nms-expedition

[median sparrow]

Created on PS, moved to PC.

[remote thunder]

then completed exp17 started from that character, and you could claim rewards in the primary character after completing exp17, right?

[median sparrow]

Yeah.

I've never had any issues before.

[remote thunder]

ok so - then you've also started an exp18 save from that same primary character, i assume - when did you realize you couldn't claim exp17 stuff anymore?

[median sparrow]

Normally I'll complete the expedition but not claim from the vendor because I don't want the annoying notification of an egg hatching.

I'm in my primary save currently, was about to start Exp18.

[remote thunder]

ah ok so, you've just realized it

[median sparrow]

And wanted to go and check some stuff from the vendor like I usually do.

Yeah.

[remote thunder]

so just launched, went to anomaly, not available/complete exp17

[median sparrow]

Correct.

[remote thunder]

yeah, i'd raise a bug report asap

[median sparrow]

😦

[remote thunder]

basically

tell them what you told me, more or less in the same order

ps->pc cross save, then completed exp17 with that character on pc, everything was fine you double checked anomaly qs shop. same character tries to do the same today, unable/says complete exp17

you'll probably want to attach a zip of your affected save file

[median sparrow]

Oooh. I gotta get my save file then.

[remote thunder]

yeah, easy, let me know if you need any guidance with that

[median sparrow]

Probably do.

I'm in the NMS directory and see GAMEDATA and Binaries.

[remote thunder]

save folder isn't there

[median sparrow]

Appdata, it's ALWAYS the appdata lol.

And sent.

I don't wanna start Exp 18 if they need to change my save so I suppose I can wait.

[agile tangle]

Can we go to other galaxies in expedition? I tried warping to the galactic core but I was put back to the beginning planet. Also what is a complete fossil?

[remote thunder]

after gathering the components needed, you assemble the fossil later

Can we go to other galaxies in expedition? I tried warping to the galactic core
that's interesting - yeah, not the first time something similar has happened - for example, black holes returning us to the starter system. just goes to show how much devs can play around in expedition mode

[vague fulcrum]

for some reason the expedition keeps crashing my game, does anyone know why

[remote thunder]

have you tried disabling multiplayer, or you don't even have time to do that much? what platform are you on?

[vague fulcrum]

Yh I tried disabling multiplayer alr. I'm on a laptop but this is the first time I experienced the game crashing

[remote thunder]

well could be a bug, might have even already been fixed on steam experimental branch. when was the last time you updated gpu (both integrated and dedicated) drivers?

[vague fulcrum]

Like a month and a half ago

[remote thunder]

dont know your specs, but new drivers get released like every month almost it seems

latest nvidia release was march 18th

@vague fulcrum basically, would need more info to go on, and this is going to be a topic for #nms-questions / #964865106334875698 thread

[vague fulcrum]

Ok, I js came here BCS it is only happening to me in the expedition

[agile tangle]

Thanks

[gilded crypt]

where can i find skeletton fish?

i am on a poisonouns planet

[raw ruin]

Has to be nighttime with a depth of 50u or greater

[gilded crypt]

hmmm ok

now im at 53 depth

[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. min depth 50u.

[gilded crypt]

hmmm in portuguese the planet info says "poisonouns"

is there such thing as poisonouns planet and toxic planet?

like, two different types of planet

[remote thunder]

any planet with fungal mould on resource list is a planet/moon of the toxic biome

[hexed bolt]

do I need to keep (or collect) the vigilant stone for anything

[gilded crypt]

fishing at 57 depth

no luck yet

[median sparrow]

Ok just so I remember correctly, Titan had stuff we needed to do in a deep ocean right?

[remote thunder]

yep

[median sparrow]

Okay then I definitely did Titan lol.

[hexed bolt]

should I sell the avian thing I built?

[remote thunder]

you can, yeah, once those milestones are done and claimed, certainly

it'll contribute to phase 5 milestone 7

[limpid swift]

anyone got coordinates for a toxic deep water planet?

[remote thunder]

there's one in rdv3

[limpid swift]

Yea. I was there. but most ive got was 33u

[remote thunder]

57u here; try and see if there's uploaded player bases that say "fishing spot"

[limpid swift]

got it in the end. thx

[young notch]

this expedition was pretty chill and didnt really have any pain points for me, nice

the other 2 i did had some issues that got addressed in following patches

[hexed bolt]

Annoying, they give you all these starship upgrades and dont give you enough slots to equip half the upgrades

[prisma tundra]

they probably figure you'd find another ship

[hexed bolt]

even that isnt coming with enough tech slots and there is no way youd be finding enough crap to fix up a broken ship

The fact is ships are too expensive to bother with during an expedition

[primal rapids]

I always bring some things to sell at the start just in case
Found this at Dig site 2, Adrielde system yesterday

Thought forsure it was another players till I seen the ai pilot standing next to it.

[spice topaz]

How's the new expedition?

The last one was so bad I couldn't even bother finishing it

[hexed bolt]

very similar to every other one in that its nothing groundbreaking... except that you spend half the time breaking ground 😛

[spice topaz]

Ahh that sucks

Oh well

How are the awards?

Reward *

[hexed bolt]

all major rewards were put in the patch notes

[remote thunder]

honestly, i love the new armor set

[scenic iron]

Guys, how deep I need to fish to get the bonefish? I'm in 62 or 63 deep in my position on toxic planet, it's not night time btw, but does it requires to be night?

[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. min depth 50u.

[scenic iron]

Ah gotcha! So I'm definitely doing right on the deeper than 50 and I'm in toxic using bionic lure, thank you!

[remote thunder]

if night time, try shadow lure

[scenic iron]

I'm daytime for now

[young notch]

it's pretty chill tbh

as i said right before your stuff, i found the previous 2 majorly annoying in a few ways but this was just pretty much a straight shot

[hexed bolt]

Do i need to keep the Hadal Cores or sell em?

[rain raft]

Don't need them for the expedition. I bring mine back to my main save

[brittle totem]

Hey, has anyone found these?

I did the expedition, got a lot of fossils...

But fossils are so far always static, and I have never seen these 2 "guards"

Just the flying one

Are these not implemented yet or what?

Photos taken from the NMS's steam store page video

[remote thunder]

i've not seen them yet. there doesn't seem to be any way to trigger them from vigilant stones, and i've not found any POI looking like that either

[brittle totem]

Ok, good to know I'm not missing something like that either

Should be coming in the next few weeks, hopefully :)

[quaint urchin]

A couple of the Vigilant Stones in one of my playthroughs revealed a stone giant that walked around shooting at me. I hit it with the Paralysis Mortar and it started dancing. It was funny!

[sharp pivot]

Please don't put fishing in future expeditions it's too painful to endure

But the rest was fun and I learned about galaxy rushing

[quaint urchin]

Yea, the way they did this fishing thing was not great. Having the Rare fish made it super difficult for a lot of players. However, the other fish was just uncommon and ended up being so much easier.

My first run I went the hard way and caught the Rare one. My next two I went to a normal water planet and fished at night with the Shadow Lures.

This link showed me the light: #nms-expedition message

It's so much easier and faster. And, if the water isn't already 50 U deep you can just clear it out with the Terrain Manipulator.

[steady skiff]

anyone else having trouble with taking a picture of a group of 5 ground animals?

im not sure what to do

[quaint urchin]

What System?

PS, Xbox, or PC?

[steady skiff]

nintendo switch

[quaint urchin]

Ahhh, find a planet with groups of Fauna (I used the starter planet).

