[copper niche]

Also you need the nanites to afford it

Yes

[dapper sparrow]

Does scanning stuff on the rendezvous planets other than just the 3 things the game tells you to do increase research progress regardless?

[blissful onyx]

Yes

Beside the nexus

[dapper sparrow]

👍

[blissful onyx]

Oh I was saying yes to the other guy

[dapper sparrow]

Better get scanning then.

[blissful onyx]

One sec

I believe it does yes

[dapper sparrow]

Oh.

Alright.

[copper niche]

Is that a no for freighter transfer by the way?

[smoky axle]

idk, but I thought I saw someone ask earlier and was told no

[lusty slate]

Freighters from expeditions can't be transferred to main, no.

Okie. Got everything ready to power run Omega tomorrow.

[copper niche]

Darn

[pastel aurora]

Does anybody know if companion eggs obtained from the optional expedition missions are claimable at the quicksilver synthesis guy, or do they need to be transfered over?

[tired badger]

What did everyone bring back from the expedition? I’m prob gonna finish it tonight and besides the obvious (ship, staff, helm, etc), wondering if I should just cash out my chips or if there’s any other rarities I should bring back. Will the posters and decorations xfer back?

[copper niche]

I think if they're not expedition phase rewards, you're not allowed to take them through unless you keep them in your invetory transfer

[pastel aurora]

Ok, I'll wait to open them until after I transfer them to my main save then

[blissful onyx]

What's the main rewards from this other than the staff?

[tired badger]

Ship

[pastel aurora]

Helmet, jetpack, 3 posters, a unique starship, nanites, and quicksilver

[tired badger]

THE SHIP COME ON

[alpine topaz]

this expo is fun

feels like lots of progress and its not complex.

[blissful onyx]

Ty

[alpine topaz]

except im just working out that desolate systems part

[blissful onyx]

Ship is the runner correct?

[pastel aurora]

Yes

Also, by completing the optional missions, you can get companions from previous expeditions

[blissful onyx]

Nice, I have it but I don't own it. I can get it to own now

[pastel aurora]

Just wait to open them until you transfer them back to your main save

[blissful onyx]

Oh that's cool

Companions like worm, robot and what else?

[blissful onyx]

Alright

[tired badger]

Robot?

[blissful onyx]

There's a robo warden pet

Flying ball

From a old exp

[tired badger]

Ah.

One of the bonus rewards is tied to community research for me. How does that work?

It’s like phase 3 I think

[blissful onyx]

You gotta wait for the community to reach the milestone

Or help with it to get it there faster

[tired badger]

There’s only so much I can scan. Do I have to stay in the expedition and wait for everyone to work on it or can I get it later

[blissful onyx]

oh I got plenty of time

[blissful onyx]

You can warp to other systems I think

Doesn't have to be expedition systems

You can do nothing at all and get it

Just a matter of waiting

I usually don't help cause I barely have time as is lol

Id just focus on finishing the exp then do the optional stuff

Just don't complete phase 5 until you claim everything optional

[tired badger]

It’s not hard to scan 3 things when you go to a rendezvous point. It takes me like 20s. It can literally be anything.

[blissful onyx]

Yea I usually scan all the animals when I land anyway

[tired badger]

Not complaining, btw. Just don’t know what else I can do to help

[blissful onyx]

And the cool plants if any

Id just keep exploring new systems and scanning if you wanna help

I don't think it has to be at the rendevous

Scan all the planets and in their oceans if any would probably help

[hollow osprey]

Is the multi tool you get from this any good?

The stick with the orb on the end

[tired badger]

Yes. Comes loaded with great weapons and great mining module.

[lusty slate]

Decent stats and it just looks cool.

[hollow osprey]

It does look pretty awesome, I wish it didn't clip with my cape though lol

[ashen shore]

Omega hurry up and end adrift is much cooler

Whole galaxy being abandond is a vibe

[red shale]

I started the expedition in my main save. Is there anything special I need to do to make sure I get to bring the Starborn Runner and Atlas Staff back to my main save?

[placid dew]

Hmm, if this is a rerun of Expedition 12, are there any free-to-play players in this expedition?

[fringe sierra]

Just finish the expedition the rewards are attached to ur account so any save u make u can redeem it

[hollow osprey]

Do we need to wait for the optional milestones to complete to end the expditon?

[fringe sierra]

Ummmmm nms is free too play unless u referring to paying for psn nso or Xbox game pass or whatever

[fringe sierra]

Yea

But u can switch back to main save from options so u dont "end it"

Don't end it

Lmao

[hollow osprey]

Gotcha well hopefully they finish quick lol

[fringe sierra]

Well 12 hours ago #3 was 80% complete

@hollow osprey

This won't end it and allow u to come back and fourth to also pull out multiple ships MT and all items u may have aquired

[hollow osprey]

Ok perfect thank you

[fringe sierra]

Lol I pulled out like 3 ships 2 guns and 4 of the cargo pages worth of stuff that way on last exp

[quaint urchin]

Here's my contribution. I don't know why I haven't been able to successfully find everything... Anyone find all of the Minerals on this planet?

[late needle]

Anyone got a beat on an airless planet I can get to from any of the Rendevous systems? Range not an issue I just need to know one

[blissful onyx]

Have you checked cave systems?

Or check in the north/south there may be specific regions they spawn in

[quaint urchin]

Lots of caves, under water, and tops of mountains too. Did you find them all?

[blissful onyx]

I haven't started on the expedition at all lol

If I store items in a storage unit in a base built on Expedition save can I access them when I return to primary save?

[west stump]

I’m on phase 3 on the first milestone, and I collected the second /3 lost objects but when I scan for the 3rd it just leads me back to the place of the second. Please help

[wintry void]

Any planet with Rusted Metal on will do, it doesn't need to be called airless.

[late needle]

I found this post about a system near Rendevous 2 and then I found the system, but thanks @wintry void

[wintry void]

Try a different planet maybe

[wintry void]

No I don't think so, as the storage space isn't saved to that base, but is global only on that save

[west stump]

I have to find the lost objects on the planet I’m on

[dusky oracle]

Any tips for blue star system?

[smoky axle]

Just free look and find one that way

They're somewhat rare, but it's literally a blue star so you should be able to find it fairly easily

[quaint urchin]

Change your milestone to a different mission and then change it back. This will reset it so it points you to a new location. I've had to do this several times now. Hope this helps!

[wintry void]

Make indium drive for ship and travel to any blue star system

[fringe prairie]

Anyone know how to complete the airless photo mission. Ive been to a desolate planet and nothing?

[cold marsh]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[wary siren]

I found a dead planet that worked for the airless shot

[dusky oracle]

Thanks but the real question was my position is in red system now and the blue system should be multiple jump, is there any shorter way ?

[maiden kiln]

no pretty much the same

[west stump]

Where is an airless planet. I can’t find one

[maiden kiln]

Try a red star system

[cold marsh]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[maiden kiln]

no unfortunately

[wintry void]

Redux are mainly for people who missed it last time, I do just for the fun

[wintry void]

Any planet with rusted metal on will count

[fringe prairie]

This was shared earlier today. Its a very close jump from rendezvous 2

[west stump]

I found one right as I went to a new system. Thanks

[true meteor]

There's also an airless planet close to Rendevous 4 if you've gotten further in the game and have a cadmium drive, in a system called Georgo.

[balmy aspen]

There's an airless planet close to the starter system, in the Riguska system, which also has an Atlas station in it. Just search for the Atlas Station, and you'll find it, easy

[digital oriole]

Chat, where can I get a terrain manipulator?

Nvm, I'm dumb

[mental haven]

Does anyone’s second rendezvous super far away? I’ve used 10 hyper cells and I’m nowhere close and I’m not sure if I’m doing it right

[wise meteor]

Teleport back to space station at rendezvous 1, an set off from there

It should not be far

And set rendezvous 2 as your mission objective and then follow suggested expedition path

[wintry void]

Also make sure objective is highlighted and make sure expedition route is the highlighted destination in galaxy map

[mental haven]

Thank you guys

[wintry void]

As the destination can sometimes swap without you knowing in galaxy map

[mental haven]

I think I didn’t go back after the black hole so that’s why I’m so far?

[wintry void]

Probably

[wise meteor]

I did that too. Almost certainly that is your problem

[mental haven]

Wild the black hole will take you so far

[wintry void]

Maybe 200,000ly away

[fringe prairie]

If i claim the final reward am i still able to claim the research 4 and 5 when they are ready?

