i just woke up from DREAMING about trying to catch the bonefish after spending way too long trying yesterday 😭
speaking of, wheres all the exos? almost every expedition ive done had at least one vehicle. the one expedition focused around digging and we dont get one?
For this one you can unlock the exo bae with the 30 salvaged data they give you
But the exped is totally doable without them
sure, but man all that walking, this starship sucks
Adopt a pet
did you use the shadow lure?
im not sure this is the right channel to ask this but oh well. people who have done the expedition what resources should i bring with me to help out

just got it in 3 tries this morning 🤯
Ah, forgot, no gifs
Just checking but is it normal for the planet that the field office is on to be uh... tilted? I struggled to reach the Gek to speak with him.
known issue with multiplayer freighters too close to rdv points, turn off multiplayer & save/reload
Also if near the intersection point of merged planets
so one of the tasks gave this, can you still get them naturally outside expeditions?
coz these were the rare ones before the bone update?
or are they gone now
I think I've only seen the new bones so far
As rewards, you can
I kinda miss the rarity
it was cool when you got a golden bone, but now everything is gold and 72k on its own?
154k years damn
that oldest think I have seen in game so far
Bones up to 3k yo u can dig up. Above 10k yo u get from space encounters.
Cursed exp gived 250k yo. 2x same ones for some reason.
cursed exp?
Exp 16
darn it, why do i always forget this
not sure, but fossil seems to be dropping still from grave of the ocean king space encounter
Is it too much to ask for just a simple bonefish...
same boat
remember:
(from the pinned post)
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.
good luck!
(also, keep mp disabled! try to restart game to juggle its memory 🤞 !)
mostly a matter of rng luck
as is most of this game.
So I've got this bug that I'm certain have seen talked about before. I just finished Phase 4 of the Expedition, but the Map doesn't continue for showing a path to the 5th rendesvous.
is the 5th rendezvous milestone already completed?
or is it currently selected?
I have "Report to Dig V" selected. I have completed the Defeat Guardian milestone, but that's the only one. I'm still in the Phase 4 system.
but you've been to dig site 5 system already or not?
No not yet, trying to get there now lol.
okay so, what system are you in atm?
Oishiv?
I just finished Dig 4, I have not been to Dig 5 and...hold up, lemme check again.
Yeup, Oiset
Yeah, Oiset
Hmm...weird.
Unless...I happenstanced into Dig 5's system without knowing?
open photo mode, lower left. address matches 










, except first glyph?
LOL not at all.
Bird, sunset, dragonfly, sunset, sunset...are the start of where I'm at.
goto a station, teleport back to rendezvous 4
then from there, rdv5 is actually not far away
Okay, I think I DID happenstance there on my own LMAO becuase it says that I've already been to Yugaiati.
then yeah, just teleport back 🙂
yeah, this is where I just was the last time I was on the Nexus because it's still called into this system. Very strange, oh well. Thanks for the help!
Radar is empty, why?
The hurricane?
No ship icon, no mission icon, nothing here. I didn't do anything.
This icon will disappear when I face the mission direction.
I don't know why
I have seen posts about this when you have a Freighter with the NPC team onboard. Check this post in case that is it: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1e81322/figured_out_what_cauuses_icons_to_vanish_from/
If that isn't it, make a report to HG.

@quaint urchin Would creating a restore point - exiting out and reloading hurt anything do you think? It's what I would normally try.
That is always a good idea! Didn't think of that...
That is not the reason; the N icon is missing, too.
This has happened several times.
Oh wow, in that case I would create a Restore Point and quit the game. See what happens when you load back in...
If it is still broken, submit a Report to HG.

Yea, sometimes Mods can unintentionally break other things. Try removing all of those to see if it helps first.
I tried restarting the game, uninstalling the mod, and verifying files. But still the same.
I should reinstall the game.
I guess
Let me have a look.
If I disable HUD, the black circle in the middle of the top will vanish as well.
But it's not, still the same, I don't know why.
I thought it would be enough as well.
So I don't know . Sometimes it will be OK after a restart or update.
I've hit the wall with ideas - maybe someone more experienced can help in the https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/471868642204712971
This seems more than an expedition related issue
Yes, thanks a lot.
If it is still the same after reinstall.I will try to discuss this in #nms-questions
I wish you the best of luck. Hope it works.
Thanks
Still the same.
will i miss out if i just buy an expedition starship and blast off to dig site 3? This expedition has like no warp drive upgrades and these warp cores are very weak
the first 2 dig sites weren't that bad distanc wise, but im gonna need to do 7 warps to get to bloody 3
You don't miss out on anything significant if you get a better ship. Many experienced players rush to a dissonant system and grab a sentinel ship since they have a better base jump distance.
Some go to the anomaly and get a better ship through copy one in or claiming a previous reward.
ive actually been curious about this. i remember in a past expedition when they introduced sentinel ships, you found them throughthe harmonic camp. But how i do i find them now on dissonant worlds?
Same way
But how do i find harmonic camps, is it just rng?
Using an echo locator that you can get off some of the dissonant resonators.
You can also get a ship location by starting a fight with corrupted sentinels and defeating all 5 waves.
i think id prefer looking for a resonator haha
I'm not sure it works 100% though since some dissonant worlds seem to have nothing of worth on them.
I think as long as you spot corrupted sentinels and dissonant resonators it's very likely you will find a camp.
The only thing better than gettting an expedition starship is getting one of the past expedition multitools
The planet/system needs to be inhabited - they obey the same rules as crashed ships
No exotics, no dead worlds, no uncharted/uninhabited systems
thanks for the tips, very much appreciated
Finally collected 80 fossils, appreciate the devs allowing us to have discounted fuel
I think anything over 50u counts
so how do i get dung?
I've been feeding a horde of like 20 animals for the past 10 minutes and haven't gotten a single pile
they just walk around, get the green cross and it just disappears like 1 minute after

