nms-expedition

[remote thunder]

this is just cosmetic, part of skybox background

@finite grove ^

there are only yellow, or red, or green, or blue star systems -- and the colors of the skybox don't necessarily match the former

iow, there are no actual binary or trinary star systems (for example, and hypothetically, a yellow+red star system)

[half ermine]

can you get new fish from fish traps

[remote thunder]

afaik yes -- if you meant fish that you never used rod to catch

[half ermine]

ye

can you get legendaries

[remote thunder]

yep

[half ermine]

oh wow

[finite grove]

thank you so much for clarifying

[remote thunder]

they look beautiful no doubt 🤩 🔭

[tall vector]

Guys, I'm in the mission when you're supposed to build an underwater base. I just can't build the watertight door! I've tried every possible position and the game won't let me!

[half ermine]

replace the main bit

like put it somewhere different

[tall vector]

yeah it's driving me crazy

thanks, going to try this

[wide totem]

What are the remixed rewards for this expedition?

[remote thunder]

exp15 redux has exactly the same rewards as original exp15; so far, devs only remixed rewards for expeditions that they've rerun twice (exp3 in 2023, exp2 in 2024)

[wide totem]

That’s lame 😦

How much quicksilver is in this one?

[remote thunder]

from milestones alone not much, but ofc there's always the nexus missions

[open dagger]

Lame? I am actually surprised they remix at all but as a new player i do appreciate the opportunity to pickup items that i missed before taking up the game for sure.

[remote thunder]

i'd appreciate it too, for sure, if i was in that situation

[wide totem]

That’s true

I even made a stack of lube anticipating needing it to make bait

A lot of gamma root

[open dagger]

I started the week before Aquarius was introduced and have done all the redux that followed after doing Curse. Honestly, apart from catching up on all the missed goodies that somehow make me feel less "adequate" when i visit the Anomaly before i got them, i feel like they gave me a doctorate in the game 🤣

[open dagger]

Bait eh????

[wide totem]

Ya

One of the lures requires lube if memory serves

[open dagger]

Ahh.. the right bait makes all the difference for sure

[wide totem]

I have a tendency to make a stack of whatever it is a store, which means I needed 80 lubes

[open dagger]

Same - always over prepare and always out of inventory space

[wide totem]

I ended up making a stack of every advanced material, that took a lot of planting stuff

[open dagger]

Very cool

[jolly drum]

Well, didn't get to finish Aquarius today, got stuck in an unending teleport between two star systems while I was wrapping up, and had to kill the process. I don't know if I'll start another new save and play the next one or not.

[blazing fossil]

You have eleven days left

Just force close the game and reopen it and it should work if it happens again

[jolly drum]

I don't know if I want to start this expedition over either.

[proud night]

Anyone doing the expidition? Im trying to find a under water friget I had seen at the thired rondevue. But I cant find it now... And I dont have the mats to make a sub....

[remote thunder]

underwater "friget"?

[proud night]

( sigh )

fraighter

On planet Eslemecu Delta

[ocean gorge]

Visiting sunken freighters isn’t a required part of this expedition. So I guess you’re just wanting to visit one for your own exploration?
You don’t need a Nautilon to visit those, usually. If you happen to spot one, you can usually see the parts of the sunken freighter sticking up out of the water. If you have Aqua Jets on your ship (I think this expedition rewards you Aqua Jets) you can land on the water above the sunken freighter. If you have any water tech upgrades for your exosuit, you can use oxygen to replenish them. Also the kelp sac plants will replenish your oxygen (found underwater)

[livid drift]

What bait do you recommend for the large fish catching milestone? I figured the peeled claws you get from crabs seemed to be my safest bet, but what else?

More things seem to be rarity + than size +

[remote thunder]

even some of the basic baits will do fine, as long as you're fishing in deep waters -- deepest i've seen was 118u, deepest i know of was 120u. anything about 50-60u will be fine for large, and it seems that colossal might be more common at 70-80+u deep

[livid drift]

Aha, so it's the depth. Good to know. I've been in shallower spots for a bit, like 30u tops, but I think I know of somewhere that's more like ~70u

...of course, my automatic trap keeps catching colossal fish XD

[remote thunder]

hehe

[livid drift]

On that note, there's no penalty for aquatic ship landings, is there? I don't see anything but just in case

[remote thunder]

no penalty, no

[livid drift]

Someone's base advertises 97u, maybe I'll look there

[remote thunder]

sounds perfect for the job so far

[keen zephyr]

Anyone know how deep you need for The Lunker?

[ocean gorge]

I had luck once I got at least 50u or more
Depth seemed to matter more than bait, although bait probably never hurts to use

[livid drift]

This base is cool... can people really put little treasures that others can open in their base?

Either that or this base was cleverly built around them

[remote thunder]

hmm.. yeah, there's a few base parts that can serve that purpose i guess

[livid drift]

They just register as regular containers, I open them and get microprocessors and things

Like this

[remote thunder]

yeah, those are one of the some i was thinking of -- the red barrels on the left there too, but those require atlas pass

also, supply depots with harvested mats from hotspots

[surreal mantle]

Why will it not let me return to main save?

[remote thunder]

if you want to return to primary save now, you must back out, (and save -- dont forget to save), then pause/options/return to primary

feel free to put items in the stash ofc, then backout and save

[surreal mantle]

Lol, can I then just take the items out?

[remote thunder]

once you're back in primary yeah; then just save again, and resume expedition -- "abusing" mechanic if you want

[surreal mantle]

Lol

That's funny, but I have no need for it anyways :))

Okay, thank you! :D

[livid drift]

Is there anything special you need for the scales of fire milestone? I did install the angler's rig if that makes a difference

[remote thunder]

nah -- no bait needed, milestone selected, just keep on fishing, it will drop

[livid drift]

...aaaaand my game just froze/crashed for some reason. I didn't do much since last save but

[remote thunder]

aww

are you alt-tabbing a lot to get back on discord?

[livid drift]

yeah.

[remote thunder]

do you use borderless? and run a nvidia gpu?

[livid drift]

That and I think I misclicked something that made it mad

Nvidia yes I think, borderless no

I am dedicated to Windowed

[remote thunder]

might want to give borderless a try sometime

[livid drift]

but I get anxious when I can't see all my stuff! (just kidding... mostly)

[remote thunder]

also, since you're on nvidia, might want to give this post a look <#nms-questions message>. screenshot it or something maybe 🙂

[livid drift]

More than alt tabbing I sometimes drag to my taskbar and click something else

[remote thunder]

oh -- also, instead of alt tabbing, try pressing the windows key, then on the nms button in the task bar, hit it a few times to minimize it

those emojis are straight up adorable

anime, love it

[livid drift]

Thank you XD

I can't help it, I like being able to gesture on the internet...

[remote thunder]

watching Ishura as we speak

[supple swan]

just finished the expedition :D

oh wait i didn't do it in my main save so i get no rewards?

[livid drift]

All that's left for me is the storm fish. the "you're almost done" triumph BGM is a banger

[supple swan]

it just says select equipment

[remote thunder]

you get to claim phase and final rewards from quicksilver shop/collect expedition rewards

in any save under the same account

[supple swan]

ah

[cold marsh]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[livid drift]

I was enjoying the view, but uh, I didn't realize I had a viewing buddy...

whoa...

[remote thunder]

plant fauna 🤩

[plucky lichen]

Ughhghuc I love the fauna creatures so much. Such cool designs

[remote thunder]

insects are really cool too

[livid drift]

Somehow it's the storm fish that's giving me trouble even with storm fish bait

[supple swan]

you can do it anywhere during a storm, like someone's base that's covered

or at least that's what happened to me, i didn't even use bait i was just fishing

[livid drift]

I swear I'm not getting any storm fish. It's weird waiting for a storm to start instead of end

[young needle]

hey there, I'm doing aquarius, and really struggling with the lunker milestone. I've caught fish all the way up to collossal, I'm fishing in 76 depth, and still I'm at 0/2. is there a trick to it I'm not getting?
any pointers are greatly appreciated

[livid drift]

Make sure you have the milestone selected

(I think)

[remote thunder]

wait - is this is the large fish one?

[young needle]

confirmed, I do have it selected

yes

[livid drift]

Some trigger automatically when they're hit and some don't. I'm not sure why

[tidal pollen]

Okay, didn't know fishing was this fun, really well done in this game.

[remote thunder]

are you using bait for increased size, and fishing at 50+u deep?

[remote thunder]

fishing is so relaxing

[young needle]

I'm fishing at 76 deep, what bait should I be using?

[livid drift]

It's really chill, great for days when my brain cannot hold Anything

[young needle]

so far I've mostly stuck with spicy chum

[remote thunder]

how much is that giving you btw?

[young needle]

I've caught everything from small to colossal, but nothing is triggering, I'm still at 0/2

[remote thunder]

do you have multiplayer enabled, and/or are you playing with friend(s) in a group?

