nms-expedition

[lusty slate]

It's all RNG. I did it in 55u water and no bait

[cerulean olive]

If rng loves you, it's enough.

[lusty slate]

Just makes sure it's 50+u.

[next sparrow]

okay thanks

[cerulean olive]

I also did it 3 times, because I really dig the backpack and want it on each of my accounts.

Armor piece is nice too. Not big on the flipper boots, but the rest looks solid.

and the octo bobble head in your ship's cockpit. Hard to pass on that one too 😄

[spare cave]

what are you guys doing with your fish?
i'm releasing S and A for nanites and make fish biscuit with the rest of them

[lusty slate]

Does it finally match the Dreams of the Deep helm?

[cerulean olive]

sell them for the milestone and release the rest

[cerulean olive]

Not really. the color on the DotD helmet is off from the rest of the suit.

[trail bridge]

you get nanites by realeasing them?

[leaden cloak]

I've tried the nanites, Ive tried cooking (quite a bit of combos), starting to just think selling or releaseing everything is the way. It takes so long to cook all this

[lusty slate]

Sold C and B for milestone. Released any C/B I had left for nanites. Taking A/S back to main for recipe catalog purposes

[spare cave]

yep, around 100 for A and 150+ for S

can't remember how much you get from S tbh

[trail bridge]

alr ty

[leaden cloak]

For my money though. I think if you have the patience, cook down all your green/blue fish, using two cooked products from raw fish gets you a Seafood Stew.

[spare cave]

fish biscuit is really good if you're after units
it's just sugar dough + any fish 1:1 and nets around 50k profit with a C fish

[leaden cloak]

Any three raw fish in the nutrient processor gets you Salty Platter, which is decent too. 3 Green fish will get you this.

[leaden cloak]

sugar dough, thank you for the reciepe 😄

im new to cooking, there's so many recipes out there , trying to dwindle down my fish stock on expedition into good bait on main save

[spare cave]

you can make sugar dough from frost crytals and cactus and you can farm both of them

[leaden cloak]

ok sweet! thank you 🙂

[dire mirage]

are there specific spots you need to fish in to find Messages in a Bottle for the Expedition milestones?

[spare cave]

salty platter looks good for using as bait. might have to get "some" of those xD

[leaden cloak]

That same planet will do, doesnt have to be in the area or anything though.

Yah. Bionic Lure is kind of a pain to build , once a farm is made to get it going, no biggie. But cooking fish to get bait is easier , i think.

[astral abyss]

not bad I guess

[dire mirage]

so it's just luck and time and rng? 😦

[leaden cloak]

RNG for sure. I used a Bionic Lure to get it. Or something with a decent rarity for bait. Not sure if that helps for real, but mentally it helped. Each time was about 4-5 casts and i got the bottle

[lusty slate]

The corresponding rendezvous planet.

[astral abyss]

I think someone mentioned that bringing these back to main save brakes the coordinates.

[grand lodge]

So I guess take a screenshot first

[astral abyss]

Don't feel like getting the glyphs... Are they worth anything but finding rare fishes.

[leaden cloak]

Oh, and, I would try multiple locations as in, shallow depth, and deep depths 40-50u , if one wasnt working over the other. Again no real science saying this is a thing. But mentally it helped , and i got a variety of fish while fishing

[lusty slate]

Pretty sure those glyphs are just the rendezvous planets?

[lime plume]

Yeah, just the rendezvous planets glyphs.

[astral abyss]

Oh, you're right. I just checked one of them, but it seems the case.

[remote pond]

Selling fish for the quest, any terminal do, or should I be travelling around to find better prices?

[grand lodge]

Depends how much work you wanna do I guess. Or what kind of work.

Obviously you gotta sell more fish if the price is stinky

[ashen shore]

Use em outside elucid
Galaxy brain

[dire mirage]

uh. Why can't I build an automated trap? I am more than 30 units depth, and just get "must be built underwater" warning

[median sparrow]

Build it on the water

[ashen shore]

Put em on waters surface

[dire mirage]

......wow why would it say underwater then lmfao

[ashen shore]

Universe brain

Idk

[dire mirage]

thanks

[median sparrow]

Because it's stupid.

[dire mirage]

would literally never have figured that out lol

[median sparrow]

Look it firmly in the eye and tell it to knock it off.

[ashen shore]

No thank you citizen
Join the gek empire today

[lusty slate]

...they work almost the same as the fishing traps in Stardew Valley, so I caught on quickly lol

[ashen shore]

Ah yes stardew valley where is 1.6 on consoles it's been nearly a year

[dire mirage]

any easy ways to find predators in the expedition? for bounty board missions, not milestones

[hushed crest]

so i started a new save with expedition and obviously didn't get starter ship. how do i go about getting one?

[cerulean olive]

You always get a starter ship. It just needs to be found and repaired.

[leaden cloak]

Thanks for any help in here. Im done with expedition. Until next one! Fishing is sweet.

[next sparrow]

exosuit expansion kind of not needed imo, you can buy drop pod locations that can be farmed easily, or get the expansions themselves from guild envoy, or just buy them at a station, they are way cheaper than multitool/ship expansion slots...

ship/freighter/multitool are good to farm from expeditions though

[cerulean olive]

Tbf, 24 free insta slots is nice to bring along from the exped.

Unless you're decked out already.

[leaden cloak]

ah ok. I just kept em cause I didnt feel the need for em this go. I will be able to expand my inventory with them for free though ? Just have to go to a terminal in a space station?

Im not decked out yet, close though, this should probably do it hah

[next sparrow]

yeah its easier, like instant, whereas the methods i said take a bit of time still

[cerulean olive]

You could save them for the next expedition. Could make life easier.

[grand lodge]

I did it!! 😄

[leaden cloak]

This is a decent idea, thank you.

[cerulean olive]

I went from space station to space station to buy the slots. Took ages to get them all.

[next sparrow]

my base market terminal, has drop pod maps for sale, so i bought 60 of them and farmed the drop pods

and then i bought 60 anti mater, and 60 carbon tubes

[cerulean olive]

It's a long grind for sure.

[next sparrow]

since you need those to repair droppods

i didn't time it, felt like 1 hour to do 30

[cerulean olive]

I went the easier way. Space stations have them and are easy to find 😂

[next sparrow]

i did that too, but they started getting expensive

[grand lodge]

This was a wonderful expedition.

[shut pasture]

Buying things like antimatter, nanotubes, metal plating etc is smart, you don't realize at first how much time it saves

There are a lot of things you can buy from landed pilots at space stations too

[cerulean olive]

Very expensive

[next sparrow]

somehow this one feels less grindy and more enjoyable

even though it's all rng, the fishing system they made is really good i'd say

[shut pasture]

It's basically Animal Crossing 😂

[cerulean olive]

Which is a good thing 😂

[dire mirage]

is there any easy way to find predators?

[grand lodge]

I think the tasks are well-balanced too where like, I did juuuust theright amount to get there - didn't get it too fast nor did I get frustrated. It took me a bit on the storm fish but I got there

[shut pasture]

I believe horrors count as predators

[eternal cedar]

The nocturnal fish trolled me

I had to twice in a row race away from the sunrise

One of the later planets was pretty cool however

Toxic storms but it never got that dark at night

[cerulean olive]

The fishing is great. I just wish the skiff to be a vehicle and do fishing sitting down.

[next sparrow]

why ever use the skiff to fish when it bounces up and down and throws you out of it, into the water? whereas standing on my ship to fish is stable and achieves the same idea of a skiff? except without throwing me into water?...

[eternal cedar]

I wish the skiff had proper manual movement

They made it more stable as of 5.11 apparently

[shut pasture]

And for it to actually be... useful

[next sparrow]

i still fall off whenever theres big waves, doesn't even need to be a storm

[eternal cedar]

It's nice all their patches push QoL in

Like Waypoint giving us the supercharged slots

[cerulean olive]

It's good for pretty pictures

[shut pasture]

Skiff has storage and you can place stuff on it. Good for deep sea fishing. Just needs that anti-yeet tweak

[eternal cedar]

Or the recent patch showing fish weight records

Skiff needs a few things

[next sparrow]

you can place nutrient processor on it?

[eternal cedar]

• more stability
• manual movement
• the correct slot number (it's 10 base game 60 in expedition iirc)

[next sparrow]

ship has storage too 😄

[cerulean olive]

And a seat to fish from.

