nms-expedition

[shut pasture]

Records will not carry over if you use a new save for the expedition but all of the bait, recipes, etc. AND the fish listing IN in the records will be saved profile wide

[humble bramble]

So like the weight won't be saved but catching the fish itself will be??

[shut pasture]

Yes

[humble bramble]

Okay that's fine

[meager stream]

Oh yea, poor wording on my side

[shut pasture]

Your records will show the fish name, with the fish greyed out, for all fish you caught

[meager stream]

In this case, no difference for catalogue between existing and new save start

[shut pasture]

@meager stream i actually had to check because I wasn't sure how it worked. It's a bit specific

But you're right the records are save-specific

[meager stream]

Ye, sadly weight and stuff still is not preserved in existing non-exped save

[astral storm]

...HUH?!

Okay I see earlier someone had 3, but WTF there's 4 on a C-class

[humble bramble]

Oooh imagine upgrading i wonder

Probably nothing

But imagine

[astral storm]

Probably. I mean... super charged slots would sure make up for the bad base stats

[meager stream]

Starting mts and ships are always a bit odd
For example the radiant pillar can be upgraded to max slots without class upgrade

[sturdy hinge]

Only got 1 fire fish so far, and i need 7

Gonna take a while this one

[mental sandal]

Can anyone help me with phase 4 in hot water ? I can’t find a dang planet to Catch the high temp fish

[sturdy hinge]

Rendevous 2

[shut pasture]

@sturdy hinge deep water and processed meat has been working well for me. Also put the rod in a SC slot, not sure if that helps

[steep path]

Uh...can't build an automated trap because it has to be underwater when it is???

[mental sandal]

Thx

[shut pasture]

@steep path shallow water

[astral storm]

Well 4 SC slots on a C-class starter MT tool is a bit more than a bit odd

[shut pasture]

Poorly worded

[meager stream]

U have to swim and point to water surface
Its a bit finnicky

[sturdy hinge]

Been doing that

[lean falcon]

@steep path

[steep path]

AH...ok.

that...wasn't clear.

[shut pasture]

@sturdy hinge you're doing hi temp? Im at 85u deep and have 4 so far

[sturdy hinge]

Hovering 60C

Might be the depth

[sage mason]

DAMN

[sturdy hinge]

Havent found much more than 30u

[shut pasture]

Lol has anyone fished up technology yet

[meager stream]

Not me

I never got non-fish actually
Prob bcoz i used dedicated baits

[sturdy hinge]

I have gotten random stuff and broken tech

[shut pasture]

So you can fish up tech. When you install it, it's "damaged" and can't be repaired

[meager stream]

I wonder what boost the new ship figurine gives
It has adjacency with Polo and trails

[meager stream]

WOAH it can probably be just added to everything else
Does it have "!" class like autophage tech?

[humble bramble]

I have

It was a warp engine module

12 ly

[shut pasture]

It's "!" class

[humble bramble]

Do they stack

[shut pasture]

Womp

[humble bramble]

Minmaxing???

[sonic oar]

ANOTHER 40 MINUTES LATER AND I FINISHED THE 7 UNCOMMON HIGH TEMP FISH

MY SANITY IS DRAINED

ALL I SEE IS FISH

WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES IT HAUNTS ME

SEND HELP

[gloomy raven]

how do I retrieve my fishing skiff from being deployed?

[shut pasture]

@gloomy raven you don't need to

[gloomy raven]

even if I go to another planet?

or do I new one everytime

[humble bramble]

Fish fear you

[meager stream]

Seems so...

[astral storm]

...Now that's what I'm talking about. Way better than the 4 SC slots

[humble bramble]

I still do need to know if the rusted upgrades stack with the modules you buy with nanites

Is it worth to minmax? No

Is it a little funny

Yeah

[astral storm]

Would be fun if you can use, say, one of them as an upgrade.

[shut pasture]

I'll have to buy one more to check

I'm fishing

Running out of storage space trying to get these 7 hot fish

[astral glen]

Is there any reason to keep all these recovered messages

[humble bramble]

Not really

I just do

Because idk

The glyphs on them are the system you find them in I believe

[astral glen]

I've been finding them in the main worlds of the expedition so to the garbage with thee

[meager stream]

I think they point to the next one

[shut pasture]

Siiiick got my 7 hotfish

[humble bramble]

3 minutes until I complete the expedition

8 minutes wtf

[frank galleon]

Hmm...coordinates for "Gisto"? I wonder if connected to Gisto Major from expedition 3?

[shut pasture]

Yeah I had the same thought

Cute easter egg

[humble bramble]

I think there's a typo

[sleek siren]

that's unheard of

[humble bramble]

I think there's actually a few because otherwise the third bottled message lines up perfectly with rendezvous 3

The ice one

[gloomy raven]

what lure works best for irradiated fish?

[shut pasture]

Since you need uncommon irradiated fish use processed meat

[half olive]

I think this is bugged for me. Been fishing for hours in storms and haven't made progress since I caught that one. Used all different kinds of bait. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[shut pasture]

Or shell puree/spicy chum but processed meat is easier to make

[sturdy hinge]

Out of bionic lure bait

No angler

[humble bramble]

Save scum

Promise

[shut pasture]

Is there a way to see how long the traps have?

[humble bramble]

Select the milestone

[shut pasture]

Yeah its just telling me 0/13

I think it's been over an hour

[half olive]

I just used the wire glitch technique near my base to spawn more than 3.

Got it done real quick.

[shut pasture]

Ope nevermind they're starting to come in

[humble bramble]

Yeah not a fan of the fish trap milestone

Bit of time gating

[shut pasture]

They seem kind of inconsistent, I don't get it

[humble bramble]

Yeah it's weird

[shut pasture]

They catch when they want

Bratty

[frank galleon]

Anyone else have a bugged out trade rocket icon in their quick menu? I dont even have one yet. Gonna report in the meantime

[gloomy raven]

Finally

[humble bramble]

Doesn't the messaged bottle count for the non fish milestone

[gloomy raven]

oh I'm way past that... I'm trying to catch radiated fish

[bold prism]

fishing with bionic lure, in a depth of 90 u, the waves are making my skiff do flips, all for enormous fish

pain

[gloomy raven]

just brought back memories of fishing in Warframe is all

[lean falcon]

Then use your ship instead of skiff

[bold prism]

I figured that one out

still fun to watch

[shut pasture]

It's parobably smart to use the traps on a hot world

[humble bramble]

Nah this is worse there's no luminous dye

[gloomy raven]

too true

[sturdy hinge]

The rng be annoying me

No hot fish and no angler atm

[humble bramble]

I'd do the hot fish first

Use the one bait with mordite and dihydrogen

That made it okay

Idk if angler needs the rod from that phase

[frank galleon]

Wait a minute

Starting multitool has all 4 SC slots?

At C class

[lean falcon]

🥰

[shut pasture]

@lean falcon not sure if you saw my DM, I added a bunch more bait

[half olive]

I feel your pain. I'm stuck on the catch fish that swim only in storms. Been fishing in storms and haven't made any progress

[lean falcon]

Combine it with others, like the Hot Water

[half olive]

I've done everything else lol.

This is my last one

[humble bramble]

Are you using storm bait

[shut pasture]

Yeah I got the storms one accidentally while doing irradiated

[humble bramble]

Does bait allow fish to spawn when they're not able to normally

[sturdy hinge]

Fishy bits meat is the cheap version of storm bait

[humble bramble]

Like nocturnal fish during the day

[shut pasture]

And yes I imagine storm bait would help. Try scaly meat

[lean falcon]

Incomplete

[half olive]

Weird thing is I've tried that and everything else I can think of. I'm not catching anything different during storms. :/

Could be bugged

[shut pasture]

Ooh what's brined flesh, meat + salt?

