The no man's sky expedition finishing theme sounds like the black ops 2 theme

This has come to me in my trying to sleep thoughts

[outer sinew]

i love the eeriness of the quest music

[alpine wave]

Just completed expedition on my main save. It overwrote my 250+ hour save with all the content of the expedition. Submitted zendesk report but if anyone else has suggestions please let me know. Playing on xbox.

[austere meteor]

Menu > options > Return to Primary Save

Don't worry, your save isn't lost.

[alpine wave]

Spoke to someone else who suggested this. Option isnt there. Its gone entirely. No ability to load manual save either. Also unavailable.

I talked about it over in #nms-questions if you wanna read the specifics. Dont wanna put too much in this channel.

[raw ruin]

Space anomaly through nanites, but you need the Emeril Drive first before the indium drive, as the Emeril drive gives you access to blue systems, which gives you the Indium required to craft the Atlandid drive

[keen ember]

hope the guy who built this base is unable to sleep tonight, fucker put their base on top of 2 natural burial sites

[raw ruin]

Well, that's gotta be annoying!

[keen ember]

i wish disabling multiplayer let you disable seeing other players' bases

[raw ruin]

Or better yet, if you knew your base had natural burial sites nearby, allow the edit permissions to be more universal, since you are going to have other players that will dig around.

[keen ember]

yeah

but alas, it's no man's sky, I can find other burial sites

[remote thunder]

going completely offline would accomplish that

[keen ember]

unless you jump through a couple hoops, you cant play gamepass pc no man's sky without internet

[remote thunder]

launch game, unplug internet

[keen ember]

i wouldnt be surprised if doing that triggers smth in the gamepass app, im sure it would work but is it rlly worth it over some virtual bones

[remote thunder]

yep, just a suggestion/alternative

[keen ember]

i'll prob give it a go if I ever need to

[wheat cloak]

Do I keep my Multi-Tool or get a different one when I start the expedition? Just wondering how it works, as I will be starting from Abandoned mode, and thinking of bringing Multi-Tool and Ship expansion slots with me to finally put them to use.

[raw ruin]

You get a new multi-tool when you start the expedition, but you can copy one over from the Expedition Terminal from a pre-existing save, but since this is Abandoned mode we're talking about here, you won't be able to access the Anomaly and you have to start a new save.

[floral palm]

Aye now is the expedition still going on or has it ended?

[floral palm]

Aye thanks mate 😊 👍

[wheat cloak]

Wait a sec. I thought that people on Abandoned Mode use the expedition to get the purple drive. Is it that when starting the expedition in Abandoned mode, I am suddenly cut off from the anomaly?

[raw ruin]

You don't get access to the Anomaly until after the first phase in most saves. If it's in Abandoned Mode, you don't get access to anything cause it's abandoned.

[wheat cloak]

I have access to it o.0

It's weird to see only staffs jigging around.

Honestly, I have no idea WHEN I got access to it, but it was just there in my selection thing.

[copper ravine]

My friend is working on the current expedition. I completed mine when it first dropped. Am I able to load back in and help him?

[misty plinth]

If you closed out the expedition completely then no you cannot return on that particular save. You can join in with another save if you have one and would like.

[copper ravine]

Ok thank you

[quaint urchin]

This is not accurate. You do get access to the Abandoned Anomaly after your first warp in Abandoned Mode. I started the Expedition myself from an Abandoned save and I've already copied a fully upgraded Exotic Ship and the Titan multitool back to my Abandoned save.

At this point I'm just holding out for the weekend Nexus mission before I finish the Expedition.

Oh yea, I also claimed the Starborn Runner and Atlas Staff from the absent Quicksilver NPC in the Space Anomaly and copied those into the Expedition with me.

Both have been fully upgraded as well. I already scrapped the abandoned save Atlas Staff so I could copy the upgraded one back to my Abandoned save too.

[quaint urchin]

You can start from Abandoned mode just fine as long as you've warped once and have access to the Abandoned Space Anomaly. You will start the Expedition as if it were a brand new save with the exception you will have the basic equipment and tech needed specifically to get you started. Once you've repaired your ship, gone into space, and completed your first warp you will be able to summon the Anomaly in the Expedition. Then you can copy in your ship and multitool from the Abandoned save, upgrade them using the Expedition resources, and then copy them back at the end. I did this myself on PC (Steam) and it works very well. You just have to get rid of the originals before you copy your copies back to your primary 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).

[dim grove]

does the next expedition usually start immediately after the current one ends or will we have to wait?

[remote thunder]

we'll probably have to wait, but we don't have any info on the next one

[dim grove]

shucks thank you

do you think they might plug in a redux while we wait?

[weary wadi]

Hey I’m starting the expedition what should I bring in to it? I have no limit on what I currently have.

[remote thunder]

nah, reduxes always happen at the end ofthe year

[remote thunder]

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

[weary wadi]

Will do thanks for the info!

[raw ruin]

I think about two weeks should be the wait time between expeditions, cause after the expedition, they develop another one that is just filler stuff while they develop the big update during the summer.

[remote thunder]

see this image:

make sure game is fully up to date ofc

for this expedition, the only uncharted system where it will work (after save on the rdv2 planet+close game completely+relaunch) to scan for a sunken freighter is adtow rdv2 planet. that said, you can skip that milestone for now, and complete it in rendezvous 5 planet.

also, having multiplayer disabled is recommended

I noticed it because Ammy is one of my nicknames in other places. (And also, I play Okami.)

How’s everyone else doing with their Expedition?

[cunning sandal]

Xbox series X No man's sky is so broke right now with the Space anomaly I wish they would fix it. I've sent in multiple tickets I tag them on X everything. I can't get any of my expedition stuff. Or the stuff I paid for When you do space missions on the anomaly. I feel your pain

That's the only thing that's broke on Xbox series X is the space anomaly everything else works.

And what's messed up is the space anomaly is a big part of the game

[alpine wave]

@cunning sandal heres hoping it eventually gets seen but im not holding my breath.

[cunning sandal]

its been more then a month. i talked about it till im blue in the face on x & here & other places trying to see if they would fix it for a month or more

Anyone need expidtion help?

[fleet kestrel]

Hey can we obtain reward from older expedition ?

i'd like to get some reward from expedition 12

[wraith junco]

Cant. Only by mods/save edit/service bot or wait for expedition reruns that might include the past rewards.

[fleet kestrel]

noooooooooo

Why can't we choose the expedition we want to do

Oh that's intresting, but is this legit ?

I do, now autophalange very shwifty

[grim fossil]

It’s a third party application so obviously not HG endorsed, but it’s not something HG cares if you do or would reprimand you for.

If you are interested in it. Just do some research so you familiarise yourself with it, ask questions in that same channel if you get stuck there are plenty of peeps to help and make backups.

How do I find water on gas giants?

Nvm found some in a crevase

[raw ruin]

There is also a ton of bases in the starting system and the Fourth Rendezvous system that are near lakes on gas giants.

i said i already found some

[raw ruin]

Ik,

[obtuse shoal]

guys

how can i get nanites in expedition 17?

im only missin it to end it

[remote thunder]

several ways:

• zoology on planets with 1-6 fauna
• upload discoveries
• refining e.g. radiant shards, runaway mold
• selling upgrade modules you dont need for nanites
• buy sus packets tech/arms from outlaw station system, unpack and sell modules for nanites
• fishing and releasing fish to the water

[obtuse shoal]

im about to finish the expedition 17

how can i send my new multitool to main save?

and ships

[remote thunder]

basically:

• equip ship and MT you want to copy
• save (enter+exit ship)
• pause/options/return to primary
• goto expedition terminus, copy ship and multitool
• resume expedition, change gear, save, repeat process

[obtuse shoal]

cant i get my tech slots from expedition?

mine on expedition is way bigger than the normal one

[low horizon]

hi. once I reach the last rendezvous...is there any reason for that place? or just reach it collect reward and leave?

[low horizon]

do I do this twice to port over the expedition rewards AND my main MT and ship I copied from my main save?

[quaint urchin]

You can basically do it as many times as you want to.

I don't believe it will let you copy the same ship/multitool back unless you put the originals in storage or scrap them.

It will tell you on the Terminal if the game thinks they already exist.

[hazy sparrow]

You can copy over multiple copies of the same multitool, I think. Having multiple copies of copied-over event-specific ships, however, can corrupt save files (this happened to some with the Starborn Runner, my favorite ship that I still run today), though copying one then claiming one from the vendor is okay. ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR SAVES before starting and ending an expedition!

I am a huge advocate of keeping multiple backups of save files.

[quaint urchin]

I just tried this with the multitool I took into Titan from my Abandoned save. The terminal said I had already copied the Multitool until I scrapped the original. Then it let me copy it back.

[hazy sparrow]

Oh yeah, you are right, sorry, I misspoke. You can copy multiple times, but only have one "copy" at a time. The claim from the vendor does not count against the unique id.

