nms-expedition

[novel idol]

new save

is that why

someone told me to do it from a new save

[vapid heron]

You're only really missing at chance at stuff you'd get through normal play, albeit accelerated, no biggy

[woeful niche]

I believe so

[fringe star]

Nothing to transfer then? Should have coverted your expedition save to a main save

[novel idol]

Can i start the expedition again on my other save file?

[fringe star]

I think so

[vapid heron]

Yep

[woeful niche]

Not sure. Try it.

[novel idol]

If thats the case i wasted like 5 h ours LMAO

[vapid heron]

Can only do it once per save file, can do expedition many times over many saves

[woeful niche]

At least now you know esactly what to bring

[indigo falcon]

you can start the expedition once on any save file, and you can always start it from a new save, if you have a slot open

[novel idol]

all guides i read said to start a new save and do it and that everything would transfer to the other save

so i should do it on my main save file then

[fringe star]

No reason not to

[woeful niche]

Go to the expedition terminal in the anomaly

[vapid heron]

The rewards are available to all save files

[woeful niche]

in your old save

[novel idol]

I get the option to take things from my main save into the expedition on my main save

[vapid heron]

The item transfer would be for the save file you convert to from an expedition

[visual plank]

Does the Hitchhiker goal give any permanent (claimable on other saves) rewards?

[novel idol]

ahh okay i get it now

[vapid heron]

No the quicksilver goes to the save file you entered from or get converted to

[potent moat]

So you arent able to transfer items from your expidition save to your main save?

[novel idol]

this is a good sign, right?

[vapid heron]

No between save files unless you have a cooperative friend

*not

[novel idol]

here goes another 5 hours of my life LMAO

[vapid heron]

You'll go much quicker with knowing what and where to go

[fringe star]

You can if you started the expedition from your main save

[potent moat]

i didnt because im an idiot

[fringe star]

There are "ways" to do it

[soft latch]

Anyone need a Hitchhike??

[stark cedar]

How can I construct a base computer in the expedition? Do I have to finish the exp first?

[fringe star]

No, as long as you have the materials

[fervent umbra]

Is there any way to get non-Corvette items out of the workshop cache? I'm on the expedition and I somehow got some silver, gold, and a hermetic seal in the workshop cache and when I open it up those three items are grayed out so I can't remove them. I think it must have happened when I was editing my Corvette and I removed one of the additions you can add like the mission radar or the nutrient processor.

[fringe star]

I have that problem on my main save

[elder needle]

hey, do you get to keep your corvette after the end of the mission and when you replicate it does it keep the tec that you installed on it?

[fringe star]

You keep tech that is installed everything else (cargo) is lost

[elder needle]

what about the components in your corvette part storage?

[soft latch]

I need a hitchhiker please 🙏

[fringe star]

Gone

[elder needle]

rip

thanks

[fringe star]

Make a borg ship with everything

[buoyant herald]

makes sense

[elder needle]

hahaha

[fringe star]

No need for symmetry in space

[buoyant herald]

i take it expedition items gained are also lost?

[fringe star]

If you started from your main save you can transfer a limited number to it

[buoyant herald]

ok, well i dont see an option for that, but then again, im not done yet so...

[fringe star]

You do it at the anomaly

at the end of the expedition

[buoyant herald]

the menu i see at the anomaly is greyed out

unless i can only choose when i try to go back

[fringe star]

Yes, only at the end

[buoyant herald]

i see

thanks

[vale kayak]

Hop on other traveller's corvette? impossible cos I turned off MP

only one challenge left but I didn't care about rewards

okay figured it out to end early

Expedition completed! lets go 😄

[smoky sable]

exiting pulse after having activated the anomaly detector I got sent me through a black hole 1mil Ly from the second rendezvous, portaling is the fastest option here?

[frozen laurel]

use a teleporter at a space station or the anomaly back to a previous expedition space station.

[smoky sable]

oh that's an option, sweet, completely forgot about previous stations

[flat bough]

This game is still very buggy

My game crashed 7 times since I began playing, 4 hours ago

And I fell through the anomaly and my ship a bunch of times

Got literally thrown on a whole other planet by collision bugs

Honestly it's fun, except the bugs

And doing an expedition makes me feel like I have a goal again

[orchid karma]

This expedition is hard

[frozen laurel]

Which mission is giving you issues?

[orchid karma]

I had my game crash 3 times in a row while loading the game, I had to restart console

[main cairn]

The bugs are part of the fun 😃

[solemn bane]

Do you have multiplayer off? If not try turning it off.

[orchid karma]

Yeah i turned it off

[smoky sable]

no bugs except two corvette-related ones for me, PC, 100h save

[orchid karma]

Taking off in my ship takes awhile, I keep having to hold square over and over

[solemn bane]

I turned MP on to do my weekly quest (for some reason it wouldn't work without it) and instantly had all sorts of bugs hit me, lol.

[flat bough]

All of them hon

[solemn bane]

Are you landing your ship? If so, don't ever do that again. Just teleport down.

[flat bough]

I stopped landing my ship and I like multiplayer

Part of the fun

[glossy swan]

Im sure this has been asked but this thread is MASSIVE. I have items that are stuck in the corvette overflow. I think they were considered inside the storage pods i placed and now i can't get them back out.

[smoky sable]

I only wasn't able to land the corvette once for some reason, and after not being able to land on a freighter and ending up being stuck, I decided I'm going to continue tomorrow

[frozen laurel]

Hover and teleport down is so nice.

[flat bough]

I literally just found a Corvette stopped mid air, stopped mine too, boarded the guy, and sat with him I'm silence looking at the beautiful weather

I love multiplayer in this game

[upper merlin]

Anyone know where the expedition person is located for the weekend quicksilver mission? I have been unable to find them and no indicators. Game has crashed on 2 planets specifically too.

[solemn bane]

I haven't actually seen a resolution to this issue so far. You may want to search for keywords and see what you find, but yeah there will be a lot to dig through.

[flat bough]

Sad that it's not well optimized and you don't have much options, we don't even have text chat in xbox

[frozen laurel]

don't use a corvette, disable multiplayer for it. I warpped to the next system and when I warpped back in the marker appeared.

[glossy swan]

Thank you for the prompt reply! ❤️ I assume they are gone but i wanted to check. They were all good X-mods i wanted to bring back 8. (

[wintry aspen]

I was hoping to get back to some of the systems and bases once I finished expedition, but not sure how to find them (not in recents or favorites)

[solemn bane]

This is the same issue I had. I had to leave the mission, turn multiplayer ON, restart my game, then get the quest again.

It took me three or four tries for the marker to finally show up.

[frozen laurel]

Thier portal coords are in the Pins here.

[wintry aspen]

I stuck literally 100 items on my corvette and brought most over that way, did lose a few

[upper merlin]

Gotcha. Yeah it's been a bit odd.

[solemn bane]

Best way to "bookmark" a system is to build a base there. You can also take screenshots with the glyphs.

[wintry aspen]

how do I find them... sorry I'm still pretty new to this

I've done the one portal quest but haven't found others or really got the hang of it yet... I think I'm missing a couple quests. Haven't finished Atlas thread

[frozen laurel]

Pins are the top right of desktop discord. Mobile click on the channel name, then pins.

[orchid karma]

How do I teleport back to my ship

[wintry aspen]

a lot of what I wanted to get back to were really cool bases, so I couldn't build. A lot of the fun of this expedition wasexploring a lot of folks bases set up on the fly for it.

[frozen laurel]

If you left it in a hover, there's a short range teleporter below it.

[solemn bane]

@'d you in #bot-spam

[wintry aspen]

ooooh... I did not know. Thanks!

[ancient grove]

Howdy fellers

[fickle otter]

Can someone help me with the hitchhiker mission please? My friendcode is A7FJ-WQ4G-B7PQ8

[wintry aspen]

thanks

[solemn bane]

My verbal help: You can just jump on someone's ship in a space station or whatever. Keep in mind it's a pain in the ass for a lot of people to do, the reward isn't that great, and it's optional so you can skip it if it's giving you a hard time.

[fickle otter]

Ok, thanks!

[vernal silo]

why is getting level 5 sentinels such a pain

[flat bough]

Because they hate getting near you

[vernal silo]

got to level 4 but then there were 2 that just flew straight up and i coulding kill them 😭

[flat bough]

Mine just like to spawn miles away

[heavy sapphire]

I went and teleported to a base someone made right on one. Done.

[orchid karma]

Which mods increase manueverability?

[patent hill]

And there we have it folks jobs done. Overall decent but had some more bugs and glitches than usual, which I’m just putting down to needing fine tuned

[heavy sapphire]

Yeah waiting for HG to fix the game so I can take a ride with someone and not have it count and kicked out into space.

[orchid karma]

What mods Increase corvette manueverability

[patent hill]

Ooh it’s good to know it’s not just me having issues with that may need to report it

[solemn bane]

You can dig up the Salvage crates like you did in an earlier mission, they have a chance of dropping Sentinel Boundary Maps, which you can use to find a pillar and shut them down. You can also ask for one at the Anomaly, etc.

[dark carbon]

i managed to trap a sentinel on my ship lol

[orchid karma]

Can anyone help me please

[solemn bane]

The ones that make flames shoot out the back of your ship

[orchid karma]

One of my tasks is to increase manueverability but it says any thrusters i add is cosmetic only

[solemn bane]

Add them anyway.

[frank yarrow]

^

Im stuck on the under their noses mission. I've never smuggled

[solemn bane]

For Under Their Noses just buy ALL of the Illegal Black Market Goods from the Contraband Agent aboard a pirate system's space station. Then, go to a non-pirate system and sell everything you bought at their space station.

[frank yarrow]

Oh cool thats not too bad! Just gotta find a pirate system 😄

Thank you

[orchid karma]

Damn this ship is ugly af

[solemn bane]

Done the expedition three times and forced myself to use every piece I found/missions gave me each time. The results were flying heaps of junk. I kinda love doing it.

I'mma make a long one next

[vernal silo]

this game is truly something

[balmy frost]

So I started the expedition but I think I'm already stuck. I need chromatic metal to make the orbital teleporter thing but I can't make a refinier

[vernal silo]

after killing the big guy too

[alpine dawn]

I’m on switch 2 how can I play online?

