of them and since i built a vultrue as i like i can keep the one from the quicksilver shop (it wont go away or something? and i can use it later for who know maybe slavage it for a part or just keep it and enjoy it)

[plain musk]

i see it looked similar that why i thought its the vulture but i undestand now from the pic

[remote thunder]

yeah, it's similar looking those circular parts

[remote thunder]

yeah, or just claim it to own it as it was originally, basically. yeah, that's correct, you got it.

[plain musk]

alright i really appreciate explaining everything to me thank you so much ill go do all that right now

[remote thunder]

no problem, ask as much as you need to. also, when you're done collecting the nr of parts you want, you're free to go back into expedition and actually finish it, bring items back to main etc. the ship and MT you have equipped, you'll still be able to copy them after finish and back in primary with no way to go back in, but only until expedition ends server side in a few hours

i'd probably do that - actually finish it, to be a clean finish - before expedition ends server side

[ionic glen]

the expedition ends tomorrow !? i thought it would end later this week

[ashen shore]

13h

[faint mesa]

So, 12h to do? It can be done 😎

[ionic glen]

i don't have this much time on my hands

maybe half

maybe less

[faint mesa]

I guess few people have, but you can do it in 4h more or less on a focused run

Follow some guides and such

[ionic glen]

and ig because of how the expedition is...it's impossible to do it in group ?

[faint mesa]

Yep, milestones are all personal, and in this one specifically you are flying solo

Still, should find plenty of bases to help you in your way

[ionic glen]

i meant about the fact that the expedition probably cuts off multiplayer for everyone

[faint mesa]

Oh... it kinda doesn't, you can still see people in the Anomaly for instance, and player's bases

[ionic glen]

ah ok

[faint mesa]

You can't communicate though

Not even by text...

[ionic glen]

or exchange things either ?

[faint mesa]

That's one thing I don't know how it's working 😅
Sorry.

I always play expeditions offline to be honest.

[ionic glen]

ok

[ionic glen]

out of context, is the "fine lod" a good mod for lod loading or performances problems ?

because the lods are loading in a delayed way for me and i'm forced to lower down the render distance of lods

[faint mesa]

No idea, I don't use mods 😕
Not even possible on Mac. Might be better to ask on #nms-modding

anyone know which planet in the rendezvous 5 system has the worm burrows?

[ashen shore]

rdv 5 is aggressive sentinel planet

[faint mesa]

I remember some rendezvous having them, but if you can't find it quickly enough, go back to the starter planet, plenty of worms there. I think pins have the system's names

[ionic glen]

Can we start the Adrift expedition from our main save like the previous expedition ?

[pale swift]

so what should the system be called then>

Took me 6h roughly

[pale swift]

only 6 hours???

[wide vine]

Yeah, I thought I was slow because I had trouble finding synthetic lifeforms

[pale swift]

i dont even wanna count how many hours ive wasted

half of it was spent on the loading screen anyway lol

[wide vine]

It took me like almost 30 minutes and I did that quest after I finished all the other ones to make it easier

[ashen shore]

[wanton raft]

Ah

Those expedition patches? I really haven't bothered to look at them. I think I have them all at least twice.

[ashen shore]

all exped decal

that i have

i dont have all

[wanton raft]

I do them on the PC and the PS4 so tow accounts.

I'm not going to be able to get back to my PS4 until the exp is over. I've done the whole thing on it but haven't accepted all the rewards yet. Hope I can take it off line the set the clock back like I've done in the past.

Right now, I'm just accepting the rewards on the PC save and transferring stuff.

[ashen shore]

[wanton raft]

So I understand that once I accept all the rewards, I'll be able to start doing transfer back the my main save. Does that sound right?

[ashen shore]

yeah

[wanton raft]

Does the game still have that problem where a starship class upgrade will not be allplied to a sentinel ship?

[ashen shore]

wah i got no clue

[wanton raft]

I think it may still have that problem, so if you've not claimed that reward, don't do it on a sentinel ship.

[ashen shore]

[wanton raft]

So I can do it with fighters, explorers and haulers eh?

[remote thunder]

i'm not sure if it will apply correctly to others

seems that it's the a-class to s-class that fails, regardless of type - it was first found on sentinels

[wanton raft]

I'll backup the save files, buy some ships and do a test.

So it would probably work on a shuttle/sentinel too if was B to A then?

