nms-expedition

[stone lotus]

BTW I learned of a neat trick for farming a.i carrier fragments: shoot the space station first as it'll put you at wanted level 4 instantly. Then fly away (do not pulse jump though or it bugs it out) and then continue the fight from there. It's much quicker than starting from 1 star, but sometimes you'll have to fight the 4th wave twice when doing this method (still faster though)

[stone lotus]

It's not consistent

Some players have the bug, others don't

This channel has been full of reports about it

We're not entirely sure yet what causes it

[wraith badge]

I know ... would be interesting to know if those with the bug started the expedition from an existing save ... I started a new save and I've not had any issues claiming or installed the parts.

[stone lotus]

It seems like there's a lot of overlap between those who went through the anomaly and those that are getting the bug

Since it's working for you though, you could always build a bunch of them (by packing up the technology) and give it to players who have the bug

[cobalt shore]

Yes

Hm

[floral timber]

Hey, I need some tips for fighting Abyssal Horrors for that one part of the expedition, does anyone have any good strategies for fighting them?

[stone lotus]

Shoot lol

There's not really any strategies

[static blaze]

point and click

[stone lotus]

Just get in range and kill it before it drags you all the way in

[scenic axle]

I got 53k nanites for around 1.4 k kills

[floral timber]

I meant the angler ones, not the stationary ones

[stone lotus]

Again, shoot lol. Or are you asking how to find them?

[floral timber]

I was asking how to fight them, thanks

[static blaze]

what multi tool you using?

[floral timber]

S-Class Sentinel Multitool

[static blaze]

oh okay and what weapon you have equipped to it?

[floral timber]

Scatter Blaster, Blaze Javelin, Neutron Cannon, Boltcaster, Pulse Splitter, and Plasma Launcher. I mostly use the scatter blaster, though.

[static blaze]

wait are you using the one thye gave you starting the expedition?

[swift dune]

whats the chance of getting all hadal core with no monstrosity

[floral timber]

Yeah

[swift dune]

u finding thgem ?

[static blaze]

oh then youll be fine fighting it then. once you activate the monster just quickley swim up while shooting at it

with the scatter blaster you will take it down easily

[floral timber]

Alright, thank you

[static blaze]

np!

[swift dune]

how the flip u guys finding it

[static blaze]

the underwater monstrosities?

[swift dune]

yh

i cant get specimens

[floral timber]

Also, would it be a good idea to have my minotaur near the Alluring Specimen so that it can also do damage with its autopilot?

[static blaze]

go to any planet with deep enough waters and look for the yellow icons

[swift dune]

or when i do they dont spawn and i get al hadal cores

[floral timber]

ok i got one

for some reason it took like 20 seconds before i could use my multitool

[static blaze]

are you finding the right one?

[swift dune]

yh

not horrors

the monstrosity

[static blaze]

huh thats weird

they supposed to spawn

[swift dune]

ikr

[fickle night]

Already claim all the hadal cores?

[merry zealot]

I would say no. If you attack too soon the monster does not appear and the minatour has no self control! Take the cores until the monster appears and shoot.

[static blaze]

if anything renter the planet and try again? Could be a bug prob

[swift dune]

imma reload gam

[fickle night]

I hate fighting the monstrosity ngl, it gives me heart attack xD

[swift dune]

is ez

i just pit like 1-2 pulse spitter burst and it explodes

[floral timber]

Does the monstrosity cause your multi tool to stop working for a bit? Since I couldnt use it for a few seconds after it spawned

[swift dune]

also rate the loading into game music outa 10

[stone lotus]

I've had music in the game off since like 2018 lol

I listen to other music while playing

[swift dune]

fairs

[floral timber]

2/3 monstrosities down, yeah it definetively does something to your multitool

[swift dune]

it better be the wheels on the bus or ur missng out

[valid roost]

Yh so off topic, I think the flamethrower needs a buff

[swift dune]

THERES FLAMETHROWERS

[valid roost]

Like for a final award in the community expedition I'd imagine it to be a high damage sort of weapon, but it struggles to take out even a sentinel scout (or wtv the variation is called)

[valid roost]

Yh, check your community thing

[fair badge]

Watch out for your Liquidator, mine tends to run off killing random ahh creatures.

[valid roost]

Even when you don't attack them first?

[fair badge]

Yeh.

[valid roost]

Ah

[fair badge]

It just wants to murder stuff.

[valid roost]

Fair

Mine would either help out killing random creatures or js stand there like an idiot lol

[fair badge]

I made a Decepticon.

Yeeeh...

Sometimes I just get out of it and it just frickin... Starts flying around to kill animals.

And burning them.

[valid roost]

You should call it hans then lol

[fair badge]

Probably.

[west forum]

PSA: For those of you who don't have the new Liquidator parts for your main save and haven't ended the expidition, you can build all the parts in the Expidition and then store and transfer them back to your main save to get them now without waiting for the (hopefully) upcoming bug fix.

[fickle night]

It is ez, but the sudden burst and the screaming, it gives me jumpscare 😆

[fair badge]

I don't like scary stuff either-

Well first time I kinda knew what was gonna happen but I still went for it.

Other times weren't very scary.

...I wonder if I can use the Liquidator's flamethower underwater.

[karmic valve]

have same bug, AND cant build them, but claimed them in the expedition

cant claim nor build them, but claimed and built them in the expedition

[wraith badge]

Did you start the Expedition from an existing save?

[karmic valve]

yes

[wraith badge]

that could be why you're having issues ... i started a new save and i've had no issues.

and I also claimed/built them on my main save from the Anomaly

[cerulean olive]

Lucrative exped, this time 😄

[valid roost]

Alr so quick question, what does everyone think of the flammenwerfer (for those who unlocked it)

[meager scroll]

For a such combat oriented peace of gear, it could use a bit of a damage boost

My mining beam with S class ugprades does more damage

[fringe agate]

Yeah, but how does it look?

[meager scroll]

Hard to say when 40% of screen estate is blocked by the minotaur view

At least in 3rd person mode

The actual fire visuals seem roughly the same as from the multitool flamethrower

I think the crosshair is also the same, which is helluva stupid on its own

[floral timber]

Do I need to put the Liquidator minotaur parts in the expedition terminal to get them back to my main save, or do I still get them there without it?

[humble lotus]

I shall try to one up this

Although I have no means to count

[stone lotus]

Right now yes due to a bug

So do that or wait for a bug fix

[cerulean olive]

And the range is very short. I was expecting a lot longer range, but it is just melee ranged. bummer.

[meager scroll]

Yup that too

I tried to kill some worms with it, had to get close enough to get smacked

[cerulean olive]

it feels pretty useless. Nice for screenshots, but for combat it lacks a lot. I have 3 S-Class modules installed and still damage isn't as good as my normal laser/cannon.

[silver mist]

do you keep every liquidator limb for your exo suit when you leave exp to your main save???

or do i have to craft everything and then taking it with me?

[stone lotus]

Craft, assuming it works at all lol

There's a bug right now where some players can't access the recipes in their main save

A temporary work around, if you haven't finished the expedition yet and started it through the anomaly, is to build the parts in the expedition then package them up and bring them through the terminal in the anomaly

[meager scroll]

Or buy them with QS to unlock account wide?

My understanding is that the optional milestores reward plenty of QS

[stone lotus]

It isn't working

It'll say unlocked but then the recipe won't show up on the minotaur

[meager scroll]

Really?

I bought them on my main save with QS and was able to install all 4 pieces

[stone lotus]

#nms-questions message

Again, it's not consistent

[meager scroll]

The expedition was done on a separate save

[stone lotus]

The issue primarily effects people who did the expedition on their main save

[meager scroll]

Aight, good to know, thanks

[silver mist]

ok f...

[bronze night]

You can do the expedition on your main save?

[ornate wing]

Yes, you just activate it at the Anomoly.

[slim wagon]

How often have there been expedition reruns?

[wanton frigate]

happens over christmas every year, I think, but usually it's the expeditions from that year. Last year they reran an old one too.

[boreal violet]

Anyone else having issues building your new mech?
On series x quicksilver says I have already collected them all but I am missing the legs & left arm?

[pearl pecan]

I think it's a known bug at this point. I'm waiting to see if it gets fixed by the end of expedition

[faint mesa]

Probably before that. It wouldn't surprise me if they managed to fix before the next patch even.

[pearl pecan]

oh, that's good to know

[fringe lily]

Same for me, I already own them all but can’t install any of them

[faint mesa]

Yeah, known issue, many people are facing it unfortunately

[boreal violet]

I sent pics to zen desk

[pearl pecan]

I saw it was a bug on reddit, even got the techs in my inventory to pass it back, but thought I would get a prompt to put the items in the storage transfer after I click in the Finish Expedition button, now I'm just "okay, then, I'll just focus something else for now"

[boreal violet]

Expedition has ended hasn't it?

