nms-expedition

[opal glade]

its such ass

[slow jay]

normally i like easy breezy but after a while i get bored

so i been experimenting with different difficulty settings (locked)

[hollow kraken]

That thing actually has higher damage potential then my expedition multitool

[opal glade]

the s-class multitool has an interesting layout for the supercharged slots

[hollow kraken]

Also if you have done the expedition you can get the staff for free on any save using your account

[opal glade]

its not bad at all

[slow jay]

ye i know of the expedition redeems :3

[indigo falcon]

there's a bug so you can't build the mech parts back on your main save

[opal glade]

what? really?

[indigo falcon]

folks, feel free to report the inability to build those parts

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[cerulean olive]

Yeah. was afraid of that. Had no trouble doing the left arm, though.

[dusty elm]

Looks like the 'Scrap Metal' mission is in a conflict 3 zone so I have no choice but to fight here for this missio, right?

[indigo falcon]

build a small base and fight by that instead, or save-reload when the pirates show up

or set space combat to minimum to reduce the frequency

[opal glade]

...... space pirate fights in the starting hauler ..... ugghhhh

[finite rover]

i bought solar.

[hollow kraken]

Yeah I agree I got lucky and got a random interceptor

[opal glade]

lol lucky duckie

[dusty elm]

For the first time, in this expedition,I decided to use a prior Save which has a sentinel ship, which I'm glad I have done that now😁

[opal glade]

that hauler made me feel like an old man in space

[hollow kraken]

It was c class but still a lot more powerful and maneuverable

[finite rover]

it's

so

slow

[opal glade]

literally groaned everytime i turned at the spacestation

UHGGGGGGGHHHHHH

oh over shot

ugggghhhh

[radiant bobcat]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@radiant bobcat Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[opal glade]

btw i feel bad for the liquidator dude we were following

[hollow kraken]

The jetpack upgrades also spoiled me

[opal glade]

assuming his consciousness is still there he's a bug now

[hollow kraken]

Going back to my main save and having no jetpack charge was pain

[dusty elm]

I've done that in my regular game, when I first had one, and I don't have it anymore nor have I ever wanted another one. I don't care if they can hold everything I own, I don't want it 😆

[opal glade]

lol thats what my freighter is for

[finite rover]

indeed

got one in this exp, also :)

[rancid siren]

Are you supposed to do expedition in like a group with other people?

[finite rover]

*get given A class upgrade modules* oh c'mon. as if anyone uses anything other than S...

[dusty elm]

I have a very small ship that I use all the time, it's a black tank with no fancy anything, just a tank and I love it I can fit it in anywhere

[finite rover]

best done alone due to mp bugs

[rancid siren]

Oh okay sweet

Thanks!

[dusty elm]

Okay off to fight Sentinels. I'm procrastinating here, so I've got to get this challenge done. 👀

[opal glade]

this is why i only used the scatter gun

all the other guns they kept giving us A-class upgrades

[finite rover]

it annoyed me too much so I got the pulse spitter. paid for it all but am happy.

[opal glade]

scatter gun aint bad

[finite rover]

it's not but it's no pulse spitter

[opal glade]

hontestly there are like 1 or 2 times when I missed the range

otherwise it was whatever

pulse spitter is fine

i use it in my main save

but i don't have merc guild giving me unlimited ammo

and I dont wanna craft all that ammo either

so i went with the more economical choice the scatter gun

[finite rover]

ahh. I have merc

[hollow kraken]

A small black sentinel ship?

[finite rover]

but ammo is cheap

I've 16k without trying.

[opal glade]

merc guild is great in main save

but it doesnt carry over into expedition

[finite rover]

50 ferrite for 1250 ammo is naught

[opal glade]

so it was painful

[snow ruin]

The minotaur was OP when it came to taking care of some biological horrors. The cannon just killed them instantly on spawn. Just keep firing every half a second or so and racked up 150 kills from one "swarm".

[fair badge]

Man.
We'll definitely be done with the community thing.

[fossil token]

I met an NPC liquidator?

[fair badge]

Before the expedition ends.

[snow ruin]

Very probable. Although Hello Games can massage the numbers a bit to make it take a little longer for T5 for example

[fair badge]

I'm almost done with the expedition, I'm at phase 5.

What I'll get from this is probably that...
The hardest part in an expedition is to get started-

But then again I doubt every expedition has that much fighting involved.

[opal glade]

the stupid deep sea monstrosities was a huge pain

[fair badge]

Well I did that with a Minotaur so it was pretty easy.

[opal glade]

i did it with a minataur too

[fair badge]

Finding the things to trigger the big fishies was a bit of a pain.

[opal glade]

the fight is not the problem

the problem is FINDING the damn thing

[fair badge]

Fair enough.

[opal glade]

supid "alurring" wasn't very alluring

[fair badge]

...Man the brood head you get from the expedition's kinda ugly.
I mean I get that it's supposed to be but other brood heads look cooler.

But hey I'm not complaining that much. It's an original look.

[unkempt kraken]

@dusty elm

No gifs in this channel please

[snow ruin]

I think most of the expedition rewards look pretty bad. But the multitool getting upgraded to S ain't bad

[opal glade]

i don't like bug heads in general.... i don't really like them at all

[snow ruin]

And it being a Sentinel one is also nice

[opal glade]

but i know a bunch of people who do like them

[fair badge]

They're really generous on the multi tool upgrades

I like bug parts, I think they're neat.

[snow ruin]

Indeed. Some people love the bug things, other people dislike them

[fair badge]

Kinda wish they weren't as hairy too.

They got fat hair on em.

Wanna pluck em out.

[snow ruin]

Me? Ever since I sensed the weakness of my flesh it offended me. I craved the certainty of blessed metal

[fair badge]

Ah, fair.

I kinda wish I did the expedition of the omega update for that.

With the funky Atlas stuff.

And the funky ship.

[snow ruin]

Thankfully it should be rerun at the end of year

[hollow kraken]

Yeah

[fair badge]

I hope so.

[hollow kraken]

Given all past expeditions 12,13,14 and maybe 15? Will be rerun this holiday season

[fair badge]

I mean that's the first expedition I do cause I never really bothered so I don't really know.

But yeah, would be big cool.

[opal glade]

i need to remember for next expedition to throw a stack of chromatic metal into the expedition

I didn't do it for my first one and it was a paaain to get it all back

need a stack of all the starting materials

carbon oxygen sodium

[snow ruin]

Apparently there exists mods that let you play through the older expeditions

[atomic estuary]

Not mods, but you can download old expeditions and play them offline

[granite ridge]

a small-ish json file download

[atomic estuary]

There is a mod that allows you to purchase rewards with quicksilver

[fair badge]

The last dropzone's planet is pretty cool.

Also time to... Get a cocoon now.
Absolutely not scared of whatever's in it.

[silver mist]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@silver mist Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[fair badge]

...Wait, what's the cocoon for?
Cause companions get deleted after the expedition right?

Do I just keep it for now?

[atomic estuary]

You can't transfer eggs or companions to you primary save, but the egg will be available for you at quicksilver companion

[fair badge]

Aah.

[soft pilot]

I've decided that once my expedition save converts to a regular save that it's going to become my new main save. So once the expedition is over and the save becomes an ordinary one, do i get to keep everything I've gathered during the expedition?

I just got a nice pirate capital ship 2 days ago, i like it but I won't continue building it up if I can't keep it later on. As for the egg i got from the expedition, not too sure what to do with it. 🙂

[fair badge]

I just used it.

Made a lil broodling.

[soft pilot]

?

[fair badge]

The egg.

[soft pilot]

i played over 800 hrs through the years but i can't remember how to use the egg hehe. i tried and it wants me to drop it on the ground or something.

