[mental geyser]

More sulphide

[chrome umbra]

oh they finally gave the geology cannon a use w these guardians

[fair turret]

hey so im trying to do catch a bonefish quest, I however cannot craft a fishing rod, i claimed the rewards that should have let me get the blueprint so is there another way to get it?

also i have the fishing floater boat thing (this is all new to me i did not play the fishing expedition)

[remote thunder]

did you complete and claim this milestone? then clicked on a free multitool tech slot, and fishing rig isn't on the list?

[fair turret]

yea its just not there but the fishing rig was there and i built it

[chrome umbra]

on that note, its a pic of 5 not five pics right

[remote thunder]

post a screenshot of your multitool tech - did you change multitools?

[lusty slate]

Yeah, geology cannon is great for them. Just don't blow yourself up too

[remote thunder]

did you try para mortar on them already? 😄

[chrome umbra]

i've had it for five seconds and i already want to abandon it

[remote thunder]

yeah, it'll be as expected

[chrome umbra]

nah i don't bring much to expeditions and i haven't gotten past phase 3 yet so i don't have hardly anything

[remote thunder]

they won't be much of a problem really, but paralysis mortar is.. you know, as normal, it literally stuns them down and takes difficulty away almost entirely 😄

[chrome umbra]

as PM always does lol

[remote thunder]

ahuh 😄

[chrome umbra]

i don't like using it much on my main save anymore cause it makes the already easy combat even easier for no real reason imo

[wheat fox]

At the risk of this being a stupid question, can I use the Cargo slots in the Expedition Terminal on the Anomaly as extra storage prior to ending the expedition?

[remote thunder]

after you complete and claim all milestones, expedition terminus inventory slots will unlock - at that point, if you put items in, and save - you could even return to primary (via options/return to primary), and collect items, then resume expedition again, to carry more than 8+24

exp term inv slots wont unlock before all milestones are completed and claimed though, so not before that point

[wheat fox]

Just finished my last milestone a half hour ago.

[lusty slate]

I really should keep a spare package paralysis mortar for expeditions really

I have an expedition care package stash I keep

[remote thunder]

oh yeah, i remember you mentioning it 🙂

bed time for me! 👋 🙂

[lusty slate]

Fusion igniter, hyperdrive upgrades, personal refiner m2, etc

[delicate ferry]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[woeful wyvern]

so far at the end of every year, all the expeditions that happened that year are rerun for 2 weeks. so for the foreseeable future expedition 16 and all previous will not be rerun

[delicate ferry]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[woeful wyvern]

no problem :)

[hollow umbra]

anyone got any tips on how to easily get bonefish, im kinda stuck on this part of the expedition

[misty plinth]

You might consider putting that off until you make it to the next phase dig site system. When you get there it might become apparent what I am hinting at. If I were you I would try fishing at night.

[ancient slate]

Can someone please give me a recap I can use bone broth in, this expedition mission is pain to me

[knotty marsh]

Create two softened bone marrows, put them in your food processor inside two separate slots, create the broth, give the broth to Cronus in the Space Anomaly.

Process fossils to get softened marrow.

[chrome umbra]

didn't realize i could just use my main equipment in the expedition I've wasted so much time oml

[ancient slate]

I tried that, but the mission didn't render as a success

[knotty marsh]

Works with meat aswell:

[jolly drum]

Is there any reason why the name on the Basilisk Crown can't be set manually?

[ancient slate]

No no, like, what can I make with bine broth as an ingredient?

[knotty marsh]

Yeah, the reason is a simple bug. When you try to set the custom name, it changes the name of your first MT instead. You can get around it when you store all your other multitools in a cabinet and leave only the Basilisk. Change its name and then retrieve your other MTs

[proud sparrow]

I really hate fishing as expedition requirements, the RNG is maddening

Is there any bait that catches the Whispering Bonefish easier

[keen orbit]

This sucks can’t even do my expedition now

[chrome umbra]

Rendezvous 3 planet is awful jfc

[knotty marsh]

bionic lure

[proud sparrow]

Thanks I’ll try that 🙏

[knotty marsh]

You're getting it as one of the milestones reward

by the way

[proud sparrow]

Yeah I see it in my inventory

[knotty marsh]

ok good luck then

[jolly drum]

I ran out of bionic lures, had to go into a different bait before I caught one.

[knotty marsh]

it's just RNG, i cought mine on a 6th try

[keen orbit]

I can’t even get to rendezvous 3 my game is cooked

[jolly drum]

So if I want to keep this one after the expedition, it needs to be my only multitool. I probably won't do it then, it doesn't seem to have any clear advantages over my other tools.

[knotty marsh]

it only needs to be your only MT to get around the naming bug. After you change the name, you can get your archived MTs back

use the Weapons Rack to archive your other MTs, change the Basilisk name, get your MTs back

that's pretty much it

[keen orbit]

How do I fix not being able to go to rendezvous 3 and up

[knotty marsh]

or wait for patch, becasue this is a well known issue

[knotty marsh]

Why can't you get there?

[ashen shore]

Hai

[keen orbit]

Somehow my game has completed being there so now I can’t actually go there

[ashen shore]

Does anybody have any reccomendations for tech to bring into the expedition?

[keen orbit]

So I cannot finish my expedition no matter what I do

[knotty marsh]

oh yeah, i've seen this kind of bug reported somehwere, i unfortunately don't know of a solution, other than restarting the exp. Perhaps someone else here knows a workaround, sorry

[keen orbit]

How does one restart the exp

[knotty marsh]

i think you should be able to do it when you go to main menu, and just create a new expedition save

[keen orbit]

Ok

[misty plinth]

I don't understand why not? As long as you can still system hop you can check the pinned messages above for the system you need to get to then check your list of discovered systems and see if it is there. If it is there mark it and make your way to it normally. If it is not there then maybe look for someone to group up with and use the anomaly to form up on them and get there that way.

[knotty marsh]

his game has bugged, it autocompleted some milestones for him

[keen orbit]

Ok I will try and find someone who can maybe help me get there

Would anyone like to group up and help me get to 3 rendezvous since on my end it’s bugged

[knotty marsh]

try also asking at #nms-lfg-or-trades

[chrome umbra]

howso

[knotty marsh]

game has bugged and autocompleted some milestones

[keen orbit]

It says that I have that completed but I have never been

[chrome umbra]

you should still be able to go to the system and land there

[keen orbit]

I can’t

[proud sparrow]

Here’s some suggestions #nms-expedition message

[keen orbit]

Do not know which one it is

[chrome umbra]

oh its not showing the lines to get from planet to planet?

[keen orbit]

Nope

[chrome umbra]

rip

[keen orbit]

Just sitting here at rendezvous 2 with no clue how to get farther since it’s bugged

[misty plinth]

The pinned messages up there ☝️ have the destination locations.

[knotty marsh]

can you get the rewards from the autocompleted miletsones by the way?

[chrome umbra]

if you have a decked out main set already just bring enough items to get 6000 nanites and buy it at the anomaly

[keen orbit]

Nope

[knotty marsh]

then i suspect getting there won't fix the issue, but you can try

[knotty marsh]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/601900285252622500/

So like i've said

Manually getting to the valid dig site location doesn't work.

but read what the reply says there

[keen orbit]

I will just stop playing fro now till they fix it

Thanks for the help everyone

[knotty marsh]

just keep in mind, theres no guarantee for a future fix. Better to just start it over imo

the expedtion is relatively short and easy

[muted crater]

how would i go about getting a picture of a group of five animals?

[potent rose]

Am going to also try experimental

[misty plinth]

Toss some kibble into the midst of some hungry critters and wait for the feeding frenzy.

[knotty marsh]

Are you experiencing the same bug? Let me know if the experimental branch fixes it for you

[sharp basin]

Can someone help me get fossils for the last mission i need around 18 more and Since ive completed everything it doesnt show up on my analysis visor

[wanton fern]

travel to a different spot on the planet

[knotty marsh]

Are you on a planet with ancient bones?

[serene stream]

expedition complete :D

are titan/this expedition not in the role list?

[cold tulip]

Nope, no more exp roles

[woeful wyvern]

yea 16 was the last to have its own role, 17 and later are represented by the expeditionist role

[serene stream]

dang 😔 there is a lot it makes sense

[woeful wyvern]

mhm

[fossil token]

💀

[frosty zodiac]

hello where can i find a toxic world to find a bone fish?

[misty plinth]

In the Dig Site 3 system there is one but you might consider waiting til you reach the Dig SIte 4 system and catch the night time version of the bone fish.

[frosty zodiac]

ok so wait on that one

or do i need to finish it to trigger the 4th

3rd part.

[misty plinth]

No - the order is not locked

[frosty zodiac]

ok

[misty plinth]

Good luck

[frosty zodiac]

ive been looking every where for a toxic world

that has water

most dont have water

[misty plinth]

You don't need the toxic one to complete the milestone - most of us have found the whispering one easier to catch.

[frosty zodiac]

fish anywhere?

[misty plinth]

There should be an ideal and obvious solution in the next system. Water needs to be deep. Well over 50+ u

[frosty zodiac]

how do you tell do you dive in?

[misty plinth]

When you cast your line it should tell you but yes - you can swim on the surface and look down.

[frosty zodiac]

ok ty

[misty plinth]

YW

[frosty zodiac]

tree

[boreal kraken]

is this deep enough for the bone fish? or do i need to make the sea floor units 50+

[blazing talon]

The bloody bonefish

[misty plinth]

I err on the side of the sea floor depth

[blazing talon]

Please HG throw me a bone(fish)

[fallow inlet]

I currently have 16 milestones completed, but not a single phase fully done. I need one more to complete phase 1.

[boreal kraken]

i have 1 mission in the last 3 phases to do

does getting out of a ship with aqua jets put you in the water or on top of the ship?

