Tere is no heptaploid wheat on planet (moon) Euge?

Trying to do Expedition 17.

[sick sinew]

There is. Select the mission and do a target sweep.

Nuts for nanites is a good slogan sorta thing

[azure dune]

Alright, thank you !

[gleaming harbor]

How would one find such bases? Asking for a friend

[sick sinew]

I'd recommend visiting a gas giant

There are two in this expedition, both constantly storming

[sick sinew]

Look at the names

Nanite farm

Mould farm

[gleaming harbor]

Ahh okay I'm dumb

[sick sinew]

Nanites

[gleaming harbor]

Thanks

[sick sinew]

Idk there's a lot in the rendezvous systems

[grand lodge]

Go to a teleporter, look at “other bases” and look for names that have to do with mold or nanites

Playing these expeditions always makes me feel all warm and fuzzy about this community

People so helpful

[tranquil notch]

Trying to do the "no place like home" in phase 4 and it will not pop, have built several bases on a gas giant in the phase 1 2 & 3 rendezvous using 3 wood floors & roofs, 7 walls and a door. Even tried building bigger bases, anyone know if this is a bug or is there a specific planet i should be doing it on ?

[grand lodge]

I really am gonna have to play portal roulette for “legacy” huh

[quaint mason]

I think the expedition is bugged. It's impossible for me to build a base on the gas giant near rendezvous 3. Every location shows as invalid. Is every location taken? How are people able to complete "no place like home"?

[grand lodge]

I built one on the starter planet. Just flew around and found an empty spot.

[quaint mason]

Guess I'll go back there. Thanks for the tip.

[grand lodge]

(Did not end up portal roulette-ing but did need I think 8-10 warps before I got to anything I could name)

[red zealot]

am i the only one who finds it hilarious that hg wants you to build with TIMBER on a 200+ degree gas giant, with constant winds and debris flying around

[waxen kayak]

Hi, anyone manage to join a friend team for the expedition? When I try (both have already a save in the expedition) to join a friend that is playing the expedition, my game load in a different system. I can see I'm in the same team, but can find my friend and the main planet is not the same (it's called Mugi), and the space station is not abandoned. But I'm "in the expedition", I even unlocked a few steps without problems....

[woven shadow]

Looks like I will need to go to R5 to get the Fathoms Below milestone after all. It’s bugged for me on Adtow.

What I’m giggling at is the location of the final rendezvous

[lapis owl]

Hey, I think I may have soft lock my expedition and the last part when you get the new multitool I accidentally exchanged it and lost all my scanner mods now I can’t complete the scan something for 90,000 units

Anyone know where I can find some S class scanner mods

[grand lodge]

Titan: complete. I really liked this one.

[hollow shore]

Yikes. Not sure, but I'd suggest having a look at the Space Stations you have been to

[grand lodge]

And the wraith is incredibly cool looking

[dense bane]

what technology do you suggest i bring with me? ive currently got the portable refiner and hazmat gloves so far

[sonic gate]

I'm in the rendezvous 1 system and cannot for the life of me find storm crystals this is driving me insane

[grand lodge]

🤷 I did it on a new save with no trouble

[tranquil notch]

Thanks have submitted a bug report so annoying as this is the last task I had to complete

ok weird it is now asking for an alloy building instead of wood ????

[raw ruin]

That's odd, it asked for timber when I did it. It looks like you even built it right too.

[coral steppe]

How do I get chromatic metal in the starter system?

[hollow shore]

Look for Quartzite

[coral steppe]

ahhh appreciate it

[hollow shore]

@lapis owl I am in a yellow system pretty much next to RV3, which has S-class Scanner.
RV3 is shown towards the bottom. Galaxy core is shown in the back, my current system Asdush-Umul is shown, right above RV3

[zenith shale]

They’re on the gas giant for sure, I completed it on the gas giant.

[remote thunder]

take a look at this post #nms-expedition message

[high solar]

I'm having a lot of trouble finding a crashed freighter

[remote thunder]

are you using nautilon quick menu/scan/sunken freighter?

[high solar]

Yeah

It keeps saying building not found

[remote thunder]

and have you restarted the game completely after downloading 5.57 patch?

[high solar]

Yes

[remote thunder]

You may skip it and complete it later, on Ipto XIV instead (Rendezvous 5 planet), as an example.

[high solar]

I'm on an entirely ocean planet, and I keep taking off and landing on different spots on it and haven't found any

I see other people in the system finding them though

[remote thunder]

not sure why it's not working for some

[remote thunder]

don't matter. skip this milestone, you can complete it later

in a diff system

e.g. rendezvous 5

Thank you ill check it out

[hexed badger]

how do i find a tornado

[remote thunder]

go waltz about in mountains in a gas giant

literally, stand there

tornadoes come for the player

listen to the wind

[trail musk]

I am also finding it impossible to build a base / nutrient refiner

[remote thunder]

look around

[remote thunder]

this is most likely being caused by another bug

@quaint mason to temp fix it, save, close game completely, launch game again, retry to build base comp

[trail musk]

It won't even let me build a portable refiner

[remote thunder]

@trail musk ^^

[trail musk]

Will try that then

[remote thunder]

it should let you build then

[hexed badger]

im on the r3 gas giant. it doesnt have mountains. will there still be tornadoes

[steady idol]

Just finished the expedition
Ship is stunning

[remote thunder]

it will have mountains, there's not any near you -- fly your ship back out into space, land at a completely different area. but yes, they should spawn pretty much everywhere

[trail musk]

Worked for me; TY

[hexed badger]

how long do i have to wait for the tornado to spawn

[remote thunder]

there's no way to tell

tornadoes are basically game difficulty, right?

so, they have their spawn chances and what not, i'm sure

but

from most experiences, all it really takes is just being patient

no real tips or tricks

[woven shadow]

Oh LOL I gotta build a base on a gas giant? Like I’ve been doing in my main save?

I think I need more pure ferrite

And a less crowded gas giant

[remote thunder]

remember, build the parts it wants you to, look at the tooltip lower right

[woven shadow]

I definitely need a less crowded gas giant though

(That’s not hard to find)

[hexed badger]

still not spawning lol

[remote thunder]

as i mentioned, this is going to be a matter of exploring a planet and eventually get caught up

listen to the wind

i can tell you that i explore extreme weather planets all the time, and it is literally a matter of time

stand still

[woven shadow]

Ugh the game crashed while I was in the galaxy map again

[hexed badger]

will it disappear if i move

[woven shadow]

This keeps happening

[runic crescent]

on a scale of 1/10 how painfully boring is this exped

[hexed badger]

happened to me as well

[hexed badger]

it's interesting so far, theyre making use of the super deep oceans and awesome new worlds in this exped.

[remote thunder]

just need to wait and listen, if you see a tornado, lightning strikes in the middle and rubble getting picked up, goto it, jump right in the middle

[runic crescent]

how long is it has anyone completed it?

