They're all the same thing

[solemn bane]

Bugs and sentinels

[wide jackal]

Oh… lame lol

[wraith junco]

Oh boy here i go killing again

[fossil token]

[snow ruin]

Occam's Razor is nice to employ.

[solemn bane]

The only thing that changes about the optional milestones is the minimum number of bugs/sentinels you have to kill to claim them. First 50, then 100, then I assume +50

[fossil token]

5000

[wide jackal]

Wait, so if I don’t contribute anything I don’t get anything?

[solemn bane]

You will have to buy them from the QS vendor for QS. If you kill bugs you can claim them on the expedition for free

[wide jackal]

I mean makes sense lol

[fossil token]

Technically killing the ones for the regular milestones counts towards it so you're fine regardless

[wide jackal]

Sick. So I’ll go in today and kill 100 bugs/sentinels?

(Is there a way I know if I’ve gotten 100
And, can we go and claim tier 1 & 2 rn?)

[solemn bane]

Yeah that'll clear you for t2, then when t3 is 100% you'd need to kill 50 more, etc.

[wide jackal]

As in 150, or just +50?

[solemn bane]

+50, 150 total

[magic hazel]

i found a pirate system and made my base "yo-ho-yo-ho a pirates life for me" and tried doing the song with bytebeat, i never messed with bytebeat before and its confusing af

[faint mesa]

Thank you!

[vivid stream]

i learned something on how to beat with sentinel walkers

[fossil token]

It's like physically assembling your own sequencer out of blocks it's very odd

[magic hazel]

why did they add operators and numbers to music. who asked for that-

[vivid stream]

instead of same planet to beat up sentinels starting from one sentinel to trigger 1/5 up to 5/5 then disabled

it should be use ship to hop up to another planet with high sentinel warning or aggressive ones

[brittle spire]

I love it when i fight the green scorpion things and instead of taking damage on hit i just get launched 500u away🙏🙏 (not sarcasm btw its funny asf)

[vivid stream]

what i realized something is corrupted sentinels can reset from 5 star to 1 star, while normal ones aren't

[magic hazel]

i get that its super in depth and can be used with practice, but i just wanna make a pirate song lmao

[vivid stream]

also it's just normal sentinels do have walkers, not the other

[indigo falcon]

if you go to a aggro sentinel world with some secure facility maps and spam them until one gives you 'operations centre detected', go there, there is a walker (not mech, actual walker) right there, no need for waves, just shoot it

[vivid stream]

oh... i already cleared via wave ones, which would took bits of time too, with upgraded multi tool weapons, most likely plasma launcher

what annoys me a lil bit is some small sentinel which would be a lil bit difficult to find

this thing

[magic hazel]

those can be found at sentinel depots/bases tho right?

[vivid stream]

yes

i encountered those

[magic hazel]

those guys are the repairing guys right? they are so damn annoying lol

[vivid stream]

definitely, also sometimes it became a lil bit elusive

[sharp basin]

fast way to find the mini repair bots is damage a bigger one and wait for them to come to the rescue..then blast em

[vivid stream]

should be better if you have sharp eyes, or wear glasses. but yeah i'd appreciate that option too

[magic hazel]

the sentinels are pretty easily defeated with the exp multitool, its def more handy than the one in my main save lol

[vivid stream]

correct, yet i mostly use plasma launcher

[young crater]

Good to know. Ground sentinels it is then. Ty!

[magic hazel]

i used to be scared, but now i am part of the liquidator vanguard

[vivid stream]

being experienced with 9 expeditions (including current one), i guess it's part of my life

[sharp basin]

aslo my favorite weapon choice for these droids is first stunning them with the Paralisis Mortar then gunning them down with a Pulse Spitter.. its a lethal combo

[magic hazel]

id always go into the anomaly if im confronted with sentinels, i learned alot in this expedition lol

[vivid stream]

wait i forgot that it's pulse splitter, not plasma launcher lol

[solemn bane]

Thank you for your service, Liquidator. Together, we can indiscriminately murder native lifeforms without question!

[sharp basin]

it works well with the walker droids too.. because they cant fire back or launch motar volleys at you while stunned

[magic hazel]

BROTHER!

[vivid stream]

since worlds part 1 update, beating up walkers would be much easier compared with pre-worlds one

so i learned that focus on legs first then on chest and heart too

[magic hazel]

can i still kill big bug bosses in my primary save? i find it pretty fun lol

[solemn bane]

Yeah, and it can reward special helms (but only on primary saves, not expedition saves)

[sharp basin]

ive been using this weapon combo for several years now.. whatchu talkin bout willis?

[magic hazel]

hell ya lol

[vivid stream]

wait

a combo of paralysis mortar + pulse spitter would be very handy

[solemn bane]

Just get a juiced neutron cannon and everything dies in a hit or two.

[sharp basin]

i would love to see a paralisis mortar on my star ship.. Pirates Beware..lol

[vivid stream]

tried that before, and yeah that'll be also useful too

well i guess i was only one explaining about my experience regarding to current expedition i completed

i just found out that only corrupted sentinels are distinct from normal ones

[solemn bane]

Great thing about the neutron cannon is you can just blast the bio horror spawns before they get a chance to move

[vivid stream]

ahh

i use minotaur exocraft for horror spawns lol

[indigo falcon]

yes, although when you kill corrupt sentinels (drones, large crawlers) they count for killing regular sentinels too, or at least they did

[vivid stream]

at first i use multi tool to beat up spawn brood mother, yet eventually i use minotaur exocraft to do the same thing too

i find it easier that i use minotaur to wipe off both horrors and broodlings too

and one thing that i never said is i also use minotaur to clear up sentinels too, both normal and corrupted

[clear slate]

uuhhh so im at drop zone 1 and my starship refuses to land

the fuck do i do

[ashen shore]

Wait

Common issue since next worst on switch let the planet load in

Quick question

[regal wing]

just a question for my curious mind, do items from a expedition version of the main save if they're stored in a base storage get transferred over or do they vaporize into the ether and become credits?

