[remote thunder]

fear the sun == personal refiner mk1 out of the water before even getting to ship

[languid spoke]

and even having a base strategy as in try to find all fauna on a planet to get nanites which enables you to get tech fast or even get a ship from a previous expedition (if you want) which can significantly change the expedition experience

[remote thunder]

yep, always get the most info of a system and its planets

if a planet has 4-6 fauna, then it's the devs giving a way into 1000-1500 nanites easy

[feral sequoia]

You get nanites for scanning animals?

[remote thunder]

won't take long to find 6 fauna for sure

[remote thunder]

extra nanite bonus reward for zoology

seriously, so OP

[languid spoke]

i always check if there are any rare undergrounds and if so it is up to having RNG on your side or skipping that planet for the nanites in that case

[remote thunder]

4-6 fauna are usually all birds, or a couple birds and grounds

[faint mesa]

When I started I spawned near an abandoned building.
I hadn't even checked the milestones. Went for all the larval cores and refined into nanites instinctively.
At this point there are certain milestones I expect to be there already. 😆

Scanning everything possible is also good practice I guess, especially in planets on rendezvous systems...

[remote thunder]

i just quickly pause and check how many fauna - if within those ranges, i go for zoology

[faint mesa]

Yep. When there's 4, it's usually all flying creatures... pretty easy to clear.

[floral timber]

Should I claim the new ship in the expedition or in my primary save?

[hazy sparrow]

You can do both, I think.

I claimed the Starborne Runner while still in the expedition, transferring it over to my main save, and another Starborn Runner is still claimable there.

[tulip spire]

Why doesn't a visit to the ruins count? I bought a map and used it to find the ruins, but it didn't count for me

[stone lotus]

I think it can't be a monolith, plaque, or artifact site.

[low jackal]

It'll show as "ancient ruin" or something similar

[tulip spire]

That didn't count either

[low jackal]

are you at a dig site or with the one with tall building

[tulip spire]

The one with tall building

[low jackal]

weird that should count

have you interacted with it

[tulip spire]

Would it only count with a signal booster?

[tulip spire]

No, i can't

I'll try another one

[low jackal]

there should be like a stature thing you can interact with

[tulip spire]

Yeah, i know, but somehow i can not interact with it

I just try another, maybe that one is bugged, or something

[stable leaf]

How do find exotic planets???

[wraith junco]

Check names in systems

Looks for anomalus or redacted in name

[tulip spire]

Okay, the other one worked
Thank you

[fickle night]

do yall transfer the Elixirs to main save?

[remote thunder]

gentle reminder, [REDACTED] could also be megaexotic

[remote thunder]

can only transfer elixir of quicksilver and water iirc can transfer all

[fickle night]

i wanted to transfer them, but, i already transfered the mats- 😭

[remote thunder]

a exp16 converted-to-normal save would ofc keep all the bps

[fickle night]

oh wait

we keep the bp?

really??

[remote thunder]

not if you started from existing save

[fickle night]

ahhhh

you mean if started anew

[remote thunder]

yep

a exp run that was started from existing doesn't go through the conversion process

[wraith junco]

Yep. Thats one reason why pepole kept old exp saves

[woven shadow]

Expedition time!

I sent myself some S-class exosuit upgrades and expansion slots for the exosuit, ship, and multi-tool

Although I need to collect more of those in the main save before my next expedition

[fickle night]

i can put em all

i need more storage box

xD

can transfer all :3

[stone lotus]

This is false. I was able to transfer all

[remote thunder]

okay, nice, then mb, i misunderstood then

[stone lotus]

And yes, they transferred successfully

[fickle night]

omaga you made a lot xD

[remote thunder]

good to know?

honestly.. they're curiosities at best

[stone lotus]

I'm not sure what started the rumor that you could only transfer some of them

You're the second person I've seen saying that

[remote thunder]

don't know, i believe i saw someone say it yes

[stone lotus]

Lol

[remote thunder]

in any case

a portal found by a elixir of quicksilver behaves normally in non-exp

[stone lotus]

I love curiosities. I'll show you my collection some time. I have stuff from most expeditions, even ones that ran before they made it possible to go through an existing save (i kept the new saves and had friends help with moving the items to my main save)

[ashen vine]

hey all i need help, someone was fighting the end boss near me and it completed the milestone for me, but i cant end the expedition even though everything is finished, do i still need to fight the end boss?

[remote thunder]

have you tried clicking on that big yellow badge there on the right?

[ashen vine]

Im an idiot

[remote thunder]

heh, found some oxygen rerouters the other day inside my base salvage capsule

[ashen vine]

Got it, thanks! Wild, i fired 3 shots on the end boss and did my second to last milestone and then he defeated the boss and it finished for me

[stone lotus]

I pay big money (in in game stuff lol) for those if you ever want to trade, but that's a conversation for another place and time

[worn heron]

isn't end of the year repeats of the year's missions? I'm kinda looking forward to getting the first couple since I bowed out for a while (so many games and so little time).

[hoary harbor]

Im stuck on phase 1 cuz i cant get any chromatic metal anywhere. Please help asap

[remote thunder]

where did you spawn?

dismantle rocket launcher for 100 copper

[remote thunder]

usually, and if they stick to the pattern, later this year yes

[hoary harbor]

Idk?

[remote thunder]

e.g. underwater, on land,

[hoary harbor]

On land

Looking for cadmium

[remote thunder]

shouldn't be too hard; look for any stellar metal; remember that buried caches can also drop valuables, including cadmium, emeril and indium

that said

@hoary harbor to make sure you saw this:

dismantle rocket launcher for 100 copper

[hoary harbor]

Thanks

I just now came across cadmium😅

[fervent heron]

Finally done with this Expedition. I love the final reward but the expedition itself was more... Annoying than the previous one.

[weary pecan]

Starting to really piss me off that I can’t find a single storm crystal

I’ve spent over 5 hours on one phase of this bullshit

[sullen linden]

1. Hello Doctor Who fan

2. If you're on a stormy planet, wait for storms and use punch + jetpack to get around quickly

[remote thunder]

•storm crystals: Urston (Breach 2 system: Temeferi X) (and others)
there's also an irradiated biome planet in the same system

[sullen linden]

I think there's a flame planet in breach 4 too

[weary pecan]

What is their problem adding these ridiculous obstacles just to add “””””””difficulty””””””

To an expedition

I’m on phase two, it won’t let me continue without them

[remote thunder]

•storm crystals: Urston (Breach 2 system: Temeferi X) (and others)
there's also an irradiated biome planet in the same system

[sullen linden]

What properties do the planets in your system have, Sutekh?

Plus remember you have the portal glyphs

You can go to any world you've got the address for

[remote thunder]

if they're in phase 2 system Temerifi rn, there's 2 suitable planets to gather storm crystals there

[weary pecan]

I don’t have a hyperdrive so I can’t leave the system, but I’ve got two planets and neither show anything activated, one is a bubble planet

[sullen linden]

You can leave the system via the teleporter, or using portal glyphs

[remote thunder]

look for the planet called Urston

[weary pecan]

In in a system called samadano

[remote thunder]

there's no need to leave the Temerifi system

[alpine topaz]

On the teleporter you can visit other ppls bases. Which you may find a storm crystal planet.

[sullen linden]

This ^ Other people's bases have a ton of materials

[weary pecan]

I’ll check into the teleporter and also see if I can get to the system he’s saying I need to be in

[remote thunder]

that's the starter system -

Hewn from Light - Collect Storm Crystals: 5

is a milestone from phase 2, which you'd get to after completing the breach boundary milestone from phase 1

if you were in temerifi, you'd not have to leave

iow, if you still haven't completed all milestones from phase 1 do so, if you have then return to temerifi

[weary pecan]

I’ve just returned to temerifi

[remote thunder]

there's two planets there with storm crystals at least

[sullen linden]

Sutekh, may I make a suggestion to help you later on?

