hm I don't know, because I did the expedition route only, we're not even given a warp drive....
(imported ship hehe)
You can get a warp drive from npc ships or previous expedition ships
another helper suggests you could try disabling internet and see about the portal again
Or your own ship from the anomaly
yes but there's no need to, if things all go well anyways.
im only on switch and it constantly says online is disabled, i only get bases and comm balls :)
I use it to duplicate top tier x class upgrades lmao
that's different than fully offline I think
it's worth a try
hm. i'll give it a shot
Perfect thankyou ^^
save-exit-reload after disabling too
Are corrupted quadrupeds the ones that look like sentinel doggies?
Does anyone remember offhand how many nanites each to copy a ship or MT over?🙏
2.8k for S ship and 2.2k for S mt... I think
Tysm
the big ones, not the small cute ones
any planet to fish the new 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)
Oh well, where can i find them?
sometimes they guard dissonance resonators (teh tall things that drop echo lcators)....
otherwise you are stuck fighting several waves, meh
Thank you
Is there a way to get jump boots during expedition? Or a exocraft
Mobility is a issue
rocket boots are a milestone reward
Ty
the minoaur bp (I think?) is another...
Any tips for finding storm crystals? I know you can only collect them in a storm but they’re not showing on the scanner. Tried a few locations. Only been playing a few weeks.
that will help alot then
gfdit i deleted the connected network since thats the only way to fully disconnect, reloaded my save and still getting hit with the massive lag as if the comm balls are still there, maybe they are and there's so many it's taking forever to even see them while i can't move
thank
Try to find planets with "extreme storm"
They don't show on scan until the storm begins
And usually they will be everywhere,, try a different planet
You should be able to see them from a far distance through the storm, lightning fx
that too
harsher the planet more crystals
I think
the fact of them being there is probably cached in your save somehow. but I don't know about clearing that safely
guess im SOL
would you be willing to ask in -help? there might be more eyeballs on it there, since this isn't strictly an expedition issue
you can tell 'em I sent you, if they ask
nah i think ima just give up on this expd til they rerun it, i just wanted the cute UFO
aww heck. understandable though
I know some switch players have gotten through, I wonder if there's something they tuned or...
any required bait for the anomalous fishes?
nope!
maybe its just cause im using charts to find monoliths for portals which everyone else has probably done hence putting balls around every one
well thre's only one portal on each planet though
maybe try this:
How to Reset Cache on Nintendo Switch
In this article, you'll learn how to clear the cache (delete saved IDs, passwords, cookies, history and other cached website data) for each user on a Nintendo Switch console.
Select System Settings from the HOME Menu.Scroll down and select System.Scroll down again and select Formatting Options.Select Clear Cache.Select the user that you wish to clear cached data for, then select Reset to confirm. This will delete saved IDs, passwords, cookies, history and other cached website data. It will not affect the user's downloaded games or game save data.
can i not use a new blood potion at an old portal?
Thanks. I’ll try another planet
do I need to find a new portal each time?
yea i looked at the cache option which is why i figured i should just give up
the expected way is to use a portal in each breach system to go to the next one
kk i'll build a new silver one then
pin the milestone, do the steps as it prompts you, anything else can mix the game up
this process is very finnicky for whatever reason
well I've just crashed the game trying it :/

the UFO is just a regular S class explorer right? so no fomo there
it's all about the looks, but really most all of this game is about the looks 🙂
2800 for my exotic ship, but it was considerably less for my MT; maybe it relates to the tier and class, idk🤷♀️
I had plenty of nanites from selling off the tech modules that otherwise would’ve been redundant, and some modules I’d brought into the save, so I didn’t have to do a lot of refining runaway mould😅
@slow jay do the missions, not a hard or a long expedition
problem is lag making it unplayable.
the problem is i didnt make a base in the uncharted system im trying to get back to but i cant use any portals i find cause all the comm balls literally paralyze my game
I need to get off or at least go into lurk mode, need to get dinner if nothing else. others will hopefully keep an eye on questions
Expedition so far has given me a migraine
The skybox motion is just🤮 (way too fast at times)
@slow jay Man, u dont have to go back, just complete the missions. Read the pin notes
goto anomaly, teleport to a featured base - if you're trying to do a breach milestone, you could make use of the out of range state. if first featured base doesn't trigger out of range, resummon anomaly and try again
the lag means the player can't even interact or move at portals. it's not a matter of pin notes and such. too many comm balls for the switch
And u can go back enter the anomaly and search for player bases in the breach u want to go to
unfortunately, since they're on switch, at best they'd see featured bases, which are nowhere near exp16
Honestly it got to where I often couldn’t land on worlds where there were so many bases and comm balls on old gen consoles (PS4, Xbox One) because of this, often I’d had to reload just to be able to play, sometimes many times. So it’s not just switch that can run into issues
@slow jay how to trigger out of range state, <#bot-spam message> (in our current situation, forget warping/black holes method ofc), also see embedded image
gentle reminder that this is controlled by how much charge you've got on anomaly suppressor
The first place I spawned (I started from an existing save) I was in the water, granted only 5u deep but my ship was on a somewhat isolated piece of land with only so much dihydrogen. I had to swim back away from it to get more dihydrogen, which kind of sucked. And keep making a bunch of elixirs just to get back to it. Wasn’t a fun experience for me at all🫤

my 2nd start was like that... so I cheated and edited in some mats
my 4th stgart was similar, so I stayed and gathered mats before crossing water
Now that I’ve made it to first breach and anomaly, I have plenty of main resource items I stashed from my main save. But that initial start was disorienting. I thought this was going to be a cool “look at the ethereal creatures” kind of expedition, not be “harassed constantly” kind of thing🤨
I love this expedition, way better challenges
anyone got a base for the fishing quest
I've seen bases that say stuff about fishing
I really enjoyed the constant pressure of the ethereal creatures, keep giving them purple juice and they chill out
I had to change my playstyle a little, but it made it more fun
And had more than a fair share of leaving the atmosphere because I didnt have enough dihydrogen or the ethereal mats to craft more potions
Not sure if it was intended that the bar refilled when leaving the planet, but I used it a lot
pretty much any megaexotic with water (!faq-biomes in #bot-spam , red/green/blue biome) will work:
•anomalous fish: Tuwanl Akkan (REDACTED type, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR Tarum 95/E1 (Frozen anomaly, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) (and others)
Some dude had crafted a fishing base on the water that I found when I started the fishing quest, was really well built and had stairs going into the water that was completely inside the base. Was really nice, wish I had taken a pic of it
I give up, trying to find underground fauna on a planet with water in an uncharted system is just about impossible lol
i understand
there are no POIs to expose cave floor and the caves that exist are tiny
check this out <#nms-fauna message>
i'll leave the decision up to you
I don't understand what you're trying to tell me
did you watch the video?
