[grave cape]

I think I screwed up and can’t get the ship. When I ended the expedition, I switched back to my regular ship to unload cargo. Now that I’m in the normal save, I don’t have the ship and can’t synthesize it. The expedition portal just brings up my regular ship. Is there anything I can do?

[cerulean olive]

The fix is in the coming patch

[cerulean olive]

Claim it at the QS shop at the anomaly

[clever sail]

will the pet be trasnferrable after the patch? or is the egg and pet just an in-expedition sort of thing to play with?

[grave cape]

How? I’m looking there and it’s all the regular junk.

[torpid blade]

ok after 3 maps, i finally got credit, just used the map and if it came up as monolith, I just got another one and opened it until I goyt ruin

[grave cape]

I see it now

Thanks

[cerulean olive]

You can not transfer the egg from the terminal, but can claim it at the QS store

[torpid blade]

how do I identify exotic worlds again? I remember some post in here about that

❗ Bug Warning !!! 🤬 🥚

There is currently an issue with the Glowing Egg expedition reward (see image »). We strongly recommend players to NOT yet claim this reward until Hello Games has fixed it.

Users have reported the Egg to disappear after hatching without a companion being added. Further more, we have noticed having the egg in inventory to possibly cause further issues.

[cerulean olive]

For the exotic life forms? Scaled planet in breach 3, iirc

Also, exotic planets have gold as a resource

[torpid blade]

I thought there is some sort of naming convention

[clever sail]

ok, that makes more sense. Sorry but it's jsust confusing to me, I gffeel like it's better to hold onto stuff for the main save than use it

[cerulean olive]

Expedition rewards like these always appear at the QS store, so transferring it is not necessary.

And the companion gives you a new egg every 24 hours

[fallow dove]

" Note that you should sell the logs to the scrap dealer for tainted metal, for a milestone." What logs are mentioned here?

[cerulean olive]

Captain’s log and crew manifest

They come from doing the derelict freighter, which you have to do to get tainted metals anyway.

[feral sequoia]

I GOT THE SHIP

[low jackal]

dountnut ship

[feral sequoia]

My only complaint is that it's not a sentinel ship

running on 100% radiant shards is a huge bonus

no to mention floating in place

Also, just to be clear, the threat was a ||giant space jellyfish||

[gaunt path]

Wait so did the problem get patched??

[fluid vault]

The issue has just been patched on the Steam Experimental branch.

[gaunt path]

Whats that? 🫠

[fluid vault]

patch is not fully released yet, experimental branch is basically like a beta for the next upcoming patches

[gaunt path]

Ohhhhhhh mkmk

[fluid vault]

it'll be there for a day or two probably until it's released to the public

[gaunt path]

I get it now- ty for the explanation-

[feral sequoia]

What are the odds the atlas staff will come back around as loot? This is my first expedition and I kind of regret missing out on past loot.

[fluid vault]

it will almost certainly be rerun at the end of the year, so you should have a chance to get it

[feral sequoia]

Okay cool

Now that I finished this expedition

What’s the best way to throw myself into uncharted territory?

Black holes?

[crude peak]

how do i find corrupted quads for the arachnophobia milestone?

[low jackal]

1. they spawn naturally near Dissonance Resonator
2. fight corrupted sentinels, they will start showing up on the 3rd or 2nd wave

[feral sequoia]

I went all the way through wave 5, and that got 4 to spawn

I had already killed one randomly so for the last 3 I just flew around and airstriked ones near dissonance resonators like Jasonkai said.

[crude peak]

i run out of ammo, i did not think they would be this hard to kill

[feral sequoia]

Ammo is cheap fortunately

If you’re in your ship you can one shot them with missiles, just be prepared to fly away because attacking sentinels while in your ship summons sentinel interceptors.

[shadow marten]

how do i do the "stay above the deepsea" quest? I have an ocean thats 80 units deep, but the timer always goes up to 10 and then just dissapers no matter being under above or in the water

[feral sequoia]

I had to tap my jet back every now and then to make sure I didn’t gradually sink below the surface.

[shadow marten]

WTF

[feral sequoia]

The timer does disappear but it comes back a few seconds later.

[shadow marten]

it starts at 0

im 10 minutes doing this

[feral sequoia]

You can’t leave the water, or allow yourself to sink below the surface

Or it resets

[shadow marten]

the water is not even waving or something

[little torrent]

Exotic Worlds always have Gold

[balmy pagoda]

I just completed the Endless Hunger milestone but I don't have the Pre-Packaged Fishing Rig Unit Reward. I don';t see in my inventory to install it?

[indigo falcon]

did you bring an mt in that already has the fishing rig?

[balmy pagoda]

No, I'm using the one I started with.

[indigo falcon]

can you post a screenshot of the exosuit and ship inventories?

if you can't put them here, you could put them in #nms-media I think

[balmy pagoda]

Oh nevermind I guess it's not an installable thing I just clicked an empty slot in my mt and the option to install it is there , just need the parts. I thought it was one of those recipes you have to hold E to install from inventory.

[indigo falcon]

you should have gotten an installable one, but if you got the blueprint, good enough.

[balmy pagoda]

What is a good planet in the 3rd phase to try to fish from?

[indigo falcon]

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

(from the pinned message in here "where to go")

there are plenty of player bases around for fishing too, you might see some heading to the planet

[balmy pagoda]

Oh yes good idea XD

[languid rose]

Hey guys. Can the new UFO ship hover like the sentinel ship can?

[neat latch]

Nope

[languid rose]

Understood. Thanks Korvax!

[exotic halo]

[quartz mauve]

is there an option to scrap parts of this ship?

[alpine topaz]

howd you guys find that Quad sentinal enemy?

did you just keep flying around lol..

[indigo falcon]

the option is there but you do not in fact getany parts, it is a unique ship. I believe this is being fixed in the Steam experimental build so that you don't get the option to scrap.

[quartz mauve]

oh okay, cool. So dont hatch egg and dont scrap ship

[indigo falcon]

some of us look for dissonant resonators; these can be guarded by the big guard doggos although not all of them are. others like to fight through to wave 4 (?) I think it is, when you'll see at least a couple of them show up.

[prisma root]

Will we be able to replay the expeditions at the end of the year?

[indigo falcon]

nothing is sure. but historically they have always rerun the years' expeditions at the end of the year.

[low jackal]

people be putting base on a burial sites so others can't dig up the bones

good troll..

luckily I can just report em

I was busy typing just that, heh

[barren bolt]

I do not like that this expedition is so short. Moreover, with my schedule I don't think i will be able to finish. 🥺

[wraith junco]

Check the pins and look up some yt guides in the meantime when u have the occasion.

[iron tendon]

Is it just me or we can't just drop items into expedition terminus anymore until the expedition is done?

I remember last time we used to be able to send everything by just dropping the items in the exp terminus and then 'return to primary save' from the esc menu

[indigo falcon]

you should not have been able to do that, it should have been a one-and-done thing, just like transferring items across initially from the main save. is that in fact really fixed now?dunno...

[iron tendon]

Oh, I thought what happened last time was normal...

[fading ibex]

I could not send any items from my Expedition save to my main save, is that how it's supposed to be? The companion egg I got from the quicksilver guy is also bugged

[blazing fossil]

Yeah, don’t touch the glowing egg until it’s fixed

Store it in an exocraft you never use and then don’t summon that exocraft until it’s fixed

the egg being bugged is a sepaarate issue. yes, when you end the expedition you should be able to place items into the transfer terminal, end for real, then pick them up on the other side.

[steady idol]

Ship is fire

[fading ibex]

Couldn't do that, it would only let me start a new expedition

[fading ibex]

Ahh damn! Stored it in my storage container, is that wrong?

Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[fading ibex]

It still tells me that an egg is ready to hatch

[blazing fossil]

You need to keep it in an inventory that the game never checks

Storage containers (if on freighter) are being checked constantly when in system or on frighten

[fading ibex]

man nms wouldn't be half as fun without the bugs lol

ok, if I put it into an exocraft I never use will it be ok, or is it too late now? didn't hatch it

[blazing fossil]

If you put it in an exocraft you never use it should be okay

Just make sure to not summon that exocraft again until it’s fixed

[fading ibex]

will do so! thanks

[blazing fossil]

And leave the system or summon a different exocraft to make the game stop checking the egg inventory

[fading ibex]

thanks

my expedition save inventory is lost I guess if the terminal doesn't work? 😄

i've been stocking up so nicely

[blazing fossil]

Also, go through all your inventories and check that you don’t have ”Broken Economy Scanner” that looks like an egg

Just to be sure the egg didn’t break anything

[vapid gate]

How long is expedition?