When you get to a dissonant world, get a sentinel spaceship. It can help clear the arachnophobia mission. Find those enemies close to those dissonance spikes and blast them outta the sky with your ship. Then land, leave your ship to make a restore point and reload that restore point. Since and repeat and you'll beat that mission in 5 minutes

[remote thunder]

i'd recommend not using hyperdrive to get from one rdv system to the next - use the portals as intended by the relevant milestones of each phase

[sullen linden]

Aye, a hyperdrive would make the expedition longer than needed

[remote thunder]

Systems are all quite close to each other, more to avoid breaking milestone progression

Agreed

[blissful onyx]

I'ma start trying today then

been on and off w it still on phase 3

[woven shadow]

Oh okay I have something I need to make Chromatic Metal but I need to get myself a refiner….

[remote thunder]

Complete and claim phase 2 fear the sun milestone

Install received prebuilt personal refiner mk1

@woven shadow Remember that terrain Manip flatten mode works a lot faster than just delete

Dig a hole, aim inside, switch to flatten mode, flatten away

Milestone wants volume of dirt, not distance

[gaunt ridge]

Hey does anyone have the coords for the purple floating island planet in the expedition?

I wanted to settle there maybe

[remote thunder]

Should be in the pins

[gaunt ridge]

In the chat here?

[remote thunder]

Yeah

[lavish steeple]

Can you make chromatic metal out of other metals or just copper?

[remote thunder]

Out of any stellar metal or its activated versions

[primal smelt]

Hi all, 'the cursed' is my first expedition (im a noob) how am I supposed to get silver and gold? it doesnt seem to spawn on the planet

[lavish steeple]

Oh awesome! Thanks!

[lavish steeple]

Asteroid belts.

Newb too.

[primal smelt]

Oh wow, ofcourse!

[lavish steeple]

Probably gonna starting wiking stuff so I'm not asking stupid questions. 😂

[primal smelt]

thanks!

[lavish steeple]

No problem. 🙂

[gaunt ridge]

Can't seem to find it

[remote thunder]

Shoot the ones that are very large and don't blow up immediately, sorts like need to be terrain manipulated

[primal smelt]

I figured maybe buying of npc's was the only way, but I thought there had to be a less cheesy way

[remote thunder]

Lots of pins in this channel that can help, anything else feel free to ask

[remote thunder]

Gold for example, could be obtained by refining stuff like magno gold or living pearl

The former can drop from buried mineral formations, for example

[balmy pagoda]

So does the boundary herald always cost 1400 nanites even after we got it from the expedition rewards? I just tried on another save and went to anomaly and it lets me get it from the quicksilver synthesis companion but it's saying I have to pay 1400 nanites to buy it?

[remote thunder]

yep, unless options/difficulty/purchases is set to free: UI still displays that price, but wont actually deduct anything.

that said, not really diff to get, even on a new save

a planet with 6 fauna and the nanite bonus reward would give us more than that

[remote thunder]

System: Temerifi X
Planet: Ecorsfi

(link to pinned post <#nms-expedition message>)

[worthy horizon]

Where do i get 600 tainted metal on the freighter? Lot of the little chaches give me nanites. Is there something im missing? (Btw on the der freighter rn, going through it, thought i ask before dinishing it)

[remote thunder]

loot all lootables, including crew terminal and captains terminal to get crew manifest and captains log: then make sure to turn in both to scrap dealer at space station

[balmy pagoda]

Well it's greyed out because my other save doesn't have enough Nanites. Also my expedition save I can't technically claim it or complete the expedition, I get Inventory Full error on the final rewards screen.

[remote thunder]

Inventory Full error
exit current ship, then claim

because my other save doesn't have enough Nanites.
no worries, can claim it later, even after exp 16 ends, as long as you unlock it account wide by claiming it in expedition before it does ofc

🙂

[worthy horizon]

@remote thunder okay thanks!

[lavish steeple]

Have tried both of these things, and I'm not getting any chromatic metal, nor am I able to refine it into chromatic metal.

[remote thunder]

that tip was for getting gold and silver from asteroids

[lavish steeple]

Oh.

Lmao.

[remote thunder]

wait

just a sec

i'll regrab the text

Gold for example, could be obtained by refining stuff like magno gold or living pearl
The former can drop from buried mineral formations, for example.

and i'll add, "living pearl drops from armored clams underwater"

[lavish steeple]

This is to attain chromatic metal?

[remote thunder]

ah sorry sorry

for cmetal

well you just look for deposits of whatever stellar metal there is on the planet, e.g. copper, or cadmium, etc; or from buried caches, which can drop cadmium, emeril or indium

[lavish steeple]

Oh, perfect thank you.

[remote thunder]

like this one see?

[lavish steeple]

Got it, awesome.

[remote thunder]

nice @lavish steeple! (yeah, on the visor, look for icons like that and aim at them - if you look at the resource list on the right when using visor, you'll have either copper/cadmium/emeril/indium (or their activated versions). all those elements refine to cmetal at various ratios)

Went to planet of light already

[remote thunder]

a moon in the next system, phase 5

Luckily I have a hyperdrive so I can just warp thefe

there was no need

you're not forced to, genetic glitch doesn't give a reward that's necessary to complete all other milestones from phase 4

[blissful onyx]

I see, good to know

[remote thunder]

this allows one to preview rewards ahead

and if needed, focus on doing milestones from phase ahead, to get access to useful rewards as early as possible

e.g. phase 2 fear the sun, personal refiner mk1, objective: delete terrain

[blissful onyx]

Oh ok

I did the nanites one in phase 5 by accident

[remote thunder]

"do it, get its reward, refocus on phase 1"

[blissful onyx]

when I copied the stuff over

[remote thunder]

yep, that's right

ofc, you'd not try to breach 5 without having done all prev breaches

[blissful onyx]

yea, I've been following the route till now

[remote thunder]

which is the safest

[blissful onyx]

I think I can just stay in the phase 5 region till I'm through

[dusk sky]

when i go to copy my ship, the ship that comes up to copy are my main save ship, as well as multi-tool, and it asks if I want to copy those, not the ship from the expedition

[blissful onyx]

Since there's water

[dusk sky]

sos

[blissful onyx]

I haven't done the dissonant crabs yet tho

[woven shadow]

Woo I have my usual ship and multitool back

[remote thunder]

boundary herald is an account wide unlock; in any of your other saves, goto quicksilver shop, click claim expedition rewards, and it will be there, along other phase and final expedition rewards, including the translucent spawn egg

[dusk sky]

But it's not available to my primary save?

the actual save I did the expedition on lol

[remote thunder]

it is - goto quicksilver shop

[dusk sky]

ah it's in the shop, not the terminal i see

[remote thunder]

"claim expedition rewards" dialog option

[dusk sky]

thank you

They there forever? Or limited time to grab them on multiple saves?

[remote thunder]

for it to be in there, you'd have had to have it equipped before returning to primary/finishing

[remote thunder]

forever, tied to account

[dusk sky]

sick

[remote thunder]

remember, the rewards of each phase, the final expedition reward (in exp16, a ship named boundary herald), in all expeditions, are always unlocked account wide. so it won't just be an expedition 16 thing.

[dusk sky]

so if I do expedition 20, I'll still have the ability to claim expedition 16?

if I never claimed it to begin with

[remote thunder]

when you do expedition 20, you get its phase and final rewards unlocked and added to account, and yes the ones from expedition 16 would be claimable in expedition 20, as early as you unlocked anomaly

account wide unlocks can be claimed once per save, iow

can't claim the same reward multiple times from the shop, same as non-consumable quicksilver purchases

[dusk sky]

Nice

[faint mesa]

I wonder how different this expedition would have been if I had claimed a ship with hyperdrive...