[wintry void]

I think so, I did on a new save and it hasn't converted to normal yet

[keen ember]

I think i ended the last expedition with like 450,000 ly travelled because of a black hole

[gusty vessel]

Expedition seems to be bugged. I entered with a old save and already have Unstable Gel researched. Crafting it doesn't give me the Phase 3#5 Milestone.

[wintry void]

Seemed ok to me the twice i did it

But then I did both new saves

[rotund nimbus]

Gnawing at the fact that I cannot wait for the sentinel pet

[keen ember]

And just like that i hit 600,000 this expedition

[digital oriole]

Y'all know anywhere that has one?

I've been jumping systems

[misty parrot]

"Phase 3: Grand Tour: Can be done entirely in Rdv2 system (Suurazumi)"

[digital oriole]

Near where?

[misty parrot]

R2 sys isn't Suurazumi

[true meteor]

Is it worth not ending the expedition until all the optional community milestones all got met?

[candid fossil]

I'm waiting till the optional are done before I finish. Probably tomorrow by the looks of it

[true meteor]

We were actually discussing this earlier if you scroll up a bit until you see screenshots. What Renedevous are you up to? Apparently there's one near 2 and I got the one near 4.

[true meteor]

Yeah I think I'll do that too.

[alpine topaz]

Okay it didnt work, those alternative names are different

and not airles

i just found an Abandoned and Desolate planet and it didnt substitute for Airless

[feral scaffold]

Hello if you're looking for an airless planet, I have a base built on one here here:

Hope it helps

[alpine topaz]

dumb question, i need to find a portal to use these coords obvs

funny ive played nms for ages and never really used those portals 😄

[feral scaffold]

That's correct, as far as I'm aware. I've not been playing this game for that long. Easier to find a portal on a planet than it is to find a planet in a galaxy though

[alpine topaz]

yeah absolutely

[feral scaffold]

I think you can even probably buy a map from the cartographer on a Space Station to help you locate a portal. Not sure though

[alpine topaz]

yeah il need to check thanks

[true meteor]

You'll also need to get the glyphs I believe.

[feral scaffold]

If you gather a stash of Di-Hydrogen, Cobalt, Carbon, Oxygen, Sodium and Copper. I find these are the easiest to obtain. I always travel with a stack of these in case I run into a portal and want to fast travel.

[alpine topaz]

yeahhh, you are right you need the glyphs..

[feral scaffold]

Ah damn

[cunning sandal]

Question am I the only one having a problem finding an airless planet ? Because I've done everything that I've done in the past and something changed. It's not underneath the names that used to be under

An abandoned planet should have one there was nothing there. A desolate planet had nothing. Did something change and I didn't know

[alpine topaz]

This is the best answer to Airless

Go to the 1st rendevous

[cunning sandal]

Yeah that's all I'm getting and I haven't found one yet.

[alpine topaz]

And u can line up the two black holes

And also use thr Atlas waypoint

[cunning sandal]

That's where I went I took a picture there and it said it wasn't an airless planet

[alpine topaz]

I'm about to land there I think it says Airless

[cunning sandal]

I have a base there at the first rendezvous.

its just a troll

ill return to this next week 😄

i played enough for today

[feral scaffold]

My airless base? I'm not trolling

Is it on the path of the expedition easy to get to ?

Cuz I don't have the gifs they haven't given them to you yet

[feral scaffold]

It's here

[feral scaffold]

Yeah I guess maybe not. I thought I was helping but maybe not

I didn't think about the glyphs not being unlocked

[alpine topaz]

na im talking about another spot someone posted not your one

i havent got glyphs to portal to your one

[ripe summit]

Why can't I recharge my oxygen meter when underwater? I always have to rely on the oxygen plants- it's bugged for my dad too, it goes down but when I try to recharge it still says 100% but it works fine in any other cases like heat, cold, toxic, etc.

[slender crane]

I dont think you can recharge oxygen like other hazprot, its just special that way

[ripe summit]

I've done it before though- at least i think so-

[slender crane]

With what?

[ripe summit]

Maybe it was life support nvm-

Wait

Idk 😭 😭

[ripe summit]

Then why does it show up with the water symbol if you can't recharge 😭

It's taunting me fr

[slender crane]

To show you when you drown?

[ripe summit]

Nothing says that you aren't able to recharge it underwater

Man I hate that the only avaliable information is like 4 year old reddit posts

[slender crane]

Nothing says you can either

[ripe summit]

Ah maybe you can't recharge it- I don't really swim often so my knowledge on it's hazard protection is like very limited

It just seemed bugged to me bc whenever the bar gets low the percentage still says 100%

Its like 12 am for me- dear god-

[jagged sedge]

If you install the 'respiration membrane' you can add an upgrade to it which can be recharged under water, with either oxygen or life support gel

[ripe summit]

Ooh-

Thanks

[jagged sedge]

👍

[keen ember]

So what’re you supposed to do for the community milestone (expedition research)? Just like.. scan stuff?

[digital oriole]

MAN

I found an Exotic ship while doing the expedition

I don't have enough money to buy it :(

[remote thunder]

now you know what that system's exotic looks like

grab the glyphs of the system

return later, maybe even with another of your saves

wait for it to spawn again, buy it

[digital oriole]

Thanks God I did that before leaving

@tiny gale @remote thunder I would like to say thank you. To both of these fine people for helping me and others find an airless planet today 😎👊

[pallid torrent]

yo guys im in the expedition 12 redux for the second time and im trying to do the community milestones this time (cause i forgot when i first did it) and im on the 4th rendevenouz planet and i cant complete it, the community research for it isnt done, so does it mean i cant get it till community research is 100%?

[remote thunder]

correct, and the same with phase 5's optional

got to wait

tier 4 almost done

[pallid torrent]

darn

i want that sentinal quad thing

and that also mean i cant get the 5th till the 4th is done

[pallid torrent]

can you possibly recall how long is takes on average

[remote thunder]

they've been progressing fast, probably going to complete tier 4 today or tomorrow

[pallid torrent]

oh okay

the percentage just went up 1 rn

once i get the quad ima probably drop and claim the helios,sandworm,and quad on my main and skip the biological horror, i have bad patience

[lost sphinx]

Has anyone been able to find an airless planet? I've been warping all over the place and cannot find one.

[true meteor]

Which rendevous are you closest to?

[lost sphinx]

I'm at 2. I just warped to 3.

[knotty marsh]

Should be one in the Randevous 3 system, right?

[lost sphinx]

I don't see any with Rusted Metal on them, so no...

[knotty marsh]

oh

hold on

just go back to randevous 2 and look for this one

@lost sphinx

[lost sphinx]

Alright. Thank you! 😄

[remote thunder]

i'm thinking that devs added a photograph airless world mission on some space station somewhere

people often ignore those

just because i believe they would, subtly help players

[random zenith]

that one in r3 lacks rusted metal

abandoned planet can be either desert or dead - if it's got cactus flesh then it's deser, rusted metal is dead (the one you want)

[wise thicket]

so ive already done omega previously, should i bother with doing the redux?

[remote thunder]

1. there's huge quicksilver rewards here, 10800qs from milestones alone, if we include optional milestones. 2) starborn runner comes with photonix core pulse engine tech, which cannot be learned by new saves (used to be limited edition ps4 or day1 patch tech only), so a player might decide they want to get multiple copies of starborn runner into their primary saves to get multiple copies of packaged photonix core

[wise thicket]

well i guess i might aswell get my 4th copy of photonix core

[wraith junco]

Or 12

[lusty slate]

I can do with a third. (1 to keep in the runner, 1 on whatever current ship I'm using, 1 in my curiosity storage)

[fallen bane]

so im at the end of the expedition, should i cash out or do i need to stay in limbo to get the community awards?

i know this is probably a silly anxiety-based question, but i could see cashing out blocking me.. depending

[remote thunder]

want to get sentinel quad pet and biohorror egg? then dont end

[fallen bane]

yea, kind of.. and the remaining ~free qs bonus

[inland saddle]

is there anyway to get those egg in normal game?

or those egg is only from expedition reward?

[remote thunder]

from another player

[remote thunder]

as direct rewards, they're only given in expeditions yes

[fallen bane]

cool, so its kind of an unknown and for as much as i like things from Hello, ill be likely to be blocking myself

also, if I salvage my Boundary Herald to make space in my ships, i can just qs buy it back after unlocking it, riight?

