[woeful osprey]

huh??

[hidden flame]

when you get to the ruin and click the cube or sphere or triangle...it has an option to send the data to nada

[woeful osprey]

i may have bought the wrong maps...

im dumb

thank you kindly

[hidden flame]

I did too

[woeful osprey]

i'll try to speed tho to help you

[hidden flame]

thanks...i just finished...lol. whew!

Finally the intructions showed up on my screen what to do to finish phase 5 milestone 6....just took a bit....finally finished!

[woeful osprey]

uh oh well, at least u got done

finished
i love that little song

[naive crypt]

Phase 4 almost complete, time to complete phase 5 and discover 8 systems

Btw the signal booster+surge battery works

[lusty slate]

Oh, they fixed it? Surge batteries weren't working in Cursed

[naive crypt]

I think they added it to cursed on accident, they were meant for this exped.

[lusty slate]

I wonder how stressful it's been at HG lately, with trying to get cross save off the ground + LNF, etc.

The first day of Beachhead, the fleet commander cape was swapped with QS on Switch (Switch had capes since Echos). Like as if someone forgot

Which was then fixed VERY quickly via the server.

[void cairn]

Anyone have a link to a guide for this expedition?

[quick tusk]

I’m sorry is there away to jump to system to know what hasn’t bent discovered yet because warp jumping cost resources and it’s annoying every system I jump to doesn’t register

[cunning idol]

How do i do echo for the ages the icon wont pop up

[naive crypt]

Time to put down a Mythos Bacon

[frozen laurel]

Tips in the pins here.

[void cairn]

Ah, ok. Thanks

[cunning idol]

How do i do echo for the ages the icon popped up and no im on a planet and it keeps moving

[naive crypt]

Whats the mission about again?

[fringe sierra]

Ok im confused. Am I supposed to make fuel for the 3 fleet exp

[naive crypt]

There is a reward that gives you fuel

[fringe sierra]

Yea the one that wants u to do 3 fleet missions

[fringe sierra]

Nvm.... im dumb

[warm gyro]

Question. I claimed another,a, craft. I got in mine, because the claimed one was broken and wouldnt lift. I used my main ship, went low level withing a mile circling. I lost that claimed ship, I cant see it. I`m broken lol. Any way for me to go back to it and repair it to be able to summon it?

[stray surge]

It should actually show up in your freighter’s docking bay

[naive crypt]

You need to find a boundary failure for that

[warm gyro]

Uh

[naive crypt]

It will show you an approx position, quite far way tbh

[stray surge]

So your freighter, it will randomly spawn a few of your ships in the hangar. Even if they are broken. You can hop in it there and repair it.

[naive crypt]

Or you can summon that Ship in the anomaly, it will fix its thrusters and pulse too

[warm gyro]

Oh man, thankee kindly lams. I love this game but kinda a lot of stuff to remember for an old broke d**k Vet 🙂

[naive crypt]

If you try to summon it in freighter or space station it will show you an error

[dense wave]

It shouldn't in a station

[warm gyro]

I have to do the anomoly thing soon anyway correct?. I`m trying mthe new exp

[naive crypt]

If you warp once you will be able to summon the anomaly

[warm gyro]

I have my freighter and need to go thewre and build some stuff

Oh that`s right, I remember reading that now. you folks are rock stars. Cheers

[woeful bolt]

second rendezvous is fun to get to :P

[severe cloak]

man, I love my dreadnought freighter that isn't a dreadnought freighter

(expedition glitch moment)

[woeful bolt]

Sentinels won't let me be. Or let me be me. So let me see.

[severe cloak]

it's funny

[woeful bolt]

It's very rectangular.

[neat dragon]

how do i get this myth beacon? i think im either too tired from grinding it all day and cant think anymore, or its just really late like 11:51 pm and im feeling it

[woeful bolt]

🛏️

[stray surge]

Quicksilver terminal in the anomaly

[neat dragon]

im looking at it, maybe i overread it

[woeful bolt]

😴 <-

[naive crypt]

Lucky!!!! i just found an undiscovered region

[woeful bolt]

nice

[naive crypt]

Imma name the systems after the first 8 Arrancar Ressurecions from Bleach

[neat dragon]

got it, sorry everyone

[woeful bolt]

no apologies necessary

go to bed :P

[neat dragon]

i just got 2 more left

[woeful bolt]

no fun if you can't enjoy it

[neat dragon]

true

[woeful bolt]

They will be there tomorrow

[severe cloak]

my favorite mission/j

[woeful bolt]

the placeholders are funny

[severe cloak]

indeed

[naive crypt]

I think I am running out of names

[median goblet]

In expedition, discover 1 ancient ruins, option for "take dosimeter reading for nada" is grey out. How to do this milestones?

[naive crypt]

Oh no no no, that 1 ancient ruin is discovered, that milestone is done, you will get the dosimeter in phase 5, and you will use that to gather reading thrice.

[astral abyss]

So are the rewards good for this expedition? Because there's only 1 to unlock from expedition 2

If we're getting that starship shown in the trailer, then I'd say it'll be worth it, but are we?

[naive crypt]

That's a frigate

[misty plinth]

Isn't it worth it just to have a chain of fun things to do?

[true meteor]

Is the Myth beacon good for anything in the main save?

If I took it over?

[astral abyss]

Unfortunately for me the last expedition was enough to do the fun but repetitive stuff we do on all expeditions (walk this much, kill this many, etc)

[astral abyss]

Oh, that. Well it's worth it then.

[true meteor]

Yeah, an undamagable frigate.

[flat lotus]

Wat are the coords for first portal

[misty plinth]

#nms-expedition message

[true meteor]

You can always give them Tragedeigh spellings of names

[naive crypt]

Whazzat?

[true meteor]

https://www.reddit.com/r/tragedeigh/

[naive crypt]

Ah gotcha

[severe cloak]

feel kinda bad for just leaving namro on that icy planet to fish alone, but it was necessary. I must continue on.

[dusky oracle]

whats the best way to do phase 4 uncharted?

better fly on starship or warp using capital ship

[true meteor]

Teleport to a base that indicates its far from people and start jumping

I used my starship

[flat lotus]

shit

[dusky oracle]

gotcha thanks

is it showing the map with data unavailable?

[flat lotus]

i found a portal but got no glyphs

[true meteor]

You don't need to use the portals

[flat lotus]

where do i find glyphs

[naive crypt]

Aaaaand its finished

[flat lotus]

i do if i want to find undiscovered systems

[true meteor]

I didn't use them to find undiscovered systems

[naive crypt]

Just yeet yourself in a black hole a few times

Glyphs make the task 150% more tedius

[true meteor]

I went to a space station teleporter and teleported to an appropriately named base, picked a spot in free view and started jumping

It wasn't too many jumps before I hit undiscovered territory

[dusky oracle]

how do you know if the system is undiscovered by other players when you are looking at the galaxy map?

[flat lotus]

or

tell me how to get glyphs

[misty plinth]

Only way I can think of getting glyphs is ||visiting travelers graves||

[woeful ridge]

The ship from the recent expedition?🤔🤔

[strong saffron]

@dusky oracle u will see the first contac message. Read the pins on this channel

[severe cloak]

I crashed the game by mining a tiny bit of silver

[dusky oracle]

Ok thx, but cannot see it from galaxy map

[severe cloak]

I'll pick up where i left off tomorrow

[strong saffron]

@dusky oracle no u cant.

[dusky oracle]

ok thx, so just random encounter?

[true meteor]

Right

[dusky oracle]

ok

[naive crypt]

Find a traveller, give them 100 nanites and they will give you a grave location, go to that grave and it will teach you 1 glyph. Repeat that 15 more times to get all glyphs

[cunning sandal]

😂 🤣

[flat lotus]

where do i find travelers for runes?

[true meteor]

Space stations

[meager scroll]

Mostly regulated space stations, rarely on planetary outposts

[misty plinth]

Often space stations but sometimes on planet in odd locations ( I just talked to one at a repository ).

[true meteor]

You'll want at least 2 glyphs, because if you just get the first glyph and enter that in every spot you will end up in a place that has lots of people going to and so is heavily discovered already.

[balmy pagoda]

Which chart do I need to buy from the cartographer in space station to find the Fallen Giants milestone? The cartographer descritopns aren't very clear which is for fallen frieighters.

