After applying upgrades it was much easier

Very good to know. Did it specify in-game to separate them? I'll be sure to check the descriptions more closely

When u try to cook, the quest bug, but only must cook an alone bone, after a bone+meat and quest finish

That is the solution

these are safe to sell right in this expedition

#

as in they're not needed for some task?

prisma tundra
#

yeah, those are just high value selling items

#

that's what the majority of "trading" items mean

right "usef for trading"

sometimes certain things can be given to envoys in donations for reputation/standing, but that'll be wiped after expedition is over

finding travelers is random luck, but they are fixed per system, so you could find addresses with travellers posted by other players

what constitutes a complete skeleton?
i need 2 more

ive mined 80 fossils so far and it still hasnt fired

i have to delete all my fossils and start over

prisma tundra
sage ether
#

yea i had way more than that

#

seems the last 2 versions of the complete skeleton task are broken

and you have to delete them all and re-mine bones to get it to fire

yup that worked

I must have gotten lucky, one of my collect the skeleton missions completed straight away because I already had the bones. And had no trouble with the last ones.

praise sean for marking planets

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.

Alternatively you could cycle the multitool through it's modes which spooks the fauna and you can toss the group another pelllet and repeat the cycle.

#

Theres land?! 🥺

#

ik what part you're talking about and honestly I gave up trying to find bones there, I just went to the next rendezvous and dug on the planet there

#

then warped back to present them

wraith junco
#

Starter system has plenty of bones in comparison to other rdv system bone planets. I made a base and warped back to dig there.

swift ember
#

Thats the problem i got. Cant complete phase 4 "principle field agent" or phase 5 master of bones. Someone suggested it has to be done with the bones from that system been stuck doing this for days now.

copper trail
#

might've helped for the 80 one, spent 20 minutes jetpacking around digging

#

a couple times I ended up going for a bone someone else was digging for, so from their pov I drop in out of nowhere, grab the bone, and then jetpack away

swift ember
#

Ive finished everything else including reassemble of fossils which comes after

wraith junco
swift ember
#

Its gotta be a bug. Seen so many youtube vids on people literally arriving at a rendezvous and grabbing the fossil out of the ground at the dig site and then building a full fossil and getting the milestone immediately. Not for me though. Each phase has a field agent milestone and a reassemble one. I got first 3 but not last 2. Got everything else done. I'm utterly stumped.

remote thunder
#

correct, any bones planet will do, but the issue might lie elsewhere - did the dig site milestones ahead insta complete for you @swift ember , without even getting to them? there's a bug with that that then causes issues with field agent milestones

swift ember
#

Aaah. Not sure if it did.

remote thunder
#

you could double check if you got hit by it when you get a bit of spare time

let me know

Nope report at 4 and built at 4. Then went 5 and reported in and built there too. I got the builds milestones for both 4 and 5. Just not the collecting. Its so weird. Everything else is done.

I didnt notice they didn't complete them until 5 though. So if i did anything wrong between that i can't say.

#

Yes multi enabled. I got time and will try this now. Any help is seriously appreciated on this. Its been hell not being able to do this. I've been at it for days lol. Many thanks

#

Ive deleted every bone and case so there is nothing and done saves and restart to be sure. Will reply shortly. 👍

#

Reselected it and it pops up collect fossils like before. Gonna go collect some to see what happens. Do i need to be in the same system as the rendezvous?

#

Or just have that milestone selected as next task?

#

Yup odly i went to rd3 too. Bone hunting now. 😁

swift ember
#

Got the bones. Returned to rendezvous, Gek was still highlighted as visited, spoke and it was usual language dialogue, build the reptile, put it in showcase. Sadly nothing.

#

After i used the bones it came up i needed to find bones again to complete. 😅

#

I really appreciated your help though. 🙏 thank you

<:info:850810445577453658> Restart (mission) Using Nearby Structures

Requirement: playing solo; if you were playing with friends recently, save+reload from main menu after disabling multiplayer.

info When the player current position is 4000 Light Years away from current mission location or more, a button appears in the Log tab that allows to restart the last mission stage. Most commonly used ways to trigger it:

  • Space Anomaly Teleporter (teleport to a Featured base, check Log tab; retry with different base if needed);
  • Warping (e.g. 4 1000LY distance warps in the same direction, but contrary to Current Mission destination in galaxy map);

After getting far away enough, be sure to give the game a few seconds to recalculate distances, then check Log tab.