[wraith junco]

U can redeem qs rewards from qs shop once per save

[fallen bane]

Ah, so yes but limited ,, that makes sense

[wraith junco]

When redux will arrive u can copy it from exp save within normal save

[fallen bane]

the stats are good on BH, but I prefer other ships tbh

warping to this rendezvous 5 base I’ve made brings in my ship nose-first underwater jammed into the rocks

or merged to the base

i can still fly out,, its just ridiculous

[agile sundial]

I accidentally hatched my Helios egg, is there a way to transfer that companion to my primary save or will he forever live in purgatory when I end the expedition?

[fallen bane]

i think they are available post expedition and you cant transfer them orior to that anyhow?

prior

[slender crane]

When the Expedition ends, the save gets converted to normal and you can then transfer an egg from that companion to any compatible save with the help of another player.

[agile sundial]

Thank you! I didn’t make a new save for this one, I just started it off my OG save file, does that make a difference?

[slender crane]

I can't tell how people start the expeditions from established savefiles, from my knowledge expeditions always start you on a new save...

i found the sentinel ship in the expedition part 4 and then i saved loged out and now its not there anymore and dont have another card to find one. what do i do

[red trout]

I wanna do the expedition with someone

[ocean gorge]

Not sure but you can always fight a full set of waves of sentinels on dissonant planet to mark a crash site.

[potent pollen]

okay ill try

[median sparrow]

Yes that will work.

[ocean gorge]

It is not recommended to do expedition with others (can mess up claiming rewards or doing milestones) I asked bk one of our emissaries (very helpful people)

[fallen bane]

for a previous expedition i got an egg i hatched that was still available to me in the qs rewards area.. i feel like it would only make sense that the helios one could be there? i guess ill see, maybe my translucent pet egg is a special circumstance or something

i wish these community tiers would hurry up, im ready to drive the homestar runner

[potent pollen]

have killed like 50 now. still no crash site. is there a specific im looking for ?

[ocean gorge]

Once you killed all of them, it zooms out and labels a crash site. But you have to kill all 5 waves to get it to mark the site

[fallen bane]

or alternatively fly up into the atmosphere and look for those comm bubbles if doing it The Right Way isnt panning out

[blazing fossil]

Ewwww

Comm balls

[fallen bane]

im sorry if im inadvertently spreading misinformation 🙂

[blazing fossil]

They don’t deserve to exist

[blazing fossil]

Not at all

I just hate comm balls

[fallen bane]

no one likes comm balls, but it could happen to anyone

[ocean gorge]

I love it when people just choose to ignore the best advice lol

[fallen bane]

is there no way to disable them? the web says only if you go completely offline

but sometimes this relevant info is years old

[ocean gorge]

Comm balls work through ODS bk told me so if you went offline they’d disappear but you wouldn’t have ODS either. Seems extreme

[snow ruin]

They've added a terminal right by the QS vendor and QS missions where you can start the expedition from an existing save, which will allow you to then transfer some of what you earn during the expedition back to the save you started it from

[orchid stone]

where is this staff expedition? how can i start it?

[snow ruin]

#nms-expedition message

[orchid stone]

thank you

[ocean gorge]

From the expedition terminus behind the Nexus in the Anomaly

[quaint urchin]

There is now a terminal behind the Nexus in the Anomaly where you can start the Expedition from an existing save.

[ocean gorge]

If you are using an existing save that is

[orchid stone]

i only have one save? xD what can go wrong?

[snow ruin]

You can also start a new expedition save from the main menu

[ocean gorge]

It’s your choice, we used to have to always start from a fresh save

[orchid stone]

so basicly an expedition resets ur save and u start all over?

[ocean gorge]

It won’t reset an existing save, no
It basically puts an existing save on “pause” while you enter the expedition
You can freely switch between expedition mode and your regular save mode at any time while the expedition is running

[orchid stone]

ah ok, ill make copy of my save then x*D

[ocean gorge]

I think this is explained in the pins somewhere
You can preload the expedition terminus with resources and some tech (from your main save) to assist you in completing the expedition. You however can only load up this area once, you can’t keep going back and forth to stock it multiple times. But once you compete the expedition, you can fill up this same section of slots with things you want to transfer back to your main save (tech, resources, almost anything but there are a few restrictions like you can’t bring eggs over; expedition eggs can be redeemed at the QS vendor). So it’s a pretty nice system overall.

This is what I loaded up with for a recent expedition

[west stump]

Hi. I’m on phase 3 milestone 5 and I cannot figure out how to grow cactuses do harvest cactus flesh that I need to form unstable gel

[ocean gorge]

Do you need to grow them or just harvest them?

[ornate seal]

I did it differently however, i used this recipe and bought pyrite on a space station, hope this helps

[orchid stone]

too complicated xD ill skip it..

[ocean gorge]

I wouldn’t skip the expedition it has really nice rewards

[ornate seal]

besides, you can only do it once, and right now is redux so after this, the rewards are gone

[orchid stone]

well.. it seems way too complicated xD

[wraith junco]

Find desert planet that has one and gather it from there.

[ocean gorge]

The Starborn Runner is a beautiful ship and I think you get the Atlas staff too?

[orchid stone]

staff looks awsome... but seems like alot of stuff to understand... + i need to gather a heap load of cargo..

[wraith junco]

Its not really

You don’t have to take anything with you, it’s just if you want to

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

[snow ruin]

The easiest to understand is just making a new save for the expedition and just following the things it tells you to do

[ocean gorge]

Like I said, until recently, we all had to start expeditions from a new save where we didn’t have anything with us to start

[west stump]

Like a dust or scorched planet?

[broken plaza]

New to expeditions; finished Omega and just seeing how long it’ll take for the planetary research to complete before ending but I have a question; do units and nanos earned on the expedition get carried over to your primary once it’s finished?

[snow ruin]

If you started from an existing save you'll get the nanites and unites you earned in the expedition sent to your main, yes

[broken plaza]

Cool! Tyvm

[wraith junco]

U can see what plants it has before landing if u scan it

[snow ruin]

You can go back to you main save while waiting by going through the options menu and choosing "return to main save" or something like that

[fallen bane]

yea, this expedition is pretty quick and the rewards are great

[slender crane]

Thank you and @quaint urchin for explaining, that is a new feature

[grave arrow]

I think stage 4 is almost finish yall put in that extra work

[fallen bane]

its intimidating going in and knowing ill have to lose my movement, staff, ship, etc at least until the anomaly

[snow ruin]

yup, new this year, IIRC

[orchid stone]

but if i do a new save, i still get staff on main?

[blazing fossil]

Yes

[fallen bane]

but i farm dissonant planets without thinking much about it now and that springs my units fast

which in turn becomes resources, nanites, upgrades

[regal scarab]

I finished the expedition without any exosuit upgrades beyond what the expedition gave me

[lusty slate]

Whoo, QS hoarding tiiiime. starts exped

[grave arrow]

Facts

[fallen bane]

i always grab movement and cloak and then when convenient i grab preferred weapons

i cant do boltcaster.. feelsbadman

[grave arrow]

Scatter blaster all the way

[slender crane]

Pulsespitter baby

[regal scarab]

Now I did bring in my kitted out ship and MT and that made things very easy then.

[lusty slate]

I love this new thing HG has about putting something cool looking in the starter planet sky.

[fallen bane]

i do pulsespitter, but i should dabble

[grave arrow]

I can't handle the pulsesplitter fully upgraded im garbage aim so scatter blaster so I can at least hit my target

[orchid stone]

that was alot of broken ships in 1 pplace xD

and i got the fugliest one xD

[grave arrow]

With starboard runner ill have a full collection

[fallen bane]

i kept thinking about playing on the switch, maybe i should grab it and cross my fingers for compatible cross-platforming

[slender crane]

Lolll at that point just get geocannon or something

[grave arrow]

Geo cannon breaks the ground and I don't like to destroy the beautiful planets I just take what I need

[digital oriole]

New Expedition slave ship unlock

[fallen bane]

i use a controller most of the time and just aim a little lower to compensate for the kickback

but ill be im trash in comparison to most players 🙂

[digital oriole]

I love my current ship too much and I don't want to spend time grinding upgrade and storage modules for it

[fallen bane]

i really like my orange guppy and my living ship

[digital oriole]

I'm literally just gonna use it as a display piece in my Friegter

[fallen bane]

but i kind of feel like im staring at my LS butt when i fly it

[digital oriole]

Oh yeah, I just got a guppy as well

The color is doodoo tho

[fallen bane]

so i usually go guppy

[digital oriole]

It's gold and orange

Doodoo combination

[fallen bane]

im pro-orange all the things

everyone has their prefs of course

[digital oriole]

I found a white and gold on on a system while doing the expedition

I forgot the capture the glyph coordinate for it tho

[fallen bane]

i found a bright yellow one w a tail on the exped ~rv3-4 in a station and screenshotted but it isnt really my color

[digital oriole]

While guppy are slick and luxurious looking, I prefer the angrier and aggressive look of the Interceptor more

[fallen bane]

and i brought my new custom fighter into this one without thinking, so my hyperdrive was real bad

[digital oriole]

But hey, more display ships for my freighter

I'm probably gonna scrap other my A-class Interceptor to make space for more displace ship

[fallen bane]

i hesitated but ive sold off some exotics i was never going to fly

actually, what ive done more recently is Save and take that ship to a station and trade it to someone who looks like they can fly, trade ships and hire them on

but its rng dark arts, so saving is necessary

anyhow, sorry to fill expedition channel 😅

[dusky oracle]

What planet with exotic creatures?

