nms-expedition

[wraith junco]

Thats cool tip.

[sleek siren]

Im not sure on specifics yet myself.
stew does give good bonus though.
check also > #nms-expedition message

[bleak kelp]

so Aquarius is going to be my first expedition. is my exo suit going to lose all the upgrades that I put in it once I go in? otherwise, what are the technology slots at the expedition terminal for?

[open barn]

You basically start from zero, but is only on the expedition, you can go back normal whenever you want and switch between

[bleak kelp]

I see

so obviously, for Aquarius, I would want to bring with me the fishing rig and the skiff at the very least

along with some bait, I guess

[wraith junco]

No need. Game will give it to you as task rewards

[bleak kelp]

ah

oops, I already got the plans outside the expedition

oh well

not like they cost much

[shrewd onyx]

Worth bringing back at least the bait from the expedition. (Remember that if you don't use the “end expedition” button at the terminal but save instead after filling the slots, you get to transfer as much as you like. Unless they've changed that.)

[bleak kelp]

thankfully I was already farming lubricant and I had a bunch of amino chambers and ion batteries from doing various missions and trading with starship pilots. so I could make a full stack of bionic lures

[wraith junco]

U can take basic stuff like warp fuel, or batteries for enviroment protection. U can pick up stuff from anomaly when u get there.

[sullen monolith]

My game tells me I can't summon the Exo-Skiff cause it's damaged, how do I fix it?

[wraith junco]

Check you inventory where u installed it.

[bleak kelp]

yeah, I'd imagine you repair it the same way you repair any exo suit module

[sullen monolith]

I don't know how to do that

[bleak kelp]

Go to the exosuit tab in your inventory

find the slot that you installed the skiff in

and select it

it should then show you what you need to get in order to repair it

[shrewd onyx]

Bug reported re. adding more of the same kind of bait (can select the bait but can't do the final step; can only cancel).

[junior shard]

doesn't work for me if I try it

[sullen monolith]

Thanks

[bleak kelp]

No prob, have fun!

[shut pasture]

Noticed this in the latest patch notes: Adjusted the catch rates for certain mission-specific fishing items.

[junior shard]

huh I never saw these underwater

[patent sage]

Anyone know why one phase 3 "Ice cold" isnt registering fish ive caught? im on the ice planet that the 3rd spot is on.

[cold tulip]

Its not for any fish, just the exclusive to cold biomes afaik

[shut pasture]

They have to be uncommon fish that only spawn in cold

Description will look like this

[patent sage]

does the auto rig not count?

[shut pasture]

The traps do not count for catching milestones

Only the 13 trapped one

[patent sage]

well,,, that sucks because i caught some nice fish

in the traps i mean

[shut pasture]

I recommended using +rarity bait, either prepared meat or cook any two fish then combine those two cooked fish for seafood stew

Release them for nanites if you've already done the 500,000u sold milestone

[lyric roost]

How long does it take for an autotrap to catch fish

[shut pasture]

About an hour per fish I think?

[lyric roost]

Damn. How can I speed it up?

Build 13 of em?

[indigo falcon]

less, but I need to time it. if you leave it overnight it will have 2 to 4 in each slot

[patent sage]

you can only have 3 per planet

so i guess if you have multiple fishing bases you could make 13 of the traps

[shut pasture]

Yes they were a bit cheeky with the task needing 13 fish and only 3 traps per planet. I just set them up on 2 planets and logged off for the night as noted above

They're a great source of nanites if you have any bases near water though

[junior shard]

damn I wait a half hour for a storm to begin

a storm begins and game crashes

first expeditoin crash 😦

[patent sage]

there's your problem, this isnt the 1st expedition its the 15th

[junior shard]

[patent sage]

lol

[hoary harbor]

Why do the uncommon fish i catch not count?!? I gotta catch 5 but im stuck on 1 while i definitely caught more than 5 on this frozen planet

[faint mesa]

There are regular uncommon fishes and some that are specific to the environment, only the latter will count

[lyric roost]

They need to be biome specific uncommons

Equip mealworm bait

[blazing fossil]

Back to the Angler and Storm grind

[lyric roost]

I found a workaround! If you place a base part over the surface, you can wire glitch extra traps

[blazing fossil]

GoPro?

Image doesn’t send, damn

Oh it did

I GOT THE FRICKIN ANGLER

Now I just need 3 storm fish and I’m done

[junior shard]

does reloading work until a storm appears? 😛

[shut pasture]

@lyric roost Oh yeah I saw some people were wire glitching on the first day. That's an option

[junior shard]

2/3 atm

[lyric roost]

Nope

Doesn't work that way

[blazing fossil]

I’m going to a different planet though, this thing has horrible storms

[lusty slate]

So this is an RNG expedition
Noted. I'm starting it tonight after work

[blazing fossil]

Very much so

[shut pasture]

Yes heavy rng but you can boost your odds

[faint mesa]

A thrill for speedrunners

[shut pasture]

Also from the patch notes it sounds like they're rebalancing a bit so maybe wait until you get 5.11

[blazing fossil]

That’s gonna be 2 weeks because of switch

[lusty slate]

I'm bringing processed meat over as I have a crazy surplus of animal carcass on main.

[blazing fossil]

Do like 3 or 4 stacks if you have

[shut pasture]

You can still finish it very fast, I wasted a lot of time and did it in under 12 hours. 6 is achievable, probably less than 4 if you start from an existing save

[shut pasture]

Then switch players should start making a lot of processed meat and fish stew 😂

[lusty slate]

At least there's a use for animal meat now other than cooking.

[acoustic berry]

Are there planet types with more frequent storms? Just need my last storm fish

[shut pasture]

@acoustic berry anything with activated metal

[blazing fossil]

151K degrees is really cold

[shut pasture]

If you cook any two fish together the Assorted Roe attracts stormy fish

[solid copper]

He wanted to be free, but now he'll be stuck in my inventory, till the end of ||ATLAS||

[indigo falcon]

awwww (I did the same thing, heh)

[faint mesa]

Same... lol.

I'll find a nice aquarium though ||for the poor guy||.

[indigo falcon]

well the problem is...

I was all excited by seeing the reward of small squarium blueprints, thought it might be for displaying the fishies. nope, it's the one that's already in maybe the qs shop, very nice but you can't put things in it.

[solid copper]

well there is no 3d model for any of the new fishes, the only thing you see is the generic fish model when you fish them up

[pliant skiff]

yeah, an aquarium we could display our catches in would be v nice

i released the ||angler though, felt bad for the poor guy||. and i have the little wobbly octopus to remember him by

[blazing fossil]

I’ve built a fishing shack, now I just need a storm

I’m on a frozen activated indium planet

[shut pasture]

I cooked him, then regetted it and reloaded

[blazing fossil]

There we go, incoming storm

[shut pasture]

Just kidding I didn't regret it I wanted to see what the bait did

[junior shard]

huh cool

[plush onyx]

Hey guys, how's the expedition? I haven't played it yet

[shut pasture]

Nice

[plush onyx]

better or worse than the last?

[blazing fossil]

RNG heavy

[shut pasture]

It's a very chill exped if you let it be

[plush onyx]

I fucking love gambling

[faint mesa]

LOL. That's cold.

[junior shard]

huh b2b legendary

[indigo falcon]

depends what you like, I love the chillax vibe

[lyric roost]

does this count for the legendary fish milestone

[blazing fossil]

Can I sit inside a building and still have a chance at storm fish?

[junior shard]

yes

[shut pasture]

It was actually very hot... because I was cooking...

[solid copper]

Idk, i fished 2 legendary fishes before reaching this quest

[plush onyx]

so it's the kinda expedition that works best with a podcast huh

[blazing fossil]

Anyone know?

[shut pasture]

@plush onyx there is a lot of fishing

[faint mesa]

Probably doesn't matter, as long as there's a storm you should be good

[junior shard]

wow this one is cool

[plush onyx]

I love fish

Can you cook?

[shut pasture]

Hot planets have some cool fish (isn't that ironic, don'tcha think)

[shut pasture]

YES

[plush onyx]

the PUN

[shut pasture]

Lots of cooking

[plush onyx]

say less i'm hopping on too in a bit, gotta become the best fisher

what's the command to see how long the expedition lasts?

