[pine hull]

That’s what worked for me

[civic forge]

Go to the guy on anomaly and get black hole coordinates. And go at least 2 to 3 black hole jumps away. I did 3 to find unexplored systems. Just visit the stations to get back to the beachhead.

[last flower]

Ok ty

[heady meteor]

ack I'm stuck in a crashed frieght

[languid spoke]

load last restore point?

[heady meteor]

ty. restore point was jus a bit before the autosave, autosave was no good

[heady meteor]

where's waypoint beacon 4? just wanting to get these milestones over with, not sure which chart it wanting

guess I randomly passed it somewhere. need fifth now

[south salmon]

That's ... Not right. The HG announcement said 2 weeks

[remote thunder]

they extended it

[south salmon]

Ohhhhhh

[south salmon]

Curious, where was this said?

[remote thunder]

players noticed deadline having been extended in game

[south crown]

Interesting. Wonder what the reasoning was / if they're still going to have more reduxes than usual

[gloomy raven]

well, that answers my question of when this redux is ending

What's the next one?

[remote thunder]

omega it seems

[gloomy raven]

interesting

[lusty slate]

We're never 100% sure, but likely the holiday rerun of this year's expeditions is next.

[steep path]

Grrr.....screw Uncharted. 2 black holes, like 20 jumps and still NOT ONE UNDISCOVERED.

[remote thunder]

warp down/up/left/right, some 1000LY away from black hole system - don't just go forward or backward

[cold tulip]

Try blue stars too

[steep path]

I was...eventually got lucky 😉

[heady meteor]

oof, i think I somehow lost the Histographical Dosimeter which I need now to use, checked places it could be. if it is not in another starship its gone.

☹️ what to do? don't have it anywhere. did lose a little progress earlier, it had said like 10 mins played then went down to 7min. need the dosimeter. can another be gotten somewhere?

[remote thunder]

get another one from the quicksilver shop

dont remember where the first historical location was. even though I was just at it a bit ago 😂

[remote thunder]

when you need to leave a planet, and want to ensure you can return to a location, build a save beacon (has a HUD marker), or build and claim a base computer for easy teleport back

might just want to get another alien chart - remember that nav data can sometimes be obtained from lootables in space stations, or just interacting with a new windmill waypoint to get 1

<:info:850810445577453658> Obtaining Nav Data

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

Alternative sources:

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

any tips on finding a planet that i just cant seem to find

trying to find a specific planet, but im seeing all other planets in the system except the one i need

[remote thunder]

switch to first person view in ship, use mini radar to track planets around you

commonly enough, sometimes planets are "hiding" behind another

[static pagoda]

Oh! I thought it ended on thr 20th. Nevermind lol. Thank you 😊

[shy dagger]

?

or does it still lead to problems

[remote thunder]

yep, fixed

[shy dagger]

also, this is redux 2, so they just went for 2 without doing redux 1?

[vital lion]

Redux expeditions don't have a fixed order.

[remote thunder]

they started doing this in 2023, i think as a way to give newer players more opportunities to get past rewards that would be out of reach, doing a 3rd run of a past expedition with a mixed set of rewards

[low light]

Phase 4: Uncharted, directions are unnecessary, you can turn off ODS and any warp will count

[remote thunder]

well, some people see that as a cheese

i'll eventually include it in the instructions as it gets closer to the end

i'm well aware of it

[low light]

I guess, it's just playing offline

Which is a standard feature of the game

[remote thunder]

not a standard feature of the game - unless you literally cannot play online; there's no option to turn it off in game, as in, it's not intended to be an optional thing

but in any case, yes, i'm aware, will eventually add it

know plenty of people who did it without resorting to it, it's not like it's impossible by far

[low light]

I just did it to save time

[remote thunder]

well, tbf, there's weeks 🤦‍♂️ 😂 days left

personally, i know for a fact that it can be done in hours, even when not disabling internet

[shy dagger]

anyway, would it be better to warp with the freighter or with ship

[remote thunder]

personally i went with ship, there's several stations with s-class hyperdrive modules, also easier to get to cadmium/emeril/indium drive

[zealous tundra]

can you board the normandy like the other frigates?

[remote thunder]

no

[zealous tundra]

bummer

[zealous tundra]

I had not played for 4+ years and came back just to get the Normandy. I had no idea what i was doing, like playing the game for the first time and i was able to get it done in like 5ish hours

you can do eet

[shy dagger]

oh, another thing, i got a lot of s rank mods for the freighter, but since you said i am not gonna use it that much, would it be wiser to sell them for nanites

[remote thunder]

s-rank hyperdrive freighter modules? oh then you could use those instead for sure, and use the freighter to warp around

only thing you wouldn't be able to do with it would be to go through a black hole

[shy dagger]

like yeah i have one

and others that increase the efficency of expeditions

i could keep the hyperdrive and sell the others?

[remote thunder]

yeah

yeah, i think that's the one we get from a milestone right? yeah, by that time i had decided i was going with ship warping, there was a s-class hyperdrive module in the starter system station for which i went back for

[shy dagger]

also, how do i find the red arm like thing i need to repair my freighter

[little knoll]

How do I get the Myth Beacon? I finished objective 2 of chapter 5, it says to select the "anomalous research" objective. it also says to go to the quicksilver guy, but I can't see anywhere to craft it

[remote thunder]

hydraulic wiring? can be bought from several trade terminals and pilots around expedition route, or could craft some by unlocking its blueprint @ space anomaly/synthesis laboratory

[remote thunder]

select collective consciousness milestone in mission Log, exit mission Log, force cycle hints lower right of the screen by pressing H or dpad left multiple times: what does it want you to do?

[little knoll]

Submit historical data. Submit dosimeter reading. I already scanned 3

[remote thunder]

collective counsciouness is a milestone from phase 5

[little knoll]

So it's not currently possible to finish the expedition?

[remote thunder]

...that wants you to buy a myth beacon from the quicksilver shop @little knoll

^ that's the hint.

[little knoll]

Yeah I'm at that guy, bit there isn't such a thing for sale

[remote thunder]

Does Something happen if i go there?

[remote thunder]

orbital update added fleet expedition missions: you may sometimes be called by your fleet commanders to assist them with some tasks or decisions they need help with

[low light]

So after doing this expedition, I went back to install the freighter modules I got from it, noticed my pirate dreadnought's bridge has now converted to a normal freighter bridge

Hadnt played for a few weeks before the other day, maybe it's unrelated to the expedition, idk

[remote thunder]

try to just save+reload or resummon

how do I seize the sword, or Normandy?

I`m flying beside it but it keeps going

[remote thunder]

it should be hailing you on comms?

quick menu, ship comms

sorry for the late reply

[warm gyro]

I see it, and followd it and now Im flying beside it dont do anything lol. Thansk for your come back

Got it bk lol

I dint see the info on the ships data right in front of me:-)

Contacted and done and done. tysvm

[remote thunder]

ok nice 🙂

[warm gyro]

Well I dint add to me fleet and why nuttin was happening lol. I`m a fleet owner now? This game just amazes me.

[ocean gorge]

On PS5 I don’t see other player bases.
I didn’t see them on the Cursed expedition either
I’m connected to ODS
My settings, as far as I can tell, are the same as I’ve used for expeditions previously

[warm gyro]

I`ll play this prolly longer than 10 years of 7DTD. Almost daily.

[ocean gorge]

I mean, I’m almost done, so I don’t need other player bases, I just find it weird that with the same settings, I see player bases with Switch and Series X Just not PS5

[exotic fiber]

I not confident at all that i can finish this expedition before it ends 😦

[ocean gorge]

You have plenty of time, you can do it

Remember, you can do milestones out of order.
Also check the pins so much helpful info there (you need to get past a few things, but the stuff about rendezvous points and the post above that for helpful hints for certain milestones are extremely useful)

[exotic fiber]

only 2 1/2 days, not that much time in my life

There’s 8 days left

[exotic fiber]

OOOOOOOHHHH!!! i see my mistake

[ocean gorge]

I think they added some time

[atomic estuary]

8 days huh, still too early, I still have time to procrastinate

[ocean gorge]

This is why I missed Aquarius (well tbh I had some other stuff going on as well lol)

[exotic fiber]

DId they?
Because I hav ea piece of notepaper taped to =my destk for keeping track of things I need to get or do, etc, and I checked the pin a little while back to find out when it ends, then wrote on the note "Expires 11/21"

So either they added 6 more days, OR I miswrote the "7" to look like a "1" due to bad handwriting & probably being hasty & agitated & distracted by numerous tasks at the time

[ocean gorge]

I think they added some time because I remember several days ago there was 6 days left and then next thing I know it said there was 10 (or might’ve been more) days left. So yeah I think HG added some days, maybe because it times it to conclude right around the upcoming holiday season, idk, or maybe just reasons😅

[exotic fiber]

phew Then I think I can complete it.

