nms-expedition

[remote thunder]

well, i think that's one with such easy repro steps that you don't need to, as long as description is clear

[proud sparrow]

It's hard to keep track of which planets have been surveyed when they've all already been discovered by HG

[lost sphinx]

Alright. Thank you!

[crude sinew]

I agree

[remote thunder]

was fairly simple for me, "unmapped", haven't been there yet

[novel crane]

ok, whre are teh undderwater fregihters?

[remote thunder]

see #nms-expedition message

[novel crane]

ive been seraching for one for 3 hours now lol

[remote thunder]

• Fathoms Below: Cannot be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 planet), can be left behind, and completed in Ipto XIV (Rendezvous 5 planet) for example. Use Nautilon, install High Power Sonar on it, then quick menu/scan for buildings/sunken freighter.

[proud sparrow]

Didn't say that for me, are you playing in offline mode or something? instead of "unmapped" it says "discovered by HG"

[woven shadow]

Can you summon the anomaly in the starting system?

[remote thunder]

nah, probably just ODS was down at the time i'm thinking then

[remote thunder]

after warping out

[woven shadow]

Oh okay. Gotta figure out how to get a hyperdrive

Actually it looks like I already have one?

[remote thunder]

correct

[novel crane]

only in the ship you have rihgt

[mighty grotto]

What planet on rendezvous 5 is good to find the sunken freighter?

[novel crane]

i bought a ship and it had none

[remote thunder]

Ipto XIV - the rdv5 planet itself

[mighty grotto]

Oh, thanks

[remote thunder]

oh? that's strange - you got the ship from a npc? sounds like a bug.

[novel crane]

yep, got from a npc

its why ive been using the silly ship you start with

[remote thunder]

i'd report it as a bug

[novel crane]

never ddone that before lmao

[remote thunder]

didn't do exp16?

[wind plume]

isnt exocraft summoning unit for the exosuit supposed to function like the exocraft room on a freghter?

[remote thunder]

both require geobay built on a planet somewhere

[lost sphinx]

Oh good... the Pillar of Titan tool didn't work for me, either.

[novel crane]

not reporting a buug for hehre

[wind plume]

exocraft room on freighter doesnt need a geobay built you know

[woven latch]

I claimed the multi tool after the expedition yet it’s nowhere to be seen. I can’t swap it out and it’s not in any storage either, am I bugged?

[remote thunder]

scanner room isn't the same room as orbital exocraft materializer room

[remote thunder]

yes, it does.

[sleek flower]

Hi, guys. Play in new expedition and I don't understand, where is the first rendezvous point. I'm currently still on gas giant

[lost sphinx]

I just had that happen, too. That's a bug.

[thorny turret]

What should I bring with me for this expedition?

[wind plume]

that one my bad

[remote thunder]

in a different system

[woven latch]

Is there a way to get it back?

[wind plume]

no it really doesnt
all the freighter room needs is that its in system

[lost sphinx]

I'm sure if it's reported, they'll add a way for people who didn't get it to reclaim it.

[remote thunder]

check the pinned posts, then add 1 lubricant, 3 mag resonator, 6 sulphide,

[topaz brook]

save editing, at a bare minimum

[woven latch]

I hope so lol

[remote thunder]

i shall try it and get back to you.

[wind plume]

ive been doing it all day dude

[remote thunder]

if that's the case, that's new

because geobays are required

[wind plume]

well, not in expedition all day but yeah

[tired badger]

This is my first expedition that isn’t a redux, and we have plenty of time so I think I’m gonna bring NOTHING. Anyone else?

[orchid sage]

My man

[remote thunder]

i already did

[wind plume]

chief, its been in the description of the exocraft freighter room since like
its inception

[novel crane]

yeah not spawnign with hyperdrives

[slow inlet]

anybody have any luck findnig water on Toletho Omega?

[topaz brook]

one geobay existing in one of your bases somewhere in the universe has always been a requirement for the freighter room

[wind plume]

i have summoned exocrafts in systems i have not made a base in
or even have built in

so thats not correct

[topaz brook]

read what i said again

[chrome garnet]

I don't see any copper in my starting system?
I need it for Chromatic metal-Anti matter to leave the system.

[remote thunder]

refine quartzite or activated quartzite

[crude sinew]

Mine quartzite, refine

[sleek flower]

In any system? Or exact one?

[topaz brook]

if you have a bay in ANY SINGLE SYSTEM, you can summon that exocraft via the freighter in ANY OTHER SYSTEM

[wind plume]

i read it, and im saying i went from euclid to eissentam
another galazy
summoned my freighter
and explored the first world on the pilgrim without crafting a geobay

[topaz brook]

yeah and?

I said universe, not galaxy, did I not?

[wind plume]

that one my bad

[remote thunder]

you wont have the range to make it in one warp from the starter system, but just have the rendezvous 1 milestone selected, and then open galaxy map, follow "expedition route" pathline

[wind plume]

either way ive had to build a new geobay every world for some reason

even in the same system
wont let me spawn it

[sleek flower]

Thank you so much!!!

[scenic iron]

Guys, in the 3rd Rev Point where is a Water Planet, when I went deep to the water I can't reach to 1k deep to accomplish, I dig but everything plain, no longer can't reach more than to reach 1k

[wind plume]

some parts deeper than others

[scenic iron]

Also question, is this expedition includes all glyphs?

[topaz brook]

are you at RV3 or RV2?

[wind plume]

wait rendezvous 3?
i did it on rendezvous 2

[topaz brook]

RV3 is a gas giant

[median sparrow]

About to Yolo this Expedition.

[subtle thunder]

What's the best way for me to get 1800 nanites?

[broken wharf]

when I need a tornado and I don't get one XD

[valid linden]

New save for me!

[onyx lodge]

just found a carbon rich plant

[remote thunder]

look. here's how it works.

• pick a planet, or if you prefer so that you can return to them later easily, pick any planet side base, then build all the geobays of all the exocrafts you want to have available to summon later. period.
• now, goto a different system, not that base's, any other system. since your freighter has orbital exocraft materializer room built in its base already, summon your freighter in.
• goto any planet in that system. on foot, quick menu/summon vehicles/exocrafts/<pick one>. now it will let you.

[lost sphinx]

You can tell how deep it is by looking in the lower left hand corner, by where your hazard protections are. There's a part of it that says "Sea Floor: Xu"

[scenic iron]

I need to verify again, gonna had to go back where I was tomorrow

[crude sinew]

I was lucky to get the aerial washing machine on spawn

[onyx lodge]

safe to say i have infinite carbon now

[topaz brook]

RV2 is the water world, and the RV point itself should be near enough to 1ku depths

[broken wharf]

Damn, that's lucky.

[wind plume]

original question was asking if the exosuit thing functions similarly to the freighter

[quartz root]

Can’t find a tornado on the second gas giant to save my life smh

[tired badger]

Yes

[undone hatch]

Does anyone know when the next expedition is coming out

[wind plume]

cause the exosuit thing literally not changing anything
its useless rn

[tired badger]

Yes

[crude sinew]

It's active now

[wind plume]

and i was wondering if thats a bug

[undone hatch]

Oh

Darn it

[winged sky]

Is anyone crashing the moment they start the expedition?

[onyx lodge]

so glad i'm not glitching out

[winged sky]

I've tried verifying but I still crash once the game loads (after the flying-through-stars transition)

[quartz root]

Any tips for finding a tornado for the milestone? Been running around this gas giant for two hours

[remote thunder]

and i answered yes; to answer the question, that exosuit tech is a replacement for the freighter room basically, to players that haven't yet for example unlocked freighter indium drive or atlantid drive, and thus cannot summon their freighter in to any system they go to

[finite sinew]

Little more grindyder but all and all fun expedition

[ivory copper]

Where am I supposed to find this underwater freighter?

[remote thunder]

try finding them with your ship, next to mountain peaks often

[finite sinew]

@ivory copper use your sub advance sonar you can select it

[wind plume]

so it is a bug that its not working
unsure of why the conversation got so convoluted

[remote thunder]

nautilon, install high powered sonar, hop in it, quick menu/scan/sunken freighters

[slow inlet]

Leave the ocean planet, go to the next system, and just look in any ocean

[remote thunder]

it's not a bug, it's working as intended; it was always intended that for your save to have the ability to summon exocrafts, the geobays must be built somewhere in the universe, just unlocking them in anomaly for example, isn't enough

[ivory copper]

Thank You

[crystal citrus]

what is the "Titan Stripes customization"?

[finite sinew]

Camp for ship

[wind plume]

IM SAYING IVE HAD TO BUILD 12 GODDAMN GEOBAYS
EVERY PLANET I GO TO

[finite sinew]

@crystal citrus

Camo*

[muted mason]

So when ya do en expidition. If ya copy over your ship and multi tool can ya copy them back after the expedition is done?