[tawdry relic]

i cant find the last bottle

[humble bramble]

The nightmares are over

[solid tundra]

Bellissimo

[tawdry relic]

nvm i got it

of course i find it not even 30 seconds after asking for help

just my luck

[shut pasture]

That seems to be happening a lot today 😂

[cosmic harness]

of course i keep getting everything but the thing i need

[tawdry relic]

how rare are legend fish

[humble bramble]

Pretty rare without the one bait

Still kinda rare with

[tawdry relic]

the bionic bait?

[humble bramble]

Yeah

[dusty viper]

Literally need one single fish caught in a storm and ive finished the expedition xD

[carmine prism]

It'd be nice if we got full suits of expedition armor

[tawdry relic]

theres a bait that attracts storm fish

i think

[dusty viper]

Still has to be during a storm

Im running into an issue where it wont fking storm

[carmine prism]

The new one doesn't have gloves

[dusty viper]

Ive been at this for 3 hours and caught 2 storm fish lmao

[carmine prism]

Or a torso piece

[faint mesa]

Well...

[carmine prism]

But atleast industrial spacesuit looks nice with it

[faint mesa]

Nice expedition, tons of fishing definitely. 😆

[dusty viper]

This is the longest expedition simply due to the rng frfr

[faint mesa]

No idea how Fi did it so quickly. I'm just short of 4h and still have a couple of milestones from last phases to complete.

[carmine prism]

Eh, I had fun

I felt so scammed when my fish trap caught a legendary but it didn't count

[humble bramble]

It was kinda boring

[dusty viper]

Usually i can get expeditions done in like 2 to 3 hours, this one is taking for EVER

[humble bramble]

Liquidators was short and sweet

[faint mesa]

Well, it involved a lot of fishing lol.

[carmine prism]

Liquidators took forever for the main draw of Liquidators, the mech

[cosmic harness]

uh oh

[faint mesa]

When I saw the milestone to get 100 fish, I thought the number was crazy...
Nope. You really do fish a lot on this one...

[carmine prism]

I literally just sat in a blue star system on one of those corrupted planets, lost red world, and watched youtube waiting for a storm

I even caught another legendary during it

[faint mesa]

Wha- pretty sure I never saw this icon.

[carmine prism]

I did

||test||

[humble bramble]

I didn't play with the mech until today

What's even it have other than a flamethrower

[carmine prism]

I am pretty sure it was the icon for the pinned quest of ||fishing for The Angler||

[faint mesa]

For me I need to get the 3 from storms and... 7 I think? From scorched worlds.
Just two milestones and I think it will take quite some time...

[carmine prism]

The flamerthrower got nerfed on derelicts

It isn't even overpowered anymore

[faint mesa]

Yep, I got that but never saw the icon. Weird!

[carmine prism]

It is underpowered

[cosmic harness]

||i think i got it but my inventory was full so now the game is constantly trying to switch between multiple of those tooltips at once resulting in it just being the mission icon||

[humble bramble]

You can use the mech on derelicts or what

[carmine prism]

No, the multitool

Which uses the same flamethrower

It was introduced with derelicts

[humble bramble]

Oh I have that

I tried it on the derelict when it came out

Wasn't that good

Didn't think about it again

[carmine prism]

I was trying it, did like, 36 damage

[humble bramble]

Other than for novelty

[carmine prism]

My only issue was trying to see the bobber over waves

Or trying to tell if the fish flying in the air was dragging the bobber

[faint mesa]

That is incredibly hard indeed

[carmine prism]

Or if there were bubbles underwater meaning the fish had grabbed it

[faint mesa]

On that note, solid advice to fish from the ship, not from the... that structure, name escapes me lol.

[carmine prism]

I learned that manually digging the ocean deaper works

[humble bramble]

Especially during storms it was awful to see

[carmine prism]

Yeah during heavy waves I'd get thrown off

[humble bramble]

The skiff

[cosmic harness]

||i quit out to the main menu and reloaded and it's still doing this||

[humble bramble]

But that's not as fun

[carmine prism]

I was hoping the skiff

[humble bramble]

Was drivable

[carmine prism]

Was a new exo thing

And it was just like, a boat

[humble bramble]

YEAH

[carmine prism]

I want a bost

Boat

[humble bramble]

It would be cool

Would it be useful?

No

But would it be cool?

[carmine prism]

Yeah

It'd also be fun

[faint mesa]

Yes, that one.
I mean... it may be fun if you want to feel like Lt. Dan on Forrest Gump lol...

I wanted a calm experience...

[carmine prism]

The new armor is cool, once again wish it had gloves and a torso...

Also, I know the oceans had like

An overhaul

But they need a new one

Make them deeper

[faint mesa]

It may happen on Worlds pt. 2, we shall see

[carmine prism]

How underwhelming it is to see a planet covered in water

Thinking "this is the one"

And then it has the depth of a kiddie pool

Especially now that you can see the bottom before diving in

[faint mesa]

I like how HG is consistent with twisted lores lol.
We have now a tradition of ||horrible fates|| in these expeditions...

[carmine prism]

A sudden urge of mercy was the only thing keeping me from tricking my thallassophobic friend, who was new, to pick up the luminous orb thing underwatwr

[severe mantle]

it'd be nice if the next thing to get expanded is caves, and ocean depth in tandem

caves are really lacking

[carmine prism]

Yeah I thought about caves too

Anyways, new armor, industrial torso and heavy duty gloves with the bubble trail

Looks pretty good

[severe mantle]

i've thought of making cave bases, i'll be honest

[faint mesa]

No harm in asking: does any of the rendezvous systems have a scorched world to complete that milestone?

[severe mantle]

like big cave systems with bases hanging off the walls

[carmine prism]

I am pretty sure one of them was on a scorched world

One of the later ones

[severe mantle]

the second one is

[faint mesa]

Really? I had the mission pinned on the last two systems I think, didn't work (yes, I'm that lazy, trying to complete everything in as few systems as possible)

[faint mesa]

Oh ok. Good to know, thanks! I can just teleport then...

[bold prism]

so anyone know if the magpulse lure overrides needing to be in a storm to catch storm fish, or if its just to help if you are already in a storm?

[dry escarp]

magpulse works only during storm

[bold prism]

dam

looks like im waitin around for my last objective

[astral glen]

I don't get why someone is so anti comms that they put bases on all the locations, I find the comms fun =/

[dry escarp]

they get in the way, i franky more prefer for tips to show up on my screen instead of 10th "hello from (country)"

[lean falcon]

eyyy

[astral glen]

I think its more like in the spirit of a community expedition

[lean falcon]

Oh. My.

[astral glen]

"We're from here, here, here, here, here" is showing a larger community

blocking it off is just boring and lame

[dry escarp]

might be lame but im playing expedition for story line and rewards, not to meet up with the community

[half olive]

Do we know if it boosts any ship stats like the others do?

[astral glen]

thats fair for you, but for other people that enjoy it KuMien thats not cool to block them off from having fun in that

[dusty viper]

Idk about storyline, ive been staring at the back of my characters head and listening to youtube for 4 hours waiting on stormfish

[faint mesa]

I immediately installed in the initial ship in honor of ||the Angler||.

[dry escarp]

then make disabling comm balls an option

[lean falcon]

Looks like maneuverability

[astral glen]

Make setting up bases at important expedition spots disabled alternatively

[half olive]

Oh 👀 joy

[dry escarp]

this expedition isn't the most thrilling, but previous ones, like the polestar my beloved was very intersting

[half olive]

Can't wait to try it on this ship then. Will have to rearrange a few things.

[lean falcon]

It's a shame bobbleheads are ridiculous. You can have them all, as long as you only want to see Polo

[carmine prism]

Chitin is missing leggings, deep sea is missing gloves, and both are missing torso

Is there gonna be a Lost & Found Expedition or something?

[faint mesa]

Wait, I could swear there were gloves

[carmine prism]

Nah

[faint mesa]

Oh, there isn't indeed

[shut mango]

ewards

[faint mesa]

Yep, that... typo?... has been there since forever

At this point I wouldn't correct it anymore, it's part of the game's lore

[lean falcon]

My bobblehead guide needs an update. Agh transparency
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3320553005

[carmine prism]

Does anybody know why the last two expedition cosmetic sets were incomplete?

