bear in mind that materials cannot be retrieved until after you reach the second system, in any expedition.
i just was at a portal hoping i could re-use the blood potion but it just asked for glyphs. hope i find them in this pin, thx
the glyphs are there! no worries, you got this
You need new blood for each portal
they've already been to/through it, this is backtracking to get to Gaxaral now
Ah
If you didn’t make a base in the abandoned system, ya need to join a friend right? I think I heard that somewhere
I've finally completed all of the expedition milestones, but I cannot claim the ship because my inventory is full, there's a couple of spaces in both my personal and ship inventory, how many need to be free, and which inventory needs the space?
you don't have to; you can use glyphs for the system at a portal; you can find a player base if you are lucky...
Ooh cool. I didn’t know glyphs did stuff in Cursed. Thought blood was the way
no inventory should need it, this message indicates some other issue and I don't know what that is
anyone know which planet i can go to to fish? in phase 3?
blood for the milestones and to get to each new system the first time.

❗ Bug Warning !!! 🤬 🥚
There is currently an issue with the Glowing Egg expedition reward. We strongly recommend players to NOT yet claim this reward until Hello Games has fixed it.
Users have reported the Egg to disappear after hatching without a companion being added. Further more, we have noticed having the egg in inventory to possibly cause further issues.
We would appreciate reporting this issue to Hello Games
, for increased awareness, seeing this issue patched with a future update.

I'm not in multiplayer
Sentinel
ty!
#nms-expedition message (it's in the pins too)
are you still inside expedition?
Wait. There isn’t a bug related to getting or having the new ship right? It’s just the egg for now ?
Hope not
correct, afawk
I've managed to do it, I was trying to claim the ship while in my original ship, I had to leave it to claim it
Good!
ah yes.
great info, thanks!
Hahaha. That would do it. Can’t swap ships while in one
lol that happened to me
Ah fuck
Having it in your inventory can also cause issues?
Is this an intern mistake? XD
don't claim it at all, that's our advice (the egg)
Oh…too late for that
stash it in an unused exocraft (that is not the active one)
I have it stashed in a storage container, should that be fine?
mmm unclear, if you never go in there, or you don't have a freighter, then maybe?
where did you do the second derelict?
have a freighter, dang
if freighter is in the system then the container contents are sort of on tap... so I'd move it yeah
where? I don't have any exocraft
ok put in a secondary ship you never use
o7
Emergency signal detector
no, where? what system were you in when you used the detector?
anyone got spare iron vulture parts? I’m ready for them whoever told me they had some earlier
#nms-lfg-or-trades would be the best place to ask
hey does the local boundry stabiliser not work, or do i need to do something else other than put it down and turn it on
tru, still can’t find starborn runner even in there 😔🙏
put it on your base outdoors, stand by it, look at your hazard bar
not doing anything, and does it not stop the spawning of the horrors?
what is your hazard bar at now?
about 2/3
no horrors attacking right?
and going down, and im standing right next to the thing
Just at 1/2
it's still going down? ok then that's a bug, it should just stay
you can't interact with it or anything, right?
i mean i can turn it off and on, but it does seem like the horros are not attacking so ill take it
they won't attack until < 50%
but when it's on, the bar should not drop
if you see it dropping anyways, then ...

System 1, not rendezvous 1
do you need to keep the haunted fish or can i just release them for invo space once i catch them?
You can release em
ah! both stater system and the next one have great derelicts, well done!
poggers, ty
release... for a few free nanites 🙂
The Ren1 one was annoyingly long
i had this happen on my first run; in ship, and it was still draining. try to save+reload.
okay so the thing is working now, just ahd to turn it off and on a couple times
not ideal but at least doing something now
(hey psst now you can wait for night and do the serenity milestone 😛 )
fly round planet to dark side
Sell or keep:
Forlorn lavae
Vile spawn
Hypnotic eye
Inverted mirror
yeah but then a new base and put down the item again, the point was to use the item to keep the bar stable for the lulz
Its only 60 seconds its fine
can refine the inverted mirrors if you need the nanites, the vile spawn the same, keep one mirror if you want to find a sentinel ship, sell the rest
just got out of my ship at night, wakked away from it, stared up at night sky, clock starts.
yes I know it's fine to do without, this was "hey now you have this item and can do that milestone in this different way" for the lulz. lulz, you know, laughs? 😛 😛
No recipe requires those right?
no recipe needs any of the larvae/spawn/eyes/mirrors, right
Now the game is telling me to take a bath
is there something we should know?
Help i think im stuck at phase 1 beyond the boundary i found the portal early and already activated now after using the item to locate a portal i have no glyphs to input
I'm not saying this is the most efficient way, I'm saying it's an amusing way
You only need the blood, no glyphs
make the blood elixir and use it on thje plinth
If that portal does not work, go to the other planet and use a quicksilver potion there
oh god the speed at which some of these planets spin is making me dizzy
Did I just say potion?
i cant imagine this in vr
This expedition is made to kill all VR users
i can imagine
As soon as you exit a portal it puts you at 0 Boundary for a while
ah, I got ya.
so glad i don't have mine hooked up rn honestly
the less charge on anomaly suppressor, the faster time ticks (check your visor, right side)
flying the ship in vr would be so bad, honestly nms has one of the worst flight models ive ever used
I am glad I am too broke to afford a VR headset
ship flyin in vr is the only time in my life i've ever gotten motion sick
even thinking about it makes me start to feel nauseated
and yet i can't wait to do it again. gonna use some dramamine
I did get a headset and tried nms with it, just basic stuff a while back, it was... too intense for me. but very very immersive for sure
I would just drive planetary vehicles tbh
No you were not. No way anyone could mess up landing this badly
And spank some Gek cheeks
just walking around on my lush home base was pretty great
Or Gheeks as I call em
the only reason i have a headset is because i was a victim of a drunk driving hit and run and i got like 4k as a settlement
most profitable concussion to date
leaving atmos with <50% charge on anomaly supressor: "where is the atmosphere limit"
tip for the arachnophobia milestone: rocket launcher in your ship one hits the quads
Totally fair
it was two days before my birthday so i was like. fuck it. vr time.
(some of us dismantled that rocket launcher for easy 100 copper)
I can't even find an Infected planet for worms 😅 but ty ill keep this in mind
Can living perals be bought on any of the phases or found on any of their planets?
•hungering tendrils (worm babies): Wisbor XV (Breach 3 system Gaxaral)
Current phase3 with the ability to go to phase2 but not phase1
I specifically duped my ship for that because Explorers feel like I am hurling water balloons at an AT-AT

