thank you

thaanks

[indigo falcon]

some good baits are in a pin in this channel (some cooked and some crafted), have a look.

the angler. can't catch that outside of the expd. also, screenshot the angler message bottle contents before ending, if you want to see them (once back on main save with them, they lose partial content)

[pastel jacinth]

oki

[iron tendon]

Anyone find the value of the fishes in your inventory are different from the values being bought at the terminals? Eg. Greenscale bloater (3000units in inventory, but 4441 units in terminal with -1.3% demand)...doesn't make sense

[faint mesa]

Not sure if it's a bug -- the inventory sometimes doesn't show the real value of things (and that's without taking into account economy fluctuations). I have seen it happen with some specific items...

Or rather specific types of items.

[iron tendon]

Normally would a 3000unit item with -1.3% demand be bought at 3000×(1-0.013) units?

[faint mesa]

The "mistake" happens before that -- the inventory shows imprecise values sometimes.
It's rare, but I've seen it happen...

Again, not sure if it's actually a bug, as sometimes the inventory information seems more like an estimative for some items

[swift crane]

You don't need to use bait, it's just luck (bait only help with the odds of catching it (use other fish that you catch as a bait, they give you small boost))

[little torrent]

Yeah, bait merely boosts odds.

You can fish without bait

[iron tendon]

I don't mind. It gives more than the estimated value 😅

Another question, do the timing of storms have anything to do with "critical exposure" when I do the analytic visor? If they do, every time I enter a shelter, that would mean the storm time resets also, right?

[faint mesa]

There's no relation as far as I know

Storms have their own time

[iron tendon]

Ah oh thanks... so I should just keep waiting and feel free to do into a shelter every now and then

[faint mesa]

Yep! Shouldn't be an issue

[iron tendon]

Thanks

[indigo falcon]

you can stand in a shelter and cast out into the water during a storm and that still works btw

[mystic belfry]

How can I get glyf in expedition

[iron tendon]

Thanks

[hollow shore]

For the expedition you do not need to get the glyphs. I suggest to finish the expedition (or switch back to your main save) and then follow the story missions to get all the glyphs from a mission called The Purge.

[mystic belfry]

how can i use the portals in expedition

[hollow shore]

I suggest you don't, as that is not required for the expedition

[mystic belfry]

can ask something in DM

[hollow shore]

You can ask here

[indigo falcon]

I mean if you are really set on getting them, you can warp to space stations, talk to travellers twice and visit their graves. but there is no reason to do this in the expedition save. whatever item you might wantto collect, you can do it on the main save or after ending the expedition...

[mystic belfry]

correct but i need a sentinal ship

[indigo falcon]

you should be able to shove an economy scanner into your current ship, then just look for systems with 'dissonant' intead of 'water' in the description, in the galaxy map

that's way faster then getting 16 glyphs and etc

you don't need an interceptor during the expd anyways, just buy whatever crappy hyperdrive modules you can find an the first two space stations and shove those into the hauler, good enough.

[low jackal]

do not need any scanner

just search in galaxy map

[cunning sandal]

That's when I've been doing too lol

Crap. Was I not supposed to let it go?! lol the menu hinted me that I should let it go and I got Nanites for it. Is that all it does?

I assumed that was some kind of quest I had to do that to finish. Oh well. Good-bye Angler. 🥺

[placid dew]

In case you forgot to screenshot the messages, here's the short synopsis: ||A person wanted to fish, went fishing, got a nice fish, and after some time of fishing... somehow becomes a fish that you caught. RIP Angler.||

[unique glen]

I did screenshot the message, though. Just “lost” (set free) the Angler fish. Does it really matter? Not having the fish?

[low jackal]

nah

I sold it

for like 2000 units

wtf its supposed to be legendary

[unique glen]

I discover if you toss legendary fish into water you get nanites.

[low jackal]

should've catch and release

I sold em' all to the butcher

😔

[wintry herald]

broke ahh fish

wait so is this the new best legitimate way to farm nanites?

[ionic glen]

was the time to do the expedition extended ? I thought it was ending in oct 12, but not it seems to be ending in oct 21

[hollow shore]

@ionic glen Not that I am aware of, no change to the end date/time

[indigo falcon]

it's a souvenir, you can release for nanites, keep forever, cook, give away ,whatever you like...

I dunno if it's the best way to farm nanites. I mean if you want you can just pick a fight with sentinels and keep them at wave 2 forever and farm salvaged glass. is that faster? maybe. but fishing is more chill. it depends really on what you're in the mood for (cc @wintry herald )

Getting fish that appear only during storm is anoying...

[indigo falcon]

you might try the planet listed in the pins (the one that starts "where to go...") and also set up a small shelter next to the water so you can stand in there and fish

[thorny junco]

How many expeditions do they do a year?

[indigo falcon]

you can and might as well fsih while you wait for storms too, since you can release them for nanites

[indigo falcon]

3-4 is typical

[swift crane]

If I started expedition on a new save can I transfer items to my main save after finishing expedition?

[indigo falcon]

only via a third party, after your expedition save converts to a normal save

[jaunty geyser]

Guys, when goes the expedition end?

[swift crane]

So there's no way to transfer the angler for example?

[indigo falcon]

not from a new save directly, no

[hollow shore]

#nms-expedition message

[swift crane]

I hate storm fish... (first 2 in a few minutes, now I'm fishing for 1h for the last one)

[icy garnet]

Managed to catch 2 golden jellyfish and now I am at the 4 phase of the expedition

[swift crane]

My suffering has ended, but it's a bit disappointing that I can't transfer items to my main save...

[lusty slate]

That's a perk that's exclusive to using the expedition terminal

[swift crane]

Wdym?

[hollow shore]

Transfer is only an option when the expedition was started from an existing save, using the terminal for it on the Anomaly

[swift crane]

Theoritically I can start this expedition again on my main save, but is it worth it?

[hollow shore]

Up to you if you feel it might be worth it. Also, apart from rewards and items, fish discovered through the expedition will only appear greyed in the discovery/catalogue.

[swift crane]

Do you get something that you can't unlock in normal save during this expedition (except Angler)?

[lusty slate]

Actually ||the haunted filet recipe, from putting the Angler in the nutrient processor|| is in the recipe list in the main game. But I'm not entirely certain if that's just a mistake. As the ||Angler|| itself isn't in the Wonders fishing log.

[clear hornet]

Which rendezvous point has a planet for "in hot water" milestone ?

[hollow shore]

I think it was the scorched planet in RV2

[hollow shore]

The recipe is indeed there, the fish has an expedition specific ID though, so it certainly is a bit odd. I have not tested it, which should not be too hard. In fact, let me try that now

[hollow shore]

I think the only thing you may not be able to get, is the reskin of the fishing rod you receive at some point

[lusty slate]

That's a phase reward, though.

[hollow shore]

Oh yes, of course ...

[swift crane]

No, you can get reskin like all other rewards

[hollow shore]

Yup, my bad

[clear hornet]

Gonna check it out, thanks. 🙂

[hollow shore]

So Haunted Fillet, right?

[lusty slate]

Yup

[hollow shore]

Both actually look to be expedition ID, but will see

[clear hornet]

Got my first legendary fish o.o

[hollow shore]

@lusty slate The recipe works as expected. I think the catch of The Angler is only made possible in the expedition, and due to not being a scanned creature, it will not be listed as a wonder. It is likely not listed as a record as it is specifically set as part of the S15 group, not appearing with any of the fish groups per biome or 'all' (see FishDataTable). So for that matter unique, but whether it be wort keeping it, not sure. I doubt it. Not all that great for bait either (see image), with the Haunted Fillet only being slightly better (see image)

[lusty slate]

Very interesting! Thanks for looking at it.

[hollow shore]

Better fire up that BBQ

[indigo falcon]

(pssst all this info is in the pin "where to go..." )

[hollow shore]

@lusty slate Actually, this is how they enable The Angler, with setting the mission requirement

[hollow shore]

(pssst, I must have skipped over it, I tried :( )

[indigo falcon]

scorched world, frozen world, irradiated world, planet for the 100kg scan, planet for the angler, and planet for the storm fish are all in that pin, spread the word!

