Alright thankss
where do i sell these
i think u can sell it at Space Station at ship merchant on the upper floor
any upgrade module shop
Well, there's my second expedition done and done. First was aquarius. Certainly fun, picked up a few things to transfer over for next time. I do wish the storyline part was more visble like in Aquarius, but I know not everyone likes "RNG up the next messaage" as a mechanic
Back to the real world for a bit 😐
Hey all, I've finished the expedition but could anyone send me the glyphs for the second rendezvous point? I'd really like to go back.
Are in pins
Didn't you take the photo? The glyphs should be on it...
I had to use the built in screenshots on console which don't show the glyphs

hey guys, before I finished my expedition I switched to my primary save ship. now I'm back on my primary save and I don't see where to get the wraith. did I lose it because I summoned my other ship? I bought the wraith
Anomaly ..QS Merchant .. get your expedition reward
oh thank you! it's my first expedition, sorry 🙂
thats ok 🙂
can someone ping the pin for finding sea glass
what planet are you on?
im near rendevous 3
you'll have to warp back to rdv2
rdv2 planet is a waterworld, has seaglass
i forgot where it was
teleport to rdv3
you'll see Haporin, rdv2 system, in the galaxy map, nearby
warp to it
find the waterworld, Adtow
aim at the largest extension of water you can see on it from space
pulse to it
land on water, build floating chamber, delete floating chamber after getting nautilon on there, dive
thank you
does rare flying diurnal mean these just appear at night?
during the day
I don't seem to be able to inspect log of sunken freighter. I tried 2 locations and no interaction option comes up on that ball where I would expect to find the log. I also dug up the cargo pods. Am I missing something?
do you have multiplayer disabled? i'd suggest disabling it, and then waiting a few seconds and trying again. if it still doesn't work, save+return to main menu, load save again, then find a different sunken freighter if this one still won't let you
Wow I cant find any ferrite anymore
And this planet only has these tiny rocks
This first milestone is dogshit
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
Oh amazing, thank you! I never knew that and the recipe didnt tell me i could do it either!
Damn I never knew helium could do that I just ran around mining tiny Rocks for half an hour 😭
This planet is just so full of salt…
I didn't have multiplayer disabled. So I disabled it, restarted my game, but it still doesn't work--not even in a new crash site. Maybe a bug?
do you have the right milestone selected? i'd suggest trying it at a different planet/different system (rendezvous5 planet for example)
just like everyone looking for ferrite.
I believe so. 'Visit the site of sunken freighter'. I'll try another system I suppose. Hm. Thanks for the ideas.
Lithium turns into ferrite
So just nautilon down to lithium deposits and plenty of ferrite
not really helpful at the first milestone point.
refine crystallized helium into pure ferrite
everyone's trying to help, i love it - crystalized helium refines to ferrite dust directly though
so does every other biome mineral except gold - lithium included, but as was mentioned already, there's no waterworld in the starter system, and the starter planet is a gas giant indeed, and their biome mineral is crystalized helium
oh i thought i remembered it turning into pure ferrite oops
turns out making a cute little rest stop with free resources is a pita
i wonder why people dont ever use the in game chat
i would have expected this game to be a lot chattier
i am now among the many people who build these mineral extractor locations to give people free stuff
i could probably set up a farm too
Any tips for acquiring crystal sulphide?

Gunter your a legend (and whoever summoned him)
Guntie's awesome
Facts
any idea where i can find deep ocean to 1,001u im getting sick trying to find it only stop at over 600
Example coordinates of a spot deep enough in Adtow planet: +4.44, -69.93
@tender veldt
-#
to view info below, enable embeds
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.

mine doesnt'
no. this is basically me, giving you the latitude and longitude coordinates of a spot deep enough, and you just fly there. once near, land on water, and deep dive (i used nautilon)
and here Gunter posts how to travel to coordinates. the final note doesn't apply to Haporin system (where Adtow is) though, as it has no space station
how do you see coordinates while flying
bk is adtow a good planet for finding sunken freighter?
it will work, but you'll probably need to save on the planet+exit game complete+relaunch game again+reuse nautilon quick menu/scan/crashed freighters before it will actually apply the fix the devs made
switch to first person view
(quick menu/utilities/change camera while in ship)
ah
see the coordinates you're at? it tells you, right above current depth. see the screenshot i posted above? see how the coordinates are different? see my depth? that's also in Adtow. in other words, not all spots in Adtow are deep enough, but there are spots deep enough. i posted latitude+longitude coordinates of a spot on that planet that i know is deep enough, because i completed the milestone there. the reason why i posted them is in case you don't want to search for a spot yourself - you can just get yourself by ship to those coordinates.
thanks!
Speaking of planet Adtow, I have managed to document not one, but two ocean critters ... My name is immortalized, woot!
By the way, which patch fixes the LS drain while in the Nautilon? Mine is still ticking down at hyperpressure depths
Thank you bk201 now to find the wreck.. I know it won't be in this system
bk is adtow a good planet for finding sunken freighter?
it will work, but you'll probably need to save on the planet+exit game complete+relaunch game again+reuse nautilon quick menu/scan/crashed freighters before it will actually apply the fix the devs made
if you're on 5.57 and higher
5.53:
Fixed an issue that could cause life support to drain while in the Nautilon.
try to restart the game completely
Ah, I see -- I'm using Switch version 5.5.5 so it may be I've overlooked something - thanks
well that sounds like it would be equiv to 5.55, but 5.55 post doesn't have the Switch tag on it (yet? no idea if it was supposed to). 5.52 does
I probably messed it up somehow, I'll have a look soon - thanks for looking into it tho
did anyone else spawn in and immediately almost die due to a tornado?
(also i spawned 13 minutes travel time away from my ship, and was able to summon it despite launch thruster and pulse engine broken)
the tornado most likely spit you away 13min away
i was really close to my ship, like 600u
wasn't picked up by any tornado on start
that's the farthest i've ever been chucked
it took me hours to find my first one
i literally just sat there and once i heard the wind picking up - looked around
was fairly quick
idk there was some glitch where i had to turn off multiplayer for one to spawn 🤷♂️
either gravity is stronger here or my jetpack is really weak
that's correct, pretty sure
@plush crystal make sure to check the pins in this channel, and ask questions if you need expedition guidance / tips
getting out of a cave can be a task for "half a day"
Re: your comment:
I'm doing the Titans expedition but I'm having a dickens of a time finding a planet or moon with storms that produce storm crystals
I believe the pins could help @plush crystal
-# sorry for the block, won't happen again btw
definitely
What are deep ocean planets called?
any planet with lithium on resource list; rendezvous 2 planet is such a planet
Thank you. For some reason Rendezvou 2 doesn't show on my list for places I can warp to\
it's uncharted, it has no space station. don't worry, simply galaxy map, find it on the map - it's nearby, it's not far from neither rdv1 nor rdv3
finally reached 1,001 deep thats was intense searching ugh thanks BK
how can I tell if its Rendezvous 2?
system name is Haporin

Thanks!