Craft some Creature Pellets and toss 1 out to make them start gathering.

If you don't get 5 or more, look around and try to lure some more to your location. Then when you get enough take the picture.

[steady skiff]

oh good idea! i just found a small group thats spread out, ill try that

[quaint urchin]

If you haven't already got the milestone for digging though the dung samples, be sure to stick around and do that one afterwards. Feeding them will make poops sooner or later. Lol

[steady skiff]

oh yeah, just checked, i need 20 samples xd

got the picture! thanks

i think ill some walls around all of the creatures, maybe it would make that milestone easier

[quaint urchin]

Maybe, maybe not. You want them to be able to move out of the way so you can gather the samples.

Just drop another pellet once in a while and you can even use them to lure them away from the poops you need to collect.

[steady skiff]

okay

[sharp pivot]

I got 3 legendary fish before the freaking "uncommon" fish and even had night bait, 70u water + toxic world

[quaint urchin]

Yea, it seems like Toxic world just gets in the way. I did the Icy planet in the starter system this last run and it only took 7 Shadow Lures.

how much i need to wait for animal to shat themselfs

[brittle totem]

I think that fishing was not that bad. It was in the tooltip where you needed to go for the bonefish. I went to an "ultra ocean" planet at night and got it within 20 minutes.

[night slate]

Hi

[brittle totem]

Hi

[night slate]

Does anyone want to play and I can help him?

[brittle totem]

You mean as you need help?

What does thou need?

[night slate]

No

I want to help people

[brittle totem]

Ohh

[night slate]

If anyone wants money

[brittle totem]

Try #nms-lfg-or-trades , LFG stands for looking for group

[night slate]

Ok

Thx

[sharp pivot]

doesnt say about type of bait, how deep water needs to be, etc

And its still a low odd with toxic + deep + night + night bait

For an uncommon

I got 3 legendaries before that

[remote thunder]

shouldn't be more than a minute or two, provided that there arent any predators around, and that you're not neither harvesting them for produce nor mining stuff around. that said, not all creatures poop even after fed, for example turtles. be sure to have multiplayer disabled too, throw a pellet on the ground next to a group of ground animals/your typical herbivores for example will do just fine

[soft wave]

thank you already did that made a poop party

[sharp pivot]

Find a crowd for best results and just do catering

You will have more uncooked fertilizer samples than you know what to do with

[sly sedge]

Anyone doing the expedition right now? I need a taxi to the final system.

[white perch]

Kicking myself in the butt. Anyone knows any route to finding memory stones?

[brittle totem]

There is no need for an specific bait. You don't need one, although it's easier with a good bait.

As for how deep, I agree.

[white perch]

I found bonefish maleworms in deep ocean water. Went to the middle and had it in about 10-15m

[remote thunder]

any ruin world will have memory stones - look for them using visor - there's a ruin world on every rendezvous system

[young notch]

i saw one when clearing stones but it was bugged out and just sat there

[white perch]

I feel I’m bugged cause I saw them all over the place and now nothing

[young notch]

the big rock statue guard

[remote thunder]

but are you on a ruin world?

[white perch]

A relic world is the one that says Ancient Bones right?

[remote thunder]

not necessarily

[remote thunder]

<image>, in beige, the ruin world synonyms

[white perch]

Bk you saved my bacon bits again 🙂

[brittle totem]

I should make a request to add a in-game key to switch these names to the group name

All the different names and all are cool, but man, sometimes it's confusing

[remote thunder]

not a bad idea 🙂

[sand plover]

only just found out the Relics expedition is live because there wasn't an announcement in #nms-announcements woopsie

[median sparrow]

You still got loads of time. 🙂

[broken pike]

Dig site 2 was pretty good with them ants. I had maybe 8 in one spot. Good way to knock out dung samples too.

[white perch]

Sorry for sounding painfully stupid but what is the reason for staying in an expedition once it’s over? Is it really the best for Nanite hunting?

[remote thunder]

these are the activities that lead to extra nanites and units; some players like to hang back to explore expedition route worlds, or maybe to help someone in need

[turbid folio]

Man this bonefish is a pain to catch

[remote thunder]

try a different planet maybe? remember that non-toxic biome planets (don't have fungal mould on resource list) can only fish at night time to work; could use shadow lure when fishing at night, or even with no bait at all. for example, some players have had luck with the ancient bones waterworld in rendezvous 4 system (could skip the fishing milestone for now, if it's not your last already)

[brittle totem]

There is an oceanic planet either in one of the expedition's systems, or in one of the path. You could also try glyph exchange

But one with water and fungal mould might be easier

[remote thunder]

@turbid folio also, ofc, remember, minimum depth is 50u

[turbid folio]

Ok!

[tough oak]

Hi, phase 4 principle field agent, are there even bones on that water planet or is it bugged?

[remote thunder]

just go to a different rendezvous system you've been to before, then teleport back to rdv4 (be sure to visit the station of the system)

should see space station destinations on the teleporter, with subnames like "rendezvous 3", or "rendezvous 2"

[tough oak]

ok, thanks for the tip!

target sweep would say bones are there but to far away to give distance. if go to the bottom of the ocean, target sweep didnt activate. wasnt sure if bones were there or not. i'll go to a previous planet like you suggested

[turbid folio]

caught the fish on r4 planet 🙏 thank you BK

[indigo saffron]

[lunar hinge]

Anyone in expedition need a ship?

It ought to be free. Super charged slots are decently placed, this is the copy I brought from my main save so I won't lose it, and I found another one at the first station I stopped at.

[sharp pivot]

It is

Even with meeting ALL requirements from a reddit guide took me almost 1 irl hour

• Night
• Toxic
• 50+ u depth
• Shadow bait

The worst thing is the fish is classified as uncommon meanwhile you can easily reel in legendaries well before it

[lunar hinge]

They'll honestly take almost any bait.. from my experiences.

[sharp pivot]

interesting

I used night bc of the guide bc fishing is well... yeah

You kinda just sit there and pray to the rng lords

I mean at least nms has auto fishing even if its approach was simple

[lunar hinge]

Yeah, night time and depth matter.. but bait.. I used everything even other fish.. chocolate and seas bounty.. they don't really seem to care what's on the line.

[sharp pivot]

I guess they outta update the guide then since I followed it word for word bc that fish was my second to last one done before i finished expedition

I even did 80 bones and 2.5 mil before that

[lunar hinge]

You followed the guide for the best odds... So you got legendary fish 😅

[sharp pivot]

Though unfortunately as time goes on the discovery quests are gonna be harder and harder to do as more things around get scanned oof

[young notch]

i got the fish first try when i went to the proper depth

[sharp pivot]

Lucky.

It took me too long even with 50 u

[lunar hinge]

But you're aiming for b class... Not s class

[sharp pivot]

i even mined out a trench

[young notch]

it did take a while trying to get to night side of the planet

[sharp pivot]

to make it 70 u bc apparently from guide more depth = higher odds

[young notch]

🤔

[lunar hinge]

I did fish at 1000u

[sharp pivot]

marina trench right there

[lunar hinge]

Waterworlds

[sharp pivot]

Mining the area was also a double win

[lunar hinge]

There's a few along the way

[sharp pivot]

bc theres a quest that makes you mine A LOT of ground in last phase

[lunar hinge]

Yeah I switched to levelling mode after my 80 bones.

Levelled a mountain.

