Ah I switch to none
.
This a tutorial with images
Should I make a copy save before I play it?
Id recommedn making a copy before changing the beta yes
I am at the phase 3 portal and it does not let me input the elixir, it just asks for a sequence. What do I do? How do I move on to the next phase?
You dont NEED to badly but changing versions can mess the game
How? Because it's already updating
Not taking long to finish
Its glitched for everyone, solution is literally right above we were just talking about it hahaha
Oh! Okay lemme look.
Dw then
Usually the people name it exotic or creature scan. You might be a different system than the one the game put me in for that part.
The workaround only works for pc
Some said there's is low chance of risk
I am on PC
I did lol
Okay then u good to go š
Making backups is just safe practise, its not TOO important
So I need to go on experimental to fix the bug?
Its just good habbits
Found only one planet that had an exotic creature.
Yeah i am seeing bases named for deep water fishing
Correct yes
Man I hope this experimental help me finish the two phases
Thank you!
Mainline is bugged so go on experimental and stay on it till you finish
As there are more bugs ahead :)
Itās almost like the devs didnāt playtest the new expedition.
Managed to get the elixir for the final portal while still stuck in Phase 3. I will wait until the proper time to make it, as building it too early might be part of the reason why it itās bugged.
Wdym? What issue or bug for phase 4 of the expedition "the cursed"?
So Iām one mission away from portal 3 , gotta catch fish now - gonna wait for fix for sure ( ps5 pro psvr2 )
They did test 16 its a old expedition
Its just theyve updated the game majorly mid expedition
Worlds 2 is a major engine change lol
Same like on phase 3 to get to the portal using a blood lol
Wasnāt this bug in the original expedition, I read it was?
I got to phase 4 on PS5 today.
I mean that was before I put the exper ver
Aghhhh I might go finish other missions if possible
You got passed phase 3 ?
Your pulling my chain brahh š¤£
Yeah. Now I am looking for exotic creatures
Apparently I might have issues completing phase 4 since I been reading more portal issues ahead
Already did the exotic part because I had to go through portal so I cheated lol
Bro clip that ish and post it here and show the exact movements so we can copy lol
I have a bad feeling they wonāt get the fix out in time for consoles.
I had to force myself to get to phase 4 system to work on the missions
Yo bro , how did you do it ?
Yoooooooo
I just did the quest? I thought it was fixed lol
Yooooo share the secret to your success
Ahhhhhhhhh you should do the lottery like right now , luck is your friend
You didnāt make the elixir early right? That might be part of the reason why itās bugged.
Definitely buy a few scratch offs bro
š¤£
Nope I made it today
This is crazy , he managed to achieve total spiritual awakening
Open some cs2 cases while you're at it
The other two portals don't care when you make the elixir, I don't think there's an 'early'
Then cursed jellyās donāt help much when itās bugged to be real wit ya , or the sentinels attacking you left right and centre
Did they fix the portals not working in expedition?
So true , yeah the third just says talk to the hand
Not yet.
Trying to watch the stars , at 59.9 seconds the sun comes out or a storm kills progress š¤£š¤£
LMAOO, that happened to me twice, make sure your anomaly protection is at full
Or else the sky will start spinning and screw it up
I should probably made a base called Phase 4 1 exotic creature at this point
š¤£
Make sure not to get bumped by a creature or it will reset the timer š¦
𤣠yeah that happened a few ..the stars one was the toughest so far especially in vr š¤£
anybody have the glyphs to the first rondevous point?
Oh that would make me sick if I had it playing in VR
If you go to the stargate in anomaly you can warp their easy
Guys, I'm on exper and the message pop asking for the elixir, so yes so far it's working
Yeah it does a little , gas giants are the worse in vr , they look amazing and huge but they are overwhelming lol
Pc or ps5 ?
Cool , canāt wait to pass this portal
PC and only one way to find out
Reminder I got the blood ready
I did it!!!
The exper working!
I'm gonna do same for phase 4
It's working so far, I'm on phase 4
And gonna finish phase 4 immediately
Do we think this patch will be made public today?
can't already completed the expedition
Nvm. Iāll just made a new save file in the expedition
OMG this exper it's working so well!
You guys need to do this, it's the only way to do so!
im sorry, whats exper ?
Experimental version
Is that accessible on console or pc only ?
PC on Steam, but not sure on consoles
pc only
For peeps who are on Steam and desperately need to finish the expedition pronto, use the experimental version
5.51 was experimental yesterday, I'd bet on this version being made public later today or tomorrow.
Oops. I forgot to switch off the experimental branch before claiming rewards on my main save. Let my sacrifice not be forgotten, fellas!
What?
...nevermind :p
Fluff!
š works for me too
OK i made the Phase 4 (Exotic Creatures Here) Base and uploaded it
So if we're on console we've just gotta wait for the patch to do the expedition?
wish I checked pins, broken phase 3 portal
Yeah but they've got it fixed on steam in the experimental branch so hopefully they update the main game soon
So if I am on steam it is fixed?
only if you switch to experimental version
I switched to exp version, and it deactivated the 3rd portal milestone (reset it)
Does that progress carry over?
How do I get my save out of experimental mode
Fall back to public or wait until experimental goes public
I went back to public but it said my save was from a newer version
ah ok that issue ... I would stay in experimental until it goes public
Ya Iāll wait lol
How do I use the experimental build? It's not in the betas in steam
To play in Experimental, right-click on No Man's Sky from the Steam library page and select "Properties".
Among the available tabs will be the "BETAS" tab.