right now im still on the mission to go to rendezvous 4 but i only need 1 more milestone for phase 5
complete rendezvous 4, the screenshot milestone, that's fine
warping right now
you don't need to complete all milestones from one phase before starting to do milestones from the next
that said, do rendezvous+screenshot milestones in order
alright in the system
woah do i get to keep this multi tool
the staff
ok… now im on the ancient bones milestone
it gets unlocked account wide - every other save aka character under the same account can claim it once
im heading towards rendezvous 5
do you remember which planet in rdv5 has ancient bones?
rdv5 planet itself
o ok
how do i make Ferrite Dust ×5 + Cobalt ×10 together for Ion Battery?? my refiner only had one slot ?
click on a free cargo slot to craft ion battery
ayyyy
congrats!
claim it to unlock it account wide
don't worry about your other saves
everything's fine
don't panic
ok good
the character you're playing now isn't the same character as your main save - so practically, they're two different saves
when you get to your main save, or your other saves, and "collect expedition rewards" from quicksilver shop, this is what you'll see - if you claimed all phase and final expedition rewards
sweet
back out of this, open your exosuit inventory, click on a free cargo slot, find ion battery on the crafting list, cursor over it, then craft
ohhh i see that works now thanks
Hello just finish the expedition with my friend and we came to the quick sliver store to find a universal community research progress bar at the top? Never seen that there before. Is it part of the expedition? Either way how do we take part if we need to? To earn any rewards from it?
Thank you 🙏
Community does nexus missions to fill up the bar. When it fills item in qs shop will unlock and will be available for purchase.
has the glitch where it completes all the rendevous quests making it impossible to find the right planet take photos been fixed yet
Aww I see separate from the expedition thank you 🙏
photos work in experimental apparently.
like it will undo the rendevous tho?
like i never actually went to them
it just said they were complete
no I think it just lets you complete the photo milestones.
i finally finished the expedition 17 so i go claim it at analoy and then go back to my main acc ???
@remote thunder
You go to the Expedition terminal and then hit end Expedition
If it was a fresh character and you claimed the stuff you can just go to another character and claim the items at Quincy in the anamoly
perfect thanks
Completed! I'm not crazy about the living ships, but I'm keeping this one since it's a trophy item
Why did you censor the ferrite dust lmao
how do you do the legacy milestone? i cant rename anything
“Don’t want Korvax in this system to know how much Pure Ferrite I’ve got in my wallet”
You can only rename things you haven’t uploaded yet
but i dont know how to upload them
i can report the discovery
If you haven’t clicked the arrow beside them in your Discoveries tab, you should be able to just click on a pencil icon beside the name in the center display
That but not greyed out
i figured it out kinda, thanks for your help
Respecting the Ferrite dusts privacy
But leaving the refiner fuel tank’s business on display for the whole galaxy to see? Smh
Omg you're so right!
Also
I'm pretty sure he has 9999 Ferrite so 4545 Pure cooking up (I think if math is correct)
Or...
4999?
That assumes it's not permadeath stacks
Hiding the save editor shame instead of splitting the stack 
Yeah but look how far out the 9 is
(Not me with an accidental 10 crystal heads in my storage)
Or he just did big boxes to blur
REPORTED!!!!!!!
question, should i remove the s class boosters off of the wraith and take them with me?
Oh I see what you mean with the 9. Yup def not permadeath
When you leave the expedition, you can collect an identical Wraith in the real world
As a reward
Feel free to leave it all behind and use those 8 slots for exosuit stuff or bonus damage upgrades from the weapons if you want em
yah, but couldnt i put the transferred nodes onto the new one to have more boosters?
You could. I don’t remember what it comes with bc work atm but if there’s like “bonus damage to the eye beam and +hyperdrive range you can take them.
They are living ship upgrades so they’ll be the only ones you have for a lil bit, since you cant put your auto charge thrusters on the wraith 😦
You could also just copy the whole ship with the mods on them, remove what you want and scrap it then copy it again
Might be more worth at that point to just leave the ship with everything on it, import it via the expedition terminal (because do you honestly want to keep the C rank hauler?), strip it, then collect the reward Wraith and supe it up with the spare parts
Not like 2800 nanites is a big cost overall. That's how I got a photonix core from my starborn runner on all my non living ships
Boom, two wraiths. Except one is missing some pieces like the parts car, and the other is your “project car” lol
Yeah 2800 Nanites is a handful of sentinel mods if you don’t already have them back in main save
so there are zero upgrades for them rn?
Living Ships have upgrades just like normal ships. They’re just unique to living ships
I just don’t know off the top of my head which ones the wraith comes with
I can’t be like “Oh look for the high frequency focusing lens in the upper left that comes with 40% damage” or anything lol
But if you peek there may be a couple to salvage and stack on your second wraith
Anyone have coords for a planet for crushing depths?
I think either R2 or R4 has a deep ocean world
R2 has Adtow I believe, just found it from a reddit post
In the pins it mentions an update potentially breaking something so be careful
I only took a quick peek, at work atm
There is a base on Adtow in the Haporin system that has a base called 1164m or something similar, glass all around, deep enough for the task
I created a base during the expedition, but when I went back to my main save I can't see it under your bases. Does this require a restart?
Did you finish the expedition and end it?
I’ve seen some folks talking about them not properly saving. Mine are still there, so I’m pretty sure they’re supposed to stay
how do i see which moons ive surveyed/
Got a pen and paper?
Really glad I did this expedition offline for that milestone alone. Too bad you can't "forget" all the info you automatically get when you're online.
I'm having some problems finding a tornado on the fourth pase of the expedition, I've been in a gas giant for an hour, any advice?
I found this adorable tiny little class-A ship 😍
It can land almost anywhere, and I put aqua-jets on it!
HAH, I can explore caves with it! 😎
I was like instantly dodging them on the first gas giant
hi everyone, quick question ...
should I do expeditions from my current save or from a new save ?
is there any pros / cons on one vs the other ?
am just a casual player and i always start from main.
you get to take quite some stuff into the expedition, from main save. i find that very helpful, since i want to have a base with hotspot miners (to help others and myself).
from main is the more convenient ("quicker") way imo. you can switch back to main save while exp is active (i never tried that yet).
copy your favorite ship and multitool into expedition too
end of exp: copy a ship and MT back to main save if you like, ressources and some tech too.
and they give you the money and nanite you earned for the main save, plus some for "learning words" and such
--
start fresh: feels more immersive 🙂
like a totally new save, the full adventure and no stacks of chrom metal from main save..
I make new save just i case there are some bugs that can affect your main save. Wonders records wipe for example.
👍
how much longer will the expedition last?

Hey guys, what happens to a freighter when ending an expedition?
puff
gone
Does it atleast become nanites?
I don't think so...?
honestly I never notice
Is it possible to finish expedition within 3 weeks?
yes
you can do it in couple hours
it's possible to finish it in 3h, depending on your game knowledge/how used to expeditions you are
I usually do expeditions in like 2-3 days
if I take my multitool to n expedition, is it better to take the "working/scammimg" tool or the "fighting" tool?
the working/scanning tool, there won't be any reason for combat in exp17
that said
you could even copy both
doesnt it copy just the active one ?
copy first, then save, pause/options/return to primary, switch to a different tool, save, resume expedition, copy a different one
exp terminus reads active gear, on both sides
it doesn't lock them in
unlike its inventory slots
when you start, it locks them in, can't be further edited, until all milestones are claimed
at which point, yes, you could apply the same principle described here^
and abuse exp terminus to bring back more than 8+24
many wont have that need tbh, almost academical at this point
Titan COMPLETE! It was worth waiting a week for some patches to roll in; made the experience much smoother & more enjoyable.
