You can do main story stuff by ending the expedition early or waiting it out, which will convert it into a regular save on a separate file or put you back into your main save on a file where you transferred into the expedition.
yeah i understand that much but if i end the expedition i wont be able to get the rewards free so id have to give up the free rewards in order to do the autophage quest or just wait the rewards out first which will take the next five weeks or so
Just used the minotaur mining laser to get it thanks for the tip!
Which bit of the autophage content do you want? I can't think of anything specific that would be overly-useful for clearing this expedition's goals...
for the drip
Ahh, that makes sense.😂
can we bring more than 1 ship out of an expedition?
nothing actually important i just wanted to access the autophage content at all but i cant do that because of the expedition its fine i was just hoping that i could find some workaround
I don't think so.
sup fellas
is the current expedition in a regular galaxy or fresh stuff like adrift
regular (euclid)
Regular, but tons ofplanets got terrain & graphical improvements & overhauls, so you'll still see tons of new stuff.
ohh, so that pandora looking one from the trailer is a expedition destination?
It's just one of the regular planets now.😂
first planet is like that
ye im aware of the revamps, just that at least sometimes planets in trailers are actually the ones we get when in exps
That said, I'd love to have a planet with trees we could climb up into.
Like, actual Avatar stuff.
would be interesting
heck yeah!
Maybe Light No Fire will have a place like that somewhere on its planet?
any specific resources that are advised to help speed up some milestone
like cooking or such
u could bring some runaway mould for easy nanites
Can you run the expedition a second time?
Got it. Thanks.
How do i transfer items from expedition to regular save when i complete?
seeing now, quite solid list
do the reverse when you put them in
same spot
Yes but honestly I brought nothing and was just fine! It's not like last expedition where you're scrapping for just enough oxygen to survive
I started a new save for expedition
Didnt know i could stsrt from anomaly till after i started new
if its a brand new save then you cant transfer items
😢
How i get S tier upgrades for jetpack and multitool then???
My jetpack op in expedition
Just keep on keepin' on
you mean on your main?
I guess ill have to decide. I like my main tho, its already got 24 hours or so on it so i dont really wanna trash it. Idk
Plus i got a freighter worth 101 million idk how good that is for the free one
Its a capital one
to put into perspective that's about 2 expeditions if you don't race through
you'll find plenty of great upgrades on your travels dont worry
B class tho
if you hang in the anomaly there are people that usually have way too much currency and such, could help you out
Ok ill just finish expedition obj then continue on main save
My main save is in the 300 hours 👀
My xbox one was at 200 but i was a huge noob
Im almost caught up already i feel like
fair 😆 😆
Got a S class ship from a random that landed on a planet too 🤯
I couldnt believe it
ohhh heck yeah
Cost me all but 1 mil of money
I got some pretty neat rare S ships I'll never use but they're pretty in my hangar lol
I like hunting sunken ships on water worlds
The one thing the Nautilon is good for, imo
yes!! And now that I can land on water <rubs hands together with glee>
The trick is not losing your original ship lol
Is friend shaped
do it appear randomly? should we attack if if we see it spawn?
There are a bunch around the first world you start on. I couldn't hurt it with my weapons but i've killed something like it on my main save previously, so I assume my weapons were just garbage maybe?
^ this is the clear answer here
What’s community progress
All the bugs... I'm doing my part! 
We must all do our part!
i`m struggling with the walker part, either it stop to spawn, or never escalate high enought
I had one bug out for me like that where it wouldn't escalate
It was near a biological horror spawn if that helps... maybe try away from them if you've only done it near their spawn points
oh, my last place had horor spawn too
Yeah I'd say go to a sentinel heavy planet away from horrors and just pick a fight
So this is my first expedition and would like to do it without making a second character - when is the best time to begin? For context I just found the Anomaly today
If you're comfortable enough with gameplay hop on in now!
You can start it anytime but it wouldn't hurt to familiarize yourself more with the gameplay of NMS before heading in
but you can swap in and out of the expedition anytime
Expeditions rely a BIT on prior knowledge, but I think this one is less so than others and you'll get some quick upgrades
Plus with the expedition being new there are lots of people here to ask questions to
id say maybe hop in after u learn about hyperdrive?
Yeah good call
I’m feeling pretty comfortable, but I’m glad to hear you can dip in and out of the expedition
I'd say you don't have much to lose by hopping right in, and a lot to gain
This isn't a super punishing expedition like some others
Last one was a little more survival focused. This one is a bit more cake-walky with more combat
But they give you the weapons you need to survive, so that's nice
The first expedition you do is always a little messy but you learn a lot.
anyone know how to make sentenals agressive again?
steal gravitino balls, shoot stuff when theyre near u, go to planets that say "Aggressive Sentinels" when u scan from space
i mean after killing them and getting the passive thing
ohhh
i already did all that
ok
or go to another planet
fair nuff
If you want to keep killing sentinels, don't kill the last sentinel. Run into a building, wait it out, then run out and shoot the biggest one you see in the face.
next time, (assuming your doing the 4 walkers milestone) kill the walker but leave one of the smaller ones alive. run away until the coast is clear and start over. repeat.
is there any strategy for hitting 4 enemies with one grenade?
spawncamp biological horrors
they usually spawn at the same point by those beacons at outposts
I got it from stealing a whispering egg. When the horrors spawn out of that spot, I shot a paralysis mortar and got a bunch of them
mmm
ty both
ez enough
and where do I find alluring specimens for deep sea monstrosities?
deep sea basically
but if you mine resources underwater you can spawn jellyfish and killing those also counts
nice
ty
I forgot, is there other ways to find a monolith other than using scanner of an exocraft?
nvm, can use signal booster too according to wiki
It's kind of cheating in reverse but a sentinel ship brain will send you that way.
i have one and that is why i need to go to monolith so i can finish repairing sentinel interceptor 🙂
nope does not do anything when i use the brain to find a monolith
You can buy a map of alien cartographic data. But sometimes those lead you to other things, too. I think it’s hit and miss. I’ve used two and it took me to Vykeen plaques. But supposedly they could lead to a monolith.
victory on my end, but i wont give up the fight, ill do my part! even though i have turned into a bug monstrosity
at least you can still count on me to kill sentenals
My friend and I did a nexus mission to build an underwater outpost. There was a sunken ship right next to it. I’m not sure where we were though. But maybe keep an eye out for those missions from the nexus to find a good planet with deep water.
ty!! At this point I have quite a stable of them, and being able to land on water is a game changer!
does this still work in the current expedition 14? I have the iron vulture from the QS shop rewards.
If you set the current objective to pacifying the brain then use the scanner it should point you in the right direction
what happens with companions we may end up with during the expedition after we leave? i found a cool looking fauna that i wouldn't mind keeping around
It worked because the Vulture was your expedition ship, the expedition was ongoing, and you could clone that back to the main save for a nanites price, junk it, repeat.
