nms-expedition

[plucky briar]

you get one for free in the expedition

[summer kraken]

It's Sentinels, Biological Horrors, and Brood Mothers (including their spawn).

[low fractal]

trying to figure it out, im on like phase 3

[summer kraken]

It'd actually be kinda cool to be able to command the Minotaur to do specific things.

Like having it mine for stuff while you go elsewhere to take down some Sentinels.

[magic hazel]

we at tier 3 progress 68% lol

[balmy aspen]

There's a lot to learn! Take your time, you have enough to get it all done

[low fractal]

yeah, im taking my time and just trying to do a little bit of everything

[snow ruin]

I hope you've looked at the pins, especially the part about that you don't have to do things quite in order

Other than that, just have fun and try to learn. It's a bit more hectic with all the bugs popping up in the expedition, though

[plucky briar]

btw do the predators you need to scan count for the deap sea monstrosity thing too?

[low fractal]

i quite like the bugs, its added some more fun

[plucky briar]

I just realized you meant the enemies and not game bugs

[scenic axle]

Pls do ur 1500 kills in the expedition

[snow ruin]

According to some that has been patched

[plucky briar]

so the only monstrosities are the ones that spawn at the red specimen thing?

[scenic axle]

The progress is soo slow

[snow ruin]

That's what I've been told, yes

[snow ruin]

Each person can contribute up to 150 kills per day, as far as we know, source in pins

[scenic axle]

Bruh and i farm this 🥲

[snow ruin]

Well, you've heard it now

[scenic axle]

I have almost 2k kills

[plucky briar]

I thought it keeps counting cuz it says "150 and counting" ingame, wouldnt that mean the tooltip is straight up lying

[ocean gorge]

Is this going to run for another month or so?

[snow ruin]

No, the tooltip is for something else. It's basically the minimum you need to be eligible for the reward for free

yes

The time is in the pins

[ocean gorge]

Found it thanks

[snow ruin]

The first tier was 50 kills minimum, the second tier was 100 kills. This third tier is 150 kills

[scenic axle]

Sometimes these descriptions can be easily misunderstood

[snow ruin]

Oh yeah

To be fair, that there is a maximum contribution per person probably isn't exactly meant to be known, but it was dug up by some people

[plucky briar]

seems very counter-intuitive for sure

[magic hazel]

eyyy got 69% progress

[snow ruin]

It's logical that they would implement a maximum per day per person, otherwise cheaters would have put the 50 million (or whatever the number was) in the first day

[primal arch]

I kinda wish they'd increase the daily cap but I also get that it's supposed to run for 6 weeks lol

[ornate wing]

I kill roughly 150-200 grubs a day.

[snow ruin]

If the rate keeps up we're going to finish way before the expedition is done

[ornate wing]

My goal is 5k kills before expendition is over for grubs and at least 2k sentinals

[snow ruin]

Incidentally I've killed maybe 400 today. Not even trying

[ornate wing]

Yea, if your busy hanging around structures it gets super easy. Settlments get raided like every 5 mins

Kind of hoping the next enemy/event is humaniod enemies.

[snow ruin]

I doubt they'll do that, but feel free to hope

Note the addition of a new enemy in Worlds.

[snow ruin]

I know nothing about that.

I just say they will add 3k units deep water

[random oak]

Just heard on a stream that it's 150 kills for the whole expedition, not per day.
Is this true or is it still 150 PER DAY?

Like you kill 150 and you did your part for the whole event

[snow ruin]

Check the source in the pins, the datamine implies per day, not total

[random oak]

OK thanks, I am fresh here. Checked on the pins but I couldnt find it

[stone lotus]

I'm not doing my part until someone confirms it's not just on a timer lol

[snow ruin]

The second from the top pinned message has the link in the "How do I do Purged by Fire"

[snow ruin]

It is very doubtful it's just a timer, see the datamined material I referenced above

[random oak]

Thank you

[magic hazel]

ok so now i doscovered some new things about pirate systems and im into this game even more now lol

[lusty slate]

The expedition doesn't end until September 2nd. This is designed to last for a chunk of that time.

And the tooltip just indicates the minimum kills needed to qualify for the tier reward when it's reached. That's all. 50 kills each tier, going by 1-3.

[ornate wing]

Find ancient gate. Takes me less then the distance then my own max warp range...

grant it my warp range is almost 800

[snow ruin]

Just putting this information out here with image proof; On my main save I now have the T2 reward from the expedition unlocked (I did claim it on the expedition I started from the main save).
So it looks to me like it will be unlocked account wide (although it may just be because of starting the expedition from this save) automatically without the need to go to the vendor to unlock it.
This is not confirmed for whether this also applies for new saves created for the expedition where the optional milestone is claimed on the new separate save and whether that also unlocks it account wide.

[fluid flax]

So does the brood queen provide anything in a normal save?

I just finished one off outside of the expedition and I seem to have gotten nothing

[snow ruin]

They can provide you a helm cosmetic, I got one when doing a nexus mission to kill 3 of them.

[brazen violet]

Helmet and title unlocks

But it is rng

[snow ruin]

The percentage chance is unknown by me

[fluid flax]

Gotcha

And it's a helmet unrelated to the expedition helmet?

[snow ruin]

Correct, at least from my understanding

[fluid flax]

Okay cool cool

thank you very much

[snow ruin]

This community is so courteous

[stray gale]

Problem is, the longer an event goes, the more people just fall off.

The internet has severe ADHD.

[summer kraken]

Forgot to mention:

Hello Games is able to adjust the speed at which progress in these Community related goals any time they wish.

[stray gale]

Oh, that's good.

[snow ruin]

Not to mention that it often ends up being quite a few that only start doing the expedition in the last week

[summer kraken]

From my knowledge, they've actually done so quite a bit.

And another nice tidbit:
Some of the stuff in Worlds is actually stuff that's likely going to be in Light No Fire (like the improved water and clouds), it's being put in No Man's Sky seemingly as a way to test these developments and potential features with players in real time.

Aka: Cross-pollination.

It's surprisingly resourceful and with the execution of said cross-pollination Hello Games uses is almost masterful in my eyes.

[lusty slate]

Sean straight up said in the WP1 vid that a lot of it is LNF tech being backported to NMS, yep.

[summer kraken]

I know-

Some people don't catch on or bother checking those news.

[bleak bough]

How many kills does everyone have in the expidition so far

[cerulean olive]

No way to check that

[bleak bough]

Wrong

[stray gale]

Way more than 150...

[cerulean olive]

so, how then?

[bleak bough]

Mercenary guild milestones

[flint totem]

Thanks for doing 10 peoples' parts

[bleak bough]

I'm fast

[west heron]

can someone tell me if it is possible to find the drills that give you inverted mirrors in the expedition? im at a dissonant planet and im trying to get a sentinel ship but i cant seem to find a drill

[lusty slate]

No concrete way to tell how many of those actually counted for the milestones though.

[stray gale]

So, your Merc count starts over if you took a main save into the Expo?

[bleak bough]

I don't take saves into expiditions

[west heron]

??

[plucky briar]

the pins say 150 per day per player

[cerulean olive]

You can scan for them. they should show up on the scanner.

[snow ruin]

Should absolutely be possible, yes.

[lusty slate]

You don't actually take your entire main save into the expedition. You can use your main save to send a care package and your main save current avatar appearance is brought over.

But (most) everything else is a clean slate like a new save.

[snow ruin]

I have only 563 horror kills over the 3 days I've played

[bleak bough]

My main save is permadeath so I just leave it be and play the expedition raw

[plucky briar]

I finished the expedition in 1 day tbh

[bleak bough]

I have a normal save with almost 300 hours but I don't play it anymore

[lusty slate]

I have had drills on dissonant planets in the exped, yes. I fought all my corrupted Sentinels with the Minotaur right next to one.

