nms-expedition

[merry dagger]

Blue stars (in my experience) always have at least 1 anomalous planet with a chance for it being synthetic

[soft pumice]

yeah my same is bugged - this is not right

i am at the second rendevous but the game has put the pin in the wrong place

[versed oriole]

Im only on 3 stage haha

Unfortunately i dont see tag?

[merry dagger]

Are you in the 3rd area system?

[versed oriole]

Just just keep searching blue stars

[gilded orchid]

What happens when you get to the marked rendezvous ?

[versed oriole]

So*

[versed oriole]

Lemme double check.

Im way off headed toward stage 4 of the expedition i believe

[merry dagger]

Darn

Yea just check blue stars

[versed oriole]

@sean murray give us multi-point map interface plllllllllllz atleast to knock out lile the hundrends of tiny dots ive explored. Haha

[merry dagger]

Unless someone else has better advice, sorry

[soft pumice]

so what do I do here? i am pretty much bugged out on the expedition

[merry dagger]

I wish I could help, sorry lori

[versed oriole]

Thanks anyways 👍

[white perch]

I’m trying to do the second one too and I’m getting angry 😂

[merry dagger]

Np

[gilded orchid]

What does it say when you arrive at the marked rendezvous?

[soft pumice]

ikr - ive been an hour at this crap so far

[true oak]

its a little outpost in the middle of the mountains

[versed oriole]

Use your visior should tell you where to go on the planet friend

[gilded orchid]

It is behind a mountain iirc

I dug through a mountain to make a straight path

[sharp horizon]

Complete in 5 hours 18min, whoo hoo!

[white perch]

😮

What special juice are you drinking?

[sharp horizon]

Most expos I run I complete on the day I start them lol

[versed oriole]

@merry dagger by anomalous planet does that mean capped/pillarded/hexagonal types?

[white perch]

I can see in a day but 5 hours

[snow ruin]

Maybe Adderall? (/s)

[white perch]

Did you bring forward items

[merry dagger]

Yea. But if anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, synthetic creature planets also can be a possibility

[brittle orbit]

Can I get some of that special juice? you know for science?

[sharp horizon]

Water, it's the best for you yk

[versed oriole]

Thank you

Ive only saw them on wine dark planet tbh

[merry dagger]

Hexagonal can also have them with the robo dogs

If I remember right

[soft pumice]

yeah this is messed i am putting on my visor and the distance keeps changing when i am not even moving

[versed oriole]

Syntheics both found

Coords if anyone 2ants it

[ripe summit]

Thank you ^^

[versed oriole]

Wants*

[ripe summit]

Wait do I even have the glyphs unlocked?

[versed oriole]

If that helps

Its near by ish after you are forced through the portal

[pliant orbit]

Any suggestions on how to complete the one called All That You Survey in phase 2? It’s all I have left to complete and I haven’t been able to get high enough. lol

[versed oriole]

Im saw people build large staircases lmao

I see them everywhere LOL

[pliant orbit]

Seriously? I haven’t seen any of them 😂

[versed oriole]

LOL ive saw like 7 of them by now 😅 but yeah

I used someones staircase and got it

[pliant orbit]

I gotta find these things then lol

[versed oriole]

I think 2nd tendezous point you should see loads of them

Even found a floating house

Or just create terrain

Find a big mountain and build it up haha

[tender escarp]

Just go to a teleport, look at others bases. there's loads to choose from.

[white perch]

Rendevous 3 is so far :3

[pliant orbit]

Omg I found a base at the terminal on the Anomaly named “Its over 1400” I transferred to it and completed that node immediately.

Whoever put that is freaking awesome.

[white perch]

I saw a couple of those

They knew our pain

[versed oriole]

Lol right

[sinful dust]

Im not really feeling this expedition tbh

I dont like it

[vital lynx]

hi guys how are we getting to the anomaly or whatever is replacing it

[sand marlin]

after you warp for the first time you can summon the anomoly

[vital lynx]

youre so right sorry i thought i had tried that

[grave arrow]

Where the heck do you get dueterium

[finite scaffold]

I feel very similar, wasn't happy you have no access to majority of anomoly or any real space stations

[finite scaffold]

Refine di-hydrogen and silicate powder

[grave arrow]

Ty ty

[sinful dust]

I think all in doing for this one is the first phase and then not do the rest, something about this one is just not enjoyable or fun

[finite scaffold]

I redid it simply because I didn't realize the first time that you can finish the exped with iron vulture and then copy and scrap it infinite times so you can get parts to make a new iron vulture but customize the colors 😁

[wintry void]

Expeditions tend to be different mechanics, or different ways of playing. This is all this is

[sinful dust]

I want the frigate but this whole thing just sucks

[sinful dust]

Yea but i have never had a problem with the other ones

[finite scaffold]

I like redoing most expeds because you can do double QS quests, unfortunately that wasn't an option with Adrift

[sinful dust]

i just want the stealth paint

[finite scaffold]

Haha

Had to finish this exped today so I can get back on my reading schedule for Wind and Truth, the book is getting good now 🤓

[sinful dust]

i actually bought an s class reactor core a month ago so that im prepared to make the ship i really want to make

[exotic fog]

Sorry for dumb questions

With the new expi we had a limited amount of things we can keep. Do i ever get back my things during the expi or only when i finish it?

[finite scaffold]

Not dumb, it was confusing to me for a while to because I was used to the old way of not being able to use existing saves when I came back last year

[exotic fog]

And stuff like my exo suit slot unlocks and multi unlock slots

[finite scaffold]

You can bring items in with the terminal, but you dont have access to the items until you get to the anomoly after first warp. After you finish the exped you have the same amount of slots to bring stuff back and the rest will be sold for units/nanites

For the exo/mt/ship inventory slots if you choose not to use them when they are given out, you will get them as an item in your inventory and can choose that as an item to bring back after exped

[worn heron]

grrrrr, I wish I'd thought to bring some atlandeum along... 😛

[exotic fog]

SAMMMMME trying to figure out how im getting that

[real siren]

Love me a fresh expedition at 13 FPS

Help Edit; This is a joke and meme for me as i always seem to have such low fps on starter expedition planets lol

[exotic fog]

What plant thing is that you can turn into nanites?

[real siren]

Theres several, runaway mould from the weird deposits i think

[finite scaffold]

Radiant shards on dissonent planets

[soft pilot]

hi, are all the stations abandoned in this exp?

[finite scaffold]

Yes

[soft pilot]

ok thanx

[obtuse jungle]

Finally conquered this expedition. Awesome run!

[exotic fog]

If there is no way to trade how do you use the ancient bones?

[obtuse jungle]

There are trade posts, also trade terminals in space stations even though they're abandoned, can still trade.

[exotic fog]

Did not know thought we on hardcore XD

Do all the abandoned station still have a trade network or only some

[worn heron]

all of them, they're up to the right if you're facing the back of the station.

[exotic fog]

So not sure how to hide spoilers:

What heppend when i went through the portal after using the mind ark and floating around in space with no ship was that intended?

[finite scaffold]

That's normal

[real siren]

Where is deuterium?

[wraith junco]

U need to craft it from dihydro+silicate powder

[real siren]

I just started the expedition, and i have no acess to a med or large refiner

I cant repair my launch thrusters lol

[sullen fulcrum]

you get the mk2 backpack refiner that can do it

[wraith junco]

Read tasks in expedition tab

[sullen fulcrum]

just keep doing what you can for now

[real siren]

I 100% built and immediately forgot the refiner

[cunning sandal]

I just can't right now. My starting ship is a hunk of junk

I just started. I was hoping I would get a better ship.

[soft pilot]

hm, duno what I'm missing here, players have built very tall structures, seemingly to help others with the ''climb 1400 U mountain... Except the 2 structures that took me forever to climb both stop short of the 1400 U

one stopped at 1386 and this one i just reached the top of stops at 1364

[sullen fulcrum]

You gotta jetpack the rest of the way, it counts

[soft pilot]

i cant, i tried that, cant jecpack that much

on this one best i can do 1373 then i run out

[sullen fulcrum]

Try installing some of the mobility modules you get from other milestones and move them around to get adjacency bonuses and supercharge slots

[soft pilot]

means climbing this again hehe

[sullen fulcrum]

either that or find an actual mountain that high

[soft pilot]

hehe i just got a message from the game telling me to go to a station to get jetpack mods 🙂

[wraith junco]

There are planets with mountains tall enough along the exp route. Like in system after u exit a portal for example.

[soft pilot]

is the one with the star where i got here through portal?

[dire mirage]

so uh. The beginning planet. To even get off it, you need a bunch of Copper. There's like no deposits on the planet, and the ones that are there are already empty. Any ideas

[blazing fossil]

Turn off multiplayer, save and reload

[dire mirage]

I'll try that, thanks

[acoustic jacinth]

I got a question. About Nanites. I brought 50 Suspicious Packages (Arms) and i wanna sell all the upgrades they have for nanites. Is it possible or no?

[slate wadi]

Where can I find whispering eggs?

[candid fossil]

I think no because the space stations are all abandoned. I'm happy I took some mould to refine

[acoustic jacinth]

Fuck. This is harder than I thought.

[candid fossil]

Unless there's somewhere else to sell them? Idk

[acoustic jacinth]

What also sucks is that i cannot make Portable Refiners, i brought only 1 with me.

