It unlocks after your first warp to a new system.
You get it from defeating the boundary horrors
I need to make some nanites quick. If I buy the other expedition ships, package all the tech in them, salvaged the ship, and then sell the resulting tech upgrades, would I make my nanites back with a profit?
And believe it or not this isn’t for the expedition challenge
packaged tech sells for basically nothing unfortunately regardless of what it is
your best bet is probably going to be scrounging for things that can refine into nanites. Slime. hadal/larval cores, tainted metal, sentinel drops
Got it, thanks
If there's no rush, next time you find an abandoned base with eggs around it, shoot eggs and collect. Jump onto base roof when the bugs come after you. Eggs respawn in about a week real time. Or if you have plenty of cash larval cores are usually for sale at pirate stations. One larval core refines to 50 nannites iirc
uuuhh i wish the horrors started attacking at 25% not 50%
go to pirate systems, go to the vendor, buy tech packages
open them, but don't install. sell on regular space station
We’re good now, got that multi tool class upgrade. Thanks guys!
btw, once I go through a portal, I come out of another one, right?
can I drink elixir of blood and go through this one for next milestone?
or does it have to be a different portal?
I want to save flying and brewing potions
@civic kelp Yes, you can use the portal you end up at from previous one and do so again a next time until you finish the expedition last location
Just make sure to follow instructions to go to next location through portal, as it requires drinking the correct potion first or it will have different interaction
so elixirs of blood are mandatory?
now the hard part. where was that portal? I left a save beacon, but can;t find it now
Yes, you will have to learn to craft them first, then craft and use to be able to get to the correct next location through a portal. Notice the icon they come with (glyph)
OOOH
If you are in the same system, you should see the marker icon
NOW I SEE
Hello everyone! Can I start expeditions using the main save game, or make a new one?
the glyph, makes sense now!
yes
yes, you can star using main save or making a new one;)
You can do either, your choice. Use !Faq-Expedition in #bot-spam
and using main save is recommended (at least by me)
thank
thx
Hey guys
Hope you are all doing well
Anything I should carry before starting the expedition
yes
tainted metal, atlantideum, horrible eyes
bk201 posted a few things before, try checking his messages
Got it
Thankss
Lots of dihydrogen. Lots.
Like a good sized stack
No environmental hazard protection, it’s different in this one.
i think i'm going to start suggesting that if people aren't copying MT in, they should bring packaged optical drill. suggesting it to @snow ruin (for the pinned post, here's a dl for extra convenience #nms-expedition message )
OD helps massively with resource mining
and.. it can come in handy, for something unforeseen/forgotten
playing with it all the time in non-exps - makes it a lot more rewarding to mine a few rocks or plants - really makes me miss it in exp when i don't have it
Im not even on atm I lost at the part u have to scan the animals and it said like exitic or something idk can somone tell me what to do there so when I come back it's simple
there's multiple planets (ones with gold on resource list) suited for this milestone, check this pinned post #nms-expedition message
what do the baddies look like for the aracphobia?
Hello, just doing the current expedition, looking for exotic creatures! It's saying "no exotic planets in current system" and to install the hyperdrive! But when I go to the anomaly to learn the hyperdrive, it's saying lost memory!!
Look at #nms-expedition message to see what planets have what you are loking for
Hello, those planets aren't in the current system I'm in, and can't install the hyperdrive to get to that system..
those are systems you will visit later
just keep doing other milestone
It's cool.. I used the teleporter in the space station
If u visited space stations u can jump to other systems
Not sure why I didn't think of that before I typed here
There will be disonant system at some point. U can get sentinel ship there. I think it should have hyperdrive.
Thank you
As well, many players have built bases you can portal to in areas that you need to go to on the expedition
Hello, is there a way to send pets from the expedition back to my main save? (Not the egg/pets from the expedition rewards, I want to send back the pet I tamed on the planet)
afaik you can only take eggs
So you can transfer the eggs back to the main save? Because I tried to send the egg from the expedition reward but I can't do it
at best, you could drop and claim a base computer at the planets you adopted fauna from, then after you finish those bases will be merged back to primary, and you'll just be able to teleport in to them and adopt the creatures you want in your primary save. can't transfer eggs via expedition terminus, @storm fiber
Ohh I see, thank you very much!
@remote thunder Thanks for correcting me. I would hate to give out incorrect advice
no worries 🙂 in a game like this we definitely need to be as accurate as possible.
(always feel free to ping me, this goes for anyone ofc - i'm usually around)
pings BK201 at 4am
i may reply a few hours later, if that's the case 😄
How to craft the anomaly suppressor on the main save?
won't be able to
it's unique to exp16 runs
just like quicksilver huh
quicksilver earned in expedition can either be merged back into primary save (if exp run was started from existing save), or spent in expedition: non-consumable quicksilver purchases are unlocked account wide, and can then later be claimed once per save, any save under the same account. practically, an exp run started from existing save is considered a different save.
Ohh gotcha
Can you send items back and forth multiple times when you start an expedition from an existing save?
yes, but will need to first complete and claim all milestones to unlock expedition terminus shared inventory, add items, back out, save, pause/options/return to primary, take items out, save, resume expedition, repeat as many times as needed
Thank you 🙂
I prepped a few items for the expedition. The tainted glass and atlantideum I transferred counted towards the milestone but for the fossils and storm crystals didn't for some reason.
oof, okay, I am no longer brain lagged. time to TRY AGAIN (in a few minutes
my ship completely disappeared and i cant summon it. any way i can get it back
I left off where I had to shoot a bunch of boundary horrors... hoo boy
i may actually be softlocked because of this
How the -kzzzkt- am I supposed to get mordite when none of them creatures will hold still, and none of them will -kzzzkt- when I feed them?!
i am soft locked fun
guessing you've tried reloading a restore point save
multiple times
summon is blacked out i landed on a anomaly planet reloaded on to a fire planet now i am soft locked completely
weird as saving is tied to being in the ship and exiting out of it
you can also save at the weird little poles but when i reloaded the first time i was entering and exiting my ship but after it reloaded i was put on a completely different planet
you can shoot them
oh yeah, forgot about the save waypoints. and the two you can construct. weird bug
I HAVE BEEN SHOOTING THEM
THEY HAVE SEEMINGLY INFINITE HEALTH AND KEEP MOVING TOO FAST
AND THEY WON’T CRAP WHEN I FEED THEM, SO I CAN’T REFINE SAID CRAP TO MAKE THE MORDITE
🤔
well there goes 2 hours of progress fun
Shoot with ship weapons
Water animals are weaker and easyer to kill
cant build a teleporter by any chance?
nope nothing
you tried just dying?
I experienced something similar, but an autosave actually spat me back out near where I got stuck
(this sounds ridiculous but it is, indeed, a tactic)
i did and nothing worked i was completely soft locked
damn
!hg
You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
therefore i am slightly irratated now XD
sorry bro
its all good i know these things happens and some are completely unpredictable but i should be able to zoom my way back
if u need anything, hit me up, ill hook u up
speed things up a little
And I can’t get to the space anomaly to pick up the stuff I brought with me until I get through the portal
But getting through the portal is proving to be literally impossible
what are u missing? @worthy hatch
me: I won't be super completionist on THIS expedition, I'll be sane.
also me: purchases 49 exosuit drop pod coords..
on THIS expedition though? XD
Every. Single. Time.
