[spark owl]

Searching for 2 synthetic lifeforms any tips

[unborn prism]

I heard they reside in blue star systems

[bleak turret]

🫡

[spark owl]

Sigh so elusive

[bleak turret]

see you all in next expedition

[remote thunder]

the milestone itself will lead you to a suitable system via galaxy map, if you have the indium drive installed-

[wintry void]

if you highlight it, it will give you a waypoint in galaxy map to a system

[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

[spark owl]

It's installed.......

[remote thunder]

then make sure you have the right milestone selected, and are following the current mission destination in the galaxy map

not expedition route

current mission

[wintry void]

Then when you get to system, its case of checking planets in discovery for 4 or less fauna

[remote thunder]

(not 1 fauna only though)

2-4 fauna, yeah

[ashen shore]

So how did everyone's expeditions go!!

[remote thunder]

i've almost completed the redux, only have rdv5 to do

[ashen shore]

Eyyyy heck yeah! I only did the one I didn't know you could redo them

Would other people also be in the ones you redo?

[remote thunder]

sure, though exp13 is a special case

[ashen shore]

Oh the one I did?

[remote thunder]

well, from new saves, we can run it as many times as we want

[ashen shore]

It represented lonlie ness right?

[remote thunder]

yeah

still that one running, hasn't ended yet

next one begins xmas day, 25th

[ashen shore]

Eyyyy heck yeah!! A Christmas one!

And yeah I had to finish it super fast otherwise I'd be lazy

[ocean gorge]

I was checking the rates for making nanites, and the pins say inverted mirrors convert at a rate of 1:75
but when I checked my mk2 refiner, I got 1:95
I checked ratios for other things, shards, hylaline brains, they are all as expected.

[remote thunder]

ty

[ocean gorge]

But it’d be nice if someone could double check

[remote thunder]

mb

[ashen shore]

I didn't even know those turned to nanites

[ocean gorge]

Me either

[ashen shore]

Wait can you put new save material with your main profile?

[ashen shore]

Oh and do you wanna do an expedition later?

[remote thunder]

nah - only get to run it from a specific save once

[remote thunder]

thanks for the invite, but i'm not really someone who does multiplayer, plus i should be going to bed soon, need to recover from this cold

[ashen shore]

I didn’t mean later today I meant in the future

And I’m alittle anti social I get it

[remote thunder]

oh!

[ashen shore]

Yeah and by alittle I mean a lot

[remote thunder]

expeditions for me is sorta try to get in and out as fast as possible - and some missions can't be in a group for it

[ashen shore]

Literally me before I saw the time limit

[remote thunder]

or even have multiplayer enabled (see: derelict freighters spawned in atmosphere)

[ashen shore]

I only got one honestly and that was during the event because I used the beacon thing

[muted wave]

Just finished Adrift Redux!

[prime plover]

Does anyone know a planet on expedition 13 where I can find corrupted sentinels easily

[muted wave]

Just find a planet in the galaxy map that had dissonance, warp there, go to the dissonance planet, and their will be corrupted sentinels there.

How to find Dissonance

Look for Dissonant systems in the galaxy map. In these systems, you'll often find at least one planet that reads Dissonance Detected in their resource list.

Notes:

• All dissonant planets can be used to farm related resources e.g. radiant shards, echo locator
• Not all dissonant systems and/or planets can spawn harmonic camps (image ). Consuming a Carrier AI Fragment should lead you to a suitable location that can spawn harmonic camps.

[remote thunder]

@prime plover there's one in the starter system that doesn't have hazardous storms and has activated copper

otherwise, follow JGamerz tip

(see embedded image in Gunter post above for support)

[prime plover]

Thx

[slender sphinx]

whats the easiest way to earn nanites?

[raw ruin]

Refining Larval Cores, Flesh Ropes, and Vile Spawns are the way to go for this expedition. If you're on a dissonant planet, Radiant Shards, Inverted Mirrors, and Hyaline Brains can also refine for Nanites. Larval Cores, Flesh Ropes, Vile Spawns, and Radiant Shards produce 50 Nanites each, Inverted Mirrors produce 95 Nanites, while Hyaline Brains produce 230 Nanites

[remote thunder]

refine stuff you gather and get from milestones, do zoology on planets with 4-6 fauna

[slender sphinx]

which resources are the easiest to farm

for me to refine them

[raw ruin]

Larval Cores are plentiful.

[remote thunder]

1 vote for radiant shards in the dissonant lush planet in the starter system

[raw ruin]

Found around abandoned buildings, so every landmark will likely have an abandoned building, but be careful

[slender sphinx]

Oh i have a lot of these

thank you so much

radiant shards also

thanks a lot, saved a lot of time.

[indigo falcon]

that starter system lush dissonant planet is so good, I don't know why it's not filled chock full of bases by now. or, maybe it is....

[ashen shore]

how do I get wiring looms? All the spaceships are dead

space stations

[warm sedge]

there are still active trade terminals on space stations, once you get enough money you can just buy them

[remote thunder]

@ashen shore there's a trade terminal even in abandoned stations,

[ashen shore]

thank ya guys!

[smoky axle]

Where are you guys getting emeril? Old fashioned way, or is it in one of the rewards I'm missing?

[slender sphinx]

green star system

[smoky axle]

So the old-fashioned way?

Gotta get each metal?

[slender sphinx]

I dont know if its the old fashioned way, but I farmed it in the green star systems.

[iron tendon]

I somehow completed abandonment without even repairing the crashed ship. I just got in and got out and 2mins later it completed?!😅

[iron tendon]

For some reason, the ancient ruins with a ramp and large crates don't count towards the objective?

[slender sphinx]

what kind of planet should I go if I wanna use the high powered sonar?

[frozen laurel]

any with water

[slender sphinx]

no nearby buildings detected

it says

[agile pond]

I've just finished the expedition and I'm wondering, can the iron volture be scrapped at the starship terminal in exchange for customisation parts (like wings, thrusters, ecc...) because me and my friend are debating about that from days but neither of us want to try even if we don't confirm the scrapping process

[smoky axle]

So how do I shuttle items over to my main save? When do I interact with the terminus?

[agile pond]

@languid spoke, and the other expedition only starship?

[languid spoke]

when you are done with the expedition you can put items into the slots of the expedition terminal and just switch to your main save w/o ending the expedition

you can repeat that process, just make sure you do NOT end the expedition

[smoky axle]

So currently I've finished every task, but not claimed every reward. Terminus says complete expedition

but last time when I collected rewards it was then too late, so what do I collect/not collect?

[languid spoke]

if you started from a main save you can collect everything, you will have to actively end the expedition in the terminal to finally end it, until then you can jump back and forth

[smoky axle]

This is a new save

[languid spoke]

so you can use the terminal to ship items into main save multiple times

if this is a new save then it gets converted to a normal save after the expedition is done automatically

[smoky axle]

I just need to know what of these phase rewards I should collect, because last time I collected everything and I was told that was why I couldn't bring items over

[languid spoke]

i think you misundstand, if you want to bring items to your main save you have to start the expedition from the terminal on the anomaly while being on your main save

the phase rewards are available on all saves once unlocked

[smoky axle]

So you can't shuttle items over from your inventory to your main save unless you start the expedition from your main save?

[languid spoke]

if the expedition save is a new save then that gets converted to a normal save after the expedition is done

[smoky axle]

I understand that, but I've never read you have to start it from a main save to bring items over. That seems to be something people would lead with, but I mostly get my info from reddit so 🤦‍♂️

[languid spoke]

maybe the golden vector can be scrapped for parts but neither the speedster nor the starborn runner can be scrapped for parts as they are different altogether

[smoky axle]

I don't really understand how save switching between your main and the expedition works if your main is the expedition, but clearly I've never done it right

[languid spoke]

so if you start from your main save, you go to the anomaly and start the expedition from the terminal behind the nexus (you can optionally bring items into the expedition from there too)

once the expedition starts you can swap back and forth, expedition to main from the escape menu where you save and quit and you can go back to the expedition from the terminal in the anomaly.

the save and quit menu has an addtional option to switch to your main save in case you start from your main save

once you have collected all rewards you can choose to bring over as many items as you want by switching between main and expedition save and using the terminal as box

and there you can finally end the expedition as well which removes the option to go back into the expedition

[smoky axle]

Okay, thanks for the detailed explanation. It still doesn't make sense that we're bifurcating our main save and still calling it main, but not, but I presume it will make sense when I actually go through it

[languid spoke]

you do not have to end the expedition to b rbing items over, that way you can use that "box" multiple times

[smoky axle]

so most people start the exp from their main save?