[ocean gorge]

US has Thanksgiving on Nov 28🦃

Sort of kicks off our holiday season xD

[exotic fiber]

Weird of them to make such a change SILENTLY tho. You would think there'd be an announcement. I don't even know people who arent active in this discord on on the subreddit could possibly know.

[remote thunder]

yeah, they did extend the timer silently

people noticed in game

[ocean gorge]

I don’t know that they ever announce expedition extensions

[remote thunder]

yeah, no need

[ocean gorge]

bk do you have any idea why I might not be seeing player bases on just PS5? It’s been like this through Cursed and all of Beachhead so it’s not fixed with reloading/relogging. My settings are the same I use for all platforms and expeditions so I’m puzzled on this one @remote thunder ODS has been fickle, but even with it active I’m still not seeing any bases

[exotic fiber]

Which brings up another issue that's been bothering me this whole time: it used to be that if there was an expedition on, then when you opened the game, in one of the menus. there would be big clear text on the lower area of the screen (steam version) saying "4 weeks left in expedition" (or however much time there was). Required no effort to go look for the info, and IIRC it would display whether or not you were doing the expedition at the time.
It was VERY useful. WHY THE HELL was that tiny-but-helpful feature removed????

[remote thunder]

hmm, if a connection to ods can be established and maintained, then there shouldn't a problem downloading bases. can't teleport to a space anomaly featured base, for example?

[ocean gorge]

The highlight bases do show up, just no player bases

Maybe I should report that?

[remote thunder]

looking at the screenshot you sent, no player bases is because of having mp disabled in that case

[ocean gorge]

Switch doesn’t have MP and you still see player bases

I thought player bases info was carried over ODS side or something

[remote thunder]

only uploaded bases, because ODS serves them

[ocean gorge]

I’ve never had multiplayer on for expedition, it’s always one of the first things I turn off, I’ve never had an issue with it. So HG must be doing something different with these recent expeditions

[remote thunder]

afaik, it wouldn't be possible to see non-uploaded player bases on a device that doesn't a) have mp support or b) has multiplayer disabled

[ocean gorge]

Unless everyone is not uploading bases, and it’s hard to believe not a single person has not uploaded a base

[remote thunder]

yes that's not likely

hmm

tried restarting home router?

[ocean gorge]

I could try that. But I’ll probably wait until I finish this exped (I’m on making the myth beacon) and then see how it goes for whatever my next one is
Thanks for the suggestion though

Still if it was a router issue, not sure why things worked fine for when I ran it on Switch just a few days ago

[warm gyro]

So I continue or re run Beachead?

[ocean gorge]

Switch doesn’t even have a networks setting option pane lol

[exotic fiber]

does anyone even remember this thing I'm talking about?

[ocean gorge]

Other thing is I do see settlements and comm balls. Does ODS handle those as well?

[remote thunder]

yeah

[remote thunder]

claim all milestones and phase and final expedition rewards, then complete the expedition - no real reason to hang out in expedition mode. don't recall how you started the run, if from new or existing save

[warm gyro]

I started it new. Tried the first one, for me, Aquarius. Dint know wth I was doing and dint finish. Same with the dark expedition, dint dinish it. Oh, I did forget to completethe Expedition to get the last rewards with the Normandy now mine. Do I call and use it like my starship?

[remote thunder]

it's a frigate that you'll be able to use in your fleet, to run fleet expeditions (passive loot) from your freighter

not a ship, but it's a really good frigate

[warm gyro]

Ah ok then. When I grow up I want to learn about fleet expeditions:-) I think I will just go places. I need Cadmium and Duterium to fix a couple things. Thaks bk201 for all your help. You need a raise lol. Cheers

[remote thunder]

just a player like you 🙂 have fun. cadmium can be easily obtained by installing and dismantling c-class ship positron ejector and infra knife modules. deuterium can be refined from dihydrogen+silicate powder

[exotic fiber]

maybe i'll copy/paste my question here on a different time of day or a different day in hopes of other people being online in this channel.

[atomic estuary]

No idea

¯_(ツ)_/¯

But was it removed? I think it was still there by the end of the cursed expedition

[exotic fiber]

I have yet to see it any time I've logged in since Beachhead started. Neither before nor after I started beachhead myself. So it certainly seems to be removed on my end at least

[ocean gorge]

Also buying cheap pulse engine upgrades, installing and breaking them down for the deuterium (I always use this trick early game now that someone told me, because I always make Pulse Spitter as weapon, it’s one of my faves)

[exotic fiber]

Also I have a super important quest: is the 3rd rendezvous location underwater? Because Im trying to get to it now, but when I flew to the planet it's on, the exact marked spot that the game leads me to (from which I'm supposed to go searching for the actual rendezvous spot using my visor-tracker) is underwater.
And I DO NOT HAVE any SUBMARINE exocraft technology researched or purchased yet, nor does my ship have the tech upgrade to LAND ON WATER (even tho it's otherwise a fully-upgraded S-tier that I copied over from my main siave)

[elder yarrow]

so aside from meandering through a black hole... any advice for finding the uncharted systems?

[exotic fiber]

stock up tons of warp fuel for your ship or freighter (wchichever one youre using) , pick a drection and just warp & warp & warp & warp & warp & warp & warp & warp & warp & warp & warp & warp & warp & warp & warp & warp & warp & warp

[elder yarrow]

i think, at this point, it's just a matter of trial and error 😛

[warm gyro]

It is kinda slow about now. AFAICT

I took advice, got a black hole, went through 2 or three times. Then luckily every close planet was unchartered.

I keep playing this game I`ll have to ask the VA to give me bedtime checks lol.

[elder yarrow]

Thankfully, that fighter is really good at just eating pirates for breakfast

[frank iris]

looking for them dank nipnip farms anyone know of a few?

[elder yarrow]

Sorry officer, I do not know of any dank nipnip farms in this sector.

on the bright side, i'm definitely racking up the miles doing blackhole hops

[warm gyro]

So if I want a better starship just keep asking alien dudes to see what they have and try to find on way better than mine? Mine is A class

And I have upgrades everywhere in it lol.

[shy dagger]

got it

lets goooooo

[hazy sparrow]

When I tried to log in on the mac tonight, I did see text saying how much time was left in the expedition. It was not big text, but it was there, either on the load save screen or the one before it.
Update: It's on the Select Save Game screen in the bottom right.

[elder yarrow]

I'm using one that I had pieced together in the main save... and it paired with the staff are huge helps on expeditions... that and i can duplicate key techs XD

[slim elm]

I don't think any of us have been able to see other bases in cursed or Beachhead on ps5. I see a few for a second but gone before I get there.

.
There's that S class cabinet at the space station in the first system of Beachhead. Probably been mentioned already but if you make a restore point on Bruthac Delta, back at the SS will be a super nice S class experimental "Whispers of Matter". Has 2 sets of connected supercharged slots.

It is 7.5 mil though

[hazy sparrow]

If you can't see other player bases, you are kind of hosed for making that kind of money. If you CAN see other player bases, you will be able to earn that easy if you can find a nip-nip farm. Also, selling crashed ships will make you about 1.2mil each.

[slim elm]

I tend to think they limited exposure to other bases and save points, maybe to reduce the chaos on planets with hundreds of communication stations, and if they did I'm glad. Too tempting to just raid the bases and make big bucks fast.

.
Best way to make money in the exp is restoring the Sentinel ships on dissonant planets. I was getting 20-30 mil per on one of the exp systems.

[hazy sparrow]

Yep, sentinel ships are THE best money in game.
But I don't think they limit bases or comm stations; I've been in places littered with them.

[slim elm]

With limited resources like on expeditions then Sentinel ship harvesting is definitely best. Can't stand up to Stasis Farms though. Plus stasis farms are so fun to set up imo.

Couple of my major setups. Produced 300-500 stasis items daily with just a couple hours of actual work.

[supple sedge]

stasis farms?

