nms-expedition

[remote thunder]

see #nms-expedition message ; then add 400 tainted metal, 4 hypnotic eyes, i'd suggest bringing >512 atlantideum

nope, no specific # for exps

@ashen shore 2 more tips:

• there's no hazard protection: there's anomaly suppressor. when anomaly suppressor charge falls below 50%, boundary horrors get aggressive.
• getting in your ship doesnt recharge it, drinking elixir of glass and leaving a planet does.

so almost top priority will be: fix. your. ship. so that you can launch and get to safety, if you run out of mats to craft elixir of glass.

don't mess about too much in the starter planet, stay focused to fix your ship

personal refiner can be obtained prebuilt from fear the sun milestone (delete 1600 cubic u of terrain; use terrain manipulator to dig a hole, get inside it, then switch to flatten mode and goto town)

[ashen shore]

Di hydrogen ok but qualia...

[remote thunder]

frag qualia drops from boundary horrors

they'll be squishy enough just make sure to rearrange your MT inventory

[ocean lance]

Raged at the quads

[rocky kernel]

How did you find the loot for this one? I heard the one for the regular run on the last system was terrible, but I didn't go to that one so couldn't confirm. Any freighter upgrades on that one?

[remote thunder]

to clarify, salvaged frigate module drops aren't guaranteed - iow, we could run the same DF, open the same exact number of crates in it, and get different results. only crates can drop sfm at all, not suitcases or lockers. that said, i'm sorry, i literally did nothing else but speed through to get crew manifest and captains log to get the needed tainted metal, didnt open any crates at all except the one at the beginning

[rocky kernel]

Oh, interesting, more RNG. And no worries, heck I can't even recall what I got from mine, though was pretty sure I got some sort of module from it. LOL

In the main run, not done the redux yet.

[remote thunder]

there's various options to deal with them. to start, i'd suggest getting paralysis mortar and voltaic amplifier from anomaly/MT research npc, install them on your tool. equip para mortar and your preferred primary, shoot para mortar to stun (and to reapply stun if needed), then fire with primary.

they'll pose no threat

[remote thunder]

yeah, currently the only non rng way to get SFM is merchant/explorer guild envoys, and to a lesser degree, mission boards

[ocean lance]

@remote thunder ahh i did not realize it could be that easy thank you.

[blissful gust]

Why is this expedition so dark? (like literally, half the time I can't see anything but a few vague outlines of anomalous creatures)

[remote thunder]

para mortar is so good for survivability/crowd control

[ocean lance]

Is that newer?

[rocky kernel]

For me it was the neutron cannon, though I think it didn't help much later in the game for the... spoiler not included. LOL

[remote thunder]

hmm, i.. not sure, i haven't really noticed

[rocky kernel]

Maybe they have their one hazard low and it's dark. Or on the dark side of a planet and/or bad weather.

[remote thunder]

could it be the purple "hazard" overlay

[blissful gust]

I'm still on the first planet, had to stop, because I couldn't see anything

[rocky kernel]

Yeah, and learned recently you can turn it down as well. At least I think that's the overlay you're talking about.

[blissful gust]

Not sure if I can change that on Xbox

[remote thunder]

yeah, starter planet is megaexotic, and it does get somewhat extreme at night time -- to be clear, this is with 130% hazard overlay

[remote thunder]

should be able to, yes

check options/accessbility

[remote thunder]

yep, it was that yeah

[blissful gust]

I'm sure the blinding snow from the windows on either side of the TV don't help

[rocky kernel]

LOL Probably not.

[remote thunder]

time to finish this up

hmm

seems that i'm going to need to unlock personal ref mk2

[ocean lance]

Got in my ship to go the anomaly and noticed a quad so I shot it with the rocket launcher one shot. My wanted level was high so I shot the ships that came after. Landed another quad was at my feet so I hopped back in and shot that one too. Lmao

[sharp basin]

if you dont shoot the replicator droid you can get an endless stream of them

[ocean lance]

Well that kinda makes sense

[remote thunder]

yeah, lol, that was going to be another suggestion

[remote thunder]

so you'd shoot the quad, land+exit ship+reload restore point, and kill another

[ocean lance]

Oh that's even better

[remote thunder]

bit cheesy, but works

[summer nest]

No di-hydrogen lovely

[remote thunder]

2 jellies in ship and 1 repair kit

oh nvm - maybe need it for something else

[summer nest]

Just started and accidentally ate the elixer. Now stuck with a broken ship and boundary shield almost gone

[remote thunder]

check ship inventory

do fear of the sun for personal refiner

[summer nest]

Took dogs out instead gonna start over

[remote thunder]

was about to ping

[woven shadow]

I forgot about this. Is it the Mk2 refiner?

Because if so it will make getting mordite a lot easier

[remote thunder]

Nah, mk1

[woven shadow]

Oh.

Well, I guess I could still use that

I can get a Mk2 refiner in the anomaly…if I figure out how to get to another system so I can summon it.

[bleak bronze]

Did they remove the setting for third person perspective for the expedition?

[remote thunder]

follow milestones phase 1

[remote thunder]

still there, quick menu/utilities/scroll right, camera

[bleak bronze]

Quick menu?

[remote thunder]

X or dpad down

[bleak bronze]

OHH, thanks. Fixed it.

[woven shadow]

I gotta get some mordite which is proving unexpectedly difficult

[remote thunder]

suggestion: get some nav data, goto station, get a few commercial charts, save, pop a chart till you get a trade outpost marker, if you didn't reload and reuse charts

[dapper pumice]

whats the current mission?

is it still liquidator?

[leaden ember]

Which planet did you fish in to get that fish?

[remote thunder]

Idwo Omega planet

[leaden ember]

..... Great I've been on the wrong planet this whole time, thanks this probably just saved me like an hour at least

[remote thunder]

no need for any kind of bait, just remember that only fish with "haunted worlds" in description will count

[wanton delta]

Expedition redux YEEEEEEEEE!

[bleak bronze]

Quicksilver Elixir. Does this have to be done on a planets surface?

[remote thunder]

No, I've used it plenty of times in space

[bleak bronze]

Does it just give a coordinate?

[remote thunder]

Yep, direct marker to portal in system

[bleak bronze]

Thanks!

[woven shadow]

Woooo space anomaly

[remote thunder]

and i'm done

[woven shadow]

Whew I have been playing inventory musical chairs to get my stored equipment and enough nanites to copy my ship and multi-tool

I’m glad I saved a bunch of exo-suit expansion modules and brought them over.

[remote thunder]

i'm not a hoarder

i dump most stuff i pick up

in expedition anyway

bones? only kept 2

the rest i dumped them all lol

[woven shadow]

Well I got most of the exo-suit expansion modules from guild missions and stuff and then brought them into my Expedition

I gotta copy over my ship and multitool and reorganize my inventory….

[fair relic]

Damn this expedition is trippy

I'm going to hate this one

[remote thunder]

remember, the less charge anomaly suppressor has, the worse it gets

[fair relic]

I figured that out the hard way

[worthy hatch]

Heads-up: For harvesting storm crystals, suit up in a minotaur. (You’ll need to buy the blueprints from the Space Anomaly if you have access to it.) The wind won’t be able to pick you up.

[woven shadow]

I got all my things together but then the game crashed….

[leaden ember]

How do I do serenity reclaimed?

[bleak bronze]

I FREAKING HATE this heat planet. The second time ived died with my ship getting caught in the trees you cant escape

[leaden ember]

Been there before

Glad that you just have to fly near your grave to get your stuff back

[fair relic]

@worthy hatch WHAT WIND!!!

[leaden ember]

Anyone know which panet is the disonant planet for the 4th phase of the expidition?

[bleak bronze]

Is this just for selling?

[frozen laurel]

You can sell them anywhere. Or they can be exchanged at an Archives for another one that may be worth more, which you then go an sell.

[bleak bronze]

Archive?

[frozen laurel]

A type of commercial building. not required.

[ashen shore]

I didn't have the materials needed before starting on the expedition. Did it matter or no?

[worthy hatch]

The materials are just to assist you

They are not required

[ashen shore]

Uhh silly question incoming

What's easiest way to be making the spicy chum...?

I'm asking specifically about how to easily get the phosphorous

I've been jumping between space stations and just can't find one selling it

[worthy hatch]

Phosphorous used to be commonplace on scorched planets, in every little mineral.

If you have a medium refiner or a Mk 2 personal refiner, you can try these:

• 2x Dioxite + 1x Ferrite Dust = 1x Phosphorus
• 2x Doxite + 1x Pure Ferrite = 1x Phosphorus
• 2x Solanium + 1x Salt = 1x Phosphorus

[leaden ember]

Which planet do I go to to get Atlantium for the phase 4 quest one? I just don't know which planet to go to so I need some help

[dawn nimbus]

Is it the squiddy expedition redux now?

