anyone know how to find a dissonant planet for the radiant flight quest
there's at least 1 in rdv2
@silent locust save, use carrier ai fragment obtained from Unbounded in phase 4
@silent locust remember to change from radiant flight to sentinel interceptor trace (carrier ai frag helper mission) to sentinel salvage site (claim sentinel ship helper mission)
It is has to do with the way it is generated, even though it is in fact equal to G. Oestridinzeus Egg (TWITCH_PET03), which is generated the same way in the backend. HG likely have a good reason to not unlock it as a Twitch reward though.
Is there anyway to speed run the expedition missions? using other people resources or anything?
I suggest you start with the pins in this channel. Any other specific questions, feel free to ask here.
That said, Youtube likely has some content creators actually speedrunning these expeditions.
Question about the companion eggs. What do you do with those? You can’t take them with you to your main save. Why reward something you can’t take back?
You can get them on your main. Just visit the Quicksilver shop at the Anomaly
@faint pelican As said above, they unlock account wide, with the exception of the 1st optional Milestone reward. So if started from an existing save, that egg/companion will be lost upon finishing
So no way to keep the first one but all the rest are available at the quicksilver guy?
Correct
Well, if you do complete those milestones of course
Tysm. Odd that they give you something you can’t keep. And I always complete all milestones. OCD ha!
I just didn’t know if maybe you hatched and adopted it you got to keep it. I haven’t really gotten into companions at all.
We have had quite a few discussions about that in here. Even if started on a fresh save, you could of course still get them from the QS store the same way. So technically no reason to provide them as they do.
As for the 1st Egg, feel free to suggest turning that companion egg into an actual reward item for the shop

Maybe they decided that it was "not good enough" as exp reward and decided that these type of pets will be twitch rewards and for exp they will make more unique rewards? Bc why bother for rewards if u can find it in wild right?
Ahhh didn’t realize you can find the first one in the wild. Thanks for all the comments help. Appreciate it!
You're welcome. Enjoy your companions
I don't know, but I do seem to recall some disappointment as well when this Omega expedition first ran. Players losing their companions, or not being able to claim at all, or something, which then got fixed/changed.
When it comes to most of the Twitch rewards, yes, those are pretty much just specific seed generations for various items.
Oh my, I would love for HG to explain/provide insight into some of these thought processes ...
If you go to that one, you can get a free interceptor without having to repair it or purchase it. There is a base there surrounding an interceptor which happens to have landing pads. For whatever reason, when the game tries to generate an NPC landing, it gives them the crashed interceptor (the original will dissapear and the NPC will land with it). You can interact with the NPC's interceptor to open the repair interface, but you can also just talk to them, offer the buy the ship, and get it for free. This is because the interceptor purchasing UI is usually only used when claiming the ship, thus it's automatically free, even when getting it from an NPC. Once you claim it, the repair UI will go away, and once you abandon the repair request, the icon on the ship will go away too
yep, that's true, known issue
i've been trying to do the astrolinguistics milestone but every single alien i come across shows as visited and already learned 😭
do it in a different system, and/or try knowledge stones; if you're on pc, if you run mods, be sure to have them all updated or just temp disable them to see if it's a mod causing it or not
Are bases that we build on expedition files saved when the save is converted back to normal?
Hello, do you know where I can find a planet without an atmosphere?
Can I take other starships back to main save (plus) the rewarded Star runner ship by making copies of them?
You can copy any ship from the expedition if you started it from the Anomaly by just switching to that ship in the expedition, switch to main save, copy, switch to expedition mode, switch ship, repeat. Starborn Runner can be just claimed from the QS vendor in your main save, you don't have to copy it for nanites unless you want to
Thank you!
my gawd
this base building thing just kept going on and on, i wish they would stack all the objectives in a list, rather than reveal them one by one, and have me going back and forth 😄
i just dumped those items randomly by the end over my base
You can now delete them.
I shall delete them!
Can anyone give me a good reason not to start another new save and play through the exp for the 5th time?
New 16k base parts and 12 ships slots
Can do weekend qs mission and unlocked things will be unlocked on main save
Haha. Well, looks like there is no reason not to, then. I love this freakin' game
is this ok damage?)
need advice on fallen giants step, i've travelled about 4-5 planets in the oceans for at least 20mins in each and still can't find any destroyed freighters?! any tips would be appreciated
Head to Space Station and check the Teleporter. Someone probably has a base for it.
With quest active, deploy a signal booster and fire it off.
Otherwise, fly low along shorelines and one should emerge at some point.
ok, thanks, will try tomorrow
Took me about 5 min to find one with no assistance when I did it, they stick out of the water pretty good so you can fly over the water quickly and catch one with good eyes
cheers 🙂
Deploy your Nautilus. It has an option to scan for sunken freighter wrecks.
Good call, i forgot you can scan for specific stuff via x, thank you so much
If I remember correctly, a previous milestone gives you a Nautilon chamber.

That 5:00AM in that, is that GMT, or another time zone?
in the exptime command? it's a timestamp that discord automatically displays in your local time
Oh, sweet.
Five days to go.

Hope the kids sleep well on the nights I’ve got free for gaming.
Hi, i'm new, how much time does an expedition take ? I started a regular save, should I bring stuff from there to the expedtion ? I saw that was an option but I don't know how important that is.
for a new player, expedition play time to completion averages at around 5-6h. expeditions can be completed without bringing anything at all, as by general rule, there's always milestones rewards that help complete others. that said, check out <#nms-expedition message>, let us know if there's stuff in there that you got no idea how to get
I didn't get much into the main quests so I don't have Cadmium and Emiril, and I'd have to figure out how to get cactus flesh, Radiant shards and inverted mirrors. But if they can be completed in 5-6 hours with nothing it should be fine for me. Thanks !
no worries. cactus flesh will be needed to craft a product; rad shard and inv mirror will be needed to claim a sentinel ship (can be acquired in expedition as well, np). how are you doing on the rest, all good? solar mirror can be bought from random trade terminals if you can't craft it yet, but it also isn't mandatory
Depends what you call a 'stack' of items, It would be long for me to get lots of chromatic metal
but I could buy a lot of the stuff if it's available
And I didn't quite get what the rewards were for the expedition, you only get cosmetics ?
yep, definitely will be able to buy stuff
no; most notably, there's a multitool, and a ship
I got lost in the sauce doing side quests so I have some money lol
Is it a good ship ?
no need to get 4k stacks
oh traveler, i personally love it, reminds me so much of WipeOut 😄
I get to take a ship with me ?
-#

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.