[woven shadow]

People are having trouble with that milestone but I got it in the first 5 minutes

[runic crescent]

(i kinda wanna do it for the new ship)

[woven shadow]

I was on the gas giant where you start and whoops, tornado

[remote thunder]

lol, as any expedition, a few hours to completion

expeditions aren't meant to take days

[runic crescent]

hard pass then

ill just wait for cross save to be for everyone

whenever that will be

[remote thunder]

if you haven't seen the new planets added by worlds part2, exp17 is a great way to do it

not trying to convince you or anything

wondering if you wanted a long expedition or a short one lol

couldn't quite tell, doesn't matter either it seems

[hexed badger]

loads of people have completed it

[remote thunder]

don't know what they think "a few hours" meant either

[runic crescent]

its exploring the new worlds

do they already start unlocked?

[remote thunder]

you get access to purple star systems, yes

[runic crescent]

i have a big brain idea then

make a save on the new exped

[remote thunder]

i don't know if that will work

[runic crescent]

then just let it run out and not have to do the

😭

[remote thunder]

havent tried yet

i could let you know

[runic crescent]

i hate how the new systems are quest locked

[wraith junco]

Pepole demanded end game stuff soooooo...

[edgy badge]

So doing 17 now and to complete base on GG I need a construction research unit but it's not in build menu and didn't see it on the Anomoly. Where do I get it from? I also didn't see it in rewards

[woven shadow]

Hm I got to find some water on this thing

[remote thunder]

i didn't need to unlock a single part to complete the base building milestone. make sure that you're building what it wants you to build, not what you want to build

look at the tooltip lower right, follow it

[remote thunder]

look for caves (subterranean relic/humming sac), then for clams/sulphide (caves with water)

[edgy badge]

it tells me to build constrctin research unit and I don't have plans for that

[woven shadow]

It’s okay someone built a fishing base here

Wow this is a nice little base

And there’s a crystallized helium deposit close by too

[remote thunder]

show me

[steep bridge]

Use the anomaly instead

[remote thunder]

this isn't what i'm telling you to look at

this space here, is where the tooltips appear: often general ones, but also of the currently selected mission, or milestone in this case. you can force cycle them by pressing H multiple times

that's the tooltip, the hint

forget the mission Log

the mission Log only serves to select active mission almost

you could go almost an entire expedition, start to finish, without ever using the mission Log

[high solar]

Do some gas Giants not spawn tornados?

[remote thunder]

no, they all do

seriously people, it's a matter of PATIENCE

[high solar]

I've been standing on top of a mountain for like ten minutes and I just keep getting lightning

[remote thunder]

there's no point asking this all the time

go play the game

[steep bridge]

do they come to us or do we go to them

[remote thunder]

there's no tips for tornado spanwning

[left pivot]

finished in 9 hr 20 min. not bad. good exploration of new game elements

[lapis owl]

This worked ty ❤️

[remote thunder]

most people just need to enjoy the beauty of a gas giant, and before they know it, there's a tornado spinning around

[high solar]

Yeah, I mean usually in this game if I'm standing around for 10 minutes waiting for something to happen I'm doing it wrong. It's also a brand new feature.

Only reason I'm a bit confused.

[remote thunder]

there's no need to be confused

gas giants arent your average planets in terms of bad weather

[high solar]

Ah so it's an announced weather event?

[remote thunder]

no

they're part of the planets atmosphere

nobody knows what their spawn rules are

[high solar]

Got it

[remote thunder]

go fishing for example

[high solar]

I will keep standing here chugging ion batteries

[remote thunder]

i had to build a base to keep me from tornadoes around me, while fishing

[remote thunder]

there's a month left

[high solar]

In my main save there were tornados every minute on the gas giant I was on, like you said.

[remote thunder]

go try a different gas giant

if that makes you feel like you're doing something for it to happen

go back to the starter planet

lots got caught up in tornadoes there literally when they spawned in

[high solar]

Good idea, I'll try that

Lol I can't land in the space station either

[edgy badge]

see already have a base on GG planet but milestone not achieved yet

[remote thunder]

huh?

[steep bridge]

iirc you need to make 5 alloy walls, 3 alloy roofs and 1 alloy door and probably more

[blissful onyx]

Track the milestone it tells you exactly what is needed

3 or so timber floors 7 timber walls and some other stuff

[woven shadow]

So this Pillar of Titan multitool, I have to copy it to my main save to keep it, yes?

[remote thunder]

not necessarily, can just claim it from qs shop

[woven shadow]

Oh good.

I will have to try improving it in my main save.

[high solar]

Went back to the first gas giant and I got a tornado in less than ten seconds.

[trail musk]

Any ideas how to get the terrain manipulator unlocked for installation on the Expedition?

[remote thunder]

started from existing save or new save

[trail musk]

Existing

[remote thunder]

copy tool from primary

[pale laurel]

Is there any copper on the first system? I can't find it in any if the moons

[remote thunder]

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

[oak kiln]

Who’s brilliant idea was it to have one milestone require you to find a completely fresh system essentially

[quartz epoch]

Do all gas giants have water for fishing?

[loud siren]

I am having an issue where no matter what planet I am on I the expedition, when I try to place a base computer or anything else, it says invalid position.

[oak kiln]

Cuz needing to fly and warp to a completely new system just to hopefully find a re-nameable discovery is ludicrous

[remote thunder]

gentle reminder that there are hundreds and hundreds of waypoints per planet that can be renamed (fly around, slowly, spamming quick scan with your ship for a unknown building marker)

[oak kiln]

How do I even find those

[remote thunder]

yes. you may want to check the pinned milestone tips post, and/or look for caves in gas giants, which often have water

[quartz epoch]

Ahh thanks. I've read the pins, just struggling to find one

[remote thunder]

fly around, slowly, spamming quick scan with your ship for a unknown building marker

@quartz epoch
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Navigating to known latitude+longitude coordinates

Current latitude and longitude coordinates can be seen in several places:

• On foot, using Analysis Visor;
• On exocraft, lower left of the HUD;
• On ship, below 2000u altitude, using cockpit camera

Tips to navigate to coordinates:

• Compass at top center of the screen provides North/South icons, they can be used to easily get to the right latitude;
• Getting to the right longitude first might be easier, after you can just use N/S on compass to get to right latitude;
• If current position is still too far away from right coordinates, get in ship, align flight path to reach one of the coordinates, fly straight up to space out of the atmosphere, and keeping that flight path as best as possible, pulse drive around the planet for a couple seconds, as if you were in orbit, then drop back down into atmosphere to recheck current coordinates. With practice, you'll get better at guessing just how much time you'll need to pulse drive for, while initially you'll rely more on short pulse drive trips, rechecking coordinates more often before reaching destination.

Note: Often players will upload a base near the shared location; check local space station teleporter.

how do i disable the popup?

I have found nothing are you sure that’s how it works?

[chilly kayak]

Is there a trick to finding the sunken freightliner?

[woven shadow]

It crashed again! On the R5 planet this time.

I will restart my computer and see if that helps at all.

[remote thunder]

it's not "how it works" -- we don't know tornado spawn rules in gas giants. we just simply giving you things to try, because it seems that people don't really to just stand still, and hope weather actually catches up to them. for example, here's another thing: why not switch gas giants? if you're at rendezvous 3, try the starter planet instead.

