nms-expedition

[dusk stirrup]

it should have 60 slots

[gaunt fern]

random continuous casts. not just storms

[gaunt fern]

200 spicy chum on haunted world. its an extreme storm world. managed 7 storm fish (lower right) in the process

[fickle night]

Is it worth it to Copy the expedition hauler ship? Or can get that ship on primary save?

[indigo falcon]

don't copy, ugh. it's a stinker, honestly

[devout echo]

in rendezvous five I located the anglers final spot. In the angler rests step in the log, it says “instantly return to any rendezvous site from any teleport terminus“ does anyone know what that means? I can’t seem to find the rendezvous site from the teleport terminus.

[gaunt fern]

fish at the rdv 5 planet

[devout echo]

Yeah, but if I wanted to go back to that original spot, is it possible if I didn’t mark it?

[gaunt fern]

all the systems should be easy to tell in a teleporter on a station

[indigo falcon]

the actual spot? no but you don't meed to either

huh, I can interact with autotraps placed by other players at their base (on other planets where I didn't put any), that's interesting

I didn't actually take the fish but did find it curious

[wooden onyx]

pirate!!!

[marble crow]

Is there any bait that increases Storm fish chances?

[indigo falcon]

magpulse lures. (the cooked baits appear to be broken so this is your only known working option)

[marble crow]

ooh, how do i get/craft em

[fleet folio]

Craft them in your inventory

You get the BPs for them from one of the earlier milestones

[balmy pagoda]

For Fresh Sell Fish Milestone assuming no way to somehow directly sell from the skuff? I've only 40k out of 500k sold, have to start clearing out some inventory space in my Exo otherwise then and selling all the rares. I'd hate to get back to space station and realize I didn't pack enough fish up.

[neat mica]

!runtime

I am stupid

What's the command to check the expedition length

[indigo falcon]

you'll need to transfer to exosuit/ship inv, then go to the nearest space station (or trading post) and sell

[neat mica]

Thanks lol

[indigo falcon]

plenty of time left for this chill fishing trip

[neat mica]

I'll probally get started on it later today or tomorrow

[indigo falcon]

there's lots of good pins in here to help you, if you get stuck

[balmy pagoda]

Yeah I figured, I'm on Cayett Major, will look for a nearby TP

[umbral shell]

Probably asked a lot, but should you ||release the Angler?||

[polar bone]

WAITING FOR A STORM

oops caps

[ashen shore]

Nah keep thr caps, storm fish rng sucks

Good luck

[indigo falcon]

it's up to you. you can keep as a souvenir, release, cook and eat, whatever you like.

[polar bone]

the second I go back to my main save I'll get nonstop storms

[umbral shell]

Gotcha. I like that sorta little decision. I released. I like playing vegetarian

Thanks!

[dawn nimbus]

hmm is fishing up a message in a bottle random

[umbral shell]

Felt so to me. I spent a real long time trying to get the first one and then the times got increasingly shorter to pull it up

[polar bone]

one must imagine storms

it's been almsot an hour and I had one

in which the fish just decided to not bite?

[dawn nimbus]

hmmm

I did fish it up in the end

[balmy pagoda]

Finally finsihed the expedition but I can't figure out how to apply the deep see helmet? is it supposed to auto apply when you go underwater if you have the other items on? I didnt see it in the appearance modifier.

[balmy pagoda]

Only options I see for head type

[marble crow]

It's a helmet, part of the Anomaly armor set I think

Anomaly Race, sorry

[balmy pagoda]

Yeah I hardly ever play that race, just tried with a few others and no helmet options, so I guess they only have helmets

[marble crow]

Well that's where the deep sea helmet be, methinks

[fickle night]

Already claimed it in Quicksilver merchant?

[wooden onyx]

i think the expe rewards are available for all races. actually, races do not matter

[marble crow]

ah hadnt tested that out, good to know

[alpine topaz]

What do u guys do after the expedition? Like it's still a season based event right, so no way to start another others?

[wanton frigate]

You can either go play the regular game, hang around in the expedition building helpful resources for the people coming after you or start it again on a new save. You can't play the older expeditions at will, if you missed one/some you have to wait and see if it gets a re-run over the christmas period. They usually run cut-down versions of the expeditions from the preceding year, with about a week to finish them, but last year they did a rerun of an older one too.

[restive charm]

hey guys, logged in today to be notified that the expedition has ended and to return to main save. I thought this would run for longer, am i missing something? only reached phase 3

[indigo falcon]

it runs a few more weeks

try exit-reload

[restive charm]

that is weird then... didn't let me do any more missiones so i actually claimed what i had and returned to main

[indigo falcon]

oh

yeah a bug of some sort

[finite rover]

so. just to be clear: to sell the fish I gotta put them in my suit/ship inventory?

[wintry void]

Probably

[finite rover]

that's really irritating if so

[indigo falcon]

Fixed an issue that caused the Exo-Skiff's inventory to be too small on pre-existing saves. <-- latest experimental on steam!

[finite rover]

woo

[indigo falcon]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/4751949102177895811/ full notes

The Exo-Skiff now protects against environmental hazards. <-- ALSO from the notes, wow

[finite rover]

so no more tipping over in storms? :)

[indigo falcon]

Fixed an issue that caused some food products used as fishing bait to generate incorrect values. <-- some bait fixes

[indigo falcon]

I wouldn't bet on that. but at least we might not need hazard protection unless we fall out 😄

[finite rover]

ahh. cos I have a love hate relationship with that so I wasn't sure how to react :)

[dusk stirrup]

Fixed an issue that caused "This is the mission subtitle" to appear as the mission subtitle for community research missions.

Lolol

[indigo falcon]

yep there's a post on reddit memorializing that bug forever 😄

[finite rover]

oh wtf. getting -ve rates on mah fish!

[indigo falcon]

getting what now?

[finite rover]

negative percentages to fish prices.

[indigo falcon]

oh... yeah go to a system not on the route and sell to a pilot

[finite rover]

good pt

[indigo falcon]

players selling at the space station terminal I guess

[finite rover]

stuffs you up even if you play single player?

[indigo falcon]

yeah it impacts the economy

[finite rover]

poo

gonna try 3 times outside of the normal routes and if things don't improve just say snog-it

440k just from selling green fish.

aaaaaand done

[dusk stirrup]

You can release them back to the water for nanites too

[finite rover]

nanites I get from scanning critters

[dusk stirrup]

A and b class fish are a couple hundred a pop. Very lucrative

[molten rune]

Guys can u tell me how can i complete fins of thunder? I was in like 6-8 storms, been on like 3 planets and used tons of magpuls lures and still no progress

[finite rover]

wow

um.

I just did it. sorry. the rng gods may have a beef with toy

[sleek talon]

isn't the skiff meant to protect you from the environment?

I'm standing on a frozen planet and the bar is still going down

[mental geyser]

Welcome to the club. I’m in the same boat, so to speak.

[wraith junco]

Planet with storm. Storm lures. Check if the fish description mentions deep or shallow water. Pray to rng gods

[finite rover]

it's a leaky skiff. would not recommend spending 6 months on it

[sleek talon]

not impressed

I'm gonna need a bigger skiff

[finite rover]

coming in an update

[wraith junco]

Im also hunting for legendary storm manta. Like few days in a row.

[molten rune]

Thanks

[finite rover]

wow. got 12k nanites from critters scanning

[mental geyser]

I’m waiting for the update to hit the Switch. Patch notes mention catch rates so I hope for better odds.

[molten rune]

I hope this help us 😄 im switch player too

[finite rover]

woo! mission complete :)

[warm ice]

im having trouble catching 3 storm fish is there a certain type of strom i need to find?

[molten rune]

Welcome to club

[mental geyser]

Read the past couple of minutes above. A common discussion

[warm ice]

yeah i used all my storm lures and storm catching food still nothin

[mental geyser]

What platform?

