nms-expedition

[fair badge]

Using photo mode in expedition while flying a ship:

"Wh- hey come back, the hell you doing?!"

The starting planet was pretty cool.

But then I saw this.

And I was like "I mean, no".

[ashen shore]

Everyone do your part your country needs you

[fair badge]

So I didn't.

[ornate wing]

Did you try attacking it?

It will actually damage you, it creates some sort of gravity thing.

[fair badge]

No, I know it's invincible.

There's no point in attacking it.

[winged trellis]

Very confused as to what that is doing there. I'm sure reading helped...

[fair badge]

It creeps me out anyway.

[fair badge]

IT DIDN'T.

[ornate wing]

Zero lore on it, just there lol

[indigo falcon]

I know this is the 'shoot all the things' expedition, but not really all the things

[fair badge]

It's just there like "hi I'm space sauron what's up".

And there were many of them.

[ornate wing]

Look I take Vy'keen approach to things. Shoot first, then investigate later.

[fair badge]

Don't shoot the Autophage.

[lusty slate]

I mean, the tiers were designed for six weeks. We're going to finish in half of that, with a limit on daily contributions. Not bad.

[fair badge]

I'll shoot you if you do that.

[winged trellis]

I woulda figured that it would tie into the expedition a bit more -- like do this then kill that thing

[fair badge]

People joinin the expedition next week:

"Oh well, guess I'm takin all that."

[ornate wing]

It could be a suprise thing later on, hence they are letting us finish the secondaries faster.

[winged trellis]

Maybe so

[fair badge]

I don't even remember what my critter's name is.

[ancient ferry]

@indigo falcon Bro is there any way to keep track? I've already committed one genocide.

[fair badge]

"Aerchik-Yok".

The green little brood dude.

[ornate wing]

Check your merc level in your logs.

Both sentinals and bugs kills are tracked there.

[indigo falcon]

check the catalogue tab, select 'milestones' then 'mercenary' after that, you can take note of the sentinel and biohorror numbers and then check them again later,

[ornate wing]

I honestly forgot about him in favor of some other insect I found. I kinda feels bad lol.

[fair badge]

Would've expected the Liquidators to have Dreadnoughts or some crap.

[fair badge]

Oofles.

I mean, can't that thing grow?

Or something?

I dunno much about companions.

[ornate wing]

You can have them lay eggs then genetically modify them at the anomoly to grow and change stats.

[winged trellis]

How do I go about getting the Discord Liquidators tag

[ornate wing]

#roles

[fair badge]

Show you're a part-doer.

[fair badge]

Oh yeah.

[lusty slate]

You self assign it in #roles

[fair badge]

I think I've seen brood creatures only on one planet.

There were the ones with the sort of glowy blades on the face.

[ashen shore]

[fair badge]

Happy Gek.

[lusty slate]

Now, I haven't hatched the egg yet. I know the Liquidators lore explanation for it, but isn't it the same pet we got from Adrift?

[winged trellis]

LIQUIDATORS UNITE

[fair badge]

Iit's a vile brood little guy.

Y'know like the ones that appear when you fight the vile brood queen whatever.

This.

Well that's mine but you get it.

[lusty slate]

Oh, cute

[fair badge]

I know it can be blue as well.

I dunno what other colors there are tho.

[ornate wing]

Mine is purple

[lusty slate]

I'll hatch mime when I get back home and see.

[ashen shore]

There's still good progress so far
Almost 20% in one day
But I got my eye on you sean

[fair badge]

The bug man.

He buggin.

[ashen shore]

The bug heads just look like vykeen cousins on their dad's side lol

[fair badge]

The only thing I'm not a fan of is that the heads look too hunched over.

But eh, they're cool.

I don't mind all that much.

[ancient ferry]

@indigo falcon

[fair badge]

You've destruidossed lotsa centinelas.

[silver vessel]

900 resources in one burst?

[fair badge]

Yeh.
I did that one randomly, it's not so hard.

Just get somewhere with lotsa stuff and shoot around.

[ornate wing]

Most convient way is find Metal Fingers. Other ways is just finding lots of trees.

[fair badge]

Most convenient way is shoot at Sabre.

[shrewd onyx]

Those or “organic” rock

[fair badge]

He gives lotsa stuff.

[silver vessel]

one burst as in dont let go of the trigger?

[fair badge]

Yeh.

[ornate wing]

No, you can let go.

[snow ruin]

Don't let too much time elapse between getting more resources

[fair badge]

...

I knew that.

[ancient ferry]

The more I have to kill

[ornate wing]

The little box showing that you get resources can't go away though.

[ancient ferry]

?

[lusty slate]

Ah, now reading the reward list properly. The grub egg will show up to claim on main through the QS vendor the moment it gets unlocked in the exped storyline. But it's not in the phase rewards. Just like the Singularity helms, gotcha

[ornate wing]

Think of it like a combo streak.

[snow ruin]

I did it on the first planet with the "eggs" on the ground there

[next sparrow]

i've not been a fan of the community task in this expedition, and a lot of people have complained. i finished the expedition 14 days ago, but i've been waiting around 3 days for each community objective to complete... and now i see IT ALL GOT RESET, before i could complete phase 5 for some unknown reason?

the idea that people have 5 weeks to join an expedition is great so people have a chance to do one. BUT expeditions SHOULD NOT take 5 weeks to complete.... please fix the community rewards/progress for the love of god. this is not fun sitting around waiting.

[cobalt pagoda]

No...just lock the mission and it will give u ur progress it will say 0/900 in the bottom right of the screen

So u will now ur progress

[fair badge]

It ain't reset, don't worry.

[next sparrow]

so it's just a glitch?

[fair badge]

Yuh.

[next sparrow]

okay thank god

[fair badge]

We're at the 5th part.

Should be done soon.

[next sparrow]

it looks reset, it says 0%

[fair badge]

Yeah that happens.

[next sparrow]

i hope it's a glitch

[lusty slate]

Either pause the exped and go back to main or do something else? I honestly don't understand the gripe aside from just impatience. It's a six week event.

[cobalt pagoda]

I already fi ished the expedition and got the backpack...there no way to get the community rewards?

[ancient ferry]

I don't know how many more I have to kill please

[fair badge]

You just gotta wait for now.

Till we reach the 5th part.

But you can still claim the other Liquidator parts if you want.

[next sparrow]

if someone has places to be in 6 weeks, wouldn't they just miss out on optional rewards?

[cobalt pagoda]

I want the big armor thing

[ornate wing]

If the save is a fresh expedition save. There is like 100s of things to do in between waiting.

[shrewd onyx]

It is. Play a while, check again; it'll probably be corrected.

[snow ruin]

Do your part every day, 150 kills. Once you've done that you can't help make it go faster yourself.

[fair badge]

The Minotaur parts?
I mean you can get these, we just need to wait till we reach the end of the 5th part to get the right arm.

Which is the last missing part.

Just install the stuff on a Minotaur.

[ancient ferry]

I'm referring to the new optional milestone (4*)

[cobalt pagoda]

The armor is 3000 quicksilver...its expensive

[fair badge]

...The armor?

What are you talking about?

[next sparrow]

side question: are emojis disabled here?

[real frost]

In my downtime I go sentinel ship shopping. You can harvest several from just one echo locator. There are some neat designs out there.

[cobalt pagoda]

Oh i meant the liquidator body plan*

[fair badge]

Y'don't need to buy that, you just claim it like other stuff you claimed.

Like the other rewards from the expedition.

[ancient ferry]

Can someone help me please?

[cobalt pagoda]

So i dont have to pay 3000 auicksilver for it? I just claim it in the expedition?

[fair badge]

Yuh.

[shrewd onyx]

You do need the items to make it, though.

[lusty slate]

You can finish the expedition without the optional rewards done. The Liquidator parts that weren't unlocked when you ended can be purchased for QS afterwards. This was clearly explained when the update was announced

[fair badge]

It's not very hard to make anyway.

[dusky oracle]

so happy with outlaw system, got 3 ships with good deal

[fair badge]

At this point I already had all the stuff to build it.