Enter
3xperimental
in the textbox and press "CHECK CODE", then select it from the dropdown menu.
thanks
Hey guys if anyone interested (bc I asked this before and no one knew the answer), sorry if this is obvious
When you revert the version back to the public one after you complete the expedition and go back to your save, you won't be able to load it. Mine is telling me this:
IDK maybe there's a way to fix this but be aware anyway
I guess you did run that expedition from your Main save
yeah
Than you need to wait until experimental goes public... guess it would happen next day
Yeah, most likely I will just go back to experimental now, thanks
anyone else unable to build on experimental
Did anything change with the 3rd Phase Bug?
doing Derelict for Tainted Metal milestone, and I ended up getting the Hypnotic Eyes for the Glassy Stare milestone
Uhhh
I feel very stupid but before I ended the expedition, I switched back to the C class ship to transfer inventory, and I did not switch back to the expedition reward ship. And then I ended expedition. Is it over for me?....
should be able to reclaim from Quicksilver Merchent.. I think
Does anybody know if the third phase bug has been fixed?
oh yeah, thanks!
Nope its bugged for me aswell
If you use the experimental build the expedition is beatable.
in the experimental branch its fixed, but if you switch, you will have to wait for update to play that save on main branch
Not for me.
How long does an update like that usually take?
It should be soon cause this is game breaking in a way.
dunno, ive never used the experimental branch
PC will have it probably tomorrow. For consoles, who knows?
Im on PC so yeah. And im not going to touch my Console Version on the PS4, its a Fire Hazard.
I am on PS5, probably screwed.
Yeah, youre probably have to wait. If there are Game Breaking Bugs, they might hopefully extend the expedition.
Does anyone have a pic of the ship
Is it worth doing the expedition?
And what's good to bring?
I found I only really needed a bunch of nanites to make my life easier. Bring some Tainted Metal to refine and it'll also give you a milestone.
Ps5 is hit or miss apparently. Or i got really lucky
It screwed me.
š¦
Exotic Creature Milestone, got a new big "pet"
Well im not getting the expedition stuff since it wont let me find more ancient bones
Because it just keeps leading me to the same place ive alr seaeched
I had to get in my ship and move to a different part of the planet for it to work
Alr
Towerbeast
how do i leave the beta version for the fix for exp 16
you can run around to a different direction and manually mark burial sites
how da hell can I float for 60 seconds over deep water when the waves keep screwing it up?
Stay on Experimental if you want the fix. But leaving Experimental is as easy as switching to it.
okay but if the new patch actually releases am i just able to download it or do i have to leave from experimental version
When it releases, Iād recommend returning to Public
That's that expedition done
alr when i return ill still have the ship from exp 16 right?
okay ty then imma return
careful
yeah ik haha i just got problems where files gor corrupted very easily so id rather be safe not sorry
don't switch out of experimental before steam public build catches up to it
if you try to, you'll be unable to load your saves

oh yeah just noticed it it says its an older version then imma just switch back till the patch is actually released
So I can't switch yet to regular? Because I just completed the expedition and back to the normal to the station
ty
So I need to wait until the new update come
atm you must stay in steam experimental branch yes
don't worry
you'll be fine.
I just dug a hole in the ocean and floated over it.
Ok got it, so I guess I'm waiting until the update is here so I can switch back
"experimental" sounds a little scary -- but always keep backups of your saves
problem was the waves kept causing me to bob out of the water and stop floating
will the titan exp release when exp 16 ends?
Do you have to be at the surface? Swim down a bit maybe?
How do I transfer nanites through?
I finally got it, while digging the terrain glitched and turned invisible and one spot registered as 200u deep even though it was only about 65u before it glitched
transfer something that turns into Nanites when refined
Transfer something you can break down into Nanites, ex: Tainted Metal
Anyone know how to get around the portal glitch ? I canāt progress after the third breach
I just floated.
Derelict Freighters
if youre on pc you can go into beta version on steam
Am waiting too , so annoying š
so the new experimental doesnt fix it?
Any other way to get tainted metal? Or an alternative
it does they are playing on console prob
Try the experimental version, it's the only way to finish phase 3 through the final
I already done the expedition
Console can't do the expedition?
And honestly, I love the new ship, it's so cool!
Or finish it rather
i am as well, thats why i was asking lol damn i hope theyre quick about it again then cause we got the first patch pretty quick
on xbox that is
The ship it's so inspo on Han Solo ship
nope we cant š¦
dissonant planet
there is some ''weapons outpost'' where you can fin tainted metal in
Are you on console?
If you are, then that's sucks
How has there been no fix?
Steam it's already solved with the experimental version, hopefully the update comes soon this weekend so I can switch back to regular
Go on rub it in š¤£
Hahaha
Why do you learn the elixir of blood recipe multiple times in the milestones??
They should at least extend the expedition for a few days after the fix comes in. Itās extremely unfair that people like me lost time for something completely out of our control.
because theres multiple portals
Yeah they should
I got a question, in phase 3 of the The Cursed Redux Expedition the portal wont let me put in the blood... what can i do?
you play on Console?
no, pc
each has a different Portal Glyph
alr
if you cant wait for patch, switch to Experimental Branch, though when you do you will no longer be able to use that save till the main branch updates
Ok
thanks, il prob just wait till the patch
Yo we all same sitch u ation , well on console no fix
I dont think they will fix it on Console
that sucks, this is like my first expedition to that im doin, not the best start
Noooooooo!
???
Iām only on console
It will be extremely unfair if they donāt fix it on console. If they donāt, it will have just wasted so many peopleās time.
odd bug on Experimental Branch, everything sinks a tad into the ground if it falls, even my exocraft spawns a foot in the ground and is stuck O.o
Bro me 2
I wish I could set an alert up for when a patch is ready
Iām on ps5 and havenāt started the expedition. Donāt bother doing it? Canāt get the ship?
Seems like what everyone is saying
Most people are getting a bug at phase 3.. but some at 4 and 5 also
Iād wait to see if a fix comes out for phase 3
Only takes about 4 hours to complete the whole thing if you stay on task and donāt add out
Can you bring back tamed companions from an expedition?
I am mostly done. I am already halfway done with the milestones in Phase 5. Most of the work I have to do is in Phase 4. Probably just need a few more hours at most to finish.