[keen bloom]

any listed here https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Biome_-_Exotic?so=search

[random zenith]

anyone with gold on it

if it's got only 1 creature on the planet it's exotic

#nms-questions message

[dusky oracle]

Gotcha thanks

[dusky oracle]

Thanks

[remote thunder]

"this works", but i see now that you might have missed something else i added. this:

in the past, robo fauna has also counted as exotic creatures for exp milestones

so really, any planet with gold on resource list should count, for this milestone, even if it has robo fauna (2+ species)

[dusky oracle]

Good one! Thanks for the excellent tips!

[zinc wharf]

Are the last two optional(s) worth waiting before ending expedition?

[remote thunder]

they're companion eggs

sorta a player by player choice

[zinc wharf]

I’m a bit newer to the game. Is the companion eggs worth anything?

[strong saffron]

Help. Im stuck with the coockies. I make them but the quest dont go away

[fringe heron]

Combine it with something

Like starbulb

And it will work

[remote thunder]

i guess you haven't adopted any animals yet?

[zinc wharf]

I have but don’t really know what they do

[remote thunder]

combine sugar dough with something like impulse beans, or even meat

[remote thunder]

they're travel companions at their most basic mechanic

[strong saffron]

@remote thunder yes. Im following the quest, made the dough, backed 10 cokies and the quest goes back to finding weat for flour

[fringe heron]

Yeah, you have to combine the sourdough with something extra like they suggested

Starbulb, meat, impulse beans, etc

To make an exotic biscuit

rather than a simple one

[strong saffron]

Oooo. Got it

[sleek spade]

What should I bring into the exped

[covert shore]

what is the current expedition?

[fringe heron]

12 - Omega

[remote thunder]

suggestions: <#nms-expedition message>

[sleek spade]

Once I get it once can I get it again

Can you claim ship only once?

[covert shore]

cant seem to find out what the reward is for finishing it

is it that cool red staff?

[remote thunder]

account wide unlocks can only be claimed once per save, but expedition terminus allows multiple copies to be made

[unkempt kraken]

@covert shore
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Starborn Runner

An Expedition 12 reward. Wait for the devs to rerun Expedition 12 later this year. Otherwise, your alternatives are save editing/modding/service bot or another player that has one.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[fringe heron]

That one item and also the Starborn Runner ship

[sleek spade]

What happens if I only want the tech but don't wanna keep the ship

Can I get rid of it and still get it later?

[fringe heron]

And the Atlas Flight pack

I believe you can claim it later at the quicksilver merchant

[gilded orchid]

You can claim the ship once per save from the quicksilver merchant, but you can repeatedly copy the ship over from your expedition save as long as you have nanites

[sleek spade]

Yeah I'm gonna package the tech and send it to main savd

[gilded orchid]

You can copy from your main save, just don’t close the expedition

But if its tech separate from the ship, do what you plan to do

[potent pollen]

does anyone have a planet for an exotic creature i can discover for one of the last misions or mind telling me what an exotic is ?

[gilded orchid]

A planetary anomaly, like doomed jade planet, or hexagonal planet

[potent pollen]

okay ill look then

[gilded orchid]

Bunch of different names similar to those too

Too many adjectives to remember

[remote thunder]

any planet with gold on resource list

@gilded orchid ^

much easier to remember 😉

[gilded orchid]

True

[potent pollen]

okay found a planet off light. dunno if there were gold but it counted

[remote thunder]

there was

[gilded orchid]

It do

[remote thunder]

weird aka exotic biome, beam subtype

[potent pollen]

okay thx for the help 🙂 knowing all of this game takes time haha so im greatfull for ppl like u guys

[remote thunder]

we're grateful for people like you

[jolly drum]

So, I might have ruined things by moving too quickly, I've noticed that the optional 5th research project is still showing zero, even though I've already been there and scanned it. Since I can't go and rescan items there later, I'm not going to get that reward, am I?

[tiny gale]

the community as a whole has to unlock it, just dont finish finish the expedition and you will be good

[jolly drum]

So the zero progress is deceptive then.

[random zenith]

will keep it in mind

[quaint urchin]

I used the Rendezvous 1 system for the Exotic creature. Here's a screen shot of the planet in case it helps:

[fringe heron]

I accidentally hatched some of the eggs that I got from the optinal milestones. Is there a way to get them over to my primary save or do I have to wait for them to mature enough to lay additonal eggs?

[quaint urchin]

If I recall, you can't use the terminal to take Eggs back to your primary anyway. Instead, you claim them from the Quicksilver vendor in your primary save once you earned them in the Expedition.

[pliant violet]

Does anyone have a base or the planet glyphs for rendezvous 2?

[fringe heron]

Ahhh, tysm

[quaint urchin]

#nms-expedition message

[grave arrow]

The space stations for expo should have them labeled in the teleporter for all 5 rendezvous points

[open dagger]

Looks like the best use of time now that expedition is finished it to really finish it by going back to #'s 4 and 5 rendezvous planets and scan to 100% while waiting for completion on the optional group achieves.

[pliant violet]

Ok thanks for the help

[dusty elm]

Will a carrier AI fragment work the same as a echo locator to locate a sentinel ship? I've been shooting sentinels for 30 mins and never got an echo locator.

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> How to easily spawn Sentinel Freighter

Note: This only works in non-outlaw systems.

• Save+reload first.
• Repeatedly shoot the space station till wanted level 4
• Then pulse boost away from the station to lure sentinel ships away from it (we do so to avoid the infinite sentinel ship spawn behavior, we can't get to level 5 by just shooting the station alone)
• Destroy sentinel ships till wanted level goes up to 5, just wait for sentinel freighter to spawn.

(How to destroy it: fly inside the shields, shoot both shield generators on both sides, then just shoot it pretty much anywhere till it blows up.)

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

@dusty elm a carrier ai frag will locate a sentinel ship directly, and you'd have gotten one from phase 4 milestone 6

in exp12 redux there seems to be a bug with carrier ai frag

be sure to use it in a suitable dissonant ship e.g. rdv2

To complete this, you have to create a biscuit using an extra ingredient.

• Access a Nutrient Processor.
• Create Flour from Heptaploid Wheat, Glass Grains, or Kelp Rice.
• Create Processed Sugar from Sweetroot, Grahberry, or Cactus Nectar.
• Create Sugar Dough from Flour + Processed Sugar.
• Create a biscuit (or alike) from Sugar Dough + any additional ingredient with a valid result, unless the result is Well-Smoked Biscuit (Carbon/Condensed Carbon) or Chewy Biscuit (Nourishing Slime/Sweetened Mucous).

[rare cliff]

lol why is trying to find an exotic world so difficult

[remote thunder]

there's one in rdv1

[remote thunder]

^

oops, sorry for the ping MuhChicken

[dusty elm]

Here's what I'm working on. Is this something different we need to do? I found it on a webpage: Next fight sentinels on this planet. Destroying 15 of them will complete "Boundary Failure" milestone.

Continue fighting them and collecting barrels until they drop an echo locator. Restore a save point by entering and exiting your starship alnd log out to stop sentinel attack at this point.

Use the echo locator, visit the terminal with a small puzzle, let it reveal the sentinel ship, and then visit the ancient site.

