nms-expedition

[dusky oracle]

I see

So no point in hunting ships in expeditions area

[fleet geyser]

you can also turn the expedition into a normal save and maybe get the loot into your main base

[dusky oracle]

How?

[fleet geyser]

you can hunt for the components and bring them back

[dusky oracle]

Oh only items not currencies?

[fleet geyser]

yeah i think so

i dont actually know how to get it from your expedition save to your main base, but i think if you progress the story enough in the expedition save (after you made it a normal save) you can use the glyphs to get to the planet your main base is on

thats as far as i thought of so far though

unless im just stupid and ignored something blatantly obvious lmao

[digital plover]

Guys... Its not normal... I've been killing than more 150 per day, but the counter dont pass 50 kills and progress counter growth slowly

[dusky oracle]

Lol ok thanks for the info, so now I just have to find the glyphs for the planet that I built a base and my stuffs there, if you could confirm if this is true

[desert escarp]

It's community progress

[grand mica]

timberwolf finished

[desert escarp]

and idk if the tracker is always up to date

[dusky oracle]

Yeah I got the same thought like that too

[digital plover]

Did you complete this missions?

[desert escarp]

And you can only kill 150 per day

[desert escarp]

I've completed all the ones you can yeah

the optionals are all community progress

[fleet geyser]

well you have to find the glyphs to use the portals in the first place, which is the main part my plan sucks. Then you gotta find your base because it only might be shown because its a new save. As i said, my plan sucks

[dusky oracle]

Does it have to be 150 to make it count?

[desert escarp]

Purge 1 has x % out of 100, we're at 50 and you capped out your progress for the day if you killed more than 150

[desert escarp]

you can kill any amount but it caps at 150

[dusky oracle]

Gotcha

[fleet geyser]

so there is a possibility that you could do the main storyline, get the glyphs, get to the portal and put in the glyphs to the planet with your save, and not be able to find your base unless you scour the surface for it

[dusky oracle]

Still cloud in my head for this expedition stuffs that I asked earlier lol

[desert escarp]

What were you asking

[digital plover]

But shouldn't individual deaths be greater than 50?

[fleet geyser]

if you could take the rewards the milestones give into your main save from a seperate expedition save

[desert escarp]

Don't know what you mean

[fleet geyser]

it says 50 and counting

[swift flume]

the counter is broken but ive heard that the contributes are still counted up to 150

[fleet geyser]

so if you kill 300 things then the progress bar goes up 150 and the quest thingy says "50 and counting"

[digital plover]

Do community progress depends of Discovery service?

[fleet geyser]

i think the discovery service has been down for a while

[digital plover]

For me stopped after day one of expedition

[dusty elm]

At what point does the Space Anomaly appear in your hotbar so I can go and claim my ship and resources. I've almost completed phase 1 and still not seeing it available.

[grand mica]

have u launched into space yet?

[desert escarp]

jump to the 2nd system and you should be able to summon it

[dusty elm]

Yes, I reached the first rendezvous point dropzone one, and checked hotbar, not there. So maybe I need to enter space again.

Is dropzone one considered the 2nd system?

[desert escarp]

Maybe its 2nd zone? I don't remember it being in the first system

[dusty elm]

Do I need to complete all of phase 1 in order to have space anomaly appear?

[queen oriole]

You have to warp to the second system I think

That’s when it allowed me to summon

[desert escarp]

Yeah, you have to jump to the next system

No idea if theres any other conditions for it

[grand mica]

whats the 2nd system the expedition takes you to?

or wait

no, 3rd system

whats the 3rd system named

i left my minotaur bay and exocraft summoning place there

[desert escarp]

its lost

[grand mica]

wtf u mean its lost

[desert escarp]

is there anyway to retrieve your summoning bay if you never marked it

[sweet latch]

Do previous expeditions come back?

[desert escarp]

i left mine somewhere and forgot about it, never saw that thing again

[desert escarp]

I think they run an event where they come back

[final marlin]

guys. i have been scanning creatures for an hour for apex predator expedition but i cant complete it

any tips?

[naive ocean]

Once u place a geobay, u dont have to worry about it again. The exocraft summoning station is portable so it can fit in ur inventory when u need it. If u lost that though, u can just build a new one

[swift flume]

check the pins

[desert escarp]

that's what i meant

[grand mica]

imsby minor @final marlin

[desert escarp]

If you cant find it via having a place saved near it, you just gotta rebuild

[final marlin]

ah

[ashen shore]

What's going on with the bot the tire progress says 0

Is something bugged

[desert escarp]

ods is down

[naive ocean]

ods is down ight now

[abstract plank]

Someone gave it to me with Vulture Parts

[crimson rose]

3rd Rendezvous system, Boilingplanet has one I think

[dusky oracle]

About how we can hunt stuffs in expedition but cannot bring it to normal save

[desert escarp]

Oh yeah if it's on its own save thats rough

[dusky oracle]

But I think the parts we can bring back to normal save right? As long as it save in our inventory

[desert escarp]

Yeah store tech in your inventory

Your multitool and I think the current ship you were last in you can take back once you go to your main save

8 tech 24 other cargo

[dusky oracle]

And how is our exosuit storage will be ? Is it going to be expanded when we are back to normal save?

[desert escarp]

I dont think so, but you can stop the upgrade from happening and store it

I know I disrupted that process and it went to my exosuit inventory

[grand mica]

hol up

so if we start an expedition on our main save with our exosuit having all this storage n stuff
it just wipes that? for your main save too?

[dusky oracle]

Oh so we have to save it somewhere?

[desert escarp]

Yeah you can store the upgrades if you exit the upgrade screen when you unlock the rewards

[naive ocean]

Your main save is safe

When u choose to end the expedition u will have the opportunity to send a selection of items back to your main save via the expedition terminal

[desert escarp]

Your storage should stay untouched

[bold musk]

Save the storage upgrades.bring them over when you finish expedition

[desert escarp]

But any upgrades made to you in Expo won't carry over, thats why I was saying you can stop the upgrade process and transfer t hem over to your main if you need/want them

[dusky oracle]

Can we consolidate our expedition items with main save?

[desert escarp]

You can only keep some items from Expo

MT and a ship you can bring back after

[dusky oracle]

How about if we pack all upgrades and store it in storage for main save

[grand mica]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[naive ocean]

That would be a good idea

[dusky oracle]

Oh we can bring MT, but not exosuit up grade

[desert escarp]

You can save the upgrades by not using them

Just leave it in your inventory for when you leave the Expo

[dusky oracle]

Once we used it we can’t pack it back and store it?

[desert escarp]

But you just wont have the upgrades for when you play the Expo unless you go out of your way to buy them instead

[swift flume]

canbt you just repack the upgrades when the expo ends

[desert escarp]

Oh I meant storage upgrades

Tech upgrades yeah you can store at any time

[dusky oracle]

Yep tech upgrades

[desert escarp]

You have 8 Tech to bring back

[dusky oracle]

How about exosuit upgrades? Is it going to stay?

[naive ocean]

You mean for storage upgrades? Only if u didnt use them

[desert escarp]

If you mean tech upgrades, you leave your character when you leave Expo. If you dont store the tech you want in the 8 slots you have, you cant bring them back

Storage upgrades can be brought back if you just dont use em

[south pebble]

I’m kinda stuck

[grand mica]

man the minotaur makes these combat objectives so easy

[south pebble]

Three badges are giving me grief. Timber wolf, fire in the hole and

Iron Giants

[dusky oracle]

No what I meant like movement and jetpack upgrade and also slot in our exosuit

[south pebble]

Is it possible to pair up in game to tackle these objectives?