[fading ibex]

What 😄 omg ok will do so

jesus

[blazing fossil]

Takes about 3-8 hours depending on how fast you are

[indigo falcon]

I don't use the terminal enough to be able to suggest workarounds. I would try asking about the trasfer in -help: explain exactly what you tried and what happened and what condition the save is in now.

[fading ibex]

thank you all!

[indigo falcon]

I'm gonna just lurk in there and see what the reply is too

[vapid gate]

Any must have items to make it go faster?

[indigo falcon]

there's a pin in here "DO bring..." which gives some ideas.

#nms-expedition message

[vapid gate]

Got it, cheers

[lusty slate]

Whoo, thanks Gleam!

[lusty slate]

Did you start the expedition from an existing save via the terminal, or did you start a new save from the game menu?

You only have the ability to send items back if you started the expedition using the terminal, fyi.

To be fair, the game doesn't really explain this well...

[indigo falcon]

hey @lusty slate since you're in here... we had a player in here yesterday, also on switch, that had such bad lag due to comm balls, that they couldn't even move at a portal, essentially game freeze. Even after disconnecting from the internet. I was wondering what your experience has been.

[blazing fossil]

I haven’t noticed any lag due to comm balls (yes I play on switch)

[lusty slate]

The ODS was down when I did the last three portals, so....

[jagged sedge]

They don't bother my game much, but my Switch is less than 4 feet from our wifi box

[lusty slate]

But no lag with comm balls prior to that, no.

[indigo falcon]

roughly how many comm balls were you seeing at portals (< 10? 20-30? a virtual sea of them?)

[blazing fossil]

20-30 I’d say

[lusty slate]

20ish

[blazing fossil]

(Didn’t count them, what maniac would do that)

[lusty slate]

However, my wifi is very stable and I play docked.

[indigo falcon]

sure sure, just eyeball estimate is fine. I've definitely seen some streams where there were a lot m ore, the player might have gotten unlucky

(some streams of the current expd, to be clear)

[jagged sedge]

I've just been using a portal in a far-away system, that has no comm balls ... no worry about lag there

[indigo falcon]

very smart

[blazing fossil]

Do you know if the person played in docked or handheld mode?
Because that could be the reason comm balls lagged them out

[lusty slate]

The only lag I ever get is occassionally when I fly into the Anomaly during a weekend

But it always sorts itself out

[blazing fossil]

I see quite a bit of lag but I mostly think that’s because the game is not meant to be played on foot in space and when you do that the game doesn’t know what to do

[lusty slate]

Yeah, I've seen reports of handheld mode causing issues.

I don't play handheld often at home because of joycon drift (I have my original joycons still). I prefer using my wired controller.

[indigo falcon]

I don't know, I can bear this in mind for the future, great things to ask!

[lusty slate]

Also, keeping your Switch in sleep all the time and not properly shutting down is not a good idea generally.

[bold nebula]

So if I claim the phase 4 reward and end the expedition can I get the egg again in my primary save?

The egg

[lusty slate]

Yes. But the egg is bugged right now, so I'd hold off claiming it until the fix is out.

[bold nebula]

Got that part. I started this exp in my existing save, so when I finish the expedition and end it, can I claim the egg again from the quicksilver store?

[lusty slate]

Yup.

But for now, just leave it unclaimed at the vendor until the patch. It will remain available until you get it, it won't expire or anything.

[bold nebula]

I wanted to quit and continue my primary save but it has to wait I guess

[lusty slate]

Oh no, you can still do that. Just leave the egg unclaimed on main.

Claim all phases, return to the terminal, transfer what you want and and end. When you're back on main, go to the QS vendor and claim everything but the egg.

When the patch comes out that fixes it, just return to the vendor and get it.

[bold nebula]

Right got it! Thanks for the clarification!

[lusty slate]

There are reports of the bugged egg causing issues the longer it's in the inventory. So just let it chill at the vendor to be safe.

[bold nebula]

Got it

Quickest I've completed a exp yet

Just a day

[lusty slate]

Yeah, it doesn't take very long, especially if you're familiar with game mechanics

[indigo falcon]

knowing which weapons work best for you with quads, how to find the alien sites for the one milestone, where the anomalous (not irradiated!) fish are, and just to check the milestones in advance, all help to speed up the run. And if you mange to avoid any soft locks at the portals...

[lusty slate]

Fishing was stupid easy for me. I had already completed the fishing log on main, so I knew immediately that the milestone wanted haunted fish and how to identify mega exotic planets from space.

[indigo falcon]

I already knew the log text was wrong by the time I went through (having sat in here for a few days prior) so it was zippy for me too

and I always fall abck to my trusty shotgun, makes short work of thse quads, and the end fight too.

[lusty slate]

I copied in my Atlas scepter. I always copy in my MT if combat is required.

[indigo falcon]

nice nice

[lusty slate]

25k neutron cannon + paralysis mortar + SC voltaic amp. Lol, what difficulty

[indigo falcon]

I can't get used to the chargeup on the cannon. Eh, a blam to the face is good enough 😄

[lusty slate]

With the SCed voltaic amp, it only took two shots to kill a stunned quad.

[indigo falcon]

very nice indeed!

that is key: either splash damage to healers when they come in, or killing the quad so fast they don't have time.

[warm bobcat]

what happened to the expedition guide in the pins?

[indigo falcon]

it's there. the general expedition posts have been moved to the top, the ones for this expedition are right after.

[warm bobcat]

ah cool found it. thanks

[lusty slate]

Yeah, the healers are a non issue if you can out damage them.

The quads leaping onto my face is way more annoying.

stuns Stay put, you.

[indigo falcon]

this is where I just keep firing and back up a step or two. they get the message.

and then they get very dead.

[meager scroll]

People be talking about cloned MTs, SC slots and stun damage boost

[lusty slate]

Don't have to walk back if you never let them move. 😛

[meager scroll]

Meanwhile me: alright, I have a Boltcaster, 0 spooky drink and lots of stuff to kill

[indigo falcon]

lolol

living on the (boundary) edge, I see!

[meager scroll]

It was fun, took me like 20 minutes to fight the quads

I was on high alert all the time

[lusty slate]

I'm not a combat player, so I'm using the mortar. But hey, fun is subjective for everyone. 🙂

I like stealth tho, sneaky sneaky BOOM is fun for me.

[indigo falcon]

a proper stealth mode in this game would be pretty fun. but eh, how complicated do we want combat in the end

[balmy aspen]

I finished the expedition without having to import my MT - I found the spitter upgrades good enough to strafe the quads down, it has a nice DoT to keep things ticking over, took a fair bit longer than usual, but not by a huge deal. Gotta make sure to kill the regular corrupted sentinels that also heal, first. Although, having to take down 8 was too much - 4 would have been plenty!

I spent 30 minutes trying to get the fish before I realised I wasn't on anomalous planet 🙄. So I flew to one, and caught the fish in like 5-10 minutes 😛

[indigo falcon]

so liquidators: 8 walkers. this one: 8 quads. next??

[lusty slate]

Derelicts, but they'll all infested

[indigo falcon]

lololol NOPE

I don't care if they give us 16 (heh) free broadcast scanners for it. just nope.

[ashen shore]

Derelicts are pretty neat
Wish they had more baddies alien isolation style

[lusty slate]

I would LOVE proper long distance sniping, but we're likely not getting it.

[sullen meteor]

I wish they'd do something to stop people from building a million communication stations on the rendezvous points

[lusty slate]

Seriously. They really need to ban building around rendezvous points.

[grand lodge]

idk in this expedition it's been kind of convenient having a million comm balls telling me where the portal is

[sullen meteor]

kinda spoils the experience when you're on an interdimensional sci fi journey and suddenly HELLO FROM [COUNTRY] appears on the screen

[indigo falcon]

I don't mind the hello messages. the religious slurs (saw one), the ads, the politcal "vote for" ones, nope.

[sullen meteor]

sure, great, build them 100u away from the portal site
just not all over the portal itself

[lusty slate]

Lol. It IS kinda hilarious if you overshoot the estimated land spot.

"Now, where it?"
/sees comm icons on HUD
"Nevermind"

[hushed oasis]

there is a mod to make the comm balls disappear

[lusty slate]

Some are actually pretty clever. My favorite was "Portal me timbers".

[indigo falcon]

why do I never see the clever ones? meh

[ashen shore]

The sniping update already came
It was the liquidator update that caused eveuthing to run away lol

I think I see it. I usually solo so the added markers are a bit confusing for me. Thanks for the assist

Oi!