I have memory issues

[fair badge]

Yeah, you just set it down and it makes a lil creature spawn.

[soft pilot]

it spawns right away?

[fair badge]

Yeah.

[soft pilot]

ok i thought i would have to wait, was concerned about dropping it on the ground, seeing I've not built a base in the expedition save, yet.

[fair badge]

Yeah no, no worries.

I wonder if it can grow tho.

[soft pilot]

cool thanx for info 🙂

[wraith junco]

U have to wait between each time pet lays the egg.

U can hatch egg right away

[soft pilot]

i see

I'm not big on companions, I'm just curious to see it, I found a very cool animal in the wild, i tamed it but I'm somewhat practical and not much into fluff, so I see no use for companions really 🙂

[wraith junco]

Some can move fast. Its handy in early game when u dont have exocrafts yet or in higher difficulty when u want to save launch fuel or exosuit oxygen

[soft pilot]

🙂

[wraith junco]

Besides that we only have them because they are cool/cute

[soft pilot]

oh, is there a way to change the PoV of the Minotaur? I almost never use it as I hate the way the camera is right behind it, blocking the view all the time.

[lusty slate]

It's there just because mainly. Some things are just cool

[soft pilot]

yeah last one i tamed, i only did because i find it cool.

[lusty slate]

Pets, not Minotaur view lol

[soft pilot]

hehe

[lusty slate]

I like how some things in NMS are just for cool factor or role-playing.

[soft pilot]

I wish there was a 1st person view for Minotaur

i would use it a lot if there was

[wraith junco]

Wait. It dont have it? What?

Did u checked in quick menu?

[granite ridge]

There is - and you probably won't

[wraith junco]

From what i know all exocrafts have 1st person view

[soft pilot]

how?

[wraith junco]

Quick menu

[granite ridge]

Quick > cogwheel > entry further right

[tame shale]

The only companion I really like is this one guy who basically runs as fast as the dickens. When I don't have an exocraft available, they are awesome.

[fair badge]

For me it's just quick menu>change camera view.

Also hey I just completed my first expedition.

Epico.

I did my part!

[tame shale]

Huzzah!

[fair badge]

I'll keep doing parts tho cause y'know.

[tame shale]

Hoping to get my 4th and 5th bonus optional

[fair badge]

Y'can gimme some of yo part if you want.

People just have to do their part to get these.

[granite ridge]

Uh, you're right, it's ship view which is in utilities(?)

[fair badge]

So.

HEY. DO YO PART.

[fair badge]

Yeah when you're on foot and in a ship it is that way.

[tame shale]

I do my part! Killing all the bad things

[fair badge]

I did parts with my trusty part-doing Minotaur.

He's quite the partgoer.

[patent tiger]

hey guys

where i can find the creature that is very aggresive? above 12 pav

because i cant find it

[snow ruin]

Yeah, there is first person view. Go through quick menu

[granite ridge]

!CheckPins

[unkempt kraken]

Plz check the pins

-# 📱 Tap (top right) » Pins / 💻 Ctrl + P
-# Click for DM or run !Pins in #bot-spam

[patent tiger]

ok thx

[fair badge]

It's actually uuuh me.

You just found it.

I'm gon attack you.

[snow ruin]

Remember; turn PvP off

[patent tiger]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm so thx too

[soft pilot]

why would the game tells me i can't call my freighter in local system because it can't travel that far when I've built and upgraded it and seems it's max distance is near 500 LY's and I'm only trying to call it from 96 LY's ?

[indigo falcon]

what color star system areyou in?

[atomic estuary]

Its not about distance but about your freighter not being able to access that system bc of not having sufficient hyperdrive upgrade.

Basic freighter hyperdrive can only take you to yellow star systems

And can only be summoned at yellow star systems

[soft pilot]

odd why is my text red? 🙂

well then they need to change the messages seeing it has none to do with the distance.

[indigo falcon]

feel free to report it

[faint pelican]

If I leave my nutrient processor and Minotaur at my expedition base, will they be there from my main save? Or can we take them through the terminal in the anomaly and if so will there tech and inventory transfer?

[soft pilot]

ok thanx, i will

[ornate wing]

Afaik it you switch saves no.

[teal valley]

Whats the max kills counted per day?

Per person

[snow ruin]

150 as far as we know. It does not show up in the UI directly

The source for it is linked in the pins

[teal valley]

I'm at 500 sentnals this morning, guess I did my part already

[solid dome]

anyone know which of the planets have the deep sea monstocities?

i cant even scan planets because of how many bases are on them lol

[wraith junco]

One with water. Look for red icon called alluring specimen.

[outer comet]

The starter planet has them but basically any planet with deep enough water

[solid dome]

do you possibly remember the name of the starter planet?

[wraith junco]

Names are In pins

[solid dome]

OH thank u

[south salmon]

So odd thing: go to the planet where the final drop point is ... It's got a massive ocean

[indigo falcon]

red icon containing a white orb, that's what you'll see in the HUD

[south salmon]

I was hunting around for one myself (I was struggling) found one, then landed on the final area ... To find it's a giant ocean

I've never facepalmed so hard

[indigo falcon]

with aquajets it doesn't matter

[ornate wing]

Don't be afraid to just warp off the beaten path. There is billions of systems out there, despite how long this game has been going on you find plenty of planets that have yet to be touched by some one.

[trim topaz]

Anyone know of a planet in the last system with an aggressive creature? It’s the last thing I have and I can’t find one

[finite rover]

so what counts as a sea monstrocity?

[trim topaz]

The big angler fish with alluring specimens

[barren quiver]

there will be a red icon in the water called "alluring specimen" or something like that

it'll be a big rock with glowing bits on it and you just have to pick the glowing things until it spawns

[finite rover]

oh. those guys

[barren quiver]

yeah

[finite rover]

this is gonna suck.

[solid dome]

true but im not on my main account, im just here for the dope rewards LOL

[wanton frigate]

if you've been collecting your rewards and installing your free tech you can swim faster than it and spit lead like peanuts out the back of a professional guinness taster, you'll be fine. Just turn the volume down....

[finite rover]

more the case of /finding/ them. they're rarish. took me until now to find some and got lucky with two together.

[wanton frigate]

yeah. "Lucky" 😄

[finite rover]

oh ffs! Whaddayamean I cannot land here. I landed in the middle of the ocean 6 minutes away! Grrr

[finite rover]

easy kill with a pulse spitter so... :)

[ornate wing]

I must got lucky, and got the goal done in just one encounter.

[fair badge]

KILL THE BIG FISHIES.

WIT MINOTAUR.

But yeah I just tried to find the largest piece of water I could on an icy planet and looked around.

In the water.

With the Minotaur.

[finite rover]

yaaay! LAND AHOY!

you can land on water but you cannot summon a ship to land on water

[fair badge]

Kinda weird.

[ornate wing]

Really? I been able to.

Just need the equipment so it hovers.

[finite rover]

I just failed :/

yeah got that

[trim topaz]

I called my ship to land on water

[fair badge]

I've been able to land it on oxygen.

Just...

In the air.

(I haven't.)

[finite rover]

hrm. dunno what happened.

[finite rover]

were you floating at the time?

[fair badge]

Do you have the thing installed on your ship?

To land on water?

[finite rover]

yeah

[fair badge]

...

Well I don't frickin know, I never land my ship on water.

He didn't do his part.

[trim topaz]

I was in the water

[fair badge]

This expedition sure has lore.

[wanton frigate]

Someone has misunderstood what it means to "do your part"

[rose veldt]

Can confirm too that it works very correctly

I Can summon the ship to land on water, only thing we can't do is to summon when we are inside the water, if you are above you can summon ( Floating)

[fair badge]

The great explorator and liquidator Jared Nebraska discovered a planet, which he thought had one foul odor.
Therefore he named it "Smell my finger".

