nms-expedition

[remote thunder]

you need to goto building anyway

[deft lichen]

ok thanks

[remote thunder]

phase 5 will have another

[brisk junco]

no such thing in this game

[deft lichen]

been playing too many jrpgs im traumatized lmfao

[brisk junco]

theres softlocks in the main story, unless those got fixed

[severe pendant]

So I could go back and help people survive being invincible? 😂

[remote thunder]

(there's some nasty bugs, but they're rare)

[brisk junco]

but those you can fix p easy

[remote thunder]

nah - you're on a normal mode save now - can't play with expedition characters

[brisk junco]

do exped again

:3

this is probably the easiest exped so far

[severe pendant]

So the expedition is another “universe”

[brisk junco]

really cool tho

[trail iron]

seperate instances yes. but same universe. HG just "tweaks" the planets in rendezvous systems

[bright sparrow]

One bug example is me right now just entered the second portal. 5 minutes the portal animation still going

[brisk junco]

are you playing with multiplayer enabled

[bright sparrow]

I believe multiplayer is enabled but pvp is off

[brisk junco]

nearly every bug you run into can be fixed by turning off multiplayer

[trail iron]

animation can take longer if there are a lot of players/bases at the destination

[brisk junco]

multiplayer is very game breaking

[trail iron]

because the animation is basically a load screen

[remote thunder]

this can happen in expedition or heavily populated systems because there's too many uploaded bases. disabling multiplayer can help, but won't eliminate the problem. to eliminate the problem, you'd have to turn internet off, or block the game from accessing internet via firewall

[brisk junco]

i havent had an issue that severe so dont fret about doing allat

[bright sparrow]

Interesting

[remote thunder]

we've seen 10+ minutes loading times being reported, with internet on

[bright sparrow]

I'll try that now

[south salmon]

Wat

[deft lichen]

oh my god this is so exciting i cant believe they're revisiting this lore beat

[remote thunder]

which part are you having trouble understanding

[trail iron]

Of the five systems they make you visit during expedition the 3rd, 4th and 5th systems have exotic animal planets

NOTE you do not have to do the milestones IN ORDER. you can complete them in any order you want (mostly)

Theres one ? that requires a prerequisite

[brisk junco]

well

several

for the blood vials

[remote thunder]

agreed

only craft relevant elixir of blood when asked to

only craft elixir of quicksilver when asked to

[unkempt kraken]

<:info:850810445577453658> Expedition 16: "Breach" Milestones...

...require the right type of Elixir of Blood per phase:

Phase 1:
Phase 2:
Phase 3:
Phase 4:
Phase 5:

Be sure to have selected the right "Breach" milestone,
before interacting with the portal marked by
Elixir of Quicksilver.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[brisk junco]

quicksilver is fine, just dont eat it

[remote thunder]

best not to risk it.

[brisk junco]

i had mine active for a fat minute

[remote thunder]

seen bugs with it.

as mentioned, seen multiple mishaps/bugs over crafting it before the time

mission scripts that have to be progressed to the letter and such

[smoky drift]

where do i find mordrite?

[brisk junco]

kill animals

oh thats a wild thing to see the second i land

[remote thunder]

yay! 😄

it's greeting you

[brisk junco]

they're so cute honestly

[remote thunder]

ahuh

personally, i love spiders

their noises

[lusty slate]

Lol, super charged voltaic amplifier makes the quads a joke.

[remote thunder]

+50% damage

nasty

[weak linden]

can you not transfer your companion egg out?

[remote thunder]

it's an account wide reward

just go to qs shop/claim exp rewards

in any save under the same account, including primary

[lusty slate]

Especially with a 25k neutron cannon. Stun, two shots, boom

[remote thunder]

para mortar and volt amp are heavily underrated by many imo

[lusty slate]

Copied my Atlas scepter over. 😛

[weak linden]

oh so I don't have to select it to xfer out it just auto comes with me like my ships and MTs?

It's already in my inventory and I did the modification to it

[remote thunder]

it doesn't auto come with you - just trust me. claim it in exp. after you get back to your primary save, goto anomaly/qs shop/claim expedition rewards. it will be there. claim it,

[remote thunder]

if that egg is the egg in the expedition inventory, you cannot bring it with you

also note that there's a bug right now hatching that exp16 cmpanion egg

[brisk junco]

ok trying to kill quad corrupteds is actually kinda wild while also getting raided by animals and squids

[trail iron]

build a warbase 😄

[brisk junco]

i actually might need to

[vague hedge]

Should I play the new Expo

Looks spooky

[remote thunder]

yeah, with boundary strength at 0%, and hazard overlay at 130% i almost couldn't see a thing

[brisk junco]

thats the first time ive died in this game since launch

[trail iron]

pro tip, roof overhang helps, as do shortwall fence/perimeter

[weak linden]

that might explain why it says it's some random module or the last item I hovered over...

[trail iron]

yeah same here

[weak linden]

Guess I'll just dump it then 😦

[remote thunder]

well, yes, definitely. i suggest skimming over https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/10/expedition-sixteen-the-cursed/

[vague hedge]

[brisk junco]

you should play every expo

[proper olive]

does anyone have coords to 50m deep water

[brisk junco]

they're the best part of this game imo

[brisk junco]

make your own

[vague hedge]

Can you play the rest?

[proper olive]

how

[brisk junco]

no

[proper olive]

just by digging down>

?

[brisk junco]

terrainmanipualtor

yeah lol

it counts

[vague hedge]

[brisk junco]

thats how i did the fishing exped

[brisk junco]

thats why they're very worth doing

and each of them offer limited time rewards for every save

[turbid folio]

o3o any advice on finding ||the alien ruins?||

[vague hedge]

Which kind you looking for

Underwater or Above ground

[turbid folio]

any, for the expedition

[remote thunder]

buy 4 alien charts, use 1, if monolith marker use another (spam use through errors), when you get alien artifact or plaque or ancient ruin goto it. buried ancient ruins won't work

[turbid folio]

ok! tyvm

[vague hedge]

Yeah just get some travel data and fling it right at a cartographer

[unkempt kraken]

@turbid folio
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Obtaining Nav Data

To be able to get specific planetary charts from the Station Cartographer, we need nav data. Easily gathered from lootable objects around Space Stations.

Alternative sources:

• Some Component/Tech Vendor npcs in Minor Settlements/Planetary Archives;
• Waypoint/windmill save points, often next to buildings, the first time they're interacted with.
• Ancient Data Structure clusters on some planets;
  

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

there's a milestone that rewards x20 nav data

[turbid folio]

lucklt i have 37 nav lol

[remote thunder]

phase 4 milestone 1 iirc

[woeful whale]

Does anyone wanna do expedition stuff ???

[lusty slate]

That's the eighth one! Coool.

[clear shadow]

Silly question, but can the Boundary Ship be broken up into ship parts like the Iron Vulture?

[remote thunder]

nope

it appears that it would work, as it's an explorer underneath, but it wont drop any parts

[clear shadow]

Gotcha, thx. Just about to complete it and was wondering if was worth doing that one or harvesting a few more Iron Vulture parts.

[lusty slate]

Protip for quads. Neutron cannon+paralysis mortar+voltaic amp if you have that on an MT you can copy. Flew around until I spotted spiders near drills. Landed, stun, two shots, dead. Moved on to the next one.

[clear shadow]

Obligatory “1 shot with Geology Cannon” response 😛 But yours sounds like a nice viable alternative

[cerulean olive]

Protip for quads, kill them with your ship cannon, land ship, hop out, reload save. rinse and repeat, 10 mins later it's done 😄

[remote thunder]

yeah, i did basically the same, looking for resonators, landed

took me 20min to do milestone "on foot". (the shooting part i mean)

[proper olive]

when im floating abocve the water thats 59 feet deep, it sayts its working but the time is not going up its staying 0/60

[remote thunder]

try jetpacking up a bit, letting it float down - i was at 75u, and it worked just fine all the way

or just try finding a spot that's just a little deeper

[weak linden]

I just sat still in deep water

[remote thunder]

yep, same

kept pressing H to force cycle hints to make sure it was still counting

[weak linden]

I did it out of sequence so never saw a timer

[clear shadow]

So, I’m about to close out of the expedition - but it’s giving me a warning that there are still “Optional milestone available” but I don’t see any here. Is that just a glitch or something? All my milestones for the expedition are completed.