[leaden ember]

Yep

[rocky kernel]

Second pin has what you need

[leaden ember]

thanks

[ashen shore]

Ok uh how to stop them these boundary thingies

They are spawning all over the place and going absolutely crazy lol I don't need this rn 😱

The players around me aren't surviving much better atm this is annoying where are these boundary things coming from

[leaden ember]

Where do I easily get Tainted metal? Or is derelict flietghers the only way?

[leaden ember]

Drink elixir of glass

well craft it first but then consume it

[frozen laurel]

You have to recharge the hazard protection. Getting into space works, someone's base will have a boundary suppressor you can activate, or th elixir.

[storm fiber]

Where can I find anonymous fish? I cannot find the fishing site.

[ashen shore]

Thanks all

[leaden ember]

Why are the derelict frieghter missions actually unerving, never done one of these before but I'm surprised people call these boring, I''m scared knowing any moment these pulsating flesh hearts will burst open with aliens, horor movie type stuff imo

Note: Just turned off my flashlight and turned into first person mode, still scary if not more

[long bone]

its kinda boring because theres no real variations

and its no Deadspace atmosphere lol

[leaden ember]

Not if you don't try to make your own variations, but after doing that I can see how it might get boring

[long bone]

dont get me wrong: i like the idea of it, its cool asf

but i feel like its been undercooked

[leaden ember]

Fair and I can;t really say anything otherwise because this is my first time doing it and yo've done this tons

Or I assume you have

they add a second update to this

[ashen shore]

I can't find any abyssal horrors at all 😅

[frozen laurel]

There's a bunch of building parts that can only be learned inside them

[ashen shore]

Have flown around to different islands but none

[long bone]

definitely keep doing it if you enjoy it: theres good useful rewards there!

[leaden ember]

I wonder if there's mods for different varioutons of these wonder if people who've played these normal ones a bunch would like it, 🤔

Ofc this is as scary as I go, can't handle it Idk why

[leaden ember]

One person told me planet to go to, let me find it for you

[molten turtle]

Anyone know if the 2024 expeditions will come back at some point? I've done them all besides Aquarius, and just realized it ended yesterday

[leaden ember]

Oh I turns out someone didnt tell me nvm, you haven't seen any of the "specualting speciemen" in red on your visual scanner before? I know one of the planets there has them because I found one almost screamed because I ddint know what it was, forget the planet though, sorry. have you checked https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/471868642204712971 ?

[solemn kiln]

any tips on getting mordite? no animals around 😄

also no luck with buying

[ashen shore]

Ok, I keep dying due to storms

But cannot collect storm crystals in time

This is the 3rd time...any suggestions?

[storm fiber]

you can get mordite from a mordite plant as well

[solemn kiln]

do I need hazmat glove?

[storm fiber]

Idk, I think so

[snow ruin]

Nobody really knows. It may or it may not. I consider it slightly more likely that they will come back at some point, since some older expeditions have had reduxes recently

[snow ruin]

If you manage to get them in a "plant dome" the center console will allow you to harvest plants that normally require Hazmat Gloves without them.
You can also refine faecium into mordite, IIRC

[snow ruin]

Dig your way towards the storm crystals most of the way, that way you'll stay out of the storm for the most part.
Try to buy some exosuit upgrades to allow you more time in harsh weather conditions, especially good would be the x-class ones, IMO.
Not sure if some of those are rewards for other milestones

[ashen shore]

Thanks, I somehow got it 🤦‍♀️ this expedition is really giving me headaches rn

[solemn kiln]

Ahhhhh cool cool, will try the dome. Ty

[white perch]

I apologize if this is a basic question, but I have found two Sential ships and wanted to know if I can carry both of them into my main game. (from expedition to main save)

[snow ruin]

Drink enough water

[white perch]

Does anyone know how? I know there is the nanite carry forward but i thought it was only for one ship the current

for 20k per ship copy

[snow ruin]

You can, at any time, go back to your main save and copy the currently equipped ship to the main save. Going back to the main save is through the options menu

[ashen shore]

It's not really the water...it's being attacked by the worms, sentinels and horrors at the same time. And the hostile animals too 🤦‍♀️

I feel completely stuck

[snow ruin]

No, I mean, drinking water is good to help avoid headaches ;P
EDIT: as in real life drinking water

[white perch]

I always carry stacks of taht delicious "water" to get away from the horrors

at least 6 per planet exploration trip

[snow ruin]

Pretty sure it's not 20k nanites per ship copy. Should be closer to 2.8k, IIRC

[white perch]

ah lol- my apologies, I feel I went a bit too high on that one

It is weird that Sential ships come default with hyperdrive technology, but you cannot even acquire Hyperdrive technology in the Space Anomaly

[snow ruin]

I haven't done this expedition yet, so I haven't internalized that there's some "water" in the game itself that's important to drink

[white perch]

(Elixir of Glass) will be your friend, and you get it relatively early in the expedition

[snow ruin]

[surreal mantle]

Ehh... where do I find Hungering Tendrils? Because I'm at Rendevouz 5 and none of the systems have em😕

[white perch]

I found a planet with a Vile Worm, and I forgot to place a computer base

I think those tend to have them

[random zenith]

should be in the second pinned post

[snow ruin]

This channel has probably the best pins of any channel I've seen. Use them

[white perch]

This channel has one of the best communities I have seen. ❤️ Def helped me in a few tight spots

[surreal mantle]

You sir, are a legend

[white perch]

According to a system that has been partially discovered, if I discover the last remaining planet of that system does the expedition think I have discovered the entire system or just that one planet?

[main drift]

Hi guys how many slots does boundary herald ss have?

[ashen shore]

So in a freighter derelict where are the security credentials?

I have read all the things throughout the ship and can't find them...?

[atomic estuary]

Then you must have missed one, one of the log snippets will have them, but if you really can't find it then I would just go to a different system and get another derelict

[ashen shore]

Ok thanks...so there's always one somewhere 🤔

[atomic estuary]

Maximum 60 tech and 100 cargo (it's explorer type ship)

I don't remember number of starting slots, but it matters little as new slots can be added

[atomic estuary]

Just one planet

[white perch]

Thank you

[ashen shore]

Thanks, got it

[ashen shore]

There was this player where the end of the expedition is and he was just chewing thru enemies it was pretty crazy 👀

Hey I have a question, can I take the multitool back with me after completing the expedition? It has a really nice bonus slot configuration

[snow ruin]

You can copy it out of the expedition, yes.
If you want to you can go back to your main save through the options menu at any time to copy it, which is nice if you have several MTs you want to copy over

[devout echo]

Summoning the Anomaly for the first time in Cursed ... what are the pre-reqs to get the anomaly to appear?

[pearl osprey]

For each expedition you must at least have left the first system, I didn't check this time but I imagine it must be the same thing

[glossy tiger]

Hello Guys some one Help me please i can't fish these anomalus fishes or whatever HELP

[blazing fossil]

What exactly is it that you can't do?

[pearl osprey]

In the solar system there is a jade planet thingy, go there and fish until it's good. You may fish for a while

[glossy tiger]

well i have been fishing for 2-3 hours with everything i could put on

i always getting fish but not anomlus

[blazing fossil]

Are you on an anomalous planet?

Have you pinned the milestone

[glossy tiger]

Edwend III

[blazing fossil]

That doesn't mean shit to me

What's the planet type?

[pearl osprey]

Do you use bait?

[glossy tiger]

yeah i have used meal worms rancid flesh and everything i can find fished wich i have caught

thats where i been fishing

there is foaming planet ,doomed jade ,forsaken and Xeno colony these are the planet types @blazing fossil

[blazing fossil]

That planet is lush not weird

no wonder you're not finding any anomalous fish

There aren't any

[pearl osprey]

This is not the planet anomaly jade

[blazing fossil]

Try going to the doomed jade planet and see if it has water

Pin the milestone and it will let you know in the bottom right tooltip thing if you're on the right planet

[glossy tiger]

yeah it is pinned then ill try those doomed jades

Okay i got them

Ty

[polar verge]

I'm planning to group with my partner for this expedition. When I have to defeat a certain number of enemies to reach a milestone, do I need to get the last hit?

Or is it much preferable to not do co-op for this expedition?