[blazing fossil]

Still no storm fish

Time to wait for the next storm

[shut pasture]

!exptime

[unkempt kraken]

[plush onyx]

oh that's enough time alright

[junior shard]

the rig reward and other things given outside milestones also go back to main save right

[plush onyx]

i'mma make myself some nice fishing stuff

[junior shard]

Yeah about two days here

[plush onyx]

wdym

[junior shard]

you asked if that was enough time, confirming by that it took me two days ish

[shut pasture]

They're recipes you can buy in the anomaly

[plush onyx]

oh sorry i'm tired

[junior shard]

ok nice

I'll transfer the angler back 😛

[shut pasture]

Yeah I'm wondering if the angler is catchable outside the exped

If you use a new save, you still have all of the fish you caught listed in the catalog but they're greyed out until you catch them again

[indigo falcon]

I expect that the angler is an expd special item

[shut pasture]

Angler doesn't appear to be in the list

[blazing fossil]

I’m just gonna watch YouTube while I wait for the next storm

[shut pasture]

I don't like that the planet info goes away and then we don't see our fishing depth

[blazing fossil]

Same

[junior shard]

thanks for all the help

[blazing fossil]

STORM

[boreal violet]

For 'scales of fire' can you be anywhere on planet Cayett Major for it to work?

[blazing fossil]

Yes

I GOT A LEGENDARY FISH BEFORE A SINGLE STORM FISH

THIS IS BULLSHIT

I ONLY HAVE 24% RARITY INCREASE

[tepid pier]

How deep does the water need to be before I can catch an “enormous” or bigger fish?

[blazing fossil]

You can catch them anywhere I believe but higher chances at 50u or more

[tepid pier]

Thanks

[faint mesa]

Are you using that specific bait for storm fish?

I felt it helped.

[blazing fossil]

I’m using the row bait

Not MagPulse tho

[faint mesa]

Hmm... if you can, craft that one

I'm not sure the stats are that precise on "unnoficial" baits

[patent sage]

PHASE 3 ✅

[blazing fossil]

I will

[indigo falcon]

I got 4 legendaries with no bait at all... it's the game rng

[blazing fossil]

I now have 500 MagPulses

[shut pasture]

Damb

[junior shard]

The Angler has been sent back to main save 😄

[blazing fossil]

I had 20 then a few refiners later I had 500

[faint mesa]

lol. That was overkill.

I made some 50 and already felt bad about it

(Only used 3 I think)

[blazing fossil]

Bob just came out of the ground right next to me and I’m now scared af

[blazing fossil]

You caught 3 storm fish with 3 lures?

[faint mesa]

Nope, I already had a couple when I decided to use the bait

[blazing fossil]

Oh…lucky

I haven’t caught a single one in almost 50 tries

[faint mesa]

I just wanted to clear the milestone 😅

[patent sage]

how can i tell if a planet has high temperature fish?

[faint mesa]

Active the expedition milestone, it will inform you

(If you don't need to find it for yourself, see pinned messages)

[blazing fossil]

And another storm

Time to start fishing again

[faint mesa]

It will happen now, I can feel it

Good luck!

[indigo falcon]

scorched world. in the pins there is a list of 'where do I find' incl that

[blazing fossil]

This is the fifth storm on just this planet and I still have no storm fish

[faint mesa]

The bait hopefully will help

[blazing fossil]

Nothing…one more storm then I’m switching planets

[faint mesa]

That was... kinda of a short storm.
I finished the milestone on the last rendezvous planet, storms there seemed decent

[blazing fossil]

Not for me…storms there were even shorter than here

It’s fishing time again

[remote dragon]

I canceled whenever I got inventory slots as a reward.

[blazing fossil]

Is it a problem that I’m fishing at the shore?

[indigo falcon]

no. that's just fine

[blazing fossil]

I’m starting to believe this planet just doesn’t have storm fish

[wooden onyx]

I actually got it on another planet in another system. try and see. I promise you ll be surprised. record it too, becasue i didnt. just prepare.

explore and fish, and you shall find the Angler ||he was an octopus all along, jk||

[blazing fossil]

I keep getting Frozen fucking Whelk

And Pondskippers

[wooden onyx]

lol I share your conscience, but i can easily excuse myself for refiner-duping slvaged tech in expe mode

[shut pasture]

Yeah I'm currently at 70u deep using bait and getting straight trash

[blazing fossil]

And storms gone

I’m swapping planets

This is so dumb

[tranquil oar]

You can use the terrain manipulator to make it deeper, I made it 100u deep and got it

[blazing fossil]

I’m at a solid 70-80 fish in storms with storm bait and no fish

[shut pasture]

Oh i already finished the expedition

I tried digging but it was kind of a pain

[blazing fossil]

I’ve got a good feeling about this planet…the water is literally boiling…or it’s a bubble planet, can’t quite tell

[wooden onyx]

can i ask if you remember what is converted to units and nanites after you pressed 'end-expedition'? amount of fish caught? amount of fish released? smtg like that?

[shut pasture]

I started a new save

[analog relic]

Finally managed to snag the last milestone I needed, finished up and as I thought the new chest and leg pieces look pretty good with the armor set.

While not my favorite Expedition by a long shot, it was still enjoyable.

[wooden onyx]

copy-paste but same ques: can i ask if you remember what is converted to units and nanites after you pressed 'end-expedition'? amount of fish caught? amount of fish released? smtg like that?

[wooden onyx]

I see

[indigo falcon]

FAQ for expedition Aquarius

How do I do "The one that..."?
Fish at any body of water without bait. Eventually you'll get a boot or something for the milestone.

I'm catching uncommon fish in X biome and it's not counting for the milestone.
You need uncommon fish active only in that biome.

How can I get more rare or uncommon fish?
Processed meat gives a +40% chance of getting a more rare fish; make it from meaty chunks.

How long does it take for the automated traps to fill?
5 minsutes for 1-2 fish, several hours to fill up to 25 fish or so per trap. They also fill when you are not in the game.

Do uncommon fish caught in the traps count for milestones?
No.

Why does my regular save only have 10 slots for cold storage and the expedition has lots?
Good question. Let's treat it as a bug, please report it to Hello Games.

What do I do with all these extra fish? I already sold over 500k units worth.
Release them into the water for free nanites.

What can I use for bait?
Any food item, including creature pellets.

If I use a bait that is for nocturnal or storm fish, can I use it during other conditions and still get the fish?
No, you need to have the right environmental conditions first to get the fish.

Do I need the crystal sulphide/glass/living pearls I get during the expedition?
Yes, you'll need to make an underwater base and you'll need some of each for that.

Do I need the terrifying samples I got as rewards?
Nope, feel free to sell.

It's taken an hour and I still don't have the fish for the milestone I want. Now what? Am I doing something wrong?
Probably not. NMS rng can be rough. Take breaks when you need to. This is meant to be a relaxing fishing getaway; when it stops being relaxing, put down the fishing rod and come back to it later.

Is there any difference in stats between the fishing rig you get in phase one and the one you get as a reward much later?
No, it's just a cosmetic difference.

[analog relic]

I haven't actually ended the Expedition yet, I tend to keep em around to farm extra Quicksilver!

[wooden onyx]

ah yes that makes sense

[blazing fossil]

Ooo, first storm on new planet

I NEVER WANT TO SEE A ROCKFIN AGAIN

THEYRE EVERYWHERE

[shut pasture]

Lol

[blazing fossil]

At least it’s not a Frozen Whelk

[indigo falcon]

those fish that are common in all biomes? surprisingly, they are common... in all biomes 😛

just turn 'em into nanites

[remote dragon]

Planets with activated metal, star bulb, and parafinnium have storms more often

[blazing fossil]

Nope, I’m gonna eat every single one

[heavy perch]

The expedition doesn't give any good stuff? Would be cool if it'll gave a multi-tool that looked like a high tech fishing rod

[indigo falcon]

it gives you an alternate fishing rod to install (cosmetic)

plus wearables. no fishing hat thouogh AHHH that's what I forgot to do

fires up the game one more time

[remote dragon]

If you don’t use any of the inventory upgrades you can transfer 16 of them to your main save.

[blazing fossil]

I GOT ONE

I FUCKING GOT ONE

only 2 more left

[heavy perch]

Would be cool if you could put a fishing hat on your pets

Would be cool if you could put a hat on your pet sentry bot

[solid copper]

would be cool if the skiff didn't yeet you onto the ocean once every 5 minutes

[blazing fossil]

The first storm on the new planet is over, it’s immediately better than the 7 previous storms on the old planet

[tranquil oar]

Is the community research part of the expedition or can I end it now and work on it on my main save?