[oak kiln]

Never mind

Found one Dino

Finally

[remote thunder]

are you using nautilon with high powered sonar tech installed, then while in nautilon, quick menu/scan/sunken freighter?

[remote thunder]

got mp disabled?

try downgrading graphics for a bit?

[grand lodge]

I found a tornado by accidentally getting swept up and killed by one almost first thing 💀

I’ve been in them before and it’s usually fine but this one bashed me into a hillside over and over

[quaint mason]

I’m seeing the same thing. I’m on PS5. Tried the starting gas giant and the rendezvous 3 one. Every place says invalid for the base computer. Definitely an expedition breaking bug. Hope HG fix it soon.

[loud siren]

I just figured it out. Apparently I hit the toggle free placement at some point.

Hit that and hopefully that helps you as well. 🙂

[stoic blade]

im not the expedition planet and i cant find no carbon anywhere

[chilly kayak]

Not sure what you mean

[grand lodge]

Red crystals

[turbid moon]

how so i find tesyya in the first system

[remote thunder]

just in case it's notdue to "free placement", then there's a known bug, and to temp fix: save, close game completely, launch game again, try again cc @loud siren

[turbid moon]

there is no way to make the planet so i have been flying in a circle for an hour

[remote thunder]

read this image:

[woven shadow]

I guess I should do that.

[remote thunder]

@hollow sundial please start reading there ^

Starter planet has some bases on water spots. I almost bonked right into one leaving the station.

[loud siren]

How do I make flour? I tried putting the wild yeast i got into the processor and it just gave me to the option to make it into wild yeast

[remote thunder]

follow the tooltip steps lower right

[loud siren]

Ah ok. >.> i missed that. Thanks

[remote thunder]

(hepta wheat turns into flour)

[hexed badger]

is anyone able to give me some tainted metal or something that refines into nanites for the expedition challenge

[turbid moon]

i still cant find it

[wintry void]

Coordinates for a Dissonant Resonator on dissonant planet in starter system.....those suckers are rare

[loud siren]

Have you gone to the nexus to talk with the two npcs that give nanites for discovery?

[vestal current]

Say, I was wondering, when do we unlock the Nexus during this current expedition?

[hexed badger]

not yet but i wouldnt get enough nanites from that

[loud siren]

You just fly into space and should be able to summon it.

[remote thunder]

ok so, when you're looking at the mini radar, you may want to nose up or down, because there might be moons on a plane above your current

[umbral iris]

how can i deactive to see other player bases. it kind of ruins the immersion when being underwater

also once i complete phase 2 to I stay on system or travel to next?

because a lot of phase 3 stuff can be done on the phase 2 system

[remote thunder]

need to warp out of the starter system first, but then yes, when in space, quick menu/summon it

[remote thunder]

you can complete milestones from phase 3 already, you don't have to complete every milestone from phases behind in order to do so

[steep bridge]

Do tornadoes spawn in high places? Been waiting for one for ages on my mountain base

[remote thunder]

would have to basically 1) turn off multiplayer and/or 2) go completely offline, not just friends list offline

[brisk torrent]

This worked for me, thanks!

[hexed badger]

is anyone able to give me some nanites for one of the expedition challenges please

[sharp turtle]

Just do the other objectives

some of them give u nanites

[remote thunder]

i got caught by one on a mountain, saw several on mountain cliffs. try flying around low and slow as you can, see if you can catch a glimpse of one, then land near it. could also try to switch to a different gas giant

[umbral iris]

thanks for response. i guess thats how it is then QwQ

[queen viper]

stupid question, how to find my base comp that it hiding somewhhere here ? 😄 😄 😄 😄

[hexed badger]

unfortunately not enough

[remote thunder]

you'll get something like 5k nanites from reach rendezvous milestones alone; you get several upgrade modules as milestone rewards, that you could easily sell for nanites. you could find all fauna on a planet, to get the extra nanite bonus reward; you could refine radiant shards and inverted mirrors for example:

[queen viper]

nevermind i found it

[sharp turtle]

Talk to Helios and Ares at the anomaly

[hexed badger]

i did i only got like 1k from them.

[hexed badger]

i started a new save so i want to save my modules for transfer

[remote thunder]

if you started a new save, you can't transfer them to any other save on your own

[fading ibex]

Buy Arms packages in pirate systems, unpack, sell all upgrade modules, rinse and repeat

[turbid moon]

i found it

[hexed badger]

i started the expedition from the new save, so will i be able to transfer them?

[hexed badger]

i forgot how to find pirate systems. how do i do that?

[fading ibex]

In the space map, warp to systems with a pirate skull symbol. You may need to install an economy scanner

[remote thunder]

only if, after you converted this exp save to normal, you transferred them to another player on normal mode, to then rejoin them with your main save, so that they could transfer them back. note that stored tech/modules can't be transferred to another player

i see... well that sucks lol. i thought i could transfer the modules back to be brought over after the exped is finished

[remote thunder]

no big deal

plenty of module sources in other game modes

[fading ibex]

Only if you started the expedition at the Nexus. You could however transfer them to a friend and get them transferred back to your new save

But yes. Basically not worth the hassle

[open dagger]

There are also several planets along the expedition route that you can farm runaway mold on - use scanner and a exocraft they give you and away you go - on the road to nanite wealth

[hexed badger]

thanks guys

[open dagger]

You may also run across player bases that say mold farm or nanites in the name

[fading ibex]

I find these tedious tbh, arms packages are the easiest way imho

I need help finding a sunken freighter for the expedition

Question with the pillar of titan reward, if I claim it in the expedition will I still get it in the regular save?

[unique pecan]

Hey everyone, I finished the expedition and got the new ship. How do I use it on my main save? I was able to copy the multitool in the mercury NPC, but the ship isnt there, only the base C rank ship I got from the expedition start

[queen viper]

Go to Quicksilver Terminal and go "expedition awards"

[unique pecan]

Oh nevermind I found the option to redeem rewards

Yeah, ty!

[remote thunder]

see pinned post:

yes

That's a relief

[remote thunder]

equip ship and MT you want to copy back to primary, if any (wraith/pillar of titan are unlocked account wide, don't need to copy them in), sell stuff for units/nanites since currencies merge

[hollow python]

Is it easier to find on ipto

[simple bear]

it'll be guaranteed there, pretty much

[turbid moon]

thx

[zenith narwhal]

Anyone know the exact requirements for "No Place Like Home", it just says expand your base, do I need to get all the NPCs and stuff or just build a box to live in?

[quartz epoch]

Select the mission, it gives you guidance

[remote thunder]

look at the tooltip lower right @zenith narwhal

you need to build a specific set of parts

[cobalt wren]

Can you do the expedition from a main save?? I'm so new to doing them I don't kkow much or how if you can

[remote thunder]

yes, you can indeed. goto anomaly, and interact with the expedition terminus terminal, leftof quicksilver shop.

then type !faq-expedition in #bot-spam and see starting/finishing an expedition sublinks if you still need more clarification than what the game gave you

[tepid grove]

Quartzite is 1:4
Activated Quartzite im unsure

[zenith fossil]

Hi folks... I've got a strange ole' bug on this expo:

I logged in at some point... yesterday? the day before? And it had autocompleted the milestones for reaching Rdv 4 and 5... but I had not been there (at least not to 5), and had not taken the photos. I managed to track down the correct system/planet for Rdv 5, found the rendezvous point, tried to take a picture and... nothing happens.

