nms-expedition

[finite steeple]

it was my random. and i needed the freighter

[indigo falcon]

this is a known bug, it appears (from reports by players) that this is fixed in the experimental branch, please wait for the hotfix to go around, hopefully sometime this coming week

[ashen shore]

Unless your switch then we'll be getting 0.3 this coming week lol

[quasi sparrow]

what's the progress on the last community milestone?

nvm found it

[indigo falcon]

dunno, go to #bot-spam and run the command !tier

[ashen shore]

Don't do it fight the system turn on your game and check instead

[indigo falcon]

57%, not bad. guess we'll complete in a couple of days.

[ashen shore]

It slowed down once it hit 50 yeah

[finite steeple]

umm. how are you supposed to get 900 resources in a burst. i just drained my minotaur laser on a pile of rocks from full to nothing and it didnt do it

[ashen shore]

Hold the button without stopping

[finite steeple]

yes i literally just did that....

[indigo falcon]

you want an area with dense flora or minerals

[ashen shore]

You didn't stop when it started to get hot?

[finite steeple]

i picked up 2000 ferrite. never let go of the trigger.

[indigo falcon]

some fungal mould planets are like that, also cave entrances might have those egg shaped plants, lots of them right next to each other

[finite steeple]

i used the minotaur laser. it doesnt get hot

[indigo falcon]

you need also to pin the milestone, and watch the tooltip counter, not the resources your mining beam claims to gather

[finite steeple]

yeah its pinned already. it said i got 230 resources from the pile of rocks which makes zero sense

it also kept starting over once it hit over that

[snow ruin]

I think it may have something to do with getting the same resource vs getting different kind of resources. So something that's just carbon is a better target than something that is ferrite and chromatic, for example.
I don't know this, though

[indigo falcon]

no, you can mix them up and it's ok, best guess I've seen is that there's a cap on how much per second counts

[finite steeple]

fml. just saved a freighter i was sure was a class s. its class c. didnt know you could get a max sentinel dreadnaught that wasnt class s.

[indigo falcon]

sure, size/visuals/ and type don't matter as far as the class

[finite steeple]

oh well. its a 7 section. it will do until i find a pirate freighter...lol

[winged trellis]

What is the % number needed for Optional 5 take be completed?

I thought it was increments of 10%, but I guess I'm wrong. Steam Experimental shows it at 58% currently

[indigo falcon]

100%. expect it to take a couple days or so

it's all the players doing stuff together that moves the bar

[hollow kraken]

On the starting planet, look in the caves there are a lot of small carbon plants

[winged trellis]

...sigh...
I really just want to unlock that flamethrower already without paying in Quicksilver...

[indigo falcon]

in 2-3 dys it will be and we'll still have 3 weeks left of the expd

that's very fast honestly

[hollow kraken]

Same here I really want the flamethrower and then we can finally kill it with fire!

[finite steeple]

theres a flamethrower????

[indigo falcon]

liquidator mech item for iter 5

the right arm I guess it is

[manic dome]

Is there any way to get a quad egg? I'm a fairly newer player and wasn't here for any expedition except liquidators.

[indigo falcon]

ask a player who did that expedition, to give you one from their companion

[finite steeple]

so the minotaur is even more broken in combat now?

[indigo falcon]

feel free to adjust your difficulty settings if it's not challenging enough (but this is a combat focused expedition, it stand to reason they would giev some combat related rewards)

[winged trellis]

I gotta figure out why my minotaur keeps breaking lol

I've got it fully set up with the Sentinel pieces, but it seems every other breaking technology is an engine or an AI module...

[indigo falcon]

get some repair kits from the nearest pirate station, it will help in a pinch

huh you can actually buy oxy and sodium (nitrate) from the envoys, that's interesting. not that I need it, just taking note

[soft pilot]

i never use the minotaur to fight stuff anymore, that thing is like it's made of glass, always broken, whether you're in it or it's on auto and helping you.

also there's very limited number of mods for it, it needs shield modules

[finite steeple]

i mostly use it to fight sentinel walkers... its the only effective weapon against them it seems

[soft pilot]

i ewnjoy doing the walkers myself

[manic dome]

Never had that issue before. My minotaur just tanks everything and kills it fast.

[soft pilot]

odd

[finite steeple]

maybe your difficulty is set too high?

[soft pilot]

na it's at normal i think

[finite steeple]

well if you want to, im pretty sure you can turn off tech breaking in settings

[soft pilot]

i didn't set a difficulty on the expedition save so it's shoyuld be on normal default

na i do not want to do that 🙂

[indigo falcon]

lol just found a bunch of stuff in the 'hidden inventory' by clicking 'quick transfer' in an empty exosuit slot. 323 silver I didn't know I had, handy while I'm on the freighter 😛

[soft pilot]

to repair frigates?

what hidden inventory?

[finite steeple]

to build rooms. takes a ton of silver

[soft pilot]

oh yeah true

[indigo falcon]

no, I should build out two storage containers, then use the materials in them to build the teleporter (just spent time today to get to Master for explorers guild so I could pick up free salv frigate modules)

that will make the rest of the time on the expd save nicer.

[soft pilot]

i found a system with a whole lot of silver roids, not the big ones that takes forever to mine and gives little but the ones you can mine with one hit.

[indigo falcon]

the hidden inventory is where some items go when inv is full. check it out, have 'all inventories' selected in quick transfer and see what is not coming from the ship

I had a bunch of silver in storage but I didn't have it on me... I thought. apparently I did 😄

[snow ruin]

Can't you refine stuff into silver too? Or just buy it?

[indigo falcon]

yeah bu tI'm on the freighter now, see.

[soft pilot]

i spent quite a few day maxing out all 3 guilds, soon i will work on the pirate one

[snow ruin]

Gotta have that galactic trade terminal on the Freighter

[soft pilot]

@indigo falcon will check that out next time i'm in as i've had stuff disapear due to full inventory over last couple weeks

namely some things dropped in space when killing pirates

from those kinda drums\cannisters\

now my inventories are rarely full as they are a lot bigger

[indigo falcon]

yeah same, but early on I guess it was an issue and I didn't notice

[soft pilot]

through doing lots of missions and getting stuff from guild envoys i got a whole lot of ship\MT augments

[indigo falcon]

yeah I can start collecting those now too

[soft pilot]

actually the only missions i took where those giving u augments and salvaged frig thingies

[indigo falcon]

might as well get some expansions going in here

[soft pilot]

🙂

seeing i was picky with missions, i had to visit a lot of systems

so by doing that i also got lots of suit augments as well

[indigo falcon]

hmm it is not giving me the choice to use the exosuit expansion slot, why is that. it wants me to buy it

the item is rigth in my suit

[snow ruin]

The envoys giving away expansions is great for me

[soft pilot]

move it to ship then back to suit inventory

[indigo falcon]

same thing, it still just says 'upgrade exosuit (blah blah units)'

[soft pilot]

odd

u sure it's a suit augment you have??

[indigo falcon]

oh, it says I have to go to a terminal I've used before maybe. fine I'll try that (asked google)

[soft pilot]

oh yeah maybe, i usually buy the augment in each station so i get to use the augment after if i have some

[indigo falcon]

yep that was it, tried t one of the drop zone stations where I already bought the one

[snow ruin]

The units cost for suit upgrades is just so little it's basically nothing, IMO.
Makes it seem a lot in the beginning of the game, though

[soft pilot]

yeah, i almost always make at least a couple millions in each station, so my credits always slowly go up, i never notice the cost of suit augments

[indigo falcon]

it's not much but I feel stingy 😛

[soft pilot]

hehe

[indigo falcon]

now storaeg aug slots are a whole different matter

[soft pilot]

i have 170M credits and the only thing i spent it on is augments and frigates but less frigates now, i have quite a few

i try to get mostly pirate frigates

[fickle night]

wait, what's Hidden Inventory?

[indigo falcon]

well early on when your inv is full it can be that some items land in ... the ether. and can be retrieved later by the process I described

[soft pilot]

aparently some sort of hidden inventory where some stuff go to when your main inventory is full and u collect something

[indigo falcon]

(select an empty slot in exosuit inv, choose 'quick transfer', see what items pop up that are not in the ship, move them into the suit!)