[slim elm]

This little Gem worth about 15 mil per

[unkempt kraken]

@slim elm

No gifs in this channel please

[hazy sparrow]

What do you consider a stasis item? Do you mean farming mats for crafting stasis field generators? Too much work IMO but to each their own. Sentinel ships and frigate missions are how I made my 3+ billion. At 4 billion I quit grinding; I will never spend that much.

[slim elm]

Stasis farms are easy to put together. Basically just need a hot planet, cold planet, and a paradise type planet, and lots and lots of metal plantings 😂

My record was 700 in one day and got over 10 bil

The only thing to really spend the money on is maxing your ships slots, and it's sort of a catch 22 where the only reason to max your ship slots were to hold more stasis items 😄

[hazy sparrow]

Why would you carry a ton around? Wouldn't you craft and sell them immediately?

[slim elm]

4.something bil is max you can carry on hand. After maxing my ship slots I loaded them up with stasis items. There was rumors that they were going to give us something higher end to spend money on. If so I'm ready.

[hazy sparrow]

Ah. I'll google the details, as this is getting off-epedition.

[slim elm]

Ya sorry about that... back to the expedition.

[elder yarrow]

And that was quite instructional... should have disassembled/sold off a lot of stuff that was accrued during the expedition, would have likely had a FAR higher payout...

Why is the Normandy in spoilers

I’ve never seen an expedition reward listed as a spoiler lol😂

As for getting money in the expedition, I use a save where I already have means to make either stasis devices or fusion ignitors (sometimes both), although I don’t always use a save that has fully set up farms for them.

You don’t need that much money for expedition, unless you plan to buy a ship and/or MT and bring it back to your main save. If you have (in your main save) a freighter with frigates, they sometimes pick up some helpful stuff towards the high end crafting tree. I bring about 4 SD or FI into expedition and it’s always been way overkill😅

Often you can find bases (eventually, maybe not right away) that have great farms for making income, like gold farms, or ones with nip nip or other stuff you can collect

As mentioned as well, if you can find interceptors those sell for good money

[slim elm]

I loved Mass Effect, tickles my nostalgic memories. I wish the Normandy was not a frigate and an actual ship we can fly.

[vital spire]

better

let us fly the frigates

mainly expedition ones

it would also differentiate the expedition frigates with regular ones

Hello everyone! How do you guys get a rare fish on a frozen planet? I've been fishing for a 30 minutes and still 0/5...

[full sun]

I guess I’ve been napping since I finished my two runs. Did the expedition get extended by a week?

[full sun]

Are you using bait?

[modern sierra]

Yeah, but i already finished that stage😅
I was just unlucky

[full sun]

Ok, RNG doesn’t like you I guess. Never took me more than 8-12 casts using meal worms.

[hidden linden]

Is the new expedition out yet?

I already finished the normandy one

[unique trellis]

Vote!

[exotic fiber]

Are either of these the screen you were referring to? Cuz it ain't here on my game.

Separate question now. About the exp terminal on the Anomaly.

I started the exp out of my main save. Can I go back & forth between my expedition save & my main save,+

(hit damn enter too soon)

anyway can I go abck & forth, so that I can transfer everything of value i have in my various inventories on exp save over to the main save, BEFORE I end the exp.?

[remote thunder]

yes, simply add items, save, then pause/options/return to primary, goto anomaly to retrieve them, retrieve them, save, resume expedition, repeat as many times as needed

[unreal gale]

ok, stupid question probably, but "the cursed" was just a patch, not an expedition?

[remote thunder]

also an expedition that already ended

only ran for 2weeks

before the currently live expedition 2 2024 redux

[unreal gale]

oh, well... missed it. Thought it would run for the usual 8-ish weeks. Thanks nonetheless

Hey bk cheers

[hazy sparrow]

Sorry, yeah, on my select save game screen (the one on the right) is remaining expedition timer and mouse commands.

[warm gyro]

question. I have a few different saves, aquarious exp, dark ones?, Beachead, and a regular game I started. Should I choose my best char w/ship. MT etc, and cross save my Normandy stuff? My beachead char is maybe better than all of those. tia

I can google how to actually cross save. I don`t know what that is but I can figure it out. I try not to ask time and answer intensice questions in here being new:)

[deep berry]

Is it worth it to start the expedition now? Is there enough time left to complete? Never done an expedition so I’m not sure how much time it takes

[wise meteor]

took me 15 hours total game time and it was only my second expedition.

[deep berry]

That’s not too bad. I’m sure it will be easier if I load myself up with stuff from my main save. Do you have to complete the whole thing to get the mass effect freighter?

The Normandy frigate is the final reward, so yes you need to complete it 100%.

If I can do it in several days you have time lol. bk201 in here and others, plus Mr. Google and i made it. I don`t like asking hard to explain to a tech illiterate as myself, questions in here. You kin do it

[deep berry]

Thanks all. I’ll give it a try. I’m confident I can get it done since I’ve gotten a lot better at the game in the last week lol

[warm gyro]

Oh, there him is. I rekon I`ll just choose a char with the most "stuff" and play regular. I can play regular from when an Exp stops, from there on with that char right?

[remote thunder]

yeah, completing and claiming all milestones+phase+final reward on a expedition run started from new save will convert the save to a normal mode save, and can continue playing from there

[warm gyro]

ty

[deep berry]

Are you able to transfer stuff over to your main save? Like ships and freighters etc

Currency, nanites etc

[remote thunder]

if you started from existing save, currencies merge, bases and discoveries merge, can copy ships/multitools back to primary (if you read up on how to do that) but not freighter. phase and final expedition rewards (inc normandy) are unlocked account wide

[deep berry]

Perfect. Thank you

Fishing can be a pain in the.... thruster sometimes

Cuz u just fish in a storm with magnet lures for LIKE AN HOUR and you're STILL NOT GETTING ANY STORM FISH ISTG

[mossy glen]

I wanted to thank you again for the disconnecting internet suggestion

[warm gyro]

I caught my fish in a few minutes, once I found a correct planet, with the animal kibbles, no less:) I think RNG has a lot of presence in this game? Coulkd be wrong, usually am hehe.

So I want to ultimatelt swap out lesser upgrades and wind up with S class in all my things?

Again that was only the few for this campaign. Never fished before. I wear bk out with questions Ha!

[wintry perch]

Anyone know where I can watch for news about what the next expedition is, either a rerun or a new expedition? 😅

[languid spoke]

@remote thunder any idea what the reason is behind not being able to copy 'back' the same ship that you copied into the expedition (with different modules). i know i still have the original (i can't even after salvaging the original).

[remote thunder]

should be exp12 rerun

[misty plinth]

Was the ship set as primary when you returned to the expedition terminal?

[languid spoke]

yes

[wintry perch]

Aw cool, thanks for your help 🙏

[languid spoke]

i am still in the expedition, so it might be that is one reason but i wanna know if i will be able to copy it after i end the expedition

[misty plinth]

As long as you have an open ship slots and nanites you should be able to copy it back into the primary save

[remote thunder]

you should be able to yes.

[languid spoke]

because i can copy my MT

[remote thunder]

you should be able to make multiple copies even, even without scrapping

[languid spoke]

which is weird

i know i was able to copy over a ship i have not redeemed on the main save

maybe i should just transfer all the new modules onto a different ship just to make sure

i find it peculiar that the option to copy is greyed out on the ship and i am sure i have not copied the same ship from the current expedition as i didn't have any free slots before tonight

i have not completed the expedition , just wanna make sure i can actually copy the ship with the modules so i don't have to transfer the modules separately over

[remote thunder]

i'm testing this rn

btw, had to confirm it, but changing active ship doesn't influence it

[languid spoke]

i'm saving and loading from restore to rule another possibility out out

[remote thunder]

that's the exp terminus in main save

"resume expedition" button lower left

[languid spoke]

it is just weird that this time the MT button is fine but ship button is greyed out

[remote thunder]

and you're saying that not even scrapping the original, it will let you copy it again?

[languid spoke]

i scrapped the copy that the current one was made from, the original original is still on my save

[misty plinth]

It's saying on the greyed out button the ship has already been copied - in the screenshot

[languid spoke]

i made a copy at the start of exp16, copied that back into main and made a copy of that one into exp2R

[remote thunder]

i'm on my primary save

utopia speeder = ota something rl2

[languid spoke]

i still have the original that was not used to make a copy for exp2R

[remote thunder]

i can't copy "ota", which is infact the speeder i copied into expedition

[misty plinth]

So this is borked for everyone at the moment?

