because you can take them out/copy them after you unlock access to anomaly in expedition (after first warp)
costs nanites to copy ship/MT
basically, making your life easier
Question please. I made more freighter storage. When I say transfer for suit or starship to it it only has a handful of storage slots. How do I connect the 40-50 or so I crafted?
for example, i knew i was going to need an amino chamber to build a teleporter room because its a milestone objective
I don't follow
is the expedition like a new save or something?
like disconnected from all my stuff in my save?
correct
oh weird
with the exception of the expedition terminus, you're playing a new char
While remote you only get to see the Freighter's inventory slots. In order to see the storage you added you need to be on the freighter in the build area.
so I just need like some resources to recharge my things and idk what else
How do I add stuff to them? while on the freighter?
there will be tabs next to freighter inventory tabs in the inventory UI for each storage room built
kk
guess I need to gather some stuff before I begin then
Oh, Im about to go to phase three. I havent used the anomoly yet.
most of that stuff can be bought, the bionic lure is optional and you can deal with the fishing milestone just using mealworms (which you'll learn how to craft from expedition)
This expedition is the most doable without cloning stuff from your main save, but I like having my good ship and multitool anyway.
do I get my money in the expedition?
I dint know the game and just dove in feet first lol. Same same expedition, because to me if I dint finish expedition, Cant lose what I never had:)
and how are you liking it so far?
Aside from this forum I`ve watched a lot of YT. I have that on speed dial lol, to keep from asking so many new guy questions in here.
Me? Number 1 game in my stack!
always feel free to ask any question
7dtd just got rear ended lams
i sorta meant to ask more about expedition game mode
that's very true
what's a bionic lure
a bait for fishing
I got it working. Had to reload an earlier save.

How to get started with Fishing
- Unlock Fishing Rig multi-tool tech from the respective NPC in the Space Anomaly, then install it.
-# Note: Specialized bait crafting recipes will also be taught when unlocking Fishing Rig. - Goto any planet with underwater fauna.
- Optional: In the Multi-Tool inventory, cursor over Fishing Rig, press Apply Bait if you wish to use a bait to fish with.
- Aim at the water surface, and primary fire.
- When line gets fully stretched and colors Green, press and hold primary fire.
Caught fish is dropped as an item in inventory.

Exps for me, so far, are a little like crash course in the game. I1m off to the diner table lol. Cheers
fishing is pretty easy and chill
try it out in your main save first if you can
all in all, this is an expedition that is quite easy to do, if you havent played in a while i'd suggest just playing your main save for a bit, get your bearings back, a few hours to remember the basics, crafting, following mission objectives, how to force cycle hints lower right of the screen (press H or dpad left)- there's still plenty of days left to complete expedition 2 redux and get the normandy.
check pinned posts for tips and recommendations, headsups for milestones
cond carbon
o2
ferrite dust
gold
cmetal
silver
ionised cobalt
sodium
ion battery
faecium
tritium
chlorineopt: bionic lure, amino chamber
bring crafting, refining, recharging and freighter base building basics (dust, cmetal, o2, carbon, tritium, gold, silver, warp hypercores 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)
This is the 3rd Exp they have had in a couple months it seems like
in your main save? the multitool research npc in the anomaly
heh yeah - it's been a festival of expeditions this year! 5 new expeditions released, now the redux of exp2! with rewards from other past expeditions too!
@icy frigate in expedition2 redux there will be a milestone that when claimed, will reward the fishing rig blueprint; just click on a free multitool slot to add it from the list.
I got the fishing rig
that's basically the flow of things: complete mission aka milestone, get reward, move on to the next
dis yeah?
just that and bait right?
no other bits?
yeah, not much else to it - cast line in water, when line turns green press and hold till it catches it
Last question:) Can I complete go to phase 3 before completing phase 2?
you add bait to the bait box
sure - the only milestones from each phase that you should always do in order are the rendezvous milestones. would recommend always visiting the station of any rendezvous system to add it to the teleporter list, in case you need to quickly backtrack
so I gotta bring that to the expedition for Normandy?
no, like i said: unlock it in main save to test it out; you won't have that tech unlocked straight away once you're in expedition - you won't need to learn it from the anomaly, you'll learn it from a milestone reward
okay
despite being started from existing save, and having access to the expedition terminus mechanic, the expedition run is in practice a different save
hmm

Are the dosimeter and myth beacon good for anything once done with the quests? I still have the historical data quest in my log even though I'm ready to end the expedition.
I don't recall if the dosimeter still gives QS after the milestone completes. Even if it didn't before, they might have changed it. Might be worth testing.
Myth Beacon does nothing after the expedition
Haha i saw this and spent 30 seconds trying to figure out if i had a hair on my screen
I suspect that, without the mission, one would not get the prompt to scan for Nada.
there a recommended bait for the fishing objective?
people use the cheap mealworms or whatever they are called, good enough, it's mostly rng anyways