I had some deuterium, gold, silver, something else I forget

I don't know details of how this works or for which resources it can work. nothing. just that sometimes you'll find stuff there

[soft pilot]

excpt my inventories are pretty large now, so if i did tell the game to show me ''all'' , I'd have a hard time sorting out which is which hehe

[snow ruin]

The game needs a search function...

[soft pilot]

yup it does

[indigo falcon]

you'll manage, I did

[snow ruin]

I mean, I do manage, that doesn't change that it would be better with a search function XD

[indigo falcon]

no, I mean for this one check. in general, sure I'd like to be able to search in some nice way, but I'm on console so it won't be nice no matter what

guess next session I'll collect up enough bits for a matter beam

after that, the various hyperdrive upgrades for star systems and that's it

[soft pilot]

also what i wish there was sometimes is a way to drop your whole inventory at once in a base container

[sacred mirage]

58%

[snow ruin]

With proper sorting

[soft pilot]

yeah sorting would also be nice

aromatic hydrocarbon ( methyl cymene 🙂

when you call your freighter to join you in the system you're in, does it use fuel?

and will it automatically use the fuel that is in it's inventory?

[sacred mirage]

no i think

[soft pilot]

and does it need fuel if you use it as a ship to hop to systems, I've actually never done that

[sacred mirage]

Yeah and the same fuel at the same amount as the starship

[soft pilot]

ok thanx

[indigo falcon]

since you can get free hypercores from the explorers guild it doesn't matter much

[soft pilot]

🙂 no, i have about 50 of them still

[indigo falcon]

it's only about getting the right hyperdrive upgrades in there so you can visit red, green blue star systems, that costs salv frigat emodules

[soft pilot]

yeah, i'm working on that but it'll take a while, i still need 24 salvaged frig mods

[indigo falcon]

I've written down which space stations have which things so I can go pick up at the beginning of the day (I assume they refresh that often).

[snow ruin]

Don't they refresh on every warp into the station XD

[soft pilot]

i wish i had done that

[indigo falcon]

probably but that feels a little exploity for me (like teleporting 600u away from curious deposits and back)

[soft pilot]

i've been through 86 systems so far since i started expedition

[snow ruin]

In the expedition I warped between two stations that gave out MT expansion slots

[indigo falcon]

in my list: two exosuit expansions, 5 salv frigate module giveaways, 2 storage augs from the explorer guild envoys. so that's a nice pickup once a day

[soft pilot]

yup

[indigo falcon]

I need to turn in a few more items for the merc guild and then catalogue those too. oof

tomorrow.

[elfin hull]

Man, the end is nearing us huh.

I wonder how many people still haven't done the expedition.

[soft pilot]

this was my very first expedition after 800 hrs of play 🙂 so i have missed quite a few

well 13 i guess

[tawny ether]

I hit a sodium patch that had a lot of flowers and just jiggled around

[fickle night]

I personally laser bunch of them till their health is low on multiple resources, then recharge the laser to full, and laser all of em at once

[burnt briar]

just mine a lot of things that drop the same item

such as dihydrogen crystals

or harvest loads of plants like star bramble or echindocactus

[snow ruin]

Think I got my 150 kills in. Mostly incidentally while doing some other things, of course.

[turbid folio]

Over 250 kills for me w the horrors

[fickle night]

woahhh how to get this?

[sacred mirage]

it's living ship?

[ashen shore]

At the quicksilver shop, buy the living egg (j think that's what it's called) and complete the mission

[wraith junco]

3200QS

[fickle night]

oh my xd i dont that much QS xd

[ashen shore]

Lol neither, never got one

[wraith junco]

1 weekend + 4 daily nexus missions

[fickle night]

this?

thankyou for the information :D

oh btw, what's good to do with Juicy Grub?

[fair badge]

You summon vile brood.

And fight boss.

The big ahh bugs you fight during the expedition.

[wraith junco]

Or cook food with it

[fair badge]

Yeh.

[fickle night]

is it more profitable to fight the vile brood or cook food with it?

[wraith junco]

It can drop cosmetic after the fight

[fair badge]

Well in the expedition there's no real point in fighting the vile brood.
I think you can get things from it only in main save.

[fickle night]

ohhhh

[fair badge]

But yeah you can get head cosmetics.

Bug heads.

The same heads you can put in your base.

If you've unlocked that already.

[fickle night]

can move the head to primary save?

[fair badge]

I think cosmetics are all common for both.

But I don't think you can obtain the heads in the expedition.

[fickle night]

okeiii thankyouu

then i'll just save up the grub and move it to primary save

[fair badge]

Yuh.

I think they're kinda rare drops tho.

So you'll probably have to fight plenty to get all the heads.

There are like, 3 or 4 you can get from that.

[fickle night]

i feel like i'd ran out of ammo first before getting it xD

in expedition i ran out of ammo yesterday xD

[fair badge]

Oh well-

[wraith junco]

Ammo is cheap as dirt

[fair badge]

Know that you can get free ammo at mercenary places in space stations.

[fickle night]

owaatttt can buy ammoooo??? O>O

[wraith junco]

U can buy ferrite dust that is used for ammo

[fickle night]

ooooohh

omg xD

i never noticed it before xD

thankyouuuu 😭

okeiii

[solid copper]

I've notice that my ship can not land on the ground if there is a landing pad nearby, it's kinda annoying during expedition where player bases are all over the place, is this an intended feature or bug?

[wraith junco]

It can. Usualy u need to give it a moment.

Landing pads render faster than ground

[wintry void]

The landing pads docking area has changed though since worlds update

It used to be if I was side on to landing pad, it would dock on floor. Side on now means it turns and lands on pad, when I dont want it too

[solid copper]

i've notice that if you are close to the landing pad, even if you don't see it, it's still prevent you from landing on the ground

[wintry void]

Only way i find is rear of ship to it lands on floor

[solid copper]

I even faceplant my ship to the ground for a hot minute and it can't land

[wintry void]

Might need a hg feedback report

[burnt briar]

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[burnt briar]

haha

[wintry void]

Same with the pulse "autopilot" the box for target destination seems bigger. So many times I target a planet to go to, even if I point ship to other side of planet it locks onto a base or poi I dont want to go to

[sleek siren]

Usually you just need to spam it a bit.
As long as the landing pad holo circles colour has not changed to indicate it's select, you should be able to land on the ground

[wraith junco]

Yeah . I also noticed that

[wintry void]

Doesn't seem to work like that, even side on to pad in 3rd person, you can't see pad, but still lands you on pad

[sleek siren]

i see. if you can't see the pad it might be highlighting it though still.
fwiw i didn't have problems landing so far even in the drop zones. but ive seen quite a few ppl reporting issues

[wintry void]

I find mainly at trade outposts, I'm side on to trade outpost to land on floor, and it lands me at outpost pad

I'll do a feedback for hg at zendesk later, might make a video too

For both issues

[dusty elm]

Is this an Operational Center? Trying to find one to kill walkers. ty

[wraith junco]

Walkers spawn at wanted lvl 5.

So just find sentinels and start shooting.

[dusty elm]

Thank you

[indigo falcon]

is that on an aggo sentinel planet? if not, then it won't matter

@dusty elm

[fickle night]

Inverted Mirror can transferred to Primary Save right?

[dusty elm]

It says High Sentinel Activity, not agressive. There's another planet here called: New Yirrolin, it's aggressive sentinels. I spammed it and one said Resource Depot, went there and there was a large Mek running around, but didn't look like a walker. I flew away, now can't find it lol.

[indigo falcon]

be on the aggro sentinel world. you can be in the ship, it's fine. resource depot is no good. same with manufacturing facility. it has to say 'operations centre revealed'

[craggy echo]

I wish envoys gave inverted mirrors

[dusty elm]

Does it actually say aggro sentinel here, in this area on the chart?

[sleek siren]

since you may not remember all the names all the time, it's best to go with colour.
Red text is the aggressive tier.

[indigo falcon]

It can say zealous or frenzied or a bunch of other stuff, it all means aggressive and it's in red

[dusty elm]

@sleek siren @indigo falcon Thank you! So I'm on the correct planet, that's good. I

[lusty slate]

It says "aggressive", yes. Everyone tends to just call the planets aggro for short.

[sand rover]

probably a dumb question but if i end the expedition before the optional milestone for phase 5 is complete do i lose my chance to get the thing it unlocks?

