Very good to know. Did it specify in-game to separate them? I'll be sure to check the descriptions more closely
Is storming but only must cook an alone bone, after that, bone+meat and bug solve and quest finish
@remote thunder
you got it?
Yes
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
okay gotcha, ty, good to know
these are safe to sell right in this expedition
as in they're not needed for some task?
yeah, those are just high value selling items
that's what the majority of "trading" items mean
sometimes certain things can be given to envoys in donations for reputation/standing, but that'll be wiped after expedition is over
How much longer do we have left for the expedition?

Ah good
Bk i hope this expedition no disappear from my save game🤣☠️
@remote thunder u think HG restore my achievement in the experimental update? Or only fix the bug?
we'll have to wait till that patch gets to ps4/steam public, then see
Hmm yes
Can anyone help me work out where I can find these Memory Stones for the Phase 5 objective?
look for a planet with one of these synonyms - for example, starter planet is a ruin world
2 quest left
Ok, thanks 🙂
see a few posts above, but you can run !exptime in #bot-spam whenever you need 😉
Thank you
There is an events details tab at the top of the channels listing. You can also run the !exptime command in the bot-spam channel.
nice, congrats!
Thanks i hope not delete xDDD
hopefully not - remember, i'd suggest waiting until the next public patch before trying to cross save again
that fix we mentioned is only out on steam experimental branch
I cannot stand fishing. I am absolutely sick of it. They need to stop including it in every expedition.
Dupe the baits . Set fishing to autocatch. Go make tea.
How do you do that on ps5?
Yes, im disabled the cross from this save
Not bad🫣
i used some of the marrow i got from the dirt i believe
Do you remember the name of the system and the planet?
system name Oishiv
check your teleporter list
I don't remember the planet name, but it'll be labeled as water world
Great! Thanks!
How do I end the fast expedition? and I get the goods for cosmetics.
end the last expedition?
Yes
did you mean, how can you play the last expedition?
I want the set of stone armor.
then you need to complete expedition 18, the expedition that's currently live
Yes
the last expedition was expedition 17
I want to turn 18 to get my clothes.
to end an expedition run, you need to complete and claim all milestones, phase and final rewards
Can you help me end up fast?
so you just started, and want tips on how to get it done quicker?
There are already yt guides for expeditions
check out this post #nms-expedition message
hello extremely toxic realist here this expodition is like 10 minutes long this isnt a flex but nice job flexing what i completed on day 1
idk im bored
light trolling isnt breaking rules
How much longer is left on the expedition?

That is a really shitty milestone
Hi I’m extremely new to this game and I’m in a system that supposedly has every relic, I have 11 out of 16 but I can’t seem to find the last ones and also idk how to check which ones I have. Any help would be deeply appreciated
not relic, glyph; probably a better question for #nms-questions , this channel is more specific to expedition game mode.

@analog plover
Just finished the expedition 🙂
Sorry this channel looked like what I needed
Glyph is what I meant sorry, I’m mixing up the words
that's okay. well, basically, there's two ways to learn glyphs: either from (traveler) graves (which can even be located without actually using travellers), or by completing the main storyline
finding travelers is random luck, but they are fixed per system, so you could find addresses with travellers posted by other players
that said, to get access to a lot of the more recent content, going to need main storyline completion
(parts related to quest/storyline assume you're not playing in expedition mode)
Oh okay thanks
I have a question about expedition 1 junior field agent, went to galaxy map but cannot find a planet with viable fossils bed
in each rendezvous system there will be a planet with ancient bones on the list, you can mark planets/moons in discoveries to get a HUD marker to pulse to (that said, rdv4 planet that has bones.. dont use that one, use a different planet with bones)
what constitutes a complete skeleton?
i need 2 more
ive mined 80 fossils so far and it still hasnt fired
oh seems its a bug
i have to delete all my fossils and start over
I think having five different parts? so a skull, a torso, two limb, and a tail
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
oh damn
thank you
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.

Does the expedition have any special rewards? Normally they show the things in the update trailers
Did you not see the armor?
Mt , pet, armor. Reward list is in the pins.
Ah thanks

I have a glitched not sure how to fix need to go to Rendezvous 4 and it tells me to check the galaxy map but it does not have a way to get there any idea on what to do
did you by any chance happen to go to someone else's base from the Anomaly? You might be in the wrong Galaxy.
Otherwise, check the pins, all the planets' glyphs are noted there.
(I'm assuming you've already selected that task in the Expedition tab, then opened the galaxy map and set your preference to the Expedition route)
This is still on for a while right?
I haven’t been able to play over the past week because of illness and an injury that made it hard to sit up.