The rookie liquidator Dirty Mick ended up on the planet and found the source of that smell. He created an outpost nearby and named it "Sticky Finger Outpost".

Do we have any lore about Bio Horrors?

Except that apparently people believe they're from "The Abyss".

Whatever the Abyss is, Korvax Prime or whatever.

NMS lore go eeee.

Brood lore when.

[finite rover]

I must've done it wrong, then. Good to know it actually does work, though

[astral prairie]

Anyone know where to find that apex predator? <.<

[fair badge]

I found mine pretty randomly.

But I think there's a "Violent Planet" on one of the systems on the way to the drop zones.

So I dunno.

I haven't looked much into it tho-

Do Bio Horrors count as apex predators?

[olive gull]

can anyone please help me with the expdition?

[fair badge]

What's the matter?

[olive gull]

are you refering to me?

[fair badge]

Yeh.

[olive gull]

nothing is wrong i just need some general advise

[snow ruin]

Seemed like you didn't get an answer, but

[fair badge]

Oh like, random advices?
Or something specific?

[olive gull]

like what to take with me and where to progress first

[fair badge]

I mean I personally just took some scatter thingy mods with me cause most of the rest I took wasn't there when I started.

But I guess what you'll start with is mostly just basic material gathering.

You'll fight a lot in this but you'll get pretty handy stuff to along the way.

So you don't have to worry a whole lot about that.

[olive gull]

should i take a boat lot of runaway mold?

for nanites/

[fair badge]

There is a thing where you gotta get 6k nanites.
If you feel the necessity to, sure.

I didn't take stuff to get nanites beforehand and didn't really need to.

But ey.

[full sail]

Let's say I killed 1500 enemies during phase 3, does that mean I'm done for phase 4 and 5 also? or does my kill count only count for the phase we were on?

[snow ruin]

That should probably have been in a spoiler for those that would've wanted to see it as they play. Just something to keep in mind going forward to be nice to those that don't want to be spoiled.

[fair badge]

...ahem.

Sorrgy.

[fair badge]

You can do milestones from other phases even if you haven't completed the phase that comes before.

[snow ruin]

No worries, it wasn't meant as a large chastisement, but just as a nudge

[full sail]

I mean the community ones, like the Optional goals

[fair badge]

Oh, uh I don't think it the phase you're in really matters for that.

It's a community thing so it just takes everyone's kills during the expedition.

Whatever phase you're doin.

[olive gull]

is this expiditon harder then expidition 13?

[snow ruin]

We don't quite know, most of us have probably just been doing enough murder on each tier that we didn't notice if the next tier unlocked without us doing any further murder.

[fair badge]

Seems like it grew quite fast during the past few days.

[ashen shore]

It's a trend that it's fast first 50% slow second 50%aside from tier 1

[full sail]

I'm at almost 4k kills totally 😛

[snow ruin]

There is a minimum contribution needed to unlock the tier personally.
The pattern has been a minimum of 50 kills per tier to unlock that tier personally to get it for free after the community has unlocked it

[fair badge]

I don't really watch kills, I'm just happy I did my part.

[olive gull]

what is the total number of kills needed?

[fair badge]

But I'll probably keep killin for the rest of the Liquidator Minotaur.

[ashen shore]

There is no minimum contribution
I've switched to the expo collected the rewards all 3 times and switched back

[snow ruin]

The numbers shown previously was 250 million

[olive gull]

bro what

[wanton frigate]

We don't call 'em killin's or murders. Part Doin's, that's what theys is!

[full sail]

Then my 4k is not that much..

[fair badge]

We just doin our part!

[snow ruin]

It's not about any single hero, it's about doing your part

[fair badge]

I mean you're not all alone.

There are 27k people playin at the moment.

I dunno how many of these are doin the expedition.
But probably still a lot.

So you don't really have to worry.

[olive gull]

so this expidtion is somthing that we ALL need to work to in order to get everything done? like the kill count is a global thing that everyone does for each other?

[full sail]

I recommend finding a no atmosphere planet, smash some eggs, fly up and stay up and just hurl Plasma at them, that way you can just knock out the entire spawn with 20 shots or less 😛

[fair badge]

You're just doin your part!

[snow ruin]

This expedition has a "community goal" as part of it, but it's optional

[wanton frigate]

You aren't meant to clear the tier yourself. You know the saying - kill one, you're a murderer. Kill ten thousand, you're a conqueror. Kill 250 million, hey - you did your part.

[snow ruin]

Community goals have been done outside of expeditions before

[trim topaz]

Well we only have the two optional objectives left. I think we are doing well

[olive gull]

is the thingy how you unlock the ship?

cause all i want from this expidtion is the ship ngl

[full sail]

[fair badge]

The ship?

What ship?

[wanton frigate]

there's no ship this expedition. There's armor for the Minotaur

[snow ruin]

I liked the Minotaur cannon. It could just send an explosive every half second or so and just slaughter 150 from one swarm

[fair badge]

It's parts for the Minotaur.

[olive gull]

oh

[fair badge]

There ain't no ship.

And funky bug parts for yourself.

[olive gull]

then how do u get the ship with the glowing hover pads

[fair badge]

Uuuh.

[wanton frigate]

First you'll need a flux capacitor

[olive gull]

wth is that?

and how do i get 1

[wanton frigate]

it's a time travel joke

[fair badge]

That one?

[snow ruin]

It's a reference to a movie

[olive gull]

no alr got that one

[fair badge]

Oh.

Well I dunno-

[olive gull]

ill try and find a picture

[fair badge]

But there's no ship in that expedition.

Khaylain are you a ship?

[snow ruin]

Might be the Iron Vulture they're talking about

[wanton frigate]

Do you mean the hover-hauler from Adrift? They may re-run it over christmas

[snow ruin]

Negative, I'm a Liquidator

[fair badge]

Dam.

Maybe like.
A Liquidator ship.

I don't even know what that would look like.

[ornate wing]

Bug heads mounted on it.

[fair badge]

There's no real aesthetic for the Liquidators yet.

[wanton frigate]

It would be a drop pod.
You just fire them out of a freighter by the thousands, and drop minotaurs near them.

[fair badge]

The only actual Liquidator thing we have is the Minotaur.

[ornate wing]

I also spam the liquidator logo everywere on my basees.

[olive gull]

it looka knda like this but its front it short and the wings are in the front

[fair badge]

I'll probably try to get bug heads after that.

...Like, bug head appearances.

Not like...

[ornate wing]

lol

[fair badge]

Anyway.

[olive gull]

also the wings move if you go up or down

[fair badge]

Well I already have one but the one we get from expedition is eh.

[ornate wing]

I actually enjoy the Liquidator aspect, feels like we are all war vets.

[fair badge]

Next time I hope we all go on a planet and defend it from aliens and giant insects.

To save our mother Earth from any alien attack...

From vicious giant insects who have once again come back.

[olive gull]

forneus has anything i said rang a bell?

[fair badge]

Nay!

[olive gull]

dang

[fair badge]

You most likely don't get that in the Liquidator expedition.

So it might be another one.

[olive gull]

is this expdition 14 or 15?

[olive gull]

or is it 16?

[fair badge]

It 14.

[olive gull]

THEN IVE GOT NO IDEAA WHAT IS GOING ONNNNNNNN

[fair badge]

Like uuuh.

[olive gull]

mabye fake picture

[fair badge]

...I don't have any 14 reference.

[olive gull]

huh?

[fair badge]

Where did you find this?

[olive gull]

youtude

[fair badge]

Oh.

Well I dunno, maybe someone just found it randomly.

