#

yeah it is but since i started a whole new save for just the expedition i didnt do the story technically

fleet meadow
swift flume
#

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

unborn yew
#

Anyone hear anything about when online discovery services might be back up?

#

for PC

scarlet wigeon
#

Just used the minotaur mining laser to get it thanks for the tip!

fleet meadow
naive ocean
#

for the drip

fleet meadow
#

Ahh, that makes sense.😂

ebon urchin
#

can we bring more than 1 ship out of an expedition?

swift flume
#

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

fleet meadow
prime crystal
#

sup fellas

#

is the current expedition in a regular galaxy or fresh stuff like adrift

fleet meadow
prime crystal
#

ohh, so that pandora looking one from the trailer is a expedition destination?

fleet meadow
#

It's just one of the regular planets now.😂

swift flume
#

first planet is like that

prime crystal
fleet meadow
#

That said, I'd love to have a planet with trees we could climb up into.
Like, actual Avatar stuff.

prime crystal
#

would be interesting

fleet meadow
#

Maybe Light No Fire will have a place like that somewhere on its planet?

prime crystal
#

any specific resources that are advised to help speed up some milestone

#

like cooking or such

naive ocean
#

u could bring some runaway mould for easy nanites

unborn yew
#

There's a pinned list of things to bring

#

but nothing is necessary

steep path
#

Can you run the expedition a second time?

prime crystal
#

when you leave expedition its done

#

unless hello games reruns it

steep path
#

Got it. Thanks.

blissful roost
#

How do i transfer items from expedition to regular save when i complete?

prime crystal
#

do the reverse when you put them in

#

same spot

unborn yew
blissful roost
#

I started a new save for expedition

#

Didnt know i could stsrt from anomaly till after i started new

naive ocean
blissful roost
#

How i get S tier upgrades for jetpack and multitool then???

#

My jetpack op in expedition

unborn yew
#

Just keep on keepin' on

naive ocean
#

you mean on your main?

unborn yew
#

You'll get there

#

OR just use the expedition as your main save from now on

blissful roost
#

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

unborn yew
#

to put into perspective that's about 2 expeditions if you don't race through

naive ocean
#

you'll find plenty of great upgrades on your travels dont worry

blissful roost
#

B class tho

prime crystal
#

if you hang in the anomaly there are people that usually have way too much currency and such, could help you out

blissful roost
#

Ok ill just finish expedition obj then continue on main save

unborn yew
#

My main save is in the 300 hours 👀

blissful roost
#

Im almost caught up already i feel like

unborn yew
blissful roost
#

Got a S class ship from a random that landed on a planet too 🤯

#

I couldnt believe it

unborn yew
#

ohhh heck yeah

blissful roost
#

Cost me all but 1 mil of money

unborn yew
#

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

jagged sedge
unborn yew
#

The trick is not losing your original ship lol

ebon urchin
#

it diseapeared after a few sec

unborn yew
#

Is friend shaped

ebon urchin
#

do it appear randomly? should we attack if if we see it spawn?

unborn yew
#

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?

naive ocean
#

i think u should stare into its eye and see what happens

#

:]

unborn yew
#

^ this is the clear answer here

arctic crystal
#

What’s community progress

unborn yew
#

We must kill many bugs

#

MANY

quick jewel
#

All the bugs... I'm doing my part! Aaahhhhh

unborn yew
#

We must all do our part!

ebon urchin
#

i`m struggling with the walker part, either it stop to spawn, or never escalate high enought

unborn yew
#

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

ebon urchin
#

oh, my last place had horor spawn too

unborn yew
#

Yeah I'd say go to a sentinel heavy planet away from horrors and just pick a fight

summer kindle
#

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

unborn yew
#

If you're comfortable enough with gameplay hop on in now!

vapid swift
#

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

unborn yew
#

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

naive ocean
#

id say maybe hop in after u learn about hyperdrive?

unborn yew
#

Yeah good call

summer kindle
#

I’m feeling pretty comfortable, but I’m glad to hear you can dip in and out of the expedition

unborn yew
#

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

grand lodge
#

The first expedition you do is always a little messy but you learn a lot.

