does it work the same with freighters?
im trying to get an S class resurgent
Just a thought it would be neat to have a Christmas themed expedition with a Christmas planet with alien reindeer

Expedition Adrift

Event ends <t:1735120800> (<t:1735120800:R>)

in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam
So, I just started the current expedition - the MT I've started with looks like something new -- anyone else have this?
Picture?
I can, just a momento ...
It's very ... round.
Experimental
So ... seen one like it before?
starter mt in the game looks somewhat like that, but a different colour scheme.
If you mean the orange colored small one, this one is noticeably larger -- thought I was holding a white basketball for a moment
how do i find the anomalie in expedition 13
after first warp
thanks
I did mean the orange one, yes
The 'waveform focuser N56-P'?
don't ask me names, I've long since moved on from that mt on every save
Is the Adrift about the same length and difficultly of omega?
Yeah, it's the OG starter tool
A bit more difficult iirc but around same length
hm it might be more difficult because there are less helpful resources (no npcs). but it's not hard per se
what should i bring into this expedition?
Omega was also built as a slightly easier introduction to the game since it was originally released for free trials of the game
how do you get the condensed carbon for the refiner??
#nms-expedition message this is a good list
just use regular carbon?
no to install it
you need condensed carbon
but you dont have the portable refiner recipe
in the expedition
Oh Adrift again?
look at milestones and rewards, you get the personal refiner
work towards that
Can i get adrift rewards again?
can you get to the anomaly to pick up items from your main save in this expedition?
If i already complete this expedition when it first come in this world?
if you already have them, you can't claim them a second time...
Ok
where?
i mean what milestone
you can get to the anomaly, the terminal should work
um it was From the Ashes phase 1 milestone 2 in the original run
Oh no the hardest task is back.. be calm lol
lolol
you get personal refiner mk2 plans
YEAH!!!! Be calm!
that you need condenced carbon for
I AAAAAM CALLLLLM !!!!!
do i just go walk and find something that has it
you can get condensed carbon from smaller carbon crystals, or from searching some red containers at cargo crops
I don' t think it's a secondary element in anything (could be wrong)
Cursed dust my presious ... who controls the cursed dust controls the universe
U need to install the better mining beam first so then u can just mine for it
i haven't found anything with it yet
it should be already installed if the player has the refiner plans
which means the larger carbon crystals are also a viable source
Guess I got lucky I had it all on the starting planet
I man it is onthe starting planet, it's a matter of finding some
Any reason planetary charts aren't on this list? The drop pod kind, at least, seem even more useful than usual.
yuo get some suit slots for rewards
note that list of things to bring is for the omega expedition, you will want to adjust it for the current one (you could look at the original list of milestones and rewards and make some guesses) https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Expedition_13:_Adrift
Gotcha, thanks,
I am about to spam some Guntie commands to get the expedition overview posted here. Reminder: There will be a moment between the last phase, before posting the full overview.
Please bear with me for a moment ๐ฅฐ

Thank you! ๐
Oh wow
Anything i should bring me to make it smoother ?
I stand corrected, the list was for the original adrift, I misunderstood one of the recommendations
Cool expedition
Would be cool if a galaxy was empty in main game
I guess the reason I can't see other players on the anomoly is all part of the expedition?
Or is that a spoiler?
uh huh. but.... try using the scanner (like you scan for um buildings from your ship, whatever key or button that is)
have/are they going to redux the first Expedition? i never finished it the first time around sadly.. 
Deuterium for a ship launch thruster that's new
pioneers? it has been done. and I think the reward has been brought back separately on another redux too...
How do I make this If I can't get into space to get tritium
pin the milestone, check log/tooltips for another recipe
or... check the wiki, heh https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Deuterium#Source
There's a wiki very cool
there is, very well maintained, some really dedicated wiki workers
-#
to view info below, enable embeds
Items you may want to bring:
- Basics: Ferrite Dust, Magnetised Ferrite, O2, Pyrite and Uranium, Warp cells/Warp hypercores, Chromatic Metal or ingredients for preferred chromatic metal refiner recipe (e.g. Activated Indium)
- Optional: Items to refine to nanites e.g. Hyaline brain (1:230), Inverted mirror (1:95), Radiant shard (1:50), Tainted Metal (1:2), Runaway mould (5:1)
- Optional: Items to sell for units e.g. Starship AI Valve, Stasis Device
- Optional: 1 Solar Mirror
- Optional: if not copying ship from main save: Emeril or packaged Indium drive, packaged Launch Auto recharger, Hyperdrive upgrade module (s-class recommended)
- Optional: Carrier ai fragment (to get a sentinel ship, completing phase3 milestone 5)
- Optional: 6 Crystal Sulphide
- Optional: Storm crystals for warp hypercore crafting and selling for units
- Optional: Exosuit upgrade Planetary Charts

