They are nice and juicy after all

[vital vine]

now i am adicthed to taking sentinel capitol ships down, i may need to go touch some grass

[fringe sierra]

Let's go 74% left of the final tier

Lol I just had a thought. How many players do u think are out there NOT in this discord and are just kill8ng thousands of these things trying to make it go up

I.e. unaware of the 150 daily cap

[frozen laurel]

So many. I don't think there's an ingame notice about the daily cap.

[placid dew]

Don't care about the daily cap, I'm just doing my part.

you are my hero, btw. got 2 MTs to S-class with your trick

[plain viper]

i have 429 horrors eliminated but still phase 3 optional not completed. How many more do i need to kill to get to phase 4 optional?

[chilly mica]

Been about a year since I played this game, when did they change it to that you need to spend nanites to claim previous expedition ships now?

[plain viper]

i am a horrid shooter....

[gray mortar]

unsure, where are you killing? i have way less than that but all 4 milestones. i've just been killing a handful in each infestation system

[plain viper]

Ipsow III

[atomic estuary]

Its a combined effort of the community, one player can contribute 150 kills per day towards a common goal

You can't finish it alone

[atomic estuary]

Mb

Seems like most of them are done

[plain viper]

but I don't see it completed for me Phase 3

so i don't seem to be able to move to phase 4

[gray mortar]

is there a quick way to tell what planets will generate storm crystals? need to repair my dang minotaur

[topaz kettle]

anyone know an easy way of finding an aggressive creature

[atomic estuary]

I don't remember exact number but you should be way past that

Check if you have connection to online discovery service in discoveries tab, maybe try to restart your game 🤔

[plain viper]

that was what was wrong!!!! thank you thank you so much.

[atomic estuary]

If a planet has Activated stellar metal (copper, cadmium, emeril or indium) there is a chance that it'll have storm crystals

You can see them on a planet after you land, they won't show on a visor if its not storming

If you land and after a short search you see none then that planet probably won't have any

On planets with storm crystals you will see Storms every couple minutes

[gray mortar]

ok so i only need community milestone 5, i can safely mark complete, load up my outbound terminal inventory and then...use my main menu to return to primary and collect? while still being able to go back in to get the arm?

[atomic estuary]

If you just click "return to the primary save" you will be able to resume the expedition later and claim the reward when community completes the milestone

End the expedition wraps up your expedition and you can't go back

There is also a Return to primary save button in the pause menu

Its under reload buttons

[gray mortar]

i'm just trying to figure out how to do multiple loot transfers without screwing something up in advance lol

also how do i check on my daily contribution to the community goal? is it just the "Horrors Eliminated" medal?

[remote thunder]

check Catalog&Guide/Milestones/Mercenary Guild;

[wraith junco]

U can also count the bug loot

[hollow shore]

Sentinels too. Full list of things that matter
https://imgur.com/sPwU9Cr

Ah yes, Bug loot too of course, for those optional milestones

[gray mortar]

the optional milestones are what i'm trying to track because i know there's daily limits on kills

[twilit rain]

Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like multiple loot transfers have been "fixed". I have to hit the "End Expedition" button before I can load items into the transfer terminal. That's new since the last expedition redux.

[gray mortar]

ok that's what i was experiencing and didn't have the prior knowledge

ty

[twilit rain]

np. Only my third expedition, and was surprised that little loophole existed. Used it quite a bit and am a little sorry to see it's gone.

[sharp marten]

Ok thanks

So it's one of the easier ones I guess?

[finite scaffold]

And remember you can't access it until you already warped once, so don't expect to have stuff for repairing the ship or launch thrusters

[sharp marten]

Yeah as usual

[civic kelp]

I've little experience, it's my 4th, but so far easiest. and fastest.

[finite scaffold]

It's a little annoying with the horrors spawning every time you park near a waypoint beacon though

[sharp marten]

Last expeditions, "visit ancient ruins" was my biggest pain, any ruins required for this one?

[finite scaffold]

And in a little over two weeks we have to deal with the cursed chasing us all the time too

[civic kelp]

is this one fun?

[finite scaffold]

I thought so, but I have fun even rerunning expeditions

So I'm kinda biased

[wraith junco]

I liked it. Its more story lore focused.

[quaint urchin]

Just wait for all of the optional milestones to complete. You have to complete and claim "All Milestones" for the terminal to unlock.

[twilit rain]

Ah, OK, that's the difference.

[split patio]

found the alluring specimen what now? mine it?

[remote thunder]

yep, and hang around - abyssal horror just spawn shortly after - if not find anoter

[split patio]

so if you harvest the green glowing bulbs the monstrosity appears

[remote thunder]

sorry for the late reply; right, be sure to have gun equipped

[lucid python]

Can anyone get me an update on optional 5?

[gloomy night]

On an ocean planet but can't find alluring specimen

To complete the lure one deep sea monstrosity

Milestone

[chilly mica]

It still feels weird coming back after a year and needing to buy my golden vector with nanites now instead of just claiming it

It's fair balancing, just caught me off guard

It's not like nanites are hard to find

[main nimbus]

Where can you buy it?

[chilly mica]

Anomaly

You have to have it unlocked from pioneers or whatever re-release it came from

[main nimbus]

Ah I see

[chilly mica]

And then you can buy it at the quicksilver vendor for 1400 nanites

[fossil marten]

So I used the AI thingy I got from doing the Walker milestone and I was in the process of finding the sentinel interceptor it was leading me to until it disappeared on me. Did I just waste the AI thingy?

[frozen laurel]

Check if it is listed in the Mission Log.

[fossil marten]

it had disappeared from the mission log. But in my troubleshooting, I reloaded to an earlier save point and the interceptor is in my Mission Log again.

[fossil marten]

now the weirdest thing keeps happening: an NPC keeps flying off with the interceptor.

I'm thinking I need to just completely restart the game to deal with this pesky bug

[fossil marten]

yep, that fixed the bug. I feel like I've had a productive day - had help taking down the walkers, then got an A-Class Frigate (main save has a C-Class so I'm going to clean it out before I swap), and the interceptor is also an A-Class.

[fossil marten]

I remembered wrong, the interceptor is a B-Class. Still good.

[slender sphinx]

how to finish this milestone, "fire in the hole"?

[frozen laurel]

Launch a grenade at the spawn point when they're close together.

[slender sphinx]

I dont get it, I installed the plasma launcher yet I can't use it?

[gray mortar]

when does the "day" reset for the kills limit?

[gray mortar]

plasma launcher is a secondary. if you're using kb+m, middle click to swap to it

[slender sphinx]

yes It says the mouse 3

[gray mortar]

mouse 3 to change, mouse 2 to use

[slender sphinx]

but when I use mouse 3

it will swap still to my scatterblast

[gray mortar]

so you'll want to have mining laser on mouse 1, plasma on mouse 2. crack an egg, and then mouse 2 like 1 second later

[slender sphinx]

there no grenade thing

[frozen laurel]

Charge it up.

[gray mortar]

upon install isn't it at 100?

[slender sphinx]

I think I got it now

but where to find several enemies at a time

[frozen laurel]

At an abandoned building, shoot an egg and they'll come out. Or crush a grub worm.

[storm fiber]

where do I find an abyssal horror?

[slender sphinx]

gonna try this later, thanks 😄

[storm fiber]

sorry, I mean alluring specimans

[frozen laurel]

Deep water.

[storm fiber]

I am trying some water at dropzone 4 will it be there??

[low jackal]

yes use your visor to find them

interact with it, then shoot whatevet comes out

[dark topaz]

Anyone wanna play? PS5 Radoyuko is my psn

[gaunt path]

This stupid abyssal horror is agitating

[wraith junco]

Look for red icon

[gaunt path]

🙃 Ik the problem is there isnt any

I also sold my advanced laser thingy by accident so the dang lures aint gonna do crap if they did anything before

[vital vine]

you are not alone the struggle is real also any luck with your abyssal horror issue?

[iron sedge]

go to one of the rendezvous systems and check the station teleport menu, there's usually some helpfully-named player bases next to alluring specimen spawnpoints

[placid dew]

I tested Neutron Cannon and its more effective at clearing the horrors lmao.

