I misread
Okay
So
Navigation data
You need it
Take the data to a cartographer aboard the space station and ask to trade for specific maps
And buy artifact charts
So you got the battery, used the battery, and it marked nothing
Have you tried turning off multiplayer
exactly
what would that change?
Because things load differently
oh
For all we know literally every relic has been looted on the entire planet
Unlikely but possible
Could be trying to mark a relic alresdy taken by a player
OH MY GOD I GOT ONE
i am 99% sure that everything is looted
I GOT THE FIAH
Extremely unlikely
Grats
No joke no scam I drive into a tree
Cartographers aboard space stations sell relic maps for navigation data
could you give me some surge batteries btw? like i said mine are just gone
used em up
Everyone watch socials I'll be famous young boy stream fatal crash to thousands of vieweers
For that I'd have to find you on the spawn planet
we can go on a group so that you can see my player icon
Also, as it turns out
Those relic chest things are client side
Meaning the planet cannot run out of them
So if anybody else has this glitch, buddy up with somebody and follow them to a relic
is there no role for the expedition that ended a few days ago?
No, we drew the line at 16. No telling how many more there will be and that's plenty of roles for expeditions.
And 16 has power
me who started the game during exp 17:
But 16 doesn't have speed 😦
Guys, I was in my base on a moon of a giant planet, and a 'gravity storm' started - my character started leaning ... slowly... and went back when the storm subsided .. is this something new? Kinda disorienting tho
The Devs are going for 42 ... for obvious reasons
We don't appreciate this sort of joke here, promotion or glorification of real world violence or death is against Discord community guidelines, which you agreed to follow. This serves as your verbal warning.
how am i supposed to find fossils at a ocean planet for dig IV?
Anything specific to the new expidition that's recommended to bring with you to start that's not usually needed?
nah its same same
so is there a new expedition live?
Just started the expidition and it's suddenly at 3fps 😐
And very slow, it's been a few minutes and just very very slowly initializing
does anyone know how to get the ancient bones ive been digging them out but i keep getting nothing
make sure you have bag space
yes
i have space but i still got nothing
which objects should i bring for the expedition?
are you picking them up or maybe accidentally destroying them with the terrain manipulator?
once you get close enough to them just move in and hold the use key
You can get them underwater too
im holding E on them
after seeing the prompt
do you maybe have some unlocked slots way down in the list that you're not aware of? try scrolling down in your inventory
nope i dont have any other slots
i checked my starship too
nothing for some reason
is the interact prompt going away?
so i hold E it goes away it counts as it me getting it in the expedition goal
are they not inventory items anymore?
maybe they've moved into a special collections thingy
if they werent it would still update the quest but it didnt
as you can see it half counts but doesnt at the same time
for some unknown reason
uhhh I have no idea then sorry, maybe it's just broken
is it live?
should i just contact someone 😭
if thats a thing
if that's a thing then they'll hear about it soon enough
no i mean like is there a way of contacting someone maybe like a helper to ask them about this
in game through the website like i dont know anymore
It is unless you are on Mac or PS4
it is
It's live. Anyone struggling to catch bone fish. It's just not happening for me.
no way the game expect me to dive 1000+u down deep ocean to dig up fossils
is this a bug?
it doesnt provide stuff for deep dive from previous rewards
could someone finished phase 4 explain to me
Is there a milestone tip for snapshot times? Cus i took prob 20 pics and still nothing
Use a sub lol
Wait the expedition starter yesterday ???
Go to a different system and find bones there then go back
Yuh
That’s why there’s no tips yet nor any farming base yet
Correct
Oh okay thx
yeah, I went to take a shower to clear my head, and that did come up as an idea
Is there quicker way to get a creature to produce dung? I've been feeding them but they just aren't doing it
Been trying for 20mins and still at 0
save and close out your game then relaunch it. whenever i had any bugs in the expedition, i just closed the game out and relaunched it and that fixed whatever issues i was having
Hopefully that will work
i had the same problem. i used the overgrown planet with the ruins towards the end of the expedition and just found a giant cluster of them and threw down quite a bit of pellets so they would keep eating and they eventually started pooping
I think maybe the game was just being buggy because I've restarted and its working now. I'm actually on that planet so shouldn't take long now. Thankyou
i already tried that.. sadly didnt work
no idea. i havent heard of anything like that with the ancient bones collecting but not going to your inventory
they have to be going somewhere since you're picking them up and the game is registering you as collecting them
yea ive had quite a few different bugs during the expedition but nothing game breaking besides being unable to speak to the guy at the dig sites in multiplayer bc there was too many ppl there if that can even be considered "game breaking"
i checked my starship its not there
i also had a issue with the surge batteries and the signal booster
it didnt show me the artifact location
i had to get someone to show me where the location was
i think my save is broken..
are you in a new save or you in your main save?