@obtuse shell
So, I sold everything I'm could do without & I still can't afford the freighter detector thing.
What's a good way to make some credits?
Armored Clambs? K col
ancient bones; glowing mineral (buried mineral formations), unpack, sell; buried caches
the aurora borealis? at this time of day, in this part of the world, localized entirely in your kitchen?
Duuuuuuude I just gave mine away
Enter the anomaly and talk to Helios
any reasonable size body of water, look for armoured clam, swim up, interact to take the pearl and swim off
Seen the clambs but havnt went to one lol.
only works after completing first derelict freighter mission though
bones/glowing mineral/caches should be more than enough
salvaged scrap too.
even ancient ruins loot.
Or Storm crystals
yep yep
if on a not awful world you can dig up some salv data and sell that off too... storm crystals if on an extreme storm world....
You can also try grabby balls but those are a hassle
not worth the hassle imo
with cloaking device, not really tbf
eh they don't sell for enough for the stack size
You mean grav spheres right? Yea those dumb robots exist wherever they do it seems
No worries.
Sold off some extra Storm Crystals I've been holding.
Yeah those, grabby-tiny balls
hope you kept 1
need it for crafting something....
Oh shit right
how the frick did i get 9 mil units already lmao
Strange I only have the option for Phase 1 station but not 2 or 3 even though I'm on phase 3
But those are easy to get
do you need hadal core for anything
Phase 3 has no station
scan/sell/etc... plus milestone rewards, you do rake in the units
breach 3 is uncharted, no station; breach 2, you didn't visit it
You need to put a base there if you wanna come back
can refine for nanites if you need the milestone
4 actually, but this scrap guy now want 10min for me to find another freighter!!
(portal back is a way in)
oh pog ty
how am i supposed to to serenity reclaimed when night isnt even 60s long?
nah, forget that; goto anomaly, talk to helios, get 1 free scanner
Then the 2nd portal took me to the wrong place then because thr system I was in had a station
Oh shit so you already completed one freighter?
wait for the start of night, fill the bar, then stand there I guess (or that's what you did already?)
it is, if you have a fully charged anomaly suppressor and landed in the middle of the night side
Yeah.
Only got half of what I needed.
Did I get it right that I am not supposed to have an hyperdrive? Because the one on my copied ship works just fine.
you did sell crew manifest+captains log to scrap dealer, yes?
Did you get a freighter upgrade?
yeah did that, ive tried 2 times, and it gets to 57secs then hits day ;-;
correct, and correct
yuo need to get both captain's log and crew manifest and sell them both to scrap dealer, that's 500 tainted metal right there.... then more form looting should round it off
Your starting ship won't have it, but all other ships do
Didn't know I could.
mmm you might be a bit too far north or south, try moving towards the center as bk says
where would the center be, you mean like the equator?
uh huh
At this point I would say it would be easier to find Harmonic camps and get some taints from that
goto space - where's the sun at - go around the planet to the night side, if needed. aim at the middle of it. pulse drive down, exit ship. look up, if it's not storming, it will start counting.
How?
Not seeing those items in my inventory.
no guarantee though and could be many attempts (my rng is that I almost never get tainted metal from those, it is a fixed per site drop)
can i also refine the hypnotic eyes down to nanites or do you need those for something
not needed for anything
Did you interact with any computer in the freighter?
when you ran through the derelict freighter, there are 3 terminals to be interacted with, the 2nd of which requires secure credentials item.
pog ty
@steep shale pinged also in bot-spam <#bot-spam message>
F!!
quick scan to highlight loot, wifi like icons are log snippets
Yeah he done goofed
might have been first time in a derelict, lots to absorb in zero time, heh
yep, definitely not judging
Thank you I managed to find this system
would def recommend dropping and claiming a base comp in the system
just in case anything's needed from it
On top of constant life support drain, fast thermal protection drain(that doesn't recharge with sodium) and slow walking I don't blame em
Any tips on finding a monolith ancient ruins? I keep using a signal strengthener and it just finds trading posts and other useless shit
Game is still saying there's no infested planets in system tho 🤣
alien charts, space station, exchange nav data for alien charts
Signal boosters are useless
get 4 charts
Ignore that and go do the thing
yep knopwn bug etc
ok so heres a question. when you get into a derelict it says, "collect emergency supplies?" does that just open the "supplied" chest thats near the first terminal?
Easiest way to get nav data?
Waypoints
Waypoints?
Fly around hitting scan, stop whenever you see a house icon, thats a waypoint
blue and yelllow cubes at space stations; then waypoints (look for unknown building markers) on planets
@fading bison spam use, don't clear buried ruin markers (see image), use another chart (spam use through errors)
Bet
If you click on it it gives you nav data
Thanks guys youre real mvps
@fading bison phase 4 milestone 1, x20 nav data
I think i sold the nav data I'll just get more
The ship it spawned me in initially was fucking trash I had to
Finally, someone who hates their starting explorer too
how quickly we forget our starter ship from long ago... ah those were the days
it's fine just a few minutes scanning around with ship over a planet/in space stations looking for lootables
Not in phase 3 tho
How do I get a scanner from Helios?
Do NOT do that in Phase 3
if you have already completed onederelict freighter, Helios will then give you one free scanner each week.
You need to successfully complete a derelict freighter sadly
interact with him, what's the options you get
Grrr these Sentinel Quads
Sonuva!!
Fml!
Interact with him twice, first he will ask for some data, then if the option is to ask him about his past ...............you are kinda fucked.
There is still a way out though
That doesn't require millions of units
Ask someone here if you can use their scanner.
I gave mine away sadly after I completed the milestone
Why am I only finding 50u deep water when I need 60? 😑
I did it with 52
oh is it 60? you might be able to dig down the other 10 and make it work
just a wide opening so you stay over it
that will work yeah
Is there a corrupted sentinel world after the portal 4? I have 4 quads to go
And then the last bit of things
I'm at 65 now, nothing happening
lmao
"rookie numbers"
wall of comm balls
IDK why ppl do that. Explain
it's just like signing a guestbook
I think so and I do't reember the name
at least i have a beefy enough system that all the comm balls and such dont slow down the game
Thanks. Just wanna get more of them wrapped up. Still have a week and a half but the quads are a grind.
bruh
Phase 2, there are not storm cristals on the first planet right?
is it storming by any chance?
"Urston" planet in that system has them
Just bugged i think, flew another place and finished it now
Thinking of opening my own butchers after this expedition
kept 1 stack, trashed the rest
grass fed or...?
Thanks
McGek?
Korvax King
Burger Vy'keen
I’m thinking Autophage’s
good one!
Ive been to 4 ancient ruins and none of them have counted, anything special that I'm missing?
Finally phase 5
I had this too. It's confusing becuase there's different types of ancient ruins
go to the monolith type ones, not the buried treasure ones
I’m beating this tonight, 4 more milestones because I’ve already beat 3 in phase 5
It's NOT the ones where you can dig for keys
Yeah THIS
I'm in the phase 4 system but not finding a lot of abysal horrors in the waters?
Thank you
You need help with abyssal horrors?
@teal valley
Thnx, does it need to be water or can it be the abandoned buildings horrors too?
both
look for exclamation marks
ah, cool, makes slightly easier.
the ones in the water with the single eye, that draws you in
ah, no worries.
Needs to be underwater, those eye things that pull you
abyssal horror cannot spawn on the surface
thank goodness!
can spawn in shallow water, but not surface
But I want to pluck the eye from one of those yuge ones in space! 😉
it's all you, I'll just stand over here and watch...
it would drop like 100 eyes
I’ve just accidentally found a Venator in the exped
C class venator accidentally 😭
This is by far the worst expedition made
It might have been decent, however half of everything don't work
luck (rng) and bug encounters can play a large role in making it better or worse
you can get two of the expedition ship at the end of the quest ?
Imo I had no bugs at all playing this
i got one for 1.4k nanites
personally, i ran through it all no issues but hey, might not be so lucky next run
I have had enough helping players with bugs on this expd to last a long time tbh
Was this exped meant to last 2 weeks or am I late
if you started from existing save, and equipped it before returning to primary, you could copy ship as many times as you wanted
meant to
I can't warp to bases, so somethings I have to randomly warp around until I find it
I’ve only really seen ones with 6 weeks duration
this is my first expedition, do you keep anything you got in the expedition? If not, Do I recover anything I sent to the expedition? I put some techs there that I was using
well, first time for us too
short run this time, something apparently planned to coincide roughly with the release of the ps5pro so they needed to finish up sooner
These tendrils quest is really missing me off
you can send things back from the expdition the same way you sent them over
phase and final rewards are all unlocked account wide (claimable in other saves from space anomaly/qs shop); when you're at the terminus to finish, you'll be able to edit stash again to bring items over to primary same way as before
phase 4 milestone 1, x20 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;