[remote thunder]

post a screenshot of your expedition tab

i reckon that's not really what they wanted to say, that there are any, but that perhaps if there were any - that sounds like a reused tooltip string

[halcyon sundial]

when it asks float on surface over 60m deep

do I need my ship there?

[remote thunder]

nah

my ship was on land on an island nearby

[halcyon sundial]

so when they mean float why exactly is supposed to happen

[torpid swan]

hey, newbie here. what should I do with my pet when leaving a planet? I want to keep them

[halcyon sundial]

ah nvm

had to reselect mission to register depth

[clear shadow]

Gimme a sec… PS5 is not easy to port screen shots over to >_<

[remote thunder]

don't worry, they'll just stay stored in limbo, and can resummon them on another planet via on foot quick menu/companion

you can dismiss them there too (that's not abandoning them)

[clear shadow]

Though I’ll admit I’m thinking the “0 light years traveled” and “0 Galaxies mapped” might be what it’s talking about, when I look at the screen. Can’t help those with this expedition though! 😛

[torpid swan]

thanks. I was worried that dismiss would get rid of them entirely

[spark owl]

Has anyone found a 2nd anomalous creature in the Rocangh System?

[remote thunder]

•exotic creatures: Todai 63/Z1 (hex planet, 3 life forms, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR Hijo 13/W8 (Breach 4 system Rocangh) and Dupraie T47 (webbed moon, Breach 5 system Umardag)

[spark owl]

👍

[patent sage]

Can anyone tell me how i find an infested planet for the endless hunger quest?

[remote thunder]

•hungering tendrils (worm babies): Wisbor XV (Breach 3 system Gaxaral)

[torpid swan]

btw whomever made those pins, they've been so helpful. tyty x100

[patent sage]

thank you!

[remote thunder]

@indigo falcon did 🥰

[wanton raft]

So I'm on the latst milestone of the expedition where the first step is the make and drink the elixir of water, but doing that has no affect for me. The traveler said don't drink the water. What do I actually need to do?

[remote thunder]

are you playing solo?

[wanton raft]

yes

[remote thunder]

did you make sure you had boundary guardian active?

[wanton raft]

Maybe not becuase I'm not sure what you mean.

[remote thunder]

last milestone

[wanton raft]

Oh, yes I do.

[remote thunder]

this one

with it active, drinking elixir of water will spawn boss fight

i did it on the exact same planet after breach 5

[wanton raft]

Where to you need to be? On the ground or in space or does it matter?

[remote thunder]

on the ground

[wanton raft]

Ah, I was in the ship flying.

[patent sage]

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the purple hazing effect on the screen? its really making me sick

[remote thunder]

options/accessibility/hazard overlay, try lowering that, unsure if it will help. that said, keep anomaly supressor recharged, and that purple haze should be a lot less intrusive

[wanton raft]

It doesn't matter where you are on the ground? I'm no longer at the location of the second to last milestone.

[remote thunder]

afaik it won't matter

[lusty slate]

There's a lot you can get done just in the third system, nice

[remote thunder]

yeah

since it's uncharted, dropping and claiming a base comp in there might be useful for later, if you prefer

[weak linden]

Hrm, I guess I didnt understand how things worked or smth and an MT that I got on the exp and the reward ship don't seem to have xfered out or be available to create copies of

[remote thunder]

did you start this expedition run from an existing save?

[weak linden]

yeah

[remote thunder]

are you back in primary save?

[weak linden]

yes

[remote thunder]

goto anomaly, expedition terminus: post a screenshot

[remote thunder]

create multitool, create ship

lowr right

[halcyon matrix]

Im curious about something. I was looking back in the past expedition badges in the Catalogue and Guide. And I see two first expedition badges saying "SEASON 1 NAME" Are they placeholders for something?

[weak linden]

right that's not the MT I found on a planet, nor the reward ship?

[lusty slate]

Okay, taking a break and then installing aqua jets. Bogus that a milestone doesn't give them to you.

[remote thunder]

if there was another for PIONEERS, which is expedition 1 aka season 1, then that's just a bug

[molten inlet]

well, guess I lost my egg then, tried to hatch it, didn't work and now it's gone

[remote thunder]

it's the MT and ship you had equipped when you finished expedition at the expedition terminus

@weak linden goto quicksilver shop, claim expedition rewards.

[remote thunder]

can still reload to before hatching it?

[molten inlet]

tried but it saved just after trying to hatch it

[remote thunder]

no - reload restore point

[weak linden]

Thanks, at least I can get the ship and the MT was nothing special that I found just new

[molten inlet]

i have no restore point, says no data, i just did it after going to the anomaly to finish the expedition

[remote thunder]

wdym it has no data? restore point is updated every time you exit your ship.

[midnight falcon]

Question, target sweep is showing me a location for the burial stuff, but I been digging and nothing - what do I do? I found three but thign keeps sayign to come back to that loc

[remote thunder]

that sounds that it's bugged in more ways than just the pet egg

[molten inlet]

don't know what you tell you

[remote thunder]

ignore target sweep, use visor instead, walk/fly in the same direction

[torpid swan]

how can I navigate to a specific lat/long? where is that displayed?

oh nvm I am dumb

[remote thunder]

that's bugged - i mean, you couldn't possibly have gone through the entire expedition without a restore point, without it updating it - has it always been like this?

[molten inlet]

I had one before yeah, I just notice I don't have one anymore, no idea what happened

[halcyon matrix]

Do you think it deleted the restore data when completing the expedition?

[remote thunder]

so weird

no idea what happened, maybe the pet egg did something

[molten inlet]

yep went back to my ship and out and now I have one, but can't go back before the egg thing

[midnight falcon]

My visor shows....what? I don't see the symbol that was the thing I got prev

[remote thunder]

right, was going to suggest to restart game before, but now it's just a matter of waiting for a fix/push comes to shove, you just get an egg from another player

[remote thunder]

use visor to look for "natural buried site", yellow wifi icon

[midnight falcon]

Yea I ain't seeing those, just chests and flowers

[remote thunder]

walk further

take flight, go 2000u away

move

[midnight falcon]

but every time I log out and back in, one respawns so this gonna take soem time lol

[molten inlet]

yes, thanks anyway!

[lusty slate]

Me, Switch player who can't trade. Noted about the egg.

[remote thunder]

i mean, sounds boring but to each their own i guess

[midnight falcon]

Watching a movie on the side so not too bad

[weak linden]

What are the boundary horror mandibles?

[remote thunder]

an alt helmet

[distant vine]

Do I have to use bait for the fish? Or could I get away with nothing on the hook

[remote thunder]

nothing on the hook is perfectly fine:

•anomalous fish: Tuwanl Akkan (REDACTED type, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR Tarum 95/E1 (Frozen anomaly, Breach 3 system Gaxaral)
(KNOWN BUG: log says "irradiated uncommon", this is wrong)

description must include "haunted" somewhere

rarity doesn't matter

[distant vine]

Say less, a little peace in the messed up world here is what we need

[weak linden]

Would that be a "head" on the appearance modifier?

[remote thunder]

yes

[midnight falcon]

also I think the slow/brakes on my ship don't work I have to 180 and thurst to be able to land

and thats after tapping lightly ocne or twice to get moving xD

[vast yoke]

I am annoyed. I found a derelict freighter, and I was good since I got 3 eyes in the act 3. But, I could not explore the freighter because it was giving me cold damage, and I was not able to recover from this kind of hazard damage

[remote thunder]

activate emergency heater machines spread all around derelict freighter interior

recharging anomaly suppressor would also work, but a waste imo

[vast yoke]

That's the thing, it's not working because of the expedition, lol

[remote thunder]

it worked just fine for me.

[vast yoke]

but ok, if I find another one I will try to explore

[remote thunder]

i used multiples even

used like 10 of them during my time inside

if you're on PC, disable mods

[vast yoke]

so I can use the vial?

[vast yoke]

I have no mods

[remote thunder]

you can use elixir of glass yes, but emergency heaters should really work just fine. have multiplayer enabled or something?