[remote thunder]

Continue fighting them and collecting barrels until they drop an echo locator.
the drop chance for echo locator from just random corrupted sentinels is super low - i don't understand why some people get lucky, and then suggest others to follow the same route

personally

if i were to suggest "on foot combat"

i'd just suggest "defeat corrupted wanted level 5 on a suitable dissonant system"

that's it

nothing else to suggest

[fringe heron]

Quickest way I did it was destroying the sentinel capital ship and it gave me the location to the sentinel ship

[remote thunder]

that's through carrier ai frag yes

[remote thunder]

^ easily spawning sent freighter

do remember:

in exp12 redux there seems to be a bug with carrier ai frag - be sure to use it in a suitable dissonant ship e.g. rdv2

a suitable dissonant system is an inhabited dissonant system, with at least 1 dissonant planet that doesn't have rusted metal or gold in resource list, nor is of the infested subtype

[dusty elm]

I'm just a tad confused. Using the ai frag (the way you suggest due to bug) is to locate a sentinel ship, is that correct? is that part of a millstone?

A sentinel ship to claim, I guess

[remote thunder]

radiant flight phase 4 - be sure to, after getting to the sentinel ship marker, to interact with the ship, and then be sure to select the sentinel salvaged site helper mission on your log, not the radiant flight milestone itself

[dusty elm]

thank you for the added info on this.

[shy geyser]

Have the community research #4 & #5 been finished yet?

[fringe heron]

#4 is at 90%

[keen bloom]

so i make new saves for expeditions, if i go back into the expedition save and claim the optional milestone rewards (the eggs), will they show up in the expedition thing for my main save

[remote thunder]

yep

[lusty slate]

IMO, base building milestones are way more annoying that killing Sentinels.

[gritty hollow]

Can I bring both the ships I have on this expedition over to my main save? Is that possible?

I mean the solar sail ship and the sentinel

[inner hornet]

I have a problem in expedition 12. My ship get stuck outside the space station and I died. My tomb should be on a planet... But it is not. I se the tomb sign, but it is outside the station, and I can't reach it. Can you help me? Vr player

[muted granite]

Yes

[remote thunder]

equip a ship, save, pause/options/return to primary, goto anomaly, expedition terminus, copy ship. save. resume expedition, repeat process as many times as you need to

[remote thunder]

this might be a problem, if it's really inside the station. i assume marker isn't visible on foot, but if it is, can you reach it on foot, from the inside of the station

[inner hornet]

I tried, but it is outside and it isn't reachable by foot

[remote thunder]

and when you're flying ship, i assume it doesn't let you bump into the station enough to get it?

[inner hornet]

No, it doesn't 😭

[remote thunder]

shucks

:\

trying to think of something else

[inner hornet]

I assume that is a bug

[remote thunder]

well, i've never got stuck in a station before

[remote thunder]

yep yep

well, you could probably get some help from another player

to drop you some resources at least

[inner hornet]

Well in VR sometimes could happen, but not like this

[muted granite]

Try teleporting away and back?

No idea if that’ll work, worth a try

[inner hornet]

I would try, hope works

[slender crane]

Does the redux give any rewards the original expo did not?

Alright, thanks

[lusty slate]

Base building milestones: To finish, you need some glass.
Me: Fine
Milestones: You completed everything, great! Here's some glass.

[grave arrow]

It literally does that a few times

[gilded orchid]

Same with the underwater part, get oxygen modules afterward

[indigo falcon]

e.g. you get the scatter blaster after whacking 15 sentinels. real nice thanks

[gilded orchid]

Although I forgot you could change silicate to glass

[lusty slate]

Like, yes, thanks game for gifting me this reward that is now useless.

[gilded orchid]

A gift for someone who doesn’t need it

[grave arrow]

94% on stage 4 yall if you haven't go contribute

[gilded orchid]

Real monkey’s paw situation

[muted granite]

A gift for someone whose first experience of NMS is the expedition — “go forth, and do more of that thing!”

[slender crane]

The real big brain move here is to get the scatter blaster on your own so after, you can dualwield

[gilded orchid]

I already gave at the office

Twice

[prime wraith]

I made the biscuits but for some reason it reset that milestone and it’s making me search for wheat again?

[gaunt path]

This is normal

U made sour dough before now its having u make sugar dough

Then its gonna be like “add a lil razzle dazzle to the dough this time u basic bean”

Then the quest will be complete

[prime wraith]

ohhhhh okay

Thank you!

[gaunt path]

Yeee

[random zenith]

how is the "units earned" calculated? game says 480 million, I've bought and sold for more than that and am confused D:

[tired badger]

How are we doing on the phase 4 & 5 bonuses?

[remote thunder]

@tired badger ^

[remote thunder]

units amassed iirc

[random zenith]

scan plants minerals wildlife with your analyzer, now you have to go to the rendevouz system 4 and go to Usissi XII

[random zenith]

non-native speaker, does amassed here mean

1. max held
2. total generated
3. generated minus spent

[tired badger]

I’m trying to find out how else to help. I think I scanned the same thing as other people, so trying to see what else to check? Sorry, I’m a bit of a completionist.

[random zenith]

the game gives tips on where to find the wildlife (menu->discoveries->wildlife->scroll this list for the tips)
there's caves, there's land, there's water (maybe also deep water). check everywhere! :)

[remote thunder]

1. max held

also not a native speaker

lol

[random zenith]

eyo perfect, thanks again

[versed schooner]

more than 5% people!

[remote thunder]

almost there

[versed schooner]

Come on, we have to finish part 4 this evening

[random zenith]

wondering how much a single discovery counts towards the total

[versed schooner]

I wonder what there is left to discover on the planet x)

[tired badger]

Can you evolve the quad or horror companions like any others? Can I make a quad lil’ guy?

[remote thunder]

iirc only stat that can be changed is aggression

[wraith junco]

No size change?

[tired badger]

Horror scaredy cat

[ruby quest]

Phase 3 is so bad

oml

[versed schooner]

are you having trouble? x)

[ruby quest]

I spent 30 mins finding an airless planet

so yes

I am having a mental breakdown for a ship

[random zenith]

glad you asked

[ruby quest]

Is the ship even s class

[versed schooner]

little tip! Moons with “low oxygen” work!

[tired badger]

There’s one on the expedition route. Just past phase 1 iirc

[random zenith]

find a planet with rusted metal -> take photo here for completion

[ruby quest]

Oh okay

[random zenith]

low oxygen works because it has rusted metal :)

[ruby quest]

Wait

I started an expedition on my current account that had progress

Is that all reset?

[random zenith]

no, you can switch over to to your main save :)

menu -> options -> return to primary save

[ruby quest]

So it just made a new one?

can I always go back to my expedition?

[versed schooner]

yes :)) !

[gilded orchid]

Yes, as long as you do not end the expedition

[ruby quest]

k

[west stump]

What is, and where do I find cadmium

[gilded orchid]

Red star systems, you mine it

[random zenith]

red star systems

there it's the same as copper in yellow star systems, you'll find it (almost?) anywhere

[fringe heron]

Scan the planet to see if that element is present there

[west stump]

So scan planets in red star systems and see if it has cadmium?

[ocean gorge]

Red Star systems will always have cadmium

[west stump]

Ok. Thanks

[fringe heron]

Any change on phase 4 progress?

[random zenith]

let me see

a slick 98%

[fringe heron]

Tysm!!

[random zenith]

anytime!

[gilded orchid]

Do you have to go into the expedition to look or is there another way?

[hollow shore]

There is a command you can use in #bot-spam : !tier

[gilded orchid]

Cool, thanks

[lusty slate]

Me: There's still 11 hours left on the weekend QS, I can do it later tonight.
Me: remembers how unpredictable the ODS can be
Me: ....I'll do it now.

[lusty slate]

Taking a break. About 70% done

[ashen shore]

Can't wait for adrift lol

Omega goated for the quicksilver payout but very boring

[lusty slate]

I just want my QS.

[ashen shore]

Just doing it once ?

[lusty slate]

Truth. I forgot how dull it is...

Yeah, just doing it once from existing save. I'll get approx a 13k payout. Enough to buy up the rest of the QS store and have some left over.

[ashen shore]

Not bad

[lusty slate]

Yeah, I could have done that within a month. But running Omega again expedites it.

[ashen shore]

True I needed the omega rewards anyways too

[lusty slate]

Then I'll have plenty QS stored to get the upcoming new stuff.

[ashen shore]

Have they announced new stuff?

[lusty slate]

Oh, crud. Spoiler channel stuff, sorry.