[exotic timber]

Distress Signal

Buy a few and spam activate them

I think there’s like 5 potential landmarks it can mark (the freighter one will specifically say “Crashed Frieghter”)

[balmy pagoda]

Oh ok thanks I thought disress signal was for the interstellar rescue. I thought maybe the clue of the red text so I bought the secure site of interest one and it showed me a building.

[flat lotus]

literally next to the core still no undiscovered systems

[tender stone]

How long do u guys think it’ll take to get 40 rep for explorer’s guild?

Nvm ig I’ll figure it out tmrw

[strong saffron]

@flat lotus dont move to the core in a strait line. Jump thru a woemhole and than in free roam choose the farthest planet u can jump to using your freighter. Ut has a longer reach vs your spaceship.
This should put u in uncharted teritory. Free roam. Mode

[balmy pagoda]

Is there any way to turn down that LOUD grinding sound when docking in the freighter? IDK it's always loud when going though the blue forcefields right before you dock.

[low jackal]

seems to always happen when you enter the airlock at a weird angle

try facing directly at the airlock

[median goblet]

Does Normandy stat can increased more after being used in frigate expedition?

[strong saffron]

@median goblet no

[balmy pagoda]

You could be right, it doesn't seem to make the loud noise when you exit.

[tight skiff]

It was fun to finish the expedition with the ship and multitool I was given. I don't use those in my regular save 😁

[fervent horizon]

Desolate or barren planets aren't necessarily airless planets are they?

Oh scratch that...Google says desolate planets count

Man I'm getting half this stuff done and I haven't even left the second rendezvous system lmao

[gaunt flax]

Okay, just finished and got the Normandy on my expedition save. What I need to know is how the hell do I get it on my other save? Yes, I have redeemed it, but it's still not in my fleet so how the hell do I actually recruit it?

[fervent horizon]

Get in the save you want it on and go to the quicksilver guy and you can hire it

[low jackal]

desolate and airless planet are both under the dead biomes

so they count

[gaunt flax]

@fervent horizon I just said that I've already redeemed it there but it's not listed in my fleet

[languid spoke]

the starter system has an airless planet, Echi 14/9R

[fervent horizon]

Ohh my bad....that's weird

[gaunt flax]

idk, I'll work with it somemore, could be on my end

[weary badge]

@gaunt flax by redeemed do you mean at the anomaly quicksilver merchant expo rewards, where you add to fleet from there?

[gaunt flax]

I think I figured it out, no biggie

[weary badge]

no, worries

[desert birch]

Hello, does someone know how to send dosimeter data to Nada for the 3rd mission of Part 5 of the expedition ?

[ashen heron]

I was just talking in game with someone that wanted this coods, so I'll just up this

[desert birch]

Cause I've collected data in alien ruins

But I don't know what to do from there

[ashen heron]

After you collect all 3 data, you need to go to the Quicksilver guy at the anomaly and buy a Myth Beacon

[desert birch]

Yeah, but I can't find it

Like, when I talk to the Quicksilver guy, it tell me normal stuff

Like "claim reward from expeditions"

[ashen heron]

It's one of the items that you buy with quicksilver

You need to scroll a little

Eventually you'll find it

It's a cheap item, I think it's 80 quicksilver or something like this

[silent knot]

the myth beacon is on the 'Other Curiosities' page

data is collected once from a ruin, plaque and monolith each

[desert birch]

Thanks you, I found it :)

[haughty panther]

Heh, Laura, that was me

I found those coords already and I was at Murasahi, but can't find Fuchuo

Thanks btw

Anyone have Fuchuo V's coords?

It's one jump off Murasahi but it just doesn't show up on my map

I wish you kept the exploration data and starbase portals when you go back to your main save

[languid spoke]

you keep the bases that you build

[misty plinth]

The pinned messages contain the rendezvous systems portal coordinates if you want to revisit them.

[haughty panther]

Right, I'm at one of those @misty plinth but the system I'm trying to get to is 1 warp off of it

but it doesn't show up on my map

[languid spoke]

maybe it has a different name

[ashen heron]

\o_

[misty plinth]

He has the name right it is in my discovery list

I just do not have portal coordinates for it

[languid spoke]

what color is the sun?

or what race is controlling it

[misty plinth]

Fuchuo V is in a yellow Gek system

[shut plank]

Hi, anyone experiencing crash upon the game initialization of the Expedition 2: Beachhead for Switch ? Is really unplayable from my end.

[languid spoke]

one jump in what direction relative to the expedition?

[misty plinth]

It fell along the path from start to 1st rendezvous.

[languid spoke]

found it

[languid spoke]

jumping to it right now

[robust atlas]

No problems on my side…

System or game update pending?

[haughty panther]

My map just doesn't show any of those planets

[shut plank]

Game version is 5.2.2
Switch OLED console is 19.0.1

Both are up to date

[languid spoke]

Fuchuo V's address

[haughty panther]

Thanks ^_^

[static pike]

hi try grand tour i am on mostly frozen planet i did photo mode and is not working?

[shut plank]

Problem solved, maximum save files exceeded (Switch NMS limitation), deleted old unused save file resolve the crash.

[languid spoke]

what gaming system are you on?

[static pike]

ps5

[remote thunder]

Consoles: enter photo mode, press the Xbox or the Create button on the controller, take/save screenshot.

[static pike]

i did

not worked

[remote thunder]

what resources does planet have on resource list, start at the top

and are you inside atmosphere

[static pike]

frozen sodium dioxite activated copper weather is deep freeze sentinel freq flora full fauna sparse

[remote thunder]

Phase 3: Grand Tour: Can be done entirely in Rdv2 system (Suurazumi); look for any planet with Solanium, a planet with Rusted Metal, and a Planet with Frost Crystal on their individual resource lists. Fly to it, once inside atmosphere open photo mode via quick menu (defaults: X on keyboard, dpad down), and grab screenshot, wait for notification, exit photo mode. Consoles: enter photo mode, press the Xbox or the Create button on the controller, take/save screenshot.

and a Planet with Frost Crystal

@static pike see above

[robust atlas]

Great

Could be mentioned somewhere in the menu in the first place 😄

[remote thunder]

every platform should be limited to 15 saves side by side

some switches seem to limit at 10

[shut plank]

Think it's 7 only now, cause I have the following

Normal Primary
PermaDeath Primary
Expedition 12
Expedition 13
Expedition 14
Expedition 15
Expedition 16

Starting tbe Expedition 2 Redux crashes after initialization complete

[static pike]

idk where suurazumi is i check yt

[remote thunder]

rendezvous 2 - been there already or

i've never heard of such a limit - try creating a non-exp save

crashes?

[shut plank]

Just test, yup, crashed. Save file limit exceeded. So, is 7 max for Switch.

[remote thunder]

it's -- for you

ig this is most likely not about nr save file limit, but about save file size

i've seen several switch users with the ability to go up to 15 saves, just like any other platform

raise the concern

[shut plank]

Ok, will do that.

[latent forum]

If I add the Normandy to my frigate on the expedition will I lose it on my main save?

Its not a new save

[misty plinth]

No you do not lose it on the main save

[latent forum]

Okay thanks

[misty plinth]

If you loaded in to the expedition from a main save and earn the frigate - when you go back to primary you will just have to pick it up (claim it) again. Assuming you don't already have one on that save.

[stuck remnant]

Is this Normandy expedition the same as the first one ?

[remote thunder]

in terms of rewards, not exactly

see pinned post

[latent forum]

What if I have the max amount of frigates on my main?

[stuck remnant]

Thanks

[remote thunder]

unable to claim it iirc - don't recommend trying to claim it without making sure that you have at least 1 available spot

[latent forum]

Well shit

[misty plinth]

IMO it is very much worth the time and effort

[remote thunder]

just dump a combat or exploration frig if you have any of either

[latent forum]

I can just return to my save right dump one and go back?

[misty plinth]

You don't even have to go back into the expedition to claim it on the primary save. Just make sure you have a fleet slot open before claiming it at the Anomaly.

[remote thunder]

just claim the reward in exp to unlock it account wide, save

whatever else you do from that point on, doesn't matter

you can claim it in any save under the same account, once per save

see it here? quicksilver shop, collect expedition rewards

[rapid elm]

am i the only one experiencing eternal loading screen when i try n load up the game

[remote thunder]

go offline i.e. turn off/block game off internet

try again

or just wait

[rapid elm]

usually just restarting the game fixes it

[remote thunder]

long load times can be expected when warping into populated systems

[rapid elm]

but uhhh

[remote thunder]

especially if multiplayer is on, and internet is on

[rapid elm]

i've reloaded like 3 times now

[remote thunder]

well.

