I can’t complete the “In Deep Water” milestone. I’m “swim” floating above water over 60u deep and the counter won’t start. Am I doing this wrong?
Meaning I’m floating above the surface of the water while my character does the “swim” idle animation. I’m not moving, but the timer won’t start
It’s 62+ units deep, so this doesn’t make any sense
Oh wait! I found a spot where it’s working. Weird
@remote thunder That did the trick! I never knew about that!
Maybe it was waves or something
I teleported to a featured base and the mission notification stating the target system was distant and to go to the log to restart it in the current system.
Cool. Got it. nvm lol
doing that, I was then able to use the quicksilver elixer to show me a portal. and that portal took the blood for the breach 3 milestone as needed.
So looks like I'm back on track in the next system... nice!
TRAVELLERS!!
Does anybody know why my base won't seem to "close"?
It's got floors. It's got walls. It's even got a roof!
And they're all connected to each other.
But I can't get it to freakin' close
so I don't count as being exposed to weather
and subject to a constantly-draining Boundary.
Has that always been the case? I'm sure I've built larger bases than that before.
phase 4 is a slog
hypnotic eyes, 2 derelicts worth of salvaged metal, multiple waves of corrupt sentinels, finding an ocean deep enough to just sit in it for a minute
I've completed the 3 non-story phase 5 milestones attempting to beat phase 4, so once these phase 4 things are complete it's a straight ride of dialogue to the end
i can't seem to get the Stone Ghosts mission to work... i've bought a couple artifact charts and gone to 2 ruins and they don't seem to count
you don't want dig site charts, it's alien cartographic charts
and using the signal booster as suggested never work for ruins
well jeez when it tells me to look for ruins, i looked for ruins
yeah, took me a bit of trial and error to find out what it wanted
do I need to go to the coords by foot? How do I even tell where I am at
wait ship lefts die
I like all the unique stuff of this expedition like the boundary failures, voices in your head, children of helios appearing in the upper atmosphere, day and night cycle going really fast, etc
but the actual missions are so painful, it's worse than the fishing was, at least then i could relax
Question, once you end an expedition with your main save, do you lose the bases you created during the expedition?
no, they get transferred to your main save
Thank you! I was worried that that only applied to new saves created for the expedition
Are pets kept as well? Or are those lost??
As outside the expedition I have pets from previous expedition
On that main save
why does landing not work land pad is green and I am snail pace due to holding reverse
not sure about pets, i can't remember any of mine ever carrying over but that might also just be because my slots are typically full
I know you can bring eggs back if you want to recreate your pet
Do I need to full speed boost into the ground
if land pad is green you should just be able to press E and it'll land you on it
not sure what the xbox button is, but whatever you normally press to land
I’ll make sure they lay eggs before I end the expedition! Than you
half the time I have top smash into something at slow speed or be nearly upside down
when do i get access to the anomaly in the new expedition?
I'm stuck on beyond death phase 2 and I need one more bones artifact, but the radar sweep keeps bringing me to a buirial site with no more bones :/ Any ideas? Do i have to go to a completely differnt side of the planet?
Fly about a 1000 units (or some distance away) from your current location. Land and engage the analysis visor, don’t rely on the target sweep. Look for a golden wi-fi signal using the analysis visor, there will be two types of wi-fi signals— white and gold.
I think after going through your first portal, since you can't warp which when you would typically unlock it
ok thx
Tip for floating in deep waters
- Find any water body with some depth (about 20 units)
- Dig a tunnel directly underneath you while you are in the water body.
- Keep that particular milestone selected to check how deep you have dug the tunnel, cycle theough the mission (H on Pc) tips to come back to that milestone tips.
- Your mission will be completed when you have dug a tunnel 50 units or so deep.
-# You can knock out this milestone and gazing at the stars milestone in one go.
Yeah.
Especially during the re-initialization part.
did they buff corrupt quads?
they keep killing me in a single volley of attacks (3 nades)
Strafe sideways to avoid their attack.

So this still going?
Hey guys, so I'm really struggling with these arachnid sentinels. I have literally everything else done except this one.
I don't wanna ask but in the mindset of finishing this off before the work week starts I'm gunna.
If im in a party with people and we kill the arachnids together will that count it. Also.... anyone wanna join me?
just finished it myself
major hint, minotaur
minotaur damage is still pretty high without end game upgrades, whereas multitool weapons are pretty useless against these corrupts without full s class
now I just need to find a 2nd exotic creature and salvage another derelict
Ill look into that but
Tbh my main issue is this TBI and my cognitive issues......
I'm not the greatest shooter
So I scrapped the hull of the new expedition ship but didn’t get it, is it a bug or what I looked in my inventory but couldn’t find what the game was telling me
And i checked the fabricator
as far as I know you aren't meant to get it
I thought iron vulture was the special exception since it came with the update of ship building
all previous expedition ships don't give unique parts for being scrapped
Yes Sean Jr, it is still going
Here's an easy way to do so. Go to any player made quad hunting base, fly and look around for Sentinel quads, blast em with rockets, rinse and repeat. And if Interceptors are causing trouble, enter the anomaly.
The key issue for new players while fighting quads are the healing drones, they can outheal your damage if you don't have enough DPS.
I just made me a minotaur geobay, no need for fancy bases. The cannon with 0 upgrades takes them out even while they heal
The multitool I copied had a stunning blaze javelin, an upgrade that boosts my damage against stunned enemies, and 3 S Class pulse upgrades and ricochet module.
So what I do walk up to them MENACINGLY ゴゴゴ, Stun em with blaze javelin, switch to pulse spitter and kill em in one mag.
K ill try that
If you summon sentinels to fight them you will be fighting against those annoying mini-quads as well. They don't do much damage but DAMN do they throw off my aim.
I'm not so much new. I played nms since the day the game was release. I just haven't played in quite some time.
I Aldo have horrid hit ratio..... I swear I'm missing 50% or more
Brother I play with a 3rd party controller, my aim is non existent unless I am at close range
Idk if it's 3rd party but I use a switch pro controller so I feel it
Are you on a switch
No im on pc/steam.
Ok well I also own it in switch but not playing it on there atm
Lol well a kbm can beat me. Atleast on nms it seems like I'm worse on kbm
My game has a framerate issue so I struggle with aim as well
Btw Rendezvous 4 Portal has curious deposit nearby if you are short on nannys
But just to re ask my question before I go to sleep.
If I have a couple people join my party and we go kill them,
Do you think it would count them towards the 8?
No
You need to kill them yourself
Best your team can do is draw fire and soften em up.
One dude I partied up with was a fkin daredevil, 5 star wanted level and dude summoned a Vile Brood at the same time.
bro my second derelict left me at 527/600 tainted metal
where am I meant to scrounge up 15 mil for a third scanner without a hyperdrive??