[low horizon]

so the multitool and ship from my main save that I copied into the expedition are technically still on my main save so I won't need to copy them back right?

[hazy sparrow]

Correct, you are truly copying them, they are a duplicate, with all equipment but for the ship nothing in inventory

Since most expeditions give a ship nowadays, at the end I strip the good modules out of my cloned ship and put them in the new ship. As a matter of fact, that's what I'm doing to the found interceptor I like right now.

And again, I back up my save before doing this, in case I muck something up, though usually restoring from the restore point gets me out of most mistakes.

[ocean garnet]

Unable to find a crashed underwater freighter wherever I go

[jagged sedge]

Be sure you're searching in an occupied system, much more likely there

[worldly lichen]

Can someone help me please

[onyx lodge]

with what

[pale walrus]

What is the ship / major rewards in titan? want to know if it’s worth smashing through for

[wraith junco]

Rewards are in pins

Imo its worth it. Ship, mt, cape and few other things. And its not a hard/long expedition.

[cunning pumice]

When's next expo coming any ideas ?

[wraith junco]

We dont know.

We can only spaculate

[fickle night]

if it's bugged, can restart the game, it happened to my friend also

[remote thunder]

remember to check the pinned posts

[sweet oyster]

guys is expedition 17 still going on?

[nova sable]

yes.

7 days I believe

[sweet oyster]

yay, im not too late

[young notch]

i see there’s a pinned thing to find the gas giant fish but how would one have found that without just random chance

did i miss something obvious again

[nova sable]

Look for armoured clams icon on your visor lol

Clam means water

[young notch]

sure but that’s still just hoping you end up within a reasonable distance of that when you land there initially, no?

[nova sable]

Also pretty sure rendezvous 3 has water on it

[nova sable]

If not just walk around ffs

[prisma tundra]

and starter planet

[nova sable]

You don’t have the fishing rig unlocked at the starting planet do you

[nova sable]

Or even fly to a different part of the planet

[prisma tundra]

technically no, but once I unlock anomaly, I can buy it for few nanites, or I copy my multi-tool with a fishing rig

[nova sable]

You literally just spawned in

Yeah ONCE

But you don’t have access to the anomaly when you can’t even fly your ship don’t you

Also no one will warp back to the starting planet since the location marker is gone

Plus gas giants are not that rare

[prisma tundra]

yeah, and I can teleport back after that, it's not a big deal if you're far enough into the expedition to be doing fishing, you can go back to starter planet

[prisma tundra]

no it's not, there's an abandoned space station, you can warp back easily

[nova sable]

Who even does that bruh

[prisma tundra]

me

[nova sable]

[prisma tundra]

anyway....

[nova sable]

[prisma tundra]

I'm not sure if this goes here or nms help, but I'm done with the expedition, and last night was trying to go back to my main save & end the expedition but certain materials (for example, quartzite, lithium, crystallized helium, etc) are still unable to be sent back as they're marked as "mission critical items", I know it's a bug cause other people on reddit mentioned it near the start of this expedition, but it still hasn't been fixed since, I would place a proper bug report but I figured I'd check here in case someone found a solution work-around already

[nova sable]

Report it to hello game

Not the expedition chat

[prisma tundra]

fair enough

[young notch]

maybe i did for a while on a different gas planet and didn’t find anything and that’s why im asking?

[low horizon]

I found a base conveniently named something like "gas giant fishing". I can send you the coordinates for the expedition (it's in one of the rendezvous systems)

[young notch]

sure, i’m not too many jumps away from the 3rd rendezvous iirc but doesn’t hurt to have more stuff to look at

i can check after work

[quaint urchin]

I just used the Terrain Manipulator and dug a hole until I hit water. Then I started fishing. I was on the Gas Giant in the 3rd Rendezvous system.

[young notch]

that

is a pretty silly idea but makes sense somehow

[quaint urchin]

Lol, I had a screen shot too.

[young notch]

most of the time i am playing pretty tired and there’s usually time between when i get to sit down and play so thinking of that isn’t even on my radar 😂

[cyan solstice]

I'm having problem finding sea glass (sea grass?)

[young notch]

aquatic planet

one of the rendezvous planets you can just dive down after you have nautiloid and it’s there at the bottom

[cyan solstice]

Ok thank you

[remote thunder]

@cyan solstice rendezvous 2 planet, Adtow (Haporin system)

[cyan solstice]

Dang I just left that planet. 😅😅😅 I'm on rendezvous 3 gas giant right now. Lol

[remote thunder]

should be able to either see it and warp to it directly via galaxy map, or just waypoint its system using discoveries list and then open galaxy map

[cyan solstice]

Okie doke

I'll get it in a bit.

Thank you!!

[remote thunder]

all good 🙂 anything else just ask

[prisma tundra]

Oh yeah, that’s what I used too

[vocal fox]

I saw an armoured clam where it didn't make sense. Dug down and found a nice, safe fishing hole. xD Filled my tunnel back in so nobody would fall in.

[haughty lava]

How do I find fishing places on a gas giant?

[wraith junco]

Any body of water will work even 1.0 deep puddle

U can dig to find water and fish there

[prisma tundra]

there's often bases titled "gas giant fishing" or something similar, but like galaxy said, any body of water

also speaking of water, the pins recommend using the nautilon for water stuff (fathoms below & crush zone especially) but I just... didn't, I technically did use it to find the sunken frieghter, but I swam down to it & to 1001u just on my own, using life support gel & oxygen to make sure I survive

[wild sinew]

Anyone have a few repair kits. I just started playing the game and my Atlantis drive got smashed.

[prisma tundra]

I do have a few I was planning on bringing back to my primary save soon, how many do you need?

[wild sinew]

3. My Atlantis drive broke helping civilians.

Or living glass, atantideum and indium to fix.

[prisma tundra]

I don't have indium (but could acquire it), I do have atlantideum but idk if it's enough, and I do have the ability make living glass if necessary, but I also have some repair kits, are you able to get to the anomaly to perhaps see about joining a group for easier communication?

[wild sinew]

Sure. I can get to anomaly

There now.

[prisma tundra]

ok lemme see if I can find you or if we need friend codes

[wild sinew]

PS5

[prisma tundra]

hmm, yeah I think we might need friend codes, let's go to DMs if that's ok

[low horizon]

did you find it?

[young notch]

i was just looking through the planets i’ve been to and i can’t find it 🤔

what’s the system for rendezvous 3

[prisma tundra]

pretty sure rendezvous 3 is uninhabited so no space station

[young notch]

o

it would still be in the visited systems list no?

[prisma tundra]

it should be, yes, but the gas giant fishing base I remember was starter planet in Skatae system

[young notch]

i guess i’ll just go to that one

also as a side note i did dig down on the gas planet i was on and there was no water around where i had landed

annoying

[low horizon]

It is on the red gas planet:

It is the rendezvous 3 system.

use the teleporter to travel to that system's station > exit the system and face the planet. It is off to the right:

There is also another base on the lower left:

[young notch]

i got it figured out but ty

[warm frigate]

What’s the best planet to get paraffinium

[prisma tundra]

ah ok, it was rendezvous 2 that's uninhabited then

[prisma tundra]

I got mine from the moons of the gas giant systems

[rocky prairie]

anyone know how to do the crush zone misson planet i keep going everywhere and wasting time

[prisma tundra]

the ones I was thinking of are these (the last one I couldn't actually get to but I know I was at sometime)

[prisma tundra]

the same recommended planet for sunken frieghter, Adtow, has deep water, but you need to find a place where the sea floor is marked at 800-900 already, then find a tunnel/passage that goes a bit deeper, that's what I did, and it happened to be right near the sunken freighter, as in the freighter was at 800 sea floor, then over a small ledge beyond it got me into 900s, then a passage got me past the necessary point for the goal

[quaint urchin]

For the next time you need something specific:

The Wiki is pretty awesome! https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Paraffinium#Source

[wraith junco]

any lush planet should have paraffinium

[ocean garnet]

Finally completed the expedition!

Never had a living ship before, wow

[dim barn]

LS are nice, super cheap to fuel, but they handle rough

[runic rivet]

anyone still doing the Titan exppedition?

can you send me the coordinates of the planet/system where you find the Huge bugs? I believe it was one of the planets we need to go during the expedition

[young notch]

i think the 2nd rendezvous had flying things that are worth a lot right around where you take the picture

[pallid totem]

Hey guys
Just need some help
So I’m doing the expedition on my ps5 and I just want to know how do I complete the take a picture part

[raw ruin]

I own a PS5 myself, it is VERY specific to how the game wants you to take a photo. Don't hold the SHARE button, that will not count. What you have to do is press the SHARE button and take the photo from there in the game's photo mode, then it will count the milestone.

[pallid totem]

Thx it worked

[prisma tundra]

I don’t remember a planet like that tbh

[obtuse jungle]

For a change i tried playing on a mac. Never used a portal since it will crash everytime. Also disabled antialiasing since it crashes after some time.