[candid fossil]

U get the backpack refiner plans from a milestone

[iron tendon]

I thought I'd transferred everything from my expedition base's storage container to my primary save yesterday prior to end of exped and today I found my storage container is full with stuff I put in there at one stage. Either I forgot what I did or the game is being generous

Or is the storage container shared across different bases... I'm confused

[jagged sedge]

Any certain numbered storage box will have the same stuff in it, no matter where you install the box

[iron tendon]

Ah, oh thanks...yeah, I suspected that

[jagged sedge]

They can also be installed in a freighter

[iron tendon]

So it's kind of a waste to build the same numbered container in different places

[jagged sedge]

I like to have box # zero in my base and my freighter, for easy transfer of stuff

So it can be helpful

[slate wadi]

Where do I find whispering eggs

This thing is stopping me from finishing phase 2

[quasi echo]

Oh boy I love getting my inventory wiped because of bugs

Load into derelict freighter -> turns out freighter is inside planet's atmosphere -> get instagibbed by intense radiation -> die and come back to get inventory -> instagibbed again

[tired badger]

There’s a planet in the first system you spawn in. Look for an Infested planet. Land, activate the mission and start scanning.

Or any infested planet

[quasi venture]

Are all the expeditions back?

[full pewter]

Can you get a second ship of the damned frigate on my main save by redoing this expedition?

[civic kelp]

guys, any tips on starting the expedition apart from the pinned material list?

[civic kelp]

no

just select ones, one by one

adrift just started yesterday and runs for two weeks

[blazing fossil]

no

[full pewter]

Good now I can skip it

[civic kelp]

how much mould/ nanites should I take?

[remote thunder]

copying ship alone can go up to 2.8K - i'd say around 6k or so will be enough for gear copies

[civic kelp]

6k nanites?

[remote thunder]

yep

[remote thunder]

literally, there will be whispering egg clusters around lots of POI in expedition 13

just fly around quick scanning with your ship to get unknown building markers, look for actual buildings, not just any POI (drop pods won't have any, for example; but buildings like minor settlement or abandoned building will always)

could also use signal booster, but that will use surge battery, which you're better off saving for/until you complete nameless history milestone from phase 4

[slate wadi]

I managed to find it, thanks

[random zenith]

was it so we can't trade in this expedition?

at least for nanites

[remote thunder]

correct

[random zenith]

many thanks

[wraith junco]

There is dissonant planet and worm infested planet in starter system. Easy nanites sources.

[civic kelp]

just started and wow

did not expect that, those worms and stuff

omega was so friendly ;D

[remote thunder]

shai-hulud 🙇‍♂️

[wraith junco]

For friends bob

Bob is chill

Just flys around.

[remote thunder]

do not lose yours

[civic kelp]

I think there might be more combat involved here than I anticipated

[remote thunder]

mostly vs baby worms

[civic kelp]

I may need to copy my main multitool this time

[wraith junco]

Nah u will be fine

More anoying whas normal fauna

[remote thunder]

spend some time on your feet

[civic kelp]

yeah, there's a lot of aggresive animals here

[remote thunder]

can craft creature pellets and throw them on the ground; predators cease to be an issue

[civic kelp]

there are those monsters near big eggs, scary stuff

[civic kelp]

really? what happens? and why shouldn't I kill them?

[random zenith]

oh fuck i forgot to copy gear with me

lol

[remote thunder]

can kill them - i just prefer not to

[wraith junco]

Nah they just mostly scream and spit at u.

[remote thunder]

you mean that you got to make another trip to the anomaly? 😄

[random zenith]

can i restart you mean?

erm do you mean*

[remote thunder]

basically, the way you chose the gear you'll be given the ability to copy over into expedition once you're in expedition and get to the anomaly again is by simply having it equipped when you start expedition.

that said

you could, once you're in expedition, save+pause/options/return to primary, change to different gear (different ship and/or MT), then save, resume expedition, and game will update expedition terminus on expedition side, changing what gear can be copied

[random zenith]

aha brilliant

got fortunately the right mt and ship as main already, but that's great to know

[remote thunder]

this can be done in reverse ofc, but you already knew that

[jagged sedge]

New plan - I'm collecting radon to fabricate a stack of uranium for refueling - it'll still be a manual refuel, but it still beats making those stupid launch fuel things

[wraith junco]

On starter planet there are metal fingers that give uranium and gold

Both can be used as fuel

[jagged sedge]

Indeed - I've been mostly getting gold by grinding the pearls - sentinels don't mind if we collect those, ya know

[remote thunder]

also, wasnt there an irradiated biome planet in the starter system?

maybe misremembering, might have been rdv1 system

[faint pelican]

So every space station is abandoned for this exp?

So no portaling back and forth and no normal buy/sell?

[remote thunder]

there's a teleporter in abandoned stations (opposite side of the trade terminal side of the station), but no normal stations or npcs (so no upgrade module shops, no regular trade terminal, no outlaw stations)

[jagged sedge]

My current regret is the lack of the starship deconstructinator

[snow ruin]

I quite like the automatic launch thruster refuelling thing

[sand marlin]

I didn't realize that copying my ship/multitool would cost nanites. I regret not transferring more nanite producers

also the pin was totally right about exosuit upgrade maps, which I ignored

[remote thunder]

as long as you don't hoard stuff you don't need for long, milestone reward inventory upgrades should be quite enough

[sand marlin]

I guess I could make a base and some storage containers for this junk

[snow ruin]

There's also the exosuit upgrade thingys you can get from some emissaries/envoys on space stations in normal modes

[remote thunder]

sus packets goods can also drop exosuit upgrade charts

[sand marlin]

I also had to look up how to make deuterium on the wiki. The game didn't tell me I could refine it. (dihydrogen and silicon btw) Leaving the original planet would have been quite awkward if I couldn't repair the ship.

[shut plaza]

So, I was checking my milestones in my account (not just this expedition) and went to the expedition part. It stays I've completed like 6 expeditions. I definitely haven't completed more than 2

Maybe I participated in a few more for a tiny amount of time, but another says "partially completed"

[muted granite]

Tritium works in place of silica too

[dense wave]

Having an odd thing happen currently, not sure if this is a bug or if this is just me but I'm only seeing my base and not others during the exped. I do have multi-player is anyone else having this issue?

[quaint urchin]

Check the Discovery Tab and see of Online Discovery Services is connected (green).

[dense wave]

It's green

[ruby current]

if i did adrift last time it was on , i will get new rewards now?

[dense wave]

Not suure

I wouldn't think so, but that's coming from someone who hasn't done it

[ruby current]

thanks i will check later

[dense wave]

No problem

[wraith junco]

Rewards are listed in pins

[indigo falcon]

ifyou unlocked a reward the first time through, it's already unlocked, you can't claim it again on the same save

[fringe sierra]

However all the quicksilver inventory slots and other non exp reward specific things can be accessed and claimed

[ashen shore]

Finished whole expedition, finding 2 robot life forms and using the signal booster to find the tower was annoying. Do not choose search structures and instead pick terminal. Also, robot life forms will not be on blue planets even though guide instructions say it will be

Hello Games should really learn on how to give instructions properly. I liked the last expedition better. Use the Minotaur exocraft robot to kill the giant worms

[remote thunder]

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[remote thunder]

synth lifeforms can only spawn in uncharted systems (no race icon on galaxy map, no space station) planets (with the exception of planets with rusted metal on resource list), be it/regardless of red, green or a blue star system

but yeah, hint is a little misleading because not all blue star systems are uncharted

[ashen shore]

In the guide in the game says check blue planets but after reading on google it may not be blue planet, I found it

[remote thunder]

95% of red, 40% of green and blue are uncharted though

yeah, not solely blue stars, yep, agree that that hint needs a little touch up

[ashen shore]

I see, things were a lot easier having my atlas staff and starborn runner for the expedition

[remote thunder]

🫂

you'll become more and more of a pro at the game as you keep accumulating these little experiences 🙂

[ashen shore]

I saw a few people on Reddit be annoyed with their hint

[remote thunder]

theyll get it soon enough 🙂 someone will definitely let them know

[ashen shore]

I finished the expedition in one night so did pretty good

[remote thunder]

congrats! 🥳

[ashen shore]

An entire night and it is morning now lol

I’m hoping the expeditions will go in order. Want to do expedition 15 for the aquatic expedition and 16 for the boundary herald ship. Looks like it is going in order for now’. 12 was last expedition and 13 this time

[remote thunder]

yeah, now going in order, see:

[quaint urchin]

I spent most of the day yesterday searching for an A-Class Sentinel ship so I could do Fathoms Below and upgrade it to an S-Class. Guess what? After claiming the Milestone it's still an A-Class. I reported it again (twice last time in June and again today). Ugh!

I guess don't waste your time searching for an A-Class Starship to upgrade...

[finite scaffold]

Is there even a way to upgrade the class of a ship in this exped? I never noticed one and finding the nanites to upgrade a ship to S class is a hefty amount for an exped with limited ways to get nanites

[finite scaffold]

I found a sentinel B class ship on the starting planet, didn't really look after that but I did notice someone had put a communication box at an A class normal ship from distress beacon (on planet not far from my starting area). Not exactly sure why somoene would want to upgrade a ship though?