[grand mica]

timberwolf is REALLY easy
you just gotta be decent at fighting as the minotaur

fire in the hole is easiest when you go to an abandoned structure and trigger the brood

iron giants is easier when fighting as the minotaur as well but you also need to be fairly good at combat in NMS

[eager shore]

how do i find a planet with vie brood for the metamorphis milestone?

[final marlin]

so my current record still says this

[naive ocean]

Movement and jetpack u can pack up. Slots in exosuit can only be saved if u didnt use them

[final marlin]

am i supposed to do something ?

[grand mica]

id say just work on getting used to fighting as the minotaur and thatll get you through timberwolf and iron giants

fire in the hole is easy you jsut gotta aim

[crimson rose]

Iron giants is a hassle, yust finding the mechs. Make sure you follow the battle to the Pillar

[grand mica]

i think paralysis mortar also works for fire in the hole

[desert escarp]

I'd say piss of the sentinels, make sure theres a save nearby and spawn your Minotaur there and use your geobay/exo summon there

[dusky oracle]

So if I used them already I can’t even pack it back and bring it back?

[desert escarp]

You get a sentinel pillar after so you should be in the same system, fly there, save and fight with your minotaur

[south pebble]

Okay. Thanks. I’m new at Minotaur.

[eager shore]

how do i find a planet with vile brood for the metamorphis milestone?

[naive ocean]

No because rhey dont “exist” anymore, they are part of your available storage slots

[dusky oracle]

Oh man, I should’ve not use it, but I needed them

[desert escarp]

If you stick around for the first community tier, it gives 5 exosuit inventory upgrades

[naive ocean]

Should say “vile brood” from space

[desert escarp]

I maxed out my inventory through purchases already, so once that unlocks I'll just have 5 sitting cargo upgrades

but you can just not upgrade when the screen comes up if you still have a quest that awards them

[grand mica]

minotaur just takes time
previous experience in mech games helps, at least for me

[eager shore]

my quest thing says that there is vile brood in a nearby world but when i scanned the planets with my freighter it didnt show that

[dusky oracle]

Hopefully it will be completed

[desert escarp]

Tbf Minotaurs hard part is the movement and if enemies are too close in combat

Otherwise keeping the fat circle on them is easy

[grand mica]

i dont find any problem with minotaurs movement honestly

just make use of ariadnes flame, dont sit around moving at 5 kilometers an hour

[desert escarp]

Its just slow and sentinels suck at detecting from 5 feet away

[final marlin]

guys. so my current record for pav for vicious creatures is just saying n/a. am i doing something wrong or do i need to manually register a creature

[grand mica]

again, ariadnes flame (the jump boost thing)

solves the movement problems

entirely

[desert escarp]

If enemies get stuck in a rock too, minotaur is good at hitting things through walls

[desert escarp]

Keep scanning animals

its bugged so not every animal shared will work

Took me till the end of my 2nd Expo run to get one that registered

[naive ocean]

And check pins for some hints for where to find the right animals

[final marlin]

yeah i went to those animals in pins, scanned them and nothing

still saying n/a pav on current record

do i need like a specific module or just scan animals

[desert escarp]

Just scan

Its bugged, Idk when it might register a level, but mine was stuck at 8.9 for a bit

[final marlin]

damn. sigh..

[deep basalt]

Has anyone managed to get the "A Trace of Metal" quest for the Minotaur Hardframe upgrades to trigger while in the expedition?

[desert escarp]

Not while in Expo, didn't know that was possible

[deep basalt]

I was hoping it might be, I started a new save for this expedition because I didn't realize you could use your old one

And apparently pausing it isn't a thing if you started it for the expedition.

[dusky oracle]

can we access our base in expedition from main save, or we can go back there again after the xpdition is over?

[naive ocean]

Once u finish the expedition it will convert to a normal save, so any content locked to that type of save will be available after

[desert escarp]

I assume with portals you could

[flint saddle]

I was gonna ask if the kill sentinels quest count the Interceptors but i just killed a whole swarm with neutron cannon

[deep basalt]

Right... would I be able to rejoin the expedition, or would I miss out on the rewards?

(the community rewards, I've finished all the phases)

[plush onyx]

is ODS on now?

[desert escarp]

Ending the Expo in its own save will remove the ability to rejoin

[naive ocean]

I dont believe so, no. Not from a new one. However the community rewards will be available in the quicksilver shop for purchase if we meet the goals

[deep basalt]

So I'd only really be missing out on the ability to "do my part" unless I joined from another save?

[desert escarp]

Yeah pretty much

[deep basalt]

Hrm. Almost makes me want to modify my file to give me the recipes.

I do have my "main" save, which I made back in Utopia. Maybe I'll pop back into the expedition on that save to contribute if I end it on this one.

[desert escarp]

I think Purge by Fire 1 rewards wont be purchasable

but the rest like flamethrower, minotaur stuff, all will be in QS store

But idk how the other Expos and their rewards have worked

[desert escarp]

What I'm currently doing in my main save

Made the seperate Expo its own, made my "Main" a new Expo that I wont end until the community stuff is over

[loud night]

Wait is this event only allowing you to get mechs during the time period listed?

[deep basalt]

No, you can get the mech

[desert escarp]

You can get a minotaur through the story

And the community missions are unlocking stuff in the QS store

[loud night]

Oh gotcha

I haven't even placed a base down yet.

[desert escarp]

I think once you find and claim a settlement, you get minotaur through that?

Idk how it works

[loud night]

Me and the misses just started like 4 days ago. So really playing catch-up with the game. I just wanted to make sure that her and I weren't going to miss out on something big haha

[deep basalt]

You can just buy the Minotaur geobay blueprint from the regular vendor

[desert escarp]

Yeah I forgot about those, I did it through a quest lol

[dusky oracle]

oh ok is that portal where we do atlas quest searching for artemis? not atlas path though

[desert escarp]

I'm not sure how it'd work, but it'd be the portals with the glyphs

[dusky oracle]

ok

[desert escarp]

So you have a guaranteed path to where you're trying to get your main save to

[dusky oracle]

I see but can we use portal from anomaly?

[desert escarp]

I dont think that'd work long distance

[dusky oracle]

oh ok

[naive ocean]

There is 1 portal on every planet

[fierce folio]

YES

AFTER OVER TWELVE HOURS OF BEING STUCK ON APEX PREDATOR

I FINALLY

FOUND ONE

[naive ocean]

[wide jackal]

YAY

[dusky oracle]

oh ok but how do we find one ?

[swift flume]

go to a monolith and give it whatever it wants

you can find it using a planetary chart

[dusky oracle]

lol I got it completed by accident

[dusky oracle]

oh ok thx

[grand mica]

expedition completed

yay

[dusky oracle]

congrats

[swift flume]

the chart should be like ancient site or something like that

[dusky oracle]

ok

[naive ocean]

da purple one

[dusky oracle]

thx

[high sand]

dropzone 3 is different for everyone?

[dusky oracle]

I am not sure but I think when I arrived at it last time there was a lot of messages from other players

But for dropzone 4 I think only few people I saw

[grand mica]

so quick question, the expedition terminal wouldnt let me transfer my companion egg so i hatched it
will i still be able to use that companion when i go back to my main save?

[naive ocean]

You can get a copy of the egg at the quicksilver guy

[grand mica]

do i have to pay quicksilver for it?

[naive ocean]

No cuz u earned it in the exp

[grand mica]

ah ok

[vale knoll]

How do you do the gather 900 resources at once.

