nms-expedition

[devout echo]

Thanks for that ! but don't think I remember which systems these guys came from.

[remote thunder]

sorry, won't be able to get them to your main save unless you pass that egg to a friend who's also on expedition, but started it from a new save (so that when they complete expedition, the game converts their expedition run to a normal mode save, which could most likely multiplayer with your main save, as long as it's not permadeath)

[ashen shore]

Just found it but my game glitched out so I’ll find it again

[devout echo]

wow I was able to find them on discoveries tab ... I guess I didn't go to many planets on this run through adrift.

[remote thunder]

nice! actually thought of suggesting but people get so many systems in their discoveries lists 😄

[rotund nimbus]

Sooo is anyone else having issues landing their ship. Like it won't let me out no matter what

[radiant geode]

occasionally. had to spam that land button for far to lobg

[misty plinth]

I had to quit out and reload to get it to finally work

[remote thunder]

may also try to land further away from approx destination marker in case it's proving really impossible to land

[lethal mirage]

how am i gonna find ruins

[remote thunder]

signal booster, 1st option

[lethal mirage]

the heck? i didnt have that option

... why is it there nowww

[remote thunder]

when the right milestone is selected, you definitely should

[lethal mirage]

dfgrftuhtdyjghjkghj

i only had locate nearby structures

now i ran out of pugneum to take off again and im on a planet with no sentinelss aaaaaaa

[grim hornet]

to the person who built a base going only up to 1387u...... WHY now i have to find a mountain elsewhere for that milestone

[keen zephyr]

go to the top and rocket jump up into the air

[grim hornet]

technically it went up to 1300. boost only got me that much higher

[wraith junco]

Have u been to a potal already?

[lethal mirage]

so now i have to fly my brick

[grim hornet]

earlier today, yeah

[wraith junco]

There is a planet with 1400u summits in system where u exit one.

[grim hornet]

i'm still in that system! thanks

[lethal mirage]

i think it's a rondevu planet

[remote thunder]

i got mine in rdv2

literally, landed, got the milestone

[dry sluice]

amidst the starts sucks man 😦 I thought I completed it. Turns out you have to go through the portal. I can't find it Q_Q on this frozen hell.

[remote thunder]

but do you have a marker leading to the planet

and is it just a matter of landing and using target sweep to find it?

[dry sluice]

Hi bk,
I was hoping you were around 😄 (i've tried to look up the answer for about an hour before I ask)
Unfortunately I can't find it using the sweep. There was a person who had built an entire base around it so we had to report it. Making it dissappear.

[remote thunder]

the portal itself shouldn't have disappeared - are you playing in a group atm?

(reporting reports bases, not removes game generated structures)

[dry sluice]

Oh yea i understand. It was completely blocked in

which why it was odd. I'm out of the group now

[remote thunder]

and are you still near the portal was supposed to be?

[misty plinth]

@amber elbow I placed a base that you and others in your situation might find useful. It is in the Avveik System - Planet Elyn Sigma, The destination system is just a short jump from the one the expedition starts in.

[dry sluice]

unfortunaately no. I think it's on this ice planet but it was 3 hours ago 🥲 it might be a better idea to restart

I unfortunately made the assumption it would have a marker like all missions so far

[remote thunder]

if you started from new save, yes. probably. that said, was it this planet, do you remember?

[dry sluice]

it was

[remote thunder]

ok not the same

but at least you know which one it is

if you get the glyph address for it

from a different mode, you'd portal in

to learn of the latitude and longitude coordinates of the planet's portal

since there's only one per planet..

you'd then travel there in your expedition save

[rotund nimbus]

Annd with that Adrift is over for me, now to prepare for the next expedition

[remote thunder]

congrats

[grim vortex]

Am I correct that there should not be a derelict freighter on top of the Boundary POrtal?

[rotund nimbus]

Thank yoooou!

[remote thunder]

correct; mark the spot with a beacon or base comp, options/network/disable multiplayer, save+reload from main menu

[grim vortex]

I hope the people doing this get banned.

[remote thunder]

i had multiplayer disabled - never saw a thing

perfectly fine

[grim vortex]

Yeah, that fixed it for me. I like seeing other folks during expeditions. It's a shame that morons have to be morons.

[remote thunder]

😦

[fleet crane]

what am I missing?

[grim vortex]

Can't complain. First time ever getting griefed in this game

[remote thunder]

stuff like <#nms-expedition message>

@dry sluice did you see what i wrote after sorry?

[dry sluice]

yea but i'm fairly new so it's hard to understand completely.
Sorry for bothering BK. Can you give the system + coor for the place you just posted a screenshot of? I might as awell take my chances with that

[remote thunder]

ah mb, i don't have the lat+long coords - but i'm willing to help you out in another way

send me the glyphs of the planet you had the portal in

i'll portal in, give you the latitude and longitude coordinates

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Navigating to known latitude+longitude coordinates

Current latitude and longitude coordinates can be seen in several places:

• On foot, using Analysis Visor;
• On exocraft, lower left of the HUD;
• On ship, below 2000u altitude, using cockpit camera

Tips to navigate to coordinates:

• Compass at top center of the screen provides North/South icons, they can be used to easily get to the right latitude;
• Getting to the right longitude first might be easier, after you can just use N/S on compass to get to right latitude;
• If current position is still too far away from right coordinates, get in ship, align flight path to reach one of the coordinates, fly straight up to space out of the atmosphere, and keeping that flight path as best as possible, pulse drive around the planet for a couple seconds, as if you were in orbit, then drop back down into atmosphere to recheck current coordinates. With practice, you'll get better at guessing just how much time you'll need to pulse drive for, while initially you'll rely more on short pulse drive trips, rechecking coordinates more often before reaching destination.

Note: Often players will upload a base near the shared location; check local space station teleporter.

[remote thunder]

^ see?

then you just fly there

[dry sluice]

hold on

[remote thunder]

no, i'd give you those 😉 here, do this; goto the planet, enter photo mode, look lower left - see the glyph address?

[remote thunder]

thanks, give me a few and i'll get back to you

[dry sluice]

[ashen shore]

Why did the game just make me make bread

[misty plinth]

Communion is my guess.

[ashen shore]

Only two more left!!!!!

LAST RONDEZVOUS INCOMING

This is my first expedition haha

I’m gonna smoke before I had to the rondevous thing

[remote thunder]

i'd probably recommend having internet disabled to prevent downloading base code from other players - someone buried the portal of that planet, but here are the coordinates, right side of the visor

[remote thunder]

@dry sluice refer to this post if you need guidance to get there, anything just ask

[grim vortex]

Trying to do the "Abandoned" milestone where you ahve to repair a crashed ship. The distress beacon is here, all of the other things you usually see at a crash site are here, but there is no ship. Even reloaded a restore point. No ship

[remote thunder]

does the system you're in have a race icon?

either in discoveries, or in the galaxy map?

if not, that's what you need first

[grim vortex]

Ah, thank you

[ashen shore]

Boys guess what

[remote thunder]

you got to rdv5?

🥳 expedition complete?

[ashen shore]

Damn right let’s goooooo

[remote thunder]

yay!

[ashen shore]

I was about to give up because of the derelict ship

[remote thunder]

nahhh

[dry sluice]

Yea I do have a question

how the hell are you that good? Thank you from the bottom of my heart

[remote thunder]

you did it! yesss!! nice it worked again!! 😄

🥳

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[ashen shore]

It is finally done and I have the iron vulture

[remote thunder]

yesss congrats hehe it's an awesome ship

[ashen shore]

Yeah it is, I remember when the weird void egg ship came out and that thing was crazy, but I had to restart my file

So this is awesome

Bro I got over 11000 manures from that

[remote thunder]

lmao

[ashen shore]

And 1500 quick silver, most I’ve ever had in my life haha

[remote thunder]

🥳

[ashen shore]

And 9 mill units but that’s not that much haha

Do I get to keep the gu??

Gun?*

[remote thunder]

are you back in your primary save already?

[ashen shore]

Just about I wanted the scanner things that scan for derelict freighters

[remote thunder]

that's an item, you can bring that back via expedition terminus

about the multitool:

if you only have 1 tool, no worries, yes, you'll be able to copy it once you're back in primary save, at the expedition terminus

[ashen shore]

Hell yeah!!! Just copied both of them

Don’t why it cost over 4k Nantes though

[remote thunder]

lots of upgrades installed and slots probably

that said, difficulty settings could also be bumping that copy price

[ashen shore]

I have so many s class upgrades for my Omni tool that it got mad at me and overloaded

I mean I only chose normal mode or whatever it’s called

[remote thunder]

ah then just the former

[plain viper]

congrats!!!!