[dapper sparrow]

Did the liquidation progress bar reset for anyone else? It's back to 0% for me.

[molten leaf]

If i contribute for the optional goals will i still have to pay the exorbitant price for the parts of the minitaur

[regal wing]

try reloading the save? or rebooting the game?

[molten leaf]

Or because i did the expidition will i get them?

[wraith junco]

Ods problems probably

[molten leaf]

On my main save too?

[wraith junco]

If u claim them on expedition they will be for free in qs store on main save

[molten leaf]

Ok

Was just wondering

[regal wing]

#nms-expedition message

[burnt flume]

items get sold into units and nanites, and those get added to your main save balance, So only things you want to bring back not in that form matter.

[ashen shore]

This expo was nice for all the nanites tbh that's one free freighter paint job

It's community driven. So everyboy contributes to it via kills.

What's the question? Do you mean how do you contribute? You kill things like sentinels, horrors and bugs

Is that all I need to do to complete it

Just keep killing things and when us as a game community hits the milestone it unlocks

For expedition freighters, those just disappear after right?

[rough mortar]

crap i need to get a advanced mining beam

[ebon urchin]

spawn the nexus and spend some nanite

[sage turret]

does my expedition save merge with my main save after it ends

[ebon urchin]

you can bring 1 multitool and 1 ship for what I undersoot, not sure if we can bring back stuff from inventory via the same system we can use when starting it

[ashen shore]

You can

But items can only go back with you after the expedition is finished

However ships and multitiols can go back whenever as long as it's a different multi tool or ship every time or you scrap it on main save then go back and you can transfer it again

[merry kestrel]

just got this during expidition, does this carry to my man save as well????

[ashen shore]

You can use this to duplicate tech

[ashen shore]

You can get that no matter what

It's not a expedition thing

[merry kestrel]

true but since i started expidtion on my main save do i still get this technology blueprint?

[ashen shore]

Did you start the expedition through the anomaly

Or did you create the expedition as a new save

?

[merry kestrel]

started it through the anomaly

[ashen shore]

Ok so you will need to reclaim it at a disonent camp again

Blueprints and such don't transfer

But that jetpack can be found at any disonent camp regardless of expedition

It's part of main game

And also it's not a blueprint

It's a customisation module for your exosuit

[clear slate]

ok so i just finished the expedition but didnt claim all the rewards. what sort of stuff do i keep what do i throw? and should i just return to my main save until all the secondary milestones get completed?

[ashen shore]

I would stay on expedition save until all community stuff is finished and pitch in a bit by fighting brood queens and stuff

Check in sometimes on nms

[clear slate]

and what about the rewards and what i keep in the inventory to transfer over?

[ashen shore]

Anything you want to transfer back tech and items

[runic wagon]

Paradise planet my butt… not if this exists here..

[clear slate]

thing is ive basically been playing for 20 something hours on my main and i just did the expedition today in about 4-6 sooo i dont rly know the value of things long term to actually keep

[ashen shore]

This expedition doesn't have any special exclusive items to give apart from the exo mech stuff and the egg and expedition rewards all can be claimed account wide

[wraith dew]

Would fighting with a pet and a minotaur increase the kill count towards the community goal?

[ashen shore]

So just transfer whatever is valuable

[clear slate]

stuff like hypnotic eye, repair kit etc but i assume those i can just throw cuz its one of each taking two slots

[ashen shore]

No clue

[clear slate]

coolio noted

can i do anything with rancid flesh?

[wraith dew]

It sells high and I thinks its a goal in phase 5

[ashen shore]

Besides cooking no

[clear slate]

kk thanks guys

[ashen shore]

Before going back to main save though if you have any ship or multitool tech or exclusive expedition ship parts you want to scrap to make a custom one you should consider doing something I'll explain it to you

You know how you can transfer ship and multitools from save to expedition well the tech stays on it so if you transfer a ship or multitool from expedition to main save and take it's tech off then go back to expedition after scraping your ship for it's parts or scrapping your multitool you can go back to the anomaly and copy it again keep repeating this all you want effectively duplicating ship parts and ship and multitool tech

You can do this regardless if the expedition is finished or not

As long as the anomaly is unlocked on expedition

Hope that wasn't to confusing

[low ember]

I though u couldn’t transfer stuff back to main save until ending the expedition

looks like its just the tech/storage you cant until the end?

[lilac crane]

want help? i can mine and give you the suffs

or help you get nanties / salvaged data to buy your own form the nexus

[ashen shore]

Ships and multitools can be transferred back regardless

Items and stuff can't

Yea my b

Is it better to scrap everything yourself after you are done with the expedition (and transferred the few items you can), or just let the game convert it to units/nanites after finalising the expedition?

[ebon urchin]

Dilema... which look to bring back:
The alien one is an A class, the other one is the one boosted with the expedition stuff. I don't have a good multitool yet in my main save...

[balmy aspen]

Bring both back, just equip whichever to your expedition save, and duplicate on your main save through the terminal. Rinse/repeat. I've done this for multiple multis and ships I wanna keep

You need around 1000-2000 nanites per transfer, but you can easily get that by killing sentinels on your normal save

[snow ruin]

#nms-questions message from
Whether it's best to start from a new save is debatable. If you do then any problems with the expedition can't transfer to your main save at least

[snow ruin]

Sounds reasonable enough.