Otherwise everything’s fine, the worlds update was really cool and the expedition itself, finally finished it

Oh we need the titan role on #roles

[spice solar]

I’ve almost completed all of the Titan expedition. All I’ve got to do left is fish on the giant planet and go to rendezvous 4 and 5. I spent the last 3 hours looking for somewhere to fish at rendezvous 1 and haven’t found the smallest puddle. Could i have the coordinates of a fishing hole please?

[prisma tundra]

That might only happen after it’s over completely

[cold tulip]

It wont sadly

No more exp roles 😦

[hollow fern]

Aaaaaaah I finished phase 1 and I only have a weekend to play it

[wanton fern]

the exp can be done in only a few hours

[stray carbon]

I did it in 3 play sessions as a semi newbie, also theres a bunch of bases people placed that did some of the work for you to just collect certain farms or materials

The least intuitive part was looking for a sunken freighter on a different planet than the reandevouz world but most of rhe tasks can be figured out without too much time lost

[hollow fern]

Hmmm the only thing is, last time I couldnt take a picture of the rendez vous points on xbox. i hope that bug has been fixed by now so i can complete it!

[novel osprey]

How much time, average, does it take to do the Titan Expedition?

Oh so I have plenty of time, I can cruise through it without worry.

Been so busy, haven't been able to start it.

[stray carbon]

Cross posting here, as someone whos gotten up to Ghosts in rhe Machine on the Artemis path so far...

Question about playing the normal game after the expedition,

Theres a ton of high end tech, a ship, and just, oodles of rewards... I want to bring some stuff and reward my main save for taking the time out to play it, but Im worried about how much the purple drive, the 150mil units and just a bunch of things might just ruin the game progression.

Any advice on what to take to feel cool, or leave behind not to ruin everything?

[young notch]

should be able to dig down in most spots and find water apparently

there’s also a couple bases for fishing if you spot them

[atomic estuary]

150mil isn't really that much and it's not like you got it out of thin air, you earned it

Re: purple drive
You can bring it with you back but I don't think it will help much as purple systems should remain invisible. You still didn't unlock them on the primary save.

does the next expedition come right after this current one ends, or is there some time before another one comes?

[sweet oyster]

is there a trick to finding underwater freighters?

i feel like ive been driving around for ever

(using the under water radar)

[remote thunder]

<image>

[sweet oyster]

ty

[hazy sparrow]

Yes, you should have gotten a sonar to go in your nautilon, one of it's scan options is crashed freighters.

...and now I read the post above lol.

[sleek island]

Press x and the radar options should pop up.

I didn't have any problems finding a sunken freighter on Re-2 planet, but it's probably because I started after the patch.

[hazy sparrow]

same

[keen summit]

Can i only take the stuff from thexpidition when it ends

[hazy sparrow]

When you complete the expedition, but before you return to your main save, you can transfer back 24 items and 8 technology extractions or stacks. It doesn't matter where they come from. It could be stuff you bought while on the expedition, it could be stuff you carried over from your main save but never used. I liked the engines from the explorer I started with, so I salvaged them off and carried them back.

You can also transfer back the current multi-tool you are holding and ship you have out when you actually end the expedition, so make sure you have out what you want to copy back.

And as always I recommend backing up your save files before doing this so you can restore if you make a mistake.

[remote thunder]

(could also abuse the mechanic, if needing more than 8+24)

[keen summit]

Is this only the first time you transfer back to your main save

[hazy sparrow]

No, as bk said you can RETURN to your main save without ending the expedition and transfer back as much stuff as you want. As long as you don't go off exploring and doing other stuff, you should not experience any problems.

[stray carbon]

The expedition terminal, on my ongoing expedition save, has locked out boxes, do I have to wait until the end to send stuff back to my main save? (There is a warning not to click end expedition until after your done transferring stuff but idk when I can start transferring stuff)

[hazy sparrow]

Interesting, back on board the anomaly after ending the expedition, there are some new exocraft recipes for unlock.

[stray carbon]

And it doesnt say end expedition yet either

[hazy sparrow]

Correct, once you are on the expedition, you can take stuff out but not put it back in. Once you complete the expedition but don't end it, it's then you can put stuff back in to send back to your main save.

[stray carbon]

Do I have to wait for the last day or what button do I push to complete it but not end it?

Iirc i collected all the rewards

[hazy sparrow]

We need multitool backup storage like they added for ships. I'm accumulating quite the collection of expedition multitools.

[wraith junco]

We already have it

Weapon rack base part now acts as mt storage

[hazy sparrow]

Wow, did not know that, just saw that, that's awesome!

[stray carbon]

Pass on the dinosuar tooth blaster

[hazy sparrow]

AFAIK once you complete all 5 stages you complete the final stage which claims the Wraith ship. At that point you can start copying stuff back.

[remote thunder]

that would mean that you haven't claimed all milestones, phase rewards and final expedition reward

[stray carbon]

I claimed the wraith ship already, ill have to double check

[hazy sparrow]

Can this part be mounted on a freighter base? I've got the weapons guy console on my freighter, but there's no rack.

[remote thunder]

make sure to unlock it from the anomaly construction research station

[hazy sparrow]

Lol I was just on the anomaly and looked for new options everywhere EXCEPT base parts.

Hmm, seems I already have it. Now to figure out how to put it on my freighter.

Done! You made my NMS day, I've wanted to do that for some time.

I enjoy the post-expedition exploration, where I go back to temp bases I built and build real ones, almost as much as I do the expedition itself.

[remote thunder]

be aware that there's been reports of exp17 bases not merging back into primary character

[hazy sparrow]

What, save file corruption? Say it ain't so! I've had wonderful history with that if you recall. Learned a lot about save file editing. Sadly I've forgotten most of it.

[remote thunder]

dont think it's corruption, just that they're not getting merged. i havent tested if it's just bases in purple star systems, or all

[hazy sparrow]

As long as I still have the systems in my Discovery list I can get to where I need. But it would mean these abandoned bases out there...

[remote thunder]

i'd strongly recommend that you have screenshots with glyph addresses

just in case, best play it safe

[sweet oyster]

when i leave the expedition, i can claim the alien ship from the vendor in the anomoly back on my main game save right?

cause i wanna end w. my main ship to clone it and harvest its parts instead

[remote thunder]

you could abuse expedition terminus to copy multiple gear

[sweet oyster]

i just wanna clone and strip my main ship

[remote thunder]

@sweet oyster but you can definitely later claim the wraith from the shop in your primary character, once in any save under the same account

[hazy sparrow]

Good advice, fortunately I take notes of the glyph address of every planet of importance I visit.

[hazy sparrow]

I did that with the vulture to salvage copies of each part.

[remote thunder]

yeah

you can easily save, return to, copy, resume, change gear, save, return to primary again, copy, so on

[hazy sparrow]

I was told to be careful with multiple copies of the same ship. So I recommend clone, strip, salvage, rinse and repeat.

Time for dinner and Daredevil, ya'll have fun.

[cedar depot]

Is there meant to be a specific method to find torandos, or am I kinda just wandering until I find one? I've been walking on this gas giant at rendezvous for 20 mins

[remote thunder]

disable multiplayer, try gas giant in the starter system, Skatae

[sleek island]

How do I get a freighter needing rescue from pirates that has the Atlantid drive to appear?

[remote thunder]

afaik that's not a thing? i mean, i've not seen any freighter spawn with resonance matrix by default

[sleek island]

How do we get the Atlantid freighter drive, then?

[remote thunder]

in expedition17? not sure we can. it's not in the installable tech list, right?

[sleek island]

I think Scottish Rod spent time and got one. Here in one of his videos talking about reward and things you can take away from the expedition, at the 5:06 mark, he has his freighter with the Atlantid drive from the espedition installed on it: https://youtu.be/Q5yXRrEnlG0?feature=shared&t=306

[remote thunder]

pretty sure this is in their primary character

[sleek island]

Ah, no. He actually gets it in expedition, as he talks about in the beginning, 35 seconds in: https://youtu.be/c7ltYrmnkq0

I just need info on what it takes to improve the chances to get one to appear that has the drive.

[remote thunder]

1. "it will only give you access to purple systems" if you start from new save

that's why they have atlantid drive installed and unlocked - which basically also unlocks resonance matrix it seems?

ah no, it gets added to research tree ok i see

but yes, this only happens on a exp17 converted save

because players keep the purple star system access that way

so it makes sense that resonance matrix can also be unlocked before completing the instellar multitudes quest

double check your freighter upgrade terminal, base parts&upgrades, tech research tree

[sleek island]

I haven't gotten a freighter yet in my primary save.

[remote thunder]

the biggest difference between you and scottish rod is that he starts out by saying that he did a exp17 run started from new save, not existing save

started from existing save, the ability to purple star won't remain unlocked in primary

[sleek island]

Right. I got that. It's because there is a base building limit.