[ashen shore]

Yeah I mean the rewards have a ton of slots

[ashen shore]

THANK YOU

[soft pilot]

i like the new ship, i have no use for a cargo ship, wish i could just display it at my base as well as other ships

[random escarp]

are all the space stations abandoned?

[wintry void]

No npcs at all

[random escarp]

are there trade terminals

[wintry void]

Yes in station, left wing if you facing out of station. Teleporter in right wing

[remote thunder]

note that space station trade terminal offerings in exp13 are not the usuals

[random escarp]

thx

[amber elbow]

is there anywhere to sell your technology modules in the expedition?

[radiant geode]

this is useful b/c there's a thing at one point that needs hypnotic eyes (IDR what) and the 'suspicious...' are a great source of upgrades given no vendors and lots of cash on hand.

[remote thunder]

nope

not for nanites anyway

[amber elbow]

oh. great. my inventory is chock full of them. what am I supposed to do? :/

[radiant geode]

I put the ones I didn't need into a storage container. just in case.

[random escarp]

im ngl i already gave up lol

got to page 2 where u have to climb 1400 ft

looked at the rest of the challenges and close the game

[remote thunder]

easy to do in rendezvous 2 planet actually

[radiant geode]

ok. 🙂 you do you buddy! life is hard enough without our games feeling too much to tackle. - just so you know, the expedition runs for a while, so if you do feel like coming back to it, it'll be there and so will we. 🙂

[random escarp]

ill probably get back on eventually theres 10 days left to finish but for tonight im good

[radiant geode]

o7

[grim vortex]

The "Warp 30 times" is my least favorite part of any expedition

[remote thunder]

i had it's alive done with a single warp after i selected the milestone

[grim vortex]

Getting to Rendezvous 3 appears to be dozens of warps

[remote thunder]

sentinel ship 😉

obtained one from starter system

helped me make it to rdv3 in one warp

had 2 a-class modules

[grim vortex]

You lucky fiend. 🙂

[remote thunder]

easy enough

find a echo locator from a dissonance resonator

get 3 shards, 1 inverted mirror, use locator, unlock the camp, trigger dissonance spike, fix pilot interface, get ship

there's probably uploaded bases from other players in starter system with sentinel ship site on their names

or "harmonic camp"

[wintry void]

Getting ship also does one of the other objectives

[ashen shore]

Why didn’t they upgrade the Omni tool too s class if you got an s class ship

[wintry void]

You get an s class ship?

[ashen shore]

Yep

[sick mulch]

does the synthetic lifeform have to be on a specifically dead planet or can it be any of the kinds of dead planets?

[novel girder]

Does anyone know if you could get the iron vulture parts?

[wintry void]

Robot fauna on any planet with robot fauna

[solid copper]

they have the chance to spawn on any (except airless) planet in uncharted system

[wintry void]

You get the iron vulture ship not parts. You can break ship down to a part

[novel girder]

Is there a way to get all three?

[wintry void]

Break down 3 vultures?

[novel girder]

I think they patched the glitch where you have to go into the ship summoning menu while the ship is being scrapped

[sick mulch]

Okay, I found the synthetic lifeforms
I had to follow current mission then it eventually led me to the right galaxy

[junior wyvern]

Hey are you still there?

I am having an hard time finding those and I don't want to fail the expedition-
May I teleport to that place?

Oh ok nevermind. I am a dumbass lol

I just needed to follow quest line

LMAOOO

[sick mulch]

I'm where it sent me but still trying to find which planet it is lol

[junior wyvern]

Lmao gl

[sick mulch]

I got it :D

[junior wyvern]

GG

[finite scaffold]

If you finish the exped with the iron vulture as your main ship you can copy it for nanites on main save, assuming you didn't collect it from QS dealer. You can keep copying and scrapping for as many parts as you'd like as long as you pay the 2800 nanites to copy each time

[grim vortex]

Is there any way to know how many LY I am from Rendezvous 3? I've jumped 40 times along the Expedition path and I would like to know if I have 20 jumps left or 200

[ashen shore]

Let’s goooo

Did we all get the same multi tool?

[modern bronze]

I just got softlocked on the expedition because someone managed to spawn 3 derelict freighters in low orbit of one of the planets

[grim vortex]

Get in ship, turn off multiplayer, reload restore point

[modern bronze]

Cant, restore point leads to the softlock

[grim vortex]

If you turn off multiplayer, and then reload, the crashed freighter should disappear. It did for me

[modern bronze]

It did, but i cant find the portal i need anymore and it wont show a waypoint

[grim vortex]

I had the exact same thing earlier today

Mission selected in the log?

[modern bronze]

Yep

[grim vortex]

Try heading back into space. Might be easier to spot the waypoint from orbit

[modern bronze]

I had gotten the mind arc inserted in the portal before the freighters started causing problems

[muted granite]

And you’ve got the quest selected in the log?

[modern bronze]

Yes

[ripe summit]

Another expedition finished 💪💪

[grim vortex]

I'd try leaving the system and warping back in, then scanning

[edgy oasis]

isnt this the log thing or am i wrong ?

[grim vortex]

That's the freighter log yes

[edgy oasis]

any reason why i cant interact with it ?

[grim vortex]

Turn off Multiplayer and reload from restore point

[edgy oasis]

Ill give it a shot

[edgy oasis]

It worked thanks

[rapid bear]

uh.. I just found a glitch I think?

it is on expedition

what do I do

[grim vortex]

Provide some details?

[rapid bear]

ok

in the nexus

at the egg sequencer

there was stuff already inside

if u take it

and then go back in

it respawns

and if u go back in enough times or quick enough

it maximizes

like

it has tritium hyperclusters

it will max out all stacks

[grim vortex]

I would submit a bug report. https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[rapid bear]

k

I literally picked up the stuff like 3 times-

my inventory is somehow full of eggs even tho I didnt see an egg except for once ;/

[sick mulch]

I think I will save the derelict freighter for another day lol

[rapid bear]

if u haven't gone on one yet it is worth it

cuz u get a freighter for free

[sick mulch]

it's my least favorite content

[rapid bear]

I am physically unable to get to this portal 😭

made it by flying my starship into the side of the portal and climbing sidewaysd

I think I'm fine

[grim vortex]

So, there's nowhere I can sell anything? Is every trade terminal in the expedition broken?

[ocean gorge]

What? Derelicts don’t give you a freighter “for free”

[devout echo]

you can sell things at any trade terminal for units ... but other types of transactions that require either nanites or other speical terminals/NPCS are unavailabe.

[grim vortex]

I've tried a dozen trade terminals and they're all broken

[devout echo]

they are not normal yes ... but you should still be able to SELL things for units.

[snow ruin]

These ones?: #nms-expedition message

[snow ruin]

Milestone reward

[ocean gorge]

Oh ok

[grim vortex]

Yep. Trade posts, trade terimnals in player bases, etc. Can't sell anything anywhere

[ocean gorge]

Just normally speaking, they don’t reward a freighter😅

[snow ruin]

From what I've been told at least, see Dereliction in P4

[ocean gorge]

Can you help this person in #nms-questions

#nms-questions message
I haven’t done the expedition yet

[snow ruin]

I haven't done the expedition yet either

[ocean gorge]

Oh my b

Sorry then

[snow ruin]

No worries, I just have learned a lot by seeing what others have said here, so I can come off as having done the expedition already

[fleet crane]

Are expeditions meant to be solo?

[gilded orchid]

During this expedition, NPCs are not available. The trade terminals in abandoned space stations might be available, but there are no options to trade units for nanites

[grim vortex]

I can't even sell anything for units. Anywhere

[devout echo]

First thing I would try to do is reload from my last save ... then I would report it to Hello Games support.

!HG

[unkempt kraken]

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

[grim fossil]

Yes and No.

It can be played solo or with friends/other players in the community.

When Expeditions was introduced an element was that it can be solo or with the community/your friends. (This is for those that replied “yes”)

[fleet crane]

I just read the pinned messages, should have before, but most of that stuff I haven't even done on my main !!!

[frozen basalt]

Guys the “fix broken ship” mission will not work for me. Everytime I go to the distress signal there’s literally no ship. Only the beacon and cargo drops/waypoint save. Wtffff

Helllp please 😭

Wasting so many surge batteries

[grim vortex]

I had this very problem. You have to be in a populated system (Gek, Korvax or Vykeen icon on the galactic map)

[sly sedge]

Same thing happened to me in the Cursed expedition. A bug report was submitted, and they fixed it.

[rapid bear]

so it is back?

lol

[sly sedge]

Basically.

[rapid bear]

this wasn't even purposeful 😭

pretty sure it literally gave me more than what I picked up

LOL

[sly sedge]

Whoa. That's a lot of cacti. Good thing that cactus juice is so thirst quenching.