[languid spoke]

the game basically dupes your main save and switches state between whatever game mode the save is in and the expedition state

it is up to players to decide what they prefer, some use the expedition to start new saves altogether

the one thing to note is if your main save is permadeath, the expedition save is still the default expedition state, so you don't lose your main save if you die in the expedition

[solemn bane]

Expeditions used to require you to start with a fresh save. They shoehorned the terminal in so people could run expeditions on an existing save. It's super awkward and you shouldn't feel bad for not understanding it until you go through the process.

[smoky axle]

thanks for the help and support guys/gals

[foggy aspen]

I think "shoehorn" is a bit harsh, HG did a pretty good job of implementing the primary/expedition save system that now exists

But yes it is fairly awkward to understand at first

[solemn bane]

It fits my definition of shoehorn pretty well. Just something they dumped in the game with no real rhyme or reason as far as any sort of integration with the plot or lore or anything like that. Kind of like expeditions themselves, actually. Just something they tacked onto the game.

[foggy aspen]

Fair. I view them as sort of a side quest, just a very long one.

So the terminals are the start and end of the side quest.

[solemn bane]

Sure, with zero integration into the game other than just sort of being there and doing the thing, heh. Usually in games even side quests feel like they are part of the game. In NMS there is no explanation in the game for expeditions at all, you just learn from them outside the game or on the menu and do them. They could have added some dialogue to say they are cloning your body and sending you to another part of the universe or…something. Instead it was just in some patch notes that now there’s a clunky terminal that you can do the thing at.

That said, I just broke 1,000 hours on NMS while doing my latest permadeath expedition run, so clearly there is something about it that keeps me coming back. But so many of the choices they make and directions they go are absolutely mystifying.

[meager scroll]

The Vulture is the only expedition reward ship that can be scrapped for parts

Reason being it is a hauler ship like regular haulers found in game

Whereas all other ships are their own special type, not subject to procedural generation from set of parts

[languid spoke]

i wasn't sure about the golden vector as it's been in the game for a long time

[meager scroll]

Well those were simple times and simple solutions

It was easier to model a separate ship and make it gold

[meager scroll]

By the same logic all gameplay QoL improvements are shoehorned as well lol

Why can we fast recharge our techs from quick menu? Why we can pack tech modules and move them around?

I don't remember my Traveller player character learning those skills in their lifetime

[solemn bane]

Your tech modules are part of the game. Expeditions were tacked on. There's no comparison there.

[meager scroll]

Not everything has to be backed by the lore

[languid spoke]

iterations of the universe/multiverse that happen w/o us being consciously aware of them

atlas points its finger at a random point in time/space and our present changes along with it

[solemn bane]

Yeah it's a good way to excuse half-implementing nearly every aspect of your game, I agree. It's the Atlas's fault! He's glitching!

[languid spoke]

if the godlike-figure has flaws why shouldn't the game have them :p

[solemn bane]

lol, I think it may be the other way around

What came first, the half chicken or the half egg

[meager scroll]

What needs to come first is understanding that NMS is a game the needs to appeal to the player base

[languid spoke]

atlas is flawed hence why our characters make world altering decisions, just like the player can choose to play expeditions or use mods

[meager scroll]

And all the stuff HG does, more or less half assed is to ensure that

[solemn bane]

You can appeal to the player base by intuitively integrating features into your game in such a way to actually make them feel like a part of it, rather than just making them feel like they are tacked on in a hurry.

[languid spoke]

implementing game changes is often done by way of least resistance and way of least spaghetti code, in the end the spaghetti will win regardless

[solemn bane]

But yes, it requires some serious head-canon to excuse that kind of lack of attention to detail.

Yeah, what I've seen of the code is pretty horrific. The questing system is a nightmare, which I think is part of the reason expeditions came in the way they did. A much easier framework to set up a bunch of gofer quests with a little extra code to make them unique (to varying degrees)

[meager scroll]

On that we can agree lol

[solemn bane]

So yeah, maybe rather than lack of attention to detail it was more about everything being an absolute pain in the ass to integrate into the base game, so you just have to shoehorn it in.

[meager scroll]

But I wouldn't call reworking whole save structure to support "integrated expedition slot" slot half assed

To the point of HG feeling semi confident about it to release it in experimental build

[solemn bane]

They literally just copy/paste elements from your save into another section of the json, lol. It's not some sort of amazing feat.

[meager scroll]

Which hasn't happened since what, Living Ships?

True I'm not a save editing expert so I'm willing to cut them some slack

My point being allowing us to start expeditions from existing saves is a huge quality improvement over having to deal with 15 saves

[solemn bane]

I never said it wasn't!

[meager scroll]

And on that note I'm going offline cause plane

[solemn bane]

I've spent hundreds of hours, easily, playing old expeditions because they added that thing

That weird, disconnected, unintuitive, half-assed thing. lol.

[orchid stone]

whats the point with all these anomalies i find? shelter pods etc...

it gives me nada xD

[solemn bane]

Sometimes you can blow them up for stuff, sometimes you can communicate with them for lore, sometimes you can look at them and say "huh... well back to my go fetch quest"

[orchid stone]

aha xD

synthetic lifesign detected on nearby world.. is that a nearby system? or a planet?

[blazing fossil]

Planet in current system

[orchid stone]

i feel like ive been on em all...

except this one.. xD doh..

[sharp marten]

if I put items into storage containers, will they be auto-sold at the end of expedition? got a lot of modules I'm not gonna equip

[remote thunder]

i would recommend not counting on it; remember that you could abuse the expedition terminus mechanic to carry more than 8 tech+24 cargo back to primary

[orchid stone]

hate this redux expedition

[rustic coral]

are the rewards for this adrift expedition the same as the last time adrift was around?

[remote thunder]

yes

[rustic coral]

okie

[agile pond]

how?

[remote thunder]

complete and claim all milestones, goto expedition terminus, check if you can edit expedition terminus inventory slots; if you still can't at this point, there will be a button named "End Expedition". clicking this button will unlock the slots on the right - do not hit the Finish button.

add items in, then backout, enter+exit ship, wait a few seconds, pause/options/return to primary.
back in primary now, goto exp terminus, take items out, save. interact with exp terminus (or in mission Log), press resume expedition.

repeat as many times as needed

[agile pond]

is there any risk of not getting items back?

[remote thunder]

if you let expedition end and didn't take care of it, yes

[sharp glacier]

the planet ive spawned on is so bad, ive gotten the walk 6500u before my second achievement lmao

no copper anywhere 😔

[quaint urchin]

Try pinning it. Here's a picture on where to pin resources:

[remote thunder]

dismantle rocket launcher for 100 copper

run circles around your ship, ever widening

within 2000u radius of your ship, there should be more than 1

[sharp glacier]

yup did that, the problem is every like 1000 u i get a deposit but its at water level so it has like 5 copper 😭

[sharp glacier]

oh i should do that

[remote thunder]

find buried caches, can drop copper too, although rng ofc

[quaint urchin]

Make sure your Terrain Manipulator mining beam is set to as small as possible to get the most resources.

[sharp glacier]

got that too lol

finally back to the ship, seems like the extra 100 from the rocket did it, ty lol, saved like an hour

[toxic mortar]

That took longer than necessary....there was no copper anywhere nearby that I could see.

[orchid stone]

find blue planet, without faction, search

[orchid stone]

had same problem

[toxic mortar]

I acomplished a bunch of milestones though. Killed a bunch of spawn, hazardous fauna, identified plants, nanites, got crysral sulphide, walked 6,500, etc.

[orchid stone]

i still struggle collecting nanites.. no matter what i read online

[toxic mortar]

Kill the worms refine the tentacles and eggs.

[orchid stone]

im so far from a worm planet now xD

[remote thunder]

every single rdv planet is a worm hive planet

simply teleport back to such a system

scan fauna for nanites

zoology nanite bonus reward == nr of species on planet x 250

[orchid stone]

scanning fauna gives credits, not nanites?

[remote thunder]

nanite bonus reward

[toxic mortar]

Huh. I just randomly found someone's floating base that gave me the elevation one

[toxic mortar]

For "Find and Restore a crashed ship" do you need to FULLY resore it?

[remote thunder]

probably only needs launch thruster+pulse engine

[toxic mortar]

Yup, just found out. Randomly stumbled on a crashed ship....

[toxic mortar]

Just left first planet, 17 milestones done

[fluid cargo]

Finally done, but what's with the freighter graveyards and the crazy gravity wells? Killed me the first time round just trying to take off after landing on one of them.

[remote thunder]

players managing to trigger derelict freighter missions inside atmosphere

[fluid cargo]

eugh...