Gotta be honest Iām just happy I didnāt waste my time these past few days. If console players lose out on an exclusive ship because of hello games mistake, maybe I should delete it. I love the game but wtf. Is hello games a game development company or not?
What an ignorant take. lol
I prefer base game anyway
I am close to deleting this game tbh
I only do expeditions for the ships so it feels like a chore to do expeditions
me too Phase 3 and 4 are completly done, Phase 5 ist half done
It's not perfect, but they have put sooo much effort into making the game better compared to where it started.
how do you get the ship once youve finished the expedition
They've gone above what was promised at launch and they're FIRMLY into "beyond" expectations.
This might be, but its sad that its the same bug that existed years ago
You collect the rewards in the Anomaly.
if i claim it on the expedition did i skrew myself over
I agree it's frustrating. I've spent quite a bit of time on pc and xbox with this.
Was the bug patched?
Forsaken planets have infested in it right?
You can go into experimental mode on Steam and it works there.
But nothing out officially yet.
So when I go the anomoly and try to get the hyperdrive, it says my memory on the blueprint has been lost and I can't buy it either. How do I travel through systems?
Not sure about forsaken, but the ones with colonies do.
Im on xbox,that isnāt possible for me
Oh, yea I'm play on xbox also. I'm hoping they release a patch soon.
they wont patch tbh
š¦ I'm doing the expedition via steam, but all my other clears are on xbox and I still haven't been able to get into cross save, so it's annoying.
I was wondering why i havent been able to warp to systems
Thats just lazy if they cant do a patch for that
In theory you should have everything you need for the expedition, in the systems you portal to. But if you want to, you can create a copy of your primary save-ship in the anomaly. It costs like 2k nanites or something
I assume the phase 4 things have to be completed through the P3 portal then
But who wants to fight sentinels for fuel in am expedition where time is everything
Not really.
When they literally broke the expedition.
I rlly wish i could get the ship but i cant
Whatās considered an anomalous world for the fishing
Seems the only way for hello games to make this right is to extend the expedition timer or just give the ship out as a participation trophy
Yeah
If they can't push a fix fast enough
Luckily I played the original expedition so I already have the ship :3
I did that by letting the boundry fail while fishing
So the question is ā¦. How do I set up an alert for if a fix comes so I can go do something else
Giving the ship is logical , be much better š¤£š¤£
Watch them release the patch 1 hour before it ends
yall getting bent out of shape
Thank you
I fished and floated in deep water and done the boundary thing and the look at stars thing all at once š¤£š¤£š¤£
I have the water landing thing, so I fished off my ship on an ocean
I reckon itās possible š¤£
Thanks for this, for everyone essentially fear mongering that it won't get patched please remember that 5.51 was experimental YESTERDAY and became public today.
Nice , I gotta collect nanites - this one gonna annoy me , may as well do that while waiting for fix
@marsh brook
No gifs in this channel please
must say "haunted worlds" in text, no bait needed cc @mellow badge
arent all worlds technically haunted in this expedition?
well that was an easy milestone, earning 4200 nanites, I just refined all the tainted metal I had
only planets of the red/green/blue biomes will count
Anyone else having the phase 3 portal bug?
yes, see pinned post
Ty
Yep all console players mainly , pc has a fix out
need a "see pins for phase 3 bug" announcement every 10 minutes I think, people always ask before looking if its already been answered
Im on steamdeck and my portals bugged
breach 3? 
oh wait
maybe i'm confusing you with somebody else.. anyway, yeah, check the pins
The fix is in an experimental build.
Stuck in breech three, please help
By the time theirs a fix Iāll die of old age and Iāll haunt everyone who got ship š¤£
@mellow badge
everyone is just camping in the portal
Thank you
Turn off multiplayer
it didnt work, I just did that
To all of the people on pc who are having issues with any or all expeditions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK1zgawr_3s
Yup, if you want to scroll up there were some people explaining the intricacies with how the saves work with it. I believe the consensus is if you choose to go to the experimental build you should stay on it until it becomes public, don't switch back to the current version
Relog maybe? Idk why turning off multi-player wouldn't get rid of other players
Wdym by until it becomes public?
I refined the slime too from the derelict freighter.
Until the experimental build stops being experimental, and is released fully into the game as an update.
there's 2 branches on steam
experimental and public
from experimental goes public, and sometimes to other platforms at or almost at the same time
This is exactly why I don't understand the people in here saying "they're never gonna patch it"
i disabled, reloded nothing is working ;-;
how many days will in between ?
For the 30th time, 5.51 was experimental yesterday, went public on PC and then console less than 24 hours later.
Rip, I might as well log and wait for a patch for phase 3
should be fairly fast, but that depends on whether the latest code on exp created other issues or not
I hope they fix it :-: i wanna get the new gears
no worries
I'm having a problem finding the second portal, I've drank the elixr a couple of times, it says a portal has been found but it's not showing in the system
Oh ok thank you

got the right milestone selected? did it ask you to drink a quicksilver? are you playing solo, or do you have mp enabled and are playing with friends?
I'm going to hop back in and check the right milestone is selected. I'm playing in normal mp
I believe I had seen a base in the system with portal in the name, maybe it would work if you find a portal that way even if the quicksilver potion isn't working?
Yeah annoyingly I tried that but it didn't register as the correct portal
ive seen that, the base icon will overlap the portal icon and you wont see it
Milestone is correct, still not showing
(Also I'm in the correct system)
disable multiplayer, exit ship,pause, options, return to main menu, reload save
Cheers, I'll give that a go
marker clutter removal probably taking away the icon needed
!hg
You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Unfortunately it's not worked, tried a game restart as well. Mp is off here despite the purple base showing on the radar
Possibly I'm screwed
just finished expedition 16 on the experimental branch redeemed my starship and cant find it in my collection.
so just a heads up
welp i can't move on with the expedition im at the 3rd portal and have the correct elixer made but it is only asking for planet coordinates
and marker isn't in space either?
