Galaxy map

[remote thunder]

there you go

[livid drift]

I think I see the issue- I was using Expedition route instead of current mission

HERE WE GO AGAIN

...it was in the starting system the whole time

[remote thunder]

definitely, always keep in mind that there's those two, but the first is more relevant to rendezvous systems

[livid drift]

not sure if that's different for everyone but aaaaaa

[remote thunder]

can be yes

[livid drift]

It was even on the trippy planet.

...lo and behold, I am going into the breach and I didn't even know they would use that phrasing

OH BOY TIME FOR EGGS

[remote thunder]

🥳

[livid drift]

guess I should make sure the boltcaster is up first

[remote thunder]

pretty much any game generated building will have whispering egg clusters

you don't necessarily need to do combat with them to get eggs

[livid drift]

Yeah, you have to like... dig a hole, grab egg, DIG MORE and then wait

[remote thunder]

i often just shoot the egg, grab the core, and jetpack on top of a building, shoot an egg on the other side, repeat

[livid drift]

Side note, I remember hearing that you only need one of the RGB drives because the highest one covers all the other functions- which one is it, if that's true?

[remote thunder]

sometimes you can even kite them from one side of the building to the other end, then quickly melee jetpack back again, and get more cores

[remote thunder]

correct; it goes in tiers so to speak; so the next tier always accumulates functionality of previous tier. so emeril drive allows access to green stars, but also red stars; same goes for indium drive; allows access to blue, green and red

[livid drift]

In this case, should I just install Indium?

[remote thunder]

yeah, when we're pressured for tech slots, we just have indium drive

[livid drift]

oh goobly I have to find emeril first

[woeful flare]

yeah, unless you have Emeril you'll have to process through each drive type

[remote thunder]

not necessarily

[livid drift]

I kind of wish it was easier to search for materials/etc in the catalogue

[remote thunder]

for example, sus packets arms would most likely get you ship upgrade modules like positron ejector infraknife or cyclotron ballista; installing and dismantling those pretty much always drops 125 cadmium+1 wiring loom

so that's your emeril drive, without ever setting foot on a red star system

for indium drive, it gets a little trickier and more rng based

buried caches is the way here

if you were absolutely trying to bypass the "system", right

buried caches can drop emeril; which is our indium drive right there.

buried caches can spawn on almost any planet in yellow star systems

[livid drift]

maybe I'll start with the sus packets, or see if this planet has buried caches

[remote thunder]

in inhabited systems, with the exception of planets with rusted metal or gold in resource list, they all do

sus packets in exp13 are available in station trade terminals

[livid drift]

...I love how there's 4 communications things near where I landed all expressing confusion at the sequence. Me too...

Yup, I remember seeing those

[remote thunder]

normally, in non exp13, we'd just get c-class modules from station for cadmium

but since we can't, we "needed" a diff way

[livid drift]

"this planet is toxic, I bet it smells like a fart" (ammonia deposits) "...not wrong"

I was going to express revulsion/confusion but they seem pretty nice, I take that back

[toxic mortar]

I need to start still.

I'm still salty my old expeditions aren't on my account even though they are linked.

[livid drift]

Got a warped harvester

Half my Emeril!

[toxic mortar]

Congrats!

[livid drift]

what is this, the planet of freaky yet wholesome creatures...

...gets lost doing stuff

"here's something with a GIANT SHOVEL ON ITS FACE. they eat dirt and are great caretakers." "see those wiggling things popping out of the dirt? They're basically a found family"

I kind of want to make a base here just to see the beasties again

[remote thunder]

do it 🙂 remember that you can also get the glyph address and portal back later

[dawn sandal]

playing on pc nms version and i am getting a bug from shooting my pistol at the creature canistars and its teleporting me into space and then i press a button on my controller and i get tp back very finicky and yes im playing with an xbox controller

[sullen fulcrum]

Did you happen to fly very far away from the space station to find that derelict?

I've had that cause weird stuff like that for me too, also making it impossible to aim with anything except the mining laser

[remote thunder]

did you spawn that derelict freighter yourself?

[quaint urchin]

I had an issue with my Derelict Freighter on the new save I started the Expedition with. When I would shoot I would sometimes be among the stars briefly. It was shocking! During the save I started from an existing save I did this Milestone in the 5th Rendezvous and didn't have the issue. No idea how far I was from the space station. Oh yea, Multiplayer was off on both saves.

[remote thunder]

so weird - i guess i'll start recommending doing derelict freighter mission in non-rdv systems just in case

it really shouldn't take more than 10s of pulse driving after triggering the emergency signal scanner, not enough to get you too far away

[livid drift]

Is there a way to upgrade cadmium to emeril? I feel like there is

[remote thunder]

nope

install emeril drive using cadmium, get emeril from green star system

[livid drift]

heck. so close.

[sullen fulcrum]

yeah when it happened to me, i was looking for an organic frigate and happened upon a derelict on the way back, so I had pulsed far enough to cause floating point precision errors

[livid drift]

Though now I think I'm addicted to buying sus arms and deciphering/dismantling them XD

[remote thunder]

yeah, i can see why that'd have happened, since you were biofrigate hunting

[tame heath]

Is there any way to sell upgrades for nanites in the expedition?

Given that all the stations are abandoned

[main wyvern]

Yeppers

[quaint urchin]

No

[tame heath]

😔

[quaint urchin]

Larval Cores, Hadal Cores refine into Nanites. You can install the modules and deconstruct them for the resources though.

[remote thunder]

radiant shards, inverted mirrors, vile spawn, fleshy rope

the goop chain: cursed dust refines to goop, goop refines to fluids, fluids to slime, slime to mould, mould to nanites

[quaint urchin]

Do you need Nanites or just looking to get rid of modules?

[tame heath]

I need nanites

[quaint urchin]

Did you start from your primary save via the Terminal? If so, you can go to the Discoveries Tab and claim Fauna rewards for all Fauna where you scanned them all on planets in your primary save.

[tame heath]

I did start from my primary so I’ll do that thank you!

[quaint urchin]

This was like 5 minutes after starting the Expedition:

Look at all of those Nanites!

[tame heath]

Enough to duplicate a ship (or multi tool)

[tall vector]

guys what's the planet of the last rendezvous in Adrift redux?

[quaint urchin]

#nms-expedition message check this

[livid drift]

I forgot- so as long as a planet doesn't mention gold or silver in its resources (????), it will have whispering eggs?

I think I just stuck 3 facts in a blender to make 1 nonsense

[remote thunder]

no, all planets in inhabited systems will have buildings with whispering eggs - "not gold" was about buried caches earlier

[livid drift]

there we go I realized that after the fact

looks ferocious, is wholesome...

[remote thunder]

so good

NMS ❤️

😂

[livid drift]

teeny tiny head, has fangs, apparently vegetarian and very friendly

[remote thunder]

bahaha

happy to interact, yep

[livid drift]

HOLD UP

[remote thunder]

and it can cloak too

[livid drift]

it's a FUNKY DILLO

guess I'm sneaking a base onto here too if I find what I want (and the sentinels don't get me)

[remote thunder]

have fun

bed time for me

[livid drift]

aaaand there go the sentinels.

👋

[livid drift]

okay, me vs the eggs/brood, round 1. FEAR

I GOT ONE how long does it take for them to go away...

THEY GOT IN MY PIT!!! I hid in my ship maybe I'm ok now

update: I am not OK. they are circling and laughing at me

[undone ridge]

Is there a place I can read up on the lore behind the current expedition?

[livid drift]

okay the perk of swarm being next to a building is that they decide you're not worth it if you run into it

[tame heath]

sentinel moment

[livid drift]

I did learn to dodge the sentinels in a hole! Didn't work for the swarm though, they freaking followed me

[balmy current]

iron vulture looks so damn cool

probably my favourite ship of all

[thorn wagon]

There is an ancient ruin in the current expedition where there is a freighter near the planet that is bugging the gravity at the ancient ruin.

Gravity is being set to down for the freighter rather than down for the planet's surface.

[sly sedge]

Yeah. One or more trolls keep summoning derelict freights in the atmo at important sites. It's causing serious problems for a lot of people.

One solution is to go back to the station, and try again with multiplayer off. That'll get rid of the freighters.