[keen bough]

Is there an expedition guide here on best items to have

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message>

[remote thunder]

any planet with solanium in resource list

[indigo falcon]

any one with solanium and, of course, water

[gloomy trail]

Ive wasted so much hyperdrive fuel

[indigo falcon]

hmmm you could: collect up a bunch ofhadal cores (gievn you're probably by the water in a bunch of places). donate them all to explorer guild reps at these space stations until you reach apprentice rank (doesn't take long, you need rank 8 = 4 hadal cores I think). collect free hypercore from each explorer guild envoy. set for life (as long as you remember to stop at a couple of those stations once a day)

I think one milestone even gives a bunch of hadal cores tbh

Abyssal Wonder - Record an underwater creature over 100kg <--- this one gives 5 hadal cores, that's your rank

[hollow shore]

Phase 5, fresh sell fish, 20 Hadal Cores

[indigo falcon]

well there yo go. in either case plenty

lots of time to fish fish and fish some more 🐠

[median ember]

I blasted through phases 3.. I thought it would take time...I finished it in 20 minutes

Switching to a b class explorer ship really helped...
Grinding bad in start ... Then simply earning rewards later...lol

[indigo falcon]

hm I just used the hauler the whole time, but bought hyperdrive upgrades, even crap B, C ones and that helped

[median ember]

I bought a B class ship and found an S class upgrade in one of damaged machinery...

Random...but i got lucky...I sold it...and got myself an A class hyperdrive upgrade...lol

Now I can reach almost all system in one jump...but why do that when teleport is there...l

[indigo falcon]

I mean once you visit a system and go to the space station, you're set (for purposes of the expedition anyways)

so yeah pretty soon I was one hop for the next rendezvous system all the way through

[gloomy trail]

Do you get anything for freeing the angler or can i keep it

[indigo falcon]

you get nanites as usual. keep it, cook it, sell it, give it away as you like

[gloomy trail]

Ill keep it

Aswell as the angler diaries

Going in my event vault

[indigo falcon]

screenshot the angler diaaries before you end the expedition, there's some part that gets lost after conversion

[gloomy trail]

Oh alr

Is it ok if i screenshot my inventory so yall can tell me what i should transfer to my primary save

[hollow shore]

No problem

[gloomy trail]

Alr

[hollow shore]

Slot upgrades, always good to have. Same as good packaged tech. Build items you can make easily, like the Summoner or the Nutrient Processor (inventory remains), not that important. Carbon, Oxygen, and other easy resources, not that important either, cheap products or easy to craft products, not too important. I think that already clears quite a bit. You can transfer the ship itself, assuming you have space to spare.

You have a few fish, but although legendary, likely only worth some Nanites at best, the discovery is already set and greyed out once finalised to main save. So yes, I'd start with the good S tech upgrade, ignore the X, include the various inventory upgrades, pick remaining items of worth, either in units/nanites, or for crafting

[gloomy trail]

Is there a way to transfer the items i have from an expedition to another primary save

Like can i have another primary save visit the same planet coordinates as another

In the universe of another primary save's expedition

[atomic estuary]

no, its only possible to transfer to the save you started from

[atomic estuary]

you can visit the same coords but you wont see your bases from another save, they wont render

[remote thunder]

after conversion, you'd have to ask another player in normal mode to hold items for you, while you reload into the save you actually want the items in

[iron tendon]

Hey, can I ask what bait you used for the big fish?

[gloomy trail]

Im gonna have to do that then

[remote thunder]

here's a pinned post <#nms-expedition message>

[iron tendon]

Thanks! Do you know if the enormous fish are only in deep water?

[iron tendon]

Peeled claws catch size improvement only showing as 25% for me. Oh well... still better than not cooking it

[cunning sandal]

it was a fun expedition. I would put it somewhere in the easy to medium skill level range. Even newbies to the game would have fun with this one. Especially if you like to fish 👍

[frozen laurel]

What does it take to map a system?

I caught a legendary fish with no bait. Pure luck, but inventory full. Still counted the objective lol

COMPLETED. My Final Thoughts on this one...
I have been a fisherman in RL for 48 years...
I really enjoyed this. I took a day today. I fished my brains out lol and just completed.
That was fun, and it has alot of new gear too. Love the new rod. Almost looks like my Shakespear Catfishin rod lol
I never thought I'd be fishing in NMS. I never asked for this in this game, but it's a nice break from standard sci-fi fare.
The fishing on a platform and in inclement weather is spot on. Very realistic. Everything makes sense from the baits to the fish. Somebody must be an angler on the team at Hello Games!
Thank you to the team from Sean on down, Sincerely, thank you.

[clear hornet]

Finally finished the last milestone...

I got this dreadnought just before completing the 100kg fish milestone 😄

[ashen shore]

Awesome! 🫡

[indigo falcon]

I don't fish in real life, never have. But I love fishing minigames in general. And I've been asking for fishing in nms kind of tongue-in-cheek for years, with zero expectations it would actually arrive. I'm busy building out fishing bases on all of my saves now 🐠

[iron tendon]

If anyone is still in need of deep waters (with a shelter). Also an underwater ruin here to use the trident key https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pnWgOA4Nw0

[ashen shore]

👍

[ashen shore]

That water was deep at 100u's lol I haven't seen deep water like that in awhile. I hope it's a new trend. I would like to build another deep water base again.

[iron tendon]

I initially wanted to build a floating base over the deep water but I realised it's impossible so I had to use terrain manipulator to extend my base from the shore

[wanton raft]

Hope you did it on a new save so you can keep it. Was it a good class?

[wanton raft]

I just build floor tiles across the water from the beach some times.

[wanton raft]

HG are my favorite game devs! Space games, fantasy games and chill discovery games are favorites and HG does them all well, especially when LnF comes around!

[iron tendon]

Like this?

I feel like I'm cheating as none of it touches the ground now. I initially put it on the ground and then claimed the parts back

[wanton raft]

That too. Horizontal or vertical, which ever works better in the situation, you can delete them once you're done with them of course and even undo the terrane mods tooif you like.

[iron tendon]

I wonder if it will upload successfully if it doesn't touch the ground though?

[atomic estuary]

It will, dont worry about it

as long as its within upload limit it will upload

I have bases 1000u above the terrain and they upload without any problem

[indigo falcon]

a zillion low orbital bases prove that fact. problem I have is I just don't like/trust underwater bases, even if I would build all the interesting portion above water... so it's always "build a very long deck from an island" for me

[iron tendon]

Is it possible to get all the uncommon hot fish from odeg? (torrid planet)? I keep getting the same ones. Stuck on 5/7 fishes

[hollow shore]

Each rarity has all the sizes, which is related to the depth you are fishing at. Then some of those will also have a specific requirement, like day, night, or storm. Adjust accordingly, to see if you can then get them all.

Here is an image with the uncommon (rare) 'hot' fish (the blue checkmark is the one that requires storm)

[indigo falcon]

you don't have to get 7 different types, you can catch the same uncommon hot fish 7 times and that will count. it's just a matter of rng; you can use a bait that helps rarity if you like (there's a pin in here with some decent baits)

cc @iron tendon

[iron tendon]

Oh ok, thanks! I think there was a situation where I caught something twice but it didn't register (minor bug?)

[indigo falcon]

hm it should, sure, so if you caught it via the fishing rod and not a trap, yeah that was a bug

[iron tendon]

Ah sorry, I think I got confused. I got the hypnotic octopus multiple times, but I realised it was an everywhere-fish, not a hot fish

[indigo falcon]

yeah it must be both uncommon AND specific to the biome

[shell kettle]

Am, I supposed to be able to get 2 of these?

[wintry void]

Why not, there is more than 1 of each fish type in the real oceans

[shell kettle]

It's the endgame fish, The Angler.

It doesn't stack so I'm assuming I was only supposed to get one.

But I placed some auto-fih catchers and they caught 2 of them.

[indigo falcon]

no, but it's happened. the traps can get two, a buglet

[wintry void]

I'd say its more like you havnt got it in your inventory yet, so it can spawn more

cause it thinks it needs to

[iron tendon]

what's the point of the 'lost angler's rig' ? Any point in installing this and then copying the multitool after finishing the expedition?

[shell kettle]

Cosmetic.

I think you can claim it from the kiosk.

I'll check that in a second.

[frozen laurel]

Yes.

[iron tendon]

It's so good that you can transfer everything from expedition to primary save by just pressing switch to primary save. Iron vulture can be claimed from quicksilver vendor and then copied as well if you have done adrift

[lusty slate]

Yeah, the expedition terminal is one of my favorite recent additions. Love raiding my inventory for stuff to send back.

Keep one, cook the other.

For the high temperature fish, do I need a scorched world? Every system I jump into says no scorched worlds, but do others have them? It’s been like 20 systems, is the tooltip steering me wrong?