[indigo falcon]

you'll have to pay quicksilver for it when it's unlocked by expedition players

[sand rover]

hmmm

[sand rover]

okay thank you <3

[lusty slate]

Daily kills completed and currently at 7705 QS.

[steel fox]

Are there brooding planets outside of the expedition?

[lusty slate]

Yes

[steel fox]

I cant find any, trying to get that Roach title

[lusty slate]

You need to find a planet that says "vile brood detected".

[steel fox]

Ya I have killed tons in the expedition, but i guess I read I need to kill them in regular save

[lusty slate]

Yes, the chances for getting the helms and titles are much higher outside of the exped

I got all four on my regular/main save within 12 vile queen battles.

[steel fox]

Man, I have fought like 30 queens and nothing

[dusty elm]

How are some ways to find upgrades for my Exosuit shield?

[lusty slate]

Upgrades or inventory/tech slots?

Do you mean haz protection?

[dusty elm]

I'm going to fight the walker soon and I watched a video and it said to have good shields.

[lusty slate]

You'll be fine. Have that paralysis mortar sub weapon installed, selected and charged. You can use that to keep the walker stunned while you gun it.

[dusty elm]

I have Shield Lattice and Harmonic Armour only

[steel fox]

I duped the runaway mold they gave me and made nanites then hoped around space stations and found the mods.

[lusty slate]

The dangerous thing about the walker is its laser beam. Keep it stunned and it won't use it.

[steel fox]

Make sure to keep killing the sentinels and picking up drops for shield regen

[dusty elm]

Ok, thank you! Video I watched said to shoot his legs to stun him, then kill him by shooting in his face.

[dusty elm]

Are you using any other weapon along with the paralysis mortar?

[lusty slate]

Just pulse splitter

[upbeat fulcrum]

Neutron Cannon ...

[steel fox]

Can I spam queens in the same place till I get title and gear? Someone gifted me a bunch of grubs

[fringe agate]

I'd assume so, nothing in the files that indicate the drops are affected by location

Let us know if it works

[wintry void]

Dunno, Ive had no gear drop at all in expedition with killing brood mothers

Even in normal, Ive only ever got them when squashing on non vile brood planets

[steel fox]

hmmm ok

My individual kills seem to be capped at 250

[wintry void]

Thats the amount you have to kill to be elligible to get the reward

[steel fox]

Oh ok

[stone lotus]

I'M DOING MY PART!

[barren quiver]

hey guys where are we at on the 5th milestone?

[fleet swift]

How do you see how many you've killed?

[wraith badge]

#bot-spam message

[barren quiver]

ah thanks

[wraith badge]

Catalogue -> Mercenary

Race click on Vy'keen for the walkers killed

[wraith badge]

Oh! Extremely WELL DONE!

[ashen shore]

do you need 250 kills for the liquidator reward?

[wintry void]

im guessing so

[nocturne gyro]

🥲

[drowsy fable]

Your not alone

[stone lotus]

you have some catching up to do lol

[drowsy fable]

I know

But ive been playing for like a month

Im decently new to the game

[prime imp]

I played the expedition after some weeks without playing, updated the game but I can't unlock the community rewards already achieved :/

[wintry void]

did you end expedition before they were completed and unlocked?

[lusty slate]

Did you end the expedition or pause it?

[ashen shore]

Just do your part bro if this was phase 3 we'd be done by now lol

[prime imp]

Still doing the expedition through my main save

I finished it but waitint until the community mission is completely done so I return to the save

[ashen shore]

^^^ Same

[lusty slate]

Ohhh wait, you mean it won't unlock in main? Because there's a bug with that.

[prime imp]

Oh sorry, I didnt explain well. I could unlock the first community reward in my expedition save, but even the other rewards except the last one being achieved, I dont get the other rewards. I havent converted the expedition save yet, as I wanted to wait until getting all the community rewarda

[fluid flax]

If I were to complete the expedition with the ship of my choosing, but I also copied over a ship from my main save upon start, I'm not going to lose my original ship if I switch to the new ship right?

[prime imp]

Probsbly uts somethint about my wifi

[fluid flax]

I looked at the faq but didn't see that specific thing

[prime imp]

Because I cant see the the progress of the community mission

[lusty slate]

Yeah, the ODS has to be active for the community milestones to complete

[prime imp]

Ill try to connect my mobile wifi to the steam deck

[lusty slate]

Yeah, sound like ODS connection. Check your wifi and see if you can get the ODS to reconnect.

[prime imp]

What is the ODS?

[lusty slate]

Online Discovery Services. It's the server that hosts the community milestones, tiers and all the player discoveries and uploaded bases.

[prime imp]

Oooooh I see thank you~ I thought it was that but I play with Spanish translation and I wasnt sure

[lusty slate]

If you go to a space station or Anomaly teleporter, it'll tell you if you're connected to the ODS or not.

[prime imp]

How :O?

[lusty slate]

Go to a teleporter and interact with it. Look at the bottom left. It should say Online Discovery Services online in green. Or that you are offline in red.

[prime imp]

Ooooh Ill check, tysm~~

I could finally got them :333 it was the wifi

[lusty slate]

The copied ship is just that, a copy. Doesn't affect the original in your main save at all.

[prime imp]

Im at a small town and it goes pretty bad

[lusty slate]

That's frustrating! I'm glad you got it to work long enough to complete them. 🙂

[fickle night]

this is from the Phase milestone rewards, is there any use of it? or it's for selling only?

[indigo falcon]

just sell it

[fickle night]

okeyy

[prime imp]

Thank you 🩷🩷

[snow ruin]

If you're talking about losing the ship on your main save then no, you're not gonna lose that. You only made a copy of it in the expedition.
If you want a ship you got in the expedition on your main save you'll have to copy it from the expedition to your main save.

[fluid flax]

Can't you turn it in at one of those archives in exchange of a greater value item?

[fickle night]

i want to make sure, QS also get transferred to Primary Save right?

[fickle night]

EH

NOOOOO

I ALREADY SOLD IT

😭

ah, but, if "greater value item" means more money, just to get sold again, i guess it's fine :x

can get money through other things :3

[fluid flax]

Yeah in my experience it's only ever netted me like.....1,000,000 extra give or take

[snow ruin]

From what the "ending expedition" link says, yes indeed.

[fluid flax]

Which is nothing to lift your nose at but there are more effective money making methods

[fickle night]

okeii thankyouu

[fickle night]

true true xD

[ashen shore]

Progress starting to pickup again after stalling out around 60 72% now

[sand marlin]

end of expedition waiting room

[ashen shore]

Yup lol

Others can do their part I'll just wait lol

[indigo falcon]

odds are slim you'd get something even more expensive

[magic hazel]

hows the expedition coming along

[snow ruin]

It's

[magic hazel]

not even at 50% im guessing?

[snow ruin]

Why guess when you can go to #bot-spam and find out? ;P

[magic hazel]

true lol

OOO 73%

[cinder furnace]

Can you use portals while doing expedition?

[snow ruin]

Should be able to, but you have to get the glyphs for it

[cinder furnace]

Yea I forgot we start from scratch with the expo so have to do the Artemis storyline again.

[snow ruin]

Nah, not the Artemis storyline. The story isn't available in the expedition at all. Gotta get those glyphs from graves ;P

[cinder furnace]

Oh yea. Duhhh 🥹

76%. Looks like at least another day of sentinel grinding.... I want it done! 😄

[ashen shore]

Same
Remember if you have the glitch you have to transfer the tech over or wait for a patch before you can redeem on main

[true pagoda]

Did Tier 5 reset?

The entire progress resetted.

[ashen shore]

No ods still has occasional hiccups from the current high player count

Would be funny if it did though

[true pagoda]

Lol

[soft pilot]

Hi, when trying to get an organic frigate does your answers matter?

[faint mesa]

Hmm, 77%...
Tomorrow it is then.

Nice work, liquidators. You did your part.

[soft pilot]

i checked wiki on it, seems depending on your answers u can get a type or another, i tried 3 times to chose to get an explo one and all 3 times it showed me an industrial

[faint mesa]

If I remember correctly the quest gives you a C-class living frigate, which you can "feed" later to change stats... so perhaps you don't need too worry too much about this.
(Also question is more suited to #no-mans-sky or #nms-questions -- this channel is for community expedition discussion)

[soft pilot]

yeah i was in here by default as i'm still in my expedition save and still killing stuff

[remote thunder]

@soft pilot , @faint mesa dream aerial randomizes class, which is otherwise fixed per system; the dream aerial dialog basically only sets the starting disposition, like Gabriel said (we can change it later). it is possible to get a higher class living frigate as your first, even when using dream aerial.

