@thorn pivot start here ^

[thorn pivot]

Ok!

Hi guys! If a kind soul would be available sometime late tonight to help
Me taxi to rendezvous 4 from
The expedition! That would be awesome! I had the glitch and can no longer find the hohakyn XV system.. would also
Need Rendezvous 5
It’s to get the photo of the each olanet

I can meet you somewhere 😝

[remote thunder]

i gave you multiple alternatives here - for example, star cabs, or service bot

[thorn pivot]

Yes I posted in LFG and was told to try expeditions lol
I’ll try the star cab / service bot next

[royal jetty]

I got my first freighter for freee it A class should I keep it as i will only keep it during expedition?

I could try for anouther one right?

[remote thunder]

take it

no point considering freighter class farming; i'd have suggested the same thing if you had said "c-class"

[thorn pivot]

just to let you know it worked like a charm, thank you so much! I can finally finish this expedition ahah! what a cool service also

[slim hearth]

Does someone know where can I find a 1001 u waterworld

[remote thunder]

Please check the pinned post

Rdv2 planet

Teleport back to rdv3 or starter system, then waypoint Haporin system through Discoveries if you don't have a base there already

[thorn pivot]

Question: can I access purple systems on my main save if I copy over the Atlantidium hyperdrive from my expediton save, even though I have not completed the Artemis quest on the main save?

Is there more to it than just having the hyperdrive?

[remote thunder]

an exp17 character started from new save, and then converted to normal will retain the ability to see and warp to purple star systems and even craft atlantid drive, without completing the quest

[valid aurora]

Can anyone help me gather some sea glass

[remote thunder]

can be done on Adtow, rendezvous2 planet - use nautilon to go down

@valid aurora ^

[random zenith]

get scanner upgrades from any space station (a/s tier preffered), goes quickly after a full set

[remote thunder]

[royal jetty]

Is it worth copy ship mutie tool?

to expedition?

[dreamy ledge]

Yes

That way you can copy it back after the upgrades into main save

Also, does anyone know why bases from this expedition don't transfer into my main save? They did on previous expeditions

[royal jetty]

I know how to get nanites in the main save but what about here?

[dreamy ledge]

Same here. Pugneum, mold, random wrecks of shit, selling upgrades

[glass badge]

@plucky spear Did ya figure it out?

[royal jetty]

Idium drive is the best one right?

[plucky spear]

Yeah last night sorry I was at work today

[woeful wyvern]

atlantid but indium is the best you can get without being in the titan expedition or having completed in stellar multitudes

[quaint urchin]

From what I've been reading, unless you've completed In Stellar Multitudes on your primary save you don't get to keep your bases due to no access to Purple Star Systems.

[dreamy ledge]

Ah, thank yku

I thought I was going crazy for a moment

[nova solar]

Guys how do i find rendezvous point if i lost it for the next quest💀

[glass badge]

If you go into the log it should tell you the name of the planet and u can warp back

Also in the glaxy map you can see previous systems you uave visited they have a white circle on them

[heady prism]

is there anyone i can hitch a ride with to go to r4 and r5, lost the waypoint to the bug :'(

[trail musk]

Pop your atlantid drive in the Wraith, then copy back to main save.... tah-da! Purple access ^_^

[heady prism]

nevermind! joined the cabby server tq!

[lapis nexus]

how do I get my discoveries and bases from expedition to my normal save? I had base at 1000u+ depth in expedition, but now after the expedition is done, I found new depth record at 300u+, also can’t access the 2 bases I did at expedition

[lapis nexus]

ah found the base answer just up, I did that purple star quest thing after I had completed expedition. I think that made it also so, I didn’t get any discoveries from there

[glass badge]

Or just do the short questline

[faint sigil]

Can I copy the reward multitool from expedition to my main save and then collect reward to get two copies of that multitool?

@hushed cipher if you still need coordinates of a sunken freighter

[indigo elm]

For Expedition 17, I have most of the milestones done, except for the photos at rendezvous points. I have that bug that unlocked all the rendezvous milestones, even though I never went to any of them. I found the post online that has all the coordinates, but can someone help me find a portal, or the rendezvous points themselves?

[leaden latch]

The last Rendezvous is a Portal and coordinates are listed for each POI in this link #nms-expedition message

[quaint urchin]

There's actually a Flag in the save file in addition to having the Atlantid Drive. For those starting a New save for the Expedition this flag is already checked, so they retain access to Purple systems. Those starting from an Existing save via the Terminal in the Space Anomaly lose access upon completing the Expedition if they have not completed In Stellar Multitudes. Ref: https://www.nomanssky.com/2025/02/expedition-seventeen-titan/

What do you do in expedition 17

Or any experience

[remote thunder]

expeditions are like quests, each is separated into multiple phases, each requiring sub objectives to complete.

Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players ( ) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

[lusty slate]

As MuhChicken said, that won't work. Purple system access isn't granted by just having the drive. For all saves aside from former Titan expedition saves, you have to complete In Stellar Multitudes to open them. Purple systems are late game content and the game makes certain you can't access them on your main until you're supposed to.

[wintry void]

could always make a new expedition save, complete expedition and use it as a new main save

[lusty slate]

Yeah, if someone is determined to avoid the story but wants purple systems, that's the way.

[wintry void]

dont even have to complete expedition, when expedition ends will be converted to normal

[wintry void]

I made 2 expedition saves to just do that 🙂

[lusty slate]

I wonder... is possible to start a Titan save, auto convert it to normal and then switch it to Abandoned mode?

Because I might

[wintry void]

dont think so

dunno tbh

i thought abandoned was its own mode like PD and expedition

[lusty slate]

Hmm, I'm going to ask

Per BK, no.

[cinder bear]

Anyone have a list of portal glyphs for the Titan rendezvous planets?

[cold valley]

Should I finish story before I do the expedition?

[royal jetty]

I just want enought to get my ship over

[remote thunder]

plenty of time to start an expedition17 character, ends in 17 days

[cold valley]

How long does it take for me to finish the expedition?

[royal jetty]

I guess the only way to see runaway mould is in the analysis mode?

[remote thunder]

depends on game knowledge acquired so far, but on average newer players will probably get it done in 5-10h

[remote thunder]

if flying low and slow, 3 star resource icons pop on ship's compass; they can also be marked by exocraft's quick scan (when in range). you can probably find uploaded bases near curio spots. that said, refining stuff like radiant shards or inverted mirrors also works well. or even buying+unpacking sus packets tech/arms+selling upgrade modules for nanites. remember that there's other activities that will trigger additional bonus nanite rewards, that would be merged with primary character (if you started expedition character from anomaly)

[royal jetty]

can I tell if a planet has buride Tech moduel?

[remote thunder]

any planet that doesn't have rusted metal or gold in resource list, in a gek/korvax/vykeen system will have buried tech modules

[nimble python]

anyone know how much time is left

[remote thunder]

@nimble python ^

[nimble python]

yo thank you

[copper pebble]

Hi guys !

Just finished Titan Expedition, any reason i don't see any purple stars anymore ?

[remote thunder]

as shown by the Gunter post i pinged you in in #nms-questions ,completing exp17 started from an existing character doesn't give it the ability to see purple stars

[outer sinew]

Good

[sick jay]

Once you try out buying sus arms packets and opening to sell upgrades for nanites you will never want to go back to grinding mold

[remote thunder]

true

[sick jay]

Pirate stations are very common and it's easier to grind a few coins to buy tech packets than look for hours and get a mold farm with like 3 colonies on the side of a mountain that roll down into water

[remote thunder]

(can always build walls around curio deposits though)

personally, i still rely a lot on zoology

[sick jay]

Plus the time it takes to refine mold

[remote thunder]

planets with 1-6 fauna are very easy to get, and if it's just a few thousand nanites, i'll go with that

[sick jay]

Yea I do that too

[remote thunder]

if i need massive nanites, then i'm going with sus packets for sure

(contraband agent now restocks on reload too, so)

[sick jay]

Still I always default to pirate stations

They're very effective

And you can run extensive contraband buying for profit to buy more packets with

[remote thunder]

yep yep

[royal jetty]

how do I get nanites from fauna?

[steady skiff]

Do the nanites and quicksilver I get on this expedition convert to my main save?

[remote thunder]

bonus nanite reward = nr of species * 250

[remote thunder]

yep, if you started expedition character from an existing character

[royal jetty]

I will get it automatically?