I sold it 😭
ah the images have been updated for the new (not new any more) space stations, nice!
Nav data can be found in space stations
where do I buy it
some stations will have a couple of those cubes lying around which will have nav data or nanites for you, worth taking a run through those first
It's the orange / blue cubes on the counters
sometimes on a top shelf so keep eyes peeled
even crates top left image can drop it
(have mp off before going to space station so someone else in your lobby doesn't get them first)
Derelict freighter as a random doesn't count, right?
Didn’t find any
if you can land on it and enter and loot it, that's the right one
no landing pads, can't board it, not a derelict freighter mission
I would be done by now if I could simply warp to player bases, this is bull shit..
None of the bases download
owners left instance; save+reload to refresh
Can't I just rob an active freighter? lol
nah
yep, can drop from wheel barrows too, although not all camps will ofc
Found 1 nav data, got a ruin too
3 more navdata and you'll be able to find another ruin guaranteed
after that I got final portal, face of glass, to drink the water and the glitched one
Does anyone here have a base on a planet with tendrils? I'd like to join so I can warp to it
Just go to the infested planet
I can't go back, nothing to warp to
ah ok, that's great
use glyphs the regular way at a portal, glyphs for all systems are pinned in here
This ship looks like the Millennium falcon from star wars
Does the Expedition give you any starship storage upgrades? Deciding which ship to bring in
Yea I noticed that
It gives you around 10 if you do all the milestones in the exped
Not sure if my game is borked or not -- got to Beyond the Boundary, drank the elixir, found the portal, and then nothing. I can't enter the portal to continue. Eventually I got a prompt to reactivate the pillar - got all the reqs and still nothing except it wants me to enter the glyphs -- I don't know any glyphs to enter, but if I did, it would reward me with ... all glyphs
you need to craft elixir of blood
It should give you the option to use it at the portal, do NOT use it unless the portal gives you the option
I didn't see that option
Do I need to be on a certain planet to look at stars? Because even though I'm looking at them it's on 0/60
I just went through the 4th breach!
no. any planet at night as long as stars are visible (not a storm)
No, you have to be outside, not in a ship, on ground, not in a storm
Make sure to craft the correct blood elixir. Look for the glyph icon that goes with it.
What about clouds there's a few clouds
Phase 5!
Clouds are fine
if the clouds aren't blocking your view, it's fine
the planet of light (4 th phase) has only one exotic life form ? thx
but the next system has a suitable world
Yeah, you need to go back to the 3rd system or forward to the 5th system
Finally completed the exped
enjoy your new ride!
there will be, check back later. (remember it's only been out 3 days now!)
hey when we go back to a normal save file and claim our rewards will it matter if we have claimed them during the expedition?
Nope
cool