Sometime it just takes a while for one to show up

[bleak bough]

I probably have 300 hours in just lost permadeath saves alone 🤣

[lusty slate]

I am doing permadeath once for as long as it takes me to get the title and that's it.

[cerulean olive]

3,749 horrors and 1,925 sentinels. 33 walkers too for me.

[bleak bough]

I just stick to vile brood because it's the fastest

[cerulean olive]

I tend to stick to sentinels, for the nanites

[summer kraken]

Also data-mining has confirmed there is a 150 daily contribution limit in the Liquidation Goal.

[lusty slate]

But standing on a building lobbing explosives at horrors while you laugh maniacally is fun!

...what ya'll looking at me like that for?

[snow ruin]

I got to the point where I just sent grenades into the same spawning point killing all the horrors again and again

[plucky briar]

does that require you to play the game every day or can you kill 300 today and it will count for tomorrow too

[snow ruin]

The first

At least from what we understand

[summer kraken]

It is, from my testing.

[flint totem]

My neutron cannon staff almost covers the circumference of their surfacing

[snow ruin]

The limit usually resets at some specific time instead of being added to how many you can kill and have count

Although I do think it probably would've been cool if the system worked like you could save up contribution limits.
It would let late entrants also contribute as much as people that joined earlier by becoming a nightmare for the horrors

[lusty slate]

My rp for my cyborg Gek is that they're a total pyro gageteer genius that blew their legs off and nonchalantly replaced them with constructs. Tossing grenades at horrors while jumping around is on brand. 😛

[bleak bough]

That sucks

That's like a swarm and a half

[compact crypt]

I find that the fastest way to get the 150 kills is to find an abandoned shelter using distress maps, and use the eggs to proc swarms of bio horrors, and plasma grenade/neutron cannon them. Not sure if my minotaur assists count.

[snow ruin]

We don't believe that minotaur assists count

[bleak bough]

My save is just sitting on an airless planet

[compact crypt]

makes sense. But it means I can stick to doing main save stuff. I just completed the Atlas Path on my new main save.

Is there info as to when the counts restart? I.e. is there too early in the day or time between?

[bleak bough]

Feels like it was made that way to limit progress

Otherwise we might be done already 🤣

[vocal arrow]

If anyone needs money in new expedition I could give 1.2 bil

[snow ruin]

We don't quite know, but I've heard it speculated that it resets about the same time that the friday clock for weekend QS missions start

I don't know which time that is

[compact crypt]

The design reason seems mainly to make sure that everyone has the option of contributing and it doesn't get done really quickly via exploits. The main thing I wish is they'd scale up a bit and actually track counts.

[compact crypt]

That makes sense - I don't know what time that is, though

[snow ruin]

Though if you look at #nms-expedition message (and hover over the timestamp) it might be that time. So in about 12 hours.

I don't know, though

[compact crypt]

fair. If we had an accurate tracking of the contribution, someone could experiment. Or, I don't know if this is something that could be datamined

I'd like to learn a bit more about datamining safely and ethically, mostly in the the context of NMS. What are good resources?

[snow ruin]

I really don't know. Might be that there are some knowledgeable people in #nms-modding

[lethal mirage]

I've just been getting on to kill my 150

Then leaving again

[lusty slate]

Likely done that way to prevent modders cheating it.

[fleet laurel]

Can't seem to unlock masks. I have squashed many queens

[ornate wing]

Eh, I think it's more to assure everybody plays tell the end. Otherwise new peeps would just see zero players after 2 weeks in.

[fleet laurel]

Has anyone found a work around for not recieving bug mask.....bug

[dusky oracle]

question about suspicious packet, can I bring it to main save? or better just open it?

[snow ruin]

Outside of the expedition?

[snow ruin]

They turn into X upgrades, IIRC. Might be more useful to bring them to the main save as suspicious packet. I think they stack higher that way

[fleet laurel]

Haven't tried squashing outside the expedition.

I'm about to though

[snow ruin]

I got one piece of headgear while battling 3 queens for a nexus mission on my main save.

[fleet laurel]

[hot blade]

I have a few S-class in my regular save and the Atlas staff
I'll probably just stuck to those and leave this one to the expo

Is it the strongest damage dealer MT available in game ?

[bold musk]

What do you think my odds are of this planet changing after expedition? I really love the floating pedestals for bases...I hope they don't remove them.honestly wondering if it's worth extensively working on it or not.

[snow ruin]

150 per day, background counting.
The 150 that you may see on screen has no relation to it, it is simply the minimum required to get the tier 3 reward for free in the expedition.
When T4 is started it will end up saying 200 and counting.
To keep track of your kills per day it can be useful to use the loot from enemies as a counter

[snow ruin]

It has a possibility to have the strongest bonus to damage, if I remember the chart correctly

[ornate wing]

Another way you can track is going to your Mercernary Guild Standing. It will have total monsters and sentinals you killed

[ornate wing]

I think it's pretty safe bet it won't change. Only real terrain thing in the expendition is the eye. Otherwise the expendition itself not really changing terrain. The exception of course is part 2 of the update having some dramatic effect.

[bold musk]

Oh ok thanks.ive never seen a planet like this,so assuming it's new content.

[atomic estuary]

Let's stick to the topic, only NMS images and links here

[coarse garnet]

Do you know if there is any way to get the liquidator minotaur upgrade back to severals main saves ?

[meager scroll]

It's a QS unlock

You just buy the blueprints from QS shop once the community progress unlocks them

[coarse garnet]

Floating islands are indeed new contents.
Actually this expedition let your travel on most of the updated biomes.

• Floating islands
• Desert Plants
• Vitrified stones on volcanic planets

And so on

[coarse garnet]

Oh nice. Thanks.
I will definitely get them back from the expedition too

[dusky oracle]

question about minotaur upgrade from expedition, will it be transferred to main save?

Im hesitating to install it now

[granite ridge]

Yes, but there's currently glitch in place that states "already collected" on primary. Probably because the expedition save is "the same" as the primary

This should resolve when the exp save finished

But you can also craft, package and nexus terminal transfer the actual modules to save on resources

[elder yarrow]

for the sentinels, does it matter if it's ground or space?

[dusky oracle]

gotcha thanks

and we only have 1 chance to transfer all upgrades and items to main save?

[snow ruin]

Have you checked if it is unlocked on several saves after you've gotten the first arm unlocked on the expedition?

[snow ruin]

From the pins: #nms-questions message

[snow ruin]

Ground only from what's been told to me

How do u transfer item from expdetiton account to primary?

you can transfer up to 8 tech items and 24 resources via the stash at the anomaly terminal, from the expedition version of a save back to the regular version

what about the unit, nanites and quicksilver that i have onj the account?

[granite ridge]

They get collected and transferred to the primary once you finish the expedition, if you started from an existing save

The latter

[woeful niche]

If you started the expedition from an existing save, you can return to that save without finishing the expedition at any time. You can then rejoin the expedition at any time. If you finish the expedition, you cannot "go back".

well then i will stay in it then couse i have done all the main quests : P and collected all the rewards so i will just play on that and try to do the quest so it might go little faster last i checked phase 3 was on 78%

[fluid flax]

Oh? Good to know

[mental saddle]

Mine stopped counting at 150, even though I killed multiple times that...

The hell?

[granite ridge]

it counts until you killed enough to claim that milestone (once the goal is done)

[mental saddle]

Just join on your save and do it again

[mental saddle]

Does killing more count towards the goal or do I need to start another expedition save?

[granite ridge]

yes it does - up to 150 each day

[fluid flax]

I was thinking of doing that but also the survival difficulty would carry over wouldn't it?

[mental saddle]

Expedition doesn’t care.

The moment you’re in expedition save it is expedition rules completely.

Aight. Thanks! 👍

[main dove]

ny advice on killing sentinel walkers? Ive defeated 5 of them but the counter still says 0/4 on the expedition milestone. It doesn't help that I'm on PS5 and it crashes regularly against sentinel fights.