[remote thunder]

well, he says that he started from new save specifically to see whether resonance matrix would still be available to research, on their expedition17-converted to normal save, even without having completed the in stellar multitudes quest, which is normally the unlock source for atlantid drive and resonance matrix both at the same time, as well as enabling the character stat to reveal purple stars

[sleek island]

He said in another video that it's good to do a new save for 17 for base-building purposes since there is an upper limit to how many bases you can have per save.

[remote thunder]

each save has a 16k parts save wide limit, for all bases including freighter base

[sleek island]

👍

So... is there a trick to getting bonus equipment (i.e. freighter resonance matrix) on freighters? For instance, I need to be in a certain system, like a 2- or 3-star economy, or some such?

[wanton fern]

you just research the resonance matrix

[sleek island]

Ooooh.

[remote thunder]

iow, get a freighter first -- but.. it's going to take quite a lot of salvaged frigate modules to get there

[sleek island]

So, just need a decent freighter and the matrix will be on the tech tree from then on.

[remote thunder]

yep

[sleek island]

Thanks.

[prisma tundra]

no, it is, it's auto unlocked, I put one on my wraith ship

[remote thunder]

we were talking about freighter's resonance matrix

[prisma tundra]

ah, ok, yeah idk how you'd get it if you don't do the quest for it, maybe it's been fixed?

[remote thunder]

and whether or not it was possible for npc freighter's to spawn with resonance matrix; it's researchable in freighter upgrade terminal for expedition 17 saves/normal saves converted from expedition 17

[prisma tundra]

fair enough

[hazy sparrow]

I got lucky, my expedition bases are in my discovery list.

[remote thunder]

1 question: did you already have access to purple stars on primary character?

iow, had you already completed in stellar multitudes on it?

[elder yarrow]

Um guys... I think I screwed up with the expedition..... I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be here...

[remote thunder]

(lol)

[obtuse shoal]

is it possible to build a carbon or oxigen farm?

disable multiplayer -> hop in and out of ship -> reload last restore point

should have a tornado nearby

[hazy sparrow]

Yes. I specifically did that before starting the expedition, as I figured it might be needed.

I do note, however, that while I can see expedition save beacons from myself and others on the planet, when you walk up to them they are invisible and you cant use them to save

[fallow inlet]

I don't remember if I have asked this or not. For this expedition I started it as a new save. Being done with it and it now a regular save, next expedition do I start it from this save or switch to another new save?

If I want to keep everything I acquire that is.

[hazy sparrow]

It depends on WHERE you want non-reward items that you transfer back to go, or if you even care. Now that you have a regular save, I recommend starting from it, as you can clone a multitool and a ship the next time, and when you are done copy everything back to the same save.
Some experienced players, who don't really benefit from copying anything back, however, like to start from a new save each time to give them that "new game" experience. Up to you.
REWARD items are always available to all saves, old or new, from the Quicksilver vendor.

So to answer your question directly, if you want to keep everything on the same save, start the next expedition from that existing save.

im not sure if c, b or a class upgrades can since i never use them but s certainly can

save before installing a s-class scanner module, install it, if it doesn't roll +% fauna analysis you just reload restore point, store any tech or module+install that package again, then install s-class module

there's several milestones in this expedition that reward s-class scanner

[feral meadow]

cant find any sunken freighters on adtow. do i just continue landing at random points of the planet and hope to scan one?

[nova sable]

There should be player made bases near those

[feral meadow]

thank you i shall try

[wraith junco]

I had problems with spawnning sunken freighter in purple system but in normal regulated system it worked fine

[feral meadow]

ill try that too

[remote thunder]

With the 5.57 patch, it's possible to successfully scan for sunken freighters on Adtow (Rendezvous 2 planet), but you must save on that planet and relaunch the game completely for the fix to apply.

"nautilon quick menu/scan for buildings/sunken freighter"

[feral meadow]

i dont see any updates on steam i so i think i might already have that update installed

[remote thunder]

yeah, latest is 5.58

[stray carbon]

We need to start a drinking game for this

[elfin portal]

They can. I've had a few, but they got quickly replaced by S-class mods.

[stray carbon]

Because every expedition terminal explanation youtubed or asked about forgets to mention something;

The Order Of Operations:

For how to use the expedition terminal from a main save~

-Make sure your current active multitool and ship is the one you want to bring with you on the expedition

-Select expedition terminal

-Fill inventory boxes of terminal with things you will want during the expedition, you'll have access to it once you reach the anomoly on the other side

-Start expedition from terminal

-Notice the expedition terminal inventory boxes are locked after emptying them, this is normal

-Go have fun

-Return to the main save at any point to select different ships and MTs to copy, or if you've gotten good ships or mts in the expedition do the reverse and copy that over.

-Make backups of your save at major steps just in case

-Profit

DO NOT HIT END EXPEDITION

-Make sure you collected every phase's reward and the rewards for all the phases tasks

-If done correctly now the inventory boxes in the expedition terminal should be unlocked, fill them with goodies you want to give to your main save.

DO NOT HIT END EXPEDITION

-Get in/out of your spaceship to make sure saves are fresh between steps

-Use your escape/main menu to go back to your main save and collect goodies without having to end the expedition, after returning to the expedition you can do this as many times as you want if you do it this way.

-Make sure your all done with anything else you want to use the expedition save for (like doing missions on both saves to for extra quicksilver)

-Make sure the final ship and multitool you want to send back into main are your active primary mt and ship and that theyre kitted out just how you like them

NOW YOU CAN HIT END EXPEDITION

-Notice all your sweet rewards are carrying over, and return to main save

-Finish by getting the mt and ship out of the expedition terminal

~Done

[queen dust]

My last task is the sunken freighter too, but I've warped a lot since Adtow, what system is it in?

[wraith junco]

Any planet with water will do

It dont need to be specific one

[stray carbon]

It says "deep" but I found mine on the coast

One system over

[queen dust]

Ah nice, I was assuming it needed to be an aquatic world. Thank you

[queen dust]

Annnd done, that was a good shout on trying any other planet to Adtow, got it first scan 🙂

[hazy sparrow]

You left out 2 steps before Start expediton:
Make sure your current multitool is the one you want to bring with you on the expedition
Make sure your current starship is the one you want to bring with you on the expedition

This is significant for me because I have 2 multitools I regularly use - one for combat and one for everything else. The multitools with the bonuses to scanning is the one I want with me on the expedition unless I know there's going to be a lot of fighting.

I would also add backing up your save before each major step.

[stray carbon]

Yep, every guide misses a thing or two.

Edited to include, ty

If someone could pin that somewhere it would be awesome

[rose ferry]

Scanner isn't giving me one either.

[wraith junco]

Try non purple system

Or

[finite scaffold]

I would also possibly add the fact that you don't necessarily want to end the expedition if you still aren't done doing quicksilver to synthesize items at the anomoly. Getting an extra possible 4600 quicksilver per week can be great (400x7 and 1800 for weekend).

[stray carbon]

Okay, but only because adding Ty Ty to the credit line will confuse people and get me chuckles

[rose ferry]

It must still be biggest because I reloaded and it didn't work

[stray carbon]

Edditedd Ty Ty

[hazy sparrow]

Maybe it's more stable now, or maybe others just don't care, but I had my Discoveries list lose items doing this. I still had bases visible in systems I had discovered and built bases in, but the systems themselves disappeared from my discovery list, and the list entry doesn't refresh from the server unless you warp into the system; merely going to your base isn't good enough, you have to warp in. As the names reset, I didn't know what station portal was what either. You have to land on EACH planet to get them to refresh if you don't warp. Even scanning with my freighter didn't fix it.
Ultimately I ended up using a save file editor to rebuild my Discoveries lists with just the stuff I had discovered. But I'm anal that way. 😛

[hazy sparrow]

This is the first expedition where I didn't see where some kind soul had labeled their base "Sunken freighter." Adtow has a ton of bases, but you can't fly to them because they are a mile under water.

[low horizon]

wait...you can only earn quicksilver in expeditions?

[hazy sparrow]

No, you earn quicksilver normally for doing anomaly missions. When on an expedition you essentially have two saves that let you do these weekend and daily missions twice. Thus, when you merge your save back, you've essentially doubled up.

[nova sable]

no lmao

[nova sable]

there was one on one of the planet along the route lmao

[hazy sparrow]

bummer, it never showed up for me when I searched for bases to portal to.

[nova sable]

one of the planet with mostly water lol

[hazy sparrow]

I'm lazy. I wait a couple of weeks to start an expedition, mostly to give HG a chance to patch the glitches out, but also for people to build bases that make it easier to complete missions and earn credits and nanites.

[nova sable]

Maybe a little more?