[astral grotto]

I’m at the final portal but it won’t let me offer the blood. What do I do?

[severe inlet]

If you have unlocked several blood receipes you might have to look twice to see you crafted the right one

[remote thunder]

mp disabled, right blood type on you? no others?

[severe inlet]

There's a new blood type for each portal

[remote thunder]

these parts should go smoothly if the player has mp disabled, craft things in the requested order

do not craft a blood type right after unlocking it

craft it when requested

it really should be that simple

[cerulean olive]

and don't drink it if you're not supposed to

[remote thunder]

yeah, only phase 1 elixir of blood is to be drinked

(which unlocks elixir of quicksilver)

[cerulean olive]

some just drink it either way. 😄

[remote thunder]

vampires

[severe inlet]

I unlocked the 4th blood type recipe way before I was supposed to so I got confused 😛

Scanning fauna / wildlife is lucrative

[remote thunder]

indeed

great pocket money, and if you go all the way for the zoology bonus, nanites too

[astral grotto]

Yup. It’s saying I need to drink an elixir of quicksilver but I already did that. It’s how I found the portal

[severe inlet]

I read some comments before like "the nanites stage is going to be the end of me" and I was intimidated...and before I knew it I already had that amount. No base with annoying nanite farms etc

[remote thunder]

dump all blood elixirs, dump all quicksilvers, disable multiplayer, save+restart game. once you're loaded up again, wait for the hint. does it still want you to drink elixir of quicksilver? do it, in space.

[neat latch]

Do you have the correct type of blood?

Every elixir of blood has a specific icon associated with it, <— like these.

Check which icon the hint is asking you to use after you have followed the steps suggested by friend entiry bk, @astral grotto

is the last one, btw

it's "NMS mission objective progression 101": missions are run and progressed through according to a "script". it's always best and safest to not try to shortcut, or deviate, or get ahead of the current step/objective (unless you absolutely know for sure that shortcutting/deviating won't break things)

[astral grotto]

I think the rule is, if you're rubbing the elixir on something, Flask is fine. If you're drinking it, it's a Snifter.

They might refer to experimental build update which is a) only available as an opt-in build for PC Steam users

and b) can change at any time because HG is still in process of fixing and tweaking stuff

So take even experimental patch notes with a grain of salt, only refer to public patch notes

[valid roost]

Alr cheers

[indigo falcon]

we do generally watch the steam experimental releases very closely so we can have an idea of what's coming.

(we watch them directly, not via youtube videos 😉 )

[digital oriole]

I somehow got myself an interceptor while doing the expedition

Cool I guess?

[pseudo shuttle]

I think there is a bug with the day and night cycle for the expedition

[wicked obsidian]

What do you mean?

[pseudo shuttle]

like it goes fast, to fast

[wicked obsidian]

…that is supposed to happen…

There is even a setting to slow it down if you have epilepsy

[pseudo shuttle]

because of the dropped "sanity"?

[wicked obsidian]

Yeah

[pseudo shuttle]

oh, now I get it

[wanton frigate]

if you keep drinking your medicine it stabilises. Which is necessary for one of the milestones later.

[pseudo shuttle]

yeah did that

I just didn

t notice

[lean notch]

I am looking for the storm crystals but not hai no much luck. Is there any indicator that a planet with storms will also have storm crystals?

[wanton frigate]

check-a da pins-a! There's a good candidate there. But you just need an extreme planet with extreme storms, look for a bunch of crystals clustered together while the weather's decent and wait in your ship till the madness starts. Having a Minotaur is a huge plus for this, and that bad boy will be your best friend when you turn Spiderhunter later on.

[lean notch]

Thank you

Right after I asked I stumbled across a cluster of 5 of them lol

[oblique gazelle]

which planrt has storm crystals in phase 2

[indigo falcon]

Urston (and psst it's in the pin in here "where to go"!)

[meager stream]

I heard some people who start the expedition from their main saves lose their frigates... is it true?

[indigo falcon]

I haven't heard this, nor losing freighters either. Can you say a little more about this?

[wraith junco]

I think its a bug that was fixed already

Not sure tho

[meager stream]

Idk xaine mentioned it in his last exp video

[shy dagger]

heyo, what should i do to find the two ruins?

[indigo falcon]

•For the ancient ruins milestone, you need the ruins that do NOT have treasures to dig up (i.e. monoliths).
Note that you can skip the signal booster and surge batteries, just buy alien site maps for nav data instead.
Buy 3 maps, spam them all open, then go to the markers for "Plaque" and "Ancient Ruin", interact at each, done.

(It's in the pins)

[indigo falcon]

with the Adrift update?

[meager stream]

https://youtu.be/XzV3AiM2Ciw?t=17

[indigo falcon]

(use < and > around the link to prevent the image from filling the screen for us).... ok I'll check, do you remember where it was in the video, begin/end/middle?

[meager stream]

the link is with timestamp, the very beginning

[indigo falcon]

ok lemme check, thank you

ah "data loss on existing accounts", got it. we had saves being lost wholesale earlier; to my knowledge this is patched now (both reports on reddit and here of the fix working).

[patent mason]

Im having a hard time finding the corrupted quads and the small ones do not count towards the milestone

[indigo falcon]

I think it's fine, to be sure, back up your saves beforehand, always a good idea.

[indigo falcon]

try looking near dissonant resonators, sometimes there is a large quad doggo there. fly low and slow, give lots of time for them to render in. you might have to try several before you find one.

[oblique gazelle]

anyone else get a bug where your constanly harrassef by sentinals

[cerulean olive]

Last thing I saw of that bug said it was partially fixed.

[indigo falcon]

no but this sounds like a job for mp off, save-exit-reload

[patent mason]

ok good start thank you

[red zealot]

stupid ass firestorm interrupted my quadruped cheese

im gonna cry

[indigo falcon]

there is more cheese where that came from!

[red zealot]

okay that was the shortest storm ive ever seen nvm

[indigo falcon]

you'll get it done, we have faith in you

[red zealot]

i got 4/8 im halfway there 😔

tbf im literally just save scumming with restore points lmao

but im tired of this, i came to have fun, not to get pummeled by a spider robot several times in a row 😔

lmao

god they just did some insane numbers on my shield

IM SCARED

[severe inlet]

you can buy them from the station right?

[indigo falcon]

yeah from the cartographer, 1 nav data per map.

So where is the second exotic life I found one but the planet only has one life form on it

[oblique gazelle]

so can you not complete serenity in vr?

been looking up for about an hour at the night sky

[indigo falcon]

I would advise you for that one milestone to switch out, yeah. it's super finnicky, may not be possible for you in vr at all.

?

[indigo falcon]

any planet with some water will do.

[ashen shore]

the archnophbia mission is killing me, getting blittzed by standard sentinels, so thought id go find a building like a manufacting facilty to offer me some protection, but can I find a buliding its like they all disappered off the face of the earth and cant search for them either, - Interferance

[shy dagger]

it did not count

the missions says i need the repeater

[indigo falcon]

buy 3 maps, spam all three open without visitingany sites, go to the two that are not "monolith"

[shy dagger]

oh oke

[indigo falcon]

ignore the signal booster, trust me.

I and many other players have done it with themaps, it will work.

3 maps, 1 nav data each for cost, alien site ones. those.

[oblique gazelle]

whatabout the floating one

[indigo falcon]

uncharted systems never had an npc visit, they will have none of these buildings. there is a dissonant planet in the next system, Rocangh, the planet is Rucand,

[indigo falcon]

I hav enot heard about issues with that one in vr (doesn't mean there aren't but I haven't heard about it)

[oblique gazelle]

mk

[ashen shore]

found the planets, havent got a problem with that just cant find a building to help offer me some protection

[indigo falcon]

which system are you in

[oblique gazelle]

is there any way to get the stupid purple bar to stop draining so quickly

[wraith junco]

Go to space. It will refill

[ashen shore]

Gaxarel

[oblique gazelle]

tired of having to use five elixers of glass to sit 60s

[indigo falcon]

build a base, put an anomaly seal part down, stand by it, it wil refill the bar and keep it full (when e.g. fishing)

[indigo falcon]

this is uncharted, no buildings, go to Rocangh system, planet Rucand as I mentioned, next system

[oblique gazelle]

?anomoly seal

[indigo falcon]

you got this base building part from a milestone near the end of phase 2

if you haven't gotten there yet, ship to space and recharge is your best bet

nice thing about the seal is time remains regular flow so it will be night a lot longer than 60 seconds too

for any in depth chatter on that, best to take it to the spoilers channel. and yeah we all think theres' intended overlap

[obtuse shell]

Ohkay

[ashen shore]

about to land now

[obtuse shell]

#nms-spoilers K, leaving. Thx for sending me there for the right location

[ashen shore]

and then it crashes the game not the ship haha

[oblique gazelle]

sooooo cant even do tainted metal milestone

i get on derelict then i fall through derelict

cool

[indigo falcon]

try another system's one (you're using an emergency scanner right?)... both starter system and the next system ones are good ones. mp off, save-exit-reload before trying again

and put the scanner in the personal refiner before getting out of your ship on the derelict, in case you need to reuse it

[oblique gazelle]

did that still same result

[indigo falcon]

so both starter system and next system derelicts you fall through, after finding it via activating the scanner?