[vast yoke]

nah, I thought I would die there then just give up

but well, like I said. I had luck to get 3 itens related to act 4, lol

[remote thunder]

hypno eye i assume?

[vast yoke]

yep

[remote thunder]

were you able to get captains log and crew manifest?

[vast yoke]

nop, I didn't even explored the place

[remote thunder]

sounds like it was bugged. disable multiplayer before going again

[midnight falcon]

is there a new way to brake so I can land? So far my best method is crashing into stuff

[vast yoke]

ok, ty Now have to close here to play the game

[remote thunder]

if you can't just nose down and land, then there's something else going on - near lots of other player bases maybe?

[midnight falcon]

I hold back so I see bottom left in shopi the movement thing is 0 and red but can't land

I am in the middle of nowhere

[vast yoke]

press the reverse button/key (s if using keyboard)

[vast yoke]

it is a mountain?

[midnight falcon]

thats what I am doing but I have to do shenanigans to land

flat but I get no message about going too fast

nothing happens

[remote thunder]

i mean that sounds like you're trying to land somewhere that the game isn't loading

just goto space again

and fly back down again

slower.

don't approach boosting.

[midnight falcon]

I been testing

I tap twice to move

its a snail pace

[vast yoke]

anyway, back to game

[midnight falcon]

I fly for 30 or so seconds at that speed on flat ground, hold back and try to land

[remote thunder]

you're trying to land somewhere that the game isn't loading

[midnight falcon]

nothing happens

[remote thunder]

some bug

doesn't matter

restart

reload

something

[remote thunder]

i had to land 1000u away from rdv5

because it wouldn't let me land

🤷‍♂️

[quartz mauve]

Where can you find storm crystals after the 1st portal?!

[remote thunder]

•storm crystals: Urston planet (Breach 2 system: Temeferi X) (and others)

[midnight falcon]

I had to fly into space and back down

for them to show up

[quartz mauve]

thats literally what I need to progress from 2nd to 3rd system

[random canopy]

So I made a new save to do the expedition, and completed it yesterday. Is there a reason to do it again on an existing (main) save? Like can't you get more than 1 copy of the reward ship this way?

As in, more than 1 copy on the same save file. I can claim it at the end, and also "buy" it at the anomaly again on the same save?

[remote thunder]

Like can't you get more than 1 copy of the reward ship this way?
yes, but no point

this ship isnt' like iron vulture

[random canopy]

I missed this expedition unfortunately. By that do you mean how the Iron Vulture has salvageable parts, so you could technically dupe and customize multiple different ships with its parts?

[remote thunder]

correct

[random canopy]

I wish we could paint this new ship lol. Regardless, it handles like a literal dream and I love it.

[cerulean olive]

That expedition will probably be redux'd soon.

[ashen shore]

I can't wait for the adrift re run
Love haulers and want the colour black too

[random canopy]

I'm gonna have to learn how to dupe, i wanna make more than 1 build with Iron Vulture stuff. Hopefully reruns happen soon

[cerulean olive]

Adrift isn't only nice for the Iron Vulture, but also for the 2 paint shaders.

[ashen shore]

The only thing I don't think would get rerun is the current expo
Seems like a special 2 week event

[vast yoke]

I will dinner now, but I was entering the freighter, then I said to my wife:
"I can't save now, so I will finish here, then we can watch anime" (we watch stuff together while eating)
NMS: nop. (Soon I entered the freighter I glitched through the floor, lol)

[remote thunder]

i always save+exit my game in space stations

imo, no safer place.

[cerulean olive]

Maybe next year's Halloween again.

[unkempt laurel]

Where is exotic planet

[remote thunder]

•exotic creatures: Todai 63/Z1 (hex planet, 3 life forms, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR Hijo 13/W8 (Breach 4 system) and Dupraie T47 (webbed moon, Breach 5 system Umardag)

[ashen shore]

System 3 is a nice trick lol
New players will be like hold on wait a min how I get back

[quick tusk]

Ok the fish quest …faak

[cerulean olive]

Just finished phase 1,2,3 and half of 4 on Switch speed run. And now the battery is dead 😂

[remote thunder]

•anomalous fish: Tuwanl Akkan (REDACTED type, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR Tarum 95/E1 (Frozen anomaly, Breach 3 system Gaxaral)

[unkempt laurel]

Uhh

What

[remote thunder]

honest question: what's so hard to understand about it? feel free to ask again.

[vast yoke]

ok, since someone complained about not having a space station in phase 3, my recommendation is: Creat a base somewhere in the third system

[unkempt laurel]

Breach 3

[remote thunder]

look at your milestones: what phase are you on

[vast yoke]

(to be honest, I am creating a base in each system)

[unkempt laurel]

Im on phase 4

[remote thunder]

breach 3 planet was in the previous phase.

[unkempt laurel]

Ohh i get it

Alright thanks i seen the planet

[remote thunder]

find a portal, dial the address <#nms-expedition message>

[unkempt laurel]

Man u such a nice guy

[deft lichen]

do storm crystals show up on the overviews of planets

[remote thunder]

no

@deft lichen

<:info:850810445577453658> How to get Storm Crystals

Storm Crystals can be obtained from extreme hazard planets. Extreme hazard planets have Activated <Stellar Metal> (e.g. Activated Copper) in their resource list.

Exception: Lush biome planets (Star Bulb on resource list) do not spawn Storm Crystals.

Land, and start looking for the nearest Storm Crystal spawn. They will be scattered across the landscape.

Storm Crystals can only be interacted with and harvested during an extreme storm, but are easy to spot, and the on foot visor can assist as well.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[deft lichen]

cool, ty

[vast yoke]

about the cristals. I was in a planet with storms and not a extreme storm, lol

[remote thunder]

•storm crystals: Urston planet (Breach 2 system: Temeferi X

[quartz mauve]

yeah I went to every planet but ima keep looking next time I play

ill keep in mind the activated elements inticate extrene storms

[cerulean olive]

Went to this planet in breach 2 for storm crystals and bones.

[quick tusk]

!fish

[cerulean olive]

Horrible vision, though

[remote thunder]

thats a lush biome

it shouldnt have storm crystals

[cerulean olive]

It does.

[deft lichen]

pics?

[remote thunder]

to get storm crystals, planet must have EXTREME above "hazard prot" bar at all times

[cerulean olive]

Very hard to spot in that weather, though

[remote thunder]

show me.

show me the visor, with a storm crystal icon.

[cerulean olive]

Didn't make a screenshot of it, but will do when I do a run on Mac. I'm past this stage on PS5 and Switch already.

[trail iron]

mgiht be a marsh

[remote thunder]

if that's a lush biome as i look at it and see that grass type, that's a lush

[remote thunder]

Ecorsfi is a breach planet - no breach planet was swamp iirc

[deft lichen]

weird, urston doesn't seem to have storm crystals

[torpid swan]

wow I can see why people hate the corrupted quads step

[deft lichen]

maybe i just need to look somewhere else

[remote thunder]

is it a scorched biome?

there will be a radiation biome on that system too iirc

[deft lichen]

says it's tropical for me

[ashen shore]

Shoot the ones guarding the towers from your ship way easier than fighting the waves

[remote thunder]

what resources on the list?

[trail iron]

i think one was a rpical/marsh

[deft lichen]

copper parafinium cobalt and vile brood

[remote thunder]

no act copper

no storm crystals

[vivid chasm]

Btw, anyone know where to get the 2nd exotic creature? I already scanned one creature at the planet of light in the Phase 4 system

[remote thunder]

that's a swamp btw

[deft lichen]

plant doggy on the second breach planet

[remote thunder]

Dupraie T47 (webbed moon, Breach 5 system Umardag)
move on, complete it in the next system

[cerulean olive]

Hmmm, I might have mixed up with another bad vision planet, then. Could well be...

[quick tusk]

Do I need to do anything special to get these fish?

[cerulean olive]

Just fish.

Nothing special

[remote thunder]

just fish, "haunted" in description, rarity doesn't matter

@quick tusk megaexotic planets ofc

[remote thunder]

sorry, you might be right, at least i've got a screenshot here using a portal on what looks to be a swamp

but Rucand isn't on the list

weird.

