[manic path]

I hate being in the ocean

Expecially alien ones

[indigo falcon]

um... ok but it's so bulky and has such crap maneuverability

oh well, it's your funeral 😛

[manic path]

So I’m at it

Now what

[naive ocean]

Touch tha balls

[indigo falcon]

pick up the glowing orbs one at a time until you hear the sound

[manic path]

I have to go out of the mech?

[indigo falcon]

unless you can pick them up in the mech

[manic path]

Fuck

[indigo falcon]

(told ya 😛 )

[manic path]

So what sound

[indigo falcon]

you'll know

also the rest of the orbs will disappear

[snow ruin]

👻

[indigo falcon]

to be replaced by.....

[manic path]

Don’t say it

I don’t wanna know

The shit I do

[indigo falcon]

... for democracy 😛 😄

[manic path]

WHAT THE RUCK

[indigo falcon]

hahahahaha

[manic path]

THE MECH BROKE IT

[indigo falcon]

PRICELESS

[manic path]

IT DIDNT EVEN SPAWN

THE MECH BROKE IT

[high canyon]

do i need to stay on the exo save to get the community rewards?

[indigo falcon]

time to find a new one

[manic path]

GOD DAMN IT

[indigo falcon]

yes but no. to get them for free, yes. to get them later for quicksilver (account-wide unlock), no.

[high canyon]

lame

[manic path]

Found one

[high canyon]

but cool

thanks

[manic path]

HOLY SHIT

[indigo falcon]

ahahahahaha

[manic path]

I thought it would take a second

And I could get into my mech

[indigo falcon]

shoot it! shoot it!

[manic path]

It pushed me the fuck away

I killed it

[indigo falcon]

one down, two to go

[manic path]

This is why I hate the ocean

[strong dawn]

Anyone check yet if the patch today fixed the Apex Predator completion? Hasn't hit xbox yet so can't check.

[indigo falcon]

it's not in the patch notes.

[manic path]

After updating it worked fine for me h the o

Tho*

[indigo falcon]

but however. ods is on line or it was for a good chunk of time. soooooo

[strong dawn]

Thank you.

[naive ocean]

Just so u know, dont bother with the specimens in caves, the horror will bug out and get stuck in the walls

[manic path]

There’s caves?

Didn’t plan on it anyway

I also hate caves in alien games

[indigo falcon]

in the ocean? yep.

[manic path]

I’m shaking

[indigo falcon]

two to go

[manic path]

I know

The cool thing is

My ship on the top is a pretty good boat shape

Found one

[dusky oracle]

how do I get wiring loom?

[manic path]

I’m still using the Minotaur

[manic path]

You can buy them

[indigo falcon]

buy at space station

[dusky oracle]

ok thx

[manic path]

The Minotaur makes me feel safe

That time I jumped a bit

But easily killed it

[indigo falcon]

one to go

[manic path]

Found it

God damn it

It’s night now

[naive ocean]

O_O

[indigo falcon]

(insert twilight zone music here)

[soft pilot]

ok I'm done with expedition, so now all that's left is the community goal or whatever u call it, but i don't quite get it.

[manic path]

I killed the bitch

[indigo falcon]

kill some things, everyone else kills some things, eventually it's enough to complete the first objective

[soft pilot]

so since i started expedition, all that's been done is 73% of the 1st lvl ???

[indigo falcon]

repeat for 2, 3, etc. .(think of it like unlocking quicksilver items)

[manic path]

The cap is bad my guy

Only 150 a day

[indigo falcon]

well ods has been down much of that time so a lot of progress has been registering today

as players connect and their kills get recorded

[soft pilot]

i've already killed more than that today, or does it only count when the quest is active?

[indigo falcon]

went from 58% yesterday to 73 today

[naive ocean]

Thats nuts

[indigo falcon]

it counts always bu twon't be registered on hg end until you connect

[manic path]

Alright now I gotta find a storm

[soft pilot]

ok, wow so doing it all the way to target 5 is going to take a lot

[manic path]

Btw does moving in a Minotaur count as moving in a storm

[soft pilot]

connect to what?

[indigo falcon]

yeah it's typical that it takes a little over a week per item so you finish up everything near the end of the expd

[manic path]

Shot

Shit*

[indigo falcon]

ods (hg servers where discoveries and stuff get uploaded, also these kills)

[soft pilot]

ok u just mean reloging in game?

[indigo falcon]

no, I mean

well look at discoverytab, lower left

discovery services, it's been offlinefor days, today the last hours it's been online some

[soft pilot]

it says active now

[indigo falcon]

so you can now see player bases (a lot more), comm balls (a lot more), any changes hg made server side to lpanets/ fauna, etc etc

plus all player discoveries, you'll see those too

[narrow adder]

well i found a mould farm on the last planet but its too far from a power source. win some lose some i reckon

[soft pilot]

how do you know if you've done your quota for the day?

[lethal mirage]

you dont

[indigo falcon]

if you did 50 you did the required amount total. you can do "some" a day, to continue to bump up progress, best guess is 150 max kills a day before they don't count any more

[naive ocean]

And u can add em up in the catalog tab

[soft pilot]

yeaH IT SAYS I HAVE 50 BUT I DID WAY MORE THAN THAT

oups

[indigo falcon]

why do you need a paower source

[indigo falcon]

yeah it shows you 'did your part' see, after that it won't say how many extra you did

even if some of the extra are counted.

[soft pilot]

they get counted fpr target even if more than 50?

[indigo falcon]

yes up to some daily cap which best guess is 150

[soft pilot]

ok i'm sure i did over 150 today

[indigo falcon]

but if you want to go on a sentinel shooting spree past 150, there's no loss, I mean the salv data will turn into nanites and those will transfer back to the main save (if you started from an existing save) so it's not a waste

[soft pilot]

how does salvaged data turn into nanites?

[indigo falcon]

open them, sell any upgrades for nanites

[soft pilot]

i'm sure i used to know that but i have serious memory issues 🙂

[full pewter]

Salvaged glass

[indigo falcon]

salvaged glass, sorry. what sentinels drop

[soft pilot]

u can trade those for nanites?