It does look a lot like wipeout lol
after you get to anomaly inside expedition, available after warping out of the starter system, you get to copy the last equipped ship and MT you had in primary
it's an exotic ship type underneath, and it even comes with a rare pulse engine tech upgrade that only ps4 limited edition and day1 patch players had access to
@wheat stirrup that said, about copying: it does need nanites, so you should bring something to help you get nanites, otherwise you'd be relying on milestones and getting nanites from scratch in expedition
in nms, devs made it so that upgrades we install make most of the difference, not so much the specializations of each ship type; but exotics are really well balanced
Does a tech lose value after it is unpacked ?
I got a few black market upgrades, are those random ?
and the regular ones consistant ?
I also got a colony, but it has a lot of bad effects and a hefty debt, should I keep it of try to find another one ?
x-class are a gamble: can be worse than c-class, but also better than the best s-class - ofc, top rolls are rarer
-#
to view info below, enable embeds
Is X-class better, stronger than S-Class?
It can be. Put simply, S-class serves the "Install and forget, I'll get something OP anyway" approach, while X-class the "I want to max this out" approach but may take more time investment to get the "stronger than S-class" rolls.
Is there X-class gear?
No, S-class is the highest.

don't worry - that maintenance cost, that debt, none of that is coming out of your pocket. is it on a planet you like? settlements all start pretty bad, and get better with your guidance.see !faq-settlements command in #bot-spam for more info on settlements.
Thanks, makes a lot more sense now
It's on the galaxy I spawned in, but I feel like it's pretty uncomfortable, would you have advice on where to start a base and a colony ? Should I try to make them adjacent ?
I've also had trouble with killing sentinels, what advice would you have about that ?
This menu is amazing in the game. You can Pin (tag) resources on this screen and the game will point you in the right direction. Just select anything you need that shows up in this menu and you can select the "locate substance' option so you have some direction to go in.
Yeah I used it a couple of times, altough some times it was not useful at all
Sentinels struggle with structures. A base can make a difference. Minotaur is also very effective, even without upgrades.
Thanks, I'll try to dig those strategies and see how I fare 😄
Get the Neutron Canon and a Paralysis Mortar. Stun and Destroy...
Also, what's the most important trait on a ship, its class or its type ?
I repaired a B class ship but I found an A class one and I was wondering if its worth repairing this one
i would suggest not holding back with dropping and claiming that base computer to progress the story - we can drop and claim up to 400 base computers per save, can teleport to a claimed base comp even if we didn't build a teleporter at the base. once you find a planet you like, can use settlement charts from the cartographer to find another settlement there.
neither. it's what you put on the tech inventory
and 100% looks
Yes but which one would have the most potential ?
Class gives access to more slots and possibly more Supercharged slots. Type gives advantages to maneuverability, or shields, or maybe even damage.
any ship at it's fullest will be more than OP enough for the entire game
Alright, thanks for the insight
a c-class ship only has access to 1 supercharged slot, yes, but even a c-class ship can destroy enemies and warp anywhere you need it to
class can be upgraded
so can inventory
and stats through upgrades 🙂
Is there a quest about acquiring a cargo ship ? I was wondering if I should buy one or smth
In case you want to read up on Ships... https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Starship#
Where can I get one?
all ships can be inventory upgraded - a fighter isn't a hauler, can't be upgraded to 120 cargo slots when s-class, but it can be upgraded to 100 cargo slots.
A star ship I mean
Yes I looked at it earlier, seems very deep and interesting, for now I think I won't dive into theory that much tho
100 vs 120 - not much difference
I meant the really big ships
keep progressing the story, you'll be introduced to freighter rescue battle events soon into it
until you take ownership of a freighter, all freighters rescued from pirates will be offered for free
Yes that's what I remember from playing a long time ago
I really should progress the main story
awakenings -> alone amidst the stars -> ghosts in the machine
I've only traveled about 2 galaxies away from my starting galaxy while having 10h of playtime
depends on how much you focus on the story - and how you get past the early stages
But I get so caught up with all the side quests I can't focus enough to progress lol
don't worry about it
there's still days left to hop in expedition
keep getting a better feel for it
feel free to ask more questions in #nms-questions about non-expedition
I'll dive into it this week-end, for now I will head to sleep. I very appreciate all the help I have gotten, this community seems very loving of its player and its game !
anyone know of any airless planets in the expedition for the milestone?
and what biomes count as airless?
sorry for the late reply, "airless" near rdv2 <#nms-expedition message>; that said, any planet or moon with rusted metal on the list will work
Its been awhile since I played, but whats this about searching north-south to locate stuff? Does it work just for resources or things like crashed ships or archives?
basically, buildings and stuff like 3* resources e.g. curious deposits are generated on&near leylines,
Ah ok. Thanks. Just starting a new Save on Steam Deck. It is performing much better than the Switch did.
Is there an airless planet in the expedition systems?
Hey I've been away for a while, just wondering what is the current running expedition?