[static tapir]

is this the right kind of star to find robotic lifeforms?

[low jackal]

no
mission hint lies
you want to look for system without race symbol (aka uncharted system)
Most red system will be uncharted
planet with only 2 or 3 lifeform will be robotic life form

[balmy current]

robotic planet I got had 4

and the mission led me to the system with it

[static tapir]

oh come on is this not a synthetic creature

[low jackal]

nah its an exotic

[static tapir]

is there any way to tell what planet may have them?

i cant seem to find them anywhere

nevermind thanks sylveon

[indigo falcon]

what system is that in, and what rendezvous system is that near, if you can take a picture of that in the galaxy map?

(this could help other players)

[static tapir]

ill show all that when i head out

can we take tamed creatures back to main save

[indigo falcon]

no, unfortunately not. best to put a base computer down on the planet with the creature type and go back to it from the main save after the expedition is over

[static tapir]

ooh you can go back to bases?

[indigo falcon]

yes all of your expedition-created bases remain!

[static tapir]

oh sweet

yeah ill be coming back here

ill give the coords n stuff to everyone

robot puppy my beloved

[ocean gorge]

Hold on let me cleanup the pic

[indigo falcon]

yeah they have a different system in the pins, I figure if we have more than one, that's nice for players

and I knew about this robot horses named system but not where it was exactly

[ocean gorge]

For sure, having several options is always nice

Do we need an Indium drive to complete the expedition?

[indigo falcon]

no.

not if you get the robohorses in somewhere other than a blue star system

[static tapir]

hopefully has all the needed info

[indigo falcon]

fizz: how many ly from which rendezvous?

and what color star system is it?

[ocean gorge]

Oh thank goodness
I got enough cadmium to make the emeril drive
But I didn’t know all the station were going to be abandoned, and that we couldn’t sell tech for nanites before starting. So I refined a bunch of shards so I had enough to copy my MT. I could copy my ship over but I have an interceptor, and at this point if I can finish with the interceptor I’d rather not copy my ship unless I really have to

[indigo falcon]

I mean you could go mine some emeril and go buy the inium drive, it only costs 200nanites, so that's what, 4 radiant shards. if you really wanted it

but nah you don't need to

[static tapir]

it looks red i think? im unsure how to tell

as for how many light years from rendezvous

god im gonna have to travel far and my starship can only jump about one star distance at a time 😭

ok yeah its red because there's cadminum

[indigo falcon]

(the discovery tab shows you the star colour)

so it might be not that far from r2 system then? sweet

[static tapir]

ill send the glyphs in a second

if thats helpful at all

[indigo falcon]

I dunno how useful that would be to players tbh but it can't hurt either

[static tapir]

how do you get yeast from faecium?

nvm

ok how do you actually do this one

i interacted with the beacon

it didnt seem to do anything

[sly sedge]

You have to interact with a total of 6 beacons.

[static tapir]

i know, but this one i interacted with just didnt contribute to the total

[static tapir]

can you sell tech packages for nanites somehow in this expedition

[sly sedge]

Unfortunately not.

Gotta rely on the stuff you can refine into nanites.

[static tapir]

makes sense

do we get to bring our multi tool and starship back

[sly sedge]

If you want, you can copy them over to your main save through the Expedition Terminus.

[gloomy vector]

I’m sure this question has been asked a ton, but is there a system/planet along the expedition route that has the 2 robotic animals to scan?

[sly sedge]

Just make sure you have the one you want to copy selected before switching back to the main save.

[gloomy vector]

I am struggling. Feels like I’ve fully cataloged a dozen blue systems

[sly sedge]

Someone said that you need an unmapped blue system.

[gloomy vector]

Unmapped? As in it isn’t on the galaxy map at all?

Or you have to be the first to discover it? Because I’ve definitely done the later.

[atomic estuary]

uncharted

That means a system which doesn't have any of the main 3 lifeforms, no economy, no conflict, you can see it on the galaxy map

System will also have no space station or NPC

95% of red star systems are uncharted so if you just pick a nearest red star there is a solid chance it'll be uncharted

Not all uncharted systems will have mechafauna, but mechafauna can only spawn on planets in uncharted systems

[gloomy vector]

Ok the game is telling me blue start for synthetic life? You’re just saying any uncharted system is ok?

[atomic estuary]

Yes

A good chunk of blue star systems is also uncharted but not nearly as many as red star

Idk why game insists on blue star

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[static tapir]

i wish nms had sand dune planets

honestly surprised that's not a thing already

[gloomy vector]

I instantly found my first hexagonal planet.

That was wild.

[thorn wagon]

so, I died on the side of this mountain spire, high up

and then died again

i guess I should just reload?

Is there an easier way to do this elevation quest? I found a place that is 1200 high, but not a 1400 so far

[misty plinth]

2nd rendezvous happens on a planet with some peaks that are at 1400+ and you can land (fly really slow) if not on top of them then close to the top.

Alternatively you can check the teleporter for bases that advertise 1400 and use it to get to one.

[static tapir]

can you feasibly bring back to your main save some unlocked tech modules

i have tons that im not using

and could really use those nanites

(on my main save

[ocean garnet]

Where can I find robotic creatures? I've been searching a bunch of uninhabited systems

[static tapir]

#nms-expedition message

this may help you

near rendezvous 3

[misty plinth]

@static tapir You can move tech and materials over to your primary save using the expedition terminal. Just don't use the terminal to close out the expedition until you are absolutely finished with it. Instead use the options menu to return to your primary save and retrieve your goods there.

[static tapir]

does closing out the expedition immediately reward the stuff to your main save? and thank you

[ocean garnet]

Wait, a synthetic life forms detected marker just showed up. I seriously don't think that was there before

[misty plinth]

If you just close out the expedition at the terminal without using it to transfer items your expedition will get an audit then a summary report. You will receive units, nanites and QuickSilver on your primary save based on what you did and things you accumulated. Any items earned (such as the final friggate) will need to be claimed at the QuickSilver vendor on the anomaly.

[static tapir]

thanks a lot!

[thorn wagon]

I can't find my grave on the side of this mountain

it is far enough up that it doesn't spawn in to look at until I am up high enough to die from the fall

[ocean garnet]

I found some!

[misty plinth]

Mountains can be a challenge. If you can start from a vantage point above your grave you can mine out pockets or create chunks to slide down to.

Working from below is harder but can be done in a similar fashion - building up terrain ledges from below to jet pack up to and scaling the side that way.

[static tapir]

damnn do we get to bring this back too?

unfortunaster

[ocean garnet]

Is it not possible to save during a derelict?

How long do they normally take?

[misty plinth]

If you bother to open all containers 40 minutes to an hour - if you only scan the logs and rush the terminals significantly less

[sly sedge]

First time took me about an hour, but now that I've done it a few times, I can sometimes clear them in close to half an hour.

In general though, I still give myself an hour to do them. If I have something to do in less than an hour, I put it off until tomorrow.

[formal cape]

I found mine in empty systems

[static tapir]

ok this gets to be brought to main save right

surely...

[misty plinth]

You collect if from the QuickSilver terminal on your primary save as an expedition reward.

[static tapir]

sweeeet

[misty plinth]

It's a nice frigate too - very useful

[static tapir]

thisll be my first completed expedition so thats nice

it gave me so much loot

still bewildered on how someone managed to get a derelict freighter here

like how

[misty plinth]

We can hope those responsible receive a sock full of Lignite for their efforts 😝

[young flame]

Is it possible to make the expedition change the location of current objective

I need to go to a portal and I have a derelict ship causing me to go sideways because of a gravitational anomaly making this part of the expedition literally impossible

[misty plinth]

@young flame Go back to the space station in the system - turn off multiplayer in the menu - hop out of your ship to create a restore point - log out of the game then back in and proceed to the portal. Should be fine.

[static tapir]

are the derelicts caused by multiplayer somehow?

[misty plinth]

Players are summoning them in for the community to "enjoy"

[young flame]

How can they even be summoned?