[knotty vector]

If an expedition is started from the home screen, is there a way to make the rewards go to my main save, its my first time doing an expedition

Also should I wait for the community progress to finish before finishing

[placid dew]

I did my part again!

[agile glacier]

Do you think I could do the expedition in like a day

Or do I need like two

[remote thunder]

you could do it in a few hours

all expeditions are about 3-6h

[agile glacier]

Oh I thought they were longer

[indigo falcon]

you can finish earlier but you'll need to pay quicksilver for the rewards you weren't able to claim yet

[indigo falcon]

if you didn't start from your main save, then you are out of luck on that

[indigo falcon]

they are if you are not experienced, not following a guide, etc. liquidators is pretty speedy if you just focus on getting it done

and I think there are already guides available on how to zip through it pretty quickly

[remote thunder]

just make sure you're not watching a guide for the original run

[stiff spear]

Is finding corrupted sentinels supposed to be hard??? There are none

[remote thunder]

are you on a dissonant planet?

[stiff spear]

That's the thing I'm attempting to find one and I've been jumping stars for about an hour and still haven't found a dissonant planet

[remote thunder]

@agile glacier anything just ask, but if you keep multiplayer disabled, and are patient/know to wait/force cycle hints as your main ways to get info on how to get stuff done - and also scroll through/read important pinned posts here, you shouldn't have a problem to complete it in a few hours, certainly wouldn't need a day of gameplay to complete it

[elfin portal]

Is it just better in general?

[indigo falcon]

got an economy scanner? worth getting one so yo ucan see if it says "dissonant system" on the end

[unkempt kraken]

@stiff spear
-# to view info below, enable embeds

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]

no need for eco scanner

it basically just replaces "Water"

[indigo falcon]

oh, mb

[remote thunder]

you're fine, just misremembered i know

[indigo falcon]

guess I was thinking of outlaw systems

[remote thunder]

yeah

[indigo falcon]

just scan around in the galaxy map though until you spot one

no need to waste all that warp fuel

[misty kite]

same

[remote thunder]

start with the systems near you

they're common enough

[placid dew]

Yeah, AoE damage means that you can just spawnkill multiple biological horrors in one shot. They respawn immediately after being killed, so keep pulling the trigger and you'll rack hundreds of kills in one swarm wave!

[placid dew]

I guess this is the part that I've done for this expedition... before the community objective is done. (Currently in phase 5 at 88%)
I've also done the whole expedition... again.

I have done my part, and I am glad that I did.

[tough sluice]

So two questions: Does everyone already have all the rewards from the optional steps even though they aren’t done yet? And related question: Does that mean we don’t strictly have to compete the optional steps now?

[remote thunder]

anyone that hops in the game and has the quicksilver for it, who hasn't completed the optionals in exp14's original run, can just unlock the liquidator blueprints from the anomaly qs shop, and unlock them account wide as well.

[tough sluice]

Interesting

Okay cool

Wasn’t sure 😃

[misty kite]

you did waaaay more then just "your part", if only it actually counted all of those for the community instead of having a 150 limit per day.

but otherwise great job

[vital vine]

I Think I need to go touch some grass

[gray mortar]

Speaking of, anyone got an idea when the daily reset is?

[vital vine]

also when your planet is exited to see you

[vital vine]

wow dude thats a lot of horrors nice work

[frigid shard]

Is there a Dissonant System anywhere near Rendezvous 1, 4, or 5?

[frigid shard]

Finished that, where should i go for the Predator mission?

Ooor not

[vital vine]

if you check the terminus teleporter there are a bunch of bases

[frigid shard]

Yeah I got it

On to the final mission: walk in the rain

[fossil marten]

there's one near 5. It's where my Carrier AI led me to. I only had to jump once (just to leave the Ren 5 system).

[waxen geode]

🤔 at the end of a expedition is it best 2 look around & sell anything you have left in ship & suit.
Or do you get the best rate letting the game give U credit wen closing expedition.

Like how I waiting on the final liquidation 2 hit 100%

[ashen shore]

Anyone know how to find a dissonant system. Been searching for 2 hours

[wraith junco]

Look for "dissonant" word where "water" usualy is in galaxy map system info.

[ashen shore]

I had bad rng then

Thanks my dood

[solemn bane]

Yeah it’s just ridiculous. Even against sentinels, and even at range the Neutron Cannon is overpowered. I wont even bother doing a derelict freighter one without it, in case I get the stupid baby aliens that take ages to kill otherwise.

[fossil marten]

Serious? Now I'm regretting not copying over the multitool from my main which is the one I got from Omega Redux. I've been using the Scatterblaster.

[solemn bane]

Yeah. As Turf mentioned it kills all the Horrors as they spawn in one shot, and it blows off all the sentinel armor in one shot except for the big walker. Depending on the difficulty settings it’ll kill groups of sentinels in one shot too. This expedition has the damage setting cranked super high, so it’s even more crazy.

[gloomy night]

Optional 5 100%

[gaunt path]

Nah I went to bed shortly after. Decided to leave it for tomorrow me considering I made it to the 4th stage in 3 hrs. I decided it was good enough progress for now

What about u?

[orchid dock]

What's the current expedition?

[gray mortar]

Liquidators

[grim vortex]

So I finished the expedition and now I can't find the Liquidator parts in any blueprint catalogue. Was I supposed to send them back at the terminal?

[civic kelp]

nice

[civic kelp]

we got plans for parts, not parts themselfs.

the main question: are the plans automatically unlocked for other save files?

[grim vortex]

So I had to send the plans back through the terminal? Which means I'm out of luck

Because they don't appear to be in the Expedition Rewards at the Quicksilver Vendor

[civic kelp]

I don't think you cansend plans. you can craft and pack

try going to a planet, spawning minotaur and going into it's inventory

[grim vortex]

No Liquidator parts or plans in inventory.

Guess I'm screwed.

[civic kelp]

can you craft them?

[grim vortex]

Nope.

[civic kelp]

like, in technology slots, press x and so on

😦

how about the other tab at qs vendor?

[grim vortex]

These are the sort of things that make me grumpy. Every other expedition reward is available at the Quicksilver Vendor. Why these ones aren't, I don't understand.

[finite scaffold]

They are available in the regular quicksilver vendor

[grim vortex]

Thank you. I was looking in Expedition Rewards.

[shrewd pelican]

The unique rewards are unlocked for other saves when you claim them from the anomaly

So once you find the anomaly you can get the unique looks again

[civic kelp]

but are they free of charge?

[finite scaffold]

It's a way he can get them if he can't see them in the expedition rewards, paying is a smoll price

[civic kelp]

couple k of qs?

[fringe sierra]

No their yours

Their unlocked. Just accept them from qs shop. No cost.

[finite scaffold]

Thats what I thought, but I first got them so long ago I wasnt positive and I didnt want to give him false hope

thank you CWMonkey, needed the cursed one on 22nd Jan thanks for the link

[ocean gorge]

Found another way you can complete the “Fat of the Land” milestone (by accident of course, lol)
Maybe y’all knew this, but just thought this might also help people reach the goal (I do change my expedition settings a bit, but I don’t think any of them would alter how this milestone is accomplished). No mining required. Maybe someone could verify just to be sure, but anything that might be of help
@remote thunder @indigo falcon @wraith junco (since y’all offer advice frequently)

Should work for spam collecting large groups of oxygen or sodium, which are easier to see at night if doing flyovers on planets

[remote thunder]

ah plants? thank you - i was indeed aware 🙂

(my fav way resumes itself to 2 words: "optical drill")

[ocean gorge]

Even with that, I didn’t find a place to meet that milestone until later, but that’s fine. Its not like I was worried about not completing it😂

[remote thunder]

😄

[ocean gorge]

Runaway mould also would likely give you plenty especially with the optical drill

There are RM farms

Idk if that counts, but I’m assuming it does

[wraith junco]

Its not really a hard task imo. Most have problems with fat of the land task bc they are not familiar with mechanics.

[finite scaffold]

Yea, I got it on accident farming ferrite in my ship shooting at a planet

[ocean gorge]

Main issue for me early on is a lot of things are mixed resource, so it won’t count😂

[remote thunder]

for anyone still going into it, remember: just make sure to watch the hint, not the resource drop notification

[ocean gorge]

Yeah I noticed that too, the top resource count isn’t in line with the milestone goal

Feels bad man. This person built a base and you can’t access it because the terrain built back in and blocked doors on both sides. Not even by much, but just enough to where you can’t enter

[remote thunder]

base made for geks?