[eternal cedar]

You can but if the skiff is moved by water it'll make the thing float mid air

[next sparrow]

and i can place skiff beside ship to use skiff storage, but keep the ships stability

[eternal cedar]

I don't mind not having a seat honestly

[shut pasture]

Havent tried that but you can place trade rocket so I assume so. And yes ship has storage so you have your ship and skiff storage

[next sparrow]

theres no way right now i'd stand on a skiff in middle of an ocean over my ship

[shut pasture]

Like. Your ship is still there

[eternal cedar]

I'm interested to see what 5.12 brings

[cerulean olive]

I mainly fished from my ship.

[eternal cedar]

This update isn't that buggy which is nice

[lusty slate]

They just need to fix the skiff storage on main. I actually don't mind the yeeting. A touch of realism. I mean, it basically is just a raft.

[cerulean olive]

Just a graphic thing on Mac that needs fixing. The Lost Angler fishing pole misses the top end visually.

[eternal cedar]

Not sure why spawning it again makes it slowly move but

They could add an inbuilt nutrient processor I suppose

I'd love an exosuit one also

[grand lodge]

I find the yeeting sorta funny

[green bane]

what are we doing with these legendary fish? are there fish tanks?

[shut pasture]

I need a website like for cocktails that lets you plug in all the NMS cooking ingredients you have and tells you what you can make. Still trying out as much bait as possible.

[lusty slate]

And maybe make reeling a fish in look less like a poltergeist in first POV.

[eternal cedar]

Sell em or throw into the water too get nanites

[lusty slate]

See the magic levitating pole!

[eternal cedar]

Nmsresources has some iirc

Not the biggest fan of it visually but it works

[shut pasture]

Cook them and have a nice picnic

Wow you're not kidding that website is like a Geocities flashback

[cerulean olive]

They could add a fishing pole for the Minotaur, lol.

[robust surge]

I could have sworn I seen an aquarium blueprint while doing the expedition, but now I can't fine one.

[cerulean olive]

It's a decoration. Static, though.

[green bane]

bummer. i was hoping for something like in ffxiv. you can display them living in aquariums

[hexed bison]

you can place the nutriant processor on it, I've done that.

[green bane]

they seem super cool though

[cerulean olive]

Well, you could display them as Wonders.

[green bane]

oh yeaaaah. that's a good idea

[shut pasture]

Huh weird sometimes fish stack in traps and sometimes they don't

[lusty slate]

The aquarium blueprint awarded by the milestone isn't a new item. It's a normal QS blueprint that's been around for a while

[cerulean olive]

Tbf, I don't know if they can be selected as such. Haven't tried that.

[robust surge]

Ahh so we can't put fish in it we have caught?

[hexed bison]

really hope they add an interactable aquarium you can put fish in.

[cerulean olive]

Come to think of it, I don't think the fish we catch have actual 3D models.

[lusty slate]

I'm fine with not being able to (properly) drive the skiff. Give me a proper boat exocraft later that pairs well with the skiff. That'll do nicely

[shut pasture]

They don't seem to. There are different sizes but it's just the same shadow scaled

[cerulean olive]

Yeah. Same model even for non fish items and clams, octo's and so on.

[lusty slate]

They're basically treated like animal products.

[cerulean olive]

Curious to know what they'll cook up next.

[hexed bison]

I see what you did there.

[shut pasture]

Seafood stew

[lusty slate]

Sail boat, please.

[eternal cedar]

I'm ok with it having slow ish movement

[bleak kelp]

is it normal to not get a message in a bottle after like 15 casts

[lusty slate]

Yeah, my last bottle took a while

[cerulean olive]

It's all rng

[lusty slate]

Angler took me half an hour. I think the frozen uncommons actually took me the longest.

[faint mesa]

I tried to move the skiff as instructed... nothing happened.

Wondering if I did something wrong

[cerulean olive]

On Switch, the high temp ones took me the longest.

[lusty slate]

Oh, I found a great spot on a scorched planet and did scorched, storm and colossal all at once in one two hour session.

[faint mesa]

Seven of them, right? It took me some time, but the most time-consuming task I think was using the automated fishing tech (can't remember the name).

Probably took more-or-less the same time, some 40min.

[hexed bison]

yeah I think the high temp ones took me the longest.

just cause there was so many of them.

[faint mesa]

But I really can't complain about the rng on this expedition for me... I had luck most of the time. Nothing took too much time.

[shut pasture]

I think they sped up the traps, they seem to collect much faster now

[cerulean olive]

7 uncommon, but I got the same one a ton of time.

[lusty slate]

Same. Two hours was the longest, but that was three milestone types in one.

Certainly not the six hours some were doing for storm fish.

Fishing in deep spots also helps

[cerulean olive]

Didn't have any trouble getting them on ps5 and Mac. Though on Switch.....

[faint mesa]

Yep, or the 3h some were spending on Scales of Fire...

That's cruel. 😆

[grand lodge]

The scales of fire came FAST once I made some bionic lures

[hexed bison]

think I probably spent at least three hours.

[bleak kelp]

six hours?? that one took me like 10 minutes

[lusty slate]

Not as bad as Voyagers.

[lusty slate]

Yeah, everyone's RNG luck has been highly varied.

[bleak kelp]

To be fair, I also got a legendary using no bait on the very first planet

well, the first planet that you had the fishing rig on

[cerulean olive]

Got all without bait.

[hexed bison]

I caught a lengendary in the automaded fish trap but that doen't count.

[lusty slate]

I got my first legendary doing the hot temp/storm/colossal three in one

[next sparrow]

i wish people didnt make 1 million bases everywhere, because it prevents me from auto fishing

which is annoying

[lusty slate]

Then another while doing irridated fish lol

[cerulean olive]

Got my first legendary while doing the catch 5 fish milestone on Switch. Lol

[grand lodge]

Storms took me ages but I finally got 2/3 on the 4th rendezvous planet that I did today... which makes me wonder if they adjusted any rates or anything

[faint mesa]

Got my legendary pretty early, no baits.

[cerulean olive]

Switch didn't give me as many legendaries as on PS5.

[grand lodge]

I did really well bait-wise with the processed meat just as a heads up for anyone still at it- like that was definitely the best effort-to-rarity-improvement bait

just zapping fauna and processing the meaty chunks

[limber nymph]

Got a beautiful planet to fish ...the lightning ⚡⚡ during the storms at sea in VR are wicked. 🖤

[shut pasture]

Anything made in the nutrient processor is not working as bait

[hexed bison]

it's admittedly fun to watch the raft being tossed around by the waves while fishing from the top of my ship

[bleak kelp]

do automatic traps count towards the total fish caught milestone

[shut pasture]

But yes once working processed meat is great for little effort

[lusty slate]

Great fishing spot I lucked into on that scorched planet. I base marked it and plan to return on main. Uncharted red system on the RD2 path (I had an indium drive ported over) though, so not as convenient to share to others.

[shut pasture]

Don't think so because they don't count for the biome fish

[cerulean olive]

The thing I liked most on doing the exped on Switch is the complete lack of comm balls.

[limber nymph]

Mine was classified as Frosty

[hexed bison]

I found a decent irradiated planet with deep enough water to catch big fish.

[lusty slate]

Leaving the ODS offline is peaceful, isn't it?

[cerulean olive]

It is. I truly hate running into comm balls everywhere.

[lusty slate]

I love my private, VP exclusive Anomaly lol

[cerulean olive]

Next QoL update should remove comm balls from the game permanently

[grand lodge]

Peaceful... but I like visiting people's bases

[cerulean olive]

Yup! No random group invites neither, or function as someone else's trashcan.

[cerulean olive]

You can still see other people's bases.

[lusty slate]

Switch still has the ODS

And base sharing and expedition access. You just can't actively SEE us. We ghosts

[cerulean olive]

I let my PS Plus sub expire. Now NMS on ps5 is like on Switch, lol

[shut pasture]

Wow I do not have the patience for cooking in this game

[next sparrow]

any reason the lost anglers rig is better? or just diff skin?

[shut pasture]

There should be a way to earn recipes or something... this cooking system is byzantine

[cerulean olive]

Skin, I think

[lusty slate]

It's... a whole thing. I'm still chipping away at the recipe list and I'm at 800+

You have to use the assistant app for it.

[shut pasture]

Ugh

[grand lodge]

tragically after all that work I find the deep sea appearance kit kinda ugly

[faint mesa]

lol, I had some fun doing random experiments on the nutrient processor... but I want to get better at it.

[faint mesa]

Definitely.

[shut pasture]

Yeah I'm not sure how much of this cooking I can do just to record bait properties

[lusty slate]

...and then you catch up and they add stuff

[shut pasture]

Like 100 fish with new recipes

[grand lodge]

The lil role sticker is its own reward tbh

[lusty slate]

I'm not touching the new ones until I finish the fishing catalog and have everything.