[wind plume]

IVE NEVER HAD THIS BAD A CRISIS FOR HYDROGEN BEFORE

[finite sinew]

@muted mason yup got two each

[valid roost]

Honestly a bit gutted switch and PlayStation have to wait an extra 5 days (due to bugs)

[finite sinew]

@valid roost bugs on p5 now ? I jsut finished it and I’m ps5 didn’t encounter issues ?

[valid roost]

Ps4 I thought

[muted mason]

@finite sinew kk, LOL its my first time so I am reading the pinned message and tearing my ship apart. Thinking if I could bring it and get it back then thats not so bad

[valid roost]

Or apparently there was bugs on it

Definitely was on switch though (no wonder, it's a new patch and there still aren't water physics yet)

[finite sinew]

@muted mason you can copy the wraith over twice so you’ll get the wraith if it’s your default then you copy it over after exp is finished then claim it at reward claim

[slow inlet]

I'm at rv3 trying to find some fish but I haven't seen a drop of water. can anyone help

[dense knoll]

sexy ship

[finite sinew]

@slow inlet for the depth reward.

[valid roost]

Literally

What's the plot for the new expedition?

[muted mason]

@finite sinew I am more worried about my current S class ship. Its the yellow one with the big glass ball on the front LOL. BUt thanks for the answer, I will just copy it over since i Can get it back

[valid roost]

I would wait to see myself but it's an even longer extension so

[slow inlet]

no, for Plasmic Oceans (catch fish on gas giants)

[finite sinew]

@slow inlet ahhh that’s just getting lucky bubba jsut happened we found one that had water lol

@muted mason anything you came in with will be fine

[slow inlet]

I've been flying around for like 25 minutes with nothing. I posted this and found some water immediately

[mighty grotto]

Built a base right in front a sunken freighter on rv 5 system

[ivory copper]

Will I find the crashed freighter on that same water planet?

[narrow salmon]

Yeah but it gives the actual Titan decal as reward 😄

[remote thunder]

check this post #nms-expedition message

[wind plume]

on the verge of just duping hydrogen with the stupid refiner thing

[remote thunder]

yes

[crystal citrus]

for custom built ships I assume?

[finite sinew]

@crystal citrus correct

[agile delta]

when does the "Titan" end?

[finite sinew]

@agile delta two weeks

[agile delta]

thanks

[finite sinew]

No problem

[grave silo]

<-< first time doing this and I almost died

[agile delta]

:3

[grave silo]

How do I get the stuff I brang with me

[narrow salmon]

Not a fan of living ships but this one looks so cool

[agile delta]

I like the new staff

[mental copper]

what’s an easy way to get the 7200 nanites I need for one of the missions?

[lost sphinx]

@woven latch
I just realized something. If you happened to have the Pillar of Titan as your multi-tool before you left the expedition, you can make a copy of it from the Expedition Terminus.

[finite sinew]

@lost sphinx same with ship

[onyx lodge]

bk do you have coordinates for the 1001u deep area of Adtpw

[wind plume]

you get a bunch of nanite from some of the missions too you know

[agile delta]

scan animals and get reward for scanning all the animals on a planet

[lost sphinx]

I did know about that. I was more saying about the multi-tool because it's a bit bugged right now.

[finite sinew]

@lost sphinx ah yeah I got 2 of em but idk if I need 2…… lol o well

[dense knoll]

base and ship

[agile delta]

it's beautiful!

[mental copper]

I know, not enough though afaik

[finite sinew]

@dense knoll sick picture

[narrow salmon]

The pillar of titan replaced the name of my main save staff and geenrated a random name for my new pillar of titan xD

[remote thunder]

see #nms-expedition message

[wind plume]

im gonna have a fucking stroke
i got fake ass paraffinium deposits on the planet i went to
literally didnt have ANY metal

[ivory copper]

It's not finding anything, would you perhaps have coordinates or tips?

[agile delta]

I hecking love the game, played on my brother's PC in 2018-19 and bought the game for myself in 2020, although I sometimes didn't find the time, when I went to PC I enjoyed the game
everytime

[remote thunder]

just fly away to another spot and try again

[remote scarab]

Why do you spawn so far away from your ship lol

[onyx lodge]

yoo thats close

[remote thunder]

farm storm crystals and quartzite/activated quartzite/crystalyzed helium on the way

[wraith badge]

so ... what's the new expedition like ?

[onyx lodge]

quiye fun to me

[dense knoll]

thank you

[dense knoll]

thank u ]

[dense knoll]

i enjoyed it a fair bit

[ivory copper]

Sigh okie

[finite sinew]

@wraith badge little more grindy I felt

Least in my galaxy or what ever could go to any bases like before to speed process up had grind it out fully legit which is what ever jsut took few more hours then expected all and all easy and straight forward

[mighty grotto]

Nice! Got mine now

[dense knoll]

congrats

[mighty grotto]

Always liked living ships, and to get an exclusive one it’s the best

[finite sinew]

Big fan of it and staff

[proud harbor]

Definitely becoming my main ship later

[mighty grotto]

My staff glitched. It says that i already redeemed, but I didn’t

[exotic spindle]

I'm currently working at Field Logistics. The task tells me to make flour from Faecilum, I have collected it, but how the hell am I going to move forward with the task?

[finite sinew]

Yeah just finished it as wife was pulling in so I’ll add x mods to it tomorrow and get it right

[proud harbor]

Put the faecium in a nutrient processor

[ivory copper]

8 spots now still no luck. Man I remember why I stopped doing expeds..

[remote thunder]

no, you make wild yeast from faecium, then mix yeast with flour

[finite sinew]

@ivory copper what are you looking for

[proud harbor]

Flower is from heptaloid wheat

[mighty grotto]

Does that happened to anyone else?

[ivory copper]

Sunken freighter

[exotic spindle]

Thanks mates

[remote thunder]

system has a station, a race icon, yes? then it it will work eventually. i did mine after flying away for a bit from rdv5 portal

[finite sinew]

@ivory copper do you have sonar on your sub

The advance

[ivory copper]

Yes and I'm using it to locate sunken freighter, and It keeps saying "No building located" or whatever

[ashen shore]

Thank you “4 squids in a trench coat” for your wonderful fishing base on a gas giant! The illegal seaside villa was lovely and very helpful!

[ivory copper]

Oh I'm near where rdv2 is.

[fair relic]

HERE WE GOOOO

[finite sinew]

@ivory copper then your probably glitched or on wrong planet try finding a oceanic planet I did that no issues

[fair relic]

My first look at the new update

[mighty grotto]

I’ve built a base right in front of one on rv 5 system

[arctic anchor]

is adtow a possible spawn place for sunken freighters ?

[mighty grotto]

Nope

[ashen shore]

I’ll be looking for it when I get there! 😉

[finite sinew]

@arctic anchor probably not

[ivory copper]

What's it called? I'll keep an eye out and circle back

[arctic anchor]

bruh

[mighty grotto]

It’s EXP 17. SUNKEN FREIGHTER

[copper kettle]

can confirm, been looking for like an hour on adtow lol

[arctic anchor]

is there a planet in the system of adtow i can use or should i search for somewhere else

[copper kettle]

no dice

[agile delta]

ayo

[mighty grotto]

I was kinda screaming when I found lol

[ivory copper]

Bet, I'll keep an eye out and circle back to it then

[finite sinew]

@mighty grotto find a oceanic planet

You’ll have much better Luck

[astral badge]

has anyone else had the issue with the with bases on Redevus 2 just despawning? the only part of my base that is left on the surface of the ocean is my landing platform.

[copper kettle]

adtow is oceanic too

[round gulch]

I have found that on the last destination

[mighty grotto]

On rv 5 planet have one. I’ve built a base right in front of one

[round gulch]

On Adtow you will not find it

[finite sinew]

Haven’t even seen adtow personally nothing would allow em to warp via portal had do it old school way lmao

[mighty grotto]

Nice. Hope it helps

[copper kettle]

yeah I wasted a lot of time, lots of resources tho lol

[sharp turtle]

wish there was more lore to this exp but the gas giant is cool

[round gulch]

True

[arctic anchor]

same

[brisk plover]

On a scale of 1-10, how buggy/broken is it? Expeditions always are at the start.

[sharp turtle]

havent had any trouble

[copper kettle]

yo those rich veins were juicy

[astral badge]

pretty so far, my ocean base keeps deeleting itself

[finite sinew]

@brisk plover I had no issues really via ps5

[sharp turtle]

doesnt look like it does anything particularly weird, so maybe it wont break

[finite sinew]

Couldn’t go to any bases in the space station but that’s typical so what ever lol , other that was smoothe sailing I felt

Just grindy

[brisk plover]

Is it hampering progress on anything? Blocking a goal?