main
Luckily I'm on switch so I won't get that one. I'm pretty much done with this expedition after I get this dung
go to the anomaly and get out of the expedition and then go do it on a new save before it messes up your main save
if my main save is broken i will break my laptop istg
that was the last thing i needed to finish the expedition
idk how saves work on pc but you might have to load up a older save before you even went into the expedition if that's possible
i dont think thats possible sadly
if your main save is broken
best to ask in nms help about pc stuff. im on console so idk about that
already did
"file a bug report"
i did
if it isnt fixed im going to ask someone to give me their save that they completed the expedition on
i need to do this expedition
leave the expedition on your main save and then go create a brand new save and play the expedition on that
i dont know if this is normal im paranoid now that you said my save might be broken
is that a loading screen?
yes its been stuck for awhile
your game probably froze
make sure you leave the expedition in your main save and that youre either on the anomaly or somewhere else
i left the expedition on my main save and it sent me to the main menu
for some reason
did you do it through the expedition terminal in the anomaly or did you just quit out?
i did it through the options
it normally sends you to the anomaly
no matter the way
i always did it through the anomaly so i didnt have to worry about that
load back into your main save and make sure you're in the anomaly and have your stuff
okay
Hey can someone help me? Made it to pit stop #2 and then got attacked by something looking like a living ship or frigate. What was it?
Had to locate my own grave lol
I've caught 4 legendary fish and no bonefish, I hate fishing
If it was a living ship most likely it was a greifer. Go into network settings and turn pvp off
Thank u what is a greifer? Sounds like a real person mad or something
Ok so in expedition we have to check network stats?
woo finally completed the relic expedition. Would have been a lot easier if every digssite wasn't glitched
dont use the lure bonefish is a uncommon quality fish so it actually lessens your chance
Well that's nice nice to know
People who try to mess up others because they think it's fun, it's terrible but luckily there aren't many in nms
I mean soon as I made it the #2 stop my radar went red and I saw tentacles on something attacking me. Maybe 2 or 3 hits I was dead.
I've had pirates attack every dig site, anyone else seen this? The NPC ones
Yeah sounds like a greifer, NPCs don't kill you that fast
And NPCs can't drive living ships
Did you get your stuff back
Question... I launched the expidition from an existing save. If I claim a starship in the expidition, does that mean I can't claim it in the main save, or are they seperate?
You probably claimed your starship from your main save in the expedition
I haven't claimed them, always just copied them from the expedition at the end if I wanted them. Curious if getting a ship in an expidition means it's considered claimed in the main save too, or can I get multiple copies.
Probably would have to copy it while on main save. Try to copy at terminal while in main save.
I mean, I can do the copy at the expidion terminal. I'm talking about teh quicksilve rmerchant. Can I claim things in an expidition, and still have them avilable when I swap back to the main save?
I suppose I can just back up my save files and test
Idk
Anyone wanna join me in no man sky I’m pretty new I’m on console btw
I’ll text them my friend code
I’m wondering, is it possible to trade for the bone fish to complete the milestone? Or do you have to specifically catch it?
woo
afaik you'll have to catch it
Been playing a month now. Love it.
dont necessarily have to - but doing so will prevent any other player from getting any crazy ideas
Wanna join me?
disable pvp in options.
just keep in mind that some milestones will have to be done solo
Wanna play no man’s sky with me
😊
iow, their dialogs might bug out when in a group
aww, thanks for the invite, but i'm not really a multiplayer, mostly play solo. in any case, i'm available in case any questions pop 🙂
hope you find someone to have fun with 🙂
Yep. Just got back in expedition and network had everything on 😆
Idk what to do can u help me i just started i wanna get a freighter😊
It looks cool
but are you playing expedition game mode then?
Huh?
which did you pick when you started a save
Regular
I picked normal
Got to the second dig site and the NPC won't acknowledge me. Looks like everyone else is running around aimlessly as well because it doesn't work. Then my guy disappears except for his multi tool. I guess I'm waiting for a patch until I can continue.
expedition mode is a separate game mode, and if you're not in expedition, you should direct questions to #nms-questions 🙂
disable multiplayer, try again
Awesome, thanks. It worked.
How do I join multiplayer is it disabled since I’m still in tutorial space station part?
Oh okay thanks
I still don't have the fish
matter of patience; not sure what which planet you're trying, but yeah, remember that planet must have bones on resource list
Anyone wanna ship hunt with me?
part of ship hunting right now is bugged; you'd have to resort to crashed ship hunting
Can u help me find crashed ship?
i think you might be too early game still, but

lol, thought this was on -help
So uh I just sell salvaged data?
@green dew basically, until you start playing expedition, questions go in #nms-questions
Where do I sell?
that's general questions about the game, here is more game mode specific
I have a friend who said there expedition ended prematurely after the first phase, is this a known issue?