[remote thunder]

no, for the additional bonus you have to press that extra button in the fauna discoveries view

[royal jetty]

Wow 13 I got over 3k

[royal jetty]

What is the command to see what I should buy on the minotaur?

[cold valley]

!faqminotaur

[remote thunder]

in terms of tech research for minotaur?

[royal jetty]

yes

[remote thunder]

my first one is always radar array, then laser, cannon

[royal jetty]

I have to thake the inventory slots If I leave I will lose them right?

the reward

[low jackal]

iirc no

you get an expansion item if you cancel

[toxic finch]

Can I still get the ship from the expedition if I haven’t completed the starbirth quest

[royal jetty]

There is a Redacted Planet anything special on it?

[cunning sandal]

I have a question if after you finish the expedition do you not see Purple stars anymore. Even if you made bases there ?

I was wondering that

Do you get all your bases And things still there ?

I hope all our bases and stuff don't disappear ?

Because I know the purple stars are new and stuff so I didn't know if they would disappear or not.

[toxic finch]

Do I keep everything I got from the expedition when I finish it

All the materials and stuff

[low jackal]

no

You can send some of them back if you started with an existing save

[quaint urchin]

If you started the Expedition at the Terminal in the Anomaly from an existing save that has not completed 'In Stellar Multitudes', you will lose access to the Purple systems when you finish and end the Expedition.

If you started a New save to begin the Expedition you will retain access to Purple systems.

[cunning sandal]

ty

[quaint urchin]

If you started a New save you do. If you started at the Terminal in the Anomaly from an existing save you have to transfer what you want to keep back to your primary save using the terminal where you started.

Anything you don't transfer via that Terminal will be converted to Units or Nanites as appropriate.

Also, if you started from an Existing save at the end you can load and transfer items back via the terminal multiple times. Load Terminal> Save> Options Menu 'Return to primary save'> Unload terminal, copy Ship/Multi-tool> Save> Visit Terminal 'Resume Expedition'> Load Terminal> Change Active Ship/Multi-tool> Save> 'Return to primary save' (Repeat as needed).

[toxic finch]

Damn prolly should’ve done that

[cunning sandal]

My first time through I started on a save at the terminal from an older save. & It disappeared after. But the second time I started the game I started from a brand new save. So I was wondering if it was going to disappear or not too. You answered my question so I know what to do now👍 ty @quaint urchin

So everybody that doesn't have access to the purple systems yet I would start on a brand new save so you could have access to them👍

It's worth it just from the new metals alone

How can i get Atlantideum? while going to rendezous point in my ship it doesnt have it i need 200 of it

[copper thorn]

planets with dissonance, you find it as purple crystals to mine. also the sentinels there will drop it from combat

[royal jetty]

If I went back to my main save to do 'In Stellar Multitudes', before I end the expidition will I get the purple stars?

[remote thunder]

basically, any character you complete that quest in will have access to purple stars after completion

[terse blaze]

Not for me. When I went back to my main save after completing the expedition, it returned to the mid-mission stage of progress. I probably have a few more steps to complete mission for unlocking purple systems.

[frozen laurel]

It is an item stack in your inventory now.

[royal jetty]

Don't judge the clutter. I don't see it?

[frozen laurel]

Check the other inventories (ship, freighter). Also there are sort functions on the left side. Or scroll down.

[royal jetty]

Ahh that weird it is in my ship but it is out of range

Can I use this on my main save?

or is it bound to the expedition?

[royal jetty]

I finished all 5 phases. It said I can earn nanites or quicksilver based on what I did should I do more stuff or what?

[quaint urchin]

Also, any items you don't transfer back to your primary save via the Terminal will be converted to Units or Nanites as appropriate.

[rugged sail]

30,000 nanites per bounty?

they had it reversed 💀

Imagine 35k nanites from a waypoint

[remote thunder]

that was a small mistake on our part at first (swapped column names at the top), i wasn't aware that someone had grabbed a outdated version. ty @frozen laurel , @blissful onyx

just double checked, the relevant image linked by faq-expedition/finishing an expedition post is up to date and correct

[blissful onyx]

oh ok no problem lol

[quaint urchin]

Thanks! I appreciate you letting me know I had the wrong one. I'm up to date now.

[frozen laurel]

No worries, could you also remove the other one so others don't get confused too

[quaint urchin]

Done, thanks again!

[remote thunder]

thank you all for always helping out when you can! cc @frozen laurel , @blissful onyx for you as well

[quaint urchin]

Love the game so much, it's an honor to help my fellow Travellers when I can. I also know you can't always respond, but when you do I'm watching and learning!

[steady skiff]

Im having the hardest time finding a water world for this expedition, I’m currently doing the third phase

Any tips on finding them?

I can only either find purple systems with gas giants, or ones labeled dissonant.

[remote thunder]

rendezous 2 planet

goto discoveries, waypoint Haporin

[steady skiff]

Ohh I forgot about that one! Thank you!

[royal jetty]

is there an easier way to gain exp?

[steady skiff]

Ooh I should totally recruit a lot of frigates

That’s like, an average of 4 million units for 2000 nanites, not bad

[royal jetty]

You only get nanites for reqruiting frigates?

[remote thunder]

there's other things too

[royal jetty]

you can get quicksilver too

how do I see hm I can get?

[remote thunder]

quicksilver? nexus quicksilver missions you complete in expedition, quicksilver from milestones

[steady skiff]

What’s exp?

[remote thunder]

exp? either "experience" (in the discord server i assume), or expedition

[steady skiff]

The image you sent said I can get nanites or quicksilver for the total amount of exp

I just haven’t seen an exp meter or anything while playing

[remote thunder]

no, it just says that about quicksilver specifically, and "exp" refers to "expedition", the expedition you just did

iow, whatever amount of quicksilver you obtained/amassed during your expedition playthrough

[steady skiff]

Oh okay! Thanks

[royal jetty]

besides the obvious like finishing the expedition and getting stuff ready to move over what else should I do before I end it?

[quaint urchin]

If you are not in a hurry, you can wait until the weekend and double dip the Weekend Nexus mission by doing it in your primary save as well as the Expedition save. Go to the Anomaly and create a Restore Point by getting out of your ship. Then use the Options Menu to 'Return to primary save'. Go to the Nexus and accept the mission and take notes on what is required. When you turn in the mission you will receive the rewards and the 1800 Quicksilver for completing it. Now hop in and out of your ship to create another Restore Point, go to the Terminal where you started the Expedition, and select 'Resume Expedition'. Now you can complete the weekend Nexus mission again for another 1800 Quicksilver. When you end the Expedition that extra 1800 Quicksilver will transfer back to your primary save along with all of the other currencies you've earned. There are 2 more weekends you can do this for the current expedition. That's 3600 Quicksilver per weekend for a total of 7200.

Once I beat the expedition, If I create a new game will it have the potential to gain access to the deep oceans and stuff that the expedition had?

[fringe agate]

Only if you used a new save for the expedition, that will convert to normal and have that ability

[twilit turret]

so the deep ocean stars are only going to be available for the duration of the expeditions?

[fringe agate]

No, there is another method to unlock them - an end game quest

[twilit turret]

ok, that is fine, and I can do that on a new save though eventually right?

[fringe agate]

Yep

[twilit turret]

ok, thanks, also, while I got cha here, can i delete all these expedition saves that I have? I have an Omega, Voyagers.. and now this one..

[fringe agate]

Yes, they will auto convert to normal saves if you load them as the expeditions are over

Make sure you finish the expedition by claiming all phase rewards so they will be available to any and all of your other saves

[wraith junco]

Some players keep expedition saves for the unique expedition blueprints and items. Like the elixirs in cursed exp. But they dont affect main gane much. They are just mementos/collectors items for hoarder players like me

This has to be one of the dumbest expeditions I’ve ever done tbh.

[wanton frigate]

If the north pole taught me anything, it's that any expedition you finish with the same number of toes you started with is a good expedition!

(if you finish with more... We told you not to drink the water!)

[faint compass]

Yeah I give up. I forgot to bring stuff and now I can’t do that. Freakin dumb.

[wanton frigate]

Don't worry, bringing stuff is a perk, not a necessity. You don't need to bring stuff to finish it, it just saves a little bit of admin while you're in there. Nanites for bringing in a tool or ship would be the big ones, and at this stage you'll easily find a Mold base or farm. Bear with it, get your squidgy ship and magic stick!