Ty
after i finish the expedition, to copy multitool and ship, do they stay in the expedition terminus indefinitely until i can gather enough nanites? or is there a deadline?
iirc, deadline would be until expedition ends server side, which would be in 20d
Do i keep my units and nanites from expedition when i end it?
Maybe try following the steps in this link: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004591645-I-am-experiencing-severe-graphics-or-performance-issues-on-PC
Current status: getting a bunch of CHONK dinosaurs to poop
Okay! Just two more milestones and I’ll be done.
One more! Just have to sell a lot of fossils.
Yay I did it!
Oh neat. I can be a Lithoid.
But I think I will stick with being an Autophage.
OH 2O days whew i thought i missed it lol
typically, when do new expeditions start after the last? is it random, right away, or takes a long time? 🤔
Usualy it was few weeks between expeditions. 4 expeditions per year + reruns around december ( 2weeks per exp). Lately HG started to do expeditions back to back.
oh cool, thx
We dont know any hg plans or roadmaps. So both cases are on the table. Next exp can start right after this one. Or weeks later we just dont know.
Been trying to catch the damn bone fish for days…. What did you use?
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.
Thanks, there’s some nuggets in here I wasn’t aware of. 🙏
Regular rod,on top of my ship floating in the middle of a large body of water, a whole mornin
Finally completed the expedition and the Drip is real
I tried all these steps, but it's still the same.
Thx a lot.
only the reduxes when they happen, or by save editing
Damn…. I like the method though. Fishing is such a drag….
I had transferred my main ship, the living Wraith, so I was like a poor entity, sitting on top of a giant flying squid, catching fishes left and right. I felt the urge to return to the ocean anything tentaculated I caught
Haha!
and of course, I got no expansions for it when I got the reward
Hey, how do you get living ships? Ive been researching for well over 3 hours i cant find it anywhere.
You start a quest by buying an egg at the quicksilver merchant
LONGASS quest
Oh i see, how much does it cost?
Oh god 😭 😭
500 or 400ish
I can buy that rn, how long did it take you?
One week. The quest is time gated
Jesus fuck
You have to grow parts
I cba 1 week is wild 😭 🙏
Oh
Alright, thank you
Anytime
@unreal gale is that it?
Yes
its not 400 😭
Forgive me, I'm old. Memory is not that good anymore
No no its fine lol
I'm quessing you can't bring your frigate out of expedition
thanks, that's a shame found a nice a class, way better than the free c class I got in my regular save
No use to sidetrack much from expedition tasks imo
Ships/animal locations are cross mode. So if u write down coords u can find it again on main save
Yeah I think the only way to keep a frigate is to continue that expedition as your main save 😦
Started expedition 18 today, got a question - are the technology slots in expedition 18 limited? I cannot buy more slots in tech, only cargo?
What are the expedition rewards?
Ty
you move the cursor left or right when purchasing slots and it will move between technology slots or cargo slots. that applies to all things that have inventory
that can be expanded
Do you keep all the items you get when doing expeditions
like would i keep all of this stuff
if you started from a main save, yes but only a limited amount
if you started from a new save, yes you keep everything once converted to a normal save
I really dont understand the save stuff, can u simplify it for me
how did you start the expedition, from the main menu/new game, or from the expedition terminal in the anomaly?
terminal
ok, so you started from an existing main save, and once you've completed the expedition, you can send back a limited amount of items (24 stacks of items, 8 stacks of tech) when you officially want to end it
oh i see, thank you!
you're welcome!
and if you made a copy of your multitool and starship while in the expedition and make one small change you can copy it again when your out of the expedition and you will have duplicate technology mods
When started from an Existing save at the end you can load and transfer items back via the terminal multiple times. Load Terminal> Save> Options Menu 'Return to primary save'> Unload terminal, copy Ship/Multi-tool> Save> Visit Terminal 'Resume Expedition'> Load Terminal> Change Active Ship/Multi-tool> Save> 'Return to primary save' (Repeat as needed).
Just remember that you have to complete and claim all Milestones for the terminal to unlock so you can place items in there.
i swear the fishing mission is driving me crazy
2 day farming that mf bonefish
2 whole days
I followed this advice and fished on an Ice planet at night using the Shadow Lures. The water was 54U deep. #nms-expedition message
RNG can be mean... 😫
wasted all my luck on castorice for HSR 😢
I used the ice planet in the Starting System for the last two times I did it.
There might be something odd about fish spawns on an Ocean planet.
is the relics expidition still ongoing?
noice
It's a cozy one
throught I missed it. started it but life got busy
That's a mood
it's a long one tho
some rng with the fishing but that's pretty much it
i started talking chinese when i saw i needed an atlantid hyperdrive
fwiw, i still got done in 3h30
starter ship has atlantid drive, just need to be aware of that
WTF SERIOUSLY ?
I instantly swapped it with my starborn phoenix xd
nope it doesn't even have the previous ones
i had to go from cadmium to atlantid
Ah my b I figured it'd have it by now
Ive been here for an hour finishing and havent got it, im on a poisonais planet, wtf am i doing wrong
Ive got every other fish under the sun but this pissing bonefish
same bro xd
its fucking bullshittt
ima crashout bigtime
Try look for deep water (50u deep at least), make some shadow lures, and try fishing for them at night in toxic planet

No complaints with a line in the water
Anyone got a bone fish spot struggling to find them
check this pinned post <#nms-expedition message>
I need help with thid expedition
its so hard bro
ofc i get this instead
But have you tried catching fish under the moon like they literally tell you to
what moon
there isnt no moon where i am
i cant spawn those in a expedition
What
this is bsss
Goodness. I'm trying to get all legendaries and I got so many of those.
To the point that the name is almost giving me PTSD.
its killing me
There's something going on with that shrimp, its spawn rate is crazy
ikr
Its getting to the point im thinking about just quitting this stupid expedition
Unlucky
Anyone got any shadow lures spare, accidentally left my game running whilst I went out and died, whole inventory lost
Must have died twice due to weather because my grave inventory was empty
i completely forgot about auto traps, where are those, on the anomaly right?
I was actually on a poisonous Water planet, no land. i Was curious because i saw communication stations, assumed it was to mark land. It actually marked a deep area for fishing, and by using my ships extra height i was able to get that tasty 50 depth
Is the fase 4 planet full water? Can’t seem to find land for bones
Same with me, done a couple of hours now. Fought a jelly fish boss, caught every damn thing except a bonefish. Fishing is so boring.
Use the fishbait and fish in the night
Got it in few minutes
I have been exclusively fishing at night, in deep water as the game plainly says, and used the lures provided in the mission rewards and 70 catches still nothing.
You can get the bones somewhere else
Dont use those
Use shadow lures
Pff that sucks
Yea I gave up on that planet kek
I’ll give it a crack