Thanks

[bleak ether]

How long left

[clear hornet]

It was a b class. Not the best, but I can't complain.

[lethal spruce]

It's been a few weeks, but I believe I was able to get high temperature fish from a non-Paradise lush planet (Tropical maybe?) that had high-temp storms. From what I recall there were a few of those planet types along the expedition path.

[wanton raft]

I agree. I think it has to do with hot storms more than the normal temp of the planet, but it could be both and just based on how high the temp needs to be to qualify. Some planets may have water temps that are high enough all the time.

[wanton raft]

Actually, the only things which I know freighter classes has an effect on is hyperspace jump distance and maybe how many overcharged slots there might be. Class may not be as important with freighters.

[clear hornet]

Regardless, it would've been nice with an a or and s class 😛

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.

Plenty of time

[iron tendon]

If you're still stuck, there are plenty of sheltered bases in the scorched planet that you can teleport to via station terminal. I used "fishing point wharf" or something like that. They have a terminal there too, so you can then teleport back to whatever you were before

[primal arch]

Bruh I cannot get this third angle message 😭😭

Been trying for like 30 mins now

Do we have to get them from the particular fishing spots or can I get the bottled message from any planet after I visit a fishing spot

Just got a third one and it didn’t count 💔💔

[muted granite]

I believed that lie about the second last expedition. I learned a hard lesson, and no iron vulture was earned.

[placid dew]

Yeah, good thing I just amended my habits and starting to finish my expedition long before it ends.

[indigo falcon]

go to any body of water on the planet,no bait needed, just fish from shore is fine. some bottles will have regular messages in them, just read those and keep fishing, it's game rng

make sure the message is pinned, I would stay on the rendezvous planet

[wooden hawk]

So message one is from rendezvous 1 (the first of The Angler's fishing spots), message two from rendezvous 2 (their second spot) and so forth. You can catch additional random messages from spots you've already gotten The Angler's messages from, but if you want The Angler's next message you gotta go to their next fishing spot

Also, Expedition #15: Aquarius complete! T'was a good one, much more laid back than normal, which was nice. Good luck to everyone still going, the cosmetics are easily worth the time

[quaint notch]

idk why but im just starting the expedition so im wondering how long would it take to finish the whole thing starting today?

[iron sedge]

it's a bit RNG dependent and also depends how efficiently you go about it. I've seen people report have done it in <6 hours, probably better to budget for about 8. Take the time to look through the pins in this channel and all the expedition goals and you should be able to do everything just by visiting each rendezvous planet once and no other planets. Focus on getting the biome-specific fish from each planet first (and the anglers messages) and stuff like day/night/storm fish will naturally accumulate as you go. Make good use of other people's bases to protect you from the elements (and help yourself to any fish in the traps)

you can complete everything with the starting ship and multitool, you will have to spend some time farming enough resources for all the jump fuel you'll use

[quaint notch]

i have around 1 and a half weeks so do you think itll be enough time
after that time i have other stuff to do and wont be able to do it

[iron sedge]

I mean, if you can spare 8 hours of actual gaming time in that one and a half weeks then yes, absolutely

[quaint notch]

aight

assuming i do one phase per day should i be done in a few days?

[wraith junco]

U can also do most phase tasks out of order. So if u plan it u can do multiple tasks on same planet

[iron sedge]

don't focus on only one phase at a time, you'll end up doing more trekking back and forward. Just do whichever tasks are best suited to the planet you're on at the time

[quaint notch]

mkay :3
ty

[little torrent]

I recommend getting a stack of processed meat, it'll help boost your odds of fishing.
One of the milestones will give you bait recipes, those will help greatly once you make the ones you need.

And don't let the recipes fool you. They give a ton of bait per craft.

[indigo falcon]

I forget that every time, I had 120 magpulse lures before I realized it

[wanton frigate]

must be nice, knowing you have about 10% of the magpulse lures you're going to need already in the bag 😄
(Still bitter about how long the storm fish milestone took)

@ Miguel - don't worry too much about order, when you get to the fire, cold and radioactive rendezvous planets set up a small base with 3 walls,a roof and a floor that's just below water level. This lets you fish in hostile environments and storms in safety until you get your hot/cold/irradiated milestones, and you can release fish without getting into/out of the water. Note, the depth of the water ignores the floor, so if you dig a 60u pit under the house, you can catch Lunkers too. By the time you've cleared those 3 you'll probably also have gotten the release milestone, day and night fish and stored up 500K worth of fish to sell. If you haven't cleared the Storm one by then, do everything else and come back to it.

Quick question, I'm a little new: will the fishing rig and exo skiff be available in the base game after the expedition ends too?

[indigo falcon]

the lost angler rig is available on all saves as an expedition reward; the fishing rig and skiff blueprnits can be gotten at th eanomaly in the usual way (one from the mt vendor, the other from the exosuit vendor)

and that's regardless of expedition, those last two items

like right now I have those on a regular save.

[fiery urchin]

Thanks!

[uncut pelican]

Hello! Are expeditions a one time thing? There's a lot locked behind them and I am also running out of things to do in the game, it would be cool if they were replayable. Any answer is appreciated in advance, thanks.

[hollow shore]

They are timed events, so somewhat limited, but so far they have all been repeated once. Just this one and the last 3 were not repeated yet and we 'hope' for that to happen towards the end of the year.

[uncut pelican]

Thanks for all of the information, I will check those out. Thanks again! 🫡

[quaint notch]

how do i get to the rendevous point?

[hollow shore]

You use your ship and fly into space to then follow the 'expedition route', it will guide you to the next rendezvous system. You can enable a Milestone for it too, making guidance even easier

[quaint notch]

ok :3 ty

[hollow shore]

I do suggest to check any Milestones that can possibly still be done in the system you are currently in, before moving. You can return later though, use the teleporter on the Space Station, visit and land inside to make sure it is added to the list

[fossil token]

My 3rd ever fish was legendary is that just RNGesus shining upon me

[hot blade]

Will the traps catch storm fish?

[atomic estuary]

Im not sure, but either way it wont count for the milestone

you need to catch it yourself

[hot blade]

pain

Thank you

[dawn nimbus]

<dumbQuestion> Can you play an expedition on your main save? </dumbQuestion>

I always start a new save for it 🤔 but I saw the expedition terminal in the anomaly

[indigo falcon]

you can start an expedition from an existing save now, via that terminal, yes, and even send some tech and materials to the expd save to be claimed once that save has reached the anomaly, check out this link: #nms-questions message

[hot blade]

sitting on RV 2 and this storm is coming around once every 5 years

[low jackal]

the pain is real

grab a coffee

also craft some stormbait so you maxmium your chance when storm comes

[grand elm]

I've been to a few frozen planets and none of them have oceans to fish in. Am i missing something? I'm in systems marked as "water" too.

I'm trying to complete "Ice Cold" catch 5 uncommon fish from ice worlds

[vapid silo]

so whats the best way to get the storm fish

bait no bait?

[hot blade]

Thank you for your support!

When I grow up I want to be

[low jackal]

there is a stormbait

magpulse lure

catch more stormfish

you still have to be in a storm though

[low jackal]

you are just unlucky

iirc one of the fishing spot is a cold planet

[grand elm]

Do you remember which one?

[hot blade]

RV 3

From the 📌 s
#nms-expedition message

[grand elm]

okk thanks

[swift crane]

Just keep looking, you'll find one eventually (you can see oceans from space)

[swift crane]

Or just use portals to warp to someone arctic fishing hut

[shell kettle]

Does anybody happen to know if any of the expedition planets have Curious Deposits on them?

[marsh haven]

you'd think we would be able to search or annotate discoveries for info like that.

[little torrent]

Do you earn anything for setting ||The Angler|| free?

No? Ok.

[swift crane]

It's just a trophy

[little torrent]

Well I cooked it 😋

[shell kettle]

If that's sarcasm then I don't get it, that info isn't mentioned anywhere.

Found 'em, Rendezvous 3 planet has them.

[indigo falcon]

dunno, but you can just release caught fish for nanites

[shell kettle]

Huh, didn't know that. Thank

big boy

[eager prairie]

Is there a trick to getting legendary fish? I've used like 100 of the special lure that for them but haven't gotten anything.

[indigo falcon]

it's just game rng. I got a few in the course of trying to do the other milestones

[eager prairie]

I figured that. Was just curious bc i've been trying for like a week now.

