[ashen shore]

Interesting wonder if it'll retroactively affect hardframe

[molten rune]

7% to go guys, i hope we can do it today

[ashen shore]

It will
Probably by dinner

Progress already slowing though rip phase 5

[molten rune]

I think phase 5 would be done in like a week

With this progress

[fickle night]

will we be able to move our expedition's minotaur to main save?

[ashen shore]

The parts yeah

Package them up and put em in the tech slots if you wanna

[fickle night]

Heumm... is the minotaur tech parts more valuable to move to main save..? 🤔

[south salmon]

Very

Why would you wanna work for what you can get free?

[fickle night]

I'd really like to bring all of the S techs, but sadly there're only 8 slots :")

I don't know which to prioritize for those 8 slots

[south salmon]

I made sure what I was bringing isn't on there standard

Or wasn't easy to build

[fickle night]

Ooh that's a really nice way

[ashen shore]

Bring back anything water related
Rumor has it it'll be a big part of the next update

Nothing confirmed but just my advice

[fickle night]

Okii thankyou very muchh

[ashen shore]

No worries bud

[ruby hollow]

93% almost there! One more push guys

[fringe agate]

I'm going to do my part!

In a bit

[ruby hollow]

The bugs wait for no man

[dusty elm]

If I don't finish the expedition, can I still come back here and shoot (target practice lol ) the creatures featured in this expedition ( deep-ses Monstrosities, sentinel walkers, etc. ) I'm actually learnng how to shoot better and it's fun!!

[south salmon]

[fringe agate]

[dusty elm]

🤣

[south salmon]

I swear this expedition is a spin on it

[ruby hollow]

Both are spinoffs of starship troopers

[faint mesa]

Just saw it. That's awesome!

[indigo falcon]

94% done. could even complete before bedtime...

[faint mesa]

Oh. This tier went fast.

(Tear! lmao).

Wonder how many days to complete tier 5...

[indigo falcon]

bet it will be done before Sept 2 😛

[faint mesa]

I'll bet done by tuesday 😆

[indigo falcon]

could be!

[dusty elm]

Hydrothermal fuel cells: Can I get these any where in this expedition? Or a bp?

[lusty slate]

Anomaly

Might even be done by Sunday, if traffic picks up on the weekend...

[snow ruin]

31

[keen orbit]

So I only have game file cause I just got the game not too long ago what would happen if u were to finish the expedition?

[rocky kernel]

At the current rate it's about 1% to sometimes 2%, depending on the time of day, per hour. So around 5-6 more hours if at the same rate.

[indigo falcon]

I don't quite understand the question

[orchid mason]

Hey, so i completed this expedition simialarly to others ive seen (bit too quick) and am wondering if there is a way to experience earlier expeditions? i know you can on PC through file editing but is there a way to do it on xbox?

[indigo falcon]

not to my knowledge. but they usually rerun the expeditions for the year at the endof the year, on a compressed schedule

[keen orbit]

So I have a save but in expedition only

[indigo falcon]

ok, well, when you complete the expedition and all the optional milestones are done, you'll be able to end the expedition and it will convert to a regular save

[orchid mason]

my bad if this is an incorrect channel for that

[indigo falcon]

not at all, it's fine

[keen orbit]

Will I keep the stuff I earned or like a fresh reset

[indigo falcon]

you keep everything. all achievements, words learned, items in storage, the works

[keen orbit]

Oh ok thanks

[indigo falcon]

if you start an expedition from an existing save, then there's a whole set of restrictions. that's totally different though

[keen orbit]

Ok thank you so much

@indigo falcon last question sorry to bother but what’s the ideal ship and multi tool and exo suit upgrades to use

[indigo falcon]

well the multitool you get in the game is nice, you will get upgrades for it to bring it to S class along with many good weapons and upgrades

the ship now, you get a crappy hauler

[rocky kernel]

Oh so bad. LOL Drives like a boat.

[indigo falcon]

so I would advise to get an interceptor once you stumble across a dissonant system

but also if you do that, stock up on pugneum asap, so you are never without launch fuel

(and get the autocharger just as a failsafe)

[rocky kernel]

There also is a plus if you can find a sentinel one with the red laser to upgrade instead of the one you get. But not a huge deal if you're not like me trying to min/max. 😂

[indigo falcon]

honestly I got the sentinel rifle-looking one and it was just fine

you absolutely can get through the entire expedition with just the hauler (but add the autocharger for launcher, plus an s hyperdrive upgrade from some intermediate system, there's none at the drop zone space stations)

it's just dreadfully unpleasant to do so. I know, I did it 😛

[rocky kernel]

Yeah, I ended up with the same looking rifle one in a harmonic camp. I also am doing this as a main save so if you're just doing the expedition on a regular save then not a huge deal.

And I've seen Jason Plays do it with the default stuff you get in 67 minutes, don't recommend that fast as he got lucky but was fun to watch.

[indigo falcon]

we're not speed running here, hopefully you're in it to have a good time

[keen orbit]

My ship is stuck without fuel I have no teleporter I cannot leave this planet

[rocky kernel]

For sure, that's what I meant to say.

[keen orbit]

My luck is bad

[indigo falcon]

ok so: regular ship, takes regular launch fuel right?

[keen orbit]

Yeah

But I cannot get near it

It’s stuck on some plant thing that cannot be cut down

[indigo falcon]

so look around for dihydrogen and ferrite dust first of all

[keen orbit]

Ok

[indigo falcon]

if you stand at the base of the plant you might be able to fuel the launch thrusters once you make the fuel

then walk away, summon the ship

then get in it and leave

[keen orbit]

Ok

[indigo falcon]

failing that you might be able to collect some silicate powder for the terrain manipulator and build up some earth to get you closer to the ship's height. we got some possibilities here.

[rocky kernel]

Or if you have friends playing they could join you and give you fuel.

[indigo falcon]

still gotta get the fuel into the ship, we want to make sure that's possible

[rocky kernel]

Ah, missed it was stuck on a plant. Can't jetpack up on top of it?

[indigo falcon]

apparently out of reach but we'll try a few things first

[rocky kernel]

Interesting, not had this happen to me... yet. LOL

I got "stuck" trying to land in the anomly once when things were super busy in multiplayer. That was scary. LOL

[indigo falcon]

heck even build a base computer, collect carbon, build a pile of stairs and floors going back and forth and up, that might waste some resources but get the player close enough to the ship to refuel it

[rocky kernel]

It never landed and I had to reload.

[indigo falcon]

after that, good to go

oh well the anomaly, that's just a train wreck

[orchid mason]

Oh neat, so ill be able to do this years ones but not further back?

[indigo falcon]

if they do what they usually do, yeah

[orchid mason]

I might build a PC just to try some older expeditions cause they look really good, i just wasn't very good with time to play

any personal favourite expedition?

[rocky kernel]

I got curious and thought this was interesting, this is the rate of progress for the 4/5 tier. Around 1.33% per hour. The times around when it's at a lower rate are around midnight pacific. Left is % bottom is each hour, couldn't find data on precisely each hour but seems close enough.

[indigo falcon]

well they all have a different twist, it depends what sort of things you like to do in the game, and what you've not tried yet too

lemme ask some questions, @orchid mason do you prefer: exploring? base building? combat? roguelites? jump scares? other? 😄

[shrewd onyx]

95% or “4 2%”. Which one to believe…

[indigo falcon]

95%. be done in a few hours

[wraith badge]

once T4 is done, if T5 is not at 46% or higher then there's something very, very iffy going on ... took a pic yesterday with T5 at 46%

[atomic estuary]

[rocky kernel]

Ah, thanks for the edit, was about to delete my image just in case. LOL

Ok, just now noticed this, chuckled and love that the icons you have are red sentinel eyes. So where's our paradise planet to escape mods? ;P

Seriously, how we doin?