You can get everything on your main im pretty sure
Uh oh
Not claiming that then on my main
various not good things
Okay great
and no companion from the egg as you should
is that the translucent companion egg or somthin else?
I don’t want anything bad happening to my main
that's the one
Spent like 63h on it
yep just leave that at the qs vendor for now
so i shouldnt claim the phase 4 reward
Anything I need to bring with me to make the expedition less tedious? Any particular items/tech
see pin in this channel "DO bring..." etc for some tips
I keep forgetting pinned things exist
read, use, share! saves on all our typing 😄
I found a derelict freighter and it is really strange, I am half the size I should be and everything is stretched....
uh ohes. as long as you don't fall through the floor it should still be ok...
Alright! Back on track.
Needed a 2nd freighter to complete.
go go go
and I just fell through the floor as I entered, great Should have listened
The starting system
crap crap. that's one of the better ones
ummm... mp off, go to anomaly, teleport to some featured base, save-exit-reload, go to anomaly, teleport back, try again (but mayb efirst system derelict this time just to be extra sure)
Ok, 2 ruins and to drink some water is all that's left. Which chart do I need for it?
alien artifact site, you want the monolith ones, not the buried treaure ones when you do get the markers. buy 5 maps, spam 3, go to the right marker, spam another map, etc
Is it me or does anyone find the ink stained trail noise really gross
gloop gloop
I think that is the point. have you seen the fleshy trail one? talk about ewwww
is it exped?
don’t got it then cuz this is the first exped I’ve done
I REALLY want the titan worm egg but I can’t get it no more
@indigo falcon so far only ones I've seen want an item to show me where a portal is.
this is ok. you can find players who hatched their companion and ask them to give you an egg from their companion!
really?
@supple pendant
No gifs in this channel please
so you can just get infinite worms??
That's called a parasitic infection... and you need dewormer.
any companion egg can be bred (well unless there is a KNOWN BUG ahem cough hg...)
Yes. I have 2 different ones on my main
yeah you want the ones where you can learn a word or ask for info about the past, depending on your choice (I would just choose the word), the big ruins
any spare?
wait so y oi telling me I can get a titan worm without doing the exped or trading?
Both are ready to lay an egg.
If I switched from expedition to mainwould my progress be lost?
nope
Just make sure to switch back from the terminal in anomaly
that's the monolith ruins, for the other player
Only thing is tho I’m in creative cuz I never found survival to be fun
Ah right
Yes, join parties and I can drop an egg in your inventory
don't get greedy now! 😄
Alright thanks so much
You want me to add you or you to add me?
How hard can it be to find 2 alien ruins?...he said 1 hour later 😕
Your in creative? I'm in normal, fairly sure we can't be in the same party
Dang alright then
can absolutely be in same party
only pd and expd are separate
Oh, nice to know. I'll switch to my main now
Are other people's bases just disabled on this expedition? Their power isn't working and extractors don't work
Great, genuinely can’t wait I been looking for one of these forever and just thought it was a lost dream of mine
go get 5 alien artifact maps from cartographer, go to planet, spam 3maps, now go only to the ruin site that is the large monolith type, NOT the ruined treasure type, then spam another map, etc
refiners is an issue since a few updates ago, bugged. power? save-exit-reload ought to clear that
Pm sent
What kind of ship is the reward ship?
You what?
Whats your friend code
uhh
explorer type
where you find that agajn
(please coordinate in dms if you don't mind)
This is not working for me. Used lots of maps now
can you describe step by step what you do? which maps you buy, how you use them, which sites you go to? sorry for this but otherwise it will be hard to tell what is going wrong.
guys when i got my starship reward waht happened to my starter ship and its mods?
Finished the exp. Got me companion egg. It hatched. Disappeared. RIP I suppose.
known bug, please please report, do not claim on any otehr save

Artifact maps. And I'm only getting ancient treasure ruins.
do you open three maps in a row before going anywhere?
Nope. I'm blocked until I'm landing at one
Really? Damn so it's really gone. Okay I'll report
the next map will complain that it can't because site already marked. wait a few seconds, spam again. repeat until it gives a site. then do that with third map. (that's what we mean by saying to "spam three maps", you are spamming through the errors; the point is that there are only three types of sites so if all three maps mark sites, you have one of the right type, can go there, then spam the next map to force it to mark antoher of those)
it is a weird but very useful game mechanic
Millennium falcon time!
Uh perfect. Never had one.
i can just summon my old ship lol how stupid
can I decline multitool upgrade and get it later?
yes, it should just land in your inventory (hope you have space!)
oh, cool, thank you! (yes I have 😁 )
I hear you. But it doesn't work. I'm so blocked
I think I already had one upgrade there, and 5 should be added 
what doesn't work? you can't get the second map to show a new marker?
But have 5 now... Nvm, still better than upgrading this C class multitool
just keep spamming it, eventually it will
Similar building already marked, can't use map. I can sit here and spam the button til I turn blue. It doesn't work
I would mp off and save-exit-reload, and then try again. give it a few seconds between attempts. this is how we all use these maps.
I know. It use to work that way. But not now
I don't understand why this milestone is so particular. All of these are ancient ruins 🤷
the milestones are sometimes not very specific or have text that is outright wrong in the log (fishing for example)
hi, what chart type are you using? alien or artifact dig site?
alien or artifact dig site?
Hey all. Anyone know where I can find a second exotic creature. There is only one on the planet of light.
•exotic creatures: Todai 63/Z1 (hex planet, 3 life forms, Breach 3 system Gaxaral), Hijo 13/W8 (1 life form, Breach 4 system Rocangh), Dupraie T47 (webbed moon, 1 life form, Breach 5 system Umardag)