Planet: Idwo Omega
Point of Interest: Portal
Lat/Long: +18.28, -137.41
you could navigate to it (see #bot-spam message )
did you see the claim ship screen, where you have to pay nanites?
check the pinned posts
So my portal is bugged. I canāt offer the blood elixir at all
i didnt have to pay nanites i just added it to my collection
Correct, I'm just going to try hopping space stations a couple of times then I'll try that
Check pins, it's a known issue
If what's in pins doesn't work, might just need to wait for a patch
so you redeemed it in your main save, and now it shows as claimed in the quicksilver shop/collect expedition rewrds?
Yes and is nowhere to be found in my collection,
how many ships do you own atm? 12?
do not overwrite restore point
just count them using quick menu
i got rid of 1 to ensure i made room for it so i had 11 when i claimed it
how did you get rid of it, scrapped it or archived it?
scrapped
okay try to reload restore point, assuming that you didn't already enter+exit your ship after claiming it, let us know if it shows available to claim again
alright
has the bug been fixed yet? Or any workarounds? (stuck on Phase 3, and I can't get the portal to accept the elixer).
are you on pc?
yes
then you can switch to beta mode in the settings of nms in steam
experimental mode? that fixes it?
you have to type in the code 3xperimental in the code i think
yeah
yah, got it. thanky
don't switch out of experimental before steam public build catches up to it
or you'll be unable to load saves
will do
Iām still having issues and Iāve done all the trouble shooting
when does this redux finish?
4 days left i think
I still canāt get through breach 3.
are you on pc?
No Xbox
is phase 3 still broken?
oh then idk how to help sry
wait for the patch is the only option
So experimental has the phase 3 fix?
Grand
No matter how broken this update is I need that ship XD
yeah i still can't get the breach 3 portal to work
You on PC?
no console
just wait
wait for the fix, all console players have this issue
sad
I'd say they'll extend the expedition due to the issues
there's no point trying
we've spent literally hours a couple nights ago
trying to do every single thing we could think of
yesterday was crazy finding out what we could do
right?
u where 1 sec away to get flamed š
Is it strange that I'm happy they're still releasing updates so big and crazy they break the game
LOL
no platform wars/jokes here -- some people don't know how to behave
not saying that's your case
Help i can't use portal, it's the normal menu
it's pretty much always like this
Completely understandable

What milestone?
Tbf I had problems with breach 1
Some people are having issues at breech 4 and 5 too
Then I realized I did the milestones wrong and crafted the wrong blood elixir variant XD
gladly the pin also has pointers for general breach use
guess they arent lying about "do not trust the portals"
No way, mi last save was a minutes ago so i have to start again
Don't use the portals...
They put something in them to make you forget.
I don't even know how I got here...
lol
Well i Lost the ship, Now my family is going to lose too. 
Did anyone ever find a fix to the cursed portal #3 glitch?
Only option is the steam experimental build
Wdym and how do I do that
Are you on steam?
I play on steam yes
Alright you can go to the betas section and put in the code 3xperimental
Fellas, we did it
There's a fix for it there
Whats the betas section?
Did u do the experimental build if not what did u do?
I play on GeForce now š¦
what was the nanite price behind copying starship and multitool?
Can't wait for switch 2 players to start picking on switch 1 players
@frosty summit In steam library, select NMS and right click > Properties> Betas.
Under Private Betas type in "3xperimental"
You should then have the option to join the experiemental build under Beta Participation
Are you using the experimental build or is there a official post?
Experimental friendo
Will this mess up any of my progress?
Can I turn it off after ai have completed Breach 3
Can I still play in multiplayer
Yeah all of it is fine. You'd just be on the unreleased patched version of the game
Unreleased is probably not the correct term, but it's a beta patch
You'll be fine
Just use the 3xperimental build until you finish the expedition then go back to regular cause portal 3,4,5 and 6 seem to be borked too
Yeeee. I just made it past breach 4. Onto 5 now so wish me luck fellers 

It was right about 3k total for me
When does the expedition end?
4 days i think
is the sky box supposeed to be constantly flipping between day and night or is my graphics just dying

in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam
Thats how it is
oh, it kinda sucks. lol
That happens to me when my sanity meter is low
If I keep using the purple glass juice it stops happening as much.
The cursed expedition is a challenging one! or is it just me š
It's pretty tough at the start, yeah.
I havenāt finished yet due to me being stuck, but it hasnāt been that bad so far when it comes to difficulty.
The hardest part is the third breach š
Thatās where I am actually stuck.
Oh no I gotta hurry
Iām not familiar with the experimental branch of the game, I donāt believe I can use it because Iām on console. Do we know if breach 3 is going to be patched for everyone before the expedition ends?
It's completely broken on the regular release.
It'll likely be patched on Steam soon but idk if they'll get to console before it ends.
Experimental branch is only on PC.
will they extend the duration of the current expedition as most players are stuck on the third breach?
Iām glad I moved to steam a while ago, I shudder to think what all those updates would do to my poor PS4, it was already struggling
ru able to do it if i got the game on the xbox app on pc?
I don't think so.
rip
I think it must just be the start then, mind you I didn't get what to do with the jellys at the start and the mind juice was something abit different tbh. What ship do you get when you finish the whole expedition or rewards??
Yeah I tried that a while back, I donāt believe that works
Unless you can use betas on there and enter a code.
This my first expedition, and i cant even finish itš
Itās called the Boundary Herald, a Millennium Falcon-like ship.