[umbral nacelle]

I usually use the rarity below fish to try and get the rarity above chance to be better

[flat relic]

Btw did the devs tease the next expedition??

[civic forge]

Question the message in a bottles from the event had portal coordinates in them. Now can see them any one have them?

I think something is wrong with it

[pearl shard]

Dose anyone know where a scorched world is I’m having a hell of a time finding one

[ashen shore]

I'm trying to find one too, I'll keep ya updated

I remember it was one of the rendezvous systems

[somber flax]

I looked all over the place and couldn’t find a single one. Eventually just gave up on it.

I don’t mind exploring around a bit but at a certain point it gets ridiculous

[obsidian aurora]

@strong osprey rendevouz 3 iirc

I caught a legendary fish with the automated trap but it didn't trigger the legendary fish expedition quest. Do you need to manually catch it?

[ashen shore]

I think you have to manually fish it yeah

[silent knot]

all milestones that require catching fish require those fish to be caught manually, yes

[indigo falcon]

not yet, and they likely won't tease anything until this expedition ends

[indigo falcon]

they are just the glyphs for the rendezvous systems, nothing special as it turns out.

[indigo falcon]

see pins "where to go..." for this (cc @ashen shore ) Odeg (rendezvous 2 planet) is the one

[ashen shore]

Oh it's G I found it ages ago

[indigo falcon]

yes, trapped fish are good for nanites or selling but not those milestones

[ashen shore]

I think it's the starting system?

[indigo falcon]

lots of "where is X planet for Y milestone" are in the pins, folks might want to have a look at them

[indigo falcon]

no, not the starter system, r2, as Isaid in the reply. honest. Odeg, in system Syasthe, scorched with water.

in general they put everything you need right on these rendezvous planets.

[ashen shore]

The torrid planet?

Maybe I just visited a random system

[indigo falcon]

I don't know how it's styled in the discovery tab without logging on, but it's honestly the r2 system r2 planet, if you put a base there you could just go there and do the thing

[ashen shore]

My brain is so freaking muddled today istg

[indigo falcon]

eh no worries

[ashen shore]

I just gotta do the 8 scorched fish and 3 storm fish tomorrow

[indigo falcon]

okey dokey

a good place for the storm fish is in the pins too

bear in mind when you're doing the scorched world one, if a storm comes you should just fish right through it (you could put up a shelter by the water and just fish out from inside it if you want protection).... the storm fish may take a very long time to get, depending on game rng

(ask me how I know 😛 )

[fickle night]

Uhm, what bot command to check expedition time limit?

[shell kettle]

Is that faster than refining?

[indigo falcon]

oh I dunno, and I have some mould farms around on various saves. I just find it more relaxing and less tedious to fish and release

I do have release of a stack prettyoptimized, I know which slots to put the fish in and what to click to spam release them

Just under 3 weeks left

[indigo falcon]

soooo much time

[fickle night]

Thankyouuu

[ashen shore]

[fickle night]

I already completed expedition, but haven't End it xD

[ashen shore]

I love how they're longer now

They're more accessible :p

[indigo falcon]

5-6 weeks is the typical length, only the end of year reruns are short

[ashen shore]

I swear the ones around Endurance were shorter...

I remember them being a month long

[indigo falcon]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Expeditions this disagrees with you (at least as far as Polestar, which was the endurance expd) 😛

[ashen shore]

Huh...

Maybe it just felt shorter since I missed half of them XD

[indigo falcon]

it might have taken you less time to complete some of them for sure

[ashen shore]

I still haven't gotten to play Pioneers, Beachhead, Exobiology, Emergence, Blighted, Leviathan and Singularity

I hope they rerun those soon
I'll probably have to wait a while since I missed Singularity Redux last year

[indigo falcon]

I remember that a lot of people got dinged by the frigate expedition milestone, which meant waiting a day at least. the rest, except for scanning plants/animals/minerals, was fast enough

typically they rerun expds from the same year, there's only one exception I know of and that's cartographers (expd 3) in last year's reruns.

[ashen shore]

Oh so Singularity will probably still appear?

[indigo falcon]

this year we will probably see: omega, adrift, liquidators, aquarius as the reruns

[ashen shore]

Ah okie

[indigo falcon]

since those are this year's new expeditions

[ashen shore]

I got all of those done thankfully

[indigo falcon]

I'm looking forward to another more condensed round of "how do I do things with no npcs in the anomaly or at space stations" for the adrift redux 😄

[ashen shore]

XD

I didn't really play the expeditions I already had done

[indigo falcon]

oh sure, I don't rerun them, one pass through is fine, two is too much

[quartz mauve]

I always thought about after the final expansions of NMS, they should add every Expedition to replay at will at the terminus.

[indigo falcon]

I think it more likely that they would put them all on a shortened schedule, 2 weeks for each, starting over with the first one when the last one is done

that way it's still more of a community event for those running it

[shell kettle]

we cach lots of fih

[snow bear]

"inventory full"
"milestone completed: caught one legendary fish"
T_T

lol
(final milestone spoiler)

[indigo falcon]

yeah that's the one fish that can be trap caught and complete the milestone

[snow bear]

would be a feels bad if it would show up without completing the milestone

[wanton frigate]

Shouldn't it also be the one fish that knows better than to go near the traps??

[snow bear]

anyone got a good planet for the 100kg aquatic creature? I'm already beyond secret fishing spot 3 and can't find it again

[wanton frigate]

Pins! For gods sake check the pins before the Overseer finds out!

[indigo falcon]

check pins for this, also you can go to space station and teleport back to any space station that yuo previously visited, don't need the spot, just the planet

[indigo falcon]

too late 👀

[snow bear]

||maybe it wanted to be caught, to teach us a lesson or reincarnate again||
or, in my save, I headcanon I caught it but it slipped from my grasp and was washed into the trap (given the missed legendary due to full inventory I had right before)

[snow bear]

I thought I'd checked them but didn't see anything, mb

[indigo falcon]

"where to go" and look for the milestone name in there

[wanton frigate]

If you're on mobile, always click the most relevant pinned post for the full text

[snow bear]

Ahh that far down among the pins, I see

Thank you!

[wanton frigate]

If you just caught el squido especial, I think there's one on that planet

[snow bear]

Yes I found it now, thanks again! ^^

[neat mica]

Fish

[blissful gust]

So, it says I can teleport to any rdv site from the teleporter. I only see stations and player bases in the teleporter. What am I missing?

[pearl shard]

Thanks bud I will have to head back that way when I get home from work

[remote thunder]

hmm, i think that all i needed to do was to visit the relevant systems, and they were added automatically - do believe that's something the devs added to try and help players that got lost away from expedition route

[atomic estuary]

👉 #memes🤡
Dont post offtopic here @neat mica

[hearty briar]

Can I catch day-active fish without the bait I need for them? Because I can not craft the bait yet and I need to get the quest done

[atomic estuary]

bait will increase your chances but no, if you fish at ~~night ~~ daytime you have a chance to catch them

[atomic estuary]

btw milestone that gets you baits and lure isnt hard to do, you can just do it and then go back to fishing

[hearty briar]

Ahh that makes sense, thanks

[hearty briar]

I know, I have already done the quest but idk where my baits went

[blissful gust]

is it just worded badly then? The Rdv systems are accessible by teleporter, not the sites?

[pastel vapor]

Can the starship uphgrade slots from the aqurius expedition be used on my mains save ship or no? same with the nannites can I aqquire them on my main save?

[grim fossil]

If you’ve used an existing save to start the expedition you can just place the expansion slots in the expedition terminal when you conclude the expedition, this allows you to retrieve them from that same terminal, currency gets transferred over on the conclusion of the expedition (only if you used an existing save to start the expo)

If you started the expedition from a new save then no you cannot transfer the currency directly, as for items you would need a second player to assist in transferring items as they cannot be claimed on other saves like how main expedition rewards would.

[wooden onyx]

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!

near the end of the year (typically december) tey usually rerun the expeditions from that year, on a compressed timetable with adjusted milestones, 2 weeks each

[celest iron]

undrstood. i will keep an eye out for that

[indigo falcon]

you might try #nms-lfg-or-trades for that and be clear that you're talking about expedition play and not regular play, it's a low traffic channel so you might have to be patient

helooo...we are currently in the nagene system ..we need to find an irradiated planet with water bodies on it .. Can someone please tell in which system should we go ?? This is for the current aquarius expedition

[limpid kayak]

help guys help please

please

anyone there ?

need help

[indigo falcon]

check the pins, there is one "where to go" which will say which rendezvous system and planet is the one you need.

