nms-expedition

[lusty slate]

Yeah, Switch has its own screencap button on the controller. Doesn't work for photo missions either. Has to be the NMS photo mode

[remote thunder]

is that not the share button? it's just that i don't have ps5 controllers sorry, i knew ps4 controllers

[lusty slate]

catching 20+ C ice fish Gotta love fishing RNG. 😛

[remote thunder]

remember to craft bait

[lusty slate]

Yeah, but I'm lazy.

[opal glade]

you only need to kill a couple animals and you get it

[vast nest]

Any idea for the "discover 8 system"?

[remote thunder]

cond carbon>mealworms

[remote thunder]

see pinned post in this channel, linked here for your convenience <#nms-expedition message>

[dense wave]

That's what I'm currently on and I'm getting crappie rng

[remote thunder]

see above

[opal glade]

the part that really peeves me off was the fact that I kept grabbing non ice fish

[lusty slate]

Kinda sick of bait crafting after doing the Wonders log on main. I already caught 4 without it.

[opal glade]

wtf why does it all have to be non ice fish in a ice pond

thats so annoying

[remote thunder]

take a few warps away from exp route, find a black hole, take an up/down/left/right warp 500LY away, you'll find them

[dense wave]

Ight

[remote thunder]

fair enough

[opal glade]

it's not really rng tbh its mostly just someone was here first

i really think its annoying that they made a milestone to be "go to 8 systems no one has been first"

[remote thunder]

goal of the game is to discover stuff, but if you go offline (and i don't mean just multiplayer off), then everything is undiscovered

have fun

[opal glade]

well switch doesn't have that

[lusty slate]

Yes, it does

[remote thunder]

switch has online discovery services functionality

[opal glade]

switch even if youre "offline" you still get the last cached locations

[remote thunder]

which isn't the same as multiplayer

[opal glade]

thats what I got for a while

[remote thunder]

pause/discoveries tab/lower left

if that connection is up,

[lusty slate]

Cut the wifi

[remote thunder]

then you get other player discoveries

if not

you don't.

that's what i mean by going offline

[opal glade]

already did that

[remote thunder]

you can't get uploaded discovery data from anyone if you're not connected to internet

[opal glade]

i did it by cutting discovery going to a black hole and kept warping over and over again till i found some undiscovered systems

[remote thunder]

if you cut internet off, then any system, even rendezvous systems, would be undiscovered.

[opal glade]

it took me 20 systems total but it was alright

i didn't cut internet directly though

that might have saved me some time

[remote thunder]

you either cut internet access or you don't, regardless of how you do it

[median sparrow]

I have more than 8 techs I wanna take back. 😦

[opal glade]

i cut off discovery by leaving my switch on "sleep mode" for an hour and then coming back to discovery was off

[remote thunder]

add tech in, save, pause/options/return to primary, goto anomaly, retrieve tech, save, return to expedition, repeat

[remote thunder]

it will just try to reconnect on the next warp

[median sparrow]

hwut

That's a thing?

I've sacrificed so many modulesssss

[remote thunder]

meh

modules are easy to get

[median sparrow]

They are.

But I am an advanced hoarder.

Do I need that tritium and gold? Probably not.

[lusty slate]

Lol I've taken mods in and just left them there

[ashen shore]

What gote was the only 7 freighter salvage
They reduxd it to be based on your freighter I thought there would be more lol

[median sparrow]

I actually forgot about the last expedition stuff and left them there.

[opal glade]

a serial offender of being a dragon

[lusty slate]

Whoot five uncommon+ ice fish with no bait! blows on nails

[finite steeple]

hoard power stations. lots of gold.

[ashen shore]

I never use bait I just grab a beer and wait 😂

Just like irl fishing

[lusty slate]

I scroll chat while waiting for bites lol

[remote thunder]

i used bait, took me...7 casts to get 4 fish - no bait, took me more than 10 casts to get 1

[median sparrow]

Can't wait to get my save on PC.

[ashen shore]

They turned auto cast off for this exp very sneaky of them

[median sparrow]

The whole slow UI has grown on me but man... transferring items is painful.

[ashen shore]

Auto catch *

[lusty slate]

Lololol nice

[median sparrow]

There was an auto catch?

[ashen shore]

In settings menu yea

[median sparrow]

I miss all the good things clearly.

[signal bear]

Is cursed over and ME now running? Or are both running simultaneously?

[median sparrow]

Cursed is gone I believe.

I logged in to the traditional "expedition ended" message.

[remote thunder]

Is cursed over and exp2 now running?
correct

that said, rewards aren't quite the same

[signal bear]

Ok. I’m going to have lots to do at the end of the year lol

[stone sand]

Guys i have a question regarding the current expedition, where can i get the upgrade to fish ? in the last one it was a reward but here i dont know how to get it

[median sparrow]

I thought it was a reward as well.

I can't even remember how or where I got mine

[stone sand]

🥲

[ashen shore]

Its the reward before the fish milestone

But you still have to craft it

[median sparrow]

It won't let me check rewards since I've completed the expedition. Even though I'm still in it.

[stone sand]

oh yea thanks !!

[ashen shore]

Np

[lusty slate]

The Pilgrim milestone

[weary badge]

do the bases you create in expedition transfer over to your main game when done, hope so, just knocked up doozer little fishing hut, 3 icy and 3 s ghostfins in 9 casts.

[opal glade]

wait where were we supposed to get the fleet commander's cape?

i didn't see that

[lusty slate]

Phase 3 reward

[opal glade]

is the switch different cuz i only got quicksilver for my phase 3

[lusty slate]

When did you complete phase 3? Was it Thursday?

Because they fixed it

[opal glade]

i completed it yesterday

[grim vortex]

I do'nt think I have any hope of finding 8 undiscovered systems

[opal glade]

is it because switch gets updates later cuz they need to make its own build?

[remote thunder]

intended to happen, yes

[opal glade]

right now it only says quicksilver

[lusty slate]

They fixed it yesterday sometime. But if you already claimed it before they swapped the reward back, you're going to have to run the exped again like @ashen shore did.

Mine says fleet commander cape

[median sparrow]

Odd

[lusty slate]

(But I already have it, so this isn't affecting me)

[median sparrow]

My rewards screen said I only got 1.6m units.

But i know I had well over 7m

[opal glade]

fuuuuuuuuuuu

[remote thunder]

rewards screen =/= finish/merge screen iirc

[quaint urchin]

I didn't have any issues. I was at the Rendezvous 3 system and used my freighter to warp around 1200 light years away to a Pirate system. From there I just kept warping short distances in the same direction (Away from the Rendezvous 3 area). I only found 2 systems where I was not first, so it only took 10 warps total. Then I just teleported back to the Rendezvous 3 space station and resumed the rest of the Expedition.

[remote thunder]

turn off internet, try again.

if you're that desperate

[lusty slate]

I'd put an error report in with the zendesk. They might do a Switch patch to credit the cape to the players who claimed the QS before it got fixed

[remote thunder]

or literally, just read the pinned post

and black hole away, then warp up/down/left/right

galaxy map doesn't just go forward or backward

[weary badge]

cool, as long as get my end expo save right this time, don't know how I did it but messed last it all up last night, had to start new one this morning, in my defense, I am old 🙂

[remote thunder]

tip: want to make it easier for others maybe? dont upload your discoveries (pains me to suggest this tbh)

[remote thunder]

anything just feel free to ask

[marsh rain]

What's worth loading up on for the Beachhead expedition?

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message>

[civic jolt]

got everything done except the system hunting

[lusty slate]

I played the 2022 redux that rewarded all the exped exclusive capes. Capes weren't on Switch at the time and they swapped QS for them. But when Echos dropped, the capes were retroactively credited to me since I did meet the exped requirements.

So this isn't affecting me, but it's pretty annoying to the Switch players who came in after 2022.

[civic jolt]

I gotta say, no other expedition objective has brought the hater in me out like this

[marsh rain]

So it's just a redux of cursed?