I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with the bonefish quest
Its a bit silly when arriving at rendezvous 4 that the only planet there listed with ancient bones is a water world 'Romseyc I12'
you can get bones from other rdv points and come back later if you don't have enough
Yeah it's just silly they aren't in same system as rendezvous
i just went to the last rendezvous point and came back after getting 80 bones
As a relatively new player who just completed the atlas path how long would it take me to complete the full exposition
Expedition*
Why’s it so difficult to find a toxic planet 😭
i finished the expedition in 4 hours as a new player
How new
i got the game 3 days ago
Fair enough
you just have to do an hour in a normal save to get the basics and the expedition is pretty easy
good way to start a save
Is it material hungry?
the expeditions give a ton of rewards
really great for starting a save on an expedition and turning it into your main
Yes. that
plus you immediately get an atlantid drive
JMO, but I could never run and gun just to finish an Exp quickly. Plenty of time to do it leisurely.
Wait so expositions don’t use the same save
I mean I really wanna go for the armour set
you can do an expedition on your own save and transfer some stuff
but me as a new player it was better to turn it into my main save
So I at least get to use my own ship right?
no
So much is missed rushing it, and it`s pretty easy and straightforward after you start.
I don’t wanna be that person but missions like those I only really care about the rewards
Million ways to play yes? Which ever is funnest I say right?
I play me and everyone else plays what they like bestest hehe
Like MP. Ive never played a game mp. I play one game til the wheels fall off, like I will this one. Too much to do for me, Im slow
always solo
I`m on, cheers
There is one in the same system of the rendezvous that requires it
oh fr?
i’ve gone so far out from that system cuz it’s the last thing I need before i can complete the expedition idek where to get to it
can just teleport back to rendezvous 3 from any teleporter (look for the subnames in your station's destination list)
there is only a few deep ocean spots there
you can find the coords if you look it up though
there's probably uploaded player bases in the teleporter at deep enough spots - just recommend having mp disabled when actually fishing
omg i didnt even think about that
that said, others have had good luck in non-toxic biome planets as well, such as the frozen biome planet in the starter system or the bones waterworld in rdv4
when night time, try using no bait or shadow lure
there was a communication center at one of the spots
forgot which though
hours of trying and i got it within 10 mins of doing exactly this
life saver
happy for you
God that fish was so tedious
you can copy it but require nanites to do so
Think my game got bugged.
wdym
I'm in the RDV4 system but it's not giving me the way point.
for the camp?
Yeah
go back to the log area and click on the milestone to locate it
Time to start the expedition
Is there a way to check the milestones? So I know what to carry
certainly, check the pinned posts
that said, besides the basics list also pinned here, i'd suggest bringing repair kits
Is there anything I can do to make this terrible grind go faster?
the starter system has ancient bone fossil beds with at least 3, usually 5-10 per, that's where I did the last few once I got to that milestone
oml how much longer are we going to wait for the next expodition
also why does this server use a adventure time AI instead of a Atlas Ai bot
or sentinel
it doesn't quite fit
Check for Nexus missions that are also to collect bones.
I just got mild anxiety landing on the waterworld, jumping into the water to see if it was 50+ deep and seeing that it was 890+ deep. 
at least until the currently running one is over, but there are no devs here, this is a community run discord server, so we have as much information as you do (aka, none), based on previous expeditions, the new one could start hours after the previous, or could take days/weeks in between
Thanks
Anyone else having trouble getting the "collect a complete fossil" milestone? I tried the getting far away trick and that stil hasn't activated it.
Make sure you get 5 fossil parts that would make up a complete fossil. No need to assemble it, just keep it together in your inventory. Then make sure to return to the correct Galactic Paleontology Society afterwards.
Hint: No need to jump in to check water depth. Just cast your fishing rig and cycle the HUD. It shows water depth on the lower left of the screen.
Anyone got any tips on how to catch the Bonefish? I really struggle with fishing mini games 😛

I was struggling. Caught mine at a depth of 48 with shadow lure as recommended by a kind soul here when I reached out for help. Night fishing only. 👍
Anyone else notice that trying to split stacks when trading fossiles causes tthe trade to correctly indentify the # of fossiles you put, but then take the whole stack?
Also has anyone else lose a packaged fossil kit when sending to another player? Cause my bro and I had ours super glitfch out,a nd anything in the slot the package was in got super deleted
I wonder if you have to pre-split them in your inventory first. Something similar happens when you attempt to use just one Life Support Gel but you need slightly over 1. If you don't pre-split, it'll take two even if you only drag and drop 1.
I shouold try next time, but that was a lot of grinding to get what I lost already
Yes, both happened to me and my brother.
Same thing happened to me, so I'm holding off trading fossils until there's a fix
If pre-splitting in your inventory doesn't work you could put the ones you want to keep in a storage container
Thought about that. It could work, but I didn't bother testing it 😆
The whole trading thing isn't something I'm invested in for the time being to be honest
Yeah I can't imagine I'd ever want to do it aside for a quest
I used the Nutrient Processor to carry my bones. It's much better when all of those bones only take up 1 inventory slot.
Before trading you can just take out the bones you intend to trade and then pickup the Nutrient Processor.
good tip, never thought of that
Oh shoot that's smart

Genius
Where can you assemble the ancient avian other then the spot with a crashed freighter on it?
anywhere you can build
Forgot about that
Is there anything to do with the giant body of the new guardian things? Found one but it is just siting there.
What is equipment synthesis? Does it just create a copy of my gear from my main world in the expedition? Does this take those items away from my main world, or does it just duplicate them temporarily for the expedition?
yes, you'd create a copy of your ship & tool from your primary save using nanites, and it's just a duplication for the expedition
Thank you!
Just double checking, how long do we still have?