I named my the Millennial Falcon
Reminds me of the ship from rick and morty
Is the "Eliminate Corrupted Quadrupeds" supposed to be nightmarishly hard? I've made multiple attempts but I can't kill the repair drones fast enough to keep them from getting into a healing circlejerk
Ah yeah, I remember seeing it last October, it looks cool. But I've got enough ships tbh, 3 sentinels the star runner, that one from the expedition before the liquidators redux, and then I've got a solar ship. Not got loads of ships but 6 is enough tbh for me. I'm just enjoying the new planet types and the oceans are so cool to explore, also I like the new backpack vehicle summoner! Very handy š
Hey does anybody know how I play the new expedition
All I see is expedition 16 redux
Thatās all thatās out right now
The new expedition will release once the redux finishes in five days
Thatās what I thought but I saw someone in the anomaly with the new ship so I got scared and thought I might miss it
How did they get it?
Ok thanks
Of course!
I've scoured the whole derelict and I got 308 tainted metal...92 to go. And I can't find the crew manifest either. Any tips?
Why does metal bones require 400 tainted metal and not spawn a derelict that spawns that much?? (In same system)
Its not patched I was wondering thay too
Thankfully its running fine only had an error one
sell crew manifest and captains log to scrap dealer, 200 tainted metal each
Other stuff from derelict got me where I needed to be
fwiw,
sell crew manifest and captains log to scrap dealer, 200 tainted metal each
It's in one of the computer rooms

@tall vector look at the white arrows above the doors,those mark the DF's main path, that goes through all the 3 rooms
Thanks
My sister who inherited both the console and the game will love to hear that hehe thank you!
23/31 almost there
Ofc!
thanks a lot!!
23.5/31
Go to the anomaly or a place where you can unlock the paralysis mortor. Make some unstable plasma for it's fuel and you can shock them to stop them from healing. Helps immensely for situations where they clump up.
Not if you are on console
PC
Yes I aware and I done that
And no
done what sorry
@spring sandal i'm guessing you missed this part:
āConfirmed fixed on Steam Experimental branch. For those who wish and are able to opt-in, follow instructions linked. (Those confirming, thank you
)
Will do, thanks
Poor console players
just a matter of days now
Finished it! Thank god, I hate derelicts!
hours probably even
Iām PC player no console
Iām on console - no fix for me š¤·
Shame on you ~~
no platform flame wars please
some people don't know how to behave, and so refrain of posting such comments
Ah nah itās fine
if you're on steam, you can opt into steam experimental and complete expedition
just don't switch out of experimental before steam public build catches up to it
Gotcha
which should be tomorrow probably
Iāve been wanting to switch to my pc for a bit, but Iāve been waiting for cross save so I can carry my save over. So this is a little annoying, I hope a patch comes before this ends though.
Definitely waiting on their next game fire and flames or whatever itās called. Hopefully wonāt be buggy for 8 years
Donāt have expeditions going if you canāt design them correctly. The expeditions are boring chores most of the time and now canāt even get the Han Solo ship on ps5? The one ship that everyone especially wants? I have been a die hard fan of NMS for years now but seriously I did pay for a product, years later still broken features?
chill, update with a fix is coming soon, plenty of time left
This is a bad take, and disingenuous, the expedition was working fine before a massive update that all the fan base wanted.
all updates have been free
Frustration is understandable, but worlds part 2 was a truly massive update, that also just released. Thereās gonna be bugs, but I trust hello games to fix them.
It's a procedurally generated universe running on a decade old engine, expecting it to be bug free, especially after a massive update is insanity
it wasn't working fine
people were reporting this issue the first time this expedition ran, and then they ran it again without fixing it
It wasn't nearly as wide spread. Plus fixing an expedition is not a priority when focusing on the changes made in wp2.
How big would you expect a team of people to make a game of this sheer size to be? It's probably way smaller than whatever number you came up with, give them a break

And once again, it was worlds part 2 that broke it. I doubt hello games can test every single possible thing before they release the update, they just donāt have the manpower to make everything perfect. Theyāll fix it
Esp in a game of this size
One slept on and ignored thing about this update is file size decrease, that's an incredibly hard thing to do for a game of this magnitude, especially one that's a decade old, and they did it, faster load times, millions of new systems, and people are complaining cause they can't get a new ship.
It's insane man.
if they don't have enough people to fix reported bugs, they should plan around that
for example: don't do FOMO content

Brother, it's been a day and a half.
The update couldāve waited 4 day LMAO
So, if they donāt have enough playtesters, they should just not release more content? Or should they have such a massive team that they fix everything the second itās complained about?
Itās unrealistic to expect the devs to fix this in that short of time span
Go play cod or some other triple a game. Oh wait, they don't "listen" to big fixes either.
I said don't do FOMO content

šÆ
not "don't release any new content"
I'm sorry but if 2 weeks Is fomo content that's your problem, I was on pace to have the expedition done in 3 hours.
any expiration date is FOMO content, is this not obvious?
LMAOOO, proves my point even more
What do you define FOMO content as? Because PM all of the things added are long-awaited/asked for features
you're frustrated over free FOMO content (which is being redone btw, so you can get it in the future) not working 2 days after a massive free update to a 9 year old game
maybe your standards are too high friend
Sir stop
Your dressing yourself as a clown
You saying get rid of expeditions as a whole? At the risk of sounding rude, do you even play the game? They bring back expeditions constantly, they are great fun and have great rewards, with no lose to not doing them
Classic, "gimme gimme gimme I don't wanna do the work for it" brother just get a PC and save edit your game.
and we should stop talking about this too.
But it's fun
it's clear that it's leading nowhere really
some on one side, some on another
let's just be friends
Aye people just keep this channel clean no more spitting each other
And neither can see the other's side
Based. Itās not like arguing is gonna fix the expedition either
there you go
I still don't get 'based' because I can't tell if people use it positively or negatively
That word has lost all meaning, but I think generally people mean it in a positive way.
You donāt engage the people you despise, just ignore
I don't despise anyone, I just think their opinions are flawed and shallow.