[faint mesa]

No particular reason I guess, HG doesn't need to model everything

Some expeditions only gave helmets, some only capes, some only backpacks...

[carmine prism]

What is the point of making a set of cosmetics

If you can even be asked to complete the set

Capes and backpacks can look nice on their own, so can most of the helmets

(Except the Lost Bathysphere)

But the difference is these are meant to be a set

[half olive]

It's a miracle they are still adding stuff to this game. So I'm thankful just to get anything tbh

[carmine prism]

It can't really be called adding if it will never be completed

[faint mesa]

I'm just glad we are getting more choices lol. But that's a valid point... I guess best you can do is contact them at Zendesk

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[carmine prism]

It's like the flamethrower, can't really say it is an addition to the game when it was deleted and can't even be damage boosted

Stuck doing at most 120 damage

Per like, 120 ammo

If something will never be used or seen

Is it even in the game?

[inland rain]

Is the current expedition worth making a new save for long term play, or just use terminal from current main save?

[faint mesa]

You end up with a nice exosuit, a bad ship and a bad multitool, so... you might want to start from the terminal

[inland rain]

🤷 figures

[faint mesa]

...well, I guess you also end up with plenty of nanites / units from fishing

[inland rain]

8 years for a fishing mechanic lol

[faint mesa]

To be fair, the idea is fairly recent

[half olive]

Kinda similar to the fishing mechanic in ESO. Only in nms you can fish anywhere unlike ESO where you can only do it in fishing hot spots.

[blissful onyx]

you can fish underwater in nms so that says enough

nms >>

[faint mesa]

Wait, really? I never tried, never crossed my mind lol.

[blissful onyx]

yea idk how I saw someone post a image of it

in main chat

I guess you just fish

[half olive]

You basically get knocked off the raft and sink down into the water while doing the fishing mechanic lol

[severe mantle]

it happens so often 💔

[faint mesa]

Oh, makes sense.

[carmine prism]

That reminds me

I was hoping you could fish in the moon door thing in underwater bases

But you can't

[blissful onyx]

f

[half olive]

I got caught in a wind storm while fishing and was flying in the air for a few seconds. That was interesting

[severe mantle]

i got picked up by a wind storm while fishing and slammed into the ground and died

[half olive]

Oof 😣

[carmine prism]

I just got thrown in to the sea

[faint mesa]

What pissed me was getting attacked by pirates while fishing

I was just fishing, for crying out loud

[carmine prism]

Maybe you had one of them citrus fish or something

[faint mesa]

Two times.

You can't even fish in peace anymore

[carmine prism]

Maybe they saw the glare off the scales of one of your fish from an off-the-grid ramshackle pirate space station made of several large ships

Like rum row

[severe mantle]

should've disabled hostiles in the fishing expedition ngl

[humble bramble]

I was thrust into like 3 space battles

[exotic fiber]

I just finished an expedition a few days ago (or was it last week? I'm a bit time-blind), and now there's already a new one live?? facepalm I can't keep up!

[faint mesa]

I faced none, thankfully

[humble bramble]

You finished liquidators yeah

[faint mesa]

Well, this one runs until october 21st, so you can give youself some rest. 😅

[astral glen]

No Hostiles, no comms, fox only, final destination, the only way expeditions should be for now on lmao

[faint mesa]

I was quite surprised by the amount of comm balls... in the first day.

[exotic fiber]

No combat required this time??

[astral glen]

I am saddened by the lack of comms after the first world

[inland rain]

Is there any bugs on the expedition?

[faint mesa]

I saw plenty in all rendezvous

[half olive]

Yes and no. Physical combat? No. Mental combat? Yes. Rng can be a PAIN in this one

[tawdry relic]

i hate these storm fish

[astral glen]

Gabriel I just went to the 3rd rendezvous and there were 3

[lean falcon]

For people searching for Scales of Fire. Complete the other tasks until you get the upgraded fishing pole. 5th Rendezvous planet. Deep water, maybe. That's it.

[exotic fiber]

Thank the maker! (re: no physical combat)

[tawdry relic]

tell me about it

i got a second ||angler|| before i got the 7 high-temp fish :/

[faint mesa]

Weird, I saw a lot on all of them, but might be connection related, these things work in a strange way

[astral glen]

maybe

might be based on region/server

[faint mesa]

...can you get a second?
That does look like a bug lol.

[astral glen]

but someone named Alex locked off so far all the rendevous points so far so no one can put anymore down

[carmine prism]

||I brought mine with me back to my main save, as a little adventure buddy, he can have an aquarium in the pilot pit behind me||

[tawdry relic]

might have been

the catch that shows on screen and the catch that shows up in my inventory has been desynced for some reason

[half olive]

This is the one that gave me trouble. It took forever for me to complete. Even with the storm bait.

[tawdry relic]

im waiting until tomorrow to start on that one 😭

i got class tmrw i needa sleep

[astral glen]

The next update: No Combat, No Comms, no fuel, no non paradise planets, no items, fox only, final destination

[faint mesa]

I'm yet to do that milestone by the way... one of the last ones for me and I just know I'll suffer

[tawdry relic]

the one im scared of is the 100kg fish one

i KNOW that thing is going to evade me for like 12 hours

[half olive]

You can find that on the torrid planet that's a long the expedition route

I forget it's name

[tawdry relic]

whats the portal coordinates

[faint mesa]

Happened accidentally for me, don't worry, it shouldn't be too hard

[uncut crane]

im trying to do the message in the bottle for the 2nd rendezvous, but i dont see any marker for it anywhere

[carmine prism]

I actually found mine pretty early on

[uncut crane]

i think i went to it and then left and i cant find it when coming back

[humble bramble]

Just fish on the planet

[uncut crane]

ok

[tawdry relic]

my best is 75kg

[carmine prism]

There was this planet that weirdly enough, only had crabs

[faint mesa]

There are no marks, just fish on the rendezvous planet

[carmine prism]

And apparently one of the little dudes weighed 100kg

[faint mesa]

You get some huge ones on the last rendezvous, possibly because it's on a deep sea area

[noble cobalt]

Who pinged me

[faint mesa]

I didn't, but I mentioned I was amazed at how quickly you finished the expedition lol.

[noble cobalt]

I speedruned it and actually had fun

Ngl amazing expeditiob

[faint mesa]

Like... I'm not exactly slow on these things and I think I'll clock almost 5h...

[carmine prism]

I found a nice planet during the expedition

[sonic oar]

FINALLYYY

THAT TOOK LIKE AN HOUR JUST FOR THIS QUEST

MY LUCK IS SO BAD LOL

[blissful onyx]

eat him

[compact crypt]

Just finished. I managed to complete in roughly 2.5/3 hrs. Going in with a ton of bionic lure and other stuff really helped. Plus got pretty lucky with my pickups. My last two quests were, as I had anticipated, the 100 fish, and the 13 from autonomous fishers

Plus, I sort of had a route planned

[noble cobalt]

Le fishing

[compact crypt]

Not sure what the lost angler's rig does or if it's just cosmetic for the fishing rod.

[noble cobalt]

Cosmetic most likelly

[faint mesa]

(Dammit, great username looool)

[compact crypt]

that's my guess, but it would be cool if it had a slight stat buff, even if it were 1%

[noble cobalt]

Hehe

[compact crypt]

kind of curious as to the impact of different foodstuffs, but given the amount and variety of food, crafting and trying it all would be a serious undertaking

at least food now has more usage

[faint mesa]

You can use some bizarre stuff as baits too. I do wonder if it makes a difference. Using carbon for instance

...hadal cores.