That's commitment...
Well I can usually... restrain myself
to 'just enough that I am not deleting things to pick stuff up'
I blame them for giving me like 3 ships to scrap and tons of units
All right, going back in, take bets on how long it'll be before I get jellyfish'd
ooh, I actually have two supercharged slots in my multi-tool
how much nanite do i need for ship and multitool?
on expedition
Depends on the class of your ship and tool
what are the mats will i need for exp
About 3-4k
both s class
S class each need about 2 - 2.2k nanites to duplicate
I haven't started it yet so idk
(answered in #nms-questions ) ✅
now i am randomly getting screen tearing
Okay, I finally have mordite, I’m calm
But unfortunately, the game won’t let me uninstall my Mk 1 Personal Refiner so I can install the Mk 2
will it let you store it though
if neither, save+reload and try again
Oh, those cheeky bastards. “Memory Lost”: Can’t learn Hazard Protection blueprint at the space anomaly <.<
I had previously learned that regular hazard proc and anomaly suppression would synergize and make a longer lasting anomaly suppressor. Seems they nipped that in the bud.
naturally so
oof. I've been locked in this loop of constantly having to grab more materials for the elixir of glass so I stop getting merc'd by jellyfish
get in your ship -- goto space to recharge anomaly sup to 100%
I guess I can take off/get off the planet though, maybe that'll suspend the loop
whew
correct
for some reason there is like. NO dihydrogen on the starting planet. at least not near my spawn point
keep an eye on space station multitool upgrade modules
look at trade terminals/pilots for jellies
I'll make a pit stop at the space station then
always
a quick check at trade terminals, some pilots that might have landed
grab carbon from planters
@livid drift oh, just came to mind as well, buy + install+ dismantle geology cannon c-class modules for dihydro jelly
I don't have much in the way of units right now either, and the space station has no jellies. this is a doozy XD
this is a silly question but humor me. I can just bug the people at space stations to trade, no issues?
You mean the npc pilots?
geology cannon modules --
check the MT upgrade shop
are there any of those?
70 nanites a piece or so
1 jelly each
I'll take a look over there shortly
heck. no geo cannons. ...and also not enough nanites
do I need to hit a certain point to summon the anomaly?
if not that's my next stop
leave starter system
righto
then quick menu as usual
Remind me which elixirs we can take back to main?
quicksilver, water if you'd like to fight boundary guardian again someday
Been at it all morning, still can’t locate one quadruped
@peak tree
-#
to view info below, enable embeds
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.

oh wait. if I don't have a hyperdrive, how can I leave the starting system?
Yeah, I wanted mainly to bring back water for funsies. 🙂
progress and complete phase 1 milestones
remember, craft elixirs when told to
Level 4 Sentry Alert on a Corrupted Planet
Time to blow up some more jellyfish
during this expedition you won't need it
If you stand still and just shoot the ones that spawn, you can farm a lot of qualia in a short time
watch the ground trails
That + buy di-hydro jellies when you find them, even if you don't need it right then, will keep you stable.
I'm going to... when I find them
@livid drift Noyama-Kaus I system station terminal has jellies for sale; that's the system you'll get to by completing breach 2 milestone from phase 2
+100 points for the Blathers reaction 🙂
I can't help it, I'm a habitual emote gesturer, and Blathers is the best nod of understanding I have XD
This redux is the first one where I've felt compelled to take a break every few steps. Hoo-ee
Ha, I'm an AC girl myself, no worries. 🙂
can't believe the sentinels are still doing their jobs amidst all this purple-touching nonsense... lolol
If I wanted to bring my multi tool when I start , how would you do it, I can add cargo and tech but I don’t see a place to select a multi tool
just have it equipped, same for the ship you'll want to copy
when it comes to gear, you could even make a mistake here, and then return from expedition and change gear, save, resume expedition - and exp side, expedition terminus would see the changes
so when i get to the anomoly to collect my gear while in the exp, there would be a option to copy to the multitool
It's been added, thanks for the suggestion
yeah, in the expedition terminus
couple buttons
will cost nanites
Sooooo we are on the exotic creatures scan part and the only exotic world in our system is the cabled one with the ONE exotic creature on it. Can we find exotic creatures on any of the other planets or are we screwed? We have to scan 2 lol
yes, there's other planets in the next systems suitable to complete the milestone; check the pinned posts
there's 4 that i'm aware of
oooohhh I see now, Thank you!
oh. there's no "regular fish" to shoot. only fauna. I am sorry my new sea-goat friends
"okay, drink glass. then blood. then quicksilver." "is there going to be a breathalyzer somewhere after this"
craft blood, don't drink it
It did tell me to drink the blood for that milestone
the only things you actually drink are glass, and quicksilver
man, we are really touching purple through this entire expedition
oh the first one i guess it might
the others don't
the others are just to present to portals
on the flip side, at least I'm now in a good rhythm of "get to ~50% boundary, shoot some horrors, go into space, repeat"
and I have three spare shots of glass, so.
remember that 1 glass doesn't charge to 100%
other than that, you should be good
iirc, starter system station has s-class life sup modules
it might be a good thing to invest into this one
@ionic smelt if you have questions about this expedition, this is the place!
learned that the hard way
that's why I start acting at 50%
I feel like the middle chunk of anomaly juice (66%-25%) drains the fastest XD
All that's left is hunting indium for chromatic metal
people really buckled down to make helpful bases, I'm appreciative
Hmm. boundary juice doesn't deplete when you're in buildings? sweet
there's various terminals and trade pilots that will sell chromatic metal too
just vibing, taunting the sentinels and jellyfish, waiting for the blizzard to end, nbd...
I probably could have just looked elsewhere on the starter planet instead of wasting fuel wandering, but I had trouble finding it 
Im in the middle of the CURSE expedition. And I cant seem to find a Infected planet at all...
PC
I went back to the 3rd randevue too
xeno colony on third system
check the pinned message
Guess ill see if that system is at one of my other rondevues. Cause its not at 3.
noyama-kaus i is the system you get to by completing breach 2
Thats mt CURRENT 3rd system
you're in the system you'd do breach 4 milestone in, basically
goto a teleporter, select the stations filter, find noyama-kaus i
Its at rondevue 2 for me lol
there's a discrepancy because of the starter system/phase 1 having a breach milestone
Found them I think
ugh. I'm stuck in a loop of sentinels. Hiding underground won't make them go away on their own if it tells me to destroy them, right?
Hiding isn't stopping my boundary juice from falling so uhhhh I would like to finish and get what I need without getting killed thanks
or maybe I should just let them kill me and then bum rush to my grave
also got my shield broken and for some reason I have no sodium...
to fix it with I mean
save+reload
do you have mp enabled?
i also never dig - i rely on distance alone to drop wanted level
or cloak
definitely and/or cloak 😄
strange, yeah, digging probably confused them
ok are the Quads the medium sized ones that like to cloak?
or are they the big tall ones?
so the ones that are NOT drilling?
often guarding resonators, the drills
right
but there's small ones too, those wont count
has to be the large ones
okie dokie got it. We killed one and it didnt count so I was just checking
just jumped through the first portal. oh boy
I am unable to obtain portal coords to complete Phase 2. Monoliths won't provide it. They just give me the option to leave, even though the monolith accepts my presence. Any ideas?