[dusk sky]

very useful info ty ty

[faint mesa]

Are the systems far away from each other?

[remote thunder]

nah

if you look at the glyph addresses, last 8 are always the same

<#nms-expedition message>

[hidden nacelle]

Im having issues with the portals not working correctly. They just try to activate like normal portals. It started acting up for the 4th portal and now I cannot get the 5th portal to work with the blood option at all

[remote thunder]

are you in Umardag system?

[hidden nacelle]

No. Do I need to go there to fix it? It keeps telling me to go to Rocangh

[remote thunder]

what's the glyph you see on the milestone?

[faint mesa]

Same region, then? Seems like a "normal" expedition route

[remote thunder]

yep

[hidden nacelle]

Sunset

Im on Phase 5 > Breach Five. I have all of the first 4 phases 100% complete

[remote thunder]

if the mission hint/galaxy map pathline is telling you to go to Rocangh, i'd go there and check the marked portal there, if it's asking for blood

but breach 5 would normally end up in Umardag

[hidden nacelle]

I am there, it just acts like a normal portal. Some times wants me to charge each glyph, some times I can just activate the portal

[remote thunder]

i'd just goto umardag, and drink a quicksilver there in space. have multiplayer disabled

question: have you been using hyperdrive to move around instead of portals?

[hidden nacelle]

No

[remote thunder]

ok thanks

[hidden nacelle]

Solved... I just happened to look up at another planet and there was another unhighlighted portal on another planet. I have flown around numerous times before looking and never saw another

[remote thunder]

lmao - i mean.

sorry, it's not you

it's just

i

thought about just as i tuned in

and then

i figured it wasn't worth suggesting lmao

[hidden nacelle]

Just weird that the portal on the Planet of Light that the quicksilver directed me to, is the one that was not working though

[remote thunder]

i'm sorry

well, third time's the charm - next time for sure will be telling people to look for the other marker first

😄

[remote thunder]

yeah, not sure, i didn't experience this issue - i basically took it very slowly, and very patiently, and only did stuff when it told me to

[hidden nacelle]

It was also kinda of hidden with some ones base marker as well

[remote thunder]

if you have mp enabled that can possibly and almost surely add more base markers around

[balmy pagoda]

Yeah if I'm in my current ship I get the inventory full error. but if I exit and try to claim then I get the compare/decline screen and if I try to claim it says buy or exchange for 1400 nanites and since I don't have enough nans I can click claim later but then I guess I need to get 1400 before the expedition is over or else I've not officially completed it. Also I'm not seeing that new squid face helmet or the new glowing egg companion if I go to the QSC in the anomaly.

[remote thunder]

just go farm some nanites, shouldn't take much, find some planet with 4 fauna on the list, then press the additional button to get the 1000 nanite reward (4 species*250). or even just refine some stuff

i assume this is still in your expedition save - the final exp badge doesn't show as claimed if you leave that screen?

[fresh spoke]

I'm having the bug with a non-reactive portal as well. I've been struggling with it for a week. I'm too frustrated at this point.

[high silo]

I'm stuck in the exp'd where do I find copper? I need chromatic metal to craft Elixir of Quicksilver...?

[remote thunder]

can just use any stellar metal like cadmium or activated cadmium, or indium or activated indium to refine to chromatic metal

[balmy pagoda]

Yes I'm still on the ex save

[remote thunder]

have you tried to trigger the out of range state for the milestone, so you get a button to restart it to a diff location? (see this post: <#bot-spam message>, if using anomaly bases stick to bases in euclid.) fwiw, we had success fixing what we thought were completely "lost cases" with that one.

[fresh spoke]

I was trying to stay near the expedition area, but I will try that. Thank you

[remote thunder]

so yeah, shouldn't take a lot to find some nanites. from exploration/scanning creatures for the zoology bonus nanite reward, to selling not yet installed upgrade modules you don't need, to refining larval cores/hadal cores/fleshy rope/vile spawn/tainted metal, plenty of things 🙂

[balmy pagoda]

OK I will try that on this save and see what happoens thank you

[remote thunder]

just in case you're not quite sure where to get the bonus nanite reward when you scan all fauna of a planet:

[blissful onyx]

finished expedition

that didn't take as long as I thought

[neon junco]

The fish are best caught on the frozen anomaly planet, right?

[fresh spoke]

Hot damn. That worked! Thank you so much.

[remote thunder]

yeah, any mega exotic will do, that one will do too

[neon junco]

Okay should I use any specific lures then?

[remote thunder]

no need

[balmy pagoda]

Oh from the discoveries screen? I think I found all the fauna on the planet where I did the Genetic Glitch milestone

[neon junco]

Perfect thank you :D

[remote thunder]

1 species = 250 nanites! it adds up!

[blissful onyx]

I caught all of mine on the redacted one, but that should also work

shouldn't take very long either

[cunning idol]

I need help on the expedition

How do I get the items i want to transfer over in the expedition and also how do i restart the expedition

[rancid goblet]

i'm trying to do the milestone of killing 8 four legs sentinels

[cunning idol]

And how do i get a fishing rod

[rancid goblet]

everytime i start a wave, i destroy all the sentinels and only the small spiders last

and they don't let me continue the wave

[remote thunder]

1. items: after you get access to the anomaly, which happens after you leave the starter system (just keep progressing milestones from phase 1, review milestones from phases ahead to see if there's any you could easily complete while still on the starter planet to get its useful rewards. hint: phase 2, fear the sun milestone
2. can't restart an expedition unless you start a new save

what is that you're having trouble with rn?

[cunning idol]

Finding sentinels

[remote thunder]

that will come later, phase 3 milestone 2 reward (there's a planet in Gaxaral you can use for that milestone); check pinned posts here

[cunning idol]

Thanks

[remote thunder]

you mean that no more sentinels spawn? no red circle markers on your screen at all? what happens to the wanted level upper right corner of the screen? did you change options/difficulty settings in any way?

[remote thunder]

finding corrupted sentinels? you go through a dissonant planet, in the uncharted system Gaxaral, phase 3

<:info:850810445577453658> Expedition 16: Tips to find and destroy Corrupted Quadrupeds

Tips for finding them:

• 1) Try to locate Dissonance Resonators - some of them will be guarded by large quadrupeds.
• 2) Alternatively, you can start a fight by just looting a Gravitino Ball, and escalate wanted level to level 3, when large quadrupeds can spawn.

Tips for taking them out:

• 1) Install Paralysis Mortar+Primary weapon of choice(+3 S-class upgrades). Locate and approach a corrupted quadruped. If there's any floaters around kite them away first (mine something nearby so that they'll go investigate, leaving you alone with the quadruped). Shoot Paralysis Mortar at quadruped to stun it, re-applying stun as needed, while shooting primary weapon.
  Bonus: Unlock and install Voltaic Amplifier from Space Anomaly/Multi-tool research NPC for +21% damage vs stunned entities.
• 2) Use Minotaur+Minotaur Cannon.
• 3) From the air, especially if your current ship has hovering capabilities, for example using Rocket Launcher.

What is that milestone in phase 5 that’s encrypted and i didnt change any difficulty i just cant find any for the pugneum

[remote thunder]

that encrypted milestone will reveal itself later as you progress further/milestones before it

[remote thunder]

any planet has sentinels, just a matter of waiting for one to spawn around you or goto secure buildings, since they're always guarded by sentinels (e.g. using secure planetary charts)

[cunning idol]

Thank you

[cunning idol]

as much as I’ve played this game this year i never did an expedition if i knew i had to start from scratch i would have been way more prepared

[remote thunder]

that said, remember that sometimes npc pilots, if you're in a system with a space station, sell pugneum as well; if you're on a dissonant planet, refining atlantideum will yield pugneum

[remote thunder]

well, no one really knows how to prepare specifically for each expedition till we get our hands on it, but yeah, expeditions have a different pace to them

[cunning idol]

yeah it kinda sucks lol

[vocal spindle]

when i put stuff in the expedition easy box, do i have to start a new save, and then get it? if i hit "start expedition" on my main, will it start with that save or will it ask to make a new one?