[ashen shore]

Spill da beans

[tiny gale]

oh snap, theres a teleporter on rendevous 5 abandoned station- nice

[random zenith]

neat!

[tiny gale]

but sadly i cannot call my freighter to this system- fml

[grave arrow]

So with 5 save files on a weekend event you can claim 84000 QS in 1 day with all expos finished and community done too with 3 qs missions regular in all saves

[worn finch]

Phase 4 completed

[ripe summit]

Oh boy one more phase 😭

Soon I'll be free

[random zenith]

Lost the portal option for rdv5, precisly what is the star description there? for example F9f, O3f

might be easier to add someone and get there that way, but that's too simple

[remote thunder]

what are you trying to do sorry?

get to rdv5?

[random zenith]

to get to the fifth randevouz system solo, and it's pushed out of the list of stations in my teleport list

yeah

thought to search for it by looking at the player bases in that list and match the star description

fully aware that this is a stupid way of doing it

[remote thunder]

would the system name help? teleport back to rdv4, and from there, look for the circled systems? <#nms-expedition message>

[prime wraith]

I just finished the expedition but I’m not sure how to end it, like I know I shouldn’t end it before the community milestone but do I just collect all the rewards? On my expedition save or primary save? I’m confused lollll

[random zenith]

fraid not, but it was worth a shot!

[random zenith]

you can always play on your primary save without having to end the expedition! :) menu -> options -> return to primary save. will not hamper your expedition, and you'll progress on the primary save
to end the expedition go to the anomaly and to the terminal where you started the expedition. chose which items and tech to send back to primary and proceed

[prime wraith]

Does the rewards I collect on my expedition save transfer to my main save though?

[random zenith]

Yes, except for community optional mission 1 reward

It was never part of this nor any expedition

[remote thunder]

but from rdv4 to rdv5, was it a big distance?

[wraith junco]

And u can have up to 15 saves

[novel girder]

I'm trying to do the pirate quest

Idk where to find a pirate system

[random zenith]

any outlaw system will do - they have a 💀 when you view the system in the galaxy map

[random zenith]

500 ly

[remote thunder]

hmm, that's relatively close, should be able to find it again - but i know, galaxy map can be disorienting sometimes

[novel girder]

I don't have a conflict scanner

[random zenith]

found it thanks to a kind gamer who let me taxi with them :) def doable, but if you don't know the distance beforehand and have traveled a bunch... 😅

[random zenith]

get one from the anomaly! worth it, you can farm nanites from the outlaws to make it up

[lusty slate]

Anyone have trouble getting Under a Rebel Star to cooperate when you used the Ticket of Freedom? I don't remember issues from last time, but now it refused to let me chart a course.

[remote thunder]

economy scanner will work

much easier to install

conf scanner will need walker brain

check !faq-outlawsystem in #bot-spam

[remote thunder]

saw a few other players reporting issues with it as well

[lusty slate]

I wish I brought contraband over but I didn't. Fortunately, the blue star system I warped to for that milestone was outlaw, so I bought contraband there and got around it.

[remote thunder]

nice!

[lusty slate]

I always bring my indium drive. Cuts down on a lot of time when it's required

[random zenith]

forgot that, apologies 🏃‍♂️ (that econ scanner is easier and works too)

[ashen shore]

Oh phase 5 already wild

[novel girder]

Is there a way to find sunken freighters without using a nautilus thingy

[ashen shore]

Yeah best to just do it tho it's fastest

[opal glade]

yay for radar of exocrafts

it's the best

[quaint urchin]

In case it helps later on, here's where I look: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Cadmium?so=search *Also obtainable from dismantling Pulse Engine Upgrade modules

I’m stuck on phase 5 the optional research one. I have been looking all over the planet for new discoveries but I find none. But it still says only 12% is finished

It’s the community research project

[open dagger]

We need players to all scan these - even if just a few. On phase 5 i've found 14 minerals and 14 flora - there is n o fauna on Dudlow vII

Several underwater btw. I was somehow expecting there to be 16 of each but only 14 and i'v ebeen at it awhile

[quaint urchin]

Options Menu> Log> Exploration Guide. It will show this on the bottom right of your screen when active...

Those number tell you how many you've discovered.

Somehow I found more Flora than was listed though, so may not be that accurate... Lol

[open dagger]

Wow, i need to keep going - that is a lot

[west stump]

I still can’t find it

Found it

[fallen musk]

I'm also hunting around Dudlow VII, checked caves and water, can't find anything new

[quaint urchin]

I used the Camera view to look around where I was and found 2 Flora that way. Big red patch and big yellow patch like these:

[fallen musk]

Hm, noted

[quaint urchin]

Best done at night or just change time in Camera view.

[fallen musk]

Oki Doki, ty

[novel girder]

Idk how to get a harmonic brain

[quaint urchin]

You have to activate the brain you took from the crashed ship in your inventory and then go to the coordinates it reveals to activate it.

The original brain is called the Hyaline Brain in case it helps.

[novel girder]

I can't seem to locate a site

[novel girder]

I need to find a monolith

[quaint urchin]

Click on the Hyaline Brain in your inventory and it should point you to the monolith

[lusty slate]

Cheers to the person who put an underwater base right next to a sunken freighter probe.

[open dagger]

Yes!!! That was super helpful - like a lot of things players do for each other in the game!

[quaint urchin]

"the Hyaline Brain can be probed in the inventory (by pressing E on PC) revealing the location of the closest Monolith"

[novel girder]

I'll go to another dissonant system and see if it works

[plucky rapids]

Ty 👍

[novel girder]

What do I do when I reach the monolith?

Wait does it have to be in a korvax system?

[fallen musk]

Nope, you just follow the prompts to interact with the monolith

Sometimes if you're in an uninhabited system it'll be a little funky (aka not work)

But that's usually as far as locating an interceptor to begin with goes

[novel girder]

Sadly the monolith I was at didn't work

I have to find another

[remote thunder]

do you have the sentinel salvaged site mission selected in your mission Log?

[novel girder]

Yes

Now I do

I finally got the harmonic brain

[supple sedge]

is there any must have items to bring to the mission, im planning on just some hypercores

[remote thunder]

check <#nms-expedition message>

[supple sedge]

thx

whats the catus for?

[quaint urchin]

One of the mission objectives has you craft something that requires Cactus. (Edit: It's Unstable Gel you have to craft)

[supple sedge]

k

[lusty slate]

Almost 1/4 through the last tier already. Nice. Might actually be done when I get home from work tomorrow. 🙂

[lusty slate]

Might want to add cadmium to that.

[remote thunder]

Half stack (or a full stack) of the basics, like Condensed Carbon, Sodium Nitrate, Ferrite Dust, Magnetised Ferrite, Ionised Cobalt, Chromatic Metal, Uranium, Pyrite, Salt, Gold, Silver, Cadmium, Emeril

[lusty slate]

Ah, I am blind.

Though buying, installing and disassembling injector mods still works (ie what I did)

Almost done. Last few milestones of phase 5 left (and the community obviously). Took a break to talk to my sister.

[remote thunder]

yeah, that usually always works

[vague hedge]

I love how in the first mission your directed to go visit the other planets in the Bezgho System and colonize there but the planet you leave behind is a Paradise Biome and the rest are kinda pupu

[pastel aurora]

Does anybody know how to transfer companion eggs from optional milestones to your main save?

It says cannot transfer companion eggs

[fringe heron]

You can claim the companions once you go to the quicksilver merchant on your primary

[pastel aurora]

Ok, thanks

[fringe heron]

Np!

[red shale]

Anyone recall what achievements are rewarded with quicksilver at the end of the expeditions when it's tallying everything up?

[atomic estuary]

Full list of rewards is pinned in this channel

• #nms-expedition message

[lusty slate]

Okie. Done for now, just have to wait on tier 5. If it finishes tomorrow, including weekend/daily QS I also did... a 13,400k payout. Noice.

[slender reef]

What's the current status of the community milestone?

[atomic estuary]

as per the counter at the end I dont think it rewards quicksilver, nanites and units yes but I dont remember quicksilver 🤔

[atomic estuary]

you can check with !tier command in #bot-spam

[red shale]

I know the main rewards listed...isn't there rewards given for the number of words learned, etc.? I'm just trying to see if there's something I can do to try an mine some additional quicksilver while waiting on the last planet to be surveyed...