[faint mesa]

Oh, didn't know, thanks!
Guess I got unlucky with my system when I did the quest lol.

[soft pilot]

yeah i was using a dream aerial

after 6 tries, all c class and trade

I'm not doing a quest, i crafted the dream aerial

got the BP from a frigate mission loot

[remote thunder]

yeah yeah, that's how everybody gets it usually

it can be gifted by/to other players too

[soft pilot]

ok

[wraith junco]

Join the Mobile Infantry and save the Galaxy! Service guarantees citizenship. Would you like to know more?
Type !expedition in #bot-spam

[fluid flax]

Uh did this just reset?

[rocky kernel]

Looks like we've increased the rate at which we're going to hit the Expedition goal. When I looked early yesterday it was going to be around 1pm (pacific) on Tuesday, but now looks to be around 1pm (pacific) tomorrow. 🙂 We're at around 1% per hour, though it goes up and down depending on the time of day.

And no it didn't reset, you just lost access to the server/service that tracks it

Should be back up eventually.

[fluid flax]

Huh, online discovery servers are on

I'll wait it out lol

[rocky kernel]

Right, it has happened a lot this expedition, guessing it's happened in past ones as well.

[formal thicket]

Happened to me last night, all good now

[rocky kernel]

Likely it's it's own service seprate from online discovery and not as "steady".

[fluid flax]

Oh it

it's good now

[ornate onyx]

Ok, maybe this is a dumb question, but if I have completed my part of the optional milestones, and I switch back to my main save before Tier 5 completes, do I still get the rewards for the optional Tier 5 milestone in my main save?

[brazen violet]

If you end the expedition, then no, you would have to buy it with QS. You can of course just switch back and forth without ending it, do you can claim the last tier when it completes

*then you can claim...

[ornate onyx]

Ah, thanks

[lusty slate]

So it'll be in the low 80s at the end of today. So, tomorrow evening likely

[fossil token]

[ashen shore]

80%

We need the Europeans to carry this and get us to 90 overnight lol

^^^ Agreed! LOL

Get on it Euros! XDRule, Britannia!

[crystal iris]

How does it work exactly when I complete the Exped using an old save? Do I get to keep all the new Items I acquired? I got a new freighter and some good modules... do I get to keep those?

[rocky kernel]

The third pin in this channel has a link to a good explanation of what to do.

[slender reef]

81% So far on community challenge. Definitely should be done sometime tomorrow.

[balmy aspen]

Once the expedition is over and/or you end it, is there another way you can keep earning quicksilver, or do you need to wait for the next expedition?

[ornate wing]

The QS missions continue

So you can still do daily and weekend stuff.

[balmy void]

Probz in the morning

[mild nexus]

Isthere any difference between the sentinel minotaur and the new Liquidators minotaur functionally? if so, which is objectivley "better?"

[ornate wing]

I believe they have some stats additions. 100% know both arms have weapons built in.

Legs provide some stat buffs, and the torso has a built in AI so you don't need the module anymore.

[ashen shore]

82% yay! XD

[balmy void]

Would be cool to have more than one exocraft of each type and have NPCs using different kinds so we could hunt for new exocrafts...which, of course, implies submerged trading outposts where nautilon dock.

[mild nexus]

Dude how do I get the liquidator right arm

I’ve been flying around killing bug things for forever now

[hasty nova]

it's awarded with the final phase community goal....which we are at 82% complete

[mild nexus]

I see

[ornate wing]

I think Polo is going to be in a shock when I come in with a full fleet, almost all the tech unlocked, and fat bank account by the time themain quest starts.

[finite rover]

83%. done my bit for the day.

[elder yarrow]

But do you have a pirate freighter?

And I'm totally not compensating for anything....

[finite rover]

heh. how'd you ge tit?

[ornate wing]

If you warp into a system that has a pirate dreadnaught. Disable it's shields and the engines only, you can then board and claim

[elder yarrow]

I found a system that had a fight, and ground it until it was an S rank one. Easiest way to capture it is to shoot out the engines, then fly over the top and shoot out the big guns, once the last of the big guns fall it surrenders on the spot.

[ornate wing]

I still have my A rank basic. Looking to swap it for a bigger ship tho.

[elder yarrow]

you may want to do some research on the dreadnaughts to find a one with a desirable supercharged pattern before doing the grind for an S rank

[shell kettle]

Que?

[ornate wing]

Oh I'm not worried about S rank at all, just looking for a A rank swap

[ornate wing]

You might be disconnected from the discovery service, currently at 83

[shell kettle]

I'm not.

I even have MP enabled.

[sacred mirage]

ODS probpem.

should be 83%

[shell kettle]

Oh it's back now.

[ashen shore]

83 already huh, if the euros carry it'll be done in 24h

[young kiln]

hey guys quick question about the expedition, can i hop in and out of it? should i try a bit on my own or wait for my brother to play w me?

i wanna try it but wanna play it properly with him on his day off work

dont wanna get locked in

[sacred mirage]

no matter if you're going to singleplayer of multiplayer

[ashen shore]

Yeh

[sacred mirage]

up to you

[young kiln]

its more that if i try it myself i dont wanna get locked in, if i try it out can i leave and come back w my brother?

bad phrasing sorry

kinda weird question to phrase

never done an expedition b4 so idk how it works

[sacred mirage]

you mean switch from the expedition to your former save?

the tasks themselves can be paused at anytime

[young kiln]

i want to wait for my brother to play it properly, i just want to try it right now and see what its all about

im asking if once i start it, can i leave

i have no idea how it works

it takes place just in the normal game world?

[sacred mirage]

It will teleport you to a certain place and all the expedition players are there; you'll going to do tasks there, just like the main story. You can leave it along whenever you want

[young kiln]

perfect thnx

just wanna pop in and see the shtick then leave and wait for my bro

thanks for your help!!

[sacred mirage]

[hot blade]

Can I take anything back? Or is the whole inventory a wash?

[sacred mirage]

you can take some items back

[hot blade]

Do I just put them in the terminal?

[sacred mirage]

don't back now the tier 5 hasn't finished

[hot blade]

In the anomaly I mean?

[sacred mirage]

Yeah in the anomaly

[hot blade]

Oh yeah
I just found some sentinel ships that may give an augmentation upgrade for every scrap
So I wanna load up and send them back to my main along with any echo locators and carrier AIs I get in the process

[elder yarrow]

IIRC it's the same drop chance for either versions... might as well go for the S

[hot blade]

Thanks methyl

[warm quartz]

is it just me or are the poster rewards really pixelated

[brisk shard]

The textures have been weird for me too, sometimes they're super pixilated and other times theyre fine

[finite steeple]

anyone else having trouble finding deep sea monstrosities? i cant find alluring specimens to save my life for some reason

[turbid folio]

apparently the lil jellyfish count?

wish i could remember where i found my ones dude vov

[finite steeple]

jelly fish? the space jellyfish you find on derelicts?

[shadow pivot]

I saw this system in the #pins for the Apex Predator. How do I find this system. It looks like it's gotta be close to the start system but I don't see where

[warm quartz]

i read that that was fixed

no longer counts

[turbid folio]

ah! ok

[ornate wing]

I must got lucky with that.

[turbid folio]

i got unlucky w/ the abysall horrors where they spawned in rocks @_@ was an effort to get em out

[finite rover]

Interesting.

[knotty marsh]

Final push, soldiers. Advance! Murder everything that moves

[lilac crane]

so close

[finite steeple]

but then why are YOU moving?

[finite rover]

cos they like to move it, move it.

[ornate wing]

4.5k bug kills, I'm tired boss

[finite rover]

jeebus

[glass bramble]

Managed to complete "Apex Predator" near the fourth nest

[jolly maple]

my expidition bugged so i didnt get all the stuff. dont mind tho bc i got a crud ton of recources from some farms that peeps made for my main save (20k nitrogen, 20k O2, 20k sulphurite)

also did some skydiving from a really good base

[ashen shore]

85%

Crazy

I am obsessed with finishing this lol I have to get up in 3 hrs lol

It'll be at minimum 13 more hours

[ornate wing]

Hello games going to need to give us a heavier sentinal enemy after this expedition

Mino just melts through everything now

[crimson trail]

We are nearly there boys and girls!

