aaaaaah damn ok
Time to do my fart.
you have to walk up to it and press the button on your console to pick the orb up
and then the sharky poo will show up
and then you can beat it's face in
Thank you very much! That's what I was doing wrong.
4 targets with 1 grenade, this can be done with plasma launcher ig?
Yes, you want to get some tech to buff it though otherwise it's base line doesn't do enough to kill with splash damage.
It should be just hit, yeah. No need to be able to kill
This is it, PURGE PURGE PURGE
I purged all I could purge and I can't purge no more.
Like you do!

So close
Should have reached 100% in the 7 hours sinceโฆ ๐
Will Exocraft inventory carry over?
You should probably have a sip of water. gotta hydrate, y'all
I think Nanites and Units carry over
i found a way for fire in the hole : spam throw food pellets and while the animals eat u vaporise them
You gain units and nanites for general gameplay activities like buying ships and learning words.
I mean, yeah, that solution is in the pins XD
Has anyone tried to go to the galactic core in expadition? When I do the game sends me to Hilbert but also spawns me in space. This is a problem since I am in permadeath...
Is this a bug? Or maybe we should not be able to go to the next galaxy in expedition?
Only what you place in the console. As per the links on how to end an expedition in the pins ;P
Not a problem if you die
In the expedition you're in the expedition with its own difficulty settings
But it looks like a bug, you shouldn't spawn in space after a core warp
You can report if you want to

!expeditionprogress
Try !tier in #bot-spam
Looks like it should be done in 3-4 hours from now at the current rate.
Oh. Thanks.
Would love some help on this. This bug is a huge problem.
96%, almost there aaaaa
Weather warning: Incoming storm
What is going on? I'm in a space station, a message came on my screen, torpedoes launching in 10 seconds. Now I see beams of green light coming into the space station. Should I leave or what?
Usual progress bar fail: apparently 96% to go (5 4%).
What?
97%!!!
4% left I guess
I doubt that: it'll probably show 5 5% soon (somewhere between 98% and 99%).
I use the bot command
The HUD mission info correctly shows 97%.
Heeeeey, it might actually be complete when I get off work!
Kill them . Kill them all!
Done my share for today again. Balance is 243K nanites earned from farming sentinels.... I do hope those last 2% will get done today, so I can stop farming sentinels for a long while.
All I want is for this winter storm to go away...
I've been sucked up in this blizzard for ages
My community bar went from 97% to 0%. RIP.
243,000?!?!?!?
2% boys!
Can't for the mass exodus of people ended the expedition when Liquidator 5 gets complete
lol
they say with a heart next to their name
Oh, nice somewhere in the next 2 hours now then. Maybe around 2 pm pacific.
id say maybe about 1 hour
Yep, the rate has increased so getting harder to tell when.
Within 30 minutes of 21:00 GMT seems likely to me. (And that progress bar is indeed showing 5 5%.)
When you copy a weapon or a ship to a main save from an expedition sace, its an addition right? It doesbt replace anythinh
No (but if it does, bug).
Is the expedition bugged? I keep being told I can board a ghost freighter but I dont see it
Lost in space mission
Yeah, that's not part of the Expedition.
This walks you through the expedition specific achievements.
They keep giving it to me haha, Ill just do it real quick and be done with, but thanks!
99% sooon
You can reselect the Expedition quest by going into your log
That's the problem with new saves on expedition. You'll get the typical stuff on a new save
So much chaos
Also yes
THOON
Come on people do your part! 2% to go!
Im JUST getting started on it,m still on chapter one, taking my time, i'll do that 2% 
Only need 1% but the more dead bugs the merrier?
Did it just tick over to 99%?
It did about 10 minutes ago.
Yes!
Huh, 30 seconds ago it was 98 for me haha
I will be there when it goes to 100%
You've still got time friend
Oh man, I forgot we can just bring our old save into expedition, right?
Ill still be able to bring my stuff into regular save, right?
kill a lot of them, analyse the glass they drop and hope for tech, which you can sell for nanites.
Refine pugneum to nanites and do that a lot of times.
Huh, didn't realize pugneum can go to nanites. TIL
Guys should I start over from my regular save? Or can I still bring back stuff from thje expedition to my regular save if I did it through a new expedition save?
you loot tons of it. it's a good way to farm nanites.
5 6%, so I'm guessing at least 99.5%.
Yeah, I got tons, was using it to power things didn't realize it could be refined. LOL
How would you transfer stuff between two totally independent saves?
the green/red goo you loot from some chests, refine it a couple of times to get moulds, which also refine to nanites.
the same way we did through two independant modes. ๐
As far as I know, survival and expedition are two different modes, two different saves?
Survival is a difficulty setting, isn't it? You can still go to the anomaly and start the expedition no apparently you can't
But anyways, thanks for the thread, Ik what to do now ๐
You can't transfer stuff between the separated modes, like between expedition, permadeath, and everything else. If that answers your question
Those take way too long, but ok at the start.
Pretty sure a bunch can be transferred via a second account or a friend, but not easily. Resources and upgrades/etc, ships/tools not so much.
Not from expedition to any other mode, and not from permadeath to any other mode. Or the other way around.
But between two saves you have in the same mode you can do a courier, yes
So someone not in expedition cannot meet/join me on a planet or anomaly when I'm in the expedition? You'd be on the same planet but cannot see each other?
correct
You could probably do something with going in and then back out of the expedition I would guess with a main save to trade... maybe. LOL
Ah, but only the limited count of items.
Oh, unless you trusted someone who joined the expedition with a new account directly, they'd be able to keep all. Though no ships or MTs.
Again, guessing, not tested. ๐
What % is the last objective at?
99%, so probably 5-15 minutes now if it's not done already.
i can finally transfer the s class solar ship parts to my primary save
Sounds like youโve been busy not doing your part
Guessing it's finished finally
nonono i have been i promise- its just theres so many pirate systems around rendeveous 5 and thought might as well, since its my first time gonna build a ship
99%? 1 more to go ?
And then HG adds 50 million more ! XD
Pls no lol
yay

Good timing
WE DID IT
๐ฅณ
"you guys have been pushing through these milestones so quickly that we added an extra milestone!"

Finally! after all these i can own a flamethrower in NMS.