are there optional objectives this time?
nope
ok
Wait
@remote thunder this is the one with the Vulture right?
ahuh
Might be worth checking if this still works and if so make it so itโs higher up in the pin list
#nms-expedition message
let's let people get started in the expedition first ๐ but later yep we probably want to shuffle the pins around
yeah, we'll double check if it's needed to have "scrap" after "copy" - should be able to copy multiple times, as many as they have slots available
is the solar mirror for a craft step in the missions?
I know it was needed last time because I checked personally if I could copy multiple times over without scrapping
But it said I already owned the ship
high powered sonar crafting component
towards sunken freighter milestone
i was personally able to copy multiple vultures without scrapping the previous
might be a platform thing/bug
Maybe it had to do with switch vs no switch then
Starter system interceptor model
yeah, maybe, let's keep a closer eye on that
hmm nice from outside but cockpit view wouldn't be great
I recall beating the expedition very quickly, before the first few bug fixes so could be that
we'll see, no worries if anything needs improving ๐
let's try and find an easy DF layout as well
oh heck we will have that issue too yeah
DF?
derelict freighter
derelict freighter
Ooh
can't go buy a bunch of upgrades, see....
๐
but you can buy tons of emergency signal scanners at low price from trade terminals
How does copying things from existing files work? This would be my first expedition so I'm not set on how they work (and what a first expedition)
if you're asking about items - whatever you put in the stash, it takes away from primary save ivnentories; if you're asking about gear, then it's straight up a copy (cargo inv is discarded)
tech items and resources are truly transferred; once placed in the anomaly terminal from the main save, they are no longer available to the main save
mt and ship are copies, th emain save keeps them both
You can send over 8 tech modules and 24 items. These are NOT copied
You can also send your ship and multitool. These ARE copied and will stay on the other save
This works both ways
...this is my fault for trying to read up on half a migraine haha
Damn you two are too fast
ooohhh.. ouchie. my sympathies
...I should probably get to the anomaly first in my baby save
well yes, otherwise you can't transfer items over .....
Thanks XD NMS is basically my new addiction now. If my head re explodes when I land somewhere, I'll take the hint
Iโm in a baby save too. Itโs not too hard to clear Awakenings and then youโre good
I'm a really fresh player
I'm waiting to see how many bugs are going to happen today ๐
Thank you! I finally took the plunge during the recent steam sale, because I have had a long standing goal of... Space island house. It's more possible here than elsewhere
WELCOME
That'll be weird XD I don't know if you can pass things back and forth between a post exhibition save or not?
Yes
Oh very good
if you start from an existing save, you can pass items back to it from the expd version (8 tech and 24 resources) at end expd time
and you can make copies of equipped gear from expd save to main save (for a cost of lke 2.8k nanites or an S class ship let's say)
Yeah I'm going to have to adjust some of my stuff. I saw that list. ๐คฃ Before I start
Thereโs a way to make multiple transfers. I havenโt gotten it to work
I'm currently wandering around on relaxed difficulty and thinking of starting a creative mode save, so I might be in for a rude awakening
it will be a little tougher. there are some dificulty settings you can adjust in the expedition
oh also
TURN OFF PVP
Always turn that off
Oh, glad you can still make difficulty adjustments
๐ซก did that earlier! Unless you have to do it per save
Make sure nobody can mess with your bases and stuff turn that off too. And nobody can grift your land
Oh boy okay. I'll check that over when I start
there are jerks who camp out at spawn in sites just hoping to screw over other players, only a handful, but that's all it takes
I saw one that went and destroyed somebody's base because they didn't turn that off.
So make sure you always turn that is off automatically if they're not turned off
luckily it's easy to deter those bleepers, just change your settings and bob's your uncle
"bye Felicia" with the flip of a switch
ayup
Yeah basically if you don't do that your base gets destroyed and everything else.
One day it'd be opt in for that, instead of opt out.
from primary to expedition? no
from expedition to primary? yes
It'll be nice to be kitted out on my Relaxed file
I have a relaxed playthrough. I have a normal playthrough I have a hardcore playthrough. Depending on what mood I'm in and I play lol
I am missing my reactions right now XD I rely on the ability to quickly nod in acknowledgement!
Lol
Not much has tried to kill me yet, aside from caves full of toxic spewing plants and that time when the temperature on my starting planet doubled
you'll have a few new opportunities for that in the expd ๐
Watch out for the hissing plants when you go in the caves. Always look around a cave first before you go in ๐คฃ
Oh boy
There's Venus fly traps all over every every planet almost. On most of them but not all of them They're easy to kill.
You get oxygen from them ๐
I see those a lot. Only accidentally stepped on one once. It's the poison puffers in caves that get me XD
"ALBUMEN PEARLS!!! oh shoot I see green-"
Yeah the puffers are the ones that. Will surprise you. They're all over the place too.
Seriously...
the chompers have wayyy too large a hitbox. they used to get me all the time, every time
I landed on a planet where it was mostly Venus flytraps and puffers that blow up on you. I was like WTF LOL
there's a trick - if you don't aim your visor at them - they don't pop
I'm never quite sure how much of anything is normal to have as I go, beyond "grab everything of everything" (but I'm also a weirdo and don't want to disturb the environment too much)
the puffers are nice, you can just run by and grab the oxy off the pods
thenrun back by and grab the second pods, then run by a third time for the last one, then shootie shootie ๐
Oh yeah you can get a lot of oxygen I actually made a base on that planet just for oxygen.
Yesterday I stopped mining copper because local fauna kept falling into the pit and I didn't want to hurt them...
I'm a huge hoarder even in expeditions. but I will try not to mine stuff up around my base, I'll go to someone else's back yard for that
Oh you're going to get to the point where they're going to get in your way and you're just going to start zapping and killing them all the time ๐
lmao
eh nah, I don't kill the local fauna unless they aggro me
i have creature pellets on speed dial
If I'm trying to build or something and they keep getting in my way we going to have less wildlife lol
I cannot get to them fast enough (no keyboard shortcuts on controller, grr)
I need to get pellets. The funny bipedal kangaroo goat folks are my pals
Oh the pets that you can get in this game are awesome too. I think you're going to like that Syl
if you're a pet collector, there's plenty of cool ones around indeed
(and some expedition rewards give nice ones too)
(Not me having memorized the locations of the stuff i used the most in the quick menu)
Yeah I was telling them last night I found. A animal that looks just like the luck dragon from neverending story the other night
This is my next step to look into after basics
still takes me too long to get to the pellets, for whatever reason.
Press the left arrow at the speed of light
I know right
Unfortunately I really need a better handle on basics. I freak out every time my ship takes off. And landing? We do not talk about the stupid stuff that happens when I try to land
Newton, or is it Einstein, would like a word with you about that
if you haven't done some really janky parking jobs, you haven't really played this game
Cant press the arrow that fast
Oh I've done some really janky landing jobs ๐
But most of the time I'm pretty dead on when I land
It didn't help that the past 2 planets I was on had very... Angular terrain. I couldn't land reasonably near where I was supposed to because it was never clear
I just hover above a planet and press X until it lets me land
"Landing area is not clear" actually yes it is, I'm looking right at it and there's not a single obstacle would you just frickin LAND please" (they can put this on my tombstone)
I don't know if you know this but your multi-tool is your best friend you can flatten land. & Put landing pad down too so that later on you don't land janky
I'm so glad the landing process is automated. I've ended up doing accidental barrel rolls trying to get oriented
uh bear in mind terrain edits revert eventually
Yeah
That's what I was saying!
Yeah I know that's the reason why I don't dig into mountains I learned the hard way
Alternate landing pad is your friend
No landing pads yet
give it time, all will come
Yep yep
Gather technology modules
I'm hooked, I'm basically sitting here like "what will I do when I can next go to space"
I try to find as flat as possible land. Then put a base down . If I have to flatten it a little tiny bit that's okay
You could pulse for an hour/j
I need to work on this. Buried tech throws me, because I try to look for it... And, uh, it's buried. Here? No, deeper
Most times you can just walk over to the buried tech and just hit x without having to dig in the ground
Sometimes you have to dig though
I'd end up lost and out of fuel...
Last one I had was a good few chunks under
Iโve never had any struggles with finding them
Thats why you stock up
Another goal I have is to find places with pretty water to take picture of for my mom (it's a thing I do)
The funniest thing is when the tech is up in the air lol and you're looking for it on the ground ๐
Fr
See, simple things don't sink in easily for me XD
I know right ๐คฃ
"buried" tech uh huh
I wonder what the next expedition will be.
...why is is up in the air?!
Loading error
That's how it is on the planet when the loaded so lol
You can refuel while pulsing. Stock up on pyrite, a little goes a long way.
they are doing a series of reduxes, check the pins for the full list
Yippee
Ik ik, I meant, a new expedition, not a redux.
#nms-expedition message this has it for 2024
oh.... sorry. yeah we'll find out next year
I've definitely driven into it when cresting a hill.
Yeah we're done for 2024 expeditions. This is just repeating all the ones that people may have missed
Hello Games have been very creative, I'm sure the next expedition won't disappoint.
Looking forward to aquarius
I noticed that the Cursed is in the list.
End of January
Aquarius is one of my most favorite expeditions and you may have a problem with cursed ๐คฃ syl
Not gonna lie.
Aw man i missed omega