[grizzled python]

Dont you get to keep the multitool though?

regarding saving up multitool expansions

[snow ruin]

If you've already got the max slots on the multitool you want to copy it's useful to have more expansion slots.
You also don't automatically keep the multitool used on the expedition if you did it through the anomaly, see #nms-questions message from

[grizzled python]

ah okay

Do you know if it costs a lot of nanites to get your ship and tool?

[snow ruin]

IIRC 2800 for the ship, don't know the MT

It may have been 1800 for the ship, I don't quite remember the actual first number. But x800, where x is 1 or 2

[full orchid]

Are you playing on the Switch? I have encountered this too on the Switch. I am not on the expedition, I'm on normal playthrough.

Nvm. I just noticed you are on the Switch. Didn't see your tags.

[grizzled python]

I see, i should be fine with 13000 then

[ashen shore]

I guess you could say their looking right at you

[fierce aspen]

So I wont get the inventory slots and hazard protection upgrades from Purged by Fire Optional Milestone until the Community thing is completed?

[snow ruin]

That's the first one, innit? Then you just need to kill 50 creatures on the expedition save to get that reward there. I do not believe you can claim that outside the expedition

[lethal mirage]

We did the first 2 so far

[fierce aspen]

ok I think I understand it. Thank you.

It doesn't matter where you stand. You can be behind them. On the left side, right side or riding them. Their heads remain on the right side. See here in my screenshots.

What time before kills count towards the community goal again?

[grizzled python]

From how I understand it, those that are unlocked right now will be free for you, but if you end the expedition now, the rest of them will be available to purchase with quicksilver

I may be wrong

[peak galleon]

ok

Hopefully my question isn't silly:

I completed all the main Liquidator quests but I don't want to transfer to my primary save if I cant continue the Purge By Fire milestones (I want to help progress it). Can I still do the optional milestone if I complete my expedition save and move to my primary?

Not if you end the expedition

[granite frigate]

I'm finding a lot of bases people have put effort into, without power and all the refiners blocked 'already open' or some such

[indigo falcon]

the refiner issue is a known bug, and there's nothing a base builder can do about it

no power is an odd thing though. do they just not put down solar panels and batteries, or what's up? if you save-reload at the base, does it work then?

[granite frigate]

One earlier worked with save/reload. It was powered by a hotspot.

[indigo falcon]

huh. how about others without power, what were they using? had they built any power pieces?

[granite frigate]

Save reload worked on this one too. Not sure what it is powered by, but I saw some batteries I think.

And the supply depots magically full too.

[indigo falcon]

ok. I'm asking because I have a couple uploaded bases I want people to be able to use, and I've put well more than enough solar/batteries, so if they aren't loading, it's a problem.

but I do not have any extractors down, so maybe it won't be an issue

[fierce aspen]

If I'm taking a multitool using the Expedition terminal in the Anomaly, do I remove any tech from it first before taking it in even if I dont want to take any tech with me?

[molten rune]

Its 'cause Abyssal horrors dont work anymore

[snow ruin]

I mean, I would like to copy all the tech over, I don't think it costs any more nanites with full tech vs no tech. If you don't want the tech later you can sell them for nanites to help cover the copy cost.

Though this expedition ends up with a strong MT just by doing the expedition

Yeah, I was debating even taking one.

[indigo falcon]

I did not take one in; the sentinel mt you get has scatter blaster on it right away and I think an upgrade or two? anyways you start out very strong. and you'll get class upgrades for it too as you go

[swift flume]

if you're worried about nanite costs just go to dissonant planets and farm radiant shards or whatever they're called and refine them, a full stack is 500 nanites and they are abundant

[flat canopy]

Copying over the MT can be beneficial if you have a cool but low-class MT on your main save

can copy it, upgrade to S with expedition rewards, then copy back

still much cheaper in nanites than direct upgrade

The start was a bit slower (shorter scan range, less units reward from scanning) but overall it was just fine for me.
Damage is great.

[swift flume]

did everybody else get the +7,000% scan reward mods?

[indigo falcon]

I got whatever the scanner modules gave me, the S class ones are always nice

hey we just got 30% of tier 3, everybody must be doing their part!

[exotic timber]

I noticed I can redeem expedition rewards on expedition mode even if I have redeemed them already in normal mode (same save). Does that mean I can always grab a S class tool and ship (Atlas staff, Iron Vulture etc.) whenever I reach the anomaly for all future expeditions with no strings attached?

[dusty elm]

What can I refine to make crystal sulphide?

[snow ruin]

I believe so, yes

[indigo falcon]

nothing, you need to get it from underwater 'hot air vents', scan in the hud for it

[snow ruin]

I don't think anything refines to crystal sulphide

[snow ruin]

The technical reason for that is probably that even if it's "the same save" the game basically makes a new save for the expedition and just "hides" your "main" save while you're in that expedition. When you switch back (without ending that expedition) it just changes which save it hides so your main save is now visible and the expedition save for the main save is hidden.

[exotic timber]

Nice, this makes it easy to dupe iron vulture parts for salvage

[snow ruin]

I quite wonder how many people have been helped by the pinned messages and just never say anything. It's really hard to know whether what people have made available have really helped people since it's mostly people that have trouble we get to hear from.
Though from the people that don't ask more questions after being told to check the pins I guess they do help quite a lot.

