nms-expedition

[valid magnet]

Yeah, it just did it, even though it is the same expedition

[magic elbow]

so uhhh.. game crashed, and now i'm sorta softlocked? not quite, it's just that my entire screen is uhh... basically just white, menus and stuff like analysis visor n stuff still work and change stuff on screen, but the main gameplay stuff is just like.. if you turned bloom up to 10000000000%...

tried reloading autosave and restore point neither did anything

if i return to my primary savefrom the menu to try n fix this, do i get to resume the expedition?

[valid magnet]

Try to reboot your PC? Not sure it is not related to graphical drivers

[sage ether]

how does one search a derilict freighter when it kills you in 5 seconds

[magic elbow]

very possible, been having some issues w/ this game and graphics, especially relating to HDR and DLSS, which sounds like the most likely culprit here, so imma give that a try rq

[valid magnet]

1. Heaters
2. Suit tech for thermal protection

You can see cheaters with visor, the flame marker

[magic elbow]

ppl find derelicts hard?

[sage ether]

the one i found has lethal radiation

i set 1 foot inside and my protection is gone in 2 seconds

[magic elbow]

fun

get high-class rad-prot tech

[sage ether]

i spammed 1200 sodium to search the first room

[valid magnet]

You need to use the scanner.
BUT you can see derelicts spawned by other players in multiplayer

[magic elbow]

no no no, ik how to find derelicts, i was just surprised that people thought clearing them was difficult

[valid magnet]

Oh last day of Omega Redux, I seen something like 7 derelicts spawned by players near station on rendezvous point 1 😄

ANd yes, I was able to land on one of them 😄

[magic elbow]

nice lmao

[valid magnet]

Not actually? I think different versions of it require different loadout

[iron tendon]

I think the systems are different from OG adrift. I remember there was a planet callee lapezuk or something in OG adrift

[valid magnet]

Maybe they are different for everyone?

I was unable ti finish Adrift because it apparently bugged out on me

[sage ether]

so the security bots just infinitly spawn thats awesome

[valid magnet]

In quest for Atlantidium it lead me to the system without dissonant planet

And I just returned to the game adter something like 4 years pause, so, I was unaware what exactly I should look for

For ones who know...

[slate wadi]

I need to find sunken freighter. Does it appear on all planets or just on specific ones

[remote thunder]

planets with water in gek/korvax/vykeen systems

complete phase 4 milestone 1

use nautilon+nautilon high powered sonar quick menu to directly mark a sunken freighter

[slate wadi]

I did that but I cannot find it with sonar

[remote thunder]

what's the error you get

[slate wadi]

Couldn’t find nearby building

Nvm, I found bigger ocean and I was able to find it

[ashen shore]

Oh the wreck? I still can't find it

[remote thunder]

yeah, when this happens just move locations on the same planet

[remote thunder]

make sure that you're in a gek/korvax/vykeen system (check galaxy map/discoveries tab)

[ashen shore]

Copy that I'm going to a gek system

[slate wadi]

19 minutes of swimming

[remote thunder]

fly near the marker, land on the nearest island, there should always be one within like 1500u

[slate wadi]

When I finish this mission, will I need in future that submarine?

[remote thunder]

nope

[ashen shore]

Just bought 3 emergency scanners 🤣🤣

[shell ruin]

ngl, I'm enjoying this expedition quite a lot, my usual tactics aren't working 😄

[shell ruin]

look for dissonant system in the galaxy map, if you are in a dissonant system there will always be one planet or moon that's dissonant, rendez-vous 1 and 2 had them iirc

[remote thunder]

starter system has one

[safe brook]

Need a bit of help because it makes no sense to me. The current expedition requires me to repair the Launch thruster and install a persona refiner. Big issue is that BOTH require materials made by a refiner 😅 Any solution? Is it bugged or am I missing something? Do ping if you reply please as I can't keep an eye on the chat 🥹 thx 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕

Pardon, where's a good place to find infested planets? Do any star types "prefer" them or is it just random?

[safe brook]

thx ❤️

[valid magnet]

Well, it was in my previous attempt to do Adrift expedition. And I didn't known there the heck I can find Atlantidium, how it looks, what there it spawns. And what is the heck is "dissonant" system (i'm not sure it was even called this way in the quest description, and it made me to look for planets with "vile brood" descriptor instead)

Yeah, I obviously didn't found any Atlantidium 😄

[wraith junco]

Starter planet was one

[proper girder]

It's fine, I found another after a few jumps.

[ashen shore]

You mean with all the worms on them?

[remote thunder]

all rendezvous planets should be "hive planets"

iow have baby worms

[ashen shore]

Yeah and I think the first planet we had was a hive planet

[remote thunder]

yes

[dense wave]

FINALLY FOUND THOSE DAMN SYNTHETICS

[slender sinew]

Hey everyone I found an interceptor during the expedition and claimed it and now I want to scrap My current starter ship but no space stations seem to be working in this expedition

Do I just copy the ship or leave the current one on this planet

[stoic hollow]

guys, why is the boundary portal location occupied by a glitched derelict freighter?

[slender sinew]

And is there a limit to how many ships I can copy to main save

[snow ruin]

Just choose to use the new ship instead, don't think there's any way to scrap ships in the expedition since the station that would allow you to do it shouldn't be available in abandoned stations. You cannot copy more ships to your main save than you have slots for in the main save, which is a total of 12, but those are also filled up with the ships you have in your main save, so unless you scrap some ships in your main save the actual limit is lower.

[stoic hollow]

this freighter is screwing with the gravity around the portal, can we mass report this?

[slender sinew]

Got it
Thank You so much

[remote thunder]

save+reload to fix - disable multiplayer to avoid this when progressing

[stoic hollow]

ok

[proper girder]

(I'm pretty sure I clicked the add to account thing on the DLC page)

[blazing fossil]

It’s a Steam exclusive ship, has to be claimed on Steam (search ”Starborn Phoenix” on Steam) then claim in QS store

The link doesn’t work

AH ballsacks.

How are we meant to deal with that then?

Do like I said

Search for the ship on steam

[proper girder]

Or... click the page that's linked on Steam to the DLC page, go to that specific page, and click add to account?

Ahhh, there we go, clicking the add to account button from the news page wasn't behaving, had to go there directly.

tying exclusive things to those services you don't care to use is bad business.

I don't want to sit on a multiple hour twitch stream for example ...

It says nowhere that it is exclusive to steam, maybe other consoles will get it on later date? And they pushed it to today for TGA?

any uncharted system can have robot fauna

[remote thunder]

!faq-mechafauna

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **How to find Mechafauna?**

Mechafauna are an alien animal species in No Man's Sky. They can appear as mechanical, sentient quadrupeds (should not be confused with sentinel quads, or arachnids), or as walking buildings. They come with an assortment of ornamental parts. Quadrupeds » Walking buildings »

There are some very specific things to look for when trying to find the mechafauna:

• You must be in an Uncharted system (Red, Blue, Green stars, preferably in Red).
• After scanning the system either via Freighter or by landing on the planets:
• Either select the Exploration Guide in your logs to check how many fauna species are on that planet.
• Or look at the hint at the bottom right hand side of the screen after scanning anything on the planet while exploration guide is selected from the logs.
• Or look into the Discovery tab to find the total number of creatures.
  The planet must have 4 animal species.

📖 Did you know?

• Mechafauna can be tamed, ridden, the quadrupeds can be decorated on their chest.
• Creature Pellets can be used to tame them, but only with Automated Feeders. Direct interaction uses an Ion Battery, and they produce chewy wire instead of organic materials.
• They lay eggs that can be genetically modified in the Egg Sequencer. A list of items used to change the quadruped colors can be found here #nms-fauna message
• Walking buildings will spawn 5 alerted sentinels if destroyed, as well as drop a Mineral record that can be analyzed to reward you 30-100 nanites.

How are you guys speed running this in a few hours?

I’m still trying to find artificial life

[remote thunder]

search only uncharted systems (systems with no race icon on galaxy map), if you have the indium drive already the system the mission itself is leading you to should also be suitable

see this post on robo fauna spawn rules <#nms-expedition message>

[dapper pumice]

I’ve checked live 4-5 systems already

[dapper pumice]

Oh,thanks

[remote thunder]

@dapper pumice also see this pinned post <#nms-expedition message>

[remote thunder]

if you have the indium drive already the system the mission itself is leading you to should also be suitable
it wasn't?