surreal raven
#

anyone know how to make sentenals agressive again?

naive ocean
#

steal gravitino balls, shoot stuff when theyre near u, go to planets that say "Aggressive Sentinels" when u scan from space

surreal raven
#

i mean after killing them and getting the passive thing

naive ocean
#

ohhh

surreal raven
#

i already did all that

naive ocean
#

wait

#

a while

surreal raven
#

ok

naive ocean
#

or go to another planet

surreal raven
#

fair nuff

wanton frigate
#

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.

teal socket
# surreal raven fair nuff

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.

latent summit
#

is there any strategy for hitting 4 enemies with one grenade?

swift flume
#

spawncamp biological horrors

#

they usually spawn at the same point by those beacons at outposts

stone void
latent summit
#

mmm

#

ty both
ez enough

#

and where do I find alluring specimens for deep sea monstrosities?

narrow adder
#

deep sea basically

#

but if you mine resources underwater you can spawn jellyfish and killing those also counts

soft pilot
#

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

wanton frigate
#

It's kind of cheating in reverse but a sentinel ship brain will send you that way.

soft pilot
#

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

stone void
surreal raven
#

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

stone void
# unborn yew I like hunting sunken ships on water worlds

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.

does this still work in the current expedition 14? I have the iron vulture from the QS shop rewards.

wanton frigate
cold adder
#

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

wanton frigate
# topaz notch does this still work in the current expedition 14? I have the iron vulture from ...

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

unborn yew
#

omg me neither

#

SO DO THE NEXUS BUG MISSIONS.LOL(random bug genocide just not good enough)

unborn yew
solemn bane
#

Weird, so the tooltip with your "Individual kills" is misleading? Bigger whiff than usual from HG if so

ebon urchin
#

does anyone know if one of the planet in the drop zone got storm crystal? (trying to repair my minotaur...)

signal kayak
#

Not at all

soft pilot
#

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 😦

signal kayak
#

Check your logs page it should have the mission there

soft pilot
#

it was not a mission i think

signal kayak
#

Click on it to set as active mission and it should give you the icon again

soft pilot
#

ok goin back in game, had got out to see if reloading would fix this

unborn yew
soft pilot
#

it shows on the galaxy map

signal kayak
# unborn yew

For a second i thought you had the same name as the interceptor lol

lucid elk
#

Is anyone online familiar with visiting previous expeditions on pc?

soft pilot
#

ok thanx, i just spent hours faffing about to try and get that ship 🙂

signal kayak
bold musk
soft pilot
#

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

lucid elk

#

i think i remember being able to choose what to scan for, but i don't remember how

ebon urchin
#

can we get the walker from the dissonant sentinel?

flat canopy
#

no

signal kayak
ebon urchin
#

the one for the quest

indigo falcon
#

no, dissonant sentinels don't incllude a walker in their waves, you'll need regular sentinels for that.

Collect 900 resources in one burst?

indigo falcon
soft pilot
#

oh, ok thank u 🙂

indigo falcon
# dry sigil Collect 900 resources in one burst?

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

soft pilot
#

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?

dry sigil
dusky oracle
#

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?

soft pilot
#

it does not mention a name?

dusky oracle
#

No it doesn’t

ebon urchin

Only says here aluring specimen, but can’t find it using scanner

Anyone remember the name of the first system? lol

indigo falcon

note that these need to be actual buildings, where biohorrors spawn in, not the naked waypoints you often see

soft pilot
#

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

Are the online services working for switch?

#

Do you guys keep playing on expedition characters? Or return to a normal save?

indigo falcon
midnight falcon
#

when I get near to the end I should just wait as comm goals? or can you finish but nto end exped?

simple coral
naive ocean
#

but others may want to stay on their expedition saves if its more advanced than their main

midnight falcon
#

@naive oceanCna you finish all the objectives and stay in the expedition to help?

indigo falcon
#

just don't claim all the rewards, leave one

naive ocean
#

this, if u started a brand new save for the expedition ^

#

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

echo cradle
#

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

flat canopy
#

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

lethal mirage
#

Remove killcap

#

Give me infinite waves of sentinels with a few other people

#

And i will be happy

#

Other people are optional

elfin hull
#

Yuo.