[floral orbit]

My starting spawn was dropping off a cliff, and then I landed, jetpack broke and a creature attacked me so I died. Then respawned falling off the cliff, but my jetpack died in the first fall.... so just a constant stream of respawn fall to death.... I had to exit the expedition and restart.

[snow ruin]

From what I've been told, no. The starship outfitting terminal doesn't exist on the abandoned stations from what I've been told

[finite scaffold]

Yea, I remembered how annoying this exped was the first time I did it so I just copied my ship and MT - which I don't normally do - because I didn't want to struggle with getting to blue planets for one of the milestones

[ashen shore]

I found 4 ships that I wanted to scrap after copying my starborn runner. I get it is supposed to be a “lonely and mysterious” expedition but this one just felt empty and more inconvenient than it had to be

[dense wave]

It is so weird seeing the anamoly so barren

[finite scaffold]

Was a bummer the first time I did it because I had been collecting ships to scrap from beacons that I happened to pass by, this time I just ignored most of that stuff 😆

[ashen shore]

I’m hoping the aquatic expedition will be fun as I want to get better at underwater building

[finite scaffold]

I do like that some of these later expeds compared to earlier ones have a little higher risk and stakes, like the cursed anomolous creatures

Made it much more fun for me

[ashen shore]

I literally got 3 ships from that signal booster mission to find the tower. It brought me to 3 different ships that I fixed. 2 c class and 1 A class

[ashen shore]

Since expeditions are permadeath, didn’t want to risk it so used my Minotaur exocraft to kill the giant worms

[finite scaffold]

First time I did this exped I died really randomly, almost instantly from some really high damage. Can the sand worms hit you? Cause I swear I wasn't even low when I suddenly died

[snow ruin]

Anyone know what the solar mirror thingy talked about bringing along in #nms-expedition message is for?

[ashen shore]

I saved the giant worms for my final objective in the whole expedition so would’ve been annoyed if I died then

[wraith junco]

For nautilion scanner to locate sunken freighter

It can be both

I dont remember mind ark recipe

[finite scaffold]

Me neither, but I forgot I crafted for the sonar too

[ashen shore]

Activated copper and then other two things, I think wiring loom

[finite scaffold]

Wasnt loom, I think it was like microproccessors?

[ashen shore]

Oh ok, could be. I usually save up on things like microprocessors and wiring looms

[sand marlin]

When finishing the expedition do I keep the ships?

[finite scaffold]

Yea, looms are one of my go-tos for expeds now when starting from a save, eventhough most of them aren't as useful once you hit anomoly

[ashen shore]

I also suggest to bring cadmium, idium, and emeril for an expedition. Makes it smoother

[sand marlin]

for making a nautilon, err scanner sorry

[finite scaffold]

I always thought repair kits would be amazing for expeds, but the use of them is usually in the first 10 minutes of the exped unless you're repairing damage ships for salvage

[sand marlin]

a few repairs are fine, but yea you can't get them right away so they aren't super useful

[snow ruin]

If you started from the Anomaly on an existing save then you'll have to copy them over for nanites if you want to keep them.
If you started a new save for the expedition they'll stay on that save when it turns into a normal save

[ashen shore]

I brought 10 with me and realized the repair kits can’t attained till when they won’t be that useful anymore

[finite scaffold]

I forgot to bring something to make nanites out of on this redux, luckily there was a bunch of dissonent planets that I just farmed radiant shards for nanites fairly easily

[sand marlin]

I still had some broken parts so they would have been okay, but what you really want them for is the initial launcher and pulse drive which you can't get the repairs for in time

[finite scaffold]

This!

[remote thunder]

two mt class upgrades and 1 ship class upgrade (phase 4 milestone 5) from milestone rewards. that said - note that i'm not sure if they're enabled - but when mem fragments were introduced, in expedition 7, there was a type that could class upgrade. i don't know if those are enabled in exp13, sorry, so i can't (yet at least) suggest finding graves to get mem fragments. @snow ruin when we were discussing space stations, i guess this was mb, i should have clarified that there are ways to class upgrade, but we were trying to focus on space stations clarification, as in, no regular space station interior.

[snow ruin]

I have the following general list of things (which is a lot like the pinned one):
What to bring when starting from existing save:
You generally don't need to bring anything, but some Quality of Life things are:

• Oxygen (for recharging Exosuit)

• Sodium (for recharging Hazard Protection)

• Ferrite Dust (for general construction and crafting)

• Uranium (for refuelling Launch Thrusters)

• Pyrite (for refuelling Pulse Engine)

• Warp Cells/Hypercores (for refuelling Hyperdrive)

Some extra quality of life:
-# Exosuit Tech

• Packaged Personal Refiner (Mk2 if you have it, just for being able to refine stuff on the go)
• Packaged Haz-Mat Gauntlets (to be able to harvest all plants)
• AtlasPass v3 (to be able to open all the containers)
  -# Mercantile
• Something to refine to Nanites (e.g. hyaline brain (1:230), inverted mirror (1:75), radiant shard (1:50), runaway mould (5:1)) to buy upgrades and/or copy ship or MT
• Something expensive to sell so you have more units accessible for if you see a ship you really want or other such things.
  -# If not copying ship over:
• Packaged Launch System Recharger (to avoid having to refuel it yourself)
• Packaged Indium Drive (to be able to go to any star system)
• Packaged Aqua-Jets (to be able to land on water)
  -# For extra materials:
• Some Copper, Cadmium, Emeril, Indium which you can get more of with refiner loops.
  -# If you have them:
• Expansion slots (for the Exosuit, MT, ship)

People upset that this guy gets to skip rush hour traffic

[remote thunder]

(do note that phase 1 milestone 3 will have the player install personal refiner mk2)

[finite scaffold]

Huh... I must not have noticed because I had my copied 2x2 ship and MT already

Thanks for the info

[wraith junco]

It not nms related. It goes to #off-topic-bond-james-bond

[frail cloud]

There is some strange damages on the first planet. I've been hit two or three times by "something" unidentified.

[rich solar]

Wrong send. That was meant to be in a direct message. Sorry

[finite scaffold]

Okay, I don't feel so bad. I was running at the time from tendrils and sentinels but I know my health wasn't even below half with any damage tokens used. Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy 😆

[snow ruin]

Milestone rewards upgrading ships is exceptions IMO, so not something that is that useful to consider when talking about ways to upgrade the class of ships in general. If the memory fragments can do it then that's a reasonable way to get upgrading of ships since it's actually replicable.

[sand marlin]

You were right. All ships you had will turn into nanite rewards. The vulture itself was an expedition reward so you can pick that up anytime on the anomaly.

[remote thunder]

yeah, that's also why we didn't mention at the time

[lethal mirage]

They aren't tho?

[sand marlin]

Which nanite item do you like the best? On your list I think runaway mould would be the most space efficient.

[finite scaffold]

And in case you guys were like me and missed that the iron vulture (first time exped came through) can be copied as many times as you want for unique scrap parts (for changing the color!). Gotta end exped with it as your current ship though

[snow ruin]

I think Runaway Mould is the most space efficient too

Around 2k nanites per stack, given normal stack sizes

[sand marlin]

The pinned list is pretty good. Next time I will add aqua-jets, mould for nanites, and expansion slots (or maps to craft them). I had shards for nanites, but it wasn't enough to get my ship or multitool, so pretty much useless.

[remote thunder]

tainted metal is worth it

[sand marlin]

I don't like the tainted metal farm, but that would be fine as well

[snow ruin]

Aqua-jets is probably a good addition to the list too. I made that list before Aqua-jets were a thing, IIRC

Then again, my list was based on a list made by someone previously, to be clear

[sand marlin]

Oh and the refiner, except we got lucky and the expedition gave us a mk2 refiner

[finite scaffold]

Needed the mk2 refiner to make deuterium I think

[remote thunder]

phase 1 milestone 2

[finite scaffold]

No other way that I was aware of

[sand marlin]

I think you can mine it, but I refined mine as well

[finite scaffold]

How does one bring a personal refiner to the exped? Remove the tech after install and bring that way?

[snow ruin]

You can package it up, yes

[finite scaffold]

Never even thought of that before

Genius

[sand marlin]

Yep, package it up

[finite scaffold]

I would post a big brain meme gif if I could without it being deleted 😆

Womp womp

[snow ruin]

Suspicious packets might be good for getting exosuit tech upgrades and MT tech upgrades (though MT tech upgrades isn't that important if you're copying over your MT anyway, but the exosuit can't be copied over)

[sand marlin]

though in this expedition you wouldn't have had the refiner in time to make deuterium, it was still pretty useful for the other objectives

[remote thunder]

only way on a planet - no 1 input slot recipe for deuterium - finding a npc that sells some could become a chore; can't mine it - deuterium plants apply the jetpack buff instead. that said, pulse engine modules iirc drop deuterium+loom (when dismantled)

[finite scaffold]

But don't you then need said pulse engine to get anywhere reasonably fast?