How do I unsummon the exo-skiff in the expedition? I did the Living Fossils Milestone and I never got the popup where it says completed and you can bypass to hit tab, now it seems kind of 'stuck where I can't use E on any part of it for cold storage or grill, not sure if it's a bug?
If I collected the expedition multi-tool while still in the expedition, will I be able to reclaim it once I get back to my main save, or do I need to copy it over?
Why is there a derelict freighter parked on top of the Paleology Society
It's sleeping
is there any benefit to having duplicates of a ship? i recently upgraded a (my first) sentinel ship to S tier, but is there any benefit to bringing a copy to expedition and then extracting it again back to the main game?
so pretty much no, idk how much i'd get for the ship but unlikely that would be worth the amount of nanites i'd have to spend on it lol. thanks
They need bones to fix the ship. It's completely obvious. 🤣
It looks like they got boned trying to arrive.
try to find a nice planet with easy weather and flatish land, and go wild hunting for fossil beds. If you dig up a technology site, the Anomaly becomes available, and with enough of those you can get a minotaur, which will help travel from site to site, because digging those 80 fossils is a pain. Also, when you dig around go lilling the bad plants, as that is also a thing that you have to do, and perhaps feed some animals and adopt one. The 80 fossils takes forever, but I used the exocarft t go from place to place and that made it bearable.
I got some ship upgrade rewards from the expedition, but I can't use them because my ship has no slots left. How do I get more technology slots? Does the expedition campaign think I have a different ship by now?
another player spawned a derelict freighter just above the planet which screws with gravity for anyone else

if you're at 60 tech slots, should be able to just cancel out of applying them and milestone will still claim
Ah. Okay, that makes more sense, I guess.
disable mp, save+reload from main menu
it'll be gone
Copy that. I've noticed multiplayer doesn't really enhance the experience. Just seems to make things more difficult, lol.

Only benefit would be to duplicate certain unique ship upgrades if you play on switch and can't save edit/do the MP glitch
That would be the only way to duplicate stuff like photonix core as things like that can't be put in a refiner
Remember to adopt the smallest existing companion
It is in Blegius next to the start system on Tannoy 79/Y6
nah, anything can go in a refiner, it just says "operation unavailable"
Not true
I'm talking about ship technology modules. They don't show up in the list anymore
yes true, I've done it
yes, I know you're talking about that
Sadly its not that simple. I've completely finished every milestone execpt the two "collect bones" ones in phase 4 & 5. Principle field agent and master of bones. I have collected probably 200 fossils trying to do this. Built ever form including finding ones that match. I have got the reassembled milestones too. Its a bug for sure. Even gone to far away to see if it triggers.
Okay, so then how do you get them in a refiner?
afaik they do still appear on the list
I know you said they don't, but the refiner dupe hasn't been patched
There's whole YT videos on the fact that HG patched them to not be able to be put in a refiner anymore and alternative methods to duping them
Then open a ticket. 200 bones and nothing triggers - yeah, time to open a ticket.
You're right. 👍
sorry, one question, just to make sure i got this right: so the tooltip lower right, registers that you have all the bones, or it doesn't? another player had a bit of trouble on this part, and they did manage to find a workaround that worked for them.
Yes. I have cleared all bones from inventory and pinned the milestone so it says at the bottom right collect, 1/1 tail etc.. ive then collected them all and even tried to be in the system the digs in and when I've got all the bones nothing happens. The bottom right doesn't show anything until i get rid of all the bones and start again.
not the same issue as the other player then
And thanks again for all your help btw. 🙂
mhm 🤗 no worries
that said
@swift ember maybe if you want to give this a try, i'll write it down:
- put all bones into a storage container/nutrient processor ingredient storage might work as well.
- watch the tooltip. did it reset as well?
- now taking bones needed from storage, 1 by 1, calmly and slowly, waiting for tooltip to register.
- can you get it all the way to completion this way?
(but i also understand that you might not want to spend more time on this than you already have. )
I'll try it this afternoon. I got a base near dig 4 and 5. Will collect all and put into base storage. Save and all that jazz one by one. Lol.
Is the first dig site the same for everybody ?
On a slope without any jetpack available due to a crashed derelict freighter ?
options/network/disable multiplayer, save, return to mode select, load save again, it will be gone
someone enjoys spawning derelict freighters near planet atmos which messes up gravity for everyone else who has mp enabled