[solemn bane]

Can't place it? Report the base in the quick menu.

[vernal silo]

ima try this

[balmy frost]

Oh wait yeah I'm so dumb

[devout echo]

Look in either your suit or the crashed ship and see if there is something you can dismantle to get your chromatic metal.

[balmy frost]

I guess I was on someone's base

Idk

[dapper sorrel]

doh. When I ended the expedition I forgot to bring the tech modules from the corvette. Was there anything too amazing I am not missing out on?

[solemn bane]

Yeah people are trolling very, very hard in this expedition

[solemn bane]

You can copy your corvette to your main save at the expedition terminal

[dapper sorrel]

I did that, paid nanites, and all the modules are gone

[solemn bane]

They're there. They just don't show up in the copy interface.

[dapper sorrel]

oh? I logged out after... that's good if true. Was full up

[solemn bane]

I'd call it a bug. The ones that are there due to corvette parts don't show up in the copy interface, but they are there once the game processes all the parts again.

[knotty vigil]

Anyone able to help me with the One, Zero expedition milestone? Having a real hard time doing it and the optional resistance one

[solemn bane]

If you are having trouble with One, Zero, you can keep mining Salvageable Scrap, they have a chance to drop a Sentinel Boundary Map you can use to find a pillar and disable the sentinels.

[lavish karma]

got to the final wave of a sentinel fight while surviving by a thread. Took out one of the walkers and pursued the final drones. Said drones had for some dumb reason decided to fly to Narnia and the sentinel force retreated, forcing me to start all over again. 😤

The sentinels are getting smarter folks

[wintry aspen]

I should mention that while I had a huge amount of trouble with "module not connected" in doing the expedition, the system gave me no trouble at all adding 100 parts onto my corvette at the end. (Going to try to take it apart and make it useful again tonight... right now it's basically Howl's Moving Corvette.)

[knotty vigil]

Oh okay, thank you

[devout echo]

That's on my todo for today also.

[dapper sorrel]

Ahh yeah had a look. What a relief 🙂

[foggy sage]

Why is it, that my shitty Multi tool can scan across a plent to find parts for a corvette. But... My 25,000,000 unit ship that can cross lightyears and read you the funnies on a different planet, cant do the same job?

Sense made=ZERO

[orchid karma]

For the harmonic interface what glyphs should I enter

[thin tangle]

Just as a pointer, if Rendezvous 5 is the Okyotang V system, it's a VERY easy direlict freighter spawn.

[solemn bane]

Nice thing is with corvettes you can scan from your ship. And once you have them marked you can just shoot them from your ship with the photon cannon. (You can only use the regular multitool scanner from the ship, not the quest scanner, though)

[foggy sage]

i already completed the expedition. Im in a solo hardcore game now. Just wondering why i cant scan parts down from my fighter.

maybe i should trigger the expedition again, just to get the basic Corvette bits.

[fringe star]

If you have the money you can buy them

[foggy sage]

Hmmm where are they sold?

i never bothered to look.

[thick umbra]

At Resist 1 ... Iirc .. players have a base near a Sentinel Pillar... visit such a base and shut down the sentinels at the terminal of that Pillar

[mystic bridge]

Rand four also got derelict spawn near station

[orchid karma]

Im on a dissonance planet, how exactly do I find corrupted sentinels

[thick umbra]

take one of the gravatino balls

[final fossil]

Why can’t I cook anything using the nutrient processor on my corvette?

[alpine dawn]

How do I play online on switch 2

I tried everything

[solemn bane]

Turn multiplayer off and restart your game. After that you need to manually put a fish in one of the slots and cook it.

[solemn bane]

Not out on switch yet

[final fossil]

Gotcha, thanks man

[mystic bridge]

question, what do I inherit from expedition run on main run?

[solemn bane]

Stuff you put in the terminal, you can copy your active ship and multi-tool afterwards, you keep any bases you make and you keep your units, nanites and quicksilver (plus you get a bunch of units and nanites for performing certain tasks). Oh, also any unlocks you earned (account-wide).

[willow forge]

Expedition was easy but peak btw

Thank you Gunter

[swift anvil]

anyone feel like letting me tag along in their corvette for the milestone? been asking in stations and anomoly but noone responds

[frank yarrow]

I cant get 5 waves of sentinels. They fly off too far from me and reset

[red ingot]

Is this hitchiker thing something you do at the end?

[swift anvil]

optional milestone

phase 4

[red ingot]

Got it. I'm just finishing ph 3 now

[random canopy]

Are there any "game breaking" bugs in the game/expedition right now that we know of? Specifically on Xbox. I'm thinking of starting the expedition soon but not sure if anything bad is happening.

I typically wait a week or 2 for patches

[torpid oracle]

It's a bug that'll be fixed in the next patch

[swift anvil]

nothing gamebreaking so far but the vettes dont load a lot of the time for me, and when they do they load sideways or phases into other peoples vettes.

[torpid oracle]

Xbox is prone to more crashes, issues with the photo milestone, and in general everyone is having issues with sentinels

MP being turned off helps with everything

[random canopy]

Ah I see. Thanks. I'll continue to wait for patches.

[torpid oracle]

Next patch should help a lot

[solemn bane]

If you are having trouble with One, Zero, you can keep mining Salvageable Scrap, they have a chance to drop a Sentinel Boundary Map you can use to find a pillar and disable the sentinels.

[frank yarrow]

Oh neat thank you

[swift anvil]

dang i didnt know all the platforms didnt have the expedition yet. no wonder im not seeing many people. that and a lot of people have multiplayer off due to bugs

[torpid oracle]

You should definitely still be seeing people- like every checkpoint station is still congested enough that you can't land in them in MP

[swift anvil]

lots of open pads and when i do see people multiple ships land on the same pad, and a lot of peoples ships only partially load or are invisible. i put a ticket in for it

[frank yarrow]

Salvagable container and salvagable scrap the same thing?

[torpid oracle]

No, but the containers still have a chance for corvettes parts I believe

In general, you're looking for the scrap for the expedition

[frank yarrow]

Im going for the Sentinel Boundary Map

[torpid oracle]

Yeah, look for the scrap

[frank yarrow]

Sweet thanks!

[solemn bane]

Wait, they're not the same thing?

[torpid oracle]

The containers are from the crashed freighters, no?

Am I misremembering?

[solemn bane]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Salvage_Container

[torpid oracle]

Oh, I stand corrected, my bad. They are basically the same thing I guess?
I was thinking of crashed freighters having the salvage containers

[frank yarrow]

No worries at all!

[red ingot]

So with the Advance: move (install additional thrusters), I only ended up with 5/6 through rewards. Do you buy another? It says any addtl engines will be for cosmetics only.

[elder kestrel]

Hello there. This is my first expedition in the game, but I started it from an old save file and have already completed it. Please advise, would it be best to finish it now or continue and complete it later? Will I gain more profit if I continue playing the expedition?

[torpid oracle]

If, for whatever reason, you didn't get the modules you needed, then yeah, just buy or salvage what you need left

[torpid oracle]

If you've already completed this expedition then there isn't more rewards to get, unless you missed the optional missions

[elder kestrel]

thx

[red ingot]

Thanks - will continue and salvage

[fresh barn]

can you even board freighter/capital ships from corvette? im getting into these pirate attacks on freighter but no idea how to get in to get the reward

[solemn bane]

Yeah just fly near the entrance and you'll dock, then use the teleporter button on the left

[fresh barn]

ok had no idea there was a teleport button

[solemn bane]

Now that you do, you'll never have to land your ship again. Just get near ground and teleport down. It's a real game changer.

[fresh barn]

nice

[lament oyster]

I've been doing the expedition on a separate save. All the extra slots that are given to several inventories won't transfer back to main save I suppose? 🧐

[devout echo]

If you don't use them you can bring them back in raw form.

[solemn bane]

If you start the expedition on a new save (from the new game screen), nothing goes to your other saves aside from the account-wide unlocks from phase rewards. You can transfer items via a friend holding your stuff.

[fresh barn]

but you can bring the freighter back to main game right?

[lament oyster]

I've tried refusing to apply them sometimes, but I don't think I got an item instead

[solemn bane]

If you start the expedition from the expedition terminal (using an existing save), you can transfer stuff back to the primary save via the terminal.

[lament oyster]

Oh interesting

[rocky fern]

gross

[fresh barn]

yeah i entered from an existing save, copying multitool etc. I haven't done much on my freighter in main save game, so i'd prefer to focus/create it in expedition then transfer it back if possible

[limpid inlet]

Are there dissonant planets after the 4th rendezvous? Because I already signed the 4th rend but I still miss the dissonant thing from phase 3

[elder frigate]

stuck on phase 4, suddenly I can't find a pirate station

[swift anvil]

gotta find a conflict scanner.

[limpid inlet]

Nvm "Aimo VIII" says Dissonance Detected I assume it's good?

[swift anvil]

im stuck on it too cant get a sentinel brain to drop to craft it

[quasi salmon]

one of the mission rewards is a conflict scanner

[solemn bane]

RIP to those who sold the brain the reward gave you

[quasi salmon]

One of the mission rewards is also a sentinel brain

[red ingot]

Really? I just bought the blueprint 🙂

[swift anvil]

yea i acccidentally sold the brain

i didnt realize it was a reward

[keen zephyr]

On that dissonant planet, I followed the spike to a class S, thinking, quick cash, did all the pre-reqs, hyaline done, and get back to teh ship? NOPE. not on this expedition.

:?

[frank yarrow]

Im at a pirate station

[elder frigate]

my vette doesn't have enough tech slots to place it. Don't have the nanites to upgrade either. Guess i can always just gut my ship to make room

[keen zephyr]

I feel like corvette mods should be different than Tech slots

[solemn bane]

Or just temporarily store one tech module you installed

[elder frigate]

has anyone upgraded their vette durring the expedition?

or only after

[devout echo]

i'm wishing I could build on the corvette on the fly.

[limpid inlet]

Don't you have to do it do complete the phases? Or are you talking about a different kind of upgrade?