[blazing fossil]

!hg

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

[gaunt fern]

this is my biggest complaint with it. why use it if it can't handle waves

[blazing fossil]

But yes…we need more things to do with laylaps

[gaunt fern]

I just fish from my ship

[indigo falcon]

it's supposed to be able to. Improved the accuracy of the fishing float in rough seas. <-- latest steam patch

[gaunt fern]

Kelp farming would have been good addition 🙂

[analog relic]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You can do it, be free from the storm fish limbo!

[indigo falcon]

yes there REALLY IS a decal of a gek in a fishing hat and I wnat that hat in the game soooo badly

on the skiff I mean!

[remote pond]

I am struggling to trigger the 4th fishing location. Any one have tips for that?

[blazing fossil]

Another storm coming

[solid copper]

oh new patch, haven't updated my game yet 😅

[heavy perch]

I just posted the suggestion for fishing hat plus hat on pet sentry. Said it would be cool if the sentry would say stuff depending on what hat you put on it like "weeee fishing time"

[indigo falcon]

are you able to get to the rendezvous point ok?

[patent sage]

i had to walk inside the building

[remote pond]

yeah, and i landed on the spot, but it doesnt trigger

[indigo falcon]

did you try going in the building?

(might as well, it's a few free nanites annyways)

[remote pond]

ahh guess that is the problem, not seeing a building here, the location is in the water

[indigo falcon]

uh the actual thing is an abandoned building, you must be a bit away

check with the location scanner once you're out of the ship

[blazing fossil]

That’s 1/10th of my MagPulses

I had 500…I now have 450 and I only have one storm fish

[indigo falcon]

I used around 20 of my 138

got off easy, it seems

[blazing fossil]

And I’ve used Assorted Roe before too, unsure how much

[lyric roost]

Wow I am unlucky trying to find the 5th bottle

Did I mess up by leaving the actual site to do the heavy fish milestone?

[gaunt fern]

ooo fish and rice is a good bait

[lament knot]

Anyone know how to get legendary fish?

[lyric roost]

Oh I got it nvm

[indigo falcon]

there's a bait that helps #nms-expedition message

also "bionic lure" is supposed to help for legendary catches

[lament knot]

I use bionic lure but not get one 😭

[lyric roost]

It's up to chance

[lament knot]

Must reach Stage 5?

[indigo falcon]

no, you can catch legendary fish at any time

[lament knot]

Okay ty guys

[gaunt fern]

Any bait that increases chance of rarity will help

[tranquil oar]

Fish stew or whatever its called increases by 50%

[blazing fossil]

Another storm

[lament knot]

I use bionic lure 64%

[blazing fossil]

I’m looking for blue ribbontails

[lament knot]

Yeah i get 1

Finally Dragon tail S rank

[blazing fossil]

Nothing…time to wait again

[indigo falcon]

this is your last milestone I guess?

[lyric roost]

Hello!

[gaunt fern]

kelp rice + any fish (already processed or not) = rish and rice

[blazing fossil]

Another storm, that was a short wait

[lyric rampart]

Stuck on the "in hot water" milestone using the spicy chum bait it just runs out in an instant the second i add it to the the rig its gone

[blazing fossil]

Yep

[quick stag]

Fun expedition this time round ngl

[indigo falcon]

not feeling like fishing for nanites while you wait?

[blazing fossil]

Nope, Id rather watch YouTube

[indigo falcon]

ok fair enough

[tranquil oar]

Anything I should do before ending the expedition?

[blazing fossil]

Release or sell all your fish for nanites/units

[tranquil oar]

I turned them into stew lol

[upbeat torrent]

only today, after several hundred hours, did i find out i can mine the resource nodes with the mining tool, instead of the terraformer :<

[blazing fossil]

Then eat it

[indigo falcon]

you should not be able to mine resource deposits with the mining beam, that's a bug

[upbeat torrent]

with the minotaur too?

[indigo falcon]

oh, dunno about the minotaur. um it has a Minotaur Bore attachment you are supposed to have installed

[tranquil oar]

The minotaur has its own terraformer maybe you used that one

[lyric roost]

Another legendary

[upbeat torrent]

it works with both the bore and the terraformer on the minotaur

[primal arch]

What elements do we need for fishing? I have to make like 7 jumps to get to my first spot so I was curious if I could mine some elements along the way since I’ll explore anyway lol

[tranquil oar]

salt

[indigo falcon]

which you can buy at the space station so maybe just think about units

[blazing fossil]

Nothing this time either

[remote pond]

Getting ready to build an underwater base for the quest. I am a newb and have not built any base before. Do I just drop the prefab chamber down in the water, or do I have to work my way down with tubes?

[blazing fossil]

You can just drop it

[quick stag]

FYI Fish Pie bait will get your storm weather only fishies.

[remote pond]

perfect thanks

[wraith junco]

Can i get bottle messages also in normal mode?

[indigo falcon]

yes, just not angler ones.

[lyric roost]

3 legendaries

[blazing fossil]

I’ll use my only fish pie for hen I’m switching back to MagPulses

[primal arch]

Oh yeah I saw it ahead so I’ve been grinding that. I’m guessing it’s used for bait?

[blazing fossil]

Nothing this time either

[tranquil oar]

you build automated fish traps with it

[quick stag]

You can make it. Salty Fingers and Pastry

[tranquil oar]

Maybe try another planet?

[indigo falcon]

you get given some salt from a couple milestones too

[blazing fossil]

This is technically the third planet I’ve tried on…this is the only one I’ve gotten a storm fish on

And I’ve been here way shorter than any of the others

[quick stag]

Murder fish for Salty Fingers and milk animals for the Milk, oh and wheat

[blazing fossil]

another one

[indigo falcon]

I think I fished all mine up on r5 planet, it really doesn't matter. the game's rng will smile upon you, or not

[blazing fossil]

The wait between storms here is also shorter

[lyric roost]

How fast did yall get your anglers

[blazing fossil]

Storm that is, not fish

[indigo falcon]

hm < 15 minutes for the angler for me

[lyric roost]

4th
Legendary

But no angler

[indigo falcon]

taking my congrat emoji back then

[blazing fossil]

75 MagPulses! (Plus a shit load of Roe too)
Only one stormfish

[indigo falcon]

oof....

[blazing fossil]

I think I used close to 50 roe before changing to mag pulses

[lyric roost]

5th

[blazing fossil]

Let’s suffer together

[quick stag]

Child of Atlas, I hope you release all those legendaries.

[blazing fossil]

ANOTHER FISH

ONE MORE

[lyric roost]

Moo turtle!

Moon*

[fierce viper]

I ran out of ship fuel lmao

[blazing fossil]

Storm over

[lyric roost]

Atlas I beg for forgiveness, Void mother I beg for forgiveness

[solemn bane]

I'm glad this existed
https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/giant-tortoise-baby-cow-friendship-fb2.png

[lyric roost]

6th

[blazing fossil]

It’s now been almost 4 hours and I’m only 2/3rds done with the storm fish…

Every storm I’ve seen for the last four hours have been purely trying to get storm fish with storm bait

[lyric roost]

You're in a extreme storm planet right?

[blazing fossil]

Yes

[lyric roost]

Good god

[blazing fossil]

All 3 planets I’ve been on have been

This is honestly the tamest one so far

It doesn’t even take anything out of my hazard protection during the storms

[indigo falcon]

really? is it an anomalous lush or something?

[blazing fossil]

It says harsh toxic winds

[indigo falcon]

(you can build a shelter and fish from under it, you'll be safe from all but tornados that way)

[blazing fossil]

But it doesnt use any tox protection

[indigo falcon]

(and yes you can catch storm fish from inside the shelter)

[blazing fossil]

Nah, I’ve been in the same spot since I came here

Another storm coming

[indigo falcon]

does the world have bubbles?

[blazing fossil]

Yes

Not the grav anomaly purple ones tho

[indigo falcon]

ah! so yeah you won't get storm damage then or weather damage.

anomalous planet

[blazing fossil]

Oh nice

5.0 tox and no dmg

I GOT THE LAST ONE

IM FUCKING DONE

[indigo falcon]

yeah those are equivalent to paradise planets as far as weather

[desert dome]

Does anyone know if the barnacle and small aquarium rewards from milestone 4 are supposed to carry over to you normal save after expedition? I finished and can't claim them, buy them, or have them. Was hoping they'd unlock for me. I was able to build them during the expedition

[blazing fossil]

As soon as Wind of Change started playing

[indigo falcon]

unless they are end phase rewards, no. I think those are both available as regular qs items though

[blazing fossil]

Now to eat over a hundred fish

[burnt hull]

@blazing fossil I found a cloudy planet and the storms were great got my last one there

[blazing fossil]

Actually no, I’m gonna release them

[desert dome]

Ok, thank you. Bummer. I was hoping... guess I'll have to buy then with QS

[burnt hull]

We can buy them with qs though?

