5th one this year uh huh, special circumstances I think
dam man
I was thinking its to build up hype for light no fire
Showing what new skills theyve learned from that game
there's the ps5pro release and hello games is coordinating something with that it seems
So how I bring the egg to my main game?
you don't. first off it's bugged so do not claim it regardless. when it's fixed you'll go to the quicksivler vendor to claim it like any expd reward
This expedition is very deep into NMS lore. It doesn't have anything to do with LNF
At least we will have to wait those two weeks
I didnt say lore wise
Ah ok
For what?
The boundary failure stuff doesn't really strike me as LNF. And we barely know anything about it at this point.
hello games working on enhancements for it I imagine. we'll find out
see the pinned mesage in here "DO bring..." for some ideas
Im not saying the lore is trying to connect lol
Im saying in terms of software, they are obviously having a massive step up recently
the end of the expedition.
The new water and wind physics, the crazy day and night cycle during the expedition
...which ends right at the PS5 Pro release.
I imagine some enhancements that take advantage of the Pro.
Thanks. What about multi tools and ships I get during another expedition? Do they go into "other" cargo section?
no, you will have the option to copy them back to the main save for nanite cost, the ship and mt that are equipped on the expd version of the save.
Ps5 pro enhanced nms lol thats cool i guess
How do I get to the expedition galaxies after I finished it? Couldn't make bases
Portal over there
Galaxies and systems are two different things
you can make bases in the expd, you get the base computer at the last milestone in phase 1
didn't tho sadly
a bug, you should have gotten it as a build option at the same time as a bunch of other blueprints for prefab rooms and such
So this is my first time using my main character to go into the expedition. i sent in a bunch of stuff and thought i needed to go to the space anomaly, im in space but i cannot summon the anomaly?
is this normal?
after you reach the second system (leave the starter system and get to the next one) you can summon it
yeah it sucks, guess I can't go back unless I warp to someone who has a base there in the anomaly?
Im at the third breach but i don’t know what to do anyone can help me ?
Second phase
the glyphs to all the systems are pinned in a message in here, you can use any portal in euclid to get to them
You need to leave the starting system first. Then you can summon the Anomaly
can you say which milestone it is please?
anyone know what font this is?
I don’t know what is a milestone it’s phase 3 sixth task
oh. "task" is milestone. what is the milestone name please? even translated I will be able to guess
Ohhhhh alright thank you yeah tryna hunt down a ship I fell in love with but first expedition so didn't save or clone it
try asking around #nms-modding
alright
You know what is it already as mentionned before it’s the sixth one the third breach
there aren't six milestones in that phase... Breach Three
Enter the third Portal <-- is it this one?
My bad it’s the Fifth but it’s name is the third breach
ok. so to get this to work: make sure you have no blood elixir in your inventory except the recipe wtih
at the end (don't make it now if you don't have it).... drink the elixir of glass.... go to the portal it marks.... make the blood elixir with
in the name if you have not already... interact with the portal, it should give you special dialogue like it did at the previous portals, and let you "use the blood" as the first portal choice.
heyy, so I'm on the quest where you have to kill 8 tentacles and the system I got teleported into doesn't have any infested planets, any help?
system name please?
Gaxaral
Wisbor XV is infested even if the log and whatever says there's no good planet
All done... Completed it off of my main on both Xbox and PC (Steam). It was interesting, but I don't like all of the messages popping up in my face. Cool looking ship at the end though!
hey so im in need of a friend.... with a portal... in the 3rd solar system
So I got one of those old space portals and I went through it and now I can warp around but I can’t find a portal any help?
what exactly do you need to do/complete what milestone?
first, clarify if you actually mean portal, or teleporter
A portal

- [Using Planetary Charts »](#nms-questions message)
- [Using Exocraft »](#nms-questions message)
- For uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that system via photomode, and portal to it from another system.
- To fully use the portal network, the player should have unlocked all 16 portal glyphs.
- A portal is not the same as a teleporter. See the differences here »

Go to #bot-spam and run!Faq-PortalGlyphsto learn about glyphs and!Faq-PortalUsefor using portals.
Thank you
honestly im probably fine cause its all phase 4n5 stuff but it just dawned on me the few other things i could have knocked out in that one system from phase4/5
@undone ridge mb - force of habit - if you've learned it already, use elixir of quicksilver to mark a portal
Ah alright done
but im struggling wiht the corrupted arachnid sentinals thats for sure
What glyphs should I use to get into the 3rd phase system?
@fringe sierra well, finding a portal isn't difficult at all, you have all the glyphs unlocked, here's a post with all the glyph addresses should you come to need it <#nms-expedition message>. also see <#nms-expedition message> for well known suitable planets
@undone ridge see post above
I'm in phase 4 Breach 4, I can't seem to get the portal to let me through
Or rather, it's not asking me to use the blood thing
as before, craft right elixir blood (note glyph at the end of the name) when asked to, hold it; then elixir of quicksilver to mark portal, and with the right milestone selected, interact with portal. do not hold any other elixir of blood types (of diff glyphs)
I dropped all my other elixers or blood and only have the rights one (the one I learned this phase (whale?)) portal is still asking for glyphs. I also have the milestone sleected. Do I need to do another quicksilver and try a different portal?
Yh not rlly the time to ask but what are yalls thoughts on expedition 16?
try that yes, while having the right milestone selected (breach 4). have multiplayer disabled. (if you had it enabled, save+reload from main menu after disabling it)
loved it.

@valid roost i want this anomaly suppress mechanic on some planets 😄
Tbh I would've loved to see some implementation of it thrown into the base game
Ooh and that lol
Like you interact with it and it js triggers a wave of boundary horrors or smth
Could maybe even be a new nexus mission
Anyone know how to beat corrupted sentinels? I'm trying to kill those quad things but the boundary failures and sentinels combo is destroying all my tech
I usually bring some carbon, oxygen and chromatic metal when I start an expedition, is there anything else in particular I should bring for this one?
So what’s the point of the egg the milestone gives you if you can’t transfer it over?
- goto space to full regen anomaly supressor, craft some elixir of glass before hand.
- goto anomaly, unlock paralysis mortar from MT research npc.
- stack 3 upgrade modules for primary weapon of choice
it's a phase reward: it gets unlocked account wide, just has to be claimed in any other save you wish to have it on, from the quicksilver shop/claim expedition rewards

❗ 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.