Lots of different ways to get Starships. For instance, you get a very nice one just for completing the current Expedition. That link I posted covers a lot of other ways as well, such as looking for crashed starships or buying from NPCs if you have the Units.
man... lost the echo locator you get from one of the rewards because i used it and then lost the signal (i think i left the system it was in after i pinged? stupid move i know) and ive been hunting for them since. tried to farm with the dissonance resonator technique that someone mentioned, with no luck. tried to fight a sentinel capital ship but it spawned too close to the planet surface to the degree that anytime i tried to fly under the shields to take out the turrets/etc, it would become invisible because the game would register me entering the planetary atmosphere. incredible luck i am having here 😭 😭 😭
its so funny, this is the last milestone i need and i apparently just did not finish omega previously because i found it so tedious when im pretty thorough with doing expeditions. hmm!
isnt the echo location not part of the milestone?
arnt the items for milestones craftable. to activate the memory?
or maybe im misinterpreting
goto rdv2 station teleporter, there's probably bases marking sentinel ship sites or harmonic camps
its to get the sentinel interceptor
oh god thank you 
need to report the sentinel capital ship becoming invisible/invincible bug to hg because like, wadda hell lmao
lull
it would become invisible because the game would register me entering the planetary atmosphere
known bug; best to shoot up a non-outlaw station repeatedly till wanted level 4, see <#bot-spam message>
funny in a way with this game, if you miss a small thing you lose out like, if you dont visit each rendevous space station, its a pain to locate them if you need to backtrack
gotcha, yeah i guess i get it but its kinda silly that they spawn so close to the planet surface when aggro'd from the planet surface
An extra layer - every station you visit, you can buy an exosuit slot in… AND… every system you summon the Anomaly in you can buy another exosuit slot in that system from the anomaly. So it’s a bit tedious when traveling but you can quickly change your tech/inventory slot count keeping that in mind. Another one of those “little things.”
Yeah that's cool too. It's cheap and after each time I think it doubles in price or smth
Do researched items (for base building for example) transfer to main save after expedition is over?
You can bring back unspent salvaged data modules.
Man, the process of transferring stuff and salvaging after an expedition is... tedious. But glorious. So many more expansion modules, so much more cash, so many more S-class modules, and other oddities and trinkets.
I need to test how to transfer items
Does it only work at the end of the expedition?
I tried to switch during the expedition back to main save, and the only option was to copy the ship and weapon.
I couldn't add items into those other squares
I don’t believe you can transfer other items until you complete the expedition
Yep, you have to complete and claim all Milestones in order for the terminal slots to unlock so you can take stuff back. Note that you can use the Options menu to 'Return to primary save' after loading up the terminal, unload it, create a Restore Point, and then use the terminal to 'Resume Expedition' and load the terminal up again. Repeat as needed... You can also change your active ship and multi-tool if you want to copy back more than one.
Is the expedition going to lead me to an airless planet somehow or do I just keep looking forever?
Ok so i will Not have Time this Weekend playing the Expedition. And after that there are only two days left before time runs out to get that nice ship right?
Whats your preferred Tutorial to get throuh this afap .im in Stage 2 currently looking for cactus flesh.
alternativly IS there a list of Thing s youll need because i never manage to have an Overview one that.
Been searching for an airless planet for like 2 hours. I've even visited a desolate and abandoned planet amd for some reason those didn't count
Found it after two jumps. Just jumped to dissonant and then looked for planet with rusted metal
what am i suppose to do with the 5 companion eggs i got? cant trasnfer them to my main save
Is there a bug in this expedition or am I supposed to make a ridiculous number of jumps to get to rendezvous 2? I am so bored with trying to complete this step
OMFG if I have to jump into one more space battle...
So I get bored silly after so many jumps, and instead of trying to defend the freighters in the next system I jump to, I shoot them instead. Then suddenly sentinels are deployed to attack me? Why weren't they defending the freighters which were already under attack? WTF
You've jumped through a black hole, and this sent you way off the expedition route. Just go to any space station, and use its teleporter to get back to Randevous 1 system, or anything else that puts you back on track
U can redeem pet eggs from exp in qs store.
how do i change it to look for sweetroot
or anyother sugar source
i already got the wheat
Nvm reloading solved it
can't remember. do you need storm crystals for anything in this exp?
You need frost crystal for glass crafting
well silicate will do for that
how many do i need to make
One regular and one flavored
that's the minimum
I never made a regular one and got it
Might be, but by following the prompts, that's what you end up with
hmm
Combine flour with sugar to create Sugar Dough, then mix it with something else, just try some other things from your backpack till you get the flavored cookie
Any flavor will do
what'll happen to the main game freighter if you buy one in expedition?
Nothing. Those are separate save files. By starting the game from the Anomaly terminal, you're just enabling the option to transfer things between those
understood
bruh
Use the report function.
I'm not sure when they changed it, but now you can report bases that block objectives super easy. Go to the quick menu and scroll all the way to the right, after photo mode is a report option and the base will disappear.
grrr. still not found an airless world.
I've not seen it there, but at this point, when you search for "airless" on this channel you'll see that post mentioned all over the place
good pt. my bad
no worries, cheers
and I was just at r2 and picked the wrong red star to visit :)
would never have found it. it's coloured green for me.
so not piss-farting about meant that I did the exp in half the time. ok.
gg
So with this current expedition, do we get a blueprint for that unique pulse drive upgrade, or is it just one single item that is used on the Starborn ship?
I'd love to be able to craft it.
the latter
cause 16 been done already, this is 12 redux
yes
neat
So next week Exp 13 re-run should start when exp 12 re run ends
gotcha
can't wait for people to warp to my "airless mission" base and to scratch their heads
someone mind testing this?
steps: goto rdv2; interact with mission board, see if you have a "take screenshot in scorched world", take it. see if it leads to this exact system shown on galaxy map. it has a scorched, a frozen and an airless.
What planet has an exotic animal?
look for any planet or moon with gold on resource list
there's 2 in rendezvous 2 system, Erkhas
@brave echo there's 2 in rendezvous 2 system, Erkhas

You can use the Options Meun to Return to primary save, copy ship & multitool, create a restore point, and use the terminal to Resume Expedition. Back in Expedition change active ship & multitool, then use Options menu again to return to primary save.
be sure to save before switching contexts
iow, before either resume exp/return to primary
it's saying I already copied the (first, basic) ship, alrighty
and there we go lol
for some reason the copied ship is yellow and not red, eh, still cool
what happens to all the eggs? can't I take them back? should I hatch them?
I thought you could take them (eggs) with you. I don't think companions can go with you.
HELP
I'm in trouble. I am in Exp 12 and am on phase2. Phase 1 had me go through a black hole and I came out the other side and logged off for the night. Now I'm trying to get to the 2nd rendezvous and I am on the wrong side of the galaxy. How can I get back?
with the exception of the egg in phase 1 optional, all optional milestone rewards are unlocked account wide once their relevant milestone is claimed - you'll just claim the eggs from the quicksilver shop in any other save, including your primary
goto station, teleport back to rendezvous 1 station, Obrazni
THANK YOU
yeah I just noticed I can get them in main save, thank you!
are you in rendezvous 2 already/still?
wondering if i could ask you a favor
which may lead to you completing a milestone easy
what is it?
steps: goto rdv2; interact with mission board in space station, see if you have a "take screenshot in scorched world", take it. see if it leads to this exact system shown on galaxy map. it has a scorched, a frozen and an airless.
Phase 3 - Grand tour milestone: take picture in scorched, frozen and dead biome planets
sure thing I'll let you know in a second
ty
nice
there will be 3 planets in that system suitable to get that milestone
one with solanium, another with frost crystal, and another with rusted metal on resource lists
Do yall really finish the expedition in 6 hours? I’m 3 hours in and only finished first phase 😭
@split prawn might want to do that milestone while you're there - the mission from the mission board isn't whats important
don't worry about it, you still have plenty of time left to complete
First time through it takes 12 hours
All of the companion eggs are account rewards, right? I want to bring them to my main save
Link previous message bk
all except phase 1's optional; all the others are account wide unlocked, and claimable once per save, any save under the same account (your primary save is a different save, even if you started from existing)
quicksilver shop/collect expedition rewards, under their original expedition filter for example
Cant transfer memories to main save

ah
if I claim a reward in expedition, can I claim it again in other saves?
Phase and final rewards are unlocked account wide
They can be claimed from the QuickSilver guy (3)
just a sec
airless: any planet with rusted metall
frozen: any planet with frost crystal (plant)
scorched: any planet with solanium (plant)
all the above can be found on planets when scanning them from space @tacit pollen
and if they're in your catalogue, you can also track them from the catalogue, helps finding them in systems and gal map
try this <#nms-expedition message>
frozen and scorched are in the first system
hi guys im struggling to get the ship from part 4 of expedition
did you complete and claim phase 3 milestone 6 unbounded?
find carrier ai fragment item on your inventories
if you got more than 1 ship, check other ships as well
Is it still the Omega expedition or a different one now?
Oh and Adrift is one I have done before too
But the other three I haven’t done.
Well, I did part of The Cursed, but I did not finish it.
oh Adrift looks neat
I forgot I also did Aquarius - although I may try doing that again to get an Exo-skiff with the proper number of inventory slots
I will do aquarius again for the bottle items. Game scammed me and gived me 2 same ones
hey im new to the game and just almost finished my expedition milestones, and i want to know if i get to keep the new ship and everything? and what should i transfer is it up to me or you recommend something valuable