[sand marlin]

like I duplicated my faecium to make gold and the cooking objective

[snow ruin]

Modules, not the engine itself

[finite scaffold]

Ohhhhh

[snow ruin]

Think you aren't able to dismantle the pulse engine, it's essential tech

[remote thunder]

pulse engine upgrade modules, which you could possibly obtain elsewhere, like from buried caches/sus packets tech

[finite scaffold]

So bring tech for the purpose of dismantling... Thats not something I thought of either

I'm not used to dismantiling stuff for parts, as opposed to doing it because I don't need it

[sand marlin]

I mean there aren't a lot of useful technologies, so pulse engine upgrades is probably okay, but the hyperdrive ones were a great idea

[remote thunder]

dismantling stuff for resources can be a powerful way to fast forward

e.g. dismantle rocket launcher for 100 copper and 50 cond carbon

[sand marlin]

illegal hazard upgrades would have been good too, and you can transfer them back afterwards

[remote thunder]

those can drop from buried caches

inc x-class pulse engine

which leads to what i was saying - deuterium

[quaint urchin]

You gain access to more Supercharged slots the higher the class of the ship. Plus you can add more storage on higher class as well. S-Class can have 4 Supercharged slots showing and each class below that hides one of them. So, S=4, A=3, B=2, and C=1 Supercharged slot showing.

[remote thunder]

may need to add more tech slots to reveal hidden SC slots

[finite scaffold]

That's not a good enough reason for me to ever upgrade an exped ship. I was more mentioning that because someone else said they wanted to upgrade the class of a ship and wanted to find an A class ship.

[remote thunder]

(in rare cases, with MTs, may even need a class upgrade first, to be able to expand the grid)

[finite scaffold]

One sc slot is meh for spending that many nanites on something temporary

Rather just copy a ship if I need more damage

[remote thunder]

before i knew it, i had this on me

baby worms watch out

😛

[sand marlin]

I had a pretty nice looking interceptor. Would have been nice to save it, but I didn't keep the coordinates

[remote thunder]

goto discoveries, add planet to wonders/personal records if you still have the save

something like (screenshots dont quite match, but just for you to get an idea)

[finite scaffold]

I realize why someone would want to upgrade a ship for SC slots, but the context of the message was about upgrading ship in an exped where you literally can't fight anything with a ship. So no need for extra SC slots

Unless you wanna save like launcher fuel 😆

[wintry void]

sc slots aint just for fighting

[finite scaffold]

Yes, I know

Just not worth using nanites for a temporary SC slot on a ship you wont keep

[remote thunder]

check this out - i thought this was both funny and interesting 😄

[finite scaffold]

Or in this case, a milestone reward

[wintry void]

hmm i started with a hauler in my expedition

[remote thunder]

heh

[finite scaffold]

I've seen this before, where it says your hyperdrive range is long enough for a warp but it wont let you

Think its a bug?

[remote thunder]

a consequence of it not counting base hyperdrive range in the galaxy map, i thought

probably worth reporting just in case

[wintry void]

might be a decimal point thing?

[finite scaffold]

If the algorithm to figure out the range isnt correctly shown, then I would say its a bug

[quaint urchin]

I did this off of a New save when I started the Expedition, so I wanted the ship upgrade so I would have an S-Class ship post expedition. Since I got cheated though, post Expedition I'll just set purchases to free and upgrade it at the terminal... Lol

[remote thunder]

base hyperdrive range on all ships is 1LY - i reckon it's not counting it, but only counting the +100LY from core hyperdrive tech + the 1.25x from SC

but i'm not a dev anyway so i might be wrong ofc

[wintry void]

Think my save was kinda buggy, every time I loaded it, it started me back at start planet, escape reload last save and put me back to where I shoulda been

[remote thunder]

yeah that's a bit weird

[wintry void]

and I started with hauler, i gather I was supposed to have a shuttle?

[remote thunder]

iirc, i started with a shuttle last time too

i think so yeah

but things can change so

[wintry void]

i traded it in after 1st jump anyway for sentinel

[finite scaffold]

I honestly wish there was a way to do exped from fresh save but still transfer the rewards/currency gained from doing it to a main save without using just QS vendor

Starting like the old expeds, with nothing other than what they give

[molten turtle]

I'm doing the event and I need Deuterium to repair my launch thrusters, however it says that I can only get it by refining Tritium and Dihydrogen? But I can't get Tritium from the ground right?

[remote thunder]

refine silicate powder+di hydrogen

[wintry void]

Di hydrogen and si......damn bk beat me to it

[molten turtle]

Thanks a lot guys! The game kept telling me I need Tritium so I was very confused.

[frozen laurel]

Is there tritium in the stalactites on the starter planet?

[median sparrow]

Not that I seen

But plenty asteroids above.

[remote thunder]

for deuterium? just refine silicate powder+di hydro

[shut plaza]

So let's say I sold that eye thing on the ship.. how bad off am i

[frozen laurel]

Oh for sure, I just know that it can be found in caves on some worlds. I thought maybe that's why the game is showing it as the recipe.

[brittle steppe]

Well, that was about the fastest I've ever completed an expedition.

[remote thunder]

could probably get another one from sus packets goods, or guaranteed from abyssal horrors underwater

oh wait

trade terminal in stations should have it

[shut plaza]

Thank you

[remote thunder]

yep

[shut plaza]

Awesome, thanks

[dense wave]

Soo how do I find these synthetics?

[quasi cave]

They appear in pairs on planets as the only animals

[dense wave]

Ok- but I can't get to red, green or blue stars

[remote thunder]

complete phase 2 milestone 1. only in uncharted systems, look for any planet that doesnt have rusted metal on resource list, but has more than 2 and less than 5 fauna species

[quasi cave]

You need their respective upgrades

[remote thunder]

you can just get indium drive, which covers all

[quasi cave]

Oh yeah

[remote thunder]

emeril for example can be rng-obtained from buried caches even in yellow star systems

otherwise, go through the hoops till emeril

[quasi cave]

Also why is nada the only npc but they’re off?

[remote thunder]

Adrift

[quasi cave]

Right but still why do i need the mind ark

[dense wave]

Welp I'm screwed then

[remote thunder]

why's that?

[dense wave]

I've finished phase two entirely

[remote thunder]

click on a free ship tech slot, find cadmium drive on the list

[dense wave]

Time to hunt copper

[quasi cave]

I guess I’ll find out

[finite scaffold]

When you're able to travel to a blue system it's good to look around the galaxy map before you hunt for synthetics. I noted, on the blue star I found one of the synthetic fauna on, that it had a synthetic in its blue star name you can see from the map, if you can find it. I wasnt the only one who did this tactic either

[remote thunder]

not just blue stars

any uncharted system

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Galaxy Map: NPC presence

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.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

95% of red, 40% of green and blue star systems are uncharted

that is the first requirement for synth fauna

uncharted as in, no race icon on galaxy map

[finite scaffold]

Hunting for them is just horrible, just search galaxy map for people who changed or altered galaxy name that its there and there no guess work

[remote thunder]

also,

It's alive milestone

[finite scaffold]

Having to go through a portal or search for the name of a system is just as daunting though

[remote thunder]

usually takes a minute or two once player aligns themselves like the screenshot and sticks to the defined distance

that said, the more reference points there are in the screenshot - but not too many

[turbid lake]

can you actually build ships in the exped?

I’m guessing not

[sand marlin]

My log led me straight to an abandonded system, and someone had helpfully renamed the system to which planet had the creatures to scan.

[sand marlin]

not this one at least

[acoustic jacinth]

Is there any way I can get the Portable Refiner Recipe in Adrift?

[weary badge]

Reward for one of the the milestones.

[acoustic jacinth]

Which milestone?

[weary badge]

phase 1 From the Ashes

[acoustic jacinth]

Ok

[indigo falcon]

you get the personal refiner mark 2 which is better in every way basically

[acoustic jacinth]

I want the Portable, not Personnal. Because i don't see it. Plus, i gotta Harvest a lot of Pugneum for Nanites

[remote thunder]

complete and claim phase 1 milestone 2, then click on a free exosuit tech slot - should see it on the list

[acoustic jacinth]

And i don't wanna die every time I try to kill Sentinels

[remote thunder]

remember that there's other things that can be refined to nanites, like radiant shards

[inner sparrow]

I thought i outsmarted the pinned list of items to bring by bringing suspicious goods instead of items to refine, boy was i wrong

suspicious tech i mean

[acoustic jacinth]

I mean this

[acoustic jacinth]

I was also wrong. Brought a whole stack of Arms sus packs.

[remote thunder]

early on sure, before getting personal refiner mk2, sure - but after that, there's not much reason to use both - unless you want to make refining existing stacks faster ofc

[inner sparrow]

🤦‍♂️

me too

dumb question how do you react on discord

[remote thunder]

might need to get to familiar rank first

[acoustic jacinth]

[iron sedge]

argh, can't believe I junked my hynotic eye, now I have to go hunt another one down 😦

[acoustic jacinth]

Damn. Uhhh. Gaining nanites here is harder. I gotta Harvest a lotta Pugneum

[sly sedge]

Harvest Atlantideum. It can be refined into Pugneum. https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Atlantideum#Refining

Also, I noticed a few bases people built around some Runaway Mould. Great way to wrack up some Nanites.

[remote thunder]

can just buy one from a trade terminal in a space station

[remote thunder]

^

[iron sedge]

bk the all-knowing comes up trumps once again, thanks! Wasn't having much luck hunting for underwater ruins.

