nms-expedition

[woven shadow]

Oh! Actually someone gave me a recipe for something that isn’t officially bait but works well as bait.

[blissful gust]

you can make faecium by combinind cabon and dihydrogen in a refiner

[icy wave]

Does the storm lure work even when not in a storm?

[atomic estuary]

You still need a storm, best an extreme storm

[woven shadow]

I need to find an extreme planet

[mental geyser]

Check the pins “Where to go” part.

[sharp root]

I'm looking for the secret spot for phase IV. I'm on Orsh Sigma, but I can't seem to find any kind of marker for the spot. Anyone else have this issue? And how can I find it with no marker?

[faint mesa]

There's no spot, you only need to be near water

[sharp root]

Oh great. thank you!

[naive crypt]

By the way, in the patch notes it said Skiff will protect from hazards, but it doesn't

[wooden onyx]

ikr

[naive crypt]

And in the 5.1 update they said it floats on the roughest waters, I call bullshit on that btw

[wanton raft]

I'm not impressed with the skiff so far.

[vernal gull]

LUL

[wanton raft]

I like fishing off the side of my ship (with water jets) better most of the time. That or fishing through a glass flow in my base.

[naive crypt]

Yeah I fished on my ship as well. Haulers make for excellent fishing stand

And if you are low on hazard prot, just hop in

[wanton raft]

They needed to make the skiff look like an old fishing boat where you have a nook to get out of the elements.

Or make it a mod to the sub.

They also need to make an underwater harpoon so you can catch sea monsters.

LOL

But I want a lot of other features first.

I suspect that we'll get features which look a lot like features which LnF is going to have!

Wonder when we're getting space dragons!

[wanton raft]

Thanks!

[gloomy carbon]

anyone have an estimate on how long this expedition takes?

[coarse garnet]

Faecium + oxygen gives more faecium

[gloomy carbon]

i like to do them with no breaks and i think i have the time but i wanna be sure

[candid fossil]

From what ive seen from people here its roughly 6-12hrs depending on rng for certain milestones

[gloomy carbon]

well then

a weekend expedition it is

[indigo falcon]

so, there's a point near the center of the skiff that, if you stand right on that, it will protect you. but it's just a single point. clearly a bug, please do report it to hg

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[indigo falcon]

that goes for everyone having this issue (which should be every single player that uses the skiff)

[wooden onyx]

looking for an interloper with all 16 glyphs while in expedition mode to portal me somewhere, please request whatever payment

[naive crypt]

!service-bot

I am never gonna figure out how Gunter works

[peak galleon]

I can't open 2-2

[woven shadow]

Which pin has “Where to Go”?

[peak galleon]

Help?

[wanton frigate]

You'll kick yourself. It's the pin that starts "Where to go..."
Click on it, there's a lot more in it than you can see in the pins display.

[woven shadow]

Okay, I am looking on mobile, I may need to look on the desktop to be able to find it

Hm. I also need cobalt. So I need to find a planet with cobalt deposits or a cave.

(I want to make the MK2 personal reactor.)

[wanton frigate]

Also on mobile but
#nms-expedition message

The new interface for discord sucks

You'll find cobalt on any planet in every cave. There's usually a cave near your ship at the start. Or just look for underground features on the visor - subterranean relics or humming sacs etc.

When in doubt, buy it at the nearest Terminal

[woven shadow]

Yes I plan to do that

I did try to buy it in this system but it wasn’t in stock

[wanton frigate]

Cobalt? More like Nobalt - amirite?

Is this thing on...?

[indigo falcon]

buy from a pilot, you might have to be a little patient in case some don't have it

[woven shadow]

Ooh! I caught my first legendary fish!

[wanton frigate]

Did you do it without even trying, with no bait? Make sure you mention that to anyone who's struggling with the Myths of the Deep milestone, the gravel from their teeth-grinding makes great bait!

[woven shadow]

I wasn’t trying for it at the time. I was using Spicy Chum bait.

[indigo falcon]

the very first fish I caught in the worlds update was a legendary, no bait.

[lusty slate]

It's way easier to buy cobalt from pilots at space stations. Some station galactic terminals also have it.

[woven shadow]

I was also on the 5th rendezvous planet at the time

[indigo falcon]

all galactic terminals at space stations have it, unless you are in multiplayer and someone in your lobby bought them out

[woven shadow]

Does it take a really long time to get the 5th message in a bottle or am I having trouble because I haven’t completed all the milestones before that one?

[wanton frigate]

I got the first few in 2-3 casts. 5th took me an age. I think it's just RNG, but move to shallow water and don't use bait - could be superstition but that seemed to do the trick.

If you haven't already gotten Lunker though, stay in the deep water till you do!

Won't take long on Rdv5

[muted wave]

what starting gear do you get this expedition?

[indigo falcon]

it's just game rng. you might get "lucky" or you might not, only thing you can do is fsih for it without bait, probably shallower water is better

that's all

[fickle night]

Helloww does anyone has screenshot of anglers diary %party_2% ?

[dusk stirrup]

it took me a while too

[indigo falcon]

I probably do but would have to verify which oneit is

[fickle night]

I don't know which one is it, because im missing the %party_2% 😭

[indigo falcon]

give me the first few words of 1,3,4,5 please

[gaunt fern]

?

[fickle night]

Wait lemme check

[hollow shore]

That looks correct, it has the 2nd message and points to the 3rd system fishing spot

[fickle night]

%party_1%

%party_3%

%party_4%

%party_5%

[gaunt fern]

the party stuff was a bug for a bit I thought

[fickle night]

oh it's a bug?

[gaunt fern]

it should be the coordinates

[hollow shore]

Yes, it shows the 'internal' variable identifier instead of the text, or in this case the glyphs it is meant to show

@fickle night And there is actually no message that shows %PARTY_2%. There is a 5th and final message after the last one you posted above, but it will not have glyphs

[fickle night]

ahh okayy then i've got it all already then

thankyou for the clarification

[hollow shore]

Here is the last message as a spoiler:
||A scrap of paper recovered from a bottle found bobbling in the water. The message on it reads:

"The fire has faded from my catch's scales, and my dreams have soured. I thrash through the night. My skin itches, damp and clammy. Salt seeps from my pores.
It longs to be free. I cannot keep it contained like this. It must be free.
I must be free..."||

[gaunt fern]

I can't seem to get the skiffs environmental protection to kick in

[hearty briar]

Hi I am new to NMS, if I start the expedition from my main savefile, will I lose the progress that I made so far?
I am a bit confused because when I created the savefile, it also had an option to directly start the expedition. I am worried about the savefile just being overwritten to an expedition savefile

[candid fossil]

Everything on your main save is safe. U can even jump between expedition and normal save at the anomaly or in menu and if u start from your main save u can copy your multitool and ship for nanites. U can also take some mats with u but u have to get to the anomaly to get them

[hearty briar]

oh cool alright, thank you

[fading python]

where can I find this 100KG fish?

[eternal berry]

Afaik it's 100kg in total

[mental geyser]

It’s not a fish you fish. You scan it underwater (or from the shore if you’re lucky)

[eternal berry]

Nvm then

[cold tulip]

In the rdv 5 planet

[fading python]

I know but where can find it?

[fading python]

didnt find any in the rv5

[cold tulip]

Its “rare”

Took me like 5 mins swimming

[fading python]

you mean Cayette Major? rv5 planet

[cold tulip]

Yea

[night robin]

Anyone know why depth doesn't always appear in the lower left when we cast a line? It's definitely not affected by being under shelter vs outside, and it doesn't seem to be shallow vs deep. (PC, Steam)

[eternal berry]

Noticed that too, it's a bug I suppose

[night robin]

I was trying to remember if I saw it before 5.12 got installed, and/or if I saw it before I got the LAR, but I'm not sure. If it's a bug, it could have been due to one or the other.

[night robin]

Thanks!

[gritty storm]

End of expedition do we get to keep all the tools and upgrades?

Is it possilbe to merge that into different save

[eternal berry]

You can carry over some packed tech, if that's what you mean, or alternatively you can buy your expedition multitool and ship for nanites

[gritty storm]

gotcha

[cold tulip]

Only the one you started the exp with

[gaunt fern]

hmm an A-class sentinel multitool for sale at a space station in expedition. seems like that'd be a good upgrade over the default c-rifle

[indigo falcon]

there's one tiny spot in the center of the skiff that if you stand right on it, you'll get protection, and nowhere else, clearly a bug, please report to hg

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[indigo falcon]

if you're on a planet where there are no hazards currently (barren in the daytime, lush when not in a storm etc) it won't display, on controller you can use left d-pad or on pc "h" to have it show for a little bit, do that right after you cast to see depth

inside a base if you are fishing indoors, you'll neever get the bar unless you use the keys described above

[fading python]

thanks

[gaunt fern]

strange got The Lunker (3 enormous fish) without having to do it

[indigo falcon]

you might have caught three colossal along the way

I think I'd gotten all three without having to pay attention to the milestone, same for day and night fish

[iron sedge]

yeah if you just focus the planet-limited milestones first (fire/frost/irradiated fish and the angler messages) then you'll likely pick up most of the other milestones along the way without having to really farm for them. RNG dependent of course.

[gaunt fern]

built my base on the boggy storm planet, should have waited to do rad fishing here

[indigo falcon]

nothing wrong with extra fish. that's just more tasty nanites, om nom nom

[gaunt fern]

oh this is a lush planet

[indigo falcon]

no tox? eh no radiation fish then. but still, storm fish

[gaunt fern]

yeah toxic. not rad. got the storm fish

13 mag lures here. took me longer to build my base

[unkempt jasper]

is there any way to make the depth marker when you cast your line show permanently? it fades away when i'm not actively moving

[gaunt fern]

#nms-expedition message

[unkempt jasper]

thanks!