Speedrunning expeditions like only this community can ❤️

[ornate wing]

How large were those suckers?

[full pewter]

2.4m

[glass bramble]

Hmmm... Not sure. Data page says 2.4m height, don't know about length. I scanned from pretty far away

[ashen shore]

ikr, I am one shotting groups with my plasma launcher lol

[queen nova]

Thank God this expedition didn't end yet I almost forgot about the mino stuff

[shut plank]

That's in Rendezvous 3

[queen nova]

How I get these other helmets

[snow ruin]

Kill the brood mothers in your normal save instead of the expedition

[queen nova]

Oh that's all

[finite rover]

wait wot?

[queen nova]

How would I get the brood mothers onto my normal save cause I'm waiting for the last optional to be ready first

[finite rover]

crush some worms

[snow ruin]

Find planets with Vile Brood Detected, they exist in the normal save too.
Then find some Vile Grub and crush those.

[queen nova]

Oh

[finite rover]

grubs not worms :)

oops

[snow ruin]

Eh, same difference, really

[finite rover]

but there are helmets to be gotten from crushing them?

and killing their mums

[snow ruin]

From fighting the Brood Mothers, yes

[finite rover]

wow. so it isn't pointless?

[snow ruin]

I got 1 from fighting 3 on a mission from the Nexus

[finite rover]

wasn't a mission thing then?

where can I read of this?

[snow ruin]

This was outside the expedition. People report that the helmets don't really drop in the expedition

[ashen shore]

How many helmets can I get? I already found one

[snow ruin]

I think I've heard there are 3

[ashen shore]

Okay, I'll kill some more vile brood then

[finite rover]

ooooh. https://nintendosmash.com/no-mans-sky-how-to-unlock-new-helmets/

[finite rover]

4

[snow ruin]

Always good to qualify your statements indeed XD

[finite rover]

=)

thanks for the heads up

I thought it was a pointless, self-inflicted fight until now

[queen nova]

Fr I didn't even know this either

[coarse garnet]

I confirm, my colony planet on my main save now has vile brood on it ... and extreme tempest

Is the community objective completed now ?

[chilly steeple]

nope

check #bot-spam

[crimson trail]

We are nearly there, just a few goons left to obliterate

[lusty moon]

What is the expedition progress? I was too busy looking at my sentinel ship so I’m too tired to help

[thick umbra]

87%

[lusty moon]

Woo good job guys! I really deserve the rewards!

[dusty elm]

For my part in the community, do I need just 250 kills total?

[wraith junco]

250 for task tiers. 150 kills daily for % community contribution

[dusty elm]

My phases 1 thru 4 show complete (is lite up) does that mean I reached the daily 150 kills?

[indigo falcon]

no. it means you did the total 200 kills to qualify for all of those items for free

there is no indication of the daily kills visible to the player, that is likely intentional

[wanton frigate]

you can count drops or get a sharpie and mark them on your arms and legs but it's phase 5 now so we'd all look like Zsasz if we did that.

[dusty elm]

Thank you!! I better get to shooting today then. I've only got the 'Walker' to complete, which will take awhile. I need to map spam another planet since the one I did do, I spammed to death 😆

Does only some space stations have free nav data? I'm at one now and the glowing box you can get nav data from is under the staircase!! Very unusual place to put it.

[hollow kraken]

It to my knowledge spawns randomly

[dusty elm]

Found another one here too, on the arm of the sofa lol.

[ashen shore]

Im sure Im not the only 1 but is anyone else having a problem with using the liquidator parts for the minotaur, Says I've claimed them but they not in my minotaur inventory to use

[raven quiver]

They are blueprints

[dusty elm]

Does blueprints automatically transfer over to main save when you complete expedition?

[hollow kraken]

For the Minotaur parts?

[raven quiver]

All expedition rewards do. You go to the guy in the Anomaly for them

Should be unlocked account wide

[dusty elm]

yes

[wraith badge]

Visit the QS vendor on the Anomaly and claim the Minotaur parts on each save you want them on, tip ... they're NOT in the Expedition Rewards section on the QS Vendor menu 😉

[dusty elm]

And that's where I was looking for them at lol.. Thanks for the tip!

[rancid mist]

Guys how do I complete it

[rancid mist]

Yo? Can you help me?

[wraith badge]

check the pin

[rancid mist]

Yeah I need to check different worlds but I want to know if there is an easier method

[ashen shore]

yes but they are not appearing in the game

[wraith badge]

No

[rancid mist]

Damn

[raven quiver]

One moment

[ashen shore]

says already claimed, watched a video of some1else claiming them, you suppose to just go to a planet call the minotaur and install the technolgy, but the parts do not appear in the install technolgy section for me

[near mica]

we heckin close bois 😄

[wraith badge]

It's a known bug, for some people ... should be fixed in the patch that's due at some point this week, hopefully @ashen shore

[rancid mist]

W community

[ashen shore]

thought it might be a bug, says the same thing in the expedtion too already claimed but not appearing in inventory

[raven quiver]

It worked for me. Did you do the sentinel walker stuff?

Oook known bug

[wraith badge]

Worked for me too ... but it doesn't work for everyone

[raven quiver]

While I got to testing. Liquidators stuff will override the hard frame stuff cosmetically

And do benefit from adjacent boosts

[final bridge]

Couple of questions. 1. Doesn't seem like the mino plans you get for the community rewards are available at the quicksilver vendor on my main save. Do they carry over? 2. Using my main save for the expedition, my starting multitool was c-class with 3 SC slots. How's that possible?

[wraith badge]

they are there ... in the top option ... if you claim them and they are then not available to be installed in the Minotaur then you'll have to wait for the patch to fix that particular bug

Regarding the MT it's the gift HG gave us when starting the expedition.

[final bridge]

Thanks, I'll check again when I get back to the game 🙂

[swift dune]

how do i get the phase 5 reward for killing the hostiles?

[hasty nova]

It's a community goal. So just wait and contribute every day.

[rancid mist]

Does anyone know how to mine 900 resources in one go?

[dusty elm]

For the community milestone, phase 5, do I need to have all kills required before tier 5 is at 100% so I get credit. If I don't have enough killed, will I have to wait until the tiers start again and reach tier 5? <<<does that even make sense lol? I'm sort of new to expeditions and still learning.,

[hasty nova]

It's a one time thing. Once the community reaches the goal it's unlocked for everyone. You just have to unlock the reward by the end of the expedition (once it's been unlocked) to get it. The only requirement is completing the expedition, I'm pretty sure.

[hasty nova]

When I got mine I was actively trying to complete that specific goal and I triggered the sentinels. In the middle of that fight I somehow completed the goal. I think it might have completed it by gathering 900 of something in the drops from that fight?

[ashen shore]

Ok so I just got back in game, I am at 0% on level 5.... Last night I was 82% when I left the game.... So where is my credit for that? I cannot seem to return to my 82%.... WTF????

[frail cloud]

With the Minotaur. Pretty esay with the wide laser.

[hasty nova]

If the progress towards that goal isn't showing, it's just a momentary connection issue to their servers. The progress is community wide...you lost nothing...it's just not showing.

[ashen shore]

I hope so lol

Ive been on this for days trtying to complete it lol

[rose veldt]

you can run !tier in #bot-spam and you will see the progress

[hasty nova]

Well good....you're doing your part..and that's what the community needs 🙂

[rose veldt]

you can't complete it alone .. everyone is doing their part and the result is the progres you are seeing

[ashen shore]

AH HA! 89% good! lol

[uncut grotto]

[torpid tulip]

To use any of the minotaur stuff outside of the expedition does the expodition need to end?

[rose veldt]

you started from your main save or did you create a new save for expedition ?

[torpid tulip]

main save

[celest loom]

which expedition do you guys think is/was the worst?

[rose veldt]

i liked all

[rose veldt]

the thing is ... if you start from a new save, and collect the rewards in the expedition , it will be available for free on your main save

[lusty slate]

Voyagers, easily.

[rose veldt]

if you started from main save , theres a bug which says it's already claimed ...

if you end the expedition , you will only have to buy with quicksilver the rest of the parts

but honestly i don't know what happens with the rest of them , which already says it's claimed ... best to wait for an update

[torpid tulip]

well shoot I cant use any of the parts thx for telling my its a bug though 🙂

[lusty slate]

When the flamethrower gets unlocked and players start realizing they can't build it on their main, I'm sure they'll get plenty of reports in to fix it.