[cobalt pagoda]

Its my first expedition after a while so sorry if i ask stupid questions lol

[fair badge]

Oh no that's fine, it's my first expedition at all.

[lusty slate]

You only miss out on getting the parts for free, that's all

[ornate wing]

Parts for free IMO is massive for me.

QS is a 100% grind.

[lusty slate]

Same

[ancient ferry]

Can someone help me?

[snow ruin]

Ask about what you're wondering instead of asking whether someone can help you

[next sparrow]

okay thanks for the info

btw i can't emoji react in here for some reason

[ashen shore]

[fair badge]

I need to grind QS to get a void egg.

[lusty slate]

IMO, living ships are just okay

[fair badge]

They're cool.

[dusky oracle]

how to get living ship?

[cobalt pagoda]

I grinded the void egg thing to get a living ship then i learned that i needed to be too fzr in the story to get them...so i never got em at all

[ancient ferry]

I don't get the new optional achievement as completed

[snow ruin]

Read the pins

[lusty slate]

Buy a void egg from for 3200 quicksilver and start the Starbirth quest.

[ornate wing]

Just be me, get a void egg by some vet player in Anomoly, have no idea what it is and sell it 😄

[fair badge]

Starbarf.

[cunning lagoon]

mine is hella bugged

[fair badge]

Oof.
You need glyphs, right?

[dusky oracle]

oh ok dang so much quicksilver, how do I get that much?

[next sparrow]

i saw a video saying not to claim the reward for the void egg right away, because of some update later down the line? is that true?

[lusty slate]

I got my void egg for free with the Leviathan redux, which HG did special for Switch players at the time since we didn't have the Nexus yet.

[fair badge]

Looks like you're playin CSquad in here.

[ancient ferry]

@snow ruin

[tawny ether]

Same here but if you have 3000 quicksilver you can buy from quicksilver robot . Phase 4 is complete but there seems to be an issue

[fair badge]

(I like videogames.)

[cunning lagoon]

btw, is there a good system for corrupted sentinels in dropzone 3 or later?

[snow ruin]

!pins

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

How to Check Pins

To toggle the Pins popout:

• PC: Ctrl + P / Mac: Cmd + P
• 📱Mobile: Tap search icon or channel name (at the top), then Pins (example below).

[quasi sparrow]

how does sending technology back to main save through the expedition terminus work? I forgot how it worked when I started and I'm waiting for phase 5 community milestone to clear before I end my expedition. Am I able to put these stacks in the tech slots or do they need to be unpackaged?

[lusty slate]

Given that HG never announces the context of their updates ahead of time, it's likely just someone's speculation

[fair badge]

I wonder how they generate names.

[next sparrow]

i think they were speculating a bigger version of the pet? not sure

[fair badge]

Cause like there's no character just named random ass stuff like "Carl" or whatever.

[cobalt pagoda]

There is one in the 3rd system u go too but i forgot the name...check some youtube tutoriels they will help a lot

[lusty slate]

...the living ship isn't a pet.

[silver vessel]

How does one lure deep sea monstrosities

[next sparrow]

the void egg i am talking about

er the vile egg*

[fair badge]

I dunno about the suit's upgrades but you can put multi tool upgrades in a multi tool and copy it in your main save.

Same with ships.

[cunning lagoon]

theres nothing on it in pins

[lusty slate]

The void egg from the QS merchant is used to unlock living ships. Not a pet.

[next sparrow]

yeah i just got confused

[quasi sparrow]

I'm trying to keep them intact and sell them for nanites

[snow ruin]

There is a literal part on how Purged by Fire works in the pins

[fair badge]

Go underwater and find the red marked thingies, don't remember their name.
Interact with them and BADABOOM a big fish attacks you.

[ashen shore]

On god never check the pins they know the information they can tell you
Follow me for more bad advice
Remember to subscribe

[fair badge]

Fair enough.
I don't think there's a whole lot of stuff you can bring back from expeditions though.

[next sparrow]

the pins look like a disaster tbh, scrolled them, but it was hard to focus on anything in there

[cunning lagoon]

its not for purged by fire?

[silver vessel]

I'm at a bilogical horror that sucks me in

[fair badge]

Yeah that one doesn't count.

[snow ruin]

What are you talking about then?

[fair badge]

You have to kill the big fishies.

[ashen shore]

Yeah in all seriousness the pins could be better organized it's a info dump as is lol

[snow ruin]

Sounds like you need to kill corrupt sentinels. They are purple.

[cunning lagoon]

YES BUT WHERE ARE THEY

[fair badge]

Go on Dissonant planet.

[snow ruin]

Feel free to organize the info

[cunning lagoon]

IK THAT IM ASKING WHERE ONE IS

[quasi sparrow]

I'm being led to believe that I can send 24 item stacks and 8 tech slots back to main save

[fair badge]

Normally you can find on the galaxy map if a system is dissonant or not.

IT'S ALL WRITTEN JUST READ.

[quasi sparrow]

this is the first expedition I've participated in, so idk

[ashen shore]

I don't do unpaid work I'm not trying to get a knowledge stone next to my name lol

[cunning lagoon]

I DONT HAVE A CONFLICT SCANNER

[fair badge]

Well.
It's my first too so I don't really know to be honest-

[fair badge]

YOU DON'T NEED ONE.

[hasty nova]

STOP YELLING

[cunning lagoon]

the internet told me i do

[fair badge]

Here you have this.

A random system.

[cunning lagoon]

thank you

[fair badge]

It's written "Dissonant".

Means there's a dissonant planet in there.

Or moon.

[quasi sparrow]

at least one of the vanguard systems has a dissonant planet, that's how I got mine

[shrewd onyx]

Yes, that much in one go – but you can go back and forth. Use the options menu to return to your main save.

[fair badge]

So you go there, and you find the dissonant planet.

It's all written.

[quasi sparrow]

oh, that simplifies things then

nice

[snow ruin]

Are you sure that works?

[shrewd onyx]

I've done that previously.

[fair badge]

You can just send random items to your main save?

[quasi sparrow]

if you go to the anomaly in your expedition file, you can send items back after you finish expedition

[fair badge]

Oh it's afterwards.

Aight.

I thought it was only one way around.

[quasi sparrow]

but I think that locks you out of getting unclaimed community milestone rewards for free and you need to buy them with quicksilver

[shrewd onyx]

You do have to mark the expedition as finished; just don't trigger the “final scores”.

[fair badge]

I mean I'll wait till we get the community thing done anyway.

There ain't too long till that happens.

[quasi sparrow]

last phase is at 16%, we're almost there

[shrewd onyx]

// 16% 16% 16% 16% 16% 16% 16% //

[fair badge]

I need to do Autophage missions to get parts...

[quasi sparrow]

OH GOD, IT'S 16

[fair badge]

WE'RE ALL DOOMED.

16 minutes remaining, let's pray.

[ashen shore]

Omg

[fair badge]

Let's pray Atlas.

Well, no.

It fockin ded or sumth.

[ashen shore]

Atlas my dawg

[fair badge]

Let's pray Korvax Prime.

I bet Atlas is actually...

...A bee.

A fluffy bee.

[quasi sparrow]

it was bein a bee

it what it do

[fair badge]

It beein.

I saw this and was all like.

"Woah."

"Atlas is Makuta."

[ashen shore]

Choose the red orb if you have chest hair
The green orb if you play on creative mode

[snow ruin]

That's a fairly important part of the "you can send stuff back several times".
Because you can't add anything to the stash in the middle of the expedition as it appears to me.

[fair badge]

In the time before time, the Great Spirit descended from the heavens, carrying we, the ones called the Lil Critters.

[fair badge]

I chose the one at the far right.

And ended up in Hilbert Dimension.

[quasi sparrow]

I chose green because I'm in permadeath and I really wanted to find a paradise planet

[fair badge]

I found this not so long after.

So I'm happy with that.