How do I get nanites into expedition?
about to start from existing save?
yeah, I did
did, or about to?
because you can't go back and edit stash now, if you already started
just no idea how to transfer them from my existing save. You can transfer items anytime, right?
I cant? I thought you can do it anytime
nope, only on start
edited pin to be clearer about which map type, it could have confused players
Thanks for the info .
nanites in exp16: zoology bonus nanite reward, selling upgrade modules, refining larval/hadal cores, radiant shards, etc

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;

getting a few more (4) nav data won't be difficult
alien artifact site map and that's my bad, I didn't realize folks might be confused and get the straight up artifact ones
happens too
should i sell all those expensive stuff i got in the expedition like ancient bones, geodesite, stasis device, living glass?
yes (stasis device? lucky trip to anomaly heh?)
if you are given a stasis device, definitely sell 😄 😄
i got 10 of those don't know what happened guys
bones, geodesite, sell. aronium/magna gold/etc, might refine for gold/silver as needed.
exceptional skeleton?
Finished the exped on Switch now too. Must say, it was a lot less pleasant than on PS5. There's close to no astroid fields, so farming some silver and gold is much slower.
Planet surfaces load in very slow. I have to wait for about 4 seconds, before the game figures out that the surface is fine to land on. So laggy.
But, that's another run done. Now the Mac version awaits.
Still got it done under 6 hours, even with the laggy buildups.
Why do you do this to yourself?
Bit of an odd one but do you have to use the signal booster or can you just buy the map from the space station to get the two ancient ruins?
Map is way easier
Thank you
Because I want the ship on my Switch account as well.
remember that buried ancient ruins will not work. if you fly towards a ruin marker, and it's a buried one, ignore it fly away, use another alien chart/spam use through errors
Ah cool thank you had no idea
at most 4 alien charts, and you should get the two you need
finally got it done. Thanks to all of you that tried to help. Now I can rest 😴
have a good rest, recharge!
where do i find the 2 exotic creatures? only one of the planets in the system had an exotic creature and it was the only one on the whole planet
rest well!

To toggle the Pins popout:
the next system has a good planet.. info in pins 🙂
Gek being the most metal species in the lore
Done! Will return to main as soon I do my favorite thing when I play an exped over the weekend... double dip QS missions eheheh.
Double QS gimmie gimmie
already swimming in QS myself. I stopped doing the weekly for a while now. Nothing to spend it on anyway.
switch players got a very late start getting quicksilver... a long ways to catch up yet
I'm actually almost there. Got what, 25k of unlocks left?
the end is in sight!
Haven't had the courage to build myself a base on Switch yet. I feel the console will explode at some point.
So, I have few needs on Switch, concerning QS. Already bought the armor cosmetics on there.
so i finally finished the expedition but how do i get all the new stuff, especially the ship over to my regular save?
depends on how started this run
Question about claiming the ship at the end; if I use the Expedition terminal to make a copy of it, and have 2 of them, can this be used to essentially reroll the SC slots?
Have I bought the wrong maps coz all I'm getting is buried ruins on different planets I've gone through 4-5 now
not sure as it should be the same seed, but give it a go
oh boy, i am scared now. i started a new game for this expedition instead using the terminal in my old save. that was a crucial mistake?
as mentioned:
buried ancient ruins will not work.
if you fly towards a ruin marker, and it's a buried one, ignore it
fly away,
use another alien chart/spam use through errors
Hmm how about if i make a restore point before getting it, and just re load until the slots are preferable?
Plaques only counted when I did it.
no. means that you're a little more limited in options, but all is well. goto main save, quicksilver shop, claim expedition rewards.
same, fixed per seed
Hmm okay.
ah ok, but all the units, nanits, mats and such will be lost?
correct, those are "stuck" in that save, because well, it's a separate save. phase and final expedition rewards are unlocked account wide, which is why they're available in the quicksilver shop in any save under this account
account wide also goes for quicksilver purchases, for example
so lets say you had a bit of quicksilver in that exp save
you could spend it there on something if possible
I just went through the 5th breach!
well a bit sad for all the mats and money, but understandable. actually i just wanted the ship anyways 😉
and it would unlock it for the account
bjorn just shuffling pins, disregard
@remote thunder in really sorry but which chats do I buy??
I was laughing because I had the current expedition pin open and was like where'd it go?! 😂
Whoo, ODS is back! grabs weekend mission ASAP
Alien, not artifact.
@lime vessel get 5 alien artifact maps from cartographer, go to planet, spam 3maps, now go only to the ruin site that is the large monolith type, NOT the ruined treasure type, then spam another map, etc
Thank you!!
Thank you
@remote thunder i beat the ||Boundary Guardian||
Hi, I tried to hatch my translucent companion egg and nothing happened, but the egg disappeared. I already claimed the reward on my main save, but I did not hatch the egg. Is there going to be a problem?
I already reported the bug to Zendesk
It is a bug

❗ Bug Warning !!! 🤬 🥚
There is currently an issue with the Glowing Egg expedition reward. We strongly recommend players to NOT yet claim this reward until Hello Games has fixed it.
Users have reported the Egg to disappear after hatching without a companion being added. Further more, we have noticed having the egg in inventory to possibly cause further issues.
We would appreciate reporting this issue to Hello Games
, for increased awareness, seeing this issue patched with a future update.