[shut pasture]

So far seafood stew is the most juice for the squeeze. Some directly processed fish is not bad tho. Brined fish is 49% rarity, shell puree 48%, whole roast fish 44%

[lusty slate]

So many new cooking stuff just this year. Cookies, the vile brood items + new fauna, fishing. All added tons of new enteries

[shut pasture]

I feel your pain

[hardy bluff]

seeing lots of conflicting answers... as long as my ship is S-Class and not exotic, I'll be able to put max tech and inventory slots on it regardless of class/type?

[shut pasture]

Need more milk

[indigo falcon]

I built a deck going out to deep water, it's somewhat above the water. but when the big wave animaton comes in (no storms, it's a paradise planet) sometimes the water comes voer the deck. doesn't do anything to the character but it's still weird

[lusty slate]

...you'll always need more milk

[faint mesa]

Yeah, the skiff is an adventure... unfortunately.

Got tossed away a few times

[indigo falcon]

S class means you can have max tech and inv slots for that ship type, yes.

[faint mesa]

...and fished while underwater, which was... something.

[hardy bluff]

thanks! also sorry, I thought I asked this in the help channel my bad

[lusty slate]

That was so weird, that happened to me too

[hardy bluff]

wait.. when you mean that ship type, do other shiptypes have different maxes? or all S-Classes have the same max, regardless. that's what i meant to convey

[earnest wind]

if i go underwater on my deck i get thrown into the air and it's so very dramatic XD

[indigo falcon]

different ship types have different max slots at S, at lest they used to, I presume that has not changed

[hardy bluff]

tyvm

[lusty slate]

Anyone else accidentally park their skiff over a crystal sulfide vent and get their butts lit up?

[faint mesa]

I think it did a bit after that update that changed inventory; but that being said, some ships I have can get more storage than others.

[indigo falcon]

uh nope can't say that I have

[faint mesa]

That being said, I really don't know what are the rules now. 😆

[faint mesa]

No, but now I want to try lol.

[lusty slate]

Hilariously, it does not harm the skiff at all. Just you

[indigo falcon]

my recollection is that haulers have the most cargo storage still. I don't know where sentinel ships figure into it. I oughta check the wiki and see if they ahve that info

[void cairn]

Am I crazy or can I not call the Anomaly in this expedition? It doesn't show when I'm in orbit above the first planet

[lusty slate]

Warp first

[void cairn]

Thanks

[shut pasture]

I absolutely cannot fathom the amount of person-hours that must have gone into the cooking. Just the clever names alone.

[lusty slate]

The names are the best part

[indigo falcon]

the design assets tho

[shut pasture]

And for 5.10 they all had to be assigned bait stats

[lusty slate]

I want to know which NMS dev is the cooking enthusiast. It's gotta be somebody

[sudden bison]

Any advice on catching storm fish

[indigo falcon]

could be a couple somebodies

[shut pasture]

Maybe the same as the EDM sound engineer who made bytebeat

@sudden bison use the magnetic lure and it has to be an active storm

[sudden bison]

I'm doing that lol

And I'm on an extreme planet

[shut pasture]

Keep doing it

[fleet folio]

And that is expedition done for me, now to deal with getting the stuff I want to keep transferred back to regular mode

[faint mesa]

You are already doing everything you can lol. The rest is up to rng.

[sudden bison]

Great, thanks anyway

[earnest wind]

RNG and i have not been friends at all this week

[shut pasture]

Ooh flavoursome sauce is +58 size, not sure it's worth the effort but anything above 50 is nice

[lusty slate]

Find an ice cream with high bait stats and I'm laughing forever

[shut pasture]

Lol

I mean you can use feascium as bait

[hexed bison]

use ice cream as bait on frozen worlds obviously.

[astral storm]

Huh. Got the angler with a mag pulse lure...didn't even use the bionic lures

[lusty slate]

I just got a mental picture of chucking a cone over the skiff and a bunch of fish piranha rushing it.

[shut pasture]

I just waves go over the natural terrain I was standing on

How do you even use soup as bait

Chum I guess

[lusty slate]

Toss them Gek weed cookies

[sudden bison]

Seriously what is this luck. 7 storms two planets and no storm fish

[faint mesa]

I guess lures don't matter much on this specific milestone.
Not sure. I did without any lure lol.

[indigo falcon]

by the grace of the Atlas all of these things are possible 😛

[next sparrow]

i got the angler with meaty lure

[indigo falcon]

all you people who actually used to cold storage smh

[sudden bison]

I get attacked by pirates but still no storm fish

[lusty slate]

Yeah, that's what mine looked like before I cleared it out

[next sparrow]

just 1 of every fish

i sold or processed the rest, but im gonna process these now and keep the legends

[shut pasture]

That's some nanites

[lusty slate]

I sold/released everything but the A/S. Those are going to be a recipe stash.

[hexed bison]

I turned all my greens into bait and the blues into money.

[faint mesa]

I didn't clear... just sold the valuable ones for the milestone.
...and the save converted to normal. So in theory... 10 slots.

I don't want to see what happened to all my fish lol.

[hexed bison]

I heard you get to keep the extra slots if you did the expedition but I haven't checked myself.

[shut pasture]

I have quite a stack of seafood stew from cooking all my C class fish

[next sparrow]

i have like 500 million on my main save, and 60k nanites, so i turned all my fish into bait

[lusty slate]

I cleared the skiff out entirely. I'm not going to risk bugging out my main

[faint mesa]

Hopefully. I've grown fond of all my C-class fish

[shut pasture]

If I never see another stonescale shark again I'll die happy

[fickle night]

What happened? What bug?

[lusty slate]

None, I just play it safe usually

[sudden bison]

Storm 8 report: No storm fish but a legendary, because of course

[next sparrow]

guys

did you know you can put bait inside both angler rigs

and then depack them and bring them back as technology

and im thinking the bait will still be inside

[sudden bison]

Lemme try that

[next sparrow]

because i can reinstall them and bait is inside

so if this pans out it means you can save space on bringing items back

[sudden bison]

Yup you can install both rigs

[lusty slate]

But which one defaults visually?

[sudden bison]

Lost Angler

Hold on, storm 9 is here

[indigo falcon]

good luck

[next sparrow]

oh it only works with 1 bait, since the bait applies to both angler rigs

basically both angler rigs draw from the same bait cargo

[sudden bison]

Yoooo I got one just before it ended

[indigo falcon]

woo hoo!

[sudden bison]

And I got a legendary in my trap

[shut pasture]

Oh nice. I was wondering if that was possible

[indigo falcon]

it sure is. you can get even the angler in the trap apparently (other players report having doneit)

[shut pasture]

Huh

[solemn bane]

Yeah I got a couple. I noticed they start stacking up, I wonder if you could remove fish until you have 4 legendaries then only more legendaries would get caught

[indigo falcon]

only one legendary per slot. but up to 20 common fish per slot. sorry 😛

[umbral forum]

So I dropped 3 fish traps and went to play something. I came back and there is... One angler in each?

[solemn bane]

But then I thought to myself "why the hell would I want more fish anyway" lol

[shut pasture]

I assume legendaries are 1/1, the stack sizes get smaller as they get rarer

[shut pasture]

I would like to see a scree ahot of angler in a trap. That's interesting

[indigo falcon]

there might be one or two in the channel here but good luck finding them

[shut pasture]

I wouldn't like to see it that much

In a surprise tonprobably noone you can just give fish directly to cronus

[umbral forum]

I like to feed Cronus with animal pellets just because I can.

What am I supposed to do with the Angler?

It kinda sucks as bait.

[sudden bison]

Keep it

[shut pasture]

Admire it

[indigo falcon]

keep, cook, sell, release, give to a friend, whatever you like

[umbral forum]

Okay, so it doesn't have any particular use.

[indigo falcon]

nope, just a souvenir

[umbral forum]

Is it possible to fish it again?

[shut pasture]

It doesn't look like you can get it outside of the expedition so there's that

[sudden bison]

Don't think so

Dude riding the skiff over waves is crazy

[shut pasture]

Huh also fish caught in the trap do not get recorded in your catalog

[solid copper]

did they patch the multitools? just started a new expedition save and noticed the 4 square sc has gone

[solemn bane]

The funniest thing to me was limiting the fish traps to 3 per base... you know, so you wouldn't become overpowered... because of fish...

[shut pasture]

There is this similar shadow but as you can see by the snail everything you caught in other saves populates into the catalog, just with no records if you haven't caught it in that save. I'm on my main save now.