[warm ice]

steam

[mental geyser]

As I understand it it’s just a RNG thing. Nothing to do but hope they make it better

[warm ice]

yeah rng doesnt like us

[sleek talon]

I got 4 frozen uncommon fish in a row and it's now been 30 mins and still no 5th one :/

Rnjebus is Rnjebus

there we go

25% left on hazard protection 😄

[finite rover]

Thoughts and prayers, ppl. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fortune_deities :)

[warm ice]

two more fish to go and expedition complete

[left pivot]

that 7 uncommon catches on a hot planet was such a huge hangup for me. went to nearly a dozon systems to find a wet hot planet then the fishing process was rng cursing me.

[sleek talon]

yeah that took ages, also it's weird that the number required of fishes are different numbers. why 7 when irradiated are only 4 needed

[indigo falcon]

too late now but odeg (r2 planet) has you covered for that milestone. anyone else looking, planets for where to do various milestones are in the "where do I..." pin in here.

[left pivot]

its ok, I am past that now. I rather explore myself. Aquarious is going to take longer than Adrift and Liqid, which is ok but interesting to find out.

[indigo falcon]

liquidators was pretty quick as far as expeditions go, usually they take longer

[left pivot]

both hit around 11 hours for me. Aqua might end up around 13

I never did any older expeditions

[indigo falcon]

look for Omega to be rerun in December, it's not guaranteed but usually they rerun the year's expeditions at the end of the year

[signal shadow]

how do i get my stored items back?

[indigo falcon]

stored at the anomaly terminal from the main save, to transfer to the expedition save, do you mean, or something else?

[signal shadow]

the items

[indigo falcon]

if it's that, you need to go to the anomaly terminal on the expedition version of the save and interact with it, to get the items. you can get to the anomaly after your first system warp

[signal shadow]

thanks sir

[indigo falcon]

(not a sir but you're welcome anyhow :-D)

[signal shadow]

my bad sorry

how do i cook fish?

[indigo falcon]

put them in the nutrient processor, you get he blueprint for that from a milestone

[gaunt fern]

using spicy chum... on an extreme planet with lots of storms. 100 casts. 6 storm fish.

[indigo falcon]

good you only needed 3!

[gaunt fern]

at some point I will make 100 maglures and try that out.

[indigo falcon]

they are supposed to be better. I think I got it done in between 20 and 30 casts for 3 fish, but that's not a huge improvement

[gaunt fern]

right and I'm not doing storm fishing specifically. just ice fishing.

[indigo falcon]

oic

[gaunt fern]

waiting for storms even on extreme planets would change things up a bit rather than just continual fishing.

[signal shadow]

how do we fish items?

[gaunt fern]

don't use bait

[signal shadow]

how

[gaunt fern]

floatsum or junk is about 10% of casts if you aren't using bait.

[signal shadow]

oh without those things that attract fish

[indigo falcon]

go to shallow water, cast the line, reel it in until one of them is a junk item. no bait. that's all

(honestly you can get some in deep water too but whatever)

[proper valley]

I have likely a stupid question that's been answered before, but I've only just gotten back into NMS - I played back in Alpha/Beta and I've only now gotten back into the game. With this new mode select, how do I combine the modes? I want (what I assume are limited edition rewards) in my main save, however don't know how to combine the saves to collect the rewards, and additionally don't know how/if I can start the fishing expedition without specifically starting a new save which means I (possibly) lose my current progression?

Each youtube/guide online have essentially stated that it's a requirement to start a new game, meaning I'll lose my current progression for a couple of skins and that which is not very epic.

[indigo falcon]

ok so: you will go to the anomaly and find a new terminal, left of the quicksilver vendor. this will allow you to place some tech and some resources in it to send to the expedition version of that save, if you want to. from there you can start the expedition, it will play as a normal expdition save BUT

you'll be able to pick up those items from the anomaly after first warp, and (if your expedition save gets enough nanites) you'll be able to copy in (not send) the main save equipped ship and multitool to the expedition

it's about 2.8 to 3k nanites for S class ship or mt

at any time you can switch to the main save and play there, then switch back, I think via tha menu or the terminal

at the end you'll be able to ship back 8 tech and 24 resources from the expd version of the save to the main save

(if you want)

and also to copy the expd equipped ship and/or mt back to the main save

[signal shadow]

my expedition should be saved if i go in my ship and off again right?

[proper valley]

Is there any way I can port over my current bases and buildings? This is what I've spent the majority of my time on since I've gotten back into the game - I've saved the coordinates for my ships + multitools incase my savefile is corrupted, but I haven't found any way of moving bases to a different save and I feel that making a new save for a couple of rewards is not really worth the loss of hours of basebuilding + progression

[signal shadow]

the progress

[indigo falcon]

in yourexpedition save, you save that progress just like any other save file

[signal shadow]

👍

[indigo falcon]

i.e. enter/exit ship, put down a save point and interact with it, save-and-chart at a waypoint, etc.

it's just like having a new save entirely for the expedition, except you can send stuff over at the start, send stuff back at the end, and switch back and forth at any time.

[proper valley]

ah okay, that makes more sense - is there a timeframe on porting data back over to the main save?

[indigo falcon]

you do it when you end the expedition. you should do this before the 6 week time period is up

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.

[lime matrix]

Am I the only one who sees the resemblance to Big Daddy?

[ornate wing]

Does anybody have pics of the buildables or bobble head you get during the Expedition?

I swear you got a bunch of BP unlocks and they didn't transfer to my saves.

[indigo falcon]

posters, figurine: check qs vendor, one of those might be in the 'create exotic items from qs' menu there. the main thing you get are cosmetics though

[ornate wing]

Don't you get them for free though during the event?

I swear it was saying I unlocked themp as BPs.

[indigo falcon]

yes they are free on the other saves too

you will just see 'available' instead of a price

[ornate wing]

kk, thank you for confirming. It didn't transfer properly for me it looks like.

Just filed a bug report.

[indigo falcon]

I was about to say. file it and show the category with the lack of the items

[ornate wing]

The issue is I don't believe the Bobblehead you unlock is in the QS menu, along with the posters.

Similar to the bug trophy heads we got during Liquidation

[indigo falcon]

you got the posters ok or no? (in other saves)

[ornate wing]

Nope, or the coral decoration stuff.

[indigo falcon]

the barnacle is a regular qs item and won't transfer, same for he small aquarium

the posters should be under expedition rewards at the qs vendor

[ornate wing]

Oh I met the framed plant ones.

Also I swear the aquarium unlocked, even though I bought it with QS later.

[indigo falcon]

lesse, there are 3 poster plans, the wearables, the lost angler fishing rig, the expd decal, the banner, and the fligh pack,that's all you should get (and the figurine blueprints... which may be under something funny at he qs vendor, unclear, those are not phase rewards)... I don't know about te framed plants

the aquarium unlocks for the expd save only, it is not an end phase reward nor end expd reward so you don't get it on the other saves, it is though a regular qs item which you can buy once on some (other) save and have it account wide afterwards

before you buy ,be aware you cannot store your fish in it for display

[ornate wing]

Oh I was aware of that lol

[indigo falcon]

the figurine, you might have to build it for the ship in the expd save and package/ship back, I'm not really sure, will have to wait for report back from other players (I am still in the expd save for testing purposes)

[ornate wing]

I'll double check if the BP for the Angler Reel transfered as well.

IMO it has the same issues as the Minotar stuff. But not confirmed

[indigo falcon]

the angler rig should be 'available' yeah

[sleek talon]

omg so true!

How do you complete scales of fire?

[indigo falcon]

if you have a backup. or a save from before death. that's pretty much it

[plain hound]

i see too bad

[indigo falcon]

see pin 'where to go' in this channel for that

[ashen shore]

That was me but I was falling asleep trying to complete the expo

I basically got like no rewards from this one lol

[plain hound]

i just wanted to eat lmao and I alt-tabbed, completely forgot about life support systems

[ashen shore]

Expo was boring as hell lol

Something relaxing like fishing don't go well with requirements and rng imo

[sleek talon]

I did the exact same thing! I just restarted and ended up doing better 2nd time around 😄

[sleek talon]

This game doesn't really fit the standing around waiting mechanic tbh

I'm currently twiddling my thumbs waiting for a storm

and one appears as I type this ¬¬

[indigo falcon]

just fish while you wait ad relase them for nanites

[sleek talon]

do the nanites make the rare fishes spawn faster? 😛

will there be upgrades for the fishing rod?