[olive gull]

;-;

[snow ruin]

If you started the expedition from a your main save you could probably transfer a lot of the "wriggling bugs" or whatever they're called that you crush in inventory to call bug queens to your main save when ending the expedition so you can have a lot of them ready for grinding those drops on your main save.

[fair badge]

Reminds me I found a random crashed ship on my way to a place for the milestones.
I was like "the hell you doin here".

[olive gull]

oh well ig ill have to spend 16 sextillion years looking in every solar system in every galaxy

toodles

[fair badge]

Yeye I know.

I think I asked for it a few days ago.

But yeah, I'll do that stuff.

With my PART DOING MINOTAUR.

Would be cool if we got a Liquidator cape.

Or perhaps the Helldivers reference would be too much?

I don't even use capes, I dunno why I asked that.

[snow ruin]

Make the cape have a large red dropoff on the right side?

[fair badge]

The cape has brood blood on it.

...Whatever "brood blood" looks like.

Or like.

I dunno.

It's kinda funny tho how...

You're a Liquidator, you kill brood stuff.
But you get parts that literally turn you into brood.

And get a "Broodling" title.

||Well I guess it's... Somewhat relevant to the story you discover throughout the expedition||.

[clear slate]

hey guys how do i get the expedition costume on my main save? it says i already collected the reward but it doesnt show up when i go to character costumization

[fair badge]

...huh.
That weird. You sure you're in the right part of character customization?

I mean it's supposed to show on both saves.

[clear slate]

maybe not? i cant find the head in heads tho thats for sure

[fair badge]

You sure you got the head, right?

Maybe check if the feet and gloves are there.

[clear slate]

they appeared now

wierd ass shit

[fair badge]

Oh well.

[clear slate]

i did a restart

eh

[fair badge]

That happens.

[wraith badge]

make sure you have the correct race selected ... certain parts can only be applied to certain races. So if your character is Vy'Keen for example they may not be able to have the head

[rocky kernel]

That is weird, I found the other one that's more pointy. That one in your photo looks like the one I found on an earlier system in the expedition and was my first sentinel. Though I didn't find an s class there.

[fair badge]

Oh yeah I found that one too.

[full sail]

I can't find how I get my storage boxes for land. I got them for the freighter, but they don't show up on my buildings for land bases. And I also seems to be missing the little thing that you could buy certain upgrades from with Salvage Modules

[snow ruin]

The Anomaly. They're separate

[full sail]

Thanks feels Like I went throught that list 159835 times but must've missed it

[rocky kernel]

Yeah, the base structures list is huge, always takes way too long for me to scroll through them all to find what I want for that one.

Pretty sure my memory is saying it's on the left hand side of the UI/Screen.

[full sail]

Yes, you were correct:P

[indigo falcon]

well the class can be rolled, but the model should be fixed for any given planetary system. who knows

[rocky kernel]

Right, every ship I found looked like the other black/yellow ship on the Kijavida planet. It is interesting though, perhaps you found a way to find a certain body of a sentinel ship on a different planet. Maybe it's tied to the planet you got the echo thing from? Or maybe you found it via the killing of the sentinels on another planet and you got that roll.

I do recall someone else seeing something similar. Was the first one they found on the planet and later after a reload they got the roll everyone else got for the planet.

[valid roost]

29% already, hope this keeps up by tmr

[indigo falcon]

I got the echo locator on that planet and then went and looked for the harmonic camp and ship in the same play session

[rocky kernel]

Weird, and we're talking about the dark volcanic planet that has constant storms right? I have a hell of a time finding camps there. First one I found was marked and finding the resonators has been very hard. So dark, so hot, can't see because of constant heat storms, and the mountains seem to interfere with scans and also spawning them in. I did find one area with 3 resonators, one had an echo locator but I need to go back and get it if I can find it again. 😂

[fair badge]

Whispering omelettes.
Goofy stuff.

[indigo falcon]

I don't remember it being volcanic. Huh.

Maybe I was in some system in between drop zone systems and found a world there instead? I'll check

[rocky kernel]

There is another disonant planet earlier in the expedition, and it has that ship.

I have an A class of it.

[indigo falcon]

maybe that's the one then, I wonder which world

[rocky kernel]

I should remember as I've been to it soooo many times. 😂 Let me see if I can find it real quick, I think it's closer to the start but not sure.

[indigo falcon]

I'm loading in now, will tell you in a bit

[rocky kernel]

Ah, definitely easier than my method... 😂

I even have a base on it.

[indigo falcon]

Aenuscan Prime, barren world, in Amayon XVIII so yeah this was on the route. Sorry for the confusion!

(Vykeen system, 5 planets)

[rocky kernel]

Yes, that's it! TY

[fair badge]

The epic milestone.

Cook Bio horrors.

[karmic valve]

did everyones community progress just reset to 0?

nvm, back now

just got a shock from seeing 0% filled from goal

[rocky kernel]

I see that now and then, likely just bad data from the server or a failed connection to get it.

[indigo falcon]

ods jitters or something, no worries

[stoic wing]

is there anything i should give myself for the expedition using the terminal in the player space station

[snow ruin]

I liked to put the personal refiner MK2, and something to turn into nanites; that way you can clone your ship into the expedition.
Other than that I don't think you'll really need much

Oh, Atlas Pass v3

I dislike a lot not being able to open stuff

[stoic wing]

hmm ok thanks

it this expedtion quite easy?

[indigo falcon]

I took nothing with me, I don't really love combat, it was still just fine

it helps if you know certain game mechanics, if you're trying to shorten the time it takes to do certain milestones, but that's all

also please do read the pins in here if you like, there is one that lists all milestones and rewards, and another one with some helpful tips. but if you prefer no spoilers, save those for later

[woeful blaze]

Hey guys, which one do I keep from the Expedition? The S tier Exotic or the B tier Sentinel?

Sentinel's extra stats are from a lot of upgrades

[indigo falcon]

keep them both. switch to main save and copy over one, then switch back, set the other ship to active, switch back to main and copy that one too ( 😛 ) assuming you started from an existing save

[woeful blaze]

Oh, I didn't know I could do both

Thought it was a limit of one! Whoops

[indigo falcon]

as long as you don't exit the expedition for good, and you have the nanites on your main save

at least I think that's possible. you can certainly make multiple copies of the active ship

[stoic wing]

would i be better to start a new save for the expedition or use the thing in the player space hub?

[opal glade]

it looks like a crane

[opal glade]

where'd you get the exotic?

[woeful blaze]

I think just a random npc

[opal glade]

lol

[indigo falcon]

it's really up to you. if you want to progress the main save some and it's still early-mid game, then maybe start from that. if you want a new save and plan to keep all the items you get along the way, do that

[opal glade]

if I learned anything from No Man Sky is that nothing is RNG in this game

it has to be in some system

[woeful blaze]

I have absolutely no clue

[opal glade]

damn it

[woeful blaze]

Ive just been vibing

Haven't kept track one bit!

I also got an S Class Multi Tool as my starting one!

[indigo falcon]

your starting multitool will get upgraded to S class over the course of the expedition in any case

[woeful blaze]

Oh whoops

[opal glade]

lol

not paying attention

[woeful blaze]

I've been gone for a week and just assumed I started with it

[indigo falcon]

that and a pile of weapons and upgrades

[woeful blaze]

I do remember the many, many upgrades

[opal glade]

well the upgrades are .... all A

except the scatter shot ones

so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[indigo falcon]

still pretty good. and it's not like you don't get a ton of nanites

all that salvaged glass 😛

[opal glade]

lool

fucking sentinel lootboxes

[indigo falcon]

they really are.

[ornate wing]

I ended up basically dissembling the multi-tool given to me and turned it into a scanning tool.

[opal glade]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[indigo falcon]

I picked up an A royal which I use for scanning mining on the expedition save

specifically for mould, I have a mould farm...