nope, feel free if you liked it
Unless I end up stuck in exploring endlessly, I'm starting in Adrift and that's going to be a doozy
Wait which expedition had the iron vulture
If you ever need any help with expeditions always come here there's a lot of people that will help you ๐๐
this one, Goose
I uhhh
This expedition sounds easier than the last, and I want that ship too. huzzah!
it's I think a little harder but nothing too difficult
I need to find a way to escape the American school system
can't help you there... but you do have two weeks.
Oof.
Thank you! Still need to get to anomaly on main though, ha
Yeah best way to kill walkers is grenades
I just got a mission that randomly needs me to be very high for no reason lol
In my normal save, I had a super fast firing and high damage boltcaster.
It literally melted away any enemy in matter of bursts.
That also works
For some reason I lost all the mods for it after I finished the last expedition.
Weird
Yeah, the multi tool was naked.
Its gunna take forever each stair up is like 5u at most lol
Totally naked like, nothing, not even mining laser.
I assume it was some sort of bug, so I didn't care, and proceed to make another build.
I hope you reported that to hg though
Kinda cool
Mostly sucks
Didn't. I was like. "OH I lost all the mods? Oh well. Time to build something better."
Is it possible to claim the same frigate if Iโve done this expedition already
won't unlock it twice
I canโt wait to decorate my dreadnought with destroyed ships
you can claim it in any save, would naturally get it in the expedition run again because it's a reward there, but it doesn't do the account wide unlock again
Actual trophy mounting
I have max rep with pirates for a reason
not to be trifled with...
a fleet of ghost/damned frigates

no crew on board either - run by a degrading AI -- #nms-the-future

sorry
hehe
Did that link a guide and Iโm missing it?
no, it did not link a guide; we don't usually post a full completion guide
what we often do is a post with suggested items to bring <#nms-expedition message>, <#nms-expedition message> so players can know before hand what milestones they have to complete, what rewards each gives; and finally the post with rdv locations (that we haven't yet made, but will get done when possible)
Seems if I just follow the in game expedition thatโs basically a guide
basically, yes
remember to review milestones ahead
there may be some that can be done right on the starter planet/system for example - and give you access to things that make your journey easier
Which channel do I ask about glyphs
Cause I got them all during the omega expedition but they didn't carry over to main save
Also did the Artemis quest up to where I was askrd to get the system coordinates for null but still nothing

The main storyline The Artemis Path is composed of these missions:
- Awakenings
- Alone Amidst the Stars
- Ghosts in the Machine (requires progression in Expanding the Base, a secondary quest)
- A Leap in the Dark
- The First Traveller
- Patterns in Time
- 16 / 16
- The Purge - 16 warps in any direction. It does not require travelling to the core.
- New Beginnings - Like the Space Anomaly mission, this will forever remain in your Log tab (even after this quest's completion).
Do not reuse portals found via the storyline to prevent bugs.
โ For in-depth questions about these missions, ask in #nms-spoilers, or in #nms-questions with spoiler tags --