[faint mesa]

September 2nd if I recall correctly

[boreal violet]

I realise why I thought it was finished with this message at the Anomaly then remembered you can only do expedition once on your main save 😔

[valid roost]

Yeah, it feels a bit lacking if I'm gonna be honest, especially for a combat-themed expedition. I kept the right arm from my hardframe with the new right arm of the liquidator just to make up for the lack of damage from the flamethrower

[peak oyster]

I have that problem yes, but I'm missing all the blueprints even when they all are unlocked (Steam). I've reported the issue to Hello Games

[valid roost]

While you're at it you might also want to suggest a buff to the flamethrower

Make it more worthwhile

[ornate wing]

IMO Flamethrower should came as the first part of the arm upgrades. Kinda feels meh after fighting bugs so long, then not having squishy organic creatures to fight next.

I do appreciate it finally mounting the Mino cannon on the arm though. That gun was way to powerful to be a simple shoulder cannon

[dusky oracle]

good morning, when you end the exped, is cargo is your exosuit inventory? and do we need to sell all items that we dont bring to main save, or it will automatically monetized?

and how much quicksilver to spend to build minotaur armor when you are back on main save?

[indigo falcon]

if you started from an existing save, you may place up to 8 tech and 24 other items in the terminal at the anomaly for transfer back to the main save. anything you do not specifically transfer will be converted to units and/or nanites, these will be trasnferred automatically. so will any units or nanties you have already accumulated on the expd version of the save.

if you have claimed the liquidator tech items on the expd version of the save or they have registered as complete, even though you did not specifically claim the rewards, you do not need to pay quicksilver to get them on other saves later.

there is a bug regarding the ability to construct some of the tech back on the main save; this has been reported to be fixed in the steam experimental branch, so wait for the hotfix to go around if you have problems; we hope this will be sometime this week.

[next sparrow]

ohh nice to hear, i'm experiencing that bug currently

[indigo falcon]

I think it's pretty widespread

[dusky oracle]

thank you, so I dont have to worry about selling what ever I dont bring from exped area right

[cerulean olive]

I was able to claim 3 Minotaur parts on my main save. Just lacking the legs and it looks weird.....

Like he's walking around without pants on.

The bug only hit me for the legs part, not the rest. Hoping the fix comes soon, so I can properly dress him up 😄

[ornate wing]

I'm curious how many of you did a expedition on a main save and grabbed a frieghter for the event?

[brisk plover]

Not fixed on Experimental branch.

[half gull]

question the character you have in expedition is that the same for all expeditions or is it a new one every time?

[brisk plover]

New each time. So far.

[half gull]

okay good to know, so i think i will take all the good tech from this one to my main one : P

thx

[brisk plover]

Take your Liquidator parts, too.

There's a bug where some people can't build them, and it doesn't seem to be fixed in the Experimental branch, either.

[half gull]

oh!! thanks for telling me couse i would just have build them, but i don't wanna gamble and find out so thanks 🙂 ❤️

[dusky oracle]

when you said take liquadator parts for minotaur? we have to repackage the module right?

gotcha

thx

[low ember]

Where can u see experimental patch notes

[dusky oracle]

but that going take spaces for upgrade module slot right?

[verbal fern]

hello there, I have finished the expedition although I am still missing on the last part of the liquidators thing but I am not getting my score increasing while killing the sentinels or the larvaes etc, does it need to be on new systems or I can just do on already explored ones? it says I have around 250 kills but the number doesn't seem to go up

[solid copper]

does anyone have the issue of new minotaur gear not showing up after claiming them at the quicksilver vendor?

[atomic estuary]

Yes, it's a known bug

[balmy void]

If they don't patch this it would be a huge L for HG. Way too many people affected to ignore it.

And this is the last time I use the expedition terminal. Fresh saves from here on out.

[brisk plover]

Honestly, considering how it's still not fixed in Experimental, I'm not even sure it's a known (to HG) bug. I've reported it, fingers crossed they can fix it. With so many other things broken for years, though, I'm not holding my breath.

[brisk plover]

Currently here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/4511003079822341151/

[ivory verge]

Hi. I'm also having this problem. It seems to be a very common problem among players. I see several players complaining about it.

[brisk plover]

Yup. It's a bug. It needs to be reported to HG as they have yet to fix it, even in Experimental.

!hg

[quasi sparrow]

am I able to copy as many multi-tools/ships from my expedition as I want?

like there are two ships I want to copy over from my expedition save, am I able to get both of them or just one?

[cold tulip]

Just one iirc

[indigo falcon]

hm ok you're the first contrary report I've heard. please report

[brisk plover]

Already did.

[indigo falcon]

it's very known. many players have posted about it, reported it, etc. but I had heard some people say that experimental fixed it for them. if it didn't for you, they need to know that

[brisk plover]

Already reported it.

With saved games attached.

And if HG had fixed it in Experimental, I'd assume it'd be in the patch notes.

(But yes, I tested in Experimental.)

[dusty elm]

I was shooting at a walker today, after he almost killed me. My ship took damage.
How do I fix this cannon? Never fought to the point of damage, but I was really pissed off at this walker.

[meager scroll]

Fix? It doesn't look damaged

[brisk totem]

what do they mean by grenade

[meager scroll]

Plasma Launcher projectile probably

[brisk totem]

ah righht

[dusty elm]

Oh ok, things were flashing on my screen that things were damaged and I thought I damaged it. Thank you!!

[wanton raft]

Must have let your shields go all the way down at some point.

[pearl wren]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@pearl wren Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[dusty elm]

I heard shield was down. I think I need to get some upgrades for that before going back.

[slow jay]

I Have Done My Part.

[brisk totem]

what am i supposed to do

i just killed "abyssal horror" and its still 0/3

[meager scroll]

You need Alluring Specimen, not Abyssal Horrors

[karmic valve]

i think they specifically want the anglerfish ones

[meager scroll]

Look for red markers underwater that say Alluring Specimen

Yes the big shreeking fish

[karmic valve]

then harvest the hadal cores till you spawn it, then kill it

[brisk totem]

bruh

found it

but

it requires advanded mining laser

[meager scroll]

... what

It's a fish

You kill it

[meager scroll]

Find the glowing ball, interact with it, get the fish to spawn, pack it full of bullets

[brisk totem]

ohh

is it normal that they hide in walls

just look at this bruh

i used the plasma launcher eventually

and i need to find 3 of these?

bruh

[brisk plover]

NMS is a terribly buggy game. Typically they spawn where the alluring specimen pickup was, or near it. If that happens to be buried in terrain... 🤷‍♂️
You can dig them out of the terrain if you need to hit them.

[brisk totem]

watch the video lol

[brisk plover]

I did. Doesn't change what I said.

[brisk totem]

well i was trying to dig thme out

[karmic valve]

iirc in one of the systems there is a planet half covered with water, friend and i spent like 15 mins yesterday to find 3 for him, had to find 4 cuz one bugged out on him and they couldn't hurt each other

[brisk totem]

and they kept going back

[brisk plover]

You can also use T to expand the area you're digging, if that helps. No idea what it is on console.

[thick umbra]

For me it works in experimental

[brisk plover]

Okay. For me it doesn't.

[thick umbra]

And that is strange 😦 I´m on Steam/PC

Ah .. stupid . you too 🙂

[brisk plover]

Were you on Experimental before transferring from Expedition to Normal?

[thick umbra]

yes .. but I did start a new save .. not from an exisiting save

[swift dune]

how to get flamethrower

level up?

[thick umbra]

Left arm has it

[brisk plover]

Okay. Yeah, then the entire opposite of my situation:

• I was on non-Experimental.
• Existing save to Expedition.
• Ended Expedition, game wouldn't let me build, parts are "already claimed" in QS vendor.
• Switching to Experimental build did not fix.

[thick umbra]

Ok..I was all the time in experimental

[brisk plover]

Yours might be working because it was a fresh save, and have nothing to do with Experimental at all.

[thick umbra]

Got it .. than its a bug

@brisk plover just a guess,, did you mount the gear in your Minotaur during the expedition ?

[brisk plover]

Not all of it. I didn't install the flamethrower.

[thick umbra]

May be worth to let HG know about this

[swift dune]

do the arms give a huge increase in dmg and stuff

[brisk plover]

Eh. They already have my saved game, and a report. If they need to ask, they can email me.

[quasi sparrow]

I think you can create as many as you want as long as you don't end the expedition

regardless, I'm done, that was fun!

[thick umbra]

Another question .. can you claim the gears in another saves ?

[indigo falcon]

not necessarily, and as I said, other players reported that it was fixed for them. so I assume whatever the issue is, they didn't fix it completely.

[brisk plover]

Did others report that it was fixed? As in, it was broken for them, and switching to experimental fixed it? Or did they report that it was always working for them, but they were on experimental, as above? #nms-expedition message
Regardless, it's not fixed, and it's not in the patch notes.