Another quicksilver elixir must be used
Oh! I get it. thank you!
this is intense
I uh have chosen poorly and a wind event just launched me into the air. can I survive
I made it. gotta wait for the wind to go down so I can get the bones safely and the storm crystals... safelyish
never mind! I may have frozen my game by tabbing out. the irony
been there 😄 tip: while airborne, open photo mode and set fog to 0% - find storm crystal clusters from the air, land next to them
about tornadoes: they come for you
if one sucks you in, definitely don't panic
I actually survived with a few careful jetpack taps and got plopped on the ground
oh shoot. I need ammo. I have no ammo
No ammo on the space station...
nvm I can craft it oop
....there are tornadoes in this game!?!?
can easily kill you
I might need a break actually X_X
FEAR
Actually, since I did breach 1, maybe I can pick my stuff up from the anomaly now?
During the Rogue-Lite expedition, died due to tornado, got slammed into floor
yep
goto space, summon anomaly
Are tornadoes only on specific extreme worlds or can they spawn on any of them?
any of them yeah
FEAR INTENSIFIES
if there's an extreme storm, there's a chance for extreme weather events: wind (tornadoes), electrical disturbances (lightning strikes), meteor shower
I've seen lightning strikes but never tornadoes
I got wind'd previously
I'm taking a break before I go back to hecking blizzard land for more bones...
I'm curious how the ink trail looks
What weapons are people using on the boundary horrors? My Neutron cannon and pulse spitter, both of which cream sentinels, both seem kinda weak.
pulse spitter for me, 2 s-class pspitter modules and they were melting
Maybe I just need to reposition the modules.
feel free to post a screenshot of MT inventory
I will when I’m on later tonight
For some reason my pulse spitter seems adequate (I think I have something supercharged
be sure to SC core weapon tech first
Oh, noted, I think I was doing it to the addons
if you have 1 SC only, then core tech first; if using more than 1 SC, then the rest goes to upgrade module(s).
sole exception to that rule of thumb for weapon supercharging is neutron cannon: here the tech to be supercharged is actually pfield compressor
I finished the last expedition except that I didn't accept the last two rewards. Will I receive those rewards or will I miss out on them? I'm just about to start the curse expedition, but I'm not sure how to process. Can I still get those rewards or am I boned?
the only ways to get them now would be save editing/modding/service bot
bummer. that's what i thought. thanks for the reply. i'll just begin the current expedition @remote thunder
I've been maining the neutron cannon lately, but I found the scatter blaster really effective on the horrors. A 3 shot burst from a maxed out blaster does the trick and fast. Maybe 2 shots if it's supercharged too. Also, did anyone else only find out recently that the scatter blaster is automatic?
so we got the ship, do we just wait for the expedition to be over with and then it lets us continue this save? Or are we doing something wrong?
nvm
lol
once my bud left the party it did it
Gotta note
!faq-multitoolayout in #bot-spam is also available 🙂
ok, back to game, let's see those tendrils
is there a way to boost anomaly fish?
remember, must say "haunted worlds" in description to count
what about doomed? cause i am on the 3rd system but not seein haunted
no, i mean, in the fish description sorry. suitable planets are any of planet of red/green/blue biome, and yes, "doomed" -- "doomed jade"? -- would be suitable
you have
In Wine-Dark Seas:
Noyama-Kaus I system, Idwo Omega planet
Miurai XI system, Vira XIV planet
Miurai is the starter system, Noyama the system you get to by completing breach 2 milestone
so, I run out of life support. what do I do? wait in space station for a trader with oxygen?
no mats to craft life support gel?
options/difficulty/resource availability must be set to abundant for trade terminals/npc pilots to sell o2 and other survival mats
curious. ok, dihydrogen jelly was available
how much tainted metal is necessary for the milestone?
400: turn in crew manifest and captains log to scrap dealer and you'll have them
I have a lot; some other player asked for it, had to know how much
I mean, I have several thousand, so not that much either, didn't want to waste it
Good evening, does it make sense to copy your own ship for the expedition?
and where can the Packaged Personal Refiner
i'd package personal refiner mk2; and about copying ship - well, no real need tbh
The basic boltcaster with one upgrade and a a blue print that came on the starter MT is what I killed my first 64+ with.
They go down easy.
same. not sure about purple quadrupeds though
corrupted sentinels are more heavily armored, boltcaster struggles a bit
oh i was so confused XD
I might have to copy mt
Quadrapeds my Pulse Spitter was eating pretty quick.
Biggest thing I had issues with was the damn freighter. No hazard protection sucked.
any tips on anomalous fish? is spicy chum ok?
Alright, here we go, I'm curious how long it will take .
no need for any bait, there isn't a rarity requirement and there's no bait for specific biome fish
can i sell these fireworks?
or just dump/delete/use when on a planet for a party
quicksilver shop has fireworks for sale if you ever need some for some reason
if im getting a derelict freighter pop up as im warping around, do i still need to buy coordinates?
derelict freighter missions don't usually spawn without using an emergency signal scanner though.
!faq-derelicts @mystic epoch
@mystic epoch
-#
to view info below, enable embeds
**Why can't I land on this derelict?
**
There are two different derelict freighter events in the game.
Not Boardable, if the derelict...
• is broken into large pieces, like the lower freighter model in this image
• has no landing pads by the bridge
• has shootable cargo pods nearby (it may not)
If there are nearby cargo pods, you may shoot them for materials, which it will trigger pirates.
Boardable, if the derelict...
• is not broken into major pieces
• has four landing pads located by the bridge
• looks like the top freighter model in this image (colors vary)
You may find it just by pulsing on rare occasions. But if you activate an Emergency Signal Scanner (ESS) in your inventory, you'll ensure one spawns. Once it's detected (see example), exit pulse, land and loot. Be ready with life support recharges, cold protection recharges, and ammo for your weapon of choice.
notification like this?
I havent see it, just pops up saying its a mission while im on expedition. Next step is buy coordinates, wasnt sure if i still needed to
No, its blue and says derelict freighter
well exit pulse and check it out
if it's boardable and a "lost in space" mission pops, then you can probably complete it
Thats it, lost in space i think it said. So thats not the one I need to buy location for metal bones task?
that is the one yes, go run it, remember to get crew manifest and captains log and then turn them in to scrap dealer; also loot crates might get hypno eyes
I randomly bumped into one during aquarius, just like that
yeah it can happen, but not normally
you mean normally, but chances are low?
That worked out great for me. Somehow I was too dumb to take things with me, couldn't find any materials quickly, and now I'm dead.
Ok, so it says land on derelict frieghter, but casnt see it yet
very low
just spawn back up, get your grave contents: dont' waste the 100% charge on anomaly suppressor, get moving to your ship, fix launch thruster+pulse engine, look at your ships inventory it has some items already
for example, that repair kit - use it to repair the damaged subcomponent that's going to make your farm more, or refine
also, remember that we can complete milestones from phases ahead, even though we havent completed all others before them:
fear the sun, phase 4: simply delete 1600 cubic u of terrain, claim milestone to get prepackaged personal refiner and 3 glowing mineral
Also. Put the Anomaly Surpressor in an SC slot.
uila omega is a disonant lush planet. never knew they exist
Yup. I have bases on 2.