[molten rune]

So guys Last 10% do u think we can push it today?

[crimson trail]

We are steadly doing 1% each 1 - 2 hours. I expected us to reach the objective before tomorrow morning (06:00 GMT)

[rancid mist]

Yeah I just did it, you just need to find a place with lots resources grouped together like a bunch of boulders or a forest of trees

[rancid mist]

Yeah, I just completed it. Thanks for the info tho

[snow ruin]

They already have. And a fix is in the experimental builds

[tame shale]

The best way I have found to do this is to start the process in an area that is full of resources - a thickly forested planet, or the tropical / boiling rain planet at the end of the expedition. Bring up your goal and make sure it's active. Then start collecting with your mining beam, making sure you are completely full of energy for it to start. Watch the number collect as you go, and take tiny breaks (half a second or so) to keep your heat down. I was even able to resume after a reset or after a power-recharge, because I had memorized the keystrokes to recharge the beam. Eventually you'll get there - it can take a lot of patience. Having said that, I also did it completely by accident once. 🙂

[nova heath]

Lol I don't even remember how I got 900 I remember not even mining . I just destroyed something and it gave me lot of resource and it counted as mining

[upbeat fulcrum]

Maybe mining silicate powder only ... and as well i dont remember when and how I solved it ...

[fickle night]

I personally laser bunch of resources that're close to each other till their health is low, then recharge the laser to full, and laser all of em at once

[snow ruin]

That's what I did too, and why I put it in the pins

[near mica]

just go brrrr on some trees or in a cave

worked for me xD just dont overheat

[low jackal]

charge your mt to full, then just keep lasering
rocks

be careful not to overheat

[ornate wing]

Metal fingers or sentient plants both potential have easily 1k+ in fast gathering to.

[rancid mist]

Wow thanks

[rancid mist]

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it

[wanton frigate]

the "Active goal" thing is crucial - the count for the goal in the bottom right will not match the regular count that appears top right as you gather resources. If you're having trouble with heat management on the laser, look for a big cluster of O2 plants you, a couple of people hit it with them just by holding Y down.

[rancid mist]

Y is left-click right?

[wanton frigate]

Dunno, I'm slumming it on switch. The button you use to gather / activate terminals / get out of the ship, I think

[fickle night]

no problem :D

[white relic]

guys please do your part thank you

[stone lotus]

Nah I'm good 👍

[white relic]

shameful creature

[stone lotus]

I already killed like a thousand Gek and the stupid bar didn't budge at all

[white relic]

Lol

[rancid mist]

I'm struggling to find a deep sea planet

[ashen shore]

Do not so your part
Do not use check pins
And most importantly do not forget to transfer the mech tech if you're on console especially switch as switch don't even have 5.0.3 yet let alone 5.0.4

[rancid mist]

*do

[ashen shore]

no

[opal glade]

damn its so close

[rancid mist]

[opal glade]

i "already did my part" at around 250+ kills ....yesterday?.... today? something like that

[ashen shore]

I did my part when I unlocked all the helmets inside the expo took 5ever

[hasty nova]

chances are, unless you ran at every opportunity to fight everything, you already did your part just doing the expedition

[opal glade]

helmets?

theres only 1 helmet

[opal glade]

right but it's a daily refresh

so you can increase your contribution daily

[white relic]

yes its 250 daily now at stage 5

or 4

[opal glade]

stage 5 going on complete

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@opal glade Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[opal glade]

ugh

i need to copy and paste it

Tier 5 progress: 92%

8% left

[hasty nova]

yes, I know how it works. Doesn't mean you have to continue doing your part if you don't want to. Shaming people for not doing their part when they've already done their part to their satisfaction is shameful in itself.

[white relic]

if they arent doing their daily cap theyre not doing their part

simple as

[opal glade]

yeah you can not contribute to the daily refresh

thats a thing too

[next sparrow]

is it daily or is it 250 max kills

[hasty nova]

This FOMO needs to go the way of the birds

[ashen shore]

Now I'm not gunna do my part extra hard

[next sparrow]

i've already killed 2000+ things

[white relic]

same

[opal glade]

lol

[next sparrow]

am i supposed to kill 50 daily?

[white relic]

its 250 daily

on the day you did it only like 150 counted

[next sparrow]

250 daily, and where in game does it say that?

[opal glade]

it doesn't say that

[next sparrow]

250 and counting is a total you did

[white relic]

no

it says 250 when i do nothing too

[opal glade]

it doesn't tell you that it refreshs so you can recontribute

[next sparrow]

yes not even sure why it says "and counting" it never changes, it always says 250 and counting

[rancid mist]

You will never know if I did my part or not, therefore you cannot shame me 😏

[opal glade]

lol

no one's shaming anyone

we just wanna get the flamethrower faster

[thin sail]

Facts

[rancid mist]

It will definitely be completed

[opal glade]

of course

[white relic]

yeah i know

just wish it was complete sooner

[hasty nova]

I beg to differ

[opal glade]

but one is going to be done today

[next sparrow]

imagine if it never completed because 1 guy went afk for 1 week

[opal glade]

and one is going to be done in another week

[next sparrow]

and we're all waiting for 1 guy

[opal glade]

LOL

[white relic]

just words

[opal glade]

that would be funny

it'd be like that one movie

remember that one movie where the dude was the last ballot and the presidential election was at 49% 49%

[next sparrow]

mine says 250 and counting but ive killed nothing today yet

so if it resets every day it should say something

[opal glade]

indeed

it should

it's really annoying that it doesn't

i've been keeping track semi manually

by looking at the milestones tracker and writing the number down

[white relic]

omg it went up by 1%

lets goooo

[opal glade]

XD

[white relic]

gunther should have an estimate

[fierce aspen]

When doing the expedition with a main save and I dont copy over a multitool. Can I copy the multitool I got during the expedition back to main? If so, does it copy over with all tech on it?

[white relic]

"current completion time estimate: in x hours"

[opal glade]

it feels like the microsoft fake progress on the progress bar thing

[hasty nova]

nah I'm good

[opal glade]

it FEELS slower the closer it gets

[next sparrow]

it went up by 1% because i just killed 25

wait am i the one guy its waiting for

[white relic]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/987474318441197699.webp?size=48&quality=lossless&name=Salute

thank you

[next sparrow]

LOL

[ashen shore]

You have my emotional support

[upbeat fulcrum]

i always feels like that ...

[next sparrow]

im glad biological horros count

imagine if it was just the queen bug thing

she only spawns like 5 bugs at a time very slowly

[opal glade]

ugghhhhh

that would be so annoying

[next sparrow]

even sentinels would be too slow

[opal glade]

cuz they shutdown everytime you kill a walker

you have to purposefully run away so they don't shut down on you

you can't even turn them back on again

[next sparrow]

yeah you need to exit the game and re-enter and find a new roaming sentinel

[woeful niche]

According to the data miners each tier requires 50,000,000 kills, and you can only contribute 150 kills a day. The problem is the the mission pin gives no hint that there is a daily kill limit, and that number shown is the minimum number of kills to unlock that tier. Hope HG fixes this if they use a similar type of community goal in the future.

[next sparrow]

exit and reenter resets them

how long has the community taken

3 weeks?

as community goals go it's not too bad, but in the future i will just join the expedition 3 weeks late - this way the community rewards will be done by the time i join

since ill have 2 weeks left, and it only takes me 3 days to complete them

[opal glade]

yeah , i agree with the community limit of once per day per person but you need to report it

otherwise people won't care unless a dataminer can show you what's going on

[woeful niche]

True

[opal glade]

if they didn't put a limit for contribution it would literally finish up the first day

i think hello games might not like that

and the community would be bored

[woeful niche]

I don't have any problem with the daily limit. My problem is not making it known.