[misty plinth]

I've been getting out on the top

[boreal kraken]

ok ok

ill have to try that then

[fallow inlet]

Yes, landing on water you get out on your ship.

[boreal kraken]

wonderful

[fallow inlet]

If you have a nautilon and get out when you are topside you will still go to the water.

[boreal kraken]

this is my first time touching anything water related in this game, thalassophobia is a crazy thing

dont really wanna go under just yet lol

[fallow inlet]

You didn't do the last exp?

[blazing talon]

Hooray HG listened :D

Only took me jumping into the sea to wrestle it out myself

[naive crypt]

I am now part of the Galactic Pantology Society

[fallow inlet]

Yay, 17 milestones and finally finished phase 1.

[boreal kraken]

last exp i did was adrift, played a bit when worlds part 1 came out and am getting into the game again

[fallow inlet]

Okay. I started when the Titan exp started.

[boreal kraken]

LETS GOOOOO

what are hadal cores for? i assume water related upgrades

[misty plinth]

I've been donating them to the explorers guild reps - for reputation gains.

[fallow inlet]

I believe they are used for upgrade evolvement with a living ship.

They can also be donated to the guilds to increase rank when they ask for them.

[potent rose]

It seems I have to go into my settings to fix it, I have to wait it out.

I didn't see your message, apologies

[boreal kraken]

beat the exp :D

[elfin lantern]

is there anyone currently on the expedition that has an extra repair kit to help repair a sentinel ship and is able to travel to Amli Tau?

[naive crypt]

[naive crypt]

@summer nest I saw that

[summer nest]

You. Saw. NOTHING

[fallow inlet]

This exp is easier than the last. Despite me not bringing certain things into it that I should have. But with getting 3 things completed from each phase in about a minute. 3 phases left to complete and then one other milestone after the 3 easy milestones, I should be done today.

[oak hazel]

anyone has the coordinates for GPS on phase 4 ? My quest tracker is not updating for some reason

[fallow inlet]

Save, quit and reenter game and see if that fixes it.

[oak hazel]

tried that

oh I actually found it lmao

I just turned multiplayer on and followed a ship

[fallow inlet]

I was gonna say just getting to dig 3 so I definitely didn't have it.

A rare instance of multiplayer helping. Now I would turn it back off.

[oak hazel]

Coordinates for last one are ||+76.68 +148.25|| in case anyone has the same bug

[remote thunder]

looks like that would be dig site 4

[fallow inlet]

Is there a planet in the rendezvous 5 system with water deep enough to catch a bonefish?

[oak hazel]

you are right I was reading it wrong

[sullen meteor]

is it safe to claim the glowing egg from a few expeditions ago now?

[remote thunder]

yep, should be, np

[blazing fossil]

yes, they fixed that quite soon after

[remote thunder]

remember, a planet with bones, and minimum depth is 50u - i think that the vast majority of if not all planets with water will have spots deeper than that

[sullen meteor]

anything in particular I should bring to this expedition?

[blazing fossil]

Can also use terrain manip to make a 50+ u deep hole

[remote thunder]

just the usual basics, see example <#nms-expedition message>

[fallow inlet]

Thank you.

[sullen meteor]

do you start with a personal refiner?

[fallow inlet]

So, after I hit the last 2 dig sites I will just have to fish, collect half of the fossils and then sell them.

[blazing fossil]

No but you get one before the first warp

So its no use bringing one

[sullen meteor]

ok

[faint mesa]

Is it worth waiting for a patch to fix the few issues with the expedition? I kinda want to start, but I can wait 😅

[wraith junco]

I did it on 5.60 and finished it with no problems (ps4)

For safety u can do it on new save

[faint mesa]

I probably would anyway. It's tradition at this point lol.
...although I'm now deleting old expedition saves for that, and it's sad. Some had special items, and most saves are unnamed, so I don't even know from which expedition they are...

[wraith junco]

I keep my old exp saves if they had unique stuff. Nowadays i try to transfer then from exp to main.

U can name your saves

[faint mesa]

I know, I started doing it as soon as the feature dropped, but only for expeditions that happened after that
So... no idea which save corresponds to Emergence, or Cartographers for instance.

[wraith junco]

Emergence was the exp with worm stuff

Cartographers had the white explorer

[faint mesa]

(I always get the name wrong, always)

Cartographers I mostly remember because of the struggles on Gisto Major lol.
It was a fun one... for me. Not quite popular in general I reckon

It's possibly my oldest expedition save

[blazing fossil]

Cartographers is the only expedition save i don't plan on ever removing because of the unique ship modules

I haven't done any other expeditions with unique tech

[faint mesa]

Which one was freighter-centered? That one had the awesome tech for wild warps, kinda like a black hole. I completely forgot the name...
Also there was the one with the mysterious Space Station Override

[blazing fossil]

Polestar?

[faint mesa]

Yes! That one. Awesome tech for freighters. Sometimes I kinda want to save-edit it to my main save lol.

All those special items and techs -- HG could make available as a reward in the Anomaly terminal, like they did with the Historiographical Dosimeter... would make deleting all the saves easier on the soul lol.

[weak rock]

I'm struggling to get the bone fish. Went through all 40 of the bionic lures. Not 1. My lucks atrocious

[exotic timber]

Personal opinion that HG is trolling us with the bionic lure as a milestone reward since it doesn’t actually help compared to a shadow lure (bonefish isn’t legendary)

[vital vine]

Hey Question i have always wondered if i use a sentiniel pillar does that shut the tin cans down for every one on the planet, or just me?

[sullen meteor]

hey, for once the ship isn't broken :p

[weak rock]

So it's worth just using the shadow lure or random fish as bait?

[exotic timber]

Shadow lure let’s you catch nocturnal fishes during the day (while improving chances), while Bionic lure just up the rarity by a lot (though a bit too much that you end up catching legendaries instead of the lower grade bonefish)

[wraith junco]

Imo bionic lure works fine. Got my fish on 10th and on 3rd try on 2nd playthrough.
Most important is toxic planet , deep enough water (50+) and night time.

[sullen meteor]

why does the second milestone direct me to speak with a generic gek npc lol

[fallow inlet]

How toxic does the world need to be to be considered toxic?

I am on a waterwold that it is more toxic than anything, but it is 3.0 toxic.

Which bait for the bonefish?

[raw ruin]

A world is toxic if it has Ammonia and Fungal Mould for the resource and the toxicity is greater than 40 (iirc). No bait is really required for the bone fish, the only condition you have to look out for is a depth of 50u or greater and it has to be nighttime.

There's two waterworlds on RDV 4 that can help your chances. They're not toxic, but I have gotten the bonefish on one of those worlds.

[fallow inlet]

I was just on the waterworld one there and at night and the floor was deeper than adtow. I gave up on it for the moment to get the 3 easy phase 5 things done leaving me with the bonefish, excavation and selling left to do.

Should I sell or donate my intact skeleton to the guild?

[raw ruin]

Selling your intact skeleton can help with the selling milestone.

[fallow inlet]

Duh? Why didn't I think of that? Thank you.

[coral cape]

how deep does the water need to be to catch bonefish

[paper moss]

Real funny. No cooper in meeting system Xifenqj II.
Many thx for Expedition dead end👿

[fallow inlet]

At least 50u

[median ember]

How to get those fish...
I tried over 20 times and still don't have it ..

[worthy hatch]

What are the rewards of the current expedition?

And does this expedition have its own lore?

[feral scaffold]

https://www.nomanssky.com/relics-update/

[mossy axle]

Is it even possible to catch the fish from the third phase of the expedition?
I have already completed all the tasks but I still couldn't catch this fish.

[worthy hatch]

This is actually what I’m more concerned about. I can obtain the rewards through other means if I miss the chance, but if there’s lore in the Expedition, then I don’t want to miss out on it.

My dad has the PS5 put away currently, and I don’t yet know if it’s worth pestering him to hook it back up.

[sullen meteor]

what do electrical disturbances do?

[fallow inlet]

They disturb electricity of course. 🤣

Sorry, couldn't resist. Plus that's all I know.

[sullen meteor]

looks like it just hurts you

yup ow it hurts lol

and it keeps hurting lol

[hollow umbra]

For the living fossil task in the expedition, do you really need a bionic lure to catch a bonefish?

[sullen meteor]

geez it even hurts the ship lmao

meanwhile that gek paleontologist is just wandering around like nothing's happening

...why is the dig site on a planet with no ancient bones lol that doesn't make any sense (especially when it PUTS AN ANCIENT BONE THERE)

[tulip spire]

How much do i need to sell bones to achieve last mission on pahse 5?

[dry patrol]

yeah the fact none of the dig sites are on planets with ancient bones is hilarious

kind of annoyed the one galaxy has a waterworld for its AB planet but none of the milestones give you plans for the nautilus

[hybrid mist]

50, I found a water with a 20 & use the multi-tool to dig it deep enough
It doesn't matter if the deep is natural or man made

[quaint urchin]

Hint... All of the bones are the same, it doesn't matter what planet you get them from.

[dry patrol]

no I know that

[quaint urchin]

Oh, gotcha...

In that case, maybe the objective was to have people figure out how to get the Nautilon.

[dry patrol]

also they made constructs sound like much larger of a threat than they are considering you have to activate them

I thought they would randomly trigger when you're gathering ancient bones from how the update notes phrased things

they're cool fights tho.

[quaint urchin]

Indeed, I liked the bigger one that had a beam weapon.

[dry patrol]

I like that you can blow their limbs off

[quaint urchin]

It was fun watching him dance when I hit him with the Paralysis Mortar. 😂

[turbid lake]

I’m stuck on the “Snapshot In Time” objective in phase 3, does anyone have any tips?