Pirate Dissonant Paradise Planets 😄
Thanks for the tips, I'll continue tomorrow, I'm too tired. Good night
good night, have a good rest 🙂 remember, always feel free to ask for tips and help when you get stuck 
you all got this
still plenty of time left for exp to end
good night, have a good rest 🙂
What is the effing secret to killing quads? I had one down to 10% and more drones popped up to repair it. 3 times this has happened. i don't have a para mortar because expedition, i don't have any grenades. All i have is the pulse spitter and boltcaster, neither of which can overpower repairs
well -- you do have access to anomaly MT research NPC; which means that you could have para mortar if you wanted; that said, try hitting them with rocket launcher: it will 1 shot them; quickly land, drop wanted level or save+reload and go again, it will respawn - just don't kill resonator, if large spider was guarding it
Since when do I have the anomaly?
I swear I tried that already
should be there - be sure to have claimed the milestone from leaving starter system
A weapon that does splash damage is helpful for the corrupted spiders as it causes the healers to stop healing the one you are shooting when they get too close and get hit.
well, now that I have the anomaly I have an OP Neutron Cannon
That's what I plan on doing and using.
is there an easy way to summon corrupted sentinels? Because this bountiful planet is giving me zilch
loot a grav ball on a dissonant planet
Oh I have called an anomaly so I can just buy warp? Was trying to do this without too much help 🙂
seems you're back in expedition area of the galaxy at least, since you said you're in the miurai system
I`ll go to SS should be able to go back to last system
check if you can teleport to Noyama-Kaus, or teleport to the latest rendezvous station you've got available to resume progress.
I can tyvm. Sorted now. Can I go to any base if I wanted to? I can go to anomolys fish base, hunger tendrils base etc. But that would be short cuts? Cheesing?
I`m going back to Noyama-Kaus
yeah, you could defnitely use other player bases, and probably some of those will be in rendezvous systems; cheesing, well, that's up to you, is ofc allowed.
Ok my friend, as usual so many thanks. I do get chatty. Still not used to discord completely. I`ll get sorted:)
all good 🙂 i redirected us here because it was a bit busy in -help, but i knew that here wasn't
Yeah np on this end cheers
kill animals or fish.
There's several bases with mordite plants in the starting system
Wow, got so fubared by my starting placing. Arrived on a 10m wide island. Swam the 200m to the next island with my ship, a building, and virtually nothing else. Little bit of carbon but no metal at all. So now I'm swimming to a third island, getting some metal now but there isn't enough dihydrogen to make a new elixir, so I've probably been killed once or twice more while writing this.
I hate to laugh but this happened to several people when the expedition first started
I got initially spawned I think about 10-15u underwater, luckily not too far offshore, but still wasn’t easy to find dihydrogen. Think I also had to swim to another part of land to find more
now isn't that just...realistic.
Am I "locked" out of giving away my items to primary save until I am done with the expedition?
Ah, now I remember why I hated this expedition before as I go and make a cup of coffee and hope my body has finally returned to the ground by the time I come back and sit down.
I hate this expedition, but I insanely love the reward
oof. damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Has anyone else noticed there’s a machine at Planetary archives that shuts down the boundary breach?
Is it like the Sentinel Pillar computer?
Wait just realized it’s an Anomaly Seal someone put at a base, that was in an archive. Sneaky
Do you need the bones and the hypnotic eyes for anything?
just for completing the milestones
Thanks
Does it make a difference in which galaxy I do the expedition?
you will start in a speceific system no matter what
doesnt matter where your normal character is
Ok thx
how do I survive this
basically, keep dodging and running and killing them - this milestone pairs well with others, such as collect ancient bones or kill 64 boundary horrors
anomaly sup at 0% doesn't mean instant death
ohh
bro this game is glitched I dug myself a hole and they’re shotting me trough the stione
yeah, ruthless
get out of there and start killing them
feel free to post a screenshot of MT inventory, in case you feel you could use some tips
how do I get storm crystals
locate a planet that has Activated minerals on it (like activated cadmium or activated copper for example): that means that the planet will have extreme weather conditions, and potentially have storm crystals.
storm crystals are only farmable during storm conditions (as the name implies), which can go crazy: make sure you either have proper hazard shield modules relevant to the type of weather, and/or build a little shelter or use your ship to recover
@mellow agate , @lone needle check the pinned posts here, and this one more specific for exp16 redux milestones #nms-expedition message
i tend to scout from the air for bigger clusters - using photo mode and fog=0%
i make sure i've got plenty of launch fuel left ofc, because it's going to be "land next to a cluster, exit and loot all as quick as possible, get back in ship", repeat as many times as needed
side note: lush biome planet (star bulb on resource list), even if it does have act <stellar metal> on resource list, wont ever have storm crystals: they're not true extreme weather planets, even if sometimes HUD indicates "extreme storm" on them
oh i did not know that, ty.
never seen one tbh lol i usually just go straight to the cold or hot asf planets for that
anytime; yeah, those can be outright ignored when searching for SC
basically, we need "extreme" above anomaly sup (or hazard prot in non-exp16) to be there, even when there's no storm
that's a true extreme weather, so to speak
how did you get my employee review??
I think this expedition is pretty tough but not as tough as when I first tried it the first go around
Thank you so much, u saved me entire expedition fr
glad we could help! i'm sure you're exagerating a little bit, you did all the leg work! have fun :))
Good afternoon. I am doing the Corrupted expedition, all is well.. but for some reason I can not find a second Corrupted Quadruped anywhere on the Corrupted Planet I am on. I've been looking for about two hours now, killed sentinels, those "mining" sentinels, the tiny corrupted spiders, but I can't find a second Quadruped anywhere. I've tried on foot, in my ship slowly.. with networking on and off. Is there a trick I am missing?
Ah. I found a message about this topic from Gunter
ok. looting a gravitino ball did it 🙂
I didn't expect the corrupted quadruped would show up while fighting the big mech, I stopped fighting before that happened
I was chiecking out a guide that suggests grabbing dihydrogen jelly from a merchant at the space station? All merchants just sell mods don’t they? I don’t see anyone that would sell jelly
some trade terminals or pilots might have it for sale; also, dismantling geo cannon upgrade modules drops 1 jelly per module
I didn’t know pilots sold things, cool
woo. finished the expedition. That was a lot of fun 🙂 It'd been a while since I did one
They really know how to get people playing again
Heya folks! Anyone know where i can find some phosphorus for the fishing? I’m really struggling haha
I bought some from a random ship/trader. Took a while to find one though.
Ah- so should I just pulse through space until I have one shoe up then?
Just talk to the NPC ships that lands on stations/trade outputs - you can trade with those.
Ah! Thank you! Completely forgot about that lol
It’s been a while…
hehe I know the feeling, I just started again and haven't played since 2018 or something 🙂
Yeah, I’ve only started again recently haha
I’ll give that a go, see how I do. Appreciate the help!
Any time 🙂
at what point can i get to the anomoly?