[desert escarp]

For me I just mined a ton of resources without letting the beam hit 0% or overheat

but I dont think it takes 900 resources unless you gather it through plants, cause I collected more than 900 and then it completed on both runs

[grand mica]

holy shit 14k nanites

[grand mica]

^

[naive ocean]

🤑

[grand mica]

just let the heat get close then let it down for a second or two then start using it again

[simple coral]

What’s the percentage of the expedition thing?

[safe radish]

what's a good planet for blood in the water?

last thing I need

[dusky oracle]

I just went to same planet after I completed the previous mission

[desert escarp]

I did it in the last system, the green planet that starts with a W

But I think just diving into water on any planet you're guaranteed to find 3 things to kill that fit the requirement

[dusky oracle]

it was confusing, but I found out killing jellyfish will complete your mission

[ashen shore]

The same planet rhe phase us on, shoot the school of fish

[dusky oracle]

I guess the monsters are different for everyone lol

[ashen shore]

Killing the fish attracts the monsters

[safe radish]

🫡

[desert escarp]

I dove into the ocean and killed some serpent looking mf

[safe radish]

bruh I can't find the water

[desert escarp]

I usually fly out till I can see the separation just outside of orbit

[safe radish]

guess I just expected it to be wetter since it's a tropical planet

[desert escarp]

I found a pretty large section of the planet being ocean

Theres a lot of pools of water but they arent very deep

[runic raven]

Between phase 3-5 there are systems with water and deep enough to spawn monstrosities

[safe radish]

ok found some

nvm this is way too shallow

[swift flume]

i just killed some random fauna in the water and got the quest clear

before you hunt the alluring species down try killing some random stuff

[safe radish]

dawg I'm just trying to find water

[swift flume]

see if it works

[desert escarp]

I never look at the animal, I just shoot and kill till something registers lol

[desert escarp]

I promise you I didnt hallucinate water 🙏

it does exist on Wednaean

[safe radish]

yea I've found a few pools but they're all super shallow with no creatures

[desert escarp]

Damn

I didnt know it was that bad

trust, theres a giant ocean with small circles of rock pillars

but if that takes too long, a diff planet might be better lol

[naive ocean]

Try the other side of the planet

Oceans usually takes up half the planet

[safe radish]

ok done

here are the coords

[eager shore]

is there any inverted mirrors on the dissodant planet?

i havent found any

[swift flume]

the objective for sentinel ships will point you toward the nearest one

[naive ocean]

What you are looking for are dissonance resonators. They should look like purple rectangle robots drilling into the ground

[swift flume]

use the scanner thing

[eager shore]

yea lol i have but i couldnt find any 😭

ill look a bit more

[swift flume]

not the normal one

the objective scanner

follow the obj it gives you until it tells you to find the mirror

[eager shore]

tty

[flint saddle]

Guys

Where do i find a 12.0 predator again? I forgot if its in starter system or first drop zone

[naive ocean]

Starter

[flint totem]

Is there any counter that displays the total number of bugs/sentinels/monstrosities killed instead of the %?

[naive ocean]

Should be in the catalog tab

[safe radish]

I found it instantly on imsby minor in the pins

don't recommend searching on the starter since it's an underground spawn

[flint totem]

I meant for the "purged by fire" milestone.

[swift flume]

you can just chill in a cave till it spawns, they will spawn right next to you

[naive ocean]

There isnt a live counter, you will have to add up your kills. That tab displays your totals

[flint totem]

Looks like it only displays sentinel kills edit: ok i see horrors also. They both fall under the 'Journey Milestones' then 'Mercenaries Guild'

[flint saddle]

I dont see this

This is the drop zone 3 i have

[flint totem]

1165 horrors eliminated, 328 sentinels destroyed. I wish they'd open the limit past 150 per day.

[naive ocean]

For sure it feels way too low

[indigo falcon]

how's ods? I'm guessing borked for you, Captain? because the drop zone 3 system should be called Rudain-Blosa

[flint totem]

ALERT, Navigational data received.

[swift flume]

if i end the expedition can i still get the ship and multitool or do i need to grab them first?

[indigo falcon]

make them active on your expedition save (in case you have more than one mt / ship) and then you will be offered the option to copy them when ending the expedition. make sure you put any trech / resources you want to transfer, into the stash at the anomaly first, as well

[flint saddle]

Fuck....

[indigo falcon]

well if it's borked for you it's likely down again for everyone

SIGH

[swift flume]

why is it red

[flint totem]

was 1165 a few minutes ago. I've eliminated 1267 horrors now.

[indigo falcon]

yep ods down for me too (just got in game). welp. sad times

[flint totem]

what's ods?

[indigo falcon]

online discovery services: letsyou get base, planet, fauna info; also info about community progress

also lets you upload your own contributions....

[flint totem]

where can you see its current status? at the anomoly portal?

[indigo falcon]

no, just go to the discovery tab and look at lower left

[swift flume]

if i end the expo on my main save but still have one on a different save will my main get the minotaur parts free or not?

[flint totem]

ah, lost connection

thanks

[indigo falcon]

I think the community rewards only unlock for the expedition save

but yu'll be able to pay quicksilver later to unlock account-wide

[swift flume]

alright thx

[flint saddle]

Which of the 2 planets in the starter system had the underground predator again?

[indigo falcon]

the underwater one, the first planet, starter planet

[flint saddle]

Oki imma do that one then

[keen flint]

i found the pinned dinosaur looking thing but it dosent count apparently

for the 12 predator thing

[indigo falcon]

it does, but there's something buggy, which might (my guess) have to do with ods and getting the right values for that critter

I would just do other milestones for now

[keen flint]

aww ok

[severe cloak]

how's the expedition's community mission progress?

[indigo falcon]

52% but ods is down so that's a low number, we'll find out later....

[flint saddle]

I DID IT

I FOUND THE WATER FUCKER

[indigo falcon]

and it counted? I hope??

[flint saddle]

Yep got the milestone complete

[indigo falcon]

excellent!

[flint saddle]

Woooo

[brazen violet]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@brazen violet

COMMUNITY RESEARCH

Current tier

░░░░░░░░░░ 1/5

Tier 1 progress

░░░░░░░░░░ 0%

[flint totem]

oof

[deep basalt]

I don't think that's right

It was at 52% of tier 1 completion earlier.

[flint totem]

Yeah, that's what it says right now as I look at it.

[brazen violet]

I assume it has something to do with ODS being flaky

[indigo falcon]

52% from my last good ods check, which was some time ago

the 0% is "ods is down and Guntie can't get any data"

welp one boundary map acquired, time to sell off some upgrades, stash some items in storage, and that's it for the day, maybe do more in the evening. more kills added to the daily count

[eager shore]

anybody got any tips for finding the lifeform thingy?

[indigo falcon]

there's some pins with a suitable predator; the starter planet has an eel you can get; if you scan one of the pinned ones or the eel and they don't work, then it's buggy fo ryou right now (maybe related to ods down and yo having the wrong data?), just do other milestones for now

[eager shore]

thanks just saw that now

[latent summit]

you're telling me
it went up
ONE
PERCENT
in a day?

[flat canopy]

people are bored of it already I think

[indigo falcon]

I'm telling you most people probably did not get their kills uploaded because ods was down when they were in the game.