Oh damn

[keen zephyr]

97% LIQUIDATORS, WE CAN DO THIS!

[iron cedar]

I had this very issue and the plant was too tall to be in range of the ship. I ended building up the ground in a very awkward set of steps which I kept falling off of 😅

[karmic valve]

how many itemstacks were you allowed to transfer after finishing the expedition?

[ruby hollow]

Please Explain what just happened

[snow ruin]

IIRC 8 tech, 24 cargo

[karmic valve]

thx

[shrewd onyx]

Launched into near-orbit by a monstrosity, I think. (Looks like one visible just before the flying lesson.)

[ruby hollow]

🙂

Maybe it should give skydiving lessons

[wraith junco]

97-99% i did my part for today

[lethal mirage]

i've done all i can today

[ornate wing]

It's ok peeps. West Coast US getting off work soon

Will finish the mission.

[wanton frigate]

As I look back, we did not do our part... the part did us.... And the bug was me... I shudda never come here, Grandma....

[hazy sparrow]

For Liquidators, what milestone unlocks access to the anomaly?

[wraith junco]

Just need to jump to new system

[ruby hollow]

Now it's time for the real reward

Flamethrower

[mental trout]

So, if I start the expedition when I get home from work (first expedition for me) is it like Elite Dangerous where I'm on same stage as everyone else or am I starting from the beginning? Also, will I be able to earn all of the rewards?

[marble kiln]

Ok so how do you transfer loot to your main save? When I go to the terminal it’s greyed out

[brazen violet]

Can you get the new minoatur parts on your main save atm? I have claimed them in the exp, but I cant seem to find them on my main save

[jagged sedge]

Woot! Final phase goooo!

[jagged sedge]

The QS vendor should have the unlocked ones - I think

[brazen violet]

Yeah I see them in there, but cant get them

[jagged sedge]

Greyed out?

[brazen violet]

Yep

[pallid minnow]

Almost there y'all!!

[jagged sedge]

Perhaps a relog might help?

[brazen violet]

Trying that again now

[jagged sedge]

Yeap, won't be long before we're burning down the villages

I wonder what will power the new attachment

[brazen violet]

So the QS merchant is saying I already own them, but they arent available to build on my exocraft

[pallid minnow]

What imma do is just build them in the expedition and transfer them over from expedition to my main

[brazen violet]

Good idea - just doesnt make sense why you cant build them in your main save now (or at least I cant)

[low jackal]

bug probably

report it

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[brazen violet]

Yeah just reported it

Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

[ashen shore]

It might just be expected you transfer them over

[void cairn]

Maybe it will show up when expedition is over

[full pewter]

It's been reported by a few people now

[lethal mirage]

We're in the final part noww

[finite rover]

just an fyi: a good way to contribute the the optional quests is to do the nexus 400QS quests. a short hit, you get 400QS for stuff you can use in any save and you help the cause. :)

[lusty slate]

Whoo, final stretch!

[opal glade]

flamethrower time

😄

well

soon

its kind of annoying that you can't just have the blueprint

and that its bugged to hell

you do ...only get one minotaur

but its the principle of the thing

[lusty slate]

I'm sure once the flamethrower unlocks and people end the expedition, the error reports on that will explode.

[opal glade]

lolol

[finite rover]

the cannon nukes the critters quite nicely in and of itself :)

[lusty slate]

I imagine not many have gone back to main yet.

[hasty nova]

most likely need to end the expedition before you get access to the rewards on your main save

[lusty slate]

We'll find out in a few days. 🙂

[exotic mica]

I'm disappointed that the Liquidator upgrades for the Minotaur hide your chosen colors

[lusty slate]

There's already a fix in experimental for that.

[exotic mica]

Dope!

[balmy void]

You will comply.

[wide jackal]

so yk how the liquidator stuff costs quiksilver in the shop. If I go do my part and kill some bugs in the expedition will I get them for free?

[ivory drift]

Quick question - if you started expedition from main save/anomaly terminal - when you return and finish and complete/ finalize .. quiksilver, units, and nanites from expedition get brought over to add to main?

Sorry if not right place, figured I'd ask in expedition event , just ban me if not - I accept my fate

[summer kraken]

Dude you're not going to get banned over one mistake like that-

Also yes.

[bright fossil]

I can't neither. Just a theory, but it might be because you have the hardened frame on you Minotaur already. That's my theory anyways, I could be completely wrong though 😂

[summer kraken]

You actually get some extra Nanites from killing monstrosities, so if you bring the Larval Cores from the monstrosities back to your main you can make a lot more Nanites than with just the cores or the expedition's payout alone.
@ivory drift

[bright fossil]

That looks awesome

[ivory drift]

Thank you.

[summer kraken]

No problem my man.

🩷

[faint mesa]

So, what does tier 5 brings?

[summer kraken]

Of the Liquidation Goal?

Allows all players and saves to buy the Minotaur Flamethrower in the Quicksilver shop.

It's a new weapon for the Exocraft, if we somehow don't get to that tier the weapon will probably be forever unobtainable.

[faint mesa]

Ohh, it gives the flamethrower? Nice, nice...

So the minotaur itself is basically complete at this point

[summer kraken]

Unlocks it in the Quicksilver shop.

Still gotta buy it.

[balmy aspen]

Question about the community goal: do you need to participate for each tier to unlock it? Or do you get it regardless, as long as you have participated in a tier at all?

[faint mesa]

Yep, I saw it. Kinda pricey if I recall correctly. Fortunately I haven't been using QS lately, so gathered a nice amount...

[faint mesa]

It will be available for all players

[balmy aspen]

Cheers! I’d react to this if I could, but I have yet to obtain the lofty heights that would allow a mere peon like myself to use emojis here 😉

[faint mesa]

lol! It happens quickly.

[ashen shore]

Understandable

[faint mesa]

Reminder that on experimental you can customize the minotaur's color, which is awesome.

Should come to public branch in a few days

[lusty moon]

Where do I find the most aggressive predator? I’m on pause three so I am not in walking distance to the starter planet

[faint mesa]

Check pins, first message

[fickle night]

Can tranfer Minotaur?

I thought the transferable are only Multitool and Ship

[faint mesa]

Not the minotaur, but perhaps you can transfer packaged tech, if that's how you turn your minotaur into a liquidator minotaur (I assume so, didn't really check)

[fickle night]

Ohhhh

[lusty moon]

lol someone literally renamed a planet with 12.0 APEX PREDATOR in my system

People do stuff so I don’t have to 😄

[faint mesa]

I think it was already there, but when ODS is down planets may show their vanilla names

[lusty moon]

What a great community

Yeah bc people would have to do this, it’s not programmed in game

Like they ACTUALLY had to do everything

The apex predator is actually underground???

How is it even an apex predator if it doesn’t predate anything

[sacred mirage]

yeah indeed underground i think

[lusty moon]

Well I found a cave luckily

Definitely should be down here

Weird spot tbh for an apex predator too scared to be on land

[sacred mirage]

Emm I wait for it to appear for some time but nothing

So I just left for another planet near drop zone 5 and scanned the predator in the sea

[lusty moon]

The predators I have seen are toxic plants in the cave

This feels like an absolute lie at this point

[hasty nova]

I came to the same conclusion. I went to the small ice planet in the same system and found my apex

above ground and rather quick to find for me

[lusty moon]

Yep did the same

Now my issue is finding the whispering egg

Probably on a dead planet, but idk if barren qualifies

[hasty nova]

whispering egg is at any abandoned building...the eggs appear outside

[lusty moon]

But they are hard to find

Whispering eggs are everywhere on dead planets

I’ll just warp to my next checkpoint and look at every system

[sacred mirage]

Emm drop zone systems don't seem to contain dead planets

perhaps go a little away from the ruote?