:O adrift rerun
Okay, here js a question
I might have missed someone asking the same
But
I have passed Adrift before
I have rewards available for claiming through Quicksilver Companion
What happens if i pass the expedition again?
During rerun
Also what if i start it, but don't finish this time?
Any tips on finding a mountain thatโs 1,400u?
I believe it was Rendezvous 1 or 2 planet location that has huge peaks. Likely one that fits the requirement
Let me verify real quick
Can also use exocraft platforms
you don't get the rewards again, you already have them unlocked. if you don't finish it, you don't finish it, that's all
Time to go back into spaaaaa!ce (barring head explosion)
So to sum it up: i have the rewards, i can play it again for fun, i lose nothing if i do/don't finish it. Is that correct?
correct.
Much appreciated 
I tried to do the anomoly trick on the crashed starship mission now it's bugged lol
WTF was that thing that almost killed me at my ship
I have been doing them again myself as I find it's worth it for the amount of quicksilver, tech and resources you can take back to your main save
little preddie got ya nervous?
Sometimes a humming sac will open, but I can't pick up the pearl...
How I fix this mission it wants me to repair a already fixed launch thruster
yeah those can be buggy (the humming sacs)
try deselect and reselct the milestone? try mp off, save-exit-reload?
Bummer. ah well
perhaps get another crashed ship if save+reload or save+restart doesn't fix?
Yes to everything it's stuck on summon the crashed ship with the quick menu which I already did
@boreal root I can verify it was the RV2 planet that has loads of high mountain peaks
did you already try getting another crashed ship?
and fix that, without going to the anomaly?
I'll try that next gotta go to space for more gold
I thought the anomoly thing was recommended so I just did it lol
it's a bit of a glitch tbh
(a failsafe as well)
anyways, hopefully going the normal route will work ok
I accidentally fixed it by ramming asteroids looking for gold my pulse drive broke lol
hilarious!

Red star is actually best for synthetic creatures right
any uncharted system
^ might want to focus first on planets with gold on resource list
if more than 1 fauna species, then synth
Ok

Star systems can be inhabited, abandoned or uncharted. We can easily tell the difference between inhabited and uncharted, but abandoned systems are a little easier to miss. Take a look at the embedded image.

lower left, no race icon on galaxy map
I wish I was on my old save with all the runaway mold farms. Not many nanite resources on this new one. Is there anyway to bring nanites over to the expedition? Package them in some way?
you can ship over items to refine for nanites, that's your best bet for this expd

When autocorrect
I guess what Iโm saying is I donโt have any of the most lucrative items to make nanites. Itโs fine. Thereโs plenty of time right now.
Iโm orange!
I hope power comes back on soon
It says Iโm a familiar? Whoโs my wizard?
not gonna touch that one with a ten foot atlas staff
How easy will it be to get the sentinel ship this time around? Thinking about using the carrier ai from omega to find an interceptor, extract the brain for nanites
do you need nanites that badly?
I need items to bring to Adrift to make nanites. This is a new save and Iโm a baby right now
rerunning the expedition on a save that already has the rewards won't give me extras, right?
right
are you in aposition to run derelicts or too pricey?
And if I get a new save later, it'll have the rewards already unlocked for it, correct?
yes,any current and future saves can claim each expedition reward (once)
thank you very much
asking again just in case someone knows. Any idea where to find a 1,400u summit to climb? Found one build that went up a bunch of steps but capped at 1385 with my booster
rendezvous 2 planet has one nearby
Iโm not set up well enough, and I canโt run them very quickly. Itโll be fine
well in the expd there are worm babies on the starter planet at least, so you can go there to shoot them and refine the fleshy ropes at a minimum.
what are vile spawn and flesh ropes for?
Flesh ropes refine to nanites
nice, i may come back and kill more. lol
vile spawns give nanites too, just put them in the refiner
am currently doing gods work by giving people trinium so they can make themselves deuterium in the beginning
Dihydrogen and silicate powder also works
yea i figured that out after struggling for an hour lmao
What's it needed for here?
the launch thrusters
Ah
Ok red drive installed time to look for gold planets
Ok that didn't work found a weird ball thing but didn't count lol