[brave echo]

How often do mold balls respawn?

[rapid elm]

i never play with multiplayer on

[remote thunder]

i do recommend you take my advice

multiplayer off doesn't block off game from downloading uploaded player bases

[rapid elm]

hrm

[remote thunder]

move 600-700u away, return - if you didn't mess with terrain or built anything below them, they'll have respawned just like that

we've seen 10+ minutes of loading times when warping/teleporting to populated systems iow systems with lots of other uploaded player bases

"turning off internet" aka truly offline eliminates that: game cannot connect to server to download other player bases to begin with, making it rely only on local game data, loading times near instant by comparison

(can also just logon offline, if platform allows it)

[ashen marsh]

I now have to send frigates on expeditions but i havent unlocked the plans for frigate fuel what do i do?

[wicked obsidian]

Build the fleet control room, interact with the console, and then you will get the plans

[ashen marsh]

I did but it didnt give me anything

[wicked obsidian]

The console in the room you built

[ashen marsh]

Yes i know

[remote thunder]

interact with fleet management console -> talk to navigator -> go build 1 fleet command room -> interact with fleet command room to download data

[wicked obsidian]

Ok, then go to the freighter upgrade panel, and unlock frigate fuel with salvaged frigate data

[remote thunder]

@ashen marsh select fleet command mission in mission Log

make sure you have that selected.

[ashen marsh]

Turns out for whatever reason i had placed an extra command room outside of the build area somehow which was causing an issue

[remote thunder]

never build too close to the bridge

aim carefully

[rocky fern]

Is this entire Expedition buggy as hell? Everything I try to do is wonky.

[remote thunder]

went start to finish, no bugs to report whatsoever

multiplayer always disabled

[wicked obsidian]

I just finished phase 4!

[rocky fern]

really?

[remote thunder]

pc steam, linux 6.12-rc6

indeed

[wicked obsidian]

I have had no bugs so far, PS4

[rocky fern]

I've had to start over twice now on PC.

[wicked obsidian]

That sucks

[remote thunder]

define "wonky"

[rocky fern]

the first thing I noticed is that movement seems... different

[wicked obsidian]

What do you mean?

[remote thunder]

1. quit game, steam library, right click nms, properties, installed files, verify; try again

[rocky fern]

then when I bought a new Freighter, it kept generating rooms and breaking

yeah, files are all fine

[wicked obsidian]

Oh the Rendezvous 5 planet is very pretty

[remote thunder]

sounds like it was having issues with current freighter base layout getting migrated over

i didn't get a new freighter - what for i thought

unable to confirm

i certainly didn't have any issues with the entire expedition

clean, as smooth as one could ask for

devs are getting pretty good at this if you ask me

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[remote thunder]

make sure you're running fully updated gpu drivers, both integrated and discrete if you have both, the works

sfc /scannow, etc

[true meteor]

It really is!

[wicked obsidian]

I put a base down ~1000 u away from the Rendezvous so i could reach a portal easily from it lol

[solar lagoon]

I've come across a futigive starship but I cannot shoot it?

[wicked obsidian]

😦

A freighter came out of hyperspace and hit me

I was flung across the system

[true meteor]

I intend on using other people's bases when I want to visit.

[wicked obsidian]

Fair

[true meteor]

Whoa! I did not know that was a possibility.

[wicked obsidian]

It took me 5 minutes but i got to a point where i can see planets again!

[wicked obsidian]

Me neither

I finaly got back to the space station!

[true meteor]

Did you mine any far away asteroids or use anomaly detectors to make the trip back more fun?

[wicked obsidian]

…there were no asteroids, it was just empty void

(I forgot about anomaly detectors)

[true meteor]

Did you take any photos?

[wicked obsidian]

Of what, a black void outside of my cockpit?

[remote thunder]

i guess no pretty nebula in that skybox

[wicked obsidian]

Yeah, nothing pretty

[true meteor]

Yeah! Usually you see planets or asteroids.

[wicked obsidian]

I was so far away that there was nothing to see besides navigation markers

[true meteor]

Exactly, an interesting experience.

[hollow shore]

Be careful doing that, it will start to get glitchy eventually. Try to stay within reach of the planets. No point going out all that far

[wicked obsidian]

…#nms-expedition message

[hollow shore]

There will not be any spawns that far out, so I doubt the event you describe there was part of the glitchyness I am referring to

[wicked obsidian]

No that was what sent me that far out

[hollow shore]

Ah ok

[karmic current]

How do you do the 8 systems discovery?

[stone sand]

I have a question please , im on a hot planet, and i took a picture, from outside, on it, on the ship etc , and nothing is making the challenge done. is there anything specific that need to be done ? thanks !

[lusty slate]

Did you use the in-game photo mode to take it?

[stone sand]

yes 😄

tried to take it from my phone also it dosnt work 😛

[cold tulip]

What is the biome?

[stone sand]

its in french so its planete brulante

so you can translate it blazing planet i guess?

[wicked obsidian]

I just beat the expedition!!!

[cold tulip]

What are the resources?

[stone sand]

solanium activate copper, phosphor

[digital oriole]

Game didn't give me fuel or ways to craft it, how am I supposed to do the frigate expedition?

[pine flint]

Build command room

What is that call

For expedition

[hollow shore]

Check the terminals on the bridge. You can unlock fuel at one of them

[cold tulip]

The command room will give em for free

[pine flint]

Yea that one

[stone sand]

i just spammed the picture button and it worked..

[digital oriole]

Am I suppose to do all 3 fleet expedition with one frigate?

[wraith junco]

U can but dont need to.

[digital oriole]

There are no other frigate I can buy

[hollow shore]

You can fly around in systems looking for freighters to spawn in, those will come with a couple of frigates for hire

And a quick tip for quick completion, the fleet you send away, does not require to succeed for the expedition to count.

[wintry void]

cant you still cancel the frigate expedition to complete it?

[hollow shore]

That's what I meant to say. You can have them return (cancel) from unfinished business, still counting towards the milestone

[peak creek]

Hi all, I’ve never doing some social activities with other players (expeditions or nexus missions). Should you advice me to finish main story first ?

[karmic current]

Said it before I'll say it again expeditions are goated had fun other then the 5 ice fish

[wintry void]

I find expeditions sometimes show a new mechanic or an alternative way of playing, such as using the freighter only to warp between systems

[dusky oracle]

anyone has difficulty building double cultivate room in their freighter because of lack of faecium, please visit my faecium_farm base

[swift crane]

You don't have to use only freighter

[wintry void]

You used to in original version, unless im thinking Polestar

[karmic current]

Yeah totally totally

I didn't just copy my really good ship from my main save lol

[edgy badge]

On the Fallen Giants goal where I investigate a crashed freighter site and it wants captains log but can't access the globe thing and didn't find anything in the cargo hull, help?

[wintry void]

find another freighter, you have to interact with the globe thing

[edgy badge]

that's what I was thinking, tnx

[wintry void]

I just landed, exited ship and interacted with globe, nothing else

[dense echo]

Its my first expedition. Will I have every item, nanites and cash from it on my main save after I finish it?

[wintry void]

If you still have issues, exit ship at freighter crash site to make a save, and try reloading save then interacting with it

[edgy badge]

yeah I hit another map and that freighter came through with a readable log tnx again

[muted granite]

Nanites and cash, yes; items/tech only through the items/tech slots in the expedition terminal — and that only goes to your main save if you launched the expedition from the exped terminal on your main save. If you started a fresh save for the expedition, then it turns into a separate save upon completion.