[solemn bane]

Make sure you're in a system with a race icon when you look at it from the galaxy map. If there is just a dot there then I think that's when the problem occurs.

[rapid bear]

LOL

anyone know a good way to find fauna on planets (I need nanites for something)

[sly sedge]

I don't know about fauna, but you can refine Salvaged Data into nanites, and those are all over the place.

[rapid bear]

how many nanites each

[sly sedge]

15 each.

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Nanite_Cluster#Source

[rapid bear]

ok*

[sly sedge]

Personally, I like to take a whole stack of runaway mould into every expedition to ensure that I've got nanites.

[rapid bear]

how much do you get from that

[sly sedge]

Just under 2k.

[rapid bear]

dayum

[sly sedge]

It helps that my main save has over 300k nanites, so I can store nanite producing goods for expedition imports.

[sly sedge]

It takes a bit to refine all of it though. It's 9999 mould.

[rapid bear]

...

[frozen laurel]

~20 minutes to refine

[sly sedge]

There we go. Enough time to wash some dishes, or sweep the floor.

[rapid bear]

@sly sedge took me like- an hour but did it

[sly sedge]

Oh, you were going for that bonus.

[rapid bear]

yeah

[sly sedge]

I've only ever gotten that on 2 planets, I think. Hoping to do more of course.

[rapid bear]

I have gotten it on

like

over 5

prob

[sly sedge]

Nice. Takes patience.

[rapid bear]

fr

[frozen laurel]

Remember to refuel the refiner.

[sly sedge]

That too.

[rapid bear]

I brought the phoenix into expedition using nanites

LOL

I can practically travel like

1k ly

bc of the fact that I upgraded it a bunch

wait if I switch back to my main save can I bring more stuff over?

cuz I realized smth ;-;

[solemn bane]

yup

[rapid bear]

:o

ok

[solemn bane]

Well, once you have all the required milestones done, you can send stuff back to your main save from the terminal

[rapid bear]

oh cool

aso

also

I lied by about 400 ly

it can go uh

559

I realized (for the thousandth time) I am an idiot- I just took out the item teleporter in my freighter while not being in my freighter-

[ocean gorge]

Where am I supposed to buy 5 microprocessors for the hyperdrive?
The abandoned space station doesn’t sell them.
Istg if I have to go back planetside to search boxes for them, I’m gonna be so pissed. This is why I hate the start of expeditions😒 Just let me start with all my stuff at Anomaly

Anyway I have larval cores to sell, but no microprocessors I can find to buy

I checked pins, didn’t see this one covered though

[devout echo]

I think I made them from a recipe ... only takes some chromatic metal and some nano tubes i think.

[ocean gorge]

We start with the recipe? Omg I’m so stupid lol

Most of the time we don’t have the recipe so I didn’t look

[devout echo]

we may not have start started with them ... maybe it's part of a milestone to get it.

[ocean gorge]

Ah, we DO have the recipe this time, cool, thanks you helped me so much

(We don’t usually start with advanced tech recipes, for the record)

[naive crypt]

Hol up, there is no qs merchant at the anomaly

Does that mean we cannot redeem stuff this exped?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhohoho that's evil HG

[devout echo]

redeem when you return is fine.

[naive crypt]

I was planning on redeeming Boundary herald to make travel easier

[devout echo]

you can use the expedition console to bring a ship over to expedition for 2800 nanites.

Iron vulture also will redeem into the expedition but only at the end so not useful for your case.

[naive crypt]

Yeah I am gonna do that, its a good thing I 100% the first planet to get nannies

So....i have to fight worms with a shotgun.......

[devout echo]

i mean ... if you want you can.

[naive crypt]

Nevermind it was really fun

I did not expect scatter blaster to be this good ngl

[ocean garnet]

Oh my, ||abandoned anomaly|| was not something I would have ever expected. It is surprisingly unnerving, really uncanny

[rugged tiger]

How to complete Still They Hunger - Purge 5 Hungering Tendrils?

What's the closest planet?

[red shale]

c'mon.........who put the crashed derelict freighter at rendevous 1....ridiculous.............

[naive crypt]

In starter system there are 2 planets(including the one you start on)

In rendezvous 1 the rendezvous point planet is also infested one

Look for titan worm burrow and go near it, 3 hungering tendrils should pop up, you pop a cap in their tail and boom, profit

[tight cipher]

Are player base markers not supposed to be visible on foot and from the sky and space in Adrift expedition?

[tired badger]

Anyone know of a base I can warp to at rdv4?

[rugged tiger]

What's the name of the starter system space station?

[ashen shore]

Does Exosuit upgrade chart work in this expedition?

[tawdry swallow]

Yup

[true meteor]

Is rendevous 4 the derelict freighter?

[wraith junco]

Rdvs are in pins

[rugged tiger]

Why doesn't this count?

What do I need to do?

[wraith junco]

Nothing

[rugged tiger]

Find a different place?

[wraith junco]

Just gaze into the stars. At night

[polar bolt]

Anyone facing this issue?
||There's 2 derelict freighters crashed on each other over a portal which is a phase 2 mission||

[rugged tiger]

Bro its always dark in space

[wraith junco]

Try on planet surface

[wraith junco]

Try Turn of mp. Reload save.

[misty parrot]

tips for finding underwater freighjjter?

[polar bolt]

mp ?

[wraith junco]

Multiplayer

[rugged tiger]

There's a base called sunken building

teleport to it, use the nautallion in that base

Install the scanner

[polar bolt]

go to water planets, summon nautilis exocraft & scan for structures

[rugged tiger]

And voila

This base

[tired badger]

How do I reroll the derelict freighter to get the easy one?

[polar bolt]

by going to different solar system

you will get same design if you stay in same solar system

[wraith junco]

Starter system has derelict with no enemies.

Only floating jellyfish

[tired badger]

Nice, thanks!

[iron tendon]

Can't believe I was able to "trade" an A class sentinel ship for free from an NPC. It automatically contributed to make amends milestone as well

This is from the "Ship A class + Pod" base

[wraith junco]

Sentinel ships are free

Base in close prox to ship crash site glitched it somehow so npc drives it.

[iron tendon]

It's weird that it became repaired automatically

[meager scroll]

It did not

Other player in this instance must have found it, repaired it then traded with an NPC pilot

Then you came across the same NPC pilot and got the ship from them

[steady kestrel]

rendezvous 4 is a tad crazy right now

nooo my game crashed

[misty parrot]

yeah theres like 4 crashed freighters

[steady kestrel]

i found a base on one lol

[misty parrot]

i cant get to r4 because its under a glitched freighter

you can't park there mate

[humble lotus]

Can anyone tell if this expedition has portable refiners or nah

These are all the options i see

[misty parrot]

you get a suit reefiner pretty ealry on

[humble lotus]

So no portable refiner

For this expedition

Just want to know if it's a bug or not

[iron tendon]

Weird thing is that I had the option to repair via interacting with the ship first. But I exited and decided to talk to npc to see what that did

[ashen shore]

You are definitely supposed to have a personal refiner

And the upgraded version

[remote thunder]

complete phase 1 milestone 2, then complete phase 1 milestone 3 - you now have a personal refiner mk2

[solemn bane]

I think they are asking specifically about the portable refiner. It can do some things the personal refiner can't, like quickly changing condensed carbon to carbon and the item duping if that's still around.

And of course being able to make as many as you want

[fading kiln]

I got a portable refiner after completing 1st phase I think, started the same, didn't have it

[tiny gale]

really- 4 damn derelict freighters on the landing spot for rendevous 4- WTF people

trying to see where to land, and everytime i freaking move it pops to land on derelict freighter- thanks asshats

[weary badge]

On expeditions I've turned to landing at distance and target scanning and running the rest of the distance in.

[remote thunder]

yeah, this has been increasingly needed because, it seems, of other uploaded player bases near expedition POI

[tiny gale]

i can understand a save beacon or communication device saying this is the spot, but bases and other shit, have some courtsey for other players dammit

[red shale]

Would turning off multi-player help with this?

[tiny gale]

i have it turned off

[remote thunder]

yes

[red shale]

I ran into this problem last night with Rendezvous 1. A crashed freighter was over the portal screwing with the gravity and it took me forever to get it just right to ender the portal to complete the mission, but I didn't think about turning all multi-player options off.