[brisk plover]

Looks like I can. But I'd rather not abandon my Permadeath save with more Atlas words than I've ever had in any save, ever, as well as having broken a billion units for the first time. 😅 But yeah, it looks like it's tied to "existing save where you claimed the parts in the expedition".

[dusky oracle]

could someone suggest what to bring upgrade to main save please?

[soft pilot]

hi, so my expedition is over, my save turned into an ordinary save. Now i ended up doing the settlement quest line where you get a drone and u do steps to rebuild a minautore...i ended up replacing one of the arms from expedition with an arm from the settlement quest line, any way i can get that expedition arm back?

[vague spear]

Honestly, this one felt like they gave you everything you needed. I played it from a new save and was looking for things I might want from a full save, and eventually just stopped thinking about it.

QoL items like a personal refiner and movement upgrades ("the usual") would be the only big things.

[vague spear]

You should be able to just store or destroy the expedition arm and rebuild the Trace of Metal arm.

[brisk plover]

Take the Liquidator equipment, as many people find themselves unable to build it in their main saves.

[soft pilot]

but no way to build all of the Traces of Metal parts then re install the expedition parts?

does it mean that the one i already replaced is gone forever?

[brisk plover]

There's a bug currently where people can't build the Liquidator parts, if that's what you're asking about.

[dusky oracle]

thanks guys

so liquadator equipment from minotaur right

[soft pilot]

well i replaced a liquidator part with a trace of metal part, now the arm is gone and it's not in inventory and there's no BP for it

[brisk plover]

Yeah, you've been hit by the same bug I'm suffering from. There's no known fix or workaround that I'm aware of. A few people have claimed that they've been told that the Experimental build fixes it, but it didn't fix it for me. Probably best to report it to HG.

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[soft pilot]

well i didnt know, i stored all the other expedition parts in inventory, guess i'll be able to reinstall them once i'm done with the traces of metal quests, i'll only be missing one arm 😦

i thought expedition would give us the bp for those 😦

[brisk plover]

It's supposed to.

[soft pilot]

oh well, or mybe i heard u could buy the bp's at anomaly from the quick silver vendor.. but it might have been about something else

[brisk plover]

Feel free to try, but you may find that they've already been "claimed". That's the bug.

[soft pilot]

oh ok thanx for info

[shrewd onyx]

Minotaur adjacency bonuses: legs; bodies & AI pilot; liquidator left arm & hardframe right arm. Unknown exactly what the bonuses are…

[soft pilot]

seems there's more than one bug since my expedition save turned into an ordinary one, so far I've crashed 3 times entering the minautore

[brisk plover]

Try packaging up any of the Hardframe stuff that the Liquidator stuff you have installed replaces. i.e. Don't have two bodies, don't have two right arms, etc.
No idea if it'll help.

[molten rune]

Guys i have a question... I collect all minotaur rewards from expedicion rewards but when i summon minotaur i cannot find them when i want install them did i somehow fucked up?

[brisk plover]

Nope, it's a bug. Gotta report it to HG so they can contemplate fixing it.

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[molten rune]

Oh thanks

[shrewd onyx]

You can keep the hardframe right arm installed for the stun weapon, and there are some adjacency bonuses (though with unknown effects).

[thick umbra]

Did you visit the QS Merchant .. and claim the stuff ?

[merry anchor]

Nah it just doesn’t work for me

Claimed everything, just doesn’t show up as an option

[shrewd onyx]

If you haven't (fully) ended the expedition, you can resume it and build the items there then transfer them.

[molten rune]

Yes i claim them

[brisk plover]

My suggestion was about avoiding a crash, not fixing HG's screwup regarding being unable to build parts.

[merry anchor]

Fully ended it already

[merry anchor]

Didn’t realize, shoulda read the context

[brisk plover]

Wait, were you able to claim them at the Quicksilver vendor, or were they already claimed from when you claimed them from the expedition rewards?

[molten rune]

I did expedicion on main save file so i claim it in expedion but didnt transfer them 'cause i only install one part so i collect them all after finishing expedicion from quicksilver vendor

[brisk plover]

So when you came back from the expedition, they were already claimed at the quicksilver vendor. Okay, that's what I expected. That's the same bug I've got.

[thick umbra]

[brisk totem]

gg

[ornate wing]

I think I finally accepted the war is over, and no long shakenly on the trigger of my Multi-Tool any time I enter a building or activating a save point.

[lilac crane]

I made a vile grub outpost in one of the expedition systems incase anyone else still needs to crush grubs for helmets

[soft pilot]

I managed to get my missing minautore part after i finished the Metal quest but it's pretty odd as now my minautore has 2 full sets of body,arms and legs 🙂

and the 2 mods in inventory are extra liquidator parts

[shrewd onyx]

Reorganise: put the bodies & AI pilot together, put the legs together, put two arms (hf right & liq left) together. If you can work out what the adjacency bonuses are…

[soft pilot]

they are together

bottom row is the liquidator parts, upper right corner i regular minautor parts

[shrewd onyx]

Only actual grouping (re. adjacency) which I see is the two bodies.

[snow ruin]

It's important to keep a spare arm and a leg

[soft pilot]

??

grouping as in a square 2 x 2?

[shrewd onyx]

No. Grouping for adjacency bonuses (look at the borders).

[soft pilot]

like that?

the only ones that seems to gain adjacency is the 2 leg sets

[granite ridge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/234133601417953280/1272832244095909908/ExocraftLayout.png?ex=66bd11a7&is=66bbc027&hm=0429f1f6c5ed5e5e1a8953b39d31d3e871eb0c24a08c2a54d811bd7751dacd9e&

[snow ruin]

Apparently the arms don't give bonuses

[soft pilot]

the bodies either

[snow ruin]

The bodies seem to give a bonus to me

[granite ridge]

you can drop the Ai model, the liquid body provides that

[soft pilot]

so far only the legs get a frame that shows adjacancy

[snow ruin]

Look closer at the bodies

[soft pilot]

oh yes they do, just too dark in the screenie

[shrewd onyx]

Of the arms, hardframe left & liquidator right show adjacency.

(I see no adjacency for hardframe right arm at all.)

[sage turret]

any good ways to make nanites?

nvm

[soft pilot]

@sage turret kill lots of sentinel, ''extract component'' all the sentinel glass u get, they'll turn into stuff including a bunch of modules, sell all the ones u don't want\need at a station
you can get a lot like that

[sage turret]

thxs

[soft pilot]

sell them to the module vendors naturally, not to trade network

also if you've worked some on your guilds, pretty easy to max them, you can get free mods from them or real cheap one, usually u get twice the price you payed in nanites when you resell them to module vendors

during expedition i made approx 140k nanites doing just that

and at the same time you do your daily quota of kills 🙂

[loud barn]

Anyone staying in the expedition now that it's over? Any reason to stay and play ?

[soft pilot]

I'm staying because i decided it would be my new save, i have everything u can imagine in old save so not much to do

[snow ruin]

I haven't ended it yet, Planning on doing a bit more before ending it

[loud barn]

Cool. What do you have planned

[snow ruin]

Just grabbing some more juicy grubs, kill some more horrors for the nanite value after ending the expedition, maybe running double the missions some days. And some general goofing around

[hollow cradle]

Hey, I for some reason can't get the uhh, liquidator blueprints at the quicksilver vendor. I claimed them in the expedition but can't in the main save. It says they're already claimed but can't craft them or anything.

[snow ruin]

Like a pinned message says it's a bug that HG knows about

[hollow cradle]

Ah, thank you! Didn't know it was pinned.

[snow ruin]

Mostly just spreading the word. Enough people are asking about it, as is reasonable. It's been known as a bug for weeks, I think

[swift sky]

any reason why i shouldn't use my main save for the expedition?

[wraith venture]

Some people may want the extra "challenge", having no tech or materials brought over to the expedition save.

[wraith junco]

Your wonders could get wiped

Happend to me 2x

On omega and now

[ashen shore]

That's wild

[wraith junco]

Plants and rocks wonders are meh and useless but if u got some nice planets or animals better write it down

Analog pdf is pog
Unhackable and glitch resistant.

[ornate wing]

I just started playing again so opted to just start a expedition save as my new one.

[hushed rain]

This expedition got me messed up

[pallid minnow]

Fr, didnt even give me the transfer screen

[hushed rain]

No like

Emotionally

I don't wanna do my part anymore

[past belfry]

How long are we able to get the helmets for?

[marble kiln]

What should I do with all my extra money before I finish expedition?

[restive anchor]

It will go with you to your main save.

[marble kiln]

I have 100m

Whaaaaat

Say no more

[restive anchor]

Make sure you do the transfer of any items you want to take too.

[marble kiln]

Yea I have a few things but idk what to bring

[restive anchor]

I took everything since I only had a limited amount of time on my main save since I just started the game.