I've tried taking a picture there, other places, with multi on, with multi off, after switching back to main save, after leaving planet and returning, and... nothing.

One extra weird bit is that when I'm on the planet, my quest marker tells me to "Return to the planet %PLANET% to proceed."

anyone else run into this?

[arctic ice]

I feel like these expeditions are lasting shorter and shorter

[keen musk]

try throwing a pellet from the quick menu rather than feeding individual animals, works best in a cluster of animals together

[arctic ice]

I got 2 days left, man i judt started

[queen flare]

Ty

[simple bear]

the wraith ship, i need to have it as my primary ship when i complete the expeidition?

and i can scrap the other for units?

[left moat]

What planet has a creature that gives 90k credits?

[quartz epoch]

I'm a little stuck, need to reach 1001 depth but lost the adtow

[quartz epoch]

Visor upgrades

[proud night]

OK, how do you make Lubrication in the expedition?

[woven shadow]

I think I will name the new ship Handsome Squidward

[proud night]

I got the mats.

[remote thunder]

not necessarily; you don't need to copy the wraith, as it is an account wide unlock, claimable from qs shop once per save, in any save - your expedition character is a different save, practically

[stoic blade]

whats the quickest way to get gamma roots?

[remote thunder]

click on a free cargo slot - if you claimed all milestones so far you should already have it unlocked, if not goto anomaly and unlock it yourself from the synthesis lab

[simple bear]

scrap the ship i started with for the units?

[remote thunder]

install hazmat gauntlet, goto rdv1, find the relevant planet, farm gamma weed

[remote thunder]

sure if you want to

[shut tundra]

I’m trying to break down my nautilon launcher how do I do it?

[red zealot]

finished exp. 17…already kinda wishing i could experience it blind again

[remote thunder]

open build menu, edit placed parts, aim at part, delete

[quartz epoch]

z -> c -> x on keyboard

[arctic ice]

Chat is it do-able to finish the expedition in two days

Take in account i have school

[wintry herald]

oh wow we still have over a month

[red zealot]

i did. but tbf i played for several hours yesterday

[stoic blade]

i cant find the 5th and last moon

like i keep going to the planets i already discovered

its so hard to keep track of which ones you checked already with the giant in the way

[arctic ice]

What

[zenith fossil]

if you make a note of the names, that should at least keep you from heading back?

[stoic blade]

yeah ik im not landing on them every time

im jsut looking for the one that says not discovered when scanned

wait it tells me i discovered all of them

why didnt i complete the quest then

[zenith fossil]

did you land on all of them?

[quartz epoch]

Does the wraith starship come with the same upgrades when you claim it in the normal save?

[remote thunder]

try landing on the gas giant one more time and exiting ship

[stoic blade]

yeah

[quartz epoch]

Wait, is there even any point exchanging in the expedition?

I'd rather not spend nanites

Can I decline and then get it in my normal save

[quaint urchin]

You can, but remember you can only claim it once per save from the Quicksilver vendor.

[quartz epoch]

I'm guessing it really doesn't matter what I leave in the expedition

[quaint urchin]

Of course it also costs Nanites to copy it back to your primary save from the Terminal too. It will probably be like 2800 Nanites to copy it back too.

[quartz epoch]

So theoretically you could get 2 doing it that way I guess?

[quaint urchin]

If you copy it back, store the tech, and scrap it you can copy it again from the terminal. I don't think it will let you copy it twice and keep both copies, but I'm unsure about that.

[quartz epoch]

I mean like copy it from the terminal and then claim it from the rewards

[quaint urchin]

Oh, I just realized that's what you meant.

[quartz epoch]

I'm assuming you don't have to copy it to get it in the main save

[quaint urchin]

I am unsure if you can claim it from the Quicksilver vendor if you already have one you brought back.

[quartz epoch]

Idk why you would bring it back if you can just claim it for free then

[quaint urchin]

Oh wait, I read somewhere that you can put it in storage on your Freighter and then claim another copy.

[quartz epoch]

I see I see

[quaint urchin]

I haven't finished this Expedition yet, but the Starborn Runner always costs me 1400 Nanites to claim when I claim it on my new saves.

From the Quicksilver vendor that is...

[quartz epoch]

Ahh ok

Actually, do you get the nanites you earned from the expedition?

[quaint urchin]

All currencies transfer back to the primary save you started the Expedition from.

[quartz epoch]

Good good

[quaint urchin]

Plus what you get for milestones at the end (when it is completing everything).

Also, if you scan All Fauna on planets and claim the bonus Nanites in your primary save, you can claim those Nanites again from the Discoveries Tab within the Expedition save too.

[quartz epoch]

I guess it could be worth claiming the ship in the expedition for the spare upgrades?

[quaint urchin]

That's a very good point!

[quartz epoch]

Does copying the ship only copy upgrades?

[turbid moon]

is that nurgals garden?

[quartz epoch]

Or inventory too?

[quaint urchin]

Just tech section, no inventory.

[quartz epoch]

👍

[quaint urchin]

Check this screen shot. It was from about 5 minutes after starting an Expedition from my primary save. (look at those Nanites)

[quartz epoch]

Oooh nice

[remote thunder]

"nurgals garden"? a player base i assume? nah, was just some random patch i found

[quartz epoch]

I suck at finding all fauna though xD

[quaint urchin]

Underground Rare... Grah!!!

[turbid moon]

its a warhammer thing

you would need to know warhammer to get the joke

[remote thunder]

sorry

[turbid moon]

its the place where all the worst diseases in the universe are made and the planet made me think of it

[graceful hawk]

Hoping i didn't screw up here... just completed the expedition and unlocked wraith but switched to the base ship to return to anomoly and turn it in. Can I still get the wraith somehow or is it gone now?

Ah nvm forgot it goes to quicksilver dude

[remote thunder]

started from creative, yes

[full orchid]

Hey, is the sea glass mission bugged?

[timber halo]

Yes. Once you've unlocked the ship, it's a permanent claimable. Once per save only, though. But it'll be on all your saves.

[remote thunder]

need to collect 5

[full orchid]

Laser deals no dmg to it

[low vine]

how do you join an expedition from a normal save

[timber halo]

Don't just laser it! PIck it up with your bare hands, like a plant. Be gentle. Like a newborn babe.

[remote thunder]

you loot it with your hands

[timber halo]

There's a terminal on the Space Anomaly, near the Quicksilver Companion.

[full orchid]

Ohh, ty

Question, when returning from an expedition launched within / from an existing save, is the "wallet" i.e. the ££ / Nanites / Quicksilver shown in the "Tab" menu transferred along with the liquidated assets, or just the assets?

[remote thunder]

is the "wallet" i.e. the ££ / Nanites / Quicksilver shown in the "Tab" menu transferred along with the liquidated assets,
yes

[misty sapphire]

Screenshots I took during the expedition.

Is there an easy way to find a tornado?