😅

[ocean gorge]

Lol

Crouch in NMS when

[remote thunder]

i'd indeed like that

[quaint urchin]

Also remember you can use the Camera from the Quick Menu and change the time of day to when it's dark to scan the area for groups of plants. It's how I found these...

[tired badger]

Wait I’m reading that we can’t do multiple transfers at the end of the expedition anymore?

What if I fill up a starship and copy it?

[frozen laurel]

Use this process, from the pins: #nms-expedition message

[frozen laurel]

Nothing in cargo transfers.

[tired badger]

This links me to transfer multiple ships. I’m asking about transferring stuff

[peak creek]

i didnt find the Minotaur blueprints from expedition in my main save after completed expedition

why?

(the blueprints from community quest ones)

[open dagger]

There are two steps to making multiple transfers. Follow the pins iin this channel but note that there are two steps to ending the expedition,. The first time you click end expedition it will unlock the items transfer. Once you have it loaded you do the saves and switch back and forth as many times as you need. When done there will be another finish expedition to select and that wraps up everything.

[frozen laurel]

Same process.

[open dagger]

Yes, it works fine as you pointed out.

Sometimes people are hesitant to click that first End Expedition thinking that will close off any further transfers and do not realize it is just the first step to unlock the grids. I was very nervous the first time tbh.

[tired badger]

Thanks. This is what I’m used to. Earlier in the channel someone said this wasn’t possible anymore, but sounds like it is!

[tired badger]

You won’t. Go to the QS vendor and search for them. Instead of costing QS, it’ll say “available”

[vital vine]

oh i finished in 2 days i have been doing my part, 1601 sentinels gone. abyssal horrors are either the eyeball stalk inthe water surveying device should say abyssal horror sratigt out that wil be the one that gives up the hypnotic eye, and the other red hud marjker while looking in the scanner wil say alluring item which will be a haldal core you wil either get one or 4 or 5 and the huge sharkfish pops out either one counts, if you already know al that stuf i digress good luck not all water will have them in

[remote thunder]

they'll be under "create quicksilver items", not "claim expedition rewards"

[peak creek]

ty found it

[slender sinew]

I can't do the fire in the hole milestone
When ever I crush a juicy grub and the brood mother appears her offsprings are scattered about which makes it difficult to use the plasma launcher to get three at the same time

[frozen laurel]

Go to an abandoned building and shoot an egg outside the building. Or any building with a white save point, they'll spawn from that area.

GG yall of the optional milestones now my robot friend can look like almost a titanfall robot :)

[wet quest]

If we start the expedition from the primary save, does the quicksilver earned transfer back as well? 👀 im shy to pull the trigger

[quaint urchin]

Yes

You can even do the Weekend Nexus mission for 1800 Quicksilver on both your primary save and the Expedition save. Just start the Expedition and as soon as you reach the Anomaly in it, you can use the Options Menu to 'Return to primary save', do the Nexus mission, and then use the Terminal to 'Resume Expedition' and do it a second time there.

It's an easy one this weekend too. You just have to feed some critters...

[wet quest]

Awesome thank you!

[finite scaffold]

Stupid question: If I complete all the milestones in the expedition and start transferring stuff over to my main save, does it still count the stuff I do- Expedition feats (distance traveled, systems visited, horrors killed, etc.), nanites rewarded, quicksilver, and such- are these amounts set in stone once you finish the last milestone or do they keep accumulating until you actually leave the expedition?

I've never actually checked, but I assume it does. It just throws me off when you collect the last reward and it shows like expedition stats

[fossil stream]

They keep accumulating as well, I once finished an expedition with like 5000 quicksilver cuz I did a bunch of missions in the nexus before I transferred to my save

[slender sinew]

Just finished the expedition. Stayed all night for it
Claimed all rewards and will move them via terminal later
Time to sleep

[slender sinew]

I didn't check what the optional milestone rewards were

"I just did My part" 🗿

[indigo falcon]

yes, a large patch of oxy/soidum does the trick too, as in the original run. it's a bit more luck based, as one has to stumble across such a patch, but nice when it happens.

[waxen mirage]

What would happen if I bought an upgrade for a Class S tool?

[bright bear]

My robot been doing those crunches, my lord

[sour anchor]

do we get a new expedition as soon as the old one ends ?

[iron tendon]

Anyone who has completed and exited the exp, can I ask if the liquidators arms, legs, body etc could be claimed for free from quicksilver vendor (under collect exp rewards)? If so, I won't bother installing and uninstalling them to carry back to primary save

[sour anchor]

were we supposed to keep the mechs ?

i don’t have mine on my main save

[atomic estuary]

If you claimed them from optional milestones then they should be available in quicksilver shop for free

Otherwise they can also be bought with quicksilver

[atomic estuary]

@sour anchor

[atomic estuary]

Yep, on the same day the liquidators ends we will be getting Aquarius

Unless you are asking if we will get a new expedition in February, that idk, Hello Games gaves us no info about that

[iron tendon]

Thanks! Was just asking as I read that there was some bug that prevented people claiming them from quicksilver vendor in the OG liquidators exp

[atomic estuary]

Yeah, that was during original liquidators. It should be fixed as of now

[sour anchor]

nice yeah i was just wondering thanks 🙏

[pulsar hare]

Cool, just discovered my first water planet

[unkempt kraken]

@pulsar hare

No gifs in this channel please

[iron tendon]

Lol what, I applied the multitool class upgrade to the A class staff and all that happened was one of the normal slots became a supercharged... that's a bit modest? Or quite common

[iron tendon]

Very weird thing. I applied 2 multitool class upgrades to the starting c class multitool and no new slots or conversion of slots to supercharged. I suspect this is because the "c class" multitool had 3 supercharged to begin with

[atomic estuary]

When you increase multitools class:

1. A new supercharged slot is revealed, that supercharged slots might in a slot you unlocked alredy or be hidden bc it's behind one of the not unlocked slots

2. Stats of the multitool get improved

3. Max of how many slots the multitool can have is increased. It doesnt give you new slots

[iron tendon]

I read a post saying S class has 4 max supercharged slots, A class has 3, and so on. Is this info still up to date?

[atomic estuary]

4 supercharged slots on S class isn't max, its the exact amount any S class ship or multitool will have and the same goes for other classes

A -> 3
B -> 2
C -> 1

Even if you can't see a SC slot its somewhere, hidden under a slot you haven't unlocked yet

Ok, so if I only see 3 SC slots in my s class multitool right now, it means the 4th and final SC slot must be hidden behind an unlocked slot

Thanks! It seems also not necessary to upgrade c class to A class if that c class somehow started with 3 SC revealed slots (if I don't intend on expanding more slots)

[atomic estuary]

Only C class that has more then one supercharged slots is one that has bugged out or was save edited

C class will always have 1 under normal circumstances

B 2

Etc

[iron tendon]

I didn't save edit, so I guess mine is bugged out

[atomic estuary]

There is a bug that will copy your supercharged slots from your multitool in your main save to the one you start with in the expedition

Happens to some players

You won't lose those slots when upgrading but I'm not certain if new will show up

IME: you don't get more supercharged slots but someone once got one more in this way

[iron tendon]

None of my existing multitools have 3 reveal sc prior to applying the class upgrade

Even the a class staff only had 2 revealed sc slots. So, it's a bit weird how I ended up with 3 on a c class starting multitool

[atomic estuary]

No i mean, if you hold an A class multitool in your main save and start the expedition then there is a chance that you will start the expedition with a C class multitool that has 3 supercharged slots alredy

[iron tendon]

Oh, I see!

Oh well, I might as well copy it back with me, as a souvenir

[slender sinew]

When I click finish expedition
Does the ship I got in the expedition get broken down to units and nanites?

Yeah

I think 🤔

[remote thunder]

i'd make sure by scrapping it myself

[remote thunder]

i'd make sure by scrapping it myself and selling the stuff

[white perch]

I have a question everyone : I may have been ignorant on this one, but is there a way that we could have seen the community expedition progress? I felt I was contributing but I woulda liked to known the full number of towards progress.