[exotic timber]

Find a group (like big group) of land creatures, feed them, and then snap them when they hang around you (also pick up their poo for another later expedition goal)

[turbid lake]

didn’t think of that, ty

[chilly haven]

Hi! is there someone who can help me with the catching a albule fish part of the expedition, I can't seem to find this specific fish

[mild pelican]

toxic world, at night, deep water, bionic lure.. took me maybe 50 tries others 200 😦

[ashen shore]

ive screwed up and used softened marrow as fish bait now dont have enough for nutrient processor whoops

ive got 2 left

[lusty slate]

Get 5 creatures in a single photo

[chilly haven]

Thank you so much!

[lusty slate]

You can make softened marrow. Put extra bones you're not using in the nutrient processor.

[naive crypt]

Phase 2 complete

[ashen shore]

googled it you have to split in two slots, doesnt say that in game

[fallow inlet]

Sell all the fossils you created and the full skeleton or the ossified cranium

[lusty slate]

The milestone itself tells you. 2.5 million worth. They each sell for about 70k.

[hybrid mist]

I bypassed the water world, got all the bones from other planets in other universe, they didn't need to come from that universe

I completed the expedition today & got 36k nanites and a ton of units

[fallow inlet]

Finally done.

[tulip spire]

I had a bug that it show me like <0 units
But thank you

[naive crypt]

Okay anyone know a planet where I can find a mob of creatures?

Ground creatures to be precise

[remote thunder]

for example, a moon in rdv5 - throw a pellet on the ground next to a group of creatures using quick menu/creatures, just wait standing around

plenty of other planets before that ofc

remember to check discoveries fauna list

[wraith junco]

I sold the constructed skeletons from milestones. Each was around 500k

[hybrid mist]

When you finish the expedition & return to normal, when I copied my starship, did it replace the one I was using or can I scrap it?

[frozen laurel]

The ship is in addition to your other one. Access ships from the quick action menu.

[tender veldt]

pls help i couldnt figurs out how tocomplete this step

[hybrid mist]

Do you know which button that is for Xbox?

[frozen laurel]

I don't, sorry.

[tender veldt]

dpad down > summon vehicle > call ur other ship?

[remote thunder]

which step?

[hybrid mist]

Thanks

[tender veldt]

It wants me to put signal booster and press “scan for ruins. (1 surge battery). But it’s not there. It’s just “locate nearby structure or leave

@remote thunder

[remote thunder]

Make sure you have right milestone selected, interact with the signal booster when the hint lower right says that you need to

We can force cycle hints by spam pressing H or dpad left

[tender veldt]

Oh I see. that’s works now thanks so much @remote thunder

[elfin lantern]

Does anyone have a spare repair kit and is able to travel to the last portion of the expedition

[nimble lagoon]

is that mission of the bonefish bugged????

[keen steppe]

How soon can you get to anomoly on this expedition?

[elfin lantern]

when you jump to dig 2 is when i was able to summon it

[wraith junco]

Like usual. After 1st system jump.

[swift prism]

Found one

[blissful gust]

Is there a workaround for not being able to land?

[blissful gust]

It was second jump for me.

[median ember]

I cannot see any line to dig site 5

Yes objective is selected

[feral scaffold]

Just a little PSA. For anyone else having trouble catching a Bonefish for the 'Living Fossils' milestone go to the green Waterworld planet at Oishiv (Rendezvous 4). Land on the side of the planet that's at night and use a shadow lure.

Hope it helps! 🙂

[elfin lantern]

does anyone have a repair kit i could have to repair my anti-gravity well

[fallow inlet]

I actually finally got it on the other waterworld because as I was leaving there and then realized the night part but was closer to the other one by then.

[distant parcel]

Got a portal address for the system for people, if needed?

[feral scaffold]

I found portals to not work so well during expeditions because we don't have the glyphs

[proud night]

Grrrrrr, still at the first rondevue. Cause I keep getting ruins. And not a excavation site....

[distant parcel]

Mmn, good point.

[raw ruin]

It is in Rendezvous 4

[feral scaffold]

If it works, it works! Great for you. One thing for certain is that trying to catch them on a toxic planet as per the instruction either doesn't work or is a lot more difficult. I just saw that a lot of people on here and on reddit struggling a bit with this one so wanted to share what worked for me

[distant parcel]

I've completed the expedition and as such, don't see it in my save. Was thinking for other players so as to point them to the aforementioned message.

[fallow inlet]

I tried on a toxic world and left that system before someone mentioned using the terrain manipulator to make the water go down past 50. Then the next 2 toxic planets I found had no water.

[raw ruin]

If it was on a separate save, it won't show, but if it was through another file. It will show up. You're most recent systems usually show up first. From there, you can add the associated planet to your Wonders.

[feral scaffold]

Yeah I think the whole toxic planet hint is a massive curveball. I had this issue during the fishing expedition and I think it might be the rng or spawn rate of the thing you're trying to fish is affected by other players entering and leaving that plant/system.

[fallow inlet]

I saw it earlier, plus it was in the pins for this channel. 👍

[proud night]

( sigh ) Cant find a excavation site for the first rondevue

[proud night]

I just cant find one with the signal booster on a planet for bones.

[weak trench]

what's the expedition final reward?

[hollow shore]

Living Stone Customisation Set
See pins: #nms-expedition message

[brazen spire]

I still cannot have this fking fish

[quaint urchin]

You need to go into Space and scan planets until you see one that has Ancient Bones on the list.

[proud night]

I am on one that does....

[quaint urchin]

It took me a long time. I was on a Toxic planet fishing in 40 - 80U deep water.

I have seen recommendation to use the Shadow Lure and fish at night.

[remote thunder]

make sure right milestone is selected, build a signal booster, interact with it when the hint lower right of the screen is telling you to, then do so and pick the first option (surge battery)

@brazen spire also try other planets, e.g. bones waterworld in rdv4 - try with and without bait - remember, if not a toxic biome planet, then only fish at night

[proud night]

@remote thunder I do all that. And it just gives me ruins...

[remote thunder]

yep, that's exactly where you need to be at

get 3 ancient keys, then the large artefact crate

[proud night]

Ohhhhhh I dont go STRAIGHT to it. Have to open this first. OK

[tender veldt]

I have to find all 4 more ancients guardians how do I find em? I completed the junior field agent I found first one. With ancients bone now I can’t find em.

[hollow shore]

Look for the yellow icons with ancient bones to dig. When close, you usually find red markers around, where you interact to spawn another guardian

[remote thunder]

(yellow/fossil bed, red/vigilant stone)

[turbid lake]

anyone have tips on where to catch bonefish?

[remote thunder]

besides the ones i already gave you, not really

is this your last milestone?

[turbid lake]

it’s my last objective so I really need to get it done

[remote thunder]

well, just take a break

[turbid lake]

I can’t let the bonefish best me

[remote thunder]

restart game, see if that juggles its memory

try other planets again

[turbid lake]

good idea actually

do you think waterworlds can be toxic
don’t think so but worth asking

[remote thunder]

a planet cannot technically have two biomes, iow a planet with lithium will never also have fungal mould on resource list

[edgy goblet]

anyone have shadow lurer for me

[hollow shore]

@turbid lake Dig II system, planet Diogent, should be pretty good. Fish at night, at a spot that is 50+ deep (check hud when casting), using Shadow Lure

[turbid lake]

ty

what’s the dig 2 system again

[jolly drum]

How do you find fossils on a water world? The orbital scan tells me they're here, but my scanner range doesn't get to the ocean floor, and I haven't found anything in random points exploring with my Nautilon.

[hollow shore]

See pins in this channel as well

[remote thunder]

don't bother imo; just get bones from a different system, then teleport back to dig 4

[jolly drum]

Okay, I'll wander about a hundred systems away, and look there. Between tips heading me toward things that don't actually exist and having to land hours away from a dig site because of planetary terrain, apparently I'm supposed to do this the long tedious way.

[turbid lake]

I did it

finally

ty all for all of your help

and Gunter let me be blue

[distant parcel]

Huzzah and congrats, finally!

[shrewd onyx]

Just had a bit of fun with Associate Field Agent – had to put bones in storage and retrieve some to get the game to notice that I had the required items. It's completed now, but if I'd reloaded a save created after retrieving the items I suspect that I'd have needed to repeat that.

[remote thunder]

good to know

thanks!

[tranquil oar]

Is it possible to find ancient bones on the water planets in dig 4 system or should I go to another system?

[remote thunder]

just go to another system then back again; remember to visit the station of the system to make it easier to come back

[tranquil oar]

alright, see I'll see it that works

anyone know why My PC crashes when i take a pic for the 5 land animals via Xbox Gamepass :S

[remote thunder]

without digging deeper, not really no. make sure drivers are up to date; anything just ask in #nms-questions

[lime zenith]

What lure should I use to get the bone fish?

[ashen shore]

the shadow lure

[ashen shore]

👍 thanks

[loud solar]

Do you need to use the sonar on a Nautilus to find bones on the waterworld? My scanner only works while standing on my ship.

[misty plinth]

I felt phase IV was a bit of a red herring - I took my nautilon down and hopped out to scan with my visor and never found any bones that way. I don't think having the sonar installed would have served me any better.

[loud solar]

I might just hop back to the previous system, stock up on bones, then go back to Dig IV.

[misty plinth]

I'd like to know if anyone found any using it though.

[misty plinth]

I think that seems a good plan.

That or moving on to the next dig site system and collect them on the way.

[edgy goblet]

where do i go to get bonefish bro

[remote thunder]

@edgy goblet ^ see this post

[agile loom]

Also you go to the Expedition 3 star system's space station and go to the portal, just look at others bases because a TON of people have made bonefish fishing spots on the toxic planet

[edgy goblet]

thanks

[agile loom]

👍

[remote thunder]

@edgy goblet toxic planets are planets with fungal mould on resource list; there's one in rendezvous 3 system. on that one, you can fish day and night, but on non-toxic planets with bones you'll only be able to fish at night in order to get a chance at whispering bonefish. minimum depth needed is 50u (you can see depth lower left of the hud after casting your fishing line)

[supple ferry]

Anyone else having one hell of a time finding reptilian bones?