[austere ivy]

Once I have completed 5he expedi5ion what do I do? Do I just play the story from the beginning or do I start a new save and just transfer the ship thingy at the anomaly

[keen ember]

kicking myself for not interacting with the holo terminus i found at the start of the expedition

oh thats great

signal booster just ate my surge battery without giving me anything

[remote thunder]

did you start expedition run from new save? then you're free to keep on playing, storylines, quests as they come etc - from that same save, since it will be converted to a normal mode save in every way, with the exception that your character isn't a new character in the traditional meaning of the word

[austere ivy]

Okay yes I started with a new save so I will just continue playing with it then 5hank you

[orchid stone]

every single base i come to here is destroyed xD

[keen ember]

i swear to god if the game gives me another drop pod

[wraith junco]

Trick is to keep drop pod marker and use another chart until it marks the thing u want

[keen ember]

signal booster doesnt let you scan again until you've got to whatever it previously scanned

[dawn nimbus]

Is there a way to spawn the derelict freighters in a specific place?

I can’t find R4 lol I thought it might be in the freighter

[wraith junco]

Derelic freighter are in space. R4 is on planet surface

[keen ember]

there has to be a better way to find a holo terminus

[dawn nimbus]

It results in a pretty epic photo though lol

[wraith junco]

Exocraft scanner?

[tiny gale]

You mean like this

[keen ember]

i'll see if it's feasible to do so this early into my expedition run

[dawn nimbus]

Still can’t find r4 lol

[wraith junco]

Locations in pins

Game should mark it if u selected the rdv task

[dawn nimbus]

Ah, I thought I had! Yes, tracking is working now

My steam deck isn’t enjoying this

The gravity is messed up too, everything’s diagonal lol

[rapid bear]

are you at the boundry portal?

because it is like that for everyone

[dawn nimbus]

Nah, I was at R4

[rapid bear]

oh

[dawn nimbus]

I turned it off now. The steam deck plays like this if it’s running out of battery - but it wasn’t :S

I bet the derelict freighters are causing it

[slow cobalt]

Sorry if this has already been asked a million times but has Rendezvous 4 gone completely scuffed or is it supposed to be like that? I'm playing with quite the hangover and it's making my head hurt!

[keen ember]

i've found the game tends to just run worse after some hours of play... at least on xbox

[muted granite]

That’s… so absurd, wow.

[keen ember]

not possible afaik, the expedition gets rid of all the npcs on the anomaly, and only the construction and synthesis laboratory terminals are interactable, so you cant get the scanner

you might get a scanner with the Signs to Nowhere milestone, but i dont know if that would let you search for a holo terminus

i think I'll leave The Faintest Echo for later

I found a.. staircase to heaven? In the initial system.. huh

[indigo falcon]

to be llike what? it's got normall storms and the location is at a crashed freighter...

[slow cobalt]

I was struggling to find anywhere I could land and when I did the planet was all on a diagonal slant. I fell through the floor a couple of times and had to reload. It definitely had a feeling of scuffedness

I managed to land in the end but had to walk on the diagonal everywhere

[indigo falcon]

ok landing can sometimes be an issue, the diagonal thing is not happening for everybody though.

[rapid bear]

that is also in R1

[indigo falcon]

it's probably too late for this but sometimes having mp off can help with this kind of crap

[rapid bear]

if anyone is on R1-R2 I made a base on this planet (name on screen), it should be on the expedition route and it gets you a milestone

[keen ember]

my understanding is that these are for the "summit a 1,400 unit unit mountain" milestone

[rapid bear]

yeah I made one too

[plain viper]

yahoooo!! finished my third expedition!!!

[cold marsh]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[dapper pumice]

I can’t be struggling this hard to cook food 😔

[austere meteor]

is there anywhere to sell upgrades in this expedition?

[teal jetty]

no?

[indigo falcon]

I don't think so. you can check the milestones/rewards pin in here and compare to what you have already, but I think there is nothing swapped out/in

[indigo falcon]

no npcs at all, not a one, so no vendors who can take your items.

if you want nanites, refining items you send in, that's the way

[austere meteor]

damn, was hoping there was at least someone I can sell upgrades to

guess I can't just do it the quick way (sell upgrades for nantes and copy my op ship and mt)

can I send stuff into my expedition if I've already started it?

[indigo falcon]

nope, you oculd send over radiant shards or runaway mould or larval cores, or taintedmetal, stuff like that

[austere meteor]

like go back send stuff and return?

[indigo falcon]

and no, once started, you can't transfer more things in

[austere meteor]

damn, oh well

there's probably a runaway mold farm somewhere

[indigo falcon]

there's a milestone for worm babies and one for whispering eggs, refine those. there's another one for one (1) radiant shard, just pick up a batch (starter system has a good planet) and refine those

you'll get it done

[quaint urchin]

Check your Discoveries Tab for any planet where you scanned all Fauna in your primary save. You can claim the Nanites without having to visit the planet or scan the fauna since you've already done it once. Though it could be tedious if you've visited a lot of planets and didn't scan all Fauna on most of them.

[latent arch]

a titan worm burrow spawned at the ship crash site

[keen ember]

I am not having a good time with this expedition tbh

all the rewards appear in the quicksilver exchange once you click finish

[dapper pumice]

They are there when you complete them, I haven’t finished it but I have the ship of the dam*ed

[turbid lake]

how do i get indium (I can’t go to blue systems yet)

[keen bloom]

you dont need to

[remote thunder]

that said, with indium drive installed, the milestone itself will mark a system with a suitable planet, and since the requirement is 2 and not 3, the first system it sends the player to would definitely complete the milestone

[turbid lake]

whoops

[turbid lake]

so I just need to install it?

[keen ember]

tips for "Stirring the Nest" milestone?

[keen bloom]

abandoned buildings or dead planets

take a larval core from the eggs

[remote thunder]

if you open the galaxy map after the milestone gets selected, there should be a current mission destination available. this should lead to a blue star system. if you have the indium drive already, that should be it. for example, i didn't - i had to first get emeril, but the nearby uncharted green star system i warped to actually already had a suitable planet: you can always double check the hint to get confirmation if there are any or not t

[keen ember]

i know how to do it i just cannot for the life of me find abandoned buildings, not sure if there are any dead planets on/near the expedition route

[turbid lake]

okay I’ll do that, thanks
it worked

[remote thunder]

pretty much all game generated buildings in exp 13 have whispering egg clusters - fly around quick scanning with ship

[keen ember]

will try that

[slender sinew]

Having an issue with the second rendezvous point

I land in the area but the analysis visor says it can't calculate the distance

[remote thunder]

be playing solo; listen for audio pings for direction even if it says "out of range"

[slender sinew]

Alright
Is the point on a mountain by any chance cause the whole planets is filled with them

[remote thunder]

if it pings left, turn left; if it pings right, turn right - when it's pinging on both speakers at the same time, walk forward

[remote thunder]

Trading Post - Lat/Long: -44.18, -6.27 (can see latitude+longitude on visor, right side)

it's in the bottom of a canyon

[slender sinew]

Thankss

[remote thunder]

i had a blast jetpacking down

free falling actually

night time too

use photo mode+move the sun to make it daytime

use photo mode as a drone camera, set fog to 0%

[slender sinew]

Oh well
I died twice and lost a lot of stuff and equipments had to fix them all from scratch

[slender sinew]

Got it

[remote thunder]

always conserve some jetpack tank fuel to stop yourself, remember that melee jetpacking will help you clear the mountain cliffsides

[slender sinew]

Alright got it

[turbid lake]

what’s a good way to get nanites in the exped

uploading planets isn’t doing much

like at all

[weary badge]

Disonance planet, collect Radiant Shards, Refine.

[turbid lake]

Ty

[remote thunder]

don't forget to keep an eye on planet zoology bonuses; planets with 1-6 fauna are often fairly easy to get all scans - and that can lead to some pretty hefty bonuses (nr of species on planet * 250 = bonus nanite reward

[indigo falcon]

e.g. that planet with the robohorses you need? scan them all and get the bonus.

[lusty slate]

I don't think I'm going to rerun this one after all. I haven't used the 3 sets of Iron Vulture parts I have, no need for more.

[indigo falcon]

if I were going to rerun one, this might be it because I like the vibe so much

but too much else to do...

[amber elbow]

wait people do them multiple times? 👀

[misty plinth]

Uhhh ... yeah!

[indigo falcon]

sure. omega was a popular one, because it gave a lot of quicksilver.

some people speedrun them multiple times, you can find such videos on youtube

other people run them again because they like the expedition gameplay, or to write guides, or whatever else 🙂

[blazing fossil]

During the Carto remix I think I did it a total of 23 times

Pretty sure my best time was 1:07

[indigo falcon]

wow holy crap that's a lot of times

[blazing fossil]

Wait no

1:16

[indigo falcon]

that's the redux with the more reasonable milestones I take it?

[blazing fossil]

It’s the one from last year

[indigo falcon]

last year? oh they did a second redux, that's right

[cunning idol]

Whats up whats up

[indigo falcon]

eh just chatting about previous expedition runs and such

how about you?