[frozen laurel]

You could only contribute 150 kills per day. The total percentage was shown in the mission log. There's also a command for it here. !tier

[wise meteor]

I thought it was possible to transfer some materials back from the my "expedition" exosuit back to the "cargo" slots at the expedition terminal. e.g I have some left over chromatic metal. But I cannot see how to do this. It doesnt really matter, but is it possible?

[remote thunder]

started from existing save, yes? interact with the expedition terminus in the anomaly - what do you see?

[wise meteor]

Do I have to end the expedition to do it, or is it too late then?

[remote thunder]

have you completed and claimed all milestones, inc optionals?

[wise meteor]

I have completed everything. Just ready to end it now stood by terminal

[remote thunder]

press end to release the lock on the exp terminus stash

[frozen laurel]

Claim the rewards. Go to the terminal. Add items. Exit the terminal. Return to primary save.

[remote thunder]

if you can't yet interact with the stash, you must end first - but not finish

end, add items and back out, save, pause/options/return to primary

get items, save, resume expedition

this would let you abuse the stash mechanic

allowing you to bring more than 8+24

if you don't want to abuse it, simply end, add items, finish expedition

remember that if you want to copy gear back into primary, you can do so, just make sure gear is equipped before returning to primary/finishing

[wise meteor]

I must have missed an option somwhere. It game me no choice but to go from end to finish. Im back in my main save now. Nothing left behind was essential . Thanks for the advice though

[remote thunder]

"from end to finish" - this is when you back out, i.e. right click

[wise meteor]

Its no problem. Ill just have to make a nee level 3 atlas pass I an Im good

[frozen laurel]

I'm not sure what you mean about finish. There's only the End Expedition button in the terminal.

[wise meteor]

The way it went for me was I had to pick end. Then it totted up my nannite bonuses and stuff. But after that, the only option I had was to finish. The window could not be dismissed with a right click

[remote thunder]

hmm

[frozen laurel]

Yes, once you click End, that's it. It ended.

[remote thunder]

that's not how i remember it

Everything else you said is accurate.

[wise meteor]

When I started this expedition, I was able to put some stuff in the "cargo" slots for the expedition. Any I did not use (i.e. remove) from that place during the expedition, were still there at the end and I can get them back. However stuff that I took out during the expedition or found during the expedition seemed to be stuck in my exosuit/starship slots and could not be put back into the expedition terminal at the end. Does that make sense?

[remote thunder]

you needed to take out all the items from the stash that you brought in from primary

to set the lock

that might be what i'd have done differently

[wise meteor]

so I have to empty the cargo slots at the terminal BEFORE I can put anything back at the end?

[remote thunder]

afaik, yes, otherwise it keeps the stash unlocked, primary->expedition way

[wise meteor]

OK I'll try that next time thankyou

[frozen laurel]

You can return to primary save and remove the items there first too.

[remote thunder]

will that work?

[frozen laurel]

Did for me.

[remote thunder]

iirc, primary save side stash is locked after expedition start

what's not locked is equipped gear

[frozen laurel]

Locked to add, can still remove the original items.

[remote thunder]

but this after ending, correct?

or before?

[remote thunder]

weird, i couldn't interact with the stash on primary save at all after exp is started and before ending ofc

[naive crypt]

You don't know who Lanipator is?

[remote thunder]

uhhh no?

sorry

guess i missed the joke

[naive crypt]

Nah nah you got the joke dw about it

Lanipator or Nick Landis is the founder of Team Four Star, known for making the parody series DBZ abridged

Its fine, the name was the joke, you don't need to know the whole backstory lmao

[remote thunder]

oh i see - DBZ huh - it's been a long time

[naive crypt]

Time to go shopping with the exosuit expansions and salvaged data I brought from the expedition

And now, to make the long awaited No Man's News studio

[iron tendon]

Is the minotaur unlocked as you progress through the main story in the primary save, or will you have to buy it from the back room in the anomaly anyway ?

[remote thunder]

minotaur geobay and some of its tech are unlocked for free via a trace of metal secondary quest (this quest is the only unlock source for the hardframe tech blueprint set), otherwise yes, anomaly/construction research station for geobay bp, and anomaly/exocraft research npc for bp unlocks

quicksilver shop/create quicksilver items will have the liquidator tech set (anyone can buy them, even if they didn't do exp14)

(unlocked for free via exp14's optional milestones, 1 in each phase)

[iron tendon]

I thought those were only the technology but not the minotaur summoning bay itself

[remote thunder]

yeah, a trace of metal also does the geobay

[iron tendon]

Thanks, I'll look it up!

<:info:850810445577453658> Side Quest: A Trace of Metal

First, need to be overseer of a Planetary Settlement. Check your Log tab for either of these missions:

• A Planet In Distress (10 ship warps to trigger): Select the mission, exit the Log tab, wait for a few seconds. Check the mission hint lower right when it cycles through. Objective in another system? Before opening the galaxy map, let's first double check something. Pause, Log tab: is there a Restart using nearby structures button lower right? If there is, press it, exit Log tab, wait for a few seconds and the game will recalculate a location for the quest to progress. Follow the mission's lead, which will eventually be replaced by the next bullet point;
• The Settlers: Select the mission, exit Log tab, wait for a few seconds. Check the mission hint lower right when it cycles through. If you are summoned for decisions, teleport to your settlement. Assist the settlement in any decisions they may need help with, then when free to explore, ship warp out of this system. Wait for a distress transmission from your settlers, this is the beginning of A Trace of Metal.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

if on switch, it triggers after 25 warps iirc

[toxic mortar]

Hmmm. I'm gonna stay in the Exp until almost the last minute. While waiting for optionals I built a secondary fleet and have a settlement....

I'm getting so many extra resources...

[zealous surge]

When do in unlock the anomaly?

i warped once but still cant summon

[proud patio]

You need to play the main story

And you will unlock it very early

[zealous surge]

I asked when

After i complete all the phase 1 milestones?

Cuz there is no reward listed that i can summon

[proud patio]

I said

Early

[zealous surge]

Yeah that can mean 10 hrs in of after 10 minutes

[proud patio]

Half an hour max

[zealous surge]

Yeah you say that but i dont think its linked to time spend

like i said, i dont see it listed on the rewards

[remote thunder]

have you completed and claimed phase 1 milestone 3 (warp to a new system milestone)

[remote thunder]

landed in the station of another system too?

[zealous surge]

yeah

[remote thunder]

reached dropzone 1 yet?

[zealous surge]

im gonna reload now ig mb the server is too busy or something

[remote thunder]

nah

[zealous surge]

nah cuz thats 2 systems away

that doesnt have to do with anything

[remote thunder]

i don't remember exactly how it unlocked in exp14, but pretty much in all expeditions it has to do with warping out of the starter system/claiming related milestone to that

[zealous surge]

Yeah thats why im confused

but imma reload cuz that worked previously

[remote thunder]

yeah try that first

[zealous surge]

welp waddya know it worked

[remote thunder]

save+reload did? fixes a lot 😄

weird why some players need to reload/restart to get it, and some don't

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.
  

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[lunar marlin]

ah ty ty

[remote thunder]

try checking your discoveries list, cross checked against list of systems in <#nms-expedition message>, for a planet with dissonance detected when you cursor over it - iirc starter system has a dissonant planet

[lunar marlin]

hah found one just now

oh damn lol

thank you

[remote thunder]

if you do find one in the dropzone starter systems, just check a station teleporter to see if you can easily teleport back

ah nice going

[naive crypt]

Warp, claim milestone, and you can summon anomaly

[naive crypt]

There is a diss system quite nearby to the 5th point

[remote thunder]

yeah, just wasn't working for them at first

[feral scaffold]

If I claim a ship during the expedition and then scrap it at the end of the expedition for parts, it'll still be thre in my main save right?

[bitter anchor]

Yes

[feral scaffold]

Ok cool

[toxic mortar]

One of the milestones gives a Carrier AI Fragment. Use it and follow the signal.

[lunar marlin]

already found some thanks!

[naive crypt]

I find that to be a waste tbh

Diss systems are so easy to find

[remote thunder]

definitely a good alt if one isn't having an easy time finding a dissonant system

[toxic mortar]

So are carrier fragments.