[indigo falcon]

tl;dr: not permanently but you can have it show for a little on each cast if you like

[civic forge]

Where does the auto trap need to be placed? I keep getting it must be built underwater. Outside that base and nothing

[gaunt fern]

surface of the water.

[nova igloo]

where can i find the 100kg fish ?

[hazy sparrow]

Do Wonders transfer back to the main save? I want to "keep" all my legendary catches at least.

[hazy sparrow]

Go swimming in deep water and wait for a big fish to swim by, then scan it for achievement. I got it on 3rd planet I think.

[nova igloo]

and for storm fish ?

[hazy sparrow]

I got storm fish on the same planet, 3rd angler spot ice world, using magnetic lures. One of them I reeled as I got sucked up into a tornado lol!

Look for my base, Ietap Prime Iceberg Deepwater Base. I got it all there fishing off my "pier". Except for scanning the big fish, I had to go swimming for that.

[nova igloo]

thanks

[civic forge]

Thank you

[gaunt fern]

should be an example pinned. definitely at least one on rdv planets

boggy planet in 4th rdv system that has storms almost all the time?

[hazy sparrow]

Many do not realize "record" means "scan", not "catch". I found that solution on reddit.

[hazy sparrow]

I don't know if it will work across saves, but initial tests show inventory in the skiff remains when you store the technology and re-install it.
EDIT: No, they didn't carry over to my main save. All those poor fish, lost in a transporter accident. 😦

[gaunt fern]

Finished Exp in 5:13 (second run)

[kindred stump]

Should I...free him?

[woven shadow]

I found a nice volcanic planet with big oceans for catching high-temperature fish, but it’s a long way off the beaten path

Wooo Golden Jellyfish

[lusty slate]

Did you ever get your missing fish, nathan?

[gaunt fern]

yeah 😄 then I took a break for about a day? and started the exp again from scratch

[lusty slate]

Ha, nice. I have two legendary toxics left and I'm done. I'm already burning out, though, yeesh

[gaunt fern]

yeah, its crazy how hard it is to get some of them. I caught over 200 of some of the "anywhere" fish

each*

[lusty slate]

I have about 20 golden jellies. I also started selling off the general rares...

[gaunt fern]

mine was on a throwaway character I guess. so I was just selling fish or turning them into nutrient mush 😄

[naive crypt]

Big fish found north on the final rendevous planet

Scan the eel lookin fish and it will be over 100kilos

[naive crypt]

Yeah I sold everything B and above and used C class to make salty platter bait

[bold nebula]

Damn I finished this expedition in half a day. I thought I'll take longer

[wintry void]

Most take around 5 or 6 hours

[burnt briar]

I took like 10 because of he storm fish lol

[normal epoch]

can someone please help me get old expedition rewards

[indigo falcon]

typically the expeditions of the current year are rerun at the end of the same year. for others, if you are on pc, there is a mod that will let you rerun old expeditions, I think you need to play offline for this. or you can save edit them in. on other platforms you can use the creative discord's service bot.

[soft pilot]

there seem to be no gloves for the aquatic armour set right, or did i miss something?

Also all of the 'mmessages in a bottle'' you get have a portal address on them, what are they, just the address of the different phase locations?

or is it something else

[remote thunder]

right, no gloves

[remote thunder]

correct, the portal addresses of the secret fishing spot planets

[soft pilot]

ok thanx

that was a quick expedition, started it yesterday afternoon and finished it tonite so a bit more than 1 day

[indigo falcon]

it all depends on the game rng, for some players a milestone with the right bait and all can take several hours, for others 30 minutes... it makes a difference. anyways, congrats!

[soft pilot]

well i had 60 bionic baits for legendary fish and i used them all, had to make 1 more stack before i got one, i got several legendaries in automated fish catcher but they do not count

it is also easier i think when u start late like i did, alot of people have built bases in critical places and also farming bases for different things

when's the next expedition?

[indigo falcon]

we don't know. whenever Sean says 😄

[soft pilot]

🙂

i hope the expedition where u get that cool hovering ship will come back, this is only my 2nd expedition, for some reason i saw no interest in them, now I'm hooked hehe

[indigo falcon]

which one is that, adrift? maybe so. it's one from this year so I think you'll see it rerun at the end of the year

[soft pilot]

someone couple months ago had said most likely around xmas

[indigo falcon]

decmber-jan is the usual time frame for the reruns

[heavy spindle]

Iron Vulture came with adrift expedition yup 👍🏻 I dont use it but yrs it looks cool. I did each and every expedition on ps and steam. As a matter of fact i do come back to no mans sky only for expeditions, because there is nothing more to do in the game 😅 but the recent expedition with the fishing is the worst. Still did it though just to unlock the rewards

[acoustic island]

I literally just landed and put out auto traps to prep for a long fishing trip wth 1st catch

[naive crypt]

Kinda a cross between Scorpions from Avatar and Mando's ship

[naive crypt]

Whatcha gon do with that?

[acoustic island]

Might make a 2 star meal with it

[naive crypt]

Can you even put it in the nutrient processor?

Holy shit can you use it as bait? That would be the worst torcher

[acoustic island]

Great idea

[naive crypt]

Torture*

[mellow flume]

Does the lost anglers rig do anything more than the standard fishing rig? Looks cool tho

[silent knot]

entirely cosmetic

[slim coral]

Hi, do i keep to save my progress once the expedition ends?

Also, are you guys adding text chat to consoles anytime soon?

Voice to text sucks lol, it's impossible to multiplayer with pc players

[devout nexus]

struggling to find any scorched water worlds, anyone know any?

[tame shale]

anybody have an idea where the hot fish are?

[eternal berry]

Do they all rerun at the same time, or each for like a week?

[wise ore]

Dude, I am having an awful time trying to find a scorched planet with water. Warped for almost two hours last night and found nothing. RNG hates us, I guess lol

[fickle night]

Check pinned, it's written as "Where to go" @devout nexus @tame shale @wise ore

[devout nexus]

thx, had a feeling itd be in a system on the route but couldnt remember which one it was in

[fickle night]

No problem

[wise ore]

You, rock man! Thanks

[devout nexus]

wish there was a bait for environmental fish

i caught 12 fish and got 2 hot fish, only one of which was uncommon

did i seriously catch a legendary here before 7 uncommon hot fish

[charred quail]

Exact same fish I caught before the 7 uncommon hot world ones...

[wise ore]

Haha! Nice, man

[soft relic]

I also got a legendary on like the 5th try without using any bait

[devout nexus]

finally

[gaunt fern]

in my recent run, I think the Angler was my only legendary.

[soft relic]

And than it took me 3 hours to get that 3 storm fish

[soft relic]

damn that's unlucky

[devout nexus]

storm fish at least have a bait for them

[wanton frigate]

Wow, look at speedy Gonzales over here!

[soft relic]

The bait just wasn't baiting😭

[fickle night]

Same, on expedition only Angler that becomes my legendary

[devout nexus]

random question, are the glyphs in the angler's diaries just the expedition locations or are they actually anything interesting

[charred quail]

How many days are left now? Cause these storm fishes are HARD to find...

[gaunt fern]

go to the boggy planet in rdv 4, and use mag pulse lures.

[gaunt fern]

just rdv fishing spots that you already visited

[charred quail]

Yeah rendezvous numbers tell my ADHD brain absolutely nothing. I need star system names.

[gaunt fern]

the numbers are listed on the portal destinations. star system names are pinned here too

[devout nexus]

#nms-expedition message

[gaunt fern]

I built a base on the boggy planet so I could fish through the doorway and stay out of the elements

[tame shale]

WOW someone put together a whole a** haunted house experience at their camp 🙂

veyr cool

*very

[wise ore]

That's so awesome

[indigo falcon]

each for a couple of weeks, that's the usual schedule, so it lasts for several weeks all told

[feral scaffold]

I'm in R4 and I can't seem to find the planet Eotrai for love nor money. Does anyone know if the planets on the 'Discoveries' page is representative of the actual position of the planets?

[fickle night]

Top left planet

[feral scaffold]

Yeah thanks I can see that I mean in the actual game.

So is it actually closer to Orsh Sigma than the other planets for example?

[crimson badge]

[wise ore]

I’m so late to the party and this is my first expedition. When they do re-runs is it all of them or do they just do a select few? Sorry if dumb question lol

[crimson badge]

December probably

[fickle night]

Ahh... Well, it should be yeah, and also depend on which side of Orsh Sigma are you located

Altho, if searching for Eotirai, I'll probably go to the planet with the ring

Cuz if on the wrong side of the Orsh Sigma, i won't be able to see Eotirai..
So i tend to go far away from planets to see all of em, easier to spot which one is which

[hollow shore]

They have so far been re-running the last few, but we can only speculate for this to happen again.

[wise ore]

Got it. I figured that would probably be the case. Thanks!

[hollow shore]

I'd certainly just have a go at this one, then see what comes next. Being on Steam, there are other options to consider if it's the missed rewards you're after.

[wise ore]

Yeah, I am almost done with this one and now I am hooked (pun intended).

Not as concerned with rewards as with just the experience of the expeditions, but rewards are nice too haha. I’ll just keep an eye out and see what happens! Love this game

[feral scaffold]

You can probably do the whole expedition easily in a week and there's still five weeks left

[hazy sparrow]

That's the Starborn Runner from Omega, I think. Great ship, it's my main now.

[elder peak]

if i´m using a shared base while doing expedition but some items it says "in use" does that mean the owner did not gave permissions to use them ?