I don't see a video, I see a picture of a bug
click the same link again
that's not what I see when I click that link
clicking it a 2nd time normally fixes it and leads to where you wre supposed to be led to.
if not a 2nd, then a 3rd
anyways
I had gunter blocked that's why
The annoying part is that I find a base that looks like it's in a different system but it's in the same system
not sure if there's a question along with that
so... ground you build with the terrain manipulator turns into cave floor?
is there a way to tell what system the base is in?
when using cave terrain, after save+reload
wdym "when using cave terrain"?
do I have to do it in a specific place, or is that something you can choose with the terrain manipulator?
the texture you use to create terrain
well, where are you seeing this base at
I'm scrolling through the teleport menu from a space station teleporter
that means that you can only teleport to bases uploaded in that system; save+reload to ensure that ghost bases aren't showing up
so the space anomaly would let me tp to other systems?
is there anything specific about the way the person who made the video did that? why the flattening etc?
the anomaly teleporter would let you teleport to featured bases, regardless of where they were uploaded in; and to bases of players in the same anomaly network instance as you
I reloaded and got what looks like cave floor, there's hazardous cave flora growing on it, but no fauna
the flattening makes the "crevasses"/cut offs that cause the spawns
and well, just easy to walk on
how do i use the surge battry on the signal booster theres no option and yes i have the right item?
no, can't use surge batteries; you'll want to use alien charts, exchanged for nav data @ space station cartographer
I have no idea why they even gave us those.
•For the ancient ruins milestone, you need the ruins that do NOT have treasures to dig up (but not monoliths)
Buy 3 maps, spam them all open, then go to the markers for "Plaque" and "Ancient Ruin", interact at each, done.
I unlocked the jetpack and it isn't in the customization menu???
it worked AAAAAAAAAAA
mandibles isn't a jetpack, it's a alt helmet
I am so upset that I did not know that this was a thing until now
you can just make caves
FYI: also bugged
OHHHHHHH IT SAYS JETPACK MY BAD THANK YOU BK201 YOURE A KING AMONG MEN
fixed on steam experimental btw
Nice! Have they fixed the egg too? Or still working on it?
yes, egg should also be fixed
What does it take to Map a System during an Expedition?
ok how do i do the face of glass part?
discover a system
Ah, so not one that it sends you to.
no, one that basically has been undiscovered yet; naturally, all exp systems have been discovered already
did you complete all milestones leading up to it? when you select it, and exit pause, what does the mission hint lower right of the screen tell you to do? remember that you can force cycle hints by pressing H or dpad left (spam if necessary)
Got it. I tried visiting all the planets, saving at the white markers. Scanning all the animals on all the planets. All the ways I could think of to fully map a system.
nah, "system mapped" is just the system discovery itself. you could find a portal in exp16, dial some random address, and it'll probably lead to somewhere undiscovered

How to Check Pins 
To toggle the Pins popout:
is anyone else having problems with the terminal not lett you finish the expedition?
the expedition terminus? sounds like you still have milestones left to complete or claim
everything is claimed
goto expedition tab, post a screenshot showing the phase progression line on the left side
you need to claim it here
Klick on the big badge
What merchant?
qs shop assuming
Oh, I didn't realize that was an option during the expedition, thought it was only for after.
Hi, i am trying to finish the expedition. I am in the third system trying to find an infested planet. The problem is I can't seem to find the planet. The planet Wisbor is there in my Discovery but I cannot seem to find it in space. I am circling for 2 hours already. Any ideas?
Fly in First Person and use the HUD.
see <#nms-expedition message> - use first person ship camera - it's the furthest one out
Found it thx
killing the corrupt quads is a pain in the ass
why? not enough nanites?
if you haven't yet, strongly recommend unlocking and installing paralysis mortar on your multitool: it's a secondary attachment so it can be equipped side by side a primary weapon e.g. boltcaster, pulse spitter. shoot para mortar at enemies, they get stunned (heals stop too)
in expedition, you'd have claimed it simply from the expedition badge. equipped it if you want, then go finish. once back in primary, you'd have 2 options: either claim it from qs shop/claim expedition rewards dialog option, or copy it from the expedition terminus (because you had it equipped in expedition)
what does it mean anomolous fishes in anomolous worlds?
Some planets will have anomolous fish. Details are pinned.
No bait required. Best to fish from inside a shelter to avoid the storms.
•anomalous fish: Tuwanl Akkan (REDACTED type, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR
Tarum 95/E1 (Frozen anomaly, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) (and others)

Man I’m having problems finding corrupted quads…
you are in the right planet?
will the egg save to my primary save?
They appear at level 2 of wanted. At least, it always appeared to me.
If you find those extractors (forgot the name) I think it will be easier
Do I need these bones it made me collect or can I see them
Yeah not finding them there.
Sell
Guess I’ll just have to pick fights
definitely look for resonators as well
thanks. easiest mil credits ever
this was right after coming out of the portal basically
remember to use visor to assist you
Yeah, that was I called extractors lol. I have no idea what this is.
dissonance resonators are related to harmonic camps/sentinel gear
I did a whole base around one with a high ground, lol
Ok, but what they are trying to do there? (the sentinels)
in the lore, harvest dissonance energy from the planet
ah ok
Aren't all dissonant planets supposed to have sentinel ships?
not all; for example, and the simplest case: dissonant planets in uncharted systems (no race, no buildings - no monoliths either)
oh, I was wondering why my echo locator wasn't working
a suitable dissonant system is a gek/korvax/vykeen dissonant system, where there's at least 1 dissonant planet that's not dead, weird or infested
dead (rusted metal), weird (gold), and infested (various synonyms, possible to see on the various "base" biomes)
I just came out of the expedition portal on a dissonant planet and figured I'd nab a sentinel ship to help me along my way
guess not
breach 3 is uncharted
(not gek, korvax, vykeen)
(no space station)
@feral sequoia note that there's multiple milestones in the expedition that can be done here
quick question, will i be able to continue my expedition save when the expedition ends?
I mean i figured. I haven’t needed to leave a breach system yet
im on phase 5 how do i know which one is exotic planet?