see <#nms-expedition message>
Would do that but no space station in breach 3 system
space anomaly can be summoned in any system
Yea I saw that bug about the egg which is why I was wondering why it can’t be transferred over as egg since hatching it would lose it
@tawny token use anomaly teleporter to teleport out to another station, just make sure to drop and claim a base comp in a breach 3 system planet so you can teleport back
even if you could transfer it (wasn't ever a thing), you would hit the same bug when hatching it anyway, unless you're on switch rn
Stock up on elixirs, paralysis mortar, max pulse spitter (or scatter blaster is what I go for, hits like a bloody truck)
It’s on my expedition save I didn’t go to the quicksilver counter the milestone gave me the translucent egg so I’m just worried I won’t get it on the other save
I got lucky today... Discovery services were down on Xbox so I didn't have to see all of the Comm Balls at the final marker! Yay!!!
Icl some of them are a bit annoying aren't they
like i said already.. the egg is unlocked account wide, as soon as you hit claim on that phase 3 reward badge.
Alr so I can just leave the egg in expedition save
Indeed... Very annoying when they are right on top of what you need or the political crap... I don't mind the ones that are respectful, helpful, or just say "Hello from location".
yes
;-;
idk how or why but all my saves for nms are corrupted i cant restore em
i was at the last phase for the expedition T-T
corrupted how, what makes you say that?
i cant load into my saves
My opinion,
It was a bit of a grind and wasn't too difficult, but you got around.
I must say I did get abnormally lucky with gear drops. Alot of S class stuff.
I'm still waiting for my alternative energy update 🙂
i crashed on the last milestone for phase 5
but what happens exactly? you get to main menu, play game option, select save, then what?
it just doesnt load
it tries to load it then it just hits me a shutdown rror
error*
which error ?
game encountered an error and will now shut dowm
where can I find a second exotic creature?
Check the Pins: •exotic creatures: •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)
so if you're in breach 4 rn, just leave the milestone behind, select the next one, progress till you get to breach 5
What system are you playing on (PC, Xbox, PS?)
pc
Steam?
I got the millenium falcon!!
this is a topic for #nms-questions i'd suggest
ye
easy dubs
do you need to do every quest to get the ship?
yap
yes
no optional milestones in exp16
Go to your Library, right click on the game, and select Properties.
Now select Installed Files and then click on Verify Integrity of Game Files.
Wait for that to finish and see if it helps.
ok

Yay!!! That's awesome. Happy Gaming!
wait for the devs to fix it
i just need to get pas the milestones again forgor to save my restore point frak
How i çan fishing when mobs attack me again an again ?
what kind of mobs
- you can make a shack
and fish in safety.
The ones from breach i don’t know their names my game is in french
is it possible that you have extra matierial from expedition you dont want?
boundary horrors; that's fine; when anomaly suppressor gets to 50%, get your ship, goto space, then fly back down.
I have thought already about this but it take a lot of time with no guaranty to get the required fish
Hey does anyone know if water breathing shields are effective during expedition?
The sea hazard proc seems to be calculated differently where you still need air, whereas other hazard protection stuff for planet storms are transformed into reality-weakening-whatever-its-called.
well, that's rng - and that's why i suggested making a small house to fish in: if you're sheltered, and have anomaly sup at 100%, you won't see any boundary errors spawning at all - it won't drain anomaly sup if you're sheltered
Done already but it’s not easy to make something correct in building mode
haven't tested, but i assume that will be the case unless they specifically disabled it
doesn't have to look good, just functional
"Maybe I am the Anomaly, can that voice really be trusted?"
That’s not the question of being good or not your’e out of the point now i have try already to make a shelter like but it was not really simple
what kind of difficulty were you having when building it? here's an idea that i've seen others use: drop a base computer near a shore, build floor panels making a pier above water, then at the end of it build walls, facing the water/"ocean" don't build a wall, and then a roof, go inside, that's it
finished the expedition finally! Im still going to stay in exped area, what interesting things to check here?
Where’s best for anomalous fish in phase three thanks
if you're still in expedition, then all you're really seeing different from other modes is boundary horrors, boundary strength failing when you let it - have you tried building "Anomaly Seal" in expedition and standing next to it?
@mild valley that's right sorry - if you build Anomaly Seal, it recharges your anomaly suppressor
check <#nms-expedition message>
What does it take to Map a system during an Expedition?
not yet, where do I find it?
You get it as a reward from one of objectives
Its basically a Heat Lamp like on derelicts but looks cooler and does boundary strength

in your build menu
after you've claimed it ofc
Oh ok thanks
How do you have time to play with the amount of time you're here answering questions! Thans for all the help!
Completed expedition and not sure about leaving. I started with my main save. My favorite ships on this save, is there a certain way I need to leave the expedition since it's my main save?
dont forget to transfer back stuff through anomaly
and active ship will be also available for purchase on the main save
for nanites
If the planet is a gamma planet, will hazard shields that protect against radiation extend the anomaly suppresser's duration by adding itself in front of it, or do shields for heat/cold/toxic/radiation not do anything at all?
Is the amount of ships we are allowed to have 12? If yes, I will be over that amount. Will I still get my new ship?
Exchnage one then
exchange*
or do you use em all as mobile cargo?
Still costs the nanites to do so tho
I actually only fly 3 of them, the rest are just sitting in the freighter.
Is it normal for a Supercell strom to absolutely just pick you up off the air, swing in the air, and slam you back down?
after back in primary save? i mean, you can just not claim it in that save for now, it will stay there forever, even after exp16 ends
extreme weather events added by origins update, tornadoes being one of them
tornadoes, electrical disturbances, meteor showers and gravitational anomalies
Oh my god wait so I was probably IN one of them then?
LMAO
hehehe
If a Star Trek ship becomes available, I'll be 'real' happy.
Yeah no I died by it. And almost died again by a different one lmao
Finally found a spot!
and guess what.. they do come for you.
That's insaane. I mever thought their were actual natural disasters-
WAIT THEY CHASE YOU!?
survey the surface from air
Where??(
look for a cluster with 4 or more
then land next to it.
remember that you can set fog to 0% in photo mode
@shy nimbus ^ start here and follow
Aight
The only thing I didn't like so far about using my main save was I can't go to my other bases until I complete it or quit. Are there any pros/cons to using your main save over another save you have?
Hey question, so I just finished the expedition and tried to use the new egg but it didn't spawn a creature and deleted my egg, I reloaded my save to a manual save a couple times and had the same issue, is the egg bugged?
well, the big advantage is the expedition terminus mechanic, if your primary save still has room for improvement. not just because of the items and copy ship/MT ability, but also because of the merge of currencies like units or nanites, often important to a primary aka main save still in development

copying your multitool and ship back and forth, transferring inventory to help out early in the expedition, earned money, nanites, and QS go back to main save
Well darn
@dusty elm sometimes in certain expeditions there's a reason to abuse the copy ship or MT mechanic, for example exp13 had iron vulture which we could actually get parts to ship build with out of it
Thanks for the info tho
i'm confident devs will fix it
i'm sure they don't want their creation to not be enjoyed by players
Yeah
Only one thing left in phase4 to finish doing. In the second image is the damage potential of my A class Gun, data which is from a neutron canon.
Unfortunately I might have to save edit myself a new egg
Every update breaks something else and it always gets fixed
Think I can one hit the spiderbots?