[blazing fossil]

Yeah, with the GV

No way I would’ve done original ones because switch

[cunning idol]

In dire need of help i cant find a merchant in the expedition to sell my upgrades for nanites im trying to get my ship from base game

[indigo falcon]

yeah there are no npcs anywhere in adrift

[cunning idol]

Then how am i suppose to sell nanites

[indigo falcon]

you'll have to get nanites other ways. scan all fauna and claim the bonus; collect radiant shards on the dissonant world in nthe starter system and refine them (50 nanites each); refine the stuff you get from the worm babies (there's a milestone for that); refine the larval cores from the whispering egg milestone, etc

[cunning idol]

Thank you sir ill do that

[wintry void]

curious deposits

[indigo falcon]

there might be a base taht will say "runaway mould" or "curious deposits", if so you could go check it out, refining those is slow but it's another nanite source indeed

[humble lotus]

Found out that it's a bug. Everyone should start with portable refiner plans. Just had to reload the save and it appeared.

[turbid hearth]

did we all start on the same world or did I get "lucky" with a worm world with lots of sulphides?

[remote thunder]

we all start on the same planet

[turbid hearth]

ah okay, ty

[radiant geode]

also I think you can get nanites from the hypnotic eye you can buy in space stations. so gather credits (storm crystals perhaps) and youre good to go.

[frozen laurel]

How do you get the stuff from the greyed out hidden inventory slots?

[rare cliff]

is there anywhere i can go to sell upgrade moduales for nanites?

or am i just SoL

[amber elbow]

wait we got the millennium falcon and now we got the razor crest too? 👀

im loving this lol

[indigo falcon]

no npcs anywhere in adrift.

[rare cliff]

damnnnnnnn, i always bring a bunch of those for easy nanites lol

[indigo falcon]

"Alone in an empty universe, Adrift 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. " (from the nms post: https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/12/starborn-phoenix-starship/)

of course "devoid of other lifeforms" isn't quite true, there are plenty of predators for example 😛

[solemn bane]

It's my dream come true: Just me alone with my animal frens.

[amber elbow]

if I bring a captain's log back from the expedition will I be able to sell it? (started from my normal save)

[long tinsel]

Question: at the end of adrift before i end the expedition. Can you copy multiple ships
back to your main save from the expedition (say if i swap ships in the expedition and then go back to my primary save)?

[misty plinth]

As long as you do not close out the expedition at the terminal you can go back and forth between save states.

[finite scaffold]

You can copy multiple ships, if you scrap the old ones. You can't keep multiples of the same shit

But if you want to copy the ship at the end, I believe it requires you finishing the exped because you completed all the milestones. So make sure when the exped ends you have iron vulture as the ship you end with, so you can copy and scrap for iron vulture parts

[long tinsel]

Aye but say i want to copy a starborne runner from the expedition back and a sentinel ship back as well. I can do that?

[finite scaffold]

Starborn runner was last exped, you mean iron vulture?

[sly sedge]

With the Starborn Runner, if you have one in your main save, and one in your expedition, and you then copy from the expedition to the main save, it'll overwrite the one in your main save.

I asked the same question myself a couple of days ago, and that's the answer I got.

[finite scaffold]

Only starborn runner that should still be available is the special one

Starborn phoenix

[turbid hearth]

Watcha need em for? There's always my definitely not insane strat

Max out fauna on planets

[finite scaffold]

Okay, assuming you're doing the current exped, the iron vulture can only be copied once you finished the exped because it requires all the milestones done. You can copy the sentinel ship before you finish the milstones and can still go back to your main save without finishing the exped. Once you finish last milestone you can only finish exped and copy your last main ship

[long tinsel]

I have the starborn runner on my main save. I copied it to this expedition to get copies of the phontonix core. I also copied an A class sentinel ship i liked to get the s class version of it. Can i copy both ships back from the expedition to my main save at the end? Or would i have to move the phontonix core to my sentinel ship and copy that back only?

[finite scaffold]

Aha, I see what you mean now

[sly sedge]

This is exactly what I wanted. I have a solution because I did it.

[finite scaffold]

Okay, so you can copy it to your main save, but it will override the old one. So I would suggest scrapping the old one for the photonix core and copy the new one over and scrap and copy as much as you want until you finish the exped

[sly sedge]

In the expedition, take the photonix core out of the copy of your Starborn Runner. Put the core into the tech slot of the Expedition Terminus. That'll transfer the core to your main save.

[finite scaffold]

That's a bad idea if you want more than one

You're better off copying it and removing the photonix core then scrapping and copying for another core

[long tinsel]

Yeah the main thing i want from the starborne runner are phontonix core copies

[finite scaffold]

Then keep scrapping them and copying until you get as many as you want, then copy a last time to keep one

[snow ruin]

Remember that you can't scrap ships in this expedition, so if you want more Photonix Cores then you should have a ship that has a Photonix Core in the expedition, go back to your main save and copy that ship over, take out the Photonix Core, scrap the ship, copy it again. The ship you have the Photonix Core in does not have to be the Starborn Runner

[sly sedge]

Then use the copy in your Expedition. It's how I did it. As long as you have enough nanites, you can keep copying the Starborn Runner into the Expedition, and have as many cores as you want.

[finite scaffold]

I would copy, remeve photonix core, the trail and the bobblehead, then scrap and repeat

Assuming you want copies of the trail and bobblehead, which I did

[long tinsel]

I would like the iron vulture parts too on my main save but yeah.

Okok that makes sense

[finite scaffold]

Iron vulture has to be done after the exped, which you can still do

Just make sure when you end the exped the iron vulture is main ship

[long tinsel]

Oh right because you have to claim it all derp

Ye

[snow ruin]

Same applies for the Iron Vulture. Set it as active ship in the expedition, go to main save, copy the Iron Vulture, scrap it and choose to get the custom parts for it, copy again, repeat

[long tinsel]

Ok thanks. It just takes time and nanites

[finite scaffold]

Glad I could help :D

[snow ruin]

You can also always go back to main save through the Options menu without fully ending the expedition

[finite scaffold]

Once you finish all the milestones it forces you out of exped

I wasn't able to switch after I got iron vulture

[snow ruin]

Nope, that's if you go to the terminal aboard the Anomaly and end it there, or if you started a new save (but then you couldn't copy the ship to main save anyway)

[finite scaffold]

I mean the anomoly is how you copy it...

[snow ruin]

If you don't go to the terminal to end the expedition you should be able to return to main save through the Options menu and go back to the expedition through the terminal on the main save Anomaly

[finite scaffold]

Oh shit, I never even thought of that

[snow ruin]

But you don't need to click the button "End expedition" to do that

[finite scaffold]

I don't see much practical use for it, but you're right. I had never thought to return to main save via options menu

[snow ruin]

It's nice that you can just do it wherever and whenever

[remote thunder]

let's you change gear, updating what gear expedition terminus sees on and from both sides

[ivory wasp]

Today I learned that cliff face of just the wrong slope can trap you and kill you going down it o_o

[finite scaffold]

Yea but that can be done anytime before the end of an exped without having to go through options menu anyways unless you aren't to the anomoly yet, which wouldn't help you anyway

[remote thunder]

would just help in the sense that you wouldn't be "trapped" in your expedition run without a way to get back

that said

[finite scaffold]

Ah, you mean like if you want to do like QS quests

[remote thunder]

if you end expedition, you unlock expedition terminus slots

[finite scaffold]

Okay, now I see some use for it

[remote thunder]

you can put items in, save, pause/options/return to primary

get those items into main save inventories, save, resume expedition

[finite scaffold]

Oh wait, you mean you can copy back more tech and items from the exped?

[remote thunder]

correct

[finite scaffold]

Oh wow, okay thats a muuuuch better use of it

[remote thunder]

remember, you're saving changes on the same physical save file

[finite scaffold]

But can't you still do that as long as you have the anomoly outside of the options menu?

I thought you could only transfers things over at the beginning and end

[remote thunder]

no, you need to end expedition

but ending != finishing

[willow steppe]

Dude I'm crashing

[gray mortar]

is there a way to sell reward modules for nanites in adift?

[junior wyvern]

I finally finished the expedition. Do I have to return to my main save before claiming the exclusive reward (the ship) or I claim it still from the expedition?

[remote thunder]

did you see this post <#nms-questions message>

[willow steppe]

Yup

[remote thunder]

and?

[junior wyvern]

^

[quaint urchin]

Nope. But you can collect the Larval Cores and refine those into Nanites. You can also scan all Fauna. If you started from your main save, go into the Discoveries Tab and look for planets where you scanned all of the Fauna on your main save and you can claim the Nanites for those while in the Expedition too! Check it...