So for nanites just refine sentinels goop and inverted mirrors sweet
About to copy my interceptor got my MT already
I finally caught a bonefish! WOOHOO!!!!
Thanks for this, was also looking for an answer
a rare one
Any workarounds or just wait for a fix
I told them to try restarting the game and try going to the primary save and back again from the options menu
Is living stone legs a thing in appearance modifier?
Because I'm not finding them and looking at other people's pics they have them
I'm on the Ancient Avian milestone. I've put all the parts but it's not complete. Do I need to package it?
are they on pc, have any mods on?
I'll check
need to be claimed ofc, but should be there yes
Ok it's a bug then because they aren't even in there to claim
try using some different parts
but you did claim them in exp18, did you not?
I don't have any wings, it's a little confusing since the text SAYS it's identified, without any indication that anythign is wrong. I have arms in the wings slot which I assume is the issue bit it should at least complain. 🙂
So this is the third time this gigantic copper node refreshes as soon as im done gathering it
Like, it replenishes.
are you on switch?
Yes
https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/601899933994373562/
Fixed an issue which cause the living stone suit customisation set not being awarded to Switch players.
just wait for the next public patch and it should be fixed then
seen others in expedition reporting the same when mp is enabled
Perfect I just need to wait for a patch. As always thankyou bk 😊
Yeah MP on, 4th time it just regrew a little.
Guys snapshot in time is impossible 😭 i can’t do it and when i try to make them fall into a hole they either walk in the air or though the ground
I set my "Photo Mode" to 9, then just found a bunch of animals, hit 9️⃣, then went wayyyyyyy up in the air and got a wide-angle shot.
Guys i killed 10 guarding but it still says i only killed 4
What do you need to cook this broth from Phase 4 milestone 6
How do you do that
I’m on console 😅
Has the new expo and update been released for PS4 yet? When I checked last night, it hadn't. Unless the PS4 isn't getting this new Relics update?
I know switch has lol but apparently mac and ps4 haven’t yet at least
ps5 has as well.
That's odd. Then again, I'm wondering if they have finally hit the limit for the PS4 at this point? Each of the last few main updates have really started to tank the performance on the PS4 and seem to make it less and less stable.
In the new expedition my signal booster cant seem to find any ruins. Is this bugged?
@echo topaz Did you mean to post this random screenshot in this channel where the topic is expeditions? Let's try to be on topic here. Thanks
Titan was my first time doing an expedition. I was surprised they run them back to back. very cool
Gardian sorry
You can see when they've run expeditions at #nms-expedition message (or on the wiki, but having it available here is a convenience for looking at it here, obviously)
React to this message if you are one of the players here, who wait for the update on PS4.
make sure you're using the right option on the signal booster (requires surge battery)
ofc, be sure to be in an inhabited system (gek/korvax/vykeen)
recipe: softned marrow+softned marrow, or softned marrow+unprocessed meat
Ohhh, interesting, first time in a long time, you don't have to repair your ship 😅
It feels weird haha
yeah, a bit
Raw meat works too
gotcha, ty!
Np
still having issue with this milestone?
what's the drop rate of the bonefish ? 50 fishs still 0 bonefish
gotta be at night
i'm on an acid planet
make sure to be on the right planet type; if in waterworld, be sure to be fishing at night time; planet must have bones on resource list
also use a Shadow Lure
I might need help with questions and stuff but later
are you using any kind of bait?
Also whats the New expedition abt?
the lure yes
the 40 given
archaeology, fossils
Ah alr
same as always, go to some places, touch stuff
try a few casts without any bait too
it's a rare fish ?
it's uncommon
Once I was at a spot that was deeper than 50m, at night, on a toxic world, it only took me two casts to catch one.
and the deep water confuse me. At my location i'm finishing deep water fish, so it's good ?
@somber jolt you could also try fishing night side on the waterworld planet in rdv4
i'm a rdv 3 on the acid planet
i wasnt getting any luck there, so i skipped milestone and did it after
or take a Station teleporter to somewhere where someone's made a "BONEFISH BASE" 🤷🏻♂️
got it first cast here actually
spent like less than 10 bait
did a few casts without, a few casts with on the toxic and wasn't getting any
dude my game is broken i cant progress in the expedition
i made a new save and tried everything
what do i do atp
what seems to be the issue
||🤘🏻|| ||Holy shit, I take it all back. That was 100% worth it.|| ||🤘🏻||
deep water is 50u + ?
that works, but try finding somewhere a little deeper maybe

just wath a fish "foudn in the deepest water" so shoudl be fine
or look for something like that and fish in comfort
i cant use the signal booster it doesnt show the location of the artifact when i collect bones i dont get any no my inverntory isnt full ive been trying to fix this for HOURS.
i just fished while standing on my ship
what system are you in?