[unkempt roost]

Take turns maybe? When hazard shield gets lower they spawn faster

[grim spruce]

How do i know a planet is infested? I cant see anything on the scan

[low jackal]

https://i.imgur.com/TUQkPrf.jpg

see purple infested subtype names

[glossy tiger]

umm guys i do have another question i been doing this scan exotic lifeforms

but there is only 1 planet with exotic life form and there is only 1 creatue on it i checked all the others

[remote thunder]

there will be another exotic fauna in the last system

@glossy tiger ^

move on, dont have to complete genetic glitch to complete breach 4

[long bone]

dont forget to upload the discovery since it's considered as "planet creatures fully discovered" upon scanning it, which means a cool chunk of nanites!

[remote thunder]

250 * total nr of species on planet

[glossy tiger]

Okay Ty i thouht i have to do them by order to make it throu the portal

[remote thunder]

there will be milestones that can't be done before the relevant phase's breach, but there's also some that can

e.g. can't do the breach milestone if you havent yet learned the bp for the right blood elixir for that phase

[grim spruce]

What do i need to do in phase 3 4th mission?
Become calm?

[remote thunder]

goto a planet, night side, look straight up at the sky for 60s, cannot be storming

[grim spruce]

Ok lol

[remote thunder]

remember to have anomaly sup at 100%

if it's below 80-75%, you may not have time

[calm flax]

@remote thunder Turns out I got the economy scanner at the secnd crashed ship like I was suppose to. I also bought enough faecium at a trading post from pilots that I didn't have to kill any animals. So far I've checked quite a few trading post, minor settlements, and the space station and haven't found any pugneum. I can normally buy it. Maybe they did it on purpose.

[remote thunder]

i think i did see pugneum for sale somewhere - hmm, i'd try vykeen pilots

[calm flax]

Thanks. I'll check again.

I'm the opposite of a speed run on these expeditions so it always takes me a long time. So far I haven't found a decent looking ship in the system and I dislike leaving the system in an ugly ship.

[remote thunder]

still plenty of time left 🙂

[calm flax]

I did the last expedition 4 times. I also dislike this expedition so I'll only do it twice.

[remote thunder]

as long as you're having fun - 2nd run will for sure be smoother

[calm flax]

usually is.

[finite rover]

does the current expedition put out much quicksilver?

sadness.

[remote thunder]

tomorrow's weekend so there's that

[finite rover]

there is indeed.

I think the expedition 2 expeditions was fantastic for QS. Picked up over 40k. :)

[remote thunder]

[finite rover]

did it 4 times + weekends. so totally worth it.

[thorny cradle]

helloo
i’ve overread something recently where some players were talking about, we should do this expedition with a fresh save..

why tho?

[rocky kernel]

No idea, first one I did new save but didn't need to but was handy because I used that one as my new main save since it was way ahead of my main. I've been doing them all with my main save after that with no issues.

I think someone said something about expeditions in the past had a bug where they lost something in their save but I have not hit that in the ones over the last 6 or so months.

[remote thunder]

i believe the reason for that would be in the case of having a bad spawn position (e.g. underwater), but ime there's always a way out

[rocky kernel]

You could scout out the spawn point on a new save first. I think it changes every 15 minutes or something like that, right?

Assuming it's on the 15 minute mark exactly past the hour I suppose

I think the speed runners I watch mentioned it

[remote thunder]

ah that i don't know about sorry

actually, i thought it was just seed based or something

derelict freighter of starter system is actually pretty easy as well and there's only 2 floors, comparing to the one in the pins (which has 3 floors, all going down though at least there's that)

[calm flax]

Thanks I still don't know everything that can the upgrades have. I did find pugneum for sale at a minor settlement on Vira XIV at +11.15 +124.27.

I'm still looking for the last creature. the rare underground of course.

[remote thunder]

i got some mordite from fish as well

[calm flax]

I've found faecum from the damaged machinery also

[rocky kernel]

What system is that settlement? You need pugneum for first elixir

[calm flax]

the starter system

[remote thunder]

(you might have missed it, alt: c-class boltcaster modules drop pug and 1 loom when dismantled)

[keen zephyr]

i always forget to dismantle those

[calm flax]

@remote thunder finally. It only took me as long as the entire expedition should have taken but, I finally found the last creature. A praying mantis.

[formal smelt]

Any tips for doing the new expedition? Will be my first

[remote thunder]

definitely start by making yourself familiar with the pinned posts in here: there's posts with general tips, info, but also with info more specific to exp16 redux

in exp16:

• there's no hazard protection: there's anomaly suppressor. when anomaly suppressor charge falls below 50%, boundary horrors get aggressive.
• getting in your ship doesnt recharge it, drinking elixir of glass and leaving a planet does.

would recommend keeping options/network/multiplayer disabled

always feel free to ask should you get any questions/feeling stuck

[woven shadow]

Oh boy. Killing evil glass jellyfish for qualia is much easier now that I have my main save multitool/staff

It looks like a lot of the Expedition milestones are for things I can do while just wandering around so I am going to focus on getting material for hazard protection.

[unkempt roost]

What do you do with bones beside selling?

[remote thunder]

basically just for selling; the only other alternative, for some bones (fossils only though), is to trade them at planetary archive exchange vaults, for an item of the same or higher rarity, but not always of higher value

[tough sluice]

Oof, this is a tougher one for your first one.

I mean it's not HARD hard, but it's not Aquarius 🙂

[calm flax]

@remote thunder the first time I did this expedition I installed the hazard protection the game didn't install and all I had to do was keep it topped off and didn't have to charge the anomaly suppressor. I plan on trying that again if I can get the hazard protection at the anomaly.

[calm flax]

I like to look around at places like minor settlements for cheap multitool pistols for the tech. I got the pulse spitter that way. I've found a lot of good weapons and upgrades that way. Even things like the optical drill

[fickle prawn]

Does this expedition give that cool ship?

[remote thunder]

i.e. boundary herald? yes

[fickle prawn]

Sweet that’s what I wanted

See Pins in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam

[fickle prawn]

So you just have to do a bunch of quests and get a ton of stuff?

[remote thunder]

basically, yeah

[woven shadow]

That’s good to know! But I’ve already copied over my main save multitool.

[fickle prawn]

Ah ok

[remote thunder]

expedition is split up into multiple phases, each phase has missions (aka milestones) to do, they don't have to always be done in that specific order

[woven shadow]

Now, maybe settlements and trade outposts will let me buy some of the materials I need for different environmental protection mods

[fickle prawn]

Ah ok makes sense

[woven shadow]

I’ve already done half a dozen of milestones in later phases by accident more or less.

[fickle prawn]

Can I bring my ship and stuff into the expedition or I just start completely new?

[remote thunder]

if you start expedition run from an existing save, you will be given the opportunity to place items into a shared stash, accessible in expedition once you get access to the anomaly there (which doesn't happen in the usual, quest related way) - once there you'll also have the ability to copy ship and MT you had equipped in primary save when you started.

that said, in practice, your expedition character start is a new character

[fickle prawn]

Should I just start new or do this then?

Cause I’ll get everything back if I don’t anyways right?

[remote thunder]

starting from new or existing is simply a matter of
a) "i don't need any help from items/ship/MT from primary save, everything i need will be provided and/or obtained in expedition itself"
or
b) "i'm not that confident, i want to bring basic resources/gear in so that i don't have to farm so much after i get out of the starter system"

either option is still going to have you do the "early game survival stuff"

fix ship, get off planet etc

[fickle prawn]

I think I’ll start new then, would be more fun

[remote thunder]

starting from existing means that in the end, you get to merge most expedition progress (units, nanites, quicksilver, etc) back into primary

[fickle prawn]

Yeah I want to do that just because I don’t want to lose my main save

[remote thunder]

we can have 15 saves side by side

you'd never lose your main save

[fickle prawn]

I mean like I want what I get from the expedition on my main

[calm flax]

Unless it disappears like my 800 hour save disappeared.

[remote thunder]

you mean the phase and final rewards? like the boundary herald ship, the translucent spawn companion egg, etc?

[fickle prawn]

Yeah all that

[silk rain]

id like to get one of the butterflies on the first planet of the expedition as a pet for my main save

[remote thunder]

all phase and final expedition rewards are unlocked account wide, which means that after being unlocked, they can be claimed once per save, any save under the same account. even if you started from existing save, your primary and your expedition run are still considered different saves

[silk rain]

how can i get back to that system since the portals don't work I can't "save it

[fickle prawn]

Oh cool

[remote thunder]

did you start from existing save or new save?

[fickle prawn]

If I start from existing save that just means my main save not a new save right?

[silk rain]

and idk why but I don't seem to have a computer to build a base

[silk rain]

yes

[remote thunder]

yes. see for yourself: goto anomaly, interact with expedition terminus, read what it says there without doing anything

[remote thunder]

did you complete and claim beyond the boundary milestone from phase 1=

[fickle prawn]

Ok, I’m probably going to start the expedition today, but if I run out of time will it disappear or can I still get the stuff?