A value calculated by the game using multiple variables, including damage innate bonus. It's not a damage ceiling, and it's not how much damage any installed weapon system will do either.
Current tech inventory also factors in, albeit differently depending if multi-tool or starship.
- On multi-tool, only the strongest weapon system installed is included;
- On starship, all installed weapon systems are included.

welp ill just wait till someones willing to dup the ufo :/
You can dupe ships, why? Why dupe a ship? Cant you only use one at a time?
you'll do fine. i killed all 8 with this.
what's wrong?
I nearly died with similar stats a few days ago due to bots
almost willing to bet that you didn't have paralysis mortar installed
cant get past the portals
what portal, what phase.
Pulse spitter, 9k damage potential
damage pot means nothing to me, tbf
phase 1 having to redo stuff
@obtuse shell show me a build
I wish it just said damage per hit and hits per second
a build, you mean the full image of the Gun right?
sure
i thought your issue with loading the save was fixed.
here?^
it was but didnt realize that it didnt save any of my expedition progress
imo - this is overkill. get paralysis mortar, if you're scared of dying. perma stun them
I mean, like any other game that tells a player how strong their attack is
dont even have the rewards anymore
so does this one - when you shoot something, on the HUD
What I mean, is why isnt it on the menu?
is whatever
drifting offtopic, can't have that; imo, because devs don't really care about stats because they didn't make NMS to be a game that you need to be concerned about stats most of the time.
When does this expedition end?
||AHAHAHAHAHA I FIGURED IT OUT IK HOW TO TRAP THOSE STUPID SPIDERS||
if you goto main save, quicksilver shop, claim expedition rewards: is there anything from exp16 there?
Got it, so whats up with other people's expedition. Like the tasks being worked on I mean

you're working on large spiders next, i did suggest paralysis mortar unlock from anomaly/mt research npc; i think you'll do just fine, very safe, probably won't even need to use it (it can be equipped side by side your neutron cannon)
I might run the exp again
Let the bar fully empty it's neat like what Apollo was suggesting
||i build a dome around them then switch between stuns and firing till they deth- their brethren cant help them inside the dome and so they slowly lose the battle
||
Yea, on my way to get it
i used para mortar out in the open, controlling the battlefield, and did just fine too actually - hehe, i often kited floaters away first, then stunned spider and obliterated it
unstable plasma, the ammo for it - should be able to craft some already (double check), but can also be bought from trade terminals
Need to craft some metal plates but yes I can
also. would recommend supercharging pfield compressor instead of the base tech.
neutron cannon's an exception to rule of thumb
Done
sorry, the base tech.
Whats the reason?
noticed too late that you had core tech sc already
ty
Yeee I used that to stun them but it wasn’t enough so I decided to control it a bit more. It’s tedious but I tried for 3 hrs and only managed to get 1 before. I just got 2 within 20 mins of each other 😃
Am I cheating? A little bit but so are they
Anyway I changed one more thing and it got to 50k. Is this a lie stat wise about being better? Should I move it back to sc?
more per shot damage when compared to supercharging the core tech
see this post <#nms-expedition message>
Well I will test that one on the bots then, cya
if you see multitool damage pot rise, and in this case it's clearly neutron cannon in the lead here, it's neutron cannon and its upgrades that are affecting that damage pot number, then it should be better, yes. and the reason why it rised, is because you gave more adjacency bonus (1 more connected border) to a upgrade module
Guys, help, I don't understand how to complete the task In deep water?
So trying to do the artifact location mission, how do i add these batteries to the signal booster>? cuz it sends me to everything but the relic location, so i assume im doing it wrong?
just find an ocean at least 50u deep, and just float at the surface there.
how do i add these batteries to the signal booster
can't; use alien charts from the cartographer instead
we tried that, but it didnt count toward the 2 needed for the mission?
can't be buried ruins
Hey guys, I have a question
@shy geyser
@shy geyser so if you get a ancient ruin marker goto it but don't clear marker until you confirm that it's not a buried one, if it is, turn back around and fire another alien chart
spam use through errors
Finally, I already swam the entire ocean
Okkkaaayyy so I can recharge the anomaly supresser's bar by putting sodium in here
hah, that doesn't seem like it's intended at all
not at all
ok thanks. will go do that :). Were the batteries supposed ot be a way to make sure the signal booster only returned the right type for the expedition and were never fully implimented in the engine or somthing? why are they here?
they were used in a past expedition, i don't know what happened with exp16's signal booster
So during the cursed expedition, the egg sequencer at the anomaly shows that there’s an egg. After checking it, it showed an egg within the sequencer. However upon checking the description this shows up. Will this corrupt my save file if I keep it?
XD
delete it - don't take eggs from egg sequencer that you didn't put in, especially
can't be used anyway
item deleting is a useful tool
For the record I have done no modding. I’m playing from steam deck
Thanks for the advice
What exactly does it do in instances like this???
I ended up reloading my save instead of just keeping the egg as a safe measure
small question: both eggs i got were bugged, spawning nothing when hatched (talking about the rewards from the expedition, not one from sequencer) is that normal?

If you have the mats left in the exped save, to make Elixirs of Quicksilver, do it and bring them back to your main save. They still work to find portals, which could come in handy sometime.
(on a different angle of that note, if you started from new save/convert to normal after finish, all the blueprints remain known ofc)
i notice a number of UI glitch while doing the expedition, one example is like, when you fished something out, it shows you what's the last thing you put in your inventory. Example i made mealworm bait, when i fish something out, it shows me i caught a mealworm bait
yeah, notification desyncs, know of a few players who experienced that
So are you suggesting canon and paralysis? I am really struggling with the spiders. They take my shields down so fast and I’m near death every time. Not sure how Sunny built a dome around them to trap them. Just looking for help with how to do better against those spiders.
absolutely. para mortar for me is almost essential.
perma stun them
and they can't heal, can't hit you
and since you have para mortar equipped on alt fire
and your other weapon on primary
you're not even switching weapons see?
left mouse, right mouse button for alt fire
Oh wow, okay, thank you. I will try that next. Have never done that combo before. Was using personal shield and pulse spitter.
pspitter is my fav weapon
para mortar roots them down
allows me to hit more shots with pspitter
So para with pulse spitter works too?
para mortar works with everything
i mean
i think you really need to test it out
i don't think you'll want to leave house without it afterwards
Okay thanks a bunch! So much help bk much appreciate!
have fun dominating them
Hahaha! That would be nice!
just be sure to have unstable plasma - sold in station terminals
This is my first expedition, at the end do you have to buy the ship for 1400 nanites or refuse it and claim it in your main save?
claim it in expedition, you'll still be able to claim it in the main save after or even copy it via expedition terminus
@near cliff suggesting to claim it in expedition to ensure it does get unlocked account wide, just like all the other phase rewards before this
list of rewards unlocked account wide in exp16 <#nms-expedition message>
Thank you! Just wanted to make sure
Claimed it, beautiful ship
Stuck on the In Deep Water. Found plenty of planets with water just none of them are deep enough
If I completed the expedition but I want to keep this different save to help my buddy do the rest of Phase 4 and Phase 5, I can end the expedition until November 7? Or if I would like to send the stuff to my main save I have to go immediately to the anomaly?
goto space - look at a planet with water. see largest water body you can find. pulse straight to the middle of it. find an island in the middle of nowhere, not before making sure you've got launch thruster fuel.
Okay I’ll keep jumping around
right, you can indeed hold off on claiming at least 1 milestone (complete all, but don't claim all) - can claim everything else but 1, and that will let you stay in expedition and help friend if needed
something like this is what i'm thinking right
Kk
Oh no, I claimed everything, I guess I have to go to the anomaly. I almost Quit to Title screen I thought my save would remain still
wait. you started from existing save then, yes?
or did you make a new save?
how did you start the expedition?
The boundary horror mandibles cannot be recolored and it is a bit annoying
known bug, please report
!hg
You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
if on pc, there's a mod that fixes it
I started it from the anomaly in my main save, but now in expedition menu I see the option: "return to primary save" so I'm a little bit confused
ok ok. so