[slate wadi]

I need to find robotic life form. Where exactly can I find one?

[queen rain]

there are a few bases you can access from the teleporters. they have the names in the title like robotic or synthetic

i can't find a traveller to save my life -_-

[slate wadi]

Somehow quest guided me to system with it

Through star map

[queen rain]

it supposedly did but when i got there, i wasn't able to scan for it

'current mission' is greyed out so it wont let me see it

i guess i'll wait a day or two for someone to build a base near one 😦

[remote thunder]

just look for the planet or planets with more than 1 fauna species but less than 5

[rocky kernel]

If I put a multi tool into the anomaly for the exhibition, copy it into the exhibition, then use it and allow it to get upgraded during the exhibition, can I copy it back when the exhibition is done? I know you get a MT as part of the exhibition, but thought it would be nice to upgrade the tool I got from the last exhibition instead of the one you get during this one.

I've copied MTs I've gotten during, just wasn't sure about the one you can bring in if you pay for it.

[wraith junco]

140 LY from rdv 3 was one. Look for uncharted red system

[remote thunder]

can I copy it back when the exhibition is done?
yes - may just need to scrap existing tool first, but that's an if

[remote thunder]

btw, added it to pinned post/milestone tips

[rocky kernel]

Ah, cool, I'll try that out, wasn't sure if you had to have the NPC there to scrap during the exhibition.

[remote thunder]

when you copy it back to primary, you'll be in your primary save, not in the expedition

[rocky kernel]

Oh, "if" I have too many MTs?

[quaint urchin]

I didn't have the blueprint for the Portable Refiner when I started, but after my first warp it was available to craft. I wasn't paying attention to when it showed up...

[rocky kernel]

I'm lost. LOL

[frozen laurel]

How do you know that's a red system?

[remote thunder]

if game refuses to let you claim the copy in primary because it already has a MT with the same seed

[remote thunder]

spectral class M (or K)

[rocky kernel]

Ah, ok, now I see, makes sense. TY!

[wraith junco]

[queen rain]

nah looking for traveller not robot

[remote thunder]

we were replying to igilq actually

that said

why do you need travelers for? graves? memory fragments?

[raw sun]

so... I figured out that planetary settlements are also abandoned... So I made my base in one...

[wraith junco]

Hey. Its Shop and free landing spot

[raw sun]

Something so Cathartic with just putting an expidition logo on a huge structure just... MwAH

also the view from the top is amazing

[ocean garnet]

This expedition looks tough

[wraith junco]

Nah. Only the start bit is

With all the worms and fauna

[sand marlin]

I would say this expedition is a bit harder than the last few I did. Without proper space stations and traders, getting resources was harder. I had to rely on refining recipes which I did not have memorized and forced me to check the wiki.

[wraith junco]

Next ones will be chill. I got narkolepsia from aquarius xd

[blazing fossil]

Next one is liquidiators

[jagged sedge]

I refuse to interact with these buggers again

[blazing fossil]

Much pew pew

[wraith junco]

Keep meeter above 50% full and they wont bother u

[jagged sedge]

Nope. I refuse.

[arms folded and maybe pouting a little]

[wraith junco]

It was borng for me . Doing same thing over and over. I had feeling that im doing nexus mission.

[sand marlin]

liquidators was fun, it gave you a great weapon almost immediately and you just blasted everything

[main wyvern]

Not every expedition is for everyone

[solemn bane]

As a test I turned all the difficulty settings up (mainly the -resources, +hazards, -your damage, +their damage) and turned on the spooky ghosts from The Cursed and the constant Biological Horror spawns from Liquidators. Total nightmare, lol.

[jagged sedge]

So, the current redux, 'adrift', it seems like the original let you send out frigate missions after getting the freighter, but now the option doesn't seem to be there

[sand marlin]

I ignored the frigate since you didn't get it until the end of phase 4

[jagged sedge]

My freighter has a frigate already, tho

Will it unlock after getting the other one?

[sand marlin]

oh, I meant freighter my bad

[solemn bane]

What does the frigate mission guy say when you talk to him?

[jagged sedge]

There isn't a guy, in the original 'adrift' the missions were chosen from the same panel where you check your fleet

[solemn bane]

Ohhh, right. Neat. I guess that makes sense. How can they do missions with nobody on board, right? 😆

[jagged sedge]

but the option isn't there ... maybe I need to unlock the other frigate first?

[versed oriole]

I got a question. Finished the adrift expedition got a cool Iron vulture.

I want to change its colors I read you have to salvage the iron vulture first. Will i be able to redeem the iron vulture again from quicksilver shop if i screw up the salvaging?

I have not fabercated a starship in the 500 hrs ive been playing NMS.😆

Said i unlocked stealth paint want to check it out

[jagged sedge]

I've never tried to recolor the Vulture, she's a fine bird as she is, lol

[versed oriole]

Well i saw some cool designs on google images about replacing tail and colors to black/orange kinda looks dope but i always want to chrck out stealth paint. But i dont know if ill be able to redeem it again if i mess up. Lol

[compact fractal]

why i dont have refiner?

[versed oriole]

Youll unlock portable backback refiner through one of the opening missions

[jagged sedge]

That is weird ... might need to restart the file

[cold tulip]

Milestone 2 gives the portable one

[jagged sedge]

Or that, if it's possible without the portable

[compact fractal]

oh my god

[cold tulip]

Its always like this

[compact fractal]

personal refiner

[versed oriole]

Yep lol

[jagged sedge]

I dunno, I started with it?

Sure did, looking at it right now, lol

[acoustic jacinth]

I wanna ask. Do i get the Iron Vulture Starship components, so I can Combine them with other ship components in the Starship fabricator?

[acoustic jacinth]

Someone said above that you gotta warp into the 1st System and then you will get the Refiner.

[acoustic jacinth]

Here. He said it.

[remote thunder]

you get the fully built ship, but if you copied it multiple times to primary, at least 3, you could also get its parts to ship build with

[acoustic jacinth]

Copy 3 times? Can i do that?

[remote thunder]

fwiw, i did not have to warp before i had my portable refiner

[remote thunder]

sure

[gleaming pond]

you have to do it one at a time

[acoustic jacinth]

I know.

[muted granite]

Before you finalize the expedition, you can copy it and salvage it as many times as you’d like. You’ll only get 1 of 3 components each salvage though, so to fully rebuild it, you’ll need to salvage it at least three times, at roughly 2800nanites per copy (at least, Starborn Runner was 2800 nanites…)

[sand marlin]

What's the advantage of salvaging it vs just keeping it? It's a good ship right?

[muted granite]

It’s a great ship. You can do both, I plan to. When salvaging it, you can also mix its parts with other parts of haulers. If you add its engines to another hauler, that hauler will also gain the unique ability to hover — something only sentinel ships and the Starborn runner can otherwise do.

[remote thunder]

not engines, wings afaik

[acoustic jacinth]

Ok. This is about the New ship, the Starborn Phoenix. If I have a Save on PS4, can i get it there?

[main wyvern]

Starborn is only like that when it's landed

In space it's just a cool-looking ship

[remote thunder]

if you're cross saving from pc, and the pc save has it, and you're playing the pc save on console, then it probably will have it there

[main wyvern]

They should just give it to consoles directly

[remote thunder]

to be clear, starborn runner can hover inside planet atmos, not landed, at 0u/s, like sentinels and iron vulture wings can - the landing gear animation, yes, that doesn't play while hovering, only when landed

[acoustic jacinth]

And i also wanna ask. I already got the Item in Steam, but i don't have The Game. Do i have to claim it at the Quicksilver Synthesis on the Space Anomaly before December 19th or do i have it permamently?

[main wyvern]

Have you tested it?

[remote thunder]

tested what, runner hovering inside atmos? sure

it didn't have it at first, but devs added the ability in a subsequent patch after omega's original run

[main wyvern]

Have you hovered directly above the planet's surface, taken a picture, come back hours later and taken another and compared?

[main wyvern]

Ohh

how 2 activate?

[remote thunder]

in the official post it says:

The Starborn Phoenix is free to claim on Steam right now, until 10:00 PT / 18:00 GMT on Dec 19th - even if you don’t own No Man’s Sky.
it doesnt' say that you have to get it from the qs shop. i checked, and i already have it in my account, i can see it in my qs shop, which means that its unlocked

i think you'd be safe

[main wyvern]

How do you activate ship being completely still?

It's still moving on my screen, even though I'm on a planet

[remote thunder]

just keep holding brake till it stops - at 0u/s, it will basically idle but move very very slowly forward, same as sentinel and iron vulture do

[main wyvern]

It keeps switching between 5,6,and 0 us

And more

[remote thunder]

100% sure it should hold at 0u/s

[acoustic jacinth]

How can i find the whispering eggs?

[remote thunder]

nearby any building like abandoned building, minor settlement, observatory, transmission tower etc; and scattered around planets (look for red egg icons on the surface with visor)

just flying low and slow quick scanning with ship should eventually get you a unknown building marker that's suitable

remember to interact with waypoints when you see them, need 6 of them

[versed oriole]

Thank you

[blazing fossil]

[sly sedge]

I was just saying this last night. People need to put railings on the stairs.