does the value of the freighter you have at the end of the expedition affect the amount of units/nanites you get when you finish the expedition?
just came across a 115mil value a-tier freighter that i couldn't get because i got some 6m freighter earlier
Ok, so the fact that it is on a slope is normal ?
<image>
wow that's actually insanely useful, cheers
normal as in intended by devs for the expedition location? no. the fact that you see it as a slope is just because of the spawned derelict freighter. with mp disabled once you reload from main menu it will be gone
Yeah this drove me bonkers at the first rendezvous. Luckily I realized what was happening pretty quickly, so I just did this and it fixed it. Hate griefers so much. One of these days HG will even turn off PvP by default!
But I’m not putting tons of money on it.
Lol. At dig 4. Put all bones in storage. Pinned principle field agent. Transferred all bones one by one. Bottom right tip vanished. Nothing happened. Put one bone back in storage and the bottom right note came back. 😅 I've submitted the ticket. I can't win. 😅
what platform are you on sorry?
Xbox series x
if you were on pc, there might be something we could do with save editing but in this case we cant use that
I hear ya. Genuinely grateful for all the help/ideas. Proper like this game alot. It won't stop me playing it. Heard a few have had this problem. So maybe they're onto fixing it.
yeah, i've got trust in them
I keep getting rewards from the expedition for ship upgrades. But the ship they give you is pretty awful. How do I get more ship technology slots?
type !faq-livingship in #bot-spam , there's a couple bullets on that topic; after that may want to run !faq-livingfrigate
does the type of skulls/limbs/whatever you use matter for the value of the fossil?
not that i know of, but tbh i wasnt' doing much research on it
the 4 that i crafted hovered around 565k-570kish so i guess not
they were closer to 600k or more for mine, and each fossil is 72k regardless
I cant get that freaking bonefish (for 1 hour straight)
yeah, 72k per bone, fixed - at least, i haven't caught the skull of the cursed doe (a bone that's not available in the shop), but i assume that'll be 72k as well
what planet are you fishing on?
Rivath
try fishing at night time, using no bait or shadow lure, at rendezvous 4 system, the bones waterworld planet there
Its night time
have multiplayer disabled
Also is
yes, but try a different planet, like the one i suggested
Hows the planet and the System named
goto a space station, filter by stations, find the one with rendezvous 4 on the subname, Oishiv system. and planet name is Romseyc I12, it's the only bones planet in that system, can't really miss it
@dawn grove and what system are you in?
pause, discoveries tab
Obarabir V
This isn't a critical milestone for progression, so it can be skipped and retried later. iow, complete it later once you get to dig site 4 system
maybe just luck one way or the other that i had 4 of them within 5k of each other. either way, not really a significant difference if the variation is 50k instead of 5k, i was wondering if there's particular combinations that would be like several times more valuable than some other combinations but it seems that there probably isn't combinations like that
Im seeing fauna that looks very goofy
yeah I don't think there's that much variation to worry about tbh
bk said: goto a space station, filter by stations, find the one with rendezvous 4 on the subname, Oishiv system. and planet name is Romseyc I12, it's the only bones planet in that system, can't really miss it. I sent this to myself in an email lol, so when I play later today I can catch a boney fish:) Thanks bk
🙂 note that this is also on the pinned posts 🙂 this one has lots of tips for other milestones, not just that one <#nms-expedition message>
(ofc we'd only have the station in our teleporter list after we visited it)
Ohh, ok then I already fished in a toxix planet. I think I teleported to a player base. Said Git chur bonefish here lol Bonefishing base 🙂
I would rather catch them finding the AO meself actually. That bonefish base was like cheating, imo
Phase 5 was annoying because HG put us in a system that didn't have one of the memory stones planets.
Luckily @remote thunder I spotted the guide here to go to the starter system tnx
The starter system has bonefish?
Memory stones
Ohhh got it
Was stuck for ages
all rdv systems have relic planets (which therefore have memory stones) actually
I just spent an hour visiting all the planets in rendezvous 5 system and scanner wouldn't activate & none had the broken buildings on them
Bath time fer this old man hehe Thanks all
there is some rng in certain elements (fishing for example, as well as ship/tool/freighter/frigate class & stats), but not a lot
I could be wrong, but afaik, there is at least one planet per system with relics/memory stones
I was lucky with bone fish. I went to the green water world in that system & swam underwater to find an area deeper than 50 (I had 80 deep) then resurfaced and fished for 5mins off ship and boom
Yeah It was well annoying
I noticed quite a few when searching in here that had same problem
All done now though tnx to tips here 👍
any trick to getting 80 fossils?
nah, not really. disable mp, put some music on, a decent planet, goto town for a while. remember that you still have plenty of time left to complete expedition 🙂
starter system frozen biome planet is decent; about inventory, remember that you dont need to hold all 80 bones on you to complete the milestone, but you can use nutrient processor ingredient storage or another ship/freighter storage room or container at a baseto keep bones
And you should be using 5 per rdv for assembling exhibits
rdv?
rendezvous aka dig site
80 is a stupidly large number though
not really meant to do it all in one session i guess
well right
this expedition has made me grouchy. I did the first phase, then had a phone call, came back and I was in space combat. killed the pirates only to find my atlantid drive was damaged.
at the very least, disable mp+pause game before afk
lesson learned
or better, land on space station and stay in your ship then afk
I had an interview phone call.
did you manage to fix atlantid drive already?
no. I decided the best course was to restart the expedition
ah ok
and the expedition has not been fun for me since
and today I'm running into really weird RNG, like asteroid fields that are all gold, plat, and silver, when your pulse engine is empty and you need tritium
remember, refine gold to pyrite
true, but I have NEVER needed to do that before
well, sometimes we got to use what's available 🙂
pyrite is far more efficient than tritium too
Buy a second ship for storage or get the rover. You can also store bones in a nutrient processor.
I just wish the expedition was more fun and less busy work intensive
Well don't worry, when the redux hit's it'll only be like 40 or 50 bones
Read ahead, many milestones can be accomplished at the same time. Like throw pellets, take a photo of 5 animals, and collect faecium.
Check for Nexus or space station missions to collect bones. Then you get paid twice.
that doesn't help me at this point
it's too late for that
You can stop and do a regular save
I was on the way to catch bonefish, found a sentinel ship and quest. My signal says to weak to pick up a mirror sentinel
find a dissonant planet to find dissonance resonators
-#
to view info below, enable embeds
There's a:
- 80% chance that Resonator will be an Inverted Mirror Resonator;
- 20% chance that Resonator will be an Echo Locator Resonator.
Approach and aim at the Resonator to see what it will drop when destroyed.

@warm gyro also, make sure to remember to store atlantid drive from starter ship if you're still using that; the sentinel ship wont have atlantid drive installed
Been way around the planet and have to stop and scan again. I`m on a dissonant, in fact I just took out a sentinel, not a pillar, but where there are 3 nodes to break for materials.
that's a "sentinel pillar" building yeah, sometimes also called "sentinel nest"
Yeah I just wanted this sentinel. Its red lol, but I dont know what class. I have to find a resonator but when I scan it says signal too weak
Let me try
you can select a different mission in the mean time
to stop it from overriding visor into target sweep everytime you use visor
anybody have a hard time catching bonefish. I cant catch any
If I saved at a save loacle I can come back here right? Just like the game dint even spawn a resonator
see image with tips
In transporter I can see it in "saves"?
it's best to just drop and claim a base computer if you want to be sure you can teleport back
I`ll see what planet because it says there is a planet with water for my bonefish exp
Well yeah, drop a pc laffin at myself
@remote thunderThanks for the info..😀
@warm gyro about resonator finding: avoid doing it on planets with lots of mountains. try using your ship to fly low and slow, dissonance resonators appear marked on ship compass too though they are fairly easy to spot.
ofc, when on foot, using visor
Thanks bk.This is almost a barren dissonant planeyt, very mountainous. A radiant shard every several miles it seems. Sentinels are very scaece
yeah, definitely find the resonator on a diff planet then
I`m go to the fishing planet and come back. Or not, there are a million ships out there
yeah, i'd probably just drop and claim a base comp in the system/on the current planet to be able to just teleport back
is there water in a bountiful planet?
Things are still broke for me I've sent in reports I've tagged them on x I'm almost done with the expedition I just haven't had any want to do it.
I decided to do this expedition while saving as most inventory slots upgrade as possible to get them back to my main save. It was really hard. I ended using half of them because the base inventory was really too small.
I tried 25 times in a random planet with a depth of 5Ou + at night without success so I traveled back to the 3 rd rendez-vous system and fished in the toxic world there with deep depth too and the bonefish was my first catch.
All of these attemps were done with bionic lure.

