Ah, now I know who to ask about that next time 😆 Go for it!

From @solemn bane
Expedition 19 Corvette: Tips, Tricks and Work-Arounds

• Bring a Sentinel Boundary Map. A lot of people have trouble with One, Zero because sentinels are bugged and hard to track down, so the map can get you to a pillar to just shut them down quickly.

• Use the Orbital Uplink multiple times! Get some extra Chromatic Metal and make/use an Orbital Uplink any time you need to go to a space station. It's a huge time saver.

• Report bases in the quick menu to make them vanish. Do this if you're unable to mine copper or put down a refiner on the first planet.

• If you have any weird bugs like not being able to get into the space station, your corvette's refiner making the wrong thing, random crashes, etc. try shutting off Multiplayer. That fixes a LOT of bugs

• 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.

• Weapons: I tend to use a Bolt Caster in a supercharged slot with no upgrades on a C class multi-tool, because Sentinels start scaling up quickly when you upgrade your multi-tool/weapon. After that, I collect Neutron Cannon upgrades (there are two S class on the expedition path, and 1 A class) then I switch to a fully upgraded Neutron Cannon (learned at the Anomaly) and laugh as I two shot a group of 6 sentinels.

• For Grounded, a Lush world is any world that has Star Bulb listed as a plant. There are several along the expedition path.

• You cannot claim any sentinel interceptors you find. Just put a base down and come back to get it when the expedition is over (your base will show up in your primary save).

• Hitchhiking can be hard depending on your system. Keep in mind it's optional and the reward isn't great.

• For Stardiving, fly to a planet and just when it says entering atmosphere, stop, jump out the back of your ship and jet pack all the way down for 60 seconds. Keep some Chromatic Metal on you so you can craft a Orbital Uplink and quickly go back to the space station and your ship.

• 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.

• Never land your ship. Instead just teleport down, makes things a lot faster (left red button).

• You can expand your corvette's tech slots by removing all the parts that cause tech modules to appear in the tech slots, filling your tech slots up with any cheap tech modules, then putting all your corvette parts back on. It will expand your tech slots permanently.

• If you started the expedition from an existing save, when you've finished all the require milestones, but before you end the expedition completely, you can switch to your primary save, copy your ship via the expedition terminal (it will cost nanites), then return to the expedition, take your ship apart and send all the parts back to yourself via the terminal.

• You can't take your egg back to your primary save, but it will be available to claim at the QuickSilver vendor.

• For Silent Running, grow Frostwort, it is the quickest growing plant. This expedition makes plants grow 5x faster, so it's only 12 minutes to grow one. You can find the ingredients on cold planets.

• You can use the bugged sentinels to your advantage when you're just gathering resources. All you have to do is kill the summoner and healers and the other sentinels will fly off and leave you alone (while this bug exists).

• Once you mark Salvageable Scrap on your scanner, you can just shoot it with your ship without having to get out.

• Try not to leave anything in your ship's refiner before warping. There is a long-standing bug with refiners which can make all the contents disappear when warping (same for freighters).

[fringe agate]

Quite the list, much appreciated

[quaint turtle]

🙏🏻

[solemn bane]

I'm fairly obsessed with this expedition for some reason. Doing my fourth run now, lol.

[finite rover]

got hit by the last point in the corvette. irritating.

[fierce robin]

Gosh I needed this. Thanks!

[fringe agate]

Thank the author @solemn bane
I wouldn't have known most of that

[fleet monolith]

👍

[solemn bane]

Now if there were only a way to keep the three places it's posted in sync 😅

[hoary grove]

Can't build anything on my ship anymore all of a sudden, I'm on the shield installation mission, nothing snaps in place

If I pull out an existing piece and try to attach it that does not work either

It's just constantly red and floats

[frozen laurel]

Are you over the part count?

[hoary grove]

No

[frozen laurel]

Cycle snap and free placement.

[lament oyster]

Does the number of players in a station/system speeds up the rotation of NPC's starships? I saw an exotic twice in a few minutes. It was buzzing with take off and landings. Outside the expedition, same station, NPC activity is normal, very slow :/

[solemn bane]

Turn off multiplayer, restart game.

[hoary grove]

Restart fixed it, thanks

[solemn bane]

I cannot stress enough how much I love the Orbital Uplink. I don't even take the time to dock at space stations anymore. I just warp to the system and uplink, lol.

[west forum]

I love seeing how fast people can complete expeditions and all the fun tricks and tips, but personally I like taking them slow and enjoying the journey.

So here's to my 3-day expedition run and everyone else who COULD do them fast if we wanted to. We just don't. 😄

[solemn bane]

I made up for doing it quickly by doing it four times, lol.

[west forum]

I don't like starting over, which is why I enjoy expeditions so much. Gives all the fun of starting over without really doing it, my main still gets the benefits.

[solemn bane]

Yeah, that's my main draw with expeditions, starting from "scratch" each time and building back up (then sending my haul back to my main).

[neon coral]

Does anyone have the corvette refiner

Willing to setup trade time

[west forum]

It's a great mechanic. I still am playing the same save I started in 2016. Starting new games to me feels like I'm doing extra work all over again and not getting anything out of it, so expiditions are great.

I suppose it's the difference between people who are goal orientated and people who are jopurney orientated. I want my rewards, the journey is just something I slog through to get it. 🙂

[west forum]

You can just build one, you only need the materials.

[neon coral]

Forgot how to make hydraulic wong

*wong

[wraith junco]

Some task will give u some. Check discovery tab

[vestal prawn]

definietly not the best stuff to bring out of the expedition, but it's nice

[west forum]

Are the external windows overlap fixed in the steam experimental version? They look awful when you put 2 next to each other currently.

[solemn bane]

The Pile of Junk MKIV

[remote thunder]

@solemn bane do we have proof of a sentinel boundary chart dropping from salvageable scrap?

they can drop from buried caches - but not from salvageable scrap, afaik.

[solemn bane]

Yeah I got one yesterday without trying

[remote thunder]

hmm..

ok then.

[solemn bane]

Do I have the wrong name maybe? The stuff that drops the corvette parts. Is it not these?

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

[remote thunder]

yes, these are the ones i'm referring to. i was not aware that sentinel boundary chart had been added to this reward pool, tbh it still doesn't make any sense to me that they have but i'll believe you.

[faint mesa]

Could it be an expedition-only mechanic?