[hot blade]

Can I run this thing on my main save as much as I want until the timer runs out? Has it always been this way?

basically looking to farm those storage augs and MT expandos

Also if I just copy my ship over and upgrade it, will it have the same slots unlocked in my main save automatically? or will I need to copy it back and have the two ships?

[cold tulip]

You need to copy it back

[cold tulip]

Sure

[hot blade]

Cool so I'll just spend the nanites to get it over once and then upgrade the original

Thank you

I could probably even load up on these blasted bonefish and transfer them back and forth too eh?

[magic belfry]

80 bones is wild

[devout echo]

twas majestic

the new waves on waterworlds are super cool ... if you fish on the top of your ship you're in for a treat

[fallow inlet]

Especially if you are thirsty.

[cobalt bear]

I'll probably do the expedition tomorrow. Does the new multitool reward have anything interesting on it stock?

Looks like..

Mostly a lot of scanner mods.

[stable obsidian]

Quick question

Do you need Bionic Lire’s to catch bonefish

Living Fossils Phase 3

[wanton fern]

you don't need them per say but they might help

[stable obsidian]

Cool did it take a while with no bait? I was kinda rushin this part

😛

Is it legendary?

[wanton fern]

I haven't done the expedition yet

and no it's not legendary

[stable obsidian]

Cool

The guide says to use bionic lures but I didnt bring anything to craft them from my primary save. Its gonna take a minute to get the resources for it too.

Spicy chum should do if its not legendary tho.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1jkow6a/relics_expedition_18_in_3_hours_full_guide/

Im dumb lol

You get bionic lures as a reward from Snapshot in time which the guide tells you to do earlier.

You get 40 too

[mossy herald]

Anyone still stuck or know how to fix the bugged complete a skeleton sections of phase 2 -5
The guy at each digsite doesn't give me a hand in dialogue, only offering standard dialect dialogue
Can't finish those phases or the expedition 🫤

[hot blade]

Questions concerning the ship copy feature:

1. How is the ship copy expense calculated?

• If I want to copy my main ship into the expo, is the nanite cost based on rank? slots?

2. Is the inventory copied or just the ship?

ah okay so y'all don't like headers

Is bold text allowed I wonder?

ah okay

[stable obsidian]

Is it the one where you need to build a skeleton?

With those you need to build each platform first then put the pieces in

Avian Fossil Display

[mossy herald]

Nah it's the ones you have to bring the skeleton pieces back to each dig site. Its mad bugged. The visit the dig site one auto completed without even going to those locations then since them, stuck. Everything else i have been able to complete

[stable obsidian]

Weird. Ive been able to do those but I cant catch a stonefish for the life of me.

I used all the bionic lures did everything in the guide right. Its only uncommon too.

[fallow inlet]

I don't know how 3 hours was a time to complete it since it took me that just to fish and get the last half of the bones I needed. And a week before I got my ship and MT to make it easier. Mostly because I didn't bring the stuff to make it easier.

[fallow inlet]

Um, do you lose your companion egg from the exp if you don't hatch it in the expedition? Because I don't seem to have mine.

[brazen spire]

Expedition finish

[misty plinth]

Companions and companion eggs do not transfer out of expeditions.

[hot blade]

test

[fallow inlet]

Then what's the point of that tease. And I know I was given some companion eggs from Chippy that were rewards from previous expeditions.

[misty plinth]

Some of the companions are expedition rewards you can collect from the QuickSilver merchant on the Anomaly. Sometimes people find fauna they want as a companion from within the expedition and they make bases so they can return when they are done and re-tame them. Often there is more than one way to skin a biological horror.

[fallow inlet]

They need to leave me a copy of the manual in the glove box in my ship.

[lusty slate]

If it's the bone creature egg, the quicksilver merchant will have one for you to claim on your main.

Eggs in the expedition have always been barred from transfering.

[distant parcel]

Dunno how it's calculated, but my s-class sentinel runs approximately 3000 nanites to copy into the expedition.

Cargo inventory is not copied along with it, but tech inventory is.

Basically, I work to gather around 5000ish nanites to copy my ship and multitool into the expedition when I start them.

[hollow shore]

approximately 3000 nanites
Would that be 2800?

[distant parcel]

Sounds right

And I want to say 2200 for the multitool staff I use.

[hollow shore]

Reason I ask is because of 2 values present in the game files for SaveContextTransferShipCostScaleNanites:

X= 1000
Y=2800

This seems to mean min and max value, although unsure what the actual calculation behind it is

Weapon Nanites: X=900, Y=2200 ... so seems right

[exotic timber]

Probably just grade

[hollow shore]

@distant parcel @hot blade Here are the values I found, which appear to be min/max values

[fallow inlet]

Oh yeah. Forgot that.

[distant parcel]

Interesting that there's a units setting there.

[hollow shore]

Yes, I think unused, but likely an option the mechanic allows for.

[mellow osprey]

I'm trying to make bone broth and as far as I have found it says to put softened bone into two separate slots when cooking but how do I put the same item in two separate slots?

[opaque musk]

Anyone have cordinates for the purple stellar planets the expedition was on? I forgot to make a base during and I need the new materials.

[wraith junco]

[opaque musk]

Thank you

[wraith junco]

Np.

[distant parcel]

If you split the stack of items you can put it in two slots

[iron bone]

I've seen mention of folks having issues getting the skeletons together. This was one of the easier things for me to do? At all of the dig sites, there was a planet in the same system that had ancient bones. Going there, most of them had like 5 or 6 bones I could get so at most I only had to visit two bone sites on each of those planets to get enough. Then just got back to the dig site and as soon as I land and talk with the dude again, it would credit me so I could now build the platform. I just build them in that square section at each dig site by the tent and just tossed in whatever bones I came across to make the skeletons.

Once completed and getting the expo milestone, I would turn around and sell the entire setup back to the fossil guy right there at the dig site in the tent.

I had about 20mil in money credits before the end of the expo as a result of this since none of that stuff is needed for anything else in the expo.

I also found that at least on the PS4 version of the game now, I rarely actually had to 'dig' for the bones. Most of the time I could just walk above them and look straight down and excavate them without even using the terrain manipulator? It wasn't that like that before, the relics update has increased the bones found at each site quite a bit and again, they seem to be closer to the surface than before.

Also the opposite would happen with the stone guardians. Many of the locations had their orbs under ground and when I disturbed them, it would say they had awakened, but as they were underground, they didn't actually appear. I'm sure these are all bugs in the PS4 version they just haven't patched out but it did make this expo one of the easiest I've done.

Now the bonefish...that sucked and took forever. I ended up catching mine on the planet with water at the 5th dig site. Found a spot where it was just around 50units in depth and just fished standing off my ship. Took a bit but I eventually got one of the whispering bonefish at night as needed and didn't even use any lures to catch it.

That said, it still took I think nearly a solid hour of straight fishing to finally get it. Got lots of nanies releasing the other fish though.

nanites...sorry.

[wraith junco]

Got it on 10th and on 3rd try on 2nd playthrough. Toxic boime, 60ish u deep water,night, bionic lure.

[cloud igloo]

how am i supposed to get bones to give to Cronus... the bone broth didn't count for that apparently. and i can't remember how i got the bones in the first place xD

[iron bone]

The Bionic lures just kept giving me much larger A class fish and since I knew it was uncommon I stopped using them and then had much better luck at that point. I'm not sure I want to rerun this expo again though...

The bone dish for Cronus is easy. Just give him any of the bones in your inventory.

[wraith junco]

Just dig up bone and give it to him raw

[cloud igloo]

the fossils?

[iron bone]

Yeap

Just have one of the bone fossiles in your inventory and you can select them from the list of dishes and he will give you a comment about the stuff he does for science basically and then you get the credit for it.

So it isn't an actual dish as you might normally need to give him in this case.

[cloud igloo]

ah okay.. thanks xD
suppose its aged, so guess tehres flavour somewhere

[short yoke]

I’m gonna need help pushing through this expedition. A lot of dig sites where I am have been scooped.

[wraith junco]

Tip: For making bone broth u dont need food processor task reward. Just use one beside cronus on anomaly.

[quaint urchin]

Go into the Options Menu> Network and Disable Multiplayer. Then create a Restore Point and reload.

[ancient hazel]

when will the next expedition start?

yoooooo a new one jsut dropped with relics daaaaaaaaaamn

[naive crypt]

Aight time to fish

At night

What time does the game count as night?

[wraith junco]

When its night on planet.

U can see curent hour in mt visor display

[fiery plaza]

Or build a solar panel and look at when it closes

[naive crypt]

Wait what

10 tries lmao

Gg

[wraith junco]

Gg ez

[lost heart]

Anyone else get into a death spiral on the 5th exp planet? I died about 12 times in rapid succession with an “anomalous combat death”. Sadly lost some ship/multitool upgrade slots.

[wraith junco]

No?

[naive crypt]

Well that's phase 3 complete, time to head on to phase 4

[lost heart]

I guess I’m glad it wasn’t a universal experience then. It was a bit frustrating. Logged off and slept on it. Was able to connect without instantly dying the next morning.

[rapid elm]

how does one construct the broth

i got the softened marrow

but when it comes to the broth, i'm at a loss

[solemn bane]

split the stack and put them in two different slots

[rapid elm]

the one thing i didn't try

[acoustic jacinth]

What should I bring for the Expedition?

[peak ibex]

A new expedition

[naive crypt]

I didn't bring anything tbh but I would say bring a fishing rig package, bunch of pure ferrite and creature pellets

[acoustic jacinth]

I brought a lot of Carbon. Is that what it's needed for Creature Pellets?