So, just finished the expedition, I notice you can bring back 8 tech & 24 items.

My question, on the ship and weapon it has various s tier upgrades equipped, do these also remain when going back to the main save or do you lose these and should be put into the expedition terminal?

As there's also only 8 slots and more s tier upgrades, was thinking it would carry across? (Couldn't find the answer on a quick discord search.)

[late kiln]

Does anyone know why I can't get these light panels to snap consistently across my ceiling? The gaps aren't consistent even, it seems completely random.

[knotty marsh]

Have you enabled free placement by any chance?

[late kiln]

Nope, snapping is on. I toggled the option just to be sure!

[knotty marsh]

Yeah, the building system is weird like that sometimes, you'll probably get more info at #nms-base-building

try asking your question there

[late kiln]

Thanks very much!

I didn't realise I was in the Expedition channel..... that's on me!

[shy dagger]

Wait, could i play offline?

[quaint urchin]

The tech inventory for the multitool and ship copies, but the regular cargo inventory for the ship does not. So, when you copy your ship those S-Class modules will copy too.

Also, if you started from an Existing save at the end you can load and transfer items back via the terminal multiple times. Load Terminal> Save> Options Menu 'Return to primary save'> Unload terminal, copy Ship/Multi-tool> Save> Visit Terminal 'Resume Expedition'> Load Terminal> Change Active Ship/Multi-tool> Save> 'Return to primary save' (Repeat as needed).

[fickle night]

how to get this last animal? i've been at the north, hopping lake from lake, still havent found it xd

[remote thunder]

try deeper vs shallower waters - remember that hopping out of the water and walking a fair distance away, then reentering that same water body will respawn fauna, could do that to abuse the mechanic a bit. also remember that not all animals spawn at the same time after you arrive/your game starts/finishes loading an area

[fickle night]

thankyouuu

[shy dagger]

Even the expedition?

[remote thunder]

sure, after you've been able to start an expedition character you could even play it completely offline, as long as there's no community research milestone(s) (exp17 doesn't have any of those)

[tall vector]

About this, "They who returned" appeared to me and I didn't complete "Atlas Path". I finished Artemis' questline, though.

[remote thunder]

atlas path isnt a requirement for they who returned start, but it is a requirement for in stellar multitudes start

[royal jetty]

is there a command on how to unlock different backpacks?

[remote thunder]

iirc: image is missing surveyor's cape from exp17, aquarius flight pack from exp15, and chitin flight pack from exp14

[placid turtle]

Is there anyone still in the expedition that can take me to rendezvous 3? Early in the expedition the game glitched and gave me all the rendezvous milestones. Now I need to take the picture but idk where the planet is. Since I’ve never been to the system I cannot access them through teleporter.

[remote thunder]

see this post: <#nms-expedition message>; has glyph addresses for each of the rendezvous systems; you could request a taxi from PGSC, or try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades , or even try checking out anomaly teleporter

[royal jetty]

They are in my Exo Suit. I am trying to put them in the Expedition Depositterminal. I have open slots and, I have already put some things in the terminal.

[summer geyser]

does anyone have tips for the expedition photo mission?

#2 refuses to work

[remote thunder]

these need to go into the tech inventory

[remote thunder]

try to disable multiplayer, save, close game completely, launch again, then retry

[royal jetty]

So I can't transfer them?

I guess I will just sell them for the nanites than

[quaint urchin]

There are 8 slots at the top and that is where these items would go.

The 24 other slots are for regular inventory.

So, click on one of the top 8 slots and these modules should be available (if you have some open slots there).

Also, if you started from an Existing save at the end you can load and transfer items back via the terminal multiple times. Load Terminal> Save> Options Menu 'Return to primary save'> Unload terminal, copy Ship/Multi-tool> Save> Visit Terminal 'Resume Expedition'> Load Terminal> Change Active Ship/Multi-tool> Save> 'Return to primary save' (Repeat as needed).

Here's a picture in case it helps:

Tech modules can only go in the Technology section.

[royal jetty]

How do you guys know so much?

[quaint urchin]

1500 hours playing the game on Xbox and PC (Steam). 🤣

[royal jetty]

What do you do after all that time?

Here are my inventory...

Here is what I am thinking about takeing back

So I was wondering what else should I take? Ps I hope it ok to ask this here

[remote thunder]

i'd probably analyze <see image> instead of bringing it back - it often drops nanites, or some resource which you can always get more of; bringing the high value craftables e.g. iridesite and the salvaged glass might not be a bad idea, likewise for launch fuel stack and the pirate transponders for mercenary guild standing donation if you're not at max with them yet

[sleek talon]

bit of an odd question, but has anyone found the rare underwater south only creature on planet Tisug 24/B5?

it's the only one left for that planet

I'm wondering if I can dip into surface pools for it or if I need to find a way down into the deeper sections

[remote thunder]

yeah, that's what i normally also think of doing - not getting much luck on shallow water i just tried for like 5min? try a deeper water body

[sleek talon]

kk will do

thanks!

[royal jetty]

I figued that I would just leave the high value items as they will get turned into units or nanites?

[remote thunder]

yep, that will work too, but not for the salvaged glass (would be best to unpack it)

[sleek talon]

nope no joy, this planet doesn't like me 😦

[remote thunder]

yeah, last species can take a while sometimes

[sleek talon]

water in the south is very sparse and shallow :/

[remote thunder]

inhabited system? try using nautilon to scan for buildings

[sleek talon]

how would buildings help?

also I hate the lack of decent maps in this game.

[remote thunder]

normally in deeper areas

[sleek talon]

oh underwater ones?

yeah the water isn't deep enough to deploy the nautilion

and it seems every time I leave the planet to re-enter it somewhere else I always seem to end up at the same point on the discovery page :/

[remote thunder]

nevermind the discoveries page

look at coordinates - but dont' even need that - goto space, pulse drive away from the planet for a bit then turn back around; where's the biggest water body you can see?

[sleek talon]

oh like you get pretty planets to look at

I just get a mess of shapes that are meaningless until I get close enough

I'm on Xbox Series X

what I think is water turns out to be trees

[remote thunder]

that can happen sometimes even on pc, tbh

but

i see your point

for example, caves can sometimes have water

sometimes deep enough for fish to spawn in

[sleek talon]

None of that blue is water 🙂

[remote thunder]

yeah, i've seen this happen, precisely with frozen biome moons with water

I'm just going to have to talk autism brain down and go find another thing to scan 😄

[remote thunder]

yeah, if you're going for zoology, planets with 1-6 will probably be easier, and probably best to try a different system later on, unless you're still doing children of giants

[sleek talon]

I just got the 90k one by random

so that's nice

does wheat show up on the list of what the planet has?

ffs

and why can't you use the locate option?

ugh this game is so infuriating

[remote thunder]

heptaploid wheat exists on every planet - well, some waterworld biome planets might not have any because no land (and dead biome ofc)

wait also not on dead

[sleek talon]

okay thanks 🙂

[remote thunder]

lots of criteria to remember sometimes lol

[sleek talon]

seems so!

glad you're here 😄

[sleek talon]

how do I get poop from animals? I fed them pellets

[cursive marsh]

feed them

then wait for poop

[sleek talon]

does it just appear on the floor?

[cursive marsh]

nah it does like a spinning animation where it spins to space and u gotta go get it urself

it floats at like 200 u/s so u gotta get fast

[remote thunder]

Yes

[sleek talon]

I'm guessing I need some sort of food processor to make wheat and yeast?

[spark dock]

I am doing the expedition for the first time with a friend. We got some cool building blueprints. On my main these are not available. When the expedition ends will my main get the blueprints and materials?

[raw ruin]

A lot you can redeem for at the Space Anomaly in exchange for Salvaged Data

[spark dock]

Is that the quicksilver vendor?

[raw ruin]

No, it's the construction terminal in that little hub where the upgrades are.

[spark dock]

Let me see if i can find that

[remote thunder]

build the nutrient processor portable base part on a planet

[raw ruin]

It'll be between the Exosuit upgrades and Starship upgrades.

[spark dock]

You mean upstairs right?

[raw ruin]

Yeah

[spark dock]

Sadly no

They are ruin parts if that makes sense

[remote thunder]

The ruined parts set? Nope. Per character unlock, random drop from memory stones on ruined worlds

[spark dock]

Could i make them on mt alt, give them to my friend and he gives it back to my main?