[quaint urchin]

Also, if you started the expedition from the terminal in the Anomaly, your Discoveries tab has everything you've discovered while playing in your primary save. This screen shot was taken 5 minutes after starting the Expedition from my Primary save (look at all of those Nanites):

[orchid stone]

sadly did not start from primary save

[toxic mortar]

Do any of the systems have a particularly better derelicts?

[quaint urchin]

Dissonant planets is another good source of Nanites. You can collect Radiant Shards and refine them into Nanites.

[orchid stone]

really...

i have tons of radiant as fuel for my ship...

[toxic mortar]

Or mirrors. The swarm don't chase you too far.

[orchid stone]

how do you scan that huge worm?

[quaint urchin]

You can't...

[remote thunder]

just aim your visor at it, it's a little difficult getting the visor on the right spot sometimes

that said, it's not part of the planet's fauna list

[orchid stone]

it never starts scanning

[remote thunder]

not supposed to

because it's not a fauna species that you need to scan to get zoology nanites bonus for example

[quaint urchin]

Here's the link for it on the Wiki: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Shaihuluda

[orchid stone]

ah

[remote thunder]

literally just aiming visor at the right spot will get some info on visor, neat to see, that's all

there's different ones - so if you're curious, remember to try on different planets you see them at

all hail shai-hulud 🪱 🙇‍♂️

[open dagger]

Some are quite beautiful. I really love the ones I've found on very icy planets. Seemingly a lot of variations as bk noted..

[remote thunder]

they're awesome, awe inspiring

i honestly really would like that devs would give us an exp4 reredux 🙇‍♂️

[open dagger]

I'll have to look that one up. I just started playing NMS the week before Aquarius started so playing catchup with this seasons redux. Super enjoying it.

Yea, after making enough posts you get to use emojis. You can go to the #bot-spam channel and type in !xp to see your rank.

[tough sluice]

Which one's the next expedition after this one?

[median hatch]

is the amount of supercharge slots on a ship dependant on the class of the ship?
and if yes, if i upgrade the class of a ship, will it gain supercharge slots or is it dependant on the initial class of the ship?

[open dagger]

Ahh... makes sense. I'm in no hurry. So much yet to discover and do. Right now i'm just enjoying the prog. At some point i need to figure out pulti player - i mostly play mmo's so this is different but as a forever skyrim/fallout player i am coping somehow LOL

[tough sluice]

Curent class

Upgrading adds more

[quaint urchin]

#nms-expedition message I linked it earlier in case it helps.

[median hatch]

so is it just S class that has 3 supercharge slots or does the amount depend on anything else? just noticed the iron vulture has 3 supercharge slots, friend of mine has some A class ship which also only has 1 supercharge slot

[tough sluice]

S has four

Might have to unlock more slots to get them to show up though

[quaint urchin]

All have 4 supercharged, but one gets hidden for every class below S-Class. Sometimes you have to upgrade (unlock) additional slots to see them all.

[slow tusk]

oh that is it then. they do have the red dot of undiscovered fauna, that was so confusing (tried to scan them for so long lol)

[orchid stone]

why does those garv balls instant trigger sentinels? xD

[median hatch]

thanks alot! 🙂

[quaint urchin]

I think for the fun (shock) that happens the first time you decide to just pick one up.

[orchid stone]

aha 😛

[open dagger]

It does make for ez summon when you need to farm those little creeps. I think that is itheir highest and best use 😉

[orchid stone]

thats true

[ocean gorge]

Picking up your first egg or grav ball in NMS…

[open dagger]

Yeah - that 😉 I was totally unprepared for the whispering egg thing. Was my second day in game and was fighting with my mining beam LOL

[west ember]

Need wiring loom and can't find any... suggestions?

[rare furnace]

You should be able to buy them at space stations

[open dagger]

When desperate i install some tech module i was going to sell for nanites then destroy it - usually drops a loom

The game devs have designed the game play to provide an insane number of solutions to any challenge they have put into the run of play. For example, i now have 17 ways to make chromatic metal on my little cheat sheet 😉 For a new player these expeditions have been an amazing way to learn all the different aspects of this game and good training on how to uncover one of the hundred paths to the top of any mountain you need to climb. Pretty cool really!

[shy nimbus]

And rather than buying certain elements from markets, I can now just raid and set the entire thing ablaze! Piracy is truly a blessing these days in NMS

That'd actually be a cool festure-

[toxic mortar]

Are there other dissomant planets outside the first system?

[solemn bane]

Yes

The system will be marked as "Dissonant" on the galaxy map if it has one.

[solemn bane]

I don't know about you but I am instantly triggered when some traveler touches my balls.

[toxic mortar]

I mean that are in the expedition route.

[solemn bane]

I seem to remember the distance between the rdv systems being pretty far and requiring multiple jumps without a sentinel ship, so you'll likely find a few between the rdv systems if you look around. They are fairly common.

[finite steeple]

...i think that would depend on the traveller.

[quaint urchin]

OMG, I have tears! Thanks!!!

[toxic mortar]

Is there a better way to locate the holoterminal than the signal booster?

[remote thunder]

i used signal booster > first option - worked first try

[quaint urchin]

Do make sure the milestone is the active mission as well...

[toxic mortar]

FIRST option? That is silly as hell. The milestone tells you to "Deploy a signal booster to search for nearby structures"

The options are "Scan for Transmitters" and "Locate nearby Structures", in that order.

And yes, first option worked first try while I wasted a binch of batteries snd time trying the second over and over.

Thank You BTW.

[main wyvern]

Quoted

[solemn bane]

lol yeah there are a lot of times when the game tells you to do the exact wrong thing. I believe we determined it is due to the Atlas malfunctioning, and nothing to do with half-assed coding.

[spark owl]

Ok I need to know can the Cursed Frigate be destroyed?

[dapper pumice]

When’s the next expedition?

[spark owl]

After this one

Probably

[dapper pumice]

Hello! Do you know how can I find cadmium drive to go to a red planet for "its alive" milestone?

I've completed all other milestones and phases... I have no cadmium drive update from other milestone

[remote thunder]

complete and claim phase 2 milestone 2, click on a free ship tech slot

remember that you can get cadmium from x-class positron ejector/infraknife/cyclotron ballista upgrade modules: just install+dismantle. sus packets arms, available on station trade terminals, can drop them

[scarlet stirrup]

ive completed this milestone but I dont have this upgrade. I dont remember dismantling any upgrade as i never do

[scarlet stirrup]

Im not sure i get this one

[remote thunder]

in the space station trade terminal, there's an item called suspicious packets (arms)

you buy a few

save and unpack them

dropped one of the module types i mentioned? install it on your ship, cursor over it again, and press dismantle

dismantle drops resources

those 3 should always drop 125 cadmium + 1 wiring loom

[scarlet stirrup]

ok I got 1 ballista and i positron

X type

[scarlet stirrup]

but I need cadmium drive, isnt it an upgrade for my ship in order to go to red systems?

no just cadmium

[remote thunder]

this would let you go straight to emeril drive

bypass cadmium drive completely

and still be able to get to red and green

a short step away from an indium drive

[scarlet stirrup]

by just fueling the ship with cadmium?

[remote thunder]

emeril drive needs 250 cadmium+4 looms

emeril drive allows ship to warp to green and red star systems

[scarlet stirrup]

ok I have this and I think I got ur point

emeril drive (and other drives), are craftable like Hypercore etc

[remote thunder]

installable tech, yes

[scarlet stirrup]

but I dont have the receip for emeril drive

[remote thunder]

you must

[scarlet stirrup]

how?

[remote thunder]

if

you complete and claim phase 2 milestone 2, click on a free ship tech slot

it will be on the list

so will indium drive

and cadmium drive

[scarlet stirrup]

bro I did it

I didnt know the diff from these 2 blue slots.....

[remote thunder]

cadmium drive allows warp to red stars, emeril drive allows warp to green and red, and indium drive allows warp to blue, green and red

[scarlet stirrup]

thanks fot the help brother

I went there

[mighty heath]

Shout out to abordner1950 for getting me the 1400u milestone

[obtuse jungle]

Love this exp. crazy builds

[west ember]

There is a mountain next to rdz3 that exceeds the 1400 height.
Those stairs are insane.

[mighty heath]

There was another build near this one but whoever it was used stacked walls

I assume they were using an upgrade jetpack cause it felt impossible

[misty plinth]

The nose-grind climb

[west ember]

The one with the stacked refiners? Failed that 6 times before I gave up.

Bone-head move. Found an A class ship and had enough to repair but needed some platinum, which I brought with me to the expedition. Moved stuff to new ship, jumped in old and took off for the anomaly.
Realized I didn't mark the new ship and lost it and all my stuff.
Got it back after I got the freighter but... what a bonehead move.