[indigo falcon]

it's worth having them, people that know this discord know to look there and won't even bother to mention it, and that's already a big win

[snow ruin]

Yeah, I wasn't saying it's not worth having them, mostly just a philosophical question about how many have been helped by them and never say anything XD

[indigo falcon]

yeah no way to know. it's like, well, being an instructor, you never know whether you've made a long term impact on someone until they drop you a line and say thanks some period of time later

in the meantime you toss your pebble out into the void and hope the ripples have meaning

[ashen shore]

You can help me by doing your part on the expiditon

[indigo falcon]

I have been 😄

[ashen shore]

[dusty elm]

Someone during my first expedition told me about the pinned messages and if I have time I look for answers there. I don't think the search function pulls up what's in there though.

[indigo falcon]

it will pull from all messages, and the pinned ones are just messages.

[dusty elm]

Oh ok!! I didn't notice it was doing that. The pinned messages is a great addition to the discord, especially nms expeditions!!

[indigo falcon]

I try to remember to look at pinned messages when I get to a new channel, very helpful (well most of the time 😉 )

[snow ruin]

Expeditions is really good with the pinned messages

But the other channels in this discord also has mostly great pinned messages

Better than a lot of others I've seen

[dusty elm]

I'm in groups on FB and some groups have a place where they add files. Is there a section like that here? Would be great for doc's like the one you post the other day (Liquidators System Summary) @indigo falcon

[dusky oracle]

Im hunting glyphs in expedition will it be carried to my main save?

[indigo falcon]

I don't know, that's not a file so much as a link, and that's only good for this expedition. But for files in general I don't know, we trend to separate out things by subject matter

[indigo falcon]

I don't believe so

[lapis gazelle]

Is there a way to end my expedition and turn my save into a normal save?

My quest log says that i can do it

[indigo falcon]

you started a new save for the expedition I take it?

[dusky oracle]

So my glyphs will be gone once expedition is over?

[indigo falcon]

the main save will have whatever it had. you did start from an existing save, right?

so it's just like learning words of the npc languages, those don't carry over either

[lapis gazelle]

Yes. Honestly thats my only save, I’ve lost my previous ones

[indigo falcon]

oh my

[lapis gazelle]

So ill have to wait until expedition end to get my save converted?

[indigo falcon]

well or wait for the optional milestones to be completed and you claim them, which should happen first

[lapis gazelle]

I just feel that the extra inv slots and tech from expedition are useful for a new start, since my old files were lost

[indigo falcon]

I don't know of a way to force end the expedition for a new save, with those optional milestones still open. maybe someone else does

oh sure and it's a great multitool you get too

[lapis gazelle]

I think i can do that with a save editor, but i dont like the idea of cheating

I guess ill have to start from 0 again :/

[dusky oracle]

Yes from existing save so I think I will stop hunting glyphs in expedition

[snow ruin]

You can end the expedition before the optional milestones, but that would mean you would have to buy the mech part plans instead of getting them from the optional milestone rewards.
Not like you can't do quite a lot to pave the way for your story playthrough once the expedition ends while being in the expedition to the end.

[indigo falcon]

unless you want to go somewhere specific, it's not worth it

[dusky oracle]

But I obtained one, will I lost that one?

[dusky oracle]

I see

[indigo falcon]

the glyphs you have will not carry over

[dusky oracle]

Okay but when Im back at main save, will I able to get all glyphs again or I will lose one that I already obtained?

[indigo falcon]

you can get them all

[lapis gazelle]

Sorry, but what exactly are those milestones ? Thats my first time doing an expedition

[dusky oracle]

Gotcha thanks

[snow ruin]

Purged by Fire

The only optionals this time, I think

[lapis gazelle]

Oh, thats like a community progress instead of a individual progress?

[indigo falcon]

if you look at phase 1,2,3,4,5 you see the last milestone has brackets around it, and it's called "purged by fire" or something, those are community milestones, you don't have to participate if you don't want to

(but you might as well, and get the items for free instead of paying quicksilver)

[lapis gazelle]

That explains why i was killing thousands of monsters and couldn’t get any progress in those archievments

[indigo falcon]

well you Did Your Part (for the day, now do it some other days :-P)

[bright juniper]

what is lure 3 deep sea monstrosities

[snow ruin]

Look at the description of it. click on it again

[lapis gazelle]

I cant stand monsters spawning from the ground every time i perform an action

[indigo falcon]

go to deep water (ocean), scan for "alluring specimens" (red icon with white orb), swim out to it, harvest the glowing orbs, then shoot what emerges

[bright juniper]

ok ty

[lapis gazelle]

Im not sure about old expeditions but this one its very tiresome

[indigo falcon]

uh huh, I did the weekend mission in the expedition save and it was a bit tedious to have the greenies around the grave

[lapis gazelle]

The problem is that they aren’t even challenging, just annoying

[indigo falcon]

this one is a lot less grindy than some, tbh. even the 4 walkers milestone can be made a lot quicker if you know the trick

there are a bunch of older players around that if I say "herox" at them, they would run screaming (previous expedition milestone)

[low ember]

How are the other expeditions from this year in that regard? Ill have to do them when they become available again

[indigo falcon]

best to look at previous "milestone/reward" posts for them. what was the immediately previous one, oh yeah Adrift, I thought that was ok

I guess the main milestone people found slow was scanning three robofauna

[bright juniper]

for people looking for abandoned buildings, you can trade nav dta for distress signal maps and spam those until you get the abandoned building.

what do you mean?

Rendezvous system

[indigo falcon]

if the player had already been and cleared those milestones, then it would be hard to get back to them again

[hollow kraken]

number?

[runic wagon]

How do I find that?