[raw ruin]

Ah, in that case, you need to visit a ruined world and interract with the memory stones.

[remote thunder]

That wouldn't unlock the blueprints (and the parts themselves aren't pickups either)

[spark dock]

So my main needs to unlock too. Okay ill have to find a ruined world then

[raw ruin]

Just be aware of special planet names (not the one the game gives you, it'll be something that'll note a ruined planet), an example of this would be "Claimed by Decay",

[spark dock]

I dont think i found one of those planets yet

[raw ruin]

Iirc, they are only found in the purple systems

[spark dock]

Ohhh yeah no, not there yet lol

[royal jetty]

what can I do now while I wait for the end?

[remote thunder]

you dont necessarily need to wait - you can just finish your expedition

[royal jetty]

someone said to wait for the weekend quick silver

[remote thunder]

oh, i see, yeah you could ofc, and do the dailies you can, remember that daily qs missions can change objectives (can wait for an easier one) every 10min

[royal jetty]

what do you mean daily ?

[remote thunder]

we can do 1 400 quicksilver mission per day, which stacks up to 3 if we login but skip doing them

you could also save, and return to primary in the meantime ofc

[royal jetty]

how do I go back to main I just see end expedition

[remote thunder]

pause/options/return to primary

you could then even go to expedition terminus and grab your stuff into primary and save

and yeah, repeat this

[royal jetty]

you are a walking enclyclapedia @remote thunder

Is there anything you don't know about this game?

[remote thunder]

sure 🙂 😅

quite a lot!

[royal jetty]

How do I get this ship?

[remote thunder]

that's boundary herald, exp16 reward; depending on platform, can get one gifted by another player, save edit, #nms-modding

[royal jetty]

The Only thing I added was the aqua jets so I guess there is no point to bring it to my main save I get the new ship automatically on main right?

[remote thunder]

the wraith? will just have to claim it from the quicksilver shop, or copy it back

[frozen laurel]

You only get to claim it once from the QS terminal. You can bring it back to keep that option.

[royal jetty]

I admit I was talking about two ships

I took my ship over should I copy it back?

[remote thunder]

if you did any inventory upgrades on it, yeah, sure

[royal jetty]

just the aqua jets but they are unlocked in main

[remote thunder]

then you don't need to; scrap it in expedition character, equip wraith, bring back stuff

[royal jetty]

I just captured a pirate Freighter

[remote thunder]

wont be able to merge it back in, if you're in expedition character

[royal jetty]

I have this mission on the anomoly

so what is it?

[woeful wyvern]

basically, mission (task) unknown; supposedly rewards are better to compensate

revealed once u start the mission

[royal jetty]

I guess they are not too bad right?

[woeful wyvern]

yeah, if youre fine with doing any mission

[royal jetty]

I remember I wanted a walker brain a while back what are they used for?

[woeful wyvern]

crafting explosive drones for frigate expeditions and installing/repairing the conflict scanner

thats all the uses i can think of rn

[lethal lintel]

Does any1 know what the next expeditions gonna be

So what it the obvious reason to why can't I access it?

I know it says it is enabled or does that not incude the storage containers?

[misty plinth]

Outside the system the freighter is in the storage containers cannot be accessed. Only the main hold is useable from anywhere.

[remote thunder]

all good, we got there in the end with everyone still friends hehe 🙂

[sleek talon]

ugh why can't you scan and pick stuff up in the nautilus??

a big message pops up when you're deep underwater saying "hey you better have a nautilus to be safe down here" and yet you still have to hop out to scan and pick stuff up

makes no sense to me

[jagged sedge]

If you'd like to stay in the nautilon, you could install the 'tethys beam' to mine resources

[sleek talon]

I have the tethys beam

[jagged sedge]

Won't help with scanning tho

[sleek talon]

but that doesn't tell me where the sea glass is

also I've now found some sea glass behind some ground. Does the tethys beam also do the job of a terrain manipulator?

[jagged sedge]

After installing the 'high power sonar' you can press the scan button and the sea glass spots will be indicated by a yellow crystal icon

tethys beam is similar to a mining beam

[sleek talon]

well that scan helped

still can't get the sea glass without getting out though...

[jagged sedge]

Only need to get out for a moment tho

[sleek talon]

true, but honestly you shouldn't need to get out at all

[jagged sedge]

I'm sure the devs didn't want to make it too easy, lol

[sleek talon]

not impressed

[jagged sedge]

I still prefer going deep with a vehicle, instead of trying to swim there

[sleek talon]

I prefer the vehicle. I just don't like getting out. Or if I do have to get out, why is my life force draining so fast even though I've got the Pressure Membrane equipped?

now i'm stuck because i'm out of power and there's no salt nearby :/

[random quiver]

I'm trying to craft lubricant, but i don't have the recipe for it, anyone know where i can unlock it?

[crystal tundra]

Space anomoly for 250 nanites

[random quiver]

Thank you

[sleek talon]

I believe it's also a reward from 'Divergent Evolution'

[remote thunder]

what are you having difficulty with? which milestone are you trying to do atm?

[sleek flower]

Hi, does anyone know what expeditions will be repeated after Titan?

[wintry void]

All the ones from this year, ie January to December 2025 in December.

[low jackal]

titan is new
not repeated

after titan we will probably get 2 to 3 more brand new expeditions this year

then a rerun near the end of 2025

[rocky prairie]

i just started the expediton and it seems none of the moons have copper any ideas?

[hollow prism]

Why do you need copper for?

@rocky prairie

[rocky prairie]

For chromatic metal, so I can warp

[hollow prism]

You can mine quartzite and refine them to chromatic metal

[rocky prairie]

Oh whattt I never knew that

[hollow prism]

The instructions are in the pin tho

[rocky prairie]

I didn’t see any it just says go to another system

[hollow prism]

Yea, stellar materials (e.g. emeril, indium and quartzite) can be alternatives to copper.

The expedition starts you in a purple system

[rocky prairie]

Oh okay I’m like supppper new and don’t know anything

[quaint urchin]

No worries, I feel like HG could have updated the tool tip for Chromatic Metal to include the new stellar metals they added that can make it. Activated Quartzite works too...

I gave them feedback so hopefully they will update it soon.

[quaint urchin]

Also, for the new folks... In this Expedition your Starship has a Rocket Launcher installed that can be Dismantled for 100 Copper. This will refine into 50 Chromatic Metal, which is enough to make 2 Antimatter. https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Rocket_Launcher#Crafting

[wraith junco]

[hazy sparrow]

Look for the Haporin system, it's a purple iirc.

[remote thunder]

waypoint it from discoveries list for example

[hazy sparrow]

Speaking of which, I'm there now on Adtow, and > 50 of the bases seem to be underwater. I get close to one and it says "Off World". What gives? Are they on the bottom of the ocean? Even the rendezvous point said it was deep, but triggered as soon as I jumped in the water.

[remote thunder]

hmm, or on another planet that's across the system?

[hazy sparrow]

I had that problem on the previous system, one base and comm bubbles that appear to be underground. I took a portal to one base and indeed it rendered way underground to me. I did not start having this issue until I started the expedition.

[hazy sparrow]

No, I know what that looks like, these are waypoints straight down. And some start off normal then say "off world" when I get close but are on an island so I can actually land on them. Verify file integrity didn't seem to find anything.

[hazy sparrow]

How do you pick up the floating nautilon platform? It won't give me the prompt...

[hazy sparrow]

So AGAIN I build a second nautilon platform, and AGAIN it won't let me pick it back up!

I'm starting to think something has gone bugged with my game. 😦

[wraith junco]

Delete it From building mode

[hazy sparrow]

That worked, got me the mats back so I can rebuild one at least.

[obtuse field]

Hey everyone, I just joined this group. I started the expedition yesterday after giving up a few times because of constantly being stuck in tornadoes lol. I already have phase 1 almost done along with a few from different phases. My problem sofar, is not being able to find the rendezvous points so I can complete those along with the pictures. That and my graves, when i get to them, nothing happens. Thank you guys for the advice I have read on other issues. You guys are great!!

Also, thank you in advance to anyone who answers my question.

[misty plinth]

I did not see a question but you can refer to the pinned messages (above) that have a great deal of useful information to help you complete the expedition.