hmm that's maybe no longer accurate? lemme fire up the game
well all I can get is that it says "two weeks remaining" both on the splash screen lower right, and at the anomaly terminal (I"m not actually in the expd to check how many days it thinks are left)
Sure enough, even though the mission is done, I got 15 QS for taking the reading! I wonder if it will let me take the device back to my main save...
Nope. Greyed out from the transfer menu.
the dosimeter is available for purchase at the qs shop I do believe
or maybe that's the myth beacon... (which does nothing on a regular save)
What's difficult about discovering 8 systems?
I honestly don't know why so many are having trouble with that milestone. I got 8 in 8 warps.
Just upgrade your hyperdrive to Cadmium drive and go to uncharted red stars, they are abundant
biggest i have with warps is that i'm using my kitted out S rank ship from the main save as the expedition ship
so i bascially hop from destination to destination without any intermediate systems because i have that much warp range
but... that's not THAT hard to work around that...
that just makes finding undiscovered systems easier imo
you can go further out than the typical new player with low HD range
you can also ask Polo for black hole directions but i didnt even bother
what, black hole => atlas route hopping as innefficiently as possible?
black hole once to get you away from expedition route, then look for undiscovered systems from there
or just jump to a red star >1000LY away from the expedition route and continue from there, thats what i did
I'm just doing the last 3 missions then I'll do a random blackhole jump praying it's into an undiscovered area
How do send a frigate on expeditions?
talk to the guy who stands by the center console
I need to do this 3 times apparently and i see no options
have you built a fleet command room
no, apparently that was a pre-req, think i got it now
if you talk to the guy he should give you a quest to do that
Someone said it doesn`t matter where we catch the fish? I caught 3 uncommon and a rare in under 10 minutes. Just water radio planet, not ice planet
You can just go to warp console and warp if you have the correct stuff right? I never talk to that layabout lol
Nite folks I`m toast lol.
So what all is worth taking from the expedition lol
I saved all my upgrades, didn't use any, well maybe 1-2
You can take all you want. Just load up the terminal and "only" use the Options menu to "Return to primary save". Once in primary save, unload the terminal. Then create a restore point (hop in and out of ship) and use the terminal to return to the expedition. Then load up the terminal again and repeat as needed.
Cool, didn't know if there was some stuff worth not taking or what
Cause we cant take whole ships or freighters right?
only items
you can take (a copy of) the currently active ship and multitool
Can take any ship, just change the active ship while in the expedition and then claim it for Nanites in your primary save. Freighters cannot be copied, but the modules can be transferred if you don't have them on your primary. Also, you can copy any Multi-tool you happened to have found as long as it is your primary. If you found more than one ship or multi-tool, just remember to set them as active when in the Expedition save and claim them in your primary.
Cool thanks for the help (:
My primary save only had like 9 hours
before starting the expedition
Wanted to make sure I took everything I could lol
Wait so it's just a freighter ship??
I don't fully understand the question, but if you are referring to the ship you receive for completing the Expedition it is a Frigate. The Freighter is your base and Frigates can do missions. The SS Normandy is a frigate you can add to your fleet to do missions from your Freighter. While you can claim it in the Expedition, you can also claim it after completing the expedition on any other save by visiting the Quicksilver vendor in the Anomaly. Once you add it to your fleet, you can use it to send on missions from your freighter.
I thought it was an actual ship not just a frigate :<
Uh simple question but how do I reel in fish? Same button as casting?
Where can you find the Scorched, Airless and Frozen Planets for the photograph different Environments Mission in the expd
Suurazumi, its in the pins
yes
Cool got my 5. What do I do with all these fishes now…
Does anyone here rush expeditions to the point of ‘cheating’ on annoying ones?
sell them, release them for some nanites
Releasing the fish helps towards the 4,500 nanite goal.

Been working for days to get all the glyphs and now down to the last one and can't find any aliens at the space stations. Is there another way to do this?
why do you need the glyphs in the expedition?
Never have had them in an expedition and just wanted to try this time, no real needed reason, just a goal.
Hmm I’m taking photos in a scorched planet but not seeing it ticked off the list
All the completion ones were a bit buggy with me.
The picture took 5 planets
I caught 8 rare (purple) fish for it to count 5
It's a bit janky, but perserverance lol
I restarted Xbox and they magically appeared and counted.
Oic
they need to be uncommon but also to be specific to the frozen biome, which will be mentioned in the description of the fish when you catch it. uncommon can-be-found-anywhere fish do not count.
Right, I was in the frozen biome. And it counts for uncommon and rares. I was just pointing out I had to catch more than 5 because it wasn't counting each one.
There’s some fish that can be caught on any planet and those will say ”can be found anywhere” in their description, you want the fish that say ”found on frozen planet” (or something like that) any fish that do not say specifically frozen will not count
Ah weird. I've been done so no biggie, but good to know.
So is the current expedition the same as the old one frome way back (beachhead) or has it had new things added to it at all?
A bunch of the phase rewards have been changed
And the milestones have been changed to be more like Polestar
But is it anything brand new? For reference ive done every expedition since the beginning. Couldnt find an actual reward breakdown so i figured to ask here. Just wondering if there is anything groundbreaking added.
No rewards are new
Thank you. You are appreciated 
Is there a way to tell on Galaxy map if a system is undiscovered
in the pins there is a list of all milestones and rewards; also in the pins is a list of which rewards are not from the original beachheads expedition

It got extended?
Yes
Cool
Weird end time
uncommon fish on the frosty planets milestone seems to be bugged?
bugged how?
went through a couple of frosty planets to make sure, but catching fish there doesn't count towards the goal
must be uncommon or rarer, must say "only caught in icy/frozen water"
oh, ok, i'm very unlucky then, thanks
i'd suggest using rarity bait if you're not already, and just keep fishing, no worries, plenty of time left, expedition2 redux end date got extended by another week
yeah, bait equipped ofc. But it seems that even tho i'm on a frosty planet, i'm only catching fish that are "common across the galaxy"
damn, i think i've did similiar milestones way faster, during the aquarius exp tho 🙂
well, back to fishing then
cheers bk
Yeah, the RNG is definetely different now, than it was back in the Aquarius.
For what it's worth, it makes more sense to use better quality baits now. Previously, the rng was, perhaps too generous
i did it with mealworms fairly sucessfully i'd say
Another vote for Mealworms, cheap and done in 23 casts I think. 22 if you don't count the one I immediately pulled back in by mistake.
Been a while since I have played how does one fix the frigate?
In doing community expeditions
Go to the frigate command station and teleport over to it, then visit the damaged stations
You can also just land on the frigate in your ship
Ok ty
@last flower cheese, if you'd like:
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.
that said, !faq-frigates in #bot-spam for when you're not in expedition
Someone said it doesn`t have to be frozen planet water for the fish? Yes or no?
I see above, nm. A day late and a dollar short, again lol
We had some issues catching fish on frozen planets also, but when I noticed in the description of the planet it said something about fish being there (some did say no fish), I went and was able to catch mine...it did take A LOT of casting but it finally happened.
To answer your question Math...it DOES have to be a frozen planet.
What icon is it that means fish there?
Thankee Bill
Can we not see our missions we take from the mission agent? Kill creatures I find that whispering egg critters work for those missions
how many artifact sites do we need to go to for the myth beacon? and is there any special way to do them more so than the first 3? cause the mission won't tell me anything
just go to three. then buy the myth beacon at the quicksilver vendor.
do the first 3 for the other quest count towards that?
the three dosimeter readings for polo are all you needed to do
How long does the expedition take?
this one can be done in a few to several hours, depending on if you bring in existing gear/materials, focus on the milestones, have some experience with the game
Ok thanks
I`m on day 6 or more and still phase 2 lams
Wonder why it got extended by five days...
Yesn’t
Wonder why
I forgot to do the anomaly thing in phase 1 do I need to or is that mostly for regular game play?
The Anomaly thing? After your first warp, you can call the Anomaly anytime.