In that sense if you pay nanites in the expedition to import your main save current ship, you can then clone it back to the main save and junk it for more nanites. All you need is a free ship slot, a fist full of nanites and a menagerie of cool ships
i totally didnt know this
omg me neither
SO DO THE NEXUS BUG MISSIONS.LOL(random bug genocide just not good enough)
Weird, so the tooltip with your "Individual kills" is misleading? Bigger whiff than usual from HG if so
does anyone know if one of the planet in the drop zone got storm crystal? (trying to repair my minotaur...)
I deffo didn't. Use this to get a bunch of maxed out x-class mods, or parts for the iron vulture. Or replicating starhip trails
Not at all
is there a way to find a sentinel ship on a dissident planet, I had one, was only missing 1 part to repair, i had to go to another system to get some stuff,, came back and i no longer have a marker for it 😦
Check your logs page it should have the mission there
it was not a mission i think
Click on it to set as active mission and it should give you the icon again
ok goin back in game, had got out to see if reloading would fix this
it shows on the galaxy map
For a second i thought you had the same name as the interceptor lol
Is anyone online familiar with visiting previous expeditions on pc?
ok thanx, i just spent hours faffing about to try and get that ship 🙂
They can't be accessed once over but HG usually reruns a few at the end of the year
Ok I'm not sure nexus is correct.it reads like any bugs count toward community goals
https://www.nomanssky.com/worlds-part-i-update/
still need to find a monolith, so i built an exocraft with all of the scanner upgrade, i thought there was a way to select what u want to scan for
I think there's a way involving changing your expedition folder to a previous one but I wanted to see if anyone was familiar with it?
There are no nexus specific liquidator missions. The vile brood nexus missions were out before the expedition even dropped. Whoever made the comment was just making stuff up
i think i remember being able to choose what to scan for, but i don't remember how
can we get the walker from the dissonant sentinel?
no
Like the Minotaur or the giant one?
the one for the quest
no, dissonant sentinels don't incllude a walker in their waves, you'll need regular sentinels for that.
I should probably fact check first lol
Collect 900 resources in one burst?
there is, in the quick menu you can scan using the radar if it has all the upgrades, and you can select one of several different things to scan
oh, ok thank u 🙂
find an area with a bunch of plants close together, mine them all, tap/release to keep the mining beam from overheating, watch the counter in the lower right (with the milestone pinned), that is your true indicator, and as long as it continues to increase, you are good. I found that the plants near cave entrances (they look like round rocks kind of) on the starter word were great for this, plus I got loads of carbon to start off with, very helpful.
if you are long gone from the starter world, you could try finding a fungalmould world, those usually have very dense flora, or a cave with lots of cobalt mineral growths close together, those would work too
wiki says to get a harmonic brain i have to present a hyaline brain to monolith I'm there but I do not get an option to do that, any clue?
I went to the fire planet on the 3rd route I think, that worked p well. And it let me keep overheating it and I still got the achievement
Any tips for mission underwater phase 4, I swam put my visor to detect for the monster but no idea, but it shows I killed one, is that the regular animal ? Or specific monster?
it does not mention a name?
No it doesn’t
it`ll look like a regular resource, but it's a monster in hiding
Only says here aluring specimen, but can’t find it using scanner
is this the 'blood in the water' milestone? if so, you need to look for "alluring specimens", these are marked by ared icon with a white orb in them, and you do need to go to those spots specifically, look for the glowing orbs right by the marker, harvest those (they give hadal cores) until the hostile is revealed, and then shoot shoot shoot 🙂
is there even any point in upgrading this further.. i'm basically walking artillery now
up to you, maybe there are more supercharged slots, or other tech you want to put in there
can i keep the multi tool after the exp is over?
Oh ok thanks for the clue and thanks @ebon urchin
yea u can make a copy in your main save
here's the icon https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/nomanssky_gamepedia/images/5/53/PICKUP.HAZARDCLAM.png/revision/latest?cb=20211127144318 and you might need to move around to deeper water to find them, if you have the aqua jets then that's easy
they are monster in disguise frist
I believe there is a mod, I know it exists, but that is all I know. It may not be up-to-date.
How do we harvest 900 resources in one burst? Geology Cannon?
I changed my expedition folder back to one and completed every milestone. I just want to make sure I'll get the rewards when I go online and it'll save😅
Thank you!
Do I got aqua jet? Not sure but sounds interesting
Anyone remember the name of the first system? lol
pinned in here with all the system names!
you get these as a reward from the Independent Action milestone in phase 4 (save at waypoint by 6 buildings)
note that these need to be actual buildings, where biohorrors spawn in, not the naked waypoints you often see
finally got my interceptor, the directions to repair it are flawed, it says to severe the link to pugnium, then it is supposed to tell you to link to brain, but i had to remove everything from the repair window to get the brain popup
yes, that's what you do is collect all the junk first
Are the online services working for switch?
Do you guys keep playing on expedition characters? Or return to a normal save?
ods has been flaky for everybody these past couple of days, regardless of platform
when I get near to the end I should just wait as comm goals? or can you finish but nto end exped?
Thanks, I was starting to worry it was my switch lol
right now i will play on expedition to help out the community research. after that i normally delete the expedition saves since my main is at an end game level
but others may want to stay on their expedition saves if its more advanced than their main
@naive oceanCna you finish all the objectives and stay in the expedition to help?
just don't claim all the rewards, leave one
this, if u started a brand new save for the expedition ^
My problem with Expeditions is they so fast-track you it really screws over normal progression
Pretty much
Thats why alot of people make new saves, and then make them their new playthrough after
||Is the pet stuck at the "young" age?|| End of expedition reward spoilers
did we do any community goals yet?
||had it for a couple days now and it hasn't aged at all||
About 50% of the way to the first one last i saw
It's slowed down significantly
typically companions can take a week or longer to age up
Man breeders have it rough then
We still gonna complete it you think?
I've heard HG will change the amount we need to kill once we hit stage 2
But we have a month
Probably will make it
I think we gained what...3% today?
I think this is just a sign that these Community Goals are held up by like 1-2% of players who give the event their all. But this time they were limited to 150 kills/day AND theres still a large % of players that probably don't even contribute
It's me, I don't contribute
I killed a lot but just farming endless kills gets boring, went back to my main save
It's not like the fights are different in expedition, it would be easier to justify the absurd kill requirement if it put us in some kind of multiplayer lobby to fight waves in a defensible location or something
or even a capture the flag kind of situation
Remove killcap
Give me infinite waves of sentinels with a few other people
And i will be happy
Other people are optional
if they remove the kill cap, a few users with mods will complete all the milestones in a day.
how do i find walkers? do I just start sentinel fights and they come out eventually?
Kill cap should be raised to 1000 then. 150 is way too low.
well thats new. my base was eaten by respawning terrain while i was in it
ah, space station mission "killing creatures" count horrors as well ...
It should work yes
I got 6 keys from the Ancient Ruins but there was only one large crate??? What do I do with the excess keys? Sell them?