[dapper pumice]

I landed there and it wasn’t

And when I landed in that system it told me to go somewhere else

[remote thunder]

did you check all planets to see how many fauna species each had?

even if the hint was saying there wasn't

we've seen that bug happen before

[dapper pumice]

Yeah

I don’t think any had 4

[white perch]

I finished in three days. It’s all about the knowledge and help from the community and learning from past expeditions. Pinning the goals are very effective because the game legit tells you what to do and gives you rewards that help you go to your next task. I tend to use YouTube’s for assistance or the nms wikis.

[dapper pumice]

Nice

It says synthetic life forms detected in this system, let’s go

[dense wave]

ah lol

so close but so far then

Im not sure which it is as Ive completed and cant check

[wintry void]

but I was doing same till i realised

[dusky oracle]

Thanks!

[radiant geode]

ooooo kay.....

anyhoo, I am today expedition hours old when I figured out I should have been spending money on the suspicious tech in teh space station to make life easier. silly muppet.

similarily I am glad I piucked up 20 drop pod maps when I saw them for sale somewhere. so much inventory. lol

never quite sure what's safe to sell when it comes to expeditions

[feral scaffold]

Without any vendors is there any way to install exo suite expansions?

nah you just forgor

[teal jetty]

its not possible to scrap ships in the expedition right?

[frozen laurel]

Can freighters be purchased in the expedition?

[wraith junco]

No npc so no freighter encounters

U will get freighter for one of the tasks

[wary siren]

does the ability to craft hydrothermal fuel cells come from a milestone? if so anyone know which one

i cant see it in any descriptions

[remote thunder]

phase 4 milestone 1 iirc - that said, don't really need to drive nautilon - you'll mostly just need it for high powered sonar

[feral scaffold]

Damn I wish I'd have brought a stack of gold

[wary siren]

ya the problem is the wreck i need to get to is in the middle of the ocean

so ill just swim away i suppose

[snow ruin]

That's why I'll copy over my spaceship with water landing thingymabob

[visual arch]

Found a derelict freighter sitting right over an ancient ruins in the second system. When I try to land at the ruins, it thinks I'm in the freighter, can't use my jetpack, and movement is all screwy. Is this a bug? Any way to fix it?

[remote thunder]

save+reload

this happened because someone spawned a derelict freighter mission too close to a planet

disable multiplayer if you dont want to have to deal with these distractions

[visual arch]

Thank you

[river star]

silly question: how can i copy my main save multi-tool and ship into the expedition if there are no NPCs within adrift? I can't sell technology packages for nanites. I have seen people in videos with their multi-tool and ship within the expedition though

[blissful onyx]

Fish and release can work

100-200 per fish
rarer ones probably give more

it goes by a lot faster than it sounds

[quaint urchin]

Also, many things refine into Nanites (Hadal Cores, Larval Cores, Salvaged Data, etc...)

[quaint urchin]

In case it helps: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Nanite_Cluster#Source

[remote thunder]

even zoology

[blissful onyx]

yea that's a good way too

and your getting a bonus from animals scanned during expedition when you finish it

[thick tundra]

My way was to get a good amount of whatever you can grind easily: hypnotic eyes, larval core, hadal core, flesh rope and take it worh you to expedition and refine for nanites

Probably the easiest way I can think of

[blissful onyx]

definitely a good way

[thick tundra]

I had found a planet which had a fuck ton of the three monster guys and used to kill them routinely to get the flesh ropes

[remote thunder]

there will be infested planets all over in exp13 as well, so even if one didn't bring any, fleshy rope/vile spawn will be easy to gather 🙂

radiant shards, inverted mirrors, etc

[river star]

@blissful onyx @quaint urchin i had no idea about throwing certain items into refiner or fishing can give nanites. thanks for the information

[blissful onyx]

Your welcome

Releasing the fish after being caught is what gives the nanites

[thick tundra]

I find the fishing logic really funny, its as if god (atlas) is like you did good buddy, here take some worthless currency that is complete fake in this simulation and you will never acieve anything in your life so be happy about the small things

[blissful onyx]

my favorite part is you can eject the fish out of the airlock and get rewarded nanites for it

technically space is an ocean

but instead of water it's a void

[remote thunder]

void... mother?

[radiant geode]

cool.

some dude at R5 poiny

Thanks. I hadn't installed the A class hyperdrive upgrade either, so it was slow going for a while. All better now.

The idea of Adrift expedition could be a great horror book potential

[fair isle]

I may be dense, but I am still stuck looking for copper for my advanced mining laser in Phase 1. I found only one copper deposit so far and it yielded 6 copper units. No other copper units are visible through my visor and I ventured a long ways from my busted ship. Anyone got any ideas?

[near crane]

Ur misslse give copper when u dismantle them

[fair isle]

No missles at the moment

[wraith junco]

Ping scan with mt and Check in mt visor for rombus icons

[fringe sierra]

Ok so I've finished the exp.

Is there ANY use to the "empty" planetary charts.

I'm assuming no

[wraith junco]

No but u can take it to main save. Its exp unique item

[fringe sierra]

Yea I figured I'd take one but I'm buying a whole bunch of crap like the derelict scanners cause there cheaper so I figured I'd buy those if there was a use besides

"Oo look an inv slot wasted"

Also same thing for the mind ark?

Or should I make a but load of those ???

[wraith junco]

If u want. mind ark is living ship quest item . But it has difrent recipe than in exp

[fringe sierra]

I've already completed living ship

[wraith junco]

Take few and compare item descriptions

[fringe sierra]

Bet

[fair isle]

Nothing in the visor for Copper. Just a ton of sodium.

I am trying to find a airless world 😭

[finite scaffold]

Look for a planet/moon with rusted metal, good indication its airless

However if you're looking for larval cores you dont need an airless planet, just go to an egg at an abandoned buildings

[near crane]

@finite scaffold ok will try

[finite scaffold]

The eggs at abandoned buildings, which can be found on most planets, when attacked drop the larval cores

[near crane]

@finite scaffold I need to jetpack to 1400 in the air

[finite scaffold]

For the exped?

[near crane]

@finite scaffold yup

[finite scaffold]

Nah, you gotta find a mountain thats 1400 units up

Not jetpack

Rendezvous two planet has mountains that tall

[near crane]

Ok thx

In the system that has rendez 2 what planet is the mountains on

[vagrant bronze]

Trying to finish phase 2 amidst the stars and the game has spawned a derelict freighter above it so I can’t physically move through the portal. Is there a way to reset the freighter spawn?

[gilded orchid]

Check each planet… the one with tall mountains will be obvious before you even land

[opal glade]

RND 2 the planet that it's on and the location it points you to has really tall mountains around

its one of those

[near crane]

@gilded orchid ok thx

So check each planet before landing

[finite scaffold]

Its the actual RZ planet though

[gilded orchid]

The mountains are insane

[near crane]

@gilded orchid I should hope so lol

[opal glade]

its actually difficult to find the RND if the storm is going on

[finite scaffold]

The real fun begins if you try to find the synthetic fauna without using someone elses information

[opal glade]

cuz you can't see anything

[gilded orchid]

That’s part of the fun

[finite scaffold]

I found and marked the system I found my synth fauna on, without help

[near crane]

Let me guess the planet is a charred mess

[opal glade]

what do you mean? mecha fauna don't only live on metal planets and stuff

actually a lot of them live on paradise planets and stuff

[finite scaffold]

Not mecha, synthetic

You can find mecha ones on like metallurgy planets and they dont count as synthetic

I found that out the hard way a couple days ago

[opal glade]

are you calling this synth and not mecha?

https://www.iskmogul.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Synthetic-NMS-1140x675.jpg

I call that mecha fauna

[finite scaffold]

I dont call them anything, I scanned stuff like that and it didn't count for the milestone 🤷‍♂️

I dont know how to classify most of these fauna, I dont collect

[near crane]

I have found the planet I am calling holy mountain batman lol

[opal glade]

it's probably already in the discovery network

[finite scaffold]

I think its just a difference in classification within the game

Regardless, if you search around you may see a planet in your area that mentions syn life in the planet name from the galaxy map. That's what I did

Maybe it helped someone out

[ebon belfry]

I have encountered a bug(?) when exploring a derelict freighter
It isn't the first time this happens, but at some point my character would become invisible and (sometimes) multi-tool is the only thing that's visible. In this state shooting would make the whole freighter invisible for a moment
What should I do in such situation?