[lusty slate]

900 QS for each community milestone (5), 300 for each rendezvous (5). 1,200 each for phases 2-5 (4).

[atomic estuary]

I know what you mean, the counter at the end in the Expedition Terminus

as per the counter at the end I dont think it rewards quicksilver, nanites and units yes but I dont remember quicksilver

[lusty slate]

Then add weekend QS (still active) + dailies to increase payout.

[red shale]

Thanks...missed where you said that...

I've done all the quicksilver missions from the anomaly. I was just going to run from knowledge stone to knowledge stone if the words learned translated to quicksilver at the end lol

[quaint urchin]

Did you do the Weekend Nexus mission in both the Expedition and on your primary save? If not, do it. You can get a total of 3600 for the weekend once your saves are merged. You can also leave the Expedition open until next weekend and double dip again.

[lusty slate]

Words reward nanites at the ending counter, not QS

[red shale]

Got it.

[lusty slate]

Oh yes, I'm aware. 🙂

[red shale]

I started the expedition from my main save and I'm too chicken to try to "return to primary save" option until the end lol

[quaint urchin]

The options menu has 'Return to primary save' and it is safe. I've done it many times over the past year.

[frozen laurel]

Do you get nanites for owned ships at the end of an expedition? Or is it best to scrap them all for units before ending?

[lusty slate]

If tier 5 finishes tomorrow I'll have a 13,400k QS payout from the expedition. Which will combine with the 3,100 I got already on main. Not too shabby.

[red shale]

You don't lose anything at all?

[lusty slate]

I only have 7200k worth of stuff left at the QS vendor to get. Enough to clean them out finally and have a tidy sum left over.

[quaint urchin]

I haven't. You can also use this option to keep reloading the ending terminal to take stuff back to your primary save.

[open dagger]

I have a question about the Storage Containers you build as part of the base-building milestone - when you end the expedition what happens to all the stuff in there? I am assuming it gets converted to units as part of the final transfer and not merged back into your main save. Anyone know?

[red shale]

I saw someone say this earlier and I plan to try this on this go around.

[quaint urchin]

You are correct. It gets converted at the end.

[fringe sierra]

Can I get the pic of the expedition list through February

[open dagger]

Perfect, thank you for the quick answer

[red shale]

It's on the NMS website...

[fringe sierra]

I saw someone had posted it here didn't see it in pins. Sorry doing like 15 things irl and a friend asked

[atomic estuary]

last redux for this round is Jan 22 Exp 16: The Cursed, We dont know what will be after that or if there will be an expedition in February

[fringe sierra]

That's what I ment thrpught till Feb sorry I missed till lol

[lusty slate]

Okay, closing down for today.

Still debating doing Adrift and The Cursed again for funsies

Adrift had emergency scanners at half the price they are in main, FYI

Tempted to go back in with loads of units and buy a bunch just 'cause

[fringe sierra]

Wait u can put units in the expedition terminal

Or like go in with stuff u can sell for a crap ton

@lusty slate

[lusty slate]

This. I usually take a fusion igniter in with me (sells for 15mil). Then I never have to worry about funds.

[royal tundra]

Where do I find a sunken freighter?

[knotty marsh]

Two easy ways:

1. Go to the space station teleporter and look through player bases, someone will often have a base near one.
2. Install a scanner in your Nautilion exocraft - it can locate them for you

[royal tundra]

Ok thanks much

[supple sedge]

does the expo give you a personal refiner at any point?

[knotty marsh]

Yup. Phase 2, Expansion milestone

[supple sedge]

ok. wont bother with getting one via other means

[lusty slate]

I ported in my mk2 anyway

[supple sedge]

hah, accidentally skipped needing an indium drive for the blue star objective

[lost heart]

I did a small stack of AI valves from scrapped interceptors.

[knotty marsh]

And i just visited someone's base and "borrowed" a ton of NipNip right at the beggining of my exp. Nice boost of cash and a milestone completion at the same time 🙂

[sly sedge]

This is only my 3rd expedition, so to prepare I started using my 10th storage for high value items to take into expeditions.

I've got a question about this current expedition. At the end of Phase 1, I got a companion egg, and the creature it hatched is ADORABLE. Can I take this companion back to my main game?

[quaint urchin]

Only if you started a New save from the main menu when starting the Expedition. If you started from an existing save you have to go visit the Quicksilver vendor in the Anomaly in your primary save to collect the Expedition rewards.

[sly sedge]

But I don't see this egg in those expedition rewards. Will that change after I finish it?

FYI, I didn't start a New Save.

[quaint urchin]

Oh, on my Expedition runs it has never let me use the transfer box to take an egg back to my primary. Unfortunately I've never looked to see when they show up at the Quicksilver vendor. I am thinking it should happen when you claim the reward though.

[sly sedge]

Aw nuts.

I'll double check, but I don't think it was there.

[random zenith]

first egg isn't claimable, the rest are

the reason is that the first egg is a gift from the devs in this redux, it's never been a part of any expedition which is why it's not a claimable reward

[sly sedge]

Awww. That's specifically the one that I want.

[random zenith]

bummer :(

[sly sedge]

I know. It's quite an adorable little thing.

[fringe sierra]

Ok so couple questions then. What do u meen by this

Was this the first expedition that offered an egg

[random zenith]

no, but first time the first community mission reward egg was ever offered as a reward

[fringe sierra]

Ok. So are there other eggs we get from other exp aside from the cursed

[quaint urchin]

I would report it to Hello Games just in case this is not intended.

[sly sedge]

Thanks @quaint urchin

[fringe sierra]

I'll do it too I either would like to transfer the egg or somehow have the egg added to rewards to be cross save

[quaint urchin]

In an earlier Expedition the Minotaur parts didn't show up either, but they fixed it.

[fringe sierra]

Oooooor

I want someone to explain to me how to get this egg lol idk what it even is has I haven't hatched it hoping to bring it back to main

[sly sedge]

So which contact method is best for this query?

[fringe sierra]

ALL

Lol jk

But fr

[sly sedge]

It's really the most adorable looking creature I've seen in the game yet.

[fringe sierra]

Uve hatched it

[sly sedge]

https://nomansskyrecipes.com/other/other165

[fringe sierra]

Omg

[sly sedge]

Yup, I hatched it, and I've had it following me around every lush planet I visit.

[quaint urchin]

I always just go to this link and 'Submit a request': https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

[sly sedge]

Thanks again.

Ok yeah, I think I went here before to report the bug about stuff disappearing from my freighter's refinery.

[random zenith]

not sure, #nms-questions might know <3

[fringe sierra]

I'll do it too and to be safe I won't hatch it incase they just make eggs transferable

[random zenith]

it's a known bug for what it's worth

[fringe sierra]

Submitted my request to add them to expedition cross save rewards. That or make eggs transferable

I forgot that if I hatch them I can get a new egg from them before transferring if that take that route.

Idk which would be easier

[grave arrow]

So the starborn runner is the best ship

Hands down my favorite

[fringe sierra]

Lol I was gunna say that's a matter of opinion

So far I'm pretty happy with the herald

[grave arrow]

You can space hump

[fringe sierra]

Did u meen hump

[grave arrow]

Yes

[fringe sierra]

K video please... I need to see this

[grave arrow]

😂

[fringe sierra]

Cause I'm only mentally picturing one thing right now and idk if my ship consents

[grave arrow]

Dms

[fringe sierra]

🤣😂🤣

Ok so..... if im in the expedition..... and I go to primary save.

Can I put an echo locator in the terminal and still get it or am I too late since I started it

[grave arrow]

Too late

[fringe sierra]

Ugggghhhhh

Easiest way to get one?

[quaint urchin]

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

[fringe sierra]

Lol thanks. My singular brain cell is apparently on sleep duty atm

Me and the wife share one brain cell and neither is doing anything important.... or she is considering her nms survival important hence me not having it atm

[quaint urchin]

You can also start a fight with some Sentinels and take it to space. Once you defeat the Sentinel Freighter you'll get a locator that will take you directly to a crash site instead of the Harmonic Camp.

[fringe sierra]

Meh.... u know that's a whole lot more bs then I care to deal with atm

[quaint urchin]

Note: When going to Harmonic Camps, make sure to loot the Wheelbarrows. They can randomly have very good loot!

[fringe sierra]

O I know that

[knotty marsh]

Ask around the #nms-lfg-or-trades Someone might give you one

[quaint urchin]

Oooo, check it out: Phase 3 has a mission that rewards a carrier AI fragment

Unbounded - View the second memory
Knowledge of the Memory of Bones
Memory Fragment x 3
Carrier AI Fragment

[fringe sierra]

The dissonance resonator is easy... going after a sentinal frieghtwr.... more then I care to do atm lol

[fringe sierra]

And that is what?