[frozen laurel]

It's the same save. You can go between them.

[remote thunder]

the only way you get to use the expedition terminus is if you start expedition from existing save. it's the same save slot, just gets a different data table inside the save file for the expedition progress itself

and like marnacle said, you can switch between the two "data tables"

even while expedition is running

though most players will go in, finish, maybe in one or two sessions, and then finish, "closing" that expedition "data table"

[vocal spindle]

ah ok, thx

[rancid goblet]

nvm i solved. The small sentinels like to play hide and seek and i didn't know that

i found them all and managed to continue the waves, completing the milestone

[cunning idol]

Whats a good way of making this go faster

[remote thunder]

making what go faster, sorry?

[cunning idol]

The phases and stuff i just want that new ship lol

[remote thunder]

look at the list of still to do milestones from all phases, even from phases ahead, then cross check them with the names of the milestones shown below:

Where to go:

• Hungering Tendrils (worm babies): Wisbor XV (Breach 3 system Gaxaral)
• Hewn from Lights: Urston (Breach 2 system: Temeferi X) (and others)
• Genetic Glitch: 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)
• Arachnophobia: Tarum 95/E1 (Breach 3 system Gaxaral)
• In Wine-Dark Seas: 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)
• Pinned post with glyphs and system/planet names for all Breach points: <#nms-expedition message>

if you learn of the systems and planets that you'll come across are suitable for some milestones of phases ahead, you can do them even if "you're" not on that phase yet.

some milestones can be "daisy chained", iow worked for the same time. for example:

• on the planet you'll do Beyond Death (phase 2) milestone, you could also do Well Grounded (phase 3), and if well prepared for it already, Ink-Drenched Skies and The Face Of Glass (phase 5)

[rancid goblet]

ok i need help

i didn't do a milestone for the phase 3

and now i'm at the 5th

[little knoll]

what was the trick for Stone Ghost? someone said to buy some maps or something

[rancid goblet]

the phase 3 system has no space station

can i get hyperdrive? i need a system with anomaly planets

b) Try to enter Space Anomaly and check teleporter for Other Player bases in a Breach system (e.g. for Breach 3 "Gaxaral", you'd be looking for bases named like "Exp16 - breach 3"; if none popped, exit+reenter Anomaly to connect to a different multiplayer instance)

[little knoll]

nice thanks bk201!

[rancid goblet]

thanks, you're a life saver

[shadow marten]

can i tansfer multible ships from the expedition into normal mode?

[rough ore]

oh my goodness. I was convinced that I wouldn't finish this in time because I was having so much trouble with the arachnophobia one and not finding ancient ruins even with maps, but I did it. Just finished phase 5

[remote thunder]

yes, you should be able to by just equipping desired ship first, save, returning to primary, goto anomaly and copy it, resuming expedition, switch ship again, save, return to primary - etc

[shadow marten]

@remote thunder ah ok, so it wont work, becouse now i can only finish it

[remote thunder]

pause/options/return to primary should still work

or not, sorry?

[neon junco]

For phase 3, which planet is considered exotic? The world of light?

[wide steeple]

Hi I finished the expedition and got the ship how do I send my ship to my regular save? (I'm new to game)

[remote thunder]

yes; any planet with gold on resource list; that planet will complete the genetic milestone milestone, be sure to scan all 3 fauna (2 for the milestone, 3 for the zoology nanite bonus reward)

[remote thunder]

did you start from existing save or new save?

[wide steeple]

Existing, now it gave me a notification after I reloaded that my progress was synced

Should be there now

I only have 1 regular save

And 1 expedition save which I started through that regular save

[shadow marten]

How does the egg work? I cant put it into the expedition terrminal. Will i be able to get the pet into maingame (on existing file)?

[remote thunder]

the ship is now unlocked account wide, regardless of what you do to get the ship in main/other saves under the same account:
two options, since you started from existing save, either

• equip it before leaving or finishing expedition run, and then copy it via expedition terminus when back in main save
• or just claim it from quicksilver shop/claim expedition rewards dialog option, like you can also do with the rest of the phase rewards

[remote thunder]

egg is an account wide unlock, just claim it in your other save(s) from quicksilver shop/claim expedition rewards dialog option, like you can also do with the rest of the phase and final rewards

[shadow marten]

thx

[wide steeple]

Alright thanks, also after expedition ends the expedition save cannot be accessed?

[neon junco]

As in one of the resources are in gold font?

Ugh, the planet of light only had one exotic creature :c

[fresh spoke]

There's one in the first or second system, on one of the corrupted planets there.

[remote thunder]

are you in Rocangh system? that's not breach 3.

that's breach4.

[neon junco]

My bad

Yes

[remote thunder]

leave genetic glitch behind

[remote thunder]

there will be a planet in phase 5 system Umardag that will have another species, you don't need to complete genetic glitch in order to complete the other milestones in phase 4

[neon junco]

Oh I had thought I had to hit all the other mile stones to progress

[remote thunder]

only if required - had you known that 1) gold on resource list is what to look for for that milestone, 2) that that milestone was there, in the phase ahead, when you were back in phase 3, you could have done it on the same planet (there's one there with 3 fauna species, all considered exotic and thus suitable for the milestone). 1 quick extra stop on that one, and you could have avoided having to make 2 extra stops, 1 in breach 4 and another in breach 5, to complete a single milestone. pays to look ahead and review milestones ahead from other phases too.

[prime plover]

Is there some way to get rid of all the weird screen effects it's really disorienting

[remote thunder]

i didn't try, but check options/accessibility/hud hazard overlay strength, lower that

[outer sinew]

This starship is so cool guys, its even cooler than the golden vector and that things gold!

[remote thunder]

i love this ship yeah

so cool

[blissful onyx]

It's great aside from having to spam the land key

cause it's too big to land sometimes lol

[remote thunder]

seems like we need to raise a few bug reports on that, seen too many say the same

[blissful onyx]

I hope they can fix it, just make it destroy whatever it lands on like other ships do

not everything just large rocks and stuff

[remote thunder]

lol true

[blissful onyx]

it'd be a bit weird to see but it would work lol

[remote thunder]

[blissful onyx]

instant sentinel agro for destroying a single pebble when you land

does the new ship have color variations or does it only come in red?

Red is cool tho, just wondering

[kindred burrow]

So..... I consumed the Elixer of Blood and also just had it in my inventory to get to the 2nd rendezvous point at a portal but when I go to a portal it just asks me to enter an address...?

[remote thunder]

in phase 1 yes? in phase 1, you prepare the elixir of blood, then dislocation milestone gets yuo to a portal. when you get to the portal, be sure to have the "beyond the boundary milestone selected: what does its hint lower right of the screen want you to do? remember that you can spam press H or dpad left to force cycle those hints

[kindred burrow]

I'm talking about phase two "Breach 2, Enter the Second Portal" for the 2nd rendezvous

[remote thunder]

you only drink blood in phase 1 - every other phase, blood is to be crafted and offered to portal when told to. that's most important

[remote thunder]

what does its hint lower right of the screen want you to do? remember that you can spam press H or dpad left to force cycle those hints

[kindred burrow]

I even tried not drinking it and just having 1 in my inventory. However, it never gives me the option to use it in portal menu

Just tells me "additional ingredients required for elixir of blood" despite already having one

[remote thunder]

dump the ones you have

save+reload

be patient,

recraft

the right one, don't get the glyph wrong

[gilded geode]

is here any quick expedtion guide?