I don’t think I’ve even put a hyperdrive on my ship
its for genetic glitch quest
there's a moon with gold on resource list in breach 5
no, make sure to complete it before expedition ends server side
is gold = exotic?
that's the thing with exp16: we won't need a hyperdrive, it's portal themed
correct: if a planet/moon has gold on resource list, like Dupraie T47, then it will have "exotic" fauna, which counts for this milestone (genetic glitch)
btw, is the bugged which makes corrupted sentinel wave number 3 to never end after the spider quad has been killed a well-known problem in the expedition?
I killed the quad, and every time I tried to hide underground or kill all the sentinels, there always spawned one extra sentinel, and the counter for active sentinels was stuck at 0 but couldn't progress...
that does sound like it bugged somehow; did you have multiplayer enabled? i also never dig holes to get away from them i mostly rely on cloaking device
i'd just suggest to disable mp if you have it enabled, save+reload from main menu, then retry
multiplayer was off. I completed the rest of the expedition without doing the 8 spider quad kills milestone or the hypnotic eye-gathering milestone (I just didn't bother to do the latter because I don't care about the egg or the ship (yet))
i'm surprised that while 2023 got total of 3 expeditions, this year got 5 expeditions
iirc: this year got Omega, Adrift, Liquidators, Aquarius and Cursed
Last year, as i mentioned before, were Utopia, Singularity and Voyagers
now i completed total of 11 expeditions in a row since 2022 starting Blighted
Um I just jumped into the second portal and I think I'm stuck in an endless load
I'm thinking they may double 2023 with 6 by years end.
They don't need a holiday break ... why not 7?
Nah, they'll do exp reruns at the end of the year.
When it says to stare at the night sky for a minute is that by looking straight up or with a visor? Because it ain't popping for me
2022 got 4, yet didn't managed to complete exobiology
I get no counter and this is thee thrid go and nothing
I am and I just seet it as active. But none of the other milestones have had to be active so
What’s the easiest way to get nanites guys?
I simply sat down on my ship, contemplate emote and aimed my cross hair to the stars. counter starts and 60 secs later you're done.
I killed sentinels for the glass and sold the mods you get from them
Sell tech you don't need, refine Pugneum/slimes/tainted metal to nanites
Only offering 16 nanites per bit of tech I have
& refine the three of them together?
no, each seperate
OH THAT'S BULLSHIT! It went to day at 59 seconds! I stared up from day to night and a second from completiong it went to day
Thank you
Thank you
lol, had that too on the 3rd run 😄
also remember that radiant shards (breach 3 planet), inverted mirrors, larval cores and hadal cores (from derelict freighter mission crates, for example), fleshy rope and vile spawn that drop from baby worms all refine to nanites.
Didn’t know that 😅
also - Leftover_Pizza was more referring to stuff that you get for example from milestone rewards: e.g. perhaps you're not using pulse spitter, so you have no need for pulse spitter upgrades right? well, take a look at phase 3 milestone 2: it rewards as well a s-class pulse spitter upgrade. so that one, when sold, would be worth a lot more than 16 nanites, a few hundred nanites.
or as an even better example, considering the image above, the s-class pulse engine upgrades from phase 2 milestone 1
maybe keep 1, sell the other kind of deal
yup. stored tech gets you much less. new not previous installed tech gets more nanites.
Well in my ignorant ways I missed out on the Sentinel Ship when I left the Expedition. Is there a way to correct that mistake?
have you finished and been reloaded into primary?
do you know what system you got it from?
i can't manage to kill quadrupeds. the weapons and mods the expedition gives you don't help enough.
Hexilli or something to that effect?
i have seen someone write about using your ship, but that makes the enemies disappear, and spawns interceptor
That's the moment you land your ship, hop out and reload save.
that's breach 5 - check this post <#nms-expedition message>
i bought pulse spitter upgrade modules from starter station, then unlocked and installed paralysis mortar from anomaly MT research npc. trivialized large spider confrontations.
Shoot, kill your target, jump away
wouldn't that make everything disappear
one strat you can adopt is to first mine some rock nearby so that floaters go away and investigate, melee jetpack to spider, keep spider stunned, rain bullets on it

The Minatour makes it easy though…not to discount his/her advice
i strongly recommend not using boltcaster for corrupted sentinels
yeah, my low fps and low damage weapons can't really make that happen
if you're going to use boltcaster, then you kinda need sentinel modules
It won’t let me collect the ship, says inventory full?
exit current ship first
how do you get it tho?
Nope. Only your 'wanted' level will disappear and a new quad will spawn at reload too. So, it's rinse and repeat at one and the same quad. This is the cheesy way and works best with a ship that can hover.
anomaly, construct research station, there's a milestone that rewards x30 salvaged data
i almost got oneshot by it tho
can you claim a ship that can hover at the anomaly? Starborn Runner, Iron Vulture or copy a sentinel ship?
post a screenshot of your multitool.
i did it with <#nms-expedition message>, really not much; and they still couldn't "touch me"
Fly low above the ground, shoot the quad from a distance, land your ship, hop out to create a save, reload save, rinse and repeat 8 times.
How early in the expedition can I access the anomaly?
after you get to breach 2
Ah ok
doesen't matter, i will use the minotaur
On the Anomaly, I believe, let me check real quick for you
killing quads was a 10 mins job, including the reloads. Cheesy, yes and far less exciting than going ham at them, but it gets the job done quick and easy.
Anomaly, construction modules, 3rd one from the left
You will need some salvaged data
Then you can unlock the mods at the exo dude across the way there
The right side of the the exocraft upgrades is all the ones you want to unlock eventually, but for your task you just need the weapon
Happy to get on voice and walk you through it if you. need any assistance
Any tips for Serenity Reclaimed?
I can’t see the task any longer- what is your task?
Look at the night sky for 60 seconds, but it keeps changing back to day around 52 seconds into the task, resetting it to 0 seconds.
goto space to recharge anomaly supressor, pulse around a planet to the night side, land right in the middle, look straight up
can't be storming, cloudy skies are totally fine
👍
Is the egg thing fixed yet
on steam experimental branch, yes; not on the rest of platforms
I'm on that part where I have to kill 8 of the quad...things. I also do no damage to them, what am I missing?
possibly floater units healing it?