[solemn bane]

Yeah I had no idea. Someone here mentioned it, it became part of the common advice and everyone seemed to be able to get one pretty easily. Then I happened to get one when I was doing my routine expedition run and did the milestone to open 5 containers.

[remote thunder]

possibly

[west forum]

I get boundray charts in salvagable scrap in my main save too

[faint mesa]

Oh. Interesting

[remote thunder]

ok cool, i'll believe you

[forest grotto]

so recently got the game, played the expedition, took me almost 30 hours to complete, and i now find out i will not be able to transfer over my ship?

[remote thunder]

you didnt start from existing save

[solemn bane]

The good news is you've got another 30 hours of gameplay left

[forest grotto]

Yea but the game didn't tell me i needed to do that. I dont get to use my ship in all other saves simple because i started the expedition from a new save?

[signal lion]

That really is an excellent list. Especially a few of those like the tech slots & frostwort tips 💯🏆

[remote thunder]

you just build other ships in your other save, it doesn't really matter

building corvettes isn't an exp only thing

[sterile stone]

how can i go to 2f guys

[signal lion]

Excellent tips!!!

[solemn bane]

@remote thunder I think I got this one from you way back in the day. I just did it four times so I'm pretty sure it's right, but does it sound right to you?

For an easier Derelict Freighter run (no infected nests), return to the first system (Space Station Killur VII Platform)

(I got the same one 4 times, which was just the little turrets and drones)

[west forum]

What you can do iss takee off all the parts of yoru Corvette and transfer theem back to your save. You can't get ALL of the parts sbecause you still need it to be able to fly to get you back to the hub, but you can get mosst of it and rebuilld it in your main. I agree it's a pain and i wish they would just let you copy it.

[remote thunder]

interior DF layout is fixed per system, yes (iirc, there's 1+n layouts per system, where N is the nr of moons in the system)

[signal lion]

I think they mean they started a whole new save file — not the same as starting expedition on an existing save file (there is sometimes confusion about what is meant by “primary save”)

[west forum]

An, no easy way then

[signal lion]

One thing you could do is just turn on no-cost/creative mode on your main save and build the same corvette that way. It gives you access to all parts. No planet hopping required.

[hoary grove]

Okay I finished the expedition! Got the egg! Do I hatch it or how do I end expedition and carry the egg etc to main save?

[solemn bane]

I was worried I may have been wrong about this one, but I just tested it with a bunch of ornaments and trails and sure enough I got a whole new line of tech slots. In all I think I got two rows of extra tech slots.

You can expand your corvette's tech slots by removing all the parts that cause tech modules to appear in the tech slots, filling your tech slots up with any cheap tech modules, then putting all your corvette parts back on. It will expand your tech slots permanently.

[solemn bane]

You can't bring pets or eggs back, but you can claim the egg at the quicksilver vendor on your primary save

[hoary grove]

Man that lost Freighter exploration mission was intense

I am at the anomaly how do I end and how do I bring my ship and tool and upgrades back to main?

[solemn bane]

Expedition terminal, where you started the expedition if you started it from an existing save. If not I got some bad news for you.

[forest grotto]

😭 lay it on me like butter on bread chief

[hoary grove]

Yeah I started from the terminal I'm kinda confused there are very little slots but I don't see any explicit option for shop and tool

[solemn bane]

If you need more than the allotted slots, you can fill it up, save, switch to your primary save and get all the stuff in the terminal, then switch back

[remote thunder]

no, this works, yes

[hoary grove]

Thanks I'll try this out

[solemn bane]

Basically if you didn't start the expedition from an existing save you can't send your stuff back or copy your whip/multi-tool.

Oh shit I spent too long in the corvette editor interface, I'm dizzy and I feel like I'm gonna barf, lol.

[remote thunder]

but I don't see any explicit option for shop and tool
the copy ship/MT buttons will be visible once you've returned/are "primary save side"

[hoary grove]

I am primary save side now

It's asking for nanites to copy tool and ship

What will happen to ship cargo?

[remote thunder]

yes, intended

not transferred

only ship, ship stats and tech inv

[hoary grove]

I haven't ended yet, only switched, I don't think it lets you bring items over without ending

[remote thunder]

correct, you need to unlock the slots first

complete and claim all non opt milestones

[mellow badge]

I could transfer nothing because I started from new game not from existing save

[remote thunder]

correct

[gilded raft]

My game keeps telling me to land on a derelict freighter but I don't have the scanner in my inventory. I tried going to space stations to get one but it's not giving me one. Am I hosed or do I need to wait longer? I have finished up to phase 3.

[remote thunder]

phase 5 milestone 3, complete and claim it, disable mp, use scanner

[mellow badge]

you can get one from Anomaly from that one traveler that gives nanites for discovery data (I think)

[remote thunder]

nah, just get 1 from p5m3 reward

[gilded raft]

Good deal!! Thanks!

[mellow badge]

I got Phase 5 Milestone 3, because I got a scanner from black market dealer, and used it

[gilded raft]

Yeah I tried that too but he only gave me nanites.

[mellow badge]

credits were very easy to get in this expedition

[remote thunder]

helios only gives 1 free per week, after player has completed at least 1 DF mission with that save

[gilded raft]

Ah right that explains it. This is a new save I made.

[hoary grove]

Anyone wanna help me with the hitchhiking mission, last one left

Spoiler!!!

Really liked how the last act with the station core was uploading uplink blueprint fragments as "assistance"

Full circle lol

[remote thunder]

to be clear, this milestone is optional, it is not required to complete the expedition

[dawn sparrow]

So what do I need to have done before I can attempt 19, and can I use the corvette I built already for it or no?

[remote thunder]

not sure if we can copy in corvettes, but tbh, that's what this expedition is about, corvettes. check pinned posts for tips and tricks, as well as what resources/items to bring in to help. ofc, remember, this is only possible if you start from existing save.

[distant wadi]

eerm, do i have to farm money to make the corvette in the expedition?

[dawn sparrow]

Thanks mate

[solemn bane]

You don't need to do anything, but taking a Sentinel Boundary Map can help.

[hard glade]

if you want MORE than the expedition provides then yes. But there are salvage planets through the phases you need. Besides that the Phase milestones also reward Corvette parts

[solemn bane]

Along with disallowing claiming any ships, they also disallow copying of any ships of any kind, including corvettes.