are bones only found on planets with harsh conditions? My lack of exosuit updates is killing me
not necessarily. I believe most of the expedition dig spots have some planets that have bones
Does the expedition fish have special requirements or just fishing it with patience?
Shadow Bait will help your chances, otherwise, it's mainly how the RNG treats you.
wow a freighter is just above the planet here
I somehow hit it with the staff
and it said defensive systems activated

wait
my jetpack is disabled
I think the game thinks i'm in space
reloaded
yeah this is super trippy, the freighter breaks the planet
any way to solve this
Don’t punch above your weight class
I managed to terrain dig to it
yep, it's very rng based cause I went to a barely deep water (51 u or so) on a toxic world with ancient bones and caught it on the third try using bionic lure
Okay! Going to go back on the Expedition for the first time in a week
Is there a way to tell how deep an area of water might be other than landing and jumping in?
turning off multiplayer removed the freighter bugging the planet
The bonefish is driving me crazy
Is it a night fish then?
Yes
Thank you~~
equip fishing rig, cast line, press H or dpad left to bring up the HUD, look at the lower left
Wow, that is deep water. I've spent half my bait at around 75u... 😦
I had hoped there was deep water on a planet in the Rendezvous 3 system since this is a Phase 3 mission but I couldn't find any deep water there.
this is on the bones waterworld planet in rdv4 - i wasn't having much luck in the toxic planet in rdv3. 50u is the minimum depth required
Warping there now. Thanks!
praise sean for marking planets
remember that since it's not a toxic biome planet, you can only fish at night: try using no bait at all, or shadow lure
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.
Hey, when we start an expedition from the anomaly, we must put our items into the terminal BEFORE starting it? Because I did it every time but this time I didn't. It feels like I cannot put items anymore in there now
Yay I did the second set of expedition stuff
Does anybody know if there's a planet in the Orumgila (Korvax System) with Gamma Root? Trying to catch a bonefish for P3

Yeah pretty sure it has to be before, not 100% tho
Kinda fun to raw dog expeditions with no extra mats
it's not anymore ahah
i barely find time to do them, so...
if I could have my ships and my multitools instead...
i mean there is a feature to bring ur ship/tool with you
Yes, but, I can't put the nanite-generating materials in the cross-inventory anymore
It's possible to restart ?!
not if you started from existing save and dont have a backup of the save folder just before starting
Dang :(
unlock economy scanner from anomaly, find an outlaw system - did you bring stuff to sell for units? buy sus packets tech/arms, unpack, sell x-class modules for nanites
No, I didn't bring anything this time
This is why I ask

well, can always make some units through non combat ways - several milestones will reward stuff to sell for units, not to mention collecting and selling bones
Okay but I just want 6000 nanites
I think I'll wait for the redux
I takes too much time, I'll organise

I went and sold a Sentinel ship rq for 26M when I started the expedition
yep, that would certainly work as well
On my limited time, it's genuinely almost too much
well, up to you - a plan can be made
Getting a Steamdeck at this rate, considering the time I spend commuting
I got 20 Bionic lures and a dream to catch a bonefish in rdv4's Romsyec I12 
also try without bait or with shadow lure (since only night time)
I don't know how to make shadow lures
should have learned the recipe when you learned fishing rig
check your craft menu on a free cargo slot
I guess I wasn't paying attention to the recipes
i eventually did it with no bait
took a while
had to periodically get in my ship to fly to the other side of the planet so it'd be nighttime again
fish rng
try no bait for a bit
Trying it now, used all my lures on moon turtles
Pretty sure they award you with 50 shadow lures for one of the steps too
I could be trippin, maybe it was the other lure
Yeah nvm I'm wrong 
30 bionic lure iirc; nope, 40
40 Bionics, Snapshot in Time (Phase 3)
hehe yeah, 40 you're right
Is it normal that the phase 3 start is at a purple system?????
sure
How deep does the water need to be to find bonefish
At least 50u
oh guess I’ve been wasting time in a 20u deep lake😭
I wasted 10 Bionic lures on 10u deep don't worry 😭
How can I get indium with going to a blue system??
Cuz it needs indium drive
Indium drive needs emeril ……..
phase 3 milestone rewards 40 of them, but you don't really need to use bait if fishing at night
Oh ok
well, that's how normally progression goes: get cadmium, build emeril drive, get emeril, build indium drive, get indium. buy+install+dismantle 2 c-class positron ejector/infraknife/cyclo ballista modules, 125 cadmium+1 wiring loom each
We do I need all this for only the expedition😭😭😭😭😭
well, the starter ship has an atlantid drive installed, which allows warping to any color star system
Yeah but it needs to be repaired
just use repair kits then
That‘s why I need indium
@fierce fossil

Repair Kit can be obtained from multiple sources (e.g. Contraband Agent npc in Outlaw stations, Mission Boards, Scrap Dealer, Autophage Synthesis terminals), and is applied to damaged sub-components.
- Cursor over the damaged tech or slot, and press Repair
- Cursor over the damaged sub-component and press Apply Repair Kit.

get an eco scanner, install it, type !faq-outlawsystem in #bot-spam , find an outlaw system, buy 3 repair kits from contraband agent npc
The bonefish is killing me, it's the last thing I need to finish the expedition 
take breaks; try to restart the game to juggle its memory a bit
all rng
can anyone help, ive come back to nms for the recent update and im in the process of doing the expedition and ive just went to set up a base and have none of my unlocked construction bps
Expeditions are "fresh starts" essentially. If you entered the expedition from an established save you can come back after you finish and fix the base up with all the blueprints you have learned.