[hollow kraken]

yeah well if you are un the system due to an rendezvous or infestation there will of course be the number and also the teleporter in the space anomaly will list all the rendezvous systems

[clear slate]

Soooo basically, if i got it right, i basically want to get the best multitool and best ship on expedition, go back to main save and just copy them on repeat and scrap them? Or did i miss something?

For example i have and s class exotic on main. I can copy that on expedition. Then go back to main and now i can copy it on main as many times as i want?

Like the thing is dont get is where do i keep doing the copy and scrap. On main or on expo

If I end the expedition early, what happens exactly? I just can't the progress anymore? The atlas quest starts up? I'm transported somewhere?

[indigo falcon]

sorry for the long delay in replying. my find in the drop zone 4 system on the dissonant planet there (Kijavida Prime) looks like this, I thought the model was supposed to be the same per planet, strange...

[finite rover]

why in the name of snot did I think that there was a base building component to this expedition?

[indigo falcon]

no idea. but building a base to help other players is always cool

one of my bases got a bunch of litter at it, not uploading 😛 maybe you have better luck...

[fervent umbra]

Can you not lose sentinels by going inside buildings anymore?

[indigo falcon]

I do all the time. what happened when you tried it?

[fervent umbra]

I'm standing inside a building and they are still swarming around

[indigo falcon]

ok, but do you have a bunch of stars up in the upper right or not?

see, the sentinels remain after they stop hunting you.

[finite rover]

Truth. :)

[fervent umbra]

I don't know what the deal was but there was a dog-like sentinel stuck under the building I was in so I think he had detected me so once I got rid of him, I was able to lose their focus again.

[indigo falcon]

ok yeah the quads can get stuck under the floor of buildings and it's a right pain in the behind to get rid of them

[finite rover]

oh nice. you can do the jetpack quest in the safety of the anomaly.

also don't forget to pick up nanites for milestones and life scans.

[flat canopy]

they can get stuck underground too, if you dig tunnels while fighting

I had to dig up a dog to kill it a couple times

[finite rover]

That's a beautiful line when out of context. :)

[flat canopy]

please don't screenshot me

lol

[finite rover]

MUAHAHAHAHAHA! :)

[bold nebula]

Do the quest progress made while in a expedition transfer over to the main save? I just finished the deep sea one and I was wondering will it carry over ?

[indigo falcon]

no, you'll need to do it again on the main save

[bold nebula]

Shit

I'm stuck now, can't play till the optional milestones are done. Don't have enough quicksilver to buy the rewards later. This sucks

[indigo falcon]

units and nanites you generate on that save carry over, so do discoveries and bases

maybe explore some

[young crater]

Maybe I don't understand but how are you stuck?

[bold nebula]

I'm gonna end it early. The rewards of the optional milestones don't seem that worth it rn. Maybe I'll grind qs and buy it down the line

[bold nebula]

I unlocked a couple of quests and did it thinking that the progress would transfer over. Been finding cool freighters and ships I'd like to own but cant transfer freighters or frigates and can carry over only one ship from expedition. Been exploring for quite some time and discovered cool planets where I'd like to make my base and all that combined is discouraging me from continuing to play while in expedition mode.

[young crater]

Oh got it! I was just confused but that makes sense

It's the "do I play on the main save or the other save question right?"

[bold nebula]

Yeah that

[granite ridge]

bases created on an expedition character started from an existing save carry over once finished.

[bold nebula]

Holy shit I've never gotten that much nanites

[sand marlin]

That is a ton of nanites

[granite ridge]

and you might be able to copy any active ship/multitool (for nanites) one after another from exp char to main

copy active on primary, switch to exp character, switch active ship/mt, back to primary, copy once again

[tired condor]

Is there anything I really would regret not bringing to start this expedition? I don’t mind winging it but don’t want to kick myself over a couple particular things

[bold nebula]

I did that. Got everything I wanted. Most of it anyway

Time to explore againn

[snow ruin]

Not really. If you start from anomaly it can be nice to bring something to refine to nanites to copy your ship over, but you'll mostly get everything you need

[flat canopy]

Is it possible to end the expedition and then start another one linked to main save? Or only once per save

[median sparrow]

My nexus is so empty...

[snow ruin]

If you started this one from the main save then that's the only one you'll be able to do from the main save, yes

[flat canopy]

Thanks

[snow ruin]

If you started a new expedition save you can start one from a main save too

[tired condor]

Cool thanks, last time I brought a ton of stuff and didn’t really need it, this time ima just bring some oxygen and carbon and yolo

[snow ruin]

Expeditions are meant to be possible without bringing anything, since that's how they were always played until just a little while ago. And I'm guessing they will keep that possibility since a lot of people still start a new save for the expedition

[indigo falcon]

I brought nothing at all and it was fine

[granite ridge]

a packaged personal refiner is a convenience in the early minutes of the expedition

[indigo falcon]

now that I've completed everything, I finally went and got a sentinel interceptor which I'll likely bring back, because I like the model a lot. of course I'll take the multitool, on this save the best I have is an S rifle ( 🙄 )

[indigo falcon]

but they can't get it until after first warp is the thing

[snow ruin]

Gotta get to space and warp first

[granite ridge]

whick is pretty easily done this time

I had no reason to return to a planet or even go to a space station during the expiditon
It was a very quick one boom boom bam done

[indigo falcon]

I'm still playing that save, (long since completed the milestones), so I bounce around in different systems all the time

[raven plover]

Do you get to keep the rifle from this expedition?

[wraith junco]

U can copy last active mt to your main save

[indigo falcon]

I am assuming you started the expedition from an existing save?