Well yea I figured that much.
Just go around taking turns delivering the killing blow.
Did you sell the logs to the scrap dealer?
Also MP is bugged so you might not be fighting the same quad
Ugh
I could, how many units does it give? I've always just done the honourable thing and given the stuff to the mercenaries guild
Literally. I have to kill these 8 sentinels
And then I just have the last 4 portal/elixir things left in 5 and I have this expedition done
my god I never knew that was a choice, thx I'm now well over the expedition goal
200 Taints for each log, you get 400 taint from him if you complete a freighter
By getting a log and a crew manifest
Yeah
wasted 10 mil on nothing rip
Merc guild is useless in expedition
Idk why u had to by another my unit is re-usable???. Found like 4 derelicts with only spending 5 mill
Building any rep is useless since it will be reset once exped ends, unless its a fresh save
Not everyone knows the trick
Lol well im off to bed
is there a good way to go back to the previous rendezvous points, or are there more vile brood planets past rendezvous 3?
I can't find a second ancient ruin 😭😭😭😭
Teleport to a previous rendevu space station.
ah but i didn't go to the space station 😅
Buy an Alien map from the cartographer at the space station.
I dont have any navigational data 😦
Buy some. Collect from Shelters and white Save points.
anybody know what planet in phase 5 has an exotic creature?
could only find the one in phase 4 and heard there were more in phase 5, so I skipped that mission, but I'm not seeing any
you can fly low and slowover any planet, scan for the unknown building icon, land, interact with the white thingine by the building (the 'save-and-chart' ones)... or you can look for blue and yellow cubes on space stations you visited, some will give it
•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)
(it's in the pins in here)
damn, I was hoping it wasn't Dupraie, that's the one planet I can't find
first person in the ship and look. don't see it? pulse away from planets for a bit, stop and look again, it is a moon so I had to hunt a bit to find it too
I've passed up so many of these fuckin things in the last 2 days thinking they were useless 😭😭😭😭
it should only take 5 minutes to gather up more. you only need 3:, spam them all open and then go to th eplaque one (or go to that one if it opes ealier, you only needed one more site right?
Yessir
once you find one unknown building, you go N or S from it, use ship scanner, should find another soon, they are on a grid-ish
trying to get into a freighter i encountered and it won’t let me in
the scanning is over 200 now
sorry, I don't quite follow. are you trying to run a derelict freighter, trying to find one, or...?
@fading bison buy a map from the space station
Youre a lifesaver
Ugh I'm in hewn from light where it says I have to collect storm crystals, the milestone says I need 3/5 but my inventory I have 5/10. Doesn't that mean I have enough?
Urston is smoggier than Hurston! Inside joke.
does anyone have a portal address for a exotic creature?
if you collected them in the expd then you have enough, if you brought in any from the main save, those will not count
•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)
(this info is in the pins in here and also glyphs to anything you need)
No I didn't bring from another save but I found 2 more just now
i only found one planet in the first 3 systems called the planet of light that only had 1
keep going, there's more as the list shows, in the next system
Can you optain a frigiet for exocraft in this expedition?
As someone prone to simulation sickness, I agree.
Killing these corrupted quadrupeds is.hard
Anyone have any tips? I barely killed one, a bunch of others spawn and I can't seem to get them to despawn.
I'm not up to that bit yet, but I plan on getting a minotaur
Do you have a minotaur?
No, not yet.. how do I get that guy? Don't think I've ever made one
fully upgraded weapon of choice on the multitool, get close to them and blam them, after maybe leading the drones away (since the drones can heal), or use ship in the uncharted system, blam them with rocket launcher and take off to space to lose interceptors ... I'm not the expert on this though
Uh... what was the translucent companion supposed to look like?

You get the plans from the anomaly. Save up some data
Ohhh, it was that egg. Ah well, it just hatched my cuurent companion as a baby lol
Ooo, okay
I out a tiny base down near a resonator that had a big quad, walked over with a full scatter blaster, blammed several times even when it turned insivible (makeing sure no drone right near it to heal it), then ran back to base, wait for them to not detct me any moer, then save at a save point I had put at the base, reload that save and the quad was back. extremely cheesy but works just fine
yeah don't claim it on any other saves or anything, it's broken for everyone, we gotta wait for a fix
Cheese method sounds best .. this quest is kicking my butt
but make sure you lead the drones away first or that they are a ways away anyways, and that you have your mt set to deal plenty of damage so that you can nail the suckers in just a few shots.
Same 🫠
I started just like… terraforming walls around the stupid spiders
And digging an extremely deep pit near the exit of the dome in case things didn’t go as planned
Then use the stuns every so often while just raining fire… it’s working quite well so far I only have 3 left to do.
Granted the prep work sucks but its better than nothing💫
I’m amazed it works but as it turns out- the drones are extremely Stupid and couldn’t find their ways out of a paper bag
how do you do the deep water part the counter is not counting and im at the right depth
float at the surface, have the milestone pinned. that's all there is to it
dang it forgot and autoclicked the phase 4 completion thing... now I have the dratted egg. oh wellinto the ship
mp off, save-exit-reload, make sure your hazard prot is nice and full when you start
am i suppost use my jet pack?
which chart do i buy for ancient ruins ?
thank you !
howd you guys get the coordidates of the derelict freighter from the scrap dealer?
did you pay the 5million?
yep
lol okay ill sell some stuff hehe
do the one in starter or first system, you get enough loot from crates plus selling the crew manifest and captain log to scrap dealer that you only need one run
I'm stuck on the fishing part...
Disable Multiplayer
wrong planet. •anomalous fish: Tuwanl Akkan (REDACTED type, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR
Tarum 95/E1 (Frozen anomaly, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) (and others)
ok ty
Is it normal (heh) that the expedition save after finishing converts to custom game instead of normal game? Might it be due to me changing some settings?
uh could be, I haven't seen that nor tried it thuogh, I've been starting from an existing ssve for a while now
Ok, changing settings to normal, saving, and loading makes it normal again.
the hell ! im at the last galaxy and i cant land my ship
move a little aways, if there are a lot of bases it can screw up landing
Yaaay
I took the egg to keep in the inventory during expedition, didn’t touch it at all. After completion I haven’t claimed the egg on main save yet.
It won’t bug out if it’s in your inventory, don’t hatch it.
Im so bad i need a minotaur to kill corrupted quad
The rest of us suck too dw just read the chat history
yeah well it's not main save, when I get back there I won't have it, so all good
anything unique or interesting about the boundary herald other than its model?
does it hover or something? not to my knowledge, I didn't really test it out. huh I ought to. give me a minute, trying to clean up my absolute mess of an inventory
Nice
don't all the new ships hover since sentinel ships came out?
You can do that?
The best thing about it is the core maneuverability of 415 for an explorer type unique. If built correctly it will be a fast and nimble ship at all speeds.