FINALLY about to start the expedition, any up front tips/suggestions? I will be going by @digital fractals list as usual.
Had a bug with the expedition a few weeks ago where it gave me all the milestones for the rendevous points way too early and now I can't complete the expedition
Anyone know if this is fixed (or how to fix it? i'm fluent in save editor)
When you get sidetracked during expeditions
not fixed; can be fixed using a save editor, yes. in broad strokes, these are the steps:
fix commonstatedata/seasonstate/rewardcollected
fix commonstatedata/seasonstate/rendezvousuas
fix commonstatedata/seasonstate/milestonevalues
set expeditioncontext/playerstatedata/missionprogress/<missionid i.e. the relevant milestones> to -1
fix expeditioncontext/playerstatedata/markerstack
feel free to dm
Is there any kind of quest/mission I should do before starting the Relics expedition?
besides in stellar multitudes, i can't really think of anything else; and even that, it's like, heh not mandatory ofc
you probably already have that, so
you're good
Thx, yeah, did that before Titan.
I did that in previous expeditions but now that I have max inventory in primary save, I just use them in expedition, ship/tool ones, however, I certainly save
looks like the current expedition is messed up. can't get to the first field office. the game put a derelict freighter on the spot where the field office ought to be and there's also a player base there...strange stuff. Anyone else having this issue? BTW, I am on Xbox.
If you land on the derelict, then enter it and leave it should put you back out in space.
Saw this happen to a streamer on twitch yesterday, but they ran the whole thing before leaving and once they left it was in deep space again and could continue on
turn off multiplayer, save & reload, that's mainly an issue due to multiplayer
I recommend-- yeah, that
Seems odd but ok I'll try that, thank you!
I just played the entire expedition not in multiplayer, but then turned it back on once I completed all milestones
you're welcome
I played in multiplayer and had no issues, but as always in that mode, YMMV
ymmv?

Your mileage may vary: essentially, you may have varying experiences.
ah
The most precious for me are the freighter ones. They are so hard to get.
yeah, cargo bulkheads can more or less be grinded with derelict freighters and/or freighter rescue missions (where you never take the freighter, only payment) so that makes sense if you can't grind it out like that, I feel like I'm doing fine for storage cause I primarily use storage containers, only frigate fuel, certain lures/bait, certain physical currencies (tainted metal, void motes), and things I eventually want to put into storage containers are in my freighter cargo
@distant parcel it thinks your going downwards so if you land behind the camp, you can just walk straight down. It was annoying to deal with but it's the only time it happens
What is this chat for
I cheesed my way through this with the refiner dup. Easiest way to get the modules for expansions is through the guilds. Or if you get lucky with the space station missons, If you can get your standing up fast enough it's easy, then I found out some of the expedition rewards was some of the things I was grinding for, so that was annoying
yeah that's fair, I don't like duping things when I know I can get them genuinely unless I lost them somehow (for example, refiner being cleared if you warp/teleport/etc)
I've got close to 100 hours on my main save, about 400 all up. And I only just learnt of the dup two days ago lol I think the biggest thing I've dupped is nanites
Nanites are pretty easily obtainable tho, I got the majority of the 100,000+ (325000 in my entire save) from refining passively lol
I FINALLY CAUGHT THAT DARNED BONEFISH
They just HAVE to put fishing in every expedition now lol.
So, how do I tell when it’s night or day again? The sky isn’t consistent enough, and the clock on the visor is analog i think?
the visor will tell you
nah, digital, aim visor at the sky for example, then look on your right hand side
But why not duplicate nanites and make 100k In ten mins lol
with save editing, I could do it in 1 minute, but I don't, I have restraint, and love for the game in the way I can do some things on my own
Yea I get what you mean, like I said I have about 300 hours all up and all that was done without glitches. Other then selling a ridiculous amount of cobalt and then buying it back
I have more than 400 hours on my main save iirc, and 300+ were done without save editing or dupes lol
Holy crap, I just looked and I have 947 hours. I think that's the most of any game I've played on Steam. NMS is a great zen game, wonderful for just puttering around and exploring. I'm in a beta test for an upcoming high-profile title and I've already got 400 hours into it, which puts it in the top 10 easy.
The only save editing I've ever done is recovery from Omega issues transferring back (I wanted to preserve my save beacons, and it trashed my discoveries list), and to clean up my discoveries lists a couple other times.
The only duping I've done is to create multiple ship parts for experimenting, and maybe tainted metal for quickly generating nanites on expeditions to clone my multitool and ship.
I dupe to streamline finding sentinel ships
Agreed
😅 i know of a few that would "put me to shame"
Lol... got me beat by like 40 hours on Steam.
I better get playing!
Possibly unhealthy
😄
I'm on my treadmill right now though to mitigate some of this sitting damage
I almost face planted trying to fight sentinels on here. Can't image what I'd do to myself if I tried VR
😅
how much nanites does it cvost to clone a ship?
1400 iirc
To clone into or out of Expedition it is based on the class of the ship. My S-Class costs 2800 Nanites.
To purchase from Quicksilver NPC it is usually 1400.
ty
This is actually an interesting thing tho, cause my steam hours say this but my game files are only about 400 hours on main save, and a couple hours on a creative save, I know I do sometimes idle on main screen, but do expeditions not add to time played properly?
do expeditions not add to time played properly?
Good theory. There are lots of things it doesn't move back/add to, so that could be it. I definitely trust Steam's logic more than HG's
I don’t trust Steam fully because idling on title screen will add time played, even when not in a save, whereas HG counts only in a save
If the game's open, I get credit for playing it, that's the rules.
I have 15,000 hours in an idle game, lol.
Fair