[quasi sparrow]

supposedly you can do it multiple times, if you have the patience to manually travel to the galactic center after the first time

[ashen shore]

That is wasting your choice because you can just go back to elucid then go see Hurlburt

[ornate wing]

I plan to retire in any galaxy but Elucid

[snow ruin]

Mind elucidating on that? ;P

[ornate wing]

lol

Just see all the cool planets, bases, etc. All Euclid.

Feel the next frontier these days is the other galaxies.

[snow ruin]

Where is this "Elucid?"

XD

[ornate wing]

stupid auto correct lol

[snow ruin]

Hahaha

[indigo falcon]

some folks travel through many galaxies and place bases (I have), some even do the "grand tour" and visit all 255

[snow ruin]

I'll probably do the Grand Tour at some point.

Put down a base in each galaxy, just to be able to visit at will

[indigo falcon]

problem is there's a limit

[ornate wing]

Yea

[indigo falcon]

400, and if yo uwant a base at a portal and a base near the core, you're over

[ornate wing]

Well, tbf 400 bases is a lot.

[snow ruin]

Base at a portal near the core

[indigo falcon]

not at all.

[snow ruin]

2-in-1

400 bases goes by fast if you're placing them down where there is something interesting, or in each galaxy.

[ornate wing]

Also depends if you do the "Men's Apartment meme" or actually build them up to

I always try to make a bit of a homestead on each of my bases, even if it's something simple like harvesting copper

[snow ruin]

If you want a base in each galaxy (including Odyulutai (sp?)) that's 256 bases gone, leaving 144 to do what you will with.
And the total amount of base parts you can have across all of those is 16 000 parts.

[fair badge]

I made a base on a Dissonant planet.
Before the update.

And then I come back.

And it's all gross and gloomy cause of the vile brood.

[ornate wing]

lol

[indigo falcon]

for which there still is not either a base part counter or a cumulative counter, it's about time for me to submit a new request for that

on ps5 I cannot dig around in the save file to find out

[ornate wing]

I need to check out some the "cities" people made. to see how they build them.

[indigo falcon]

some are done by glitch building, scale glitch is a big favorite for such builds, really helps a lot

[fair badge]

I saw people make pretty neat stuff in freighters.

I'm shit at buildin stuff in freighters tho.

[indigo falcon]

freighter builds are pretty fun too

building outdoors on a freighter, I mean you can't beat that view

[fair badge]

Yeeeh.

[ornate wing]

I wish I could build closer to a Settlment

Best you can do is sorta make a sub-urban mansion area.

[stoic wing]

i need help with the apex predator milestone can anyone help?

[fair badge]

I've seen builds of like, big open spaces in freighters.
I didn't know you could do that.

[shrewd onyx]

Old freighter parts?

[ornate wing]

Yea, I actually hate how they don't give you a open space part as default.

You need to unlock them, one is called Industrial and one is Called tech.

[fair badge]

I see, I see.

[fair badge]

Hn?

[indigo falcon]

unlocking the parts is the most tedious part of things, or it was in the past

might be better now, with the envoy rewards

[ornate wing]

Yea, I rate Frigate upgrades as the 2nd most grindy things just below QS

[fair badge]

I dunno I had 3 I got somehow.

I was like "oh well".

[ornate wing]

They get used up fast when your trying to get the warp upgrades. 8 for the 2nd tier warp and I think 12 for the 3rd.

[indigo falcon]

ok I gotta say, this new thing where animals walk right through the walls of your base and through your teleporter and out the other side, taking up most of the room if they are big (which that one that just walked through was), no bueno

have some frickin collision, people

[shrewd onyx]

Used to be a different set of freighter rooms. Old saves have them, or you can unlock them via a save editor.

[indigo falcon]

I've got a save with all the old legacy build parts: freighter and ground base., sure wish I could make that account wide

[polar torrent]

lol, I'm sorry in advance if someone stumble upon a small base named JDVance's Secret Love Shack during the expedition, I had to do something beside a base with DJT2024! in the name 🤣

[indigo falcon]

as long as it has a working teleporter and not so many parts it causes lag, I don't think anyone will mind

[polar torrent]

It doesn't have a teleporter, but it has a landing pad at least

[elder yarrow]

if i unlock communiyt expedition 4 and 5 in a separate save from the main save, is that going to unlock them in the main save as well?

[indigo falcon]

if you're going to upload a base, I would make sure it has a telporter at it with power

[fair badge]

Solar panels go brr.

[snow ruin]

Should do, yes

[indigo falcon]

yes, buying with quicksilver is account wide unlock

[polar torrent]

I normally put a proximity switch on the teleporter, so you don't waste power on it when you aren't nearby.

Same for the storage boxes

[indigo falcon]

I just leave 'em. I'm a bad citizen as to power usage

[ornate wing]

I always never do the math on power consumption, but I'm usually intellegent enough to leave some switches so you can assure power is enough for the teleporter.

[polar torrent]

I don't bother if I use an electromagnetic generator, only when using solar.

[indigo falcon]

I make sure there's plenty of excess, it's not like the sun will go out any time soon

and uh ||16 // 16 // 16|| anyways

[elder yarrow]

yeah, doing another play through now because i didn't want to have an issue with the sub save since i was basically done. In any case, now time to get back to R4 and build a base there... that's where I did most of the grinding and that worked out rather well

[indigo falcon]

I've already got ugh might be 8 bases on he expd version of the save, sigh

all marking useful things but one which is where my "home base" is on that save

[turbid folio]

finished the exp last night and really enjoyed it more than i thought i would,, not a major fan of combat but the items given and eventual minotaur w/ AI made it a lot less scary 0:

[lusty slate]

Every player hits that moment when NMS combat finally clicks for them and it gets comfortable. Mine was while playing through Trace of Metal.

[indigo falcon]

and some of us never have that moment ✋

[snow ruin]

The expedition MT really made it pretty chill, IMO

[lusty slate]

Well, Trace of Metal and discovering that the paralysis mortar existed. 😛

[snow ruin]

The minotaur cannon is pretty all right

[elder yarrow]

for what you can do to the sentinels with the Minotaur... IMO it's worth the investment

[lusty slate]

I like ranged combat in the Minotaur though. Spent the entire corrupted Sentinels mission blowing them up before they even got to me.

[fair badge]

Fought the big fishies with Minotaur.

Fought the police with Minotaur.

[lusty slate]

Makes me wish there was a bigger range to ground combat.

[fair badge]

Fought the Ohio police with Minotaur.

Minotaur fights all.

I want a melee weapon for the Minotaur-

[indigo falcon]

I did in the 50 required things with the minotaur and that was that, too clunky for me

[elder yarrow]

that'd be to OP... ||atlas would 16 16 16 16 16 16 16||

[fair badge]

Kill Atlas with the Minotaur.

[elder yarrow]

that'd make Hello Games really mad

[fair badge]

...

Yeah well.

I dunno.

[lusty slate]

Let me have grenades on my pilgrim.

[fair badge]

Wonder what LNF's Atlas will be.

Pilgrim funny bike.

Goes wubwubwubwub.

...Pilgrim parts when.

Exocraft that are not Minotaurs parts when??

To make em look more like racing stuff.

RACING EXPEDITION.

[indigo falcon]

(let's be good about the useof images/gifs in here folks, nms theme please)

[atomic estuary]

Stay on topic

[ruby hollow]

How are we doing people

We’re seeing probably Sunday to Monday ish on phase 5 completion

[stoic wing]

what is a god way to do the blood in water milestone?

[indigo falcon]

18% is how we're doing

[ruby hollow]

…

We will get eventually

[indigo falcon]

starter planet, find ocean instead of lake, look for alluring specimens in the hud

[ruby hollow]

Be prepared for something jumping out at you

[indigo falcon]

it's a red icon with a white orb in it, the marker.

[ruby hollow]

If you have a Minotaur you can use it to travel under water by jumping

[stoic wing]

what is the planet and system called?

[indigo falcon]

it's in the pins in here

as are all the system names, check 'em out.

[ruby hollow]

It can be any planet that has a ocean

[stoic wing]

i am on a planet where it said i got the deepest ocean so what am i looking for?