[young needle]

just by myself. oh wow, just as we are speaking I got a colossal and it triggered it

I have 1/2 now, I'll take the progress

and it was with my very last spicy chum, haha

it was a colossal mossback

[remote thunder]

strange that it wasn't counting

[young needle]

yeah it doesn't make sense. well I'll keep trying here. thanks all

[remote thunder]

hopefully goes smooth now

[livid drift]

Guess it just needed a jostling

IIRC leftover items get converted into units upon expedition finish, right?

...so am I silly for just nutrient processing my fish so I get more units out of them

[remote thunder]

or nanite value (for packages; installed tech only has value if it has a charge value)

[livid drift]

Good note about packages. I threw a fit and dismantled some earlier because I was low on inventory space XD

Man, right when I need a storm there are none

[remote thunder]

goto an extreme weather planet 😄

[livid drift]

At this rate I will, beats bouncing between all my bases

From a glance, how do you know which ones are extreme vs. just rough? Like, if you're looking through your visited systems

also, has anyone else periodically been losing online discovery services? I never had it happen this often before

[remote thunder]

looking for the activated stellar metal ones, with the exception of lush biomes (ones that also have star bulb on resource list)

[livid drift]

ugh, I forgot that part XD

derp. there were two in the same system as angler spot 5.

[livid drift]

"Rainy Planet" wouldn't count, would it? Just saw it has activated copper but also star bulbs

[remote thunder]

not going to be an extreme weather planet, but may still have frequent storms

[livid drift]

There's one more planet that would qualify and I can't find it in the system X_X

[remote thunder]

remember to use the ship 1st person view mini radar

[bitter anchor]

If you release them into the water you get nanites

[tidal pollen]

do toxic planets count for the irradiated fish thing

[remote thunder]

up to 200 nanites (legendaries) each, but have to release 1 by 1

[remote thunder]

need a planet with water with gamma root on resource list

[tidal pollen]

thanks!

[livid drift]

I was using that, but somehow that last planet never came into view

[remote thunder]

360º around

it will be there somewhere - sometimes hiding just behind another -- pulse drive in different directions

[livid drift]

bah XD I'm doing that with something else now, there's several planets bunched together

What kind of planet is "Obsidian Bead"?

[bitter anchor]

I think it's an anomaly planet

[finite steeple]

sounds like an anomaly... could also be a volcano chaos thing. since obsidian is volcanic glass... would be interested to see if theres a glitch decoration there.

[livid drift]

I'm in a Wall of Fire. if I don't see a storm fish here I'm gonna yell XD

[finite steeple]

wonder what that would taste like.....

[blazing fossil]

Don't worry
It took me 6 hours to get 3 of them on the first run of aquarius

[livid drift]

I'm pretty sure I'm fishing in the shadow of an active volcano

[finite steeple]

do you get any ships or whatever from aquarius? wondering if its worth doing it since i havent started it.

[livid drift]

The "main rewards" are cosmetic IIRC, but you can grab a LOT of resources

Time to wait till next WALL OF FIRE

I think you get 2 hadal cores from something and I'm sitting here like WOO NANITES

[devout echo]

is discovery services acting up for anyone else?

[livid drift]

Yup, I was asking earlier- it's for me at least

I bumped into the "runaway mold" curious deposits earlier and... well. I didn't expect them to ROLL.

but! NANITES

[ocean gorge]

I’m losing ODS a lot, but I’m on Switch which is just using wifi instead of connected by wired internet (which my other consoles use) so it’s not atypical for me to lose connection to ODS on my Switch a good bit

[livid drift]

This is where I am for now. I have the... bizarre urge to investigate the mouth of that volcano

[livid drift]

On that note, it's happening to me but I'm on PC

Something is a bit awry

[devout echo]

Currently on steam ... but I play on switch too ... on switch on that screen I think you can press X to try and reconnect

[livid drift]

...I have nothing but time and madness. I'm going up that mountain

[ocean gorge]

Sometimes you can, but it doesn’t always offer that option

[blazing fossil]

Let's just chalk it up to switch magic

[livid drift]

It's happening on my end on PC too though

Also, uh, volcano trip on hold

[ocean gorge]

If I had to make a guess, it probably tries to reconnect a number of times. If you catch it in a certain window it offers to let you try to reconnect. If it’s tried and can’t connect to ODS it probably just says you’ve lost connection🤷‍♀️ (or could be that the connection just lags out)

I reloaded the game and it had a connection long enough for me to visit a base and get some copper at the start in order to refine for chromatic metal, so I can get to another system so I can get my main ship copied over xD

[livid drift]

FINALLY DID IT and then proceeded to celebrate by running around an active volcano grabbing storm crystals.

I'm bringing this one back with me. (well. an egg.)

[ocean gorge]

You can’t transfer eggs in the expedition terminus. But if you make a base there, you can go back in your main save and adopt it @livid drift

Looks like you have a base?

I wish we could transfer eggs😭
I guess they figure people would abuse that (like with expedition-specific reward eggs)

[livid drift]

NOOOOOOO uh. heck

I do think I found this critter on that planet

I guess I got confused when I could transfer an expedition-specific egg from adrift redux back

[iron tendon]

Lol I have a 4 SC slot starting C class multitool again

[livid drift]

Defiance indeed...

[blazing fossil]

That's just somethign that happens

[livid drift]

"where are all your nanites going to" "COMPANION SLOTS."

[blazing fossil]

If you start an exped from an existing save your expedition starting tool will mimic your default save sc layout

[livid drift]

Side note, what should I do with, uh, the angler... (spoilers?) ||the octopus known as the angler||

[blazing fossil]

Whatever you want

[livid drift]

I'm keeping it with me/letting it get swept up in the post-expedition item conversion, but I was wondering if there were any other uses

Transferring him over to main save feels a bit cruel XD

Does the lost angler's rig do anything special outside of the expedition relative to the regular one?

me sweating over which tech to bring over

[vapid axle]

I cannot find the heated fish

Does hot’n’deep marina have them?

[cold tulip]

If it has solanium on the resource list

[vapid axle]

Any planet that has solanium?

[livid drift]

NANITES!!! (and that's a wrap)

[vapid axle]

I dunno which bases have them

[livid drift]

Bases aren't important. Planets are.

[vapid axle]

And I can’t find where to craft magpulse lure

[jolly drum]

If you employ geometry, the angler can help you in base building. Well, not really, but it seemed like a worthwhile joke.

[vapid axle]

Yes I do not have magpulse and I don’t know where to buy it

[low jackal]

craft it
one of the milestone give you blueprint

[sly sedge]

I'm having a hell of a time finding a radioactive planet with water. Anyone got any directions to one?

[junior wadi]

i found one on my first jump toward next angler spot

[bitter anchor]

No

[sly sedge]

Any chance you remember the name of it?

[low jackal]

just jump to system that says water and look for radioactive planet

shouldnt be too hard

[sly sedge]

That's what she said.

[low jackal]

lmao

[sly sedge]

I was doing that for quite a chunk of time last night, couldn't find one.

[low jackal]

or check the anomaly teleporter list for others base

chances are someone set up base on one

[sly sedge]

Sadly, no one who's currently active.

[junior wadi]

uh i think it was ridog viii

isotopic planet

rekorri-Alai system

[sly sedge]

Thanks, I'll see if I can find that.

[gleaming wind]

What is the trident key for?

[frozen laurel]

opens the large crate underwater, same as the land keys

[gleaming wind]

Ah ok

[supple swan]

you'll need living pearls

[supple swan]

the amount of freighters i had to save during the expo 😭

[low jackal]

hot take: leave them to die

[iron tendon]

For some reason, I can build a base computer but it says "universal archive search reveal previous base registration. Construct terminal on a new site". Is it something to do wrong discovery services being down?

[low jackal]

no

it is just someone else already claimed that area for base building

happen alot in expedition system

[iron tendon]

Usually when the area is claimed, I wouldn't be able to put the computer down

[solemn bane]

It's more likely they just haven't written the code to support eggs, since they are more complicated than other items. Like, what would you even get out of "abusing" eggs, lol.

[ashen shore]

Hey, once you have completed the expedition how do you transfer your rewards to another save? Or are they already transferred automatically?

[misty plinth]

All the phase unlocks are available to all current and future saves. Collect them from the QuickSilver merchant.

[ashen shore]

Nice, thanks!

[gilded orchid]

Cheap thrills

[solemn bane]

Oh dang, those are forbidden!

[gilded orchid]

Only egg abuse

[gilded orchid]

Maybe the other base has not been uploaded yet?

[supple swan]

i think i got all the money i earned from the expo to my main save, but i did the entire expo on a seperate save, and there wasn't the screen for things/tech to carry over to my main when i completed the expo, so does money get transferred or just phase rewards?

[misty plinth]

If you started the expedition with a fresh save then it becomes a non-expedition (normal) save when you end and close it out. The phase rewards are claimable on ALL saves after you've earned them.

[supple swan]

so i now have 2 normal saves?