[indigo falcon]

if you had built any of them on bases in the expd, you would keep those bases though with those items placed, back on th emain save.

[blazing fossil]

Why the hell does it close the menu every time you release a fish

[noble cobalt]

I know it sucks right

[indigo falcon]

I've gotten very good at spamming the inv / release button sequence

[desert dome]

Definitely release them for nanites. Quick tip: put them in the top right 4 corner spots of your inventory. So much easier. They really need to change where the inv screen doesn't close after you release

[burnt hull]

I'd love it if there was a mouse over tip that would show what the baits do rather than have to hook it then try another and another to find out

[blazing fossil]

I have way more fish than what fits in the corner spots

[indigo falcon]

please for the love of fishing submit these awesome suggestions to hellogames

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[blazing fossil]

I have over a hundred

I’m gonna count the fish

[desert dome]

Haha. I just meant move them there so it's easier. Then after those are done, move more there. I released a few hundred last night

[shrewd onyx]

You're not the only one. (I've already suggested that via hg.zendesk.)

[elder falcon]

Is it possible to get legendary fish without the 3 lubricant bait? It takes soooo long to craft 1

[indigo falcon]

because I never checked the cold storage in the expd (since in main save it was only 10 slots), I never collected hundreds of fish but kept selling/releasing small batches

[indigo falcon]

yes it is, I used no bait and got them all

[burnt hull]

I got legendarys with regular bait

Salty platter is really good bait

[elder falcon]

Regular bait being what? Theres so many bait options I dont even know what to do

[indigo falcon]

check the pins, there's one with a bunch of baits and their stats

[burnt hull]

Best and easiest one I found is to use the food replicator and put 3 green fish in make salty platters

[shy stirrup]

really anything that improves rarity chance

[burnt hull]

you can also turn other fish into food and they make great bait too

[gaunt fern]

fish and rice super easy. good bonuses and storm attracting

[indigo falcon]

good thing I'm eating dinner right now, all this food talk is making me hungry

[blazing fossil]

126 FISH

I just released 126 fish individually

I never want to come back

[indigo falcon]

how many nanites did you get tho

[blazing fossil]

I never want to fish again

[blazing fossil]

13.5k

[indigo falcon]

niiiiiiice

[lyric roost]

HOW MANY MORE FISH AM I GOING TO REEL IN

[blazing fossil]

Swapping back to the cursed mt and copying it to main

[blazing fossil]

How long have you been trying?

[candid fossil]

Any tips for catching these storm fish? I've used 300 bait and only caught one

[lyric roost]

It will soon be an hour

[blazing fossil]

Pfft

Rookie numbers

[burnt hull]

Find cloudy planets they have lots of storms

[blazing fossil]

Make sure you’re using storm bait and only actually fishing during storms

Other than that there’s not really anything else to do

[blazing fossil]

I’m sorry what

[burnt hull]

I found a planet that was classified as cloudy, it has super storms that lasted longer and it was easier to catch the fish

[candid fossil]

Im doing all that so just some bad rng then? I've just found a planet with boiling monsoons so gonna give this one a go and see what happens

[blazing fossil]

That doesn’t mean all cloudy planets have those storms lol

[fickle night]

I already did this for hours, not even a single 1 storm fish

[blazing fossil]

Yup just had rng

I went 2 hours without one, took 4 hours to get all three

[burnt hull]

I'm not saying they all do I just figured it was a greater chance of it

[fickle night]

Wish the storm on rendezvous planet are more often

waiting for storm to come took so longg xD

[candid fossil]

I've spent more time on this one task than the rest of the expedition lol just got one on this planet so hopefully another drops soon

[blazing fossil]

The only thing that really makes storms way more likely is planets with Activated materials

[burnt hull]

Cool, I did not know that Thanks

[indigo falcon]

and even then, you might have extreme storms every couple minutes or once or twice per day-night cycle

[blazing fossil]

Ending expedition now

15k total nanites earned, 73 mil units

[indigo falcon]

73 million? impressive

[blazing fossil]

I didn’t check how long it took total and honestly I don’t wanna know

[quaint goblet]

Where can one find a scorched planet

[blazing fossil]

Probably the hundreds of Roe and MagPulses I had

[indigo falcon]

Rendezvous 2 planet (Odeg in the system Syasthe). (see pins on 'where do I find..')

[muted granite]

Fishing seems like approaching a sort of meta for nanites? Definitely a fun way of getting them…

[indigo falcon]

I definitely like the catch-and-release mechanic as it is, hope they don't nerf it.

[quaint goblet]

@indigo falcon ty

[blazing fossil]

This is such a cursed Multitool lol…I love it

[lyric roost]

GO AWAY

[wintry void]

C class with 4 slots?

[indigo falcon]

just imagine those tasty tasty nanites

[wraith junco]

Just expedition things

Mt copies the sc layout of main save mt.

[lyric roost]

ONE STORM FISH GOT

[wraith junco]

It wont get more sc slots if u upgrade class

[lyric roost]

Two??

[jovial adder]

Help. Where are the best storms? Dx

I need stormmmsssssss

[oak galleon]

Anyone remembers the name of the system that is in the way of the angler that has a hot planet on it?

[gaunt fern]

there are many hot planets, but the one you are looking for is Pinned. I think its Site 2

[vivid stream]

just done

[lyric roost]

How long did it take you to get the angler

[vivid stream]

4:46

4 hours 46 mins

it's bit tricky, took me few mins

[oak galleon]

Thanks!!

[solid copper]

surely this will work, right

[lusty slate]

Question before I start, can I take the rarer fish from the expedition back with me? Will it let you?

[blazing fossil]

I spent 4 hours on just storm fish and one hour on angler

You’re lucky

[blazing fossil]

Yes

At least the angler

[ashen shore]

I forgot the utter enjoyment of starting an expedition so early. I've been on the starter system for an hour just mining stuff

[oak galleon]

I got angler 5 min after reading the last bottle

[blazing fossil]

Why was everyone so lucky?

[vivid stream]

for storm fish? you need a bait that requires at least 1 magnetic resonator, 1 metal plating and 90 tritium

[lusty slate]

Cool. If I can use the exped to help fill the catalog on main, that'd be great.

[ashen shore]

"Never talk to me and my sons again"

[blazing fossil]

You don’t need it, it helps. There’s multiple recipes with cooking fish that works too

[vivid stream]

oh i already done bit fast

[blazing fossil]

#nms-expedition message

[gaunt fern]

thats one type of storm bait.

[ashen shore]

What the heck is this recipe? Tritium? You mean that stuff that powers the starships pulse engine? LMAO

[gaunt fern]

I was going to cook it

[vivid stream]

actually that's for making magpulse lure

[oak galleon]

Also quick question is this worth something?

[lusty slate]

Underwater ruins.

[oak galleon]

Ahh but everyone already openend the chests

[vivid stream]

not me

[gaunt fern]

the ones at site 5?

[oak galleon]

And with the angler and the bottles? Just throw them?

[jagged sedge]

Why is my 'lazy fisherman' quest not working ??

[gaunt fern]

did you put down traps?

[oak galleon]

meowerss

[jagged sedge]

I have deployed 2, and caught like 9 fishies already

[gaunt fern]

need 13 in total

[jagged sedge]

13 traps?

[ashen shore]

THE MAGIC CONCH SHELL

[gaunt fern]

13 fish. select it in the exp thing. it'll count down for ya

[ashen shore]

Huh why not

[gentle spade]

Steam cloud sync error, lost all expedition progress I made over the last 4 hours 😦

[jagged sedge]

But it still says I need to build and deploy

[oak galleon]

Last question guyss are we suposed to get cool ship and tool or we just migrate the shitty we get at the beggining?

[gaunt fern]

no count?

[ashen shore]

So does this mean we get a new exo craft?

[vivid stream]

because it's the quickest way to get storm fish

[jagged sedge]

I have built and deployed 2, neither have been detected?

[vivid stream]

instead of rng without specific baits for several hours

[ashen shore]

Tricky question, but will this only catch those specific fish DURING a storm or just whenever?

