nms-expedition

[fair badge]

And you'll do just fine.

[indigo falcon]

if you started the expedition from an existing save, bases created during the expedition will be owned by the existing save once you exit the expedition for good.

[dusty elm]

Sounds good, hope it don't need a walker brain to build lol

[fair badge]

Nah.

I mean, have you completed all the phases yet?

[dusty elm]

Yes, completed 1 thru 4

[fair badge]

I think normally there's a milestone that just gives you a pre packed Minotaur cannon and the upgrades.

So you don't even need to craft these.

[dusty elm]

Awesome!! I didn't even check for that

[fair badge]

Y'just have to get the items and install them on the Minotaur.

[indigo falcon]

if you goto an aggressive sentinel planet, and find an operations centre, there is a walker guarding it. you can find these structures by trading nav data for 'secure facilities' maps with the cartographer at any space station. bring 5-6 maps and land on the planet, then spam these maps, one at a time, until such a afacility is revealed. if you get an error about 'already a building of this type' (like the map wanted to do a second manufacturing facility for example) just spam again, eventually it will work. after killing the one walker a second one should appear shortly. to get more walkers you will need to go to another facility or put a base there, teleport out of the system, teleport back (or maybe save reload there)

this is the only way I know of to find a walker ready to fight, except for killing waves of sentinels.

[fair badge]

...

That's weirdly complex just to find a walker.

Just fight sentinels on ground.

[indigo falcon]

there are a few player bases in drop zone 4 that have something like 'sentinel walker' or 'ops centre' in the title, you could try those

they wanted to know how to find a walker, and this is one way, though most players I think are unaware of the particular game mechanic

[dusty elm]

Thank you very much! 👍

[indigo falcon]

I expect most players just fight through 5 waves (or maybe 3, if they start by picking up grav balls on an aggro sentinel world)

and tey dothat 4 times on 4 different planets

[fickle night]

no problem

[fair badge]

I mean, fighting sentinels gives you nanites and stuff to sell.

So y'know.
Why not.

And it makes you DO YOUR PART.

[indigo falcon]

same reason people send over items to help get through the expedition more efficiently.

[fair badge]

It's not like it's any hard anyway.

[indigo falcon]

if it's what you prefer and enjoy more, awesome

I find taking advantage of more obscure game mechanics to be pretty fun myself

I wasn't aware this was a thing before this expedition in fact.

[ancient ferry]

Hi, does anyone know why I'm not receiving the optional milestone reward?

[fair badge]

Uuuuh.

Dunno.

[indigo falcon]

ods connected? (discoveries tab lower left) if so, then try go killing more things, maybe 50 more (horrors, sentinels, bugs)and see then

[ancient ferry]

🙃

[indigo falcon]

check ods connection in that case

[indigo falcon]

save-exit-reload and see.

[fair badge]

Give me your credit card's code and see.

As well as your social security number.

Aaaand the key to your house.

And a cup of hot chocolate too.

And see.

:>

[ancient ferry]

I need nitro to the video

Dont works

[indigo falcon]

intro to what video, sorry?

[ancient ferry]

🇵🇲

Nitro

[fair badge]

Boat.

[ancient ferry]

The discord premium

[indigo falcon]

oh. don't worry, just describe what happens: you save-exit-reload and the milestone does not come up?

[ancient ferry]

Yes

[indigo falcon]

the only thing I can suggest is to kill a couple things (not 50), which should force the game to try to send that data up to the ods servers for part of your daily contrib, and see if it gets sorted. could take a few minutes to clear.

also multiplayer off, just in case

beyond that I do not have any ideas, if after 5 minutes it's still stuck....

[ancient ferry]

This IS a genocide 😭

[indigo falcon]

the point is that there is a daily number of contributions thatcan be registered, we think up to 150 kills a day

and that means data passed up to the ods servers from each player

it may be that forcing this to happen can make the issue with the tier 4 item get sorted out

as in, you pass data up and get a current update of the status back

but even a couple kills while still connected to ods, that should force it within a few minutes

this assumes you didn't already kill over 150 things sometime earlier today

[snow ruin]

Unless there's something wrong with the game files, so try to verify game files. Then try to restart the computer and try to kill some things and see if the milestone pops.

[indigo falcon]

this is x box, I dunno if there is a verify game files function

but it's true that there may be various things cached

[craggy echo]

It’s happened to me. I restarted making sure I was online etc

And got the rewards straight away when I logged into the game

I may have killed one bio horror

[indigo falcon]

thanks, that's good to know

[finite steeple]

sucks. as a fellow xbox player i wish all the buggy BS wasnt the normal state of affairs

[fair badge]

Bixbox.

[indigo falcon]

I can only imagine. ps5, we have none of those facilities either. I guess some ps5 players have had repeated crashes wth the worlds update, and no relief yet

[dusty elm]

Just wondering, why does my Minotaur keep following me around. When I enter the game, it practically jumps on top of my head lol. Do I need to pick it up each time with geo-bay too?

[finite steeple]

i landed on a dissonant planet in this expedition and fell into space and died. xbox just lives with buggy crap. lol.

[finite steeple]

autopilot does that. it thinks its your companion pet. if you want to stop it, just activate a different geobay and it should leave you alone

[ashen shore]

Switch ain't even on 5.0.3 yet and Mac don't even have some features yet
This update had been weird for sure

[dusty elm]

Thank you, it's SO annoying!!

[finite steeple]

yeah its been annoying me with that for about a year. its why i usually live in my Nomad.

well that and because the nomad drives over water

[dusty elm]

I'll have to check out the Nomad.

[finite steeple]

get all the engine upgrades. if you get used to it you can boost and jump off a ridge and it slowfalls letting you cross some distances much faster than normal

[dusty elm]

The 'Timberwolf mission requires I use it to kill 50 hostiles. So I guess I have to deal with it for a bit longer 😄

Crystallised hearts: Do I need these for any other missions? I've got 3.

[wanton badge]

anyone know any close paradise planet in current expedition?

do you have one?

[shell oriole]

guys, is the expedition

[wanton badge]

yes

[shell oriole]

E

accidentally hit enter

does the expedition progress really track kills or is it just timed like I saw somewhere?

[wanton badge]

its tracked only when you started the expedition i think cause not everyone has the same saw someone livestreaming his is already 80% in the last trick while mine is still at 35%

just end the expedition you can still claim the optional even if you end it after completing every mission in the expedition anyways

[shell oriole]

I heard of you end the expedition fully by claiming the last reward and the go out of it you can¨t get the reward. is that of concern or will I be fine?

[wanton badge]

you can still get the optional rewards

and the optional rewards are permanently in the quicksilver shop anyways

its like 1-2k quicksilver each if you don't want to do the expedition

[shell oriole]

so If I finish the expedition, I get the optional rewards for free after they're done

[wanton badge]

yeah

[shell oriole]

aight, thx

[snow ruin]

If I understand you correctly, no. If you finish the expedition without getting the optional rewards while you're in the expedition you'll not get them for free.

[shell oriole]

so this is safe

I jsut wanna be sure

[shell oriole]

oh

okay good that you told me

I was about to end it

[snow ruin]

No, if you do that you'll have to pay for the last item then

[shell oriole]

alr

thx

[wanton badge]

it's not worth it waiting

just pay quicksilver

[shell oriole]

eh, the gek inside me likey free stuff

[snow ruin]

That's not your decision to make for them. Actually give them all the information they need to make an informed decision. Don't give them misinformation

[elfin hull]

Patience is key.

[elfin hull]

We only have one last community goal to achieve and that's being cleared with haste from what I can see. But if you want to enjoy your bounty from playing the expedition, you can always end early and pay the Quicksilver for the things you weren't there for. There's really no good answer for whether you should end now or wait, because the cost for either isn't that much anymore.

[shell oriole]

okay. and I wanna know

[elfin hull]

Of course, you DON'T have to wait nor stay in the expedition and play your main save like usual while waiting for the community to finish it for you.

[shell oriole]

I saw under a reddit post that the kills don¨t really matter and that it's timed

is that true?

or is there smth like semi-live update with real number of kills

[dawn nimbus]

Hey, how did you guys get the 'fat of the land' milestone? 🤔

900 resources in one go, hmmmmmm

[shell oriole]

I went to a planet with a forest

[wanton badge]

just mine continously

[shell oriole]

and mined

[dawn nimbus]

Mine as in, with the terrain manipulator?