[lusty moon]

Yea

Or just stop at the systems that are on the way

Because the bucket I am flying cannot warp that far anyways

[ruby hollow]

What did you do

[keen orbit]

@ruby hollow Nothing lol was flying and got stuck

[sleek siren]

no you literally crashed that ship i can see it

[balmy aspen]

If you unlock an exocraft and get a scanner module, you can search for abandoned buildings on the quick menu scanner. I think the roamer can do this, and maybe the mech, too

Abandoned buildings will usually have the whispering eggs and slimed terminals, etc

[green creek]

How can I take all the resources that I transferred from the normal game to exp 14 to my normal game?

[fickle night]

https://youtu.be/VEKDGhdWz-Y?si=zib1E_qO7GaFTnN4

Oh the media not shown

I never complete expedition before, but that youtube was what i found on how to do it

[green creek]

Thxx

Thx

[fickle night]

No problem

https://youtu.be/NAjeKxYu4GM?si=88rjBnied7NB-P5P there's also this, "what to do and what not to do" in expedition console

[indigo falcon]

ok, someone managed to build a base right next to mine, literallty right in it, and remove a bunch of my stuff ,(I don't even have base settings in my options, to disable that), not at all cool. even reporting their base didn't restore my missing base parts. no point in re-uploading my base, I'd have to rebuild it. really ticked off

so much for a base fo rothe rplayers

[ruby hollow]

That should be impossible

[indigo falcon]

well apparently it isn't

[ruby hollow]

That’s something you should take up with the mods

It’s weird for it to glitch like that

Sorry you had that happen to you

[indigo falcon]

me too.I've been faithfully uploading this base so it would be visible to others. whatever

taking it out of the rotation

someone must have done base extension to build into mine but honestly what was the purpose of that

[ashen shore]

The cockpit from the new mech is sicj

Sick

[ionic bramble]

I noticed you can claim previous expedition rewards during an expedition. But, I can only claim about half of them... only the last few.

anyone know what the limits on that are?

does it depend what I've claimed on the primary save at the time the expedition started?

[ruby hollow]

I don’t think so

It’s overpowered sometimes

[ionic bramble]

maybe I grabbed half of them at the beginning and just forgot...

[indigo falcon]

you should be able to get any of them I would think

[ruby hollow]

If you did omega you can get a starborn runner every time

[ionic bramble]

okay, the ones that are already claimed are the appearance modifiers, and the ones from this expedition

so, it looks like everything else is claimable

[ruby hollow]

Makes sense

[ionic bramble]

nice! just thinking of rolling out a few more units and nanites before turning in (and continuing to participate in 5, of course)

[indigo falcon]

sounds like a pln

[ionic bramble]

how do you get the Liquidators role? o.O I didn't know we had expedition roles

[indigo falcon]

it's self-assign, I think in the #roles channel

[ruby hollow]

Yep

You react with the roles you want

[indigo falcon]

welp I figured out the base issue, and it's my issue, not theirs, but still a problem. this was a base I did not upload regularly (I have two pillar bsaes on different worlds in drop zone systems, and two bases on the aggro sentinel world as well, so I mixed them up)... so they could build there because I hadn't uploaded. and we tell players 'don't upload your base on an expedition if you haven't designed it to help other players' but if this is the side effect, welp

anyways

on to tier 5 shall we

[ashen shore]

Next expi I'm gunna upload a base and it's just gunns be a box lol

[wraith dew]

Just completed the expedition. I still plan on grinding some critters to help with milestone 5. Should I wait until the Optional milestone 5 is complete before I End Expedition to transfer my goods?

[indigo falcon]

if you like, it's all about what you enjoy.

[crimson trail]

We did it! Another tier bites the dust

❤️

[knotty marsh]

Ok, final push then, looks like we're gonna have the fully upgraded Mino till the end of the week

[indigo falcon]

end of the weekend or arly next week seems quite possible

[knotty marsh]

i would say this week, if the tempo won't drop, and it shouldn't since more people will have the time to play during the weekend

[craggy echo]

Why can’t I claim tier 4 awards?

[knotty marsh]

have you been able to claim the previous ones?

[craggy echo]

Yea

[split cosmos]

Why does the game say you can search for water planets when you totally cannot?

[crimson trail]

You can, when exploring the universe systems tagged with /water will have waterplanets in them

[craggy echo]

Can’t claim phase 4 rewards. And I’ve been more than doing my part.

[split cosmos]

Is that right? Well, just now have dropped into two solar systems marked /water and they have nothing but desolate Tatooine planets

[pallid minnow]

You should be able to transfer any storable technologies

[crimson trail]

That is strange. Such systems should have at least 1 planet (or moon) with water

[knotty marsh]

tired to reload?

[devout echo]

I accidentally completed the expedition without completing optional phase five.

I can still buy that liquidator piece with Quicksilver, right ?

[split cosmos]

It would be nice if they'd stop calling it all these stupid names. Just say "ice planet" or "desert" planet. I don't need "Hyperborean" planet. What does that even mean? Who even uses that word ever?

[craggy echo]

Ok will try

[wintry void]

Once you learn to distinguish planet type by the main plant eg, star bulb etc, you don't take much notice of the Hyperborean planet line.

[ashen shore]

I got a lawn chair and a nice drink, now I wait for the flamethrower arm

[indigo falcon]

lol

[ashen shore]

6 percent already isn't terrible, if we suddenly lose progress around 30 percent or so Sean rigged it

[knotty marsh]

it's always rigged from the start 🤣

just kidding

or am i? 😎

[ashen shore]

Omega suddenly stopped around 50% phase 5 after super fast progress throughout all 4 tiers, I have my suspicions

[indigo falcon]

there's another reason for that

in the current expedition, you ca nkill things forever. in that one, there were only so many items available to scan on the target planet

player does those? that's it. they can't contribute more

[meager scroll]

Remember how during Singularity servers went down so people could push the progress bar by uploading echoes

Then HG made an experimental build where they allowed player to upload ten echoes as once

But before that rolled into public, the playerbase completed the goal without this clutch right after servers went back up?

The player base can do amazing things

[indigo falcon]

I don't even remember that and I played it

[meager scroll]

Only if HG could do something other than artificially restricting progress in expedition without blocking regular QS progression at the same time

[indigo falcon]

yeah that's the thing, while we wait there are no regular community qs items

[split cosmos]

Where are people getting these crazy robotic looking ships?

there's a dissonant planet in the drop zone 4 system, but you might find one earlier along the route, as I did

[lethal mirage]

Wait a sec pillars spawn on dissonant worlds?

[indigo falcon]

yes they do, and I have one marked out on the dissonant world I found, just for funsies

you don't need it but it can be entertaining

[ashen shore]

Alright time to start this expedition

[indigo falcon]

woo hoo!

[ashen shore]

How hard is it?

[indigo falcon]

what sort of things do you find hard in the game?

[ashen shore]

Last expedition was pure rng

[indigo falcon]

ah. mm teh apex predator milestone has given some people problems, but suitable planets/creatures are in the pins.

the alluring specimens one has also been a source of trouble for some players, but the oceans on the starter plaent work well enough

besides that, it's mostly shoot things

lots and lots of things

[ashen shore]

I can handle that

[indigo falcon]

then you should be good to go

[ashen shore]

Last expedition i had to restart a couple times because i couldn't find copper (or was it cobalt?) one of the important materials for repairing things.

[indigo falcon]

you shouldn't run into anything like that on this run

to stave off questions about this right away: the optional goals are community ones, like when quicksilver items get unlocked, you contribute some but you won't see progress from your contributions alone

[ashen shore]

Ah ok

[indigo falcon]

also, lots of useful pins in this channel about the expedition if you do get stuck on something.

[ashen shore]

So its like the community goals won't finish right away? Always seems like they're on a timer.