[vivid stream]

during storm ofc

but with that magpulse lure, that'll be quick enough to catch those

[dark ice]

Hey did anyone find a scorched planet to fish on?

[gaunt fern]

there are many, one is even a site that you went to already

you could set your mission guide to point to phosphoros too

[ashen shore]

You can fish outside of a door to hide from storms
Prefabs finally have a use

[vivid stream]

R3 system has one

[real thorn]

For my first expedition, this was a lot of fun! (I missed the other ones because I was... uhm... too scared to try them, even though I've been playing since 2019)

[lyric roost]

So true

When I find this son of a bitch I'm frying him

[real thorn]

It took me about 18 tries luckily. But I did grind out for some legendary bait first

[oak galleon]

I realeased him

He wants to be free, I want to be free

[gaunt fern]

you should get a 1 hour timer on them too when deployed.

[oak galleon]

Don't you guys?

[real thorn]

I'm gonna let him rot on the save I'll never play again

[vivid stream]

after expeditions, i just left it alone and continue enjoying my main save which is survival mode one

[jagged sedge]

Hey, it just rewarded me for 13 fish, looks like it was counting even tho it hadn't notified me -- thanks for helping tho

[oak galleon]

Im doing the same sadly i came back to NMS on last one, i missed so much without knowing how good this game was

[candid fossil]

FINALLY got the last storm fish and expedition is complete. It was fun except for the storm fish part

[vivid stream]

i only enjoy mostly expeditions, but i did checked up main save and worlds I is most impactful for me due to water mechanics that impressed me a lot since september 2023, but i started to grind expeditions since Blighted non-stop

[shrewd onyx]

Leave them for a while. Check on them. Leave them overnight. Check them tomorrow. You might catch something unusual…🐙

[jagged sedge]

btw, I didn't get a timer, they just caught all 13 fish in like 10 minutes

[dark ice]

Lmao i just found one but thank you

[vivid stream]

2022: Blighted, Leviathan, Polestar
2023: Utopia, Singularity, Voyagers
2024: Omega, Adrift, Liquidators, Aquarius

[hoary harbor]

What gives the most size boost? I got molusc flesh with 28%

[lyric roost]

I got it

Finally

It is not the only one who is free now

[lyric rampart]

For the Fins of Thunder milestone can i use the lost anglers rig or the bulk standard fishing rig?

[blazing fossil]

Doesn’t matter

The only difference between them is cosmetic

[lyric rampart]

Fair enough thanks

[gaunt fern]

Fish and Rice is 54%

[blazing fossil]

I dont know if I would consider this one or voyager the most tedious expedition I’ve done…in voyager you at least did different things, this was just hours and hours of doing the same thing…but at the same time this one was kinda fun while voyager just felt like tedium for the sake of tedium

[hoary harbor]

How to get?

[gaunt fern]

make kelp rice from kelp, then combine with any fish processed or not

[blazing fossil]

Fish the fishes and kelp the rice

[hoary harbor]

Ty

[lyric roost]

4h:32 min

Done

[blazing fossil]

Rookie numbers

Mine was well over 6 probably even over 8 hours

Most of which was spent looking for storm fish

[lyric roost]

You had REALLY bad luck with the storm fish

I got them quickly

[vivid stream]

i'm just 14 mins slower than yours

[mortal crane]

And here I am, waiting for the 5th storm of the planet I am in

[ashen shore]

I just put a red drive on my ship and went to a red star for the storm fish

[blazing fossil]

Four hours spent on storm fish, about one hour I was looking for the Angler alongside it

[vivid stream]

4h46m

[blazing fossil]

I was in blue systems for 3/4 hours i was looking for storm fish…I averaged less than one an hour and got all 3 in the last 2 hours

[hoary harbor]

Ill definitely be using some fish pie as bait during a storm

[jagged sedge]

Cool - the auto fish traps can catch legendaries

[gaunt fern]

yes, but they don't count toward the quest

[blazing fossil]

I got incredibly screwed over by rng

[royal ginkgo]

Which plants are best for bait?

[elder falcon]

The storm fish can be from any planetary storm, or does it have to be lightning storm related?

[shadow pivot]

Any storm. What about it made you think it had to be lightning? Just curious

[elder falcon]

Idk, storm is related to lightning irl so idk

[shadow pivot]

Yeah afaik it's any storm

[blazing fossil]

Any storm

[elder falcon]

Can I catch them whenever with the special bait or do I have to wait for a storm for the bait to be effective?

[blazing fossil]

Has to be a storm

0% * x is still 0%

[elder falcon]

Oh cool time to afk for a cool decade until the storm shows up

[shut pasture]

Has to say "storm" down by your life support

[boreal violet]

Literally set game to auto catch with vibration off while watching tv & casting away with mission log selected & correct planet but nothing.... (scales of fire)

[shadow pivot]

Also I believe yesterday we were able to figure out that you can be in shelter during a storm and still catch storm fish

[gaunt fern]

just need that wiggle on your line that shows storm right?

[blazing fossil]

Correct

[rose veldt]

Auto catch?
So it's a thing?

[solid copper]

😄

[lime plume]

Is using lower rarity fish as bait a good idea?

[shut pasture]

If you're going to do that you're better off cooking them

[lime plume]

Why I asked first, lol. Thanks.

[swift belfry]

Bait that says "lures nocturnal fish"... does that mean you can get a nocturnal fish during the day using that bait? Or does it mean that it only works at night?

[terse dust]

I can't believe putting my grill on the skiff works

[shut pasture]

And the worse cooked fish, like mollusc flesh, grilled tentacle, etc. are better off combined with each other into seafood stew for +51% rarity

[lime plume]

Only works at night.

[candid fossil]

Was worth doing that weekend quest for quicksilver before ending expedition

[rose veldt]

Hmm interesting

[real thorn]

Wait so standard is second hardest? Tbh, it's way easier than any other fishing minigame I played. Like the one from Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. Heck even minecraft is a little harder.

[boreal violet]

If you buy stuff with quicksilver then quickly reload you still unlock the items & get your quicksilver back (some may say cheating)
...on main save after expedition I should have said sorry

[shadow pivot]

tbf i dont think anything in NMS was designed to be too skill based or difficult.

[rose veldt]

@boreal violet you can do that only in normal save, not expedition

[remote thunder]

relax, kick back, enjoy yourself

[candid fossil]

Good to know but I don't mind doing the missions for more

[real thorn]

The difficulty comes in gasping the size of the universe you can explore

[boreal violet]

Yes most folk go back to main save

[humble peak]

Hey can anyone explain expeditions to me? This will be my first one, is it pretty much a restart from the tutorial? Just get to the anomaly

[boreal violet]

'Scales of Fire' must be bugged for me as it won't complete after many attempts...

[ornate wing]

Recommended scorch earth world?

nvm found one

[humble peak]

And should I do it on my main account? (like how nexus missions just put you back where you were)

[boreal violet]

You don't need Anomaly tbh

I like starting with fresh save

[sick mulch]

Why does the freighter event keep bugging out when almost fighting off all the enemies?
Everything completely disappears.

[shut pasture]

Same

[boreal violet]

That happens usually if you try to dock during battle (bug)

[wraith junco]

Meanwhile cake:
But i heard that food items dont work properly

[ornate wing]

Only real advantage of a fresh save, is you keep 100% of the expedition as it converts to a normal sav.e

[shadow pivot]

and you dont have to worry about expedition rewards bugging and not being available to your main save

[shut pasture]

@wraith junco nice

[boreal violet]

I prefer the back to basics first expedition run with a new save instead of bringing stuff at anomaly

[shut pasture]

And I'd believe it, I'm not getting much from food items. Swear they were working during the expedition though

[sick mulch]

I see. It has happened twice now and I have been pretty far away from the actual freighter itself

[chrome fog]

does it have any effect to supercharge this?

[gaunt fern]

70% + storm. nice. probably takes a bitg to make cake?

[wraith junco]

A bit. Its a big investment for fishing. this cake is worth around 200k. To bad if u got 20k A class fish for it huh?