[languid crypt]

is it possible to sell ships in the expidition with stations being borked?

[supple sedge]

randomly found a sky platform base when going to an ancient ruin a structure marked

so thats nice

wait i thought it finished the thing but then i couldnt claim it gonna have to double check

oh wait this is buggy, theres a derelict within atmos and everything is all messed up

[remote thunder]

not supposed to be there; 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

sorry for the late reply

[supple sedge]

i was able to leave, and if i disabled mp i wouldnt have that sky platform either most likely (Which was built on the axis of the derelict instead of the planet, i think it was weird)

and after my lil space walk i see a tower to heaven

bruh im like 2 units short from the right height from the highest point on this thing

[languid crypt]

where to get mats for colored drives?

[remote thunder]

cadmium drive requires chromatic metal to install (see pinned post, i assume this is about "it's alive" milestone, <#nms-expedition message>. alternatively, you can get cadmium from x-class positron ejector/infraknife/cyclotron ballista upgrade modules: just install+dismantle. sus packets arms, available on station trade terminals, can drop them when unpacked

[languid crypt]

oh ty

seems im too lazy to realize

tyvm!

[remote thunder]

anytime; anything else just let us know

[sly sedge]

Love the use of "borked."

[iron tendon]

Guys, what is the "starship class upgrade" reward from fathoms below? Does it just mean it gives you 8 augmentation slots? Because my starship class is still the same as before

[atomic estuary]

Its supposed to increase your starship's rank

Iirc it was bugged in the original adrift

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[iron tendon]

Well, I'm using a sentinel ship. So maybe it doesn't work on that?

Is it possible to decline the upgrade and keep it for later, similar to declining the slot augmentation upgrades ?

[atomic estuary]

I'm assuming it's supposed to work on all ships and it not working isn't the intended behavior, a bug

Previous report I've seen of the upgrade not working was from a player using A class sentinel interceptor

[atomic estuary]

Its not

[iron tendon]

Maybe it applied to the C class starting ship instead, but I wasn't aware

It also didn't work for my A class sentinel interceptor

[atomic estuary]

No, it's definitely supposed to apply to your current ship

But in the end who knows how that mechanic is implemented

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I would still make a report

[supple sedge]

im having trouble finding the system for its alive in the pins

[last plover]

is there a way to sell mods for nanites in adrift?

[iron tendon]

Thanks, I'll make a report

[unborn prism]

If I sold my Golden Vector or any other expedition reward ship, is it possible to reclaim from the quicksilver merchant? Or is it absolutely gone forever?

[muted granite]

Can reclaim it on another expedition that is launched from your main save, and then copy it over to the main save. Any expedition aside from Adrift, that is.

[unborn prism]

So if I just completed the adrift expedition, claimed it for nanites, then sold it, that means it's gone forever up until I can do the expedition again?

I'm just asking because I want to give a friend one of my ships but idk if that means I would just be able to make another copy of it for myself

[slender sphinx]

Hello, can someone help with the milestone fathoms below?

[wise ore]

I think I can probably help

[slender sphinx]

Ive just finished it 😄

I thought I can't craft a new submarine in a new system.

[wise ore]

🍻

[slender sphinx]

thanks tho 😄

[ocean gorge]

@remote thunder sorry for ping, I know it may be late for you (this isn’t urgent you can reply tomorrow or whenever you look at it) but wanted to let you know the coordinates for rdv 2 are wrong in the pins. I thought they were wrong when I ran the redux the first time, but this time I got a screenshot. I don’t know where y’all “count” taking the coordinates, I took a pic when the milestone triggered at the trade post just so you know

The pins list somewhere else

[reef terrace]

Is there a way to complete “amidst the stars” ? I’ve never encountered this but when I got out of my ship to get to the portal, gravity has been distorted by multiple derelict freighters, luckily someone had a base with a transporter (so I returned to the space station in the same system) but I can’t figure out how to get to the portal as my boosters get disabled because it thinks I’m on one of the derelict freighters. Can anyone give me a solution?

For reference there’s like 5-7 freighters at different angles

[reef terrace]

Sorry I’m stupid I left the game and re opened my save and they were gone

[supple sedge]

i turned off mp for that

yea the buggy derelicts is so bad

[tired badger]

[toxic mortar]

Are all derelicts during the expedition the same?

[wraith junco]

Interior layout is per system

[toxic mortar]

I was wondering if they changed that just for the expedition.

[naive crypt]

I can't even land on the planet on R4 and why are there so many freighters in the sky!!!

[remote thunder]

not supposed to be there; 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

[naive crypt]

Yeah I did that, still can't land so had to find a base nearby to land

[naive crypt]

I am guessing its someone using hacks to grief

Or the game summoning one every time someone finds a derelict

[remote thunder]

"still can't land" - now that's uploaded player bases nearby, the derelict freighters should be gone though and gravity should be back to normal

[remote thunder]

it's players pulse driving towards a planet at the right distance while using an emergency signal scanner

they are visible to others in the same instance

turn off multiplayer, will never see derelict freighters in atmos again

[naive crypt]

And with that, Expedition 13 Adrift is complete!!!

Wow the warp animation of Iron Culture is buggy

[toxic mortar]

I'm condensing and transferring over my hoarde now.

[naive crypt]

Dewit

[toxic mortar]

Is there a bug w/ saving and the personal refiner?

[remote thunder]

none that i can think of - can you elaborate?

[toxic mortar]

I was refining some of the expedition rewards up to Mold to transfer. After it completed I unloaded my refiner and jumped to my main save. When I jumped back my refiner was running and processing Viscous Fluids to Living Slime.

[marble flare]

whats the name of an empty planet

like whats it called ? is it called empty planet

[toxic mortar]

For which milestone?

[marble flare]

synthetic lifeform

[marble flare]

synthetic life form

are they called desolate planet?

[toxic mortar]

No I found it in Phase 2 or 3's Rendezvous system, the system is named "Synthetic Creatures on Planet nm"

[thorny shard]

Where do I go to find people to play with again?

Like which groupe chat is it called?

[marble flare]

i found the marker in galaxy map, but i dont know which planet i am supposed to go to, there is one called hexagon planet , but i found 1 creature and scanned it but nothing happened, still showing scan 2 crfeature

[toxic mortar]

The planet is named "nm"

I posted a picture of the system up above

[marble flare]

yep found it, much appreciated

[ashen shore]

Hey all, having trouble finishing out this one expo but where do I find infected planets

[wraith junco]

The starter one was infected

The ones with worms are infected

[toxic mortar]

Every Redevous planet is infected

[ashen shore]

I'm on rendezvous 1 and been searching for them but keeps telling me i need to find an infected planet, idk my games been glitching on me

[toxic mortar]

What are you looking for exactly.

[remote thunder]

don't worry about the hint - that's been known to fail to register current planet as infested even when it is. look for red titan burrow markers/follow the titan worm

@woven gale iow - in exp13, if planet has cursed dust on resource list (or in non expedition 13 because of absence of cursed dust on planetary resources, uses any of the infested subtype synonyms), then it's infested

[snow hull]

Lmao, how does the expedition work? 😅

Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players ( ) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

[sharp marten]

is it possible to collect worm folios 2 and next in this expedition? I got worm folio 1 dropped but cant get others

[lusty slate]

I've tested that a bunch in Omega and on main. Folios 2-5 are still bugged and won't drop.

[fossil cloak]

Just jumped like 10 times just to get to rendezvous 3. Is there an easier way to do that? Maybe chain the jumps until ypi run out of fuel or something?

[sharp marten]

you can get sentinel ship in starter system, there's a base with one

got pretty cool rear that kinda looks like a car

[ocean gorge]

Clearly a high IQ naming strat🤣

[slender sinew]

How do you guys use portals in this expedition

I don't have any glyphs

[ocean gorge]

You won’t need glyphs for the one portal you’re required to use

You use something else the game has you construct

[slender sinew]

Alright thanks

[proven niche]

What expedition is this?

[remote thunder]

13 adrift

[faint pelican]

I see other player bases in the teleporter and some are for the height milestone. I walked through one to check it out and there was no base there and I fell to the ground. This happened twice. Is this normal? Or is this affected by my having multiplayer disabled? I don’t normally visit other bases so was unsure.

Funnily enough I also saw one that had a landing pad and really nice base built with stairs leading up to just under the required milestone. Tried jet packing and still didn’t make the milestone. Is this just someone being funny? I mean it was funny but just curious. Love this game and the constant learning new things.