the one thing i didnt like was the stupid corrupt quadruped quest
now i want to speculate about the lore implications so much
For this expedition, are we able to clone starship and multi tool
you can clone stuff in yes
cause it says hyperdrive is broken
that was challenging ngl
Oh I see, cool thanks!
even with my cloned MT
wait... you guys have done it already...? I am still stuck at phase 1 because of the mats grinding... 😭
wait fr??
i dont remember if i cloned in mine before or after doing it
any advice on what to bring to expedition?
huh?
i mean i normally go in with nothing except for cloning in my ship and multitool later on
I forgot to put in some preparation supplies...
Same!
and i beat it in a couple days
you can check **now reorganised ** pins
I've learned quite a lot from that, like how to fight sentinels better and use secondary weapons better with a the controller.

has anyone found a large curious deposit in the expedition yet?
DRG dwarf voice: "We're rich"
im trying to complete the stone ghost mission and i've gone to 3 different ruin sites but havent completed it. am i missing something?
Yeah
also the exclusive ship is really nice, and you can extract modules from it im pretty sure
Much money
I meant specificallt for this expedition. for example I believe you need a lot of di hydrogen and mordite
The Boundary Herald is fire 🔥
thats also mentioned in the pinned message
the ones that have the ancient knowledge thingy or whatever it is? you have to interact with that
damn, let me check again
epic ship
just looking at the images of the other ones cause the only other exclusive i have is the iron vulture, i think this is the best one so far
if only we could change the colours
according to the space station thingy it is harvestable for customisation modules
should i try harvesting it and see what i get?
W H A T
although it doesnt show up in the fabricator
it says its harvestable but i dont see the parts in the fabricator anywhere
maybe later they drop an update to add them
but yeah i think its an explorer class?
i didnt end my expedition save so i could harvest it and clone it back in if i dont get anything special, should i do it?
You using the alien maps and not the artifacts ones?
You will not get any parts!
you can try
do you know if there will be parts?
It's in the pins - you want the monoliths that give you info or point to a relic site, not the relic sites. There was one just over the hill by the Portal in the 2nd system.
Don't try. It's a bug that it's salvagable at all.
@devout nexus I do believe it should be better communicated though, because it does give the impression it does. Feel free to let Hello Games know
!hg
You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
I think it is likely still intended to be able to scrap, just to rid of it if you wish, instead of forcing an exchange
Scrap, yes. But the salvage option should be grayed out like it is for any ship with no salvaged parts.
well every ship is salvageable for scrap arent they? just only some are salvageable for customisation
Yeah, sorry, exactly
That is definitely a bug. The patch notes said nothing about the Cursed ship having fabricator parts.
wish it was a customiser ship
where can i find the 2nd exotic creature?
ive already been on a planet of light but
theres no other exotics in the system
where do you get gold from in the 1st system?
Personally I'm getting really annoyed we got THREE unique expedition ships this year but no max ship slot increase. HG, c'mon.
floating for 60s the timer stopped after sometimes, how do I keep timer runs?
a secondary resource from a rock?
Asteroids in space
uhhh thats the one in the ocean right? did you move away from the required depth?
OHHHH thank you that makes sense yep
how do i find the 2nd exotic creature?
nvm I got it
From the pins:
exotic creatures: Todai 63/Z1 (hex planet, 3 life forms, Breach 3 system Gaxaral),
Hijo 13/W8 (1 life form, Breach 4 system Rocangh), Dupraie T47 (webbed moon, 1 life form, Breach 5 system Umardag)
wait so does it want me to warp to another system?
Having some real trouble killing the quadrupeds for the expedition, any tips? Weapons to use, what upgrades to get, etc?
No, you don't get a warp drive, but you do get to portal to other systems
only 2 others show up, the starting one and another that doesnt seem to have an exotic
or wait
you mean glyph portals?
i ended up kinda cheesing that one by getting it to the last wave and murdering them with my ship lol, but the paralysis mortar was pretty helpful
In this expedition, you'll be using Blood Elixirs
even though i havent finished all the quests for this system?
you can do quests out of order
LOL I didn't even think about using my ship

Just do not hatch it, and keep an eye out in case it causes other issues. You may wish to store the egg elsewhere for the time being
also uhhhh i think theres something wrong with the boundary horror head, none of the customisation does anything?

This update is cursed riddled with bugs
i can relate to adding a bunch of stuff to a system that seemingly works then everything just explodes
has happened to me too many times
Which map do I get for the ruins?
idk about maps but if you find any observatories they always seemed to point me to the right kind of ruins for the quest
Suspicious Package (Tech)
Alien, not artifacts
Waiting for the last QS weekly to cycle to something reasonable before I grab my QS and yeet back to main.
how do i go back to gaxaral? which blood elixir is it?
What should I bring with me to start the expedition?
@red zealot
-#
to view info below, enable embeds
...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.