[lusty slate]

It's a remix of Beachhead

[remote thunder]

Phase 4: Uncharted: Have to actually discover systems (just the system, no need to land on any planet). Make sure you visited the station of the last rendezvous system you've been to, then get black hole coordinates from Polo@Space Anomaly, then go through it, then take a warp up or down from that position at the current max range of your ship - that should take you into undiscovered areas.

before going to talk to polo, take a few warps away from main expedition route - don't forget to visit the station of the last rdv system you've been to

[finite steeple]

woo! anomaly access! now i can get rid of this starter POS.

[lusty slate]

Aww, but it's such a cute shuttle...

[finite steeple]

screw it. i want my Vikavolt.

i use a class s sentinel with like 45k damage. its my baby.

and i decided to be smart and send myself like 18k nanites so i could get it.

[marsh rain]

Oh the second expedition I was confused
Did I miss the pioneer redux or have they just not done it yet this year?

[weary badge]

Still happy with me little Radiant starter, when I S classed I got 3 SC adjacent slots L shaped, think I'm gettin around 77K out of it with Infra-Knife?

[finite steeple]

i think my sentinel has a similar grouping. ill get a pic once i sell all this tech for nanites

i like to mail over a full stack of Suspicious Tech to sell for easy nanites on expeditions

[blazing fossil]

They usually only do expeditions from the current year during redux. Beachhead being reduxed is an outlier

[weary badge]

cool, I'm still new-ish, last played years ago for a short spell.

[finite steeple]

piracy is good money.

[remote thunder]

ftr - nothing wrong with being a rasa lover

[lusty slate]

Pffft. 700+hr main. Still fall into cave holes

[median sparrow]

Honestly same.

[remote thunder]

me too

[weary badge]

Sorta me, plan to be a RoyalGek entrepreneur and drug lord 🙂

[remote thunder]

exploring at night time? no torch? pfft, all the time falling into those holes

[marsh rain]

I hope they continue sprinkling in the really old expeditions because I've only been playing expeditions since recently

[blazing fossil]

Probably not more this year

[median sparrow]

I have so many multitools and ship rewards that I need to scrap...

[blazing fossil]

They did a cartographers remix last year so maybe one per year, if we’re lucky

[weary badge]

Yep, that's what I'm slowly makin my daily runner to be.

[marsh rain]

1 or 2 every year is all I need to catch up eventually

[lusty slate]

I still need Pioneers and Emergence for their titles...

[marsh rain]

Hopefully they'll eventually add the old expeditions as legacy expeditions to the terminal
Seems like that would be the end goal of the expedition terminal anyway

[zinc gate]

How to find the buried treasure?

[forest reef]

Any y'all found an airless planet?

[faint pelican]

I need help with discover 8 star systems, I have used black holes and so much warp fuel and everything is discovered. There is a way to turn of online but I don’t know how to do that to get that milestone.

[remote thunder]

rdv2 system for example, look for planets with rusted metal on resource list

[remote thunder]

Phase 4: One Man's Treasure: Ancient Bones will not count, look for Buried Cache icons with your visor.

[forest reef]

Kinda ironic that an airless planet, would have oxidized metal on it..

[remote thunder]

hopefully you've been warping up/down/left/right, not just around the area you were dumped in by a black hole. disconnect from internet, restart game - everything will be undiscovered

[remote thunder]

airless just a synonym for dead biome in fact

[forest reef]

Oh ik

I just find it ironic.

[stray surge]

Should just be able to take your freighter and start warping far enough away from the expedition systems

[remote thunder]

i used my ship - sclass hyperdrive modules are far more easily obtainable from space stations

by the time i got to that milestone, i already had 500LY+ range on ship - and it took me a few warps away from exp route+1 black hole+1 500LY warp upward to get 8 discovered systems in less than 10min

[faint pelican]

when i do this it says that i may lose all game data because cloud is not synced

[forest reef]

You'll be fine.

[faint pelican]

I did try that.

[forest reef]

NMS saves locally.

The cloud is just for getting your save if you lose it, or moving systems.

And it'll upload your save when you reconnect to the Internet.

[limber current]

is there any post what to bring from main save? Cant find anything -_-

[remote thunder]

bring crafting, refining, recharging and freighter base building basics

e.g. teleporter room, etc

[forest reef]

And something to make nanites.

Wait, why am I yellow now?

[heavy sable]

Oxygen isn't actually air, for proper air you need to the nitrogen component as well, but I get your point

[remote thunder]

e.g. sus packets tech/arms

ranked up

[finite flame]

Thx for the documentation btw. That really helped a lot. I got my 8 undiscovered systems charted.

[remote thunder]

you'll be fine

[forest reef]

Basically, airless in this sense means no atmosphere.

[remote thunder]

at most, cloud save will be, temporarily, a few minutes behind

[forest reef]

It'll load the most recent save.

[lusty slate]

Man, this exped is so easy. Even mucking about it's going by fast

[remote thunder]

i'm saying that if they disable cloud sync, and progress local copy, cloud copy will just be behind a few minutes

[heavy sable]

yup and doesn't the game also use multiple synonyms to label those planets ? Like life-incompatible and the likes

[forest reef]

Ditto. I'm actually finding a lack of motivation to do normally easy tasks.

[remote thunder]

correct

[forest reef]

Oh, yeah.

[remote thunder]

basically, you look for rusted metal on resource list

if it has that, it's a dead biome planet

solanium, frost crystal for the other two

[forest reef]

Is there a way to mark a planet from the freighter scanner? I can't find this tiny ass planet to save my life.

[remote thunder]

use ship mini radar in cockpit view

[forest reef]

I keep forgetting that's a thing.

#3rdpersonpilotproblems.

[heavy sable]

the amount of times I get got by a planet hiding behind another...

[limber current]

is it enough?

[odd storm]

For ancient ruins if there are artifact chests there does that mean there wont be a temrinal to seek knowledge of the past?

[remote thunder]

suggestion: bring sus packets tech/arms instead

[remote thunder]

correct; get alien charts, not dig site charts

[odd storm]

ty!

[remote thunder]

pop 3 alien charts, spam use through errors

visit the non-monolith one

drop and claim a base comp on this planet

[lusty slate]

Uuugh, warp loop. Joy

[remote thunder]

return later for hist lesson in phase 5

will have 2 markers up already

pop a 4th alien chart

[forest reef]

I brought mold. I prefer your idea.

[remote thunder]

i prefer not refining/not having to hand food 1 by 1 to cronus

selling upgrade modules is much faster

[heavy sable]

Is there any way to have multiple instances of a rewarded frigate btw ? Like the Normandy and the Ship of the Dead ?

[remote thunder]

nope

[limber current]

mold was first idea, but had to craft it, which takes too long I guess

[heavy sable]

Thought so, thanks

[forest reef]

There can only be 1 shepherd.

[remote thunder]

just providing alternatives

[limber current]

Im too greedy to spend nanites

[forest reef]

I was saying that for the duplicating Normandy thing 😅

[remote thunder]

ohhh

sorry 🙇‍♂️

[forest reef]

No worries

The universe isn't ready for 2 horny space captains.

[remote thunder]

😅

[heavy sable]

With my OCD, I just gathered 30 Pirate frigates that fit the style of the Dreadnought and don't bother with the free rewarded ones 😅

[forest reef]

I did something similar, but replace my worst frigates with reward ones

[heavy sable]

Well, with time they're all S-class so

[foggy basin]

feels like phase 4 - uncharted was only doable on day 1 of the expo 😕

[forest reef]

It's not.

I did it by warping 1000ly or so away.

[heavy sable]

I did it by warping to Red, Green and Blue solar systems, you can also turn off internet connection to help

[flat lotus]

How do i find undiscovered systems there all discovered near the expidition

[heavy sable]

go further away

[flat lotus]

i have

[forest reef]

1000ly+ is a good place to start.

[flat lotus]

bruh

[heavy sable]

or if you're near one of the rendez-vous, use the portal with the first glyph, reach the galactic core and get to the next one, plenty of options

[flat lotus]

thats so far

[forest reef]

It's not.

5~ jumps for a exped ship.

1 for a personal ship.

[flat lotus]

so ones near the core?

[flat lotus]

i was given a shit ship

b class shuttle

[forest reef]

Did you come in from an existing save?

[heavy sable]

basically if you use the first glyph on any portal 16 times, it takes you near the galactic core, which gets you to the next galaxy but it's really the desperate option

[flat lotus]

no?