[distant wadi]

i just used the teleport to space station and i dont know what to do know since i got practically nothing

[remote thunder]

ah cool yeah i remembered this but was second guessing myself now

[solemn bane]

Pause and check the expedition tab

[dawn sparrow]

I have like 20 from farming the salvage containers. I’ve been trying to get a brain so I can get the darn sentinel interceptors

[distant wadi]

is 1400 units enough for the entire corvette? 😸

[remote thunder]

look at milestones, milestone rewards - milestone rewards help 1) progress in general 2) complete other milestones

[distant wadi]

alr ok

[distant wadi]

thanks

[hard glade]

Lmao no. Phase one should be enough to get a corvette started

[faint mesa]

Thanks for the tips by the way! May have convinced me to start from my main save 😅

[distant wadi]

could've never figured that out without asking lmao

[solemn bane]

Yeah sorta since it's free, heh.

[solemn bane]

Hm, I should put that in my tips, since it comes up a LOT

[faint mesa]

Possibly. Few players were wondering why they couldn't bring stuff from the expedition back to their saves -- turns out they had started new saves

[remote thunder]

this is still bothering me a bit

so, not only sent charts, but also walker brains?

from salvageable scrap?

@dawn sparrow we can't have non corvette ships in exp19

[wraith badge]

they could be on about the Hylene brain, or whatever it's called

[remote thunder]

well, the comment they're replying to talks about sentinel boundary charts

[wraith badge]

don't you get the brain from a monolith ?

[remote thunder]

hyaline brain from ship, take it to marked monolith, get harmonic brain from monolith, yes

[mellow badge]

I had gotten a hyaline brain after destroying the interceptors for that milestone

[hoary grove]

So all tech in my tool will auto carry over when I copy it with nanites or do I have to pack and then move?

[solemn bane]

It'll all copy over

[torpid oracle]

Well, I think so far Cartographer is my least favorite expedition lol. I just finished it and IDK if it has to do with the planet I started on but that was not fun

[red ingot]

Not sure how many pictures of my corvette I'll need to take to finally register the goal.

[solemn bane]

Easily my favorite one, lmao. I love "one planet challenge" gimmicks

[mellow badge]

I took one, I was far enough back to get whole thing, and I was flying it through space at the time

[solemn bane]

You on console? If so you have to do it a specific way.

[chilly kayak]

What should I be bringing with me on this new expedition?

[torpid oracle]

I think I might've enjoyed it more if I had a little more luck, but I spent 30min going to a trade outpost because my signal booster wouldn't cooperate. That put a sour taste in my mouth.

[torpid oracle]

A sentinel map is the most important thing

[red ingot]

I'm on PC. Taken them in air and on ground but they don't count.

[solemn bane]

Sentinel Boundary Map. Not much else is really useful.

[hoary grove]

I cannot select the egg, it greyed out. I can get it from the quicksilver guy even if I don't hatch it now correct?

[remote thunder]

enter photo mode, take screenshot with platform screenshot tool, not photomode cap button. if your share is set to auto upload, make it not do that

[chilly kayak]

What is the map? I've been away for a while

[remote thunder]

yes, and exp19 companion laying eggs are bugged for everyone

[torpid oracle]

If you don't have one to take with you then you can get one in the expedition from the salvageable scrap

[red ingot]

I didn't try the Steam deck screenshot. Was using in game photo tool.

[solemn bane]

Turn off multiplayer, restart the game, try again.

[remote thunder]

use steam overlay yes

[red ingot]

OK, will try with steam. I turned off MP after a couple hours because it was intolerablely buggy

[chilly kayak]

I also missed the last 2 expeditions do they re do those at xmas?

[remote thunder]

exp17 and 18 will most likely be rerun later this year, if devs stick to rerun patterns so far

it's possible that another, pre 2025 expedition could get rerun as well, we dont know

[chilly kayak]

That's good to hear. Im not good with discord and managed to mute my notifications for this server and never knew the last 2 happened

[remote thunder]

you're good

will still get another chance

[chilly kayak]

Good they were the first 2 I missed

I only play when an expedition comes out because I have so many other games I need to play. But I love doing the expeditions

[hoary grove]

I copied the starship but don't see it in the ship list

[remote thunder]

if you added it to collection it should be there under quick menu/summon/swap

[hoary grove]

Yes my bad, see it now

[solemn bane]

Man, so PC/Steam has a way to bug screenshot missions, too? Lawd this game, lol.

[remote thunder]

yeah, it's kinda weird too, because for some players, using photo mode's button does work, or has worked at some point in time

[hoary grove]

If I don't collect the egg it will always stay there right? Or is it time bound?

[solemn bane]

It'll stay

[faint mesa]

If I take a screenshot with the mouse (not Steam's hotkey), it saves two screenshots, one jpg for Steam, one png in NMS's folder... missions usually do work this way

Oh, changed color.

[hard glade]

Excuse my newbieism. I have a question regarding expeditions as this is my first one. Is it normal to be able to complete milestones outside of the phase I am currently working through? A couple of times now I've completed milestones in Phase 5 or 4 while have been in phase 2.

[solemn bane]

Yep.

[torpid oracle]

Very normal

Almost expected at times ngl

[hard glade]

Word. Much appreciated

[regal cloud]

Anyone knows how to remove a regular portable refiner from your corvette?

[hard glade]

Corvette Building menu.

On controller it's up on D-pad

[regal cloud]

on pc but it worked C-X

ty!

[hoary grove]

Donated the lost crew logs to the envoy over on my main save

And with that, my first ever NMS is complete!

Thank you so much @solemn bane @remote thunder and anyone else incase I lost track of ya

[rapid panther]

Hey guys, I just finished my Expedition. Can I play the event again and transfer the item to my main save?

[solemn bane]

I assume you mean you started the expedition on a new save? If so, yes, you can switch to your other save and start the expedition from the expedition terminal behind the Nexus on the Anomaly and be able to transfer items/copy your ship/multitool after you've completed it.

[cinder slate]

Yay beat the expedition in 3 hours and 7 minutes

[bronze fractal]

so started the expediton got ingridents for refiner to make chromatic metal but cant find anywhere to lay recyler down as everywhere seems to be someones base!!!

[remote thunder]

quick menu/scroll right/report base

[turbid folio]

The red structure icon, it appears and is "off planet"
anyone know what ti is, i tried finding it in space but it isnt there

[remote thunder]

just a bug, ignore it, nothing there

[turbid folio]

ok! :)

[bronze fractal]

yeah knew could do that didnt really want to though

[remote thunder]

do so, it doesn't actually report them

it'll just despawn the base for you

[wispy gust]

i swear, does anyone have got a sentinel map in the expedition mode

i looked for 5 hours

killed many fcking sentinels and still nothing

[rocky fern]

I went to a Station then teleported to a Sentinel Pillar.