PC if you mean in game the starting system
and on the starter planet?
is mp enabled?
yea
no
what signal booster option are you using?
the one the game gave me
there's two options in the signal booster
make sure you're using the first one
i am using the first one
it uses my battery
but says Nothing
nothing found?
are you using any mods?
no text no prompt
no
What do you need to cook this broth from Phase 4 milestone 6
i mean worked fine for me, but as an alternative, get nav data, then goto station cartographer and get artifact site chart
recipe: softned marrow+softned marrow, or softned marrow+unprocessed meat
i did on another save
wdym?
but after that another milestone doesnt work
everything is broken for me
like jesus christ ive been trying to fix this for hours im so annoyed
@remote thunder ah ok thx i try
when i collect bones i dont get any no my inverntory
did you check all your inventories? have you tried opening quick transfer menu on a ship cargo slot?
Start a new game dude. Why keep trying
i did i checked my starship and everything
You know it’s only going to show you an ancient ruin.. you have to go there and get the keys to get the artifact
something's off here - and it's just bones that you dont get in inventory?
it doesnt show me anything
yea
i can show it to you in a stream
it shows that i "collected" the bones
but i dont get anything and it says i didnt get anything
so for example, you see a notification like this pop, but no items drop in inventory; you sure you're not running any mods?
you're the first person i see reporting something like this
i dont get any pop up
tried verifying game install file integrity?
i did make a bug report too
The artifact is in an ancient ruin which will show up on your hud as a purple icon in the distance
they've been able to get past that milestone, they're stuck on another
i can try it i guess but i doubt anything will change i didnt install any mods or edit my saves
You have to travel to that location, excavate 3 keys in order to open a chest there which has the artifact
i dont see any location marker it doesnt give me any
no i cant
i only completed get to the starship milestone
dm me, and stream
we are ok i should catch a bonefish here ???
You need to look at the top circle of you hud where the NSWE directions are.. there will be a purple icon there called “ancient ruin” use your ship to travel to that location
but there isnt any
yeah that should
try waterworld planet in rdv4 too, remember that must be night time
I'm on the starter planet. I have surge battery in my exo suit. So why can't I Scan for a ruin?
Wait, so the new expedition has started?
probably gonna try to speedrun this expedition if I can
That ooooor I'll just do it in parts. Little bit at a time
got mp disabled? tried to save+restart game?
Yesmp is off; I did re load my save but I never reloaded the game. try that
i never went "blind" into a waterworld before, there's no way to get deeper down without nautilon, which you have to assemble on another planet/system?
Re loaded the game and it still didn't work
actually from looking at the rewards, they don't really fit my theming I'm going for with my character, and they're mostly player cosmetic items sooo- probably gonna skip out on this one
I see someone has a base by a ruin site so Ill just fly there
Can someone tell me rewards?
Anyone have an idea of when this should drop for ps4?
Update already??
Seems okay
oh shit the expeditions already up and running
yep
looks like i'll have to speedrun my chores so i can start it up :3
I can see people using the Vy'keen's "Templar" title with that armor lol
I still don't have the option to scan for ruin
have you tried to verify game files? build another signal booster
this is maybe a dumb question, but can you transfer an Atlantid (purple system) drive to the Expedition and use it?
is there a guide to verify game files?
i think your ship spawns with the drive installed
steam lib, right click nms, properties, installed files, verify
i think it's because you already found it, you're just not able to locate it on the HUD for some reason
you might try flying around the planet a bit and see if it's easier to spot
@royal jetty also, make sure you're on 5.61
right click No Man's Sky in the Steam game list --> Properties --> Installed Files --> "Verify integrity of game files"
Im confused assembling fossils, I put a skull but I can put like 7 different tails . Is that normal? I can just assemble some frankstein ?
that's a bit strange yeah, iirc when i clicked on head i only saw heads selectable on the menu
Do i have to buy th eliving stone customisation?
No I mean, I selected a head then I proceed to other parts. But I can select seven or so tails for the tail
Cus i have unclocked some but not all
It’s not species specific but more like “is it avian? Then slap it”
So it made me confused
ah because you have that many tails on you?
Yeah
yeah
Thought because they were different tails, I could only select one
you can design it look like you want
Ohhh I see. That’s neat. Thanks !
that's the fun in it, finding or bartering for different body parts
Ok well that was kind of lame I hit H to switch between missions and it only showed up once was active showed up there
Bk201 u finished the expedition?
they should all be free to claim after unlocked - switch right now seems to be missing 2 pieces of the set, but this bug has already been fixed on steam experimental branch
not yet, need to get 40 bones
left that one for the end
U did the photo with the 5 creature?
yep, on the starter system
Is relics an expedition or just an update?
both
Ah.
that ones easy, zoom way out
I finished it rather quickly lol
"The dig" sounds like a quest from FO4
Ok ok thx cus i only have the jetpack unlocked lol
this screenshot worked just fine for me, i don't think it needs to be really zoomed out, just that there's no fauna cut up
throw a pellet on the ground on a planet with a bunch of herd fauna
I did though about that lol thx
they'll all come rushing to it 😄
And i also have a prob withe the stone ghost one i kill more than 5 guardian but i still stuck to 4
Haha nice
Like rdv 5
have you tried just selecting a diff milestone, waiting for a bit, then reselecting that milestone again?
try to find a spot with lots of vigilant stones together
did you happen to get another multitool in the process? perhaps try using the starter multitool?
weird if it was related though, but i guess it's worth a shot?