[indigo falcon]

they do not finish right away unless they've already been unlocked (tiers 1-4 are complete, as soon as you qualify)

tier 5 will take a few days, max a week I guess

[ashen shore]

Oof, one thing I'm never prepared for is that bright ass "initialize expedition"

[hollow ginkgo]

Hey y'all,

I'm real fucking awkward.

I have a simple base built around a portal on an airless planet with frenzied sentinels and lots of whispering eggs. I thought it might be nice for anyone looking for a hot spot to clear missions, or just be able to jump into clearing bugs and bots for the democracy.

0248:007D:03EB:003F

I don't know if either of those are the right way to post a portal address

[indigo falcon]

we don't get glyphs during the expedition, so that probably won't be so useful; the other problem is that generally, player bases too close to portals don't show up. it's a great thought though

[hollow ginkgo]

well, shit

haha

[indigo falcon]

your best shot is to build on an airless planet in a drop zone system away from a portal, upload it daily, hope it is visible to other players and not dropped out of the visiblity list (there's a limit as to how many bases any player will see in a system)

[hollow ginkgo]

Thank you, might give that go!

[balmy aspen]

Why is airless important? So you can see it from orbit?

[indigo falcon]

both of the low grav planets in drop zone systems are with attentive sentinels so one can at least pick a fight

[indigo falcon]

these have whispering eggs on the surface all over, and low grav so you can easily jetpack away

(and shoot from the air)

[balmy aspen]

Oh wow, that would be awesome for nanite farming

[indigo falcon]

I feel like harvesting salvaged glass from sentinels might be quicker (keep to wave 2, shoot drones, leave the summoner, run away when bored)....

[balmy aspen]

Hmmm, so if you leave the summoner, the sentinels will spawn indefinitely without escalating? I tend to prioritise the healer drones and the summoner, less annoying that way

[indigo falcon]

it should. sometimes it glitches

[balmy aspen]

I'll try it next time

I hate the quad, the laser always gets me unless I LOS it or throw up a shield

[indigo falcon]

yeah the quads are just irritating for their ability to glitch below buildings and even your base, and then shoot you

needs to be fixed

[balmy aspen]

I used to summon my mech to help, but he'd often get seriously damaged and I need storm crystals to fix him

[indigo falcon]

or repair kits, just buy them. but I don't rely on the mech at all

[balmy aspen]

Ah okay

I liked the mech during the expedition, he seemed tougher against sentinels than in my normal save. Maybe the expedition one has better tech (I've got the Settlers upgrades on my normal save)

[indigo falcon]

the upgrades should be the same old ones, unless you've installed the liquidator tech already

[balmy aspen]

No, not yet, waiting for the community unlocks, can't seem to equip the first piece I got (seems to be a common issue)

[indigo falcon]

yep a known bug (but feel free to report it)

!hg

Cheers, might try it again and see what happens

[indigo falcon]

good luck!

[craggy echo]

Do dead planets have any water?

[split cosmos]

no

They're desolate.

[indigo falcon]

if you want water for alluring specimens: starter planet

[split cosmos]

Yup, that's what I did

HG needs to work on better quality of life features tho. I still can't look at a planet and scan if it has water. Why?! It would be such a time saver.

[indigo falcon]

you can tell by visual inspection on the discovery tab for the planets. they got that part right

you cna tell when looking at them from space too, if there's not a storm in progress

[dusky oracle]

question: I just got a ship in exped area, but when I tried to copy in nexus, it wont let me

[indigo falcon]

warp once, then you're able to.

[dusky oracle]

oh warp to any base ?

[indigo falcon]

no. warp as in hyperdrive warp

[dusky oracle]

oh to other system

[indigo falcon]

yep. anomaly is only available after first warp in an expedition

(or any save)

[dusky oracle]

gotcha, thanks

bummer cant warp, I got this ship from outlaw system...how do I ?

just warp using my other ship and change to that after?

[indigo falcon]

no hyperdrive? really?

[dusky oracle]

hyperdrive: yes its a solar ship, but galaxy map not allowed

[indigo falcon]

oh. yeah you likely need to repair the hyperdrive in the first ship

how do you have a second ship already available to you?

[dusky oracle]

I purchased it from black market

but im still in exped area

[indigo falcon]

ok back up...

what expedition phases have you done?

[dusky oracle]

completed all, except 1 optional, phase 5

[indigo falcon]

ok. so this isn't a new run on a different save, gotcha.

[dusky oracle]

ya

so I cant?

I can sell it if I cannot

[indigo falcon]

is the hyperdrive in the new ship charged?

[dusky oracle]

yes

but galaxy map is prohibited

[indigo falcon]

if you use the regular ship, can you access the galaxy map in that?

[dusky oracle]

cannot open galaxy map when Im flying on this shio

regular ship yes can open galaxy map, let me confirm

[indigo falcon]

yes please, testing in the same system from the same position is helpful

[dusky oracle]

still cannot copy my new ship...warp to 2 systems, but not working

should I save and reload?

[indigo falcon]

yes I would, and turn off multiplayer if it's on first

[dusky oracle]

Gotcha ill give it a try thanks

[ashen shore]

Everyone do your part faster rhe gek overlords demands it

[dusky oracle]

is it better reload autosave or reload restore point?

nvm

nope...didnt work...

[languid spoke]

do you have free ship slots?

[dusky oracle]

I have my first ship in expedition that the slots are full if that what you mean

Should I free the slots first?

[languid spoke]

do you want to copy your ship from exp to main or from main to exp?

[dusky oracle]

From expedition to main

I can’t?

[languid spoke]

the ship you want to copy has no hyperdrive?

[dusky oracle]

It has

[languid spoke]

do you have enough nanites on the main to buy it theoretically?

copying takes nanites to do

[dusky oracle]

Hmmm less than what I have in expedition

[languid spoke]

do you have like 3000?

[dusky oracle]

I forgot I lm almost ready for bed so not in front of my pc anymore

[languid spoke]

once you are back, check if the anomaly you are in a yellow sun system

*the anomaly is in

and that you have enough nanites to caop a ship to main

*copy

[lusty moon]

How do I get four enemies to be perfectly close enough to take damsge from one grenade?

Sentinel drones wouldn’t stop spacing out, biological horrors tend to surround you instead of chase you

[granite ridge]

Horrors spawn in packs when you pick up shoot a whispering egg, that's one way

[indigo falcon]

go to any building (abandoned is best though), look towards save point, wait for biohorrors to spawn, spam the plasma launcher; for abandoned buildings you could get on roof, shoot one egg, spam that spot as biohorrors spawn in

[lusty moon]

I’ll try that

[indigo falcon]

I know of one person that dropped a creature pellet, waited for 4 creatures to gather, then hit them, that was a couple hotfixes ago and don't know if it still works

you do need to spam the spot, the first grenade might not get it

(whatever method you use)

[lusty moon]

So even friendly creatures would work?

[indigo falcon]

they did.

[lusty moon]

Even though description says “enemies”

[dusky oracle]

So you’re saying anomaly in main save or exped area?

[languid spoke]

main save

[dusky oracle]

Oh ok ill check tomorrow

Thanks

[languid spoke]

so the ship you want to copy can actually be there

[dusky oracle]

Oh ok so how do you check system has yellow sun ?

[indigo falcon]

go to discovery tab, look at the entry you're on in the left coloumn, it should have a circle the color of the sun

usually yellow

[dusky oracle]

Oh ok thanks

But before I go to main save, the last ship that I used should be shown on main save?