[granite ridge]

you killed 5 of the large ones, that appear at 5 star sentinel alert level? the game claims "sentinel walker detected" also for the minotaur-sized mechs

[mental saddle]

84

[mental saddle]

Basically you need to beat all 5 sentinel waves

[crimson trail]

[mental saddle]

This expedition is progressing way faster than previous ones

We might finish it in a few days

[tame shale]

Is it just me or does every so often the optional milestone count go off its feed?

[crimson trail]

Progress is slowing down. We got the first 2 tiers in no time, but this one is going slower. Still I wouldn't be suprised if we get to the end of T4 this weekend

[tame shale]

Sometimes it says "0%" for all the tiers....then it comes back. I have settled down on a nice planet and log in, destroy eggs and kill sentinels all day to try and get the milestone done.

[mental saddle]

Weekends = more people playing

[mental saddle]

Visual glitch

[crimson trail]

Exactly!

[mental saddle]

We could maybe finish the expedition this weekend

We'll see

[snow ruin]

Remember that you can contribute a maximum of 150 kills per day (that is counted) from what people have found. See the links to it in the pins

[tame shale]

oh goodness gracious OK

[mental saddle]

We can create multiple expedition saves

[snow ruin]

There is no actual counter for this, you will have to count loot or other such things yourself

Yk I was thinking this to myself at one point and was wondering if it would actually work

[main dove]

Oh, there's different walkers? Well that's just awful

[mental saddle]

Works

[valid roost]

Oh neat

[tame shale]

Yah the big guys are super tall

[mental saddle]

Technically the walker is just the last one, but the game calls both walkers

[valid roost]

Does it have to be from a different console and account or can it be the same, just on a different save?

[main dove]

The dog ones wreck me with their laser

[granite ridge]

this one counts

[tame shale]

@main dove yeah those are serious

[mental saddle]

Use the paralysis mortar

[mental saddle]

Paralysis mortar is your best friend against sentinels

[main dove]

I need to upgrade my guns more and probably buy a boatload more plasma

Ah, paralysis it is then

[tame shale]

Minotaur is also v. useful

[granite ridge]

it's more convenient to do that milestone after getting to dropzone 3 > minotaur + cannon upgrades

[tame shale]

I get the feeling I'm not going to get to take my Cannon Upgrades back home with me

[valid roost]

You can, its just limited to 8 tech

[snow ruin]

From the pins: #nms-questions message

[mental saddle]

Yeah

Minotaur has paralysis mortar too and it has way more ammo

Just be careful because if any tech on the minotaur breaks during combat you'll have a bad time fixing

[tame shale]

Spoiler:|| I got one of those bug pets does that mean I can't take him with?||

[snow ruin]

It's a reward you can claim through vendor on any other saves

[valid roost]

Nope

[snow ruin]

At least from what people have told me

[tame shale]

OK! thank you

[valid roost]

Though you can get it from the vendor

[valid roost]

You can, though the display image when you do hover over the companion in the menu shows the gnawing scuttler

According to this one yt video I found you're not meant to claim it until hg have fixed the display cause apparently it might 'bug your game' but I already claimed it beforehand and no bugs occurred

[snow ruin]

If no bugs occured that seems like a bug ;P

[valid roost]

Ykwim lol

[tame shale]

I've thoroughly enjoyed this expedition

If I leave before the sub-quests (# of things killed) are fulfilled, I won't get the special body parts right?

[willow rivet]

Did we get any community goals yet?

[tame shale]

yes #s 1 and 2

[molten raptor]

Do we have to complete the expedition before we can get the mech pieces on our main save?

[willow rivet]

How do I get the mech pieces on my main save?

I tried buying the blueprint on my main save but it just says already collected

[tame shale]

WILD

Since I'm not able to contibute more than 150 I'm gonna just quit when I get home to play

and hope that my other NMS folks will save me

or not

[snow ruin]

150 per day

[snow ruin]

Yeah, that's a bug as far as we know. HG will probably fix it in time

[snow ruin]

Not unlocked for free, as written in pinned message

[tame shale]

@snow ruin OK Admiral I'll stay the course and maintain the fight

[rose veldt]

They are for free

[snow ruin]

Not if you leave the expedition before you unlock them for yourself

[rose veldt]

Well I only talk about making a new save for it..
If you do your part.. Then collect the reward from the milestone, on your main it will be for free

[rose veldt]

Tru, tru,

[mental saddle]

You can go back to main save and then go back to expedition any time. Just don't press "End Expedition"

[tame shale]

nods

[rose veldt]

Well unfortunately, a lot of people pressed to end it

[mental saddle]

Ungrateful people, taking for granted the democracy we give them

[rose veldt]

They still have to pay for them 😏

[mental saddle]

Quite pricey

[rose veldt]

We don't

[mental saddle]

Will probably be on the range of 1.2~2k per part

Imagine if it's one of the 3k per part items

Oof

[wraith junco]

First part was 1000qs so in total it will be minimum 4-7k

[ornate wing]

I will say, one thing I look forward to is not having swarm spawns in my settlment every 2 seconds.

[molten rune]

And thats why i dont complete one mission and keep it open till the very end 😄

[rose veldt]

Why??

You can complete all
It's not a forced conversion

It's a manual conversion, meaning if you don't want to end it, and want to complete all optional milestones you can do so

[molten rune]

Yeah i know but this way i can bring myself to expedicion every Day and take down some horrors, etc.

[rose veldt]

I see

[molten rune]

With 2 kiddos this is my motivation to play at night xD

[rough mortar]

Does anyone in the expedition currently have a group I can join after I’m done at work?

[ornate wing]

Maybe not the kids part, but yea same sitution. I feel if I end the thing, I will not be motivated to keep grinding the grubs.

[rough mortar]

I completed everything now but I think it would be dope just to kill and slaughter enemies together

[ornate wing]

I also do like seeing the community, makes the galaxy feel a bit more alive.

[hearty cobalt]

How do you collect 900 resources in one run? Tried it with silicate powder but at 600 the charge was used up

[meager scroll]

Find a planet with lots of rocks and small plants, full charge on mining beam, pulse the beam on and off like 1 second interval

[hearty cobalt]

@meager scroll That worked great. Thanks

[south pebble]

I can’t seem to be able to complete fire in the hole. Followed a YouTube video instructions, plasma launcher in supercharge multi tool slot. Can’t hit 4 enemies.

https://youtu.be/HnzrkN5aAn0?si=Ny24YlRqTRMkGDdA

At 17:20 he explains what to do, I can’t get the plasma launcher to freeze enemies so I can hit 4.

Any ideas.

[blissful onyx]

get sentinel summoner to spawn and when he summons bomb them

or just group a bunch of sentinels together

or biological horrors

[fluid flax]

So sad I'm at WORK and can't do my part :<

[hearty cobalt]

How do you complete the phase 3 optional milestone? I have already killed well over 150 hideous creatures.

[warm sedge]

it's a community wide task

you have to wait until everyone else has killed enough creatures

[snow ruin]

Would probably be helpful to read the pins ;P

[snow ruin]

Do your part, 150 per day

[hearty cobalt]

@warm sedge I am dependent on others to achieve my expedition goals?

[indigo falcon]

these are community goals, like unlocking quicksilver items, you all do them together

holy moley, 90% already, we'll be there soon and on to tier 4

[lean falcon]

What time counts as a new day for making daily progress?

[ashen shore]

Do corrupted sentinels count towards liquidators milestone progress?

[indigo falcon]

sentinels, bgs, biohorrors, whack them all!

[ashen shore]

corrupted sentinels?

[indigo falcon]

don't know for sure, my guess is something like 6 pm utc (i.e. same time of day the weekend mission shows up)

[indigo falcon]

yes, they are sentinels, do them in wheever you like!