[zealous surge]

how do i complete this tho

what is liquidation goal 1

Any of the goals in the expeditions, or missions in the game, if you select them and go back to the game it will tell you how to complete it in the Hints section in the lower right of your screen.

Yo I have basically memorized the exp list items. And I swear that's newly added... (Well just ignore the TBI I have)

[remote thunder]

grub cocoon was originally also unlocked account wide; just the way the devs found to be able to let players get egg rewards back to primary saves

[finite scaffold]

Kinda wish I could have farmed more QS this exped

[sour anchor]

damn wtf i only got like 10mil units and 7k nanites

[slender sinew]

What the heck

[frozen laurel]

What's your technique for QS and nanites? Missions and suspicious packets?

[finite scaffold]

@frozen laurel QS mostly came from nexus this exped. Nanites came from just about every source. I wasnt just focusing on one thing, although I did take the time to find an S class pirate dreadnought and put full s class mods onto it, so that farming alone grabbed me a ton of units/nanites. I did lots and lots of quests, base building, scanning flora/fauna, traveling, and selling sus packages was def part of it though. I tried to farm as much of the expedition feats as I could before I burned myself out

I had full rep for all guilds, all races available, and outlaw stations also

[frozen laurel]

Many many hours

[finite scaffold]

I had the week of Christmas off and decided to have fun playing NMS

[slender sinew]

Hey I'm new
And I'm looking for an A class freighter(still have my free option as I haven't picked any)

Any tips?

[finite scaffold]

If you're not picky about types I would suggest the pirate dreadnoughts from outlaw stations, you can get them to spawn fairly easily. And the chance of an A class pirate dreadnought and S class have the same probability, 5% or 1/20

The trick is to take out the shields as quick as possible. I do the warp drive after the shields but you don't have to do it in that order

[young warren]

as a newer player what most helpful to bring back resource/tech wise?

[slender sinew]

If I'm not picky?
Is there a downside to the dreadnoughts?

[finite scaffold]

They only have 1 skin, but they are always free if you make pirate surrender

[slender sinew]

Oh got it

Seems I'll have to try for a capital one

[finite scaffold]

In case people are wondering if it was a legit expedition

[slender sinew]

Mehn that's a lot of units and nanites

I'm broke

One ship purchase can take all My units

[finite scaffold]

Units get really easy once you learn how to consistently find and sell sentinel interceptors

Freighters with their frigate expeditions bring in a lot of units also

There was an expedition feat for obtaining ships, so a lot of those units was me spamming emergency charts/echo locators/ai carrier fragments

[slender sinew]

Got it
Will keep that in mind

[finite scaffold]

I probably sold a good 30+ ships to space stations

Or rather, salvaged

[slender sinew]

How long have You been playing

And what kind of freighter do You have

[finite scaffold]

I first bought the game a couple years ago and at first played it quite a bit, but I never really got into it like I have until the last 6-7 months

The game is just so relaxed and chill I listen to audiobooks and just explore the galaxies

[finite scaffold]

I have an S class pirate freighter crewed by Geks. I'm not into hunting freighters that much, although I really want to find a 2x2 supercharged Gek crewed pirate dreadnought

I've found coords for a Korvax and a Vykeen 2x2 dreadnought but for some reason I can't find a Gek one in the coord exchange

[slender sinew]

Are You specific about the race who crews it?

[slender sinew]

That's nice

[finite scaffold]

Yea, for whatever reason I really like the Gek race in this game. I'm definitely partial to it

[slender sinew]

Got it

[finite scaffold]

Theres no in game difference in the crew, just preference

[misty kite]

i only got 45k nanaites

you farmed a whole lot damn

[finite scaffold]

I spent a decent amount of time in outlaw stations buying suspicious packets from the black market vendor

I was already there searching for pirate dreadnought fights, only takes a minute or two to hop into the station, buy the packages and warp to a new system

Also a good idea to grab the smuggled goods at the same time so you make up the unit loss from packets bought

[ebon belfry]

I'm having a hard time finding any dissonant systems for the "purple mist" Mission.. Is there a way to find them faster?

[finite scaffold]

You should be able to see it in the galaxy map. Where some planets say "water" on them you'll see "dissonant".

[ebon belfry]

I travelled through multiple black holes and looked around the galaxy area, but I haven't seen "dissonance detected" Yet

[eternal cedar]

stuff to help repair and refuel if needed

[ebon belfry]

I think I found it, thank you

Was about to forward a screenshot of a dissonant planet in the galaxy map but I'm glad you found it

[full oyster]

How many biological horrors does it take to complete optional in phase 5 its not showing a count does anyone remember.

[slender sinew]

Found one

I can change the colour right?

[finite scaffold]

Yeah, you have to go to the capital ship research thingy in the bridge

Each color costs like 5k nanites though

Same place you spend your salvage frigate modules for tech upgrades, different tab

[slender sinew]

Got it. Thanksss

Should be able to purchase it back in main save the same way can take on to expedition

[remote thunder]

yeah, iirc, there's 2 milestones that reward mt class upgrades

[full oyster]

I max out a ship inventory so hopefully I can get it back

[remote thunder]

yeah, it's also unlocked account wide, so it'll be free to claim once per save, in any save unde rthe same account

do you know which steps/phases those are? i most likely had my multi-tool by that point. did i need to expand technology slots to get it? my multi-tool isn't maxed out yet on slots. @remote thunder

[remote thunder]

actually, sorry there's 3; phase 1 milestone 6, phase 2 milestone 2 and phase 4 milestone 1. no, class upgrade is different than inventory upgrades

[river star]

understood. thank you for checking. i wasn't sure if it was triggered from opening slots in the multi-tools. i opened a few slots in my previous multi-tool and it upgraded to s tier. i wasn't sure if it was related. ha. thank you for the confirming this information.

[remote thunder]

no problem, thank you for taking the time to submit a ticket, even the devs don't reply, we're definitely doing our part by reporting

[river star]

that's a good point. they can't help me upgrade my multi-tool; it will just be informational for bugfixing, right? i assumed they won't be able to help with my multi-tool that is. it's okay if they can't

[remote thunder]

yeah, definitely, hopefully they can fix it for everyone. that said - don't know what difficulty you're on in the primary save, but there's options/difficulty settings/purchases=free

[river star]

i don't think that's available to me; i'm playing a permadeath avatar. it's fine though. i'll just spend the resources for it. it's not too bad to farm back those nanites. thanks again @remote thunder

What’s the best way to finish dat of the land? I’m having such trouble with it. I gathered 1000 o2 and it didn’t accept it

[misty plinth]

In my case I found metal fingers and kept the mining beam going the whole time and got the milestone

So if you find anything like that - organic rock or whatever and keep the mining tool active it should complete for you

I bet some of the things in caves that give large carbon payout would work well.

[solid sorrel]

I brought an atlantid multitool to expedition and I think mission bugged out cause of the runic lens not overheating

I just got it from randomly mining stuff

[inland loom]

Alright, thanks guys. I’m dreading g doing the underwater monster one

[misty plinth]

Any reason as to why?

[inland loom]

I weirdly panic underwater, I know it’s a game but the suffocating part I really don’t like

I’m trying to get the upgrades now so I won’t

Plus is just something I haven’t tried yet so fear of the unknown I guess

[misty plinth]

@inland loom I don't know if you are aware of this but - you can walk your minotaur into the water and use it as a shelter if you need to

[inland loom]

Well….i didn’t make one of them yet either

[solid sorrel]

you get it as a reward from completing one of the challenges

[inland loom]

I’m very new at this and saw the expedition fair to say I was NOT prepared.

I think I do have all of it but don’t know how to put it together

[misty plinth]

Plenty of people here willing to help with guidance if you need it

You don't need an upgraded minotaur to use it - you construct a geobay and summon the basic version of it and even in that state it can be useful

[solid sorrel]

I wonder if you can just teleport to the systems expeditions take place in and help ppl doing the event

[misty plinth]

Just remember if you build a geobay to remove it and get your parts back before moving on

[misty plinth]

So some things need to be done solo while out of multiplayer and other things you can assist with

Like say someone needed materials - you can send them what they need no problem

[solid sorrel]

bringing a maxed out freighter to expedition system and letting my homies skip hyperdrive related stuff mmmm

[misty plinth]

It would be nice to bring a maxxed freighter into an expedition but sadly we can't. What you could do tho is ... team up take them to the systems they will need to get to (to speed up the process) then drop out of group and let them do their thing until they need you again.