[shy spoke]

Any one can give me a planet address for the phase 3 system? I travelled out and I have no option to go back to the space station there and the portals don't react to having the blood in the inventory.

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message> pinned here

[shy spoke]

thanks

[unkempt laurel]

Whats breach 3s glyphs

[quick tusk]

Gaze into the stars for 60secs huh??

[remote thunder]

see link 2 posts above you

[cerulean olive]

Just look into the sky

[remote thunder]

goto space to refill anomaly supressor, goto planet night side, dive right in the middle of it, then look up and watch hint counter rise

cannot be storming

[deft lichen]

NVM URSTON DOES HAVE STORM CRYSTALS I JUST LANDED ON THE WRONG PLANET

[quick tusk]

alright

[remote thunder]

huh? has copper, but has storm crystals? you sure about that? aim visor at the sky, what do you see on resource list?

[remote thunder]

ah.

has act copper.

[deft lichen]

yeah i just landed on the wrong planet because from where i was, they were all packed real close together

[rigid yoke]

Anybody got coordinates for a good spot to complete the In Deep Water milestone?

[quick tusk]

Which one ?

Or does it not matter

[remote thunder]

goto space, find any planet with water - make sure you've got launch thruster fuel - aim at the spot in the middle of the biggest water body you can see (pulse around the planet if needed to check), and then find an island; land, and stay afloat at water

[remote thunder]

doesn't matter

[cerulean olive]

Frankly, I didn't bother looking for depth. I just dug a deep enough hole and resurfaced to get the milestone done.

[remote thunder]

i didn't even look

literally

just aim at the middle of the biggest water body

and if it's 60+ u deep

it will start counting

look at the milestone hint

[cerulean olive]

I landed on a beach and started digging at the edge.

[remote thunder]

too cheesy for me

[cerulean olive]

Beats looking for a spot 😂

[remote thunder]

that's my point

i didn't

[cerulean olive]

I did on PS5, but did it the easy way on Switch.

[remote thunder]

there's too many deep spots for me to think of the easy way

for me this was the easy way basically

first thing that came to mind really

[cerulean olive]

I didn't want to be too far off my ship.

[remote thunder]

i wasn't - my ship was parked 10u from me lol

some island in the middle of nowhere

one of those jagged cutoffs that goes underwater

easy 75u deep

[wanton raft]

The only milestone I have left now is the Metal Bone Derelict Freighter one. Have people tried freighters in the different system too see which is good?

[cerulean olive]

Oh well, it depends on where you are on a planet. Digging a hole felt the easiest for me

[remote thunder]

starter system only jellyfish tons of lootables

[cerulean olive]

Can't remember which system I did that one in, but mine had loads of slime to refine to nanites.

[remote thunder]

scan in first room lol

[wanton raft]

Good. That's the system I'm standing in ... and this is my PS4 ... so that makes several minutes difference. LOL

[cerulean olive]

9 zones? Nice. I only got 8.

[remote thunder]

i got out with storm crystals, hypno eyes (did that milestone here), 300+ tainted metal, bunch of other stuff that i didn't bother to keep, nanites

larval and hadal cores too yeah, refined those

[cerulean olive]

Got 2 hypnotic eyes from mine, loads of credits, nanites and about 400 tainted metals.

[remote thunder]

oh yeah some units too

[quick tusk]

What is this ship?! I’ve never seen this type before

[remote thunder]

solar sail

[quick tusk]

Looks like a mini sailboat

[remote thunder]

type really common in outlaw systems

[quick tusk]

It looks way too small

[remote thunder]

ah that's bugged

from another player, right?

[cerulean olive]

Can be scrapped for parts to craft a custom ship

[remote thunder]

yeah that happens sometimes

[quick tusk]

Yes

[remote thunder]

harmless

@quick tusk serious advice: never exit a ship that let you enter it "just like that", without claiming it or paying for it first: immediately pause, options, reload restore point.

[ashen shore]

The fact you can scrap it means it's either a bug or new ship type coming

[remote thunder]

no, that's been in the game for a bit

possible to build fighter, explorer, hauler and solar

[ashen shore]

You can scrap the new ship for parts and ti gives you the part but it sont actually give you it

It

[quick tusk]

That’s…that’s actually a good point..because I just purchased a ship

[remote thunder]

worlds part 1 added that, solar sail building

[cerulean olive]

Solar ships can be fabricated for some time now

[ashen shore]

I thought we were talking about the millennium falcon ship

My bad

[cerulean olive]

I wasn't refering to the new ship.

The Temu Millenium Falcon, lol

[remote thunder]

love the ship, i really do.

[wintry void]

Thats cause its classed as an explorer, but it doesn't have normal explorer parts, so no parts to give

[ashen shore]

Ahh

[woeful niche]

Is Wisbor Xv the only easily reachable planet with worms?

[remote thunder]

yes

[woeful niche]

Ugh. I hate the place

[cerulean olive]

Use your ship to kill the tendrils so you won't have to deal with the spawning horrors as well

[obtuse shell]

Is the worms you refer to those of the quest in Phase3. I just got to phase3's first two quests before logging off for the day and havnt left the planet yet

[remote thunder]

@woeful niche there's a bunch of milestones that can be done in this system, see <#nms-expedition message>. as it's an uncharted system, might be best to drop and claim a base computer here, just in case you wanted to return later.

[vast yacht]

I'm on an anomaly plant but can't get the anomalous fish, I've tried multiple times. Any tips?

[woeful niche]

Tried with the ship but it is always storming so I can hardly see.

[torpid swan]

should I keep this for planting or just sell?

[obtuse shell]

I heard there was a specific one that was really good. Hey who knows which one that was?

[remote thunder]

hungering tendrils, milestone 2 from phase 3, correct

[obtuse shell]

Thx, saving the planet name in a note on my desktop :D

[woeful niche]

That is what I am taling about, yse

[remote thunder]

does the planet have phosphorus, ammonia or dioxite in resource list, but no plant resource on the resource list?

[quick tusk]

Let’s goo phase 3 finish—just two more to go cuh 😭

[remote thunder]

sell

[cerulean olive]

I use cockpit view, scan the place and follow the red icon. It wasn't storming when I was there, though.

[obtuse shell]

Well, good night everyone. Have tons of fun

[torpid swan]

ty

[remote thunder]

one word of caution: i tried this, and found really easy to get stuck. to an extreme, it might be possible to die there.

[woeful niche]

Cockpit view? I don't remember that

[remote thunder]

(i always use cockpit view btw)

[remote thunder]

good night, sleep well

[cerulean olive]

Didn't have a bit of trouble at all.

[remote thunder]

probably due to location ofc, but yeah, i kept getting stuck in the flora i think; and at some point, i did start taking more and more damage that was starting to make me wonder if i was going to be able to get out of there.

[cerulean olive]

I used the Starborn Runner for the job. Hover is a good friend.

[remote thunder]

ah.

was just about to

"did you bring in a ship"

because without hovering

[cerulean olive]

Lol

[remote thunder]

that strategy

[cerulean olive]

Without hovering, it's horrible

[remote thunder]

doesn't really work all that well like you're saying

so probably best to state that.

not everyone will be using a ship with hovering.

just keep it in mind

[cerulean olive]

I always use the Starborn Runner now. Hovering above the surface, shooting the surface for easy resource farming.

[remote thunder]

without hovering, it will be a lot more about location i can tell you

[remote thunder]

well ftr sentinels can hover too, and iron vulture/haulers built with iron vulture wings can too

[cerulean olive]

Of course, you are right, but the Starborn is much easier to obtain.

[remote thunder]

yeah, definitely ofc

[cerulean olive]

Once you get anomaly access, you can claim the starborn runner for free.

Iron vulture too, but I like my ships sleek 😄

[wanton raft]

Can't remember where the scrap dealer is in the new station layout.

[remote thunder]

i love runner's sfx, and i love boundary herald's sfx too - they're similar i think!

[cerulean olive]

I was hoping that the new ship could hover too, but alas, it doesn't.

[remote thunder]

in the back, below the staircase

rightof appearance modifier

[wanton raft]

thx

[torpid swan]

starborn is from a previous expedition right?

[cerulean olive]

I think of about 4 expeditions ago.

