[crystal kettle]

wondering if money spent on hiring frigates in the expedition will be "returned" when completing the expedition and going back to the main save, or if it's just a sunk cost 🤔

[prisma tundra]

Depending on the frigate expedition, the length, the type, the difficulty, etc, it will pay off itself within 1-3 mission afaik, I get about a million units each time and I send out 3-5 per day I’m online

[remote thunder]

<image>

[crystal kettle]

ah wonderful! so yeah, 2k nanites when converted

[prisma tundra]

Bk, I’m pretty sure sinix is referring to frigates going on expeditions

[remote thunder]

freighter and frigates wont themselves merge into primary

[crystal kettle]

(plus whatever expeditions are completed)

[remote thunder]

bonus nanite rewards on merging 🙂

[crystal kettle]

yeah @remote thunder I figured they wouldn't merge since freighters don't

[prisma tundra]

Ah, ok

Still, frigates pretty much pay for themselves unit wise

[remote thunder]

yeah, if a character is sitting on a ton of units and has a freighter, might be worth just hiring a bunch of random ones

oh yes, very much so ofc

[crystal kettle]

just hired a decent pirate one, but I'm on phase 5 so probably won't get much use out of it

[remote thunder]

nah

[crystal kettle]

already spent the credits but was just curious

[fierce horizon]

So did they fix the tracking bug with expedition dig sites auto completing which makes them unfindable?

[woeful niche]

~~We can get the Basilisk Crown staff from the QS vendor after we complete the expedition, correct?~~Nevermind. I see it now at the QT vendor

[remote thunder]

not that i can see

[fierce horizon]

glorious, how much longer is the expedition event?

See Pins in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam

[fierce horizon]

ok, so awhile ty, but I might just start over and rush the multitool and pray it doesnt happen again

[remote thunder]

i'd strongly recommend keeping multiplayer disabled at all times - if after you load in it's already enabled, disable it, and at the first opportunity you get to update restore point save slot, return to mode select and load up again. should be ok then, i at least didn't have any issues.

[fierce horizon]

That's what I did, and it still happened

[remote thunder]

weird yeah

i'd suggest sticking to the same strategy though

[fierce horizon]

only 10hrs not that much time lost, but still annoying

[remote thunder]

i'm sure you can go a little faster this time around 🙂

remember - try to upgrade your hyperdrive as soon as you can - i ended up resorting to two b-class hyperdrive modules bought from stations

[fierce horizon]

Oh yeah, I know all that, I just run around while Im at work during downtime lol but ty

[dense hull]

is everyone having bugs for the expedition?

cuz i’m abt to start it and i don’t want all that stuff you guys just talked abt to happen

[fierce horizon]

oh yeah, but if you turn off mp you should be fine

[dense hull]

how do i do that im new

[remote thunder]

once you load in, pause/options/network settings/multiplayer=disabled; would suggest also disabling pvp at the same time

[dense hull]

do this once i’m in the expedition?

[fossil verge]

I have a bug, hoping someone can help:
Windows 10 / Steam / current stable+experimental branch, latest c++ executable

1. After I reached the first dig site the expedition completed the tasks for reaching all of the dig site, so I cannot tell where dig sites 2/3/4/5 are.
2. After I collect the fossils for a biped I get no indication of what to do next, assembling the biped resets the task to collect fossils again which I've done several times.

Screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/r8Rl7Ik

[mellow osprey]

I just finished the expedition. It's my only save. Is there anything I can do to turn this into a non-expedition save now without waiting for the expedition to end on its own?

[remote thunder]

1. known issue; can you still reload restore point, or did you already updated it after it glitched? strongly recommend raising a bug report about this. that said, this post <#nms-expedition message> has all the rendezvous system glyph addresses+latitude and longitude coordinates of each rendezvous.
2. try to collect the bones it wants, but instead of assembling, throw them in storage or dump them, then wait for the milestone hint to reset and ask you to collect them again - then collect them from a different system than dig site 2

on 1), if you started expedition from new save, might just be best to dump this run and start again, keep multiplayer disabled

[remote thunder]

complete and claim all milestones, it should autoconvert

[mellow osprey]

Thanks

[fossil verge]

thanks @remote thunder I'll give that a try

[latent forum]

Did they patch out the dupe glitch?

[limpid nimbus]

For the written in stone milestone it tells me to go into space and scan the planet for memory stones but I went to a bunch and none of them say they have a memory stone any tips on finding 5 of them?

[remote thunder]

you'll need a ruin world

@limpid nimbus ruin synonyms in beige, there's one in each rendezvous system

[remote thunder]

sorry i don't know

[fossil verge]

@remote thunder no luck on solution #2 unfortunately, thanks for the advice though

[remote thunder]

yeah, that might be glitched because of the insta completed milestones, not sure. strongly recommend raising a bug report on this when you get a bit of spare time

https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[fossil verge]

gotcha, thanks!

[limpid nimbus]

Ahh ok thanks

[brisk bane]

Where is that cheat sheet ?

The whole thing would love a copy

[remote thunder]

[frozen laurel]

Oh, new one.

[remote thunder]

probably going to try to rework it a bit

and will be in faq-biomes

[frosty zodiac]

hello witch world is the relic planet in the 5th area?

[brisk bane]

awesome thank you!

[remote thunder]

see this post <#nms-expedition message>

[edgy goblet]

is the galaxy map broken for everyone or just me?

mine just is foreveer green. All the prompts like select course and that. Just no planets or stars. Just blank and green

any ideas?

[remote thunder]

have you tried completely restarting the game?

[woven shadow]

Hello today we are doing TEAM

[limpid nimbus]

For the nose in the dirt milestone can I feed any creature or does it have to be the boney ones?

[remote thunder]

any creature that can be fed and drops poop basically

basically, any normal-ish looking animal will do the trick

e.g.

[limpid nimbus]

Ahh ok thanks lol

consolerestrt yeah

no cache clear

ill give it a go rigt now

lets see

and i already reported it to hello games

yeah still broeken

gonna check if its still broken on main save

[remote thunder]

can you post a screenshot of it?

or a picture with your phone

[limpid nimbus]

How would I go about transferring the rewards to my normal save do I have to collect all the rewards then transfer it over?

[remote thunder]

talking about these rewards <#nms-expedition message>?

[limpid nimbus]

Ahh yes I was looking for that lol

Thanks again hahaha

[remote thunder]

those can just be claimed from quicksilver shop in other saves

so you basically complete and claim all milestones, phase rewards and final expedition reward

that unlocks the expedition terminus slots

at that point, put stuff in

if you need to bring more than 8 tech and 24 cargo, don't end expedition

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Additional Expedition Transfers

Additional transfers of Tech + Cargo, Starships, and/or Multi-tools

• This can only be done after completing and claiming all milestones, phase and final expedition rewards.
• These steps can still be done with an Expedition save that has optional community milestones still unclaimed.

Sort through all your inventories, determine what you want to bring back to existing save.

• Items that you'd bring just to sell for units or nanites can be left in expedition save exosuit cargo - they'll get automatically sold for units or nanites, depending on item type, and resulting balances will be merged with existing save later, when you press "Finish Expedition" later.

Carefully follow these steps

1. Interact with Expedition Terminus in the Space Anomaly.
   Do NOT press "End Expedition"‼️
2. Add up to 8 tech + 24 cargo items, then exit/back out of terminus interaction.
   The currently equipped Ship and Multi-Tool will be available to copy when interacting with Expedition Terminus back in the existing save.
   -# If Expedition Terminus inventory slots aren't unlocked at this point, there are still uncompleted and/or unclaimed milestones, phase or final rewards.
3. Enter+exit ship to update Restore Point save slot, then pause, go to Options menu, press Return to Primary.
4. Again interact with Expedition Terminus: take items out, copy Starship and Multi-Tool.
5. When done, enter + exit ship to update Restore Point save slot, then press "Resume Expedition".

Steps 1-5 can be repeated multiple times.

guys

pls help

[remote thunder]

with?

[limpid nimbus]

That's weird the computer didn't let me transfer anything

[edgy goblet]

i wrote it all above

[edgy goblet]

no mb

on my main save ( non epedition) its fine

[remote thunder]

were the slots locked out still?

[remote thunder]

try teleporting to a different system, then try again opening galaxy map

[limpid nimbus]

I figured it out lol mb thanks for your help on some of the milestones

[remote thunder]

always feel free to ask 🙂

[hexed badger]

how the heck do i find bones in the 4th system? the only bone planet is a water world.

[remote thunder]

just go to a different rendezvous system and get them from there, then return to dig site 4

[edgy goblet]

k thx

[celest pelican]

Hey would anyone be willing to Give a Bonefish? I've gone through like 80 lures trying to catch one on tons of planets but I'm having no luck at all getting one

[remote thunder]

try not using any bait at all, and fish night time on a non-toxic biome planet

[celest pelican]

That works???

[remote thunder]

for example, rendezvous 4 waterworld planet with bones

[remote thunder]

yeah, just rng

can also try with shadow lure

[celest pelican]

Alright thanks a ton!

[edgy goblet]

IT WORKED

u the goat

honestlythanks so much'

[remote thunder]

happy we could help!

[sly sedge]

Anyone else having trouble getting to the 5th dig site? My galaxy map won't allow me to select Expedition Route.

[carmine seal]

So I am trying to catch a bonefish, anyone have one of the planet where they spawn by dig 3?