Now im rich lol

[marble kiln]

lol same

[restive anchor]

200M

[restive anchor]

You'll prob end up with a ton more once you do the finish and it calculates everything you did during the Exp

[soft pilot]

it's so odd not to be in expedition now, it's quiet 🙂

[chilly steeple]

did the patch fix being unable to build new minotaur parts for anyone else?

After completing the exp ofc

Mine show claimed in QS agent, but I still cannot build them

[ionic bramble]

I wish hubs weren't so laggy... would be nice to have a place to go back to once in a while, do some socializing...

[opal glade]

fix is coming but I wish there was a zendesk ticket we could follow

[gilded ravine]

i think the flamethrower upgrades aren't being applied correctly and that's why the damage is so bad

base damage is 172 per tick, upgraded is 196 - seems awfully inconsistent with a 200% bonus per upgrade

[bleak spruce]

How do I claim the minotaur upgrades from the expedition? The expedition finished but on my main save I don't see the upgrades

[versed bridge]

What will happen to all the upgrades on my character and multitool I got in the expedition, Wnen i end it? What about the units and nanites i have? will that transfer too?

[pallid minnow]

Exosuit will be gone. Multi-tool you could copy the weapon. But next time I recommend cancelling whenever it gived you an option to upgrade an inventory slot because it gives you thoughs upgrades in your inventory if you don't use them

[bleak spruce]

All units and credits get transferred, you can copy your equipped multitool and ship by spending nanites in your main save if you ga back to the expedition terminal.

Don't worry about not having nanites, when you end the expedition you will receive a lot of nanites for all the things you did during the expedition.

The technology of your exosuit will not transfer automatically so you will need to transfer it on the 10 slots for technology that they give you

[pallid minnow]

Before leaving. Mass Killing horrors and sentinels give a bunch of nantites

[orchid cave]

I decided that my expedition save will be my new main save. Any reason to not accept the final phase reward and end the expedition now that the community optional milestones are done?

[burnt briar]

so where do I get the liquidator minotaur parts after finishing the exped?

@atomic estuary do you know where? :o

[atomic estuary]

Unlocked at quicksilver vendor

It's currently bugged tho

Workaround is to craft parts in the expedition and bring them to primary save if possible

[burnt briar]

unlicked

I saw it

:)

[atomic estuary]

Why is my autocorrect convinced it's unlicked

[burnt briar]

ah it's bugged
I was going to bring em to the main save but the terminal was full

[pearl pecan]

cause you need to lick them to claim as your own

[burnt briar]

:P

[pearl pecan]

plot twist, we can't bring the mech parts cause we can't lick them, the helmets prevent us from claiming them

[burnt briar]

:C

[silver smelt]

I hope Hello Games patches the glitch so we get these awesome looking upgrades. I want to go pew pew with the new minotaur. Lol

[burnt briar]

ye

I submitted a bug report to em

[fluid flax]

I made the mistake of loading the expedition terminal with a stack of 9999 Activated Cadmium

My main save is a survival save 🙃

[burnt briar]

what's so bad about that?

[fluid flax]

I have no inventory space now

(I don't have a freighter, I got unlucky and made the first one agro from friendly fire)

[burnt briar]

ah

[snow ruin]

I thought you could choose not to take out all of it in one go

[burnt briar]

yeah you take them one item at a time

[fluid flax]

I could

But I can't put the toothpaste back in the tube

And now I've got toothpaste all over my hands

[burnt briar]

true

unless you're Joel Creates

he made a reverse toothpaste tube

[snow ruin]

Time to go sell some AIndium, then

[fluid flax]

I just shoved it all on an exocraft i don't use

[burnt briar]

that works :P

[fluid flax]

(I do need to spend some time tomorrow gathering more buried tech modules)

[burnt briar]

you won't need them for the exped

[fluid flax]

Unless the main quest with Apollo unlocks all the storage crates

[fluid flax]

Nah for my main

[burnt briar]

oh

[past belfry]

B-B-What does " " mean?!?!

that isn't helpful lol

[burnt briar]

what helmets

[past belfry]

I'm guessing that it is just forever then?

[fluid flax]

Forever yeah

[past belfry]

AWESOME

yipppeee

[fluid flax]

The but helmets are the reward for fighting the brood outside of the expedition

Bug*

[burnt briar]

once a cosmetic is unlocked, you keep it forever on that save

[fluid flax]

Oh right

[burnt briar]

expedition ones can be unlocked in all saves via the QS vendor

[snow ruin]

As far as we know it's forever, yes

[past belfry]

yayyy I'm crazy man

thx guys.

[fluid flax]

Also these brood queens are weirdly quiet

It's a little anticlimactic when they just make squishy sounds

Sound design in general in this game is weird/has a lot of little inconsistencies

[burnt briar]

yeah they are quite boring

[fluid flax]

Maybe Part 2 will expand on that stuff

[dusky oracle]

is X class upgrade better than S class?

[molten leaf]

It can range from better than s to worse than c

[lethal mirage]

Yesnt

[versed bridge]

Thank you very much. Ill keep that in mind

[dusky oracle]

it's been fun with expedition, I enjoyed it so much, hope to see you guys again in next expedition, thank you so much for all your support and help!

[naive ocean]

Alright i checked back in to get the minotaur parts on my main and it says i own them but i dont see the blueprints to put them in the minotaur

Though i dont see them in the catalog if that matters nvm i see them

[balmy pagoda]

I'm on Exp phase 3 trying to find nutrient eggs but all the bases I've found don't have any and I'm on planet that says Vile Brood detected. Any tips?

[summer kraken]

Analysis Visor.

@balmy pagoda

Use your Analysis Visor to look for red marks with a grub in it, that means there is a juicy grub. Kill it (or pick it up and squish it in your inventory), then kill the big meowther- I mean Vile Brood.

[balmy pagoda]

Thanks so that should get more eggs and larva core?

[summer kraken]

That's not where you get Larval Cores. That's for Vile Broods.

You have to find red markings with an egg symbol in it in that case.

Also finding abandoned buildings is essential for that, the dark purple eggs are what you're tryna find. Shoot them and quickly grab the cores.

[balmy pagoda]

Oh yeah I already did the vile brood one, trying to find abandond buildings

[summer kraken]

You should see white buildings with weird clusters of brown stuff (like Malice in Breath of The Wild) with eggs near them, hard to miss them.

White is the common color, thus why I said white.

Alternatively you can go to a lifeless or airless planet, those usually have the eggs sparsely placed on their own.

[balmy pagoda]

Hmm I'm trying to find white buildings in the analysis visor, but doesn't seem to be any on this planet

I just used a planetary chart and it showed an abandoned building, heading over there now 🤞

[gusty helm]

What can I do to get the walker parts from the expedition 14 on my main save? I exited before bringing the tech with me , I was grinding heavily daily . I was so shocked to see it said claimed already and can’t install or build it. Any Help?

[low ember]

ITs a known bug, hang tight

[tawdry vector]

Use the scanner on your spacecraft. Fly low altitude and scan. Then sites will show up.

[finite steeple]

finished expedition... went back to my normal save. found a non-hostile broodmother wandering around my npc settlement. so now i have a pet the size of a large house. like wtf is going on anymore...

i cant wait till this ...thing... gives me eggs to trade

[light summit]

I finished expedition, put a bunch of materials in the shared storage in the anomaly, went back to my main save, got the stuff, stored it in my main save, went back to expedition save, rinse and repeat.. I basically took everything with me from the expedition but it took about 4/5 switching back and forth to get everything. is this how it’s supposed to work?

OH tyvm! :D

im a lil nervous, i wanna redo the liquidator on my main lol

[sleek siren]

it's an expedition that can be done quickly i'd say

[turbid folio]

ya i think i did it in like, 8? hours casually

[sleek siren]

it's pretty much mostly combat, and you get the milestone rewards pushing you quick

[turbid folio]

(kept getting distracted LOL)

so if i do it, ill be able to finish up and get all my previous stuff back, aye?

ik ppl were saying this earlier i just get nervous LOL

ah the warning tells me p much

[shut plank]

Thanks all for your help.

[fickle night]

Eh, how come you can do that?

[sleek siren]

it's a feature pretty much.
Iff you start your expedition from the main save

[fickle night]

We can transfer items multiple times?

[sleek siren]

usually im believe it's intended to be able to send only when you're terminating.

[balmy pagoda]

Thanks I already got it from the Planetary Chart

[left ether]

are the units and nanites i collected during the expedition gonna get added onto my main save after i finish it? i started from the anomaly

[turbid folio]

i can transfer the weapon i get from the expedition to my main save, aye?

[snow ruin]

#nms-questions message read that and the one below it

[turbid folio]

TY :)

[craggy echo]

so in the december reruns how many expeditions do they normally do? surely not all 14

[wraith junco]

The ones from current year

So 4 expeditions

[wanton frigate]

Last year they re-ran an old one too, hopefully that will happen again, as some of us weren't around for the Classics 😄

[light summit]

I was surprised as well, I thought it was supposed to only transfer when ending expedition

But hopping back from main/exped saves I can take the stuff and then go back and put more in etc. I wonder if the items will be removed from my main save when I end the exped.