#

basically, that's what i'm suggesting ^

#

gather the bones till it says "go talk to npc"

but instead of going to marked location

#

or maybe changing galaxies and back again to maybe reset it - seen it happen with other missions, but it would have to be a core warp..

expedition18_relics Relics (Expedition 18): Milestone Tips

Disable Multiplayer in options/network settings to avoid bugs with milestones.

Phase 1

  • Exhibition Admission: Complete and claim Phase 1 Milestone 1, then build and interact with Signal Booster, pick the first dialog option to use a surge battery. Dig up 3 ancient keys, then interact with large artifact crate buried in the middle of the ruin.

Phase 2

  • Bytesized: Use Analysis Visor to locate Buried Cache icons on a planet.

Phase 3:

  • Snapshot in Time: To easily get 5 ground creatures on the screenshot, throw a creature pellet on the ground fairly close to a group of animals, they'll get attracted to it, then just wait for them to idle next to you. Note that consoles can be picky with the way the game registers screenshots taken. Check this link for more info.
    -# > info To throw a pellet on the ground, use on foot quick menu/Creatures/Creature Pellet.
  • Living Fossils: Mostly a matter of rng luck. There's 2 kinds of bonefish at least that will count for the milestone. Minimum depth to fish at is 50u. Try with and without baits, if during night time can try Shadow Lure.
    • **a)**Whispering Bonefish spawns in all biomes that can have water, but only during night time.
    • b) Bleached Bonefish only spawns in toxic biome planets (planets with Fungal Mould on resource list), but can spawn at any time, day or night.
      -# > info To see current depth, cast your fishing line, then look lower left of the screen. If needed, press H or dpad left to reshow it.
      -# > info This isn't a critical milestone for progression, so it can be skipped and retried later. For example, some players have had luck in Dig Site 4 system, on the waterworld bones planet there, Romseyc I12.

Phase 4

  • Principle Field Agent: To collect the bones for this milestone, use Dig Site 4 station teleporter to teleport back to any other rendezvous system, collect needed bones there, return to Oishiv Dig Site 4 system.
  • Deeper Underground: To speed this one up, dig a decent hole with Terrain Manipulator, then aim inside and switch to Flatten Mode, then start deleting terrain.
  • Hearty Stock: Cook Softned Marrow+Softned Marrow, or Softned Marrow+any meat.
  • Bone Appétit: If Bone Broth doesn't complete milestone, give Cronus something else that you can. Some players were able to complete milestone with giving him bones or Softned Marrow.
    -# > info If your food item doesn't appear on Cronus interaction dialog, check this guide externallink

Phase 5

  • Nose in the Dirt: Throw a creature pellet on the ground fairly close to a group of animals, they'll get attracted to it, then just wait for them to idle next to you, and they'll eventually poop. There should be no predators around, and you shouldn't be mining/shooting things.
    -# > info Use on foot quick menu/Creatures/Creature Pellet to throw one on the ground.
  • Written in Stone: Memory Stones can be found using Analysis Visor on Ruin worlds. For example, the starter planet Enbayneu XI in the Juduppka system is such a planet.
  • Stone Ghosts: To spawn a guardian, interact with Vigilant Stones found on Ancient Bones planets. Note that Sentinels cannot be shutdown on the planet.

i rather like that they're using expedition mode as a way to test new things e.g. anomaly suppressor exp16, abandoned mode exp13

It happened to me when I did a weekend Nexus mission and I boarded the Anomoly at a different location so I put me WAAAAY off the expedition route. Thankfully I made a base computer at each rendezvous point along the expeditions so it's easy for me to travel back and forth to each one.