[remote thunder]

there's a toxic biome planet with bones in that system

[carmine seal]

is that the planet or the moon?

I couldn't find water on either

[edgy goblet]

and how do you search dung samples

[sly sedge]

There's a toxic planet with a lot of water, and I followed the communications stations to a small island that turned out to be the perfect spot to fish.

[carmine seal]

(Grumbles in low spec pc)

[edgy goblet]

im so close to being done expo guys!

[remote thunder]

known issue; can you still reload restore point, or did you already updated it after it glitched? strongly recommend raising a bug report about this. that said, this post <#nms-expedition message> has all the rendezvous system glyph addresses+latitude and longitude coordinates of each rendezvous. could get taxied to it

[edgy goblet]

i caught bonefish first try in a superheated storm

waves were wild on my skiff

How do you search dung sample?

[remote thunder]

@edgy goblet ^ see this post about dung samples

[sly sedge]

Thanks.

[remote thunder]

<image>

[carmine seal]

I wish I could see the water

[remote thunder]

looks like there's a storm overlay on as well. try pulsing to one of those player markers there

btw, i'd suggest keeping mp disabled, or at the very least, make sure pvp is set to no one

[hexed badger]

whose idea was it to make us mine out 3500 meters of ground

[remote thunder]

remember to use flatten mode instead

[carmine seal]

Ok, So I found water following the communication stations like you said, I think I found the island you had as its literally just an oval ring above the water and then NOTHING BUT WATER, would you have any lure recomendations?

[remote thunder]

can try bionic lure/mealworms/dangling orb during day, or shadow lure at night time

can even try no bait at all during night time

[hexed badger]

you just saved me 1-2 hours probably thank you

[hexed badger]

how to make bone stew

bone broth*

[remote thunder]

softned marrow+softned marrow

[dense hull]

did most people experience the bug

[remote thunder]

which one?

[dense hull]

just wondering

the one with dig sites

[remote thunder]

oh, ime, quite a few

[celest pelican]

Okay so yea still 0 luck with the bonefish, I'm willing to trade if anyone is willing to trade a bonefish?

[remote thunder]

that wont' work afaik

to complete the milestone i mean

if this isn't your last milestone, go complete the others

then come back to fishing later

perhaps after a game restart

remember that there's a minimum depth, 50u at least

[dense hull]

bk did u do the expedition no problem?

[remote thunder]

yep, no issues to report on my end, pushed through in just a bit over 3h30

[dense hull]

what a beast

multiplayer enabled as well?

[remote thunder]

nah, always solo

[dense hull]

i’m just gonna say fuck it and do it

alright bet so i’ll just disable multiplayer rn

or once i load in

[remote thunder]

yeah, after you create save/load in

[dense hull]

also if i don’t finish and gotta like do something can i just leave the game normally and i’ll load back into the expedition where i was b4 right

[remote thunder]

sure, yeah, just remember to save (enter+exit ship in system space station would be my recommended spot) before leaving

[dense hull]

bet

[fierce horizon]

lmao, Ive restarted THREE times now, and the moment I find the first dig site, it auto completes every single one of them and I cant progress

[remote thunder]

damn, not sure what to say to that really

[fierce horizon]

like I get things happen this sort of bug should NOT have been missed

[dense hull]

u doing jt without multiplayer?

[fierce horizon]

yep

[dense hull]

Fawk

i’m fucked

welp fuck it

finna try it regardless

[fierce horizon]

like, you can choose which parts of the expedition to complete right? you dont have to go in order?

[remote thunder]

all i can say is that ime, with mp disabled from the start, i had no such issues. i played with the starter ship and multitool, did not copy any gear because i started from new save

[dense hull]

damn and u did it in 3 hr 30 minutes😭😭

[remote thunder]

dig site milestones should always be done in order, but besides that, yes, you can literally select a milestone from a phase ahead and do that one, for example because you want to prioritize getting that reward. some milestones will require completing and claiming other milestones before.

[dense hull]

bros a beast

[remote thunder]

was my first run, fishing takes a bit, gathering bones takes another bit, but i'm fairly confident i can do sub 3h now

[dense hull]

you probably can

do u just enable multiplayer and shit right after u end the expedition

[remote thunder]

nah, i don't need to see other players for anything

[dense hull]

oh but i can though right

[dense hull]

😭😭

[sly sedge]

That's the issue I'm having. I did the first 3 prior to today, and as soon as I logged in today, it did the last 2. Now I can't find my way to the system for the last one.

[fierce horizon]

I cant even make it to the 3rd

[remote thunder]

gonna have to get taxied if you want to get to those systems, but it's probably going to give you an issue with fossil milestones

[dense hull]

are expeditions usually this buggy

[fierce horizon]

doesnt work like that, uif you get this bug even findit in manually wont give you the progress

[remote thunder]

you can enable mp then ofc, just disable pvp at least - imo, you could enable it after rendezvous and related milestones are complete

[mental wing]

Finally finished the expedition

[dense hull]

i’m just gonna disable pvp and multiplayer once i load into the expedition and enable it once i finish

once i hopefully finish that is😅😅

[remote thunder]

having run all 18 expeditions so far, and all the reduxes - no, they're not

[sly sedge]

I'm gonna put the expedition away for tonight. Maybe they'll have this bug fixed by tomorrow.

[fierce horizon]

It's been a week, if something this big was gonna get fixed it would have already been done.

[sly sedge]

This bug didn't exist yesterday though.

[fierce horizon]

It's existed since the start of this

[remote thunder]

i've seen HG extend expedition duration because of bugs like this

twice, in fact

[sly sedge]

Not for me. I was able to do a phase a day without any problems. It's when I logged in today that this bug first showed up.

Well, not logged in, but you know what I mean.

[remote thunder]

mp enabled or disabled?

[sly sedge]

Always enabled.

[fierce horizon]

It's week one, maybe they get it done but Ive wasted my whole day trying to get this done. And good for you? but this bug has been active since day one, plenty of posts about it.

[sly sedge]

We're talking about the same bug? With auto completing the dig site milestones?

[remote thunder]

i'm pretty sure this is the kind of bug that can progress main storyline/atlas path quests when one joins someone that is in the anomaly

[remote thunder]

yes, but multiple players have gone through without a hitch

probably more have completed without issues than the ones who have been caught in the bug

[hexed badger]

what planet is the relic world in the final system? i cant seem to find it..

[dense hull]

bk why don’t you have multiplayer on😿😿

you hate seeing other players

[remote thunder]

<image>, in beige, the ruin world synonyms

[remote thunder]

no, it's not like that, it's just that i've been playing for long enough to know that unpredictable stuff can happen when mp is enabled, especially when it comes to quest/mission (which is what expedition milestones are really, missions) progression

[fierce horizon]

uh...so I just had a whole fleet disappear, pirates and all in the middle ofa fight

[remote thunder]

rare bug, have seen it reported a handful of times maybe

[fierce horizon]

good lord, a 1m 32s pulse jump, might be the longest Ive had

[remote thunder]

yeah, that's pretty far

[cunning sandal]

I always disable pvp and multiplayer. You have a better experience and it's less choppy

You can still see all the bases and everything so that's no worry

[idle pond]

How tf do I take the 5 animals picture on Xbox I've taken a hundred photos of a dozen animals all crowded together and it doesn't count

This is a lot more than 5 but it still doesn't count

I don't understand

[fallow inlet]

If it's like with PS5, try holding down your picture button and if it then gives a menu, then choose take pic.

[idle pond]

Holding on Xbox just records video

There is no menu like that

You hit a button and boom picture taken

[fallow inlet]

I dunno.

[frozen laurel]

#nms-expedition message

[idle pond]

Why is it like that

[frozen laurel]

dunno, I play on PC.

[weary shore]

whats the best planet in the phase 3 system to take a pic of 5 ground animals

[frozen laurel]

You can do it in any system. Toss out a pellet to a group of animals, take the photo, collect the poop.

[weary shore]

ik but i dont wanna waste a warp cell, im realizing i should have done it all on the first planet

[fierce horizon]

ok, 4th try today and it finally let me do things, and now I have to find this freakin fish

[raw ruin]

While it is doable on the first planet, it is mainly doable on any planet. Either you get lucky and get five animals close together, or you can drop a creature pellet. In the case of me, I ended up getting lucky and had five animals near each other. And the creature pellet method can help with another milestone where you have to search 20 dung samples.

[raw ruin]

All of those would fulfill it. I hope there isn't a bug that transferred over from the last expedition where no matter how many photos you take for an expedition milestone (even if you take it the way the game asks you), it doesn't register. That was a bug from the last expedition

[weary shore]

yeah i just dropped a creature pellet and those branch dogs piled up

[stable obsidian]

Found some decent clusters in Rendevous 5 of the expedition planet. Gonna build a base around it for all to use.

[fierce horizon]

so I fianlyl make it to the fishing quest and now I cant find a toxic water planet to save my life

[frosty zodiac]

i just go to another planet and turn of muliplayer and doodoo flys

[weary shore]

how are you supposed to catch fish let alone a rare one

[weary shore]

ligart prime

[frosty zodiac]

depends on bate

[fierce horizon]

Ive had too many issues to turn on mp and screw my prgress

[stable obsidian]

Go to rendezvous 4 planet where you meet the excavator. It is easier to find water deeper than 50u there. You need water at least 50u deep and need to fish for it at night. I recommend using either the shadow lures or the bionic lures you get as a reward for the Snapshot in Time milestone.