[sudden bison]

Storm 10

[shut pasture]

It's an easy source of nanites every time you visit a base. But yeah overall that seems arbitrary

[solid copper]

3 per planet, but I use glitch building to place like 10 of them, outside of water, and they still work

[solemn bane]

Oh right, planet. Just 3 per base would be overpowered. lol.

[frail gate]

Sometimes I'm getting no info (i.e. depth) when I'm fishing, Does that mean something?

[indigo falcon]

where do you even see the depth info?

[shut pasture]

Like nothing is there or you still see the temp?

[frail gate]

usually in the lower left corner of the screen

nothing is there

[indigo falcon]

huh, I haven't seen it at all, I'll look again next time I hop in the game

[shut pasture]

If there's no hazard that display disappears. It's annoying

You can make it brwifly reappear by jetpacking

[frail gate]

I'm trying to do the Lunker quest but I need to know depth

[umbral forum]

On the controller you can just use the D-pad to show it.

[indigo falcon]

oh well great, not very helpful then, since my main fishing base is on my little paradise world

[shut pasture]

Oh my god.

[indigo falcon]

oh which thing on the d pad please?

[shut pasture]

Thank you

[umbral forum]

Mine is bound to D-pad left.

[indigo falcon]

ok I'll check that out later tyvm

[shut pasture]

Oh does that work on console?

[frail gate]

any hints or wisdom for the Lunker one?

[indigo falcon]

deeper water is better. could use bait to increase size (see pins in here for some options).

[shut pasture]

Deep water and spicy chum

[next sparrow]

no deep sea gloves?

[frail gate]

👍🏼

[shut pasture]

I dropped my deep sea gloves in the ocean

😥

[umbral forum]

Does it get deeper than 99.9?

[shut pasture]

Lol see if you can dig

[umbral forum]

Seems it does.

[dense portal]

Is the Scales of Fire mission accomplished by fishing on any oceanic hot world?

[shut pasture]

No

The last rendezvous planet

[indigo falcon]

see pins for where to be for a lot of these missions, too

[dense portal]

OOOHHHH FMLLLLLL

I lost that one in a sea of other planets looking for a ocean fire world

[indigo falcon]

just go back to the r5 space station, system names are pinned in here too

[dense portal]

I uh... I never landed on it 😅

[shut pasture]

Specifically the station teleporter and the rdv systems are labeled

[indigo falcon]

well go to r4 space station then 😛

[shut pasture]

You have glyphs? I think I have the portal coords

[indigo falcon]

the glyphs are pinned in here but who's gonna have 16 glyphs from the expd

[shut pasture]

Oh yeah those are in pins

You never know

[light relic]

What is the best lure to catch message in a bottle please?

[indigo falcon]

none

[light relic]

none are any better or dont put one on?

[indigo falcon]

do not put one.

[golden forge]

So i trying to get the uncommon frozen fish milestone and it doesnt seem to be wormint or at the least i dont think im doing it right

[indigo falcon]

note that you must fish in a frozen biome and catch fish that, in the description, say they only appear in frozen biomes

[shut pasture]

Not all fish caught on frozen worlds are cold fish

[indigo falcon]

uncommon 'available everywhere' fish don't count

[golden forge]

So theres specicif frozen fish i need?

[indigo falcon]

each biome has fish that only appear there.

[golden forge]

Any suggestions for bait?

[umbral forum]

eyy got my third storm fish.

[cerulean olive]

Don’t the tooltips of bait specify what they can be used for best?

[indigo falcon]

check the pins for a bait list and see if you like any of those

[indigo falcon]

yes but it can be tedious to make them all and then check them one at a time

[cerulean olive]

You get most of them rewarded. It’s easy to check what they do

[shut pasture]

The only attraction bait effects are for night/day, storm, and legendary (and bionic may be the only one for legendary)

[indigo falcon]

not the ones in the pinned list. remember any food item can be used as bait, some are very easy to create for very big increases in chance

baits can raise rarity, making uncommon catches more likly

[cerulean olive]

Fair enough

[light relic]

I caught a legendary with a chromatic metal bait on the first planet. RNG ftw

[shut pasture]

Items made in the nutrient processor or gathered are not currently working

Only crafted bait and apparently raw fish though I can't confirm fish

[light relic]

But just cant get the 4th message bottle sighs

[indigo falcon]

how were you able to determine this?

[shut pasture]

You can try yourself. Make a stack of processed meat or seafood stew. Catch 25 or so fish with it. Then do 25 with spicy chum. The difference is obvious. Anyway I'm not the only one reporting this

[light relic]

do you have to complete the previous phase before a message bottle will span fore the current phase?

[shut pasture]

@light relic no just need the message bottle milestone active

[light relic]

ah no wonder

[indigo falcon]

the problem is that game rng can suck even from one 25 fish sequence to the next. and the reason I'm asking is because several people have reported various issues with bait but there's not firm data, it's all anecdotal 😦 someone even dug through the game files but part of the determination seems to be in the executables

[shut pasture]

No really try it

Do 50 or 100 or however many satisfies you

[light relic]

5th fish after enabling it as active mission and I got it, thanks

[bleak kelp]

just finished the expedition, hooray

it's half past one in the morning

I'm dead

[hidden shore]

How do I get the angler rig? I used my main save to do the expedition, already finished, but I can't find it to craft it, already have the base fishing rig installed

[indigo falcon]

should be in qs items under the 'create exotic items...' I think

[shut pasture]

@hidden shore multitool vendor at the anomaly

[indigo falcon]

for the lost rig?

[hidden shore]

Eos? He only has the base rig to research, already did it

[shut pasture]

I understand what you're saying from a statsitical standpoint but I'm also saying if you do a test you'll understand the statistics

[hidden shore]

the one that looks good, right? yeah

[indigo falcon]

I'd want several of us to do it for 3 rounds of 25/25 each before feeling sure enough to report it. RNG in this game is just too fickle otherwise

[shut pasture]

Okay, so do it

[indigo falcon]

yeah so qs vendor, I think it's not in the expedition claimables but the 'create exotic items' categry, double check that

[shut pasture]

I do appeeciate your skepticism

[hidden shore]

oh the weird guy with the orb

gotta check

yeah

[shut pasture]

Oh damg yeah I think apergos is right it's qs vendor

[light relic]

How do you sell your fish from skiff? far too many to xfer across to my limited exosuit and ship storage

[indigo falcon]

multiple trips

[shut pasture]

Trade rocket

[light relic]

Cant seem to find a power source or warp gate for underwater base either

[indigo falcon]

what's wrong with solar panels and batteries?

[light relic]

They dont appear in build menu

[indigo falcon]

oh, you gotta buy from the anomaly, salvaged data

you get given 30 salv data from some milestone or other near the end I think

[light relic]

If I buy them on my exp save do I get them on main?

[umbral forum]

You can buy the fuel generator tech from the deployable tech thingy.

[light relic]

ok

[vital aspen]

She aint much to look at, but she'll haul a fish or two

[shut pasture]

Nice name

[ashen shore]

Now that I'm finished the expo I appreciate the fishing more
It was dragging hard trying to finish it

[shut pasture]

Yeah it's a solid optional addition

[indigo falcon]

I think when people get fixed on tryring to complete a milestone instead of fishing for the chillax, it can mess up the experience, gievn that it's all rng basically. and the expedition is all about milestones

[shut pasture]

Completing the catalog will be tough though

At least without some guidance

[ashen shore]

The real problem is this is the second incomplete armor set
It's not as annoying as 4 bug heads no chest but wtf sean

[sudden bison]

FINALLY I CAUGHT THE LAST FISH!

Screw you RNG

[shut pasture]

Sean hates chests

[sudden bison]

That's 3 hours of my life I'll never get back

[ashen shore]

I just entered the anomaly and got a community research tier 1 complete pop up

Wtfs that about

[sudden bison]

Idk

[shut pasture]

Check your log

[ashen shore]

If I left the expo too early and missed community challenge ima be annoyed lol

[faint mesa]

Normal community research for new items in the QS shop, unrelated to the expedition

[dire mirage]

uh. what's going on here?

[indigo falcon]

oh yeah the first qs item from this round of nexus missions must be available, I forget what it is

[faint mesa]

A few posters

[shut pasture]

No this community challenge is not tied to the expo like liquidators

[dire mirage]

how do I find high temperature fish when multiple Solanium worlds have been deemed "unsuitable"? am I missing something?