[ashen shore]

How do I bring things back from the expedition save? As in, technologies (such as the fishing rod) and some of the fish I caught?

Do I have to hand in the expedition first and then do that? I can't interact with the expedition terminus at the anomaly

[silk rain]

don't know if you still need it but on system 4 of the angler's missions there is a nuclear planet

[ocean gorge]

There are expedition specific egg rewards, that you can’t share with others otherwise (unless I’m mistaken, someone can correct me if I am) unless…
(1) you give up yours (from your save, after you claimed it from the QS vendor)
(2) you save edit to get more of them
I think that’s right…
But eggs and trying to get the special expedition ones aren’t something I’ve tried to do, I’ve settled for what I’ve earned on my own🤷‍♀️

[solemn bane]

Even if they thought that would be some horrible sin, they could just add a flag to such eggs to make sure those specifically couldn't be sent while other eggs could. I really doubt they simply don't want people to send eggs back, it just takes time to implement.

[ocean gorge]

Expeditions have been going on for several years now, as I understand. Eggs aren’t exactly a new mechanic either. So I’m not really seeing this as a mechanic they need time to implement.

[solemn bane]

When I say eggs are more complicated than other items, I mean wildly more complicated. Like moreso than ships I think.

[ocean gorge]

Only thing that has happened relatively recently is the ability to do expeditions from existing saves

[solemn bane]

Yes, and everything has priorities and everything takes time

[ocean gorge]

Still, it’s been about a year for that

[solemn bane]

A year that their priority has been some other game. Everything has priorities, everything takes time. If they don't see it as a priority, it may never get done. That doesn't mean they actively don't want people sending random eggs back to their main save. And it just wouldn't make any sense.

[ocean gorge]

While they are a small group, and yes they have a lot of other stuff they’re working on, I suspect eggs aren’t really something they have any high priority to have people transfer over

[solemn bane]

Good, glad we agree.

[ocean gorge]

If you say so

[tired badger]

Are there any other lures to catch high-dollar fish besides mealworms, spicy chum and bionic lures? Trying to complete Fresh Sell Fish

[ocean gorge]

The bionic lures are best for getting the legendary fish I think
Mealworms don’t do a lot to the chances I don’t think (it shows when you equip a bait what stats it influences)
Spicy chum is an all-around good bait

[grave arrow]

Is the anglers dream just a legendary fish?

Do I need to go to a fire planet?

[ocean gorge]

No, you don’t need to go to a special planet.
It’s a legendary fish named for the milestone

[grave arrow]

Ok

[ocean gorge]

Should catch this one

[supple swan]

that counts as the legendary

for the achievement

[grave arrow]

Ty

[cyan pollen]

Where is a irradiated Planet?

[remote thunder]

there's a suitable planet in rendezvous 4 system

look for gamma root on resource list

[hardy geyser]

those who made farms in expiditions I love you too thank you for clutching this for me ❤️ 😂

[remote thunder]

yeah, bases can be really helpful

[wooden wren]

Should i the expedition? I have never done one before

[hardy geyser]

I’m just stocking on basic material before heading off

[wooden wren]

And are the rewards worth it

[hardy geyser]

I’m doing one rn doesn’t seem to bad so far

[remote thunder]

this one is really chill

mostly about fishing

[wooden wren]

Can you do previous expeditions?

[hardy geyser]

Well I’m a cosmetic guy so I want it

[hardy geyser]

It’s on rotation

[remote thunder]

officially, only the one that's live atm

[remote thunder]

https://www.nomanssky.com/2025/01/aquarius-expedition-redux/

[wooden wren]

Same looking good in a game is my #1 priority

[remote thunder]

check them out in that link

[wooden wren]

Alright thanks

[hardy geyser]

Or check the steam annoucement

[wooden wren]

Ah ok

[hardy geyser]

This current one is fishing and for me the highlight reward are cosmetic

It ends on 22th after that the next expidition rerun is the cursed ship which look like the falcon in Star Wars

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.

[wooden wren]

Oh wow that armor is awesome reminds me of bioshock

[remote thunder]

also remember to check pinned posts here

rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.
,regardless of whether you started an exp run from main menu or from an existing save

[hardy geyser]

Oo ic prob should’ve done that from main menu if starting fresh I heard if u want some stuff from anomaly then I can start from an existing save

[remote thunder]

either way, it's totally fine

[hardy geyser]

Yeah

[remote thunder]

starting from existing save allows one to merge more progress into main save

[hardy geyser]

Oh tru yeah right basically

[remote thunder]

while starting from a new save is just cut off from main save -- perhaps because main save has lots of hours on it and doesn't really need anything, or because people like to keep things separated

[hardy geyser]

Sry auto correct lmao

[hardy geyser]

Icic

[remote thunder]

phase and final rewards: are always unlocked account wide, so yeah, just have to be claimed from qs shop in any other save

[hardy geyser]

Mhm

[remote thunder]

if u want some stuff from anomaly
right; starting from existing save does let you take items from main save into the expedition run, retrievable after player reaches anomaly in the expedition run

starting from existing save does not make a new save in the main menu -- it just uses free space in existing save file, to sorta overlay the exp run on top of

(which is why when you return to main menu before completing, you'll see what used to be a main save, "normal mode" etc, will then read "community expedition", but with the play time counter of both main and active exp run)

also, how expedition terminus inventory/gear copying ability is able to work ofc.

[hardy geyser]

Yeye

[remote thunder]

and the ability to go back and forth between exp run and primary save

pretty cool.

[hardy geyser]

Ye

[glossy steeple]

I’m having an issue today with two milestones in the Aquarius redux missions. I have deployed an automated fish collector successfully, twenty minutes ago. Not one fish caught yet. Whilst waiting I went to an ice world and caught 3 uncommon fish. The relevant milestone did not complete. Is it me? Or is there a known issue at the moment? Thank you.

[remote thunder]

1. auto traps: must be in the system for like an hour
2. must be uncommon or rarer, and have in description "only caught in icy waters" -- not all uncommon or rarer fish caught in frozen biome planets (frost crystal on resource list) will count

[glossy steeple]

Thank you @remote thunder

[remote thunder]

would suggest keeping mp disabled for 1)

[hardy geyser]

Also @remote thunder will bases be saved once expidition is over like can I come back to the planet in the future?

[remote thunder]

yep

[hardy geyser]

Sweet

[hardy geyser]

Also does the ship you claim transfer to the main save if I stated expidition from main save? Does that transfer include freighters too and does the free freighter for first timer apply to expidition as well since it is a “new” save

[remote thunder]

Also does the ship you claim transfer to the main save
a ship only transfers back to primary if you copy it back

Does that transfer include freighters too
no

does the free freighter for first timer apply to expidition as well since it is a “new” save
yes

[hardy geyser]

If so if I claim a freighter in the expidition it will not use the free claim in my main save right

[remote thunder]

right

[hardy geyser]

Sweet so I can get a free freighter in both my main save and expidition thx

I'm having severe difficulty finding a very hot planet for the "In Hot Water" milestone. I've been warping for ages and no hot planet. Any hints?

[fringe sierra]

Yes but once u end the exp and transfer ur stuff over that freighter will be converted to units and stiff and u CANT go back to it again

[fringe sierra]

There's a hot planet in the first fishing spot system

I did nearly half the milestones in the first and second system

[ocean gorge]

Just want to make sure what you mean by “new” in quotation marks.
If you are using an existing save, and already have a freighter in your main save, if you decide to claim a freighter during the expedition it won’t transfer over back to your main save (since you already have a freighter in your main save). So be careful about that.

Also, if you copy your ship from your main save over into the expedition, I’m not sure why you’d want to copy it back to your main save at the end, unless you just want another copy of the ship, and perhaps all its tech🤷‍♀️ There is no special ship to claim in this expedition, unlike some of the previous ones.

You also cannot have 2 freighters. If you got a free freighter during the expedition (not owning a freighter previously) and then decided to get another one once back in your main save, you’d have to exchange out that free freighter since you know already own one

[fringe sierra]

Go to the fishing spot system

Select EVERY SINGLE milestone from all of the phases.

And just knock any our that are able to let u do them

It's how I run every exp I usually have the rdv spots left before I get to the 3rd warp

@tall vector ^

Rinse and repeat at each fishing spot system and ull have all the basic milestones done super early

[ocean gorge]

I think it’s the second fishing drop spot, but I know for sure one of the Angler’s spots is on a hot planet. You get sent to all the required biomes, hot, cold, and irradiated. Sometimes it just takes time. You can also check the teleport menu at the space station and look for bases that say something like “hot/heat fishing” or some variation of that

[fringe sierra]

If not sent to them u have one of each in the systems the fishing spots are in.

Just not in order lmao

[ocean gorge]

Yes, but it’s more difficult to tell which of the planets have water from a distance.
It’s just easy to go to the drop point planets as they meet all the requirements if you don’t want to waste time😅

[fringe sierra]

Meh I had the exp done in under 5 hours on the first day

So I didn't waste to much

[ocean gorge]

It’s definitely a chill expedition. Very nice

[hardy geyser]

Ye well bk told me u can transfer it either way so I won’t bother getting it in expidition

[fringe sierra]

U can't transfer the freighter.