[heavy sable]

Did you complete an expedition with a ship as reward ? You can buy it there from the anomaly for 1'400 nanites too, that's what I always do

[forest reef]

That's actually smart AF

[heavy sable]

Thanks I guess

[dire mirage]

How do you do the Uncharted milestone? Is there an easy way to tell if a system is undiscovered before traveling to it?

[remote thunder]

Phase 4: Uncharted: Have to actually discover systems (just the system, no need to land on any planet). Make sure you visited the station of the last rendezvous system you've been to, then get black hole coordinates from Polo@Space Anomaly, then go through it, then take a warp up or down from that position at the current max range of your ship - that should take you into undiscovered areas.

before going to talk to polo, take a few warps away from main expedition route - don't forget to visit the station of the last rdv system you've been to

2. no way unless they renamed the system from the proc gen name

[weary badge]

shop around for 3 x S class HDrive upgrades whilst doing early stuff and by the time you do the x 8 discovery mission you'll have it doing 800+ ly for that.

[wicked obsidian]

Literally 5 nanites off

[heavy sable]

55 ?

[remote thunder]

refine something like slime or fluids or mould - or sell an upgrade module

[wicked obsidian]

Oh

[forest reef]

Yeah, 55 😅

[lusty slate]

Okay, undiscovered systems left. I brought a indium drive, so that should make this a bit easier.

[wicked obsidian]

My vision is bad

[heavy sable]

let's just say he did a double joke with the 5 off being actually the 2nd 5 of 55

[forest reef]

I was about to be like "Darn that's rough" I thought it was 5 too.

[wicked obsidian]

…no my eyes are failing me at 15 😦

[heavy sable]

damn

[wicked obsidian]

Without glasses i can only see like 5 feet away lol

[heavy sable]

btw, do you think we'll get this year expeditions reruns too ? I missed Omega and the rewards from that one are so great

[forest reef]

I missed the chitin one.

So I sure hope so.

Normally it's closer to Xmas though.

[heavy sable]

ah I see

[wicked obsidian]

Hey, i just visited a space station for the first time and all of the npcs have already been visited?!?! I cant learn words from them

[heavy sable]

Was that Liquidators ? With the cool looking minotaur ?

[wicked obsidian]

Yeah, it was

[remote thunder]

multiplayer enabled?

[heavy sable]

yeah that one was nice, the outfit reminded me of District 9 lol

[wicked obsidian]

No

[lusty slate]

I'm going back to the starter to do this. Bet players warp hopped around there less.

[remote thunder]

had no such issue - sounds like you've been there before. what platform are you on?

[remote thunder]

i went all the way to rdv5, took a few warps upward, then black holed

[wicked obsidian]

PS4, in rdv 3

[remote thunder]

i don't see a reason for any blocks not even in the starter system

[heavy sable]

technically you can speak to the word pillars when you do the alien ruins thing

[remote thunder]

knowledge stones yes

[forest reef]

No you don't. Just finished it on a station

[remote thunder]

you can

[forest reef]

Got 4/6 from a station.

[remote thunder]

do either

[forest reef]

OH CAN, I read have to.

My bad.

[heavy sable]

it's fine lol

[forest reef]

Brain fart.

[remote thunder]

there's multiple stations, easy enough to do

[forest reef]

I had to learn gek eew..

[heavy sable]

I actually did mine in the outlaw station now that I think of it

Those npcs are creepy if they visited you before without you knowing it

[forest reef]

Any of y'all got a inside scoop on where to get faecium?

That isn't murdering the wildlife.

[wicked obsidian]

…buy it from traders?

[forest reef]

Do they sell literal shit? 😅

[grim vortex]

Feed them pellets and wait for them to poop.

[remote thunder]

just feed fauna and wait for them to poop

[grim vortex]

Feed a bunch and they;'ll all sort of stand around you

[remote thunder]

remember that you can throw a pellet on the ground instead of feeding 1 by 1

[wicked obsidian]

Also you dont kill them for faecium

[heavy sable]

you just did

[forest reef]

Oof

How do you toss them on the ground?

[remote thunder]

quick menu/creatures/creature pellet

[grim vortex]

If you have the pellets in your inventory, you'll get the interaction option when you are close to a creature

[remote thunder]

throwing one on the ground allows player to atract and feed multiple animals nearby

[weary badge]

something new I learnt here earlier, kill animals refine the mordite for feceum too, new one for me.

[remote thunder]

i can double check, it's possible that indeed they locked us out there, but i'd be a little surprised if it werent a bug

[forest reef]

That works for me. Actually it's even easier.

[gleaming mortar]

in phase 2 , icy vains, ive caught 6 uncommon fish and 1 legendary but it only counted 2. is it bugged?

[wicked obsidian]

Oh huh

[forest reef]

They've gotta be specifically native to cold planets.

[gleaming mortar]

im on a cold planet

[wicked obsidian]

They have to be uncommon fish that can only be caught on frozen planets

[forest reef]

Read the description when you catch it.

[gleaming mortar]

oh i see

[forest reef]

If it says they're galaxy wide, won't count.

Gotta say icy/cold planets.

[lusty slate]

Okay, black hole, dump me somewhere good.

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message>

[heavy sable]

it'll dump you to the same place it dumped other people who used it

[lusty slate]

Whoo! Excellent

[remote thunder]

after that take a up/down/left/right 500LY warp,and you should be good.

[forest reef]

I had already murdered a bunch. I wasn't against killing animals, just too lazy to find more.

[lusty slate]

Dumped me right in an undiscovered system

[heavy sable]

nice

[remote thunder]

lol.

everyone's like..

too stressed out about that milestone

[dusty elm]

Do I have to have the mealworm recipe before I can make them in my nutrient processor?

[lusty slate]

Not stressed lol

[remote thunder]

you craft mealworms

[lusty slate]

Plenty of Euclid left

[heavy sable]

now everyone using the same one as you will be mad at your name discovering it first 🙂

[lusty slate]

Oh, fishing

[remote thunder]

only if they upload

see?

[heavy sable]

the game tricks you into uploading for nanites

[lusty slate]

I warped a few systems away from the starter and black holed from there

[remote thunder]

the game also tricks you into spending nanites before you complete quantum foam

"tricks you"

it's not trying to trick you

it's just throwing its normal hint at a player that has nanites to burn

happens in any game mode

[heavy sable]

true, choice of word isn't optimal

[wicked obsidian]

Geez, that was dark

[forest reef]

...Did you do this on a sand planet, by chance?

[heavy sable]

Light saber looking multi-tool when ?

[lusty slate]

Ooh nice. This whole cluster seems untouched

[sharp marten]

you're the pro, I made just one of each, I thought of making 10 but the grind

[forest reef]

I just brought back what I had left.

[sharp marten]

I wish I brought back hazard protection though

can you store it?

[forest reef]

Oh, the ghost protection?

[remote thunder]

exactly my experience

it's a core tech

cannot be stored

[sharp marten]

ah ok, so I havent missed anything then

got the elixirs, got the qualia as well

[remote thunder]

even exp16->normal saves don't keep it

[sharp marten]

what if boundary breaks again, gotta be prepared for anything

idk but if it was usable I wouldnt waste any because you cant make more

finding portals is easy anyway, make one base then just tp to others

[heavy sable]

Wouldn't it only find the portal it is supposed to ?

[remote thunder]

elixir of quicksilver can find portals in non-exp modes yes; elixir of water can also summon boundary guardian in non-exp modes

[heavy sable]

I don't need to fight that no more thank you

[remote thunder]

correct, anomaly suppressor

[sharp marten]

why would I bother making elixir of glass if I can just soar above the skies and recharge instantly for free, silly game

[forest reef]

That's seditious.

Sentinels, this man right here.

[sharp marten]

what are sentinels anyway, are they galactic menace or are they the police, I dont undestand

[grim vortex]

This is my first expedition, ever. AM I correct that the -stuff- doesn't come back to my other saves? Modules, materials, etc.?

[lusty slate]

And that's 8! Easy peasy

[sharp marten]

if they are the menace to all sapient life that wipes any big settlements then why are they allowed to control space stations and do checks

[supple sedge]

you get a small box to transfer items back

[grim vortex]

Ah, so I should hold on to Freighter Upgrades, etc. 🙂

New save

[sharp marten]

starting new expedition be like alright, let's start playing by calling my freighter as usual, oh wait

[grim vortex]

Well, rats. Least I'll know better for the next one.