[soft edge]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@soft edge Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[indigo falcon]

can you btw post a screenshot of the error you get when trying to use the galaxy map for the new ship, and also a sreenshot of the ship tech inv just out of curiosity? maybe we can figure out something from that

also @Purp we're at around 6%, 😛

[lusty moon]

Well killing animals was very easy, getting that grenade mission

[indigo falcon]

oh so it still works! ok then

poor things

[lusty moon]

Surprisingly the misinformation is the biggest time waster

That’s a big itself

[indigo falcon]

I rather think it's a buglet and not intended

[lusty moon]

Bug

[dusky oracle]

I was in outlaw system and the ship i purchased from black market can’t show the galaxy map so I switched to the other ship and galaxy map worked

[granite ridge]

Yes, you can copy the active exp mt/ship to primary for nanites

[dusky oracle]

Ok thx

[indigo falcon]

yeah I was just wanting the info for the badly behaved ship, in hopes we can figure out exactly what's wrong

[dusky oracle]

Then I jumped to other systems and the new ship galaxy map worked after I jumped to next system

[indigo falcon]

oh it all works now? huh ok good to know

[dusky oracle]

Oh ok the only thing that i saw after I purchased that ship the message appeared on my screen to contact galaxy authority

[indigo falcon]

what does that even mean... weird

[dusky oracle]

Yeah I feel relieved lol

[dusky oracle]

No idea, because I bought from outlaw system?

[indigo falcon]

shouldn't be. I've gotten solar ships from pirate systems before and never had a problem

unless something changed in an update later

[dusky oracle]

Oh I really have no idea then

[indigo falcon]

all's well that ends well

[dusky oracle]

Yeah lol

[manic falcon]

Does anyone know when the devs are gonna let you do past expeditions bc I’ve been wanting a starborn runner

[dusky oracle]

Next, hunt for a beautiful interceptor

[indigo falcon]

late nov or early dec they will likely rerun the ones for this year

[dusky oracle]

How do you get exotic spaceship? Is it like rare?

[manic path]

Yes

I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen one

And I have like 112 hours in this game

[dusky oracle]

Oh does exotic spaceship makes an appearance in outlaw trade post too?

[manic path]

I don’t know

I know outlaw normally have solars

[dusky oracle]

I see

[manic path]

So if ya want solars go to outlaw

[sleek siren]

only one exotic ship design on each system. they are indeed a rare spawn.
Sometimes may be best to hunt at trade outposts or archives, but usually it requires quite a bit of hunting, or a bit of luck

[manic path]

I’ve never hunted for one

[languid spoke]

or lots of time, make sure to have plenty of units in order to be able to buy it

[indigo falcon]

you really need to just sit at a trading post or space station and listen to the landing sound, I assume the exotics still have a different sound wen they land, they used to at any rate

when you hear that, look up from whatever you were doing irl, run over to the ship, check it out

[wraith badge]

Yep they still sound different

I feel robbed.

[indigo falcon]

why?

[wraith badge]

T5 7% yet the other day it was at 46%

[indigo falcon]

it will be back up there soon; as players come on line after tier 4 has completed, the kills they did that count towards the total will be registered

they can't officially count any kills for progress on the tier until the previous one is completed

[languid spoke]

and since the weekend is starting i assume more people will be playing than throughout the week

[ashen shore]

You'd think but not always phase 4 completed faster than phase 3 which was over a weekend

[river vale]

how i can find a 12 pav predator ??

[indigo falcon]

check the pins in this channel for some critters and locations.

[river vale]

Thanks

[wraith badge]

I wish you could get more than 5 missions a day on the Freighter, you can have 10 command rooms so why not 10 missions ?

[indigo falcon]

you can have 6 or 7 missions going at the same time if you have a couple that take more than 24 hours and you go the next day's 5 to send out

but I've never needed more than 7 rooms

[blazing fossil]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@blazing fossil Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[wraith badge]

Yeah I know that ... it's just odd you can have 10 rooms but only 5 missions ... Odd!

[warm quartz]

hi, can the ||grub cocoon|| you get at the end of the expedition lay more eggs?

[indigo falcon]

yes you can breed like any other companion

[warm quartz]

awesome thanks. didnt wanna hatch it immediately if i wouldnt have a chance to modify an offspring

[orchid wharf]

Hey Interlopers - on the topic of the ||grub cocoon||, I read somewhere that you can't move eggs or companions from the expedition back to your main save. If that's so how do I get it back to my main save? Or is it available from the quicksilver vendor?

[warm quartz]

i got it from quicksilver vendor

i was hoping at the end id be able to transfer my otther too bc they look cool but thats ok

[orchid wharf]

Cool thanks

[warm quartz]

yep

hopefully u get a cool one

not sure if they random or not

[orchid wharf]

I've yet to try out breeding companions

[warm quartz]

its fun

i like to make mounts really big and i have a tiny little teddybear sidekick

[fair badge]

Will we be able to craft Liquidator Minotaur parts outside the expedition after we end it?

[warm quartz]

i dotn think you even need to end it just claim from terminal. let me confirm ill just pop down

maybe we do need to end it first

my mistake

[fickle night]

hello, i want to ask smthing about Base, i've noticed that a lot of base are not showing up on my screen, and it also kept failing to download the data of others base aswell from Teleporter, is there any solution?

[jagged sedge]

It just takes some time - if there's a base on a planet you want to visit, making a landing there might help load in more local data

[warm quartz]

but yes you will be able to craft it after the expedition is ended, i would wait to end yours tho until all the community missions are done
\

[fair badge]

Okeh okeh.

Yeah I'll wait, I was just wondering.

[jagged sedge]

This expedition has made me kinda paranoid - even in my normal mode save, I'm just waiting for a bunch of bugs to pop out whenever I interact with anything

Personally, I'd rather get back to exploring

But I'm gonna 'do my part'

[warm quartz]

we almost there arent we?

last part

[orchid wharf]

Yeah phase 4 just ended

[jagged sedge]

Yeap, last part in progress

[warm quartz]

huge

has a reward ever been missed in one of the previous expeditions?

[jagged sedge]

As far as I know, only if players forgot to claim

[warm quartz]

ok but like every community goal has been hit?

[jagged sedge]

I believe so

[warm quartz]

cool

[jagged sedge]

Altho as a Switch version owner, I can only vouch for the ones that have happened since the launch

[fair badge]

Just the right arm missin now.

[jagged sedge]

He looks pretty serious, man

[fickle night]

okeyy thankyouu

[fair badge]

He goes to the gym and stuff, he's got a six pack.

He's very serious.

[warm quartz]

can you recolour this one or is it like the ones from settlements

[fair badge]

Serious Sam.

[jagged sedge]

A six pack of batteries, lol

[fair badge]

You can't, no.

[warm quartz]

damn

[jagged sedge]

NP, good luck and enjoy 🙂

[cerulean olive]

Here we go, for the final part. Not much longer now... hopefully just this weekend and then we've done our part. Final stretch has begun!

[indigo falcon]

there is an option for customization of the color coming in the next hotfix

[fair badge]

Oh, well.

[indigo falcon]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/4511003079822341151/ " Implemented custom colour choice for Liquidator Minotaurs."

[jaunty geyser]

Why I can't get liquidators minotaur skin? I've already claimed it on the main save, but it didn't apeared in minotaur craftable upgrades

[indigo falcon]

which item can't you craft?

[fair badge]

I think we have to end the expedition to access to these but I don't quite know yet.

I can't craft these either, so I just guessed we have to end it to be able to do that.

[jaunty geyser]

Ok then, I was just interested in if it is a bug

[fair badge]

Yeah I don't think it is.

All good.

[indigo falcon]

there is a known bug with respect to certain of these items not appearing in the tech crafting menu back on the main save

it is absolutely a bug, not intended behaviour

[fair badge]

Oh.

Huh.