Expedition Info
Game mode explained:
Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.
To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future
Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players (
) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

good evening, when is the next expedition?
I just took a pic of thie planet with frost crystal but quest still 0/1
need to be inside atmosphere
it worked! thanks
Not a bad idea. I wonder what else would make a difference… gonna definitely be copying over my MT and Ship for that one.
any tips to find plant with rusted metal?
see <#nms-expedition message>
where is quest board in station?
back towards the station entrance, on your left, same level as landing pads
and you're in rendezvous 2 system?
Erkhas?
yes
and there's no picture taking mission there? you sure?
because so far everyone i shared this with came back to me with "yep it was there"
5 people and counting
help me
maybe got to take one of those missions to clear it and get a new one added - that said, it's quite possible that the 250 pyrite one would go off system. anyway, if you try finding the system directly in the galaxy map, without the help of a mission marker, you should be able to
Dang, looks like the Vy'keen missions were replaced with Guild missions. Interesting... 🤔
This was from when I did that yesterday.
might be that there's a specific set of missions per system; it randomly picks from there; quite possibly doing one or two of the ones that don't really matter helps bringing that one forth
i wonder if talesboom has raised standing with vykeen
That would make sense. Good thinking!
since they probably raised standing, they didnt get mostly vykeen missions+1 guild
@tacit pollen in that case, if you are rank>0 with vykeen, then i guess i'd suggest taking the vykeen standing mission, the one at the top
pretty sure it's related to standing yeah
Interesting... According to the Wiki (which I guess isn't always up to date) "The 2nd-4th mission slots hold low-rank missions for each of the three guilds." Totally changed from what we saw yesterday, but according to the Wiki those slots are supposed to be reserved for Guild missions. Glitched yesterday maybe?
nah
it's about standing
if standing with system race too low, == rank 0, neutral; then mission boards of that race everywhere will basically only have race standing missions
this is done on purpose, to facilitate gaining standing quicker and/or provide more options
as soon as you gain 1 standing point, possibly 2 - that list gets reshuffled to not include so many system race missions
visited same system, on a creative save, vykeen standing = 0
pixy visited same system on her main save, normal mode, which most likely has vykeen standing >0:
You are 100% correct! I just checked and the save where I did that mission yesterday only has a standing of 1 and it still shows only the Vy'keen missions. However, the save where I pretty much completed the Expedition has a standing of 5 and it shows the Guild missions instead.
It's fun figuring things out!
i love HG

I'm bored so I'm going to reach the galactic core on this expedition save
@south saddle
No gifs in this channel please
I did the vykeen quest but still don't get the takeing photo quest 😭
yeah, it's because you already had vykeen standing that you don't see it. don't worry. there's at least 2 systems very close to rendezvous 2 system, that you should be able to piece together bits of info to orient yourself and find them without the assistance of a mission, just by distance to rdv2, race, other points of reference.
Why isn’t there a space station in the starter system?
It’s a yellow star system and it has life so I’m a bit confused
sure there is
OMG I FOUND IT
TYSM
wasn't that difficult was it? it's super close
took me 2 days 😭
Wait nvm I found it
congrats!! you finally got it!
nice 🙂
If I recall, airless planets have rusted metal as deposits right?
correct
@outer sinew ^ if you got at most 1-2 standing points in vykeen, i had 0
if not, the system is still close enough to rdv2 that it can be found by just cursoring over different systems at about that same distance
@cedar flower For reference, this pin lists all the rendezvous points with respective glyph coordinates and names: #nms-expedition message
@remote thunder If you're around, do you know the answer to this? 
-# I'm not currently on my laptop to use !coords and get the exact distance between rdv 1 & 2
Ive advised to teleport to RV1 or a base, they went through a blackhole
Thank you! 
Thats why I asked if you had gone through a blackhole, the only other reason would be if you were following the wrong waypoint. either way fastest way back is just teleport back. Luckily these days, HG label the space stations with RV1 etc
Yea thank the devs for that
anyone have a list of items needed for the next redux, Adrift?
probably usual, pyerite, uranium, chromium
Cant even remember which the adrift one was
ohhhh the one when you are on your own
iron vulture and teh haunted frigate
WAIT, what you mean on your own? like no one else around at all even at teh anolomy
was it the sentinel farming one?
all systems are abandoned in exp13
so no space stations/vendors?
I think it was the one with no mp
I usually do from a new save anyway so no prep for me as they are easy enough anyway
guess i better make sure my ship is good to go then
how can I find planet for this quest?
just find a planet with deep oceans, they are kinda common. the Nautilon with the scanner can help find the wreck
any planet with water in an inhabited system will work
there's several on expedition route systems
@tacit pollen complete phase 4 milestone 1 for nautilon chamber, build it, delete it, use resources from it to build high powered sonar tech on nautilon; hop in it, quick menu, scan for sunken freighters
Many helpful players have placed and labeled bases with derelict freighter in water so check to see if there is one listed at transporter you are at
Yaknow, I want to say Thank you to Sean and the gang for the Redux's
I don't think I have said that yet.
We should have them constantly on a rotation. Breaking for new expeditions when they come along.
I hope we have more for the Christmas season. 3 more days on this one!!
Again, thank you,
They get boring all the time
As a new player that started one week before Aquarius, i am loving these both to learn many of the facets of the game i would not otherwise fine easily as well as catching up on great drops that came before i joined. I love them!! At least right now 😉
there are suken buildings and submerged ruins
which one i scan?
if you installed high powered sonar, there will be a scan target literally called sunken crashed freighter
i installed it but dont have that
anyone can help for the expedition?
help with?
the expedition
help with exactly?
srry im a newbie
nothing to be sorry about
not familiar with specific things
don't worry about that - think about your goal, tell us what milestone it is that you're struggling with if you started already, break it down in steps, we'll help - what's the first thing you need help with right now
i havent started it yet honestly
i'm there now, what do I need to find?
do you know about expedition game mode in general, ways to start an expedition run, etc? check !faq-expedition in #bot-spam
interact with the distress beacon center site
I dont see any beacon
I think I need to create a new game right?
for the expedition
two ways to start an exp run aka save:
- from the anomaly in an existing save
- from main menu
found it thanks 🙂
May I ask how many hours for me to finish the expedition
ooh this quest sounds scary
depends on game knowledge - how clearly will you interpret milestone objectives - how observant and capable of planning ahead you are. new players often knock it down in some 6-10h
select distressed sentinel interceptor, follow
with that mission on there, i see what could have been the "hardest part" is done already
actually getting a sentinel crashed ship marker
I played before but not that much.
@slender sphinx but! while you're running expedition,you can certainly ask for help, for tips, for clarification on what's what, what's required or requested
thats why I'm asking for some assistance here if someone is free 😄
all you need to do is ask
will do that later tonight. thanks for the help today ❤️
sure thing
no worries - you did great today! have a good one! 
jump in, start with the first milestone - obviously - which is going to be fix ship
that said - for example - there's a milestone to discover 8 creatures while progressing expedition
arrived on a new planet, if you see a creature you haven't scanned yet, scan it - counts towards a milestone that's from like phase 3, but you've not even left the starter system
that's right - only reach rendezvous milestones should absolutely never be done out of "phase"
Same with plant scanning
remember that reviewing milestones from phases ahead will give you an overview of what you can expect from milestone rewards ahead, and some of which might be really useful to complete other milestones still
this is where game knowledge comes in too
if you remember that deleting a nautilon chamber gives you the mats to craft high powered sonar on nautilon after you spawned it, that helps save time
why is high powered sonar useful? because it can scan for sunken crashed freighters directly - a POI needed for yet another milestone
again, saving time
any planet or moon with rusted metal on resource list; check <#nms-expedition message> and/or <#nms-expedition message>
Ill just finish eating and will launch the game later a bit.
have fun 🙂