[ashen shore]

cool. tysm

[indigo falcon]

blue skies, blue water, magenta grass, and bubbles. first paradise world on expedition save, I plopped down a small base

[fast fox]

If I build a base on one of these worlds, can I return after the expedition?
Also what happens to all the stuff you buy/earn? Does that port over to your current save?

[ornate wing]

Depends, if you started a fresh save on Expedition AFAIK yes. If this is another save were you turned into Expedition no.

[indigo falcon]

bases carry over to the preexisting save if you used one

so in either case the answer is yes.

[low ember]

There’s like 10k bases on that starting world lol

[fast fox]

Ah right, it was a previous save not a new one.

[indigo falcon]

I bet there are, I didn't put one there though. I've got one on the aggro sentinel world and one (well two) on the winter world in another drop zone system. probably less clutter there

[solemn bane]

Yeah all those ugly/distracting chicklets on the map and extra entries in the portal destinations are why I prefer to play expeditions offline when I can.

[wanton frigate]

To the builder of Resting Place At Sea on Maliette XIII in the Iuquan system - kudos! Lovely use of space and limited footprint. Also got me two steps closer to finishing, so thanks.

[ornate wing]

There was some discussion on the reddit that we shouldn't be allowed to build any bases or communication relays on any Expedition worlds.

[wraith junco]

Comm balls are plastic straws of nms

[indigo falcon]

comm balls are generally crap. bases can be useful to many players though

a place to get resources, a marker for something hard to find, etc.

[snow ruin]

Comm balls are indeed the scourge of the 'verse

Though they can be used for good. Put down comm balls where you found a nice looking interceptor, for example

[ornate wing]

Is there a way to actually see the message beyond going down there and checking it out?

[snow ruin]

Don't think so, no. So bases can be better that way in that they show the name

[worthy berry]

Wish there was an option to turn comm balls off.

[low ember]

my first experience with comm balls was this latest expedition, and, well, needless to say, it was an experience lol

[indigo falcon]

this is where I'd like to just see a souped-up version of a save beacon, something that can be visible and doesn't need to be within a player's uploaded base to be visible

[little torrent]

Wouldn't this break the Utopia expedition?

[wanton frigate]

Yeah I think there was a requirement to leave a comm ball. And it made for some... Interesting rendezvouseses

[rocky kernel]

Going to guess this has been something a lot of folks have wanted for a long time but for some reason they don't want to change/fix.

Find it really annoying, especially all the ones blocking or interfering with the locations you need to go to for the expedition. It's sometimes helpful in that you can see the actual location, but it breaks immersion for sure and also makes it a pain to target a site from space for flying in.

[rocky kernel]

Ah, was wondering what the best way was to mark the things that I find like that. Wasn't sure if the save beacon or comm ball was best for marking a site of interest outside of the expedition. Though it does seem like a base might be a better way to mark it to give it a name.

[ornate wing]

I think a great way to fix Comms Balls is make them actual communications. Add a freq we can select on our communications that brings up a list of them.

[rocky kernel]

Cool idea

[ornate wing]

Then when you select them it shows up on your map

[ashen shore]

We on phase 3 ye

I mean 4

[ornate wing]

Woot

[rocky kernel]

Nice!

[ashen shore]

No I was asking sorry lol

[rocky kernel]

LOL

[ashen shore]

Lol

[indigo falcon]

95%

[ashen shore]

Cool I just trying to make sure I collect the rewards ASAP because ODs is still mad buggy

[high mortar]

How do i do this?

[ashen shore]

Kill fish

[coarse wave]

😂

[ashen shore]

What

[indigo falcon]

find deep ocean, scan for alluring specimens in the HUD (red icon with a white orb), go to it, harvest the orbs, when the horror emerges, kill it

repeat 3 times, you are done.

[ashen shore]

I just killed random fish and beat it

[indigo falcon]

that's been patched out

[ornate wing]

Also don't worry about needing the full diving gear tech. I found one in pretty shallow water and got it.

[ashen shore]

Damn I'm lucky I did the expo early then lol

[indigo falcon]

it did not take me so long to find three of them. ocean on the starter planet was fine for this

[atomic estuary]

Let's keep this channel for NMS releted links and images only

[rocky kernel]

One tip for the alluring specimens, if you find them buried or in a cave where there is "ground" above it you need to make sure there is nothing above it clear up to the sky. Otherwise when you trigger the horror it gets stuck and you cannot kill it.

[indigo falcon]

from the expedition: sentinels doing a really great job hunting. excellent job. top notch.

[rocky kernel]

Well, it's hunting for the closest burger joint...

[cerulean olive]

Done my contribution for today. I really hope the community goals are done quick, because it starts to get quite boring now.

[indigo falcon]

do other things then. explore, hunt for nice ships,accumulate units or nanites

[cerulean olive]

I'm farming for units and nanites while grinding sentinels and I'm not intended to keep much from my exped inventory, really. I'll do the exploring on my main save 😉

[indigo falcon]

sounds good

I do exploring not to gather resources but to scan things,look for nice planets

[cerulean olive]

Farmed 120K nanites during the exped so far. Quite a nice addition for my main bank

[indigo falcon]

all the things you do get converted to units/nanites too, you'll get more

[cerulean olive]

there's still 2 full tiers to complete, so I'll probably accumulate more and more nanites. Even though it is a boring chore now, I will keep doing my daily 150 (and more) kills.

but I'd be happy when it's done and not needed anymore.

[indigo falcon]

if you don't feel like doinga daily 150, don't do it. do what you enjoy

[lusty slate]

Looks like tier 3 is going to finish today. Ahead of your Wednesday prediction, apergos. 🙂

I'm just doing the 150 kills + QS daily, then logging off. I have other games. 🙂

[indigo falcon]

yep we are getting done sooner, which is nice.

I re-upload the two player bases, explore a new planet or two, maybe shoot a few things on the way.

my main goal is to have the bases built for visitors stay in the visible list to the extent possble

[sage turret]

what planet can i find an apex predator with a vicious estimate over 12.0 pav?

[lusty slate]

Check the channel pins.

[cerulean olive]

Yeah, I know. I kinda enjoy pulling my weight for the community goals, though. So I'm in kind of a pickle here.

[indigo falcon]

well do it when you enjoy it and switch things up on other days, it's all good

[vague root]

whats the best way to find corrupted sentinels for the expedition?

[indigo falcon]

drop zone 4 system has a dissonant planet, go there

also it has a very nice sentinel ship (imo)

[cerulean olive]

Go to a dissonant system, grab a gravitino ball and they'll find you.

[vague root]

do you remember the name of it?

[indigo falcon]

the planet is called Kijavida Prime, the system names are pinned in here, but in any case when you get there, you can scan planets and look for the one which says corrupted sentinels or something like it, in red

[vague root]

found it

[indigo falcon]

enjoy!

[ashen shore]

Phase 4 yet?

[tame shale]

I can see Sentinel Central with little Gravitino Ball Detectors going off all the time.

[chilly trench]

I killed 2 of those abyssale but it doesnt count

[steel fox]

Trying to get Roach title have killed close to 30 queens and nothing

🤷🏻‍♂️

[chilly trench]

Phase 4 the 4th mission

Not working

[tame shale]

Those Abyssals are funky and scary

[chilly trench]

Do you need to kill them?

[steel fox]

yep

[chilly trench]

Well killed 3 of it

Still 0/3

[steel fox]

ps5?

[chilly trench]

Yea

[steel fox]

Same, game is pretty glitchy still

[chilly trench]

🥲🥲

[steel fox]

I deleted and reinstalled just incase the updates were not downloading and updating

correctly

[indigo falcon]

did you collect the glowing orbs first?