I did even got a picture of the entire thing

[hazy sparrow]

For one of the points, on Adtow, I had to jump into the water and swim down a bit to get it to recognzie the point, then back out of the water on my ship for the picture to count towards the achievement. You HAVE to get the rdv point achievement before the picture will count.

i'd suggest not having your character on the shot (for example, be in first person camera, then enter photo mode), and not having the photo mode UI on the shot either (press Y to hide it), press Guide, then Y again

be sure to be patient, wait for the system to tell you that a screenshot was saved/written to disk

only then exit photo mode

and that's rendezvous 1, so chronicle 1 milestone is selected, right?

[prisma tundra]

Automatically given, easy to build/understand, and not resource intensive, so for new players specifically joining the game for this new expedition, that’s why

[vague shuttle]

A couple of questions here: does everyone spawn in the same system for the expedition? And if so, does anyone know how to get any of the metals that you need for the chromatic stuff that's used for antimatter? I only have copper in my log, and idk if you can find any of the other ones (cadmium, emeril, and indium I think)

[rose ferry]

Is there a body of water on the gas giant, Toletho Omega?

[dim grove]

quartzite is the new one

refines at the same rates as indium

[vague shuttle]

So I can use it to get the chromatic stuff?

[dim grove]

yes

[vague shuttle]

Huh. Guess they forgot to update the description or smth, it never says anything about quartzite in the crafting instructions

[prisma tundra]

Yes, everyone starts on the same planet in the same system, and like Dathe said, quartzite is the stellar metal above indium for purple systems

[prisma tundra]

Interesting

[remote thunder]

i guess the devs just relied on the fact that all stellar metals and all activated stellar metals always refined to chromatic metal

and yes, forgot to update hint

[vague shuttle]

Another thing, on the note of us all spawning in the same system, any of y'all know if there are any of the portal things anywhere? Like the monoliths that you can put coordinates into?

[remote thunder]

anyone who had played the latest quest would already know ofc

[remote thunder]

yes, there are, being in expedition doesn't change that - but there's no milestone that rewards the glyph set

[vague shuttle]

I've barely played on anything other than sandbox so far, so does not having the glyph set mean I'm not given the glyphs to input in the first place? Or that I just can't find glyph coordinates for other portals and id have to guess?

[dim grove]

you cant input glyphs to use portals until you get them i think

[clever kernel]

Yeah

[clever kernel]

Basically you can't put specific glyphs on a portal

[prisma tundra]

yeah, but unlike cursed expedition, there's no need for getting them

started from new save? it will get converted to a normal mode save, keeping all inventories, progress so far - conversion happens either when all milestones, phase and final rewards are claimed, or when expedition ends server side, whichever's first

Oh. Lmao. I already found an undiscovered system. Named it Ohio.

[forest meteor]

@remote thunder anything else i should bring? threw in some warp drives incase i needed to warp

[remote thunder]

i think i had also linked this post <#nms-expedition message>, be sure to check it out as well

[forest meteor]

thank you!

[remote thunder]

anytime 🙂

[forest meteor]

alright based off that, this is what im bringing

[stray carbon]

Got Nip?

[forest meteor]

lil bit

1/2 of my freighter is a nip farm

[wanton fern]

probably needs a little more nip

[forest meteor]

• i have a land farm

wait so, how do i get the anomoly to spawn/

[frozen laurel]

Warp once. Then it will be in the quick action menu

[forest meteor]

oh shit so i need to get a warp cell

[frozen laurel]

From the start there's a nearby system named You went the wrong way.

[forest meteor]

lol wait what

i found it

i still need a warp cell

[frozen laurel]

Make one

[broken pike]

Just finished the expedition twice lol

[forest meteor]

so im looking through the expedition log, where in the expedition do i get the living ship?

[wanton fern]

its the last reward i think

on the last page

[forest meteor]

got it

forgot to check that one

thanks

[wanton fern]

yuh

[low horizon]

before closing out the expedition, can I move to primary save and move the inventory items back to my storage then go back to expedition move more stuff and so forth until I move everything I want to mve?

[remote thunder]

yes, once you complete and claim all milestones, expedition terminus inventory slots will unlock, add items and then back out, save, return to primary, take items, etc

[low horizon]

oh. Do I need to back out of the game completely or just go to options and load primary save?

[remote thunder]

back out of the expedition terminus

right mouse button/back after putting items in

[low horizon]

huh? ok now you lost me lol. I went to the terminal added the items to transfer backed out and the created restore point (in and out of ship).

[remote thunder]

then save, then pause/options/return to primary

take the items out primary char side

[low horizon]

right okay...I follow now

thx again

[remote thunder]

save, resume expedition -repeat as many times as needed

np, anything just ask

[fallow inlet]

Any benefits from doing an expedition more than once?

[broken pike]

Unless you just happen to have multiple saves with progress, not really far as I'm aware.

I just helped a friend who recently started do it, but I was done with it anyway.

[fallow inlet]

Ah, okay

[cedar epoch]

Yo

[forest meteor]

so, if i wanna get off and finish this later, i can just make sure to save by entering/exiting my ship, and then get off? when i get back on and load in, i'll just be here again

im assuming

sorry if thats a dumb question, first exp

[acoustic hawk]

whats the starting system for titan

i went to one of the rendevous and now im completely lost

[snow ruin]

😜

[spring niche]

is there info about the next expedition out yet?

[vast jetty]

Nope

[mossy minnow]

what is expedition

[vast jetty]

Basically you do it in exchange for rewards that carry across saves, making new saves easier

[sullen meteor]

anything in particular I should bring for this exp?

[broken pike]

Poop

Hydrothermal cells would be nice too. Otherwise, anything you might need to stock like carbon, ferrite dust, oxygen, and sodium. The usual resupplies.

[sullen meteor]

how many fuel cells would you say?

[broken pike]

Err

5-10 to get you started

Just in case

You shouldn't need any other nautilon upgrades though

[sullen meteor]

any sentinel stuff?

[broken pike]

Nah, though it helps to have combat weapons though to get nanites

Since Sentinel modules sell pretty good

[sullen meteor]

I meant like the dumb shards, mirrors, hearts

those are always a pain in the butt lol

[broken pike]

Nah

[sullen meteor]

how do you survive walking into a tornado?

(like, actually survive, not just get credit for the milestone)

ah neat, it counts even if you fly into it with your ship

[ruby anvil]

I was looking through past expeditions rewards, and it seems I'm missing the expedition 8 phases rewards, while I got the final reward (helios egg). So I'm pretty sure I did the expedition, but I probably forgot to claim them at the time ?
Is there any way I could claim them now ?

[wooden ledge]

so anyone ever had this happen before lol

[inland sentinel]

There is a way. If you are on PC.

[sullen meteor]

big props to whoever named the closest system to starter "you went the wrong way" lmao

[ionic stirrup]

I’m trying to get a sick shot of the final rendezvous but my stick drift is ruining it

Music goes hard tho

[ruby anvil]

I do be on pc ^^

[inland sentinel]

look into a past expedition loader

[ruby anvil]

Hmm, will look for it

[faint haven]

ya know nomansapp.com can give you any expedition reward even in console. Idk how they did it, but the bot works really well most of the time

[inland sentinel]

I use this

https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[faint haven]

huh

interesting

[inland sentinel]

yeah super easy and it works really well

[prisma cradle]

Y'all help
Every single pirate system I warp into has a dreadnought battle

I've had like 7 dreadnought battles

[sullen meteor]

is the atlantid drive like the others in that it counts for all lesser drives?

[prisma cradle]

help me
make it stop

[inland sentinel]

and there are others who would kill for a single dreadnought encounter lol

[snow ruin]

I'm assuming you got the Child of Helios reward not from expedition 8, but from Phase 2 of Omega Redux: #nms-expedition message

[ruby anvil]

I don't think so : unless I forgot, I've never played a Redux. I always do the expeditions when they are out.

But it's possible that I missed one and had to resort to a redux, if so it was a long time ago

Maybe I could wait for another redux of the expedition 8 ^^

[snow ruin]

I just find it much more likely that you got it that way since you're saying you don't have the rest of the rewards for expedition 8

[golden apex]

I don't know how to get crystal sulfate and they can't exit the first system in the expedition because my ship doesn't have the correct drive installed because I've got a new one which didn't have the new drive directly installed

[sullen meteor]

I was today years old when I learned that claiming a ship from the expedition rewards prevents you from claiming it from the expedition terminal lol

[snow ruin]

But not when you go back to your main save, AFAIK

You can only have 1 of the same ships in a save

[sullen meteor]

I assumed it would count as a different ship since when you claim it from the expedition terminal I think it usually renames it to some random name

that really sucks, actually... lol

[snow ruin]

Why does that "really suck"? Do you need two of the same ship in a save?

[sullen meteor]

No, the problem is that now I can't claim my suped-up ship that has way more upgrades

[snow ruin]

Uh, you can scrap the current one?