Thanks bit rusty ahaha
Anyone know when the next expedition starts?
I guess a better question is how often do expeditions start new?
Expedition 19 is currently unknown in terms of start time. My guess would be mid-late May after Relics wraps up.
Fishing isn't too bad after a while
I find the ambience quite relaxing.
I just caught the bonefish, holy watery eyes of joy
Damn, 85 fish to catch the bleached bonefish 
Aw man, I couldn't keep my dreadnaught :(
Jo can I manually translate the alien languages somewhere
jeeze
i caught a whispering bone fish in 4 with bionic lure
i think it was dig 4s waterworld at night
Not sure what you mean - AFAIK the garbled messages aren't arranged like a cypher. If you have the translator circuits installed and have learned a high percentage of their words that's the only way to know what they are saying.
Bait less for half of those fish caught 🥲
Is there a better way to get dung samples cause I've went through so many pellets and only got 4
Find group of fauna - throw pellet in midst. Wait for happy + sign to show - wait for more time for feces
Collect and repeat with another group
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.
Okay just gonna take abit I guess thanks
Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. Dig site in phase 5 had plenty of hungry animals if you haven't gottten the faecium by then.
I think I was switching too much I've done it now thanks, do you know why I can't transfer the companion egg?
The companion egg you get as a reward will be available from your primary save anyway
Thank you

it js takes a little each pellet should give two dung samples
Maybe its a stupid question, but do you have to use the shadow bait only when its night?
It only rises chances for night fish. It dont make u catch night fish at any day time.
Thank you~
So I've somehow managed to get 2 of the new staff,is that normal. I got one at the end of the expedition for nanites,then as an expedition reward from the quicksilver guy
I think the name is broken too. Its showing serpent staff on the one I got from the last expedition, and the old name on the new staff
Yes. Its normal. U can copy last active mt and ship from expedition terminal. As long as expedition is live u can copy it multiple times.
Was there a ship that was supposed to be a reward for the relics expedition? Just curious
Thank you
On Romseyc in Expedition 18 trying to find ancient bones at the bottom of the sea for Master of Bones. Can anyone help? This has been so frustrating!
done
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
Starter system has plenty of bones in comparison to other rdv system bone planets. I made a base and warped back to dig there.
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.
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
Ive finished everything else including reassemble of fossils which comes after
I dont think its true. U should be able to do it with any bones. Or maybe i am now aware about bug of some kind.
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.
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
Aaah. Not sure if it did.
you could double check if you got hit by it when you get a bit of spare time
let me know
what platform are you on?
I'll check all rhe dig sites one more time. Luv this game but after 5 days of trying to figure this out.....
On xbox
On E2, need to reach R4. I am there, says I am there on map, it's selected in path and log... any ideas why I can't go there - there's no marker in the system.
about rdv4 bones, yeah, definitely get bones in a differnt system
remember that this channel is about supporting the currently live expedition
Ah sorry
if you're running expeditions offline..
then you're mostly on your own
and will have to rely on the person who released those files if there's really an issue
ok
(that said, sounds like you either skipped a rendezvous milestone, or you're looking at a rendezvous system of a phase ahead - note how expanded info panel does not have "rdv4 mission signal detected" on there)
Ok, I will have a look. thanks bk!
Went back to rendezvous 4 with enough bones and nothing came up. Its a bug for sure. I did it on my main save so thats it for me. 😟
is phase 5's dig site milestone completed already?
iow, did you actually do it?
not saying to do it now, just asking
ok so you skipped phase 4's collect and assemble milestones, and went on to phase5/dig site 5, is that it?
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.
do you have multiplayer enaled? disable it, then save+reload from mode select menu. throw every bone, and every display you have into a secondary ship/storage container/inventory you don't have access to, then save+reload, then reselect phase4's collect milestone: what does it want you to do lower right of the screen?
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?
yeah, that's what i did basically. i think i got bones from rdv3 system, but not sure now as i've messed around a bit
Yup odly i went to rd3 too. Bone hunting now. 😁
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
i wonder if it's stuck on a loop, if out of range would fix it..
No idea. I'll try again in a few days. Its had 8 hours out me just today. 😅

Requirement: playing solo; if you were playing with friends recently, save+reload from main menu after disabling multiplayer.
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..
Would i go back to my save outside of the expedition to do that? Sorry if I'm a bit slow lol
no no, in expedition, with the expedition character
technically, both characters are stored in the same save file
I hear ya. Lol 🤣😁👍 600 hours in and I'm still a noob. 🙃
no worries. always a learning process
It really is. 😅