[patent mason]

is there exotic creatures in the rocangh system other than the one on the planet of light

[indigo falcon]

•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)

(from the pins in here)

[oblique gazelle]

in reality wouldnt it be possible to complete that milestone if someone just gave 600 tainted metal

[indigo falcon]

if you bring it in from the main save, it works, not sure if it's gifted, you can try it

[oblique gazelle]

and yes both ive fallen through ev

[indigo falcon]

mp off, or ...?

[oblique gazelle]

both

on and off

[indigo falcon]

ok, the reason I suggest mp off is taht this prevents you from finding someone else's derelict they summoned in

so I would leave it off until you complete this milestone (unless you wan to arrange getting the metal fro manother player)

[orchid rock]

I’m having difficulty finding any cadmium to make chromatic metal. Any advice?

[oblique gazelle]

like as soon as i step onto the landing pad

[indigo falcon]

starting system?

[indigo falcon]

I would really mp off, save-exit-reload in a different system, tp back to the space station of the system you want, then try one more time

[orchid rock]

Samadano XIII

[oblique gazelle]

mk

[indigo falcon]

I mean, that's where you are now, right? so if you don't see cadmium using the hud, gotta move 200 u in any direction (N, S) and check again, you'll find a deposit

[orchid rock]

Alright.

[oblique gazelle]

which chart is ancient ruins?

[wraith junco]

Alien charts

[trim marsh]

Is there deep ocean in phase 5

[oblique gazelle]

ancient plaques?

[indigo falcon]

there are three types of sites the alien site maps can mark. buy 3 maps for 1 nav data each. spam all three open in a row. then go to the two sites NOT marked "monolith" (you want plaque and ancient ruin).

that's it.

no soft lock possible, youcan always get to othe rsystems via space station teleporter

[oblique gazelle]

ok

[trim marsh]

Forgot about those

[stray needle]

if i end the expedition will I keep the eggs?

[indigo falcon]

if you started from main save, no. and the companion egg from the expd is bugged, DO NOT CLAIM on the main save

[wintry void]

You can use copper, cadmium or indium to make chromatic metal, I dont think there are any emeril systems in expedition

[indigo falcon]

wait for a hotfix, no joke.

[gloomy breach]

is there a way to take everything in your inventory back to your main save when you finish the expedition?

or is that all just lost?

[remote thunder]

@oblique gazelle is the game installed on an internal ssd (or faster) storage device? what gpu do you have, and have you tried clean installing its drivers? we may want to take this into #964865106334875698

[indigo falcon]

if you started from an existing save, you can transfer up to 8 tech and 24 other items (but not eggs)

[gloomy breach]

ok i tried doing that yesterday and it would not let me, but maybe that is because I had not finished the expedition yet.

and darn on the egg. so i guess this egg is lost 😦

[indigo falcon]

yes it is when you end the expedition that you are permitted to transfer items

don't worry about the egg, hg has a hotfix in the last patch being worked on.

[gloomy breach]

cool.

[gloomy breach]

tyvm

[severe inlet]

There's a quest to find exotic animals, and the instructions are to find exotic planets. There doesn't seem to be any in the system called "Exotic"

Should I be back tracking ?

[gloomy breach]

scaly planet in phase 3

[cold tulip]

Look for planets with gold

[indigo falcon]

•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)

(from the pins)

[severe inlet]

Ok! Thanks!

[indigo falcon]

if you are in the uncharted system you can find both lifeforms on one planet

[gloomy breach]

Todai 63/Z1 in Gaxaral

[indigo falcon]

otherwise the next two systems each have one

[gloomy breach]

there are only 3 fauna there, 2 are exotic. very easy to do there

[dire mirage]

what's an easy way to find dissonance resonators?

[gloomy breach]

fly around the planet with the purple crystals on the ground.

fly low and you can see them

also, someone put a base there right next one. Easy farming.

[indigo falcon]

I would fly low and slow and look for the icon in the hud (a diamond with a thin tall rectagle-ish shape representing the resonator, inside)

[red zealot]

ive been trying to find that last fucking quadruped for probably like an hour now. not one resonator. and it keeps storming to rub it in my face 😔

ive tried all the strategies

flying low and slow

it never works

and the one time i found one

it didnt even have a quadruped

fml

[cold tulip]

Normal waves spawn them too

[indigo falcon]

check the space station (if you're in Rocangh) and see if any relevant player base shows up

[red zealot]

i want to attack it with my ship tho

okay

[gloomy breach]

kill all the sentinals until you get the waves, quads will spawn.

[indigo falcon]

yeah but that's not a ship-based strategy, fighitng the waves

[gloomy breach]

yeah true

i did it on foot

[indigo falcon]

I flew to find, then shot on foot up close and personal

[quaint urchin]

Use your scanner to locate a gravitino ball and pick it up. It's going to start a fight. One of the waves will start spawning them. It's how I did it on my second run...

[indigo falcon]

they are wanting to fight the quads from ship though

[gloomy breach]

this is probably faster for most. i got lucky and found somenes base that was set up for it.

[trim marsh]

So don't collect the egg reward yet right?

same, flying around to find them for 3 hours before i just landed and started a GTA wanted run

[wanton frigate]

Minotaur minotaur minotaur. Once you pick a fight you win it almost by accident. It's a big investment of salvage but you got 30 pieces for free, what are you saving them for, black friday? There's only 9 days left in the expedition, splurge 'em!

[indigo falcon]

I was in the uncharted sytem on that dissonant planet and they were all over, maybe I just got lucky

[stone fog]

this was my first expedition, didn't even think to do that!

[wanton frigate]

Never used it till the Liquidators one 2 expeditions back, now I'm evangelical 😄

[shy dagger]

so should i redeem step 4 or nah

[indigo falcon]

if it's the egg you're asking about, nope. leave it

if it makes you claim it to leave the expedition, fine, but then if it's a new save, stash the egg in a spare exocraft or ship.

[shy dagger]

but that wouldn't let me finish the expedition would it

oh no, i am not grabbing the egg when i go back to my normal istance

[indigo falcon]

good good

[shy dagger]

but i dont know if it might break stuff up since it's my main save,

[red zealot]

I DID IT

AAAAAAAAAAGUDJFGKLISRKGHSJB

[indigo falcon]

eggs don't transfer from expd to main save, it will be ok

[red zealot]

absolute nightmare 0/10 would recommend

i hated every second

[shy dagger]

destroyed the egg just to be sure

[severe inlet]

kill it with fire

[red zealot]

i thought guardians were the worst spider robots. damn

[gloomy breach]

anything from the expedition worth keeping for main save, i.e. the inverted mirrors or atlandtieum?

[red zealot]

i mean its all pretty easy to get outside of the exp anyways

inverted mirrors maybe

salvaged data absolutely

[wanton frigate]

you don't really need either unless you're on a dissonant planet in the first place and both are easy to get. But fill the box, no sense leaving anything behind. It might seem obvious but bring back all the chromatic metal, ferrite and carbon and leave it there for the next one! For 3 or 4 expeditions in a row I forgot I didn't have hazmat gloves in the main save and forgot to uninstall them and bring them back from the expeditions.

[red zealot]

nav data too

[indigo falcon]

if you wound up with an echo locator, nice to save that. some people like to ship back the quicksilver elixir which apppears to work in the base game to find portals.

thank you Guntie. good bot!

[gloomy breach]

ty all

[winter rover]

Guess who sold his navigation data like an idiot instead of exchanging them for artifact site charts x3
Ill have to explore and find ruins. ah well

[shy dagger]

is it ok if i quit and claim my prizes later?

[royal tundra]

Where can I get the hypnotic eyes?

[shy dagger]

i have completed the expedition

[wraith junco]

In water. Mark task. Mt visor should guide u

[royal tundra]

Why didn’t I think of that?