[remote thunder]

now

if i scrap speeder,

it has to let me copy ota in

[languid spoke]

'I' can work around this cause i only need the modules so copying any other ship as a carrier works for me, but this looks like unwanted behaviour to me

[remote thunder]

scrapped speeder, and now i can copy it

the difference between this and iron vulture is that iron vulture made different seeds iirc when copying

this is still the same seed

[languid spoke]

i'm not even using an exotic

i'm using a sentinel

[remote thunder]

not about what kind of ship, it's a matter of seed

[languid spoke]

so not even a reward ship

why did it work last expedition though?

unless there is an undocumented fix for loopholes to make copies of ship with the same seed

[remote thunder]

because vulture works differently, it's a ship that can be salvaged for parts for ship building

when you copied it, it got different seeds iirc

[languid spoke]

but i'm not using a vulture

[remote thunder]

precisely

expedition terminus and iron vulture together works differently, bypasses the need to scrap existing ship before copying

i could copy multiple vultures without scrapping, yes, but that wasn't ever a thing before vulture

[languid spoke]

but that still leaves the question why it worked last expedition and not now

[remote thunder]

i didnt try it last expedition so i can't confirm yes or no

if you say it worked i believe you, but maybe devs changed it, or changed something that bugged it

[languid spoke]

well i guess i'll just copy over a different ship to carry my modules to avoid cleaning out the inventory of my original ship, inventory management becomes such a hassle with the amount of items in the game, especially in permadeath

but good to know for the future to avoid more hassle

i'll just make a copy of an expedition reward and that is good enough for any expedition

[quasi prawn]

someone remind me how to obtain faecium?

[supple sedge]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Faecium

[quasi prawn]

i dont see the fishing rod as a reward, do i have to unlock it myself?

[supple sedge]

pretty sure it is a reward

[misty plinth]

Phase 2 - The Pilgrim - Walk 2.5K units

[quasi prawn]

yea im blind

[warm gyro]

If I scrap my old Starship, do I need to be in it at the station to scrap it?

I just left a planet with faecium nodes, minable. This map is HUUge

[remote thunder]

yeah, to scrap a ship, it must be equipped first

scrapping station wont let you pick from a list

[warm gyro]

I thought so, then how to get back to my good ship? From the trade station?

A choice may be nice, but too easy 🙂

I need to find some ships to scrap to update mine. Got a real good video tabbed hehe

Ima do it, see what happens. I like this game for that mechanic.

[exotic fiber]

Someone please help me out here. Not a NMS problem but is relevant to this channel right now.
There’s been a thing with Discord that I NEED to know but I’ve failed to figure out for a long time.

[remote thunder]

game will just spawn the first ship in your save file slot, so you can always fly out - also can't scrap last ship

[warm gyro]

It` just keeps gittin better 🙂 ty kindlee

[exotic fiber]

Sometimes I’ll ask a question in a very active channel in a large server such as this, and someone will reply and I’ll get a ping about the reply but can’t check it immediately.
So later I’ll open the thread (which still has the red ping icon next to it), but there is way AFACT tell to get the app (neither the mobile nor desktop version) to specifically show me the message that is a new reply to one of mine!

Only way I can try to find it is to scroll through the whole list of comments until I find it, BUT sometimes there can be 1000 new comments since I was last in the channel, and I am not very good as skimming (my eyes often scroll right past the thing I’m looking for without noticing it).

[remote thunder]

@exotic fiber personally i just discord search for mentions to me in whatever channel i need

[exotic fiber]

“Discord search for mentions” ok by phrasing it that way I was just now able to figure out how do that in the search feature. Thank you!

[remote thunder]

you did? 🙂 😄 nice! ok good, i wasn't sure if that would do it :))

[exotic fiber]

(I tried using the search feature here on mobile app before asking but I didn’t know how to factor in the drop down menu with the “mentions” option.
My computer is turned off right now but hopefully it works the day way on there. )

[remote thunder]

on discord desktop it works reliably enough or so i've found

[quasi prawn]

it feels like every system has been discovered

[quaint urchin]

I opened the Galaxy Map on my freighter and started warping to the right of the Rendezvous 4 until I had travelled around 1000 light years away and then I selected a Pirate System. The first one was discovered, so I found another one around 200 light years away and it was not already discovered. Then I made jumps to nearby systems until I had completed all 8. In total I think I went to about 13 or 14 systems to do this. Having said that, you might want to try disabling your Internet connection so Online Discovery Services cannot determine what systems have already been discovered and then it will think you are the first.

[warm gyro]

can we not get black holes now?

Unbelievable. I went back to game and a black hole is right in front of me.lams

[warm gyro]

Been warping for 30 minutes. But

[lost heart]

Make sure you max out your hyper range to stretch the fuel

[elder yarrow]

I found a blackhole, then started chaining them until I eventually wound up in a system that was undiscovered , then red star hopped after that until I got the 8 needed for the expedition.

[broken tusk]

bk never sleeps >.>

[indigo falcon]

warp max distance in a random dir a couple times, then ask Polo for black hole coords, pass through that, if still disocvered, repeat, shouldn't take more than 2-3 black holes to get it. don't just look for the nearest black hole when exiting from one, because they are fixed destination things.

it doesn't hurt to look for blue or red or uncharted systems if you have the capability, too, upon arrival in another region

ckay, huh 😄

[wary siren]

From what I was seeing online, it looks like the expedition is called the cursed..if so, what is beachhead?

[lusty slate]

Beachhead redux is a rerun of the second expedition, originally ran in 2021. This one is revised, with some changed rewards and milestones.

The Cursed is a separate expedition, it ended a few weeks ago

[wary siren]

Ahhh, and as a newbie, could I finish beachhead before it ends?

[lusty slate]

It's certainly doable. Beachhead is pretty easy. If you're new, maybe approx 10 hours.

Ok sweet, I’ll take a look and concentrate on this then for abit

Where do I find the steps? Is there a quest starter? I’d assume if it’s from 2021 there’s probably a lot of online guides from it

[lusty slate]

There are two ways to start an expedition. You can either make a new save or start from your current save using a terminal on the Anomaly.

If you're new and would like to speed things up + bring back loot for your current save, I recommend using the terminal.

Chech the pinned posts here for more detailed guides

[wary siren]

Awesome thanks

[lusty slate]

FYI, the terminal is near the Nexus area.

[civic kelp]

guys, just started the expedition

how do I access anomaly?

[twilit moss]

After you leave the start system

[civic kelp]

so if I left some materials for me to repair the freighter, well, no use of them?

thanks 🙂

[surreal tide]

I made it to the last phase and I'm having trouble with the dosimeter

[hazy sparrow]

From the walkthrough: "select the "Historiography Lesson" milestone, then buy three "Ancient Artifact Site" planetary charts from the cartographer and visit the three respective sites. Pick the "Take Dosimeter reading for Nada" option every time, and this will finish this milestone."
You may need to buy the dosimeter first from the QS vendor, I don't remember.
Also, on one of the planets other players have placed a TON of comm beacons by monoliths, so the maps are barely needed. But even after completing the quest you get 15 QS for each reading you take.

[surreal tide]

Thank you

[heady meteor]

The expedition is gonna end just before thanksgiving

[surreal tide]

I was wondering, what happens to the supplies I have in a storage containers at the end of the expedition. Do they transfer over or get converted to nanites?

[remote thunder]

you shouldnt count on that; select which resources to bring over using expedition terminus instead (note that you can use it multiple times before ending expedition

[civic kelp]

hold on, once again. how and when should I do that?

[remote thunder]

you complete and claim all milestones to be able to edit expedition terminus stash i.e. adding items into cargo/tech, put stuff in. then save (exit ship), then pause/options/return to primary. goto anomaly and retrieve resources/items, save. resume expedition again, goto anomaly exp terminus, add more items/resources, save, etc repeat

[civic kelp]

ok, thanks

[warm gyro]

By now this Exp turned into my primary so I dont need to do all that:) I had started a few chars, 3 expeditions including this on, and a delete and another new char. Heck I dont know, I just like to play. Doing black holes now. I `spect my next expedition will be on a new char? And then scav that to my main? Again, whatdaIknow lol.