[naive crypt]

Yes

If you don't plan to use a good explorer, then some warp hypercores

[sullen meteor]

how does this "snapshot in time" mission work? it says "take a single photo capturing 5 ground creatures" and i've done that but it hasn't counted

[sullen meteor]

"catch a fish from a toxic world" the toxic world in this system doesn't seem to have any water on it lol

here we go

[short yoke]

I’ve got until next month, let’s floppin’ go!

[naive crypt]

Rendezvous 3 system has a planet starting with the letter L, its a toxic world with bones and has water

Deep enough water to fish

[sullen meteor]

ligart prime, yes. the first one I noticed was orksop lol

this milestone is a pain tho, I've already used up my bait. is 50-60u not deep enough?

[trail musk]

OK; I am getting proper annoyed RN, what actually constitutes "deep water", I thought is was 50u +

[hot blade]

appreciate it! Thank you!

[sullen meteor]

I've found 92u, still no luck

also, why does the ui say depth: 92u, sea floor: 71u

[patent sage]

Does anyone know if the ruins building parts are completely RNG? i have all but 1 pc and the last 15 memory stones have only given nanites .

[sullen meteor]

I finally landed one... ironically, even though I'm on a toxic world, it's a whispering bonefish. lol

[distant parcel]

Still, congrats!

[sullen meteor]

the 85th fish caught lol

on to phase 4!

[prisma tundra]

It’s usually cheaper to claim an expedition reward ship if you have any, for example, I claim my starborn runner for free (or 1400 nanites) compared to the 2000+ S class sentinel ship that I primarily use on main save, my multi-tool is only 934 so I bring enough things to turn into nanites for that tool, which is an S class & very versatile

[hot blade]

Can you claim it over and over on the expedition?

I'm prepping for a grìny run

[prisma tundra]

Technically yes, but not at the same time, you’d have to scrap the tool or ship them copy it again

[nova solar]

Would the game ever redo expiditions

[trail musk]

Got a whispering bonefish at night, toxic planet, magpulse lure, 53.5u deep.... about 50th cast

[hot blade]

Ah no I mean if I get it from QS Vendor like you say, can it be redeemed again for that save?
That's what I mean I guess

[patent sage]

it redoes them often

[nova solar]

Thanks for info

[patent sage]

@nova solar Usually after an expedition ends and before new content begins.

[prisma tundra]

Afaik, no, can’t be redeemed multiple times per save, but expeditions that branch off & start from a primary main save can collect both in the expedition and in the main save

[hot blade]

Ah yah
So I would just bring something for the nanites and claim it
I'm gonna test with my S class ships to see if their costs change based on inventory slots

[prisma tundra]

Yeah, either refinable material or tech to sell

[hot blade]

The plan is to grind out as many Storage Augmentations as I can and up grade every ship I have. Then grind some more extras
So I'll transfer all the Blue boys back, upgrade my ship and then copy that ship for the expo
This strat falls apart if ships with more slots get more expensive tho

[hot blade]

Ah you think that max value is the 2800 then?

[hollow shore]

Yes, this appears to be the case

[hot blade]

bet
Thank you for your hard work! d(^_^o)

[royal tundra]

Man! That bonefish quest!

[hot blade]

fr fr
I'm hoping for my next runs "owning" a bonefish will count

[limpid nimbus]

Anyone know how to complete the snapshot in time milestone?

[remote thunder]

approach a group of animals, quick menu/creatures/creature pellet to throw a pellet next to them, wait for them to come feed, stand idle next to them, then photo mode

[sleek estuary]

Hello guis, i need help! I have just bought the game and i am confuse about a thing. So i am playing with a friend and we don’t know the differences between play game, and multiplayer host a game. Please can someone explain me?

[limpid nimbus]

How do I capture the photo? I'm on xbox

[remote thunder]

basically, in NMS there's no need to "lobby" like in some other games. whoever's going to be the "host", loads their character via Play Game option. whoever's going to be the guest, waits for the host's session to pop in Join Friends, clicks on it, and then selects a character to join

[remote thunder]

try this

open photo mode, then press the Xbox button on your controller and then immediately return to the game

alternatives:

entering photo mode) pressing the Xbox button, backing out and pressing A

or

To capture a screenshot instead, (enter photo mode) open the guide and press the Y button instead of the X button.
Note The screenshot is made when you press the Xbox button . Pressing the Y button saves it.

[sleek estuary]

Aaah so we started to play directly from multiplayer session. That means we shouldn’t?

[remote thunder]

it's okay, but not really the usual way. when a player joins an ongoing session, they get spawned in the host's current system, so it's a way to meet up fast

[limpid nimbus]

Ahh ok that helped thank you

[sleek estuary]

Aaaah, so it would be better to create a new character play on our own and if we wanna play togather just join one another session. But how are we able to manage a common base or something like that in this way?

[remote thunder]

i'd suggest that if a player wants to make sure that they can return to a specific system, they should drop and claim a base computer in that system, so that they can return without relying on multiplayer. there's no shared base ownership, so only when the owner of the base computer is online and in the system will others have permissions to build (or not, depending on in game options/network settings options).

[sleek estuary]

Hmm, so if i will join his system, and bring a base computer, i will be able to fast travel there, right?
But if my friend is offline, would i be able to see his base?

[remote thunder]

right. if friend is offline, you'll be able to see their base in that system only if they uploaded the base (interact with base comp, upload: can take up to 24h to be available to others). (note: that said, there's an issue atm that doesnt let players downloaded uploaded bases, or doesn't show uploaded bases when a visitor is standing right next to them)

⚠️ No Man's Sky - Doing Quests in a group

Playing in a group can cause one or more players to experience issues or bugs when progressing quests, such as the main Storyline. Some of these issues are listed below.

• Waypoints not appearing on the HUD;
• Waypoints moving or jumping planets when you get close;
• Destinations being thousands of lightyears away;
• Quest destinations fail to provide the correct dialogs for the current stage;
• Primary ship getting accidentally reskinned to a different ship;
• Getting trapped on the other side of a portal;
• Getting trapped in a star system without access to both an hyperdrive or a teleporter/Space Station.

Some of the above issues can be difficult or even impossible to fix with just in game steps. Already having access to the Space Anomaly can help in some cases, but it's generally best to ignore quest progression when playing in a group.

📖 Did you know? Also known as The Artemis Path, the main Storyline was implemented before Multiplayer came to be a thing. It is intended to be run solo.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[sleek estuary]

I see, so there is still work to do in this case.
How many computers am i allowed to build or upload?

Or maybe how do i download his base?

[remote thunder]

you're allowed to build and claim up to 400 base computers per save, but only 1 uploaded base per planet per account, with a limit of 3k parts for each uploaded base

[remote thunder]

that's just automatic, when you approach/teleport in

[sleek estuary]

1 uploaded base / planet means 400 uploads on 400 planets?

[remote thunder]

pretty much. not many players get to that anyway, so it's normally a high enough limit. we can reupload a base after it's been uploaded the first time ofc, for example to make sure latest changes we did will also be visible by other players after reupload

[distant parcel]

There's a global part limit as well, yeah? Can never remember the number off the top of my head though

[remote thunder]

yeah; 16k parts per save, for all our bases, including freighter base

[distant parcel]

(global per player/save, I mean)

Thought so

[sleek estuary]

Another question, if other players are able to see my uploaded base, are they able to raid it?

[remote thunder]

they're able to take resources from it if there's any to take, but not delete anything or modify terrain - besides, them taking resources if there are any doesn't affect you in any way

[sleek estuary]

Aj so it is not like stealing my stashes and do on?

[shrewd onyx]

They can access their storage via your base.

[sleek estuary]

Aaah so friendly environment

[remote thunder]

most another player could take from your base would be resources in a supply depot, but they'd not be able to access your storage containers, no

[remote thunder]

just make sure to disable pvp in game options/network settings

[sleek estuary]

So in conclusion, if i will join my friends session with a computer in my inventory i am able to save my base near him?

[sleek estuary]

Definitely the pvp is off for the moment

[remote thunder]

you don't need to have the base comp already built. after you're in the system your friend has a base in, you just go down on the planet nearish their base, and build a base computer usng your build menu, then claim that base computer, to be allowed to build more parts.

[sleek estuary]

Okay so parts means blueprinds, walls, and so on?

[remote thunder]

yep

[sleek estuary]

Well thank you so much for your support! It helped me alot. Do you mind if i’ll keep your user so i can disturb you with questions maybe? 😆

[remote thunder]

sure, feel free to - i'm almost always around though, and there's always people around to help in #nms-questions too 🙂

[woven shadow]

Shoot. I warped to another system and still can’t summon the Space Anomaly. I guess there are other things I have to do first.

[sleek estuary]

Good to know, i ve played for abour 3 hours and i am thinking on not going to work tomorrow 😂.

But it helped me alot, now i know that i can play alone without doubt that my friend is not online and so on. But what about the main story questline, should i do it first?

[remote thunder]

did you claim all milestones you could so far?

[woven shadow]

No

I jumped the gun a bit

[remote thunder]

main story often considered the introduction+tutorial, besides unlocking some goodies - yeah definitely

[remote thunder]

what milestones from phase 1 do you still have unclaimed?

[sleek estuary]

Amd am i able to do it co op woth my friend ? Or it is solo?

[woven shadow]

Most of them LOL

I have done 2 out of 6

[remote thunder]

solo, yeah, they werent meant as a amultiplayer experience

[woven shadow]

I guess I should do those

[sleek estuary]

Is it long?

[remote thunder]

i can tell you that i only noticed that i had anomaly access by the time i had done 3 warps.

[remote thunder]

nah, a few hours of play

[sleek estuary]

Thank you so much for everything!