Scroll up a bit where the Minat was recommended and @remote thunder made some weapon recommendations
Yes they will heal one another
if you're rocking pulse spitter, be sure to install impact igniter: that will help vs those heals
kite floaters away from large spider
Hey, in the Expedition, || does each Portal in a given system lead to the same destination system when activated with the Elixir, or does each planet/moon's Portal lead to a different system?||
No I managed to kill them but mag dumping on that quad and almost nothing.ill try and find weapon recomendation
if you're using the milestone to portal, then no matter what portal was marked by quicksilver it should lead to the same system (because same elixir of blood)
I usually target focus the ones healing first…but in the bot it was cake to shoot, kill the target, jump away until they reset
multitool tech inv is very important as well, feel free to post screenshot
Yep, I don’t have near the experience or knowledge, just how I was able to complete my task
we're helping from diff angles
up to them to decide eventually which one they'd like to try next 🙂
👍
it's all good 
Yep! No issues here 🙂
Does anyone have a portal address for a dissonant water world? I missed the milestone and now I'm stuck in the final system with no way to complete it
Have you checked the planets you visited list?
Might be able to find the needle in the haystack if there are no coordinates
you can either portal back, or possibly teleport back; what milestone exactly are you trying to do?
But @remote thunder has a ka graphic he can share on the different phases
That what I am going to use to get that interceptor I left behind
this post <#nms-expedition message> has all the glyph addresses of all exp16 systems
(also pinned in this channel atm)
Awesome By the Way!
"In Wine Dark Seas" the catch Anomaolous fish one
I can’t see them anymore, however, I believe any body of water will do if the world type mentioned is used
I did mine as soon as I came out of the portal as it was near some water
So if you use those gate addresses you should find what your looking for pretty easily
•anomalous fish: Tuwanl Akkan (REDACTED type, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR Tarum 95/E1 (Frozen anomaly, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) (and others)
(KNOWN BUG: log says "irradiated uncommon", this is wrong)
If you need help finding a gate you can use the maps for ancient places - I forget the name- but it will take you to a portal eventually
you could use alien charts to find a monolith, but in exp16 there's an easier way: just drink a elixir of quicksilver
@misty idol post with glyphs of the systems is here <#nms-expedition message>, dont have a breach milestone selected if you still have any left
@misty idol alternatively, you could go to anomaly teleporter, and see if there's any bases with "exp16 - breach 3" in their names
How often do derelict doors are not unsealing?
all the time if the player didn't spawn it themselves. try to toggle multiplayer on and off, or off and on
That's unfortunate. Tweaking network mode doesn't help
if i make a new save for the expedition, I can turn it into a normal save right?
It occurs to me I should have checked before getting halfway through
farm units: ancient bones, buried mineral formation, buried cache - buy coordinates from scrap dealer for 5M, disable mp, goto space, use scanner, pulse until hailed. dont forget to sell crew manifest and captains log to scrap dealer after you're done
I already obtained around 20mils, but I can't find scrap trader on those new stations
Yes. When you complete the expedition on a fresh save, it will automatically convert to a normal one.
The scrap trader is on the bottom floor near the back, under the staircase that leads up to the guild envoy
For example, my secondary save I use is actually a former Singularity expedition save.
Thanks
Is anyone else having an issue with the new companion not spawning and the egg just being consumed?
It happened during my expedition, and again on my main save (though I was able to retrieve it by reloading)
it's a known bug, see pinned msg
Ah, okay
Anyways, my overall thoughts on the expedition is that it just just okay. I like a lot of the concepts, but the execution felt like it was missing something
it's a short expedition, duration and challenge-wise it felt like a redux
Now if this concept was combined with something like the Adrift expedition, I'd love it. The two feel like they complement one another
I'd play a whole gamemode that was just that
fixed on steam experimental branch, just got to wait for the next public patch
Got it! Thank you!
Is it normal for the last portal to take an absorbent amount of time to load?
Do i have to beat everything to get the space ship. Instead having a hard time killing quadrupeds
Yeah i do 😭😭😭
possibly due to lots of other player uploaded bases; not unheard of in recent times. be patient, or if you just cant wait any longer, close the game, then turn off internet/go offline before loading the save (just disabling multiplayer wont do)
Any tips to defeat them?
yep you do
I keep keep overrunned by the quadrupeds
I cant kill them because more spawn
And everytime i aim, my controls go crazy
Bruh when did they add fishing
unlock paralysis mortar and voltaic amplifier from mt research anomaly npc (if you do unlock voltaic amp, for basalt you'll also want to unlock the personal refiner mk2 or alternatively the medium refiner).
alt fire paralysis mortar into a pack, blast with primary fire. stunning them stops heals, and triggers voltaic amp.
and why
aquarius update; because it's a relaxing activity
Tyty
I mean has anyone ever actually said "you know what this game needs? A minigame were you do nothing for thirty seconds and then hold down m1 for 5"
What weapon are you using? The Neutron Gun is insanely effective against them
But you'll be hard pressed with the boltcaster
Scarter blaster
corrupted sentinels are more heavily armored, boltcaster needs sentinel upgrade modules to balance up
I think the neutron gun is a better choice for damage
that said, para mortar+volt amp will almost trivialize combat
no matter what primary you fancy more
Scatter Blaster is good early on but really tapers off when upgraded
scatter blaster shreds
Fully upgraded neutron gun is easily the best weapon in the game
truth is, no matter what weapon you use, slap on upgrades, goto town, they go down
Wait, what class of multitool are you using?
i deleted all 8 with this.
I copied my atlas sceptre from my main save, lol
I dont understand why you guys keep insisting people just upgrade their multitools, isnt making a minotaur geobay a lot easier?
Fishing actually is something that's been requested for a while.
No nanites needed, just 10 salvage data, some gold, some plate, some batteries, its so easy
NMS is a sandbox, fishing is often in open world sandbox games.
C. I havent upgraded
we're not insisting - we're providing advice on how to properly build a multitool, because if you need a minotaur to take out spiders, you're probably doing something wrong atm and need a little guidance.
I had an upgraded multitool and it was still problematic, I used the basic minotaur cannon with no upgrades and got it done within like 5 minutes
I've always found mino clunky for combat unless it's controlled by the AI and supported by the player
i for example, am showing that even with a trash C CLASS tool and 3 s-class modules and para mortar you can do this milestone with ease.
Not everyone has a ton of nanites to get upgrades for multitool though
after farming 4k of them?
for another milestone?
each s-class mod costs like 600.
I used mine for exosuit upgrades
1 comes from 1 milestone if you use pulse spitter.
I need to get some salvage data for the medium concertor
Nanites are stupid easy to grind too. Just finish a few planetary biology and you're good
Just the paralysis mortar doesn't cost much nanites and is also easy to install.
Salvage data is given to you for a milestone
there's a milestone that will reward enough data to unlock minotaur and medium refiner
@remote thunder You’re awesome, found the ship, triggered the quest
Wow, thats incredibly insulting
?
and condescending
lol.