Doesn't say it complete for me
How do you even bring back the parts?
...after the bug of "already claimed" gets fixed lol
They're blueprints
I didnโt know you could do that in expedition
Ohh
100%!!!!!
๐
It still says 99% for me
imagine discovery becomes offline lmao
\o/
just finished for me
Now to decide when to leave the expedition. LOL Started with a new save and it's way better than my old as I had just started playing a new save when the World update hit. Guessing I have until the end of the Expedition to stay in.
now- will this channel just be empty then until the next- lol
WOOHOOOO IT WENT TO 100 ๐๐
Mine hasn't yet
JUST GOT THIS MESSAGE WOOOOOOOOOO
Yea I'm not getting anything like that
What does it say you have left to do?
what if you tried going to primary save, then back to expedition
I have the last optional to do
nothing much else, just leave when ready :)
Must just be your connection to the server for the expedition.
Just got it!
Did we do it peeps? Is the war finally over?
Likely will fix itself soon enough. Though make sure you at least do the 150 or 200 or 250, can't recall what it said.
250 total individual kills on tier 5
WE KILLED THE WORLD ENDING BUGS WOOOO
i dont even know if theyre world ending- why did we do this- lol
Same!
maybe I'll just crush some larva and run away to start it again
I can finally stop dashing for the rooftop every time I go into my settlment expecting a bug attack.
I'm fighting bugs and bots at the same time it's hell
Just reported as completed here.
LOL Yeah, that was starting to get annoying going anywhere.
Aaaaaand I still can't use the liquidator upgrades. Quicksilver guy says I already know them but the recipes show up as unknown in my guide.
ye true
I think I ended at 4.5k kills on bugs, with the majority just me fighting them at settlements.
Then the Sentinals would get pissed, and I would fight them to
can we see a stat for how many bugs we killed lol
Now should reveal tier 6 and super space bug queen should apear .
I'll pray then
๐
Go to your mercenary faction tab in the log.
aah i see- 2,020
i swear i thought i had more-
although 817 sentinals destroyed and 131 pirates killed soo
1755 sentinels, 2891 horrors, 24 pirates.
I believe it's not really good at counting multi-kills with say the plasma grenade launcher
...It just finished on my side, was at 99%, heard the milestone sound
so where do i go in the anomaly to transfer my expedition stuff to my main save?
like my ship and multitool
Yay 100%
There is a console just next to mission select. Should be highlighted with a icon.
I killed 636 horror bugs
Wow. I had finished the expedition nearly on release, forgot absolutely all about it, worried I was too late or something, and somehow booted it up and got into the game within 10 minutes of it finishing
Oh nvm just now got it lol
The odds.
ah oof- i did leave the minotaur to do some killing for me
Woot!
I plan on not triggering scoring for quicksilver-related reasons.
Right arm go!
So who dumping the 2k+ worth of QS for a firework show?
does nothing for me
lol nah we got twitch drops
Let's goo it's complete
Weird try selecting in your log the expedition quest. It should highlight were to go or what else needs done. You should be able to end the expedition at any time.
Unless of course this is a new save, it might just converted.
Huzzah!
Anyone else unable to apply the new Minotaur parts on main save atm?
it just autoended the expedition once i claimed purged in fire 5
My friend been promised a flamethrower now he will have one LOL
Ah, check your save to see if it was converted then.
yeee hg knows about the bug of โalready claimedโ and thyr have it fixed in the experimental branch

Amazing, good enough. Cheers
says it changed to normal mode
Was this a fresh save? Like did you start in expedition?
yeah i started a new save in expedition mode, then i made another for my main save since i only got nms on pc a bout a few weeks ago
it went back to 0% again lol I am sitting here waiting for it to return so I can get my arm and stop all this lol
cant really transfer my ps4 save over
Oh, so in that case you just keep all your progress from expedition to a normal save.
If you want to transfer items and such, you will need to do the old 3rd party trick and have some one trade back and forth on a coop game.
bruh
so im basically screwed cause the game borked up and autocompleted the expedition
Did it give you a chance to transfer stuff to your main save?
i have 31 pirate transponders holy
i think it showed a message when i clicked purged on fire 5 but i clicked through everything super fast cause i wanted to transfer my stuff already
like i didnt even have time to read what it said kind of fast
Okay someone please confirm what's going on. I have 60 a.i carrier fragments that I need to transfer
I am still waiting for it to tell me I am done! I was and I still am waiting to finish level 5 lol
well, I was at 99% and now I am at 0% and I am waiting for it to reset and tell me I am done
restart game?
I am about to
This what I know, and maybe a more vetren expedition peep could chime in.
If you start a fresh save in Expedition mode, that save just turns into a normal save. You don't transfer anything, you just keep going and have the option of the main quest.
If you use a normal save and do the expedition, you get to carry items with you on your way back.
Someone predicted the time we'd finish tier 5 with remarkable accuracy lol.
Congratulations on doing your part, everyone
oh damn- thats actually kinda handy for starting a new save-
SAME
You'll receive the signal soon enough.
This multiplayer stuff is for the birds lol
๐ฆ ๐ฆ
i got all my base and actual stuff on my main save
guess its time for the ol save editor
cause i got no idea how else im supposed to bring the stuff over
I would wait on that
Might just wait for a patch to fix it
and how long will that be
we did it!
check on the news ticker, something is going on with the Steam branch
Get a buddy, give them stuff with your expedition save, then login with your main save.
They give it to you back.
Few days I guess.
can i give someone my ship and multitool?
cause those are the main things i want in my main save
Has anyone who started the expedition from the anomaly been able to transfer items back to their main save? I want to make sure it's not bugged before I try
Go to a station, sell your ship to a NPC, have buddy buy it.