[shell oriole]

the mining beam

[wanton badge]

no just mining beam

[snow ruin]

No live update, but check the link under Purged by Fire in the pins to see the datamined numbers

[shell oriole]

you jsut mine resources

[snow ruin]

Some help is given in the pins

[wanton badge]

just don't let your mining beam reset it's heat before getting 900 resource

[dawn nimbus]

hmm I think my mining beam doesn't last that long

[elfin hull]

For phase 5, everyone have a daily kill cap to prevent one person from just finishing the entire community goal solo (Or cheaters ruining the fun).

[snow ruin]

It does

[wanton badge]

you just need to let it cooldown a little bit

don't let it fully cooldown

[dawn nimbus]

ah, not all the way

cool

[snow ruin]

Or prepare

[shell oriole]

oooh I see. so me killing sentinels continuously didn't do anything after like the 3rd fight

[dawn nimbus]

nice

[shell oriole]

and I kill sentinels cause it's more fun thatn fighting the biological horrors continuouskly

[dawn nimbus]

wat, I mined 1000 carbon and it only counted as 300, wtf lol

[shell oriole]

did the number of mining disapear between the mining?

[dawn nimbus]

no

[snow ruin]

Put up the milestone, that's the one you need to look at

[wanton badge]

it's capped at like 250 per day i think

[snow ruin]

What is? Kills per person counted? No, look at the source linked in the pins to see maximum daily contribution being 150

[shell oriole]

lemme check it for y'all

I am i ngame currentlůy

[snow ruin]

You can't see it in game

[elfin hull]

I'm pretty sure it's 250 now.

[shell oriole]

you can

it says max 250

on the 5th

[indigo falcon]

250 is the total number of kills to qualify for the free item, not the daily amount counted towards the progress bar

[dawn nimbus]

yesssssss

[snow ruin]

The 250 and counting is just to tell you that you've done the minimum to get the reward for that milestone. NOT the maximum number of daily kills

[dawn nimbus]

got it

[shell oriole]

oh

I see

[elfin hull]

Oh bruh.

[snow ruin]

This is explained in the pins, really

[shell oriole]

yea I got lost in the pins

[dawn nimbus]

I am also grateful to someone who named a planet 'it has a predator' lopl

[shell oriole]

can't even find the datamined stuff

[snow ruin]

It's literally the link in the part where it says How do I do Purged by Fire

[shell oriole]

oh. that.

sorry my ADHD brain overlooked it on accident

[indigo falcon]

still no eligibility for the tier 4 item?

[shell oriole]

you need to kill the thiungs that spawn when you break the eggs

[ancient ferry]

222 is not enough

[indigo falcon]

it's plenty, you are well over the number needed

[ancient ferry]

So what do I have to do now?

[indigo falcon]

at this point I would see if youo can clear out the various game caches. #964865106334875698 message

if that still doesn't help, you could 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

[indigo falcon]

it is possible that the next hotfix could reset things for you, probably coming sometime in the next week

[ancient ferry]

Then I will finish the expedition. Thank you.

[indigo falcon]

ok! I am sorry I could not help more

[dusty elm]

I just died for the first time. Wind storm took me up in the sky and I fell. How do I get my inventory back?

[indigo falcon]

find your grave marker, go to it, you get all items back

the marker should be at the location where you died (where you fell I guess)

[dusty elm]

Got it, thank you !!

[dawn nimbus]

Yesss I got to name a planet near the expedidion 😂

Kind of surprised it was still not discovered :S lol

Hmm there are already 15 bases on it lol

[dusty elm]

I'm working on milestones in phase 5. When doing the purge optional milestone, do I have to kill only in that planet system? Can I be in phase 4 planet system, but have purge by fire milestone (phase 5) selected and get credit?

[karmic valve]

yes

[snow ruin]

As long as you're in the expedition it doesn't matter which system you're in for Purged by Fire

[fair badge]

You can do your part anywhere!

[indigo falcon]

do your part on a paradise planet, on a dead planet, anywhere you like! just bring some juicy grubs if there are no local lifeforms. (but even dead planets have biohorrors 😛 )

[elfin hull]

I've been farming on the planet named Helldivers, I think it's in the phase 4 system.

[dusty elm]

Great to hear! Found a really good abandoned building and turned it into my own slaughterhouse 😂

[fickle night]

is it better to open Salvaged Glass and sold module for nanites in Expedition, or is it better to bring the Salv Glass to Main Save later?

[dusty elm]

You were talking about it earlier the ODS count in the lower left hand corner, I don't see that on my screen. I am seeing I've completed Phase 1 through 4 in the Purge though. Not 100% sure I'm really getting credit though.

[fickle night]

if i claim this, can i later get this on QS in Main Save?

[stoic wing]

I was one walker of the milestone then someone disabled my planets sentinels is there any other planets where I can get it fast?

[indigo falcon]

discoveries tab, lower left, what does it say about the connection?

[indigo falcon]

go to any other planet with sentinels, or go to any aggro sentinel world and pick up a grav ball, or look for player bases from drop zone 4 space station that say either walker or operations centre in the title

[stoic wing]

Drop zone 4 got it thanks :)

[indigo falcon]

it might be useful to turn multiplayer off so someone else doesn't show up and shoot your walker

[stoic wing]

Wait there is nothing on the drop zone 4 planet or at least I can’t see any of the player bases

[indigo falcon]

from the space station you don't see any player bases in the list?

[stoic wing]

I have done looking form the space station as they never load for me

[indigo falcon]

that's the only place you can see them and have them load in properly. any other bases would only be visible because of other players in the lobby, that data could be cached after they leave it and the base not able to be loaded

[stoic wing]

I mean I can try

[snow ruin]

@torpid tulip #nms-expedition message is probably a spoiler you should try to cover up a bit to be courteous to other people (hint: || on both sides), but probably, yes.

[torpid tulip]

ok sorry

[snow ruin]

There can be a lot of things that are not modules you can sell for nanites, so the salvaged glass is more fluffy than if you just open them up before bringing stuff to the main save. If you're just after nanites then it's just as good, if not better, to get them in the expedition save, as they should transfer over when you end the expedition through the anomaly console.

[indigo falcon]

yeah sell them now, saves you a slot of transfer stuff

[fickle night]

gotchaa thankyouu

[indigo falcon]

huh so these new skylight pieces, they don't reqiure any glass at all, very convenient. I mean, I have a bunch of frostwort just in case, but this is easier not to lug those things around

[fickle night]

wait, so, if i copy my Ship/Multitool, it'll get transfered aswell the one installed?

[indigo falcon]

if you copy it, that costs you nanites on the receiving end, and yes, you can make one more more copies of the equipped ship and multitool

[fickle night]

ah i mean, the Tech n modules, will it get copied aswell along with the ship/MT?

[indigo falcon]

oh. yes you get all tech. you don't get cargo (for the ship).

[fickle night]

awesomeeeeee

thankyouuu

[snow ruin]

Just the tech installed in the MT/Ship at the time of copy is copied. The stuff in the cargo of the ship is not copied.

[fickle night]

got it

[soft pilot]

what do you guys all mean by ''copying you MT\ship?'?

[snow ruin]

Link from the pins: #nms-questions message

[soft pilot]

I see, ok thanx

So basically, if I had started expedition from within an existing save, i could have started with modules.

I have decided that once expedition is over, my expedition save will be come my main save, anything i should know"?\

[indigo falcon]

well once you get to the anomaly on the expedition save you can get the items. not before

[indigo falcon]

you'll keep everything. it's a great way to start out.

[soft pilot]

get the items? i already have them, what is there to get if i just keep playing the same save?

[snow ruin]

Not really. Once you end the expedition it'll just become a normal save since you started a new save

[indigo falcon]

if you start an expedition from an existing save, you may place some items in a stash at the anomaly for the expedition version of the save to get. but that save cannot get them until it has access to the anomaly

[soft pilot]

my main save is quite old, rich and has just about everything, i figured i best do a new one

very little to do when u already have all the top ships, freighter, bases everywhere and all that

[vagrant badger]

Reset video settings, if old save crashed

[indigo falcon]

wrong channel? unless you were replying to someone earlier (ping them?)

[soft pilot]

right now trying to build up my sentinel capital freighter, it's a lot of work to get enough salvaged frigate modules.

[indigo falcon]

you could bump up your standing and rely on freebies from envoys

[snow ruin]

But where's the fun in that?

[fickle night]

Can the increase-standing items (example: korvax effigy) get transferred to main save?