That screen shot was from about 5 minutes after I started the Expedition. Look at all of those Nanites!

[junior wyvern]

Can anyone give me an answer lol

[remote thunder]

when you get iron vulture in expedition, you just unlocked it account wide - iow, you can goto quicksilver shop in any save under the same account, including the save you started expedition in, and claim the ship once per save.

patience is a virtue

[junior wyvern]

OO9OOOO great thank you

[junior wyvern]

LOL indeed

[gray mortar]

i've got all the nanites i need for that milestone, just trying to figure out if i can free up space for more milestones without trashing

[quaint urchin]

Oh, cool... Understood

I install and then dismantle them for the resources.

[remote thunder]

^

[keen ember]

so uh.. how do you fix the rendezvous 4 sideways gravity? jetpack is disabled because of the derelict freighters..

[sly sedge]

Turning off the multiplayer is one way to fix it.

[keen ember]

turning off multiplayer restored my jetpack and target sweep, gravity is still a bit.. sideways

[remote thunder]

save+reload from main menu after turning off multiplayer

[willow steppe]

I crash out over making bases

I love this base spot I get to hear the waves it's relaxing

[remote thunder]

have you tried clearing console cache

[keen ember]

game refused to let me get into my ship or place anything, here's to hoping i didnt get set too far back

[remote thunder]

autosave triggers every minute since the last save, so should be relatively fine

[keen ember]

yeah, loading back in im just in my ship hovering above rendezvous 4

[willow steppe]

Wrong channel

[turbid hearth]

Hmmm I wonder if the star born pheonix is worth copying...

[remote thunder]

in short, it's the same in everything as starborn runner, but doesnt have photonix core

[turbid hearth]

It's also way better than a large c class

That said I never saw the runner

[sly sedge]

Which is exactly why I wanted to copy my starborn runner into the expedition. I want that core in my Phoenix.

[remote thunder]

runner on the right

[turbid hearth]

Wait I can bring the ship back out with me?

[remote thunder]

the one you copied in expedition? sure, just need to scrap the one in primary first

[sly sedge]

No, but you can take the core out of the copy, and put it into the Expedition Terminus to take back.

[turbid hearth]

Ah, and the core even if not photonix is probably still worth "borrowing"

[sly sedge]

Ok, let me rephrase that. You CAN copy into the Expedition, and then copy that back out. It's just a bad idea though, because it'll copy over the original in the main save.

[remote thunder]

to clarify, you can do what they are asking; you decided not to, because you didn't want to scrap your existing runner

it won't copy over

it won't let you copy the same ship back into primary/expedition if it already exists

the copy button gets greyed out, unselectable

until you scrap the existing ship

[turbid hearth]

Unless it winds up better than my main?

[sly sedge]

I was told last night that it'll copy over it.

[remote thunder]

it won't copy over it.

if you're trying to copy something, that something cannot exist in the save you're trying to copy it to

for example

[turbid hearth]

Wait so I could, in theory at the end, nuke my pheonix take the wings off for parts and import the upgraded expedition variant?

[remote thunder]

if i started expedition and copied my prim save ship in, i couldn't copy it twice into exp unless i scrapped the first copy

[turbid hearth]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[remote thunder]

oh sorry - you're talking about vulture now

[turbid hearth]

??

[sly sedge]

No, we're talking about Runner.

[remote thunder]

nevermind - confused myself

in that case, yes, my original answer stands

exotics can't be salvaged for customization modules

[turbid hearth]

So I would be able to scrap my prime save pheonix for cash, and then bring the upgraded variant from the expedition back to prime?

[remote thunder]

yes, correct

[turbid hearth]

Sick, gonna fly the pheonix then

[remote thunder]

you could do this even before completing expedition

as soon as your phoenix in expedition is ready

[turbid hearth]

Yeah but then I wouldn't get all the lovely free cargo slots

[remote thunder]

no, i mean, as in, before claiming final reward, and all milestones

[turbid hearth]

Ah

[sly sedge]

You can't get the Phoenix directly in this Expedition, because the Anomaly is empty. The only way to bring it in, is to copy from main.

[remote thunder]

that's what i understood they were going to do yeah

[sly sedge]

Ok, then yeah.

[remote thunder]

prime as in, primary 🙂

[turbid hearth]

Yeah, I mean oh no, it was twice the cost to copy as buy

the horror

[slender crane]

What are the upcoming expedition reduxes again? I know we currently have adrift going.

[remote thunder]

nanites are easy to get on main

[turbid hearth]

I definitely need to transfer this backpack tho

[finite scaffold]

Aquarius and Cursed

[remote thunder]

next is liquidators, then aquarius then cursed

[finite scaffold]

Ah forgot one!

[turbid hearth]

This may be the single greatest backpack of all time

[sly sedge]

Cursed was my first one. I look forward to getting a second shot at it.

[remote thunder]

loved it

[finite scaffold]

I farmed so many QS in cursed, going to take it slooooowwww second time around

Wasnt too happy about Adrift because I couldn't get double QS

[turbid hearth]

Now to go hunt sentinels! Yay.......

[rare cliff]

good one

[turbid hearth]

planet one is "easy" then just repeat the process

(ignore that I only did it on the first world)

[finite scaffold]

Not too efficient, but it works if you have the patience

I have no said patience

[turbid hearth]

Oh you could farm the ropes from the penis worms!

[finite scaffold]

That is still so slow 😆

Unless you need the nanites for your exped, it's so much better just to buy tech packages from the black market guy in outlaw stations for easy 15k+ nanites in 30 min

[remote thunder]

tech/arms, both work

[finite scaffold]

Yea, gotta do both to get em quick. I buy em all out, start a mission and complete, come back, buy them all out and continue or move to a new outlaw system, but it's definitely one of the best ways to farm nanites

[rare cliff]

im way too impatient too lol, ill just stick with the ship they gave me

[finite scaffold]

I also buy all the smuggling items so I end up ahead on units too

[sly sedge]

An easy way to get nanites in the expedition is to look for runaway mould. There's often bases built around them, so you can search at the portal in the Anomaly.

[finite scaffold]

But then you have the task of refining the mould

[snow ruin]

I like having set up farms for Fusion Igniters or such on the main save to have for transferring over to the expedition save for quick and easy cash there

[finite scaffold]

How much does a full stack sell for?

[snow ruin]

156.000.000 or something like that, IIRC

[sly sedge]

A full stack turns into just under 2k nanites.

That's why I always take a full stack into the Expeditions with me.

[finite scaffold]

What in the world you need that many units for in exped?

[snow ruin]

Play money

[finite scaffold]

I bring a stack of unstable gel for 15m and I usually cant even spend that much 😆

[snow ruin]

As for nanites, there's the choice between nanites per slot, for which runaway mould is the best AFAIK, or nanites per time, of which some of the others are better

[finite scaffold]

If you're not bringing in tech you can always bring in x mods also

Without using an item slot

[sly sedge]

Better to have too many units than not enough.

[snow ruin]

Doesn't really matter if you bring along too much money to the expedition, since it'll always be brought back to the main save at the end anyways

[finite scaffold]

Stack or 2 of xmods for nanites is what I usually do

[sly sedge]

I've got over 1B units in the main save, so I store high value items for expeditions.

[finite scaffold]

I'm almost capped out on units again in my main save, I need to spend some

[ocean gorge]

Will there eventually be normal space stations with tech station personnel so I can sell tech for nanites? I want to copy my ship and MT, but so far I’ve only found abandoned stations (initial one, and my first hop towards R1, since the shuttle doesn’t have much LY range)

[remote thunder]

nope

[ocean gorge]

So my tech is useless?

[remote thunder]

suggestion: get a sentinel ship from the starter system - there's a dissonant planet there

[junior wyvern]

Hello!
I copied the Iron Vulture from the now finished Expedition. If I salvage the ship to the space station, can I copy the ship with nanites again? Since it doesn't let me do it due to the fact the ship is already copied.

I want to know this so I can decide to salvage it or not

[remote thunder]

since you had it equipped when you finished expedition, yes

[junior wyvern]

Also I copied it with nanites, it's not the claimed reward

[remote thunder]

no problem

[junior wyvern]

Ok so basically I can salvage it and copy it over again?

[remote thunder]

yep

[junior wyvern]

Thank you lots

[remote thunder]

salvage for engines, copy, salvage for wings, copy, etc

[junior wyvern]

Gotchas

[turbid hearth]

Is the portal to station in previous systems, previous sytem, or station visits?

[remote thunder]

not sure i understand the question but a station teleporter destination is added when you land in the station of the station. that said, don't rely on space station destinations to remain there forever: rely on base computers instead

[ivory wasp]

So there's an objective to recover a crashed ship. It tells me to use the signal booster to find a crashed ship but every site I've been to is empty?