[finite scaffold]

I like to change the camera viewpoint when that happened

To single player

It used to, not sure if it still does, crash the game during freighters when that happened

[remote thunder]

Mp on? Did you spawn the derelict freighter yourself?

[finite scaffold]

I want to say it was fixed though

[ebon belfry]

I used the emergency scanner to find one, given from one mission as reward

[finite scaffold]

For whatever reason the game has clipping problems with 3rd person view sometimes in derelict freighters

[near crane]

I am in a hole I make to wait out the firestorm

[ebon belfry]

I remember if I would somehow fully explore the freighter and try to bring the logs to space station (in normal game), the guild guy would become invisible and game would crash

[remote thunder]

and was multiplayer on in network settings? did you spawn it too close to a planet?

[ebon belfry]

I have multiplayer on, yes

[finite scaffold]

Is that what causes the clipping? Being to close to a planet?

[remote thunder]

did you spawn it too close to a planet?

[finite scaffold]

That seems like weird circumstances

[remote thunder]

the going invisible, perhaps

it happens with sentinel freighter

[finite scaffold]

I park my freighter usually near the SS and I have clipping issues in that all the time

[remote thunder]

though i've never encountered this issue and i've been playing on pc since before even desolation update

[remote thunder]

our own freighter seems to be mostly fine ime when summoned from planet and then visited, but yeah, there's all kinds of weird quirks sometimes that could be causing somethings to mildly clash

[finite scaffold]

Probably has to do with driver interactions then? I dont know why clipping issues in freighters would differentiate based on hardware, but stranger things have happened. I just know 3rd person in a freighter I just dont do anymore because it used to crash alllll the time

[remote thunder]

i always play 1st person fwiw

[ebon belfry]

I play in third person

[finite scaffold]

Thats why you've never had the issue then, its specific to 3rd person in derelicts

Never had the issue once in 1st person

I had to google it and read it in a reddit article

Apparently its fairly well known, or was

[ebon belfry]

I thought I was the only one to whom this happens

[blissful onyx]

the game hates you specicially

specifically

[ebon belfry]

man

[blissful onyx]

[finite scaffold]

Sometimes eventhough this is ridiculous it hits the feels

[blissful onyx]

truly one of the moments ever

[ebon belfry]

[near crane]

And done sheesh this mountain is tall

[gilded orchid]

Told you

[near crane]

@gilded orchid yup u did

[ebon belfry]

What should I do with the log and manifest while on the expedition?

[near crane]

Ok time to be a scanner man 😂

Everything must be scanned

[blissful onyx]

scan the scanners

[blissful onyx]

Derelict freighter?

Sell it to scrap dealers for tainted metal or the other guys for units

[ebon belfry]

That's the plan, but all space stations are abandoned here

Do I keep it until the end and then send it to main save?

[finite scaffold]

I just discarded mine

[ebon belfry]

Ah

[finite scaffold]

Do you need tainted metal or nanites real bad?

[ebon belfry]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not sure

[blissful onyx]

you can just take it to main save then yea

[ebon belfry]

Okay

[blissful onyx]

Refine the tainted metal for nanites I think

[finite scaffold]

If you have the room to transfer them, might as well

If I want to farm nanites I find using the black market dealer in outlaw stations is best, much less hassle than refining stuff

For whatever reason I cant stand having to refine stuff in this game

[ebon belfry]

I guess that's understandable

[finite scaffold]

Like runaway mould? No thanks, rather just unpackage some X mods and sell for nanites

[blissful onyx]

Sadly we can't do anything but refine in this expedition

Or fish

Or scan

[jagged sedge]

Grind up some radiant shards for nanites

[near crane]

Now I got to find me bones

[blissful onyx]

who took your bones

I read that in a pirate accent

"I got to find me bones, yarr"

[near crane]

I have idea but I must find me bone matey

[ebon belfry]

Create the skeleton army

[finite scaffold]

Tailbone is technically booty

[near crane]

Yes I must get me bones back

And piss off the robo overlords to 😂

[blissful onyx]

track them down
good luck cap'n

[near crane]

@blissful onyx thx lol

[blissful onyx]

yes

[finite scaffold]

I think that kinda depends on the range of your warp

[teal jetty]

on defult range probably

[ebon belfry]

I'm thinking 4-5?

[finite scaffold]

I had a hard time even finding the rz 3 system from the galaxy map because the lines that went to it became too translucent

[remote thunder]

check this pinned post with rdv system names, it might help pin them down sometimes <#nms-expedition message>

[keen obsidian]

Anyone know where the amidst the stars portal is? I had to leave the system after a derelict freighter spawned above the portal. Jumped around a few times and can't remember where it is 🤦

[remote thunder]

i don't know if that's going to be in the same system for everyone - if you goto space, and open galaxy map after having selected that milestone in the expedition tab, do you have a "Current Mission" destination available top center? if yes, try teleporting to rendezvous 1 system from a space station teleporter

[near crane]

I have me bones pp lol

[ebon belfry]

[near crane]

Now to fix a crashed starship

Damn storm 😔

[keen obsidian]

It won't let me select current mission. I think I'm fricked. Couldn't get anywhere near the portal cause of the freighter.

[remote thunder]

did you visit its station? of the system i mean?

[keen obsidian]

I can't remember 😆 I was avoiding them as they are all empty

[remote thunder]

well you could try to teleport back to each one in turn, starting from the top, and in each system see if you can find the marker again/open galaxy map too, in case there's a system with the icon. do you remember how the planet was at least? what resources did it have? what kind of hazard weather did it have?

[keen obsidian]

Pretty pame weather, yellow atmosphere with hugh temp storms. I'm sickened tbh 😆🤦

[remote thunder]

heat storms so that means not toxic, not frozen, not dead, not weird, not irradiated

have you been visiting planets in all systems you've been going through?

[keen obsidian]

Yeah I have been but no luck yet. Gonna head into the anomaly and check the teleporter.

[remote thunder]

you could try.. after ensuring you can get back to expedition route systems..

[unkempt kraken]

@keen obsidian
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Restart (mission) Using Nearby Structures

Requirement: playing solo; if you were playing with friends recently, save+reload from main menu after disabling multiplayer.

When the player current position is 4000 Light Years away from current mission location or more, a button appears in the Log tab that allows to restart the last mission stage. Most commonly used ways to trigger it:

• Space Anomaly Teleporter (teleport to a Featured base, check Log tab; retry with different base if needed);
• Warping (e.g. 4 1000LY distance warps in the same direction, but contrary to Current Mission destination in galaxy map);

After getting far away enough, be sure to give the game a few seconds to recalculate distances, then check Log tab.

Ah nice one 👍 I never heard of that before

[ebon belfry]

What can "Writhing Manuscript" Be used for?

[keen bloom]

reading

[ebon belfry]

Makes sense

[fringe sierra]

Lmao

[blissful onyx]

It's like a manuscript
but writhing

[stray needle]

Can I do dreams of the depth for anything?

[remote thunder]

dreams of the deep is a secondary quest that has no need to be completed in expedition - but it does reward stuff - like lost bathysphere alt helmet. if you want the helmet, could just do the quest some other day in your other save, and focus on completing expedition, if you havent already

[sleek spade]

I copied my ship over and the name changed is it a random name or the original name of my ship?

[wet quest]

Mine did this too!

[sleek spade]

Original name of random name do you know?