[remote thunder]

oh yeah forgot this

Tip for The Fat of the Land:

• Unlock Optical Drill multitool tech from the Space Anomaly, and install it (can get the components already crafted from random terminals/pilots, or unlock their blueprints from the Synthesis laboratory in the Space Anomaly).
• Then just goto a planet with decent flora and mineral density, and just mine away, watching your heat dispersion (don't let it overheat, don't let it cool off completely) and the HUD hint for the counter

took me like 1min to complete the milestone.

(and yeah, it's funny how the same milestone then rewards the blueprints for the things you'd need optical drill for 😄 )

[indigo falcon]

I didn't need any mining upgrades at all, and did it on the first planet before leaving. the egg-shaped carbon plants were fine, just tapped when the beam got close to overheat. the main thing is that you need to have the milestone pinned, the amount you mine is not the amount that is counted; best guess is that there is a cap of how much per second goes into the count

[remote thunder]

took me like a minute to get to 900

i was lmao'ing for some reason

some hits added 200+ to the counter

i do believe optical drill makes this incredibly easy

also, i felt like i'm being watched

[quasi whale]

guessing i messed up, completed expedition but multitool is A tier

[ionic stirrup]

Bruh I thought if you completed the expedition you would get the Minotaur upgrade stuff for free

I have to buy them

[patent tiger]

Hey maybe someone have something that is from old expeditions? I can pay or give something expensive (but not now sadly because I'm not at home, but I will be in 4 days)

[patent tiger]

Ye you need to complete the side quests

[ionic stirrup]

What

I completed the expedition like a week ago

[remote thunder]

but you probably didn't complete and claim the optional milestones - the ones that first required community effort to complete (e.g. pictures, opt 4 and 5)

if you want to unlock these for free (instead of paying quicksilver to unlock them account wide), you will be able to without waiting for community research, just by doing the required kills (250 biohorror kills total, for all optionals) but you'd have to start another run basically

[patent tiger]

Yes

[ionic stirrup]

I don’t mind getting quicksilver actually

Actually, would I be able to start a new run, claim the rewards then return to my save?

[snow ruin]

Slapped a link to this from my previous "guide" to this that I've linked to from the pinned comment of mine.

[remote thunder]

you'd basically start a new save, expedition 14, iow from scratch, complete the optional milestones asap, claim them, exit to main menu, load main save, goto anomaly/qs shop/create qs items, and claim the techs

delete exp14 save, done

[ionic stirrup]

Thx

[quasi whale]

I miss having constant biological horror attacks lol

[snow ruin]

Start a new expedition save?

[quasi whale]

maybe, enjoying the character I made from the exp

[ashen shore]

for fat of the land, there’s actually this cave plant on eardog that is VERY abundant and i got fat of land in the first 20 minutes without even knowing it was a milestone beforehand

[quasi whale]

defs one id like to replay later though

[jovial moon]

did they fix the minotaur parts?

[snow ruin]

Start from main save bug? Not yet, AFAIK

[jovial moon]

ok

[light orchid]

Hello everyone, I have the following problem with Expedition 14: I completed the expedition as required with my main account and picked up all the items. Then I went to the terminal and ended the expedition. I got all the items so far except for the Minotaur. The items are shown to me as received from the Mercury dealer, but they are not available for installation on the Minotaur. What did I do wrong or is it a bug?

[lusty slate]

Known bug.

[light orchid]

.... -.-

[thick umbra]

But you can claim it in all other (also new) save

[light orchid]

But it doesn't do me any good if I don't have the items on my main account. Why should I start a new account now after 8 years? Makes no sense to me.

[sleek siren]

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

Report to HG too.
Im sure a fix is still to come for it

[craggy echo]

were there any expedition specific ships over the last 4 expeditions?

[faint mesa]

Starborn Runner I guess.

[meager scroll]

• Iron Vulture

[craggy echo]

ah and utopia speedster before that? I don't think that will make it to the redux expeditions in december

[faint mesa]

lol, the Vulture is more recent and I forgot about it...

Yep, Utopia was last year I think (edit: confirmed, around march 2023)

[craggy echo]

ah cool - so fingers crossed I can get two expo ships in december... I'm gutted I missed utopia speedster. Have it on my switch save though...

[sleek siren]

this year may be only omega, adrift and liquidators?
still 2 chances for exclusive ships

and hopefully maybe they do a rerun of another older one

[faint mesa]

I'm betting for another expedition after Worlds pt. 2, but we shall see

[sleek siren]

that's if worlds part 2 still drops this year 🤞

[faint mesa]

Yep, indeed 😅

[sleek siren]

i'm just hinging on the fact they removed the "september" from the ETA

wait wasn't even september, it said summer right?

[ornate wing]

I believe so, I'm honestly fine with the delay.

[versed pelican]

guys pls what do i take for expeditions 😢

[ashen shore]

Summer, which thr offical last day of summer is September 22

[ornate wing]

uhhh

[sleek siren]

right but they never said anything bout september, i guess that was just my head canon

[ornate wing]

Maybe in other countries. In US September is fall XD

[sleek siren]

mid september fall starts right

[ashen shore]

In the USA it's fall September 23rd

[sleek siren]

yea :p

[ornate wing]

By the meteorological calendar, spring will always start on 1 March; ending on 31 May. The seasons are defined as spring (March, April, May), summer (June, July, August), autumn (September, October, November) and winter (December, January, February).

[sleek siren]

around the 20th is the start of spring

[finite steeple]

so... anyone know how rare a wild broodmother pet is?

asking here because its obviously from expedition content. didnt want to post in nms help

[meager scroll]

Vile brood infestations are not expedition specific

You can find planets with vile brood listed in resource card in other game modes as well

Then it's a matter of finding a grub lying on the surface, those can be kinda rare-ish

[finite steeple]

its not an infestation. it was randomly walking around on mmy dissonant world where my settlement is. non-hostile. and absolutely massive

[ornate wing]

Oh, they are a type of animal now

Just not classed as brood mothers. They just sorta re-used the model

[ashen shore]

Don't be like me and grind queens in the expo, waste of time lol

[meager scroll]

I dont think brood mothers can spawn as regular animals

There are big bugs yeah, but not with the mechanics like actual brood mother

[ornate wing]

The model will be very similar, but correct. Only spawn from crushing grubs/potential missions

Tame one and ride to victory

[finite steeple]

i mean it looks like one. and you can ride it. hard to see though. it blocks your view in first person

trying to get a good pic on camera so i can post here. he keeps moving

[magic portal]

What's the difference between expeditions and expedition game mode? And am I not able to play expedition game mode if I'm on a normal save?

[ornate wing]

Expedition Game mode is you start 100% fresh, and when the Expedition ends. Instead of just transfering everything, that save just turns into a normal save.

[magic portal]

So if I already have my normal save I can't join one?

on that save

[ornate wing]

You can! just got to the Anomoly

[magic portal]

😮

it's a multiplayer thing right?

not like the expeditions you send frigate crews on from freighter?

[finite steeple]

the entire game is default multiplayer thing. lol

[magic portal]

I know but like...really multiplayer lol

the game is multiplayer light

[ornate wing]

You won't have your logistics if you use a normal save. You can just transfer a few usufl things.

[finite steeple]

you dont need other players interaction. polestar i remember forced it. but this one doesnt

[magic portal]

how is it different from freighter expedition? I'm so confused

[ornate wing]

That was some other expedition, only one available is this current one.

[magic portal]

expedition game mode = you doing the expedition personally
expedition from freighter = your AI crew(s) do an expedition
??

[finite steeple]

Meet Levi.

[ornate wing]

Gorgous

[finite steeple]

hes about 3 times the size of my ship. lol

[magic portal]

wait, is that your pet?

is that a thing, pets?

[finite steeple]

yes. he shrinks if you take him to the anomaly

[magic portal]

😮

[magic portal]

Is this the right way to think of it?

[ornate wing]

Are you thinking of the missions you send your Frigates on?

[magic portal]

yea

I've only been playing a week

[ornate wing]

Oh that has nothing to do with the Expedition in this channel.

The Expedition is a limited time event. The Frigate missions you can do any time.

[magic portal]

What's the difference between them?

it's confusing they're both called expedition lol

[ornate wing]

Yea, agreed.

[finite steeple]

no. you start from scratch. you do the work yourself but you basically lose all your previous stats and gear. you get it all back after you finish. as well as an amount of units, nanites, and quicksilver based on how well you do during the expedition.

[ornate wing]

Expeditions for Frigates is just a built in mechanic. It's something you can always do when you have a Frigate.

Bring some basic mats as if your trying to get off a planet agian. Chromatic metal, etc. Will speed things up. Otherwise the starting gear you get is pretty solid

[magic portal]

and you can optionally do them with a lot of players?