[sudden bison]

Hopefully it's a poster that says screw RNG. I just caught the last storm fish

[indigo falcon]

go to r2 system planet Odeg

[ashen shore]

Damn it peaked my interest to just be three posters lol

[indigo falcon]

maybe they didn't have water

[ashen shore]

For 400 qs each

[shut pasture]

When's the last time we had twitch drops?

[indigo falcon]

previous expd/update I think, wasn't it? or was it Adrift?

[earnest wind]

I feel like I havent seen a single mercenaries guild desk this entire time and i'm about to hop to the 5th spot. Where are they hiding. I just want to give them all these transponders 😢

[sullen monolith]

Thats funny, i feel like thats all i find

[earnest wind]

LOL. the last 5 jumps have all been merchants

[faint mesa]

When Worlds pt 1 came out apparently

[ashen shore]

One guild per region

[shut pasture]

I believe guilds control entire regions of space and all/most systems in that region have the same guild

[earnest wind]

what is considered a "region"?

[sullen monolith]

Im hoping they expand guilds one day, the desks, while mroe fleshed out than previously, are still gonna hollow

[indigo falcon]

galactic region, you see that info in looking at system info in galaxy map when info is expanded

[earnest wind]

that makes more sense then though. I really never thought about it.

[shut pasture]

Dang I missed it. I usually stream and watch myself for those

[ashen shore]

I never see anything too cool on twitch drops lol

[shut pasture]

There have been some interesting ships and multitools

[faint mesa]

Sometimes they give past expedition rewards, which is nice.
I remember them giving the backpack from Pioneers... last year I think?

It's good, considering much of the current playerbase didn't catch those early expeditions

[sullen monolith]

Yea they have given some good stuff in twitch drops, i got the exotic backpack from one, and some other stuff i kinda forgot about but that was from previous expeditions

[fickle night]

Go to Syasthe system (RV2), and go to Odeg planet, the RV2 planet, it's a hot planet

[light relic]

Rather than craft more bionic lure for the Scales of Fire milestone, I can just reload restore point? it is just RNG after all

[shut pasture]

It actually seems that no lure is best for scales of fire

[digital thistle]

Not sure if this belongs here, but I didn't want to accidentally do a spoiler in help, How do add inventory slots to skiff outside expedition?

[indigo falcon]

you can't

[digital thistle]

oh

[indigo falcon]

the discrepancy is a bug, we think, please report it to hg

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[digital thistle]

Oh, ty 😮

[shut pasture]

I can forgive a lot of edge case bugs but how did they not notice that

[umbral forum]

Why do some fishes show up grayed out and some only have a silhouette?

[shut pasture]

Fish caught in traps don't have stats saved

Also discoveries are account-wide but not records so if you go to a different save you'll see the name but no stats

(For all fish you've caught)

[umbral forum]

It doesn't really answer why some fishes are grayed out.

I've never caught them in any way.

[shut pasture]

What do you mean

[umbral forum]

I've never caught any squid in any way, yet they show up as grayed out.

[shut pasture]

So either one of the cases above or a bug

[umbral forum]

So I don't understand why some are grayed out and some don't even have a name.

[shut pasture]

Report to hg

[umbral forum]

Have you caught any of those with a ??? name?

Wondering if legendaries don't show up here.

[umbral forum]

Kinda like Steam secret achievements.

[shut pasture]

Oh sorry wrong page

[umbral forum]

What's the rarity of that Twisted Gulper, for example?

[shut pasture]

Uncommon

[umbral forum]

Hm. Then I have no idea. ;9

[shut pasture]

Are you still in your expedition save?

[umbral forum]

Yes. I haven't finished it yet.

[shut pasture]

Have you done any fishing in any other saves?

[umbral forum]

Nope.

Didn't even return to my main save ever since I've started the expedition.

[shut pasture]

So i think the most likely answer is you got those in traps and just didn't notice or whatever. But it could be a bug

[sullen monolith]

There's traps?

[shut pasture]

Those being the greyed out ones

[shut pasture]

Yes look at all the milestones

[umbral forum]

Former is out of question. Latter is a possibility.

[shut pasture]

Maybe there's another method for fish to be "seen" and not recorded that I'm not aware of though

[umbral forum]

Perhaps.

[shut pasture]

But i know that trapping fish but never catching them, and catching them on a different save, will make them "seen" with no records

[umbral forum]

Did you cook any of your fish?

[shut pasture]

I've cooked a lot yes

The records list times caught though

[umbral forum]

It says zero for all grayed out here.

[shut pasture]

Yeah, traps don't count as caught and records are for that save only

[gentle verge]

Anyone else struggle bussing to catch something that is not a fish?

[fickle night]

The message in a bottle for angler message?

[gentle verge]

The one that…
miss out on a catch
Catch something that is not a fish

Phase 1 mission 6

@fickle night

[fickle night]

Ohh

You can maybe do that later, along the way you'll get a non-fish catch

You can go to phase 2 first

[umbral forum]

Just continue with the expedition. Sooner or later you'll pull some trash out of the sea.

[gentle verge]

It’s definitely aggravating me trying to hit this one chronologically lol

[fickle night]

And later you will fish a message in a bottle

[gentle verge]

Okay okay, so they overlap

[fickle night]

So it'll count

[gentle verge]

Perfect, thanks

[fickle night]

You can do the expedition without following the sequence :>

Good luck

[sly vale]

[gentle verge]

I just converted a few of my friends to purchasing NMS, threw them in here, and I was explaining how awesome, mature and helpful the community was @fickle night

You helped me out and showed them a sample of what these outlets are all about in NMS, so thank you

[shut pasture]

"Mature", tell them to ignore me

[gentle verge]

@random lichen

@sly vale

[gentle verge]

Lol you’re one of the ones that come with a disclaimer I’m guessing?

[shut pasture]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[indigo falcon]

make sure you have no bait and some junk will show up eventually

[twilit hollow]

I should sell the angler and S class fish right?

[indigo falcon]

if you want. the angler is not available in the base game so you may want to keep it as a souvenir

[twilit hollow]

It wouldn’t be brought over at somepoint?

[fickle night]

Glad that i could be of help have fun and enjoy the game

[indigo falcon]

it's not a phase or expd reward so no, you could ship it back over via the anomaly terminal (I am assuming you started the expd from an existing save)

[twilit hollow]

Yes, I just didn’t know if it would be worth doing that since it would get converted as credits from what I read but like you said I could have it as a souvenoir

[indigo falcon]

that's my plan. otoh I am a huge hoarder 😄

[fickle night]

Same, im also a hoarder

I kept all of my fish at least 1 of each xD

Hmm, btw, i just had an idea, ytd i said big aquarium to put fish will be good, but but what if, the Aquarium is like Cuboid Room so can have a whole floor of aquarium

[twilit hollow]

Yea like I feel like that’s something that we should be able to do with our catches

[fickle night]

time to submit the idea to HG

[indigo falcon]

yes please. want aquairum display and fishing hat like the one on the skiff

[twilit hollow]

And be able to control our skiffs instead of that slow summoning

[fickle night]

yeah same, im dissapointed cant drive the skiff 😭

i imagine it to be like speedboat or smthing

[twilit hollow]

I want to keep the angles diary but I don’t have space

[twilit hollow]

You can kinda move it by going into that summoning and just place it where you want it to go and it’ll slowly move there

[indigo falcon]

yeah I have expd souvenirs split over several saves (well of course we couldn't run them from existing saves until recently)

[twilit hollow]

This is my first expedition, I feel like it’s beginner friendly

[indigo falcon]

it's one of the more laid back ones, with fishing being new for everyone, so being a new player isn't much of an obstacle

[twilit hollow]

So do I end this save then or can I still swap stuff in between once I complete it?

[indigo falcon]

there's a trick to be able to swap things back and forth as long as you switch to the main save via the menu and not the anomaly terminal I think

[fickle night]

hmm.. so, we have exotic plant decoration, for fish is it better to name it as "decorative animal" in Exotic Decorations... ?

[twilit hollow]

So I just quite to mode select with both? Would it work since I started from nexus?

[indigo falcon]

there's a post in here with details about how to do it, at least I think in here, you'll have to search. I don't want to guide you wrong, since I've never tried multiple transfers back

[earnest wind]

And with that I've completed my very first Expedition 😄

I'm shocked that last phase went so quickly.

[dire mirage]

ok what's up with this expedition? I've seen like a dozen bases with absolutely nothing there, not even a base computer

[quaint raft]

So did the expedition end early?

[indigo falcon]

does save-reload clear it up?

[quaint raft]

I logged back in today and the mission log said go back to the anomaly because it was done

[dire mirage]

didn't save reload on each individual one I came across, but I've saved and reloaded several times, and keep seeing more empty bases

[indigo falcon]

that sounds like something broken to me, is ods connected for you?