[ashen shore]

In this expo your role is the victim you must pray to the rng

[sleek talon]

this isn't my first RNG rodeo 😄

I brought snacks...

[wraith junco]

I got some beers. like true angler would 😆

What do you think from where he got all the bottles for messages 😆

[sleek talon]

haha

[ornate wing]

Craft Brewing Expedition when?

Crab Apple Ciders, Abysall Horror Stouts

[wraith junco]

Throatripper IPA

[scenic axle]

I only have a little time to play. How quickly can I complete the expedition and are the rewards worth it?

[indigo falcon]

it's rng based, so there are things you cannot rush (catch so many of x type of fish)

[jagged sedge]

I got it done in 15 hours - the rewards are good, if you like fishing

[indigo falcon]

some cosmetics, a few fun posters, a special backpack thing

[scenic axle]

yo thanks, I'll take a look soon

[indigo falcon]

there are some things you can do to help it not take as long: do things in parallel and out of order; fish while there are storms instead of taking shelter; look at all milestones first and check rewards; read the pins in here 😉

[scenic axle]

👍

[wraith junco]

I did it in 8.5h

Imo its the standard exp time

Not counting reruns and exp1

[frigid depot]

Hi is it best to start the expedition on a new save or from the anomoly?

[void citrus]

How rare is a daytime only fish?

[indigo falcon]

it depends on you. if you start frmo a new save, all items and progress are kept (let's say your main save is very new, the expd mighthave more progress than it). if you start from an existing save, units, nanites and a limited amount o fresources and tech can be shipped back.

[gaunt fern]

fairly rare.

[indigo falcon]

hm I caught them without bait in the process of doing other milestones

[frigid depot]

ah cool thanks

[gaunt fern]

yeah, for the exp they should happen pretty naturally over the the course of it. It looks like this most recent batch of spicy chum, I caught 3 in 200 casts. but I cast at night and during storms and such too.

pretty light on legendaries.

[indigo falcon]

well they are legendary 😄

[sleek talon]

I'm using the save from the last expedition for this expedition, will i still get everything on my main save?

[blissful onyx]

living ship larvae as fish when

[blissful onyx]

Yes

[sleek talon]

cool, I thought I did but I wanted to check 🙂

[gaunt fern]

yeah, rng goddess in charge. I've gotten up to 5% of my casts legendary with spicy chum, other indicated they get more too.

[sleek talon]

I got a legendary without using bait

[indigo falcon]

I've caught them all without bait

[sleek talon]

but then RNG now hates me because of it 😄

[indigo falcon]

except storm fish

[sleek talon]

i got 1 storm fish without bait

[void citrus]

In the 2nd checkpoint system, is the super heated planet the only one with water

[sleek talon]

and using bait... 0 storm fish

[indigo falcon]

dunno if others have water or not. but r3 planet is frozen, r4 planet is radioactive, basically you can do everything on just the rendezvous planets

[gaunt fern]

the storm fish are hard to get regardless. but I think mag lures are the best way to go. spicy chum good too, in my 200 casts shown above I got 11 storm fish.

[sleek talon]

where do I get mag lures?

[void citrus]

NOOOO THEY TRYNA TO TAKE MY NIP NIP

[sleek talon]

ohhhhh

I thought you bought stuff from a bait shop ¬¬

thanks!

tbh by the time I've farmed all that cobalt, i'll have got the storm fish

[gaunt fern]

there is that... you can often by cobolt or ionized cobolt at space stations

[ashen shore]

is there anyway to delete my expedition save halfway through the expedition? bc i kinda effed up lmao and i need to restart

[sleek talon]

yes

unless you're doing it from your usual save, then i'm not sure

[ashen shore]

i’m on this screen

[indigo falcon]

you can only start an expedition once from each existing save

so if you end this early, you can't redo it from that save

[tawny hatch]

where should i set up the traps ? they do not work if I leave the planet right ?

[ornate wing]

Set them anywere there is water (I prefer next to shoreline so I can access them easy). They work at all times, but once there is a fish in each slot they will only work if they can stack the fish in a said slot.

[dusk stirrup]

anybody willing to sell me their red eye angler fish? I forgot to send mine back to the main save

[shut pasture]

I like to find island "cliffs", the islands that look like a half circle are ideal. Then you can set them at different depths and be able to easily reach them, I like to have one shallow one and at least one at 50+u. I don't know if there's a zone between these that has fish not found in other zones.

[void citrus]

FINALLY I GOT 3 DAYTIME FISH

Anyone know good spot to get some irradiated fish?

[dusk stirrup]

irradiated planet

[clever spade]

do nanites carry over when completing expedition?

[clever spade]

any irradiated planet

[dusk stirrup]

yes

[clever spade]

ty

@dusk stirrup do u know what DOESNT carry over?

[dusk stirrup]

items

discoveries

ships

freighters

multitools

you can copy them on the main save though, ships and multitools

[clever spade]

Wym copy

[clever spade]

so i keep units and nanites only?

[dusk stirrup]

when you get back to your main save whatever your active starship and multitool was you can copy it for nanites on the main save

[dusk stirrup]

there is a limited number of slots to put some items that you want to keep in to bring back to your main save

[void citrus]

Dude comabt is so trash

How tf am I supposed to survive space fights if yhe system is bad Lmao

[dusk stirrup]

upgrades to tech

[void citrus]

It's bad in the regard to the lock on system

[dusk stirrup]

get a phase beam, it recharges your shields

[clever spade]

Ohhh ok ty

[void citrus]

I cant catch up to how fast the enemy ships are moving so I can never get a hit on them

[clever spade]

ohh

[ornate wing]

You can cycle targets via , key

Sometimes it locks on to some one way too far

[fleet meadow]

Dunno what you're playing on, but on Switch I just hold ZL & the game auto-tracks enemy ships for me.
Barring that, use the old trick I did way back in games like Rogue Squadron; boost way past them, U-turn, hard break, line up some shots while they approach, then break away by boosting past them again, taking a turn to repair shields if needed.
CPU's aren't too smart, so as long as you can break past their shields they should be easy kills.

You should also invest in some mods for maneuverability & speed; even small boosts help when you're just starting out, so don't stress about not having the nanites for gold mods at first & settle for less for a bit.

[clever spade]

Why is it impossible to find a scorched planet with water..'

[gaunt fern]

rv2 planet is one you can use. all key places are pinned here

[clever spade]

ty

[high hedge]

Did anyone use the trident key from the expedition?

[clever spade]

@gaunt fern i still cant find any scorcjhed planets with water

in the area im in (4th phase) there is NOTHING

[high hedge]

The hot planet at rv2 has water

It’s not scorched, but it has hot fish

It basically just needs heat storms afaik

[clever spade]

what is rv2

[high hedge]

if it’s like a desert or something that’s too much

[gaunt fern]

right, go to space station, teleport to rdv2 station, fly out and fly down to where most basees and stuff is. that'll be the hot fish planet

[high hedge]

Rendezvous 2

[clever spade]

rendevouz 2?

Thats so far away

[clever spade]

Ohhhh ok thcx

[high hedge]

it should be in your teleport log yeah

just remember where you are now to get back of course :p

[clever spade]

so i just fish there

[clever spade]

ofcofc

[high hedge]

Yeah and it should eventually pop

I found the storm lure DEFINITELY helped for the storm fish later

[clever spade]

okkk ty

[high hedge]

you can do those out of order btw, not sure if you knew

[clever spade]

so i use no bait rn

?

[high hedge]

you can, mealworms seem to help just in general for me and easy enough to craft

[gaunt fern]

I'd use spicy chum ifyou have it, mealworms be a good backup

[high hedge]

some people said it was rng, but I know at least the storm lure for sure works

[high hedge]

spicy chum is cool but harder to craft

I never have phosphorus haha

[gaunt fern]

buy it from pilots at space stations if the station itself doesn't have it

carbon is the one I'm mostly short on

[high hedge]

Oh nice tip!