[arctic anchor]

does someone have an idea of an planet near adtow for a sunken frighter ?

[unkempt kraken]

<:info:850810445577453658> Expedition 17: Milestone Tips

Phase 2

• Bottled Lightning: New Aftesfi (Starter Planet) and Toletho Omega (Rendezvous 3 planet) are suitable for this milestone.
• Meal in a can: Claim Bottled Lightning and install prebuilt Hazmat Gauntlet exosuit tech. Ebinin P10 planet in Eiestori (Rendezvous 1 system) has Gamma Root on resource list, land and start looking for Gamma Weed plant icons with analysis visor.

Phase 3:

• Fathoms Below: Cannot be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 planet), can be left behind, and completed in Rendezvous 5 planet for example
• Crush Zone: Can be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 Planet), especially if you already installed Aqua Jets. Will want to have Nautilon exocraft for this one. Example coordinates +4.44, -69.93

Phase 4

• Plasmic Oceans: New Aftesfi (Starter Planet) and Toletho Omega (Rendezvous 3 planet) are suitable for this milestone.
  

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[astral badge]

just on the surface of the water, far away from anything, not at the redevus directly, 3 bases are actually much closer to the rendevus than I am

[arctic anchor]

ahh it gets updated pog thx

[cerulean olive]

And that’s another one done. Thanks, HG. It was fun.

[wraith junco]

I did leaved this task for last. U can do tasks out of order.

[frozen condor]

any location for that damn underwater crashed freighter? my scanner is broken ..cant find nay building no matter where i swim

[quasi furnace]

what expedition was the wraith originally from?

[wraith junco]

This exp

[quasi furnace]

my friend said they got it long before exp 17 came out

[proud harbor]

None

[quasi furnace]

I went to check and they do

[wraith junco]

He Moded it in

[surreal badger]

whats the best way to farm storm crystals?

[wraith junco]

Stroll on gas giant

[remote thunder]

#nms-expedition message

[mighty grotto]

My staff glitched. It says that i already redeemed, but I didn’t. It happened to anyone else?

[fair relic]

OMG LOL

[mighty grotto]

Gas giant

[stray spoke]

People could get the Wraith before the expedition, but not legitimately, unless they're staff.

[fair relic]

I completed a milestone even before the initialization finished

[severe tangle]

where can i find a 1,000u deep ocean in the expedition?

[fair relic]

I spawned in a tornado

[remote thunder]

haha

"nice"

sucked you right in it seems heh

[spice locust]

How do you survey moons of they're already scanned by other players? Scanning already discovered ones don't count and landing on it didn't due anything. All the other systems in the areas are discovered with so many people on.

[remote thunder]

ok so

[fair relic]

SHIT

It blew me away from my star ship

I'm 15 min walking away

[remote thunder]

if just landing isn't working, then you'll probably have to take a black hole or two, then warp up/down/left/right and away from the black hole exit system

[flint gulch]

Bought my living ship into the expedition. Seemed fitting given the final reward

[wraith junco]

Ez 1st task done. Speedrun strats xd

[dapper pumice]

haha

[quasi furnace]

certified yap session to unlock familiar

[round gulch]

adtow

[void citrus]

How do I complete children of the giants, im in the starting system scanning em but it's not progressing it

[quasi furnace]

i think you just need to land on them for a few seconds, open your analysis visor then leave

[remote thunder]

definitely not a bad time to farm storm crystals, to get footsteps for the walked 9000u milestone, getting crystalized helium for another milestone and refining to dust, quartzite/activated quartzite to refine to chromatic metal

[quasi furnace]

worked for me

[tidal pollen]

expedition hype

[stray spoke]

Land on them and get out of the ship. That's it.

[void citrus]

Oh, it says scan em from space

[jagged sequoia]

so anyone else stuck on finding an underwater freighter? because i even went out of my way to get a planetary disress signal chart and literally nothing showed up

[remote thunder]

@spice locust ofc, you are landing and exiting ship on the moons, yes?

[remote thunder]

• Fathoms Below: Cannot be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 planet), can be left behind, and completed in Ipto XIV (Rendezvous 5 planet) for example. Use Nautilon, install High Power Sonar on it, then quick menu/scan for buildings/sunken freighter.

[jagged sequoia]

so now im just going from system to system looking for an aqautic planet

[nimble spear]

Is the expedition live on xbox? Or is there gonna be a week delay like the last expedition?

[remote thunder]

"mapping" means landing and exiting ship ofc

[bright viper]

are there any resources with recommendations for waht to bring into this expedition?

[hushed heart]

freighter room oughtta work as well

[fresh ice]

does the rdv 3 gas giant have water

[waxen slate]

Anyone else stuck trying to create anti matter in the starter system? I can't find copper to turn into chromatic metal

[remote thunder]

yes, but no freighter at that point

[remote thunder]

refine quartzite/activated quartzite into chromatic metal

[remote thunder]

yes

@fresh ice e.g. #nms-expedition message

[proud harbor]

Get storm crystals from the giant, sell them to a space trader and buy antimatter

[waxen slate]

Oh thank you! I didn't know about quartzite

[remote thunder]

starter system is abandoned, no traders unless you were thinking of space encounter trade pilot

[remote thunder]

for now, the basics, +1 lubricant, +3 magnetic resonator, +6 sulphide

[cerulean olive]

You don’t need copper. You can refine the new resource to get it too. Quartzite.

[north star]

Im having this weird problem where the mission objective on the bottom right is flickering between itself and something else

[nimble spear]

Is anyone here playing on xbox?

[remote thunder]

!hg @north star

[unkempt kraken]

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

[azure ice]

Anyone on PlayStation want to teach me how to play

[north star]

my bad

[wraith junco]

#nms-lfg-or-trades

[woven shadow]

There we go I got what I need to charge the hyperdrive

[azure ice]

?

[stray spoke]

There was no week delay for the last e pedition on Xbox. I play on Xvox only.

[remote thunder]

@north star it stopped doing it for me when i completed all milestones from phase 2

[north star]

Funny thing is it started happening after I did that

[remote thunder]

wait then

[remote thunder]

did you complete phase 3 milestone 1 already?

[north star]

Working on it

[thorny turret]

I see all these rocks and yet no ferrite!

[remote thunder]

complete that one and let me know if it stops; because i did that one in rdv2 as well

and was like doing multiples at the same time

[hushed heart]

there are tiny rocks in craters and there's 1 rock underground that gives ferrite

[tidal pollen]

on the starter gas giant? there are different tiny rocks with it

[remote thunder]

get crystalized helium or rusted metal from cargo drops (green crates) and refine to dust

[nimble spear]

Oh cool so this expedition is live then I'm assuming?

[stray spoke]

There are at least 3 types of minerals that give ferrite on the starter gas giant.

[hushed heart]

4

[stray spoke]

It is indeed. I'm doing it now!

[stray spoke]

Yeah, I don't think I got any underground ones.

[nimble spear]

Sweet just got off work heading home to start it lol

[stray spoke]

Enjoy!

[surreal badger]

im a bit confused. i warped through the expedition route to what i thought was the starting zone again but i cant find a gas giant for the life of me

[remote thunder]

New Aftesfi (Starter Planet) and Toletho Omega (Rendezvous 3 planet) are suitable for this milestone.

see this post for system names #nms-expedition message

[bright viper]

I found a guide that says you need "lubricant" on the expedition, do you just need one?

[remote thunder]

yes, as i mentioned before, just 1

[bright viper]

my bad I missed your reply - thanks!

[spice locust]

yes, I am.

[subtle thunder]

Expedition 17 completed 😎

[broken birch]

What's up everyone, I'm about to start the new expedition, what would be good to bring with me

[hushed heart]

3 day blinding stew

[tidal pollen]

damn I just reached rendevouz 1

[tidal pollen]

bring a stew that makes you blind for 3 days

[broken birch]

Yeah okay

[subtle thunder]

Just bring a crap ton of all the elements

[quasi furnace]

break a bunch of the rocks and you’ll collect lots of geodes

which you can break open to get ferrite, pure ferrite and magnetized

[solid horizon]

How easy/difficult is the new expedition?