[opal glade]

man I was so starved for nanites

[indigo falcon]

it doesn't even have a terrain manip on it

[opal glade]

i went to each spacestation going "brother can you spare a nanite" to all the encrypted navigation cubes

i saw a traveller once and he gave me a traveller lootbox

but that was like .... a c-class mod

that i sold for like 100 nanites

[indigo falcon]

scan all the things, upload, turn in to the npc at the anomaly, profit (until you feel like whacking some drones)

[opal glade]

yeah i did that

im done with the expedition already

did it all in one night

[snow ruin]

You disguised your true feelings of the multitool? ;P ||I'm poking fun at the choice of words, I understand you meant disassembled XD||

[ornate wing]

Lol

[indigo falcon]

many more typos will be coming your way if you stick around. be ready

[ornate wing]

I'm still hunting for a S class rifle.

[snow ruin]

It's not as fun when it's just a typo instead of probably autocorrect using a different existing word

[opal glade]

i instantly dumped my starting hauler for my copied ship

[indigo falcon]

I'm still in it, to help a little with tier progress, and to re-upload a couple bases for players

[opal glade]

cuz hooooly crap was it bad

[snow ruin]

Although "thank gog" was fun

[snow ruin]

Same

[opal glade]

same im still killing random mutated bugs for progress

[indigo falcon]

I did not copy any ship or mt. after completion I was exploring around and finally got fed up enough to go get an interceptor

[snow ruin]

That hauler was just not something I wanted to deal with

[opal glade]

its so bad

i don't understand how people can stand haulers... i guess they have s-class haulers so it's not as bad

but its soooooooo slooooowwww to turrrrrn

[ornate wing]

I wish they would redo the ship types. I always thought haulers always had more natural inventory slots. But then learned they just got "shields"

[indigo falcon]

the hauler was pretty awful. with reasonable upgrades it would have been ok, like any ship. but I would rather put the upgrades into an interceptor or an exotic

[opal glade]

i mean ... they do

but if you need that many more nventory slots you got issues

[ornate wing]

You would be amazed what my industrious strip the earth of things can do.

[indigo falcon]

what really sealed the deal for me was running out of tech slots, I was not interested in adding slots to that mess

[opal glade]

fighter cargo limit is 100
hauler cargo limit is 120 to upgrade

if you REAAAALLLYYY need that extra 20 you have hoarding problem or have no free freighter

[indigo falcon]

on my main saves I typically have an S hauler fully decked out, it's generally used for storage overflow

(after storage containers, exocraft, freighter)

[opal glade]

yeah

[ornate wing]

I collect artifacts and bones.

[opal glade]

.......why?

you can't even display them

[mental saddle]

I just did my part for democracy

[snow ruin]

Sean, double the storage slots in the "external storages"

[mental saddle]

Come on, people

We can get to stage 5 today

[opal glade]

i can understand if they're trophies but they don't do anything

[indigo falcon]

why not? players collect all kinds of things. mementos and so on

[ashen shore]

Hauler use to have a larger difference the differences got nerfed to give fighter more cargo so really fighter users have the problem

[opal glade]

XD

[ornate wing]

Mostly trophies. I filter out anything below the 300 years old.

[opal glade]

SHHHHHH no one is supposed to admit they're hoarders

[indigo falcon]

doubtful, btu likely by the end of the week

[opal glade]

ageist

Xd

[mental saddle]

No really, we got 30% in one day

Actually, half a day

[ashen shore]

I need the flamethrower asap

[mental saddle]

We can get to 5 by thursday

[indigo falcon]

yep pretty fast

[opal glade]

is the pulse spitter not good enough?

[mental saddle]

Flamethrower is for the minotaur

[ashen shore]

No

[ornate wing]

Oh fun fact. Your mech can and will get wrecked as a AI fighting on its own. I had a nasty fight between giant worms, swarm, and sentinels. Had to repair every piece of it later.

[opal glade]

where do you get that btw?

[opal glade]

i have an upgrade mod for the flamethrower but no flamethrower

[mental saddle]

Either contribute to the expedition so we can complete all 5 stages, or buy for quicksilver in the shop

[snow ruin]

I don't like most of the exocraft. They seem so clunky all of them

[ornate wing]

I mostly do mino or Colossus.

[opal glade]

oh is that phase 5's reward?

damn thats decent

[indigo falcon]

the pilgrim is pretty good

[mental saddle]

Minotaur so good to pilot tho

[ornate wing]

Colossus because big truck go vroom.

[opal glade]

what does the collassus do?

[indigo falcon]

zippy and small hitbox

[opal glade]

is it just a big truck that crushes things?

[indigo falcon]

thecolossus is another storage container 😄

[opal glade]

oohhhhhhhhhhh

[mental saddle]

Max storage spaces

[ornate wing]

Nothing special anymore besides largest capacity. But it also can basically climb any mountain.

[mental saddle]

Mobile storage container

[acoustic jacinth]

For the first time since I played No Man's Sky, I died in game. I thought I lost every item, cause I was playing Expedition.

[mental saddle]

They are giving more uses for the minotaur now

[opal glade]

it's big enough to BE the mountain

[mental saddle]

I hope worlds part 2 gives the other exocrafts actual uses

[acoustic jacinth]

Buy for Quicksilver?

[mental saddle]

Can't yet, I'm pretty sure we need to complete phase 5 so people can access

Meaning that you can get it if you stay in the expedition

[indigo falcon]

no, typically you get a grave marker and etc. (one expedition was an exception)

[acoustic jacinth]

I am just aching for everyone to complete Phase 5

[mental saddle]

But if you quit earlier you have to pay

[mental saddle]

Start another expedition save and complete it, it will advance progress

I am starting my 3rd one now

[acoustic jacinth]

Guys, do you think Expedition 13 will have a Redux? Cause I want that Cursed Frigate

[ashen shore]

Or be like me and just wait for others to finish the expo for you

[mental saddle]

Honestly I just wish I could get expedition 6 rewards

I want that outlaw cape

[acoustic jacinth]

Click on the channel

[indigo falcon]

normally the year's expedition's are all run again at the end of the year, so if that happens, then yes

[ashen shore]

!clickonthatchannel

[mental saddle]

Also, it's 32%

[acoustic jacinth]

So, at the end of this year we may have a run again on Adrift and Liquidators. Any other expedition that happened this year?

[mental saddle]

No

[acoustic jacinth]

Ok

[mental saddle]

Unless Omega was this year

Which I don't think it was

[acoustic jacinth]

Adrift was maybe this year.

[mental saddle]

I don't have a very good sense of time, but it's not that terrible

[acoustic jacinth]

But was Adrift bad?

[mental saddle]

Adrift was creepy

[bold musk]

I'm just doing ship and freighter salvaging until this expedition goal is complete (and killing bugs) so I can move over all these ship, multi tool,exosuit,and freighter upgrades to my main account.ps do those upgrades count as tech or inventory?

[indigo falcon]

Omega was Feb.

[bold musk]

Also managed to rack up 100 mil off salvaging wrecked ships...

[mental saddle]

Oh god, my sense of time is messed up

[acoustic jacinth]

I always bring a stack of Starship AI Valves and when I gotta sell, I sell some. Not all at once.

[lusty slate]

Omega, Adrift and Liquidators are the 2024 expeds so far.

[acoustic jacinth]

Then we may have a rerun on those at the end of the year. Omega and Adrift, here I come!

[mental saddle]

Omega was fun

[bold musk]

Oh good.i missed at least one of those

[indigo falcon]

adrift was pretty unique (without giving any spoilers)

[mental saddle]

Adrift was cool

[faint pelican]

Can we take this Minotaur back to main save?