I'm assuming you can get to the Anomaly after having taken a portal, possibly. Take this with a grain of salt as I haven't started the expedition yet, but you normally get access to the Anomaly after having warped the first time
I've understood that one shouldn't generally have access to warping in this expedition, though
if you click on log, and you see the anomaly quest click on it the anomaly should show up on yor quick select menu i think you need to do 1 portal first
DuDe the reward for the expedition is insane no spoilers tho
Tips for the arachnid quest?
This seems really tough but maybe buying some upgrades is needed
i am a new player, i only did the redux of the 14th and 15th expedtion, i remember getting to the anomoly only in the end of the 14th and in the start of the 15th
so its kind of confusing
No. the Anomaly has been available after the first warp in almost all expeditions, 14 and 15 absolutely gave access to the Anomaly after the first warp. The only point with expedition 16 is that you don't get access to warping by normal means, and thus my assumption is that the first system change (through portalling) has the same effect.
Where exactly can I find anomalous fish? Do I need anything special to catch them? Struggling with that mission, and I’ve heard you need spicy chum, but I can’t get any phosphorus… so I’m pretty much stuck lol
must say "haunted worlds" in text, no bait needed
check pinned post #nms-expedition message for known locations
this helpped me tremendously last night had them caught within minuets plus i believe its in the system of rendezvous 3 it's called oglegk 3
look at your milestones
what am i suppose to do?
what does the mission hint say you need to do
-#
to view info below, enable embeds
most likely, havent crafted right blood elixir
craft elixirs when told to, use them when asked to
have mp disabled
when you switch back to your main save from the expidition the quicksilver stays or does stay or does it come with you?
started from existing save, currencies merge back into it on finish
i have 6/7 completed
thank you
7th is to activate the protal
what milestone do you have selected, what does its mission hint say you need to do
you need to have the right kind of blood on you, be at the marked portal by the elixir of quicksilver
beyond the boundry : use a protol to travel to the rendezvous point
that's not the hint
this is the hint
force cycle till you see what it wants you to do to register and progress
each breach boundary milestone from each phase has a specific blood elixir to craft to offer the marked portal
only the milestone from phase 1 will ask you to drink the crafted blood
Claim the rewards for the milestones
hopefully the hint got them on the right path
That should give you the glyphs for the portal
but they don't need any
they're getting that because they havent progressed the milestone as requested
iow -- portal isn't working as it should
should be getting this, not a normal portal prompt
Ah
let's confirm if they got it now. @misty kite , all good now?
phase 3 les gooo
I hope to god I am not glitched out but I have a severe issue where I am glitching in a direlet fraighter. When going around I am floating in space when I shoot I am visible. If this happens again am I able to collect tainted metal any other way?
You got this!
i know i do but i can't find a infested planet
theres like none in my system
Use the portals
A lot of people put bases on them - that is how I found mine
im in the phase 3 place
portal teleporter
the thing is theres no infested things
check the pins..
i've never experienced this issue, but i always trigger my own DF runs and always have mp disabled. did you trigger the Df mission yourself via emergency signal scanner, away from any planet?
The emergency signal scanner from the scrap dealer
did you pulse towards empty space to trigger it?
or did it trigger close to a planet
and again, do you have mp enabled or disabled
either way, exiting ship on a derelict freighter doesn't update restore point, so if you reload that, you'll be back to the last time you exited your ship (not on a freighter you don't own either) before that
I was scared I’d loose the tainted metal I obtained so I went back to my ship summoned the anomoly
Now i wanna go back to that freighter but it’s fixed 😂
my god, that xeno colony
i land
and in 5 seconds sentinals are on me
im getting chased by sentinals, boundry horrors and those tenticle things
turning in crew manifest and captains log to scrap dealer will get you the 400 tainted metal needed
boundary horrors should not be on you as you land, if you came from space: you'd have a 100% charge on anomaly suppressor, they only get aggressive when anomaly suppressor charge is at 50% or less
idk there was something on me
about aggressive sentinels - if you haven't installed it yet, i strongly recommend installing the prebuilt cloaking device you can get from a different milestone
that said, if you know how to melee jetpack, breaking away from an aggressive sentinel scan is super easy
i sorta know how to melee jetpack and i have the cloaking device
but once the cloaking device runs out they get on me again
iow, if an aggressive sentinel is coming at you, you still have a few seconds to get away -- if you got cloaking device, then just activate it, turn your back on the sentinel and run away from it for a bit
they get on me again
only if you didn't gain enough distance from the pursuing sentinel, or only if you gained too much distance from the pursuing sentinel, that the game is allowed to spawn "another" (it has despawned the first) on top of you, giving you the impression that they're always on you
ok
ah ok
aggressive sentinel planets arent that scary
btw, same thing for dropping wanted levels
Check the pins please
ok thanks finally found it! I was looking but missed it
Is it possible to go on the Nexus mission from the expedition even though we don't have a hyperdrive? Seems like it often uses a hyperdrive to get you to a place where the Nexus mission is.
Yes
Interesting, so does it just send me to one of the local planets with the activated indium? At least I think that's what I saw for the mission. I noticed a lot of those collectors around on the expedition system planets assuming I can just get it from those. Though back outside of the expedition I swore it said something like collect faecium which I thought was odd. LOL
It will send you to a certain system, even if you don't have a hyperdrive
Cool, and guessing it'll send me back when I leave the anomoly like normal.
And back to the system yotur were in before when you finish
Mine does this all of the time. It says I have to collect one thing and once I start the mission it's totally different. Ugh... Lol
Mine was faecium. 500 of it. Gave up after spending half an hour getting 100
Weird Yeah, wasn't going to do 500 faecium. 😂
Yea, that's a lot of crap... Lol
Probably some way to get it another way I don't know about as I'd learned some tricks from speed runners for other things.
I already had some, so shortly after landing I got the prompt for where to drop it off.
There's almost always a way to get what you need without actually having to go get it.
Yep
I'm planning on going back in after breakfast, but I don't remember where I left off... 
guess I'll find out
Indeed... I mostly use the Wiki, but I also have the 'Assistant for No Man's Sky' installed on my iPad. It comes in handy when playing via Steam so I don't have to tab out of the game.
These two have all of the refining recipes so you can see how to make what you need.
me aggressively tabbing out of NMS very frequently
not always to look things up but
After this expedition I'm going to have to do a space wandering vacation. No main story, not many quests, just... wandering
Meanwhile I need to invest in cold protection so I can get storm crystals from this blizzardy planet
"extreme wind event detected" never mind no thank you
Me in EXTREME WIND EVENT
Wheeeeee
brave XD thankfully I've just figured out how to stabilize myself without dumping my entire jetpack
Actually, question- does hazard protection even work in this exp? I've heard conflicting reports that it helps, but also that it doesn't because it all just goes into boundary juice
Before I spend the nanites... XD
this has suddenly happened to my ship devices, is that normal for this expedition? probably just going to reload
for me it fixed itself after some time of being outside ship
Yeah, a quick reload fixed it, but it's kind of on brand for Cursed too XD
does expedition progress affect normal save in any way? like owned ships, items, multitools
this game is so unpredictable it's fun :D
starting from existing save? items, if you take items from the primary save to put in the expedition terminus. at the end, items you choose to bring back, or copy back; also currencies merge back to existing save on finish. those are the only things that affect primary save
so it's not worth upgrading ship/multitool class and mods?
when you finish, you can copy gear back, which would include any progress done on them -- cargo inventories are ignored, but tech inventories and stats are copied as is
all you might need to do before copying them from expedition after finish is to scrap existing copies

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.