[sharp marten]

I feel naked without my freighter full to the brim with goodies

I guess that's the point

[heavy sable]

You also have the Polestar cape and the Gold helmet from Expedition 1

[restive sierra]

mostly just the frigate, the fleet commander's cape and that golden gek mask

[quick tusk]

What the heck how much farther do I need to travel

[supple sedge]

try a different planet

[lusty slate]

I'm just in this for the Normandy, Golden First Spawn mask and Beachhead titles/etc.

[dire mirage]

LOL just got undiscovered system before even going to black hole, your step 1 lol

[remote thunder]

still plenty out of them out there

going to add "take a few warps away from exp route, then ask polo"

probably

i mean, something along those lines lol

[lusty slate]

Did get an lol at being awarded the fleet commander cape... while wearing the fleet commander cape. 😛

[remote thunder]

also look for buried caches with visor - they work too

[heavy sable]

I just realised I had the Immortal title from Permadeath so for now I'm sticking to that one

[lusty slate]

(It happens to be the cape I put on my current Autophage avatar. Which was ported in)

[quick tusk]

So I’m not really understanding the warp to a different system—I went through like 3 systems and it’s registering

[remote thunder]

only systems discovered by you, iow, that nobody's ever uploaded before, will count for that milestone

see <#nms-expedition message> pinned post, phase 4 uncharted

take a few warps away from exp route, then ask polo

[quick tusk]

Ohhh 😮 ok

[odd axle]

I'm a little bit worried about the icy veins milestone

I'm currently in like the 7th system and I haven't seen any ice planets that have anything you can fish in

[remote thunder]

craft mealworms bait, goto any planet with frost crystal on resource list with water, start fishing.

[remote thunder]

rdv2 system

[odd axle]

Ahhh

Okay so it doesn't have to be a ice planet just one that has ice crystals

[limber current]

what happens to settlement I get on expedition? Can I keep it afterwards?

[remote thunder]

frost crystal on resource list

[odd axle]

Cool

Thx

[remote thunder]

started from existing save? no

[remote thunder]

check pinned post <#nms-expedition message> for more info relevant to exp2 redux milestones

[odd axle]

By chance Do you know if this is around the starting system?

[remote thunder]

didnt' visit stations of rdv systems?

double check space station teleporter

[remote thunder]

rdv2 name's Suuraazumi

[odd axle]

Ah

I'll take a look

But I was in systems rather quick since I was just following the expedition route so I stopped at each one use the scanner room and left I don't know if that counts

[lusty slate]

Dooooone! Going to eat now. Will double dip QS missions and finish properly after

[swift crane]

Quest for catching frozen fish don't work for me...

[forest reef]

Wait, what race is piloting the Normandy..?

[hushed dew]

Doesn't look like I can finish this one e everytime I try to leave the planet I crash

[hushed dew]

This took me 2hrs because of thr RNG it has to be Blue Fish from the Frozen planet not just a Blue fish you've caught on the frozen planet

[swift crane]

This is making it a little bit more complicated...

[hushed dew]

Constantly hearing the Hazard protection and Storm dialogue was driving me crazy

[remote thunder]

disable multiplayer, perhaps go further and machine/console disconnect from internet completely

[hushed dew]

See how it says "Found in Icy and Frozen Waters"

[forest reef]

That's one.

[remote thunder]

that works

[forest reef]

It's gotta specify frozen and icy waters.

[hushed dew]

@swift crane and this 1 doesn't

[swift crane]

Ik, I did the Angler expedition

[remote thunder]

be sure to use rarity bait

to up your chances

[forest reef]

I did it with no bait.

[swift crane]

Now just wait 2h for the remaining 4

[forest reef]

Worked well enough for me.

I do suggest you go deep.

[remote thunder]

took me 7 tries with bait - shallow water,

[forest reef]

I was doing it between 97u and 101u

[hushed dew]

This worked thanks. Didn't even notice I had MP on

[odd axle]

What is better the mealworms or spicy chum?

[remote thunder]

i was doing it with 10u deep water

[remote thunder]

mealworms easier to craft

[odd axle]

Assuming I can find stuff the craft that way if I haven't found anything You got so probably just mealworms

Ye

[forest reef]

I suppose that's fair

I'm just lazy, lol

[remote thunder]

with something as easy as cond carbon

i don't get that argument tbh

but to each their own for sure

[forest reef]

Toss line into water > open tiktok > wait for controller to vibrate > profit.

[swift crane]

Or YouTube

[remote thunder]

still don't see the argument for taking 1min to craft bait and put it in - you'll have like 30 bait in there with one go.

but, like i said

to each their own

[forest reef]

I've just done it this way since anglers.

I totally get your way is MUCH better.

[odd axle]

I do have to ask by the way If you fish like an uncommon fish from an area do you have to move to a different one or does it not matter?

[remote thunder]

doesn't matter

[forest reef]

Doesn't matter. Keep going there

[hushed dew]

I didn't use any bait but from now on I'm crafting bait before an expedition because they seem to love these fishing challenges

[odd axle]

The game just crashed It doesn't like me fishing xD

[remote thunder]

disable multiplayer if you haven't already

[odd axle]

Is the multiplayer bugged?

[forest reef]

Can I keep the historiographical dosimeter to farm QS?

[odd axle]

And I believe I have it disabled already

Yeah this is extremely confusing It says just fish uncommon fish not to fish a specific type

[forest reef]

It does say fish uncommon from frozen planets

[odd axle]

Then why are uncommon fish not working xD

[forest reef]

The description has to specify frozen and icy waters.

[odd axle]

Yep

[remote thunder]

https://imgur.com/rslXVI4

read the description

if it doesn't say "icy/frozen waters", and it's not uncommon or better, it doesn't count

[odd axle]

Ah Okay

Oh cool my rare fish counted

[muted granite]

Wow, mealworms are amazingly easy. Chop some trees, throw in some oxygen in a Mk2, cond carbon for days, mealworms for days, objectives and nanites for days.

[swift crane]

I cought legendary fish before 5 frozen.... what's wrong with this game?

[odd axle]

XD

Surprisingly for me so far it's been going faster than discovering The 13 different flora

Oo I wonder if the lizard would cause frozen fish to spawn more

Lol lizard

Blizzard xD

And done I guess it's just up to luck

[lusty slate]

RNG be trollin'

[odd axle]

Ig xD

Is ice planet the same as frozen planet or those completely two different things?

[crystal jungle]

Where is the trade kiosk in the space station in the first system of the expedition

I can't seem to find it

[crystal jungle]

perfect thanks

[odd axle]

Let me just ask this better Do you have to find planets with the exact tagline for the photo stuff?

Like do you have to find ones that have the word airless planet or frozen planet or is it any ice planet and any planet with no atmosphere?

[low jackal]

should be just the same biome

[weary badge]

Yay! sheeeeee's here 🙂

[odd axle]

I just realized I can't craft tomes for expeditions

Tonnes

[stuck fern]

can i catch uncommon fish frozen with Chromtatic metal lure?

[chilly trench]

How to find undiscovered places 🤣 fml

[lusty slate]

You need to unlock the blueprint at a terminal on the freighter itself

[odd axle]

Just basically go to every single system next to the expedition route and pray to God that something's not discovered

[odd axle]

Ahhh

Ok

[lusty slate]

There's a terminal on the bridge next to the frigate mission NPC.

[remote thunder]

be patient, look at the mission hints

force cycle hints by pressing H or dpad left

[odd axle]

Is the best way to find waypoints to do the settlement charts or is there a different chart that you can do that's faster?

[hidden flame]

I have 3 of the 8 undiscovered....but i was almost in tears trying to find some last night, i finally had to quit and will try today....lol

[remote thunder]

just do secret charts

[odd axle]

The secure site?

[remote thunder]

get 6 secret charts

yes

ignore depot marker

spam use through errors

[lusty slate]

You can fly in the atmosphere and scan for POI ( points of interest). That's what I did

[remote thunder]

also side note, popping charts in ship avoids overhead zoom out

[lusty slate]

FYI, you need to interact with the waypoint/save poles to chart.