[chilly trench]

Glowing orbs? The info didnt mention anything like that

[snow ruin]

That is how you get them to spawn

[indigo falcon]

you need alluring specimens, they are a red icon with a white orb in it

go to them, harvest the glowing orbs, the horror spawns

maybe youwent for abyssal horrors, these are different

[steel fox]

Ya abyssals are the eyeballs

What you want is that big angler fish that chases you

[chilly trench]

Ah lol was hunting the wrong things then

[steel fox]

Ya I did the same thing

they both show up red under scanner

[indigo falcon]

different icons though

and the one will say "alluring specimen" for it

[steel fox]

odd, I just got into a station and for some reason it's empty, i did restart the game, it remains emty, an empty pirate station.

[karmic valve]

next update: build your own station /s

[soft pilot]

really?

[snow ruin]

Thank you for congratulating those who do their part. 🫡

[soft pilot]

it does loook like a station one could build into, just found out there's a corridor on each side leading to stuff.

[lilac crane]

That's what the stations used to look like at launch

[soft pilot]

so is this a glitch or is it something we'll be able to build into eventually?

[lilac crane]

Looks like an abandoned station

[soft pilot]

odd

[woeful blaze]

What's the name of the 4th site's system?

[snow ruin]

[ashen shore]

Tbh building in space stations is probably coming but it's never been announced or hinted at

[lilac crane]

In the last system for the expedition, I made a base for fighting sentinels that's far enough away that it doesn't mess up spawns or anything, you just stand on an elevated section I made and shoot, I'll have to post a picture when I'm off work

[bold musk]

this was more common in the old updates.it is an abandoned space station similar to the abandoned science facility that has xeno eggs around it.

[lilac crane]

And it's faraway enough that they dont agro until you start shooting, it's even on a hostile sentinel planet

[rough mortar]

Guys it was me who reached the 100% on tier 3😎

I know I know you guys can thank me later

Or thank me now if you want I wouldn’t mind 💅

[lilac crane]

I will thank you with glass and bug guts!

[snow ruin]

No, I don't think I will

[rough mortar]

Your just saying that cause your jealous (obvious proud laughter) after all I did make us reach 100%😌💅

[ornate wing]

You sure you got 100%? I set a few multi-tools on trip wires around my settlment. I'm sure beyond the few settlers that got nailed, a few bugs also tripped them.

Could easily been me who got it.

[rough mortar]

I wanted to do a gif about a YouTuber plus streamer but I then remembered what he did so I won’t post it lol

We did it though, now we just gotta do tier 4

[soft pilot]

I killed a whole lot of stuff 🙂

[ornate wing]

Curious how long it will take. I assume all the tiers will be done with like a week or so left just to pick up any stragglers for rewards.

[snow ruin]

We're 3/5ths through it right now, so if things go the same it has then we'd finish T5 in less than 12 days. Note that that is assuming the numbers don't get "massaged" as we get closer to T4 and T5 compared to the previous data material.

[woeful blaze]

Uhhh help

I was fighting some sentinels but accidentally got stuck in the capital ship

[karmic valve]

relog

does anyone know whether minotaur kills help with the community goal? killed 404 sentinels so far, but the mission says 200+ only? (mission counter increases by 50, so it would be at least 400 then)

[jagged sedge]

All we can do is keep on blasting em

[tardy portal]

How do you even scan them GIANT sand worms… apparently it’s a 12 aggresive creature but everytime I see it I can’t find where to scan it

[karmic valve]

yeah, but it would be good to know whether i should kill them in the minotaur or outside of it

[jagged sedge]

I got the goal from scanning the big eel on the starter planet

[in the ocean]

[cerulean olive]

You can use all means to kill them. Have a ball!

[jagged sedge]

All bugs must die

I say that, while my freighter's quartermaster and I are standing here making a batch of cookies

[karmic valve]

i'm just collecting the glass from the materials from sentinels to transfer later

[jagged sedge]

The salvaged glass?

[karmic valve]

ye

[jagged sedge]

Oh yeah, they can produce some good stuff

[karmic valve]

thats why

so far i think i'm at ~70-80+ of it

[jagged sedge]

Awesome

[karmic valve]

goal is ~120 or so, i also want to transfer other stuff xD

[tight ermine]

At work rn, can’t get on but how’s the expedition community goal rn?

I usually start a new save file for expeditions, so no transferring for me

I've read the jellyfish that sometimes appear when you zap underwater plants will work also

[bold musk]

Love this planet,was going to invite everyone to build on a floating mountain out here and start a community,it seems however,that other than the waterfall rocks,which is a bit buggy,these floating mountains are "ghost" objects...:(

[jagged sedge]

I was lucky and found a 'wild' base computer on the start planet - it's called 'base alpha' in case anyone likes to stop by

[lost heart]

We need to clear this thing out so I stop finding new sentinel ships and have to figure out what I am keeping.

[balmy aspen]

I'm finding juicy grubs outside of the expedition, ie in normal mode. I'm guessing crushing these and summoning vile brood doesn't do anything for the expedition community goals and/or unlocking the other bug helmets?

[soft pilot]

@balmy aspen what do you mean by ''outside of expedition? Like in a normal save?

or do you mean simply out of the 5 or 6 system where the diff phases happen?

[snow ruin]

They're not good for the community goal (outside the expedition), but they are good for unlocking the bug helmets you can only get outside the expedition (as far as I've been told).
I find the biohorrors a lot faster to get the daily kills in the expedition with compared to the vile brood anyway

[soft pilot]

if you're still in your expedition save, whatever u kill and where ever will count as kills for the extra phase

what is it you mean by ''outside expedition'' ?

[snow ruin]

Not in an expedition save

[soft pilot]

oh i see ok 🙂

[snow ruin]

Up to 150 per day, as far as the datamined stuff (linked in the pins) implied

[soft pilot]

for a bvit i thought you guys meant outside of the few systems where the diff phases happen 🙂

yeah, i reach ''150 and counting'' every day

[snow ruin]

That's not what that means

[soft pilot]

oh

[snow ruin]

You should see 200 and counting now, because it's 50 per tier

You have to count the max contribution yourself (I use the loot)

[soft pilot]

when i left earlier, game was at 99% o tier 3

but neways, pretty sure i've killed way more than 150 per day

[snow ruin]

The 150 and counting (which should now be more like 200 and counting) is the minimum to unlock the milestone on that expedition save for you.

[soft pilot]

so it only counts 50 of your kills per day?

[snow ruin]

No, 150 per day is counted. If you've killed 50 x tier you are eligible for the tier reward

[calm torrent]

Does anyone know what the name of the system where the 4th dropzone is called?

[soft pilot]

then i will def get it, just today i proly killed between 200 and 300 horrors and maybe 100 sentinels

[snow ruin]

[soft pilot]

i tend to leave the grubs (brood) alone, i find it kinda boring and short

and not much incentive as drops from brood

[snow ruin]

Yeah. If you started the expedition from your main you can collect the grubs to transfer to your main so you can unlock the extra helmets for killing the queens outside the expedition a bit faster when you get to it

[soft pilot]

how do you replace the arm and legs of the minotaure with the ones u get at the end of each extras of phases?

or are they just like modules?

neways I don't use it much as i really don't like the camera perspective of the minautore

[snow ruin]

I don't actually know

[soft pilot]

guess i'll have to go try things

[snow ruin]

I thought they were blueprints you build in the minotaur inventory

[soft pilot]

oh yeah true, seeing u dont get the arm and legs in your inventory

i'm landing on a planet to see if i can install them

wow my game just crashed, i think since i started playing years ago it has only happened like 5 times

[crimson nacelle]

does the liquidators cap at 200 per day?

[snow ruin]

Read the pinned message and the source for it with regards to Purged by Fire

[crimson nacelle]

thanks, could be explained better in game tbh

[crimson copper]

What's the daily reset for killing more bugs and stuff for the community goal?

[keen flint]

this guy should work for apex predator, found it on Naup u7

plus he looks sick

[snow ruin]

Would assume it's about the same time the weekend mission becomes available. Also the time the expedition started (you can hover over the timestamp for this in the pinned messages to see it in your timezone)

[crimson nacelle]

Ok final question so I shouldn't end the expedition until the purge by fire milestone is completed correct?