[static tapir]

probably by abusing the signal scanner thing

because the signal scanner just has you pulse jump

and then spawns in a derelict when it finishes

[misty plinth]

You find out before the expedition end

[young flame]

And this area keeps crashing my game

[static tapir]

yeah it crashed mine too

are you at the 1st rendezvous

or 2nd i dont remember which one it was

[young flame]

My ship is at too low launch percent so can't be called either

[misty plinth]

@fizz I would say your theory is a very good one

[young flame]

1st

[static tapir]

just a guess based on how i noticed the mechanic working

could be wrong

[young flame]

Nevertheless an annoying af mechanic that is

[misty plinth]

Also did you happen to see what is for sale at the terminals?

[static tapir]

yes... i kinda wanna mass buy them

and then bring them back to main save

[young flame]

Eh?

I just saw errors

[static tapir]

because those are tough to get your hands on

[static tapir]

since afaik the derelicts dont have like an actual location, theyre spawned when the emergency signal scanner is consumed after a few seconds of pulse jumping

[misty plinth]

And they are dirt cheap in the expedition

[static tapir]

so im guessing people just got close to a planet and then spawned one in

im going to test this theory

on a random ass planet

[thorn wagon]

it sucks to lose out on rewards I got for season stuff because I can't find my grave

i died once, then died trying to retrieve my body, then i got my grave back from each of the following deaths but died several times

i've spent 2 hours trying to do this bc I invested a lot of hours into mining resources and doing expedition milestones

no, I am where you go through the portal, I did not go through the portal yet

things that make survival games unfun: bodies being in unretrievable positions

I ran this expedition from my main save, can I reinitialize from my main save?

[static tapir]

ok my theory is correct

[thorn wagon]

I broke my current objective anyway, so I don't think I can continue the expedition

[static tapir]

i didnt pull off the glitch completely but that is indeed how it works, you probably just need to know the exact timing of the thing

[thorn wagon]

I was supposed to go through the portal, and I left to do this side objective, and now the waypoint for the portal location doesn't exist when I reselect that quest

[misty plinth]

@thorn wagon I do not think you can exit the expedition at the terminal and reinitialize it.

[misty plinth]

This is something several other players are experiencing as well - I haven't found a solution posted for it.

[static tapir]

its doneee

[thorn wagon]

so I can't continue the expedition, and I can't restart the expedition, so I am just screwed in general

like, even if I kept mining and such, I can't get back to the main objective it seems

I could restart with a new save file, but only some of the rewards would go back onto my main account

For a first expedition experience, this has not been very satisfying

[woven hull]

How do I get my stuff I put into the expedition terminal before starting the expedition from a save?

[thorn wagon]

does this expedition even have an all saves thing? I was mostly interested in the freighter and the ship

[misty plinth]

You have to warp at least one time then summon the anomaly and reach the terminal to collect the items.

[thorn wagon]

do I even get to keep the buildable posters?

[woven hull]

Well that’s just shit

[thorn wagon]

the vulture?

interesting...

so if I look at the expedition tab, the rewards listed for the expedition save are what are available to both?

that is good to know

Still very vexing that I can't get back to the main objective just because I took a detour

not having a waypoint doesn't seem like a skill problem

[misty plinth]

Did you at least file a bug report?

[thorn wagon]

on the website?

I might do so in the morning. I am not sure if the website reports can actually get players any help with issues or if they just get looked at for fixing in-game bugs

[misty plinth]

[quaint urchin]

When you die, unless you are on Permadeath, the game only updates the Autosave. You can reload the Restore Point to get around the death. It will take you back to the last time you exited your ship or saved on purpose. Note: After dying do not get in and out of your ship. That will overwrite the Restore Point.

[toxic mortar]

You can select to take a MT and ship into the expedition right? Does it keep all installed tech? Can you get them back?

[misty plinth]

It's a copy so what you put in is what you get out - just make sure you have what you wish to copy as active before entering the expedition.

As far as getting them back - you can make a copy of the tool when you return to your primary save - it will have the modifications, if any, that you made during the expedition.

[toxic mortar]

Ah cool.

Thank you!

[misty plinth]

Keep in mind copies cost nanites

[misty plinth]

You're welcome.

[tulip drum]

I thought Adrift was awesome there was something cool about not having anything on the radar, fly in and then a massive player base tower show up

[dull fossil]

hi sorry i just wanted to share this 💀 dunno if its even supposed to happen. was trying to complete the boundary portal milestone and this all happened. i landed and went 90 degrees so i basically fell off the planet

[quaint urchin]

Go into Menu> Options> Network and set Multiplayer to Disabled. Reload and it should clear them.

[dull fossil]

thanks so much! i just decided to warp into another system since my save point was b4 i got the portal coords

funkiest thing ive seen in nms

[quaint urchin]

Awesome. It hurts my heart that so many people can't complete the expedition because of people messing up the game like this.

[dull fossil]

wait things like this happen on purpose???

i thought my game was just glitching and i found sumn rare

[quaint urchin]

Yep, Griefers have figured out how to do bad things like summoning Derelict Freighters into the atmosphere. They also build buildings with no entrances around Milestones too.

[misty plinth]

Holiday spirit shared by fellow players 🫤

[quaint urchin]

Best bet is to disable Multiplayer for Expeditions at this time. Hopefully HG fixes these issues soon.

[pastel aurora]

Apparently people have been doing that all over in Adrift, it wasn't like that when I played through it so it must be a relatively new discovery. Either that or all the trolls were a bit late to the expedition

[dull fossil]

no way 💀 i never thought griefers would exist in a chill game like this

omega was great with multiplayer cuz people set up nice bases directly at sentinel camps or for s class multitools

[pastel aurora]

You have yet to see the unimaginable horrors of comms balls, innocent child.

[quaint urchin]

You can still see other bases with Multiplayer Disabled.

[dull fossil]

wait are comms balls those orange floating things near milestones????

[dull fossil]

oh i never knew that???? that's awesome

[pastel aurora]

Yes. It used to be way worse. Now, they periodically wipe the area around rendevous. But before? You were helpless, subjected to the political messages of the endless sea of comms balls

A truly terrible fate

[dull fossil]

that sounds horrible !! 😭 glad they wipe it periodically now

[pastel aurora]

Now I only really see them outside of expeditions crowded around portals on planets that have cool builds or were the site of a community event

[dull fossil]

im glad i only read the 'hi from country name' ones

[dull fossil]

ooo community events? i'll have to get into those

[pastel aurora]

By community events I mostly just meant community hosted events, but there are also planets that are the site of community research or similar events that Hello Games does

[dull fossil]

interesting! thanks so much for the info! :D

[split wigeon]

what's with the derelict freighters spawned all around boundary portal :/

i can't get close bc the gravity gets weird and i'm falling off the planet

[blazing fossil]

No one click that link
Most likely a scam

[neat latch]

Don’t do this @supple iron, unapproved links aren’t appreciated. 🙂

[split wigeon]

how do i get rid of them, disabled multiplayer but they're still there

[remote thunder]

pause/options/network/disable multiplayer; then save (enter+exit ship if you can, if not just wait for the autosave to trigger), return to main menu: reload save

[split wigeon]

that worked, thanks 😇

[split wigeon]

someone built a tower up to 1350u, i've spent 30mins cllimbing it thinking it was 1400u tall, and now i can't reach 😭

i even put all my jetpack upgrades into supercharged slots but still i can't reach 😭

[wraith junco]

I dont trust builded structures. They can be not updated. Better check bases that are made on mountains summits .

[livid drift]

I was pleasantly surprised to see comms balls near where you land after a certain phase 2 segment... And everyone expressed confusion

Also, upon closer inspection, these chunky gigachads I found yesterday? They're not even 3 feet tall

I want to go back to that planet but the sentinels chased me right off

How can you kill sentinels for their good loot and get away with it? I just get blasted every time, and even if I dig a hole, I don't know if that'll stop an interceptor (I want that loot too...)

[remote thunder]

check out this video

it's about distance

[livid drift]

I have to figure out how you get companion eggs exactly because I want the fun beasties I met on this adventure... You can go to bases you visited after the file merges back to main, right?

[remote thunder]

right

just feed them creature pellets then interact with them and hit adopt

[livid drift]

Oh, it's that simple?