@near cliff in that scenario, for you to finish expedition, you need to tell it (the expedition terminus in the anomaly) to finish, basically.
the game won't ever auto force you back into primary, or auto finish if you will
so forget what i said about not claiming all.
(that is valid only for when a player started from new save; if they claim all, game automatically forces conversion to normal mode, and out of expedition)
Oh nice, okay, this cleared it up for me, thank you for your help, very useful informations! This game has a lot to offer and a lot to learn within it's systems:)
yeah, you know, 8years since release, lots of content piled up
anyways, always feel free to ask
I felt that way coming in with Waypoint, eternal empathy to newer players now.
if i refue the reward ship cuz i want to bring back the droid ship i found, can i redeem it later somehow? the saucer looking one.
Actually, you can change back and forth between the Expedition and your primary save at any time. In the options menu check out 'Return to primary save'. Then just go back to the Anomaly terminal when you are ready to resume the Expedition.
yes, you can, from the quicksilver shop/claim expedition rewards option, in any save under the same account you completed expedition in
ok great thanks 🙂
Maybe it's just me but this new ship is so big I have problems parking this thing 😂

So i declined it and it said "do you want ot permanantly deline this reward?" I choose claim later, i hope this was the right option, seems to be otherwise you ?never? get it?
Actually, unless they have changed it you can bring back multiple ships if you started the expedition off of your main. After completing all milestones it unlocks the ability to add items back to the terminal in the Anomaly. Load up the terminal and then ONLY use the option from the options menu to 'Return to primary save'. Then you can go to the terminal in your primary and empty it out as well as copy the ship and multitool. Hop in and out of your ship to create a restore point (just in case) and then return to the terminal and 'Resume expedition'. Now you can add more stuff to the terminal to copy back as well as change your active ship and multitool. Then use the options menu again to 'Return to primary save' and repeat as needed.
if you goto any other save with access to anomaly, in the quicksilver shop - claim expedition rewards. what do you see that's related to expedition16?
I only have 1 save, my main.
which is on the expedition righ t now
save, pause/options/return to primary
ok lemme check

can do this via ship or on foot; they're sometimes guarded by large spiders
I used the 3rd system and the grav balls, I would grab it, by wave 3 quad spider
or that too, if you want to escalate
ok yeah i see it is available from the quicksilver shop. thanks for the info, you always come in clutch when i come through here lol 🙂
not just me though 🙂
Elite Dangerous issues...
I also kinda…. Cheated I built a Minotaur with the AI computer…. A little extra firepower
Who is the jokester who's been trying to kill people with pits and ship snares when they enter the breach systems via the portals?
Tysm! That was literally a life saver! Love pm! All 8 down!
I enter the fourth breach system and when I go to take off my ship gets stuck in this clump of dirt some fool made
try to quick menu/scroll right/report base
There wasn't a base when I went and tried to report it
ok so reload if you're still stuck, walk away far enough, summon ship on the ground facing away from that monstrosity
geesh
why would someone just - lol 😅
Is there any reason to bring repair kits on this expedition? I'm about to start but I don't believe I've heard anyone mention repairing stuff being tied to objectives (outside of your starting ship).
i mean they're always useful to have in a pinch ofc, but yeah, not necessary
I managed to get my ship out of it
👍
@shrewd pollen did you see <#nms-expedition message>? some tips on what to bring
Yep, I'm using that for reference for the rest, plus some tips from a youtuber I like
what do we do with the bones? sell them all?
sell yep
k thx
iredesite, stuff that might have dropped from glowing minerals, buried caches
My friend thought the exact same thing
sell the elixirs too?
Use signal booster to find buildings! Finds a drop pod I don't need I can' tuse it again...lol
What and where is this ??
I'm happy that the final reward is an ||Explorer class||
started from existing save? might want to bring back elixir of quicksilver
- For the ancient ruins milestone, you need the ruins that do NOT have treasures to dig up (monoliths don't seem to work for some people)
just buy alien site maps for nav data instead.
Quick question: Best way to get salvaged frigate modules?
pinged in #bot-spam
can locate portals without the need to go through monoliths
you need to be on a dissonant planet
that one works.
I am
I'm planning on bringing each elixir back if I can, they'll be fun little souvenirs
yea but I find it funny if I interact wth the drop ship, I can' tuse signal booster at all anymore
oh ok, nice idea
Guess its a one time use on a planet? I am goign to space station
look for resonators, large spiders often guard them
Thank you
for the Stone Ghosts milestone, you dont need the signal booster. get 4 alien charts from the cartographer (exchange for specific charts; need nav data)
then in any gek/korvax/vykeen system, use a chart, wait for the marker, then aim at it. if it's a monolith, ignore it. use another chart, spam use through "similar location already marked" error
if it's a plaque, goto it.
yeah I am doing that, its just ingame it tells you to use it to find a building and I got a pod and then suddenly that booster is useless
Anyone have portal codes for the system in phase 3 of the expo?
Is anyone having issues with expedition multiplayer right now between Steam and Xbox? Can't seem to join the same game as my wife
it's a matter of location though - it may not be able to find anything within range too
also online doesn't work for me atm this is odd
Hello, same haha
I encountered an ancient gateway while pulsing to the 3rd phase portal and ended up 1000+ light years in another system?!
I mean I tried flying to a spot about 1k or so away
So... I can't figure out how to get back since we don't have a hyperdrive and my saves are all after that point.
see <#nms-expedition message>; If this is about the exotic creatures milestone, see:
•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)
@remote thunder no I'm trying to get back to the system where the 3rd portal is on the expo. I encountered an anomaly in space that was called the Ancient gateway and it warped me out of the system?!
sounds like you went through a relic gateway - should have ignored it as it's not an expedition objective, but i understand, you didn't know what it was.
I've got about 1000 hours into this game and I don't think I've ever seen one of these before so It was a new one on me.
gotcha.
then yeah, the linked post.
you could also use anomaly teleporter
there's probably bases there that say "exp16 - breach 1/2/3/4/5"
that said, relic gate is in fact available in non-expedition, has been for years now
Oh I'm sure it has I just don't remembing encoutering one before. And I'm surprised they still allow it in the expo since without portal codes to get back...you are boned at that point and would likely have to start the expo over.
Oh... I don't see any of the online stuff I'm playing on PS4 and not a PS+ subscriber so I've not seen any comm balls on this expo which is really surprising.
uh so I just saw this egg and hatched it and nothing? I went into register and nothign in there is interactable
I've not seen any comm balls on this expo which is really surprising.
this is unrelated to multiplayer matchmaking. this is related to <pause/Discoveries, lower left/the state of the connection to the ODS server>