I can transfer all ur stuff that's in it out. But not the freighter itself

[hardy geyser]

Ic so it will use up my “free” freighter ticket in the expidition making me need to pay in the main save?

[fringe sierra]

O I'm assuming u ment can't my bad

[fringe sierra]

No it shouldn't cause it isn't a new save but it counts as a new save for anything u do in it

Otherwise all ur blueprints would go back.

[ocean gorge]

I guess it doesn’t use it up, but you still can’t have 2 freighters. It would be an odd scenario, because you still have to exchange them if you had claimed a freighter already

[fringe sierra]

I have a freighter in main save and I get the free freighter on every exp

[fringe sierra]

Exactly it won't come back

But it can be accepted and just stripped of resources before u end exp

[ocean gorge]

Oh but bk already said the freighter doesn’t transfer

[fringe sierra]

No it doesn't transfer

I have a dreadnought on main

I get a free one on exp and before I finish strip it and then basically forget it

[frozen laurel]

Freighters are unrelated and stay within the expedition.

[ocean gorge]

So you’re just going to be using for expedition. Which I wouldn’t mess with it personally but that’s personal preference

[frozen laurel]

You get paid nanites for having one and frigates.

[fringe sierra]

Depends on the expedition if it's actually used but yes

[fringe sierra]

This

[frozen laurel]

And access to storage units is great.

[hardy geyser]

Icic thx~

[fringe sierra]

Depends on exp this one didn't have them readily available for me I had to u lock them so I said screw ot

[ocean gorge]

Actually nvm because the expedition freighter doesn’t transfer, so it won’t matter. Knock yourself out

As to the storage needs, I used an interceptor with like 50 storage on it this expedition, has helped a lot. And got 2 storage crates unlocked for land bases

[fringe sierra]

Lol I transferred my 110 slot Boundary herald over so I was usually fine but the extra nanites and stuff is welcomed so I get them for the principle of it

[frozen laurel]

I mean that they're always accessible from the freighter.

[ocean gorge]

I don’t need nanites, I have farms of RM in my saves

[fringe sierra]

Valid u can bring them to u without building a while new base

[frozen laurel]

Also don't cost 5 salvaged data each to unlock.

[misty kite]

how do i catch irradiated fish?

[ocean gorge]

I have lots of salvaged data, I usually bring over 30-60 with me into expedition to make it easy to unlock stuff

[ocean gorge]

Go to the 4th drop location when you are ready for that part

You don’t have to do milestones in order

[misty kite]

oh, its THAT far?

[fringe sierra]

To be fair I don't need anything but qs. But increasing my numbers for doing next to nothing is ok by me

[misty kite]

damn

[fringe sierra]

Or u can spend time lurching surrounding systems till u find one

[ocean gorge]

Just do other things for now, you don’t need to jump ahead

[fringe sierra]

But its easier to just pause that one till rdv 4

U can complete any milestone from any phase in any order so just skip it

[ocean gorge]

Exactly. No need to get hung up on a milestone, they often are even better done out of order

[fringe sierra]

Lol I check every one before even fixing my ship and do all I can

Some of requirements that may not be met before I can do them but I tend to have a bunch done very very early on

[weak jay]

Did you get an answer to this? I was working on Aquarius last night and someone told me to look for a planet with Gamma root. Within minutes of being on the water I had my fish.

[misty kite]

yes, to go to the 4th drop location

[weak jay]

Thanks!

[wooden wren]

How do i get Crystal suphide 😢😢

[low jackal]

use visor in the ocean and look for this symbol

[wooden wren]

[dull elbow]

I'll point out that its good to take a look at all the milestones (the ones you can see anyway), and if you happen to be on a planet that meets the criteria of one of the future milestones, I'll generally hangout there to see if I can satisfy those milestones.

The current expedition is a great example of this, I think the first planet is the hot planet, so you catch all those fish there, even though that's a much later milestone. (hope I'm remembering right)

I think I did a scan on the first planet and saw there were a bunch of armored clams and did that one too. Again, not sure of memory, might have been second.

[lime gate]

I was wondering if anyone knows what influences the buy back price in nanites of the ship when you go form the main save to an expedition and back?

sometimes it's 2,800 nanites (most of the time) but I've seen it as 30k or under 2k

[remote thunder]

iirc up to ~3k nanites -- tech inventory size/nr of installed tech

[solemn kiln]

I reached 2.8k tops, which probably means my ship sucks 😄

[lime gate]

I'm experimenting with the system and maybe I saw wrong but I brought the boundary herald ufo ship from my main save to the expedition, then deleted the one on my main save to bring it back (since it doesn't allow duplicates) and it definitely started with a 3, may have been 3k not 30 but buying it on main save is definitely more expensive than buying it in the expedition
my sentinel ship is 2,800 when I buy it on the expedition, and 7,000 when buying it back on the main save

[remote thunder]

30k does sound like a lot

[open dagger]

Slightly diff take on the freighter question - it you started a new expedition save for Aquarius does any freighter you acquire become part of the new regular save on completion? I would like to continue the exp save as a new option to play going forward and want to keep as much as possible.

[fallow loom]

All exp saves become regular saves at the end. Unless you delete them.

[copper niche]

Does anyone know how to get the angler's message in the second section?

I can't figure it out

[open dagger]

Yes, understand that which is why i started a new exp save - my question is does the newly converted account keep it's freighter if it gets one during the expedition? They do not transfer when you start the exp from your main save.

[copper niche]

I believe if it's a new save, you keep the freighter

Do I just keep fishing on the indicated planet or something for the angler's message?

[remote thunder]

just make sure you have the milestone selected, keep fishing, no bait needed

[copper niche]

Ah, gotcha

[remote thunder]

my question is does the newly converted account save keep it's freighter if it gets one during the expedition?
(to confirm) yes

all progress up until the point of conversion is kept

it just ceases to be an expedition save -- no reset happens or anything

it will start the main storyline at the end of awakenings

[elder yarrow]

Do you need like 5k nanites for an S class ship and multi tool import?

[open dagger]

Seems like i remember between 4.5 and 5k nanites. Started a new exp save this time so my memory could be off

[elder yarrow]

how do I get to the anamoly?

[surreal mantle]

I made a duplicate of my space ship, would it be smart to sell it for units before ending expedition?

[open dagger]

You will need to leave the starter planet and warp to your first new star system then you can summon it from your utility menu (X on the PC)

[elder yarrow]

yeah, not seeing that, do you have to make it to R1 first?

[dull elbow]

You need to warp once I think

[open dagger]

You just need to warp to your first new system - that should do it. The summon option is a scroll to the left of the galaxy map icon - looks like a tennis ball 😉

[elder yarrow]

i'll have to recheck once i'm off the planet... barely had enough fuel to make a single jump... didn't see the icon when i had hit the first system.

and yeah, just missed it hte first time XD

and now with the ship and my staff... this expedition just got a whole lot easier

[tough sluice]

Question about The Cursed expedition: How soon can one get to the anomaly to collect gear? Trying to prep now for it.

[fringe sierra]

After ur first warp to a new system.

Its the same for all expeditions

[strong saffron]

@julesli

[tough sluice]

I figured, but I thought there was no warping in this one?

[vapid mulch]

Fins of Thunder drives me crazy

[remote thunder]

you portal out of the starter system basically

i loved that expedition

[remote thunder]

using magpulse lure bait already? try to find a planet where storms last longer, like an extreme weather planet

[vapid mulch]

yes i use this bait, maybe my planet istn right

[remote thunder]

any planet with storms is suitable for the milestone, but extreme weather planets (most planets with activated copper/cadmium/emeril/indium) will have longer storm durations

more frequent too

[vapid mulch]

thx for the info i will search for this kind of planet

[remote thunder]

np, good luck!

[vapid mulch]

its not that easy i just played 25 houres this game ^^

[remote thunder]

remember that you can use a combination of a) Discoveries menu and b) (quick menu/utilities/change to cockpit camera) the ship mini radar to quickly locate planets in a system

[vapid mulch]

oh thats a new info for me

[vapid mulch]

3rd fish now its complete 🙂

[remote thunder]

nice!

[surreal mantle]

I made a duplicate of my space ship, would it be smart to sell it for units before ending expedition?

[ocean gorge]

Couple of things, I think I know why someone was saying they weren’t having a colossal fish count towards the enormous fish milestone (perhaps)…
There is a “Colossal Shrimp” you can catch, which isn’t colossal class. Its large, so that is indeed confusing😔

The other thing, I wanted to ask you about. Playing on Series X and now Switch, I’ve had this encounter both times and I don’t know what it means or leads to, since I’ve never seen it before in regular play. I’m assuming it’s not expedition related. Is this some sort of side quest? Should I pursue it?