Well I can just warp back to the space stations of the previous digs, but the objective said it could be a long journey so I just took off

What happens to expedition saves after it ends? I started on an expedition and I would like to keep the stuff I have. Or maybe I could transfer to a new main save?

outer juniper
#

after you finish an expedition it automatically converts it into a normal save

#

if you already had another main save you cant transfer those items over, but if this save is your first it is now your main save and in the future you use the terminal in the space anomaly to start expeditions and you can send items back and forth from the terminal to from your normal save to the expedition and vice versa

I have never had so much trouble collecting animal poop before. I have to assume it's either because there are predators around or other people or something.... I have literally thrown out hundreds of pellets and collected like....6 piles of crap

expedition Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

Info To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players (Steam GOG GamePass) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

Finally started the expedition early afternoon today and finished up later in the evening.
This must have been the easiest exped I've done. Is it just me, or are expeds getting easier and easier? This time around, no ship repairs, no resource grinding, just dig up bones, catch a fish, cook some broth, search through crap, scan a few things and that's about it?
Sure, I know expeds are merely tutorials, but it could have been a tat harder to complete?
Not a fan of the gear cosmetics, including the staff this time. So I won't be using those.
Oh well, it kept me busy for a few hours, though. But I do hope that exped 19 will be more interesting.

So I did all of the things, since the expedition each step has 8 steps, so in the MilestoneValues array we have 40 values that correspond to the 8 steps of each stages. so for stage 3, 4 and 5, I'd have to change 1.0 to 0.0 in values 16, 24 and 32. Which I did, but when I go in game they still show completed. Think I'm missing a step? I can see that the rewards are unclaimed cause RewardCollected worked, but not MilestoneValues

@little knoll

  • commonstatedata>seasonstate>rendezvousuas are turned into hex when player enters those systems, you should set them to their original values:
  • expeditioncontext>playerstate>missionprogress> <dig_site_N> should be set to 1
  • expeditioncontext>playerstate>markerstack should have all the needed/relevant rendezvous planets data
#

@little knoll sorry one more thing i could remember, below RendezvousUAS, there's RendezvousParticipants: that should also only have the "buildings" you've been to

#

so for example if you had dig site 1 done, but needed to undo 2, 3 4 and 5, you'd only have 1 buildingseed in rendezvousparticipants

#

(which matches the hex in rendezvousuas)

#

(if progress set to 1 doesn't do the trick, set it to -1)

little knoll
#

thank you!!

#

I only had to edit missionprogress, not the other

remote thunder
#

now keep mp disabled all the way

remote thunder
little knoll
#

well, MilestoneValues and RewardCollected too of course

remote thunder
#

the other player i tried this with had to go to markerstack

little knoll
#

oh interesting

remote thunder
#

just missionprogress didn't readd markers

little knoll
#

thanks again for the help, I'm gonna jump back and play nms now lol

remote thunder
#

have fun

#

so super exotic gas giants are a thing?

#

playing on steamdeck thats why its not a screenshot xd

remote thunder
#

no, no mixing of biomes

raven ermine
#

Is there a better way to warp than individually jumping? There are like 7 jumps to get to the next dig site 😦

remote thunder
raven ermine
#

thanks will look for that, I just started so I don’t have a lot of stuff but just saved a freighter

remote thunder
#

e.g. phase 3 milestone 2 rewards 2 s-class hyperdrive modules; space station ship upgrade module shops will also most of the times sell hyperdrive modules

raven ermine
#

ohh okay good to know, on phase 3 now

umbral iris
#

didnt know there could be non-gas giants

remote thunder
#

yep, there can be

umbral iris
#

well in german it says

#

[Zensiert] Riesige

#

which translates too

#

censored giant

remote thunder
#

redacted giant

#

yeah

#

"[redacted]" is a synonym for mega exotic biomes

umbral iris
#

oooh okay

remote thunder
#

add giant, and yeah, a mega exotic giant

umbral iris
#

well zensiert is a bad choice of word for german translation. for… reasons xD

#

thats cool tho

After completing the expedition, is it worth it to keep playing in it until it ends? Do you get more credits and nanites out of it (towards my main save) or does it cap once all the milestones are checked off?

frozen laurel
#

Here's what activities and items are paid out as credits and nanites when you end an expedition.

silent hollow
#

Okay, cool. Before the expedition started, I was impulsive and wiped my save and started over. So I just wanted to see if it was worth sticking around in the expedition to give my new save a boost in credits/nanites.

frozen laurel
silent hollow
#

No, I started a new save and then stated the exp within that save once I unlocked the anomaly

#

Thanks for the info, though!

little knoll
#

bk201, looks like I'll have to do MarkerStack/RendezvousUAS too. it pointed me to the system but it's not showing the spot on the planet

remote thunder
#

but decided to let you go ahead, just in case something was different

little knoll
#

cool thx. ill check those out shortly

great. there's a glitched Low Orbit freighter on top of Expedition site 1 and gravity is sideways at the ground with jetpack disabled

I was dying to fire

so bypassing system

90% sure was a player

why I have my markers hidden for all

Is a bug we've been reporting since 5.60 🙂 Please report it as well. NPC marker is attached to your ship

it stuck like a jumping cactus

Jumping cacti are also a bug you should report.

