oh damn
I must say though: this expedition's theme is perhaps the most amusing I've ever seen. Great tribute to Starship Troopers lol.
the first few days were ridiculously slow. Then there was a major server crash, discord erupted into chaos and eventually they did a patch to make bar go up faster (on the second week of the expedition I think) lol
The writing is quite funny, brings back memories from the movie
i suppose it was more helldivers II inspired, since helldivers are more popular now, then starship troppers
I-I... never played that game.
But I know the movie.
...
Wonder what that says about my age...
30+ at least
remember the cgi tv show?
Wasn't a thing in my country I guess.
I wonder what it says about my age that I was more familiar with the starship troopers tv show... the movie being new in my perspective
How do you hit 4 targets with one grenade? I’m stuck on that one, as no matter how many creatures/horrors I can get together, I can only manage to hit 2
what happens to a save after expedition? Do I just go back to my old ssave?
The movie? Pff. Book.
👀
eggs can't be transferred back
im old and so are you lol
the movie is nearly 30
either they're phase rewards, or player started from new save for conversion to normal
Yep, pretty new.
Yep, that one is beyond me
My video regarding expedition became 4 hour long...
Since it's also a ||reward|| it should be in the Expedition vendor.

My first run is going pretty good... M not even rushing and things getting done on own...for example Alex Predator
plenty of time left
I hope my system don't crash ... During rendering though
Yeah even after wasting time getting a better ship I still managed to do phase 2 ...
😆
no worries, we cruising
the thing about eggs is that they're tradeable so I'm sure there'll be plenty of people supplying those from converted saves
I thought that grub was like something to eat... Good thing it's in NMS... Otherwise...
Are there any ways to get expedition rewards for past expeditions.
decisions, decisions 😏
save editor, modding, service bot
Expedition REDUX.. usually happens sometime during end of year
They have, in the past, re-run expeditions during the end of the year. Nov?/Dec.
Example: https://www.nomanssky.com/2023/12/holiday-2023-expeditions/
so far the dominant pattern has been release 3-4 exps a year, rerun those exps later that same year, and done. but see holidays 2023: exp3 made a comeback, in a slightly unexpected way (mixed rewards)
Take it...
Getting A class from sentinal tower is very very rare
Take it for the motherland
I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they decide to start doing the mini-redux versions in between regular expeditions
Thanks
I ran out of time for the iron vulture last expedition
it's my 3rd in 3 saves :P
That terminal in the Anomaly can have many uses in the future, who knows
exp13 will rerun later this year, probably
Yeah I did it during that time...I want to do expedition 9 or maybe 10
particularly if the new HG game starts pulling devs from NMS
or if at some point all expedition rewards become available for lots of quicksilver
tbh i think it's a side-by-side for them
Someone from Hello games were there at right before expedition start...I wonder if it's like a switch ..at anomaly they have to activate...lol
That's probably the plan, but I imagine shit will hit the fan at some point close to release date and then it'll be all hands on deck lol
Hi all 🙂
I'm a new player and I'm wondering if I should / could do the expedition now? (Only played for a couple of hours) or should I wait till I got a better handle on the game?
Basically, what's more fun? ^^
Expedition start in...3...2...1..boop
the usual 😏
You can do it...
Imho starting with EXPEDITIONS is better...I think....
AND welcome to nms
this one's more combat based-- so you may need to ask around for better weapon choices, necessary skills/know-how, etc, but that's what we're here for.
running old expeditions on demand is probably going to need some backend support and some tweaking probably, to make it possible to run stuff that for example relied on community goals
If I still have the save file from past expeditions, can I complete them now?
not unless you're on pc
Alright, thanks lads!
Damn
Makes sense. That is -- if they keep the community goals concept in these cases
I noticed that in the corner with Kronos (Chronus?) there is space for another terminal/branch in the anomaly, space-wise. I wouldn't be surprised if that was intended for future expansions of which they weren't sure at this point
They will get sentinal weapons at start...so I think they are covered...plus it will become S class at EXPEDITION end...so no harm
yay we're at 12% now?
should be almost 13, its been 12 for at least an hour
I started the expedition, and spawned on a planet called eardog sigma
would've been cooler to use these minotaur liquidator parts during the expedition to fight the bugs
Yep, that place is kinda odd, feels like something to expand on... but it has been there for a long time
I wouldn't be surprised if they just revamped the whole Anomaly lol. The current layout is kinda confusing...
I'm at my 3rd crash this expedition..
that being said, it looks like its gonna be 5 times 100% to get the whole thing done (based on the bar graphic, not the number) so... its gonna take a little while.
yep, we all do - expeditions put players in the same system, same objectives, same route
there's no point keeping track or grind kills imo
HG can also tweak the progress speed
Wooo finally done with these bugs…now I gotta wait like everyone else
especially with the orbital/space station overhaul they have support for larger structures, so the anomaly fits in just as well. i wonder if they can have some "local" (e.g. single player?) support for previous expeditions, where you still need to go through the steps, but at your nearby systems which at the same time doesn't need a whole lot of server/backend support
yep, I'm sure there's a daily contribution cap per save
Before i make a copy of my multi tool and ship, will it carry over their upgrades too or just empty versions?
Yep. Players are always asking for some way to play old expeditions, and lately HG has been giving some long requested features... wouldn't surprise me if they were working on something like that
I should have taken some notes during expedition 10 since it was basically the same thing. I remember there was a cap of some sort but I don't recall the specifics.
the regular just have fun, do "your part"
When I use an existing save to enter the expedition, can I pick the ship I want to use? I have 3 ships from that exp still saved to it<<<does that question make sense lol...
though, i don't think they "finally" gave them, i think they've been working on it, but the complexity and small team just make it a long time to balance new content and "fixed" old content
what rewards it gives for the current expedition?
@remote thunder ...
Me at anomaly..
Looking at someone
.right before expedition start
have it equipped before interacting with the terminus
i c wut u did thar
I think I would spend some good weeks in the game playing all of them that I missed if this finally came around 😆
oh i thought there is some new stuff for the mech
any tips on alluring specimins?
That's supposedly pretty doable with modding, tho I wouldn't know the specifics since I did all of 'em when they came out... people in #nms-modding probably know more about it
oh I play mainly on the switch, although I plan on just buying the game again whenever I get a working pc running
what do you need help with? 🙂
ah yeah, that would complicate things. I think some of the earler expeditions never even ran on the switch?
also the game got way smoother for the switch this update, I was expecting to explode given all the visual upgrades
but it's quite faster now, couple months ago things got so bugged I straight up fell out of the anomaly into space and couldn't fly back
Someone run !tier here please
and since you're immune in the anomaly I couldn't die either
!tier
@pine relic Please use this command in #bot-spam.
Ty
swimming lessons
normally they're everywhere, now I can barely even find water 😆
If you want to cheese it, just kill 3 random fish, that'll complete the milestone regardless of finding alluring specimens.
... for real lol
I wish I knew of the 3 fish bug cause the real objective ones are quite scary
Again please
!tier
@pine relic
Goofy lookin ahhh bug feet. Kinda unsure bout it
Coolio
o7
o7
Anyone else's autocorrect started to correct to names recently?
That was cool
Lower case
Lol
That sounds like a mobile problem, I only use pc discord :P
🤷
sometimes..
uhm when doing first hyperdrive jump and the black hole pops up, were i supposed to go into it? :p no players around here so im not sure
yeah I don't get it either. That's kind of bethesda levels of jank.