basically what you saw in expedition terminus after starting expedition run, but in reverse
ahhhh so it also costs nanites
or wait, is this the start of expedition?
or does both require nanites? i didn't copy anything into expedition
that's expedition terminus in expedition yes; both require nanites
copy, either one way or another, always costs nanites
do class/mods affect the price?
iirc tech inventory size and installed tech can affect it yes
If I recall, my S-Class ship always costs 2800 Nanites and my S-Class Multi-tool always costs 2200. This is across multiple saves both on Xbox and PC (Steam).
Did you know that Discoveries are the same on your Primary Save and the Expedition Save you started from it? This means you can re-claim Nanites earned for discovering all Fauna on planets in both saves.
Above screen shot taken about 5 minutes after starting an Expedition.
ohh that's very good. though i don't have many discoveries because i started expedition pretty early into normal game xD

Here's a link to the Wiki showing where you can get Nanites as well as what you can refine into Nanites just below it: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Nanite_Cluster#Source
I found a whole bunch of curious deposit/runaway mould balls and soon I shall probably have more nanites than I'll ever need (for this expedition anyway)
Thanks to someone's base marking the location. People really made sure to mark good stuff this exp

Does hazard protection help in this exp? though I probably could just get it anyway lolol
TWELVE MINUTES to process all that hoo boy
New PC, new expedition, lets go.
Well, old expedition but... you know.
Oh right, this is my favorite expedition!
Reading about other people's underwater starts makes me feel a lot better about starting halfway up a gigantic cliff that was just steep enough to not be able to stand on, so I was immediately sliding/falling down. I managed to not panic and react quickly enough to avoid falling much before I started to jet up (which I basically had to do because my starship was up on top) but my oxygen was down to about 25% by the time I got up to the top.
I had a water start the first time this expedition ran, was terrible at the start.
This one I started yesterday I spawned in hearing water lapping up on a shore and thought... Oh no not again! Luckily it was only me standing next to a lake this time. 😎
sounds on brand for this expedition though...
yeah, I was wondering if the underwater start was a guaranteed thing for this expedition, just because it was so thematically fitting
bro in the beginning of this expedition i nearly died to the squids because i spawned in a big ahh hole and had to fix my ship 😭
I was able to jetpack to the surface and to my ship buuuut
Thankfully there was also a cave right by my starship, so I got a lot of my early oxygen from some underground hazardous flora, but I never got above a low few hundred oxygen on this one. I actually bought/used a bunch of life support gel or I probably would have been near zero basically the whole expedition.
There was like. no dihydrogen near my ship zone. made crafting that first elixir a doozy
I had a serious horror movie moment in the beginning, where I was trying to outrun the jellyfish, and within a foot of my ship, tripped on a pit (a small pit but in a horror movie I would've been a goner)
In this house we love an emergent narrative
afaik, only underwater helps, to a degree - in terms of letting you stay underwater for longer, but anomaly sup still drains ofc. about the other hazard types, they simply don't show up on the HUD as they normally do, and don't get drained at all - they don't affect anomaly supressor charge either
🫡 I'll save the nanites then (though for what aside from tool/ship copying, not sure...)
I went ahead and just committed to killing 64 of those jellyfish at the beginning (while searching for oxygen) and it helped make me much more comfortable with the whole mechanic boundary protection mechanic, and I got the milestone for edge of glass by accident in the process without understanding what it was. It was really managing the oxygen and then spending carbon on more ammo when I ran out after I foolishly had spent some/most of the little carbon I had to make pellets to befriend a butterfly during that whole extended battle.
that's funny XD "I was tripping and being pursued by murder jellyfish, but I HAD to stop and befriend this butterfly"
You can do that though? I thought the butterfly types would be in the class of "it flies, can't make it a companion"
Sometimes life shows you the important choices on the way
give me BIRD CONTENT, Hello Games
No, large butteflies are rideable
butterflies aka moths
ohhhh just for riding. neat
can use target sweep while riding a pet
They're in that "low flier" category that you can make into companions

Also just staying underground out of reach works
I noticed this because isn’t one of the milestones to dig through terrain for some distance?
So you can just stay underground to achieve the 0% boundary time
yeah, there's one milestone to delete dirt yeah
it's a bug! (Apollo the grey parrot voice) (between this and the actual touching purple, I'm convinced someone on the HG dev team is an internet bird fan)
(personally i do ancient bones+180s at low boundary+64 kills in one trip)
Someone else showed off a "snailephant" like this earlier...
they're cute
I'm trying to get the storm crystals on the same planet as my ancient bones, but the wind events keep making that tricky
oh. 64 kills in one trip? which milestone is this
^
Those wind events are dangerous
Almost died to them in the expedition first time around
in one trip to a planet, meaning i'll work on 3 milestones at the same time
When I'm feeling fussy I hang around 50% boundary and beat up the jellies, but I don't think any of that would qualify as One Trip
OH
okay.
whew.
nothing like being flung into the air, but away from the horrors. I took the hint
yep. I still don't like them even though I've survived like. 3
i love that rush feeling coming in when i hear their sfx coming closer and closer and i can't see anything
run run run run
bahahah 😅
I just wait till the my character starts flailing and then tap the jetpack...
if i can see them, i often melee jetpack into them
slightly to one of their "sides"
manage to "do it right", you'll get even more momentum on melee jetpack, straight forward
I'm so glad refiners don't have durability meters. I feel like refining the mold haul would have worn it out 5 times over
hehe
Maybe I can actually copy my multitool and ship over... I kind of want to copy this explorer back to main to salvage it for parts, if only because I like explorers and their orbs and looking like a grasshopper
Just wish HG would fix it so we can use the refiners of other people
You can on Switch, because there is no multiplayer so it means there is something about multiplayer system that is preventing us from user refiners in other player bases
fascinating...
I uh. may have also bought NMS for the Switch just for chill roaming around time when I can't be on the laptop for whatever reason
Huh. I didn't know people could put boundary stabilizer things in their bases (unless they're hazard protection things and they "convert" in this expedition or something)
I did this and didn't regret it at all. Plays great, and it's lovely to fall asleep playing NMS just fishing or base building
Is it possible to bookmark other people's bases at all? totally not me eyeing this base for whenever I need nanites thanks to the mold balls...
we able to get to the anomoly with this expedition?
i dont remember
cool
feel poor without my cosmetics
uh normally you'd drop and claim a base computer near by/as close as possible - that said, it's often the case in high player traffic systems that a base doesn't remain on the uploaded bases list for long
I nearly died to the same wind event TWICE. turns out the wind doesn't necessarily clear when the storm does and neither do immediately
uggghhh let me get back to my stuff 😭
okay uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh well. I can't find my grave without the hecking horrors coming for me and nearly killing me every time this is BAD
have mercy. I am never going back to that planet again if I can help it
nuts. I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to drink the second blood elixir
I made the same mistake
Also some of these planets are rediculous. THe squid are trying to kill you and the sentinels and the tendrils
Oh yeah that was painful
Does anyone know if there’s still a possible way to get old expedition rewards like this one?