[summer kraken]

Basically any item can be transferred.

[snow ruin]

Yes, but you should probably have items that are more useful to transfer. But it should be possible

[summer kraken]

It is.

The only things that can't be transferred from my findings is companion eggs. Likely not the only thing locked to Expeditions.

[snow ruin]

Mission critical items and companion eggs can not be kept.
from #nms-questions message

[indigo falcon]

coming into adrift there was something people couldn't send in, I forget what it was, just becauseit was a mission critical item. sneaky devs

[soft pilot]

@indigo falcon hehe I already maxed 3 guilds and it is how i get salvaged frig mods, i hop systems, check missions and grab those who reward you with salvaged mods and check guild guys see if they provide one.

[indigo falcon]

I see you know all the tricks 😉

[soft pilot]

i still have to work on the pirate guild but i feel very insentive to doing so.

[indigo falcon]

can take some missions that don't require you to lose rep wth anyone, be choosy a bit

smuggling ones are ok for example

[soft pilot]

also the systems with pirate guild are few and far apart

[fickle night]

is Purged Ribs useful or needed? or is it safe to sell these?

[indigo falcon]

you got the milestone? then feel free to sell

[fickle night]

yeah got the milestone

noice

moar mone :3

[ashen shore]

I've done my part, I said 3 I belive in youa and 4 you got this

[shut mango]

Anywhere known where there is a predator with more than 12 pav?

Somewhere preferably near the 3rd dropzonw

[indigo falcon]

check the pins for several options

[shut mango]

Thank you!

[faint mesa]

Just so I understand this: if I claim the minotaur parts as milestones rewards in the expedition... I don't need to pay for them in other saves? Is that so?

Because that's what happened apparently 😅

(Oh, nice progress on tier 5)

[indigo falcon]

once you claim them on some save, any save, it is account wide. that is special for these mech parts, ordinarily this only applies to end phase or end expd rewards

[faint mesa]

Oh ok, thanks! I found it weird that they were available on the normal QS shop once I got the blueprints in the expedition. Makes sense.

Thank god, that's a lot of QS saved lol.

[indigo falcon]

yeah that feature was announced in the update post

[faint mesa]

Nice, thanks. Looking forward now to that flamethrower...

[indigo falcon]

ayup! by wednesday is my guess

[faint mesa]

Tuesday is mine, but perhaps even sooner, we are progressing fast it seems

[indigo falcon]

we'll see 🙂

[lusty slate]

I'm going with late Monday.

[snow ruin]

I just force fed them to Cronus for nanites

[near mica]

whats the %

[snow ruin]

You can use !tier in #bot-spam

[fickle night]

eh? what's Cronus?

[snow ruin]

The glutton in the Anomaly

[wraith junco]

Watermelon head guy

[ashen shore]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

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

[fickle night]

awhhh i already sold all of em for money xd

[ashen shore]

Bout 40%

We're making .45 progress per hour

Closer to 43.25

[fickle night]

39%

[near mica]

nicee

[ashen shore]

Nicewe

[near mica]

been hunting for an s sentinel to bring back from exp, found only a few c ;.;

[faint mesa]

He gives us a hard time, but we do it too.
Can't count the amount of times I gave raw meat, faecium cakes, and worse things...

[snow ruin]

If only Cronus was willing to take stuff in bulk

[faint mesa]

"Force fed" is a very precise description

[ashen shore]

Expiditions are always a good time to sentinel hunt but remember orange is still the most common colour followed by red

Still need good rng

[fickle night]

sentinel ship? or the multitool?

[near mica]

ship

[ashen shore]

Ye

[near mica]

got a B for now

but thatsa from a base somebody added 😄

[soft pilot]

yesterday I left a large amount of runaway mould to be processed in large refiner on my freighter, i just got on to get my nanites, moulds all gone and no nanites. Is that a bugt or is it that u just loose your stuff if you don't stay on freighter to collect?

[faint mesa]

Very old bug

[ashen shore]

Refiners are best to stand by until they finished always been this way

[soft pilot]

😦

[indigo falcon]

do not leave stuff in your refiner unless you are right there to babysit it the entire time

[soft pilot]

oh well, not that big a loss

[faint mesa]

Don't leave stuff refining unsupervised lol.

[soft pilot]

now i know

[indigo falcon]

freighter, ground base, wherever. just don't.

[ashen shore]

I just did eggs for the nanites
500/10

[soft pilot]

was 9k moulds so not quite 2k nanaites

[indigo falcon]

what did I do? some eggs, some hadal cores, some scanning, some upgrades sold off, some discoveries uploaded, some data shared at the anomaly with the two npcs. it was plenty in any case

[soft pilot]

oh no more 🙂

[indigo falcon]

now I havea mould farm which I don't need but shrug

just redid the base so it sucks a lot less for visitors. still not really special but that's ok

[soft pilot]

I've yet to build bases on this save

my base is sentinel freighter

[ashen shore]

You shouldn't build bases unless it's to help people but I do anyways lol

[indigo falcon]

I build osme bases for me (those don't get uploaded) and a couple for players (those do)

[soft pilot]

how does it help other players?

[indigo falcon]

onemarks a sentinel pillar and a mould farm

[ashen shore]

Farms or refiners

[indigo falcon]

one marks an ops centre with a walker

[soft pilot]

k

[indigo falcon]

(and the walker one has a decen tplatform for shooting things and getting cover)

[dusty elm]

HI, it says: Online Discovery Services Active.

[ashen shore]

I discovered people hate looking for buttons so I'ma add one to my planet 1 base lol

[soft pilot]

i've installed an Interstellar Scanner on freighter, but when i look at systems on the map, i don't really see much new info from it

[indigo falcon]

then you're probably getting credit.

[ashen shore]

There may be some lag tho

[dusty elm]

🙂 Awesome

thank you

[indigo falcon]

the point of those is you warp into a new system. call in the freighter. scan the system. now you know about all of the planets, and can claim the discovery (if it's first contact)

otherwise you'd have to set down on each one to getthe credit and to have discovery info in the tab

[soft pilot]

that is not done with the Interstellar Scanner 🙂

interstellar scanner says it gives u more info on systems about conflicts and economy

[indigo falcon]

planetary scanner

[soft pilot]

but i dont see any info that i could not see before

[indigo falcon]

is it the item you place or the tech upgrade that just gives you economy / conflict?

[soft pilot]

tech

[indigo falcon]

oic

[soft pilot]

already had the planetary thing

[indigo falcon]

if you hve the confict and econ scanner in your starship you will not get anything new

but you will be able to warp with the freighter and see on the map there, which can be useful

[soft pilot]

ok thanx

i wouldnt warp with freighter as i like to get my combats every few systems, especially those with pirate freighters

[indigo falcon]

you can get really great hyperdrive distance with the freighter, not sure what the max is these days though

[soft pilot]

still looking for an S pirate freighter

[indigo falcon]

anyways, whatever you prefer

[soft pilot]

not that there will be that much diff betwen an A and an S

when you switch freighter with a better one, does it also tranfer all the bulkhead upgrades that you've added?

[indigo falcon]

no.

[soft pilot]

ok then I'll proly just stay with the A then

I've added more than 20 bulkheads to it so far

[indigo falcon]

well then you might reconsider warping with the freighter 😄

[cerulean olive]

You can store tech to reuse in another freighter

[soft pilot]

maybe 🙂

@cerulean olive yes i know, but it is the added storage i was concerned about

[ashen shore]

This is a thousand hour game you'll get more storage

Don't be concerned

[soft pilot]

already have over 800 hrs

[ashen shore]

Exactly so you already know more storage will come

[soft pilot]

but this expedition save is to be come my new save

what i should know and what i actually remember are 2 very different things hehe, getting to be an old gamer, with memory issues 🙂

[indigo falcon]

it's just that this game has a lot of complicated mechanics which are often tweaked

[ashen shore]

Back in my day we upgraded our freighter with regular base salvage modules

[soft pilot]

i usually play maybe a month or so a year, then come back after a year to try the new stuff that's been added

@ashen shore yeah that was easy 🙂

i just had a look at what's needed to get colours for freighter, a bit insane hehe

[ashen shore]

The expedition gives you enough to buy one colour lol

By requirement 6000 nanites

I save my nanites for ship cores

[soft pilot]

well i made over 100k nanites so far but 50k went into upgrading my interceptor from A to S

[indigo falcon]

it took a chunk of time to unlock all that on one save, I guess on two

not feeling like doing it for saves 3,4,5

[ashen shore]

I don't bother repainting the freighter really

[soft pilot]

i dont mind redoing it all gives me something to chase after

[karmic quiver]

Hey guys I’m new to the channel 👋🏾

[ashen shore]

Who care lol

[ashen shore]

Hello have you done your part

[karmic quiver]

Not yet that’s why I’m here

I’m wondering if anyone else hasn’t started yet. I play in VR and thought a co-op would be cool.