So I need to pause or end expedition to transfer over stuff to main?
end
would it be worth it to do the expedition more than once
@inland rain note: phase and final expedition rewards are already unlocked account wide
Lol
Does the fat of the land mission even work?
I just mined 1000 ferrite in one use of my multitool and it didn't register
What bout waiting for optionals
if you just returned to primary and went to qs shop/claim exp rewards, they'd be there already
For rewards, not really. If you're having fun and want another go, then sure.
optionals are not usually unlocked account wide, but there has been 1 expedition in the past that has done so
It does give good units and nanites I'm pretty sure
Select the milestone and keep track of the number in the bottom right corner of the screen
Oh do you mean the one that unlocked all the eggs? (forgot which expedition that was)
@inland rain i'd suggest keeping it running then, if optionals are something you're interested in
I don't think you can run it multiple times with the same save to farm units... and even if you could, there are way more efficient ways for both things (timewise).
@remote thunder just want mah liquidator armor
ah
We all do
That being said, if someone is having fun with the expedition and wants to run it again just for giggles, I don't see why not :P
or for speedrunning or whatever, that's pretty valid and I've done that a few times myself in the past
Does it help to redo it to add more to the community mission?
Liquidator 3183G, you dawg 😏
not enough to be worth the effort
best exp to do multiple runs was exp12 - 10k+ quicksilver each run 😄
Just gonna jump 900ly to some remote system and wait 5 days 🤷
Yeah, I've done a few reruns of one of those expeditions that had a ton of quicksilver to make up for the lack of nexus on the switch to fill out my quicksilver unlocks
is there any information on what the global liquidation milestones are in terms of the total numbers
I'm up to date and with surplus now so...
seeing how slowly it went up in the first day really has me curious
god the starting planet is so beautiful
im gonna retire to here and do my part across the planet
aaaanyway,
gg
with the optional milestones still open, it won't convert to normal save yet, right?
as long as you dont interact with the terminal inside anomaly
I've been going around the subways of the planet and didnt find a single one of them, anyone knows any tip?
assuming it doesn't bug out, yes.
I remember there was one semi-recent expedition that had a bit of a premature conversion bug lol
bug out
if i hear one more time the word "bug" imma lose it
liquidator ptsd kicking in every time an arthropod appears
🤷♂️ bugger
try the one in the other planet in the starting system, its in the ocean and easier to find: #nms-expedition message
Thanks!!
Keep in mind that, for unknown reasons, that eel / worm dude doesn't trigger the milestone for all players. If after scanning it your milestone doesn't complete I'd recommend reloading the restore save (from the last time you exited your ship) and trying again. Or just go do other milestones / phases (you don't need to do them in order) and scan random creatures as you go. If you finish everything else and only that milestone is missing, THEN you start seriously hunting for predators to scan.
IMO its just not worth it to be stuck trying to complete that one milestone for 12 hours straight like some players when there's still plenty of other stuff that you could be doing at the same time.
Would anyone in the area of the 5th drop off happen to know of a planet that has storm crystals on it, cause spend a few hours last night looking and could not find one
I think the planet for the 4th drop zone had storm crystals. I didn't need 'em for anything but ended up collecting like 20 or so while doing the storm milestone.
I need one or two to help fix my bloody exomech
or was it 5?
spending a couple minutes across all systems to scan all planets
can get you valuable info
What’s a vile grub?
Oh ok, got it!
Rev 5 is Def Extreme ... I'm there now
@pine relic Would you happen to be near the 5th drop off and maybe join me and trade a few? lols
I think it may have been the 5th one that had the crystals.
You know.. I'm surprised HG didn't make the grubs a cooking ingredient. A Grub Smoothie sounds funny to me.
@dusty ridge either that or #3:
Ive not been to eather of those systems so I have no idea where they are
Rendezvous / Dropzone 5 and Rendezvous / Dropzone 3 respectively. If you're on the 5th dropzone then you should have been to both :P
(the names are in the pins)
and you can always use the station teleporter to go to a previous one, assuming you remembered to land at the space station in each system
That is so weird Ive been to all 5 main systems but their names are not in my visted
Like Im looking at my list RIGHT now and they arent in there
since ODS has been screwy, maybe in your list they've been renamed. Does the discovery page look the same (other than the name)?
add a planet from each of them to wonders to cross check glyphs
if they're at dz5, they could just check the glyphs from picture mode against the pinned message
ah i didn't see they were there
I'm at neither location but the stuff in my discovery list matches the pins at least in terms of names
No their all dif even showing systmes that are 6-7 years old
some other user earlier posted a screenshot with a mismatching rendezvous 3 name in the teleporter list so who knows wtf is going on lol
glyphs should match, so if nothing else we've got that
Anyone know a system with corrupted sentinels?
saw like 3 or 4 travelers in this expedition route
e.e now just to find a teleporter then
I tried to name the bug Buggy but it keeps going to all caps
just look for a system with the word dissonant under its name
Can’t find one
sure you can
Just did nvm thanks
see, the one I mentioned (#nms-expedition message) their rendezvous 3 system didn't match even in terms of race / economy compared to my list (#nms-expedition message) - super weird
oh yeah, that's just ODS
could that be a mod conflict?
Oh good lord, I just went to look for the 5th drop zone, I had went ot nearby systems but Its not the same name as the one in the pin.....
What race controls it?
Ok think I found it
Thank you
Only one system in this cluster I been to that is korvax owned
12.0 predator is a nightmare ^^
hmm, maybe, if they're using some mods that mess with galaxy generation - not sure on that. souonds more like ODS was down for them at the time they went through it
Same. I am searching it all day now.
but if it was ODS shouldn't the race / economy match at least?
The max I’ve found is 11.2
oh wait i missed that, it didn't?
then that's not just ODS
nope, you're right if it didn't
could also be ODS, but definitely something else, and "very wrong"
nope, they had rendezvous 3 as Vykeen, Science, Conflict 1 and I had it as Gek, Trading, Conflict 3
literally nothing matching lol
idk why that name sangju is familiar.
Previous expedition maybe?
that could make sense.
Nope not the right systme, I cant finish the last two I need cuase I need the bloody mech, and to do that I need to repair it with a storm crystal so im SOL as of right now...
converted from past exp/merged from exp you know?
but
that doesn't make sense after all, because stuff is only merged back to primary, not into exp
that one system that was like a black hole that sucked every player into it several versions ago was called something else wasn't it
you probably remember the one I'm talking about. The one that kept popping up in teleporter lists for no apparent reason.
With a death trap base that dropped you from orbit lol
uh... i remember something about that
I hate to ask this, but would anyone be willing ot help me eather find the system by joining me or helping me find a teleport on a planet, or even spare a stormcrystal or two x.x
You can buy storm crystals at outlaw stations I think
@dusty ridge don't get me wrong, but i don't think you need our help for this. simply look for, in your discoveries list, a planet with activated copper/cadmium/emeril/indium, then goto teleporter, and see if you got that system's station on your list. teleport to it.
Ive looked.....
Non of the systems match cause of some bug
The predator thing is way too random
forget the matches
do it on your own, as if you were playing your main saves
I spent 3 hours last night looking for a planet that has storm crystals
Likholu. That was the name of the bugged system.