[sharp pivot]

I dug the underwater trench for depth tbh

I didn't even realize there was a quest for it til it popped up as finished

[lunar hinge]

Digging through poop is a funny one 😂

[sharp pivot]

the recipe ones are just google or trial and error and i did the 2nd

That one is

Find a crowd, ideally dinos or whoever eats plants and won't try to bite you

feed everyone or drop catering meal and just... wait

took me 5 mins tops bc some are slow to do it

[lunar hinge]

Two bone marrows... I felt like an idiot

[lunar hinge]

I threw pellets into a pit. It was like a funnel

[sharp pivot]

then some guy comes and he has fun too after i leave and hes like you lucky i only had 1 animal

i just combined whatever

too many bones and you only need 4-5 sets to make 2.5

[lunar hinge]

Bro...

I had to mark those quests and revisit all the rendezvous

[sharp pivot]

i went from being broke / starting off to being well into 8 figures already

after learning how to rush

[lunar hinge]

Are you still in the expedition?

[sharp pivot]

I finished last night

[lunar hinge]

Shoot

[sharp pivot]

I got 20 mil units / 20k nanites

and 2000 qs

I bought a b class bc too painful to wait for a/s ship

[lunar hinge]

I'm getting rid of this first, then I'll conclude it.

[sharp pivot]

solar's view sucks but better than my first ship bc at the time i did not realize you needed nanites to copy...

dang an s nice

[lunar hinge]

Ya... That's why I refuse to conclude rn.. it would be such a shame no one got it.

[sharp pivot]

fair

i feel more need it than me

bc i am rather well off now

I have contraband / treasures ranging from hundred thousands to millions just sitting in inv after taking from expedition

idk if i should just line my pockets or maybe give to some random player / raffle if that is allowed ig

[lunar hinge]

I brought that one over from my main, and found a blue one with the short top sail in blue immediately after visiting my first station..

[sharp pivot]

dang

[lunar hinge]

Then I found a base marking an A class sentinel with a korvax NPC there willing to give it to me for free..

So I have that too

[sharp pivot]

dang

i only really made a tiny shack with bulk refineries / tele outside

and its in a secluded system in case people wanna try to "borrow" stuff

[lunar hinge]

If it wasn't for the expeditions I wouldn't know what to do...
I basically spend a day jumping from one Lush galaxy to another without any real goals in mind 😅

[sharp pivot]

i might try galaxy jumping if theres a faster way to travel

the animation for it is gonna get old real fast if you are going 200 or even 300-400 ly and theres 500k+ ly to do...

i think 20-30% of my expedtion was just sitting through warp speed tbh

especially when rushing to get plants / rocks discovered bc that's gonna only get harder as expedition goes on

i have pity for those that join in last week or even 2nd

[lunar hinge]

I use gates and go from there.. It is long, and it the cutscenes leaving one galaxy to enter another and going through the systems check is long... So I'll do something on the side, and check in from time to time... and after maybe 3-5 galaxy hops it's usually safer to exit app and restart it, cause my game will crash... like processing more than 5 galaxies is too much for ps5

[sharp pivot]

I havent heard of gates but I guess I'll try it out

I do want to eventually try permadeath but expedition had too many close calls as i rushed

[lunar hinge]

The Leyline portals..

[sharp pivot]

i was on 1 hp a bunch and i only recently learned that your hp DOES NOT regen like other games so you have to actually heal...

[lunar hinge]

do 1111111111111 and you get within 5000ly of center usually

[lunar hinge]

You need to make sure you have all your resources first.

and don't underestimate the power of tech

[sharp pivot]

ah

Yeah I need to really remember that bc i really only took S

and just had bare minimum for resource

i forgot to have o2 for life support or na for haz at some points

[lunar hinge]

started a permadeath run not long ago.. not all that more difficult honestly.

[sharp pivot]

i suppose

nothing seems to be changed other than if you go that's it

even if its games fault

[lunar hinge]

and resources limit at like 250 or something instead of 9999

[sharp pivot]

250

[lunar hinge]

any stack ?/? are halved.

[sharp pivot]

OH OKAY.

Lord that is gonna hurt

250 doesnt seem half of 9999...

[lunar hinge]

I'll double check. 500

[sharp pivot]

just 500

Eeeeeugh.

i am gonna probably be slower than my tortoise on perma

and would have to make a really big base just to store the stacks tinier than stacks of paper on college finals

at least thank god expedition still stacks to 9999

[lunar hinge]

on your person it's 500 but I think in storage, on your ship, or your freighter, its 9999 as usual...
I'm only doing it for the achievements.. survival and permadeath which can both be done in permadeath

[sharp pivot]

i totally did not have that for carbon for my furnaces

thats interesting

but lowering the stack size on person is just...

way more tedious

instead of harder

[lunar hinge]

just means you stop mining sooner

[sharp pivot]

which is unfortunate

i would love a backpack expander

sometimes even scrolling down from it isnt enough

[copper ravine]

Is there an easy way to find planets with storm crystals

[prisma tundra]

yes, if they have activated stellar metal, then they have extreme storms and likely storm crystals during said storms

[copper ravine]

Activated stellar metal? What’s that.

[prisma tundra]

activated copper, activated cadmium, activated emeril, activated indium, activated quartzite

they're the activated forms of the regular stellar metals (copper, cadmium, emeril, indium, quartzite)

[copper ravine]

Thank you

[prisma tundra]

you're welcome

[warm gyro]

If I start Relics on my main, will all the rewards etc be save wide then?

[frozen laurel]

Redeem and claim rewards from any save on the account from the Quicksilver merchant.

[warm gyro]

This isn`t a redux though

Thanks

Bedie bye ime anyways

[flat quartz]

any advice to take a photo of 5 ground creatures in a group??

like could I just make a farm?

[sly sedge]

I just walked around a planet until I found 5 in a group.

[prisma tundra]

the only difference between a redux and a regular expedition is a shorter time period (usually 2 weeks for redux vs 6 weeks for regular) and the redux is the "return" expeditions beyond the first/initial time it happened

[sly sedge]

Paradise planets usually have the highest frequency of ground creatures. Land on one and look for groups.

[flat quartz]

im on a bountiful one but i mean even on the right planet I only find clusters of flying enemies

also they run around

[prisma tundra]

throw a creature pellet from quick menu to gather them nearby

[flat quartz]

got it ty

[fleet vapor]

Do vigilant eyes have any use other than selling?

[misty parrot]

What is the Phase 4 "Collect a Complete Fossil"? isnt that what ive been doing, building them on the plith?

[warm gyro]

Thats build a fossil. Collect enough and phase completes. Then you go build one with Z (pc) and I assume it should be a base? maybe after building it, as itspackable and sellable, one can sell the one for the phase mission after completing the mission

Click on the mission, spam it til it shows lower right screen and the count of what you need will be there

I think this is correct:-) Nite. Cheers

[flat quartz]

whats the reciepe for bone broth?

nvm i figured it out

[wispy marten]

You need to find the bone pieces of one fossil. Like 1 head 1 torso 2 lidgements and 1 tail pieces.

[hot blade]

so I can't re-run the expo from my main save again? did I hallucinate that I could?

[toxic mortar]

Yup. You probably did a redux

[dusty hedge]

Been away from the game for a few months now. Is there anything I should know going into this expedition? Anything i should make sure to send through equipment wise?

[raw ruin]

Lots of digging mainly. There is a milestone where you need to collect 80 fossils

[wintry void]

Mainly fuel, pulse, take off and warp, thsts what you are doing Mainly

[bronze flume]

I can't get to the 3rd quest galaxy plz help

[slow jay]

is the relics expedition still up?