Cant complete phase 3. portal bugged for me
Lmaooo

It is but no point to argue you could ~~~ DM
Sorry, to clarify I was agreeing with him.
yah, experimental works. you just can't go back to the live version and use that save. but the unlocks are still there.
if you're not on pc steam, wait for the next public patch
I see your point, fair enough.
My xbox has an update is thus a bugg fix for 3rd portal?
This doesnt work...
Probably not, 5.51 dropped this morning for consoles
?
Which is not the current experimental build.
I thought I'm unique but I see I'm not. Im playing in Steam
Getting blocked at phase three portal..thought this was a fix?
I think we should do a YouTube video how to fix the problem is way more easier just a text?
the post you linked is about this milestone
In Wine-Dark Seas:
Noyama-Kaus I system, Idwo Omega planet
Known issue where you can get locked out of progress!
āConfirmed fixed on Steam Experimental branch. For those who wish and are able to opt-in, follow instructions linked. (Those confirming, thank you
)
iow, if the steps provided don't work
wait, or if on steam, choose whether to opt in to experimental branch, or wait
Ah ok I'll just wait thanks š
If I linked my xbox to steam would I then be able to opt in to experiment branch the get everything unlocked on my xbox?
Ok, im crazy lol. I had to activate the beta and it works fine on Steam.
phase 3 complete
ty
yes, that should work, but there's no cross save slots atm afaik -- but note that you won't be able to load that same save back on xbox, until it is on the same build as steam experimental
iow, my suggestion would be to just wait
does opting in mess up save on pc as well?
Definitely wait, I opted into the cross save beta months ago and still no word
basically, once you opt in to experimental, you can't come back to public until public has caught up with experiemental

Hello Everyone, First of all, thanks so much to everyone who has already spent time playing No Man's Sky and letting us know about any issues you've experienced. To play in Experimental, right-click on No Man's Sky from the Steam library page and select "Properties". Among the available tabs will be the "BETAS" tab. Enter "3xperimental" in the t...
I haven't really played nms to much so I have no idea how well hello games are able to push updates out just worried I'll miss out on all these cool rewards
you won't, don't worry
current fixes on steam experimental will be out soon for all platforms pretty confident
i've been around the game for a long time now, and i've even seen them extend expedition duration
Hey my expedition is glitched. Im assuming this question has come in a million times. Any fix yet?
Breach 3 has a fix on steam's experimental build, but not on release yet
Oh shit
Where do I get tainted metal please , canāt find scrap merchant
Any word of ps5 fix please?
Okay sick thats great to hear
Will i need to restart my expo?
I'd assume there will be a console patch of the current experimental build within the next 48hrs at most. Probably less if the day one patch is anything to go off of.
Nope, but you'll have to stay on the experimental build until base release catches up
What does that mean exactly? If I switch to experimental now I have to stay there until it drops? What if I just wait for the drop?
You can do that too entirely up to you.
You can wait as well
Ill probably just wait
Honestly HG will probably extend the expedition due to the bugs
i hope so but if the timer gets close ill just jump experimental
how long does it take to go from experimental to live typically?
Not sure
There should be a patch out shortly though
yesssss I'm so glad lol
Tainted metal comes from derelict freighters, scrap merchant is under the right set of stairs on occupied space stations
HG have been working non-stop on patches since the update dropped
Yeah it took me a while to find him XD
Fyi derelict freighters are pretty rippy on cursed expedition, as your life support drains insane fast due to the expedition mechanic.
I used like 20 consumables and almost died to stuff attacking through the roof.
iirc, cold hazard protection shields help
This would be more than ok
hye, im on the experimental build and im still having the breach 3 issue. do i need to reuse the quicksilver or leave the planet or something?
Had a buddy that thought the same thing.
I guess a second millenial falcon isn't bad either
Millenial falcon XD
That's what I named my first one lol
That's genius
Thank you.
Yo guys, i'm stuck on phase 3 of the expedition cause the portal doesn't accept the blood thingy, is there any way to fix it ?
You can use the experimental build.
Check the pins
Only supported on Steam though.
geez none of my breaches are working now
ty guys
Phase 4 done!
hey im on experimental and my breach 3 is still bugged. any help?
All I have to do tomorrow is phase 5
im giving up on this expedition honestly. experimental patch isnt working for me either and im just done lmao
Itās not the wraith anyways
I'm just hitting Phase 3, and... where do I find Hungering Tendrilsš
something tells me that isnāt supposed to show up like that
posting that here cause itās the system with the 3rd portal
Infested worlds
the Xeno-Colony world has them
The planet with aggressive sentinels in RDV3 has them, they're the titan worms
I don't have that system.
I got sent to Noyama-Klaus I
With two doomed jade planets, a forsaken, a foaming, and a... xeno colony?
Yup. That's me. Phase 3 current. I've made good progress today lol
Yee
.....wut
Waiting for the nexus rewards to guve hypnotic eye- I do not feel like dealing with abyssal horrors, any tips to speed this up?
I got all my hypnotic eyes from the derelict freighter in rendezvous 3 system
Maybe try portaling in a different system, (I.E. if you have starborn runner/iron vulture etc.)
Lucky
Or, go back to RV2
Bc I'm 80% sure it's milestone-locked, not system-locked
We're you able to do the portal ones?
Yea I'm on the steam experimental build
I got the expedition done :)
Ah I was hoping there was a fix on ps
experimental isnt showing as an option for me on steam
beta section only has the option of None
went through the steps in the pinned comments anyway and it didnt work either
Type un the code 3xperimental
So what happens to my save in the experimental branch? I canāt play my main save on the standard version now š¦
Will I ever get that save back?
Thank you very much!
Nb :)
You'll be able to switch back once the experimental version is released on the public build
Any update on if they're going to fix the third portal?
oh thank goodness. the experimental worked
Or does anyone have any sort of workaround or brute force method?