[indigo falcon]

welcome, and you may find a bunch of useful (though spoilery) info about the expedition in the pinned messages in this channel.

[karmic quiver]

Or just playing with others in general

That I don’t mind 😅 but thanks for the heads up 💪🏾

[ashen shore]

Vrs cool
I use to troll with it some years ago lol

If I seen someone giving away stuff I beat em up lol

[indigo falcon]

I've completed the run, and am just staying in to reupload a couple of bases for players.

if you don't get any takers here, you could post in #nms-lfg-or-trades but be aware that it's low traffic and you will need to be patient.

[soft pilot]

so far on this expedition i killed 3100 horrors and 1700 sentinels, so i most likely did my part?

[near mica]

and mine 😄

[soft pilot]

🙂

[indigo falcon]

that 150-kills-a-day cap means there it always more of your part to do...

at least, until tier 5 completes!

[snow ruin]

HG adding a T6 when?

[soft pilot]

which should be done sometime tomorrow

[ashen shore]

Not quite

[near mica]

btw when they bring an exp back, is it the same rewards, or do they change some colors on ships and stuff ?

[ashen shore]

.45 a hour gives us completion by Monday morning
Unless it speeds up over the weekend or slows down even

[indigo falcon]

the rewards are usually the same for the redux

[near mica]

and how manyexp do they ten to bring back in a year 😄 ?

[indigo falcon]

they usually rerun the expeditions for that year

[ashen shore]

I need adrift for the colour black alone lol

[near mica]

😄

[karmic quiver]

Lfg?

[indigo falcon]

looking for group!

[karmic quiver]

Ahhhh

[ashen shore]

I thought it meant looking for gek

[indigo falcon]

that would be an extremely low traffic channel 😛

[fickle night]

sadly downloading bases kept on failing 🥹

[winged trellis]

FOR DEMOCRACY!

[hollow kraken]

How do you make that many nanites?

[fickle night]

ah i got bugged

[ashen shore]

ODs is having trouble with the traffic it's fine

[snow ruin]

Mostly playing the game and in the end opening all the salvaged glass you get from "taking out" sentinels and selling the modules you get from those

[fickle night]

do Glyph from expedition got transfered to Main Save?

[next sparrow]

just out of curiosity anyone who started the expedition today would have 4 out of 5 optional community ones done?

or would they also have to wait 3 days for each community one

because i'm thinking to start the expedition late next time, when most of the community stuff is done if it works that way

[indigo falcon]

if they did 200 kills they would get all 1-4items

immediately

[next sparrow]

nice

i must have done like 1500 kills by now

[ashen shore]

Ive done 4000 before I knew about the cap

[indigo falcon]

well there is a max of a certain nnumber per day that are counted towards a given tier's progress

[soft pilot]

seems there's no point in destroying pirate freighter once you've destroyed it's engines and big guns, like once u talk to captain and get the 6.7m units there is nothing left to gain right?

[next sparrow]

i've been doing around 50 kills every 12 hours or something for the past 14 days

[ornate wing]

If you kill the freighter you get tech for your freighter.

[soft pilot]

ah didn't notice that, will go do it and see thanx

[lethal mirage]

Does the atlas boss fight count for the expedition?

[indigo falcon]

no, the expedition is self-contained and stuff like that doesn't carry over 😛

[next sparrow]

can one never finish the expedition and live inside it forever? or after 5 weeks will it auto end?

[lethal mirage]

Dang

[lethal mirage]

It'll auto end

[indigo falcon]

it will end after Sept 2

[next sparrow]

oh so you're put back into your normal save even if you didn't click to go back or finish expedition

[indigo falcon]

you will get prompted to do so

[next sparrow]

and when you finish expedition you can bring back inventory to main save?

[indigo falcon]

if you put items into the stash at the anomaly terminal from the expd version of the save, then yes

[next sparrow]

because i've been saving all the multi-tool ship upgrade and inventory upgrade slots to bring them back

[next sparrow]

right now thats greyed out

[lethal mirage]

Don't those apply to all the saves?

[next sparrow]

so it's only if the expedition is finished? like i need to collect the rewards inside the expedition?

[next sparrow]

no

[lethal mirage]

You cant grab the multitool class upgrades on another save? Thought you could

[indigo falcon]

you should collect them, regardless. if you want to remain in the expedition until theend, leave one unclaimed until the last minute

[next sparrow]

the class upgrades got auto applied in my expedition to my expedition multitool

so i wouldn't know how to grab them

but the multi-tool slots, you can decline to use

and then stay as an inventory item

[next sparrow]

yeah i just mean i cant transfer inventory, and someone told me its because i didn't collect the final phase rewards

i collected the final phase rewards from my main save, but that doesn't count

[soft pilot]

@ornate wing i just killed the freighter, didnt get anything for doing it. 🙂

[next sparrow]

but i am trying to stay in the expedition until the community phase is done, before i collect everything

[indigo falcon]

just a few days to go then

[next sparrow]

yeah i hope it lets me transfer inventory

it's all greyed out now even though everything is completed

[indigo falcon]

make sure you have things in the exosuit inv, not the ship inv, I don't remembre if you get to select or not

[next sparrow]

i was hoping i could select all inventory and even deconstruct tech from multitool, exosuit and ship

and switch things around

lol

if not, it's going to be difficult

to bring back everything

[indigo falcon]

I would package those up just to be sure, and again put them in the suit inv. but I'm not sure what's needed

[next sparrow]

eh... suit inventory is very small

[indigo falcon]

go buy some slots 😛

[next sparrow]

because i didn't use the slots

lol

[indigo falcon]

but also check a guide on line to see what's really required

you can buy slots at each space station and then call in the anomaly to th system and buy there too

so if you visited 20 space stations that's 40 slots

[next sparrow]

if they let me exit the window, and re-enter it and keep adding things, that would work too

[indigo falcon]

I would check a guide for this sort of thing

[next sparrow]

https://youtu.be/VEKDGhdWz-Y?t=203

lol

it looks like it does multiple inventorys?

but you need to unpackage tech, plus it looks like you can exit the window and then go back to it

[crimson trail]

I am gone for 1 day and you guys are rocking 42% already

[ashen shore]

My emotional support payed off they are Inspired

[crimson trail]

Official Expedition spirit animal

[shrewd onyx]

Seems to be going up at about 1pp/hour

[crimson trail]

Very good, I will alow it

😉

[finite steeple]

i have optional tasks to "complete liquidation goal"s. how do i do those?

[ashen shore]

Kill

[finite steeple]

kill what. they have no progress bars that i can find

[ashen shore]

Yeah just kill 200 monsters

[lethal mirage]

Kill 200 total (or 150 per day, I don't know if that's been changed yet) biological horrors or sentinels

[indigo falcon]

so first off, there is a minimum number of total kills you must have (sentinels, biohorrors, bugs in any combination) to get items 1-5for free

the total is 250

so do that.

after that, you shoul dsee that the tier 1-4 items unlock for you, while tier 5 is "in progress"

[lethal mirage]

Basically: bugs or bots

We dropping on hellmire or the creek

[indigo falcon]

for the tier 5 item, you can contribute each day to the progress bar by killing up to a daily cap, we think 150, of the same hostiles in any combination

and over some days it will be unlocked, much like quicksilver items are unlocked by all the players together

hope that helps, @finite steeple

[ashen shore]

There is no minimum they just want you to contribute
Run!!!!!!

[indigo falcon]

[finite steeple]

so how do i tell how many ive killed?

[indigo falcon]

for sentinels or biohorrors, you can select the catalogue tab, click 'milestones', then 'mercenary' and note the numbers there, then check again later after some shooting

this cap is not advertised by hello games and they probably don't want you to figure out when the cutoff is

just play and enjoy, if you're bored then stop, that kind of thing

but being unruly gamers, we have to try to game this too 😛

[ashen shore]

[bold nebula]

I think I found the relatives of the brood mothers

They are so damn huge

Refrence on how huge they are

[crimson trail]

Scary

[bold nebula]

I'm beside the bug 🐛

[indigo falcon]

I found some nice crystal-butt bugs, didn't adoptany though. maybe back on the main save

they are cuties

[bold nebula]

The glyphs for anyone interested

[bold nebula]

Excuse me. CUTE!?