[nova isle]

Any1 down to play the expedition?

[slender wraith]

Does the Individual kills: 150 and counting means that I can only add 150 kills to the counter?

[indigo falcon]

no, that's the minimum total kills you need to have done to get credit so you can get the item for free

now as is happens we think the total per day that "counts" is 150. but that's independent of what the ui says

e.g. for tier 1 it said 50, limit was still we think 150 a day

in a day? not really. you can co to the catalogue tab, click milestones, look at the mercenary category, and it will show total for horrors and sentinels, and you can check at the start of the day and then again later on, but that's the best I can say.

[slender wraith]

1187 kills on biohorrors. 🙂

[fervent nexus]

No

[slender wraith]

No gifs?

Sorry

[ashen shore]

Rookie numbers you need to pump them numbers up

[indigo falcon]

nope. try #memes🤡 for that sort of thing

[slender wraith]

removed it. 😄

Back to the bug smashing then. North or South? 😄

[indigo falcon]

North, going alphabetically 😛

[ashen shore]

One step closer to the flamethrower arm for every bug we kill
It's hard honest work

[indigo falcon]

oh PSA if you started the expd from an existing save, this is a fine time to collect juicy grubs to take back to the main save later and crush thm all, to get the helmet drops from the brood mother if you have not gotten them already, also the title. because very world has them in the expd you run across them all over

[wintry void]

2610 sentinel kills

[ashen shore]

That's what I'm talking bout

[ashen shore]

My helmet rng was so weird had to kill over a hundred queens

[indigo falcon]

on the main save? oof

[fervent nexus]

I’m pretty much sticking to the quicksilver one I have enough quicksilver to unlock the liquidator body but I need to get the leg and the flamethrower and I have to wait till we get to tier 5

[bold nebula]

I was just doing ship hunting ( and I did that a lot ) and scanning everything I found. So a lot of fauna and yeah a shit tonne of sentinel hunting. I was just doing normal stuff don't remember doing anything special

[ashen shore]

No I did it 8n expi save

[indigo falcon]

oh, and you got helmets? it must be a very low drop rate,I would wait for the main save, where the drop rate is something like 20%

[slender wraith]

Btw if I get the Liquidator parts for the Goliath on the expedition, and start a new game, then I can take them out from the quicksilver vendor, right?

[ashen shore]

Yeah rng was not on my side

[raven plover]

Yes

[indigo falcon]

so you can make copies of the active ship and multitool back on the main save

it costs some nanites for each.

[raven plover]

How

[raven plover]

Anomoly?

[indigo falcon]

it will be via that terminal, yeah

I think you switch back to the main save via the options menu and then check the anomaly terminal, but I've not tried it myself (for if you want to keep playing the expedition, which I do)

[raven plover]

Gotcha

Thanks

[indigo falcon]

yeah, I would check guides and such on that one, be sure before you try it

[agile arrow]

Regarding the community goals for the expedition, what completion % of what goal are we up to by now?

[indigo falcon]

39%, you can run in the #bot-spam channel the command !tier (or just scroll up a little to see if anyone ran it in the last few minutes)

[agile arrow]

Thank you!

[raven plover]

How do you transfer rewards to main save?

Just buy em and they’ll pop up in the market

[indigo falcon]

rewards automatically become available, via the quicksilver vendor.

[raven plover]

Ahhh

First expedition, popping my cherry

[indigo falcon]

now for transfering tech/resources back there, you need to use the anomaly terminal

[raven plover]

Do you gotta go to the space terminal to get the ship? Or does it automatically pop up in your freighter?

[raven plover]

What do you mean? Like use the anomoly terminal to revert to primary save?

[indigo falcon]

if you want to copy the ship, you will get the option to do that at the anomaly terminal also, it needs to be the active one

[raven plover]

Or to go to your base

[indigo falcon]

the anomaly terminal has a little stash where you can put up to 8 tech and 24 of other items in it

[raven plover]

Ohhhh got it

Makes sense now

[indigo falcon]

I would check a guide on this if you're not sure, there are plenty available.

[half gull]

anyone that knows where to find some deep sea montrosities?

[indigo falcon]

starter planet, scan for "alluring specimens" in the hud, red icon with white orb

[half gull]

thanks : )

[median sparrow]

Friends.

I was not kind to the sentinels nor bugs today.

[valid roost]

Any planet rlly as long as it has a large body of water

Your best options will be boggy planets, paradise planets or any other planet of that category (eg marsh, or humid)

[coarse garnet]

How far is the shared objective now ?

[coarse garnet]

Go to any deep waer body and look for strange specimen (appear red while scanning)

[median sparrow]

Currently says 39 for me

[dusky oracle]

Do we have to finish the expedition first to be able to transfer expedition items to main save?

I checked just now I can’t transfer yet I have not finished my expedition

Gotcha

[shrewd onyx]

Remember to use “return to main save” from the options menu if you have more items to move than will fit so that you can go back and do the next batch.

[tulip spire]

Timberwolf phase is a tough one, especially when you play first person
But i did it

[dusky oracle]

Can we do the multiple transfer to main save? I thought we can’t

[shrewd onyx]

You can (or should still be able to!) so long as you don't trigger the final scores.

[dusky oracle]

Hmm how? I open the termnal but I can’t put items there or maybe I haven’t try yet

Oh so we have to finish the expedition first but we still can access expedition area and do multiple transfers? Sorry too much asking lol

[median sparrow]

Scrapped the sentinel ship that was handed to us and got 42m ezpz

[ebon urchin]

does the expedition end with the terminal, or when we hit the complete button of the last phase?

