nms-expedition

[atomic estuary]

No idea, I haven't gotten to fishing yet 😅

[mental saddle]

Ok

So, it took me 51 baits

Each craft gives 20, so make sure to craft 3~4 times at least lol

[stray dome]

So the angler walked into my trap on a differnt planet

[mental saddle]

I wish the expedition would give a little bit more quicksilver, but ok

[dusty elm]

Do we need to keep the 'Message in the bottle' after we read the message or get them out of our inventory?

[summer kraken]

Usually Expeditions never are lucrative with Quicksilver.

From what I know, a good amount of them don't even reward the currency.

[mental saddle]

You can destroy it or whatever

I'm keeping mine as a small token thingy

[summer kraken]

And besides, the majority of Quicksilver is meant to be obtained via the Nexus. So in an Expedition it's more of a nice bonus alongside everything else.

Not sure if you could take advantage of a weekend bonus on the Expedition and the main save to double the profits, haven't checked because I just thought of it.

... After it's been like a week or two since I ended the Expedition.

[dusty elm]

I'd like to keep mine too, atleast a few, storage space is low right now. Thanks!

[mental saddle]

Just remember to send it through the anomaly when you are going to finish the expedition

[indigo falcon]

while the game text says "large", what you need are "colossal" fish, better odds in deep waterand with a bait that increases chance of bigger size.

[lusty slate]

If I remember correctly, it says "enormous".

[golden igloo]

Thanks. Without better orientation so far I found 50-60 u as the deepest waterland. And the best bait I can make is the worms something, which gives ridiculous 2% of bigger fish chance.
Hello Games is doing a good job if they are intended to make me hate NMS fishing...

[mental saddle]

Try finding 80~ u deep waters

Find somewhere as deep as it could be

It's not hard, just fly out on space, find the biggest ocean on the planet and fly to it

Should be around there

[golden igloo]

Thanks, I'll try my RNGesus luck...

[mental saddle]

Also

[split rune]

Yeah waters are ~90u near the 5th/final fishing spot -14.12 +24.74 Cayett Major

[mental saddle]

If you select a mission, on the galaxy map, it should (sometimes) guide you to a place where you can find it

[mental saddle]

I'm pretty sure I have sound significantly deeper waters while roaming around lol

[golden igloo]

Nice I'll try it.

[mental saddle]

I always stray from the waypoints on expeditions

Because multiplayer can sometimes mess with stuff

Even though it's fun

[split rune]

Yeah, at the 5th/final spot I was getting no bites at all, tons of players around. Turned multiplayer off and reloaded, tons of fish. Might be part of some players' RNG woes, maybe

[mental saddle]

When player joins system, stuff goes wrong

That's all I have to say

If you are on a space station and you try to talk with an npc from a landed ship

If another player joins the system, the npc will glitch and your dialogue will close

The ship might also reload

I imagine it's the same thing with fish

[golden igloo]

Many Thanks! The spot is full of colossal fish! You are a game saver. 😆 👍

[teal socket]

ye on my 2nd account, I went overboard and made 500 of each bait by turning crafting on to free and sending it via expedition terminal.

also, instead of using the skiff (except to store bait), I fished from the top of my ship as it didn't shift during storms while fishing

in some places, even without a storm, the skiff sometimes rocks to dump me out. top of the ship is rock solid

[indigo falcon]

over 50 u is fine, and you don't really need the bait.

note I did the entire thing in single player to avoid those multiplayer buglets.

[golden igloo]

Thanks, I already found a nice spot thanks to @split rune tip. 👍

[dusky oracle]

what do we do with the angler guy? can we bring the old chum to main save?

[granite ridge]

You can, then keep it, sell it or set it free for some nanites

[dusky oracle]

oh I can gotcha, I was thinking if I can put that old dude in my main save aquarium lol

[wooden onyx]

how do you get so much nanites? do you rmb what is converted to nanites?

[mental saddle]

Pirate station -> Buy illegal goods -> unbox the modules -> sell the modules

I got 90% of it trying to get full perfect X modules

(still don't have even half of them perfect tho)

[wooden onyx]

I see, thanks. I mean I do know of that method. I mainly just wanted to ask about the stuff that the expedition converts to nanites at the end, if you can rmb

[mental saddle]

Ooooh

Nanites from expedition

Yeah, I went around buying stuff in pirate stations whenever I got bored

And just sold everything lol

This is main save money

[wooden onyx]

I have over half a mil nanites from doing methods like that in my primary save. I got a lot from the previous expedition, where each horror killed gives 25 nanites, and each frigate hired nets 2000. I just wonder if for this expedition, maybe the amount of fish caught might be converted to nanites instead

[wooden onyx]

do you have a screenshot of the other metrics?

[mental saddle]

You can get nanites from releasing fishes

[wooden onyx]

not catching...? dang....what a drag...releasing is so slow and tedious

[mental saddle]

And from buying ships

[blazing fossil]

Rookie numbers
I have 2 and a half billion units and almost 300k nanites

[mental saddle]

I could get that in less than a minute, but my stuff is legit

[blazing fossil]

Yeah?
So is mine

Stasis farms are very much legit

[mental saddle]

Also I spent my money buying upgrades for my ships and multitools

Because I had nothing to do with it

[void citrus]

And I have now completed the expedition, I really hope we eventually get a pirating update, I really badly want to see melee weapons and such

[mental saddle]

We already got that

The pirate update I mean

It was the outlaws

[void citrus]

I mean a newer variation, the one we got is Meh at best

[mental saddle]

I'd like an updated pirate station

And updated abandoned station

That'd make a cool expedition

Going around from abandoned station to abandoned station, all of them a different version of the derelict freighters but cooler and bigger

And it's something like adrift so you got no one to save you

[tough steeple]

oh about 5 weeks left on the expedition it seems, time to jump back into NMS for a while havent played in ages!

[spiral elk]

has anyone got a hot water planet? i need it for phase idk

[wraith junco]

[spiral elk]

thx

[thorn cliff]

How many hours are needed to complete this expedition, approximately?

[wraith junco]

I did it in 8h

[blazing fossil]

How lucky are you?

[thorn cliff]

Let's assume moderately

[granite ridge]

The rngsus has a significant impact on milestones that involve fishing specific types of aquatic fauna, but aside from that 8 hours was my timing as well

[tough steeple]

from the expeditions i did it usually took me 1-2 weeks playing a couple hours every day, im pretty inefficient though ;d

[wanton frigate]

Didn't think the Switch got the new waves from the update, but I guess I'd not been in water deep enough since it dropped. Now that I've seen them, I hate them 'cause I keep falling off my skiff and having to fish while treading water like a common merman!
For the Angler messages, does it matter where you are when you try to catch them? i.e. do you need to be on the corresponding Secret Fishing Spot planet (or near the spot) ? Getting sick and tired of catching humongous rare deep-sea fish when all I want is a bottle.

[indigo falcon]

be at a body of water on the corresponding rendezvous planet, that's all you need. but don't use any bait, and it may help to be in shallow waters (i.e. close to shore).

[faint pelican]

I sold my deathly cold ice cream. Do we need that later in expedition?

[wanton frigate]

can you make anything useful out of the assorted crap you pull up or is it all just clogging inventory space?

[indigo falcon]

the coral and sponges and bottles? eh you can sell those off

if you pull up a rusted tech, you can install and disassemble for wiring looms and such though, might be worth doing

[wanton frigate]

oooh good thinking, got a couple of those.

Was making great progress through phases 4 and 5, then decided to see if I could build a base on the sea bed, then decided to farm resources to build a tunnel to the surface, then discovered the base boundary limit, then discovered articles on extending that boundary....
Out of interest, if you build a base on the sea floor with no land near by, where does your ship end up if you warp in? I mean, I could find out myself but I'm busy gathering crystal sulphide to build enough glass tunnels to write "boobs" on the sea floor.

[fleet folio]

Close to the base computer. And yes, this does mean it can be very poorly positioned and underwater

I ended up building a tunnel to the surface, putting a landing pad there, and bypassing the problem entirely

[dusty elm]

I'm on the Ice Cold milestone and caught 3 of the 5 with a liver bait, but I didn't look at the full name of it and was wondering if anyone knows what it is?

Oh, and I used it all up before looking 👀

[dusty elm]

Update: I found it, here it is for the Ice Cold milestone

[neat bramble]

dose the mission of the automated traps works on every planet? like will the fish count if i go to the phase 4 planet?

[remote thunder]

yep, should work on any planet with water

[toxic night]

[neat bramble]

ok man thank

[remote thunder]

i dropped 3 to make it go faster 😄

[lusty slate]

Protip: I haven't really extensively tested it. But just from binome fishing for the catalog on main... it appears storm fish chances may be higher during extreme storms vs normal.

(The two binomes where the storm fish was giving me insane trouble were in planets with normal storms. Switched to a planet with extreme and caught them a few minutes to an hour)

Tho I'm still on 5.10, so I don't know how 5.11 effected catch odds.