[lament fiber]

Salvaged glass is fastest way to earn nanites

[indigo falcon]

so you get salvagedglass. you open it in the inventory. you get either craftables or upgrades. you sell the upgrades at the space station for nanites. you profit. a LOT.

the craftables you sell for units if you like, don't need 'em for anything else in the expd

[lament fiber]

I got 210 salvaged glass in hour...and converted it into 70000 nanites

[manic path]

Finally made a cadmium drive

[indigo falcon]

gonna go exploring?

[manic path]

Nope

Gonna walk in a storm first

[soft pilot]

ok i guess that'll give me something to do and i'll be able to upgrade my interceptor to S

[manic path]

But my places to go are cut into 1/4

[soft pilot]

needs 50k nanites

[indigo falcon]

yes you will. easy peasy

[soft pilot]

ok thanx for info 🙂

[indigo falcon]

enjoy!

[soft pilot]

i've gone through all that last year, i just forgot

[indigo falcon]

no worries, that's why we're here, to make sure you get all the goodies!

[soft pilot]

you wouldn't think i have almost 800 hrs of play time 🙂

[manic path]

FOUND A STORM

[indigo falcon]

you know what, people with hundreds of hours are still learning new things

actual new things, not just "I forgot about this"

[vast stump]

So can i do the liquidator quest on another save and it will unlock for my main save? i did the expedition on a different save file.

[indigo falcon]

well the end phase and end expd rewards will be available for all saves

[vast stump]

i just mean for the mech the optional quests?

[indigo falcon]

those will be available for quicksilver to unlock for all the other saves, like any quicksilver item

I believe that onl the expd save itself gets them for free

[soft pilot]

i have the egg to get a brood from, any way i can transfer the egg to my main save?

[vast stump]

is it possible to skip the whole unlock and just buy it for quicksilver?

[indigo falcon]

when th esave converts to normal, give it to a friend, have the friend give it to your other save

[soft pilot]

ok thanx

[vast stump]

is there any idea on when they will be available for quicksilver?

[soft pilot]

so on Sept 3rd

[dusky oracle]

where do I get storm crystal?

[manic path]

I got up to 950/u before the storm ended

[manic path]

Find a big storm

They’ll spawn there

[dusky oracle]

oh ok thx

[indigo falcon]

most extreme weather planets, but not lush ones, look for 'activated X' in the resource list, and no paraffinium

[soft pilot]

go to an extreme planet, wait a few mins for a storm, then you'll see storm crystals

they glow, easy to spot

[dusky oracle]

ok thx all

[manic path]

And they show on visit

Visor

[dusky oracle]

like a hot planet too?

[manic path]

As a lightning bolt

[indigo falcon]

hot planets, cold planets, any non lush with extreme weather may have them, most but not alldo

[dusky oracle]

ok

[manic path]

There’s a planet here just called ice ball

[craggy echo]

Ok I’m on the HAS AN APEX PREDATOR planet

But can’t find it

[manic path]

I found all but one animals there

I didn’t see it

Btw what’s morass

[indigo falcon]

I don't know which critter is the right one for that planet

morass is swamp I think

[manic path]

There’s a planet that says endless more ass

Oh ok

Now would be a good time to explore

I’ll do it after checking this system

[bold musk]

Found a golden radioactive desert planet with sandworms so I named it Arrakis

[manic path]

Is that a thing from dune?

[bold musk]

Yes.planet of spice

[manic path]

Gotcha

[weak trench]

if i warp

while refining in freighter

will the mats disappear?

[indigo falcon]

I don't think so.... but don't leave the freighter.

[dusky oracle]

is frostbound planet extreme weather too?

[manic path]

Yes

[dusky oracle]

ok

[manic path]

How do I get cadmium

Wait

Nvm found it

Didn’t see it first

[indigo falcon]

which planetary system is that?

[manic path]

I know it’s really close to the starter one

Got emirill drive now

[ashen shore]

Should I be checking misty planets for floating islands they count as paradise subtype right

[indigo falcon]

lush only I think

[manic path]

To a green place

Found my first hexagon planet

So when a planet says vile anomaly

What does it mean by that

[indigo falcon]

I think those are megaflora planets, go check

[manic path]

Idk what that means but ok

[proper flume]

What materials should I bring to the expedition mainly?

[manic path]

You don’t need to bring much

I went with nothing

I’m doing good

[proper flume]

I mean like gold....Cobalt?

[manic path]

Oh

I mean

Basic resources to get started

Maybe some trituim for fuel

Basic stuff

[full pewter]

Anything you find annoying to craft, maybe warp fuel

[remote thunder]

something to sell for nanites, something to sell for units, like others said fuels to recharge (life sup gel, ion bats, launch fuel/uranium, tritium/pyrite, warp hypercores, chromatic metal, ferrite dust, o2 - you know, the basics

[lament drum]

when is this current expedition ending?

[primal arch]

september

[lament drum]

oh nice ty

[primal arch]

do yall think it makes sense to install all the add-ons we get from the missions or should I wait to bring them over back to my main save?

[snow ruin]

You can package them up to bring back, if you absolutely want, if I'm understanding your question correctly

[primal arch]

yeah I have this S-Class movement module upgrade thing but that makes sense

[full pewter]

I kept the multitool expansion slots for my main save

[primal arch]

yeah I'm keeping the expansion slots as well, just wasn't sure what to do with the actual upgrades

[snow ruin]

You'll probably end up with better stuff soon enough anyway. But it should be no problem to pack upgrades up to bring back even if you install them. The multitool expansions and such is one thing that may make sense to bring back

[primal arch]

Yeah I forgot what I had in the main save, I know i'm pretty far along but still lmao

im just gonna package them up

can we bring pets over to the main save? i found a cute fella

[real stag]

so we have to do all the community goals for the minotaur ?

[summer kraken]

No, but any discoveries you made will carry over I believe.

So you could theoretically go to the same planet and get them again.

[summer kraken]

The parts?

Ever so slightly obvious-

It's a bit obvious innit?

[real stag]

probably

Just had to make sure

[primal arch]

will do, as soon as I figure out how

[eager shore]

after i finish all the expedition quests should i collect final phase reward or nah

i heard some saying no

[stable leaf]

How many vile brood mothers do I need to kill to get the masks??

[snow ruin]

What I've heard is you can't get that on the expedition, it has to be on a normal save.