[snow ruin]

If you don't want to spend on unlocking them later, no. If you started from your main you can switch back and forth

[crimson nacelle]

Im new to the game and started with an expedition save

[snow ruin]

You can do a lot of stuff in preparation for doing the main story after the expedition ends. Exploring, building, all that

If the pace continues as it has then the fifth community milestone would unlock in less than 12 days

[crimson copper]

Thank you 🙂

[crimson nacelle]

Pehaps I could duplicate my save??

[vague root]

genuinely confused as to how the purged by fire quests work

[wraith junco]

[brisk plover]

Oh man. I was thinking the legs ||might make the mech usable/fun||. 😢

Like, y'know, it might be able to ||move more efficiently than a 87 year old invalid||.

[summer kraken]

If used in conjunction with the other legs and as much Boost Tank Size upgrades as you can get, it should help.

Just the legs alone won't help.

You need to R E A L L Y max it out (or close to it).

[ashen shore]

I'm sorry but telling someone to use their leg in conjunction with their other leg is just a really funny sentence out of context.

[summer kraken]

WAIT I JUST REALIZED THAT LMAOOOO

[ashen shore]

U S E B O T H L E G S

[brisk plover]

Wait does it actually ||improve mobility beyond the jetpack||?

[summer kraken]

No, but the jetpack does start to become more useful when you max out the boosters.

Sadly the mobility is just, a logical design thing. I mean look at how massive and clunky it is.

[crimson nacelle]

I would like the minotaur more as just a ai companion if just attacked more consistently, sometimes I see it use the mining laser on the broods lol

[brisk plover]

Yeah, it's precisely that that makes me stay out of it and not ride it.

What's worse is first-person view inside it is just another buggy experience. 😦

[crimson nacelle]

I hate when I hold down the exit button for a millisecond to long and my character exits then re enters like an idiot

[summer kraken]

Perhaps...

You could upgrade the AI upgrade to allow for specifically commanding it to do (or prioritize) other actions.

That or being able to have a list of things it CAN do, and being able to adjust how much it will do it (for example, if there are enemies around but I made it so the Minotaur will mine more than fight, it will go back and forth between said tasks). Kind of like how MK9's AI fighters can be customized to fit a specific playstyle.

That would be neat.

Saying that makes me also wish Squadrons weren't so...

Pitifully weak.

[brisk plover]

When I first spawned in the expedition, there was a ||giant floating eyeball in the sky||. I expected something to come of that, or at least get mentioned, but it's like it was never even actually there. What's the deal with that?

[summer kraken]

They're just meat shields, and pretty bad ones at that.

[summer kraken]

That... I have no idea about.

[brisk plover]

Meat shields for the enemy. They keep blocking my shots.

[summer kraken]

Exactly.

[crimson nacelle]

maybe there will be a final mission with that

in part 2 perhaps

[summer kraken]

I get it's cool to have a squad with ya like Star Fox.

But that vibe is so fucked over by the shitty AI and lack of... Anything.

Barely attacks, chases enemies, I've actually had way too many instances of being rammed right into a Freighter by my own peeps.

[brisk plover]

And in my permadeath save, the Minotaur is made of tissue paper. I can finish a fight with it having 8+ modules to repair.

[crimson nacelle]

this makes me want to replay Dragons Dogma 2 again

[summer kraken]

I have no idea what that is but something tells me its ally AI is better and more active than a toddler-

[crimson nacelle]

Yes, the ai is amazing and you can have them gatherer's, healers, or draw aggro. It's even better in the first game

[summer kraken]

Curious...

How much is there in the game? In terms of quantity/quality, is it overly stretched with content or is it like (something like TOTK where there is a lot of content that's pretty good)

[elfin hull]

Ooh, tier 4.

[sage turret]

anyone know what system in the expedition exotics spawn?

[cerulean olive]

Every system should have at least one exotic spawn.

[lusty slate]

Daily QS mission: Kill monstrosities
Me: lol, convenient

[cerulean olive]

Lucky!

[crimson nacelle]

Ok so the first game was really good for it's time when it released (one of my favorite of all time). Lot's of enemy and build variety. It's technically single player but you can have your own personal "pawn" and hire two others with any class combination you want. The main focus of the game is combat and having your pawn hired. Your pawn companion can be hired by other players and as they do they'll become better and better at combating certain enemies, mage's, sorcerers the more there used against certain enemies....here's the catch the game released in 2013 so the online aspect is nearly so it's very difficult get you pawn trained. and the difference is night and day they can go from a decent companion to being able to solo kill dragons on their own. The sequel released this year and even tho I enjoy it Capcom has gutted the enemy variety in the game and the difficulty curved is screwed, it becomes a cakewalk once you hit level 50.

[cerulean olive]

Lets keep this channel clean and stay on the expedition topic.

[crimson nacelle]

My bad

[sand rover]

thanks for the help yesterday re sea horror things. it worked :D

[summer kraken]

[cerulean olive]

Anyone able to claim the Liquidator Minotaur legs on their main save yet? Mine keeps showing 'previously claimed' and not showing up in the minotaur tech list to install.

[summer kraken]

No problem man.

I try to help whenever I can, I'd also recommend doing that to stockpile a lot in case some other thing on your main saves needs them.

[summer kraken]

I already have both unlocked parts that are available, not sure what the problem on your end is.

[sand rover]

[cerulean olive]

Dunno either. Had no problems installing the left arm on my main save. It just showed up as installable tech. The legs don't 🤔

[wanton frigate]

3 of 4 walkers in the bag before I'm done. Kind of feels like cheating though hitting them with the Minotaur. Just pew pew pew, reap, repeat on another world.

[blissful onyx]

what is the giant eye in the sky for

[flint saddle]

Guys now that the limit is 200, do we contribute 200 every day now or just the normal 150

[wanton frigate]

Marketing. Well, it got you talking didn't it?

[blissful onyx]

just wanted to know if I could blow it up

disappoint is immeasurable

[wanton frigate]

If you can't blow it up, mine it or land on it what the flip is it doing in this game???

[blissful onyx]

To watch us ig

it's a discord mod

[flint saddle]

Its a Meteor larva you cant damage it BUT it can kill you

[blissful onyx]

I think the one in the expedition is a fully grown larvae then

that mf the size of a planet

[flint saddle]

Nah theres different worms and creatures

[blissful onyx]

I meant the big one in space on the first system

[flint saddle]

The Meteor Larvae are its on spacial anomaly and so they honestly are just a rare occurrence

[flint saddle]

Ik which your talking about

Its just a rare thing that appears in space

Its a Spacial Anomaly

Out side of this expedition you will NEVER see that thing so close to a planet

[blissful onyx]

ah

Ic

[flint saddle]

Its still funny to find and shoot at, just dont get too close or its Compactor Beam will kill you

[ashen shore]

Y'all making good phase 4 progress

[wanton frigate]

This expedition has been going on too long. Kid walked into the room earlier and asked "Whatcha doing? Are you Doing Your Part?"
But i was, so clearly it was quality parenting.

[ashen shore]

It had a very slow start otherwise I think we'd be on phase 5 by now

How I get the released liquidator stuff on my main save
Still can't yet?

[lusty slate]

The combat focus could be turning off newer players.

Most of us know how to handle walkers, but it could be a rude awakening to a newbie

(Especially if you're not familiar with Sentinal wave dynamics)

[wanton frigate]

I've never fought the Sentinels on the ground past wave 2 and I've been here since Utopia. But they hand you the specced out Minotaur with AI and give you a building to stand on at every mandated bug and biohorror fight. The learning curve is fairly flat in practice, but maybe preconceptions are getting in the way

[lapis wave]

In the Expedition, is Purged by Fire an objective to die in combat?

[wanton frigate]

The Purged By Fire goals are community goals. Kill 200ish bugs and horrors a day, Do Your Part, and we all get rewards.