how deep does water have to be to count as deep
i was be about 1500 deep
50-60 +
hmm
u nee that nautilon and special shield for pressure
ufound that deep ocean from gas
giant systems
callad Tilad or something like that
liqued is not always water could be also someething else
matter of fact still looking for water deep ocean always found something toxic
gonna need a bigger poo bag 😉
Insert jurasic park meme here
anyone was able to catch a rat fish lol? been doing hours in a toxic planet and nothing
try in a different planet with bones
remember that min depth to fish is 50u
but find a toxic,deepwater bones are kinda shiny rare no?
hmmm ok ty
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.
i did try with the other one and nohing, but i will try again
try with shadow lure at night time, or no bait at all during night time on the bones waterworld in rdv4 for example
have mp disabled, save+restart game to shuffle its memory
ahuh, day 1
you'll get it done np
no worries
I really wish there was a way to play the old expeditions
I think it'd add a lot of content for me to play
I haven’t yet, I have the last rdv left and a couple other milestones in phase 4 & 5, but it shouldn’t take too long
There is, with mods and/or save editing
I want to get the rewards for the expeditions too though
Permanent unlocked on all saves, once completed
You can when you do the save editing offline way
Should be a feature
The more recent ones usually get reduxes at the end of the year, so before the Titan expedition, there was reduxes of the 2024 expeditions, and likely in November or December, there will be the 2025 expedition reduxes
unofficially, only if on pc, note that you'll be mostly on your own running these, see <#nms-modding message>
Oh cool

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.
-# >
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.
-# >
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.
-# >
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.
-# >
If your food item doesn't appear on Cronus interaction dialog, check this guide 
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.
-# >
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.
This post may be updated as the expedition progresses.

Finished Phase 3!
Not a huge fan of the new multitool TBH
The Pillar of Titan coordinates with my outfit much better.
There is if you play on pc apparently. I have personally not tried it yet as i have only bought the game on steam today🤣
Will you keep them if you go online again tho?
you should, I've given myself the expedition rewards outright while online & it was fine
Nice
I might just play them tbh. I loved the game on ps4 but missed quite a few so playing them wouldnt hurt
FINALLY AFTER 4 TOTAL HRS
If there are predators around it can be annoying to get some of the fauna to do the do
Even when you end up feeding the predators they still like to stick around and kill the others
Bad pun removed
oh ok
4 hours! That’s horrible. It took me 30-45 minutes and I found that frustrating. I cannot imagine 4 hours. I admire your commitment.
There's a toxic world in system 2 that has water that gets down to 60 units if you look a little, I got the bonefish on 2 saves within 10 minutes there
there's also one toxic biome planet in rdv3
can confirm that it has deep enough spots
I much prefer the idea of playing the expeditions offline over save editing the rewards in. I feel like I miss something if I don't play the expedition
i agree with you there
i think that "expedition terminus" was the first step towards eventually allowing us to run old expeditions
i rather like that they're using expedition mode as a way to test new things e.g. anomaly suppressor exp16, abandoned mode exp13
i really wish boundaries failing becomes a thing on some planets, a la exp16
Yeah that’s the planet I used, it takes a bit of time to find deep enough spots, but rng favored me and caught the bone fish in 3 catches

Who says you need to pick it up....you can mine it, or refine it
Ah uhhh of course! That’s what I did too! Btw where can an interloper wash their hands? 🤔
How deep is deep enough to fish out either of the bone fishes
I literally caught child of aquarius before a bonefish in my current spot so I think ive done something wrong
50-60+
Oh definitly in the wrong spot lmao, im at like 27 rn
guys im pretty new, what have we unlocked by reaching the level 5 in the community research?
I'm a bit lost, how far am I supposed to travel to reach dig 5? I've been warping for over 11k ly
Have you got a base or point to warp to along the Expedition Route?
You mean in a regular save?
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.
No, a portal or a base computer
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
Best thing to do is go to one of those space stations. Launch back into space and take a look at the galactic map where the expedition route is.
No worries, glad I could help.
Flowers base parts decor
Damn thats ass
Idk. They look nice. Perfect for garden or base pond pool
guys where can I find the optional milestones for the expedition? It says I didnt complete those yet?
Can you guys please share this glyphs for this
How do I find the digsites? The milestones for 2-5 autocompleted and now I can't find the sites.
I am sad to say but mine was completely bugged after this thing happened, i made a complete new safe
The field agent ones will not complete 😦
Yea I am beginning to think I am going to have to start over.
Hopefully the bug is fixed.
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?
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
Thanks
50u
Why the game doesn't tell you this is beyond me.
keep mp disabled from the start and you should be fine
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
usually I am completely overflowing with animal poop after 5 or 6 pellets
Network discovery has also been especially terrible this expedition
- disable mp if you have it enabled
- try a different planet; for example, one that i had no problems doing it on, this moon in rdv5
I definitely think MP being enabled is part of it. Thanks for the advice, I'll check that moon out
I hope the next update does something for network discovery services so other people's bases actually load
be sure to submit a bug report when you get a bit of spare time 🙂
Yeah....spare time... I should find some of that 😛
but I will, you're right
can't be just complaining and never actually doing the work to help the team fix it
if we dont report bugs, things might go unfixed for much longer
Hi everyone! Does any one know how deep the water has to be for the Phase 3 Living Fossil Catch a Bonefish?
at least 50u deep