[remote thunder]

i'm confused

[wet quest]

It's a random name, because I'd never changed the name originally

I'm flying the Star Runner or whatever it was called from the last expedition. Now it's Bashino's Lost Work

[sleek spade]

Ok

[remote thunder]

that's the name it gets when copied - doesn't really matter, just edit name back

[sleek spade]

Is there a way to see the original name of my ship? Is it still on save editor

[wet quest]

oh I'm not sad about it, I just thought it was odd

[remote thunder]

probably not - check old screenshots maybe

[remote thunder]

some weird voodoo the game does i guess

[sleek spade]

I kinda wish I knew what system and name by ship was from originally but it's also cool that idk where I got it

[wet quest]

I often find the names given to the ships and weapons entertaining, so I don't change them usually.

[remote thunder]

same

i only really rename 1 of my ships

my explorer - i have a habit of swapping whenever i feel like its time to retire the previous model

but they're all named one after the other

[sleek spade]

How do I find a crashed ship with no npcs

I went to a site and it was empty

[remote thunder]

The Bold Navigator -> The Bold Navigator II -> The Bold Navigator III atm

[wet quest]

I like it.

[remote thunder]

be sure to be in a system with a space station, gek, korvax, vykeen

[night robin]

I'm confused why fragmented qualia and an empty planetary chart are rewards for completing phase 5. By this point, we don't need more money (which is what the chart could be used for,) and the living ship questline is impossible with the universe in this condition. Am I missing something?

[remote thunder]

devs sometimes do things like this

no real reason

for flavor, you could say

[dapper pumice]

I’m halfway done with phase 4

[near crane]

On phase 3 for me I think 🤔

My bad almost done with phase 3 😂

My new pet

[dapper pumice]

How long does the emergency signal scanner need me to be in pulse drive for

I wasted an entire thing of pause drive on it

[near crane]

Until it finds what it is looking for

[dapper pumice]

🤯

Oh wait I found it

[near crane]

Lol 😂

[dapper pumice]

It took 142% of my pulse drive

Crazy

[near crane]

Yup welcome to no man's sky logic

[dapper pumice]

💀

[near crane]

😂

[jagged sedge]

Welp, I just finished the expedition with about 20 hours of play time ... and just discovered my main base is now in a pirate controlled system 🙂

[near crane]

Lol yeah that happens

[jagged sedge]

At least I can see the prices in the trade terminal now, lol

[near crane]

Yup 👍

[jagged sedge]

It also explains why I found a crashed solar ship here too

[dapper pumice]

Did I need worm skin foleo? I got rid of it by accident

[near crane]

Sweet repair that ship

[jagged sedge]

I did, and used it for the second half - saved quite a bit of launch fuel too

[near crane]

@jagged sedge u got lucking

[jagged sedge]

Not really, I just found a red star system that was evacuated

For whatever reason, the launch auto-charger wasn't included in this expo, so, --

solar time, baby!

Anyway, I'm headed back to main channel, good luck to you all

[near crane]

Yup true that

Nanite farming time

[craggy arch]

I bought a bunch of contraband tech and contraband arms from the trade terminal on the space station, and got some very useful things from those (as well as memory fragments). I'm pretty sure I got an auto-charger from one of those.

I did get some cold protection tech which came in handy for the derelict freighter part.

[balmy aspen]

Derelict freighters are tedious, but you do get some useful stuff on occasion

[craggy arch]

That they are, and absolutely. I'm just glad I got one with just jellyfish

[balmy aspen]

For those who have finished Adrift, what is the story? ||Why were the stations, settlements, trade hubs, and anomaly all abandoned and infested?|| I don't recall the game explaining this

[balmy aspen]

Mine was with jellyfish as well, which was okay, but kinda missed farming all the slime from the bug infested version

[craggy arch]

Ah, legit 🙂

[wet quest]

the jellyfish blow up in a satisfactory manner when taken care of with a scatter blaster 🤩

[craggy arch]

That they do!

[wary siren]

Is there anything interesting or specific to keep when the expedition is over

[tight skiff]

Mm... I'm stuck in the synth life mission. I'm in the system where I should be. It says there is synth life around. There is a metallic planet. I scanned the only life there and it wasn't synth? I visited every planet on the system and it says "no synth life on the planet". If I go to galaxy map to find another planet in "current mission" I find none.

In fact, no route is shown to another system

[finite scaffold]

[wary siren]

Also I got some salvaged scrap from the freighter…is that just junk to sell?

[finite scaffold]

Want me to forward the post for you?

Theres a link to it on the second pinned message

[tight skiff]

No, thanks, you are right, I didn't check the pins. I found it already

Thanks!

[finite scaffold]

It was just the theme of the expedition, an empty universe. The release said "Going further back I have great memories of early unreleased versions of No Man’s Sky where there were no NPCs, no shops, no help… just you the player as a tiny dot lost in the infinite."

I think this is what inspired it

[balmy aspen]

Ah cool 🙂 It was a bit challenging not having most things at the station

[dapper pumice]

How do I get security credentials?

[remote thunder]

read log snippets till you get them

[dapper pumice]

Oh thank you

[remote thunder]

sorry for the late reply

[dapper pumice]

It was two minutes???

My friends take hours to respond to a call 😭

[remote thunder]

rendezvous 3 system is a bit further aways, about 1000LY: be sure to have expedition route destination selected, and just at the last system if you look closely - you'll see rdv3 in the distance

just in case someone tries to search or something, it's late and i'm going to bed

but saw some members having trouble with this earlier

it's not an easy one to find in one warp, for anyone who's not really used to pinpointing systems in the galaxy map

took me 4-5s to find it - and i'm well, very used to galaxy map'ing

"i felt that" slow down lol

anyways, have fun all 🙂 safe travels

[wary siren]

I just finished the expedition and it had me claim the iron vulture, but my old ship had tons of stuff in the cargo…but it didn’t transfer to the iron vulture?

Did I lose it all

[craggy arch]

No. You can switch your docked ship

Were you on a fresh save for the expedition? Or on another? You'll want to switch to your old ship and get your inventory transferred before you ended the expedition if it's on a previous save

[wary siren]

Ya I only have one save

How do I switch to my old ship

While in the anomaly of that matters

[craggy arch]

Open the menu (x, I think, not sure on controllers), then look for "Change docked ship"

[wary siren]

Awesome

That worked

And do I copy the ship ? Or buy the iron vulture with quicksilver

[craggy arch]

Yay!
If you have tech you want to save I'd copy it with the tech installed. Otherwise it's pretty much the same to get it from the quicksilver vendor

You pay nanites to get it rather than QS

[finite scaffold]

When the expedition ends it will sell everything you didn't transfer over before selecting to end the exped

I decided not to claim my iron vulture but to make it my main ship before ending exped so I could copy it for nanites and scrap it for parts so I can make a new iron vulture with custom colors

[wary siren]

What does it mean to copy a ship

[craggy arch]

If you run the expedition on a main save vs starting new, you can copy (for nanites) your old ship (or multitool) to use in the expedition. You can also do it the other way... when you return to your main save you have the option to copy a ship you got in the expedition.

If it's a new save for the expedition you just keep everything

[wary siren]

So if you copy the ship that saves you from having to buy it with quicksilver?

[craggy arch]

You'll actually pay with nanites either way.

But.. let's say you got some tech updates to your expedition ship. You could move those to your vulture, then copy it.

[wary siren]

Ahhh so you’ll bring more back

[craggy arch]

In that case, it's worth copying.

Right. Because it will be installed in the ship vs needing to use tech storage slots

[wary siren]

Install on the vulture then I can repackage on the main save to my other ship if I want

Beauty

[craggy arch]

I'm not positive I followed that but I think so 😁

[wary siren]

Does one cost more than the other? Copy vs just buy from the agent after it’s over

[craggy arch]

I'm not sure, to be honest.

I don't think it's a huge difference if there is

[wary siren]

Great thanks for the info

[craggy arch]

Most welcome 🙂

[lofty zealot]

Why are there dierlict freighters on the planet surface

this is glitchy as heck

[craggy arch]

Derelict freighter vs crashed freighter on the surface?