[woeful blaze]

Will I be able to transfer my new ship & multi tool from this expedition?

[hollow girder]

Any tips for getting 900 resources in one burst?

[ornate wing]

Large amount of trees, or if you find "Metal Fingers" they have almost enough between just 2 of them to get 900

[hollow girder]

ty

[ashen shore]

The sentinel AI seems broken
They run away more often

[hollow girder]

Is there a way to take down the walker without shutting down the local sentinel network?

I'm grabbing grav balls, but the cops aint rolling up on me anymore.

[ornate wing]

AFAIK no.

[hollow girder]

Do I just need to find a new region, or a whole new planet?

[ashen shore]

My experience is jump another planet with sentinels

If you have no other planet with sentinels then go to the next system

[ornate wing]

It takes a bit of time, but it goes by quick

[ashen shore]

I know the sentinel networks eventually come back online but I think it might take a few hours and not be worth waiting for. You're better off finding another planet/system with active sentinels.

[lilac crane]

here's my sentinel fighting base that doesn't mess with the POI or spawn points, they dont even agro until you start shooting

[wanton frigate]

I think if you restart and reload, they reset to active. Haven't tried it myself but that's the impression I get from here.

[lilac crane]

yeah you can save, and reload your last save and they respawn, or find a new tower

[hollow girder]

Got it on another world.

Next stop is fighting corrupted sentinels and underwater critters.

[lilac crane]

anyone want help with the expedition?

[polar torrent]

I wish that was clearer, I spent a good while to pump those rookie numbers up 😅

[ornate wing]

Oh trust me, there will be a unoffical competition on who fragged the most bugs

[pulsar cape]

Hey everyone 👋 New to the game. Is there an Lfg for persons new to the expedition?

So someone who will to teach

[full pewter]

Did you try save and reload?

[lilac crane]

i am literally running around asking if people want help lol, my friend code is M21R-X1TE-G21MW if you give me yours i'll join your game and give you a hand with the expedition

[pulsar cape]

Q05F-V790-SVCY

[lilac crane]

Failed to add, can you double check the code?

[lilac crane]

Added omw

[grand terrace]

I have finally finished the expedition stuff on no mans sky so happy now

[grand terrace]

Now I just need to do my part in slaying bugs

[indigo falcon]

or sentinels or horrors. enjoy!

[grand terrace]

Neat

[lilac wolf]

How long until the expedition ends?

[indigo falcon]

it ends on Sept 2, still lots of time

[lilac wolf]

Awesome, thanks

[grand terrace]

Already up to the 3rd bug killing reward to

[rare raft]

the 'optional' goals in phase 4 n 5, those are community goals, not individual?

[indigo falcon]

correct, as were the phase 1,2,3 optionals. so you 'do your part' and you're good

for tier 4 that means 200 total kills of a combination of sentinels, horrors and bugs. you can continue to help along progress if you like after that, by what we think is up to 150 kills daily, but you don't have to.

[rare raft]

kk, was curiuos, as I did rack up quite a bit of additioanl kills, but didn't see the % shooting up

so I can leave the expo now penalty free? (done all other missions).

do I have to come back later to claim the 4 n 5 optional goals?

[indigo falcon]

you can, although for the tier 4,5 items, since you didn't stick around to see them completed, you'll need to buy them for quicksilver once expedition players unlock them

[rare raft]

kk, so just do the swap back to regular mode then, (I started expo from main save file)

[indigo falcon]

if you just switch from expd version of the save to main version (assuming you started the expedition from an existing save) and once in a while switch back to see how things go and possibly claim things, then you avoid the quicksilver expenditure

yeah just swap back and check in from time to time

[rare raft]

okok. thanks big guy ❤️

[ornate wing]

Wait you can buy past rewards with QS?

Like isn't there things like the cool gunship hauler that is expendition exclusive?

[meager scroll]

Iron Vulture was reward for previous expedition called Adrift

If HG follows the same pattern, it will be available at the end of the year again

[quasi cave]

Yippee

[ashen shore]

I'm looking forward to rhe black paint , not the iron vukture

[cloud geyser]

Hey yalls, in the new expedition, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get Pure Ferrite to repair my starship. I don't have the refiner recipe and the rocks with pure ferrite need advanced mining laser.

[full pewter]

Portable refiner should be in your build menu

Where your base computer and stuff is

[ashen shore]

Are you starting for the first time and playing the expo?

[cloud geyser]

I played the game a while back and I came back.

I got help from the other channel. I forgot you could build refiners that can be placed on the ground. I vaguely remembered refining from the exosuit, but got confused because I couldn't build the refiner in the exosuit.

[ashen shore]

Okay cool welcome back

[opal glade]

for the optional milestones I can't do any of those until i finish all the other milestones?

[granite ridge]

the community purges one fire after the other

[feral vale]

If I end my current expedition to get the rewards, can I make a new one and still get the last purged rewards?

[viral latch]

what has it worked out roughly so far, about 3 days per optional milestone?

so 5 will probably wrap up at the end of the weekend

[feral vale]

Also, do I have to run the expedition on my main save to get the rewards

[snow ruin]

You can, they're just community progress overall, with a personal minimum contribution to be able to claim it for yourself

[feral vale]

I found i can buy rewards with qs, answered my own question

[snow ruin]

I believe you should be able to start a new save for the expedition and get the last rewards for Purged by Fire, yes. If you started it from a "main" save you can just return to it without ending the expedition and jump back and forth. Back to main save through options menu and into the expedition through the expedition terminal.
You do not have to run the expedition from your main save to get the rewards, it should be unlocked account wide

If you don't do the last PbF milestones you should probably be able to buy them with , yes

[feral vale]

Yeah, I realized after posting, should probably look through pins😂

[snow ruin]

always

;P

[bold musk]

Does this work with previous expeditions? I missed a lot of the old ones.honestly it just currently looks red out on expedition rewards and I assumed I can never obtain them.

[snow ruin]

PbF is a "community goal", which is different from most expedition rewards. Most expedition rewards can't be bought with , you have to unlock them through playing the expedition. Or through using a save editor. There are also apparently mods that allow you to play through old expeditions and unlock them that way

[bold musk]

Ah ok that explains it

[indigo falcon]

not generally; these ones from this expedition are an exception, it was announced in the update notes on hg's website

[fair badge]

HEY FRIENDS.

There's a thing that says I have to kill stuff underwater.
But I killed one of these gross eye things and some jellyfish thingies with a Minotaur and it didn't do anything.

Am I supposed to kill a specific thing?

[wanton frigate]

yes

[snow ruin]

Indeed. It tells you what to look for

[fair badge]

Oh.

[wanton frigate]

You used to be able to do it with anything, but now it needs to be a screaming mimi - you know when you take an alluring Specimen and it all goes wrong? That thing!

[fair badge]

Oh it's the big fishies.

I never go underwater so I don't really know where to look for these-

[snow ruin]

Visor, they show up as red icon

[meager scroll]

Alluring Specimen is the name I think

[fair badge]

Okeh killed one, got it.

Fanks.

[fair badge]

The Minotaur's first person view is so cool but so impractical-

[wanton frigate]

in fairness, so is the minotaur's everything else. It's like that was the entire design philosophy.

[fair badge]

I mean I like piloting a Minotaur.
Cause I like mechs.

But yeah, fair enough.

Jumping around is fun tho.

[near mica]

huh i was a total newb when it comes to killing those overergrown flying trashcans but honestly with the multitool and suit upgrades you get you can 1 - 2 shot the small ones, a few more for the dog and a few more for the robot ( or just granade the bastard) was very easy compare to the last expedition and me tryingto kill even the small ones. the zerglike bastards are 1shot 😄 The "shotgun" is just so much funn 😄

[granite ridge]

the multitool (and the upgrades provided) indeed are a blast for that

[lusty slate]

Hmm, 19%. Speculating tier 4 will finish around Thursday or Friday with the current speed..