[shy dagger]

like they wont bug or disappear or stuff

[wraith junco]

Idk.

[red zealot]

why is ||breach 5 higher up than the other objectives? do i do it earlier this time?||

[quaint urchin]

Same reason I didn't think of it until I had swam around for 20 minutes looking for them without marking the mission active... Lol

[rugged cedar]

iss the exp. Quest on VR bugged with 60sec. on Ocean? the Counter will not start

[wanton frigate]

VR doesn't like things where your horizon line is important (where you're looking is not where your horizon is) so it's best to revert to 2D. Same for staring at the sky.

[winter rover]

Okay uh.. found nav datas.. got to a ruin.. counter didnt go up.. guess Im screwed?

[wanton frigate]

Scroll up and review the ruin types. Not a monolith, not a dig, has to be a plaque or the other one

Otherwise... Uh.... I refer to the case of The People Vs "turn off multiplayer and reload"

[winter rover]

MP is turned off

I get those dig ones..

either im dumb or the game isnt clear enough

[royal tundra]

Where is the best water planet in the 5th system?

[winter rover]

I only get dig ones with the charts

[indigo falcon]

buy 3 alien site maps. at the same time. one nav data per map. go to the planet. open them all. spam through any errors. then go to he two sites not marked "monolith"

do not buy the maps that cost 3 nav data per map, those are the wrong ones

open all three at once so they mark all three kinds of sites.

I hope that is clearer.

[winter rover]

ok so the guide im using is telling me crap.. guess Ill do as the game tells me from now

[oblique gazelle]

is someone willing to give me 600 tainted metal

[indigo falcon]

the game says signal scaner, that's crap too.

[winter rover]

at least has a non-zero percent chance to work :P

[indigo falcon]

the 3 maps have a 100% chance though!

[wintry void]

I used exocraft scanner on my 1st run lol

[winter rover]

Yea. have to find more nav data now though.. weee..

[quaint urchin]

Indeed, both times I did it I bought the 3 maps and activated them all at once. It worked flawlessly both playthroughs.

[indigo falcon]

well you likely already know but: fly low, slow, look for unknown building icon in the hud, stop and save-and-chart, repeat.... OR.... go to space stations and look for the yellow and blue cubes lying around, whichever you think is faster

[winter rover]

Can use the signal scanner too, i think you always find a waypoint on the marker, which gives you one nav data

Ah, nevermind, not all the time.. oh joy..

Got some alien charts. Monoliths dont work, got it.

[indigo falcon]

I toooold youuuuuu... 😛

[oblique gazelle]

Big brain question

Is it easier to nanites by animal discovery’s on planets or another way

[wraith junco]

Imo gather worm loot or crystals from dissonant planet and refine them . Geting last Animal for nanite bonus can be a pain.

[indigo falcon]

there are many ways to get nanites. if you're on a dissonant world, gathering radiant shards, well those refine at 50 nanites each. very easy since they are all over

[sullen meteor]

the planets you get sent to in this expedition are all terrible because they have cave fauna, sometimes several, so I wouldn't recommend it

[indigo falcon]

that 600 tainted metal of course becomes nanites

[sullen meteor]

you can try the "create cave floor with the terrain manipulator" trick but I had mixed results with it

[indigo falcon]

scananimals and flora and minerals, once a day at the end ofthe day go to Helios on the Anomaly and collect nanites for that, also then go to Ares and turn in milesstones

[sullen meteor]

probably easiest to just bring some upgrades with you into the expedition and sell them (make sure they're ones you haven't installed yet)

and you'll get some useless upgrades from milestones that you can sell too

[indigo falcon]

you get hadal cores from a milestone, and inverted mirrors from another, even if you want to keep one mirror for a potential sentinel ship, the rest refine, I think those are 95 nanites each

there are curious deposits on some worlds, players have put bases by them, you could look for those too

I have some near one of my mini bases but never bothered, nanites were really easy in this expd

oh and one milestone gives you 1500 nanites....

[oblique gazelle]

Oh cool thanks

[indigo falcon]

if you scan teh anomalous fauna on the exotic world in phase 4 and 5 that's 250 nanites for fauna completion for those, each...

etc. (ok I'll stop now)

[oblique gazelle]

Still need the tainted metal tho just retried the derelict thing with mp off I still fall through it

[indigo falcon]

(well you can also fish: catch and release the fish from tha tmilestone,more nanites, sorry couldn't help myself)

[indigo falcon]

ok would you be willing to reply to bk's message to you? bk has a lot more experience troubleshooting rendering/load/etc issues

[oblique gazelle]

Yes

[indigo falcon]

sweet, hope you can get it figured out!

[oblique gazelle]

Huh 2d?

[red zealot]

is the ||boundary guardian|| supposed to disappear?

||its acting as if i finished the expedition||

||the boundary guardian disappeared||

||i ran out of ammo and summoned my ship to resupply…does that have something to do with it?||

[indigo falcon]

oh, that could have done it. huh. well if the milestone popped, I guess that's it

[red zealot]

was there extra dialogue?

[indigo falcon]

(no you're supposed to actually defeat it)

[red zealot]

FUCK

[indigo falcon]

mm no, not that I remember.

[red zealot]

what can i do??

i already made a restore point…

omg

[indigo falcon]

did the milestone pop? phase 5 last milestone, you can claim the reward? phase 5 end phase you can claim that?

if so there's nothing to be done. watch it on a stream 😛

[red zealot]

yeah

[wraith junco]

Tried to make another water elixir?

[red zealot]

ill try that actually

[indigo falcon]

oh, that's true, I understand that these will summon endless of them in a regular save, if you carry the elixirs over

but there wouldn't be any special lore

I don't think there was after this though either, kind of anticlimactic

I remember thinking "well that was easy" and then "ok baby squiddies, you can sod off now"

and then that was kind of it

[wraith junco]

Yeah . No special dialoges

[indigo falcon]

endings are not necessarily hg's strongest suit in these expeditions though 😄

(yeah yeah "shut up and take your reward" right, shutting up 😛 )

[oblique gazelle]

Scrahhhhhhh

:< friggin quadrapedssss can’t find em brain gonna shut down

[red zealot]

yeah that was so anticlimactic 😭

just beat it with another elixir

[wraith junco]

Lore and story is only thing that keeps me around nms tbf. They should lvl up their story telling game

[indigo falcon]

yeah well.

[red zealot]

im still so confused by the lore of this expedition

[oblique gazelle]

hg was like know what big places galaxies players make up own lore

[indigo falcon]

mmm dissonant resonators? but sounds like you might need a break for a bit before going back to it

[oblique gazelle]

;-;

[wraith junco]

It gives some hints and lore scraps that u need to put together yourself

[oblique gazelle]

Anyway!! Crazy idea tho nms movie?

[wraith junco]

It would be some interstellar/inception mix

[oblique gazelle]

Hg is the equivalent of digital extremes of saying “shut up take your reward n leave”

[red zealot]

it js says “cannot collect” because my inventory is full

does it give you that much?

i had 12 empty slots in my exosuit but i am in a ship

[oblique gazelle]

So dumb question do I need to build a base compute for the anomaly seal?

[indigo falcon]

get out of the ship. then claim the new one 😛

[indigo falcon]

I tihink it needs to be on a base. see though if it shows up in the portable items tab in the build menu, if you are not at a base

I didn't test this

it would be all the way to the right on that first page in the menu

[remote thunder]

oh i checked it, it's not portable

sorry forgot to mention

[indigo falcon]

that is what I expected from the patch notes but hey, you never know

[granite spindle]

You don't need the corrupted sentinel cores for anything right?

[indigo falcon]

the crystallised hearts from the quads? you can give them to mercenary guild envoys for standing

also some sentinel mt slots need them for repair

that's it I think

[remote thunder]

sentinel ships too

[digital oriole]

I don't know why people are so mad over the the Arachnophobia quest

It's easy as hell

[wraith junco]

Not all are as good as you 🙂

[digital oriole]

I found someone who made a farming platform for that

That's how I did it

I bought this game last week

I'm far from good

I found a platform built on top a spot that frequently spawn in gravito balls. I just pick a ball up, jump on the platform, and shoot everything until the spiders came

Shout out to everyone here that built structures to help us easier to complete the expedition

Y'all are the goat

[solemn bane]

Damn, first thing I did was turned the difficulty all the way up and locked the settings and that made this expedition no joke 😆

I actually had to like, buy things and upgrade stuff.

[indigo falcon]

you want to be a little ways form the shore in not super shallow water, look for the icon in the hud, it looks like a red diamond with an exclamation point. none there? try another 200u away

[hoary cypress]

how does the reward ship look like ?