[remote thunder]

for now, the basics ( see #nms-expedition message ), +1 lubricant, +3 magnetic resonator, +6 sulphide

[remote thunder]

easy

[quasi furnace]

There’s no real difficulty, just follow the steps

[jagged sequoia]

do you remember the name of the system the gas giant from 4 is

[quasi furnace]

should be fine for new players after the first milestone

[tidal pollen]

not tiresome like The Cursed out of 10

[remote thunder]

see this post #nms-expedition message - rdv3 and starter system have gas giants

[jagged sequoia]

i accidentally warped away after doing the rende like a bufoon but need it

[proud harbor]

Tisug 24/B5 begs to differ

[fair relic]

Shit nearly got wiped out by lightning

[quasi furnace]

what’s wrong with Tisug

[remote thunder]

goto a station teleporter, see image, always visit stations of rdv systems

[proud harbor]

Last one I need for moons milestone

[hushed heart]

i had my first death in years in this expedition. went to get the tornado objective completed at the start and couldn't get out before it smacked me into the ground a few times

[proud harbor]

Nvm

Found it

[fringe sierra]

I also recommend dropping a base computer as well since those come back to ur main save with u

[jagged sequoia]

i didnt go into the space station

[brisk plover]

Oh. Right. If I'm in Permadeath and then I switch that character over to the expedition, and then I die, is my save deleted?

[remote thunder]

still check them anyway, in some expeditions simply entering the rdv system adds their station to teleporter

[quasi furnace]

people are sleeping on Resid Prime, you can get a lot done there

[proud harbor]

It's a pretty red, I'll give it that.

[brisk plover]

So... hypothetically, I could earn all the death-related titles in an expedition for my permadeath character?

[jagged sequoia]

pee screen

[hushed heart]

i think death achievements are account wide. you could get them on an entirely new character

[remote thunder]

i think so, yes

basically, titles are unlocked acct wide

[brisk plover]

Huh. I know I've died before on other saves. How do I not have those titles? 🤔

[nova maple]

anyone know where to do the 'winds of change' on phase 4?

[remote thunder]

that's odd yeah i think

[hushed heart]

starter planet

[remote thunder]

try on any gas giant: starter planet or rdv3 planet

[agile delta]

when somebody typed "rest in peace" and you took it with another meaning

[nova maple]

been running around for over an hour not finding tornados

[hushed heart]

you're on the gas giant, right?

[nova maple]

ill try rdv3

[surreal badger]

anything specific i need to farm for storm crystals or do i only need to be on the gas giant during the storm?

[stray spoke]

Yeah, I did it without trying to.

[nova maple]

yup

[hushed heart]

that's odd

[woven shadow]

Hm…. I have to find where to sell my stuff especially my upgrades

[remote thunder]

go towards mountains, and hang around, they'll eventually start spawning

[woven shadow]

And all the systems around here are abandoned!

[remote thunder]

there's inhabited systems around

remember that any yellow star system is always inhabited

[nova maple]

ill give it a go thanks

[woven shadow]

Well I got my regular ship from the Anomaly at least so I can reach one

[remote thunder]

any ship with a base hyperdrive tech can reach yellow star systems

[woven shadow]

I mean more like range and being able to jump around

[remote thunder]

they're really common, yellow star systems are a dime a dozen

[tacit pollen]

any tips to find Storm Crystal?

[proud harbor]

Gas giant

[tidal pollen]

walk around on the starting planet

[surreal badger]

do you need to farm something specific for the storm crystal or just anything?

[tidal pollen]

one of the first things you can find is storm crystal

if you scan around with your visor

[remote thunder]

use visor, look for the ⚡ yellow icon

[tacit pollen]

thanks guys

[gaunt lake]

I should probably stop bringing my stupidly overpowered ship into Expeditions lol

[remote thunder]

just be on a planet with them, grab them when they're active - on gas giants, they always are. on non-gas giants, only during extreme storms.

[shrewd onyx]

Starting system's good for them – land on the gas giant (again).

[remote thunder]

rdv3 planet is also a gas giant

[tidal pollen]

me after a minor inconvenience with the starter ship claiming another one from a past expedition

[gaunt lake]

LMAO

[zenith shale]

lol I’ve been thinking of getting my multitool.. I usually do that. But it’s kinda ruining the fun😂. I might not do it this time.

[tidal pollen]

I'm not gonna grab my multitool this time because I wanna use the expedition one when we get it lmao

[boreal violet]

Working 100% now

In camera mode you press the xbox logo button once and that brings up your home menu overlay on left side then while that menu is still showing you tap Y.

[tidal pollen]

I think this is the first time I bake bread in NMS

[remote thunder]

i'll add that to my tips post as well, was thinking about it already

[slate nymph]

Adrift made me bake bread so Titan was my second time

[verbal talon]

Anyone beat the expedition?

[gaunt lake]

I always grab my starship and multitool because of the reasons why
-# (I like bringing my Aeron with me everywhere.)

Oh boy, time to go to a [REDACTED] Planet!

[meager warren]

what exactly does Children Of Giants want, all moons fully catalogued or just boots on the ground of each one?

[verbal talon]

I always do that. Constantly having to refuel my ship gets annoying when I can just get my near infinite fueled solar.

[gaunt lake]

Boots on ground

[broken birch]

Gqhelp here goes nothing, expedition commences

[meager warren]

tySm 🙏

[gaunt lake]

I rarely ever have to refuel my Aeron because of how big its tanks are

[spice locust]

Anyone else had issues getting the "Survey moons if a gas giant" mission to work? I have taken a black hole and found an undiscovered gas giant system. Scan the moons, land on the moons, scan stuff on them, and it still doesn't register anything towards the milestone/challenge

[gaunt lake]

And I don't have to worry about hyperdrive fuel because an 1850 LY jump takes like 4%

[gaunt lake]

It wants you to survey those of the starting system

[remote thunder]

that sounds like it's bugged. what platform are you on?

[proud harbor]

Land on all the moons in a gas giant system and hop out of your ship

[remote thunder]

ftr, they did try, and also didn't work

[gaunt lake]

Oh oof

[gaunt lake]

They did

[boreal violet]

I worded it better now (edited)

[gaunt lake]

Scan the moons, land on the moons, scan stuff on them

[spice locust]

Xbox Series X

[gaunt lake]

"because of the reasons why" is now my favourite explanation for why I do anything lol

[remote thunder]

ty

[remote thunder]

try restarting the game? perhaps offline (not just multiplayer disabled)? and then try redoing the moons on the starter system?

[boreal violet]

I take it the system to find a crashed freighter underwater has to be one with lifeforms showing?

[north star]

It didn't fix but I saw that it was trying to switch to the third milestone so that's probably what fixes it

[jagged sequoia]

neat

[remote thunder]

correct, i did it in rdv5 for example

[remote thunder]

the sea glass one? hmm might be yeah

[north star]

Yea that one

[ivory copper]

Which planet?

[surreal badger]

is there a way to ground a gravestone lol, i died to a tornado and now my grave is 35u up in the air

[remote thunder]

terrain manipulator/create

create a stair, or a wall so that you can face hug while jetpacking (wont drain jetpack tanks that way)

[jagged sequoia]

neat planet ngl

[mighty grotto]

On the planet that tracks you to rv 5

[novel crane]

Ive put a base at a underwater friegheer on the 5th meeetup planet

so its easier to find from space

[mighty grotto]

Me too

[ivory copper]

I don't see the base but it's fine

[mighty grotto]

Really?

😔

[jagged sequoia]

aint no way bro got a sentinal ship during this

[onyx lodge]

fuck yeah

[mighty grotto]

It’s very possible, but he can copy a ship he already owns

[mental copper]

every rendezvous system has a dissonant world, why not get one

[novel crane]

just put up so should be uploaddddedd

[mental copper]

when I finish the expedition, does all the currency I have get added to my main save?

[remote thunder]

if you started from existing save, yes

[static brook]

Expedition 17 is now going?

[woven shadow]

Ooooh new Exosuit upgrades!

[harsh willow]

Is there an easy way to find water on a gas giant? The constant storms make it very difficult to see.

[mental copper]

sweet

[onyx lodge]

yes

[static brook]

Im sure you have to leave gas giant to see water?

[onyx lodge]

there were rocks with water pools on the first gas giant

[harsh willow]

You really can’t because the clouds block the surface.

[onyx lodge]

can those be fished in

[remote thunder]

the way i found some was using photo mode while flying, setting fog to 0%, and moving camera past weather bubble, while moving the sun. check this post, <#nms-expedition message>, has latitude+longitude coordinates you could use in rdv3 planet.

[harsh willow]

I found a suitable one already. I am not going back to the first giant.

[jagged sequoia]

...

[verbal talon]

Dude there's like no ferrite dust on the planet. Idk what I'm supposed to do.

[mental copper]

if I want to copy the ship i’m using in the expedition to my main save, does the cargo transfer as well or does that get wiped?

[woven shadow]

There are damaged crates with rusted metal and you get a refiner pretty early on

[tepid grove]

"No water-worlds in current system"
The planet that shows "waterworld": Am I a joke to you?