I did the pellet and the max zoomed out lmao and finally i work hahah
How deep of water for Bonefish
you got past the artifact thing?
yes
it tells me to process softened marrow for broth, except the nutrient processor says there's no such receipe...
I had to make it show up in the box at bottom right
nvm it's 2 of them in separate slots
softned marrow+softned marrow works yeah
ah yea, gotta be the active quest
active milestone yes, but the hint be showing or not shouldn't matter

Any idea why the Expedition 18 Phase 5 Master of Bones mission won't complete?
I have all the bones required and I've built two displays and pacakged both and still nothing
Did u do dig V first ?
Anyone having trouble getting Guardians to spawn?
Idk actually i just did the 80 fossils so i have lot of sapre it basically autocomplete lol
What game version is this?
define "trouble" - you interact with a vigilant stone, and one or more doesn't spawn? are you playing solo?
and mp is disabled?
yes
relics
Basically I interact with a vigilant stone and it says I disturbed the guardians or whatever, and nothing happens
did you modify difficulty settings, especially on foot combat ones
Nope
are you using any mods
One thing I think might be related is that I disabled/pacified Sentinels on the planet
ooh, okay
Not for PS4 yet?
@wooden delta let us know if it did work

thank you 🙂
what for, complaining? lol
Oooh is it out now?
reporting back 🙂
word :p
quick question since this is my first expedition: how do i know what phase i'm on? do i have to complete all 7 milestones of phase 1?
yes
gotchaaaa
And so we wait 
Hopefully less than 16 seconds
you can finish them out of order though
so, you may occassionaly even accidentally finish a milestone from another phase
so definitely open the expedition log and check to see if you have any rewards you can claim
and if there's any milestones you can do in your current rdv system before moving on to the next
and/or if any of those are worth doing first
Anyone seen an ETA or something of the sort for ps4? Pray tell
that said, dig site and assemble milestones should probably be done in order
devs never give out etas
Nit, Phase 2 has Discover Creatures: 0 not a huge deal as I'll see the count in game but my brain is broken now as I tend to see things I cannot unsee. 😂
And thank you for all the hard work of getting these. 🙂
the heck
we'll fix that
How do I do the group of 5 animals
Do one of the expedition planets have a spot
i did it when i was getting bones for first fossil
Use pellet and zoom out
Figured as much, had to ask
use quick menu/creatures/creature pellet to throw pellet on the ground next to a group of animals/in the center of an area where there's animals nearby
lmao, we missed the "1"
it was supposed to be "10"
Ah, there we go. It's one of those silent 1s maybe. ;P
i think the fossil monster might be classifies as sentinels
i killed all the sentinel waves to get the pillar and now the bone guardians don't spawn anymore
thanks @rocky kernel btw
yeah, they do - if you're still having an issue, save+reload to disable shutdown state for example
So i did change multi tool and it did work
But i also killed 2 guardian with my ship
okay, so you're not exactly sure
but that's okay, dont worry
at least we got something to go on
So that’s weird cause then both multitool whould have work
supposedly
Actually my ship kill counted lol
hmm
wait, 2nd tool, not the starter tool?
Yep not the starter one
500 bionic lures better get it
It works withe starter but not the one from my main save
right right - so after you changed to starter tool, and then destroyed one with ship, it counted
Yes
good to know this yeah
Hahahha
(no it was actually a fun expedition, different from the previous ones 👍 )
Christ I caught a child of aquarius haven't even done that on my main 😂
Lmao
the only one i had trouble with was rdv4 and the water planet, i skimmed that by moving on to rdv5, collecting all bones there, and returning to 4 for the milestones
So technically at night your chances are doubled because of the two different kinds of
Catching a bone fish is the last thing i need to do lol
The other stuff is so easy in comparison
if on a toxic biome planet, yes
Fogurexnidnget itntoutnofnrhe way
Fr hahaha
i got it on my 2nd throw and moved on
I skipped it lol i was stuck with the photo
i went 10 casts on toxic, 1 on waterworld in rdv4
you may even try to give no bait a go
I'm on a deep water world in a Dig three planet
Deep water spot
It's toxic and 50 u plus
(this is the waterworld planet i'm referring to btw)
Stonefish is a tease....