Yes, through network settings.
@dark tide i had the same issue. Try landing further away or use a landing pad of one of the players
@sullen meteor It has a character ! Slick design and you can take great pictures while running the pirate dreadnougt shield trench
Good looking exotic in the 2nd System
Also what happens if you crash during a expedition
Nvm I'm stupid you just load back the last save
Hey guys, I'm in the 1st system. Where can I get pure ferret and chromatic metal? I don't have a refiner and I can't summon the anomaly
Just make a refiner?
The resources are all on the planet and you can get copper from it as well
You can build a portable refiner
To get Chromatic metal
get enough ferrite to make metal plate to build refiner, go find cadmium to refine to chromatic metal
dismantle the rocket launcher for 50 copper
@native bloomhow's it going? Did you like the expo? I am about to finish a 4th time 🙂
I thought it was pretty good, ending could have been harder. About right for a two week limit I guess
I did a tiny bit Friday and almost everything yesterday
someone asked about the new ship hovering: not as far as I could tell. nice look, nice first person cockpit view.
was i supposed to get something from the new egg?
i hatched it but didnt get a pet
don't open it, it's bugged, etc. please report to hg
!hg
You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
do hazard protection upgrades do anything in this expedition?
WELP.
#nms-expedition message see that
they give you a bonus if you put them next to the sealing thing
that's about it
the shield lattice?
yeah that too
wait idk if it applies the core extend buff orn ot
where to find another anomalous planet? the planet of light only gave me one
will submitting a bug report get me the egg back or am i just screwed
what sealing thing do you mean if not the shield lattice?
anomaly suppressor
oh some tech from the expedition?
yeah
There are two on every exotic planet
Oh wait, no
I was thinking of robots, which also count
rendezvous 3 has a scaly planet I think with 2
it has 3, the building fauna
Ah, didn't get that one
Also a good planet for the Serenity milestone, since it's calm
easy nanite bonus for all fauna
How do I enter derelict? I cant enter it, door wont open -_-

You need an EBS first
I imagine since this is a bug affecting every player, that hg will try to fix the situation for people who already claimed the egg
I'm not sure they'll be able to, but I'm sure they will try
ight ty :3
I'll look at my save data later to see if it's there, but just not working properly
I select "Unseal door" at computer, but doors wont open
Thanks! I didn't know cadium was a source of chromatic metal and also thought I needed a blueprint for the refiner
it says "Additional security required..."
@iron tendonsince you are barely starting, let me suggest some advice for this expedition. Read ahead to the other phases, do milestones as soon as possible, especially before ever leaving the 3rd system. Where you land in 3rd, is best planet for killing quads
also find the exotic animals on phase 3 because having to wait until 4 and then going to 5 isn’t gamebreaking but tedious
I can second that advice. Where I landed has been helpful on several tasks along the way
the redacted planet for fishing has deep water, for the swimming milestone
hmm I think I floated in the freezing anomaly oceans. eh wherever
I also did that on my 2nd run thru the exp
yo I just started this game a few days back , should the expedition be tough for me?
i really want that millenium falcon
Yes that was confusing for me, landed on water with my ship and it didn’t work until I exited the ship and floated in the water as a character
it will be hard without knowing some of the basic game mechanics, but read all the pinned messages in here, maybe watch a couple streams too, ask any questions...
it can be, but tough challenges are more satisfying, IMO... but if you need help, ask
would the combat be difficult?
i wont mind grinding for the ship but is the expedition doable for a beginner?
You can find and be successful with what the expedition offers
a fair number of players are finding one milestone in particular tough as to the combat, it depends on the player a lot
sure then ill try it out , that ship looks sick
if you find that the quad mission is getting the best of you, reach out, I might be able to join your game and help. I have a few hours free
In addition to phase 1 milestones, which other milestones do you guys suggest I try to do while I'm still in phase 1 system
These guys are super helpful so don’t hesitate to ask if you get stuck
sure will do , im currently heading out would be back home in 4-5 hours , ill ping you if you up at that time we can do it together 💪
thanks for the help though
Use the salvaged data you get from a milestone to unlock the Minotaur and it's cannon, it trivialises the combat.
in 3 hours I have to do a volunteer shift for 3 hours operating a live webcam for yellowstone, then I am good
that sounds like an amazing gig
If you on Steam .. have a look here : https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/4691154661545130822/

Every milestone (except the final hidden one) is described (some clearer than others).

I like how while I'm using the portable refiner, no predators attack me and my boundary metre doesn't go down. Phew!
Yes I have used my Minotaur for a lot of tasks and it keeps the ghosts at bay in and out of the ship with the AI function
its alright imma ping you in 6-7 hours then, all the best for your shift man
will check it out , thanks
btw is your discord user inspired by Miyamoto Musashi @thick umbra
Is the new ship an end reward after finishing the expidition or do you get to use it in the expidition itself?
end ship
On this PC run, I did the fishing, the floating and the looking at the sky milestones within about 15 minutes all in one spot.
Hey do we get the ship in both our main and the expedition save files? The filing system is confusing the crap out of me
Yes, you can copy the new ship back to the main save before you end it and once complete you can get another one from the vender in the nexus for any save.
What's the second exotic creature on phase 4, planet of light had the burrowing light pillars but dont seem to have a second species
there isn't, go to phse 5 or phase 3 for the last one
you don't have to do them all in order. some you must do in order because one milestone depends on a previous recipe etc. but many do not
Uhhh- the companion eggs can’t be sent through the inventory thingy… can u claim them in ur main separately?? sorry for the questions im freaking out thinking ima lose all my crap after those freaking spiders
it's bugged, leave it, don't claim o n main save, wait for a fix.
stash it someplace and don't touch (preferably in an unused ship or exocraft)
In the expedition save or the main?
when you get back to the main save, it won't have the egg anyways so it will be fine
in the expd save, stash it someplace
Ah mkmk
in the main save do not claim
Alrighty- is it safe to end the expedition from here or do I needa wait?
it ought to be fine
Thank u 🥲 sorry for all the questions- I appreciate the patience 
don't worry, that's part of the reason this channel is here

you can check it anytime in the menu where you select to start a new game
Any tips on finding corrupted quads, been walking on this POS planet for ages
As long as you're on the right planet just fight sentinels
When you reach alert 5 you'll have killed 3-4 quads
They dont seem to aggro the same way theh usually do, killed a few of them and nothing further happened they just gone
Otherwise you can search for the inverted mirrors enemies there's usually a spider or 2 around
That's been my tactic they only have 3 floaters around them and when they die nothing else happens
Ah figured it out it has to be a difficulty setting issue
ah ha! anyways if you surf around the resonators, some will have a big tanky quad doggo guarding them, you can whack it and run (lead the drones away first so they can't zip back and heal it)
also it's gonna go invisible as soon as you shoot at it most likely, just fire where it was and wait for it to reappear, with luck some of those shots will have caused damage or even done it in.