[boreal violet]

Try to clip a video & send to zen desk

[boreal violet]

I would never advise using a main save having been locked out in the past until a patch

[remote thunder]

not a bug @sick mulch - being able to land in the station of the same system the battle triggered in got patched out in Echoes update, can't reload from the same system anymore; rescue freighter, if you want to reroll reload restore point and rewarp

[remote thunder]

nope

[boreal violet]

If you try to dock with a ship being attacked it dissappears

[wintry void]

I still dont get why fishing a thing....bad for making units, bad for making nanites

[remote thunder]

correct - that's part of the patch

[chrome fog]

thanks!! :)

[remote thunder]

if you do it with a pirate dreadnought battle though, it won't - but if you reload that restore point set in station in same system, battle won't respawn

[boreal violet]

They should just disable docking like before where you just bounce off

[spice locust]

I haven't done an Expedition from a main save at the nexus yet. What all does it bring over besides just the items you out in? Does it keep the mods on your ship? is it just whatever ship you have active?

[remote thunder]

you've got 8 tech slots and 24 cargo slots in the stash to put almost anything you want to retrieve once you're running expedition and have unlocked anomaly (first warp). equipped ship and MT in primary save upon starting can then be copied using nanites using the expedition terminus again once you're running expedition, copies everything about the ship and MT except cargo inventory

type !faq-expedition in #bot-spam, see starting an expedition link

[spice locust]

Awesome, thanks for the run down!

[lyric rampart]

Fins of thunder is just bugged for me im in an extreme storm with spicy chum bait and its stuck on 1/3

[gaunt fern]

its the only one I have left.

[viral yacht]

Anyone realise you can make the skiff move yet?

Realised*

[remote thunder]

has to say "can only be caught during a storm"

[boreal violet]

@remote thunder have you finished the expedition yourself? Scales of Fire won't finish for me.

[spice locust]

How many nanites does it cost?

[remote thunder]

missing 80k units of profit selling fish and i'm done

[viral yacht]

I take that as a no. So if you resummon the skiff further out it drifts over to that location. I dunno if anyone knew that.

[remote thunder]

~3k for the ship iirc, less for MT

[noble cobalt]

Ooo, nice catch!

[ornate wing]

Recommended bait for big boi fish?

[noble cobalt]

Spicy chum

[lyric rampart]

I was in several storms and still was stuck at 1

[remote thunder]

that's neat, i hadn't noticed that since i've been summoning it pretty long distances, different planets and systems etc; that said, i've noticed that if i try summoning it from certain positions, it gets all wacky spinning around itself lol (like trying to summon it while in the water myself)

[viral yacht]

Yeh give it a try, it should move to the location you summon it.

[noble cobalt]

Needs to say that it only appears during a storm

[viral yacht]

Without teleporting might I add.

[remote thunder]

being in a storm isn't the "issue", it's catching fish that in the description they can only be caught in a storm, very specific about it

[main dove]

All I have left is the storm fish. I found a nice extreme storm planet and a boatload of mag bait

[spice locust]

Is that from your main characters pool or the expedition character's?

[remote thunder]

expedition's

so bring something to sell or refine for nanites e.g. sus packets tech/arms, hyaline brains

[spice locust]

Cool, Thanks again!

[remote thunder]

or use zoology

didn't take long till i got to 10k nanites tbf

spent more time fishing than finding all fauna

[viral yacht]

Or release fish back into the ocean for nanites too (make sure to finish the 500k mission first)

[remote thunder]

starter planet is great, 4 fauna, 1k nanites, 1 a-class hyperdrive module from station installed on ship, 1 warp to rdv1, sweet!

[shut pasture]

4 flying fauna, easy to scan

[rose veldt]

aandd Done expedition 15 , was very short but relaxing

[boreal violet]

@remote thunder with the scales of fire objective if you fly into space it says 'return to the last known fishing spot on planet Cayett Major' like it wants you to be near the rendezvous location?

[shut pasture]

You can be anywhere on the planet

[remote thunder]

just on the same planet

anywhere there's water

[remote thunder]

nice you got one of those too!

[rose veldt]

yea😅

[viral yacht]

You might find this mission takes anywhere between 20-1 hour of time to do

Also for scales of fire you do not need the rarity bait incase it hadn't been mentioned

[remote thunder]

no baits needed, milestone thing

[viral yacht]

@remote thunder sent you a pm about expedition badges ^^

[remote thunder]

just be patient, you're still getting fish to use for something else later

[rough mortar]

How are you guys doing in the expedition?

I plan to do a bit more today

thank god I have time

[solid copper]

I don't know how to make it move, but at least mine can takes off like a rocket

[boreal violet]

The rng is really silly for this one

[ornate wing]

fun fact, you can use the screen shot camera to knock the skiff around.

[viral yacht]

Haha so when you're on the skiff just resummon it infront of you but obviously a bit further away from where you are and it should drift to that location

[gaunt fern]

must be special fish in Dissonant oceans

[solid copper]

good to know

[boreal violet]

Also casting near to yourself in shallow water the fish that appear push you around 😆

[viral yacht]

It's mainly because it's a legendary find, but I agree it does take a while.

[boreal violet]

Ah good to know it's legendary tnx

[rose veldt]

heh , i still catch him 😄

I think a tornado got me in the air or something 😄

[viral yacht]

@boreal violet

!!!!spoiler!!!!!

||Yeah it's a angler fish legendary you'll definitely see it as it comes up. Sorry if it's a spoiler for anyone 👀||

[rose veldt]

coming here after another game where the rng was even 3 hours , this is like a walk in the park 😄

[viral yacht]

I'm a osrs player so you know.... XD

[forest jasper]

relaxing 🤯🤯

[rose veldt]

well of course , you just had to fish 😄

[forest jasper]

for like 1billion hours i am still doing it

[lime plume]

Do the traps still work even if you go to a different system?

[rose veldt]

Ahh my bad then... I don't want to brag or something...

[shut pasture]

@lime plume they work when you're offline too

[remote thunder]

tried fishing some on one, didn't see any difference unfortunately

was hoping

[boreal violet]

The fishing reminds me of Animal Crossing New Horizons during lockdown

[shut pasture]

They're like mineral extractors

[lime plume]

Thanks. Guess I'll go to the next fishing spot and let em work then.

[gaunt fern]

catelogue shows Atlantidian Crab, seemed like a possible location for it

[inner flame]

I didnt expect to like this expedition as much as I do but this is my most played yet and I might actually finish it. All in a days work and I am not someone who is usually fan of fishing in games but this has been really nice so far!

[solid copper]

uh... why did my ship change color after i reload a save point

[boreal violet]

Not bad...

[ornate wing]

I honestly appreicate the planning and set up. It's a bit diffren't pacing. Like your finding a good spot. Setting up your cooking, skif, having the ship nearby, etc.

[forest jasper]

ya know how it say go to the last know fishing spot and fish up a message in a bottle

do you have to go to that location

[remote thunder]

yes

simply teleport back

[lime plume]

Would be nice if the skiff protected from weather tho.

[remote thunder]

all the rdv stations should be on your list once you visit their system

[forest jasper]

we’re do that bec i teleport i am at the system but idk how to get back the the spot

[zenith ermine]

anyones fishing rod not throwing a line out when you press the trigger? i have bait on it! im in vr

[remote thunder]

you just need to be on the same planet

[forest jasper]

ok😮‍💨

[remote thunder]

did it work before? tried to save+reload?

[shut pasture]

This does seem to be the case, I switched to spicy chum and am getting much better results. Now I'm not sure if I want to continue my "research". All of the bait stats can probably be datamined anyway

[ornate wing]

Perfect weather for fishing

[zenith ermine]

only just got it..on 1st fishing spot. ill try a reload

[forest jasper]

the exspadition thinks so

[gaunt fern]

kelp rice + any fish cooked or not

[wraith junco]

Worst thing is that there is no bait catalouge or aditional info about bonuses in item description in catalouge.

[shut pasture]

Not bad

How do you get kelp rice

@wraith junco yeah getting the stats is tedious. Ask how I know

[remote thunder]

process kelp sac iirc

[shut pasture]

That's a pretty easy one

[remote thunder]

ahuh

more complex recipes are definitely not always better

[wraith junco]

No need to ask. i do the same. checking items manualy.

[gaunt fern]

you mine kelp, and then process it in the nutrient. easy todo large batches quickly

[rose veldt]

There's a lot kelp underwater, then process it

[remote thunder]

i've already spent more time testing different stuff than actually fishing i think

[boreal violet]

Ouch....