Sell, or save them for another ruin and unlock the chest without having to dig around for keys
so i'm done all 5 phases but i'd like to help with the community goal...i'm presuming i have to stick around in the expedition and can't leave in order to do that right? and if i do leave....do i still get to claim any rewards that the community gets to?
when you're in multi-player in a group does it mess with completing challenges? My buddy has scanned 3 apex predators now and it hasn't popped for him but the first one worked for me
Yes
in pause menu in options you can click return to primary save
whoops ping was off
@cold adder
I recommend not doing anything important in a group (story missions, expedition, etc)
i'm doing the expedition on my primary save, but i did forget that i could always return to it through the terminus lol
yea
well, no
expedition uses half a separated save to do it
so it does return to primary save being your non-expedition save you started the expedition on
but yea terminus
Oh well, creating a base on a planet with both primary and expedition character confuses the game in my case 😂
nytips for nanites
If I end the expedition can I no longer contribute to murder goals?
Easy to farm in the expedition with all the whispering eggs
Or sentinel killing spree. Glass > upgrade module > sell for nanites
But in general:
-
Whispering eggs - these refine to 50 nanites each and do it super fast. Horrors are honestly a non-factor, they mostly run around. Ignore them and pop eggs with a NC or scatter blaster to make it faster, hold E to spam pick them up. If you get surrounded, jetpack out and run to the next cluster.
-
Runaway mould can be farmed in large quantities from Curious Specimens. Put a save beacon near a cluster and it will respawn after you go 700+u away. These refine SUPER SLOWLY so get a ton and then dump them in a freighter refiner or something, come back in 20+ mins.
-
Dissonant planets, farm corrupted sentinels for glass like @granite ridge said, and farm Interceptor ships to salvage as they will give nanites and units.
-
Find and outlaw system and buy suspicious packages, open and sell upgrades for nanites, repeat.
anybody know planet with snow blizzard with low sentinel activity or no sentinel at all?
u can salavage interceptor ships for nanites??
I got 25k+ nanites in the expedition without really trying, just doing thw things above when convenient
when salvaged they may drop ship upgrades
hmm. what do they mean with the mission harvest 900 ressources in one burst? with mininglaser, terrainmanipulator or what?
Yep, keep beam active until 900 got collected
Im in phase 4 mission snow blind mission
oh, i only have 17u missing there
Iirc I made it with minotaur bore on soil
anyone know which planet? this sentinel activity really annoying
snow blind mission can be done on any world with storms at all, no need to be extreme storms. just walk around whn a storm is active, collecting resources or doing whatever. but walk/run, not jetpack
thanks, no jetpack?
do not jetpack for this mission, walk or run only
doesn't matter. any storm will do, I think I did mine on a toxic world for example
yep.
anyone know how to build container in this expedition? is it available ?
Unlock the tech in the anomaly (between ship and exosuit merchant)
gotcha, thanks
just gotta farm salvaged data as usual
can multitool be transferred from expedition save to main save?
oh wait nevermind i did NOT use the terminal for this 😭
if you had, you could have got a copy of the active expd ship and mt back to the main save for nanites....
where can i submit my salvaged data in anomaly?
go to the 'construction research terminal'; if you go to the circular area with all the upgrade vendors, it's the terminal halfway around the left side, with no npc standing at it. (on the right side is the one with the tech blueprints for nanites, directly across the way)
thank you
I didn't even look are the community claim optional requirements worth waiting for?
no one has them yet; they are probably fun things to get; we'll all be able to get them for quicksilver regardless; up to you what you want to do
good to know as I ended the expedition lol
For the walking mission
Sitting on a pet and then running and or flying works too...worked for me....
huh so pet transport works too? fun
For fat of the land ...idk if it's bugged but it ALLOWED me to just collect the resources and still got completed...even with multiple bursts
it works with multiple bursts as long as there's not too long a gap in between those bursts, and that is intended
I simply suggest to use your the bot laser much better...
you want the beam still active and not to cool down all the way to 'off' when letting it cool down
eh I got it mining the carbon plants at a cave entrance on the starter planet, before even leaving the surface. needed the carbon...
Hi, I'm new to the game and I can't figure out how to start the expedition stuff
Do I have to finish the story first or what am I supposed to do?
I got it in a storm for ferrite dust....i mined all the critters lying around
you can start the expd from your existing save if you have been to the anomaly on that save, by going to the anomaly to the special terminal for that. or you can start the expedition from the main menu on a new save, it's up to you.
I've played 12 hours already, so I'll do it on that save
Where is it at the anomaly?
there's a terminal behind the nexus, to the left of the quicksilver vendor
Behind the mission nexus terminal left side of quicksilver shop
Thank you, I'll go there now
Look in middle
The green one?
Yes...that location marker
Okay
I hope you've got a lot of time on your hand, cause they're gonna fly by real quick
goodnight nms chat
hi huys i need some help.. rn im doing the fauna 12pav task
and no matter what i scan it comes out as N/A
is there anyway to fix this??
two questions: have you scanned the eel on the starter world and if so, what happened? and, do you have ods (online discovery services) active?
ive scanned more than 13 planets and the thing should at least give me a minimum pav of what i have scanned but to matter what its always N/A
also how to check if thats active??
go to the discovery tab, look on the lower left to see what it says about ods
ohh offline?
do i reboot my game and steam to restart it or is there a button in settings??
is it? mmm. I see. next question, are the worlds where you scan things showing up as discovered by you?
no most say others
anbd multiplayer is on
i see people moving and talking in chat
there's not a setting or a button, the servers have been unstable for a couple days
ohh :/
oh, multiplayer will not help you here, you might be getting data from other players in your lobby. mmmm
so the eel in the water on the starter planet and the stegoaurus-loooking thing on the other planet in that system, both are predators that "should" work for that milestone
if you have scanned both of them and neither registered, there's maybe one or two more in the pins, if those don't wrok you'll have to just do general epxloration and hope (have the milestone pinned though).... and report to hg
it might be that when things are more stable, all of that will automatically get sorted out, I don't know
yeah i saw another one on the same phase 3 system on imsby minor its above 12 pav BIG bug looking thing and worked last time. did it a few days ago XD
i guess i gotta put that on hold?? this is the second time i replayed it cuz of a bug hahaha :/ big sad
how to report the problem tho??
You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
THANK YOUUUU
I got lucky and the eel worked on the first planet, but ods was working then too
I got mine from a standard predator while scanning animals.
oh shoot ... everyone dissapeared i dont see ppl now only flying ships
yeah the servers are going crazy i guesss hahaha
lol it happens.. going crazy is more common then people think.. lol
sad.. well fingers crosed they get this fixed b4 this exped ends... id be sad if i couldnt get the items T-T
also what was the first planet??/ just to mark it to remmebr the ell thing
all the system names and drop planets/starter planet are pinned in here with names and all the good info
Oh God why did they have to start it with a space abyssal horror floating above my head
ohhh on the pinned!!! THANKYOUUUU hahaha still new to this thing
what the progress on community research milestones?
dunno, ods wasn't working for me last time I looked, so no good current progress info
hey, question to all of you real quick. does anyone know a dissonant system named riemann, close to the route of expedition 14?
reachable with the standart drive.
why do you need this specific system
I don't know that specific system. I went to Amayon xviii which has a barren world Aenuscan Prime in it, which is dissonant, it was on my route
that system has a sentinel fighter i really like, and i dont have the glyphs
yeah sorry, no idea
well, good luck, finding a system only by it's name is extremly difficult
no. someone posted screenshots of a sentinel fighter on a nms discord, with the planetary coordinates, but without the portal adress. just the info, yeah, the system is called riemann and is reachable without having to get upgraded warp drives.