So... what's up with the hermetic seal in Adrift being made with Oxygen?
I made a base at 1400U summit after u go through portal.
Fr I was confused with that
Also the launch thrusters needing deuterium?
I dont think ive used deuterium until today
Deuterium? Neat. Thatโs used in likeโฆ 1.5 other recipes.
Its atleast easy to make
Scatter Blaster core module needs 200, I think, and then the unavailable incinerator, andโฆ thatโs it?
1:1 for dihydrogen and silicate powder
Oh ya, super easy - dihydrogen + silica/tritium in refiner.
(And no Iโm not a recipe savant, I just looked it up two days ago to get better acquainted with core element alchemy for planning a few extraction bases.)
I completed three phases for some reason the third meeting spot was like 20 warps away from the others
The quicksilver vendor is broken lol
I got sick of the titan worms flinging me so I literally just flew across the system to a different planet just to get a break
they need to be the robotic ones, not exotic, if there's a single life form on the planet it won't do, you need two life forms on exotic worlds, find them both, scan ...
"broken by design"
Lol all that's left is his arm
wow my ship spawned inside a building, next to a worms nest
fire the pilot
It has come to my attention that whoever was on this planet before me named most of the minerals ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK
obviously cannot be trusted with a starship license
Lol
Some variations included
Mine spawned beside one which caused a problem when a titan worm nest decided to exist beside it
I killed it not because I had to but because I was pissed off
last expd I was busy initializing in and I could see the predator 1 meter away right in front of me, getting ready to swipe as soon as I materialised. Rude!
deuterium doesnt exist on this planet... nor can i go to space to fix it?
pin the milestone, check log and tooltips for an alternate recipe. if it won't tell you, check the wiki
you must have put in the personal refiner first
Look up recipes for it...
to make duterium with the mk2 i need tritum
no
yes?
there's anotehr recipe. we're telling you
Im desperately hoping that 30% of pulse drive fuel can make a 1 minute flight
It cant im fucked
wow the auto tooltips are THOUROUGHLY unhelpful in this
you can use silicate powder
however the "locate duterium" thing says to go to space
in the original run of the expedition, either the log or the tooltip or (maybe) the craft tree when you selected that, one of those showed the actual recipe that was useful
what's easier mining dirt or going to space to shoot an asteroid
well when your ship is not repaired, going to space is in fact much much harder ๐
I can post pics here but not on the main chat weird
it's a level thing....
also isnt this meant to be without any other players?
there's one right in front of me
can you see the player or just icons?
the player
huh that's different, you should only be able to see markers
(and bases of course)
also why is the repair recipe even different from normal
it's a new recipe introduced during the original run of this expd
I keep seeing jellyfish when I mine asteroids is that bad
no, it's ok
Do milestone to get medium refiner them refine di-hydrogen and silicone to get deuterium.
tooltip says tritum which is annoying
I dont like that theres an item thats called โflesh ropeโ
Mine said silicate
The only thing bringing me joy is doing flips while warping
I CAN FINALLY GET ON THE SPACE ANOMOLY
the station doesnt even have microproccessors how am i meant to get a hyperdrive
oh right you can craft them
Youโll never run out of pulse fuel without an asteroid containing tritium being within reach. Game is coded to prevent soft-lock issues like that.
Why is it empty
Why is the anomaly empty
Why is nada dead
What the
Theres other ships but I cant find anyone I dont like that
spoilers
Datamined info is for #nms-spoilers
Oh I just seen it on twitter srry
just called in anomaly, looks all beaten up on outside, cool.
Oh my god the quicksilver guy is just ripped apart
yep my bad
Go into options and turn PvP off
Just turn mp off completely haha
yea why is mp even on for this expedition
I'm already Midway through phase 4 pretty fun didn't even notice the time go by
So we can wave to one another as we do fly-by manuevers.
Is it worth it to get guardian ship in current event?
"guardian" ship? sentinel ship? well they have the highest warp range of any ship without any hyperdrive upgrades, so they could definitely help getting from rdv to rdv in one warp
Oh what
I was randomly in space
Interesting
I couldnt get a photo though :(
Fucking autocorrect
wait are we... ||are we artemis?||
what is cursed dust for?
so just farm teh shit out of it then
part of the refining chain into nanites as well
In an expedition, how in the world do I find red systems? Need to do that to get emeril so I can get to blue
????
cursed dust refines to goop, goop refines to fluids, fluids to slime, slime to mould, mould to nanites

Non-living ships and freighters require hyperdrive tech upgrades to be able to reach RGB systems. An Indium Drive (Starship) or Temporal Warp Computer (Freighter) will cover all systems, no need for the previous drives to be installed other than a boost to range -- most notable for the Freighter.
Note: There's no information in game files that proves the host star temperature and oddities have any influence at all on system planet biome probability chances.

this is a red star system: spectral class K

Good ole KGBFOAMโฆ
Just want to confirm: if I want to find a place i visited in a different save file (like, find it again in a creative mode save), I'd need the glyphs from, say, a photo mode pic. But then how do I locate the area from glyphs and get there?
you'd (unlock glyphs on other save and) portal there from your other save
System with 4 mecha fauna
Bikikum//M4f//dissonant//Red system//140 LY from RDV 3// planet name: Aureol W44
Glyphs:

Oh, so basically I'd have to have the main story mostly beaten then? IIRC that's when you find glyphs and portals
portals exist in game from the very start - but you'll have to learn the glyph set to actually be able to use them to go anywhere; and yes, in non-expedition, completing the main storyline is the easiest way to learn the full set
Heck, sorry for posting here instead of main X_X but thank you! When I'm done mucking around in my new lake box house, I hope to be able to join the expedition troops
nah, nothing to be sorry about; also, lots of time left to hop in expedition13
can we not scan titan worms
they're not a part of the planet's fauna discovery list, and the best we can do is aim at them with visor, at the right spot, and we can get some cool info off them
ok another stupid question, how do you steal whispering eggs
mine them, then watch for the larval core dropping, catch it
whispering eggs are always found near abandoned buildings, and scattered around the surface in exp13 planets iirc
and btw there are no stupid questions
Would be a good pet, eats sentinel walkers.
that's just one of the possible values there
at least we dont have to photograph airless planets again
They're terrifying in VR. Whole world shakes. I remember scrambling to look around at where it was, then failing to scan it.
I just went in the space anomalyโฆ
Second expedition down
are ancient ruins bigged, or is it the ones you need to dig for the keys we have to do
let's try and keep these images off here
Alr
best if we stick to the topic ๐
who's idea was it to make a pillar 1247 u's high and not do the last 150 u
i just spent 10 minutes flying up this thing
I don't have any VR gizmos but I can only imagine what a TRIP this must be
Maybe they ran out of material and decided to take a nap...
The reward ships kinda plain I guess the main gimmick is it comes apart
it can hover in planet atmos, like starborn runner and sentinel ships
its wings give it that ability
Oh that's cool I don't really like interceptors so that works for me
what is the bread and water mission? i dont get it
any hauler you build with the wings would have it too
some jackass put a derelict freighter in the atmosphere on a planet and now radiations killing me instead of the damn cold
"By Bread Alone" you mean?
disable mp ๐
idk where you have to the food thing
that wont help with the radiation on the freighter though
where even is a 1400 u mountain
how to solve it?
save+reload
what does the mission hint lower right of the screen say you need to do? remember that you can force hints by pressing H or dpad left multiple times
i dont even understand what the game want me to do
post a screenshot of the mission hint, can you do that?
make yeast
nutrient process faecium
what?
faecium aka poop that drops from animals that you fed creature pellets to
or refined from mordite, that drops when you kill fauna
i got some as reward fro ma mission
Faecium right?
Real
yep
so what now?
make some yeast - refer to the hint again
i dont know how
remember that you can force cycle hints by pressing H or dpad left multiple times
where is the 4. meet?
And done
Iโm about to start the new expedition. How do I select the starborn runner to take with me on the expedition?
I know I pick up at the anomaly but how do I select it?
Make it your active ship, then you can get it when you have enough nanites and reach the anomaly
of course, this only works if you started the expedition from the anomaly, not a new save
Thank you for letting me know. The squid is usually my active ship so will be sure to switch before starting
I always go to the anomaly on my current save and then when it letโs me choose, I pick a new save file for the expedition
Is that what you mean?
hey a freighter i dont have to fight for. lol
no, they meant to differentiate between the two different ways we can start an expedition run - 1) from an existing save, in the anomaly, at the expedition terminus, and 2) from the main menu, Play Game, New Game, Expedition Mode. Only option 1 gives you the ability to copy equipped ship+MT from primary into an expedition run. once you get to the anomaly in expedition, you'll just interact with the expedition terminus again, and you'll see your loot, and the two buttons to copy ship and MT, and for those copies you'll need nanites in expedition
So that's how that works! I thought I was going to have to do it through the main menu
The nap bug got me and I still have a few things to do before I can start the expedition. Wandered off to craft some things and somehow it turned into an hour of me sitting on my lake shore and messing with my refiner or something
So, while I did get to the anomaly, I didn't finish its introduction. Oops
so who do we turn the derelict freighter stuff into, or is it just useless
no npcs to turn them to
Thank you for the clear instructions
i cant find the robot animals
ok
Will old expeditions come back for another redux eventually? I mean like expeditions 1-6 for example
check this post <#nms-expedition message>
they've rerun exp3 and exp2 a third time, in 2023 and 2024 respectively, with a mixed set of rewards from older expeditions, so i'd say that there's a chance
yeah but i cant find this location
Darn, I was out of nms during that time. Oh well, good to know thank you
The post notes 140 light years from rendezvous 3. Find rdv3 and start looking at the closest red stars

Are there community milestones in this one?
Are all space stations abbaonded this expi?
yup
Damn this is really hard im just trying to get a grip and im not XD
I'm taking a break but I fully expect to be in for a rude awakening when I can start
review milestones ahead - for example, in the starter system there's a planet with ancient bones; lots of creatures and plants to scan; additionally, the ancient bones milestone will reward pre built optical drill multitool tech, which will boost resources mined yield considerably
god freaking dangit, i hate when your trying to get to a rendevous point and a storm starts so you cant see where you need to freaking land
and then it puts you 2k units away
FACTS
๐ญ
it they are gonna do that at least give me night vision goggles, jesus
During the amidst the stars mission, i did not know that once the portal is opened, it won't have a waypoint. I went looking for radiant shards for nanites and then left the system, forgetting about the portal. no waypoint and the mission won't reset. Welp. Any solution?
Like now there's just a portal somewhere, many systems away on some random planet at some random coordinate that i do not remember. It is impossible to find again.
hmm - a solution would be to get the glyphs of that planet, portal to it from a different save, note down latitude+longitude coordinates of portal seen on visor, and then reload into expedition save, and fly to latitude+longitude. but if you don't even know which planet.. uhm.. not possible to figure out which one it is? you don't remember how it looks like? did you visit the station of the system?
yeah im only doing this expedition on one character this time
I have absolutely no idea where that planet or that system is. I warped like 20 times since then at it was big warps.
Maybe i should just restart the expedition. Only been doing it for 1 day anyway.
if you visited all the stations in those systems, then it'd be quite the challenge to try and find the one, and that's potentially a waste of time. i'd suggest raising a bug report on this though - portal marker should be persistent. that said, if you started from new save, yeah, i'd restart as well if i was caught in that bug
!hg