Which is interesting. 5 day extension.
is it that difficult? or just low participation
The only thing I can think of is that they want to delay the holiday reruns for some reason. Or want to give Switch players who played Beachhead day 1 time to rerun it for the cape.
hmm
wished they gave the last expedition an extension. i was only a few hours away from completing it
Tho, I wonder. Omega was originally designed for the free weekends they did. Maybe they have plans to do that again for Omega redux and didn't want it running during a holiday? Dunno, just speculating.
I know they're UK based, but there are a lot of American players.
no idea, I guess we'll see when it gets closer to the time 🙂
@lusty slate I had 4 anomalie things in inv. Tried it twice nothing happened. I`ll look at Google today. I hate to ask long winded or long answered questions:_ Cheers
That's an anomaly detector. That's a completely different thing
To summon the space anomaly, use the quick menu.
There are Lots of new players I`m thinking. Brand new players like me are a little overwhelmed by an expedition vs regular where I can amble along and smell flowers, or, "oh look, a duck" lol
Oh crap Im a dumb old man lol. Thankee kindlee for that, Im old, ancient, my rememberer is only running on coal:) Cheers

Runnin` low here but still have gas in tha tank:-)
If Omega starts 28th then it’ll run through two weekends where they could do free trials again
Ods was done for awhile which is probably why they extended it
Still weird tho
it's quite unusual to have an unannounced extension like this
I heard that you can disconnect Internet to trick the phase 4 milestone for discovering new systems. Is that accurate?
think so
Yes
If the game can’t connect to ODS it will think all systems are undiscovered
The later folks do this expedition, the harder that step will become
bad enough for me a week ago
bounce through a couple black holes, maximum warp in random directions between each hop, you'll find a region. even if late to the party
Not necessarily. Just go far enough from the expedition area and use a black hole. Or 2.
A large percentage of Euclid is still untouched.
the vast majority of it is still untouched
based on the game size the discovered stuff is viturally nothing in percentage terms
ayup
Just have to get away from expedition terrority, and away from galactic core routes and weekend QS systems. That's where a majority of the activity is.
Listen to your heart, it's saying turn of wifi and send and cancel frigate missions
For real I spent too much time this morning trying to find just one and I'm limited on time as it is
for you: the time of the expdition has been extended

I headed for galaxy centre just following my nose and after a dozen or so jumps started finding undiscovered stuff
in case you are crunched for playtime hours in the next week.
I had ODS on and just went around 1000 ly in a direction and found some undiscovered systems
Usually if you hit one undiscovered system, the cluster around it will be as well.
Most people don't go up down either
Indeed, this is relieving
100% did that for phase 3
Finished the expedition yesterday evening, first one ever!
actually i should probably put the question in here
hi guys what is a myth beacon and why does the deployment site take so long to find
the warp trail the game is telling me to go is insanely long, i’m probably doing something wrong

Ah ty

okay thank youu
it's a specific system is the problem
Ty now I have the motivation to play it lol cause it usually takes me forever to finish expeditions
oka i found it thank you lol
i was all the way on the other side of euclid

(Not an attempt to cover up the fact that it flew way over my head the first time)
where exactly do we deploy the myth beacon, i tried near an ancient ruin nothings happening
echoes through the ages milestone will lead you to it
follow
ahhha, ok thank you
I have all these rewards like slot upgrades on this expedition, will i be able to bring those back to my main save if im doing the expedition from that save?
Through the terminal before you complete expedition
About to start this one, anything I should take to make gathering faster?
the idea with starting from an existing save is not have to do any gathering at all
cond carbon
o2
ferrite dust
gold
cmetal
silver
ionised cobalt
sodium
ion battery
faecium
tritium
chlorineopt: bionic lure, amino chamber
bring crafting, refining, recharging and freighter base building basics (dust, cmetal, o2, carbon, tritium, gold, silver, warp hypercores 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)
What am i supposed to do here? I just got done sending data to Nada
select collective counsciousness, follow
oh, being separate was confusing ...
Extended exp? 🙄 time to switch games for a while
what does it mean photograph 3 environments I think it says? I have 2/3 but don`t know how lol
I can use the camera but I keep doing it on differenyt planets. Does it mean 1 per system?
Closing in on phase 3 hehe
one on a scorched planet, one on a dead planet, and one on a frozen planet iirc
see <#nms-expedition message>, scroll down
Should pin that bk
going to make a post using gunter
@remote thunder best way to find undiscovered systems?
The strategy I used is in the pins; alternatively, you could portal away (traveler in starter system for example), or disconnect from internet completely to make all systems undiscovered
Ooh smart
Would disabling the discovery service work or do I actually need to turn off the connection
If you block the connection to ODS, for example by launching steam offline, or using a firewall, that would accomplish the same thing as disconnect from internet
Wow two updates in 2 days
Ahh, i tried disabling network play, i didnt reealize i needed to disconnect my machine from the internet entirely to do it
Turning of multiplayer alone won't be enough

oh and the yellow c class is highest? My MT is maxed out on upgrades but I don`t think it is a C
yellow/orange is S-class
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.
How can I descover 8 different star systems in the most heavily populated area of the galaxy rn
I’m having a real tough time

so solanium=scorched, rusted metal=airless and frost crystal=frozen
cool I have one, ty
did I see someone say the three excursions- take and do what? turn them down and collect? That`s several hours of excursions 🙂
Then I will go hit phase 3 destination. Not sure I`m gonna make it but no sweat on my end.
Helped a civilian fleet now they are asking me to board it to reward me but the symbol of frigate is on cargo pod… help?
when you select that milestone, a freighter command mission will trigger in your mission Log; select it, follow instructions to get 200 tonnes of frigate fuel. then:
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.
look for the blue tractor beams
topside
look for the freighter that has the same icon as the space rescue mission hint lower right of the screen
I’m aware what it’s supposed to look like I don’t see any
well, if you post screenshots maybe we can help you look