[indigo falcon]

what do you need help with?

[limpid kayak]

regarding this one...

we needed help

[limpid kayak]

the pins are not showing the planet we need to go

and we are facing difficulty finding one such planet

[indigo falcon]

it does. I know, I wrote it 😛 please just look through that one.

it names planet and system for all those things (frozen, irradiated, etc)

[limpid kayak]

here, can't find the name of the planet... we searched a lot from the discovery page as well

finish up our hyper drive fuel twice jumping system to system

[indigo falcon]

in the pins in this channel there is one that starts "Where to go for various milestones"

look at that one.

[limpid kayak]

oh, i see

😅

[indigo falcon]

(the other pins in the channel have useful tips too, might skim through those later when you have a chance)

you should be able to just go to anomaly -> spacestation of the right system -> pulse to planet (if you did not set up a base on each rendezvous planet, otherwise just go to the right base)

no warping around needed.

[balmy dirge]

yeaaa..we got it ..thank u so much for ur help.

[indigo falcon]

sure thing!

note that you must fish not just uncommon fish but uncommon -only-in-that-biome fish for them to count

[limpid kayak]

Thank you so much for the help😊

finally after 2 hours of that one thing i got ONE 🥳

[dusky sundial]

I can't find a high temperature planet to catch fish on.

I keep getting quest markers in one of the rendezvous planets, but none of the hot planets in that system have any water.

[wraith junco]

[echo glade]

Gonna give my first expedition a try....... RNG here I come!!!!! ....I'm so screwed lol....

[dusky sundial]

🙄

[indigo falcon]

it's a good idea to look at the pins in here, from about a week after the start we usually have a good lot of info, where to do certain milestones, how certain game mechanics work for specific milestones, etc. and of course the pin with the system and planet names goes up within a day normally

[dusky sundial]

I just felt the single emoji response was passive aggressive, and I'm really not gonna deal with that junk. Got the planet, though so I'll get fishing

[echo glade]

Is their any reason to not just destroy the fish once you get them to clear up inventory space unless its legendary?

thx^

[wintry void]

Sell for units or release for nanites

Destroying you get nothing

[echo glade]

kk tysm!

[lime plume]

The skiff also has a storage box if you wanna just keep fishing.

[echo glade]

Now I get never ending flying screen meaning my save file is jacked and it looks like the only file i can go back to is ..... restarting......

my main game is fine, the expedition is broken

[indigo falcon]

I don't think that was the intent (we get a lot of repeat questions in here, it's just saving on typing the same thing a lot). But anyways, sorry you felt that way, and hope you got the fish!

[indigo falcon]

restore point and autosaves are both screwed up? this might be a question for #nms-questions and if they get stuck, #964865106334875698 when someone who knows workarounds for your platform (I'm assuming PC?)

[echo glade]

got it working i think ty!

[indigo falcon]

what did you have to do, so we know for other players?

[kindred fossil]

It says raid abandoned building but there is literally no abandoned building here

nvm it fixed itself

[coarse garnet]

Did you manage to finish the old expedition where you needed to start everything again when you died ?

In this specific expedition I had several times planet who insta-killed me when I landed and walked on them.

[placid dew]

Instant death planets? That would be terrifying if it would ever happen on my triple digit-hour Permadeath saves but thankfully that had never happened....

^ finishing an expedition link

[distant knot]

Thnx

Hmm I might be blind. I don't see that saying nanites or creds transfer back from an existing save. Jut says you have to transfer the things you want to keep like tech and any other items that go into your inventory at the kiosk.

[remote thunder]

(you're right it doesn't - i thought it did, sorry. i'll draw attention to it and we'll add it in asap.) the answer is yes: units, nanites, even quicksilver will get merged back to primary save, but we can't confirm that all items left in unlocked inventories get converted into units - so for example, if you had some stuff to sell in a secondary ship, those would be best to sell before ending, not just leaving them - same for the ship itself - if you really didn't want it, you'd scrap it and sell the stuff to get the units (or use expedition terminus stash cargo slots to bring those sellables into main save, either way it works)

[distant knot]

Appreciate it. Was just wanting to make sure I could sell stuff in the expedition that I didn't need so it would carry over instead of having to fill up the kiosk to then sell it back on the main save. Thanks!

[loud hatch]

What's the trick to catching cold fish on a cold planet? I'm using lures/baits and after 30 minutes straight not a single cold fish. I hate RNG.

[crimson badge]

Just fish. I don’t like rng either but I did do some testing with family on our community planet and I believe that the rng will change little regardless of bait for example. I wish I could say otherwise but my suggestion is move every hour, depth matters, keep hazard protection filled and don’t let the sentinels catch you traveler

[remote thunder]

just use bait for rarity, there's no bait for specific biomes

[indigo falcon]

you can also fish from under a shelter if the hazard protection refill is getting too annoying. (wonder when they will fix the skiff to do hazard prot properly...)

[distant knot]

What about the phase 4 completion reward? The lost angler's fishing rig? What's the difference between it and the one you start with?

Sadly the reward wasn't marked in yellow text meaning we can't craft it on other saves.. so how do we get this on other saves? 😬

[silent knot]

the difference is the design
and you do get it on other saves

[distant knot]

Alright thanks. I always thought yellow text rewards were the only ones that were included on other saves.

[silent knot]

i've never paid attention to the text colour, not sure what it indicates

yep; devs usually rerun expeditions released in a year at the end of that same year again

so, we're expecting exp12,13, 14 and 15 reruns

[atomic cave]

And a horrible decrease in productivity.

[pine nimbus]

global productivity will just drop to 0 the moment expedition 16 comes out

[summer geyser]

wait, expedition 16

I have a deep hope it's a big one or at least a cool one

[flint totem]

Hey, I'm in the expedition and I've set bases next to 5 or 6 grave sites on one planet. Let me know if you want some glyphs in the expedition.

[opal oyster]

Thank you bjorn

[ionic stirrup]

What is the tridents key?

[wraith junco]

Its for chest buried near underwater ruins

U will need also pearl to open it

[indigo falcon]

you can use it at the chest at the rendezvous 5 point, if you have multiplayer off (and are willing to report any bases that prevent you from digging up terrain), this assumes you got a pearl from a clam already. but it's not required, it just gets you another item to sell

[hearty briar]

If I end my expedition, will the items from storage containers and my starship be transferred?

[indigo falcon]

no. they will be converted to units/nanites if you started the expd from an existing save, and those will transfer

[atomic socket]

Is this current expedition a quick one?

[cold tulip]

Very rng based, could be fast could be slow

[indigo falcon]

there's not a lot of hunting around for the right planet for anything, in any case all that info (planets suitable for this and that) is in the pins. but because this is a fishing expedition, many milestones are "catch X number of this sort of fish", which is up to game rng, you can only impact it a little with bait

[icy garnet]

How many phases are in the expedition

I can only see 5

[indigo falcon]

yep, 5 is always the number of phases (so far)

[elfin turret]

ty

almost done with 3 phases in like 2 hours, so I guess 2-3 more hours and I should be fine

[icy garnet]

Then why do I have to do 6+ phases to unlock some rewards at the Silverstone guy

[indigo falcon]

the quicksilver vendor? there's not 6 phases.

there's not 6 anything. there can be usually tiers 1-3 for a sequence of three items to be unlocked there. these are nexus missions, separate from expedition things

Ah thank you didn’t know that was a command

Was worried it was close to finishing lol

[elfin turret]

Can I just leave the automated traps on a planet and let them to their job while I travel to another planet?

[atomic estuary]

yeah, you can

[lavish osprey]

Is anybody running expeditions right now that can show me how to do them?

[bleak turret]

what is this chest for?

i open it and got nothing

[bleak turret]

its pretty simple, just follow the quests

[elfin turret]

It's a lot easier if you prepare yourself using your normal save. Also, here is a useful guide here:

I understand but that guide is not bad as well and it was provided to me in this very chat to be honest 😄

[elfin turret]

I feel I'm never going to catch the Angler or just a legendary fish lol

[bleak turret]

also how to do this one?

is it to fish on fire planet

[hollow osprey]

Fish on the last planet you go to with the message where you find the underwater building

[bleak turret]

any bait in specific?