I nearly shat myself when I first came face to face with a giant squid.🤣
Woahh thanks!
if I do the expedition in new save I can still transfer stuff to main save right ?
not items/currencies, but phase and final rewards are unlocked account wide, regardless of how you started the expedition character. this is what you'd see in your other saves, what you could "claim", "bring in" from expedition17 progress
to transfer items when started from new save, you'd need another player to hold items for you, and this could only be done after your expedition character converted to normal mode, and if your main save isn't permadeath
Not online atm but worked on a fishing hub for the final tiers for gas giant fishing! Died to tornado hell so trying to make a safe haven for fishing there.
I found a cave system on a gas giant that had water inside, fishing mission completed in relative safety 🙂
As far as redux expeditions is it always just the directly previous one to the current one that they allow you to play again or do they ever offer other one’s from earlier in the games history?
Only expeditions from current year
Once they bringed back old expedition with mixtape of rewards from old expeditions
Oh bummer. I guess I will never get that Normandy frigate 😭
2 times already
They already brought the normandy back :/ so unlikely it will show up again
Oh really? shucks!
Guess I’ll have to use the Save Editor… Suck it, EA! I’m going to Steamworld!
Ea? Whaat?
So how often do they do this? Is it just completely random when they announce these?
At the end of the year
Well, EA published Mass Effect, for PC, and Console on later installments, but ME1 for X360 was published by Microsoft.
End of nov/ Start of dec
Hey guys I'm new to game currently doing the campaign but I wanted to know can I do the expedition now ? Or should I finish the campaign first
You can do both. An Expedition is separated from your main save, but you keep access to both until you finish the expedition and it merges into your main save.
Should I ? 😅 I clicked on it on anomaly and it said I can bring some stuff and all

Should have anything specific? Like a good gun or just jump in ?
The expedition starts you out on a new save so youll have all the basic gear
The links above have tips. Bring basic health materials, something for units and nanites. It takes 4k nanites to bring your ship and MT.
youll have none of the progress from your main save and it would be like youre starting a fresh save (because you are) but all the rewards you earn from the expedition you can redeem on any save
Easiest way to upgrade your weapon, believe it or not, is to remove the extra bolt caster modules and only have the main bolt caster weapon in the overcharged slot. This is because of how the Sentinels scale.
Oooo I see thanks then I need to farm some nanites 😅 even tho now that I think I still have the starting ship lol
Ez then 😁
No need to farm nanites in your main save. Your bank account doesn't transfer into the expedition. (but everything you earn in it does transfer out).
Bring a stack of runaway mould, or suspicious tech packets to open and sell for nanites.
nvm that i misread what you were saying
how far into the game are you?
Oh yeah I have some of them moulds 😁
The channel pins here also have tips.
Hmm was the name of that bit red space station atlas ? I went there and it said go to another one I'm at the second one right now the other two main quest line I don't know 😅
Thanks will read them before starting any expedition. But I have to say it's quite sad missing some of the old rewards . I love ship in this game
It's so hard to find someone to do the main story together but I think for expedition it would be easier and tbh that's what I look for the most , I always enjoy co op more
oh youre following the atlas path first? I didnt do that until the very end lol
No I was doing the other ones but I just couldn't find a way forward and just switched 😅 not super into story line more looking at it as exploring and unlocking stuff . I believe I'm Gona enjoy this game even more after that
The main story quest does unlock a few aspects of the game that will GREATLY aid in your exploration efforts though, I can tell you what it unlocks if you dont care about spoilers
Nah i don't care . I was watching a video on how to get some of the ships and saw "portal" is a big thing so I'm rushing for that
yeah finishing the main story quest and it will unlock all the portal glyphs which will allow you to travel to any planet you have the address to
Multiplayer can block some mission progression.
#nms-questions message
And I feel like that is a most for multiplayer?
Oooo didn't know that
the way you phrased this is making me confused
Sorry some times autocorrect ruins it
I mean like In multiplayer to get to other person that is far away portal is needed ?
its more so for going to specific planets you havent discovered yet then going to specific people, if you wanna meet up with a specific person its better to get into a group when them then use a space station portal to warp to them
If you're in a group, when leaving the anomaly it will warp you to them.
I see thanks , in the YouTube video I saw all the locations that were mentioned had a glyph address now I see what's going on
Fantastic 😁
idk if it was just me or its a bug rn but I tried doing this a few days ago with a group and the only option if would give me was to stay in the curreny system
Sounds like a bug
So how do you get to these expedition things? I am only 10 hours into the game with most of that just running around exploring.

Awesome thanks
Died almost as soon as I started the expedition. But also got the tornado milestone. So a bittersweet start 🙂 And then as if to goad me, the planet offers nothing but salt..... Subtle!
Check caves
Bro finding moons around the gas giants is absolutely miserable
I cannot find the one moon with the reosurce I need 😦
Any idea why I can’t rename anything I’ve discovered? I hold the button down and nothing happens. I’m stuck on the legacy quest and it’s the only thing I have left to do. It’s beyond frustrating
is that your PSN? The one that says it was discovered by?
I renamed a save beacon to finish mine, animals, plants, and rocks are probably already uploaded
Hey... I'm at the third rendevous and I get this mission, and I'm not sure how to locate those tornados, they don't seem to exist. do they not exist on the rendevous planet?
Starter planet has em
oof... didn't make a base there
Well, the mission text insinuates there are tornados on the 3rd rendevous planet
are there any other animals other then the birds in the moons ? its a ppain to kill teh birds :S
annd I need 150 loot from them xO
@night summit yeah that’s my psn
I’ve discovered a save beacon as well and I’m still running into the same problem
hmm I just can't find any storm, even on the starter planet, how do you locate one?
just when I asked again I found it
if you disable your network (or just unplug the cable) and go to a system you have not visited before you can rename the first thing you "discover". because it will assume you are the first to discover it
@lost apex my issue isn’t discovering, it’s the renaming itself 😅
I’ll try again and let you know if it works
that is exactly how I got the legacy quest. and credit to scottish rod where I learned the trick
So I tried what you suggested and I’m still running into the same issue
Can you tell me how you're avoiding them? The buggers're grabbing me every time I try to run for the ship for cover and flinging me all over the place. Lost two jetpack upgrades to them already and I've been playing about 20 mins!
Ooohhhh, that's a fun start. Spawned in the expedition and as I was spawning, a tornado hurled me away and I couldn't do anything. 30 minutes away from my ship 😂
is tehre a way to know if I have visited one of the moons already ? S:
no idea
Ah great... now my sentinel interceptor is damaged and I have no repair packs
all because the ship clipped under the ground during landing
Look for one of the Save & Chart locations. Hopefully it will let you rename one of those.
Try checking your Discoveries Tab. It won't let you see what fauna and stuff the planet has until you land on it and get out of your ship.