[viral sky]

how do i do the legacy

how do i rename and upload

[stoic blade]

why cant i install this anywhere?

[remote thunder]

because that's an exocraft upgrade module

[stoic blade]

o

[regal thistle]

Same issue. My friends are making me nervous saying to start it over cause it's possible to lose my main save over this bug in the exp. Really wish there were some answers 😔

[remote thunder]

i don't think it's at all possible to lose your main save over this

this is just a simple bug

[regal thistle]

Appreciate the reassurance. They're paranoid....lost saves in the past due to small things like this. Games come a long way since then, but nothings impossible.
Out of curiosity, have they ever patched bugs like this in the past rendering it possible to complete an expedition from the current save point? Or am I better off restarting if I want to finish it?

[wheat terrace]

Which planet in rendezvous 3 is 1001u+ deep?

[lyric rampart]

How am i supposed to rename a discovery when every warp its discovered -_-

[jagged charm]

the rdv planet itself should be an ocean planet

took me a bit but it has 1000u+ spots

[wraith junco]

Rdv2

[jagged charm]

or 2

[thick umbra]

If you want to do it again... play solo.. MP disabled ... And if possible in experimental branch

[regal thistle]

Thank you for the advice 🫡

[loud siren]

Look for way points/buildings on planets and rename the save point there.

[remote thunder]

@lyric rampart ^

[lyric rampart]

Give it a try thanks

[jagged charm]

btw do we need to use fish hook to get the fish or does autofarm also count

[remote thunder]

autotraps won't work afaik

hey if you're ever at the third rendezvous point planet come check out my base

it is a monument to my hatred for basebuilding

I ALSO FUCKING BROKE MY CAPS KEY FOR THIS SO I HOPE YOU FUCKING VISIT GOD DAMNIT

[cobalt wren]

where do i get ferrite dust?

[remote thunder]

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

[cobalt wren]

thank you 🙂

[fallen forum]

Anyone else having an issue where when they start the expidition their character reverts back to basic look

and backpack is also base stat?

[remote thunder]

• started from existing save, it should keep your primary save char's appearance
• gear starts from scratch, always has though

[fallen forum]

My char used Xenophage cosmetics. if that matters

ah i had forgotten

[remote thunder]

yeah i had runs that it kept my appearance, others not, and both started from existing. some kind of bug

[fallen forum]

Rip

okay

[agile glacier]

Is being unable to find a sunken freighter the bug fixed in 5.57?

Ive scanned several times and nothing appears

[remote thunder]

some players reported they had to completely restart the game one last time after getting 5.57 and loading a save on it

if that still wont work, just skip the milestone, complete it in rendezvous 5 planet for example

[round cairn]

Expedition is completed! This ship looks so cool tho i feel like getting modules for is not going to be easy

This save turned out to be so good i might even continue playing on it as my main save!

[left moat]

How do we get electric to the underwater bases?

[remote thunder]

build solar ps+batteries, use a power hotspot

any of the regular ways work just fine

[civic silo]

ummm no, you need 1000u

i finished anyways

[stoic blade]

how do i deconstruct the nautilon platform?

[left moat]

Wait. Solar under water? And how do I get a land pad as well? Is there a new type of landing pad for water worlds?

[remote thunder]

delete it as you were deleting a base part

[remote thunder]

no new landing pad

[stoic blade]

i do find a spot for the 1001 deep quest

[wise meteor]

You can pretty much ignore water, like weather in terms of gameplay, until you drown of course 😉

[stoic blade]

i only got to 500u deep

i cant find a spot that goes beyond that

[remote thunder]

goto space - aim at base computer icons from other players on that planet - do you see any that says "deep spot", "1000u deep", "crush zone"

[umbral iris]

just visiting places and doing photos is so much fun lol

[stoic blade]

i cant find the last aquatic creature im going crazy

[remote thunder]

remember that there's multiple planets with water in the various rendezvous systems

[stoic blade]

ill try going to the next system

[heavy merlin]

Can’t do the chronicle bc rendezvous milestones autocompleted

Any advice?

[remote thunder]

to my knowledge, if you can't reload a restore point to before they autocompleted, not even getting to the right planets on your own will complete them now. i suggest holding tight for the next patch, hopefully people have been bug reporting, i have faith this will be fixed next patch.

[agile spear]

Is yurrh H27 a gas giant?

[remote thunder]

no idea, but these are

[remote thunder]

does it say Gas Giant on it?

then it is

[agile spear]

K ty so it's not wonder why my expodition route took me here

[devout echo]

is it possible to pickup or delete the new naultilon platform?

[remote thunder]

delete, yes

[devout echo]

i can;t seem to delete in the build menu when I hover the reticle over it ... it doesn;t turn blue like it;s selected

[cinder yoke]

My atlantid hyperdrive got busted during a fight and now I need indium to repair it D;

I was right before the last rendevous toooooo aughh

[muted brook]

Hey guys how do i get a terrain manipulator on the expedition?

I lost mine

[devout echo]

had to save and exit to delete it

[remote thunder]

this is probably that bug - save, close game completely, launch again and load save

yeah

[devout echo]

womp womp waaa

theres a perfectly good freighter right here someone saved!

but no dice

[remote thunder]

if you haven't exited ship yet after it happened, you could consider reloading the restore point, but be ware of progress you might be losing doing so, if the restore point is too far back before you got in the fight. that said, probably the easiest way to do this now is to just goto a teleporter, and double check if you have teleporter access to any blue star system. let us know if you don't know how to do that from a teleporter.

[queen flare]

How the fuck am I supposed to upload a discovery if everything’s already been uploaded

[remote thunder]

lost how? exchanged starter tool for one that didn't have it installed?

[muted brook]

Yes

[remote thunder]

chill, see this post #nms-expedition message

[devout echo]

go through a black hole, pick a direction and travel several thousand LY in one direction until you find an unclaimed system.

it doesn;t take as long as it sounds.

[remote thunder]

did you start from existing save, or new save?

[muted brook]

Existing

[queen flare]

I love you

[remote thunder]

go copy multitool from existing save at anomaly expedition terminus

Oh crap yea i didnt think of that im hight as shi lol

running aground in the nautilon is very undignified.

i just renamed a random creature i had discovered on a totally different planet before even starting the expedition lmao

Any fix for the can't take a photo thing yet?? For the expedition

lol this works too

no, i'd say we're going to have to wait till tomorrow/tuesday

[thin jay]

Dammmmm

[pure niche]

can someone give me 1 or 2 system names with an aquatic planet that has a depth of at least 1k m? I've spent about 2 hours searching system to system and found 1 but it maxes out at 700m - I've reached high frustration level

[remote thunder]

literally, rendezvous 2 system, the rendezvous 2 planet you were in.