[elder frigate]

I meants upgrading the class of the vette, like from C to B etc

[torpid oracle]

Yeah, I thought that was one of the objectives. I definitely did it during the expedition regardless though

[elder frigate]

I don't think it necessary to complete the exhibition. I haven't had to do it during any of the phases so far and I'm pretty much done

[torpid oracle]

I guess it's not, from a glance at the missions

[elder frigate]

just need to smuggle some stuff and engage the emergency warp

[fading bison]

Anyone else new Rock trails from the expedition reward make a water wet sound ? When activated

[elder frigate]

I ironically finished phase 5 ahead of phase 4

[torpid oracle]

Finishing phases ahead of others isn't uncommon, phases 3 and 4 are usually the last ones for me to complete in a lot of expeditions just bc of timegated milestones

[swift anvil]

would be nice to have a vehicle bay in our corvettes so when we land we can unload our vehicles

[torpid oracle]

send a suggestion

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[elder frigate]

the minataur would have been very helpful for those of us soloing. Although that's a whole other time sync to unlock

[torpid oracle]

What for? I never once wished I had a Minotaur in this expedition

[swift anvil]

done

[elder frigate]

I enjoyed having the big guy around stomping things and helping out with the sentinals

[dire mirage]

uh. Anybody else not able to do the Wild Things milestone? I'm on a dissonant planet, and scanning animals just doesn't count?

[torpid oracle]

Try restarting your game, or going to another planet/system. Regardless, it's worth submitting a bug report

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[dire mirage]

restarted the game, no dice

[torpid oracle]

If another planet/system doesn't work, then report and you may have to wait until the next patch. My gut says it'll be out tomorrow, or the day after, but I'm no dev and do not know for sure.

[fading bison]

I’m hooked on these expeditions!! Did the 1st one then 19 now I love the corvettes! And now just started ex 2!!

[swift anvil]

would be nice if theyd add a way to do the expeditions anytime we want, like a mission chain to unlock each or something.

just lucky im off work right now or i wouldnt be able to play much

[fading bison]

Right! If all it is , is changing the Seasonla event.Jsn to get an old expedition you would think they could do that in game

[elder frigate]

this will be my first exhibition ever completed once I smuggle these goods. Just wondering what happens once I'm done

[fading bison]

This game has ruined me lol… wasn’t interested much but thought what the heck try and see what their game design and engine feels like for Light no fire… 300 hours later I can’t stop !! It’s amazing

[fading bison]

You can save about 6-8 technologies

And I think 16-20 square worth of goodies .. the rest is gone.. but it does cash us out I.e sells everything

[elder frigate]

oh man... so when I start a new normal game, I get to keep certain things?

[fading bison]

Just what you can put in the cashe at the anomaly when you exit.

And the “main” expedition rewards can also be redeemed at the quick silver person

There is a website if on PC you can play old expeditions too!! And get those rewards

[swift anvil]

and what are the main rewards? isnt it unique corvette parts?

[rocky fern]

I've never seen this cache. Where is it?

[swift anvil]

the same place you start the expedition in the anomoly

just walk up to it and grab your rewards

[fading bison]

It would be if same as if you started the expedition from a current game.

If not it’s in the anomaly, and behind to the right of the big center nexus quest thing

[rocky fern]

I always start a new file for Expeditions. 🤷‍♂️

[swift anvil]

oof

if you want to keep the rewards you need to keep your main file.

you get unique rewards you can only get by completing the expeditions

[orchid karma]

How many different gas giant planet types are there and can you land in them?

[viral latch]

so here's something I've wondered...when you wrap up the exp and end it, and it converts your money and stuff..does it convert my leftover inventory into cash? like, say i have a load of grav balls on my ship. does it give me the equivalent money? or should i sell things first.

[swift anvil]

iirc yes

[hasty nova]

If only mine didn't get corrupted mid-expedition

[swift anvil]

one minor gripe i have is that not every cosmetic you get can be used by all the races. unlocked a bunch of stuff thats unusable on my gek

like i think theres a gek helmet you cant use on the gek, and the insect head you cant either i was bummed

[fading bison]

Ahh bummer… luckily I don’t think mine did just for the few bugs and glitches from this last update

[elder frigate]

oh cool so these treasures you get for completing the smuggling challenge.... there's no reason for me to keep them right? Just sell for the easy units

[cerulean olive]

Done!

[fading bison]

That’s a cool
Idea

[elder frigate]

ah, so that's what you get to do when you're done. I have yet to really establish a normal game for myself

[silver vessel]

Man, expeditions 1 and 2 were wild. I remember those days

[orchid karma]

Mine looks like a 5 year old was playing with Legos and randomly slapped shit together

Im gonna focus more on building my vette on my main file since I treated this expedition basically as a tutorial

[fading bison]

I’m on 2 now so fun

[orchid karma]

You can do old expeditions right now?

[hasty nova]

Hoping for an update to fix my crash on load. Submitted the save file in a bug report. 150 hours in that save

[swift anvil]

there is a mod that lets you do all the expeditions but i dont want to mod the game. HG does enough cool stuff dont want to risk my save

[silver vessel]

I missed a few that I would really like to replay...the right way

hopefully a redux of older ones

[orchid karma]

Mine crashed 3 times in a row on load and I ended up restarting my PS and it fixed it

[swift anvil]

would be cool if they added a way to grind a mission line to unlock each expedition

havent had a single crash on pc yet, and im on linux

[orchid karma]

This is the coolest expedition I've done but ive only done a couple

[silver vessel]

Fellow linux user....you just leveld up in my book 🙂

[swift anvil]

ayy

which distro u use

[fading bison]

https://youtu.be/m7dEOL4kL7Y?si=Xy33idqPHtK8LFTE

super easy! Even has patches for current version just have to be offline

[swift anvil]

i liked the bug expedition a lot.

[silver vessel]

I'm running debian with KDE

[swift anvil]

ah kk. im using cachyos

[delicate solstice]

Does anyone know if i started a new game and started right off with the expedition if I'll have to start my games over when it's completed?

[swift anvil]

loved linux in college, but gaming on it back then was terrible. so happy proton made gaming a reality on linux with little to no fuss or headache

[hasty nova]

Running manjaro with KDE

[silver vessel]

Yeah, proton is really impressive. Hopefully it's the nail in windows coffin

[swift anvil]

nah windows isnt going anywhere. just happy i have the option to not use it now

[silver vessel]

Manjaro...based on arch. oh boy

[swift anvil]

iirc cachy is based on arch.

[hasty nova]

It's treated me well

[swift anvil]

will say ubuntu was the easiest to use but its become so bloated i decided to go with cachy, especially since theyre implementing tons of stuff for cpu and gpu performance

[silver vessel]

I'm a fan of anything debian....except ubuntu. Debian is just solid as hell

But arch is gnarly..n a good way

[swift anvil]

yea very intuitive. had to learn cachy a bit when i swapped over

[delicate solstice]

Im really hoping I don't have to restart lol

[silver vessel]

aaanyways...as were geeking out over linux distros lmao

[torpid oracle]

What do you mean?

[swift anvil]

you dont. when its over youll get rewards added to your main game

the expedition is a game contained within itself and you get to keep a ton of the rewards and it auto sells the rest.

and adds the cash to your main save when its over

[delicate solstice]

Even if I started straight with expedition 19?

[swift anvil]

yes. itll just add the rewards to your game after its over

its a weird system

[delicate solstice]

Gotcha. So the save stays but it then ends the expedition.

[elder frigate]

when you say "main save" are you referring to what ever "normal" game you have?

[silver vessel]

I can't for the life of me get a damn sentinal pillar map from salvaged glass. That is a thing right?

[swift anvil]

whichever mode you started the expedition in, when its over youll go back to that with rewards

if you started it in the anomoly in a save

[elder frigate]

oh okay, heh this is the only expedition I have on file so it started me on the planet

[delicate solstice]

Gotcha so if I started a new game and started the expedition straight from thrre it will just then carry that new save over to the normal game.

[mystic bridge]

I spotted there are more cosmetic stuff avaialble in expedition? Is that some kind of weird incetive to build things in expedition mode? OR they added it last moment? These recipes won't stay if learned

[swift anvil]

so. if you have a save file. and start the expedition in that file. when youre done youll go back to where you started with rewards

[delicate solstice]

Thats what I was worried about as well. I was like when this ends I hope it doesn't make me have to make a new save lol.

[delicate solstice]

I didn't have one before started the expedition. I just got the game for pc and started a fresh game right off with it. No other saves on my pc besides this new one

[swift anvil]

guys i sold the brain and cant get anyone in stations or anomoly to help me with hitchhiker and to take me to a pirate system. anyone feeling generous?

[swift anvil]

then when its over you should end up back at the anomoly with rewards in your save

[delicate solstice]

Gotcha so it just will carry this nee save over as if I started the expedition from the anomaly. Makes sense. I wouldn't see them making you start a whole new game after this ends.

[torpid oracle]

I strongly recommend doing the whole story at least once before doing the expedition

[swift anvil]

nah. everything you do in the expedition nets your main save rewards and unlocks unique items in the main save

[mystic bridge]

and money

[delicate solstice]

I did on xbox. I beat everything on xbox and wanted to move to pc so I started with expedition on pc

[swift anvil]

yea anything you dont bring back with you gets sold and your main account gets the money

[delicate solstice]

What about the corvette is that a perm thing or only for this 6 weeks?

[silver vessel]

what the best way to cheese the sentinal phase? I really don't want to fight 5 wakes with the shit weapons I have

[swift anvil]

i think it offers you to keep the corvette

[delicate solstice]

I hope so lol. Since I started with expedition I have no other ships besides this and a freighter now lol

[hasty nova]

It part of the main game too

[swift anvil]

expeditions usually offer to let you keep gun,ship, and some items

[grand pivot]

Will Corvette modules stashed in Cache Inventory transfer or do they have to be placed in the terminal

[delicate solstice]

Gotcha. I only got worried and wanted to check since im not able to play with any other friends now till this 6 weeks ends since I started the game with the expedition

[hasty nova]

Find and take down a Sentinel pillar

[silver vessel]

correct

[hasty nova]

Used my corvette for the walker

[knotty marsh]

You'll most likely find a base next to a pillar, if you go through player bases that was added to your space station teleporter

I think NMS really needs a thumbs up system. Something similiar to what we have in Death Stranding.
I would love to be able to appreciate the bases of other players, if i liked the looks, or if the base was helpfull to me during the expedition.