Are hyperdrives disabled for the expedition? Or just unnecessary because you use portals to get to the different phase systems?
we just don't get a hyperdrive through milestones at all, and starter ship doesn't have one either, because the theme of the expedition: portals. travel through expedition systems is done through portals, albeit not in the usual way you're probably familiar with.
pretty cool.
not have to worry about warp range or whatever.
personally, i had been hoping for something like this for a long time.
i loved stargate when i was a kid, still do.
Thanks! I suppose it is a more focussed way to do the expedition
Need to find hypnotic eyes, I’m in the 4th system
Also introduces new folks to portals, which are normally an end game activity, which you can unlock before endgame, but still
any planet with water, look for exclamation marks for abyssal horrors
Doesn't it need to be deep water?
nah
Someone tagged me something and I can’t find it
seen abyssal horrors spawn as low as like 10u deep
Wow, that's shallow. I usually only see them in deep water
lol 3 charts used and its the gek ruins that don't count
not sure i get the question - another player tagged you something? as in, selected an object?
when you aimed at the marker the chart added, did it say monolith?
Me dying a lot against the spiders
yea but I know it has a little bit of weird dialogue with a choice so its a bit fun
listen - seriously. take my advice. goto anomaly. unlock paralysis mortar. install it. buy unstable plasma from trade terminal.
Alright
if I just use another chart will it work and ignore the artifact it just found?
nope got it again
"alien artifact" marker should work actually. is that what you got?
heading there now
got what again?
no, they'll be 2 diff kinds of building
may share the icon
anyways
@midnight falcon when you get close to marker, don't clear it - if it's a buried ruin, ignore it, turn back, use another chart

okay landing annoys the living daylight out of me
First ever death in the game, after about 2 years. A tree popped in too close to avoid and I could not reverse off it. I singlehandedly destroyed legions of sentinels, rid solar systems of bug infestations, fished fish as big as your dad's arm out of seas as deep as a nick cave lyric.
Killed by a tree.
I can land my ship submrged in water or upside down..but nto on landpads that are green or flat surfaces..I have to spin and hit something for those to work lol
I cant even find the reward to claim
that should be there to claim in the qs shop/claim expedition rewards ofc - there's even a dedicated filter for each expedition, inc expedition 16
is it possible to salvage any interceptor ships on planet Tarum 95/E1, or no?
Yeah I'll check again, but it isn't there for me.
nope, uncharted system, no ships spawn there
plenty of other milestones that can be completed in the system though
even from phases ahead
in what save? did you claim the phase reward in the expedition, surely?
I did expedition on a fresh save, then again on my main.
And i did claim it, I had to in order to complete it
should be available; "claim expedition rewards" option, set filter to expedition 16, double check
At the space station you said it called unstable plasma?
unstable plasma will be paralysis mortar's ammo yeah
thanks 🙂 🙇♂️
Found it, I was looking under the wrong option the whole time 
Thanks
But I'm just not gonna claim it for now, until the bug is fixed
Hey all, I'm playing the expedition through my main save and was wondering if I claim a ship from a previous expedition (say Utopia Speeder) for use during this expedition, will I still be able to claim it later when I'm actually playing my main save? I'm assuming so, but didn't want to screw myself over accidentally.
TF you mean searching, I am right here. I cant start phase2 of the bots and am having issues finding the quads already spawned. What do I do?
do the forbidden multitool modules upgrade every weapon?
wait for the hunting to end and attack a different sentinel
This is the 7th. I kill the small bots, the swarm multiplier message happens for a second or two, and then no sentinals can see me for some reason
Still can’t find water in the 4th system!
uhh, am I suppose to kill em all or not?
I cannot progress past the "metal bones" milestone because no matter what I do all of the derelict freighter I enter, after going through the airloco I just fall straight through the floor :/
because they're spawning too far away. personally, i didn't use this exact strategy. i only engaged in combat if there was a large spider guarding a resonator. if there wasn't i just moved on to another resonator
finally, one works
That’s an issue with the games collision system unfortunately, it’s happened for years :(
I know I've been waiting for them to fix it
what platform are you on, and do you have multiplayer enabled? i went through my derelict absolutely just fine, steam pc
when i was doing this part i spawned them myself by getting my wanted to status to 5 a couple times
Ps4, tried both online and offline
Don’t progress the sentinels, just go and find the resonators and they’ll spawn with spiders
restart console, clear console cache.
Where do i find the cache
dont run the game from external storage if you're doing that/don't recalal if it's possible
And what daya will be deleted
It breaks it?
No way they can find me now that I burried myself six feet underground and patched the hole
full shutdown, unplug power cord for 2minutes, plug it back in
Is there a water planet in the 4th system?
Oh I've already done that
it could very well explain the slowlessness loading assets of the game.
So all the assets load fine, I just fall through the floor
Okay so how common/rare is it for them to spawn with the spiders? Cuz I have seen way too many that dont have quadspiders
Dont think so. There is for sure in 5
Like if I shoot the ground where I fall it hits it
But when I walk on it I fall throufh
goto space - shouldn't be hard to identify
Ok thanks
same deal.
assets, colision/geometry
anyway
up to you.
don't know, i'm on pc; try checking this link https://www.playstation.com/en-us/accessories/storage-solutions/
Okay
i found 8 within 20minutes