[silk rain]

i might, I'll check

[remote thunder]

you've got 13 days to finish, it can be done in a few hours. no, if it ends, you can't progress it anymore

[fickle prawn]

Ok

I’m going to start without any help from my main save and just have fun

[remote thunder]

then yeah, you'd go main menu/play game/new game/expedition16 lower right

[silk rain]

yeah or you could carry over some materials to avoid some of the farming

[silk rain]

nah why, it's still better to start from the main save and just not bring anything

[remote thunder]

why?

depends.

my main save has thousands of hours in it, there's nothing i truly need from any expedition

[silk rain]

to carry some stuff back at the end?

[fickle prawn]

Ok

[silk rain]

yeah exactly... yours

[fickle prawn]

Well thanks for the help

[silk rain]

I believe most of normal people don't have thousands of hours on the game

[remote thunder]

i understand what you meant ofc, but pretty much anything you bring over from expedition can be obtained in non-expedition, save a few things which aren't mandatory anyway. if a save has everything it needs to 1) make units and nanites, 2) has upgraded and decent gear -- then i'd say that one doesn't actually gain much from starting from existing save if not to bring stuff/gear in

even a save much less than "thousands of hours" has those two

if a primary save is still progressing, still needs some.. help so to speak, then yeah, merging stuff at the end might be a little useful, but it really depends on what exactly is the player considering on bringing back

like, for example, in exp16: elixir of quicksilver, can bring back a bunch of those. but really, how many portals do you need to find? and how often?

truth is.. most players bookmark a portal, have no problems using any of the non-elixir of quicksilver methods to find one, and most players dont portal not even half as often as they had to in exp16

so yeah, i agree that it's a neat thing - elixir of quicksilver i mean- to have in a main save, but it will eventually run out of them, unless the player dupes them somehow

also, really not trying to change minds or anything, just discussing things

sorry if it came out sounding otherwise or something

[silk rain]

nah it's ok, I meant less specific things but definitely for someone new but not even that new it could be useful to bring back tech, nanites and basic resources

[livid drift]

Ack! I was out of commission yesterday and forgot that Cursed redux started. exciting

Still have some things to prep in main save/other things before I can start but ooooo

[livid drift]

What sort of planet is the starting planet? for some reason, last expedition I kept running low on carbon and dihydrogen so I'd like to prepare (maybe I got lazy on mining, I don't know)

[remote thunder]

starter planet is a megaexotic - remember that you'll only get access to anomaly and resources brought in after you leave the starter system

this post #nms-expedition message , and bringing 400 tainted metal+512 atlantideum+4 hypnotic eyes should have you rolling smooth after you get that access

see this post #nms-expedition message for tips on some milestones completion

more tips:

• terrain manipulator delete then flatten -- fear the sun needs 1600 cubic u of dirt for insta personal refiner unlock
• when it comes to elixirs: have multiplayer disabled, gather the mats for them, but craft them, use them when told to by the milestone hint
• there's no hazard protection: there's anomaly suppressor. when anomaly suppressor charge falls below 50%, boundary horrors get aggressive.
• getting in your ship doesnt recharge anomaly suppressor, drinking elixir of glass and leaving a planet does.

[livid drift]

I don't have tainted metal but I do have some atlantideum...

[remote thunder]

tainted metal can be obtained in expedition by running a derelict freighter mission and turning in crew manifest+captains log to scrap dealer

[livid drift]

Where do hypnotic eyes come from as well? I'm used to them just kind of. showing up in expeditions

[remote thunder]

primarily, non-rng source are abyssal horrors (stationary; damage their eye). that said there's other sources like mission boards, sus packets goods, some outlaw station contraband agents, even from derelict freighter runs (crates)

[grim spruce]

Im in layant xi system rn, anyone know any exotic planets?

[remote thunder]

check this post #nms-expedition message

remember that you're not forced to complete genetic glitch before completing breach milestone of that phase

[grim spruce]

I saw that post, but im not sure what it means

[livid drift]

oogh. I'm having trouble containing the info X_X

[remote thunder]

planets with gold on resource list is what you're looking for; all the mentioned planets in the mentioned systems are such planets

e.g.

[grim spruce]

I thought of that cuz gold is purple but when i landed it said leave planet and find an exotic planet 🤪

[remote thunder]

yuanbai is the system you get to after completing breach 5

[viral depot]

Hey guys I'm back

Sorry about how I left

I was really stressed and dealing with some things

Your advice was very helpful

Anyway

[grim spruce]

@remote thunder

[remote thunder]

that works too

[grim spruce]

Hm ill try again

[viral depot]

What type of corrupted quadruped do I need to kill in phase 4?

Because there's the small one and the big one

[remote thunder]

yep, this one, forgot i had it here

need to add it

sorry

and thanks

[livid drift]

I think I might just have to wing this, I can't keep track of what I want to bring over for some reason

[unkempt roost]

the dissontant part of the milestone gives me opportunity to replace my starting ship

[remote thunder]

i even posted coords for an harmonic camp/crashed sentinel ship site

[remote thunder]

make a postit

[unkempt roost]

yes ty, think it was your base that i found

[ornate basin]

Hey what expedition is on now?

[remote thunder]

16, last redux of 2024

[ornate basin]

thanks

[bleak bronze]

For the bones we have to gather, once done, can we sell them or are they needed?

[remote thunder]

sell them; also, you don't have to hold on to the 10 bones at the same time: can dump after you loot if you need the space

[bleak bronze]

TY

[viral depot]

Figured it out

It's the big ones

[unkempt kraken]

<:info:850810445577453658> Expedition 16: Tips to find and destroy Corrupted Quadrupeds

Tips for finding them:

• 1) Try to locate Dissonance Resonators - some of them will be guarded by large quadrupeds.
• 2) Alternatively, you can start a fight by just looting a Gravitino Ball, and escalate wanted level to level 3, when large quadrupeds can spawn.

Tips for taking them out:

• 1) Install Paralysis Mortar+Primary weapon of choice(+3 S-class upgrades). Locate and approach a corrupted quadruped. If there's any floaters around kite them away first (mine something nearby so that they'll go investigate, leaving you alone with the quadruped). Shoot Paralysis Mortar at quadruped to stun it, re-applying stun as needed, while shooting primary weapon.
  Bonus: Unlock and install Voltaic Amplifier from Space Anomaly/Multi-tool research NPC for +21% damage vs stunned entities.
• 2) Use Minotaur+Minotaur Cannon.
• 3) From the air, especially if your current ship has hovering capabilities, for example using Rocket Launcher.

Im on the horrors achievement now. Does the planet say if its infested or best to assume that they already are?

[vital vine]

it should say vile brood detected

[bleak bronze]

In the planet description? Im currently in space and can see all 4 planets aligned

[livid drift]

to my own shock, I actually had more than 512 atlantideum...

[vital vine]

yes it should be in the description

[bleak bronze]

Weird, all 5 of the planets do not say it

[remote thunder]

not vile brood - infested subtype e.g. xeno-colony @bleak bronze (remember to check pinned posts for possible info/tips on the milestone you're working towrds #nms-expedition message )

and this is for the Endless Hunger milestone

[bleak bronze]

Thanks

[livid drift]

waking up in the water is different...

[rocky kernel]

Oh no! So there is a spawn point in the water again. 😱 Was the worst and hope I don't get it again.

[remote thunder]

remember, personal refiner from fear the sun milestone, can be done almost immediately

look at your ship inventory and installed tech on suit and ship and multitool

[livid drift]

This is... different. I'm intrigued but also AAAA XD

[remote thunder]

dismantling stuff you don't absolutely need can get you out

don't hang around get moving or pause

you don't want to waste that 100% charge on anomaly suppressor

[livid drift]

am pausing but I did stop to take a snapshot of wonky stuff because whoooooa

[remote thunder]

yeah

[livid drift]

boundary tourism

[remote thunder]

it's awesome

[rocky kernel]

At least getting in the ship pauses it so getting to the ship quick helps with the anomaly suppresor charge even though it doesn't recharge it.

[livid drift]

It's very different but I'm quite intrigued

[rocky kernel]

I died sooooo many times. 😂

Mainly cause you swim so slow and so it took a while to even get to my ship, then even more swimming to get some mats, but I forgot about breaking things down.

[livid drift]

yeah uh. the slow swimming is killing me a little

anomaly suppressor powered by glass... all I can think of is when Apollo the grey parrot says "GLASSK"

[remote thunder]

hehe

i love this expedition so much.

anyway

just watching you go on about it

is making me smile and think back on some of my own moments, it's awesome

[livid drift]

ooooh explorer ship

[remote thunder]

no hyperdrive

welcome to exp16

[livid drift]

🤷 we can... fix that...