Paralysis mortar is objectively OP. That's why it's recommended
okay then. i'm just going to back away, because you clearly don't know me.
The Sentinal Ship I left behind…
have fun.
I spent it by mistake
I have a good idea from your attitude though
and btw - i wasn't even talking to you directly.
You responded to me with that bro
we're good though.
???
ask me again anything, i'll answer just the same as i've been doing so far.
In a very insulting and condescending way apparently
I took it the way it was intended, reread your message
because if you need a minotaur to take out spiders
they're easy to take out if you build right.
If a player is having issues with the combat in this game, then I think it's reasonable to recommend that they try changing or upgrading their weapon
Telling someone that using a minotaur is doing something wrong has nothing to do with how to build a multitool
Yeah, NMS doesn't exactly have hugely difficulty combat even on higher settings
i never said that using a minotaur was wrong in any way - i said that if you need one because you'rehaving trouble with your tool, then you're most likely not building your tool right
No one said anything about the Minotaur option bring wrong.
it's nothing to do with what a player's preference is
reread this message, you literally said you're probably doing something wrong, just because they use a minotuar over a multitool, you cant change what was said
insulting and condescending
My friend, new traveller, joined the expedition as a new save. He said the terminal wouldn't let him join there. When he ended the expedition (all rewards claimed) he went to the termainal to claim items or try and transfer them. There was no option available to do that, just an options to join the expedition. So at this point he has to leave everything (unit, nannies and items he purchased) only on the expedition. Is there anything he can do?
He said the terminal wouldn't let him join there.
probably because the connection to online discovery services server was down at the time
There was no option available to do that, just an options to join the expedition.
because they started from new save
Is there anything he can do?
transfer itms to another normal mode save (player), rejoin with their main save, get items; can't do nothing about units and nanites
doing something wrong in the sense that they're not building right, not using their supercharged slots right, not using upgrade modules, etc - that's doing something wrong, or isn't? if you supercharge your upgrade module first instead of your core weapon tech, that's doing something wrong isn't it? I never said that it was wrong to use a minotaur, ever! i said that if you need to rely on it, on this expedition, with all the rewards and access we get, you just need guidance.
but anyway..
For someone who started the game in the expedition how do they convert to a regular save file
keep going till the end, complete and claim all milestones, it will force convert to normal
They did that, then they ended the expedition, nothing worked, so they left game and came back and they are back to the ship claiming
they started expedition from main menu/new game, yes?
Yes
they ended the expedition
where?
Behind the nexus at the terminal
So they just go straight to the quick silver merchant?
If you started in a fresh save then you can't transfer any non-milestone items
once you claimed all milestones, the game automatically converts the save to normal mode
effective immediately
The milestone items can be obtained on any future save from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion
phase and final rewards, yes
Ah alright. They hatched their egg and the pet is just not there
If I want to discuss the expedition's endgame/lore, I can do it here spoilered right?
The pet egg is bugged
Known bug. Fixed in experimental, but not made public yet.
Will they be able to replace the egg they just wasted?
yeah, also consider #nms-spoilers
Yes, according to the experimental patch notes
Fixed an issue that caused the Bioluminescent Companion to fail to hatch from their egg. Players who have already hatched a non-viable egg should now see the companion in their collection, or can redeem another egg from the Expedition Rewards section of the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion kiosk.
Thanks!
My multi-tool has a damage potential of 10,650 and I still used the Bot for that task…way easier and I am lazy
super funny how they're trying to do something but can't because they're stunned all the time
🙂
wondering if blaze jav is taking advantage of that stun still
Do I smell science cooking in here?
think there was some synergy there, but cant recall for sure
When you said normal mode save, what is consider a normal mode save? Is the player meaning another person, not him, could join expedition thru normal mode save? Just making sure I"m getting this right. TY
NMS available game modes: creative/relaxed/normal/survival (these can all play together); permadeath, expedition
when started from new save, completing all expedition objectives and claiming all rewards will automatically convert the expedition mode save to a normal mode save, keeping all progress made during expedition (currencies, items, upgrades applied or installed, etc)
at that point, that now-normal mode save, that still has all the loot from expedition, can join any normal mode save - another player's, a friend's - transfer items to them, return to main menu and rejoin friend now with their main save

For the “In Wine-Dark Seas” milestone, does it matter where I fish?
I don’t know what “anomalous fish” are, or where to find them.
if you read the description the planet matters…
any megaexotic with water, any fish that says "haunted" on description
•anomalous fish: Tuwanl Akkan (REDACTED type, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR
Tarum 95/E1 (Frozen anomaly, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) (and others)
All it says is “anomalous worlds.” That doesn’t help much. lol
Hi, Bk!
hey 🙂
I’m headed to the expedition “rendezvous” marker in the galaxy map. Maybe I’ll find one there
you're warping to rdv systems? you did notice that milestones get you through portals from rdv to rdv right?
How do you find a “megaexotic”?
I got my 4 on a planet other than the WineDark. I let the purple guage get low, and caught them off the beach with empty hooks.
If you can see my bases Radiant Shards is where I completed my task of fishing
I was in a dissonant system, I’ll head back
any megaexotic with water, any fish that says "haunted" on description
•anomalous fish: Tuwanl Akkan (REDACTED type, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) OR
Tarum 95/E1 (Frozen anomaly, Breach 3 system Gaxaral) (and others)
I still don’t understand what that means. lol I’m sorry
a mega exotic is a planet with only 3 resources on resource list, 1 of them is either phosphorus, ammonia or dioxite; and resource list doesn't have a plant resource
megaexotics are the ones that have the weird color filters a lot of the times and have megaflora
How did people even figure that out!
anomalous fish? there's no water in exotic biomes, which have exotic/anomalous fauna; whats the closest next thing the game often refers to "anomalous", "strange"? mega exotics
I’m headed to a dissonance planet
(I don’t even know what a “biome” is.) Now I feel dumb. lol
Had to look it up lol
if it's a bubble lush dissonant, then it's considered anomalous
Tarum in breach 3 is such a planet
I got my sentinel ship y'all
OMG WTF is a “bubble lush”??? lol
I’m so sorry BK, does that mean a planet with bubbles floating around?