Yea I just got my last one. Finally. Finding the last one took wayyy longer than finding the first seven.
Yea thanks for the warning
I knew about it, and will just wait to be told officially that issues are gone
Ohhhh, okay thats better
@remote thunder I think I found something which works, I have to turn on multi-player open the door seal and then turn it off
HINT for VR players. I was struggling with the milestone where you have to look at the sky for 60 seconds. No mater what I did, the counter would not start. I finally went in 2D and it worked liek a charm. Not sure why VR didn't work. My assumption is that any little head movement shuts it down, or it doesn't recognize you are looking at the sky.
gtk, thank you 🙂
gtk thank you 🙂
You're welcome. VR has it's pluses, but sometime, just sometimes ... ... ...
(core warping still not fixing i heard)
Not sure what that is.
galactic core warping in order to get to the next galaxy on the list, never done that before?
Oh OK. I've switched galxies before. Can't remeber if it was via the core though.
Okay now I have a new issue, while on board the derelict freighter I cannot recharge my thermal protection as it is recognizing it as the anomaly suppressant and when I charged the anomaly suppressant it just ate the elixir and nothing happend
there's a few other ways to do so, so maybe not
look for emergency heaters
Thanks
How does one find an alien ruin?
This is a terrifying infographic I think my brain just split in 10 different directions trying to read it 😭
Easiest way is to go to the cartographer on a space station and buy alien cartographic data
You can find the two navigation data necessary simply look in the space station
👍
the right kind of ruins: <#nms-expedition message>
They always have a couple lying around, whether in orange cubes or other things
phase 4 milestone 1 rewarded x20 nav data
@undone ridge when/if you get "similar location already marked" error after having ignored monolith/buried ruin markers currently still on screen: just spam use till it goes through
This it right ?
yep, absolutely
g
going to use blaze jav against them?
I’m..not sure ..
I’m just following what you told me
post a screenshot of the full MT inventory
so you were planning on using plasma launcher, is that it?
So about that
but it's not fully installed yet, so you'd have to take care of that first.
Well.. the scripting appears to be messed up now.
I got confused when you said unstable plasma and bought the wrong thing
ah ok
I'm back in the breach 3 system but the portals keep taking me back where I came from.
discard it then
save+restart game
@quick tusk do you like pspitter?
I’m not sure either
Yo are these the ruins I need? I used a map to get here
Cuz I just dug one up for the prior seven minutes so it floated in the air and that didnt count as locating it
shoot off a few rounds with it. phase 3 milestone 2 rewarded you with 1 s-class pulse spitter upgrade, is that what's installed here?
no, they're not; ignore marker, fire another chart
Does anyone have the glyphs for the current expedition? The picture I see floating around isn’t complete
I've just claimed the final Milestone of the Expedition!
Wrong type of ruin, you need the one with knowledge stone
Dang, how many charts am I gonna need on average? I only started with 12 and am now down to 10.
this post is <#nms-expedition message>
only 4
How do i unmark it so I can use another map?
ok. did you claim phase 3 milestone 2 yet? did you visit space station of the starter system?
Let me check
that's exactly it: charts mechanics is that it cannot mark the same POI type twice; so if you use another chart, it can't ever mark buried ruins again.
Did you buy ancient ruins or ancient artifact maps?
and yes, from the start, we said ALIEN charts, not dig sites.
Actually its loot
wrong chart.
This happened a couple of expeditions ago. It's to do with horizon placement in Vr. Build a staircase into the sky so that when you look out "flat" your default horizontal is above the horizon.
Or... You know... Slum it in 2d 😉
okay so I got the wrong one, thanks for correcting me :D
Thank you!
BTW my Gun takes three fully charged hits to kill a boundry horror. How are others dealing with the phase5 boundry horrors?
like a pspitter clip - but i had nowhere near that setup
pulse spitter
Is it this one ??
If I rearange the tceh I can get a pulse spitter around 10k DP, still trying to find where we see the damage per second with rapidfire stuff
how do i pluck hypnotic eye
that's the one
let it open its eye looking towards you then shoot it/mine it in the eye
ahhh thank you
How do I make a bunch of an item at a time. Like I wanna craft ten metal plates and then ten unstable plasma
now that thats installed, move the pspitter core tech and the pspitter upgrade module into the 2 supercharged slots
click on a free cargo slot, cursor over item you want to craft, press D to craft more (iirc on controller it's using the bumpers but it's been a while), press craft when happy

I think my game is messed up..
I saved... exited and restarted nms and the petals are already activated still.
that's a known "bug", not specific to expeditions
And they take me back to the starting planet it looks like.
are you tracking the quest in the expidition thats literally what I had to do to fix that
what milestone do you have selected, what elixir blood type do you have on you atm?
So the 3rd beach portal isn't taking me to the 4th location it seems..
Phase 3: 
is that the elixir blood you've got on you?
and it's the only one you've got? no other types?
The portal pedestal doesn't come up when I approach because the portal is already active. I hear the sound like it coming up from the ground but it isn't.
okay. save+reload, try again. if still nothing, goto another planet in the same system, use another elixir of quicksilver.
LOL Hadn't thought about doing that. How did you do the floatie thing. I had to go 2D sluming for that as well.
Another not for VR users. I had to do this for the float milestone as well. Couldn't do it in VR 2 minutes in 2D
There are two portals. The one I came in from to get back here on the planet Tarum
Phase 4 says to discover 2 exotic creatures, but theres only one on the exotic planet in the system. Is there another exotic planet later or am I missing something?
there's a portal on every planet
The one I think I'm supposed to investigate for milestone breach 3 is the one on Todai
But both of them are active already and take me back to the starting planet.
I got 2 on one planet, which I didn't think was possible. I think it was on Rendezvous 2
but are you in the starter system right now?
breach 3 has more than 2 planets.
Can we go back to the previous rendezvous systems?
if you visited the station when available or dropped and claimed a base computer yes - or ofc, if you portal back.
No I'm in Gaxaral currently
Not sure. If you put a base there, yes. Not sure oabut portals. - What @remote thunder said.
can use portals normally too, just can't have the breach milestones selected
psa if you have base in the expedition, do not reupload it in on your main save, it will destory it for everyone still doing the expedition
I have two quicksilver elixirs left from the batch I made.
okay. so do this. go to a different planet, not any of those two. then delete all blood elixirs (double check ship inventory too), then save+reload, and drink a quicksilver on that 3rd planet you've not been to yet. where's the marker at? on this same planet?
that's most likely correct, since only 1 uploaded base per planet per account
gtk confirmation, if you tried it 🙂
I have one of each of the blood elixirs on me. But I won't be able to make the 3rd breach elixir if I delete them I don't think?
no no no
you do not want
to have
multiple types of blood elixirs on you
only the type for the phase you're doing
3rd breach elixir
you should be able to craft all elixirs of blood up until whatever phase you reached
but if you want to progress breach 3
then you need only to have, nothing else otherwise you'll confuse the portal, elixir of blood 
Okay I will delete all but the one needed..
I'm on the redacted planet where I picked up the fish. I've landed to hate a save and reloading it now.
Ohhh, thx
On other topics, I guess I am about to do the eltritch part of the expedition
When I select breach 3 from the expo milestones it just tells me to indirect the portal. So it is already active it seems.
tells you to "indirect" sorry?
just drink another quicksilver anyway.
does the fourth rendezvous have an exotic world?
yes, and rdv5 does too; rdv3 did as well
I drank it.. and it just highlights the one that was already active.
Has to be the right one as there are about 100 Comm balls around this portal.
hmm. technically, you could leave this system, and find another portal anywhere else, and still do it.
But it was already active when I got here.
this is that bug when we portal in
i've seen it before
pesky
stubborn
i've seen it persist game restarts before, i've seen it persist game reloads, warp outs and back ins
won't release portal
you do have multiplayer disabled, right?
Ya know how sometimes there are messages that pop up in blue and are in quotes? Where do those come from. Not talking about the onces that are in chat as A Voice.
One that popped up was extremely NSFW -_-
@iron bone i'd say build a base computer in this system just in case, teleport out through anomaly, then teleport back in and recheck portal. if that didn't work, then trigger out of range state using anomaly bases (see this post for that <#bot-spam message>
hopefully ODS will stay up for long enough
@iron bone alternatively, teleport to another system like the starter system, then with the breach milestone selected, drink a quicksilver. we've discovered that the portal we're using doesn't matter, what matters is the kind of blood that we have on us to offer it+what milestone is selected
RQ, how do I carry items in my inv back to my existing save?
I saw someone with a menu that had the items they said they were taking back
This is from Liquidators but should work the same way
when you're done with all milestones, you'll head to anomaly, and interact with expedition terminus. read what it tells you on the UI, type !faq-expedition in #bot-spam , see ending an expedition
claim the final expedition reward, the ship, yes
but no need to goto quicksilver shop or anything expedition side
K, three quests left
Soooooo, I spawned in the water, close island has ship and building to enter. Only carbon on island, no other resource. A good 15 min swim to next island which has ferrite but die there. Spawn back at ship. I see an endless loop. I started from main save. Is my only recourse to restart from a fresh save?
no, there's a way, but you'll have to make use of things in your ship, dismantling some installed tech to get some mats
for example, if you dismantle rocket launcher, it will give you copper and condensed carbon
if you complete phase 2 fear the sun, you'll get prebuilt personal refiner mk1
Okay—so is the best place to find those arachnophia is near those echo locator things ?? Is there another way of finding them? Thing is —I’m struggling to see them
Out of curiosity - day1 or on current patch?
@fierce aspen if you dismantle photon cannon core tech, you get pure ferrite for launch thruster repair; there's also a repair kit in your ship's cargo, use it for the metal plate repair. there's also 1 dihydro jelly in ship.
they're massive, you can't really miss them, if you're playing with mp disabled just enter photo mode and look around
Wait is that’s why it’s the game is sluggish?? And tanks my hardware??
mp enabled? most likely, yes
I double checked and Cannon supposed to give me pure ferrite. What I actually got was 100 copper and 50 condensed carbon... WTH...
This whole freaking time I’m like why the heck my battery draining so fast
Couldnt they fix that issue with dedicating more servers to the expedition?
That's how I got all of mine in <5min
Cost money I guess
rocket launcher gives you copper and carbon ime - did you try dismantling other stuff?
Which means I could have finished this expedition in one day
Found one of these mirror-sites, saw two Spiders around it, plopped down a save-beacon, killed one, reloaded 6 times and was done :)
You'd think they could have planned ahead, its not like they dont know the amount of people who jump on for new expeds, shoot they just had one a couple months ago
@fierce aspen use the repair kit in your ship to fix launch thruster then, dismantle scanner stuff for ferrite dust?
Hey uhh, I saw I could copy my multitool. I clicked that before adding items. I fked myself didnt I
when you're in here, in expedition, those two buttons, are copying the stuff you had in your primary save, equipped, when you started expedition.
you don't copy them from here into primary
what? okay so why are the slots locked
because you haven't completed everything yet
Question, is it a known bug that trying to change the size of the transparent bioluminescent companion causes the game to break?
wats not complete
It’s egg of course, in the egg sequencer
all platforms except switch are going through a worse bug - they can't even get the pet after hatching it