see <#nms-expedition message>
Go through a black hole
And visit blue stars
"disconnect from internet completely to make all systems undiscovered"
Before i start the game or..? any detailed instructions for this one?
before, or even when you're in the main menu for example before loading save
hmm ok ill try that ou- ;P
I'm not quite sure how this myth beacon thing works
select echoes through the ages milestone, exit mission Log, force cycle hint lower right by pressing H or dpad left till you see echo through the ages' hint
what does it want you to do
gotcha
if you get stuck, i'd probably start by suggesting to return to rendezvous 5.
congrats
do I get to keep all the random stuff I've gathered?
I've never had this many frigate expansion thingies
oop I think I just answered my own question
did you start from existing save? then yes, you can put them in the expedition terminus to bring back
if you didn't, could still bring them back, but would need another player
I think I should be able to bring back everything I want
this and the resources I initially brought were what I was mainly concerned with
I suppose another question, can I bring tech upgrades from the ship and multitool I synthesized while here?
I suppose it doesn't matter too much
tech upgrades aren't that hard to come by
I must say the feeding and then picking up the turds was interesting lol. This game has so much, I`ll do an easy decade in this one. Did 11 in 7DTD.
Can also refine dihydrogen with carbon to get faecium too, iirc. 😎
I am on my way through phase 4. Have 4 of 5 of those done. If not for you bk I dont think I coulda made it lol. This is funny. I copied and pasted your instructions from here, dropped that in an open email, and went back and forth to it to get it right. I know nada about clipboards, files, and such. FO 3 was my first real computer game on a 486 box barely 2 decadesd ago, and Im 75:) Night friend, folks. This game is s**t hot! Very much appreciated and what a forum should be. tyvm bk
Oh yeah I just barely made that fancy 3 cylinder refiner on my freighter lams. I can make "stuff" Cheers

Build a fleet command room on your capital ship then interact with it.

Also you can cheat the expedition milestone by just aborting the expeditions immediately
No waiting required
Wait do they prolong the expedition?

in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam
it is now ending 5 days later than originally planned, we don't know why but the time was extended when the 5.27 patch went out
this is annoying me, every time the Arrive in is a low time it jumps to a high time.
Nice
thankyouuu 
Guys, what am i supposed to discover here?
i've scanned dozen of things and shared the "discovery" but none counted toward the completion of this objectif
You have to discover 8 systems, systems no other player has been to before
that's what i tought 🤦
i guess all of the close by systems have been discovered already
Probably
time to open a portal to somewhere
Just disable your wifi
i did some 5k light year jumps and i'm finding a lot now XD
That's what I did, some random portal coords and was done in no time
either use black holes or go up or down in galatic map 1000 lightyears and you will some new systems...atleas that how i did it
you will need lots of fuel ofcourse
if you have portal cords then go for it
it's really handy when you have to do a lot of jumps
there is a milestone giving them?
idk.... i did not had it.... so i used my sentinal ship
it had 1500ly jump power after adding upgrades ofcourse
i have 1.9k on the Herald XD
btw i just noticed, even if we start from a save, we can collect expedition rewards previously collected, and this works with the ships/mt
that's nice tbh
you don't need to treasure those on the save because you wouldn't be able to get them again, you're free to get them again
also, my herald changed name and even after a copy the name did no reset, any idea why?
seems like a generic ship name, so idk what is wrong here
have you remaned it ?
if not the default system generated name stays...
after claiming it from the quicksilver terminal
Is there any problem with swapping my freighter on this expedition? And when I swap freighters does the tech get swapped too (I know cargo can be transferred)? Or do I need to pack them into my inventory first?
tech doesnt swap over on transfer just cargo
(freighter core cargo can be transferred, but won't happen automatically to be clear)
yes, that. You can move it over but not tech
good clarifiation bk
also, not sure ive ever tried to pack tech back into inventory. Does that work?
guys i just finished the expedtion, i put some stuff to take with me when i return to my main save, what happens to technologies still on equipment and other cargo that i won't specify to take with me? and can i take exosuit and/or multitool with me?
i mean the actual exosuit and multitool, loads of cargo space on the exp exosuit
If I warp with the ship but not the freighter, will I be able to summon the freighter in that system without using freighter warp fuel?
yes, unless it doesnt have the star class upgrade to get there
I haven't upgraded the freighter. Do you recommend installing the hyperdrive upgrade in the freighter to progress through all the rendezvous
will work, but can't do it in the exchange screen itself, would have to be done before
ha, never thought to try
Also, will the fleet expedition that I started be interrupted if I warp to another system?
can't merge exosuit inventories
barging in, personally i used ship as ship hyperdrive modules are far easier to obtain
Thanks
@severe pendant basically, you store exosuit techs, copy MT and ship into primary save after finishing (equip the ones you want first)
is it a bug that sometimes the frieghter won't come when called?
it only has 1 reason why it won't come when you summon it: insufficient hyperdrive tech
I thought it was because it didnt have the upgrade for that colour star
most likely
ok yeah, i know it costs no fuel.
feel there's a "but" coming
i swear it didnt matter once upon a time
possibly, long ago
it would just come when called regardless
how do i copy multitool after finishing?
and yea i stored the techs that are nice
same way you could copy ship and MT from primary when you got to anomaly after the first warp
at the kiosk you started the expedition
if you have good MTs or ships you can take em with from the start too
from your main save
i would like the expedition multitool to be moved to my main save
never tried but bk says ya can
not moved, copied
yeah, that
all i have is this
equip tool, save, pause/options/return to primary
or
if you only have 1 tool and 1 ship you'd like to copy
equip them
end expedition
interact with exp terminus again once you're back in primary save
retrieve all that loot
make copy/copies of ship and MT
copy buttons will only show on the primary save
like they showed here, basically
with tech for them yeah? just not exosuit
right ship and MT tech inventories are copied as is
MT & ship tech comes too, just not exosuit
right

okay got it i can copy MT after i returned to my main
multiple times if you wanted too
different builds, same look ... fancy
amazing thanks
oh oh, or just breakdown extras upgrades for wiring looms and stuff
then recycle em at the MT station?
yep, if there's some tech you'd like to package, multiple times, to have several copies to install on different owned tools for example
copy, package techs you want, scrap it, copy it again, package same techs again, scrap
I am still in shock i never tried or knew you could repackage upgrades lol ... so many times I traded ships and just started again upgrading xD

great feature
is it kinda recent?
nah, been a while
since Waypoint update iirc
ok, thats "recent" enough not to feel really bad
ive kept pretty much the same ships for some time
same here
It's strange that aborting fleet mission still counts towards completion of the objective
it's not the abort that counts
i restarted the whole game multiple times early on, first few years
it's you pressing "End expedition" @iron tendon
Oh ok
after debrief
Should I just let the 3rd one run to completion? Uses 50ton fuel, might as well, right?