Its uncommon rarity if that helps

[fierce horizon]

wait it's only in water deeper than 50u? how tf am I even supposed to know that?

[stable obsidian]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SUAwLo8OD4k&pp=ygUMTm1zIGJvbmVmaXNo

[chrome umbra]

finally done, the speed of the exp picked up a lot after phase 2

[chrome umbra]

dive in and you'll get a reading of the depth in the bottom left

also, use shadow lures for bonefish

[fallow inlet]

Also when you drop your line it tells you the depth and how deep the sea bed is.

[frosty zodiac]

i just did the easy one

the bleached one

[fierce horizon]

this may be the dumbest thing Ive ever seen

[chrome umbra]

what is

[dense hull]

nice what settings did you use

[fierce horizon]

I just started over, made sure everything was off and absolutely rushed the milestone

[dense hull]

gotcha

[fierce horizon]

now Im being beaten by a fishing mini game

[quaint urchin]

Oof, that first time it took me 3 full day and night cycles to catch one on a Toxic planet using the Bionic Lures. I'm going to try what was posted in the Pins this run.

Here's the link in case it helps: #nms-expedition message

[fierce horizon]

yeah I tried that for a bit, Im gonna try the shadow ones now

[finite scaffold]

I've done the expedition twice and I found the bonefish quicker on the planet that wasn't toxic than finding it on the planet that was. That's luck and probability for you though

[fierce horizon]

from what Ive read. the night fish is just an uncommon one, the poison one is a legendary or S rank fish, which is just insanity

[quaint urchin]

Yep, I didn't pay attention to that fact the first time and it took me forever to catch one.

I'm going to try the uncommon one this time around. Lol

[fierce horizon]

all 40 bionic lures, not a single one, the FIRST shadow one on the same planet, got the whispering

[dense hull]

draven u make me scared to start this

[fierce horizon]

the vast majority pf players dont have the dig site issue, for the fish, craft shadow lures and you're gonna be fine

It's just one of those things that when it happens it's overwhelmingly impactful.

[quaint urchin]

Jump in with both feet. There are lots of helpful people here on the Discord to help if you need it.

Good luck Traveller!

[fierce horizon]

Basically that, like all in all it was like 20hrs, and that was me running around relearning the game after not playing for like a year. You can get it done in like...8hrs if you use a guide while being pretty casual.

[proper flume]

Well alright then. Wheres the bone fish as early as possible?

I'm knocking out whatever objectives I can before I go anywhere for the most part.

[fierce horizon]

As soon as you get the fishing stuff you just find a water place that has at least 50u and go for broke

[proud sun]

Be on the lookout for a “liquidator aufpassen” killing people randomly at the final system!

[proper flume]

Oh I got it earlier.

I already have it. Hence why I'm asking. LOL.

[fierce horizon]

if you have it just craft shadow lures and find deep water

[quaint urchin]

Everyone should go into the Options Menu> Network and set 'Allow PVP with' to 'No One'. This limits their ability to have fun at your expense.

Also set the two 'Show Marker' items to anything other than 'Anyone' so they can't track you.

Splash damage can kill you too...

[fierce horizon]

that is ridiculous

[proper flume]

Welp. Glad I'm in speedrun mode. I got my best ship and I do play on "Custom".

Didn't bring the "PvP" one, but it SHOULD suffice. I would hope?

[finite scaffold]

This is really good advice. I never even thought of splash damage killing someone after they found you with a marker on permadeath

[proper flume]

Just deep water and fish?

[fierce horizon]

at least 50u

[proper flume]

Making sure. Looks about right.

Ice planet I found looks neat enough.

[quaint urchin]

And, with Shadow Lures fish at night...

[fierce horizon]

there, got the multi tool

[finite scaffold]

I haven't actually checked yet; how terrible are the SC slots on the new tool? The atlas scepter had two separate side by sided supercharged slots that you could still link together using pulse spitter.

Figure this might have something similar

I'll have to remember to check it out for myself tomorrow on my expedition save. If it's terrible I'll just reload the save 😆

[proper flume]

Is the bait one time use?

[fierce horizon]

yeah but you get several per craft

[quaint urchin]

Yes, but you get a batch of them when you craft it. Just make sure to pay attention and don't let them get away with stealing your bait.

[proper flume]

I forgot so much of fishing but I forget if it really matters on planet on what fish you get like the bone fish. I assume its not gonna be on an icy rock.

[fierce horizon]

I dont think it does, I caught mine on a poison planet, as long as it is night I dont think it matters

[quaint urchin]

You can either fish for the Legendary version on a Toxic Planet day and night or fish on any water world at night for the less rare variety. The first run I took the Toxic route and it took too long.

This time I'm fishing at night on a normal water world.

[fierce horizon]

Do not try for the legendary one, dont waste your time with it. Do the night fish.

[proper flume]

So a glacial planet has a chance to work essentially....Don't really plan for the legendary fish though.

[proper flume]

By water I assume you mean either actual water from the previous update, or the one with just an ocean.

[fierce horizon]

Any planet with water that is 50u deep can give you the fish as long as it's night and you use the shadow lure

[quaint urchin]

In the Galaxy Map the system information at the end says Water.

Like this one (at the end).

*Note: that screen is from the last Expedition, not the current one.

[proper flume]

Fish caught with inventory full. W e l p.

I don't need to cook the fish, right?

[mossy herald]

so still no fix for the Field Agent hand in milestones for phase 2-5........ or am i missing something

[weary shore]

why does my lure counter go down on the first nibble from any fish? does that make it so that the lure isnt going to work until i recast?

nvm just caught it made like 90 shadow lures for no reason

[wise meteor]

That's normal, I think it still counts as being there until you pull the rod back in. See how you catch lesser grade fish if you don't use any bait if you want to check for yourself.

[dense hull]

bet that

Need some help here

Associate field agent. I collected a ton of bones but the expedition isn't completing, so must be missing something, but the expedition seems to have disappeared so I have no idea what happened

[hot blade]

for me, I had to walk around the dig site to where that lil fossil icon was
Weird deal for some reason

But also by the time I was hitting the dig sites, I had the 80 bones

So when I talked to the chief and walked around a bit, it just triggered

[quiet wigeon]

i am on phase 2 in 2 mission, i did gather all the fossils but dunno where to deliver....

[hollow shore]

Once you have a complete fossil, you should return to the dig site. It should mark the location. Once there it will auto-complete, without having to interact with anything.
There have been some issues reported, possibly save and reload and make sure to disable multi-player

[urban compass]

toxic planets have uhh uranium right?

so i can fish there?

[pale mortar]

{Hello world}

[frozen laurel]

Ammonia. Uranium is nuclear.

[raw ruin]

They also have Fungal Mould

[urban compass]

oh tyvm

[urban compass]

yee tyvm

[raw ruin]

I'd prefer an ocean world, though. There is two of them in Rdv 4 that can help your chances in getting the bonefish

[frozen laurel]

Only needs to be >50u deep.

[little knoll]

Did the expedition bug out? I just logged in and suddenly had all "go to rendezvous point" completed despite only being on the second

[remote thunder]

yeah, a glitch that happened to other players; have you entered+exited your ship after that happened already? if you haven't, don't!

[little knoll]

i alt f4'd

[remote thunder]

okay, load in, don't enter+exit ship, and just reload restore point, if the rdv milestones are still complete (they might be, because of autosave). keep mp disabled

[little knoll]

ah yeah i had mp disabled cause of griefers, i just enabled it and the issue happened. ill go disable it again. thx for the help

[remote thunder]

i had mp disabled cause of griefers
normally, having pvp set to no one is enough, but yeah, i'd suggest keeping mp disabled for now, at least until you complete all rdv and all rdv related milestones

[little knoll]

I should send in a report?

[remote thunder]

yes, please, when you get a bit of spare time. state your location (e.g. space station, in the anomaly, on a planet) when you enabled multiplayer, that it glitched when you enabled it; something along those lines.

[carmine seal]

So, I can't seem to get any dung

[distant parcel]

It definitely took some time.

[carmine seal]

I had just encountered a greifer in the dig 5 system, they got pissed they could not kill me

[distant parcel]

If you find a large group of animals, start dropping a creature pellet every minute or so

I crafted around 200 creature pellets in the nutrient processor, then just spammed them like mad while walking around a small area. Eventually got enough to complete the milestone

[woven token]

Ur beautiful for this, been at this quest for a day and a half just trying to find a toxic planet😭

[naive crypt]

So I just need to sell my fossils and cover myself in poop and this expedition is complete

This was genuinely fun, aside from the 80 fossil milestone

[distant parcel]

I didn't mind that as much as the dung collection

[royal tundra]

At least you couldn’t smell it…

[slender sinew]

What are Griefers?

[humble peak]

I get a lot of ppl love fishing but why is it a mandatory thing for the expedition? I’m not a fishing guy, standing there waiting for a bite is boring to me especially cause I got horrible luck, I’ve been through 200 bait in 70 unit water on a toxic planet, it’s why I didn’t do exp 17

[raw ruin]

Try it on an ocean world in one of the two rendezvous planets on the Rendezvous system. Just note it has to be nighttime and use a Shadow Lure to help your chances.

[cosmic charm]

guys how can i analyze the sh1t of the animals? they just wont do that

[raw ruin]

You gotta wait after you feed them. Dung samples will be marked on your screen if you are in the FOV of them.