[remote thunder]

next expedition, you could start it from any existing save with access to anomaly

[warm gyro]

Ohhhh, that is very cool, thankee kindly friend

question. I have been talking to aliens with ships and all the stats on the ones I am seeing are far below my stats. I still have a class a, loaded, and just looked at a class C far below my specs. I think I should look at something else? Like the C class and mine is an A?

[remote thunder]

higher class gear drops is affected by drop chance, depending on system eco tier: higher class drops are rarer

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Should I take this new ship/multi-tool/freighter?

• First of all, consider that NMS isn't the type of game that will punish you if you don't have the strongest gear, whatever the reason.
• Supercharged Technology slots and stacking Upgrade modules can make any gear be able to easily deal with anything in the game.
• Because of that, we can comfortably just own and upgrade gear we love the looks of - those are always worth the investment.
• Does new gear have more usable slots? If so, then it's probably a good upgrade, even if you don't especially like how it looks.
• That said, all gear can have its inventory upgraded, although for that a class upgrade might be needed first. There's cheap ways to get storage augment items, even for free.
• Can't class upgrade freighters though.
• Can own up to 12 ships, 6 multitools and 1 freighter at any given time.
• Remember that we can move installed technology and upgrades from old gear to new gear: just store them before going into the Exchange screen.

[warm gyro]

My add ons to my lirttle ship scaved to a class C would make the C ship rock?

[remote thunder]

pretty much

but ofc, higher class, has higher inventory upgrade limit, for example a-class will eventually access to 3 supercharged slots vs c-class 1 supercharged slot

remember that we can farm nanites to class upgrade ships and multitools too

often faster to do that than it is to battle rng for a higher class drop

[warm gyro]

Hmmm. Oh, thanks Gunter lol. That was informative what he? sent there lol

[remote thunder]

🙂 guntie's a very intelligent bot

[warm gyro]

Got it. I dont care a whit what my ship looks like hehe. I play solo and the Aliens dont care 🙂 Since my ship stats are so high now I may just upgrade it til it says class a max upgrades. Then I can upgrade class if I want?

[remote thunder]

yep

normally i just upgrade till i need to

[warm gyro]

My problem Im having is missing out on some space battles, even Sentinel ships. This ship moves like a brick hehe. No maneuverability . Cant find them and when I do, I`m going past them

[remote thunder]

what ship type are you flying? invested into pulse engine modules?

[warm gyro]

I can warp 2-300 LY. But I think I am missing something in pulse to give me more control. I still manage to get most of them but they replinish their shields faster than I do ha

[remote thunder]

feel free to post screenshot of ship tech inventory so we can post a few hints and tips, probably in -help channel would be preferable

[warm gyro]

Ok I couldn`t even find that screen shot you wanted a week ago lol. Finally found it, you were gone, I somehow made it smaller, and sent it. Someone said Jesus what is that, an ant? lol

When does the expedition end?

I already did it, just kinda base-building until the next one

Oh nvm it says when I start up lol

6 Days

Was hoping it was 2-3

[quaint urchin]

Yea, I've completed it 5 times already and I'm ready for the next one. It would have ended tomorrow if they hadn't extended it.

[barren tangle]

Question so I’m on the arctic planet trying to catch uncommon frozen world fish. I caught a fish but the counter didn’t go up. Does anyone know why

[twilit moss]

It needs to be a B, A, or S frozen type

[barren tangle]

I caught uncommon fish B type.. hmm do I need certain bait?

[remote thunder]

see <#nms-expedition message>

Only fish with rarity=uncommon or higher with ''frozen waters'' in description count

[carmine pumice]

How do you all complete uncharted? Find 8 systems to discover?

[remote thunder]

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

alternatively, you could portal away (traveler in starter system for example) instead of black holing, or disconnect from internet completely to make all systems undiscovered

[carmine pumice]

Ah okay! Thanks!

[little tide]

Most people (me, twice) did the internet method

[cerulean olive]

Only completed it once this time, since cross saves will be a thing and it isn't the most thrilling expedition. So, no need to do the expedition on several platforms anymore.

[golden forge]

I understand people wanting to take time to enjoy expeditions. If you wanted a speed run xaines world on youtube will have you done in about a hour and half for those of you that are completionists

[warm gyro]

I`m confused. Again:) If I take missions at a space station, I can only complete them in that system? Because I just handed in like 4-5 at once, but took doubles like kill critters= Whispering egg bugs

So was it just the doubles? or missions from another system?

[tough plank]

hmm I don't see the myth beacon in this store:

oh maybe I need to do this

[quaint urchin]

I probably won't take advantage of Cross Saves. I started on Xbox and my primary save there is quite different from the one I started on Steam later on. That means I will probably continue to do them at least 4 times. I do them once on a new save and again from an existing save on each platform. If they are fun I might need to do them again while just taking my time and enjoying the environment, which is what happened with this one. I do agree that some are more fun that others, but this one was really good for the way my brain works.

[grim fossil]

Don’t select expedition rewards, select “Create exotic items from Quicksilver” it will be in that selection.

[tough plank]

ty! that worked

[tough plank]

I'm having a hard time w this one

which maps can I buy at the cartographer to make it easier?

[low jackal]

distress signal or secure site I think

most of these sites will have the waypoint flag that you need

[barren tangle]

So I’m on the last phase and the last mission. I’m at the doughnut thing but the myth beacon isn’t doing anything.. just pinging. How can I fix it

[tough plank]

you gotta open ur inventory and activate the item

[barren tangle]

I did activate it and it did nothing

[tough plank]

hmm a ship should have flown above you

then you go up and talk to it in ur ship

[barren tangle]

Multiplayer is known for breaking different things

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Don't do missions in multiplayer

Missions other then Nexus Missions shouldn't be done while in a group with another player or in multiplayer instance. It can lead to a whole verity of problems.

If you are or were in multiplayer instance:

1. Turn off multiplayer in the Network Settings

2. Save and then reload your game.

If your mission destination appears to be very far you should also restart it. Open your log menu and see if there is a RESTART USING NEARBY STRUCTURES button under missions description. If its not there try to teleport somewhere far away to even to a different galaxy.
-# Some bases featured at the space anomaly's teleporter are in different galaxies.

[coarse garnet]

Is there any way to finish an expedition to go back the main save and get back items, blueprints, current rewards, etc... without finishing all the steps ?

[coarse garnet]

Sorry, didn't read properly you already reached the structure

[jagged sedge]

If you log in a non-expedition save, there should be some earned rewards you can get from the QS guy in the space anomaly

[lunar root]

Ight ty

[remote thunder]

a few hours

[lunar root]

Okay

[coarse garnet]

That's not really my question.
I am speaking about finishing an expedition started from a standard save earlier, recovering rewards and going back to the standard save

[jagged sedge]

I'm afraid I've never done that, so no idea ... sorry

I only ever start expeditions with a new save, so it won't risk corrupting my main

[coarse garnet]

I have started from the main every single time since this feature released without any issue so far.
Being able to be rewarded for the time, discoveries and actions done in the expedition regardless of its objectives is pretty nice.
Starting with stack of resources too.

[remote thunder]

without completing and claiming all milestones, phase and final rewards, you won't be able to edit the stash before expedition ends server side, but you can return to primary save at any time before completing expedition - pause/options/return to primary for example

there, you'd be able to claim any account wide unlocked exp2 redux rewards from the quicksilver shop/collect expedition rewards dialog option

[coarse garnet]

And at the end of the expedition, what would I recover in this case ?

[remote thunder]

you'd be able to access your stash to take items out

[coarse garnet]

So only those I have not yet removed and nothing from the last expedition itself

[lusty slate]

You can't access anything from the previous expedition via terminal after it's ended.

[remote thunder]

you can't? that's odd. i remember reports of players saying that they couldn't start the next expedition from a save they had run the previous expedition from, until they took out the items from the previous expedition

sounds like a very odd thing to happen, if you asked me

not being able to get items out again - the ones you hadn't taken from the stash after reaching anomaly in expedition ofc

[lusty slate]

Ahh, sorry, I misunderstood. Are they referring to retrieving the terminal items from last expedition? Not trying to access the last expedition itself?

[remote thunder]

yeah, the former

[lusty slate]

Gotcha.