[indigo falcon]

that's why I asked which items are causing the difficulty

I do encourage any of you that have this issue to report it to hg; more reports means it may be given a higher priority

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[warm quartz]

yeah none of my minotaur items from the expedition are craftable either, i assumed they would show up at the end

[fringe agate]

They should show as soon as they are unlocked. And be craftable in any save once redeemed

Def bug

[fickle night]

does anyone have the manual X Y coordinate for this? 🥹 it's at Kijadiva Prime planet in phase 4 system

[hollow girder]

So my last task for the expedition is to kill some deep sea monsters. I know how to find largely water worlds, but I didn't see any signs of giant monsters when i went hunting. Any tips?

[molten narwhal]

dive into any body of water, destroy some plant matter to spawn those glowing jellyfish

kill that

[orchid wharf]

Nah the jellyfish don't work anymore

[molten narwhal]

oh that was unintended?

[orchid wharf]

Yeah. You need to find these bad boys

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Alluring_Specimen

[molten narwhal]

ye wiki page explains it well enough

can't be too difficult to find since visor highlights it

[indigo falcon]

starter planet oceans have them

[molten narwhal]

guess I lucked out with those jellyfish early on lmao

[orchid wharf]

They can be kinda rare, but if you see one with multiple items on them they can spawn multiple dudes that you have to kill

[indigo falcon]

yeah that was patched out in a hotfix

[cerulean olive]

If you claimed the Minotaur upgrade reward on your exped save first, it won't allow you to claim it on your main save.
Though, if you DIDN'T claim the reward on your exped save yet, you can BUY it from the QS store on your main save and install it. Which is obviously a bug. Once bought on your main save, you can still claim and install the tech on your exped save. 🤔

[fickle night]

eh wait, whatttt

so im not supposed to claim them...? xd

[languid spoke]

i might have them as i went there

[fickle night]

thankyouuuuu 😭

[fickle night]

thankyou very muchhhh

[mortal dagger]

There are some yellow recource markers that you have to destroy in water to summon them

[wanton badge]

anyone knows any close paradise planet in current expedition?

[indigo falcon]

no. I had to travel a fair bit to find one. there may well be one in a nearby system but it's a crap shoot to find these

[wraith badge]

You don't need to wait for the expedition to end ... just claim the parts from the QS Vendor and you can build/apply the parts now in any save

[fair badge]

...Well.
Guess it doesn't work for me-

I'll check again later but I'm pretty sure I can't.

[snow ruin]

Not yellow markers, and not destroy.
They show up as red and as the milestone says to look for: Alluring Specimen.
You harvest them like you harvest the jetpack boost (E on keyboard default)

[wraith badge]

Did you check ALL the QS Vendor options? The parts are not in the Expedition rewards section 😉

[fair badge]

I did, yes.

It says I already have it.

[indigo falcon]

you can usually claim or it says 'already owned'

[snow ruin]

Already owned means it was taken on the expedition.
Nothing to do but wait for HG to fix that bug

[wraith badge]

If it says already owned then simply install the parts in a Tech slot on the Minotaur

[indigo falcon]

the problem is being able to build ir in the tech inv, which seems to be bugged for at least some parts on a pre-existing save used to start expd

[fair badge]

I already told you I can't-

But I'll just check again.

Maybe I missed something or looked wrong.

[wraith badge]

well I've just don'e it on a save and it worked fine ... claiming the bits and installing them

[indigo falcon]

if it's owned by you and not in the tech craftables, it's a bug, please submit a bug report

a number of players have reported this issue

[fickle night]

is it possible to Copy 2 multitool from Expe into Main Save?

[indigo falcon]

it should be.

equip one, switch temporarily to main save, copy mt, switch back, equip the other, switch, copy, switch back

just costs more nanites

[fair badge]

Yeh, should be possible.

Next expedition:

Nanites.

You're a nanite.

[fickle night]

oh, wait, that means i should do the Copy before Ending expedition?

[sacred mirage]

community goal: be sold 1000000 times.

Nanite head.

Nanite-shaped ship.

[snow ruin]

@hg time to increase T5 goal to 400 million XD

[sacred mirage]

Shhh

[snow ruin]

Okay, make it 450 million!

[sacred mirage]

💀

[patent tiger]

more more MOREEEE

make it that big how many planets we have in nms

that will be enough

Not until the game is Men Everywhere In Sky

[indigo falcon]

so how about that expedition everybody

( 😛 )

[fair badge]

...

[indigo falcon]

what do people think about the brood mother as a 'boss'?

[fair badge]

Expedition made these pretty easy.

[sacred mirage]

Hmm it's not so boss with Minotaur and S multitool

[indigo falcon]

I presume everybody was able to dispatch their first one with the whatever class multitool they give you in the beginning, and no minotaur?

[fair badge]

Minotaur makes anything hardly a challenge to be honest.

Walkers, vile brood, all that.

[sacred mirage]

I glitched the first one

[fair badge]

I'm gon glitch you.

[valid roost]

Yh so off topic now that we have the main body of the liquidator mech which do yall prefer out of the liquidator suit and sentinel mech (in terms of appearance)

[indigo falcon]

I haven't tried the new one and I don't usually use the mech tbh

[fair badge]

They're pretty similar except the head, right?

I prefer the Liquidator's body.

I've been usin Minotaur a lot more these days tho.

But I'd say Liquidator.

Hope we'll get to the right arm soon.

[lusty slate]

Looks like we're back to about 1% per hour at the moment...

[fair badge]

I mean that ain't bad, is it.

The week end will probably quicken stuff up.

[lusty slate]

Nah, even at that speed, we'll finish at the end of the weekend.

[fair badge]

So to be fair we'll most likely be done with it at the beginning of next week.

Oh well.

[indigo falcon]

midweek at the latest

[lusty slate]

And yeah, it might pick up on Sat.

[fair badge]

In two weeks it should be done.

Next month.

Normally if you're reading this on December.

We should be done with the community thing.

I think.

[snow ruin]

Unless HG massages the numbers

[lusty slate]

Have they ever actually extended a limit, though? I know they've sped some up.

[patent tiger]

what

[fair badge]

That's me.

[patent tiger]

you created this bug?

[fair badge]

No that's just me.

Hi.

[patent tiger]

no it's not you

[fair badge]

Yes it is.

[patent tiger]

no it's not

[fair badge]

Look it's written.

It's me.

[patent tiger]

thats

very

legit

i see

its really written

[snow ruin]

Put it in #nms-photomode-gallery and quite possibly get it into #the-louvre ?

[patent tiger]

impossible

[fair badge]

Written all right.

It was written all along.

[patent tiger]

ok

[fair badge]

I actually don't know what the heck this is.

[snow ruin]

It's a space station

[fair badge]

Oh it's just glitched out.

Aight fair.

I actually thought it was a big weird pipe outta nowhere in space.

[lethal mirage]

Ive gotten that kind of view from trying to get into the station at a werid angle

[valid roost]

Personally I find the 6 pack to be a bit much

The sentinel one has a bit of charm to it imo

[fair badge]

Eh I don't really mind.

It's a bit goofy but eh.

But the sentinel one's cool too, yeah.

[valid roost]

Fe lol

[fair badge]

I frickin rip them open in 10 seconds with my Minotaur but they're cool.

[valid roost]

Lol

[fickle night]

uh... will i lose the current ship i have if this is the option?

hmm it doesnt say Exchange

[wanton frigate]

Claiming adds it to your menagerie but crucially makes it your current ship - do you know where you parked?

It's always a pain to realise you're trapped on a dead moon with no repair materials and your ship could be 3000u in any direction

[fickle night]

i parked it near the crashed ship

because i want to move all of the old ship inventory into the new ship

[wanton frigate]

Then claim it - get into your old ship to make it your active ship again after.

[fickle night]

thankyouu

[wanton frigate]

there is a limit to how many ships you can own (6 or 12 I think) but if you hit that during the Expedition you're probably not Doing Your Part.

[marble kiln]

lol

So what should I do after I complete all objectives? Besides doing me part ofc. I mean loot wise to bring back. (New to game btw)

[karmic valve]

cant you call your old ship via the call ship option and then choosing "different ship"?