[fickle night]

There's item inside the refiner maybe

[elder peak]

but same things happen with cooking station, i can only access inventory box it seems

what is worse cannot put my own cooking station given it says "no permission to add to base"

[atomic cave]

When at a space station, go to the teletransporter and look for bases with storm in the name. Also, if you can deploy skiff maybe you can weather the storm and fish those elusive animals.

[wanton raft]

Is Aquarius "Worlds Part 2" or something in-between?

[charred quail]

Yes.

[blissful onyx]

In between update to keep the hype going while we wait for worlds pt2

in other words, yes

[hollow osprey]

Will I get to keep the Celeste ship when I finish the Expedition?

[silent knot]

depending on whether you started from an existing save via the terminal or a new save from the main menu, you can transfer it to your save that you started from

[hollow osprey]

Awesome thanks

[wanton raft]

Yes to both then instead of either/or?

Wonder when LNF is coming. Seems like both NMS and LNFs features will kind of track hand in hand since it's more or less the same engine.

If the pattern continues HG's game after LNF with have No as the third word. 😉 ... Oh Hell No? ...

Guys is there a way I can get the exact loaction of the Angler's final spot (Phase 5)? Because my expedition marker has glitched and is not showing for some reason.

[charred quail]

Time to get yer booty wet, me bucko... Ye gots ta go "visit Spongebob"...

[kindred mirage]

Haha yeah I figured that, but where on the planet? the damn marker is not showing...I tracked the planet by watching a vid

[charred quail]

Should be a bunch of Communication Balls and or bases around the area. I assume that you've already double checked that you have the Expedition step selected.

[kindred mirage]

@charred quail Yeah expedition selected and it even brings up the prompt when I leave the info screen...but no markers to be seen.

@charred quail I'm playing in VR because I'm a special kind of masochist lol

[indigo falcon]

planetary coordinates for every rendesvous spots are pinned along with system and planet names in this channel, check that out. if you're not sure how to use planetary coordinates to navigate to a specific spot on a planet, see this guide https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Planetary_coordinates#How_to_find_a_location_again_using_coordinates

if you get to that spot and don't see the submerged ruin, check to see if there are bases in the area you can report via he quick menu. after that you should see things unobstructed

[kindred mirage]

@indigo falcon Hey! thank you very much mate 🙂

good luck, and happy fishing!

[feral scaffold]

How often can you move items between you expedition save and you main save? Is it a one time deal?

[atomic estuary]

iirc you can send them to the expedition once, but after that you can put items in the terminus on the expedition side and pick them up on the primary save side without ending the expedition

meaning you can send back everything

[feral scaffold]

I've collected quite a lot of things I'd like to keep after the expedition but this is my first expedition I've done so not sure how it works yet

I've just finished the exp so working it all out now

[atomic estuary]

did you start from main menu creating a new save or from already existing save from the space anomaly?

[feral scaffold]

Both

[shell kettle]

1 more month of this 😩

[feral scaffold]

I've done the expedition twice

[shell kettle]

Well, guess I better get to it.

[feral scaffold]

1 more month of people asking for help?

[feral scaffold]

I quite like fishing

[shell kettle]

No I just hate fishing in videogames.

If you add fishing in your game post-release then you've officially run out of ideas.

Terraria did the same thing.

[feral scaffold]

Maybe try playing something else then

[shell kettle]

I don't think I'm in the wrong here, I signed up to play a space exploration game, not... fish...

[feral scaffold]

I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong. Just don't need to hear anyone whining about it

[shell kettle]

Would've been an easier pill to swallow if they at least made it like a mini-expedition or someting, 1 - 2 weeks.

[shell kettle]

You can't hear me this is text.

And you can ignore if you don't agree.

[feral scaffold]

Like I said maybe try playing something else

Something that brings you some happiness maybe

[shell kettle]

Because I don't like fishing in a space game?

[feral scaffold]

You can ignore if you don't agree

[shell kettle]

You're the one whining about people whining, and somehow don't see the irony.

I have no problem with this conversation.

Or with anything you say, even though I think you're being unfair.

[indigo falcon]

so: everyone is entitled to like or dislike things about te game, and express those likes and dislikes (w/o being rude). Plenty of people happy about the fishing (I'm one); plenty of people not at all psyched about the fishing. this is all fine, the game accommodates many different playstyles, which is part of what makes it a great game.
waiting for worlds part 2 to see what new wonders it will have in store for us!

[neat mica]

I can't find a hot planet with water for the life of me

[indigo falcon]

check the pins ("where to go") for that milestone, it tells you

[neat mica]

Say less

[indigo falcon]

might be worth checking out the pins generally, there's useful info in there

[charred quail]

And who are you to judge other peoples's neurological perception parameters? For all everyone else knows Slobatus could actually hear text. Just as there are people who can hear colors and see smells. (It's called Synaesthesia if you want to look it up due to not believing me.)

[shell kettle]

How he preceives it and what it actually is are two different things, sound doesn't work that way.

[charred quail]

To be fair, though, No Mans Sky has kinda transformed into less of a fully stand-alone game and more towards being a testing ground for Light No Fire as I understand it.

[charred quail]

His perception dictates his reality. The world is ultimately subjective. Even though there are a lot of things we all collectively have chosen to call objective.

[shell kettle]

I wouldn't have any issue with that if the game wasn't still lacking in areas that are arguably more critical to a space exploration game than.... fishing...

[shell kettle]

It's the other way around, we choose to label some things as subjective because of our limited understanding, but in reality nothing is subjective. A person preferring apples over peaches has a biological reasoning behind it, we just don't have the knowledge to explain it yet.

(probably)

[indigo falcon]

we are wandering into Atlas territory here... let's keep the discussion to nms (with a focus on expeditions, cough)

[charred quail]

Not 100% certain if the HG crew roam around in here to look for constructive critizism, though. They are most likely too busy sorting through the official bug- and suggestion reports.

Though what you are describing (someone preferring apples over peaches due to [reason] is more or less the very definition of something being subjective...

[indigo falcon]

if you want hello games to know about a suggestion or complaint, you need to go through their reporting process, that's the only way they are guaranteed to see it

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[charred quail]

There we go.

[shell kettle]

I'm pretty sure fixing the combat has been suggested many times, they don't want to do it because that would take a lot of work which would have very little payoff as a free update. Adding fishing is a lot easier.

[indigo falcon]

combat has been updated several times; it's probably never going to be a deep system because that's not how nms is

broad but shallow so to speak

[shell kettle]

They could start by making it functional. All you have to do to break the enemy AI in this game is sit in a doorway or on top of a portal.

I've half a mind to download an older version of the game to see what the combat was like before, because I'm having trouble imagining how it can be worse than it is now.

[indigo falcon]

what's the first update you played?

[charred quail]

"Fix combat" does sound like an extremely vague request in my subjective opinion though. Specifics would probably help.

[shell kettle]

I don't remember, but I started playing the game regularly during the expedition remixes last year.

[shell kettle]

That's correct, would you like me to elaborate?

[charred quail]

Wouldn't do any good as I'm not part of the HG team. Elaborating to https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new would probably be a better choice.

[shell kettle]

Hence why I didn't go into details.

[indigo falcon]

https://www.nomanssky.com/sentinel-update/ you might find this amusing, as well as https://www.nomanssky.com/outlaws-update/ for things that have changed a lot since the early days

[shell kettle]

What's definitrely amusing is that performance mode example.

[feral scaffold]

Back in the day, on first release, people would've only dreamed of content like fishing being added to the game.

[shell kettle]

70 FPS on PS4 hmm...

[unkempt kraken]

@shell kettle

No gifs in this channel please

[shell kettle]

Doubt that.

[shell kettle]

I don't think many people even thought about it.

It's such a random thing to add in a game like this.

[feral scaffold]

Not really

[shell kettle]

Same for cooking, they keep adding stuff to cook, why?

[indigo falcon]

I doubt anyone thought about it on day 1, since other things were on thir minds "hey we were promised X Y and Z, where the heck is it??" but later on people have asked for fishing (including me).

[feral scaffold]

I just meant that when I got the game on release the sheer lack of content relative to what it is today is something to appreciate in itself

[shell kettle]

Tbh game is still lacking content in some of the critical areas. Multi-tools are pretty wack, half of them become obsolete when you get an Atlantid or Sentinel multi-tool, and every MT of the same type looks practically the same as any other despite being procedurally generated.

I've lost track of how many times I came accross the same red and orange or pink and lime pistol.

[indigo falcon]

anyways this game has: pets, cooking, base building (which is its own art form really), cataloguingi minerals/flora/critters, a pile of cosmetics to collect, etc. it's an open sandbox exploration/lite survival game (though you can now tweak diffculty settings to suit what you like more). it's never been primarily about combat, and almost everything in the game can be done with minimal/no combat for players who don't want that. similarly players who don't want to mess with pets or cooking or anything more than a basic base to put down their machines, don't have to.

[shell kettle]

Base building is another area that's lacking despite the fact that they add to it with almost every update. And it wouldn't take much to improve it, one way would be to simply disable anti-clipping measures since they have a tendency to stop you from placing stuff for no reason. Improving the snapping would probably take a lot more work but a lot of games pull it off well so it's definitely do-able. Less restrictions to scaling and rotating would be nice, just make it so that people don't have to spend hours learning a glitch that allows them to do the same thing.

But instead they add... fishing...

[indigo falcon]

well this is spoilers but some changes to base building are in the works (will not say more here, look for videos on the topic, very interesting)

[shell kettle]

I'll take your word for it but I'd like to still be alive when they actually release it.