[dusty elm]

I'm going to try to do the 'Scrap Metal' mission. Trouble I'm having is what comes in after I start shooting. Pirates come up so I'm assuming that's Sentinel ships.
I'm not sure I can defeat them with my multi-tool. Here's a screenshot of my upgrades.
What would you suggest I add to my multi-tool? Or do I need to jump in my ship and shoot them in the sky? Please keep in mind I play on creative mode and do not do this kind of stuff, but I want to try and learn how.

[thick umbra]

You can not defeat ships with your Multitool

[indigo falcon]

if you get pirates coming in to attack you on the ground, your best bet is to duck inside a building or to call in your ship and take them out.

[dusty elm]

Ok, is that what happens when you start fighting Sentinels, these Pirates always come in?

[thick umbra]

not always

[indigo falcon]

no. in a combat level 3 system they are more likely to attack buildings by you (or you if you are near them)

[lusty slate]

It screams like a reaper Leviathan and gives me Subnautica flashbacks every time...

[indigo falcon]

in a bombat level 1 system they should never attack you on the planet's surface

[dusty elm]

When you say combat level 1 or 3 what is that referring to?

[lusty slate]

The conflict level of the system.

[indigo falcon]

in the discovery tab for the system, you can see the race indicator and the economy type and the swords icon to the upper left in the image of the planets

(of the planetary system, that is)

[eternal iron]

Hey everyone, I was wondering, how do you equip the new Minotaur parts? Can we only do it once we have all of them? Sorry if that’s a dumb question, haven’t found the new parts in the technology menu and wasn’t sure how to install them

[indigo falcon]

there's some sort of bug preventing you from building them back on your main save.... not sure if that extends to the expedition version of the save or not, I've not tried it

[granite ridge]

you learn the recipe when you collect the optional milestone reward. currently only for characters still in the expedition

[lunar orbit]

once you've claimed the rewards in the expedition log, on other saves account-wide you can claim them from the quicksilver guy at the anomaly

oh, it has been working for me

[dusty elm]

Thanks for this explanation. I'll give it a try, but if I'm on ground shooting these Sentinels, do I need to upgrade my multi-tool?

[granite ridge]

that might (still) work. my saves all are expedition primary and expedition, no unrelated ones

[indigo falcon]

the sentinel drones and such should be ok with just the multitool you have, if it gets to be too much, run away and get out of their scanning distance until the wanted level goes down

[wanton frigate]

...yet! Between shooting pirates down with different MT weapons, defending x number of structures from attacks and landing on a pirate with a Minotaur jump, the milestones practically write themselves! Expedition 15 - Ship-Puncher! Make it so!

[indigo falcon]

you will get various weapons, upgrades and class upgrades to the multitool as you play the expedition.

[wanton frigate]

if you're not great at the aul' ground combat and you're taking on the Sentinels for the walker milestone, don't do it around an abandoned building because I tried that a few times and I kept triggering Bio Horror hordes, probably stray bullets hitting eggs. Anyway, things got awful crowded awful fast.

[dusty elm]

Yes, I have some upgrades I've won I can purchase with my nanites, but I don't know which ones are what I should purchase or need.

[indigo falcon]

you don't really need to purchase any, you will get so many things you won't have room for them all

[dusty elm]

I found that out the hard way too and just gave up and took off

[granite ridge]

You also could push forward to drop zone 3 for the minotaur and do kill milestones after that

[eternal iron]

Ahhhh ok, ty!

[dusty elm]

I've not actually tried the Walker Millstone. I was doing other kinds of millstones. Not sure what's entailed with the Walker Millstone yet.

[indigo falcon]

no worries, you can put off the sentinel ones until last if you like, you'll have so much good gear by then

[opal glade]

okay i've done all the expedition

but the optional milestones are still undone

what am I supposed to do here?

it says unknown

Current liquidation goal at Unknown

[granite ridge]

Kill 150 valid targets each day, it's community effort

[opal glade]

so ..... do i not do anything for now?

[indigo falcon]

if the tooltip says you killed 200 (lower right, when the mission is pinned) then you do not have to do anything

you may however continue to contribute to progress with so many kills a day, we think it is capped at 150

that's for tier 4. when it completes, tier 5 will start and we guess that will be 250 kills up from 200

[opal glade]

it says "50 and counting"

[indigo falcon]

kill another bug, biohorror or sentinel and see what it says, if no increase then check ods (discovery tab lower left)

[opal glade]

no increase

[indigo falcon]

the cutoff should be 200 total kills before the tooltip does not show you more

actually scratch that, check in the catalogue tab the milestones

select the mercenary one

[granite ridge]

Collecting milestones 1-3 might be required?

[indigo falcon]

look at your total sentinel and biohorror kills, if that's over 200 then there' sa problem

hm probably

you can safely collect tiers 1,2,3 rewards without ending the expedition

[opal glade]

Horrors at 388

sentinels at 316

[hollow kraken]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@hollow kraken Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[indigo falcon]

did you collect the tier 1, 2 and 3 rewards?

[opal glade]

collected everything as far as I can see

but optional milestones are still grey

[finite rover]

anyone doing the expedition without picking up the kill critters quests is missing out

[lusty slate]

I did a session with a kill monstrosities QS mission yesterday.

[indigo falcon]

got an ods connection?

[opal glade]

do you have to do nexus missions to finish these optional milestones?

im playing on a switch

[lusty slate]

No.

[indigo falcon]

you still connect to ods on the switch, that's different than multiplayer

go to discovery tab, check lower left

[wanton frigate]

should prompt you to press X to reconnect

But every time you put the Switch to sleep it drops the connection - sometimes you're better off to restart the game to have it pick up the new community milestone progress

[lusty slate]

Yeah, check if your connected to the ODS.

[slow jay]

before i waste the quicksilver: is the window of the new minotaur body any better for visibility in 1st person?

[opal glade]

okay pressing X to connect now

trying

OH

there we go

[lunar orbit]

should be free, no?

[opal glade]

THATS FUCKING ANNOYING

seriously thats all it was?

[indigo falcon]

ayup

[slow jay]

im not actually playing the expedition 😂

[lusty slate]

Yeah, community milestones are tied to the ODS. If the ODS is disconnected, they won't complete

[opal glade]

rolls eyes

switch just casually says im fucking off now

and ODS just disconnects

ugh

[wanton frigate]

The switch's greatest strength, it's portability, does not lend itself well to always-online. But no one said that Doing Your Part would be easy. Or convenient!

[opal glade]

well at least im done with it for now

ill continue murdering shit tomorrow morning

[slow jay]

the rewards are just the minotaur parts and bug armor right? i have zero desire for the latter :(

[opal glade]

I didn't even care that I had to do everything but its not super intuitive to do it

[indigo falcon]

the bug armour is not from a community milestone, that's the mech parts only

[slow jay]

ye i mean from doing the actual whole expedition

[indigo falcon]

oh. yeah there are bug trophy heads, some posters and a decal, bug armour and a couple other bits I forget

[opal glade]

so far the legs and left arm are unlocked

[indigo falcon]

yep tier 1,2,3 done. 4 underway

[slow jay]

eh yeah 0 interest in bug stuff, i'd rather rack up quicksilver for the mech

[hollow kraken]

If you do the the entire expedition you get a s class multitool which has tons of free weapons

[slow jay]

hmm, i might pick that up for Other files when i don't feel like being challenged 😂

[hollow kraken]

At the cost of about 2000 Nanites to transfer it

[cerulean olive]

Hmm. still can't get the Liquidator Minotaur legs on my main save. QS store says 'Already Owned', but it's not in the list of installable tech.

[hollow kraken]

Well there is a easier ish way to get a instant op multitool just use the atlas staff if you have done the omega expedition

[opal glade]

i had to pay 2800 nanites to get my ship in

i can't stand the starting hauler

[slow jay]

which i have and have lol, im just trying a different kind of file atm!