[wraith junco]

There is a planet in with 1400u summits after u exit portal at some point of the exp

[jagged sedge]

Woot! I've found a crashed solar ship -- no more launch fuel crafting 🙂

[wraith junco]

There is dissonant planet in starter system so u can get a sentinel ship

[dire mirage]

found this base in the expedition. What is it talking about? Taking the teleporter goes to 227 units elevation. any ideas?

[wraith junco]

Base not fully uploaded to hg servers and not updated yet probably

[dire mirage]

damb

[jagged sedge]

The interceptor I grabbed was a C class ... sigh

[wraith junco]

Mine too. It did his job. Mainly for jump range

And ez fuel

[slender sinew]

Yoo where did You get this

The design looks good

[wraith junco]

Starter system

[slender sinew]

Oh expedition
Haven't started yet

Doing the main quest line(artemis)

[slender sinew]

😅😅I never noticed that I didn't need launch fuel for solar ships

[jagged sedge]

Yeap, that sail may block half the view, but it works well

[slender sinew]

Only used one
Cause it was my starting ship for last expedition

Can't react on messages

[jagged sedge]

I actually prefer shuttles, but the launch auto charger wasn't included in the current expedition [insert gripe here] or I'd stick with it

[sly sedge]

Exotic is the way to go. Well rounded stats.

[jagged sedge]

Not for me tho

[solemn bane]

Well rounded designs, too

[sly sedge]

Yup. The bug eye takes some getting used to, but that little thing is a powerhouse.

[exotic fog]

Im not sure how far from starting area i am in way i can get to a summit planet im crying here XD

[remote thunder]

rendezvous 2 planet Ixst should have high enough peaks

[exotic fog]

Thanks porting now

Im not there yet XD

[remote thunder]

"stuck" in loading? takes a little sometimes

rendezvous planets - i'd suggest having mp disabled

[compact fractal]

Damn is every station abandoned? Even the anomaly dont have that dude i cant get a free herald

[remote thunder]

yep, no npcs

[compact fractal]

Damn i guess i wont be able to do multiple jump at once

[remote thunder]

get/bring a sentinel ship

+600LY range on crimson core alone

starter system has a dissonant planet, where you could try to find an echo locator dissonance resonator - using it would lead to a harmonic camp, and from there the harmonic interface would lead to a sentinel crashed ship site

[acoustic jacinth]

Where can i find Robotic lifeforms?

Is there a place I can sell technology for nanites in this expidition?

[compact fractal]

Nice thanks

[remote thunder]

nope

@compact fractal if "it's alive" hint leads you to open the galaxy map - follow it, it should also mark a valid system

[lofty zealot]

Another question. How does one summit a mountain lmaooo it seems so ambiguous

I have definetly been very high up and didnt get the milestone

[compact fractal]

just go to random space station a lot of players made stair way to heaven lol

just tp to that and clijmb

[remote thunder]

in short, the way i always do it is i fly around in a planet that has huge peaks, land my ship as close as i can to the top of one of the peaks that seem the tallest, then start climbing to the very peak, checking the milestone hint as i go, which tracks height. almost there this one 😄

rdv2 planet has such high peaks

[compact fractal]

go to the teleporter there are a lot of "1400" there

[merry dagger]

I've legitimately never known the benefit of using sentinal ships besides them looking cool. Neat to know they have a flat jump rang bonus

[ebon belfry]

I have a problem with "Abandonment" Mission. I have to find a crashed ship and restore it, but whenever I approach the distress signal point, the ship isn't there

[merry dagger]

I got the height on a dissonance planet during a gravity storm. Just kept going up

[quaint urchin]

Not all that say '1400' are accurate though... This one wasn't even at 200.

[quaint urchin]

Disable Multiplayer, hop in and out of your ship, reload restore point.

[remote thunder]

let's start there

[ebon belfry]

I'll try that

I did that, but the ship is missing, still (I was on the distress signal spot)
I guess I'll try going to the other planet and using the signal booster to see if that helps

[remote thunder]

hmm - strange, perhaps a save+reload from the main menu would be in order.

[ebon belfry]

I tried it too, still not there... Strange

[remote thunder]

and this is a system with a race icon on galaxy map/discoveries?

i'd try a diff planet if so.

[ebon belfry]

System has 3 X's

Should I warp to a system that has a race icon?

[remote thunder]

yep

[ebon belfry]

Okay, let's see

I found it, thank you

[sleek spade]

Where's a good place to summit a mountain

[remote thunder]

rdv2 planet

[sleek spade]

Aight

[stiff pasture]

Finding synthetic creatures is an absolute nightmare...

[wraith junco]

[stiff pasture]

Thanks!

[wraith junco]

Np

[livid drift]

Just while I'm preparing - should multiplayer be off for the most part? I see bits and pieces saying to turn it off to make stuff easier

[remote thunder]

Yeah, mostly to avoid bugs on some of the milestones

[median sparrow]

anyone find any close by mountains or am I going to just build vertical? 😄

[remote thunder]

i've been told that in rdv2 planet there's peaks high enough - you could try and goto that system's space station and try your luck with possibly available bases there (just remember to save+reload first if you had summoned anomaly in there already, and went there with mp enabled)

[median sparrow]

What luck

Headed to RDV2 planet now.

Wow... first mountain I landed on got it for me.

I despise these mountain planets...

It's that or I'm bugged. I cannot land anywhere.

[remote thunder]

then i'd suggest trying to land on the ground - deep down on the surface, or trying to quick scan for a building with a landing pad

[median sparrow]

I found a nearby trading outpost that was the RDV point. Just tedious.

They always pick these mountain planets for some reason.

[remote thunder]

no, not really, but i understand 🤗

[wet quest]

Okay quick question - am I supposed to be finding ONLY dead/abandoned systems? 😂 because I'mma lose my mind

[remote thunder]

in expedition 13 yes

Adrift: 11th Dec - 25th Dec Alone in an empty universe, the Adrift Expedition redefines what it means to survive among the stars. Communications from other Travellers are consumed by static, and in a reality devoid of other lifeforms, there are no shops, no trading, no shortcuts and no help, providing a very different survival experience.

love it

[mortal bone]

If I already own the Frigate and Starship rewards for completing this expedition, will I be able to get a 2nd ones?

[remote thunder]

nope

[mortal bone]

😭

[remote thunder]

by that i mean that you wouldnt be able to unlock them again; but for example, if you started expedition from an existing save, like your main save, you could copy and scrap iron vulture for customization modules, multiple times if you wanted - to ship build haulers with in your main save

[mortal bone]

Ohhhhhh okay. Misinterpreted that.

Thank you for the clarification.

[remote thunder]

no problem, anytime

[plain viper]

i have a question on repair ship mission... are there ships less broken than others? should i shop around?

[remote thunder]

are you referring to the Abandonment milestone from phase 3? i do believe that you only need to fix launch thruster+pulse engine to clear that milestone iirc

[plain viper]

yes, phase 3 ... ok thanks let me try that

[remote thunder]

double check the milestone hint - remember that you can force cycle hints by spam pressing H or dpad left as many times as needed

[wet quest]

Ooof. I wish I woulda read the description and adjusted my load out for this 🫠 I’ve learned my lesson

[remote thunder]

you'll still do fine 🙂 anything just ask

[wet quest]

The concern now is I brought things to trade for Units, thinking I was being clever 😂😂

[remote thunder]

well, can still sell items for units at a trade terminal

or did you mean nanites?

[wet quest]

Oh DUH the dead ones have a trade terminal still huh?

[remote thunder]

ahuh

[wet quest]

No no I brought mold for that and have been refining

[wet quest]

Thank you! I forgot about that.

[plain viper]

it worked, thanks!!!

[grave arrow]

What are rewards for this one

[snow ruin]

For that, there's also information in the pins: you don't need tritium to refine deuterium

[clever stream]

i read the pins ty

[snow ruin]

The pins are generally very good in this channel

But as always it's easy to forget that they exist

[sly sedge]

The Expedition Terminus allows me to copy my Starship from the main save to the Primary Save, and vica versa. So, could I copy my Starborn Runner from the main save, then copy it back to the main save to have 2 of them?

[remote thunder]

afaik it wont let you copy from exp back into primary, not before you scrap the runner that's in primary first

(because it's the same seed, basically)

[sly sedge]

Ok, what if I take parts out of the one in the Expedition, like the Photonix Core. Can I then take that back into the primary save?

[remote thunder]

yes, definitely - you could do that

[sly sedge]

Sweet.

[remote thunder]

could also copy runner from exp->primary multiple times

[clever stream]

uhhhhhhhhhhh

[remote thunder]

you'd just pkg photonix core+scrap+go copy again

[clever stream]

WHY ARE THERE THREE DERELICT FREIGHTERS On the planet?

[remote thunder]

multiplayer

[clever stream]

I cant use my jetpack

[remote thunder]

save+reload

[sly sedge]

I had the same problem. Had to reload from my last save and avoid that planet.

[remote thunder]

disable mp

[sly sedge]

If I do this, does it overwrite all the new equipment I've added to my primary Runner?