[stable leaf]

Fml really??

[flint saddle]

HOW THE F*** DO I FINISH "BLOOD IN THE WATER"

Im thinking oh maybe its the giant anglerfish beast

But i cant find it

So now im like

WTF DO I DO

[full pewter]

I got it by killing the predator fish from the first planet

[distant knot]

Wait, what masks? First I'm hearing of masks.

[full pewter]

There's bug head customisations that drop when you kill brood mothers in normal saves

[summer nest]

Swim around until you see an alluring specimen. Swim up and loot the hadal core off the stalk, and then a monster pops out that you kill

[wintry void]

I did mine on start planet in ocean

4 times

[distant knot]

Ughh I'm way past the first planet. I still need that one too.

[tribal jay]

Is it possible to replay the expedition?

[distant knot]

That's awesome I had no idea. Wonder if there's other things in game that drop like this?

[wintry void]

Start a new save

[lucid elk]

What happens to your extra storage expansions when an expedition ends?

[tribal jay]

Oh nevermind them

Then*

I kinda hoped to be able to hop back into it just to kill things for the nanites lmfao

[lucid elk]

Should I use them all if I have a bunch or does it not make a difference? I'm assuming they just disappear

[flint saddle]

Its just counting the fish i kill

[wintry void]

Just continue on current one?

[tribal jay]

I already left the expedition on my main save

[wintry void]

Cant go back?

[tribal jay]

Doesn't seem like it

[wintry void]

Just farm nanites on main save?

[tacit gale]

Did you pick End Expedition or Return to main save (or whatever the wording was). If you picked End Expedition then it's over. The other option let's you jump back and forth.

[real stag]

I had to go to a bunch of diff planets till I could find the specimen, try exotic worlds/worlds that don't have regular biomes and look for it and grab all the angler bulbs from the alluring specimen

til one spawns atleast

Im sure u know that last part but ye

[tacit gale]

Anyone know if there is a schedule for Expedition reruns?

[zinc forge]

Does mining with the starship weapons count for that one milestone?

[real stag]

I found it in a yellow star tho so dw about needing hyperdrive upgrades

[flint saddle]

I think my games glitched then cause i finished the milestone just from killing 3 fish 🐠

[real stag]

whatever works lmao

[wintry void]

December usually

And usually only that years expeditions

[zinc forge]

Turns out it doesn’t

Or I just did it wrong

[valid roost]

Christmas and the start of the year I think, no clue what day though

[tacit gale]

Thanks, good to know. Was hoping they'd rerun all of them on a rotation every once in a while. I have missed all but two of them. So there's plenty of content I'm missing out on.

[wintry void]

Not usually. Last year, they redid exp3, but that was because we only had 3 expeditions instead of 4 last year.

They usually only last 1 week each as well

[wanton frigate]

Goals are streamlined though so it's easily achievable

[distant knot]

Anyone remember the name of the starting system? I'm several jumps in and forgot the name of it and have landed on a bunch of space stations already so not really sure. Wanna go back to it 🤔

Youre welcome guys, the moment i got on and started Doing My Part today, the percentage jumped from 83 to 84 💪

I’m helping while doing quests

I’m killing a lot of sentinels

Gotta get them walkers

Starting phase 4! It’s super fun

After this one I have 4 more things

When your doing the walkers

My strategy is go to a planet

Find a gravitino ball

And bam

Already tier 3 sentinel attack

And money

I also use the Minotaur to attack the sentinels

[faint pelican]

Can you take freighter back with you to your main save? I can’t remember if you can. I don’t have a freighter on the save I started the expedition from.

[naive ocean]

You cant

[faint pelican]

Well darn. At least it’s storage I guess. Lol

[limpid trail]

So basically no one wants to do this. It isn't just me.

[naive ocean]

Its been progressing crazy fast today

The slow progress before was due to ods being down

[valid roost]

Tbh I only do the odd slaughtering every now and then when exploring the new variations from worlds

[naive ocean]

As i type that it just changed to 85%

We might reach it today actually

[valid roost]

Saying that I've no clue what the requirements are for progressing in the community thing

[valid roost]

Holy shite at long last

[woeful niche]

Kill sentinels + monstrosities = 150 every day until Tier 5 is complete.

[valid roost]

👍

[prisma ridge]

My kills have been stuck at 50

[wraith junco]

Display bug

[valid roost]

It's just I came across this one post that was like 'youre doing it all wronggggg it's meant to be from the nexus missionssss'

Or smth like that anyway

[valid roost]

Yh it does that, but for some reason it's 150

[naive ocean]

Yea.. i dont know what thats about

Its from just playing normally

[valid roost]

And if you go over it it resets (?)

[naive ocean]

Of course nexus counts too, just not the only source

[limpid trail]

Why would it be from Nexus when it says that nowhere and people would have to just guess/luck

[valid roost]

Idk, data mining I suppose

[full sun]

50 is believed to be the minimum required to get the rewards if you come in after the goal is reached. (Which you’ll easily get just running the expedition)

[rich pewter]

bluorple is a King

[valid roost]

Yh that's what i was thinking

I was starting to second guess myself a bit after and was wondering if I was even doing it right

[rich pewter]

ii_JR is the Prince

[valid roost]

So how come people are saying the maximum is 150?

[naive ocean]

That is what is believed to be the daily cap

[valid roost]

Fe lol

[naive ocean]

You can kill as many as u want, but apparently only 150 of them will be counted per day from u

[valid roost]

Hang on I got a ss of it somewhere

[full sun]

Yeah, that’s the max an individual can contribute each day. 50 is the minimum overall to qualify for the rewards.

[prisma ridge]

Gotcha

[valid roost]

Oh that makes sense

[naive ocean]

…

[valid roost]

Idek atp

[full sun]

If that was the case I don’t think we’d be getting the big jumps we’re getting now. I think discovery services being down is probably the cause as others have said.

[naive ocean]

Its 100% the reason lol

[valid roost]

Yh cause of the crowdstrikes wasn't it

Or is it just trouble with the servers

[solemn bane]

Can you screenshot the Liquidator missions at the anomaly?