[wanton frigate]

Cool! I've burned all my carbon building a stairway from the bottom of the ocean on rendezvous 5, and I can't leave till I catch the Angler message but that's the only other milestone left for me,

[brave echo]

Favorite planet of the five fishing spots

Dreato for me

Hbu all

[granite spindle]

This game is trolling.

No bait, 6th fish caught, free legendary, which I have seen people complaining about this.

[teal socket]

you'll get about 4-5 legendary while doing all the milestones

truly rng

[granite spindle]

Is it needed for anything? Should I release it?

[wraith junco]

U need 500k from selling fish

[teal socket]

only release the required amount of fish for milestone, low quality ones. you'll need to sell the rest for the 500k

[granite spindle]

I see.

[teal socket]

sell them to save space as you move along

[acoustic jacinth]

Where can I get the Underwater 100kg fish Milestone?

[neat bramble]

do i get the units and nanites i got during the expedition to my main save?

[tough steeple]

every single planet these freaking sentinels aaaah

cant a traveller have a little peace

[dusk stirrup]

Try using bait that increases catch size. I think spicy chum is a good one

[acoustic jacinth]

I already got it. I had to use scan. But what about the storm one?

[crimson trail]

Anyone here that got the bait list for fishing? 🙂

[wraith junco]

Bait list values will become out of date soon since hg changed values in experimental branch. Also food baits are bugged they are not coresponding to the values they have.

[mental geyser]

Any pointers on finding extreme storm planets?

[tough steeple]

alright phase1 done and got to the 2nd rendezvous, more tomorrow ;d

[crimson trail]

Ty!

[feral scaffold]

Got one objective left to do. Sell 500k worth of fish. Any tips before I get started?

I've saved up most of the fish I've caught already but might not be enough

[tough steeple]

how much is the fish?!

i think that was the first single i ever bought, man time flies

[feral scaffold]

What do you mean?

[wanton frigate]

Look for the weather in red text, I think.

[feral scaffold]

Does selling cooked fish count?

[wraith junco]

Scooter music track

I feel old now

[wraith junco]

No. Need them raw

[crimson trail]

just sell some rare ones and the legendary ones and you probably already hit the mark

[solid slate]

i need a super stormy planet I just got 1 more storm fish i need

[feral scaffold]

Did all mine in r4 as per the advice in the pinned message

[indigo falcon]

i's in the pins (see "where to go" and look for the milestone name in there), you need to scan underwater creatures on the appropriate planet

[lusty slate]

Easiest way is to look for activated elements in the planet's scan info. Ex: activated copper. Most activated metal planets have extreme storms.

[still slate]

I'm going back on this part of the thread and telling my critics that I was wrong. Things aren't very well explained, but I was not locked out after taking some steps.

@red shale hey... I was hoping you saw the part later on where I was humble and explained I saw where I was wrong about the expedition terminus.

[rose veldt]

You don't need to do that 😅

[still slate]

I like to take accountability.

[rose veldt]

Got it

[still slate]

My words don't hold weight otherwise.

[ashen shore]

what does trident key do

[fluid vault]

unlocks chests in underwater ruins, just like the regular "ancient keys" for above-water ruins

[low light]

Doesn't really take as much as you'd think tbh

[icy wave]

Does anyone know what scorched world means? Been to several hot temp worlds and still says it's not it

[opaque musk]

Any world with superheated storms i believe

[fleet folio]

"Scorched world" means any world with Phosphorus deposits or (wild) Solanium plants

[gaunt fern]

so we think they will fix food baits?

[gaunt fern]

if you fish and you get a hot fish it counts, hot worlds give hot fix and generic fish. so might take a couple casts to dtermine for sure

[gaunt fern]

I'm on a lava world that has neither, but as the name implies. hot fish.

[atomic estuary]

🎉

[copper trail]

finally finished the expedition, the storm one dragged it all to a halt, storms just like stopped existing but I finally got the last fish I needed

I released all the fish I caught (besides the one I sold for the 500,000 task) and made 5,831 nanites from it

I caught a lot of fish

[hot marten]

What is advised to take with me when starting this?

I always take a stack of chromatic metal for sure

Apparently Feline Livers? My home planet is lousy with carniverous cats

[dusk stirrup]

check pins

[gaunt fern]

what are feline livers for?

[dim barn]

I crafted a bunch of the baits to bring

I hit a bunch of pirate systems first, and bought a bunch of suspicious tech to bring as well, for the nanites

Some ion batteries also good

Fishing can be rough on some planets, and the batteries also are used in the auto catchers

Actually, can craft the autocatchers in inventory, and send them, as well

[vapid silo]

first legendary

[void cairn]

Hey guys, I forgot to fish for the Angler's message at spot #3. Is there a way to go back to it and get it?

[dim barn]

just hit a teleporter, it should tell you the system its in

can warp to the station

[void cairn]

Oh, does the waypoint stick around?

[dim barn]

I think as long as you stop at the station in each system, sure

But you can also ship warp back, visited systems will show as such on the map

Ive finished it, so cant remember the proper name

There is a pinned message with that info, though

[void cairn]

I'm in the system still. I warped to another planet

[dim barn]

shouldnt matter which planet, I think?

[atomic estuary]

I think I got one of my in a different system entirely
Just have the mission selected and go fishing, you should be good 👌

[dim barn]

ohh, you dont need to be at the exact spot

^^^^ that too

[void cairn]

Ahh, okay. Thanks. Do you fish with no bait for the message? I kept getting fish.

[dim barn]

It didnt seem to make a difference for me, sometimes I got it right away, sometimes it took a while

[void cairn]

Appreciate the info, thanks to both of you :)

[indigo falcon]

no bait might help you get it sooner; bait is at best irrelevant (and a waste to use) and at worst a hindrance

[candid hare]

What should i bring in for the expedition start

[atomic estuary]

Here are some things
#nms-expedition message

[candid hare]

Thanks

[noble bison]

Hello 👋🏽. When you are done can you take angler messages with you back to main save?

[void cairn]

Wait, seriously? No bait for anything?

[atomic estuary]

yes

you can put them in the terminus ant take them back with you

[fickle night]

is it possible to get angler message even after already completed all expedition milestone?

[indigo falcon]

not for bottles or non-fish items

[indigo falcon]

once you've dome all the milestones, that's it.

[fickle night]

Nooooo

😭😭😭

I moved em to primary save, but it's missing the 2nd one

[feral scaffold]

As a new player, this is the first expedition I've done. Have just completed it and got a message saying I can convert my save file to a main save or something. Can someone help explain this further?

Is that what everyone does after the expedition is completed?

When the expedition is over would I lose the save file if I don't convert it?

I'm sort of confused why it's done this way

[solemn bane]

You can start a game in the main game and that is considered your main save. From the main save you can do expeditions from the terminal on the anomaly.

You can also start a game on an expedition, then convert it to a main save when you're done, which allows you to play the main game's content.

As to why it's done that way, I'd say it's because HG figures out the weirdest way possible to do things and does that 😆

[feral scaffold]

Yeah I started the expedition fresh from the menu screen meaning that I now have two different saves. My main save and an expedition save

I thought at the time this was how you start the expedition, not realising I could've started it from the anomoly

[solemn bane]

Yeah so if you wanted you could play the expedition again on your first main save, then send back any goodies you like to it.

[feral scaffold]

Oh okay I might do that. I quite like the rewards in the expedition and it didn't take me too long either

Thanks

When you say, send back any goodies. Send back to where though?

[solemn bane]

Oh, worth noting the rewards from the QuickSilver vendor are unlocked account-wide

[feral scaffold]

Ah okay, again I've not really had much involvment with the quicksilver guy. Figured it was something I'd come on to later

[solemn bane]

To the save you started the expedition on. Technically, your expedition save is actually a save within the save you started the expedition on. Like it's literally a save structure within the save structure of the file 😆

You can put items in the expedition terminal on the anomaly to move them from the expedition save to the main save. You can also copy your ship and multitool over to your main save, and you can hop between your expedition save and your main save at any time somewhere in the pause menu.

[feral scaffold]

Oh okay cool, I'lll definitely try this out later today.

Really appreciate your time taken to explain everything.

[solemn bane]

np!

[karmic rover]

anyone know what a good bait for improving size is?

[broken tusk]

check the pins

top pin guide

[karmic rover]

yeah already checked that, it didnt say bait

[azure jasper]

Oh man this phase 5 milestone is giving me a headache. I blew through all the bionic lures the game gave me already.

[blissful onyx]

Bionic lure and spicy chum are two I know of

not sure if they are the best but they are very good

[tough steeple]

is it new that you can bring stuff from your expedition save to your main save? (perhaps i just never knew it was a thing)

[candid fossil]

Bionic lure is for rarity more than size isn't it?

[broken tusk]

it may be just down to RNG to catch a biggun

i havent finished the Expedition yet but i caught a big doggie early one

on*

[ashen shore]

Hi, excuse me. Could someone be kind and use the command that shows how much time is left before the expedition ends?