That'll let you copy a ship

[sullen meteor]

will it? I don't wanna risk it and have it say 'well you still copied it and you can't do it now'

[snow ruin]

I mean, I've copied a ship over, scrapped it, copied it over again, scrapped it, copied it over again, scrapped it, and copied it over again. To get more of one specific item tied to that ship (Photonix Core)

[sullen meteor]

so you used the expedition terminal to copy the ship you brought into the expedition multiple times, scrapping it after each copy?

[broken pike]

Yes I saw a broken machinery with it. I'm convinced someone decided the solution was to add more junk than remove the junk lol.

[hazy sparrow]

The tornado will suck you up and spit you out. Once you start falling, you use your jump jets to avoid meeting the ground at an unpleasant speed.

[hazy sparrow]

What system do you play on? The grass and shadows look awesome!

[trail musk]

Yes, ii will allow you to warp anywhere and everywhere

[golden apex]

If you want to help me this is my friend code 5506-G9VH-K4Y8J this is for resource help for the expedition DM me if you want to help

[wooden ledge]

PC on Steam!

[golden apex]

Can anyone help me or if they have any of the resources I'm about to list spare 250 indium and 200 atlantideum

[supple kite]

Ok

[primal rapids]

👀
I'm just now learning that you don't have to keep every drive on your ship... after years of playing... I'm at a loss of words right now

[trail musk]

There is the edge case for keeping all 4 on harder difficulties, multiple redundancy.

[remote thunder]

as well as increased range and efficiency through adjacency bonuses

[terse pebble]

Whelp, time to package up some older drives...

[remote thunder]

1. atlantideum is the least of your worries, any dissonant planet will have atlantideum crystals
2. indium primarily comes from blue star systems, but to get to those you'd need to unlock indium drive from anomaly starship research npc
3. to install indium drive, you'll need emeril, and for that you'll need the emeril drive, which needs cadmium
4. cadmium is easy to get, just buy+install+dismantle c-class positron ejector/infra knife/cyclotron ballista ship modules (125 cadmium + 1 loom each)

you could get emeril/indium from buried caches, even from buried caches in yellow star systems

[quiet kindle]

where i can find underwater crashed freighters?

[wraith junco]

On any planet with water

[visual crane]

Where is Ren 2 in the system? Is it not on Adtow? Says "off planet" when I approach

[remote thunder]

please check the pins <#nms-expedition message>

[visual crane]

Also, apparently Aqua Jets aren't working

[remote thunder]

was working ok for me just a few minutes ago actually, try to save+reload

[visual crane]

Works, thx 😄

This chapter, with thalassophobia... really is something.
The sub definitely alleviates that quite a bit though

[peak loom]

do we know what and when the next expedition will be?

[agile rain]

Can I end the expedition now even if I haven’t done the 5th phase? I don’t really care for anything else in the expedition and just want to collect my upgrades. How do I go about that?

[visual crane]

Any tips or sunken freighter, and Nanite making?

[remote thunder]

sunken freighter, see image

nanites:

several ways:

• zoology on planets with 1-6 fauna
• upload discoveries
• refining e.g. radiant shards, runaway mold
• selling upgrade modules you dont need for nanites
• buy sus packets tech/arms from outlaw station system, unpack and sell modules for nanites
• fishing and releasing fish to the water

[visual crane]

I've got it installed but it says "no buildings nearby". Should I keep trying after more distance, or relaunch?

[remote thunder]

you on Adtow? just disable mp if it's not already, then save, close game, relaunch, retry - if it still comes up with no buildings nearby, then move and rescan

[visual crane]

Thx

[visual crane]

It worked, and detected a signal... 2 hours away... Now I gotta overcome thalasso to get back to the ship xD Can I summon the sub again elsewhere without the station? Or can I pack that / do I need another one?

[remote thunder]

yep, you can, once the needed exo is already on that planet

[hazy sparrow]

While you don't HAVE to, each one provides I think 50 extra LY, plus adjacency bonuses. Later on ship slots are easy to expand as you go to stations that give them away if you have your rep up (which is also easy to grind). So I run them all.

Play around with configurations as well, as different adjacencies will give different bonuses. I've yet to find any pattern beyond keeping the most powerful by each other, more so than around the hyperdrive itself.

[remote thunder]

@visual crane but remember to delete floating chamber after building it so that you can rebuild it again later on another planet

[prisma tundra]

this

[visual crane]

Do you mean Nautilon Platform? I don't think I can

[remote thunder]

otoh, any ship with 1K-1.5K LY will do 99% of gameplay with no problems; galaxy map wasn't really made with long long distance travel to a specific target in mind

[remote thunder]

i mean floating chamber that can only be built on the surface; nautilon geobay can be built in underwater terrain. that said, since your nautilon is already spawned on that planet, you don't need either: you'll just quick menu resummon it to your new coordinates

[visual crane]

Awesome, thx 😄

[feral meadow]

does this mean my friend is done with the expedition? when does it convert into his primary save?

[remote thunder]

when they claim all milestone, phase and final expedition rewards

[feral meadow]

he has i think. he even has the wraith already.

[remote thunder]

look at the expedition tab, left side - is there a phase with "new reward" notification on it?

[feral meadow]

he says nope

[hazy sparrow]

Before actually ending the expedition for good, make he has the ship and multitool he wants to clone back to his main save as the current ones. If that matters.

[feral meadow]

he's going to convert this save to his main save since it's his first and only save 👍

[hazy sparrow]

Ah, k.

[prisma tundra]

yeah, that does mean complete and your friend would need to put stuff into the expedition terminus and switch to the correct ship/tool he'd wanna copy if any

[hazy sparrow]

But since he's going to convert the save into a regular save, none of that is necessary iirc.

[feral meadow]

he didnt start it from the anomaly. he started from a new save so i believe that this doesnt apply

[prisma tundra]

ah, right

[hazy sparrow]

If not started from the anomaly, can you even access the expedition terminal? Or the anomaly for that matter?

[prisma tundra]

yes because the expedition gives anomaly access after one warp

[feral meadow]

i wonder. maybe ill ask him to try if the expedition complete pop up doesnt come up

[remote thunder]

can access anomaly but not expedition terminus

[swift crane]

You can access anomaly, but there's no reason to interact with expedition terminal (you can't), if you start from new save you can't transfter items to other saves, so it's better to start it from your main save

[oblique fjord]

Can someone help had a guy taxi me to all the rendezvous planets and I followed the coordinates on the planets but can’t find the rendezvous point

It’s on the Haporin System on the planet Adtow

[hazy sparrow]

Do you have the mission selected as your current mission? That should give you the waypoint. If you've already done the mission, then I don't think there's a way to find it again.

[oblique fjord]

Not it’s completed for me because of a bug I need to take a picture of it but can’t find it

[hazy sparrow]

What happens when you select the picture mission? I think you may can take a picture anywhere on the planet and it will counnt.

[remote thunder]

pinned post

[hazy sparrow]

Or that lol

bk for the save...again

[oblique fjord]

At that location now

But nowhere to be found

[oblique fjord]

It doesn’t

[remote thunder]

it's underwater i think

right?

[hazy sparrow]

I got it by jumping in the water (thus triggering completion of the point mission) then out then taking a picture from my ship and got credit.

[remote thunder]

i don't really know as that milestone auto completed for me when i landed+exited ship on an island nearby

screenshot milestone also worked on that very spot

[oblique fjord]

It’s saying return to Beze why does it want me to take a picture there that’s not where the pinned comment said the rendezvous planet was

[hazy sparrow]

Are you still in your ship? I was always out of my ship on foot when I took the picture.

[oblique fjord]

Yeah tried that

[remote thunder]

Beze? odd, now i'm wondering if that's the proc gen name of Adtow. does that Beze planet have lithium on resource list?

[oblique fjord]

No it doesn’t but it is another planet including Adtow in the system

[hazy sparrow]

Dunno what to suggest, warp away and back?

[oblique fjord]

I’ll try going to Beze maybe it bugged out and I need to take the picture there

[remote thunder]

at least itd be interesting to know how the tooltip updates, but i agree that warping out and back in, or select a diff milestone+save+reload+reselect right milestone are things to try if it doesn't work

[hazy sparrow]

Or, since Adtow is so early in the expedition, just starting it over if you are going to question that save. Unless you've done everything else and are trying to complete it.

[oblique fjord]

Would rather not already went through the trouble of asking some guy to uber me around I’m all in on this save at this point

[leaden ember]

I'm on phase two of the expidition and I'm on the first mission so anyone know a planet with storm crystals?

[oblique fjord]

It worked on Beze

[remote thunder]

somehow got bugged then

[oblique fjord]

It’s fine I can make this work

At least even if it’s the wrong planet if I’m in the right system it’ll tell me where to go

[remote thunder]

can look for any planet with activated copper/cadmium/emeril/quartzite and no star bulb, or just skip this milestone for now and complete it in rendezvous 3 planet

[hazy sparrow]

I think the very first starter planet had them. I followed an online guide that has you do missions out of order, optimizing the path through them.