[valid roost]

I can't, don't have any space on my camera roll

But I can tell you that it's the new vile brood missions found at the nexus

That appear once in a blue moon

[tacit gale]

Wait so you have to be doing specific missions at the anomaly for the kills to count... simply being in the Expedition and getting the kills doesn't count?

[valid roost]

No, apparently its misinfo

Killing horrors and broods and wtv normally does contribute to doing the community missions

[naive ocean]

Nexus missions should count if they are started from the expedition save, but them being the only source is not correct

Kills from regular expedition gameplay are counted

[valid roost]

Oh and that

Eh?

[tacit gale]

Gotcha

[valid roost]

So I could keep the expedition running but when I kill a horror in my normal save that counts towards the milestone?

[full sun]

Not sure where that came from. The Nexus missions have nothing to do with the Expedition.

[valid roost]

Exactlt

[naive ocean]

Corrected myself

[full sun]

Grabbing poop from creatures? Not even.

[naive ocean]

No, but getting kills should

[valid roost]

Saying that though the whispering swarm mission could lead you to an abandoned base without the need of the exocraft scanner or planetary chart

[valid roost]

Ah got it lol

[full sun]

Oh, I agree that combining them to gain quicksilver, etc is a great idea, but not required for the community thing.

[valid roost]

Yh

It's js extra rewards at the end of the day

[tacit gale]

Can't you earn helmets for killing the brood queens? Or is that just in your main save and not the expedition?

[naive ocean]

Only outside of the expedition

[cerulean olive]

Not from the exped, only on mains

[tacit gale]

Do main save kills count toward community goal or just in expedition? Seems kinda counter productive to only let you unlock helmets outside of expedition if you're supposed to be getting kills for community goal

[solemn bane]

HG is funny like that

[cerulean olive]

Only exped kills

[tacit gale]

🤣 Typical

[hallow sierra]

Sorry if this has been asked before- but I used the Expedition Terminal on my main save to make an expedition version. I know I can freely swap between the two and that I can "end" the expedition save via the terminal my nanites, credits and quicksilver will merge into the main save
My question- if I do that before the expedition is complete till I still get the community awards as they unlock (aka the Minotaur Liquidator pieces)?

[deep basalt]

You can unlock the cosmetics in the expedition, unless I have messed up my save file somehow.

[cerulean olive]

In previous expeds, community goal items couldn't be claimed if you ended the exp prior to completing the community milestones.

[valid roost]

Outside the expedition though its a pain in the ass to get the brood mother helmet

[cerulean olive]

If you don't feel like contributing, then just switch to your main save and leave the exped open.

[tacit gale]

Great, now I have to decide whether to grind out kills in my main save to earn helmet unlocks, or in the expedition to do my part for the community...

[cerulean olive]

Ot's just RNG, so if you're lucky, they drop quick

[exotic fiber]

I just started the expedition and have a quick question. Do any of the expedition milestones involve building a base, or reward us with basic necessary base-building recipes (other than Base Computer recipe which I already got)?
I skimmed through most of the milestones & didnt see anything, but my eyes tend to miss things.

[cerulean olive]

Those helmets will still drop after the exped is done.

They are part of the Worlds update.

[hallow sierra]

@cerulean olive thank you! I kinda figured that would be the case

[cerulean olive]

They dropped before the exped started and will as it ends.

[tacit gale]

Oh man, that's good to know. Looks like I'm doing my part then!

[cerulean olive]

No base building milestone this time.

[cerulean olive]

If everyone does, the milestones get done quicker and everyone can go about their business earlier.

[tacit gale]

True. It would just be nice to be working towards those unlocks as we're working toward the community goals

[cerulean olive]

Helmet drops are RNG, though drop rates are fairly high. Got all 4 of them in 1 evening.

Farm for grubs, then start spawning brood mothers and use the Minotaur with cannon to finish them off quick.

[valid roost]

Yh and I managed to get all of them in a row after the first few dropped nothing

After that I ended up using around 30 grubs and still got barely anything out of it

[naive ocean]

Theres only 4

[hallow sierra]

so the broodmother helmet is only outside expedition?

[valid roost]

Yeah

[naive ocean]

U get one as a reward from the expedition though

[valid roost]

Unless you unlock it in your main save then you can access it from the appearance modifier

[naive ocean]

The others are only outside of it

[valid roost]

The helmet or the decoration?

[cerulean olive]

1 helmet as reward

[naive ocean]

Theres 1 helmet from expedition

[valid roost]

Ah

[cerulean olive]

#23 I believe

[valid roost]

Alr lemme check which one that is

[cerulean olive]

21, 22, 24, 25 are drops

[hallow sierra]

huh ok I didnt gather that from reading the notes

[cerulean olive]

This is the reward helmet

[valid roost]

Cause I'm pretty sure I might of unlocked it before doing the exp

Yh I already got it prior to liquidators

[cerulean olive]

Not possible

[valid roost]

Ah

[cerulean olive]

I believe the name is Broodmother's Maw or something. It's a Liquidators reward. Not a drop.

[hallow sierra]

I am in game called "Chitin Mandibles"

that is what I got for completing expsition

[valid roost]

Alr well I'll check it now

[cerulean olive]

You could be right

[valid roost]

Cause I'm pretty sure the brood mothers maw was bioluminesent

[cerulean olive]

It's the 2nd of the 5 new helmets.

[valid roost]

And had barely any horns

[valid roost]

Nice

[cerulean olive]

Yeah, chitin mandibles is it's name, lol. Sorry for the confusion

[valid roost]

Yh dw

[hallow sierra]

yah "Broodmothers Maw" is locked for me, so that is the one from the broomother drop I assume

[valid roost]

Yh that's the one

[cerulean olive]

I find it odd that there are no torso and pants for this set.

[naive ocean]

I predict its for part 2

[cerulean olive]

Maybe Worlds pt.2 will give us those and weapons too

[valid roost]

Would be interesting to see icl

[valid roost]

Probably

[cerulean olive]

And a ship....

[valid roost]

Yh I doubt that (then again there could be another ship in the next expedition)

[ashen shore]

This was the easiest expedition ever

[distant knot]

What do you have to do for "Independent Action"? Something about waypoints and swarms. I'm following a video to a T and he got that waypoint done at the 2nd brood but I only have 3/6

[cerulean olive]

Hmmm, there was another one really easy. Can't remember which one. It may be a tie with that one.