System and planetary information should be there for easy reference.

[obtuse field]

silly me, sorry i stated the question as the problem i was having lol. so sorry, youre right lol

[remote thunder]

My problem sofar, is not being able to find the rendezvous points so I can complete those along with the pictures.
this, right?

[obtuse field]

indeed it is 🙂

[remote thunder]

what happened - completed respective reach rendezvous milestone, but forgot to take the pic? or did you get the glitch that auto completed unfinished reach rendezvous milestones, even from phases ahead?

[obtuse field]

the problem from what I can tell, is that I cant even find the rendezvous points to begin with. I pinned it like I have seen others do but it did not help them become noticeable.

[remote thunder]

okay, so - expedition tab in the pause menu, phases on the left side; what's the last reach rendezvous milestone you completed and claimed? (these should always be done in order, or iow per phase)

[obtuse field]

thats right, umm so i completed all of phase 1 except for finding that spot and then taking the picture with it. So i assumed if im having issues now then the other 4( i think 4) will be a problem for me too.

in its entirety, the locations of them is the problem of finding them, if that makes better sense.

[remote thunder]

okay so, reach rendezvous 1 milestone. do you have that milestone selected? what system are you in? can you post a screenshot of the galaxy map with the Expedition Route destination selected at the top?

rendezvous 1 is about this much away from the starter system

[obtuse field]

i did pin it, but it didnt do anything like normally you get icons when you pin. oh wow I didnt even see it when i went to the galaxy map. I left the tornado gas planet but couldnt find that point to complete phase 1

the funny part is that i have like 150 hrs in total of this game and yet it still finds ways to make me feel stupid looool

[remote thunder]

@obtuse field the expedition route destination pathline, the green one, should always guide you - note that when you enter free look mode, the galaxy map automatically switches to free explore destination, but you can switch it back to "expedition route" afterwards again

see it faintly here?

now, ofc, you don't necessarily have to warp system to system on the pathline

(hyperdrive a or s-class modules will help a lot with expedition system travelling)

[obtuse field]

oh wow, that is so helpful!! thank you so much. maybe I'm doing something wrong. I did see part of what you showed me. I did see the lines and dotted lines but no icons attached other than seeing that it was already visited. I thought I did something wrong so i went back to that tornado gas planet that i started on.

[remote thunder]

and ofc, that big yellow icon is telling us, rendezvous system here

[remote thunder]

reopen galaxy map, and post a screenshot if you can, or if you can voice chat+stream, i can easily guide you

[obtuse field]

ok, fair warning i have never done it before so i apologize in advance lol

the stream part

[remote thunder]

you'll be fine i think?

[obtuse field]

lol i will cross my fingers and i will be back with the screenshot

[remote thunder]

go for it

[obtuse field]

brb

[remote thunder]

you should be in Skatae atm

(expedition route pathline gets fainter, yep)

most importantly, is to locate rendezvous 1 icon - expand info panel if you need confirmation

[obtuse field]

okies, thank you so much

[remote thunder]

here, see <image>? (expanded info panel, rendezvous 1 milestone iow "mission")

(since i didn't have the hyperdrive range needed to make it there in one warp from the starter system, i had to do like 3 or 4 warps to actually get within range)

[obtuse field]

luckily i screenshot it when i first started a few weeks ago. this is what i have sofar

[remote thunder]

looks awesome, they have such a crazy atmosphere 😄

[obtuse field]

ikr, i gave up a few weeks ago because I couldnt get out of the tornado lol. everytime i would, i would get sucked back into another one lol. if i used my brain, i wouldve thought outside the box. Yesterday when i started up again, i just used my terrain manip and would make holes until they were away from me.

ok, thats what i just screenshot a moment ago. and wow, that time it did give me the location but its apparently too far so im not sure how to get over there.

[remote thunder]

you

1. look at space station ship upgrade module shops to buy a/s class hyperdrive modules, 1 or 2 would do - to increase your warp range and warp fuel efficiency, allowing you to do bigger leaps trying to get to your destination iow less warps needed to get to a destination
2. you do multiple, smaller distance warps till you get there

@obtuse field here's an example of how more range can be useful. in this screenshot, i'm in rendezvous 2 - and i've upgraded my range - i can instantly warp, with a single warp, to rendezvous 3

(see how it's ~350LY away, and i don't get an error saying Out of warp range?)

(as long as i have enough fuel for 1 warp, i could make it there without needing multiple smaller warps to cover the same distance)

and that was enough for the entire expedition

all this so that "if i can see my target system, i can free-look and get closer to it (using WASD keys) and warp to it in one go, no hopping needed"

2. i'd suggest using PGSC to get taxied to those systems - type !starcablink in #bot-spam , join that server, and submit a taxi request to a specific glyph address, expedition mode. you could also try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades , but probably best to go with the first alternative.

[paper minnow]

[remote thunder]

oh sorry i missed this. well, it didn't do anything, but you were able to interact with it? it's been quite a while since i've died in game, and i dont think i've ever died again without retrieving my grave of the previous death. did you perhaps die more than once?

[obtuse field]

it was odd, the marker was stuck in like the air and I stood under it but nothing happened.

also, this is where im at currently with things

[remote thunder]

still plenty of time left to finish, did good progress it seems!

[remote thunder]

stuck in the air.. hmm, did you die on a planet?

on foot? or flying ship?

(do you have pvp set to no one in network settings?)

[hazy sparrow]

Is anyone else running in to the issue of comm stations and bases being under the terrain? I'm getting many of them in the 2nd Rend. system

[woeful wyvern]

bases being buried is pretty normal, it happens when the base was built into existing terrain and the terrain regenerated. comm balls is odd though, only way ik that could happen is placing them in artificial holes

[hazy sparrow]

I've been playing long enough to know the difference between a buried base and one that is 231m below the surface with no cave access. And that many of them on one planet? No, something weird is going on with my game.

[woeful wyvern]

oh, i didn’t know it was to that extent. yeah that is very weird

[hazy sparrow]

Is there any way to mark a comm station that you've already been to? This planet has 20 of them yet somehow I keep bouncing between the same 3.

[main cairn]

Which planet?

[hazy sparrow]

Adtow and Recamier Alpha, in the Haporin system, rendezvous two. On Adtow I figured it was just a lot of bases on the bottom of the ocean, but I'm got a lot of "off world" messages at intermediate distances on both planets.

Is there a trick to finding water on a gas giant?
Edit: NM, looked for a low area with nothing growing on it and indeed it was a small pond.

[low horizon]

can I exit the expedition and then continue where I left off?

[hazy sparrow]

Yes, through the anomaly expedition terminal you started at. If you are on a different save you can load between them at will.

[torpid idol]

I've been searching for 5 hours straight for a Water-World and still haven't found it, And that was just within the last 24 hours the other day I was also searching for a decent amount of hours and still to no avail. HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
(Screaming from the cosmos).

[cold tulip]

Rdv 2 planet is aquatic

[torpid idol]

@cold tulip But does it go 1,001u?

[fallow inlet]

Even further in some places.

[torpid idol]

@fallow inlet Do you remember the name of the space station where the rendezvous 2 is located?

[fallow inlet]

No space station in that system. But the system is haporin. And adtow is the planet name.

[torpid idol]

@fallow inlet oh ok Thank you so much

[fallow inlet]

You're welcome

[neat meteor]

So uh I'm stuck on the last part of phase two... I landed at the rendezvous 2 (or so it told me) and when I'm taking screenshots I don't progress

[royal jetty]

Someone told me earilier how I can do weekend bonus qs on main and expedition but I lost it

[remote thunder]

simply run mission with both characters; with expedition character, then save, pause/options/return to primary, run mission with primary character, save, resume expedition

[cerulean delta]

11 days......

[hazy sparrow]

Yeah, the Rendezvous 2 point (planet Aptow, Haporin system) messed me up also, said is was 300m below me in the water, but I got credit as soon as I jumped in the water. Once I had gotten credit for that I was able to take a picture and get credit for that as well.

Somebody on that planet has a base called "1200m Disco" or something like that. If you can't get the depth on your own (with the nautilon) you can try portaling to that base.

A hint I missed, after summoning the nautilon, DECONSTRUCT the platform to place it again elsewhere. I was trying to pick it up and you cannot.