In 4th phase?
yep, i skipped the fishing milestone till then
Hmm I may try that if I don't get it soon
yeah, at least it's another option 🙂 remember that has to be on the night side only, if not toxic
I found that
haha
Player bases in expedition can be very helpful
good good
Lmao
Now just to excavate ....
Ooh ghost i hated that 😭 i carved out the inside of a mountain lmao
remember to use flatten mode, much faster
I'm destroying one of those cube islands 😂
I did it was still too long for my opinion 😅
yeah, this one was a lot, 3500u3
If i’m on a toxic world do i still have to wait till night?
Is anyone else having issues with the "photograph 5 ground creatures"?
Had
was there a solution?
ohhhh thank you
Y arhtiritis is gonna make the rest of that wait I got 2000/3500
And zoom out the photo if u still can’t get 5
Omg same i was like 1000 more 😫
no, toxic is round the clock
Ok thx
oh boy .. whats the fastes way to finish Nose in the Dirt 😦 ?
I caught it after 5 or 6 try loool
Spam creature pellet
Worked for me
find a planet with fauna that herds, throw a pellet on the ground via on foot quick menu
wait for them to poop
I finish it but honestly the autophage stick i cooler imo
But the animation are funny tho
If i exit the expedition can i still collect the reward of the expedition after i exited ?
The customisation reward
Wdym??
Oh u meant sentinels?
Damn
I was alrdy done with Phase 1
While the Sentinels searched me
But i couldnt leave the planet so i needed to restart😭
couldnt save, exit the game , restart and load the save? that should have broke them searching.
Good planet for fishing mileatone
yes, claimed phase and final expedition rewards are unlocked account wide
can be claimed once per character
thanks 🙂
Thx
anyone
what expo is this 18 or 19?
Are transparent striders sought after? Found some just now
Bro the game cant be serious
I was abt to do the 2nd Milestone of Phase 1 but
A freaking sentinel is there rn
Thank goodness that over n done with
18
i need answer pls
i did on waterworld at rv4
oops, sorry, don't know why i missed your question
It's alright bk
i REALLY hate the fishing objectives
I forgot about getting 80 bones ... Damn that'll take a few minutes
no clue, i deleted expedition save after completing
All I have left on 4 digging and bones 😂
ah
Any particular planets have more bones than the others? It’s taking so long to get to 80 😅
some kind of bug happened when i loaded in just now and now ALL of my "The Dig: I-V" milestones have just been auto-completed
Just lots of digging
I asse they thought getting 80 bones would equate to 3500 for digging
oh this again...
That doesn't sound awful?
i highlighted sites on planet in visor and moved between each site in ship
similar bug happened with exp17
it's not the worst bug ever, but now i might have a hard time finding the other rendezvous points because they aren't gonna be marked on my star map
problem is that they'll need to get to rendezvous systems for some things
well
couple options
if you started from new save, restart is an option
if not, push through
anything happens just ask
Ohh
Can I just sell the fossils after I assemble them ?
Or do I need to save for something later on
sell
Rags and Bones - Sell 2.5M worth of Fossils
- Polychromatic Zirconium x10
- Dirt x20
Thanks !
assembling fossiles is awesome
i finished the exp earlier today and loved it, placeable bones and reassembled fossils are exactly what my desert wasteland hideout base needed >:3
2020 screenshot going to become an actual thing, even better
cool
What? Are you talking about the bonefish you need to catch?
Hey guys, im having some trouble with a bug during the expedition. the second quest in phase 4 "principle field agent". I have all of the bones collected but it is not completing the quest. anyone have a fix. playing on Steam
post a screenshot of the tooltip lower right
Sweetspot is 55 to 70u on a toxic planet. There are two you can catch there, one legendary can be caught any time and one B class that is nocturnal.
ty
it disappeared when i finished collecting the bones. here is the log
you can force cycle hints by spam pressing H or dpad left
that does nothing, tried between 2 quests. it worked with one, but not that one
if i sell my bones it brings it back up again
this is the hint i'm referring to; if you haven't completed the milestone, and have claimed every other milestone before it, you should have no problems seeing this
i have done exactly that, every quest and milestone has been completed and collected up to this point. Let me triple check for sanity though
hmm there might be an issue here, i dont remember travelling to the 4th dig point but it says its complete, do you have the name of the system where its located?