Like if you click on the Moon name on the left and it doesn't show information about it, you haven't been there yet.
I can't fucking find this last moon because there's STILL so many icons on my screen even though I have multiplayer off. Anyone have a surefire way to find a moon you haven't landed on yet? Because this shit is stupid. We're supposed to be on spaceships but I can't set waypoints or click on a moon in the discovery menu?
I made a screenshot of the discovery screen, put it on my second monitor, and crossed images off
That isn't my problem. I know which moon I haven't landed on but I can't find it
It's no help now, but if everyone goes back to the first system before they leave and creates numbered bases on each of the first systems moons, maybe we can turn two wrongs into a right?
enter /leave spacestation .. than look at the giant ... you should see up to 3 moons ... open discovery where you see all planets .. click on one of the moons ... If it shows no info about flora and fauna.. thats the one you did not visit
Like I said, I know which one I haven't visited but I can't actually find it.
Physically I can't see it anywhere. I keep going all around this shitty gas giant but every single moon I look at is not the moon I need.
thjan you need to fly at there side of that giant
seems to be not
I think one of them was rather far up or down,
otherwise you should find the last one
Pro tip: for "name a discovery", if you started from an existing file and have unnamed stuff, you can rename it and it counts
I actually saw someone today name a mineral in a rendevous system... didn't think there were any left
@coarse parrotwant me to portal over and try to help you locate it?
also have you tried disabling multiplayer and reload the game / save? not sure that works
@coarse parrotgotta tell me fast tho, about to leave the expedition
what do I do with the bones collected after completing the achievement ?
If I read the message box correctly, everything you don't take back with you will be auto-sold?
Sell them and make some Units.
The game says everything you don't take back will be converted into Units or Nanites as appropriate. So far it seems to be true to the best of my experience.
For renaming things you’ve found, all you have to do is hold triangle on PlayStation right? Or am I supposed to name it first?
I just grabbed the teleporter but it isnt showing up for me in the build menu
Can i not use it?
eh...
My bumdass forgot to put down a base computer my bad
how can I rename one of my discoveries if everything seems to have been already renamed by other players ? :S
I jumped away from the beaten path, around 1500LY away from the expedition path to find an untouched system
Look for one of these Save & Chart locations. Once you activate it you can rename it from the Discoveries Tab.
got it
To find them you can fly low and slow hitting your ship's scanner until a building Icon shows up.
if I geta pet on "pet inventory" I can go away and summon it any time right ?
What I did was look in the discoveries page - it lists some of the more prominent bases on a planet/moon in the description when you view the system. You can then target one of those bases to find the right planet/moon.
When you get closer, disengage so you can retarget on the planet itself.
Okay, I need help trying to figure out what angle I need to take the picture of the meeting point 4
NVM I FIGURED IT OUT
Can someone help me get a 1000 u deep ocean planet in the expedition
what are all these errors ? o.O
You can also just find any waypoint save thing in any charted system on any planet and rename it to get the legacy milestone
Oh whoops that was old message from an hour ago lol channel just refreshed for me
There is an aquatic planet in the second purple system of expedition that had a base named 1400u deep base. Another had a Nautilon to use nearby. If you’re playing with multiplayer on then try checking for player bases like this
Is there any planet that aren't discovered yet?
Probably not on the expedition route
You can warp to systems off the expedition route but really not necessary if you’re just going for the legacy milestone
I am doing it for the one mission where you have to named a discovery
Yeah, I just read your message, I am stupid
XD
Go to any system that is not Uncharted. Visit one planet and fly around scanning until you see house icon. Land and see if it is Waypoint save beacon thing. You activate it then you can open menu to discoveries tab and click waypoints on the upper right corner to rename one
That is how I got the milestone
How do I know if it's uncharted????
Well this thing fucking sucks.
Open galaxy map hover over a system and expand details or just open discoveries menu and look on left side of screen it will tell you current system details
I gotta go find another less shitty one.
(Also are space stations broken in this expedition, like with Adrift?)
Okay
alternative: goto a planet, fly low and slow, quick scan with your ship - when you see an unknown building marker, land, and interact with this, then rename it
I think purple systems are uncharted so stations are abandoned. Not 100% sure if it is all of them or not
not all purple star systems are uncharted
and uncharted actually means "no race icon in galaxy map, so not a gek korvax or vykeen system"
I meant just on expedition so far
Ah.
Oh okay
iirc starter system and rdv1 are both abandoned, rdv2 is uncharted, rdv3 is abandoned, rdv4 and 5 are inhabited
Abandoned is what I meant I think
Ah, no, this normal star has a station.
sorry a bit of a redit there
I need to earn 1200 more nanites then I’m done with expedition I think
any planet on a system with a space station, abandoned or not, will work for the strategy i mentioned
Not sure how to do it
What does this mean ?
you get a bonus when you map all animals on one planet
more of them the more unique animals there are on a planet
bonus nanite reward= nr of species on planet * 250 nanites
so, a single 4 animal planet where you scan all 4 animals gives you a bit more than 1000 units, assuming you actually use that marked button
I’ll try but I suck at mapping planets
Don’t think I ever have done it other than maybe once for omega
Once you land you can check which types of animals there are. Usually I tend to skip planets with Underground Rare
Important flags for you are: underground, ground, water, diurnal (daytime), nocturnal (nighttime), north or south
find planets with 1-6 fauna, those are really easy to do
or
!faq-nanites

to view info below, enable embeds
Yeah I got 3/8 on this planet just checked and the rest are all underwater
if they have no other underwater flag, just lift off, go into orbit, check for a water spot, land there, and dive
should be easy enough
wait a bit and you should have them within 1-2 minutes
unless you have nocturnal/diurnal/north/south restrictions
What is diurnal I just noticed one more is actually flying/diurnal
diurnal is daytime
So, either get yourself a coffee and wait for daytime, or fly to the dayside of the planet
Yep just got all of them and got 2k nanites idk how I miscalculated that but I am still short 102 nanites 🤣
Went on a whole mission to help a dude rebuild his atlandid drive that he managed to dismantle by accident
Was fun
Luckily a dissonant planet was right next to me so I got them from radiant shards 🙂
Oh wow... how long have we been able to repackage modules?
Because I can transfer the new drive from that shitty cargo ship they insist on giving us to my new superior sentinel ship.
since the waypoint update
How long ago was that?
late 2022
When I prepared for my expedition I wasn't able to repackage my Mk2 personal Refiner, any idea why that might be? the pin said to prepare a mk2 if you have it
Had something inside
yes
if you have access to purple star systems that is
interesting
or if you started and completed exp17 started from new save
expeditions take place in the existing universe
I always just assumed it was in a special universe
should be the same for every game mode 🙂
with certain possible variations due to difficulty settings, but basically and mostly the same
Will have to get some coords and travel out there then, I want a base on the rend 2 water world
mfw the buried tech isnt even reachable
the memory stones in the Resid Prime, do we need to interact with them to get the new building parts ? or do we get them all at the end ?
Is it below bedrock?