and close to expedition 14
if they didn't post a pic of the galaxy map with the ly distant from some drop zone system, there's no easy way to find it
I finished everything but the harvest in 900 in one burst lol...where is a good spot?
any spot with a lot of resources close together. could be a cave with lots of cobalt things next to each other, a fungal mould world with lotsof dense flora, a set of metal fingers, etc
well this planet isn't meant for that then
on the starter world I found those rock-like carbon plants near a cave entrance because there are lots right next to each other, and mined all those
you can tap and release briefly to keep from overheating; make sure the beam is fully charged before starting
I didn't have any mining beam upgrades or optical drill or anything, hrm
you could tryputting the mining beam in a supercharged slot for a minute and see if that helps with fuel efficiency
If you have a Minotaur .. use that mining tool
is anyone else (who finished the expedition) having this really strange glitch where the bug companion makes (loud) explosion noises every time it moves, or is it just me?
Have you tried a cold planet? Keeps the multitool cool longer
someone clarify - if i start the expedition directly from my main save do i get more rewards back on my main save???
god, when you have to lure in these deepsea monsters, you cant find any, but when yu just want to explore the ocean in peace, hell no. you get absolutly swarmed by them.
yes, any items you don't ship back over via the anomaly terminal are converted to units/nanites which then transfer to the main save
ohhh
i started this current 1 just from the main menu cus i figured that was the only or best way to do it
each approach has its pros and cons
any ideas how i can find these monsters of the deep? cause i cant seem to find any going only by the games discription.
scan for a red icon with a white orb in it ("alluring specimen"), you might want to be in deep water but once you have the aqua jets for the ship, that's easy. when you find one, go to it, there will be glowing orbs, harvest them until the horror (a monster fish) bursts out, kill it
never mind. i had a bit of a different view on what counts as a monster of the deep. i had something like the reapers from subnautica in mind.
oh. no it's specifically those things
subnautica mentioned
yeah, done with those now.
they might be a jump scare the first time you encounter them, if you don't know what's coming. but they aren't all that beefy
nah, honestly, they were kinda cute.
this is what game says to kill but you can kill any fish in epxedtion and it will work
Lol i damn near screamed when i first found one
Was in a tunnel and low on oxygen
Trying to kill that while also looking for that oxygen plant thing was wild
While it might make them easier to find, I think ultimately a world where the killer fish was silent and the oxygen plants screamed at you would be both more dangerous and far more annoying.
OK, made it to phase 4 but I've never fought sentinels on the ground past wave 3 without running like a rat from a combine harvester. Any tips for taking on the Predogtors and the walkers after, for the Walker milestone? I've already learned "Don't do it in the middle of a fire storm" and "don't do it while also fighting off a swarm" .
- Upgrade your gun. You can use any weapon, my favourite is the Pulsespitter.
- Deal with the small sentinels first including the repair sentiels
- You can install a shield to prevent taking damage
- Use large objects/buildings/ships to dodge projectiles
- Go for the critical spots
- paralasys gun also works great on dogs, they freeze enemies in place
For walkers :
Find a nice spot at daylight ... use your Minotaur if available... after you got down the first walker .. save and reload
- Don't have a lot of low-class upgrades. Apparently sentinels get stronger based on the number of upgrades you have, not the class of upgrades you have.
- Get yourself a weapon type you prefer to use and upgrade that well
- Use something physical to block them at times. Like a base you built specifically for this
So I could dump a room with 4 corridors and 4 doors down, then keep taking pot-shots and running into it if things get hairy? That's the kind of brave cowardice I can get behind, thanks!
When you go inside buildings enemies loose track of you, so if you stay inside too long (or when the wave is over) it might do some weird stuff like resetting your progress. I would advise running around the building
I've never been very good at walker hunting, I think I'll skip that part
Imma just keep squishing tha bugs
The big eels in the oceans of the start planet also count toward this one
Would anyone like to join me and do some of the expedition together? I’ve just got back into nms so just started a fresh if anyone else is in a similar situation then all are welcome, need some new gamer friends
Don't have to be so complex, just diggy diggy hole
Works against sentinels, works against storms, works against Atlas himself
in your hole you are safe
except sometimes from the dogs
I think fighting sentinals standing on the top of the pillar is easiest. Having the Minotaur AI running around on the ground makes it a useful helper.
!tier
@blazing fossil
we at 50
Thanks for the tips, will see how I get on later.
Any switch players playing hand-held have issues since the patch dropped with joy-con responsiveness? I've had quite a few moments - usually during swarm fights - where one or other stick stops responding, and sometimes with buttons not responding, but exiting to the home menu there's no corresponding issue there.
(It might just be that I'm gripping too tightly and causing a chassis bend and slight breaks in the joycon rail connection or something, reseating usually resolves but it's not an issue I've had with any other game.)
switch has many problems, but i dont know about this on as i always play on TV with pro controller
Is everybody doing their part here??? I've been flying around and checking up on players and I've noticed very little pest control going on out there. I'd like to get the optional rewards in this lifetime please. I may have to start sneaking up on players and spawning them vile critters...
Maybe if you did your part of pest control instead of flying around looking for other players?
;P
I've crushed a couple grub here and there
Fantastic points being made.
every day i killed 5 Stacks of rotten felsh
You can do better than that surely?
Someone said more than 500 per person would not count
what is the actual max number for each player per day? i heard 50, 100, 150...
150
ok then i make lot more then i need thx for info
source is #nms-expedition message (maxUserDailyContribution)
source is trust me bro 😂
Brilliant. Thanks for this.
That should actually probably be pinned for now
by one who can pin, yeah (I cannot)
#nms-expedition message showed the following image.
It implies 150 kills per day per player, with 50 000 000 kills for each tier.
I can't quite get the kill numbers to add up with the percentages for each tier shown in-game, though.
As when T1 was at 47% it showed T2 at 33%, T3 at 19%, and T4 at 5%.
could someone help me with the sentinel walker missions? i just cant get them done.
How do you get tier?
contributionLevels
What?
Then it won't work, there are probably too few people helping...
Bro, I do not know how get all five tiers in nms
You haven't heard of exponential increase, have you?
???
200.000.000 for all 150/day and player i dont think we have so mutch aktive players
Can someone tell me HOW TO GET ALL 5 TIERS IN NMS DO I DO NEXUS MISSIONS?
how many days 60?
Have they fixed the ported expedition world not allowing you to complete the aggression rating milestone yet?
After 5 days we're at 50% of the first tier, there's a total of 6 weeks for the expedition, more people join over time.
We have plenty of time.
after 10 days phase 1 and we are god in time
ok we have day 5 and 50% i think
But if the number of players drops now, things will look bad in the end.
what was the command for expedition progress
If I make a business in the expedition, and used all blueprints using nanites will it carry over to my main save once the expedition is over
"base" not business lol
use !tier in #bot-spam
If you're in game is ODS working ... bottom left of Discoveries tab?
nope
that's probably why the command isn't working either then
Site is super slow returning anything
Even when ODS is up
They are having issues, wondering if it's anything to do with MS as they use that azure cloud
Those tiers are community milestone missions. They're a group effort. There is no way to max those tiers yourself, you'll have to wait.