[solid sorrel]

wait but if we cant bring freighters to expeditions then how do you take them to other systems?

you mean via space anomaly?

[misty plinth]

Are you talking capital ship freighters or do you mean a starship hauler?

[solid sorrel]

capital ship freighters

[misty plinth]

If you come into the expedition from another (primary) save you can COPY over a starship and a multitool and drop some materials into the expedition box to bring over

Freighters - not an option

You have to find one in the expedition to claim and use

Now if you start an expedition from a FRESH save and you find a freighter - when that save converts at the end you will keep everything you have.

[solid sorrel]

no Im talking about getting coords of the system from expedition save, going back to primary, using a portal to go to that system then casually summon your freighter

[inland loom]

Thank you, I’ll give it a try!

[misty plinth]

OK - so you go back to your primary save you are essentially switching between alternate realities - if you get the co-ords and come to where an expedition took place - you can't interact with anyone in those syatems still in the expedition

Only after they exit and go back to - universe prime - lets call it

[solid sorrel]

😔

[inland loom]

What’s the best tool/weapon for the Minotaur?

[solid sorrel]

the classic cannon

[misty plinth]

You will get the cannon as a milestone reward at some point

[solid sorrel]

the flame thrower really needs a buff

[misty plinth]

It needs something - I did not find it useful

[solid sorrel]

is meant to be a close up weapon yet has less damage than cannon for some reason

its a lose-lose

[misty plinth]

Why doesn't it act more like the corrupt sentinel plasma throwers but with a slightly longer range

I just turned my minotaur into a weapon platform and used it that way (like a tower defense turret)

[solid sorrel]

I just dived into the fight with sentinels with no upgrades what so ever during the expedition

the cannon is enough lol

[inland loom]

I have to make a base to get the Minotaur stuff going?

[solid sorrel]

nope, you just place down the minotaur

[inland loom]

Ok!

[low jackal]

it is a portable building part, doesn't require a base

[orchid dock]

Whats current expedition?

[misty plinth]

Liquidators Redux

[orchid dock]

Damn

My liquidator minotaur is still glitchy asf

Whole torso doesn't even exist anymore

[fringe gale]

... Wow. I took advantage of the 'free' rank-up to kick my Atlas Sceptre in the seat, and I gotta admit, I like the results.

It's now S-ranked with 40 slots and has a rather intriguing arrangement of supercharged slots.

[slender sphinx]

where to find juicy grub

i need several enemies to spawn

[fringe gale]

In general they can be scanned for IIRC.

Now the details of how you have to fiddle with your scanner settings ... that might be messy.

[slender sphinx]

or can u suggest where to find several enemies

i need to finish this milestone fire in the hole

[fringe gale]

Oh my... yeah, that's an XY problem if I ever saw one. Crushing a juicy grub to start an encounter is suboptimal. (I found that out the hard way.)

[misty plinth]

@slender sphinx I would set up outside an abandoned structure with whispering eggs and go nuke happy on them.

[fringe gale]

If you can... it's probably easier to trigger a horror swarm, because you need a swarm to maximize the opportunity to AOE-smack a bunch of things.

If you're trying to do it using a brood mother, you might be waiting a while until enough mooks are spawned that you can catch a bunch of them in a single grenade.

I did it by way of brood mother, and had to wait out at least 5 if not 6 of the brood mother's spawn cycles just to get enough mobs on the field that I had a prayer of hitting a bunch of them with one boom.

[slender sphinx]

this is annoying

im having diffucult time to damage 3 enemies at once

[fringe gale]

Though... I certainly can't vouch for the cooperation of biological horrors, because they time out.

It really depends on what you're having the most trouble with.

Letting a brood mother go nuts puts an ever-escalating number of mobs on the field, and that might make it easier to hit 3+ targets in a grenade AOE.

[slender sphinx]

yeah

but its hard to find eggs

[fringe gale]

But if you're using that strategy ... evade and don't kill the spawn until you're ready to fulfill the condition by tossing one carefully planned kaboom into a crowd.

[fringe gale]

Eggs?

Biological horrors are linked to eggs. Vile brood are linked to juicy grubs.

I have to admit, I'm not the least bit thrilled by the detection distance limitations.

(Biological horrors are also linked to titan worm nests, but that doesn't apply to Liquidators.)

[frozen laurel]

Abandoned buildings

[fringe gale]

I'll just say this: getting the spawning horrors to clump up enough to damage several with a single kaboom is kinda like herding cats.

[slender sphinx]

damn, i got lucky.

its done

Thanks tho

[fringe gale]

Their behavior drives splitting up: ~1/3 confronts the player directly to soak up attention, and the other 2/3 circle around to flank.

[slender sphinx]

how to trigger those corrupt sentinels?

[fringe gale]

Visit a dissonant planet. All the sentinels are corrupt.

They're slightly tougher to fight, because AFAIK all dissonant sentinels can repair each other... which is annoying AF if you don't have over-the-top damage output.

Although there was a change at some point ... if you can utterly defeat a level 5 wave of sentinels (corrupted or not) something special happens.

[slender sphinx]

currently here now

thanks 😄

[fringe gale]

In the case of uncorrupted sentinels, if you wreck their T5 attack wave, they throw in the towel and let you do what you want, which if nothing else is a load off anxiety.

As for corrupted ones... you can't really get them off your case, but wrecking a T5 attack wave gives you intel on obtaining an interceptor-class ship.

[slender sphinx]

they killed me lol

but the milestone is done

[fringe gale]

Well... progress is progress, right?

[slender sphinx]

yep

glad the grave is nearby

[fringe gale]

I'm more cautious than most as a committed permadeath player.

[slender sphinx]

geez

imagine the anxiety playing at that difficulty

lol

my problem right now is, i have too many modules in my inventory

Im not really familiar what to keep or what to sell

[fringe gale]

Atlhough if I split a permadeath save to enter an expedition, that expedition is dropped to Normal difficulty.

[slender sphinx]

btw where to sell the modules so i can get nanites

[fringe gale]

Any space station technology merchant, really.

Although if you've opened a mystery module and don't like it, you've burned yourself... an upgrade worth 480 nanites unopened is only worth 16 nanites if opened.

[slender sphinx]

can u name some on what to keep or what to sell?

[fringe gale]

Honestly, not really... although if you obtain a boatload of ?-class upgrades from tussling with uncorrupted sentinels, you almost certainly have more than you can properly use. The deeper question then becomes, do you gamble on unpacking all of them to maybe get 1% better one one stat, or do you sell them off unopened to get actually useful quantities of nanites?

On a tangentially related note, any kind of class-up that isn't thrown at you as an expedition objective reward is probably going to cost a stupid volume of nanites.

As in, anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 for a simple letter-rank increase.

I must wonder though ... am I communicating clearly? I've large amounts of items that should be useful, except updates have ruined them.

[slender sphinx]

Im a noob player here actually, im not yet familiar on whats good or not.

[fringe gale]

Advanced ion fzzkzt ... simplifies and avoids the higher costs imposed by greater-than-normal equipment charging costs ... except the kzztft things do nothing, now, except as a collector's item, a piece of obsolete technology.

[slender sphinx]

idk on what to transfer after I finish this expedition

[fringe gale]

If you played the prior redux expedition, a sample of advanced kzztkt were handed out as a reward... but I know of no way to use them.

I'm not even entirely sure how the whole general-to-expedition-save-and-back-again thing works, either.

[misty plinth]

When you are ready to start moving things over - put your items into the expedition terminal - and switch to your main save using the menu option - return to primary save - alllows for returning to the expedition to make several trips

[fringe gale]

Though, for those with deeper comprehension than I ... I've boosted the living daylights out of Alexand-ω (which AFAIK is the truename of the 'Atlas Sceptre'), and ended up with a supercharged slot layout I find nigh unimpeachable.

If I devote all those slots to the damage of a single weapon, my estimated damage potential exceeds 75000.