❗ 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.

haven't completed and claimed all milestones, phase and final exp rewards
Found it. Didnt claim elixer of water recipe? But I craftd it and used it and fought the jelly...
Oh damn, I assume this is hopefully getting resolved in the next day or so yea?
Got the complete message.
no idea when, we're not devs, but yeah we hope soon
🤞
Thank you very much!!! This worked. I was able to fly to a close camp and land. Now to hunt for resources. 👍
Help
not possible, never was. is that the translucent spawn companion egg though?
When is this expedition running until?
yea, so how do I get the egg on my existing save then?
you'll be able to claim it from the quicksilver shop/claim expedition rewards option after you're back in primary save

Expedition 16: The Cursed 
Event ends <t:1730977200> (<t:1730977200:R>)
See Pins
in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam
so wait, after earning it with hard work I then still have to save up for and buy it?
Wow short one
I liked it, got a bit OP with my weapon but it was sure fun.
cursed end in 10 days?
Wasn't it only started a week ago
Also, who here wishes the forbiden multitool upgrades didnt specify a weapon and instead just helped your strongest weapon become stronger? Cuz it seems like a waste to limit it to the most boring weapon
4 days ago I think
usually expedition last a month
need to find time soon to do it I guess
I mean cool is one thing. A 2 week time frame is cutting it close for some people. Some only have a short amount of time to game each week
Wait, the phase4 reward is or isnt given to the player when they leave?
this one yep, just 14 days to do it
like i said - it's unlocked account wide
just like every other phase reward.
you'll see.
what "account unlock" means is that it's not tied to a save in specific, it's tied to your account
any save you have or make owned by this account will be able to goto anomaly qs shop/claim expedition rewards option, and claim all that stuff
Hey so how do I get the ship after leaving, it isnt in the menu where I switch what ship is docked
oh, I think it was a sync error. I have it now... sorta? It does not have the right name
because you copied it
Isnt that how you get it?
be able to goto anomaly qs shop/claim expedition rewards option, and claim all that stuff
see it there?
at the top?
but the one you have rn, is the same ship
just game doesn't copy name in
Kay so I found the nexus and the synthisis thing. Also it isnt on the top
dang
third option, not first
not the synthesis thing, the quicksilver shop, claim expedition rewards
sry, was dumb
Hey so do I claim the egg or not claim it? I heard there were bugs from just having it in your inventory
can claim it, but don't hatch it - so no point claiming it now imo.
Anyone else system locking up going through the first portal on the expedition? It doesn’t lockup just never really finishes
In the 3rd system which planet is the exotic one I can't find it
I checked all of them
possibly due to portaling to a system with lots of uploaded bases. i'd suggest just waiting till it goes through for now. we've seen reported loading times of 10+ minutes sometimes so you see. that said, turning off internet would make portaling near instant, as game would be unable to connect and just work with data on disk
the planet with gold on resource list, Todai
There is no todai...
open discoveries list, system view where all the planets are, post a screenshot.
try to jetpack up, report a nearby player base if there is one
you said
In the 3rd system which planet is the exotic one I can't find it
however:
Breach 4
System: Rocangh
@strange ivy :
- Hijo 13/W8 (1 life form, Breach 4 system Rocangh),
- Dupraie T47 (webbed moon, 1 life form, Breach 5 system Umardag)
jetpack didnt work but terrain manipulator did
Thank you
I think I'm just going to have to restart the expo...
i didn't mention it because i figured there would be another player base there and you'd not have terrain delete perms lol
All new portals just have me activate them and want portal glyphs.
did you try triggering out of range as i mentioned?
I have to complete breach 4 to finish the milestone in phase 4?
"what milestone in phase 4"? title please
Triggering out of range?
Genetic glitch
the post i linked you to earlier.
no, you can move on to breach 5 and complete genetic glitch there
Okay
I'm in a completely different system right now and was trying your other idea of going to a previous system to activate a portal with just the breach 3 elixir on me.
But none of these portals are taking it and just want standard glyphs.
actually, going to ping you in #bot-spam
Do you reload save point or auto save ?
It doesn't matter. I'm playing on the PS4 version so I can only save when I enter and exit a ship to create a restore point. Otherwise, I'm at the mercy of autosaves.
restore point is updated when you exit your ship for example, auto save is an actual automatic save that triggers every minute