[humble bramble]

Doesn't it show the stats on the bait men7

[faint mesa]

Only for some specific baits

[compact crypt]

AFAIK, there's no ingame knowledge to know in advance of trying it out. So, we'd have to experiment with every single possible bait types

[faint mesa]

I used a bunch of meaty chunks just to open inventory and didn't notice much of a difference in the fish

[livid kayak]

Is there a specific way to fish up Angler messages or is it in any body of water and a random chance?

Also can you drive the skiff or is it just a summonable platform?

[compact crypt]

my theory as to why it directs you to irradiated planet first and hot planet later is so you can pick up gamma weed for lubricant, which can then make the bionic lures, which are really useful for getting the uncommons+

[faint mesa]

The latter, you just have to be on the right planet.

[livid kayak]

The timing could NOT be better lmao

[humble bramble]

Just a platform

[compact crypt]

not sure if this matters, but you should also have the mission active.

[livid kayak]

I just had it active before this cast too

[compact crypt]

you can sort of drive it. If you resummon it to a further location, the skiff, instead of teleporting, will slowly move to the selected location

[faint mesa]

It does matter, yes, good reminder

[compact crypt]

My strategy for the autonomous fishers was to take them with me to new locations. After I unlocked them, I built two, and placed them while I was fishing. Once I met the other goals for that location, I collected the fish, picked up the fishers, and went to the new location. Seemed to work

[humble bramble]

It's on a timer so if you spent like an hour per thing then yeah it should work

[compact crypt]

I think it's an hour to get 4 or so. You can get 2 in a shorter time span

[faint mesa]

My recommendation: build 3 of those things.

[humble bramble]

Yeah

[faint mesa]

You can clear the milestone in 30-40min

[compact crypt]

I wasn't keeping accurate time. I estimated that I started at around 9:00/9:30pm EST, after doing some prep work

[humble bramble]

It was the last milestone I needed

[compact crypt]

I did that and the 100 in quick succession, since they were collecting while I was rounding out the full 100

It was close on the storm one, though

I got lucky with a late storm, and my bionics caught 2 pretty close. The last I had caught during a storm earlier in my run

[sonic oar]

whats the best planet for the ||storm quest?||

[faint mesa]

Unfortunately I couldn't clear the storm milestone

[humble bramble]

Any planet with storms

[faint mesa]

But the one I'm expecting to give me a headache is the scorched one

[compact crypt]

Basically all of the Rendevous

[humble bramble]

Use storm bait and get lucky

Idk what else to tell you

[sonic oar]

so no planets have more storms than others?

[faint mesa]

Some do, but my advice is take any opportunity, the expedition will give you some

[compact crypt]

I only had to visit one planet that wasn't a rendevous, and that was only to release fish that I had brought with me to get early nanites to bring in my ship/multitool

[faint mesa]

Oh, which reminds me...

Someone said the first planet is just 4 creatures, easy to find, 1000 nanites right at the start

[compact crypt]

I would play very differently if I had to do everything from scratch

[faint mesa]

I'd add to that: spend it on hyperdrive modules

Jumping from one rendezvous to another directly will make things faster

[compact crypt]

They're also all relatively close, and most hyperdrives will save on fuel

[humble bramble]

Oh can you release fish on any planet or do you have to release them in their native environment

I meant to test that but forgot

[compact crypt]

as far as I can tell, the environment doesn't matter. I picked up the fish from an 'arid' and let them go on a 'frozen'

[faint mesa]

Yep, you can release them anywhere you want

Just need to be close to water

[compact crypt]

Fishing is now one of my favorite ways to get nanites

it's definitely not the most optimal, but it is the most relaxing

[humble bramble]

Makes sense

[sonic oar]

mould farming is awful but man is it effective

fishing is peak for enjoyment

imo

[compact crypt]

Now that there is another use for food, I'm tempted to circle back on trying to make every possible food stuff with every recipe

I find if I really need a lot of nanites, the fastest, most soul-sucking way to do it is arbitrage at space stations of races you have max rank with

Just go up to all of the vendors and buy all the stuff and sell them right back

(Just make sure not to buy the Reactor cores)

I am so glad that I have a much more enjoyable alternative

[indigo falcon]

I spent my first nanites on a hyperdrive module at the first space station that had A class or better of them. then later I got an S one of those, made all the rend. systems be one hop away essentially

(and yeah that's with the crap hauler the game gives you.)

[faint mesa]

If I recall correctly first system has A-class and B-class modules, makes about 490ly without using SC slots

It's enough for the whole expedition

[ashen shore]

Is anything stopping me from buying a bunch of stuff while in a creative game and then starting an expedition from the anomaly while transferring stuff?

[indigo falcon]

you can do that, but remember that you don't get access to any of it until after your first warp

[faint mesa]

Is the ship model the same for everyone? The ship is named, which isn't that common

[lean falcon]

No.

[indigo falcon]

ship name is the same

[ashen shore]

I'm gonna get the iron vulture so fast

[faint mesa]

This expedition's lore made me stick with the initial ship

But it is indeed terrible.

[blazing fossil]

Wrong expedition mate

[ashen shore]

Most expedition starship rewards are pretty mid stat wise, but the stats on the iron vulture are just insane. I don't think we've ever had a starter starship this good ever since they're supposed to be garbage

[faint mesa]

My Vulture is (amusingly) my best ship on my main save, including damage potential...

[humble bramble]

The fastest for me is going to pirate stations and buying their packets and sell the modules you get

[faint mesa]

I don't even know how that happened.

[ashen shore]

No i meant you can use the iron vulture here. It probably costs a good 1k nanites though

[indigo falcon]

2.8k on a regular save i think to copy it over

this catch and release mechanism may not be the fastest way to get nanites but it's certainly a chill one

[ashen shore]

Its got like 700 hyperdrive range and rechargeable landing gear

[faint mesa]

Yep, but weird stuff happened.
All my ships are maxed out on my main save, and the Vulture's damage is greater than almost all of them... and I have plenty of fighters lol.

Not to mention shields and whatnot

[ashen shore]

Its just that the iron vulture doesnt look aesthetically pleasing when compared to the starborn or golden vector

It looks like a spy kids vehicle

[hollow girder]

For Scales of Fire: Does it have to be on the fifth rendevous planet?

[humble bramble]

Yes

[hollow girder]

Been fishing above the ruins, nothing so far. Hmm.

[faint mesa]

It may take some time

[hollow girder]

Also, what are the trident keys for?

[ashen shore]

Oh man, the fishing mechanic is pure rng isn't it? I didn't consider that

[ashen shore]

No crap it's the fishing update xD

[faint mesa]

You don't use them I think. It's just for the story

[ashen shore]

Based, devs will stop making us play lottery with every since mechanic in this game

[compact crypt]

In case you want the buried treasures at the last rendezvous

[faint mesa]

By "some time" I mean anything between 30 seconds to an hour

[faint mesa]

Oh. I might have missed that...

[compact crypt]

I wasn’t that psyched about the initial Worlds update, as it didn’t do much for my playstyle. With this, though the new water reallly makes fishing so enjoyable

[ashen shore]

catch fish that are only active during the day

WHAT THATS IMPOSSIBLE.
theres no clock in this game, how are you supposed to figure out if its night or not?

[sonic oar]

look up🗣️

[compact crypt]

Each planet has a day night cycle

[indigo falcon]

thereis absolutely a clock

[faint mesa]

A matter of whether there's sun or not lol (but the milestone gives you a clock when active)

[indigo falcon]

hole down the button as if you were to scan things. look upper right

[ashen shore]

When sun out it day time

When no sun it night time

[ashen shore]

Oh shit really? Thats actually neat

[compact crypt]

Oh. I caught the night fish without activating this. I just knew I had to do it, so waited for night and brought out shadow lure

[faint mesa]

A similar mechanic was in Adrift (the milestone in which you had to gaze at the stars)

[humble bramble]

Is it dark on the planet

[finite flower]

See if there's a sun in the sky or not? lol

[humble bramble]

Okay but on a real note there's always been a planetary time in your analysis visor

[ashen shore]

Apparently the quest will tell you. I'm waiting for the expedition on the switch so i was looking at the quests

[humble bramble]

It has time zones iirc

[humble bramble]

It will tell you though yeah

[ashen shore]

It looks pretty crude but you're right, i never noticed that timer on the corner

[sonic oar]

GG. one day completion, no ship or multitool copy

I also got to keep the super cursed multitool

[rotund dove]

There is a clock at the bottom left in at mission they told you what time is it

Bottom right sorry

[humble bramble]

I've used it a lot searching for diurnal and nocturnal animals

[viral holly]

How do I install a hyperdrive to my starter ship?? It didn't come with one installed and there is no option to install it under technology

[indigo falcon]

you'll get a hyperdrive from an early milestone

[viral holly]

I didnt see it thank you!