I finished the expedition, and now I need to wait for the milestone to catch up. They set the goals a little high no?
Maybe, but it is 6 weeks long.. Not sure why they would want to finish those in the first few days
Gotta give others the chance to do their part, no?
I'm considering doing a separate save this time. Since there's nothing really cool to bring back. Then I can just jump back in without messing around with switching modes...
Fair enough but I really believe that if you finish your part you should at least be able to claim the reward. Oh and it should let you progress the other tiers even if the community isn't cought up.
Fair
thats kinda whats happening though
progressing through part 1 is also giving us progress through part 2, 3, etc
It says 50 and counting but who knows how much they want us to kill for the other tiers. If the progress slows down and we get down to the last few days or mins imagine if stage 5 personal contribution is like kill 1,000 but you took a break to wait and you got like 300 kills that would suck if you can't reach it in time due to life.
150 per day is the cap
It's apparent they estimated the tiers for a six week long progress.
Also, this isn't going to go as fast as the tiers in Omega. That had a lot of extra new players due to the free weekends.
50 and counting just means you're eligible for the minotaur part
Your part, as is mine and everybody elses is to do 150 a day until we get the liquidator mech suit. We got this bro.
Yes. 50 is just the minimum needed to claim the reward.
For each tier?
HG will likely manipulate the numbers if we dont make it
for tier 1 at least
Yeah that's what I'm worried about.
whats the problem
I know the community will make it but I'm more worried about personal contribution requirements.
if the cap is 150 per day they're not gonna make you grind out 1k kills lol
Yeah that was just an example number.
What specifically are you worried about?
folks who don't play the expedition will be able to pay quicksilver for the items, one way or another you'll get them, don't worry, be happy!
Someone made a rather interesting observation regarding the Tier progress ... #nms-expedition message which would explain why tiers 2 and above also have a % figure.
People are just getting antsy because the reward is pretty cool and they want it.
This
we have several weeks to go. go shoot some bugs if you're feeling twitchy
Just what the contribution numbers are for personal level but if the cap is 150 then I don't think it will be that bad.
Yes, it's an overall total we are going for
Currently 250000000
Bugs take too long. I'm going to set up a Pilgrim to scan for abandoned buildings and just swipe eggs 24/7.
Eaxactly right. 20-25 minutes a day. A small sacrifice to pay.
Here's me... dropping 6 hours
Shame there's a daily cap, but I get it. They want it to be an actual community effort. Not just a small team of determined veterans.
I love the design of the queens. I think it's cuz they resemble Banelings from Starcraft.
not a few jokers with mods (because you know that would happen)
Are they supposed to drop anything every single one I've killed has dropped not a single thing.
not in the expedition, they will drop things in normal gameplay (not always, it's a chance)
Ahhhh I see.
Ty!
My traveler has been converted into a full blow parasite.
some players may not have appreciated it. that's the sort of thing where you should ask
Confirmed. I had all 4 helms drop within 12 queen battles on main.
With a menagerie of bug like pet to boot.
I'm sorry they drophats?
Count me in.....
Do we have a fashion section here? I'm in the mood to show off.
#nms-photomode-gallery maybe
I don't know that you are at a level in the discord where you can post there yet though
Familar
Are her helmets exclusive to the anomaly or can they traveler class wear them too?
Noted ty.
If the community task is not completed, are the rewards lost forever?
prob not
I expect hg is keeping an eye on things so that we can get all the tiers done before the expedition ends
yeah
From #nms-expedition message it appears that it is 50 million kills per tier datamined.
150 per day per player
I did some head math.
And my math level is like 4th grade.
That's what, 8k players would need to do it daily
Probably incorrect but I'm not going to fix it.
Since that's all the energy I was willing to invest in it lol
Doesn't feel right still.
Gallery is open at any level, restriction there is just that it's in photomode and from in-game.
250 million during 40 days, 6.25 million/day, 41.667 players gaining 150/day
memory like a rusty steel sieve, thanks for correcting
Yeah I mathed for 50m and not the full thing lol
How to I find the grubs? Is it a mission or do I just go to a planet with a vile brood?
go to a vile brood planet
enter a planet with vile brood
look around for "juicy grub" with the visor
How do I complete the first optional mission?
Community wide, you can't do it alone
Oh k
Ohhhhh that explains it
150 kills per day is counted, so come back to do your part every day
Cuz I been exterminating these monstrosities and vile brood for 2 hours alr
Wait so until we complete the last option None of the optionals will be marked as complete?
Should be 50 million kills total and the first optional will be complete
Its pretty fun
Imma just continue with the expedition
Is the multitool special? Like as in say a limited ship or so
Is part 1 almost done yet?
50+ percent is done
so where can i find an 'alluring specimens'
under water
Not sure if the bug is still in place, but beybe any aquatic creature kill still counts
Can i scan for it? I found nothing after scanning random seas
Visor, not scan
It can be located with the Analysis Visor by looking for the PICKUP.HAZARDCLAM icon.
oh i found two thanks
any idea how to the optional milestone of first phase of expedition?
It's a community wide goal
50 million kills for the first tier
And each person can contribute up to 150 kills per day
visor, look for "alluring specimen", red icon
I think I was simply unlucky (x)
ok thanks for info mate
Suggestions for how to do "The Fat of the Land" objective? 900 resources in one burst
find a large cluster of mono-resource nodes, like a bunch of plants full of carbon, and mine them all in pulses. Pin the task so you can see the counter, it's not the same as the regular report on how many resources you've gathered.
If you're still on Planet #1, it's got lots of carbon node clusters in caves, and oxygen plant clusters above ground.
you dont need to keep your beam on, just make sure you are always getting resources
When you end your expedition and turn the save into a normal save, do all of the intro tutorials etc for NPC start turning up like for the farmer etc?
I found those "organic rocks" and gathering one of those gave me the fat of the land objective
Guess it doesn't work with Silicate Powder then...did just that
Ah yeah, I guess it might need the mining laser
I found gold and uranium Metal Fingers on a planet and when mined it gave me over 1000 uranium and gold in 1 burst.
Cheers, I'll see what I can find!
Also having supercharged optical drill will help you immensely
that gives you +88% resources mined with mining beam
Why would you do that ... if you end the expedition you won't be able to claim the optional rewards once they're completed ... so you'd have to buy them for QuickSilver if you wanted them. Best leave the save alone until the expedition ends so you can claim whatever optionals are completed when it ends.
would you guys recommend I progress a main save up to anomaly unlocking before playing expedition?
Up to you .. I always start a new save, as the rewards for the expedition are available to any save once you've completed it anyway.