[fringe sierra]

Just kill fauna and refine mordite into facium

3:1 so 75 mordite for the 25 facium

[fringe sierra]

^^^ Ofc I didn't hit the reply

I'm on switch for this run and I don't always have wifi so had to figure another route

[indigo falcon]

you can feed fauna by dropping one creature pellet in their midst (if you have the recipe) and then waiting to collect up faecium

[fringe sierra]

I tried lol I got frustrated waiting for it too make boom boom

[teal socket]

or shoot a few animals and convert the mortem (spelling) into faecium

[fringe sierra]

Lol what I just said further up

[indigo falcon]

eh while you wait you can be scanning plants for that milestone or something

[fringe sierra]

Need 75 mordite to get 25 dookies

[teal socket]

ah, sorry. just a quick read

[fringe sierra]

Lol I had that and like 10 other milestones done. I wasn't waiting forever

[fringe sierra]

Ur good lol

🤣 🤣 🤣

[dense echo]

Okay, thanks

[ashen marsh]

Turns out theres an s class rifle in the space station of the first system

[karmic whale]

pistol by default - depends on the planet you're on when you reload

[ashen marsh]

Yeah i know i think i reloaded on the planet without an atmosphere

[karmic whale]

nice experimental MT when it's one of the planets

well, at least one

[wintry void]

Which reminds me, i dont suppose anone knows the mining bonus on the pistol/experimental variants of the above MT? Looking for a decent Pre-Atlantid mining MT

[turbid moon]

your character needs to work on his posture

idk thats the first thing that came to mind

[wise meteor]

For expedition two I put a few basic things in the loadout.. Just carbon, oxygen some ferrite dust etc. But I cannot summon the anomoly it seems. Did I waste my time setting up the loadout?

[solemn bane]

I loathe fishing so much I almost hacked the json to change the milestone to a sentinel hunting one, lol.

Can't even use fishing traps to complete it 😩

[digital oriole]

Yay, I got the Normandy now :D

[languid spoke]

you should be able to call the anomaly after the first jump

[wise meteor]

In the freighter?

[languid spoke]

yeah

[wise meteor]

thx

[rapid elm]

i can't find what this mission wants me to get

One Man's Treasure

no clue what it wants

[weary badge]

on planet, scan for burried cache dig up x 3

Alien Pistol Variant of Start System Station Box, Save and Reload on Zawa 32/Z6 Windswept Planet

[severe inlet]

Fishing quest in the Normandy expedition...
"Frozen planet" is found at the 2nd rendezvous system. Meaning not the actual planet where the rendezvous is.
It took about 30 throws to get the 5 uncommon fish that were required. Uncommon means when you catch them it says "uncommon" and the title background is blue instead of green (which is common). However...the catch must say that it only resides in cold climates.
I used mealworms as bait.

[dire nexus]

What should I do if the Myth Beacon isn't showing up in the Quicksilver shop? I've checked every tab and it's not there.

[blazing fossil]

It’s under ”other curiosities” tab

[dire nexus]

it's not there.

[blazing fossil]

Thats expedition rewards tab

You want the quicksilver shop tab

[dire nexus]

...oh

thank you

[lusty slate]

I've been lowkey disappointed with the expedition QS payout since Omega. Omega spoiled me.

[remote thunder]

that was one worth doing multiple runs for, no doubt

[lusty slate]

If they don't nerf it for the redux, I'll run it again just for that.

I do understand objectively why the QS rewards were so high. Enticement. It was the free weekend expedition and so they gave you the means to purchase more cosmetics than usual to showcase it.

[indigo falcon]

I did not do it when it came around the first time, so I'll try to squeeze it in during the redux, time permitting of course. Not really for the QS, but the staff is nice looking, even if everyone and their gek relative is using it

[remote thunder]

don't fancy runner?

[lusty slate]

Oh, the staff is great. It's my alternate combat MT.

[indigo falcon]

I mean it's nice enough, I feel like we have so many ships these days, and I still really only use a couple

[remote thunder]

i do get it

[indigo falcon]

and sentinel ships are easy to come by if you want that hover capability

[frozen sequoia]

question about the expeditions, I noticed it kind of.. merged with my main save when I started it from the Anomaly, I wont lose the save I had, right? This is my first time doing an expedition so sorry if that is a stupid question

[remote thunder]

no stupid questions

[remote thunder]

I wont lose the save I had, right?
right

[indigo falcon]

(hg missed the boat on the ufo ship by not giving it hover, that would have been :chef's kiss:)

[remote thunder]

runner didn't have it at first either

i know, runner doesn't have a landing gear

one can hope

[lusty slate]

I'm honestly getting tired of unique expedition ships. A new one once a year is cool, but we had THREE this year

[frozen sequoia]

thank you for claryfying!

[lusty slate]

• ship fabrication introduced. Like, guys

[remote thunder]

always feel free to ask

[indigo falcon]

when you end the expedition which you started via the anomaly from an existing save, you'll get the option to send back tech and materials to the existing save at the anomaly terminal. after that, all items and units on the expd version of the save are converted to units/nanites; then all nanites, units, quicksilver are transfered to the existing save; then that save is the one that remains, as before you started but somewhat richer 🙂

so no save destruction.

[indigo falcon]

wouldn't say no to a few more ship slots tbh

[lusty slate]

At least add 3 more. Same with MT.

[ripe pelican]

Chat this is my first expedition and it says 10 days remaining.
I ideally want to get the ship but with no experience i dont know if the time is enough.
I have an older save so i plan on cheating by transfering stuff in that loadout thing like the advanced mining laser and probably a lot of carbon and ferrite?
How many hours of playtime is it to the end?

[frozen sequoia]

How much of what I earn of the expedition will be carried over exactly?

[indigo falcon]

it's going to vary based on player experience but this is one of the quicker ones. if you read the tips in here, check milestones and do them in a good order, and don't get too distracted, you'll get done in a matter of hours instead of days

[indigo falcon]

#nms-expedition message

(sorry I did not post that as an actual reply, my bad)

[ripe pelican]

i appreciate it i'll do my best to focus on the milestones then

[indigo falcon]

there are guides out there already that tell you how to do it in 2 hours (but you would really be zipping along)

[muted granite]

Depends on how efficient you are. Most expeditions can be done in under five hours, or leisurely toward ten.

Bring twenty or so wiring looms. And a Mk2 refiner is never bad, maybe a stack of oxygen for boosting refining recipes. That’s it. You’re pretty stacked right from the beginning with exosuit and multitool modules otherwise.

Oh, bring stuff to sell - there’s a 7.5m S-class multitool in starter station cabinets, experimental rifle.

[trim marsh]

So what maps should I buy for the crashed freighter

[indigo falcon]

is that 'fallen giants'? if so, see the tips post in the pins for that

(and hey, read the pin anyways, lotta good info in there)

[ripe pelican]

oh god thats actually really smart thanks!

[trim marsh]

Got it thanks man

[alpine pond]

Can someone explain what I’m missing while trying to find rendezvous 5 ? it just has me warping to countless galaxies. Only been playing for a couple weeks and I can’t find an answer anywhere. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

[grim vortex]

How do I know if I'm doing this correctly? I visited two alien artifact sites and collected the data for Nada, but nothing is incrementing or changing or advancing.

[grim vortex]

If you have the mission selected, you should see lines in your galaxy map defining the path to the Rendezvous point. If you went thoguh a black hole easier in the expedition, you may be quite a ways away.

You might wanto to use a teleporter to go back to one of the space stations from earlier in your save, which should be closer to the path./

[indigo falcon]

go to three, and I think that's enough.

[alpine pond]

No haven’t gone thru a black hole but I’ve warped 30 times or so by now. I’ll go back and see if it helps. Thx

[indigo falcon]

yep, make sure you have the mission pinned when you start out from the r4 space station and it should only be a few hops

[alpine pond]

Ok thanks, I have it pinned. I’ll try that

[indigo falcon]

(andin the galaxy map, have "current mission" selected)

[brave echo]

Do I need to unlock Frigate fuel or will an objective unlock it for me?

[muted granite]

Interact with the frigate command terminal once you build it on your freighter. First interaction will unlock fuel recipes.

Also, fwiw, I’m a big fan of your work Spider-man, big fan. Thanks for keeping our cities safe.

[frozen sequoia]

whats the best way of doing the fleet expeditions task?

[fringe sierra]

Ok I have to be missing something.

How do I find the myth beacon.

Do I just keep using dosimeter untill it's triggers it or should I be doing language and history now

[fringe sierra]

Start
Abort
Debrief
Repeat

[frozen sequoia]

oh its that easy?

[fringe sierra]

Yea

[hollow shore]

Purchase a few frigates, get the rooms for fleets placed in the Freighter, make sure you have the fuel. Then interact with the Fleet Commander to prepare the missions and assign frigates. If you insist on having them complete those missions, make sure you assign enough and mixed to cover the rating with at least a star higher.

And yes, as said, you can do it quick and have them not complete to count as well.

[fringe sierra]

@hollow shore have u gotten the myth beacon

[hollow shore]

No, I have not yet played it this time around.