I thought I saw a youtube video someone saying it's like the ultimate multiplayer part of the game

[finite steeple]

theres about a million player bases along the route. but sure go nuts

[magic portal]

this game is overwhleming for new players 😄

everywhere I go I get a mission

[ornate wing]

Yes but it's amazing.

[snow ruin]

#nms-questions message from the pins seemed pretty useful to me

[magic portal]

I don't miss out on anything major if I don't do "The Expedition" do I? I'm still learning the base game.

[finite steeple]

id suggest buying a class S ship core, and sending that and some solar sail Ship parts through so that when you get to the anomaly, which doesnt take very long, you can build a class S solar sail basically for free. that should make the rest of the flying around cheaper and easier for you

[snow ruin]

Maybe chuck in a personal refiner Mk2 if you have it, possibly something that refines to nanites. Otherwise you don't really need much

[snow ruin]

Why not copy the ship you have on your main save over for nanites?

[finite steeple]

was that an option? it wasnt one of the buttons i had for starting the expedition. i was only able to copy after finishing

[snow ruin]

There are some things that are exclusive to people that have gone through this expedition (like all previous expeditions too), but don't feel pressured to do the expedition. It's just some cosmetics.

[snow ruin]

Nah, you can always copy the ship into/out of the expedition for nanites.

[magic portal]

I can still get a pet without it right? 🙂

[snow ruin]

You can't transfer stuff except into the expedition at the start and out of the expedition at the end

[finite steeple]

wish i knew that when i started. i have a really nice supercharge grouping on my gunship.

[snow ruin]

There are many animals you can make your pets

[magic portal]

https://tenor.com/view/rugby-yay-gif-3156747878755757137

[finite steeple]

that reminds me. i need to see if Levi is ready to gestate

[snow ruin]

Costs nanites to unlock more pet slots after you've adopted a few

[magic portal]

it's gonna take me like 6 months to see all the stuff you can do in this game I swear lol

[ornate wing]

One my long term goals is to max out agression and loyality. I want living bioweapon

[finite steeple]

been playing for years. ive seen maybe 5%?

[magic portal]

How is that possible?

[ornate wing]

There is a lot.

Like soon as you think you seen it all, you WILL run into something new.

[finite steeple]

ive never made it past Euclid without the big portal in the nexus. i just like building and exploring. also im a pirate.

[magic portal]

I know there's basically infinite planet/animal varietey, but surely you know all the game mechanics and what you can do?

[sleek siren]

"all the stuff you can do" probably only take less than 100 hrs.
But by then, there will be another update

that also depends on how deep in "stuff you can do" you wanna go

[magic portal]

yea I mean just like a base level "I know how to do/start that"

[ornate wing]

Yea. Like wanting to actually fully explore and scan everything on each planet is easily half a day worth of gameplay.

Depending on planet size to, you could spend weeks mapping it out. Finding all the regions, etc.

[snow ruin]

Planets are big. A lot smaller than Earth, or even the Moon, but still big.

[light warren]

Rank!

How do I check expedition progress?

[snow ruin]

[light warren]

ty

[finite steeple]

crap. have to wait 10 more hours to get an egg.

oh god. Levi just pooped and its bigger than me.

[ornate wing]

What is his agression levels?

[finite steeple]

do you mean the playful/gentle/independant thing?

[ornate wing]

Yea

[finite steeple]

@ornate wing

[ornate wing]

Need to breed that agression in on your next egg.

[finite steeple]

i dont know how.

[ornate wing]

Go to the Anomoly there is a Egg sequencer. You can then add material to change it's gentics.

[finite steeple]

i know about the egg manipulator thing on the anomaly. i just dont understand it

every time i mess with it it just says "gets bigger" or "gets smaller"

[ornate wing]

Yea diffren't materials do diffren't things.

You can effect size, and other traits. I don't fully understand it either and suprisingly pretty vague guides. At some point I want to deep research it all. I just want a overally agressive bug thing that murders stuff XD

[finite steeple]

what does aggression on a pet even do btw?

[wraith junco]

They hunt for food when hungry

[finite steeple]

i jsut found another one.... this ones green crystals

[ornate wing]

They will kill things that attack you to, but only after they hit you.

[finite steeple]

oh god what is that thing.... i see a glowing green... tarantula?

the size of a house?

oh i see. renedering trick. its green at a distance but geddish close up

[hollow kraken]

My expedition bases transferred?

[finite steeple]

really? if they did thats new.

they didnt in the last expedition

[hollow kraken]

yeah it seems so they are there on my teleport menu

[finite steeple]

man. lucky. if i knew they would do that id have made a base for once.

[verbal fern]

is there currently any way to do older expeditions?

[finite steeple]

nope.

if there was id redo polestar so i could get another black hole engine

[verbal fern]

why is this engine special?

[hollow kraken]

The year's expeditions are rerun at the end of the year but older ones are up to HG to rerun them

[wraith junco]

It works like personal black hole

It yeets u acros galaxy

[hollow kraken]

it acts like going through a black hole but in your freighter

[verbal fern]

I see. well that is all. goodbye and have a nice day you all

[finite steeple]

it lets you teleport randomly about 500-800k light years within a galaxy without leaving your freighter.

and it charges with the terrain manipulator resources if i remember correctly

[verbal fern]

that seems so cheap

[finite steeple]

yeeah its just stupid cheap

and its a portable black hole. can use it whenever you want

[hollow kraken]

well then that might be worth getting

[finite steeple]

PERSONALLY... and they will never do this btw... but i believe they should release all the previous expeditions as DLC packets. people that care will pay to do the tasks, get the rewards, etc. and people that dont can go jump in a lake and wonder. lol.

and if they released each one as a seperate packet they would probably make a few million just from all the people who missed out wanting new toys

computer players can use savestates to get the rewards apparently. but console players like me are just screwed

[hollow kraken]

well no you can save edit Playstation

[finite steeple]

im on xbox

[hollow kraken]

welp then your out of luck

[verbal fern]

well, I could technically do it but its less fun.

[hollow kraken]

unless you have gamepass

[finite steeple]

i have gamepass. its how im playing. it doesnt let me use savestates

[hollow kraken]

i mean use gamepass to get the game on your pc and save edit it there and then sync the saves back

[finite steeple]

oh. yeah i dont have the hardware to do that. i cant afford it

im not spending $5000 to get a singularity engine

[hollow kraken]

well you dont need to run the game all you need is the saves

might be worth posting in #nms-modding someone may have some ideas

[finite steeple]

id still have to buy a new computer.

would take me about 2 years to save up for one

[hollow kraken]

so you are saying you dont have a computer?

[finite steeple]

i ahve a laptop. its a piece of crap. its too old

i mostly just use it for discord and youtube

[hollow kraken]

well something interesting, i just found a crashed ship with one of the parts of the adrift ship

Here

[finite steeple]

adrift ship?

[sleek siren]

The fan wings existed before the adrift ship btw

[hollow kraken]

ah

[sleek siren]

the cockpit was the interesting part

and that exclusive paint

[finite steeple]

oh the fan wings. im pretty sure i can make that part by deleting a vulture.

[hollow kraken]

well i will still get it eventually

[low ember]

Sean let us do all the older expeditions pls and ty

[verbal fern]

that is a cool ship

[hollow kraken]

well we will get 12,13 & 14 again the remaining ones, its up to HG

[low ember]

Yeah mainly talking about previous years

[patent tiger]

You can return but can't give anything to the expedition

[snow ruin]

You only get one shot to transfer stuff into your expedition save.

Except copying your ship and MT, those you can do several times

[patent tiger]

Yes

[snow ruin]

Not that you should really need to transfer much into the expedition...

[ornate wing]

Yea, the gear you get is pretty solid. Mostly QoL stuff.

[snow ruin]

It really makes sense since the default is to start expeditions on a new save. Only recently has it been possible to start them from the terminal at the Anomaly

[vague spear]

Agree with Sabre. This expedition has pretty much everything you need right off the bat. Something like the personal refiner would be a nice QoL item, but you can go in "naked" just fine.

[viscid hazel]

What’s exped like? I haven’t played since feb

[meager scroll]

"we have helldivers at home"

Everywhere you go biological horrors spawn out of the ground

You do some combat oriented tasks, nothing special

[viscid hazel]

Fair. How long is it roughly?

[meager scroll]

Cant say exactly, I finished it in 3 days, playing for a couple hours each day after work

[cold tulip]

Wont take long

[meager scroll]

Though I did not bother with optional milestones

[ornate wing]

Optional is nice is you don't want to spend Quicksilver later for the parts.

[wide jackal]

So could I somehow farm a certain item from copying the ship and multitool over and over again?

[snow ruin]

It should be possible, somewhat. You have to "recycle" the MT or ship to be able to copy it again from what I've heard.

[nimble python]

is there an expedition going on rn?