I’ve been playing this game for ages and never use these terms. Sorry lol
bubble lush are planets that have bubbles floating all over the place, and can be both of the lush biome, or a megaexotic (red/green/blue biome) with no actual megaflora (which is the case of breach 3 planet)
that breach 3 planet is a blue biome planet, but doesn't have true mega flora; instead it uses lush biome assets
looks like a lush, but has no star bulb on resource list (no plant resource on list, 3 resources)
wait, if it's a bubble lush dissonant with grav anomaly storms, then it's also anomalous, but there's none like that in exp
I’ll be back soon, gotta make dinner. But thanks! 🥰
enjoy!
idk why, but i kinda like the idea of day and night going so fast as your anomaly protection goes down
yea
the stake is there as your protection gets lower, which i surprisingly like (usually i like easy-going)
i enjoy it but not for too long
it makes more of a difference early on when i'm not stacked up yet
oh yea, in the end i prepared over 10 elixir of glass
this run knocked out the 64 horror milestone while farming bones
- the 180s one
lol had a blocker because i got stuck inside my own ship after exiting it
i just expose myself with compromised protection and run around while the timer ticks lol
but honestly, a very fresh direction for future exploration
yea
don't mind i dm you? i have something that i thought would be interesting that i want to share with you
ofc not
Guys I’m on phase 5 but I haven’t found a second exotic creature—where must I go next ?
check <#nms-expedition message>, and <#nms-expedition message> for glyph addresses
During phase 4, it asks that you find 2 exotic creatures but there’s only one planet with one. Would it be in the next one?
yes, there will be another suitable planet (a moon actually) for that milestone in breach 5 system
@quick tusk if you visited station of breach 4 system, ofc, just teleport back
Gotcha, so i should just head to the next portal gotcha
yeah, just select the next uncompleted milestone after genetic glitch, and keep going
Alright—also I’m not sure if this a bug it ask me to make elixir of water and I made the damn thing consumed it and it kept repeating itself
I’m wasting resources
@quick tusk sorry, one more: anomaly teleporter bases, with "exp16 - breach 4" in the name are also an option ofc
must be used on a planet
turn off multiplayer
for exotic creature I don't know where to go
due to other players in the same instance (pause/options/network/view nearby player list); if you disable multiplayer, it will pause the world again.
I didn't get nearly enough tainted metal from this derelict, are you supposed to get enough or should I do a second one
sell the logs to the scrap dealer for 200 TM each
see <#nms-expedition message>, an earlier post here (also remember to check anomaly teleporter/space station teleporter)
ah
Anyone have a portal in system 3 because I don't find any T.T
I SUCK at killing things. Any tips for killing the big dogs. Took me 2 hours and 2 deaths to get ONE and I need 8@
did you try going to anomaly teleporter?
I'm in phase 4 and need to find 2 exotic creature and I need to be in a spefic system
no didn't know anomaly have one
see this:
•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) **
the bold part.
I know
then why do you need to get to rdv3?
but I don't know how to be there lol
are you in breach 4 system right now?
Rocangh?
There a few things you can do. 1st upgrade your pulse splitter. 2nd you build and install ai in minator
I also used the rdv3 system with the grav balls. Built a base right by a bunch of grav balls. If you get into trouble you can go inside the base
Paralysis mortars also a huge help
if you want to keep trying on foot combat:
unlock paralysis mortar and voltaic amplifier from mt research anomaly npc (if you do unlock voltaic amp, for basalt you'll also want to unlock the personal refiner mk2 or alternatively the medium refiner).
look into upgrading your primary weapon e.g. pulse spitter, neutron cannon etc, whatever you're using. look at space station upgrade module shops.
alt fire paralysis mortar into a pack, blast with primary fire. stunning them stops heals, and triggers voltaic amp.
Why do they give you the objective to find 2 exotic animals in a solar system with only one exotic animal
they often do this - i'm happy there are planets in the expedition route we actually go through that can be used to complete all milestones, and we never have to leave that route
it's really just a matter of previewing milestones ahead, and what they'll need to complete, and what planets are there in a system when we get to it
there's a reason why systems and planets are all already discovered by hello games
it's also so that we can use pause/Discoveries to quickly find info about a rdv/breach system
Yep I remember a few expeditions that you had to explore a few systems a way to find the exotics
I.e. off route of the main expedition line
Like I got a new ship with a hyperdrive, so in theory I can go back
but nope, I need an indium drive
Yes that is one strange thing about this expedition. Best way is look for a base in that system.
space anomaly/starship research npc
it's there if you want it
they didn't take that away
I know I just doubt I have enough nanites
farming the nanites well, it's just a matter of time investment
(if you didn't bring any/started from new save)
there's probably other player bases with runaway mould and such
Nevermind it's way cheaper than I thought
I got a bunch of living slime from a derelict I'm turning into nanites but it's taking a bit
Oh i figured I needed that for something since it had me gather 600 of it
I guess not
the gathering it is the completing the milestone
after that you're free to do what you want with it
refine larval cores and hadal cores if you got any
alright, so I need to go mine emiril to make an indium drive
eesh, some of these steps are over in literal minutes, and others are a hike and a half
also possible to get some from buried caches as well, even in yellow star systems, but that's more rng dependent
Great I'll try that. Can you shoot them from the air in your ship. Or do that trigger other nasties?
there is another way if you want to try it, build a minotaur, it will be easier to kill them
This one ??
that can work as well, if current ship can hover; minotaur would be a safer much more manageable alternative
"final" probably means "breach 5". click on the base once, can you see the system name there?
are you using the space station teleporter or the anomaly teleportr?
@quick tusk use the anomaly teleporter
Space station I finished phase 5 I just need to complete phase 4
To find the exotic creatures I’ve already been to Gaxaral
@quick tusk to explain this: in anomaly teleporter, you only see bases from expedition players (ignore featured bases). there, unlike space station teleporters, you'll be able to see and download iow teleport to bases that aren't even in the same system you are right now, which isn't ever going to be possible with a space station teleporter.
in Gaxaral, there's a planet with 3 exotic species: you need two for that milestone
what is the sequence for system 3
@quick tusk the scaly planet in Gaxaral
see pinned post <#nms-expedition message>
Ok I’ll travel ba k to system 3
no, wait.
Uh ok
- if you have a way to easily teleport back there, ok, do so.
if you don't
then just teleport to rdv4 or 5
because there's a planet with 1 exotic fauna in each of those two systems
rdv4 and 5 are both inhabited, both have a space station
easier to teleport to, if you visited them
Um ..hers what I have
first station, rendezvous 4
•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)
in bold ^
Hijo 13/W8 is the name of the planet ofc
Yeah I think I got that one already from 4
well..
if you scanned the fauna species in Hijo 13/W8 (breach 4) and in Dupraie T47 (breach 5), you'd have Genetic Glitch completed already.