[remote thunder]

not all fauna can be fed and adopted but yep

[livid drift]

... ok so, for sentinels, you just blow up one or two and then RUN (or dig a hole)

[remote thunder]

i never dig

i get enough distance between me and pursuing party, normally by melee jetpacking - i constantly keep an eye on the top right, as soon as i see it going down, i know i've reached minimum distance for sentinels not to know where i am, and then it's just a matter of maintaining that distance till wanted level is 0

[livid drift]

I need to learn the art of melee jetpacking

[blazing fossil]

You can’t use the expedition terminal to bring back companion eggs

[frosty wing]

how the hell do you find the crashed starship when you forgot to repair it for the exped milestone and took off to space?

[remote thunder]

could just find another

if you didn't mark the spot finding it now is probably going to be hard

[frosty wing]

you can set up a base on that planet which is brought with you into your main save - did this with a unique species (i named it nexius energeticus), then, simply get a new egg

[frosty wing]

right so finding another it is

[remote thunder]

if you got some contact with sentinel ship claiming/harmonic camps, starter system has a nice dissonant planet with no bad weather and activated copper

[livid drift]

But I can re-visit the planets on main and adopt them from there, right?

Can confirm, it's a very nice planet

If I can get back to that planet without Sentinels imploding me (if I can warp back to the space station at least), I'm good (didn't get to do a base before the Sentinels chased me out)

[frosty wing]

right, thats what that button thingy i brought with me was for!

[remote thunder]

claiming one will also complete the abandonment milestone, while giving you a huge boost on hyperdrive range, even more so if you supercharge crimson core

[oak epoch]

hello do the expedition replay at all?

[remote thunder]

right now, devs are rerunning a past expedition, expedition 13 currently; officially, we can only play the expedition that's live

[frosty wing]

wow - i have a mod called no repairing sentinel ships or such so claiming the ship instantly completed the quest

[oak epoch]

i missed out on the leviathian one i wanted thatship 😦

[wraith junco]

It was a frigate

U can get living frigates in game normaly now

[oak epoch]

how?

when i looked on the internet i could only get it thru expedition

[wraith junco]

Do mission for normal frigates. Pray for dream aerial item bp.Craft it. Use it. Pulse in space until whalesong encounter.

[oak epoch]

oh ok cna you have more then one ffrigates tho?

[wraith junco]

Yes

U can have full fleet of living frigates

Up to 30

[blazing fossil]

That specific one is only available through the expedition
Other models of living ships are available tho

[wraith junco]

U can find simliar looking one.

[blazing fossil]

True

[quaint urchin]

If you claim a crashed ship and don't repair it you can throw down a Base Computer and then summon the ship. You can also summon the Anomaly and summon the non-repaired crashed ship to that, but the Anomaly summon repairs the ship and thus it does not count for the milestone (or so I've heard). Dropping a Base Computer only costs 30 Chromatic Metal, so it's an option.

[frosty wing]

right, didnt know about that base computer thing - the game suggested summoning it but wouldnt let me

fortunately the sentinel ship solved the issue

[oak epoch]

can you make it in creative mode version of the game too?

[magic elbow]

does that imply there's mods to replay expeditions off-schedule?

oooh that's nice

i'd definitely wanna try that after the holiday reduxes are over

do i get to still redeem the rewards n all that?

[remote thunder]

not sure i get the question sorry, could you try to rephrase?

[remote thunder]

sure

[magic elbow]

pog

i love collecting the expedition reward ships

[oak epoch]

can you build the Dream Aerial in creative mode of the game??

[magic elbow]

love seeing them all parked in my freighter

but i haven't had time to take care of upgrading them n stuff except for the main one i use

[zinc wraith]

question about expeditions, are all of limited time?

[wraith junco]

Yep

[zinc wraith]

so, for example, i cant do de expedition 8, rigth?

[wraith junco]

Nope. Not officialy

[indigo falcon]

there is a mod that lets you replay older expeditions but it's not possible in the base game

(and if you are a console player, the base game is all you got)

[feral scaffold]

Will the space stations return to normal after the exp? I've bookmarked a few planets to revisit but not if there's a wonky station there

[wintry void]

yes they will be normal

[feral scaffold]

Sweet

[crimson rapids]

I just started this new expedition but didnt completely finish the last one, where do i collect what i did complete on the last one ?

[remote thunder]

cant claim prev expedition rewards in expedition 13 - no qs shop npc (no npcs anywhere)

[crimson rapids]

so i cant claim any of my previous expedition stuff in my main save?

[remote thunder]

you can claim them in your main save, yes - if you haven't already before

[oak epoch]

what is the mod called for the expedions?

[remote thunder]

goto anomaly, quicksilver shop

[remote thunder]

not really a mod, more like a few different json game files - ask around #nms-modding

[toxic mortar]

What if I identify as an NPC?

[indigo falcon]

reaches for the banhammer.

NO NPCs allowed!

(it's a pretty interesting twist, among the various expedition constraints it is one of my favorites)

[remote thunder]

yep!

[solemn bane]

I really like Cartographers (stranded on a planet trying to fix your bizarrely busted ship), Leviathan (Roguelite), and Adrift. I feel like you could combine them all for, like, a game. Add in Liquidators and The Cursed for some ridiculous challenge (especially on max difficulty settings, with no Neutron Cannon or cheese mode Minotaur, lol).

Oh and a nod to Utopia since being stuck in a system but still having stations you could learn recipes from was really cool. Also had a bit of a story that was neat.

[brave echo]

What planet on the expedition path has the appropriate mountains?

[wraith junco]

For the 1400u task? I would say the planet in the system where u get out from portal

[static tapir]

I just built a very tall platform for that

[thorn wagon]

is anyone doing phase 2 of the expedition?

[blazing fossil]

Do you need help with something?

[thorn wagon]

i need to get back to the portal location to go through it, and I am hoping someone who is on their way to the portal can give me a waypoint

[remote thunder]

wont be the same planet for everyone though; you know what planet it is? you could: 1) get glyph address of that planet, 2) make a different save on the side, creative mode 3) portal to glyph address from step 1; 4) note latitude+longitude coordinates of portal after you arrive 5) return to expedition save, fly to latitude+longitude coordinates

[thorn wagon]

I don't know how to find the glyph address of a planet

[wraith junco]

Quick menu. Photo mode.

[remote thunder]

@thorn wagon ^ when on the planet

[thorn wagon]

do you think going through any portal would work, or do you think I have to go through that specific portal?

[remote thunder]

is this for amidst the stars milestone?

[thorn wagon]

yes

[remote thunder]

then ime, from having helped and tried to help players with the same issue, a different portal will not work. so either you portal in to the target planet from another save, or someone does for you. all in all, with practice, shouldn't take more than 10min to get back into expedition and be flying to coordinates

[thorn wagon]

I can't seem to figure out where the planet is that I was on. The expedition route isn't taking me back to the same system it seems.

So, essentially, I need to just do the expedition from the start because the quest is borked? Unless somebody else is doing that step of the quest and I can find them and piggyback on them?

[orchid stone]

1400u in height... where on earth do i find that... geesh

[remote thunder]

did you visit the station of that system? do you remember anything particular about the planet? the name, the system name?

[remote thunder]

i did it in rdv2 planet - literally just found the tallest peak around, landed on it, and it was done

[orchid stone]

ah nice

tried climbing a few planets... tops up around 600..

[thorn wagon]

it was an arctic planet with extremely steep peeks that went around 900 units to 1200 units in height

i could probably find it looking through my discoveries long enough

i know what the flora and fauna looked like

[remote thunder]

if you can find it, you don't even have to go to it just to get the glyph address - you can just add the planet to personal records/wonders, and get the address that way

[thorn wagon]

interesting

and how do I find the specific portal once i find the planet?

[remote thunder]

you portal to it from a different save that has access to the full glyph set, once you arrive you aim visor at portal for example, and note down latitude+longitude coordinates. then you quit to main menu, load your expedition save, actually goto the planet, and fly to the portal coordinates, manually

i did it to help another player a few days ago, <#nms-expedition message>, success story <#nms-expedition message>

[thorn wagon]

👍 thank you

[remote thunder]

any questions while doing it just ask

!faq-portal to learn how to find a monolith and so on

[thorn wagon]

does the creative game have access to all of the glyphs?