[steel cloud]

does anyone know where i can fish on a gas planet

[fallow inlet]

Starting planet

[steel cloud]

i tried

[hazy sparrow]

Rendezvous 3 I think, I made a base called Gas Giant Fishing Hole. Darn, forgot to put a teleport circle there...fly low and look for low areas with nothhing in them, it's probably water.

[remote thunder]

latitude+longitude provided if you can't find a base in the station teleporter that says "fishing"

[steel cloud]

i found it on toletho omega

[remote thunder]

the teleporter isn't required, as long as you uploaded the base (up to 24h for replication might be needed)

[steel cloud]

now im doing quantum bedrock

[hazy sparrow]

Yep, uploaded it last night, so may not have propogated yet. But you're right, people will still be able to teleport there.

[steel cloud]

this mission should be easy

[hazy sparrow]

The fishing one? It is, every fish I caught was a gas giant custom, so you only need to catch 4, no bait required.
Edit: oh, you meant Quantum Bedrock

[steel cloud]

and the mission is done

oh i just need two bones and the rendezvous stuff and this phase is done

Ok bones where

[remote thunder]

rdv5 planet has bones

can just skip the bones milestone till you get there

[steel cloud]

im going to a moon in the start system right now

[remote thunder]

that's okay, any planet or moon with ancient bones, it's just that skipping the milestone and just doing it in rdv5 would save you time - not having to teleport back, you're still going to need to land on rdv5 planet later, which also has bones

[steel cloud]

idk where rdv5 is soo

[remote thunder]

you will have to get there eventually, it's a milestone in phase 5

the game will lead you there when you do that milestone, unless you already have completed it

in that case, you've got the system name and planet name, and also the subname that shows rendezvous number in a teleporter destination list

[steel cloud]

ill just use my ship

i made loads of hypercores

I only needed one warp

Its almost time for the final phase now

[warm latch]

tornado searching 0/10 rn

[remote thunder]

disable multiplayer, try starter planet instead of rendezvous 3

[steel cloud]

hehe i got the wraith

i thought the final phase woukd be like

one more quest

but no

[remote thunder]

correct 😉

[steel cloud]

wait..

i made a copy of the wraith and my starship

THEY WERE FREE

wait im reloading a save

oh

well its not that bad

only 2k nanites

[remote thunder]

(copying in primary character always costs nanites unless options/difficulty/purchases=free, basically shows a cost but wont actually cost any)

[steel cloud]

what does the void egg do

and should i get it with my quciksilver

[remote thunder]

triggers the starbirth quest aka the living ship quest; the wraith is a living ship as well

[steel cloud]

s it better or worse than the wraith

or are you gonna say something like it depends on preference

[remote thunder]

not a matter of better or worse; both are of the same type

that would depend on other things too

[steel cloud]

but like the gear they come with and whatever

[remote thunder]

more so the supercharged slot layout, which varies from ship to ship

[warm latch]

wait, if i claim the pillar of the titan on this expedition character, am i still able to get it on my main?

[steel cloud]

yes

you can clone it with nanites or get it free at quicksilver synthesis, which i just learnt

[grave lodge]

Do y’all think they’ll release expedition 18 after this or you think they’ll let us do a redux expedition

[steel cloud]

chat should i buy one of the special quicksilver helmets

[remote thunder]

reduxes only happen at the end of the year

[remote thunder]

probably best to take that kind of topic to #no-mans-sky 🙂

[steel cloud]

oh yeah

[wheat cloak]

Is there a list of recommended items to bring on the expedition?

[remote thunder]

the basics ( see #nms-expedition message ), +1 lubricant: instead of something to refine to nanites, for example could bring sus packets tech/arms to unpack+sell modules for nanites

[molten pagoda]

Can I have some help? I can’t find the rendezvous planet and have been searching for a while.

[misty plinth]

Did you check the pinned messages above? Should be easy to match the system and planet to the phase you are in.

[molten pagoda]

The pinned messages aren’t any help because I don’t have the system mapped.

[wanton fern]

have you ever been to any rendezvou

[molten pagoda]

I can’t access the rendezvous mission because it was completed before I could even get to the location

All of them have been completed without me actually being on the planet.

[wanton fern]

did you get the phase rewards for them then?

[molten pagoda]

I need to take a photo of the planet but the rendezvous mission was completed and I don’t know which system it’s in

[misty plinth]

Assuming you want to reach them for the photo part, I would think each system should show up in the discoveries list.

[molten pagoda]

I looked through my visited systems but the system isn’t there because I never went to it

[misty plinth]

#nms-expedition message

[wanton fern]

can't you just click on the photo mission and it will guide you to the planet

[molten pagoda]

I had found a portal but I don’t have any of the glyphs

[misty plinth]

Check the discoveries list and look for the system name then you can mark it as a travel destination. If it definately is not in the discoveries list of visited systems for you then you will probably need to buddy up with someone to take you to them.

[molten pagoda]

Okay

[molten pagoda]

I’m trying to make some buddies to see if they might help me

Sure

did you save+close game+relaunch on Adtow, rdv2 planet itself - then retried to use nautilon/quick menu/scan/crashed freighters?

[signal heath]

so my partner and i are trying to do expedition 17 and messed up. we scrapped our starting ships with the atlantid drives after getting our regular mode ships and now can't warp to purples. we do have the bp to build another but i'm not sure the least painful way to get the materials. i think i already have the indium but need atlantideum and living glass from somewhere. where can we get those quickly?

[remote thunder]

do you have access to anomaly?

ah yes, nvm

[signal heath]

yes

[remote thunder]

ofc you do

uhm

so

[rocky prairie]

how do i leave an expeditio? i joined on my main save to check things out

[remote thunder]

@signal heath synthesis laboratory, unlock living glass and components

[remote thunder]

save, pause/options/return to primary

[rocky prairie]

oh sweet thanks

[remote thunder]

@signal heath you'll have to obtain the gamma root - non-space station pilots often sell some - and you could then use catalog&guide to locate a planet with more, or refine more using a medium/personal refiner mk2

[signal heath]

i think we picked up extra gamma root actually cool

thanks so much

[remote thunder]

atlantideum can be found on any dissonant planet - if you don't know how to spot those, let us know

[cunning sandal]

theres a big bug at the anomaly on Xbox series X were i cant get any of my past Past expedition rewards. I've turned it in like four times. I've ated them on twitter. I've heard nothing from them about it can somebody please send another thing. This bug has been going on for like a month or so sence Then brand new Worlds part 2 thing dropped.

And yes it started when the expedition started too so it is an expedition question

More like out of frustration

[remote thunder]

sorry that's happening 🫂

can somebody please send another thing
sorry, "thing"? i assume you mean the bug report link?

[cunning sandal]

I was thinking if somebody else can send one too because I've sent multiple ones in and nothing's happend & yes bug Bug reports

It screwed up my expedition . And then when I go to play on any other mode I can't get of my expedition stuff either

[remote thunder]

well tbh, i wont send one since i'm not affected. i can certainly give others the heads up, if someone else drops by with the same issue,

do you cross save, i.e. are in the cross save beta program?

[cunning sandal]

Nope just regular saves on Xbox Series X

The game was fine before world's part two dropped

Ever since that dropped and they started the next expedition my game is being glitched or I cannot get any of my expedition awards

[remote thunder]

yeah, i'll definitely keep an eye on, and when i see someone with that issue, i'll surely ask them to raise a bug report, don't you worry about that

[cunning sandal]

Yeah I've been sending in multiple bug requests I tagged them on X multiple times. I haven't seen anything get done I'm so frustrated cuz I love this game and I want to play it but it's broke like extremely broke When you go into the anomaly I've completed almost every expedition in all of them says I don't have it and I'm like I do have it cuz I played all of them

I even have screenshots

That proves what I'm talking about

That I'm not just BSing

[remote thunder]

well, just have to be patient, i'm confident they're aware of these things, but they must get lots of reports too, so it probably takes time

[cunning sandal]

My screenshots are even up on x

[cunning sandal]

If you would like me to send my screenshots on discord so in a private Im I can show you too

[remote thunder]

no, i believe you traveler 🙂

[cunning sandal]

Yeah this is like my favorite game & the anomaly is so broke and I'm frustrated. I've been talking about this for a month

[cunning sandal]

thank you very much

[remote thunder]

sorry you're going through a rough time with this, but be confident, they'll fix it

[cunning sandal]

Yeah it's kind of frustrating when you've been given out bug reports tagging them on X and actually having to go to other people too. Like it literally says I don't have any of the stuff and I've been playing no man's sky since it started lol

In the dark ages days when no man's sky was Very rough

lol

[obtuse field]

@remote thunder this is because of you!!