[indigo falcon]

yes. C. u. t. e. as in adorbs.

rats, I have no screenshots of them or I'd put one

[indigo falcon]

I wonder if I should report this planet's name (it's named after a political campaign in the united states) as inappropriate. probably eh

should keep all that crap out of the game

[soft pilot]

i would

does it start with M ? 🙂

[ashen shore]

Everyone is welcome to their own beliefs imo, they have the power to ban words and don't
Just don't land on the planet

[soft pilot]

yeah but they can keep that crap for their real life game 🙂

[neat latch]

definitely should.

[soft pilot]

i'm a very political person but i do not bring that in games i play.

[ashen shore]

I hope you see how that's a hypocritical statement
Respecting everyone and their beliefs is a two way street

Sean / hello games has the power to ban words & phrases if they wish to and they do not

[neat latch]

and its our responsibility to report words or bases that we don't deem fit for the game.

Hypocritical or not.

[indigo falcon]

not going to discuss, and don't care which campaign, any of them are gonna get reported.

[indigo falcon]

they rely on user reports for a lot of things. I'm Doing My Part

[ashen shore]

This is the PvP discussion in a different outfit
Sean has the power to turn PvP off by default as he did for omega expo but he does not

[soft pilot]

I've seen it many times through years of gaming where people would bring religions or political alighments to troll and harass other people.

[indigo falcon]

I'm in my discoveries looking for that one crystal butt beetle. Can't find it in this list, it could be on a different save. But ran across those planet names and decided to take the time.

[soft pilot]

what's a ''crystall butt beetle'' ?

[indigo falcon]

pretty sure he does not approve of griefing however, which happens regularly to new players.

[ashen shore]

Sure but PvP is intended and expected as he chooses not to make the change to a automatic off

Of course I'm not really talking about PvP it's just a similar conversation that the basic anologoy can apply to multiple things

[neat latch]

Umm... LOL! I think the new bugs added in the game.

[indigo falcon]

yeah it's one og the new "beetles" which has a crystalline rear end

they can be very cool looking

[neat latch]

yeah! especially the glowing ones.

[soft pilot]

i saw some huge beetles on a planet yesterday like many times bigger than my ship but they didnt have crystal butts hehe

[neat latch]

😄

[indigo falcon]

and I had found one that was very nice but did not screenshot it nor do I remember where it was

[neat latch]

i have one screenie but it's not from the expd.

😦

[soft pilot]

i killed one, it took quite a bit

[neat latch]

so no share here.

and it's not a crystal back either.

methinks

[indigo falcon]

and in the meantimem some wise*ss renamed their system to "forestbat 8.3" and I have no idea what it used to be, ugh

welp not on this save, after going through like 50 systems, sheesh

that's it, giving up

[neat latch]

What are you looking for?

[indigo falcon]

that one cool beetle in my discoveries

[neat latch]

Ooh!

[soft pilot]

i wish we could save specific planet in a sort of notebook in game where you can add info on why you kept that planet

[next sparrow]

if everyone went around naming a planet the same political word it would be a detriment to the game even if you stood by that political position it represented imo

[ashen shore]

You can add to wonders and nickname it

[next sparrow]

planets imo should have unique names

[wintry void]

Thats what base computers are for

[indigo falcon]

I haven't tried to report comm balls, there's been some of them too but they are not as obnoxious as an entire planet I guess

[ashen shore]

Hold L button to add to personal wonders

[indigo falcon]

yeah there has been some buginess with wonders getting overwritten

[soft pilot]

oh i guess, i pretty much never think of using base computers

[indigo falcon]

so I've avoided that for now (overwritten from expd save -> main save)

I've already got 7 (?) bases in the expd save...

*at least 7

[soft pilot]

is there a limit on number of characters you can have in a name for a base computer's description?

[indigo falcon]

yes but I don't know what the limit is

I've hit it before though

[next sparrow]

if NMS devs really wanted to crack down on names, rather than banning words, they would rate limit certain names, meaning you can't have more than 1-30 planets named the same thing or something. this would also be a solution.

[indigo falcon]

so all those people naming a planet after their sweetheart, they're gonna be screwed 😛

[next sparrow]

nah they get to keep the planet

just can't name 1000 planets the same thing

so it's less likely other people will run into planets named the same thing and have their immersion always ruined

[neat latch]

yeh

[next sparrow]

it's just a possible solution - rate limiting names

[indigo falcon]

I know of at least one person who would name every... what was it, paradise planet? after his daughter

something like that

[soft pilot]

I don't think I've ever named a planet 🙂

[indigo falcon]

anyways rate limiting names doesn't solve it, just tack on an extra word and that's that

[next sparrow]

yeah but the rate limit isn't applied to all people naming things, just to specific names themselves

[indigo falcon]

so-and-so 2024 frozen planet

[soft pilot]

only things i've named is my ships, pets and freighter i think

[indigo falcon]

etc

I used to name some ships and maybe one freighter

planets? might have named like 2.

critters? mmmm. nah

[next sparrow]

so if NMS devs are like this political name is already across 500 planets, we can rate limit that specific name etc.

[ashen shore]

I named a whole region lamb's confederacy 😂

You'll know it's my area if you ever come here took forever

[soft pilot]

you can rename regions??

how?

[indigo falcon]

you just name the systems in the region is all

[ashen shore]

Each system in the region
Not the region itself

[indigo falcon]

you can map them all out via glyphs if you're systematic about it

[next sparrow]

you can rename systems and planets i think

[soft pilot]

hope it was a small region hehe

[ashen shore]

You cannot enter the region without the lamb looking over your shoulder

[indigo falcon]

cultiist 😛

[soft pilot]

see didn't even know you could rename systems as well

[next sparrow]

in the past you couldn't rename anything

but now i think you can actually edit names after already applying a name

[indigo falcon]

when I was looking throug hall the fauna it kept prompting me to rename and upload

[next sparrow]

which is cool

[indigo falcon]

good it didn't have voice to text and automatic parsing of my replies 😛

(joking aside, it is nice that renames are now possible. one of those two planets I did recently rename, since it's no longer accurate, I named base don color palette which has now changed)

huh 44%, might hit 50 by my tomorrow morning

[swift fern]

Anyone know of a planet with very aggressive predators?

[ashen shore]

Same planet the phase is on
Tiger dog looking thing

[swift fern]

Makes sense. Thanks

[lusty moon]

are there such things as predators that look really cute or friendly but are super aggressive?

[ashen shore]

Yes

[lusty moon]

those teeth though

its smiling

[ashen shore]

Yes it's happy the gek first spawn will rise again

[fair badge]

...

That dark.

[ashen shore]

[fair badge]

I mean.

[lusty moon]

Its eyes are closed too 😂

[fair badge]

They destroyed a planet for the hell of it.

[crimson trail]

Very teethy

[fair badge]

And enslaved a whole race.

Why'd we want that guy back-

[indigo falcon]

there's a bunch in the pins in here if needed

[lusty moon]

at this point idk if sentinels are good or bad. I rely on them for money and dont really have anything against them

I used to hate them a lot more

[fair badge]

Sentinels are just cop bots.

[neat latch]

I mean...

[lusty moon]

Its hard to say if they are good or bad

[jovial arrow]

coords i want it please

[lusty moon]

Since they want to preserve land

[neat latch]

Technically speaking they are good but for us they aren't

[fair badge]

Well they're technically good, cause their purpose is to eliminate any anomaly.

But we are, well.

An anomaly.

[lusty moon]

Bc of the cargo scan, if you dont have illegal stuff they wont randomly attack you

[fair badge]

I mean yeah, sounds logical.

[neat latch]

That isn't their purpose 😦

[lusty moon]

pirates are truly bad

[fair badge]

...

[lusty moon]

i wonder if sentinels hate them

[fair badge]

I-

[ashen shore]

I can't it's an endangered species

[fair badge]

They're criminals, of course they're bad-

[lusty moon]

imagine if sentinel teaming was a thing

[indigo falcon]

they aren'tgood, come on. "hey mine all the cpper you like and leave a huge gaping hole, whatever. but you touch one plant..."