[remote thunder]

(right, they're asking if, they don't finish expedition in time, if after being forced to end it, if they can get items that might still be in the stash)

[jagged sedge]

These are more reasons I start with a new save file

[remote thunder]

starting from new save is pretty much always the safest imo

personally, i think i'd recommend that, if it's a new expedition, and you want to start from existing save, give it a few days after release, see how things are going for others

[rich pilot]

Spoiler for final phase rewards.
I'm pretty happy with these stats :3 Got lucky with finding a cluster of undiscovered systems.

18 hour save

[remote thunder]

congrats!

get that expedition 2 role from #roles!

@rich pilot ^ 🙂

oh yee

[fringe sierra]

I forgotten about those

I've completed now ⅛ of the expeditions

it's something!

Hoping for another rerun after this

[remote thunder]

up next should be exp12 rerun

[fringe sierra]

I'm fine with new ones but I also gotta catch up these past ones

[magic portal]

do we know when the next expedition is?

Most likely right after this one ends

[magic portal]

And the pattern has been after each new expedition they've been doing one of the earlier ones after?

[silent knot]

with reruns, they'll rerun all of the previous year's expeditions, back to back
this and last year they've also included an older one
so we're expecting expedition 12 when this one ends, and so on up to 16

[magic portal]

after 12 they'll probably put #3 in?

[silent knot]

no

rerunning 2 is a special occasion, only expeditions 12-16 were expected

with reruns, they'll rerun all of the previous year's expeditions, back to back

[fringe sierra]

So there just never running the earlier ones again?

[silent knot]

maybe they will, maybe they won't

we don't know

[neat latch]

They may.

I can’t wait for this rerun to end.

[silent knot]

it'll be nice

omega happened before i picked up nms, so i'll get a chance at that

I hope Christmas goes well. 🙂

Who the hell thought Uncharted was a good idea for a milestone

[remote thunder]

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

alternatively, you could portal away (traveler in starter system for example) instead of black holing, or disconnect from internet completely to make all systems undiscovered

[keen ember]

Def gonna try a black hole soon

[remote thunder]

remember, warp up or down or left or right, most players warp towards the core, forward. ship hyperdrive modules are easy to get if needed, for range and fuel efficiency.

[fringe sierra]

Lol I prefer a gyroscopic 360 no scope type of selection 🤣🤣🤣

[lusty slate]

It's just RNG, unfortunately.

[remote thunder]

@deft creek yeah, like Morgeil said, just got to keep fishing really. i did use rarity bait, still took a few tries. that said, if it's not working atm, and you still have other milestones left to do, leave the fish one behind for now (maybe drop and claim a base computer before leaving if you haven't already so you can teleport back later and try again)

What’s was Omega about?

[viscid crown]

So I turned off multiplayer and loaded into my expedition and then it auto completed by reach the 3rd and 4th rendezvous, is there any explanation to this lol

[remote thunder]

atlas

[remote thunder]

weird - just like that? definitely recommend raising a bug report. did you happen to have save+exited in the anomaly the last session?

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[wide totem]

For part where you need to find ruins for Nada, do they need to specifically one from each system? (Gek, korvax, etc) or can I do 3 in the same system?

[remote thunder]

can be all on the same planet

[viscid crown]

Nah I was going to the third expedition point and I ran out of warp cells and I wanted to go to bed so I was like I'll just log out on my freighter and come back.

Online told me that if I went in on offline mode then I could do the discover systems faster so I disconnected my internet and opened and then when I loaded it in it just finished the third rendezvous and fourth rendezvous but only those ones my other missions were still in tier 3 and 4 were still in progression aha

No complaints because it just sped up my finishing haha but I'll raise a bug report just to see

[remote thunder]

yeah, that's weird, going offline shouldn't really have triggered any milestone completion! 😅 yeah, definitely raise a bug report when you get a bit of spare time

Hi I'm new here wanted to see what's about

[split moat]

Guys , how do i activate The mythical emitor?

[remote thunder]

select echoes through the ages milestone, then unpause, wait for/force cycle the mission hint lower right of the screen by pressing H or dpad left till you see the hint relevant to the milestone at hand: what does it want you to do? fwiw, i activated this milestone for the first time when i was in rendezvous 5 system

[remote thunder]

expedition is a time limited game mode, with a unique set of rewards that can be unlocked account wide, iow, claimable once in every save, present or future, under the same account. type !faq-expedition in #bot-spam to get more info, also on how to start it

[pallid seal]

Appreciate that

[remote thunder]

anything else just ask

[remote thunder]

normally they just drop it - we believe the next rerun to happen will be expedition 12

[split moat]

I m not sure if i understood

Btw how do i go far away from systems in The expedition ? I cant find new systems lol

[remote thunder]

what milestone do you have selected, first off

[split moat]

The One to activate The emitor

[remote thunder]

"echoes through the ages", is that correct.

[remote thunder]

does that mean, "myth beacon"

[split moat]

I guess

[remote thunder]

post a screenshot

[split moat]

I have this on portuguese

[remote thunder]

i can read portuguese

post a screenshot of the mission Log

[remote thunder]

echoes through the ages, exactly

@split moat switch to Log (Registo), what's the mission selected there

feel free to state name in portuguese

[remote thunder]

(for this, follow this link <#nms-expedition message>, scroll down till you see "Phase 4 Uncharted")

[split moat]

Thanks a lot

[remote thunder]

what about echoes through the ages, how are you doing on that?

um eco através do tempo hehe

engraçado ver a tradução em português 😄

back to english though, promise 🙂

[split moat]

I just did it 🙂

Im on The last mission now

And i need to find 8 systems

[remote thunder]

good good, glad to hear it - should be smooth sailing from here on; remember to read the link for discover systems milestone, and that pressing H or dpad left multiple times forces hints to cycle

[exotic fiber]

so do i have to wait until the expedition ends before im able to send items from the exp save back to the main save? I went to the terminal on the anomaly just now and that seems to be the case.

[remote thunder]

yes

[exotic fiber]

sigh

[remote thunder]

either that, or complete and claim all milestones/phase and final rewards

[split moat]

Im on a black hole system now but i dont see The hole

Is it bugged ?

[solemn bane]

Hole can be hard to find sometimes.

[languid spoke]

it'S on the radar if you are in 1st person view in the ship

oh I got more time than I thought

[warm gyro]

Thanks. But I forgot about the new? mineral Atlandium? <sp>

No old video lol. But let me check my stuff:) ty

[remote thunder]

atlantideum? refines to pugneum on its own, and from there to nanites yeah, but that'd be slow, a lot slower than sus packets tech/arms

[blissful onyx]

there's fishing too but it's far slower than the sus packets

fish and release gives some

[remote thunder]

yep, there's releasing fish ^ easy one too

[blissful onyx]

I believe the rarer the fish the more you get

Idk the cap though

[remote thunder]

yeah

[blissful onyx]

I think 1000 for the top rarity?

or 600

I forgot

[warm gyro]

Yeah just saw. I have to sort through how to get or make, from the chafe, get em fast which is not what I want. Well yeah, but not cheesy. Fishing gets nanites?

[blissful onyx]

It does when you release them in the inventory yea

You gotta be in space or in the water to release

they might have patched the eject the fish out of the airlock thing though

[remote thunder]

hmm, no, it wasn't that much, some 200 nanites iirc, was a little more than cronus rewards i remember

[blissful onyx]

oh wow that's low actually

for a exotic rarity

[remote thunder]

oh wow i didn't get to see that - fish out of the airlock that's funny! 😂

[blissful onyx]

Id just do the packets from pirate systems

[remote thunder]

same

[warm gyro]

Ohhhh. Man so much to learn so little time 🙂 You mean in my inv, like clicking on them right? I caught my fish for the exp in like 15 minutes, including learning how to fish. RNG

[blissful onyx]

I had a laugh the first time I tried it and it worked lol

that poor octopus

[blissful onyx]

Yea it'll say interact to release

Like how you do to eat something

right, you just stand next to water, open inv, cursor over fish, press relevant button

😂

[wide totem]

I found a rare solar sailer, does that count for anything

[ocean gorge]

Finding a ship is mostly a matter of you liking it or not

[warm gyro]

quick question 2 part. Claimed another shipdo I need to repair it to flyable before it will come to me on my freighter?

And should I repair all those damaged things in it before salvaging it to get better scrap? I might keep it though a class higher than my og lol

bk how do you know so much about the game? Just curious.

[wide totem]

No.