Di-hydrogen, life support gel, 1-2 emergency signal scanners if you have some laying around.
@red zealot you can't use blood if you're past that milestone; post with glyph addresses to all systems <#nms-expedition message>
Will do.
also see <#nms-expedition message>
If you got one, packup your personal refiner, wish I had.
prebuilt personal refiner mk1 is a reward from phase 2 fear the sun
really easy to do even before you get to ship
I'm reading the char and all I get is that starting this expedition with a fresh character is a bad idea
Oh and have a good combat MT with a paralysis mortar on it as your main. You'll want to copy that in.
Crafting a regular refiner you can keep in the inv is what I did
why would it be, if your primary save is already fully established
took me 10min before i was out of the starter planet and in space lol
Lol imma try with my main then
I did it fine in one day taking no outside resources
Kinda like to start fresh
i go into expeditions with nothing except for cloning my multitool and ship and it was pretty easy, and i couldve also for sure done it without cloning them
oh, i see, is this about bad spawn locations? just restart lol
Probably, I just couldn't produce glass potions fast enough before my character was being killed
I haven't ever copied a ship over yet. I do copy in a combat MT if necessary. I did that for this and Liquidators.
Inventory management in an expedition is part of the experience, imo
same here
i make it harder on myself by saving all the slot unlocks lol
i want those sweet sweet slots for my main save
I just started hopping into my ship, flying into space until the monkameter reset and then flying down to continue lmao
idek how far from max my inventory is lol
drumming fingers C'mon, Sir Nexus Eyeball, gimmie something easy. I wanna leave already.
oh hey only 1 row away from max cargo, 2 away from max tech
Hmm thank you. I will try again with a fresh character and if that doesn't work I'll just use either my main or the angler character
anything else just ask, check the pinned posts here
currently cheesing arachnophobia by saving and loading restore point
Protip: If you're playing the exped over the weekend and you started from your main save, you can exploit it for double QS.
i cheesed it with my ship lol
wuh how
ohhh do the community thing on the exped portion, then do it again outside of the exped portion
right?
anyone else find it unfortunate about the exp ship how the ||golden trail|| clips when not going forward in space?
Correct. Daily ones too.
damn..... i gotta do that then
i just hope warping for the community mission won't fuck up the rest of the exped
ODS was fine an hourish ago when I did it.
you talking about how it starts away from the thruster?
I mean like this, the quite stark lines and colour difference
it doesn't happen if you take the featured trail off, but it kind of bugs be even if not that bad
Cthullu is pissed
we believe it's bugged
ehhh the quicksilver shop trails do be like that
I'm just mystified they just didn't make the actual trail match, instead using a quicksilver shop trail
ah, okay, well, it's just a small visual thing so, I won't bother them about it
ship is still actually such a banger beauty
All exped QS missions done! I'll end and transfer later, I'm going out for a bit. 🙂
is something supposed to happen when i drink the blood elixir? each time afaik it just says you must feed but idk what it means and if it means drinking a stack then it can buzz off lol
You will need it when you interact with a portal and it asks for it
Keep in mind there are different Blood Elixirs required for each 'breach' with a portal
yeah
General advice: don't craft a blood elixir until it prompts you.
yea
Just have the mats on hand prior, if you want to prep
still you can just drink it from your inventory
So don't drink it, vampire, tsk tsk
doesn't the description mention drinking it too?
Wait, do they transfer to main?
You only drink blood potion 1st time, after that you just keep in inventory
only if you started from new save+convert
Aw dang.
Was looking forward to having blood vials chillin' in my legacy trinkets storage for funsies
I bet you can get some in the Anomaly.
Hey, how do you give your squadron specific ships?
sad Switch violin
Ah yes, I should have known.
There's a reason I became a "raid the expedition for legacy goodies and hoard them on main" player lol
You hire pilots, they come with their own ship
Ok, but can i change that ship?
Hi! I'm in Rocangh system and I don't know where to get the "in deep water" achievement. Any ideas?
You choose, by picking the pilot that has a ship you like
my favorite part of the exped so far was scanning plants underwater on one of the breach planets and finding Juggalos are Everywhere
So i cant give copy’s of the new ship to the pilots?
I'd just check for any planet with water. Then fly down and find a good spot with a large body of water. Land, get out and try the milestone
Yeah I tried but it goes up to 45 feet, no 50.
I guess I'll keep searching for other water bodies
I did the deep water, abysmal horror eyes and the haunted fish on the same planet. Quicker that way.
ah right
cheers
Do you remember which planet?
afaik the REDACTED one
System 3. There's two mega exotics there for anomalous fish. Probably do the frozen anomaly one. I did the other one ( the REDACTED planet), but it has extreme storms.
I have also seen reports of digging down at the bottom to get to the required depth (and then surface of course)
I had a lot of glass elixir stocked at the time, so the storm didn't bother me too much (hid in my ship anyway). But the non extreme weather mega exotic planet might be easier on people.
Yeah, I dug but only obtain 45 feet of deep
Seems like the water level is too low here
hmm, I didn't have to dig at all, just swam around some to find the depth, on the redacted planet that is
REDACTED definitely has the depth. I did it in 66u.
Might want to nab the aqua jets blueprint from the Anomaly and install it tho.
In which phase is redacted?
Then you can just land right in the middle of a deep ocean area and save on your boundary gage. You'll need to grab 3 magnetic resonators from space station pilots + dive for 4 crystal sulphide to install the aqua jets though.
No space station caused some distress with me and my friends lmao
either anomaly teleporter bases in breach 3, or portal <#nms-expedition message>
Beyond the Boundary: provides the portal glyph set, check pin for glyphs
If you didn't drop a base down, go to the Anomaly portal wherever you are now. ODS should be working.
Dropping a base computer is certainly useful with a lack of warp or SS
I dropped a base on the dissonant planet there, so I didn't have that issue.
Does anyone have a base with a Minotaur so I can defeat the Corrupt Quads for Arachnophobia?
Died 3x trying to do it by hand haha
(Might drop a base on the starter planet before I transfer back. That was stupid pretty)
Here is some useful info: #nms-expedition message
Holy, was playing with two friends and we almost gave up on the exp in that one for real
Yeah I skipped it and was able to do the next goal but still wanna 100% hehe