Can someone please give me their excess bionic bait. I’ve been trying to get this bonefish for over 7 HOURS. I’m in the right plannet, at the correct depth. Someone fishing right next to me go the bonefish but for some reason I can’t get it
I’ve gone through all the bionic bait, hundreds of spicy chum, and god knows how many mealworms and other fish
At this point I need a hero
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.
- 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.
i got mine first cast in the bones waterworld planet in rdv4, fwiw
I have already completed all the other quests
side note: i'd strongly recommend having multiplayer disabled.
teleport back?
Yup
rendezvous numbers are listed below space station names in the teleporter list
I teleported to Ligart prime
I know
i personally didn't have any luck there
Where do you recommend?
i know of several other players who did, and some who didn't
For example, some players have had luck in Dig Site 4 system, on the waterworld bones planet there, Romseyc I12.
but were you using any bait?
Yes
fishing at night time?
Correct
don't use bait, or use shadow lure.
because whispering bonefish only spaws night time, therefore, shadow lure
have mp disabled
Y mp disabled?
to ensure there's no weirdness going on
No Man's Sky is in amazing shape right now.
No man, sky
I cant do any of the field agent missions even though i already went to all the digsites, I've also done majority of the expedition already except for 2-3 objectives. Help please?
Do you have the mission selected in Options Menu> Log tab? If so, try disabling Multiplayer, creating a Restore Point and quitting the game. Load it up again and see if that helps.
i already tried this
Did your Rendezvous missions auto-complete?
no
yes
i probably need to restart dont I
Ye, I don't know how to get around that issue... Sorry. 😢
thanks for telling me though
i was about to spend like 10 hours more trying to find a fix
I've started playing Expeditions with Multiplayer Disabled because of these crazy issues. It seems to help.
Did you speak with the NPCs in the dig sites ?
The field agent missions only requires you to have enough of each type of bones.
Typically 2 legs, 1 spine, 1 tail, 1 skull.
If you have these they should auto complete once selected after you speak to the dig site NPC.
Then you need to craft your own display, select the bones and craft the complete skeleton display
You can just dig a lot of bones at once and do all these missions without any further digging
I tend to love the third RDV system for that as the ice cold planet there has fossile beds with up to ten bones at once
Go it first catch on the 3rd RDV system toxic planet with 56 u depth with a bionic lure after trying without success on deep depth at night on a random planet

See the grey ones
yes
this quest tells me to feed animals for them to produce dung but ive fed them atleast 50 pellets and i dont gen nothing what should i do?
Usually just wait
Are there predators around when you feed? Or are you using your multitool to mine/attack anything? Those will stop fauna from dropping dung
i was collecting some carbon thats why
im finally done now tho
with the full expedition
For some reason the fauna can be fickle about pooping if you do certain things around them

Is there a good planet to do The Archaeologist milestone on without getting harassed by sentinels? I only have 25/80
Starter system has plenty of bones
Thanks I just found Ijona 86/S5 in Adrielde as well but I'll head to starter system after
Any system and then use charts I guess? You can disable sentinels by killing them
killing them brings more. unless you really want to stick around and kill 5 waves. Ignoring them is best. the initial aggro is quite ineffective and if you get what you are looking for then move off they have trouble following then de-aggro
what's the recipe for the bones soup? I tried every combination
solved
How long do they usually wait before releasing a new expedition after one finishes?
What is it?
Varies
Been months, been the next day, been right after
i didn't know the recipe to complete the Hearty Stock milestone
but gunter helped
Nice
Fair enough thank you 😊

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.
To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future
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 (
) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

How long did this one take for yall
as usual, a few hours
you got this, don't worry
Too long
Lucky that bk helped me out
around 3-4 hours
I got a problem with the Snapshot in Time Milestone. Found 5 creatures, grouped them up together and now I gotta take a photo. I'm on ps4 so I'd expect it would be the Share button, but it doesn't work
see this
How do I finish the step where you have to take a pic of 5 ground animals
Did that multiple times and nothing
Don't mine whilst doing so and make sure there's no predators around
They have to be visible to the camera. If they’re partially blocking each other it won’t count
Just drop some food pellets and snap until it completes
exactly, game has to be able to pick out the 5 fauna - and fauna can't be burrowers either

I skipped that world
ah can I just go grab bones elsewhere then?
Yee
Wish I hadn't sold my spares, then
Didn't realize you could use bones from the other planets
Hi! I didn't started the expedition yet, is it still possible to finish it on time? Even if I'm pretty slow at expeditions? 😅
go to other systems for the bones
yes, I'm also slow at expeditions and I still completed over a few days
Ah perfect! Thanks! I will start tomorrow

I'm having issues finding the bonefish
Does it actually need to say toxic planet?
Any planet with water at night
Make sure it's atleast 50 deep
Shadow lures help too
<also see image>
where can i find the memory stones?
any ruin world (e.g. starter planet), use visor to look for memory stone icon
(look for a planet with one of these synonyms in beige)
bk dropping knowledge 
Always
I love it
thank you very much👍
When I caught bonefish it was legendary
that's likely the toxic version
Chat how do i cook bone broth
I have the bone broth but it's not letting me give it to Cronus
For that milestone I just gave him a bone (fossil) I had dug up and the milestone completed.
iirc I gave him softened marrow and that was it

wierd

omg
sorry i cant read ive been going through gauntlet tests 😭😭 thank you
cant believe my eyes glossed over that
This bonefish bit is getting on my last nerve.
<image>
i'd recommend having multiplayer disabled (if you have it enabled, disable it in game options/network, then save, and reload from mode select menu
It took me forever to also get my fish. I was able to get the whispering one at night in deep waters after spamming it.
Do we know what the next expedition will be?
So in Phase 4 do you have to dive all the way down to the bottom of that water palnet?
No, you can get the bones on any other planet that has them.
On my last run of the Expedition I bought the blueprint for the Nutrient Processor, collected the 80 bones for the milestone, and just stored them in the Nutrient Processor.
Then when I arrived at a Rendezvous I pulled out the necessary bones and turned it in right away without having to leave and go get more bones... Lol