[remote thunder]

sorry - as mentioned before/afaik, to do this, you'd have to scrap your existing runner to begin with

otherwise

wait -

so

[clever stream]

lol this is just ridciulous looking

[remote thunder]

what you can do is

[remote thunder]

@sly sedge this wouldn't be super easy because there's no fast way to nanites in exp13 but,

you could - copy runner into exp, pkg photonix core, scrap it. goto anomaly exp terminus, copy it again. pkg photonix core - repeat as many times as you got the nanites for

at the end - bring them back with the tech slots from exp terminus

[sly sedge]

Actually, I have a habit of taking nanite producing materials into the Expeditions with me. I should be able to do that at least twice.

[remote thunder]

so yeah, that's a way to get multiple photonix cores and keeping your "primary Runner"

[sly sedge]

Perfect then, thanks.

My primary save has over 300k nanites, so I just save Runaway Mould and take a full stack into the expeditions.

Once I unlock all the base blueprints, I'm gonna do the same thing with the Salvaged Data.

[remote thunder]

@sly sedge np. also, one more thing. you could even abuse exp terminus inventory stash, to bring more than 8 tech/modules; simply end but don't finish - add items, back out, save, pause/options/return to primary, take items, save, resume exp - repeat

[sly sedge]

Wait, I can load that thing up and unload multiple times?

[remote thunder]

only after you end

[sly sedge]

Damn, I was always worried about what to fit in there at the end of the expeditions.

Well, now I know. And knowing is half the battle.

[remote thunder]

indeed

should still work just fine, haven't heard anything in contrary

because exp terminus is basically a shared stash between the two "saves"

once slots are "unlocked" again

[sly sedge]

Nice. This is only my 4th expedition, so at least I didn't miss many opportunities.

[remote thunder]

when you save, you save your save file, that has both the primary and expedition run - and the stash

for example

another thing you could do

ever got to the anomaly in expedition and realized you equipped the "wrong ship or tool" before starting?

np; save, return to primary, change active gear, save, resume expedition, new gear/tech inventory is available to copy

[sly sedge]

Yeah, so I could copy over a different multi-tool or ship? I think I noticed that before.

[remote thunder]

ahuh

pretty neat

dont know if the devs will patch it or not, but it doesn't really look like it

has been around since inception afaik

[sly sedge]

It seems more like a feature than a bug, to be honest.

[remote thunder]

yeah, also because of the way they did it

and/or had to do it

[sly sedge]

I mean, how else would you have control over which ship/tool to copy over?

[remote thunder]

exactly

but they could have blocked it to a single copy or somthing

anyways glad it's a thing - not many people want to bring that much stuff that's true as well

[sly sedge]

It can be hard to build up a new MultiTool in the space of an Expedition, if you've got to fight a lot of Sentinels.

[radiant geode]

wild.

am i still supposed to go in there?

[open dagger]

That is interesting and great to know! Thank you again as always bk!!

[clever stream]

where do I get more hypnotic eyes?

[radiant geode]

space station shops sell em

[magic elbow]

anything important i should bring w/ me for the adrift redux? i did the usual of storing a few of my high-tear techs and bringing a bunch of basic resources, but i don't rly need all of these and i'm guessing there's some specific items that'll make my life a lot easier if i brought instead?
(Update: i'm dumb, check pins, lol)

[clever stream]

Where Can i find more atlandiuem?

[dire mirage]

so during Adrift expedition, if I didn't immediately use the multi tool or starship upgrades, is there any way to use those later?

[magic elbow]

nvm there's a pin for what you should bring, my bad

[indigo falcon]

there's adissonant planet in the starter system, go there and mine it

[clever stream]

whats the name of the starter system?

[indigo falcon]

it's in the pins (all system names plus glyphs)

[final arch]

guys, i think im in trouble, i just started the expedition but cant find any copper anywhere in the planet i spawned, i need it to install the advanced mining laser

[indigo falcon]

it's there, just choose a direction to go in, and keep scanning around every 200u or so

everyone starts on the same world in the expedition

[final arch]

i've been walking for like 20 minutes 😩

[indigo falcon]

what resources are listed for the planet? should be cactus flesh and....?

[final arch]

sodium, cursed dust and copper

but i see no damn copper anywhere hahaa

[indigo falcon]

you'll have to keep walking. just check the hud every 200u or so, left right and ahead, it will be there

[final arch]

okay tks

[radiant geode]

*note, not using scan button to send out a pulse, but rather the binoculars device thing.

[dire mirage]

is there no way? 😦

[radiant geode]

?

[final arch]

praise the lawd

[dire mirage]

I didn't use the starship inventory upgrades, or multitool slot upgrades, immediately

is there any way to use them now?

[radiant geode]

yeah, I was wondering that too

skipped installing them when the moment happened as I had to quickly shut down the game cuz life.

[indigo falcon]

it may be that on the next milestone that awards more of those, you can use them. but I really can't remember if that works or not

you can't manually install them, that's for sure

[dire mirage]

damb

[indigo falcon]

well it's intended for this game, that you do not have access to all those space station amenities

[radiant geode]

then it's annoying it keeps prompting me to install the things

[indigo falcon]

yeah it will do that if yo uhave them on you... put them in a storage container I guess

[crisp iris]

I need help... im stuck on the starting planet without a way to fix the launch thrusters on the ship

[indigo falcon]

just do the milestones in order, you'll get it done

[clever stream]

Silicate Dust + DiHydrogen

[indigo falcon]

for these first few milestones. you need to install the adv mining laser to get the personal refiner; you need the personal refiner to refine deuterium

[crisp iris]

Thanks

[worn heron]

Thanks, this helped me out a lot.

[dense wave]

Seems I need to hop there!

[inland rain]

Adrift huh? Ugh, grinding I go again 🤷

[dense wave]

You didn't happen to put a base down by chance?

Oh my god I just refined 500 activated cadmium

WHHHHYYYY

[slate wadi]

How do I chart waypoints?

[open dagger]

From your ship, scan the planets surface and any building will have a waypoint - little tower thingy

[radiant geode]

hey, I just completed leg 2, and having the expansions on my ship let me use all of them when I used the new ones just rewarded.

[dire mirage]

oh nice thanks

[radiant geode]

The flag outside every building. 'use' it.

[magic elbow]

qq? you can't visit the anomaly until after R1 right?

[radiant geode]

after the first warp IIRC

[dusky oracle]

how do I find an abandoned building in a planet?

[lost sky]

They can show up with signal boosters

[dusky oracle]

thx, I did that but only showing a settlement

maybe I should go to other planet?

[devout echo]

just found a random base in the expedition that went UP ... so I was like aww yiss a free 1400u summit ... it tops out at 1,229U ... this is top tier trolling holy crap.

[inland rain]

Where tf is copper

All this cursed ore is annoying

[sly sedge]

I just had some broken frigate warp into space in front of me, communicate, then warp away. Was I supposed to do something different?

[slate wadi]

No

[inland rain]

When do you unlock the refiner?

Or is it only backpacks

[devout echo]

I think you can get a refiner as a reward for one of the early milestones.

[slate wadi]

But only backpack one

I stumbled upon mission which makes me look at stars for 60 seconds. How do I complete it?

[white perch]

How do I upload a base for the people?

[sly sedge]

For the people? Add a hammer and sickle.

[white perch]

I created one called Sunken Wonderland that leads to a sunken freighter

I even placed the underwater breathing tube

[sly sedge]

Nice.

[devout echo]

phase 1 Milestone 2 "from the ashes"

[sly sedge]

The base computer has a button called Upload Base.

[white perch]

Reading is fundamental

[inland rain]

This planet is annoying with worms

[slate wadi]

Share how to access it

[white perch]

I mean look at the water

I can’t upload they said the base is too small… ^^’

lol made a little wall thing and now I can upload

[slate wadi]

Could you tell me how is this base named and in what galaxy is it located?

[sly sedge]

Yeah, you do need to add stuff to the base for it to be a base.

[white perch]

Euclid Galaxy - Ielinju system

On paradise planet Hawayne XI

[sly sedge]

Got a teleporter?

[white perch]

It was originally discovered by PainfulFranky

Nope 🙂‍↔️

I’ll drop one though

It’s not allowing me to build one, I don’t think they got them in this expedition unless I gotta discover it in the anomaly under this save, but the base is there

[slate wadi]

Share base name then, it will be easier to find it

[white perch]

Sunken Wonderland

[slate wadi]

Thanks

[white perch]

I’ll create a teleporter and landing pad. Was kinda rushing this since I am going to be a bit busy tomorrow and next week

[sly sedge]

Someone put their base beside two Emeril deposits. Possibly not realizing that no one can mine them because of base permissions.

[devout echo]

dang claim jumpers

[white perch]

Awww they tried

Does the Freigther i claim in the expedition become mine in base game?

[magic elbow]

if i farm nanites to transfer my main-save ship into the expedition, do i also have to transfer it back when i finish?

[white perch]

If I recall with the last one it transfers automatically

[magic elbow]

second question, can i sell tech on the anomaly? cuz i haven't found any functioning space stations yet

[white perch]

I just finished 🙂 I am happy

That was stressful - I hate worms

[magic elbow]

well shit

is there at least any functioning space stations in adrift?

[white perch]

I got the Iron Vulture looks like hot garbage imo 😂

[devout echo]

Keep it in your inventory when you cash out of the expedition it will be converted into something useful either units or nanites.

[radiant geode]

central theme is that you're alone in the universe.