[latent summit]

oh yeah

prolly

makes sense

honk shmimimimi

[flint saddle]

Honestly the Objective of killing Bugs, Sentinels, and Horrors all at once is giving me the thrill and mission ive been wanting cause i was getting a tiny bit bored of no combat

[flint saddle]

Watch tomorrow if its back up and everyones kills gets uploaded, milestone one would have finished

[flint totem]

My favorite is getting them all to attack during a tornado/lightning storm.

[indigo falcon]

well we would see a lot of progress at least.

[snow flame]

hi guys, just got my first sentinel ship. compared to normal starships it's not difficult to get fuel resourcs right?

and do you advise using standard starship upgrades or use the sentinel specific ones

[flint saddle]

Starship upgrades work on sentinel

[flint saddle]

Fuel for sentinel make sure to always have a stack of radiant crystals and Atlantidium

[indigo falcon]

it's just fuel that's different for the interceptors

I think it will take pugneum too, no? which you can at least buy here and there

[flint saddle]

Actually ive seen its same fuel just now has option to use either or butits easier to have the crystals

[flint saddle]

Ohh yeah almost forgot that one

[elder yarrow]

getting ready to fire up the expedition on the main save... any recommendations to send into the expedition?

[grand mica]

yes

bring some stuff that you can sell for about 4k-ish nanites so u can bring your spacecraft and multi-tool in

your own multi-tool and spacecraft make a massive difference

also if you wanna make a lot of the objectives easier, get used to spending most of your time in the minotaur

[flint saddle]

Neutron Cannon absolutely deletes Brood Mother Holy shit

[naive ocean]

Love that weapon

[flint saddle]

One shot and her armors Gone

[grand mica]

personally i find the scatter blaster to be way more effective than the neutron cannon

[flint saddle]

5 more shots and shes dead

[flint saddle]

HOW? I TRIED USING SKATTER AND ITS NOTHING COMPARED TO NEUTRON CANNON

[elder yarrow]

I rather like that exosuit, but how much the tech do we get for it in the expedition?

[grand mica]

you get 3 S-class cannon upgrades

all you honestly need

[flint saddle]

I was able to Take on 2 brood mothers at once with Neutron Cannon :3 they dont exist any more

[elder yarrow]

what about the upgrades (like the hardframe, etc)?

[grand mica]

i prefer not having to recharge my gun in the middle of a battle, i also find it quicker to kill the bugs by simply clicking multiple times rather than charge-up weapons

the neutron cannon also feels weak to me
idk why but it does

[flint saddle]

Neutron doesnt need to charge fully, its spammable, aswell i think you need better tech on it if its needing to be recharged so quickly for you cause ive yet to need toreally recharge and ive been through a sentinel battle, 3 brood mothers, and 4 Bio Horrors

[grand mica]

hm

perhaps i should give the neutron another try alongside the scatter

[flint saddle]

Mhm mhm neutron is also good mid range and long range so if your close range scatter is good, i prefer mid to long range

[elder yarrow]

eh... my staff that i'm too stubbron to get rid of works rather well for the bolt caster with it's super charged pattern

[flint saddle]

Switch that with neutron and you with liquify anything you blast

[elder yarrow]

I don't think the Neutron Cannon has enough mods to make this work:

[flint saddle]

No but it can still fit it in all four and have 1 extra to connect them

[elder yarrow]

this works just fine for most everything i'm doing XD

[flint saddle]

The voices call for Neutron Cannon

[plush onyx]

Is there a way to take items from the expedition to my main save without ending the expedition?

[flint saddle]

Ngl its so funny im so pro Neutron now when im originally a pulse spitter main

Spray and pray babyyyy

[reef arrow]

hey. is the community quest progress slow in comparison to expeditions or average?

[elder yarrow]

so if i'm understanding the expedition right, sounds like the tech i want to bring in should be the minotaur movement tech

[dusky oracle]

can we stay in expedition world even though we completed all phases and missions?

[reef arrow]

honestly there is only one mission that requires the mech so I wouldnt prioritize that

[reef arrow]

yes, you have the choice of ending the expeditiion and transfering over stuff now or keeping it open but being unable to transfer items while on the file

[dusky oracle]

ok thank you

so how do I transfer the items while in that world

[elder yarrow]

it's done at the anomaly when you get ready to end the expedition

[reef arrow]

but yeah you have to end the expedition in order to transfer

[plush onyx]

If I exit the expedition on my main save, can I still receive the community goal rewards?

I wanted to take some important items from my expedition inventory but I don't really see any way to do it other than exiting

and then probably just do 150 daily kills on another expedition save

[dusky oracle]

gotcha thx

question about purple mist, showing on the galaxy map that is in another system but only showing next dropzone, do I have to go there first to find the corrupted sentinels?

[elder yarrow]

you can switch between the expedition and main save without completing it, and to resume you need to be at the anomaly in the main save

[grizzled python]

Does the anomaly spawn in expedition and can I not make a portal for a base in expedition?

[naive ocean]

The anomaly will be accessible after warping out of the starting system for the first time. If you want to build a portal at your base, you may need to purchase the blueprint for salvaged data aboard the anomaly

[grizzled python]

I did warp out of there but I cant find it

[naive ocean]

Should be able to summon it with your quick action menu

[grizzled python]

ah okay thank you

[craggy echo]

Uh so lost in space triggered during expedition. I don’t think I can do it whilst on expedition? The door won’t unseal

[naive ocean]

Thats a derelict freighter mission correct? There should be a terminal right next to the door to open it

Unless im misremembering, its been a while since ive done one

[craggy echo]

Yea it’s my first derelict freighter. Door wouldn’t unseal - i kept selecting unseal door at the terminal and nothing.

Ended up leaving the derelict freighter in the end 🤷‍♂️

Also with the first freighter rescue mission. I can’t recall the method to getting a good freighter. Do I keep declining until I get an S class?

[naive ocean]

Yea if u wanna get it for free

[golden remnant]

Guys what's the system name for the 4th drop zone? I need to go back to that system but I don't remember the name

[plush onyx]

where can i check the liquidation progress?

nvm i figured it out

[indigo falcon]

all system names and info are pinned in here

[indigo falcon]

ods needs to be connected in order to see the current progress though

[plush onyx]

idk the bot works

[upbeat mauve]

is the 12.0 predator objective still bugged

[plush onyx]

#bot-spam check i used it there

[indigo falcon]

yes, my guess is probably related to ods too

[upbeat mauve]

wdym

[plush onyx]

will I be able to get the community goal rewards if I leave the expedition early?

[indigo falcon]

hg sometimes adjusts things on expedtion planets specifically for the expedition, so they differ from the procgen values a little; if that was the case here, you wouldn't get the right predator values for critters. this is a guess as to what's going on, not a sure thing

[indigo falcon]

yes for quicksilver, same as on any regular save

[plush onyx]

oh

sentinel kills count towards the goal right?

all things considered I'm not sure we'll be able to get all the goals done at this pace

[indigo falcon]

sentinels, biohorrors and bugs, afaik

the sentinels have the nice side effect of giving you salv glass which means nanites nanites and more nanites, so that's my preferred contribution

[plush onyx]

how do you transform salvaged glass into nanites?

[indigo falcon]

open them, collect all the upgrades, sell at the space station

[dusky oracle]

where I can find dissonant world?

[granite ridge]

In dissonant systems, shown in map

[plush onyx]

you could.. open them?

[dusky oracle]

galaxy map?

[plush onyx]

i have 107 hours in this game..

[indigo falcon]

4th drop zone system has one

[granite ridge]

[E] in inventory

[plush onyx]

i just thought they were sentinel junk all this time..