Dig IV
System: Oishiv
Planet: Noha 39/W6
Legend, thank you! let me try and navigate to there
okay it's time for me to make my way to dig III, uh
where is...that
luhabug system. okie
Its like finding a needle in a haystack! 😦
if you don't remember being there, but have the milestone completed, you probably have been affected by the insta complete glitch.
same thing that happened to me \o/
thats what i think has happened because it has the 5th done too
yeah, getting to those systems on your own is going to be a pain
might need to make a friend 😄
i'd strongly recommend getting taxied there yeah
appreciate it! thanks for the help 🙂

I like idea behind this expedition but playing it feels a bit tedious for me
what bait should i use for the Bonefish?
can use bionic lure, but some were able to catch without bait. remember, has to be a planet with ancient bones, and if toxic biome planet you can try all day and night, while non-toxic biome can only spawn them at night time
how do i know if im fishing in toxic water
is this toxic water
if planet has fungal mould on resource list, yes
it does lets go
wow
i think i just might have to check out this expedition
are there bone customizations for the exosuit?
bone exosuit looks peak but i haven't started the expedition yet
is there an expedtion for the new update?
on the junior field agent mission, collected all bones trying to land at co ordinates just wont let me, re loaded save, jumped back a save, switched network off and still will not let me land, not even near to the destination
NEW
[19:12]
i can land on the other side of the planet!!!
yes and it's live
yeah, when that happens just try to land like as close as it will let you, or if there's other player bases with landing pads, use those
unless you're on mac
When will there be a new expedition?
!exptime @open grove
In the expedition, I defeated multiple ancient guardians and it didn’t count for “Do not disturb” the counter is still at 0
it's live

Thanks
are you using the starter multitool still, or did you change to a different tool?
Different tool
if you still can, try killing them with the starter tool (move some tech/modules over if needed)
if you can't, or dont want to, try to kill them with your ship
Ive never had this problem before where just not allowed to land ship at co ordinates set by mission
i dont know what i did i just got out of the starship (flash warning)
uhm my screen is stuck like this i even reloaded the save
try to game restart
i did it fixed it dw lol im just pointing it out
also, may want to disable shader cache on steam
its funny
what is that?
issue that happens sometimes
for some reason still happening
even though devs did try to patch it
basically just helps games to not have to process as much stuff on the fly when in game, but sometimes might get corrupted
okay
Experiencing this bug at the third dig site
Can't speak to them, they are underground for some reason
Disable mp, save+reload
Much appreciated

i can land on the other side of the planet!!! any help I would be grateful, 1st time i went there some1 was tinkering with co ordinates and burying the contacts underground using their terrain maniipulator , guess some1 set it as a base
How do you tell if the water you're fishing in is deep enough for the bone fish?
not even near to the destination
land 1000u away, then walk back
ime, toxic biome wasnt doing the trick (at some 60 or 70u deep), so i just skipped that milestone and did it on the waterworld biome planet in rdv4 system
I got it on the lush purple planet in the rdv3 system

Needs a month because of that Bonefish ... 🙂
Lol
Tried a distance too , then the marker disappears off the map
this only happens to me when there's other player bases near the location; so you could go fully offline, as in steam offline (not just friendslist offline), then try again. when i cant land near an objective, i'll make reference points and then land as close as i can - sometimes that's over 1000u away - and then just walk back in a straight line
How am I supposed to get to rendezvous 4? I don't have an atlantid drive.
You're supposed to start the expedition with one
hello i have a question about pvp in expedition 18 someone kills me in the second planet and i cant recover nothing from my inventory
a way to evade pvp?
So everyone got expedition except ps4 
So for the expedition, I'm putting random parts together to finish it quicker
And I just made an INCREDIBLY dumb looking fossil
I think I accidentally destroyed mine thinking it was suspicious tech to install an S class module.
options/network/pvp = no one
click on a free tech slot, can you install atlantid drive?
Don't have the resources.
thanks but how i recover the inventory or my expedition was wasted now?
how many times did you die?
2 time
basically, 2nd grave overwrote first grave
so the original things you had, those are gone, if you didn't retrieve first grave before dying again
why this option is active by default?
no idea, but now you know at least
build indium drive, goto a blue star system
was there an update today? steam is downloading 14gb yet it shows no patch notes, none in community tab either
No bluerpint.
anomaly starship research npc
Anybody know why the PS4 update is delayed?

You could suggest that PvP should be set to no one by default
thanks
yep
thats the problem
and this group is making pk in the second part of the expedition
I'd love for HG to not make PvP the default setting for everyone starting a new save 🙏
same, having seen so many players progress getting lost because they didnt know it was on
I went offline. Will try again tomorrow
come on this group is chasing me
thanks for the advice for real i recovered all
you can also just straight up disable multiplayer
but if was dead one time more
not required to have it on either
What's the Titanic Trophy?
base building part
Neat, what kind of stuff can you get from it?
exp18 rewards that are unlocked account wide, for all saves
ooohhh that some cool stuff right there how long is it going to last for?