the one that you can catch at night is easier well at least it was for me
Would a poisonous planet count as a toxic planet for the bonefish task
yes, any planet or moon with bones and fungal mould in resource list can be used to fish all day and night
funny to read this— I just made a base on a hollow cube in the middle of nowhere and got a bonefish and some other stuff at night. It hits ~70 in the center of this base.
When did the expedition ends?
Check the event details at the top of the channels column.
Alternatively run the !exptime command in the https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/372164853286305802
Finding a planet with bones, toxic and deep water is a pain
rolling rng for all the ruin parts is pain
most aint too bad but if you want em all the last couple are gonna suck
Does the egg work for this exepedition because the one didn’t work in the other
Just want to know before I use it
Not really sure what you are asking. The companion egg reward can be hatched within the expedition so I guess the answer you want is 
Ok I was asking because in one of the past expeditions when you hatched it it gave you nothing
So I wanted to ask before I hatched this one too
Thanks
OK -
- in previous expeditions the companion eggs were bugged. This one seems to work. Have not seen any messages of anyone not getting their companion.
same here
Ok thanks just didn’t want to risk it
any way i can fix my game?
i said this previously before and im not bluffing
i unlocked 3 dig arrivals and i can't progress
what platform are you on?
pc, consoles
only way we know of to fix this issue is using a save editor
but it's not a process for the faint of heart
i can guide you, but we'll want to do it in dm
alr
ill take the hel[
i dont feel like redoing the whole expedition on a whole save
give me a few minutes

Hey where did you find the bonefish? I'm at the 3rd digsite system
there are 2 toxic worlds here but no oceans I guess
Maybe go to the space station and look for a fishing base at the teleportation terminal?
It's not working right now. Game says it can't download base info.
@tall vector People have been catching the bonefish in the phase 3 system on the toxic planet in water greater than 50u in depth.
Alternatively plenty of us have been fishing on non-toxic planets in deep water for the alternate fish. Just have to attempt to catch it at night.
Is this the Ligart Prime planet?
I'm stupid, because I can't find any oceans in this planet
Never mind. Flew to where another player had landed and found water.
Think I am done with this expedition. Started a second save because of the dig site bug. Now I just lost all of my exosuit inventory on this save. any fix to this?
lost suit inventory how exactly?
that usually only happens when player death on foot
no
i honestly never had such a thing happen, and i've been playing for a long time, guess it's just some rare bug

I finished the expedition but I'm not yet exiting or anything, I'm glad I was able to get it done!
Is that all this expedition is? collecting bones? I haven’t started it yet and it’ll be my first ever so i have no clue what to do
Is anyone else having problems with the bonefish
collecting bones, scanning fauna/flora/minerals, digging up artifacts/buried cashes, tiny bit of cooking, and reporting to the rdv points to assemble fossils is pretty much what it is, yes
it also adds ancient bone recipes to cooking which it goes over in the expidition
a few recipes which involve bones not sure how much
thank you
you're welcome
Anyone know the reward for this expedition
The final phase is a cosmetic armor set. There is also a unique staff as a reward. #nms-expedition message
Alright guys I need help
I was at dig site 4 ready to assemble a reptile fossil
But it said I'm on limb short so I went to exchange it at the space station
Now I lost my dig site 4
Any way to reach it?
just drop on the planet anywhere and assemble it, once assembled milestone should complete
The problem it , I left my assemble over there so I need to collect all that stuff again
😭
Any tips on finding water with a depth of at least 50u? Wherever I go I can never seem to find deeper than 20u
well, this post has latitude+longitude coordinates for all dig sites #nms-expedition message
goto space first, turn back around and enter photo mode+move sun if needed, drop right in the middle of the biggest water body you can see, land, exit ship, cast your fishing line, press H or dpad left to show HUD, look lower left for depth
Can anyone help me break through the 2nd and 3rd phase of the Expedition?
what are you having difficulties with?
It's not hardships, and because I'm doing the expeditions only to pick up the pet, and the staff.
I just want to go fast so I can play my game again.
Am I doing this right? Or do I just have bad rng?
i'd suggest not having multiplayer enabled, but otherwise looks good (min depth is 50u). you may wish to try shadow lure at night time, or even no bait at all
well, what is it that you're looking for exactly? advice on how to complete a milestone?
- the fish you'll have to catch it yourself for it to count for the milestone
- warp cells - just buy the ferrite dust and the chromatic metal, loot condensed carbon and o2 from a few planets, keep an eye out for larger o2 plant clusters
Can't you transfer?
Ok
Because I created Save now, so it's almost nothing.
Can't you send my main save to this one?
Should we use exosuit expansion units in expedition or save it for main save?
Like it's getting annoying with low storage
U to you. If u dont use it , u can transfer them to main save.
You got how?
After u finish exp u can transfer stuff from exp terminal on anomaly
If u started exp on main save

@remote thunder Which bait is better for catching the bone fish?
depends; daytime try bionic lure, night time try shadow lure or no bait
Ok
Am i supposed to save it?
What is this thing for?
I was going to sell bones for rags and bones?
Any one?
sell
Also , do i need to sell all the extra tech modules or will it automatically be turned into nanites once I end the expedition?
the latter, should automatically be sold for nanites
Are there any bases at rendezvous 4 my expedition route isn’t working
It won’t show up idk where it is
but do you have reach dig site5 milestone selected?
but do you see it on the galaxy map?
^ that's how far it is from rdv4
- do you have reach dig site 5 milestone selected?
Yes
- goto a station teleporter, teleport back to rendezvous 4 (see subnames under station names), then goto space, open galaxy map, try locating rdv5 using the assistance of the expedition route again
My game auto completed all the dig site location objectives and now the expedition route won't highlight for me? I haven't even made it to rdv 3 and I have no idea where to go. I know there is a list of the systems, but how am I supposed to find those systems without the route highlighted? I'm on PS5.