[spiral fossil]

Do you always start an expedition with zero nanites? Or can I transfer them so I can get my ship/multi-tool right away?

[remote thunder]

one of the ways to find a sentinel crashed ship, via a space encounter 🙂

[ocean gorge]

You always start with no nanites. You can bring over things to refine or sell (like tech or suspicious packets you’ve bought) so you can get nanites once you’ve made it to the anomaly for the first time. There are other things you can refine for nanites as well of course

[ocean gorge]

Oh, cool, thanks! I’ve just never seen that happen before😅
I just didn’t want to get led into some ambush by a sentinel freighter or smth😂

[tough sluice]

So that counts, and then you can summon the anomaly?

[remote thunder]

yeah

[tough sluice]

Sweet!

Just prepping with plenty of nanites and fuel.

[supple swan]

there's already a base for it, i even got aeron jetpack from the harminizer or whatever that led me to a camp

the fighter i got was c rank tho :(

[misty vigil]

How did you guys do?

[elder yarrow]

oh... i can show you what my final reward looks like with the scrapping of my S rank maxed out starship along with the S rank maxed out MT... but imports are a bit cheeky that way tbh

[waxen geode]

🤔 at the end of the fishing & ting
Do I need to sell of everything on the little boat ting or will all the fish in it be sold automatically 4 me 🤨

[misty vigil]

This is my first time doing an expedition with my main save. And only my second fully complete expedition. I’m still pretty new to the game so I don’t really know what I should be doing to get more profit from expeditions.

[cunning idol]

Hi guys 👋 What expedition is out?

[sly sedge]

All done with 9 days to spare. Nice.

[sly sedge]

Mainly the same stuff you do in the main game.

[quaint urchin]

Once you start the Expedition, go into your Discoveries Tab and you can claim the Nanites for any planet where you scanned all Fauna on your Primary save (This data is shared between the saves). This screen shot was taken like 5 minutes after starting an expedition off of my main save.

[quaint urchin]

Aquarius. https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/11/holiday-2024-expeditions/

[sly sedge]

You can't transfer them directly, but you can put some items in the Expedition Terminus that can be refined for nanites. I'm a big fan of putting a stack of runaway mould, and some halal cores in there.

What's the deal with the portal coordinates on the Angler's Diary objects. I didn't need to use them in the expedition, so why are they there?

[ocean gorge]

Probably just story filler🤷‍♀️
I’m guessing they match the glyphs of the planets we go to (which the glphys are listed in the pins, if you wanted to check) but since we aren’t given glyphs for travel in this expedition, nor do we need them, we wouldn’t have a lot of use for them tbh😂

Yeah, they do match up with those glyphs for the systems in the pins

#nms-expedition message

[ripe summit]

I'm struggling with getting a legendary fish 😭

[ocean gorge]

One you will get at the end, I’m pretty sure it’ll count (it’s the hidden milestone)
Have you tried the bionic lures you’re given? I know it only gives you 5, but just about any bait will increase your chances some…

Oh wait you just need one legendary. So the one at the end should cover it, I think

[ripe summit]

I tried with the bionic lures but I wasn't lucky, do I just keep trying with the hidden milestone fish?

Ah

[sick niche]

Anyone know what's happening here?

I am underwater... but it won't deploy the trap

[tired badger]

Is the rdv5 planet the right one to catch Scales Of Fire? Any special location? I’ve used up my expensive lures and haven’t caught it.

[ocean gorge]

The special milestone, doesn’t require bait

[tired badger]

Good to know. Same question

[ocean gorge]

Just have it checked as your active milestone

[tired badger]

I have. Is it rng still?

[ocean gorge]

Yeah

[tired badger]

Ugh

[ocean gorge]

It happened fast for me

[tired badger]

I’m happy for you

[ocean gorge]

I meant that I’m hoping it will work out for you too

[tired badger]

Thanks. Sorry! Just taking a while and feeling snarky

[ocean gorge]

I completely understand

If you have legendary bait, I don’t see why using it would be bad though, I don’t know that it would interfere necessarily

The bionic lures I mean

[tired badger]

Yeah I thought it would speed things up a bit. I think I’m in the minority that this expedition was not my favorite. I’ve always found fishing kinda boring (irl as well). Glad I’m doing it for the expansion slots and tech.

Plus I got a cool interceptor out of it

[bitter anchor]

It was actually the longest one I've done the first time I did it, took almost 10 hours cause I couldn't get the right fish

[ocean gorge]

I’ve discovered some things about fishing though
The skiff, while I like the design and colors, and its storage, the mechanics actually suck.
It should be stable, and not have this crazy “ride the waves” system, because it practically tips, and sends me into the water at times. It’s not stable and makes for an unreliable fishing surface.
Its much better tbh to fish off the top of your ship, if you have the aqua jets installed (which also discovered how useful aqua jets can be)

[tired badger]

It dunked me in the water too! I thought it was funny

[ocean gorge]

Like this is silly, and just unreliable all at the same time😂

I had one of those too, where it dumped me in the ocean but I still caught a fish lol

[left moat]

Does the fins of thunder have to be done in specific storms? Or any type of storm? Been through 5 storms in less than an hour on 4 different planets and not a single storm only fish.

[ocean gorge]

Any storm. I managed it through the regular “rendezvous” planets as they tend to have storms. You don’t need to track down extreme storm planets either, unless you just want extra time in storms.

Also the magpulse lure helps increase chances during storms

[left moat]

And in regular fashion. As soon as I pist my question. I got the fish needed in no time at all 🤣🤣 and I didn't see that lure at all in my craftables.

[ocean gorge]

If posting the question helps, then it served its purpose😅

[loud siren]

Where do I find the deep water giant fish? I tried a couple of public bases labeled deep water.

[wraith junco]

Need to fish in 50+ u deep water. Its rng.

[loud siren]

OK thanks 🙂

[rocky kernel]

Do we know if the squid bobblehead gives any sort of bonus when in a ship like the other ones?

[wraith junco]

It gives same bonus as artemis i think.

[tough sluice]

Yeah it lights up the border when next to Artemis.

And it seems the priority in the cockpit.

No more polo

[lime gate]

it lights up next to polo too, so it could either be maneuverability or pulse engine boost power, though either of them is a welcome bonus :) I hope they add more figures in the future

[misty kite]

sooooo....

i am at the 4th rendezvous point

fished a lot

0 irradiated fish

[loud siren]

Have you try going to one of the public bases that say Nuclear fishing? That is what I tried for the specific fishes.

[remote thunder]

any planet with water with gamma root on resource list would work

gentle reminder that fish has to be uncommon or rarer, and say in the description that it can only be caught in irradiated/radioactive waters or something along those lines

[ocean gorge]

When it comes to cooking, I think it’s just weird that “fish pie” doesn’t include fish at all
It includes salty fingers instead, go figure

But, you can make fish biscuits with fish

[sly sedge]

Can you make fish fingers and custard?

[tough sluice]

So for Cursed, no warping at all? Ever?

I'm packing early 🙂

[remote thunder]

there can be warping, if you copy in a ship from primary (or get a sentinel ship) -- but the intended way of traveling from one rdv system to another is to portal

[tough sluice]

Ah gotcha

I definitely plan on doing that, though I'm sure I'll be following the story instead of going off on my own.

[remote thunder]

you'll see -- portals won't be working as normal

[remote thunder]

i'd suggest that when you want to complete the rdv milestones, do it the way it's intended -- other travel, use the ship

[tough sluice]

That's what I'm thinking

I just want to have a ship and multitool at my disposal to make life easier

Going to take my sentinel with me this time.

It needs to stretch its wings a bit

My Starborn Runner gets all the action

[remote thunder]

hehe

[ashen shore]

Not sure whether this is the right place for the question but

Which expedition save should I keep? The aquarius or liquidators?

[remote thunder]

well, 1) we can have up to 16 saves side by side; 2) there's nothing really about those 2 expeditions that we can't get in other game modes. that said, i'd keep liquidators if you're a combat fan.

side note: i'd probably consider keeping a save from expedition 16: it has the ability to craft a consumable item that can locate portals directly. it is the only item capable of doing so, and it is not available to learn in other expeditions/game modes

[ashen shore]

Ohh, thank you I'm asking because I'm running out of storage space lol. Not sure how large NMS saves can get

[remote thunder]

save files aren't huge -- about 3-4MB in size each

[keen zephyr]

Can an automatic fish trap catch the fish that is only available during a storm?

or do you have to have it on a line?

[rocky kernel]

Pretty sure it has to be on a line to count towards the various parts of the exhibition, at least if you are a looking for a storm fish to hit the storm quest line. Has to go into your inventory when you catch as I think when they go to your ship they don't count either. At least that's what other folks have said and what the folks who do speed runs mentioned.

[remote thunder]

yep, that's true

i was thinking solely from the standpoint of whether the trap can or not

[rocky kernel]

That said I think those traps can catch anything... yeah.