[remote thunder]

yes, from the start

load in, pop a roamer exocraft geobay, hop in it, install radar and radar power resonator, open quick menu, scan for alien strctures

save, answer monolith correctly, interact again, find portal

[bleak turret]

NOOOOOOOOOO

this doesnt work

[remote thunder]

activated wont work, no; chromatic expansion only works with non-activated stellar metals

[bleak turret]

i need to go mine more copper...

[wraith junco]

1400u mountians

[bleak turret]

any place for robotic lifeforms?

[remote thunder]

exit this screen, wait for/force cycle the mission hints - what does it tell you? to open galaxy map?

like:

be sure to select current mission destination in the galaxy map

force cycle hints by spam pressing H or dpad left

once you warp to a suitable system, hint updates accordingly

[bleak turret]

i went to a blue star

and it said to go search

[remote thunder]

search for?

[bleak turret]

i already left

but it wanst the second message you sent

[remote thunder]

well - the point is - the milestone itself will mark a suitable system - you'll just need the indium drive to get to it

if you open the galaxy map right now, there should still be a current mission destination to switch to

[bleak turret]

alr

[remote thunder]

sounds like you didn't warp to the system milestone was sending you to

[solar notch]

Hey how do I join expedition

[remote thunder]

in any case, robo fauna will never spawn in inhabited systems

[remote thunder]

type !faq-expedition in #bot-spam for more info, but in short, either from main menu/new game, or from existing save/space anomaly/expedition terminus

[solar notch]

Where the terminus

[remote thunder]

leftof quicksilver shop

@bleak turret note: while this hint says that "it's in blue star systems" - it should actually be saying "uncharted systems" or "empty systems", iow systems with no race icon on galaxy map.

there are inhabited blue star systems - robo fauna won't be found in those, only in uncharted systems

[thorn wagon]

-27.33 +112.35 Portal reached!

[orchid stone]

cant find robots.. lol

[remote thunder]

@orchid stone ^ start here

[orchid stone]

ooo i need a new drive xD

[remote thunder]

all that said - robo fauna only spawns in uncharted systems, systems with no race icon on galaxy map. 95% of red, 40% of green and blue star systems are uncharted, so it's definitely possible to find them on your own, without using the mission target (which for some reason, uses uncharted blue stars). be sure to check the hint after warping to another uncharted system

[orchid stone]

yeah

tyvm

[flint totem]

Trying to reach the center this expedition is fun. No glyphs/portals & no black holes.

[orchid stone]

sentinel ships is good there, with long range

[flint totem]

I'm only at 2100 for the one I'm using

I make stops at dissonant systems to look for adjacency S sentinal ships. no luck yet.

[bleak turret]

i just went to the system of the mission now and still shows this

[remote thunder]

this system can't be the one the milestone/current mission pointed you to; it's not an uncharted system - you sure you followed current mission destination pathline all the way?

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Galaxy Map: NPC presence

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

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[bleak turret]

hmm

ig now i did

for some reason it had a reach limit on how many systems it shows

[remote thunder]

yes - it's the mission icon on the target system that you're wanting to see

[bleak turret]

what planet am i looking for?

[remote thunder]

could be any of the planets in the system - look at your discoveries tab, sometimes there will be bases uploaded and visible when you cursor over planets in the system

"any" that doesnt have rusted metal on resource list

[orchid stone]

does the synthetic creature come up when ur on the planet? or the system?

[remote thunder]

if there's at least a planet with robo fauna in the system, hint will acknowledge

[orchid stone]

that wil come when ur in the system?

[remote thunder]

yes

[orchid stone]

then ill continue :p

[remote thunder]

remember, only uncharted systems

[orchid stone]

yeah i check system without any race

[remote thunder]

stick to systems near rendezvous systems

[bleak turret]

how to find a derelict freighter?

since no space station npcs?

[tired badger]

One of the rewards you’ll get will give you an Emergency Signal Scanner. I think it’s the mission for a submerged wrecked freighter.

[bleak turret]

havent done that one either

[tired badger]

I haven’t done many expeditions, but what I’ve found is that they’re a closed system. Everything you need to complete the expedition will be given to you as a prior reward. Besides basic resources of course

[bleak turret]

yeah craft nautilon

[remote thunder]

and then simply delete nautilon chamber, install high powered sonar and scan for crashed freighters

[bleak turret]

i was trying to be lazy and not craft nautilon

but damm

[remote thunder]

it's just going to be the easier way

deleting nauti chamber will give you the resources to install high powered sonar, easy

[bleak turret]

yeah...

[remote thunder]

none of those are going to be a problem imo

[gaunt lake]

You'll also find a few quote-unquote "mountains" that people have made on random planets XD

[bleak turret]

in a planet without salt

other than one plant

[tired badger]

Find an ocean

Salty sea rocks

[remote thunder]

there's going to be underwater plants with salt, and chlorine, which can be refined to salt

[bleak turret]

not here....

unlucky me ig

[remote thunder]

could even refine dihydro+o2 for salt

i mean explore around if there aren't any within 20u

[bleak turret]

found some of this

[remote thunder]

there's always plants or rocks with salt or chlorine underwater

[remote thunder]

can't get salt out of that

scan stuff

[bleak turret]

yeah this one

but very few arround

[remote thunder]

take your ship, fly to another area

[bleak turret]

ig i will find a new location

[tired badger]

Scan the pokey rock thing on the lower right of that photo

[remote thunder]

could even refine dihydro+o2 for salt

[bleak turret]

yeah much faster

just had to get a few dihydro

[thorn wagon]

so, for synthetic life, is there a symbol on the systems that I should look for, or am I just looking for no symbol on the systems (uncharted)?

[remote thunder]

be sure to have it's alive selected, then open the galaxy map: at the top, can you switch to a destination for "Current mission"?

[thorn wagon]

yes, though it is rather far away

[remote thunder]

are there any visited systems near it that you can teleport to? how much range does your current ship have?

[thorn wagon]

not great range

[remote thunder]

that said, if you don't wish to pursue that pathline - you can just keep trying uncharted systems - i'd suggest using the lifeform filter, then all white stars will be uncharted

[thorn wagon]

but I can make the warp fuel, it will just take some effort

[remote thunder]

remember to make use of supercharged slots if you have any; that the abandonment milestone should have rewarded 2 a-class hyperdrive modules and that sentinel ships have a very large hyperdrive range by default

[ocean gorge]

Fincokla (the R3 planet) has extremely high peaks. I’m gonna bet you can get your 1400u climb accomplished there

But I got mine earlier when I came across a really tall staircase someone built on an earlier planet😂

I built my “rendezvous base” on a smaller mountain, and there are still ones much higher than mine😅

Climbing could be a challenge, but with a little work, it should be doable

[thorn wagon]

if I go to a system and land on a planet, and it doesn't have sythetic life, could the other planets in that system still have synthetic life on them?

[ocean gorge]

It’s possible, as long as it’s the right kind of system

[quaint torrent]

Chat help me please, Idk how to get deuterium to fix take-off jets.

and why am I even need to use deuterium for this?

[ocean gorge]

#nms-expedition message
refine silicate powder and dihydrogen (always check the pins, they have helpful info)

[thorn wagon]

you mix dihydrogen and silica

in the personal refiner in your suit

[quaint torrent]

oh thank

why are all crafts are changed in this exp?

[pliant violet]

Any way to get tritium on planet or is there another way to Deuterium

[quaint torrent]

#nms-expedition message

[obtuse jungle]

I think Di-Hydrogen + Silicon would work, you need the Personal Refiner Mk. 2 tho

[slender sphinx]

Hello

where to locate larval cores

[obtuse jungle]

Look for planets with no atmosphere/no life, or abandoned building. Open up whispering eggs then pickup larval cores, it'll spawn monstrosities tho so beware

[slender sphinx]

thanks

[slender sphinx]

rendezvous 2 is so annoying

where to find the approx location

[tiny gale]

so somethign odd happened, i did the derelict freighter, got my freighter- it had 2 storage on it already, warped to new system, called freighter and it all changed, it has nothing on it now

[ocean gorge]

Pins has all rendezvous locations

I’m sure you found it by now though 😅

Just for future reference though, the rendezvous locations for each expedition are pinned very early on once they’re found

However I think the coordinates for rdv 2 might not be correct as listed in the pins

[rapid bear]

How do I do "A Still, Small Voice" on Phase 5

nvm

figured it out

[slender sphinx]

sorry for the late reply, yes I have found it.

thanks though 😄

[rapid bear]

I just finished the expedition, for transfering items back, can I do it as many times as I want?