[pure niche]

thank you, I'm off to look - I wasn't looking for aquatic planets till i got out and about from there

[near silo]

Does it have sea glass

[signal bear]

Yup, adtow does

[near silo]

Ok cool cause I’ve been stuck on those two for a while now

[stoic blade]

i cant find water in the gas giant

like ive been flying for 10 minutes now

Theres a few bases on the gas giants that mark the water caves

[granite rain]

Go like a 1000ly out, preferably away from rez 1

[lyric rampart]

🤣 already hate it

[wintry herald]

hopefully therell be a random system within at least 3 jumps distance that nobody has been to

but i doubt it

[steep bridge]

Hey guys Luthamp IV in the 4th rdv system has some pretty interesting aerial fauna

Oh my goodness they are even shooting milk all over the place

For the reach clean depth quest do I just have to keep looking for oceans deep enough?

should be done in rdv2 planet, but yes

[coral steppe]

What planet is that?

[remote thunder]

check this post #nms-expedition message

[coral steppe]

also what about the sunken freighter

I don’t see a rdv2 planet?

Oh wait I’m trippin

[low jackal]

iirc you need to go to another planet for sunken freighter

as written in pinned tips

[remote thunder]

yeah, but 1) they needed a spot for crush zone (1000+ depth), and after 5.57, that planet should actually work for fathoms below too, but for some reason, either some aren't doing it right, or fix isnt working for all

[coral steppe]

ahh really?

@coral steppe if after 5.57 you still can't get nautilon high powered sonar/quick menu/scan/sunken freighter to pop a marker in Rendezvous 2 planet, simply do fathoms below milestone in a diff system

I’m sitting on it right now

and there is no nation

you're supposed to have the right milestone selected, and be on foot, next to a nutrient processor built

[gentle ibex]

Oh i didnt know i had to make the processor

Thanks

[coral steppe]

Didn’t detect anything so now what?

[remote thunder]

to be sure you did nautilon quick menu/scan/scan for sunken freighter, yes?

[coral steppe]

Crashed freighters yes

[remote thunder]

take your ship, go back out to space, pulse around the planet to the other side, land again, resummon nautilon using quick menu/summon/exocrafts, no need to rebuild floating platform, try again

[coral steppe]

Keep doing it until I get one I’m guessing?

[remote thunder]

no, do it just once more. if you don't get anything still, i'd please ask for you to try to test something for me.

[little robin]

can i ask what the system of rendevouz 2 is called?

Yeah I’ll test it

bc I’ve had no luck lol

Oo good question

Is it subnautica vibes

[remote thunder]

what i wanted you to do was to save, close game completely, then boot up again, and then test 1 last time

[remote thunder]

there's spots deep enough in Adtow, rendezvous 2 planet

[woven token]

Says the deepest ocean one guy found was 111 units

Sounds deep

[spark socket]

oh man

Give me strength

[woven token]

U got this

[coral steppe]

👍🏽

Test is at the same spot where I closed the game?

[coral steppe]

Well it worked when I did this

Ty

[remote thunder]

that was pre worlds part 2 update - after that update, oceans in waterworlds can get to 1300-1400u deep

[vocal panther]

I am kind of stuck on where to find Storm Crystals.

[remote thunder]

stuck where

[stoic blade]

i only need the quest for the creature that gives 90k units

how tf do i do that

[vocal panther]

Just finding them.. at all.

[remote thunder]

install a s-class scanner or two, with +% fauna unit rewards stat type on them, scan a creature

[remote thunder]

but where

what planet

what system

there's storm crystals in the starter planet, and also in rendezvous 3 planet

[stoic blade]

is this good

[vocal panther]

Hmm.. where was the starter planet?

[remote thunder]

save first, then install it

[remote thunder]

have you gone to phase 3/rendezvous 3 yet?

forget the starter planet.

if you're going forward, once you complete reach rendezvous 3 milestone, you'll be on planet that's also a planet that has storm crystals

iow, you don't have to backtrack

@vocal panther in short, you don't have to complete bottled lightning milestone before moving on to phase 3 milestones

[stoic blade]

fauna has +7%

actually

6

[remote thunder]

that'll do i think

[stoic blade]

installed 3 of them

6% 7% and 9%

[remote thunder]

more than enough 😄

[little robin]

ughhhhh looking for a deep enough spot

look for a base that says deep or something

i did that way

i was using an s class sentinel ship before now

ill probably switch to this one

[agile glacier]

sentinel ships are pretty, thinking of switching to them since they come in a nice shade of blue/black

[shut ridge]

Can someone tag along who has everything needed for the expedition so I can complete it faster

[vocal panther]

I know, but just trying to get that one done so can get the haz-mat gloves.. to continue other things. Been wandering the gas giant starter planet and not find any storm crystals

[wintry herald]

time to grind all the way up to the anomaly part on my new save and get a bunch of free shit

[little robin]

lol someone is building a staircase all the way too 1000 u below sea

[wintry herald]

wish them good luck

[little robin]

epic pfp

[remote thunder]

use your visor https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/848151426869362728/1120101476015017984/storm_crystal_visor.png

[little robin]

they're only harvestable during storms

[whole niche]

Is there a quicker way to find water on a planets surface aside from just flying around in the atmosphere? That and using the visor for armored clams or other underwater stuff. I know this planet has water but I can't find a large body of it 😂

[vocal panther]

I know.. just.. never seem to be showing up.. just wondering if I am missing something.

[remote thunder]

they're harvstable at all times in gas giants

literally

fly around

low and slow

[remote thunder]

i got mine on the starter planet, so i know they exist there, for sure

me and a whole lot of others

[vocal panther]

Alright, I will give that a try. If it works, thanks in advance

[remote thunder]

but like

rdv3 is also a gas giant

all gas giants i've been to so far, and not just in expedition, they all had storm crystals

[remote thunder]

is it a normal planet? or a gas giant

[agile glacier]

are expeditions more story focused or busywork?

idk ive heard prior exps having loreee but this one was just...doing stuff

[remote thunder]

yes, depends on the expedition

[vocal panther]

You were totally right. I want back to the starter planet... flew around slowly.. ended up finding one after all. Thanks for the tip. I knew I was missing something, some where...

[little robin]

ooooh

[little robin]

yeah nah this one was just only doing stuff

[agile glacier]

was at least interesting

i liked being helpless for the first time in several hundred hours

[remote thunder]

don't know, i was just at rdv3 planet and found one within less than a minute

[vocal panther]

I was just wierdly unlucky

[little robin]

do bases i create during exp carry over back to my normal save?

[remote thunder]

but i've been hearing reports of it not doing so

[mild plaza]

real, it took me like almost 10 hours to get

[coral steppe]

How did y’all get 90k units for discovering a creature? I’m getting 1k on like everything with a S+ module

[ashen shore]

With the new expedition do you have to craft and drink a potion every 5 minutes or is the new expedition not like that?

[remote thunder]

s-class module must have +% fauna unit reward stat type on roll

[remote thunder]

no anomaly suppressor mechanic on exp17

[ashen shore]

Thank you, that mechanic really irritated me and didn’t even bother with the adrift expedition because of that. Glad it’s not in this one

[little robin]

the glooper obtained

:D

[remote thunder]

exp16 anomaly suppressor was quite easy to deal with after we could leave planets on demand with ship, since going to space fully recharged it

[coral steppe]

I got that

[remote thunder]

1k units per fauna scan isn't correspondent to a scan done with a +% fauna unit rewards module

pretty confident.

[obsidian spire]

I'm having the same problem, didn't realize I couldn't complete the Chronicle milestones until I'd put 15 hours into the expedition. I don't want to restart just to have the same thing happen again either.