[mental copper]

yes

[hushed heart]

iirc cargo is wiped but tech is preserved

[mental copper]

ah nice

[cedar badger]

Does anyone else have a bug where the objectives keep cycling every single frame nonstop?

[harsh willow]

I don’t think there are fog settings on PS5.

[nova nova]

Any1 stuck on phantom below I can't find a freighter I've been searching for an hour

[remote thunder]

in photo mode? there absolutely should be an option to set fog, clouds, etc to 0%

you sure you're bringing up photo mode settings?

[remote thunder]

yes

Is there a pin for tips related to this expedition

[onyx lodge]

you're in a populated system right?

[remote thunder]

here, went and found one for you in rdv5 planet,

[nova nova]

Anyone?

[tepid grove]

Cause I can't find a 1,001u+ Depth oceab

[severe cloak]

Structures aren't spawning for me on water planets, even in the rendezvous system. (this is me searching for a crashed freighter)

[jagged sequoia]

oh wow

[novel crane]

last place you met up hhas loads, put a bse at it

[jagged sequoia]

im glitched and cant do anything now

[onyx lodge]

the water world on the 2nd rendevous

[nova nova]

?

[remote thunder]

start reading here #nms-expedition message, post after it/the nautiilon shot has coordinates lower left

[jagged sequoia]

expeditions save on leaving ship right?

[remote thunder]

exit galaxy map, try again?

[jagged sequoia]

cant do anything

[severe cloak]

I assume this is the same bug I reported ages ago where the structures didn't spawn outside of the expedition on water worlds, especially on deep ocean planets.

[onyx lodge]

why do ppl go through black holes in expeditions

[ivory copper]

I got it. My original problem must've been that I was on rdv2 planet

I have finished the expedition

[remote thunder]

cant find crashed freighters or buildings than not portals in uncharted systems, systems with no space station

[zenith shale]

Any major bugs found? Or?

[dapper pumice]

how do i get chromatic metal

[jagged sequoia]

i couldnt move my camera I couldnt esc it was not frozen had to alt f4

[nova nova]

How did u find the freitor

[remote thunder]

refine quartzite/activated quartzite

[dapper pumice]

idk what that is but ok

[drifting heath]

The quest pop up flickering in and out 100 times persecond

[severe cloak]

2nd randezvous system I believe has a destroyed space station. it's abandoned

[ivory copper]

Immediately when I got to Rendezvous Planet 5

[remote thunder]

• Fathoms Below: Cannot be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 planet), can be left behind, and completed in Ipto XIV (Rendezvous 5 planet) for example. Use Nautilon, install High Power Sonar on it, then quick menu/scan for buildings/sunken freighter.

[zenith shale]

Very annoying, yes😂.

[remote thunder]

rdv2 is uncharted, has no station

[severe cloak]

hm

thought it did

[nova nova]

Ok

[severe cloak]

that's annoying

[remote thunder]

System: Haporin
Planet: Adtow

systems are all fairly close, well within warp distance

there's a inhabited station further up in the route with s-class hyperdrive modules

[severe cloak]

I just went to the next system in the randezvous line.

has a planet with water

[onyx lodge]

i found a carbon rich plant so i'm sorted for carbon

[queen nova]

What is with this quest switching back and forth it's annoying a hell

[remote thunder]

i did it in rdv5 because i didn't see a planet with water on my route through rdv4, that was the only reason

[severe tangle]

i cant find a tornado on this giant

[remote thunder]

bug

please report

!hg @queen nova

[unkempt kraken]

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

[queen nova]

It's soo annoying

[remote thunder]

@queen nova keep completing milestones from phase 2 and 3 and it should stop, it did for me

[remote thunder]

go towards mountains

and hang around

[queen nova]

Alright

[onyx lodge]

i got a tornado as soon as i started lol

[severe tangle]

im on the 3rd rendezvous planet and ive been running for 15 minutes

[jagged sequoia]

can someone inform me how tf am I suppose to name something I discovered if everything is discovered and named

[remote thunder]

i didn't run at all, i just waited, and listened, and looked around to see where they were. i was fishing and there was a tornado on the mountain slope next to me the whole time. it seems to me that they're really common.

[proud harbor]

Cant

[onyx lodge]

warp around

[jagged sequoia]

i did it as I complained some random fuckin rock I named rock

[remote thunder]

you'll have to branch out outside of expedition route galaxy area - or find something like a rock or a plant not yet discovered on some planet that's not the rdv planets, but may be in the rdv systems

[remote thunder]

done

[bright viper]

I was just going to come and ask about that, so seriously I have to hunt around looking for something one of the other players didn't beat me to? sounds like a PITA

[tidal pollen]

it doesn't seem like that much of a hassle

[ashen shore]

need help with the expedition mission where i need to " take a photo at the first Rendezvous" is that before or after warping for the first time? and what am i looking for exactly ?

[sage mulch]

anyone know how to complete this one? I've been searching underwater for a while now haven't come across any sunken freighters, using the scanner and all that

[remote thunder]

i mean, it's not like it's mission critical this milestone; you could just simply leave it for the end, after getting all rdv milestones, and then go through a black hole or two or three, then warp away from the area of the black hole exit system and try again

[remote thunder]

• Fathoms Below: Cannot be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 planet), can be left behind, and completed in Ipto XIV (Rendezvous 5 planet) for example. Use Nautilon, install High Power Sonar on it, then quick menu/scan for buildings/sunken freighter.

[sage mulch]

Oh wow okay great insight thanks alot!

[remote thunder]

uncharted systems have no buildings but a portal per planet, so no sunken freighters either

[simple jacinth]

How to get the chromatic metal for the first jump?

[verbal talon]

Get some copper with the terrarin manipulator.

[remote thunder]

refine quartzite/activated quartzite

[simple jacinth]

My planets dont have copper...

[simple jacinth]

Gotcha thanks

[verbal talon]

Then you can use quartzie

ok

[ashen shore]

id what is a Rendezvous and where do i find the first one for "The Chronicle : 1 " T 3 T 💔

[crude sorrel]

Hello everyone ,someone can help me ?

[frank basalt]

Anyone having fun with the Expedition so far? This will be my 2nd one, I'm collecting some things before I go, I am pretty excited for it!

[remote thunder]

select the rendezvous 1 milestone first, then open galaxy map, select the expedition route destination at the top, find the marked system by the expedition icon

[remote thunder]

with?

[nova maple]

gunna give up looking for tornados on the gas giants an maybe try again tomorrow, only one i have left must be a glitch

[crude sorrel]

@remote thunder i have a problem with mission take piture (i'm french my english is to bad )

[onyx lodge]

which one?

[remote thunder]

what platform are you on?

[crude sorrel]

@remote thunder PS5

[proud harbor]

Camera then sreenshot

[remote thunder]

so what happens, you're on the rendezvous planet, on foot possibly, then you open quick menu, scroll right, photo mode, and then?

[onyx lodge]

i think you can just enter canera mode

not even take the screenshot

[remote thunder]

no, you need to grab the screen

wont count by just entering photo mode

[onyx lodge]

worked for me

[crude sorrel]

@remote thunder i take picture multiple picture on the good planet but mission dont finished

[remote thunder]

has never worked that way afaik

[remote thunder]

To have the Expedition Photo mission register on PS5, aside from being on the right type of planet:

• In Photo Mode
• Use the 'Share' button, depending on how you have it configured. Hold to snap a shot or single press.
• If configured to single press for a screenshot and hold to get the screenshot menu. You need to be in that menu to use the middle option to snap a shot. otherwise it won't register.

[fleet field]

I went to ren 3 did the thing but never took the picture now I’m lost does anyone remember where exactly it is 😅

[remote thunder]

see this post #nms-expedition message, it can be anywhere on that planet though afaik

[crude sorrel]

@remote thunder thanks i retry it

[dapper jetty]

how tf do i get carbon on this planet

[drifting heath]

I came here to play the Expedition, not subnautica o.o'

[onyx lodge]

by mining plants

[dapper jetty]

there are not plants 😭

[remote thunder]

remember to quickscan for carbon crystals, dismantling rocket launcher and neural stimulator from ship and exosuit will give you more condensed carbon as well

[onyx lodge]

also some rocks my have oxygen i think

[dapper jetty]

yes but not carbon

[onyx lodge]

oxygen can be refined into carbon

[crude sorrel]

@remote thunder i have 25 screenshot of the objectif and it doesn't work

[quasi furnace]

PSA there is a bug when redeeming the Pillar of Titan where your held multi tool will be renamed and the model change on the quickbar, but it’s just visual

[hollow sonnet]

Blud didn't read the release notes
Added Gas Giants
Added Purple star systems
Added Subnautica

[remote thunder]

are you like, being patient? you open photo mode, what button does it say you need to press to get the screenshot, in the photo mode UI?