Bout as bad as cargo boxes being below bedrock
U can pick up things buried under bed rock if they are close enough
yeah and it isnt close enough to pick up
you'll have to unlock those per save
so no point trying to unlock them in the expedition ... right
(I startted the expedition from main save, does that count has "same save" ?
in this case, expedition character and primary character are counted as different saves
finished building another factory this time harvesting activated quartzite
near an electromagnetic hot spot too so free power
Does anyone know if you can get crystal sulphide on the starting planet?
you get it under oceans which afaik starter world has none
probably, in caves - i saw clams
oh interesting
caves filled with water
hmm where do I get the nutrient ingestor in the expedition ?
Scan fauna. It's a reward for completing that
I think I got a reward or something for it but I cant find it anywehre
click on a free exosuit tech slot
ah ... ok
and nutrient ingestor is actually unlocked by the cook food milestone, phase 2 milestone 3
Oh, right.
Also, storm crystals, are they useful after gathering for this expedition?
well, to sell for units, to possibly craft warp hypercore
Oh right, hypercores need them.. eh.
Yes
I named this and I mean they look like eggs! Am I wrong!?
I would have named them Money
Any tips for finding water on gas giants? I went back to the starting planet
on the other gas giant you can usually find a player base named something like "fishing spot" or "water here"
use visor to look for caves (subterranean relic, humming sac), and/or after you find caves, look for armored clam or crystal sulphide icons -- caves with water. that said, flying low and slow, entering photo mode to set fog to 0%, moving the sun to mid day, and moving camera past the player weather bubble can often help as well.

This number genuinely pisses me off, because you don't earn this amount any other way and nothing you can buy is a multiple of anything other than 10.
WHY would they give us this amount?
Can somebody check the end date for the expedition please?? I have to update my nms and have slow AF Internet. Lol
5 weeks, you're fine.
Sweet thank you!!
I JUST HAVE TO GET THE LAST MEETING POINT AND IVE OFFICIALLY FINSHED MY FIRST EXPEDITION!
IVE DONE IT!
@south yacht
No gifs in this channel please
Okay, where can I post gifs then?
Cant seem to get a storm to spawn on the first planet
a storm for?
Storm crystals
Why is it refusing to let me build on terrain?
It doesn't even snap to the terrain, it just goes through.
Is it the expedition's fault or is something else going on?
known bug, should be fixed next public patch, save, close game completely, relaunch, try again
Okay!
Is that really what it's called?
Okay any tips im a new player still under the 40 hours mark i kinda rushed to the first rendevous because in the first 5 seconds of my expedition save i got the tornado badge from like phase 5 or something
Lol, I did that to!
You can do the stuff in basically any order
The second time I did the expedition it took me forever to get to my ship. I'm thinking I had the tornado early the first time and I still haven't experienced a tornado this time. Some how the game thinks I was in a tornado because I claimed the reward.
If I save a freighter during the titan expedition and have the option to take the freighter or get the cash reward what should I pick?
I'd say it depends on whether you're going to keep the save after the expedition finishes
The tornado did not look like a tornado tbh just a whirlwind with rocks not like a standard american tornado where it looks like itll swallow a farm
Wydm it's just my main save file right?
Depends on if it’s a new save you made with expedition or an existing,
Oh Ok I didn't know it was your main save. I would skip the system freighter and take the capital freighter since you can get the first one free.
At least I think it's on my main? It might not be idk. What does this message mean? I'm traveling to the third rendezvous and when I warped into one of the systems on the way there was a freighter getting attacked by pirates
It's a b class worth 16 mil
I have a freighter in my main save already
That's the pirate dreadnaught. You can get them any time . Just take out the rear engines and the weapons on top then the freighter will surrender and you can board it and take it over
That's a regular freighter battle. That's where you reload the save and keep having the battle until you find an S class
Ok but should I take the money or the freighter
Do I need a freighter for the expedition
depends on what you want. if you already have a freighter you'll have to pay for it. I didn't need one. I bought a system freighter just to have one.
I have a freighter in my main save but not in the expedition save
@brittle comet When I get ready to get a freighter I go to somewhere like coordinates exchange and find the one I want then go get it.
As far as I know you don't need one in the expedition
Ok ig I'll just take the 400 gold. What can you take with you to your main save at the end of the expedition?
I don't know about that I always start the expedition as a new save.
That sucks. I created a base during the Expedition and it's gone on original save.
How is that possible? It worked for me before.
Does the expedition need to be over?
I would think that if you've claimed the final reward the expedition should be over for you.
The last thing I did was put down a base computer and a teleporter. It's not available.
i wouldn't expect bases to transfer to an existing save
Has done in all previous expeditions.
only if you're creating a save from a new save you made with an expedition
There has been a lot of bugs lately
but idunno. i'm pretty new to expeditions
It seems like this is a bug. Oh well, it wasn't a big base or anything like that.
Did you get your resources back or just loose them when the base disappeared?
It normally works just fine
It was resources for a base computer and teleporter, I have no idea if I got that back or not. Too small to notice.
Yeah you didn't loose much. I dropped a base computer once and built the entire base. My game crashed just as I finished. Immediately I began wondering when I saved last. I found out when I reloaded the game that it was when I built the base computer.
That was before auto save so I had to build the entire base again.
I'm sorry for your loss. That's no fun
Thanks but, back then it wasn't a big deal. I was more into building so rebuilding the base wasn't a big deal.
As long as it wasn't in my 800 hour save that disappeared I still have the base.
I know it's just game, but still, losing such a huge save would sting :P
I've still got my main save that has 2100 or 2200 hours maybe 2300 hours on it. Would be more but, I haven't played but maybe 100 hours on it in the last 2 years.
I found an S class ship in expedition anyone like to try and get to it not sure how to make it happen
does nms allow u to sell or like transfer ships?
Yes can copy it over after expedition but it will not be an s class when I leave so can give planet address and can look for the new S class or try and follow me to it and claim then copy it back but I'm not aware of a way to sell it to anyone
This is what looks like if anyone wants to try
I would love to do it but would it be possible to do tomorrow like is there a time limit?
No anytime before we leave expedition dm me and can try and work it out
Ok thanks
I have forgotten how to find Autophage camps so I can get a better multi-tool. 😭
Is there a map I can get from the cartographer? I don't recall there was before.
Charge the tech thing on ur staff
Idr what the name was
I have no staff.
I got the Sentinel ship, but the multitool in that camp sucked
It's been a year and a half since played and don t recall how to find the camps or build a staff.
Nvrmnd. Found the answer. Need echo locatirs from killing the resonators
If have stuff equipped can find some tools farming sentnal ships use eco locater but if in expedition we all start out as new so not able to till get back to main save
Is it necessary to activate multiplayer in network settings to see other people's bases now?
Even if I'm not an end game player, is it possible to build a base in the gas giant system and once the exp ends, you can still visit it?
probably not
visiting friend's base in purple system or using portal also don't work
I can see other people's bases in the teleporter now after warping to another system. Returned to starter system and the list of bases shown is for the outlaw system that I warped to... not the bases in the starting system
wew, managed to free up for expedition after a long long week
usual stuff to bring in? or anything particularly useful for this one?
i brought in some phosphorus this time and was really glad i had it
A lubricant and some magnetic resonators
U can build one but once the expedition ends u won't be able to access it until u do the quests to unlock purple stars
You can also bring in a stored aquatic jets module. It's kind of cheating, I know. But it works

Sounds good
It is done my lord
340million units..........how ling did it take u ?