Lol died
ah heck
They absolutely wrecked me
you really want to get the best out of your multitool and make sure you have three good upgrades for the weapon of choices, use those supercharged slots etc
i totally forgot about that
one thing you can do if you're having trouble getting enough damage on them before they move on you: get and install a paralysis mortar, then buy unstable plasma at the local space station. that's you're secondary weapon, hit them with that, then blam them with the primary weapon, when the paralysis wears off hit 'em again, shouldn't take long that way, @tight lynx
you can paralyse the healer drones too if they start to interfere.
Man I really hate upgrading crap I wont be using again after this expedition but I guess I gotta beef up
Otherwise if you had a good MT when you started the expedition you can bring it over with anomaly

That's only if you started the exped from an existing save though
Never do, I go in raw
I can't find storm crystals while a storm is happening
It needs to be an extreme storm
And you need to be a planet that spawns them in first place
Then you can just use scope and go to the yellow lightning bolt markers
Check whether the planet has Activated metals deposits
From Discovery page or in visor
That's the easiest way to find them yeah
Just go to space and scan planets to check if you can't see it from discovery
Look for planets with activated indium copper etc
um you mean quote from the squiddies beyond the boundary?
tbh I dont read them
Mine was "we know who you are this is not a game anymore, seriously you live in ****** avenue street apartment ****"
Do Not Seek The Treasure ?
just done
enjoy your new Falcon! 😄
oh 5:04, bit reasonable hour for such an expedition
wait
where's role for Cursed expedition?
Any tips how to find abyssal horrors?
thank you!
hey, expd just came out on Wednesday! role will be here soon, be patient 🙂
A friend of mine played expedition, completed it, collected rewards and ended but when at space anomaly terminus there was no option to transfer items to main save. What might have happened?
Do I gotta use a quicksilver elixir if I already know where the portal is
you should: pin the milestone and do exactly as it indicates, otherwise you can get soft locked for a bit
Thanks
this is a new one on me. they had multiplayer off, tried the old save-exit-reload and still nothing? are they able to still go back and forth between expd and main versions of the save?
Oops, the portal I arrived at is underground! Time for another game restart!
He's offline now, I'll ask him those questions tomorrow. TY
Found a way to glitch myself back up to the surface!

Looking for a way to exchange my Hyaline Brain for the Brain to repair the Interceptor Ship…any guidance?
You have to get the Hyaline Brain to a funny building.
Normally if you select the quest for the ship you're guided there.
there should be a side quest in your log for the interceptor. pin that, it will tell you what o do with the brain (interact with it iirc, to get a marker...)
Any planet with a funky word.
•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)
(it's in the pins in here)
Thank you
The pnis.
how do i kill 8 mecha arachnids ?
Your Minatouar helps with that a lot
with care 😄 more seriously: some people use a ship on the dissonant planet in the uncharted system, rocket launcher big quads near dissonant resonators. some people like the minotaur, I used a scatter blaster with full upgrades because I could deal damage faster than the healers could undo it; some players use a paralysis mortar to stop the healers and then do in the quad
I'd use Minotaur.
my atlas staff has paralysis mortal but i cant buy it, i need to save nanites for milestone
Where do I go to gaze at the stars
Look up durrr.
I did but it didn't count
Nanite milestone is for total collected.
any planet at night. I recommend: put a base and build the anomaly seal item, interact with it so that day/night cycles remain normal, wait for night (and no storms) and look up. exotic worlds are good for this
(because they have no weather)
it must be night, you must have stars visible
Alternatively, just keep the gage charged before you do it.
I never built the anomaly seal any time during the expedition myself
I built it on several bases because it was so cheap. drank maybe a total of three elixirs of glass the entire time... eh well
it made the fishing nice and easy too (I am too cheap to put down anything but a mud hut ad a save point for these throwaway bases, no actual nice structures unless I like the world a lot or want to uplaod to help others, this expd is far too short for that)
nope
I grinded qualia on non-storm planets and bought di-hydro jelly. I always had a stack of 15-20.
ohI left with35 or something. after all they make you murder 64 of those poor jellies... I figured I oughta put their innards to good use
it's not for the amount you have at any one time but how many you have earned over time, even if you spend them.
4200 is also really easy to do with the abysmal horror milestone rewarding 1500 + the hadal cores/inverted mirrors awarded + the dissonant planets with shards around.
they give you 5 radiant shards too, plus you can easily grab more of those. and fishing (catch and release) gives you more. nanites are not the hard part in this expedition
oh also the tainted metal from the derelict, that's more....
Turns out the fishing spot I was at had a seal I was just blind
How does the sending stuff back to main save work?
same way it did when you added stuff to bring into expedition
now the other way around
Pop it into the console in nexus?
correct
Thanks, only brought stuff with me into the expedition once
Should I spend nanites on radiation or toxic protection modules?
I have no idea what your talking about the Nexus
i didn't need to get any hazard prot, i just made it quick when i needed to explore those worlds
You dont know what the nexus is?
No
well, technically
space anomaly contains the nexus and the expedition terminus
space anomaly != nexus
I know about the space anomaly
Oh yeah different name same thingy
some people call space anomaly the nexus
Or technically the square mission board is the nexus
not quite. this is the Nexus
correct.
being technically accurate can be important sometimes
Got it. I'm trying to get through it as fast as possible too lol
land ship next to where you need to go basically
or as close as possible
remember that photo mode lets you set fog to 0%
helps if storming down there
Hey I’m new so sorry for dumb question, after I finish the current expedition (my first) do I get to do the past ones?
we can only do the expedition that's live atm
So after the 2 weeks do we get a new one or an old one
Can the various blood elixirs be transferred to other players?
devs will most likely rerun exp12, 13, 14, 15 and probably 16 later this year
I think they run some past expeditions in November or December
Cool thanks 🙏
Can you transfer the ship you get to other saves?
I don't know if that will permit them to trigger the right dialogue at a portal or not. risky
That's not wht I'm asking lmao
tried pushing *of glass to a player, didn't let me - most likely because they didn't have bp yet
Asking for when the expedition ends and new expedition saves get converted
after claiming it in expedition run/save, return to any other save under the same account, goto qs shop, pick "claim exp rewards", it will be there
regardless of how you started it, that way is always available
someone would have to test that (I have no multiplayer available so I can't)
Hm.... okay
Very cool can you do this any number of times once per save or only once across all saves
So I've now done this expedition two times PS4 and PC like I usually do. This one was cute but annoying in that the ghosts constantly shoot at you and in the end ||after you face the boss it's all kinda like we're always buddy buddy||.
do they change behaviour after completion of phase 5?? I did not check that
you can claim each expedition reward once per save
Ok cool. thank you all I will finish tomorrow
Well, not really. It's just that you don't really learn anything maybe?