[sharp pivot]

Don't forget the bonefish that is a pain to get even with meeting all its requirements

besides discovering new plants / rocks that will get harder as relics time goes on

Ahh yes, the impossible-to-get bonefish

[gilded crypt]

is it that hard to catch the skelleton fish?

im running out of baits

fishing at night, 50~60 depth, poisonous planet

[sharp pivot]

it's very difficult

i have caught legendaries before that "uncommon" fish

we love rng

[broken pike]

Check the pin. It seems to be easier on that planet.

Friend of mine caught it faster.

Are you using Shadow Lure?

[gilded crypt]

No

I was using "bionic lure"

a green one

[sharp pivot]

I used shadow lure, was on toxic planet, 50 u depth, dug a trench for 70 u depth to increase odds with deeper depth

almost 1 hour to catch it

[exotic timber]

bionic lure is fine on that planet since the whispering is a legendary

[sharp pivot]

And yet I caught legendaries and stuff way before the uncommon rarity bonefish, something not adding up with odds %

(probably a good reason why fishing is really slept on)

[faint mesa]

It's random (as the concept of rng suggests lol).
I think I had an average experience. Used bionic lures, but went to the planet in rendezvous 4 on the pins. It took a bit of time, but nothing offensive. Perhaps some 20min?

[sharp pivot]

i would rather force myself to do mei another rather than enduring the wait of catching an uncommon tiered fish that has way more benchmarks than a reading test tbh

i went to 2 bc of the guide since i was there at the time, has deep water / toxic as well

but i suppose 4 is the new norm bc dig site 4

[gilded crypt]

Got it

the shadow lure made the difference

[sharp pivot]

congrats

it took me almost 1 irl hour

[peak ibex]

What should I prep for this expedition?

[wintry void]

Fuel, lots of fuel

[sharp pivot]

Also S class tech / things to sell for nanites bc copying your best stuff can get expensive

I only needed 10 warp cells tbh so it's not as much fuel as one needs and that's only a couple stacks of the lower tiered ones

[tired ivy]

Frigate fuel?

[wintry void]

Warp, take off and pulse

[tired ivy]

ohhh ty

[wintry void]

Or like i did, uranium for take off, pyrite for pulse

[lime hazel]

Same bruh 😭

Spending half my time just collecting fuel

[peak ibex]

And this time I'll remember to turn PVP off first thing so I don't get griefed again

[fierce haven]

What size are the bonefish?

[raw ruin]

Medium

[fierce haven]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "UNCOMMON"?

lel, it took me forever to find these, so its surprising

[devout vale]

fisch aah shi

rng makes me mad

[steady skiff]

What’s a good way to find memory stones?

[fierce haven]

I think those are the things on ruined planets. Try landing on one of those and look around

[spark dock]

Do we have a fix cor the serior field agent bug yet? I cant find anything that works sadly

[bitter anchor]

It took me 4 hours and I was helping my friend yesterday and they got it in two tries

[ruby anvil]

So, expeditions rewards can be claimed multiple times from different saves. But, can they also be claimed in the main save and in an expedition that is launched from the said main save ? Wouldn't want to claim something on the expedition and not be able to get it on the main save ^^'
Edit: nvm, gunter showed me the answer after I searched for "claim"
Edit 2: seems I need to pay nanites to get them though
Edit 3: not for all of them, I'm confused

[onyx dust]

Digging noises.

[acoustic jacinth]

i finished the expedition

[acoustic jacinth]

I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole. Diggy Diggy hole. Diggy Diggy hole.

[onyx dust]

:D

[onyx dust]

Congratulations

[acoustic jacinth]

thanks, the Archeologist milestone was one of the hardest i ever did, even the 5 creatures in a photo one too

[somber remnant]

yay done with the expedition!

[fierce haven]

Will they ever redux omega?

Unlikely tho, at least for a long time

[oak kiln]

Is milestone 2 on phase 4 supposed to be impossible in the system you arrive in?

[remote thunder]

yeah just get bones from a different system then teleport back to rdv4 - dont forget to visit its station

[oak kiln]

Fantastic

[sharp pivot]

It's very difficult

Unless you wanna dig in water for some reason go to diff area

[oak kiln]

Yeah I don’t plan on being crushed by water today

[sharp pivot]

Im glad i brought my warp cells and hyper upgrades

travel has never been so easy

if you have valuables and stuff expedition easily nets 8 figures

i got over 20 mil so uh idk what to do atm

[oak kiln]

More money

[sharp pivot]

(please let us buy upgrades with units instead of nanites)

[oak kiln]

Agreed

[misty plinth]

Outlaw systems - suspicious tech - gamble away those units

[sharp pivot]

rip

guess i need to go to the dark side

dealing with space security and pirates is bad enough

[fierce haven]

Okay, forget the bonefish,, THIS might be the hardest mission

[heady pilot]

Not really no. The simplest way to do it is to be near a large group of creature and throw a food pellet on the ground...that will feed a bunch of them at the same time...and each creature poops twice before needing to be fed again. So if you can find a group of 10 creature you could do it with a single food pellet.

[raw ruin]

It took 15 minutes to do. It's not that challenging. No RNG compared to the fishing one. Arguably, the most tedious is the 80 fossils

[fossil bronze]

i m stuck in the fishing expedition, i got nothing to craft lure. im missing the gamma roots to craft bionic lure

[heady pilot]

There is another milestone in the expedition that rewards you with 40 bionic lures. I don't remember which but there is. Failing that you can always try for the any biome nocturnal B class bonefish...for that one you're better off with low quality bait or no bait.

[quaint urchin]

Don't go that route... Craft the Shadow Lures instead. They require Cyto-phosphate. Next, only fish at night using the Shadow Lures. The fish any time bonefish is Rare, but the one you catch at Night is only Uncommon so it is much easier to catch. Ref: #nms-expedition message

[raw ruin]

If you have RNG on your side, you don't really need lures for the milestone, just make sure you are fishing during the night.

[heady pilot]

I mean you do get 40 bionic lures for free from another milestone so you might as well use those during the day when waiting for the night again. And moving the ship when it turns day isn't very viable because finding depth between 55 and 70u is a pain, not to mention that moving to a place where it just turned night vs half way through the night or worse on top of finding the optimal water depth is significantly more obnoxious so you might as well do this on a toxic planet and make use of the day as well.

[heady pilot]

And during the day if you are doing this on a toxic planet...which you should be because you might as well do something during the day other than afk.

[quaint urchin]

Just like anything else in the game, it is up to the individual what they would like to do. If you want to do it on a Toxic planet and fish around the clock, then by all means do so.

However, on my 3rd time doing the Expedition I did that milestone on the Ice planet in the Starter system. I used only 7 Shadow Lures and I was done with the Milestone.

If you land and the water isn't 50U deep, pull out your terrain manipulator and make it as deep as you want it. It doesn't take too long actually.

[fossil bronze]

does matter the plannet with shadow lure?

[quaint urchin]

No, just fish at night in water that is at least 50U deep and you should be good.

[fossil bronze]

don’t matter if the water is not radioactive

[cold tulip]

No

I just got it on the second cast lol

[sharp vale]

I need help. GPS part 4 - the only planet in the system that has bones is a waterworld. do I have swim to the bottom to find the bones??

[strong solar]

What's with all the outpost icons? I usually have multiplayer on and see a bunch of bases. But I have it off and it seems they're NPC?

Expedition save not primary

[misty plinth]

I don't know of anyone reporting that they found bones on that planet. Look for what you need on another planet in another system to complete that milestone.