[vapid heron]

nothing from shattered glass?

[remote thunder]

in that rendezvous system, goto station teleporter, look at other player bases, see if there's any that say "sentinel pillar" or "sentinel nest" in their name

[wispy gust]

oh thanks

that helps alot

[remote thunder]

teleport to it, interact with pillar terminal, shutdown

[wispy gust]

yep

opened like 20

thanks

[bronze fractal]

its not working

[remote thunder]

more bases around, probably

keep rechecking quick menu

once there's no base to report left, try again

may need to save+reload after reporting last

keeping multiplayer disabled will probably help

[wispy gust]

thanks i found a base which is near a pillar

[vapid heron]

if there are too many, can always drop out of multiplayer for a bit

[bronze fractal]

gonna have to cause reporting it and the same base shows up again and again

[wispy gust]

thanks for the help!

[fringe star]

Word of warning, looks like a bug if you conduct a trade for a corvette part with full inventory your trade doesn't go into the corvette cache, just disappears

[bronze fractal]

finally got there allowed me to put refiner down

[prime solar]

Got a question for the veterans in the group.
Is there any way to play previous expeditions?

[exotic mica]

They re-run selective ones at the end of the year but not all of them

[faint mesa]

No official way to play old ones; it's possible with mods if you are on PC

[prime solar]

Oh cool. Am enjoying the current one though I haven't advanced much yet, so think I'd enjoy trying out previous ones.
Guess I'll have to look forward to December

[prime solar]

Isn't that considered hacking/exploit by devs?

[remote thunder]

devs dont care much, as long as you're not affecting anyone else

you do you

[prime solar]

Cool to know

[delicate solstice]

Apparently if you start the expedition without having a save prior you can not get any other ships besides the corvette

[karmic hollow]

It doesn't matter if you have a save prior or not, it's one of the gimmicks of this expedition

[languid spoke]

^ even if you start from a save you cannot copy in a ship

[delicate solstice]

Gotcha so you cant get any new ships while we are doing it

[karmic hollow]

Correct, gotta upgrade and build out your corvette

[delicate solstice]

Rip so now I have to wait 6 weeks to be able to get ships or finish the whole expedition

[warm hamlet]

On the step “install corvette modules to increase shields” am I mistaken that the expedition has only rewarded me with 2/3 required shield modules? Do I need to go farming for a third?

[vapid heron]

expedition is quite easy to get through

[vapid heron]

you could trade for the parts you need...

[prisma tundra]

afaik, you can only send things to an expedition save once, I did try this during relics, I could pull things out of the terminal from primary save (not ending, just switching to), but not put things back in, tho copying over the corvette to extract parts is a good shout

[prisma tundra]

you can buy some

[warm sigil]

The lore reason is that Sentinels have restricted starship trading.

[remote thunder]

started from existing save? you could save, options/return to primary, leaving exp char open

[remote thunder]

putting items into exp terminus inventory while exp side requires completing and claiming all non optional milestones

[languid spoke]

and once you are done with all the expedition milestones you can bring out all corvette parts you want as long as you don't finalize the completion of the expedition

[prisma tundra]

yes I know, I meant on primary save side, that only happens once, before starting expedition, you can't go primary save to expedition save for items even after completing all milestones & unlocking the terminal, only go into expedition save with items once, can only remove them after that

[remote thunder]

i didnt' see anywhere on gleam/cwmonkey post that it said that we could do that

you put items in, start expedition, unlock anomaly, take items out - yes, that doesn't unlock cargo slots again

all normal there

cant go back to primary and add more items

[prisma tundra]

it seemed like the post was implying that breaking down the ship into parts could have the parts sent back into expedition, which isn't possible

I could've been misreading tho

[remote thunder]

wdym - cant you put corvette parts into expedition terminus at the end, once its inv slots are unlocked?

that's what they're saying

you copy the ship first if you want to keep it, if you want the parts you used just delete them exp side, and put them into exp terminus to bring back

[prisma tundra]

right, I likely misread then, cause saying to return to primary save, copy ship, and break down for parts felt like all on primary save, not in expedition

[delicate solstice]

I did not i started a new game on my pc right with the expedition

I originally played on xbox

[remote thunder]

well, you could finish early and convert to normal right now

once you claim all milestones, optionals not required, you can just go to anomaly, and end it

[delicate solstice]

Im working on trying to beat it all now

[sour harness]

i need chromatic metal but i cant build portable refiner cus no edit permission , so HOW DO i get it ? i need it to craft the orbital uplink

[hollow shore]

Move away from the area until you are able to build it

You may be near a base preventing you to place it?

[sour harness]

i did .... its most of the starting planet of the expedition i cant do shiyt

[hollow shore]

Disable multiplayer, then check again. If prevented, check the quick menu to see if you can report a base, which will make it disappear for you. Should be able to have any obstructions removed to place eventually

[sour harness]

how do i disable multiplayer ?

[hollow shore]

Check the game options > Network settings

Do let us know if the issue persists

[sour harness]

yeah i cant do anything what is the range of a base? that it wont allow me to edit i mean

[hollow shore]

A base starts with a 300u radius, but can be expanded upto 1000u radius, but only with small areas around objects placed.

Can you do me a favour and provide a screenshot from when you are trying to place the refiner? Showing the message you get?

[grand ingot]

so I am compiling a list of items for my future expeditions, what should I carry in the limited slots for the trip?

[sour harness]

people placed bases near where the starships where you need to repair and i cant place anything

[hollow shore]

There may be some info pinned in this channel you likely find useful

[sour harness]

also i dont think i can send pictures yet

[hollow shore]

There is not a single starting place, but yes, everyone does start on the same planet, with their ship at a crash site.

[hollow shore]

If not here, you sure can in #nms-questions . If need be we can move there

[sour harness]

wait maybe i can sec

[warm hamlet]

Do I need to group up to do that “ride on someone’s corvette” step? Or just jump on a random?