Yes. Too random and too hard. Kept searching for a predator in the starter system, no luck.
it always has something like that
And I am searching it Day 2
yeah, i figured that's what you meant, but "black hole" confused me
Just look for planets with Active Copper (or Active anything really), wait for storm, see if storm crystals light up. It shouldn't take long.
-#
to view info below, enable embeds
@dusty ridge
Storm Crystals can be obtained from extreme hazard planets. Extreme hazard planets have Activated <Stellar Metal> (e.g. Activated Copper) in their resource list.
Exception: Lush biome planets (Star Bulb on resource list) do not spawn Storm Crystals.
Land, and start looking for the nearest Storm Crystal spawn. They will be scattered across the landscape.
Storm Crystals can only be interacted with and harvested during an extreme storm, but are easy to spot, and the on foot visor can assist as well.

skip the ones that have star bulb
they couldn't be easier to see from the air
Done found it ^^
I am officialy stuck in the starter planet. No Starship Lunch Fuel and no Uranium.
BK always has a command for everything lol
There is a planet called predator 12 and there is a insect underground
BK?
Where? Can you send a screenshot please?
@remote thunder
e.e god damn nothing but no help e.e........
Make some. Every planet has hydrogen crystals and some source of ferrite dust to make launch fuel. No matter where you are, if you're on a planet you're within 20 seconds walking distance of both resources.
I know.
Yes
And what is the planet name and system name?
And also do I need to get a new Tech for the Visor?
if you want someone to join you in expedition to bring you to wherever or get you storm crystals, try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades , or use service bot https://app.nmsassistant.com/
I meant more in the metaphorical sense. I suppose I should have said vacuum cleaner instead since that wouldn't have a in-game-mechanic that corresponds to it lol
Thé planet name is : HAS 12.0 apex predator mantis looking thing
Ok.
How long do yall think itll take to do all the tiers
It takes as long as it takes.
More than 24 hours but less than 6 weeks.
in this system
Kinda impossible to narrow it down any further than that at this point lol
Ok
at least a week, HG tend to alter the goalposts
Bloody Pirates ... in the middle of farming sentinels near a minor settlement with the SWL at 4 ... pirates turn up and start shooting the place up ... SWL drops to 0 ... did get 1 walker though.
not to mention that the bar itself is... behaving inconsistently. Now the wonky label is target 2 instead of target 5...
before / after - they may have improved the UI recently but some areas clearly still need a bit more work
I got a question. If I have a save and I have made progress in the Expedition to Phase 2 on that save, can I continue the expedition in a different save with The same progress or do I have to start all over again? In a different save I mean to use an Older save for it. Can I do that?
Diffrent save. Diffrent progress
Question, is the final system a absolute warzone
Grinding for the liquidation stuff
not particularly.
Guys, Why is My Phase 1 Liquidation Milestone like stuck at 12%
I went around killing Sentinels and Swarms and Broodmother etc
That’s global. It’s just at 12%
Anyone have tips on finding the hostile creature for achievement?
I’ve scanned down 20+ worlds
Phase 1 Milestone?
starter system - #nms-expedition message (and an alternative predator on the other planet in the starter system is in the pinned messages)
I heard there was an angry dino at one of the third roundevu system planets
Oh man that’s way back at the start
Thank you though
You can just take a station teleporter
station teleporters are a thing
They are however I forget the system name. Know it?
its in the picture. Top part of the right side picture.
i wish we could see exactly how many enemies we've killed
i wanna know how much of my part i've done
catalogue & guide - click on any of the journey milestones - Mercenaries Guild
Ok. I got a favor to ask. Someone above sent me the System, where I can get the Predator 12 Milestone. Can one of you go to the starter system and look towards the 12 predator system, so I know where to look?
<#nms-expedition message> this?
finding it with just that screenshot is going to be like looking for a needle in a haystack
i need more to go on
its the third rendezvous
Hi, i just finished the expedition, should i make a storage and leave everythiung there? it transfer automatically, how it works for my items?
Yes. In the Galaxy Map, go to the starter system and look towards that system, so I can figure put where it is.
then..
have you already completed the dropzone3 milestone?
Yes. I only need to do the Hazardous Flora and Apex Predator
anyone else seen the "best of luck helldiver!" planet along the expedition path?
Its not in the same planet as dropzone 3, but it is in the same system. Supposedly a planet was renamed to 12 predator or whatever, but since ODS has been wonky... on my end it shows that I discovered it (and all default names) lol @remote thunder
I just started the expedition and it's actually my first one.
Do y'all have any tips to begin that thing-
first one for me too, honestly just take it at your own pace
Oh okeh.
Same. First one.
ends in september so you've got a lot of time to work through things, also space combat is actually a lot easier in a hauler than i expected
Well I just fought against some sentinel interceptors.
It was pretty easy.
found a sentinel ship on the dropzone 4 system's dissonant planet but it was C-class
though I wouldn't be surprised if there were multiple different dropzone 4 systems
One of the uploaded bases there was right next to an S class sentinel ship, and named accordingly. I didn't take an interest since it was a downgrade compared to what I have on my non-expedition save.
alright, give me a few
advice: always visit stations of rendezvous systems
tbh sold all of the meat i would get from killing biological horrors
You'll get more. They spawn literally everywhere during the expedition.
funny how i struggled to get units at the start, and now im at 9 million in less than 24 hours
It's the first time biological horrors spawned when I grabbed a gravitino ball.
Usually it's just sentinels getting triggered.
dont know much about expeditions, and even less about this game's multiplayer, but is it possible that there are multiple expedition paths? or do bases just despawn when the owner isn't online
This may have been stated before but hoping I can help some other water related phobia sufferers like myself, for the blood in the water milestone it seems the jellyfish count ,
So you can just tread some water mine resources till the jellyfish spawn and defeat them for the milestone
Nope. Uploaded bases show even with multiplayer turned off, and even with the owner offline. But the base could get pushed off the teleporter list if a sufficient number of other bases are uploaded in the same system.
There's also these freaky ahh floating eye thingies.
Dunno what they are but they're scary.
dont think i've seen any of those since i started my expedition save lol
Yeah me too.
Well-
Wait no I think I misunderstood-
Ah whatever.
Never seen these things before.
same
They're from random space encounters, that were repurposed as decoration around planets for this expedition :P
I forgot the official name
Oh, okeh.
Let’s call them Eye Guys.
Space Phenomena?
Space Sauron.
they remind me of giant abyssal horrors, or whatever those things are that are common around sunken facilities
That's kinda vague.
Asteroid Larvae is the official name. :P https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Asteroid_Larvae
...
I dunno what to call it.
Asteroid?
might just be the difficulty being slightly higher than what i normally play on, but i swear every time I jump systems there's a bunch of pirates attacking freighters
Yep, its passive unless you poke it :P
some guy has a base set up at a sentinel tower in rendezvous 4, i raided the tower and the "weapons technology" it's given me is a ball multi-tool
Are the optional quests that good, how long to complete them all?
If you scrap your main save ship in expedition can you copy it again or is it only once?
did they add more vykeen words cause the translator is not working?
They're a community effort. Everyone contributes but you can't really finish it by yourself. It should take a little while until they're done. The main rewards are new Minotaur techs including a flamethrower. The first one has some random loot + inventory slots instead.