[dire mirage]

it's said yes every time so far

[indigo falcon]

dang. yeah I dunno. buglet, report if yo ulike

it's probably good if you can give an example "here's my ods connected, here's the base in the teleporter, here's the actual base, here it is still after save-reload" like that

[balmy pagoda]

what's the radius of an existing base? Trying to complete Child of the Sea and I keep getting message I can't build because it's within an existing base, but IDK now to tell if there's nearby ones

[twilit hollow]

Should I keep the rare fish or just the legendary fish?

[indigo falcon]

300u

[turbid folio]

in regards to the expedition and finishing it, whats the optional objective? The nexus missions thing?

[earnest wind]

300u radius from their base computer.

[ashen shore]

is there a new expedition or are we talking about aquaris ?

[earnest wind]

I usually look at the base icons and just… move away until I read at least 300u away from everyone else. Well. More like >1000u because I’m a hermit who doesn’t want neighbors.

[ashen shore]

@earnest wind thats a shame as im sure you are a great neighbor

[indigo falcon]

there re no optional ones for this expedition

[fickle night]

Aquarius update has new expedition ongoing rn

[earnest wind]

LOL. I just have anxiety. I barely know what I’m doing and usually just play solo. I finally did my first nexus mission though! 😄

[turbid folio]

sweet thank you :) just wanted to make sure i could safely finish

[balmy pagoda]

how can I filter/see which ones are nearby from the scanner? I'm at that planet where 3rd destination is and there's bases all over from other people :/

[dire mirage]

the final message in a bottle, is there a specific spot you have to do it in? I'm in the exact same spot as "the angler's final spot"

[indigo falcon]

go to any body of water on r5 planet

[earnest wind]

Best bet- go somewhere else lol.

[dire mirage]

actually you sending that message literally immediately triggered me getting the message. thank you 😛

oh no. there's ONE MORE thing to fish up lol

[balmy pagoda]

Thanks I wish they had a radius detector or something when you're holding the base computer so it will show a bubble or something showing any oother bases nearby if you're in thier zone

[earnest wind]

That would be helpful instead of just guesstimating. Especially with all these people all building 🤣 I tried to just get the message in a bottle and then I leave that planet and go somewhere quieter.

[dire mirage]

for the last one ||Scales of Fire||, is it ok to not use bait?

[indigo falcon]

sure, I didn't use any

[earnest wind]

I got it by accident immediately after the message without even trying. No bait.

[hexed bison]

yeah I did not use bait for that one.

[dire mirage]

nice

uh. how do I get this chest

[indigo falcon]

report the base blocking you from terrain edits

[earnest wind]

Oh. Didn’t know that earlier lol.

[dire mirage]

....it's invisible too. save and reload doesn't fix it. :\

[indigo falcon]

don't use that for your bug report, find some other one I would say, not at a rend. point

[dire mirage]

rend. point?

[indigo falcon]

rendezvous point

way to go making me type out the whole word there 😛

[dire mirage]

where else can you find the trident chests?

[indigo falcon]

submerged ruins generally

[blazing fossil]

Quick reminder that cooked bait appears to be broken and not give the proper buffs

[valid roost]

Right bit of a stupid question this is but what's up with the glyphs in the anglers diary?

[blazing fossil]

Pretty sure they’re just the glyphs for the next rendezvous planet

[hexed bison]

that's what I heard.

[sacred mirage]

I keep getting C fish why??

[blazing fossil]

Are you using bait to increase rarity?

[sacred mirage]

Oh i changed my position and it ended

I got near 15 C fish continuously 💀

[umbral forum]

The cold storage has only 10 slots on the normal save?

[indigo falcon]

if you start from an existing save, yes. new saves will have the larger amount. this is a bug, please report it to hg

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

welp I guess the Nautilus will finally see some use as an ersatz cold storage.

[blazing dock]

"Hot planet"
"No suitable scorched worlds"

[elfin sleet]

you're looking for the torid planet along the expedition route

[ionic karma]

Can you put stuff into lures

[jagged sedge]

You can use the lures you've made, and even food items - the fish w/ rice gives some nice stats

[meager scroll]

Just becase it the correct biome does not mean it will have water so you can do fishing

RV2 is a scorched biome planet, RV3 is frozen one

[ionic karma]

Made a storm lure but it not attaching storm fish

[meager scroll]

Starter system has a radioactive biome planet for another milestone

[ionic karma]

Made a storm lure but it not attaching storm fish

[jagged sedge]

The lures just increase the chance, it will still take multiple casts

That's why it's called 'fishing' , not 'catching'

[ionic karma]

I know but I was trying to catch one all night

[blazing dock]

Yeah I travelled a long way back to Syasthe to reach a hot biome

[meager scroll]

hmmm anyone else having no luck with getting the last Message in a Bottle?

[blazing dock]

Gotta get lucky I guess, fished up a lot of fish before I got a bottle

[lusty slate]

The RNG can be lousy. Took me about 20 catches for that one myself.

[meager scroll]

really?

All the other MitB were 1st try catch for me

[blazing dock]

Me too, but apparently not for the last one for me

[meager scroll]

All righty then, will try again later, thanks for the input

[ionic karma]

Done

[gentle verge]

If anyone has a salvaged frigate module to spare on their expedition save, please @ me

You’d skyrocket this file for me with just a slice, thanks in advance. You guys are awesome

[blazing dock]

I finally finished the expedition, good lord it's GOOD

[mighty oriole]

Does anyone have a list of all the baits?

Can't find one in the wiki

[gentle verge]

Awesome!

[meager scroll]

posted in #nms-spoilers

[gentle verge]

I lost my 1,200 hour file, but this expedition had such a strong RNG for me it’s the best file I’ve had in a year

Gonna be my new main save for sure

[verbal mauve]

any advice for catching teh 100kg

[gentle verge]

Some baits increase size and rarity greatly

[gentle verge]

Definitely check here @verbal mauve

[mighty oriole]

Where?

[meager scroll]

#nms-spoilers message

[hoary harbor]

Cannot find 100kg water creature☹️

Its annoyingly preventing me from completing the expedition

[ashen shore]

Just because I want a storm none are occurring

[rose veldt]

To fish?

[meager scroll]

Wasn't the milestone about scanning an underwater creature over 100kg?

[rose veldt]

Well , .. You don't have to actually Catch

Just scan it... There are 2-4 underwater creatures, can't find it in one planet? Do to another

[meager scroll]

If so, starter system, radioactive planet has one type that worked for me

[verbal mauve]

sooo for the 100kg mission u only gotta scan one not catch one

[hoary harbor]

Yeah i was scanning them

But i cant find one scanning

[gentle verge]

Just one bump on the long shot before I move on to a different objective

Thanks guys and gals

[slender chasm]

Loving the expedition - much more than was expected.

[inner flame]

This expedition has been wonderful! I started a new save so everything from scratch and I am so glad that I did. I found a S class freighter and got it for free, I found a bubbling planet that was STUNNING, built an underwater base for the first time, got 2 really cool looking companions whilst travelling and learned an easy way to recharge my tech / life support. I didnt think I would finish an entire expedition, especially in just 2 DAYS but yeah this was set up very well and was worth doing it. Fishing is not something I usually care for in game but this has actually been a lot of fun !

[gentle verge]

This was a really great event, love seeing everyone else is enjoying it as well

[ashen shore]

cannot get a fish that comes out in a storm only to save my life and or storms will just occur when i need 1

[wintry void]

It is? I thought it was worst 1 ever

[meager scroll]

IMO it's quite nice

Polestar was the worst

[blazing dock]

It's good to me
The worst one ever for me is the permadeath one, and even then it's quite nice too

[wintry void]

I thought last 1 was worst, but this 1 is even more pointless/boring

[meager scroll]

The last one was "meh alright I see the Helldivers vibe", the only real complaint for me was that encrypted milestone that was shit

[wintry void]

My issue with last is cause I farm sentinels anyway in normal, so to have an expedition of that was nothing special to me

[pliant flower]

I personally like this expedition because in general I like laid back styles of gameplay, last expedition I was severely out of my element

[verbal mauve]

litterlly just come to the chat to say the exact same thingg

[wintry void]

My issue with fishing in general, it doesnt add anything to game apart from fishing for sake of it. If it gave nanites or units on par with other methods, then fair enough or some other boost or something elsewhere, but it doesnt

[meager scroll]

If it gave nanites

It freaking does

It's borderline broken how much nanites it generates

[candid fossil]

Erm it does give nanites..