[indigo falcon]

#nms-expedition message

"alluring specimen" as the milestone says

[stoic wing]

i cannot find any :(

are they rare?

[indigo falcon]

they aren't rare but they aren't all over either. move 200 u away, look again, repeat. make sure you're near ocean that's got some depth to it, not a shallow lake

[rocky kernel]

Definitely moving at a slower rate than last time. Almost but not quite half the speed. So either the number is larger for tier 5 or folks haven't kicked in as much yet. Tier 4 was at a rate of 1.3% per hour, so far for tier 5 were at around .85% per hour.

[indigo falcon]

some people left the expedition I bet, and will just buy for qs

even at a slower rate we'll get it done by midweek

[stoic wing]

these are very annoying to find :(

[fair badge]

To be fair I got lucky and found two near the same location I was.

So I was done with that one pretty quickly.

But yeah, maybe travel in a Minotaur to get faster.

[umbral mulch]

Yeah, I did quite a few hops along an ocean to find them. Happy about that water landing tech - wherever it came from.

[ashen shore]

Progress is slowed as I suspected
We were averaging 1%-3% a hour for phase 3 & 4

[fair badge]

I mean it's near night time in Europe.

I dunno where the majority of NMS players are.

[rocky kernel]

Could be. But yeah mid week would be fair. At the current rate it'll be around 1 pm (pacific) on Tuesday Aug 13.

[fair badge]

But just wait, really.
It'll be done next week anyway.

[indigo falcon]

plenty early

[ashen shore]

These types of things Americans do most the heavy lifting
I could be wrong and NMS could be mostly Europeans tho

[stoic wing]

did you travel in the minotuar then scan?

[fair badge]

Yuh.

Well I travel in Minotaur then when I feel far enough I look around with the visor thingy to check.

[ashen shore]

Y'all checkout the new chest piece though?
It's a pretty sick cockpit/inside view
I think hardframe looks better from the outside though

[fair badge]

Well I feel like the cockpit is the same as the sentinel minotaur's.

I don't have the sentinel one yet, but that shape makes me believe so.

[stoic wing]

You get out of the Minotaur right?

(I know it sounds dumb to ask)

[fair badge]

Aye.

No that's okay.

You can't use the visor inside the Minotaur anyway.

I call it a visor but I don't even remember what it's actually called.

[ashen shore]

It's not the same liquidators better

[rocky kernel]

I had to swim quite far to find all 3 for myself, and at least one of them was glitched underground in a cave but I knew to dig it out first.

Actully 2 were stuck under ground but one was not as far down.

[indigo falcon]

my third one was underground, I was prepping to dig it out by shooting plants, one released jellyfish, I shot one in self defense and the badge popped... shrug. (that was before that bug was fixed)

woulda got it though

[rocky kernel]

LOL

[ashen shore]

I just straight up shot two schools of fish and one jelly fish and moved on

[rocky kernel]

I started after it was fixed.

[stoic wing]

Should I jsut go to the starter planet to get them?

[indigo falcon]

if you want. or just move away some more and scan again

[rocky kernel]

That's where I got mine, on the starter.

Along with the 4 walkers as there were some nice flat areas when I was there.

[indigo falcon]

I got my walkers at an aggro sentinel op centre. nice and fast

that's one of the fun things about this game, there's usually several ways to do things

[rocky kernel]

Would have gotten it elsewhere as I forgot about using gravitino balls to trigger them sooner.

[stoic wing]

I have been scanning this ones for ages and can’t find any and it’s really annoying me

[ashen shore]

The walkers took me a good 3 hours because they kept running away from me

[rocky kernel]

It was annoying for sure to get them. The alluring specimins.

[indigo falcon]

on aggro sentinel worlds, op centres are guarded by a walker (not a mech, an actual walker)

[ashen shore]

The sentinels I mean not the walkers once they spawned

[indigo falcon]

go there, whack it, run away...

a nice place for a base 😛

[wraith badge]

but the Mech's leave handy bits when they go Boom.

[ashen shore]

I have a base idea for a sentinel tower first I need to find a perfect paradise high sentinel planet lol

Preferably on a island

[indigo falcon]

but you can find those by any sentinal pillar

[stoic wing]

Where in the pins dose say about the first system for the blood in water milestone?

[indigo falcon]

it doesn't, you can use any world with oceans

I recommend that one because I know the oceans are deep enough and because it's one of the systems everyone must visit (given they start out there)

[stoic wing]

Yes but I would rather use the first one as it seems everyone is getting it there and I jsut wanted to get the milestone done as it’s boring and annoying me

[ashen shore]

The phase planet that you get the mission on should work too

[indigo falcon]

(as if we do the milestones in any kind of order 😛 )

[ashen shore]

I do lol

[stoic wing]

What is the first system called?

[ashen shore]

Check the pins

[indigo falcon]

can do on the starter planet: kill 16 biohorrors, fire 1800 rounds, crush a grub, 1000u by jetpack, apex predator, whispering eggs i fyou find an abandoned building, 900 resources in one burst, hazardous flora, 6 waypoints, alluring specimens, cook biohorror meat.

[indigo falcon]

#nms-expedition message

note I don't suggest doing the 32 sentinels on that planet, might as well do them when you do the corrupt sentinels, those count for both

[lusty slate]

Whichever milestones gives me the tech I currently want as a reward are the ones I usually do first. 😛

[stoic wing]

The planets in the starter system have got no oceans so what system was it ment to be?

[indigo falcon]

starter planet

trust me

[stoic wing]

What one is that?

[indigo falcon]

it's in the message I linked you. first system, planet is listed

not drop zone one, literally the starter system

[stoic wing]

Hmm ok

[indigo falcon]

it has eels in there. it's got water. lots.

[crimson trail]

Eels 😦

[indigo falcon]

if you don't see water when you're close to the planet, pulse out a little and look from there

[indigo falcon]

"apex predator" 😛

[crimson trail]

Apex Preeldators

[indigo falcon]

no eel emoji in the discord. 😱

[ashen shore]

I am a cultured individual so I do them in the order the game suggested to me

[indigo falcon]

yoghurt or cheese culture tho

[ashen shore]

Yes

[indigo falcon]

good answer. at least there is cheese in nms. perhaps iffy cheese, but cheese nonetheless

have you cooked all the biohorror meat recipes yet?

[ashen shore]

No I'm just relaxing waiting for y'all to unlock the flamethrower

[ruby hollow]

Get out there soldier!

[stoic wing]

I found 1 and destroyed 1

Only 2 more

[ruby hollow]

Or the bugs will give you a flight lesson

[ashen shore]

Ive only participated in tier one before I found out it was limited

[dusty elm]

I there an easier way to find these (Dissonance Resonators) then flying around for endless hours?

[indigo falcon]

hours? it should not take that long. but if you don't see them via ship, land and look via the hud on the ground

nothing? move 200u, look again, etc.

[ruby hollow]

Look for the guys with flags on their heads. There is a chance they will drop them

[dusty elm]

Guys with flags on their heads?

[dusty elm]

🙂 Thank you! Yes, seems like hours, but maybe it's only like 30 minutes lol

[stoic wing]

I need help with storm milestone

[indigo falcon]

any world with storms will work, they do not need to be extreme

[stoic wing]

Is there any planets we go past that have storms?

[indigo falcon]

drop zone one planet has them

drop zone 3 and 5 plaents have them

plenty of planets in drop zone systems have storms too if you don't like any of those

[stoic wing]

Haven’t got to 5 yet trying to do all of 4 before I start on 5

[indigo falcon]

Anvey VIII in drop zone 4 should have storms

[ashen shore]

As far as I’m concerned I did my part. I sat there for days grinding horrors with my maxxed pulse spitter not realizing it was a community goal and eventually quit because I completed the expedition and thought it was bugged since I’d been industrially slaughtering horrors and the bar didn’t tick up much.

[indigo falcon]

you'll be able to buy the remaining items with quicksilver later at least

[stoic wing]

What are the community rewards?

[indigo falcon]

mech parts

right arm , leftarm, body, legs

[snow ruin]

Remember that the storm milestone is walking in storm, jetpacking does not count

[ashen shore]

Walking in circles counts though.