[sour harness]

now i found a spot i can place it thnx anyways

[hollow shore]

Grouping is not required, but another players, yes

[vapid heron]

nopem, just jump in back and hope it doesnt bug

[rapid panther]

awesome

[hollow shore]

Glad you found a spot, safe travels, enjoy

[turbid folio]

ugh did they make the raids harder w/ the stupid sentinals? i cant even survive bc i cant kill anything, the damn repair ones are annoying, the robots keep hiding miles away, idek i am so frustrated

[vapid knot]

Guys i finished my expedition and want to copy my corvette to my primary save. But i can't do it cause my primary save don't have enough nanites. Is there another way to take my corvette to primary save?

[turbid folio]

How many nanites are you short?

Might be good just finding planets and scanning fauna to get ~1200-2500 nanites

[grand ingot]

alright i have four more tech slots to fill

[agile venture]

i got 2 questions, how to get to the space anomaly to get my things i saved, and its telling me to build a corvette even though i have one and now i cant continue the quest

[hollow shore]

No, you will need the Nanites for that. Maybe you can get some more first?

[vapid heron]

loads of methods to get nanites, and there is no rush to get the corvette, it'll be available until the next Expedition overwrites it

[turbid folio]

Fair! Tbh that's just my preferred method lol

[grand ingot]

too bad i cant go back after i finished, i forgot to empty out my freighter cache before returning to normal

[vapid heron]

oops, i believe your inventory gets converted to units/nanites, not a complete loss

[vapid knot]

What if i end the expedition and get those nanites from the expedition?

[vapid heron]

doesnt matter how you get the nanites, as long as you have enough to make the transaction, if you made them in the expedition all good

[vapid knot]

So it's possible? Cause this is my first expedition, i don't know how much nanites will transfer to primary save

[hollow shore]

If that would be enough, you can finish and then interact once more to get the ship

[runic latch]

will you ever get the ability to buy ships?

in this expedition?

non-corvette

[hollow shore]

No, it is made to require use of a corvette.

[vapid knot]

I have 2k nanites and 1k in my primary, if i end the expedition, these 2k nanites will transfer to primary save?

[vapid heron]

i got throught the expedition in about 6-8 hrs and came out with 8-9k nanite, more than enough to copy the multitool (not really worth tbh) and the corvette together

[runic latch]

makes sense, but wow is it frustrating when I don't have enough space...

[vapid knot]

I guess i missed everything, i only have 2k nanites in expedition

[runic latch]

I suppose I could just build storage modules in the corvette

[vapid heron]

!faq-nanites, a few pointers to help earn some more if you dont ahve enough to cover when you finish up with the expedition

[hollow shore]

@vapid knot Just make sure you got plenty, to prevent any surprises

[vapid heron]

some objectives will reward you with extra storage expansion modules

[vapid knot]

Question. If i decide to not copy the ship, are the modules getting sold after i end the expedition?

[vapid heron]

on the ship? no, they stay on the ship

[vapid knot]

and if i store them to my inventory?

[agile venture]

IS there anyway to delete my corvette in the expedition?

i bugged the questline

[vapid knot]

will the corvette convert into units?

[vapid heron]

if you store them in you rinventory you can transfer up to 8 tech modules and 24 inventory items at expedition end.

[vapid heron]

you can edit the corvette to your hearts delight as often as you like

[agile venture]

yeah but that doesnt help, i need to build a new one because i accidentally did the questline in the wrong order and i need to build one

[vapid heron]

explain pleasde

[agile venture]

it says to do the mission corvette building or wtv in this mission, but i already finished building the corvette and got the quest done

and now the icon to build one on the workshop is here after i claimed smth on expedition tab

here,

[vapid heron]

use the teleporters to get there

[foggy arrow]

hey all. I just got to the station and went to grab a coffee, then I found 90 exosuit expansion slots in my backpack. lol.

[agile venture]

ship architecture,
design and build a corvette
WHICh i cant bc as you can see i have one

[vapid heron]

lucky you, some one looked kindly on you while you were away

[foggy arrow]

yeah thanks benevolent soul whoever you were.

[vapid heron]

buy the next cheapest starship that comes into the station, then you'll be able to build another

thats about the easiest workaround i can think of atm

[livid karma]

Is it the first step?
Cuz I can't tell if you have 2 thrusters and I think you need to place 2

[agile venture]

i thought u cant buy them on expedition i tried to at the start and the option didnt exist

i mean ill try again

[vapid heron]

you're on the expedition?

[agile venture]

YES

but i cant progress it

[livid karma]

Did you place all the parts it requires?
I think it makes you use a certain amount of like landing gear and stuff but I could be completely wrong

[agile venture]

yup i had to, otherwise i wouldnt have been able to build it

[vapid heron]

did you place the interior modules it asks for?

[agile venture]

yup

[vapid heron]

the mission radar?

[agile venture]

ye thats the only one it asked me to do

[vapid heron]

do yu have parts left over?

[agile venture]

rn i do but i rebuild the entire thing, before that, i had built it with every part in the shop except deco

[vapid heron]

try reloading the game, it might help

[agile venture]

i put it in english now, as you can see its telling me to select corvette assembly but that quest does not exist anymore bc i have done it

[agile venture]

pc restarted steam restarted loaded save everything

[vapid heron]

is this a fresh save file? if it is just delete it and start a new one

if not, i can't help sorry

[agile venture]

well my save file isnt but the expedition is can i just restart that?

[vapid heron]

sadly no cant just restart, at least i dont think so

[agile venture]

hm, do you know anyone that could help?

[livid karma]

Can you turn a ship back into parts and build a new one?

[vapid heron]

not atm

try edit the corvette, remove all the pieces and confirm the build. then rebuild it, could work.

[agile venture]

it does infact not work

[livid karma]

I hadn't tried in the expedition but can you build another corvette?

[vapid heron]

that was his original question

i'm not sure that you can while in the expedition

[livid karma]

Oh my bad

[foggy arrow]

are pirate stations bugged? I can't enter them with corvette.

[agile venture]

Nope

[foggy arrow]

I literally had to exit the corvette at the entrance and fly in with spacesuit

[vapid heron]

if you're having trouble docking either wait or leave multiplayer

[foggy arrow]

got in via spacewalk

[vapid heron]

or EVA in like kilmar suggested, it works too

[livid karma]

Yeah especially the rendezvous points
Kept clipping into the station lol

[foggy arrow]

also pirate stations are missing corvette teleport points

in both expeditions and normal gameplay

[dawn hill]

can I ride in someones corvette for the hitchhiker task

[vapid heron]

just climb on any random ship, its that easy

[dawn hill]

true hopefully theres some in the anamoly

[sturdy barn]

do you keep the used augemntation upgrades from the expedition?