[remote thunder]

See link above. Gunter had a micro hiccup

[obsidian spire]

Ahh, I see it now. I'll do that.

[remote thunder]

to show you the difference between a scan with no upgrade modules on:

and then with a single, unsupercharged scanner module, with +% fauna unit reward stat type on it

[obsidian spire]

I've submitted a detailed bug report through the Zendesk link, hopefully Hello Games can remedy the situation.

[remote thunder]

and with a supercharged scanner module, had to find a higher rarity creature, but still made it with just 1 module, and would have most likely made it without supercharging it too

and yeah, there it is, +90k units scan, 1 s-class module, not supercharged

[wintry void]

In this one you just have to get used to never ending tornado storms

[pure fern]

I stg the tornadoes "see" you and aggro towards you. I built a base on a gas giant and the amount of times I saw a tornado go straight towards me only to turn around right as I got inside was too many to be coincidental.

They almost act like sentinels it feels

[remote thunder]

they're meant to

even tornadoes in other biomes do so

all extreme weather events are meant to hit the player

from electrical disturbances to tornadoes to meteor showers, to toxic anomalies, etc

i absolutely love it

[pure fern]

Ah, so the game actually is going out of its way to throw me across the universe and kill me every time I go outside to add a single decoration. I thought I was insane.

[remote thunder]

hehe

creating some difficulty at least right

[pure fern]

No, I have so many upgrades it does nothing but add tedious walking back to where I was

Tedium is not difficulty, it's a reason to quit the game

[remote thunder]

i see

(there were players who literally died because of getting spit out by a tornado)

but hey

yeah, stacked up to the teeth, theres not much that can kill you.

[pure fern]

To clarify, I already did the expedition and I have almost 200 hrs. I like this game, but the weather has no business being a fully conscious antagonist.

I am much more happy being thrown about by an indifferent wind system than one that was designed to annoy me every chance it sees

[remote thunder]

i do understand. gladly! they're not on every planet, and even on the ones they do spawn at, they're not always always trying to get you, but most often yeah. the other weather phenomena got a bit more dangerous too, at least i can't hang around for long in the middle of a toxic anomaly for some reason 😄

[agile spear]

There a planet for these fossils?

[remote thunder]

several. i saw a moon in the starter system, and rendezvous 5 planet also has bones

[ashen shore]

That sounds fun

[agile spear]

Am I looking for ancient bones on the list on the planet?

[light ingot]

Anyone know where to find the sunken freighter?

[slender flicker]

Has anyone else had trouble finding the underwater crashed freighter in phase 2?

[light ingot]

Lmao

[slender flicker]

haha

[remote thunder]

yep, e.g.

[slender flicker]

I can't find it anywhere, cruised the ocean floor in my nautilon for ages, but nothing, also nothing from starship plus navigational maps don't work.

[remote thunder]

ok so 1) are you using nautilon's quick menu/scan/crashed freighters

[slender flicker]

yup

[remote thunder]

save, close game completely, try again

[open dagger]

On the upside - the minute you get into the minotar all the weather demons quit trying to chase you - they know...

[slender flicker]

x, scan, recharge, repeat, tried that for like 10 mins

[light ingot]

Is Adtow the best planet to find it?

[remote thunder]

but to note, you do have high powered sonar tech installed, and you are scanning directly for sunken freighter yes?

[remote thunder]

wait.

[slender flicker]

yes correct

[remote thunder]

i'm doing this because after 5.57, which supposedly fixed it for people trying to find sunken freighters in Adtow, players reported having to fully restart the game once more, before it finally worked.

[remote thunder]

please save, close game completely, try again

like literally, quit to desktop, launch again, load save again, quick menu/scan/sunken freighters.

[coral steppe]

Everyone gets the same color of the wraith ship?

[remote thunder]

yes

@light ingot are you seeing what i'm asking of @slender flicker ? can you try the same please?

[light ingot]

Yeah I’ll try that as well

[slender flicker]

Trying that now, good to know it's a known issue and not just me

[light ingot]

Not getting any nearby freighters

[slender flicker]

ok that worked for me. Thank you for the help 🙂

[light ingot]

Sweet!

[slender flicker]

It's 51mins away by Nautilon, but it exsists! Think I might take starship there lol.

[devout echo]

mark it with the nautilon first then fly there ... this is the way

[slender flicker]

Yup!

[devout echo]

and don;t forget to delete the nautilon platform first to save resources

[wintry perch]

Hello, 👋 just started the new expedition with my friend. Looking forward to getting into it. We’re struggling to find ferrite, does anyone know where it could be? We need it for ship repairs of course 😅🖖

[remote thunder]

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

remember to check the pins, useful info here

what i just copied to you was there:

[wintry perch]

Thank you 🙏. Sounds like new stuff added in nice. I’ll look for it

[sly sedge]

Anyone else falling through the floor on derelict freighters in this expedition?

this normally happens to players who didn't spawn the derelict freighter mission themselves

That makes sense. The freighter was just there and I boarded it.

[agile glacier]

ngl gas giants became way cooler when i was in the expedition and not functionally invincible like in my main save

wish they didnt give us those protection modules and forced us to run for our lives to our ship lol

[devout echo]

running for your life is a unique experience when swirling around in the air with giant boulders and being simultaneously struck by lightning.

[agile glacier]

i missed that hostile early game feeling of being on an alien world lol

now with maxed tech the entire universe is simply a deer in my headlights

[wintry herald]

simply dont get immersed in video games

personally i really like having my 1000 rpm pulse spitter

its funny as fuck

[velvet kite]

Enjoying this new expedition so far, but I've never seen so many save beacons all over the place! Is it just me, or does it seem like they increased the maximum number of save beacons that can be placed/shown per planet?

[sand jackal]

any way to play old expeditions?

[north pumice]

Is it normal to get Anomaly detectors in asteroids?

[low jackal]

its like the only way to get them

before guild starts gifting them anyway

[north pumice]

?

ok

[open dagger]

Rarely

By Guild they mean the Explorers Guild - you will find on some space stations along with the Mercs and Merchants. Once you are leveled enough they give them free

[bronze pecan]

Anybody lost their unclaimed expedition irems or got reseted??...

[onyx lodge]

?

[bronze pecan]

Items gor reswt like ive never.did them before

Lost two unclaimed ships too.... 😡

[onyx lodge]

when did this happen?

[bronze pecan]

Yesterday

[onyx lodge]

try relaunching the game?

[bronze pecan]

My starborn runner that i have not claimed its gone and other items aswell

I did and nothing, happen right after my save got accepted for cross save

[onyx lodge]

oof, try asking bk, i dont know this shit

[bronze pecan]

Im on ps5

[tame frigate]

So umm I went down on an aquatic planet to the bottom and it was only 750ish u deep but for expedition I need to go 1001u deep. I tried terrain manipulator but after like 150 or 200u of digging the terrain manipulator won't dig any more the ground seems impossible to manipulate yet this planet apparently is meant to have deeper :S but idk where I can get deep enough or how.