[ashen shore]

I too love making excuses for something badly designed

[next sparrow]

my problem is why join the expedition

[ashen shore]

Would you like to buy gek vent cleaning services

[next sparrow]

i can wait 3 weeks to join and join when the community rewards are done

[hasty nova]

it all plays to the FOMO

[next sparrow]

and this way i only have to do the kills once

[ashen shore]

For the rewards silly

[next sparrow]

no i mean i can skip all this grinding every day if i just joined the expedition later

today when the community rewards end, anyone who joins the expedition will get the optional rewards 1 to 5 really fast

i'd rather be in their shoes

[rancid mist]

How do I lure deep sea monsters

[next sparrow]

so next time im joining the expedition later

[hasty nova]

use the green orbs around them...seems after a couple it'll trigger it to come out

[rancid mist]

Oh okay thanks

[woeful niche]

In this case (unique so far) the rewards will be available for QS even if you never join the expd. So grind kills or grind QS. You have a choice.

[next sparrow]

or dont grind kills or qs?

just join the expedition for the first time tomorrow

and get optionals 1 to 5 in 1 hour

lol

[rancid mist]

Nothing came to get me

[opal glade]

find an "alluring structure" thinggy and hand pick up the orbs

you have to get out of the mech and pick them up with your hands

[rancid mist]

I picked everything

[next sparrow]

its a plant in the water

[opal glade]

and not with a mining laser

[rancid mist]

Yea

[next sparrow]

sometimes they get bugged under the ground

find another plant

[rancid mist]

Okay

[hasty nova]

I was able to get multiple monsters out of one alluring thingy

[next sparrow]

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

this is the plant/mineral

the green orbs

it should appear on your visor, since it's a special plant

[rancid mist]

Yes I'm trying a different spot

[woeful niche]

There are always choices.

[craggy arch]

For anyone looking to finish the 900 resources in one burst milestone... I did this one yesterday by accident. I found a huge pile of the red oxygen-rich flowers and hand harvested them. PING!

[next sparrow]

yeah unless it restarts tomorrow for whoever joins

and keeps track of who joined when

[bleak spruce]

How is the progress going with the expedition optinal mission? I was killing bug the whole weekend but the progress didn't seem to move 🥲

[next sparrow]

92-93% was due to me killing things

pretty sure

[bleak spruce]

@next sparrow thank you, I'm sure you nuked a planet 😂

[opal glade]

oh that works? lol I did it by going into a cave and mining all the cobalt

cuz i needed it anyways

[craggy arch]

It came as a surprise, for sure! Runaway mould doesn't do it, but apparently picking flowers does 😄

[opal glade]

huh runaway mould doesn't work?

[craggy arch]

Nope.

[opal glade]

thats such a weird thing

well

..... i guess it's not technically resources

it's probably counting actual resources like cobalt oxygen carbon and the like

[craggy arch]

That makes sense.

[opal glade]

yeah cuz runaway mould is the same as gravitino balls

which aren't resources i think

[craggy arch]

"Junk" is the listed type 😉

[opal glade]

ugh

but they turn into nanites fool game

well i guess no one explicitly says they turn into nanites

[craggy arch]

Maybe it's a subtle lesson in the importance of recycling? 😄

[opal glade]

... yeah but in real life you gotta wash them and clean them before they're acceptable to be recycled

thousand yard stare

i remember when I was a kid and selling soda cans for money they wouldn't accept some cuz there was "too much soda" left in them

[craggy arch]

Pftt

[opal glade]

they were EMPTY

and they said the sugar messes with the refiner

so i get it

[craggy arch]

Remembers returning glass bottles for a dime each

[opal glade]

lol

[craggy arch]

<-- Might have a few levels in Human 😄

[opal glade]

same

[craggy arch]

I have to do three more alluring specimens. UGH.

[opal glade]

my levels are high enough that i one shot monsters called taxes when people keep complaining about the balance

looool

I HAAAATED THOSE

stupid little orbs in the middle of the ocean

[craggy arch]

Would be a hella lot simpler if I had the nautilon unlocked 😄

[opal glade]

you can go into the ocean with the minotaur

[craggy arch]

Yeah, but so slooooow 😄

[opal glade]

though ..... crushing things with your stompy feet ain't working

<--- accidentally stomped an "alluring specimen" when i jetpacked over

T_T

[craggy arch]

Sad faces

[rancid mist]

It's stuck underground and I can't even free it

[opal glade]

oh no

.....

[craggy arch]

...That's the stuff of nightmares

Terrrain modifier wouldn't work, I suppose?

[opal glade]

i think i've had that nightmare before... jaws that come out of the solid ground

[rancid mist]

I never expected that I'll wish for a monster to come at me

[opal glade]

i assume he's stuck inside the "wall" there so if you remove terrain it's going to bounce back cuz the wall is moved back

[craggy arch]

LIkely 😦

[rancid mist]

Nah, I think it spawned beneath the terrain

[opal glade]

you can glitch yourself into the wall

though you'll fall through the world

[rancid mist]

Oh?

[opal glade]

ehhh

[rancid mist]

No thank you XD

[opal glade]

you won't die

[rancid mist]

Hmm?

[opal glade]

it'll spawn you at the nearest ground "wall"

though it's kind of involved to do so it'd be faster just to find a new alluring specimen

cuz it involves you making that place your base and all the underwater crap that's involved with it

thats the only way I know how to reliably do it

[craggy arch]

93% 🙂

[opal glade]

if theres a way to do it with your minotaur that works too but that's also kinda hard to do

[rancid mist]

This might be a better option

[opal glade]

yeahhhh

i don't recommend doing it out of spite

its just a huge waste of time

[rancid mist]

Yeah

[alpine carbon]

How do I do ‘The Fat of the Land’

Like I just got 900 Silicite P and it didn’t tick over

[snow ruin]

[hollow kraken]

Go into a cave on the starting planet mine small carbon plants

[ashen shore]

Do not check the pins they know the answers they have fingers to type they can tell you
Follow me for more bad advice don't forget to subscribe

[hollow kraken]

also set it as the active objective it does not quite detect every single mined resource

[ashen shore]

Every mission can be completed on the phase planet it's given on / intended to be done on
Hop in your mech stand infront if a bunch of trees don't stop shooting

[alpine carbon]

Thanks

[rancid mist]

One down, 2 more to go

[opal glade]

collect a huge oxygen or sodium deposit flowers in succession or go in a cave and mine all the stalactites

[next sparrow]

check the pins is like sending someone to get lost in a bottomless pit

[snow ruin]

It can be when people just get pinned a lot of disparate things with no system, which is why I chose to make a bit more of an organized one.

[opal glade]

it would be helpful if there was a separate channel that could put all the pins in one place so you could ctrl-f all of them

[next sparrow]

but i mean if you know what pin they need, its easier for a new player if you just get the pin direct link yourself like this, #nms-expedition message

see i direct linked to the first pin

[opal glade]

personally i don't like the advice on that pin cuz not all the resources are located together and it takes time to prep all of them like that

[next sparrow]

cause i guaruntee you when someone told me to check pins, i didn't know what pin it was and never found it lol

[snow ruin]

Eh, it's not hard to just read, IMO. And it's a useful skill to learn to do that yourself instead of getting it handed to you directly every time.

Not being able to find it really is a research issue

[next sparrow]

well i never found the pin i needed, felt overwhelmed after trying to decipher each pin, and then gave up

[ashen shore]

I was joking originally but the pins are a unorganized info dump
Also it would be beneficial to add temporary gunter commands for common expi questions like !12 and the predator pops up

[opal glade]

for 900 resources fat of the land #nms-expedition message

[ashen shore]

Get someone with a knowledge stone name to origibaize the pins and add hyper links to specific sections even

Like a book has a chapter summary and a dictionary lists where you can find stuff you don't just start reading

[snow ruin]

Like I said, feel free to make it more organized yourself. If you aren't willing to do that yourself you really shouldn't complain about the fact that people at least have given the information.

[next sparrow]

in game i found apex predator because someone named a planet, APEX PREDATOR IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CRAB LOOKING! and then they named the predator "THIS IS THE ONE"

[ashen shore]

94%... nice

[ashen shore]

I have no wish to earn a knowledge stone I can point out somthing is iffy without fixing it myself lol

[next sparrow]

whats a knowledge stone?

ill organize this discord for free

[ashen shore]

It's given to helpers and people who know alot

[snow ruin]

What does this have to do with knowledge stone? Just silly stuff

[next sparrow]

i'll even redo the role channel with proper embeds

[ashen shore]

Correct it is pretty silly to take issue with people pointing out some flaws, I even suggested two ways to fix em 😉

[snow ruin]

No, I'm saying you're silly.