I always take in starship ai valves and tainted metal so I have some units and nanites to play with for expedition
is there a way to join that expedition and be able to claim that much stuff lol
You can get most of the units and stuff back and stuff you built up in the expedition so alls good.
Having a few hundred mill and a few thousand nanites on hand makes the expedition easier, especially if you need to buy resources or something
ye, was just wondering, just started like less than a week ago
Im starving for nanites
Hey Guys! An issue: last point for phase 1, tell me to take a photo on %PLANET%, but which planet ? :/
If still in the Phase 1 system, fly to each of the 5 gas giant moons, land, hop out, take picture.
Catch and release fish for nanites
a picture on each of 5 gas giant moon ?
open Discoveries tabs, see system, the gas giant in Phase 1 system has 5 orbiting moons, they take a bit to fly to cos gas giant so big.
U need to take a picture on the rendezvous planet
No u don't. That's just land on every moon but that's not the bit they are stuck on
It should tell u what planet to return too to take the pic
It doesn't tell me on which planet to take a pic because there is a bug , only %PLANET% instead of the planet name.
I cant find a sunken Freighter, been searching for 20mins now
U just need to goto the rendezvous planet. I cant remember what it was called for each one
Hello, I am here to ask for assistance. I am a newer player to this game and still don't know how a large part of it works. Yesterday I started the expedition 17 thing and while setting off in my ship found a black hole and thought eh why not. I didn't think it would throw me as far away from the expedition start area as it did and I am now quite literally stuck in a new system. Is there any way I can get back to the planet quickly? I haven't found another black hole or anything. I know it's possible to teleport to a base that someone in your group has but I am currently alone and have no idea what else to do in order to get back to the starting gas giant.
Ok i check it, thanks!
Please if anyone can help I would be insanely thankful
Did you land at a space station in the first system or phase 1, because you can teleport to that space station,
Also if you’re lucky you can go to the anomaly and go to the teleport there, there may be a chance that someone else is doing the expedition and may have a base you may be able to teleport to
I did not land at the station first, I didn't know I had to land on them to unlock the teleport before this. As for the anomaly thing, I have been trying to do that even asking for help in the anomaly but I don't get any replys
Don’t ask, just go to the teleport and see what option you have at the teleport
For player bases, or space stations you might get lucky
I couldn’t find one anywhere on an aquatic planet yesterday so left the system and found one in a standard planet with seas. I guess you’re seeing a big empty area like this..?
Didn't find a teleport to the system but got a teleport to rendezvous one lol, guess thats at least a bit lucky
I didn't know the teleporter worked like that, thank you for your help
Actually just keep getting no buildings found, but so your saying ditch Rendezvous spot 2 and find another planet ?
I was getting the indicator and when i arrived it was saying location found but just a big empty area as in pic - so yeah I found it outside the system on a standard shallow ocean - which was a lot easier actually
Allright ill try thanks 😄
It still triggers the milestone even tho in a different system
when collecting the last rewqard, it shows to purchase the new wraith ship
do I need to buy it to get it ? on the other saves?
Finally awake! I will work on the hub a bit more and share it <3
check the pinned posts:
yes, accept the ship in expedition to unlock it account wide
how to Itrnasfer stuff to the mains save now? I went to the terminal but when I click the slots I cant select anything ?
and I have an option to copy some tool and some ship
meaning that you havent completed and claimed all milestones
and/or you must press "end expedition" first
there will be two buttons, one after the other; "end", and "finish"
"end" unlocks stash
"finish" actually "finishes"
The tech in the ship stays, but the cargo doesn't transfer.
got it
so, equip all I want in the ship and staff, pick some materials to transfer and the rest will be gone/converted into credit, correct ?
Yes. Though it is possible to make multiple trips back to your primary save. Just don't click End.
ok so ... in the expedition terminal I jsut have the End button
is I press I see this
(sorrry my first expedition jsut want to make sure I dont mess up xD)
I want to go take things onthe main save and come back to add the rest (if possible)
basically, before this, you can't modify expedition terminus inventory slots, correct?
yes I see now the "Finish button that I believe I ahould not press
correct
at this point, you should now be able to modify inventory slots
and add your items
then simply back out when done
save
(enter+exit ship) then pause/options/return to primary
aaaa how do I exit this screen without pressinf the Finish button ? :S
right mouse button/back should work just fine
doesnt :S
uh..
what if you escape?
weird
well, i'm sorry, dont really see what else i can suggest here, if it's not letting you back out i'm not sure if it will be possible anymore/if devs patched it
no worries, at least I now know what I should do xD
didnt have much left anywaht its fine
I've never seen Finish. The terminal unlocks after Collecting all milestone rewards. Then fill it up. Once I click End expedition the screen changes and all the items from inventory are processed.
there should be, like palanolho saw, two buttons; "Finish expedition" only appears after "End expedition" has been pressed
But I can modify the terminal slots before clicking End.
they said they couldn't :/
All milestones have to be collected.
well i asked if they had
I cannot edit the terminal after clicking End.
i guess they didn't catch that, and hadn't completed+claimed all milestones
phase 2, by sky and sea reward
So i've done this, but can't find it anywhere. shouldn't the Hydrothermal Fuel Cell show up in the menu?
ignore me, im being a noob. Thanks for your help @remote thunder
we all are at something
Did they fix the problem of not being able to take pictures of the rendezvouz points ?
is it normal that i'm not finding a single freighter underwater despite looking for over 30 minutes
i checked on a normal planet with water and i started looking in the new all water planet
I’m on the experimental branch, they haven’t fixed it yet. (Tho I didn’t test the very latest experimental patch, didn’t have any time yet). They are working on it tho, because in the photo milestone rdv 5 changed something in one of the patches. I hope they fix it soon😄.
can u find a base someone put down by one? i looked in the teleporter and found a base labelled "underwater freighter"...went there and found it...
i'm looking around for bases like that just now and i'm not finding them
which is the most worrying thing
all the bases are lithium extraction points or just normal bases
maybe try hitting up a few different space stations and check the teleporters there...
The submarine roamer, you get the semantics and free unlock of the scanner use that
found a base, thanks for the suggestion @arctic narwhal
yea that's what i did in those 30 minutes
i used like 8 fuel cells to recharge it
for some reason i didn't find a single one
So just to be sure,
You get into you’re sub select the menu and choose the. Scanner and search specificly for sunken frigates
yes
that's what i did yes, i also tried with wrecked ships to see if at least that could appear
i found 1 ship, that's it
no freighters
but no worries i found a player's base with one freighter
I’ve had people that weren’t aware of that so just wanted to check.
If this happiness again.
Best thing to do is, call you ship fly to another spot and try again further away.
Hey tell me if this is the wrong channel for this but it's to do with the expidition somewhat..