[remote thunder]

you won't learn how to craft hyperdrive in exp16

you'll see

[livid drift]

watch the sprouts flail around XD

[remote thunder]

when it comes to elixirs: have multiplayer disabled, gather the mats for them, but craft them, use them when told to by the milestone hint
^

[livid drift]

so anomaly suppressor doesn't recharge but does stay stable in the ship, right?

[remote thunder]

right

note: 50% charge or less, the only place they wont go after you on a planet is underwater -- ofc can't stay underwater forever

[livid drift]

Ayup, multiplayer is off

dang, if I knew we needed GLASSK I would have sent a heap of silicate or whatever it is over

[remote thunder]

not that kind of glass

get your ship up and running, make use of that repair kit and jellies (use 1 for repair, refine the other one)

[livid drift]

oh. hmm.

I'll do that after touching purple this first milestone in the building

[remote thunder]

yeah

definitely

remember - you want to walk/run not melee jetpack - 1) there's a milestone for distance walked/run, not jetpack'd 2) jetpacking uses more life support

[livid drift]

in before we get some kind of weird SHROCK too (brain is full of birds, mostly just Apollo the african grey)

I did jetpack through the water...

otherwise, RUNNING

[remote thunder]

no worries

when you got to, you got to

but when you can definitely avoid it, don't melee jetpack out of habit

[livid drift]

actually, I think the touching purple... is more literal than I expected...

[remote thunder]

the more LS you spend, the more time you'll spend searching for o2/plants to recharge

[livid drift]

I don't melee jetpack anyway, I maybe should figure that out sometime

[remote thunder]

oh - it will change your life.

don't know yet how to do it?

start running in the direction you want to jetpack in, melee, as the weapon animates, press & hold jetpack

[livid drift]

Not quite but I think also, I haven't had occasion to

Q is melee?

[remote thunder]

yeah; you'll keep the running momentum going forward

[livid drift]

on PC

[remote thunder]

yep

[livid drift]

hmmmmm interesting

[median sparrow]

It's eats Jetpack power though.

[livid drift]

so like. slap down a quick Q+space and see what happens. will give it a shot when I get back to main

[median sparrow]

At least it does for me.

It's definitely life changing lol. I used to just walk everywhere all the time.

[livid drift]

I have some decent jetpack stuff that I pulled back from Adrift redux, I think

I also generally don't like to go super super fast unless I need to, I pay too much attention to what's around me XD

[median sparrow]

It's a good burst

But it drains so fast.

It does wonders on low gravity planets though.

[livid drift]

I need to investigate more planets, I tend to kind of scour the same-ish systems

...why is my first thought "shot glass"

Maybe I need more coffee XD (and there's the PURPLE again)

[remote thunder]

purpleeee

[livid drift]

no victory jingle on milestone completion... ooooo

me remembering that corrupt sentinels have been purple. I've been touching purple all along. oh gosh.

[remote thunder]

remember, personal refiner, dig a tunnel, get in there, switch to flatten goto town till you get fear the sun

[grim spruce]

Is it possible to get the eyes without a sub?

[remote thunder]

sure

i did, all 4

[grim spruce]

Ok

[livid drift]

I'll do that when I quit lollygagging and muttering bird memes

[remote thunder]

get in the water, use target sweep

[unkempt roost]

i got my eyes from running a derelict freighter

[remote thunder]

yep, that usually works - but it is rng based

might not get all 4 from the same run (in one of the runs in exp16 original release, i did just that, managed to get all 4 from DF crates)

[livid drift]

should I use that repair kit on the launch thrusters first?

[remote thunder]

look at the mats each of the subcomponents needs: what's the one that's going to make you farm more mats, or even maybe force you to make use of a refiner?

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Inventory Management - Using Repair Kits

Repair Kit can be obtained from multiple sources (e.g. Contraband Agent npc in Outlaw stations, Mission Boards, Scrap Dealer, Autophage Synthesis terminals), and is applied to damaged sub-components.

1. Cursor over the damaged tech or slot, and press Repair
2. Cursor over the damaged sub-component and press Apply Repair Kit.
   

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[livid drift]

good point

[civic kelp]

you could. I didn't, but you need one of the other milestones to get refiner and refine carbon. easy, but unnecessary

[livid drift]

I'm in an odd spot where there's no dihydrogen to be found...

oh right

[remote thunder]

jelly in ship inventory

if there's 2, refine 1

[civic kelp]

I think it's for digging 1,6k units underground. as bk201 suggested, just "flatten" the earth, done in 4 seconds

[livid drift]

time to DIG

yeah uh, gotta do that first

slowly I'll load my brain into order

[remote thunder]

dig a tunnel, get in there, switch to flatten mode, goto town

[livid drift]

is it better to drink the elixirs, or should we put them in the anomaly suppressor?

[remote thunder]

then recharge terrain manip and dump the silicate powder

[livid drift]

I think we get a choice with this first one

silly Q, what do you mean by dump

[remote thunder]

can't drink elixir of glass -- you use it to recharge a tech, think of it as a special ion battery

[livid drift]

ohhhh. I mean use E

but I guess same result?

[civic kelp]

I think the tooltip just means you can go to inventory or open the recharge quick menu

[remote thunder]

oh we can drink it?

never tried

anyways, elixir of glass is your ion battery for exp16

[remote thunder]

delete

[livid drift]

uhhhhhh I can't get my terrain manipulator out of mine mode. ...I also don't have a scroll wheel but trackpad fudging doesn't seem to be changing the mode?

[remote thunder]

try T

that will also toggle flashlight, but should also toggle mode

[livid drift]

that's weird. nothing. maybe I'll exit and restart

still nothing but maybe I'm... doing something wrong?

I'll check control mapping

[remote thunder]

no, it's probably the fact that you don't have a mouse wheel; remap yes

[livid drift]

It's weird because I've been able to fudge mouse wheel with pinch/spread-type gestures before but. hmm

[remote thunder]

oh

weird then yeah

[livid drift]

oh I mapped it to V apparently.

[remote thunder]

oh

hehe

[livid drift]

bingo. past me already wrangled it

[remote thunder]

awesome, keep it up

[livid drift]

should I be concerned if I dig through the starting island...

"oh, this is water, not ground"

[civic kelp]

not really, I did just that

[livid drift]

oh heck, I'm at 50% boundary and haven't gotten a spare elixir because I've been digging

[civic kelp]

you start with a blaster

[livid drift]

guess I gotta go back to my original plan (fix landing thrusters, find dihydrogen

?

[remote thunder]

completing fear the sun will get you personal refiner mk1 prebuilt

install that, there's your refiner

iirc, you should have 2 jellies in your ship inventory

refine one of them for 40 dihydro

that's your dihydro for 1 elixir of glass, for the milestone

[livid drift]

oop

[civic kelp]

dunno about your controls, but the enemies that spawn at 0% are both fun and managable

[livid drift]

yeah, I'm just not sure I can finish that before my boundary juice runs out

[remote thunder]

remember that you can restore terrain and dig it all over again

[livid drift]

I just got INKED

[civic kelp]

doesn't matter, you'll just have to kill them; they come in waves of 4, both laser drill and blaster are fine

[remote thunder]

but it really shouldn't take a long time to get it -- remember you can just dig underwater terrain as well

thing is if you don't recharge they'll just keep coming

[civic kelp]

yeah, you don't suffocate or receive any damage, things just get more chaotic 😉

[remote thunder]

yeah, i'd make haste

[livid drift]

this is NOT how I wanted to start this XD

[civic kelp]

there's a milestone for reaching zero too

[livid drift]

I'm pretty much there...

[remote thunder]

and staying at 0 for 180s

or something

not one you want to tackle right now for sure

remember that you can dismantle stuff you don't need and/or that you'll be able to craft later

[livid drift]

horror movie moment: falling into a small pit on my way to my ship

I might almost be at THAT too XD

[remote thunder]

rocket launcher for example, dismantles to 100 copper and 50 cond carbon

[livid drift]

THEY'RE INKING MY SHIP

[remote thunder]

oh yeah

if it's under 50% they'll attack you wherever they can get to you

they'll even float above water chasing you and firing missiles at you lol

[livid drift]

I- I don't have chromatic metal but I can probably get oxygen. WHAT IS HAPPENING

[remote thunder]

just kill some for sure

[livid drift]

I have chosen poorly XD

....oh

I MADE one instead of using the pre-installed one

[remote thunder]

the personal refiner mk1?