[frozen laurel]

Yes. Just don't click End Expedition. Use the Return to Primary Save from the Options menu.

[rapid bear]

k

[frozen laurel]

More details are in the pins in this channel. Link: #nms-expedition message

[rapid bear]

does the ghost freighter get automatically transfered?

[frozen laurel]

It is available from the Quicksilver vendor in the anomaly on your primary save.

[rapid bear]

k'

[long tinsel]

any news on if they fixed the bug where you cant use the ship class upgrade on a sentinel ship?

[thorn wagon]

It upgraded my sentinel ship

Now that I have completed the expedition, how do I return stuff to my original save?

[idle needle]

Hi, could anyone gift me the starborn runner or starborn phoenix if it is not a hassle? M1R6-83BV-FJ4BC

[thorn wagon]

I'm not sure how to gift free dlc

[long tinsel]

did you bring the ship over from your main save?

amd was it A class to S class?

[thorn wagon]

no

[long tinsel]

ahh thats probably why, what rank was it?

[thorn wagon]

I got the quest while doing the expedition

It was B

[long tinsel]

to A

good data point thanks

[thorn wagon]

yeah

[misty plinth]

It failed to upgrade my A Class solar to S as well

[long tinsel]

yeah theres a bug i reported with my A class sentinel ship i brought over

😕

[misty plinth]

First run through I had no bugs or glitches with things - second run on a different save has been the polar opposite

[ocean garnet]

I finished the expedition!

[thorn wagon]

so, what transfers from my expedition save back to my main save, and how do I go about transfering stuff?

and consolidating the saves?

like, can I transfer this ship and all of its components somehow?

or my multitool?

I normally don't do the same expedition twice, but I think expedition 14 could be an exception.

I will do my part!

When the time comes.

[indigo falcon]

you can make a copy of your expd save equipped mt and ship, once on the main save, for a few thousand nanites for S class. units, nanites and quicksilver from the expd save transfer automatically. you can place up to 8 tech and 24 other items into the anomaly terminal from the expd save, for collection from the main save. companion eggs cannot be transferred. bases built in the expd save become owned by the main save.

freighters do not transfer over. any expedition rewards can be claimed again on the main save (assuming you don't already have them from a previous run of the expedition)

[mighty oriole]

So much gold and/or uranium...

Wooop

[remote thunder]

congrats!

[supple verge]

Anyone know where to find dueterium and cobalt on the worm planet you first start in? I am having trouble finding some I can store.

Hi BK, fast typer.

[remote thunder]

hi 🙂

[supple verge]

oh yes because I missed the first few

[torpid blade]

So if I already did adrift and I do it again, do I get another iron vulture

[supple verge]

🤔

[remote thunder]

well, you'd not get a 2nd iron vulture added to your quicksilver shop if that's what you're asking, but it does give you the option to use expedition terminus to, for example, copy iron vulture multiple times in order to get ship parts from it to ship build with

[wraith junco]

And u can claim iron vulture from qs shop once on any current and future saves.

[pure sedge]

Why are people trying to get multiple Iron Vulture ship parts I don’t understand?

[wraith junco]

So they can rebuild it? Or give parts away

[remote thunder]

rebuilding it, color customized - perhaps with a diff SC slot layout

[wraith junco]

Wings have hover perk . So if u put in on other ship it will hover like sentinels

[remote thunder]

(and runner/phoenix)

[pure sedge]

Oh ok I see

[supple verge]

oh nice

[pure sedge]

This is my first expedition i got confuse with people getting multiple parts

[wraith junco]

Vulture is the only unique ship that can be dismantled for parts.

[pure sedge]

Really? Alright noted

[indigo falcon]

because it is a genuine hauler, so parts work, where the boundary herald, in spite of being an explorer by category, doesn't have any standard type parts so it can't be scrapped for them (as an example)

[split wigeon]

this expedition is my first time really playing nms, i have maybe 3 hrs on another survival save.
so there are upgrades that say they allow to jump to red/green/blue star systems and i need the last one to go to a blue star system and continue the expedition - i found out i can get cadmium by disassembling some starship upgrades but i have no idea how to get the other two elements for those upgrades

if someone could expain those to me i'd be grateful 🙏

[wraith junco]

Cadmium - red systems
Emeril- green systems
Indium- blue systems

[split wigeon]

i just noticed freighter upgrades and starship upgrades cost different materials, with starship upgrades having them "shifted" back by one - does that mean i can gather those materials in the corresponding systems?

[ashen shore]

Does the galaxy still remain abandoned after i completed the adrift expedition?

[remote thunder]

nope, goes back to normal

[tiny gale]

can we not add rooms to our freighters this expedition?

[indigo falcon]

if you have the blueprint unlocked for the room, and the materials, you should be able to add it, just bear in mind that freighters don't carry back to the main save (if you started the expd from an existing save)

if you don't have the blueprint, and you need salv frigate modules, hmm crashed freighters sometimes give them, I think Nexus missions don't happen in Adrift, at least they didn't during the original run, so that's not an option to get them

[tiny gale]

thats the thing, its not even letting me delete anything either, when i got the freighter form teh milestone, it had 2 storage rooms on it, warped to new system, has jack crap on it now, even reloading autosave /restore point didnt work, i cant add or delete anything now, build menu is empty

i purchased teleporter and it wont even let me build that

[indigo falcon]

um I would go to a remote system, make sure mp is off, call the freighter in there, save-exit-reload, tp back (still with mp off), call the freighter in again, see if things are any better. by "remote system" I mean like, go to a featured base via the anomaly, something like that. really remote.

we're trying to clear parts of the game cache with this maneuver, may or may not help

[tiny gale]

let me give that a try in a minute

[gloomy vector]

damn i never thought about this.

[tiny gale]

So. This is what happened. Did all that remote, save and recall. Interior (gray) is after that. Went back and interior is what it was when I first got it(red). Still cant build. Warped to a new ayatem next in line and interior changed again

its like its rotating through all teh starting layouts for freighter

[remote thunder]

i remember this being an issue reported by other players

[tiny gale]

jesus, f'ing christ, just restarted the whole system and the interior changed again- WTF Hello Games

[indigo falcon]

welp. that's a bug then... please report (and sorry the possible workaround didn't work around it)

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[tiny gale]

1 step ahead of you

wahts also funny, is i attacked some freighters in a system, jsut for fun, and they attacked back

[pastel aurora]

That's actually a pretty cool idea for a special freighter type. You wouldn't be able to build on it, but it would reconfigure it's layout every time you warped (the layouts would be more sophisticated than the starting layouts, they would be like an actual freighter base that you would build)

Gunter agrees

[crimson rapids]

Anyone else starting the expedition late that wants to join me tonight 😅😅

[frozen laurel]

you can always try in the #nms-lfg-or-trades channel too

[slender sinew]

Does anyone have a portal code to rendezvous 3?

Just seeing the distance I have to go is around 13 warps or so

[tiny gale]

check the pinned messages, its like the 3rd or 4th one down

[slender sinew]

Thankss

Just saw it
Appreciate the help

How in the world do you get tritium?? I can't even get into space to farm it in the first place.

[wraith junco]

Why do u need tritium?

For deuterium ? Use dihydrogen + silicate powder.

[misty plinth]

That tip needs to be more "in the face" so people notice it.

[wraith junco]

the recipe is in the UI but its buried.

Thats why we recommend pepole to first know the basic mechanics and knowledge of the game before starting expedition.

[mighty oriole]

The wiki is your friend

[gilded geode]

accidently skipped literally all reduxes, when is next :)

[gilded geode]

oh thanks

hell nah

steam didnt claim ship

[stray needle]

how am I supposed to get to phase 2 part 2

because I am falling through ground and dieing somehow

[remote thunder]

pause/options/network/disable multiplayer; then save (enter+exit ship if you can, if not just wait for the autosave to trigger), return to main menu: reload save

[stray needle]

why do I need to disable mp?