I always forget and im not good with commands

[ashen shore]

!exptime

[tough steeple]

its in the pins, ends oct21st

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Expedition 15: Aquarius

Event ends <t:1729515600> (<t:1729515600:R>)

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

[ashen shore]

Oh ok, i just wanted a specific number or something. But "a month" works too

[tough steeple]

21 october is a specific number

[ashen shore]

Makes sense though, gonna need a month to get through all the bloody RNG in this new mechanic

One grands assurance is that you're guaranteed a rewards for every fishing sttempt

[coarse garnet]

Took me a few hours to complete it.
Only storm fish was a little bit harder.

Crafted 20 bionic lures to quickly catch the uncommon frozen and hot fish

Btw fishes caught by the automated traps don't count for the expedition milestones (except the automated trap one oc)

[acoustic jacinth]

Uhh, need help. Where can I get 3 fish that swim only in storms? And what kind of bait should I use?

[atomic estuary]

Look for a planet with extreme storms, they will have activated metal, deep water might also help

Many people got their storm fish there

[wraith junco]

[acoustic jacinth]

Which system in the Expedition has that kind of planet?

[atomic estuary]

I dont have the game opened right now and I dont remember, but I think one of them had one planet like that

Alternatively you can pin Activated metal from Catalogue and Guide and itll guide you to a system with an Extreme planet. I cant guarantee that till have water or storms but might be worth a shot

[acoustic jacinth]

Thanks

[dusk stirrup]

Yes

[viral latch]

I can't deal with this fins of thunder...I've been at it for 2 weeks...I only need 1 more fish for this whole expedition...

I'm on the acid planet in the pins and I've gone through so much fish and rice

[marsh willow]

@melodymuse64 those are good for the sell 500k worth milestone, numbers for sure!

[coarse garnet]

Of course, especially when like me you caught a legendary fish on your first ever trap.
That's also how I can tell these fish don't count for the other achievements 😄

[coarse garnet]

I did it on the toxic planet in rendez-vous 4 system with the extreme storm.
Took me 4 or five 5 storms.

Used salt or bionic lure as bait

[viral latch]

yeah that's the one i'm on. i was 2/3 when i went there. done about 6 storms on the planet. fish and rice specifically states storm fish....still none

[coarse garnet]

I was on the Base "Thunder and salt free" and fishing in huge depth zone

Do you also pretty often fall off the skiff while fishing ?

[coarse garnet]

Oh, I used the lost angler rig too

[viral latch]

No I've been using bases that other people built out there

[ionic karma]

God bless Steve
@fringe agate

The Exo-Skiff now protects against environmental hazards

This was nightmare in expedition

[coarse garnet]

Oh great, would be best to have that before the end of the expedition

[ionic karma]

@fringe agate to late when I already completed it

[cedar jetty]

What best system/planet for the hot temp fish

[ionic karma]

Scorched

[cedar jetty]

so just keep flying till i find water on one :/

[wanton frigate]

if you're still on this, you don't need bait. There are common huge fish. What you need is depth. rendezvous 5's planet has a ~100u deep ocean, just find the nearest bit of land to the temple it brings you to and fish off the side of it.

Bait helps, don't get me wrong, but you can do it on the cheap if you must.

Hot fish - wasn't Rendezvous 2 a hot planet? Think that's where I caught all mine. Edit : Confirmed - That is to say "It's in the pins!" - Planet Odeg!

[dawn nimbus]

Ay tf, I was following the navigation to a scorched planet and it led me to a system with planets discovered by the angler, but there isn’t one here

Tf lol

[fickle night]

Rendezvous 2 system planet is heat planet

Odeg planet

[honest shuttle]

anyone know if the portal coords in the angler messages actually lead anywhere?

[rancid tartan]

After spending almost 30 hours looking for storm fish on the Switch, the patch released an hour ago. I'm finally done! (Did it on PC and PS5 first, then two times on the switch since I didn't know if the bug was save-related)

[gaunt fern]

should be the fishing spots on the rdv planets

[honest shuttle]

so not terribly important?

[gaunt fern]

I wanted to test them, but asked here a few weeks ago and that was the answer.

[honest shuttle]

hm I see

[fickle night]

Lead to their respective Rendezvous planet

[honest shuttle]

so the Rendezvous planet you find it on.....seems a bit weird to do that but. Fair I guess.

Good to know I don't need to keep this save then when i'm done with it.

[fickle night]

You can keep it as thropy

[honest shuttle]

I could but i like to keep my saves clean

Damn you don't even get the portal runes from the expedition..;

that sucks

[mellow flume]

Any advice for the ‘fins of thunder’ milestone? When I find storms I seem to never catch them

[gaunt fern]

there is a pin about a boggy planet E something thats in one of the rdv systems. Maglures are recommended, but the key is that the storms are nearly nonstop on this planet making it quite a bit easier

[honest shuttle]

Alright that is Aquarius done and dusted.

[dusk stirrup]

extreme weather planet, mag lures or any bait that says it attracts storm loving fish

[gaunt fern]

which other baits? fish and rice doesn't have that tag now.

[dusk stirrup]

not sure you'll have to experiment with different baits. I know that usually storm loving fish work as bait for other storm fish

and you can process it in the food refiner to make the bait more powerful

mag lures are the ones you get a recipe for but they require some pretty expensive components for an expedition

[gaunt fern]

looks like mag pulse lures still might be the way to go, or spicy chum. it does appear the other baits are working now in addition to the number/other notes changes. I tested about 40 seafood stew. the appear to work, just minimal reason to use it now.

[dusk stirrup]

well any bait will work but the only ones that increase the chance for catchign the fish needed for fins of thunder need the "attracts storm loving fish" tag

otherwise its just a flat bonus to rarity & size

[gaunt fern]

thats better than what we had. some baits weren't working at all. and still fished up a lot of floatsum.

still not sure how much those notes changes matter. does it double the chance of landing a storm fish?

[dusk stirrup]

just from my own experience, i dont think so, its probably closer to 20% or 30%

very unscientific

[gaunt fern]

hard to test, and might have changed with patch

[mellow flume]

Ok the mag lures definitely helped! Got it done in 2 storms.

[gaunt fern]

Eddible Chum says attracks sotrm-loving fish, that might be easy to make if you have the right type of fish to make it.

salty platter which is any 3 fish combined I think? is 46% rarity increase

[indigo falcon]

check percentages of everything with the patch that was just released, they might have changed

[gaunt fern]

I gaurantee they changed 😄

[indigo falcon]

I'll have a look at the common bait choices later and see what the stats are now

[gaunt fern]

Spicy Chum 79% rarity. I'm sure bionic lures are higher. but haven't found any food yet that is. I'm sure hard to make stuff probably is higher

[indigo falcon]

[gaunt fern]

makes the differences seem greater now.

[mental geyser]

Finally finished! After the Switch patch dropped I got my three storm fish finally. I hadn’t had any luck at all before. Got the on the RDV4 planet “Eo-something” during extreme storms. Whew! I think I went through over 100 magpulse lures.

[indigo falcon]

oof that's a lotta lures, glad it worked out at last!

[marsh rain]

What's a good planet with lots of storms to grind fins of thunder on?

[noble bison]

Anyone else's wonders disapear after the expadition?

[indigo falcon]

see 'where to go' pin for that, look for the milestone

[surreal seal]

I'm finished with the expedition but I haven't left yet if anyone wants my extra stuff

Or would like help

[mental geyser]

There is a planet in the RDV4 system, starts with “Eo” toxic planet with frequent extreme storms. There are some bases there which help a bit recovering from being outside. That’s where I got my three. But I had tried there before the 5.12 patch and got nothing so YMMV.

[gaunt fern]

I've caught 105 Tiny Scuttlefish 😄

201 Rockfins

205 Longjaw Snappers, that must be my highest

[karmic rover]

so should i avoid doing it until i get to rendezvous 5?

[wanton frigate]

Like all of the "catch X of Y" tasks, if you see a likely body of water then fish it for as long as you're happy to, then move on. For me, I spent so long trying to fish up the last Angler's Message that I could have cleared the Lunker task 4 or 5 times with the amount of humongous fish I had to land for it.

[gaunt fern]

same kinda applies to finding storm fish. if you start there, you could knock out all the other ones just trying to get storm fish, as long as you move aroun da bit

[karmic rover]

it takes me ages to just get 1 uncommon fish i need

even with bait

[gaunt fern]

new patch today appears to have fixed some bait issues.

[wanton frigate]

I think the only one you really have to commit to is Storm Fish. Those buggers don't bite.
If you're having trouble with Uncommon or higher, that's just RNG. Sacrifice a chicken to RNGesus, reload and try your luck.

[random eagle]

What is nms expedition?

[karmic rover]

it takes me like 20 fish for 1 uncommon that i need

[wanton frigate]

You have the Blighted badge, dont play coy! 😉

[gaunt fern]

its easier to get uncommon if you use a higher rarity bait like Spicy Chum. I actually get more uncommon than common

[karmic rover]

i cant be asked to get the stuff for spicy chum

tbh its just phosphorus i need

[gaunt fern]

buy it from pilots at space stations

[karmic rover]

you can kill animals with a mining laser right

[gaunt fern]

mealworms would be good too I think.