If you want to play the Expedition from your main save, you need access to the Anomaly and it's Expedition console. If not - nah - just start and convert the Expedition save to regular when it's done, and you'll have a bunch of good stuff
okie - but I won't be able to summon the anomaly throughout expedition right?
you can after the first jump I think.
you will be able to once you warp once
really? even if I have never done so on my game?
bonus points if you manage to get 2.6k Nanites to grab ur ship from the main save
u need 6k nanites for one of the objecticves anyways
nvm the ship copying if u didn't start expedition from a reg save
I spent 1400 nanites getting the Starborn Runner 😉
If you start the Expedition as a new save, it's stand alone so you have to be able to access the Anomaly independently. If you start from your main, you already have anomaly access because that's how you started the expedition. Either way you're good.
take 100 suspicious packets (weapons) with you ... this are enough nanites if opened and sold at the exo technican....
ok - so after I turn the expedition save into my main save (after completing it) the story will just continue (even though anomaly is unlocked later in story)?
Yeah. I started my Main in Utopia. If you really want you could go back with a separate save to see the tiny amount of exposition you missed, but you won't need to
You can only start the expedition from your main save IF you already have access to the Anomaly ... if you don't yet have access then progress the Artemis questline a little more
nah Idc about exposition as I've already completed the story on switch
If you play handheld, please let me know if you have any issues with joycon controls freezing while playing, I've been having issues since 5.0 dropped that don't impact other games, but it might just be that my switch's case is starting to buckle under stress 😄
No longer on switch - on Steam Deck now. sorry to hear about ur joycon issues dude
Bro has a deathgrip on his switch while playing
In my defense, I didn't watch the promo video and was not expecting that humongous mother-bug 😉
Was it hard to beat one handed?
I said promo ! What did you read???
Cuz in my case it was ez, then again, I copied my maxxed pulse spitter from main
I mean hey, I don't judge, ||the exterminator we follow sure didn't||
I mean, the brood mother DOES have a big juicy rear that she predominantly uses to attack you...
can we bring regular stuff from the expedition back to the regular game , like multitool expansion slot upgrade we loot or other cool upgrade?
If i end the expedition now can i still get the liquidator mech set? I have a ton of quicksilver to get it later or should i just wait
I'm not ending it yet. I'm asking what happens when I do.
Just finished the expedition. What do now? I’ve never ever finished the base game. I tend to get bored without any direction so
kill
Squish bugs!
make number on ship/freighter/multitool go up
NMS is probably the worst game you could play if you get bored without directions
Where can I see those eye things again?
random encounter
I want to kill them
the space eyes are only there on the starter planet
!tier
50% tier 1
Is gunter fried again
seems like it
@tepid grove
WHAT
what reward
Yup it's broken
The community service
If you do part of it yes
For each tier you have to kill 50 of the things yourself to get the reward
it's unlocked for everyone in the quicksilver store once its respective tier is completed
oh i thought you needed to do the tier
or is it just to have it on that save
without buying
Im starting the expedition today. First time starting with prior save.
Question: Will the ship I take be in my inventory or do I have to go to the space Anatomy to get it. The ship is from a prior expedition.
to buy the entire thing with quicksilver would run you around 7.2k
Space anomaly
anomaly
It's hardish to explain.
- Finish the warp milestone
- Summon anomaly
- Save 1.4K-1.5K Nanites
- Go to the Expedition computer
- Click copy ship
OR
- Go to Quicksilver vendor
- Click claim expedition rewards
- Claim the ship you want from expeditions if you earned any
For this one I claimed the Iron Vulture
Most people I saw claimed the Starborn Runner
also to add to 6) don't forget to have 1400 nanites to claim a ship from a previous expedition
That was in step 3
sorry guys, can you explain to me how to complete the optional objectives of the fourteenth expedition? I've shot down many more than 50 hatched,sentinels, etc
its a community goal ... so you'll have to wait until everyone does their part
So I have to take the ship they give me to go get the ship I put in my inventory? Right? Just making sure
You can keep going to speed it up, however you don't need to do anything yourself
I, personally will be helping, not that it'll speed up more
It'll be in the summon ship menu thing I believe
Do you already know how to summon your ship
So you've seen an icon that shows multiple ships, correct?
Thats where the ship would be
in that menu
returned to my main save and there's a giant version of my nomad floating in space 🙃
I'm bad at explaining
Im not there yet... just checking on things before I leave ...reason is I wanted to make sure I didn't need to take fuel cuz the ship I am putting in my inventory is a sentinel ship
Wait really
not kidding
screenshot? :o
gimme a sec
How long has the expedition been going for so far?
less than a week.
nearly a week i think
ok thanks guys, sorry for the inconvenience. I'll still keep beating them for fun.
The Vulture is my current favorite, the Speeder is number 2
Sentinels need to screw off istg
Or they shouldn't aggro when fighting a brood mother
If they're giving you trouble, shut them down before facing the bug queenie
I spent like the first 15 of my start breaking asteroids so I could always have fuel for the pulse
I think the expedition makes enemies weaker so its easier
It’s actually pretty fun
Pyrite works even mo bettah
I think it’s a take on helldivers
Duh
As much atlantideum and pugneum as we are getting, it can be easily converted
Yeah
More like Starship Troopers ;P
But this time, Sao Paulo is intact 🙂
What is this "Sao Paulo" you speak of?
Maybe the wrong name - the city from ST that the meteors destroyed?
Is there a counter or something that we can look at to see where our daily kills stand?
merc guild counts your overall sentinel and bug kills but nothin like that
what is the community reward level up to now?
The best I found to use is their loot
What was it again... you can kill masses of enemies but only 150 are counted per day. That's how i understood it. I don't know... i started this expedition last friday and damn that progress is slow...
Ok, thanks.
yeah thats right
#nms-expedition message talking about what other people have found, with image and link to previous discussion
Think it was Buenos Aires. But for all we know the Bugs were aiming for Sao Paulo and those racist clickfaced motherfathers can't tell the difference! Burn 'em all!
The community reward progress is moving so slowly that I'm starting to worry that we're going to miss the rewards
dude its 6 weeks
No need, we've never missed a community reward
we've also got 6 weeks to get it..
Closer to 5 weeks now, I think
I think I’m at the second drop zone
Is there a UI in game that shows the total biological horror kill count? I think I saw someone show a photo but not finding it.
What percent are we at?
50% to first tier
less than a week
Which according to datamined information would be about 25 million kills. Because each tier is 50 million kills more, from the datamined information
Then we will probably be fine
Ah just found it under mercenary guild.
What I think will happen
More content creators will make videos on I
It
And then people will see it and do the event
We only need working kill counters
feel free to suggest it
implies nms content creators have a big enough fanbase of people who arent already doing the expedition

Time to purge a nest
I began the expedition yesterday and encountered some kind of bug. Today, when I launched the game, I received all the rewards except for the community challenge ones.

ods seems to be down on xbox
ODS is dead.
No wonder it's taking so long, we're being rate limited
taken out back and shot
Yeah, otherwise someone would've cheated it to completion already
At least raise the limit to something reasonable like 500
Second nest is done
imagine if we left them to multiply in peace 😛
This was written by a bug
Now I gotta find stupid sentinels
I know but if everyone finishes the expedition in a day and goes back to their main game then participation might drop off so much in 6 weeks that we don't get the rewards
Just keep pushing people to do their part every day, simple
I was grinding silver missions and liquidated 200ish monsters. will those (150) count towards the community challenge?
there is usually a large number of players who rush to get it done near the end
As long as it was on the expedition save
that will help hopefully
!tier
hg is used to this, they've done it several times now. have a little faith 🙂
@fleet meadow
ods.
should i end the expedition or wait for the community challenge?