[dusky oracle]

oh ok I will check discoveries, thanks

[indigo falcon]

very valuable sentinel junk. can give you upgrades, various craftables, and sentinel boundary maps too

[plush onyx]

i.. need some time to process the amount of nanites I've thrown away

[indigo falcon]

eh just go shoot another 50 sentinels. Do Your Part!

[plush onyx]

yup I'll be back.. gotta find a nice corner to cry in

[plush onyx]

yessir

i think it'd be kinda nice if a lot of us gather and just collectively slaughter whatever we find

[indigo falcon]

I'm sure there are player groups doing that very thing already

this expd is kind of made for it

[plush onyx]

i unfortunately only have 1 friend that plays nms

and i only managed to make him start yesterday

so he's going through the learning phase now

[indigo falcon]

well this runs 6 weeks so there's time!

[plush onyx]

yupyup

[dusky oracle]

this dissonant world is so creepy..

[elder yarrow]

are we going to be getting the liquidator parts as expedition rewards in the main save?

[indigo falcon]

you can get those for quicksilver later

[plush onyx]

what happens with my frighter when I finish the expedition? Since I already have one on my main save

[dusky oracle]

is quicksilver purchaseable with real life money?

[plush onyx]

no there are no microtransactions in nms afaik

[dusky oracle]

oh ok

[plush onyx]

even though we want to give them money 😭

[elder yarrow]

expedition freighter doesn't trasnfer to main save

[plush onyx]

ok ty

[indigo falcon]

you don't carry it over

[naive ocean]

Can get it from nexus missions

[plush onyx]

is there a limit to the number of items I can bring from my expedition when I exit?

[elder yarrow]

yes, similar to what you brought in

[indigo falcon]

8 tech, 24 other

[dusky oracle]

ok

[plush onyx]

oh

and the nanites/units carry automatically no?

[elder yarrow]

i'm asking questions while brewing up a bunch of stasis cells XD

yes, they do

[indigo falcon]

items that you can't take back with yuo are converted to units/nanites and those are transferred over

[plush onyx]

never had so many nanites at once, not even on my main save lol
and this is the expedition save

[elder yarrow]

FYI if you have a ship or multitool that isn't the one in your save, you can use the expedition to duplicate tech that is painful or otherwise tedious to get a hold of

[indigo falcon]

and you'll have even more soon, now you know the secret 😄

[plush onyx]

And I could've had double that if I didn't delete like 50 salvaged glass..

[elder yarrow]

imma gonna scrap my ship (again) and get like 100M credits for it XD

[dusky oracle]

I have to learn to do that

[sacred mirage]

Is there any method to kill a sentinel walker again on the same planet?

[elder yarrow]

i've got a maxed out S class fighter, so when i scrap it on the save (cause it's going to get deleted anyhow) it generates a lot of valueable junk

[elder yarrow]

Patience, then pick another fight with the sentinels

[indigo falcon]

savve-exit-reload and the sentinels will be back.

or just save-reload really

[sacred mirage]

I'll try it

[plush onyx]

what can you do with hardframe engines?

[indigo falcon]

nothing outside of the Trace of Metal quest

[elder yarrow]

IMO hardframes looks better than default minotaur

[granite ridge]

Yet I have 40 hard frames stored on my main save -.-

[elder yarrow]

oh... the parts...

[plush onyx]

what about pugneum? what's the best use for it?

[elder yarrow]

they get used to repair the minotaur, otherwise check wiki

[indigo falcon]

pugnuem can be used for launch fuel for the sentinel interceptor ships

[elder yarrow]

crafting material (check wiki), can be used for repair and IIRC a fuel for the sentinel interceptor, but otherwise mix with atlantium

[grand mica]

can also be crafted into nanites but the ratio is 25 pug = 1 nanite cluster so unless u like farming sentinels it aint rly worth it (tbf no method of making nanite clusters in a refiner is worth it honestly)

[elder yarrow]

that's why you stick it in a refiner with atlantium at a 1:1 rate, much better efficiency and atlantium is easy to get a hold of

[plush onyx]

is this bugged? because it's definitely not only 50 individual kills lol

[plush onyx]

can I just use my atlantedium for that if I don't plan on making scepters?

or whatever it was used for

[granite ridge]

It's no real counter, only states that you're eligible for that milestone reward (once unlocked)

[radiant bobcat]

i made sure to copy my expedition multitool as soon as i got back on my main save

[elder yarrow]

yeah, it's an easy enough material to come by... but i'd still sit on like a stack of it just in case

[indigo falcon]

you won't see more than 50 shown for you. don't worry about it. also, with ods down most of the time, people's contributions are likely not being uploaded properly either. we'll see once it stabilizes someday

[plush onyx]

so there is a chance that some kills are pointless?

[radiant bobcat]

to put it best

its kinda like hell divers

but smaller

ur kills do benefit

[indigo falcon]

if you shoot more than X a day (guesses about this number have been made but we don't know for sure) then they won't count to the milestone

[radiant bobcat]

but very little

[plush onyx]

we don't know the number? so 150 is just a guess then?

[indigo falcon]

afaik it is not confirmed.

[plush onyx]

a stack? u mean 9999?

[elder yarrow]

sorry, i play on survival, and that's 1k

[plush onyx]

ooh ok

[elder yarrow]

like 500-1k or so

[plush onyx]

that's good then

i got like 6k

[elder yarrow]

i'm on a very mature save where i basically have infinite resources, and that's one of the few that i don't have a farm for... but it's easy enough to come by that i'm not going to stress out over it

[plush onyx]

uhh shouldn't it be giving nanites?

[elder yarrow]

no, it gives mold,but mold is like 5:1 for nanites

[plush onyx]

oh

[elder yarrow]

it's far more efficient than just straight pugnium

[plush onyx]

that's fair

[wraith junco]

Horror eggs and worm loot also gives nanites

[indigo falcon]

don't forget the hadal cores from the alluring specimens

but the upgrades from the salv glass are te most efficient for this expd I think, since you are supposed to be mass decimating things anyways

[plush onyx]

am i safe to leave refiners running in the freighter while I leave to go on a planet in the same system?

[tardy crow]

Yea

Should be

[indigo falcon]

no, >I would never leave refiners going, especially on freighters. babysit or risk losing the items

[plush onyx]

do large refiners cap at 4095?

[indigo falcon]

that sounds right, don't remember for sure though

[plush onyx]

yeah i was confused but that seems to be it

[upbeat fulcrum]

refiners in freighters are buggy .... items disappear and sometimes reappear a restart or 2 later again. Never seen this on planetary base refiners.

[elder yarrow]

10 stasis devices ought to cover me for cash within the expedition, right?

[plush onyx]

yea but they look cool tho

[elder yarrow]

eh, i work from the freighter refiner cause the layout is easy for me to maneuver in, and it was dead simple to setup

[plush onyx]

and it looks cool

!!

[wraith junco]

I didint even spend like 1 mil when doing expedition but you do you

[plush onyx]

i'm not spending anything because I want it all back on my main save, not one damn penny other than for the microprocessors in the beginning

[upbeat fulcrum]

A slot in the transfer terminal can hold 100 stasis devices ... why only use a part of the slot? 😁

[dusky oracle]

whats that transfer terminal?

[elder yarrow]

eh, i can make them easy enough, and that's an option that sometimes helps

[upbeat fulcrum]

that terminal where you start the expedition in the anomaly ...

[dusky oracle]

oh ok but the slot is not that many?

[vast stump]

metamorphosis refuses to complete what am i doing wrong?

oh i see i think i have to scan them before i crush it

[dusky oracle]

whats the best planet to do timbre wolf mission, phase 5

[upbeat fulcrum]

terminal slots are sized like frighter slots ...