Repeat step
Did anyone get the full liquidator minotaur? How's it?
will my game completely break if i just transfer my liquidator parts to my primary save lol
I was able to get the items, only thing I don't have are some of the liquidator minotaur item
I'm pretty sure this doesn't work anymore
FINALLY!!! DONE!
right now i'd just wait, editing the save can have unintentional side effects
sad
oh no i mean transfering it from the expedition to my primary-
that worked just fine for me when i did it earlier
with the exception that the minotaur parts didn't unlock ๐
Referring to the terminal in the anomaly, right?
ok making sure because i think i got minotuar parts from adrift too so what happens if i install these too-
yep
they take visual priority over the adrift parts... but most are just cosmetic duplicates
yaa true like the AI thing
so what im getting at is, you can only transfer expedition materials if you use an ALREADY made non-expedtion save and start an expedtion in the anomaly
therefore making a seperate expedition mode save is enitrely pointless

Well the end rewards should be available in all saves
no, the separate expedition mode save actually worked for correctly flagging the minotaur parts
me sending illegal stuff to my primary save lmao
It couuuld be your new main :D?
i ended the expedition on the main save before community objective 4 was complete cause i got impatient >.>
There's a difference between rewards and items you physically have in your inventory
The parts are in the qs shop
This has probably been asked, but the minotaur part blueprints likewise transfer back to the main save so I can build them there, right?
it doesnt feel like my main tho cause i got juiced up on all the stuff gotten through the expedition rewards
they are, but hte ones unlocked via main save expedition cannot be built by that save atm =/
i just wanted a not doodoo multitool and ship for my main save honestly
They're supposed to, but I think it's bugged right now
...Ah
dont i have to do the quest to learn the glyphs all over again too? cause they arent unlocked in expeditions
yes, you do... that's why i'm suggesting you sit tight because it looks like there's an upcoming update in the works that hasn't been released to all platforms... yet
The quest for gylphs is much easier vs expeditions.
Expeditions you need to hand find those things....I only gotten 3 lol
In the normal quest you get one each step of the quest.
WE DID IT
AYO HOW MANY NANITES????
guess i'll just work on my ocean base in my main save while i wait to see what that update does
I was not able to transfer items back
if you did expedition on a seperate save from your main one you're out of luck
quicksilver is stuck in exp save and there was no final tally
So it'd be best to not finish the expedition yet?
wth why is it recommended by some content creators to start on a new save?
THIS
all the info about expeditions i read about recommended to start it on a new save
and this is the first one ive ever done
so i had no idea about the seperate saves not having item and gear transfer things
still it didnt even do a final tally of how far i travelled scanned any of that bs.
That seems like aggressively terrible advice
that's what i found in most places
I think it's a recommendation from when the Anomaly terminal was introduced, expedition could mess with people's main saves
I think it's not a problem anymore
On any save you can go to quicksilver guy and redeem your items that you unlocked on mission at least
I always start on a new save out of habit...
but cant send nanites or quicksilver over then huh?
How do I get the egg into my main save
nor milestone cosmetics and stuff afaik
no disrepect intended. Im just pissed
Nope. But in my case it wouldn't make that much of a difference.
If I was starting a new playthrough, though...
This was such a long exp I havent waited to the end before. So i tried to make the most of it.
i finished the expedition and optional milestones but cant use the liquidator parts
Do I just hatch it and it carries over?
when you are on the inventory menu for your exocraft minotaur in the technology slots if you click on an empty one you dont see the parts?
no
Go to the
merchant...
It's bugged right now. A few people already discovered this, but it's becoming more widely known now that all the parts are out.
what can I do
I'm having the same issue with some of the parts... only reason why I'm able to make the couple I have is because i got impatient, finished out the main save expedition, then launched a stand alone expedition save
wait
Wait until HG fixes it.
The fix is in the pipeline already
HG is working on something in the Steam branch... we should wait until we see what that is
Hrm, I wonder if I could have built the Minotaur bits, packaged them up, then brought them back over to my main when closing out the expedition.
oh well
Were did you find the S rating flamethrower upgrades?
Yes. I've done exactly that.
Will you still be able to get the other bug helmets if you quit the expedition? Or do you need to stay in it and literally grind grubs?
they're at stations along with the rest of hte exocraft parts, just gotta find them
No, bug helms can be gotten on main.
missing spot is for the Liquidator legs whenever HG patches the bug =/
seems like the autopilot AI doesn't know how to use the flamethrower, RIP
just shoots it at long range
I thought it was for the flamenwurffer arm?
Autopilot AI shows us why we shouldn't fear AI
You had to be outside the expedition to gain those other helmets anyway, from what I've been told
Cheers, is that a permanent thing, or does it disappear when the expedition is officially over in September?
Should probably stay that way
Is my optional stage 5 progress supposed to be showing 0%? Asking for a friend
Oh damn, I tried to do it in my expedition save...
Just some glitching with ODS, probably
Okay, so just confirming, once you've finished the expedition, now there's no reason not to finalise it, as the community goals are done, unless you wanna keep going with it for some reason
no reason not to finalize, that I know of
I'm happy all optional are done and I can now make this my main save
HUrray
Correct, but if you have the tech slots free, ship yourself the liquidatir parts
Someone was asking about s-tier flamethrower upgrades? the station here sold them in Expedition mode...
Don't have glyph in expedition :")
How bout planet name + coordinate?
You can learn glyphs in the expedition ;P
Just gotta go to the Traveller graves
Yeh... Definitely need glyph then... Never knew that system :"x
that's why I wentstraight to glyphs
I just mark them in expe account, so i can get them later on primary save xD
Thought it's on expe system earlier :") Sorry :")
You do get all of the glyphs through one of the main story missions, to be fair
Hahaha
to be fair, I did the glyphs before those missions too
bruh what
even upgraded and supercharged my flamethrower does like 1/5 the DPS of the standard minotaur cannon
I took a long trip toward galaxy core, gathering exosuit upgrades at each syhstem and looking for travelers in each station until I got all the glyphs. Great way to start a new save
I solute you, that glyph ride was a grind. I opted to wait for the main quest to get them
I was on a quest to get my first living ship. I couldn't wait
felt great to get the glyphs and maxed out my exosuit storage at the same time!
yeah ngl its underwhelming
Perhaps worth reporting it... HG may buff it as they did with other weapons in the past.
Expi complete yet? I'm home from work soon
yep tier 5 is done!!
it's complete!
Cool ๐
im definitely going to put in a ticket lol, hopefully people on the subreddit talk about it too
it unironically needs a 10x damage buff to be good
For me weak is better I like harder combat
god damn it
.... i accidentally ended the expedition without extracting the mods
so the flamethrower is locked out to me permanently
It'll be fixed
Probably the experimental stuff notes. I'm basically just regurgitating what someone more knowledgeable about it has said
Can I choose to do another expedition of my choice after I have finished this one? It's not giving me that option at the kiosk
Just the current one.