[remote thunder]

Where to go for milestones:

• Hewn from Lights: Urston (Breach 2 system: Temeferi X) (and others)
• Hungering Tendrils (worm babies): Wisbor XV (Breach 3 system Gaxaral)
• Genetic Glitch: 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)
• Arachnophobia: Tarum 95/E1 (Breach 3 system Gaxaral)
• In Wine-Dark Seas: 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)
• Pinned post with glyphs and system/planet names for all Breach points: <#nms-expedition message>

what to bring if starting from existing save: <#nms-expedition message>

exp16 mechanic: hazard protection replaced with anomaly suppressor: the lower the charge on anomaly suppressor the faster time passes, the more boundary horrors spawn, and below 50% charge, they become aggressive. no direct damage from having 0% charge however. flying to space recharges it to 100%. there's no hyperdrive, in general follow milestone progression order, but remember that some can be completed ahead of time, before you get to their phases

[gilded geode]

oh thanks!

[magic portal]

how do I get tainted metal from a derelict ship? I'm in one and got 25 but I'm not even sure how I got it tbh

[outer sinew]

You can actually hold the land button, that method works on Nintendo switch. It'll keep searching for a landing area

[remote thunder]

(answered in -help)

[vast yoke]

what is the use of the Anomaly Seal outside the expedtion?

[remote thunder]

decorative

[vast yoke]

ah

[gilded geode]

how do you get this portal to work

[remote thunder]

what does the mission hint lower right says you need to do?

be patient with the mission system

dont rush stuff

don't craft stuff before it tells you to

[gilded geode]

ah it didnt pop up on time

mb

[remote thunder]

see? be patient.

best to wait a few seconds.. than waste minutes possibly hours even days

[lavish steeple]

If I complete the Cursed Expedition, I get to keep everything I was given at the beginning of it? And everything throughout.

[lyric crag]

when does expedition end?

[lavish steeple]

3 Days.

[remote thunder]

did you start via new game? or from existing save?

[lavish steeple]

Existing save.

But the game re-issued me stuff.

New MT, new ship.

But it's the same character on the same save.

[remote thunder]

basically, what happens is that it's the same save file as your existing, it just got a new data structure table added to it to hold your expedition run progress

in which the devs populate new starting scenario gear, etc

so

when you started the expedition you were given the choice to bring in items, remember?

[lavish steeple]

So I get to keep the stuff alongside the stuff I already had? Or are they separated?

Yes.

I lost everything I didn't bring?

[remote thunder]

and when you got to the anomaly in expedition, you were able to get those same items out? as well as copying the ship and MT you had equipped in the main save when you started expedition?

[lavish steeple]

I'm in anomaly now - let me look.

It's weird - expeditions are pretty much different iterations of your character.

[remote thunder]

allow players to re-experience early game experiences in a different way

after so many of us have played and replayed the normal early game/missions/quests so many times

[vast yoke]

You can transfer stuff, but there is a limit

[lavish steeple]

I do and I don't like it.

Henders me from amassing.

And I don't like that. 😂

[vast yoke]

lol

yeah, you need to choose what would be usefeul to your main save

you don't need the egg, thought

[lavish steeple]

Egg?

Don't we get a ship out of the cursed expedition?

[remote thunder]

well, let me know.

I can copy stuff over.

[remote thunder]

stuff that was in your primary

after you take out the stuff you brought: tech, items, and complete expedition, you'll be able to add items and techs in again

[lavish steeple]

Oh alright.

[remote thunder]

items and techs which will then be available to retrieve in your primary

now

the same thing that happened with primary ship and MT, that you could copy them in to use in expedition, is going to happen in reverse as well

[lavish steeple]

Got it.

[remote thunder]

so whatever ship and MT you have equipped when you save+return to primary,

yep.

now

one more thing

Egg?

this egg ^

what i want you to see isn't just the egg though

see the list on the right?

[lavish steeple]

Yes.

[remote thunder]

those are the rewards from exp16 that get unlocked account wide, which mean they can be claimed in any save from the anomaly/qs shop/claim expedition rewards option

[lavish steeple]

You're disgusting.

[remote thunder]

nah, that's save edited, and not my screenshot

😄

[lavish steeple]

😂

[remote thunder]

ok so

continuining

[lavish steeple]

Understood.

[remote thunder]

we can't bring eggs (phase 3 reward) over via expedition terminus into main save, but that doesn't matter because of that fact: it's an account wide unlock, can be claimed once per save under this account.

[lavish steeple]

Got it.

[remote thunder]

you also didn't have to equip the boundary herald ship before finishing to make sure you got it - it's also an account wide unlock.

but starting from existing save, gives you those options.

either claim ship from anomaly later in main save, or copy it in using the expedition terminus mechanic.

[lavish steeple]

So it transfers well.

Very well.

[remote thunder]

also. about amassed units, nanites, quicksilver, and built bases: those all merge in with primary

[lavish steeple]

Oh so I do amass!

[remote thunder]

yeah any currencies you still have in balance when you finish get merged, do recommend selling stuff off in inventories to make sure it merges

[lavish steeple]

Sounds good. Thanks!

Regardless of how you started expedition, once claimed in expedition, the ship and the egg, and all of the other phase rewards, are unlocked account wide.

How to actually get them to other saves:
a) Started from Existing Save, 2 options:

• Equip it before leaving or finishing expedition run, and then copy it via expedition terminus when back in main save. Costs Nanites.
• Claim it from Quicksilver Shop/Claim expedition rewards dialog option in your other save(s), like you can also do with the rest of the phase rewards, Egg included. Claiming ship costs Nanites.
  b) Started from New Save:
• Claim it from Quicksilver Shop/Claim expedition rewards dialog option in your other save(s), like you can also do with the rest of the phase rewards, Egg included. Claiming ship costs Nanites.

Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players ( ) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

[somber spade]

need help with reality foam, im down 1k nanites and selling isnt an option for me

I'm thinking stuff like the money, nanites and upgrades that are not included in the expedition rewards

[remote thunder]

Check the finishing an expedition link in the Gunter post a bit further up

[wide steeple]

Alr

[remote thunder]

Have you tried just going to a planet and finding all fauna, then claiming the extra nanites reward? A planet with 4 fauna would get you 1k nanites if you scan them all and press the button

[somber spade]

any planet?

[remote thunder]

Any planet that doesn't have rusted metal on resource list yeah. I'd suggest sticking to planet with 4 to 6 fauna

[fringe sierra]

hAVE YOU CONVERTED YOUR TAINTED METAL TO NANITES. EASY COUPLE GRAND THERE

sorry lol

[remote thunder]

Yep good one

[somber spade]

how do i do that?

[remote thunder]

Any thing that can be refined to nanites

Tainted metal, larval cores, hadal cores, fleshy rope, vile spawn, etc

[fringe sierra]

if u do the glassy stare and refine your tainted metal in the personal exosuit refiner youll have well over 5000 nanites

[somber spade]

nvm i figured it out ty

ur a life saver

[neon junco]

[remote thunder]

Exit current ship

Thank you!

Then claim it

[neon junco]

Figured it out when I got on my freighter

u also need 1400 nanites

which if u ask me is dumb

Storm Crystals can be obtained from extreme hazard planets. Extreme hazard planets have Activated <Stellar Metal> (e.g. Activated Copper) in their resource list.

Exception: Lush biome planets (Star Bulb on resource list) do not spawn Storm Crystals.

Land, and start looking for the nearest Storm Crystal spawn. They will be scattered across the landscape.

Storm Crystals can only be interacted with and harvested during an extreme storm, but are easy to spot, and the on foot visor can assist as well.

O I will too shoot if im lucky I'll have the rest done before I leave the second

Lol shoot the last 3x I've done this I had it all done by 3rd so trying to top it

You can finish a LOT of them in Breach 3.