i cannot find a bonefish for the life of me
Can someone show a picture for the Protoform skeleton
So I know what parts I wanna use
Dont worry .. you have time till may 🙂
i don’t want to fish for a month 😭😭😭
Rdv3 has a player base
im having trouble getting one aswell
wdym
Hi guys, anyone experiencing not being able to land on expedition planets? Specific the dig site ones
A player did make a nice fishing base ... there I got my Bonefish
this is often an issue in expeditions, just land further away or on any player base with a landing pad
where do i find it
The Target Sweep is being useful but not helpful.
Apparently according to it the closest fossil bee is 1500+u away
Yet I marked one only 130u away
Thats a bummer, thanks
check the planets from space for player bases ... its a toxic planet
Anyone else unable to find fossils on the waterworld in rdv4?
just goto a diff system then come back
That works?
Just warp to nearby systems until you find a better one (what i did)
mark the dig site
Ok
i had all bones needed on me already, collected in a diff system
it insta completed the step
Any suggestions for planets to get Nose in the dirt? It's the last one i need and i'm having trouble getting it
Guys who do you cook bone broth?
i did it on some barren biome planet that had plenty of creatures; throw a creature pellet on the ground using quick menu/creatures
softned marrow+raw meat, or softned marrow+softned marrow
I just got to the anomoly and wanted to grab my stuff.... but its 2800 nanites to copy my stuff? I thought it was free.
Alright, thank you.
Omfg tysm BK 💖 💖
I was never guessing that ;-;
.....im just a bad cook in general lmaoo
that's why we suggest to bring stuff that you can sell or refine for nanites
lmao, i had to ask too 😄
You need to take two softened bones and put them into the nutrient machine, not two in a stack, two separate
Great. I guess it's too late to transfer stuff now if I go back to my main save?
MF. I almost want to start over.
cant
man I always screw something up lol
No need
I don't recall it being that way on 17
You'll be swimming in nanites anyway soon enough
Nah, its been like this since like after exp12
I can recommend checking #nms-expedition message for making sure you bring what you think you should on expeditions. Just nice to have a checklist.
Yeah thanks. I did consult a list on Reddit. Didn't mention this specifically or I missed it. Ah well.
The list I wrote up was partly based on a list set up by bk201, with some suggestions added by others over time too
I kinda did it to have that list myself, but it's not really much more work to publish it here for others to make use of as well
So what's my best way to earn nanites now?
uh. what's wrong with the space station in the Dig 1 system?? I can't enter it. I've already restarted the game.
I don't have the advanced laser so no luck farming
I take about 100 sus Arms packages, open them and sell the upgrades at a station
Yeah I would have had I realized. Too late now.
in that case, i got no idea. Good Luck
Yah more like out of luck lol
#bot-spam message has some useful links
Was able to get the advanced laser, that might help

what class is a bonefish
bonefish is worse
i feel like i’m doing something wrong with the bone fish
i’ve been fishing for an hour
Toxic world 50 u or deeper
yup to both
i wish it only took me 50
Sell fossils at space station for the money one?
yea
could also try the water world in rendezvous4; i was having bad luck on the toxic, got it first try while fishing on the night side
i reckoned, go big or go home, right?
i don’t have any aquatic landing upgraded
😅
complete and claim phase 3 milestone 2, install pre packaged aqua jets
"Process softened marrow in a nutrient processor"
I did so uh
What now?
Am I supposed to add something
iirc 3 Processed meat and 2 softened marrow or reverse
It could tell us that
it tells you to do 2 softened marrow doesn’t it
yeah and that's it
what should i bring for the expedition? i was completely unprepared last time so i wanna be ready this time
softned marrow+raw meat, or softned marrow+softned marrow
not quite
i just fed a herd of animals until they started pooping all around me (and they'll love you so they'll be following you and pooping)
see <#nms-expedition message>
aight thanks 
I used the bionic lures and duped a bunch 😂
how do thanks
this fishing stuff is hurting my brain
does it have to be on a toxic specific planet or can it be poisonous/noxious
any planet with fungal mould on resource list is of the toxic biome
How much harder/longer is this one compared to the last expedition
see <#nms-expedition message>
a bit longer due to fishing/collecting 80 bones
but still well within that 3-6h average
thats good to know thanks bk
i hate this stupid fish
volume
why can’t i CATCH IT
80 bones gonna be annoying asf
i’m looking forward to it after this stupid fish
FINALLY
Welp. Brought my sentinel ship over... then realized I don't have Pugneum to power the thrusters. FML.
is the bonefish found on toxic worlds at all times?
at least now you have fish enough for the rest of the year 😆
I used mine and haven't had to charge anything
Here's hoping. I do have the auto charger
Is there anything we actually need to bring back from the expedition in the terminus
at least for me .. yes ... but others did have no luck with toxic worlds
wait if you claim the multitool while in the expedition do you still get it your main save
Yeah
pretty sure you can buy it at the expedition terminus thingy
You have to get it from twrmonux
what