For the brain cell lacking among us

[quaint urchin]

It will locate a Sentinel Interceptor: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Carrier_AI_Fragment

[fringe sierra]

Ooooo

Lol the pros to doing milestones in order lmao

[gilded orchid]

I just do what I normally do and complete milestones randomly

They’re all over the place

[supple sedge]

what system is reccomended for the photo challenge?

[fringe sierra]

I power through and do every SINGLE one I can or as much of it as I can before leaving the first system so I can just skate through the phases

[fringe sierra]

2 are in first system

Fire and ice

Airless is in one of the rdv systems idr which one

I think 4???? Maybe 3

[gilded orchid]

I just leave cooking for last

Regardless

Cooking just seems so out of place

[fringe sierra]

Lol

So

If a uploaded base says freebies.... would one expect anything in the storage containers is the freebies.... or just the plants

[quaint urchin]

I believe the storage containers always have your stuff in them.

[fringe sierra]

Nvm I'm gunna gunna guess it's my storage

Cause it looks oddly familiar

[quaint urchin]

Yea, I took some stuff the first time I encountered one of these. Then wondered where my stuff went... 🤣

[supple sedge]

yea i dont think you can access storages that arent yours

[fringe sierra]

Ok I went for the freighter but saw stuff in the storages so wanted to absolve my guilt I guess... for taking my own stuff I guess

So..... are we sure it's my containers cause idk if I feel comfortable putting my stuff in it

[open dagger]

It's your inventory always - just remember we learned earlier that these are zapped at the end of the expedition, not merged so if you use, remove what you want to save before ending

[muted granite]

HAH! Stealing … out of my… own… bank account…

[fringe sierra]

Wouldn't be stealing the base was named freebies

[fringe sierra]

O since I learned on my first exp I was able to transfer over multiple trips and go back and fourth. I only leave what physically can't be transferred at exp term

[muted granite]

Yeah, using that tactic, expeditions are super profitable.

[haughty panther]

Anybody having any luck with the full scanning research on Dudlow VII? I'm missing a mineral and I've been digging/flying/swimming for hours >.<

[muted granite]

Have you tried mixing up hemispheres / north/south?

[pastel aurora]

Is that the fifth rendezvous?

[haughty panther]

I've flown around a bunch, i'll try going to the poles I guess

and yes, 5th

[pastel aurora]

Isn't it reset by now?

It's past 5 AM in the UK

Which is where HelloGames is based

[haughty panther]

Reset?

[fringe sierra]

Wait they're reset

I don't think that's right

[pastel aurora]

From what I've been told, Community Research resets weekly

[haughty panther]

I just want to get the optional pet =P

[open dagger]

OMG - this is the second drop dead beautiful A class freighter i've rescued today - soooo tempting and this time a Sentinel class - the last one was a Ventator class - so tempting

[lyric rampart]

Are they just re running expeditions? I already did omega and cant claik the rewards again

[supple sedge]

they rerun expeditions from the year at the end of the year

[lyric rampart]

Ah fair enough

[open dagger]

Odd, it's not showing reset in my Log for 5th one???

It's showing Planet 5 - 34%

[fossil cloak]

What do you guys do in expeditions? This is my first one. Do you just go through all of the missions and phases one by one and get it done or do you go off and do side stuff while doing the expedition? What are your favorite things to do?

[pastel aurora]

My source was definitely wrong then

[haughty panther]

Anyone know which one I'm missing?

[ashen shore]

No

[haughty panther]

Hah! just found it, the first "Alluring specimen" rock i'd seen so far and that's what was missing

[open dagger]

Was just checking my list and that is the only one im missing as well - surface find?

[haughty panther]

No, had to find a deep water cave

[open dagger]

Ahhhh - tyvm!!

[ripe summit]

Is adrift next?

[fringe sierra]

Yes

[ripe summit]

Thank you

[ripe summit]

Really needed this picture 😭

[fringe sierra]

@sly sedge

Ok so the helios,quad,and sandworm are in the previous Expeditions as rewards already. Idk which the biological horror is. So that may be in the rewards list already.

The only one missing is the green blob atm untill I figure out the bio horror

[haughty panther]

Bio horror is the critters from when you destroy the eggs around infested stations

[fringe sierra]

Ok so the only companion egg that doesn't appear in the qs terminal is the green blob one

[mental haven]

Any word on the unstable gel bug?

[worthy stirrup]

Anyone seen a planet this cold?

[pastel aurora]

Looks a little chilly, might want to bring a coat

[worthy stirrup]

Right!

[wintry void]

Are you using any mods? The only issue I've had with expedition is cause I was using mods

[fringe sierra]

I'm like 4 milestones away from completing it. So idk what bug yr talking about

[mental haven]

There’s a bug where you can’t complete the unstable gel quest cuz you can’t buy a blueprint you have

[fringe sierra]

It's reset?

Ur basically starting out new.

Have u tried to buy it?

Cause ur main save purchases of recipes do NOT come with

[mental haven]

I have. I just made a new save and restart the whole expedition :/

Not cool

I was playing on an old save but it’s there

[fringe sierra]

Weird.

[sly sedge]

Yeah, the "green blob" is the one that I would love to have in my main save. 😦

[ashen shore]

What's the community % at today?

[supple sedge]

39 for planet 5

[fringe sierra]

Well I made my suggestion so here's hoping

[knotty marsh]

You can always type !tier in #bot-spam to check the progress

[ashen shore]

Thankyou

[hardy tiger]

Struggling reaching rendezvous 2. Been a loonnng morning with the hyperdrive working overtime

Any suggestions apart from jump and jump refuel and jump jump jump?

[supple sedge]

is there anywhere with an airless planet?

[wintry void]

none of the RVs have one, you are looking for any planet with rusted metal

[supple sedge]

bruh thats so rude of hg

[wintry void]

try #nms-expedition message

[indigo falcon]

just to double check, it's the blueprint for unstable gel and not unstable plasma you're trying to buy, right?

[hardy tiger]

Rendezvous 2. Requires a "significant journey". Been warping and warping, do not seem to be getting any nearer to the goal. Any help please? Have the correct mission locked, following the correct path in galaxy map, hopped into several black holes. Currently hurtling through the galaxy in my vesper sail

[ripe summit]

Unstable gel is the ball shaped one on the second page

[ripe summit]

Find a space station and go back to the nearest space station (or like r1) and you should be fine

[indigo falcon]

go back to the r1 space station and try again, going through black holes will have moved you a loooong way off

[hardy tiger]

Ok. Will hop back to rendezvous 1

[ripe summit]

Blackholes are not a good way to travel 😭

They just plop ya wherever

[hardy tiger]

Ice had good results with them in the past

[indigo falcon]

they are a great way to travel if you want to get to some distant part of the galaxy. but not if you're trying to do stuff in a tiny little area like the expd 😄

[ripe summit]

☝️

[hardy tiger]

I'm not stranger to travel, I've cored twice of perma. Seem to be having no end of problems with the expedition though, pretty glitchy

Ah well. Thanks for info, back to rendezvous 1 it is

[supple sedge]

yea none of the rdvs are very far from each other other than 4 to 5

[fringe sierra]

Alright exp done. Just waiting on the final bonus milestone

[knotty marsh]

Remember to duplicate your photonix cores 🙂

[hardy tiger]

Thanks again traveller friends. Seems I was being really stupid, R2 is indeed a really short jump from R1. This is one blind space monkey signing off 🙈

[fringe sierra]

The what now

[fringe sierra]

?

What planet was rdv 4 on again

I missed a base terminal on that one

[mental haven]

Yeah the blue print

[knotty marsh]

System: Eomitang
Planet: Usissi XII

Also if you access the space station teleporter, you should see all rdv points under the station names

[fringe sierra]

Yea im in rdv 4 I just couldn't remember planet

[supple sedge]

photonix cores?

[knotty marsh]

Yeah, the exclusive tech that comes with the Starborn Runner

[supple sedge]

i dont see them

nvm

found it

[fringe sierra]

I meen I was just gunna copy the whole ship over so I could have two again like I did the herald

Then strip the whole thing and salvage it

[knotty marsh]

sure, but you might want to have multiple copies, in case you ever wanted to upgrade your other ships with it as well