[remote thunder]

it'd probably have to "get lucky" to when the cycle is over, there being a storm maybe? idk

[rocky kernel]

Well besides the bottles probably.

Curious if they can catch the other items or only fish now that I typed that out.

I've only caught "fish"

[remote thunder]

i've not seen anyone with a different result either

oh wait, i replied to the "wrong" question lol

oops - i meant to have replied to the first thing they asked

[jagged sedge]

It seems the fish traps can catch any of the actual fish from the planet they are deployed on, even the 'huge' fish, altho my traps ar in like 3 foot deep water, lol

[remote thunder]

😄

probably not intended that one

[remote thunder]

btw - wish you and your loved ones a happy 2025, as much as possible

[jagged sedge]

Thanks 🙂 To you as well

May all your nipnips grow quickly

[remote thunder]

😄

unless i mod them, they won't

i actually don't grow nip nip - it's been months since i've last crafted anything for cash

[jagged sedge]

I, also

[open dagger]

I had my traps catch Legendary fish during the Redux but they did not count. When i caught the same fish an hour later by line - it counted. suggests that you have to line catch for the expedition.

[remote thunder]

yep, for the milestones, definitely

i'm just going to delete that comment

[remote thunder]

sorry - to be clear, like others have said above -- for fishing milestone completion, you have to do the fishing yourself yes

[stray needle]

[meager scroll]

Because it is

Fish

[sullen fulcrum]

So true

[blazing fossil]

[ashen shore]

I feel the same 😅 took forever to finish this one

[tough sluice]

People who have done Cursed before: anything special I should bring on the expedition?

[sick niche]

Ugh, caught a legendary, didn't realize my inventory was full

so didn't count

ffs

[tough sluice]

😕

[remote thunder]

check this post <#nms-expedition message>, storm crystals won't count so don't bring those; bring hypno eye (original run needed 4 iirc)

[tough sluice]

Interesting. Well now I know not to bring certain things I was expecting to need!

[tough sluice]

So DON'T bring any suspicious hazard protection modules? Those won't help?

[lusty slate]

By the way those recommendations aren't joking about the di-hydrogen. You'll need a LOT.

[tough sluice]

Awesome, thanks!

Think 3000 would be enough?

[lusty slate]

If it were me, a full stack. But I tend to overcompensate my expedition care packages...

Basically, more di-hydrogen in Cursed is never a bad thing.

[tough sluice]

I'm assuming that since you don't warp, you can't get a freighter either

Just curious because I like having a minotaur available wherever I go

Or is that not worth the effort?

[ocean gorge]

I remember when I ran Cursed, I didn’t always have enough tainted metal to bring with me. I got some hypno eyes from derelicts. Just another thought

[tough sluice]

I am bringing about 700 tainted metal. Sounded like that would be enough, no?

And 5 eyes

[blazing fossil]

Think you needed 1000 for og run

[tough sluice]

Wow they aren't messing around with this expedition.

[ocean gorge]

#nms-expedition message
according to bk’s link, you needed 600 so that should be enough

[tough sluice]

Probably, but I'm not chancing it 🙂

[ocean gorge]

Well yeah, if you’re taking some in a stack, having some extra won’t hurt

[tough sluice]

Was going to bring a bunch of suspicious hazard protection modules, but it sounds like they aren't needed?

[lusty slate]

I usually just radiant shard farm prior to expeditions and take those in to refine. If I don't already have access tainted metal.

Bit more effort, but also not reliant on trade access.

[lime gate]

no, there's not gonna be hazard protection in the expedition at all
gets replaced by something else

[sly sedge]

Radiant shard farming ain't a bad idea. I like to take in a full stack of runaway mould. 1999 nanites, just needing a little time to refine.

[tough sluice]

I went with a lot of upgrades to sell for nanites last time. Worked like a charm.

[sly sedge]

Someone suggested stocking up on Suspicious Packages for that. Stack size is 50, so there's a very high potential there.

[remote thunder]

alt: bring x-class hazard modules directly, stacks up to 10 iirc = 7200 nanites

either way, it will payoff - i opened 17 sus pkg tech last time, got about the same amount

stopped at 17 because i was bored of pressing button

[lime gate]

stack size for bringing into the expedition is actually 100, it is the same as freighter and storage container inventory

[sly sedge]

Oh right, I forgot that it's doubled.

[lime gate]

you could turn off the hold to interact, I turned it off completely from accessibility settings :) makes the inventory menu easier to use

[remote thunder]

i do already, thanks 🙂

[bitter anchor]

Just have to catch a storm fish and I'm done with Aquarius! Taking the angler back to my main save

[runic marlin]

How and what for do you actually use it? I havent been able to find a use for mine. Specially for riding it, the controls feel a bit akward and it is a bit slow.ñ

[tired badger]

I only use mine for sentinel ground fights.

[tough sluice]

Yeah that's exactly what I'm doing

[tough sluice]

Try using the jump jets more. They get you around faster. Also get the AI module so it can follow you around and defend you on its own.

Also if you use it to dig up salvage containers, no sentinels appear.

[sly sedge]

I'm so glad I'm not alone with that. Every time I try to fight from within that thing, I get sent to the afterlife. Having it as a "sidekick" is really the only way I can use it.

[misty kite]

for some reason i am unable to dredge up the 4th bottle

i just keep fishing

and fishing

and fishing

and no bottle

and yes i AM in the 4th planet

[remote thunder]

try shallow/deeper water; just make sure not using bait and right milestone selected

[tough sluice]

I never fight in mine. I just use it for traveling and some mining. It’s much better as a companion, otherwise.

Also good for traversing extreme planets.

[sly sedge]

Oh yeah, never thought of it for extreme planets.

[sly sedge]

Does it stay on the ground during wind storms?

[tough sluice]

Yup

They don’t even show up if you’re in it.

[sly sedge]

I should keep that in mind the next time I find myself on one of those planets.

[keen zephyr]

I have a 80u deep water base, frequent radiactive storms. fins of thunder suuuuccckkks

[umbral shell]

Is the fish rerun expedition expected to give the same rewards or should I run through it again to get new stuff?

I'd run through it anyways but been kinda busy

[remote thunder]

it has the same rewards as the original run

[umbral shell]

Cool–thanks bk!

[keen zephyr]

Any specific bait best for the storm fish?

The legendary fish does say to use bionic, but I'm running low after 3 storms

[remote thunder]

magpulse lure will work, so will the ones in this list <#nms-expedition message>

[keen zephyr]

woot

I hav e a bunch of flatfish

Glad I was able to complete one of the missed expeditions, but .... I don't think i'll do this redux again

[remote thunder]

it's pretty chill -- but probably not one lots of players will repeat

[tough sluice]

I missed this year's, so I'm doing all the reduxes

[solemn bane]

Absolutely struggling to build the will to catch non-quest fish 80% of the time for an entire expedition, lol.

At least the requirements were lowered on like every milestone where they could be.

[remote thunder]

yeah (for those who might be wondering, devs normally lower requirements on expedition reduxes comparing to original runs, since the latter always run for longer than its redux)

[bitter anchor]

Anyone else get frustrated and refiner dupe magpulse lures for the fins of thunder

?

[copper niche]

I'm trying to get the collosal fish and it's been a pain

Not sure how to increase my chances on that

[wise meteor]

some types of bait make it more likely. Easiest is using other fish you already caught can give about +25%. And you need to be in deep water at least 50u if possible

[copper niche]

Is that even possible?

I got around 44u at best

[frozen laurel]

Needs to be more than 50u. Check a teleporter for a base name.

[copper niche]

I'll look around tomorrow then

[wise meteor]

On the expedition at some point you should have picked up the mod to land the ship on water. Fly out to deep water and fish off the roof of your ship. I had no luck until I found deep water then caught one in under 10 mins

[humble stirrup]

how much longer on the expedition

[devout echo]

A rerun of Aquarius started! Event ends January 22, 2025 (in 7 days). For help or tips, check ⁠No Man's Sky⁠nms-expedition! :Pins:

there's a button at the top of the channel list that says 'event details.'

[ocean gorge]

I named my bases that had piers with depths of 50-60u or more
I hope they show up for some people
I made them on Series X and Switch so far

[ocean gorge]

I made around 60 of each lure in my main save and brought them over😅
So I had plenty before starting

Well I didn’t make the mealworms because they’re so cheap

Just the ones I wouldn’t have an ingredient with me to make in the expedition itself

[devout echo]

I finished the redux with mealworms only.

the original was a bit more lure unfriendly ... had to use loads of bait.

[grave arrow]

The only problem I'm having is this storm fish 😑

[blazing fossil]

Real

Took me four hours to get a single one last run and then another 2 hours to get the last 2

[grave arrow]

It's the only 1 I need now

Blah

Stupid storms

They last like 5 to 10 minutes and then don't come back for like 30

[devout echo]

Fish from the top of your ship for the storm fish ... don't try to fish from a pier or inside a house.

[grave arrow]

I have been

Lol

[devout echo]

i built a base in the middle of the ocean on an ice planet with terrible storms ... storms came organically while I was trying to catch the ice fish.