[pliant flower]

It does?

[meager scroll]

Releasing fish back into the water gives you nanite reward

[pliant flower]

Since when

[meager scroll]

Since it was added

[wintry void]

I didnt say it doesnt, its just alot worse than farming sentinels or buying outlaw stuff

[meager scroll]

Over 1k nanites for releasing a bunch of C class fish

[wintry void]

250 for a legendary is pants

[meager scroll]

This is why it's about quantity, not quality

Anyone can get into fishing early on and have a good nanite farming method

[pliant flower]

Legendary fish are way to easy to get in my opinion I’ve caught like 6 with only mealworm bait

[meager scroll]

I had like 3 or 4 so far on exped

And I didnt really use anything other than the bait rewarded by milestone (not crafted)

And Processed Meat, that is also too good for what it does IMO

[pliant flower]

I like this expedition cuz it got me to do something I never did, making an underwater base

[wraith junco]

I like water biome more now. Only thing left is more water biome variety and depth limit.

[pliant flower]

Yeah

[wraith junco]

And i will move my main base underwater

[pliant flower]

I literally just mined down for the 50 depth milestone

[wraith junco]

Underwater point of intrest are easy 50u+ depth spots for fishing

[wintry void]

I think it might mean that no further water/ocean update coming, as you would of thought they would of kept this expedition till then

unless they gonna have some sort of under water expedition

[pliant flower]

I’m hopeful they might

But then the cosmetic rewards would be better placed in that one

[astral storm]

Finished the expedition already. One of the important spoils...

The useless pre-packaged Hyperdrive. Just because.

[echo schooner]

Any special way to catch enormous fish

[astral storm]

I want to cautiously say they're more common deep water...?

Bait can also affect it

[stable sundial]

Probably one of the easier requirements. Just happens to you while chasing the other special fish cause you can get them anywhere

[echo schooner]

Whats the best bait for it

[gusty ingot]

I keep falling off of my exoraft while fishing cause the dynamic waves flip it over

Its getting annoying

[winged orchid]

You can fish on your ship

[gusty ingot]

Ye but on exoraft i can quickly access the storage to remove the fish from my inventory

[winged orchid]

Your ship has an inventory

[gusty ingot]

Its full

Plus exoraft one is bigger

2 boxes with 60 slots

[winged orchid]

Fish on the ship, go to the skiff when you’re full and deposit?

[meager scroll]

So long and thanks for all the fish!

[terse spindle]

After completing the expedition, does the skiff cold storage get reduced to 10, or is that a bug?

[meager scroll]

It's not getting reduced

New saves created after the update dropped (including exped saves) get 60 slots on the skiff

Old saves created before the update and getting the skiff get 10 slots

It's a bug HG needs to fix

[woeful niche]

Somewhere along the way I ended up with two exosuit techs that are "permanently damaged" but they cannot be repaired. Are they good for anything?

[fleet folio]

Do they mention something about water damage or similar? If so, then you fished them up. I'd advise selling them to a tech merchant on a station for whatever they're worth in nanites... or install then scrap them for the materials, as the few I've found of these things make me want low quality illegal modules

[woeful niche]

Yes, that is what they are. Just wanted to make sure they were not important.

The only other thing that happened during the expedition that I don't really understand was I pulled up the following message and couldn't figure out what it means.

[stable sundial]

Is there a popular planet where it's always storming I could visit?

Cause these storm fish are grinding my gears

[woeful niche]

I installed the hyperdrive that lets you go to blue star systems, and found planets with with Activated Indium. They have extreme storms. I fished during extreme storms with the storm-fish bait and got them pretty quickly

[ashen shore]

Driving me mad too. Storms seem to stop when I land or if they do occur I get nothing

[stable sundial]

How do you get that? I'm new to the game in general

[fleet folio]

Buy the BP for nanites on the Anomaly, then install it on your ship

[quartz sorrel]

There's a boggy planet in the Rendezvous 4 system that has regular storms on it, that's where I completed the Storm Fish. There are Storm Crystals on the surface that indicate Storms are likely to happen more often than not.

As an aside, I did reload a restore point after a Storm where I didn't catch any storm fish. It didn't restart the storm, but I did get my lost bait back.

[eternal cedar]

Open the menu you'd use to spawn it, aim somewhere else and press the button you use to spawn it

It'll slowly move to that location.

[mental geyser]

What bait did you use?

[eternal cedar]

got 2 legendaries in expedition, the last fish and the nautila one

Can't believe i said out loud "watch me get it first try"

[eternal cedar]

It's an alien language word

Not sure what it means but yeah

[quartz sorrel]

Salty Fingers, made by murdering marine life with a mining beam.

[mental geyser]

Ewwwww

🫠

[eternal cedar]

i got real luckyin the expedition

Got about 6 mill credits for demanding tribute from a dreadnought

[gentle verge]

If anyone on an expedition compatible file has any tainted metal, runaway mold, or salvaged frigate modules- you would be my hero for the next few hundred hours I put on this save file!

Thanks again guys

See Pins in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam

[green bane]

is there storm bait?

[bleak kelp]

yeah I got a pirate dreadnought encounter once, and a regular post-warp pirate attack encounter like three damn times

[bleak kelp]

no

you just gotta wait for a storm

[green bane]

👍

[eternal cedar]

there is

[bleak kelp]

what

[eternal cedar]

Wait does shanks mean increasing chances of storm

Or bait specifically for increasing chance of storm fish during storms?

The latter is a magpulse lure

[bleak kelp]

I think he means bait specifically for storm fishing

[green bane]

i meant the latter

[limpid swift]

there is

[bleak kelp]

what

[eternal cedar]

yeah its a magpulse lure

[bleak kelp]

okay my bad then

I had never encountered that

[eternal cedar]

build em using antimatter iirc and other stuff

[bleak kelp]

do you have to go out of your way at all to get the plans for it?

[shrewd onyx]

That bait (you get 20) needs 1 magnetic resonator, 1 metal plating, 90 tritium.

[bleak kelp]

I misspoke

evidently there is bait for that

[shrewd onyx]

Plans for that and other bait are a milestone reward.

[green bane]

righteous. i'll try to get it

thank you

last milestone 🤞

[bleak kelp]

it's very unlike me not to notice that, thanks for correcting

[green bane]

ah i found it. y'all rock!

[rough portal]

so how do expeditions work, is it just a mini save within my actual save or smth

[green bane]

you can start from the anomaly in your main save. and take items and upload your ship and multitool to get later with nanites

or you can start a new save and it'll just have all the items you get available at the anomaly

i recommend going from your main save. feels less convoluted to me

Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players ( ) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

[limpid swift]

Good question, but this is for #nms-spoilers

Also does anyone have screenschots of the 5 bottles? the glyphs

[frail gate]

is 30m not deep enough to catch giant fish?

[fickle night]

oh, the community reward is not free when it's unlocked

[green bane]

the rumore has it needs to be over 50, which has checked out for me

[frail gate]

Darn, that's not easy to find

[green bane]

also if you fish where the 5th expedition waypoint is, it's like 60+

i had gotten mine on the previous planet then caught three colossal fish just trying to get the bottle and mission objectives lol

[upbeat torrent]

isn't there an extreme planet to fish on?

[fickle night]

it's okay to complete expe right now? cuz the community reward is not connected to it

[limpid swift]

try 50u

[green bane]

what happens if you release the angler?

[fleet steeple]

do we get an aquarium? cause I caught myself a turtle and I need this in my life!!!

[fickle night]

we got small aquarium, but cant put fish there

the fish are default from the system

[fleet steeple]

😭

[fickle night]

i already make suggestion to HG about having a bigger aquarium and we can put fish there

!hg

[fleet steeple]

Good man, or let me turn my turtle into a pet

[fickle night]

i suggested of aquarium room with concept like cuboid room :3 imagine having whole floor as aquarium

[opal glade]

lots of nanites

more than usual by my approximation

[fleet folio]

Yes, it is. This one isn't like the last one, where some of the milestones were tied to community progress; everything in this expedition is achievable solo with no internet connection (assuming you can do the expedition without a 'net connection, that is)

[modern fulcrum]

Where I found big fishs in no mans sky ??? Anyone knows ?

How deep is sea to find this big fishs ? Im stuck in this mission 😥

Hot water fishs ? Where find ? Big and colossal fishs I found in 70u of deep sea

[upbeat torrent]

rendezvous 5 planet

[fickle night]

uhm ??? why i only have 10 storage on Primary Save

[hearty tundra]

Alright 3 days straight and still not a single storm fish

Switch version must be broken

[gaunt fern]

mag pulse lures?