[gaunt fern]

you can. just sometimes they run away or attack during

[karmic rover]

whats the stat difference

[gaunt fern]

40% or something. its significant, if you are trying to get rare or legendary its best to use spicy chum or bionic lures.

[karmic rover]

so meanworms are better for uncommon fish?

[gaunt fern]

better than nothing, probably better than the day/night/storm lures.

[indigo falcon]

Mealworms: (120 cond. carbon) 30% rarity, 2% size <-- from latest patch

see #nms-expedition message

[karmic rover]

ok

[indigo falcon]

the list there tries to be a combination of highest stat baits and some cheap baits that give good results

[karmic rover]

do you know any systems that have pilots selling phosphorus? cant find any

nvm found the system

[indigo falcon]

https://shirha.github.io/expedition/ this might be useful

[copper trail]

bruh I was saying during the expedition that the fishing thing should protect from hazards

so of course they patch it RIGHT after I finish the expedition

[gaunt fern]

doesn't appear to be 100%, reduction in hazard,

[woven shadow]

I started the Expedition and my Traveler looks like I do in my regular game

Based on previous experience this won’t last long because my Traveler is an Autophage. So at some point they will end up as a weird and possibly disturbing mishmash of parts.

[marsh rain]

When do I get the aquarius flight pack?

[hollow shore]

It is the completion reward, so you get it after having all phase rewards, finishing

[marsh rain]

Do traps count for the fins of thunder achievement? I'll cheese this if I have to

[hollow shore]

Fish have to be caught with the rod, the trap does not count

[hazy sparrow]

Is the exoskiff like other exocraft in that there's no way to put it away, you just summon it again? Also, can it be piloted like a vehicle?

[marsh rain]

you can kind of pilot it
If you summon it again while you're on it it'll slowly move there

[hollow shore]

Correct, it can not be removed again, just relocated. If you relocate while on it, it starts to very slowly move over to the new location. Range to spawn is pretty limited though

[hollow shore]

There is a pin with some useful help for the Fins of Thunder

[hazy sparrow]

Is there any reason to save boots? I did not see an accumulation quest for them.

[marsh rain]

I got 3 in a row after an hour of nothing

[gaunt fern]

no, no value in the floatsom

[marsh rain]

Should I release the angler?

Anything on Abyssal Wonder?

[gaunt fern]

should be pinned.

[iron sedge]

Hmm, so the exoskiff gives hazard protection but only when you stand in exactly the right place, any little movement caused by the skiff moving on the waves and you lose it

[barren oak]

Can anyone help me find a high temperature planet for fish? I have 2 out of 7 but I forgot where it was where I last got the fish.

[gaunt fern]

there are many. but an easy one is pinned.

[barren oak]

Only thing I need left for phase 4

[barren oak]

Where is it? Was it in the previous phase fishing sites?

[gaunt fern]

rdv 2 I think, but I suck at my guesses.

yup rdv 2

[barren oak]

What galaxy was it again?

[gaunt fern]

if you go to a station or any teleporter, prev rdv locations are marked special

[barren oak]

Thanks!

I looked up a guide for phase 2 of the expedition and found what I'm looking for

[pastel jacinth]

Hello, im stuck with finding ''gone fishing 1 and 2''. Im super confused, I warped alot fo times, but I can't spot any planet, that shows where I have to land on. Did I miss smth? I need help.

[bold solstice]

the best glitch to ever exist, haven't caught any storm fish yet and after loading my save aftee updating my switch i just got the achievement

the grind is finally over for me 🎉

[jagged sedge]

I would love to submit messages for other players to find in these bottles we keep finding

[fluid vault]

I thought that was how it would work initially, lol. a little disappointed we can't but maybe someday 🤞🏽

[jagged sedge]

I'm sure the Devs would have to read and approve such messages before they would appear

[zealous rock]

What's the name of the system for rendezvou 3? Friend forgot to get the message in the bottle and I forgot what system it is

[jagged sedge]

I think it's 'Eugeli'

[zealous rock]

Ty, I asked right as he found it 😂

[jagged sedge]

Oh ok

[zealous rock]

Much appreciated

[woven shadow]

Oh good. I was afraid I’d save and reload on my Expedition only to find that my Autophage appearance had been turned into some weird mashup, but I’m staying an Autophage

[quartz mauve]

So Clooose!

[zealous rock]

Next question what's the 3rd rendezvou planet named?

Friend can't seem to find where to fish

[iron sedge]

Might be worth mentioning in the pins, might just be pure RNG, but it seems like selecting the relevant 'find a message from the Angler' task in the expedition menu before fishing causes one to catch said message almost immediately, while having some other task selected results in random other messages in bottles on occasion, but not the required one

[jagged sedge]

Letap Prime

[zealous rock]

Thanks

[woven shadow]

Dammit i gotta get Chromatic Metal I just wanna fish

[jagged sedge]

The ones I really feel bad for, are all the guys walking around missing a boot

[zealous rock]

Lot of missing boots 😂

[jagged sedge]

At least if they buy one from the galactic trade system, they're seriously discounted by now

[lime plume]

If you ever forget which system and planet again, just check the gunter pin.

[jagged sedge]

Yes, Gunter is awesome

[severe mantle]

woo time to try and finish this expedition today cause i dont have much work to do atm

just gotta put on some pizza tower ost and fish 🐟

[copper trail]

I think its really funny how you can visually see a physical fish biting at your lure and the moment you catch it it just instantly transforms into a boot

[zealous rock]

Yes, or the bottles, even "caught" seaweed

[dusk stirrup]

That fish pulled a bait and switch on you

[zealous rock]

Sneaky fishes

[dusk stirrup]

Those are all the ones that get away. SSS class fish but you can never catch them

Might as well keep your boot as a trophy and proof of your lucky encounter

[zealous rock]

Maybe some day

[copper trail]

it reminds me of minecraft fishing, where you can see bubbles travelling to your lure, pull it up and its a pair of leather boots

as if the boots swam themselves over to your lure

[dusk stirrup]

I have a whole storage box full of em

[zealous rock]

😂

[woven shadow]

Man i just got the fishing rig and the game crashed

[woven shadow]

Fishing in Oregon Trail is like this too.

[wanton frigate]

It's worse, you can see the fish as you fling it out of the water, and then its a piece of seaweed or some dead coral. So what were you fighting with to pull it to the surface???

And that's when you realise that Jason is canon in NMS and he's coming after you.

What were the trident keys for?

[severe mantle]

i've been hearing how the scales of fire achievement is difficult and i caught it in 11 tries

[wanton raft]

Anyone know what was in the latest update? Did HG do any notes? I'm downloading it now.

[wanton raft]

I was having problems with it (50+ casts) until I made sure I was on the right planet and had the milestone selected and then it took like two casts after that and it was done.

[woven shadow]

Is it possible to make sushi?

[ashen shore]

stupid storm one is a pain

by far hardest one

[wanton raft]

Did the expedition on the PS4 and had no problems. Now that I'm doing it on the PC I'm having problems with cooking a fish:

It just won't let me cook any fish. It's the only milestone I have left to complete.

I've tried it outside of a base of my own and inside both.

I didn't have this problem on the PS4, but that was a couple patches back.

Am I missing something simple? Anyone have any suggestions I can try before issuing a bug report?

Been trying different things to figure this out tonight with no success. Quite wierd. Any suggestions other than to report the bug ( which I plan to do after some more testing) are appreciated.

[past belfry]

uh, anyone have any tips on catching the storm fish?
I've been doing this for 3 HOURS 😭

my rng is actually abysmal

[past belfry]

I've caught an S-class fish before I've caught one.

so from what I've read depth is a factor, so I"ve been fishing at a depth of 80, and I've been using the storm bait... So I'm wondering why it is just bad lol/

NVM, I litteraly just got my first one... my rng is ass.

[cold tulip]

Yea, its just rng

Got all mine in one storm

[past belfry]

I hate rng now, I got all 3 in less than 5 minutes...

It took me way longer than I would've expected lol

[cold tulip]

Complaining always works

[tight fiber]

Anyone know a good planet for storm fish catching? its the last thing i need to do for the expedition

[indigo falcon]

check 'where to go' pin in this channel for that, look for the milestone name in that post

[void cairn]

Quick question, why can't I place more automated traps? I put down 3 from build menu, but I have 5 more in inventory

Says I can't build more

[meager scroll]

3 per planet / area ? Is the limit

[karmic rover]

the hidden task in phase 5 is catching the angler right

[zealous nest]

Correct spawn

[void cairn]

Are there deep sea gloves?

[fickle night]

3 auto trap per planet

no

Wasnt that added with the expedition as a reward for it? I thought they added a full set of deep sea stuff

[dawn nimbus]

You have to catch the angler themselves? Is it a skeleton lol

[light summit]

Does anyone know if there is any way to transfer companion eggs from expedition save to main save?

[fickle night]

Can't transfer companion egg to primary save

[light summit]

Ok thanks

[indigo falcon]

no gloves, they have the other pieces but no gloves in the set

[indigo falcon]

you'll find out 😄

[indigo falcon]

best to put down a base on the planet with the cool critters and go back from the main save to adopt one

[dawn nimbus]

Do I need anything special to catch this guy? Master ball?