[lusty moon]

or if there was a sentinel reputation, increasing a relationship with them

[lusty moon]

WHOLE ARMY SUMMONED 😂

[indigo falcon]

answring you in here with a reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/1e9oshs/i_found_scrat_from_ice_age_i_know_what_youre/

[fair badge]

Sentinel language learning.

Sentinels don't even speak.

[lusty moon]

Even if I have the sentinel ship, they are ok with it. It means they are nice enough for me to use their tech'

[fair badge]

What I wonder tho.

Is why corrupted sentinels do the same as normal sentinels.

Well, I guess they just have a new master.

[neat latch]

I have had sentinel behind me for mining copper xD

[lusty moon]

Idk the difference between them other than corrupted ones being stronger

[neat latch]

Maybe it was because I accidentally made a plant or two vanish...

in front of them

[fair badge]

Corrupted sentinels are corrupted by the Atlantideum.

[neat latch]

[fair badge]

Which is related to the void mother.

I think.

[lusty moon]

But technically, they are the same team?

[neat latch]

A bit of a confusion, thanks to HG's wordings.

Corrupted sentinel are actually corrupted.

[indigo falcon]

AH HA

[lusty moon]

Even if you attack them and run away, they forgive you

[neat latch]

the purple ones should technically be called dissonant sentinel

[fair badge]

Well since Sentinels come at you in a ship when you attack corrupted ones I'd say yes but I'd also say that might as well be cause there aren't corrupted sentinels ships yet.

[lusty moon]

very nice people indeed

[lusty moon]

but sentinel ships are found on corrupted lands... makes sense

[fair badge]

||But Autophages were Korvax that got Atlantideum in them too right?
Yet they're not like, mad. If anything they're very nice people.||

[neat latch]

Huh! Which sentinel came at you in a ship when you attacked the purple ones?

So far I've only seen the spooders.

[fair badge]

I mean like, if you attack corrupted ones and get in your ship.

[neat latch]

spoiler stuff.

[fair badge]

They keep chasing you but they send ships.

[fair badge]

Whoops.

[lusty moon]

corrupted sentinel ships when?

[neat latch]

Umm... I haven't gotten into my ship after shooting a purple sentinel, ever.

[lusty moon]

also imagine a corrupted sentinel pillar

[neat latch]

Dunno the interaction.

[fair badge]

Well... There ya go.

[neat latch]

The sentinel we fight at a settlement are the true corrupted sentinel.

[lusty moon]

I just kill all the corrupted ones every wave

[neat latch]

black frame, as I call them.

[lusty moon]

then it shows you a sentinel ship coordinate

[indigo falcon]

sentinel pillars on the dissonant worlds are just the regular ones (I need to check what guards they have around, I forget actually)

[neat latch]

in dissonant world those purple sentinel waves never lead to a pillar.

[fair badge]

Well there probably just aren't pillars for corrupted sentinels.

Maybe they work a different way.

[indigo falcon]

no but the worlds can and usually do have pillars nonetheless

ask me how I know 😛

[fair badge]

And like, what are the resonators drilling for?

[lusty moon]

Also when there is a sentinel distress signal, do you actually think the sentinel is seeking help and trying to be friendly?

[neat latch]

Ohh! hmm.

[lusty moon]

Nevermind scanning your cargo, that sentinel cares about himself more

[indigo falcon]

fine fine I'll go to that base and look around at what's on guard

[fair badge]

Sentinel only has duty.

[lusty moon]

if sentinels have multitools, they must exist in physical form

[fair badge]

I don't think sentinels now have any personality at all.

||Perhaps they used to when they were called something else, forgot about the name.||

[soft pilot]

my favorite pet

[indigo falcon]

let's not bring real countries into it thanks

[lusty moon]

THATS A PLANT

[soft pilot]

no

[lusty moon]

Sentinel music is also very funny, it becomes drummy

[crimson trail]

woah. That is amazing!

Are those from the new update?

[neat latch]

I have been looking for these for YEARS!

😦

[soft pilot]

oh, maybe i can find the system where i got it

[ashen shore]

I need a new nature pet
I ignored them when I was rushing main story & echoes content now I can't find them lol

[neat latch]

we have rules against political discussions and such claims in the server, rules that you've agreed to when joining. Let's follow those rules @lusty moon

[neat latch]

Nuuu! I wanna find.

[soft pilot]

brb will see if i can find which system\planet at that pet

[indigo falcon]

well this is weird. I scan for sentinel icons and I find only one at some building 492u away in the hud (I am at the dssonant pillar base now)

in photo mode outside of my little shack, looking around the pillar, nary a one

[remote thunder]

hi, so very sorry for the late reply; this is a weird one that i haven't been able to figure out so far. okay so. i've completed the milestone in expedition, and when i goto my main save, i see the egg to claim under expedition rewards. now, to complete the milestone that gives the egg, i did not have to hatch the egg at all, but i've seen another player that had to <#nms-questions message>, which seems to be your case as well - so if you've got the grub cocoon on you already, but the milestone itself didn't complete yet, and it's asking you to do so, then do so. the egg should be unlocked account wide anyway. (cc @wraith venture )

[neat latch]

I thought you were gonna send a beeeeeg message expalining the diffrence between corrupted and dissonant sentinel.

😦

good info though ❤️

[soft pilot]

is there a way to list all the fauna you have discovered?

[remote thunder]

i'm sorry, wasn't even catching up on what you guys were talking about, i was scrolled all the way up there

[indigo falcon]

FOUND ONE it's a corrupt quad.

[neat latch]

wait a second...

WAIT A SECOND!

This isn't #no-mans-sky

[indigo falcon]

in fact two of them. two corrupt quads. well that's nice

[neat latch]

I shall sit in the dark corner of shame.

[remote thunder]

come back here

lol

[neat latch]

Hehehe! I was under the impression this is that channel. lol!

[remote thunder]

in a single page, sorta? nope

[neat latch]

Silly me.

[soft pilot]

@neat latch ok if u want to find one of those pets like i showed, you have to go on a verdant planet, i have 3 variations of it from different places and they all say habitat is verdant

[neat latch]

vertdant specifically?

not any other lush type?

[soft pilot]

duno they all say verdant

[neat latch]

Oh! That's cool. Thank you friend entity, appreciate the help

[indigo falcon]

I'll check, i've got a couple of those in my discveries too (ugh back through the 50 systems, sigh)

[soft pilot]

that's another variant, i have 5 diff ones

[neat latch]

absolutely need

[soft pilot]

only other pet i have is the bug u get from the egg in expedition

[ashen shore]

My other pet Mr bird

[soft pilot]

🙂

i'd like to know which planets i found those on but i've been to 84 system during expedition so far, so would take a long time to find it

[silver lance]

hows the expedition? thinking of joining in. Havent played in a good while

[soft pilot]

but i'm sure i'll come across some again, if i do i'll pm you the system coords

[snow ruin]

Pretty fun, goes by fairly quickly as it gives you a fairly good weapon setup. The ship is a bit rubbish, though

[silver lance]

neat

finding a good ship isnt that hard iirc

[next sparrow]

it's good, now is the time to join since most of the community award part is done

so you'll get it without much waiting

[soft pilot]

yeah i dont like flying potatoes, i got me a sentinel interceptor as soon as i could

[snow ruin]

If you want to start it from a main save you can copy your ship over for nanites (the nanites payable in the expedition)

[indigo falcon]

desolate planet, cactus flesh, ancient bones, has one of those new floral critters. has storms too

so not just lush

[silver lance]

why is there a big floating eye

neat

[snow ruin]

Because Sean is watching

[soft pilot]

ok i thought it was only on verdants seeing all 5 of mine say verdant

[indigo falcon]

to keep an eye on you and make sure you Do Your Part

[indigo falcon]

yeah it's hard to know with the rng in this game being what it is

[silver lance]

sean = big brother
got it

[indigo falcon]

right, logging off the game again, no need to check anything else, right?