[high hedge]

Oh yeah I am too but it’s easy enough to harvest unless it’s a water planet (same with iron and cobalt)

[clever spade]

thx

[high hedge]

though rusty metal is great for iron too ;p

just long to craft

[clever spade]

i cant find the planet for the fish tho.

which rv2 am i looking at...

[gaunt fern]

once you are in the system the discoveries should clear it up quick

[clever spade]

it doesnt say which planet

[high hedge]

What’s the system name again I’ll tell you

Is it Syasthe?

[clever spade]

Syasthe

[high hedge]

Yeah Odeg has them

says Torrid but with the Solanium that’s hot weather

[clever spade]

idk if u guys cant tell but this is my first expedition...

[clever spade]

okktyty

[high hedge]

It’s all good! Love helping 🙂

[clever spade]

😇

[lost summit]

10 storms in

zero storm fish

[whole seal]

I am on a hot world but nothing I catch is indicating it's an uncommon hot world fish.

This is the hot world in the pins, system 3.

What bait do I want?

[dusk stirrup]

There's no bait that increases the rate of biome specific fish so just any bait will do

To get more uncommons

[gaunt fern]

if you use a broken bait, or no bait, then you get a bunch of floatsum, so that could slow things down

[gaunt fern]

spicy chum, mealworms, either of the day/night lures. or mag lures if its storming

[brisk junco]

Do I need to be in the same system to get a fisher note? We move on from 4 to 5 p quick

[gaunt fern]

thats the basic assumption I think

[fresh kayak]

i need help in the expadition as im stuck on an island with no fuel or di hydrogen to get off planet

[lime plume]

If you use your ping it should show up any patches nearby. You may need to explore the planet a bit.

[fresh kayak]

its all ocean

[gaunt fern]

a little tiny island with no dihydrogen?

[fresh kayak]

yes

[lime plume]

Do you have any tritium?

[fresh kayak]

no

[lime plume]

Guess you're gonna need to swim then.

[gaunt fern]

some minerals might have dihydrogen in them.

[lime plume]

One of the milestone rewards is also a launcher recharger. See what you need to claim that if you can.

If you can get it you can just plug it into your ship and wait. Don't remember which milestone it was tho.

[fresh kayak]

needs wiring loom

[lime plume]

Pretty sure the reward one comes pre built.

Could be wrong. Apologies if I am.

[fresh kayak]

this expadition sucks

spent all this time grinding it to be stuck on an island

[gaunt fern]

you scanned everything including in the water?

[noble mesa]

damn im struggling to find a system that has a scorched planet n water i think lol

[clever spade]

best bait to find 3 large fish

!?

[fresh kayak]

yep nothing

guess ill go play starfeild

[gaunt fern]

deep water more than 50u deep

[clever spade]

how tf do i even fish down there..

[gaunt fern]

fish from your ship, into water that is deep

[clever spade]

where do i find water this deep tho

[gaunt fern]

typically in the middle of large oceans

but ive found small deep lakes too

[clever spade]

ohhh ok thx

ill try to find

[gaunt fern]

one of the baits would be better than none. but lots of common large+ fish

[clever spade]

kk thx

[noble mesa]

yea my luck for scorched with water is terrible, is there any systems close to the expedition systems that have a scorched with water?

[clever spade]

rv2

[clever spade]

Can u show me where deep water is please 😭 or tell me what planet?

Like this area?

[gaunt fern]

sure, get out and cast and see how deep it is

[noble mesa]

if you cast your rod and it says 50u it should be deep enough

[clever spade]

it says where?

[gaunt fern]

lower left corner, unless its a peaceful planet, then you might need to turn on HUD, H by default on PC

[clever spade]

okk ty

[atomic cave]

I used the spicy chum, since it is a hot world.

[eternal cedar]

cast your rig

press h and look bottom left

[atomic cave]

Standing in a freezing storm, casting about for fishes hoping to get one before the lures run out. Kinda laborious grind just for some fish.

you have to have unlocked the round underwater base thing, though. Just put the base marker underwater, and then the round underwater chamber.

[eternal cedar]

This + just delete it after building

[noble mesa]

i am channeling insurmountable rage i have jumped at least 30 systems and not one has a scorched planet with water lol

if someone has a screenshot of their galaxy map using some of the expo planets as markers thatd be great lol

[clever spade]

thx

[noble mesa]

i finally found one holy

[gaunt fern]

Rdv 2 planet works for hot fish. Pinned here. As with all important locations. Doesn't have to be scorched could be lava or other hot planete

[noble mesa]

awesome, thanks

i think ive had more pirate battles in this than i have my own actual save hahaha

[balmy aspen]

You can also get the storm fish at the R2 planet, you can do both at once

[clever spade]

wheres the anglers last spot on the last planet

cayett major

[gaunt fern]

Anywhere on the planet

[clever spade]

kk ty

[eternal cedar]

Use a biotic lure

What is the end music btw

[clever spade]

@gaunt fern does magpulse bait even work for the storm fishes? i havent got one in 20 catches

or can i ONLY fish during storms for it

[elder yarrow]

how's the new expedition?

[dusk stirrup]

fishy

[gaunt fern]

yeah, go to the boggy planet, I think its in the rdv 2 system? its pinned. starts with an E. its like storms all time

[clever spade]

okk tyty

also how do i do the abyssal wonder quest

is it just luck? or

[gaunt fern]

what does it ask you to do?

[eternal cedar]

Eotirai

[clever spade]

fish over 100kg

[gaunt fern]

pretty common, I'm sure its pinned here. I found a planet early on in the exp off the beaten path, named it Big Fish in case anyone came after me. lol,

[clever spade]

oh, whichj bait did u use?

[wintry void]

You have to scan them with analysis visor

In the water

[clever spade]

Theres no E planet in rev 2.

[clever spade]

do i go in open ocean?

[wintry void]

Yes, just swim in water, and scan all fish like you do any animal

[clever spade]

i dont need to catch it?

[wintry void]

No

[gaunt fern]

How do I do the Abyssal Wonder milestone (scan a fish > 100kg)?
Rendezvous 5 planet (Cayett Major in the system Biychiem) has underwater fauna, one of which is heavy enough. Just scan everything.

[clever spade]

oh

[gaunt fern]

How do I do "Fins of Thunder" (3 fish that only appear during storms)?
Any rendezvous planet will do. Wait for a storm and then fish. You may want to use magnapulse bait, which increases the percentage chance of catching fish that only appear during storms. Note that other fish caught during a storm will not count for this milestone. For a planet with more frequent storms, try Eotirai in r4 system Zaresvet XVI (boggy planet, Noxious Gas Storms) so you don't have so long a wait between storms.

r4 not r2 sorry

[clever spade]

gotcha ty

[queen nova]

This expedition still going on

[noble mesa]

finally on the final thing i need to do which is the heavy fauna underwater

best is 77kg now

[cerulean olive]

Go to the final RV planet, Cayett Major. There's a few worms swimming the waters. They easily count for the 100kg milestone.

[noble mesa]

i was looking for one of those, ive seen em but completely forgot to scan em

animals spawn when you are flying about in your ship dont they?

[cerulean olive]

Them worms spawn quite regularly. Just dive into deeper waters and you'll find them to scan.

[noble mesa]

awesome, just gotta find those deepwater areas now lol

[gaunt fern]

just land on some water. they will show up

[cerulean olive]

30u is deep enough

[noble mesa]

oh sick, thank you!

[clever spade]

i cant find the 100kg fish dude

@gaunt fern do i just swim around and look for the fish...

does it have a red dot?

[noble mesa]

Ietap Prime has one too, RV3, its like 153kg

[gaunt fern]

they said it was a worm? worms?

yeah, 100kg fish pretty common I think

[clever spade]

maybe im doing something wrong

ic ant seem to find it

[noble mesa]

Ietap Prime or Cayett Major have some over 100kg, scan literally every underwater fauna you find just in case

[clever spade]

okok ty

[noble mesa]

yippee, finally finished

[wise stream]

Hi how do we fish in deep water?