I'm sorry, what?? 0% research??
Continue killing 150 each day
you should wait
servers fucked
ods down = no reliable report from the tier command
ODS is down
what is ods
Oh, okay. Whew. Thought they reset it for sone reason...

Over Dis Stupidity.😂
I have a problem and need help. I was at the drop zone to take out broodmotjer and I tried for the 4 in one shot milestone but didn’t get it after she died, I reloaded thinking I could try again but she didn’t respawn from restore point and now the ingestion site will not start again but the milestone is not completed. It’s not marking another site and this one won’t work. Any help appreciated.
do i go back to my old save from options>save data> return to primary save?
But seriously, I hope OSD come back soon.
Iwanna rename my planets so badly.
try to get a juicy grub, save-reload, crush the grub, see if you get a marker for the infestation site then... I think that is the usual workaround (someone please correct me if that's not quite right)
The liquidator vanguard gives me MAJOR Helldivers vibes
i mean yeah its a very clear inspiration
its like watching space balls and going "getting major star wars vibes"
I've seen so many Helldivers references in the communication stations people put at the rendezvous points
wait a few minutes, then run around. they might not spawn in instantly. you could also use a planetary chart for secure facilities and go to one of those, guaranteed to have them
You don't need to use the broodmother for the 4 hits with 1 grenade milestone, so don't worry.
Tons of the little horrors will continue popping up at various sites you visit, even those unrelated to the expedition, so just keep exploring & lobbing plasma grenades.
You'll get the milestone eventually.
Oh ok
Playing Helldivers "Wow, this gives me major Starship Troopers vibes for some reason."
hit the nail on the head
playing Deltarune "Wow, this gives me major Undertale vibes for some reason."
Is it possible to transfer items from an expedition to a main save?
Yes, at the end of the expedition
Yes.
What limitations, if any, are there?
Okay sure. But my problem now is not that milestone but that the drop zone milestone is highlighted and not complete but it won’t mark another site and this one will not clear because the brood mother won’t spawn here only biological horrors.
It’s like it bugged out (lol) when I restored from restore point.
You can't send things like multitools, ships, etc. If it fits in your inventory it can go to the expedition afaik
Maybe go pick up a juicy grub, bring it back there and squish it from your inventory, see if the bug mother that comes after you triggers the milestone?
And sending it from the expedition at the end?
Okay I’ll try that.
Do your part citizen
Idk I've only ever looked at the menu for going in
you can send back farmed materials, there are separate slots for tech. You can't bring back pets/eggs. You can use Nanites to clone the current Multitool and Ship from the Expedition back to the main save.
Have you tried warping away from the system, closing then reopening the game, then returning to the drop zone?
That's the only thing I can think of that might work.
Make sure to leave a save beacon behind at the drop zone just in case.
Heh! You guys are experience this for the first time, correct?
And is this through the Anomaly terminal? At what point does this become active before the save is shut down?
First time I've seen the bot command return that result, yeah.
I've been through more than one expedition, though.😂
I haven't completed the expedition yet to know what type of missions are there but if there aren't any mission in the expedition that depend on these community goals it will be alright. HG completes them when the time is up.
I'm pleased that this expedition didn't reset my character's appearance.
yes ,the anomaly terminal. You can send stuff back when you get to the end of the expedition, but you don't have to end the expedition - you can load up the console, revert to your regular save (via the options menu, not the console), pull all your stuff out and clone the ship and tool, then revert back to the Expedition (as long as it's open) and keep Doing Your Part.
This has happened to me once before in another expedition. Gunter checks the HG servers directly to produce the results, so whatever is displayed here is what HG server is actually doing.
If it says 0% it is literally 0%
yeah and if those servers are unreachable/broken then.... we'll get 0
so they could be tweaking the numbers? 🤞
Iirc, as soon as the community goal is fully completed [or you end it early], and you turn it in, it will let you go to the terminal to transfer stuff.
and ods right now is in fact 👎 so....
So don't worry, we will be have this community goal completed when the time is up. That will be in August when the expedition ends.

oh, yeah, but in August though.
It still does if you start it on a new save; expeditions started through the terminal on the anomaly always carry over the character appearance from its save-of-origin.
hg has done several expeditions with community goals, they always make it work out
Let's eradicate those Terminids Vile Brood!
Try Starship Troopers
how is the progress of the community goals?
I don't think we've even reached goal one
50% iirc
The devs put a 150 kill caps I think
Right now?
It's a Secret to Everybody.
wasnt it 50% last night
*per day
Unfortunately true
Correct.
i remeber hearing the goal was like 6.5 million or smth
that was how many bugs we had killed in total at the time
not how many we had to kill
what was the goal then?
50 million ive heard
That makes me want to become iteration # 2
i feel like if we know the ammoun t we have done we could estimate the amount left
Yo anyone can check the progress of the optional quest?
Oh that’s a great idea. I’ll try that. Didn’t drop a save beacon, had already flown away, but I’ll try warping out.
the last I saw was 46% so it's likely a bit more than that. anyways, don't fuss about it, just go whack some bugs and have a good time
#nms-expedition message shows the target for T1 being 50 million kills
We need at least a 200 kill cap per day, if they want a collective 50 million score.😂
Thanks you mate
The Adrift Expedition reset my appearance despite being started from my primary save, and I couldn't access my Eye of Korvax helmet.
So for T5 it's 250 million kills
can you pick up the appearance items from the quicksilver vendor?
Well that's odd; I've never had that issue.
Maybe it's got something to do with items that are locked behind other expeditions or quests?
I was able to pick up items from other expeditions from vendor but I started new save for this one
i heard they were gonna decrease it once we reach the first goal
The Adrift Expedition was a bit unique in that all NPCs were disabled.
From where? ;P
cant remeber
rumours. just do your part and don't worry. it'll work out.
A dream?
i think it was here
Yeah, we definitely need a higher kill cap per day if the total is even higher with each tier.
I think my previous 200 ststement was a low-ball at this point.😂
what?
It is a Quicksilver purchase, but that reset didn't happen this expedition fortunately.
What happens at the end of the expedition? Like what happens to all the stuff I collect and units earned and whatever?
Some stuff you can transfer. The rest is converted to units & nanites for you & given to your main save.
Assuming you started the expedition from the console in the anomaly.
Was ingame earlier and it was at 50%. For the community task
Yeah i started from the anomaly 🙂
I just got off and it was at 50%
I can't find any sentinels. On the rare chance that I do, it says they're searching, I can't find them, and they despawn
Then yeah, you'll be allowed to choose some valuables to transfer over & the rest will get converted to currency.
Only 50 kills counting per person is crazy low I feel
ah ods active for a hot second! 50%.
That's a bit better I guess
If you started a new save, it gets converted to a normal save.
If you started from an existing save, your units, nanites, and quicksilver get sent back to your main save. You can choose a selection of technologies and items to send back to your main save, everything else is automatically sold for units and nanites which are transferred to your main save.