[dusty elm]

Will I need the Hallucogenic Grubs for anything later in expedition?

[remote thunder]

can just sell 🙂

[dusty elm]

I always hesitate selling the Gek Relics, ok to sell too?

[remote thunder]

yeah

[jade elk]

Does anyone know how to do the photo mode challenge for phase 3 on Xbox? Do I need to take an Xbox screenshot of 5 land animals in a group? Or just 5 random ground creatures ?

[remote thunder]

Do I need to take an Xbox screenshot of 5 land animals in a group?
yeah

throw a creature pellet on the ground next to a group of animals, let them gather up

we can throw pellets via quick menu/creatures/creature pellet

[jade elk]

Okay thanks 🙏

[woven shadow]

This ship only jumps 1 star at a time?

Ugh

Can’t wait to copy my main save ship

[fiery plaza]

One of the reasons I hunted down a sentinel ship early on :p

[remote thunder]

be on the look out for hyperdrive upgrade modules, or yeah, copy in upgraded ship - don't forget atlantid drive from starter expedition ship, if the ship you'll copy in doesn't have it.

[woven shadow]

Oh thank Atlas. I can summon the space anomaly now.

I will be able to get the nice things I need and deserve

[remote thunder]

btw, don't exchange the starter tool, keep it as well

[abstract sorrel]

the bonefish task is driving me nuts

catching everything but

[fiery plaza]

Also be aware that if your main save ship is a sentinel ship, you can't move the atlantid drive to it, you'll have to build one. Something about Aeron matrix refuses alien technology

[sweet knot]

I know, same here. Used about 150 bionic lures already

[remote thunder]

try other planets with bones; remember that if not toxic biome planet, has to be night time; try without bait too; i got mine on the bones waterworld planet in rdv4

@sweet knot ^

[remote thunder]

weird; that's probably something to report via zendesk

gtk, thanks

[sweet knot]

I got to farm to make more lures. That takes such a lot of material to make

[fiery plaza]

Yeah, I think I still have a save with a packaged atlantid drive, I'll write down the exact message for a ticket

[remote thunder]

try without any bait for a while, night time

try shadow lure

[dusty elm]

I was wondering about this, got stuck in last expedition not knowing what to do. Where do i get the Atlantid drive?

[woven shadow]

Whew! There we go. I was able to install all the exo-suit slots I packed

[remote thunder]

in expedition, either devs give you the ability to craft it at some point, or you're able to store it from an existing ship, or you're able to copy a ship with it if you started from existing save

[fiery plaza]

Your starter ship in the expedition has one, otherwise you can learn the blueprint from the Nexus

[woven shadow]

I have copied over my main save ship

I don’t have to ride around in a jalopy anymore

[dusty elm]

That's the exact reason why I bring a ship now, I'm very spoiled!!

[woven shadow]

I need to sell some of the Nanite stuff I brought with me to have enough of those

I always bring a bunch of suspicious packets and open them and sell most of what’s inside

Oh, and stasis units.

But that won’t be all, I gotta get myself a freighter too

[dusty elm]

Oh yes, I need a freighter too. I've got to take the time to learn how to get a better freighter then my old 'C' class.

[woven shadow]

I like to have one to act as flying storage basically

[dusty elm]

Oh gosh yes, it's my moveable home. I've not taken the time to build it out much more then functional stuff. I want a town and a farm on the out skirts.

All on one freighter lol

[wispy needle]

Need some help getting to the fifth dig site, idk how but my game said I completed it while I was digging at the fourth site

[dusty elm]

Just bought the Atlantid drive at Nexus. They're making it tough if you don't have a bunch of nanites, glad I brought upgrades to sell.😀

Where's an easy place to get one living glass?

[remote thunder]

this post <#nms-expedition message> has the glyph addresses and coordinates of the dig site systems and planet locations. you could get a taxi to dig 5 system, and from there there's probably going to be uploaded bases near it.

[remote thunder]

in expedition, there isn't an easy place to get it - unless you can spot a mission on a mission board with it as reward. you'll probably end up just crafting it, unlocking the blueprints needed from the anomaly synthesis laboratory

[wispy needle]

Thank you

[remote thunder]

!starcablink @wispy needle

[unkempt kraken]

@wispy needle https://discord.gg/WgUdnbZJjh

[remote thunder]

or ask around #nms-lfg-or-trades

[fiery plaza]

Turns out that's fixed in this morning's Experimental

[remote thunder]

the one we didn't get any patch notes for?

[fiery plaza]

Yep

[remote thunder]

interesting, gtk as well, thanks

was thinking of giving it a go actually lol

guess i can ease up on it at least

[covert pawn]

Does anyone have a spare Atlantid drive they’d be willing to part with?

[remote thunder]

can't transfer packaged tech or modules unfortunately. at best, someone who has living glass to spare. if not you could also farm the mats to build one

[covert pawn]

I was afraid of that

[remote thunder]

indium and atlantideum are more or less easily obtainable on your own

[covert pawn]

Yeah, the glass is the hard part

[remote thunder]

try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades , or use service bot https://nomansapp.com/

[covert pawn]

Thanks

[astral badge]

is anyone else unable to teleport to anyone elses base in this expedition? It just says "Unable to download base" when trying to use the teleportation terminals....

[cold tulip]

Hola BK
Anything good i should bring for this exp?

[remote thunder]

the basics will do 🙂 this <#nms-expedition message>, and some repair kits

[cold tulip]

Ty!

[remote thunder]

the station terminal, or the anomaly terminal? might be just ghost bases, especially if you have multiplayer enabled. have you tried to just save+reload, and retry, with a refreshed teleporter list? this ofc, if pause/discoveries/lower left, connection to ods server is active

[astral badge]

station terminal, I saved and reloaded the whole game and refreshed new bases, and still none of them can be travelled to with the same error!

looks like I gotta rely on placed communincation pods to fly to if I can't teleport to any bases...

[remote thunder]

is the connection to the ods server active? did you double check?

[dusty elm]

I see the same thing, 'Unable to download base".

[astral badge]

ODS? I'm still seeing players run around and their ships flying around, its just I can't teleport to bases, or access any of my former expedition rewards or quicksilver purchases

[remote thunder]

pause/discoveries/lower left

[astral badge]

still active it says

[remote thunder]

then probably just a server side issue cc @dusty elm

[astral badge]

hopefully the missing expedition and quicksilver stuff gets fixed soon too

[remote thunder]

yeah, both rely on working server side components

@astral badge , @dusty elm are you both on steam, maybe?

[astral badge]

Playstation 5!

[solar galleon]

a tip for those of you starting any expedition: Activate a sentinel fight, kill all 5 waves of sentinels, destroy the sentinel capital ship, then get a sentinel ship. Sentinel ships are really useful in expeditions and will be so much better than your starter ship.
Just a random tip I thought I'd post to help those of you who need it.

[unkempt kraken]

@solar galleon probably an easier and faster way for sentinel freighter spawn:
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> How to easily spawn Sentinel Freighter

Note: This only works in non-outlaw systems.

• Save+reload first.
• Repeatedly shoot the space station till wanted level 4
• Then pulse boost away from the station to lure sentinel ships away from it (we do so to avoid the infinite sentinel ship spawn behavior, we can't get to level 5 by just shooting the station alone)
• Destroy sentinel ships till wanted level goes up to 5, just wait for sentinel freighter to spawn.

(How to destroy it: fly inside the shields, shoot both shield generators on both sides, then just shoot it pretty much anywhere till it blows up.)

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

also, it seems that for now at least, for anyone not currently on steam experimental branch, we can't transfer packaged atlantid drive and install it on a sentinel ship. should be fixed on the next public patch

[crystal kettle]

anyone got a crystal sulphide they could spare? tryna make the exoskiff w/o leaving the system i'm in xD

[dusty elm]

I'm Xbox

I'll try to save+reload now. AT a space station so a good time to try again. brb...

[solar galleon]

i tried taking the drive to put in my frieghter but it wouldn't let me. I read online that you could put a ship's atlantid drive in a freighter, but yesterday seemed to prove me wrong. Is there an extra step I'm missing? I need my freighter to have all the drives because it's my main method of long distance FTL travel.

[fiery plaza]

I was afraid of that. Hopefully that fix makes it to public soon

[remote thunder]

Crystal sulphide often drops from glowing mineral (buried mineral formation) or sus packets goods (buried caches)

[remote thunder]

nah, freighter has its own purple star system tech, called resonance matrix

[solar galleon]

how do I get that????

[crystal kettle]

yea I guess I'll just farm for a min. on the waterworld in phase 4 system to try catching a bone fish, and didn't bring any tech for underwater breathing -_-

[fiery plaza]

Should be able to buy the blueprint with Salvaged Frigate Modules at the terminal on your freighter bridge

[remote thunder]

imo, don't bother, too high of a research cost

Get matter beam if you want, but I really don't think you'll need resonance matrix

[stuck spear]

man sucks...im gonna end up doing everything but the bonefish quest...just dont have the time

[fiery plaza]

Yeah, it takes quite a while to build up that many SFMs. Worth it on your main save, but not on an expedition save

[remote thunder]

have you tried different planets?

[stuck spear]

for like two days now

granted only like 3-4 hours a day but thats all i have

[remote thunder]

remember, if not toxic planet, then only night time; try not using any bait at all, or try shadow lure. maybe this one, in rdv4 system?

[stuck spear]

lost all my stuff trying to get the stuff to make the nocturnal bait and ran out of all my other bait

just bad luck

[remote thunder]

try not using any bait at all, fishing at night on any planet with bones, but i'd suggest the waterworld above

very easy to get real deep

[stuck spear]

i have been following all the criteria even went to the planet on everyone is talking about on reddit...nothing

[remote thunder]

What planet was that, if you don't mind me asking? I don't really do reddit

[stuck spear]

It was the toxic planet in the 3rd dig site system

Also the water world at the forth dig site

I'm just gonna finish everything else and come back to it, crossing fingers

[remote thunder]

have you tried either of those, at night, with no bait at all? yeah, also, sometimes it's just the game playing hard to get - skip that milestone for now, come back to it later

@stuck spear also, have multiplayer disabled.