[gaunt fern]

stand on your ship or build something

or skiff

[wise stream]

Oh okay its not under the water like deep deep under

Mb

[timber halo]

I just need one more storm fish, aaaaaa....

[dusk stirrup]

You still fish on the surface but the game tracks how deep the ground is under your lure and certain fish only spawn at larger depths

[noble mesa]

is there any way to track how long you spent completing expeditions? other than subtracting the time from your main save lol

cos i think for me id guess i was on it for maybe 8-10 hours

[lilac crane]

anyone found a decent easy to make bait? right now im using proccessed meet

[timber halo]

Hmm. Do I hit up the last two Rendezvous points while I wait for The Lazy Fisherman to complete, or do I take a break for now...

[clever spade]

mealworms

[lilac crane]

ah yeah i could just use those lol

[clever spade]

yaaa\

[wooden onyx]

Hi may i ask if you remember what is converted to nanites?

[clever spade]

i cant find this god damn abyssal wonder

[indigo falcon]

r5 planet has one, just scan the underwater creatures

[clever spade]

i cant find it!! :(

[indigo falcon]

check the fauna list, what does it show as undiscovered for underwater?

[clever spade]

this?

[indigo falcon]

no, the fauna discovered list in the fauna tab in discoveries

[clever spade]

?

[void citrus]

Um it says to place base computer underwater, you can't place one there

[clever spade]

Yes you can

[timber halo]

There's also one on the R2 planet. Look for giant swimming bovines.

[clever spade]

Should i go to r2 instead then>

Which planet

[indigo falcon]

scan all the underwater ones. this is not a fishing milestone

[timber halo]

As someone who just placed one underwater, I dunno what to tell you :p

[clever spade]

i cant find them..

[timber halo]

It's literally the rendezvous planet. I found them just by the shore of the rendezvous point.

[indigo falcon]

move 200-300 u out and check again, then come back, repeat until it shows up

[clever spade]

Wheres the point?

[indigo falcon]

it's not the "rare in the north" one, I scanned that one after doing all the milestones

[timber halo]

Honestly? I'd actually give you coordinates if I remembered. Point is, they're on the planet. Just search the ocean for creatures and, as usual, hit 'em with the old visor

[clever spade]

ill look

[timber halo]

Helps if you bring a skiff.

And maybe some ion batteries. Place gets bloody hot.

[clever spade]

what does a skiff do

[timber halo]

...it's the Exo-Skiff technology. It is, as the name and description would imply, a skiff. A platform suspended above the water, primarily for fishing.

Also good for those "the sky is on fire but the ocean is somehow on fire-er" nights.

[clever spade]

ya i have it but why does it help

all i have left to do is the abyssal wonder

[timber halo]

I mean... it lets you survey the water without straining your hazard protection and life support? it's really that simple :V

[clever spade]

oh

can u drive it?

or just satnd on it

[indigo falcon]

it will once the experimental steam patch lands for everyone (right now it doesn't protect against hazard)

[timber halo]

I thought you said you have it, silly. Pop it down and find out ;p

[ivory wasp]

what did i do to deserve this 😭

[timber halo]

Oh, it's actually supposed to provide relief from planetary hazards? That's so cool omg

[void citrus]

Yeah it just straight up won't let me place, says already in existing base when I'm not and no one else's base is anywhere near me

[clever spade]

i do have it, i just used it once and it looked useless lmao

[clever spade]

Theres prob another computer down

[indigo falcon]

can you report base from the qs menu and is there something to report?

that could clear it for you (otherwise move elsewhere)

*quick menu

[void citrus]

There's like 15 different bases in the quick menu

[timber halo]

It's far from useless. Fishing from inside the water is obnoxious (especially when waves hit you), it protects against random jellyfish, it looks nice, it can house multiple players, and it comes with a cold storage that (is supposed to) house like 50 fish inside it

[clever spade]

Oh i landed on r2 and immediatly found the 100kg fish

Lmao

[clever spade]

ahh

[timber halo]

And, as apergos mentioned, apparently it's also supposed to protect from planetary hazards like ships and (with the right upgrades) exocraft.

The one caveat with it is that the blasted thing is rather susceptible to getting jostled around by waves, but if you just plant a nutrient processor on it, that'll weigh it down and keep it steady

[devout echo]

Under what category do you find ‘Bait’ in the catalog.

[clever spade]

Do my units and nanites automatically transfer over when completed

[timber halo]

Yes.

[clever spade]

ok ty

[timber halo]

Not sure what you mean - any food item can be used as bait, if that's what you're asking. (Excluding desserts and ice cream. Boo.)

[devout echo]

I found it under fuel and utilities. Which makes no sense.

[timber halo]

I mean, it is a utility.

[devout echo]

To me, it would be a food item.

I Could be crazy though

[high hedge]

I mean I wouldn’t eat bait

[timber halo]

I mean if you wanna eat the worms then all power to you I guess!

[devout echo]

I guess I see why they put it under utilities because some of it is not merely bait. Some of them are labeled lures as well as bait.

[indigo falcon]

bionic lure not really food, yeah

[timber halo]

I'd eat the shiny

Iteration reset by culinary catastrophe

[devout echo]

No spicy chum for you

[oblique fern]

Salty Fingers is pretty good for catching fish in during a storm, increases the chance iirc

[ashen shore]

Patch incoming to make it protect from hazards
Probably next week
Switch don't even have the core bug patch lol

[indigo falcon]

it will come. gotta hang on a little longer

[wanton raft]

How much does salty fingers increase rarity chances? My goto when completely the expedition on the PS4 was Spicy Chum since it was so easy to make. I only sacrificed 10% of the rarity bonus of the binonic lure for instance.

I'm now going to do the expedition on the PC, but much faster I hope if RNG is my friend.

I notice that on the expedition you get a skiff with 100 inventory slots, but on a regular save you only get ten slots on the skiff! That's the huger difference. How hard is it to get more slots on the skiff if you even can?

If you can't, I may opt to star this expedition as a new save vs in an existing save. Would definitely prefer using an existing save for the other advantages!

[fleet folio]

Don't look at me, I got stupidly lucky and caught a legendary very early on

Never really had to deal with the rarity increase part of bait as a result

[wanton raft]

Hope that skiff having just 10 slots is just a bug and it will get patched soon. I have time to wait and see and I probably will.

[fleet folio]

It is

Already been patched on Experimental, in fact, along with Exo-skiffs not protecting from environmental hazards

[wanton raft]

You have the RNG I take it.

[wanton raft]

I constantly got knocked off the skiff with water swells. Is that getting fixed or a feature?

[fleet folio]

That's also getting fixed

At least, in part; I think the thing not being entirely stable is intentional

[wanton raft]

Nice! Wish other game companies operated like HG! What an awesome team they have!

HG bugs are nothing compared to crap we have to deal with from other game companies!

[fleet folio]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/4751949102177895811/
Patch notes for the current experimental build, if you want to look them over

(Which also means it's a partial preview of patch notes for the next non-experimental build, too...)

[wanton raft]

I just agreed with you level up! LOL! Wonder of that helped ya.

Probably not.

[fleet folio]

Yeah, seriously doubt it works if it isn't the bot doing it

[wanton raft]

If it did it would be an exploit and get fixed fast! Can't have bugs in the user's favor! That's a big no no.

[fleet folio]

Considering that there are server permissions tied into it... yes, actually, that would be a major issue

[wanton raft]

Of course HG doesn't care (shifting from Discord the HG in my thinking) about that since NMS is single player in that reguard.

In other space games like Star Citizen, exploits in the user's favor are high priority to fix! On the other hand, bugs that make the gameplay generally suck almost never get fixed. LOL!

[ancient field]

Is there any way to tell from the galaxy map if a system has a scorched planet?
I need to catch 3 hot tempature fish and the galaxy map keeps telling me to go to biycheim system, yet when I get there the mission tab claims there's no suitable planets detected in that system.