[open dagger]

Change location, try again

[onyx lodge]

stolen from bk🤫

[open dagger]

Ahh.. very nice - there are coordinates in that pic

[tame frigate]

So the planets have a mesh you can't go deeper than but it's bumpy like the surface so there's some deeper valleys in the mesh?

[open dagger]

There is bedrock on every planet - just like Minecraft 😉

[onyx lodge]

exactly

[tame frigate]

Now if only I could get to coordinates easily haha I always spend like an hour trying because I go the wrong way lol. I turn one way and one number goes up like it should but then the other number goes the wrong way over and over again xD

[open dagger]

change your view to first person and use the data on the display to better navigatae to coordinates - much easier and instant feedback

[onyx lodge]

i was luckily very close

[tame frigate]

oh I have it like that I just can't tell what way would make the numbers both go the right way haha

Like i'm at +24.69, -178.09 and need to go to +4.44, -69.93 somehow using North, South, East and West on a compass without knowing what of those compass directions would send me the right way.

[copper ravine]

How the heck did my settlement go 2 billion dollars in debt. This better be a bug.

[wintry herald]

theres some bases and comms stations at ~1000u deep

you just gotta get lucky though it seems

[onyx lodge]

just move around in a square to orient yourself

[tame frigate]

oh you can build bases like that? 😮 now that you mention that some are even named with thier depth haha

[wintry herald]

also when you open your analysis visor it shows you your coordinates on the right

[arctic ice]

Oh i misread it and thought we had 2 days
Sucks to be on Switch rn

Imagine being on Switch and not making it HAHA

[tame frigate]

What do you mean? They've had ages since they are on expedition 16 still and we are on 17

[arctic ice]

Brain is not brsining

[tame frigate]

My apolocheese

[tame frigate]

np 😄

So is there any way back to the gas giant at the start of expedition? I'm at the portal on the anomaly in the system for rendezvous 5 now but I can only see rendezvous systems listed to go back to and the planet we first spawned on isn't a rendezvous one 😦

I'm trying to find a gas giant to fish on lol

[cosmic oxide]

I have finished the expedition and now i can‘t find my base anymore. Do you know something about it? In every other expedition i also builded a base and it was still there after finishing.

[fathom gyro]

@cosmic oxide Yeah it depends on what planet you were on sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't like the bases for me in the last Expedition 16 it worked on a hexagonal planet but on this Expedition 17 it didn't work on the gas giant I know that's not exactly the answer you're looking for but

[wraith elk]

Ah alr cool beans

Ty

[dusty elm]

Is Expedition 17 Titan a lot more difficult then ones we've been doing?

[devout echo]

the start is a little more hectic because gas giants are pretty violent

and you got nothing basically

so you have to be pretty resourcefull

[dusty elm]

Can we start expedition with prior save? I've been doing that lately, helps me make it thru.

[devout echo]

i;m finding that starting at the terminal on the last few missions is best.

for me anyways.

some people still like fresh saves ... but i;m not sure why.

the terminal is pretty convenient.

it;s right behind the nexus in the anomaly.

[low jackal]

if you use an existing save you can bring some items with you and retrieve them later at the anomaly

but otherwise you start with basically nothing, the same as a new save

[dusty elm]

I was for a while starting fresh and failed some expeditions, then decided to use prior saves, now I do well. Much easier😃

[dusty elm]

I wasn't sure we could use prior save with this expedition since it's with the new planets and I think there in purple systems. I've not completed quest to enter purple systems, but was told in this exp. you can enter without completing quest.

[graceful holly]

Here's what the expedition rewards vendor looks like in the Abandoned Universe mode

[low jackal]

using existing save just mean you can bring some item with you,
after you finished the expedition you still go back to normal mode

expedition mode is seperate from normal

[dusty elm]

Oh wow, so different

[dusty elm]

At least I get to see the new planets 😃 I'll finish quest on normal mode soon.

[cunning sandal]

Do anybody know how to do the The winds of change because I've walked around on a gas giant for about an hour there is no cyclones I've tried to find one 😂

[devout echo]

Seems like there were plenty on the starting planet

[cunning sandal]

I'm on the starting planet that's what's funny

[devout echo]

ah

[cunning sandal]

I have walked around this whole planet for about an hour nothing

When I'm playing normal mode they don't have a problem finding me. Now when I want to find one. They don't want to find me 😂

[thick umbra]

you need to find them .. just Look where the lightning is and move to this area ...

[cunning sandal]

That's the funny thing I've jumped right into the lightning and those areas and there's nothing I don't get pulled up in the air or nothing

I've jumped off the top of the mountains into the lightning and there's nothing

I was beginning to wonder if the game is bugged or something

[thick umbra]

In my case it did work ... it must be the lightning which move over the planet together with a tornado

[cunning sandal]

Well I appreciate your help I'm just I've done that nothing has happened

[thick umbra]

bad luck 🙂

[cunning sandal]

Yeah I know I've been walking around for an hour thinking the game was broken again 😂

[thick umbra]

maybe you have more luck with the gas giant at RDV5

[cunning sandal]

I'm not even there yet. But I do appreciate your help 🙏

This is ridiculous man I'm jumping right into the lightning and all these spots nothing

[thick umbra]

you dont need to do the missions in the order.. I always do all RDV first .. making sure to visit the space stations so I can get back to any of them

[cunning sandal]

I know 👍

I'm right at the top of a mountain where all the lightning is at 🤣

[ruby carbon]

Is there anyone, that could help me port to meeting point 4 and 5? They marked as visited, eventhough I wasnt there. Therefor, I can't track them to find them, but also can't port via space station

[astral fulcrum]

How can I make nanites for this? I'm 2000 short of the needed amount

[rough hatch]

I just wanna thank the person who built a base at Rendez-vous 3 for fishing. The base has a pontoon and a interior chamber for fishing, if you dont like the extreme temperatures. It is also named properly, so you can find it quickly! Thank you, you are the OG!

[round panther]

there are many ways to make nanite. i like to use severals, for diversity and more outcome 🙂
exptedition: i wish i d remember, but one of the planets at rendezvous 1 has tons of curious deposits (mine, then refine mold to nanite)
take every form of slime and refine that too

• ! check the milestones, some give you good amounts of nanite as reward and not difficult to do
• many milestones can be done in the startsystem (the one with the moons)

[stray dome]

my nanites are almost always from scanning all creatures on a planet, i just do it as i go along

Rdv 3 i think is at a location surrounded by eggs, you can refine them for 500 nanite per egg as well

just watch out fo the horrors

[round panther]

releasing high class fish, showing cronus food comes to mind too 🙂 seems i just collect miniamounts all over the place 😄

[astral fulcrum]

Found some curious deposits which gave me a lot of runaway mold. Now I need to rename a discovery, how do I find somewhere that other people haven't already discovered so I can rename it?

[thick umbra]

bad luck.. you can not end the expedition until that bug is patched

[thick umbra]

every outpost can be renamed

[ruby carbon]

but i should be able to port to someone, if he is there or has a base there, no?

[astral fulcrum]

Outpost?

[astral fulcrum]

What do you mean by outpost?

[thick umbra]

no.. even if you find the location.. you can not finish the photo mission