[muted granite]

How do I release fish back into the water?

[indigo falcon]

hover over it in the inventory, it will tell you which button. be right by the water.

[muted granite]

oh perfect! thanks!

[iron sedge]

2 billion credits?? (Haven't tried the expedition yet but that seems like a lot)

[muted granite]

for the achievement for selling fish - do cooked fish count, or is it just raw caught fish?

[ashen shore]

I was gonna say hack, but that button prompt is for console.

[sonic oar]

oh yea I probably should have clarified lol, after like 10 hours of finding and selling sentinal ships I got kinda sick of it so Ive just duped AI Valves (i think thats what they are called)

It was my first expedition so I didnt know what I would need, hence the 2b lmao

ended up not needing a new multitool, ship, or any major upgrades

[iron sedge]

😂

[balmy aspen]

If anyone is looking for an irradiated planet with water to fish in, Awki Sigma in the Eugeli system for Phase 3 has plenty of water! It's a nuclear planet, and getting into the water gives you more rads than being out of it!

I caught 4 uncommon, radioactive fish in pretty quick succession there

[indigo falcon]

one of the rend. planets is irradiated, I don't remember which one

[compact crypt]

Cooked fish do not count

[carmine prism]

Why are people talking about using the clock to tell the time when you can just, you know, look up

Wrong time of day? May I introduce you to the other side of the planet where it is the right time?

[exotic timber]

Some planets with a color tint or during a storm is hard to tell if the sun is up or not

[carmine prism]

I'd argue it is pretty clear when it is night time

It's dark.

Storms I can understand

[indigo falcon]

the player said in their first post that there was no in-game clock, so I wanted to give them the info on that which they were missing

[knotty marsh]

Having trouble with Anglers Legacy? Make sure you're on the 5th randevou planet, and have the best lure equipped.
fishing on deep waters might also be a factor. Good luck!

[indigo falcon]

I did it without thenew rod

[blazing fossil]

Technically all rods are new

[carmine prism]

Normal rod, I thought the new one was a lot of work for seemingly cosmetic

[carmine prism]

Actually no I can't

Even on extreme planets the difference is decently stark

[iron sedge]

What if they were near a pole and had very long dawns/twilights?

[ionic chasm]

Anyone else had trouble placing the skiff in PSVR2.

Think it needs patching

[thick umbra]

Fixed an issue that made it difficult to summon the Exo-Skiff in VR.
Its already done in experimental version

[ionic chasm]

Great, thanks forcthe info

[woeful nimbus]

Anyone have any tips for catching stormy fish? I have the magpulse lures, not sure if there’s a best planet for me to fish on but I’m not getting anything

[exotic timber]

Does fish catalogue carries over to main save or should I transfer fishes over at the end of expedition?

[woeful nimbus]

Finally 😁

[woeful nimbus]

They sort of carry over?

Unlocked and visible but won’t appear as though you caught them

[exotic timber]

Ah

Okay, fishies going into the terminal then

[warm quartz]

any tips on what to bring

[indigo falcon]

the expedition provides a lot. there's a general guide for all expeditions here #nms-expedition message but you should look at the milestone rewards and see what things are given to you that you won't need to bring from the general list.

[warm quartz]

thanks

is there a way to see what missions before i go in

eh i can just do it blind

it will be fun

[indigo falcon]

the milestones and rewards are pinned in a post in here in case you want to sneak peek

[warm quartz]

oh

legendary mate

i might just bring my ship over

you cant lose it can you

[indigo falcon]

if you copy over your ship, it costs some nanites on the expedition side. it's a copy so it doesn't impact the original on the existing save.

[warm quartz]

awesome

[indigo falcon]

omg I thought I was making one magpulse lure at a time, I was making ... well, a lot. I have 140 of them now 🙄

[warm quartz]

at least you can catch 140 magpulses

[indigo falcon]

lololol

[warm quartz]

lmao at this multitool i started with

[hexed bison]

at least you know you won't run out.

[warm quartz]

what is that

[hexed bison]

Lego.

[warm quartz]

fr

[indigo falcon]

welp now I wait for a storm. sheesh

ok really? got hit by (probably an underwater creature) while standing on the skiff, no storm in sight, just minding my own business. also got the mordite. and meaty chunks. meh bad collision

[languid rose]

Hm. Is it intended that the players hands aren’t visible holding the fishing rig in 1st person?

[indigo falcon]

no idea, are they visible when holding weapons? (I play in third person except in ship)

[valid grove]

They arent visible, so it is probably intended

[balmy aspen]

for the angler message bottles, do you need to be near the hidden spot location to find them? Does it need to be in shallow water?

[indigo falcon]

no and no, just find water somewhere on the planet, does need to be the sam eplanet though

[hexed bison]

think you just have to be on the same planet but idk

[balmy aspen]

Cheers 🙂

[warm quartz]

how do you get the ability to go to the anomoly

i forgor

[indigo falcon]

after first warp, go to space station (recommended highly) or planet, get out of ship. get back in, you'll have it in the menu

[warm quartz]

cheers mate

[indigo falcon]

in the meantime that's now three creatures I've murdered by standing here quietly on the skiff. the meaty chunks keep rolling in

[warm quartz]

predatory fish?

[indigo falcon]

nah, bad collision, it happen sometimes in water too, on worlds with nothing aggressive

[hexed bison]

more free food.

[indigo falcon]

they spawn into you kind of and so you get damage and food (andmordite)

4 now

[limpid swift]

anyone got ScreenShots of the bottle portal glyphs?

[indigo falcon]

I've kept all the bottles so I could get them

[limpid swift]

i finihsed the expedition and I now have these

[indigo falcon]

I'll make sure to screenshot soon in that case

[limpid swift]

yea

maybe its nothing, or maybe teaser for next update

[indigo falcon]

I'll compare against the portal glyphs for the systems in the pinned post in here

aaaand 5 critters. welp

6

[limpid swift]

??

[indigo falcon]

critters killed when not visible, death by bad collision, they spawn in while I'm on the skiff and isntadie, I get mordite, meaty chunks and a small amount of damage

[balmy aspen]

anyone gotten the Scales of Fire? Do you need to be in a particular spot to get it, or is it RNG?

[indigo falcon]

rng. go anywhere

[limpid swift]

yea. RNG

[balmy aspen]

should I use particular bait?

[limpid swift]

on the planet anywhere I think, not any planet, but the last one

nah, any bait will do

[indigo falcon]

I didn't use any bait

[limpid swift]

lets go divin' mate

[naive prism]

i like how there was barely time to cycle the #nms-expedition channel between expeditions, this turnaround time is insane 😆 🐟

[warm quartz]

bruh one of the planets in the first system had 3 minerals next to eachother called rocki, rockon and rocka

[indigo falcon]

lol

[acoustic jacinth]

Is there a planet in fishing Spot 4 system with a hot climate? Or is there a planet in any system with hot climate?

[limpid swift]

lots. every system has something like that

[indigo falcon]

I went back to r.. uh.... r1? was it that one? one of the early rend. system planets is hot.

[acoustic jacinth]

Ok thx

[remote thunder]

starter system exotic

[warm quartz]

thats huge

[indigo falcon]

yeah I saw it in the station but was broke af then. got a screenshot of it anyhow

[bold atlas]

When the ||Scales of Fire fish appears||?