Ahh okay sounds nice, also speaking of the minotaur, if i put the tech inside of it will it be kept into my mail safe file?
nope. You'd need to either repackage the tech and transfer it back to the main save as an item, or unlock the recipe to build it in the main save.
not sure why this isn't progressing even though I killed 5 broodmothers
Understood
Its a community goal.
I am asking. Is there a Monolith in the Starter System?
There should be several. Just use a chart to find one.
Which chart?
Alien something or other.
Ok.
Ancient Artifact Site.
Ok
Hmm, we have this on experimental branch's patch notes:
- Fixed a number of balance issues in the Liquidator's expedition.
Wonder what that means...
Maybe they're fixing the 'kill 3 random fish' thing.
Too easy? Too hard? I forgot to do this one while underwater in my first session lol.
Well, clearly the milestone intended to force people to find alluring specimens so killing 3 random fish would be too easy comparatively :P
Oh, I get it.
but balance could also be in relation to speeding up the community goals
They said "a number of balance issues"... I guess we will see a few changes
We'll see when it goes to the public branch, I'm on experimental but I figure that's a minority of players
If you notice anything different, tell us 😆
Well, I wouldn't be able to tell since I've finished everything other than the optionals lol
New run!
(Kidding -- but kudos for finishing)
Well, I finished yesterday but thanks I guess lol
good
Will my expedition save carry over after the expedition ends?
Just periodically checking the community goals now
If you started the expedition in a brand new expedition-specific save from the main menu then yes, it'll convert into a normal mode save at the end and you'll keep everything.
Ok. Do people in normal modes still see bugs? Or is that an expedition/planet specific thing?
If you started from the anomaly, then you only keep the account unlocks + whatever you transfer over as an item, and you'll have the option to copy the equipped ship and multi tool to your original save.
They should still be around after the expedition, just not EVERYWHERE. :P
Ah ok. Im new and so I figure Ill just do the expedition and then use that as my main save...
cant wait for someone to find a particularly badly infested planet after the expedition is over and name it smth like Klendathu
I should make a note to find an infested planet post-expedition to see if the regular (worm-based) infestations changed in any way with this update
won't stop doin my part till i get those damned minotaur parts!
Oops, missed this on experimental's notes.
- Fixed an issue with the 'Blood in the Water' milestone in the Liquidator's expedition.
what was the issue?
This reeks of CoD MW2
Well, looks like they fixed the fish.
Can I change the expedition difficulty?
#nms-expedition message
Possibly this
Wow, I wasn't expecting that I'd make a warehouse 13 reference today. Good for me.
I. Love. That. Show. 🥹
I think it's perpetually on normal
Just a small overlook base with Eutopia multi-tool, starship, building, Transporter, etc.
Out here...
oh lmfao, i did it the way they intended (was how i discovered alluring specimens and what they spawn/how they spawn the monstrosities)
You might be able to change some settings tho
Never played CoD
can change some of the settings, but cant change stuff that would affect the difficulty too much
the only real annoying issue i encountered was that i had to temporarily turn off multiplayer to get the walker milestone because the sentinels were ignoring me for some reason
Spawn killing frequent and overwhelming spawn killing
cant change fuel usage or purchases but can change the survival difficulty, tech damage , etc.
gonna play the expedition again from a main save now LOL
I was gonna continue the community milestone.. because flammenwerfer
Nothing against it when its done to npcs. But it is a good opportunity to remind people to double check their network settings and permissions in regards to pvp and griefing :P
I just saw it as super efficient. But if that's how CoD players operate, then I feel bad for them.
It's highly efficient. I approve
was about to copy my ship at the start of the expedition but discovered that the game automatically switched my ship upon claiming the last of the twitch drops
When it comes to pvp, I just don't see the appeal in fighting others.
was excited to test out the new gadgets i got for my living ship just to get struck by the worst hauler in existence
Yeah, whenever you claim a ship (regardless of source) it automatically becomes your active ship.
Evil aliens though... Exterminatus.
at least i got to copy my main multi-tool, and ended up upgrading it because of how many multi-tool expansion slots the expedition gives you
just keep in mind that those changes won't be reflected on your main save unless you copy it again when going back.
yeah, my first time doing an expedition so i'm gonna do that once im done with everything
keep in mind also that you can only copy the active multi tool and ship, so make sure that you have the ones you want to copy to your main equiped before you finish the expedition.
noted
Anything in other slots will be converted into nanites / cash bonuses
interesting
basically anything you don't transfer over will be converted into some sort of currency bonus
Can you contribute to the optional missions after you finished the expedition
By like going back into it
p2m2 not claiming: check if user has s-class tool equipped
not if you 'finish' it properly (in the anomaly terminal) - if you use the 'return to main save' button in the options menu, then you can go back and forth between expedition / main save I think - I've never done it myself.
There was a mention about "copying your ship" or "multi-tool" when it ends and converting back to a normal save. What does that mean? Also when it goes back to a normal save, if you started the expedition from the main menu instead of anomaly, what happens with the tutorial or quests aspect? Does it start from the beginning or are things already done or triggered? Also, I'm guessing you just start on a random planet like normal?
I just started a new save on Steam as I rebought NMS there (normally played on Xbox) but it seems like a lot of the things you get on this expedition are WAY better than what my start on Steam has currently. So considering just creating a new save with the expedition.
Maybe since this is a starter save it might make sense to just transfer to the expedition via the Anomaly? While I want a lot of the items you get that are just the expedition rewards I also see a lot of benefit, for me with all the things I could get as part of the expedition. I realize that the number of items is limited so there's that.
Just trying to weigh the pros/cons of doing one way vs another. And... now feeling like I'm over analyzing this too much. 😂
I did the terminal thing
Ok, if you started a new save already in expedition mode, then copying ships / MT doesn't apply to you. At the end of the expedition your expedition save will be converted into a normal mode save, keeping everything that you have at that point, and you'll start the main story just after the tutorial, which will be skipped (Tutorial includes: building your first base / installing first hyperdrive / making fuel / first warp / summoning the space anomaly). The rest of the main story is basically ALSO a very long tutorial so the aspects of gameplay not mentioned there, will be introduced gradually during the storyline.
@rocky kernel There's no need to overthink it tbh - if you started an expedition save (from the main menu, not from the anomaly) then you'll start the story way better geared than if you had started it in a normal mode save, and you're gonna have a generally easier and more comfortable time overall.
I haven't yet started an expedition save. It was a regular save and through awakenings and part of the other quests.
And thank you so much for the other answers. Very helpful.
Its a very decent way of being introduced to the game, and if you ever feel the need to go thru the tutorial once just to see what its like, you can have up to 15 saves at once, so you can just make a quick one to check out the tutorial later :P
Yeah, the tutorial was nice as a reminder for how things worked.
It's been a couple of years or so since I last played.
Ah, so you started from the anomaly? Then in that case you've already seen the entire tutorial once (the part that is skipped is up until the first time you summon the anomaly) - and in that case what carries over are the phase rewards, which are account unlocks, any items / techs that you insert into the anomaly terminal when finishing the expedition (there's a limited number of slots) and you'll have the option of making a copy of your currently equipped expedition ship and multi-tool in your main save at the cost of nanites, which you don't need to do immediately - the copy option will stay there up until the next expedition is released.