So you don’t think I scanned it then ??
I got both in areea 3 I think. Was a glitch planet and it had 3 exotics. 2 of which were the robo fauna and onee was literally a tower with legs lol
@ashen shore yep, this one ^
Yeah
I’ll go to 4
did that on my way to the infested planet actually, quick stop

goto station, buy 3 alien charts from the cartographer, pop them all if you have to, ignore HUD/don't visit marker that say monolith, spam use through any errors till it goes through, visit plaque and alien artifact
nice!
Thanks a lot homie 😭
I had a brain lapse moment and bought 3 ruins chart that… took me to the wrong places. At least the alien artifact chart only costs 1 navigation data
and we get 20 of it from a milestone, it's easy to gather otherwise too
It's possible to visit planets from expeditions in normal mode? The stuff build on them would also be on the normal mode or it will be empty?
You can revisit them, but they'll be normal.
how am i supposed to get chromatic metal for the elixir of quicksilver?
refine copper
Refine copper or cadmium. You can find cadmium on the starter planet.
i dont have a refiner and nor does the space station sell it
You can deploy a refiner from building mode.
Nope
tysm lmfao ive been tryna figure it out for like an hour
different expeditions have different starting equipment and reward equipmet unlocks
after what they all said, a suggestion: complete phase 2 fear the sun milestone (can select it now even if you're not in that phase yet), get prebuilt personal refiner mk1, install it. dig a hole, stick terrain manipulator in there, switch to flatten mode, delete away
Refiner is almost always there in the past few expeds.
tysm guys lmao
is this expedition supposed to spawn you on an island in the middle of the ocean
If you're lucky enough, it'll be an island with your ship on it too. I wss lucky once and had bad luck twice.
oh so this is intended
Yes, it is.
if there really is a god then why must they forsake me like this
Thing is, there is hardly any ferrite dust on that island. You'll have to swim and gather it elsewhere.
this is very difficult wtf
And you'll be needing ferrite dust to fix the ship
@cosmic harness dismantle scanner for dust
Thank you
@cosmic harness there's a jelly and a repair kit in your ship
I can't findanything so I just die
@cosmic harness dismantle rocket launcher for copper and condensed carbon
oh
i didnt notice that lol thanks!
complete phase 2 milestone fear the sun for personal refiner mk1
right off the heels of aquarius i really didn't expect cursed to be as difficult as it was, but it was a very nice change
where are you at?
did you see my tips to @polar bone ?
look for heptaploid wheat plants and hazaardous plants too
Yeah, if you get a crappy spawn area it's brutal.
First run was a bit tough, but it's not a hard exped, imo.
surface hazardous plants always drop o2
I mean only one's I've done are liquedators and aquarius
cave hazardous plants can have either sodium or o2
i couldn't finish liquidators tbh, i got through the first couple phases and then just couldn't be bothered to keep going
there are none
There should be plenty on the starter planet.
@polar bone if you cant find any for some reason you may just need to reload your game, if not, learn the word for “help” in one of the languages and practice language skills saying help to everyone till they recharge your life support
aaaaand I'm out of boltcaster ammo
Did you scan the area?
with visor, look for humming sac/subterranean relic icons, then dig down
dont see any
I think I'm just in the worst possible starting area
I literally spawned underwater
This is actually impossible, I'm out of shields, materials, boltcaster ammo and surrounded by 15 horrors
How did you spawn underwater…
Finished!
There are plants that give oxigen replenishment under water. You can use your terrain manipulator to create land and even a bridge to move across
@polar bone try scanning materials, some things contain oxygen
idk, that's just where I spawned
Not intended to go off topic, but your name, mainly the Nagrand part, brings back a lot of memories ...
This is actually hell I can't defend myself at all
I'm trying to bridge but it's so jank
You could attempt to relaunch the expedition
This is the situation that I'm in currently:
The mountain that's close I already searched. Barren save for some ferrite dust, most of which I can't even mine without an advanced laser
And what about your ship
Can't really repair it
are you near your ship or not.
You should have moat of the needed materials plus a repair kit
Yo I found a class A sentinel ship in the 4th phase system
I am now
dismantle scanner for dust
there's a jelly and a repair kit in your ship
dismantle rocket launcher for copper and condensed carbon
Underwater tends to have something that has ferrite dust, just hope you have shallow areas
THERE'S GIANT WORMS NOW?!
@polar bone complete phase 2 milestone 4, claim it, install personal refiner mk1 if you need to refine something
I dont believe they actually do anything i got landed on by one and it phased through me
always has been on some planets, harmless
Desperate times, desperate measures. That's rough.
can't damage the player, can't damage it
it is what it is
can make all that back on that first trip to station
I can't do any of this because I keep getting bombarded by these stupid jellyfish horros
Get in your ship…
you need to shoot them with boltcaster
They'll destroy it
They shoot your ship too
Not on this planet. Just salt and other things, but no ferrite
I've literally used all my ammo
Right, but he should have enough time to repair
spent too much time walking about i'm afraid
Get inside the building for a breather.
One or two will, but not all of them follow you in.
@polar bone are your ship shields down
dismantle scanner on your tool to get ferrite dust
complete phase 2 milestone 4 to get personal refiner, install it
refine the jelly in ship for dihydro
I don't understand the milestone
I'm digigng under the island
It's not progressingi t
The game can give you bad spawns
I didn’t have a great spawn either. I had very little dihydrogen near where I spawned. Although at least I wasn’t on one of those really raised isolated islands. I was about 5u underwater and my ship was sorta disconnected from the mainland, so I had to go get some other materials and went through several rounds of elixirs to get off planet. Not the worst, but I’m very glad I was experienced at the game
You have to tunnel, so go sideways
select the milestone, switch to terrain manipulator, dig a hole about 3m deep, stick beam inside it, then switch to flatten mode, and delete/wiggle cursor around
you don't have to tunnel no; it works by volume of dirt deleted, not distance
flatten mode will be a lot faster
Mine did not work until i went sideways
I am unsure why
it worked fine for me, we have been using that trick since expeditions before
Weird
I tunnelled my way around a storm planet to farm fossils. Two milestones.
I may have been having issues
Flatten does the job quick indeed
Flatten works underwater too
The squid don't come after you underground or water either.
Don’t think that should make a difference
They do
Only underwater, but if you are underground they do not
go deeper, they do not have the ability to attack you
all it's doing is removing the ground and it doesnt progress
Have you selected the milestone
yes
are you watching the hint
They do. Tried that trick, but they come underground too.