[ocean garnet]

What dude names their ship "Celeste" when it's just about the ugliest shuttle ever to exist

[blazing fossil]

Ship taste is subjective

[fallen junco]

The living ships taste the best

Almost like sushi, but less ethical

[grave arrow]

So just found out extreme storms work better I got my storm fish on a planet in R5 system in like 5 minutes

Forget the name but it's the rainy planet there's a single storm shack base on it

[tough sluice]

Sunset on Distira

Ah wrong channel. Forgot I was in the expedition one. 🙂

[remote thunder]

love distira anyway

[tough sluice]

Yeah, would love to see more people online there.

[remote thunder]

on the weekends maybe there's a bit more traffic

[surreal tulip]

Distira is a beaut

Anyone else finished Aquarius too quickly and now waits for the next one like

I like redux expeditions but found Aquarius so enjoyable, I would have loved for it to be longer

[tough sluice]

Yeah same. I did it in less than a day.

[remote thunder]

aquarius is literally one to kick back and relax ❤️

[tough sluice]

But now I'm collecting resources and prepping for Cursed.

Sounds very different.

[acoustic vortex]

Just bought no man’s sky never played before!!!!!

[surreal tulip]

I am so happy for you, relax and immerse yourself. I wish I could play it for the first time again

[remote thunder]

welcome to the server too!

[acoustic vortex]

Thank you so much!!!!

[surreal tulip]

Just out of curiosity: Do you guys like fishing irl?

Because I was never really interested in it and now am seriously considering going fishing some time

It seems strangely enjoyable

[remote thunder]

aquarius increased my desire to go fishing irl sometime

[remote thunder]

i agree

i'm a patient person for most things -- i love the sound of running water -- fishing might be for me

[wraith junco]

Irl u wait muuuch longer to get a bite

Its a way to chill somewhere outdoors

As any hobby it can get expensive

Entry point is preety low.

[surreal tulip]

same same

[wraith junco]

Some countries can require fishing license. Also good to know things like the minimum size of fishes etc.

[remote thunder]

thanks Asta! 🙂

[surreal tulip]

Yeah I know, I have been fishing twice (:0) and both times it took hours. First time I got a boot, lol

[wraith junco]

[surreal tulip]

Yes, good info!

[surreal tulip]

Yes, biggest catch of me loif

me Toooo!!!!

[bitter anchor]

Nice!

It's one of my favorites

[worthy hatch]

The phase 4 milestone, “The Lunker”, feels impossible. Does anybody know a reliable location for it?

[low jackal]

use bait
and patience

you can also use fish as bait

[worthy hatch]

I meant like, if anybody had latitude and longitude coordinates for spots on the various Angler planets >~<

[low jackal]

doesnt work like that

location is not a factor

you will just have to be patient and keep fishing

water depth might be? Try deeper water I guess

otherwise its just down to luck

[wild adder]

use the phosphorous bait

[polar verge]

This is my first expedition. Does each player ship ended up having different supercharged slot location?

[polar verge]

Is it a normal bug to not get the rewards after completing a milestone?

[remote thunder]

did you also claim the milestone reward?

(to be perfectly clear so, it goes like complete objective(s), pause, Expedition tab, click on completed milestone to claim reward, did you do that?)

[polar verge]

Gotcha

[remote thunder]

anything else just ask

[polar verge]

Thanks!

[worthy hatch]

Phosphorous bait?

Also, it seems to be bugged. I’ve caught three Large fish, but only one is being counted

[remote thunder]

hint is wrong, should say colossal instead of large

only colossal will count

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

@worthy hatch definitely be fishing at depth 50-60u or more

[wild adder]

the red colour one

[wooden isle]

What's the system for the irradiated fish? I know to check the rendevous systems but either the quest doesn't actually recognize a proper system or I'm broken. Help?

[remote thunder]

you're looking for any planet with water with gamma root on resource list

[wooden isle]

thank you kindly! I figured that if I fished those I'd get one. Can't trust these quests sometimes I guess!

[remote thunder]

gentle reminder: has to be uncommon or rarer, and have in description "only caught in irradiated/radioactive waters"

[wooden isle]

this makes sense. So it's those indicator's that satisfy the quest. Thank you for the wealth of knowledge, friend!

Titan worms in water on Xeterr Ikar in the Nehusna system = terrifying

[polar verge]

I accidentally discarded one of the bottled message and didn't read it... Is there any way to retrieve it? :')

[remote thunder]

not important for progression, but i can understand you wanting to read it. have you already saved after deleting it?

eventually, it will probably drop again though i think

[polar verge]

Yeah I already saved it. I thought I have to read it to get one of the milestone?

[polar verge]

Oh okay!! That's good news

[remote thunder]

did the milestone complete though?

[hushed cliff]

check the expedition menu if you got the reward, otherwise keep fishing until you get another one. if the quest is selected then you should get the right one when you fish

[remote thunder]

@polar verge yeah, wasn't sure if you had opened it or not -- if you didn't open it, then it won't have completed. you'll need to fish another

[muted crater]

What should I pack for the expedition? Anything unconventional that wouldn’t normally be brought with?

[polar verge]

Phew, glad to hear that! Thank you guys :D

[remote thunder]

nah, basics will be enough, nothing super specific needed

[unkempt kraken]

@muted crater

No gifs in this channel please

[muted crater]

Thanks

[polar verge]

Trying to catch legendary Angler. I used all 5 bionic lure from a previous milestone but to no avail. Is crafting bionic lures the only way to catch it?

[remote thunder]

🫂 no need for bait for that one - just have the milestone selected, then keep fishing

remember, when it's something related to the expedition lore itself -- "the angler" stuff is - it won't require a bait, just the milestone selected and some patience

[polar verge]

Aaah I see, good to know! Thanks :D

[surreal tulip]

Just make sure to have enough inventory slots free

Fishing can fill it up very quickly

[surreal tulip]

If you are on a tight schedule, just bring a ship with high warp reach and enough essentials (oxygen, ferrite dust, sodium, fuels) so that you can focus on just the missions

Aquarius is the most relaxed expedition and also the shortest

[crisp torrent]

Hey guys, is anyone having an issue warping into 5th rendezvous point? I get stuck loading every time I try warping to the system.

[solemn bane]

I just did it fine but I was offline, maybe try that and/or disabling multiplayer. Or just restarting the game/your computer.

[crisp torrent]

I've tried restarting the game and toggling online/offline. Let me see if I can use a portal, i've been to the system before.

The portal wasn't in the list sadly.

[solemn bane]

That's a pretty weird one. I wouldn't know what to suggest other than the boilerplate stuff like verifying the installed files and reinstalling the game.

[crisp torrent]

I made it in, took like 5+ minutes of loading. Usually it pops in less than 10 seconds.

Really weird.

[solemn bane]

Adding that to my mental checklist when things load slowly. "Go walk the dog."

[worthy hatch]

Heads up; there are cloaked autophage at rendezvous 2

[stray needle]

does the exo skift protect you from the elements?

[ripe summit]

Yeah I but I think it's just very finicky, at least it is for me

[worthy hatch]

Don’t put a nutrient processor on the exo-skiff. The exo-skiff will freak out.

[worthy hatch]

I was about to ask for advice on completing the final milestone, but then I just returned to the fishing spot coordinates and got it on my first attempt

Also, fun fact: If you’re short on tech slots, you can unequip the exoskiff module once you already have the skiff deployed, and reequip it only when it’s time to deploy anothet skiff.

[umbral shell]

I'm also having the same issue. Currently been on the teleport screen for 4min after getting stuck on the warp screen 4 times. 1 after a reload and 1 after a system restart. Nothing changes in the time it took to post this.

Loaded after 6min, how odd.

[sly sedge]

I had a similar issue yesterday when loading the game. It went to that loading screen where it looks like you're moving past all the stars, but stayed there for a few minute before finally loading up. My character was also in the system for the 5th rendezvous point, so maybe something was up with that system.

[polar verge]

I got the legendary angler but from traps. I didn't know it doesn't count as catching, so I haven't completed Myths of the Deep. Do I have to craft bionic lure to complete it?

[frozen laurel]

The bait isn't required. Have the mission selected when you're trying for it.

[polar verge]

Okay, thanks!

Does the angler Lost Angler's rig blueprint transfer over to the main save?

[worthy hatch]

Yes

[polar verge]

Thanks!

Will the fish in my exoskiff be converted into units after I end the expedition?

[cyan pollen]

You dont get the units/nanites/quicksilver earned in a Expedition

[blazing fossil]

Yes you do…

If you start through the terminal any excess resources at the end will be converted into units nanites and QS, that you earn (at least the units and nanites

[polar verge]

Alright, thank you!

[cyan pollen]

I never got them

How long does the expedition take for an average player?

[remote thunder]

3-6h -- additionally, exp15 is a little dependent on rng bless, so it might swing a little more to the slower side of things, but it's fishing, all about chilling and relaxing too.