[misty parrot]

I don't understand the milestone "Collect a complete Fossil"

it doesnt mean assemble one apparently, bc ivve done that numerous times

[brazen wadi]

so we actually have to mine 80 fossils

[misty parrot]

yeah not as hard as it seems, you';ll have to sell a lot too for a milestone. hard part is inv space

[brazen wadi]

yeah my inv is suffering rn

when i go to world 5 and select the principle field agent exp the scanner doesnt detect the bones for me

[misty parrot]

Anyone figure trhis one out

'

been asking for days

"I don't understand the milestone "Collect a complete Fossil""

[formal sparrow]

im trying to add my xbox save to my pc steam copy of no mans sky. anyone able to help

[prisma tundra]

Look at what the tooltip in the lower right says, it should say how to do it, from what I know, you place a fossil stand and put the bones in it

[brazen wadi]

who do i sell too? anyone is fine?

the fossils

also is it fine to sell the completed ones too?

[misty parrot]

That is for "reassemble a fossil" I need to "collect a fossil"

[misty plinth]

When you have the milestone selected as the active one does the help tip in the lower right say something like 1 head, 2 limbs, 1 ribcage and 1 tail? I think you need to dig the full set up and have it in your inventory to complete.

[misty plinth]

Better to ask that in nms-help

[misty plinth]

I used my salvaged data to pick up an exocraft geobay and used the exocraft for additional storage.

You could also pick up a cheap C class ship with decent inventory and purpose it to storage as well.

[brazen wadi]

oh i havent used geocrafts yet, how do you get one?

[misty plinth]

Have a decent amount of salvage data and go to the construction terminal on the Anomaly.

I think you only need 10 to get the first one.

[mossy herald]

Any word on the patch fix workaround for the bugged handing in a complete skeleton to the Field Agents for phase 2-5 for those who had the reach digsite 2-5 autocomplete?
Been locked out of completing the expedition since day 2 of its release and still cannot hand in those 4 milestones to complete everything 😢

[somber warren]

Im a new player, is it okay that i started my first save as expedition?

[languid spoke]

sure, it will convert to a normal save once you have completed it

[grim fossil]

Keep in mind expeditions aren’t designed for the first experience so you may find some aspects confusing without knowing some basic game mechanics you would normally get with the tutorial.

[frozen laurel]

Have enough bones in your inventory to complete the next skeleton. They can be in your backpack, ship, freighter, exocraft. I bought a second ship for bone storage that I call once I land at the rendezvous.

[somber warren]

I also got a firefighter for some reason in the expedition

Dont know what to do with it lul

[frozen laurel]

The expedition save will convert to a normal save at the end. Everything you unlock and collect will remain the same at the end.

[naive crypt]

Except for your sanity, that thing is gone

[stoic hollow]

ah, i love rng missions in my expeditions

😒

fishing is a pain

[bronze flume]

Can anyone help me with the expedition I can't reach the galaxy with the dig it 3 quest

[bronze flume]

What if you already own one

[frozen laurel]

There are two ways to start an expedition. From the main menu > Expedition. Or from an existing save > go to the Anomaly > start from the expedition terminal.
If you begin a new save as an expedition, your progress begins in the expedition and continues once it is over. If you start from an existing save, a freighter will not transfer back to your main save when the expedition ends. Only items you put into the terminal are able to be moved into your existing save.

[frozen laurel]

Make the mission active in the Log, then try again.

[bronze flume]

It says I need a item I'm making food so I can't check

[frozen laurel]

You can the milestones in any order. You can skip it until you have the materials.

[bronze flume]

Ok ty

[random pivot]

is there a derelict freighter by every rdv?

[random pivot]

get a Sentinel ship!

there's A class ones on the first rdv for freeeeee

[brazen wadi]

whats rdv

[frozen laurel]

Rendezvous

[remote thunder]

[brazen wadi]

that means first dig site right?

im already on 5th dig site

how many days left?

[copper trail]

huh kitac moon? i dont see that in rdv 1

i hate looking for planets, most of the timewhen you aim your cursor at the planet the info does not show

[remote thunder]

just mark it from discoveries

[brazen wadi]

i dont get the numbers, what is the 2nd number?

on the coords

[remote thunder]

first number, N/S; second number E/W

[vagrant quest]

guys where do i need to port for the 2. phase

[sharp basin]

if you have that mission requirement locked into your log choice it should show the destination in your galactic map

[meager geyser]

is the expedition with the living ship reward still active

aw

i completely forgot about it

[remote thunder]

exp17 has ended, currently live is exp18; exp17 will most likely get rerun later this year

[meager geyser]

at least they do that

[random pivot]

there's also a communication station there

I also put a save point

[peak ibex]

What's with the griefers?

[soft bear]

They got me as well… and of course my launch thrusters are down and now I can’t get off planet without going by foot to my grave, 17hour trip btw

[faint mesa]

Standard procedure for every new save: disable PvP.
For expeditions, better yet, disable MP entirely lol. Never had an issue with expeditions, always played them off-line.

[brazen wadi]

Yup finally found it. Wish we could see communication stations from far away

[devout vale]

what's the system's name for dig part 4

i js hit a bug that made me unlock each of the arrivals to the dig sites for free

[cold tulip]

Check the pins

[devout vale]

i did mb

[bronze flume]

It says I need an Atlantic drive how do I get one ?

[prisma tundra]

if you're in the expedition, your ship should already have it

[bronze flume]

I'll check

Oh ty I just need to build it

[lilac dagger]

I think I'm addicted to nms

😩

[bronze flume]

I need the material to build the thing to get the material 😩

[cold tulip]

Ur starting ship?

[keen orbit]

And why cant you?

[cold tulip]

That ship had the drive :/

[bronze flume]

Oh (ToT)

[keen orbit]

Because it auto completed before I got there so I can’t even travel there

To finish the expedition

[cold tulip]

Ohh yeah. Someone had that last night too

So prob not

that for sure you can

i wonder if...

what resources you'll get if you dismantle atlantid drive

Indian Atlantic and living glass

[remote thunder]

rare-ish bug - might be caused by multiplayer enabled, but rarely is also observed in single player (options/network/mp=disabled)

[mossy herald]

Reeee so frustrating. I'm trying to NOT have to repeat this on a different character

[dense hull]

okay acc started the expedition first one let’s see how this is

damn there’s 7 milestones in each one😭

thought it was fast i was like

[fierce kiln]

hey there everyone any idea how to get bone fish coz i cant find the deep spot to fish on dig 4 planet. everywhere i go its only 100 depth

[woeful wyvern]

100 is enough, only 50u required

[fierce kiln]

oooh alright thanks someone told me to get a spot like atleast 800 deep

[queen notch]

Head to Ligart Prime. It's a good planet

[fierce kiln]

alrighty ill try that

[queen notch]

It should have a deep enough lake

Also try making the nocturnal bait

[brazen wadi]

im at a sentinel ship but how do i trigger my visor to search for a harmonic brain and the other mats again?

[lilac dagger]

Take the mats from the crashed ship and then use the brain to scan for the structure

[brazen wadi]

i did

nothings happening

[lilac dagger]

When you hover over the item it doesn't say ~scan?

[brazen wadi]

when i probe this nothing happens

[lilac dagger]

Maybe it's from a different ship, idk. I have one in my inventory that doesn't work either

[brazen wadi]

should i turn off multiplayer lol

i grabbed it from this ship too

[lilac dagger]

Worth a shot

[misty plinth]

You need to have an inverted mirror and radiant shard in your inventory for the brain to "work" when you interact with it.