Wait, just remembered. On this expedition, there's just no way to buy ships it there.

So I can't really test this bug I guess.

Guess I could transfer a ship from my main save to test. You can transfer multiple ships into the expo right?

[vale shoal]

This question has probably been asked but does anyone know exactly what time the expedition will end ?

[hazy tusk]

Bruh why do I need so much quicksilver to claim the iron vulture????

[hazy tusk]

6am pst

[pine haven]

Did anyone increase their hyperdrive range?

[wanton raft]

Yep, I just verified it with a fighter A and a pirate A so I bet the bug is happening with all A to S.

[wanton raft]

I accepted all the rewards and then accepted the iron Vulture reward and that ended the expedition. If I had accepted all the other rewards but not the Iron Vulture, would it have allowed me to transfer stuff back to the main save without ending the expedition?

[low light]

@rancid palm just moving this to another channel, next time you do an expedition, you can go back to your main save before the expedition ends and you can copy stuff through the same terminal you started the expedition with. Then when you're ready, you can use that terminal to go back to the expedition. Just remember it's only your current multi tool and ship you have selected that can be copied

You go back before ending through the settings menu

[rancid palm]

Ok thanks

[wanton raft]

I guess you only get one bunch of stuff you can transfer back from the expedition save right? Not talking about the ships and MTs.

[kindred mesa]

iirc you get 1-2 upgrades via Challenge-rewards that should suffice
(i.e. Phase 3 Abandonment)

[rough mortar]

8 hours homies you got this

[fervent horizon]

ohhh crapbaskets and i was about to fire up fallout 76 yeeeeeeeeeeesh 🤣

[low light]

I think that part is locked until you finish all the way

[kindred mesa]

Other than specific Expedition Rewards it converts everything in your inventory into / and rewards more on top of that for some of your actions (acquiring ships, multitools, exploring planets, etc) - once you finished all Challenges and Phases, you can go back to the Anomaly-Terminal and finalize the Expedition to return to your mainsave with the big paycheck

[wanton raft]

Hopefully it will let me copy the Iron Vulture to the new save after the expedition is done. I kinda want to try to take parts from the vulture and put them on other ships if it will let me.

Just for grins.

[kindred mesa]

Make sure to have the Iron Vulture equipped as your primary ship in the Expedition-Save before you finalize it

Costs like 2.8k to copy it over - repeatedly, for as many parts as you want

[wanton raft]

Don't think you can not do that because the act of accepting the Iron Vulture is what ends the expedition. I tested that and then reverted the save.

[kindred mesa]

That's precisely what I've been doing to get my parts

[wanton raft]

Not problem. Nanites are endless.

[kindred mesa]

Equip IV on Expedition, finalize it, back to Terminal on Mainsave, copy for 2.8k as often as you want, deconstruct at space station, repeat.

I don't think you can do this before you fully completed (aka no-return to) the Expedition

[fervent horizon]

Ok I'm trying to install tech that needs platinum and it's stuck at 99/100 and going into the repair screen or dropping the platinum on the upgrade doesn't do anything 😭

[fervent horizon]

when you need the emeril drive and the only system nearby that has emeril requires the emeril drive to reach it 🤪 🫠 😆

[meager scroll]

You don't need emeril drive for expedition

Cadmium Drive to reach red star systems

Those spawn robotic fauna

[fervent horizon]

Well I have a way point to a planet that has em on my galaxy map...idk I guess I just feel weird having a naked ship lol

Also I find it rather funny they said the robo fauna was on planets in blue galaxies 😆

signs to nowhere

easy

[lost geyser]

but you reckon phase 4 is doable in 40mins 🥺

its gettin lateee

[remote thunder]

signs to nowhere: either fly "around" while going for your next destination and spam quick scan, or use minotaur radar array (phase 3 milestone 6) to scan for secure buildings

[lost geyser]

oo

[remote thunder]

i wouldn't worry about this milestone

but you will need it for fathoms below

[lost geyser]

yikes

[faint mesa]

Can you show your inventory? If it doesn't take time
Perhaps there's stuff you can refine to make nanites and clear Quantum Foam

[remote thunder]

quantum foam can easily be done with zoology over multiple planets, and uploading discoveries

[lost geyser]

i got about 500 runaway mould in my refiner backpack tho

omgg idk howto upload discoveries!