[wanton raft]

I don't think so, but would like to be proven wrong. Check the pins. Bet there's a suggestion of where to go, though not sure.

[solemn bane]

There's probably info in the pins to tell you which rdv system to go to to find the planet you need

[ancient field]

Rendezvous 2 planet (Odeg in the system Syasthe).```
I found this, But how do I find that system now?

[low jackal]

if you have been there, check your discovery tsb

there you can set wapoint to that system

[ancient field]

Found it, tysm

[fallen jackal]

Im struggling with this stupid storm fish mission I've done several storms and tried catching fish with the storm lure during storms 10 times and nothing has worked

Is it bugged

I did what the pins said I went to each point of interest expedition planets

Waited for storms

Used the storm lure

Nothing has worked

Been at it for 3 hours

Im just assuming it's bugged

And is impossible to complete

[hushed rain]

Same

[fallen jackal]

Like wtf

[hushed rain]

Like 30 magpulse lures
No fish

On a side note I think this game hates me fishing sometimes

[fallen jackal]

Maybe it requires a planet that has storm crystals

[hushed rain]

Just casually fishing and I've been struck by lightning and pelted with meteors

[fallen jackal]

Like a actual storm planet

If I can't complete the expedition than I'll be pissed

[indigo falcon]

go to the planet with more frequent storms listed in the pins for that milestone and try that

it's not bugged, but it can take awhile

also you can build a shelter and fish from inside it (have a doorway or something) and avoid the weather that way, still catching the storm fish

saves you some hazard protection

[hushed rain]

I GOT ONE

ANOTHER

[fallen jackal]

Not me :(

[hushed rain]

I keep getting knocked off my skiff because of the waves

[wraith junco]

My skiff sometimes does 2160⁰ flip when summoning it during storms xd

[fallen jackal]

Im still not getting these storm fish

Wtf

[barren violet]

just started the expedition last night! going to rendezvous 1 right now, any tips for fishing? havent tried it yet

[fallen jackal]

I discovered a really nice paradise planet

[eternal cedar]

iirc the letters and numbers do actually mean something

[late goblet]

can anyone help me out?

this is the first expedition im doing and i need some help getting my ship started

[fleet folio]

Both the Pulse Engine and Launch Thrusters are damaged and need repairs. If you've ever done the main game, you should know how to do this

[late goblet]

yeah but its kinda hard without my s class stuff lol

[fleet folio]

It's simple: mine Ferrite Dust. Mine Carbon. And I think you also need to mine some Di-Hydrogen

[wraith junco]

Dihydrogen , ferrite ,plates and carbon tubes are made from basic stuff

[fleet folio]

Then craft and/or refine them into what you need for the repairs

[late goblet]

the planet i spawned on has very little stuff

[wraith junco]

Everyone spawns at same planet

[late goblet]

its a bad planet ngl

[fleet folio]

Of course it is, they want you off it ASAP

[late goblet]

smart

[fleet folio]

And it's certainly better than your usual spawn in regular mode, anyways

[late goblet]

i spawned on a extreme weather planet

got hit with a ice cold storm instantly

thats why i wanted someone to play w me it would be more fun

[fleet folio]

Think you need to make it off planet to do that, anyways...

[indigo falcon]

you should be collecting dihydrogen sodium oxygen carbon ferrite dust and, if you run across it, some cobalt. also a few buried tech modules to sell once you get to the space station. (well copper too if you have the patience for it, you can buy it later though)

this is how every expedition and every new save starts....

[late goblet]

yeah yeah i kno

i never made a new start thats the issue

[indigo falcon]

if in single player you can use photo mode to look around and see if you can find sodium to deal with hazard protection

also if you see plants (heptaploid wheat etc) some of those recharge hazard, grab them.

[late goblet]

ty

how many hours do u have?

[indigo falcon]

in the game? over 2k, but there are plenty of players with a lot more than that

[late goblet]

DANG

do u have any remarkable builds??

[indigo falcon]

oh they are all kind of modest, I don't do the big kaleidescope builds. but I use various glitches to make some items be less eyesores than usual, mostly scaling things down in other words.

[late goblet]

thats pretty nice

aint using glitches gonna corrupt ur save if its fixed?

[indigo falcon]

nope, glitch building is a known set of techniques to builders and to the hg devs

they won'r patch them out, sometimes they have even specifically added something in the ui behaviour that helps us

[late goblet]

W devs ngl

[indigo falcon]

there's no duping or anything like that, no mods, it's just using caching of item state in various ways to place in the position and size you want

and sometimes colour

[late goblet]

i mean there is a dupe glitch

[indigo falcon]

that's not the sort of thing we mean when talking about glitch building

[late goblet]

is it hard? like scaling things down

[indigo falcon]

dupe exploits and such are a totally different thing

scaling things down takes getting the timing right, as do most of these build techniques, so some practice and being willing to redo steps several times

there are plenty of guides on the web if you are interested

most folks use these methods to scale things up sctually 😄

there's a channel in here abou tbase building if you are interested: #nms-base-building

[late goblet]

aight ty

[fallen jackal]

I discovered a paradise planet with purple bioluminescent grass and bubbles with water and everything and I the planets surface is pink I named the plant

The sphere of porphura

The name of the galaxy is galaxy shadow

[fallen jackal]

Look up what porphura means

[indigo falcon]

don't have to 🙂 is this on the expedition?

[noble mesa]

ah crap i dont remember, i wanna say that majority of it was nanites i earned but idk

[lusty slate]

I love how storm fishing on main is giving me more trouble than in the expedition. Lucky exped RNG spoiled me.

[sleek talon]

3 storm fish collected! I highly recommend using the Magpulse Lure after spending a day trying to catch them with no bait and only getting 1...

[indigo falcon]

the magpulse lure didn't help me all that much but game rng is what it is

[sleek talon]

oh it still took like 20 lures for me to get 2 more fish, but it was way better than the 4 hours yesterday!

[pseudo rose]

Is there a system near the start where someone set up a portal?

[molten rune]

Guys RNG gods bless me with luck today i finaly catch that 3 freaking storm fish

[gaunt fern]

be interesting to look at fish size for each category too. storm fish were easy for me on the planet I ended up on once I got things figured out because the storm fish was small and I was fishing in shallows. that appears to reduce the pool (hah) of available fish to catch.

[signal shadow]

i need to find a fisherman's note

do i just keep fishing

[fringe agate]

Yep

[signal shadow]

thanks got it, how can i find a planet with radioactive water

[fringe agate]

As you follow the expedition route, look for planets that have water and list gamma root as a resource

[signal shadow]

👍

[indigo falcon]

barren worlds have small storm fish that are common (but there are no barren stormy worlds in the rendezvous systems I think)

[gaunt fern]

yeah, I've explored a bit further. trying to knock out my last few legendary fish for the catelog and having to pay attention to size/night etc

normally I just fish in very deep water and fish through storms and day/night cycle, but was thinking how to manipulate it a bit

[indigo falcon]

if you're not in a rush, that method will work jus tfine, this is meant to be the chillax expedition

[brisk junco]

goodnight sweet prince

[late goblet]

yo guys

i really need help w sum

[brisk junco]

hi

[late goblet]

i cant find a scorched planet in the expedition

i really need help

[brisk junco]

thats the last i need as well

[late goblet]

can someone tp me there?

[brisk junco]

well, that and storm fish

[late goblet]

dang man ive been searching for hours

lets work together

[brisk junco]

i was about to go check all my stations

cause thats all i need now

[late goblet]

aight u go there and say if u found one

[brisk junco]

storm fish i can just get on exp 3 planet

cause that planet is fucked

[late goblet]

wjat is a storm fish lol

[brisk junco]

in phase 5, you have to catch fish that only spawn during a storm

[late goblet]

lmao ive been in so many storms

[brisk junco]

rng fishing, however

ive got 1 of em

[late goblet]

damn

aight man try ur best to find a galaxy with a scorched planet

[brisk junco]

it has to also have water

[late goblet]

ima look at tuts

[brisk junco]

ive found many scorched planets

[late goblet]

theres no tutorial on how to find a scorched planet with water 💀

[brisk junco]

thats the gift that keeps on giving with nms

[late goblet]

notify me when u find one please

[brisk junco]

you just gotta get lucky

or have someone that completed the exped

found one

@late goblet Syasthe, it's an expedition system

[late goblet]

yo

[lusty slate]

Have you tried looking at uploaded bases in the teleporter?