[soft pilot]

cya guys later,

[faint mesa]

Wh-what
Almost halfway through tier 5

Thank you all for doing your part ||(and mine)||

[silver lance]

i realize

i forgot most controls

[magic hazel]

ok so when i go to the expedition rewards, the liquidator parts say "already claimed" in my primary save, i didnt end it just to be sure

woops sent too soon

[snow ruin]

Yup, it's a bug as far as we know

[magic hazel]

aw damn that sucks lol i thought i needed to transfer the parts over

[snow ruin]

More people reporting it probably helps put it higher on HGs list

You can transfer the parts, but they should be buildable. Someone tried to buy them instead of claiming in the expedition, and I believe they said they could then build it outside the expedition

[magic hazel]

i do gotta go for a basketball game tho, ill try to report when its all over

[lusty moon]

Yeah thanks all for contributing and doing your part for the liquidators, while I sleep on all your toils. PS don't be like me 👍

[magic hazel]

oo ok

[magic hazel]

because i already have so many solar ship parts that i want to transfer including an s class reactor to make the perfect solar ship

[indigo falcon]

the experimental branch appears to fix this bug, it has been reported by testers

so wait for that hotfix to go around

[magic hazel]

im so excited to make my very own ship for the first time, LET ALONE an s class solar!

(do i need to make a payment of nanites/units to make a ship?) lol

[lusty slate]

...wait, I didn't think about looking for a solar part I want in the expedition while I wait.

[lusty moon]

i can't rn because Im waiting for these slow grandmas to finish the phase 5 liquidators 😭

[magic hazel]

ye theres a whole lot of pirate systems that have frequent solar ships around the expedition systems

[lusty moon]

I really want my own ship, ALL BECAUSE OF THESE SLOW PEOPLE 😩

[indigo falcon]

whose grandma you dissin', boy

[lusty moon]

every entities grandma, including the sentinels

[lusty slate]

Pretty sure there might be a few actual grandmas that play NMS...

[magic hazel]

surprise lore drop lol

[snow ruin]

Ship building has nothing to do with the expedition stuff, though. Maybe check for blunt force trauma?

[lusty moon]

Well yk I can't exit out of the expedition if i want everything free

[lusty slate]

You can pause it the log screen without ending and just come back.

[lusty moon]

But the ships you buy wouldn't save

[magic hazel]

pirate systems advise for solar ships and they are around the final rendezvous so teeechnically

[snow ruin]

Did you start a new save, or from the anomaly?
Either way ship building has no connection to the expedition beyond you maybe buying ships for ship parts you want to transfer

[magic hazel]

lol /j

[lusty slate]

Like, I'm a woman in my 40s myself, it's not a stretch

[lusty moon]

I started it from the anomoly, so ig its a lose lose situation now. People are stressed from my complaining, and I have to wait for them 😩

[indigo falcon]

plenty of elderly gamers around of whatever gender, some of 'em are likely nms players

[snow ruin]

You can go there without being in the expedition. Especially with glyphs

[snow ruin]

You know you can return to your main save without ending the expedition, right?

[magic hazel]

ye finnne im just so excited lol

[snow ruin]

You can go back and forth

[lusty moon]

So I can technically go back to the expedition when I am in the mainsave

[lusty moon]

ah ok

Also when you build your own ship, are the inventory slots going to be maxed?

Or is it random

[snow ruin]

I'd assume random, but someone in #nms-questions probably knows off the top of their head

[magic hazel]

ill ask my questions in the help channel now mb lol

[lusty moon]

time to gear my problems to someone else, you all can just start chilling

[snow ruin]

It's just a matter of whether someone probably knows it in the channel you ask, really.

[lusty slate]

Like based on the construction terminal, like SCs?

[snow ruin]

In the #nms-questions they'll often send people to #nms-expedition for those questions unless they already know the answer

[lusty slate]

Tier progression did kinda slow down. We'll still probably be finished by Tuesday regardless...

[snow ruin]

HG fixing it by making the goal exponential

[faint mesa]

They may have tweaked the rate lately 😅
Either that or travellers are really having a good time killing bugs / sentinels

[indigo falcon]

it's the weekend, might be more people playing

[snow ruin]

I would believe them changing the rate if we were closer to the end of the expedition

But we still have something like 50% of the time left

[faint mesa]

Yep, quite possible

[fickle night]

Uhhh.. Idk if it's a bug or not... But, is it normal when i go back to Primary Save, the Others Bases that're usually there are gone...? 🥹

[faint mesa]

But I think that's more or less what they aim with these community goals: an end more-or-less halfway of total expedition run
At least it seemed that way in past expeditions...

[snow ruin]

The bases from the expedition? Yeah, expeditions are separate from other save types

[fickle night]

Nonono, other player's bases from Primary Save

[snow ruin]

Do you have MP turned off or such?

[faint mesa]

ODS down perhaps. It happens...

[fickle night]

I disable MP sometime ago, but i already enable MP for a while and even do relog

[faint mesa]

You should still be able to see bases with MP disabled

[snow ruin]

Hmmmm. Weird. I don't know what would do it then.

[faint mesa]

Only way to avoid them completely is playing literally offline 😅

[indigo falcon]

I see other player bases, and I'm always in single player. that's just ods working right

[fickle night]

Phew ε-(´・｀) that's very reassuring xd

I was panicking that I'd lost other players bases xD

[snow ruin]

Fancy glyphing you did there ;P

[fickle night]

Glyphing?

[snow ruin]

A letter can be called a glyph, but glyhps include more than just normal letters, so your emoticon made up of several glyphs was fancy

[fickle night]

Ohh

It's just there on my phone's keyboard XD

Not the glyph

But the emote lists

(✒️＋🍍)＋(🍎＋✒️)＝PPAP

There's even this on the list xD

[winged trellis]

47%!!! Do your part!!!

[pure valley]

Trying to do the corrupt sentinals on Xbox , I’m on disonant world . Purple crystals , radiant shards etc but the sentinals are not corrupted , the text on the bottom right says that they swarm over this world , am I doing something wrong

[neat latch]

Ooh! cool, cool! thank you friend entity. I will need to keep searching it seems 😄

[indigo falcon]

please check difficulty settings and in particular 'enemy combat' and make sure it is set to standard

[pure valley]

Cheers I’d lowered the space combat

[indigo falcon]

I think it's just the ground combat ones you need to worry about (not creatures, the rest)

anyways, that typically sorts it for players with this issue

[acoustic jacinth]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@acoustic jacinth Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[pure valley]

Unfortunately sentinals are still normal ones , do I need to leave planet and return

[fickle night]

Relog?

[indigo falcon]

if the ground combat settings are all back to normal, then you might need to go elsewhere, save-exit-reload (oh and multiplayer off too before that)

[pure valley]

Ok will try

[indigo falcon]

on foot combat is the setting that usually controls this just fyi

[prisma gyro]

Afternoon peeps. Had a question. In the phase 2 expedition tab my infestation beta task is complete but says inventory full. I have plenty of room but still says that. Anyway of fixing this. I’m on switch.

[indigo falcon]

what class is your multitool, S by any chance? swap to another, then claim

[prisma gyro]

Oh. Ok thank you I shall try because yes it is

[indigo falcon]

heh heh known bug

[prisma gyro]

Yup that was it. Thank you very much

[cobalt shore]

Yay I'm done with the expedition! I started quite late this time.

[ashen shore]

48% and rising! Hello gang! o/ (pacing back & forth) Mmmmhmmmm (looking around the room) the usual suspects I see...
Is everyone doing their part???

[elder reef]

I contributed atleast 4% to tier one when the community thing wasn’t working

[ashen shore]

49% now, one from me! XD

[winged trellis]

Did anybody else avoid upgrading anything outside of the rewards for this expedition?

[lusty slate]

Yup. I copied my combat MT from my main and am tanking the MT slots to bring back and use on my staff.

[sacred axle]

um why did the last part of the liquidators just reset back to 0%

nvm i reset my game its ack to 49% that scared me

[tawny ether]

I sort of do that for all my expeditions ? I just do enough for the expedition. But I ended up killing about 2000 sentinels and horrors but not sure how many of the new bugs I killed ??

[ashen shore]

[stone void]

When starting an expedition from your normal save, can you send yourself a nutrient processor full of food in the anomaly kiosk thing?

[elder yarrow]

yes, but it doesn't keep the invenotry when you pick it up

[stone void]

Ah

Thanks

[karmic sparrow]

You can disable the ai in your quick settings and it'll just sit down where it is

[stone lotus]

man tier 5 is going really slow; I thought it'd be today

[faint mesa]

We closed tier 4 yesterday iirc and we are already at 50%... I think it's going fast 😆

[lusty slate]

Averaging 25% a day isn't too bad, actually.

[ashen shore]

Its slowed but not as bad as omega did

There is still time for a stall tho lol

[dusty elm]

Thank you, it worked!!

[ashen shore]

51%, I'm happy 🙂

[wraith junco]

I will never again start exp from main save. All Records got wiped... again....