[snow ruin]

Please, Starship Troopers

[snow ruin]

No, this channel is just open for laughs

[fluid flax]

Id really only recommend the refiner backpack, maybe some chromatic metal

Also a few navigational data

[ornate wing]

I will say, took me a good day of playing after the Expedition not to instinctively go for high ground any time I entered a building or triggered a save tower.

Was actually quiet nice going into my settlment and not being swarmed every 5mins

[fluid flax]

Not me preemptively reloading my plasma grenades as I approach a little save point waiting for the swarm to rise there

[snow ruin]

Be prepared, always

Just waiting on worlds part 2 to add in more things that pop up out of the ground at some percent of all POIs

[wide jackal]

Dope

[cursive palm]

Hello World, maybe someone can help me. I completed the expedition yesterday, but I don't have the blueprints for the exocraft. In a other save I could claim it. I'm on ps5

[snow ruin]

This on the save you started the expedition through the anomaly on?

[viscid hazel]

Hell divers is starship troopers the video game

Was adrift any good? I missed that exped

[patent tiger]

Hey maybe someone have something that is from old expeditions? I can pay or give something expensive (but not now sadly because I'm not at home, but I will be in 4 days)

[nimble hare]

what do you mean you can pay?

[faint mesa]

It was contemplative, a change of pace... depends on your taste.
Liquidators is almost the opposite.

[snow ruin]

That's more like #nms-lfg-or-trades

[patent tiger]

Now almost 3 people just said me that heh

[snow ruin]

Maybe it's time to try looking first, then?

[main pendant]

wait
how do you get the liquidator stuff on your main stave

[meager scroll]

its bugged currently

Gonna wait for a patch to fix it

[nimble hare]

how do you get the 6th swarm waypoint?

[rose veldt]

if you started the expedition from a new save , you will get them without a bug from the quicksilver reward shop

[main pendant]

augh

[wintry void]

Yet another reason to do expeditions from a new save

[nimble hare]

the expeditions seem to be getting out of hand. sooo much work to finish everything

[meager scroll]

uhhhh no?

Done over 3 days only few hours to play each

[wintry void]

I've done like 4 times and it takes around 5 hours to do

[faint mesa]

This one was pretty fast for me

Wasn't speedrunning and finished all in 3h40

[nimble hare]

i have no idea how to do a couple tasks

like lure deep sea whatever

[faint mesa]

Ask here, we will help 🙂

[faint mesa]

Mark the milestone, search in deep sea, you are looking for a red icon

[meager scroll]

Each milestone has tooltips with info that guides you towards completion

In case of that one, you need to find Alluring Specimen underwater, look for a red marker with this label

Collect the glowy bit to spawn fish, pump it full of bullets, repeat 3 times

[rose veldt]

almost the same on day 1 😄

[wintry void]

@nimble hare this is what you are looking for

[rose veldt]

but i got more now because i had to do my part every day ,

[edgy hamlet]

Oh noo i didn trealise there was new expo.. How long is left? Or should I say is there enougth time for a filth expo only causal player to complete it in?

It was an act of kindness, I wanted others to do their parts.

[rose veldt]

... doubt 😏

[edgy hamlet]

that should be achieavable thank yuo

[drowsy imp]

Why can't I see my liquidators mech blueprints after claiming them. Do I need to get quicksilver and buy them outside of the expedition?

[faint mesa]

You get them at the normal QS shop indeed, free of charge if you completed the expedition (but be mindful of a bug that stops players from getting the blueprints)

[drowsy imp]

Oh thanks. Is there a way to avoid that or is it random?

[faint mesa]

It's happening to people that did the expedition from the terminal.
Seems quite widespread unfortunately, but we should see a fix soon 🙂

[drowsy imp]

Ahh so if I didn't make a new save for it?

[faint mesa]

You can bandaid it by getting the blueprints inside the expedition, installing on your minotaur, packaging the technology and bringing back that to your main save -- in case you started from the terminal

[drowsy imp]

Oh okay. Many thanks

[snow ruin]

It tells you pretty well what to look for in the log entry itself.

[nimble hare]

yeah got it done. what a fucking bug fest lol

[latent forum]

I've defeated 7 walkers so far and the milestone isn't triggering.

Anyone else having this issue?

[nimble hare]

i killed 3 and it counted 1

also how to get 4 with one grenade?

[cold tulip]

I did it with bio horrors. As soon as they spawn

[nimble hare]

with plasma launcher?

[snow ruin]

of course ;P

[nimble hare]

dude check the pins yourself thats like half an hour read lol

[snow ruin]

It really isn't.

[nimble hare]

yeah i have no idea what to look for in the pins. what a mess!

[snow ruin]

Your loss

[latent forum]

So apparently there are multiple types of walkers.

Also I grabbed my main save MT with a 24k purse spitter.

The Pulse Spitter is a million times better than the scatter blaster

[wide jackal]

I’m about to close out my expedition. Is there anything I should do in it before ending?

[latent forum]

Make sure to do the community missions

[wide jackal]

They are all finished

That’s why I’m closing it

[latent forum]

Yeah that's really it. I like to put all the stuff I want into the thing at the anomaly, breakdown the MTs and ships then sell he rest

[snow ruin]

[wide jackal]

Okay perf!

It mentioned something about certain achievements though before ending the expedition?

[snow ruin]

The one with the long legs (that spawn from wave 5) is a Walker, the minotaur-like one isn't

[latent forum]

Telemon says 'walkers inbound' on all of them

[rocky kernel]

Yeah, they haven't fixed the dialog. 😦

JasonPlays yells each time it happened during his speed runs. 😂

[snow ruin]

Maybe, I don't hear what the suit says XD
I'm just going by how I know the fight goes.

[rocky kernel]

It tells you a walker is incoming during the game when it's the mech.

[nimble hare]

and only one per system cause they get peaceful?

[granite ridge]

Sentinels are only disabled for a limited time/until reload - and also should only affect that planet iirc

[wide jackal]

What do I do with the grub cocoon in my expedition? I can’t transfer it over to my main save…

[snow ruin]

You can't? I'd heard people say there were going to at least.
Oh, you're talking about the egg.

[wide jackal]

Ya, the reward for finishing

[snow ruin]

You can't transfer eggs. Just claim it from the merchant

on main

[wide jackal]

Okay 👌

Going to close my expedition out now. Thanks everyone!

[nimble hare]

mmh so i got all minotaur parts except the right arm

and the weaponry of course. are you supposed to get that on older saves as well?

[flat crater]

Outta curiosity are the minotaur parts gonna stay in the quicksilver shop or will they poof when the expeditions over? Not fancying doing it myself, wondering if i need to be hoarding that quicksilver

[nimble hare]

you can buy them forever

[flat crater]

Nice one. Cheers!

[flat crater]

I’ve had eggs appear in my inventory after playing with other people before. Couldn’t tell you if one of my frigate routes had picked it up, i got it from something or if it had been given but i’ve never bought one from quicksilver merchant.

[snow ruin]

Just talking about between expedition and main save

[snow ruin]

Also, not buying. Just claiming.

[gusty helm]

I can’t claim my new parts for the minatuar after exiting the expedition. Is there a fix for that , I didn’t think to bring that tech over with me , my other I can claim . My main save i can’t claim the minatuar parts

[stoic nova]

all the optional milestones are done

and I still dont have the liquidator upgrades for the minatour

in my main save

I did just end the expedition and I have completed all the phases

is there anything I can do?

[prime kernel]

Did you check the quicksilver shop? Minotaur upgrades are there and not in the expedition rewards.

[stoic nova]

they arent there

i remember reciving them in the expedition save so Im pretty sure I clicked on the rewards but it appears like i didn't

[prime kernel]

That’s odd.

I couldn’t find them for a minute since they were in store and not in expedition rewards, but I was able to claim them on my main save before I’d even ended the expedition.

[stoic nova]

hmm

well i checked the first part of the quicksilver compaion and it says i own them I had formerly checked the third tab of the quicksilver companion

but when I summoned the minotaur i couldnt instal them

so ig ill try again since it says I own them

yeah its still not there

i can't install them into my minotaur for some reason they arent even showing up as tthings I can install

[cinder furnace]

I’m the same. Not in the quicksilver shop and can’t install them

[wraith junco]

Thank you. Have submitted a report

[pine nimbus]

man
i JUST went back to primary safe after unlocking the minotaur parts

after the bug gets fixed, will everyone who has finished the optional milestones get the parts in their main save?

[glass belfry]

I'm having trouble with the deep sea monstrosities. I need to kill 3 but they keep glitching. The first one was OK, the second one spawned inside the terrain but I eventually managed to kill it, but the next two I found either didn't spawn or disappeared immediately. Is there any trick to this?

[crimson nacelle]

I'd just hop to another planet with water or reload a save

[glass belfry]

I'll give that a go, thanks.