Oh I thought it ended 22nd
got extended
Nice
i have traveled though 4 black holes now and traveled over 3 million light years.... how on earth does every system i visit have the same person who descovered it??
setjaw... if your here i have found your trail
from eight months ago
after exiting a black hole - remember that the region/nearby systems are most likely going to be discovered already, as black hole destinations are fixed for all players - take a few warps up/down/left/right, don't just go towards the core i.e. forward
nope
that explains it then! i was just B lining to the nearest black hole after that
if you go through the same black hole again, it will exit in the same exact system as the first time
Trying to do the Fallen Giants part, getting ship log part of that.
its all good tho, i have finished the expedition now and have the tough decision on what to take back to my main save
some of this loot is amazing!!
aww... i cant take the histographical dosimeter...
i wanted a souvenir
@heady meteor just interact with distress beacon center site, read it, and it should complete easy
man... deciding what tech to take home is tough
its all really goos stuff
what was the name of the jetpack we all started with?
i really wouldn't worry about that tbh. the more knowledge you get, the easier getting all that stuff in main save will be
jetpack trail?
ah thats just a proc gen x-class movement module
yeah fair, the freighter upgrades gotta come with tho, im poor on those
ahh
can package it and bring it if you'd like
also remember that you can use the expedition terminus multiple times, if 8+24 isnt enough
as long as you don't actually press that finish button, you can "modify" exp terminus stash/equipped ship/MT, save, pause/options/return to primary, do <things> e.g. clone ship, save, pause/options/resume expedition, <do more things> e.g. add other items to stash, switch to a diff ship/MT, save, pause/options/return to primary, etc
huh ok
the expedition terminus stash is like a shared inventory between the two "saves", the primary and the expedition run "overlay"
but since both are actually in the same save file
if you save on one side, it's gonna update on the other too
so as long as you don't finish/end expedition run..
nvm i just remembered i make a spreadsheet to calculate what the best upgrades are from a group
i can sell the rest for nanites XD
FINDING THE BURIED LOCATIONS NOT A PROBLEM, oops caps got on. what am I supposed to find/get here for task to update?
just ignore/abandon that mission
you got what you needed from that crashed freighter site
(milestone completion)
just wanna get closer to next part of expedition, have 5/7 milestones
since lots of milestones don't have to be done in order, when you need help with a specific milestone, just let us know what the milestone name is
also, 
New expedition out yet?
for about a week now
😁 thx, never got to do this back in the day durring release, but im so glad they let us do it again
Did they extend the expedition? I could have sworn it said it was supposed to end in 7d .. like yesterday 👀
yep, they did
They extended it by 5 days.
hey there.. i'm doing the beachhead expedition and now i need to go rendezvous point 4. Well, Actuall i am there, but there is no hint to where i have to go. no sign on any planet.. what do i have to do ?
i am literally in the system, yet still i get the msg i should get into my ship and open the space map
goto galaxy map, expand info panel on current system - what's the rendezvous mission you see
you need to make sure you didn't skip any rendezvous milestones
link to post with exp2 system names <#nms-expedition message>
i only see this
you don't have the right milestone selected - that's rendezvous 3 - are you trying to do the rendezvous 3 milestone, phase 3?
look at this image:
oooowww.. shame on my..... thanks for pointing out not to skip a milestone :/ i'm so sorry...
"rendezvous 3" appears because i have it selected in expedition
nothing to be sorry about
@hollow wing yeah no worries, rendezvous milestones are the only ones that you shouldn't ever skip/do out of order, on any expedition
wich i did :/
it's okay, no harm done
@hollow wing another tip: be sure to always visit rendezvous system space stations: should you ever need to return back to expedition route, just teleport back to last rendezvous you were in, and carry on from there
i was stumbling over this for some days now. and all the time i forgot to check some milestones.. bit embarrasing 😛

lots of useful info on pins too
Honestly I'd just jump in a black hole for that one
I agree about the black hole....my wife and I both used that method and I (Xbox) got my 8 right away but it took her (PS5) a lot longer.
We finished yesterday and even though we both griped a lot about the fishing and uncharted parts, it was so worth it. Love the new Normandy and all the rewards!
you want to max warp a couple of times in a random direction, then ask Polo for black hole coords, then go through. If you're sill not in a first contact system, do that one more time.
Ugh I’m out of nav data. I bought the wrong charts lol
What’s the easiest way to get some
space stations have some, look for yellow or blue cubes on the shelves. otherwise, fly low and slow, scan for the unknown building marker, if you see a waypoint (the save-and-chart things), land and use it. repeat untl you have enough

Is it not possible to buy more frigates in the expedition?
you can have up to 30ish iirc
Weird, I keep flying up to the other freighters and I never get the popup to buy a frigate
Why in the HELL am I not getting uncommon counts from uncommon catches on Icy Veins?
I've caught two longjaw snappers, which are an uncommon fish, and it's not counting towards the expeditions completion.
they might be general uncommon but they have to be uncommons from ice biome
Ohhhhhhhh! I get it now.
It's just I'm on a frozen planet so I thought all the fish in the water would be...y'know, FROZEN PLANET FISH.
some fish can be fished anywhere
Nope. There are always two types in the possible catch pool. The all-binome fish + the type specific to that binome. There's no way to filter the all-binome fish out.
It makes catching all the legendaries on main a huge pain. I'd catch like 3 golden jellyfish until I finally got a binome legendary.
Finally finished it up. Love this frigate :)
Anyone know how it works if you choose to leave the expedition back to the main save file after you started exped? Does it basically pause the exped from where you are and you can like go back and do like QS quests from anomoly for the weekend stuff and then go back into the expedition without anything changing?
correct, that's exactly how it will work. btw, don't forget to save before returning to primary/expedition
Is there going to be another expedition straight after this one?
we don't know. keep your eyes on the #nms-announcements channel!
Okie. Thought it would be like when they run a bunch of redux expos consecutively…
Normally we know in advance when that happens right?
All we do is guess, only HG knows and stuff changes, like HG extending the current expedition
we know that they usually rerun expeditions in Dec through part of Jan. that's all we got
when does this expedition end?