I just haven't done expeditions, that I can remember, so I have way too many questions about how they work. LOL Just don't want to get stuck in messing up things and not getting the awards and such for the expedition.
No, I've not yet started an Expedition at all. Just trying to understand how they work before I do.
Ah, ok, I think I recall that UI now for the copy in the anomaly.
Ah I see, you're trying to decide which option to go for before you start the expedition, then?
Right. A bunch say to not start with your main save, but given I've not gone far yet in my main save now wondering if I should use my main char or just convert an expedition char. Mainly as I've seen the rewards for upgrades are way better than what I currently have.
if you don't have a lot of progress in your existing save, its probably beneficial to start a new expedition save from the main menu and then convert it to a normal mode. You're gonna get a lot of nice quality-of-life bonuses (like a whole bunch of free inventory slots and things like that) which would be... difficult to transfer over, so your expedition save will probably end up better geared than your existing save.
It really depends on how much you've player and how far you've progressed in your existing save, I suppose.
Oh, so the slot count would convert back to what I had before the expedition?
With a regular save.
Nah it would be a second, separate save independent of the existing one (you can have up to 15 at once)
'expedition' is a game mode (like normal / creative / permadeath / etc) and at the end, it converts to normal mode
ok so im at a sentinel pillar, can i just save and quit then come back and the sentinels will be back?
yes
Is there a trick to find dissonant planets ?
Not really. Just go mousing over random stars in galaxy map until one says 'dissonant' - no ship upgrades necessary
!exptime
where can one find infestation alpha if you cant see the quest mark?
also, keep in mind that rendezvous 4 / dropzone 4 is a dissonant system, so you'll automatically find at least one just by following the expedition path
my friend left before he did infestation alpha and doesnt have the questmark anymore, what can he do?
@pine relic So i can transfer the rewards i want to a safe that i havent made yet?
Only the phase rewards - the cosmetics that are account wide unlocks.
So the expedition save is a totally separate save, even if I start with an existing character from normal mode and go to the expedition? And when it ends it is still a separate save? Does it put me back at the anomaly where I started the expedition or am I on the system where it ended the expedition? Guessing I can get back via portals in that case.
Oh or is it a separate save, but I can go back to my old save, go to the anomaly and I can see items I've "uploaded" to transfer back to that save?
do you know where we can find infestation alpha?
if the person that has lost track of it has a hazmat gauntlet, have 'em find a grub (its a red marker on visor - F on pc - may need to walk a bit to find one) and then use it on the planet where dropzone 1 is. That should make the marker for infestation alpha show up again.
if they don't have a hazmat gauntlet they may need to find someone to trade 'em a grub
whats a grub?
Well. That depends, there are two methods to start the expedition. One is by loading an existing save, going to the anomaly, and using the expedition terminal there. That creates a sort of sub-save within that save for the expedition. The other one is starting a brand new game already in expedition mode from the main menu (see pictures below) - that method will create a completely independent save file / character directly into the expedition, and at the end of the expedition, that save converts into a normal mode save with everything else as is.
Right, I meant more the first option, from the anomaly with an existing save/character.
whats the item i get from the grub called?
Right, with the anomaly option, after you finish the expedition (by using the same terminal that you used to start it in the anomaly) you'll be put back in the anomaly in the same system that you were in before you started the expedition. The only things that will transfer over will be the stuff that you put into the anomaly terminal, which has a limited number of slots, plus the option to copy the ship / multi-tool
Awesome, thank you!
It tells me to open the galaxy map and to find a system that has it ^^
and the phase rewards (not milestone rewards) that you claim are unlocked for the entire account regardless of how you started. Once you finish each phase of the expedition, the reward for that phase will be unlocked for the entire account.
have you been to dropzone 4 yet?
dropzone 4 is dissonant
yep
so now i need to comeback to the planet and find sentineskl ?
the planet will say "dissonant sentinels" when scanning it/hovering over it in the discoveries tab
Assuming you landed at the space station there, you can use a space station teleporter to go back to that system, which should be called Uooyiiji. You can find a suitable planet for killing corrupt sentinels there.
thx all 🙂
pretty short but fun expedition
Anyone know how one theoretically gets a visciousness rating of 12? Highest I could find was 11.2
in the dropzone 3 system should be a planet with a name telling you it has a 12.0
this planet, assuming no one renamed it
How are y'all doing those 3 deep monstrosities the water world's I find either are too shallow it just constant armoured clams/sulphite crystals
Alrighty, gotcha. I’ll need to warp back there, then
Just confirmed that Minotaur is the way to go with the vile brood mother, vaporized it💀
#nms-expedition message in the starter system. There's also a second suitable predator in the other planet in the same system, see pinned messages.
brood mother is honestly really easy with the pulse splitter as well
I was just surprised at how quickly I shredded right through it💀
If you wanna cheese it you can just kill 3 random fish, at least until the next patch comes out.
So anything I can scan? Not just the monstrosities?
Yep. As long as its an underwater creature of some sort it should count.
Thanks
That's getting fixed in the next patch apparently but for now that should work
How are people doing it legit then? Is there a guaranteed planet like with the dissonant and 12 aggressiveness
dropzone 4 has a dissonant planet, dropzone 3 has a 12.0 planet
I did it legit before even leaving the starter planet, it has a nice ocean for it, but it is time consuming to find a spot with the alluring specimens. You can find 'em with the visor, they're a distinctive red marker, but you gotta swim randomly until finding the things.
Thanks but not the answer I needed lol
I honestly think I’m just gonna deal with the sentinels last💀
any planet in the expedition with a large body of water should be spawning with alluring specimens
And 4 walkers!
i know that people are placing comm stations around areas with them
jokes on you i already had 2 of the walkers down
U know how many sentinels I have to go through to summon that amount?💀
Is there a way to turn off all those comm stations? sortof breaks the immersion for me and makes it a bit too easy to find some things. 😦
Haha yeah I'm aware Iust have just had trash rng 5/6 water planets all had very shallow water the other was mostly a pure planet but after 30 mins looking I saw nothing XD
nope, even in single player they are gonna be there. sure wish hg would take the hint and let them at least not autospam the messages
not that many
Ah, bummer, but thank you for the answer.
Walkers are summoned on the last wave every time right?
Yep
of regular (not corrupt) sentinels, yes
Better buckle up then I guess💀
ok he did that but it doesnt seem to have counted for the expedition
At least sentinels are everywhere to find easily
That hit four enemies with a single grenade is ROUGH
i remember there were like, 3 right outside dropzone 3, looked at the reddit this morning and they multiplied so much 😭
as long as they're not in a group, crushing the grub in inventory should make the icon for Infestation Alpha show up again. Also make sure that they have the right milestone selected.
If not you could just use some start charts to go to a building then a monolith to uncover ancient areas which have a graviton ball that's insta 3* sent lol
rlly funny thing, my minotaur did it for me while i was grinding out the dissonant sentinels
That saves 2 waves if you don't wanna do all
just saw a stream where someone did: find an area with several normal critters, toss a creature pellet and wait for 4 to gather round, use paralysis mortar on them; it worked
Normal Minotaur cannon?