[remote thunder]

just keep fishing, random drop from what i've heard

SFS III, Eugeli

[woeful nimbus]

Hey guys, how do I go about bringing the second fishing rig to my main save? I finished the expedition with it installed, but when I returned to my main save it wasn’t an installable technology and it’s not in the quicksilver store ):

[indigo falcon]

it is random indeed. I fished some and it shows up, no special measures needed

[indigo falcon]

it shooould have been in the qs store under expedition rewards, as a blueprint

[limpid swift]

you unlock it from the guy in the Anomaly

[remote thunder]

in the qs shop, did you check create qs rewards instead of claim exp rewards?

[hexed bison]

r2 planet is hot.

[woeful nimbus]

I’m big dumb. It’s there. Thank you

[remote thunder]

SFS II is indeed scorched

[indigo falcon]

seem like they swapped the milestones for hot and irradiated uncommon

putting each in the phase of the other

[remote thunder]

oh ok, didn't notice that

[limpid swift]

hah me neither

[warm quartz]

do mineral surveys actually have to be at the landing site

cause theres one mineral there

[indigo falcon]

no, you can keep going

[warm quartz]

thanks

[fringe agate]

Aquarius role is live in #roles

[warm quartz]

yeah i think its broken

rough

[wintry void]

Ow Bk201 is doing my job

[remote thunder]

thanks gleam 🙂

[remote thunder]

lol, i only grabbed it because i heard it land while i was nearby 😄

[fringe agate]

No problem

[wintry void]

The best bait

[balmy aspen]

?

[warm quartz]

master

[serene flax]

I assume I can’t catch all scorched fish on one planet right?

[warm quartz]

😦

[indigo falcon]

why not? if it's a scorched world

[serene flax]

Been here at R2 for a while and only found 3 unique ones

[winged orchid]

It’s just rng

[serene flax]

I’m moving to a new location, that could possibly be the answer

[wintry void]

Just use the crafted bait

[serene flax]

Fair ok

[indigo falcon]

try a bait if you have a suitable one, or patience

[serene flax]

Will do

[balmy aspen]

Is the R2 scorced planet Odeg 89/A2?

[serene flax]

Yep

[wintry void]

Yes, thats the 1 I used

[balmy aspen]

cool

[serene flax]

I’m just a little west of the checkpoint myself

[wintry void]

Doesn't really matter, I just picked a spot in ocean and stood on my ship

[serene flax]

Skiff fishing > ship fishing

lol

I really should go and get the auto fisher before I look for scorched fish

Would increase my output

[wintry void]

If you say so, it doesn't give you any bonus for standing on ship

[serene flax]

Yeah I know, I’m just having fun

[acoustic jacinth]

I am getting mad. It keeps saying this! No suitable scorched worlds.

[wintry void]

Just go back to R2

I wonder if you get 5% chance of s class fish in outlaw

[warm quartz]

do different class fish just sell for more

or are they tastier and yummier

[indigo falcon]

more nanites on release I think too

[warm quartz]

oh cool you get nanites

im not up to the part where i can catch fish yet

[indigo falcon]

you will be, very soon 🙂

[warm quartz]

hype

cant wait to retire on a nice planet, fishing and letting my lads go wild

the pets

[inland rain]

How to get fins of thunder to proc?

[indigo falcon]

whichone is tthat, the storm one? make yousome storm bait and be really patient

[meager stream]

W8 releasing gives nanites? 😮

[indigo falcon]

you can easily buy all the ingredients fot the magpulse one at the right space station

[inland rain]

How to unlock ingredients for the lures?

[indigo falcon]

a milestone gives you the blueprints

phase 2 message in a bottle, I think

[warm quartz]

i caught a fishing

[balmy aspen]

does using the traps count towards catching hot/storm fish?

[indigo falcon]

nope

[balmy aspen]

drat

[indigo falcon]

you can release 'em for nanites though, that counts

or sell them if you're actually interested in a milestone (500k units)

[warm quartz]

does super charging fishing rod do anything\

[indigo falcon]

no idea, didn't try to test that

[wise thicket]

so is this just "get random item from fishing" or is there something specific im supposed to do

[indigo falcon]

yeah random item. boot or whatever, it's all rng

don't use bait for it

[warm quartz]

can you wear the boot

[serene flax]

Oh joy… I love going to the next rendezvous and seeing a huge cluster of political messages for America….

[indigo falcon]

meh

[serene flax]

“Harris destroyed America” says 5 of them

[warm quartz]

that would be cool if they added like catchable gear

like a fishing hat

[indigo falcon]

if it's a planet near the route, I'll report it if it's "A B in 2024" that kind of thing

otherwise I just grit my teeth and move on

[indigo falcon]

love the idea, you could make a feature request 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

i saw one in the last expedition that was like "i gargle donalds balls because i love him and want to cuddle him"

or something like that

[warm quartz]

ok

[serene flax]

You 100% should

[warm quartz]

but then John Hello, founder of hello games will have my email address with my real name

[serene flax]

I would love to have a hat to put Ontop of my helmet

Or you can just put it in the suggestion channel here

[warm quartz]

nah its fine

if he slides into my emails thats ok

wait hello games has more games?

i thought they only made no mans sky

[indigo falcon]

the next big thing which is probably years way, is "light no fire", there's a channel here dedicated to it but it has also its own discord

[warm quartz]

yeah ive heard of that one

looks cool

i saw you can fly around on giant finches

so im in

[serene flax]

I’ll be definitely getting light no fire, hello games has got my eternal respect after seeing the evolution of this game

[chilly steeple]

any tips for "Scales of Fire?"

been fishing for some time. 🐟 https://i.imgur.com/T5c8uvM.png

[wraith junco]

[chilly steeple]

I did, and just bad rng, as I just caught it

[cedar jetty]

How does expedition work when starting from your save?

Like when you take stuff

[balmy aspen]

so you just need to be on that r5 planet and keep on fishing? No particular bait?

[cedar jetty]

is whatever you have at end transfer over?

[indigo falcon]

I used no bait for this.

[chilly steeple]

I was actually using mealworms, but yes rz5

[balmy aspen]

Thanks, you said so earlier, but I am being paranoid 🙂

[balmy aspen]

Cool 🙂

[indigo falcon]

no worries, it's always fine to double-check. the only thing I used bait for was the storm fish, it just took too long otherwise

but you can use bait to speed things up for: night fish, day fish, large fish, and uncommon fish

oh and legendaries apparently, though I caught several without needing it

[balmy aspen]

Yeah, I got 2/3 storm fish while trying to get the hot fish

[indigo falcon]

there ya go, just keep at it, or do other things and fish in the storm while you do them

[zealous rock]

I like that they added a purpose to the fish 😂

[dawn kraken]

has anyone figured out how to complete the scales of fire step? i'm on the last planet fishing over the sunken ruins and can't find the anglers legacy. do you need a special bait or something?

[shy stirrup]

dont need a special bait for it, and u dont even gotta stay on that planet. I just picked it up from a trap i set on some random planet

[balmy aspen]

Really?!?

[shy stirrup]

yeah. the quest tip was telling me to go back to the angler's last location but i kept fishing and caught it anyway

somehow at 0/3 storm fish 😔

[balmy aspen]

oh yeah, they took a while for me

finally got the last one

my tip: do them at the r2 planet, you can get hot fish and storm fish at the same time

[woeful nimbus]

Anyone know if it’s possible to upgrade skiff cold storage from 10 slots (normal save) to 50 like in the expedition?

[astral dome]

Ok the high temp fish thing is annoying, game says i am in a system with the correct type of planet but the correct type of planet has zero water on it.