I think it was with the Autophage update.

[naive ocean]

At any point of interest, there will be a swarm. Fight them off and activate the waypoint

[distant knot]

kk that's what I've been doing. Not sure how I'm behind but should get it eventually. Thnx.

[naive ocean]

I believe you have to survive long enough until they subside, then u can go and activate

[lusty slate]

IMO Polestar was the easiest.

[exotic fiber]

I know this conversation probably comes up a lot... is there a way to disable comm balls in an expedition? I've had multiplayer disabled in settings since the start but I'm still seeing messages from other players balls

(I know, phrasing, sorry)

[faint pelican]

I think the comm balls show no matter what.

I saw some one say you could get the 900 from the Minotaur laser, but got 3,000 carbon without letting up from Minotaur, no reward. Any other ideas how to get that milestone. My mining beam always gets overheated before I get to 900.

[hallow sierra]

I got mine from continue beam mowing down a grove of trees

mining beam from Minotaur

[manic path]

What happends if I click end expedition

[naive ocean]

Heat management on your mining beam. You can release the trigger temporarily before it overheats. Just dont let it drop to 0

Pay attention to the bar

[naive ocean]

You are given the opportunity to transfer 24 items and 8 tech to your main save via the terminal. After that, the expedition save converts to a normal save

[snow ruin]

#nms-questions message again

[manic path]

What if I chose a new save

[faint pelican]

Thanks!

[manic path]

Oh

Thank you

I think I’ll stay in to keep helping

[hallow sierra]

Your doing your part!

[manic path]

Now I want a living ship

So gotta get quicksilver

[snow ruin]

You can also prepare some rocks and/or plants. Partially mine them, then mine them all the rest of the way in one swoop, since finishing a "node" brings in a fairly large amount of resources.

[hallow sierra]

Also dont be dumb like me, I thought because I finished expedition track I could leave the save and convert to my main. But because community awards arre not all fully earned, I now need to stick around.
I had cleaned up alot of my inventory and sold things off- but now I am sticking around and need to re-gather a bunch of stuff

[manic path]

Ye

[sacred mirage]

actually you dont need to keep your beam on

Cool down it when the resources are rushing to you

[fierce folio]

omega was 100% easier for me

[fierce folio]

i just use my mining beam in a forest, give it a second to underheat before continuing

but dont open inventory or anyting

[fierce folio]

yeah, it stops if you stop collecint resources for long enough

[full sun]

I just shot trees with regular mining beam. If it overheats, keep the button pressed and it will continue adding to the count after the cool down.

[exotic fiber]

I hope enough people have complained to HG that the dev team knows how we feel about them by now

[scarlet wigeon]

Found this cool little pod sentinel ship right at the end of my expedition had to bring it over to my main save of course 😀

[scarlet wigeon]

I personally couldn't get it on anything but the minotaur laser I think maybe the objective is glitched or having online mode enabled is messing with it

[manic path]

I got it on the Minotaur cannon

[light warren]

150 a day isn't much of a task.

I farm sentinels for nanites. They are a good source for that.

Got 72K nanites in the pocket.

[flint totem]

And they are such easy kills too

[flint totem]

I like the relaxing feel of the game. Nothing about it is difficult even in permadeath

[cerulean olive]

Agreed. The threshold is low and I like that.

If I want a challenge, I'll do Pit150 in Diablo 4. 😄

Lost my sentinel ship, though, so I'm mildly amused.

[elfin hull]

Thats's a massive jump, it was 60% for me yesterday.

[steel fox]

I have killed six Sentinel walkers and only have been given credit for two. Any suggestions?

[flint totem]

i had a golden vector turn into an exotic some years ago.

all my vector tech fell into the exotic ship

now that ods is back online it should move much faster

it was a less used save so, meh.

[cerulean olive]

Ah, okay. No biggie then

[elfin hull]

Thanks/

[cerulean olive]

For the 4/4 milestone? Should reward each one you drop.

[steel fox]

Ya it should

Do I need to have a restart on each instance of aggroing the sentinels?

[cerulean olive]

Well, if you pull your weight for the community goals, you'll drop a ton of them.

Don't think you need a restart.

[steel fox]

I know I killed smaller ones then the real big giant walker showed up and I killed that too

[elfin hull]

What stuff is transferable from my expedition playthrough to my main one after finishing.

[cerulean olive]

Only the ones with the big health bar at the top of your screen count.

[naive ocean]

8 tech, 24 items and a copy of your active multitool/ship

[elfin hull]

Tech?

[flint totem]

Alex is referring to slots available for transfer between main and expedition at the terminal in the Anomaly.

[elfin hull]

Ohh,

So I need to keep 24 stacks of Larval Cores for credits and nanites.

[naive ocean]

if you'd like, but theres also a big bonus payout of nanites, quicksilver and units when u decide to end the expedition for good

[full sun]

So, my theory now is that the 50 individual kills is just for that phase. I think it will reset to 0 and you will need to get 50 in phase 2 to get that reward. So to get all of the community rewards you will need to kill a minimum of 250. Guess we’ll see shortly.

incorrect

[flint saddle]

When you kill a Brood mother does it count as one or does it still count all the Broodlings that die after you kill the Mother

i think if u kill the little ones intentionally it counts

if u just kill the brood mother then thats 1

[solemn bane]

lol, that progress bar is hauling ass all of a sudden

[lost heart]

I have a sentinel ship addiction.

[full sun]

I should have looked. I started a new expedition save to test something and shot a brood mother from a tower, ignoring the little ones below me entirely. Sadly I already deleted the save so I can’t confirm.

[lusty slate]

ODS is behaving today and finished counting pending kills.

[sleek siren]

that would be my guess too

Fly during a storm and they will be lit up

[dusky oracle]

ok

fly on jetpack or on ship?

[last flower]

jetpack

[dusky oracle]

ok thx

[last flower]

its easier in my opinon... like the guy says it will be lit up and you will find lots of them if that\

[full sun]

I fly in ship, but depends on what kind of shielding you have. I usually look for 3 or more together in one spot and land next to them

[dusky oracle]

is it like item that laying on the ground?

[valid roost]

Well I mean you don't rlly have to do 150 per day

Just as long as its within the margin

ok

do I have to put my visor on to search?