My friend has just had his game crash on him and for some reason it has reset his progress in the expidition massively.. its like it hasn't saved for the entire day but on top of that he's been reverted to an earlier save than even that as he's lost some of what he did yesterday as well which he's closed and opened the game in that time... just wondering if that's a common bug and if they're a fix for restoring his progress
We're on xbox if that helps
Any help is appreciated thank you
Like I said if this is better asked in a different channel please let me know
have you seen the pinned post - had info to help - seems no longer needed
only possible fix would be to save editor progress forward again, but that's not a fix most will want to do, as it is quite complex and many aren't even in the position to do so (pc only)
yea i fixed by using a player's base
fwiw
Yeah ok not possible so that's really annoying he lost ALOT of progress

for those struggling with the naming a discovery mission as I did, I found a system that's pretty distant from randesvouz 4, however I managed to get first contact on. all I have done is named the system, nothing else, not the flora, fauna, minerals, nor even planets are discovered.
takes a while to find them, but they can be found around. your best bet is to find any divots that aren't caves I guess
so i just pick a direction and pray?
in what way?
well water is flat or wavy. using the scan button can identify those if you can't see very well whether because of night or the fog

keep going straight down basically
Got my fish!
yay 🙂

I’m trying to find Rendezvous 2 so I can get the “Crushing Zone” milestone, but I can’t find a way back! 🥺 It’s not in the teleporter history
Every rendezvous point EXCEPT number 2 is listed 🤦🏻♀️
open galaxy map, "free explore" with camera - look for Haporin
rdv2 is an uncharted system, it has no space station
it'd only be in teleporter list if you had claimed a base computer there
Anyone have coords on adtow for fathom's below?
Hi BK! I saw a reply somewhere you said a planet would be possible in R5?
you shouldn't need any using nautilon/quick menu/scan/crashed freighters
been searching for a bit, no dice
save on that planet, close game completely, relaunch, retry, it will work this time
Already on the patch, that's not it.
But i'll try anyway.
no, for crush zone you need a waterworld, and the only one in expedition route systems is in rdv2, it's rdv2 planet itself. seriously, rdv3, rdv1, they're like 400LY away, just goto one of those, then open galaxy map, you'll have no trouble panning around and finding Haporin: you've been there before, it'll be easily visible, have its name above it, a white circle around its star
that is it
Aha! Found it in my discoveries tab! Thanks!!!
people who have gotten the patch
needed 1 last save+restart game for it to apply
trust me, been down this road plenty of times now
No I mean this is my like second save+restart since the patch applied. First one I was doing crush zone so I didn't notice
i don't mean reload from main menu
i mean save on the planet, close game completely
launch
I know. Full QTD, then relaunch
then you're simply out of range of any
also, be sure to have multiplayer disabled just in case
Which is why I asked for coords, seeing as I'm not trying to spend 30+ minutes going in circles.
alternatively, you could simply do this in rdv5
Planet Adtow! Found it! Hope this works!
+4.44, -69.93, 1000u+ deep; remember, not all areas of the ocean will be deep enough
just in case its messing with your targetting
Oof. I suck at narrowing down coordinates, even looking thru the cockpit.
just land on the middle of the largest contiguous water mass you can see from space
Yeah, I figured. Thanks
BLAST! Only getting around 800u deep. Just like last time lol this’ll take awhile
took me 3 relocations to find one
Can’t complain too much. My god, it’s gorgeous down here. Such amazing additions and sea creatures!!!
Have you seen the little crab guys who have what looks like nautical helmets for their shells?!
Expeditions are totally not overpowered for funds
i am searching for the last fauna have you found it by any chance?
I can’t recall what planet that was on, that was a recording I made on my PS5. Sorry
in truth I may or may not have gone searching for a discovery to rename and run into several dreadnought battles where I demanded tribute and got millions.
Maybe I can find it in my history or something
last one, "common"
i dont think its really "common"
nevermind
JUST found it
its an octopus
They’re all super unique! I saw a giant squid the size of a frigate, it was insane
Bigger, actually
God, I love the underwater stuff. So beautiful
accidentally sold my terrain manipulator multi tool and I can't get it back on expedition, I hope they drop the patch today
Im so afraid of the ocean in this game i donno why lol
do the squid attack you? it gives me ptsd just thinking about it
It didn’t attack me. One got stuck, so I killed it out of mercy. lol
lol amazing
Abysmal Horrors still do, though. Those eyeball things
do you know if seaglass is only at the deep part?
you find it at 600 .. 800 and 1000
I actually just found some not far from the shore of a little island I landed on
ahh right on i dont think i can complete this one its just too freaky
thalassophobia?
(Fear of the ocean)
I think so which is weird because i used to sail
once i get to like 200 i freak out and turn around
There’s no dangers I’ve seen, mostly all decorations. I rarely see the eyeball things down there. Just glowing flora, and swimming fauna.
if i can find some glass i might just be able to close my eyes and hold the down button haha
I don’t judge, I get it, some people can’t play games like Subnautica
If I could join you and guide you through the anxiety, I would! I’m not sure players can meet up on expeditions, though. lol
Me, I’m still trying to just find a deep enough ocean area for that damn Crush Zone milestone
@remote thunder is it safe to say if there’s ANY islands around, it won’t be deep enough?
not sure, but i assume so, since islands are basically the top of giant underwater mountains
no telling how big the shelf is
I may have to search other systems, I’m having NO luck with this planet in R2
Ok, I’ll keep looking.
I reviewed your guide, it seems as I get closer to say the positive one, I’m going further and further away from the negative one.
All my life, I’ve had NO sense of direction, even irl lol
I get close to the top of the ocean, and if I can see plants glowing, I’m pretty sure it won’t be deep enough
first number=latitude=N/S, look up at the compass for those icons. second number=longitude=E/W, look at the compass for those icons. get to one of those first, then stay on it as best as you can while you travel to the other coordinate
now im wondering if the planet im on is deep enough... lol
Thanks. But it’s gonna take awhile. Oof
Ok, I’ve managed to reach latitude +4.44 but longitude is +135.05…
Oh, wait, it’s supposed to be NEGATIVE 4.44. Fml
Omg I had it backwards. Ugggh.
POSITIVE 4.44 latitude, NEGATIVE 69-whatever for longitude. This is gonna take forever
Sorry to bellyache so much, but this is what confuses me, if I approach latitude, the longitude changes, too, so no matter where I move, it appears the numbers don’t line up, so I have no idea how to pinpoint how to get there, even using the compass
I’m on expedition phase 3 and need to get back to rendezvous 2. Anyone mind helping?
One sec, I think I remember how to find your way back
the idea here is to get latitude right first, by using N/S icons. when you're there, you just need to face a direction that lets you change longitude, but keep latitude the same - as in, you're traveling along the same latitude.
alternatively, build a base comp+teleporter, interact with it, see if you can find any uploaded player bases that say crush zone or 1000u deep or something along those lines
Thanks! So far no one has built a base there, maybe I will if I find it lol
rdv3 is like 300-400 LY away from rdv2 system Haporin - simply galaxy map warp back to it
Pause menu, click on discoveries, review the list of “Visited Systems” scroll down until you see “Haporin” then set waypoint, then you’ll find your way in the galaxy map
you'll literally see its name in the galaxy map
waypointing it shouldn't even be necessary tbh
it's literally just zoom out a bit, pan around, see Haporin, select it, warp to it
That’s easier for me, cuz I’m a derpy gal with no sense of direction lol
Latitude first, got it. That may help!
after you have latitude "locked on", you use E/W compass markers to face the right direction, as in, the number is increasing or decreasing depending on your current position
This is not as easy as it sounds, or I’m just dumb. The closer I get to +4.44, the further I get from -69, and I’m rotating around trying to get them to stay on course.