[livid drift]

touching purple for real, clearly

Yeah

[remote thunder]

yeah, i did say it was rewarded prebuilt

don't worry - take a little breather

if we're going too fast with tips, it's because we're just trying to think of lots of things to help

chromatic metal, rocket launcher, dismantle, refine to copper to cmetal

[livid drift]

I'll get there, apparently my brain is just loading extra slow

[remote thunder]

don't forget to also crack open the glowing minerals you got from fear the sun milestone

refine stuff like magno gold (to gold)

[grim spruce]

Dang these spiders are yard wheb they got 4 sentinels healing ...

[civic kelp]

purple sentinels are annoying af tbh because of this

[grim spruce]

Yea ..

[civic kelp]

I might consider copying my main mt just for this milestone alone

[grim spruce]

Copy?

[remote thunder]

suggestion: mine something else nearby while standing next to a spider so that the floaters go away and investigate - when they're at the furthest point, start working on the spider. you could also, if you still have rocket launcher installed, get in your ship, shoot the spider, land, drop wanted level, save+reload/try again

[civic kelp]

I mean from anomaly terminal, from main save

[remote thunder]

more suggestions: paralysis mortar+voltaic amplifier (will need personal refiner mk2), researchable in the anomaly

[livid drift]

uhhhh I died

[remote thunder]

happens

exp16 throws a lot at you

[grim spruce]

I havent visited the anomaly once, is it the place where i can grab my items?

[civic kelp]

indeed. are you new?

[remote thunder]

yep; can be summoned via quick menu/summon anomaly when in space, after the first warp

[grim spruce]

New no but havent played any exp

[livid drift]

I tried to shoot the boundary horrors and they didn't seem to take damage

[remote thunder]

they do, but are a little tanky

[livid drift]

sort of. new time-wise, but doing Adrift 3 days after starting kind of artificially inflated my experience and resources XD

[remote thunder]

especially since starter MT doesn't have much of upgrades for boltcaster

[civic kelp]

aim where their tendrils connect to main body, that's critical spot

put boltcaster in sc slot, any upgrades next to it

[remote thunder]

if you got lucky with a visible supercharged slot in your tool, be sure to use them

(i didn't have any)

[livid drift]

I'll check when I get back. I'm changing locations because where I am it's hard to focus on all the PURPLE

[civic kelp]

did you start exp as fresh save or from existing save?

[grim spruce]

Existing

Nice

[woven shadow]

Whew! I finally have all the environmental protection exosuit modules I need

Except for underwater ones. But I’m not sure I’ll need those

This will make it easier to do the other things I need to do without reality breaking all the time

[unkempt roost]

lol should i drink the water

[livid drift]

I uhhhhh have to wait on continuing this expedition, turns out my focus issues are real today oops. At least I left things for myself that I might hopefully figure out. Ie. Gotta kick some boundary horrors for glass juice

For qualia for glass juice

I wonder what these planets are like normally, outside the expedition

[remote thunder]

don't worry, you did good. there's plenty of time left to get back on this 🙂

[remote thunder]

basically, what they are now, but without the boundary failing mechanic

[livid drift]

It felt weird completing aquarius early and being like "when does the next one start???" Because I kept forgetting

My brain was apparently not actually prepared to touch purple today XD

[grim spruce]

My game is bugged, got full protection from horrors and they swarm me

[remote thunder]

save+reload

[mystic epoch]

If i dont have / dont spend the nanotes to take my ship and multitool, what happens? Never done expedition

[grim spruce]

Yea went to space station to reload, atleast i found one spider

[woven shadow]

The environmental protection modules are not helping me as much as I thought

[grim spruce]

I have none

[remote thunder]

you basically deal with expedition with provided gear and upgrades you get from milestones/station upgrade shop/anomaly research npc

[mystic epoch]

so its doable without taking things? Or is it worth taking my ship and tool?

[unkempt roost]

so is the quicksilver the only item usefull in normal? or can you use the glass or blood

[civic kelp]

yes. remember to hydrate properly, especially when playing for long periods of time.

[civic kelp]

can't wait to return to starting planet, I liked the butterflies

[civic kelp]

it's perfectly doable with provided stuff. you can get enough nanites by selling (not installed) upgrade modules that come as rewards from milestones

[grim spruce]

I have 12k nanites rn only spent like 900 for my tool

Also i didnt sell any upgrade modules so you can get more

[ebon idol]

i wonder what will 17expedition be

[livid drift]

Fauna racing (I made that up but imagine)

[remote thunder]

quicksilver is the most useful one ofc, but elixir of water would also work (but give no extra reward)

[livid drift]

Resources are always nice (granted, I don't have as much of stuff as veterans do)

[remote thunder]

yeah, was just thinking of elixirs

[livid drift]

It's funny how you don't "need" nanites/units until you do, and then suddenly you need a gazillion (I have 20k+ nanites on main, but I saw an S ranked part somewhere for 13k... Gotta grind for my vanity ride)

[storm fiber]

can anyone tell me where I can catch the 4 fish? I cannot find the planet

[grim spruce]

In any water afaik

[woven shadow]

Whew! Phase 2 is done. I may call it quits for today.

[pearl osprey]

It's on jade planet

[remote thunder]

check this pinned post #nms-expedition message

[void shoal]

Is it Mangohud? Can you share the config?

[storm fiber]

Good thing I have the aqua jet landing system. makes fishing very easy

[remote thunder]

yep, dm'ing you if that's alright

[grim spruce]

Yey first exp done

How do i get back to normal save?

[storm fiber]

It should revert back to a normal save by itself

[grim spruce]

Hm weird

[wraith junco]

From exp terminal or options tab

[rocky kernel]

Would love a copy as well. And DM works for me. Thank you!

[rare cliff]

can someone explain to me what an anamolus fish is

ive caught like 20 fish but none of them are the right one

[storm fiber]

you are not on the correct planet

[storm fiber]

see #nms-expedition message

[rare cliff]

😭

theres a base in this system for anamolus fishing

how did i miss that

[woven shadow]

Ooh! I have to salvage a derelict freighter!

Whew that’s enough for today.

[remote thunder]

#nms-expedition message must say "haunted worlds" in text description

[viral depot]

Is there a way to transfer stuff I find in the expedition to my main save?

Because I have stumbled upon an amazing freighter upgrade but I don't have a use for it on the expedition

But I wanna bring it back to my save

[tough sluice]

Not freighters no

Sorry. 😞

Oh you mean a module? Sure.

Up to 8 stacks of mods.

Go to the anomaly and find the terminal you started from, assuming you started from your main save.

If not your main save, then you’re out of luck.

[vapid mulch]

how long does it take to finish the expedition? is ot possible to do it on the weekend?

[cold tulip]

Can be done in a few hrs but that depends on you mostly

[pearl osprey]

It depends on your knowledge and mastery of the game. With a good level I would say between 4 and 6 hours

[vapid mulch]

i played 30 h so it takes much longer i guess ^^

[pearl osprey]

It will depend. Have you ever done an expedition ?

[vapid mulch]

yes the last one

[shy nimbus]

How's y'all doing on the final exp?

[long bone]

ultimately, youll clear it much faster if you start from your main save and bring a couple of clutch items (all the main materials, pre-used exosuit modules, materials you can convert to nanites, materials you can sell for units, etc)

[civic kelp]

hold on

[shy nimbus]

Left foot lets stomp

[civic kelp]

did you do it already?

lol

[long bone]

in the save section, if not at the expedition terminal (it will say "return to primary save)

[civic kelp]

it's gonna revert in two weeks, when it ends. right now you can move back and forth between modes or you could FINISH the expedition, but you should wait with that

once you redeem all rewards you can't "return" from terminal, just options menu- terminal will, well, terminate the expedition

[arctic grotto]

Went into this one blind from my first ever expedition which was the last one... wow.... what a dramatic change in vibe. Not sure how I feel about it. "Go fishing take it easy.. no rush.. calm blue oceans." to "There are brain worms telling me awful things that I don't understand?!?! Are you real? Am I real? Why is everything just .. wrong...". But I am starting to get into it. Nice to see there is a 'range' to the expeditions. Just wasn't expecting polar opposites back to back. : )

[pearl osprey]

Ok so you know how it works, it's already a lot. Normally you should be fine. You just have to know where to look for what is being asked. And as a last resort you can always ask your questions here

[vapid mulch]

Thank you for the information, maybe I will start today, but at the latest tomorrow. What materials should I bring?

in the last i went complete "naked" in ^^

[remote thunder]

this pinned post #nms-expedition message , and bringing 400 tainted metal+512 atlantideum+4 hypnotic eyes should have you rolling smooth after you get that access to anomaly (after leaving starter system)

[pearl osprey]

I couldn't list everything for you and then it would spoil a bit. Above all, take everything that is used on a daily basis (life support system, take-off engine, pulso engine) just replace sodium with as much Dihydrogen as possible

[vapid mulch]

best community ever

[long bone]

@vapid mulch bring a couple of stacks of Hadal Cores as a stack of 10 will give you 500 nanites.