[turbid hearth]

That answers the question.

[remote thunder]

you need to be in a gek/korvax/vykeen system - check discoveries or galaxy map

[turbid hearth]

I was thinking of using the tele in the anomaly to get back to system two for a calm dissonant world. but I hadn't landed in the local station yet

[remote thunder]

sorry, was answering another question elsewhere. it has happened in expedition that devs have made it so that rendezvous stations are added to teleporter list by the player just visiting the system itself.

double check your list anyway

[turbid hearth]

yeah looks like I skipped like all of the basic stations(wonder why)

[remote thunder]

always visit rdv stations

always

[ivory wasp]

Thanks that worked!

[turbid hearth]

rdv? Oh rendevous!

[ivory wasp]

I just stumbled on to an abandoned freight and then bumped in to another player on board 😄

... And then I popped over to the nearest water planet and happened to enter atmosphere right on top of a sunken freighter. It's my day

[lapis forge]

y'know I actually packed like 30 suspicious tech mods to get nanites... for the adrift expedition

[low jackal]

I feel for your lost

[lapis forge]

and do you have access to the anomaly during the expedition? or can you only use it after it's done?

[ivory wasp]

You can use the anomaly to get transfer items but there's no NPCs/services aboard

[lapis forge]

aight. Guess I could've checked if I could call before asking tho

[ivory wasp]

nanites are easy though, just get like 20 whisper eggs. They're 50 nanites apiece when you process 'em

Game also gives you enough goop for a few hundred nanites. I think just doing the egg quest and cooking goo alone will get you there

#nms-expedition message If you've scanned all Fauna on many planets in your primary save, you can also go to the Discoveries Tab, go through the list of planets there, and claim those same Nanites in the Expedition. Check the post I linked for how many Nanites I got this way in the first 5 minutes of the Expedition.

There were probably a lot more I could have claimed, but what I got was plenty to do the Expedition so I stopped.

[random escarp]

does anyone have a method for finding abondoned outposts

[slender sphinx]

Hello, I claimed the rewards from the milestone I've completed from the previous expedition. Is it safe to delete the old expedition save file now?

or do I need to do something to transfer the rewards

[ashen shore]

Are you talking abt abandoned buildings?

[random escarp]

ya

[ashen shore]

Normally it would be through using nav data to purchase charts but this expedition doesn’t have that bc you’re alone.

The only way would be using a signal booster, or finding an observatory/beacon and getting lucky.

Some of the milestones will take you to some.

At least mine did.

[random escarp]

👨‍🦼

[ashen shore]

Trying to farm some nanites from the eggs?

[random escarp]

yep lol i accidentally sold them

[ashen shore]

Whoops lol

[random escarp]

had 9

ig its fine though since i have to chart more planets

and a chart thing is usually at the buildings

[ashen shore]

Some of the planets I went to had a ton of buildings in close proximity so you might be able to find another relatively easily.

One of the milestones is charting waypoints and that will take u to buildings.

[random escarp]

oh nice

[radiant geode]

after you warp the first time. anomaly isn't available in the first system IIRC

[lapis forge]

yeah I got onto it. Thx for the advice for next time tho

[manic elk]

Anybody have a glyph address for a system with two robotic lifeforms to fuffill that one mission? I know it's a long shot, but I don't want to have to repair all my warp drives just to get to a blue star system that MIGHT have some

[grave axle]

question: Is the Starborn Runner that you get from completing Omega the same as the Starborn Phoenix that they are giving away until Dec 19th? It says to claim it at the quicksilver syntesis companion but I am not able to see it (I have the starborn runner from the expedition already). Thanks!

[low jackal]

the mission hint is a lie
uncharted red system is your best shot

look for planet with only 2 animal species

[manic elk]

thank you

the real liar isn't the altas it's the tips

[open dagger]

They are different cosmetics, similar tech

[finite scaffold]

I dont know if I'd go so far as to call it a lie - that you can't find synthetic fauna on blue planets - I definitely did without an issue. But they definitely should have mentioned red stars also

[ashen shore]

Fr, My new best friend lmao

[finite scaffold]

I love it

[ashen shore]

He likes head pats and car batteries

[finite scaffold]

Whos a good synthetic trade terminal? YOU ARE!

[ashen shore]

Who’s mini a 1.0 space station? You boy!!!

[finite scaffold]

I was thinking space station at first, but the eye in the center makes it seem more like a terminal

[ashen shore]

They had a baby

[finite scaffold]

Hahahaha

[ashen shore]

The worst part of this expedition is initializing and all of a sudden you’re UGLY

[long tinsel]

Question, i did the sunken freighter step and claimed the reward while i had an A class sentinel ship as my ship, it said it updated to S class, but its still at A class, is this a bug?

[red shale]

Is there anywhere to break starhips down in this expedition?

[finite scaffold]

Nope

[ashen shore]

Bruh I’ve been waiting for these animals to poop for like 5 mins omg

Ok finally

[red shale]

Dang....was hoping to try to go back and forth making a copy of the iron vulture and breaking it down into parts....

[finite scaffold]

You can do that after completing the expedition as long as it was your main ship at the end

Copy for nanites, scrap for parts, rinse and repeat

Just dont claim the QS one before you start scrapping

[red shale]

But there's not where in this expedition to scrap I thought?

[finite scaffold]

Correct, after the expedition on your main file you can copy your last used ship from expedition, then once you scrap it you can claim it again

[red shale]

Oooooooo got it....then when I'm done scrapping I can claim the QS one?

[finite scaffold]

If thats what you want, yes

For 2800 nanites you can scrap it for parts as many times as you want

[red shale]

Nice. I just want to be able to make it a different color....

[finite scaffold]

Yep, that's why I've scrapped two of each part of it

Gonna make mine bright and flashy

[red shale]

Got it. So I need to scrap two of each part to rebuild it? I've never built a ship before..

[finite scaffold]

Nope, one of each part

1 wing, 1 cockpit, 1 engine

I did two in case I wanted to scrap the bright one for a different color at a later date

Hate being tied down to my first color choice

[red shale]

Got it. I have a good number of nanites, so maybe I'll scrap a few of each just because.

[finite scaffold]

That was my logic too. I'm sitting on like 650k nanites and not spending em, might as well throw away like 17k nanites

[red shale]

I'm only sitting on like 100k, but I have a good number of runaway mold farms so no worries there. Did you then collect the QS one after you scrapped? Or do you not need to do that?

[quaint urchin]

Yes, it's a bug. I played for 10 hours on day one to find a A-Class Sentinel I liked and it's still an A-Class... Ugh! Please go report it.

!hg

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

[long tinsel]

thanks i did, kinda sucks 😕

[finite scaffold]

I'm sitting on the QS one for the future if I so choose. No reason to claim it if I already have one rebuilt and colored from parts

[red shale]

That's what I was wondering as well. Makes sense...

[ashen shore]

Just finished it. I liked the narrative of this one. Just being alone.

I was thinking like when it stopped you and just had you stare off into space. Like how would you feel? Being alone in the universe. Like truly alone. Would u think it was heaven? Hell? Somewhere else?

||I think it was telling a story about an iteration that mistakenly initialized in an already purged version of the simulation. Something that should not be, in a place that should not be.||

[random escarp]

I completed the expedition

I was about to give up on it the other day lol

[ashen shore]

Good job fren

[open dagger]

Grats!! Persistance pays .

[ashen shore]

One of my fav things about this game is the feel of isolation. Like you’re just having a unique experience and it’s 100% your own.

[open dagger]

Agree, i liked it as well and had a similar feeling at the end..

..and then my settlement messages started popping up the minute i cleared at the Anomaly LOL

[ashen shore]

Lmao

I was saying in another channel. I hadn’t seen anyone on the anomaly since before omega. Then I figured out that because I sold my xbox and bought a ps5 I forgot to buy the ps plus for multiplayer lmao.

[open dagger]

Haaha - yeah, i had switched off multiplayer during the expeditions to keep the buggies down but may switch it back on. I enjoyed seeing all the character customizations and ship builds. Pretty cool that you can jump back and forth

[random escarp]

Do u guys know if the game is cross save?

[rapid bear]

remember everyone: don't be as stupid as me! (I started the wrong save and thought everything reset)

[open dagger]

Yes

[rapid bear]

pretty sure there is a button to activate it

[random escarp]

Ok good, thx everyone and gn

[open dagger]

You can turn on cross save at the login screen

[silent knot]

it's still in beta, not everyone can access it

did see a lot of new people getting access to it recently

[open dagger]

Ahh.. that ^^

[random escarp]

I need to buy it on steam since i play it through game pass im wasting money because nms is the only thing on gamepass i play right now

[rapid bear]

isn't it that button when you click play

[ashen shore]

Oh nvm someone already said

[rapid bear]

why can u scan literally every hazardous flora except for this

diurnal means day, right?