[vast stump]

oh i’m dum. you have to crush the one in your inventory my bad. nvm got it.

[indigo falcon]

any of the drop zone planets will do tbh

[dusky oracle]

Thanks

[lament fiber]

How to start expedition

[main eagle]

Make a new save or travel to the anomaly

[lament fiber]

I recently started this game

[lament fiber]

Ok

[lament fiber]

Lol... breathing manually 🤣

[sleek siren]

I'm doing my part

[dusky oracle]

If we found a ship in expedition area, can we bring it to main save?

[hidden cedar]

Not unless it's a ship you unlock in the expedition, of which this one does not have.

To my knowledge.

[granite ridge]

should be: make it active, switch to main save, copy at the exp terminal

[sleek siren]

Or if you started a new save for the expedition, you will keep going with everything ofc

using copy method you can also bring multiple, as long as you have the nanites

[hidden cedar]

Oh yeah, forgot that exists. I took a major break until recently, so I'm not that familiar with the new way of doing expeditions.

Cool that you can transfer things across though.

[low light]

Sure wish ODS would work so I can contribute to these community goals..

[indigo falcon]

you can shoot things, the contributions just won't be properly registered until ods connects again

[full pewter]

If I turn my internet off and on again I can connect for a few seconds 😂

[indigo falcon]

lovely...

[radiant bobcat]

chat if u guys are struggling wit the 6000 nanite thing

just do a mission from the nexus

😭

[manic path]

How do I find aggressive creatures

I’ve search multiple systems

[thick umbra]

Check the 📌

[drowsy raven]

Use chatGPT lol that helped me

[manic path]

I have no idea how to check pins on mobile

[granite ridge]

And create a save before you scan one of the creatures

[drowsy raven]

You can duplicate Nanites

[manic path]

Found it

So where do I find that creature

[snow ruin]

#nms-expedition message

[manic path]

Back to eardog I go

And thank you

[full pewter]

Eardog reminds me of all the updog stuff

[snow ruin]

What's updog? ;P

[manic path]

And of course the starter planet is named eardog sigma

I almost spat out water I was drinking when I saw it

I cannot find this stupid fish

[wanton frigate]

I couldn't find the eel on Eardog either. Yes I did look in the water. Found a predator in the end but it was after I got a bit lost, so it's a system somewhere on a 100LY-range jump path from Eardog to Dropzone 2 with a Dissonant world in it. I realise that's no help at all.

[manic path]

Your speaking numbers my guy

[wanton frigate]

But just keep visiting crappy planets and scanning stuff, it'll all work out 🙂 And in the mean time, Do Your Part.

[indigo falcon]

I am just now reading the patch notes again, having nearly completed the expedition, and seeing that it has "custom-balanced swarm combat", I wonder what that means

[manic path]

Did it make em weaker?

Cause they were already kinda weak

I landed on a corrosive planet

My thinking is

If something lives here it’ll be aggressive and dangerous

[indigo falcon]

I imagine some hostiles have been made tougher, that's how the sentence read to me

[manic path]

To a forsaken planet

WAIT THIS HAS LOWER GRAVITY

I DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT WAS POSSIBLE

[snow ruin]

Hope you get a gravity storm

[manic path]

I left

No life

[indigo falcon]

awww

low grav worlds are fun little places

[manic path]

But I might live there

[radiant bobcat]

i wonder

[manic path]

It was honestly nice

[radiant bobcat]

if u have enough jet pack power

[indigo falcon]

nice for collecting whispering eggs too

[radiant bobcat]

u can reach into space

[manic path]

It had rings I could fly though

I HAVE TO TRY THAT

after this planet I’ll head back

[radiant bobcat]

like get a maxxed out jet pack

and just

go up

bc u can fall from a freighter to a planet

[manic path]

Ye

[radiant bobcat]

can u go from a planet into space???

[indigo falcon]

I don't think so, falling "up" is not a thing 😉

[manic path]

I could get a sentinel ship

[wanton frigate]

If you built a platform high enough - like those stairways to heaven people had for getting the "look at the stars" milestone in Exp13 when playing on VR - and had enough Jetpack mods and low enough gravity - could you break orbit? Do a Mario Galaxy and jump from a moon to it's parent planet?

[manic path]

There is a dissonance in this system

[wanton frigate]

Do - the starting ship is dirt, I picked up a sentinel and my jump range septupled.

[manic path]

Fair

[wanton frigate]

Or even just sell it, they're still a good return on time investment given they don't come with systems or storage damage

[hushed dew]

I think I uploaded a base when I found 1 Idk if it shows up on the anomaly or anything though but it was in the 4th meet up point

[indigo falcon]

the problem is that we need ods to be working in order to get info about player bases...

[manic path]

I just had to murder a sentinel ship

Like the entire thing

Took a lot of sodium for shield

This ship is ass

[hardy mesa]

how should i go about getting 900 resource in one blast lol

[hushed dew]

That's how I found it too

[hushed dew]

Plants and rocks don't let your beam overheat

[hardy mesa]

just one continuous blast?

[hushed dew]

Yeah

Other people have apparently completed it by using thier ship and shooting the floor but aslong as the beam doesn't overheat or fully cooldown it counts as 1

[manic path]

What was the name of the base

[hushed dew]

Dissonance planet

[snow ruin]

I did it by preparing stuff that was close together. Make them almost fully mined, then when you have enough lined up you just finish mining them all in one go

[manic path]

Oh

[indigo falcon]

I found a bunch of carbon plants (look kind of like smooth rocks) in a cave entrance and shooting those ,you can ease up on the beam momentarily to keep it form overheating and the counter will still go up. just note that the counter goes up more slowly than the actual number of resources you gather, so watch the counter!

[jagged sedge]

I did it by finding an under water group of the big pulsating plant things, zapped around 1100 cyto phosphate from them

[manic path]

I got a echo locator

I entered my freighter to not have to fight the sentinels again

I just hope for a good ship

[indigo falcon]

free sentinel ship, woo! you can either ditch that hauler or get a ton of units for the new rig... show us pics if you keep it

[manic path]

I’m going to ditch the hauler

I normally like explorers

But I won’t mind a fighter either

[jagged sedge]

I would like explorers more if the tooltips weren't constantly blocking the speed indicator

[manic path]

Fair

In my main save

I have a s tier custom wxploeer

I use it for everything

[jagged sedge]

Why did it have to be over there

[manic path]

7 13 2

I got a ugly one

But I’ll still use it

Did I just do what I think I did

I got anotherbdissonese spike

[indigo falcon]

oh nice! welp, another free ship, this one for units (unless the class is better)

[manic path]

True

Could get a nice explorer with the money

I just need some radiant shards

[indigo falcon]

not like those are hard to get

[manic path]

True

My both the ships are on mountains without shards

Alright this one is c class

Back to the other one

I think it despawned because of this one

Oh well

So this ship doesn’t look bad when it’s flying but when it’s grounded it looks bad

I’m just happy I can charge this thing with shards and pungeum

[silver forge]

this is so stupid, spent 2 hours and cant find 12 pav

[manic path]

Pav?

[wraith badge]

Starting planet in the water

[indigo falcon]

the apex predator milestone

[manic path]

Ohhhh

Yeah I havnt got that one yet either

I got distracted by a sentinel ship

[wraith badge]

or check the pins

[indigo falcon]

scan the eel on the starter planet, if it doesn't register, it's bugged for you and probably related to buggy ods (imo), do other milestones for now and report it

[manic path]

Could I crush a juicy grub in the anomaly

And if so what would happen

[indigo falcon]

I did it in a space station and nothing happened except I wasted a grub.