Take something you can refine into Nanites once inside the expedition since there won't be any vendors to sell things to. You'll need those Nanites to bring in your ship and multitool. I'm also planning to get a full stack of Suspicious Packets (Tech) to take in with me for some upgrades I won't be able to buy. The Tech modules you don't use can be installed and scrapped for their resources. I also like to like to take in a GOOD one of each of the following for my Exosuit (Life Support, Defense System, Hazard Protection, Movement, Sentinel, Autophage). It's easily doable without these things, but it'll go faster in case real life gets in the way.
Out of curiosity how many days are in between expeditions?
good to kow, ty
💀 joy
Thank u!
well for teh redux's anyway, dont know about reg expeditions
Just completed phase 1 of the omega expedition, is it me or is it kinda like the first survival tutorial when we first started playing nms?
(btw how long does it take to complete omega expedition with all milestones complete?)
depends on game knowledge/average 4-6h
I have like 40 hours on nms already so it might not take too long

I've already done it when it first came out, no need to worry guys.
any tips on this quest?
You need to get sentinels on you while on foot on a planet and go to town on them
There are many ways to achieve that, for example picking up a gravitino ball or you can go to a space station, buy secret planetary data chart and itll locate a building for you, such buildings are usually guarded by sentinels and its much easier to fight them near some structures (Building can serve as cover + sentinels AI gets really stoopid when player enters a building)
Hi I was wondering where to find exotic animals which planet or solar systems
Rendezvous 2
System: Erkhas
From what I can see it has 2 Weird biome planets(gold as resource on planets info card) and you should find Exotic creature on them
This was so helpful. Thank youbk201 you are always so incredibly helpful.
@atomic estuary thank u I ended up coming across a planet but my question is for expedition backpacks I unlocked at the quick silver but not showing up in appearance changer
If you mean it doesn't show up on your primary save then you have to claim it again from quicksilver companion on the primary save
Also got Hesperia Visage and that doesn't show up either
I did claim on primary save
Hesperia shows up as perses visage
Can you double check that those items are redeemed in the quicksilver shop?
I think i have those on my save too, ill check
you have to select Race as "Traveller"
I got the back pack
Change your race to traveller and it should be there
no problem, some cosmetics are available only to certain lifeforms
omg I cant even kill 1 sentinel 😭
you can try completing Phase 3 while ignoring that milestone for now, phase 3 rewards Atlas Sceptre which comes with neutron cannon and at A class, other milestones also give upgrades to different weapons
Another tip is Paralysis mortar, you can unlock its blueprint at the space anomaly, it stuns enemies and gives you a chance to get a couple of shots
great tip!
Running around Gaden Beta I can barely find any Fungal Mold errr
that was fun
from your discoveries page -> flora -> select fungal mold -> then the game will guide you to them
How long is left for the expedition?

Thank you!
anytime :)
Hopefully I can manage to finish it
I believe in ya
I've done the first two phases, and a milestone or two and the rest
just know that when the game asks you to take a pic of an airless planet it means any planet that has rusted metal on it