[wraith junco]

We know

[remote thunder]

pass the word to new players at around that part, if you see them

[shut pasture]

Yep. Lots of really basic recipes give 50%+

Hopefully they're looking into wether food is working right or not. Definitely seems bugged

Just from 10 minutes of using spicy chum vs seafood stew

[rose veldt]

We need an anchor to the Exo - Skiff 😅
The water keep trowing me down from it

[remote thunder]

i hear you

[shut pasture]

Does jiggling the bobber do anything or is it like a tap A to catch pokemon thing

[remote thunder]

yeah i was starting to get my doubts as well

[remote thunder]

hmm at times i thought it might be doing something, but who knows, maybe just placebo

probably just my imagination

[gaunt fern]

I like to tease the fish into biting

[remote thunder]

i just wait and watch till bait counter gets -1, then i know a fish is going to bite soon

1-5 nibbles, usually

[thorny turret]

Having a terrible time with catching storm fish any tips?

[shut pasture]

Yeah it's nice that bait isn't used until they nibble so you can cancel the cast

[boreal violet]

Yeah 5 nibbles is max with 5th being a bite

[shut pasture]

I wonder if the additional bait effects of foods also aren't working? Or just the rarity/size?

[boreal violet]

Need an expensive bait that speeds up rng 😆

[gentle spade]

Good tip for irradiated fish! Thanks

[rotund dove]

I’m struggling with the storm fishes and the 100kg fish all else is finished 😅😂

[hot blade]

Any recommendations on what I need to bring with?

Kinda feeling a bit overwhelmed with two expeditions back to back

Thank you

[shut pasture]

This one is super laid back and you have 6 weeks

It can be done very quickly but no need to rush

[ashen shore]

For storm fish go to a red star constant storm planet save yourself the hassle

Then just use metal plating as bait

[remote thunder]

get to a planet with storms, any of the rdv planets have them, wait for a storm, fish, only ones that count are the ones that say on the description "can only be caught in a storm"

[main dove]

I thought green were more likely to have storms?

[ashen shore]

I find em on red mostly

[boreal violet]

Is the 2nd fishing rod available outside of the expedition?

[shut pasture]

Yep

[boreal violet]

The Anomaly?

[shut pasture]

Seems to be a cosmetic difference only? Yes buy blueprint at the anomaly

[ornate wing]

Final catch for said objective to 😄

[boreal violet]

So the cosmetic blueprint are at anomaly?
@shut pasture

[shut pasture]

It's a multitool blueprint, yes

[boreal violet]

Tnx as I think I looks better

[gaunt fern]

caught my last storm fish super easy. strange. used the mag lures. on dissonant planet in red star system

[ashen shore]

Res star the way

[low ember]

Is it worth crafting the lures over cooking

[ashen shore]

Fishing is a very cool new mechanic
But bro I've fallen asleep multiple times during the expo lol

[arctic cradle]

Anyone got a picture of the rewards in the new expedition? I’m not home and I can’t find anything online so I just wanna see if the rewards are worth it (I’m doing the expedition regardless lmao)

[gaunt fern]

food might be broken

[shut pasture]

We're thinking any bait made in the nutrient processor isn't working right now, so go for crafted ones

[balmy aspen]

No worries! The RNG is pretty frustrating if you are trying to power through the expedition

[boreal violet]

https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/09/aquarius-update/

[low ember]

Oh snap, didnt know this. It sure hasnt felt like its made any difference what cooked bait I put on lol

[boreal violet]

Yeah trying processed food now and no difference

[spice locust]

Why can you only upload discoveries every once in a while? I've scanned new stuff but can't upload

[arctic cradle]

Didn’t think to check the website lol thank man!

[main dove]

Does that include my trusty processed meat? No!

That explains my terrible results

[barren quiver]

anyone else not getting protected from the environment on the skiff?

[main dove]

Yeah, the skiff offers no environmental protection

[barren quiver]

ight

[latent forum]

Is there a trick to catching a non fish? Lol

[remote thunder]

don't use any bait, just keep trying, you'll eventually get a boot, or something else

[barren quiver]

i havent played a ton with it yet but i imagine you just use no bait

[remote thunder]

no need to fail on purpose or anything

[gaunt fern]

I get non fish plenty even using food bait... hmmm

[remote thunder]

hehe

[barren quiver]

the seaweed is hungry lmao

[remote thunder]

can't upload discoveries you didn't do - when you inspect that discovery in the discoveries menu, who do you see as discoverer?

[boreal violet]

I just realised you will need the Anomaly if you want to craft some of the new lures as some item recipes like lubricant won't be unlocked

[gaunt fern]

are the coordinates on the Angler bottles the locations of the rdv?

[remote thunder]

yep, just be on the same planet of that phases' rdv

[gaunt fern]

was thinking of using a portal, but if they are just the places we already were, no reason

[remote thunder]

do the rdv milestone, then right after the angler one

[remote thunder]

nanites won't really be a problem

[boreal violet]

Understood I just tend to not use anomaly often during expeditions

[primal arch]

Does this expedition give us the thing to land on water?

Okay fire thank you

My dumbass forgot to bring it over from last expedition

[high garnet]

very fun expedition, just finished

[main dove]

The only stuff I felt compelled to snag from the anomaly was economy scanner, personal refiner mk 2 and cadmium drive. Some base building parts but I could have used a blueprint computer too. I just see them as a waste. Why use a more limited item when the anomaly has everything?

I probably would have finished sooner if I knew food bait was useless.

[gaunt fern]

does feel like seafood stew is same as nothing. mealworms pretty easy and seem better.

if I take the final phase reward am I done with exp?

[boreal violet]

I wonder if HG will ever add an inventory sort button....

[ashen shore]

The glyphs on the bottle lead unique places

[remote thunder]

and all the others, pretty much

[gaunt fern]

does it kick me out?

[remote thunder]

glyphs on the bottle are just the glyphs of the rdv systems though?

[ashen shore]

Not if you use the glyphs outside elucid

Insert galaxy brain gif here

[cerulean olive]

And that's the second expedition run done. Finished it on PS5 and Mac. Switch awaits 😂

[thorny turret]

Does any type of storm yield storm fish?

[cerulean olive]

yes

[thorny turret]

Ok thank you

[boreal violet]

What's with the message in a bottles with the red writing inside them?

[ashen shore]

Wish i could do this too, sadly i have 0 motivation rn lol

[remote thunder]

hah, well, right

[whole seal]

Can you only get non-fish items on your line on robo horse worlds?

[boreal violet]

Good point 😆

[primal arch]

Bruh I gotta figure out how to make money in this expedition ASAP

Need to buy a good ship smfh

[lime plume]

If it's not on a new save, you can copy your ship from the save you used to enter the expedition for nanites.

[primal arch]

I don’t even have enough nanites for that 😭

2000 nanites in this economy smh

[lime plume]

You can get half of that from the first planet alone scanning all the fauna.

[primal arch]

You get nanites from scanning all the fauna???

Bruh

[lime plume]

If you scan all the fauna/animals on a planet you can claim nantes from from the fauna menu for that specific planet under the discovery tab.

[primal arch]

Well time to scan every fauna in this solar system 🫡

Cuz I’d much rather fly my solar ship from the main save than this brick 😭

[gaunt fern]

I gathered units early in the exp and bought an S class fighter

[barren quiver]

wait i forgot lmao do we get to keep bases we make on expeditions if we start them from our main save?

[primal arch]

You keep the bases idk if you kept what you built tho (need someone to confirm)

[primal arch]

I have like 5M rn but I need like 30+ for those sadly

[gaunt fern]

can quickly build up with a trade route. just bounce through space stations

[primal arch]

Wait wym? Trade routes?

[hushed crest]

anyone down to squad up and show me the ropes a lil more

[barren quiver]

ah ok thanks

[solemn bane]

Yeah, they stay intact and are in your bases list. At least last time I did this they did.

[barren quiver]

thanks

[main dove]

I found a dissonant system, nabbed an echo locator, found a harmonic camp and got a C class interceptor with lots of slots for free

[gaunt fern]

seems like a good way to do it too

[solemn bane]

I even made all mine offline (since I was running all the old expeditions) and they all stuck around when I went back online to play the main game.

[main dove]

I could have farmed for a better one and got units but it was good enough for me

[remote thunder]

fish biscuit, because why not

[solemn bane]

I shoulda used the idiot legendary fish that kept biting as bait when I needed uncommon fire fish

[lime plume]

Only need one last storm fish and I'm done. Just gotta sit and wait for it to roll in.

[solemn bane]

Oh I just noticed this. I wonder if it's closely correlated with how many people played/finished each expedition. If so, people loved Polestar for some reason

[final turret]

I'm honestly about to go to another planet, I've been fishing at this spot for a while and no message in a bottle.