@polar bone this is fear the sun milestone we're talking about
Thats very odd, ive used tunneling to get away many times
I know
don't know why it's not working, doesn't matter whether underwater or not
try to save+reload
this is what happened
I use that tactic with sentinels all the time and tried it with them squids too, but they found me.
me too, traversed the entire 1600u with an empty hazard protection, they were swarmed above
but never attacked me underground
just a canyon
and that's the only time flatten was even doing anytihng in the first place
I use it all the time with bothsentinels and squids, so long as you seal off the hole they wont follow you
where you are right now, aim at your feet, dig a hole, stick the beam inside it, switch to flatten - delete. that has to count.
flatten mode:
Ah. Sealing off might be the difference. I never do that.
Ah, no you must seal it otherwise they still come through
I found that out when i got eaten alive
But then i just used the geology cannon and blew em all up
you could just dig a hole and get inside it yourself, and then start to flatten even further down
Sentinels hardly do, when you dig in far enough, in my experience. I'll remind to seal off the entrnace next time.
Sentinels no, squids yes
Sentinels will literally not shoot you if you go behind anything
@polar bone try to save+reload if that's still not working. good luck
I only had some trouble with squids on my first run. On other runs, they weren't a bother much.
I really appreciate the help you're trying to give but nothing is working
well, did you start from new save or existing
existing
I mean I'm gonna drown eventually
This worked for me
So what i did was tunnel downwards, go in the tunnel seal it and go directly sideways.
have you considered melee jetpacking into water at a low angle, to get a huge swimming speed boost, on to another island? you can swim at the surface
Take a taxi.
Im still on my first run almost done though, i mucked around alot playing with stuff and just shooting stuff
I think im at like
Over 24h or something
Probbaly more idk
👀
I am not the speediest
First run took me about 7 hours. Others only 4
But i literally be doing a bunch of goofy stuff
Must admit I cheesed the second and third run.
I think i spent like 5 hours fishing
Because yoi can join people as long as you're doing the expedition rigth
Tryinf to catch cool fish
did you already dismantle stuff you have for resources? like neural stimulator on your exosuit, the rocket launcher on your ship,
Oh i also have like
I can't get a refiner so it doesn't matter
because the idea here is to get out of that planet to recharge anomaly sup, or craft ammo to delete boundary horrors
40 million units and 10k nanites or smth stupid
Refiner is in your build mode
like.. enter+exit ship, pause, options, reload restore point. have multiplayer disabled in network settings.
Then complete the tunneling milestone
there's got to be a fix for fear the sun
I dont think he actually tunnelled down when he did the flattening
Thats his biggest issue
I tunneled straight dow
Reboot the game and try again.
that too
@polar bone what device are you on
pc
not using any mods right?
Okay no clue then
dont even know how to do modded
ok
Yes you can join other people. #nms-lfg-or-trades
then save+reload, try again
if that doesn't work, restart game
if you can't fix this yourself, i can bail you out in a few hours if no one does that first
I would but my ps4 is currently overheating
well, i think, now that i remember steam exp did drop another update which might have taken away my ability to mp
I have to wait a few hours
i'd be dismantling all my tech to see what i'd get
scanner for ferrite dust
do you know how to melee jetpack?
I cannot do it consistantly
melee jetpack into water, heading to that island over there. note that if you melee jetpack almost at water surface level, you'll carry the momentum into swimming, swimming a lot faster
start running, melee, as the weapon animates, press & hold jetpack
might be easier to do in 1st person
@polar bone like i said - pause options network DISABLE multiplayer, then save+reload from main menu
disable mp if you want to avoid bugs
the most varied kind
i'm almost done with my 3rd run, and i've not come across this issue once yet
always mp disabled
is the egg bug fixed yet?
only on steam experimental branch;
Is the new ship made of customizable parts? The salvager acts like it is, but I don't get anything.
During expeds, it's always a good idea to turn MP off right from the start.
What even is that?
unintended, fixed on steam experimental branch
No amd it will be fixed in the next patch. Can't dismantle it for parts.
unintended for it to be salvagable as parts, or unintended as it not dropping parts
the former
yep same
Would be nice of it was possible, though. I'd repaint it in stealth paint.
Red doesn't fit my drip, lol
On a positive note: I love how the community steps in to help.
Best Discord I've seen so far.
yeah I do appreciate it
I just can't do this unfortunately
Wait is my main save fucked now
Nope, it's not. You can return to your main save anytime you want.
ok so I don't have to go to the anomoly
Nope. It's an option in the pause menu
alright
Out of curiousity how hard is the rest of the expedition compared to the first part
It isn't hard. The first part is tougher.
oh
But the rest isn't hard to do
hang on
Start the expedition from a fresh save if you do want the rewards. They are accountwide anyway.
Oh I was just gonna go to the lfg channel
You just can't bring stuff to the terminal, but you don't need it.
what do i do at the second portal? its asking me for a glyph code not the blood elixir?
Did you craft the elixir? If so, it should ask you for it
im dumb lmfao i drank it on accident
Should be an option to hide comm balls....
I think many of us have that on their wishlist.
amazed there's not a mod for that
nod
What are "alien ruins" I've dont like 40 different scans with the booster and nothing is counting toward progress
get map from space station. it works like a champ
I actually did get 1, that one that cost 5mil? and it also didnt count
no. not that one
Not at the scrap dealer, but at the cartographer
one from cartographer, i think it says alien in description
they are the structures that you get 3 keys andf then open the big chest, right?
I got the map too, and it indeed led me to a ruin, it just didn't count toward the objective...
Alien artifact map
yep. thats what i used
yeah did that too and it didnt count
Doesn’t always send you to a monolith, though. But most of the times it does
i think its luck what it finds
You have to try a few.
wait, do you need a monolith or the sit with the keys
because I got the keys ruins with a map but it skipped the monolith, and it didn't count toward the objective
got a monolith just now, ill let you know
Not the dig site. That ‘s a ruin and you don’t want those
You need the ones without knowledge stones.
monolith did NOT give me credit
it says ruins tho
But not those ruins.
no your right it needs alien ruins
not ancient ruins
because the ancient ruins totally aren't made by aliens
woah just found a gaseous sentience, pretty cool
Yeah I found it too!
I think they are called plaques on the scanner
He told me to leave before he evaporated me by mistake
So someone mentioned an egg bug. What egg bug are people experiencing?
I want to hatch the egg we get from the expedition, but you can't transfer it so now I don't know what to do
No pet spawns when you crack it. But it will be fixed soon
search icon or channel name (at the top), then Pins (example below).