Crashed are normally there

[lofty zealot]

definetly a Derelict freighter, its making gravity weird

[craggy arch]

Odd

[sullen fulcrum]

when I ran this expedition I found a few derelicts just above the surface. Even weirder, when i tried to go in they had crazy high radiation that made it impossible to even get through the first room

[lofty zealot]

okay I wasnt able to get a screenshot but reloading the game fixed it

it was if a player spawned their dierlict freighter directly on the planet

[craggy arch]

I believe I read a comment about activating the emergency beacon too close to the surface can cause it to do that

[lofty zealot]

nevermind its still here

well heres the thing

you cant interact with the rendevous point while its around

some joker is basically blocking progression

[sullen fulcrum]

I think I must have found derelicts from other players who did that. I eventually spawned one myself properly in space

[versed oriole]

I messed up and didnt get multiple copies of iron vulture. 😩

[near crane]

Phase 5 is done

[sullen fulcrum]

So I've found myself in kind of a unique position. The game's going to let me run this expedition again on the same save file I just finished it on. I don't know if it's really worth the trouble though, since the whole scenario of adrift makes it kind of hard to farm stuff.

[lofty zealot]

I just wanna finish the expidition I gotta go to work soon ;-; is anyone near rendevous 4?

Is it just me seeing this?

[near crane]

I am heading to rend 5

[lofty zealot]

okay I got it I had to spam getting in and out of my ship for it to work

[craggy arch]

Oof. Glad you got to it.

I didn't have any issues but I did R4 yesterday

[lofty zealot]

This isnt the first time I encountered it, I think the bit is that you spawn a freighter right on the objective and it makes gravity wonky

basically while you're within a certain distance of the freighter gravity points in the freighter's floor's direction

so what should be flat ground on the planet is like nearly vertical and your jetpack doesnt work

because it thinks you're on a freighter

[craggy arch]

UGH

[muted granite]

Turn off multiplayer doesn’t fix that? A hard unplug and then reload may…

[craggy arch]

[lofty zealot]

Turning off multiplayer probably would have worked I didnt know you could do that

but reloading didnt work at least not for me

[craggy arch]

I almost always have it off due to potential glitching, but also so I can raid resources at farms without ruining it for everyone else 😁

[lofty zealot]

I finished the expidition and found a guppy in the next space station I visited

It matches me too

[craggy arch]

It's a lemon drop! 💛

[muted granite]

Is nipnip needed for anything in this expedition?

[lofty zealot]

nah

the only thing thats useful to keep from a reward is faeceum if you havent done the cooking milestone yet

or maybe its mordite? I forget

you need to make yeast from it

[radiant geode]

There was a couple of tidbits about it. 'Secondary simulation initiated' and seeing fragments of other realities, but I don't think there was ever a 'I'm all alone in this universe because X happened'

[radiant geode]

CUTE!

[teal jetty]

is there a trick to finding tall mountains?
i found one and thought "surely this is tall enough"
nope, only halfway

[ruby sand]

Where do I find 20 PAV aggressive creatures?

[sly sedge]

Damnit. Could people stop summoning derelict freighters at essential sites?

[lime nimbus]

Why is this dadgum freighter stopping me from entering the boundary portal?

[lime nimbus]

I just turned off multiplayer and reloaded, and it went away

[teal jetty]

i can only seem to find mountains up to 700u high

thats only half

[misty plinth]

Looking at the RV2 planet location?

[teal jetty]

nope

[sly sedge]

Go to the anomaly, and search through the bases you can portal to. There are likely some bases labelled 1400u.

[teal jetty]

thanks

[sly sedge]

I still think someone should have named their base Snoop Dogg. You know, because it's "so high."

[teal jetty]

this base lied

it only goes to 1000u

why

[muted granite]

oh man, RZV2 world is NUTS

[quaint urchin]

Anyone else have the ship at RDV5 just fly away so they couldn't claim it?

[quaint urchin]

I think sometimes the whole base might not load in properly or something, but then there are griefers that like to make things hard on others too. Hard to tell... I found a good one on my second try though.

[snow ruin]

Turn off multiplayer

[muted granite]

I'm over a water planet... I have yet, after a few minutes of flying fast, to see a place I can land without aqua jets... what...

[quaint urchin]

Sometimes you have to pulse engine away from the planet a bit in order to see where land is. Then you can aim at the land areas and pulse back.

[muted granite]

did that, whew

Tips for finding mecha fauna?

[quaint urchin]

I set the mission as active and went into the Galaxy Map. A system over had it marked.

When you get there, open Discoveries Tab and check planets to see what's on them. If they've been discovered that is... If not you've got to take your best guess.

Oh yea, and check this post: #nms-expedition message

[muted granite]

found a system, nice

now just to track em down

got em

[wet quest]

baby robots 😍

[sly sedge]

Players could also stop sabotaging people by doing this.

[snow ruin]

Or it could not be people sabotaging, but things happening that way without them meaning. Hanlon's razor applies.
Take control of your own experience by turning off multiplayer when doing expeditions, since MP has been show to lead to a lot of problems with things not working as they should.

[sly sedge]

Whether through malicious intent or not, speaking up about it is the right choice.

And since someone else already told me that turning off multiplayer fixes this, there's no reason for you to repeat it.

[snow ruin]

Disabling multiplayer is the right choice. Nobody who did that is going to care

[sly sedge]

Right, you speak for all NMS players everywhere.

[snow ruin]

And not everybody has seen what everyone else told you before answering.

[sly sedge]

Considering that it was the next message, that would be quite the trick.

Now I'm tired of your trolling, so please leave me alone now.

[snow ruin]

That's a good one, because to me you're coming off as more trolling than me. But have fun, I guess XD
EDIT: and I fact checked your claim that it was the next message, and it was literally not XD. If you're going to try to make such a claim, at least check that it's right.
EDIT: Lol, blocking someone for trying to be helpful and not grovelling when they got testy and implied everyone else should go out of their way not to inconvenience them when their problems would be solved by their own actions.

[quasi prawn]

[sly sedge]

New Ship.

[quasi prawn]

is it only for steam?

[sly sedge]

It's a bit confusing, but I think some folks did say they were able to get it from the Anomaly from a PS game.

[river star]

I just claimed a whole lot of rewards from multiple phases while on my freighter; I only received blueprints and augmentations, but no actual items even though it showed multiple messages stating that I received those items. I think, that may have just bricked my expedition. Has anyone experienced this before? If so, can I receive those items somehow? I'm not sure if I can finish my expedition now.

[snow ruin]

Check through your different cargo places; exosuit, starship, freighter

[river star]

I have checked my exosuit, starship, frieghter, cargo 0 and 1. I'll try and check the other cargo numbers, but I haven't "unloaded" them yet.

[snow ruin]

Was your cargo space full?

[river star]

Either of them, both zero and one had many slots open. Same with my exosuit, ship, and freighter.

I tried restarting, but those rewards have already been claimed now.

[snow ruin]

There's a thing with clicking on an empty space or something like that to allow you to transfer stuff from a "hidden dimension" where some things can end up if they don't normally have space to go. Might be using x when hovering over an empty spot

Might be more help to get for such a thing in #nms-questions, otherwise the step would be to report it to Hello Games, I guess

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[river star]

I'll submit a bug report for this. I thik, you are correct. There are items are in the "hidden cargo/space/dimension." I can see items when hovering over an open slot and pressing X even though I have no idea where these items are. I'm not sure if they are all there, but I am hopeful. Good call on the hidden dimension tip. TY!

[sly sedge]

What's the deal with this Somnal Dust? The only thing I can find in the wiki is a flute from the 7th Expedition.

[muted granite]

Funny doing "A Still, Small Voice" on a planet with giant worms on it. "This moment is yours." EEEEUUUUUUUURRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[unkempt kraken]

@sly sedge

No gifs in this channel please

[sly sedge]

First time I landed on a planet with those things, I couldn't leave fast enough.

[sly sedge]

Total of 86 salvaged data from this expedition. Not a bad haul.

[quaint urchin]

In case anyone else has the Rendovous 5 Ship fly away on them, I managed to claim it in my game on PC (Steam). I disabled my Network adapter and reloaded the restore point. After doing that whoever was stealing the ship didn't take it. However, the first time I was too slow and the Interact button disappeared just as I reached the ship. Upon reloading my Restore point I ran to the ship and was able to claim it.

[slender sinew]

Just died and lost everything in my exosuit trying to reach the second rendezvous point

Died the first time due to rough terrains and died before reaching my grave marker the second time

[quaint urchin]

When you die it overwrites the Auto save. Just reload the Restore point and you should be good. It'll take you back to the last time you exited your ship.