Damn ending the expo and not transfering theods over bad idea
It's only fixed on experimental
Not even official release yet
Bummer I wanted to do the expedition 12
Do the liquidator blueprints not transfer to the main save after expedition completion?
Exp 12 rerun will probably occur around xmas time
I just noticed singular said my suggestion about epis was a good idea hell yeah lol
We can fix the info dump issue
Bug, fix in pipeline
k, thanks
How good is the flamethrower?
Not good rn but looks cool
Are both flamethrower weapons able to be used as one or do they count as two different weapons?
I'm not a fan of the left arm being a hand lol
Lol
both flamethrower weapons? there are two??
Isn't there a normal one and the expedition one or am I wrong. I assumed there was one since there is a module for it
So I started this expedition on my main save. I've heard a lot about bugs with the rewards. Am I safe to finish the expedition?
yes, the only bugs are when it comes to the minotaur rewards
Might wanna transfer over the exosuit reward stuff, cause the blueprint is glitched on main save
many people (myself included) cant get the parts they redeemed during the expedition
this is a great idea
Ok, I unfortunately have no idea how to do that. 
Was planning on doing it because I figured out they were bugged, cause I wasnt trynna waste my main resources
I'm fairly new and this is my first expedition
Create the technology, then store it, then transfer it over
^^
The bug is that you won't currently be able to build the blueprints on your main save.
Once you press the confirmation button, you will be able to transfer items. But make sure the technologies are in your inventory first
Cause if they are equipped to something, I dont think you would be able to transfer them
Ok, so that's just for the minotaur stuff, but the exo suit appearances are not bugged?
The Chitin stuff?
Those are no bugged
I meant minitaur not exosuit
Ok cool, so I need to go to a planet, deploy my minotaur and remove his tech, then go back to anomoly and put it in the transfer slots?

currently the lowest DPS weapon as far as I can tell
Just the liquidator parts, but... that bug should get fixed soon. It's the kind of thing HG fixes quickly.
So only if you really want to play safe.
For what's worth the "normal" process worked well for me.
Claimed the blueprints as rewards in my expedition save, got them normally in my main save, managed to install in my minotaur
I just didn't try with the flamethrower yet... not expecting problems, but we shall see.
You had a totally new save for the expedition, I take it. The bug seems mostly to be for those who started the expedition from the anomaly
Ok, I'm gunna stick in the anomoly and complete the expedition and see what happens
Ohh, I see. Yep, new save only for the expedition.
For those of you that have yet to return to your normal save, store the liquidator parts and transfer via the expedition terminalโฆ.
Damn :( what was the point of grinding for a flamethrower when the flame thrower can't melt metal?
Can't wait to customize colors on this thing.
Thanks everyone for doing your part
I hope my emotional support helped
I didn't know you could do that
Is phase 5 finished yet?
yes
yh
Time to claim all of your hard work ๐
I hope we even can. We still can't change colors on the hard body version and it's been years
Exactly it's the true gek way
mechant
FINALLY GOTTEN THAT VICIOUSNESS QUEST DONE
Do I craft using quicksilver or collect expedition awards at merchant?
collect
This whole expedition only gave 600 quicksilver 
Terminal says I can't use it until I complete expedition. Won't that convert the save?
Have we only ever been able to redo past expeditions once?
No there's been a few reruns
No almost all of them have been rerun or their final rewards have been added to a different rerun
I did my part!
you got 600? i only got 505
i got 100k nanites though so that's cool
NOOOOO IT NEVER GAVE ME THE OPTION TO TRANSFER ITEMSSS
Made about the same number of units as the amount I can get in 10 minutes ๐คฆ๐ป
i SAVED ALL MY INVENTORY MODULE STUFF AND EVERYTHING ;-;
Yeah me either. I have no idea how you can do that
If you want we can help eachother mule it to our main saves
Unless you're not on PS5 of course
I was able to do it last time but idk what I did wrong this time around
i'm on pc
Damn
and idk what you mean by mule
I join your game in multiplayer session. You put stuff in my inventory from your expedition character. Then you swap characters and I give it back to you
I already ended my expedition
The save is still there it converts to regular save
unless it didn't autosave when I force quit the game
You can't mule unless both people are done with expedition and it has converted to a normal save anyway
Devs have a color option inbound next patch.
Finally
it did auto save ;-;
Anyway if someone is on PS5 and wants to help me mule lmk
aint the game cross platform?
I don't know HOW I survived to complete these 2 milestones solo. I'm surprised I didn't die 6 times, let alone once! Whose idea was it to make us fight the brood mother while also having to fight off waves of both biological horrors AND sentinels?!?!?!?!?!?
Whoever it was, I should give them a medal.
I didn't have any trouble with it. Stun locked everything
I enjoyed the fight greatly. Even my companion was killing stuff.
It's just a regular save now. Unless you deleted it you should be able to load it
it isn't a regular save for me
never showed up as a save
That's... Odd
I am hardstuck on finding a 12.0 pav creature, any idea? I;'m at 11.2 lol
if you are at the "has a ..apex predator" planet, check the caves

how do i know if there is one
check the pinned messages, there is a planet in one of the drop zone systems literally called that way as far as i remember
A planet in one of the drop zone systems has one. Either the same phase as it's in or the next, I forget. But it's a small harmless underground critter lol

Found one in the pins, someone changed the name to "ugly little planet" but it's the same one. Found a 16,
Also LMAO there is SO many of them, that has to be a bug
Ho boy, looks like a lot of people (myself included) aren't able to install the new mech parts because of a bug. 
Also wow this is an HDR screenshot in 1440P.
Why does it look so bad ?
So as soon as I got off that planet I went into the anomaly to spend nanites on tech & modules on base parts, and as soon as I looked at the Exocraft research station I remembered that I now have a Minotaur exocraft with AI & several weapon upgrades etc. Maybe people who aren't so good with combat (like me) are supposed to use that for the fight.
I'll bring it with me when I go collecting more eggs soon, test out having it defend me on AI mode
See the two ways to start an expedition: #nms-questions message
Do I need to take the Liquidator limb replacement technologies off and put them in the terminus, or is that considered the exclusive content for purposes of transfering?