[indigo falcon]

nope. can catch with no bait at all, just be patient

[dawn nimbus]

Hmm

Do you need to be in a specific place?

[indigo falcon]

any body of water on r5 planet

[dawn nimbus]

Great 🙂

[indigo falcon]

good luck and happy fishing!

[wanton frigate]

When I first visited Orsh Sigma, couldn't move without a storm kicking off. Now I'm sitting in my cozy fishing hide, looking for the rain dance emote, and the forecast is nothing but clear green skies and radioactive sunshine.... This game is such a pain in the arse sometimes!

[tall jasper]

Jungle Redfin processed as Edible Chum = Storm fish. Ugh, it's taking forever to finish this 😑

[wanton frigate]

I'm managing the frustration by failing to learn how to wire glitch in between storms. It helps to spread the impotent anger around multiple targets.

[indigo falcon]

if you need to make a bunch of storm fish bait, the magpulse lure can be made in bulk with magnetic resonators (can buy at space stations), tritium (can buy at space stations), and metal plating (also can be bought at space stations)

[wanton frigate]

is there a sugar coated version that the storm fish are actually tempted by?

[indigo falcon]

any bait in 5.12 patch that lists storm will work, none is better than anther except being cheaper/easier to make

[wanton frigate]

Ah, I haven't updated yet, might be the issue.

[indigo falcon]

yeah cooked baits may not be working right in earlier versions

[wanton frigate]

ok, that's weird. As soon as it loaded up after patching I got the Expedition Complete music. So I guess the storm fish were not showing up as storm fish. Or after a hundred casts with no storm bites the game decides "you did your best. Have a cookie."

[tall jasper]

Might have to try this...

[dawn nimbus]

Yesssss I finished it

I caught the secret fish

[gaunt fern]

anyone know the size/day/night/storm details of this fish?

[wanton frigate]

that's the legendary Crystal Jelly - Icy waters, Small.

[marsh willow]

Just finished the expedition on a new game, can I go ahead and do it again on my other saves?

[soft relic]

why would you do that? you can just claim your rewards at the anomaly (works on all saves)

[gaunt fern]

got it 😄

[indigo falcon]

yuo can, if you want e.g. the angler on all your other saves. I didn't see gear or other things I really needed on the other saves myself (end-phase and end-expd rewards are available on all saves once the expedition save has the right to claim them)

[wanton frigate]

Can you do anything with the Angler if you send him back, or does he just sit in a storage box with all your other accumulated crap? Actually, has anyone released him to see if anything interesting happens?

[royal tundra]

I released him. Nothing special

[stone lotus]

I sent mine back because he's a collectible you can't get outside the expedition lol

Mine will NEVER be free

[atomic cave]

I released it as well, seeing of that gave anything else.

[wanton frigate]

Maybe you need his skin to make the missing gloves piece 😄

[stone lotus]

I'll also pay big for anyone who has one and doesn't want it.

30 ship storage modules, 50k nanites worth of upgrades, etc.

[atomic cave]

I also found a base with an open shack, so I could fish in the storm without personal damage. It allowed for a more patient approach.

[pastel jacinth]

Hello, im stuck with finding ''gone fishing 1 and 2''. Im super confused, I warped alot fo times, but I can't spot any planet, that shows where I have to land on. Did I miss smth? I need help.

[high thunder]

Can someone please help me find the message in a bottle from the angler?

[wanton frigate]

On your warp map, make sure that pathing is set to Expedition Route and it will point you towards the correct planet. With the starter ship it might take 4-5 jumps. Note - if you visited someone's base or went through a portal, you might be in the wrong end of the galaxy for this. You might not even be in the right galaxy.

For the message, just fish in shallow water with no bait on the planet you found the fishing spot on

[pastel jacinth]

ah, i was following the expedition route, for a long time now

i did maybe around 15 warps, and i ahvent spot the planet yet, im confused

[wanton frigate]

That happened to me on a previous expedition after I went through a black hole, I was on the wrong side of the galaxy 😄

[pastel jacinth]

oh jeez, but no, no black hole, no changing, i sticked to the expedition route , only

[wanton frigate]

And no bases? Weird.

[karmic rover]

the angler is a legendary fish right

[pastel jacinth]

not a single, sign where i have to land on, no yeelow idk symbol poping up, idk xD im so lost 😄

i was thinking about, i go to the first planet again, where the expeditions start, and go again?

[wanton frigate]

you can get the glyphs from the pins, and jump to Rendezvous 1?

[pastel jacinth]

lemme check

ah , how i type in thse glyphe?

[karmic rover]

just checking but, for scales of fire you use bionic lures right

[wanton frigate]

I didn't - just caught the guy eventually fishing with no bait on Rdv5

Took ages

[karmic rover]

what tier of fish was he

[wanton frigate]

Legend

[karmic rover]

dang

just caught a legendary that wasnt the angler too

bro 2 lunkers in a roe

row

[wanton frigate]

Honestly, not 100% sure - you can find a portal on a planet using charts, or there's a portal on the Anomaly, but I've not used one outside of other Expeditions where it was required, and they gave you the glyphs for free.

[pastel jacinth]

ah, okay, hmh, im pretty new to that game, so haha

[wanton frigate]

Deep waters are full of the feckers.

[pastel jacinth]

System: Stbury
Planet: Dreato

oh i c , i was on that system, but the quest didnt show up

ill we warp back there

[karmic rover]

what planet has a fish weighing 100kg

[gaunt fern]

Many planets, one should be pinned.

[karmic rover]

dont think there is one pinned

[gaunt fern]

How do I do the Abyssal Wonder milestone (scan a fish > 100kg)?
Rendezvous 5 planet (Cayett Major in the system Biychiem) has a suitable underwater creature. Rendezvous 2 planet (Odeg in the system Syasthe) has two. Just scan everything.

[pastel jacinth]

i have another question, if i may ask. when the expedition ends, right. does it will delete the ''safepoint''? or do you can return there, with the next expedtion, or do you always start new, with new expedition?

i wanna now, how much effort i put in, with base building and stuff, idk

[cold tulip]

It is

[cold tulip]

Idk what you mean by safepoint, but if you started with an existing save you go back to it. And you keep the bases you made.

[pastel jacinth]

no, i did not started with exitsing save

*existing

and sorry, i mean save, memorypint, speicherpunkt, in german, idk what its called in english, sorry. but , my thought was, i can use expedition save as main save? does this makes sense to you?

[atomic estuary]

yeah, save file, if you created a new save for the expedition then itll turn into a normal save with story missions and you get to keep everything

[cold tulip]

Yes, it just becomes a normal save.

[pastel jacinth]

ah, okay, thank youu

[marsh willow]

Thanks!

[molten oyster]

Do we know if the community searches are linked to the expedition? Or can we finish it and continue community searches on our main savegame?

[karmic rover]

for fresh sell fish, do you have to sell 500k in total or 500k of 1 fish at once

[molten oyster]

Total

[dusk stirrup]

community research is based on the totality of people running missions in the nexus for the whole game. its not affected by expedition

[molten oyster]

Thanks

[wanton frigate]

just play the game, sell as you go, the 500K happen organically. In fact, just go after Storm Fish, because that will get you way past 100 catches, 500K sold, as many Uncommon-or-better as you need for the environment you're in and probably carry you into the next Expedition.

I'm not bitter

[karmic rover]

you know any bait that attracts storm fish?

[pastel jacinth]

another question. XD do i am WEAK, or the freaking enemies r too strong? whats the matter? do i not should fight alone? i cant manage to fight more than two robotic mini guys, and how i can get a biiig space ship? without buying it for 12million xD , i also cant win a space war.. bcz, i die

[karmic rover]

i think thats more for #nms-questions

but

i use the infra knife accelt

accelerator

its the best starship weapon in the game i think

[pastel jacinth]

ah, i c, okay, ill have a look, thank youu

[hot marten]

jesus it took me like 200 fish to get the legendary one, then I caught two in a row while fishing for the Angler

[karmic rover]

just use bionic lures

[hot marten]

I was

bad luck

[karmic rover]

i got 2 lunkers b2b..

[hot marten]

A-tier fish out the ass

[wanton frigate]

the magnetic one. Can't remember the name. The game gave you 5 but you probably thought they were Sentinel parts like I did 😄 But it doesn't attract them that much, at least not on 5.11

[hot marten]

The one complaint I have with this expedition is it was WAAY too fucking stingy with the inventory slot expansions

[karmic rover]

bionic lures?

[hot marten]

And you need lots of inventory slots for the fishing

[karmic rover]

they attract legendary fish no?

[hot marten]

not specifically

[silent knot]

magpulse lures, they mean

[hot marten]

they just increase the rarity pull like 90%

but that likely means that if a legendary fish has a 2% chance of being pulled

[wanton frigate]

No, you said Storm - that's the Magnapulse lure.

[hot marten]

the bionic lure just increases it to 3.8%

[karmic rover]

the game gave you magnapulse?