[frank yarrow]

Any idea on what this does?

Is it part of the expedition?

[knotty marsh]

not part of the exp. If you interact with it, you'll get a little bit of lore. That's all

[frank yarrow]

Ahh gotcha ty

[silver vessel]

Brilliant. There is one at the last rendezvous. Love when the community does this

[knotty marsh]

Yup, same thing. That's why i would love to have the thumbs up system for bases 🙂

[stark cedar]

Modules in the corvette workshop archive won't transfer to my main save, correct?

[hasty nova]

I would love to see that

[remote thunder]

correct

[grand pivot]

What about your Corvettes cargo inventory, does that get transferred back to main?

[frank yarrow]

If I create a new game straight into expedition what would happen when I complete it? Does it allow me to go into normal?

[stark cedar]

Right, thanks. The "back and forth" hack using "Return to primary save" is still working?

[torpid oracle]

Yes, it'll be converted to a normal save afterwards

[frank yarrow]

Thank you

[static grail]

what are expeditions?

[frank yarrow]

From what i've gathered theyre time limited missions to play with the new stuff thats been added

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.

X then scroll left to utilities

[elfin quarry]

That rear gear flexing hard. Never missed leg day.

[hollow socket]

Ok.. Honest question here. Am I missing a trick to finding these salvage modules with the corvette parts?

Are we really supposed to be landing, getting out of the ship, scanning, manually marking salvage locations, getting back in the ship, launching, flying to the salvage, then having to land again, get out, excavate, then collect the modules?

That seems like a lot of ridiculousness for something you'd think we should be able to find while in the ship. 😳

[cerulean olive]

Beam down. Saves you launch fuel too.

[torpid oracle]

Okay, technically I think that is what you're supposed to do, but what everyone does is find it, shoot it with your ship, get out of pilot seat while hovering, scan for the next one, repeat

[solemn bane]

Never, ever land your ship. Use the teleport button (red button to the left of the hatch)

[hollow socket]

Ah! That would be easier. Getting the hatch to open at times requires some finesse in landing. LOL

[cerulean olive]

You can go into autopilot mode, scan the planet from your ship, mark the targets, fly there, beam down, excavate the goodies and beam back ip to scan for the next one.

[torpid oracle]

I honestly find even beaming down to take too much time, shooting it with the ship saves so much time

[cerulean olive]

Use the left button at your hatch to beam down to the surface.

[hollow socket]

With the ship scanner, or the multitool? Ship scanner doesn't seem to be showing me anything, unless I'm missing it somehow.

[cerulean olive]

With your multitool scanner.

[torpid oracle]

You get out of pilot seat while hover and scan with your multitool analyzer

[solemn bane]

Sure, I was speaking more generally. It's a huge part of corvettes.

[torpid oracle]

yeah, it's good advice

[solemn bane]

Also, you can use the regular multi-tool scanner without leaving your ship, but NOT the quest scanner. So you may need to either reposition your corvette or get out and use the quest scanner if there is nothing nearby.

edit: actually my quest scanner sometimes works on my corvette. Not sure when it does/doesn't.

[hollow socket]

Ok. I'll give that a shot. The gazillion landings to get the hatch open on rough terrain is driving me nuts. 🤣

Didn't think that button on the left did anything. When I looked at it on the station, it didn't have any text on it, so I thought it was 'decorative'. 🤦‍♂️

[buoyant herald]

question, this is my first expedition, when you bring your ship with you, does it keep the inventory too? or just what's hard wired onto the ship?

[faint pelican]

Help with derelict freighter. I find it fine and land but I can’t get to the entrance. When I walk off of my corvette I fall and there is no portal I just land on the freighter and I can not use jet pack because I am on the freighter. I have tried reloading twice and still same thing.

[torpid oracle]

Oh good to know. I've never had to but now that I think about it, it would be very convenient if you could if you wanted to do the main storyline in a corvette

[hollow socket]

Thanks to all for the advice! o7

[torpid oracle]

You're supposed to beam onto freighters and derelict freighters from your corvette

[buoyant herald]

just make sure that you arent close enough to anything that can interact, or trying to mark your scans will trigger them

[rocky fern]

Use the big red button across the door from the hatch button.

[buoyant herald]

but i think there is a way to change the scan keybind, dunno

[faint pelican]

How? I step off my freighter and see now way to beam to it

[cerulean olive]

Use the red button on the left of the hatch control to beam to the freighter. It'll leave a teleporter too

[faint pelican]

Ohhhhh my gosh. Thank you!

[rocky fern]

had to figure that out myself a couple of hours ago

haha

[stark cedar]

Wait. I just finished the expedition and NOW I am reading about the onboard teleporter? 😭

[cerulean olive]

Well, that's what expeditions are for. To learn the ropes of the update.

[stark cedar]

Worked well for me...

[cerulean olive]

Explore everything 😄

Using the beam saves you the rage of finding a landing spot and launch fuel too.

[stark cedar]

At least I figured out how to return every last bit back to my main save 😅

[mental bluff]

Hey Guys, I have been playing with my Corvette moving parts around and doing upgrades etc but I cant for the life of me get my DMG potential up further then as shown in the screenshots. I can if I add additional weapon types (that I do not want to use) but they fill up ship slots limiting what I can upgrade for ones I want to use. Looking at my layout below is there something I am doing wrong here or is my DMG potential already good?

[silver vessel]

god damn thats wicked

[cerulean olive]

I scrapped everything and sold all the gathered parts, after ending the last milestones.

[sterile stone]

can we use 2 landing path in front and back in ship guys?

im too new for this update

[foggy abyss]

what do i have to do to unlock the anomaly in the expedition?

[cerulean olive]

Try asking in the corvette discussion channel

[mental bluff]

Ahh did not see that Thank You

[real torrent]

can anyone help me clear out sents for challenge

[faint pelican]

How do you get out of third person on deflect freighter? It said to use F and now I’m in first person and hate it.

[real torrent]

im almost done just need to clear all 5 waves

[torpid oracle]

The technology you're given should be sufficient to kill, what is it, 8 sentinels? If you need the pillar map, you're better off looting salvageable scrap for the map since sentinels are sorta buggy until the next patch

[torpid oracle]

quick menu

[glacial eagle]

I am really not liking every planet with aggressive sentinels at all, what a royal pain ☹️

[real torrent]

not just 8 sents all of them clear all wanted levels

[faint pelican]

Okay it’s something else. I used that. Thank you! But it’s like I’m a ghost and can only see my weapon in my hand. A reset is all that fixed it.

[torpid oracle]

You can honestly ignore them most of the time in my experience

[real torrent]

the game keeps bugging with the waves

[glacial eagle]

shooting me to death, cant ignore that though

[torpid oracle]

Just always keep moving. The only time it would be an issue is if you're trying to fish, in which case, you have my sympathies

[solemn bane]

You can fish on Dissonant planets. Corrupted sentinels aren't aggressive.

[buoyant herald]

does the game check ALL of your inventory? or just what you have on your personal inventory? like will your storage containers and ship space be tallied as well? Will your equipped items also be removed?

[solemn bane]

This is a good question, and I have my suspicions storage containers are overlooked. I always pull my stuff out beforehand.

Probably the parts cache, too.

[solemn pebble]

yes

[solemn bane]

I should test it someday but it's tedious as hell, heh.

[buoyant herald]

well, ill just build a monstosity out of my spare parts for the corvette salvage, but im a bit of a hoarder, and the fact that you can now take the containers with you didnt help me 😛

[solemn bane]

That, next to never having to land, is my second favorite thing about corvettes.

[buoyant herald]

indeed

i came in at the best/worst time for someone like me 😛

i played enough to get a decent setup on my main save... but now its time to wrap up my expedition and i dont know what i want to actually keep

[soft latch]

Is there a way to get into the same instance with one of y’all so I can get the hitchhiker achievement? I’ve been trying for ever and am having no luck.

[buoyant herald]

best bet is to make sure multiplayer is on and go to the anomaly

i can try to meet up as i havent closed my expedition yet... but the odds of doing that by chance is... small

[soft latch]

I’m fairly new to the game. Should I invite someone to a group? Cause I’ve tried to hop onto a corvette but I get warped off when they leave the anomaly

[buoyant herald]

yeah, you have to be grouped with them

stowaways arent allowed in nms 😛

[stark cedar]

I hopped on a corvette on a regular station. Not grouped. That worked for me quite well

[buoyant herald]

hmm

[torpid oracle]

You definitely don't have to, it may have been a bug that they experienced

[torpid oracle]

I think that's a bug that should get fixed soon, you're supposed to be able to hitchhike on someone else's corvette in the anomaly I believe

[soft latch]

Alright I’ll keep trying. My only other hope is my friend playing the expedition but he’s being a slowpoke lol

[static grail]

for new players, do yall recommend us going straight for the expedition or at one point in the new player experience would be good to try it?

[indigo falcon]

as soon as your friend has a corvette that can get airborne and you're in a low conflct system, that should be enough; just get on and fly low around the planet some

[indigo falcon]

honestly it would be good to have some hours of regular play under your belt first, maybe 10-20 hours, the expd runs 5-6 weeks so lots of time

[soft latch]

I GOT IT

[torpid oracle]

I strongly recommend doing the entire story at least once before doing an expedition

[soft latch]

Waited on someone’s corvette for like 30 minutes 😂

[static grail]

well thats two votes for wait

[torpid oracle]

Nice

[indigo falcon]

now that's patience!

[indigo falcon]

the expedition is intended for players who already know the game basics and don't need a tutorial; it usually adds a new twist on regular gameplay as well as introducing some new game mechanic

so it's good to have a baseline familiarity...