[full sun]

Nope

[dusky oracle]

ok

They will be very obvious

If you are doing them on foot using jetpack you can use visor to see where the closest one is, but flying you will see them easily.

What do I get to keep?
Also after I have finished all milestones, do I have to stay on it until the end to claim all the optional stuff?

[ashen shore]

Took a week to get 50%then suddenly 50% in one day
I have faith in this expo again lol

[sleek siren]

the optional community stuff will unlock for everyone to buy at the QS shop after, you don't have to participate in the expedition for it.
If you want them free, you may have to wait

[ashen shore]

It's gunna be a expensive qs shop tho, especially if you don't use exploits I bet a thousand or more each item

[grizzled python]

What about other stuff?

For monstrosities, look for “Alluring Specimens” in deep water. For the meat, cook it

[blissful roost]

How do i cook tho? It cant just be refiner right?

And i have never even went underwater lol

Didnt know they made it actually have stuff

[naive ocean]

Its with something called a nutrient processor, you’ll get it for one of the milestones

[blissful roost]

I just knew they made water look better

[blissful roost]

Ok thanks

[winged bloom]

how does the optional missions to get the liquidator armor work?

[blissful roost]

^ pls does anyone know this im curious too

[flint totem]

I'm not certain but I think you go to the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion and select "Create exotic items from Quicksilver"

Each item will unlock per tier

[winged bloom]

well i mean the mission itself, is there a set quantity of bugs i gotta kill, is it based on how many bugs the community kills, i dont know how to complete the mission

[indigo falcon]

the optional milestones are community ones, every player contributes by doing "some" kills, minimum 50 (sentinels/bugs/horrors),

[flint totem]

It's an accumulation by the community

Cannot be completed individually

[winged bloom]

so as long as we get 50 kills we get the rewards once its done?

[indigo falcon]

you can contribute more by doing some each day if you like, up to some maximum in a day after which kills no longer count for that day (so a few players can't do the whole thing all by themselves)

[winged bloom]

thats makes sense, ive killed like 200+ and seen no change so i wasnt sure, thank you guys

[indigo falcon]

and as long as your 50 are listed for tier one, you don't have to do more if you don't want to. for tier 2 we'll see once tier one is complete

[winged bloom]

what happens if i complete the missions outside the side and finish the expedition, does that opt me out of the optional rewards?

[indigo falcon]

yes it would, but you'll be able to buy them for quicksilver like everyone else, once the expd is over (assuming the community completes the goals)

[winged bloom]

alright cool, thanks for all the help yall

I don't like the idea of starting fresh, but I know I'm missing out on a lot. Can anyone give me a basic rundown as to how expeditions work? Roughly how long are they to complete?

[lethal mirage]

[flint totem]

Previous one took longer to complete than current.

A lot of people finished current one on day one.

[full sun]

I’ve seen it finished in an hour and a half. I’m old and slow, it took me something like 9 hours.

[lethal mirage]

I took my time and got distracted every 5 minutes (had to land on the same dissonant world 5 times to kill 2 more sentinels)

[lost heart]

Particularly if you load the right supplies at the terminal.

[lethal mirage]

Started from nothing and did it day 2

[visual acorn]

Don't you have to start with nothing? Or is there a way to bring stuff from your other save over or do it from your other save?

[naive ocean]

Theres a terminal behind the nexus

[indigo falcon]

yuo can send over up to 8 tech, 24 resources, and make a copy of your main save's equipped ship and mt which you can later claim at the same anomaly terminal for nanites on the expd version o fthe save.

that will be after your first warp, so you can't get the items before then

[balmy void]

I heard the Apex Predator milestone is bugged, is that true or has it been patched?

[indigo falcon]

no I don't think they are at all. ods has been down for days, the reason we saw fast progress all of a sudden was, I am willing to bet, a bunch of progress being recorded at last as players were finally able to steadily connect over the last 12 hours

[flint totem]

it might be working for you now, I'd give it a try (not patched but if it is related to ods, then....)

[blissful roost]

What are grenades

Like how do i get themM

[full sun]

Ok, so it looks like it’s a minimum of 250 kills. When we went to phase 2 it switched from 50 and counting to 100 and counting.

[blissful roost]

Is the paralysis mortar considered grenade

[indigo falcon]

max of 250 then? anyways 100, that's the answer I'm looking for

[crimson rose]

Is your MultiTool already S classs? Try switching to the other one

[frail gate]

Ahh okay.

[full sun]

Yeah, I think 250 is going to be the minimum kills needed to collect all 5 rewards.

[indigo falcon]

we'll find out I guess

[crimson rose]

Seeing how this is the MurderExpedition, shouldn't be a problem

[lethal mirage]

Bet, more things i can kill

[full sun]

Absolutely. I doubt anyone would get thru the expedition without killing that many.

heh just got into the game for a little and that milestone popped indeed. nice nice

[lethal mirage]

[formal thicket]

Did we already celebrate phase 1 complete?

[bleak bough]

Yes

[formal thicket]

Damn

[indigo falcon]

yeah 100 for purged by fire 2, so mm hmm, any kills you already did just get immediately applied to the goal it seems

[full sun]

Time for some science!

[lethal mirage]

Oh dang

Testing won't work then

[full sun]

Yeah. I thought maybe we had to do 50 during each, but I guess it’s cumulative

[bleak bough]

I'd be a little upset 🤣

[balmy void]

What races can wear the new chittin or whatever it's called stuff?

[lethal mirage]

All

Or do you mean the helmets

[full sun]

I’m debating starting a new save, quickly duping what I need for a proper exocraft, and making that my first kill (or attempt anyway

[lethal mirage]

The armour set can be used by all but idk about helmets

[naive ocean]

Helmets is only anomaly

[crimson rose]

Skag kill

[lethal mirage]

Could collaborate with someone in here to go back to the starter planet and drop a geobay

[indigo falcon]

where are you seeing that? which screen is it

[full sun]

Didn’t think of that. I have saves on PC and PS5, can drop myself one lol

[balmy void]

Oh I guess i have to win the helmets by killing brood mothers?

[lethal mirage]

Doesn't work in the expedition save!