[remote thunder]

this is a waypoint

[odd axle]

Mhm

Ik

XD

[ashen shore]

Lol started the exp day one eh

[odd axle]

I would have told you guys sooner but I was just going to let you guys yap about explaining it to me :)

[opal glade]

ughhhhh

i did the expedition over and did only phase 3

such a pain in the ass

i got the back towel at least

[ashen shore]

😂

Weird switch only bug for the first 24 hours

[opal glade]

yeah

i mean i like getting quicksilver but it is annoying that they didn't do anything to fix it later

[lusty slate]

...I like you lol

[opal glade]

i clicked end the next day and it still was bugged

[ashen shore]

Yeah it was already locked in I had to start a new exp tok

Too

[opal glade]

so annoying

ill be looking forward to when switch gets cross-save capabilities

that'll be cool to unstuck some bugs

[odd axle]

:)

[lusty slate]

I am not touching cross saving until all the bugs are out of it.

[opal glade]

i can't cuz i play on switch and didn't play on PC/ I can't find my PC saves

and I don't really wanna redo all my progress

[swift crane]

When will this expedition end?

[opal glade]

2 weeks later?

[odd axle]

22nd?

[opal glade]

[ashen shore]

Still weird they let don't advertise such a impressive technical feature not even no emoji

[odd axle]

Dang a day off

[lusty slate]

(I'm holding off until I see what the Switch successor can do...)

[ashen shore]

I got some kinda bug all the bases from the exp are on my main saves teleport

Very annoying lol

[opal glade]

i dont think thats a bug that happened in previous expeditions too

[lusty slate]

Did you make any bases? Because if you started from main, those carry over

[swift crane]

I have a very strange bug, I can't land on the final planel...

[opal glade]

like..... at all or ever?

cuz it might not be loaded

or its still trying to load the ground

[swift crane]

I tried and my ship refuse to land, even on landing pads...

[opal glade]

yeah .... that happens

[remote thunder]

land 1000u away from anything or get out to space again and this time slowly fly down

[swift crane]

Tried that already, might try just rejoining game

[remote thunder]

yeah try that

[turbid moon]

what does it mean by this?

[remote thunder]

see pinned post

[swift crane]

I'll finish expedition tomorrow, bye

[odd axle]

Wait so is there any way to find out if a system has been discovered before you go there?

[remote thunder]

if they changed the name, cursoring on and off a system will make its name change

[odd axle]

Or do you just have to warp around and hope

[solar lagoon]

Do I need to complete the current expedition to get my ship from the Cursed expedition?

[remote thunder]

you mean use boundary herald to play, progress and complete exp2 redux?

[solar lagoon]

Yes

[remote thunder]

goto anomaly

claim it

or copy it if you had it equipped in primary save and started from existing save

[solar lagoon]

I went to the anomaly earlier, I wasn't sure where to go, there's so many NPCs about. I went to the place that everyone was crowding around and it told me I had to complete the current expedition. Which NPC do I need to go to? (Are they at the entrance, or upstairs or something?)

[odd axle]

I don't get what you mean by this A lot of people don't change the names of systems they found

[remote thunder]

if they didnt change the name and uploaded it, there's no way to tell

because name wont change from proc gen name when you hover over it in the galaxy map

[odd axle]

Dang

[remote thunder]

quicksilver shop, collect expedition rewards

[odd axle]

So it is literally just warping until you find one

[remote thunder]

yep

[solar lagoon]

thank you so much

[odd axle]

Welp

[remote thunder]

[odd axle]

So I could just get black hole coordinates from what's his face but wouldn't that mean that I'd be super far away from the expedition route ?

[remote thunder]

save discover systems milestone for last

won't have to step foot in rdv systems again

[odd axle]

Got it

[remote thunder]

iow wouldn't matter if you were close or not

that said

visit rdv stations

always a teleporter away

[ashen shore]

Could just turn your wifi off too

[hushed dew]

How do I discover systems if someone's already discovered them a year ago 🤔

[odd axle]

Well okay I discovered my first system Cool

[remote thunder]

[odd axle]

I was just getting back on track and boom first discovery

[remote thunder]

now don't upload it if you want someone else after to get the same shot

[odd axle]

Ight

[remote thunder]

thats me saying

don't have to do what i say

but since there's so many people worried about this

[odd axle]

Cool I found an area that is just completely undiscovered so that's dope

[lusty slate]

Tip: if you find one undiscovered system, hang around that cluster. Chances are the surrounding systems are also untouched.

[odd axle]

I knew I was getting close when it said places were discovered yesterday

[odd axle]

Yee

[lusty slate]

...which you just found out lol

[hushed dew]

So I need to just warp around until it says I discovered it?

Do I need to use the freighter?

[odd axle]

No I knew that I was like well if I'm in an undiscovered area that probably means that all these are not discovered yet

[remote thunder]

"first contact"

[lusty slate]

Yup yup

[remote thunder]

no

[lusty slate]

The black hole Polo marked for me dumped me in an undiscovered area

[hushed dew]

Good because it's rubbish and I'm using the ship from the last expedition

[remote thunder]

only need to do 1 freighter warp in this expedition

[lusty slate]

A lot of the RD stations have S class hyperdive mods. Just two of those will get you 5-600 ish ly.

But copying in a ship works too.

[odd axle]

Okay I feel like I'm missing something are you able to just warp to the next system on a route?

[remote thunder]

youre able to warp to any system within current warp range and capabilities

[odd axle]

No no I'm just asking in general okay like there's the destination galactic core Do I have to always enter free look to go to the next section in that route?

[hushed dew]

If it says "Data Unavailable" is that a sign of undiscovered

[lusty slate]

Sorry misread

[odd axle]

Np

[remote thunder]

data unavailable means current ship doesn't have either eco or conflict scanner or both

or if no race icon either, uncharted system.

[hushed dew]

Strange because my ship has both

[remote thunder]

see above

[odd axle]

Is it in a system that your drive can't go to?

[remote thunder]

if i were to copy a ship in, i'd make sure it had indium drive on it

[heavy sinew]

wat section is the myth beacon under i cant find it

[remote thunder]

Other curiosities

<:info:850810445577453658> Galaxy Map: NPC presence

Star systems can be inhabited, abandoned or uncharted. We can easily tell the difference between inhabited and uncharted, but abandoned systems are a little easier to miss. Take a look at the embedded image.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

uncharted != undiscovered

[hushed dew]

Im on 4/8 so I'm doing well and I haven't copied my ship I just redeemed it from the anomaly vendor like I usually do with any expedition ship.

[heavy sinew]

🫡

[hushed dew]

Yeah the 1s I've "Discovered" have been the 3rd image

Where everything is unavailable

[remote thunder]

expected, since most players won't have unlocked any hyperdrive tech

[hushed dew]

Now for my next question how do I know if it's an airless planet

[remote thunder]

rusted metal on resource list

[hushed dew]

Wow I feel dumb 🤣

That should have been obvious thanks for telling me

[stray gale]

Anyone got a list of stuff to bring from main save to Expedition?

[remote thunder]

bring crafting, refining, recharging and freighter base building basics; something to sell/refine for nanites, and units

[hushed dew]

I wish I had a alist but I can recommend a fishing rig and bait a conflict and Economy scanner a load of freighter building materials for rooms

[stray gale]

Can just bring straight cash? Neat.

[remote thunder]

tritium, gold, silver

[remote thunder]

you bring stuff to sell for units

[stray surge]

Antimatter and antimatter accessories

[hushed dew]

You can bring trade items to sell for cash

[stray gale]

Ah... That makes more sense.

THanks all.

[hushed dew]

Before you start I could tell you all the rooms you need to make if you want

[remote thunder]

you'll be able to buy everything needed

[hushed dew]

That's true

[remote thunder]

multiple locations selling amino chamber for example

[hushed dew]

I'd also recommend bringing a water lander for convenience

[stray gale]

That would be good...