I've tried it on the bug queens twice now the enemies never seem to bundle together for it
that's a lot of effort to avoid killing 5 sentinels which should take like, 20 seconds lol
yep, normal minotaur cannon, since it seems to do splash damage
Oh that’s right that ammo explodes on contact
now if you could skip 4 waves, that would be worth something
(at least on xbox) one of the planets in dropzone 3 got renamed to mention it had a 12.0, couldnt find it for the life of me until i saw something scurry along the ground, scanned it and got hit by it being named "THIS ONE!!! GRAHHH!!!"
Noted💀
I mean 2m units instantly as I started the game to buy oodles of chromium and a better ship for a ancient relic along with graviton balls to summon sentinels it's a 2in1 providing you needed that exact scenario then no it's not lol
Theoretically there are methods to skip straight to the walker: nexus missions for killing sentinels, and locating op centres with charts in aggressive sentinel planets.
Not worth it imo, but possible.
do the aggro sentinel op centers (or manufacturing facilities too I guess?) have walkers or mechs though?
towers have mechs i think
There a different kind only the large one with brains work
in aggro sentinel planets (red text) it should be a walker, not a mech, for at least one of the two.
I killed a few at those depot stations and didn't count
hm well it might be worth testing out at some point
yeah there's a difference between mechs and walkers
This was the trick, thank you
Man that still sucked though
Pick up a whispering egg and shoot the nest that pops up of void horrors
Won't need to make kibble and wait then lol
that's the other fast way, plasma launcher from a distance, spam spam until it pops
How easy is it to collect Nanites in this expedition? Since it's bugs can I farm eggs or whatever? I want my good ship at least.
I personally consider it faster to just kill the waves than go thru the effort of spamming a bunch of charts to try to find the right POI, but it should work as an alternative method that skips some of the combat
in theory
You get plenty from the in game rewards
it's easy enough: you got eggs to refine for nanites, upgrades you might not want (i.e. blaze javelin) to sell, etc
I got both gun and ship with none farmed nanites just from pods and what game givs
going through all 5 waves will also contribute more to the community milestone i think
Oh yeah those too that's how I got 90% of my nanites
Now I have more than I need lol
there's likely a daily cap, so it doesn't matter, just kill x hostiles and that's it
I did my part 🙂
I'm pretty sure there's a daily contribution cap per save so in most cases it won't contribute that much, unless the person didn't do any other combat that day
yup, caps at 50 i believe
50 monstrosities per player?
per day
50 monstrosities, sentinels or brood per save per day
(50 is a guess, I've also heard guesses of 100)
mostrosities/brood mothers/sentinels/corrupted sentinels, pretty much anything that can attack you back should count. Not sure if pirates count or not tho.
dont think pirates count, but they do feel a lot more frequent
check the combat level of the systems you're in....
Space combat in general might not contribute to it
So they make the whole expedition easy enough to complete in a few hours but the rest of the duration is to do 50 a day???
considering the expedition theme
well really it is "you did 50, other players will do 50, over the 6 weeks that should be enough with the number of players"
where "50" might be some other number but that's the idea
its mostly so that no lifers like me can't make the entire thing go super fast for everyone else
no obligation to come back day after day in other words
heard the number of bugs required to complete the milestone is somethin like 6 million
No I get it but why not just do an absurd number that does require the whole community Helldivers can achieve that
if there was no cap we'd probably see that completed in a day or 2 i feel
When can I summon the anomaly? I can't seem to
after the first warp
yeah remember how quickly it took the helldivers community to kill 2 billion terminids
Mostly because devs are really bad at gauging how long it will take a group of no lifers to complete content. MMOs have been banging their heads against that particular wall for the past 20 years.
well people play with mods too, lots to account for
Where am I supposed to come up with 4 million units for these microprocessors...
I got 2 things left in this expedition.
-
6,000 nanites
-
Kill 4 sentinel walkers
Damn it
I did my part
What was that amazon MMO that lasted for like a week? That one was a prime example lol
Exactly so make the number an unrealistic amount then closer to the time of completion if we nowhere near they could do a hotfix to reduce that mumber
the conquistador themed one.
when in hell do you need to get 4 million units
4 million units??? should not be. do you have some outrageously high difficulty settings or something?
new world?
Nanites just sell the mods from salvaged glass
yeah, that lol
That's a good idea
Oh I read it wrong nevermind. 138k
i think that one's jsut barely hanging on by a thread lol
Thought I'd have to run some dumb Nexus missions for that shit
same way you do it on a normal save
how hard is it to kill walkers using minotaur?
the devs BADLY misjudged how long it would take for people to complete all the content they had at launch...
I don't understand the 900 in one burst milestone. I get over 1000 before the mining laser overheats? Then the milesone help say "in one sweep"? What does that mean?
ok well. some salvaged data will take care of that in one or two buried tech nodes
in my case i did a lil Elite Dangerous and spent some time mining the asteroids outside the space station
its a bit confusing but more or less mine a bunch of things in a short amount of times did it for me
Time to find out lol
Use planetary charts to find a building that will lead you to "seek answers of the past) that will send you to a place to dig for a relic but also has graviton balls for instant 3* sent level. Not the most efficient but always guarenteed
cant be that hard
have enough stuff to mine around you that you can continuously mine, tapping once in a while to prevent overheating, until you have 900 (terrain manip does not count, nor does minotaur mining laser), that's it
I'm a bit over halfway to 6000. Always thought farming for nanites is a pain in the ass
select the milestone, recharge mining laser, go to an area with lots of rocks/trees/both, start going to town on the trees/rocks/whatever, and eventually the milestone will complete. You can take smallish breaks to avoid overheating. Its not that hard, but the math is way off - like it took me about 3k resources for the milestone to reach 900

See Pins
in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam
You fire your mining beam at anything you can mine up like rocks trees and bushes etc etc you need a combined total of 900 across all materials (200 carbon 300 ferrite dust 400 oxygen for example) whilst not letting go/pulsing the mining beam
So ig I am stuck in space. Was flying to the space station and my pulse drive ran out of fuel. I don't have any tritium and I can't find any nearby. Asteroids just give me silver, what should I do?
Yes it took me a few minutes to figure that shit out. It was annoying
can someone confirm that this expedition can be finished in under 8 hours?
Keep shooting asteroids
3K? vs 900. That is "new" math I've never heard of. Sheesh.
I have 2 things left. I can check my timer real quick lmao
dunno, but if you have the milestone selected you can watch the counter in lower right, that's best
I don't see any 
Oh yes I'm sure
I think the problem is that there's some sort of cap of how many resources/second will count towards the milestone so you end up with way more materials than you'd expect
I do, and I watch it. It counts way less than the normal game display does.
easy way to attract sentinels?
(sorry discord borking my reply)
several players finished in 4, 5 hours
a bit over 4ish hours for me, I've heard several people claiming 3, 3.5h.
thats hours played, not real life hours - in real life hours for me it was more like 8, 9 but the difference was spent alt-tabbed to discord lol
ah, good to know. Thanks to both of you, i'll probably do the exp when there's only 2 days left lmao
see you guys later
Ok. I will try again with short cool off periods. I even got the optical drill and put it on a supercharged slot so that I get +88% resources and still couldn't doit.
if there is a cap, the drill is counterproductive
The main thing to keep in mind is to have the milestone selected so you can see the number going up on the bottom right of the screen instead of relying on the looted resource conter on the top right
I am king of strangenes' friend. i tried again after leaving the group. the jucy grun just spawns a vile brood. it does not give me a new quest marker
Got it.
exit-save-reload and try that again? (now that you are in single player)
weird. Do you have the milestone selected? Did you try reloading the save and then using the grub? If all that fails, try flying to the space station then coming back to the planet and see if that makes the marker show up.
i have the milestone pinned. is that the same as selected?