Wait, were you supposed to do those with other people???
"Supposed to"? Not that I know of. I have multiplayer disabled.
Is there a way to transfer the multi tool over?
Copy it from the terminal
Awesome, thx
That appears to be the only way to get them on your main save right now, due to the bug.
You can also wait for the bug to be patched, which seems to be soon
the faq-expedition stated that you would keep your active multitool and ship complete with tech
No, you can copy (for nanites) the active MT and ship
Only if you use the terminal to transfer them
Though you can do that at any point, even before ending the expedition
great i forgot to pack the minotaur tech in when i finished the expedition...
- Don't remove the hardframe parts
- Do put the liquidator parts next to their corresponding hardframe parts โ there appears to be an adjacency bonus
I'm guessing I don't have all of these issues since I used a new save for the expedition and it's now my main
When I started the expedition, I thought I would keep everything, so I started working on other things like in my main save. But then I realised this is only if you convert it to a separate save, which I think you can only do if you started your game with an expedition (ie not any other mode)

Is there a list of items you should transfer back after an expedition?
Hello, when I logged in today the expedition was complete and I got a message saying my save was converted to a normal save. I tried to transfer my items to my main save but I can't. Can anyone help me? I was really looking forward to transfering stuff
I'm guessing you started a new save instead of starting the expedition from the Anomaly terminal
how did it complete without you collecting your optional quests?
Unknown, but I'd say storage expansions, anything which can be refined to nanites, any tech which you want to installโฆ
I collected everything
ah
Yeah thats right!
Then it'll always be a different save. You can't transfer stuff between saves
You can only transfer from expedition if you started it through the Anomaly terminal in a main save
oh my goshhhhh, I read everywhere online and got mixed messages
Alright, no worries. I guess my bad then
That's the reason I added #nms-questions message to the message I wrote that got pinned
Remember: if there's more to transfer than will fit in the avaiable 8+24 slots, save (enter & exit your ship) then return to main save via the options menu.
The ability to start an expedition from a main save is less than a year old, though. So a lot of older information will not ever talk about that option
Cheers. I'm thinking of salvaging all my expedition gear (MTs and ships) to see if I can get some expansion slots, because I won't get them when I end the expedition
If you're copying the multitool or ship, don't remove items from them until you've done that.
Thanks so much for the help! I was really looking forward to transfering everything and having fun in my main
Anyone know what material overdoses size in the gene sequencer?
Next time I'll do it from terminal
It's already possible on experimental!
it seems like the main issue is being unable to build the minotaur liquidator parts even if you bought them from the QS shop. To get around this, you can do what I did: build the parts on a minotaur in your expedition, then package up the technology and take it with you back to your main save
the first four tech slots are the liquidator parts
So you can transfer more than 8 tech + 24 items this way? Has this been confirmed?
I've done that myself, and I'm keeping the expedition mode available for now to see if I can continue to get more quicksilver.
Yep, already copied them to my main save weeks ago, and they are much better on my main save, now ๐
Do I copy my multi tool after hitting end expedition?
You can do it before, by returning to main save from the options
All it says is end expedition.
Should I remove all the items I've added to the inventory?
Options menu, not the expedition terminal.
Ah, you can still do it after you've ended the expedition... Great
Ah, that would've made sense.
I did this and I was able to put them on my main save. Thanks ๐
Rip, I have too many jetpack components lol
- Claim milestone rewards on the expedition
- Back to your save, go to the QS vendor
- Claim the blueprints free of charge on the regular shop (they are not under expedition rewards)
- Install them on your minotaur, profit.
Be mindful of a bug in which people aren't getting the blueprints.
Thatโd be me, people not getting the blueprints
Oh shoot. ๐
Well, wait for a patch then. Shouldn't take long.
...or, if you didn't finish the expedition, I guess you can install the parts on your minotaur there, package the tech and bring it back to your main save...
sO
I get on, finished my frigate, get warped out the build area and now I'm stuck in a wall between were the hanger is and the control deck.
Because it switched the save state, I have no backup save and it auto saved as I fell...
So solutions?
There's a โreset positionโ button in one of the menus โ options, I think.
god Atlas bless you
Ancestor's guide me
Back in main save after wondrous Liquidators expedition (loved it!). My minotaur has the old 'hard frame' parts. I have the liquidator parts 'already owned' in the quicksilver kiosk place but how do you install them? Can't see how to actually get them back in the main save. Any ideas?

I honestly think the hardframe and liquidator parts installing at the same time is a bug I expect it to be patched lok
Bug
What are people's thoughts on the expedition backpack?
I really don't like it, but eh it's not for everyone.
I mean, the entire armor set is too freakish to me lol
Right now you have to use 4/8 tech slots to transfer the parts
I'd recommend the s class upgrades too for 7/8
I'm annoyed no legs or body but 4 heads
It's a incomplete set lol
Ah, ok thx
Np
?
I'm not sure what you mean,
Once you've clicked 'finish expedition' there's no going back to load tech into them thar slots no?
woo. it is done. 5/5
It's a incomplete set
Leg, gloves, head, chest & backpack only it's missing two options
there was the 4 decorative heads?
and the one character customization?
Correct
yeah, that was really annoying.
Yes defeat queens in main save 1/5 odds
what do you mean 1/5 odds, sorry.
The stats at the end of the expedition was something else. I'd killed something like 2600 sentinels I think it said!
20% chance
What?!?!
Yeh
can you get all 4 or only 1 of them.
its okay even out of the expedition you can grind for the helmets
Was there a difference between taking out a Vile Spawn with the Minotaur or just in the exosuit?
just find the "juicy grubs"
Grind for all 4
ah, okay... I weally want a better one lol,
mine kinda sucks imo
Let the gek first spawn guide your hand in crushing the vermin
All bugs shall perish
..... you people and the bug helmets
Just a PSA, there is a bug with exp, you cannot install /claim new Liquidator Minotaur parts after completing exp. So either pack them up first or wait for bugfix from HG.
I still don't really understand it
argh, I'll have to go in and do inventory mangment....
i stopped playing today just for that reason lol
The whole sentinel ship collecting during Liquidators was bugged pretty bad. I ended up tooling about in the Iron Vulture and not in the most beautiful black & red dragonfly. It's nice to be back in it again.