[white perch]

I gotta change the colors to this

[magic elbow]

sure, point was avoiding farming a few thousand nanites to get my main-save ship and multi-tool transfered over quicker, but ig i'll keep mining mold for a while

so glad ppl make bases at literally any point of interest imaginable, especially mold and egg farms

[white perch]

🙂

[magic elbow]

just gonna keep warping back n forth between a mold farm and the R1 station for the next hour or smthng lol

i should check how much i need cuz i don't wanna waste time overshooting my goal

oh cool there was an expedition quest for getting a bunch of nanites, nice lol

[dusky oracle]

what planet has robot animal?

[magic elbow]

mmmmmokay... i need 4k... shouldn't be too bad i already have about 2500

[radiant geode]

ones around blue stars (indium drive) that are dissonant

others can be found.

just passed a system called ROBOT HORSES that was green star.

[compact fractal]

How do i get larvae core?

[radiant geode]

you have to shoot the little purple eggs with your mining laser and then VERY QUICKLY pick up the glowing yellow with black spikes laval core. sometimes it rolls into the nest mesh but jsut hold the button for pickup and you'll get it.

this will spawn horror monsters. I usually do one or two eggs then move around the building to the next nest, and continue that until I have them all. this usually keeps the bugs from jumping on me and killing me. 🙂

[devout echo]

Find an abandoned building ... shoot the whispering eggs, pickup the larval cores, avoid and or shoot the horrors.

[compact fractal]

Thank you

[fiery cairn]

Anyone know what expeditions are being re-run this year?

[devout echo]

https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/11/holiday-2024-expeditions/

Adrift is currently active.

[magic elbow]

wooh 5 more minutes of refining mold and ill finally have my ship n multitool transfered

[radiant geode]

cool moment

[gleaming mortar]

Guys i cant find copper on the first planet.. I've even switched off multiplayer

Nevermind finally found one not mined

[open jackal]

to be clear, cannot access quicksilver shop in this expedition?

[misty plinth]

This is correct - no NPCs including QS vendor in this expedition

[exotic fog]

how do we install the slots if there are no NPCs to talk to? for multi tool and suit

[open jackal]

easiest way to find an underwater freighter?

[misty plinth]

Nautilon with sonar

[open jackal]

also whispering eggsd

[misty plinth]

@open jackal All the buildings are abandoned so ...

[exotic fog]

is there any way to sell technologey for nanites in the expidition?

[open jackal]

oh fair

[misty plinth]

@exotic fog Terminals are still there to accept data and nanites but no vendors

[exotic fog]

yeah but i cant make nanites from seeling upgrade i got sadly

[misty plinth]

@Scanning (especially fauna) will net you nanites unless you get lucky and find curious deposits. Plenty of horror items to refine too if that suits you better. Don't forget radiant shards etc.

[exotic fog]

Horro items like the eggs around the buildings?

[misty plinth]

@exotic fog Larval Cores - Hadal Cores - Fleshy Ropes

[rapid wasp]

I didn't realize how lonely the expedition would be without NPCs — like I just had a sentinel ship flag me down in pulse and I was so happy there was life...then it crashed

Also, omg it's soooooo far to Rendevous 3

[rotund flare]

Question for folks who've used the feature to allow running expeditions from an existing save: When you revert back at the end of the expedition, do any expedition-specific recipes carry over or do you "forget" them?

[misty plinth]

Consider Interceptor hunting early on since they warp further than the shuttle.

[rapid wasp]

Yeah, I got the one that crashed. It's still taking forever

[misty plinth]

You forget everything new you learn in the expedition and drop back to your primary save with the knowledge you had when you entered it.

[acoustic jacinth]

I did it! I completed the Expedition!

[rapid wasp]

I only have to hit the rendevous points (3 on) and do 3 more quests...but darned if I can't find a blue star with robots

[rotund flare]

Womp-womp. Guess I'll be making a backup before I run this one and save editing again afterward anyway to keep my universal traveler thing going.

[exotic fog]

wait so i scrwed my self by only using one save?

Do i not get back what i lost when i started the exp?

[sand marlin]

not sure why you would need to save edit? I guess not having your ship is annoying, but if you transfer a carrier fragment you can pick up an interceptor

[rotund flare]

No, you should be able to move over stuff you've gotten at the end of this and it'll merge in to what you had before. I just wasn't sure if that applied to techs learned too.

[acoustic jacinth]

I wanna ask. Is this how you get the Iron Vulture Components:

1. Copy the ship, not collect from Quicksilver Rewards
2. Salvage component at Space Station
3. Copy again, if possible
4. Repeat

Is this how you do it?

[wraith junco]

Collect ship
Jump to main save
Copy ship
Scrap
Copy again

[sand marlin]

If you start the expedition via console, at the end of the expedition you can put back in any items you want to transfer, even items you didn't have

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.

[rotund flare]

@sand marlin I save edit to "merge" my expedition save with the single save that I've had for a long time. I've got a Golden Vector that acts like a museum ship for all the one-off items, rare materials, etc. I've collected. This includes techs learned. With the new system allowing you to run expeditions from the main save, I thought maybe I would no longer need to do that, but it sounds like I'll still have to note the techs and do that manually.

[misty plinth]

What do you lose when you start the expedition? The expedition is like a pause on the main save - wipes your memory and puts you into the expedition fresh - at the end of the expedition you pick up where you left off.

It's just items that change.

[rotund flare]

It's not that I save edit to bring things into an expedition, I save edit to take the expedition out to my main save at the end.

[sand marlin]

it does sort of reset your character, but you get everything back at the end of the expedition. The only things you "lose" are the items you transfer into the expedition if you don't transfer them back out at the end

[rotund flare]

Yeah but it sounds like any techs you learn that are expedition specific get "forgotten".

[sand marlin]

that is true

[rotund flare]

So I'll still have to edit those. Still, less work than I was doing.

[sand marlin]

it's a fresh character, with default slots and tech

[rotund flare]

Yeah, I'm used to that. It's just pretty common that expedition-specific techs come up. Like the one that just finished had all the memories.

[sand marlin]

I mean, the expedition is like 4-8 hours. I wouldn't be that worried about it

[rotund flare]

Oh, I'm not worried about the expedition being any different. Just how much effort it is to merge the expedition stuff back into my "real" save.

[sand marlin]

Though, big thanks to all the people who make farms every time

[open jackal]

is there a planet along the main track that has super tall mountains?

[rotund flare]

Yeah, those folks are lifesavers, though I imagine a few are basically blapping in template bases they've made.

[sand marlin]

I think rendezvous 3 had tall mountains in that system. I found some on a planet with horrible storms

[open jackal]

ty

[rotund flare]

On that note, is this expedition still hanging around the same time to complete as the others have, or does the isolated aspect bump that up some?

See Pins in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam

[rotund flare]

Nah, I'm talking the time it takes to complete it, not the end time.

[wraith junco]

6h

Can do faster

[rotund flare]

Cool. Got some time to blaze my way across the galaxy before starting then.

[sand marlin]

It depends on if you are just zooming to objectives or if you take time and build things

I would say about 6h is a good benchmark

[rotund flare]

Just looking for how long I could delay starting without risking not finishing before it expires.

[wraith junco]

Yeah . 6h without sidetracking

[sand marlin]

the lack of npcs is kind of annoying though, I'd say get out asap

[rotund flare]

I probably won't dither. I'm betting it feels very, very empty. Betting it'll remind me of the game at launch.

[wraith junco]

Beter start and finish early than risking not finishing

[rotund flare]

Yeah, the delay is just a side-effect of my self-imposed rules. Got to do some cleanup on my main save and leave a trail of bases at all the waypoints from the last expedition, which will mean trucking my freighter a good long ways.

[viscid sparrow]

Hey guys how is Adrift expedition in terms of combat ? Similar to The Cursed ?

[sand marlin]

I do want to prep a little better for the next one. Does the rep vendor give exosuit slots or only cargo/multitool/ship?

There is some forced combat, but it's light. There are a lot of worm spawns and there is an objective to get larval cores.

[viscid sparrow]

I see, so more about avoiding then

[sage ether]

how does one actually get there? i cant seem to find a way to search it or set it as a waypoint

[misty plinth]

@sage ether In discoveries - stellar class : blue - Syn Life on Planet nm (that IS the system name) as an alternative option.

[sage ether]

doesnt exist for me

since it only displays visited systems

[misty plinth]

@sage ether Select the milestone while in space then open up the galactic map - you might get lucky and there may be a system tagged for you.

If there isn't maybe put a pin in that milestone and continue with the rendezvous systems and maybe one will be revealed on the way.

[sage ether]

i hope im on the last rendevouz task

[open jackal]

what all counts as "charting waypoints"?

[wraith junco]

Clicking on save pole at poi

[open jackal]

Danke

[wraith junco]

Go to discoveries. Find rdv3. Mark system. Go to location.

[sage ether]

not there

theres only 20 systems

[valid magnet]

I have unfinished Adrift expedition (the save is still in expedition)
Can I continue it in this redux?

Also, can I finish the expedition on multiple saves?

[misty plinth]

Pretty sure as soon as you access the save for the unfinished expedition it will convert to a normal save. You can then start over with that save if you wish.

[misty plinth]

Yes you can run it on multiple saves.