[next sparrow]

oh well if it takes 2.5 years to earn a knowledge stone i might not be motivated by then to fix the discord 😄

[ashen shore]

No you're being pretty silly unfortunately
There's no need to take issue with me pointing out some flaws

[alpine carbon]

I got it 😃

[ashen shore]

And mods have already told you not to bakeseat moderate in thr past yes?

[craggy arch]

Yay! Congrats 😄

[ashen drum]

OK so I've never done an expedition before. I understand that when you end the expedition for yourself your expedition save is somehow merged into your "main" save. When that happens how are storage container inventories handled? For instance if I have a box #0 in my main save and one in my expedition save what happens to their contents?

[next sparrow]

i feel like i started this cause i suggested linking the info in the pin rather than referring a person to scroll all the pins

[ashen shore]

Actually my suggestion was pretty good ima suggestion it

[next sparrow]

i was mainly implying that pins are hard to understand for a new guy (since i am new and it was hard for me personally)

[next sparrow]

there's a video on this

[craggy arch]

There is a lot of information 🙂

[brave rain]

If you have the components on you expedition save and you don’t take them back to your main save then they are deleted

[ashen shore]

I suggested it
It will likely get denied because a info dump IS fine you can just scroll till you find the info but maybe

[ashen drum]

Thanks, but what does that mean "take them back to your main save"? Is there some kind of option that the game gives you?

[brave rain]

The pin system is a mess

[next sparrow]

if you want you can watch this video, it shows what happens pretty well. https://youtu.be/VEKDGhdWz-Y?t=203

[ashen shore]

That's what I said lol

[brave rain]

Did you start a new save for the expedition or did you start it from the annonoly

[ashen drum]

From the anomaly I believe; it looks like it's using the same save slot as my "normal" game.

[ornate wing]

So what your all saying is after the secondary is passed.

I should go to the Anomoly and AFK so people dump all the stuff they can't take with them onto me 😄

[brave rain]

When you end the expedition at the anomaly terminal you started it from you can take 30 items from the expedition back with you to your main save

[next sparrow]

i accidently got 5 inventory slots

because i think someone sent it to me instead of their inventory

[next sparrow]

the question is

im in survival mode main save, stacks of 500 only, but i can stack 5000 oxygen in 1 expedition inventory slot, and pick it up in my survival mode? so long as i have 5 free slots for 500 oxygen each?

[ashen shore]

Remember to take the mech tech if you're on console, especially if you're on switch

Thr bug is fixed on pc only right now

And switch is two patches behind !

[next sparrow]

i find it weird that expeditions are normal moded

[brave rain]

Wait what’s the bug

[brave rain]

Not all of them

[next sparrow]

expeditions should have been survival mode

[next sparrow]

orly?

[ashen drum]

Thank you, that's helpful. What about the multitool and ship? Do those directly transfer over just as they were during the expedition?

[brave rain]

Bro what, why would you want them to be grindier

[ashen shore]

If you claimed mech tech on expi you cannot claim on main save
This is the bug, fixed on pc experimental

[brave rain]

Leviathan was perma

[next sparrow]

they arent grindier cause the goal isn't to farm 10k oxygen ever, it's going to have the same grind if it's kill 30 of whatever.

[brave rain]

Yeah you can copy them for nanites back in your main save

[snow ruin]

#nms-questions message read both.

[ashen drum]

Awesome. Thank you!

[next sparrow]

it's only grindier if you need more than 500 of something to do something

imo

unless mining rates are slower in survival

[brave rain]

I think them being normal mode is great because expeditions are for everyone and most I would say 70% play normal mode or custom

[ashen drum]

Perfect, thank you!

[ashen drum]

Thanks, the video was helpful

[brave rain]

Worlds most thankful person

[next sparrow]

yep np, i needed the video myself, i had same questions

[ashen shore]

94% as long as it keeps up 1% per hour well have the flamethrower arm in 6h

[next sparrow]

yeah when i do expeditions i just do the objectives and get out, i know some people like to live in there and farm and collect money and nanites forever 😄

so i don't really feel survival mode would be grindy for me

unless i need more than 500 of something since 500 is the stack limit

[ashen drum]

Huh, so I'm going to lose the freighter from the expedition. Oh well.

[ashen shore]

I play 8n survival mode it's my preferred setting, games too buggy for perm death and normal too easy

[brave rain]

Leviathan was the best expedition imo because of how they worked in perma death but I really like normal mode for expeditions cause I don’t have that much time to play NMS anymore

[next sparrow]

i'd never play perm death unless i save scummed it

[ashen drum]

I have to say, in my opinion there is so much that's cool about expeditions. How they are implemented with this alternate save game feels really awkward. I wish they were a more seamless part of your "normal" save.

[next sparrow]

but yeah i am playing on survival as well

[ashen shore]

I did perm death once for the achievement lol that's it

Then I jumped into a volcano

[next sparrow]

whats the achievement, get to center of galaxy?

[brave rain]

I think all they need is a copy freighter option and it would be great

[snow ruin]

It's really a hack, because expeditions were only new saves before. You couldn't start one from a "main" save before

[ashen shore]

There different ones for the game mode yeah

[next sparrow]

i think in my survival i have died a few times, but i forget why

stupid stuff usually, once i was afk and storm killed me

[swift dune]

anyone can help me do deep sea monstorsity

[ashen drum]

Yeah I agree, that's what it feels like to me too; hacked into the game. I mean I also can appreciate the value (from a game design perspective) of someone starting a completely new save game for certain experiences. But I'd gladly give that up for a more seamless experience.

[ashen shore]

Use your visor to look for hadal cores
If you're on switch I think the kill Amy creature bug still works

Try shooting a jelly fish if so

[swift dune]

every planet i go to has n owater

even whe ni war

*warp to different system

[ashen shore]

Phase 1 starting planet is most common but I preferred the phase the mission was given on

It should have water in the system info but even if it doesn't one planet should still have water

[swift dune]

ill try tnx

[ashen shore]

No problem but if you have a second may I interest you in the glory of the first spawn

[next sparrow]

if you select the quest and then go to galaxy map it will show you a line to closest planet to complete quest usually

when i needed a dissonant world that's how i found one anyway

should work for sea monstrosity as well

[ashen shore]

I'm glad I did it early looking for hadal cores do be annoying somtimes

[shadow pivot]

I'm waiting a guide on how to find sea monstrosities and I'm curious why they say stuff like "Your first warp will be to a system called Fuscia".

Does everythings galaxy look the same during expeditions?

I dont see a system called Fuscia any where. Much less for a dropzone

[snow ruin]

If they can't get the name of the drop zones correct I wouldn't trust that guide much

Finding "sea monstrosities" is just reading the milestone explanation and looking for "alluring specimen" as it tells you with the visor

[ashen shore]

If you're on switch the bug still works though just tested it

I'm doing my part since we almost done lmao

If you see it got 95 you're welcome

[deft viper]

How many kills is 1%? 👁️👄👁️

[shadow pivot]

paradise planets will always have water right?

[snow ruin]

Something like 500 thousand

[deft viper]

So im basically contributing almost nothing

[shadow pivot]

Youre doing your part

[snow ruin]

If nobody did their part then nothing would get done.

Adding just a little part is how humanity got to the point we are now. Nobody builds society alone

[ashen shore]

If they want people to do their part remove the cap and raise the number of kills needed
I got 5000 kills first day less than 5% counted

Actually after a quick google less than 1% counted lmao

[snow ruin]

How to reveal one doesn't know game balance. XD

[amber hawk]

hi im going to start playing the expedition from my main save and i know i can copy the ship and multitool when i first get to the anomaly, but do they keep all their tech? also do they keep their inventory too?

[deft viper]

Just got Jumpscared by my Minotaur

[robust atlas]

These guys are a buggy mess… I‘m on a planet most of these alluring specimen are in caves under water.
Stealing a „plant“ (forgot the Name) spawns the monstrosities in the cave ceiling, with no way to get them out of there nor killing them…

So it takes forever to complete this quest…

[deft viper]

The Tech stays but i dont know about the Inventory

[shadow pivot]

So once you find an Alluring Specimen, how do you get the monstrosity to spawn?

[snow ruin]

Gather

[shadow pivot]

ah ok, so it's an RNG thing.

[deft viper]

The Forbidden Fruit

[opal glade]

no you have to pick up the green orb thing with your hands

no mining laser