[indigo falcon]

and I am a fanatical base builder but I love love that they added fishing, my complaint with it is that they didn't give us models for the fish so we don't actually see them swimming or hold them up after the catch. also where is my fishing hat Sean?

[shell kettle]

The same can be said for cooking. I'll admit I'd look a lot more favorably on these 2 features if they actually came with models for each item, it still doesn't do anything for gameplay but at least it's satisfying to look at your wall of mounted fish and think "I've wasted my life but at least this looks cool".

[indigo falcon]

the entire game is just about me wasting my time, right? I'm in it for chill entertainment, and cool pics.

[shell kettle]

True, I had no delusions about that when I went in. But it can at least pretend to have some focus.

Also I was looking through the update pages you sent.

Tbh I think they never should've added the pillars, sentinels aren't much of a threat even when they're active, turning them off basically sets the difficulty to Peaceful.

Adding raids and base defenses would've been a lot more fun imo.

[indigo falcon]

don't use the pillars 😉

[shell kettle]

:/

[indigo falcon]

if something makes the game too easy for you, don't use it.people do challenge runs all the time for this very reason.

[shell kettle]

By that logic we should make god mode default in every game, and just add a key to disable it for those who feel like the game is too easy...

[indigo falcon]

creative is one of the default modes indeed. so is survival, so is permadeath. all there for you to choose.

[charred quail]

Kinda funny to me to talk about an open sandbox do whatever you feel like game having more focus...

[shell kettle]

Creative was added post-release, wasn't it?

[indigo falcon]

it was around in 2016 https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Game_mode?oldid=38237

[shell kettle]

So it's not the default mode. And the only difference between Permadeath and Normal is that the inventory is more stingy and you can't visit your friends' base because they play on Normal.

The only time I died unintentionally in NMS was when I discovered the Geology Cannon for the first time.

[indigo falcon]

that's not the only difference. check the differences in difficulty settings for normal and perma.

[shell kettle]

I already know them, I'm speaking in practical terms. The game isn't any harder on Permadeath, you can still break the Sentinel AI by hiding in doorways, pirate ships are still made of paper, you s till build your reuputation with the other races in 1 - 2 hours at most, the price changes don't make trading any harder since the economy is busted with or without a -50% price penalty, etc..

The only thing that really affects the way I play are inventory restrictions, but not in a good way.

[feral scaffold]

Sorry don't want to interrupt but can I ask a question about the expedition?

[indigo falcon]

well, all I can say is if you don't find the game challenging, and that's frustrating for you, you can make feature requests to hello games and in the meantime spend time in other games that fit better.

[indigo falcon]

yes please!

[feral scaffold]

The modules that I was rewarded with during the expedition, such as exo storage slots etc, do I take them with me back to my main save?

I used them up during the expedition but now I'm thinking I should've saved them and trasnferred them over

[indigo falcon]

not unless you actively ship them back. you can send back up to 8 tech and 24 "other" items (resources and such) to the main save at the point where you want to end the expeditioon

[feral scaffold]

oh

[indigo falcon]

oh, applied exosuit augs? no, those don't carry over

[feral scaffold]

ya live and learn I suppose

[indigo falcon]

you can copy over youractive ship and multitool back to the main save for a cost of nanites (on the main save)

those copies would include all upgrades, storage applied, etc

[feral scaffold]

shame it also doesn't let you for your suit

[indigo falcon]

nope! you could get your guild envoy rankings up to max (give donations or do missions or whatever) and collect suit upgrade items from the guild rep at some space stations; these could be shipped back. but maybe you just want to go back to the main save and do that there

[feral scaffold]

Ok cool thank you

[atomic cave]

Rendezvous #2 has boiling planet with oceans.

[neat mica]

Yea I got it done

Just waiting on storms now

[low jackal]

even with the storm bait, I still need to wait for a storm to catch storm fish right?

luckily already got 2 without noticing it

just need oneeee more..

[indigo falcon]

the baits increase your percentage chance to catch a given sort of fish but the environmental conditions need to be right first, for there to be any chance.

[unique glen]

I can’t catch any garbage for the “They One That…” milestone. I watched a video saying to use chromatic metal, but fish keep taking it.

[indigo falcon]

no bait, and (probably helps) fish from the shore into shallow water

[unique glen]

Hahah fish keep taking it even from shallow water. They must be very hungry

[indigo falcon]

no bait. it's a waste of bait at best, when you're not tryingto catch fish. at worst in this scenario, it might actually impede you

[crude comet]

nah i definitely feel what hes saying, like currently i havent been able to progress the main story because im not really sure what to do to do so... like it keeps wanting me to go back to my base but i dont have a fleshed out base anywhere... and the ones i have gone to werent where it wanted me to go apparently.

[unique glen]

No bait, I’m literally fishing on sand on the shore and the fish still spawn and bite.

[crude comet]

also base building in this game is genuinely tedious and not very well polished

[unique glen]

I’ve even turned up the difficulty to “challenging” hoping it’d help

[indigo falcon]

it's just game rng. regular difficulty settings are fine. the challenging ones just impact timing of you hooking the catch and stuff like that

[unique glen]

How does one even know you “caught garbage” does the garbage…”bite” your lure??

[indigo falcon]

yes, the game mechanic is identical

you'll just pull in a different kind of item

and the fish models you see in the water are identical too 😛

[crude comet]

is it basically minecraft fishing?

[unique glen]

So I’ll see a “fish” but it’ll be garbage??

[indigo falcon]

when you pull it in, it will be a not-fish item

[unique glen]

I remember catching “old boots” in Zelda: Twilight Princess.” lol

[indigo falcon]

I don't know what minecraft fishing is, so I can't speak to that

[crude comet]

cast rod out, wait for bite animation, either get fish or not fish

have you never played minecraft?

[indigo falcon]

nope. not even once.

[unique glen]

Ok, so it’s totally random. I assumed all fish were just fish. lol thanks

[crude comet]

i feel like anyone who enjoys no mans sky would enjoy minecraft

[unique glen]

Calling fish “garbage.” That’s not very nice lol

[indigo falcon]

I've seen a number of videos but the voxel nature of the builds just puts me off

[unique glen]

I’ve tried Minecraft. Ehh..I prefer space traveling and all the other stuff. But my 12-year-old autistic nephew is reeeeeally good at it, and building things using mods. He’s a wizkid at that game.

Anywho, back to fishin.’ Thanks, y’all. Wish me luck

[crude comet]

yeah its satisfying and simple and i mean thats fair but i played a lot of creative so i spent most the time flying around anyway 🤣

its a good creative outlet

if only nms building were so simple

[indigo falcon]

I do spend an absurd amount of time swearing at the build system. but that seems to be true in any game I've tried where there's a building mechanic. Yesterday I lost 30 minutes just trying to get one half-ramp in the right location, trying various tricks and none worked, soooo tedious. Oh well got it done and in the end didn't like it, took it all out and did something else 🙄

[crude comet]

oh minecraft kinda found a sweet spot with theirs so its not too easy but not overly complicated where youre swearing at it all the time except for with redstone because like with real engineering when something you built blows up in your face or you have to otherwise rebuild it you might swear some

[indigo falcon]

mmm my tolerance for rebuilding something I already put in place, it's pretty low

(that's one reason I am really glad nms does not have base defense, I want items I place to stay there intact thank you very much)

[shell kettle]

Instead it has terrain regeneration which is even worse.

[indigo falcon]

gotta respect the terrain or it'll getcha

[brisk plover]

I just started the expedition, and I'm taking random unexplained damage? What's going on with this? I just lost all my shields and dropped to a single 'heart' in just a second or two.

[indigo falcon]

turn pvp off in the options. right now.

[unique glen]

Took awhile, but I caught “tangleweed”

[brisk plover]

Was already off, checked that first.

[indigo falcon]

any hazardous plant around? any chance a pirate is attacking the area (if you have mp on)?

[unique glen]

WTH is going on with the expedition screen?!

[brisk plover]

First guess? Your graphics card is dying.

[unique glen]

Even after reloading my save, these screens are still distorted.

No, I’m on PS5

So weird. It’s hard to navigate the menu to find the damn orbs to select. I’ve seen it do this before in a couple previous expeditions.

I guess I could send this as a bug report.

[indigo falcon]

I had some weird visual glitches in the expd too (also ps5)

I'd report it to hg, problem should sort itself out in a few minutes though

[unique glen]

I’ll manage. Just wondered if anyone else was seeing this craziness. Lol thanks

[indigo falcon]

I've gotten it on solar panel/battery screens, cant' read or select, a mess.

[muted gull]

Hello everyone, I'd need a quick advice: I need to catch 3 fish during a storm to complete the expedition however I've been trying for a while but I did not catch any useful fish even if the storm is active. Do I need to use anything specific or do I need to be in a specific type of planet to catch these fish? Or am I just being unlucky? 😄

[indigo falcon]

any planet with storms will do; using storm fish bait can help; the rest is just game rng and you have to be patient

[muted gull]

Thank you so much. I will try to use that specific bait. It might be the reason why I wasn't able to complete this challenge until now. Thank you again!

[indigo falcon]

note that a planet with more frequent storms may reduce waiting time; see pins "whre to go..." and look at the section on that milestone for info about such a planet

good luck!

[muted gull]

❤️

[hollow osprey]

How do you get the fish out of the boat thing to sell them?

Do you have to carry them all the way to the station from the planet? Like you can't sell from it at the station?