[indigo falcon]

yep

well running, get more distance in the same storm that way

[snow ruin]

More like walking/running a given amount of steps, really

"Gotta get my steps in"

[ashen shore]

Just find a planet with near constant storms, land on a planetary archive, and run back and forth

[stoic wing]

Oh man I thought I could fly aswell

[indigo falcon]

nope. there's a separate jetpacking milestone

[lilac crane]

I made a base with copper and oxygen on the starting planet so I can fly around and give chromatic metal to people starting the expedition. It's fun to see their responses

[snow ruin]

I assumed you would think so, because I did. But when it didn't go up when jetpacking I understood the assignment

[ashen shore]

I think jetpacking counts with jetpack hopping too

[loud lodge]

hey, is the expedition bar completely empty now for anyone else?

[indigo falcon]

I might be the only player who read the milestone and did not try with the jetpack 😛

[ashen shore]

Or rather jetpack hopping counts for distance for the jetpack milestone

[snow ruin]

Yeah, they reset it because we did it too fast
-# ||kidding, of course||

[indigo falcon]

check ods connection; what did it show previously, 18% or something?

[loud lodge]

lol
oh im dumb xD

[shrewd onyx]

Recommendation for that one (and any similar future ones): fight some sentinels and pick up the combat supplies.

[loud lodge]

i think so

[indigo falcon]

check ods connection, discoveries tab, lower left

[snow ruin]

I just ran around my ship XD

[loud lodge]

got it

[snow ruin]

Stop, take some laps, get on my way to the next waypoint

[lilac crane]

I think I completed half the objectives by accident while trying to do the others lol

[loud lodge]

i ended up restarting my game, apparently it was just being weird
ive been bugging out a lot today, i guess this was just another example of it

[stoic wing]

How would I get the nanit one?

[ashen shore]

The hardest one for me was the harvesting resources in one burst milestone

[lilac crane]

You get nanites from completing objectives

Or find a mold farm someone made

[stoic wing]

I am still about 2000 off

[lilac crane]

I made a mold farm at waypoint 2

[stoic wing]

Every time I go to a player made base there is nothing there

[lilac crane]

Called cold nanites, it's on a snow planet lol

[stoic wing]

It’s like someone took it all as I arrived

[lilac crane]

Save at the base then load your save

Everything should respawn

[shrewd onyx]

Mold? No. I'll go and find the proper stuff – mould.

[lilac crane]

I can't spell lol

[snow ruin]

The funny thing is that both are fine, one is british and the other is american

So it's not your fault, but the British and the Americans not being able to get to an agreement

[stoic wing]

I can try and find it but I doubt I will

[ashen shore]

The proper way is Muld.

[indigo falcon]

nanites are also easy if you kill some sentinels (regular, not corrupted), open the salvaged glass and sell off the upgrades

don't forget to refine the eggs and hadal cores you have accumulated from other milestones too

[stoic wing]

They give nanites?

[indigo falcon]

ys they do, 50 each

[stoic wing]

Oooo ok

I won’t get a lot but why not

[indigo falcon]

the upgrades are much more lucrative, 400 to 500 nanites per

[narrow plume]

I got this one by accident. I found a group of "Metal Fingers", which are good sources of gold, platinum, uranium, silver, etc. And one "finger", with a beefed up mining beam, gave some amount well above what was necessary for the mission.

[ashen shore]

We just making our way through expidition chat don't mind us

[stoic wing]

So I have gone to player made base for run away mold but half of it is under ground and I can’t use anything there any help?

[atomic estuary]

You can report the base if you're stuck in it. Base will disappear.

If you're looking for mould just go directly north or south from that point and you should find more so you can establish your own mould base

[stoic wing]

It’s not like the person made the base to trap people it’s just that the game doesn’t clear the area the base inhabited so the base is under ground

Also I don’t even know how to make a mold farm I am jsut looking for one to get a milestone done

[atomic estuary]

So 3 star deposits spawn on the same north-south line, layline

If you go in either direction you'll find more of it

If its just for the milestone then mining some should do

Just dont stop mining until you're done with the milestone

Unless the deposit at that base is ok

[stoic wing]

Hu I am confused now

[atomic estuary]

Yeah, its late.

You just want to complete the milestone right, mine certain amount?

[stoic wing]

What?

I want to complete the milestone yes

[atomic estuary]

Yeah, why do you need run away mould for it?

[stoic wing]

As that what people say I need to get nanites

[atomic estuary]

Alright, there are different ways to get nanites some faster then other

In case of runaway mould you're looking for curious deposit (see the picture)

Just mine it, it'll drop runaway mould, lots of it. The deposit also respawns.

Just teleport away and come back. It'll respawn

5 runaway mould refines to 1 nanite

3 star icon markes deposits

[stoic wing]

Ok thanks

[ashen shore]

Three hours for 2%
The slowdown is here

[magic hazel]

hows everyone doing, i found out tornadoes are in the game last night

[severe mantle]

hows that community milestone looking

[ashen shore]

Not good

Went from 1-3% a hour to .25%

[stoic wing]

Any help with the corrupt sentinel milestone?

[valid roost]

Right so I could be wrong (or you might need one of the many scanner techs installed to your ship) but you need to enter your galaxy map and look for systems labelled 'dissonant'

From there all you have to do is scan the planets of that system until one of them says either dissonant, forsaken or one of the other (it should be in a purple font)

[stoic wing]

I have found one but I can’t find any sentinels

[valid roost]

Did it say there was corrupt sentinels on there (remember where it normally says high sentinel security it should be a purple font saying dissonance detected (or smth along those lines))

[stoic wing]

Yeah it says dissonance

[lost heart]

Start collecting gravitino balls on a dissonant planet.

[west heron]

how can i see which specimens are alluring?

its for the blood in the water quest

[snow ruin]

They'll say so in your visor

[west heron]

where 😭

[snow ruin]

They'll show up as red icons

[west heron]

oh so the ones that attack you?

[snow ruin]

Once you take their hadal cores, yes

[west heron]

ty

[faint mesa]

Already at 22% on tier 5.
We are going fast on this. 😅

[ashen shore]

Keep up the good work

Your country thanks you

[devout echo]

Wrong reply

[ashen shore]

Insert the I'm not doing shit gif here

5th Stage, purge by fire. 23% and counting.... it's all I have left to do XD

Had this not been a thing, I would have finished this expidition days ago...

[snow ruin]

It's optional for a reason

[ornate wing]

optional = months of QS if you don't tho

[snow ruin]

Maybe a month

[ornate wing]

True. Assuming you don't go over the 3 daily stack limit.

[snow ruin]

Just the weekend missions are 1800 , IIRC, and 4 of those in a month, a minimum of 7200 , plus the possible 400 per day

[ornate wing]

You would need 12k assuming each part is 3k

[snow ruin]

They aren't

[ornate wing]

We technically don't know yet.

Uness there is some way to see?

[snow ruin]

Uh, yeah. People that didn't claim them in the expedition yet checked in the main save

[ornate wing]

What is the price then?

[snow ruin]

Don't remember all, but I believe the first was said to be 1000 at least. Feel free to try looking/searching through this channel to find the actual stated values

As in not more than 1000, but that was the one I remembered

[ornate wing]

eh I believe ya.

[warm quartz]

claimed them as in claimed rewards in the expedition screen?

do we think theres gonna be a fix so i can actually claim the reward in my main save

[edgy badge]

So I'm using the default expedition tool and mostly use the Scatter Blaster mode and am running into reloading issues. Anyone else having this?