This bonefish is pissing me off. I was fishing, and multi-player did it's magic and it was suddenly 1PM, not 11pm.
sorry that happened to you, seen several other players affected by this glitch (which seems to happen more when mp is enabled, or even by just turning it on). since you're on ps5, using a save editor to fix it isn't possible, so i strongly recommend raising a bug report when you get a bit of spare time. devs might reply back and ask for your save files.

What system/planet is best to find Memory Stones?
starter planet was a nice one, rdv5 planet not bad either
Thanks. I'm still in the starter system, so I'll go back to the starting planet
anything special i should bring?
just the basics and some repair kits
there's a pinned post with basics in this channel, don't need to bring aqua jets though
ik, some expeditions have milestones where having a certain item like shadow bait in this one helps
so i always ask
oh yeah - could bring some shadow lure, sure!
that said, a milestone will reward 40 bionic lure
i havent started the expedition are there any recommendations?

I just got an A class freighter in expedition. Can I bring it into the main game once I'm done? It's the same save file.
nope
Boo
How do I find deep enough water for bone fish
Oh ok ty
do i get to keep expedition rewards that ive collected after i finish? should i be saving them and not clicking collect orrrrr
Collect. Phase rewards will become unlocked account wide in qs shop
okay thanks
Do I keep my ships from the expedition
you can copy ship back if you started with your main save
if you started a new save for the expedition you keep everything on that save

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.
I'm still surprised they went past 16 :p
Yeah, sometimes they're just to show off the new mechanics, and the new mechanics this time aren't quite Expedition-length.
Honestly I'm down for an easy low stress expedition every once in awhile. Some of them have been extremely stressful to complete
easy exp, free loot 
Expedition 18: Relics completed. This one was nice, super chill. me and my friend had fun with it
Heck yea man I finished it yesterday too first one to be completed it was a great expedition in my opinion
I just got a “distressed sentinel interceptor” signal while playing the expedition which I don’t remember getting in my primary save. Anyone know what it is?
Side quest for getting your first interceptor if memory serves right
I cannot stand that objective genuinely.
I get why it exists of course but
Idm it not being overly difficult. They're not really designed to be.
Aquarius still the best one I've ever done.
I know they've never been really difficult, but this one was by far the easiest.
Leviathan was, difficulty wise, the best one for me personally.
Starting the expedition, anything particular I should bring along?
cant go wrong with a stack of warp cell
The pin with the overview is a bit far down in the pins, so here: #nms-expedition message
I’m a little confused by the fossils milestone (Jr Field Agent). I’ve found a bunch of fossil beds and have dug up quite a few pieces. Is there someone I need to deliver them to in order to ‘complete’ the fossil? Or have I just not unearthed all of the correct pieces? Also for the Avian milestone, how do I get the plinth to display it on? I’m not seeing the research thing to build, do I need to unlock it from the space station? Thanks in advance for the support, just started playing a few days ago on Switch and jumped into expeditions after just a few hours and still learning the basics.
Just need all the pieces for a complete fossil in your backpack or ship or exocraft (skull, 2 legs, torso, tail)
make sure you go back to the right dig site galactic pal society... I was on the wrong system for a bit and it wouldn't advance.
Did you mean to ping our bot
@unkempt kraken or someone else 
-# (not that Gunter doesn't enjoy being mentioned)
Idk why it did that haha 😂
Discord apps doing weird things 
Oh I didn’t go to the galactic pal society thing, will head there now. Thank you!
I think this one was incredibly tedious and whoever picked 80 as one of the tasks should consider not doing that shit in future.
I was done with everything else except 80 bones and digginng when was half the way.
5, 1 per phase
Why am I not able to transfer stuff from expedition to main safe?
Note that I have collected all the rewards as my inventory is full
Also is it beneficial to take some of the modules with me to main save or just sell them all?
you should be able to via the expedition terminal at the anomaly once you've fully completed all milestones & collected rewards (which you said you have)
depends, some of the modules could be useful as they could have better stats, the rest prob aren't necessary
was nice taking the purple drive from the expedition to the new save
How to check stats I've heard using them will decrease value
ah you have uninstalled ones, I thought you meant ones you had put on your suit/ship/tool already
No uninstalled ones
I have plenty of those
and yes, once you install them, they're only worth 16 nanites repackaged, but you can also dismantle for resources instead
right, those can't have their stats checked without actually installing them
Sooo , sell them?
you could sell them, but you could bring them back to see if they'll improve your main save, and dismantle/sell if they don't
When starting the Expedition from a primary save, anything you don't bring back will be automatically converted to Units or Nanites when ending the Expedition.
true, but selling them now also works because all currency transfers over
Indeed, but requires effort to sell... Lol

just cooked everything into bone broth 🤣
we were talking about upgrade modules, not bones
but the bones are worth more on their own or in exhibits rather than cooked
I tried merging all me bones before ending the expedition
I got to the milestone for selling bones via the required exhibits so I just sold the rest lol