[gritty hollow]

How easy is phase 5? I probably have about 30mins a night to get it finished. Is it pretty straight forward?

[digital oriole]

An UFO

[hoary cypress]

is there a picture of it ?

[digital oriole]

Am I allow to do that?

Or is that spoilers?

[hoary cypress]

you can dm me so the others won't see it

[digital oriole]

This entire expedition is just me going the systems and looking for player built structures to finish the quest faster

I didn't do a lot of thing by myself

[hoary cypress]

how hard is the expedition ?

[indigo falcon]

if you are an experienced player, work around some bad guidance from the game, and don't encounter any bugs, it's pretty reasonable

[hoary cypress]

i made the expedition where you got the drone pet at the end that that took me almost a week to fishish it was so damn hard

[indigo falcon]

which one was that again? sorry...

[hoary cypress]

idk actually

all ik that expedition was hard

how to get this anti anomaly thing ?

found the reciupe

[indigo falcon]

it's a base part, you get it as a reward from milestone Breach Two in phase 2

[hoary cypress]

i just got it at start

[indigo falcon]

oh, you mean the elixir? ah ha yes

[hoary cypress]

yes tha

[indigo falcon]

o hit was voyagers you did, I see

[solemn bane]

I turned the difficulty settings all the way up (as I have done in all the other expeditions) and this one was by far the hardest one. Took me a while to even kill a sentinel walker, which I usually do on the first planet. Having eight idiots pelting you from every angle makes things a pain 😆

[hoary cypress]

well centinel is easy taksd just use the base game bug to kill him

the only problem in this expedition is this anomaly thing that can't be farmed so i keep having view problems

[solemn bane]

Turn the difficulty settings all the way up and constantly have 8 ghost things that never go away and try to kill one with just a pea shooter, see how easy it is

[hoary cypress]

i allways have them after me but they allways miss the shot

[indigo falcon]

you can farm it, you wait for the ghost squids to appear, and start shooting them. after doing that forawhile, go out and get dihydrogen (at the first space station you can buy the gels, then refine them, as soon as you have units to spend)... then make some elixirs

[wintry void]

Just get minotaur with the 30 salvage data from reward, no boundary stuff to worry about

[solemn bane]

With the difficulty settings up you can't farm fast enough to make potions, it's crazy

[hoary cypress]

i have that problem

and thats fine otherwise its to easy anyway

[solemn bane]

I'm tempted to do another run with the difficulty settings as-is to see how much easier it is, but that was a wild run. Pretty rare I get annoyed enough to get a neutron cannon

[indigo falcon]

you and a lot of other players

bunch of other folks used their ship instead

[solemn bane]

Oh also, the first 3 stations have s class neutron cannon upgrades I believe

With those it was back to ez mode.

[halcyon finch]

I forgot the mission scanner thing whatever it’s called existed so that helped me

[indigo falcon]

location scanner. when it works, it can be useful, true enough

[royal tundra]

Absolutely

[indigo falcon]

hey a reminder to folks that the expedition role is now available for self-assignment in #roles (thanks Gleam!)

[wintry void]

Pff got rid of all mine except one, I didnt like the long list of roles I had

[sick sinew]

Chat it won't let me go through the third portal

Does it count if I use the system glyphs?

[sick sinew]

Like with the blood

[indigo falcon]

no it does not.

milestone pinned? what does the lower right tooltip tell you to do?

[solemn bane]

ha "UseSpookHazardOnly": true the spooky expedition

[storm rapids]

where do we find “corrupt quadropeds”?

[remote thunder]

dissonant planets, e.g. breach 3, often guarding dissonance resonators: the large spider on this image

[storm rapids]

gotcha

[remote thunder]

strongly recommend getting paralysis mortar multitool tech from anomaly if you're going on foot, can also use minotaur or go on ship and rocket launcher, if you still have it

[royal tundra]

Wow I hadn’t thought about using the rocket launcher! Wicked!!!!

[remote thunder]

ships with hovering capability will ofc do a lot better for that strategy

might be difficult to pull off with ships that can't hover

[sick sinew]

The big corrupt sentinels

Spiders

[sick sinew]

The guys on the right

[sick sinew]

Get the elixir of blood (with the swirl glyph) which I did, and since the portals (on the hex planet and also on the dissonant planet) only let me pick glyphs I just consumed it

And now I'm stuck with no chromatic metal

[storm rapids]

thanks. got any way to easily find the resnator guys? i found one but couldn’t find any more

[sick sinew]

:/

[sick sinew]

Scan

They look like arms

[eternal cedar]

what's the end date for this expedition yall

[sick sinew]

(the markers)

[remote thunder]

either fly low and slow, like heading north, or use visor to look for radiant shards/lone sentinel and/or dissonance resonators icons in the distance

[remote thunder]

sometimes yes, but use the shards as reference points too

Oh okay, I have the one Fuana, but can't find the 2nd exotic. I'm seeing to just skip it for now and I can get it in the next breach

yes, breach 5 will have a moon with gold on resource list that will have your 2nd scan

ended up not keeping it

Why, was it bad?

Mm

[tight sedge]

I am very very bad at on-foot combat in this game and I keep dying to just the small jumping quads... is there anything I can do, any setting I can change, to help me with the goal for killing the large ones? I don't care about doing it "correctly" anymore, it's going to lock me out of finishing the expedition at this rate...

Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[sick sinew]

Yeah, I'd recommend maybe turning down your difficulty settings and (if you don't want to, like me) you can get some upgrades for your pulse spitter via other systems' stations and the guy at the anomaly

I got two C class ones and an S class

[remote thunder]

first suggestion: if your immediate problem is controlling the battlefield, then i'd strongly recommend unlocking paralysis mortar tech from multitool research npc. it's a secondary attachment that you can have out at the same time as your primary weapon e.g. pulse spitter, and the way it then plays out is you find a enemy, shoot paralysis mortar with alt fire, they get stunned and rooted down for a few seconds (when stunned, floaters can't heal others), giving you time to empty pulse spitter clips on them. if you got a supercharged slot available, use it, put whatever primary weapon tech you want to use in there, the base tech, not the upgrades.

2. you can be selective. you can track down dissonance resonators, which are often guarded by large spiders, the ones you need to take out for this milestone. can find them while exploring and using visor, or even from the air using your ship.

3. could use minotaur cannon, or even rocket launcher from your ship to take them out when you see them down on the ground. remember that there's multiple milestones that reward combat related upgrades e.g. pulse spitter, impact igniter, s-class pulse engine module; s-class pulse engine modules are also available in space stations.

see my pulse spitter cluster, impact igniter at the top, as well as paralysis mortar top right?

[gloomy breach]

Very nice post @remote thunder . One thing I can also add @tight sedge is utilizing your cloak when you reload. this makes a difference as well. Lastly, you can build a small base so you have something to run inside and heal. this does not take long and can make a large difference as well, especially if you put down the buildable anomaly protection devices (i forget what they are called)

[remote thunder]

yeah, can definitely have a shelter nearby to catch a breather

[slim timber]

plenty of time left

[slim timber]

Ok thanks!

[gloomy breach]

yeah i did mine over the weekend and finished today.

there is also a guide you can complete in like 5-6 hours (he says 4, but maybe i am just slow lol). https://youtu.be/XxCykLZ66tI?si=Rrq7xNZ7a86Dou2B

[remote thunder]

4h possibly less from what i'm seeing depending on spawn point

i'm less than 2h in, phase3 half way done - multiple milestones from phase 4 and 5 done

started from new save, good spawn point iow not underwater

let's see how it goes, i reckon i can pull the rest in less than 2h

[gloomy breach]

wow! Well, i am always slow at everything so there is also that haha.

[remote thunder]

well, note this is my 3rd run

not my first

[gloomy breach]

oh wow.

ok 😄

[remote thunder]

every run you get to refine some stuff

it's ofc most important to be aware of what will come next

if you don't miss opportunities to grab stuff that you'll need for later, or even for later phases.. if you know that there are certain milestones from phases ahead that can be completed and claimed out of order, even if you're still in a much earlier phase

that all helps

doing 2, 3 milestones on the same planet, possibly working for them at the same time

for example, doing phase 2 milestone 2, phase 3 milestone 1, phase 5 milestone 2 and phase 5 milestone 5 all on the same planet, all chained together/at the same time

[whole seal]

Does the last system happen to be a dissonant one? Maybe...?

And featuring an exotic world? Maybe...?