[warm quartz]

tbh reloading int he game is always jank for me

like i have to stop and stand still to get it to actually work

[edgy badge]

It's like I have to spam the reload button sometimes to get it to work

[warm quartz]

yeah i get that in main game too

[edgy badge]

Ah yeah don't shoot much in normal game mode

[warm quartz]

but the expedition really made me like scatter blaster

[ashen shore]

Just transfer the parts over once phase 5 is done it's not a big deal

[snow ruin]

Yes. it's obviously a bug that you can't build the blueprint on your main save

[warm quartz]

gonna get a sentinel rifle just to use as a shotgun

[snow ruin]

What you start with is a sentinel MT

[warm quartz]

i mean on my main save, and i want a rifle rather than the goofy looken pistol

but yea

i could just transfer it across but i like the grind

[snow ruin]

If you started the expedition from your main save you can copy the expedition MT out to the main save with nanites

[warm quartz]

if you could get different colours with the pistol id like it with a grey or black one

but not a big fan of the orange

looks like a nail gun

doesnt really fit a dedicated shotgun build

[snow ruin]

Redneck shotgun

Made from nail gun

[lusty slate]

The Sentinel MTs colors are sadly locked. No variation.

[warm quartz]

i know its tragic

its a shame cause if you want a dedicated weapon MT you really only got a staff, or the decent sentinel rifle or a pistol

[lusty slate]

I'll start showing interest in new MTs again when they give us more than 6 slots...

[warm quartz]

cause was also gonna make a rocket launcher neutron cannon one but no other MT options left that would work well looks wise

unless i just sacrifice a bit of damage and get a normal MT for it

[ashen shore]

I only use staffs now, the walking animations alone hell ya

[warm quartz]

yeah kinda confusing thta you can have 12 starships but only 6 little guns

even if they made it you could only carry 6 with you but leave some more on a base in a weapons rack that you can swap out would be fire

[warm quartz]

my main is a staff they look so cool

[lilac crane]

If your still on when I get off work I can deliver

[lusty slate]

I have a staff, the Atlas scepter, alien MT for pew pew, experimental with pretty purple crystals for max scanning, Switch MT and the unique starter MT. I'm full. 😛 I already had to scrap the royal I had to make room for the scepter...

[warm quartz]

i got a staff for scan plasma launcher and pulse spitter, and a ddedicated mining atlantid

gonna get a sentinel shotty

[ashen shore]

I still have the starter too lol

I have the original 2016 starter on my ps4 save and the pre order multigun too

[lusty slate]

I'm loath to part with it. I like keeping relics of my early game around.

[warm quartz]

damn

[ornate wing]

I'm S tiering the pre-order ship just for this reason.

[lusty slate]

Which ship? What platform are you on?

[ornate wing]

The Alpha Vector

[warm quartz]

other than the starter ship ive only ever used sentinel ships

[ornate wing]

sorry the PC version of it

Horizon Omega or something like that.

[warm quartz]

i have a wacky exotic that i found but never actually flown the thing

[lusty slate]

Oh nice. I have the Switch Rasa, which you also can't get anymore. Was only available for a month after the Switch launch.

[warm quartz]

i saw from expedition 1 there was a cool gold ship

shame cant get that anymore

[lusty slate]

Yup, Golden Vector. I have it because of the Cartographers remix offering it again.

[ornate wing]

Anybody have the Gamestop pre-order multi-tool?

[warm quartz]

not sure what that is. this is my first expedition. played the game like 3 years ago for a little bit woth a mate but only just started playing seriously couple weeks ago

[ornate wing]

This my first expedition sadly.

I pre-ordered the game, played it a good chunk. Just now got back into it.

Good perk about it is everything is crazy new and amazing to me. So I get that nice hit.

Bad perk, missed out on a lot of cool events.

[warm quartz]

yeah looking through past expedition rewards has me FOMOing

[cold tulip]

You will get to replay a few in December most likely

[lusty slate]

These are the launch only Switch ship and MT:

[ornate wing]

That cool Hauler gunship 😦 I want it so bad

[warm quartz]

must have missed that one

im more interested in the pets '

some cool looken ones like the little eyeball robot dude

[lusty slate]

The Iron Vulture from Adrift. Fortunately, that was the expedition before this one. It will likely rerun during the holidays.

[warm quartz]

yoo

[ornate wing]

wooo

[warm quartz]

just looked it up ship looks fire

gonna go crazy in my freighter never being used

[ornate wing]

I force myself to rotate multi-tools/ships by specializing them heavily

[lusty slate]

Omega also has the Starborn Runner, which will also likely rerun at the end of the year.

[warm quartz]

i do that with MT but idk i like having an ol' reliable ship

gonna be like some alpha douche with a bunch of space lambos in my garage

[ornate wing]

Like my Explorer ship is like 1000+LY range. but just enough guns to make sure I'm not ganked by pirates.

[warm quartz]

might have to go bald

[ornate wing]

Why my Fighter has like 5 weapon systems.

[warm quartz]

i only use my freighter to warp ngl

[ornate wing]

I use to, then I learned you don't get some the pirate events. Then later learned killing Pirate Freighters = tech for your own freighter.

[warm quartz]

oh damn

maybe ill throw a couple of ship warps into the rotation

[ornate wing]

Yea the tech is good to. Speeds Frigate Expenditions up, lowers cost of fuel, etc.

[warm quartz]

is it the same as the ones you get from derelict frieghters or are they unique ones that can stack

[ornate wing]

That I'm not sure, they are all S tier so far. It also seems it's 100% guaranteed to get one as long as you blow up the freighter before it flees.

[ashen shore]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

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

bro got told off by gunter

[warm quartz]

oh yeah i think i did one of those once cant remember what i got from it tho

[west heron]

if i finish everything on the expedition do i get to keep everything i got on my primary save?

[ruby hollow]

We have conquered the glass!

[west heron]

?

[ruby hollow]

You can bring some of the stuff back in a menu in the anomaly

The same screen where you chose to bring some stuff with you

[west heron]

and cant i keep like the ship or the multitool?

[ruby hollow]

You can pay Nantes to make copies back in your actual save

[west heron]

and what if i keep stuff on my ship and then buy it back on my primary save?

[ashen shore]

Gunna take us the rest of the day to milk out the 5% to get to 30 I bet

[turbid folio]

i think someone said it earlier but im uncertain but, do items bought w/ quicksilver transfer?

[ashen shore]

Yeah but don't buy a void egg on a expedition

1 arm to go

[ruby hollow]

Yes

Most will

All expedition rewards will

[lucid elk]

Is the swarmsong objective on the final page bugged or not supposed to show a marker?

[ashen shore]

All the bugs should of been fixed in 5.0.2 & 3

You mean the community objective?

[lucid elk]

The one right next to it, maybe it just isn't supposed to mark it and I kinda assumed. I have it selected in my log but that isn't doing anything

[turbid folio]

awesome ty Horizon!

[crystal iris]

Anyone having issues claiming the Minotaur parts on their regular saves?

[lucid elk]

Learn the fate of Liquidator #3813G

[lusty slate]

Have you cleared all the dropzones + infection sites?

[lucid elk]

Yup! I've completed every objective except that one and the community one

[lusty slate]

It's bugged right now on main. Will say claimed, but it doesn't show up to craft

[lusty slate]

Hmm. Save/reload and select it again?

[crystal iris]

Thank you, that is exactly what I'm experiencing.
Should I submit a Bug report too.. or you think enough have already been sent?

[lucid elk]

Still nothing :(. Wonder if I'm in the wrong galaxy? But even if I was, I'd have no clue where to go😅

I've googled it and looked on youtube and reddit and can't find the specific location unfortunately

[lusty slate]

When I did it, it was near the infestation site on RDV 5.

I think

[wraith venture]

To extra confirm what galaxy you're in, you can check your galaxy map, it shows in top left corner

[lusty slate]

Might as well. It will certainly get attention if a lot of people do it.

[wraith venture]

In case this is of help:
#nms-questions message

Swarmsong - Learn the fate of Liquidator #3813G
Grub Cocoon
that milestone gives you the egg as a reward; that milestone is already completed by the time you're able to get your hands on the egg; the tooltip letting you know that you've got a egg to hatch isn't a part of the milestone or even expedition objectives

[lucid elk]

Tysm! Looking now

[lucid elk]

Does this mean hatching the egg would complete the milestone?

When I first entered this galaxy the icon popped up but then it went away

[lusty slate]

This is a weird question, but you're not in multiplayer, are you?