they weren't replying to you actually
Oh... my mistake.
So here is what I've tried at this point, I'm on my PC now so I can type faster without fighting the auto correct on my damn phone.
Okay I’m still getting kill here..
I've created a base on the redacted planet which doesn't have or doesn't show a portal. I only have two portals that appear for me in the breach 3 system.
also - feel more than free to take a break now, and come back later. i'd even restart pc, just in case there's some resident memory that needs to be cleaned
I'm playing the game on the PS4...
How long do I have less before this event is over ??
to trigger out of range, you'd be using anomaly teleporter itself.
anyway... I went to the anomoly and teleported to a previoius system.
10d
I then used the quicksilver elixer to give me a port which it did. but that portal like all the others I've tried, just wants glyphs and doesn't ask for the elixers.
Fan!
ok i get it - never mind that now. do what i'm suggesting. teleport 4K LY away, till you see the restart using nearby structures button the mission Log- like the post i pinged you with in #bot-spam explains
Fudge
None of them... the only one that would have asked for the elixer is the one that keeps highlighting for me in the Breach 3 system. But when I visit it, the portal is already active and the pedestal does NOT come up for me to interact with it.
And using that portal just takes me back to the starter system that the Expo begins on...?
Does this look good for entering the expedition bk?
I know the ship won’t have the cargo, and won’t have use of hyperdrive
The MT has pulse weapon, which is what I’m used to, also stuck SB on it just in case. I don’t have enough tainted metal so I guess I’ll have to run derelicts
I have tech packaged for: rocket boots, mk2 refiner, launch autocharger, hazmat gauntlet, and cold protection (any other tech I should bring?)
I’ve got plenty of resources I think, probably too much. Stuff for units and nanites. Anything you’d trade for something else instead bk? The cargo in my exosuit is what I was planning to take to the expedition
(I did read the pins)
So any names of the space stations pinged? I thought there would have been something referencing which space station is from an expedition like liquidators but I don’t remember which ones
And I made sure to stop at them too
no need for the hazmat gauntlet
nah, i think you got it yep
I guess the hazmat sometimes is recommended if other people grow stuff for you to sell at bases🤷♀️
So any names of the space stations pinged?
not sure i get the question
What am I supposed to be searching for when doing the Stone Ghosts milestone? So far I've gone to a monolith (the kind that gives you portal coords at the end) and several artifact ruins, and the completion of this hasn't gone up
no monoliths, no buried ruins

If a chart type e.g. Alien can locate 3 building types, then to guarantee that you find the building you want you will need to obtain as many charts e.g. 3 Alien charts
-
If the first chart you use doesn't mark the building type you need, do not visit it.
-
Spam Use as many charts of the same type as needed, until you have the HUD marker to the building type you need.
The message "Similar location already marked" appears when a chart tried to mark a building type that is already marked on the HUD - ignore it and spam Use chart key/button until it goes through.
Additional Notes:
- Outlaw space stations do not spawn cartographers.
- The message "Locational interference detected" appears when a chart is used in an Uncharted aka Uninhabited system.

Thanks!
@muted mortar see <#nms-expedition message>, these will count
The pinned locations don’t say, any other hazard or exosuit tech useful?
To bring with
well you could bring underwater upgrade possibly, you already bringing cold hazard... nah, you'll be fine
@remote thunder I appreciate the help, but I'm not following what the process you are showing does exactly? does it somehow reset the portals? Because it seems to me that what happened on my game, is that I found that relic gateway thing when I was pulsing and when I went through it, it completely broke the expo scripting and the game is essentially just playing like normal now?
I know expeditions tend to give you most stuff you’ll need
I know I could just use glyphs to go the 4th system, but then I wouldn't get the milestone for the 3rd breach. So frustrating...
Like the space stations from the cursed expedition? I wanted to teleport to them but I can’t cause I don’t remember the names, I was hoping it would’ve been laid out like liquidators with something like “rendevous” but all I see is names
So was wondering if they were pinged here
Pinned
the milestone currently has 1 portal selected, targetted. there's a failsafe if you will, a failsafe mechanic that allows a player to, when their current position is more than 4000LY away of the target location, get a button in the mission Log that allows them to restart the currently "out of range" mission to a nearby location. that's what is shown in this image:
The best you could do is make a base in each system and label it for your own future purposes. Tbh I don’t even make bases in all “rendezvous” systems anymore, because there are some many expeditions a year but that’s how you could do it (just be sure if you don’t have a base, visit each space stations in each system, and if it doesn’t have one, make a base there)
Oh well..it is late for me currently so I'm out for the night now. Will see if anything changes tomorrow after it has had time to hopefully reset things due to time. But I know that all my games in the past when I created restore points after activating my portals, they had a tendency to still be active when i restored them even days later.
fwiw, i assisted someone fixing this very issue with this very failsafe.
iow, i'm hopeful.
I've never heard of that failsafe before? So you are saying that if I warp to an outside system like a featured base or something...
exactly, if it gets you >4K LY away
the game will then give me an optioin to restart the current objective in the current system I'm at?
I can’t teleport to the space stations tho? I landed on them like in liquidators and those transferred
yeah
don't know sorry - just portal back
@remote thunder I've never heard of that and I know for sure I've done similar stuff and literally had to backtrack my ass back to systems. I've spent hours just warping to get back to places because I don't recall seeing anything like that before.
we've been using this for ages
it used to be >10KLY
the devs changed it to 4K
Well... let me warp out to a featured base on the community and see why my logs say...
the reason why you've most likely never seen it is because you keep good track of your mission objectives
I mean..see what my logs say...
you may need to try other bases too, if the first one doesnt do the trick - just resummon anomaly again and teleport again
remember to wait for a few seconds after teleporting
to give the game time to recalc, register
wait for the hint to pop lower right
then open Log
I remember how happy i was when I finally saw they added portal glyphs to locations I'd found in the past. When I first started the game years ago, i found a planet that was 99.8% perfect but never explored it. Didn't know about it until years later when I saw it was in my discovery list. It took me forever to get back there because by then, I'd explored other galaxies and the like LOL.
Let me check it out real quick....
in any case, it's also late for me, so we can just pick this up tomorrow if needed
Goodnight bk