[remote thunder]

yooo! congrats, you did it! well, not because of me, you did all the leg work!

[obtuse field]

[obtuse field]

absolutely, and I shall pay it forward if I can ever help with anything.

[remote thunder]

you'll be a pro at it in no time, you'll see!

[obtuse field]

The funny part is I had 150 hrs before the expedition, and yet still found myself noobing hard lol

well, 150 is nothing compared to some.

[remote thunder]

well, some have been playing for years, so

it's not unusual to see veterans with thousands of hours

[obtuse field]

oh absolutely. I started a few months ago.

[remote thunder]

see? you're hooked lol

have fun 🙂

[obtuse field]

You as well 🙂

[iron tendon]

I lost track of where I placed the nautilon summoning bay. Is there any way to find?

[remote thunder]

will just have to build another one i'm afraid; locating the other one would basically be wasting time, better to put that time into getting the mats to build another.

[iron tendon]

All good, thanks

[mint coyote]

question
how do i get back to the planet route? fore some reason every rendezwou milestone got completed out of nowhere so i dont know where to go practically beeing lost in space
what do i do now?

way point to the last hello games star i visited doesnt work i see no route

[remote thunder]

you're going to have to get taxied to the rendezvous systems. see this post <#nms-expedition message> for rendezvous system and planet names.

[remote thunder]

were you affected by the glitch that completed all rendezvous milestones without getting there? see my reply above to @mint coyote

not hard, especially if you've already played worlds part 2 content (purple star systems)

also, check pinned posts here 🙂

[finite owl]

Is it hard due to me not having played the new stuff?

[frozen laurel]

No, it's still the normal game mechanics. Just some new nuanced things like refining quartzite for chromatic metal and helium into ferrite.

The tips in the pins will help you.

[copper ravine]

How are people catching scrat and putting it at their base?

[wraith junco]

U can pin scanned fauna to wonders and u can display it with wonder projector

[hazy sparrow]

This is the easiest, quickest expedition I think they've done, mostly because the fishing part isn't a time grind; I think all fish caught on a gas giant are gas giant specific.

The only trick was finding a pool of water. Fly low and look for a depressed area with nothing growing in it - it's probably a pond. I put up a fishing hole base at the rendezvous 3 or 4 gas giant, it should show up in the list of bases you can portal to.

[finite owl]

I see, thanks for explaining

[hazy sparrow]

I found a base that alread had a colossus exocraft station at it, all I had to do was summon, get in, and out to complete that objective.

Many dissonant planets but I never found a S class interceptor, just a couple of As. Anyone have any better luck? The first planet with a couple B class haulers sell for 36 mil each.

[vestal spruce]

On Switch the sunken freighter is not available

Tried to restart an reload several times

[remote thunder]

okay so, to not waste more time - skip the fathoms below/sunken freighter milestone for now, you don't have to complete it on this planet. later on, there will be other planets where you'll be able to easily find a sunken freighter. for example, rendezvous 5 planet, that you'll have to visit anyway, is such a planet: can just complete fathoms below there.

[vestal spruce]

Thx, will try thie milestone later

[hazy sparrow]

Did you install the radar? Also, did you get out of the nautilon and use the terminal? Just swimming to it isn't enough.

[remote thunder]

seems that building didn't spawn

[dusky whale]

Has anyone found the sunken freighter?

[hazy sparrow]

Yes. On the first water world, Adtow, once I installed the radar on the nautilon I pinged and located a sunken freighter. I went down (the one I got was very deep), got out of the nautilon and used the freighter terminal to complete the objective.
Note you will probably want to have the depth resistance modules installed on your exosuit to do this.
Edited to clarify the planet name.

[dusky whale]

The planet is Adtow?

It seems so

[wintry void]

i just went to a regular planet with water

[hazy sparrow]

Correct, it can be done on any water world. Find a sunken freighter is a common objective in most Expeditions. Since you are on two water worlds for two rendezvous, no need to go out of your way, but it doesn't matter where you get it.

Cheers lad

[polar dragon]

So i figured one part of my issue. My buddy gave me a Hyaline Brain but the next issue I'm having is finding a Monolith, any tips? (Still new to the game)

[remote thunder]

what is it that you're trying to do?

[polar dragon]

You have to purify it at a Monolith

[remote thunder]

1. every single interceptor ship, by design, has the hyaline brain you'd need - so i don't understand why your friend had to give you one

2. it will not let you probe subconscious if you 2a) didn't purge the ship, 2b) don't have 3 shards and 1 inverted mirror and 2c) the right mission selected in the Log

[polar dragon]

So, instead of answering you're going to argue, okay, ignoring and waiting for a real answer.

[remote thunder]

arguing?

lol

i'm explaining what you need

[polar dragon]

Bruh can't even spell arguing correctly lol

[remote thunder]

but if that's arguing to you..

[remote thunder]

non english natives can make mistakes too, or not?

i see.

like i said

to probe subconcious, to get the hyaline brain to mark a monolith, you need 1 inverted mirror, 3 shards - once it does, you'll have 2 interceptor icons on your HUD - one of them is the crashed ship, the other the monolith you need to go to

[oblique fjord]

no need to be an asshole the guy’s trying to help you

[polar dragon]

Could of answered the question first. All that was asked. Once someone else is an ass, it is reciprocated. Have a good day.

[remote thunder]

i simply asked what you were trying to do - if that upset you so much, i'm sorry.

have a nice day too.

[oblique fjord]

[oblique fjord]

[outer sinew]

jeez, we can go so deep underwater now. only issue is how long it takes to surface lol. the nautiluon isnt known for its speed

[spark dock]

I was happy when I found out I can turn my nautiron purple haha

[eternal cedar]

bk isn't arguing, they're one of the most helpful people I've ever seen in any online community ever

[spark dock]

Guys is it worth to do the expedition twice?

[eternal cedar]

Wait they left over that?

Dear lord

[eternal cedar]

Are you boosting and looking up whilst doing it?

The boost got a massive speed buff, its afaik the fastest exocraft overall now by a very very large margin.

[outer sinew]

Why not? you get extra quicksilver looks like, and you can complete it however you like.

[eternal cedar]

If you want lots of qs wait for the weekend mission and you get like 1200 ish

[spark dock]

What happens if I start it, but don't finish it in time?

Will I be portalled back or stay on the planet I happen to end up on?

in?

[wraith junco]

Exp will end .Your save will convert to normal mode. Unclaimed rewards will be gone

[spark dock]

ah right, thats not too bad 🙂 thanks!

[hidden torrent]

Are the base stats for the wraith ship better than normal living ships?

The design is cool but I don’t know if I’m interested in making it my main ship after completing the expedition if it’s not significantly better than normal ones

[misty plinth]

Out of the box if your SC slots are favorably placed it's a pretty decent ship

Free to try it out in the expedition before closing it out.

[hidden torrent]

That’s something I’m definitely planning on doing. Thanks!

[jagged sedge]

I found a big empty area also - I was tempted to build a base there, called 'Sike!' ... but I did not

[raw ruin]

I think there is a button that allows you to elevate steadily, and if you point upward, you can surface faster.

[lone depot]

can anyone hellp me and give me some pointers to get indium drive??

im a litte too far from a blue planet but i need indium

[raw ruin]

Idt it's needed for the expedition, the Atlandid drive can cover all possible systems, including the purple ones

[lone depot]

alright then i need to get that.

[raw ruin]

The ship you start with for the Expedition comes pre-installed with one, unless you traded that in for a different ship.

[lone depot]

yeah i traded my ship not knowing it wasnt going to transfer lmaoo now i dont know hahha

[raw ruin]

Ah, then kind of work your way up Copper (red systems)->Cadmium (green systems)->Emeril (blue systems) -> Indium (purple systems)

[lone depot]

yeah i got copper but i need to figure out the most efficiant way to get to each planet right now. im still getting the hang of this game theres a lot lmaoo

[raw ruin]

Where are you on the Expedition?

The Cadmium drive does require copper, and that gives access to red systems. Then it kind of works it way up, so for an Indium drive, you need Emeril, which requires access to green systems (requires the Emeril drive, which requires Cadmium).