[torpid swan]

welp

[novel umbra]

How do I get the new ship on my primary save 🤔 did I fuck up already. Just finished the expedition

[cerulean olive]

Claim ot at the Quick Silver vendor at the anomaly

[novel umbra]

Bet

[remote thunder]

exp12 reward, which will most likely be rerun later this year

[torpid swan]

ty

[halcyon sundial]

finished the expedition

that was a nice quick one

[cerulean olive]

And no nasty bugs neither. At least, not for me.

[remote thunder]

same, was pretty smooth sailing once i understood the anomaly supressor thingy

my first run though was terrible

spawned in the middle of nowhere

no islands nearby

swimming/underwater nothing useful since no dust

[cerulean olive]

How many runs have you done so far?

[remote thunder]

2

[cerulean olive]

I'm on my second now and will do a 3rd on Mac.

[remote thunder]

i started another save today

[wanton raft]

Not that I'm trying to cheap out of the derelict freighter info, but I seem to recall that there was a way to get free derelict info every so often. Was it tied to having a freighter or something?

[remote thunder]

after your first derelict mission in a save, helios gives 1 free ESS per week

[halcyon sundial]

the only issue I ran into was the expedition not acknowledging certain items in my inventory

[cerulean olive]

Did a run on PS5 yesterday, Switch almost done today and I'll do a run on Mac next week.

[halcyon sundial]

also apparently derelict freighter turrets have some issues

[remote thunder]

hmm, what system was this in?

DF i ran only had jellyfish

[cerulean olive]

I had some turrets and shot them. No issues at all. I think I did the DF in breach 4.

[remote thunder]

i'm usually taking the stealthy approach

anyways

have fun

//afk

[cerulean olive]

You too.

[remote thunder]

😪

[tepid grove]

How easy will the corrupted quad thing be

[fluid vault]

oh yeah they weren't really aiming at me very well when i was finishing up that part

[unkempt laurel]

Corrupt quadruped

[tepid grove]

ye

[halcyon sundial]

moew like.... pointing in a direction not yours and shooting harmlessly

[unkempt laurel]

They on the purple planet?

My multi tool is so weeak

[tepid grove]

the mission

[unkempt laurel]

They are strong

[fluid vault]

so... that one is a bit of a pain, unless you have gone through the trouble of significantly upgrading your personal shields and multitool

[tepid grove]

oof

[unkempt laurel]

Yea

I almost died

[tepid grove]

at least its not permadeath

on expeditions

[fluid vault]

that, plus the horrors attacking if you don't keep hazard protection up, makes it pretty dangerous

easy to get overwhelmed by a bunch of corrupted and squids coming at you at once if you aren't careful

[fluid vault]

i recommend getting the paralysis mortar (?) at least, so you can make the enemies easier and less threatening to pick off

[unkempt laurel]

I hate the guys that keep healing them

[halcyon sundial]

huh

maybe I went ham and beat em up

[torpid swan]

I did it with a semi-upgraded pulse spitter, make sure to burn down the healbots first if you can't burn through their healing to drop the quads

[tepid grove]

I have the atlas tool

[halcyon sundial]

I did get beat up. but I knocked out enough to get a sentinel signal

[tepid grove]

has a par. mortar

[cerulean olive]

I used my Starborn Runner.

[tepid grove]

should I get a sentinel ship if I can

or is that unnedded

wow I failed at typing

[cerulean olive]

Depends on if you have a Starborn Runner or the Iron Vulture.

Both expedition reward ships that can hover, like a sentinel ship.

[tepid grove]

I have both

not claimed tho

[cerulean olive]

If you need it for the hover feature, those 2 ships are much easier to obtain.

[civic forge]

What is the mats needed to create deuterium?

[brisk lintel]

I’ve been jumped by squids non stop today and I have yet to find 4 fish.

[distant vine]

Any way to quickly get tainted metal rather then just looting busted freighters

[neon osprey]

which planet in phase 5 is the exotic planet?

[wintry void]

Checked the pins?

Webbed moon

[rose veldt]

1 freighter.. Sell the logs.. Result : 800 or more if you collected all logs

(and collect every chest in the freighter)

[somber lichen]

I'm at the second portal, I have the second blood elixer, but it's not giving me a special dialog to use it?

[neon osprey]

😂 ill be honest i glazed over the webbed planet...

any tips on finding the ruins?

[wintry void]

Alien charts from cartographer at station

[halcyon sundial]

Yeah those count as well

[wintry void]

I wonder if all these people having issues with blood potions are on same platform. I've completed on both steam and ps5 without issue

[woeful niche]

Hover ftw. ty

[neon osprey]

easiest way to get navigation data in expedition? kinda sold the nagivation data i had from a previous milestone reward 😂

[ashen shore]

Save towers

[cerulean olive]

Might be some in those blue or orange cubes at the space station.

[wintry void]

Find a poi on a planet, and click on the save flag thing

I was lucky to find some of those red cubes on a planet so had loads

[cerulean olive]

Steam on PC? How does it look? I have Steam for Mac, but it has the looks of the PS4 version.
The PS5 version looks so much better and smoother.

[wintry void]

I prefer ps5 version cause of HDR, but I play steam for mods etc

I like synaptic feedback on ps5 also

[cerulean olive]

I main the game on PS5, and Mac for save editing.

And Switch for lazy in bed gaming,

Does the steam pc version not have 4K HDR?

👀

[wintry void]

Dunno i play on gaming laptop

Off topic anyway for channel

[hazy sparrow]

I have never liked HDR, everything has a yellowish, "warm" tint to me. I leave my Apple TV on Dolby Vision, and turn HDR on my monitor off.

[unkempt laurel]

Alien ruins where

[cerulean olive]

Buy charts at the space station cartographer to find alien ruins.

[wanton raft]

I sucked all ten levels of that damn derelict dry and only got 107 tainted metal! Does that mean I need to do another derelict? At this rate I'll need to do two more.

[void cairn]

How long does this expedition take to complete?

[unkempt laurel]

Thanks bro

[cerulean olive]

That's a pretty low count. Selling the captain's log at the scrap dealer might get you enough to get the milestone done, though.

[wanton raft]

Ah, yeah. You sell them back to the scrap guy right?

[cerulean olive]

Right

[cerulean olive]

Depends. Could be done in 4'ish hours or take a long day gaming.

[cerulean olive]

The charts you want have the reddish background color on them.

[void cairn]

Thanks

[shadow pivot]

Am I missing something or does the starter system not have copper in it?

[wintry void]

Cadmium refines to chromium metal

[cerulean olive]

Not that I know of. But if you need to refine chromatic metal, dig for cadmium.

[shadow pivot]

Oh derp. I remember now.

Been a minute since I played NMS

[wanton raft]

Not on a PS4 with a spinning disk! 😉 My PC run through will be much much faster!

[hardy bane]

I missed expedition 15 because I was moving, does anybody have the text to paste into the game files for the rewards?

[wanton raft]

The selling of the two logs to the scrap dealer did complete the milestone and in fact the whole expedition for me.

I'll take a couple days off before starting it on the PC I think.

[quick tusk]

Anyone understand the derelict freighter quest ?

[wanton raft]

You go to the scrap dealer in the station and play 5 mil for a ticket to a freighter then go and loot it.

If you get all the tainted metal in the freighter and then sell the two logs you get back to the scrap dealer at the end you'll have enough tained metal to complete it.

The freighter in the first system was totally easy. Some are much harder.

[loud surge]

What bait/planet should I be using for anomalous fish?

I'm at Phase 3

[quick tusk]

5mil ???!

[wanton raft]

I did the fishing in the third system. I'll check to see which planet I did it on ...

[alpine topaz]

whats the best way to get Nanites?

i tried scanning all the fauna

but i cant find the rare underwater fauna

[wanton raft]

Oh, it was the disonant planet in that system.

[loud surge]

Gotcha

[wanton raft]

I made a glass bottom fishing base there, but I'm not sure you'll see it. I did it on PS4. Sometimes you see the PS4 bases on the PC and sometimes not.

I'm going to do the it on the PC in the next few days.

It will got much faster!