[vapid heron]

use them and lose them to the expedition, no you dont get to keep them, you can if you dont use them

[sturdy barn]

what about my multitool?

[vapid heron]

you can make a copy of your multi tool after you finish the expedition

[sturdy barn]

both of them?

[vapid heron]

@sturdy barn only the one you had equipped at the end

[agile venture]

No more Expedition it is

[vapid heron]

sorry to hear, and sorry i couldnt be more help

[agile venture]

Dw, ty anyway, someone said maybe with update itll be fixed

[copper jacinth]

so, the expedition worked like a charm. I had n o need to come seek help here this time, no hacks or nmsse edits required. still, wanted to drop in in appreciation of the fantastic community support here, every expedition tirelessly troubleshooting stuff. thats all. love yall to bits

[vapid heron]

agreed, had some help here myself in a previous expedition

[oak kiln]

Is it me or is the derelict milestone bugged

[olive salmon]

Ummm I dont think this how landing is suppose to go.

[smoky sable]

does anyone have a solution for this bugged milestone
I disabled multiplayer, reloaded saves with it disabled, tried adding bought habs or habs gained from other milestones, nothing worked

[vapid heron]

some people have experienced some trouble with it, so you wouldnt be alone there

[oak kiln]

Great because I fully scavenged three derelicts and it hasn’t registered a single one

[agile venture]

I had a similar thing and i got told to wait for a patch of it

[vapid heron]

did you complete all the mission objectives, like the 3 terminals/teleporters and discover all locations?

[oak kiln]

Yes

[smoky sable]

thanks for the info, will wait with my exp save
having spent even 20 euro on this studio was a mistake, not gonna make it again

[indigo falcon]

having multiplayer off for those derelict runs can help

[vapid heron]

i guess, you're joining a lot of folks waiting for a patch

[agile venture]

What did u even buy i thought there isnt any in game shop

[indigo falcon]

tere is no in game shop with items for real money. there is a quicksilver vendor, and quicksilver is only obtained via gameplay (no pay to get)

[sturdy barn]

so before I complete, just sell all the cargo and others stuff?

[vapid heron]

a minor inconvenience, and for 20 euro a good deal considering you've clearly been around the discord for a while.

[mellow badge]

did you discover your own derelicts or did you explore ones other players already found?

[agile venture]

I Love the game and i dont have it for long, watched it on yt alot lol its totally worth it

[vapid heron]

3 derelicts and no completion trigger

[oak kiln]

Do I have to find entirely new systems to get it to work

[vapid heron]

you shouldnt need to

[mellow badge]

does not make sense, did you have the milestone selected/active? I got the milestone easy, I used the emergency signal thing to find a derelict and explored it, looted everything, did the 3 terminals, and sold the manifest, turned in the captains log

[oak kiln]

Well now I have to buy new emergency signals

[mellow badge]

dig up corvette parts and sell em, quick cash

[vapid heron]

even if another player had visited the only thing missing would be loot, the terminals/teleporters woiuld still trigger

[oak kiln]

Another few hours of grinding! Hurray

[mellow badge]

so far every person saying the Derelict Milestone not completing, tried getting it by exploring one that another player "discovered" first

[oak kiln]

You shouldn’t need to fly to an undiscovered system to complete the mission

[mellow badge]

multiplayer been bugging everything in this expedition

[vapid heron]

its a possibility, i'm not saying you're wrong

[thick umbra]

It's a general rule... no missions in MP... except Nexus missions.

[mellow badge]

its a pattern I noticed

[vapid heron]

thankfully i got through the expedition unscathed, unlike previous ones

[faint mesa]

I avoid even Nexus missions, had a few issues there too lol.

[marsh patrol]

guys, returning to the game after a few years. I have played like 50hours before. I want to make new start. SHould I rush things to join expedition or just chill and game in my own tempo? Seeing that the nuber of expedition is 19 I assume that there will be another soon anyway

[thick umbra]

Me too .. and if I need some more QS .. I always do them solo .. with MP off

[vapid heron]

you can totally start from an existing save

[faint mesa]

You can chill. Expedition will run for some 5 weeks.

[marsh patrol]

probably u are right

[marsh patrol]

ok thanks. What is this event anyway? where I can read about it?

[wraith junco]

In #bot-spam

[vapid heron]

its one of the easier expeditions i have done and less time consuming too

[thick umbra]

#nms-announcements message

[wraith junco]

Under !faq-expedition command

[steep ridge]

Hello friends, I want to buy the Blaze Javelin Blue Print, but EOS doesn't sell me the blueprint, it only sells upgrades. Do I have to do a special mission for this, or does it not sell normally?

I just started the game.

[copper jacinth]

new exp has the focus on the new ship type. so much so, that you cant use any other ship during the expedition (freighter excluded). So I personally would make a new save and get back into the zone if you know what I mean, and then start the new exp

[thick umbra]

That expedition is more a session where you learn how to build a corvette

[vapid heron]

there's no real need for combat in the expedition, wait until you've completed it

[wraith junco]

U will unlock anomaly (multiplayer hub ) at some point that will have the blueprint to unlock

[steep ridge]

The anomaly is already open, I'm there right now.

But chatgpt says you will get the blueprint from eos

EOS does not sell blueprints, it only sells upgrades.

[wraith junco]

Dont listen to chatgpt

[visual forge]

Need some help here, for the expidition, I am doing the Lost in Space and cant get it to complete. Has anyone else experienced this bug?

[steep ridge]

then what can i do

[visual forge]

expedition*

[low horizon]

can I copy my MT on this expedition? I can then copy it back later right? no need to remove all the mods on it?

or is that part not really ncessary for this expedition?

[wraith junco]

Check expedition tab. There should be a task that gives u blaze javelin

[wraith junco]

In the far back of anomaly on the right there should be a guy who sells mt blueprints.

[quiet jewel]

Whats the reward for the expedition?

[wraith junco]

Pet

[quiet jewel]

a pet?

[wraith junco]

Mech animal

[quiet jewel]

oof

[lilac dagger]

Corvette part 2 is gonna slap

[vapid heron]

you can copy it, you wont lose it on your main, but not necessary really, nice to have though

[spiral tinsel]

There's gonna be a part 2?