[stark cedar]

I did every single expedition since the first one and I never once finished the main storyline. 😅

[torpid oracle]

To be clear, there aren't like, spoilers per say, but it skews your experience of the game if you start right away in an expedition, and it'll be tougher without having learned most of the game first

[buoyant herald]

i had been playing for a few days before the expedition even started, and its so much more fun knowing "some" of the steps and accidentally filling out the task list while playing normally

[static grail]

gotcha

thank you everyone

[torpid oracle]

I only say complete the story at least once because it basically guarantees that you've played long enough and learned enough things to have a good time in an expedition

[solemn bane]

My first crash, ha

No surprise, multiplayer was on

[torpid oracle]

No way, what caused it?

[solemn bane]

Turned multiplayer on so the weekly would stop bugging out.

[elfin quarry]

Anybody here willing to help me out with Hitchhiking? It's the only milestone I have left to do for 100% completion.

[torpid oracle]

Just turning it on caused you to crash? That's funny

[brazen radish]

A thought stuck my mind: we can bring ourown ships to the expedition right?

Lets say I have near 100 build limit ship. Would anyone know how that would convert to amount of Nanites needed to get it in the expedition??

[torpid oracle]

I would camp out looking for Corvettes at the checkpoint space stations. If you can't see any, you may have to wait for the next patch

[solemn bane]

NAh I have to keep it on until I exit the anomaly, and I crashed as I exited, likely because there was a corvette nearby

[indigo falcon]

it's more about the class, and you can't copy ships into the expd for this one, special case

[brazen radish]

Unless Nanites are calculated by the ship class..? 🤔

[stark cedar]

Yeah, understood what you were getting at. My main advice would be: Just have fun. NMS is more like an interactive sandbox than a hard sci-fi game

[brazen radish]

Aww maaan

[solemn bane]

Interactive sandbox/QA environment

[indigo falcon]

yep, nms isabout the vibe more than anything else. if you're down with that (and the specific vibe) then you'll love this game

[upper summit]

do i lose the extra cargo slots bought for my corvette if i dismantle it and build a new one?

stupid to ask but bear with me

[stark cedar]

Well I am a software tester by day so I really don't mind that. 😅

[torpid oracle]

Quick, someone change the expedition FAQ command to say it's a limited time QA environment lol

[indigo falcon]

I don't know if cargo slots get refunded, never tested it, I would just remove some pieces and keep the core build to be on the safe side

[elfin quarry]

For all of 5 seconds I was like "Next patch...?"

And then, as I sat in the Hub, I understood 😄

[indigo falcon]

and thus, the Traveler was enlightened 😄

[solemn bane]

Think you've got what it takes to be a QA tester? Prove it! Play Expedition 19: Corvette, today!

[torpid oracle]

On one hand, I get why so many people are understandably upset after every major update- like this buggy experience really shouldn't be excusable every single update. But on the other hand, it's so easy to submit a bug report and/or just wait

[stark cedar]

Exploiting a bug right now to transfer my whole inventory back to my main save. Do I get a raise?

[indigo falcon]

let's see: I lost 80 carbon (big deal; refiner bug), corvette landed at base in such a way that landing exit was blocked and base front door was inaccessible, had to put an interior stairway to get out; had a bad docking inside of space station that left me floating outside of the station when exiting the corvette (jet pack got me inside eventually)... not too much else went wrong, luckily

[solemn bane]

Only if you do it twice.

[elfin quarry]

It's mildly amusing even, to watch a seated Traveler fly into the hub, and "land". Get up, run zig-zags through the sky, presumably exiting their invisible-to-the-rest-of-the-world ship, just to come back, reverse the process, and take off in the same fashion.

[stark cedar]

Well I am jumping between expedition and main save for the last 30 minutes doing this. So I would say that counts.

[torpid oracle]

The biggest bug, that I've seen several others run into, was having to do the derelict freighter a second time- that was a huge bummer. And it's not just this expedition either- it's this patch with any expedition. I think I had to do a derelict freighter on the first or second expedition and I had to redo that one too

[elfin quarry]

What method are you using to redo old Expiditions?

[indigo falcon]

ugh, I have not heard that one. I was holdnig my breath about the derelict doors, that bug has been there off and on over a few updates, but these doors had no tendrils (yay!) and opened just fine. I had no personal refiner, which is how I usually hedge my bets against that buglet

[torpid oracle]

https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/
made by our very own cwmonkey

[elfin quarry]

Ok, cool. That's the same one I found, but wasn't sure if it was legit or not. Thanks!

[buoyant herald]

most of the things that i see people talk about arent a problem for me because im playing single player most of the time... so it's everyone else fault the game is buggy 😛

[indigo falcon]

lol (I am also in single player, and those bugs are real)

[solemn bane]

It's 2 legit 2 quit

[buoyant herald]

multiplayer seems to put a lot of strain on the system communication and make the issues worse

[elfin quarry]

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear 😛

[indigo falcon]

or the always fun "sentinel gets stuck in terrain with no icon no the 5th wave so you cannot complete that" bug... that's been there for a long time, mp not implicated.

[elfin quarry]

Had this one just a few hours ago.

[indigo falcon]

mp is essentially a peer-to-peer transfer of data, and that leaves all sorts of possibilities for caches to get out of sync in all the wrong ways.

[stark cedar]

Found out I could even copy my whole expedition corvette an infinite amount of times if I wanted. 🙈

[indigo falcon]

if you have the nanites, you sure can (mt too)

[buoyant herald]

well, a lot of the things ive been having problems with in the expedition havent been happening in my main save. i dunno. just coincidentally avoiding all the crap that comes with infocrowding i guess

[indigo falcon]

but how many copies of the same corvette do you really need...

[stark cedar]

Well to be honest, one abomination of a spaceship is enough.

[buoyant herald]

i mean... if i could fleet my corvette, i would make as many copies as i dam well please 😛

[indigo falcon]

heh mine looks *&^%-ugly, because it's essentially a part transfer mechanism back to the main save, where I've not yet played the update 😛 every single part I could shove on there in some way....

[buoyant herald]

give me an army of golden spike frogs 😛

[indigo falcon]

tat's not a bad look

[stark cedar]

Yeah, me too. That was before I found the easy way

[buoyant herald]

it was a bit sleeker and was more of a beetle, but then i decided to upgrade the engines and put the shield balls on it and it henceforth became the spike frog.

looks more like a funky gungan from the back 😛

even funnier, that if you look at it from the side... you would easily mistake the front FOR the back 😛

the design is off, but "the numbers" tell me putting the engines in the front of the ship give more maneuverability...

[hot whale]

what's the easiest way to tackle that One, Zero mission?

[solemn bane]

If you are having trouble with One, Zero, you can keep mining Salvageable Scrap, they have a chance to drop a Sentinel Boundary Map you can use to find a pillar and disable the sentinels.

Or there are bases near pillars

[elfin quarry]

^^^ What he said.

[buoyant herald]

thats the one to shut down the planet sentinels right? yeah, the navmaps occasionally drop from corvette salvage, use those and go to the terminal at the location it gives you

you dont even have to fight, the terminal "minigame" is just a few dialogue options and poof, task done

is it already a known thing that these dont seem to exist in the corvette crafter? i cant find out how to use them, and i have a few ideas of what i want to use them for, but they just dont show up on any of the crafting menu, be in the ship placement menu or the station corvette builder

[solemn bane]

Sure they do

Scroll down I guess

[thin bane]

Love how I completed everything else before the grow plant quest

And I’m now watching plants grow

[solemn bane]

Frostwort is the fastest. 12 min grow time

[thin bane]

I’ve been growing gutrot the entire time

[buoyant herald]

they arent in my menu, ive checked so many times. but now that i've told someone, they likely will show up... thats what im hoping for 😛

[hot whale]

should i fill up my expetition take-home box with corvette parts? or do i get to keep those?

[buoyant herald]

you can take a ship with you

so build a monstrosity with all your parts and load them in

[indigo falcon]

right. here's my ugly corvette-part-transfer-device

[frozen laurel]

that's all that would fit

[buoyant herald]

and if you are willing to pay, you can get those parts again as many times as you want 😛

[indigo falcon]

better than watching the grass grow I guess 😛

[stark cedar]

I wondered about these cargo boxes as well. You're not alone

[indigo falcon]

it looksk even uglier from the back side btw

[indigo falcon]

a much neater pile than mine

[austere flicker]

Prometheus

[indigo falcon]

I just kept shoving things on ignoring the clipping

[elfin quarry]

Hitchhiking complete by stowning away. 100% completed now 😄

[austere flicker]

How long did you wait? Lol

[elfin quarry]

~30 min across two stowaway attempts lol

[austere flicker]

Lol

[elfin quarry]

Would've been done in one attempt but that guy warped out of system about ~1200U short of the goal.

Unceremoniously dumped me in deep space. Jerk...

[buoyant herald]

this is where all the cargo parts should be, its not here. not in the bottom of the structural tab either

and its certainly not a core module 😛

[indigo falcon]

well no

[torpid oracle]

I swear I saw that in the #nms-spoilers channel lol

[solemn bane]

Oh, board your corvette and open the build menu

[indigo falcon]

for cargo pods and such? or do you mean storage containers 0 - 9?

[torpid oracle]

But it's been a long day so I could be tripping at this point

[indigo falcon]

because the cargo pod decorative things are definitely in the corvette part menu, but the storage container things are in the interior build menu indeed

[solemn bane]

Storage Containers.

[torpid oracle]

but the part they're talking about isn't a storage container

It's a "Cargo Box", looks like it's meant to be an external module

[buoyant herald]

nope

it even says external module

[solemn bane]

OH lmao, I just saw "Storage Container" in your screenshot and thought you were asking about those

[torpid oracle]

#nms-spoilers message

Look at this conversation for more information maybe

[indigo falcon]

https://www.nomansskyresources.com/corvette-parts/cargo-box these then

[buoyant herald]

nah

im talking about the thing i posted earlier

[indigo falcon]

yeah those, the one I linked on nms resources.

[solemn bane]

FYI I made a thread on Steam with the tips/tricks/bug workarounds I've learned here and doing the expedition a few times: https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/601914904286417693/

rumour mill is that these are "unimplemented" https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1n67cnd/unimplemented_corvette_parts_cargo_box_industrial/

@solemn bane I would add to the second tip: have an orbital uplonk always crafted; get stuck in space, bad docking with corvette, etc etc? use it!