[late goblet]

i did

[late goblet]

wait can i add u

so i can tp to u

[brisk junco]

you should already have it

[late goblet]

oh yeah

ty leone

[brisk junco]

:3

[indigo falcon]

in the pins it is listed where to go for scorched planet with water (r2 planet), always check the pins!

[late goblet]

i wasted 2 hours lol

[late goblet]

cant the dews just like make more scorched planets lmao

[brisk junco]

theres plenty of scorched planets

but, you did pass right by a scorched water planet without realising it in a system you're intended to go to :P

[lusty slate]

I think this is why the RNG on the haunted storm fish is so wack. It's a storm only fish, but also a colossal. I still haven't caught it.

[indigo falcon]

there are billions, just not necessarily righ tby you. still, making all the planets you need be rendezvous planets is good enoug h:-P

[prime imp]

Do you have 10 spaces instead of 60 at the exosqiff at main saves or maybe its a personal bug?

[indigo falcon]

it's a bug for all, ,fixed in experimental branch in steam, will get to all of us "Soon"

[brisk junco]

Odeg 89/12 is the planet @late goblet

[gaunt fern]

The final fish right of the jelly?

[cold tulip]

Yes, only 10

[prime imp]

Thank you!

[upbeat fulcrum]

It switched bait from Magpulse Lure to Spicy Chum ... completed within 2 storms after trying 200 Magpulse without any success ...

[sleek talon]

any tips for scanning the abyssal wonder on the r5 planet?

[upbeat fulcrum]

solved this accidentally in early stages ... just scan big creatures in the oceans ...

[sleek talon]

yeah they're all hiding from me 😦

[hushed cave]

Can anyone recommend some decent bait to attract enormous fish and a legendary fish?

[upbeat fulcrum]

Bionic Lure worked for me on legendary fish ...

[ruby spear]

I know big fish needs 50au water or more

On depth

[indigo falcon]

it's not absolutely necessary. but it helps.

[lusty moon]

are the expedition rewards good

[indigo falcon]

some people really like the cosmetics a lot

[lusty moon]

So no new ship, no multi tool?

[indigo falcon]

have a look at the update notes and see for yourself if you want them https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/09/aquarius-update/ (later in the post: the suit, the fishing rig, the backpack)

no ship or mt, no

[lusty moon]

I might do it, but expeditions require effort and all that’s really exclusive are cosmetics, and people might be able to get the cosmetics through service bot

[indigo falcon]

you can get expedition ships via the bot too though, right?

[lusty moon]

Yeah but typically it requires some payment or luck for it to be used, and if I were to grind so much in an expedition, I would do it rather than using service bot

And for just cosmetics while you can get really good ones in quicksilver shop, makes grinding seem like the most obsolete thing to do

[indigo falcon]

whatever you enjoy, it's your game and time!

[lusty moon]

Good part about this is I don’t have to play long to get good stuff in the game, wouldn’t have the motivation to grind. Makes it more fun and less time consuming

[cursive bone]

Greetings everyone!
Can I release the Angler or it will be needed later?

[cold tulip]

You wont need it later

[cursive bone]

Thanks!

[dusk stirrup]

It's only catchable in the expedition, if you want to keep it as a trophy you need to keep it now

[ashen shore]

It gives slightly more nanites upon release than Nirmal

[cursive bone]

I feel sorry for him being my trophy

[dusk stirrup]

I will take him from you and give him a good home

I forgot to send mine back to main save

[sleek talon]

do I need to place the base computer under the water for a underwater base?

[wintry void]

no

the base parts need to be built 30u underneath though

[sleek talon]

oh okay, just keep going deeper then 😄

[lusty slate]

I also switched to spicy chum for a few storms myself. No luck yet, but I'll stick with that. And yeah, I sank about 150+ magpulse on it with no results.

[lusty slate]

Breached crawler, last on the far right above the haunted legendaries.

[sleek talon]

does crystal sulphide respawn?

[brisk junco]

This expedition was great and all, until storm fish

waiting so god damn long for storm to start just to get only green fish

[lusty slate]

Just an FYI, fishing them on main isn't any easier. 😛

[brisk junco]

I'm just trying to do the expedition

Everything else is done but I've only found 1 storm fish

[marsh brook]

Question for you guys: What's the best bait for catching Large fish?

[brisk junco]

big fish

The baits seem like they moreso effect rarity or specific attractions

[marsh brook]

Trying to get the lunker one, 3 enormous fish

[brisk junco]

but using fish for bait is a bit of both

I've been mostly just using mealworms, until i got to this stupid storm fishing

fyi, be god damn sure you're fishing in every storm

[hushed cave]

Struggling to find a scorched world to fish on in the expedition. Any tips?

[brisk junco]

There's one in an expedition system

[hushed cave]

Oh which one? The mission tracker told me in the corner there was no suitable scorched planet nearby

Ok will look for Syasthe

[brisk junco]

During expeditions make sure you visit stations

that way you can backtrack for these hyper specific ones

[hushed cave]

On my way to that system now

Thanks 🙏🏻

[brisk junco]

odeg is the planet you want

[hushed cave]

Was about to ask about Torrid 😂

[marsh brook]

Is there some trick to getting enormous fish?

[brisk junco]

Nope

improve rng with big fish as bait

if it increases the percent anyway, not all of them do

[sleek talon]

anyone got a couple hundred tonnes of crystal sulphur? 😄

building an underwater base is requiring a lot of materials :/

[marsh brook]

Been trying this, and it seems like it's a pretty solid boost

Do big fish give a larger boost?

[brisk junco]

oh thats p good yeah

nah that seems better

[marsh brook]

just 2 B fish together and you can make it pretty easy

But I have yet to get anything about a medium

Does the planet matter at all?

[brisk junco]

No, but I think depth does

you can terrain tool to make it deeper

i would say maybe 60+ depth

maybe more

FINALLY

[wicked obsidian]

Hey,is there a bait that attracts big fish for “The Lunker”?

Oh mb I did not see previous messages

[ashen shore]

How many times you fall asleep

[brisk junco]

only took me two days due to time constraints

so 1 sleep

on a technicality

[ashen shore]

Lol

[storm sparrow]

Does (or maybe has) HG ever done anything for Halloween? In all fairness I've never really seen any "holiday yule" / Christmas stuff so I'm not expecting much but boy it would be pretty cool to have a haunted / scary themed expansion

Like bone armor and body parts or even zombie themed stuff

js - the idea of infected feral / rabid crewmates that got infected by an alien pathogen and are now aimlessly wandering the unpowered halls of a derelic freighter are canonically in line with the futuristic theme of NMS -

[shy dagger]

Anyone need any help with the expedition?

[lusty slate]

The expedition reruns are their holiday celebrations, pretty much.

[meager scroll]

https://www.nomanssky.com/2021/10/no-mans-sky-expedition-4/

They also had a thing where QS could be farmed on derelicts during haloween season

[lusty slate]

Okay, that needs to come back.

[storm sparrow]

That's one of the few expeditions I haven't done or that I missed.. Yeah that definitely needs to relaunch

That's awesome!

[void citrus]

I fell asleep while playing and I woke up to me dead and lost all my stuff, and my fish rod and a ton of tech broken LMAO

[umbral forum]

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[void citrus]

It wasn't a bug, I just fell asleep while building my underwater base and drowned

[umbral forum]

What?

[slow cobalt]

Can you pilot rhe skiff or is it just a platform?

[umbral forum]

Swim to the desired location and redeploy the skiff.

[slow cobalt]

Oh

That's kinda disappointing

[umbral forum]

There are already two exocraft that can cross water efficiently.