Expedition 16: The Cursed 
Event ends <t:1730977200> (<t:1730977200:R>)
See Pins
in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam
I imagined that they have to keep the behaviour the same, in case someone completed the rest of the expd without doing the 64 horrors one
Are you referring to a previous holloween expedition I've kind of forgotten?
If so, I know I played it. I just can't remember it.
Cant put anything into exped terminal it just show phases completed 5/5
no. there's a milestone in here that has you kill 64 of the squiddies... if you bypass that milestone and after the last couple milestonesin phase 5 the boundary were actually sealed, you would not be able to complete that milestone ever....
Oh yeah, that one.
I believe you have to actually "end expedition" from there to get the option to place the items, but someone who has done this many times should describe it, I don't want to guide you wrong
I did end the expedition because when I tried it earlier it said cant use terminal because the exped was on
It's a regular save now
I missed that bug.
And the egg bug.
Did you start this expedition at the terminal or did you start a new save?
well I am presuming they do not in fact change the behaviour of the squiddies at the end, just for this reason. so that yo ucan do milestones out of order
New save
Actually the egg bug caught me on the PS4 I think, but not the PC.
Yep! Jump in shoot, kill the target, jump away till they drop aggro, the hardest part is finding them…
what happens when your anomaly charge runs out?
That's why. You can't transfer items to main if you started a fresh save.
Your shield starts failing I think.
ok so its not instant death
Just did from the aquarius leftover save I still had and it was new game too
at 50% the squiddies start attacking. at 0 they will be ruthless but you can just keep moving....
No not instant.
there is a milesstone for staying at0 for 60 seconds
was that "the edge of glass"?
I completed that without it being at 0, just very low
Yeah they do start piling on when you're down.
huh. well I was at 0 trying to do the 1600u one (got it done too)
I was at 0 doing the very beginning lol. Whee bad spawns.
anyways, no it's not like what happens when regular hazard prot runs out
I ended up getting it on accident while farming the 64 kills
the 64 kills, I just kept shooting one as it spawned in, over and over.... never got to zero, I think I took a break in the middle, too much clicking
You can kinda trigger this loop when shooting them. As one horror usually spawns from the ground where you killed the previous one.
Angling for special fish without any anomalous protection is a pain
yep that's exactly how it worked, and they are slow coming out of the ground, just blam blam blam and wait. repeat.
Yup yup
ypu can build a tiny shelter and stan din it to fish
Okay, work now. Later!
The new ship is really putting my ship slots at their limit
That would have been easier >.> I just bit through the everlasting squidbarrage
I had a teeny base and an anomaly seal outside the door, stood by that and fished away. no squids, no problem!
Howdy folks
The new base part? I thought that was just for looks
I'm in a bit of a pickle
I wish they'd do something to make finding underground fauna less of a pain in the exosuit
in the expd, it is functional. place, interact with it, stand right by it, it keeps the squids at bay
This is why is should ask first and act later. I've done the whole expedition already 😦
Try bringing a save-station with you, I learned a while ago that if you reload the game the game will automatically try to spawn creatures in your vicinity (requires underground area's of moderate size; also don't save in man-made tunnels)
don't you need a base or can you place it anywhere?
it's in the portable items category of the build menu, but I always put it at my tiny bases.
with?
Dehyd crystals
What happens to portable items that you left on a random planet? Do they persist forever?
you'll have 1 jelly and 1 repair kit in your ship
I think they remain recorded in the save file so yeah, just there.... bits and bobs...
Oooh I didn't think about that, thanks
can also look at dismantling stuff like rocket launcher for copper and cond carbon, or scanner for ferrite dust
Ooh guess we should be responsible with littering then 
I've died a couple times and am slowly accumulating the little resources that are available
how long does this expedition take to do do yall think
As long as I don't lose my grave lol
i am struggling to find time but want that ship really bad
@terse agate remember that phase 2 fear the sun milestone can be done wherever - switch to terrain manip/delete, dig a not so deep hole, aim in there, switch to flatten, goto town till you complete the milestone. claim it, install personal refiner mk1
5 to 13 hours I have heard from various people depending on experience and whether you bring in things from an existing save etc
Sweet will try that
from a standing start and bringing 0 items i'm almost finishing phase 4 after about 8 hours
i still made it in 5h, having made errors
you can always start another from existing save, unless you are pretty far along already, then not worth it
ok thanks, ill try and do an hour or two every few days
I'll be done in maybe another coupel of hours
ill just have to follow a guide so its optimised
it's good to look at the milestones and rewards in advance, can save you time as you plan
yeah
i tried writing up a optimisde guide for the last expeition, not sure if you remember that
so ill try making myself one of those again
sounds like a plan
doesn't seem to be working lol
pinging you in #bot-spam
@terse agate armored clams -> living pearl -> refines to gold -> refines to pyrite -> refines to dust
seems most of this expediton is pretty liniar apart from catching fish, traveling underground/above ground and a few extras
Hi all, is there any way to get/purchase ships from previous expeditions?
I'm in a fairly big cave with minerals on the floor and ceiling. all it's spawning is a million birds outside
and all the discoveries list says is uncommon / underground / always active
egg issue still here?
type !faq-expedition in #bot-spam , there's a section about that subject
Awesome, thankyou
@somber agate expedition ships (exception: iron vulture) can be "gifted" to other players and they will retain their appearance; companion eggs can be "traded" between players as well
how do you find gold in the first system?
where do i find storm crystals
there is none
extream planets
asteroids, my friend. if you can't buy it (or magma gold to refine) at the space station or from a trader.
ok
"magno-gold", sorry
what are extream planets
it says only during storm
im on a planet where storm is every minute
lemmium also refines into it, and also if you are on a water world, living pearls refine into it.