[hollow fern]

Aaah lovely, yeah I got a busy work schedule so I wanna make sure I can finish it without having to grind too hard

[remote thunder]

you'll be fine 🙂

[tiny gale]

sorry been gone for a while, anythign special i need to bring to the new expedition? besides bait. storm crystals? etc etc

[tough sluice]

I got it done in just under a day of playing off and on. It wasn't long at all. Just a couple of more difficult goals, but nothing too bad.

[hollow fern]

Amazing, its nice to have an easy cozy expedition sometimes

[tiny gale]

who the hell placed these rendevous markers, like why the hell is it on the side of a freaking cliff

and wide open freaking spot, landing area not clear, like get your crap together game

[sick niche]

a landing camera would be nice

[broken yoke]

what do people normally do at the end of an expedition? like is it worth it to keep hanging around after i finish the stuff

this is the first one i’ve ever participated in

[remote thunder]

some players like to hold off on completing/converting/finishing in order to help other players in need, since expedition saves can only play with expedition saves

[broken yoke]

i’ve considered going ship hunting bc i feel like i have vaguely heard in the past that expeditions have cool ships but i also don’t want to go to that effort if i can’t keep them. same with the base i made, don’t want to spend time making it cool just to lose it all

[tiny gale]

what is the best way to haul in somethign that is not a fish

[broken yoke]

i think i just fished until eventually i got boots

maybe don’t use any lures?

[tiny gale]

that worked. ty

[remote thunder]

the starship pool per suitable system is going to be the same both in expedition and non-expedition game modes, unless we're talking about a specific expedition that might possibly change that in some way (e.g. expedition 13 made every single inhabited system be abandoned, but most of those same systems are inhabited in non-expedition

you can copy multiple ships back to primary/main save, but ofc only if you started expedition run from an existing save

[broken yoke]

ahh ok ty!!

[remote thunder]

anything else just ask

[tiny gale]

anyone got an irradiated planet for this fishing part

[remote thunder]

i do like that they are redoing old ones, the last time i tried to do an expedition i just so happened to join 2 days before it ended and didnt wanna rush so i didnt bother. still have the save file and am still in the expedition though lol

it should convert to a normal mode save if you load it

another player killed you (pvp enabled)? the environment did? sorry that happened traveller.

its probably the environment

[remote thunder]

gentle reminder, if you need to afk, at least get in your ship -- if you can't spare another second before leaving

[misty kite]

i am pretty much starting from 0 when it comes to resources i need to actually function.

[sick niche]

reload?

There's usually an autosave and your last manual save... your last manual should be when you got out of your ship

so theoretically you still have all your shit in that one

If it's already overwritten... you should be able to go to where you died and get all your stuff from your grave

[misty kite]

expedition

no reload

i probably died several times

[misty furnace]

Ermm...the initial landing is random so you can use your visor to find to home in...sooo if the landing spot seems bad, just cruise around slowly and look for a building, concentration of players, etc, Then land there instead. Working as intended.

been to rdv2 yet?

remember, any planet with water with solanium on resource list

[slender sinew]

Let Me check
Thankss

[slender sinew]

Thanks @remote thunder

Done with the expedition

Is there a up side to keeping some fished?

Fishes

Like moving them to My main save into an aquarium or something

Kept some rare and legendary fishes

[remote thunder]

just release them for nanites

[slender sinew]

Alright then

[glass latch]

How to complete the "Haul in an object that is not a fish" ? I'm stuck

[remote thunder]

no bait used, just keep fishing till you get something that's not a fish, like sea weed

[glass latch]

thank you mate, I'll keep trying

[rocky kernel]

And make sure you have that mission selected.

[glass latch]

Thanks I just caught an old boot lol

[slender sphinx]

is it difficult to locate an irridiated planet?

[marsh brook]

yes and no

[remote thunder]

rdv4

@slender sphinx remember that you don't need to complete all milestones of a phase in order to move on to milestones of next phases

[slender sphinx]

noted on this one

thanks

[slender sphinx]

im confused, i cant construct an automated trap underwater

i have the materials

[frozen laurel]

It goes on the surface.

[slender sphinx]

how long this thing gonna catch some fish? lol

[frozen laurel]

Not too long, but you can also take the fish from other people's base.

[slender sphinx]

i tried but it didnt count 😦

[frozen laurel]

It should now that you've made one.

[slender sphinx]

I crafted 2 traps im stucked at 4/6

anyone can remember if you encountered some frozen planets on the expedition route?

[somber eagle]

Can you cross play? Send me your coordinates and I'll try to help you out with what I can ..
I'm in USA on Central time and have to go to sleep in about 40-45 minutes

Is the expedition in elysus(sp?) galaxy

[frozen laurel]

You have to be on the expedition to join someone in it. Yes, Euclid.

[somber eagle]

Oh dang

[slender sphinx]

I found one now 😄

thanks tho

[muted crater]

What counts as a “large” fish? Cause I have two but apparently that’s not good enough

[wise meteor]

It should come up as "colossal" when you catch it. Deep water >50u will help.

Also use bait that increase chances of bigger fish. The other fish you caught already can give about a +20-25% if you use them as bait.

[muted crater]

Yeah it wants colossal, but the log entry says large

[wise meteor]

I got mine by landing the ship on water ( you get the water landing gear on an earlier milestone) It was 80u deep. I fished off the roof of the ship using other fish as bait. Took only 10 mins

[muted crater]

Great. I’m on a planet that doesn’t seem to have any deep oceans, not that there’s an easy way to tell, so I dug out a fishing hole for myself that doesn’t even seem to be working. Also feels like I’m being actively punished for using baits lol

[wise meteor]

Might be worth looking for another planet with a decent sea. It was finding the right place to fish that took me the time. many lakes are not deep enough.

If you are really stuck sometimes, at the anomoly, other folks bases are visible and you might find one with something like "deep sea" in the name.

You can then tp to their base and try your luck there

[muted crater]

how though. Does it list deep seas in the discovery catalog? Or do I have to fly to each individual planet and dive into each sea to find out how deep it goes?

[wise meteor]

The folks who build the base have to give it a helpful name. I dont think there is any way, from space, to tell how deep a planets seas are. Unfortunately.

Just make sure "water" is in the description of the system you are going to.

[slender sinew]

I fished in rdv 5 and used bait and other small fishes
Took Me minutes

[slender sinew]

Just logged in
And My exosuit inventory is empty

Oh seems I died(don't know how that happened)

Found the grave marker
Time to start emptying inventory

[muted crater]

Ok, now I can’t seem to find any scorched worlds. Are there specific stars they spawn in? Or have I had some of the worst luck ever?

[muted crater]

Man this has gone on WAY too long I just want to finish this expedition

[wise meteor]

Somewhere in the wiki there is a list of worlds that count as scorched. Several similar terms may be used. There are more than you think, but finding one with water was the tricky part for me

[muted crater]

I’ve been using the wiki, and the log entry basically auto scans the system for me to find viable worlds. 3 hours, and NOTHING AT ALL. And of course since this is an expedition I have to learn all the portal symbols if I want to gate anywhere

I’ll take anything at this point

[wise meteor]

I think I built a base on the hot one I found. Not in game at the moment but will log in and see if I can find it.

[muted crater]

I appreciate it, but I just now found such a world.

I really do appreciate the consideration though

[wise meteor]

Its in "Otpravomo" system if you have no luck, but I just noticed its an "E" class system which needs Emeril drive to get there.

[civic kelp]

guys, how do I find rdv 4 spot?

it keeps pointing me 1500 units in random directions, I'm running circles

[wraith junco]

Coords for all rdv are in pins

[civic kelp]

thanks

where do I see them in-game?

[wraith junco]

Glyphs in photomode. Planetary +- coords while using mt visor or in ship cockpit view

[broken yoke]

i have a base in some deep ass water it is called underwater lair. it’s one of the planets in a system that has a rendezvous point i forget which but i can go check if you still need!

[civic kelp]

got it, thanks

[civic kelp]

RDV 1 or 2 are schorched

3 is icy, 4 irradiated, you don't need to go anywhere

[remote thunder]

rdv2 system, Meoalf-Ohi

always look at rdv systems for suitable planets first; if the one you're in at the time isn't suitable, then most likely one of the next ones will be

in hot water==any planet with water with solanium on resource list

[near bear]

To complete "scales of fire", do you have to use bionic lures? I used all 5 that were rewarded but no legendary fish...

[frozen laurel]

Bait isn't required, but helps improve the rng. You can also use fish as bait.

[near bear]

@frozen laurel thank you. Ill just keep on fishing!

[frozen laurel]

Toot toot

[rocky cosmos]

So, how do Expeditions work? Is it basically just a unique questline in a seperate* save?

[frozen laurel]

!faq-expedition in #bot-spam

[crisp zephyr]

Yes, and u do some stuff from repairing starship to crafting things and exploring

Essentially a nms save but with a todo list and rewards