[hollow osprey]

I just used the baits you got from the earlier reward

The Bionic Lure or whatever and then that didn’t work so I used the second best one

[bleak turret]

I ALREADY DONT HAVE ANY BAIT

sry caps

ok i got it during a storm lets go

the last one is just keep fishing until i get one?

[elfin turret]

Are there no ships landing on trading posts during expeditions?

[hollow osprey]

You have to scan a fish

[hollow osprey]

Like go in the water and scan an animal with the F scanner

[elfin turret]

I want to go back to the second rendezvous planet, but I can't find it so I'm looking for a portal, but can't find one either 😦

[bleak turret]

yeah

but i dont see big ones

i have no idea where i got a 90kg one

[hollow osprey]

I found one on the ice planet

Where the message sends you

[bleak turret]

what message?

[hollow osprey]

The message in the bottle

You go there to fish the next one, it’s an ice planet

[bleak turret]

so youmean the previous planet

[hollow osprey]

I do not remember the order I did it a couple weeks ago sorry

[elfin turret]

It says it's a suitable system with scorched planets, but non of them says 'scorched' when I point at it. Does it mean any of the planets in the system with oceans will do?

[gaunt fern]

the hot fish planets are in the pins. any hot planet will work.

[elfin turret]

already found it yep

now i just need the angler and 2 fishes during storms lol

[gaunt fern]

good storm planet in pins too.

All ships updgraded all OP vs what game can throw at u. Non upgraded ships perform worse than upgraded/higher class ones. Ship types have aspects of what they perform best. Explorers have highest jump range, fighters highest dmg potentail, haulers have strongest shields and high slot amount etc.

[limpid kayak]

Guys, need help... The ICE COLD mission in the Aquarius expedition says to catch 5 uncommon fishes from ice worlds...
I am on a frozen planet, and have been catching uncommon fishes, but the mission progress bar stays at zero... How to complete this mission now, please help...

[neat mica]

They need to be ice world exclusive, not just normal uncommon fish

[limpid kayak]

Oh i see... But I had caught couple of fishes with Frozen in their name, aren't they supposed to be ice world exclusive?

[neat mica]

Should be

Been a while since I've played, kinda stopped after the expedition

Just keep going until you get it

That's what I did

[limpid kayak]

Oh... Ok

[ruby hollow]

It will be in the description if it’s frozen or not

[limpid kayak]

Okay 👌😊

[robust wind]

Anyone else noticing fish disappearing from the cold storage box?

[noble cobalt]

exp ends in //KZZZZZT// days

[remote thunder]

not i've noticed, but i haven't been accurately keeping track of it tbh - i think i'd notice if a decent amount of stacks started going missing though

got screenshots from before they went missing?

maybe raise a bug report? i haven't seen anybody reporting that, but i only really do this server, not really looking at other sources like reddit

[robust wind]

I did take screenshots because they were the first time I had ever caught them. I'm not too worried about losing the fish but I just wanted to mention it. I am still having fun. It does seem like a bug.

[remote thunder]

I will thank you

[remote thunder]

[sharp sorrel]

For the expedition - If I synthesize my multitool and starship, does that get rid of my ship and tools on primary save?

[atomic estuary]

no, it creates a copy, your gear will be fine

[sharp sorrel]

sweeet

[sharp sorrel]

How do you tell if the tempurature is hot enough for in hot water

just if its humid weather?

[robust wind]

I think if the water is hot. I caught a fish in high temperature water and saw the number go up so I made a base there and went back to finish that milestone later.

[sharp sorrel]

ahhhh ok

thanks

[frozen laurel]

How do you transfer stuff to the Exoskiff? And is it supposed to offer weather protection?

[robust wind]

No weather protection that I am aware of from it and you interact with the cold storage boxes on either side of it.

[frozen laurel]

Oh man, I saw them as features, but it's in the Experimental Branch. I thought it'd been deployed already.

[robust wind]

You can only put the highlighted stuff in it though like lures, bait and fish as well.

[frozen laurel]

Right.

[robust wind]

I was trying to figure out how to use it too and I kept using the paint color option until I stumbled across the cold storage boxes on the sides.

[robust wind]

Oh wow that would be really nice. I assumed it already had that initially and then realized it didn't. That would make the storm fishing much easier. I have just been building a little fishing enclosure to do it in.

[indigo falcon]

th weather protection is only at a tiny little point in the center of the skiff (this is a bug, feel free to report), you have to fiddle around to makeit take, and then it's hard to stay on that point with the skiff moving around.

[pine nimbus]

expedition complete‼️ 🎉

i'd like to say
you would not BELIEVE how much i fished

[robust wind]

Oh that's good to know thank you!

[robust wind]

Gratz! I just finished it a bit earlier too.

[pine nimbus]

i'm trying not to say much for spoilers, but those last quests were actually really cinematic for just. fishing

also the fishing rig you get as a reward is just. Fire

[robust wind]

Yes I really like all the new interesting equipment you get from this one that you can pull out and use in the world. It's been very fun!

[pine nimbus]

also, fun fact, i brought all the message bottles as a little trinket
the portal coordinates unfortunately, outside of the expedition, just render as things like %PARTY_1% to %PARTY_5%

[robust wind]

I did notice the coordinates at the bottom of that. I'm glad you looked into it because I forgot to.

[indigo falcon]

yes, you have to screenshot them before you bring them over; it turns out the glyphs just point to the portal systems anyways, so no big deal 🙂

[craggy pivot]

whats a good storm planet to fish on?

[indigo falcon]

please check the pin in this channel which starts "where to go" and look for the info on that milestone. (info on other milestones is in that pin too if you need it)

[craggy pivot]

ty .v.

[frail hound]

do u get a ship from this expedition?

[ionic stirrup]

My auto trap caught a legendary 😭

It doesn’t count towards the expedition

I’m going to drown myself

[indigo falcon]

but it sells for a lot or youcan release it for good nanites

[wraith badge]

or cook it for that Legendary feeling .. 😉

[flint cove]

How do I catch the anglers legacy?

[indigo falcon]

be at a body of water on the 5th rendezvous planet and fish, that's all there is, it's game rng

we don't know if an increased rarity bait helps or not, tbh

[flint cove]

It does

I got 3 by mistakes

Thanks

[indigo falcon]

congrats!

[flint cove]

No I can’t get the fish during the storm it’s my last mission 😭😭

[indigo falcon]

well that pin with 'where to go' has a frequent storm planet which might help

and here th storm bait will help too, look at the pinned bait list and see what is a reasonable thing to make some of for you

[flint cove]

I have the magpluse lure bait rn and on the planet of the last rendezvous

I tried using the bait without a storm but nothing so jus trying to wait on a storm now

[indigo falcon]

you must have the biome and environment right to have any chance to catch the fish, the bait increases the chance

there's a specific planet in a rendezvous system with frequent (as opposed to once a day) storms, check the pins for it

also bear in mind you can build a shelter and fish from within it to not have to deal with hazard prot

[flint cove]

Ok ima look for another planet in this system

[indigo falcon]

up to you, good luck!

[flint cove]

Thanks

[wooden onyx]

anyone planning to start the expedition in the next few days?

[indigo falcon]

dunno but you might ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades and be specific about your time frame etc, also be patient, it's a low traffic channel

[wooden onyx]

ah i asked there as well ty

[indigo falcon]

good good, that's where people look for gameplay with others

[dire dirge]

I caught mine using geknip as bait 😭

[sharp sorrel]

So any storage augmentations - Can I bring those back once my expedition is done

[frozen laurel]

Smart. Good to know.

[sharp sorrel]

Is it important to bring back angler diary to primary save?

[wraith junco]

No. Its just a souvenir

If u collect unique things from expeditions u can.

[brave echo]

Did we all get the same starting ship last expedition or is that random? Multitool as well?

[calm yoke]

I am struggling so hard to catch one more storm fish

[dreamy solar]

Anyone try server hopping for storms by toggling multiplayer on/off?

[broken tusk]

are you using MagPulse bait?

I found a stormy planet and got them in minutes. . .

[calm yoke]

I ended up making a munch of rice and fish and that helped

[crude peak]

i cannot for the life of me complete my last thing for the expedition, i need to catch a 100kg fish. any ideas?

[merry dagger]

Hey, uh. Quick question.

Every time I try to go to Rendezvous 1, I get an infinite hyperspace loading screen.

Idk what's going on.