Just curious, I'm only in Phase 2 of the Expedition, but is there a Titan Worm fossil by chance?

fiery plaza
#

I don't think so. I never saw anything like that

What's worse is that you cannot turn off item loss on death in the Expedition.

ashen shore
#

at least somewhat safe

that make game way better if ban people from multiplayer that abuse it

maybe never perma ban but max 1 year

Nevermind. It eventually registered.

#

Does one need to build a base to show the exhibit in each phase to get the fossil tasks done?

fiery plaza
#

I built exhibits at the rendezvous, no base required

#

ok...now I have to refind the rendez-vous point.

#

damn

#

@fiery plaza thx

prisma tundra

and how many do I have to build ?

how many platforms to be correct

im at the final digsite system
anywhere good to catch a bonefish there?

hey guys every time i try to start an expedition my game crashes?

Attempting to verify integrity files on steam ;-;

why is 4 harder than stage 5

3 star system would easily destroy them selves after awhile

not mention possibility slinging planets out of their orbit

Please enlight us!

Any water planet, >50U deep water, at night, use Shadow Lures. The bonefish you can only catch at night is Uncommon, so easier to catch. The other one is Rare and much harder.

#

On my last 2 Expedition saves I did it on the Ice planet in the starter system. The first one took 7 tries using the Shadow Lure and the second one took only 1 try.

#

RNG was probably kind to me, but it was still a lot faster than catching the one using Bionic Lures.

remote thunder
#

a lot of it is rng - some players tried for a long time in bones waterworld rdv4 and didn't get any :\

#

even without any bait, at night time, can be done quickly - rng bless or not

quaint urchin
#

Nice, I'm going to try that on the next run. I'm on my 5th save doing it now... Lol

remote thunder
#

for example, i got mine in bones waterworld, 1 cast

#

but ymmv for sure

lilac dagger
#

makin me want to start another save for it

cunning lagoon
#

humble....

ashen shore
#

couldn't we farm for purple hyper drive here

#

and take them back

remote thunder
#

wont do any good

#

simply having it doesn't reveal purple stars

#

revealing purple stars unlocks its blueprint, as well as freighter's

ashen shore
#

purple stars already revealed

#

I seen one without

#

and said I needed that hyper drive

remote thunder
#

basically, ones you're seeing are near the core

#

and you still wont be able to warp to them if save isn't a exp17 or exp18 convert-to-normal or you've not completed in stellar multitudes

lilac dagger
#

Got me it and now can access all the main star types. Thought it worked for purple too but I'm prob wrong

remote thunder
# lilac dagger Got me it and now can access all the main star types. Thought it worked for purp...

it wont' work until the character has unlocked the purple star systems by completing the in stellar multitudes quest (there's a character stat in the save file that controls whether purple stars appear in the galaxy map or not, quest turns that on basically). exceptions to this are 1) normal mode saves converted from exp17/exp18 (which have the tech learned already, the mentioned character stat already set to true/turned on), 2) abandoned mode saves (which can learn the tech from ship research station, and reveal systems after 2 warps ime)

What’s the difference between a fossil display case and a pre assembled fossil display

#

I’d assume I want to take one back to the main save, why is there two of each fossil displays

cunning lagoon
#

display case lets you put pieces together

#

assembled is the completed piece

#

the one that is worth like 500k is the one that you probably want to take back if you dont plan on just selling it

wary siren
#

I kinda gotta collectem all guy

#

But that’s probably bad since there’s gotta be a million combinations

#

Do I need these fossil display cases in the normal save or will they be unlocked

raven ermine
#

Do blueprints transfer to the main save after you end an expedition?

#

This is my first expedition and I spent all my nanites thinking I could bring them with me to my main