Why are you asking though?

[fringe sierra]

Crap

[fringe sierra]

This

[frozen sequoia]

hmm, where could i buy more of them easily? and how much ight they cost then

[silent knot]

the myth beacon is bought from the quicksilver synthesis companion at the anomaly

under other curiosities

[supple sedge]

or just choose short missions and get those extra rewards

[hollow shore]

Phase 5 milestone?

[fringe sierra]

Does it tell u to buy it. I swear I wasn't informed jack diddly

[indigo falcon]

you did three dosimeter uses? now go to the anomaly and buy the beacon from the qs vendor, have the milestone pinned, that's all

[fringe sierra]

Yes

[indigo falcon]

it's a bit non intuitive

[grim vortex]

How do you know when it's available? I've done four alien artifact sites and I can't see any way to know if I'm progressing

[turbid moon]

can someone explain what acquire a myth beacon is. i read the pin and its confusing.

[fringe sierra]

Lol I've done 5 lioe... maybe if I keep going it'll trigger

[indigo falcon]

should be after three readings for nada/polo

[fringe sierra]

@turbid moon

[indigo falcon]

don't wait for it to trigger, just go buy anyways

[hollow shore]

I see it was answered already. Should be able to move on now

[fringe sierra]

O no im saying I didn't know I had to buy it. I was just going around like maybe a specific ruin will have the option or something lmao idfk

[indigo falcon]

yep it's not exactly clear in the game

[fringe sierra]

Just to save a trip from wasting it.

Do I need to use it at an artifact site or just out in space

[indigo falcon]

you use it at a very specific location, you need to have the milestone pinned

it will direct you

[fringe sierra]

So don't deploy yet got it

[grim vortex]

So, in my regular save, how do I collect the expedition rewards? I didn't start the exp from the main save, I started a new one

[indigo falcon]

go to the quicksilver vendor and check 'claim rewards from expedition'

you can claim each of those rewards once on any existing or new save

[whole pumice]

is there an expedition every 2 weeks interval?

[turbid moon]

[remote thunder]

@fringe sierra you got it?

[fringe sierra]

Yea

[remote thunder]

not sure, but reruns are usually back to back

[fringe sierra]

I had to deploy it for that icon to appear

Or attempt to idk

[remote thunder]

this icon is visible long before you use myth beacon

[fringe sierra]

Lol it wasn't on my screen idk

[remote thunder]

it's the marker visible after warping to the targeted system by collective consciousness

[fringe sierra]

Yea. That marker was there but in the system I couldn't see it

[turbid moon]

finally finished

[remote thunder]

sometimes they're not easy to see if there's lots of other markers in system, sometimes it's a matter of reselecting the milestone after selecting a diff one

[remote thunder]

congrats 🙂

[turbid moon]

[tiny gale]

what is up with every base i come across not having power

[fringe sierra]

Alright run 1 done

2 more to do

Wife is gunna be completing her switch run by herself today.

First expedition she's doing and first time she's playing really. So im stoked

[remote thunder]

possibly a thing specific to uploaded bases in expedition? don't think all of them would be using solar panels, and that you're only visiting bases in night time

[remote thunder]

congrats 🙂 have fun

[tiny gale]

im currently at one with electromagnetic though

[remote thunder]

yeah - and nothing around has power?

[tiny gale]

correct

[remote thunder]

sounds like a bug, players wouldn't upload stuff not working nicely i don't think

try to save+reload maybe

[trim marsh]

Iv been fishing for ice fish for so long iv run out of bait so now I'm using the fish iv been catching as bait

[remote thunder]

try mealworms instead: needs condensed carbon to craft

[trim marsh]

Iv gotten 2 s class fish before 5 ice fish

[remote thunder]

my experience:

• tried for 10 min without mealworms, got 1 valid fish (uncommon+icy/frozen waters in description)
• tried with mealworms, got 4 in a row out of 7 tries

fwiw

[trim marsh]

I was having more luck using ice fish to get ice fish

[severe inlet]

My experience, I used mealworms - around 32 of them before I got my 5 fish.

granted I casted in pretty shallow water

[remote thunder]

so did i

7-10u deep

depth doesn't matter for this afaik

[severe inlet]

Alright that's good

[fringe sierra]

Lol I caught 3 of mine in 0.2u deep..... this this was a puddle

[remote thunder]

😄

[severe inlet]

It comes down to RNG?

[remote thunder]

.2u is indeed a puddle - fish were probably swimming above water

[remote thunder]

definitely

[fringe sierra]

Lol

[severe inlet]

I don't mind fishing here, I think it's ....chill

[unkempt kraken]

@severe inlet

No gifs in this channel please

[severe inlet]

🥁

[fringe sierra]

Facts

[remote thunder]

i love the music they added

[severe inlet]

There's music?! I need to check this out

Oh yeah! Atmospheric ambient music is such a mood

[tiny gale]

if you start a new character with expedition first, can you stay in the same systems for main story

[severe inlet]

That's how I understand it

[remote thunder]

sure

[severe inlet]

Great boost for new players

[remote thunder]

ofc, you got no real control which systems it will actually pick for quest locations but

you'd be in the general area, yes

[fringe sierra]

Ok so.... how does one go back and fourth to bring multiple loads of items. And stuff back

I'm assuming if I hit end expedition I can't come back to get more

[remote thunder]

goto exp terminus exp side; add items to stash; save; pause/options/return to primary; goto anomaly primary save side, take items out of ship stash/copy ship+MT if you want. save. pause/options/resume expedition. repeat as many times as you need to

[fringe sierra]

Save happens automatically after leaving exp terminal yes

Or should I hop in n out of my ship to be safe

[remote thunder]

nah, when i mean save, i mean enter+exit ship i.e. update restore point

[fringe sierra]

Ok

Ofc it has to be the FURTHEST AWAY spot possible

[remote thunder]

i always disable multiplayer for this kind of sensitive operations

[fringe sierra]

I'm on switch.

Specifically oled version. And idk y but mine and my wifes oled models..... idk... don't like staying on my wifi

So its rare I have online services on at all.

On this one

Our pc versions would be different ofcourse

[remote thunder]

yeah

[fringe sierra]

Lol I've called nintendo I've called my isp and everyone says it's the others fault cause there stuff is working "properly"...... clearly not

But thank bk

[faint pelican]

I have a question regarding the frigate and freighter in expedition. I know it’s random but on one of my run through (both from existing saves) I had an S Class frigate from the start of the expedition. Other run through was a C Class. My question is if I start from a fresh save and manage to get lucky enough to get an S Class frigate and let that save convert after expedition, will I get to keep the freighter and frigates with that save along with all the stuff ai have earned during expedition, blueprints, Minotaur etc? Making this expedition and good one to start fresh from and convert.

[muted granite]

How much does an S-class MT cost to copy over to main save?

[sage star]

Hello! Under which conditions can i catch the correct fishes for Icy Veins?
I am currently fishing on a planet called "Aaki 52/U2" at Rendevouz 2 and cold hazard protection is on. But i already fished more than 15 fishes and got 0 which are used for Icy Veins...
I even got an legendary dragon fish

[remote thunder]

My question is if I start from a fresh save and manage to get lucky enough to get an S Class frigate and let that save convert after expedition, will I get to keep the freighter and frigates with that save along with all the stuff ai have earned during expedition, blueprints, Minotaur etc?
yes

[remote thunder]

bout 3k iirc, depends on how many tech slots it has

[faint pelican]

Thank you. I have tried starting fresh several times and all C Class frigates, so maybe that was a complete unicorn of a start. lol

[remote thunder]

fishing is just rng, relax, probably not doing anything wrong - but i would recommend using rarity bait e.g mealworms. i caught all of mine on that exact planet. remember, uncommon+"icy/frozen waters" in description.

[sage star]

Oh yeah baits! I completely forgot them...

Thank you very much!

[remote thunder]

frigates class upgrade with more and more completed expeditions, as they get up to 5 positive traits, at which point they become s-class

[woven shadow]

What’s a good planet to go to to catch cold-water fish?

[remote thunder]

see pinned post <#nms-expedition message>

[woven shadow]

If I can get my game to stop crashing.

[remote thunder]

disable mp if you havent yet

[faint pelican]

Thank you for that information. You are always so helpful here. Appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge.

[remote thunder]

anytime 🙂

[quartz pawn]

Why did the expedition ended way faster than other expeditions?
I did not get to finish 😩😭

[wintry void]

Which expedition?