I only use the skiff to place a cooking station and access the cold storage.

Normally I just fish on my ship because it doesn't wobble during storms.

[fluid vault]

you can re-summon it while standing on it to make it slowly drift to the new position

though that's not "driving" per se, it does mean you can move it without getting out

[fading lynx]

Anything in particular I should send myself as supplies? :3

[atomic estuary]

Some general tips for what to bring with you -#nms-expedition message

[wise stream]

Any tips to get ice/frozen fish? In 100 catch , 2 are ice/frozen. Im on an Frozen planet 50 deep

[tired condor]

How does depth affect what you catch? Rarity? Certain types?

[wicked obsidian]

If it is at least 60 U deep you can get colossal fish

[tired condor]

Ty, is that the only effect?

[wicked obsidian]

Yeah, pretty much

[eternal cedar]

This was the last time they acknowledged settlements existed

"Fixed an issue that could cause some settlement buildings to lose their construction terminals."

[low light]

That's some pretty bad luck, are you using bait?

[scarlet kayak]

Howdy y'all! I just got back into the game during this expedition from first playing it at launch. Wow!!! A lot has changed and I'm really enjoying this. I'm kinda curious about what happens when you end the expedition, though. Do I get to bring back my ship/multitool/freighter? If I've unlocked techs in the expedition, do they carry over to the main save?

Generally, what kinda stuff should I bring back?

[wicked obsidian]

You can bring some materials back and some tech, but ship/multitool/freighter does not go back to your main save (ship and multitool can be brought from you main save to the expedition)

Bring tech that is hard to get, maybe rare building materials

[scarlet kayak]

so if I got modules in the expedition, like the auto charge launcher, exo skiff, angler's rod, I want, that kinda stuff, I should bring those back?

[wicked obsidian]

Yes

[scarlet kayak]

Thanks!

[wicked obsidian]

Put them in the terminal at the Anomaly to bring them back

[scarlet kayak]

any of the rewards from the expedition can be rebuilt tho, right?

I wanna keep the bobble head 😄

and the ||angler itself||

[wicked obsidian]

I dont know if the bobble head etc can be rebuilt, just put them in the terminal to get them again

[scarlet kayak]

gotcha okay

It looks like the bobble head is one of the expedition rewards tho

[wicked obsidian]

If so, it should be unlocked account-wide, but better safe than sorry!

[scarlet kayak]

thanks!

Can I return to the expedition?

or do old expeditions?

[wicked obsidian]

After you finish the expedition you cannot do it again, and old expeditions are only available if Hello Games turns them on again

They sometimes do a redux at the end of the year

[wooden onyx]

both ship and multitool can be copied forwards and then backwards

[scarlet kayak]

Oh you have great timing, I can copy my ship and multitool, modules and all, FROM the expedition to the Main save?

[wicked obsidian]

Oh really? Cool!

[scarlet kayak]

that saves some valuable module slots for me. But I can't copy my exosuit, so I should prioritize bringing those modules back?

[wooden onyx]

only the tech, cargo cannot be copied

[wooden onyx]

you can do it multiple times...as an exploit...lol

[wicked obsidian]

…what

[summer carbon]

So my sentinel rating seems to be 4, I am just trying to survive and work on the expedition. My rating hasnt gone down after like 2 minutes

any tips?

I am new to the game btw

okay so I died, how am I supposed to collect resources if they attack me?

[atomic estuary]

Did you tried to save+reload?
Having constant sentinels after you sounds like a bug

[atomic estuary]

you will leave a grave where you have died, get to it
Just dont die on your way, second death will wipe the first grave

[summer carbon]

yeah I got to the grave

How do I force a save?

[atomic estuary]

Hop in and out of your ship

Itll create a restore point (a save)

[summer carbon]

does fishing anger the sentinels?

it does not

[supple iron]

hi

[manic path]

Fellas

Should I copy my multitool or my ship over to the expedition

[atomic estuary]

I'm going to, I prepped all mats and ill probably start it today or tomorrow

[manic path]

Fair

I only brought enough to copy one over

500 nanites short

It’s nice to have my ship tech back tho

[atomic estuary]

500 isnt a lot, you can get that easily

[manic path]

Ye

Uh Björn

How did I “plume the abyss”

Oh

Cast line in deep water

Sounded worse than it was

[ivory wasp]

Any tips on finished that storm mission? I've completed everything except for that and i've only managed to catch one storm fish

[void citrus]

There's a bait that increases the chance but idk how good it is

[indigo falcon]

you could try checking the pins for a planet with more frequent storms in a rendezvous system, that will help the wait times. Seethe "Where to go" pin for all the info.

[summer carbon]

This might be a stupid question but can diurnal fish be caught during the day without a Dangling Orb?

[timber halo]

Done!

[primal arch]

yes all fish can be caught without bait

[summer carbon]

okay because ive fished up over a dozen in broad daylight and not a single diurnal fish

[primal arch]

it's totally random, the bait just makes it easier for you

try hitting a deeper area

[summer carbon]

also, whats this? I can install it for some reason

[summer carbon]

i dont know how to steer the exo skiff

[sudden bison]

Bad upgrade

[sudden bison]

Sort of

[summer carbon]

so it literally has no use

[sudden bison]

No it's kind of a weird scrappy upgrade, idk

[primal arch]

It's just gonna give you more units for each fauna/flora scan I think

[sudden bison]

Looks pretty good. I think their like, way worse than c tier or way better than s tier

[primal arch]

Add it to your multitool for sure

[summer carbon]

is there a way to move the skiff after initial placement?

[primal arch]

Basically re-summon it to desired location and it'll drift there

If you're not near deep water, just fly your ship to a deeper point and fish from there

[summer carbon]

ohh okay

[ashen shore]

What depth count as deep?

[fleet folio]

50u

[ashen shore]

Thanks. If i fish in >50u, can i catch a "huge" fish for goal?

[primal arch]

Yeah that’s how I caught mine

[fleet folio]

And yes, that does sound wrong to me; assuming that one unit is equal to 1 meter, you won't even get the "exceeding 100 meters, oxygen efficiency decreased" notice

[ashen shore]

And what weight is count as huge?

[primal arch]

Actually caught mine in a 44u

Like 90% sure it changes color from white to yellow to red depending on depth. I’d just use that as an indicator

[fleet folio]

The description will say "colossal"

Weight only matters for when you need to scan a fish of a specific minimum size

[ashen shore]

And what is he's weight? Just"colossal" or it have a number?

[primal arch]

Idk the weight it’ll legit just say “colossal”

The “huge” fish is an actual size category, not a weight category

[fleet folio]

It will be in the item description when you fish it up

[ashen shore]

Ok. What heaviest fish u catch? With number, of course))

[primal arch]

I’d have to open the game to know lol imma sleepy boi rn tho

But so far I’ve only caught one colossal fish

[ashen shore]

Heh, sorry)

Good night, folk)

[primal arch]

It was in 44u waters and you could see the outline of it before it bit

I didn’t use a bait either but you can use a bait that increases size of the fish and it’ll hopefully help

[void cairn]

Where do I get the different bait types?

[ashen shore]

Nutrient proccesor, some BP's u can acquire after some goals

Whitebait is good, 48% of rarity increasing

[void cairn]

I watched a beeblebum video where he had them right away

[primal arch]

You get the recipes from a milestone

[void cairn]

Thanks

[primal arch]

But you can also use random ahh things like meat chunks etc

[ashen shore]

But if u procces some sort of fish, u can get whitebait with 48 rarity and 8(?)% weight

[primal arch]

Yeah processing stuff will give you additional types of bait

[ashen shore]

What i can say: procces all C class fish, it weird like a bait, but after proccesing u get a good bait

And how to catch S class fish?

[primal arch]

The rarity bait should help with that

[ashen shore]

Any other requirements?

[primal arch]

Honestly have this stuff is luck lol

I legit think the bait is your best shot

Maybe storms help too idk but that might be anecdotal

[ashen shore]

I can catch it in any depth?

[primal arch]

Yeah pretty much