[unkempt laurel]

Wheres the voice of glass

[wanton raft]

The Boundary Herald ship looks like a NMS+StarWars+WarHammer ship.

[loud spire]

hello huys where can i ask questions about the new expedition ?

[wanton raft]

Here

[loud spire]

okay so i'm stuck on a quest i don't know what to do

[wanton raft]

Which one?

[loud spire]

part 4 quest 3 of the new expedition

i need to seek for wildlife

on exotic planets

[wanton raft]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Biome_-_Exotic

Once you get to one of those, just scan for the animals like usual. One exotic has three on it as a recall.

There should be one on the fourth system.

May be that one with the three on it.

[loud spire]

strange...

[spring bone]

Phase 4 mission 3: genetic glitch - my system does have a exotic planet but it only has one creature. I cant return to my previous system through the portal. How am I supposed to get the second creature?

[wanton raft]

If you get all three on that planet, don't forget the pick up the 750 nanites bonus for it!

[loud spire]

yeah same for me 😦

i got one from the light planet but that's it

[wanton raft]

Most exotic planets have only one.

[spring bone]

I dont have another exotic planet

[wanton raft]

There is one with three though on one of these systems.

[fluid vault]

@spring bone #nms-expedition message

[spring bone]

yeah, the last system i was in but i cant get back to it

[distant vine]

Easier way to eliminate the quads other than gunning them down?

[haughty cedar]

Floating on water is not possible in VR!?!

[wanton raft]

Oh yeah the third system doesn't have a station! When I saw that, I make a base to get back.

[fluid vault]

that post has a list of places you can find the things you need, and you can get back either by entering the portal address, warping to a space station in the system you want (if you landed on it previously), warping to a base in a previous system, (...)

be sure to check the pins, as there's also a list of portal addresses for each rendezvous

[ashen shore]

Find the ones guarding the towers is the easiest way

[smoky drift]

how many inventory slots do i need for this?

god i love how buggy this game is lol

i have two of these ships now

[loud spire]

so just to be sure ? for the fauna quest i just need to put a portal code ?

[steep shale]

Never fished before.
Should I be using a particular bait?

[torpid swan]

I just used whatever I caught. Local bait works irl 🙂

I think you get some storm bait as a reward somewhere

[distant vine]

Thanks mate, finally entering breach 5

Also halfway done with it before going on

[ashen shore]

Hell yeah

[distant vine]

Just gotta make the blood, jump the portal and drink the water I think

[unkempt laurel]

Finished the expedition

Finally

[loud spire]

gg ! still locked here 😔

[tawdry crypt]

Soooo question do any of the bases created on expedition transfer after completion of the expedition if the expedition was started on my main save?

[frozen laurel]

Yes

[tawdry crypt]

Awesome!! I was worried they wouldn’t

I didn’t make a new save for this expedition

I used my main save

[distant vine]

Do I claim the rewards now or when I switch back

[smoky drift]

how do i wear the cthulu head?

[distant vine]

It’s at the character customization machine

[smoky drift]

im afraid idk where thats at

[distant vine]

Space stations

Go straight back on the right side

[smoky drift]

not this thing?

[distant vine]

Should be that

[cerulean olive]

Depending on the race you’ve chosen, it should be a selectable head.

[smoky drift]

that could be why i dont see it. its not an option for traveller.

[ashen shore]

What if your a anomaly because somehow you got back into regular space 🤔 Holy heck

[vast yacht]

Where to find exotic animals? How to know which is the right planet?

[torpid swan]

ok, anything I should do before I drink the water?

[distant vine]

Make sure you have enough projectile ammo

[shy bone]

can they add a restart button to the expedition it's starting to piss me off I'm trying to select better stuff and it won't let me

[torpid swan]

will modules fitted on the ships be transferred back to the main save, or not?

[frail tusk]

How long does the expedition take roughly?

[undone sonnet]

is there a planet in the system for Phase 4 that has deep enough oceans for In Deep Water ?

[wraith junco]

It Depends on pace and knowledge about the game. I did it them in around 8h

[frail tusk]

damn

[wraith junco]

U can dig in bottom to reach desired depth

[mossy spruce]

I'm at the end of my rope here.

My friend and I have spent 2 hours trying to find these ancient ruins for phase 5. We've tried searching around the planets. We've tried using our nav data to buy the charts needed. We've tried spamming the charts until it gives the type we're looking for. And the one time we found one that should have counted, some jackass built a base around it to block it off, and now our nav data keeps going to that one ruin.

[loud surge]

You can report bases to remove it

[steep shale]

Do I need all this reward stuff?
"Trunk of Dormant Beetles"
"Invisible Thistles"
"Hadal Core"

[loud surge]

Sell 'em

I think that's why we were given them, so you can do a later objective that costs 5m units

I had 12 spare lightning things so I sold those and all my treasure (the underground stuff)

[meager scroll]

Quick question for those who finished exped and have the new head customisation

Is it true that you can not apply colours to it in appearance modifier?

[wraith junco]

True for me

[indigo falcon]

many player reports that it won't take colours, we don't know if that is intended or not

[finite harbor]

where tf do you go for the second rendezvous point

What glyphs do I put into the portal

[indigo falcon]

you can go to another planet and use the maps there as well

[hushed lava]

i've got 7 more of the sentinel spiders to kill

[twilit moss]

#nms-expedition message

[mossy spruce]

It takes me back to that same one

[indigo falcon]

do not enter glyphs. make the blood elixir the portal needs. have the milestone pinned first. then when you interact with the portal, it should give you a different dialogue and first option

[indigo falcon]

oh, you can't clear the marker? right, report the base via quick menu so you can get close enough to clear the marker, once it's gone you can carry on

quick menu rport doesn't require you to get to the basecomputer(s)

[mossy spruce]

I did get rid of it, but every chart I use goes to that same one anyway

I managed to find one just randomly flying around, but this is painful.

[indigo falcon]

I would go via space station to a previous system and use the maps there, then come back to the current one via space station tp and continue on

[hushed lava]

i have the worst weapon for the job

[mossy spruce]

Yeah I'll have to do that.

I'm just disappointed that after everything else that we've done for the expedition, THIS is what sits at the end of it.

[indigo falcon]

a tiny but persistent part of the player base that just wants attention in any crappy way possible... it's frustrating, at least those people are few and far between

hope the rest of your journey is better!

[mossy spruce]

Thank you!

[meager scroll]

Alright thanks for confirming, I can say with 95% confidence it is supposed to be customisable, it's just that HG made a "I forgor 💀" type scenario

[finite harbor]

bro I entered in the portal address to get to part 3 of the expedition

And it won't give me the last reward of the second phase

[cyan pollen]

Is there a way to get my multitool from my Main save

[indigo falcon]

to get the milestone, you must use the blood elixir at the portal, it's the only way

[finite harbor]

Didn't give me the option

[indigo falcon]

if you started the expedition from your main save, then yes, go to the Anomaly terminal once you are able to summon it in, and make a copy of the mt, costs 2.2k nanites for an S class one

[indigo falcon]

you need to have the milestone selected, make sure there's no blood elixirs of any other type in the inventory, interact with the portal

some players have reported that if their inv has no blood elixirs and they make the right one at the portal, it works

sometimes players have had to go to a different planet and find a new portal

it's very fidgety

[teal socket]

yeah, think they should've done the elixir system differently. did this expedition twice but the first time, I made more than one blood elixir thinking I'd need multiple like the Glass Elixir.

[dusky oracle]

how do I increase my MT damage?

[indigo falcon]

put the weapon tech in a supercharged slot if available; put upgrades for it in other supercharged slots if those are visible; if not, put them right next to the weapons tech so they touch, this will help

you are given eventually a pulse spitter and various upgrades. (3 S and the two buildable tech ones)

if you prefer another weapon type, you could go to the Anomaly and buy that for nanites, then go through the grind of getting the upgrades for it.

[dusky oracle]

gotcha thx @indigo falcon

[neon shoal]

is this the old UI?
if so, I wish we could have that one instead

[mental saddle]

For beginners, if you want to have nanites from this expedition in a legit manner, find relics

It's a pretty good way

200~ish per relic is pretty good

[neon shoal]

you can also use the Salvage Data method
just get some stacks of it and refine

[wraith junco]

15 nanites per salvaged data. I dont think its profitable. Imo better sell for units.