[karmic valve]

my recommendation: build a nanite farm on one of the runaway mold planets, and then farm the salvaged glass to transfer, its a good source of money, technology and nanite

also, if you didnt use all "make XYZ inventory bigger" upgrades, i'd also recommend those

[severe frigate]

Anyone here that would consider themselves a expert when it comes to expeditions ?

[karmic valve]

jokes on you, i just dont look into a mirror in the morning

[wanton frigate]

An intriguing idea - but.... How do you drown out the sound of the bell? SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

in all honesty I still have a huge sense of stinginess when it comes to using launch-fuel, to the point that I think I'd rather die wandering aimlessly around a dead moon wondering if that's the same rock I saw on my way to the crash site than call my ship. I had a rough first run at the game 😄

[karmic valve]

my inner voices do that for me already

me too, thats why i try to get my ships to basically never loose fuel... my current expedition ship uses 7% whis is fueled back after like.. 1-2 mins max

No John tier 5

[dusky oracle]

gotcha, thank you

i finally can create a copy for a ship that I found in exped area to my main

[fickle night]

the nanite from expedition will get transfered to the main save after ending it right?

[ruby hollow]

Yep

You also will get a bunch for hidden things it’s been counting

Throughout the expedition

[ancient ferry]

How i complete tue new optional milestone?

[ruby hollow]

You need to have eliminated 250 enemies

You also can’t get the fifth yet

[indigo falcon]

these optional goals are like community unlocks of quicksilver items, everyone does a little, you can't move the needle all by yourself

once you qualify for the free item (which is after 250 total kills) you can contribute a little every day by killing up to a certain number of sentinels/biohorrors/bugs each day, we think the number is 150

[ancient ferry]

But here it says that we have already reached level 4

[indigo falcon]

tier 4 is complete, we're talking about the tier 5 (and last) item now

[ancient ferry]

If then I talk about the minotaur's head, the achievement does not appear to me as completed.

[shrewd onyx]

I do believe that that's “repugnant progeny” rather than “vile brood”…

[indigo falcon]

what does the tooltip show when you have the phase 4 optional milestone pinned? in the lower right I mean

[ancient ferry]

I cant select the milestone

[indigo falcon]

oh? does it say 'collect reward' or deos it appear to already be collected along with other milestones you have completed?

[ancient ferry]

Wait

[dusty elm]

I completed phase 1-3 of the community part. Does this mean I've definitely hit the 250 kills amount?

[shrewd onyx]

Portrait-mode video. That would really benefit from being landscape-mode… that said, “Purged by Fire: 4” should be showing as completed (“collect reward” or “did your part for the liquidators”).

[indigo falcon]

ok, but you should still be able to select the milestone to pin it

so if you do that, I want to see what the tooltip says in the lower right, after you pin the milestone

and the other thing I will want to know is whether you are connected to ods (check this on the lower left of the discoveries tab)

phase 1-3 done and claimed means you did 150 kills, we don't know if you did 200 yet. but also if you are not connected to ods, that can be an issue as well. this is why I want to check both things.

[shrewd onyx]

Exit the menu, wait for the appropriate hint to show up, check the kill count.

[indigo falcon]

ods connected, I see that.

and yes, you need to just now be out of the menu. stand around in the anomaly if you like. wait for the tooltip.

if it does not come up in about 60 seconds, let's assume you don't have the next 50 kills, in which case I will send you off to do them

[shrewd onyx]

Basically, this, but for part 4

[indigo falcon]

I see it doesn't give you number of kills

go kill 50 things. see if that lets you claim tier 4 item. if so, go kill 50 more and then wait with the rest of us, for the tier 5 item to complete

fast kills: go to a building, stand on the roof and shoot biohorrors

repeat a few times, fly around to find them I guess, probably quickest

[ancient ferry]

Ok see later

[shrewd onyx]

“The Liquidators” isn't the right one for the kill count – you want the one above that in the missions log.

[indigo falcon]

please let us know what happens!

(I'm adding in my head: 16 biohorrors, 32 regular sentinels, 5 waves x 4 for the walkers, plus corrupted ones as well, how that could be less than 200 I don't know but we'll see)

[ashen shore]

I'm doing my part here's your emotional support, I belive in you

[indigo falcon]

I wonder if I can submit a bug report to hg to exclude a specific player from the final liquidator reward 😛

[ashen shore]

So you're saying the medic or mechanic is less valued than the Frontline unit

[indigo falcon]

if you were actually healing people or repairing their gear, I might be sympathetic 😛

[silver vessel]

What is the grand prize for this expedition?

I'm nearly halfway

[indigo falcon]

the rewards for each milestone are pinned in a message in here, you can check 'em all out

[ashen shore]

I'm healing you on a subconscious level with emotional support

[indigo falcon]

the end expd reward isa custom jetpack but most people are more salivating over the optional milestones, of which we've done 4 and one is left, these are all the fancy new mech parts

[fair badge]

Me.

[misty parrot]

I started a new save with the Exp and plan to convert it to a regular long save. I am bored with it though bc i finished the Exp except that last community one. I'm ready to move on with main quests. Iccan I do that then pop back later for the last community reward?

[fair badge]

If you made a new save, I don't really know.

[indigo falcon]

no, not from a new save. but the 5th item oughta be unlocked in a matter of a few days

and anything you do on the save will be kept anyways so go explore, get nanites, etc.

[silver vessel]

I'm trying to whip up the drive to finish this one. The grand prize isn't as big a banger as the iron vulture

[misty parrot]

thanks thats what I was thinking. just tired of bouncing around aimlessly.

[ornate wing]

Yea, I'm on a fresh expendition save. Use the free time to build up your logistics, resources, etc.

[indigo falcon]

yep, all stuff you need even if you're not doing the main story at the moment

[fair badge]

Yeah, as I've seen the previous expeditions were more generous on rewards.

[indigo falcon]

no, the prize at the end isn't all that, it's really about the mech parts, for people who love the mech anyways

[fair badge]

I'd say the main reward for that one is mostly a bug man body.

And yeah, the Liquidator parts.

[misty parrot]

i cant even get portal coords because it cancels out when the brood spawn starts, tried like 10 times

[fair badge]

But you can get a bug buddy too.

[ornate wing]

The mech alone is worth the expendition

I'm honestly shocked they didn't tone down the upgrades. The thing just melts everything.

[fair badge]

Yeah having the Minotaur makes the whole thing pretty easy.

[rough mortar]

I got almost all the parts for the mech now we just need the right arm

[fair badge]

Just jump around and shoot stuff.

[rough mortar]

Yes

[indigo falcon]

well it does take walker brains for all the parts right? so you won't be getting it on your early game save

[fair badge]

You need a walker brain for only the body I think.

Legs need quad legs.

And I don't remember about the left arm.

[indigo falcon]

oh? I didn't check at all. I just assumed, seeing the brainneeded for one item, that the rest need it. maybe I oughta check nmsresources

[ornate wing]

Correct just the body

[west forum]

Are we still waiting of a fix to be ablew to use the new Minotaur parts in our main saves?

[fair badge]

I got that issue too, sent a thingy to HG.

[ornate wing]

I think the main thing is less any of the parts though and the 3+ Cannon upgrades you get.

[fair badge]

Guess we wait for now.

[ornate wing]

Like they should given us maybe like 1 lol

[fair badge]

I copied my multi tool from expedition-

[indigo falcon]

oh a quad servo fro one thing, and the walker brain just for the body. huh

[fair badge]

Yuh.

[indigo falcon]

cheap

[fair badge]

We don't know about the right arm yet but needing a walker brain for an arm wouldn't make much sense so I doubt that'll be it.

Wonder if it'll be a flamethrower like the sentinel minotaur.