[remote thunder]

yes, all gas giants have storm crystals always active

both starter planet and rdv3 planet are gas giants

[hazy sparrow]

right, this, you can do it the same time you go fishing

Look for my gas giant fishing hole base, then gather storm crystals around it.

[leaden ember]

And your name is the same in game?

[hazy sparrow]

Yes, I've been NCIceman since Counterstrike lol

Started Counterstrike as VashTheStampede, had this cool spray of the 50 billion wanted poster.

[leaden ember]

Okay I'll look for your name, and is that in the first system or the third?

[hazy sparrow]

Rdv 3. Check any teleporter in the system, it might show up. Finding bases on gas giants can be tricky due to the size of the planet.

[leaden ember]

Okay thanks, Ima just get to that system ASAP because all the qeusts for phase two are just general everywhere qeysts except that one

[sullen meteor]

I figured that out later, but the first time I ended up in one (it snuck up on me lol) it just battered me against the ground and a nearby hill and I restored a save before I died

anyway, it's much safer to just fly into one with your ship, that also seems to count

[hazy sparrow]

Yeah I didn't know about the ship thing, never had one affect me in a ship.

[sullen meteor]

it doesn't but you get credit anyway

going slightly underground with the terrain manipulator might work too

[prisma cradle]

I just had another one in a level 1 conflict system, it shouldn't even be here

[visual moss]

how long does it take to finish a expedition if i never played before?

[remote thunder]

5-10h

also, would further depend if you use guides or not

[snow ruin]

Using the pins in this channel can help a lot

[inland sentinel]

looks like an expedition update from Sean

[wraith junco]

Its not confirmed if its an expedition.

All we know atm is that some update is coming. We dont know the size or content.

[hazy sparrow]

Use it to farm for an S class lol.
One of my discovered pirate systems is ALWAYS a dreadnaught battle when I warp in. Never gotten an S, though. Never seen an S tbh.

[visual crane]

Done with the expedition and the new story! Another great, fascinating update & chapter for NMS... On all fronts: features, variety, QoL, lore and story.
I hope everybody finds something to enjoy in it 😄 and wish a great weekend to all! Thanks to all those who helped me, as always.

[ashen barn]

how long does it take if i got 20 hours and got experience in the game?

[prisma cradle]

Yeah but what's the point of that if I'm just gonna get yoinked back to my primary save in a few days y'know?
I got like three in a row at one point

[remote thunder]

depends on how much you've learned about the various areas of the game, and in regards to expedition 17, if you've been able to visit purple star systems yet or not. in any case, you'll be fine, there's still plenty of time left, remember to check the pinned posts in this channel (if you don't know how, let us know)

[prisma tundra]

I have over 500 hours of the game but I need more than a day to complete the whole expedition, usually about 1 phase per day if I play for at least 3 hours each play session day, yet somehow I know people who boast about completing expeditions in 2-4 hours depending on which one

[ashen barn]

i completed 3 phases in 4 hours

but i got a little bit scared about phase 4 and 5

[fallow loom]

Uh if I forgot to visit the space station for Rdz#3
I broke my Antlantid Drive
And the last 2 things are the deep water and sea glass found on that planet...
What's the best way to get back there?
Do I have to go to the Anomaly and start upgrading my Warp until I can get the rare metal for the Antlantid Drive?

[raw ruin]

Yeah, you gotta work your way up again. You just need Indium for the Atlandid drive as one of the components.

[fallow loom]

Ooof. My freighter was like 1 jump away from that system, but it can't jump either.
Thanks for confirming before I started the grind

maybe I'll try to find a Repair Kit from a derelict instead
It's only the metal I lack

[steel cipher]

When’s the new expedition?

[shy dagger]

Cant get to find a place 1000 deep

or whatever the number is

[remote thunder]

remember that you can check depth when fishing; rendezvous 2 planet has spots deep enough - might even be able to teleport to a base deep enough if you use a teleporter (on a base of your own, or another player base)

[shy dagger]

I am at a base that says 1001 deep but it only gets to 600

[remote thunder]

ah well, sorry bout that, but 😅

[remote thunder]

you could unlock eco scanner and find an outlaw system and get repair kits from contraband agent npc

[remote thunder]

in the pinned posts, there's a pin that has specific latitude+longitude coordinates that i personally used to complete that milestone

[shy dagger]

Yeah i am very close but i dont know how to precisely get to that

[slender sphinx]

anyone knows some extreme weather planets on Titan Expedition?

[remote thunder]

use visor or nautilon (lower left of the screen). first number is latitude (so N or S on the compass), second number is longitude (so E or W on the compass)

[remote thunder]

for storm crystals? starter planet or rendezvous 3 planet would be the easy ones

[fallow loom]

I found one unpacking sus goods. Now to fknd gamma root or just get to an outlaw station like you suggest

[slender sphinx]

yes, whats the planet name again? maybe i can teleport to some bases.

[remote thunder]

check your station teleporter list and subnames below station names (some will have "rendezvous <number>"); check pinned posts for post with exp17 rendezvous system and planet names

[faint mesa]

We already have a new emoji and I didn't start this expedition yet smh
Ok, work's done, time to check the pins and trace a route for an efficient run

[snow ruin]

Just gonna point out that you can buy repair kits from outlaw stations too, if you find one of those easier

[hazy sparrow]

That's funny, I think there was only one pirate system I ran in to the whole expedition. But yeah, if this is expedition, just remember the system and go farming if you want later.

[inland sentinel]

If you get the conflict scanner you can seek out pirate controlled systems like I did last night trying to get a dreadnought for my expedition playthrough

found 0 of them and googled it found out they can't be your first freighter

[prisma cradle]

I can't, the primary save is an abandoned universe save, I'm using the expedition to get everything I otherwise wouldn't be able to

[hazy sparrow]

What is an "abandoned universe"?

[sullen meteor]

have you completed the base game story yet?

[inland sentinel]

yeah that answers the question lol

was gonna say what it is lul

[inland sentinel]

Can you just warp back to euclid?

[sullen meteor]

where is planet adtow? for me rendezvous 2 was called iticu

did they seriously alter this planet or something? the planet icon in discoveries has what appears to be a large body of water in the middle-ish, and I'm there, and there's no water anywhere

[fallow inlet]

Adtow is the rendezvous 2 world. I think iticu is a different rendezvous or on the way to a rendezvous. Adtow is an ocean planet.

[sullen meteor]

oh I'm dumb. I'm at the second system which is rendezvous 1 lol

[fallow inlet]

It happens to the best of us.

[snow ruin]

They probably worded it wrong. It's not an abandoned universe save, but an abandoned mode save, in which all universes are devoid of NPCs as in the expedition that did that (adrift?). So Euclid would also be empty in that mode.

[sterile pasture]

guys

any tips on expedition?

[prisma tundra]

see pins

[sullen meteor]

there's a guide in the pins, but if you wanna save some time, bring some faecium, gamma root, and hydrothermal fuel cells for the nautilon. also something to make nanites with

[inland sentinel]

True I'll eventually get around to that expedition

[sullen meteor]

oh and maybe some extra life support gel, you'll run through that extra fast in the super deep water parts

[fallow inlet]

Don't forget the lubricant

[prisma cradle]

That's not how that works, its not an abandoned galaxy, the entire universe is abandoned, its a whole game mode

[inland sentinel]

Yeah @snow ruin just told me

[snow ruin]

Not just universe, every universe in that mode

[sullen meteor]

I do not like gas giants. it's so hard to see...

also there's just giant objects floating up out of the ground all the time lol

[inland sentinel]

but soo pretty and big

on a really good monitor you can see abit more but still limited

[sullen meteor]

anything special about this exp's multi-tool and starship?

the ship seems to have two launch system rechargers lol

[sullen meteor]

also how do I build an atlantideum drive on my main save? it doesn't seem to be in the starship upgrades tree

[fallow inlet]

You have to do the Stellar Multitude quest.