[slender sphinx]

where to find sentinel walkers

do i need lvl 5 alert?

what do they look like

im at alert 5 now

[fringe gale]

They'll come to you if you reach level 5 alert ... and there's a further couple of benefits, should you prove yourself by exterminating the entire lvl 5 response.

1. If you can curbstomp a lvl 5 response, they very literally give up and stop spawning sentinels to try to control you.
2. Defeating every last 'bot in a lvl 5 wave will cause them to reveal to you the location of one of the sentinel control sites in the system; you can obtain lots of loot there as well as return there to have an easier means of deactivanting sentinel defense.

As for corrupted sentinels... defeating their entire level 5 response causes them to back off to an extent, and as a secondary benefit, they'll give you coordinates for an interceptor-class abandoned ship.

[misty plinth]

@slender sphinx #nms-expedition message

[fringe gale]

Possibly the key point of confusion there is that uncorrupted sentinels have two bipedal walker constructs. The T4 construct is comparable in scale to the Minotaur exocraft, and the T5... with apologies to Presea Combatir... "Big."

[slender sphinx]

will try to trigger another lvl 5

they didnt appear

[fringe gale]

If you win a lvl 5 battle... the five sentinel status icons turn blue, indicating they don't want to mess with you further.

[low jackal]

make sure you are not on a corrupted planet with purple sentinel

[fringe gale]

Yup, that's a lvl 5 uncorrupted Sentinel mech.

They're a little more complicated than most because there's a mechanic around blowing their armor plating off do expose weak points.

[slender sphinx]

ok will try again sir

thanks

[fringe gale]

For what it's worth, they appear alongside the level 3 "Quad" doggo-shaped bots which do their best to constantly hassle you to make it hard to line up a shot.

To be honest, if I didn't have a stupidly potent multi-tool capable of over 75000 damage potential, I'd probably have had more trouble.

Though for most of those fights the configured potential was between 30000 and 40000.

[slender sphinx]

ehhh

only 1 sentinel walker on alert lvl 5

how to retrigger sentinels again on the same planet

they are on "blue colored icon" now

[low jackal]

just save and reload the game

or teleport out of system and come back

[slender sphinx]

aight thanks

[fringe gale]

that's sort of what I meant about them 'throwing in the towel' ... if you can curb stomp their strongest response, they kinda don't want to bother throwing more hardware at you 🤣

[ashen shore]

Disturbed a "juicy grub", regretted it 💯. Can take this as a tip. Maybe

[fringe gale]

Collecting them is fine. Doing certain things with them once collected? ... Perhaps risky.

[ashen shore]

Lol, I didn't even collect it because the aliens spawned and started literally spitting at me 😆 went full panic mode

[fringe gale]

Wait, did you blow it away instead of collecting it?

[slender sphinx]

xd

[fringe gale]

Or were you just, rather unfortunately, in the radius of a different swarm that got set off? 😏

[ashen shore]

I'm not sure what happened. Yeah I shot at the grub

[fringe gale]

A pure pick-up (with 🇪 on ) won't trigger an attack.

[ashen shore]

But jokes aside, I came here to ask also about convenient ways to craft launch fuel as every planet I run on causes it to run out, making doing the expedition last minute even more last minute 😅

[fringe gale]

Two practical options. Go nuts on di-hydrogen, make jelly, can it into launch fuel; or vacuum up uranium doposits on any radioactive planets you find. (Use the smallest possible drill size for that.)

[ashen shore]

Ok, thanks

[ashen shore]

Oh 🤦‍♀️

[fringe gale]

No worries. Part of what makes the game so darned complicated is the variety of ways to get where you're going.

brb... seeking noms

[normal helm]

Please more monstrosity missions!

[misty plinth]

If you see metal fingers check them for uranium - worth collecting as needed to keep your launch thrusters going

[ashen shore]

So how do I get walkers to spawn?

Ah, thank you

Ok I destroyed one walker but it somehow did not count towards the goal 😢

What am I missing here?

[normal helm]

Thank you!

[ashen shore]

?

Ohh I understand now, I didn't have a hazmat gauntlet to collect the grub

[fringe gale]

Monstrosities used to scare the living daylights out of me. (Probable at least in part because permadeath ...)

I don't know if they got nerfed or I just put together a zappy stick of one-shotting, but they're less scary now.

My tinkered Atlas Sceptre has two pair of adjacent hot slots, and the pairs are diagonally adjacent, so it's kinda something else.

[ashen shore]

Uh

Not sure whether I can make it, only 1/5 of the way through. Possible to complete before the deadline?

[naive crypt]

I OHKO'd them with a Scatter shot on a C class rifle so I think they are just squishy

[naive crypt]

3 milestones of every phase is a freebie, you have to just worry about the remaining ones, and I saw none that is particularly troublesome

Plus you have today, tomorrow and day after tomorrow

The only time consuming ones are the sentinel killing onces

Especially walkers since you have to get to PWL5 twice

[normal helm]

I accidentally shot all yhe eggs again, spamming my scans

[dark spindle]

Anyone has a planet with a predator and can someone tell me how to do fat of the land?

[toxic mortar]

Easiest way to do FotL is look for a bunch of sodium or oxygen flowers in one big patch and harvest them all really quickly.

[toxic mortar]

You don't need it.

[gilded vapor]

do you just beam the lures ?

[dark spindle]

ahhhh spoiler alert

I pick them up by hand.

When will this expedition end?

In 2 days, oh no

Can’t wait for it to end. Sounds like a boring expedition and it never ends

No ship reward either

time to lock back in on this

[amber elbow]

bruh why were there no whispering eggs at the beginning for me? -.-

[unkempt roost]

how do i get a vile grub to crush for liquidator

[cedar otter]

Another way to do FotL is to get all of the S class mining laser upgrades you can on your multitool, and mine the larger items out there that give multiple resourses.

[ruby chasm]

use the area scan to find one and then you pick it up then go to inventory

[cedar otter]

use the scanner, look for a red icon that looks like a curled up worm. Go to it, and harvest it by pressing E(default) if you're on PC, not sure what on the others

[unkempt roost]

ty

[young warren]

Quick question about printing starships from an expedition once you return to normal save.
My current ship says it's a Class S when in cockpit but when it asks me if I want to overwrite it with the A class I picked up in the last expedition it says my current ship is Class C, why?
Also why does it want to overwrite instead of add to my collection?
Do I need to pick up some junk ship if I do not want my current one overwritten?

[bitter anchor]

1 idk, could you share a screenshot
2 it wants to overwrite because you don't have room in your fleet for another ship (probably)
3 just click add ship instead of exchange ship. If that's not an option, you need to get rid of a ship to copy over the new one

[young warren]

Oh, I somehow have 12 ships. shoot.
pic of screen for printing ship from expedition
then pic of me in the Shard ship cockpit showing S

Well I will get to cleaning up my collection.

[bitter anchor]

Ok yeah you have to scrap one

That's a sweet sentinel ship

[young warren]

Which one? I like the new one's look a bit more than the Shard.
Still figuring out what superchage layouts are desirable. the Shard they are all scattered and the Crimson one has 3 in a l in the upper right and the last one is in a unpurchased slot somewhere.

[ruby chasm]

i can't find a predator with that level 😭

[young warren]

Try checking space station teleporter. That's how I found one.

[ruby chasm]

i just found one on a planet at the drop point 1 system

[ashen shore]

Thank you

[unkempt roost]

anyone got a base on a dissonant planet to complete the corrupted sentinel kill? i cant seem to find a planet. at drop site 4 atm

[gaunt path]

I’m probably super late but I went to a heavily forested area then mined the trees as much as I could without breaking them- like a bunch of them then once they were all prepared I burned em in one go. Took a couple tries but it worked👍

[dark spindle]

yes one B upgrade was enough to get it ez

[quaint urchin]

Wow, that is something I never thought of doing... Mining until they were almost done was genius!

I was fortunate enough to notice some Mutant Plants on the starter planet, which turn into Radon. Busting like 2 or 3 of those was enough.