[gaunt fern]

are you on the rdv planet?

[final turret]

Yeah

[gaunt fern]

shallows, no bait

[finite gull]

Quick question about the Expo. I'm missing the task: Fire Shed - Find the Angler's Legacy. Does anyone have a tip?

it is the third task in phase five

[lime plume]

Just keep fishing, if you have any bionic lures left use those.

I managed to catch it on my very last one of those lures.

And done, managed to get my last fish just before the storm let up.

[inland flax]

I finished on 5.10 (so idk about 5.11's slight changes) but I got it fairly quickly fishing in the very deep water ~100u near the last rendezvous, no bait. Afaik it's just RNG (I haven't heard anything conclusive about whether bait is effective or depth matters)

[inland flax]

This is wrong about traps, I've seen them have 1 or 2 fish in them less than 5 minutes after clearing (hopefully I'm not misunderstanding what is meant by "One hour to start")

[primal arch]

There’s no way to display fish atm right

Like at a base

[bold solstice]

am i doing something wrong, is there somewhere specific im supposed to be at? hundreds of magpulse bait and dozens of storms and i still haven't gotten a single storm fish

[gaunt fern]

I'm sure its just luck, but I got like 5 in one storm on a red-star dissonant planet in shallows.

[bold solstice]

ill try looking there, im already on a red planet though it just has extreme weather

[inland flax]

I did it on Ietap Prime, the 3rd rendezvous planet I believe (In the Eugeli system)

[gaunt fern]

thatss what I was looking for at the time. shallows worked well for me. found these brine worms

[ornate wing]

Nothing like catching the legacy, and having a full inventory...

Hopfully that didn't break the quest. Like now I don't know if I can get it again and just grinding forever for no reason.

[final turret]

I think the trap quest is broken, as it tells me to construct and deploy an automated trap, but I've constructed and placed 3. Is there something specific you have to do to deploy them?

[gaunt fern]

you need to get 13 fish out of them, others said issues too. should be good

[final turret]

Well, the fish I get out of them don't seem to be counting towards the milestone goal.

[inland flax]

Just checking before I do it: will there be any issues/brokenness if I have already finished the exp. and converted that to a normal save, and now start a new save on the exp. again?

[final turret]

Ok, found the problem, I was deploying them too close to my underwater base.

[cerulean olive]

I didn't have problems with the traps very near my underwater base at all. Mine were right on top of it. All fishes counted.

[boreal violet]

Having failed to get 'scales of fire' to complete for hours I realised switching over to the Bionic Lure as its for legendary (Doh) I got it within 24 tries!!!! With 3 legendary so that lure definitely is advised

[gaunt fern]

I could harvest mine from base door. hmm

[inland flax]

nice. luckily I didn't need any lure for it and it didn't take long somehow, just got lucky I guess

[ornate wing]

Same...except my inventory was full so it didn't trigger.

[inland flax]

ouch

[ornate wing]

Super worried now I broke the quest. and I'll be spending hours for nothing.

[final turret]

idk why, but it didn't count my trap as being deployed until I moved away from my underwater base.

[solemn bane]

Ah crap, I didn't notice there was a fishing difficulty setting. That could have made things a lot faster, lol.

[gaunt fern]

not in exp

[cerulean olive]

You probably should have reloaded a save, empty some inventory and go at it again.

[ornate wing]

They really should provide like 6-7 backup saves.

[remote thunder]

bout to go in and sell some fish to get my last milestone

[ornate wing]

Hate how you got one shot to pay attention, then its like oops you exited the ship again

[remote thunder]

wondering if you could just get another

[ornate wing]

Yea, that is my hope.

Always paranoid about RNG based quest when something like this happens. Never know if Hello put a fail safe in

[inland flax]

I wonder if it triggers if someone just gives you the fish

[solemn bane]

Just started a new expedition and check, definitely there

[remote thunder]

wondering if messing with that messes with completing any of the milestones

[gaunt fern]

lets you change it?

[remote thunder]

like decreasing on foot combat did for exp13 and biohorror encounters

[solemn bane]

I actually noticed because I was looking at the expedition json and it has it set to auto catch:

    "Fishing": {
      "FishingDifficulty": "AutoCatch"
    }

So I think it's supposed to be the fast one, but the game doesn't know how to read that setting yet

[lyric roost]

There's difficulty settings for fishing.

Huh

[solemn bane]

It'll just instantly reel the fish in when they bite I assume

Guess I'll check since it's open 😆

[remote thunder]

bite, not nibble, right?

hopefully

[solemn bane]

That's my guess, though maybe they bite faster?

[remote thunder]

i've seen bites in 1 nibble, but they're rare ime

[solemn bane]

I was really hoping for something to make those idiots bite faster

[remote thunder]

right

sometimes they take like 5 nibbles and i'm like eat it already

[boreal violet]

There is. You can auto catch

[remote thunder]

sold all my a/b/c fish, got like 420k units wasn't bad, just got to log on and sell the rest

and that will be exp15 done

[boreal violet]

@gaunt fern

[remote thunder]

i'm actually curious about challenging on this one lol

[cerulean olive]

Yeah, I used the option. Catching hundreds of fish the normal way gets boring real fast.

[boreal violet]

I just have the storm fish requirement left to do

[remote thunder]

i'm taking my sweet time collecting ingredients and trying out stuff

[cerulean olive]

I finished the exped twice now.

[remote thunder]

only exp i want to rerun multiple times again is going to be omega - still need some qs to unlock some stuff in the qs shop, finally decided like a month ago that i was going to get "serious" and unlock everything in the qs shop

[boreal violet]

And you have to do it all again on main save for the fish wonders records

[cerulean olive]

My wonders got reset so many times, I don't even bother with them anymore 😄

[boreal violet]

I just want an inventory sort button next.....

[cerulean olive]

that is my most wanted feature now too.

[solemn bane]

You'll have to wait til after the cooking expedition

[boreal violet]

Farming expedition next.... 🚜

[ornate wing]

Ok can confirm you can re-catch The Angler

[inland flax]

nice, that's good

[boreal violet]

While it's in your inventory?

[ornate wing]

Not quiet certain.

Chop yours up into sushi then find out XD

[cerulean olive]

I guess not. Perhaps just until the milestone is completed. But once that's done, the Angler won't appear no more.

[summer kraken]

Why tf is the storm fish mission so fucking bs-

[boreal violet]

Is there a legendary of each fish?

[summer kraken]

Even with the lures for storm fish, and fishing DURING A STORM, I still can't get one.

It's literally been two hours. Why.

[lyric rampart]

Im stuck on that one too

[inland flax]

Now I need to try exactly what I did again on 5.11, I didn't have this much trouble with it.

Wait, does the Lost Angler's Rig gives some bonus or is it just cosmetic? That could play a part I suppose.

[fierce viper]

is lost anglers even better

LMAO same time for that thought

[gaunt fern]

doesn't seem like it based on the guide?

[fierce viper]

I caught 2 already

[cerulean olive]

Caught many legendary fishes.

[boreal violet]

Found this...

[cerulean olive]

looks like every fish has a tier

[fierce viper]

some of them aren't like some glowing ones are normal

[gaunt fern]

different order than when you pull it up

[fierce viper]

the orange jelly is S

[boreal violet]

I think it's a datamined file picture

[ashen shore]

Fellas today were going fishing it's time to catch 3 storm..... zzzzzzzzzzz

My real experience

[ornate wing]

Use Magpulse Lures

[summer kraken]

Dude.

I literally have the most ideal conditions and still haven't gotten O N E in two hours.

Those lures ain't doing shit.

[cerulean olive]

Most lures do nothing much.

[summer kraken]

Fishing during a storm, using the Magpulse Lures, fishing in deep water.

Nothing.

[fierce viper]

I just need 1 more dish

[cerulean olive]

I didn't use any, besides the ones for the milestone and got the jobs done quite easily.

[gaunt fern]

I got mine in shallow easier

[summer kraken]

I actually think they're literally bugged.

I have tested it a bit and the odds of better fish literally isn't affected at all.

Had better odds at getting a legendary with the auto traps.

Not fucking kidding.

It caught three but with the lure specifically for legendaries took a whole ass day of fishing.

🗿

[inland flax]

It's so weird, yesterday I got 3 in like 2 storms - ~50u, Lost Angler's Rig, Magpulse Lures. Only took like 10 lures used to get the necessary quantity. This was on 5.10 btw.

[summer kraken]

...