[fringe sierra]

Lol I think u meen u can finish the rest since clearly u can do nearly 60% before leaving the 1st system

🤣🤣

The issue is that newer players try to do the milestones in order

[fringe sierra]

Yea I know

Seen it alot already lol

[lusty slate]

I looked at the milestones, then at the Breach 3 planets and was "Oh. Looks like I'm staying here for a bit".

[balmy current]

so I spent all my charts trying to find ruins, my luck sucks, how can I get more? xD

[nimble carbon]

I used a chart to find a ruin and the milestone still says 0/2. And Signal Booster has not found a single one in 20 POIs so far. I'm stumped.

[iron tendon]

I'm gonna have another try at the arachnophobia objective. Does anyone have coordinates for a dissonance resonator?

[balmy current]

heh, we suck

[nimble carbon]

I found that I just had to build a base on the dissonant planet and pick and escalate fights until I got the relevant sentinel type to spawn in. I think a POI would work as well, but I did use an AI piloted Minotaur to help.

[iron tendon]

Sorry what's a POI?

[nimble carbon]

Point Of Interest (all the various buildings etc.) Trading Posts are really good for doing Sentinel fights for example.

Any protected interior that disrupts Sentinels and shields you from ranged attack is useful...

[fringe sierra]

Ok imma try to help all u lol

[nimble carbon]

@balmy current I used an Artifact Chart specifically, that only finds ruins. But it did not help advance the milestone.

[fringe sierra]

@iron tendon get the minitour and just fight sentinels through the 5 levels of alarm and ull get most of them. Idk seems to vary a slight bit but it's a cake wake with minitour

[fringe sierra]

This

It has the monolith symbol

[balmy current]

yeah, searching this channel the buried ones dont count, so our luck sucks

[nimble carbon]

Oooh! Lol, wrong kind of ruin 🤣

[fringe sierra]

The buried ones count if u find the monolith to interact with.. not all have them?? Idk I've gotten it to work on 2 speed runs

[iron tendon]

How do I get the minotaur? I haven't actually got up that in my primary save tutorial yet

[fringe sierra]

@remote thunder 8m not by my pc where ur pic for the list

[fringe sierra]

Space anomaly buy the appropriate blueprinta

[fringe sierra]

It's the 4th one down from the list

Planetary one

But its the monoliths that let u seek language or information of the past

Or the like

[balmy current]

yep, only got buried ones

[fringe sierra]

Keep trying.

Or just fly around and look for them

Lol my buddy found his that way lmao

[balmy current]

Im cant buy anymore

Im out

Im having to farm navigational thingies

pure hell

[fringe sierra]

Yea abit

[nimble carbon]

Just checking: do you know the trick to limiting Planetary Charts to only find the POI type you want? (I don't want to lecture unless it is useful to teach 😉 )

[balmy current]

do tell

[grizzled valve]

Is there any structure to finding star ship wrecks? Are certain systems or planets more likely to have interceptors or S class?

[nimble carbon]

1. Buy multiple charts
2. Use a chart. If the type it finds is not what you want do not visit it. Instead, use another chart: they cannot find more of the unvisited type until you eventually visit it and "clear" the limitation.
   Repeat until all the unwanted types are all "unvisited" but marked. From then on, only the type you want will be found. (Charts will just fail to "find" anything if they try to find any of the "unvisited" but marked types, so you don't lose them and can retry.)

[soft pilot]

interceptors can only be found on dissonant planets

[balmy current]

so I need like, 3 artifact charts + another one?

[nimble carbon]

I don't think Artifact Charts work for this, only Planetary Charts (since the buried treasure ruins don't seem to count)

[remote thunder]

yep, dig site charts won't work, only alien will, ignore monoliths and buried ruins

[soft pilot]

as for regular ships, I'd say you stand more chance of finding S class crashed ship in system with higher economy, But I have recycled a gazillion ships and I'm not sure if that is true

[balmy current]

ah ok, will do

[balmy current]

got 6 navigational data so far

[remote thunder]

thats enough

[fringe sierra]

@balmy current

[remote thunder]

fire 4 charts

[grizzled valve]

do you look for anything in particular? I'm going to grind some wrecks tomorrow

[remote thunder]

ignore monoliths and buried ruins visit the plaques, seek help with language

[balmy current]

ok, brb

[soft pilot]

seems like there's a pattern on some planet, last night i was hunting crashed ships and most of the ones i found were A class shuttels of the same model for some reason

[nimble carbon]

Yes, tier 3 economies have a greater chance of spawning S-class, and the crashed starships just draw from that pool of ships and chances.

[soft pilot]

like in vakeen systems, you'll end up finding more fighters, korvax systems more explo ships and so on

[nimble carbon]

Thanks! You just saved me a ton of experimentaton 🤣

[soft pilot]

so if u look for S class crashed fighters, you'd go in a high economy (3 stars) controlled by vakeens

but there's luck involved, a lot, you may go on such planet, fill your ship ruster with c class shuttles where you expected high class fighters 🙂

[grizzled valve]

Transports are worth more for scrap right?

[balmy current]

I got a monolith, so I dont go there, buy another chart and use that other chart?

[soft pilot]

yeah big trucks are good for scrapping

explo ships are good for getting ship inventory augmentations

[nimble carbon]

Yup, and so I usually buy a stack of charts up front for efficiency.

[balmy current]

I dont have enough navigational data

[fringe sierra]

I meen I've gotten monoliths to work

[nimble carbon]

Yah, I wish this little trick was better known, it is easy to waste charts otherwise. If you have something else to do, just get into the habit of hitting all those places on Stations that free navigation data are found, and visiting all the waypoint markers since those give you one too, etc. I hoard them in my starship except for a handful and then buy charts in bulk.

[balmy current]

I managed to find a second one, thanks every for the help

[fringe sierra]

Nice

[balmy current]

slowest one by far for me so far

[nimble carbon]

Lol, and I've been so busy chatting I am just now using my first Planetary Chart 🤣

[fringe sierra]

Alright. Just finished phase 1. I'll be done with this within the hour

[nimble carbon]

Lol, Ancient Plaque with the first chart 🤣

Second chart is Ancient Ruin, so no good. On to the next chart...

Alien Monolith, so no good. On to the next chart...

[faint mesa]

This one should work

[fringe sierra]

Lol I'd try em. Not garunteed but idk. Just me I guess.

Pretty sure half mine have been monolith or ruins

[nimble carbon]

Oh, is this not the buried treasure type? Ah, that should be good then.

[faint mesa]

It's just the one where you can either learn about language or locate the ruins with treasures (#nms-expedition message)

Just have to visit it and interact with the... object.
The learning language option is the most useful I guess

[nimble carbon]

Yup, sure enough, this is the type without buried treasure. Lol, I sometimes build bases at these because there is so much free architecture 😉

So two charts were all it took (I didn't even need the limiting focus trick)

[faint mesa]

Yep, it's not hard with charts, I guess it took me 4 (found a couple of monoliths...)

[nimble carbon]

Yah, Signal Booster was useless (and buggy: it made me build a Surge Battery for nothing?)

[faint mesa]

lol, yeah. I completely skipped the booster.
Checked the pins before starting the expedition 😅

Wanted a focused, quick run...

Wasn't that quick, but alas, I managed to finish it

[iron tendon]

It seems like I can only buy minotaur upgrades but not the minotaur itself from the anomaly exocraft research guy?

[nimble carbon]

Yah, the blueprints for exocraft geobays are from the base part vending machine

[iron tendon]

Sorry, where is the base part vending machine?

I think everyone in that room is an upgrade vendor

Found it, nevermind!