10 days? hell yeah we got time
Starting phase 4, I don`t know lol
Is there a specific place or way that the myth beacon is supposed to be deployed?
I know Echo Through the Ages is supposed to guide me to it, but I am not figuring it out.
do you have that milestone selected?
hi jake 🙂 this is what you should be seeing, when you've got echoes through the ages selected in both expedition and mission Log tabs
good to see you as well 🙂 welcome back
finished my first expedition, took me 4 hours
amazing frigate wish i could use it
how to send my items (that i got along the expedition) to my main save?
goto anomaly, expedition terminus, same way you did when you came in
as soon as you own a freighter in your main save, you'll be able to claim normandy from the qs shop/collect expedition rewards dialog option
once per save, in all saves under the same account
how?
theres no option to send anything
yeah, i meant i wish i could fly it
did you start expedition from existing save or new save
new save
can only use exp terminus if you started from existing save; claim all milestones, all phase rewards, and final expedition reward, and game will convert the save to a normal mode save. join a friend, ask them to hold your items while you switch back to the other save and rejoin group
did my message got sent 2 times?
nah
cant too
it just appears "when theres a new expedition you will be alerted" or something like that
though if i could i would do this exp again
really fun
in your main save, goto anomaly: interact with expedition terminus leftof quicksilver shop: what do you see?
(except fishing.)
exactly that message sadly
it just says something like this terminal is where you start expeditions
what - if you never started an expedition from main save, you should be able to interact with it rn and start expedition 2
i don't see why you couldn't, if you never started expedition 2 fromit
i had already done exp2 redux from new save, and was able to start it again from an existing save, no problem
i really didnt start from there, if i did by accident i could get the items, right?
see me putting items in, before starting expedition? same thing would happen going back, after completing expedition
if you want i can send you a screenshot but its not in english
something's not right there, i would like to see a picture of your save in the anomaly interacting with this machine
Anyone know why I can't start the beachhead expedition?
must be online to be able to start it
OOOH
then thats why
im not home and only have mobile data
will activate mobile hotspot
here i go, doing the expedition again
thank you and sorry for being that dumb
nothing to be sorry about
Tyty
i can start the exp now
anything just ask
what should i send to start it again?
What should I bring to the expedition? I heard its quite extensive
can you both tell from this image? <#nms-expedition message>
exactly my question
let me know
my mobile data isnt good enough to load this image :/
just a sec
Ok I took a screenshot

nah, already unlocked account wide
could even claim it from the quicksilver shop in that expedition run - it wouldn't affect your main save's ability to claim it too
you're only running it again to get stuff into primary at the end, to help it progress
stuff like units, nanites, quicksilver earned in expedition run will merge back to primary
yeah worth it
well I`m back with a question lol. Discover 8 systems. Start warping to various systems?
I just accidentally warped "somewhere", I need to keep my fingers off the thingie:)
One message removed from a suspended account.
One message removed from a suspended account.
Can I do this by just using my new teleporter?
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, again, up/down/left/right - that should take you into undiscovered areas.
alternatively, could also disconnect from internet/go offline to kill the connection to the discovery services server, and then all systems will be undiscovered to you till you turn it back on/reconnect
One message removed from a suspended account.
disconnect from wifi
then in game, pause/discoveries tab, lower left: connection to ODS server must be down
One message removed from a suspended account.
When I warp to a system I just need to be in the space there correct?
I`ve never played off line lol
yeah, just warp to a system, after warping wait a few seconds, if you see "first contact" you found one ofc, will be registered by the milestone hint lower right of screen (remember you can force those by pressing H or dpad left multiple times)
basically, you're wanting to get away from expedition route
because that's where everyone's been ofc
^
Got that. I may try the disconnect my internet way, but might try warping away. I can make lots of fuel. How do I return to where I am in phase three now? Never used black hole
I`ll start warpinfg and see polo. Thankee kindlee
teleport back, basically: ensure you've visited its station. remember that you can leave uncharted milestone behind and do it after all others - or you could just go offline/disconnect now, and start counting for that milestone on the next warp
there's several stations with ship upgrade module shops that have s-class hyperdrive modules; if you got the nanites, starting to invest on those will help a lot for this milestone. buy 2 s-class modules (save+reload restocks upgrade module shops), install them, should get you easy to 500+ LY range, +200% efficiency, so definitely worth it imo
Star ship
?
Thanks
I made a base early in exp and someone else has made a base which is half in my base. I know during exp, bases don't show up allowing multiple bases in same area. Thing is, they put their mineral extractors on a floor above mine so I'm guessing they saw my base when building. My question is, if I report the base, does it just disappear? It's not that it's offensive and I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble, it just messed up my base.
My question is, if I report the base, does it just disappear?
from your game, yes
Ok, I think the message said something about them reviewing it as offensive
you'll be fine
I mean ya, it's a bit offensive but I don't blame them. I've seen this thing happen before.
the other player will be fine too
don't think they had a ill intent anyway
but they shouldn't have gone that far imo
that said, yeah, just report
I'm sure not, it's about 600u away from the portal on one of the exp planets. There's a lot of bases showing up now all around me.
did you upload your base?
Yes
then the only way they'd have been able to build there was to see your base, go offline, build the base, then go back online and upload it i think
I notice it disappears at times then shows up. Does a person have to be online for their bases to be seen? I still see the big crater in the ground where it is.
He might have uploaded a different base on the planet too, and this one wouldn't show up I think.
if the base isn't uploaded, then owner must be in the system and have multiplayer enabled
only 1 uploaded base per planet per account
My base is Portal across Lake on Gaxaral - Tarum 17/E9
Small base, was really helpful during exp. Probably won't elaborate much on it though. Dissodent planet, I can't remember which sentinel ship is on that one.
you may want to raise a report to hello games on this, but yeah reporting base via on foot quick menu for example will basically despawn the base for you and you alone.
sets a flag in your save file that base is to be hidden
I think I will, thanks