[lilac dagger]

Oo that makes sense

[brazen wadi]

oh ok im missing a mirror

how do i find those corrupted sentinels again?

[misty plinth]

Dissonant resonators - the drill looking things with the tall fin

[brazen wadi]

yep

[dusty hedge]

Is there a trick to defeating ancient guardians? Or do I just need to upgrade my weapon? It seems kinda difficult for being in the first leg of the expedition

[brazen wadi]

but i remember there was a way to locate them

[misty plinth]

Combat is supposed to scale somewhat to the tech you have equipped. It does feel easier though when you get better upgrades later.

I think one of the milestones gives you a scatter blaster and an upgrade module. If you have decent shielding and can keep close it works pretty well.

[dusty hedge]

Okay, sounds like I wanna upgrade my shields then cause I tried once and they were kicking my ass

[misty plinth]

The analysis visor should direct you to what you need when you use it.

[dusty hedge]

I'm also just not super used to combat cause you basically never need to worry about it

[brazen wadi]

ty

[misty plinth]

Combat doesn't sit well with everyone - I prefer not fighting even though I'm used to it. Just one of those things you have to make allowances for from time to time.

[random pivot]

the scatterblaster unlocked by a milestone makes it child's play

[brazen wadi]

this probe is so buggy, it scanned the area but the camera just zooms in a direction. doesnt tell me if a ancient site exists there

[random pivot]

taking on two or three at a time with no shield upgrade and it was just a cite little dance

[random pivot]

you should get a marker

[brazen wadi]

yeah i didnt

[random pivot]

IME it does the weird zoomy thing and then the marker comes after

somewhere

[brazen wadi]

then when i try to probe again nothing happens

[exotic timber]

Might want to just trash it and start on another system

Probably not worth the time to try to debug it

And close and restart the game and turn off multiplayer

[brazen wadi]

its so annoying i already spent so much time on this

trashed the brain and reloaded game

now the brain doesnt spawn in the ship anymore

is there a way to get this to respawn

like the brain

[misty plinth]

@brazen wadi If you're still on the dissonant planet you can find another ship and try again. The planet should have several.

[brazen wadi]

id have to fly around and look for one, wonder how long that will takje

[misty plinth]

@brazen wadi I don't know how you found the first one but you can look for communication stations and bases that might be near one. If not that way then maybe use an echo locator if you have one.

[brazen wadi]

someone posted one earlier here

[brazen wadi]

i hate these communication stations bc you cant see them from afar. once you arrive its some dumb message like "hi friend"

ok nice found one and probe worked this time

[exotic timber]

Go kill some dissonance resonator or finish a 5 wave sentinel fight until they drop an echo locator, that should get another ship. Just don’t pop it near where that bugged ship is, in case it points you back to the same ship

[tough plank]

Is one of the rewards for the Relics expedition a ship with an Atlantid Drive?

[exotic timber]

No, but your starting ship is fitted with the drive if you want to copy it back

[tough plank]

Can I copy it back to a permadeath save file?

[exotic timber]

No clue, but I don’t think you can travel to purple system even with the drive unless you have done the quest line (except when that save is a expedition-to-main conversion from the previous expedition)

[brazen wadi]

is it fine to sell these for one of the milestones? i wont need them later? or can i bring them to my primary save

[misty plinth]

You can sell or keep them as is your whim. Check your milestones to help with your decision.

[halcyon silo]

Find 80 bones? Damn

[brazen wadi]

do we get to come back to these planets we visited for the expedition? maybe i should make a base in each system for the rdv

doesnt hello games have a main system where everyone gathers too?

[misty plinth]

The simple answer is yes. Building a base will make the process easier. Glyphs for the system are found in the pinned messages above as well.

[brazen wadi]

i saw that they posted an event to find a new home system too

Refarmed up enough to trigger the all pieces collected part.

Hey guys, I’m currently playing my first expedition and was wondering if I can transfer the units and nanites I’ve collected to my main save once I’m done with the expedition?

[remote thunder]

If you started from existing character, yes, current currency (units, nanites, quicksilver) at the time of finish will merge to primary

[stone hornet]

Ok thanks I know the I can transfer my equipment but I was not sure about the money

[hot scaffold]

How to find toxic planet?

[remote thunder]

There's one in rdv3 system, once there mark the planet with fungal mould from discoveries menu

[hot scaffold]

I dont know where rdv3 is no longer 😦

[remote thunder]

Goto teleporter, teleport back to rendezvous3 station (look at subnames on the teleporter list)

[hot scaffold]

I want to catch bonefish

So I am on ligart prime

There is no water?

[remote thunder]

There is, goto space and look for water bodies, can also try to teleport to any player base that says its meant for fishing

[atomic cave]

Re: bonefish, is it worth it to put traps? I found a deep enough place, and put some traps because, really, this is turning to be a bore. Digging, OK,yeah, 80 fossils. But the fish?

[remote thunder]

I guess it doesn't hurt trying, not sure if auto traps will catch it

[hot scaffold]

Ok I am fishing

Is that bonefish rare?

[remote thunder]

Going to depend a lot on your RNG, some players were lucky, some weren't. Remember, min depth is 50u, have multiplayer disabled, use bionic lure during daytime, no bait/shadow lure at night

[atomic cave]

multiplayer disabled! Oh I got to try that.

[graceful holly]

Found a really pretty planet (looks a lot like Jupiter) while playing the expedition.

[prisma tundra]

Even if the traps catch it, the milestone won’t complete, I discovered this from the Aquarius expedition

[little knoll]

How do I end the expedition early? I got the bug that completed the objectives and I can't continue it, but I don't see a way to end it. just to go back and forth

how long haveyou been having the issue for? how long have you been trying to fix your save?

Since the start of expedition

I even made a second file

And still stuck

I guess we have to wait 4 weeks till it ends?

[keen orbit]

Or till they decide to fix it

[little knoll]

that kicks you out

I had been having trouble with the "Do Not Disturb" milestone last night, I can find fossil beds with vigilant stones just fine, but I can't actually defeat the guardians, I can barely do any damage at all tbh, my shield goes down in 2-3 hits, even through personal shield, and then I die quickly afterwards, I collect my grave ofc, but it's harder than people said to defeat them, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong other than perhaps not enough dps

[cold tulip]

You need shield upgrades and weapon upgrades. But you can kill them with ur ship too

I brought my MT back from a save, so they melt in 2 seconds

[glass shuttle]

the expedition gives you a neutron cannon and some upgrades for it

[prisma tundra]

I have 3 S shields in my exosuit

[cold tulip]

They should not do too much dmg then. Unless ur standing still

[prisma tundra]

I brought my slightly less dps tool so I thought they'd melt, but I barely did any damage

[cold tulip]

With what weapon?

[prisma tundra]

there were 2 that spawned so that was part of why I think, I was moving around

[prisma tundra]

I do not like neutron cannon tbh

[cold tulip]

Get a paralysis mortar too

[glass shuttle]

sure, but it's very strong compared to your options right now

[prisma tundra]

pulse spitter, it's got the installed blueprint upgrades + a few S class upgrades on it but it's not max

[cold tulip]

Should be enough, i use that too

Mine is maxed tho

[prisma tundra]

not when my aim is awful, I like pulse spitter cause I can just spray a bunch around to hope some hit

[prisma tundra]

my other tool on primary save has that, maybe I should copy that one over too

[prisma tundra]

well, I suppose I'll just keep trying then

[cold tulip]

Get a paralysis mortar too

And the voltaic amplifier

From the anomaly

[dense hull]

my scatter blast kills them quick

the one u get from the milestone

[dense hull]

i saw that that’s the first gas giant i’ve seen

but i didn’t land on it

[prisma tundra]

I find the scatter blaster ineffective but maybe that's just me

[dense hull]

really

it kills them so quick for me and i take like no damage at all

[prisma tundra]

yeah, my other tool on primary save has that so I might just copy that one over

[dense hull]

how many have you killed?