[remote thunder]

oh, gtk, ty

[acoustic shore]

How do you launch the new Titan expedition? The launch screen says "Community Expedition coming soon". Client is up to date.

[crude sorrel]

@remote thunder im not a idiot i know the button of my controller

[remote thunder]

what platform are you on? are you online?

[acoustic shore]

STeam

[agile crane]

Does anyone know where on the planet rendezvous 2 is? I got the milestone of it immediately when I landed here but I can't see it and I can't get the picture of it.

[acoustic shore]

Oh, do you have to be signed in? Joy.

[remote thunder]

i didn't call you an idiot, did i? i was asking because i myself don't know, because i don't have a ps5, and it would be easier for me to try and help

[jagged sequoia]

cinematic moment

[remote thunder]

it doesn't matter, a picture of anything on that planet works

[acoustic shore]

Ok, I signed in. Still says:

[neon junco]

Uhhh how do we get ferrite on the starting planet? None of the minerals provide it

[crude sinew]

refine crstallised helium

[neon junco]

But I need ferrite to make a refiner

[crude sinew]

You get it as a reward for either storm crystals or a tornado

Iirc

[rocky kernel]

You get it by finding your ship

[crude sorrel]

@remote thunder it working i made 35-45 screenshot

[crude sinew]

Oh lol my bad.

[neon junco]

Ooooh ok it's thru rewards, I get it. Thanks!

[flint gulch]

Phase 2 done. I like this expedition

[remote thunder]

claim phase 1 milestone 1 for prebuilt exosuit personal refiner

install it

[crude sinew]

I'm enjoying it too!

[crude sorrel]

@remote thunder thank for your help

[quasi furnace]

addendum: my voltiac staff changed to a rifle type along with the animation

[remote thunder]

weird yeah

[half olive]

This was fun

[jagged sequoia]

what planet did yall say I could do the freighter on

im at R5

[remote thunder]

that's the one, Ipto XIV

<:info:850810445577453658> Expedition 17: Milestone Tips

Phase 1

• Ignition: For ferrite dust you can refine crystalized helium and rusted metal (damaged crates), and for Chromatic Metal you can refine Quartzite or Activated Quartzite

Phase 2

• Bottled Lightning: New Aftesfi (Starter Planet) and Toletho Omega (Rendezvous 3 planet) are suitable for this milestone.
• Meal in a can: Claim Bottled Lightning and install prebuilt Hazmat Gauntlet exosuit tech. Ebinin P10 planet in Eiestori (Rendezvous 1 system) has Gamma Root on resource list, land and start looking for Gamma Weed plant icons with analysis visor.

Phase 3:

• Fathoms Below: Cannot be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 planet), can be left behind, and completed in Ipto XIV (Rendezvous 5 planet) for example. Use Nautilon, install High Power Sonar on it, then quick menu/scan for buildings/sunken freighter.
• Crush Zone: Can be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 Planet), especially if you already installed Aqua Jets. Will want to have Nautilon exocraft for this one. Example coordinates of a spot deep enough: +4.44, -69.93

Phase 4

• Plasmic Oceans: New Aftesfi (Starter Planet) and Toletho Omega (Rendezvous 3 planet) are suitable for this milestone. No need to use any bait.

-# This post will be updated if needed as expedition progresses.

"ignition/never look back"

i'll add that too

[lavish cedar]

Is there a reason my base isn't triggering the No Place Like Home milestone?

[remote thunder]

did you build the parts it wanted you to?

check the tooltip lower right

[lavish cedar]

What parts does it want?

check the hint, remember that you can force cycle them

[lavish cedar]

Ahhh

There we go

[crude sinew]

Ugh, my hints are always bugged - they kept telling me to explore the abandoned freighter, but dude I'm like 30sec into the expd and haven't even found my ship yet.

[half olive]

This expedition was very laid back. The only one that took me a little bit of time to do was the crush zone. But I eventually found an area that was deep enough.

[nocturne oasis]

Gonna be my very first expedition! All the tips and help left me feeling ready. Thanks for all the resources and wish me luck friends. o7

[lavish cedar]

I am SO glad I built like 200 ion batteries before I started the expedition

@nocturne oasis MAKE ION BATTERIES

[remote thunder]

abandoned freighter? do you have multiplayer enabled? sounds like you've got mp enabled, and someone spawned a derelict freighter

[lavish cedar]

and bring warp cells/hyerpcores into the storage slot

[nocturne oasis]

That I will do!

[arctic anchor]

there is no sea

on rendevouz planet no 5 is no see in sight

sea

[crude sinew]

MP disabled as soon as I could hit escape key.

[vale dome]

so im losing my mind rn, anyone know how to look for tornadoes for the phase 4 milestone?

[remote thunder]

goto space, look for the large water bodies

[jagged sequoia]

the funny thing is this expedition is the first time i fished

also

[remote thunder]

they're really common in gas giants (starter planet, rdv3 planet), or ofc, in extreme weather planets (which gas giants are)

[jagged sequoia]

I spawned in a tornado when i first started it

[remote thunder]

i mean literally, all i had to do was look up and find one spawned in the nearby hill on the starter planet

[lavish cedar]

Same. Well, my starship had a tornado spawn next to it

[vale dome]

i was running around on one for a while and couldnt get one to spawn. guess ill try and head back to it and see

[remote thunder]

just stop

like

just pause

don't run around

just pause

wait for world around you to turn for a bit

[wraith badge]

when do you gain access to the Anomaly?

[drowsy badger]

Does anyone know how to stop the flickering mission que and sound on the HUD in expeditions?? I'm new and this is a new issue and only in my Expedition, can't seem to find an answer yet?

[remote thunder]

after leaving starter system

[jagged sequoia]

I was just swirling around in the air off spawn and it flung me in the direction of my ship

[remote thunder]

reported bug; complete milestones from phase 2 and 3 and it should stop, it stopped for me

[lavish cedar]

Is Crystallized Helium good for anything?

[vale dome]

gotcha

[remote thunder]

!hg @drowsy badger

[unkempt kraken]

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

[drowsy badger]

Ill try thanks

[remote thunder]

refining to ferrite dust, there's a milestone that wants you to mine some

[lavish cedar]

Ferrite dust??

[remote thunder]

was a bit annoying having to deal with it for a bit, but once i did, and it might have been the sea glass milestone from phase 3, it stopped

[remote thunder]

all biome minerals except gold refine to dust e.g. ammonia, dioxite, paraffinium, rusted metal, crystalized helium

[copper ravine]

Anyone got a list of what to bring on the expedition?

[remote thunder]

for now, the basics ( see #nms-expedition message ), +1 lubricant, +3 magnetic resonator, +6 sulphide

dont necessarily need to bring sulphide, but it will help

[lavish cedar]

Well yeah, but I don't see that milestone you're talking about

[remote thunder]

phase 4:

Hazardous Materials - Gather Crystallised Helium: 256
Lithium x 999
Methane x 999

remember that previewing milestones ahead can save a few minutes sometimes

[lavish cedar]

Oh yeah, i just finished that

[eternal cedar]

One killed me <40 minutes in

[arctic anchor]

i just found a base on istir gamma called sunken freighter

its litteraly just peeking out of the water lmao

[vale dome]

im just waiting around for one to take me away

[eternal cedar]

@clever spade

You get given aqua jets for a milestone tbf

[remote thunder]

they normally are, even if for a bit

[eternal cedar]

Could copy your ship and MT when you get to Anomaly tbf

[proud harbor]

The blueprint

[proud harbor]

Yeah do that

[golden copper]

Lol spawned on a tornado during the initialization and got thrown in a cave

[vale dome]

guhh its like the last milestone i need for the expedition and it wont throw a nado at me

[arctic anchor]

nah i mean half of it isnt even in the water

[eternal cedar]

It killed me

[onyx lodge]

i hope i can beat the expedition without glitching out

[lavish cedar]

That's what I did, lol

[remote thunder]

yeah, when they spawn in shallower water

[eternal cedar]

Jokes on it I have no penalty for dying

[remote thunder]

modifying difficulty settings in expedition might not be a good idea sometimes

[golden copper]

I have an 8 minute run to my ship? LOL what

[remote thunder]

not too bad

you do have a milestone to collect storm crystals, another to collect crystalized helium, another to walk 9000u so..