Unless you got out of your ship again after you died...

[slender sinew]

Tried that it didn't work

Guess I won't be completing this expedition

Lost a lot of necessary items I kept

[quaint urchin]

I just tested this by starting a new Expedition and getting myself killed multiple times. Even after dying multiple times I was still able to reload the Restore Point from the last time I exited my ship, before I died, and I did not lose anything. You must have created a new Restore Point after dying. Should you choose to continue, just remember that Dying updates the Autosave only. Loading the most recent Restore point gets rid of the death and you do not lose anything. Only on Permadeath does your save get deleted when you die. Otherwise, just reload the Restore Point.

[sly sedge]

Wait, we were supposed to take that ship at the Rendezvous?

[quaint urchin]

You didn' need to. I just wanted it to scrap for resources when I complete the Expedition. This was from a New Save in my situation, so every little bit helps and I can scrap it once the Expedition is over for my save.

[sly sedge]

But all the stations are abandoned. How can we scrap a ship in this expedition?

[quaint urchin]

It's a new save, so once I complete the Expedition I can scrap that ship for Units in any normal space station.

[sly sedge]

Ohhh, ok. Got it.

If you start an expedition as a new save, it converts to a regular game afterwards.

[slender sinew]

@sly sedge seems I created a new then
That sucks

[teal jetty]

suggestions to finding robotic lifeforms? is there a rendezvou with them?

[river star]

Is there anyway to apply augmentation to your ship or multi-tool after claiming your reward?

[teal jetty]

is r3 super far away? i cant find it on the galaxy map

[dawn nimbus]

What’s the restored freighter reward about? Can I take that to my main save? :S C class lol

[indigo falcon]

there is not. one at a rendezvous system. try this: #nms-expedition message

[indigo falcon]

to my knowledge, there is not, in this expedition. but you can see if, when given a second reward of the same type, the game is smart enough to try to apply the modules you have in your inventory

[indigo falcon]

it is several jumps away if you do not have any hyperdrive upgrades installed. but it's not absurdly far.

[indigo falcon]

freighters do not carry over from the expedition to the main save.

[river star]

it will pick up the other augmentation if they are in your inventory, but sadly, i have already claimed the ship and multi-tool augmentations. thanks for the reply

[rose veldt]

Heh , in a gravity disruption storm , if you got a few jetpack upgrades ( didn't tried without ) , you can fly from 0 to 1400 ( for the milestone ) without any mountain or high ground 😄

[river star]

You should be able to redeem the cursed frigate reward after completing the adrift expedition. I'm "speaking" with the synthesis companion in the anomaly from my main save right now and i have the ability to redeem it.

[dawn nimbus]

Hmm I am not sure this is the cursed frigate though, it was from doing the derelict freighter… seems like a pretty normal freighter

[river star]

you will have to check at the NPC as i haven't redeemed it, but it does say "cursed frigate." i could be talking out of my ass here

Just to be clear: I'm referring to the frigate, the smaller ship that gets added to your fleet not the freighter. You are not about to bring your freighter over to your main save. @dawn nimbus

[sly sedge]

Got higher than Bob Marley?

[sly sedge]

Your reply from @indigo falcon was correct. You can't take freighters back to your main save from an expedition.

[rose veldt]

Than who? 😅

[dawn nimbus]

Bob Marley? You don’t know him? He shot the sheriff

[rose veldt]

Nope, not a clue who that person is

[sly sedge]

But he didn't shoot the deputy.

[sly sedge]

He's one of the most famous musicians in history.

[dawn nimbus]

He was a reggae legend

[opal glade]

i still don't know what the point of them giving us a freighter as one of the milestones if we weren't even going to use it

i guess its so we can see the frigate

maybe

[sly sedge]

It would have made more sense if it were earlier in the expedition, but having it so close to the end makes it a lot less useful to me.

[blazing fossil]

It’s so you can claim the frig yes

[opal glade]

yeah like the hyperdrive is already better than whatever we can get the freighter to so we might as well just stick with that

the frigate is cool though

[sly sedge]

The new ship looks cool too, but I don't know when I'd use a hauler.

[gleaming mortar]

where can i sell unwanted upgrades for nanites?

[solemn bane]

On a space station after you complete the expedition

[ashen shore]

I’m stuck on the dang get to a underwater wreck

[full pewter]

Check for other players bases

[remote thunder]

be sure to be in a gek/vykeen/korvax system, complete and claim phase 4 milestone 1, build nautilon, hop in it, install high powered sonar, scan for crashed freighters (if all conditions are met, but still no hit when scanning, move to another area of the planet, rescan)

[ashen shore]

Can I remove the nautilon if if I want to leave?

[remote thunder]

just delete its chamber to be able to rebuild it on another planet if needed; if still on the same planet, and after summoning nautilon on it, you don't need the geobay built to resummon it via quick menu on the same planet

[wise meteor]

Do I really have to fully explore the derelict freighter? - I find this activity so boring, because it takes ages, because I am so careful.

[wraith junco]

Just enter each room. U dont need to loot it 100%

[wise meteor]

thx

Also can I get some extra cold protection anywhere? So far the various achievements completed haven't dropped anything useful

[wraith junco]

Only what comes to mind is geting some upgrades from loot on planet or looting poi.

No nees to wory imo bc u only need to do derelict like once

Just have some sodium with u and turn the heaters on in rooms

There are vails floating around with oxy and sodium.

[stoic hollow]

guys, what do i do with the final rewards? Are they just keepsakes?

[ashen shore]

Yeah I need to fully explore one myself

I mean can we keep the gun?

I actually went further in game progression with the expedition then my regular file

[remote thunder]

if you started expedition run from an existing save, yes

[amber elbow]

where do people find the robotic lifeforms in this expedition

[remote thunder]

• have the milestone selected, open galaxy map, make sure current mission destination is selected - you'll need indium drive installed most likely - follow the green pathline

• the hints lower right of the screen is what you're looking at mostly, after warping to any uncharted system (no race icon on galaxy map): if there's no synth lifeforms in the system, it will tell you so, just as it will when there is at least 1 planet that has them

• check the pinned posts

@amber elbow remember that you can force cycle hints by (spam) pressing (if needed) H or dpad left, depending if keyboard or controller

note: while this hint says that "it's in blue star systems" - it should actually be saying "uncharted systems" or "empty systems"

see 2nd image on the right, "uncharted aka empty", and how they look like in the galaxy map

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

when in a suitable system, look for planets with less than 5 fauna, double check discoveries/cursor over planet in main view to see if anyone has made bases there or renamed the planet itself

[gleaming mortar]

ive completed the expedition, how can i get the nanites from the unused upgrades i collected?

[remote thunder]

goto space, summon anomaly

[last flower]

I did, I’m on it

[grim hornet]

Go to the left room and get the mind ark recipe. Build it

[last flower]

Finished that

[remote thunder]

back to primary save? you'd have to bring them back via expedition terminus. after you press "end expedition", the expedition terminus slots will unlock, and you can put items and tech/modules into tech slots. if you need more than 8 tech slots, let us know.

[last flower]

I am at that spot

Robot is frozen

[remote thunder]

did you talk to nada?

interact with them?