[indigo falcon]

you need to transfer the fish to exosuit/starship inventory to sell them

[hollow osprey]

Dang that sucks, thanks

[gritty storm]

Why isn't my automated trap not catching any fish. It's been 48 hours real life

[indigo falcon]

it should be. try on another planet? make sure multiplayer is off? and wait 30 minutes in the game, see if there's any change

[gritty storm]

Okay, also I've found tons of uncommon fishes but phase 3 ICE COLD task says I only found 2 uncommon fishes so far

[indigo falcon]

you need uncommon fish that only appear in frozen biomes

you likely have fished up a bunch of uncommons that appear eveyrwhere, so those won't count

[gritty storm]

I am on Frozen planet

[indigo falcon]

it will say in the description of the fish

you can catch some fish on frozen/hot/lush/etc worlds, they appear anywhere, see

[gritty storm]

Actually there are tons of people here righ now on letap Prime

[indigo falcon]

so just keep fishing, eventually the third "only on ice worlds" uncommon fish will show up

[gritty storm]

got it

[quick stag]

You can buy a trade rocket at the anomaly and use that anywhere to sell your stuff. Needs a level hard surface otherwise it falls over when you summon it.

[gaunt fern]

I just used my ice box on my skiff to hold everything I fished minus a couple to release and sold them at the end.

[unique glen]

Do caught fish go bad? Is that why we have cold storage in that Exo-skiff?

[civic forge]

What systems work for the hot fish and giant fish?

[indigo falcon]

nope, like every other item in nms, once you have it, you can keep it forever with no penalty (if you have a place to put it)

[indigo falcon]

see pin in here "where to go" for this

Hit a SS teleporter and back track to the Expedition route.

[timber pawn]

Life saver!

[crimson rose]

👍

[gaunt fern]

did you find it?

[timber pawn]

Yes thanks, just need 2 fish from stormy seas and i'll be finished

[gaunt fern]

the E planet in the 4th rdv system is the goto spot. lots and lots of storms. also mag pulse lures.

[plush jetty]

Is there any trick to the "Scales of Fire" or is it just pure RNG?

[atomic estuary]

Use the bionic lure to increase your chances

[elder peak]

how to get large fish

[gaunt fern]

deep water.

[elder peak]

30 is enough ?

[gaunt fern]

50u+ for collasal fish

[brisk plover]

Is there a trick to getting reliable protection from the elements from the skiff? Mine I have to wiggle back and forth to find the tiny 'sweet spot' and even that I seem to drift out of without moving intentionally.

[gaunt fern]

appears to be bugged still

[brisk plover]

Argh. I even specifically waited to start the expedition so that they'd work out the inevitable bugs they always release. 😐

[pine nimbus]

hi guys
expedition chat.. i have one small favor to ask of you
it has been a full Month or so and i still keep forgetting to actually do the expedition
can you guys ping me daily until i remember to do it thanks 🙏

[gaunt fern]

yeah, on the last one I did it in like week 4 or 5.

[brisk plover]

Hey. Do the expedition.

[pine nimbus]

Thank you
Will consider doing expedition

[plush jetty]

I just finished the expedition. My actual save is much farther behind than my expedition. Is there a way for me to transfer all of my items and technology and possibly also my freighter?

[atomic estuary]

Freighter no, but items yes
Put items in the terminus but dont finish the expedition, switch to primary and take the items, repeat

technology too

[elder peak]

can you transfer units or nanites back to main save

[crimson rose]

When you finish the Exp, it cashes you out for items and currency. Expect a big chunk of Units, Nanites, and QS.

[plush jetty]

Ah so sad. I'm glad I didn't take the time to farm an S class freighter then.

[elder peak]

how can you switch to primary save if only option says end expedition

[low jackal]

if you done everything, the expedition terminus won't let you temporarily return to your main anymore

[rancid vigil]

am i doing it wrong? cuz i been fishing and havent gotten it yet

[elder peak]

then it seems technology is mostly upgrades from exosuit bc those cannot be transfered

[plush jetty]

I just noticed this as well. RIP. Not even sure what to transfer anymore.

[low jackal]

which technology specifically are you talking about?

if you store them you should be able to transfer them

[low jackal]

try the legendary bait

one of the milestones give you 5 of them

[rancid vigil]

ah i didnt think it was a fish but rather an item

like those message bottles

last one and im done with the exp

[elder peak]

given there are only 8 technology spaces, and you can copy ship and multi tool, given the nanites you will get seems best to put all technology on those and transfer exosuit technology only

[plush jetty]

Actually, just realized you can return to the main save from the pause menu and transfer items even after you finished the expedition.

[elder peak]

i think it went well, important thing was to transfer exosuit stuff, expansions for exosuit and starship and was able to copy starship which was slightly better than one i had

[plush jetty]

Is there a way to trasnfer all of the exosuit expansions back to original save?

[sonic oar]

Is it possible to know what the next expedition replay will be?

[cold tulip]

Just 8 tech

And to the save you started the expedition only

[cold tulip]

Nope

[sonic oar]

i meant replay btw

i forgot to use words

[cold tulip]

We don’t know, its usually the ones from this year. Last year we also got an old one too

[sonic oar]

gotcha

ty

[hazy sparrow]

Make sure you have the quest selected as your current quest! 40 casts and I didn't get it, then went it and made sure it was my current quest and got in in 2 casts. Also I used Bionic Lures.

[oblique belfry]

Guys where is best place to find 100kg fish

[rancid vigil]

craft storm bait and hope for the best when storm comes

[oblique belfry]

I finally completed my first expedition
Took a bit as I don't have much time for NMS but I finally completed it way before I thought I would.
I caught a cool legendary fish and made money, lots of money.
Anyways, Good luck to anyone still doing it!

Does any one have some cool base files? I can trade with something in game

do we have a redux date? I missed exped 14 : (

[meager scroll]

[west forum]

Which planet is best for deep oceans for The Lunker objective?

And how do you know how deep it is?

[wanton frigate]

The 5th rendezvous planet has ~100u deep oceans. And you can dig into the sea bed if you want more but it's not necessary. Lunkers abound! You can see how deep it is by swimming to the bottom or by casting your fishing line and looking in the bottom left corner - it displays the depth in the same place it would display extreme temperature or radiation, but only for a moment. You can make it appear again by pressing left on the d-pad I think

not sure how deep it has to be, but I had built a 20-30U pit in a shallow ocean for an around 50U fishing hole, don't think I caught any deep water fish in it.

[west forum]

I'm on R5 but having trouble finding the ocean, just lots of land with tiny ponds. Colors make it weird. 🙂

Got to fly into the pink not the blue

Still pretty shallow, just fly around and get lucky?

[wanton frigate]

Or see if anyone's built a base there. Was the rendezvous point not a sunken temple at the bottom of a deep ocean for everyone else?

[indigo falcon]

you can use size-increasing bait and fish in shallower waters if you can't find deep enough spots too

[burnt needle]

Do magpulse lures just not work or something? Used about 50 so far and only caught one storm fish, that coincidentally had a storm hitting at the time.

[low jackal]

it just increases your chance of a storm fish during a storm
you still need a storm to catch storm fish

[burnt needle]

Ah. I'm hating the new tornadoes.

[gaunt fern]

I hide in my ship during extreme wind events 😄 the E boggy planet in the 4th rdv system is great for lots of storms. that and mag pulse lures should make quick work of the milestone.

[wanton frigate]

Build a stilt house with a hole in the floor (or a missing back wall), fish in comfort. It beats trying to balance on the 1 pixel of your skiff that's got environmental protection. I'm pretty sure that's what you see Mr Miyagi practicing for in those wide beach sunset shots.

[little robin]

better to start a new save for this expedition or to do it on your normal save?

[median ember]

💀

[atomic cave]

I saw a base with an ectension into the water, so it was possible to fish from under a roof, avoiding most of the storm damage, but still get the fishes. It seems to be an option.

[gaunt fern]

I built a base on the boggy planet with a moon door you can fish out of in comfort. I've found other peeps bases with just openings that work the same way

[indigo falcon]

really up to you. if you want units and nanites to go towards your main save, start from that. if you want a fresh start, do that.

[woven shadow]

Okay I have to do Scales of Fire and the one where you sell a lot of fish

Then I will be done

Is completing Scales of Fire just an RNG thing?

100% completion! Now I need to make sure I scan as much life on the R5 planet as I can

[near gust]

on the final Abyssal Wounder task anyone know where i can get this done?

[cold tulip]

Rdv 5 planet

Rdv 2 as well iirc

[near gust]

Chhers

[muted wave]

I am playing through the expedition, and have gotten to the point where my hyperdrive is installed and it askes me to go to the first rendezvous point, but i can not figure out how to get there. While trying to find it in the galactic map, i accidently warped to another system. I have replenished my hyperdrive, but am not sure how to continue.

[solid slate]

how do I put tech into storage to be transferd to my origonal save?

[cold tulip]

Make sure the mission is selected on the log, should not be far. You can see the path on the galaxy map

[cold tulip]

In the anomaly. Behind the nexus

[muted wave]

Is it a long green line?

[cold tulip]

Should only be a few systems away

[muted wave]

okay, thanks

[proven niche]

Do my game mode settings go into the expedition

Like relaxed fishing

Also how long does it take on average to complete it

[hollow osprey]

I just started playing a couple weeks ago and I was able to finish it between Saturday and Sunday

[proven niche]

So 1-2 days?

[hollow osprey]

Yeah maybe six hours total for me

[proven niche]

Since it has 5 phases

And I have never done it before any expedition

[hollow osprey]

I followed the guide in the pins and it was pretty easy

Very fun, I’ve never liked fishing in games before but it’s pretty good here

[proven niche]

?