[valid roost]

Yh so I just wanna check but do you have to kill bugs, horrors and sentinels inside nexus missions to add to the counter or can it js be any point as long as its 150?

[indigo falcon]

it was really juicy too

[manic path]

Oh

[indigo falcon]

any as long as it's the expd save

[valid roost]

Not much rlly, tried it in a space station

[valid roost]

Alr thanks

[manic path]

Wanna see the ship I got?

[indigo falcon]

yep!

[granite ridge]

20pav animal on tropical one system before dropzone 3, while ods was unavailable https://i.imgur.com/sZF2k6X.png

[manic path]

It looks ok when flying

The top things go farther out

What should I name it

[indigo falcon]

please get a pic if you can of the system and its distance from dropzone 3 in he galaxy map, along with the imgur pic, post them here, then we can pin it

[indigo falcon]

red buzzard

[manic path]

Got it

[hardy mesa]

whats the easiest way to get an echo locator on the expedition save?

[manic path]

Breaking the drill things

Then running into your freighter to not have to fight sentinels

Or the anomaly

Any station works

[indigo falcon]

honestly? dissonant resonators I guess. and the ones that don't drop that, they give inverted mirrors which you need anyways

[hardy mesa]

Guess I just haven’t found a dissonant system yet

[manic path]

I got enough nanites lemme go get some upgraded for this ship

[indigo falcon]

drop zone 4 system is one

[manic path]

Now I don’t need antimatter for fueling

It’s great

I can go to one planet

Get times of shard

And each shard is 100% fuel instead of 25

[indigo falcon]

just slap some hyperdrive upgrades in there, get you more bang for your buck

[manic path]

Ye

I want more maneuverability too

Cause it ain’t that good ok this one

On*

[indigo falcon]

gotta be better than the hauler 😄 but I take your point

[manic path]

My hyperdrive range is already better

And my hauler had hyper drive upgraded

[indigo falcon]

you can move the hyperdrive upgrades to the sentinel ship you know

[manic path]

I can?

How

[indigo falcon]

package tech. switch ships. install tech.

[wraith junco]

Interceptors are op

[manic path]

Wdym by package

OHHHH

HOW DID I NEVER KNOW THIS

[indigo falcon]

so you can do this with any tech (except ones you can't remove like um mining beam from mt)

[manic path]

SO MUCH TIME WASTED

GOD DAMN IT

[indigo falcon]

hover over the tech in the slot, it will ...

give you instructions... (said in a very small voice)

[topaz notch]

joining up on my first expedition, what items would you guys recommend on my starting loadout? Im assuming:
weapon (neutron cannon) mods, Mining Mods, Infraknifre mods?
sodium, oxygen, ferrite, carbon, copper, di-hydrogen, wiring loom, anything else you guyscan recommend?

does it matter much or am i overthinking?

[manic path]

Tritium

Or just gather a ton

That’s what I did at the start

I got like 1k

[topaz notch]

oh yep i got a fair pile of those too. thank you

[indigo falcon]

you can't get aything until after you reach the anomaly. to speed things along you could bring some upgrades to sell for nanites, some items to sell for units, whatever else looks good, check the milestones in here pinned (and note the rewards given), then decidel

[snow ruin]

You mostly get what you need for the expedition through the expedition.

[manic path]

I think a person in my system got a sentinel ship too

They have the same one

[indigo falcon]

you will be able to buy ferrite, wiring looms, chrom metal or copper...

[topaz notch]

How far in the expedition do I unlock the ability to copy my main weapon and ship? is that also by reaching the anomaly?

Do i copy my units and nanite from main save or I have to sell and make new currency in there?

[granite ridge]

like so?

[manic path]

I can bring over weapons and ships?

[indigo falcon]

yes at the anomaly terminal but 2800 nanites or so for a copy of an Sclass ship, similar for mt, so bear that in m ind

[topaz notch]

oh ok thats fine i have 6k nanites farmed up

in my main save. hopefully that carries over

[manic path]

THERE ARE 3 OF THE SAME SENTINEL SHIP

[mossy herald]

What % is phase 1 on currently? Last I checked it was around 50%

[indigo falcon]

so now a post (not a reply to me) that is: the image of the star system by itself, then the image of the critter, so two images in the same message, right? and a text line saying what it is, i.e. apex predator on world X in system Y Z ly away from drop zone whatever system

[manic path]

53%

[indigo falcon]

then I can ask someone to pin that

[indigo falcon]

if you start the expedition from an existing save, you can copy the active ship / mt from that save into the expd version of the save, for nanites, via the anomaly terminal

[manic path]

Oh

I did a new save

[indigo falcon]

no transfer for you! 😛

[mossy herald]

53% lame. Almost a week in and it's not even close.
Wonder if we will even get each 5 phases done at this rate

[manic path]

Eh

All is would have brought would be my explorer

[wraith badge]

I seeing 58%

[indigo falcon]

have faith in hg and in the community, we've done this several times before and it's always worked out. remember too that ods is buggy and progress is likely not recorded well

[woeful niche]

When does the day start for the kill cap? My local day? GMT?

[indigo falcon]

I am gonna guess the same time of day that the weekend mission goes live, a fixed time for everyone. but that is only a guess

[wraith junco]

Its a safe guess

[woeful niche]

Do you know what time that is? Assuming it's the same every week

[wraith badge]

someone mentioned midnight no idea if that's BST or GMT

[indigo falcon]

something like 6 pm. gmt, I could be off an hour in one direction or the other (edited!!)

[woeful niche]

Thanks.

[manic path]

My hyperdrive range is 1100

My ship is pretty good now

I want infra knife as a weapon tho

I only got rockets and the basic one

[wanton frigate]

so trade in some salvage at the Anomaly and buy the Infraknife. And the beam + upgrade so you can become Space Dracula to your enemies's shields.

[oblique lichen]

Tranfering items back to my main save?

[manic path]

Eh I’ll get the knife later

I’m out of nanites because of upgrades

So I can wait

[topaz notch]

when you put resources in the expedition terminal are they "copied" or removed from your main save and put in the expedition save?

[wanton frigate]

Removed far as I know.

[granite ridge]

20 pav Apex predator on planet Sigate XII in System Jeangq-Nog, 103LY from Rudoin-Blosa (Dropzone 3)

Update: I forgot to upload my scans for that whole system.

If changes to those affect expedition characters as well, take note these current names:

System: still Jeangq-Nog
Planet: JiaRan
Predator: Terrorium Maxima

[topaz notch]

ok thank you.

[wanton frigate]

You're making them available to your Expedition self. And afterwards you can send them back if it's something like a launch recharger.

[manic path]

Heading there now

[wanton frigate]

Sooner or later though, you'll start using that box as more ghetto storage. You can never have enough space cupboards

[indigo falcon]

I've asked that this be pinned, when someone is around, it will be, tysm!

[granite ridge]

alrighty

[manic path]

I’ve checked around the thing and I havnt found it yet

[topaz notch]

any recommendation for item to target for making nanites? the purple upgrades from salvage glass?

[manic path]

How close is it to the dropnplace

[granite ridge]

it's one system before drop 3

[indigo falcon]

if you can get a stack of such upgrades, then yes, that's a great idea.

[topaz notch]

yeah been hunting sentinels in my main save so i have a bunch i can open. thanks!