[remote thunder]

I walked through one to check it out and there was no base there and I fell to the groun
sounds like they might have built their base too high up, above render limit

Is this just someone being funny?
possibly, or they were able to build more and just didn't upload/those changes hadnt replicated yet after a new upload

i literally got it by flying near rdv2 - and landing on the tallest peak/mountain i could find that actually let me land

exited ship, milestone insta complete

[faint pelican]

Oh that’s helpful! Thanks so much! Sounds easier than finding R2 😂

[remote thunder]

to get there - i just used target sweep and photo mode to figure out what direction it was in - and just melee jetpacked iow base jumped from a cliff 😄

[tiny narwhal]

just finished the expedition. love this game

[remote thunder]

congrats!

[finite steeple]

just realized an expedition was running... how long do i have?

wait you start underwater? thats new

[obtuse jungle]

That is definitely weird

Anybody tried destroying freighters out of fun, there’s more of them than usual lol

[finite steeple]

my name isnt a joke. im a space pirate. lol.

i destroy them to sell for nanites

[low light]

#nms-expedition message

[remote thunder]

the cursed expedition could start underwater, yes - not adrift expedition

[finite steeple]

i just spawned in underwater next to a bunch of shark things and a crystal sulphide rock

[slender sphinx]

how to determine a system with infested planets?

[remote thunder]

every single rendezvous planet is infested

[slender sphinx]

im too far away from the previous rendezvous planets as of now

[remote thunder]

teleport back to a rendezvous system would be the easiest option of all

[slender sphinx]

even tho u don't have a base in it?

[finite steeple]

i feel robbed. i need 120 copper on a planet that apparently has no copper.

[remote thunder]

goto a station teleporter, check space station list: rendezvous system stations have "rendezvous <number>" below their name

[remote thunder]

do you see copper on resource list?

[finite steeple]

different problem. the only copper resource spot ive located with scanner within 1500 u of my ship was a water spawn and had 5 copper in it. everrything else is sodium and cursed dust.

[remote thunder]

buried caches can drop copper, dismantle rocket launcher for 100 copper and 50 cond carbon

what does the hint want you to do?

[grand dock]

i did have the same problem when i launched this expedition redux for the first time

[autumn basin]

Any kind strangers out there want to do the adrift expedition before it ends?

[slender sphinx]

I cant seem to transfer resources, units, nanites etc... from adrift expedition save file to my main save file. Can anyone help?

"Terminus inaccessible, complete the current expedition."

[remote thunder]

you need to complete and claim all milestones, phase and final expedition rewards

[slender sphinx]

I already did

[remote thunder]

only then will it let you unlock the expedition terminus inventory

post a screenshot of your expedition tab

[slender sphinx]

I made a new save file for the "Adrift expedition"

[remote thunder]

new save?

[slender sphinx]

yes

separate

[remote thunder]

then you can't use expedition terminus to transfer items/copy gear to primary

[slender sphinx]

ooof

[remote thunder]

that said

all phase and final rewards have been unlocked account wide

[slender sphinx]

so I cant get the resources units nanites?

😦

[slender sphinx]

yes the exclusive ones

i checked it in my main save file

[remote thunder]

you could transfer resources/items to sell for units and nanites to another player who's on creative/relaxed/normal/survival, so that they can hold those items and resources while you swap saves and rejoin them

finally,

@slender sphinx you could spend that quicksilver; non-consumable quicksilver purchases are also unlocked account wide

[slender sphinx]

the problem is

i dont frequently play with friends in this game

[remote thunder]

hmm, well, could always make some friends here

[slender sphinx]

I should've played expedition in my main save file :3

[remote thunder]

don't worry - the resources and currencies you don't get to your main save - you still got away with a little more knowledge, getting those things won't be difficult. always feel free to ask questions in #nms-questions

[slender sphinx]

Can I at least copy the ship, exosuit, multi tool?

to my main save file?

[remote thunder]

i assume you're talking about the gear you had equipped in expedition; short answer, no

[ashen shore]

how do I find robotic animals? I accidentally warped past the system the marker for the quest was a loong time ago 😭

[remote thunder]

check this post <#nms-expedition message>, and/or <#nms-expedition message> for info on robo fauna spawn requirements

[ashen shore]

tyy!!

[slender sphinx]

yes

[frozen laurel]

The Iron Vulture and Staff are available at the quicksilver merchant account wide. Not any of the tech in your exosuit though.

[slender sphinx]

the currencies in my adrift save file, what a waste 😦

[frozen laurel]

New expedition to do in two days, more experiences, money, and things to be earned there.

[slender sphinx]

Yes, I should've played the expedition in my main save file, not in a new one. 😦

[pliant ridge]

For the scale up to 1400 height, someone built some nice stairs up but only up to 1230. They may have reached a limit or removed stairs to troll, do you think?

[pliant ridge]

Hurry up and start again. At least I think you can do it again that way. I switched but very early on.

[slender sphinx]

I can't afford the stress of rushing it right now. 😦

[pliant ridge]

I see. Sorry about that. 🏵️

[pliant ridge]

Another having an impressive base build with title like 'Really goes to 1400" ended with a nice platform view level at 1000-something. 😁

[slender sphinx]

At least I got the exclusive rewards. 😄

[pliant ridge]

Cool! 👍

[slender sphinx]

how long do these expedition will return in the future again?

[pliant ridge]

After these once a year reduxes, they will have brand new ones. These won't return as the redux is already a second chance. However, not real long ago, they went further back and kind of merged 2 or 3 of them with some rewards that folks were crying about missing out on.

This use of the main base to cross things over is relatively new. This might be the second time, not sure. First time I did it.

[solemn bane]

You mean the main save?

If so I think it's been like that for the last 5 or so expeditions

[pliant ridge]

How nice. At the 2nd Rendevous marker, a mountain to scaled up to 1119, then ghall128 built stairs on top of that to 1400, included two closed rest areas, the last at the top even had a save point. Very much appreciated, ghall128!

[solemn bane]

Also if you're on PC/Mac (or hacked Switch) you can play the old expeditions and get the old rewards. Involves messing with a file in the cache directory and being offline while doing it.

[slender sphinx]

Coz I missed beachhead and didnt finished omega expedition 😦

I just got some time when adrift started

[pliant ridge]

Perhaps can try what @solemn bane said just above...👆

[slender sphinx]

I don't wanna risk it tho...

[solemn bane]

Risk what nm, I actually don't care, lol.

[mystic scaffold]

Should I start a expedition on new save bc idk on my recent what to take so idk if it’s harder on new save

[finite steeple]

if you start over you have nothing. if thats okay with you why send items at all.... just run it on your save so you get credits and nanites and such

[cerulean olive]

Don't bring anything, except fuel. It's not harder on a new save or existing save.

[mystic scaffold]

Ok thanks

Ima start expedition tomorrow on recent save any tips it’s my first ever one so

[cunning sandal]

you do know its over on xmas right on the 25

[mystic scaffold]

Yeah @cerulean olive said it’s easy to complete in a day but it won’t be for me probably bc I’m newer never done a expedition

[cunning sandal]

yes if your newer it will take you more time

[mystic scaffold]

So I should wait till the next which idk when it will be if it’s instant or wait for couple days

[cunning sandal]

this one only took me a day or two. Only beucuse i been playing them sence expeditions started

& it depends on how much time you have to 👍

[mystic scaffold]

True I’ll just wait I just completed the purge quest if that helps

On how new I am

[cunning sandal]

thats cool 👍

[valid magnet]

Braaah 😄

[quaint urchin]

That's funny and not funny at the same time!

Today I learned... When starting the Expedition, if you create a Restore Point as soon as you locate your ship, quit the game completely, and load back in you will have the Portable Refiner blueprint. At least on PC (Steam). I haven't tried Console yet... Edit: I tried it on Xbox and it works there too!

This works on Xbox too. For anyone starting this late that needs the Portable Refiner to speed things along this will be helpful.

[civic kelp]

guys

as I missed a few things (like ship upgrades) last expedition

what should I do before I "finish" this one?

dismantle everything aboard the ship and transfer?

[austere meteor]

yup, especially package sjip upgrades

[civic kelp]

why package, not dismantle? is there anything unique?

[austere meteor]

Because if you package, you can bring them to your main save

or just sell for nanites

[civic kelp]

I think there's nothing special in the vulture, perhaps the fancy trail and atlas figurine

[iron tendon]

Does having extra ships during the exp convert into nanites/units when the exp ends? (Provided I started exp from a primary save)

[languid spoke]

the more ships/frigates you find the more nanites you earn

[iron tendon]

Does this apply even if they're not repaired?

[wraith junco]

There is summary when ending the expedition that coverts your achivements in exp to currency

[shy geyser]

which expedition is reduxing right now?