[dusk stirrup]

i dont believe so. should use normal difficulty settings. I noticed my stacks were going to normal gameplay amounts rather than survival on my survival playthrough

[proven niche]

Okay

[bleak ether]

How do you cook the fish

Nvm found it

[vocal spindle]

anyone know of a planet with really frequent storms? im having no luck with my storm planets

[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. 📌

[vocal spindle]

thx

[marsh willow]

If I did a new game for the expedition, can I merge it with my normal game save?

[cold tulip]

Nope, it will become a normal save after ur done

[marsh willow]

Ahh, that's what I thought it would be. Thanks!👍

[night robin]

This is the first expedition I've started from an existing save, and while preparing for it to end I've run into some questions I can't find answers to.

1. Is it more profitable to sell all my stuff before ending the expedition, or let the game handle it automatically?

2. When it ends, do I just forget the words I've learned and lose the faction I've raised with races and guilds? (Retaining only what I had before starting the expedition.)

3. My understanding is that the base builds we create while in the expedition will be transferred when we switch back (and that anything we've built on a freighter will not.) What happens if adding those builds to our existing ones exceeds the total part cap? Will some bases be converted to currency? If so, which ones?

Thanks!

[vocal spindle]

BROTHAS! i need one more milestone. is there a good location for the abyssal wonder step?

[brave terrace]

How do I bring stuff from my main save into the expedition?

[vocal spindle]

certain things are gotten from the quicksilver vendor in the anomly

otherwise, i'd assume you'd have to have a partner to hold stuff for you while switch files

if you want the things that are not quicksilver items

[gaunt fern]

I thought you use nanites?

Storms:
Stewed Organs: 9% rarity, size 6%, storm

That's two of offal sacs, livers, innards, etc.

[pastel jacinth]

does evry planet on the expedition route has water ?

bcz i need to catch radioactive fish, how id o that, i never c a radioactive planet that ahs water

[wooden onyx]

the 4th expe planet is radio

Anyone looking to start an expedition in the next 12 hours? I'm looking for a mule to transfer some items from one expedition save to another.

In return, I would be very happy to immediately send over some essential materials like Carbon, Copper, Chromatic Metal, Oxygen, Antimatter as we meet up on the starting planet to kickstart your fishing expedition!

[wooden onyx]

golden questions

[crystal mortar]

Does the space station for the second Rendezvous point look like this for everyone? I'm on Switch and it seems different than when I did Expedition on PS5.

[low jackal]

not sure what is wrong there

just look like a station entrance with grey color

[brisk plover]

And now... the worst part of the expedition. Standing around twiddling my thumbs WAITING for a storm to happen... on a planet with activated metal, so it should have more storms. And yet I've been here for a good five minutes, and nothing. 😐

[wooden onyx]

our attention spans are decreasing day-by-day

[brisk plover]

Or... I don't find standing around waiting to be fun.

And even with storm lures, when a storm finally came I only caught two storm fish. 😐

[dusk stirrup]

you could explore the planet while you wait for a storm

go for a swim

[indigo falcon]

1. if you can sell your stuff for an increased profit (+%) then do that, otherwise the auto conversion is fine.
2. words learned and standing do not carry over.
3. planetary bases do become available on the existing save. I have to assume that as you build them, the part count is calculated against all bases/base parts placed also on the main save, so that any issues like that can be avoided. but this is an assumption only, untested.

[indigo falcon]

you could fish while you wait, and release those fish for nanites

(don't forget to remove the storm bait if you do that)

[teal socket]

in my 2nd account, I did some of the milestones together. finished a few while on the icy planet like storms, icy fish and waiting for the automated traps. think they were 1-2 others I did at the same planet. and at the very least, used the bionic lure just to get money and goal for selling and getting 100 fish milestones. always had magpulse lures ready for when a storm hits

[zenith pulsar]

I had this during the expedition. its actually predicting your next catch? - thats what it looked like to me anyway...

[frozen laurel]

What's the process for someone to be a mule? I thought expedition saves could only join other expedition saves.

[indigo falcon]

give to someone who ran the expd on a new save. when they exit the expd, they now have a normal save. have them deliver to your normal save from theirs.

[frozen laurel]

Ah thanks.

[pastel jacinth]

thx

[median ember]

is your mp on?

[hazy sparrow]

For those looking for storms, on 3rd Angling ice world I have a base, Ietap Prime Aquarius 3 Base (Deep,Storms), that can be used for deepwater fishing and catching fish in a storm. I even reeled one in right before being sucked up into a tornado! Wish we got more warning about tornados, I was told extreme wind event right before I WAS the extreme wind event.
I also was able to scan a deepwater gooberfish for Abyssal Wonder. Take my nautilon and travel between mine and the nearby base and you should spot one.

[shell kettle]

Are there any bugs I should know about before starting the fih expedition?

Like milestones becoming softlocked?

[low jackal]

not that I know of

just alot of waiting

[lusty slate]

Just RNG, really

[hazy sparrow]

I always wait at least a week to start an expedition, there is usually a patch out for any issues released within a week. Same for this one.
This one is very casual, no combat, just being at the mercy of the RNG.

[shell kettle]

ugh

[hazy sparrow]

There's a pinned guide that will walk you through pretty quickly. The only point I varied from was storm fishing location.

[shell kettle]

ughhhhh

[teal socket]

you can craft a bunch of lures beforehand to make it much easier on yourself and send it to your expedition if you haven't started yet

[hazy sparrow]

I just realized I don't have any lure recipes on my main save. Where do you learn them? I did not see them from any of the usual anomaly vendors.

[meager scroll]

You get them automatically once you research fishing rod from MT vendor in Space Anomaly

[hazy sparrow]

Ah, I moved my rod over from the expedition, so never learned it. Thanks!

[shell kettle]

Do save beacons carry over when you return to your main save? Like bases?

[hazy sparrow]

No, but if you made a backup of your save before ending the expedition and can find it, you can edit your current save file to move them over. I did that for Omega.

[shell kettle]

It's easier just to use base computers, thanks.

[hazy sparrow]

I had to edit my save file anyway, as my Discoveries list got trashed, lost all my old systems. I no longer move between my main save and the expedition, which seems to avoid the problem.

[shell kettle]

I do that a lot. Does it happen regularly or did you just get unlucky once?

[hazy sparrow]

Just the once. I moved between main and expedition a lot, I think that is what did it, so I don't do that during expeditions any more.

I've done a couple of Discovery list flora and fauna purges afterwards if it's an expedition that requires a lot of scanning. I really need to teach myself Python to write a script that will edit the JSON for me. I might be able to do it in Swift.

[ashen shore]

is it easy to solo the expedition?

it will be my first time doing an expedition

[hazy sparrow]

Oh yes. Everything in the game is designed to be soloable. Nothing is forced on you, including multiplayer. I've done the whole thing solo.

Griefers are scum, destined for the 7th level of hell along with cheaters and other rude and inconsiderate people, like non-impaired people who park in handicapped spaces.

Anyone else get hit and pushed around by fish swimming THROUGH your underwater base? I've even had fish get trapped IN my base. Interestingly, I can scare them off with my mining laser, but that seems to be only temporary.

[lethal kettle]

Hey, so how does finding my friend in an expedition work? Do I directly have to join his party or can I just brute force find him on the starting planet and fly over to him?

And as a side question, can I join his expedition party from my normal save? Or do we both have to be on expedition saves in order to be in the same party?

[indigo falcon]

I always run expeditions in single player. and this one is meant to be pretty laid back.

[indigo falcon]

I've had fish die the death by running into me when I'm on my skiff right next to the shore. no joke. multiple times in an hour even. I took damage from them too

and I had a fish trapped in the doorway of my above water base, I should have the pic around here someplace

[pastel jacinth]

hello, how i place down the automatic fishing machine? i am underwater, i have all the materials, but i cant place it? its always showing red and telling me :'' i have to be udnerwater'' but i am under wattter 😄

[cold tulip]

On the surface of the water

[pastel jacinth]

ah, thank you

[gentle coral]

I should be doing the expedition for the rewards instead Ive spent last days fishing on my main 😆

[pastel jacinth]

[indigo falcon]

found the fish pic. it is fully above water. I was just barely able to squeeze past it to get out of the little cooking pavilion there

nearly a month, sooooooo much time for fishing

[vague spire]

Not really sure on how partying works at all, let alone an expedition. I have a friend from work, who hasn’t played since release, was thinking maybe that would be a good start for them, can I join him on his fishing expedition?

[tame shale]

Is it just me, or are there no predator fish anywhere?

[cold tulip]

They are not that common. But there surely are out there. Any reason you need one?

[pastel jacinth]

does the automatic fishing machine works when im offline?

[stuck gazelle]

What’s the reward for completing the expedition is it worth?

[wooden onyx]

you thought correct. I'm currently still in expedition mode on my main primary save. I hope to start a completely new game via expedition mode soon but I don't want to grind materials, hence I'm looking for a mule to carry over stuff like carbon, oxygen, chromatic metal etc. from my current save to my new save

[sonic lotus]

This was my first expedition, and I loved it! Came back to the game after a 2 year break and can't stop playing. ❤️

[karmic matrix]

Hmm

[severe mantle]

the big fish on rdv 5 is a youtube advertisement

incredible..

[broken tusk]

[broken tusk]

thanks

now, catching uncommon fish, on a frozen planet... not counting for mission???

ohhh ice biome specific

[thorny junco]

Is the expedition hard or doable right now? I'm a newer player never having done one. The cosmetic stuff look cool but I have no idea what to expect? What should I bring? Can I bring anything? Does my ship and tool carry over?