If i expand my multi-tool and ship within the expedition, does those expanded MT and ship get copy over to my main save? I couldn't find this information out online.
So the process you used to bring the MT and ship into the expedition works the same when you leave. You set the MT and Ship to primary before you leave the expedition and make copies of them back on the primary game save. With ships (not sure about multi tools) your copy may be grayed out due to the original still being in your ship catalog. So you might have to scrap the ship to allow for the copy to happen.
@misty plinth so then, expanded slots should be brought over to the main save as well. i've never done an expedition before. thus all of this is very new to me. should i go back to my main save and delete a MT and ship before finishing the expedition? i may be close to max on both ships and MTs. I did finish and collect all rewards within my expedition though. i'm not sure if that matters. maybe i can't return to my main save now?
@river star You can leave the expedition save to go to the primary save any time prior to using the terminal to complete and close it out. So if you want to check open slots for MT and ship - go into the options menu and select return to primary.
You can also use terminal slots to transfer items back to primary save - just don't close out the expedition - use the menu return option
You can do this several times
i just be aware of transferring items back and forth. i had no idea what to bring over to an expedition when i first started it. Do you mean I can transfer more than the limit of items and technology packages by returning to the main save or are you referring to something else?
Just keep in mind - The copy of the MT and ship will cost you nanites.
i assumed so. it was like that in the expedition as well. i assume it's not possible to bring the repaired crashed interceptor ship as well as the starborn back to my main save? that interceptor ship is a badass ship as well lol
@river star I've been able to take out all the important items going back and forth between save states - if that makes sense
You can bring over more than 1 ship
Just have to switch the one you have in use prior to returning to the primary save state.
is this returning to your main save after dropping items into the terminal at the anomaly? isn't that kind of cheesing it though. i may not be understanding this process though
i thought so. bummer.
Why is it a bummer? If you have 3 ships you want to transfer you just have to hop back and forth those 3 times and pay the nanites for each copy. Assuming you have room for them in the primary save.
As for cheesing the system - maybe it sort of is but you did the work - why not take what is important enough that your willing to put in the effort to keep?
Ooooh! i understanding now. i thought there was a hard limit. one ship, one MT per expedition.
oh, damn
i'm gonna test this now. thank you for taking the time to reply to me.
i'll let you know you if i get confused with the process. it sounds start forward
@river star You're welcome - hope everything goes well for you with the transfers.
Testing it now!!! Let's see how this goes
Is there anything special I need to know for the companion eggs? I know I can claim them after i complete my expedition, but I'm not able to transfer them directly through the expedition terminal. I haven't tried hatching eggs before.
I don't have a great deal of experience with the eggs either. Back when I was starting a new save for every expedition it wasn't a concern. But as far as I know - none of the companion eggs transfer into or out of an expedition. I don't know the why of it.
@river star The QuickSilver vendor should have the special companion eggs for you to collect outside of the expedition when you are done.
You can hatch the ones inside the expedition to see if you like them or not. Maybe even do a little experimentation with them while there is still time remaining.
Oh okay. Nothing extra for the eggs outside of the QuickSilver NPC. I will try hatching them in the expedition mession. Thank you again for helping me out.
Redoing the expo for the second time

Here's a curious question.
If I build a base in the expedition, complete / leave the expedition in the terminal, and wait until the expedition leaves and returns ~ will that base be available when it comes back?
To who ever helped me out with the mats to get the sentinel ship in the expedition thank you and I will pay it forward. I was able to claim the ship
When exp ends. Base will merge with main save base list. Exp reduxes are usualy in diffrent systems than og expedition.
What if built in redux?
Same outcome . If exp will be back again it will be in diffrent route systems again.
wait, if were alone and have abandoned stations in Adrift, we cant bring expansion modules can we?
i feel empty after compreting expedition
I use the time between expeditions working on my main save and collecting the quicksilver items on my main. Also going to the exotic world that were in the expedition and collecting the things on the planets to put in my main base
That one was difficult with storage space. Don't skip the screen when completing the expedition rewards that give you slots, you can't expand them otherwise that I could find
ok, so prepackaged trade rocket, refiner, ansdother tech for tool, ships and suit
Yeah, you can apply them when the reward is given
actually gonna copy tool and ship over, no need for prepackaged
But if you skip them there's no stations to use the item to expand
think ill wait until it starts and see what you guys say we need to bring
I didn't use them and instead took them back at the end, still prepackaged so I can bring them on another expedition.
yall whats the next redux
Adrift, aka exp 13
U can expand all inventory on the space station
In that expedition you couldn't
In that specific expedition all of the stations were empty/abandoned
Anyone still running this
Can I meet up with somebody later to get an echo locator for a sentinel ship 🙏
any tips on "leaning new words" milestone?

go to any spacestation and talk with npc from them , not the shops there are around 10 random npc walking around
Monoliths and knowledge stones while exploring will contribute to the requirement.
Is omega over yet ?

Oh not bad only a couple days left
I did it!! Thanks for all the help guys
congrats!
guys what expedition is up now?
i ment ship reward for expedition
i really want the 1 that has like 2 hoverpad wing thingys but i dont remeber the name of it or what expedition is in 😭
iron vulture, expedition 13, will rerun after expedition 12 is over
thank u very much :DDDD
also what expedition is the ship that kinda looks like a flying scoror?
you mean the boundary herald? that's from exp 16 the cursed, also getting a rerun soon
16 will be quite the "shock", but once you understand the mechanic, it will be easy
pretty much - exp13's "universe" is completely abandoned though, all inhabited systems become abandoned in exp13
Anyone know if the Photo mode HAS to be scorched, frozen, and airless? Or can it be a similar?
I'm on a charred atm, but it isn't doing anything
scorched (solanium on resource list), frozen (frost crystal), airless (rusted metal)
what platform are you on?
Xbox
The biggest pain with photo mode based missions since they don't seem to register (in my case anyways)
Literally the last mission I need
Managed to take photos of a frozen and hot planet by using the method of (entering photo mode) pressing the Xbox button, backing out and pressing A
then be patient, wait for the notification that a screenshot was taken, then exit photo mode
there's this as well, in case that doesn't work:
To capture a screenshot instead, (enter photo mode) open the guide and press the Y button instead of the X button.
Note The screenshot is made when you press the Xbox button . Pressing the Y button saves it.
(then again be patient and wait for screenshot taken notification to pop, then exit photo mode
Oh thank God it worked
Thank you
I was gonna cry if it never got through
Thanks
Honestly this one the one thing that always stopped me with every expedition (when I played frequently)
this way of taking screenshots should always register, but remember to be patient 🙂
It's done, thank you so much
I love the expeditions redux, allowing us to enjoy the hidden lore of this gem of a game.
Can't wait for the next expedition though.
It's nice to have it, but to be completely honest here
I am sooo tired of constant expeditions, in aspect of constantly starting from scratch
I wouldn't want them to be more frequent 🥲
Okay, you pass some items to your main save, but still
hi guys, just finished the expedition, got two questions. first, do I keep my base at main save once I finish this one?
or does it get removed?
How will things work when the next Expedition starts? I've been wondering if you can just stay in the current one until it ends and then it'll automatically roll over to the next one?
I don't think so, you'll have to quit current one and start anew
All Expedition bases go back to your main save
Bases in exp merge with main bases list after exp ends
so I keep them? and can fast travel to systems I've been to during expedition?
I can just freely visit and manage them?
I liked the starting planet here, had to build a base, would like to keep it
great
second, I claimed the plane reward in expedition. should I "copy" it to main save or claim it again? would it be exactly the same?
To my knowledge, everything synchronises after you finalise the expedition on your secondary save
Planets are cross mode. So if u have address u can visit it without going to expedition.
Including discovery and base ownership
how about this?
in theory I could copy it, then scrap it on exp save, then transfer materials, right?
Do you mean, you've got a ship in expedition and want to copy it using nanites?
U can only do it before finishing the exp.
In fact
You can copy ship/multitool after you've closed your secondary save
But, while you can do that, you don't have to, since your reward will be obtainable from Quicksilver Companion
The guy on the right from Expeditions terminal
but I can copy through expedition terminal or claim again from qs guy, right?
But yeah, if you want more than one copy of starship
please.. plesae tell me i did not make this mistake. I started a new save for the expedition because thats what i was TOLD TO DO. But now that ive completed the expedition, i see no where to transfer my items to my main save.. is this because i didnt start the expedition on the terminal in my main save? and because i made an entirely new save?
Quicksilver guy allows claiming special Expedition reward once per save
but would those two ships be the same? can they vary in some upgrades?
U can only redeem qs items once per save
ok, got you, thanks!
If we are talking stats-wise, they will be same
any customization difference? once copied, polo figurine stays there?
Yeah it should
But upgrades:
- If you clone from expedition save (closed or not), you will get your exact build you had in expedition
- If you claim it from quicksilver companion (that's a 1-time-per-save deal) it comes in default configuration it was rewarded as
not ignoring you, I'm as new as you. I didn't start a new save and can transfer stuff