I did my 8 corrupteds in with scatter up close an personal, had tossed a couple S upgrades on there, it was fine, no shield upgrades on the suit either... a lot of people swear by the neutron cannon though so fair enough

I might expand tip 18 a little, explain you can get out of the pilot chair, scan for them, mark them, sit back down and then go shoot ...

rest looks great tbh, a fine list

[torpid oracle]

I would swap 3 & 2, as the third tip is the second most important tip imo

[indigo falcon]

I told a lot moer players about the orbital uplink than about reporting bases so far..

probably because a lot more people got stuck with bugs where the uplink was the quick fix

[torpid oracle]

Tip #9 could use some elaboration. Like, some people are dealing with a bug, and if you don't have the bug, going to a checkpoint system makes it way more doable

[stark cedar]

Well the deadeye cannon was fun while it lasted. Guess it is a known issue that it vanishes on deconstruction?

[solemn bane]

Wouldn't it turn to materials?

[stark cedar]

It would? But then I expect to at least keep the blueprint

Guess not

[solemn bane]

It's not built with corvette parts. It's like the windows

[stark cedar]

But shouldn't I be able to select it from the corvette build menu?

[torpid oracle]

If you've recieved the reward, yes.

[solemn bane]

After deleting if the mats haven't disappeared I guess. Mine always ended up in my inventory so I could rebuild it if I wanted. Solar mirror and some other junk.

[stark cedar]

I did. Just returned to main save from the expedition

[solemn bane]

Oh, you need to go get the recipe from the qs vendor

[stark cedar]

Thanks, that tracks. Will check it out tomorrow.

[spring crescent]

dammit the skyborn armor isnt showing up for me

I've completed the expedition, but nothing

(I am playing modded, but that shouldn't affect what's there

[solemn bane]

Do you need to go unlock it at the qs vendor as well?

[minor terrace]

Skyborn armor should just be available at the appearance modifier I'm ps

[frozen laurel]

Do Orbital Uplinks work after the expedition?

[inland lynx]

how do you do the anarchy milestone? I went to a planet and got a wanted level, then got in ship and flew to space. No ships came after me.

[spring crescent]

I'll see if disabling all mods fixes it

[solemn bane]

Should happen after you warp once

[inland lynx]

oh so after I get wanted level, warp?

[solemn bane]

Just do the expedition, it'll happen

[indigo falcon]

when you go to the r1 system I thnk it is, and pop in there from the warp, you get a wanted level immediately from a scan and then there are interceptors, it's built into the expd

[inland lynx]

i might have missed it then. in at the first rendezvous system. i think there were pirates after my first warp, but i ran away

[spring crescent]

alright that fixed it

[indigo falcon]

well, shoot the space station then, they'll show up

[solemn bane]

Uh oh. Yeah I saw a note that said you don't want to run away, lol. I dunno, try shooting a space station, that'll piss them off.

Don't say things faster than me.

[indigo falcon]

I haven't tested (I'm still in the expd save, gonna build a base next to a sentinel pllar and upload it, to help folks stuck on that one milestone)

[minor terrace]

If you do it from a planet the Sentinels have to be searching for you or see you in my experience
You'll see the message "Interceptors approaching in: [time]" or smth similar

I learned about that because I tried hiding in my ship to dodge the Sentinels like the old days but got blasted instead

[indigo falcon]

ah yeah those old days are long gone

[minor terrace]

I remember when Sentinels couldn't see you in buildings for some reason even if they were a foot from your face

[indigo falcon]

they still can't, or at least they can't attack you if they are inside with you... the doggos now, they are just bugged

[torpid oracle]

when? They still can't if you sit down on a chair

[minor terrace]

They dont shoot you, but "Sentinels searching" doesn't appear anymore as far as ive tested

[torpid oracle]

sentinels are just bugged extra special this patch rn, especially with how they search for you (sometimes they literally will not stop, so you have to fly away)

[lament plume]

I am a returning player. Never did an expedition. What do I need to bring in the prepare tab for this new expedition? Is it fine to use the existing safe?

[torpid oracle]

Oh, cwmonkey, did you ever get the missed rewards thing figured out with the 3rd expedition? Or even at least the IDs so I could compare it to the wiki maybe?

[indigo falcon]

exiisting save is fine; you don't need to bring anything; enjoy exploring!

[solemn bane]

I was about to say no but I tried it in a system with no space station, lol. Yes, they work.

That makes Corvette the best expedition to start a new game on, imo

[torpid oracle]

Nothing is needed, but a sentinel map will help a lot. Using an existing save will be fine

[indigo falcon]

I was wondering if in an uncharted system it would send you to the space station next door... guess not then 😄

[solemn bane]

The item just vanished, lol

[minor terrace]

Orbital uplinks?

[solemn bane]

I was momentarily heart broken.

[indigo falcon]

well it only cost 30 chrom metal, cheap anyhow

[solemn bane]

The thing that cost chromatic metal that got you to the space station

[indigo falcon]

you'll find out when you get into the expd. a very handy item to have, in case of bugs bugs bugs

and boy there is a lot of bugginess this time

[minor terrace]

If your talking current patch i have no such privileges

[frozen laurel]

they're consumable. I wonder if they'll be a blueprint at the anomaly in the future.

[indigo falcon]

hang in there, it will come

[cinder bear]

Do I need to be joined to a party for the Hitchhiking milestone? I keep falling through the floor when someone else's corvette takes off

[indigo falcon]

they ought to be given that some of the corvette bugs are just corvette bugs and not expd bugs

[lament plume]

Never had this drop before. Seems you can't buy one either...

[frozen laurel]

not mandatory, but seems to work better if you are. either friend or nexus mission groups work

[polar oak]

What happens when I end expedition? Do my currencies go to my main save?

[indigo falcon]

the salv scrap bits you destroy for corvette parts sometimes drop those maps, often enough to make that a viable method to get one now

[indigo falcon]

units/nanites/qs carry over

[polar oak]

Specifically Quicksilver, should I spend it in expedition before I end?

[polar oak]

Ok, thanks.

[minor terrace]

One day ill get to experience corvettes, even if it takes 16//16//16//16 years

[torpid oracle]

If you started from a previous save, then I don't recommend it- it should carry over

[polar oak]

Shit, I started from the main menu, not the anomaly or whatever. Does that change anything?

[indigo falcon]

you might be on a new save then, in which case, at the end, the new save will convert to a normal mode save and you'll keep all your stuff there

[wide pelican]

Where do I find the package of seeds?

Im not seeing anything in my inventory

[formal palm]

after doing the community rendevous thing, you can talk to the core and upload the orbital uplink blueprint

[indigo falcon]

you get blueprints, not seeds themselves, as a milestone reward

[wide pelican]

ohhhh lmao that makes more sense

[polar oak]

I just started playing like three days ago and haven't completed the story so obviously I want to return to that save and not continue this one. So in that case should I spend my quicksilver?

[inland lynx]

Thanks guys! Shooting the space station worked

[indigo falcon]

go to the interior build menu whil inside the corvette, one of the tabs will have all the plant recipes, you can see what you need to build each one

[wide pelican]

ye ye I got that I thought they actually gave me seeds tho, misundestood the menu

[indigo falcon]

well you can, or if there's no items you want that cost the given amount, you could do a couple weekend missions on the new save until you have enough to buy something more expensive, whatever worksfor you

[polar oak]

Yeah I grabbed this to be able to afford something I want but idk where tf to go. No markers.

[indigo falcon]

that has happened to a number of players. if you have mp on, try turning it off and going again... might still be bugged though

[frozen laurel]

Warping to the nearest system and back restored markers for me.

[polar oak]

Ooh, I'll try that, thanks.

[indigo falcon]

huh normally warping out of the current system ends the mission. well who knows, bugs bugs bugs

[solemn bane]

Go back to the nexus, leave the mission, turn multiplayer ON, go to your ship and get in/out to save, close nms, open nms, load your save, try again. If it doesn't work, do that process again.

I have had to do this four fucking times.

[frozen laurel]

That sounds like a lot, I'll hope that the warping out and in keeps working for me

[indigo falcon]

welp that would suck for those of us without multiplayer...

[solemn bane]

Hopefully. It didn't work for me.

[polar oak]

So I warped out and I can't warp back in because I don't have an emeril drive 😭

[indigo falcon]

urgh...

[frozen laurel]

Oh no. Try a teleporter back to that system's space station.

[indigo falcon]

you did go to the space station there, right?

[polar oak]

hehe

Clearance not granted, lit.

[indigo falcon]

pirate station?

[solemn bane]

lmao.

[polar oak]

Actually it wasn't, is it because I am in one now?

[prisma tundra]

yeah, go to a non pirate system & try again

[polar oak]

Teleporting via space station removed the mission. Guess I try the harder method.

[solemn bane]

Sounds like the easier method to me 😉

It's also borderline superstition. I don't know what part of that worked, but it's now worked five times in a row. Also frustrating that I got bugged on the mission 5 times in a row.

[misty obsidian]

People attacking me bc I don’t wanna join their team is crazy ngl

[solemn bane]

Turn off multiplayer.

[alpine dawn]

Whaaa fR? That’s the only reason I bought the game lmao

[polar oak]

Can someone add me and let me hitchhike? Last milestone I have.

[solemn bane]

Mainly Nintendo's fault. But you better hope it's not too buggy to play on switch, because then it'll be another week+ wait.

[alpine dawn]

Alr

[prisma tundra]

turn off pvp or like cwmonkey said, turn off multiplayer all together

[alpine dawn]

Nms is The best game I’ve played for 2 days and I already have 17h

[polar oak]

@solemn bane worked btw, thanks.

[solemn bane]

Always do what I say unless I am wrong, in which case do not do what I say.

[prisma tundra]

I didn't get an answer on this so I'll presume what's in the pins is sufficient, but I'm asking again just in case this was missed with the high rate of chat when I originally asked

[indigo falcon]

I went in with nothing, it was fine. if you bring a sentinel boundary map, "some" gold and silver, that can shorten the time but it's sure not required

[prisma tundra]

ah ok, thank you!!

[lament plume]

Where can I get the sentinal boundary map the easiest?