I still can't believe I missed adrift
Some bs lol
Why did orbital need a expo all they did was upgrade stations lol
whats adrift?
Name of the expo I missed
Oooookay, big issue.
I ended the expedition thinking the minotaur pieces would just be buildable parts in my exocraft menu.
They aren't.
So I went to the quicksilver vender thinking I needed to claim them there.
Says they've already been claimed.
So I can't build them, and I can't claim them.
Have I just lost the rewards for all that work??
FFFFFFFFFFFFF~~~~~~~
HG is working on a fix
Yeah, turns out we'll likely have to wait for a bugfix. If you haven't finished the expo and can go back into it you maybe can put the parts into the transfer boxes. I asked this exact same thing just now!
Ugh, I ended the expo thinking things would be okay.
So much for that.
Wait...if I already finished my expedition save, claimed things on my main save and deleted my expedition save...have I screwed myself over?
For the time being it looks like 'yes'!
Just gotta wait for the bug fix, I guess.
On the other hand my bases have been fixed while I was away on the expedition - no longer 4 feet under terrain etc..
My entire home planet changed from apurple mushroom planet to a green grass planet with flying sentient plants.
No complaints here.
I'm on Steam/PC
Oh on PC it should be fixed in experimental already
I'm on Switch so I'm praying hard.
I thought some of the new planets were jaw-dropping beautiful. The plants in particular had a hallucinatory quality - bewitching.
I LITERALLY just came here for the same problem!!! ๐ฑ
Has anyone gotten the new Minotaur parts after finishing the expedition?? I know I collected them, it says I own them in the Anomaly, but I canโt โbuildโ or add them.
common and known bug when you did the expedition on your main save
Yeah, it was on my main save. I assume people reported it to Hello Games already?
can't hurt to report it yourself. everyone assumes someone else has already reported something
and besides with the size of the community vs the size of the dev team they're probably drowning in tickets anyway, so more tickets for an issue will help it get seen faster
Yeah, Iโll go ahead and report it. And man, I HATE what theyโve done to my fav โbubbleโ planet. Weather always used to be perfect, it was blue and purple with orange trees, now it has heavy storms, green and red and the bubbles are gone, replaced by dust, among other unpleasant changes to my gorgeous little base. ๐ญ
But I digress. Fingers crossed they fix this bug.
what platform are you on? i thought they already reverted paradise planets that got re-seeded but i could've misunderstood one of the patches
It was specifically ones that got infested that got reverted iirc
ah, gotcha
Submitted bug report.
I guess thatโs what sucks, it was not considered a โparadise planetโ it was under โmisty planetโ or something, and it changed to โrainy planet.โ
PS5.
how do I get the big bug queen fights again?
I wanna get all the helmets.
Crush grub
ah, thank you.
are they only on specific planets or on all of them?
It'll show from space
Ok so how do I start the "main" story
guys i've question about expedition i just loggin and it said expention is finish. and i fly to anamoly it popping up some msg that it will convert my save to normal game. now i try to follow many youtube video about transfering expidition to main save but that option is gone. is that mean now i can't transfer any item back to my main save right? btw, i'm on ps5
vile brood detected on planet -> find grub, pick up -> crush in inventory
Amazing, thanks.
Not seeing an option in main save to craft new exocraft parts. I see them in the catalogue but they are greyed out. This the bug people been experiencing?
yes
Was just coming here to ask about that. I saw something about the bug on Reddit, but no details.
So, should we not end expedition yet?
Im just gonna leave it open and wait for a patch hopefully
question: I got the drop for wiring, quantum computer but I didnt know so I sold them already, is there a way to get them back?
Do I need rancid flesh at all for this expedition? I've gathered a bunch killing the biological horrors and I know you can refine them in a nutrient processor but I don't know if I will need it.
I want to sell it.
there was a milestone where you refine it but after that you can sell it
you can buy or craft quantum computers. buy at the space station, craft in your inventory
Found a Robotic Drone in a different game. It came pre-equipped with Blue Dye. I'm naming it Laylaps.
My love for this game will follow me into other games.
No, as this is a separate save. This will convert to a normal save after the expedition if you want to keep playing it but if you already have a save going, nothing you do here will transfer over, except the claimable rewards from the Quicksilver dealer.
not true if you launched expedition through the anomaly terminal, from main save
in that case though, minotaur changes should still not come through, only transfer items and currencies
can I have the hardframe and liquidator right arms both installed?
I have them on mine
all parts can be installed at once - shootin flame from one hand and stuns from the other along with normal guns - with hard frame and legs - all looks snazy. Now just waiting for nms to get the bug fixed so i can have them on my main install
thanks
ok I see what you meant, I think I saw someone posted a screenshot that minotaur upgrade will be attainable using quicksilver
hopefully I will have enough quicksilver to claim them, but we can always get quicksilver points in main save right?
Yup, through a rotating selection of missions
It goes on and off
so.. i can't complete the expedition fully?
didn't work for me, even after completing Exp and having everything done. QS rewards were missing, no parts in vendor unlock in nexus. Just bugged. So repack exp parts if you want them or wait for bugfix I guess (hope)
I see the expedition is complete for most.
just hop to and from a planet for a bit. that fixed it for me the other day
Ladies. Gentlemen. Liquidators. it's been an honor ๐ซก
๐ซก
it's already done, I got it just now loading into the game
I did my part.
final tally: 731 horrors obliterated. 465 sentinels erased
whoah
Also to those with more experience, when would you suggest a somewhat newb, to expeditions, try the expedition?
how long ago did you start playing?
About a week I think but can only play at night
I played for the first time at launch, pre-ordered actually. But just recently picked it back up again
crud. i was gonna say a week was the cut off point. well, i'm still gonna say yes. the Expeditions run you through straight forward tutorials as long as you stay on track and ignore the other main story content
I have only like done one or two warps only so far, so though I have like 12 13 hours I have not really been focused on just story. I keep getting super distracted
Exosuit upgrades, Manufacture facilities, distress signals, monoliths... not to mention guild missions
I started the expedition a week into my playtime.
Since it's a new start adn everything.
Along with the fact that you're given powerful stuff.