[hot marten]

I think it does

[karmic rover]

either i used it as soon as i got it and dont remember

[wanton frigate]

I think so. I ended up making more. Or maybe it was a pirate transponder, they look alike

[karmic rover]

or the game doesnt..

[hot marten]

I think that expedition reward is earthworms, the golden lures, magnas, and something else

I remember it gives you four types

and NOT the night lures

[wanton frigate]

you get the night lures for a later milestone I think

[hot marten]

so that might leave just the day lures, worms, bionic, and magnas

right?

[wanton frigate]

Exoskiff gives you Bionics, Spicey Chum and Mealworms. Shadow lures for the Angler message on Rdv4. Don't see Magnapulse on the list of rewards so I must have been mistaken, and confused some sentinel scrap or a pirate transponder in my inventory for one.

[indigo falcon]

you are never given magpulse ones, I crafted some when I needed some, buying all ingredients from appropriate space stations

[hot marten]

the magna lure is literally the pirate transponder turned sideways

way to go all out, HG lol

[indigo falcon]

Hook, Line & Sinker - Land an uncommon fish -- this gives youthe dangling orbs (daytime fish bait)

[wanton frigate]

wait - is that why the pirates make those weird noises in dogfights?

THE PIRATES ARE SIDEWAYS FISH!

[indigo falcon]

I always knew there was something fishy about those not-so-jolly roger types

[wanton frigate]

When I tracked down the Pirate hideout by tracing the bulk shipment of "Bob" name tags, that should have been the giveaway...

[indigo falcon]

lol

Nope...
I had some irl issues that needed my attention

[median ember]

THERE IS A DOPPELGANGER...

good luck and atlas speed then, (well, atlas chillax, given that this is a fidhing expedition where speed is sort of antithetical to the whole concept...)

[indigo falcon]

thanks for the pin! ok folks, your bait needs are right there in the pins, please direct other folks to 'em!

[median ember]

What is this bait ?

[karmic rover]

just me or is the lost bathysphere helmet better than deep-sea

[pastel jacinth]

r the fish always the same, in the water on the same planet?

[ionic stirrup]

How do I get more irradiated fish? Been fishing for a few minutes and I’ve only gotten 1

Nvm, started using the bait they gave me and got more

Is processing fish better for bait?

[dusk stirrup]

yes

it increases the numerical bonuses

[gaunt fern]

yes, but there are a lot.

[shut pasture]

Thanks for updating this. There may well be better options though it seems like cooked food has mostly had effects lowered. I'm not planning to record the new stats, frankly it was awfully tedious the first time

[gaunt fern]

soem processed fish is better, some raw fish is better

[pastel jacinth]

okay, so, we say like, i go to that spot, and i can fish evry fish out of there? i dont have to change location?

[gaunt fern]

as long as its over 50u deep yes. otherwise if its below that you wont get collassal or large?

[pastel jacinth]

ah!

okay, good to know. thank you 😄

[gaunt fern]

some fish only bite during the day. some only at night, and some only during storms.

[shut pasture]

There seem to be some shallow water only fish too?

[pastel jacinth]

alright , alright 😄 and some r radioactive, right? so i have to go to a planet, thats radioactive? or what?

[gaunt fern]

they have language on them when you catch them that makes it seem like they can't be caught in the deep, but from my experience the deep contains all of the fish. maybe they swim around at the surface?

[gaunt fern]

yup. if that's what you are trying to get. any planet with Uranium or Gamma Root. probably some others.

[shut pasture]

There are also fish that can only be caught during day, night, or storms. And some that are biome specific + day, night, or storm. I don't think there are any that are biome + day/night + storm

[shut pasture]

Are we positive 50u is the cutoff for the deepest fish?

[gaunt fern]

pretty positive.

for sure not more than 50u

[pastel jacinth]

oki thank you

[shut pasture]

Yes each biome (except "dead", plus "haunted" which is exotic) has fish unique to it

[pastel jacinth]

aha o:

okaxokay thx u all

[gaunt fern]

trying to catch the last fish in my catalogue, the ??? colossal haunted fish.

[shut pasture]

Good to know, especially now that the skiff is improved. So I'll juat drop traps and fish in the deepest water possible from the skiff, don't need land

[gaunt fern]

I have several bases on different words, just base computers at the bottom of the ocean so I can skip around to the biomes. I swim into my ship, lift off, then land again and start fishing

[karmic rover]

the skiff got improved?

[shut pasture]

@karmic rover yeah a lot more stable now, among other things

Being able to drop a trade rocket/nutrient processor on the skiff is nice

[pastel jacinth]

yeahg that was my plan also

[naive crypt]

What did yall do with the angler?

[shut pasture]

Nothing, ended the expedition

[fluid vault]

kept him ❤️

[shut pasture]

Damn they even reshuffled some of the bait attractions, assorted roe no longer attracts stormy

[gaunt fern]

same for fish and rice.

I have tons of salty platter, not sure what to do with it

[shut pasture]

Enh it's still decent for rarity. I'm using seafood stew to use up c and b fish

[gaunt fern]

spicy chum is 79% now. so 40+ has kinda been my cutoff

[carmine plover]

can i sell the fish i catch in the expedition or will they be necessary later on?

[shut pasture]

Yeah spicy chum is great

[gaunt fern]

selling is fine option. release for nanites is another good option.

[carmine plover]

ok thx

[shut pasture]

Give the salty platter to cronuts

Should have visor tech or something that shows us water depth

[left ether]

what purpose do recovered messages serve, exactly? does the word at the bottom mean anything?

[fluid vault]

at the moment i think they're just little bits of flavor text

expedition story for the angler's diaries, flavor text for the regular "recovered messages"

[left ether]

i see. im just trying to figure out which items to bring back to my main save. i guess i dont need to worry about those then

[lusty slate]

Yeah, that one's a bit elusive. It was the last haunted legendary I caught

[feral scaffold]

Hey guys, I've completed the expedition on a fresh save file but I'm thinking of doing it again on my main save file. What do I risk losing once I begin the expedition? Do I keep my suite/multitool/ship/freighter + technologies?

[shut pasture]

In rough seas you can place traps in your skiff

[left ether]

are the glyphs at the bottom of angler's diaries just the rendezvous points or smth else? i havent actually checked

[shut pasture]

They're the rdz yes

[feral scaffold]

Or is it better to keep my main save separate?

[crude comet]

So when you start it from your main save you’ll go to the anomaly where you’ll interact with a terminal that’ll allow you to bring a certain number of upgrades and items with you, then once in the expedition you have to make it back to the anomaly first but you can retrieve those items and then use nanites to copy your multitool and ship that were selected when you began the expedition. And then conversely whatever ship and multitool are equipped when you end the expedition will be what you are able to copy back into your arsenal in the main save.

[woven shadow]

Back to space fishing! I managed to copy over my ship and multi-tool from my main save

[elder peak]

it´s so frustrating doing fishing for hours, wasting resources and no icy uncommon fish appearing

[gaunt fern]

what resources? did you get icy common fish

[elder peak]

trying to get the sometimes, but not really, i mean it´s difficult bc i do not have resource for any good grade bait and already used the one the game provided to do the radioactive fish, even that took its time

so now mostly using meat bait, which just marginally improve chances

[gaunt fern]

mealworms should be good easy bait to make

[elder peak]

and see there is also a hot fish, coming further along

ok but does that help to get more icy fish or more uncommon ones ?

[gaunt fern]

nothing gets biome specific fish.

but higher rarity bait would get less common and more uncommon/rare/legendary

[elder peak]

i see thx

i heard fishing while a storm of the appropiate weather makes more likely to get icy or hot fish, is that true ?

[gaunt fern]

I don't think so. be more likely to get your storm fish, which is one of the milestones.

[elder peak]

ok

[gaunt fern]

if you have them, you should put on your mag pulse lures every storm until you have your 3 for the THunderfin milestone

[elder peak]

i do not , starting game just recently so i´m a newbie with limited materials

[gaunt fern]

buy up Cromatic Metal when its forsale at a space station or from traders at space stations. I think thats the main thing needed. and Mag resonators?

[elder peak]

ok will see about that thx

[indigo falcon]

tritium and magnetic resonators. recipe for the useful baits are in a pin in this channel listing a decent slection of them

for the magpulse lures I was able to buy the materials from the right space station(s)

which stations have what: https://shirha.github.io/expedition/

[elder peak]

oh that is useful thx

[median ember]

I saw the pin that you eventually get the junk out of water but I keep getting fish

[feral scaffold]

Amazing thank you for taking the time to explain 🙂

[indigo falcon]

no bait, fish from shore (shallow water) and just be patient

[median ember]

No bait fishing from shore...
Got an 🐠

😆

And yes I was very patient

[indigo falcon]

release for nanites or sell for the 500k milestone then 😛

I've gotten a legendary from shore w/ no bait (first fish I ever caught too). still, best chance of junk is that way

[hazy sparrow]

I'm seeing a lot of bases growing gamma weed. Am I missing something? Does it make good bait?