[cosmic charm]

how long does it take? i have to analyze 20 of em

[raw ruin]

It took me about 15 minutes to do it.

[remote thunder]

@cosmic charm e.g. in rdv5, there's a moon - use quick menu/creatures/creature pellet to throw a pellet on the ground near a group of enemies. no predators should be around, and you should neither harvest animals nor mine stuff

[dim garden]

did it glitch

[ashen shore]

Anyone doing the exp on switch & about to finish?
Wondering if they fixed the rewards or just updated the text description

[cosmic charm]

does anyone know when they will fix the bug that blocks the spawn of other alien's ships

[cosmic charm]

it wasnt like that like an hour ago

[brazen wadi]

How long does this expedition take? I’m interested in doing it for a staff lol

[simple crane]

Depends if you use guides or not, I completed it in about 6 hours or so using a guide on the last two hours or so

[prisma tundra]

depends on the person, most people can do it in about 5-10 hours total, but I personally can't do it in one day and I like exploring a lot more lol

[brazen wadi]

Yeah no way in one sitting haha

How much time is there left before event? Can and should a new player like me do it lol

[prisma tundra]

you've got 5 weeks, so you def have time

[brazen wadi]

Ooo nice ok

[remote thunder]

this has been fixed with the 5.61 patch, and currently all platforms should have 5.62 available. be sure to update game, then it should be fixed.

[remote thunder]

nah, seems to be just a visual bug - the milestones that can autocomplete if multiplayer is enabled, are the reach dig site ones

[blissful gust]

I installed the update today, but I still can't land on a planet

[remote thunder]

this has been happening to some of us as well near rdv sites; basically have to land as far as you need before it lets you land, then hike back

[blissful gust]

but I can land on this other planet, not th eone I need to land on to give relics 😱

[blissful gust]

it doesn't even give an error though

[remote thunder]

yeah, it doesn't 😦

[blissful gust]

so I waited for the patch for no reason? 👿

[remote thunder]

otoh, you could go completely offline

to prevent other player bases and stuff from downloading

[blissful gust]

Why can't they disable bases within 1km of an actual rendezvous POI?

[raw ruin]

At least they removed the Comm Ball issue, now this is another thing trolls do to piss players who want to enjoy the game off. Just make it a terminal or something when you arrive at the spot and prohibit any construction of any kind (unless it's something temporary like refining)

[raw ruin]

I know there is a way to do it on PC, but since I play on PS5, is there a way that is achieveable? I recall doing something offline once on PS4 to get an achievement in another game that didn't unlock.

[remote thunder]

yeah, should just be able to launch game, then goto console settings and disconnect from internet - or if not, just unplug the lan cable

[vernal sluice]

lol so I finally start the expedition and the update hits while I’m doing phase three lol I hope I will start back up where I was at. lol

[remote thunder]

should be fine

[vernal sluice]

Just funny is all

[sly sedge]

Are the portals disabled for this expedition, or am I encountering another bug?

[remote thunder]

portals arent disabled, we just dont get a milestone that rewards the glyph set

[sly sedge]

What do you mean about rewarding the glyph set?

[remote thunder]

in the past, there's been expeditions that had a milestone that, when claimed, unlocked the 16 portal glyphs in one go

that isn't the case with exp18, so you'd be left to use traveler graves to learn the glyph set of 16 to be able to fully use the portal network

[sly sedge]

I don't recall ever having to unlock portal glyphs before. They were just there.

[sharp vale]

looking into trying an expedition. from what I've read so far, it seems (very vaguely) a little bit like Seasons in Diablo.

specific stuff parallel to but not like normal gameplay

[remote thunder]

well, depends on game mode (creative lets you use the full glyph set without unlocking it) - and in expedition, well, as mentioned

[sharp vale]

should I take anything with me? it is a break from my normal save game?

[sly sedge]

Yes, it's a break. I recommend taking the basics, like ferrite, oxygen, copper, and some chromatic metal.

[remote thunder]

basically, your save file will get a new data table inside, to house the progress of the expedition character. you're allowed to switch between the two "contexts" at any time while expedition character hasn't completed it yet.

[sharp vale]

interesting.

Other than that ship from 16, I haven't seen any reason to gun for expeditions yet

[remote thunder]

as for suggestions, the basics will do 🙂 this <#nms-expedition message>, and some repair kits (don't need to bring aqua jets this time)

[sly sedge]

A break from the regular game, a bit of fun.

[remote thunder]

exp18 account wide rewards

[sly sedge]

So, if I can't use the portal to access the 5th dig site, and I can't navigate there through the galaxy view, my only option pretty much is to get taxied there.

[remote thunder]

yep, which is what i believe i had mentioned before as well 🙂

[sly sedge]

You brought up the pinned post with the portal glyphs, so that's why I tried that.

I didn't realize that they had to be "unlocked"

[remote thunder]

nah, i did so that you'd have addresses to get taxied to

@sly sedge alternatively, what you could also try to do would be to check the anomaly teleporter, to see if you can catch a base in rdv5

i didn't suggest it earlier because ods/mp has been... shaky

[sly sedge]

You're right about that. I've tried it, but it always says it's unable to download the base.

[sharp vale]

I still see information about previous expeditions, though. You can't do previous expeditions, right?

Hmm. Based on the rewards I see from previous expeditions, the rewards from 18 don't seem worth the effort.

[remote thunder]

@sharp vale tips for smoother progression:

• load in, keep multiplayer disabled (options/network settings) to avoid bugs
• pause/Expedition tab; on the left, you can swap through phases: 1-5. on the right, cursor over each milestone: without actually selecting any, you get a short description of objective and sometimes more importantly, what reward(s).
• open inventory - even though ship is out of range, you'll notice that it's not damaged. when you get to it, feel free to take a break and look at your inventories, make any changes you see fit to tech inventories.
• the only milestones that should be done "in order per phase", are the dig site milestones/assemble+present fossils. as in, do not try to do dig site 2 milestone before first doing dig site 1.
• this means that you can certainly try, and often succeed, doing milestones off phase, out of order, sometimes even in the starter planet/system.
• there's going to be milestones with rewards that will help you progress smoother: e.g. prebuilt aqua jets ship tech, or personal refiner, or nanites or inventory slots.
• always visit stations of noteworthy systems: starter system, and dig site aka rendezvous systems, if they have one; if they don't have a station, drop and claim a base computer (base comp bp is another milestone reward.
• started from existing save, you get access to anomaly after warping out of the starter system: that's when you get to retrieve resources "sent from", "given by" your primary character before start
• if you're not going to copy in a ship with an already decent/more than enough range, and/or bring plenty of warp fuel, always keep an eye on upgrade module shops in space stations, especially on the starter system, and in the systems you'll go through to get to rdv1 system, for almost <any> class hyperdrive modules - the more warps you gotta do, instead of 1 big warp, the more fuel you'll spend. while in a normal mode save i'd probably never buy a b-class module, in expedition,

shoot, ran out of characters

in expedition, i prefer speed to having to craft lots, so i was rocking two b-class hyperdrive modules till i got my first s-class

also

try to chain multiple milestones together, but remember that the game milestone tooltip lower right only relates to the active milestone, and some milestones have to be active to be progressed, but not all

what i mean by chaining is, everytime you land on a planet that's not a rendezvous planet, try having multiple reasons to land on it - this sometimes isn't possible at the time, for multiple reasons, no point going into all of them atm

basically, if landing on planet A lets you do milestone A and B before leaving that planet - then that's probably a good planet to land on.

@sharp vale ^

[dim grove]

if you start from your main save there can also be a lot of other rewards that arent related to the expedition like a crap ton of nanites and inventory slots

[dim grove]

im still mad i forgot to spend all my units buying frigates

anyway, on top of the ways to earn additional nanites like bk just showed, exp 18 also gives a total of 32 exosuit expansion slots

pretty neat and helped me max out my inventory

although doing the expedition without using any of them can be a bit tedious with the amount of bones you have to get

[median sparrow]

I'm maxed out already so I plan on using them all anyways.

[fierce horizon]

If you start a new save in the base game, you still can access your expedition rewards from the anomaly right?

I might do that once I finish, Ive no idea WHY that bug decided to finally give up but I am almost done with phase 4 now

[frozen laurel]

Buy suspicious packets from a pirate station with your units instead.

[fierce horizon]

I love how I can just assemble whatever and it doesnt matter, feels very Victorian

[obtuse jungle]

Lol yeah i also thought there are just specific sets but it appears we got the entire combination space of the bones

[fierce horizon]

"this creature lived approx 26m years ago. me looking at my creation: hopefully not long

this water planet is so deep, I ran out of o2 trying to swim to the bottom

[silk wasp]

Hi, problems in ps4 taking creature picture?

I press share button but not count, i hold share button and select take screenshot and not count

[remote thunder]

but you're opening photo mode, right?

instead of using photo mode's trigger to capture the photo, enter photo mode, then use ps4's share screenshot functionality (either quick screenshot, or through the share menu, whatever works)

[silk wasp]

I must take the 5 creatures in 1 screenshot?

I think is that

[remote thunder]

yeah; throw a creature pellet on the ground, next to a group of animals, wait for them to gather up next to you

this would probably be a good time to get 20 dung samples (wait for them to poop after throwing pellet on the ground)

[silk wasp]

Okay got it thanks

[potent rose]

Has their been any new bug fix updates with this expidition yet?