[hearty tundra]

Yeah I’ve used about 150 of them so far

And only during storms

[wraith junco]

[hearty tundra]

All storms. Extreme ,fire,ice,shallow water deep water. Game must be broken. No one’s luck is this bad lol

[frail gate]

Any wisdom on catching the Angler's final fish?

[gaunt fern]

stay on that planet

[verbal mauve]

stay on teh final planet and use bionical lure wont take too long

[frail gate]

Ahh, okay I was using spicy chum

[gaunt fern]

should be okay with that too. bionics are hard to make

[frail gate]

I got it, Thanks!

NOw for the storm ones.

[verbal mauve]

good luck

[winged bloom]

I'm in the teleport terminal because under the exhibition tab it says the terminal can teleport you to the rendezvous site but I cannot find it

I gotta go back and catch the bottle, didn't realize I had to be in that exact spot

[gaunt fern]

not under exhibition tab, just go to a normal teleporter and pick the station that says rdv x, which number you are looking for, go there, fly to the planet. fish. profit

[winged bloom]

I'm in the same system, I just have no idea how to get back to the rendezvous point, I know which planet, I have to be there to catch the message in a bottle

[gaunt fern]

as long as you are on the planet it should be fine. should be a billion communication things to guide you

[winged bloom]

Alright, thanks

[boreal violet]

The problem with the aquarium is that all the fish in the new update have no 3d models just a picture.

[gentle verge]

Lol well

Progressive development has been the name of the game since launch, for better and worse

I trust this dev team more than any other though. They dropped the ball, and picked it up- one update at a time

[winged bloom]

For the scales of fire mission, do I just fish until I catch something or is there a specific thing I gotta do?

[pine hull]

For the storm fish, do extreme storms count?

[lusty slate]

Nope, that's it

[winged bloom]

Got it, thanks

[lusty slate]

It's RNG. Might take 6 catches, might take 60

[winged bloom]

Yea I'm doing that and the storm fish, I'm like 40 casts in and got nothin

[lusty slate]

Took me personally about 30 minutes to get Scales of Fire

[winged bloom]

So I have to fish on the planet that I caught the message in a bottle or can it be any planet?

[lusty slate]

Has to be rendezvous 5.

For Scales of Fire.

For storm fish, any planet with storms will do

[pine hull]

I’ve fished through two extreme storms with magpulse and gotten nothing. Maybe my luck just went bad idk

[lusty slate]

It's all RNG. Some got them fast, some haven't

[upbeat torrent]

the shitty thing is how much rng it is. you could literally fish for one achievement and get 5 others, but not the one you wanted / needed

greeeeat i load in, "weather update: storm clearing". not now, game!

[fickle night]

nooooooo the glyph is gone when i move it to Primary Save 😭

i want to use portal to go there 😭

[tired condor]

Yeah what do they lead to?

[fickle night]

i dont know 😭

i wanted to try to go there

but glyph is gone 😭

[upbeat torrent]

first message

[orchid cave]

So they aren't the same glyphs as the rendezvous planets?

[upbeat torrent]

they are, the glyphs match the first address in the pinned messages.

[lusty slate]

The glyphs are just the rendezvous planets

[fickle night]

ohhh

that's good to hear then

thankyouuu

[lusty slate]

Yeah, nothing special

[tired condor]

I caught a legendary snail, says it’s worth 50k, what’s the best thing to do with it? When I cook things the value goes up a lot, but seems like maybe it just cooks to the same cooked snails as a common? Anyone suggestions? I could use some credits

[indigo falcon]

if you need the units, I'd sell as is, any legendary fish

[tired condor]

That’s the best use for them?

[mild valley]

hi i have some problems to get 3 fish who appears only during a storm anyone can tell me if automatic trap can help for this ?

[meager scroll]

No, you think to catch them with the fishing rod I think

[orchid cave]

I have a lot of fish in my cold storage and I've just finished the last milestone of the expedition. I started this expedition from an existing save. Does it make sense to try to release them all before ending the expedition for more nanites earned, or will they be tallied up when I end the expedition?

[tired condor]

You’ll probably get units for them if anything

Nanites only come from releasing, it’s not what they’re “worth”

I’d release, can never have enough nanites

[meager scroll]

Yup, release to get nanites to transfer over to primary save

[orchid cave]

thanks!

[glad vortex]

Hey so for the fresh sell fish milestone is it wanted just raw fish or processed?

[tired condor]

Fresh

Raw

[twilit hollow]

Can you still catch rare and legendary fish outside of the expeditition? Wasn’t sure if they were locked behind it

[eternal cedar]

The final fish you catch for the expedition?

Use a biotic lure

i got it first try doing that

its designed specifically to boost legendary catch rates

[winged bloom]

I've used 25 biotic lures and have only caught 1 legendary fish, the other one I caught with no bait, still no luck

Making them is an absolute pain in the ass so I'm not doin it again

Thanks though

[dense portal]

I feel bad for you fam, i got 2 legendaries without any lures

[winged bloom]

Ive gone through 60 of the storm lures during super storms and still haven't gotten a storm fish yet either, everything else is done besides those 2

[mild valley]

exactly what happen to me since yesterday rng for fishing is awful

[sly vale]

Honestly bro, I think each planet has different rates and types of fish - just jump to another planet or system and try your fishing rod there

I didn’t have too much difficulty finding the legendary, just kept planet hopping

[winged bloom]

I have 2 planets for the storm fish but the scales of fire mission fish has to be done on the planet that you caught the bottle

Atleast that's what I was told

[sly vale]

For the uncommon fiery fish?

That’s one of the few I’m still doing, got 4/7 - if it’s that same mission, it does not have to be on a specific planet, just any kind of fiery planet

[winged bloom]

I don't know what rarity it is, it's the phase 5 mission Scales of fire, I was told you catch that fish on the rendezvous 5 planet

[mild valley]

im at my second planet with super storm to get storm fish and after used almost 40 lure for storm fish i have get nothing

[winged bloom]

I haven't any trouble catching any other fish, just the ones I'm on now

[sly vale]

Yeah bro just find another planet honestly, sounds like that planet has terrible RnG for the fish

I’d be pretty upset if I spent that long looking to

[mild valley]

if you mean fire scale i have spend almost 60/70 try or lure to get it

[winged bloom]

Yea, I can't catch that or the storm fish, I haven't even caught 1 storm fish.

Making the bionic lures and not even catching a single legendary with them made me get off, I'll try again later or tomorrow

[fickle night]

on RV4 sytem, there's an Activated Copper planet, it has frequent storm going on

[boreal violet]

I copied some with refiner glitch after going through same

[mild valley]

can you tell me if these storm have a duration of five minute ? because i’m looking for a very long of possible

[winged bloom]

I didn't know there was any dupe glitches

[boreal violet]

Place a refiner down and put a item in left slot of refiner then place another refiner over the top of 1st refiner almost in same place then deconstruct both.

The 2nd refiner will act as if your item was also inside it giving you x2 back. (Works with multiple refiners)

[winged bloom]

gotcha, well im not sure i am gonna go through the work of making more lures but thanks for the heads up

[livid kayak]

I am STRUGGLING to fish up scorch world fishies

Is there a bait that helps with these flaming fish?

[mild valley]

im at rv4 system the planet that you mean is a cold one ?

[fickle night]

i think so?

[mild valley]

seriously ?

[fickle night]

i forgot

i only remember it has Act Copper

wait lemme go back to expedition

[fickle night]

this one

Boggy Planet

[mild valley]

ok thanks

[fickle night]

npnp

[mild valley]

lol there are a base named "3 storm fish" maybe it’s a good spot i will take a look on it

[graceful cobalt]

nah but i need da hot ones too... any plan please?

[livid kayak]

But I need the fire planet ones, unless those count for storm and fire fish

This one

[mild valley]

if remember well i have do that task in RV 2 system or maybe the starter system

[graceful cobalt]

seconde it is for hot fish i guess

[boreal violet]

Iirc you have the mission selected in log, use a hot planet & add a bait that increases %

Rendezvous 2 planet a lot used

[livid kayak]

Seems silly other fire planets do not count but I'll port back to R2 and try there

[indigo falcon]

rend 2 planet is good for hot fish, see pins

other scorched worlds will count too if they have water. anything with solanium resource

[median sparrow]

If I started the expedition from my main save and claim some expedition rewards IE a ship, does that remove the ability to claim it when I switch over back to my main save?

[ashen shore]

We should of got docks with this update lol

Or them circle things atleast that float