[solar galleon]

it says you need to do "in stellar multitudes" but to do that you need to do "they who returned" but how do i start "they who returned?"

[stuck spear]

Only at night, never have multi on, and using and not using bait

[remote thunder]

nah, in expedition 18 you should be able to to just unlock it from the bridge

[remote thunder]

leave it for now yeah, come back to it later, also do a game restart to juggle its memory

[stuck spear]

Like I said, just bad rng I guess, I'll have to come back to it.

[solar galleon]

really??? do i need to be in the expedition to do that or can i just do it from in my main save? (I've completed the expedition)

[remote thunder]

nah, freighter in non-exp18 (or non-exp17 too, when it ran earlier this year) cannot unlock resonance matrix through the bridge upgrade terminal; resonance matrix is unlocked at the same time atlantid drive is in those cases (at some point during in stellar multitudes)

remember can always check !faq-purplesystems in #bot-spam

[solar galleon]

but i read somewhere that in order to start "In stellar multitudes" you need to complete "they who returned" but to get that quest you need to 'reset the galaxy' in the atlas questline, which i didnt do. Does that mean I cant get it?

wait cant another player just give me the packaged version of that drive??

[remote thunder]

regardless of the option you took at the end of the main storyline, you still complete it either way

if you got new beginnings in your Log, regardless of the way it got there - you've completed the main storyline

[dusty elm]

Regarding not seeing other bases. Here's what I see with multiplayer disabled & after save + restart.

Still cannot see others bases at space station or space anomaly

[prisma tundra]

When you click “my bases”, then that’s only your bases, click “all” or “featured” at the space anomaly to see other bases

[dusty elm]

I did and was the same

[prisma tundra]

Huh, interesting

[dense hull]

abt to try my first expedition my ship sucks i just finished getting the glyphs and the main story quest

[quaint urchin]

There were lots of complaints about bases getting in the way of planet names in Expedition 17. I wonder if HG did something about it?

[dense hull]

is this valid

[quaint urchin]

Of course. You can start an expedition from an existing save or new save and it is still possible to complete them.

[dense hull]

okay word

can anyone help explain how it works doing it from my main save

like cargo and such

[dusty elm]

Just took this pic at space anomaly clicking all. Only show space stations I've visited and those other bases that's always there.

I'll turn on multiplayer and see what happens

[quaint urchin]

Here's a post I made on Reddit with a lot of details: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1jnpdfs/comment/mklslxt/?context=3

Here's another one for what I like to bring: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1jo6wfs/comment/mkpkbm4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[dense hull]

thanks so much

[prisma tundra]

Huh

[prisma tundra]

Oh if you’re not in multiplayer, that’s why

[remote thunder]

as i mentioned before, yeah, there's some weird issues with ods server

[dim grove]

i believe the way they handled this was adding in the new planet marking feature from the discoveries tab

hi bk 👋

why are you orange now

[remote thunder]

you're orange too! (server april's fools joke)

[dim grove]

ohhh

i was always orange i’m on the orange level role :3

[remote thunder]

😄

everyone's orange

[prisma tundra]

The pins has a good list of what to bring from a main save if that’s what you’re doing

[dim grove]

this exp was pretty chill, you wont need much

[remote thunder]

also a list of every milestone and their rewards, allowing one to plan ahead

[dim grove]

maybe bring some extra lures

[prisma tundra]

That’s what I did, I brought some lures over

[dusty elm]

Your right 😃 and when you try to download it it takes it a while to get off that screen saying downloading, then it changes to warp to base. I learned something new, thanks!!

[prisma tundra]

You’re welcome!! I suppose I never noticed an issue like that because I always play with multiplayer enabled

[dim grove]

how did you go with the expedition?

having mp on halved my framerate in the rdv systems

i had to turn it off ):

im not sure if it was the bases, the people or the terrain edits

but it also made planets take ages to load and i couldnt land for 5 or 10 minutes

[prisma tundra]

So far, for me, no difference in performance, even on expeditions when in mp

[dim grove]

wow

what’s your graphics card and settings?

[remote thunder]

that laggy feeling kinda depends on whether everyone's at the same area, if there's lots of other players in the instance, what are they doing, how fast is one's network connection

[dim grove]

hm ): my internets pretty sucky since im aussie

[remote thunder]

then not at all surprised that you get better performance with mp off

[dim grove]

sad

guess i’ll turn it off for expeditions

[main cairn]

loading in players and keeping their positions updated impacts performance, but a powerful pc can overcome it

[solar galleon]

I'll check that later. Thanks

[prisma tundra]

Intel (i5) Iris Xe Graphics (Integrated GPU cause laptop), and lowest graphics settings I could do, so everything set at standard, along with certain settings turned off

[ivory wasp]

How deep does deep water need to be to capture a bonefish? I've fished through three nights now...

[marsh brook]

When does the Relic expedition start?

[remote thunder]

50u at least - though i said go big or go home, and went fishing on rendezvous 4 waterworld with bones

[remote thunder]

it has already

[marsh brook]

I'm in game now, it's not an option

[remote thunder]

probably issues with online discovery services server; what's the number you see on the main menu, lower left?

[ivory wasp]

Agh I'm on that world but the water is only 40u deep where I am... I'll fly around a but

[woven shadow]

Okay time to do more Expedition!

[remote thunder]

on this one? dang, you found the spot

[woven shadow]

Actually I need a freighter

[remote thunder]

load a save, pause, discoveries, lower left, is the connection to online discovery services server down?

[ivory wasp]

Oh no I'm on loma, I'll go to that one

[remote thunder]

remember, on non toxic biome planets - such a case - only night time fishing

[marsh brook]

just 1

[marsh brook]

So I can access it from my main save, just not from a new save.

[ivory wasp]

Yeah I've got a pile of 9 moon turtles so I'm doing that right at least 😔

[remote thunder]

it wouldn't be that - even if they had 15 saves, it'd still show "exp available", just not let them start a new save

[remote thunder]

go back to main menu now

[marsh brook]

yeah, just needed to refresh. I'm good, thanks 😉

[dense hull]

bk ur the goat bro

no mans sky guru

super helpful

[remote thunder]

nah 😄

[ivory wasp]

[ivory wasp]

Is it possible to get a bonefish without bait? Because I'm out of bait

[wanton fern]

yes

[ivory wasp]

Huzzah, finally caught it. Only took like an hour 😭

[carmine seal]

Where can I find an acient guardian?

[misty plinth]

The stones above a bones/relics site. Should have a red icon when you use your visor.

[carmine seal]

So, saw one, attacked it a bit, and another player killed it, there were two of them, guh

[edgy goblet]

cronus just ate my bone marrow soup then i didnt get achievment

any ideas?

[wintry void]

Dunno, I just gave him a bone

Uncooked

[edgy goblet]

what

what

wat

wt

w

you mean just a fossil bone

[junior finch]

[prisma tundra]

yes, apparently the bones themselves give the milestone

[hexed badger]

where can i find a place to take a picture of 5 ground creatures

[hollow meadow]

pretty much any planet that has animals. There's tons of species that roam in a herd

[hexed badger]

what planet has the most herds

[spring niche]

maybe i am being dense but how do you return to the GPS field office for Dig I in milestone 1?

[hexed badger]

select the milestone or whatever it is and it should give you a marker on your hud on where to go

[quaint urchin]

I did mine on the Starting Planet. I read through the milestones and tossed out a few creature pellets to gather them up. Took the picture and then waited for the poops for the other milestone.

[cobalt bear]

blegh

ive dug up like 4 complete skeletons

complete except for the tail

im not convinced the tail exists

oh, just got the title for collecting 20 bones

[misty plinth]

The Dig Site 1 location details are in one of the pinned messages above ☝️

@hexed badger The final dig site planet had numerous fauna if you haven't gotten the photo by then.

[surreal raven]

hey, anyone know how to find fossils on a water world?

[exotic timber]

Better off finding a not-water world

[surreal raven]

i guess, but the closest planet with fossles is the water world

[exotic timber]

Jump to a different system (or even older rendevous, the fossils are not unique)

You can in theory excavate 5 sets of each parts in your starting system and then just tick off each milestone

It’s not worth the hassle trying to find fossils in a waterworld

[surreal raven]

i guess, i primarily wanted to preserve the scientific integrity but i know that doesnt REALLY matter

[misty plinth]

@surreal raven I took a nautilon down just to double check and I couldn't find any on that planet. I think there are shallower spots but unless another player already marked them they aren't worth the effort seeking them out.

[surreal raven]

darnit

[solar galleon]

doing expo 16 need to find an anomolous planet am in rendevous 2. All planets in current system are: Xeno-colony, Doomed Jade planet, Doomed Jade, Forsaken, and Foaming. Are any of these anomolous?

[surreal raven]

how do you amke bone broth?

[knotty marsh]

Cook some ancient bones, next put them in two separate slots inside your food processor, cook again, profit.

[cobalt bear]

dig sites have the annoying propensity to spawn bones under the bottom layer of the planet you're not allowed to excavate

[lusty crest]

Why is my rdv 2 and 4 are so different to others? Is my game bugged?

[cobalt bear]

hey, quick question regarding nose in the dirt

Why? Just... Why?

[cunning sandal]

Do anybody know when you can get to the space anomaly cuz I've already warped like once or twice. Not going to do much for me cuz it's all broke. But I still need to go there.