[balmy aspen]

Go to Odeg 89/A2 for Phase 2, that's a great planet for that

[static cave]

Is anyone else having problems setting the trap? I just built my underwater base and tried to place my trap right outside of it and it is saying that I need to place trap underwater?!?!?! I'm right outside the underwater base LOL

[dry escarp]

it's suppose to be placed ON water

on the surface of water

[static cave]

Ohhhh, that would definitely make a difference LOL. Thanks a lot, much appreciated

[astral dome]

I just wish the skiff moved.

[viral yacht]

I agree but I reckon people would use the sub even less if it did

[dry escarp]

sub can go under water and is slow, skiff could swim on water and be fast

[viral yacht]

You can make the sub fast with modules. Having the skiff move would devalue the sub even more.

[misty plinth]

ok , am i doin something wrong. Im doin the scales if fire. on the planet where randavue 5.. Ive used no bait, the meat bait and am now 25 uses into using spicy chum. am i doin something wrong to catch this rare fish? its the only 1 i havent completed for the expedition.

[balmy aspen]

skiff needs to be more stable, I've fallen off it so many times while fishing

[viral yacht]

I can agree on that. Maybe make it a tad bigger also. Also each rarity should have its own inventory. But limit stack size.

[misty plinth]

i agree, ive gone to landing my ship on the water and just standing on that because the skiff keeps tossing me overboard

[balmy aspen]

Unfortunately, it appears to be purely RNG. People have caught it with or without bait, even in traps on other planets

[balmy aspen]

I would do that but I brought my exotic and standing on it is painful 🙂

[indigo falcon]

don't use bait, not needed. just fish, wherever, any body of water there will do. and be patient.

toss back the ones you don't want (free nanites) and enjoy the chill.

[balmy aspen]

I found out you can use caught fish as bait as well

[astral dome]

I wonder what a warp core would do as bait.

[viral yacht]

Shouldn't show up in bait menu.

Doesn't*

[misty plinth]

moved to a new spot, on the same planet. cought it first catch

[indigo falcon]

you can use any food item as bait incl creature pellets 😄

[misty plinth]

missed 1 mission. gota catch 3 fish that only swim during a storm. sigh i thought i did that.

guess it didnt count because i wasnt using the storm specific bait

now that i need a storm, watch none show up. LOL

would be my luck

[balmy aspen]

Yay, I got the Angler! I thought I would be here for a while, but I caught it in a lake in less than 20m of water (not that it matters).

[mint pivot]

Lol I need to catch to more fish that appear during the day but I ran out of the bait and I can find any solar panes

[misty plinth]

the limit 3 traps per planet is kinda depressing.

[brave echo]

I really hope this expedition comes out for the Switch today. It's my cats birthday and he passed away in March and I really need a distraction

Fake fishing would be so nice right now

[maiden swift]

I'm having a weird issue where I'm outside my underwater base and trying to place the fishing trap (out in the sea) and it tells me it must be placed under water. I just can't find a spot where it will let me place.

[balmy aspen]

Sorry to hear that 😦

The fishing is pretty chill, I think you'll enjoy it when it gets to Switch

[balmy aspen]

You gotta place it on top of the water

[maiden swift]

ha! that message is VERY misleading

thanks

[misty plinth]

i placed mine on the water surface around my ship

[balmy aspen]

Yeah it is not helpful

[maiden swift]

I also had a weird issue where I couldn't place a watertight door on my underwater building, but closing and restarting the game solved that

[indigo falcon]

if you can catch them without the bait, they will still count.

[indigo falcon]

don't need bait tbh, just fish during the day for awhile, they'll show

[dry escarp]

is lost angler rig required for scales of fire?

[maiden swift]

also, the recipe for the diurnal bait sounds expensive, but you get 20 per craft.

[balmy aspen]

I don't think so, but I equipped it just in case it gave me some kind of advantage

Also, it looks cool

[maiden swift]

looking cool is a win

[muted granite]

“The recipe”? I think there should be a few. Cooked a starter fish and got a diurnal bait. Probably lower stats though? 🙏

[balmy aspen]

Scales of Fire seems like a purely RNG exercise, but hopefully it doesn't take too long

[maiden swift]

I mean the recipe for the dangling orb

[muted granite]

Ohhhhh

Ooof

[maiden swift]

that comment was for the person trying to catch day fish with no bait

[muted granite]

Gotcha

[maiden swift]

anyone know if cooking and selling the result counts toward making 500K from selling fish?

[sturdy hinge]

The angler do be testing my patience

[misty plinth]

heh, know what ya mean. i went through over 50 bait. moved to a new spot. removed the bait and cought it right away.

now im just waiting for a storm to show up. would be nice to find a planet that had storms more than once an hour

lol

[sturdy hinge]

Storm fish?

[misty plinth]

is that what they are called? it says to catch 3 fish that only swim during storms

[sturdy hinge]

I call them that cause too many species name

[indigo falcon]

not at all. I didn't install the lost rig until after completing all milestones

[misty plinth]

i had cought a bunch of fish on the frozen planet where i built my water base. I was well over 10 fish cought during the storm. wonder why they didnt count.

[sturdy hinge]

Rendevou 4 should have an activated copper planet which should help the fishing

[sturdy hinge]

Just like fire, ice, day and night fish, the description should say they are storm fish

[misty plinth]

lots of storms?

[sturdy hinge]

Fairly frequent

[misty plinth]

thanks ill head there. cuz this is boring waiting here at rev 5

[indigo falcon]

they need to be "only in storm" in the description, not just "and you happend to catch them while a storm was going on". think of them as the analogue to storm crystals

[muted granite]

Only fish themselves, not cooked parts. Tried that last night 😦

[maiden swift]

thanks! I shouldn't have cooked everything up!

ah, forced to relax with more fishing

[misty plinth]

heh, is it a bad thing i take fish cought on 1 planet and release em in the water of another planet?? the species contamination shouldnt be effected to badly???

[sturdy hinge]

Should be fine? There’s universe wide fish species

[balmy aspen]

You are the reason I kept catching fish from all over the galaxy!?! 😆

[indigo falcon]

you know, I worried about that when I tossed a bunch of irradiated fish from mytraps into the water on the lush planet which is my main base, such as it is... but the game took it, so 🤷

[balmy aspen]

It won't take you too long, I sold all my greens and blues that I caught trying to get the ones I needed 🙂

[pure valley]

The one that got… do you just need to keep trying

[indigo falcon]

just keep fishing, eventually you'll get a boot or some other random thing. DON'T USE BAIT for that one

[sturdy hinge]

Got the titancore but no angler

sigh

[indigo falcon]

you will. it will come to you.

[sturdy hinge]

It better will

I refuse to be outdone by a fish

[north crypt]

Anyone know where I can find a 100kg+ fish?

[indigo falcon]

rend 5 planet, scan the underwater critters

[sturdy hinge]

Same planet as fire fish in rev 2

[pure valley]

Will there be any twitch drops for this expedition

[north crypt]

kinda lost the system, you got a name?

[indigo falcon]

all those are in a pin here in this channel

[north crypt]

Thanks

[indigo falcon]

(space station list should say in paren "rendezvous 5" underneath the name too)

[ashen copper]

Is there a new expedition?

[indigo falcon]

yes and it's live RIGHT NOW

[ashen copper]

Okay lovely stuff

[balmy aspen]

You have two months to catch all the fish, take your time

[primal arch]

Acts like this is why every planet has the same hazardous flora

[agile crane]

How do I get more of that bionic bait? I dont even have the lubricant plan

[hollow marten]

You can get the recipe from the space anomaly

[indigo falcon]

there's a phase 2 milestone that gives you all the bait recpies I think

phase 2 "message in a bottle"

[sturdy hinge]

Angler has arrived

Im free from fake fishing rng

Begone fishy business

[agile crane]

It does but no plan for lubricant so I can't make anymore for the scales of fire stuff

[indigo falcon]

oh! you don't need any bait for that whatsoever

[maiden swift]

@agile crane you can get the lubricant blueprint from the anomoly

[agile crane]

Ok

[rotund dove]

It is nice to fish but if you can compete it in one day without any upgrades… and than you have to wait 2 months 😅😭

[maiden swift]

@rotund dove what do you have to wait 2 months for?