[indigo falcon]

it's a very laid back expedition compared to the average run. the game should give you plenty of guidance on how to do things. nothing carries over; if you want, you can start from an existing save, and put over up to 8 tech and 24 resources from that save to the expedition version of the save, which can be claimed once you have access to the anomaly during the expedtion

your active ship and multitool could be copied over for around 3k nanites each if they are S class. (that's 3k nanites from the expedition version of the save, meaning you have to have earned that many nanites)

you don't really need either of those for this expedition though.

[high thunder]

Chat I finished the expedition

[wanton frigate]

On the offchance you're literally asking what a rendezvous point is, Expeditions tend to be 5 sets (phases) of 6-8 tasks (milestones) that you can complete in any order, but each Phase usually has a rendezvous point - a specific place on a specific planet in a specific system - that you have to go to. You can see them on the galaxy map as long as you have Expedition Route selected, and once you're in the system you can see an approximate marker on the target planet. When you land, you use the Scanner to point you towards the exact location. Sometimes the scanner leads you on a deliberately long and winding route though, so sometimes it's easier to circle the marker in the air and look for a point of interest to land at, it's usually that.

[shy dagger]

heyo

so the guide on reddit says that you can get the uncommon fishes from hot planets in the first fishing spot

yet i get the uncommon fishes and they dont count

[silent knot]

see #nms-expedition message , they must be uncommon fish exclusive to that biome, uncommon fish not exclusive won't count

[frozen laurel]

I ran the exp on a new save. Will the lost fishing rod be available from the anomaly?

[silent knot]

should be, yeah

[frozen laurel]

Thanks.

I like the look of it better.

[shy dagger]

yeah ok but the biome says "lush" not hot or whatever

even tho the guide says i can get those 7 fishes from the starter planet

[silent knot]

which milestone is it? the scorched one?

[shy dagger]

ye

[silent knot]

they must be uncommon or higher rarity fish,exclusive to scorched worlds.a lush planet won't have them

[lusty slate]

You can only catch scorched fish from a scorched/hot world

[shy dagger]

i dont get why the guide on reddit says you can get them from the 1st spot planet

[silent knot]

there is a scorched rendezvous planet, but if it says you can get them from a planet that isn't scorched,it's incorrect.

[lime plume]

Your first mistake was trusting a reddit guide.

all shallow fish are available in deep water.

I had hard time to get shallow fish in deep waters. So i made one.

now take a break from fishing and just relax by fishing. lol

[indigo falcon]

information about suitable planets for various milestones is in the pin in here "where to go..." so have a look.

[vocal spire]

Thanks!

[indigo falcon]

I brought nothing and it was just fine. this is a laid back expedition with most tasks relying on fishing, you'll be given a fishing rig. I men if you want you can send over some warp cells or hypercores, some materials for quick nanites (but you can get nanites by releasing caught fish), and materals for units, it's not really that necessary though imo

[indigo falcon]

counterpoint: this old timer enjoyed being able to take a chillax fishing vacation in nms 😄

[solemn bane]

What I really crave is depth, in pretty much any way that word can be interpreted. NMS is so incredibly wide, but so shallow in every aspect I can think of. Really wish they would focus on... anything.

[indigo falcon]

I don't think that part of the game is liable to change, we have to create our own depth and stories

[solemn bane]

Yeah it'd be neat if there were mods that added some depth. The way expeditions are set up you could actually make your own using milestones from previous expeditions and pretty much any "reward" in the game. That and some modding could yield an interesting expedition, as opposed to the "do the same thing five times and also some gofer quests" expeditions they usually do.

[thorny junco]

So help me put here. I'm on the catch 3 day fish. The 5 orbs gave me none. Am I expected to go grind nantes to unlock solar mirrors to make more ? Or can I just fish with mealworm. Idk why I'm not getting it. I'm fishing in broad daylight. Mealworm and no mealworms

[little torrent]

I didn't bother using bait

Just fish during the day and hope rng blesses you

[thorny junco]

This stuff is cheeks

[indigo falcon]

you have a number of other fishing milestones to do, the day and night fish you'll likely just catch organically while doing the rest

[eternal berry]

Stuff like chromatic metal or oxygen is always useful, but usually I'm too lazy to collect it in the space station so I just don't use it

[wicked meadow]

On PC-Steam is anyone elses game keep freezing. Every few minutes the game freezes, I've done all the normal trouble shooting including reinstall and it is still doing it.
Trying to complete the Expedition but seems impossible at the moment

[thorny junco]

Is it when going planet side

Do I need special bait for irradiated fish? I'm in awki sigma (using mealworms) and all the fish I caught so far are not irradiated

[indigo falcon]

no, the biome-specific fish have no special bait, it's just game rng

now you can use rarity-increasing bait for them to get them to be more likely to be uncommon or better, but that'a about it

[iron tendon]

Ok, thanks!

[placid dew]

This expedition is by far the most time-consuming expedition ever.
All that fishing and waiting for lure traps....

[low jackal]

ye but its like chill time

[teal socket]

wasn't that long. while waiting for the traps, fished other stuff at the same time. can't remember which milestones but did 2 other milestones while collecting the traps every few minutes

[cobalt spoke]

Hey I wondered this too, I actually unlocked them to start making orbs.
Well one of the rewards not only gives you a handful of orbs (i think) and another unlocks the recipes for you

[indigo falcon]

also solar mirrors, you can buy them at the right space station

Zaresvet has them (R4 system)

welp only took me 5 tries to type the name right...

[swift dune]

isnt it every hour?

also what was everyones time to get angler

[indigo falcon]

10 minuntes for me for the angler, my bad rng was the storm fish

traps used to start filling after just 5 minutes. now it might be an hour. and the fill rate overnight seems bugged

[swift dune]

oh alr

also i cant seem to find angler in fishing log, is it only for exped.

[indigo falcon]

only the expedition, that's right

a special item!

[teal socket]

when I did my 2nd playthrough, it filed up partially every few minutes and would reset the hour timer. always figured the whole hour was just filling all the slots

so I just collected 1-4 fish from the traps every few minutes while fishing other stuff

[indigo falcon]

one of the hotfixes between the update and now, changed the refill rate, I think it's broken actually

1-2 per slot per day is not what should be happening

[swift dune]

h

[teal socket]

yeah, 1st playthrough, I actually left off plant and came back 20-30 minutes early and checked the traps and realized it caught fish every few minutes.

so yeah, that's definitely bugged

[covert hare]

The traps was one of the easiest objectives for me. I never built or placed a single one. I made my way around a few bases just checking out people's big docks while looking for a pleasant place to fish in different biomes and checked the traps as I went. I guess that makes me a fish thief, but I'm not too upset about it.

as long as other people in your lobby didn't go to the same traps, all good!

is there also a trick or tip, how to travel to the fishing points? its the only task im missing, besides the bottle msg stuff

[cold tulip]

Should only be 1-2 warps. Did you go into a black hole?

Or go to some base in the anomaly? Most likely something got you far from the main exp route

alright, i c.. so u say, its not far away form the fihsing point one? , ill go back there and travel again.. but, i thought i did that, correctly

Anyone got any tips for catching the angler and catching the fish in the storms

Never mind about the angler 😅😅😅

an aquatic themed ship would’ve been sick

[iron tendon]

In the sell 500k units of fish mission, do we have to actually fresh fish or can we cook it first and then sell?

I just realised this mission exists and I've been releasing everything I've caught to not clog up inventory 😅

[faint mesa]

Fresh. Cooked fish won't count

[iron tendon]

Ok, thanks... looks like I need to make room

[flat sluice]

is there any way to restart the expedition? i hit start without realizing i wanted to bring things in.

[fickle fable]

make a ton of storm lures, go to deep water (50m minimum) and wait for one to start

I wouldn't do it in one with heated storms because i only got heat fish

[stable pasture]

i caught all 3 of mine in 30 minutes with salty fingers. Found someones storm hut and fished from the top of it. the longest part was waiting for the second storm to catch the last fish.

though ive heard it doesnt matter, i was in deep water.

[swift crane]

Is doing expeditions worth it and what they are about?

[open gorge]

They tend to have a fair bit of lore but most importantly you get rewards for them including different currencies, armours and spaceship modifications i do recommend as they provide a bit less repetitive gameplay and other people are always there

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.

if you started it from an existing save, you can't redo it from there. if you started it from a new save, you can always do another run. but honestly you don't need anything from existing saves for this expedition, it's so laid back

[iron tendon]

Whoever built the aurora deep sea platform at letap prime is a legend! Helped me quickly finish 3 objectives

[iron tendon]

If I'm in rendezvous 3, is it possible to warp to bases in rendezvous 4? (Using station terminus)

Okay, I've finally completed expedition 15!

[cunning sandal]

I don't know how I'm supposed to get 3 big fish. And I've been at it for 2 hours and I've been using the right bate lol

I'm in very deep water. I'm using bate that helps lol I'm doing everything I was told to do. 2 hours later still no big fish

Okay I got a large fish and it didn't count 🤣😂

This is ridiculous

Phase 4 completed after 2 hours 😎👊

[wraith junco]

Nice..im at last task. Waiting for traps to fill 😴

[cunning sandal]

Yeah I'm on phase 5 so I'm almost there it's took me like 2or 3 days to get to phase 5

Time to go sell some fish lol

[wraith junco]

Phase 5 is always fast

[cunning sandal]

Yeah I remember on the first expedition years ago I struggled through the three and four but then I got to the phase five and blew through it

Lol

[wraith junco]

Its always good to read tasks descriptions and what rewards they give. It helps to plan ahead.