Expedition Info
Game mode explained:
Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.
To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future
Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players (
) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

I know, i think its BECAUSE I started a new save that i cant. I'm gonna cry
Seems to be the case. haha FML
thanks. I just claimed, it's default, so it shouldn't matter. BUT I could copy, then break first one down and transfer materials, right?
Oh... Yeah, about that... I don't think making a separate save will allow passing items from that save to any other one directly
Just the rewards
Will become claimable
you keep the staff, plane and customization. you're down some 20 mil units, 20 k nanites, 10 k qs. is that much? would that matter?
Yeah, i believe so, if i understand you correctly
I believe it's frustrating, but you'll forget about that in two next expeditions time probably
It was my first expedition.. you can imagine how sad i am, lol.
Just take off any upgrades you might want to use before you destroy ships
guess im doing another expedition!!!
lol ffffs. can anyone confirm that its accurate that if you start on a new save, theres nothing to transfer? No transferring to another save even though it is an expedition?
should be able to transfer stuff on anomaly
You see
im in denial
that's the spirit
doesnt give me an option at the anomaly. just says "expedition complete, wait for the next one!"
As far as i know, you can pass things from secondary save to primary save, if you've started expedition as a save, secondary to another one
And also
and youre in the exp save?
Yep
Also that ^
what is it that you'd like to transfer?
At the very least, the Starship i just got. ;-;
starborn runner?
i love my companions too
I'm like half a step ahead of you in terms of experience
That's going to be impossible to pass
But!
Yeah, it's an expedition reward
go to main and switch ships?
anomaly qs shop, collect exp rewards dialog option
no problem
It's available for every save
can be done once per save, any save under this account
^
@pastel bone the same will happen with all the phase rewards, + optional milestone rewards from phases 2 to 5
oh, so technically I'm having two characters on ONE save?
okay, its just going to be my inventory that i lost. which that does suck. but i at least have all the expedition rewards!
thank yall so much!
the quicksilver you earned in the expedition run - spend it in the expedition save, then goto main save, create quicksilver items in qs shop, claim those same items for free
Kind of, it's really 2 saves, between which you switch via Expedition terminal at Anomaly
yeup! It worked. It's just my precious inventory that i lost now (sad about that :c )
that's what I meant @pastel bone
ahhhhh this makes sense now
As mentioned, someoen can help transfer
thank yall! This solved my problem. Still stuck without my inventory that i grinded on, but the ship was what is key. :)
i assume, once its a normal save, go to anomaly and have someone hold onto my stuff while i come back from another save?
or what would be the way?
but is there anything worth the time it'd take to transfer? 🙂
just the modules!
otherwise, nah
Oh i believe there is, for a new player
exactly
LOL
Thank you all!! i was about to faceplant into my keyboard out of rage and denial
Even with my ~900 hours i still pass down some things from expeditions honestly
Don't x)
face is saved, for now
I'm less than 90 into the game, but I even disassembled every single room in freighter base and transfer every last piece of spare materials 😉
Entirely understandable
just finished the story mode, got containers filled to the brim with chromatic metal. won't leave any of it behind anyway.
btw, did you ever see running mould in large quantities? 🙂
on my main save, not the expedition!
did you see other player bases called "nanite farms"?
i did not
Will I be able to play Adrift exp when it starts on the 11th even tho I finished it back when it was first introduced?
Cool, and rewards will stay as claimed from the start I guess. Ship etc
Is there a quick way for me to get nanites so I can import my ship and multi-tool?
complete phase 3 milestone 1, use ticket to freedom, buy sus packets tech/arms, unpack, sell x-class modules for nanites
I used the modules forgetting that I could sell them for nanites :/
Oh, I have the ticket to freedom but didn't know what to do with it
yes, all rewards unlocked account wide in the past will be there yep, once you get to the anomaly
Cheers!
REALLY struggeling to find airless and fire planet..
Set rusted metal or solarium as what you're looking for, then use the galaxy map.
Look for systems that aren't labeled with water in the galaxy map to find airless planets.
Phase 3 of the expedition? I can help
yes
Just take a picture of an arid planet instead of scorched
It works
I was searching for hours but then I found that arid planets work too
If you need to unlock solanium there's a base in the first phase system that has a farm with all crops.
Airless should not take too much time, just look in galaxies with red or yellow stars
which base is that?
It should say something like all Starter Help All Plants 20x
nop cant find it in anomaly
You have to go to the first expedition system.
oooh airless/dead abse
I just started expedition -- any chances I will able to finish it? 😅
yeah just go go go go
Should be able to just barely complete it.
Tip: DO NOT GET RID OF THE TICKET TO FREEDOM
Finding an outlaw system without it would take forever
(Speaking from experience)
i find outlaw systems by mistake all the time xD
Quit hogging the luck
I have conflict scanner on my ported ship
xD
Also, for some reason, NMS have something like 10 FPS Oo
It had 75 before
so what am i looking at to find a scorched planet?
Dry, I assume
Get lucky
Or hop in and out of planets until of them says something about taking a picture
maybe this desert planet will work :p
desert planet... and 80% is awter.. good job xD
solanium on resource list
planet or moon
missing the resource sadly...

cant see anything other then the planets ive visited myself it seems
where, exactly?
steps:
goto rdv2;
interact with mission board in space station, see if you have a "take screenshot in scorched world", take it.
see if it leads to this exact system shown on galaxy map. it has a scorched, a frozen and an airless.
which part are you having difficulty with?
Are there any scripted battles in this expedition?
yep, freighter rescue battles can happen in exp12
How hard they are? I just thinking playing it in VR, but any kind of battle in it is bad
As in, controls in VR are not responsive and precise enough
to find the scorched planet...
mission board has nothing of it
and you're in Erkhas, right?
see a lot of vykeen missions?
or just 1 vykeen mission?
that's why you don't see the screenshot mission, vykeen standing >2
ill go back to base and check
no worries
goto rdv2 - open galaxy map - find the system by hand - it's close enough
a gek system called ;o , 18LY away from rdv2
found ;o
How do I find a glyph portal?
now a planet with solanium, anoter with frost crystal, and another with rusted metal - all in that system