[remote thunder]

5.62 has fixes towards expedition 18 yes

[silk wasp]

Mmmm exp 17 ship cant be equiped ?

[remote thunder]

can you elaborate?

[silk wasp]

I have the ship, but i cant go to purple sys

atlantid unit is needed

[remote thunder]

1. does the ship have atlantid drive installed?

your starter ship has atlantid drive pre-installed

you could take it, and install it on the copied ship

[silk wasp]

But the exp 17 ship is bionic

The spectre

Can use?

[remote thunder]

yep

all ship types can use atlantid drive

[silk wasp]

Oh ok then i copy from starter

[remote thunder]

yeah just store it

[silk wasp]

Done thanks

[ashen shore]

What counts as a deep enough ocean area to catch a bonefish?

I've been trying in over 100u areas and there's no bonefish yet...even after quite a while

[remote thunder]

50u deep at least

[ashen shore]

Ok uhh something's not right then I've been at this for the past hour 😢 (also hey again BK, appreciate you :) )

[remote thunder]

try going to a different planet with bones; if non-toxic biome planet, then can only fish at night time, try using shadow lure then. also, try not using any bait for a while. for example, try the bones waterworld planet in rendezvous 4.

[ashen shore]

I'm on toxic planet - I am actually not using bait and thought that was the problem 🤔

Oh well might be RNG or lack thereof

[remote thunder]

try using some bionic lure that you get from a milestone, or some dangling orb or shadow lure during night time - try a different planet, can skip this milestone for now

[marsh brook]

Does Hello Games think it's fun fishing endlessly for expeditions to get this fossil fish? Over an hour spent trying to get this thing...

Even followed a guide online, same planet and everything. This is just tedium.

[dim garden]

how do i complete the faecium quest

[dim garden]

i got mine first try, i headed to that one big water planet at ren 3, and fished at night

[covert turret]

I had to use shadow lure, worked on 2nd try, toxic planet, night time. Hope that helps

[dim garden]

im feeding so many animals but NO FAECIUM

[magic belfry]

I luckily got the fish with only 25 lures

[marsh brook]

Must be nice, 2 hours of fishing, using the bait, fishing at night in deep water.

[dim garden]

i didnt even use the bait!!! i was lucky.. REALLY lucky

[hidden flame]

THANK YOU!! I spent many hours yesterday in differant spots trying for this. I saw this afterward and did it today...and after just a couple tries got it!

[covert turret]

i fed, waited, and the faecium showed up after as a poop on the ground which I had to pick up, easy to see, red swirl icon. Feed, leave them for a minute or so, watch for poop.

[peak minnow]

For some reason, no mans sky automatically completed the rendezvous missions even though I haven't been there yet. Now I have no idea where I'm going. I managed to find the system of the 3rd rendezvous and the planet it's on, but I don't where on the planet it is. Could someone send me the coords to the 3rd rendezvous please? Thanks

[slim elm]

I made a base in a purple star system during the Titan expedition, I was using an existing save, and when it was over the base was gone. It was suggested I had to still do the main quest and autophage before I could again access a purple star. So I did both but still no base.

This time a used a new save for relics, have a base in a purple star where the exp took place, curious to find out if it gets lost too. Anyone lose their base on a new save after exp is over?

[ashen shore]

Byte sized was moved from tier 4 or 5 to tier 2 lol that's a random change

Unless it was misplaced by a bug on switch

[lament zodiac]

Geez.

Atlas hates me so bad. I can't seem to get this forsaken fish

[ashen shore]

Deep water toxic planet night time right

[lament zodiac]

Yeah.

Just a ton of bad luck.

I'm on sucridut right now, I may go wander somewhere else because I'm done with this planet.

[ashen shore]

Atleast 60u deep?

[lament zodiac]

110u deep rn.

[quaint urchin]

Check this link: #nms-expedition message

[ashen shore]

Damn rng be like that

The fishing exp took forever

[quaint urchin]

I did it on the Frozen planet in the Starting System in like 5 - 10 minutes.

Fishing at night, Shadow Lure, 56U deep.

[lament zodiac]

I'm gonna try thay, although I have no night lures.

[quaint urchin]

The one for Toxic planet is Rare, the one for normal planet isn't rare so it is easier.

[ashen shore]

The exp lied omg rude

[quaint urchin]

Not too hard to craft. The milestone that gives bait gives all of the blueprints.

[lament zodiac]

I used all the bait already. I'm resorting to cooked bones.

I've done all the expedition missions, except for that one.

[quaint urchin]

I think it was Cyto-phosphate and some other stuff, can't recall... You can try to craft it in your inventory to see what is required.

[lament zodiac]

Dreadful fishy.

[frozen laurel]

40 cyto, metal plate, 2 antimatter

[ashen shore]

Fishing in NMS is cool until it's required for a mission it's too rng lol

[lament zodiac]

Right now I'm literally burnt out with this mission.

I have cursed in this afternoon my monthly quota.

JESUS CHRIST BE PRAISED.

I CHANGED PLANETS AND GOT IT RIGHT AWAY.

[lament zodiac]

I'd give you a hug.

[ashen shore]

I'm at the fishing milestone now lol
Sitting waiting for night sux

[fierce horizon]

I swear they made this expedition painful on purpose, this memory stone thing is nonsense too

[ashen shore]

It's sorta bad but it's not as bad as the fishing exp

[magic belfry]

Pillar of light

[ashen shore]

I have to do it a second time because switch didn't get alp rewards

[fierce horizon]

this is literally rng jumping from system to system until I find something, thefishing I at least could target things

[magic belfry]

You should be able to get most things from the expedition route

[lament zodiac]

[fierce horizon]

is there any special way to find ruined planets? or is it just jump until rnjesus smiles on me?

[proper violet]

any toxic waterworlds near the expedition path with a space station for the Living Fossil task?

[proper violet]

Those are the ones with polished stone, right? You could go in the discovery tab, find polished stone and set it as something you want to find

[fierce horizon]

I mean it shows up when you enter a system, I was just hoping there was some cheeky way

[weary shore]

if yall need the bone fish just craft some shadow lures it makes it easy asl

[weary shore]

dont go for the toxic one, its a legendary while the whispering bonefish is only a rare, go to any planet with shadow lures and i got it in like 11 reels with the lure

[proper violet]

omg that recipe looks so much easier than the bionic lures the expedition provided

[weary shore]

yep, i made 90 and then had 79 left 😭

and dont do it on a toxic planet

[proper violet]

the wiki says it's uncommon 🤔

[weary shore]

yeah, but the toxic version is a legendary, theres 2 boenfish, bleached bonefish (legendary) and whispering bonefish (uncommon)

[proper violet]

ughhhhhh

ty

[fierce horizon]

yeah the toxic fish is legendary, it's obscene that they put it there as an option

[proper violet]

also, is there a way to make it so that entering my freighter doesn't make my ears bleed?

(cuz entering the freighter is WAY too loud)

[proper violet]

So, with ocean worlds, I just need to fish at night, yes?

[weary shore]

yep

[fierce horizon]

22 jumps deep, still not a single one of these planets

what makes it so bad is I KNOW Ive seen one but have zero idea what area it was in

[misty plinth]

Have you returned to the starter system and the starter planet?

[fierce horizon]

ie no idea where that even is anymore

[misty plinth]

Should be in your list of discoveries - hopefully you went to the space station before you left the system to make it easier on yourself.

System name and planet are listed in the pinned messages above ☝️

[fierce horizon]

I dont like relying on outside resources, at this point Im doing this out of spite, I will have a cosmetic I will never equip, you cannot stop me devs

there, only took me 37 jumps but I finally found one

[magic belfry]

Extra nanites ig

[proper violet]

just got an item from freighter expeditions that attracts cosmic megafauna

[devout echo]

So are dig sites part of the main game now when you've finished the expedition?

[misty plinth]

The expedition is more of a formal introduction to the new bones/relics system the was introduced with the update. It's there even if you do not run the expedition.

[devout echo]

TY Jamm Of To

[subtle meadow]

how do I cook the bone thing?

[magic belfry]

Need two bone marrow in two slots of the nutrient processor

Bone marrow is just any bone is the processor

[subtle meadow]

I have the broth

how do I turn it in?

[magic belfry]

Talk to Cronus

[subtle meadow]

yeah

the option for the broth isn't showing up

[magic belfry]

Oh

Maybe put some of the items currently offered in your starship

Other items still work

[brazen wadi]

should i install or save any of these modules? am i able to bring them back to my main save? or just sell for nanites

[hidden flame]

Just finished and figured out its not the broth he wants! Its a BONE!!!!!

[magic belfry]

The options are weird

[hidden flame]

So the one before that is to make the broth but Cronus doesn't want the broth he wants an actual BONE!!!

[fierce horizon]

he needs both, the broth and then just any bone

[hidden flame]

if you want to give the broth, and you can't get the option, I found getting anything in my inventory and ship out (sold) that he can eat and only have the broth. So I saved this quest for last.

[subtle meadow]

yep I figured that out

seriously why would anyone want to eat an actual bone

he said it's disgusting, ofc it's disgusting it's a literal bone

this getting 80 bones thing is tedious, any tips for that?

[misty plinth]

I collected more than I needed whenever the bones were in abundance. Had the 80 pretty quickly.

[fierce horizon]

yeah just land on any planet and go for broke

[misty plinth]

You can also consider checking the Nexus for missions that contribute to the count.