How do I locate alien ruins when the signal thing is being useless
Protip: have a combat MT selected as your main, whenever you do an expedition from an existing save. You never know when you'll need decent firepower.
check bases in anomaly - uploaded bases are also visible from space
you can trade in navigation data for maps at the space station
alien charts from the cartographer
get 4
This is definitely a thing I learned this exp, was actually hard
@tepid grove you don't want buried ruins, so if you fly to a marker and when approaching it's one of those, ignore it, and fire another chart/spam use through errors
Or failing that, store a paralysis mortar and voltaic amp and transfer them over. Just in case.
if there's a need for basalt, then phosphorus or pyrite+mag ferrite
Being able to stun enemies trims down a LOT of difficulty.
Thanks bk
I had my Atlas scepter as my main when I spawned in. 25k neutron cannon + paralysis mortar + SC voltaic amp = bye bye combat difficulty lol
So what am I looking for to pop up when I use the map
...my brain does this fun thing when it types the wrong word
is it the plaque?
how many derelict we have to do for this tainted quest?
How can I find the quadrupeds easily? I’m on a dissonant planet but haven’t been able to find them
alien artifact site, monolith, plaque
ok
look for resonators - large spiders are often guarding them
we only had to do one + turn in the logs to the scrap dealer
They hang around dissonant resonators a lot. Look for a drill icon in your visor.
If you go through the whole ship and search everything, and then sell the quest items, you can do it in one
Ok thanks
Ok thanks
But if you don’t you can get another derelict coordinates from Helios for free
@dusky oracle starter system derelict freighter is real easy, and has loads of crates
And you're looking for the big spider bots, not the tiny ones.
Having an issue
I have the elixir of blood for the last portal and the quest equipped
But it won't let me offer the blood
so elixir of blood
, correct?
I may be at the wrong portal
you should be at the portal marked by the elixir of quicksilver
👀
Or I did something with a plaque
ah ok
I physically can't play this, all of the screen-shake and many of the visuals are making me sick. I checked the Accessibility settings, but I can't find a way to make it neutral. Am I missing something?
Although im pretty sure you have to offer it something
there we go
Do any of the ships come with water jets
Some of the shake and head bob can be adjusted/disabled. Otherwise, you could disable the full hud, but you will need it at times
Like expedition ships
I have vibration set to 0, but I don't see another setting to help with the screen shake.
aqua jets is really recent, boundary herald doesn't have it installed
Screen shake and Head bob are under Options>Camera
sad.
And I think the full Hud is a quick bind, at least on PC
Pretty sure it's cheapish to craft anyway
Thx, I'll check.
?
thanks all for answering my questions, @remote thunder I finished the quest in second Rendezvous, abit hard, but made it, didnt bring any food and almost die of freezing
Any portal works I kept ending up back in the abandoned system just use right blood
yep
small question for help: is there a tutorial on how to build a safe farm for corrupted sentinels? me and my friends are having a bit of a hard time with the arachnophobia goal
i'm pretty sure that those problems would be fixed with installing paralysis mortar and keeping them perma stunned
build a shack with an upper floor
rain death from above
Tamed one of the exoctic creatures on planet Todai. It's smaller then any I have.
kk, we'll try that tmrw
how do i find corrupt quadrupeds?
never really actually fought many sentinels before lmao
guys help. i finished the expedition but i can't end i t
why
the terminal doesnt show me to end
goto dissonant planet, see <#nms-expedition message>
missing claimed milestones most likely.
That's the horror aspect. Stuck in an expedition. (Kidding)
lol
yeah im on one rn. is there any way to easily find resonators? theyre not showing up on the visor like they usually do when repairing an interceptor
as my screenshot showed, they're fairly easily seen from the air - can even take the time to fly lower and slower to see if there's a large spider guarding it
using visor on foot, look for their icons
I'm on a hex planet, got a message I cannot use chart, locational interference. What does that mean?
it fixed randomly after minutes.. i was fainting
uncharted system
Nope. Get the blueprint from the Anomaly, buy 3 magnetic resonators from pilots, dive for 4 crystal sulfide.
That was faster for me than fussing around swimming for deep water.
(In the future, might just store some aqua jets to take along next time)
I wish aqua landing gear gave the same effect as the omega ship
Trusters showing why it's hovering
Instead it just floats above the water
How do I find alien ruins
you don't want buried ruins, so if you fly to a marker and when approaching it's one of those, ignore it, and fire another chart/spam use through errors
Thanks.
oh so dumb, I did different quest, not the tainted metal one
how so? even if you didn't have the milestone selected, collecting tainted metal will still count
I only acquired 55
only 55? in the derelict freighter mission? did you loot all crates?
did you already turn in crew manifest+captains log to scrap dealer in the space station?
oh nvm, from that other quest gave me 500, total 555 now, what next ?
I did turn in the capts log and everything else
you need 600 though
Does anyone have tips on how to kill the eight corrupted quadrupeds? I was fighting the same group of sentinels for ten minutes and then when it did show up, i almost died many times
how do I get another 5?
you're going to need to run another derelict freighter mission
without submitting capts record?
don't escalate wanted level, see <#nms-expedition message>
Captain's log + crew manifest should net you 700.
huh? you want to unload both on scrap dealer
Wait. 500, sorry
hmm
I had 900 in my run. Captain's log + crew manifest + 400 from loot.
I flew around in my ship until I saw 1 shot it flew back to space and onto the anomaly to rid the wanted lvl and repeated
i turn in everything, need 500 more
I'm doing the hungering tendrils mission, Where can I find a planet that has them?
I don't believe any of the planets actually have them lol
how do you get more?
•hungering tendrils (worm babies): Wisbor XV (Breach 3 system Gaxaral)
thx
you're going to need to run another derelict freighter mission
omg doing the whole mission again?
it definitely took me somewhere! the glyphs must be different on my platform
they wouldn't be. what were the glyphs for?
well, yes.
it doesnt get to my base, but it will land you on a phase 3 planet
maybe I just made a mistake entering them, I'll try again
Does it say "Ruins" when I use the chart?
So the surge batteries you get are... just there I guess?
is there any other way to get tainted metal without have to complete the mission again?
500 of it? No, that's the quickest way.
need 5 more
||omg the boundary boss is my favorite type of animallll!||
I finished that by selling the captains stuff to the scrap dealer