Yep.
as long as the tooltip for it shows in lower right, you are good
It should be. Make sure that the milestone is also selected in your log, not just the expedition screen.
If you have a different mission selected in the log page, that could take priority and hide the icon
it is selected in the log tab to
it curently looks like this
but i have no marker for the infestation site
Anyone else having connection issues with multiplayer today? Can’t upload discoveries for the expedition.
yep, that should be fine then
So... is the expedition safe to play from main save?
dropzone 3 (system Rudoin-Blosa) has a planet named, and I'm not kidding, "HAS A 12.0 APEX PREDATOR- MANTIS LOOKIN"
am i able to bring my multitool and companions with me from the expedition?
cant bring companions, can copy multi-tool to the expedition save with nanites
Yeah, the problem is that the marker is created when you interact with the terminal in the dropzone (dropzone 1 in your case), and if for some reason you reload your save or leave the system after that, the marker vanishes even if you have the right stuff selected in your menus. For some unknown reason, using a grub and killing the brood mother makes the icon show up again for most people, but it seems like its not working for you, maybe because of multiplayer getting in the way of it. I would suggest quitting to main menu and reloading to make sure that everything is clear before using a grub and see if that gets things moving again.
on XBOX btw
wait then how do i bring that expedition companion?
what companion
at the end of the current expedition you get a bug companion
@mental rock Also, double-check that the dropzone 1 milestone is completed for you. I don't think the marker will show up if it isnt.
How do you do the “Purged By Fire” option missions?
o ok
community milestone, everyone contributes, cap of 50 kills per day
not sure the specifics but I know you can also choose to copy over to your main save the MT you had equipped in the expedition save
Ok thanks for the help appreciate it
I cannot "unsummon" the minotaur can I? What am I supposed to do, leave him here? I need to move on. But it's like leaving a pet behind
cannot unsummon
can someone else steal it?
no
ty
you can leave it there and then summon it elsewhere as needed. If it bothers you to leave it behind you can always summon it back to its summoning station / geobay to teleport it to the platform there, presumably in one of your bases.
ok thanks I'll just summon it out of the way somewhere in the wild 😄
I used it to purge one of the sites
One of the convenient features of exocraft is that they can be moved for free via summoning :P let me know if you need the details of where you can summon exocraft, there are a bunch of rules for it lol. :P
like, it needs to be summoned in the system where the station is?
Anyone got any tips on the viciousness estimate step
For example, if they're already spawned in a planet, they can always be summoned anywhere else in that planet regardless of other factors. So one strategy is to build a summoning station, summon the thing, then dismantle the summoning station for a full refund of materials, then when you need to summon it in a different planet, build the station again there, etc. :P All of this can be skipped if you have the exocraft materializer room installed in a freighter, which allows you to summon it in any system where the freighter is already parked, making exocraft way more convenient, but that is unlikely during expeditions :P
Anyone know the name of the planet the creature with the 12.0Pav is on?
get freighter->get orbital exocraft materialiser->no need for stations
for normal gameplay
ty, and with dismantling you mean just delete through the build menu right
there's one there. first dropzone system, planet might have changed names since yesterday but it's this one
yep. Just delete the base part itself using the Z menu and you should get the materials back (or the summoning station item itself in the case of the expedition reward)
Got it! Thank u! I was not about to waste several hours looking for a needle in a very large haystack💀
The third or the fourth dropzone system has a planet renamed to " predetaor something something" where you can find one to. Just not sure if it's the third or fourth
also i like the mission with a 505 quicksilver reward. i see what you did there
third, System: Rudoin-Blosa
dropzone 3, not sure what its called on other platforms but is called on xbox "HAS A 12.0 APEX PREDATOR- MANTIS LOOKIN"
nokotan 👍
the bot might be temporarily indisposed, it happens sometimes :P
oofie
i tried quiting to the main menu before using another grub but the marker still dosn't show up. the dropzone one milestone is completed. do you have any other sugestions for what i can try?
Nothing comes to mind. Try asking in #nms-questions and make sure to mention that there's a possibility that trying to do it in a group may have messed things up a bit, the folks over there are better with that sort of troubleshooting.
ok, i will try that. Thanks for the help
I’m in the dropzone 3 system on switch but ODS is offline so planet’s are all basic names, and they dont match the names people are giving. Do you know what biome the planet is?
irradiated planet, bottom right
weird, none of the planets here are irradiated
¯_(ツ)_/¯
The "Infestation Alpha" milestone is bugged out and I can't complete it even after interacting with the terminal, is there anything I can do to fix it?
try reloading the game
Just did
Switch to a multi-tool that isn’t s-class, if that’s what youre using
just finished iron giants wooo
whats the system name for dropzone 3? im already past it and cant find it anymore
pinned, Rudoin-Blosa
using the default multi-tool the expedition started me with
if you go to a space station you should be able teleport to it
in the teleporter it'll have, in brackets, "(rendezvous 3)"
thank you
elaborate on can't complete - did you mean can't claim?
My dropzone 3 is called Sangju
thank you, worked!
interesting, dont know much about expeditions but i was thinking that there are multiple different expedition routes
I mean it still says: "Purge the nearby infestation"
known "issue" - different names popping for diff players but, pause, discoveries, is connection to online discovery servicse active?
so its still the same system?
I've triggered several waves of monstrosities and killed them, took an egg, and tried to pull out a nearby grub
Nope.
done everything I could think of
what systems you warp to, if you have to make multiple warps to get to a rdv system, those aren't, not everyone will pick the same systems
uhm guys, is there a possibility to build a pilot interdace during the expedtion? (or find one?)
Found a pretty dope Sentinel ship
that's most likely why, you're seeing the default system name, not renamed
what do you mean? what's your goal
i see
do you have multiplayer enabled
repair & keep the crashed ship? And then later keep it to my main save
yeah
yes, I'll try disabling that now
bk201 on the multitasking grind
iirc you can choose to copy over your chosen ship after the expedition is finished? idk
but you should absolutely be able to build the interface
exactly
well, from the ship you take out the trash e.g. salvaged glass, and the hyaline brain - then you select the right mission in your Log tab, then you find 3 radiant shards and 1 inverted mirror, then you probe subconscious, then you goto monolith, to get harmonic brain, then return to ship to complete repair on pilot interface
there isnt an irradiated planet in the system
save+reload from main menu would be my reocmmendation
idk how to help in that case
same for me, “bottom-right” planet is a volcano planet i think
top! Thanks 🙏🏼
ok can we collect the big golden final phase reward without losing out on the community rewards?
or do i need to just let that linger
as long as you **do not end the expedition by using the anomaly terminal **
didn't work unfortunately, going to try leaving the expedition and coming back to it using the anomaly terminal
make sure you dont end the expedition by accident
someone mentioned an apex predator in dropzone 1?
that might have to be the last thing I try, if this doesnt work
its so weird seeing the box on the left of my screen constantly filled with people doing stuff
im so used to how loney the game felt, especially in that weird bit of time between 5.0 releasing on pc/ps but not xbox or switch
Nope, nothings worked, the stupid milestone is just totally broken, I have to restart the whole expedition over. Fantastic.