[sturdy hinge]

Whats the community effort this time around?

[rotund dove]

To the next Expedition

[maiden swift]

ah

[indigo falcon]

there is none, we're back to regular qs items via nexus missions

[sturdy hinge]

Oh

[maiden swift]

you can also put steam on offline mode and play the rebirth expeditions - not sure if links are ok here: https://github.com/leodium/leodium-ReLive-NoMansSky-Expeditions-Offline/tree/main/Expedition 01 Redux - The Pioneers

[indigo falcon]

it's ok but if you get into more discussion on mods, that should go to the #nms-modding channel.

[maiden swift]

@indigo falcon 👍

[fallow acorn]

I am a long time NMS player, but new to expeditions. I did not pack well for this one and its just a bit too frustrating for me to redo everything...beyond the cosmetics, is there any reward in the expedition that provides more functionality? Like does the fishing rig reward provide any benefit or just a cosmetic change?

[maiden swift]

@fallow acorn from my experience, all expeditions are worth doing. I have something from each of them that I'm happy to have

[indigo falcon]

I don't know if there's a stats difference or not, someone will have to dig into the game files to be sure

[fallow acorn]

yeah yeah, the cosmetics are nice, but i just wanna chill and fish...not gather a bunch of resources for fuel and whatnot. If I'd have packed better, wouldnt be an issue. But sounds like I'll just fish happily in my primary save! Thanks!

[indigo falcon]

note that tossing caught fish back in the water gets you nanites, so it would nottake you long to be able to pay to import a copy of your good mt and ship from the main save

[maiden swift]

Also, @fallow acorn, you really don't have to plan for an expedition. speedrunners don't bring anything over.

[indigo falcon]

I didn't bring anything at all, but my tolerance for the early grind might be different

[sturdy hinge]

The only things from this expo that must be packed is fuel and some nanites fwiw, the rest of tech is given by milestone rewards

[maiden swift]

yeah, I get you. I happen to love building up so expeditions are kind of made for me

[sturdy hinge]

Given we’re mostly fishing

Barely any resource is needed outside of fuel

[fallow acorn]

@indigo falcon ohhhh good call. Maybe I'll try that. I noticed that as well on my primary save.... but yeah just done with the grind of NMS. I've done that plenty over the years!

[sturdy hinge]

Hmmm

Anything else thats a must do on the exped? Feels kinda anticlimatic to finish without the comm research

[balmy aspen]

If I scrap an exotic in expedition, any idea how many inventory upgrades I will get?

[blissful warren]

I don't get it... Fishing? Of all things

I mean it's cool but it's just kind of out of nowhere

[indigo falcon]

if you did the milestones then it's up to you. I am mulling over what sort of base on the starter planet might be useful to other players to drop in, not sure it's even needed.

[maiden swift]

I think they've been laying the groundwork for it. aqua jets now have a great purpose

[balmy aspen]

yeah, I agree. It's more a fun distraction than a full expedition

[thick umbra]

Has anyone an Idea where I find such a planet :

[indigo falcon]

to be fair a lot of us have been asking for a fishing mini game for years

[indigo falcon]

one of the rend planets iscold. I forget which one. maybe 3?

[blissful warren]

Yeah but I don't think it warrants a full expedition

[maiden swift]

lol, how much do I have to comment before I can thumbs up a post?

[thick umbra]

Yeah .. but the ocean needs to have uncommon fishes

[blazing fossil]

!familirarrole

[indigo falcon]

I'm sorry but I don't remember, I think the #roles-information or #roles channel will tell you

[sturdy hinge]

Maybe some fuel stuff for those who forgot

[blazing fossil]

Damn

[sturdy hinge]

And nanites

Thats about it

[blissful warren]

nobodies gonna buy nms thinking "Oh boy I can't wait to fish!"

[indigo falcon]

any body of water will have uncommon fish. it's just rng

[blazing fossil]

I would

[thick umbra]

really .. damn

[graceful cobalt]

is it worth doing nms to a nvme?

[maiden swift]

I feel manipulated by having to level up everywhere I go. Why do I love it?

[graceful cobalt]

fast enjoyment

fast reward

your Neurons think they are great

its ok we all do it

[misty plinth]

I would agree if the only thing to do was go fishing. so its a good things NMS has a good amount of content and exploring you can do. and fishing isnt all that bad. they did a better job with fishing than many other games do.,

[sturdy hinge]

Fishing is mostly an excuse to show off new water physics

Which i missed as my base is on a desert planet

[indigo falcon]

is the fishing in this game perfect? no. is it fine for a chillax experience? sure.

[sturdy hinge]

So makes sense update and exped wise

[maiden swift]

I would like the ability to rotate my fishing skiff as I'm placing it from my hov4ering ship so I'm not always ending up pointing at my ship 🙂

[blissful warren]

I'm not saying it isn't well implemented but it's just such a weird addition

[sturdy hinge]

I would like to drive mine, but oh well

[maiden swift]

yes!

[blazing fossil]

You should be able to summon it without standing on your ship

[indigo falcon]

I mean having pets is weird too but it's part of nms' charm

[graceful cobalt]

yes!

[wraith junco]

Aaand done. This exp took me longer than expected

[sturdy hinge]

Nms is a kitchen sink of stuff but i like it that way

[maiden forge]

let us battle our pets

[graceful cobalt]

true

[maiden swift]

I look at fishing this way; they're investing in features that make you feel like you're living in nms. It's not just about getting somewhere else.

[maiden forge]

fishing, pets, etc. - any activities that add depth of gameplay beyond building bases and exploring/generating planets is a good thing

[sturdy hinge]

Yep

[dry escarp]

so erm, how do i do that?

[serene flax]

Hold on the skiff can move??

[dry escarp]

it can't

[indigo falcon]

scan underwater critters. there's one in the r5 ocean I think

[serene flax]

Well I’m making it move rn

Go stand on it and summon it to a new location nearby

[dry escarp]

critters?

[indigo falcon]

you can sort of trick the skiff into slow movement

[serene flax]

It will glide on over

It’s not a trick, it’s just making it move slowly

[indigo falcon]

you know, underwater fauna

[dry escarp]

ohhhh

im a dumbass, i though i was suppose to catch a fish that weights 100kg+

[indigo falcon]

ah! 😄 😄

[dry escarp]

not scan a fauna

[north crypt]

Will the storm bait work if there isn't a storm currently, or do i need to wait?

[maiden swift]

how do you trick the skiff into moving?

[indigo falcon]

there's one for catching very large fish, 3 of them. separate thing!

[serene flax]

Stand in it and “summon” it to a new location

On the water ofc

It will glide across the water veryyyy slowly

[indigo falcon]

you need to catch during a storm with or without bait, must be fish that appear only during a storm (it wil say in their description)

[maiden swift]

ah, will try!

[serene flax]

I only noticed as I’m in super shallow water and saw the plants moving under me

[north crypt]

thought that maybe the bait bypassed that ☹️

[indigo falcon]

nice thought but no

[north crypt]

argh time to wait around doing nothing cause i managed to make that my last milestone

[indigo falcon]

d'oh!

could put out some traps and let them catch for you some fish to toss back for nanites while you wat

and catch some other fish too for more nanites while waiting for the storm to show up

[dry escarp]

gg guys

[north crypt]

i don't plan to continue the exp save though, i have a main one. Sitting around it is. only other milestone i have left is the auto fish catchers, and nearly done with that. after that, exp done.

[half olive]

ggs 👍

This was fun

[dry escarp]

are those items (all awarded from milestones) are unique to this expedition and you can't get them normally?

[north crypt]

i finally got a storm, burned through thirteen of my storm baits and got zero storm fish. fml

[north crypt]

They're just variants of regular procedural loot

[dry escarp]

so those are unique to this expedition?

[north crypt]

no

[indigo falcon]

no they are random generated terrifying samples available in the base game