Me over here pointedly not making any bases because every planet has SOMETHING wild about it...
If you're on PC you can save edit, IDK how that works though, you'll have to look it up, otherwise no
PS5 
hey so, for expeditions, do words learned carry over if you haven't learned them in the base save?
No
could probably get it from service bot/season reward unlocker
Where exactly would I go for that?
So it’s just a bot that joins the game or something?
yeah; check the website, join its discord home server for more details
or just wait for the devs to rerun exp12 sometime in the future, always possible since it's a popular one
For some reason I didn't realize the switch version had expeditions too... Do I really want to do this twice, lolol
It's tempting so that I have the boundary herald somewhere else but also: no
(not yet anyway)
@vital vine
No gifs in this channel please
i way yesterday years old when i found out that the fluids refine in to living slime, living slime refines to runaway mold which refines to nanites. by Accident, i was just doing SCIENCE i Facepalmed for every 700 hours i just haphazardlu just rid my self of those things.
sorry sir
I'm firmly convinced that people who apologize to bots will be spared during the AI apocalypse.
FYI, the only things missing from Switch are settlements and actual multiplayer.
Expeditions, the Online Discovery Services and base sharing are all fully accessible on Switch.
whats this exp's rewards
I forgot what was/wasn't missing - thank you! I think I'll wait to see if I have it in me to do this one twice XD
The confusion stems from the fact that there was a lot more missing when the Switch port launched. Initially, we didn't have the Nexus or capes either. But later updates added those back (Fractal added the offline Nexus and Echos added capes). So be wary of trying to look up Switch differences online as it might be outdated.
Hilariously, expeditions became accessible on Switch before the offline Nexus was added. 2022 redux ran on Switch before Fractal.

oop
ive been system hopping andb been through 3 pirate dreadnought battles but no infested planets
getting on my nerves
ususally dont ask the server about planet locations but holy shit
felt like i got a pretty good freighter blindhopping 43 systems
There was one in one of the rendezvous systems. No jump drive needed.
"xeno-colony" is a lush biome infested subtype synonym
infested paradise, the nest, -- those too
would be able to recognize the highlighted as infested
thats all i got
yeah, there's lots of stuff
this is gonna take a while ):
remember fish must have "haunted worlds" in text description to count -- and that's a bug that's been happening, game showing notification for the previous drop

am on idwo omega
i got the sentinel bug
ill relog to make that go away
same 3 sentinels following me for the past 3 planets
can NOT catch a break with these guys
worked just fine
oh
the sentinet bug just doesnt let you look at hints
damn
why it suddenly not letting me take my own screenshots
i dont wanna keep going to the steam album
Hey, if I find a pointer to a ship from the original run of the expedition will it still be there in the redux?
i'm sorry, not understanding the question: can you please try to rephrase?
"from the original run" is confusing me
i think that what you mean is "a ship that was found in the original exp16 run"
"will it still be there in exp16 redux"
- exp16 redux isn't running in the same systems as exp16 original run
- once you've unlocked the glyph set in exp16 redux, you could portal to that system from exp16 original run, get the ship, and teleport back to exp16 redux rdv station for example
Someone has a base on top of a portal on the spawn world that is causing it to bug out T^T
Try turning Multiplayer off and Report the base. Save and reload Restore Point to get things resolved.
if you have it enabled, options/network settings/disable multiplayer, then save+reload. then quick menu/scroll right, report base if still there
🤔 I was worried about not being able to copy my ship over, but now that I think about it, it won't be that helpful because we're not really space fighting or warping here
this freaking expedition really just is DRUGS. bottoms up, time for another shot of quicksilver
this sounds like it HURTS!!!
(sighs in migraine sufferer)
even down to waking up somewhere unfamiliar! (disclaimer: I've never actually done any of this, but this seems like how it would be)
Remember kids (and others), drink responsibly (or when the game tells you to)
so if I'm reading properly, you can catch anomalous fish on the planet you land on after breach two, and there's a xeno-colony in elsewhere for the worm milestone, right?
right
can also catch anomalous fish in the starter planet
I see you're probably supposed to worm hunt first, but I smuggled my main MT over here so I can just. Fish.
that's okay, any order there will do
what does it mean if a save beacon icon is red? just spotted that for the first time
save beacons and base computers can be recolored, which affects the hud marker color as well
oooo.
yeah can be pretty useful sometimes
time to place bets on what'll get me first: aggressive sentinels, bio horrors, worms, or boundary jellies (or Something Else, like tripping over a hazardous plant)
The red walking things aren't the ones I need for a future milestone, right?
there might be a sentinel boundary building on that planet - possibly another player base marked one? maybe worth checking out, up to you
nope, you'll need corrupted sentinels (large spiders) for that one
I think someone marked one with their base but I didn't understand quite what that meant
I see there's... harvestable sentinel pillar things around this base?
there's a terminal at the base of the pillar building: interacting with it has several options but one of them is "shutdown planetary sentinels" - this shutdown state is planet wide and persist until player reloads or leaves the system
good to know, I'll look around so I don't have to worry about that at least
yeah, that should help, one less thing to consider
this base is literally built right around the pillar. neat.
I love shooting worms and then flying onto a tree or "tree" and watching the horrors get confused and leave
also, free gravitino balls!
Hey guys, how do I reach the 2nd rendezvous? I just went through the 1st portal and the mission guide is saying to craft another quicksilver elixir to reveal a portal even though I'm already at the portal
Or is it because I haven't claimed hewn from light rewards?
Is there anything you can do to make the anomalous fish more likely to show up? I've put some bait on but. eh
Not really. It's all RNG. Mealworm bait will help a little though
Bait blocks fishing up trash. So if you're targeting fish, use bait.
and do we need to keep the fish we get, or can we sell them?
Nah, just sell or release.
very good
Release for nanites might be more useful.
oh right, good idea (I was selling because faster/I forgot)
....but I always take a fusion igniter into expeds with me to sell for 15 mill. So I haven't dealt with money issues in an expedition for... a while lol
Hey I'm trying to collect the boundary herald but it's saying my inventory is full
What do I do?
Do you already have 12 ships? 12 is the max.
I have one ship
If you’re inside your ship it will tell you that. Land or dock at a station and try it?
Noted. I have never been in my ship while claiming exped milestones.
If you talk to the quicksilver merchant he also has prizes for you once you complete your expedition.
I like how this ship kinda looks like the millennium falcon
Oh yep! I did the 4th one
I don't normally get seasick, but something about the roar and motion of the waves unsettles me 
Missed my chance to stare at the night sky for 60 seconds, so I'm fishing instead...
I may be able to finish the whole Expedition tomorrow. Then I’m not sure whether to switch to the new ship or not
I kind of like the Sentinel Interceptor I’m in and have outfitted it well.
But I guess I should at least try whatever the new ship is
I'm attached to the iron vulture
Or, as I have it, the Iron Pigeon...
the jellyfish's shadow messes this up a bit but. HOO-EE
um guys I'm a liiiittle busy here
Anyone know the name of the song for serenity reclaimed (when you look at the night sky)?
this exp is very "my eyes will fall out if I keep playing but I can't stop"
Does the boundary herald need sentinel parts, or is it a normal ship?