[cunning sandal]

Yeah or you think to yourself is it really worth it are they giving out anything good. Unless it's like really cool cosmetics or ship or something like that I've skipped a few of the expeditions. I still think the best thing they ever gave out. Was in the first expedition I love my golden glider. It's my favorite ship

I've used it since the first expedition

I think my second favorite would be when we got the mass effect ship.

& some of the cool cosmetics over the years

The fish looks so funny when you throw them back into the water 😂

[earnest gale]

hey i was wondering if anyone had tips im stuck on phase 1 i havent been able to "haul in an object"

[wraith junco]

Fish without bait

[atomic estuary]

fish without any bait or lure, youll eventually get a boot or something, you can also just skip that milestone and continue with the expedition

Youll eventually get something along the way

[earnest gale]

amazing thank you for the help both of thank you so much

[wraith junco]

Wait how do i do the finishing expedition again. I want to send few items to my main save

[earnest gale]

wdym restart it or replay it?

[wraith junco]

No. I want to send items from exp to main save

[earnest gale]

ooo i didnt know you could tbf. if u want to collect the items go to the quick silver donny

[atomic estuary]

put them in the terminus and pick up from primary, you dont even have to finish the expedition

just click on the slot

[wraith junco]

Exp terminal slots are grayed out

Clicking does nothing

[atomic estuary]

it worked for me, unclaimed reward perhaps?

[wraith junco]

I have phase 5 unclaimed

[wanton frigate]

you can only send items back through the terminal once you have finished the expedition, otherwise they're locked, so claim the rewards, get the pop-up telling you you're finished and bobs your uncle.

[atomic estuary]

yeah, claim them all and it should unlock the terminal

[wraith junco]

Thx

[frozen laurel]

Is the community research complete?

[wraith junco]

For posters , yes

Now we do fireworks

[atomic estuary]

Just cause I already recorded, You can send Everything to your primary save

Everything* meaning items that can be put inside of the terminus, just to clarify

[wraith junco]

Just wanted the unique exp items. But thx

Good to know there is workaround of menu limit

[atomic estuary]

Everything meaning items that can be put inside of the terminus, just to clarify

[iron tendon]

What? So you mean you can just send more items than the slots available in the terminal by simply clicking "switch to primary"?

[lethal nymph]

Yo, how long does it take to get to the space anomaly during Aquarius?

[wraith junco]

1 warp

[lethal nymph]

Damn guess I’m doing something wrong then

[silent knot]

after the first warp, you should be able to summon it from the quick menu, as usual
this applies to most expeditions, too

[lethal nymph]

Hm. Alrighty. Thanks!

[ashen shore]

can non-expeditions interact with expedition saves

[silent knot]

no, expedition mode is in its own bubble multiplayer wise

[ashen shore]

gotcha

[royal tundra]

Are the Fireworks one use only? Never used one in game

[gloomy trail]

So when do i unlock the ability to summon the anomaly in the expedition

[wanton frigate]

after your first jump, I think

[gloomy trail]

Hasent happened yet

[indigo falcon]

yes, buy and set off to celebrate something

[royal tundra]

Ok

[indigo falcon]

after your first warp, go to the space station and get out of ship, then get back in and leave, check quick menu, should be there

[gloomy trail]

I will say the first angler spot is in a beautiful planet in my opinion

[wraith junco]

Yep . They fire soon after u place them

[muted wave]

Could someone post a picture of the celeste from the expedition?

[indigo falcon]

your version of it will be different, only the name is the same (and that it is a c hauler)

[wraith junco]

Yeah it only has unique name. Stats are not good. I switched to interceptor when i got the chance

[indigo falcon]

because you really only use it to get to the rendezvous systems and not much else, I just slapped hyperdrive upgrades in there as soon as possible, and after completing all the milestones I went off to find an interceptor since I was going to hang out in that save for awhile

[fervent patrol]

Wondering if someone can help. I’m sure this question has been asked a tonne. Please if so forgive me and tell me where to look.

I just came back after a two year break and completed the expedition. I did it on a new save. Is there any way that I can get all the tech I picked up in my expedition save back into my main save? The expedition has resparked my love for NMS and I’d like to keep all the upgrades/nanites etc that I have accrued if possible

[wraith junco]

No u cant send modules from save to save. U could if u did expedition on main save from expedition terminal on anomaly.

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.

once the expd save converts to a normal save, you can find a friend in regular game mode, pass them the modules and resources you want, and have them pass these items to the other save.

the only way to "convert" nanites and units this way would be to buy items that can be resold for nanites/units (so tech modules, or expensive resources)

[fervent patrol]

Thankyou guys. I’m happy for them to just remain on that save if that’s the case. It just would have been nice to have them in my main. Thanks for the help folks

[indigo falcon]

you can play form the main save and do the expedition again and get all the units/nanites

[swift crane]

Almost finished part 3, now only the worst ones (any tips how I can catch legendary fish easily without using special bait? and where I can find thunder (for fish that appear only in thunder)?)

[indigo falcon]

for storm fish see the 'where to do...' pin in here and read the section about that milestone

for legendary fish, I got a few just trying to get the other milestones, no bait whatsoever

so if you get done with the storm fish, only then look into bait, there's a pin on those too

[gloomy trail]

Ive been flying around this ocean in a radiated planet and alll of it is SHALLOW

[indigo falcon]

hm planet 5 has some > 50u deep spots

that's all you need for the water to be considered deep

[little torrent]

You can just dig straight down while in water & it'll count.

[gloomy trail]

Oh good

[gentle coral]

Where does one get heart of sun? Says to learn in anomaly but there's nothing there, I remember I already did this some time ago but now cant do it again

[indigo falcon]

you don't need that for expedition, it's an atlas thing

if you want the dangling orb (bait), you get the recipe for that from a milestone

[atomic estuary]

you cant clone ships to the expedition after you finish the expedition 🤔

I hoped to clone a ship for parts but it only works one way for me

[indigo falcon]

if you haven't exited permanently to the main save, you can copy repeatedly the active expd ship to the main save and salvage repeatedly

[atomic estuary]

yeah, but I cant clone it to the expedition from the primary, button isnt there 🤔

Primary and expedition

[indigo falcon]

nope, gotta copy the other direction only

[gloomy trail]

Can you only catch noctural and day fish on normal water conditions?

[atomic estuary]

oh well, its is what it is

[indigo falcon]

I would guess that you can catch them during storms too depending on whether the storm is daytime or nighttime

[gloomy trail]

Im like 1 day fish away from the milestone and im on phase 4

[sharp bolt]

How do you get solar mirror plans without the base construction computer thing?

[indigo falcon]

don't bother, just buy them

Zaresvet XVI has them at the space station terminal (r4 system)

[sharp bolt]

Thank you

[indigo falcon]

otherwise you could go to the anomaly to the synthesis terminal (opposite where you buy base parts) and buy the blueprints for nanites, but why bother

[hollow shore]

What do you mean with 'normal water conditions'?

[gloomy trail]

No radiation, frost, or heat planet

[hollow shore]

Oops, sorry, looks like I mistakenly replied to an old message. Discord did not scroll down further and now it did

[hollow shore]

Those types of planets just change the fish you can catch. There are different groups of fish for different biomes

Each of those groups still has day, night, and storm fish

[cinder lintel]

Question, am I able to claim previous Expeditions' rewards during an Expedition, even if they've been claimed on the main save?

Trying to figure out if I should be paying nanites to make a copy of a ship that came from an expedition in the first place lol

[wraith junco]

U can claim unlocked past exp rewards in qs shop once per save

[cinder lintel]

Are Expeditions within a Main Save considered a separate save for these purposes, though?

I did just do something interesting. Claimed the ship within the Expedition, returned to the Main Save, and it's not claimed on the Main Save

[pastel jacinth]

hello, how i cook baits for fishing? i also have some recipes, where i find them?

[cinder lintel]

some bait recipes are unlocked by completing certain milestones

[pastel jacinth]

yes, i know

how i use, / find / cook them

[cinder lintel]

should be in your Craft Item list

[pastel jacinth]

hmh, cant find them there

[pastel jacinth]

ah

okay : D

thank you

ah i thought u have to cook it, at the idk machine thingie

@cinder lintel which bait u prefer?

[cinder lintel]

I've barely used any, I'm not the right person to ask XD

[pastel jacinth]

ah xDD ok : D

i jsut need one more fish at storm, and im done with expedition 😄

[hollow shore]

They are saved within as a separate context, allowing you to switch between them.

[pastel jacinth]

@hollow shore which is a good bait for fishing? any chance u know that?

[hollow shore]

Basically it adds a separate part specific to the expedition, within your main save. It uses that for the expedition. Once finished, it combines it back to the main context again. When you only switch, it switches between both parts

[hollow shore]

There are loads of baits possible if you include food items.

[pastel jacinth]

does ewvry bait has the same effect?

[hollow shore]

We have not fully figured it all out yet, although we do know all the values. I made a sheet in #nms-spoilers here, if you wish to take a look: #nms-spoilers message
The lures are pretty good actually, and you'll find them in the above sheet as well. Sorted by value for specific use

[hollow shore]

To answer that in short, no, they do not all have the same effect, most have different values for what they are good for. The type of fish (day, night, storm), the size, and rarity

Cooking is done in the Nutrient Processor. It works similar to a refiner. You combine food items to a different food item.

All food can be used for bait.

[atomic socket]

When does the current expedition end?

Nvm

[drifting warren]

How can I get S class fish without bait?

[ruby hollow]

Use mag pulse baits for storm fish

[ruby hollow]

Luck

There’s no specific strategy

[gaunt fern]

use bait.

[unique glen]

I’m getting ready to unload my goodies back to my main save. Is there anything in particular I should definitely take with me that’s exclusive or rare from the expedition I should load up?