[wraith junco]

Adrift

[livid drift]

Gotta bumrush phase 2+ for the next 2 days...

oh that's funny. I left off after the whispering eggs step, in the abandoned building where I was playing horror movie peek a boo with the horrors...

Time for the 1400!

I thought someone earmarked a natural place for 1400 units high but I don't remember... so, base hunting it is

[livid drift]

note to self: do not attempt to find the rendezvous point in a firestorm, I can't see AT ALL

[quaint urchin]

Unless you go into the Quick Menu and select the Camera. Then you can adjust the Camera settings for No Clouds, No Fog, and set the time of day. Look around in the picture to get an idea of your surroundings.

[livid drift]

brilliant, thank you!

I uh. I wasn't paying attention and took off in a storm again. and now I realized I'm being blown around. I CAN'T STEER A CAR OR A SHIP

[waxen geode]

Will all the old expedition be repeated 😀 I only got the game mid omega 🤔

[livid drift]

EGADS. never again.

[waxen geode]

🤔 good idea I been waiting on Strom to clear 😀

[livid drift]

ugh. forget it. I'm just gonna hoof it the 1.5k units because it's impossible to see or land anywhere on this planet (rdv 2)

[quaint urchin]

Maybe at some point they will, but all we know for sure right now is the current Holiday Redux schedule: https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/11/holiday-2024-expeditions/

I found a base in the rdv 1 system that spits you right at 1400 (it's on the yellower planet among the reds). Cheers to that person

[crisp zephyr]

Yeah.. overall adrift wasnt very worth it

like 12 hours to get a freighter and a flying brick is kinda mid

but i has cool holo wings

[waxen geode]

I'll try 2

[crisp zephyr]

it*

[livid drift]

🤷 I'm going through it anyway, might as well finish it

[quaint urchin]

Might as well... Plus any currencies you earn as well as Milestone bonuses do transfer back ot your primary save.

As long as you started from the Terminal in the Anomaly that is...

[livid drift]

yup.

This planet is ridiculous though. I wasn't sure that the RDV 2 point is in the mountains, but there are literally mountains everywhere so good luck landing when your 5 minutes of stormless visibility expires

I'm hoping the other stages after 2 are a bit smoother (probably not)

[quaint urchin]

By the time I hit Rendezvous 2 I already had more than 50% of the expedition completed.

[livid drift]

I waited on some of the milestones because I didn't think breaking out of phase 2 would be this hard

[quaint urchin]

You can definitely look through the milestones and pick out some to complete out of order.

The only ones I recommend going in order on are the numbered Rendezvous locations.

[remote thunder]

rdv2 has been a trade outpost always on the bottom of a canyon for me

just passed it again

[waxen geode]

Another idea maybe a better light 😂 it not even good in dark cave, 🤔 maybe dats a PS5 thing

[livid drift]

I did some early from Phase 3

What does "too weak for a distance estimate" mean? Too far away, or is something not charged?

[remote thunder]

too far away - listen for the audio pings

pings left, turn left

pings right, turn right

pings both left and right at the same time - objective is ahead

how far? time to find out

set a visor marker in the direction it's in, maybe even summon ship on the ground with front aligned with target sweep direction, then take off

[livid drift]

Now my landing gear isn't working, I'm mashing E and it's not even responding

just in time for another firestorm

I don't even know if this is a me problem or if something is wrong/I should sent a note to HG

finally landed somewhere... still ~1300u from where the point is

[thick umbra]

Yeah .. landing is a pain in this expedition

[remote thunder]

this seems to be more and more common in rendezvous planets - idk why

that said, in rdv2 - there were no bases nearby, nada

[livid drift]

rdv2 is super mountainous and that doesn't help, but I'd appreciate a spam of "landing not clear" over nothing at all

Maybe I will send a feedback before I try 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

[remote thunder]

yeah, had that happen too, eventually just found some base nearby with a landing pad and landed on that instead

idk if the game is like taking so long to download all nearby bases and such

[livid drift]

then again desperate spamming E probably doesn't help the game while it's processing my crap steering and the hecking fire storm XD

I keep passing by a base that's like. a giant metal angular spiral in the sky. That probably doesn't count for anything though XD

[thick umbra]

I had the impression that the landing finally works when you reduce the speed as much as possible.

[remote thunder]

i was hovering at 0u/s and still couldn't land

so weird

[livid drift]

Yeah, doesn't help when the freaking firestorms are blowing and you are being actually blown around

I'm taking a little break before I try again; it's my first expedition so I don't want to tap out, buuuut x_x

Plus I found some nice things (planets and otherwise) that I'd like to keep...

I'm coming back for these little gigachads, I swear it!

Yes, they're bulky, but they're not even 3 feet tall if I'm reading correctly...

[remote thunder]

still got time, you got this for sure

[livid drift]

I'm drawing a blank, where's the list of reruns/which one is next?

I think I vaguely remember liquidators being next. BUG BUSTING!

[remote thunder]

[livid drift]

I'm looking forward to the fishing, I've heard good things

Oh. then Cursed. I have just... heard THINGS

[wintry void]

Lets just say, I wont be doing the fishing one, most boring thing ever, Id rather sit in a station for an exotic to spawn

[livid drift]

I'm the sort of player that likes ambling around and admiring the scenery XD maybe I'll get some more pretty water shots to add to the collection

[remote thunder]

aquarius was really chill

[wintry void]

so chill, i could feel my brain dying

[livid drift]

so chill you slowed to absolute zero XD

[tiny gale]

anyone know what to pack for wednesdays Liquadators redux

[civic kelp]

so far I enjoyed those three I just did

[wintry void]

Thats why I like cursed one, different mechanic and i found it interesting

[civic kelp]

can't wait for liquidators

[wintry void]

Guns lots of Guns, its mainly shooting stuff

[civic kelp]

perhaps I'll finally copy my MT... how much does that cost?

[livid drift]

I only have a good gun in my adrift run... I want to transfer it back XD

oh, the firestorm finally freaking ended

[civic kelp]

you can

[tiny gale]

whats the best weapon on the MT for sentinels then

[wintry void]

well last liquidators we started with a sentinel mt

[tiny gale]

gonna build it tomorrow

[ashen shore]

I already finished the expedition but been having bad internet past 2 weeks. Do you all know if expeditions can be played offline?

[remote thunder]

got to mess with a file to continue playing it even offline

chekc <#nms-modding message>

[ashen shore]

I’m on ps5

[wintry void]

shield upgrades might be useful too, and the usual uranium and pyerite

[ashen shore]

Ok cool, I probably won’t get my internet fixed till after new years which is why I ask if I can do expedition offline

[tiny gale]

doesnt help much- which weapon does most damage with least shots to kill them all, even if no SC slots used

[ashen shore]

I like scatter blaster and neutron cannon. Scatter blaster has always been my favorite

[tiny gale]

cause i know what works on reg sentinelas isnt always as affective on dissonant

[remote thunder]

afaik:

1. need internet to be able to grab new expedition file
2. need to modify a file in order to extend an expeditions duration so you can actually keep playing it

[ashen shore]

I have enough internet to start something, I just can’t stay connected so sounds like I can still do the expedition offline after starting it on ps5

[remote thunder]

just don't use boltcaster without 6 modules vs corrupted or blaze jav and you'll do just fine with whatever

[wintry void]

i just use pulse splitter on everything

[remote thunder]

neutron cannon is the one everybody goes for it seems

because... top dps woah

[wintry void]

except me

[remote thunder]

and me

[ashen shore]

I prefer scatter blaster

[remote thunder]

i've been a pspitter user for more than 4 years

lol

META? doesn't exist

[wintry void]

i think you get minotaur, or do you i cant remember in liquidators

[remote thunder]

especially when stuff like para mortar and voltaic amp are underrated

what people did in liquidators was use minotaur for everything combat lol

not me, but that doesn't matter

[livid drift]

Blaze javelin seems my style, along with boltcaster

huh, nice, I do have a scatter blaster on my multi tool

[remote thunder]

@tiny gale ever tried neutron cannon? its aoe blast will help a lot

supercharged slots or not

[tiny gale]

just started, worked great ona derelict freighter with those little pesky bugs

[remote thunder]

yep works well there too

[livid drift]

I don't fight much, but I'm sure I'll figure out my style in time...

[remote thunder]

i just dont like NCs aoe when i'm trying to keep a specific unit alive, and the aoe blast gets them

[ashen shore]

Keep in mind, I have s class scatter modules in all 3 super charge slots. I do think neutron cannon is probably best though

[livid drift]

I keep wondering what to put in multitool charge slots... I get nervous about using them

hmm, actually, I'm not sure if my multitool has them? or I can't tell which ones are taken

never mind, I have confused myself. I was looking for jetpack stuff under exosuit X_X I think I'll put jetpack + sprint in those

[remote thunder]

Multitool Tech Layout

This is just an example of adjacency and supercharged slots. Note that supercharging bonuses always beats adjacency bonuses. Therefore, to maximize tech stats, split apart tech to utilize supercharged slots, as they will yield superior results over maintaining perfect adjacency.