[gleaming mortar]

i was hoping theres a different way, i just want to liquidate them

[last flower]

“Nada is empty””void”

[remote thunder]

not in expedition 13

[remote thunder]

after "talking" to nada the first time, you should be redirected to interact with prime terminal

[gleaming mortar]

i see, thank you. its odd the guy on reddit who did a guide for this expeditition advised not to use any upgrades for the nanites, if there is no way to sell them

[remote thunder]

thats why they advised not to bring any upgrade modules to sell for nanites, to get nanites in expedition

[last flower]

Nada isn’t talking nada is void empty so I’m not getting any response

[remote thunder]

goto the teleporter room

[gleaming mortar]

i mean, he advised not to use the upgrades we get as rewards during the expedition to get more nanites out of them

[last flower]

Ok

[remote thunder]

sure you're watching a guide for exp13? then they are mistaken afaik, there's no way to sell pkg tech/modules for nanites in exp13: there's no npcs to sell to, trade terminals won't buy them for nanites only units

[gleaming mortar]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1hc9wqx/adrift_redux_expedition_13_in_4_hours_full_guide/
this one, i guess they are mistaken

[remote thunder]

indeed they are

if you check the pinned posts here, you'll see that when aimed for exp13 specifically, none suggest bringing upgrade modules as a nanite source

[last flower]

So what you want me to do in teleporter room? I went in the prime terminal and still don’t have access to that computer

[remote thunder]

you need to craft mind ark

interact with it "read logs", you'll get mind ark bp

craft it, come back to interact with prime terminal

[river star]

I wanna overwrite my main multi-tool in my main save from the expedition's multi-tool that I originally copied from the main save. I see that I can copy it over from the expedition, but I'm not sure how it will work because it's the omega staff. Should I just copy it over or do i need to break down the staff beforehand? I know we only get one staff per all saves or per save and I want to make sure I won't screw this up as there are no takesies-backsies here.

Atlas Sceptre: originally from main save -> copied to the expedition -> cool stuff happened -> copied back to the main save ~how should I do this?

[last flower]

Thank you…. I’m noticing some of the expeditions are repetitive

[remote thunder]

I know we only get one staff per all saves or per save and I want to make sure I won't screw this up as there are no takesies-backsies here.

if you can copy it even though you already have on, copy it - as long as you have at least 1 MT slot available, you'll always be given the chance to "buy", as well as "exchange". "buy", and you'll have another multitool.

decide what to do then; if you want to keep the copied one from expedition; if you want to package installed modules from it to install on existing atlas scepter and then scrap the one copied from expedition to get the slot back.
or keep both, get to have the same tool with different builds for example, if you really love how it looks

[river star]

😮 you're hundred percent correct. I do have two of them now. I misunderstood the limitation of the how exclusive weapons work in NMS. Thank you for answering my silly question. @remote thunder

[remote thunder]

not silly; always feel free to ask 🙂

[wind plume]

bit of a derelict freighter issue?

any suggestiong on what to do?

[remote thunder]

mark the location you need to be at/return to, pause/options/network/disable multiplayer, save+reload from main menu

[wind plume]

fell through the floor a 3rd time died

it was a random freighter
thought i was lucky goin between planets for copper

was NOT lucky

is the community hub part of this expedition? kinda want a fancy ship

i remember it showing up without the regular quest, but its not shown up yet and im kinda lazy

nvm, guess i just had to warp a couple times

I FORGOT I NEED NANITES FOR THE SHIP DAMMIT

i cant even be fancy and have my cosmetics ));

this making me wanna use an older save instead of make a new one

[tight cipher]

Can't believe i forgot to make use of the pin feature. I've been stuck on the first planet for 3 play sessions because of this.

[wind plume]

what??

recipe pin or location pin?

what could delay you for so long?

[tight cipher]

Recipe pin for deuterium

[wind plume]

what does that do>

wait
does that tell you how to make it?

cause i had to memorise that shit

[tight cipher]

I never knew it was possible to refine deuterium from di-hydrogen and silicate powder. Recipe pin creates a new objective in log, which shows the recipe i mentioned.

[wind plume]

wooooah thats so cool

my usual go to is tritium cause it gives you more, but silicate is nice when you start off

[tight cipher]

I thought it was supposed to be tritium, not silicate powder. I'm still trying to make sense of the recipe. From my rusty chemistry, it doesn't make sense.

I've always relied on my stock knowledge when it comes to this game's more complex refiner recipes.

[wind plume]

not a good idea

what you think about the infinite hydrogen production?

30 di-hydrogen for a ball, smelt it for 40

[tight cipher]

I try not to think of the weird stuff too much

[wind plume]

lol

[wind plume]

why am i sideways

i went to a ancient ruin

it had a bunch of communication things

and now im sideways

°-°

[muted granite]

Some player bases have cosmetic stations in them.

[wind plume]

costmetic stations to change gravity ans stop people from saving their game?

[pine topaz]

Looking for a deep water planet for the Phantoms Deep task....

[indigo falcon]

did Adlindse in the starter system not do?

[manic path]

Chat

[teal jetty]

whenever i cant figure out how to make something i just google the recipe

[manic path]

How do I find the 1.4K summit

[teal jetty]

on rendezvou 2

[manic path]

Yeah I’m there

On the green planet

I know there’s a base showing where it is

But

The bases havnt loaded for me

[teal jetty]

go to the correct planet. there will be massive mountains, literally touching the clouds

[manic path]

Ok

[teal jetty]

find the tallest, land ur ship on or near it. and terain build to get higher if you almost make it

[manic path]

Ok

Thank you

[quaint urchin]

The theme of the Expedition prevents other bases from showing up outside of a Teleporter. Check a Space Station teleporter and you should see some marked 1400+ or something. Or just find a tall mountain, make the milestone active so you can see the altitude on screen, and go as high as you can.

[manic path]

Ohhhh

Gotcha

Anyway I got it now

[teal jetty]

some bases lie

[manic path]

The one I found didn’t

I was flying past a mountain and saw a base

I was like

“They probably put there here to help landing”

[teal jetty]

i went to one and it only went to 1000u. and i walked up all those steps...

[manic path]

The one I found had landing pads

[teal jetty]

then i found a mountain that as soon as i got out of my ship i got the milestone

[manic path]

Alright

Time to drift through space and time

Seems easy

[teal jetty]

gl

[manic path]

Also the good thing

[wraith junco]

probably base was not uploaded and not updated. There are planets along exp route with 1400u summits. Like in system after u exit portal

[manic path]

This expedition has made me not as afraid of the worms

[teal jetty]

yeah. u just keep on working despite all the rumbling

one dove into me several times. now im used to it

[manic path]

Yeah

I’ve gotten hit a ton of times

I’ve literally had to dodge them

And I’m absolutely terrified of large things that burrow in the ground

[teal jetty]

thought it would instakill but theres no colision apperently

[manic path]

That’s why I won’t watch dune

[teal jetty]

im mad i cant scan them though

[manic path]

Yooo I’m dreaming now

[teal jetty]

i wanna scan the worm

[manic path]

Done

[teal jetty]

short nap

[manic path]

So happy I grinded radiant shards for nanites

I got these cool ship upgrades

[teal jetty]

how

[manic path]

But too bad I already have a maxed out phoenix

[manic path]

Wdym how

[teal jetty]

how u got upgrades

[manic path]

The quests

[teal jetty]

ohh

[manic path]

Light amplifiers

Flight override

Lemme get a picture of my tech

I do need better shields

But

I’ll do that after exped it n

[teal jetty]

you dont need cadmium drive or emeril once u have induom

[manic path]

Ik

But

It improved everything else

Because they connected

So they help a little bit

[teal jetty]

where did you get that mutytool??

[manic path]

Wdym

[teal jetty]

looks sickk

[manic path]

Ye

It’s white

I think the other color is like a really white blue

But normally it looks white

I just used a Reddit post to find a white staff

Like half a year ago so idk where anymore

[muted granite]

Woah, that staff has all the weapons on it. Doesn’t that get clunky for you, cycling through them?

[manic path]

Sometimes yeah

I normally use the neutron canon

But sometimes I like using the other ones

Also I want to be able to just have everything

[muted granite]

If it works, awesome. I get overwhelmed sometimes, so I keep things as simple as possible. NC is legit. I may layer in a blaze javelin too.

[manic path]

Blaze Java line is fun

But

[muted granite]

The number of times I’ve tried shooting sentinels with a fishing rod already…

[manic path]

Neutron cannon sounds sick

And I don’t like having to charge up a weapon

[muted granite]

Yeah, fair. I used to use the scatter blaster almost exclusively for largely that reason. But even an uncharged NC blast hits pretty hard with good upgrades, and man it clears rooms well, especially on infested derelicts. Just spray and pray and the room is clear.

[manic path]

Yeah

The neutron cannon you have to charge

But with the upgrades I have

It takes literally no time at all

I can spam it

I also lucked out and my staff has 3 sc slots next to eachother

So 3 of the upgrades are super charged

[teal jetty]

i only put on 2 weapons, or have a seperate multytool for combat and one for exploring so i dont have to cycle through it all

[gilded orchid]

I have specialized MTs too, for the same reason

And it’s an excuse for having 6 MTs

[spare breach]

How much Play Time do i Need for the expedition ?