[prisma tundra]

if it works for you, that's great, but I find it's too spread out & not much range to properly do damage without excellent/perfect aim

[prisma tundra]

of the guardians? none cause I'm still working on the milestone, but for other pve stuff, scatter blaster hasn't been the best so I figured this would be similar

[dense hull]

oh

idk i just shoot them super close up😭

i lowkey just stand still

yk the q jet pack jump thing

you could just try that if they get to close to you

[prisma tundra]

not really, wdym

[dense hull]

you don’t know that??

brooo

it makes it way easier

basically

like you use ur melee

and hit the q key for ur melee and while ur in the melee animation u fly with ur jet pack

you cover insane ground and it’s way faster to get to whatever

[prisma tundra]

I use a controller, not keyboard/mouse so

[dense hull]

oh i see

well then it should be whatever melee is for controller

you should try it not in combat but just in general it makes a lot of things more simple

[elder olive]

is it possible to do the other expeditions or only the last one available?

[prisma tundra]

Only the Relics expedition is running, but there’s often reduxes of the year’s expedition at the end of the year, the only way to get rewards older than that is to save edit

[elder olive]

ic

[elder olive]

r1 i think

[lilac dagger]

[stone hornet]

Guys, how much time have you spend for the Bonefish?

[lilac dagger]

took me ~35 fish

[stone hornet]

Im no have spend about 30-40 minutes

and i still have nothing

[iron light]

is it s-rank?

[stone hornet]

What do you mean?

[iron light]

I assume it has a rarity like other fish do

[stone hornet]

He is a b claas

[iron light]

well I got plenty of those lol

been fishin for around the same time as you and no bonefish 😦

[stone hornet]

Its pritty annoying

[iron light]

we will get it eventually

[stone hornet]

Do you use a fishing lure?

[iron light]

nah

they seem pretty expensive

[stone hornet]

I use the shadow lure because the wispering bonefhish appears only at night

[dusty hedge]

I went to the water world in the Dig 4 system and got a bonefish on my first try

[lilac dagger]

Yeah use the shadow lures if possible

[dusty hedge]

I did

[lilac dagger]

💯

[lilac dagger]

You get like the 40-50 as a reward

[iron light]

got one, thanks for the help ❤️

[barren creek]

Welp

No roles for the newest expeditions?

[remote thunder]

staff felt that exp16 was a good/fitting time to stop adding more exp roles, and so "expeditionist" is now the role for all that came after

[barren creek]

aw.

[remote thunder]

i do agree tbf, one of these days we'd be running out of server emojis lol

if we havent already

[lilac dagger]

ooo i thought expeditionist was for those who completed them all 🤦‍♂️

[rapid elm]

Tragedy

[dusty hedge]

Guessing there's no easier way to get dung samples besides stand there and wait

I gotta do that, 1 more guardian, some more terrain digging, and 25 more bones, and I'm done

[fallen bane]

i haven’t touched this expedition yet, work is dumb

but it goes into next month so i’ve got options

[mossy herald]

Sure was....

[lilac dagger]

Enjoy it 🫡

[prisma tundra]

throw creature pellets & wait, yeah, but it's only 20, so not too bad

[prisma tundra]

yeah, you've got time

[silk wasp]

Where can i do living fossil...?

[dusty hedge]

The fish one? I recommend the water world in the Dig 4 system

Get the aqua jets on your ship, land over water, and stand on your ship to fish

[silk wasp]

Ok thanks

[bronze flume]

How do I get the aqua jets to land on water

[silk wasp]

U talk about phase 4 system?

[silk wasp]

Spacial Anomaly

[bronze flume]

Ok ty

[brazen wadi]

80 fossils am I right. I think 100 would’ve been better

[misty plinth]

I thought one of the milestones rewarded them

[dusty hedge]

Yeah

[dusty hedge]

They do. I think one of the phase 1 ones. Or else phase 2.

[lilac dagger]

[raw ruin]

Definitely not 100, you kidding me?!

[brazen wadi]

Jk haha

[silk wasp]

Xd.... I accdidentally sell the aqua jets

Where can i find sulfide crystals

[misty plinth]

If you run station and or nexus relic missions as you go it makes the 80 go by pretty quick.

[misty plinth]

Off the thermal vents you find in water.

[raw ruin]

I ended up going to a planet that has them and just grinded it.

[faint mesa]

Can't say I was bothered by the 80 fossils milestone.
I'm now trying to gather all of them on my main save 😅

[dusty hedge]

Yeah I didn't really underatand the fossil complaint, 80 seems fine to me

I also may have gotten lucky with a couple spots that had 6-8 fossils in one spot

But I also had to run around and find some at one point cause I just couldn't find a torso

[lime hazel]

It’s the fact that system has no planet besides the water world

Which In a new save your ship can’t land on the planet at all

[remote thunder]

phase 3 milestone 2 rewards pre built aqua jets ship tech - but in any case, previous rendezvous systems are 1 teleport away

[lime hazel]

Well it’s obviously not the biggest deal. Just a time waste to have to hop back around and what not

[remote thunder]

indeed

[prisma tundra]

using my ship helped! thank you!!

[prisma tundra]

also, do fossil beds always have vigilant stones? and vise versa?

[remote thunder]

not always always, but most do have at least 1 stone nearby

[prisma tundra]

ok so stones are always near bones but bones could be without stones?

[remote thunder]

i'm not recalling seeing a vigilant stone alone, no

[prisma tundra]

alright, understood

[remote thunder]

though i'm not discarding that possibility, there's so many planets with bones 😄

[sweet swift]

ight so i might've done myself a huge disfavor by not saving on the dig site 1 location

either that or i should not have assembled the avian skeleton thing

[dense hull]

how do i get the expeditionist role

[prisma tundra]

#roles

[dense hull]

[atomic cave]

Traps didn't do anything, and I turned off ultiplayer and got the bonefish. Now chasing the 80 fossils, which is making the bonefish thing look chill.

[prisma tundra]

the traps do take time, but they do catch things, it's just the milestone won't complete if you catch something via trap

[dusty hedge]

Expedition complete

Crap, I didn't have the bone staff as my active multi-tool 😭

Am I screwed?

[dense hull]

do the nanites i earned in the expedition go over to my main save

[dense hull]

wdym

[dusty hedge]

Oh it shows up in the expedition rewards, phew

All good

I thought I had to have it as my active and copy it into the main save

[dense hull]

oh

okay

do yk abt my other question?

[dense hull]

^

[dusty hedge]

They should I think, and it'll convert other stuff you didn't put in the shared box into units and nantes as well

I didn't pay the closest attention to that part 😅

[dense hull]

word

[dense hull]

i caught a bonefish so quick

lowkey shocked

[echo topaz]

We still in the Dinasour expo

[lilac dagger]

[copper trail]

that took WAY too long

[dense hull]

idk how i got it in 3 catches

with bionic lure

[dusty hedge]

I got it in 1 with shadow

Still shocked

[dense hull]

is shadow hard to craft

i just finished the expedition

aye

first one

lowkey not bad at all

[somber warren]

My only save is an expedition save, when i finish it does it just switch to a normal one or do i have to wait for the whole event to finish? Also does it just put at a random location in space once i finish or?