[remote thunder]

first time they ever did 5 new expeditions in one year

but yeah, exp16 only ran for 2w

that said probably getting rerun later this year @quartz pawn

[wintry void]

2 weeks is plenty though, I did 4 times

[muted wave]

how do i complet the ancient ruin one, i found a ruin but its not completing

[wintry void]

make sure the objective is highlighted in expedition and log and "talk" to the circle/dialogue thing

[quartz pawn]

Expedition 16

[quartz pawn]

“Normally” expedition goes for 2-3 months but this last expedition ended way faster

[wintry void]

Yer but when it started, it was always two weeks long, not as if they said like 4 weeks then after 2 weeks they ended it. I think most expeditions are at most 4 to 6 weeks. Expeditions only take 4 to 6 hours, so plenty time to complete in 2 weeks

Current expedition is only 2 weeks also, and the further Redux ones will probably be 2 weeks

[versed mantle]

I have now done 16 of the milestones without having warped once
Still refining a bunch of nanites for the 17th but I think I have to warp to do all the others

[lusty slate]

Nice!

It's a fun challenge, to see how far you can get before warping. I got bored and wanted my stuff from the Anomaly tho lol

[versed mantle]

Oh yeah I'm pretty sure half the stuff I put in the anomaly is no longer relevant lol

[lusty slate]

Same. I took a bunch of resources that I wound up just leaving in there.

I always "overpack" for expeditions.

[versed mantle]

I always underpack and then whenever I go "I had an awful time in the last expedition because I didn't have enough survival resources, I should bring more this time" I never end up using any of it

It's the "it only rains when you don't have an umbrella" problem

I actually have 17 missions done now because I missed the one for constructing a teleport chamber, so nanites will be the 18th

[frank bloom]

So the expedition is asking for frigate fuel, but you can’t make any/the save doesn’t give you the plans. Other than piracy, what else can I do?

Clean expedition and took nothing with me (more fun)

[lusty slate]

You have to unlock the blueprint on the freighter itself. Terminal next to the frigate mission NPC. You'll need 1 salvaged frigate module.

[frank bloom]

Gotcha, I knew I forgot something

Thanks!

[remote thunder]

i unlocked them from freighter command mission

@frank bloom ^

fwiw

[frank bloom]

They’re correct actually and there’s no mission in expedition 2 that unlocks them for you

[remote thunder]

i've unlocked them the very same way i always do when i get a new freighter basically, except it happens later on after actually owning the freighter

when you get to the fleet expeditions milestone, it will force you to build fleet command room, but there will be a freighter command secondary mission on missoin Log at that point

[frank bloom]

You’re also correct

I didn’t inspect the room

Either way both of you are right with how that works

[remote thunder]

don't have to unlock them with sfm though, just wanted to make sure that was clear that it was still possible

[lusty slate]

Thanks, BK.

[frank bloom]

Sucks I have to wait 2 hours for that mission to complete, but hey

[remote thunder]

you don't actually

[frank bloom]

Needs 3 missions total

[remote thunder]

it registers "end expedition button pressed" as complete

[lusty slate]

Abort mission + debrief counts as completion

[frank bloom]

And sure as darn yes it does

Here I thought I’d have to resort to piracy and kill everything

Oh darn

[nimble carbon]

Hmm, are we considering "Anomalous Research" bugged? It asked me to do Dosimeter readings 3 times, and now I am up to 15 and it is not completed yet.

[lusty slate]

Finally got around to kicking a B class combat frigate for the Normandy. Better play nice with the pirate frigates.

[frank bloom]

My fleet would make the Normandy crew have flashbacks

But it’s the SR1… so maybe not yet

[nimble carbon]

I found I had to inspect the Control Room I built to progress the miniquest to learn the frigate fuel plans.

[lusty slate]

Yeah, I didn't bother to pay attention to the milestone prompts.

[nimble carbon]

Hmm, the 3/3 Dosimeter turns out to be the completion of "Historiagraphy Lesson" , while "Collective Consciousness" (Acquire the Myth Beacon) says to complete subquest "Anomalous Research" but it does not have any kind of progress indicator, just says to keep sending Dosimeter data. So of my 15 so far, 3 were for the Historiagraphy Lesson and I've done 12 more... I checked the QS vendor and saw no Myth Beacon available, so I guess I just have to keep grinding... Each Dosimeter reading gives 15 quicksilver, and I think we need 300 for the Myth Beacon, so maybe it takes 20 readings?

Except I have 2660 QS already 🤣

Mind you, each reading is giving unique lore (so far anyway), so maybe that is part of the fun...

[shut nest]

I was a tad worried that I'd never get another chance at getting the Normandy, very glad it came back.

Took a little under 6 hours to get it done too

[nimble carbon]

In my case, my saves got damaged somehow ina Steam Cloud bug event, and some of the credit for past Expeditions was lost. So no more Normandy nor Dosimeter, looking forward to having them back. (Dosimeter as a trophy, really 😉 )

[shut nest]

Yush ^^

[nimble carbon]

Too bad we can't build trophy cases to display old Expedition rewards in 😉

[wraith junco]

Exp1 has nice trophy base part.

[nimble carbon]

🤦 OK, I looked again at the QuickSilver vendor, and found the Myth Beacon, so it does not document when it unlocks. (Mind you, this could be from the last two times I did Expedition 2 🤣 ). It only takes 80 QS, which at 15 per reading must have taken only 6 readings to afford...

And sure enough, buying the Myth Beacon does complete "Collective Unconciousness", but "Anomalous Research" is not completed and just says to keep doing Dosimeter readings, but now says "Tier 1 complete" so I guess it is doing community research a nibble at a time. 🤣

[nimble carbon]

Yah, I treat the Dosimeter as a trophy, but can't build it in a base, just inventory.

Bang on the money! When the unlock happens, nothing is shown to us. I went back to look at the QS vendor and finally found the part as suggested, and that progressed the quest. Many thanks!

[wide steeple]

Where do I find an airless planet

[remote thunder]

any planet with rusted metal on resource list; rdv2 system has such a planet

@nimble carbon i just went by what this hint told me to do

fwiw

[somber lotus]

bk201 are you like a bot?

[remote thunder]

nope 🙂

[somber lotus]

You just

[nimble carbon]

Yup: mine never said that. So, looks like for some folks it is bugged. My hint just said to do the subquest that said do more Dosimeter readings.

[somber lotus]

Work for them or something?

[remote thunder]

nope, just a player like you i assume

[somber lotus]

So what do you do all days

[frozen laurel]

answer questions like a boss

[remote thunder]

i have fun helping people and playing games and listen to music mostly

also go out sometimes

[somber lotus]

For a second I thought you were 21+ 💀

[nimble carbon]

Lol, now my ship refuses to land on the Myth Beacon planet. 🤣

Hoping one of these bases loading in has a Landing Pad 🤣

[remote thunder]

some people had problems with that - any bases nearby?

what ship are you using? some people reported some of that with boundary herald

[spare parrot]

Where is the myth beacon planet? Did I break myself by diving into wormholes?

[nimble carbon]

Many many bases nearby, looking for a pad.

[remote thunder]

i don't think it's the same for everyone else, or needs to be for that matter

[nimble carbon]

I'm using the Iron <whatever> (I rename it Iron Spouse all the time, used it for the last 3 Expeditions 🤣)

[remote thunder]

but teleport back to expedition route, last rdv system you visited station

[spare parrot]

Cuz mine has me traveling super far

But I’ll hop back that way

[remote thunder]

pause, mission Log tab, is there a restart using nearby structures button lower right?

[nimble carbon]

Not sure about that, this planet definitely has been gang-visited 😉

[remote thunder]

hmm try landing further away from the approx mission location marker maybe

[nimble carbon]

Yay, found a Landing Pad in a base. Oh, and I am pretty sure I saw the final POI for the placement... Lotta Comm Stations over there 😉

[spare parrot]

Logged off because of baby aggro haha

[remote thunder]

probably something to do with those if i had to guess

cool, good to know

so that means that indeed it isn't the same for everyone as i suspected above

[frank bloom]

Expedition complete. Another one for my role list

[nimble carbon]

Lol, some of us players are overachievers: huge floating base above the target destination (at least my target destination 🤣)

[frank bloom]

Thanks all for the help

[remote thunder]

congrats!