[wraith junco]

Around 6h

Without much sidetracking

[spare breach]

And then I have the ship ?

[wraith junco]

Yes ship is last rewards

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.

[keen zephyr]

I gotta say, Expedition wise, Adrift is definitely one of the more unique ones.

Only time I bother installing some non-S class upgrades I run across

[wind plume]

where tf a dissonent world goddamn

[manic path]

I am a genius

I using the pin thing

Instead of using the glyphs

I lined up literal star systems

[wraith junco]

There was one in starter system

[manic path]

To find the robotic fauna system

@wind plume

No gifs in this channel please

dies*

[teal jetty]

i was lucky. first red system i went to had robots

[foggy basin]

the Anomaly being broken this expedition, we cannot buy/unlock ANYTHINg with the nanits/quicksilver we earned in the expedition? 😦

[latent garnet]

Does every expedition give u a ship on completion?

[fleet crane]

What if I can't repair my thrusters?

[strong saffron]

@fleet crane u can. Progress with the missions until u have the mk2 refiner than combind dihydrigen with silicate

[fleet crane]

oh wiki has a different recipe, how was I suppose to find that out?

[lucid obsidian]

When you select the mission it tells you what to combine.

[snow ruin]

I'm pretty sure the wiki lists both recipes...

[fleet crane]

I went here http://nms.swebsol.co.uk/ not wiki sorry

[snow ruin]

Oooof, not secure site

[ashen shore]

It was like tritium and dihydrogen to make deuterium right?

[snow ruin]

Well, if you want the very difficult recipe to do without having access to space, sure ;P

But the answer to your question is quite literally the sixth message above yours XD

[ashen shore]

Ohhh I totally forget about silica I thought that was so weird

[pulsar helm]

okay so i never experienced these expeditions but i finished omega, didnt expect this one would be centered around loneliness and abandonment. is the starship at the end worth it?

[wraith junco]

Its nice. Its only unique ship that u can dismantle for parts.

[indigo falcon]

it's a nice looking ship with good stats and it has that hover ablity, rare outside of sentinel interceptors

[keen zephyr]

Iron Vulture is my favorite expedition ship

[stray nova]

I went on my first expedition, it was fun but i came a across bunch of derelict freighters on top of the rendezvous point multiple times, that was annoying

[keen zephyr]

Reminds me of the waybacjk days, when everyone wanted a hauler so they could have 48 slots

Yes a whole 48 slots!

[ashen shore]

How do I make nautilon fuel?

[keen zephyr]

salt, cyto, and carbon?

[ashen shore]

Oh I just never got it unlocked

[wind plume]

i cannOT find robotic life wtf

nevermind

goddammit its not it

[misty plinth]

I found mine scanning systems in the discovery list - saw two labeled and just chose one to warp to.

[wind plume]

i found animals on the acide planet next to mechampia

but was i wrong to think the machine planet was gonna have machine animals?

not just an orb

[ashen shore]

I only died once during this expedition, that's an improvement lol

[tiny gale]

time to start the expeditin on my 2nd character

ugh weekend is going by so slow

[sleek spade]

I need help finding a crashed freighter

[ashen shore]

In the water? Yeah I gave up on that and am going through a derelict freighter

[sleek spade]

Thanks for the help

[ashen shore]

You’re suppose to use the nautilon on a planet with a lot of water

Then use the scanner and try to find it

[sleek spade]

Ok

[hardy creek]

how do we get the sonar then?

[keen zephyr]

build it. iirc the quest gives you the pattern for it

[hardy creek]

nevermind, need to chart another waypoint

[ashen shore]

It’s given to you from the quests

The only thing I need left for stage four is the damn water freighter

[solid copper]

3 derelict freighters hanging out on a planet surface

[radiant geode]

you also don't actually need the nauitillon to progress that quest. just use the teleport in the R4(?) space station and look for a player base titled something like "crashed frieghter"

then go to it and swim down to the log pod thing in the middle of the crash.

[ashen shore]

Are you kidding me

[amber elbow]

Why does the signal booster keep leading me to crash sites that have no ships?

Where are all the crashed ships???

[keen zephyr]

Are you still in the expedition?

[sleek spade]

How do I gaze towards the stars

[upbeat torrent]

rarer to find it seems. in normal, some of the crashed ship events are replaced by needing to help a crashed person, and since the people are gone this time, the events are too

my guess at least.

[keen zephyr]

go to a clear place, highlight the quest in your log, then just look right up. wait for it to kick in

[sleek spade]

Ok

[ashen shore]

Yeah awaken you’re mind

[amber elbow]

Yes

[keen zephyr]

be still, take hand off mouse

[ashen shore]

For the sunken freighter I just went to the anomaly and looked for a player base named sunken freighter

That’s what I’m doing as we speak

[amber elbow]

Anyone?

[misty plinth]

Anomaly will only show you bases of the other players on the anomaly same time you are.

[sleek spade]

Does clear place mean no clouds

[misty plinth]

I would suspect other players got to those locations before you did?

[amber elbow]

I have multiplayer disabled.

[keen zephyr]

save and reload?

sometimes its just buggy

[amber elbow]

On steamdeck, does letting it ‘process vulkan shaders’ matter?

[sly sedge]

Vulkan is a graphics thing. I always let it run on my Linux system because it'll probably improve the graphics processing.

[ashen shore]

Just found the teleport thing for it

[upbeat torrent]

yes, and you should let it run (unless it happens over and over, then something is wrong. shaders should only process after something like the gpu driver or parts of the game changed)

[sly sedge]

This expedition really has a lot of titan worm planets in it.

[amber elbow]

I restarted, let the vulkan shaders process, found another crash site, and still no ship… -.-

[sly sedge]

What do you mean crash site and no ship?

[amber elbow]

I mean I’m using the signal booster to locate a ship crash site but I keep finding ones that dont have a ship for some reason

[ashen shore]

Randezvout to check point 4 lets goo

[sly sedge]

Oh, in the phase 3 milestone?

[amber elbow]

Yeah

[sly sedge]

That's weird.

Have you tried other planets?

[amber elbow]

Yep.

Does it have to be in a rendezvous system or something?

[solemn bane]

Someone else had this issue too, I forget the solve

[amber elbow]

Do you remember who it was?

[misty plinth]

@amber elbow Do you have the minotaur unlocked yet?

[amber elbow]

No. Why?

[solemn bane]

Try this:

#nms-expedition message

[misty plinth]

@amber elbow The minotaur has a scanner that locates downed ships and crashed freughters.

[solemn bane]

Ah, this is what I was remembering. They were in an abandoned system, and when they went to one with a race icon it worked for them. Could be the same issue for you, or something else

#nms-expedition message

[ashen shore]

Where in the hell is the 4th rondezvew point

I thought it was on the ship then got all the stuff in it, this planet has like 2 vessels being all weird

[sly sedge]

Yeah. Some jerkoffs have been screwing with everyone by summoning derelict freighters in atmo.

Apparently you can fix it by leaving the planet, turning off multiplayer, and then going back to it.

[radiant geode]

maybe regular crashed ships have been removed

[remote thunder]

nah, most likely in an uncharted system

[soft pilot]

Do infected planets actually show as being ''infected'' from space? I forgot

[devout echo]

Ok if I pickup a companion on the expedition, is it possible to bring it back to my primary save, or by hatching an egg and bringing it back?

[remote thunder]

their synonyms are things like nest, terrorsphere - check !faq-biomes in #bot-spam - all rdv planets are infested

[soft pilot]

rdv?

[ashen shore]

Phase 4 complete

[soft pilot]

oh ok 🙂

[remote thunder]

drop and claim a base computer in the system you adopted it in, then complete expedition and all bases made in expedition will merge into primary; then just teleport there with main save, and get the pet

[ashen shore]

And I only have 4 left in phase 5

[remote thunder]

almost there

[ashen shore]

What is a planetary breach

[remote thunder]

what does the mission hint say you need to do? go check it out