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message> has a list of all milestones objectives and rewards per phase

https://app.nmsassistant.com/

look them up

you'll know what to bring

that said

[hushed dew]

I'm gonna need to remember that because I keep coming in blind

[remote thunder]

amino chamber etc bps can just be unlocked in anomaly

and then crafted, if you brought crafting basics

[hushed dew]

My main save I use for expedition prep is set to free crafting

[heavy sinew]

does going back to my normal save after adding the ship to my fleet on the exp add it to the original save

[remote thunder]

no

you'll still have to 1) own a freighter in main save 2) claim normandy in main save

[heavy sinew]

i see

[remote thunder]

pratically, exp runs are a different save

regardless if started from existing or new

knowing that,

remember that phase and final expedition rewards are always unlocked account wide, can be claimed once per save, in any save under the same account

so, for the other saves in your account, it doesn't matter if you claim any of the unlocked rewards in expedition - it only matters to other saves that you unlocked rewards account wide

other saves, present or future

non consumable quicksilver unlocks, scrap dealer, autophage, twitch - all those are account wide

[hushed dew]

Also expedition rewards can be redeemed on those saves too so you can redeem the boundary herald or any other ship you have which Is what I do each time. You can also use this method to get more than 1 of them on your main save by copying your ship should you happen to lose 1 like I did

[gray sun]

Where is my cheese farm

I need my cheese

[ashen shore]

I wonder how they'll remix omega because imo it was a really boring tutorial
But the quicksilver rewards were awesome

[gray sun]

What is life without cheese

All the expeditions are varying levels or boring tbh

I just do em cuz rewards are worth it

[hushed dew]

Do buried tech not count for the milestone?

[ashen shore]

Omega was one big tutorial though
It came with a free weekend

[gray sun]

No

I got buried biological material

[hushed dew]

Buried Cache count?

[remote thunder]

no; try buried caches

[remote thunder]

yes

[odd axle]

Cool literally just answer my question

dope

Wait you can Target sweep for them

[jagged sedge]

A poor name for a monolith

[odd axle]

lol

[jagged sedge]

Perhaps I should have cropped that a bit, it's kinda small

[odd axle]

No it's better like that

Because like you have this giant ass structure and it's just named dog waste xD

[wicked obsidian]

Hehehehehhehehehehehehehhe

Funny

[jagged sedge]

I usually don't pay attention to stuff like that, but this one caught my eye

[lusty slate]

I'm curious about the Liquidators redux optional milestones since the Liquidator Minotaur parts were unlocked permanently in the QS store

And if the QS payout in Omega doesn't get nerfed, I'll probably run it again. That was a niiiice QS chunk for just a few days play...

[chilly trench]

Soo phase 5 the 3d one I don’t quite understand

For the mythbacon

[lusty slate]

Buy the Myth Beacon from the Quicksilver merchant.

[ashen shore]

Hopefully a third set of mech armor

[magic portal]

any do's or don'ts when doing expedition terminus to start a new expedition on your normal save?

[lusty slate]

Okie dokie. Time to do QS things and then actually end the exped.

[ashen shore]

Luckily it's a easy weekend

[lusty slate]

I'm so close to finishing clearing out the QS store...

[fringe sierra]

So idk if this is all the time as out of expedition play is limited on this save. But is there a known bug on switch for exiting the minotaur and... idk either black screening or putting switch to sleep

[ashen shore]

I got most the base parts from the Q's store I don't really care about the heads lol

Need more base parts tbh

[fringe sierra]

Didn't happen in last exp just this one

[ashen shore]

I've beat the exp twice never had that
Weird

[fringe sierra]

I haven't had it on mine. My wife however it's like a 40% chance she can exit without issue

[ashen shore]

I see

[fringe sierra]

Ty

[ashen shore]

No thank you

[lapis forge]

Would you claim expedition rewards on your main save or on the expedition save?

[fringe sierra]

Well u claim them as u go through the expedition. And then whatever u can't transfer is cross save accessible by claiming it on the main save

Soooo both

[lapis forge]

Nice!

[frozen laurel]

I think I've done something wrong. I've completed everything before I've even reached the first Rendezvous. One warp and I found a frost planet for fish. I still don't have access to the anomaly. 🤣

[languid spoke]

once you have jumped you have access to the anomaly

[remote thunder]

have you claimed the warp out of starter system milestone? then you should absolutely have access to anomaly via quick menu in space

[lusty slate]

tapping foot waiting for QS daily to cycle C'mon, I want off the expedition server...

[frozen laurel]

Only thing left is to discover the new systems. And all the Rendezvous.

[remote thunder]

try restarting the game

[frozen laurel]

I will. I'm also surprised at how nearly everything can be done in the first system.

[remote thunder]

definitely not the first time that has happened

[frozen laurel]

I won't even need to take any of the stuff I brought over through the terminal.

[lusty slate]

Same. I left like half the stuff I took in there. Easy expedition, IMO

[ashen shore]

Yeah you should of did it day one for the quicksilver lol

[lusty slate]

I know!

HG, where's my extra QS. Yes, I already have the cape, but if you're just throwing QS around...

[ashen shore]

I tried telling you to start it lol

[lusty slate]

Me and my cautious butt. Oh well.

[ashen shore]

Lol

[stuck fern]

how do i do the ''signs to nowhere'' where i have to find chart waypoints or something? i dont understand the explantion

[remote thunder]

this is a waypoint - interact with these

[odd axle]

all right I think I've made my decision by the way the most annoying bug in this game out of anything has to be the just randomly can't land on a planet thing

[remote thunder]

@stuck fern can just fly around spamming quick scan with your ship, or recommend using secret/secure charts, but ignore depot marker/spam use through error

[stuck fern]

😄 omg i was standing next to one because i wanted to ask on discord haha, thx

[lusty slate]

Okie, let's sell off some junk and get out of dodge...

[odd axle]

Does anybody know are they working on a fix for this or do they not tell what their working on?

Because apparently this has been going on for like 4 years I've seen Reddit posts from the last 4 years of people saying that it's just a constant issue of not being able to land on planets mostly in expeditions

[remote thunder]

i've ran 16 expeditions, all the reruns - i only had that problem once, with expedition 16, at the grave site in phase 5 - landed 1000u away just fine.

[odd axle]

This is my second Expedition and the like 12th time it's happened

[remote thunder]

got mp enabled or disabled

are you landing near areas where other players have uploaded bases?

if you save in the station+reload, does it then let you land just fine first try?

[odd axle]

I have multiplayer disabled

[odd axle]

Just tried this and no I'm restarting the game so I have to see if that's if that's solve otherwise I probably got to land like 17 miles away because it's probably the base thing like you mentioned and the entire surface of this planet is covered in bases so it's going to be a struggle

[median sparrow]

I've never had a landing isue before and I've played since day 1. That's odd.

[odd axle]

Here physically won't let me land I'm on the other side of the planet by the way

It still won't let me

[remote thunder]

might be a bug that only affects certain combinations of hardware not sure

worth reporting anyways imo

especially if it only happens in expeditions/populated systems

[odd axle]

And that okay what what's different about Hardware that would make it so the game's completely unplayable? That doesn't really make any sense

[remote thunder]

differences in code

[lusty slate]

Back on main. Always feels like unpacking after a trip lol

[remote thunder]

gpus aren't 100% understood either

don't believe every programmer in the world knows how everything runs inside a gpu

not even close

[odd axle]

So what do I do ?

Its the last planet and I physically cannot land on it

[remote thunder]

try restarting machine completely, and go offline before launching game

[odd axle]

Just did that that didn't fix it

[remote thunder]

did what, sorry

[odd axle]

I quit out of the game restarted my computer we launched the game and I still can't land on the planet

[remote thunder]

go offline doesn't mean "appear offline" in friends list, just making sure

[echo widget]

There is no way to have any of the loot I get during the expediton go back to my main save afterwards right?

[remote thunder]

started from new save, need another player to hold items while you swap saves; from existing, use the same way you did to bring items in

[echo widget]

Sorry I started from a pre-existing save. I got the pirate freighter and was thinking that would be cool to have after the expedtion is over. 😦

[remote thunder]

no, freighter won't merge

can't copy it either

pirate freighters are easy to find

trigger any rescue battle after the 2nd rescue battle of a save and owning a freighter in an outlaw system, you'll find it

[echo widget]

I don't really want a pirate freighter, but the freighter I do want has been a pain (Dreadnought).