For more in-depth assistance, check #nms-questions & #nms-multitools.

Contributors: Atlas Emissaries & Dharhan

[remote thunder]

supercharging rule of thumb:

• if weapons, supercharge core tech then modules
• if not weapons, supercharge modules

[livid drift]

ooooh that's good stuff

It'll probably be a while till I'm in position to set that up

...especially because I'm sliding on my butt down mountains to get to rdv 2, STILL

[unkempt kraken]

@sly sedge

No gifs in this channel please

[civic kelp]

@remote thunder any advice beyond the obvious?

[sly sedge]

Ok Neo.

[wintry void]

😆

[solemn bane]

That should be fine. You just need to grab the new expedition info, then you can play offline until the end date. I default to doing that because I hate all the junk that comes with playing expeditions online.

You'll keep all your rewards and other items/progress. At least that's true for PC.

[sly sedge]

Wait, what are "adjacency" bonuses?

[remote thunder]

if you're going to copy gear, then you don't need to package ship or MT tech/modules - only do it for suit basically. remember that you can use the expedition terminus stash to transfer stuff multiple times, "multiples 8+24 slots"

[remote thunder]

in short, keeping it simple, when tech/modules of the same type are placed in adjacent slots, they get small bonuses - the more connected borders with stuff of the same type, the more bonuses are collected

[sly sedge]

Hmm, might be time to re-arrange my multi-tool slots.

[livid drift]

Rearranging doesn't cost anything, right?

[sly sedge]

Nope.

Just gotta have the space to do the re-arranging.

If I'm gonna be doing a lot of killing in Liquidators, I might just import a lot of nanite producing stuff, and import my regular multitool.

[quaint urchin]

If you don't have space, you can package up a module or two to make room. Just don't forget to put them back...

[livid drift]

My MT in Adrift is "Comforting Ion Generator" and something about it being "comfort" in the ~empty abandoned space~ makes me want to keep it

I love me a good emergent narrative...

I think I'm almost there, FINALLY

so much butt sliding down mountains

[open dagger]

I have been playing these expeditions from my main save and moving the best suited multitool over for the run - it's worked well once i can warp & call Anomaly. This next run for bugs and sentinels I am thinking about removing all non-essential buffs to see if it has any effect on enemy scaling. I've heard it does but not tested to verify.

[remote thunder]

yes, game does scaling to prevent new saves from being unable to defeat sentinels for example

[open dagger]

And is that based on or related to the number of buff modules on the tool?

[remote thunder]

probably both

as long as they're buffing something that is actually installed

[open dagger]

Cool, tyvm

Not to be a min/max'er but every little bit helps a new player. Just in Adrift i figured out that i kept dying fighting sentinels because i was using plasma + scatter BUT using the plasma at too close a range and killing myself every time. Couldn't figure out why and then i finally caught a tip that flashed on the screen that called out my noobness..

[livid drift]

FINALLY, rdv2 gotten

and now I will NEVER COME BACK TO THIS PLANET (probably)

[remote thunder]

🫂 ah yeah, that can happen (i think you're confusing pulse spitter with plasma cannon though - the latter does do self damage)

[open dagger]

Yes, Plasma - sorry

[remote thunder]

yep, probably not

[remote thunder]

plasma has to be used with some care yeah 😅

[civic kelp]

thanks @remote thunder

btw is plasma the secondary "grenade" thingy ?

[livid drift]

do we need the larval cores we collect for anything, or can we sell them?

My inventories are getting full X_X

[solemn bane]

Refine them for a good amount of nanites.

[sly sedge]

You can sell them, but refining them for nanites is a better idea.

Or keep them, and import them into the next expedition to refine into nanites.

[livid drift]

Sounds good, I'd heard they were good for currency period

[sly sedge]

In my main save, I have a lot of nanites, so I tend to save the Nanite producing products, and import them into expeditions,.

I also make sure to have a Mark 2 personal refiner.

[remote thunder]

nah plasma launcher is a primary weapon, confusing it with paralysis mortar perhaps?

[livid drift]

giant purple butterfly, mostly aimless... HUNTS SENTINELS.

[civic kelp]

yes, indeed 🙂

[remote thunder]

that said, they love star bramble - we've got something in common

[livid drift]

I've also heard good things about Star Bramble...

I'm tempted to build a base on this planet... it's another nice purple one (aside from the RAIN)

The sentinels are a bit of a turnoff though

[remote thunder]

would probably be able to shut them down, if planet has at least 1 sentinel pillar building

something to do in a diff game mode, i'd say

[eternal yarrow]

Thanks for letting me know

[ashen shore]

Honestly, I just build the Minotaur exosuit right away. Then I can fight anything with no stress

[livid drift]

I just restored a ship, but I really don't want to use it X_X how does salvaging/getting rid of ships you don't really want work?

[bitter anchor]

You go to the space station, behind the mission agent there is a station where you can scrap ships

[livid drift]

Excellent

...now this is a silly question, the tech modules we get for our ships aren't all expected to be installed, are they?

[bitter anchor]

You can keep them and not install them if you wish

[livid drift]

Okay good

[bitter anchor]

You can also install them and take them out later

[remote thunder]

to be clear, since we're in #nms-expedition: it doesn't, not in expedition13

[livid drift]

well yes-

[bitter anchor]

Oh yeh

[livid drift]

oh never mind, somehow I thought it was automated/done on the computers in a station not an NPC

[remote thunder]

that's not it

in exp13, all stations are abandoned - they lack the starship outfitting terminal, used to scrap or upgrade

[livid drift]

yeeeeah

okay, well, I checked the box, and now that ship can just stay there XD

Next stop is finding indium for blue systems...

[remote thunder]

for "it's alive"?

indium drive takes emeril to craft

emeril drive takes cadmium to craft

cadmium drive takes chromatic metal to craft

[remote thunder]

that said, see ^

[bitter anchor]

Just look at bases in the teleport menu, there are several called things like "synthetic fauna here

[remote thunder]

(the milestone itself sets a current mission pathline in gmap to a suitable system, but will ofc require indium drive)

[livid drift]

Yeah, I have the emeril drive, so I'm hunting green systems

[remote thunder]

uncharted green systems

watch the hint

[livid drift]

...yeah

I thought they were all uncharted- OH

so it doesn't NEED to be on a blue planet?

[remote thunder]

uncharted are systems with no race icon on them

no

[livid drift]

Yee. I've found a few uncharted reds near my spot

So I can wait and look around before hopping all the way across the galaxy

I was referring to the system someone highlighted in pins with 4 mechafauna

[remote thunder]

that would work yeah

[livid drift]

I am experiencing bad brain toots, if I hit a system and it shows that hint, I'm good to go?

[remote thunder]

yeah - there's a suitable planet in the system just need to figure out which one

[slender sinew]

The rendezvous points are so far

Feels like I've been warping for ever

Like 15 warps and still not there

[livid drift]

Is there a way to organize/auto-sort inventory I am DYING

[remote thunder]

if you started from new save, easiest way to deal with this is to get a sentinel ship from the dissonant planet in the starter system

[slender sinew]

No this is My main save

[remote thunder]

before i left the starter system, i already had 1kLY+ range

[slender sinew]

Also is there an advantage with the sentinel ship?

Does it have longer warp distance or something?

[remote thunder]

crimson core, their base hyperdrive tech alone grants +600 LY range

[livid drift]

lol, this warp just put me in front of an Atlas interface... tempted to check it out

[slender sinew]

Damn
I should have copied one from My main save
But they didn't have indium and cadmium drives

Will have to add that for next expedition

[remote thunder]

easy to get in exp13 redux anyway

@slender sinew you're still going to have to do a restore crashed ship milestone - might as well use a sentinel ship site for that

[livid drift]

I didn't expect anything in the interface... space stations get merged back into main save right? I could just use that as a bookmark

[slender sinew]

I already did the milestone didn't get a good ship

[remote thunder]

yes, space stations should merge, but i honestly wouldn't risk it and would rely on base computers instead

[slender sinew]

And couldn't scrap it so I left it there

[livid drift]

never mind, sentinels came after me X_X

I feel like I'm stupid, WHY is it so hard to pick systems to go to on the galactic map

I just want to get to a green system

And all the greens are either actually yellow or... not uncharted

[remote thunder]

here's what i do:

1. set lifeform filter
2. ignore non-white stars
3. ignore largest non-white stars (red stars for sure, spectral class M or K)
4. look for spectral class E

spectral class K (red star) system

so instead of that K there, you want an E

[livid drift]

How do you set that filter?