Thanks for that. It's the iron vulture I'm after though.
other players could give you a set of vulture parts to build with
known bug
how many bottles of blood do yall recon ill need total?
may as well grab the stuff now
NO NO NO do not pleasse
oh?
eacha portal needs a DIFFERENT recipe
if you have two different types on you, the game will get confused
make only when prompted by the milestone! use only if/when prompted by the milestone!
ok
this ois a cool expedition so far
looks like it has multiple outcomes to everything
where does one find storm crystals

finally found the last underground cave fauna on some exposed cave floor. >_<
most worlds with extreme storms. you'll recognize them because they will have an activated metal like activated copper in the resource list, but they will not have paraffinium in the list.
i hope that some planets have this boundary effect on them in worlds part 2
our life support could automatically transform into this new type of life support
well I hope they don't turn any of my systems with nice bases into those, I would be annoyed
hazard protection*
i hope they do for me
i love the more eldrich themes of this game
I like me a nice peaceful paradise planet where I can build to my heart's content, instead of looking over my shoulder all the time!
touched down on some rad world to get some storm crystals, ended up going for a ride with a few tornadoes, good pals
i live my life as a voyager at the ends of the final galaxy, there is no way my character hasnt seen the eyes of insanity and hasnt broke down
Where am I supposed to get initial pungeum for a recipe? I have some I can import, but I won’t get that until I leave the initial system…
sentinals
Ok I figured as much, but how am I supposed to find them
I’m not new ok, I know what sentinels are lol
ok? i was just trying to be helpful
I've officially set off for Cursed
I just thought maybe there was some special expedition trick
By the way you can view roles under someone’s profile (the more color names they have, the more experienced they’re likely to be
)
🦇🔮🕸️🎃🕷️
Good luck! Just started last night myself
go to the other planet in the system, or go to the space station and come back, you'll see them (they are on the starter world but suppressed until you leave and return)
I killed an abyssal horror and the entire building it was next to disappeared lol
I wanna start the expedition later today but do I need to take anything with me before setting off???
Its my first expedition, not sure what to do.
there are some general pins in here about expeditions you may want to look at, then a specific one about what to bring/not bring, with some suggestions. there are also some tips and such in a pin for this specfic expedition if youwant that
bon voyage!
Shout out to all of the people that build structures to make other players' journey easier
Y'all are goated
From my experience so far I can say that I didn't need almost anything that I have brought with me from my main save. With exception of basic stuff like Carbon, Ferride dust, etc. Which you can easily get in the expedition run anyway.
Otherwise you get all stuff which you need during the expedition.
And as expeditions originally were separate game mode where you had to start new save before the possibility of entering it with normal save was added too, I think that they are still balanced to be able to finish them without even bringing anything from the normal save.
it's not required to bring anything, but it can make some parts less grindy.
Generally, when you start expedition run, regardless of if it's new or existing save, you start on new game conditions, which usually means on a pre-designed planet, on foot with broken ship. The conditions might differ by the expedition. But it's good idea to think what stuff might help you to get faster beyond the typical early-game grind.
Some expeditions (like this one) might disallow you from entering The Anomaly until certain point in, which means that you'll be still forced to get up some early-game stuff on your own, before you'll be allowed to take supplies and clone ship/multitool from your normal save.
Also, cloning ship/multitool costs nanites, so if you plan doing so, it's good idea to save them for it.
Wicked, thank you 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
check all milestones at all levels.... on this one, better to knock them out by 3rd system
Just find your grave, has your stuff
I died my first time thru from a tornado
the grave marker will be at the spot where you died, go there to retrieve.
oh cool
I think this expedition was the fastest I've completed
I found them, I had combat low and changed it to regular, that probably made them more rare. One popped up as soon as I made that change
you'll want combat to regular when you go deal with the corrupted sentinels later on too
I’m at the first portal, I’m on Libiori in Samadano, but it asks for glyphs. I though you needed to go through the first portal to get glyphs
you do not want to give glyphs
first, pin the milestone, it will only work when the milestone is pinned
then see what it prompts you in the lower right... hopefully something about blood elixir
These aren’t the right pins?
that's the right one. what does the tooltip in the lower right say?
Elixir of quicksilver
It says make an elixir of blood
You drink the water you only drink the blood sometimes
Drinking blood bad for you
Drinking water good
The blood worked
Stay hydrated
in phase 1 you are asked to drink it earlier. added confusion. anyways....
It’s a blood sacrifice
safe travels 😄
in space. shoot asteroids
Yes ... 👍🏼
Anyone else keep falling out of the freighter
other players have reported this, but I think it works for most players. could try: save-exit-reload (mp off); one player weirdly reported that if they picked up the supplies from the crate by the door before entering, it worked; backing up if you see it hasn't rendered in... nothing guaranteed. last ditch is go to another system, both starter and the next system freighters are good
Is there a pinned message for a step by step on the expedition?
no, but there is a pretty good guide imo at reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1gapz1h/the_cursed_expedition_16_in_4_hours_full_guide/ we have tips and where to go for various things, in pins in this channel if you want them.
Honestly surprised they introduced a expedition exclusive game mechanic
they have done that a few times now
it happens and sometimes that mechanic makes its way into the base game (e.g. expd 4 emergence)
Kinda sucks we wont get to experience the boundary breaking down in the real game
i forget, what was the mechanic there
With what things? I cant remember
the worms!
Oh yeaaaaaah
lolol
Dumb thing idk how to use the elixir at a portal
Or do I need to have portal glyphs before I enter the expedition?
no. you need to have the milestone pinned, make sure you do not have blood elixir from going through any other portal on you, and follow the instructions in the lower right tooltip to the letter, otherwise you can get this messed up intercation
what is the tooltip telling you?
General advice for the expedition portals: Don't craft elixirs until the milestone instructions prompt you. Select the portal milestone and craft only what elixirs it highlights for you.
and only one elixir, no more than that.
You're going to need to craft different versions of blood elixirs. Each breach has a specific one.
they could have called them each something different with an adjective instead of a tiny little glyph 😠
Truth. Hopefully they'll tweak for better clarity in the redux.
Ohhhh
"hope springs eternal..." 😛
Wait it’ll highlight the one I need??!?!?
Yup!
yes. this is why you make only when prompeted.
have no old ones on you. etc. etc.
this is just for the elixir of blood, mind you.
Now, elixirs of glass you can stock up on.
and it's highly recommended 😄
I usually grinded enough materials for 20. Used them until they ran out, made another 20, repeat.
I did a lot of planet hopping by ship, had uranium bought from pilots.... used little glass potions at all. but then I am a cautious low-stress player
Buy di-hydrogen jelly at space stations and shoot horrors on non hazard planets for a bit. That'll keep you stocked pretty easily
(and you must murder 64 of them in any case... 😦 )
Poor things are just territorial is all...
they are just hanging out in their space when stuff gets weird, gonna blame them?
"What you doing in our home?? Get out"
shoo! pest! 😄
I felt bad about ||doing in the child of Helios|| at the end there, just seemed wrong 😛
Make sure you have 10-20 glass elixirs for the derelict...
eh use the heaters, lots of them in starter and next system derelicts. only need 3 at most elixirs I would say
with only jellyfish and a couple turrets as hostiles you can take your time to locate heaters where yo uneed them
If you did the easy derelict in the starter system. Not everyone did.
Derelicts are hard?
BK tipped me off about that one, so I teleported back.
heh
They can be, if you get an infested one and aren't prepared.
The one I did in base game before I did expeditions was easy I used the cloaking thingy
each system has a fixed derelict with a fixed type of hostiles (if you get jellyfish then that's what the freighter will always have, etc) and a fixed layout and number of loot containers, though the contents of the containers is randomized
some are harder and some are easier
Annnd break over again. Later!