Your current ship and multi-tool when you end the expedition can be cloned in your main save from the Expedition Terminal in exchange for nanites.
That's what I'm saying!
Though technically the cap is 150 & the game just doesn't tell you that, I still feel 150 is way too low.
Of course, I'm basing this off of how slowly the progress bar was moving.
More people join over time, meaning it exponentially goes up in speed
If there would be no kill limit. Players would complete all goals in 2 weeks xd
Exponentials are often hard to understand for people, though
Worse, someone would've cheated it the first day
Some already did
I want a explorer ship badly
Thanks! My multi tool in the expedition is crazy good damage compared to my main save tool. Don't think I could go back
not exponentially and speed would only increase if early players keep on doing their part
The one time I actually need to find and kill sentinels they are nowhere to be found lol
I feel like an expedition connected to a brand-new MAJOR update should have a LOT more people joining in & doing the community goal right from the start, instead of later, but given how slowly it progressed? That doesn't seem to be the case.
that's what I'm sayin
Uh, since the community goal is just at 50% to first tier, then no. They may have cheated it to unlock for themselves, but I was talking about them cheating it so it would've been unlocked for everyone if there was no limit per day per person
sorry that it is in German but currently ingame
A lot of people don't start expeditions ASAP anyway. And a lot of people even join in the last week/days
By the way
When I’m looking for the grub
What am I looking for when scanning planets
Vile Brood, I assume
Alright
That's the case for normal expeditions, though.
This one's connected to the Worlds update, which brought back a lot of players.
There's a difference in scope here.
And a lot of people would then want to play their main save to experience the update first
get a secure site map from station and go smash open the doors, etc?
Unfortunately that did not work. I see the star system from the galaxy map with the drop zone icon and when I go there, no planet is marked. Since I already claimed the drop zone 3 and the next thing is the site that drop zone 3 marks for ingestion gamma milestone, I have no place to go to complete that one. Does this mean my expedition is over since I can’t complete that milestone now?
my partner had a similar issue where the DZ milestone said it completed but did not - she had to go back to DZ console and interact with it again to trigger it (listen/read the log again)
Get a map to a secure site, or one to some ruins, open them on an aggressive sentinels planet.
Then find a gravitino ball at the ruins or smash open the door at the secure site.
Gravy.
Agreed -- Kill em all!!
I had the same problem. I was advised to collect a live maggot and squash it, this solved the problem and I was able to continue.
Awesome, thanks. I’ll look out for that. 🍻
Okay I’ll try that now…
just be ready for a fight 🙂
Nah, it just means someone else will have a solution, or that a patch will be forthcoming to fix this issue, so be patient & remember to report this as a bug if you haven't already, & keep asking around in the help thread.😎👍
Hi everyone - I'm on PS5 and having an issue where no matter what I do, I cannot see anyone on the Nexus. I'm in the system for the third event in the expedition.
I have tried turning all settings on network on, off, shutting down the PS5, restarting, etc.
Did you squash o. The same planet that the drop zone was on? If so can you tell me which planet because I didn’t note that and now don’t remember. 😉
I have not reported it, how do I do that?
And thank you!
Not sure it matters - but DZ3 is on ||Ubun 93/M7||
Zen desk
Gunter usually pops up with info on how to do this kinda stuff, but I dunno the command to summon him for this.😅
Thank you.

This would be good to pin, along with how to pin the Biological Horror stats as a "quest" so you can see if you got the 150 for the day. It can be found in the Mercenaries Guild UI listed as "Horrors Eliminated". If you click on it you can pin it in game and then see what your count is for the day.
Do we know when a "day" starts and ends? Guessing every 24 hours after the start of the beginning of the expedition, but wanted to be sure I don't start my "day" too early and don't contribute my 150 for the day.
I had the problem in phase 5 quest 6 with infestation Omega at meeting point 5 on || Malitette XIII in the Iuquan system||
Given it started at and ends at 2pm BST, I'm guessing 2pm BST.
Guessing the same, but wondered if someone datamined to see.
But get up, kill 150, have lunch, kill 150, after dinner take a walk to contemplate the wonder of existence and then kill 150. Just to be sure. Do Your Part!
Bliss gave me this information and it helped: OT I see. There's a bug that makes the quest marker disappear if you reload your game after interacting with the dropzone terminal, but before clearing the infestation. If that happened to you, selecting the infestation milestone and then crushing a grub while on the planet should make the marker appear again.
How many people can be in a party just out of curiosity?
what is the best way to get fire in the hole? i’m having so much trouble trying to do it
lolol built a little dissonant planet base, took potshots at corrupt sentinel drones from the doorway, never letting the level get above 2. 32 sentinels: check. 32 corrupt sentinels: check. hilarious...
Ah, yeah, if you don't shoot the spawners it should not be too difficult to get the sentinels one.
well because the corrupt drones count for both types.... bam
Nice.
walkers are left, think I'll do something amusing for that too. it will take some setup btu then I'll have a base other people can use to get to a walker instantly (if all goes well)
that's tomorrow though.
I discovered that if you have a settlement (the little town where you can manage it, etc.) and have a building under construction - the biological horror events tend to spawn them all inside the little walls of the construction site and they take a little bit to get out - great time to jetpack up and lob a plasma launcher shot inside
how did you guys do this?
oh
okay i’ll go make a settlement
other than that - just land at any waypoint and lob the plasma launcher shot at the little antenna/save point right away when the horror event spawns
abandoned building, spam an egg spot a few times with the plasma launcher from a bit aways, gets the horrors as they spawn in as a group.
that too
whenever you land at a building with the save beacon thing - they spawn around the beacon, so you can just lob a nade in there when they're coming out of the ground and Pop - achievement completed
i’ve been trying that but the grenade always bounces away and ends up hitting nothing lol
aw dang, I just spammed it like 3 times and got it right away. hrm
fire at the ground a bit in front of the beacon so it rolls to the beacon
I had to remove the other weapon that uses the same button press for the plasma launcher. Can't recall what it is called right now but it stops them from moving.
I couldn't figure out how to swap between those two weapons for some reason.
controller is B/circle to cycle secondary but only when on a primary that allows secondary (terrain manipulator has its own secondary)
Ah, I'll check that out next time I'm playing. TY
I had found a guard pillar and placed a small base there. Then I fought the guards up to the highest level, which caused the runner to appear and repeated the process until the mission was completed. Works well in combination with the Minotaur task.
Hows the community progress today?
50% tier 1
Oi. So 0% progress since the last 9 hours 😦
there probably has been progress but the ods is down so we won't know
I don't think were going to make it. Especially as more people drop out
well ods is down for me again, that's a fine time to quit. blah
kinda hard to believe that everybody all at once stopped killing bugs
Does it count for those who are not in expeditions?
i don't think so
like if you're not in an expedition, does it count towards the goal if you kill a bug?
ahh yeah I figured
we think not
pretty sure you have to be on an expedition save for your kills to be counted
but it seems that the rewards will be made available to everyone
yes, they will, for quicksilver for people who didn't/couldn't play the expedition