[remote thunder]

not necessarily, in hanger you'll be able to summon any ship; if you're still at 6 or less ships, just resummon freighter it will be there

[remote thunder]

fixing cargo slots will raise scrap value, but wont increase the chance to get storage augmentation (ship inventory upgrade item) or upgrade modules. scrap value is dropped in items in player inventory, which player can then sell for units

[remote thunder]

been playing and learning about the game since 2018, so yeah, accumulated lots of info

[warm gyro]

wow. I played 7Dtd 10 years and still don`t know how to play

JK lol

[ocean gorge]

@obsidian parcel yes, buried caches count for the buried treasure milestone, you can find those on almost any planet

[warm gyro]

tyvm, this ship is way better so just leeave my old ship ans carry on with this one? OI repaired necessary stuff and slots

[ocean gorge]

And you don’t need maps for the buried caches

[obsidian parcel]

wait so does the digits cartographic data map lead me to them?

[warm gyro]

Thanks all

[obsidian parcel]

oh ok

i play in creative a lot

[ocean gorge]

You can just use your scanning visor for those, the buried caches. You’ll need maps for other things

[obsidian parcel]

could u tell?

[obsidian parcel]

ok thanks

and all planets have these?

[ocean gorge]

I don’t think all of them do but almost all will

[obsidian parcel]

omg what is the map for the ruins called

there is like 6

[ocean gorge]

Ancient data

[obsidian parcel]

ok ty

[obsidian parcel]

ok

wait none of them say ancient data

[ocean gorge]

This is very helpful guide for many of the milestones

#nms-expedition message
it’s also in the pins

Sorry, ALIEN data

Which is included in that post I sent you (talks about getting alien charts)

There’s also a list of all the rendezvous points with coordinates, very helpful

It’s further down in the pins

[wide totem]

I’ve been at it for an hour, and no beans

🤔

I think I was at the wrong place

[wide totem]

Ok so full disclosure, I’m completely lost

[remote thunder]

trying to get an exotic to spawn?

[wide totem]

Yes

I noticed that my coordinates don’t match the post

They said it is in the rendezvous 5 system

I’m in that system, but when I take a picture, my coords aren’t the same

[remote thunder]

all glyphs should match, but the first one doesn't matter if it doesn't match

rv5 is Gamihar

have you seen the exotic of that system yet?

[wide totem]

Ok, that’s the one that doesn’t match

The first one

I’m in gamihar

[wide totem]

No

But I’ve been at a trading post for over an hour and no dice

[wary siren]

I was working on the expedition and used my 5 distress signal charts…the one for the freighter was on my display, buiuuut now it’s gone and I can see it anywhere? And the charts gone so can’t like use it again

How would I get it back?

[ocean gorge]

I’m not sure but you can always buy more charts using nav data from the cartographer
Maybe someone else has other suggestions (usually marked sites you haven’t visited persist, even through reloads so idk)

I’ve done the expedition, now on my 3rd run (I have several platforms I play on) and each time the first chart led to the crashed pilot, and the second chart led to a crashed freighter, so I’m surprised you needed to use all those charts

[wary siren]

I was following a guide of use 5 charts to I guess get the variety before you do them…I didn’t really do them in order…I wasn’t sure if the order mattered

[ocean gorge]

You can do milestones in any order. But those charts should have directed you to the crashed pilot if you had that milestone selected, then the crashed freighter after (since that milestone follows the crashed pilot one), unless you selected a different milestone in the expedition section🤷‍♀️

Milestones should also autocomplete if you happen to meet their objectives (like the walking and flying distance ones for example)

[wide totem]

Am I doing something wrong?

[remote thunder]

ah that's just spawn chance - .333% for exotics, you're not doing anything wrong

[wary siren]

Ya I did the pilot, but then went to a different one after where I had to map 5 points, either way it’s gone 😢

[remote thunder]

no worries

do you still have emergency chart markers up in that system?

or did you clear them all?

[wary siren]

I guess I need to buy more charts? Is that from the station I assume

[remote thunder]

yeah, cartographer npc, right side when your back's to the station entrance

will need nav data

[wary siren]

No , I had to log out for abit and when I came back the markers were gone from my map

Are the distress charts random? Like should I get more to make sure I get the freighter again? Or will it only give me the freighter since that’s the one I didn’t do

[remote thunder]

strange because they should have remained up; were you playing with mp enabled?

<:info:850810445577453658> How to effectively use charts to locate specific targets:

1. If a chart type e.g. Alien can locate 3 building types, then to guarantee that you find the building you want you will need to obtain as many charts e.g. 3 Alien charts

2. If the first chart you use doesn't mark the building type you need, do not visit it.

3. Spam Use as many charts of the same type as needed, until you have the HUD marker to the building type you need.
   The message "Similar location already marked" appears when a chart tried to mark a building type that is already marked on the HUD - ignore it and spam Use chart key/button until it goes through.

Additional Notes:

• Outlaw space stations do not spawn cartographers.
• The message "Locational interference detected" appears when a chart is used in an Uncharted aka Uninhabited system.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

so you buy 5 emergency charts, and you can guarantee that, even you have to use all 5, one of those markers will be a crashed freighter

If the first chart you use doesn't mark the building type you need, do not visit it.

just keep on popping charts and ignoring markers that don't matter/spamming through errors

[wary siren]

Kk I’ll try again thanks

[rapid spindle]

If I started a new save for the specifically for Expedition, then deleted it. Would that let me restart the Expedition off of my primary save at The Anomaly? Asking this for a friend

Aight thanks

[low jackal]

it doesn't conflict at all

you can start as much expedition save as you like

[woeful osprey]

another redux of beachhead?

[solemn bane]

Each save can do each expedition one time (in a row).

[hazy sparrow]

For those still trying to get the red squid at Beachhead Rendezvous 5/Gamihar, it's definitely worth waiting and retrying. I have been to 3 other systems that have red squid and none of them have a supercharged slot layout as good as the Gamihar one, which is 2 adjacent boxes and the other in a line with one box between them.

[tiny wagon]

so hard to find unexplored systems at this point

[blissful onyx]

Go up and down, find black holes

Also yellow stars with 2 planets less likely to be explored

@tiny wagon

[tiny wagon]

thank you

i've been at it for an hour already

[blissful onyx]

Good luck, your welcome

[solemn bane]

And if that takes too long you can just turn your internet off/go offline in Steam before you open nms, etc.

[blissful onyx]

Yea

[tiny wagon]

excellent

these are my last two quests and i wanted to finish them tonight

[tiny wagon]

you are my favorite person rn

[solemn bane]

Haha, yeah. After realizing all the benefits of playing offline I do that almost exclusively now. Also means no stupid communication balls or 5,000 icons constantly crowding my horizon.

[tiny wagon]

i have a friend i like to play with, but they wont be on until this weekend and im speedrunning this tonight

i think im on.... hour six?

[civic kelp]

hi, what happens to nanites and money when I finish expedition? are they lost?

[low jackal]

If you start with an existing save:
all units, nanities and QS you earned are transfered to your main save

if you stated a new save: it remians there and your expedition save become a normal save

[still junco]

is there an easy way to find unexplored systems?

[misty plinth]

The easiest - and what may be the cheesiest - is to disconnect from the internet then start warping.

[still junco]

cool thx man

All right this caught me off guard

[snow ruin]

Follow one of the speedrunning guides for it?

[bold atlas]

I don't have my computer at hand

But I will do as much of the thing as soon as I return

[snow ruin]

No computer in college?

[bold atlas]

No, it's just that I cannot fit the computer into the backpack when it's filled to the brim with all the stuff you need to paint

So many tubes of acrylic paint

[snow ruin]

Hahaha. A practical education is good, IMO

[wraith junco]

Fought of getting something like this ? #off-topic-bond-james-bond

For all the tubes and paints.

[bold atlas]

I mean. I am studying art after all

[snow ruin]

I figured. Would be a bit weird to bring paint to school otherwise, IMO XD

[civic kelp]

thanks

[civic kelp]

what I did was I jumped through black holes 3 times

then like 3 warps

and 8 uncharted systems in a row

[wary siren]

Everything you get during the expedition you get to keep when it’s over right?

[lusty slate]

All phase rewards are account wide and can be claimed on all current and future saves on that account.

If you started the expedition from an existing save via the space Anomaly terminal: units, nanites, quicksilver, bases and discoveries are automatically merged to your main save when you return. You can also select tech and items to take back to main through the terminal, same method you used to take items in.