Better refine worm loot for nanites

Or radiant crystals

[indigo falcon]

in breach system 3 a dissonant world is available, radiant shards refine for50 nanites each

I think i's in 3 anyways

[loud surge]

How do I do the ruins objective? I keep getting a bunch of other structures

[loud surge]

5 mirrors also convert to 475 nanites

*inverted mirror

95 each

[indigo falcon]

buy 5 maps for nav data from the cartographer; go to th eplanet of your choice and open 3, spam through any errors. now you have all three site types marked. go only to the 'monolith' type, then open a new map, spam through errors, go to the new marked thing... etc

[loud surge]

Oh

[indigo falcon]

just might be slower than finding radiant shards which, you throw a rock you probably hit one. but yep

[loud surge]

How many maps should I buy

[loud surge]

You get given 5 mirrors from smth

[indigo falcon]

I woul buy 5 (leaves room for a mistake)

[loud surge]

:(

[indigo falcon]

oh yeah one of the milestones indeed.

[loud surge]

Okie dokie

[viral depot]

What system is rendevous 3 at?

[indigo falcon]

see pins in here, one lists all systems, names, glyphs, etc...

[viral depot]

I did

Its only saying the planets not the system

[indigo falcon]

it does

[viral depot]

I need to know what system exotic creatures are at

[loud surge]

Are you in the game atm?

[indigo falcon]

galaxy, syst, planet. it says all of those.

also there is a "where to go" pin which says where to find those creatures

[loud surge]

If you are in the game, go through your Discovery and find the planet :/

[viral depot]

Its not there

Im leaving you guys arent helpful

[indigo falcon]

Breach 3
System: Gaxaral
Planet: Tarum 95/E1

from the pin.

•exotic creatures: Todai 63/Z1 (hex planet, 3 life forms, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR:
Hijo 13/W8 (Breach 4 system) and Dupraie T47 (webbed moon, Breach 5 system Umardag)

from the other pin.

[loud surge]

And I just found it in my Discovery

You have no Hyperdrive so there are barely any systems to sort through

[finite harbor]

In phase 4 what other planet has an exotic animal

[loud surge]

Planet of Light

[indigo falcon]

scroll up a little, the info is in two messages up on where to find them

[finite harbor]

It only has 1

oh

whoops

[indigo falcon]

in general check the pins in here, they have a bunch of info that can be helpful

(and then share it around so other players can get easy help too)

[hushed lava]

having to find and kill the arachnids is pure agony

[indigo falcon]

that's probably the slowest milestone in the expedition (if you don't get soft-locked on a portal)

[hushed lava]

very slow, especially with the weapon i have, the reload time throws me off

[waxen mirage]

discover two exotic creatures? Any idea?

[indigo falcon]

see pin in this channel "where to go" for those

[ashen shore]

Anybody find this on the second starbase?

it ws C lass but i suped it up

[indigo falcon]

nice find!

[ashen shore]

not the best dps but handy XD

[waxen mirage]

thx

[gaunt path]

Stupid question- u guys know an easy way to take out the corrupt quadrupeds? They keep getting healed before they get destroyed its getting really frustrating…

[native bloom]

Anyone commented that the suit initialization audio says "atlas suit" instead of the normal "suit"?

[gaunt path]

I’m using the gear provided by the quest btw-

[wraith junco]

Upgrade weapon and instal paralisis mortar.

[indigo falcon]

paralysis mortar can stun the healer, then wham blam the quad

[wraith junco]

Damn now i have to start new exp and normal saves and check if there is a diffrence

[gaunt path]

Thank u guys- I’ll give it a shot..

Pun not intended-

[finite rover]

i'd just like to say that ghost-squid are irritating as snot.

[waxen mirage]

Any way to lock the hint displayer on the lower right corner

[silent knot]

nope

[waxen mirage]

Any shortcut to display it ?

[silent knot]

H on keyboard cycles the hints

[waxen mirage]

Thx

[stark shadow]

im doing the stone ghosts and i just cant find an alien ruin with the signal booster is it even possible

[shrewd coral]

Afraid I'm missing something; how do you get the elixir recipes? It didn't appear when going in the building at the start.

[hushed lava]

i finally completed it

[indigo falcon]

use maps for alien artifact structures from the cartographer, buy 5, spam 3, go only to the monolith one, spam another, etc.

[stark shadow]

ok ty

[loud surge]

Expedition completed!

[indigo falcon]

the elixir of glass recipe isn't available to you even after interacting with the terminal in the building and claiming the milestone "seek shelter"?

[loud surge]

[shrewd coral]

Correct.

[loud surge]

Well if it's that early you could restart

[shrewd coral]

this is on a new save already, my second one on this exp, for this same issue

[loud surge]

Ah

[shrewd coral]

Unsure what's gone wrong

[loud surge]

I think you might be missing something then

[indigo falcon]

mp off, save-exit-reload doesn't help, you have the items in the inv that could be used to craft it? just trying to cover all the bases

[loud surge]

Open space in inventory -> click flashing box -> pin recipe

[indigo falcon]

what did the first milestone give you as for rewards?

[shrewd coral]

I don't know what's needed to craft it, there is no recipe to pin.

[loud surge]

Hmm

[indigo falcon]

40 dihy, 10 shattered qualia (those are from killling the squiddies)

[shrewd coral]

ah, yes present in inventory then

[indigo falcon]

and mp is off?

[shrewd coral]

aye

[indigo falcon]

platform?

[shrewd coral]

only got these from it.

[shrewd coral]

PC, windows, steam

[indigo falcon]

uh wow that is really wrong

[shrewd coral]

fascinating

[indigo falcon]

last ditch effort: any mods?

there is no hyperdrive on this expd, so that's just wrong in a bunch of ways....

[shrewd coral]

normally yes, though i only have ones updated for this specific version on

[indigo falcon]

new save, no mods at all, make double sure

then try again

[shrewd coral]

and even then it's mostly graphics stuff, which you would certainly think wouldn't mess with it, but alas

[indigo falcon]

you wouldn't think. however....

let us know what happens please

[shrewd coral]

relaunching vanilla, will make a new save, if it's still weird then... well, it really wants me to have a hyperdrive, i guess?

[indigo falcon]

no, you should get 0 of those rewards and only the elixir recipe

[shrewd coral]

wild

[hushed lava]

the ship is cool, typical ufo millenium falcon vibe

[shrewd coral]

yeah i had moused over every single possible task to see if ANY gave elixirs, none do on that save or the prior one

[indigo falcon]

I wonder what they o give

also please check version: what's the build number in the lower left on the splash screen?

[shrewd coral]

Should be latest, can't see because I'm loading already

downloaded yesterdays patch already

[indigo falcon]

ok no worries, let's see how mod free is

(good good)

the milestones and rewards are listed in a pin in here, it's easy to check and see if what you have matches up

[gaunt path]

I GOT ONE! AHAHAHAHAHJFFJ

||shush im naturally a sniper I hate close combat-||

Three Seven more to go… why do I play this game

[shrewd coral]

great news, it's still giving me a hyperdrive lmao

[indigo falcon]

uuggghhh

uninstall/reinstall after backing up other save files

[shrewd coral]

The terrain is also completely different, whereas the last two saves had the exact same location as my spawn, which is odd

[indigo falcon]

you should generally get a different spawn point each time

[shrewd coral]

Extra weird that I had the same one twice then, huh

[indigo falcon]

yup

[lethal path]

sorry, I have a question, haven't done expeditions before. Where do I find it, in the Nexus, or...?

[shrewd coral]

It's near the parking lot area of the nexus, to the left of quicksilver synthesis companion

Little interactable terminal behind the bigger table in the middle, up against a wall

[lethal path]

thank you 🙂

[shut wing]

Waow the start of the expedition is trippy

[rocky fern]

Ok, this is the wildest, most aggressive Expedition ever.
Did everyone start underwater with no relevant resources nearby?