[wind ingot]

Expeditions are weird salvaging the new ship only gives you 2 mil but ending the expedition gave me 80 from that ship and only c class equipment

[balmy current]

so I made a copy of my ship from the expedition and now I can get another from the expedition rewards?

also, is there a time limit for claiming an expedition reward? I dont have space for more companions so I was thinking about leaving it there for a long time lol

[swift ravine]

I need help killing 7 more corrrupted quadrupeds. Is there a channel here for ppl that need in-game help?

I'm on PS5 if that matters.

[wind ingot]

Apparently that's what you're supposed to do lol I did the same thing

[balmy current]

but there isnt any use for a second of the same ship no?

[wind ingot]

Yeah unless you wanna flex

[balmy current]

I have a squid, that I got myself from a spacestation,I can flex all day

lol

[wind ingot]

I started corrupted sentinel encounters and stalled them by getting into my ship and out and quadrupeds spawn on the later waves so I shot them from the ship

[swift ravine]

If I got a sentinel ship on my expedition, can I transfer that to my other save or is it just ships that are given as a reward?

[wind ingot]

Have that ship as your active one, go to your main save and copy it from the terminal

[balmy current]

you can only copy one ship AFAIK though

[wind ingot]

Maybe idk I only copied one

[balmy current]

as in, you gotta choose if you want the sentinel or a second copy of the expedition ship

[swift ravine]

Which terminal? Sorry new to this.

[wind ingot]

The expedition one, where you began your expedition

Don't press end expedition in the expedition save

Go to main save from the pause menu

[meager scroll]

We don't know

HG doesn't announce stuff in advance

[solemn onyx]

oof

thats a rip

i guesss ill have to wait haha

[meager scroll]

Most likely we will be getting reruns of expeditions from this year

[solemn onyx]

oo ok

[gilded geode]

does it count as obtaining expedition related items via space anomaly?

[jagged sedge]

Redux expeditions can unlock stuff for completing them

[gilded geode]

what

[jagged sedge]

what what?

[gilded geode]

wym redux expeditions can unlock stuff for completing them

what are redux expeditions

asked bout if i start expedition from existing save, so i can bring expedition required stuff through main save

[jagged sedge]

Redux is an expedition rerun that's shorter than the original, but unlocks the same stuff

[gilded geode]

take those items in space anomaly

and go on

[gilded geode]

i have no clue how is it related

[jagged sedge]

FreindlyFire said we might be getting reruns of expeditions, and it seemed you weren't sure what those were, so I tried to explain

[gilded geode]

no no

unrelated to that topic

bout this current expedition if i can pass down stuff through space anomaly and take them out

how do you unlock space anomaly though, thought it unlocks manually (at least did in liquidators)

[jagged sedge]

I've never started an expedition from my main save, so idk how that works -- sorry

My main save has fully upgraded gear and starships, so I have no desire to replace any of them, so I've actually avoided potential complications

[gilded geode]

ah

[languid spoke]

space anomaly usually unlocks after you warp for the first time

in the expedition you have access to it after using the portal for the first time

[hazy pine]

Not sure if I'm the only one with that but Breach two doesn't show me the right item to use and craft if I'm reading it on the in-game UI and the glowing "tutorial" in the inventory( elixir of blood instead of wuickliver). So read the actual name of the elixir on the Log.
(I was stuck trying to find the portal but I forgot what was the latest elixkr unlocked(

Nevermind, it was a little bit confusing but I got it

[brisk shard]

I just No Life Sky-ed the entire expedition bc i forgot it was ending soon and paniced

[iron tendon]

I caught "common fish" and for some reason it counted towards 'anomalous'. Not complaining! But what does anomalous fish actually mean?

[brisk shard]

I guess any catch made on an anomalous planet? Idk really. I did my fishing on a dissonance planet and kept getting machine parts i think but then 2 common fish and two grey, half fish looking creatures and that completed the objective for me

[median ember]

Completed

Dang this last planet is sooooo far away

90 seconds travel time

[gilded geode]

how does one aquire anomalous fish

[wind jungle]

i got them just by fishing

[wind jungle]

[marble robin]

For the expedition i was able to find a water spot and just fish. No bait. No special planet

<:info:850810445577453658> Expedition 16: Tips to find and destroy Corrupted Quadrupeds

Tips for finding them:

• 1) Try to locate Dissonance Resonators - some of them will be guarded by large quadrupeds.
• 2) Alternatively, you can start a fight by just looting a Gravitino Ball, and escalate wanted level to level 3, when large quadrupeds can spawn.

Tips for taking them out:

• 1) Install Paralysis Mortar+Primary weapon of choice(+3 S-class upgrades). Locate and approach a corrupted quadruped. If there's any floaters around kite them away first (mine something nearby so that they'll go investigate, leaving you alone with the quadruped). Shoot Paralysis Mortar at quadruped to stun it, re-applying stun as needed, while shooting primary weapon.
  Bonus: Unlock and install Voltaic Amplifier from Space Anomaly/Multi-tool research NPC for +21% damage vs stunned entities.
• 2) Use Minotaur+Minotaur Cannon.
• 3) From the air, especially if your current ship has hovering capabilities, for example using Rocket Launcher.

well, exp16 end date isn't relevant to the fix. all players have to do is make sure they unlock the egg account wide, and wait for a fix, nothing else. when the fix is live for sure for all platforms, then claim it from anomaly qs shop and hatch it in any save you want

[novel gazelle]

so I finished the expedition, and I can claim the ship reward for 1500 nanites. If this was my main save (and so will be converted back to main save), do I want to claim the ship for 1500 or decline the reward, and then accept the reward on the main save for 1500? Or do I need to pay the 1500 and then pay the additional amount to copy my expedition ship over?

[frozen laurel]

I couldn't end the expedition when I declined the ship. Had to claim it to get the prompt to end. You don't have to pay to transfer it though. It's free to claim from the Quicksilver vendor (to the right of the expedition table).

[novel gazelle]

ok thanks, good to know, I just didn't want to spend 1500 twice because thats a lot to me right now, lol

[remote thunder]

just a side note: nanites may seem like they're difficult to obtain atm, but they're actually not, and 1500 nanites is actually doable in a very very short amount of time. feel free to always ask for tips when you're feeling that progression could go just a little faster.

[ripe tide]

I couldn't get on with this expedition I found it a pain in the rear and not fun at all

[quaint urchin]

I felt the same way the first and second time I played through it. I'm on my 4th now and finding it a good amount of fun. It has some quirks, but once you navigate those it gets better...

[gilded geode]

how to find ancient ruins quick

[quaint urchin]

Look into weapon upgrades and consider getting the Minotaur with the AI module. Otherwise, you can fly around looking for Dissonance Resonators that have the quads around them and hit them with your ships rockets. Then head into space and summon the Anomaly to escape. Repeat as needed...

[primal smelt]

I need nanites for the 'reality foam' people say to sell my upgrades, but they are all worth 16 nanites... any way to get them easy?

[fringe sierra]

naw refine tainted metal to nanites\

1:2 output

[quaint urchin]

Go visit the Cartographer in the space station and purchase at least 3 of these charts. Then land on any planet and open all three before visiting any locations. Go visit the ones that have Ancient and Plaque in the name.

[ripe tide]

I've tried twice to play through it but it really was not fun for me, being constantly harassed by those ethereal creatures got on my nerves

[fringe sierra]

if you knock out the "kill 64 " ull have enough to run through it and when u leave orbit it refills6

dad life called last night so im finishing my 4th run now

[quaint urchin]

Get the Minotaur with the AI module. He will harass them for you... Also, add the Hazard Protection blueprint from the Anomaly and install it. It really helps.

[cold tulip]

Ita not good to sell “used” modules. Find an outlaw system and sell the illegal tech/arms modules

[quaint urchin]

Hadal Cores, Larval Cores, scan all Fauna on a planet and claim the extra rewards, etc... The starting planet where your ship was had 13 Larval Cores and each was worth 50 Nanites if you refine them.