[lilac dagger]

I'm just sucking on this copium

I can see it though

[steep ridge]

thx for help

[vapid heron]

i can see some more cosmetics or some new modules coming at a later time, might get included in a future expedition

[dim laurel]

I'm sorta new to expeditions, does anyone know what rewards I can take to my main save? I've been building this ship out in the latest expedition but it's unclear if that's something I can take with me to my main save or not lol

[vapid heron]

the rewards are listed on the phase 1,2,3,4,5 objectives, you can also copy your multi-tool, ship and transfer 8 tech items and 24 inventory items at completion

[lilac dagger]

Same same

I think there will be tons of improvements and additions with corvettes and they'll want to flex it with another expedition

[vapid heron]

they keep cooking

[snow jay]

Am I the only one who has some of his plants vanish from time to time on living wall in expedition ?

[raven idol]

were you on a station?

[vapid heron]

its possibly a grpahical glitch, i had the same thing happen but was still able to harvest them

[snow jay]

wasn't graphical glitch, could not harvest, had to replant :/

[raven idol]

I have literally been on my ship in a station and harvested someone elses plants from their invisible ship

[snow jay]

it happened multiple times, but i'm not sure at which point exactly

oh, I don't worry about the harvest, the plant itself ran away :/

[vapid heron]

unlucky, sorry to hear

[snow jay]

it's not a catastrophe, more like an ongoing annoyance. Trying to narrow why it happens down.

[marsh breach]

so me and my friends just got the game, Can see the expedition in the anomly, is this something that a few newbies can get together and do ??

[raven idol]

the instancing in the stations where you build your corvette is borked and will have both ships in the same spot

[vapid heron]

probably the same way the corvette modules are glitching while building or trading

[faint mesa]

Don't do it together. 😅

MP on expeditions causes many issues.

[marsh breach]

oh is it a solo thing?

[mellow badge]

Multiplayer is very broken right now

[marsh breach]

I have no idea what it is, but i thought an expedition sounds like a mission of sorts XD

Am a complete newbie

[vapid heron]

absolutely newbies can do, but like Gabriel there say, some issues with the multiplayer atm

[mellow badge]

you get 5 phases of milestones (quests)

[faint mesa]

It's safer to do it solo. You have the option to go on multiplayer, but it's not recommended

[snow jay]

If you just got the game, maybe you want to start the new save with the expedition. at the end of which your save will just become normal and you will keep everything you have obtained during latest one.
About the expedition itself, started myself at the day of expedition. It's not a "Very hard place to go" it's more of a fast track about new content and a good demonstration of gameplay and all of the game's features. I would highly recommend to start in expedition actually.

[mellow badge]

kinda like a tutorial thing for advanced nms logic

[marsh breach]

ye i figured that out, one second i was standing on the Anomoly and the next i was standing on someones ship in space XD

[cinder bear]

I somehow have non-part items in my workshop cache and I can't seem to get them out, couple cakes and pure ferrite. The icons are grayed out. Anyone know how to remove them?

[vapid heron]

consider them dead slots, for the timebeing

[sturdy barn]

how do i end the expedition to get my items?

[vapid heron]

terminal in the anomaly

[vivid loom]

I am at the expedition terminus. For those who have completed the expedition or are on track to complete it soon, what would be the best additional starting equipment items you would take along with you in order to get the expedition done as fast as possible?

[snow jay]

Probably a very newbie question, but why would you want to finish it as fast as possible?

[vapid heron]

i went in with nothing and 6-8hrs some have done it quicker with nothing

[sturdy barn]

terminal terminus?

[vapid heron]

veteran players will have already built ships and are keen for the rewards

[snow jay]

That is actually fair.

[vapid heron]

interchangeable, same thign

[snow jay]

What will happen to freighter I got in expedition?

[thick umbra]

definitely 🙂

[vapid heron]

feighter will be gone, items on board will be converted to units/nanites

[snow jay]

did I wasted my "first freighter free" bonus on the expedition or I get another chance in "normal" space?

[sturdy barn]

no wonder i forgot to claim a reward

[vapid heron]

you'll get another chance in a regular game

[snow jay]

thank you :)

[vapid heron]

🤪

[raven idol]

Would it be better to start a new game for after finishing the expedition or does it all work fine with the 300+ hour saves?

[vapid heron]

there are some issues with teh expedition, it might be safer to start a new game if your not worried about item transfer or have some helpful friends

[raven idol]

what are these friends you speak of? Not on nms lul

[vapid heron]

my save was safe but its not a garauntee

[raven idol]

I have a couple really new saves, I dont mind starting a new one for the transfer either

[bold scaffold]

the first exotic ship i've ever actually seen and it's in the expedition so i dont have enough to buy it 😭

[raven idol]

I have my main save from the beginning of the game that may cause issues though

[vapid heron]

you wouldnt be able to as part of the expedition lore anyways

its why starting ship is abandoned in the first place

[snow jay]

the same way you can't claim the sentinel interceptor on the planet

[vapid heron]

lorewise there shouldn't be any ships flying into the stations other than the player corvettes

[lofty shoal]

I want to say there is a video but it was gold, silver, and something else I can’t remember off the top of my head. Basically it was materials to make the required constructions easier. If you DM me I can go through my YouTube history and grab you the video.

[novel idol]

when i dont need one it shows up LMAO lovely

Does anyone need one?

[delicate solstice]

Any recommendations for derelict freighter? I accidently sold my thing and its the last mission I have

[vapid heron]

if you remeber the start system, take a trip back and pulse around, it might trigger without it. luckily it triggered through all systems even after completing it

[novel idol]

I need so much oxygen lmao

wtf

[delicate solstice]

I have no idea i got it days ago lol

[novel idol]

aint been getting none from the trees that claim to give me some

[vapid heron]

trees mostly give carbon

[novel idol]

what would yield the most oxy

[vapid heron]

as a secondary element you wont get much

[wraith junco]

Not like u need large amount of oxy to complete the exp

[vapid heron]

the dangerous plants would yeild more, the one that attack if you get too close

[novel idol]

over like 200 id say

I had to restart my exp cuz i messed up and did it another save fiule

[wraith junco]

There is lush planet around rdv 2 i think. So it should be easy to get oxy there

And there is plenty dangerous flora in starter planet.

[woven shadow]

Starting the new Expedition!

[novel idol]

noo my warp cell :(

okay wtf

Do i get close to it

[wraith junco]

No risk no fun

[novel idol]

got a point

but seriously what is this

[sharp fern]

Is there a limitation in the expedition that you can only trade aesthetic corvette modules? I have several functional modules (landing gear, hab modules) that I would like to trade, but it is not showing them, as available for trade. I assume it is an expedition related thing, I just want to make sure I'm not just missing something.