[distant parcel]

It switches to a normal save; and you start wherever you finished the expedition at

Basically picking up where you left off in the expedition

[somber warren]

Ah, i thought i would get thrown at some random space

Was kinda hoping for it

[distant parcel]

Could always go through the galactic core; just remember to bring repair supplies for everything

[dense hull]

i wish i did the last expedition

that living ship is guard

goated*

[somber warren]

Idk what that is, im a new player

[distant parcel]

Ah, fair enough then; the galactic core is the center of the galaxy. When you get to it, you can fly to the center and it will put you on a [random] planet in a new galaxy roughly 700k ly from that galaxy's core. All of your installed tech will be damaged though, so you will start with needing to make repairs.

You can still use a space station (or the anomaly) portal to go back to any old bases or stations you visited in the previous galaxy.

Provided you fix your ship, multitool and exosuit tech to get to a station

All players starting a new game (normal, creative, permadeath, or expedition) start in Euclid galaxy; there are 255 normally-accessible galaxies total

[astral fulcrum]

Can I transfer items to my character on an expedition after the expedition is started? I'm wanting to send supplies for warp cells

[copper trail]

you can return to your main save during the expedition, so yes

then you can return and resume the expedition where you left off

[astral fulcrum]

It's not letting me do so?

[misty plinth]

Is this a new save or did you start the expedition from an existing save?

In a new save you keep everything and the save converts to normal when you completely finish and close it out.

When you start from an existing save you are allowed to put tech and items in the terminal before you initiate it. Once you initiate and start the expedition that is it - you can't bring any other tech or materials over.

You can copy a multitool and ship over with nanites. They will be whatever you had equipped - were using - when you started.

The inventory for the ship will be empty though so you cant use it as device to bring any additional supplies in.

@astral fulcrum Did this answer your question?

[astral fulcrum]

Yes

How long will the expedition be running for? How quickly do I need to finish it?

[misty plinth]

See the current events at the top of the channels listing? It shows 1 month still left.

[astral fulcrum]

I didn't see that, thanks! Glad I have plenty of time

[misty plinth]

You can also run the command !exptime in the bot-spam channel anytime.

[calm socket]

Where would self promo be?

[misty plinth]

You might get a better answer in the no-mans-sky or nms-help channel but I don't think there is a self promotion channel on this server. This channel is dedicated to expedition discussion so definitely not here.

[stone hornet]

Finaly i got the bonefish after 2 hours

[supple pendant]

Ouch. Grats though.

I feel dumb... been wrestling with storage space issues because of all the fossils. And just now realized I could simply store them in the ingredient storage inventory.

[umbral forum]

Hoping this assembly of different parts becomes a trend. Would love to be able to scavenge decorative parts and bolt them onto my Multitool.

[waxen hare]

Is there a pin/thread that shows date -> date of Expeditions? Thanks.

Woop. Found it. Nvm.

[supple pendant]

Why don't I have a path to the fifth dig site?

Well if anyone else has that issue, check the teleporter. Might put you near the next system.

Ugh... this poop digging step is going to take forever.

[lilac dagger]

[wraith junco]

Throw pellets to feed multiple animals at one go. Wait.

[exotic timber]

I think a few people have hit this bug. I hit this in my 3rd rendezvous and thankfully the icon is still on screen, so I can free look to it and warp.

[supple pendant]

I just went to a station and the teleporter thing that puts you near a system that is close to your destination worked.

[supple pendant]

I did. Was just annoying.

[copper trail]

💀

lots of bones

[waxen hare]

Rattle-me-bones.

[topaz ivy]

Keep throwing pellets into a group of animals....10 mins later you have all the poop you need and a picture of 5 animals

they come from a long ways if you throw pellets on the ground instead of directly feeding them

[supple pendant]

Yeah... I did the picture of animals before that... which took forever as well. ; _ ;

[silk wasp]

Hearty cook - milestone phase 4 are bug?

I try to complete and ...

[supple pendant]

I had to give him two.

[prime crystal]

regarding the 80 fossils mission

with save/load do the fossils respawn if you find a nice spot?

[remote thunder]

try changing systems/and resummon anomaly?

[mighty otter]

lol cant seem to find one of those memory stones....

[remote thunder]

need a ruin world

[mighty otter]

so it cant say

"ancient bones"

it has to say ruin

[remote thunder]

use visor to look for

[remote thunder]

@mighty otter ^

[mighty otter]

ok ty

[remote thunder]

there's 1 in every rdv system

[mighty otter]

i don't see those texts in any planet descriptions

ah. R.D.V. i get it!

[remote thunder]

for example, starter planet is a ruin world

[lime hazel]

lol theee animals won’t leave me dung piles

[remote thunder]

can you post a screenshot of the animals you're trying to get to poop?

[lime hazel]

Purple cow looking things with turtle shell backs

[remote thunder]

That should work. Throw a pellet on the ground next to a group of animals, then stand idle. Three should be no predators around, you shouldn't harvest them for produce, you shouldn't be mining or shooting things. I'd recommend having multiplayer disabled

[lime hazel]

Ya these guys doing it, I guess the last batch were a different animal

[junior shard]

how hard is this expedition?

[lime hazel]

Do I not unlock the ruin blueprints on main save?

[junior shard]

I'm starting now but will be away for the weekend

[lime hazel]

2-3 harder missions but took me 3/4 days casually

[junior shard]

ok so should make it for May

[dense hull]

and the fire planet with one of the dig sites

[dense hull]

it was really easy for me and it was my first time doing it

just look at each milestone cuz u can get some done way earlier than doing it in order

[silk wasp]

@remote thunder the bug continues, i cant finish quest

[stone hornet]

I still have two companion eggs from the expedition, but I can't transfer them. What should I do?

[wraith junco]

U can redeem exp pet reward from qs store

[stone hornet]

Ok thanks

[silk wasp]

The mission says to learn the recipe for the Nutrient Processor in the Space Anomaly, but I had it from one of the Expedition 18 missions. When processing a bone, the mission got a bug and I couldn't complete it. It tells me to learn the blueprint, even though I already learned it.

I restarted the ps4 and continues bug xD

[wraith junco]

U dont need food processor. Just use the one beside cronus

[silk wasp]

Is the quest where u need to cooking the bone

[wraith junco]

Bone+bone or bone + meat = bone broth

[remote thunder]

@silk wasp yeah, try what Asta said, even though it's the same mechanic. be sure to have multiplayer disabled. what happens if you select a different mission while cooking?

[wraith junco]

Also feed cronus raw bone not bone broth. Many gets confused at that step

[remote thunder]

i fed them softened marrow, worked good

[silk wasp]

Cooking is bug, i cant finish

Now yes

Pfff

[remote thunder]

is this playing on pc or ps4?

[silk wasp]

Ps4

[lilac dagger]

This is what threw me off initially

Didn't know you had to use two bones for a bone broth

In two different slots*

[junior shard]

hm weapon and health upgrades do you need for the boss fights this time? 😛

or what I'm reading "defeat an ancient guardian"

[silk wasp]

Bk when i try to cook the quest bug again

[lilac dagger]

I got melted by the guardian

[wraith junco]

Usualy when u mark task and read description it tells u what to do step by step.