[dense olive]

I'd like to see an expedition where your starter ship is like 5 hours away and you gotta run across the planet to get there. Make it something cool like a squid so people will actually do it. Also starter multitool could be a good one. Maybe make some of the checkpoints on the way

I did a "no starter ship" save on abandoned mode twice now, it was kinda like that

[golden apex]

Anyone doing it got 250 indium to spare

[remote thunder]

if you actually need to craft atlantid drive, instead of repair, keep reading:

1. indium primarily comes from blue star systems, but to get to those you'd need to unlock indium drive from anomaly starship research npc
2. to install indium drive, you'll need emeril, and for that you'll need the emeril drive, which needs cadmium
3. cadmium is easy to get, just buy+install+dismantle c-class positron ejector/infra knife/cyclotron ballista ship modules (125 cadmium + 1 loom each)
   you could get emeril/indium from buried caches, even from buried caches in yellow star systems

[median hatch]

man the rename a discovery part of the expedition has me wanting to import a ship from main save to be able to jump further at once lol

[remote thunder]

no need, just rename a waypoint; fly low and slow, quick scan spam till you get an unknown building marker

[median hatch]

...oh my god

[remote thunder]

hundreds of waypoints on any inhabited system planet

[median hatch]

yeah i'm sure i'm far enough away from the super populated routes that i should be able to find one reasonably easily

cheers

[remote thunder]

imo, you'd find one easily in expedition systems

[humble apex]

wait what

three days

dang

hopefully i’ll get it on the rerun

[remote thunder]

well, went live feb 12th - and you still have a) time to finish a run (unless personal reasons) and b) there's always the redux later this year

[median hatch]

yeah i started to get in a hurry lol. was waiting for a friend to play through the expedition but he has some retraining stuff to deal with irl 🙃

[humble apex]

yeah i’ll be away from home so there’s no chance lol

[humble apex]

oof, hope they’re alright!

[median hatch]

yeah he's fine (last i checked), just some military stuff he can't avoid

[stone pilot]

Is there any way of going back and doing older expeditions?

[remote thunder]

only if pc, there's an unofficial way to do it

[stone pilot]

Thanks for letting me know! My platform is PlayStation so, I can't do it anyway!

[remote thunder]

some past expedition rewards can be gifted by other players, like unique ships, or pet eggs

[stone pilot]

👍

[jagged sedge]

Hmm - there's currently a positive demand for 'fish and rice' on planet Adtow - quite ironic, I think

Is it true that players in expedition won't see the bases of players who have completed it?

[remote thunder]

yes

[jagged sedge]

Ah, ok - I have read that, but it was quite a time ago

[formal cape]

Why can’t I return items from the expedition to my main save?

I can’t use the console thing at the anomaly

[snow ruin]

Did you start the expedition from the console in the anomaly?

[formal cape]

Yes

[snow ruin]

Have you finished the expedition?

As in, claiming all the milestones, including the last one?

Not clicking "finish expedition" in the console

[stray carbon]

Happeed to me too, boxes being locked is normal, i forgot to claim onenof the phases subrewards, clicked it and everything unlocked

[formal cape]

Oh ty

[stray carbon]

#nms-expedition message

Yw

[snow ruin]

I'll point out that you can return to main save at any point to change ship and MT so you can copy different ships and MTs into the expedition, or if you've gotten good ships in the expedition you can of course copy it back to main save at any point too. Switching back and forth can be useful

[stray carbon]

Roger, ill add that to the edit and... probably make it more legible while im at it

[stray carbon]

Thing is edited #nms-expedition message

[final island]

Whos playing no mans sky on Nintendo switch

[remote thunder]

i know of several server members who play on switch, yeah. i'm not one of them, but if there's any question we may be able to help, or if it's not an expedition related question, move to #nms-questions 🙂

[remote thunder]

@stray carbon , @snow ruin first off want to say thanks for the efforts to help other players, and the server. about that "expedition terminus/expedition terminus abuse" post:

• we already have explained/have a summary of part of what you've mentioned when it comes to "starting an expedition from existing save" in !faq-expedition, which is/should iirc also be pin posted in this channel; it briefly hints at the Expedition Terminus ability to see whatever gear's equipped on either side, as well as the ability to change gear after start and while expedition character is "running". that said however we will elaborate a bit further on that part.
• we will likely make a subpost linked in !faq-expedition /finishing an expedition explaining how to abuse expedition terminus, i've already made a draft on it, pretty much ready to go.

cc @wraith venture

[stray carbon]

Sweet, itd be nice to see a thorough go at it

My concern was why and how basic functionality of the terminal was pretty arcane, I legit panicked when I saw the inventory boxes were locked, thinking id missed my chance to send stuff back

[remote thunder]

nah, yeah, got to claim all first

(academical atm, but in expeditions with optional community research milestones, not the case with exp17, we do have to press end if we want to acess exp terminus slots with unclaimed optionals)

[stray carbon]

NMS is like that in general though, lots of stuff that has no transitional hints or explanations.

Or hidden away in a lore/discovery tab instead of the player learning in situ

Which is a shame because a lot of how things actually work is neat but really easy to just look past because its not obvious.

||I only recently learned how to have better chances of finding a/s class multitools but thats getting off topic||

[dusky oracle]

hello ! whats the next expedition spoiler?

I saw some bones on sean's posting

[nova sable]

probably related to archeology lol

or grave digging

[dusky oracle]

oh ok

[nova sable]

plot twist

Sean is making Jurassic World

[stray carbon]

Clever girl

[ashen barn]

can someone help me on fathoms below expedition mission? i'm on a ocean planet but i didnt found any sunken freighter

[weak hamlet]

what expedition is on rn

[ashen barn]

titan expedition

[wraith junco]

[strange river]

If it's a deep ocean planet idk if they'll spawn. I spent 3 hours swimming around and couldn't find one. I think you have to be on a "normal" planet with an ocean

that's where i found mine

[wraith junco]

There is solution in pins

[ashen barn]

i was on Adtow planet

and my scanner didnt found any

[quaint urchin]

Here's what the Pins say:

[ashen barn]

yes but i was exactly on adtow planet

[quaint urchin]

Have you tried these steps?

[ashen barn]

yep

[quaint urchin]

Then I would say wait until you reach Ipto XIV to do that one.

Else you can check the Teleporter in the Space Station to see if anyone has a base you can teleport to.

[ashen barn]

this planet?

[supple sedge]

whats a quick way to make 1000 nanites

[stray carbon]

Gotta catch'em all!

[supple sedge]

my last station was an outlaw station so may just try that

[zinc gate]

how to find a tornado?

[remote thunder]

disable mp, return to skatae system via teleporter, land on the gas giant, just wait and listen for the stronger winds, shouldn't take long

tornadoes pick up a lot of rubble and have lightning strikes in the middle

[zinc gate]

Disable multiplayer?

[slender sinew]

Does anyone know which planet has a deep ocean for the expedition

I can't seem to find one

[zinc gate]

It can be the one labeled as ocean for biome

[remote thunder]

rendezvous 2 planet, Adtow

[slender sinew]

Thank You

[sonic garnet]

guys i have a question for someone

i need uh yeast and lubricant

[cold tulip]

Make em. You need faecium and gamma weed

[sonic garnet]

not as easy as it sounds

[cold tulip]

It is

There is gamma weed on the first system iirc

[sonic garnet]

the gauntlets for it tho

[cold tulip]

Refine carbon and di hydro for faecium

[cold tulip]

At the anomaly

[sonic garnet]

how do you even refine two things at a time

[cold tulip]

With a medium refiner

Or the mk2 personal refiner

You get both at the anomaly

[sonic garnet]

all this to cook a slop of meat

[ashen shore]

hi, anyone else landed in system ,,Iuntigon'' when inputting exact glyph coordinates of Adtow planet? somehow it's in Euclid Galaxy too

can there be more than one planet with the same glyph combination in the same galaxy?

[quaint urchin]

Have you finished the Expedition and are now back in your primary save?

[ashen shore]

yes, I want to access expedition location from my primary save now

to revisit the planet

[quaint urchin]

Have you completed 'In Stellar Multitudes" in your primary save and already have access to Purple systems?

If not, you cannot dial a Purple system so it will send you to the closest system to the Glyphs you've entered.

Only people who started from a New save get to keep access to Purple systems after ending the Expedition.

[ashen shore]

oh

ok

thx

[prisma tundra]

I don’t think you need lubricant for cooking, but gamma weed is available on some planets and people’s bases, the hazmat gauntlet is a reward from other goals, and faecium can be processed into yeast in nutrient processor, with faecium able to be obtained from dung samples

[remote thunder]

(or by refining mordite)

[jagged sedge]

If you don't want to dig through animal droppings, refining di-hydrogen with carbon gives faecium also

[vestal spruce]

Go to Helios and buy and sell U
Upgrades.

[round panther]

guys, is there a bug about finishing the expedition?
i claimed every reward and it says "about to finish early, optional milestones"
shouldnt that milestone show somewhere???

oh, judging from log, its about collecting the rewards from the quicksilver guy.
but if i started from main save... thats totally optional or?

[strange zinc]

Are there any mono-moon gas giants listed?

[remote thunder]

yeah, there's no optional/community research milestones on this one

[round panther]

i get the feeling they made it so, that people search and find the info about "you have rewards on all saves etc.."

[remote thunder]

afaik, gas giants can't have only 1 moon, and from the ones i remember seeing so far personally, all with 5 moons

[sleek island]

I am getting a bug in m build menu where my Deployable Technology menu is blank. No Save Beacon, no Refiner, no Exo-pads, nothing. What is this about and how do I fix it.

[remote thunder]

save+close game completely+relaunch

[sleek island]

Sigh. Yeah, figured.