[indigo falcon]

I got a couple of them just trying to get corvette parts from salv scrap

you know the trick of hovering near the surface in the corvette, get out of the chair, scan and mark the scrap, then sit down and go shoot it with the ship, right? saves a lot of time

[prisma tundra]

usually from salvaged glass, all places to get them have low drop rates, but when going through waves of sentinels, you get a lot of chances, similar to salvaged frigate modules on derelict freighters

[prisma tundra]

oh I didn't know that was a thing!

[indigo falcon]

new with the update it seems

[lament plume]

So just go on sentinel heavy planet and shoot down sentinels?

[polar oak]

Someone let me hitchhike please?

[prisma tundra]

I've seen a few people say to just go on someone's, don't ask about it lol

[prisma tundra]

very cool

[polar oak]

Nah it just drops you out.

[prisma tundra]

it shouldn't, that might be a bug

[indigo falcon]

if they warp or pulse away, you'll get left. if they don't, you're ok

[prisma tundra]

pretty much, but there other ways to aqcuire if you can't handle sentinels (sometimes even I struggle)

[indigo falcon]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Sentinel_Boundary_Map#Source according to this table, salv scrap has the best drop rate now

[lament plume]

beeen doing loads of the salv scrap to get my corvette parts. It is finished but just need some more for the thunderbird enginers 😄 Think I had a sentinal map. Will check tonight when I'm back home 😄

[dire mirage]

how exactly do you find a pirate controlled system easily?

[hoary grove]

Let's say I start the expedition from my normal existing save, what will happen to the resources and upgrades I collect during the expedition? Will I get to keep those? And how?

[solemn bane]

A prior milestone gives you a conflict scanner recipe. Install it and look around the galaxy map for skulls.

[dire mirage]

wow that's kinda luck based huh

but thanks

[solemn bane]

After you complete all the required milestones, but before you end the expedition completely, you can put items into the expedition terminal and pick them up on your primary save. While on your primary save you can also copy your current expedition ship and multitool.

[hoary grove]

Thanks, I understand the items part, but what do you mean by the last sentence? Would I have to end expedition and switch back to normal save? How do I get the ship in that case? Sorry I'm new to expeditions this might be my first one if I sign up for it, wanted to do the dinosaur update expedition too but couldn't find the time

[prisma tundra]

economy scanner or conflict scanner, both will show a pirate skull for outlaw systems

[prisma tundra]

you can technically copy over the ship & multi-tool without fully ending the expedition, in a similar way to how you copied your ship/multi-tool (if you did so) into the expedition, there's options at the terminal to do so

[prisma tundra]

oh, I suppose it's been adjusted then

[indigo falcon]

it seems so yeah

[hoary grove]

Thanks 👍

[prisma tundra]

you're welcome

[inland lynx]

What’s the easiest way to achieve hitchhiking?

[torpid oracle]

Hop in someone's corvette at any checkpoint station, assuming you aren't affected by the bug that makes everyone else's corvette invisible

[inland lynx]

They’re invisible half the time

And sometimes it’s just part of them that are invisible and if I walk there, I fall into space and get stuck

[torpid oracle]

Then you may have to either ignore that milestone (it's optional) or wait until next patch

[sharp coral]

Hey, can someone give me a ride in their corvette? For the expedition. I'll do the same for you.

[torpid oracle]

You and paul can give it a shot @inland lynx

[sharp coral]

Yo Paul. I believe we can help one another. What system do you play on?

[inland lynx]

I’m on PS5. I just went to anomaly, and kept getting in ships until one took off. Disney take too long. I’m just about to log off, sorry!

[dire mirage]

hey, you still need this?

[sharp coral]

@dire mirage yes. I'm on xbox, if that matters,.I'm not sure

[jagged sequoia]

my full review of Voyager Expedition is was enjoyable but that was it, it has almost no redeeming qualities that the base game does you wont really find anything unique to the expedition its really just a sped up start it gives you what amounts to an S class ship as a corvette which is nice and enjoyable because it does remove a good portion of grind... TLDR: its really just a longer and better tutorial

[rocky fern]

Every Expedition is pretty much a tutorial for new features.

all solid points

[jagged sequoia]

yes and no just as an example Titan made you visit gas giants awesome but horrible environments there really wasnt a tutorial to it it just made you survive extremes which was really fun like yeah you can say its a tutorial but it really wasnt

[torpid oracle]

I think Titan is the golden standard that expeditions should try to be like. Awesome adventure through awesome environments, and you got awesome rewards

[jagged sequoia]

like if they made the Voyager expedition a tutorial option I think EVERYONE would be ecstatic but it definitely doesnt deserve the title of expedition

all it did realyl was take you threw the game and almost everything it has to offer outside of settlements and freighters

[torpid oracle]

If they made a custom Corvette that was a reward for every save I would've been, like, 60% more hyped for this expedition. Or if the deadeye cannon was actually a new weapon- or a skin of a new one. Or if the expedition put you through some crazy space battle at the end where if you didn't build a good enough Corvette you'd die, so it incentived you to really invest into it. Idk.

[jagged sequoia]

I personally believe it was missing large scale deliveries it makes you build 4 storages but it never capitalized on it you never used them in any meaningful way outside of junk storage

like thats what id expect a giant ship with a ton of storage should do complete large deliveries while keeping off pirates needing to properly route your ship away from high combat zones but sometimes have to go threw them rather then just land it 50 odd times to do an unrelated obj

[torpid oracle]

Yeah, a big delivery in phase 4 or 5 could've been a good milestone

[jagged sequoia]

I hope they expand on it in the next expedition but I do not have my hopes up

[torpid oracle]

Now I need someone to found a papa johns community, where they deliver pizza in 30minutes or less in Corvettes across all the galaxies

[jagged sequoia]

i do personally believe that if they do make an expedition like this again that it should be properly rewarding because it really didnt have any substance just as a way to say yeah we know its not what you expected so heres this too because you didnt really do other expeditions for the reward they were mainly just fun doing things you dont normally do seeing thigns you dont normally see

the rewards are an incentive not the reason this has neither

[gentle spade]

Can the conflict scanner be applied to the corvette?

[solemn bane]

yep

[jagged sequoia]

pretty sure all normal ship upgrades can be

[gentle spade]

Ah I see now, thanks

[hoary grove]

Phase one resist 1 is out of range for me for some reason

I have the upgrade installed

[jagged sequoia]

wym out of range you mean jump range?

or mission range

[hoary grove]

Yeah when I open the galaxy map

[jagged sequoia]

jump from system to system

the orange line should guide you

i think tis orange

[solemn bane]

I wanna say... green

[jagged sequoia]

the line that exists in the map that isnt opaque meaning you been there should guide you

just make sure you have the mission selected in log and not another 1

[hoary grove]

Thanks, yeah I think I have to jump planet to planet

If I create a base in expedition, will it carry over to main save?

[formal palm]

gonna nitpick here, this is "expedition corvette" not voyager, they named the update the same as expedition 11

[jagged sequoia]

HOW DARE YOU lmao

[formal palm]

i had too 😖

[jagged sequoia]

i dont think so i dont really transfer stuff from save to save

[prisma tundra]

yes, it does, the only instance where this didn't happen was the Titan expedition if you didn't unlock purple stars before finishing expedition

[hoary grove]

I think something is wronyeith the upgrade that I installed, am I supposed to lose warp cell charge even though the upgrade says 100% efficiency?

[prisma tundra]

no, bases, exploration discoveries, and waypoints found will all transfer automatically

[prisma tundra]

100% efficiency just means further range, you'll always lose charge when warping

[hoary grove]

Went from 80% charge to 61

[jagged sequoia]

thats when you finish the expedition and it makes it a normal save right not actualy save to save right or am I misunderstanding

[prisma tundra]

right, and without the upgrade, you would've lost more charge

[lone grail]

Can someone help me with the Hitchhiking mission?

[jagged sequoia]

sneak in someones corvette when you get to the end so it doesnt negatively effect you if they warp

[prisma tundra]

nope, you're misunderstanding, when coming from a main save, then transferring back at the end, your bases, discoveries, and waypoints all transfer, like I just said

[lone grail]

Oh good point

[jagged sequoia]

i surprised a guy i was in his ship he launched i opened the hatch and went in front of his ship i was a stowaway

[hoary grove]

Phase one completed, my first ever expedition

Thanks a lot folks 🫂

[buoyant herald]

huh... "the scrap tank" My last farewell to the expedition 😛

[hoary grove]

I was watching a YouTuber do the expedition and he's able to simply jump from one objective galaxy to other? Doesn't need to go hop to hop, am I missing something?

At 47 min mark
https://youtu.be/vd2FVUEOgdg

[solemn bane]

You can do that on this expedition, but you need to buy the B class hyperdrive upgrade and put it in a supercharged slot. After that, you'll need an S upgrade or two to jump from 4 to 5, which I think is the longest jump in this expedition.

[fair shoal]

Okay, how can I progress in the expedition if I can't place a refiner to get the dang chromatic metal? I've been running for 20min and haven't been able to find a place to put the portable refine

[solemn bane]

Report the base in the quick menu

[fair shoal]

I have and still can't place

[solemn bane]

Uh oh, someone else had this issue, let me see what they had to do

[buoyant herald]

reporting a base should remove it, and let you build there. its useful in times like these where there are a lot of shell bases

[fair shoal]

Aha! Found a spot!

[buoyant herald]

nice

[solemn bane]

The last person that couldn't place it after reporting ended up not being able to place anything anywhere

[fair shoal]

20-25min of running later

[solemn bane]

uh

[buoyant herald]

heh yeesh

[solemn bane]

Pretending this anomaly didn't happen.