I was saving them for main save exhibits
Instead of trying to find land to dig fossils on this mostly water planet I should be smart and go back to the R1 or R2 system
To fill my bone quota
Starter system planet has plenty of bones.
Yes
That’s where I’m going.
I have like…36 out of 80 bones
yeah, the water planet with bones are hard to find the actual bones, other rdv systems have other places for bones, I think a lot of people did that & circled back, tho for me, I already had plenty of bones before even getting there, only need 1 skull, 1 torso, 2 limbs, and 1 tail for a complete skeleton
not if you put the broth into ingestor when mining runaway mould...make sure you have enough free inventory first
fair, but I didn't have the ingestor for this expedition
this counts as toxic for the bonefish right
yes
that's where I caught mine
A bit past the halfway point now with 47 fossils
💪
and this needs to say 50u at sea floor?
Just started a new save
hmm is it bugged
if I jump into that water
then I see this, thats directly jumped in
but fishing outside says like 7u
so this spot should be fine?
i'd try a diff spot to be sure
reloading now
no diff after reload
I did catch a "giant ray" tho, it said only found in the deepest of waters
so maybe it counts as deep enough
yeah, sounds like it would then
toxic stonefish, i need bone fish smh :p
good luck! 🙂
thx
lol found a workaround for the depth indicator
relanded my ship inside the hole
then fishing from atop the ship
oh nice
Fishing on Romseyc I12. do I have to fish at night, or is this toxic? Only says waterworld in the description
heh

I'm gonna sleep and retry tomorrow after work
Sigh. I have run into multiple instances where the fossil beds are in bedrock (which you can’t dig with the terrain manipulator) and inaccessible.
Not that all of them are like that but I’ve run into it 2 or 3 times.
!hg They may not know about it.
Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
All the ones I've encountered were still shallow enough to get them even in the bedrock. Were yours obtainable?
Has anyone found a fix for the bug where the first objective of every step bugged out and completed themselves?
only fix i'm aware of requires using save editor (so pc only), and it's not a process for the faint of heart
oh do they allow you to edit expedition steps?
keeping it very simple, a save editor allows us to undo milestone completion, yes
nice thanks, I'll look into it. definitely wanna keep going on this expedition lol
it's not a simple checkbox though
I'm ok with that, I look at massive amount oftext logs daily at work lol
alternatively, raise a bug report and attach your save files in the report so that the devs can take a look
I did send a bug report but haven't heard back
This fishing part sucks. any ideal planets at checkpoint 4 on onwards?
i got my fish in the bones waterworld in rendezvous 4 (night time only)
Thats where I am. Been using bionic lure to no avail
night only correct
I caught both of my expedition fish on Ligart Prime
should be in the same system
ligart prime is in rdv3
I did it! 80 fossils
depth is at 58u so you're good there
@remote thunder do we know how RewardCollected is calculated? I have to subtract some numbers to mark them unclaimed. I changed the values in MilestoneValues for the arrays of the mistakenly completed ones
oh, 8 bits?
oh it's easy, since it's the first objective, subtract one from the value
basically, rewardcollected is a decimal number converted from a binary, which is made by assigning 0 or 1 to milestones. for example, a phase that only has the first milestone completed and all others of that phase not completed would be 00000001, which converted to decimal would be 1
actually, sorry
Cool yeah. 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
yes, you're missing the missionprogress and markerstack steps, as well as the rendezvousuas
@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)
-1 worked
thank you!!
I only had to edit missionprogress, not the other
now keep mp disabled all the way
strange, maybe different "strengths" of the glitch
well, MilestoneValues and RewardCollected too of course
the other player i tried this with had to go to markerstack
oh interesting
just missionprogress didn't readd markers
thanks again for the help, I'm gonna jump back and play nms now lol
have fun
so super exotic gas giants are a thing?
playing on steamdeck thats why its not a screenshot xd
this doesn't look to be a gas giant
no, no mixing of biomes
Is there a better way to warp than individually jumping? There are like 7 jumps to get to the next dig site 😦
upgrade your hyperdrive range
thanks will look for that, I just started so I don’t have a lot of stuff but just saved a freighter
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
ohh okay good to know, on phase 3 now
its a censored giant. odd name
didnt know there could be non-gas giants
didnt say "unknown giant" when you scanned it from space?
yep, there can be
oooh okay
add giant, and yeah, a mega exotic giant
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?
Play until the Community Milestones are complete (specifically listed in each phase). This expedition doesn't have any of them, so you can end it when you finish. You do get to keep all the credits and nanites you earn during expeditions.
Here's what activities and items are paid out as credits and nanites when you end an expedition.
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.
If you started from a New save, you keep everything.
No, I started a new save and then stated the exp within that save once I unlocked the anomaly
Thanks for the info, though!
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
yeah, that's what i was thinking you're going to need
but decided to let you go ahead, just in case something was different
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
disable multiplayer, save, return to mode select, load save again
hey any report a ahole camping point 2 I had pvp off but he used missiles to burn me
nah, no way to report in game - if there isn't something platform side you can do, then no, just glad you had pvp off
I was dying to fire
so bypassing system
90% sure was a player
why I have my markers hidden for all
what is this
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.
🤦♂️
there's no cap besides the default cap, so you can keep playing if you want to, I usually keep it open so I can help people in the expedition, once you fully end the expedition & exit, you can't go back in
Just curious, I'm only in Phase 2 of the Expedition, but is there a Titan Worm fossil by chance?
I don't think so. I never saw anything like that
no, the fossil companion is an elephant type
This is why I do Expeditions with Multiplayer Disabled. Too many people on a narrow path makes easy targets for griefers.
What's worse is that you cannot turn off item loss on death in the Expedition.
could store items in ship
at least somewhat safe
griefers should get network banned
that make game way better if ban people from multiplayer that abuse it
maybe never perma ban but max 1 year
yes you can, I have always been able to grab my grave when I died in expeditions, even from primary save, and most of the settings can be adjusted
Oh I just meant something for a display not specifically for a companion. Well damn, I hope they add a Titan Worm display later lol.
nah, titan worm can't be done in a display either
Hey folks, trying to get a pic of 5 ground creatures; I got one but doesn't seem to register, anyone know how to complete this?