[winter notch]

the optional milestone is community goal?

[ashen shore]

The only thing keeping me from finishing the expedition, is the purged by fire stuff. I am on level 3, now 40% and the thing keep surging me to end the expedition lol

[tepid grove]

yup

[ashen shore]

I have killed hundreds of horrors and only moved it a few points lol

[blissful lily]

My game crashed and when I relaunched all the optional objectives were marked incomplete and they are stuck that way. I’m assuming that it’s not possible anymore for me to get those rewards when the community reaches those objectives?

[winter notch]

so if i end early i dont get the exocraft stuff?

[ashen shore]

I don't think so....

[ebon urchin]

I beleive you would have to pay for them at the vendor but I'm not sure

not sure what it would cost tho, but there is about 1 week required to get the last tier for sure

[ashen shore]

I am not chancing it lol It's not like a need the armor for my exocraft but it is something new yaknow.... I got 9k hrs in game lol

I could end it now but I am too greedy lol I want that armor

[lethal mirage]

it's a community goal

everyone progresses it

(probably) 150 kills per day, likley resetting at midnight at the HG HQ's time zone

[ebon urchin]

how many slot can we get in a multi-tool? I'm farming the expansion module item with the rep vendor for free 🙂

[tepid grove]

depends what class it is

[ashen shore]

a staff is 60

[tepid grove]

Isn't that

[snow ruin]

There is an explantion of most of this in the 📌

[tepid grove]

or does have more than 60 and it's with 60

[ashen shore]

yes

[tepid grove]

do they both have 60 slot?

[ashen shore]

I just counted them

[ashen shore]

It is s class only

[tepid grove]

Ah. Not sure what my multitool's max is since I've only got 27 rn and I haven't added any

[ashen shore]

A class has 10 less.

[tepid grove]

I have 2 expansion slots rn so

[ashen shore]

wait, we get the exocraft armor from the vendor?

I will buy it lol

[ebon urchin]

some people tell it can come from the quicksilver vendor for nanite but I really don't know and will wait

[raven plover]

Where do you find the apex predator

[elder berry]

first make sure yoru settigns are set that wildlife may attack you. otherwise you cant find them anyway. then go aroudn on planets. you may find them then when there are animals

[snow ruin]

[lilac star]

what are those liquidators left arm, leg etc prints in the optional missions in the expedition

[karmic valve]

does anyone know by chance on whether its more effective to farm the small swarms or better to kill the big broodmothers for % in the optional milestones?

[wintry void]

i just kill sentinels

get easy nanites too

[elder berry]

a new set of mech modifications, more armor, and cosmetic. and an option to make it more meelee-ish

[loud barn]

Yah I was wondering if brood mothers just count as 1 bug ?

[wintry void]

probably

same as a walker is 1 sentinel

[loud barn]

True

[loud barn]

Killing sentenials now give nanites. But at the end of the expedition bugs will give the nanites right ? So what's better I wonder

[wintry void]

killing sentinels give salvaged glass, which when opened gives modules that then can be sold for nanites at station

[loud barn]

👍

[loud barn]

Do you find that's the best way to farm your nanites ?

[wintry void]

thats the way I do it, its very slightly less boring than being stood at refiners whilst refining mould, instead im stood there shooting stuff

[gentle crystal]

How to progress liquidation?

[granite ridge]

Kill

(valid enemies)

They're listed in the description/tooltip of the milestone

[gentle crystal]

Hmmmmmmmmmm... Where can I find vile brood after clearing all expedition milestone?

[lethal mirage]

everywhere

[granite ridge]

Squish those grubs

[gentle crystal]

Ohhh

[granite ridge]

Planets that have them say so when scanned in space

[snow ruin]

Also some info in

[lost heart]

I have collected sentinel ships that randomly have aqua jets installed.

[jagged sedge]

I believe it; I have seen them equipped with other stuff too, like a cargo scan deflector, etc

[lost heart]

I’ve also had luck with S class finds in pirate systems, although my sample size is small…. 2 out of 3

[keen orbit]

Let’s say I return from expedition without doing the optional community challenges can I later do an expedition and get them that way?

[jagged sedge]

Probably, but you'd have to squish a minimum number of bugs to get them -- I think

Might be better to just let it finish as is

[keen orbit]

Ok how long does it usually take to finish it

[lost heart]

I’ve moved a couple of MTs and ships already.

[keen orbit]

Cause I am running around killing bugs and robots

[jagged sedge]

Keep up the good work, it will help everyone

[keen orbit]

Ok

[jagged sedge]

👍

[snow ruin]

AFAWK it's 150 kills per day each person can contribute to the community goals

The "150 kills and counting" is not talking about that

[jagged sedge]

I think I saw [in the Switch version] phase 1 was 50, phase 2 was 100, phase 3 is 150 - might be increasing the daily count as we progress?

[median sparrow]

I just kinda murder for an hour.

And call it good.

I know anything extra doesn't count, but it gives me the warm and fuzzies.

So I count it, in my heart.

[snow ruin]

Check the links to the datamined material. The 50 - 100- 150 is just what's needed for you to get the reward for that milestone, not contributions counted, AFAWK

[jagged sedge]

The rib meat can sell for a decent price, so -- there's that

[median sparrow]

I'll sell your rib meat. 😠

[jagged sedge]

Welp, we'll get it done soon enough, either way

[median sparrow]

I'm gonna hoard all of their meats.

[jagged sedge]

I'm a grandpa, my meat's no good

[snow ruin]

Well seasoned

[median sparrow]

Exactly.

Aged.

Dry.

[jagged sedge]

Yup

Makes it better.