[buoyant herald]

for an abomination of all the parts i could find... the stats are pretty good

[fair shoal]

Not sure why I had to run so far from starting point just to place a refiner 🤷

[buoyant herald]

because so many bases nearby, the boundaries can overlap

[fair shoal]

Fair point

[solemn bane]

Oh, so you may need to report more than once

[buoyant herald]

or leave a VERY small gap thats not enough to use

yeah, i had to report a base because it was covering the only copper node i could find after almost a half hour searching

[fair shoal]

Oof

[buoyant herald]

the only one i reported, because it was the only one "in my way"

[fair shoal]

Okay... Now I can't build my corvette

[buoyant herald]

are you in free place build mode?

thats... unfortunate, but you may have to take a portal to a planet to change back

[fair shoal]

Hm

[solemn bane]

This was the problem the other person had

[buoyant herald]

fortunately it will be less troublesome to return from a posted portal

[solemn bane]

Just try restarting the game

[buoyant herald]

yeah, but fyi, you cant place corvette pieces if you are in free place mode

you can place corvette "furnishing", but not the ship parts themselves

[fair shoal]

Okay, that's what the issue was

[buoyant herald]

🙂

[fair shoal]

It's so stupid how that affects it

Lol

[buoyant herald]

ive done it to myself a few times

the ship builder is very finnicky about placement, they have to fit together because the pieces have a weird "connection" rating. so i guess either the game, or the game developers decided to not allow free place ship construction

[solemn bane]

Can't make it too fun

[buoyant herald]

hehe

i mean... im already sad that i cant make proper diagonals

[fair shoal]

Got my corvette built at least

[buoyant herald]

have to stack and stack, and it still looks clunky

nice

its a whole new world when you start getting those pieces together

just a tip, take some time gathering parts on the first "salvage" world you see to get the corvette parts. you can use the "leave pilot seat" command on your quick bar and use the scanner to search for scrap piles, and the ships blasters can break them without having to dig them out

if you want to have fun with the building, that is. you can push through to get everything out of the way and just enjoy the season gifts in your main

[fair shoal]

The basic Corvette package means its so teeny tiny lol

[buoyant herald]

oh it can get WAY bigger. not like frigate or freighter big, but there are plenty of chonky builds that ive seen

[fair shoal]

Oh I've seen

I saw someone built the Enterprise already

[buoyant herald]

i prefer compacts, but i also LIVE in my ship. so i need enough space for at least storage containers

[fair shoal]

Yeah I'll probably go compact but with enough room for the basics

[buoyant herald]

🙂

you can make 0-9 storage containers in your corvette, its great, no need to research them all at the anomaly

[fair shoal]

Doubt I'll even need all of em lol

[buoyant herald]

oh... you will

[fair shoal]

My storage on freighter can fit in the first two tabs

[buoyant herald]

if not now, when you bring it to you main file, they will be super handy

oh right... i keep forgetting BIG ships... i still havent gotten one yet

[fair shoal]

Lol

[buoyant herald]

ive had chances... just never found anything over c, so i didnt bother

tbf... havent been looking

[fair shoal]

I got lucky and found an S-class venator and snagged it

[buoyant herald]

noice

[fair shoal]

Yee

[buoyant herald]

ive been too caught up in corvette building to focus on a bunch of other things 😛

[fair shoal]

Honestly the update is what brought me back to the game

[buoyant herald]

a lot of people, really. its my first time playing, and only because it was like 60% off when i got it... im a poor bastard 😕

[fair shoal]

I've had my copy since the game first launched. Been playing off and on since forever ago

[buoyant herald]

hmm

crazy

i heard it was REALLY rough at launch

[rocky fern]

I'd pay full price for the game all over again for an actually-translated English version of the game

[fair shoal]

Rough is an understatement tbh

[buoyant herald]

heh

[fair shoal]

It was dang near unplayable at times imo

[buoyant herald]

what language was the english if not "actually" english?

[rocky fern]

"Poorly-translated English"

[buoyant herald]

ugh, i really dont like the "splash" sfx from the new jetpack trail

i may even turn it off just because of that...

still cant even figure out how to turn ON the ship trail though

[wary ivy]

You need to install it like a technology upgrade

[solemn bane]

Love beating One, Zero before even making it to my ship, lol.

[buoyant herald]

😛

wait, are you just now starting the expedition? or doing it again?

[solemn bane]

Gonna make a long one this time.

[buoyant herald]

heh

i wish there were vertical rotation for engines. some of the side mount thrusters would look amazing on a vertical stack

[lament plume]

I sat in my ship and died and then I appeared in the space station.... fro there I could sell those neutrino balls and get myself a refiner

[buoyant herald]

i mean, thats one way to do it

[jagged sequoia]

i checked it took me 4 hours 44 minutes to do the expedition

wonder how many seconds

[tribal tulip]

i did it in 6 cuz i was poking around

[lament plume]

OMG this is my first expedition and haven't played in last year or 2. Hope it will go that fast too 😄

[jagged sequoia]

it will id say 20 of those minutes were just looking for a solar panel to get recharge landing gear

[lament plume]

Just starte it but already build a corvette 😄 not sure if I still needt it 😄

[jagged sequoia]

still no idea what these are for

[bronze island]

I need to ride in somebody’s corvette

[buoyant herald]

just say 44 and pretend like you intended it that way 😛

[lament oyster]

Ouch I'm struggling with shutting down sentinel forces. Any tips?

[solemn bane]

If you are having trouble with One, Zero, you can keep mining Salvageable Scrap, they have a chance to drop a Sentinel Boundary Map you can use to find a pillar and disable the sentinels.

You can also look for bases near sentinel pillars.

[lament oyster]

I'll probably go they way then, thanks

[hoary grove]

Any idea how to easily finish the growing plants mission? I have setup the wall but don't really know how to get the seeds or an easy way to plant something

[solemn bane]

Frostwort

[solemn bane]

Oh, yeah you need to build them in your base with the build menu

Er, in your corvette

[vapid knot]

Guys, i found a derelict freighter yesterday, but i decided to do it later and abandoned it. Now i want to go back there but I don't remember where, is there a way to find it?

[solemn bane]

On the living walls

Yeah I have the living walls setup, what is frostwort?

[solemn bane]

Fastest growing plant, materials found on cold planet

[solemn bane]

I pinged you in #bot-spam but I guess that one isn't useful, lol

[solemn bane]

If you no longer have your Emergency Signal Scanner, you can get another one fron the scrap dealer on the bottom floor of space stations in the back right

[vapid knot]

At least i know the one i found yesterday was not boardable

Thanks!

[solemn bane]

Ah, in that case you probably still have the scanner to get one

Or you'll get one eventually from a milestone

[hoary grove]

Thanks I'll check it out

[orchid karma]

How do I get mecha mouse egg on my main file

I transfered the exp to my main save

[solemn bane]

QuickSilver vendor in the Anomaly.

[orchid karma]

Thx

[surreal trail]

I'm in a space station and I'm always lost in space

it's bugged

[solemn bane]

What's the issue? What are you trying to do?

[surreal trail]

to do the phase 5 quest but it makes me finish the lost in space quest even though I've already done them

[solemn bane]

Still not super sure what the issue is, possibly because I can't read French. Do you need to explore the derelict freighter?

[finite rover]

ok. corvettes can get rather long >:)

[surreal trail]

I explore them and even recover a rank s upgrade technology for frigates

[solemn bane]

Did you get the Crew Manifest, the Captain's Log and the upgrade from the final terminal?

[surreal trail]

Yes

[thick umbra]

Handout manifest and captain log to the scrap dealer

[surreal trail]

I give them to the guild, is it normally the same?

[thick umbra]

so now go for the next expedition mission

[thick umbra]

you may switch to english in NMS .. so we can read your screenshots

[lament oyster]

Are expeditioners on separate instances than normal players? The systems on the expedition routes were always full of people. I just finished it and used a portal to come back to a system to chase an exotic I like. The system isn't discovered by Hello games any more but by a normal players just a few days ago. There are still a lot of bases and communication stations but not one player in the system..
Also I notice that during the expedition the Anomaly had only players with corvette and not one normal starship and now it's back to normal starships and sometimes one corvette.

[tribal tulip]

yes, pretty much. they do it to keep players from trolling and/or cheating the expedition.

[rapid panther]

Just wondering, what items did you guys usually transfer from the expedition to main save?

[surreal trail]

The Lost in Space quest appears a few seconds after starting the save while I'm in a space station.

[solemn bane]

Then I don't know. That's all you have to do for the milestone. Try turning off multiplayer and restarting your game and do another one.

[surreal trail]

i test

[thick umbra]

As you did have that done .. check in Expedition if there some rewards you need to claim

[solemn bane]

This shit is so stupid, lmao

[lament oyster]

Sad, I enjoyed seeing systems buzzing from activity, back to cold solitude.

[surreal trail]

I have already claimed everything

[thick umbra]

exit NMS and start it again

[surreal trail]

nothing

[thick umbra]

Post your expedition screen ..

[vernal flicker]

I has problems on a save of the corvette mission, The corvette I built did not register Therefore phase 1.2 didn't tick, this is linked to phase 3.7 so you do not register the travel. I have completed all but those two items.

[solemn bane]

Try restarting your game and building the corvette again?

[thick umbra]

Screnshot for Phase 5 ?

[vernal flicker]

it works on other saves , just like to correct this one

[snow jay]

probably extremely newbie question. If I don't make a corvette photo (hard objective), it won't kick me out of expedition ?

[surreal trail]

thx
it worked

[solemn bane]

It is a required milestone. Are you having trouble on console? There is a specific way you have to do it.

[thick umbra]

Looks like you did not do the derelict ... did you got that ESS ?

[surreal trail]

I did it solo, no multiplayer, and the quest worked.

[thick umbra]

did you use that ESS .. or did you found a derelict in the wild ?

[snow jay]

Nah, I'm playing on PC. I was told that the moment I complete all objectives I will be pushed out of the expedition into normal. I play with friends and would really want to stay and explore. The question is mostly. Will not making that objective keep me in? :)

[solemn bane]

Pretty sure their problem is fixed.

[surreal trail]

I used the ESS

[surreal trail]

yes

thx

[solemn bane]

Ah, I see. That's one way to do it. I don't think it will end until you claim all the rewards, too. But just letting that one hang is fine to be safe.

[snow jay]

Yeah, a door stopper of sorts. I am very new, so wanted a confirmation if I understood how it works correctly. Thank you.

[vernal flicker]

I have completed a couple and as per normal you need to leave the expedition via the terminal to have the points transferred over.

[fringe agate]

Saw your help post on Steam forums, you mind if we copy paste that here and pin?