[remote thunder]

whispering egg drops larval core, just to be accurate

[arctic grotto]

Well heck... I have been going in commando ... didn't really get what the spots were for items before hitting the "Let's go!" button. I guess I should have come here earlier. That one is on me.

[long bone]

ty i got confused there

[fickle prawn]

boutta start up the expedition

les go

[remote thunder]

dihydro later on really wont be a problem regardless, just remember to check trade terminals

[fickle prawn]

i think i start from my main save just because ive never done a expedition

[remote thunder]

go for it

[fickle prawn]

theres no difference right?

[vapid mulch]

I probably left a bunch of units behind in the last expedition because I sold the valuable items during the expedition. How do you guys handle that?

[remote thunder]

imo, the thing about exp16 that can happen is, if you get a not so good spawn point, it wont be possible to restart the run if you start from existing save. that said, there's always a way to get out of more tricky situations.

[fickle prawn]

so just start a new save just in case?

[remote thunder]

if you start an exp run from an existing save, currency balance will be merged back into primary on finish

[fickle prawn]

i just started it from new save

[remote thunder]

i'd suggest that, yes. you may not even get it (i.e. spawn underwater), but if you do, it may push you in a way that you're not used to yet

[fickle prawn]

eh whatever

can always try again

[remote thunder]

more tips:

• there's no hazard protection: there's anomaly suppressor. when anomaly suppressor charge falls below 50%, boundary horrors get aggressive.
• getting in your ship doesnt recharge anomaly suppressor, drinking elixir of glass and leaving a planet does.
• terrain manipulator delete then flatten -- fear the sun needs 1600 cubic u of dirt for insta personal refiner unlock
• when it comes to elixirs: have multiplayer disabled, gather the mats for them, but craft them, use them when told to by the milestone hint

you want to do fear the sun from phase 4 asap imo

yes you can do it and claim it even if you're not in phase 4 yet

[vapid mulch]

Phew, this expedition is much more complicated than the last one.

[long bone]

not too much, just a little more restrictive

[remote thunder]

when anomaly suppressor charge falls below 50%, boundary horrors get aggressive.
don't mess around on planets sight-seeing until you're able to craft as many elixir of glass as needed, and/or your ship can fly

[pearl osprey]

The problem is mainly the management of the purple bar. Once it's managed it's fine

[remote thunder]

if after fixing ship you still have decent charge left, feel free to go ahead and waste 16 boundary horrors

[vapid mulch]

I sometimes have problems with the regular game. 😂

[remote thunder]

mordite: kill fish

[keen zephyr]

Is this milestone supposed to be irradaited fish or anomalous fish?

[remote thunder]

anomalous

must say "haunted worlds" in text

[keen zephyr]

ah,thx

[vapid mulch]

I will start tomorrow morning. Thank you again for all the tips. I wish you a nice evening, and we’ll talk tomorrow.👋

[calm flax]

There was a player base in the transporter in the space station that showed anomalous fishing.

[remote thunder]

check pinned post for suitable planets #nms-expedition message

[calm flax]

@remote thunder I finished the expedition finally. Looks like they removed the personal protection that I used the first time I did the expedition.

[remote thunder]

makes sense

[calm flax]

might make sense but, it worked a lot better

The flying saucer we got for the expedition. I'm going to have to take it out for a spin one of these days and check it out.

[remote thunder]

congrats on finish! 🙂 enjoy the ship

[livid drift]

I crashed into a mega nap. When I woke up I thought I might be pursued by jellyfish. I didn't even get far and it clearly left an impact on me, dang XD

[calm flax]

Thanks. Not sure how many times I've got the ship and still haven't taken it out for a spin

[arctic grotto]

IKR?!?! I am feeling that as well. Having trouble leaving the 'starting' system. But.. you know puzzles... just got to work the issue and move on.

[remote thunder]

good luck, we're here if you need some assistance/tips

[calm flax]

I always have trouble leaving the starter system in an ugly ship.

[livid drift]

Yeah uh. I got a run for my money. To be fair I was accidentally impaired so it was even MORE of a trip

That tripping into a pit on my way to my ship while pursued by boundary horrors will probably stick with me

[calm flax]

I think the game has an issue with me for some reason. A couple of times I've started expeditions on the side of a mountain and start falling as soon as I get control. One of those mountains it can take a couple of days to roll to the bottom.

[livid drift]

I spawned underwater this expedition, which was both thematically neat and... Unnerving

[remote thunder]

yeah

underwater is definitely one of the more challenging scenarios

[fickle prawn]

wow 3 outta 7 already gone is this

[remote thunder]

especially if player isn't seeing the whole picture yet, and sorta forgets that there's a purple bar there

[fickle prawn]

for phase 1

[arctic grotto]

Same... which after I survived the uncontrolled intro.. I dug it. However, if I had died... probably not so much.

[livid drift]

I got to the surface and my ship fast enough at least

[remote thunder]

not to mention, swimming is slow

[livid drift]

Yeah, I cheated and just jet packed underwater

[remote thunder]

even so 😄 can't melee jetpack underwater 😄

[livid drift]

"cheated"

True XD eventually I will understand the majesty of melee jetpacking

[calm flax]

I remember back when I first started playing I transp;orted to a submarine. After that I kept referring to the nautilon as the baby sub. People was asking why I called it the baby sub since it was the only sub in the game. then I had to tell them about the sub I transported to. A huge sub. Wish I had taken pictures.

[remote thunder]

might be a little easier to do if you start trying to learn in 1st person

[livid drift]

Why so?

[remote thunder]

the weapon is right in front of you, you can see its animation perfectly

[long bone]

do you still get attacked by boundary horrors? 👀🫠

[livid drift]

Aha

I'll try it... Eventually

[storm fiber]

what is the best use for Tainted Metal?

[soft tapir]

Nanites

Imo

[remote thunder]

if anomaly suppressor is below 50%, they will fly above water, following you -- if you come up for air, get ready for some missiles

[livid drift]

Not in the beginning I didn't. Apparently you can also avoid horrors underwater to an extent, but when your boundary juice gets low...

[remote thunder]

in exp, yes, nanites

[livid drift]

Yep, what bk said

[pearl osprey]

To get some ?
Ah use
My bad

[remote thunder]

and they can be nasty, as then everything starts piling up on your screen - multiple overlays i.e. boundary failing and shields

[long bone]

ngl i got cocky and paid the swarming price upon starting the exp: ship spawned near abandoned building, took on horrors AND full boundary horrors thinking i got this

i did not

[remote thunder]

yeah, that's going to be intense

[livid drift]

Oh dang XD

I died quickly because I goofed and didn't outrun the meter while trying to make my first elixir

At least getting to my grave was easy

[remote thunder]

yeah, that's pretty much the thing to do early on

[civic kelp]

I barely made it alive from attacking horror eggs while at 0% boundary thing

[livid drift]

I hope I can actually kill the jellies when I get back in

[remote thunder]

you can

just make sure to look at your multitool

make the best boltcaster adjacency possible with what you have

goto town you got this

[fickle prawn]

how can i get mordite bruh

idk where any is

[livid drift]

I'll check for supercharging. I think everything I saw was very basic though

[remote thunder]

kill fish

[fickle prawn]

theres no fish on this planet

[remote thunder]

even w/o SC - i didn't have any -- you'll still be able to murder a few

[remote thunder]

on the starter planet? there is

[fickle prawn]

idk

where?

[remote thunder]

in the water

Vira XIV planet

[long bone]

kill creatures

[remote thunder]

fish description "effectively blind"

lmao

just noticed

"forms schools" 😂

[quaint urchin]

A bit late, but check the Wiki like this: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Mordite#Source

[fickle prawn]

i got it already

now i need pugneum

sentinal time

[remote thunder]

install+dismantle c-class boltcaster module

[livid drift]

I'm still out of it and I keep expecting to see jellyfish. X_X I should get up at least...

[calm flax]

I stepped outside at a minor settlement and shot a couple of sentinels then walked back inside to wait for the threat level to go away.

I'm not a fighter so a minor settlement is my favorite place to get walker brains at.

I never have to worry about holes when I go out on the landing pad and the rails will sometimes protect me against the dogs laser beams.

[livid drift]

Me panicking and fleeing underground like a mole after blowing up a sentinel

[fickle prawn]

fair

is boundry streght fails do i die?