What should i pack?
Any quick tips on the making the food step?
I realized that immediately after i said that
๐
Is redoing this expedition worth it if I've already done it?
not unless you want to copy iron vulture multiple times for ship building with its parts in your main save
Not even for quicksilver?
it's okay ๐ no worries
well there's some quicksilver, but it's not omega levels
Ok.
I probably won't bother with redoing this one then since I already have the rewards.
What should I bring for Adrift Expedition?
check the hint lower right of the screen - remember that you can force cycle hints by pressing H or dpad left multiple times
idk why but i cant find a sunken freighter
Ok
I gotcha. Wasnโt sure if it had to be bread so I had to find wheat or what all would trigger completion
Look for bases from orbit or from anomaly teleporter; otherwise, fly along coastlines low speed and if possible in 3rd person mode.
if you complete phase 4 milestone 1, simply build nautilon chamber in a gek/korvax/vykeen system, on a planet with water, install high powered sonar tech on it, and hop in it - scan for crashed freighters
are the freigters easy to find/do they stick out of the water?
sometimes, depends on depth
im trying
which part of that are you on?
finding the freighter
no, i mean, have you built nautilon geobay aka chamber?
ye
do you have nautilon exocraft summoned atm
ye#
does it have high powered sonar tech installed atm
ye
enter nautilon, press X or dpad down to open quick menu, sonar, scan for crashed freighters - observe the screen for a few seconds - did it add a marker to a sunken freighter?
i tried but it says "no building found" and yes i pressed on freighter
im stuck in the ground rn
does the system you're in have a race icon here?
reload restore point i guess, if terrain manipulator can't delete that terrain
I dunno wy I find that so funny lol. I just came in here and saw that lol
i can look bc my damn ship is twerking in the ground
LMFAO
wdym, just press pause
yeah but i have to get free
options, reload autosave
Can you pick out where the cursor is?
Dominant lifeform gek
In my screenshot
ye
think i already asked, nt sure, the ancient ruins we have to find, the ones where you have to dig for keys right?
while doing this expedition, am I ever going to run across somwhere to sell some tech for nanites so I can get my multitool and ship?
Move locations to another area of the planet, use on foot quick menu to resummon nautilon to you
Nope
Either zoology or refine f or nanites
what do you refine for nanites?

Then i haven't done this one ~ i started on 14
To the person who made the 1315 unit tall base, why did you stop there? Why?
Ran out of mats maybe ๐
they probs felt sanity slipping out rapidly
Nah most likely render height limit I'd say
My sanity was slipping while climbing it, then it disappeared entirely when I found out it wasn't tall enough
And it's not even 1315 tall, it's only at 1247 ;-;
what is "loot a derelict freighter"
Find a derelect freighter space, land on it, and explore and loot it

Np
disable multiplayer, goto space, use emergency signal scanner you got from the previous milestone, pulse drive towards empty space
why disable multiplayer?
Because multiplayer on is a leading cause of errors
and close quarters mt blasts will kill you
signal booster, option 1 - leads to ruin - but actually a plaque; pick the seek help with language option

Thank you DethKlok_69 for making a 1400 unit tall structure, your a legend who ever you are!
is there anything recommended to bring for this?
yeah, idk if i want to do this one on 2 characters
check <#nms-expedition message>
Completed. Thank you all for the tips!
How do I copy ship over
get to the anomaly, expedition terminus
Hey, I just made it here to lol
when i get the vulture, does it come in parts or in one thing?
a ship, fully built
a damn
That was fast, this one must be pretty fast eh?
@remote thunder low orbit base. Do I just staircase up, platform, then delete staircase?
Last one people were saying did. So id assume so.
Omega felt like it had a lot of running around doing random stuff
exp13 redux yes
it's average i'd say
Hmm
Love ur pfp
Thanks!
welp, that expedition is done, thought it would take longer
how long did it take you, if you don't mind me asking?
Sh4dow was asking if exp13 was one of the quickest ones, i haven't completed redux yet
5-6 hours, i stopped and had dinner inbetween
yeah, that's about the average, 3-6h
i started at 1245 my time, so about 5,5 hours
So you can probably space it out as you go and not run up against hard time barriers
How
Iโm still on exp-2
Or phase 2
Mb
i looked at milestones and did as many as i could on each planet i needed to land on
Adrift was a cool exp but boring rewards
A paint colour a ghost frigate that functions like the Normandy and hover wings
I think 2 paint colours actually
That matches what I've heard... I don't want to not do it/wait another two weeks for my first expedition but
I'd do it , the colour black is locked behind the exp
Just no armor sets like other expa
Exps
Is there any reason to keep the expedition save once completed?
Already claimed the rewards on my main save
And you gotta manually warp 50 times because the quicksilver vendor is dead
spent all the quicksilver you earned on it?
Not unless you like the world stage
I thought quicksilver came with me to my save?,
oh wait a min - to clarify, did you start from new save or existing save
Have a current game already going
there's some milestones that do reward quicksilver in exp13
Took a break, did the expedition
ah started from the anomaly then
Nope
Just did a fresh expedition. Didnโt know I could start from the anomaly haha
has it converted to normal mode then?
No like I have 2 entirely separate saves
On adrift. One is my normal. I finished adrift and made sure to claim my new ship on my main save
when you complete and claim all milestones in expedition started from new save, it force converts to a normal mode save
Oh i see
So the quicksilver is separate. I wasnโt paying attention
right go spend that quicksilver - non-consumable quicksilver purchases are unlocked account wide as well
so you'll be able to claim them for free from the qs shop in your main save too
Oh sweet. Glad I asked before deleting haha
oh you get nanites for adopting companions
The iron vulture has some of the best guns I've seen on a ship tho