[prime plover]

Hey everyone.
Currently starting the expedition why am I having so much trouble finding Tessya

[raw ruin]

I'm guessing you're on the moon part?

[prime plover]

Yes

[lone depot]

im on phase 2 but im not really sure where i am right now

[raw ruin]

The strategy I used was to warp to the Space Station, or warp towards a random direction AWAY from the giant. It helped me find the moons that I was missing.

[prime plover]

It wouldn't be so hard if so many bases were on the planets and I could actually read what the planet's name was

[raw ruin]

Lol yes. There's so many bases

I hope there isn't a litany of Comm Stations

[lone depot]

i just unloack my candium drive but it still wont let me get there without indium drive but i dont have it unlocked

how do i unlock indium drive???

[woeful wyvern]

blueprint is in the space anomaly

did your atlantid drive get damaged?

[granite ermine]

I’m also trying to get to 3 and need to repair Atlantid drive. How do I get the indium if I don’t have the indium drive? Or do I need to go through and rebuild the other drives?

find outlaw station and buy repair kits, trust me it repairs any damaged requirement

if it needs 3 dif items

buy 3 repair kits

[granite ermine]

Ooooo good call. Let me try that

[fair parcel]

i had the same problem as you😭😭 space pirates man

[granite ermine]

Is there a way to tell if it’s an outlaw system from the tp portal?

[fair parcel]

if you have an economy scanner

[granite ermine]

I swear there were pirates everywhere I went

[fair parcel]

it will show a little skull

next to one of the icons

i think the middle one

but yes if youre on the galaxy map

it will have a little skull, you need an economy scanner or conflict scanner installed on your ship

[copper ravine]

Am I supposed to collect the eggs from those scorpion things outside outposts?

[granite ermine]

I wish I knew what system I was just in. Is there a way to tell where I came from?

[remote thunder]

when you look at your teleporter list, using a non-outlaw station teleporter, all outlaw stations will "have clearance not granted" message (note the name, goto a planet base teleporter, teleport to that same station); furthermore, when you click on a station on the list, the next screen will show you eco data: if it says "black market", then it is an outlaw system.

[fair parcel]

space station portal

[remote thunder]

if they teleported out of that system using the station, or had visited it before

[granite ermine]

I didn’t unfortunately. I left using my ship

[remote thunder]

then unless it's a rendezvous system, you shouldnt count on it being on the teleporter

before leaving, always quickly visit the station of the current system if you want to teleport back soon

you're trying to get 3 repair kits, is that it?

like King Envy hinted at, the eco scanner will make finding an outlaw system in the galaxy map possible

can type !faq-outlawsystem in #bot-spam to get a visual

[granite ermine]

Yeah my atlantid drive got damaged :/

[remote thunder]

there's no milestone to loot whispering eggs, but there is a milestone for nanite amassing (but there's also other less risky ways to get nanites)

[remote thunder]

if you got access to anomaly, and some practice on the galaxy map, finding an outlaw system wont take long

i suggest using the lifeform filter instead of the default filter, that way you can be sure to ignore all white star systems - those will be uncharted, no race icon, can't ever be outlaw, those always have a race icon (gek, korvax, vykeen) and a skull instead of 1-3 stars on eco tier.

[granite ermine]

How do I get the eco scanner? Do I just have to check different space stations to find one for sale?

Oh yeah I got the anomaly

[remote thunder]

no, in the space anomaly

yep

starship research npc in the back room, across the hall from nada and polo's balcony

[granite ermine]

I forget about that sometimes lol

[remote thunder]

then you'll need 5 microps and 1 loom - easy

install it

open galaxy map, locate nearest outlaw system

[worldly sluice]

I started the expedition yesterday and found a sentinel fighter. It's only a class B but boy it has 28 tech slots

[granite ermine]

I just got it installed, how do I locate the outlaw system in the galaxy map?

[remote thunder]

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> Finding Outlaw Systems

Requires Economy Scanner OR Conflict Scanner installed on your active ship. If using a Living ship, the Wormhole Brain. When using the Freighter Galaxy Map, the Interstellar Scanner tech is required.

In the galaxy map, look for systems with a small pirate skull left of the Economy type icon and identified as Black Market, or with Conflict level set to Pirate Controlled.

[remote thunder]

nice, don't forget to take the atlantid drive from the starter ship! small clarification: there's only 1 sentinel ship type - there are no sub variants of the sentinel ship type, it's all looks basically, they're all sentinels

[worldly sluice]

and yeah I was moving some tech and glad I found the atlantid drive, I didn't know there was one

[remote thunder]

atlantid drive is the newest hyperdrive tech, in line with cadmium/emeril/indium drive, atlantid allows warping to all of those, + to the new purple star systems - which this expedition makes plenty use of

[worldly sluice]

so I don't need the other drives? cool

[remote thunder]

in non-expedition saves, we need to complete the latest quest to access+reveal purple star systems

[worldly sluice]

any new quests?

to be honest one of my misgivings is the very short main story quest. I love story quests as opposed to really open-ended gameplay

I would pay for DLC with some of that

[remote thunder]

worlds part 2 update added another quest, yes, called in stellar multitudes; and yeah, after the main storyline there's been multiple secondary quests added, as well as a recent rework of the atlas path "end" state

[worldly sluice]

I didn't know about the atlas one. Last time I played I reached the center of the galaxy, I thought that was it

[granite ermine]

How common are the outlaw systems? I’ve looked through like 30 around me and not found one yet

[remote thunder]

i mean, they're common enough - there's probably at least 1 per region

remember that galaxy map goes up/down/left/right/back/forward

[granite ermine]

Aha I found one!

So for the repair kits, is there just someone in the station here that will sell them?

[remote thunder]

talk to contraband agent npc, sitting left of the bountymaster (inside the hauler ship make shift booth)

[granite ermine]

What if he doesn’t have a repair kit? O_o

[remote thunder]

contraband agent? you sure he doesn't? he's got multiple pages to scroll through

[granite ermine]

It’s just called “repair kit”?

[remote thunder]

yep

[granite ermine]

Yeah he doesn’t have it rip

Lots of suspicious packets tho

[remote thunder]

okay so, alternatives:

[granite ermine]

Time to find another? lol

[remote thunder]

1. buy a few sus packets goods from contraband agent, enter and exit ship, then unpack sus packets goods; if you dont get repair kits, then reload restore point save slot, and reopen
2. find another outlaw station

@granite ermine side note: buying sus packets tech/arms with units, unpacking, selling x-class modules that dropped for nanites is a unit>nanites sink that can yield massive nanites in a short amount of time.

[granite ermine]

Oh good to know for my main save

Do I need the storm crystals or sea glass anymore? I only have phase 4 left to do

[remote thunder]

sell

[granite ermine]

Might need to sell them for the sue packets

[remote thunder]

(storm crystals can be used for warp hypercore crafting)

[granite ermine]

Ah maybe I’ll hold onto those for now then

How many sus packets do I need to buy to get the store to reload?

[remote thunder]

sell a few maybe? keep the rest

[remote thunder]

afaik, save+reload will restock contraband agent now

[granite ermine]

Sweet I got 2 repair kits so far so looking good

[remote thunder]

ok so now that you're on your way there, see the next post:

Repair Kit can be obtained from multiple sources (e.g. Contraband Agent npc in Outlaw stations, Mission Boards, Scrap Dealer, Autophage Synthesis terminals), and is applied to damaged sub-components.

1. Cursor over the damaged tech or slot, and press Repair
2. Cursor over the damaged sub-component and press Apply Repair Kit.

Woooo got all 3 we are back in business!

Thanks for the help 😄

[sonic oak]

Anyone know how to repair Atlanid Drive in expedition? Need Indium and Living Glass, but i don't think i can craft Living Glass

[quaint urchin]

You can purchase the blueprint for Living Glass in the Space Anomaly. You can also visit a Pirate System and purchase Repair Kits.

[sonic oak]

I don't know what or where those are, I only start playing the game recently in expedition mode. Which one is easier to find?

[quaint urchin]

It might be easier to summon the Space Anomaly and purchase the blueprint in the back room. Here's a map:

Item 14 is the terminal for purchasing this blueprint.

Oh yea, here's the link to the Repair Kits so you can learn about them if you want to: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Repair_Kit

[somber remnant]