#

*Yup

#

Before I knew about the cap, I spent 3 hours killing abominations.

indigo falcon
#

if they remove the kill cap, a few users with mods will complete all the milestones in a day.

plush onyx
#

how do i find walkers? do I just start sentinel fights and they come out eventually?

flint totem
#

Kill cap should be raised to 1000 then. 150 is way too low.

narrow adder
#

well thats new. my base was eaten by respawning terrain while i was in it

upbeat fulcrum
#

ah, space station mission "killing creatures" count horrors as well ...

echo cradle
#

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?

naive ocean
#

Sell, or save them for another ruin and unlock the chest without having to dig around for keys

cold adder
#

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?

spice locust
#

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

I recommend not doing anything important in a group (story missions, expedition, etc)

cold adder

#

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

nytips for nanites

plush onyx
#

If I end the expedition can I no longer contribute to murder goals?

flat canopy
granite ridge
#

Or sentinel killing spree. Glass > upgrade module > sell for nanites

flat canopy
#

But in general:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Dissonant planets, farm corrupted sentinels for glass like @granite ridge said, and farm Interceptor ships to salvage as they will give nanites and units.

  4. 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?

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

lucid tapir

#

lol you can do it!

#

thats very close to complete

granite ridge
#

Iirc I made it with minotaur bore on soil

dusky oracle
#

anyone know which planet? this sentinel activity really annoying

indigo falcon
#

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

dusky oracle
#

thanks, no jetpack?

indigo falcon
#

do not jetpack for this mission, walk or run only

dusky oracle
#

I found this freezing planet does it have snow storm?

#

oh ok thx

indigo falcon
#

doesn't matter. any storm will do, I think I did mine on a toxic world for example

dusky oracle
#

oh ok even with heat storm

#

thanks

indigo falcon
#

yep.

dusky oracle
#

anyone know how to build container in this expedition? is it available ?

granite ridge
#

Unlock the tech in the anomaly (between ship and exosuit merchant)

dusky oracle
#

gotcha, thanks

indigo falcon
#

just gotta farm salvaged data as usual

median harbor
#

can multitool be transferred from expedition save to main save?

#

oh wait nevermind i did NOT use the terminal for this 😭

indigo falcon
#

if you had, you could have got a copy of the active expd ship and mt back to the main save for nanites....

dusky oracle
#

where can i submit my salvaged data in anomaly?

indigo falcon
# dusky oracle 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)

dusky oracle
#

thank you

misty widget
#

I didn't even look are the community claim optional requirements worth waiting for?

indigo falcon
#

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

misty widget
#

good to know as I ended the expedition lol

median ember
#

For the walking mission
Sitting on a pet and then running and or flying works too...worked for me....

indigo falcon
#

huh so pet transport works too? fun

median ember
#

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

indigo falcon
#

it works with multiple bursts as long as there's not too long a gap in between those bursts, and that is intended

median ember
#

I simply suggest to use your the bot laser much better...

indigo falcon
#

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

goodnight nms chat

fallen frost
#

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??

indigo falcon
#

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?

fallen frost
#

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??

indigo falcon
#

go to the discovery tab, look on the lower left to see what it says about ods

fallen frost
#

ohh offline?

#

do i reboot my game and steam to restart it or is there a button in settings??

indigo falcon
#

is it? mmm. I see. next question, are the worlds where you scan things showing up as discovered by you?

fallen frost
#

no most say others

#

anbd multiplayer is on

#

i see people moving and talking in chat

indigo falcon
#

there's not a setting or a button, the servers have been unstable for a couple days

fallen frost
#

ohh :/

indigo falcon
#

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

fallen frost
#

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??

indigo falcon
#

yeah I would just put it on hold and do other things

#

!hg

THANK YOUUUU

indigo falcon

I got lucky and the eel worked on the first planet, but ods was working then too

misty widget
#

I got mine from a standard predator while scanning animals.

fallen frost
#

oh shoot ... everyone dissapeared i dont see ppl now only flying ships

#

yeah the servers are going crazy i guesss hahaha

misty widget
#

lol it happens.. going crazy is more common then people think.. lol

fallen frost
#

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

indigo falcon
#

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

fallen frost
#

ohhh on the pinned!!! THANKYOUUUU hahaha still new to this thing

dry escarp
#

what the progress on community research milestones?

indigo falcon
#

dunno, ods wasn't working for me last time I looked, so no good current progress info

lucid tapir
#

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.

dry escarp
#

why do you need this specific system

indigo falcon
#

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

lucid tapir
indigo falcon
#

yeah sorry, no idea

dry escarp
indigo falcon
#

did you visit it already and left it?