Been looking for atleast an hour ๐
check this post <#nms-expedition message>
now begins the daunting task of upgrading the vultures slots and gear
Would any of you lovely peoples know of a way to get the launch auto charger in the current expedition? I'd LOVE to have one
hmm - memory fragments from graves maybe?
I got lucky and it droped for me from memory modules
there you go
Ooo, I hadn't thought of that ๐
do believe i've gotten one from those recently, and Asta confirmed it
thats one of the few i prepackage if i dont copy my ship over
So, Adrift was the first expedition I did after I started playing the game. As I've already finished it when it first ran, is there any additional benefit to running the redux of it?
Fun ig
Generally Easier access to some upgrades / expansion modules than main game; quicksilver tokens; nanites and cash.
Just more quicksilver and nanites for your main save
I'm reading FAQs about starting the expedition from an existing save - I wasn't aware it was a thing you could do.
starting from the anomaly doesn't do anything to your original save, right? Though I know some things are moved over instead of copied
It creates a separate sub save
Good to know- I'll confirm what gets moved and how when I'm done messing with the appearance modifier (again)
It creates a linked separate save that you can move between at any given point; and at the end, you can also transfer stuff back from it.
Multitools and ships are copied from one to the other for the price of nanites, but not moved over. Theyโre cloned.
That sounds about right- mostly I'm wondering about how you bring your necessities over (and how much to leave behind)
Thank you for this ๐ i also got my 1st giant structure type pet.
Anyone found that stupid mountainโฆ I died with one and went only about 700u.
I fell midway on the peak not even hitting the bottom.
Go to a station and teleport to 1 of the many bases
Can I do this with non multiplayer/discovery mode?
Is there a pin with preferred things to bring along on this expedition?
Maybe not.
Disregard. I am an idiot.
I just built a staircase off the highest peak in found ๐คฃ
I didnโt scroll down the pins.
Devious
That's actually how most those bases are as well
Was starting an expedition from the Anomaly always an option?
I might be misremembering but I was under the impression you had to start a new save to start an expedition (and that's what I've done for every expedition I've done).
I went for a copper deposit and it was just dirt. :/
since expedition 12 original release
yeah, up until exp 11 ๐
Is this the expedition that gives the bug hat?
Can you bring an established character into an expedition?
No, But you can bring some stuff from one save to another In the anomaly
Okay so go to the anomaly and talk to the guy?
To the left of him there is a terminal that you can interact with and deposit items, but you can only put in stuff and out at the start and end of an expedition
Great thank you
No problem
nope, rewards iron vulture ship, ship of the damned frigate, ship building textures: see pinned post <#nms-expedition message>
I'm trying to decide if I'm ready to tackle the expedition or if I'm tired
I'm assuming you can't get a freighter in Adrift
Idk why but when i see the reward ship i remember banshee from starcraft 2
You are offered one upon completion of salvaging a derelict.
Thanks for that info
was expedition 12 rerun a few weeks ago???
If that was Omega then the rerun ended less than 24 hours ago
I accidentally fell on stairs to heaven and exhausted my jetpack. Never thought Iโd get a โrecklessโ title for it lol
anything I should swap out?
WOuldn't the resources to make portable refiners be more useful than having the portable refiners as items?
And a personal Refiner Mk2 is a good thing that can replace them altogether, IMO
I gotta split some of that out... i dunno why it grabbed the whole stack of tech lol... sheesh I dont want to take that much...
Almost every time I bring items into the expedition I forgot or don't use them. LOL
LOL
Same.
I just run em without bringing stuff now.
Are the tool upgrades an item I can not use and bring back like the slot expansion items? Or should I bring in a tool I want upgraded that I can copy back? Thinking id like to upgrade the tool I got from the last expedition.
I think thats what im going with... i mean its all stuff that just makes the expedition easier... I dont HAVE to bring it...
Been thinking that as well would make things simpler for me
I will copy over my ship and tool...
Copy ship and tool, and follow suggested list in pins, it covers it pretty tidily without making you over-pack - the Mk2 refiner is a reward in the first phase, no need to bring one over.
These antelope looking things on the first planet trying to kill me, and I'm like "ante-nope."
I'm also singing Ain't No Mountain High Enough. Where am I supposed to find one that's 1400u high?
People have been building structures to help. or... coming close. might be short ~150 u on average
I don't think I'm going to get to Adrift tonight, my brain is melting and I'm busy doing ridiculous runs all over this planet
Got the elevation from the base of someone ๐ great tip
So I got the Omega expedition going RN after modifying the time file, but since I'm in Offline mode I don't think I can do the optional tasks because they require community progress which it can't see
Do you remember which world/system?
Does anyone know how I'd complete those tasks?? Initially when I was doing this while the expedition was active I got the first two optionals cause I just had to scan a few items
Can you get it now itโs over?
I mean I can activate the mission but I can't progress
Maybe since itโs over
I'm assuming it's a quirk of me artificially extending the deadline (I work full time so I didn't have time originally)
Since thatโs the optional community im pretty sure itโs blocked now. I never did it even when I had time
I just wanted the ship
Rip to that quicksilver unless I can just mod the file again
Feel bad doing it but the optional tasks are pretty basic
fyi, if you finish and then go back to expedition planets after you ended it, they are reg planets now
how are they different?
you wont get teh titan worms, the dust, the vile stuff
ah
i went back to starter planet and it had sentinels and no titan worms
I'm on a derelict, but 1 computer won't let me finish. Got everything else explored.
If someone builds a base on the highest mountain they find, and don't name the base Snoop Dogg, it's a seriously missed opportunity.
Lololol
Found one though, with a hell of a lot of stairs, and no freaking guardrails.
I ported to this one and I got it instantly
Who needs guardrails if you arenโt irl seize the moment
I don't see that one. Must be in another system.
I was able to port from it from the Rendevou 1 spot
Has this been glitchy for anyone else?
Feels like it
Has anyone had an issue where you can't turn the mind ark in at the Anomaly for the Adrift Expedition just get an error message. and only option is to leave and you dont get the portal location.
is rendevous 2 bugged? there is nothing but moutains and when i land and scan its 1440 away - i keep going in circles
Is there a way to report in game?
Bug report?
..and now firestorms.. god this game sucks sometimes
No joke, I love firestorms
I reported the issue on the website but it never helps....the last expedition I got the Starborn runner Flew it around a few times and it turned into a living ship -_-
so where is this rendevous? does anyone have co-ordinates?
Omg ๐ฑ
If you click the objective it takes you there as a mission marker when you galaxy jump. It tends to be two-five jumps.