I did find an E system so I can at least start hunting emeril

[remote thunder]

top right, from default to lifeform

ignore all non-white stars, ignore all the biggest, fattest non-white stars

blue and green star stars are physically smaller in the galaxy map, red stars are the largest stars you'll see

after a while, that difference will be even more apparent

[livid drift]

took me a moment to figure out how to do it

what does lifeform filtering do exactly?

my brain is COOKED, I can barely navigate my inventory

I picked something up, can't make out its icon. guess I should ask for a search function

[remote thunder]

when lifeform is selected:

• yellow stars are gek systems
• teal stars are korvax systems
• red stars are vykeen systems
• white stars are uncharted systems

(plus, it darkens galaxy map background, making it easier on the eyes for prolonged galaxy map usage)

(if/when you start using spectral class letters instead of colors to identify systems, you don't need the default filter)

[livid drift]

INDIUM DRIVE GET

[slender sinew]

Anyone remember the starting system for the expedition

Trying to find the space station

[livid drift]

I'm working on this- I forget blue class, but the E class is easy enough to find

[remote thunder]

blues are going to be B or O, reds K or M

[remote thunder]

Xillup

[slender sinew]

Thankss
Let me see if I can find a sentinel ship

[remote thunder]

can probably get it done faster if you check the station teleporter for any other player bases with "sentinel ship" or "harmonic camp" in their names

[slender sinew]

Alright then

[remote thunder]

that said, on your own, it depends how fast you can/the game will "let you" find a echo locator

[livid drift]

I got a bunch of minotaur stuff from my last milestone- how do I do anything with that?

[remote thunder]

could use minotaur for phase 5 milestone 2 for example (i just use the sentinel ship hover capabilities and rocket launcher to 1shot them)

could use radar array to scan for distress signals to get a crashed ship site

could use minotaur for its weather hazard immunity

[slender sinew]

Found a base that claims to have a sentinel ship but saw this

[livid drift]

No I mean I literally don't understand how you even build/get the minotaur wth what you get

I have to take a break I am struggling here

[remote thunder]

that's a harmonic camp, that you can use to get a sentinel ship site location/marker, but there's a few things to do first. first got to unlock that terminal

[remote thunder]

yeah, that might be best. that said, i didn't use minotaur for anything in this expedition

[slender sinew]

Oh thankss

[remote thunder]

you basically start by building the minotaur geobay. it spawns in, you get in it - weather immunity on.

then open inventory, switch to its tab, click on a free tech slot - what techs you got?

cannon is great for combat

[slender sinew]

Sentinel ship acquired 🌟🌟

Time to resume warping

[livid drift]

Ohhh so it's a separate build thing. Like build mode build?

[remote thunder]

yeah, got to build the geobay first when you're on a planet

[livid drift]

That makes so much more sense, I sometimes forget what's built vs installed vs crafted

[placid jungle]

Help. What spawns ancient ruins? I keep getting settlements/camps and space ports

[slender sinew]

Finished the expedition

[placid jungle]

Is it a planet type thing?

[remote thunder]

with the milestone selected, drop a signal booster, use first option, be sure to be in a gek/korvax/vykeen system planet

[placid jungle]

So planet type doesn't matter just system?

Like pillar or caustic acid planet doesn't change it?

[remote thunder]

well, i'd not use planets with rusted metal or gold in resource list

for example, any rendezvous planet is fine

[placid jungle]

Lol is there a way to tell which one i went too? I already left that one but I'm in the same system

I'm on the stage 3 rendezvous for reference

[slender sinew]

It says I can't claim this because I don't have a freighter
Does the reward expire or something?

I just noticed, the reward freighter for Phase 4/Derelction comes with a fighter in the hangar

[ocean gorge]

@remote thunder is there a reason y’all didn’t fix the Rdv 2 coordinates in the pins?

Is it just really hard to fix since it’s a, template of some sort?
I guess on one hand, there’s not much time left😅

[void cairn]

Thanks

[remote thunder]

the reason why that is is that we've been doing research on it - we've come to notice that rendezvous locations, depending on POI used, might not be the same for everyone anymore

i ran through it today, and it didn't match

[ocean gorge]

Huh, interesting

[remote thunder]

something changed in the way the devs work with rdvs possibly

but yes, for the next expedition we'll be keeping a closer eye on it

[ocean gorge]

I know the coordinates listed, didn’t work for any of my platforms (PS5, Series X, and Switch). I didn’t grab the coordinates when I ran through on PS5. The coordinates I gave you was for my run on Series X (still finishing) I used those to find it for Switch and it worked (still finishing). So that’s interesting if HG is now using different locales for some of the RDV points

The others so far (haven’t gotten to the last rdv yet, except for PS5 which I’ve finished) have all worked. Curious it’s just been rdv 2 the coordinates have not worked for me🤷‍♀️

[remote thunder]

thanks for drawing attention on it 🙂 i'll try to keep you posted on anything we find

oops sorry for the ping 🙂

[ocean gorge]

No worries

As someone who playtests for Unknown Worlds (maker of Subnautica etc) but someone who doesn’t understand a lot about programming, I’m always interested to learn more about how games work❤️

They were just barely starting to teach any computer science back when I finished high school. They taught me BASIC in HS lol🤣

[wintry void]

It might be a workaround hg came up with about my feedback about an earlier expedition with people building bases on RVs to stop folk completing

[slender sinew]

unrelated to the expedition but is there a way to get an s class freighter for free

I've been doing space battles and saving freighters but all I get are B and C classes

[wintry void]

There is a max 5% chance everytime a freighter spawns of it being s class, so 95% or more of it not being s class depending on economy tier

[slender sinew]

How do I check the economy?

[wintry void]

Galaxy map, 1, 2, or 3 star economy or outlaw

[slender sinew]

Alright

Sorry, we all are under NDAs as you guessed. But early access is planned for some time next year (Steam, Epic, and Microsoft, including Series X/S GamePass). Very excited, we’re all looking forward to that🎉

What are you guys doing for the nanite milestone?

[quaint urchin]

Refining Radiant Shards is good. 50 each...

[ocean gorge]

I refined a lot of radiant shards. Inverted mirrors are worth even more if you want to hunt the dissonant resonators but it’s slower, and since the time is running to a draw, it’s up to you

#nms-expedition message
this has some of the nanite refinement ratios

Finished on Switch, and had already finished on PS5🎉🎉🎉
Just need to wrap things up for my Series X save now

Will be so happy when cross-save rolls out to everyone

[fossil cloak]

Oh wow I didn't even know you could refine things to get them. Looks like 10k tainted metal will do the trick

[ocean gorge]

Tainted metal refines 2:1 I think, so you likely won’t need that much for the milestone

[fossil cloak]

I stopped it at 400. But if I refined all of thay it would give me like 5k

Man I spent so much time trying to find all the fauna on this planet and I could've just done that the whole time 🫠

[fringe gale]

Wow, so many 'towers of Babel' on Degat 31/P6

One goes to 1399. 😛

[void cairn]

I'm trying to land on a planet (Rendezvous 4) and it simply won't land.

[ocean gorge]

I visited one place that was supposed to go to 1400, climbed ALL THOSE STEPS, and it didn’t even register 1400 for me. So just be careful

[ocean gorge]

Maybe reload? Or is it a problem with the terrain not loading in (that used to happen to me a lot on expeditions with the older gen consoles)

[hollow osprey]

Are the rendezvous planets this weird if you visit them in the regular game too?

[ocean gorge]

You mean them all being abandoned systems? I don’t know if that will change once the expedition is over🤷‍♀️

[hollow osprey]

Like with the Derelict freighters floating in the atmosphere and the ground being weird angles and stuff

[ocean gorge]

The planets themselves, other than how most of them have titan worm burrows and such, aren’t really that unusual in terms of NMS. Granted quite a lot of them do have extreme weather, but even that’s not too uncommon (it can happen)

[hollow osprey]

Gotcha, they're really cool, have never seen anything like them while I've been playing

[ocean gorge]

The derelict ghost frigate is expedition specific
You can use one of those emergency broadcasters (can get one free per week at the anomaly, otherwise purchase from scrap dealer at space station) to run a derelict freighter encounter in any system any time you want to

[hollow osprey]

Interesting. I have seen at a couple of the rendezvous points the derelicts in the atmosphere. Had no idea that was possible. Would be cool to put a base close to those though it also seems like that might break your game lol