[atomic estuary]

how long is infinite in this case? did you tried to wait ? I think some users reported loading times getting longer

[crude peak]

nvm lmao i scanned something and got it first try

[merry dagger]

I was sitting there for 15 minutes

On my save, I have 2 jumps to get there. The first takes the normal time. The one going to the actual rendezvous is the one that's not working

[atomic estuary]

then im not sure, Cant help with that

One thing you can try is to disconnect device from the internet and try to warp, maybe The amount of player bases is a factor here maybe not.

[merry dagger]

That's a possibility

Also going to get out of my ship and save after the first jump to see if that fixes anything

Third time's the charm

[merry dagger]

Disconnecting seems to have worked

[gleaming shuttle]

I also get this, for portals as well as hyperspace jumps

[little jungle]

Is there any way to restart it?

From the beginning?

[sharp basin]

I was hoping that my favorite fishing lure would become possible. It is a guaranteed success rate with this bait. It's called by some quirk of the imagination 'Dynamite'. Cast it and reap the bounty.. ;p

[pine nimbus]

i can now only imagine just. an innocent fish absolutely tripping out before getting caught

[elder yarrow]

Cause I'm basically gonna have to power through this, any recommendations on what to import into the expedition from the main save?

[cold tulip]

You dont need much, mostly just fishing. Bring the basic survival stuff

Like cobalt, oxygen, copper etc.

[frozen laurel]

There's a list in the Pins.

[pine nimbus]

we believe in you. power through it 🙏

also, word of advice, fishing is quite the task, so if you for some reason have bait in your main save, absolutely bring it with you

[indigo falcon]

you could bring materials to craft the more expensive baits I guess, have a look at the pin that describes some useful baits and see

[loud vortex]

Has any body has this problem? i keep getting stuck on the warp screen when trying to get to the first rendezvous

yes, turn off multiplayer, maybe disconnect from the internet for the warp.

An Expedition 13 reward. Wait for the devs to rerun Expedition 13 later this year. Otherwise, your alternatives are
save editing/modding/service bot
or another player that has one or its parts.

we can't predict which expeditions will give what
examples form this year, 12 gave you a ship and multitool, 13 a ship and frigate
those will be most likely rerun at the end of the year, yo ucan get those rewards then

what about really old expeditions?

[silent knot]

they aren't usually rerun, like the ones from the past year at the time of reruns are

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Can I get past expedition rewards?

HG has historically reran expeditions from a given year at the end of said year.
This means expeditions 12-15 will most likely be rerun at the end of this year,
allowing players to get their rewards.

For older expeditions, your options are save editors, modding, or the Service bot.
additionally, for some expedition rewards, such as ships, players that have them may transfer to others.

[visual crane]

Any tips on Storm fishing?

[indigo falcon]

use pagpulse bait; go to the planet in r4 system with frequent storms (see pin "where to go..." for which one it is), build a shelter and fish from inside it to save your hazard protection; take breaks when you find it gets too tedious.

[visual crane]

Thanks!

And Hot water fishing? 😄 similarly?

[indigo falcon]

for that, you want the hot planet (see pins), can fish from within a base next to water, use rarity increasing bait if you want (see pins for some baits), note that you really need uncommon + hot biome only fish, just uncommon won't do, the fish description will tell you when caught

[sonic oar]

not really, its incredibly relaxed and i finished it in a day

[quartz mauve]

It was really hard during the Expedition to find a Hit planet which also contained water, but my first system had one and I had caught just less than half needed, but it was one of my last ones completed still cuz later on theres no planets hot w/ water hardly

[sonic oar]

i think the average time to finish would be 3~ days tho

[indigo falcon]

the pins have one 🙂

[kindred tusk]

First time doing an expedition as a super casual player. Thankful for all the bases by all the other players for resources. Still feels a bit overwhelming tho 😅

[median ember]

Alien Multitool
Rendezvous 3
Ice planet

[sullen monolith]

Expeditions last planet has hot storms but isnt considered a hot planet to catch hot temp fish? Are they fr?

[indigo falcon]

no solanium, it's the wrong biome. check pins for the right place

[sullen monolith]

Thats the only place for a hot planet then? Rendezvous two

[indigo falcon]

uh huh andit's got water, no need to go anywhere else. (quick teleport there from your local space station, assuming you stopped in the space station in that system and didn't put a base down)

[sullen monolith]

Uh oh

I hope i did visit the space station, else ima have to trek all the way back

[indigo falcon]

or go to r1 or r3

[lilac crane]

I'm done with the expedition but trying to catch them all™
I've noticed a couple of the rare fish are a lot rarer than the rest

[indigo falcon]

depth and biome and storm/not storm all make a difference

[sullen monolith]

Storms are almost impossible to fish in, i just start getting tossed around like im paper lol

[lilac crane]

Yeah, I was fishing in 100u deep in a storm, but not sure what the fish I'm missing need, I've caught some deep water legendary fish in shallow water too lol

[indigo falcon]

build a base by the water, stand inside and fish from there

[sullen monolith]

Good advice

[lilac crane]

I made atleast one indoor fishing base for every biome type. If you're done with the expedition hit me up and I can take you to them

[lilac crane]

You can fish through most glass walls too

[indigo falcon]

pretty goofy but who cares 😄

[gloomy yarrow]

Oh. During storms, I just wedged myself into the exo-skiff just in front of the cooler so I'd be less likely to slip off the back, and just got really good at spotting whether the line turned green since I couldn't hear the catch noise.

Building a base sounds way less frustrating.

Can you fish in moon pools?

[median ember]

🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

I can't seem to deploy that automated thingy....
Do I need a base for it ..

[sullen monolith]

Nah

But ngl, i just went around taking fish from others traps lmao

[gloomy yarrow]

Classy

Though, to be fair, I'm pretty sure most people forget them, since they float and thus you can't leave a save beacon at them.

It would be neat if they had added a submarine sentinel variety. It would spice up the threat level of doing underwater stuff.

[median ember]

It says need to be put in water.... But I can't seem to deploy it even if I am in middle of ocean

[indigo falcon]

put on top of the water. you can stand on the shore next to the water and put it down right there. much more convenient to collect too

[median ember]

I did just that ... But it keeps on saying need to be in water...

[gleaming tapir]

how do you go "back" to your "main save" when starting an expedition?

[loud surge]

Exit the expedition

[gleaming tapir]

How do you do that 😄

[loud surge]

Open the expedition tab (where it has the objectives) and go to Options. There should be a button that says "Return to Menu" or something like that

Your Expedition Save is separate from your Main

[gleaming tapir]

Thx

[sullen monolith]

If you are on a hot planet, but its not hot at the moment cuz its night, will you still be able to catch hot temp fish? Id assume no but just wondering

[kindred tusk]

Silly question, but it's my first expedition. I copied over my starship from my primary save, and applied any starship upgrades from completing phases onto it. At the end of the expedition, would I be able to copy it back to my primary save? And in doing so, would that mean I won't be able to copy the expedition ship?

[blissful onyx]

Yes, you can copy the expedition ship by swapping to it before you go back to main game

And your starship as well

[kindred tusk]

Gotcha, thanks!

[blissful onyx]

Yw

[kindred tusk]

Sorry, last question. Would copying my primary save starship from the expedition just overwrite its current state on my primary save?

[sullen monolith]

There doesnt appear to be a way to craft the exo skiff out of the expedition, i forgot to take it with me lol

[kindred tusk]

I believe the Freedom of the Sea milestone gives you the exoskiff plans.

[blissful onyx]

I believe it will overwrite the current ship your using on the main save

Or you can just add it to your ship hangar if you have space, I forgot

If your asking if you can have 2 of the same ship or more, yes

[sullen monolith]

Yea but that doesn't seem to carry over once you finish the expedition and go back to primary save

I cant craft it on my primary now that ive done the whole expedition

[kindred tusk]

Ah I misread your question. I think I just got the blueprints from the Anomaly on my main save, before even starting the expedition.

[sullen monolith]

Hmm

Ah yes there it is

Thanks

[teal jetty]

is there currently an expedition? if so, how mch time left

[kindred tusk]

I think Aquarius goes until the 21st of this month.

[teal jetty]

thanks

[indigo falcon]

a hot planet means it has solanium as a resource, if you fish inthat biome you can catch the biome-specific fish at any time.

[sullen monolith]

Yea i figured that out and finished the expedition, thank you tho

[indigo falcon]

both the fishing rig and the exoskiff are purchasable from the anomaly for nanites on any regular save, go to the suit tech vencor for one and the mt tech vendor for the other.