Normal saves work tho

[bleak bough]

Catalogs, milestones, mercenaries guild

[full sun]

I wondered after killing a bunch if that was the case

[lethal mirage]

A lot of people have checked

[full sun]

I got lucky and got the 4 with only about 9 kills in my regular save

[lethal mirage]

Question: how many bugs have you all punched to death after running out of ammo in your weapon

I've killed like 10 that way

[low ember]

Dont you have to get the other heads via the nexus, or no?

[crimson rose]

Just check with @bleak boughs tally screen

[lethal mirage]

Because i keep myself stocked on ammo

[naive ocean]

None, i vaporize them with the minotaur canon

[lethal mirage]

Are they directly linked to those numbers tho?

[full sun]

I can’t remember the last time I ran out of ammo

[lethal mirage]

Well it takes a while to reload

[crimson rose]

I would assume

[lethal mirage]

Especially with the scatter blaster

[bleak bough]

I just spam plasma launcher as soon as they come out

[lethal mirage]

Plas launcher doesn't one shot em tho

[bleak bough]

Every horde has about 100 vile brood

[lethal mirage]

I think spinning around the spawn point with the drift module in a exo craft would be the best way to do that

[full sun]

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing. Stand on ship and drop a grenade on the spawn point every few seconds

[lethal mirage]

If you get good at it

It's a fun way to do it at least

[bleak bough]

Upgrade it, mine one shots me

[full sun]

Yeah it does. I take out 4-5 with each one

[lethal mirage]

I've gotten a few S class upgrades and they haven't boosted damage

Weird

Unlucky ig

[bleak bough]

Bad luck

[lethal mirage]

But spinning around in the exocraft is fun tho

Also allows you to clean up any that escape more easily

[blissful roost]

It's a Milestone reward too. Comes with upgrades

[bleak bough]

I just let the minotaur mop up stragglers and spam nades on spawn

[lethal mirage]

Minotaur seems stupid

[bleak bough]

On airless planet I'm just racking up kills

[lethal mirage]

Mine's ai uses the laser for some reason

[bleak bough]

Take the laser off

[naive ocean]

Who uses the AI?

[crimson rose]

uninstall the laser

[bleak bough]

Just store it

[blissful roost]

Is plasma launcher a grenade?

[bleak bough]

Yes

[blissful roost]

Oh ok cool i have one ill put on gun. Thanks

[bleak bough]

But it does damage to you as well so don't use it on permadeath 🤣

[blissful roost]

????????

[crimson rose]

Yeah, it bounces back at you if youre not careful

[blissful roost]

I didnt even have to do challenge

I put plasma launcher on gun

And now challenge complete?

[naive ocean]

No way I had that bug too!

I thought it had counted my shots with a paralysis mortar the first time but i knew that wasnt correct, but i saw i had just installed the plasma without adding the parts to it and it completed

[indigo falcon]

you might have used the paralysis mortar earlier, is it possible?

[blissful roost]

Yea idk

I was trying with it but it never gave the reward

Once i build plasna thing it did

[indigo falcon]

because if you did, the reward will pop later as soon as the plasma launcher is installed, that's a bit of a buglet

[naive ocean]

its a nice freebie

[tepid niche]

Anyone know the best way to get some juicy grubs?

[ashen shore]

What was the first reward the left arm?

[indigo falcon]

no, some suit slots and x hazard protection

[wraith junco]

First reward was not a minotaur part

[indigo falcon]

it's 3% already, I guess as players connect after the first milestone is complete, it's accumulating the progress counts for part 2. hmmm

[ashen shore]

That's dumb as hell actually lol it basically wasn't even a reward

That's like a standard expedition objective reward

[indigo falcon]

no? suit slots are nice and the hazard prot upgrades are nice too.

[ashen shore]

I just expect somthing a little cooler for community challenges I guess, but the good stuff still coming

[wraith junco]

When patch lands on ps i will do my part 🫡

[ashen shore]

I do my part everyday its a very low 150 per day

Why not un,imited

[atomic socket]

Is it just me or did they revert all the progress back to 0%?

[indigo falcon]

4%, it's just you.

[main pendant]

each section is counted by its own percentage
so we're in phase 2 now

and yea now its 4%

[keen flint]

how do you get the predator thing? is it rng for the animal itself or is it broken

[main pendant]

rng, but its the same for everyone so theres some stuff in pins to help

[iron ruin]

Does anyone know if they have fixed the aggression milestone not being complete able on existing saves?

[atomic socket]

Oh we are? How come I’m not able to get the reward for optional molestone one?

[main pendant]

you should be able to..

[main pendant]

..existing saves?

[keen flint]

i found two of thew pinned ones

[main pendant]

even if you start from terminus its still sorta a new save

just a temporary one

[lost heart]

Or three class A

[dusky oracle]

what category for power generator?

and where can I find it in anomaly?

[jagged harness]

Is anyone willing to deliver some pugneum to me on the planet I'm stranded on? Lol 😩 I knew I should have kept my starting ship

[keen flint]

sereously, does anone know how to fix this? its the last thing i have to do b4 finishing the expedition

[warm sedge]

just kill some sentinels

[lethal mirage]

If you have some spare atalantium you can process that into pugneum

[solemn bane]

Your choices are find another one, or start a new save and do the expedition over. I ended up doing the latter.

[jagged harness]

I'm at the third infected site, it's on an island in the middle of an ocean lol. And the planet is infrequent sentinel activity... believe me I've been keeping my eyes peeled

[warm sedge]

oh wow

[keen flint]

yuck

[jagged harness]

Yeah, feel like an idiot lol. I have plenty of it... up on my freighter lol

[naive ocean]

What do u need pugneum for?

[blissful roost]

So i find an alluring specimen. Do i just sit here now? Lol

[indigo falcon]

launch fuel I am guessing

[indigo falcon]

no. go to the glowing orbs and harvest them until the horror appears, then shoot it!

[blissful roost]

Ok thanks

[jagged harness]

Yeah sentinel ship launch fuel

[indigo falcon]

thinking about the pugneum situation. mmmm if no one here can help out, try #nms-lfg-or-trades and be sure to explain you're on the expedition. there will be sentinels on a low security world around certain buildings but it might take you a long time of wandering to stumble across one, probably not worth trying that.