[turbid folio]

finished expedition on my main and very pleased, def worth it >:3c was fun n fast to do a second time

[minor basin]

Set your spaceship view to third person, fly over water at night and look for a cluster of green lights. Be sure to 'gather' the lights to activate the monstrosity.

Question: I loaded up my expedition save but I did not copy the multi-tool over, is it possible after the expedition?

Answered: Yes it's possible.

[glass belfry]

Moving to a different planet seemed to work. Most of the alluring specimens on the one I was on were in caves so I think the monstrosities didn't have room to spawn (except for the one that spawned inside the terrain somehow), even if I cleared terrain around it. I was getting the message that one had spawned but none did. The new planet had them on the ocean floor rather than underground so they could spawn OK.

[minor basin]

😋 Glad that worked out for you in the end!

[analog harbor]

question if i start the expedition on my main normal save file does my current ship and multitool gonna brake items or my ship and multitool both remain same just like in my normal save file? should i change my ship and multitool before i go to an expedition?

[full pewter]

You can buy your current ship and multitool in the expedition for nanites. They won't be effected otherwise.

[analog harbor]

so i can start the expedition with my current ship and current multitool and nothing bad gonna happend to them? all items will be in it?

[full pewter]

You will get a new ship and multitool for the expedition. Nothing bad happens just by going on an expedition.

[analog harbor]

so what will happend to my current ship and multitool then?

[turbid folio]

nothing, once you finish the expedition, you will get that stuff back :)

[full pewter]

And you can switch back and forth between main save and expedition. You won't be stuck there

[turbid folio]

mhm, i just did the expedition on my main save (the multitool from the expedition is fantastic haha) and very pleased. I was nervous about doing it too bc i didnt wanna lose progress or items :) but none of that happened

[ashen shore]

What do I need to do before leaving the expedition?

What should I transfer over, make sure to save, etc? I don't want to miss anything because I left early or something.

[ornate wing]

Did you start the expedition from a previous save or a new one?

[ashen shore]

Previous save.

[ornate wing]

You should be able to transfer your Multi-tool, Ship, and a chunk of items you want to pack with you. As of now the main thing is crafting the Minotar parts if you want them and transfering them due to a bug that isn't unlocking them properly.

Otherwise any additional discoveries, milestones, etc will get converted into Nanites/Credits.

[ashen shore]

hmm okay so

problem

I got my grub egg, but now it's gone

[ornate wing]

Did you hatch it?

[ashen shore]

Yes, but it's not in my menu.

Maybe I accidentally deleted it?

😂

oh wait no he's still here

nevermind

I assume it carries over to the main save, so I can use him there

[balmy aspen]

What's the best way to find juicy grubs on a Vile Brood planet? Just looking around?

[blissful onyx]

pretty much

[viscid mortar]

I’m still having this issue

Anyone know how I can get on the experimental branch?

[jagged charm]

anyone has any ide if those liquidator parts are avail outside the exp?

[exotic fiber]

I need some advice with the Provocateur milestone. I want to do the searching-for-abandoned-buildings part as quicly & easily as I can, mostly for the sake of putting minimal strain on my hands cuz i have chronic pain. The pinned guide leads to a reddit post where people have just suggested 2 different methods but neither of them seem very efficient. Several people suggested to fly around over the surface of a planet spamming your ship's scanner until it detects an abandoned building. This sounds tedious and there's no way to fly a ship in-atmosphere without continually holding down buttons on a keyboard, which after a while aggravates my chronic pain. The other method is to use planetary charts, and I know the chart type to use "Distress Signal", but Abandoned Buildings are only 1 of 5 different structure types that a chart can locate therefore it's a gamble with a 20% success rate per use.
..
Is there a 3rd method? Or a way to wake one of the aforementioned methods work more efficiently?

[meager scroll]

There are Nexus missions that lead you to abandoned outposts to kill biological horrors

[snow ruin]

Eh, seems to work fine for people that unlocked them in a new expedition save instead of going through the anomaly on their main save.

[snow ruin]

You have to get the egg from merchant, you can't transfer eggs or companions between expedition and main save. I can recommend reading #nms-questions message which is linked from the pins

[craggy echo]

wait - can you do the expedition a second time from anomaly if you started a new save for the expedition on your first run and converted it into your main save?

and is there any point?

hope I am making sense here - but let me make that a bit clearer: so I started a fresh save for expedition. Completed it. Converted it to a normal save and this is my main save now (as hitherto I did not have any main save). Now I have the option of launching the expedition at the anomaly - what will that do? will I be able to complete the expedition a second time and carry anything useful over?

[low jackal]

ye if you want

you get to transfer stuff back to your main save if you start at the expedition terminal

[fringe agate]

My always using a new save paid off!

[charred quail]

I really hope Hello Games are gonna fix that severely annoying "no new Minotaur Parts for you" bug soon...

[cold fossil]

Is there a way to force sentinel spawns? I'm at 28/32 Sentinels Killed for Phase 2, it's my last objective.

[ashen shore]

Attack an innocent ship or something?

[cold fossil]

NVM, found a High Sentinel Activity planet.

[shut yoke]

read no mans sky for a sec

[woeful niche]

Build a Roamer or Nomad. Equip it with both scanner upgrades available at the vendor in the anomaly. Get in the exocraft and press X (don't know the equivalent on non-PC). Scroll until Abandoned Building is selected. Click it.

[lusty slate]

So it looks like my Discoveries didn't reset this time.

[gilded coral]

Hi for the optional stage 4 purged by fire of the expedition, it tells me objective unknown and 200 creatures killed, (this number does not change)

so i don't see how i could complete these steps. is it a bug or did i do something wrong?

[lusty slate]

Is the Online Discovery Services active or offline?

[snow ruin]

When you're on part 4 when it tells you 200 + killed you've got the milestone now (since the community part is done)

[lusty slate]

The optionals can only complete if the ODS is online.

[gilded coral]

Offline, yes that must be why, thank you

[gilded coral]

I just finished the expedition, but switching to my main save loads infinitely. Is this a problem if I quit the game?

[thick umbra]

A restart often solves it

[gilded coral]

yes but I won't lose anything?

[thick umbra]

Unfortunately, I can't answer that

[patent tiger]

No you wont

Click alt + f4

And open nms again

It's not a joke

It really works

[quaint urchin]

You should consider getting a controller. I have similar issues using keyboard & mouse, so I mostly use an Xbox controller now. It works great with Steam.

[opal glade]

theres a way to save your nanites to buy a exocraft to get the radar to scan for abandoned structure and do that once

then get back into your ship and fly over

well

nanites and salvaged data

like 10 salvaged data for the exocraft itself (not the nautalus and the minotaur) and then 150 + 250 odd nanites for the radar upgrades so that you can scan for abandoned structures in your quick menu

[hollow kraken]

Why cant i build the liquidator parts on my main save?

[meager scroll]

Known bug, gotta wait for patch to fix it

Or buy the parts with QS

[hollow kraken]

well im gonna re redeem them if that fixes it

i used nom nom to un redeem them

[hollow kraken]

speaking of it there seems to be a patch out on steam today but nothing on MS store yet

[meager scroll]

No there is not

Internal branch is HGs playground, not available to playerbase

We have 0 insight in what is in that build of the game

[hollow kraken]

yeah i realised that 🤦‍♂️

anyway my idea fixed it

[full orchid]

For some odd reason Apex Predator isn't counting. I followed all the ones in the pin. Found a few on my own. It just isn't counting.

Reload Restore.

Restarted the game.

Restarted the Switch.

I have it selected.

Discovery is on.

Has anyone encountered this problem?

[opal glade]

I was on a switch and it counted on the first predetor I scanned

but i think i had discovery off

or it fell off

[full orchid]

Thanks for answering.

I will try offline. I didn't think about that. Thank you.

[meager scroll]

Experimental Branch 15/08

Fixed an experimental only issue that allowed ships to fly beneath a planet's surface.
Fixed an issue that could prevent installation of the Liquidator Minotaur limbs after completing the Liquidators expedition on an existing save.

[full orchid]

I went offline and went back online and Apex Predator kicked in. It's done. Thanks again! 🙏

[opal glade]

yayyyyy

[brisk plover]

Experimental Branch:
Fixed an issue that could prevent installation of the Liquidator Minotaur limbs after completing the Liquidators expedition on an existing save.
Finally.

In order to get it working in the main save, you have to visit the QS Vendor and claim the parts from the standard menu (not the expedition one). Or I did, at least.

[nimble hare]

so how usable is the flame thrower?

to me it felt like the area of effect is a bit small?

[meager scroll]

Yeah the range is very limited

[shrewd onyx]

I've just tested that and found the same. The workaround is no longer needed.

[turbid bridge]

When I visit the vendor, I see all the parts as "Already Owned", still I can't build them in my primary save. Does "Completing expedition" mean finishing all milestones, or do I have to click "End Expedition"?

[lusty slate]

Cool, now I just have a month wait because Switch. 😛 We don't have 5.03 yet...