No gifs in this channel please

[ashen shore]

i was going to say im doing my part but the bot got me lol

[ashen shore]

I've been in the game for so long that all the good ships just carry over to my expeditions. I did find a few of those new sentinel ships but I sold them for scrap

[pearl wren]

the dissonance ones?

[ashen shore]

yep

[pearl wren]

im just tryna find one to carry over onto my main save

[ashen shore]

Well that dissonance stuff happnes on one of those planets. There is one in the systems you have to go to .

i have a sentinal ship but its c class , im looking for atleast an a class

or anything good looking really 🥲

[wraith junco]

Focus on looks. Class u can always upgrade later

[soft pilot]

hi, when you go to the anomaly while in expedition, are all the players you see in the anomaly also on expeditions? or can i meet a friend that is not on the expedition?

ok thanx 🙂

why not level up the one you have?

sell upgrades XD farm glass and sell the upgrades

where do i sell upgrades

cuz i have bunch

[ashen shore]

at the vendors on the space station

try !option oldschool on 👀

[ashen shore]

instead of buying upgrades you sell them for the nanites

[pearl wren]

ok thanks bro

i shall go do that now

I wish the UI would tell us what counts towards the "max # of tech on a device" type thing.

I don't wanna guess what's going towards the limit.

[snow ruin]

There is some way to see it, IIRC. Don't remember exactly how right now. Someone in #nms-questions would probably know it off the top of their head

Not directly, but with some "rule of thumb" thing

[ashen shore]

Real command?

[median sparrow]

Try it.

Worst case scenario? It isn't.

Best case? It works.

[ashen shore]

! option oldschool on

[unkempt kraken]

@ashen shore Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[ashen shore]

It's real

[snow ruin]

Purple entities should know better

[median sparrow]

Does anyone else's game have these odd backgrounds?

[snow ruin]

That really doesn't sound like an expedition question. But no, I don't

[proven crater]

Do I have to wait for the community to hit all the goals to get the liquidator pieces or can I finish the expedition?

[median sparrow]

You can finish it without the community goals.

[wanton frigate]

Don't you have to hang around till the expedition ends / goals are met to get the liquidator pieces for free?
Bear in mind though, you can revert to your regular save and leave the expedition on ice, then return to it later via the anomaly once the goals are met. Or, you know, once a day to Do Your Part.....

[proven crater]

Yes but will I get the liquidator pieces or will I still have to pay quicksilver?

[median sparrow]

I think you need to claim the optional milestones t oget the parts for free.

[topaz notch]

how can i tell if i've already killed 150 for the day? is there a fixed number of spawns per encounter with the little green aliens? if i kill all of them is that an easy way to know how many i killed?

i can 1 shot them with my scatter gun on close range so i can sometimes wipe them completely until the spawning subsides

[elfin hull]

So far it's just guessing.

[topaz notch]

ah damn. when i was killing em and i saw 150 and counting on this thing i stopped. pretty sure i didnt hit my number yet

thanks i will just wipe a whole horde for 20minutes or something i guess

[elfin hull]

I don't think that's a kill counter.

Mhm.

[topaz notch]

yeah i think i realize that now

it just stays at that 150 and counting now no matter how many more i kill

can i transfer the pet egg i received for completing the milestones to my main save without ending the expedition yet?

[atomic estuary]

You can't transfer pets or eggs at all. If it was a phase reward, a unique pet, then you'll be able to redeem that egg at quicksilver companion on the space anomaly.

[topaz notch]

oh thank you. i will check the QS npc. it was the purple spider egg you get as a reward really like the look of the pet i hope its claimable in main game.

[rough mortar]

Oh ya I just hatched mine

And got a little grub as a pet

[atomic estuary]

Yeah, it is a unique pet. You should see that egg available at quicksilver companion when you get back to your primary save

[topaz notch]

yeah mean looking egg

[topaz notch]

awesome thank you!

[rough mortar]

It’s a cool looking one though

Does everyone have the same colored one though?

Mine is red

[topaz notch]

maybe ill check mine now. when i hatched the egg you get in the expedition i remember it looking purple. but then i reloaded my quicksave thinking i couldnt transfer the egg back to my main save.

[topaz notch]

yeah mine is pink

[rough mortar]

Damn noice

I got the red variant then😎

So do I have this now?

[topaz notch]

yeah once you complete all the milestones it shows up in the quick silver npc's expedition rewards section

so you can claim it

[arctic epoch]

any tips on what to take with me when starting the expedition?

[warm sedge]

i usually take warp drive fuel and all the stuff you need to live

but i'm bad at expeditions so

[rough mortar]

Ok I will need to check this soon

[median sparrow]

Just some QOL stuff that would help you.

The expedition rewards give you a lot of goodies

[topaz notch]

from personal experience:

• with the tech stuff, i hoped i took my exosuit jectpack tech for movement. no need to take your multitool/ship tech because you can just claim and make a copy of your entire multitool and ship (including their installed tech mods) once you get to the anomaly in the expedition.
  for the cost of nanites (total of 5600 for both). so i would take maybe 3 jetpack mods and then 2x 10 stack of the purple mode you unlock in salvage glass to then sell in the expedition for nanites so you can buy a copy of your MT/ship.
• with resources stuff, i took recharging comsumables like carbon, oxygen, sodium, warp cells, launch fuels, tritium, etc.

[wanton frigate]

Yeah tritium. For some reason I had to manually fly for about 15-20 minutes to find any "regular" (explodey) asteroids after running out of pulse fuel the first time. Really annoying.

[ashen shore]

Full body set? Where's the body or legs then