[remote thunder]

breach 5 does have an exotic biome planet; not sure about dissonance now sorry

don't think so

[whole seal]

I have a base in system 2. That might'ev been dissonant

[remote thunder]

breach 3 planet is def dissonant; just check your discoveries list, and the post <#nms-expedition message>

[whole seal]

ah

Can we use old blood potion to get back to the earlier breach systems? I assume so..

[remote thunder]

not sure, because you've completed the breach boundary milestone

[whole seal]

I guess I should've put a base in system 3, then... Hmmm.

I've not completed the atlantidium milestone and I'm in the 2nd to last system

[low jackal]

can you use teleporter to return to previous breach?

[whole seal]

Apparently.

Oh -- the stations

Well... hmm

[remote thunder]

you could try to use the anomaly teleporter, in search of a base named "exp16 - breach3", or "rdv3"

gaxaral is uncharted unfortunately, so yeah, no station

in gaxaral you'll also have other useful planets @whole seal

[haughty lava]

I completed the expedition but I don’t see my ship in my inventory 😭

[remote thunder]

there's an exotic biome there as well

[haughty lava]

Did i do something wrong?

[remote thunder]

what inventory?

[whole seal]

Wow, so without some clever maneuvering, I'm blocked

[haughty lava]

My lists of ships

[remote thunder]

well - we know the glyph addresses, up to you how to proceed from here

[whole seal]

Ah right

[remote thunder]

Well... Maybe there's time to revert to the previous save. I'll check in a mo.

Anyone else have issues with the floating in the deep goal, where the timer won't start till you put away your terrain manipulator? It's almost like they don't want you to dig your own depth

[remote thunder]

Maybe there's time to revert to the previous save. I'll check in a mo.
no need, you're fine yeah, switch isn't affected

[remote thunder]

Anyone else have issues with the floating in the deep goal, where the timer won't start till you put away your terrain manipulator? It's almost like they don't want you to dig your own depth
no, some people have been using that strategy to get the milestone actually. at what depth are you rn?

[wanton frigate]

We deserve to be affected just like everyone else! I'm sick of being the poor relative in the corner eating turkey twizzlers and cranberry caprisun!

[modern sierra]

Hello people, i have a question about the expedition, if i started the expedition in the new-world-save, can i transfer item and goodies to the main profile?

[wanton frigate]

It worked. But not till I put away the terrain manipulator. 60-something U

New save? You can claim the rewards from the QS dealer. But you can't send mundane stuff like carbon and inverted mirrors over without both jiggery and pokery

Or convert the save at the end and make it your new main!

[modern sierra]

QS dealer? Who or what is it?

[wanton frigate]

Quicksilver. On the anomaly, the first shop front you see on the right of the Nexus

[halcyon finch]

How can I do arachnophobia

[remote thunder]

see this post <#nms-expedition message>

[modern sierra]

Ok, but i`m talking about mods for exosuit, ship and goodies such as valuable items and inventory expanding mods, i would like to transfer them to my main. And another quit important thing that i don't have any skill in transfering saves

[remote thunder]

@halcyon finch •corrupt sentinels: Tarum 95/E1 (Breach 3 system Gaxaral)

[remote thunder]

you asked the same question in two channels, but then forgot to check the other one.

i'd suggest doing so

[strange ivy]

Uhh so it tells me I spent 36 hours on my expedition lol

[modern sierra]

oh, i'm sorry, didn't get any notification, thx

[strange ivy]

Wait I just ended the expedition why do I not have the spaceship???

[remote thunder]

if you started from new save: goto anomaly in main save, quicksilver shop, claim expedition rewards

[strange ivy]

Oh okay I freaked out for a min

[remote thunder]

(if you started from existing save, you can either do that ^, or if you finished with boundary herald equipped: using the expedition terminus to copy the ship)

[modern sierra]

how am i supposed to farm 4000< nanites... in my main save i got only 2k in my whole experience..

[halcyon finch]

How can I get back there if I have no space station or base there

[remote thunder]

there's various sources. e.g. there's 1 milestone that will reward you with 1.5K nanites. you can refine radiant shards, runaway mould, tainted metal, larval cores, hadal cores, fleshy rope, vile spawn - with the exception of tainted metal, all resources obtainable from planets you will go to for other milestones.

[remote thunder]

either portal back (quicksilver>portal>post with glyph addresses <#nms-expedition message>, or try to enter anomaly and check teleporter for other player bases in breach 3 system (probably bases named like "exp16 - breach 3"; if none popped, exit+reenter anomaly to connect to a diff instane)

[hearty briar]

If I only claim the new ship from the quecksilver guy, will it have those upgrades in it? Because if yes, I could just keep the ship I currently use in the expedition PLUS get the new ship, right? Or can someone tell me If I am wrong?

[lethal mirage]

is cursed out yet?

or we still on aquarious

[hearty briar]

yeah for like a week

[lethal mirage]

...ihfgdgfjgtyikjdugyt

[hearty briar]

but u gotta hurry it wont last long

[lethal mirage]

how long do i got

[hearty briar]

approximately two weeks and it has been out for 6 days now

[lethal mirage]

ight 2 weeks i can do that

[hearty briar]

nono

2 weeks from the release

[lethal mirage]

...oh

well uh

speedrun?

[hearty briar]

hahaha you have 8 days

[modern sierra]

If I am in a save with an expedition, I leave a chest with all my loot from the expedition, then find this chest in a normal save and take all the loot from there, there will be no penalty for this?
Ban, for example?

[magic swift]

Hey how do i complete the Serenity, reclaimed mission?

[hearty briar]

It will not work

[magic swift]

Ive tried already but it wont do anything?

[modern sierra]

Even if i start the expedition on my main save?

[lethal mirage]

more like 4 because mh wilds beta

[hearty briar]

Yeah

[hearty briar]

ohh damn

[remote thunder]

when you claim boundary herald from quicksilver shop/claim expedition reward option, it will have its default tech layout. if you've been upgrading the boundary herald you got in expedition save itself, and you started exp16 from existing save then you'll also be able to copy or iow clone that very ship and its current tech inventory back to primary, yes.

[modern sierra]

Where should i find the scrap guy on the space station? I remember only the old stations..

[lethal mirage]

He's underneath some stairs i think

[hearty briar]

Do you know if the ship from the quecksilver is also an S rank?

[remote thunder]

goto space, pulse around to the planet's night side, right in the middle of it pulse drive down, if it's not storming exit ship and look straight up. be sure to have the milestone selected.

[remote thunder]

yes it is

[remote thunder]

in the back, face the appearance modifier, to your right, behind the staircase

[magic swift]

Alright is it a specific planet or no?

[remote thunder]

doesn't have to be a specific planet no, just night side on a planet, look up: watch the hint lower right (remember that you can force cycle hints by pressing H or dpad left)

[magic swift]

Ight thank you

[wanton frigate]

Update - so I had put the switch to sleep almost as soon as I'd claimed the egg. Came back to it there, instant crash on resuming. I can't prove it was the egg but.....on reloading I hadn't claimed phase 4 yet so we'll never know 😉

[remote thunder]

hmm, had someone post a video that they were able to even hatch it

and it makes sense too, because switch is one version behind

anyways, glad that you were able to get past that crash after

[bleak turret]

Guys, i am about to start the expedition, i want to have a smooth time but dont want to go with way too much stuff to the point it is just boring, any sugestion of must have stuff? I also want to avoid spoilers too, so i will only read messages that either ping me or are a reply to this one

[remote thunder]

see this post please <#nms-expedition message>

[bleak turret]

the thing is, i dont want to bring all those stuff

[remote thunder]

just pick some out of that then, add your own preferences too

[bleak turret]

only must have stuff like auto charger, or personal miner mk2

or things that are used but are pain to get in the expedition

did you read the post?

Where am I supposed to find that creatures for the Arachnophobia-phase? Don‘t know if it‘s the same name in english…

[wanton frigate]

Expedition done. Woohoo! Not chuffed that it's charging me 1400 nanites to claim my "prize" though, whether I buy and add or exchange. Wonder if it's because I'm flying an Interceptor and it has a hyperdrive?

[remote thunder]

yeah, we've all been getting that as well, i've personally yet to test whether declining it at that point - after clicking on final expedition badge, on foot - still does the account wide unlock, but i assume it does.

[wanton frigate]

So I'm wasting my time shuffling inventory items?
(The message on the final phase reward says "cannot collect, inventory full" but freeing up space in exosuit and ship doesn't seem to help)

[remote thunder]

need to be on foot to claim the ship

I started the Expedition via the Anomaly. I heard on one YouTube video that there was an issue with people losing frigates once they completed the Expedition.