[lucid elk]

I'm online so... I think I am? Or is that not how that works?😂

Yeah I see other players discovering things so I definitely am

[wraith venture]

Oh btw, galaxy != system Thought I should mention it to help reduce confusion. I assume you meant when you entered this system*

[opal glade]

planets > system > galaxy

is how i understood it

those are arrows

[wraith venture]

Not sure. I was quoting @remote thunder's clarification in case it helped. We can ask him about it more tomorrow when he's back on

[ashen shore]

If it doesn't get patched before the community challenge ends I'm fully prepared to waste 4 tech slots on Mach gear lol

[wraith venture]

And you may want to disable Multiplayer in your Network settings when trying to troubleshoot a potential glitch. I assume that's why Morgeil asked

Being in group or in MP lobbies with other players (which is more likely in Expedition events when the community is going to the same systems) has been known to make some bugs / glitches persist. So it's best to try playing solo, not in group, and having MP disabled while trying to address an unexpected issue.

[lucid elk]

My bad, still learning the terminology. Are systems within the galaxy?

[sacred mirage]

yeah

[wraith venture]

That's definitely a helpful representation

Unless the < was to signify size. Then maybe planet < system < galaxy could help with the visuals

[wraith venture]

No worries! It's a common mistake with newer players. So yeah, a planet is in a system, and there are many many many systems in a galaxy

There are 256 galaxies

And I think still only up to 6 planets per system

[sacred mirage]

Yes in this game 2 to 6 planets per system

[lusty slate]

6905 quicksilver and counting

[velvet bridge]

I was hoping that after a week of being away from the game, I would be able to boot in and claim all of the community milestone rewards 😭

[low jackal]

no freeloading

do your parts

jk Im also waiting for it to complete

[lusty slate]

Hey I killed stuff today while doing QS missions lol

[ashen shore]

I didn't do anything since I found out only 150 kills per day counted

In phase 1 I killed over 3000 but only 150 counted because I farmed all the heads and shit and got the kills in one day

[velvet bridge]

It's at 250 now, so you still wouldn't be able to contribute more. I'm in the same boat.

How do you get the heads?

[ashen shore]

Killing the queens
It's a low chance in the expidition don't be like me

Collect the baby's in the expedition and murder em in your regular save

[velvet bridge]

The big ones that lay the eggs at the abandoned posts?

[ashen shore]

No the slug type shit

[velvet bridge]

Ohhhh I already forgot about those

[ashen shore]

It's a half circle you can pick it up or shoot it

[velvet bridge]

Right right

[sacred mirage]

The 150 kill limit is like doing your part is inviting new players?

[ashen shore]

Yeah there's 4 unlockable heads they all pretty ugly lol

It's like a vykeen cousin

[velvet bridge]

Hahaha

[ashen shore]

Anyways on your regular save it's a suggested 1/5 odds

But that's not how rng works it's not guaranteed

26% for purge of fire 5... keep it up guys! NO RETREAT! NO SURRENDER!

[sacred mirage]

Oh it's 26% now? yesterday it was 8%

[ashen shore]

Sean siad it was a Starship troopers esqu kind of game.
the Exocraft looks like the Maurauder from the part 3

[magic hazel]

i am so close to just ending the expedition for how long its going but ILL DO MY BEST

[ashen shore]

that is all one can ask...

[magic hazel]

(i dont need to transfer the liquidator stuff to my primary save right?)

[ruby hollow]

You can claim it in the quicksilver shop

[magic hazel]

ok cool cool lol

thanks

[ruby hollow]

No prob

[magic hazel]

just wanna make sure before i leave the expedition after getting everything and turning out not bringing the mech stuff

[torpid tulip]

how do I get tier five you know the flamethrower thing

[sacred mirage]

wait

It won't take so long

That's a community goal, and youcan do your part, 150 kill per day

[ashen shore]

All I have left is this part 5 and im done. then I will put this new stuff on my exocraft and I will have to change my exocraft's name from Gilgamesh to M11 Marauder

[torpid tulip]

oh ok thank you very much

[ashen shore]

Chop chop tell all your friends to buy NMS and kill 150 monsters immediately

[ashen shore]

^^^^ yes!

[torpid tulip]

ok

[ashen shore]

<<<< Doing my part!

You have my emotional support

[faint mesa]

Finally got the Liquidator parts on my main save

They were all just available... I thought you had to pay for it 😆

Am I missing something?

[ashen shore]

The bug must of missed you

[slim wagon]

Anyone have a surplus of salvaged data they'd trade for a Klondike bar?

[torpid tulip]

why cant I collect the parts I do have on my main save?

[sacred mirage]

Just go to the quicksilver shop

[torpid tulip]

ok thx

[sacred mirage]

Choose "collect expedition rewards" or something similar

[torpid tulip]

it said I have them but I cant use them

[sacred mirage]

Oh sorry I haven't dealt with these before 😦

[low ember]

flamethrower when ffs

[torpid tulip]

ok thank you any way

[dusky oracle]

how do you get more quicksilver?

[sacred mirage]

There are quicksilver tasks

[ashen shore]

Just stay in the expidition I bet the flamethrower gunna be like 3000 lol

[dusky oracle]

where do I get it from? same NPC?

[sacred mirage]

Emm the great greenish cube in the center of the anomaly

idk how to describe it sorry

but you can get tasks there

[ruby hollow]

Large amounts often come from expeditions

This one doesn’t give a lot though

[sacred mirage]

This expedition give like 505?

[ruby hollow]

Yep

Weird number

[dusky oracle]

not too sure about this if you could explain it more details please?

[ruby hollow]

Some expeditions like this one going on right now for some objectives you will get large amounts of quicksilver

[sacred mirage]

If you do the expedition with your main save, you'll get the quicksilver, I think

[ruby hollow]

Yes

[dusky oracle]

I have my main save, but my quicksilver cannot go up even though I completed all missions

[ruby hollow]

Though every weekend there is a mission at the anomaly that gives you 2700

[ruby hollow]

You must finish it and return to the main save

[dusky oracle]

oh ok so completely finish the exped

[blissful onyx]

are you able to do the expedition twice if you do It on your main save?

I did my expedition on a new save first

[marble kiln]

^same question bc I want to end it but I want the last mission as well

[molten leaf]

If i claim the last mission will it force end the expiration

[marble kiln]

No

You have to end it in the anomaly

[marble kiln]

^

[molten leaf]

Ok

[tame shale]

Problem is really....they are SO few and far between on some places....so you just have to keep plowing along. I went walking along the seafloor in my Minotaur, got out every so often for another scan

[ashen shore]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

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

[hollow girder]

At the end of the expedition, can you transfer currency to your "main" self?

[ashen shore]

Ya

[hollow girder]

ty

[ashen shore]

No thank you citizen

[ashen shore]

Tier 5 @ 28%.... Moving right along XD

[marble kiln]

Fr

Too slow

[indigo falcon]

at the current rate we'll be done before next wednesday, leaving almost 3 weeks of the expedition with everything complete

[vivid flicker]

can you collect rewards from previous expeditions, even if you've never done them

i wanna get this ship but it wont let me

[faint mesa]

Not by normal means, only save editing / modding / service bot

[vivid flicker]

bruh

that sucks

[simple pawn]

I cannot find the 12 pav creature

[faint mesa]

Many tips in the pinned messages on this very channel 🙂

[simple pawn]

ok I'll check

[ashen shore]

So once in awhile, they do old expeditions so that you can get more of those items.

you8 just have to keep track of it

[vivid flicker]

oh nice

[ashen shore]

I just got that quad robot not too long ago. It was from an earlier expedition.

they annouce it before they do old expeditions.

I think one day Sean will just give all the expiditon awards away free to everyone lol

[vivid flicker]

if i end the current expedition right now so that i can claim my rewards on my main save, will i no longer be able to get this liquidator right arm for free

[ashen shore]

that is something new. I always finished an expedition completely before I claimed anything.