[eternal cedar]

Gl

[onyx lodge]

the 9000u is easy

[remote thunder]

sure

just takes its time

[supple sleet]

yo anyone esle not able to find ferrite on the starting planet or am i just dumb

[bold atlas]

Yeah

[proud harbor]

Ain't even at Rondesvous 2 system yet and it's almost done. 8500 of 9000

[onyx lodge]

you'll do that without trying

[eternal cedar]

terrain manipulator underground to avoid the tornadoes

[severe tangle]

i finished the expedition and i went back to my main save and i have the ship but not the staff and it says its been claimed already but i dont have it.
anyone else having this issue?

[crude sinew]

Claim reward 1 (run to your ship) to get refiner. Refine crystallised helium

[remote thunder]

you did notice that i added two objectives before it that could easily contribute to it right? 😉

[onyx lodge]

refine the rusted metal into ferrite

[bold atlas]

I think I've got the 9000u milestone before I left the first system

[remote thunder]

yes, seen it reported by other players as well.

[crude sinew]

I think I've seen others in chat who had the same bug

[remote thunder]

doesn't seem to be a problem with runs started from new save

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[remote thunder]

just a matter of bug reporting

it'll get fixed

[onyx lodge]

lucky me

[keen escarp]

run to a message thing and there will probably be some there

[copper ravine]

Thanks

[bold atlas]

Mostly because I've decided to grab a bunch of things for Nutrient extractor, bake, scan aquatic creatures and of course, walk on the gas giant for crystallised helium and storm crystals

[remote thunder]

For ferrite dust you can refine crystalized helium and rusted metal (damaged crates)

[north helm]

cant land on water with aqua jets

just nothing happens i spam x and nothing

[keen escarp]

try pack them away in ur inv

and re equip them

[arctic anchor]

can i change color of the staff ?

arghg

[jagged sequoia]

question if I purchase the items I obtained specifically the multi tool and ship on another character does it come with the upgrades you got it with (not added after)

[bronze notch]

How long does this expedition take on average?

[remote thunder]

3-6h

[north helm]

nope nothing its like i just cant land

[bold atlas]

Depends how much multitasking with the objectives you do

[remote thunder]

it will come with their default layouts, like they were when you claimed them

[keen escarp]

tried leaving and rejoining?

[bold atlas]

You can get a lot of them in the first system alone

[jagged sequoia]

alright ty thats perfect

[eternal cedar]

Is it installed in your ship

[arctic anchor]

do i wanna put the stuff in here i wanna keep for after expedition did i understand that right ?

[remote thunder]

and aqua jets is fully installed? have you tried pulsing out to space a good bit, then flying back down and retrying?

[keen escarp]

yeah all the stuff you put in there you can claim on ur main save

[eternal cedar]

Go like 2500 tritium ish

[keen escarp]

and all ur money and stuff gets transfered automatically

[remote thunder]

yes. i'd recommend having the staff and ship equipped before you do

[fresh warren]

sigh....im tired of driving all over the ocean looking for a crashed freighter....

[keen escarp]

are you on the deep ocean planet per chance?

[proud harbor]

Sooo... do I accept this frieghter?

[remote thunder]

fly to it - you did install aqua jets on your ship already didn't you?

[fresh warren]

Adtow? yeah

[remote thunder]

@fresh warren

• Fathoms Below: Cannot be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 planet), can be left behind, and completed in Ipto XIV (Rendezvous 5 planet) for example. Use Nautilon, install High Power Sonar on it, then quick menu/scan for buildings/sunken freighter.

[fresh warren]

...jesus how did i keep misreading that

kept reading "cannot" as "Can"

[remote thunder]

uncharted systems have no buildings other than a portal per planet

[vale dome]

kill me

[remote thunder]

sure?

doesn't really matter

[keen escarp]

you wont get anything from claiming the freighter i usually just ask for payment instead

[remote thunder]

uh, you get a freighter

[onyx lodge]

i took payment for nanites

[remote thunder]

which can be useful for storage and such

[keen escarp]

on the expedition

no need for it

[remote thunder]

yes?

no, but some players like to.

[cyan mulch]

So....I'm off to a GREAT start.

[remote thunder]

what did you gain from requesting payment that really helped in expedition? the few nanites?

[eternal cedar]

does the music on expedition start have lore implications

[keen escarp]

freighter upgrade modules which i use on my main save

[remote thunder]

no?

[keen escarp]

yes

[remote thunder]

request payment doesnt drop an upgrade module

it drops a bulkhead

[eternal cedar]

Its the same ost as a part of In Stellar Multitudes

[onyx lodge]

terrain manipulator

[remote thunder]

an inventory upgrade

[keen escarp]

that is a storage upgrade module

[remote thunder]

not called upgrade module

[keen escarp]

same thing

[north helm]

tried all that just refuses to let me land. luckily there was a base nearby i could land on for second rendevous

[remote thunder]

upgrade modules are things that you install on your tech inventories lol

[gray raft]

Anyone else having a hard time finding a crashed freighter with the nautilon?

[buoyant pollen]

Anybody got any coords for an underwater freighter in the haporin system? im stressing

[remote thunder]

• Fathoms Below: Cannot be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 planet), can be left behind, and completed in Ipto XIV (Rendezvous 5 planet) for example. Use Nautilon, install High Power Sonar on it, then quick menu/scan for buildings/sunken freighter.

[gray raft]

Sweet thank you

[buoyant pollen]

awesome

[onyx lodge]

wait ppl stay at the rendevous areas for the whole phase

[buoyant pollen]

i do for organisation purposes

[onyx lodge]

i just dawdled around to other systems

[proud harbor]

I look through for what aren't locked to a system and do them as soon as I can

[gray raft]

Typically same, I assumed they'd have the necessary stuff in order lol

[buoyant pollen]

i've done a couple without meaning to like the ones in phase 5

[quasi furnace]

I’d love to build up each rendezvous area but the Desync and fps is unfavorable

sucks bc it seems like it would be really fun

[gray raft]

If I get a milestone from a phase I'm not actively doing its on accident lol

[buoyant pollen]

i dont see too much trouble, i just prioritise franerate and stuff

[onyx lodge]

same but sometimes are check the next phases for things i should do now

[proud harbor]

That's what I do

[gray raft]

I'm almost done with phase 5 for this one just on accident lol

[fair relic]

I'm really starting to hate this gas giant

It's so big

Finding the moons sucks

[proud harbor]

Fuck, I forgot aqua jets

[keen escarp]

so true

[gray raft]

This was the worst thing for me so far

[keen escarp]

flying for 30 seconds just to reveal 1 moon behind the gas giant 😭

[fair relic]

@keen escarp RIGHT!!!

[quasi furnace]

0.2 seconds without their main save starship and people are crumbling

[fair relic]

I wish we could mark the moons after we find them so we do t spend 30 mins trying to find it again

<:info:850810445577453658> Expedition 17: Milestone Tips

Phase 1

• Ignition/Never Look Back: For ferrite dust you can refine crystalized helium and rusted metal (damaged crates), and for Chromatic Metal you can refine Quartzite or Activated Quartzite

Phase 2

• Bottled Lightning: New Aftesfi (Starter Planet) and Toletho Omega (Rendezvous 3 planet) are suitable for this milestone.
• Meal in a can: Claim Bottled Lightning and install prebuilt Hazmat Gauntlet exosuit tech. Ebinin P10 planet in Eiestori (Rendezvous 1 system) has Gamma Root on resource list, land and start looking for Gamma Weed plant icons with analysis visor.

Phase 3:

• Fathoms Below: Cannot be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 planet), can be left behind, and completed in Ipto XIV (Rendezvous 5 planet) for example. Use Nautilon, install High Power Sonar on it, then quick menu/scan for buildings/sunken freighter.
• Crush Zone: Can be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 Planet), especially if you already installed Aqua Jets. Will want to have Nautilon exocraft for this one. Example coordinates of a spot deep enough: +4.44, -69.93

Phase 4

• Plasmic Oceans: New Aftesfi (Starter Planet) and Toletho Omega (Rendezvous 3 planet) (-36.24 latitude, -145.68 longitude for a spot if you're struggling) are suitable for this milestone. No need to use any bait.

-# This post will be updated if needed as expedition progresses.

[buoyant pollen]

i found a nice a class solar 🙂

[keen escarp]

my problem was remembering which ones i already visited

[proud harbor]

Fuck this, got the nantes for my ship

[dense swift]

do you need to have done in stellar multitudes before trying this expedition out on your main save?

[fair relic]

@unkempt kraken Thank you!!!!!

[remote thunder]

gunter's the best

[proud harbor]

Just need the anomaly unlocked

[fair relic]

@remote thunder thank god

I was trying to find a moon with copper

[remote thunder]

no need 🙂

wouldnt be able to anyway

[dense swift]

Gotcha. Saw the note about it leaving purple systems unlocked for new saves and wasn't sure

[vale dome]

still no tornado luck, they really rare or something?