[mental saddle]

I really liked it, but idk if I'd run it again lol

[mental saddle]

You can transfer tech

[lusty slate]

Tempted to run Omega again if they don't nerf the QS payout.

[mental saddle]

But you already have the recipe unlocked if you are still in the expedition

[ashen shore]

Omega expo was so boring lok

[mental saddle]

If you stay to the end and cllect everything, you'll get the recipes

[mental saddle]

That was the best part tbh

That and the negative reputation glitch lmao

[ashen shore]

That's what I'm doing I'm smoking my geknip waiting for yall to hurry up and do your part

[tame shale]

Potato has anyone asked you if you were a Frozen Tuber at some point? 🙂

[bold musk]

You know what this game needs?

Orbital bombardment.

Make a reason to have your Freightliner above planet.

[tame shale]

oh my

[white relic]

why's it skew xD

[tame shale]

I just wish that I could jetpack up there

[lusty slate]

More MT slots first, please

[tame shale]

I'm so excited for getting pants for my Minotaur

[mental saddle]

Just call your mech on top of the insects lol

[tame shale]

They told me I could only do 50 a day, but I think if I start a brand new save it'd count for more huh?

That's it! I'm starting another run when I get home.

Open, Open, Open!

[opal glade]

the reason you have your freighter above a planet is so you can access the storage containers if its there and materialize your exocraft without a summoning station

i think thats good enough

[ashen shore]

I'm doing 0 day, follow me for more tips on the expiditon lol

[opal glade]

orbital bombardment is jsut....... overkill

[bold musk]

More PewPew

[opal glade]

I mean

[snow ruin]

Your minotaur is not straight ;P

[tame shale]

grins

That's OK, many of us are not

[snow ruin]

No, I don't think anyone has actually told you you could only do 50 a day.
But from the datamined info (which is linked in the pins) we think only 150 kills is counted towards the community goal per person per day.

[drowsy imp]

how far is the community progress rn?

[tame shale]

oh - I misremembered, you're right, 150 kills

[bold musk]

In fairness I could easily see players use it on someone's base I guess lol

[snow ruin]

The description for the milestones showing "x and counting" has nothing to do with your per day limit

[tame shale]

kinetic energy weapons?

artillery-style?

[white relic]

really only 150?

that kinda sux

do you have to make a new save or is it based on your account

[snow ruin]

We assume it's account, but I don't think anyone knows

[bold musk]

It's probably to prevent bot abuse (if that's even a thing in this specific game)

[tame shale]

nods - sighs

ah well, we will make it through

[ornate wing]

My theory is it assures people stick to the event and not just empty out to only check in for rewards.

[snow ruin]

250 million, divided by however many days the expedition lasts, divided again by 150 (the kills per day per person) and you'll get the number of people that would have to do the maximum each day to just get the goal at the end of the expedition.

More people than that and it finishes faster, less people and it doesn't finish

[white relic]

isnt it like 5 weeks

[snow ruin]

I think it was almost 6 weeks from the beginning. We're 12 or 13 days in now

[mental saddle]

It still has 5 weeks left

[opal glade]

XD

underestimate the power of the human swarm

[mental saddle]

Also, the number of kills went up to 200 for me

[tame shale]

wowwww OK then we got time

[ashen shore]

I will give emotional support

[snow ruin]

So since we're over 3/5ths through after 12-13 days it doesn't take a lot of math to see that unless something changes drastically we'll be fairly soon at the end

[ornate wing]

250 for next phase T-T

if the pattern continues

[snow ruin]

Saying you're not doing your part is more demoralizing "support"

[white relic]

im doing my part

[snow ruin]

I love the minotaur for quickly grabbing 150 kills on biohorrors. Just chuck explosives at their spawning point continuously

[white relic]

just use plasma launcher

how do you even know when you've reached max kills

[snow ruin]

Count the loot, basically

[white relic]

oh

i have so many stacks of that in my inventory i have no idea

[snow ruin]

Though you could also check the numbers in the mercenaries tab before and after

I've cooked the biohorror steaks and feed them to Cronus. (AutoHotkey helped a lot with that, because that's boring)

[tame shale]

Appreciated!

They bring a good price, too

[south salmon]

So wait ... If we finished the expedition, do we need to pay for the parts now?

[snow ruin]

Cronus gives nanites for it

[tame shale]

ohooooo

boy is my face red

[mental saddle]

You ended the expedition or you returned to main save? If you ended it, you gotta pay.

[snow ruin]

But it takes so long to give him all of it. You can only give 1 at a time

[south salmon]

... DAMN IT

[ashen shore]

The expiditon always finishes, if it doesn't hello games will just give everyone with the expiditon active the rewards lol

[white relic]

bro its 4 per steak

thats insanely low

[mental saddle]

I could be wrong on this, but I think expedition stuff is account-wide, so maybe you can start an expedition save lol

[snow ruin]

You can start a new expedition save and it should help get you it for free if you unlock it on that save, though

[south salmon]

-runs-

[snow ruin]

Are you talking about nanites from Cronus?

[white relic]

yeah

[snow ruin]

Because I got 30k nanites from feeding him about 500 biohorror steaks

[mental saddle]

Nanite farms are a resource sink

[snow ruin]

Maybe closer to 600, though

[mental saddle]

Just buy nanites with credits tbh

[white relic]

i just wish there was a way to instantly make dialogue options appear

[snow ruin]

He gives slightly randomized number of nanites

[mental saddle]

Go to pirate stations, buy suspicious packets, open and sell the tech

[snow ruin]

Yeah. There was a reason I used AutoHotkey to make it more doable

[white relic]

this is much better

[snow ruin]

So about 50 per steak in the end.

[fair badge]

Aight y'know what.

The head you get from the expedition is actually pretty cool.

[fair badge]

What's a Cronus?

[snow ruin]

The glutton on the Anomaly

[fair badge]

Oh.
You can get nanites from that guy?

[snow ruin]

Yup, give him food and get nanites

[fair badge]

Neat.

[snow ruin]

It's not a very efficient way unless you automate it, though

[fair badge]

Right, right.
I mean with all the Bio horrors we find on the way in that expedition it's pretty valuable tho isn't it?

[snow ruin]

Yeah, somewhat. You can just cook it and sell it instead of trying to get nanites from Cronus with it

[white relic]

well are you going to share the ahk script with us then?

[snow ruin]

Sure

[white relic]

cheers

oh ok

At least it works on my system

[sullen panther]

I created a new save for this expedition and want to build a base. However, I do not seem to have solar modules, batteries or any other form of energy generation unlocked. Did I miss something?

[snow ruin]

You probably need to unlock all that on the Anomaly

[ornate wing]

^

Yea, no build tutorial.

[sullen panther]

I looked at the construction terminal but did not find the section where these unlock. Maybe I just overlooked them. I'll have a look again, thanks :)

[indigo falcon]

there's only the wooden pieces and a few other items you get for free. so better collect some salvaged data

[snow ruin]

Solar panels and batteries absolutely is in the construction terminal on the Anomaly.

[indigo falcon]

they are there, I bought all that during the run

[white relic]

i thought this was a brood mother but its just a random mob...

[sullen panther]

Okay, many thanks. I just appear to be partially blind then. I'll have a look again.
See you out there :)

[ornate wing]

I still remember back when I was new and I swapped out my crashed ship for the pre-order. Then realized I never learned the Harmonic Seal blueprint.

Took me 2 days to hunt for Manufacturing Facilities to finally get the option to get it.

[olive gull]

@fair badge i found the ship i was talking about thanks to the lovely people in photo gallery, its this ship but i still dont know how to get it... do you know how?

[ornate wing]

#nms-legacy-ships would probably be your best resource. It doesn't look specific to the Expedition.

[olive gull]

dang i was thinking it was but ig not

do u know what kind of ship that is tho?