The one I had was weird had a bunch of bug things in it
most players do not love the stop and go game you need to play with the bug nests
Friendo helped me to it and was for some reason surprised when I made it out without dying
What happens if you run out of the purple Meter?
And?
Thats it
they will attack you pretty nonstop
you don't just take damage from hazard running out, like normal protection
keep moving and you can still do things.
(but it's pretty trippy!)
That's the fun part 🤣
Question: I finished the Expedition. Do I have to leave the Expedition? Will it automatically revert back to the main save? The list of valuable items is pretty small compared to what is in my cargo….
How can I rack up units to be able to afford to frighter tracker to get enough tainted metal
dinosaur bones
Sell storm crystals
salvaged data is vcaluable
at the end, if you leave it ,you'll get prompted for the conversion next time you load into it, if the expedition period has ended. you can always not bother to copy anything over
How would you get the fishing cane again
you get some items from milestones: biological samples, terrfiying samples, delicate flora, and so on. you can dig up and sell ancient bones (you had to do some of that for a milestone, other planets have these too). scan creatures and flora wit a couple good scanner modules installed.
Thank you
you need to kill worm babies (phase 3 milestone 2) to get the fishing rig blueprint.
I'm kinda stuck in the third system. No tendrils to be found. Should I use the anomaly to teleport back to one of the earlier systems? Or will that make it harder to progress in the expedition?
the game lies. Wisbor has the worms.
Oh good
happy hunting! 🪱
I'm dreading the derelicts
starter and next system derelicts are relatively easy, I suggest those.
use heaters everywhere you can inside, saves on elixir
Do heaters restore your boundary shield?
in a derelict there are no squiddies that will come, only the regular derelict hostiles. the heaters recharge the loss from extreme cold, that's all you need.

(no you can't just use sodium in there, sorry 😛 )
Anyone else getting nausea from the boundry breaking screen effects? Gave me a headache, made my dizzy and sick to my stomach. Had to turn it way down.
some people have reported motion sickness from it.
I think they will let people reclaim their eggs. I can't see another solution that would work
What was the bait to use for the anomalous fish?
can anyone recommend a decent weapon for killing things that doesn't run out of ammo after 2 seconds?
Neutron cannon is nice
I'm partial to the scatter blaster but it's short range, this may not be your preference. some people like using theminotaur
Neutron cannon
none needed. just build a little shelter, fish from underneath, 10 minutes you're done
well maybe 15 minutes
Really? No bait?
Was fishing for what felt like 20mins and nothing. Must it be a specific world type?
yes it needs to be the right world.
•anomalous fish: Tuwanl Akkan (REDACTED type, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR
Tarum 95/E1 (Frozen anomaly, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) (and others)
(from the pins in here)
Ok will try again
where do I get the neutron cannon?
"no infested planets detected in system" but one of the planets says vile brood detected...?
The anomaly
Not the same thing
vile brood is different. infested planet is Wisbor in the system Gaxaral
What am I missing here? I've been scouring the planet (Wisbor) and no tendrils. No burrows. I swear I'm going crazy
Try going in land to a flat area
check difficulty settings? any chance they are adjusted up or down from the usual?
are worm babies in the first planet?
I’m just digging up bones I already had a deralict but I need more metal
Wisbor, in the Gaxaral system
I managed to get one worth 2.89m
Helios at the Anomaly offers a free one once a week, but it might need the start of day to roll over for that to be on offer for you. But you could check.
cc @shy dagger ^^
For the second time I buy derelict coorindates would it be cheaper to go to another system or would it still cost 10m
still 10 million. i fyou can wait a day that's better (and Helios should give that free one out at that point, the free one is availabl eonce the player has completed their first derelict)
Took down Phase one and most of two, wish there were easier ways to find storm crystals but that's the fun of looking
Does the price reset daily?
I'm going to stockpile hundreds of blood elixirs on a new save and hope it lets me transfer them to other players. I'll wait a year and transfer them to new players on Halloween of 2025 and freak them out lol
that's a weird hobby but... ok? 😄 😄
I usually give out pie
and where would that be
the planet is Wisbor, the system is Gaxaral. it's a breach system. you go through it on the expedition.
That’s the best one for bones?
Btw On the first system on the nearby grass planet
It was reeeeeeeal nice having to run into Sentinels on top of ||Boundary Horrors|| stalking you and on top of that, several wild Cats in the mix going feral
Yeah this Expo is pretty fun so far
Or the worms
for worms, it is the only one on the route.
Ig ur talking to the black cat so probably worms
there will be more fun where that came from 😄
You're gonna laugh but I landed on the wrong planet. Wisbor was behind the one I ended up on and I didn't notice on the tooltip
i just noticed i don't have the ability to jump through systems
but you caught your mistake, happy worm whacking!
Ate it for hp
then how the heck am i gonna get cromatic metal
there's no copper in the two planets i have access in
there will be copper, cadmium, emeril or indium on all planets.
look for one of those, they can be refined to chromatic metal
Thanks! Already got them!
Someone set a Cadmium farm on the first planet and got 5,000 out of it 
oh i forgot cadmium worked as one
some chillax after all that hustling
any cool trophies to bring back from the expedition?
some people have brought back some elixirs of quicksilver which (for now) appear to locate portals also in the base game. not sure there's much else though
is there a way to get back to Gaxaral system by ship because i stupidly didn't put a base there, or am i screwed
check for bases at anomaly/space station from players that might have one there; if not, find aportal and put in the glyphs (see pin in here for glyphs to each system)
OO right normal portals, i forgor ty
alright im having that GD portal not activating bug. Do we have a list of the system glyphs for this expedition?
nvm found th epins
hey guys, the companion egg cant be transferred back from the expedition, if I put it into the incubator will it transfer? or is it automaticly transferred when I leave the expedition?
the egg is bugged, do not use, do not claim on other saves, and you can't tranfer eggs back anyways
Its bugged? I have it in my expedition saves inventory, I am done with the expedition, what should I do?
egg?
put it in a spare ship or exocraft and don't touch it, wait for a fix from hg
and do not claim on any other save.
I can put it into the storage on my new expedition reward ship and it will stay there when I leave the expedition?
ah. no it will go away, this is fine, do not claim it on the main save. wait for a fix
ok, understood, thank you!!!