[remote thunder]

because those derelict freighters that are messing up gravity for you are the result of some players triggering them too close to a planet; do what i suggested, and they should be gone, allowing you to progress the milestone

[bleak turret]

how do i get to 1400 u?

[remote thunder]

i simply landed at the tallest peak i could find near rdv2

exited ship, and that was it

[bleak turret]

any planet in especific?

[remote thunder]

rdv2

[bleak turret]

i have been looking and cant find much tallest planets

[remote thunder]

Rendezvous 2

[bleak turret]

this one?

[compact osprey]

Is there a schedule for the different reduxs

[bleak turret]

naa

had to be the other one

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message>

[bleak turret]

my luck..

[remote thunder]

try another, happens

[bleak turret]

done

i remember this planet

i just didnt do the mission when i passed by it

[bleak turret]

on this expedition how do i use this?

[remote thunder]

can't

[bleak turret]

i know how to use the mt one

but cant use the ship one?

sad

there inst a ship upgrade somewhere?

[remote thunder]

only from milestone rewards, so be sure to have the ship you want equipped before claiming that milestone

[bleak turret]

already claimed them all :/

[remote thunder]

well, if you started from existing save, bring it back at the end

[bleak turret]

i wanted to put all this juicy mods on the new ship

but looks like i cant 😦

so it would be already build

but it doesnt have enough slots

[bleak turret]

part 2

any sugestions of mods priorities?

[remote thunder]

to which one?

[bleak turret]

from the fully built to the vulture

[remote thunder]

this looks good - do the same principles on the others

[bleak turret]

from that to vulture

not enough spaces on vulture 😦

[remote thunder]

add more?

go get modules

[bleak turret]

#nms-expedition message how?

[remote thunder]

stack'em up

once you're out of expedition?

[bleak turret]

but this is inside the expedition

[remote thunder]

and i already told you --

do this stuff in your primary save

[bleak turret]

i wanted to use expedition to duplicate the mods

[bleak turret]

but then its just move the mods

one ship wont have the mods for the other to have

here they can both have

because it will be a clone

[remote thunder]

i don't understand what's the point here

[bleak turret]

using normal save = 1 ship build

[remote thunder]

you know that expedition 13 is a pain because there's no upgrade module shops

[bleak turret]

using expedition = 2 ships built

[remote thunder]

there's no normal space stations

[bleak turret]

i didnt : /

[remote thunder]

all stations are abandoned

didn't you notice?

all systems are abandoned

there's no npc life anywhere

[bleak turret]

i noticed

but i tough there would be a way to upgrade ships

[rustic coral]

yeah adrift was kinda my least favorite expe but I know opinions differ on that

[bleak turret]

the other day you guys hammered my head for not getting previous rewards for a mission i was strugling

so i just claimed all rewards

and since you can upgrade your exosuit in space station

[remote thunder]

upgrade ships with inventory upgrades? as i said at the beginning, only when getting said upgrades from milestone rewards. if you wanted to do something like this, expedition 13 isn't the expedition to do it with

[bleak turret]

i assumed you could maybe also do the sip

[remote thunder]

but anomaly isn't a space station

there's nothing in the anomaly to upgrade ships

iow, complete expedition 13 - wait for exp14, then do what you wanted to do

[bleak turret]

well then

ok ig

[remote thunder]

exp13 isn't going to work like you want it to, not as easily

[bleak turret]

i already lost my chance right?

[remote thunder]

lost your chance for?

[bleak turret]

to increase the slots

[remote thunder]

Rendezvous 2 - Reach the 2nd rendezvous
300 Quicksilver
Starship Inventory Slot x 3

[bleak turret]

already claimed it

[remote thunder]

that's the only opportunity you get to add upgrade slots to a ship in expedition 13

forget this project for now, claim vulture or copy vulture to main save when you want to, complete expedition, wait for exp14 to start

[bleak turret]

ok

pick the last 2 slots

this are the ones missing

like things that are hard to come by

[remote thunder]

@bleak turret the only tech that you can't get unless it's off starborn runner is photonix core

everything else you can get in non-exp

[ashen shore]

I should not have done the expedition in one night. Want to start a new one but have to wait

[foggy aspen]

Yup, same.

[vale summit]

Hello

Has anyone ever lived and flourished in adrift

i was going to but after not finding any place to sell my ships i kinda gave up

[remote thunder]

well, there's plenty of ways to make moneys - but it's not going to be a universe friendly to those who want to upgrade their ships to max storage for example

[vale summit]

i suppose i could have edited my game to get rid of them

[ashen shore]

Saving the Expedition milestone that upgrades the class of your Multi-Tool and using it to get a "free" S-class Multi-Tool after transferring the Atlas staff from the last expedition was probably one of the smartest things I've done in my whole 200 hours of playtime

[lost apex]

same! i'm glad I waited to pop that upgrade

[sand marlin]

Mold farming for nanites isn't that terrible, but good idea. Do the expedition rewards carry over after you finish? I thought you could only upgrade multitools inside the expedition.

[remote thunder]

naturally, milestone rewards that class upgrade can only be done in expedition, but milestones that would apply inventory upgrades, we can back out of those when we get the "add slot" screen - they're then dropped in the form of exosuit expansion unit/storage aug/mt expansion slot and we could then take them back to primary save, if ofc we started expedition run from existing save. this also means that knowing that an expedition will have a MT/Ship class upgrade, one could bring a desired ship to purposely get that upgrade, and then copy the ship back into primary save again, saving the up to 85k nanites that a class upgrade would have cost back in primary save

[sand marlin]

I see, sort of what I thought. I didn't know about the slot augments, that is pretty neat.

[slender sphinx]

how to find synthetic creatures?

[sudden reef]

I'm yet to repair my launch thrusters with deuteonium but I don't have access to tritium or medium refiner or multi step refinery.

Is it over for me?

[neon igloo]

do we have planets where i can get the two robotic lifeform scans done?

[sand marlin]

I've seen that question asked a few times, do a search in this channel specifically. I believe blue star systems were preferred.

[final arch]

Install indium drive, then activate the "It's Alive" milestone and visit a blue star system it points to.

Find there a planet with a synthetic fauna and document two of them to finish this milestone.

i got this from a tutorial

[neon igloo]

thank you

[slender sphinx]

Im currently on this one, i cant seem to find an empty planet.

[neon igloo]

woo i finished

[stray needle]

is it worth getting a frienghtor?

[rapid elm]

frienghtors are always worth getting (if you can afford it)

i mean so are freighters but hey ho

[slender sinew]

Found a portal but glyphs aren't available
I had glyphs on my main save from the Artemis storyline

[ashen shore]

What would you guys say is the most annoying thing about this expedition?

[open dagger]

The freighter griefing

[whole egret]

does iron vulture still keep exotic status if you copy it from expedition instead of get it from quicksilver terminal?

also can you make multiple copies from quicksilver terminal if you scrap the first one

[wraith junco]

U can redeem Qs shop item once per save

Not counting consumables

[whole egret]

since i already reedeemed my iron vulture is there any other way to get parts

i saw a reddit post suggesting i claim it again during the next expedition but i dont know how to do that

[wraith junco]

U can copy last used ship in exp multiple times from exp terminal before ending and exp summary.

[whole egret]

so does that mean i have to restart the expedition?

[wraith junco]

Vulture Parts are tradeable. So other players can gift them to others.

[whole egret]

oh, that's good

thanks

[peak pumice]

I didn’t know about this formula previously.