Boundary Herald is an Explorer type ship, meaning normal ship technology
Is there an in-game comprenshive list of what planets count as certian ones. Example Exotic....
I though Toxic Anomoly would be one of them just by the sound, but its not
I eventually found, one but wanted to know if there was a quicker way
try !FAQ-Biomes command in #bot-spam , Milestones sometimes describe planets in a weird or unintuitive way
Exotic creature usually refers to creatures found on Weird biome planets for example, but exotic planets refers to biomes RED, GREEN and BLUE iirc
Thank you
After completing an expedition, do your bases get deleted/become invisible to other players?
if you started from another save your bases are merged into your primary save, so players in the expedition won't see them anymore I assume
If you started new save for the expedition then your save transitions into normal mode and I assume expedition players wont be able to visit your bases
in both cases your bases arent deleted, your gamemode changes
Kind of a shame, I wanted them to remain helpful
Ok for those of you who are in rendezvous 1. There's no need to craft another quicksilver elixir. Seems like the portal is available for consumption of elixir of blood once you have completed all the rendezvous 1 objectives
Reminder: If you need Quicksilver, the weekend Nexus mission is active. You can do this weekend Nexus mission in both the Expedition save as well as the Primary Save you started from, thus earning 3600 Quicksilver for the weekend once the Expedition is complete and the currencies merge back to your Primary Save. If everyone gets the same weekend mission, the current one has you collect around 500 Faecium. If you already have it in your inventory, you will get directions to the drop off point shortly after landing and getting out of your ship on the mission planet. Here's a link to the Wiki for sources in case you need Faecium: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Faecium#Source
You can use the Options menu to 'Return to primary save' and then use the Terminal behind the Nexus to 'Resume Expedition'. I hope this is helpful!
People really spam down the comms balls around every important location huh
My first try doing an expedition with multiplayer on is not goin well T^T
The mission is collect 757 activated copper for me 🙂
guys I cant progress on the endless hunger quest there is no planet with them in my system, to enter another system I need a hyperdrive which I cant craft? How do I progress
omg I'm so glad I finished it. The first time this expedition was offered I developed tendonitis doing it and couldn't finish! Just completed it, and I love this ship so much! This was also the first one I tried doing from an existing save. I wish I could say I loved doing it all, but I think this is the first expedition I actually hated completely. My wrist is twinging. I did freak out a little when I was done and it wouldn't let me collect the ship, saying my inventory was full. It wasn't at all, but I figured it out and went to the anomoly. I exchanged the ship there. Then went back to the last planet, created a base, and then the game offered to let me have the ship in exchange for the new ship I already had. I imagine this is a bit of a bug. Kinda funny, and stressed for a few minutes after lol
check the pinned messages for which system and planet.
Comm Balls need to die
wish I had know this before starting the expedition lol.
ig i'll know better for 17
I had this happen in my main save, so I don't think it's an expedition specific thing
This is the first time I'm about to end an expedition started from an existing save. Other than transfer over items/tech, is there anything I should do before ending the expedition?
Like, should I pack up modules from the Boundary Herald or do I get those when I buy the ship in my main save? Any tips? 🙂
When you unlock a blueprint for craftable base part during the expedition, does that part become available across your account?
Was just doing a mission on a derelict freighter and somehow unlocks a base part that I can craft

are there no hyperdrives at all this expedition or are they later on?
no hyperdrive in this epxedition, zero
damn, i was gonna farm nanites by exploring in expedition but i guess that's a no-go lol. cheers
Cheers!
You can pay nanites to transfer your starship into the expedition
Provding your starship has a hyperdrive
oh so the anomaly's still there?
After the first portal you can summon the anomoly
my plans haven't been ruined, excellent! cheers!
What happens to base building parts unlocked during expedition missions?
Will they be available across my account like other base parts claimed at the qs shop?
base parts unlocked from normal milestones/from anomaly? not unlocked account wide
I unlocked a base part during a derelict ship mission whilst on the expedition
save wide
note: remember that an expedition run started from existing save still counts as a different save
iow, they won't be unlocked in your main save, i.e. not unlocked account wide
nothing to be sorry about 🙂
It was this part
ahuh
part of this set
all can be unlocked from derelict freighter crates
Oh nice, I wasn't aware. Looks like I'll be doing a lot more of those missions then!
I just ran into a fellow traveler that said they got this ship from a planet in the expedition. (It looks like the Starborn Runner!) Anyone know if this can be found in this expedition and perhaps where? 🙂
they must have meant in a past expedition
runner cannot spawn in the wild
and this is the Starborn Runner right?
yep
Alright thanks bk 🙂
Which planet has the hungering tendrils?
Also, this expedition has been really stressful, especially the early game
the "Xeno-Colony" planet iirc

Noyama-Kaus I… Ewend III. Thanks.
thanks for that pinned message really helped a lot. finally done with e16!

Hi its me again^^
I had the problem that I didn’t bring any materials on the expedition. I repaired the starting device, but I can’t find any materials anywhere nearby to repair the drive. What could I do?
going to have to be more specific about:
- "starting device"?
- "drive"?
post screenshots if needed
sry chatgpt did some shit wort ^^
i assume that you meant launch thruster and pulse engine but
feel free to post screenshots even if game is not displayed in english
yeah meant this 2 XD
look at your ship's cargo inventory: do you have a repair kit?
i had one and used it on the launch thruster
what mats do you need now?
craft them
click on a free cargo slot
find hermetic seal and metal plating on the list
to get condensed carbon, you could dismantle rocket launcher from your ship for 100 copper and 50 cond carbon
how do you fish?
@vapid mulch if you havent yet, strongly recommend doing phase 2 fear the sun milestone

How to get started with Fishing
- Unlock Fishing Rig multi-tool tech from the respective NPC in the Space Anomaly, then install it.
-# Note: Specialized bait crafting recipes will also be taught when unlocking Fishing Rig. - Goto any planet with underwater fauna.
- Optional: In the Multi-Tool inventory, cursor over Fishing Rig, press Apply Bait if you wish to use a bait to fish with.
- Aim at the water surface, and primary fire.
- When line gets fully stretched and colors Green, press and hold primary fire.
Caught fish is dropped as an item in inventory.

do you get to keep the units and nanites?
this phase i finished
this is the problem
how do i do serenity reclaimed?
why though? no rocks nearby?
charge anomaly suppressor to 100%, goto a planet's night side, look up at the night sky for 60s -- look at the milestone hint
where are you exactly
oki figured it out
i mean.. that looks like a huge island
I’m sorry for being so clueless.
did you grab the rusted metal from the green crate?
there's probably a green crate near the waypoint
yes i did
refine it to dust
nothing to be sorry about btw
spawn points on islands/underwater are tough to deal with, gotta pull all the tricks
yep, final stretch
do the missions get harder?
depends on the objective
normally you've been upgrading your char and gear just enough
by this point, nothing should be a problem
aracnophobia milestone is probably going to be the one to give you the most work
that said, rocket launcher 1 shots them
if nothing else, there's that
ok