[snow ruin]

Probably a previous expedition

[white relic]

could be custom too no?

[indigo falcon]

looks like the wings from the iron vulture, hrm

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Firon-vulture-vs-razor-crest-v0-7y9siauieg3d1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D5291d333b9ebb01990578b3ed7dc0ac9093cd431

yeah it might be that ship, that's from Adrift (is it? I think that's the one)

get it during the redux of that expedition, assuming those happen on schedule

[white relic]

reduxes run the same way as this current one? you can just go into it from main save?

[indigo falcon]

yes, but they are on a compressed schedule, generally 2 weeks to complete each one, and milestones adjusted as needed to make it a little shorter. same rewards though

[white relic]

if you partially complete one and then it finishes, then when it comes again will you have to start from 0? or will it have your progress from before

[snow ruin]

Probably the first one

[indigo falcon]

the redux is usually in a different planetary system, you'll start a new run for it

[white relic]

ok

does this server post notifications on the schedule?

[indigo falcon]

and as I said, the milestones are often tweaked a little

[dusty elm]

I have a juicy grub in my inventory. Is there a better place to crush it? Like on a starter planet, or at a particular place?

[indigo falcon]

#nms-announcements probably has them

[indigo falcon]

well if it's near a building including your base, then you can get up on a rooftop and shoot from there. if you just want to leave without killing the bug, then next to your ship is a good choice

a place without sentinels is a good idea if you want to stick around to kill it

[dusty elm]

I have the Metamorphosis 'crush a vile grub' mission selected. Is this what I'm doing, this mission?

[fair badge]

Pretty sure that's from the previous expedition. I think.

It's not from the current one either way.

[glad anchor]

Anyone currently playing the expedition: Can you tell me roughly the position from the core of the main system chain for this expedition? Just take a look at the galaxy map, I'm just curious

[white relic]

so how much are the community unlock goals gonna cost

oh i dont have to end yet

[glad anchor]

Tier 4 is at 35%. My guess is it will pick up more toward the weekend and we'll probably see the last 2 tiers unlocked by this time next week

[ashen shore]

35% already not bad tbh
It just ended lastnight
Has a chance to be 50%in a day

Don't get fear mongered into thinking the expi won't finish lol

[glad anchor]

Expedition will finish, regardless of the community objectives completing 😂, but there's a whole other month left in this expedition

[ashen shore]

Coolest reward yet tho ill admit

[white relic]

oh i know itll end

just windering about the claiming community goal rewards and the nantie cost fo that

[ashen shore]

Transfering tech is free

[glad anchor]

The blueprints are merged with your main save (if you started from an existing save)

[white relic]

i meant if you end expedition before the goals are reached, doesnt that mean you have ti buy the goal rewards with nanites?

or did i misunderstand

[glad anchor]

Quicksilver, in the case of the Liquidator Minotaur plans

[white relic]

hmm ok

[median harbor]

are there any tips or something on finding an aggressive predator for phase 3? or is it just, look around and be lucky

[valid roost]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@valid roost Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[valid roost]

Oh forgot abt this new thing lol

Spammed too much here was it?

[glad anchor]

There are a couple of locations in the pins

[snow ruin]

If you're doing it for yourself it's just as easy to do it in #bot-spam I think, but since people didn't do that it was decided that the privilege to be able to do it here was revoked.

For Apex Predator there's even some tips to avoid getting locked out of it because of glitching.

[valid roost]

Oh nice

Pros and cons then lol

[lusty slate]

If no one replies, I'll teleport to the starter and screen cap the galaxy map when I get back home. But it'll be about three hours...

[glad anchor]

I'm mostly just curious because if it's deep enough I'll use the glyphs to approximate a position in a new galaxy I just got a taxi to

[median harbor]

thanks

[glad anchor]

I'm hoping it's in the 150k range from the core

[stone void]

Yay I finally finished the expedition!

I definitely need to do it again on a regular save. I need that multitool lol

[snow ruin]

Yes, indeed.
Thankfully it's really quite easy to get through it fast when you know what you want to/need to do

[median harbor]

what resource types are best for the fat of the land?

[lusty slate]

The Sentinel MT can be found outside the expedition, fyi. They're not unique to it.

[glad anchor]

Is that the 900 resources? Any, just don't let your multi tool overhead. I did it with carbon @median harbor

[snow ruin]

I've had luck with trees, or the eggs on the starting planet, in the caves and such

[median harbor]

wait, what??? i thought it was just ore 😭

good to know

[wanton frigate]

If you can find one of the big clusters of oxygen plants on the first planet they're great for it. Just make sure the milestone is selected, as the counter is not aligned to your regular harvest counter.

One final walker in the bag and I'm done! Now to just Do My Part for a week or two till the other arm comes in. Wooohooo

[snow ruin]

I'm almost at the same point. Just 3 big bois to go

[glad anchor]

I killed 3 of the 4 walkers right in a row, just save/reload at the same sentinel pillar. Used the minotaur to take care of the 50 kills needed with it too

[snow ruin]

Yeah, I'll probably try finding that walker base another of the emissaries talked about having made, IIRC

[glad anchor]

There's one in the RDV 5 system, at least, and I've definitely been to one other (both found via the space station teleporter)

[ashen shore]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

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

[ashen shore]

Never forget what they took from us

[scarlet ingot]

What did they take from us?

[glad anchor]

Spamming the !tier command

[ashen shore]

The tier command they just allowed during the omega expo

[scarlet ingot]

slams desk THE AUDACITY!

[ashen shore]

Tbh it was never spammed unless you want to count twice as spam

And people would complain after it only be posted once too so let's not blame it on spam lol

[valid roost]

Question is who did we piss off to have the command removed from here?

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@valid roost Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[valid roost]

Oh ye of little faith

[ashen shore]

I will make a honourary monument to the tier command instead of doing my part

[merry anchor]

Is not being able to equip your liquidator stuff a bug?

[median harbor]

a bug?? kill it!

[granite ridge]

Left arm and legs should be craft able once you collected the rewards - on the exp character

[median harbor]

anyways uh, any tips on finding the alluring specimens

[granite ridge]

Dive underwater, look for red symbols with two white circles within

[merry anchor]

Tryna do it on my main save

[granite ridge]

That's currently broken, the qs vendor thinks you "already collected" on that character, but you didn't.

Probably because it's no phase reward

Should fix itself once you finish the exp, as that character gets deleted in the process

[merry anchor]

Gotcha

Makes sense

[elder yarrow]

interesting, liquidator parts override the hardframe parts for visual appearance, yet it looks like both will coexist on the minotaur

[snow ruin]

More like what you made them

[ashen shore]

Nu uh

[snow ruin]

Simply put, just doing it for yourself should be no worse to just go to #bot-spam to do it

[ashen shore]

If everything was cool for omega and adrift but the people participating in liquidators had a problem who's issue is it I rest my case

[ashen shore]

It was allowed in here on a non spam basis no bot spam needed

I was just joking originally but if you wish to debate it we can haha

[elder yarrow]

yeah, community spammed it a few expeditions back, and it got booted from this channel

[ashen shore]

It was never spammed twice within 10 minutes at most a few times

[elder yarrow]

basically a case of "this is why we can't have anything nice"

it was spammed more than the admins cared for it to be spammed.... so they made an executive decision

be pissed off at the community that lacked sense with it and the admins

[ashen shore]

The dauality of the admins is truly a interesting concept to research haha

[elder yarrow]

is it worth it to get the nautilon up and running this expedition?

[ashen shore]

Not really you get aqua landing gear early

[agile forge]

Do whispering eggs spawn on all planets or only specific planets that list them in the resource list?

[dusty elm]

For Fire in the Hole, are you getting best results with the granades?