[indigo falcon]

we do know about the right arm https://www.nomansskyresources.com/exocraft-blueprints/liquidator-right-arm

[fair badge]

Or another weapon.

Oh.

...

Who in the hell made that frickin site?

Oh it is a flamethrower.

Aight.

[indigo falcon]

says at the bottom who made it

[fair badge]

Craig Mark.

You got a weird style, mate.

Damn, even the right arm's materials are pretty whatever.

That's neat.

[ornate wing]

I named my Mech Steve.

[indigo falcon]

https://app.nmsassistant.com/ this is easier on the eyes but the new items aren't there yet

[thick umbra]

At least in experimental you can get it https://prnt.sc/1A8OUCMVt_FV

[ornate wing]

Oh, do peeps have a recommendation on getting the Glyphs? Since I can't do the main quest yet.

[indigo falcon]

hey you can change the color in experimental too

[indigo falcon]

look for travellers in space stations

[merry anchor]

Flamethrower is... Soon!

[indigo falcon]

I found a grave the other day just exploring around, that works too

[ornate wing]

I have but they are always like "hur dur riddle, here is pity" lol

[indigo falcon]

talk to them a second time.

[ornate wing]

Ah, kk

[merry anchor]

Finish the main quest tbh

[indigo falcon]

they will be in the space stations you found them in, just go back there

[merry anchor]

||Finishing the artemis path gives you all the glyphs afterwards by using your hyperdrive a few times||

[indigo falcon]

eh doesn't hurt to get the glyphs now, a little duplicate effort but who cares, it unlocsk the ability to go visit cool bases or pick up nice ships etc posted with the coords

[ornate wing]

I'm still waiting on 5th reward, and need my damn living ship

[indigo falcon]

yep, do things in the order you want, no worries

[merry anchor]

Mhm

You can unlock the glyphs, but dont really need to unless you want to find a very specific planet (eg, living ship)

[ornate wing]

Yea, I mean it has a path but god knows how long of a trip it is.

I got a 1000ly range explorer ship.

[indigo falcon]

prohibitively long. you are meant to portal there

[merry anchor]

Yep

[fair badge]

Glyphs more like.

...I dunno.

I dunno glyph jokes.

I wanna be an Autophage.
They're chill peeps.

[merry anchor]

I’m ngl the fastest way for me was finishing the Artemis path. Half-decent story

[ornate wing]

Oh for sure, that is my plan if the expendition ends before.

[merry anchor]

I’d recommend doing the same

[fair badge]

I mean the Artemis path is probably the only questline with an actual story.

[ornate wing]

Just need filler. I already have a full frigate fleet, several industrial bases, etc.

[merry anchor]

You can return to your main save

[fair badge]

Maybe look for cool ships or whatever.

[merry anchor]

Without ending the expedition, I mean

[ornate wing]

Current project is making a custom Solar Sale ship.

[merry anchor]

Exocraft technician quests?

[ornate wing]

Before that living ship tell I realized I needed Glyphs lol

[fair badge]

I've actually found a cool loophole with an Autophage quest.

I dunno if that's a quest that I can do for other races.

But I was sent to salvage a wrecked ship's parts and bring back the parts.

[merry anchor]

Guys I think they’re adding aliens to nms

[fair badge]

But the mission ends only when you bring the parts.

And when you scrap the ship you're told to salvage parts of, you're just sent to get another ship.

[ornate wing]

Nice

[fair badge]

So you can just repair ships and take the parts to build a ship as much as you want before ending the mission.

[merry anchor]

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be

[fair badge]

I've been sent to get a solar ship so you can do that.

I was told that solar ships are more frequent in outlaw stations.

I went to an outlaw station, literally no ship came in 10 minutes.

[ornate wing]

Same, all my parts so far have been from a regular Korvax system.

[fair badge]

I was like "aight fuck this" so I just went to some random station and 1 minute after a solar ship comes up.

But yeah I'll try to get some ship parts too.

[ornate wing]

Another goal I been doing why I wait is S classing the Pre-order ship.

[fair badge]

I've been mostly relying on sentinel interceptors so y'know.

Doesn't hurt to do somethin different.

[indigo falcon]

coulda save-reload at the outlaw station (well maybe at a base and then go there), see if you got traffic after that

[fair badge]

Wonder if they'll make sentinel ship parts salvageable.

To build your sentinel ship.

Or perhaps their constitutions are so variable it would be too much of a pain.

[ornate wing]

I don't think they will, Shuttle technically would be next.

IMO

I was actually sad I couldn't make a custom shuttle and call it a "Lada"

[fair badge]

...

Would that really be a sign of quality?

[ornate wing]

Depends how much you like Ladas lol

[indigo falcon]

nothing wrong with a smol shuttle, upgrades to S (of course) and fully kitted out with all the upgrades

[ornate wing]

Yea I want a S class of every ship type, custom built.

[fair badge]

I mean I only use like, one ship anyway.

This thing.

[ornate wing]

I swap out a lot.

Explorer has all the upgrades for max warp range, fighter has 5 weapons, etc.

[indigo falcon]

I usually rely on my exotic on any given save, but I typically have an s of others (fighter, hauler, tiny shuttle, solar)

[fair badge]

The famous liquidator quote.

[indigo falcon]

doesn't show the right arm, but that is on nmsresources

[fair badge]

"Get liquidated."

[thick umbra]

Yeah ,, we still dont have that 🙂

[indigo falcon]

really pretty reasonable costs for building all that stuff.

[ornate wing]

I do look forward to the ending of this ~~war ~~expedition. x

Working on a Settlment without a bug attack every 2 seconds

[fair badge]

||I wonder tho, did the liquidator turn into a brood thing?||

[ornate wing]

|||It's implied 100% yes, you actually hatch a egg from his DNA|||

[indigo falcon]

it does get a little tiring to have biohorrors at absolutely every building (though nice if you're trying to Do Your Part)

[winged trellis]

Just completed the expedition. Can y'all chip in for the community challenge already 😭

[fair badge]

...

Well gee fuck you too.

[winged trellis]

I'm joking. I'm joking.

[fair badge]

Aight-

[indigo falcon]

Are you Doing Your Part?

[fair badge]

Fair enough.

We gotta do our part.

[winged trellis]

250+ kills in

[ornate wing]

Nice

[indigo falcon]

tomorrow, do another 150, and Sunday too

[winged trellis]

FOR DEMOCRACY

wait, wrong game

[fair badge]

||Perhaps all the brood thingies were people back then, then.||

[ornate wing]

Almost to my goal of 5k+ kills for bugs and 2k sentinals before the expendition is over.

[indigo falcon]

(I mean, if you don't find it either too tedious or too obnoxious)

[fair badge]

EDF! EDF!

[winged trellis]

Y'all think we can get 100% of the community chaallenge if we grind 24/7 lol

No sleep for the wicked

[fair badge]

Sounds unhealthy.

But I think there's a limit for one player.

Of kills.

[indigo falcon]

no, there's a cap for how many of your daily kills go to the progress bar

[fair badge]

So playing 24/7 wouldn't be any useful.

[winged trellis]

iiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting...

[fair badge]

But don't worry, we should probably be done after the weekend.

[winged trellis]

didnt mean to reply to THAT message lol

[indigo falcon]

what we really need is a lot more players going through and/or doing the dailies. but honestly we'll likely get done by mid next week at the latest

[fair badge]

Happens.

[indigo falcon]

and this runs until Sept 2

[fair badge]

The weekend will probably get more people to do their part.

[winged trellis]

The best thing is where you're like " yay im done with the expedition time to return to my main save", but you dont have any launch thruster fuel or tritium for your ship to speed up travel or even get you off of the planet surface...

[ornate wing]

If the starter world wasn't cluttered with junk. I would just hang out there and help peeps fix there ships as they spawn in.