[cobalt bear]

after the first warp worked for me, though it took a good 10 seconds before it became available

[cunning sandal]

Yeah once again it's broke for me

I really wish they would fix the bugs on the Xbox version

Not only can I not get my expedition gear from the space anomaly. Now it won't show up now lol

So here's a funny thing on this one I had to go & Warp to a second system for it to show up. And I still can't get any of my expedition gear that I had from past expeditions. This bug started when they updated to world's part 2

[cunning sandal]

Thank you for your help 🙏

[high mortar]

I'm not sure if this is right channel, but i'm searching for someone who can give me warp cells, because i forgot to take it to expedition

[fallow inlet]

Also, if you see a couple animals, throw a pellet or two down and any there should go for it giving you at least 5 together.

[dim grove]

why not just make some?

[high mortar]

Uhh, it takes a lot of time...

[dim grove]

fair enough

[wraith junco]

I switched to interceptor ship as soon as i could easy fueling, long jump range, high storage. There is dissonant system close to starter system.

[bold nebula]

I never take main to exp lol I alway start new game with the expedition and delete it once done as everything is unlocked account wide less stressful for me dont have to worry about taking anything or bringing it back and most of dont have worry about looseing my main to a bug

[hardy geyser]

Anyone know where to get the bonefish I’m at the planet Ligat in the same system as the 3rd dog site but I can’t fish it is it wrong area or just unlucky?

[wraith junco]

Toxic biome planet , 50u+ deep, night time, bionic /shadow lure for to maximize chances

[hardy geyser]

Hmm guess time to try shadow

I did all that but still none guess prob a lure problem

[fringe agate]

planet at rdv4 has been helpful for some, listed in the pins

[hardy geyser]

I just got it in 3 with shadow lure 💀

Well thx for the tips yall

[serene karma]

Completed the Expedition last night, then passed out exhausted!;😂

[hardy geyser]

Also can you transfer companions to your main save?

[wraith junco]

If u have glyphs u can go back pick it up.

[acoustic jacinth]

How in the Hell can I do the Snapshot in Time milestone?

[remote thunder]

approach a group of animals, quick menu/creatures/creature pellet to throw a pellet next to them, wait for them to come feed, stand idle next to them, then photo mode

[stable obsidian]

I went through all 40 bionic lures to get the bonefish but got it in one try using a shadow lure lol.

[acoustic jacinth]

Got it. Should I throw more than 1 pellet

[remote thunder]

normally 1 is enough, they'll stay tamed for a bit, unless there's a predator species nearby and/or you're going around mining stuff

[woven shadow]

So, I got a freighter. But the amount of salvaged frigate modules I brought with me (60) is not enough to get everything I wanted to get.

Maybe next time I should bring a piece of freighter hyperdrive tech with me so I don’t have to buy it.

Anyway the last thing I did was run around on a gas giant getting quartzite and crystallized helium.

And sodium flowers.

[remote thunder]

you're definitely on the journey 🙂 have fun

[stable obsidian]

Quick question

For the Nose in the Dirt milestone collect 20 Dung. You just need to wait like 2mins after feeding with creature pellet right?

Theres not a more efficient way to complete milestone?

[frozen laurel]

Throw a pellet, a group of animals arrives, throw another pellet, collect dung.

[stable obsidian]

Forgot you could throw pellets

😭

[frozen laurel]

One pellet, many animals.

[stable obsidian]

I was feeding one animal 😦

[frozen laurel]

Also take a photo of the group of animals for the other milestone.

[stable obsidian]

Already did that

Now I see you can get both milestones at once tho

[remote thunder]

small "tricks" to get stuff done faster - always pays off to review milestones of all phases and what their objectives/rewards will be 😉

try and clump/chain milestones

[acoustic jacinth]

Yes! I did it! I got the Milestone!

[acoustic jacinth]

How do you catch the Bonefish

[remote thunder]

there's 2 kinds of bonefish at least that will count for the milestone;
a) one type only spawns in toxic biome planets, but can spawn at any time, day or night
b) the other type spawns in all biomes that can have water, but only during night time
try with and without baits, if during night time can try shadow lure.

Afaik, you need 78 (or possibly a bit more due to worlds pt 2 update) to unlock everything, so that makes sense

[atomic cave]

that is a side quest that might be of interest.

[mellow osprey]

Can I keep my expedition character when the expedition is over?

[remote thunder]

started expedition run from new save? yes

[mellow osprey]

Awesome, 👍

[exotic spindle]

Has Expedition 18 already started? If so, where can I start it? Expedition 17 is still running on my terminal.

[edgy goblet]

EBTETET

[prisma tundra]

?

[prisma tundra]

yes, it started last week, be sure to be up to date to see it

[exotic spindle]

However, I can't see the expedition. Has anything changed regarding that? I haven't played NMS in a few weeks.

[prisma tundra]

I'm not sure why you aren't able to see it, it is supposed to be available to everyone

[woeful niche]

Wondering if this a known bug(?): I selected the Dig IV rendezous mission, opened the galaxy map and no Expedition Route was shown.

[exotic spindle]

I will first do the missions for the new skeletons

[edgy goblet]

galaxy map was all green and white for me last night

its just glitching right now

[prisma tundra]

do you see an expedition marker in free explore mode?

[woeful niche]

Nope.

I had gone off the "expedition route" when this happened. When I went back to a station that was on the route all was well. This has never happened before.

[tiny ermine]

Hey guys quick question.. is there any point of exploring during the expeditions? Do you get more rewards at the end? Last expedition was my first and I speedran it so I wanna be sure I’m not missing out on anything this time around 🫡

[frozen laurel]

Yes you get more rewards. Here's a list:
#nms-expedition message

[remote thunder]

known issue: glitch auto completes all not yet completed rendezvous aka dig site milestones. if you can still reload a restore point to before it happened do so, if not, you're going to have to get taxied to the rendezvous systems you still need to go to. this post <#nms-expedition message> has all the glyph addresses and latitude+longitude coordinates you'd need. you could get a taxi in #nms-lfg-or-trades , or just through starcabs (!starcablinkin #bot-spam for an invite to the server)

[woeful niche]

Thanks. I went back to a prior station and the route was available on the map. And I did have one milestone uncomplete (bonefish) from Phases 1-3.

[remote thunder]

to be clear, the glitch is only going to insta complete dig site milestones themselves but not others

(which then basically prevents player from seeing expedition route pathline)

[woeful niche]

ok. but it was interesting that just moving to another system and then opening the galaxy map did fix it

[remote thunder]

yeah, that sometimes can happen - perhaps when too far away from actual destination, not really sure

[woeful niche]

I've always wondered how the expedition path is determined. Does it take into account the drives equipped?

[remote thunder]

it should yes

[woeful niche]

ok. thanks.

It clearly doesn't take into account the LY range. You can always skip systems it shows as the path if you get upgrades to extend your ship's range

[remote thunder]

oh yeah, hardcapped on distance

[upper lintel]

Hey just wondering if any else is having problems with the group photo challenge?

[remote thunder]

problems in what way?

[upper lintel]

I've taken around 30 photos now of groups of 5 or more animals but it's not completing the challenge

[remote thunder]

what platform are you on?

[upper lintel]

Ps5

[remote thunder]

have multiplayer disabled, then open photo mode, press the SHARE button and take the photo from there for it to register.

[tiny ermine]

Ty 🙏🏾

[upper lintel]

I have multiplayer enabled so that'll be the issue, appreciate the help

[remote thunder]

make sure that creatures aren't like, phasing through each other, or one behind another - throw a pellet on the ground, they'll come feed, then stand by you, looking at you - that's probably the best time to do it

[upper lintel]

The positive is that I've thrown so many creature pellets down trying to get that photo that I've completed the dung sample challenge

[stable bronze]

Heres a quick base i made for bonefish fishing - i caught one and already have a visitor 😄 Good luck!

[woeful niche]

The cooking milestone does not recognize building a nutrient processor room on a freighter as meeting the milestone requirement so you don't get the instructions on how to create the bone broth.

I suppose the milestone says build a "nutrient processor" not "nutrient room" (or whatever it is called), but still...

[remote thunder]

yeah, agreed, should register when at a freighter base with a nutrient processor room built

or an exoskiff

[limpid nimbus]

Is there a way I can transfer the phase 3 reward to my other save?

[crystal kettle]

maybe from the atlas quicksilver merchant?

[remote thunder]

phase and final expedition rewards are unlocked account wide, can be claimed once per character, any character under the same account, even after expedition has ended

[limpid nimbus]

Ahh ok cheers to the both 👍

[astral badge]

How do we offer up Cronus the bone Broth? The list of items for him to taste is taken up by raw ingredients and creature pellets.... no matter if the food or ingredients are in my inventory, ship inventory, or ingredient storage!

[wraith venture]

#nms-expedition message

[astral badge]

It's not giving me the option to as you can see

Unless I go deleting everything edible but the bones I guess...

[remote thunder]

for example, swap bone broth with scaly meat, "physically" in your inventory

basically, cronus picks random specific inventory slots that have edibles in them

[astral badge]

the items he's picking are in my nutrent processor ingredient storage, not my inventory,

[remote thunder]

put the bone broth in the same nutrient processor slot where scaly meat was

then interact with him again

[astral badge]

tried that, he kept picking the same things

[remote thunder]

pull all the 3 items he has chosen on the dialog to your exosuit, then interact again - still the same 3 options?

[astral badge]

yup, still the same 3 options

[remote thunder]

then, now swap bone broth with one of the three, and interact again

[astral badge]

tried that still the same

[remote thunder]

resummon anomaly, try again

have mp disabled if you have it enabled

i don't know of any other workaround besides deleting everything

swapping used to work just fine

[astral badge]

Had to delete every possible ingredient that wasn't bone based before he would pick them

I mean fair on a lore perspective, but annoying for the expedition goal

[remote thunder]

weird indeed