[ashen shore]

make an auto save and carry it with you.

[faint mesa]

I was betting for tuesday, but perhaps we will see the flamethrower tomorrow... 🙂

[ashen shore]

My hope as well. 👍

[ashen shore]

What the hell

Mine didn't, wonder what causes it

We're doing about 25% on the average per day so.... yep

[shrewd onyx]

#bot-spam message – now at 51%, 47½h later. Slightly over 1 %age point per hour..

Should be done (if it continues at this rate) between 20:00 and 21:00 GMT on Monday.

[ashen shore]

Mine does fluctuaet from time to time but then resyncs back to the original number (51%, then 0% sometimes then back to 51% ) that is making me nutsy lol

[fluid flax]

Expedition round 2 completed on main save

I did my part 😎

[faint mesa]

It's ODS working as intended

[ashen shore]

Good Job Trooper!

cya on the bounce! XD

[shrewd onyx]

Strictly, 25 percentage points per day.

[ashen shore]

similar to the M11 Marauder in Starship troopers 3

[lusty slate]

Dammit, Wonders wipe bug still there?

[lilac crane]

i love fighting sentinels from these little towers

[wraith junco]

At least on ps4

[lusty slate]

I have been holding off on saving Wonders until that's fixed...

[ashen shore]

I use mesas alot. Let them come to me up there and I pick them off.
You can also use their own towers against them the same way'

[dusty elm]

I'm trying to find an Operational Center where the walkers are.
I spammed about eight maps and this one (I think ) is it. Am I right?

[lilac crane]

i accidentally deforested a desonant planet fighting sentinels lol

[ashen shore]

I did that on purpose.... XD

[lusty slate]

...I accidentally wipe out a clan of fauna when battling Sentinels

[ashen shore]

Slash and Burn policy is in full effect to fight the bug menace

[wraith junco]

Just do exp on main save and u should be good

[lilac crane]

i try to miss fauna, but it happens

[ashen shore]

meat for the pot XD

or to feed your living frigate

[lilac crane]

oh yeah true

[lusty slate]

I really try not to. But then I go into inventory to catalog the salvaged glass and see diplo chunks. Uh, whoops.

[ashen shore]

diplo chunks x 2 = mystery meat stew = combat bonus for a living frigate XD

usually

some frigates are different. Some have sweet tooths and some like veges...

[lusty slate]

I'm still working on cooking for the catalog. I have an entire storage full of animal carcasses. 😛

[ashen shore]

Ah nice

if you do anything. The more exotic anc complicated the recipe, the more valuable the food. In the very least you can sell it.

[elder reef]

Why does one arm look bigger the the other?

(Guy joke)

[ashen shore]

because it is not done yet

[ashen shore]

OH 😆

[hollow stone]

I'm sorry if this question has been asked previously. I started a game, then started an expedition. What would ending the expedition do ?

[ashen shore]

WHen "doing your part" goes overboard

[ashen shore]

not much... if you didn't do anything you wont get anything but you can start a new expidition at any time while it is still active.

[hollow stone]

I finished the expedition. I was wondering if I would not have access to everything I got during the expedition ? I understand if there are two saves, but if it's the same save, what happens

[ashen shore]

No you have access to all that. If you didn't complete the bonus "purge by fire" you will have to wiat to get that gear for your exocraft.

but whatever you got when you finished the expedition you should have on your main game and on this one.

[hollow stone]

I don't really understand what people mean by main game. Does starting an expedition from the Anomaly create a new save file ?

[thick umbra]

If you did start the expedition in the Anomaly ... than you did start it from your main save

[ashen shore]

when you finish an expidition, you can keep that expidition game as a regular game. It will save that game.
The "main game" expression refers to your main game that you play all the time.
It is assumed you have another game that is saved and you are playing the expiditon to get the stuff in it and then you ll have that stuff on your main game too

I havve a main game with over 2500 hrs on it. I have more than 9000 hrs in the game since 2016. I have a main game. 🙂

when I finish this expedition, I can save it as a new game and all the stuff I am given by finishing it will also be on my main game.

I still have my permadeath game. XD After I beat the "to live forever" acheivement, I saved it.

[hollow stone]

Makes sense. Sorry, read some confusing statement while searching 😄

I suppose I can go to the terminal, and end the expedition. I will keep playing the same save

[ashen shore]

Its ok, we all start somewhere. To never ask, is to never know.

[hollow stone]

I'm a new player, I just have this one 😅

[ashen shore]

welcome, save this game after you are done with the expidition then. Keep it and run with it. In the very least it got you started with soem neat new gear. And look for old expiditions. We have them from time to time. that way you cvan get some of the other stuff available.

[thick umbra]

may read this before you finish it #nms-questions message

[ashen shore]

^^^^yes plz read that

brb bio brk

[hollow stone]

I will, thank you both 👍

[sand marlin]

I'm waiting on that last optional reward to finish the expedition. Should only be a day or two. I'm real tired of the constant bug spawns.

[ruby hollow]

We’re almost there

Probably seeing Sunday or Monday

[ashen shore]

yes Monday at the latest

brb bratlings are afoot... (grandkids)

[dusky oracle]

help! i cannot find my grave

nvm I got it, I died when I was floating in the air, so I have to jetpack up to grab my items lol

[stone lotus]

how many item slots (not tech slots) do you get when you finish an expedition to return stuff to your main save?

[lusty slate]

24 item slots, 8 tech slots for transferring stuff back.

[stone lotus]

thanks

everything I plan of taking back with me to my main save once we reach tier 5

I know sentinel ships and possibly corrupt sentinels too don't count towards the doing your part thing, but I decided to challenge myself to get 100 interceptors basically (100 items that lead to interceptors) before we reached tier 5, and I got it

might hunt for some more echo locators since I could take more (the stacks in the expedition terminal are higher than your inventory)

[ruby hollow]

Congrats

Good work soldier

We have received intel that the mastermind behind this simulation is being suspicious again @stone lotus

[stone lotus]

good work for what? yeah I blew up 60 sentinel freighters but that doesn't count towards the tier lol

[ruby hollow]

Eh still cool

[lusty moon]

Why is the color of my ship gone off? It looks normal when looked at but when looking at upgrade modules, it’s so much brighter making the light Grey blend in with the white (its a custom metallic ship)

[ashen shore]

We hit 60% yet fellas

If we can hit 60 before midnight est there's a good chance this will he finished Sunday night Monday morning

[elder yarrow]

Hey, at least you had a blast doing it.

[wind harness]

On ps4 it says 55 percent atm.

[ashen drum]

Hey question: I understand that I don't want to "complete" the expedition until after all the rewards are unlocked so I can get them all. What is it that constitutes "completing" the expedition, then, so I can make sure not to do it?

[rose veldt]

You can do everything

You can't complete optional milestone from phase 5 even if you want to, the save will remain an expedition save until that one is not completed

[ashen drum]

Thank you! Last question: I noticed certain base parts don't seem to be available. Is there only a limited amount of them that I can use while on the expedition? Or is there a way to unlock them? I'm specifically thinking of the base teleporter.

[finite steeple]

evening gents

[wraith badge]

You can end the expedition by visiting the terminal on the Anomaly, doing that will mean you won't be able to claim the optional rewards and instead will have to buy the items with quicksilver. Best wait for the optionals to be completed before finishing the expedition.

[ashen drum]

👍 Thanks!

Any idea about the building parts?
#nms-expedition message

[wraith badge]

Visit the Anomaly back room you want the middle terminal on the left and a LOAD of Salvage Data (Buried Tech Modules)

[tough latch]

do I have to log into the world that I made the expedition to claim the community rewards? I already completed it

[viscid mortar]

Ok
So I already made a bug report however I wanna ask this to everyone.
Are you having trouble building the liquid parts for the mech cuz when I went to the guy to go claim it. It was already claimed and I can’t build them on my main save

[wraith badge]

Yes ... if you ended the expedition early via the terminal on the Anomaly then you won't be able to claim the rewards and instead you'll have to buy them with QuickSilver when the expedition ends on the 2nd Sept

If you started the expedition from an existing save and just switched back to the main save then you should be able to switch back to the expedition and claim the rewards.

[tough latch]

gotcha, thank you

[finite steeple]

okay that was weird. so.. a freighter just deleted in front of me while in combat.. it wasnt destroyed, the entire battle just poofed.

[tough latch]

a win... is a win?