You can start whenever reallu.
the only reason i say to avoid story content during the expedition is because you will physically get lost. you have to visit 5 specific planets and they're close together
this chat and the reddit will help with any questions you have, but yeah. if you played a little at launch and have a week in, sure. good luck :3
Thanks as well for the advice I might give it a whirl. I know a lot of the basic things โค๏ธ
Annnnd done, another expedition complete!
Noticed some people can and some people cannot install the new minotaur tech. Do we know what causes this?
I feel kinda lost back in my main saveโฆ gotta remember how to do non-bug stomping things again.
I enjoyed the expedition experience, bonus: acquired 10 ships in addition to my star ship that it gave me at the beginning of the expedition
From those, I got 1 s class interceptor 3 regular interceptor and 6 ships that are: solar, fighter, and hauler
Thanks for the good time guys and all your guidance, help, and tips
Going to wrap up my expedition tomorrow too tired right now
Really like how they didnt force us to build a base this time
Too bad the vile brood bosses didn't seem to drop anything, and were steamrollable by the 1st
Did they add those to regular world?
Transfer tech from expo to main game, you'll be alright if you do that
so... i just finished the expedition.... and i think something is wrong with my game screen....
it says im getting 2.9 billion units from ending it
Yeah it adds up a bunch of stuff you get rewarded money and nanites
2.9B units, 52k nanites, and 2300 quicksilver.. like wtf.
oh cool. it let me copy my starship. thats handy. i didnt want to have to rebuild it..lol
Yea you can find grubs still, just a lot more rare now.
So rarer but still gives no loot? x)
When you kill the bosses they have a chance of dropping variations of the bug accessory I believe.
Peeps were telling me to just save as many grubs as you can for the chances of getting the loot is higher when converted to a normal save. But you find less of the gaint grubs themselves.
Ah, I don't think I got anything from any chapter lol
there are a bunch of pinned messages in this channel specific to the expedition, if you get stuck. you should be ok.
Going to be awhile for me to get use to not having Horrors spawn every time I toucha building.
So... wait. How do I get the flamethrower on my main save? I earned it in the Expedition.
Is the current expedition a long one as far as average time spent or kind of par for the course?
As of today, its a lot quicker.
Basically average length, tho
What changed today?
Community Milestones finished
Ah, got it.
So is the "Chitin Flight Pack" super powerful compared with other things or is it appeal purely cosmetic?
That's great, thanks for the heads-up! I'll pop in and claim my last rewards ๐
Cosmetic. Just matches the Bug motif
How do I get the flamethrower on my main save? I earned it in the Expedition.
Should be available from the QS vendorbot
I checked earlier. Let me check again after reloading.
Not sure I'm convinced to put in the time for these rewards.
It does not seem to be.
Oh, wait, it's not under Expedition Rewards. But why can't I build these?
I've done em all, so by this point I'm just collecting the decals
I wasn't able to find any of the minotaur pieces in the QS vendor after completing the expedition the first time. Re-running it now with my main save and will de-mount the tech and transfer it over just in case.
(As well as the water-lander thing for the ship)
I wish I had remembered I wanted to dismount the tech before transferring to my main.
Maybe a bug? I jumped in to collect them, but havent tried installing yet
is this the only way? i am sitting in the END EXPEDITION screen and thinking i need to force close my game and start again
Yeah, I've done them all too, but I'm really busy this month. Not sure it's worth it.
I'm only able to build hardframe, not liquidator.
i just noticed there was no liquidator plans in the rewards list - meaning it wouldnt be in the quicksilver vendor
It's in under the 'standard' section rather than the expedition one. As if they were earned outside of an expedition.
they're there
i see
Maybe restart and try again? idk. Bugs happen with HG
Already restarted. Same result.
can confirm force closing my game restarted my save where i left my ship in the anomaly - unsure if there are other issues to come
returned to final planet where minotaur showed up and salvaged the tech (and cannon s upgrades x 3)
1691 horros killed - my contribution
This was the Genocide Expedition
over a million unit earned for waypoints alone
im confused how to tell when the last optional objective is done. the bar looks full but it says 12%
did you also complete your personal objective of removing X amount of monstrocities?
yea
Are you online, connected to ods?
If you have completed all objectives you should be able to complete the reward through the expedition log by clicking on the mission; it should say 'claim reward' right underneath the objective log.
Try restarting the game/connecting to the online service
Probably easiest way to check is to fly into the anomaly
Online discovery service on discoveries tab says it's available?
For some reason, the new Liquidator Minotaur Limb Replacement pieces are not listed as an expedition reward, but rather as a standard quicksilver item, with no cost to claim on a different save
why le rank 5 expedition is at 0% ?
We have completed the community milestones. Are you connected to the online NMS game service?
got the 4 completedand just 5 is 0%, was at 98% yesterday
That is strange, it should be at 100%, have you tried reloading your expedition save file?
relaunched the game and its ok
any way I could find alluring specimen faster? Ive been doing this quest but all I keep finding is abyssal horror ๐ฅฒ
Underwater.
yes Im in a planet where mostly water
but I keep finding abyssal horror
is that like an rng thing?
Can I store up items in the anomaly terminal without reverting to my normal save?
Iโm scrapping interceptors for the seemingly guaranteed storage augmentation and I want to store them in the terminal as I fill my inventory
I do, Im at 2/3
Iโm just not trying to claim the final phases if itโs going to force me to revert
is it an rng thing?
Visor, red icon shows alluring specimen
Alluring specimen is like a red rhombus icon with white circles of varying size inside
Eh .... i think infestation site is bugged or something
i was about to land on one of the infestation sight when pirates attacks me
so i got into a combat with them and somehow got off the planet or something
and now it is show me that infestation site is in space @_@ help
I cant' complete Expedition Alpha? I need to read the logs, but I thought I already did that. Twice. Now I have no marker and I can't complete the expedition...
Try crushing a vile grub in your inventory
Where do I get one? I don't have any ::(
All over the place in the expedition. Shows up in visor, IIRC
ah okay thanks! :)
Just a reminder for anyone about to end the expedition started from an existing save.