[nimble carbon]

My bad, deleted the message since it is a spoiler (it turns out): that was the final POI, but there are multiple ones nearby so I confused them once landed. Lol, I likely will find another instance and build my final Myth Beacon base there before completing the Expedition...

Lots of us have built bases really near this final POI.

[remote thunder]

ah okay

so same POI so far, possibly not the same location

(possibly depending on where collective counsciousness is triggered/anomaly is summoned at)

[nimble carbon]

Third time doing Expedition 2, still find that flyby beautiful... (lol first time ever, it was so lagged I actually got in my ship and was flying alongside when it appeared 🤣)

Yay, E2R2 complete! (having previous done E2 and E2R1 😉 )

[remote thunder]

😄 same

[nimble carbon]

That should mark my missing Expedition credit repaired, phew!

[remote thunder]

😌

finally heh

[nimble carbon]

I need to redo I think Expedition 7 also for similar reasons.

[remote thunder]

oh

[nimble carbon]

Only some of the credit is missing, not all. (The damaged save file is weirdly damaged 🤣)

Only way to tell is the QS vendor tells me which phases in which expeditions are missing, but it is very hit and miss damage.

Only one missing from E2 was the Dosimeter itself I believe (E2 Phase 5)

[harsh nymph]

Are there any Faecium farms along the Expedition route?

[remote thunder]

just drop a creature pellet on the ground

wait for animals to poop

or kill fauna and refine mordite

@harsh nymph ^

[wide steeple]

How do I get more ships on my fleet to send them on expeditions at the same time

I need 3 of them done

[remote thunder]

check this pinned post, phase 3: <#nms-expedition message>

[wide steeple]

Thanks I would have wasted a lot of time if I didn't do this lol

[remote thunder]

there's still plenty of time to finish

[muted granite]

Along with the other options, there’s also dihydrogen refined together with carbon.

[spare parrot]

Was able to get it. Thank you guys! Time to paragon interrupt a mess of missions

[wide steeple]

You can kill animals and cook the mordite

wait will I need a lot of it later on

[remote thunder]

nah

like 50-100

i don't even recall how much

some low amount

[wide steeple]

HOW do I finish the signs to nowwhere mission

Phase 3

[remote thunder]

interact with these

[wide steeple]

If I fly around on my ship while scanning I can find them?

[remote thunder]

yep

could also use 6 secure charts

[wide steeple]

I'm gonna get the charts lol

[remote thunder]

use them all, ignore depot marker, spam use through any errors till it consumes chart

[wide steeple]

Spam them all on 1 planet

?

[remote thunder]

in the same system, i prefer doing it on the same planet while flying my ship

[remote thunder]

use 3 charts, clear non-depot markers, use 2 more

[stray needle]

how do I do the discover 8 systems milestone?

[remote thunder]

it won't let you spam them all sorry, temp confused them with commercial charts

[remote thunder]

check this pinned post <#nms-expedition message>

[wide steeple]

Uh what is the chart called exactly

I'm at the station

[remote thunder]

secure/secret

green marker

[wide steeple]

Ah thanks

[remote thunder]

while on the way to those non-depot markers secure charts will add, keep your eyes open for any others/keep spamming quick scan!

doesnt cost a thing either

[wide steeple]

What do depot markers look like

The ones I have to ignore

[remote thunder]

aim at a marker after it gets added

it will say what it is below it

[wide steeple]

Alr

[ripe pelican]

wait the normandy isnt a freighter???

[bleak turret]

how do i do this?

i speak to them and then nothing..

he says to investigate ship

but ship is not interactable

to the point i can just walk through it

[remote thunder]

nope - a frigate

[remote thunder]

try to save+reload

[wide steeple]

frigate is the weakest type?

[ripe pelican]

ah i didnt know, i thought it was a freighter 😦
i think i got it though anyway thanks a lot for the help ^^

[wide steeple]

I have a C class dreadnought

But this one is S class

Still better?

[ripe pelican]

No freighter you can "drive" frigates you can send on missions , its the little ships that fly near your freighter i think

[remote thunder]

sure, even though in exp2 freighter doesn't matter much - at least it didn't for me, i warped around with ship all the time since ship hyperdrive modules are far easier to get

[remote thunder]

yep; to be clear, can't fly neither freighter nor frigates: freighters can be used to warp or be summoned via quick menu; frigates are for sending them on fleet expeditions to get loot in a passive way

[bleak turret]

still nothing

guess i will find a new one

[remote thunder]

on foot quick menu, scroll right, is there a player base to report?

do you have multiplayer enabled?

[bleak turret]

already left

but i didnt saw any

[bleak turret]

nop

[wintry void]

Id of saved and reloaded

[remote thunder]

@bleak turret if you dashed to the ship after the reload, it should have worked

[idle berry]

Where are you guys getting frigate fuel?

[remote thunder]

did you do enter+exit ship+reload restore point, or reloaded autosave?

[bleak turret]

crafting and rewards

[wide steeple]

Btw it only tagged depots for me but when I went there the thing I'm looking for was at each spot

😭

Just finished the mission

[idle berry]

Do you get the crafting recipe from the anomaly?

[remote thunder]

that's kinda impossible

[remote thunder]

i didn't need fuel

[bleak turret]

on the freighter

[wide steeple]

It says depot on it not sure if it's the depot ur saying

Lemme show

[wintry void]

Interact with command module on freighter

[wide steeple]

@remote thunder it says resource depot

And there's the chart thingy

In the back

[idle berry]

Thank you folks🫶🏻

[remote thunder]

that's a resource depot yes - but it shouldn't have let you mark 3 of those at the same time

[wide steeple]

Not 3 at the same time

I flew around

[remote thunder]

gotcha

[wide steeple]

To multiple resource depots

I thought anything named depot won't have it

[remote thunder]

some don't

anyways

[wide steeple]

Lucky for me all 5 I went to had it

[remote thunder]

the idea was using a chart, and if a marker said depot, you'd not visit it, just use another chart.

[wide steeple]

Gotcha

[remote thunder]

the next chart could never mark a depot.

[wide steeple]

ah

I see

I misunderstood lol

[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.

[full sun]

Hahaha, I’ve been killing time waiting for the 8 hour expedition to finish

[remote thunder]

"sorry captain, changed my mind, you're going on this other one here - oh no, sorry, my mistake again!"

[wide steeple]

I'm trying to finish this expedition in one go since I probably won't be free for a while, i got 2 days to finish it.

[remote thunder]

you can do it

[wide steeple]

I'm almost done

Heh

[full sun]

Jumping in now. That’s all I had left to complete it all.

[remote thunder]

🙂

[ripe pelican]

Just for reference, i havent played in months, i sent 12m through the terminal and like 1k carbon oxygen etc and some wired looms
Bought sussy packets to sell for nanite and copy weapon and 1.2k ly ship finished the expedition in like 5-6ish hrs apprently so thats how long it takes if anyone else searches/expects a similar experience

Are all expeditions like this? Most of the missions you had to do were very basic stuff

[remote thunder]

yes, pretty much all expeditions can be completed in a few hours - only pioneers og was especially long/took a lot more than that

average times are usually 3-5h, depending on expedition goals, game knowledge, sometimes rng luck

that's ofc, if there's no community research milestones

(none in exp2 redux)

[uncut kraken]

bruh how do i stop getting killed on spawn somebody’s sitting infront of my ship spawn killing me at 4th rendezvous

[ripe pelican]

alright sweet!
i found expeditions to be really daunting expecting it to be some weekish maybe 2 week long journey.
Never too late to start i guess, the pins helped a lot though

[remote thunder]

pause/options/network settings/disable pvp

[uncut kraken]

don’t have time to pause i’m killed before menu pops up

[remote thunder]

disable multiplayer before that

turn off internet/go offline

then load game

[uncut kraken]

cool love losing everything bc guy wants to ruin my game

[full sun]

For a second today was thought there was one (I hadn’t unscrambled the last phase yet) when I got a notification of some community thing completing. Guessing it was the weekend nexus mission.

[idle berry]

This made it so much faster, thank you!

[full sun]

I was wondering how the speed runners were doing this one with frigate waits as high as 8-12 hours lol

[remote thunder]

not a speed runner, made some mistakes, still pushed through in 2h25m started from new save

[bleak turret]

can you even get 5 ice uncomon here?