[shrewd coral]

My first two starts were on a peninsula near plenty of other stuff, second was annoyingly on a mountain side and had to platform up to my ship and building. I have seen some other folks describe a wet start, tho

[hushed lava]

be prepared to trip out and be schizophrenic for about 8 or so hours

[shut wing]

I am looking forward to it, was kinda wondering if this would be another dull start. But NOPE

[finite harbor]

nearly done with this expedition

[shut wing]

actual new stuff

[hushed lava]

I just completed the expedition like 20 minutes ago, i am relieved

there were some really difficult parts

[finite harbor]

The alien artifacts and the kill sentinel stuff was annoying

[shut wing]

Yeah killing sentinels is never a fun experience tbh, it's not hard.. just tedious

[hushed lava]

the artifact was easy, the sentinel stuff was a nightmare

had to be specifically one kind which were pretty hard to find at times

and they were STRONG

[gaunt path]

Yep-

[rocky fern]

Then maybe I'll only need to restart two or three more times before I figure out how to do what they're askin' me to do.

[hushed lava]

the ship made it worth it, its nice

i wish we could make custom ones

[rocky fern]

Jesus, how? I've never completed an Expedition in less than about thirty hours.

[hushed lava]

speedran

took me all day

[gaunt path]

Maybe so- I’m just trying to finish everything and I’m realizing that for someone who enjoys playing games I’m Really Bad at playing games 🫠🫠🫠

Everyone is taking like 4-8 hrs to complete this it’s taking me 3 days to get to phase 4.

[shrewd coral]

fresh install is go, will make another new save to see if it's still being funny

[gaunt path]

U got dis✨ powaaaaa

[hushed lava]

4 hours is crazy

[gaunt path]

Very- and its pissing me off that some are able to do it that fast

[shrewd coral]

I have the power of "Former QA Tester and Expert Metrologist" on my side. unfortunately this bodes very ill for the game behaving.

[hushed lava]

you're a measurer man

[finite harbor]

And it's over

[rocky fern]

I'm also terrible at video games. I'm just so slow. It's probably why I have over five hundred hours in this damn game.

[finite harbor]

yippee

[gaunt path]

😂 exactly
Rn I’m stuck on the arachnophobia bit (u can see it in the 4th phase)

[finite harbor]

no don't wordy

worry

This part actually is horrid

[gaunt path]

Mildly considering asking the game chat for help but I get then again I’m fairly certain everyone will leave at once, ignore me, or cuss me out 💀

[finite harbor]

nothing they can really do to help in this part

[gaunt path]

They said use stun and I managed to down one of em but then the others are just freakin- grrrrr

[hushed lava]

that quest GAVE me arachnophobia, and im australian

[gaunt path]

😂😂 irony- I’m not afraid of spiders thankfully but I Am afraid of being ganged up on

[hushed lava]

im afraid of the healers healing the spider while im trying to kill the spider and the spider is throwing purple fire on me while im trying to take out the healers

[gaunt path]

Yeaahh figured. At the rate I’m going I’m not even gonna be able to complete the expedition though

[gaunt path]

😂😂😂

[shrewd coral]

there we go.

[gaunt path]

Don’t forget how every drone within 300 km decides to spawn as well

[hushed lava]

i am not going near any sentinel planets for a while now

im done with them

[gaunt path]

Oh yeah that reminds me- does anyone know how to find the second exotic fauna?

[rocky fern]

starting underwater frantically searching for Di-hydrogen while being attacked by ghost-squids was awful

[indigo falcon]

bon voyage, explorer!

[gaunt path]

Got the first one from the planet of light and now they don’t exist anymore

[hushed lava]

retrace your steps back to the previous system and go to the scaly one... a LOT of people had to do this

I also had to do it

[gaunt path]

ugh…

[indigo falcon]

see pinned message in this channel "where to go" for these, hint there is one in the next breach ssytem

[sinful dust]

How do you get tainted metal?

[hushed lava]

derelict freighters

[shrewd coral]

going to see if loading up mods is triggering something or if they play nice after a clean reinstall, now................

[hushed lava]

in space

[sinful dust]

But how do i get it from those

[hushed lava]

you land on the freighter, go through it and open the stuff

[indigo falcon]

not just there,

[hushed lava]

and never forget about the heaters

[indigo falcon]

•exotic creatures: Todai 63/Z1 (hex planet, 3 life forms, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR:
Hijo 13/W8 (Breach 4 system) and Dupraie T47 (webbed moon, Breach 5 system Umardag)

[sinful dust]

Ok

[indigo falcon]

derelct, recommend to run in starter or first system, many crates, weak enemies

[thick umbra]

I know . but that was the planet where I found all of them in once 😉

[indigo falcon]

you were busy scanning things like a good little explorer! 😄

[hushed lava]

i feel like this expedition might have been a teaser... am i crazy for thinking this

[finite harbor]

I hope it's a teaser

[thick umbra]

Yeah I want as soon as possible get the nanites 🙂

[sinful dust]

Is it difficult to get 600 tainted metal or will i get that in five minutes on a derelict freighter

[gaunt path]

Follow up question- how to do that… I don’t think the last one had a space station

… I think a player just told me to get a better ship by sending me high value goods

I’m both offended and grateful

[hushed lava]

you can either go through a portal and enter the glyphs, or try to find a base that is uploaded that can take you to that system via space station portal

[gaunt path]

🫠

Yeah

[cyan pollen]

I cant find the second exotic

[gaunt path]

That sounds like bedtime. My 2:30 am brain is Not that patient

That’s a tomorrow me’s problem-

[indigo falcon]

you need to collect the crew manifest and captain's log and sell them to the scrap metal dealer at the space station after, should net you 500. then 100 from the crates would do

[cyan pollen]

I already discovered all animals on 3 planets

[indigo falcon]

#nms-expedition message

(from a pin in this channel)

[sinful dust]

Where are the crates?

[cyan pollen]

I am in the Rocangh System of the expedition

[thick umbra]

just use your scanner and crates will be highlighted

[indigo falcon]

in the derelct itself. you will land, enter, and then be wary fr hostiles, be prepared to refill hazard prot (anomaly suppressor in this case) from extreme cold, keep an eye for heaters, can turn them on, stand near and get warm again; loot all crates, keep tainted metal an dhigh value items; be sure to move as much stuff from suit to ship before you go in

[gaunt path]

They’re blue

[indigo falcon]

uh huh. with Hijo. so you will continue on, look at the system and planet list in that message to find the right one ahead of you

[indigo falcon]

crates, lockers, also briefcase-looking things. loot them all

[heavy wave]

How should I clear the "getic glitch" quest.. I am currently in the 4th star system.

I asked nms-help, but I don't think I understood..

[indigo falcon]

see pinned message in here "where to go" for systems/planets with them

[heavy wave]

Thanks..

[indigo falcon]

hmm reformatted that a tiny bit so it's easier to read... hopefully

[scenic axle]

How long does it take to complete the expedition?

[blazing fossil]

Took me about 4 hours

Its not a very long one

[scenic axle]

Ok thx

[proper patio]

I have no idea is it a bug or is it intended, but you can warp using a sentinel ship

[indigo falcon]

intended I expect. you should not warp around to get to new breach systems, but if you want to warp around to explore, feel free

[austere meteor]

is this expedition only available for 2 weeks?

[cyan pollen]

Where do I get a hyperdrive from? Otherwise I cant warp to umurdag

[torpid swan]

there are no hyperdrives in the expedition. you have to use the portals

[indigo falcon]

don't. use portals to move forward; use space station tp to go to previous stations or player bases

[foggy basin]

about the "endless hunger" milestone, ppl say the infested planet is in the third system, but with phase 2 finished, i have only 2 systems available. where is my mistake?

[indigo falcon]

what is the name of the system you are in?

[gleaming fossil]

Hmmm...Portal 5 (final) is asking me for Glyphs instead of the Elixir of Blood. Something doesn't seem right here.
I found the portal while hunting for the lost relics (Burial thingies). I suspect it broke things when I did that because drinking the Quicksilver Elixir doesn't show any new portals now expect the one I'm at. Stupid comms balls everywhere saying it's to the final, so I'm sure I'm at the right place.
Any thoughts?

[foggy basin]

i have Temerifi X and Samandano XII

[severe pendant]

Guys when I got the ship as a reward did my modules from my starting ship automatically move to the new one? Do I have both ships? I’m a bit confused