Asking for a bit of help, is this supposed to happen?
I landed at a dig site next to a derelict freighter, and the entire dog site is skewed, like those Minecraft videos where the world is turned vertical?
That’s likely from multiplayer issues, disable it, save & reload
Okay thank you
OK, that is cool idea! Thank you for sharing

question phase 3: snapshot in time, which planet best for this? I mean in which rendezvous? 1, 2 or 3?
Ive been trying to find a suit planet, but still cannot find one yet
any that has ground animals, which at least one planet on every rdv system does
thanks
Hello, I have a question, help me, we want the StarbornRunner ship?
I am Deaf
my code ZRT3-SK3R-CZDPJ
You’ll want to ask in the relevant channel #nms-lfg-or-trades
However I am happy to deliver the ship to you, dm me
Been poop hunting all day. Half way done. At least it beats trying to catch that damned bone fish
Throw down pellets.
was able to do it in a few minutes on this moon - threw a creature pellet on the ground next to a group of animals (quick menu/creatures/pellet), didn't harvest them, didn't mine or shoot things, just idled
didnt take long at all
I'm feeding the buggers but they just pack it in and wander off. Except one little guy who's got the squits so I'm just turning his liver to paté for poop
btw, that moon is in rendezvous 5
Cheers. Got there in the end, at the rdv5 camp with one plucky, tummy bugged stego chappie
glad to hear it 🙂
In case anyone is wondering I did not tilt the camera the derelict freighter was causing a weird gravity anomaly
First dig site lol
There's a command but I can't remember what it is. You have about a week and half left
also thanks i forgot to say sorry
No worries

What some one told me, disconnect network mode, and the bonefish should appear somewhat easily.
i got it like 5 minutes ago but thanks
Did you go through all your bionic lures before you caught it?
I feel like I've caught everything but this stupid fish
see these tips:
disable mp
Shadow lures did the trick. Must be less rng list to roll through for getting the whispering bonefish

Is that the fossil one?
yep
6week yep
Bk when does the New one come out if we know?
nope, we don't know when the next is coming
Do we have an idea what kind it will be or its just a surprise when it drops?
well, might be that an update drops before exp18 is about to end to add exp19 files, and then they release exp19 the day after finishing exp18 - but it could also be a week from then, we don't know
Its always close to eachother?
not always; sometimes up to a couple months
Aslo bk i started the playtrough on the expedition wich means i started off in more populated systems is there a way to get alot further away?
go through a couple black holes, then take 2 or 3 1000LY warps (or do that distance with more warps if needed), up/down/to a side of the last black hole exit system
Okay yeah i didnt follow that😭
Also im on vacation rn so cant go on my pc
basically, you goto polo in the anomaly, ask him for coordinates to a black hole system, you go through the black hole, you end up in a system far away
Ohh
When
Im back
Ill prob ask furthee
I really am too braindead for this typa game
All i can is just shoot shit
always feel free to ask yep
is there a command to see how many days remain for an expedition?

Anyone else having issues getting this stupid bonefish?
Ive been fishing for like 2 hours and got nothing
it's rng based, check pins for tips
I have done and im in deep water on toxic planet and getting nothing
Getting bored might try again later
you can come back to it later, yes
some people had taken hours, some had it in like 10 catches or less
Does the bionic lure help in catching a bonefish?
Yes
Thanks 👍🙏
If on a Toxic planet yes, but any other water planet it won't help because the rare bonefish is limited to Toxic planets. Even if fishing on a Toxic planet switch to the Shadow Lure at night for a chance to catch the Uncommon bonefish.
It could still help, just not as much (or: the cost of bionic lures isn't justified here)
From my experience catching all the legendaries, the bionic lures decrease significantly the chances of getting C-class fish; most of the time you'll be catching either B or A class, which helps with the bone fish regardless of environment / biome
(Sorry, my english brain isn't working properly today, expect lots of editions to my messages lol)
I caught a lot of bone fishes by accident while fishing in many different places using bionic lures (not in the expedition though -- in the expedition I followed the pins and was kinda lucky, the fish appeared relatively quickly)
Anyone else having problems with the mission to take pictures of ground animals, all the other missions I've had no problem with but that one just want work
I did for a bit, but what helped me was using food pellets to get them to follow me/ gather them together. also some planets are more likely to have herds of animals.
Wait am I supposed to be taking a picture of 5 animals in 1 picture?
yes one picture with 5 or more animals in it
I thought i was taking pictures of 5 different ground animals, that makes sense on why it ain't working
Thank you
no roles beyond expedition 16 (Cursed), only the generalized expedition role (expeditionist)
Oh. So they stopped making roles for them?
correct
I see. Well, now I now 😅
16 is a nice number to stop.
So for every expedition i do, i like to collect ships and break down ships to make a new one that i can take back into my big save as a little trophy of the expedition. Im having trouble breaking haulers down at the minute and wondered if anyone else was having this issue?
what sort of issue, can you elaborate a little bit more?
It keeps telling me i cant break it down for parts, ive tried multiple different haulers aswell and they all say i cant break down for parts
can you aim visor at one of these ships, and confirm that it says "hauler" (instead of "shuttle" like this image)?
I will have a look next time im in the space station
No doubt that would be the issue and if that works then thank you 🙂
all good, feel free to ping back if needed 🙂
Quick question, is there a trick to taking a photograph of 5 land creatures? I’m on the expedition on the planet that has the 3rd camp, and I have a few of these eye stalk creatures as well as a hostile one, and it’s not counting it
How many days left?
Never mind
9 days.
If you look at the NMS discord, under EVENTS the expedition is listed as a calendar item so you can always check! That’s how I was able to look
Where would one find a toxic planet to catch a bonefish?
I see
soooo, i need help on how to get the annoying fish
i tried to catch it but couldnt do it
check the tips on this image:
i saw
I haven't done the previous 17 exhibitions, I am wondering if there is a way I can do them.
Purple systems, toxic water planet, also known as waterlocked planets.
every year at the end of the year they replay the 4 from the current year
so you can only replay the 4 that've happened in a year
Okay, kinda sucks that we can't do exbeditions from number 1.
I only started no man's sky 2 months ago and missed all of the exhibitions except for the relics one which I finished yesterday
might change in the future, and if you're really desperate you can look into a save editor
I did google it and apparently there was somthing like that, I tried it but it didn't work especially because for some reason my game files don't have a ID cache folder
what launcher are you on?
Steam
that's weird, usually xbox launcher hides some files
I play PC on Steam