Could someone possibly help me with finding a fish to scan thays 100kg or over for my last expedition mission

[indigo falcon]

please check the pin "where to go..." in this channel and look at the info on the milestone, it will direct you.

[bleak vigil]

I don't see it...

Oh wow, thank you.

the pins in here can be very helpful if you get stuck on a milestone.

[visual crane]

Any tips for The Lunker? (3 enourmous fish). Will be the last mission I'll have left soon 😄 I'm at 1/3. Seems rarer than legendaries?

[silent knot]

fish in deep waters

much more common in deeper waters than shallow

[visual crane]

Thanks! So, oceans essentially?

[silent knot]

yep, as deep of a spot as you can find, i think the cutoff for maximum chances is 50 or 60u and deeper?

[indigo falcon]

50u I think, and if you use size-increasing bait, that can help (see pins for some baits)

How to complete the milestone “Scales of Fire“?

[indigo falcon]

check the pin in this channel "where to go" and look for that milestone in there for info.

[true lintel]

Thanks

[edgy crane]

Just coming back to the game after a couple years. Do I have time to do whatever this expedition thingie is? I see there's not much time left

And it seems complicated lol

[cold tulip]

More than enough time

Not hard at all, maybe a bit time consuming depending on rng

[edgy crane]

Nice, thank you 😄

[teal jetty]

cant warp to the location? infinite loading/warping sequence??

i have already exited the game and tried again. infinite warping time

[indigo falcon]

disconnect the internet, then warp in. there's something about the number of bases there or maybe some of the specific bases that is causing a long loading time 😦

[teal jetty]

went to the space station, then tried warping again and it worked

[steady idol]

Bit naff the skiff doesn't protect from elements

[indigo falcon]

it does but you have to stand right on one tiny spot near the center, known bug

[charred viper]

@atomic estuary thanks

Waiting for a storm to maybe get the 2 fish I need

When you want a storm it never comes, don't want it it's every minute

[atomic estuary]

Wrong chat 😅

[indigo falcon]

there's a frequent storm planet in one of the rendezvous systems, I forget which one (the 'where to go" pin has the info I think)

[fossil token]

Anyone else finding this one especially tedious

Lousy rng on these specific fish requirements is

[gloomy yarrow]

I actually really enjoyed it, but I also like real fishing. Just sitting there and waiting is nice and peaceful and kinda meditative, at least to me.

There aren't any extra rewards if I do it twice, though, right?

[fossil token]

It is on a Paradise planet. Not on extreme weather planets all these stupid fish types seem to require

[obtuse jungle]

TIL: You can use terminal in Anomaly to start expedition. I started mine from scratch and finished it in 3 days 😓

[solar perch]

Took me 2 days of like 5 hour sessions

[shut plank]

Done, on both PC and Switch, really time consuming, but it is a relaxing expedition actually.

[river vessel]

any tips to find legendary fish?

[wraith junco]

Keep on fishing

[kindred tusk]

First ever expedition done! It was fun, though RNG sucked for a bit for the storm fishing.

[elder yarrow]

how many nanites do i need to copy over an S rank MT and ship?

[kindred tusk]

It's about 2k each.

[strong wasp]

How long does the expedition take to complete I'm considering starting it but idk if I'll have enough time

[kindred tusk]

I did it in 2 days, as my first ever expedition. Some people did it even faster, depending on their RNG luck.

still lots of time

[fossil token]

Banamanamana

[left pivot]

just be prepared to spend 12 or more hours on it

[snow bear]

I did it in one evening

It's really chill, especially if you take stuff from your main save to craft baits

[valid magnet]

A there any places what are buying fish at high price?

Someone tried to vandalize rendezvous point 5?
How this edit is even shared? There is no base in vicinity

[teal socket]

spent probably a little more than half that time to finish it. on 2nd account, was even quicker as I just crafted lots of bait before the expedition and sent it via terminal which made it super easy to get everything.
knowing to overlap milestones helped a lot too

[remote thunder]

if there really is no base nearby, i'm guessing that it's either like a visual glitch, or was data shared through the public multiplayer instance

try to save+reload, see if it's still there

[frozen laurel]

I see the same terrain edits.

[remote thunder]

got multiplayer enabled? could be that you landed in the same instance, but hmm, tbh sounds more like an uploaded base

[grim hamlet]

i got sidetracked for several weeks, and am trying to finish the expedition (haul in the anglers legacy). im not seeing a marker for it anywhere though

[kindred tusk]

There’s no marker, you just fish till you get it.

[grim hamlet]

the quest is mentioning a specific planet though, does it not matter?

[grim hamlet]

i figured out the teleporter labels the rendezvous points so i was able to use the teleporter to get where i needed to go 😛

[south crown]

Finally finished. Overall I enjoyed it, but man Fins of Thunder sucked big time.

[grim hamlet]

also finished 😛 i just used someone else's house to fish from the inside of it for some of the wild ones

[frail ember]

how do i get this non fish item for phase 1, i literally cant get this thing man

[atomic estuary]

fish without bait, you will eventually catch something, you can also progress the expedition while ignoring it for now, you might catch something along the way

milestones and phases dont have to be done in order

[frail ember]

i got an old boot less than a minute before you said this but i did end up using no bait and it worked

this fishing stuff is hella peaceful

[fossil token]

I can't get the same thing in phase 5. Refuses to spawn

This shit is so tedious and the good bait is too much of a pain in the ass to craft in an expedition

I need like a million lubricants

[meager scroll]

To catch non-fish item remove any bait from the fishing rod, select the milestone as active and try again

[naive prism]

btw how long until the expedition ends? my brain is still hunting bugs :/

Does old expedition get rerun?

[silver smelt]

They usually rerun them around Christmas

[lusty slate]

In the past, they usually rerun the current year's expeditions during the holidays. So Omega, Adrift, Liquidators and Aquarius should start reruns around Dec.

However, they don't tend to run an expedition again after it's rerun. The only exception to this being the Cartographers remix in 2023 (which probably only happened because there was only 3 expeditions that year instead of the usual 4).

[haughty atlas]

Will we be able to craft those Tentacled Figurines on our main save? Or do i need to craft and bring some from the expedition?

[atomic estuary]

you will be able to redeem blueprint for it at quicksilver shop

[haughty atlas]

Ahh ok, are there any items i should bring from the expedition that are impossible to get on my main save, im kinda a collector and don't wanna miss out on anything

[atomic estuary]

Probably the bottles with messages and the angler, that's what I took with me back to my primary save

[heady plume]

how do you bring it back?

[atomic estuary]

if you started using another save then you can send items back using expedition terminus on the space anomaly

[heady plume]

okay

[heady plume]

aquarius is complete 🎉

this was really nice, ive always liked fishing in games since its a slow and relaxing thing to do.. it lets you actually spend time in places people normally don't focus on in games

[frail ember]

are expeditions and fishing availaible in the vr version? I really want to be able to sit there in vr fishing away

[kindred tusk]

Damn I didn’t bring anything from the expedition back.

[dull whale]

This is my first time ever doing an expedition. I have a question.

I have gotten to the second Rendezvous solar system, there is no gold marker when I am in the system to indicate the right planet. I know I'm in the right system because the Galaxy view does show the gold marker.

I have done the tasks for this stage. I can't get a marker to the third system, it does not path in the Galaxy view,

What might I be doing wrong? I have been stuck on this for at least 5 hours now, or I wouldn't ask.

[cold tulip]

U sure the milestone is selected?

Is multiplayer off?

[dull whale]

multiplayer is off

yes I'm sure its selected, I have double, triple and quadruple checked it.

should I try it with multiplayer on?

I assume the marker should be on Letap Prime?

@cold tulip Thank you for trying. It was genuinely appreciated. I will give multiplayer a try,

[cold tulip]

For rdv 3 yes, the coords are also on the pins

[dull whale]

Heh, then I am really, really, lost, lol

[cold tulip]

Try restarting the game

You can also ask in #nms-questions

Bk or tyndall will know more 🙂

[cold tulip]

Multiplayer off is fine.

[dull whale]

ok, I'm still laughing at how lost I am. lol

It's been a long night,..

@cold tulip Ok, Thank you, I figured it out, I really was lost. I was looking for 2 not three. Pardon me, I'm old and senile. I see the marker now. 😊

Can we just pretend this didn't happen?

[cold tulip]

Sure 🙂

[dull whale]

😊

[feral scaffold]

Whilst on the expedition I've claimed a couple of ships from distress beacons I've found. I really like them, is there any way of getting them across to my main game before the expedition ends?