I’m so close though
don't worry about getting it exactly perfect with ship
and the reason why that's happening
is because you're not yet fully aligned with latitude lines
+4.24, - 70.44 close enough, I hope
yeah should be
i guess
i didn't exactly scan the whole thing down there
another thing that might help is to quick scan with the nautilon
Ok, let’s test it. Fingers crossed 🤞
it sends out that quick pulse that kinda just does a surface scan
Yeah, I used that for sunken ruins and stuff
might help pinpoint terrain
GOT IT!!!! lol you’re the best, as always, BK. Thank you
Made a primitive base at the bottom, hope it helps people. They’ll have to swim back up, I don’t have the time or pieces to make a landing pad at the top, etc lol
Does getting the wraith unlock organic frigate quest?
question, anyone know if you can transfer inv from new expedition save back to an older one (if you didn't use the terminus)
AFAIK, no, you cannot as they are different save files
sad.
Anyone working on phase 2?
To unlock the Organic Frigates you need to send Frigates on expeditions and at some point one of those missions will return the Dream Arial. If you are unsure if that has already happened, you can try to craft something in your inventory and check to see if the Dream Arial is an option.
Exp 17 phase 3 sunken freighter - quick and free for all 😛 (im registered base, tomorrow may appear)
is there another planned expidition after current?
who knows
could be reduxes until world's part 3
there's probably going to be a break after 17
to transfer multi-tool, do I finish the expedition and then copy it in the main save?
talking about pillar of titan?
yes sir
you don't even need to copy it using expedition terminus, you can simply claim it from the qs shop in main save(s)
expedition character unlocks stuff for every other save
I see, same goes for the ship too I guess?
yep, right there at the top on that image
thank you
that said, you might have even done upgrades to pillar of titan you played with in expedition
you could certainly leave expedition with it equipped
and then copy it from expedition, through expedition terminus, after you're back on primary
I see
and there were some "mission related items" that I didn't use, any reason why the game game doesn't allow me to transfer them?
Lol I got the milestone to get picked up by a tornado before my suit even finished booting up for the first time. 😂
what kind? if you're thinking of activated quartzite or quartzite, or lithium - dev decision
heh, yeah, there's been a few reports like that
okies. thanks
Phase 4 Part 3, Get Carried away by a tornado, anyone know, if i can do it in the same system as the Gas Giant from Phase 3, or do i have to move one, and if so what type of planet am i looking for -?
as a complete new player, should i start with expedition or normal play?
As a complete new player, normal play. You got a few weeks to do expedition and it's actually somewhat easy if you use a guide so you don't miss anything and have to backtrack
Short answer, yes, you can do it in gas giant
Long answer, tornadoes spawn on all gas giants (afaik), so yes, you can do it in the p3 system
(though honestly it's much easier to do it before leaving New Atesfi (spawn planet))
what @modest token said; i do recommend turning off multiplayer and save+reload from main menu
So, should i back track to spawn planet or what do i look for on the gas giant
you shouldn't need to do much tbh, just stand idle on a gas giant
seeing them, hearing them, really wont take long
they literally chase the player
Nah, don't bother backtracking. Either idle like bk says for a few minutes, or go searching for a vortex with chunky rocks and lightning in it. (There are smaller ones for effect that don't count, so be wary)
allright thanks guys 😄
Happy to help!
also, I did end up finding a sunk freighter (and completing the expedition)
I found a base named sunken freighter at the last or second to last rendezvous. Very useful.
I just finished the expedition. How do I get those cool ancient ruin decorations again? It doesn’t appear to be in my base-building inventory, and I couldn’t find blueprints in the Anomoly 🥺
possibly the coolest space station I've see in nms
Do I need to go back to another planet like that one and collect pieces? They were all awarded to me during the expedition. Can’t figure out how to get them back. (Those stone arches and stuff like look like ruin pieces)
They’re not in the “stone structures” section, I assumed they were supposed to be in “decorations” they’re gray-colored
unlocked per save, yes, you do need to unlock them in your main save, collecting memory stones from ruined worlds
12 parts to unlock
Thanks again!
im in the start cant find copper anywhere and also no one speaks english where i am so idk if im just unfortionately somewhere that mostly other country is in or if im in the wrong region idk
You trying to make, Chromatic ? Refine Quartzite 😄
o thank u so muchh
Np 😄
Im just patiently waiting on a gas giant to pick me of the ground xD nothings happend yet, imma run out of batterys before it does i think xD haha
is that something u have to do or something u want to do
On Phase 4 part 3 yes xD
my issue is i just get bored running around alone lol
i often get chased by tornadoes because i stand around looking at the atmosphere for too long 😅
btw, having multiplayer enabled might be messing things up for some
I havent seen the shred of 1 tornado yet
For me that tornado did always show up as I did finish a litte hut 🙂
odd
could also try going to starter planet; fly low and slow, see if you can catch sighting of one in the mountains
For me the starter planet was a gas giant xD
yes, for all of us
starter planet is always gas giant
starter planet, rdv3 planet, they both are gas giants
well, in exp17 is always a gas giant
You think multiplayer might be screwing me over?
personally, i kept multiplayer disabled the whole time, didn't have to wait but 5minutes into a save before i got picked up by one while looking for crystalized helium.
was thinking it was going to happen while storm crystal farming, ended up happening in a fairly mountainous terrain that i didnt even see the tornado, i just felt it sucking me in and pushing me up
anything special i should bring/not bring for this expedition?
the basics ( see #nms-expedition message ), +1 lubricant
Is there a trick to finding aquatic worlds? I've been jumping to system that say water but no luck in finding anymore aquatic planets to get the milestone for 1000u
Rendevous 3 is an Aquatic world where its 1000u down
That one was a gas giant. I know rendezvous 2 was an aquatic world but I couldn't find a spot that was 1000u
@scarlet wigeon coords in pic
Oooh sorry xD, might be sure, i mean i got to 1000u on that planet
definitely
it's the only planet in expedition route systems that can meet that requirement
Thank you! Looks like I'm gonna be burning some extra warp fuel to get back lol
remember to look at space station upgrade module shops when you first get the chance - get more fuel efficient, more range
Did that system have a space station?
rdv2 Haporin system does not have a station
you'll need to warp back
that said
all rdv systems are in the same region basically
you can easily see them, they'll be showing their names in the galaxy map even
if you're struggling, can just cursor over it in discoveries, and waypoint it, then open galaxy map
Looks like the objective marked another system i happened to have a space station i discovered next to it. Going to give it a try
hey i cant find copper in the first system, can someone tell me what to do
I cant find a goddamm tornado anywhere on this Gas giant
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
aaaah
GOD
thank you 😄
now i can play again
thx! ❤️
how should somebody know that 😮
is there any information to read?
try teleporting back to Skatae and trying out just landing somewhere on the gas giant - i often try the unusual stuff