[remote thunder]

i mean just take your ship and fly relatively low and slow

they're like, common, with lightning strikes popping in the middle

[keen escarp]

i got swept by one the second i spawned into the expedition 🥲

[vale dome]

wait u fly into them?

[clever spade]

is this lag

[fair relic]

@unkempt kraken can ypu send me the tips in private chat so I can come back to it if I need more help?

[remote thunder]

no, i mean, to be able to find them easier

[vale dome]

ohh heard

[remote thunder]

they'll eventually be pinned in this channel

remember, Gunter's a bot

(that we can call to run commands)

[keen escarp]

nah you cant teleport from the first planets, maybe all i didnt check

[remote thunder]

are you asking about the black pixels in the back?

[clever spade]

No i cant escape this screen

[clever spade]

No i cant leave this page

[keen escarp]

oh weird

[buoyant pollen]

imma travel pole to pole on a gas giant on foot...

[remote thunder]

you'll have to force close

[clever spade]

dam

[remote thunder]

autosave triggers every minute, won't be a problem

[clever spade]

ahh ok awesome

ty

[lavish cedar]

Whew.

[vale dome]

found one finalllllyyy

[lavish cedar]

Finally got the Mk2 refiner, and I had the foresight to bring a ton of uranium and O2, so I can just make my own gamma root

[remote thunder]

yay!

[autumn wraith]

Anyone having issues with taking a picture on the second rendezvous point? I’ve tried reloading my game and still won’t accept the pictures to progress

[onyx lodge]

god smiles down upon you

[remote thunder]

what platform are you on?

[autumn wraith]

PS5

[remote thunder]

this is usually an issue with consoles

yeah, ok, hold on

[buoyant pollen]

just tap it, dont hold it

[remote thunder]

To have the Expedition Photo mission register on PS5, aside from being on the right type of planet:

• In Photo Mode
• Use the 'Share' button, depending on how you have it configured. Hold to snap a shot or single press.
• If configured to single press for a screenshot and hold to get the screenshot menu. You need to be in that menu to use the middle option to snap a shot. otherwise it won't register.

[arctic anchor]

same , dont try to build tyourself up or you die twice

[buoyant pollen]

@autumn wraith you dont even need to take the screenshot to complete it, just tap the share putton instead of holding, that should activate it

[clever spade]

How do i survey moons?

[autumn wraith]

I tried but it’s still not working, is there a place I’m supposed to go to take a picture?

[proud harbor]

Under the water

[autumn wraith]

Nevermind it just popped up thanks guys

[remote thunder]

land and exit ship on them

[zenith sand]

can the new ship hover or dive into the water?

[crude sinew]

Yasss, refined enough to copy my normal ship. So gooood

[remote thunder]

it can be made to land on water with saline carapace, afaik it cant hover or dive

[proud harbor]

Anything specific ine rendezvous 2 system that can't be done later?

[frozen condor]

any location for the underwater crashed freighter? i cant find any

[crude sinew]

Fathoms Below: Cannot be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 planet), can be left behind, and completed in** Ipto XIV** (Rendezvous 5 planet) for example. Use Nautilon, install High Power Sonar on it, then quick menu/scan for buildings/sunken freighter.

[remote thunder]

get sea glass, do crush zone here

[frozen condor]

ha.. ok ty

[crude sinew]

I do good copy/paste

[remote thunder]

will be pinned soon

[buoyant pollen]

can u refine a specific thing to get paraffinium or do i need to mine it?

[frozen condor]

i finished everything and had no problem.. except that crashed freighter

[clever spade]

i have like no pulse engine charge wtf do i do theres no pyrite or trit anywhere

[eternal cedar]

If you look in certain menus it can direct you to planets to get it

[remote thunder]

could refine pyrite+dust for example, but there's multiple planets and moons in starter and rendezvous system with paraffinium on resource list

e.g. in starter system

[eternal cedar]

Keep boosting. Asteroids spawn eventually.

[buoyant pollen]

cheers @remote thunder

[clever spade]

they give gold or plat

[remote thunder]

got personal refiner installed already? refine gold to pyrite

[eternal cedar]

Keep shooting

[buoyant pollen]

now to do 57 laps around a gas giant for the moon i need

[clever spade]

oh u can do this

[remote thunder]

beltalowda

[north helm]

so seems like it didnt want to let me land within the zone of anyone’s base? i dont get it

[remote thunder]

yes, that's a known issue with expeditions sometimes

[buoyant pollen]

rendezvous 4, looking for ettono

@remote thunder

[north helm]

but then i landed on a base landing pad lmao go figure. at least i found my sea glass i guess

[remote thunder]

i didn't stay in rdv4 for long

[remote thunder]

and yeah 😅 that works for some reason, i remember experiencing that

[onyx lodge]

do you guys like this expedition?

[north helm]

lmao fun times

[north helm]

its been pretty fun. getting caught in a tornado when u werent expecting it however is not

[onyx lodge]

i found that fun tbh

[north helm]

it startled me lol

[onyx lodge]

i got swept up by the wind for harvesting oxygen

[north helm]

i was kinda zoned out. its not the first time its happened but idk i just didnt feel it coming lmao

[onyx lodge]

had to hide underwater until it was safe

[north helm]

i have a really funny clip actually of me catching my first legendary fish doing this

[onyx lodge]

nice

was it the singing crab thing

[fleet field]

Just finished after doing it for 8 hours

[onyx lodge]

take this out of context for gold

[fleet field]

Oh no 😭

[grave silo]

Ight my first expo is kinda going terrible

[fleet field]

NOOOO

[north helm]

no a titan of maw. im gonna post the clip in #nms-media

[fleet field]

Oo

[frozen condor]

k.. it worked

[crude sinew]

Yasss

[stable whale]

Can't seem to find a sunken freighter. Any tips?

[fleet field]

I’ve been clipped 😫

[remote thunder]

check the pinned posts

[onyx lodge]

even worse

[frozen condor]

Fathoms Below: Cannot be done in Adtow (Rendezvous 2 planet), can be left behind, and completed in Ipto XIV (Rendezvous 5 planet) for example. Use Nautilon, install High Power Sonar on it, then quick menu/scan for buildings/sunken freighter.

[fleet field]

I’m just gonna keep my mouth shut

[onyx lodge]

probably a good idea

[crude sinew]

Good job, padawan

[clever spade]

im tryna find tisug from leaving tessya and its impossible to find

am i doping smth wrong

[remote thunder]

are you using ship first person camera and the miniradar to guide yourself more or less? i'd not care about the discoveries tab at all

[harsh willow]

I’m close to giving up trying to find water. How are you supposed to find water on these planets, they are colossal?

[clever spade]

im in first person, is that bad

[blissful onyx]

use the radar they mean

in first person

it will locate all planets moons fleets etc

[remote thunder]

can certainly take time to find water on gas giants. maybe coords posted by others could help. perhaps traveling to the poles would help.

[frozen condor]

what i did was i pulse far from the planets and checked if all visible ..the pulse back to it

[remote thunder]

the miniradar can help locate where planets and moons are

[nimble niche]

Hey y’all, having a bit of a tricky issue with phase one, with surveying all the moons of a gas giant - does that mean finding undiscovered moons orbiting a gas giant? Or is it something else?

[crude sinew]

Land on each moon. Step out of ship.

[frozen condor]

the tricky part for me was finding copper for the warp thing :D.. had to search for terminals lol 😄 well it wasnt that hard but a little annoying

[remote thunder]

refine quartzite/act quartzite for chromatic metal

[crude sinew]

You can tell which ones you've not visited if it's a pre-discovered system, by going to the discoveries screen - if you've not stepped on it, then it won't show flora/fauna when you click on it.

[north helm]

that quartzite ratio goes crazy btw

[onyx lodge]

yeah

[frozen condor]

sean should update the info bcs there is nothing about quartzite can be refined into chromatic metal.. so rip

[nimble niche]

Oh, odd. I’ve landed on multiple moons but it’s not showing on the 0/4 ticker, it doesn’t go up when I land & exit ship

[onyx lodge]

800 chromatic metal

[remote thunder]

i saw this gettin reported by another player as well

[nimble niche]

Awh heck, a bug?

[remote thunder]

can you try going completely offline, not just mp disabled, and try again

[nimble niche]

Oooh lemme try

[remote thunder]

remember to also stick around the planet for a few seconds, exiting ship ofc

but as soon as you step foot it should count

certainly with internet disabled, it should

[arctic anchor]

expedition was fun and not grindy

[remote thunder]

agreed

[onyx lodge]

a bit grindy but okay

[clever spade]

im still confused

i cant find planet

[onyx lodge]

are you just drifting in space?