[livid drift]

I didn't realize how the sentinel dogs are actually... Dog till I heard the barking

That alone won't kill you...

[calm flax]

used to when I took out a resource depot I'd start by digging a hole in the ground beside the depot and force them to come in the hole and I could take them out one or 2 at a time.

[remote thunder]

anomaly suppressor charge level controls boundary strength; if you let it drop below 50%, boundary horrors will become aggressive. when it's between 50% and 0%, they just keep spawning and attacking

[fickle prawn]

ah ok

how do i refine gold?

[remote thunder]

to get gold?

[livid drift]

Meanwhile, I panic when they find me in my burrow XD

[fickle prawn]

ye

[fickle prawn]

i need gold

[remote thunder]

you could get some from asteroids, buy some, even refine living pearl (armored clam, underwater)

also, if you got fear the sun milestone already, save, then crack open the 3 glowin minerals

some of that e.g. magno gold, refines to gold

[calm flax]

I also used to build a small building with doors on all 4 walls and a foundation all the way around that I could step out on. The minor settlement has become my favorite spot though since it's already built.

[remote thunder]

could also find buried mineral formations for the same magno-gold etc

[livid drift]

Can they see you through doors? I built a base/box building next to "sentient plants" on main and made it L shaped just in case...

[calm flax]

they can shoot you while you're inside. I try to move around a lot especially when I'm waiting to regain my health.

I tend to think I'm safer inside the minor settlement also. I've tried other buildings but, they can shoot inside them easier.

[ashen shore]

They attacked me when inside buildings, but staying inside is generally better

[ashen shore]

Yeah, shooting not the melee dive

[livid drift]

Inside, but maybe not too close to the walls...

I love the people who make small bases in places that help people on their expedition

[bleak bronze]

Is building a settlement part of this expedition? I randomly attained one and got the office built. Then I did the make the place safer option, and then havent been able to do anything with it since.

[shy nimbus]

Don't touch the squids 🦑

[verbal condor]

its not related

[fair relic]

So i just got a message from beyond the boundary, it said "Artemis is gone"

[bleak bronze]

I went into the next portal realm for and working on Metal Bones. However, i didnt have a cold shield and nearly died attempting the freighter. So i stopped and went to other places to farm the potions/get the module. Now, when i try to go back to the same Space Station/Universe Im in, I cant find it. Did I do something wrong?

The space station i was on looked evil and had evil looking lights inside.

now its the regular ones

Do I need to go back through the portal?

or just spend the 5 mill looking for a freighter again?

[low jackal]

go to the anomaly, talk to helios, he will give you a free emergency scanner (once per week)

[bleak bronze]

What i mean is, can I leave a derelict freighter and go back. I had to leave mine and prep for cold usage

[low jackal]

no

you can't

[bleak bronze]

So im fucked?

[low jackal]

you need a new emergency scanner

you are not fucked

[bleak bronze]

So yeah, another 10 mil i dont have now

[low jackal]

I literally just told you you can get a free one

who do you mean by "same person"?

[bleak bronze]

Sorry, i missed that you said, person in the anomoly

Im coming back fresh from 8 years, so everything is new to me. This is my first expedition

[low jackal]

its okay

[bleak bronze]

Where's helios in the anomoly?

[low jackal]

talk to Helios (#9)

[bleak bronze]

Perfect, thank you

[low jackal]

Also there are heaters in the derelict

if you are low on hazard protection, turn on the heaters and recharge

[bleak bronze]

That was literally my first time doing a derelict, so i didnt know

So uh, i just asked helio about his past, and nothing

Does it not work in expeditions?

[low jackal]

perhaps it is disabled

you can come back to this later

keep doing other milestones first and sell the rewards

[warped nebula]

im having trouble with this expedition and im hoping yall can help. im on the part of scanning 2 exotic animals and no matter what planet i got to in the system it says its on a different planet ive landed on all of them and same thing can someone offer a fix for this. side note i found one scanned it and then it started telling me the same thing again there is anther planet with the creature

after looking in all the planets files i guess where is shows what had been found i can find anther exotic in the system yet it tells me there is one and to just scan the planet from space

[low jackal]

have you

#nms-expedition message

[warped nebula]

no clue what im looking at in there?

[bleak bronze]

Was the Genetic Glitch achievement updated to 2 creatures? Im watching a guide showing it was just one creature on Kobabalt17 and there's only 1 species here. But the achievement is for 2. Im assuming I just go to another world then for this?

[low jackal]

yes

[warped nebula]

thats the thing all the other worlds say there is no creature on this planet go back to space and scan

[low jackal]

system and planet name you want to go to ?

[low jackal]

it always has been 2 creatures
you are meant to find another one

[bleak bronze]

But not in the same planet/dimension it seems

[low jackal]

later system will have more

keep doing other milestone first

[warped nebula]

guessing the system that i can find the other is close buy or is it on the other side of the galaxy?

[bleak bronze]

im looking at the pinned post and im going back and getting one of those

[low jackal]

those are the systems you will be travelling to in this expedition

just keep doing other milestones and eventually you will be there

[muted crater]

Does this expedition exclude access to the anomaly? Cause I brought some stuff over and I want to claim it sooner than later…

bro this hyperborean planet with extreme storm just won't go away

what do i do?

[bleak bronze]

Is there any purpose to the inverted mirrors?

[fickle prawn]

how do i get storm crystals

fast

[queen nova]

Where to find the fish I need

[blissful onyx]

what fish do you need

@queen nova

[queen nova]

The anomalous ones

[blissful onyx]

oh your here

you can go to exotic/mega exotic worlds for those

and use a lure that gives you rarity

[fickle prawn]

how can i get storm crystals fast

[queen nova]

I have none of those

[blissful onyx]

go to a exotic planet

[fickle prawn]

do i just let my protection thing just die

and run around

[blissful onyx]

what's the weirdest planet you have access to? Go there to fish

that's basically anomalous fish obtainment method

[queen nova]

Harsh toxic planet

[blissful onyx]

you wait for a extreme storm

[fickle prawn]

i know that

[blissful onyx]

probably won't have them

[fickle prawn]

but does it pop up on my scanner?

[blissful onyx]

the crystals will, yes

[fickle prawn]

ok

[blissful onyx]

And you will be warned of a storm

[queen nova]

What are the exotic planets

[blissful onyx]

without a storm they are hidden

[blissful onyx]

wiki has a lot but examples can be hexed, planetary anomaly

[fickle prawn]

how long should the expedition take?

[blissful onyx]

usually 4-8hrs depends on the tasks

10-12 if it's a big one

[queen nova]

Xeno colony one

[fickle prawn]

well now i wait for a storm

[blissful onyx]

Xeno colony is an exotic I believe

If it has a color filter it's a mega exotic

basically just exotic with a color filter and better resources

[blissful onyx]

shouldn't take long hopefully

[queen nova]

Hope it is cause I have no bait at all

[blissful onyx]

Xeno colony should have anomalous fish

If not I'd try a different exotic or try to find a mega exotic

[queen nova]

Would no bait work as well

[worthy hatch]

What are the funniest items to send players on an expedition?

[blissful onyx]

Yea bait just makes things faster in certain areas

just a rarity increaser but you can get everything with no bait

[queen nova]

I have no bait this sucks

[blissful onyx]

make meat chunk bait
Just got a find a animal and murder it

[fickle prawn]

15 minutes later and a storm comes

[blissful onyx]

Gotta

[fickle prawn]

god damn

now i just need the crystals

[blissful onyx]

yea the game won't have storms when you need hem

them

[fickle prawn]

they pop up on my visor right?

[blissful onyx]

during storms yes

Electricity symbol, should be

[fickle prawn]

welp just 1 more thing and im done phase 2

and phase 3 number 1 is already done so

im on a roll

Expedition Tech:

• Refiner Mk II
• Trade Rocket
• Remembrance
• Starseed
• Rocket Boots
• Airburst Engine
• Shield Lattice (for The Cursed)
• Advanced Translator

Everything else, including Ship and Multi-Tool tech, can be included with your cloned ship/multi-tool

Remembrance and Starseed will increase your health… and rocket boots are helpful because they make you use the survey device so damn much.

Suspicious Packets and Salvaged Glass in the cargo transfer should handle other tech needs, and nanite needs

[worthy hatch]

Oh, and if you can get a Minotaur, then you don’t need hazard gauntlets

[worthy hatch]

Remind me what unlocks the Space Anomaly in this Expedition?

[long bone]

iirc after your first portal jump

i might be wrong tho, idr

[worthy hatch]

That’s… infuriating.

[gray sun]

Am I supposed to not be able to enter my ship after using the first portal

[long bone]

should have access

maybe reload?