Does one need to build a base to show the exhibit in each phase to get the fossil tasks done?
I built exhibits at the rendezvous, no base required
Technically you don’t need to even be at the rdv point/dig site, you just have to be on a planet’s surface to place the assembly platform for exhibits
im at the final digsite system
anywhere good to catch a bonefish there?
night time or toxic waters
I believe
Anywhere with water at night or at any point with toxic biome, see pins for more
You have to build/assemble 1 exhibit per rdv dig site point
and then pack it
yes, you need to package the exhibit to count
I have checked on other Expeditions and the setting for 'Death Consequences' did not allow for 'No item loss'. I just checked again on the current Expedition and that setting is definitely not available on PC (Steam). I would imagine it is the same for all platforms...
I misunderstood, I thought you meant you couldn't change it down to standard from items destroyed, when you say "items lost", I presumed incorrected that meant permanent loss, not recoverable via graves
If you click save delete under death consequences you get 2billion credits for free
always like seeing these, my favorite cosmetic star type

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
you know realistically that is not possible
3 star system would easily destroy them selves after awhile
not mention possibility slinging planets out of their orbit
Still crashing
try multiplayer off
also set to performance in setting rather than graphics
Thanks <3
can you not just...enjoy how pretty it is?
it is
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.
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
Nice, I'm going to try that on the next run. I'm on my 5th save doing it now... Lol
😂 I love it
makin me want to start another save for it
humble....
wont do any good
simply having it doesn't reveal purple stars
revealing purple stars unlocks its blueprint, as well as freighter's
purple stars already revealed
I seen one without
and said I needed that hyper drive
not all of them
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
I did this as well
Got me it and now can access all the main star types. Thought it worked for purple too but I'm prob wrong
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)
Ayy this is great to hear. I contemplated removing the purple drive because I enjoyed In Stellar Multitude and didn't want it to auto complete
Ty for the info
I also almost suffered death from them

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
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
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
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
lol thanks, lesson learned 😦
o7
you could however, install them in expedition, then package them if exosuit/keep them installed on ship and/or multitool then copy ship and mt from expedition to primary, package stuff
that ofc wont unlock the bp..
but
it's something
you'll have to unlock fossil displays from anomaly in your primary save
Thanks I see now that I’ve ended it, I could’ve taken the ship with its tech as well as the multitool. No rush, thank you for the advice.
every expedition you learn more
ive learned to squeeze every bit of loot possible out of it at this point but it took me nearly half a dozen expeditions to learn
Been trying to experience it without spoiling too much but you all have been very helpful
is there an issue with the expeidition? i lost my entire inventory
my ship and multi-tool are broken
So...finding ancient bones...on a Waterworld? Is this a bug?
5 ground creatures in one picture.
spicy
honestly yeah, not that hard a challenge at all

I think i need better glasses, no way it says excavate 80 ancient bones
Not a bug but a bit of a troll. Get your bones from another planet / system and you'll be good.
any way nuke a world all it's fana
These mother fuckers deserve get wiped out
and my patients is gone
i mean, when you say it like that it feels less overwhelming actually
If you find planets that have sites with 5-8 bones in a tight group it goes pretty quick. Also - if you like running missions - pick up relic missions at any space stations or the Nexus when you can. 2 birds 1 stone.
Imo best place to dig for bones is starter system anyways. I rarely got 1 bone there
ah, wonderful tip, thank you!
jeez, 3500 units of dirt? Do the devs not remember some people play this on the switch? Even minecraft cant handle you mining too fast on this thing
Dig down. Use flat option on terrain manipulator.
I just tped back to Rend 1 to peacefully dig up bobes