#

@lucid tapir ^^

lucid tapir
# indigo falcon did you visit it already and left it?

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

indigo falcon
#

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

midnight falcon
#

I finished everything but the harvest in 900 in one burst lol...where is a good spot?

indigo falcon
#

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

midnight falcon
#

well this planet isn't meant for that then

indigo falcon
#

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

midnight falcon
#

pfft I get to 700

#

and weapon depletes

indigo falcon
#

you can tap and release briefly to keep from overheating; make sure the beam is fully charged before starting

midnight falcon
#

from 100% yea I was doing that

#

but I depleted

indigo falcon
#

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

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" .

  • 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
wanton frigate

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!

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.)

thats kinda whats happening though

#

progressing through part 1 is also giving us progress through part 2, 3, etc

full sparrow
#

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.

keen ember
#

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.

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.

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?

wraith badge
wanton frigate
# craggy echo really? even if I have never done so on my game?

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....

to buy the entire thing with quicksilver would run you around 7.2k

It's hardish to explain.

  1. Finish the warp milestone
  2. Summon anomaly

  4. Go to the Expedition computer
  5. Click copy ship

OR

#
  1. Go to Quicksilver vendor
  2. Click claim expedition rewards
  3. Claim the ship you want from expeditions if you earned any

For this one I claimed the Iron Vulture

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.

If it says 0% it is literally 0%

indigo falcon

yeah and if those servers are unreachable/broken then.... we'll get 0

wanton frigate

so they could be tweaking the numbers? 🤞

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.

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

Was ingame earlier and it was at 50%. For the community task

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.

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

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

By the way

What am I looking for when scanning planets

Vile Brood, I assume

Alright

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

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)

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.

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.

cunning crescent

Guessing the same, but wondered if someone datamined to see.

wanton frigate
#

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!

cunning crescent

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?

ashen shore
#

what is the best way to get fire in the hole? i’m having so much trouble trying to do it

indigo falcon
#

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...

rocky kernel
#

Ah, yeah, if you don't shoot the spawners it should not be too difficult to get the sentinels one.

indigo falcon
#

well because the corrupt drones count for both types.... bam

rocky kernel
#

Nice.

indigo falcon
#

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.

latent drift
ashen shore
#

oh

#

okay i’ll go make a settlement

latent drift
#

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

indigo falcon
#

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.

latent drift
#

that too

full river
#

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

ashen shore
indigo falcon
latent drift
#

fire at the ground a bit in front of the beacon so it rolls to the beacon

rocky kernel
#

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.

latent drift
#

controller is B/circle to cycle secondary but only when on a primary that allows secondary (terrain manipulator has its own secondary)

rocky kernel
#

Ah, I'll check that out next time I'm playing. TY

cunning crescent
#

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?

indigo falcon
#

50% tier 1

echo cradle

Oi. So 0% progress since the last 9 hours 😦

warm sedge
#

there probably has been progress but the ods is down so we won't know

echo cradle
#

I don't think were going to make it. Especially as more people drop out

indigo falcon
#

well ods is down for me again, that's a fine time to quit. blah

warm sedge
#

kinda hard to believe that everybody all at once stopped killing bugs

primal arch
#

Does it count for those who are not in expeditions?

warm sedge
#

i don't think so

primal arch
#

like if you're not in an expedition, does it count towards the goal if you kill a bug?

#

ahh yeah I figured

indigo falcon
#

we think not

warm sedge
#

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

indigo falcon
#

yes, they will, for quicksilver for people who didn't/couldn't play the expedition