I am so furious
that doesn't make losing a couple hours of progress any less frustrating
Does anyone know what is going on with my Glyphs?! I am in a new Expedition save and the gluphs are gone!
I had in a different save the Glyphs unlocked. On this one they are gone!
well yeah its a new save
How exactly do you do this?
Regarding "Fat of the land": i just went into a cave with dense clusters of unidentified stalagmites and stalagtites and mined them while the quest step was active, at 900 cobalt the quest step triggered, might work with other resources as well
glyphs dont transfer between saves unless im wrong
scan animals on planets
Check the pin message here
Someone marked a planet with them. Hell if I see one 😛
Why do I have tue feeling I wanna start the Expedition all over again in a Older save!
i think HG disabled building comm stations around the dropzones
I had to take a break it was driving me nuts hahah
update: Went to go for a radiant shard..we don‘t have the advanced mining laser in that expedition 😂
got my 500 quicksilver wooo
iron giants done :)
Guys, I am on Phase 3, should I restart the expedition by using an Older save?
No no.. I mean if I use a new save and I am on Phase 3, can I continue it on the Older save rather than the New save?
dont think so no
unlock it, anomaly
Alright, reaching the third rendezvous point, with me luck soldiers 🫡 (I forgot what the liquidators call us)
since it would be creating a new expedition save
isnt it obvious? helldivers!
Vanguard
Oh duh
completed the spare ribs milestone, omw to sell all my rancid meat now
Thanks
Wish me luck my helldivers! 🫡
(Lmao so true it’s like Helldivers 😂)
do the progress stay as is if i switch back to main save?
on xbox there's a planet on the expedition path named "best of luck Helldiver!" 😂
i‘m so dumb. Right!
I just have the feeling I wanna start over again with an Older save.
But wait, do I lose my reward if I start again?
didnt stop me from starting a permadeath save lol
got stranded on my way to the space station from the last infestation site, looks like im going back to mining!
how hard is the last site?
i flew in, realised i had no ammo, flew out and the brood mother despawned and didnt respawn
so basically ez gg no re
how do i get those other bug cosmetic heads?
Haha
my ammo situation without even crafting any
had a near constant 10k ammo, make sure you restock every now and then!
this is my last site :)
pure curisity, if i finish expedition n14 do i get the rewards for the past expedition aswell or i lost them?
you get the expedition 14 rewards from expedition 14
so what bout the old one?
you can get those when that expedition comes back around
Bro I feel like I need some sort of reward for how many biological horrors I’ve been slaying — not even part of the expedition requirements just because they spawn freaking everywhere lol
how on earth do i complete this?
if we all do our part, 50 bugs a day, we will soon be compensated
pin the milestone and you'll get a marker
Sentinels are pissing me off and fuck the walkers
i used the minotaur for both
Last one I need now is 4 walkers
use the minotaur
Roger that. They'd still piss me off. Lol
you're also given a pulse spitter i think, amazing weapon
understand, ty
should i come back every day to kill bugs or can i continue my main save?
There are four that you can unlock outside the expedition by justing fight vile queens on your main.
oh really?
huh
thats easy
how many though
OR you could do your part and contribute to getting everyone a sick ass minotaur modset
my counter is stuck at 50 :D
4
rinse and repeat till september
so i found and scanned this thing but it didnt give me the milestone
mk thanks!
can teleport to phase 4's system in any space station teleporter
Can't use the main save for expeditions?
no
can use your main save character, MT and ship but cant use your main save
Im doing MY part!!
a shame it caps out at 50 😭
i love this game, but the ammpiutn of bugs it has is insane, cant get rewards
Can you do main story missions using the save in the expedition
// GLASS GLASS GLASS GLASS GLASS GLASS …
would be slaughterin bugs all day
have you tried clearing your inventory
Anyone playing on steam deck?
I’m so rusty - I’ve forgotten all the controls from my switch days
practicly emtpy
what 50 a day or 50 a save???
How do I use thrusters in space again…?
50 a day
my game literally isnt recording any fauna records
the whole page is empty
the mission marker say i got a record of N/A
who the hell got 1% on part 2 of the community milestone
How do I mine 900 resources in 1 go? I doesn't seem to work
Can you do main story missions using the save in the expedition
Sorry just curious
go to a dense cluster of resources, mine 'em all
Or can you use the new items on your main saveeeeee
Does it need to be done with a terrain manipultaor?
Use the minotaur cannon non stop and aim at rocks or plants
Ty!
Plus I think slto start the Expedition over again. In an Older save. I need some more rescources.
so if you have 3 saves you can kill 50 a save a day?
whats the easiest way to do the fire in the hole mission
visit one of the outpost... land at the out side..than walk to that building until the horror critters pop up.. greet them with a granade
ok thanks
or shoot an egg then fire a grenade at the group that come out the ground
make some food, put it down for animals, wait then blastem all
any idea how long the optional missions will take? a week?
whats the easiest way to locate abandoned buildings
beeblebum said Sean Murry has tweeted we have killed 6million bugs, we need to kill 250million

How much of what I make/find in expedition do I get to keep in main save?
can i transfer egg from expedition to main save?
Whatever you put in the inventory box before transferring over, all Units, Quick silver, and Nanites auto transfer

Whats the command for the rewards?
Soni can just keep cloning my ship with nanites and scrapping it then pocket the cash?
🫡
Yeah ig
that's me but just with biological horrors 😨
Oh god
whoah whoah whoah - what?
you clone your current ship before you end the expedition :)
if you want to keep it that is
ik that, but how would I scrap it and clone again?
I can just clone, scrap, and it will give me a new ship to clone and scrap?
I cloned mine twice and I have two of them in exp
Go to space station and scap the ship, then go to anomaly again and reclone it, it lets you clone more then once
thank you! Aw man, I got a super super cool creature
so i can bring the unhatched egg back to main?
No, you will have another waiting for you in the rewards shop
SMART
sweet :)
Yeah Reward Creatures are in the Quick silver Shop waiting for you to redeem them the moment you get to your main save
burn the memory of evil out of the rancid meat? i gotta cook this stuff don't I?
as long as i dont end my expedition?
yes
Rewards shop in main save is unaffected if you end the expedition or not, as long as you complete the milestones that reward you the item then you will get it in your main save
i did
If the milestones are complete then your main save has some gifts waiting to be redeemed
and how does the egg sequencer even work :D
You use chemicals to modify the Eggs of a creature to change their Attitude, Size, Color, and Appearance
I read that creatures can sometimes help you fight?
565 sentinels killed so far in expedition....
anyone else having issues with their portable refiners? i tried to make one, now anytime i press anything it spams them duplication/usability/ui bug
You're definitely doing your part!
I've got 47, lol. Is it possible to check how many biological horrors I've killed?
maybe, not sure
i dont think it counts more than the first 50
15%
ugh
just something i noticed since the kill counter doesnt progress past 50
Depends on their Aggression
and part two is 2% for some reason
ah okay
and definitely not me wanting the mech flamethrower
Also, we still have 6 weeks left, so we are chilling
what did you expect, its been like a day since the expedition released, and the you're capped to 50 kills per day
rlly?
haha
6 weeks, 50 kills a day
lame
Do we know what we get from the community expedition?
mecch reskin
liquidator minotaur parts
and upgrades