[remote thunder]

don't need no requirements other than the one mentioned (2 rescue battles completed), portal in, warp out, save, warp back in, battle

[ashen shore]

I started with a pirate freighter for some reason lol

[echo widget]

I'm only a few weeks into the game so I'm trying to unlock the glyphs on my main save (until this expedition started to take all my time). Hopefully I can find one soon after ❤️

[remote thunder]

known bug, save you started from/loaded before starting exp from new save has a pirate freighter

[south crown]

Dreadnought is nice but that antenna as soon as you leave the hangar is annoying lol

[boreal root]

So if I get the final phase Normandy, can I get that frigate on my normal save?

[remote thunder]

yes

goto anomaly, qs shop, collect exp rewards

in any save, once per save

[boreal root]

Perfect thanks!

[echo widget]

On a more expedition note. If I'm doing the alien chart part in phase 5 do I only go to the monolith ones and ignore the ancient ruins ones? The pinned post confused me a bit ❤️

[remote thunder]

hist lesson?

all types marked by alien chart work.

[lusty slate]

So what exactly does the historiographical dosimeter do on main?

[remote thunder]

nada

[lusty slate]

So a souvenir basically

[remote thunder]

ahuh

[lusty slate]

Innnto the legacy stash it goes

Waaaait a minute. I stashed it in the freighter and it shows up claimable at the QS merchant again. Hi, exploit.

[fickle fable]

aight gang what do i take for the expedition?

[remote thunder]

bring crafting, refining, recharging and freighter base building basics (dust, cmetal, o2, carbon, tritium, gold, silver, etc); something to sell/refine for nanites (e.g. sus packets tech/arms, tainted metal/runaway mould) and sell for units (e.g. stasis device, illegal goods)

[fickle fable]

alright thanks man

[odd axle]

So a quick question are the black holes supposed to take you to undiscovered areas or is it still just random

[median sparrow]

Random

[echo widget]

I went through 4 black holes yesterday until it gave me undiscovered systems.

[remote thunder]

black holes push player 6-10k LY towards the core; going through the same black hole always leads to the same exit system for every player that goes through it, but galaxy map also goes up/down/left/right

[opal glade]

actually not random

[opal glade]

each black hole goes to a specific place

[remote thunder]

correct, not random

[solar lagoon]

I've gone through one black hole, then warped as far as I could, I'm already 2/8

[remote thunder]

answered above already

[echo widget]

What I ended up doing is I went toward the next black hole and just stopped 1 system before it, and all of those were free territory to claim.

[solar lagoon]

Warped to a black hole
Warped to the furthest planet I could go to, downwads, 1/8 - Warped to the next one as far as I could going downwards, 2/8
Seems more time consuming than difficult

[echo widget]

I feel wherever I have to place this Myth Beacon is cursed... it just keeps getting further away as I walk toward the location.

[lusty slate]

I teleported to the starter system. Warped away a few times. Got black hole coordinates that dumped me straight into undiscovered country. Hopped around systems in that cluster, all untouched

[remote thunder]

went to the marked spot? playing solo?

[echo widget]

So as I sit here for 10 more minutes waiting for my last fleet expedition to return, I have finished everything else in the expedition missions.

Is there anything I should do before going back to my normal save?

[fickle fable]

you need to do expeditions?

fleet ones

[solar lagoon]

You need to do 3 but you can abandon them after you start them and it still counts

[remote thunder]

can just send+cancel+debrief+end, repeat

[echo widget]

Oh I found it, was just weird because while on the planet the F visor just kept sasying 600 meters away.

[fickle fable]

sick

should the regular freighter i spawn in have a pirate interior or nah?

[remote thunder]

known bug, save you started from/loaded before starting exp from new save has a pirate freighter

[echo widget]

Is there anything that I need to claim or complete after doing all the expedition tasks though? All those cosmetics and the frigate are just added to every save file you have?

[remote thunder]

all phase and final rewards are unlocked account wide and can be claimed once per save, in any save under the same account, from the anomaly qs shop

[fickle fable]

yeah claim them in the space anomaly

[remote thunder]

don't have to claim anything in the anomaly in the expedition run to be clear

just be sure to actually claim the phase and final rewards in expedition

[echo widget]

Should I like sell all the items I earned, transfer anything to somewhere specific? Do something with the ship that it let me copy from my m ain save?

If I made a copy of my main save ship and then put upgrades on it, do those just fall off when I revert back to my normal save?

[remote thunder]

sell items so that you ensure that it goes into unit/nanites/quicksilver balance merged. like you did when you got into anomaly and copied ship from primary, equip that ship now before ending expedition if you upgraded it more

same way you could copy it to exp, same way you'll copy it back into primary

[echo widget]

Wait do I keep my unit/nanite/quicksilver earned?

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.

Thank you ❤️ I learned a lot with this being my first expedition.

[remote thunder]

yep, they'll merge

[cunning idol]

Whats the best way to so the Uncharted Milestone which is discovering star systems

[remote thunder]

Phase 4: Uncharted: Have to actually discover systems (just the system, no need to land on any planet). Make sure you visited the station of the last rendezvous system you've been to, take a few warps away from expedition systems (up/down/left/right, you pick), then get black hole coordinates from Polo@Space Anomaly, and go through it. Finally, warp again away from that position at the current max range of your ship, 1-3 times - that should take you into undiscovered areas.

[odd axle]

All right cool thank you peeps

[tight skiff]

OK, I have only one milestone left. The funny thing is... I have to wait for my frigates to return from mission. It will take 13 hours. So I can't progress on my saved game until those 13 hours pass. To me, that's a bit of weird milestone design. Another one that's weird design for me is making a milestone that gets harder and harder the more users participate in the expedition. That's like paying user participation with hardship. Weird.
What's your thoughts on this?

[remote thunder]

Phase 3: Called by the Stars: 1) Send frigate on expedition, 2) interact with Fleet Command Room, 3) Abort Expedition, 4) interact again and Debrief Captain/End Expedition, repeat process.

done

[echo widget]

13 hours? Where does this number come from?

[remote thunder]

Another one that's weird design for me is making a milestone that gets harder and harder the more users participate in the expedition. That's like paying user participation with hardship. Weird.
tbf, there's lots of ways to get away from expedition route; heck they even have travelers at almost every station en route

ah also, fleet expeditions run even when game is turned off

[tight skiff]

Yeah, I'll go to sleep and let the freighters do their job 😂

[remote thunder]

i'm going to do the same pretty soon

[cunning idol]

Thank you sir

[solar lagoon]

Just abandon it, it still counts

[warm gyro]

is there a lot of space battle in the new expedition? Or the vanilla game either?

[lusty slate]

Almost no combat at all in Beachhead.

[remote thunder]

besides space combat which you can ignore, no

in exp2 there's warp in rescue battles every 3 warps almost

if you ship warp that is

[lusty slate]

And there are ways to nope out of those

[warm gyro]

tyvm. Love the game, missions, crafting, all that stuff. I played EGS for the longest because it itched my space game itch. 7dtd. But this game, wow! Oh thart`s ok. I read a little on that

[neat dragon]

how do i get indium if i cant even get to a blue star system? since all the indium is in the blue system

[remote thunder]

indium drive needs emeril to craft

[warm gyro]

Ok, many "selections" is a go for me in my simple gaming. Preceded by a wonderful gaming forum of folks helping.

[remote thunder]

emeril needs cadmium, cadmium needs chromatic metal

[warm gyro]

LOL, I have that search on an open tab 🙂

[remote thunder]

@neat dragon use ship drive ofc, anomaly research

freighter drives actually require the same stellar metal they meant to let access

[hardy ridge]

just finished the expedition. how do i get my new freighter?

[remote thunder]

freighter frigate - goto quicksilver shop, collect expedition rewards in any save under the same account

[hardy ridge]

... this whole time i thought i was getting a new freighter lmao

[hardy ridge]

thank you

[neat dragon]

can freighters even go to the colored systems?

[fringe sierra]

So random question

I am in the exp and I see I can claim my cursed rewards. Like the ship.