If you started the expedition from a fresh save via the start menu: the game auto converts into a normal save that can be continued. But no non-phase rewards can be transferred to other saves.

[dusk stirrup]

the rest of the expeditions this year are gonna be reruns right

[wraith junco]

Yeah. Probably

[wary siren]

Awesome thanks, so things like I just got a multi tool slot unlock, it’s ok to use that in the expedition, and it will still be there when I’m done?

[remote thunder]

if you want to bring those back into primary save, cancel out of the inventory upgrade UI after claiming the milestone, and it will drop the reward in inventory upgrade items instead (be sure to have free cargo slots) e.g. multitool expansion slot, exosuit expansion unit

[wary siren]

So if I do things like upgrade my suit or tools, ships etc they do not come back, so only do what’s needed, is that right? But you can bring back what’s in your inventory

[remote thunder]

right, when it comes to applied inventory upgrades, exactly, they won't be merged back with gear or exosuit in primary save. when it comes to multitool and ship though, it's possible to copy ship(s) and multitool(s) from expedition run, and those copies retain applied inventory upgrades and installed tech/upgrade modules (iow no need to package tech/modules if you intend on copying ship+mt anyways)

[wary siren]

Great thanks

[deft creek]

Father BK
I come again to you for help.... I can't find any systems that haven't been discovered yet

I'm writing here becoz it's one of the milestones in phase 4

[keen ember]

Go through a black hole, chances are you’ll also need to warp a fair bit

[deft creek]

Ye...I've been warping for quite a while

Lemme-....how do u get access to black holes again?

[keen ember]

You get them from Polo in the anomaly

[deft creek]

Ye just checked

Thx :3

[remote thunder]

@deft creek remember, most warp forward or backward, but galaxy map also goes up, down, left, right

[deft creek]

Ik ik :3
I've tried going all over the place but apparently everyone went all over the place

Safer being thousands of lightyears away than a few hundreds

[warm gyro]

A couple black holes hooked me up

I couldn`t see the first black hole in front of my face lol

[deft creek]

Lol

[warm gyro]

Lots of help here.

[remote thunder]

both times, i warped about 1000LY from expedition route, then asked polo for bh coords, went through: then warped up the first run, down on the 2nd run - 1 warp was all it took to be in an undiscovered region

[frosty wing]

just finished the exped, for that mission of undiscovered systems, i had copied in my main ship with its overcharged hyperdrive (save editor, actually why i got save editor after i found out about this upgrade)

i warped like 20,000ly all around in three or so jumps and found a nice cluster of undiscovered systems

man - if theyre releasing previous expeds again over time, maybe everyone can get that upgrade normally in main saves finally?

[ocean gorge]

What upgrade are you talking about? I only know of the singularity engine but that’s for freighters, not ships

[lusty slate]

Myself, I teleported to the starter system. Three warp jumps and then got coords from Polo. Dropped me in undiscovered space first time.

[ocean gorge]

Not sure what upgrade you’re talking about, like I said I only know about the singularity engine for freighters, but it’s not for ships
Not everyone wants to mess with save editing, I don’t think every platform can use that tbh but even if they can, again not everyone wants to use that (I don’t have anything against those doing it of course, since everyone can play however they want)
As far as the distances, you can easily achieve that by using black holes. Here’s one jump I made using a black hole during the expedition to reach undiscovered areas, for example

[snow ruin]

You can also disconnect from the internet while doing that milestone to make it (maybe too) easy

[deft creek]

Lol

I already did it
legit >:)

[ocean gorge]

For Switch I used a black hole to reach some undiscovered areas
For PS5 it was easier for whatever reason (maybe just picked a better area)
Will be doing it soon on Series X😂
Didn’t turn off internet for any of them

[brazen spire]

Im the only one cant complete Take photo of planet ?

[thick umbra]

An airless Planet ?

[brazen spire]

All

I Take screenshots, but Nothing complete

[thick umbra]

Did work for me ..in the starter system ... in case of airless .. make sure that there are no plants .. but you need to land on the planet

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message> pinned post:

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.

[remote thunder]

i got the milestone twice, and didn't land - but we do have to drop low enough to see top left notification "entering planet atmosphere"

[thick umbra]

ah ok .. nice to know

that speeds it up a bit 🙂

[brazen spire]

Maybe i leave photo mod to quickly then

Ok i just figure out

The screenshots Button on thé Xbox controller cant be use for this task

[wise thicket]

obtain

could have spent an hour less if i didnt have to wait for frigate expeditions lol

[twilit moss]

You could have sent/canceled

[wise thicket]

whar

[pastel aurora]

That is the weakest black hole I've ever seen. Only 120k light years? Mine always take me 700k to 1.5 million

[wise thicket]

ive had a black hole take less then 100k before

[twilit moss]

Start the mission, then cancel them at the mission room terminal. Rinse/repeat

[wise thicket]

so youre saying i didnt even need extra frigates

[twilit moss]

The real reward is the friends we made along the way

[bold atlas]

all right how do I do the discover 8 systems?

[snow ruin]

Several ways, described in the pins ;P
The first one would just be warping to new systems you can see until you discover 8 new systems nobody else has seen

[ocean gorge]

Doesn’t really matter, it accomplished what it was supposed to do😂

[versed mantle]

Yeah, I did it while disconnected from the ods. Personally it didn't feel much like cheating though, because I play on switch and I frequently put it to sleep without quitting the game (I'll pause it that way even if I'm just getting a drink of water or something), and whenever I do that it disconnects and doesn't reconnect unless I do so manually, so 80% of my playtime is conducted while disconnected lol
I'm pretty much never connected unless I connected on purpose for some reason or I just started my play session

[thick tundra]

how long is this exp

I hope I didnt miss it, was busy with exams

[snow ruin]

A few hours

[thick tundra]

got it

[snow ruin]

So you should be able to get it done in time. Especially if you use the pins here to help you get things faster

[viral crown]

uhh hey is anyone else having issues with the myth beacon step?

[snow ruin]

What problem did you have?

[viral crown]

both me and my gf can't seem to complete it, it keeps leading us to a boundary failure (or at least near one), telling us to land to being our search, then nothing. waiting and/or trying to use the myth beacon seems to make a new waypoint at a completely different boundary failure, which does the same thing.

[snow ruin]

You're in multiplayer mode?

[viral crown]

yea

i mean it's an expedition so i imagine we have to be right?

[snow ruin]

First I would suggest you both turn off MP, since that's been a problem for a lot of quests in NMS

[viral crown]

damn, was hoping to fully finish it alongside my gf since we made it this far together, but i'll give it a shot

[snow ruin]

Once you've done that step you could turn MP back on and continue, but just be aware that MP often is the cause of problems

[viral crown]

gotcha

shame about that, noticed we can't park our freighters next to each other either :/

[snow ruin]

Take it as the Atlas sent you to two different timelines and you have to do that thing to get back to the same one

Yeah, unfortunately there are a fair amount of things that don't work that well with MP in NMS. But as long as one is aware of them and can try to get around them it's okay

[viral crown]

it worked!!

[snow ruin]

Yay

[misty plinth]

It's been mentioned that you can switch between primary save and expedition save to bring almost everything "home" out of an expedition. Is this true or false? If true then what is the process?

[severe mantle]

now i have the ghost fleet and normandy

quite the diverse fleet

one being dead and the other not even being from this game

[quaint urchin]

After completing all milestones the terminal you started the expedition from will unlock so you can put items in it. Load up the terminal and then use the "Options" menu to "Return to primary save". Do not use the terminal to End Expedition because that will finalize and end it. When in your primary save, unload the terminal and then use the terminal to "Resume Expedition". Repeat as needed until you've transferred everything and copied all ships and multitools you want to keep.

[warm gyro]

How do we get an atlas pass?

[misty plinth]

Unlock it with nanites on the anomaly - the terminal is to the left of Iteration Perses the Exocraft specialist.

[frosty wing]

i accidentally went through a black hole during an expedition (for the iron vulture). it caused a glitch that prevented me from completing a single mission and i missed out on the phase completion and final reward

i was simply too far away to fix the issue. so i found a solution should it happen again (and yes i forgot about using the space station to teleport back before restarting with local buildings)

[feral iris]

so i finished the expedition and collected the ship before i had my first frieghtor, am i just out of luck and don't get the expedition ship now or is there a way to re-redeem the ship?

[low jackal]

Don't you like, start on your freighter in this expedition?