[sullen fulcrum]

When you start the next expedition, after you reach the nexus, you can spend nanites to copy whatever starship you have active in your main save into the expedition. From there you can scrap it in your main save and spend nanites again to copy it back into your main save as many times as you like. You can only have one copy at a time in either save though

[whole egret]

ohhhh

so i can copy it into the expedition and get parts there if i wanted? then transfer the parts back through expedition terminal storage

[sullen fulcrum]

You could, or you could do it the other way, copy into the expedition then use that copy to copy it back again to get the parts by scrapping it in your main save. You'll probably have easier access to nanites in your main save, and you can switch back and forth from the pause menu as long as the expedition's active

That's assuming you started the expedition from an existing save file though, and you didn't start a new save for the expedition

[rancid goblet]

i have a problem. I'm landing on a planet to reach the portal for the 2nd milestone, but i can't land

i'm pressing the button

and it doesn't work

[sullen fulcrum]

Still doesn't work if you find a building with a landing pad? worst case you might have to land at a space station and reload the game

[rancid goblet]

there are no building nearby it seems, aside a base made from a player but without landing pads

also, this portal is right next to not 1, not 2, but 3 derelict freighters one inside the other

i tried landing on one of them to complete the mission, and the game crashed

[sullen fulcrum]

That could very well be the cause 😅 I'm glad I finished this one early. if you reload the game with multiplayer off in the settings you won't get those derelicts which it sounds like will solve a lot of problems people have been having

[rancid goblet]

yea ig so

the portal is right next to this

[sullen fulcrum]

holy cow people are really greifing this expedition huh. Definitely try without multiplayer. You don't need to interact with other players for this anyway and you won't have to deal with this nonsense

[rancid goblet]

i opened the game with multiplayer off

freighters disappeared but i still can't land

i found a player base with a landing pad, pretty far but better than nothing

[sullen fulcrum]

Weird. at least you got on the ground though

[rancid goblet]

yea, that's the important thing

[grizzled pecan]

Hi, I am new here. I don't have friends in no man's sky. I need some friend to help me with the expedition.
I do not find wiring looms around and space stations are destroyed so no trade available,

[wintry void]

If you are facing exit to station, there is a trade terminal, at the end of a tunnel on the left side of station as you look at exit

[indigo falcon]

expeditions can be done with other players but they are designed so that you can run them single player. indeed, switch players do not even have the option of multiplayer available. so when you encounter something that seems to require another person, have another look at the problem. it may require a bit more exploration, checking details in the mission log, etc. in the specific case, as Stobbys says, all space stations do have a functioning trade terminal where you can buy and sell various goods. you'll find it handy, since you can ||sell cursed dust there|| fpr a good profit if you're short on units.

[jolly drum]

Since it seems like I'll probably have to turn off multiplayer for good because of these freighters, does that mean bases built by other players won't be there either?

[remote thunder]

bases uploaded by other players will be, just won't see bases that were from players in the same multiplayer instance as you now because mp off

[jolly drum]

I still think that the people who keep putting these freighters over every location important to an expedition should have their pancreas teleported into the Sun.

[agile pond]

is there a way to get nanites in this expedition other than smelting and searching for damages machines?

[remote thunder]

zoology bonuses; buried caches packs can also drop nanites directly for example

[agile pond]

thanks

already solved in another way, farming inverted mirrors to smelt

[rapid bear]

I finished the expedition but didn't end it yet

do I have to end it to be able to get my nanites and money?

[austere meteor]

What should I do with the items I got from the derelict freighter in phase 4? Do they have any worth being transferred to my main?

[rapid bear]

what did you get

[austere meteor]

like crew manifest and captains log

[rapid bear]

yeah

[austere meteor]

usually you can either exchange it for tainted metal or units

[rapid bear]

u can sell them to the scrap dealer or give them to a guild person

also

you can transfer as many items as you want

[austere meteor]

yeah but

adrift

[rapid bear]

just dont click end expedition

click esc

then return to main save

[austere meteor]

huh

[rapid bear]

and then collect the items

[austere meteor]

Good to know

#nms-expedition message

[unborn prism]

I think I fully explored the derelict freighter but the milestone won't complete. What constitutes fully exploring a derelict freighter?

[rapid bear]

on the expedition, is it even possible to find a habitited space station

[rapid bear]

also you need to get to the engineering terminal

[unborn prism]

I got all three terminals

[rapid bear]

no

the ENGINEERING

terminal

not the logs terminals

[unborn prism]

Oh what

Huh I never heard of this one

[rapid bear]

breh it is literally in every derilict

it gives u the option for modules and I think nanites

[unborn prism]

Listen I have done many of those and never seen more than three of those computer things

Yes

I did that one

I got nanites

Didn't complete the milestone

[rapid bear]

alr then u gotta leave

[unborn prism]

Left five times

[rapid bear]

alright then idfk-

[unborn prism]

Landed then re-left

[rapid bear]

lmao

[unborn prism]

-_-

[rapid bear]

@unborn prism if u wanna friend me on nms I can join and see

[remote thunder]

nope

[rapid bear]

rip

[remote thunder]

getting crew manifest, captains log and interacting with engineering room terminal to, for example, get a freighter upgrade module.

[unborn prism]

Yes I did all of that and nothing

[remote thunder]

just to make sure, did you spawn the derelict freighter yourself, using the emergency signal scanner?

you didn't use the refiner trick either did you?

[unborn prism]

I found it by accident. simply by wandering around doing other stuff.

[rapid bear]

breh

[remote thunder]

complete phase 4 milestone 5, claim it, disable mp, save, goto space, use emergency signal scanner - should work just fine then

[rapid bear]

Is it supposed to take 2 minutes to warp 1.5k light years

[remote thunder]

depends, if you're warping to a system with lots of uploaded player bases - we've seen reports before of up to 10min of loading

[rapid bear]

no I literally just warped to a completely random system off the expedition path

[remote thunder]

doesn't mean that there arent other player bases there

[rapid bear]

it is unlikely but alr

[remote thunder]

especially if near/fairly nearby the expedition route

[rapid bear]

it is 1.5k ly away

[remote thunder]

sorry to say, that's nothing in galactic terms

i myself saw bases uploaded more than that away from rdv3

15K LY away? i'd have agreed with you, no doubt

[rapid bear]

nAh 1.5

[remote thunder]

exactly

[rapid bear]

Is your profile picture a korvax with a santa hat? I genuinely cannot tell

It just looks like it

[remote thunder]

it's the eye of the korvax alt helmet, with a santa hat yeah

[rapid bear]

Lol

[unborn prism]

What do you have to do for the "Amidst the stars" milestone?

[tough sluice]

Heya bk

[rapid bear]

are you doing the phases in order?

[remote thunder]

Deldi!!!! 🤗

long time no see! hope you've been well!

[remote thunder]

follow milestone hint lower right of the screen; remember that you can force cycle them by spam pressing H or dpad left

@unborn prism keep multiplayer disabled throughout this milestone (if you had it enabled, disable, save, reload from main menu); interact with prime terminal, craft mind ark, come back to prime terminal, fly out anomaly, follow marker to portal, present mind ark to portal, go through

Is it normal for the signal booster to lead me to crash sites without crashed spaceships?

[remote thunder]

be sure to be in a gek/korvax/vykeen system

[unborn prism]

The rest of the assets are there, just not the spaceship itself

[remote thunder]

uncharted systems wont work

[unborn prism]

Oh

Hm okay

[raw ruin]

I was able to complete Omega within two days, and the requirements are more relaxed compared to the original expedition back in May.

[raw ruin]

Yes, as long as the system had a sentient race at one point. It obviously doesn't work in uncharted systems. I know it is difficult, you can probably do a quick check by pressing left on the D-Pad to check if the system is uncharted or not, cause sometimes the space station doesn't load in right away in an abandoned system.

[remote thunder]

if there's a race icon on the galaxy map or in the discoveries main view - and not just a cross - then it's a suitable system for this milestone

[raw ruin]

I believe that is true for an abandoned system, but what it wasn't previously visited?

[remote thunder]

uncharted systems won't ever have a station, and planets in them basically only have 1 portal per planet

[remote thunder]

can you rephrase the question please?

[raw ruin]

What if the system wasn't previously visited by you or me?

For example, if I were to warp to a red star system, how would I know if it was abandoned if I never visited before?

[remote thunder]

gotcha

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

[remote thunder]

with an eco scanner, easily

[raw ruin]

That works, my main ship has one installed.

[remote thunder]

abandoned systems will always be "t1"/1 star, and always show a eco type icon, but always "data unavailable"

once you warp to it, that it is abandoned will be shown in the galaxy map (bottom right image)

[raw ruin]

Thanks for helping me out too, I don't visit a lot of abandoned systems myself. I just want to visit more of those.