Yo derelict ships are no joke ..the price of 10 mil to find one during an expo is though š¤£
Need console fix instantly
Drag me to hell with this waiting
what expedition is on now?
Well on console I had enough of experimenting to get it to work , pc dudes are fortunate - we are a lower life form on console
Cursed
Iād give my left Nanite to get through breach 3
Anyways Iām going to sleep and hopefully wake with a fix ā¦nanite š
ah sad no fix yet... sadness is imense... at least we know one is coming
so is the phase 3 breach fixed yet or ?
remain on experimental, until steam public build catches up
once that happens, you're free and safe to switch back
theoretically
as in ?
type 3xperimental in betas
whats that ?
i have it through xbox gamepass. still no fix there ?
Only on steam though
sadge
yeah you console boy have to wait a bit
So- I attacked one of those inverted mirror things and got no swarm level?? Killed three of the swarm too
go get the gravity ball then
That spawns normal sentinels for some reason
where do i find a infested planet for the cursed expeidition?
there should be a xeno colony planet, go there
it will have the tendrils
ty
no problemo
Would it work if I enter the address for the fourth system?
no it just crashed my game when i did that
no it won't progress the questline... you could technically do the milestones past phase 3 but you'll still need to do it when its fixed
Dang
you can get most of the milestones from the proceeding phases done, especially if you have paid to bring your own ship in so you can warp to other systems
so when the fix goes out you'll just have mainly the portals to do
its fixed on the steam experimental build so i assume its likely a fix comes out before it ends, not guaranteed though
if you are on steam check the pins, theres a guide for loading into the experimental build there if you dont wanna wait
Yeah I wish I could but given Iām on ps I have no choice but to wait
what is the problem with the third portal
Third portal wonāt take elixir and the expedition cannot be progressed
its just completely broke as of worlds part 2, quest isn't acting as a quest, portal thinks its a normal portal
You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
So Worlds Part 2 broke it? I already completed that milestone, so will I be able to complete the rest of the EXP normally?
From what I can tell itās just that milestone
yeah if you're past the third breach you should be fine. there's been no reports of anything broken past that point at least
So if you are already past it you should be fine
cool
so if we arnt we should just not do the expedition?
is there anything new in the experimental branch?
Annoyingly i started the expedition on the update day after putting off doing it the night before š
I wouldnāt recommend it if you are stuck on it
and the portal is broken for everyone then
For most, not for some it seems
nothing stopping you completing things ahead of time, i don't think. I pretty much have all of my milestones done so if they drop a fix it's just a case of doing the portals
you'll likely struggle to do that if you don't have a ship copied over from the anomaly terminal though
see i came back from not playing for a long time because of worlds part 2 and seeing an ongoing expedition i was super happy to get some rewards.... then it breaks.... so I would have to assume other people came back or are new and are having the issue. so if they don't fix it would suck for a lot of new/returners and thats a bad vibe to have right on a major update
I always just redeem one of the expedition ships. I usually do the starborn runner because it has pretty good pulse speed, but the iron vulture is good too because of its long warp distance and inventory size.
oh i dont know much about that, i never did any of the other expeditions cause i stopped playing for a long time lol
In short: hang tight, HG is working on it, they are a small team and coding is a hard job, esp bug fixing, they'll fix it soon, maybe even offer an extention (if I were in their shoes I would), in the mean time, get what you can done
are there any new features in the experimental branch other than the EXP bug fix?
yeah already did... ran 2 char to phase 3 and got stuck so i'm just awaiting
"In short" multiple sentences šāāļø
bruhh the experimental is experimental alright
its watching you
every 20 mins i ran to a new game breaking bug
theres only 1 exotic planet in this system, unless corrosive counts?
Well done everything except all portals from the 3rd onwards and the weird stare into void barrier thing lol
9 hours itās taken me š¤£š¤£š¤£
I went to 2nd rendezvous for second exotic creature
Im probably the 1000th person asking this but the expedition for the update that just dropped isnt out yet right?
correct
I see, so its only the redux hmmm
thanks a lot for the info
Nahh , might be delayed or so bugged itās out of this worlds 2
I mean, I assume it will probably at least wait untilt he current one is over
Yeah , new living ship looks dope
is it from the new expedition?
the current one was supposed to end after this weekend and then #17 would start after... dunno if they will extend or not because worlds broke redux
Yeah , if you go to quicksilver thing while in expedition you can have a gander at it
if I go into the redux expedition I can see the ship? is that a bug? lol
gracias
Nahh it shows up but unavailable
ah okay, so just gotta wait for now
No problemo
loving this update so far, all I ever wanted was sea planets
Yeah I gotta double wait for bug and new exponential expo
Iāve not even gone to see a sea planet
He sells she sells on the sea shaw the shells she sells are sea shells Iām sure š¤£
I picked one for my questline
Nice , I had a little look but couldnāt find one , I wanted to check out the darkness of the abyss
is that gas planets?
Nahh gas planets are just gas rocks and some satanic stuff š¤£
then I dont know what you mean
ahhh, I had read it wrong my bad
No worries bro
Hey all! I'm trying to deploy the Minotaur geobay in a dissonant planet to fight the sentinel quads, but it just won't let me. No matter where I go it says "position invalid"
Restart game , I had the same thing
thanks, gonna try that rn
It happened with refiner for me , it kept going underground like their was no floor lol
Would let me put anything down
Wouldnāt *
yeah, can't build anything
Yeah restart should fix it then
I just used a hand shield for the quad things lol
I died once but picked up my grave
Expedition is broken. I've tried three saves and all do the same thing. Cannot access phase 4.