This was my first expedition, so I am unfamiliar with how everything works when completed. I just left the expedition, I am not seeing my reward ship, is there something I need to do to get it into my main save?
claiming expedition rewards from Quicksilver vendor in anomaly (right to the nexus)
you can pull the ship you had as main on expedition through Expedition terminal (right behind Nexus) for 900 smth nanites
ok, but I should wait to claim the rewards till after the egg bug is fixed, or can I claim individual rewards?
you can claim ship separately
perfect, thank you!!
it's only the egg to avoid, he rest you should grab now!!
and take cool pics of the ufo ship
all the cool kids are doing it 😉
I just started the expedition and am already stuck. I’m at the part where you drink the elixir of quicksilver to find the portal. I drank it and flew to the portal. When I interact with it, I activate it but it doesn’t open. It asks for glyphs but I have none. I tried reloading my save but same thing.
you have the milestone pinned?
Yes
ok. and what does the tooltip in the bottom right say?
go ahead and make it, DO NOT DRINK thisone.
Uh—did I do something wrong here ??
Do I need to make a second one
yes you do.
Ok. Thanks
what phase are you in, and which milestone is it?
you should not get asked for glyphs when doing any portal related milestone.
ok. and it's pinned, I take it.
Yes












do you have blood elixirs in your inventory? if so, how many?
not for this. they must proceed without glyphs
then it
Before getting through this
its irrelevent
And when I drank this
Elixir of quickness
It didn’t give me coordination for a other portal
ok so hold on a bit
uh huh
ok so I recommend the following: first, make sure multiplayer is off, go to the space station or some other plnet.
tosss the one blood elixir you have on you. make sure you have materials to make another.
save-exit-reload. pin the milestone again.
then follow the tooltip directions from the new planet or the space station
it should tell yo: craft the blood elixir (of the specific type), craft the elixir of quicksilver, drinkthat one, go to themarker.
wait for the tooltip to tell you about each step, don't do it ahead of time.
let's see how it goes.
I wanted to say, why not quicksilver, but I see your point
holy crap i land by a random portal and my game slows to 5fps to where i have to restart, load back in and evidently AN OCEAN OF COMM BALLS
this gets messed up for a lot of players, trying to clear any weird game state an dget back on track is the only thing that seems to work mostly reliably
yeah, I didn't see it as a chain
When is the expedition gonna end?
in abt 10 days?

Oh in 10 days that's fine
I got lucky on my way through, hg filters some from time to time it seems, so I got only a smattering, 25-30 max at each
10 days!!!
no bases visible anywhere (but also I play with mp off, so not getting anythnig shared via lobby)
Stress stress stresss!!
make those expeditions longer PLEASE PLEASE
I had multiplayer off on my first run and despite that, there were so many bases at the final phase that it bugged my game out and I couldn't land, not even at the base landing pads. I had to land so far away that it was a 15 minute walk
i can't find storm christals for the life of me
i hate to be forced to play every day in a two weeks frame, i play maybe 1-2 hours a week, thats nowhere enough time ti enjoy this expedition
there is 0 reason to limit the time
Second run on a new save oddly had no bases, but i think it's because ods was down
so you made an elixir of blood of the type it wanted, yes?
with the
at the end of the name? 15 mordite, 20 gold, 15 atlantideum?
Yes and it’s asking me to make another one and it also point me back at the same portal
ok wait
and i am in a storm planet
it should not already mark a portal for you if it has not asked you to make an elixir of quicksilver and drink it
has it asked you to do that?
is there an activated metal in the resource list like activated copper ?
oh wait right, they are only on extreme storms
I had a weird issue where sometimes if I crafted it inside my ship, it didn't register that I crafted it even if i was inside my ship. Try crafting it in your regular inventory instead
I did craft it in my regular I believe
I’m
Gonna reload
Same issue if I drank it from my ship
the picture shows it from the ship
(best in fact to be out of the ship on foot for all this, only fly to marker when told to)
That was the only issue I had with ships, but it affected ALL elixirs, not just the blood ones
And I did the same thing with outside of ship please observe
Crafting it again in my character inventory would fix it
Make sure you have the milestone selected; sometimes it doesn't register if you have something else selected like an npc mission or a different milestone
I AM BLIND AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
I would go to another system, save-exit-reload, come back to this one and landon any planet other than the onewhere you accidentally found the portal, and see if it recognizes first off that you have the blood elixir in your inventory
Does drinking it do anything? If not, craft it, locate a portal (using a monolith if necessary) and see if reaching a portal fixes it.
drinking it won't have an impact, that's only phase 1
Most of the scripted milestones are related to portals so sometimes just being near a portal will fix weird bugs
Even if it's currently not telling you to go to a portal
Alright
If the quicksilver elixir isn't working, you can still find a portal the old fashioned way with a monolith
the problem here is that teh player accidentally found thi sportal and then... that's where things went awry, if I understand correctly
That or look for the swarm of com balls lol
That’s how I discovered the portal initially
Is it easy enough to do the deep water goal without getting aquatic thrusters? I’m trying to blast through as my time is limited
You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
some people find islands with sheer cliffs in the ocean and with deep enough water nearby, depends on location (I don't know which worlds are best for that)
For the other water related milestone, I accidentally triggered it by doing a mission that rewarded 4 hypnotic eyes lol
some people run the derelict and get 4 eyes!
Can I cheat with terrain manipulator?
Cheat in what way?
Make the water deeper
I'm not sure
it has worked for some players, needs to be large enough opening you can float over it
The worst part about the expedition has to be going through the reboot sequence each time you go through a portal
What if I use the elixir in another system on another space station
Will this help me progress??
go to a planet in the other system instead of the space statoin, see how that is
Do old expedition recycle? So we have the opportunity to do them, if we missed them?
(yes in theory it should work, it's the specific blood and having the milestone pinned, that gets you to the right place, not the system the portal is in)
they usually rerun the current expeditions for the year, in dec/jan
Ok sweet now it’s asking me to make both types of elixir
Thank you
In another system
We got an old one last year. But we dont know what will come next
well do each as it's asked fo, and let's see
(sorry about the waste of resources)
pro tip: build a small shelter, stand inside, fish without worries
Been doing that but no luck yet
Fair enough
what planet are you on?
Akkan
What is name of the 5th planet system for the phase 5?

I was on the brood planet in the second system, but couldn't find hungering tendrils at all. I don't see any vile broods in the 3red system. Do I need to go back?
Tendrils dont spawn on brood planets. They have to be infested biomes
it's in Gaxaral, third system. planet name Wisbor
I see it. Heading there now. Thanks
Does someone have a really good picture of the expedition ship
try these from a reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1gbrnq1/cursed_expedition_reward_s_class_boundary_herald/
good place to find the fishes for the milestone?
•anomalous fish: Tuwanl Akkan (REDACTED type, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR
Tarum 95/E1 (Frozen anomaly, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) (and others)
(info is in the pins)
There is a few bases on those planets that say they are good for fishing
•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)
jfc literally any portal i try to find is surrounded by comm balls, i can't use a single one
you can't reach the interaction terminal to interact with it?
no as in the sheer volume is dropping my frames so bad i can't move or use the UI