I just completed the expedition, and I have ALL my frigates. 🙂

[remote thunder]

a bug regarding starting from existing+frigates? strange, i've not heard of that

glad it all worked out just fine though, congrats on making it to the end 🙂

[glass stump]

Thanks. Could not have done it without the help from all here.

At phase 2 already, speedruning going well enough

[fringe sierra]

Ok so im confused. What is the system name for the 4th phase

[remote thunder]

Rocangh

confirm breach 4 planet glyph address <#nms-expedition message>

[fringe sierra]

That's what I thought.

I was in it. Used quick silver and went to portal. But it didn't register. And it says the mission is in a different system

[remote thunder]

did you craft the right type of elixir of blood? do you have the right phase/breach boundary milestone selected?

are you playing solo or with friends?

[fringe sierra]

Yea

[remote thunder]

are you playing solo or with friends?

[fringe sierra]

Solo but online services are on. Have been whole time

[remote thunder]

ODS is fine, no problems there, that's not a multiplayer connection, so no worries

post a screenshot of the glyphs of the current system

enter photo mode, press shift twice to bring up glyphs lower left if needed, grab the screen

[halcyon finch]

How do I find arachnophobia spiders? Do I look around or kill sentinels

[magic swift]

Wait can i go to a different system to complete a objective? There are no water planets in my system and i need to swim in one for 60 sec?

[tiny glen]

uhhh what do i do if my freighter has 0 tainted metal

[fringe sierra]

I meen I've been going back and fourth between the different systems space stations. And made a base on the 3rd system.

But im only in the expedition systems I made a new save

[magic swift]

Ive found one thank you though 🙏

[remote thunder]

goto a dissonant planet (breach 3 planet), look for dissonance resonator drill like machines: often there will be large spiders guarding them, just shoot/kill them (might want to lure/kite any floaters around first)

[remote thunder]

1. turn in crew manifest and captains log to scrap dealer;
2. if needed farm another 5M, wait for the daily reset, buy more coordinates from scrap dealer, run another. starter system layout is pretty easy and with lots of crates, i got 300+ tainted metal from looting crates/suitcases/lockers inside

[tiny glen]

oh right you get some for turning the things in\

ill just dupe the rest

[remote thunder]

that's the right system, yes. i'd recommend deleting all elixirs of blood, all elixirs of quicksilver, disabling multiplayer, save, return to main menu. restart game. launch again, reselect breach 4 milestone, then wait for/force cycle hints lower right of the screen by pressing H or dpad left (spam it if needed), then follow exactly what the hint says to do.

[magic swift]

How are you supposed to get the eye of an abysall horror?

[feral sequoia]

kill them

you don't have to get close to them you can just shoot them

[magic swift]

Oh shit i thought they still had to be alive mb

[feral sequoia]

Could anyone who's gotten the ship and kitted it out already send me a screenshot of how you've arranged your tech?
I'm trying to do something but if it works I won't be able to move main tech pieces like the hyperdrive and pulse engine, so I just need to know the best way to arrange it before I do.

[magic swift]

What are the quadrupeds?

Corrupt ones?

[remote thunder]

on the right:

[magic swift]

Ah shit ight thank you

[remote thunder]

paralysis mortar can keep them perma stunned while you unleash clips of ammo of your primary weapon tech (supercharge your weapon core tech, place any upgrade modules you have for it in adjacent slots), trivializing them almost (can kite floaters away first, if there's any - the time they will take to get back over you'll probably have killed the spider already, don't worry about the resonator). minotaur cannon can as well. a ship with hovering capabilities can do it too (seems rocket launcher is popular these days 😄 ).

@magic swift remember that if you wish to leave breach 3 system, it's strongly recommended to drop and claim a base computer even if just because you're not quite sure if you need to get back later. 30 chromatic metal, a few minutes to drop and claim a base comp can save lots of minutes later on in case you forgot to do something in this system (check pinned posts)

[magic swift]

Thanks heaps ive killed a couple of the quads

[fringe sierra]

K so I did that.

I already had the 4th portal found at this point. I re loaded and it said I needed to make the elixir of blood. So I did and then it said my mission is in another system

[remote thunder]

try drinking another elixir of quicksilver in space

[fringe sierra]

Should I go back to 3rd system and maybe try redoing that

If this doesn't work

[halcyon finch]

I thought it was temp stun

[remote thunder]

i think i'd rather suggest you trigger the out of range state for that milestone, using (multiple, if needed) anomaly featured bases. (just make sure you've got an easy teleport back into breach 4, just in case later - visit the station of the system at least if you haven't yet)

how to trigger out of range state (ignore black hole method): <#bot-spam message>

[remote thunder]

it is, but since para mortar can be equipped side by side with our primary fire, we can just keep reapplying the stun

[halcyon finch]

Seems when I try that I miss them so they keep repairing

[fringe sierra]

So could have summoning the anomaly cause it to break?

[remote thunder]

para mortar does have a small aoe - you don't necessarily need to hit them head on. if you stun the floaters, they will stop healing.what i usually do is

1. i'll try and kite the floaters away first: i'll destroy a rock like 15u, 20u away from them to draw their attention, then turn all my focus on the spider. with a supercharged pulse spitter tech+3 s-class pulse spitter modules, they went down real easy.
2. if any healer approaches, and i'm not done with the spider for some reason yet, i just stun the spider, take out the healer, and refocus back on spider.
3. if you're using pulse spitter, be sure to also be using impact igniter - if you set them on fire with pulse spitter, even if they cloak, you can still just see the flames

it's well worth looking at space station mt upgrade module shops: starter system has a s-class pulse (and save+reload restocks them, so you could buy one, save+reload and buy another right after)

[halcyon finch]

I might end up using my ship to do it, I do have a pretty good sentinel ship

[remote thunder]

hovering will work great for this yep.

do recommend practicing para mortar combo sometime

off expedition maybe

[remote thunder]

uh, i don't think so, but maybe depending on what milestone is selected. not sure i guess, don't really see why it would atm.

[halcyon finch]

Yeah I just want to get this over with so I get a cool millennium falcon looking ship

[fringe sierra]

K so I guess idk what I'm doing. I tried to follow that step thing u linked but im confused

[remote thunder]

it's simple. goto space, keep multiplayer disabled, summon anomaly. goto teleporter. teleport to a Featured base in Euclid, after you arrive goto space, wait a few seconds, pause, goto Log tab (not Expedition tab), and look at the lower right of the screen: do you see the restart using nearby structures button? if yes, press&hold it (or just press, depending on your settings). if not, then resummon anomaly again, teleport to a different featured base, still in Euclid ofc, and - repeat same steps with multiple featured bases if needed, but stay in Euclid. (bases that don't say any galaxy name, are in the same galaxy as you are right now, which is where you want to remain in)

I guess the egg being empty is still broken

well, I spent mine already so it's too late to do anything else. RIP.

❗ Bug Warning !!! 🤬 🥚

There is currently an issue with the Glowing Egg expedition reward (see image »). We strongly recommend players to NOT yet claim this reward until Hello Games has fixed it.

Users have reported the Egg to disappear after hatching without a companion being added. Further more, we have noticed having the egg in inventory to possibly cause further issues.

You may wish to create a backup if possible. Run !faq-savefiles in #bot-spam

Update October 28th 2024

The issue has just been patched on the Steam Experimental branch. If you are able, and wish to opt-in to the experimental branch, make sure to carefully read the provided info.

Note: Reporting this specific issue is no longer required.

[remote thunder]

it's already fixed on steam experimental

just wait for the next public patch

[clever sail]

I guess I can just wait to end the expedition...

[remote thunder]

it doesn't matter

[azure jasper]

I don't like this expedition... it spawned on on an Island with nothing on it.

[remote thunder]

many of us did. there's a way.

if you started from new save, you can just quit, delete save, make a new one

that said:

[azure jasper]

I started from a main

[remote thunder]

there's 1 dihydrogen jelly in your ship, there's 1 repair kit in your ship

dismantling rocket launcher will get you 100 copper and some condensed carbon

dismantling scanner will get you some ferrite dust

completing phase 2 milestone fear the sun will get you prebuilt personal refiner mk1

look at what more you can dismantle for mats

you can make it out

[azure jasper]

I had to strategically die with the materials I needed

[clever sail]

Ok, does the award form the anomoly vendor give the same egg you get as a phase reward? cause if so then I can just continue on

[azure jasper]

Had to get close enough for my grave marker to be within reach of my spawn point.

[remote thunder]

yes

that's exactly how you'll get the egg on your main save

can't bring eggs over from exp to primary via exp terminus