There is currently a bug in place that does not unlock the Minotaur Parts on your primary save (finishing the expedition has no effect)
Before finally ending the expedition, first
- package your installed Minotaur body parts and place them into the Nexus Terminal in the anomaly. (where your start/end expeditions)
- switch to your Primary Save and collect the packaded tech from the terminal
- return to the expedition character and proceed to finish the expeidtion (you can send items to your primary save several times)
could probably be pinned
One of the milestones should give you hazmat gauntlets
Infestation Alpha.
Which... is bugged apparently.
Where the hell is the Vanguard Unit?
Wish it would have a marker, but apparently not.
When I end the expedition, do all the currencies I've earned get put to my primary?
Not a separate save, if that helps any.
just discovered that the sentinel and liquidator legs at least seem to stack their effects?
the legs have engine stat boosts and when placed next to each other they highlight in the same colour
is this supposed to happen?
technically same thing happens with the body parts, but they dont seem to have stat boosts listed
just done this and got over a billion units and 50k nanites added to my main save
You can always try to fully restart your PC and then start the game to see if that helps. Otherwise you can also unlock the hazmat gauntlets from the Anomaly
Ah, okay. ๐ I'll probably try that.
do i need to click End Expedition to be able to move stuff from expedition account into the Expe terminal in anomaly?
Yes, but remember that you cannot return after the fact
๐ฑ
I made that mistake yesterday. I thought I could return my stuff to my mainsave after clicking end expedition but it turned out I had to do it before that ๐
eh wait what
so, i put stuff before clicking End Expedition?
or after clicking End Expedition?
i got 55k nanites just from my 2k horror kills ๐ฎ
am suuuuure there be plenty who killed more though ;o wonder how many they got x)
On youtube, it said End Expedition, then put stash, and then click again End Expedition, or it doesn't work that way anymore? xd
Thanks! This worked :)
That's what I've heard too
Just a quick question, if I copy the multitool from the expedition, the installed tech does not copy, right?
they do iirc
after I realized to conversion rate I was sad I didn't kill any more
oh I forgot those things convert into nanites.
i'd say same.... but do i need any more? x)
I'd like to upgrade more then 1 startship to S class (:
pretty much all i'd be doing with them too..
I forgot to Put the Tech in at the Expedition end, Hope i can get the Upgrades anyway later on
Which multi-tool is rewarded by the current expidition? I forgot the name and have a bunch.
I have no idea. I remembered it that way too. Maybe a bug? Idk
Yea, I remember it that way too, wasn't that what happened last expedition?
I wasnt given an option to transfer stuff after pressing end expedition the first time. Only gave me a confirm or cancle option
Yeah. Well, I'm not too happy to loose my inventory haha. There were some things I wanted to transfer back to my normal save.
Agreed
I was able to transfer stuff
What did you need to do?
Put stuff in the inventory slots before pressing "start expedition"
Im talking about before ending the expedition
Ooh. Sorry.
Lol no worries
I didn't get this either. I remember trying to put stuff back into my inventory before ending it but it didn't work so I pressed "end expedition" but then I was directed right to the stats and couldn't transfer stuff back.
I thought I made a mistake.
Probably a bug
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEKDGhdWz-Y it didnt happen like the one in this youtube?
im afraid to end it rn ๐ญ
No. After confirming to end the expedition I was directed straight to the stats. No option to send stuff back.
Maybe we can report it and let HG take care of it before you and any others end the expedition?
Afaik you can still return to your primary save without trouble. It doesn't end the expedition.
Yeah can return to primary save
Okeyy
Just made a ticket for the bug @cobalt shore i suggest you do the same
Did you start the expedition from the anomaly?
Hey I didnt get the stuff like the legs for the Minotaur after I ended the expedition
There appears to be an issue with unlocking parts for those that completed the expedition.
It looks like it's gonna need a bugfix to address though.
Know issue. I posted a work around yesterday but it only works if you know about it prior to finishing the expedition
If you already finished it, you'll have to wait for a patch (or use a save editor if you're on pc, but probably safer to just wait)
I don't think the parts were intended to be expedition only since they show up in the QS shop for those who didn't want to wait on the optional milestones
game wont let me put anything in, am I missing something
It's a bug I experienced too
You have to actually finish the expedition
Glad you got a picture of it, since I didnt
Make sure every milestone is hit, including the optional ones
I'm trying to but pressing return to primary save doesnt actually end it. I can still go back in
Ohh
oh huh lemme see
And make sure you claim evey milestone reward
I didnt have it
I didnt have it
You have to claim the rewards
BTW there is one more work around the Minotaur parts that I found
Wait did you claim the rewards for completeing the dtuff
yea
Make a video of you ending the expedition, and try to put stuff in the inventory transfer slot
If you dont claim them in expedition you can buy them for silver
Then send it here or dm me it please
@shy stirrup when it does work, make sure you package up the liquidator parts and put them there
Otherwise you may not have access to them in your main save
heres a screenshot if that helps
Ideally we get a patch, but this is a temporary solution
Did you press anything before you were able to do that?
i had to go into the expedition menu and claim one of the milestones
Anything after that though?
i had finished it but forgotten to collect it, maybe theres something similar for u
no
there was just a pop up saying i finished the expedition
You have to claim every reward, but I'm also hearing reports that that might be what's causing the bug in main saves
It might be a double edged sword
I can't confirm it though
Dang, I must've not noticed the different hue of grey
I did. But I thought after pressing end expedition, that it would give me the option to transfer items, like I thought it did last expedition.
Someone who does have the blueprints working correctly could also package them up and send them to you in your main save
But that requires another person willing to help
I'd help but I think mine are bugged too
I'll just wait for them to fix the blueprint bug
Thanks though
I more bummed about the inventory slots and weapon slots I stocked up that I lost
I gathered 60 ai carrier fragments (no duping or hacks) so I was very careful when I ended the expedition lol
Dang lol
Along with 50 echo locators
I feeling sick yesterday so I didnt have the will power to be so careful
I just wanted them rewards
I was*
Odd ... Claimed parts in Expedition and visiting the QS Vendor in main save shows this ... Do note the parts are not in the Expedition Rewards section of the QS Vendor menu.
It's for a big interceptor hunt to find my dream ship without using existing coordinates/glyphs
I know, but that doesn't mean you can actually build them lol
That's the bug
wow some people probably got crazy nanites for this
I got like 50k nanites but it was for other stuff like destroying sentinel ships