[frozen laurel]

Yes, you can bring them back to your main. If you want to bring more than 8, you are able to. Fill the terminal > Don't click End Expedition > back out of the menu > Return to Primary save.

also save between trips

[brazen wadi]

save between trips from expedition to primary save?

[misty plinth]

Basically give yourself good restore points. When you first go back to primary you have one from when you exited your ship.

[brazen wadi]

ohh ok

[misty plinth]

You may want to collect things on the primary then go jump in and out of your ship so that action is saved.

[brazen wadi]

so all the systems and planets you explore if i build a base computer in a planet will my primary save be able to go there too

[misty plinth]

Rinse and repeat.

[misty plinth]

I have yet to close out my expedition save so cannot say with certainty. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be available when the expedition is closed out though.

Not like the weirdness of the Titan expedition.

[brazen wadi]

oo nice ok

[brazen wadi]

this terminal right? when i click on a slot nothing happens so i cant put anything inside

i think i have to finish the expedition first?

[eager frost]

lands on a waterworld
it is night
has bionic lures
starts fishing for a bonefish
gets legendary fishes AND NO BONEFISH

[misty plinth]

Yes you have to collect each phase reward as well as the final one. Just don't use the terminal to finish the expedition until you are absolutely certain you have moved everything you wanted to.

[brazen wadi]

i dont even see a finish expedition or cancel button lol

[misty plinth]

Phase 4 water world? People report they've caught one at night with no bait. You could try Shadow Lures or Mealworms even and see how well they work.

[misty plinth]

In the screenshot you have not collected all the phase rewards.

Only shows 1 of 5 complete

[eager frost]

Thing is, I have tried both Phase 4 waterworlds and i found 4 legendary fishes

and NO bonefish

[brazen wadi]

yeah

thats ok i guess haha

[left sleet]

There's 2 Relic Golems these ones that are around dig sites. Via the red marker.

the mega golems

@upper nymph these were what we were talking about, idk if you have dealt with them or not

I think most fought the floaty ones

but i didn't even see one of the big bois

[upper nymph]

they look pretty cool

[left sleet]

that first image i just realized is the big guy on legs

XD

[eager frost]

they somehow remind me of samus aran

[swift prism]

I like the massive ones that just stay still 🤣

[potent rose]

Does that include the auto completed ones?

[left sleet]

I wanna fight it

[misty parrot]

so im in the expedition, joined with my main character from the nexus, is it worth doing the quicksilver weekend mission? will i be able to xfer the QS to my main save?

[knotty marsh]

Yeah it's worth to do the weekend missions. They are quick and pay well. You can't transfer the quicksilver between saves, but if you buy something using QS, it will be available account wide

[dusty elm]

I want to uninstall the 'Atlantid Drive' from the ship I got with the expedition and transfer it back to my save. Can I do that and use it repeatedly in future expedition?

[remote thunder]

you wont need to do this. your primary character will learn how to craft atlantid drive as well

[dusty elm]

I bought the blueprint and couldn't get living glass while in expedition. I'll try and make it once I leave this expedition, should be easier for me to do. TY!!

[remote thunder]

(in your primary character, you'll have to complete a quest for it, which will also unlock purple star systems - !faq-purplesystems in #bot-spam for more info)

[dusty elm]

Great! The character I'm using still needs to complete quest for purple star system, so looks like it will all work out fine 🙂 Thank you!!

[faint mesa]

Done. Enjoyable expedition. 😎
Funny. Took me a bit longer than Titan, but it felt smoother.

[remote thunder]

congrats!

the armor set is awesome imo

[faint mesa]

Thanks! Yep, I'll use some parts on my main character for sure. Perhaps something from Titan too.
On that note... the staves we got from those two -- is the SC layout fixed on them?

[remote thunder]

yep, should be

[faint mesa]

Ok, great. No concerns about RNG then. 😆

Thank you!

[cosmic charm]

guys is there like a fast way to dig 3500u3 for the expedition's mission?

[somber remnant]

You'll probably get it by digging up fossils :3

Cause you do need a lot of fossils

[cosmic charm]

ive done all the expedition missiopns except that one and i am still at 360 u

[silk wasp]

The game say i have not exp 16 complete but i have 16 and 17, any problem whith the cross save?

[somber remnant]

No idea. I'd just dig more personally XD

[cosmic charm]

i am a dwarf and i will dig a hole

[silk wasp]

Any issue with cross save????

[faint mesa]

• make a hole in the ground, deep but not too much
• use the flatten option with the hole as a starting point, flat the whole area surrounding it

[faint mesa]

Which platforms? Which one has the rewards available, which one hasn't?
I'd file a bug report at Zendesk, but for what's worth I think to this day my save on PC has unavailable rewards, whereas my save on Mac has everything. Has been a thing for ages tbh

[prisma tundra]

If you join an expedition from a main save, the QS will absolutely transfer, and if you go back to your primary save, you can do the weekend mission twice

[silk wasp]

I have ps4 and steam

In steam have no exp 16 and 17, but in ps4 yea

And the game now say is not completed

[faint mesa]

Yeah, I think seasonal rewards are read differently on PC/Steam, i.e. in another file perhaps

I'd just save edit what's missing lol

[silk wasp]

In other file yes have the expedition wtf

[faint mesa]

It's a bit of a mess. File a bug report, one day HG will finally streamline all this and we will no longer have these issues lol.

[remote thunder]

i see Tyndall is helping in #nms-questions with this

[vernal sluice]

This may sound dumb but how do you take a picture? Xbox XS

I have tried and tried but no luck

[remote thunder]

try this

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

[vernal sluice]

How do I know if it worked?

I’m not getting anything saying a photo was taken, this is why I have never done the photo missions it never works. I want it to.

[remote thunder]

milestone completion should trigger after you exit photo mode

@vernal sluice 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.

[vernal sluice]

For taking a mission photo I hit the Xbox button? Just want to make sure

I thought I was supposed to hit the A button

It’s not working

[remote thunder]

be sure to have multiplayer disabled

then, did you try all 3 alternatives i mentioned?

[vernal sluice]

In the expedition multi player needs to be off?

[remote thunder]

to avoid bugs, one of which might be this, you can have it disabled

[vernal sluice]

I have tried all of them, in the 500 hours I have only successfully taken one photo for a mission

I will try that

Multi player can’t be turned off, it won’t give me that option

[remote thunder]

because you're in a group maybe?

[vernal sluice]

I’m alone

[remote thunder]

in game, open options, network settings

there should be an option to toggle mp on and off

[vernal sluice]

Network settings isn’t showing up

[remote thunder]

what do you see in options?

if you got no network settings, your current subscription doesn't allow mp or you're under family account restrictions

[vernal sluice]

Normally it’s there with no issues, this is the first time I’m trying to bring up network settings and it’s not there. Any other time it’s there

[remote thunder]

try restarting game

[vernal sluice]

My first expidition

[remote thunder]

make sure your subscription hasn't run out

in any case

no network settings, no other players

[vernal sluice]

It hasn’t it’s paid for

[remote thunder]

can you post a screenshot/picture of your photo mode screen with the creatures?

make sure creatures arent overlapping or hiding behind each other, and that you're not in the picture

one or more alternatives that i posted should just work

[raw ruin]

A little tip for the creature one. Might have to pan your camera to a birds-eye view. That might help get the animals for it.

[raw ruin]

It has to be ground

[remote thunder]

use ground animals

far far easier

throw a pellet on the ground

quick menu/creatures/

[raw ruin]

Kinda like this. I had five spawn near each other.

[remote thunder]

throw a pellet on the ground next to a group of animals

wait for them to come feed

screenshot while they're all standing next to you lol

then wait a bit more, and gather 20 dung samples

[random pivot]

anyone have a lead on a sentinel ship location during Relics?

[remote thunder]

in rdv1, there's most likely going to be uploaded player bases next to sentinel ship sites

e.g.

@random pivot do not forget to take atlantid drive from starter ship

[random pivot]

good shout, thank you

i'll try to zip back to rendezvous one.

I just arrived at three and I'm getting antsy haha

[remote thunder]

just teleport back - always visit stations of rdv systems

[random pivot]

Bless, I fortunately did

[vernal sluice]

So I fed them they were standing in front of me and I can’t take a picture, I don’t understand why this isn’t working.

Photos have not worked since I have started playing this game, it’s why I don’t do photo missions and now I can’t finish the expidition

Just annoyed is all

[frozen laurel]

Which platform do you play on?

[vernal sluice]

Xbox XS

[frozen laurel]

Try this
#nms-expedition message

[vernal sluice]

So I have to take an actual screen shot first then hit the y button?

[prime zinc]

are you able to claim your past expedition stuff separately on the expedition savefile without it affecting your main save file?

[random pivot]

I'm still somewhat a pleb at this, but I found a boatload of beacons at a point that claims A class with 3 souped slots next to each other. The ship isn't there, but the rest of the site is.. Anything I can do there?

I disabled multiplayer and reloaded, made it respawn

[misty parrot]

Stuck on Do Not Disturb. I keep following the visor, it says ancient guardian awakened, then nothing., like 12 times now

[random pivot]

Have you selected the quest in the log? This is what fixed this issue for me

[misty parrot]

Ya it is the active quest. thats why the visor is seeking the sites out

[random pivot]

Right. Hm. It also worked for me when my coop partner spawned them and I killed them.