[remote thunder]

no

[bleak turret]

i tough so

the base name is a trap

[remote thunder]

pinned post: <#nms-expedition message>

Phase 2: Icy Veins: Rdv2 system (Suurazumi) has a suitable planet (Aaki 52/U4), Use rarity bait e.g. Mealworms, Only fish with rarity=uncommon or higher with ''frozen waters'' in description count, see example image :externallink:.

[remote thunder]

you're looking for planets with water and frost crystal on resource list: that's a frozen biome planet

[bleak turret]

or a planet that says frozen

[versed mantle]

Really not a fan of the fish milestone :(( it wouldn't be that bad except it won't let me turn on autocatch to make it less tedious

[bleak turret]

i will check if it has water

[remote thunder]

doesn't have to say "Frozen" mandatorily

[versed mantle]

(I'm also working on that right now lol)

[remote thunder]

any planet with frost crystal on resource list is suitable, as long as it has water

[versed mantle]

Apparently I've caught 31 fish so far and only three of them have been uncommon ice fish

Twenty more to go I guess

[full sun]

Are you using bait?

[versed mantle]

Yeah, processed meat

[full sun]

The meal worms (I think) are easy to make and worked very well for me

[stray needle]

UGGG I'm having so much trouble with finding new systems

[remote thunder]

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.

[stray needle]

I've gone through like 4 black holes

at this point

[remote thunder]

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.

remember, up/down/left/right

galaxy map doesnt go just towards the core

[full sun]

I guess I got lucky. Only made one jump that wasn’t a good one. (Didn’t use black hole or anything)

[versed mantle]

I'll try mealworms
Processed meat actually claims to have a slightly higher increase in rarity (32% vs 30) but I don't know how that's calculated

[stray needle]

how many more days on the expedition?

[remote thunder]

!exptime @stray needle

See Pins in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam

[full sun]

The Singularity engine from Polestar expedition would have been awesome to use in this one!

[remote thunder]

@stray needle if you start getting desperate - just turn off internet/disconnect lan cable/wifi after loading game - that will cut connection to online discovery services server, that downloads other player discoveries, making every system you havent been to yet undiscovered until you turn internet back on

[versed mantle]

Or if you're on switch you can just play normally and it will disconnect for you every time you do anything :P

[remote thunder]

pause/discoveries tab, lower left: that connection would need to be down

[idle berry]

Fr. To be honest though early I checked my expeditions and there was one that was 0h:55m but I don’t know if it was a bug or if the expeditions scale with something.

[versed mantle]

I did the abort-immediately trick but three of my expeditions were under an hour naturally

[remote thunder]

expedition offering duration scales with fleet size

1-3 frigates fleet, duration maxes at ~3h iirc

expedition offerings are fixed per system

[full sun]

Ahhh, I snagged too many frigates. The had a few 8 hour missions

Had 5 at the end with the Normandy

[verbal shore]

there's fishing in the game now?

[versed mantle]

That makes sense

[remote thunder]

since Aquarius

[versed mantle]

I only had the one frigate because frankly I have no idea how to get more

[remote thunder]

!faq-frigates in #bot-spam for more info

[versed mantle]

My entire experience with freighters in my main save is

1. get one
2. build some rooms on it
3. ignore it for the rest of the game

[verbal shore]

i haven't played in a while, is aquarius part one of the overall biome/ocean update?

[remote thunder]

https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/09/aquarius-update/

[versed mantle]

I've done more with my freighter in this expedition than ever in the rest of the game lol

Not sure how freighter autocorrected to brother there

[full sun]

That’s why I loved the Polestar expedition. I was like you but that one taught me the value of the freighters.

[versed mantle]

Also I can confirm that mealworms are in fact way better than processed meat

(I caught two uncommon icy fish immediately)

[full sun]

Having access to all of your storage everywhere you go is the main freighter benefit for me

[versed mantle]

See I just teleport back to my base every other minute lol

[remote thunder]

took me 4 tries out of 7 with mealworms, 10min or so - in the same time with no bait i caught one

i'd say it's defnitely working 😄

[versed mantle]

I'm guessing processed meat has a higher rarity percentage because it ups the odds more for the higher tiers of rarity or something (whereas mealworms up them more for the lower tiers which is more helpful if you just need uncommon or above)

I don't know for sure though

[whole stirrup]

I just started the expedition and i have NEVER done one before, how does this work?

[full sun]

Yeah, with storage on your freighter and a matter beam installed you can access all of your storage boxes from anywhere after summoning your freighter

[versed mantle]

I think I knew that at one point

But I've long since forgotten

[stray dome]

what was the expedition prior to this?

[remote thunder]

expedition 16; we've entered the redux/rerun stage of 2024

[stray dome]

ah good, iv'e not missed anything then

[lucid obsidian]

Just finished the expedition, and maybe it's dumb, but should I expect Normandy in my freighter's roster now, or is there something else to do to redeem it on the regular save?

[shell kettle]

who you callin' a beachhead

[remote thunder]

goto quicksilver shop in other saves, inc main save, collect expedition rewards dialog option - it will be there (there's filters per expedition, it will be under expedition 2)

remember to double check that you're not at max frigates first

[lucid obsidian]

Max is 30, right?

[bleak turret]

this expedition is going so damm fast

i finished first phase

and by accident some of the latest parts too

(others were intentional)

[remote thunder]

yeah, beachhead is pretty fast

[bleak turret]

i am worried with this ones

[remote thunder]

[bleak turret]

hoo dw

[remote thunder]

also ^

[bleak turret]

i know how to do them

[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.

in the pins

[bleak turret]

ik

[remote thunder]

you shouldn't be worried at all

[bleak turret]

but what about the cost of getting first frigate

2m

XD

i need to go farm some

[remote thunder]

every freighter comes with a frigate.

[bleak turret]

mine didnt

weird

[remote thunder]

sure it did.

[bleak turret]

wait

maybe i need to install the expedition things

[remote thunder]

go interact with your fleet management terminal

on freighter bridge

"frigates"

you'll see it there

to actually send it somewhere, you need to build a fleet command room, yes.

[bleak turret]

also i am happy that i brouught some teleport fuel

[stray needle]

I got it now

[remote thunder]

about uncharted, also see the pins; shouldn't be a problem if you black hole from the starter or phase 5's system, certainly won't be a problem if you go offline

[bleak turret]

i will do it at the end

[stray needle]

wait I saw something that you can cancel expeditions and it will count

[bleak turret]

what about fuel?

dont you need fuel to send them in?

[quaint urchin]

Yep, Abort it and then Debrief the commander.

It will give you credit for the Milestone mission.

[remote thunder]

you do, but iirc there's even frigate fuel in the freighter core cargo when we start - i sure didn't need to craft no frigate fuel even though freighter command mission (triggered by the milestone, popped in mission Log) unlocked frigate fuel for free

[bleak turret]

there is?

[remote thunder]

don't know - i had fuel to send+abort+debrief+end 3 times and i didn't craft any frigate fuel

[full sun]

I didn’t have any, but I think I did pick up some in a box at the crashed freighter (I checked all the boxes even tho not required)

[remote thunder]

i didn't loot no boxes at crashed freighter milestone

i did the frigate milestone in the 2nd system i was in

i was still in phase 1

lol

[bleak turret]

the quest itself gives fuel

[remote thunder]

i do know that

but that's not where mine came from

couldn't have

[bleak turret]

yeah ik

i think you got lucky

[idle berry]

Does anyone know why “Uncharted” isnt progressing for me? Even though I’m warping to new systems?

[remote thunder]

see <#nms-expedition message>

[remote thunder]

i'm almost sure i had frigate fuel in freighter core cargo - because i had done nothing else but go down on a planet, and back up and warped out, not before visiting station, but station doesn't have frigate fuel

unfortunately i didn't take a screenshot

[idle berry]

So to make sure I understand it; it’s a matter of actually being first contact in a system, rather than traveling to eight separate systems?

[bleak turret]

just create a new save and check

[remote thunder]

correct

[remote thunder]

i will, but tomorrow

2am

[idle berry]

Thats what I was missing. Thanks, bk!

[bleak turret]

same as me

ez tough

[remote thunder]

very

even not doing this, there's still plenty of time

this will be helpful for players trying to get it done in the last couple days/few hours

i personally just wanted to make sure it still worked

wouldn't matter to me completing in 2h or in 6h, considering there was 2w left to finish

probably would have spent entire time fishing after the rest was done

[bleak turret]

@remote thunderjust created new save