How to find a black hole? I choose galaxy map like it says and looks like regular galaxy map. Got the coords for one from dude, oh, Polo?
Got from polo
in your mission log there will be a relevant secondary mission to select; when in the galaxy map, select either current mission destination at the top, or black hole if available

how do I use the myth beacon properly? it does nothing for me so far
Have you just gotten it from the QS vendor?
yes
Ok, after you leave the Anomaly, use it in space
And check galactic map
i was trying it on a planet
is it deployed in space? tbh i only remember using it when i was in front of building
follow hint @amber elbow
I had to go to space to trigger, may have been my own mess up
zero explanation of what that requires
- select echoes through the ages: exit mission Log, what does the hint want you to do? force cycle hints by pressing H or dpad left, multiple times if needed
oh right. i forgot the hint is a separate thing that doesnt like to appear lol. but yeah i didnt realize you had to consult the galaxy map for it. thx
i always rely on the hint - i forget, i may have had to use it twice.. i run these things almost with my eyes closed at this point..
Yah, and knowing how to cycle hints is easily 1 of the best early lessons to learn
need to add that
funny thing. I tried to use it right before getting in my exosuit and it stopped the animation when I did. so I thought I wasted it, and went to get a second one, only to find the first one still in my inventory 
what does a black hole look like?
There are some places with sworls in the icon?
it will be staring at you in the face when finish warp in
can't miss it
Ok then will warp again:+
but honestly i dont know how to describe it other than black in all seriousness lol
see the black hole purple icons on the map? the system that marked by polo will have that icon as well
Ohhh, I can`t map them to warp, just go to them right?
That`s the ones with the sworls, to my eye, only have one mind ya lol
A diamond with a swirl in it lol
thanks, benn warping since:(
You found one then?
Ive seen several around the map but cant place my marker to warp to it, just go to nearest planet? then go there?
Anyone got some spare nav data
Every time I come out of warp in a system there is a freighter war or pirates found some cargo and I can`t do nuttin shaking my head at myself:)
Taking a break bbl tyvm for your patience bk
you don't need a marker. once you decided to warp to a system in the galaxy map, you just deselect current system (right mouse button), then you move "yourself" with WASD, and you look around with the mouse. when you highlighted the system you want to go to, you just press left mouse button to select the system you want to warp to, and then just press and hold left mouse button again till it warps
as long as that system is within hyperdrive range, and your ship has the tech needed to warp to it if it's not a yellow star system, you can warp to it, regardless of what destination lines say that you should go through
try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades , but remember to mention that you're playing expedition (can only play with other expedition players)

Weird, I'm back from the expedition and the systems I visited are in my Discoveries list, and the base I built shows up under Your Bases, but the space stations I visited in each system do not. As a matter of fact, the space station list is VERY abbreviated from the list of systems in Discovery, and I almost always land on the station.
This leaves my discoveries list full of systems that, if I have no base there, I cannot get back to.
i'll be able to check this tomorrow
if there's a planet discovered in those systems then you'd be able to add that planet to wonders/personal records if you got available slots there, to get glyph address
The difference again this expedition is that I swapped between my main save and the expedition one extra time before ending. I swear the game loses data when one does that.
And yes, my backup plan has been to land on at least one planet and record the portal coordinates. I document everywhere I care about having been offline.
I just finished the expedition but I don't have a main save. Do I need to do anything else?
nope
it will auto convert to a normal save, can just keep on playing that one
complete quests etc
have fun
Awesome, thank you! I will! Side question, is the first quest Awakenings?
yep
Fantastic, thanks again!
Does anyone have the coordinates to Udia Minor in the Oitelny-Unis system? This is the "beacon" planet where we got the Normandy. I'm missing it and can't get back since the game ate the space station outta my list.
if no one gets them, i'll get them for you tomorrow
Nm, found it by setting a waypoint from my Discoveries list. It was only one system away.
looking for help to speedrun the expedition thanks
I have been following this guide and it is very quick
thanks!
wld still like if somebody cld help speedrun it thou hahaha
Finally! I either always landed in a fight immediately, or just my luck it never said black hole spotted. At last. I was blind and now I see. It appeared right in front of me. I had to warp to like 8-10 galaxies close to the BH icons. RNG? Luck a that draw?
ty bk
Is that even possible if that someone else is already done with the expedition? Do expedition people see non-expedition people?
The most time-consuming task is the fishing one, and no one can do that for you. The most help someone could be would be to give you materials.
Lol during the expedition I saw 3 red squid exotics land on the rendezvous 5 station in the span of 15 minutes. Now that I'm done and back I have yet to see one. The difference is I warped in the first time, so I may try warping out and back to see if it helps.
We can do this again if we don`t make it? And get the Normandy?
Dunno, afaik this is the first time they have re-run Beachhead.
But seriously, it goes quick, I was 4/5 done before I ever left the first system.
Yep that’s what I’m looking for
Finally finished!
Not sure if this is the correct place to ask or not.
I started my expedition from the anomaly and know how to take items back to my main save.
Is there a way to take/transfer base location back to the main save. Found a place I think is cool and would like to keep it.
It's the third time Beachhead has been run. First run, holiday 2021 rerun and now the current remix.
Is there a trick to finding unexplored systems? I went through 2 black holes and I'm still warping into discovered territory lol
So far Beachhead and Cartographers are the only two expeditions that have been brought back after their holiday redux. Both with reward changes.
Morgeil answered above that this is the 2nd time Beachhead has been re-run (now with randomized fishing quests, oh boy!), so it will probably run again. It just might be a year or two.
Try warping a bit from the where the black hole dumped you, then get black hole coordinates again from there
It's possible you got unlucky and got black holes someone else in the expedition already went through.
Any bases you created during the expedition will automatically transfer over
Use your freighter to head to a black hole system. Jump your ship through tgere snd head out z few systems from there. I had a ship from my main save.
Really! Cool!
Yup. Can personally confirm too. I did it during Aquarius.
Thanks much
Found a great scorched binome fishing spot and dropped a base down to keep it for fishing in main.
I was using my personal vessel. Does using the frigate to warp inrease chance of unexplored systems?
It does not. Just pick whichever has the longest hyperdrive range.
No, it can sometimes travel further
Tips on digging up buried items?
How long till the exp is over