The portal doesn't give you the option to smear it in blood.
yep its still not fixed though i hear there is a fix in experimental so we just have to hope it hits live before the weekend is over
experimental didnt even fix it for me. still completely bugged
did you delete every elixir you have and try making the correct one again?
whatās the best way to find an infested planet?
also did you let the game patch after switching to experimental?
its the xeno colony one
I did this too to no avail
theres a xeno colony in the system you SHOULD be in
no. i asked in here twice if there were things i needed to do in experimental to make it work and nobody responded so i didnt know i needed to do that
try that, make sure you don't have any and then craft the correct one
ty
not sure how to help then
Is there anyone that wants to do the expedition "the cursed" now with me? I'm not sure if its a good idea to do it solo :/
its fine to do solo, just this particular one is a tad annoying, make sure you're on experimental if you are going to do it
Xeno colony
Oop
I'm late
better than seeing the question and deciding to ignore it
True true
Where can I get anomalous fish
In the water
fishing rod... and spicy chum
look for a planet with water and land, if the game tells you to cast your line, thats the right planet
though you can just fish without bait and it works too
K thx for the help /eyeroll
I have the milestone tracked n it says no suitable water in this system
But I had no specific bait for anomalous fish so I just found water and the first 4 I pulled worked
gotta go to a new system then
are you joking? it took me like an hour
What's the best and easiest way to find corrupt quads?
Nope
Find a dissonant planet and slaughter
I pulled 3 and then the exact same one again but after that, the next one I pulled worked
fishing objectives always take me forever, and I can't stand this game's fishing
i did 2 dif char and both times i fished i only spent like 2 mins on it each time and got the fish i needed... twas ez
I like it lol it's nice and relaxing
Sometimes
lol go fishing durring a storm... waves are a thing
it's such an utter nothing burger, literally just click (waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait) click. Click (waitwaitwaitwait) click
almost right... you have to.... (waitwaitwaitwaitwait) click&hold
failed fishing my first time because i didn't hold haha
I just was t sure if it was specific planet or not
isn't that what its like in most games that aren't fishing sims? š¤£
k well fishing period is a bunch of waiting sooooo
yeah but you get what I mean, there's just no subtance to it
I pulled a pond skipper which was common, a common murmurfish, a common hexscale minnow and an uncommon anemone anomaly
and i mean irl
I am fully willing to admit I am not the target of this game's fishing mechanic, but I still do not like it
I honestly didn't think it was but apparently I got lucky?
i've been all sorts of fishing... through no fault of my own... and i can say out off all of them the best was fly fishing just because your way more active.... and the worst was Ice fishing... the cold can go suck a duck
I dont think the game is the games target for the fishing mechanic, it's just there because Hello Games was like 'yeah the universe has fishing so we'll put it in'
Fishing in red dead redemption 2 was the most fun
I like stardew valley's fishing, haven't tried rdr2's
Is there something that really angers only corrupted sentinels? (Normal sentinels wouldn't care)
they need to make desert biomes now so we can go dune buggy and maybe even sand surfing... plus every planet feels like pure mountains at this point where are my plains, bread bowls, and deserts... platue's also
pretty soon we'll have No Man's Sky in No Man's Sky
there are no regular sentinels on corrupted sentinel planets, so anything done on a dissonant planet
Explain me picking up a gravitino and it spawning normals then
whack
maybe its different with those
go destroy an inverted mirror
it works on experimental, just delete any current elixirs you have
oh man - i dont want to risk my 200 hour save for that
Why should I be on experimental??
its just a minor patch for a couple things, there's virtually 0 risk
It's taking forever to find, do any nexus missions make you fight a corr. Quad?
one of the objectives is broken
So my friends and I are trying to do the Redux Cursed Expedition and we are stuck on Breach 3, we have drank Elixer of Quicksilver and are are the portal location, and we have the right Elixer of blood (with the swirly icon) in our inventories but when trying to interact with the portal it does not prompt the experenced "Give Elixer of blood" and isnteate treats it like a normal portal.
We have tried the following:
- relaunching game and loading into singleplayer + multipler off - did not work
- Drinking another elixer of quicksilver - also did not work
- Tried to get the planet coordinaes for phase 4 and it does not update the milestone
Anyone have a solution? š¢
blank you;re talking about cursed?
couldn't tell you, if you can find a sentinel just shoot it
yes
swap to the experimental branch and delete your current elixirs
So delete all elixers and reload, or? Does that include glass exlixer
glass no, just blood and probably QS
OK will try that, thank you!
Can someone tell me how the hell I find the hungering tendrils
I'm on phase 3 and lost
Come to think- I changed my difficulty settings this exp, I had on-foot to minimal, maybe that's why
xeno colony planet in the current system
It's stupid that that breaks the exp though
I love you
And it works on experimental? Maybe I can just switch to experimental just before phase 4?
has the phase 3 portal bug been fixed yet? I just woke up from nap
once you switch, you cant switch back till the main branch is updated
I spent the last 45 minutes running around like a headless chicken
Highlight the mission, then use your visor.
What's even going on?
it does work yes, and I am 90% certain what the other person said it wrong
What is the phase portal glitch?
three
3
just stay on experimental until you finish the expedition
breach 3 still broken on live.. experimental has a fix you need to delete any elixers in inv and make sure the game patches... however you will be stuck in experimental till live is updated
you cant switch back to non-beta after the expedition is over?
I'm asking how it breaks
activates like normal portal, doesnt ask for blood
the portal will NOT accept your elixir of blood no matter what
no as you will have updated your game into experimental it will not allow you to move your char back until live is of the same version
you can switch your install back to live, but your save will say its for a newer version and cannot be loaded
Do you
- have the correct blood?
- have the quest selected?
Have you
- tried going to a different portal?
i already completed it, I am helping other peopel
when the bug happens, no other portal will work
Fellow ponytown player š¤š¦
So one of us tried the experimental version and had 1 elixer of glass and making new quicksilver and blood elixers did not resolve the issue ... could it be the glass?
he's deleted it now and reloading but
there are reports of it not working, but make sure you only make the correct elixir of blood
having multiple could still cause issues
do not make a new Elixer of Blood until you activate the mission and it tells you too
Weird