That is why this is frustrating waiting for enough of us to "do our part" to get this last thing done lol

29% by the way lol

I am scouring a dead planet for broods lol

[vivid flicker]

darn

i hope it reaches completion tomorrow

[indigo falcon]

you can kill any of sentinels/bugs/biohorrors to "Do Your Part", so finding a building and whacking green meanies might be easier than finding grubs

[regal wing]

seem to recall there's a limit to how many kills before your ability to contribute just shuts off?

[low jackal]

150 or 250 per day or sth

[regal wing]

fun fact plasma grenades or Neutron are bug swatters soon as they pop up they are clustered perfect for smacking them before they run off, can literally sit there blowing them away with those two weapons, Neutron is a AOE after all

literally "Shooting fish in a barrel." 🤣

[crimson trail]

Already at 29%!

We are strong💪

[elder yarrow]

take it that the bug for the liquidator parts isn't fixed yet?

[ashen shore]

No but it is a soft bug, you'll be able to transfer from the expi using 4 tech slots for all the mech stuff

Wait 4 the flamethrower arm tho

[elder yarrow]

it's a painful one cause i can't build the two parts i originally unlocked (i'm working on a separate save now), yet can build the body

[ashen shore]

Any bug is bad and shouldn't be there aha, just hope the expi is over soon

[indigo falcon]

someone tested it in the experimental branch out now and it seemed to work there. we'll see

[ashen shore]

They've been slow getting out patches for worlds though I can only assume they struggling to pass verification

[indigo falcon]

this still hasn't gone to public yet, and there's a lot of fixes in it. I wouldn't expect anything to go during the weekend, maybe early next week?

[ashen shore]

Switch ain't even get .0.3 yet either ahaha

[indigo falcon]

I wish Nintendo were a little faster at getting patches out the door, for the sake of everyone on that platform

[ashen shore]

Me too I've submitted like 13 bug issues from my goolging it looks like the korvax scientist issue has been here forever

[lusty moon]

are the cosmetics from the expedition good? I might regret completing it if it really is bad

[indigo falcon]

why? if you started from an existing save you get nanites and units for everything you did, that carries back to the main save

people like the liquidator mech tech parts well enough

[lusty moon]

I mean yeah but its not substantial compared to the amount I make on my main save

So are the liquidator mech parts going limited?

[indigo falcon]

plus also the sentinel mt you start with eventually ends up as S class with a ton of tech in it, which can be copied back to the main save

[lusty moon]

or will they forever be in the shop

[indigo falcon]

if you don't get them in the expedition you will be able to buy them for quicksilver

[lusty moon]

so technically the cosmetics aren't exclusive?

[finite steeple]

another expedition? how long do i have left?

[lusty moon]

that would make zero sense if staffs are exclusive

[ashen shore]

We on phase 5 hurry up and contribute

[lusty moon]

yeah contribute and help us

I really want the rewards

[indigo falcon]

the specific liquidator mech tech ones are not exclusive, that's right. this was announced in the update notes

other items obtained inthe expd are exclusive however

[lusty moon]

are those items stuff that people can see?

this would be one of the worst expeditions to exist

[indigo falcon]

yes, there's bug armour and posters, title, decal, all exclusives. also bug head trophies for the base

[lusty moon]

wait so the bug armour is exclusive?

[indigo falcon]

yes. the liquidator tech parts are the ones you can buy for qs

the bug armour bits are cosmetics

[lusty moon]

oh then still, if the bug armour is exclusive, this expedition is kind of worth it

[indigo falcon]

also there's the 'grub cocoon' (companion egg) another exclusive

[lusty moon]

Because you can let others know you are better than them 😂

[lusty moon]

that one I didnt hatch yet

[ashen shore]

Well that's enough for me today, 30% and counting XD Cya tomorrow o/

[indigo falcon]

if by "better" you mean "had the good fortune to have time to play the expedition" then I guess so 😛 😛

[finite steeple]

been a while. dont remember how to. lol.

[lusty moon]

lol

[ashen shore]

and remember, the only good bug is a dead bug! XD

[lusty moon]

pun detected

sentinel drones enforced

[finite steeple]

oh god. this starting planet is glorious. whats with the giant eyeball though?

[indigo falcon]

we are watching you. deserters will be punished!

[finite steeple]

i cant be a deserter. i havent joined yet. lol

[ashen shore]

Does it count as being a deserter if I'm proving emotional support

[low jackal]

enlist now or perish

[finite steeple]

does it count as desserter if i keep eating this ice cream?

[low jackal]

[opal glade]

I wnat to stab that giant eyeball

but i can't

that grub is invulnerable

i shoot it with my infraknife

for a minute straight

it just glows real bright

[indigo falcon]

lucky you're at a bit of a distance 😛

[ashen shore]

[dusky oracle]

question about inverted mirror, im in dissonant planet but cannot find with analyzer

[hasty sequoia]

theres an exp active??

[fickle night]

yeah it's a bit hard to look for it, need to look around for the sentinel extractor drill with "inverted mirror" below the naming

[fickle night]

yes, there's active expedition, 2 weeks time left 4 weeks time left

[hasty sequoia]

wait when did it start

[fickle night]

no idea :x i just knew about it few days ago xd

[fair badge]

Started like 3 or 4 weeks ago.

[dusky oracle]

I thought 4 weeks? 3 weeks soon

[full sun]

Ends on 9/2

[dusky oracle]

not sure about that...my first time

[hasty sequoia]

🙈i don't remember if this is the same expedition i did in June lmao

[fair badge]

It is, you just gotta kill the big drill-lookin things.

[fickle night]

oh, im sorry xd i dont remember it correctly then xd

[fair badge]

With corrupted sentinels around.

[full sun]

Just scan for Dissonance Resonators

[dusky oracle]

lol np

[dusky oracle]

using ship scanner or visor?

[full sun]

Visor

[fickle night]

look like this

the icon

[fair badge]

Looks like me.

[fickle night]

and when close, below the drill name, there's the name of the item you'll get if you destroy it

[fair badge]

You'll have to fight or run away after killing these tho.

[fickle night]

for inverted mirror, the naming looks like this

[hasty sequoia]

ah thank you!! cant believe i havent noticed lol

[fickle night]

no problem

[fair badge]

Man, 32% already.

[fickle night]

btw, if i end my expedition, will my Bases i create in Expedition merge with my Main Save?

[dusky oracle]

Thanks!

Thanks @fickle night and @fair badge

[fair badge]

You're very welcome.

[fair badge]

Probably.
I think.
Perhaps.

I don't know, actually.

I haven't made any base in expedition.

But I think they'll be in your main save after you end it.

[dusty elm]

Today's mission, if I chose to accept it 🔫 😎 is getting a 'Walker Brain'. Where are the walkers found at mostly? P.S. I've been playing NMS for over 1 year and still learning things, any help is appreciated. TY

[fair badge]

You can't really find walkers.

Just piss sentinels off till they throw one at you.

Normal sentinels, not corrupted ones.

They're pretty much the "last boss" of sentinels.

On foot.

[dusty elm]

Good news that it's not the corrupted one. Fought them for 3 hours yesterday to complete the mission for that. I'm working on building the mek.

Thank you very much!!

[fair badge]

I don't think there are any special enemies for corrupted sentinels.

There are just little ones with legs, big quadrupeds and the floating ones.

Maybe there will be more in another update.

I hope so.

[dusty elm]

When the walker appears, can I shoot it from inside the abandoned building doorway or is it mostly walking around the outer parts of the building?

[fair badge]

You can shoot it from inside, yeah.

I think I killed my first one that way-

But to be honest if you have a Minotaur you can just beat the crap out of all that with no issue.

Even without a Minotaur, actually.

You're in the expedition right?

[dusty elm]

I'm building the Minotaur tech something on it. That's what I need the walker brain for. Do I need to just jump in the thing and use it without these tech things it said it needed. Not in game right now to say name of the upgrade

I'm logging on to see if I can get some screen shots of what the Minotaur needs

[fair badge]

I mean you don't really need the Liquidator stuff to kill the walker.

[dusty elm]

Yes I'm in the exp 14

[fair badge]

But yeah, just get the Minotaur cannon with the upgrades you're given.