what timezone on that?
Did I buy wrong charts? Artifact Charts?
if you start the expedition but don't finish it do you still get to keep the freighter?
Is anyone else having trouble with echos through the ages?
the times you see in the exptime message are in your local timezone.
Trying to do the Icy Veins quest, just case there's location text doesn't mean I know exactly where that is -
any frozen planet, the fish that you catch must be specific to frozen worlds, not just any fish caught in a frozen world
One of the simplest baits you can do to get RNG tilted much more in your favor (and therefore spend colossally less time on it) is to make Mealworms. They just require condensed carbon. YMMV, but for me, once I started using Mealworms, I got that milestone in about 20min.
frozen world meaning? i've seen Freezing, Arctic... regarding planets
do I need to find a specific area on the planets to fish at?
No, any planet that has dioxide counts
glitched clipped out the roof my freighter, cant get back in it. waiting a slow drop out 😆
Tip: Along the way towards rendezvous systems, there are freezing/arctic/cold planets which has bases with them with names like "fishing spot", helps a lot
if you're connected to the online services, I had to be disconnected for NMS to run properly again
need an "airless" planet. photo, last one need for that part
all rendevous have all 3 planets im pretty sure
"THE" Space Station. i don't remember which one where
U can turn finished missions in any space station
Any space station will do the trick
I mean
Any regular space station
With a mission agent
nope not for me, thank portals.
you can turn in that kind of thing at any space station (you can even turn in things that dont say you can turn them in at station to stations)
I finished BeachHead and the Normandy isn’t showing up in my frigate list, and it’s not above my freighter. Am I missing something?
u gotta claim dat
and will show up
How

umm. at it, nothing more to do but map marker objective still says there is right there
did you get the sentinel ship?
talking to them now just has "leave" conversation button
did you interact with the ship itself
no ship interact yet
interact with it
i mean no option to
do you see the ship, do you have mp enabled, is there another player base nearby
mp disabled, didn't want others joining my game session, what ship exactly is it? might have bought a ship that was that already
there's only 1 sentinel ship design per suitable system - if you got the right mission selected, the mission that triggered because of that distressed sentinel ship space encounter - when you followed its marker, it would have been pointing straight at the ship, not anything else - kinda hard to miss
where is the interaction spot supposed to be on the ship?
approach it while aiming at it, interaction prompt should pop. if it's not popping, then like Stobbsy said, save nearby+reload , then dash to the ship and interact with it
just the broken bot guy on top that has, loaded an autosave by it. just this pic - blizzard weather storm approaching
post a screenshot of your mission Log, full screen
autophage has nothing to do with the claiming the ship
that's not what you need to interact with
if you don't see a ship - you're not at the right site
you followed that marker till where it led you - post a screenshot of what you see
exactly right to Autophage as screenshot above
near the damaged autophage - there should be a ship
i mean, a literal ship
like that you can bump into, not phase through
had to not follow the yellow/gold objective for finding it. usually game has correct icon colored gold
that's probably a rendezvous marker
anyone know the location of an ancient ruins in rendevouz 3 system?
i found one near rdv4, could give the coords for that, but with 3 alien charts you're sure to guarantee a ruin for nameless ruin
+2 sites for hist lesson later on, if you drop and claim a base comp on the same planet to return later
coords for that ruin near rdv4
those tend to be purple for me, like vanilla bases/player bases.
rdv markers should always be yellow - purple should be stuff like other player base computers
no mistake about it
none of this sentinel ship claiming is needed to complete expedition/get the normandy
this is a side goal you chose to pursue
just a random space encounter that you could have just simply ignored after going through it and getting that mission
remember, expeditions is about milestone completion
whatever's not directly related to a milestone can be straight up ignored here and/or left for later, for after you got your milestones done
most my previous milestones completed by doing side missions 😆
what i meant is that you should focus on completing milestones: sentinel ship would help because of its large hyperdrive range for example, when it comes to the uncharted milestone from phase 4
or reaching next rdv in a single warp
uncharted not a problem, i disconnect internet/wifi before load my game
right
up to you - i personally went through exp2 redux twice now, neither time i disabled internet, had no issues doing it, left it for the end
guess just gotta find the hiding planets am missing somewhere. this sentinel ship can wait, if it poofs it poofs though
just make sure to visit the station of the system - and of any rdv systems btw - or drop and claim a base computer so you can return later
hmm, I tried checking on them. thinks they still in progress but not?
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.
i found this REALLY easily because of a yellow save beacon lol
1 more phase 3 and 1 more phase 4 milestone left to do..
my freighter so glitchy. starter one even
needed fleet command station, not the manage fleets console.
well, that's messing my milestones also. sigh...
expedition launched, but fleet command rooms say no expedition on.
definitely freights sent on expeditions. fell out my freighter glitched area

@heady meteor
@heady meteor goto freighter base, build a door that leads to the outside, approach it to open it then open build menu and use build camera to find the rooms and delete them to get mats back, or just goto freighter bridge/upgrade terminal/reset freighter base to default, which won't refund any mats
do not build close to the bridge
earlier I got stuck in White Snake Trade Tower, managed to get free eventually which made freeing my starship easy
quick menu, scroll right, can report bases nearby
not there anymore but they are/were on the portal system. don't mind losing some mats/stuff, can eventually find it again or get another somewhere. guess freighter reset time because it glitchin
i assume the planetary charts i need for the artifact sites is "Alien Cartographic Data" ones
has the expedition been extended?
yep
thank you :)

can't abandon any expeditions since it thinks none on despite definitely expeditions been launched.
finally worked as expected to 🤷♀️ and didn't lose my stuff in the storages on reseting freighter
storage room inventories are always safe
can even delete them, rebuild them, all mats will still be inside
reseting freighter base was indeed the easiest way out, and rebuilding fleet command room(s) shouldn't ever pose problem: when they're rebuilt, game should gracefully use them for each of the running expeditions
need more storage stuffs. either on any ship or in a base on a planet. trying to find next waypoint
I’m trying to discover 8 star system today yet I keep finding star system that has been discovered…. If I start expedition again on new game will I get the same “ map” as now or hopefully get new one * 2nd day trying to find at least one
same map
you have to get further out to find systems that other people haven't discovered yet
Ok
Try searching star systems below or above instead of left and right
search icon or channel name (at the top), then Pins (example below).