@jagged harness ^^

[dusky oracle]

how to attact sentinels? Iam in planet with high sentinel activity but cant find one

[upbeat fulcrum]

misbehave

[indigo falcon]

first, wait a couple minutes, they dont spawn in right away. then walk a little bit, somewhere in the 300 u radus you ought to see one. so just choose a direction (N, S) and walk, scan, walk, scan. if you happen across a sentient plant or sac venom, you could bother those, but these are rare.

[naive ocean]

Theres no ship summoning beacon at the infestation sites right? Since its abandoned?

[dusky oracle]

oh ok, thanks

[indigo falcon]

there are ship summoning beacons, sure, at most buildings, needs one nav data

[dusky oracle]

do I have to be on minotaur or just walk?

[naive ocean]

Yea i wasnt totally thinking of the sitch, they need to get off the planet, not call a ship 😅

[indigo falcon]

no, minotaur is fine too

[dusky oracle]

ok thx

[naive ocean]

Its 2am i gotta go to bed

[indigo falcon]

moral of the story for the sentinel ships: install an autocharger, always

(heck I do that with regular ships anyways)

[jagged harness]

Yeah my first sentinel ship 😅

[naive ocean]

(This is why we need aquatic sentinels)

[iron ruin]

Yeah

[naive ocean]

If no one comes to rescue u, u might need to swim

yep. we'll see good advancement over the next 24 hours I think, as player kills get registered for the tier 2 goal

[dusky oracle]

dang this timbre wolf mission damn hard

[bleak bough]

Something of note for the predator milestone is that it doesn't have to be hostile to the player. Just has to attack other creatures. I scanned mine in one of the planets on the route

[brazen violet]

What platform are you on?

[full pewter]

Do we know if we have to hit a personal kills target in each teir yet?

Or is it safe to end the expedition?

[balmy void]

I didn't see blueprints for the minotaur flamethrower. How do I get it?

[granite ridge]

Ending now means you longer can claim the community milestone rewards (tier 2-5).
You'll have to claim them for quicksilver once they're done.

[full pewter]

That's what I was worried about 😂 good to know though

Thanks

[indigo falcon]

it also means that the kills you made previous to tier 2 opening up will not get counted towards it

you need to actually connect to ods after a tier is complete, for any kills above that tier level to count to the next one

(btw 6% and counting)

[granite ridge]

On that matter, it appears like personal kills are counted towards the total goal, not daily participation?
My tier 2 states 100 and counting right from the start

[indigo falcon]

yes, once tier x is unlocked, and once you connect, you get credit immediately as your kills are registered to the total

[naive ocean]

This is my last idea before my brain fries from sleepiness: if they called the ship down at the beacon, couldnt they take off without costing fuel?

[indigo falcon]

I think you need to be at a landing pad, not a beacon spot, but I could be wrong

if the player can make a base and put down a teleporter, that's another option, just tp to space station; I am guessing the player does not have the right blueprints

[craggy echo]

Ok so I’ve scanned all the fauna on HAS A APEX PREDATOR and none of them gave me the achievement. Lies.

[indigo falcon]

sigh. so it's still bugged then? and you're connected to ods, just to make sure?

any of those predators labelled something like "this one here, grah!!" or "apex predator, shoot me" or whatever, so you know you scanned the right one?

ah but you said all the fauna... meh

[craggy echo]

Yep

[indigo falcon]

and you did all the ones in the pins? that's all I can think of that's left honestly

[craggy echo]

Wait do I have to shoot it?

[indigo falcon]

no

scan it

[craggy echo]

Yep scanned it

[indigo falcon]

I was just giving examples of possible nmes so someone might know it really is the right fauna

sigh

[indigo falcon]

yeah. that should have been it.

[craggy echo]

😭

[indigo falcon]

and you had ods on right?

obviously, since you got the renamed fauna

[craggy echo]

Yep

[topaz notch]

Going through my first expedition and i managed to complete a milestone before completing the first page/phase. Can we complete all milestones early and then just wait for the phases whenever the kill amounts are achieved by the community?

[granite ridge]

Sure, you can complete most milestones in any order

[craggy echo]

Which system is the first planet in?

[granite ridge]

The community milestones also are optional, you can claim each phase reward without waiting for the optionals

[granite ridge]

[indigo falcon]

ok so confirmed: op centres (can scan for them with secure facility maps from the cartographer) on aggro sentinel worlds have a walker guard. a real walker, as in a wave 5 walker. so if you want to kill 4 walkers quickly: land on an aggro sentinel planet, pop those maps until you get one that says op center detected, go to it, (beware the bio horrors), shoot the walker, save-reload, repeat until done. I will in the next day or so upload a base at one of these, for player convenience

yes you'll have a few wave one sentinels or maybe wave 1-2 that show up, they should not cause you any trouble really

[balmy void]

Only got 5 more milestones and it's in the bag. Pretty fun expedition. PEW PEW PEW!

[obsidian zinc]

When do i even reach the anomaly in the expedition

Nvm found it

[sacred mirage]

I heard that's after you leave the first system

[indigo falcon]

it's after the first warp, as usual

[ashen shore]

I'm doing the lords work by reporting every communication orb I see lol

[somber jolt]

if you want to boost the community goal create a new game expedition, kill 50 horror/sentinnel, erase save, do it again and again

[ashen shore]

You first

[cobalt gate]

i spent 3 hrs on expedition then my game crashed and when i logged back in the save was gone 😭

[indigo falcon]

100 now.

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-family-guy-woah-woah-woah-wait-a-second-wait-a-minute-gif-17687820

that means you need a "new" player for the missions and that im going on a killstreak doesnt mean anything? 😮

[wraith junco]

Imo its per account. And im to lazy. Will just wait for next daily limit

[sacred mirage]

I heard daily you can contribute 150

[fluid herald]

good 😂 man that would've been crazy, all the kills for nothing 😄 good so i can keep on liberating 😄

[left ether]

what is the best planet type to farm juicy grubs? i know they can be found pretty much anywhere but in different amounts.

[indigo falcon]

any with vile brood detecred, which is all the drop zone systems, pick any you like

example: maybe you want one without extreme storms, so you can see what you're doing, or maybe you want one with flat terrain so it's easier to get around, etc. your choice