[vital mauve]

They should have called this expedition Abysmal, because that is what it is

[fringe sierra]

for real though. do the glassy eye. thats 1500 nanites. do one or two frieghters and refine the tainted metal and youll be well over 5k nanites

[vital mauve]

Really not having fun with this

[ripe tide]

Good advice but then it means grinding for nanites, I've done enough of this kind of gameplay in my main save to go through it again

[wintry void]

refine the tainted metal for nanites

[quaint urchin]

Understood, this definitely is not for everyone. I typically prefer to play chill myself, which is why it was very frustrating the first two times.

[fringe sierra]

you do 500 tainted metal you get 1000 nanites

[primal smelt]

Im kinda newish, are there good ways to find freighters?

[quaint urchin]

The expedition is a bit short to be hunting freighters.

Or are you referring to Derilict Freighters for the milestone?

[primal smelt]

Don't really have another choice, I already sold al the rewards of the other objectives for cash and installed the modules because I didn't know I shouldnt

[wintry void]

plus you cant warp if you dont have a hyperdrive, or just buy a system freighter

[ripe tide]

Thanks for the suggestion but it's too late, I'm not going to continue on with this expedition

[surreal tide]

Would any one happen to have a planetary code for any of the planets on phase 3? I left to buy supplies from another galaxy through the Nexus because that galaxy didn't have a station and now I can't get back 🤦🏽‍♂️

[fringe sierra]

[final kelp]

Can I claim the boundary herald on my main save or do I need to put it as my main ship and transfer it over?

[faint pumice]

is there easy way to find this 4 legs guys to archanophobia mission? im on rucand for 30 minutes exploring and didnt find any

[final kelp]

if you kill dissonant sentinels they usually spawn in a wave after a while

[faint pumice]

oh i thought i need to find them naturally, not attack guards and let them spawn

[ashen shore]

This expedition will probably be on the redux this year, won't it?

[ocean lake]

Unfortunate that I am missing the expedition. I would have loved to play it.

[ashen shore]

Yeah same

I can't pay for game pass anymore

[ocean lake]

I'm too busy with work and life I just don't have time for things

[ashen shore]

I'm hoping if the redux has this one in it, I can play it once I get my ROG Ally

[ocean lake]

I hope it's on the redux, I got the entire last week of the year to myself which is the best time to game

[remote thunder]

yep

[ashen shore]

Yayy

I'll definitely play it when I get my PC

Hopefully they throw in an old expedition like last year too

[remote thunder]

i hope you can - i loved it tbh

[ocean lake]

wish there was mods to replay the expeditions

[ashen shore]

Honestly that's the thing

Aside from the Reduxes, expeditions running once just make them all the more special imo

[remote thunder]

possible on pc, overwriting a file, but ofc not officially supported

[ocean lake]

Yeah it's just unfortunate that if you can't play it, you might not get to ever do so

[ocean lake]

should I ask the modding channel for more details?

[ashen shore]

Maybe when the game turns 10, they'll rerun every expedition as an anniversary thing?

[faint pumice]

guys did u found 2 exotic creatures on this strange planet at phase 4? i only found one, this light from ground and cant find second creature

[remote thunder]

yeah, i think that's the best way to go about it

[faint pumice]

only this one i cant find second one

[remote thunder]

dont' worry - you're not forced to complete genetic glitch in this system - the system of the next phase will have an exotic biome moon, with another creature for you to scan. just move on to completing the rest of the milestones in phase 4

[low jackal]

last breach system has another one

[faint pumice]

oh okay, thanks, previously i tped too fast and i needed to go back so i thought this time everything should be here lol

[remote thunder]

Genetic Glitch: 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)

[thorn turtle]

second exotic animal where?

[novel gazelle]

[versed mantle]

I can't figure out how to get to another exotic planet

Very annoying

[remote thunder]

still in phase 4 system, Rocangh?

[versed mantle]

I'm not sure where I am lol

[remote thunder]

pause, discoveries tab

what system are you in

[versed mantle]

Sorry give me a second I'm restarting the game because I got stuck in midair and couldn't move

I was in whichever system had the planet of light

[remote thunder]

leave genetic glitch behind, you're not forced to complete it before progressing the other milestones in phase 4; once you get to Umardag, the next system, there will be another planet/moon there with gold on resource list, where you'll be able to complete genetic glitch milestone

[versed mantle]

It might have been R3 still

[mortal shoal]

annoying when this happens

[versed mantle]

I also cant' seem to access previous rendevous systems in the teleporters, is that normal?

[remote thunder]

third system is uncharted, no station

the others, if you visited their stations, yes, you'd be able to teleport back

always visit space stations of starter+rendezvous systems

[versed mantle]

I thought they showed up now even if you didn't visit their station, maybe I was just misremembering

[remote thunder]

i guess that changed again

i don't fully trust it, i always visit whatever station i want to ensure i get on my teleporter list

[mortal shoal]

in my expirience with stations i have to touch the station's portal to be registered in the space station section in teleporter menu

[gilded geyser]

i can build in my city, is this a bug? or a feature?

[remote thunder]

no need to interact with teleporter ime, just exit ship in station, that's done

[remote thunder]

is there a base computer placed nearby owned by you or your friend?

[gilded geyser]

i own it

[hollow shore]

Did you intend to post this here?

[gilded geyser]

but i was just wondering if we're not suppose to build on it

[remote thunder]

strongly recommend not building at a settlement if it's not at max buildings yet

[gilded geyser]

oh yeah they overlap sometimes

but i can just delete if they do, i just haven't seen people do it so i was just wondering what would happen if i keep building

[remote thunder]

sounds like this is a topic for #nms-questions , like Pixy hinted at

[gilded geyser]

sorry xD

[remote thunder]

np

[pearl nacelle]

Can you just not interact with the npc pilots on space stations???

[twilit moss]

You can

[pearl nacelle]

as soon as i try to talk to them they disappear and their spaceship leaves soon after

[faint mesa]

Patch is out for Switch, hopefully there's no need for this message anymore

[rare spruce]

Bk, can u ping that list for me again?

[hollow shore]

What list are you referring to?

[swift ravine]

Can someone please help me destroy 7 corrupted quadrupeds?

My minotaur blueprints are glitched so I can't use it. I just really wanna get this milestone done.

Help please?

[hollow shore]

@swift ravine See more info in this post and below: #nms-expedition message

<:info:850810445577453658> Expedition 16: Tips to find and destroy Corrupted Quadrupeds

Tips for finding them:

• 1) Try to locate Dissonance Resonators - some of them will be guarded by large quadrupeds.
• 2) Alternatively, you can start a fight by just looting a Gravitino Ball, and escalate wanted level to level 3, when large quadrupeds can spawn.

Tips for taking them out:

• 1) Install Paralysis Mortar+Primary weapon of choice(+3 S-class upgrades). Locate and approach a corrupted quadruped. If there's any floaters around kite them away first (mine something nearby so that they'll go investigate, leaving you alone with the quadruped). Shoot Paralysis Mortar at quadruped to stun it, re-applying stun as needed, while shooting primary weapon.
  Bonus: Unlock and install Voltaic Amplifier from Space Anomaly/Multi-tool research NPC for +21% damage vs stunned entities.
• 2) Use Minotaur+Minotaur Cannon.
• 3) From the air, especially if your current ship has hovering capabilities, for example using Rocket Launcher.

@swift ravine sorry for the double ping, see above

[remote thunder]

i think they meant the pinned post with the suggestions for what to bring into expedition. 🙂 i've got it on hand now, no worries

@rare spruce assuming this is the one <#nms-expedition message>

[hollow shore]

I thought so too, just wanted to verify. It is a pinned post though, so perhaps they found it