[quaint urchin]

Try disabling Multiplayer, create a Restore Point, and then reload. It could be someone has disabled Sentinels, which also disables the Guardians.

They just go poof if the Sentinels have been disabled...

[vernal sluice]

I finally got it to work so thank you for the help

Anyone on phase three trying to catch a bonefish? Anyone successful?

[quaint urchin]

There are two kinds of Bonefish. The one on Toxic worlds is Rare and the one you have to catch at Night is just Uncommon. Go for the Uncommon one and use Shadow Lures at night.

I got mine in the starter system on the Ice planet. 56U deep water. (anything deeper than 50U should be good enough).

[vernal sluice]

Ok so is a poisonous planet the same as a toxic planet?

I’m in phase three of the expidition trying to catch this silly thing

How do we know how deep the water is, swim down?

[quaint urchin]

Cycle the HUD while fishing and it shows you how deep the water is.

[vernal sluice]

I will give it a shot

Ty

[quaint urchin]

It's Left on the D-Pad and maybe H on Keyboard.

[faint mesa]

I'm sure someone already mentioned it, but for the faecium collecting, the last rendezvous planet is great.
Lush, lots of ground creatures in packs. You can do that milestone very quickly there.

[raw ruin]

The fishing pole as MuhChicken mentioned is a good strategy. The guidelines fore the fish in toxic biome is that it has to be nighttime and the water has to be at least 50u deep. Bait isn't really required, but to help your chances, you may have to use a Shadow Lure to increase the chances of getting it.

[vernal sluice]

Trying to find water that’s 50u deep is an issue at the moment

[naive crypt]

Its poop time

[quaint urchin]

Terrain Manipulator

Make it how deep you want it.

[raw ruin]

If that doesn't work, you might have to find an ocean on the toxic planet, or you use a waterworld to find the other fish that can fulfill the requirements for the milestone (you can catch either one). There is two waterwolds in Rdv 4 that you can visit that have had reports of the Bonefish being caught.

[naive crypt]

I swear these animals are constipated man they effin die before pooping

[remote thunder]

sentinels cannot be shutdown on planet; save+reload, then try again

[raw ruin]

That's a weird gimmick, to have Stone Guardians not show up if Sentinels are deactivated. Maybe they're the Sentinels of fossils?

[remote thunder]

yeah, not sure what was the plan here. might be bugged in the sense that when we loot a fossil, nearby vigilant stones would awaken, but that's not the case at all atm ime

plus, not all fossil beds have vigilant stones near them either

[raw ruin]

Usually if I'm excavating fossils on a planet in my starter system for example (has Ancient Bones) uncovering them and collecting them does not cause them to appear. I saw they only appear if you interract with the stone directly.

Kinda similar to Alluring Specimens with Hadal Cores, there is a chance of an Angler Fish from interaction.

[remote thunder]

on any planet with bones afaik, they never pop on "fossil looted"

regardless of whether sentinels are shutdown or not, and that might be the part that's bugged

[raw ruin]

Who knows at this point. There is a lot of things HG intends that we think or bugs, or vice versa

[remote thunder]

that would kinda clash a bit with "old bones" but

[naive crypt]

So there is an animal whose diet is "faeces". Don't tell me he is eating all the poop

[remote thunder]

nah, flavor text

[raw ruin]

Random generation, much like the worm that eats Sentinel Walkers.

[remote thunder]

just make sure animals aren't stressed out e.g. no predators around, you're not using your mining beam

[naive crypt]

Its a lush planet and I am not mining

But they are mysteriously dying

So maybe there is an impostor amogus

[remote thunder]

a predator then

[raw ruin]

Predator-prey scenario. Happens quite a bit actually.

[remote thunder]

try a different planet

[remote thunder]

went for smooth for me; ^ one of the planets i ended up finding after for example

[naive crypt]

Okay yeah i switched areas and now they are pumping out more shit than Kanye West

[fallow inlet]

They just blew their blood vessels in their brain trying to push.

[fallow inlet]

Shoulda went South Park and said Bono instead of Kanye.

[random pivot]

i hoard the animals and throw a metric shipload of pellets on the ground

they keep converting it to poop

[raw ruin]

Everyone has different strategies on how they can complete this milestone. Mine was just starting in one area, feed one animal, and feed the rest, rinse and repeat.

[naive crypt]

And it's done

Was hard deciding what to take back go main save tbh

Ngl, I dig the helmet, everything else...ehhh

[raw ruin]

I just took any raw materials I had with me back to my main save.

And of course anything I bought with me, such as Ion Batteries.

[trail musk]

Unless they changed it, take it alllll..

Load up the terminal, then return to main save via the ESC menu, NOT THE TERMINAL.

Unload, resume expedition. Rinse and repeat.

[remote thunder]

remember to save after putting items, before returning to primary/resume expedition

this can be used to copy different gear as well

[deft lichen]

i can't remember, what all do they tally up at the end of the expedition, and do they give nanites for it or quicksilver? it's like, distance walked, words learned, stuff like that?

[trail musk]

I can't remember them all, but I can say you get a serious wedge of nanites per frigate owned

[remote thunder]

2k nanites per frigate recruited, 35k units per waypoint mapped for example, but there's no activities for bonus quicksilver rewards. naturally, you could run this weekend's nexus mission before finishing for example, and get that quicksilver merged in to primary.

@trail musk ^ feel free to grab that image 🙂

[deft lichen]

hmm. could i then do this weekend's mission again on primary and get twice the QS?

[remote thunder]

ahuh

[trail musk]

That looks wedge like....

[deft lichen]

hell yeah!!! does that also work for the daily missions?

[remote thunder]

yep

[deft lichen]

siiiiick wtf

i know what i'm doing

[remote thunder]

qs earned is per save, non consumable qs purchases are unlocked account wide too

[trail musk]

Also remember to rinse your relics through planetary archives

[deft lichen]

i dunno what that means :D

[trail musk]

If you take your treasures to a PA, you can archive them. But you get another ( better one) in return

[deft lichen]

ohh like the stuff you get out of the coffins?

[trail musk]

Some of them, documents, bio samples and fossils off the top of my head

[deft lichen]

oh shit ok. i'll have to try and find one then

[trail musk]

NMS is a min / maxxers paradise

[remote thunder]

ime, it's not always a better one. it's always one of equal, or higher rarity, but the item value isn't always superior either

[deft lichen]

does that include the new fossils or just the old ones?

[remote thunder]

old ones seem to have been replaced by new ones almost entirely - just not sure if grave of the ocean king space encounter for example is still dropping old fossil style stuff

or npc collector pilot

[prisma tundra]

I thought it was always equal or higher value

[remote thunder]

me too, but i've gotten lower value items (but of the same rarity) plenty of times

partially one of the reasons why i stopped doing it

[prisma tundra]

huh, interesting

[deft lichen]

oooh ok!!! ty

[prisma tundra]

I just never remember to do it, or it takes a bunch of charts just to find one, but every time I've done it, I've gotten an increase of rarity & value

[remote thunder]

i guess it's ok to do when you're reading all the lore of the terminals, as a side thing/bit of fun; that said, due to charts mechanic of not being able to mark the same POI type twice, you could easily get yourself in a position that every commercial chart you pop can mark a planetary archive

[prisma tundra]

I've never figured out how to do that, especially when I tend to want to explore the POI that pops up, then only after, pop a new chart

[remote thunder]

basically, you just keep popping charts in the same system, ignoring+spamming through "similar location already marked" till it goes through, and pops a marker of a different type

when you have the marker of the building you want, you goto it

[prisma tundra]

ah fair, I prob didn't spam enough the few times I tried, and I alsso go to the POI usually

[remote thunder]

yeah, that's ok ofc, unless you want a specific one

[low horizon]

Is it true I can start any previous expeditions in the anomaly or is that a mod thing?

[remote thunder]

that's an unofficial thing, pc only yeah

[deft lichen]

whaaaaaaa!!!

[vernal sluice]

Silly question, how do you get bones from a water world?

[deft lichen]

personally i didn't

to my knowledge you don't have to get the bones there. i just went back to a different planet with bones

[low horizon]

is that available in the bot channel or pinned somewhere for me to read?

[vernal sluice]

You can’t make a base and can’t have a watercraft so how would you do it?

[low horizon]

do you mean the bonefish?

[deft lichen]

no there's a planet, the only planet in theeee i wanna say 4th RDV system

[vernal sluice]

No I got the bone fish,in phase four the only planet with bone beds is a water world.

[remote thunder]

nah, just go to a different system to get bones then return

[deft lichen]

it's 100% water, super deep, says there's bones but it's a pain in the ass to get to any of them

[vernal sluice]

Lol that is good to know

What system do you go to then?

[remote thunder]

see <#nms-modding message>; remember, you'll be mostly on your own 🙂

[low horizon]

you may need the nautilus to go that deep plus the deep water membrane but should be doable

[deft lichen]

i just went back to the one from the 2nd rdv

[remote thunder]

i think i went back to rdv3 via teleporter - basically, any rdv system not rdv4

[low horizon]

yes I figured lol

[vernal sluice]

Personally I think that is kinda dumb lol

Shouldn’t have to do that

It’s all good just in one of those moods that everything is stupid lol it happens

[eager frost]

FINALLY.

It's done.

[remote thunder]

congrats!

[dreamy steeple]

How do you cook the bone broth?

[quaint urchin]

Put the soft bones in 2 different slots to cook that.