[rapid bear]

I just realized

in phase 4

one of the milestones upgrades starship level

I transferred my S level starship tho

so

what happens 😭

also I got an egg, if I hatch it will it still be transferrable?

this bot is sentient but sentient with the brain of someone on drugs 😭

bruv is going crazy

[muted granite]

Oh snap, the rare and difficult to acquire X-class ship!! /s 😛

[sly sedge]

Sadly you can't transfer eggs or pets.

[rapid bear]

[rapid bear]

r u serious or joking

[meager scroll]

Joking, starship classes max out at S

[rapid bear]

so then what happens

[meager scroll]

Most probably nothing

[rapid bear]

;-;

[sly sedge]

During the Omega Redux, I had the most adorable little green blob, and now I'm on a quest to find a similar pet in my main save.

[muted granite]

Joking; I ended my message with /s and “:P” to try help make that more clear, but good you checked just in case 😉

[rapid bear]

I feel threatened with the number of emojis (2 is a lot within 2 messages ;/)

[rapid bear]

can you transfer money and/or nanites

[meager scroll]

At the end of the expedition the currencies transfer over to main save the exped was originally started from

[rapid bear]

oh

oK

[sly sedge]

If you started the expedition from an existing save, the units, nanites, and quicksilver are all transferred back to your main save automatically when you finish.

[meager scroll]

The items that you don't put in transfer box will be sold / converted into currencies and transferred as well

[muted granite]

Man. I am a threatening messenger then. 😅🥸

[rapid bear]

this makes sense fr (hatch egg)

[muted granite]

Oooh. Someone gave you a modded piece of junk. No me gusta…

[rapid bear]

no

it is broken cuz of a glitch

lmao

[sly sedge]

Thing I just learned about the transfer box is that once you finish the last milestone, but don't end the expedition, you can use the transfer box multiple times by going back and forth between main and expo saves.

[rapid bear]

seems fine

an eyeball just tried to eat me 😔

[ashen shore]

Abyssal horror?

[rapid bear]

y e s

[ashen shore]

Fun 🙂

[rapid bear]

anyone else's ear get absolutely slaughtered when entering your freighter

and then 1% of the time u can't even hear the noise

[tame heath]

Yes

[rapid bear]

lmao

[tame heath]

Every time man

[austere meteor]

anyone know the class of the Cursed Frigate? is it just a reskin?

[wise drum]

Anyone know why nmsu wont ply on my computer

I mean it opens when I click start it loads and then just goes off

[long tinsel]

should be s class, and it seems like its a support with balanced stats

[shy geyser]

what is a "Restored Freighter Command" Mission reward?

[shy geyser]

My buddy is having the same issue.

[blazing fossil]

Ask in #nms-questions

[snow ruin]

From what I understand; getting a freighter. Do note that I've not played the expedition, so take this with a grain of salt

[feral scaffold]

This might be a bit of a dumb question but if I start the expedition on a PD save file, do I lose everything if I die?

[shy geyser]

like go into it FROM a PD save, or start a new expedition save and make it PD?

[feral scaffold]

The former. Basically I started my first PD playthrough just before the expedition started so I have a relatively new PD save file. I've already completed the expedition on another save file so I'm not worried if I complete it or not but I think it would be fun to play through the expedition on PD so I can get more resources

I'm just not sure what happens if I die during the expedition

[amber mountain]

can i just copy my current ship into the expedition now since i have access to the anomaly

[shy geyser]

When you go into the expedition form a pre existing save, it makes a branch save, and its essentially like having an all new character and save. I don't think if oyu die in the expedition on that save, that your real character will die back in the main game. When you come into the expedition form your main save it also changes the difficulty settings, so i dont thin you'll be in pD mode when you go in, unless you change to that after your in there. I DO NOT KNOW THIS FOR SURE THOUGH.

[feral scaffold]

(you can. It costs nanites though. Something like 2,800 nanites I think)

[amber mountain]

oh

expensive

[shy geyser]

I don't thin kyou can take ships into the expedition, just bring one out as far as i know. and as mentioned above, when you bring one out, you have to pay #2,500 nanites in the main game to claim it form the expedition terminal into your main game save.

[amber mountain]

oh

is there a way to make finding ruins easier?

[feral scaffold]

It is but actually if you scan all the fauna in a planet and submit the research you usually get enough nanites in one go to cover it. That's what I usually do.

[feral scaffold]

Hmmm okay, feels like a bit of a risk

[shy geyser]

buy chart is usually the way, i dont know if thats an option in this expedition though. you get them from the guy on the botom floor of stations.

[feral scaffold]

Or you can use a scanner on an exocraft

[gaunt lake]

My ears tend to get slaughtered in general. Had to turn the game down to 20%

[shy geyser]

yeah, though i dont think it would be a problem, i dotn know for sure, and its a rough one to find out thats not the case haha

[amber mountain]

signal booster ended up doing the job

[gaunt lake]

It is not. All stations are abandoned, which means they use the abandoned variant of the pre-NEXT layout

[amber cave]

Please someone remind me, do you get a ghost freighter or frigate from the expedition? I hope it's a freighter as is still don't have one in my main save and really need one, but every time i get the "save freighter from the pirates" event after warping to new system, the freighter in question is some ugly af c class abomination that i don't want

[gaunt lake]

Frigate

[amber cave]

...

[remote thunder]

only 1 capital freighter design per system - always exit ship in station before warping out until the next rescue battle triggers; when it does, and you don't like the freighter design you're being tasked to rescue, simply pause/options/reload restore point, and warp to a different inhabited system this time. repeat till you find a system that has a design you like, then farm it to get it

[wintry void]

Or forget capital freighters and get a system freighter

[amber mountain]

how do i deal with the extreme radiation on a derelict freighter

trying to get dereliction

[remote thunder]

you shouldn't be getting extreme radiation hazard on a derelict freighter mission

extreme cold at worst

emergency heater units are scattered around, a flame icon on your visor

[amber mountain]

about that

planet's surface?

[remote thunder]

did you spawn this derelict freighter mission yourself?

[amber mountain]

i just found it

[remote thunder]

no, you need to spawn it yourself

[amber mountain]

oh

[feral scaffold]

@remote thunder I don't suppose you know about permadeath expedition runs? I'm new to playing a permadeath playthrough and wondered what happens if I die during the expedition? Presumably I lose everything and have to start again.

[amber mountain]

it was the planet

[remote thunder]

@amber mountain i'd suggest leaving, and completing+claiming phase 4's fathom below milestone, then disable multiplayer, exit ship in the space station, save+reload from main menu. goto space, use emergency signal scanner item, pulse drive until hailed

[amber mountain]

what

[remote thunder]

existing save's difficulty preset doesn't influence or carry over into an expedition run started from that save; expedition always has its own individual difficulty settings

[amber mountain]

im just doing random parts of the phase that i can

[remote thunder]

that's okay - but this milestone, dereliction, can be easily completed if you complete the other mentioned milestone first, because part of its reward is the consumable item needed to spawn derelict freighter missions

[feral scaffold]

Oh great okay, so I'm good to play the expedition and it's safe for me to die? Obviously I'll try not to

[remote thunder]

yep won't affect your primary save

[amber mountain]

let me just get beyond the reach

what the

where can i find adifferent one

im struggling to go onto this

[remote thunder]

then disable multiplayer, exit ship in the space station, save+reload from main menu.

that's the first thing you need to do

those derelict freighters near a planet aren't supposed to be there

because they're there, that's why you get skewed gravity

[amber mountain]

alright i'll go land on the anomaly

[remote thunder]

not in anomaly i would say

i would suggest in the system's space station

[amber mountain]

alr

[gaunt lake]

@amber mountain For a bit of context as to why they're there, if I recall from what I've seen in other places about it, someone used a modded game to spawn them in manually to mess up other players' runs

[remote thunder]

iirc it's possible to trick the game into spawning them near atmos if you manage to get emergency signal scanner to trigger it close to a planet

as in, pulsing towards a planet

[gaunt lake]

Three in one spot, all persisted?

[amber mountain]

do i keep the multiplayer disabled?

[remote thunder]

yeah, that's a bit harder to think about and explain - i assume that multiple players in the same instance did it

[remote thunder]

yep

from here on out, i'd strongly recommend leaving it disabled

till you finish.

[gaunt lake]

I disabled multiplayer on this expedition right from the start for the atmosphere

Since it's a lifeless universe

[remote thunder]

i'm 99% of the time a solo player, i almost never have these "weird issues"

some of my favorite places are in uncharted systems, where there's only animal/plant life