Can I then transfer it back from the exp and or have it turned to currency

Not necessarily planning to. Just curious if I can...... inflate my end of exp benefits 🤣

[remote thunder]

once you get the materials to build their hyperdrive techs, yes - thing is, normally progression is made through ship first. that said, indium can drop from buried caches, even in yellow star systems.

[cunning idol]

anyone knows how to get navigation data i forgot

[unkempt kraken]

@cunning idol
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Obtaining Nav Data

To be able to get specific planetary charts from the Station Cartographer, we need nav data. Easily gathered from lootable objects around Space Stations.

Alternative sources:

• Some Component/Tech Vendor npcs in Minor Settlements/Planetary Archives;
• Waypoint/windmill save points, often next to buildings, the first time they're interacted with.
• Ancient Data Structure clusters on some planets;
  

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

@cunning idol phase 3 milestone 1 gets you x10 nav data

[remote thunder]

Can I then transfer it back from the exp
yes

have it turned to currency
turn items/scrap ship into currency first, then finish

[cunning idol]

Spent them all some how join my game and give me some

[remote thunder]

not even in game, and i should be in bed already

[cunning idol]

Fuck it join me

[grim vortex]

If I lost my Dosimiter, am I out of luck>?

[remote thunder]

lost how?

[grim vortex]

I'm guessing I sold it without realizing what it was

[remote thunder]

can you still reload restore point and get it back or not? check if it's a craftable, but afaik it isn't.

[grim vortex]

Yeah, I'm not sure when it left my inventory; only just realized there was a mission that requires it. Hopefully it's not a blocker for the expedition as a whole

[remote thunder]

it kinda is

[grim vortex]

So, without the Dosimiter, no Normandy?

[remote thunder]

use service bot item delivery https://nomansapp.com/ to get 1

[fringe sierra]

Well u can run the exp from a fresh start the rewards are cross profile

Or that lol I didn't know bout that

[remote thunder]

unless they can't mp, service bot can help

[cunning idol]

Is it legit? I want starrunner

[remote thunder]

and salvage the run

[remote thunder]

runner/exp 12 is most likely getting rerun this year

[cunning idol]

Oki dokie ill wait

[exotic fiber]

what should I pack from my main save to bring over to the expedition?

[median sparrow]

Warp fuel lol.

[exotic fiber]

what about not-so-common mats to craft necessary things?

[grim vortex]

I can't believe that worked.

[median sparrow]

From my experience, while not hard. Chomatic metals were tedious for me

[remote thunder]

list of milestones and objectives: <#nms-expedition message>. mostly, bring crafting, refining, recharging and freighter base building basics (dust, cmetal, o2, carbon, tritium, gold, silver, etc); something to sell/refine for nanites (e.g. sus packets tech/arms, tainted metal/runaway mould) and sell for units (e.g. stasis device, illegal goods)

[remote thunder]

have fun

[grim vortex]

THank you, as always

[remote thunder]

do be more careful with items in expedition

whenever in doubt, ask

whether you can dump something or not

[red shale]

Is the curse expedition over?

[remote thunder]

yes, currently live exp2 redux

[red shale]

Dang.....missed it.....

[neat dragon]

this seems rediculous, but all i need to do for one is discover uncharted systems, and idk where to start lol

every system i visit has been discovered lol

[remote thunder]

Phase 4: Uncharted: Have to actually discover systems (just the system, no need to land on any planet). Make sure you visited the station of the last rendezvous system you've been to, take a few warps away from expedition systems (up/down/left/right, you pick), then get black hole coordinates from Polo@Space Anomaly, and go through it. Finally, warp again away from that position at the current max range of your ship, 1-3 times - that should take you into undiscovered areas.

[open dagger]

Anyone have found a way to quickly get the undiscovered systems quest done? This one is breaking my (insert whatever)'s ..and I'm running out of warp fuel

[remote thunder]

see above

get hyperdrive upgrade modules for ship hyperdrive instead of using freighter to warp, if that's what you're doing

[exotic fiber]

also advice here about that. Timestamp 5:40. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q33EZo6K6I

[remote thunder]

with 3 s-class hyperdrive modules, you should be able to do lots of warps

[open dagger]

Yes, just saw that - TYVM

[remote thunder]

please remember that galaxy map goes up/down/left/right

you could alternatively get a few glyphs from travelers in rdv space stations

and type in some random addresses too

something to think about: game is about uploading discoveries too, to catalog the universe, but if we don't upload in exp2.. we make other players life's easier

[opaque delta]

Do I have to dismiss one of my freighters before I claim this new one?

[remote thunder]

we can own up to 30 frigates

[exotic fiber]

they said freighter, not frigate

[opaque delta]

I thought it was 20

[cunning idol]

How do i do collective consciousness

[remote thunder]

we can only own 1 freighter, we can't dismiss a freighter, (but we can dismiss a frigate - if it's not our last one)

[opaque delta]

I meant frigate sorry

[remote thunder]

see this post <#nms-expedition message>

[remote thunder]

yes i know

nothing to be sorry about, common thing

just needed to be corrected for accuracy that's all

[fringe sierra]

@remote thunder do u have portal codes to all the systems along the exp route

[remote thunder]

[fringe sierra]

Ok but what about the other systems along the route? Or does my log/bases/space stations transfer over too

[remote thunder]

you should drop and claim base computers in systems you wish to return to later, since bases merge back into primary - alternatively, screenshot glyph addresses. discoveries should also merge, and possibly stations i don't recall for sure.

[exotic fiber]

i forget. if I sent a copy of a ship or tool over to the expedition, does it go over with its tech installed or totally empty? (i know its inventory goes over empty)

[remote thunder]

tech inventory is copied in full

[exotic fiber]

sweet!!

last time i did this i made a misunderstanding, resulting in not giving myself enough mats to make into enough nanites in the exp to buy both the ship copy & the multitool copy, so I could only get one of them. If, by any chance of my bad luck that happens again this time, which should be higher priority? Ship, or tool?

[woeful bolt]

I saved up a bunch of nanites and pulled in Golden Vector for the expedition. <3

[remote thunder]

i'd strongly recommend buying sus packets tech/arms - and bringing those in - top value, x-class hazard prot modules are worth some 700 nanites each. ship is priority, no on foot combat or any mining that actually needs to be done in exp2 redux

for you to get an idea, 30min of hopping around outlaw stations, buying all sus packets tech/arms from contraband agent - unpacked them all - sold x-class upgrade modules of all sorts - 40k nanites

[magic portal]

icy veins mission, will freezing planet qualify? I can't find any water on it so far

[remote thunder]

rdv2 system has a suitable planet

https://imgur.com/rslXVI4

[magic portal]

thanks

[remote thunder]

note: uncommon or rarer, must say "Icy/frozen waters" in descrption

[magic portal]

is rdv2 the planet name or system name?

[muted granite]

Nope - but that info is pinned in this channel 🍻

[magic portal]

is that system quite a bit of jumps away? don't see it

[cunning idol]

How do i do echo for the ages

[exotic fiber]

id rather not have to spend so much actively farming stuff just to prepare for the exp. im gonna be doing this out of my most well-stocked save.

here's what ive laid out to "pack" so far. what more is needed? (well warp fuel, I know...)

[muted granite]

If you haven’t been to rendezvous 2 yet, it might be a few jumps away, yeah. Otherwise, if you have been, and been to the station in it, you should be able to teleport back to it. Also, if you have access to the anomaly, and MP enabled, you could scan for bases that are uploaded to help travelers like you find ice fishing 👏

[remote thunder]

i did it from new save, took me 2h25m start to finish and i made some mistakes

[remote thunder]

that looks good yeah

[exotic fiber]

update

[remote thunder]

yep, looks good

[vast nest]

I swear... I am spamming E, but it showed me no prompt like landing area not clear, it just WON'T LAND

[exotic fiber]

alright, time to get started i guess

how do i copy the ship at the expedition terminus again?

nevermind i looked it up

[remote thunder]

you equip ship and MT you want to copy, then start

once you get access to anomaly - goto terminus, copy.

[exotic fiber]

yup

[remote thunder]

[hidden flame]

anyone know how to do phase 5 milestone 6 the last thing?

[woeful osprey]

how do i complete the historiography lesson one

[hidden flame]

you get planetary charts and find ruins...then select the nada option.

[woeful osprey]

the nada option?!