I had to look it up, no other way I could figure it out. Lol

[dreamy steeple]

And then you get the item “bone broth”. Is that the broth that Cronus likes cooked and not in its raw state?

Apparently it was. I gave him another and he liked it

Maybe? It doesn’t say that it is completed

It was just literally bones

[quaint urchin]

Yes, I just gave Chronos a regular fossil bone. He didn't like it, but the milestone completed.

[cosmic charm]

guys how can i obtain rewards from old expeditions?

[deft lichen]

wait for them to become available to do again near the end of the year

[cosmic charm]

oh, so i have to wait till january?

[deft lichen]

decemberish. and there's only a chance they'll be selected to be rerun

usually they rerun every expedition that debuted that year, then one or maybe two that came before that

[cosmic charm]

so they just show me the rewards from the other expeditions to make me envious

[deft lichen]

no? they show everyone rewards for all expeditions

it's like an archive

[cosmic charm]

yeah i was just joking, its just that it irritates me that i cqn

can see them yet not redeem them

[deft lichen]

idk how legit it is but if you're on PC supposedly you can do old expeditions sort of "on command"

i haven't tried it

[deft lichen]

but bk201 says its legit and i would trust that king with my life

i meant to quote it but i'm dumb

[nova sable]

Is the expedition still broken

[mellow dove]

Hi guys im on dig 3 and need to go to purple star but i cannot because i dont have living glass, can somebody help me with it?

[remote thunder]

in short:

• living glass bp and required bps (lubricant; glass can be refined from silicate powder) can be unlocked from anomaly/synthesis laboratory
• you're going to either buy or harvest gamma root. only non-station npc pilots can have plants for sale. any planet with gamma root on resource will have gamma weed plants, you'll need hazmat gauntlet exosuit tech to harvest them

[remote thunder]

broken as in, the glitch that insta completed rdv milestones and now prevents some players from progressing further? not afaik

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[nova sable]

Apparently some npcs are buried alive lmao

[remote thunder]

that one's easily fixed by disabling mp+save+reload, but that was already patched in 5.62 so it shouldn't be happening anymore

Fixed an issue that could block interaction with Galactic Palaeology Society representatives at dig sites during the Relics expedition.

[nova sable]

Ah got it lol

Thanks

[tawdry fossil]

Anyone else having issues where giving Cronus the broth isn't updating the expedition???? I've tried exiting the game and coming back, and it's still not updating...

[faint mesa]

Weird. I'm pretty sure my ship already had the purple drive (but I started from a new save; not sure if it makes a difference)

[remote thunder]

yeah, all starter ships do have atlantid drive - they probably just exchanged ships and forgot to store it, happens

[remote thunder]

happened to me as well, i just gave him a softned marrow i still had and that completed it

[tawdry fossil]

ah. I'll give that a try

I just handed him a bone.... nothing special... just a bone... and it freaking updated.... lol.

[faint mesa]

That'd make sense
Also, I finally checked all the rewards for these last two expeditions and finally HG was generous with SC layout on the staves 😅

[remote thunder]

😄

power up!

[faint mesa]

I did the same, giving the stuff I actually cooked wasn't even an option lol

Cronus ate raw bones. Crazy.

[tawdry fossil]

lol, frankly, I think he'd eat a rock.

[faint mesa]

Ooohh... I almost did that. Was trying to troubleshoot, changed the place of the meal to the first slot in my inventory, nothing... then gave the bone and the milestone was completed.
Nice for future reference.

[royal tundra]

So I finished the expedition and now can’t find ancient bones on the galaxy map. Am I doing something wrong?

[remote thunder]

ancient bones resource availability is shown on a planet's resource list, not in the galaxy map. just hop around, you'll find some eventually

[eager frost]

the worst parts of this expedition:

• digging for fossils
• fishing for the bonefish

the rest was enjoyable, even the guardian combat

[vale kayak]

where's relics role 😦

Oh and Titan too

[atomic estuary]

We stopped adding new roles after the cursed, expedition 16 felt like a good place to stop

[vale kayak]

okay fair enough

[atomic estuary]

You can still grab expeditionist role

[vale kayak]

I wouldn't cos I have missed few expeditions 😦 but thanks anyway

[muted valley]

Agreed for the bonefish.

[vernal sluice]

I enjoyed the expedition my first one, I got a little frustrated with a couple things but overall a good experience. One question however, I got the cool skeleton dinosaur staff and was looking forward to it being with me after I ended the expedition and I don’t have. Was that supposed to happen cause it was really cool and I wanted it.

I’m sure it’s gone now and I can’t get it back.

[remote thunder]

goto quicksilver shop in your primary character, claim it from the "collect expedition rewards" dialog option

you'll see basilisk crown there

[vernal sluice]

Oh no shit really?

[remote thunder]

it's an account wide reward yeah

can be claimed once per character

[vernal sluice]

That’s awesome thank you!

I have to go look

[broken pike]

Another expedition done and... forgot to move my items back lmao

[fierce haven]

game explodes

[remote thunder]

the dissonance energy is strong with this one

[vernal sluice]

Thank you for the help I had no idea rewards were in the other area.

Much appreciated

[raw ruin]

The glitchfest has returned

[brazen wadi]

is a skull bone supposed to be rare lol

[upper phoenix]

What bait do you guys use to catch bonefish

[quaint urchin]

I haven't had any issues finding skulls on Xbox Series X or PC (Steam).

[quaint urchin]

Fish with Shadow Lures at night in water that is at least 50U deep.

[misty plinth]

I used a shadow lure in very deep water at night on a non-toxic planet.

[quaint urchin]

If it isn't deep enough when you get there, use your Terrain Manipulator.

[upper phoenix]

How do i know if its 500u deep

[quaint urchin]

Only 50U is required, not 500. When you cast your lure into the water you can cycle the HUD to see how deep it is.

It's left on D-Pad or H on keyboard.

To cycle the HUD...

[upper phoenix]

Ty so much

[autumn nova]

Does anybody have two extra limbs? I could get off of them tomorrow around 2:00 PM Eastern standard time I’m trying to do the relics expedition and it will not let me grab the ancient bones underneath of the terrain that I can’t manipulate. If anyone has an extra two limbs, they are willing to give. I would really appreciate it because I’m literally stuck on this mission. And it won’t change the location to a different one. It just keeps finalizing the same location where the fossil is that I need.

[dim grove]

you could try going to a different planet with bones

[autumn nova]

I can’t remember cause I had to get ready for work but whatever galaxy I’m in there’s only one planet that has ancient bones. Should I just warp to a different galaxy and then look for bones on that planet I just don’t want it to keep tracking the same thing.

[brazen wadi]

is the bone companion limited time only? you can only get it in expeditions?

[supple lintel]

Is this expedition just kinda buggy in general? Because I have seen some seriously weird stuff, like a pirate dreadnought battle…with missiles but no ships. Also lots of weird stuff with NPCs and fauna movements.

[brazen wadi]

is there a deep ocean planet near dig site 3?

[ruby cosmos]

What am I doing wrong? Trying to complete snapshot in time, I have taken 30 screenshots from all different angles without my character or my ship in the shot. Have tried up close and far away.

[ruby cosmos]

No but dig site 4 has 2 plants

[brazen wadi]

oh i think i found a nearby planet with water

does the expedition give you bionic lures? or i have to find the recipe somehow

[ruby cosmos]

Yes after finishing snapshot in time you will receive the lures

[brazen wadi]

oo ok

[quaint urchin]

In case it helps, I have done it on 3 different saves and I was in the photo each time.

Go to a location where Fauna gather in groups and drop some creature pellets.

If there are some off to the side, throw some to them to lure them in.

[frozen laurel]

Which platform are you on?

[ruby cosmos]

Xbox

[frozen laurel]

Try these: #nms-expedition message

[ruby cosmos]

Have tried grouping them up and using creature pellets, I appreciate the advice though

[quaint urchin]

Down on D-Pad, select Photo (Camera) Icon, then take the picture like it says.

If that's not working, try to Disable Multiplayer, create a Restore Point, and quit the game.

When you load back in, try it again.

Sometimes Multiplayer causes strange issues.

I did it on Xbox Series X yesterday.

Oh yea, I always do Expeditions with Multiplayer disabled. It causes more problems than the value it adds if you ask me. Lol

[ruby cosmos]

Got it to work thanks for the help!

[quaint urchin]

Nice!! Congratulations!!

[ruby cosmos]

First cast got the bone fish! No lure on planet Romseyc I12

[upbeat fulcrum]

Is that intentional or a bug? I can transfer more than one spaceship from the main game to the expedition for nanites ...

[languid spoke]

intentional as it goes both ways

but why would you transfer more than one ship to the expedition?

[viral latch]

am i right in saying when i end my expedition all my unsold upgrades turn into nanites so i don't need to go sell them first

[remote thunder]

yes, afaik that's what it's supposed to do. that said, i'd recommend storing them in exosuit inventory

[median sparrow]

Uhhh... why does my game tell me I did not complete Titan expedition?

[remote thunder]

are you in the cross save beta?

[median sparrow]

I am but I only play on one platform.

And I moved from PS to PC when it was first introduced.

[remote thunder]

and completed exp17 on pc?

[median sparrow]

Yeah.

[remote thunder]

was the save you're trying to claim exp17 rewards in created on pc?

wait, perhaps a exp18 save you just made?

[median sparrow]

I use my primary save for all expeditions.

No it was not created it on PC.