[ruby chasm]

i used the minotaur mining laser to do the FOTL

[gaunt path]

Yeah I sold the mining upgrade and the minotaur upgrades so don’t give me too much praise 🫠

My first instinct was to find some big freakin crystals and do those since they give a lot of stuffs but that… obviously was no longer an option

To top it off I didn’t have access to the anomaly till I completed the whole dang event

[inland loom]

How do I find alluring specimens in the water? Is that something g that shows up on planetary scans?

[gaunt path]

No just find a planet with oceans u can see them from space

Go into da wota and look around for red icons when scanning

When u find an alluring specimen start taking the glowing bulbs off- eventually a big fishy will appear and try to chomp ya

[inland loom]

Ok, maybe I just haven’t been lucky yet

Thank you!

[gaunt path]

Oh- also make sure to have predatory mode on

[frozen laurel]

And screams at you.

[inland loom]

Wait what’s this now?

[gaunt path]

I turned it off cause I didn’t feeling like having 300 different things tryna eat me while doing the quests

[inland loom]

Predatory mode??

[gaunt path]

Ye

If u go to settings then difficulty

U can edit how the game will be

[frozen laurel]

I didn't think those were options during expeditions

Everyone is on the same difficulty

[gaunt path]

Theres a spot that talks about the wildlife and I Think the options are something like “none, defensive, predatory”

Have it set to predatory✨

[gaunt path]

By default yes but some are still adjustable

🫠 I would know- I abuse them religiously

Makes it go by faster when u can 1 or 4 hit most things

[inland loom]

So like I dumb, hit escape and…

It didn’t work for the cursed expedition. I hated that one with everything I am 🫠

[inland loom]

Ugh, I’m not looking forward to the next one

[gaunt path]

What is it?

[inland loom]

Do I get all the slots/gear in my main game as well?

Some sort of aquatic based one

[gaunt path]

No

[inland loom]

Awwww

[gaunt path]

If it offers to expand ur inventory or anything like that just hit the back button- it puts the expansions into ur inventory and u can send Those to ur main save

U can copy ur ship and weapon to ur main once u complete the expedition though

The ship wont keep the inventory

I did that cause I thought the ship for this expedition was cute 🫠

Its looks bubbly somehow

[inland loom]

Crap! I wish I knew that. How do I send them to my main?

[gaunt path]

When u finish everything and have to go to the anomaly u can put certain items into like a box… that box is accessible from ur main save

Wait

Said that wrong

[inland loom]

Oohh I did get my weapon up to s class at least

[gaunt path]

Dont read yet

[inland loom]

Ok

[gaunt path]

Mk fixed

[inland loom]

Where do I get the box?

And this is on the anomaly?

[gaunt path]

And unfortunately quite literally ANYTHING outside of this box gets poofed

U also can’t put eggs into the box

[gaunt path]

Its not an item its quite literally just an inventory space outside ur inventory space

Its the same thing u see when u enter the expedition

That table thingy

In the anomaly

Behind the nexus

[gaunt path]

man im great at words.. i should write a book-

[inland loom]

So it’s just something random box?

If you take a screenshot of this magical device you’ll be my hero!

[quaint urchin]

The terminal behind the Nexus in the Anomaly where you started the Expedition, if you started from an existing save.

As long as you started from an Existing save via the terminal in the Anomaly, you can transfer items back to your primary save. The terminal unlocks for this once you complete and claim all milestones. You are not limited to doing a transfer only once. You can do it as many times as needed as long as you do not click on "End Expedition' in the terminal.

In order to do so load Terminal> create Restore point> Options Menu 'Return to primary save'> Unload terminal, copy Ship/Multi-tool> create Restore point> Visit Terminal 'Resume Expedition'> Load Terminal> Change Active Ship/Multi-tool> create Restore point> 'Return to primary save' (Repeat as needed).

The ship and multitool cost Nanites to copy. My S-Class ship costs 2800 and the S-class Multitool costs around 2200 to 2400 (I think).

[inland loom]

Yay finished the lure the water monster one, now about the grenade, I don’t see that in the technology available for the tool

[remote thunder]

grenade?

plasma launcher, paralysis mortar..?

[inland loom]

Oh, ok! Thanks

[remote thunder]

not sure what you're trying to do: if you fill me in, i could probably 🙂

[inland loom]

The bit 3 things with a grenade quest, fire in the hole?

[remote thunder]

ah gotcha

also, not just hit, kill

well, there's several ways to do it

plasma launcher is one of them for example

phase 2 milestone 4 gives you prebuilt plasma launcher + 1 s-class plasma launcher module

if you get another 2 s-class plasma module from a station, this will be even easier

paralysis mortar can help because it can stun enemies where they stand

they remain stunned for about 5s

i sat on top of a building, shot a whispering egg, fire paralysis mortar, then plasma launcher, boom done

[inland loom]

Unfortunately I got rid of them

[remote thunder]

anomaly MT research npc - could also try to do with neutron cannon

[inland loom]

Ok, this will be next after I get the corrupted sentinels and fat

Thanks

[remote thunder]

fat of the land is super easy with optical drill

look at the hint, not the drop

[toxic mortar]

Or with flowers

[remote thunder]

😄

true

[toxic mortar]

It was the first one I completed. Spawned by a big patch of oxy.

[remote thunder]

so satisfying

[toxic mortar]

Yeah. I can never resist plundering a patch. I have so much of both, but I wade right in.

[inland loom]

I did that with the oxy but hand “picked” them, didn’t know I could use the mining beam

[ruby chasm]

finished this in four hours

calm little expedition

[ashen shore]

Oh wow

Well done that's quick!

I only just finished the first stage last night. Still a bit stressed about whether I can do it with very limited time to play every day

Do you think asking for co-op help will speed it up? I've only got like 1-2 hours today to play

[ruby chasm]

you should be able to. i had to lock in on it and try not to wander around

[ruby chasm]

maybe. i know finding other bases carried me

[ashen shore]

Yeah but I got only 1-2 hours per day average to play...😢 there a lot of irl things to do also. That's why I always feel uncomfortable when a game has a timer for something 😬

I couldn't find other bases

[ruby chasm]

go to a space station and look at teleporter

[ruby chasm]

ahh. i'm off school rn so i had to get it done today or i wouldn't be able to finish bc i go back tmr

so the sense of urgency motivated me

[ashen shore]

Last night I spent about 2 hours on it

So 2 hours = 1 stage...and there are 5 😞

Anyways. Sorry, just a bit stressed

[ruby chasm]

no you're good

what seems to take the longest on it?

[ashen shore]

Hmm. I went as fast as I could last night through the steps and did ignore everything else, but somehow it sucked up my 2 hours 🫤

[ruby chasm]

i think i got the first phase done in like 15 or 20 mins 😭

[ashen shore]

Its a combination of hunting desperately for constantly running out launch fuel, warp fuel and tons of lagging

But mostly the first two. Every time I take off I watch launch fuel just drop to 50% 🫥

[ashen shore]

No idea how to do it that fast

Oh and lots of running around. Tons of just jogging here and there to the points of interest it directs to

[ruby chasm]

launch fuel i just bought some uranium at a station and a few things of the actual fuel as back up

[ashen shore]

Oh...I saw it, didn't have many credits for it

[ruby chasm]

you should also use nanites to get upgrades for it

[ruby chasm]

idk how but i ended up finding an item worth 1 mil credits and so i sold it and it funded me the whole expedition

[ashen shore]

Whaaaat

[ruby chasm]

i think it's a milestone reward

[ashen shore]

Yeah I definitely haven't gotten that

[ruby chasm]

try and find some copper on planets, mine a lot of it and sell it

any resource should work, just so you can buy the uranium. or find the resources to make a ton of fuel

[hollow fern]

[ruby chasm]

then if you have a lot of nanites go to a station and buy some launch upgrades so you're not draining it

try and get a couple hyperdrive ones too if you'd like

[remote thunder]

almost for all planets, i'd suggest looking for buried cache/buried mineral formation/buried tech module for early cash

[ruby chasm]

yeah that's smart

[remote thunder]

buried cache is kinda great, because it can also drop x-class modules

[ashen shore]

Oh...

I didn't know

🫠

[ruby chasm]

on main saves if my nipnip farm isn't producing enough credits to support my impulse buying, i salvage sentinel ships bc the one that spawns near my base goes for like 20 mil

[vernal nova]

Ah yes, the weed farm