[indigo falcon]

bionic lure needs lubricant = gamma weed and faecium

[hazy sparrow]

Ah, k

[feral scaffold]

Is there not a glactic trade terminal in the anomoly?

[hazy sparrow]

Nope

[feral scaffold]

Ok

[indigo falcon]

just teleport to the nearest space station 😛

[feral scaffold]

Just thought I'd check before running aroundf everywhere

[feral scaffold]

Okay thank you

[median ember]

I got another A...
And then a bottle..
And it was a pond I could stand in..

[indigo falcon]

a bottle, that's "not a fish" but I dunno if it counts

might need a junk item (boot or other)

luckily lots of travelers seem to toss their old boots into the water on all these planets 😛

[crimson trail]

Getting stormy fish is the bane of my expedition 😦 anyone got some handy tips? 🙂

[finite wadi]

Hey man, not trying to be annoying but it shows the link of your dc server is invalid

[rose ferry]

The rng in this expedition stinks

[hazy sparrow]

Yes, this is my least favorite expedition ever due to just that. I've used magna lures in 3 storms and have yet to get ONE fish.

[gaunt fern]

there is a pinned planet with lots of storms. use mag pulse lures.

[finite wadi]

What's rng?

[woven shadow]

I still have to catch uncommon radioactive fish….

I gotta make some bait for that.

I need more carbon of all things!

[hazy sparrow]

What bait catches radioactive fish?

[woven shadow]

I am going to fish on a radioactive planet

[indigo falcon]

none, you need to be in the biome and hope

[woven shadow]

With the spicy chum

I have to make more spicy chum

[indigo falcon]

bait are for: more rare, bigger, day only, night only, storms only

[median ember]

It is like so on purpose

To avoid bots and spams

[finite wadi]

Oh dang

I wanted to join

[median ember]

Dm me please

[finite wadi]

You don't accept dms from strangers

I'll have to send you a friend request first

[cold tulip]

Random number generator

[finite wadi]

Oh okay thanks

[hazy sparrow]

As much as a PITA the RNG is being now, I did luck out and catch my legendary within the first 20 casts on my first planet.

[indigo falcon]

good job! I caught several while doing other milestones

I expect that's how it should be for day/night fish too, it was for me

[hazy sparrow]

Storm fish elude me though, that was my 5th storm with no storm fish. (yes, mag lures)

[normal sinew]

I feel the pain. Doing the same thing rn.

[feral scaffold]

Heya, is there a certain point you get to along a new expedition path that you can claim a freighter?

[fluid vault]

you can claim a freighter at any time just like in a normal save, iirc. I ended up claiming one but didn't stay in the expedition long enough to get any use out of it

[woven shadow]

I don’t bother with claiming freighters in expeditions anymore, I am not going to collect enough freighter modules to upgrade it and make it worthwhile

I just copy over my starship which has a lot of cargo space

I need to remember to save ship and exosuit expansion modules to bring into my expeditions. I forgot this time around

[feral scaffold]

I've just started a new expedition on my main save but I've not started with enough nanites to copy my ship and tools

[karmic rover]

when do you think the expeditions Will rerun if they rerun this year

[hazy sparrow]

Most of the space station rep vendors give away freighter modules if you are max rep, so you can always come back after the expedition is over.

[cold tulip]

Sell some sus packs

[elder peak]

how to get recepie for Magpulse Lure i do not see it under curiosity

oh i see it nevermind

[woven shadow]

Okay I gotta make chum bait and catch radioactive fish

I am guessing they will look like Blinky from The Simpsons

But anyway I gotta get carbon and mordîtes

[late kiln]

Trying to find an appropriate planet for "In Hot Water" is starting to grind my gears

I've lost count of the number of water systems I've jumped to. Any scorched plants I've found don't have any bodies of water.

[gaunt fern]

all the key systems are pinned here in this #nms-expedition

[late kiln]

I cane see anything for that specific objective. Maybe I'm being blind!!

[gaunt fern]

Where do I find a scorched world for high temperature fish?
Rendezvous 2 planet (Odeg in the system Syasthe).

[late kiln]

Thank you!

[woven shadow]

Wooo, i have lots of spicy chum bait

I need to learn the lubricant recipe so I can make lots of rare fish bait

[willow sapphire]

I have never done an expedition before this will be my first, do i just go to the terminal and start? it says make a copy of your ship and multi tool?

[wanton raft]

The cook a fish milestone is still blocking me on the PC! It's the only thing I have left. Others have said it's still working for them, but I don't know why it's not for me. Any suggestions to try?

I even tried dumping my nutrient processor, going somewhere else and creating another one just to see if my first one could be bugged. That didn't help.

[gaunt fern]

takes 1200 gamma root to make 20 bionic lures.

[wanton raft]

Tried all cooking kinds of different fish and no luck. I can cook meat and other things and it works, but not fish.

[gaunt fern]

what do you mean?

[wanton raft]

Sorry miss typed fish and meat there.

[gaunt fern]

you can cook meat but not fish?

[wanton raft]

Yes, it's wierd. It worked on the PS4 for my first run but not on the PC.

[gaunt fern]

what happens when you put fish in the nutrient processor?

[gaunt fern]

strange, add a second and/or third fish

[wanton raft]

I think I tried that, but I'll do it again. Gota get back in the game ...

[gaunt fern]

any 2 fish make assorted roe, and any three fish make salty platter.

[willow sapphire]

this is telling to charge the hyperdrive but the celeste doesnt have a hyperdrive lol

[gaunt fern]

normally I'd use two different types of fish but strange. are you on the latest 5.12?

[willow sapphire]

nothing to install either

[wanton raft]

That time it's two of the same and a third different fish.

Three different fish:

[wanton raft]

I've tried this when my processor is outside of in my base either one.

[gaunt fern]

they should work anywhere you can set them up

[gaunt fern]

collect milestone reward maybe?

[wanton raft]

Yep, I'm grabbing at straws bigtime now.

[wanton raft]

When you take all the fish out of the processor what does the title of the output box say?

[willow sapphire]

i checked

im not sure

guess its broke lol

[gaunt fern]

Refinery Output

[wanton raft]

Does it say Refinery Output like mine? Guess so ...

I can make yeast.

[dusty elm]

Completed the expedition, my favorite one by far. Probably do another round. 🙂

[willow sapphire]

i think i might be boned lol

no place to install or charge the hypedrive

really chaps my butt lips lol

[wanton frigate]

Have you taken off yet? You get a prepacked one for hitting orbit.

[woven shadow]

Really appreciate all the folks who have set up safe fishing huts and farms

[woven shadow]

It will be worth it for later probably

On my main save I have farms for gamma root and mordite and such, I’ll be able to make lots of bait

Oh golly you can fish through base walls and floors if the room is right down at water level

[wanton raft]

Finally figured it out. Stupid me. I hadn't disabled the FastRefiners mod. Duh! Serves me right! That's the only mod I had going and I'd just forgotten it was there.

I hope they eventually make it so it will very the catching fish animations depending on the type/size/etc of the fish.

So, for example, if the fish is a crab it will look like a crab or a shark it will look like a shark etc.

I haven't tried cooking many different fish dishes yet. Have people uncovered all the fish recipes yet?

[shut pasture]

Guess not

I know there's a marine pie and fish biscuit

[elder peak]

once you are done with expeditions does the systems you discovered are also unlocked on main save to teletransport to ? I do not see them, despite having all systems appearing as "discovered"

[summer kraken]

Really the most complex involve:
• Two raw fish (Assorted Roe)
• Three raw fish (Salty Platter)
• Two COOKED fish dishes (Seafood Stew)
• Three COOKED fish dishes (Sea's Bounty)
• Any fish + Pie Case (Marine Pie)

Other than that, there are a good amount of single seafood dishes. Generally the dish is related to the type of seafood (so all Eels and eel-like seafood will result in the same dish when cooked, and all octopi result in the same dish, ect)

Nothing special with the cooking, but it's still nice the Nutrient Processor wasn't forgotten about.

[gaunt fern]

I think seafood stew can be one cooked and one uncooked

[summer kraken]

Not from what I find.

It's either two cooked, or no stew.

[gaunt fern]

maybe I'm thinking fish and rice

[summer kraken]

Yeah.

[naive crypt]

Salty Platter has really decent bait stats ngl

[indigo falcon]

a note that some good baits are pinned in here in the channel, have a look if you haven't already

[crimson trail]

Ty ❤️

[karmic rover]

when expedition 15 ends they will start rerunning the expeditions from this year right

[crimson trail]

We will either get rerunns of older ones or a new update 😍

[stable obsidian]

We still need worlds part 2

Hawt take

The fishing is kinda ehh. Its not really worth doing.

Not all that much to do with the fish that is gamechanging

[coarse garnet]

Healthier food

Does Angler rig have same stats as standard fishing rod ?

[wraith spruce]

reruns are around christmas

[feral scaffold]

Can I check, we have 5 weeks left until the end of the expedition right?