- For uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that system via photomode, and portal to it from another system.
- To fully use the portal network, the player should have unlocked all 16 portal glyphs.
- A portal is not the same as a teleporter. See the differences here »

Go to #bot-spam and run!Faq-PortalGlyphsto learn about glyphs and!Faq-PortalUsefor using portals.
monolith->same monolith, 2nd interaction->portal
easiest way is to complete the main storyline, no hassle, no fuss about
Gotcha
I can’t find a airless planet
also a requirement to later unlock autophage quest/content
see <#nms-expedition message>
So do the red main mission stuff before worrying about glyphs
check !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam , mission the purge, 1 glyph per warp - after 16th warp, swap to trash ship and MT, package installed tech/modules on suit: then go through the marked portal
I get to keep my good ship though, don't need to take parts off it?
yep, only suit+equipped ship and MT installed tech/modules will get damaged
Awesome, I assume same thing with freighter, get to keep it to
I’m done the expedition. Can I do multi trips back and forth putting stuff in the Expedition Terminus? And then do I collect rewards in expedition or in main save before ending expedition?
Wait was I not supposed to claim it in the exposition save?
Should I seize a dreadnought or demand tribute
Is it better than ur current one
Seize it if it's better than yours
But you will lose trade in value since they're all free
So if you want a new non dreadnought it will be full price
Yes but I’m not sure if the total price of the dreadnought will transfer onto my main save
Idk
Does having a freighter/dreadnought transfer into units nanites or somethin is what I’m askin
Colect in main save before ending.
Freighter will dreadnought wont
Dreadnought costs 0
It will sell any tech and cargo though
yes, you were - it doesn't matter - technically the expedition run you're on is considered a different save, so claim status on qs shop in expedition run is irrelevant
Oh thank the heavens
i mean, you were supposed to click on the button to actually get the egg rewarded on the expedition, that's what unlocks them acct wide - you didn't have to go to anomaly qs shop to get them in expedition
just to make sure that's clear
Egg?
The optional task icon to get pet eggs
child of helios/sentinel quad/biohorror/sandworm
the optional phase milestones, remember
Yeah
it was just 3 scans on each rdv planet
Ok nice
those companion eggs can be obtained from other players later if you got multiplayer
Nah I’m on switch
People play on switch? I thought I was the only one lmao
Can I do the shortcut on expedition even tho I only have 12 hours on my main save?
Should I be saving the inventory upgrades for when I transfer back to my main save?
RIP
Well, now I know
"the shortcut"?
I mean, can I bypassa the other quests?
personal choice - most will use at least a few on their exp char just to make their life a little easier
Remimd me, how do I unlock access to Anomaly in expedition?
You should unlock that in Phase 1 after completing "Interstellar". Nada will ping your ship communicator and ask you to come aboard the anomaly at that point.
Ah. Thanks.
That's fair. Do you know what the limit for the exosuit is?
exosuit can be upgraded to 60 tech and 120 cargo
if by inventory upgrades you meant inventory slot upgrades 🙂
nah, nothing to be sorry about 🙂
@tender ridge 🙂

Woof. Not much time
Are the companion eggs something you would bring back when ending an exhibition from your regular main save? What about the glitches and fireworks? Just trying to figure out what to upload before ending the exhibition. Oh and what about the ships? I like color and shape of the main ship I started with but also want to make sure I can get the final reward ship. I don't need to end the exhibition with a specific ship, right?
Looks like the eggs I can get from the location in the anomaly if I am reading things right.
Awesome that's just what I needed!
Once you complete an expedition that save file is converted to a normal save file with everything intact from the expedition... Once you finish the expedition any save file can access the reward ship via the Quicksilver terminal in the Nexus
That's if you start with a new save. This is my main save.
Ohhhh
Eggs definitely don't transfer so I don't need to worry about those.
I always use a fresh save cuz I was worried about inventory mixing.. That's a good question
Yeah was paranoid but last two exhibitions have worked fine. Just not sure about how ships work. Glitches probably don't matter but not sure how rare they are.
i just finished my first expedtion the way ships work when getting them is you can sue nanites to bring the ship from expedtion and vice versa to wherever you want. i used that method to build a s class solar ship instead of hunting for it
now in this one the final reward is a ship that u can just get to ur main save from the quicksilver shop hope that helped 🙂
Ah cool. Wasn't sure about the quicksilver aspect. Thank you
np bro friend told me to do the expedtion when i got back into nms i was at the beginning and grinded my way to where i am at now for like the whole week massive fun
Can I empty expedition terminus to main save, then go back to expedition and put more stuff? And someone above said I don’t need to do eggs?
Wait, at the end of the event will the stuff I claimed from phase 1 and 2 be transferred to my main save?
i play on switch tooo
@remote thunder Hi Hi...hope you had a great weekend!
Yes, you can put stuff in the expedition terminus, use menu options to return to main save (don’t quit the expedition), unload the terminus, then use the terminus to resume expedition
You can use this as many times as necessary to keep returning things to your main save
Anyone know where to find the airless planet
Look for a planet with rusted metal listen as a resource, and no plants listed as resources; they’re apparently more common around red stars, too.
You can use your catalogue to look up rusted metal and set it as an active objective and it will help you identify systems where it is present.
Thank you
Anticipating adrift, is there something we need to know for making it smoother ? Like do certain mission together or bring enough silver or just notice certain things at the start like "airless planet " in omega ?
it's not free to claim ship reward? 🥺
Anyone who can tell me the names of systems in the exhibition area that have scorched or airless planets?
For the Grand tour milestone
Scorched should be in one of the rendezvous systems - look for a planet containing Solanium in its resource list
For airless you just need to find a planet with rusted metal - ideally red star waterless systems
Thanks
Does something like charred count as scorched, or does it need to say scorched specifically?
Got it, thanks! Now for airless
Hey sorry! The planet names (airless, charred, verdant, reeking etc) don't matter. There are some names (like dead) that appear in wildly different biomes (abandoned and barren) making them sometimes useless to figure out which kind of planet it is - look at the materials in the orange boxes, they're what define which biome the planet has :)
I finished the exhibition! (Except the additional milestones)
Nice!

awhhh
Hi! I've been warping like crazy and I cannot get to rendezvous 2. I'm starting to feel this is a bug 😂
went through black hole previously; because of it, moved away from expedition route; teleport back to rendezvous 1, try again