[manic path]

That’s more helpful

Thank you

I scanned it but it didn’t complete the challenge

[granite ridge]

load the last autosave to rollback to before you scanned it and try later/again, if possible

[manic path]

It already autosaved

Does it sometimes just not work?

[granite ridge]

yeah, there's many that fail to complete that milestone. with several animals that worked for others

[manic path]

Well fuck

Gonna go search random systems now

[indigo falcon]

sigh

[manic path]

Wait

I have a dissonance spike in a random system

wtf

[indigo falcon]

well go visit it!

[manic path]

Well obviously

[indigo falcon]

let's see what you get! enquiring minds want to know

[manic path]

Maybe this is the other ship

That I just lost

When getting my ship

Nope

The moon it’s on is undiscovered

I’m actually confused

Maybe this is nms of saying sorry for not finishing the quest

Alright need a inverted mirror

I SEE A VOLCANO

[indigo falcon]

this play by play is spellbinding, ngl

and now the suspense is killing me

[manic path]

the ship is different

[crimson trail]

Can you claim a ship you find in an expedition on your main save?

[manic path]

So that’s good

[indigo falcon]

if you started the expedition from your main save, you get a chance to make a copy of the active ship back on the main save, for some nanites

[manic path]

I GOT A B CLASS

that’s better than the other one

I like this one way better

[indigo falcon]

excellent! now... move over the upgrades (!)

and then sell sell sell!

[manic path]

Doing that rn

[crimson trail]

Sorry I meant, if I find a better ship during the expedition, can I port it back over to the main save?

[manic path]

I wanna see how much it’s worth first

If it isn’t worth that much

Than I’m keeping it

[indigo falcon]

that's what I'm saying: make the one you want to keep, the active ship, before ending the expd. when you end it, you'll have the option to make a copy of it on the main save, assuming you started the expd from that save.

[livid locust]

Man I am having a hard time finding a vicious creature

[indigo falcon]

if you started the expd from a new save, you don't get that possibility, instead the new save converts to a normal save with all items and ship/mt kept.

[manic path]

Once this event is over

This save will be my main save

[crimson trail]

oh sorry, I got confused >.>

[indigo falcon]

check th epins, try those ones, if they are not working then it is bugged for you, as for many players... report, and do other milestones for now

[crimson trail]

ty:)

[livid locust]

Oh wow didn’t know there was bugs

[indigo falcon]

um.

[snow ruin]

There's also a creature on the first planet: #nms-expedition message
It's not been pinned AFAIK
Well, now it's been pinned XD

[indigo falcon]

that's kind of the theme of this expedition 😆

[manic path]

Well I will say

They expledition

Is full of bugs

Nah Jk it’s fine

And fun

[indigo falcon]

5 brood mothers (minimum) plus the one you spawn from the juicy grub, plus all the offspring. yup chock full of 'em

[manic path]

Alright lemme get a picture of the new ship

Its name is crimson

But I wanna change it

Cause it’s yellow

Not red

[snow ruin]

Bumblebee

[manic path]

That works

Black and yellow so ye

[indigo falcon]

or wasp

or 'stinger'

[manic path]

Fair

I like wasp

And because most sentinel ships have a letter and a dash before it

B-Wasp

[snow ruin]

Do it with β ;P

[manic path]

That’s just a double s

[indigo falcon]

it is not.

αβγ

[manic path]

In my German class

That’s what the teacher said

[snow ruin]

β vs ß

[manic path]

Ah

To be fair they look the same

[snow ruin]

It's "beta"

[manic path]

Ohhhhhh

Yeah that’s good

I’ll change it in a sec

[snow ruin]

Greek letters

[manic path]

I was like

Why a German letter

Alright the red buzzard is sold

It was worth 16.4 million

[indigo falcon]

bye bye

c class?

[manic path]

Yep

The wasp in b class

Maybe next one will be a class lol

[indigo falcon]

maybe!

[manic path]

Wait

Does Helios give a emergency signal scanner every day

Or every week

[craggy echo]

can I sell the historical document I receive as expedition reward?

[snow ruin]

I think I did, so I think it's fine to do yes

[eager shore]

shoot i sold it for units lol

[manic path]

I did too

What is it for?

[indigo falcon]

once a week

[manic path]

Well that’s still 1 million every week

Not worth it tho

I’m go do it to get nanites

[indigo falcon]

the historical doc is intended to be sold, or you can keep it as a collector's item, that's all

[manic path]

Oh ok

Happy I sold it then

After this I’ll get more shards

For fuel

[manic path]

All looted

I got a lot of upgrades

[tepid grove]

!tier

COMMUNITY RESEARCH

Current tier

█░░░░░░░░░ 1/5

Tier 1 progress

██████░░░░ 58%

Site not responding Accurate as of 2 hrs 19 min ago

[manic path]

And I have way to much ammo

I have over 10k

A few hours ago I checked

Like yesterday I think

I’m pretty sure it said 53

So 5% a day

Uh oh

[indigo falcon]

I uh have almost two stacks of ammo, it's kind of disturbing

[manic path]

Yeah

[snow ruin]

Check the percentages it shows on the other tiers. It doesn't seem to actually be linear

[manic path]

And I only use the shotgun

[manic path]

Ohhhhhh

[indigo falcon]

yeah I've been all about the scatterblaster, as usual

[manic path]

It’s a pretty good weapon

And you start with it

[eager shore]

my fav weapon is the shotgun and pulse spitter, only weapons ive ever needed

[lost sphinx]

I didn't think you could progress the other tiers until the first one was completed.

[manic path]

I can get the knife now too

Sick

I bought the phase beam too

[snow ruin]

If it was linear as implied by #nms-expedition message (you can go back to the actual person that found it through the link in the linked message) then 58% of T1 would mean T2 would be 29%, T3 would be 19%, T4 would be 15%. The last I checked T2 was at 36% and T3 was at 22%

[manic path]

I don’t speak smart

[snow ruin]

They're cumulative, so each tier is just more added to the previous tier. Try clicking twice on the community goal to get the overview of several tiers

[indigo falcon]

hm maybe I'll do that in the evening, ods permitting 😛

[lost sphinx]

Ohhh
I see the percentages on the other tiers now

[manic path]

What?

[indigo falcon]

check the other tiers

[manic path]

Oh

I found a violent plant

Planet

That should hopefully work for the quest

And it has a dissonance

So I can get shards

[indigo falcon]

shards are good, maybe you get another ship too 😄

[manic path]

I’ll try

I also got a gravitino ball

Cause of weather

[indigo falcon]

because of the weather? wut?

[manic path]

Idk

It’s a violent planet

Idk how they spawn

[indigo falcon]

doesn't matter... grav balls aren't weather related

[manic path]

I think I’m thinking of storm crystals

[indigo falcon]

now a storm crystal can be caused by a lightning strike. that's different

[sand marlin]

Finally got my apex predator. Apparently I shouldn't have left the starter system. Iawshea-Yook Cycler system, Planet Waff XVI, one of the underwater fauna. I did check the ones in the pins, but they didn't get it for me.

[indigo falcon]

dissonant worlds and aggro sentinel worlds have grav balls, that's it (oh and ancient ruins with treasures you can exhume, those sometimes have them)

[manic path]

Oh ok

[snow ruin]

That doesn't sound like the starter system ;P

[manic path]

Btw

[indigo falcon]

no, it's the drop zone 1 system

[manic path]

What does it mean wall of flame detected

[indigo falcon]

it means you're about to get a firestorm and very hot feet

[manic path]

Oh ok

[indigo falcon]

like third degree burn hot if you actually step in the flames