[gilded geode]

when first expedition will be rerun

[indigo falcon]

yes, the difference is only in appearance

[soft pilot]

hi, is there a trick to catching something that's not a fish, i've been trying for over an hour and i just keep catching fishes 🙂

[coarse garnet]

Being unlucky and not using baits

[soft pilot]

hehe ok thanx, so completly random

[iron sedge]

Focus on the tasks limited to specific planets (like the frozen/irradiated/etc fish) and the more generic tasks will likely complete themselves along the way, there's no need to do them in order

[tawdry vector]

Yeah, you have five weeks before the expedition ends.

[feral scaffold]

Thank you! 🙂

[tawdry vector]

I would like that if. Missed out on the Omega expedition.

[ruby hollow]

They will

[feral scaffold]

If I claim a freighter in the expedition of my main save, what will happen to my other freighter?

[fluid vault]

your other freighter is safe, your expedition freighter will not transfer over at the end and will be converted to credits / nanites instead

[feral scaffold]

oh okay. So best not to kit it out too much then?

[fluid vault]

yeah no need to worry about upgrading it really

[feral scaffold]

I just need the extra storage for now

[fluid vault]

it's useful as extra storage yeah but otherwise you won't be in the expedition long enough to need any freighter upgrades ngl

[high thunder]

I caught the legendary jellyfish thingy. is that rare? I wasn’t even looking for it.

[soft pilot]

is there places to buy baits eventually or recipes to craft some?

[indigo falcon]

sure it's real and it's a milestone I believe

[indigo falcon]

you craft them, you are given the recipes from one of the milestones. there are also some that are cooked. there's a pin in here with some of the better baits

[soft pilot]

@indigo falcon ok thanx

yeah i have a milestone to cook a fish, no idea how yet

[polar bolt]

In expeditions, how to get all portal glyphs?
Because I activated a portal but there's no glyphs

[languid spoke]

if you want to get the glyphs you can try and search for travellers on space stations.

[polar bolt]

I mean to say that my expedition save doesn't know any glyph letters

[atomic estuary]

yeah, it doesnt. Its meant to be this way

Some expedition give glyphs as a milestone reward, current one doesnt

[languid spoke]

that means that if you want the glyphs in this expedition you will have to do it the old fashioned way

[polar bolt]

I see, I got 2nd angler's letter which has portal glyphs. I wanted to go there & I see that my expedition save became illiterate

[polar bolt]

I'm new player, came in v5.0. So I don't know old fashioned way 😅

And I came in Space anomaly station, there's no body here 😶

[languid spoke]

the anomaly is not a space station in that sense

you can type "!faq-portalglyphs" in https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/372164853286305802 to get more info on how to gain access to glyphs

[karmic rover]

never, unless they dont have enough expeditions done in a year, they might bring some rewards from that

[indigo falcon]

the glyphs in the angler messages just point to the rendezvous planets, nothing interesting

[wanton frigate]

Nutrient Processor.

[sullen monolith]

They technically already did earlier in the year

That was how i got the golden vector

[gilded geode]

bro

missed ts

[soft pilot]

hi, I was told aa long while ago that when your inventories are full and you collect stuff, it may go into a sort of invisible inventory, how do i access that?

@wanton frigate ok thanx

[remote thunder]

press quick transfer on a free ship cargo slot

[soft pilot]

ok thanx bk

@remote thunder nope it's not showing me what i know is there

i have 2 exosuit chrts, i know because the cartographer sees them but i cant find them anywhere

[remote thunder]

try in a free exosuit cargo slot

[soft pilot]

ok

nope

[remote thunder]

what do you mean when you say the cartographer sees them?

this is an issue we can take to -help actually, if you don't mind

[soft pilot]

ok i knew i turned in 2 missions that rewarded me each with one exosuit expension chart, could not find them, so i went to cartographer to see if i could trade charts and it could see that i did have charts i could trade

ok to help then

[tall jasper]

Man...the storm fish was such a PITA. Thanks to @indigo falcon I was able to use the bait lure but still had to move around to different systems and finally get the last fish

[raw fog]

which bait attract big fish?

[naive crypt]

You don't need bait for em

Go to a water body with depth more than 50u

When you cast your line and the 3 holographic fishes pop up, look at them. If all of them are medium sized or one is small, you won't get large or colossal

[naive crypt]

The key is using medium sized fish you caught as bait to scare the other medium/small size fish away

[marsh willow]

Does bumping the line have any effect on the fish biting! I would bump the line and it seemed like the fish got more aggressive on their hit!
Imaginary or not??

[naive crypt]

None in my experience

[marsh willow]

May be me having old habits on the pond fishing for panfish, made me feel like I was sitting on the dock, watching and waiting on that float to disappear 🫠
61 year old men and their fish stories 😂

[tall jasper]

I tried so many combinations and processing for storm fish but none worked until I did the Magpulse lure 😦

[naive crypt]

Maybe it was just my luck

I found 2 C class Heat storm fishes and one B class

[tall jasper]

I had zero luck lol. I swear I spent like 5-6 hours just with the storm fish part alone.

[naive crypt]

I was trying since yesterday but I was focusing more on High temp fishes

[halcyon sundial]

I finished the entire expedition in.... 8 hours?

[tall jasper]

11 hrs for me

I never wished for more frequent storms

[halcyon sundial]

Meanwhile me on my extreame heat planet.

[marsh willow]

I did the Boggy Planet on Spot 4, took about 4 storms to get done. I did find if you're fishing from cover, instead of out in the storm the fish didn't count!

[halcyon sundial]

can we not burn again

[halcyon sundial]

Oof. I did it in one storm

But that's cuz I was like ooo radiation storm. Time to fish

[marsh willow]

Toxic Storms were rough! Did a lot of battery recharge!

[naive crypt]

So that's why I wasn't able to catch any before fishing on my ship

[mellow badge]

fishing in VR is interesting with the fishing rig, actually flicking the rod like a real one to cast, though it took a few catches to figure out how to catch every time, caught like 13 fish before I got the message in a bottle in Phase 2

got a second Multi-Tool specifically for the fishing rig

wish I could change the angle of the rod so its tilted forward a bit more, holding it like a sword is odd, I usually hold a rod like im gripping a shotgun

[agile sage]

Same

[turbid cedar]

can you like

not reply ping to a two week old message

[sonic oar]

Same

[high thunder]

Dementia?

[indigo falcon]

I caught from a shelter and it worked just fine; many other players have reported the same

[clear hornet]

Is Ice Cold bugged ?

I've caught numerous uncommons, but they don't count ?

[remote thunder]

must say:

[clear hornet]

I am on a icy world

[remote thunder]

yes, but not all caught fish on frozen biomes are specific to that biome

iow, you've been unlucky so far, if planet has frost crystal on resource list

[clear hornet]

It does

[remote thunder]

that's a suitable one yep

just got to keep trying

iow, you're not doing anything wrong

[clear hornet]

Omg what the hell... I just caught a rare and that didn't count ?

[remote thunder]

if it doesn't say "icy and frozen waters", no

using any bait? i'd try not using any

although i was using storm bait when i got that fish

[clear hornet]

This mission is way too specific, jesus

[remote thunder]

(i cut the image, it was also a storm fish)

[clear hornet]

... I finally get an icy and frozwn one, but it's a common one... >_>

[remote thunder]

try using bait to increase rarity, if you're not already

[clear hornet]

The game is trolling me hard rn....

Finally....

[clear hornet]

Is the corroded relic just for selling ?

[winter rover]

For some reason the last Angler message bottle just doesnt wanna come up. Im on RV5 planet. Bug or bad RNG?

[gaunt fern]

no bait right?

[winter rover]

Ye, removed the bait as I figured it might prevent it from occuring

[gaunt fern]

getting other flotsam I assume?

[winter rover]

Floatsum?

[cold tulip]

Bad rng most likely

Takes hrs for some ppl

[winter rover]

The first 4 took a few seconds..

I also got a legendary fish on R5 planet in only 3 tries with biolic lure

The RNG is wild

Ah okay just as I say that the bottle pops up, alrighty then

[cold tulip]

Complaining pleases rngsus

[winter rover]

Seán saw my complaint and hooked straight into my CPU to manipulate the RNG

[gaunt fern]

interesting, guess they ditched communication beacons in the expedition eh?

[winter rover]

Is this supposed to happen?

[gaunt fern]

I don't think it counts

[teal socket]

sure

[winter rover]

It did complete the objective though

[gaunt fern]

maybe traps work now for stuff

[winter rover]

Another legendary in a trap o-o

[hazy sparrow]

Any tips for Scales of Fire? I am:

• On my skiff
• In deep water (over the ruins of point 5 actually)
• Using the Angler's rig
• Using Bionic lures
  I've gone through 40 lures with no luck. Any tips?

[atomic estuary]

try extreme planet and deep water, 70+u

I got nothing until I tried that

[gaunt fern]

since its not collassal, shallow water should* work better

[hazy sparrow]

Every guide I read said deep water.
LOL, made sure I had the quest selected, and got it in 2 casts.

Note the Tentacled Figurine does have some effect; its border lit up when I put it next to Polo.

[woven shadow]

I need to find a swamp planet to get some faecium

To make lubricant

Or I need to feed animals until they poop.