[snow ruin]

I think I got it by just using the provided plasma launcher or what it was called and sending a grenade right as the biohorrors spawned from one of those spots

[rancid goblet]

for the Fire in the Hole quest, can i use the granade launcher i have by default at the start right? And i just have to hit 4 creatures with 1 grenade right?

[snow ruin]

I think the stun grenade should work, but you get a damage one from one of the milestones. You can do milestones in any order, really. See pins.

[full pewter]

You still have to have the plasma launcher installed if you want to do it with stun grenades.

I used stun grenades without plasma grenades installed and had to fit it to get the award.

[snow ruin]

That sounds like either a bug with the counter, or simply not hitting enough when you didn't have the plasma grenades installed

I'm not saying it's false, but it shouldn't work that way

[dusty elm]

Fire in the hole, what just worked for me, and I'm not experienced shooting at all, was hitting the whispering eggs with my splatter blaster, then quickly switch to plasma launcher and blast the bio- horrors. Took me about 10 x to get it right. I hope this can help anyone who's having trouble.

[keen rampart]

yo what are the expedition rewards?

[snow ruin]

[vague root]

ngl the chitin set isnt as good as i thought itd be but its nice to have collected i guess

but the liquidator mech stuff was so worth it

even if we dont get all of it yet

[ashen shore]

Mech rewards definitely the main ones

It's been less than 24 hours and phase 4 almost at 40% expect the body armor soon

[elder yarrow]

what's the thinking on the Minotaur weapon systems: Pick 2 of the 3?

[snow ruin]

I don't understand the question

[elder yarrow]

We've got mining laser, canon, and flame thrower, and with the other minotaur mods, there's not enough space to slot everything and it's mods

[elfin hull]

Laser? Aren't those mining beams.

[elder yarrow]

yes

[shrewd onyx]

Not quite: tier 3 was completed on Monday between 20:31 and 20:37 (see #bot-spam message). It's now 23:45 on Tuesday (these times are GMT); so a little over 27 hours.

[snow ruin]

Oh, I guess go with how a lot of people deal with MTs; use the things you like to use and don't have the things you don't like to use taking up space.

[ashen shore]

I only speak american please translate to est pls lol

[elder yarrow]

@ashen shore Go find a world clock and do it yourself

[shrewd onyx]

Subtract 5 hours. Or 4 hours if you mean EDT.

[ashen shore]

I was jk lol

Omega expo was faster but still good progress

[elder yarrow]

Hopefully the chest doesn't have another AI component... I've started to really dislike those ever since the Minotaur decided to pick a fight with the sentinels and proceeded to lose so badly that every single mod needed to be repaired

[snow ruin]

I'm pretty sure it says it does

[shrewd onyx]

Well. That just shows that it's proper AI: takes inputs, produces potentially bad outputs, and doesn't understand anything.

[snow ruin]

Solution; shut down sentinels to begin with

[elder yarrow]

I mean, when I can take the exact same setup and mop the floor with the sentinels... and then it does THAT....

it's like it's its own special flavor of stupid

[vague root]

so i get that the pins explain it but i still dont fully get it, will i get the minotaur rewards for free or not?

and how much do i need to worry about contributing?

[ashen shore]

You will get it for free and you can contribute as much as you want or none at all just don't close the expidition

[past belfry]

Erm, Does anyone have any tips for the sentinel walker mission?
I have been looking for a while for sentinels to get the walkers, but none are spawning?

[opal glade]

can there be a frequently asked questions channel like right above nms-expedition so that we can have some of these repeating questions on an faq?

its not that I don't mind also answering the same questions since I wanted to know at the time, but it would be nice to have a resource to look at first and then ask questions

[opal glade]

you have to really piss the sentinels off at like alert level 5

its not something you can get just by looking around usually

unless you go for a sentinel kill or gather materials from sentinels mission

[latent forum]

Grab a gravitino ball and boom you're at level 3

[past belfry]

That i've done, I'm just not able to find the setinels on the planet i'm on.

[past belfry]

The planet i'm on has those, idk if i'mdoing anything wrong lol\

[opal glade]

look at the top right

do you see that the sentinels have been deactivated?

it might show that if you already deactivated them once

[past belfry]

awwwwwww. :/

I think I did that lmao

[opal glade]

after you kill a walker and all the sentinels at lvl 5 it has 5 blue starts

indicating that this planet is deactivated

[past belfry]

thx I'm so smart...

[opal glade]

go do a different planet or restorepoint load to see if that works

[past belfry]

aight, okay cool.

Just wondering, is beating the entire expedition in 2 days fast???

[opal glade]

........

i did it in one night

.>

[past belfry]

Nice.

[opal glade]

i dunno if its fast but its not thaaaat challenging

its just really annoying to collect the starter matericals

like chromatic metal

[past belfry]

nah, it's pretty eazy, the only thing that I'm having troube with is the sentinal mission.

Fr tho, I love the new bug fights.

they're so fun.

[opal glade]

the blood in the deep milestone was the most annoying

cuz you have to look for the stupid structure underwater

and I didn't wanna pay for a nautalis

[past belfry]

That one wasn't that bad imo, I just flew around, stopped & reapeated until I found it.

[crimson nacelle]

so when will the final milestone be done by the community if it stays at this rate?

[shrewd onyx]

Probably Saturday afternoon (GMT).

[ashen shore]

Wtf is a GMT

[compact crypt]

Greenwich Meridian Time?

[ashen shore]

That don't sound very american can you repeat that into my multi.. I mean microphone?

[compact crypt]

<t:1723291200:F>

assuming afternoon is 12:00pm UTC

[opal glade]

hey .... can we do anything about that huge abyssyl horror in the sky in the begining of the expedition?

[low jackal]

nah

can't really hurt it

[opal glade]

😦

i .... really don't like the idea of a giant grub in space

need to kill it with fire

[teal cove]

Can we start the autophage quest on expedition characters and if so what were the pre requisite besides just having a settlement I am having a hard time finding what I’m missing

[candid hare]

Wait we already beat the previous milestones?

[ashen shore]

Yeah boi

[candid hare]

Last week we were barely halfway in milestone 1 wtf???

[sleek siren]

The ODS server was down most of the time too

[dusky oracle]

hi

how do I add icon next to your name?

[elder yarrow]

two walkers down.... two to go. so glad i sent in the tech for the minotaur

is there any way to feed cronus a bunch of stuff?

[sacred mirage]

finish an expedition and go to #roles

[dusky oracle]

gotcha, I completed all exped but not ending it yet, still doing optional missions

I can still get the icon right?

ah I got it, thanks

[keen flint]

liquidation process is community right?

[sleek siren]

Correct

[keen flint]

do rewards auto claim once the expedition is over or do you have to claim them from the anomaly

[sleek siren]

which rewards?

[keen flint]

the mech bits

[sleek siren]

they will be available for claiming straight from the QS shop for anyone. Expedition or not.
If you want them free, then it may be worth staying on the exp

[keen flint]

oh sick thx

[cobalt pagoda]

plz Where can i find this expedition over 12 apex predatorrr

[low jackal]

pins

I told you

[cobalt pagoda]

Where?

u mean i Search it? Idk much about discord

[indigo falcon]

check the pins in this channel, specifically #nms-expedition message

[cobalt pagoda]

Oh thaaanks

[low jackal]

no, look for a pin icon in this channel

somewhere on the upper right corner

📌

[indigo falcon]

in discord, various channels usually have certain messages 'pinned' such that you can easily get to them at all times, these often have to do with the purpose of the channel or wth important information relating to the channel's content. in the current case, there are some messages about the Liquidators expedition that are useful to newcomers.

[cobalt pagoda]

Yes tysmm its my first time knowing this

[keen flint]

i alrterady asked, but can i take my s class multitool from my exp save to my main save?