[novel idol]

I also dont need it anymoer :(

[wraith junco]

Only expedition exclusive corvette module is the canon

[novel grove]

no purpose it just flashes you

its the same bio horror as in water worlds near abandoned structures

[sharp fern]

Assuming that was a reply to me, I am not talking about expedition exclusive stuff, I am in the Corvette Designer, trying to trade for other modules. None of my functional modules are showing up as available for trade, despite being in my exosuit inventory.

[limpid hornet]

How long does the corvette expiditon take

[marsh breach]

Does this mean after the expeditoon i wont have the things i have in my main save? or when i leave i can go back to my main save and use the things i got in the exepdition

[novel grove]

to complete? 5 hours max if youre lucky

i got incredibly lucky on the derelict, didnt even know it was a mission and got two birds with one stone, visit a derelict and an anomaly

[mental geyser]

I think I’m stuck. Got my first ship and went digging for parts on the very cold system, all the others had Aggressive Sentinels which I can’t deal with. But I ran out of Launch juice. I could use the emergency warp to the station but I don’t know how that would help. I’m terrible at fighting. I am considering ending the Expedition. If I do can I try again?

[novel grove]

what are you trying to do?

[wraith junco]

At the end of expedition when u have the menu of what to take back u

• fill slots with stuff
• switch to main save from options
• take out modules
• switch back to exp save
• fill slots again with stuf fu want to get back

[mental geyser]

I need launch fuel

[bold scaffold]

legit ready to wait here for hours to bum off this guy's ship for the milestone 💀

[novel grove]

its dihydrogen and metal plate

dihydrogens are the blue crystals and ferrite dust you get from small rocks

[sharp fern]

I think that was answering someone else's question @marsh breach's question

[mental geyser]

Yes, but the cold is killing me and think I’m on an island

[novel grove]

💀

[chilly kayak]

Is there anything I should bring with me to speed up this new expedition?

[sharp fern]

Is there anyone who is playing the expedition and who is at (or can stop at) a space station who can confirm a question for me? If you have a functional corvette module in your inventory, can you offer it for trade at the Corvette Builder? You don't have to actually trade it, just tell me if it shows up in your inventory at the "trade for advanced modules" screen when you click on an item to trade for.

[marsh breach]

Thanks 🙂

[sharp fern]

Sure thing

[wraith junco]

I did not bring nothing and i did it in like 5h

[marsh breach]

I didnt want to start the game and then no have the stuff on my main save 🙂

[buoyant herald]

so im guessing its one expedition per save then?

[novel grove]

bring materials you might need for the quests

itll save you time

[chilly kayak]

I don't know what the quests are

[novel grove]

arent they on google

i dont remember them anymore

[novel grove]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/kARTx6Mo7S

just found a guide

[chilly kayak]

Thanks

I've also been away from the game and while and don't remember the basics

[sharp fern]

FWIW< I'm a relative newb, and started the expedition with a new character, and am not strugging particularly

[novel grove]

z/y for build menu thats what i forgot when i came back

[sharp fern]

You will immediately start with a new Corvette, and the game has some relatively generous rewards as you go

[glass shuttle]

if you start a new save in this expedition, do you get to keep the orbital uplink after the expedition is over?

[buoyant herald]

uh... where's my ship? i summoned it from the expedition and all i get is this...

do i reload?

[bold scaffold]

sick

anyone willing to help out with the Hitchhiker milestone?

i kinda wish it also counted if you flew someone else too

[sharp fern]

Can someone remind me who on the anomaly offers derelict freighter locations?

[bold scaffold]

this dude

[sharp fern]

Is that Iteration: Helios?

[bold scaffold]

yes

[sharp fern]

Ok, so he doesn't offer them all the time.

And the only other source is an outlaw station, right?

[vapid heron]

the blackmarket vendor in the back right of the stations

[sharp fern]

Ah, ok, thank you

[vapid heron]

helios gives one one per week

[sharp fern]

Perfect, thank you.

[hasty oasis]

Trying to find a system which has Sentinel Pillar charts is a real pain.

[foggy arrow]

there's an update?

just crashed on expedition and now there's some update

[wraith junco]

Platform?

[delicate wharf]

I want this lil guy so bad. I dont know much bout the expedition I just want this friend 😔

Waiting for switch 2 to uodate

[clear hornet]

Are all (or most) of the systems in this expedition with dissonant and aggressive sentinels ?

[foggy arrow]

PC Steam

[bold scaffold]

it's the end reward of the expedition, so you have to do the whole thing

bring lots of chromatic metal and you should also bring a sentinel pillar map

[delicate wharf]

Hmm okay, ill figure out how to get those maps. But im loaded on the metal. Thank you ill accept that tip!

[torpid oracle]

I believe so, yes

maybe not dissonant

but aggressive yes, I'm pretty sure

[woven shadow]

Hm. If you are in a corvette on autopilot and the pulse drive is engaged, your cape will flap

Presuming you have one like I do.

[clear hornet]

Welp. Thanks.

[torpid oracle]

Well, this is the expedition channel, so I would assume everyone here has a Corvette for the Corvette Expedition lol
And yeah, the cape bug was supposed to be fixed I thought

[silver kernel]

Good afternoon everyone, I missed the Atlas Staff expedition, and I also missed the redux, is there a chance of having it again at the end of the year?

[torpid oracle]

If you're on PC you can use a expedition generator to play one in offline mode, but there is always a chance it'll be available to do again later this year

[silver kernel]

and how can I do this offline mode?

[torpid oracle]

We can move this to #nms-modding

[polar sage]

Is there a noncombat way to get a sentinel pillar map in the expedition?

[torpid oracle]

Yep, loot Salvageable Scrap, the same ones that give Crovette Parts

[silver kernel]

thank you very much

[delicate solstice]

Does anyone know if you can bring over more then one corvette when completing the expedition

[edgy pumice]

Where do you find corvette modules. Ive looked and looked for 30 minutes now

[wraith junco]

Dig for corvette parts. Map can drop from scrap

[thick umbra]

Find planets with Salvageable Scrap

[edgy pumice]

Well ye ive done this. Im on one. Like I said ive been here for 30 minutes scanning around flying. None

[thick umbra]

It is indicated on the information panel of a planet with the icon after performing a scan in space

And you need to have the mission active

[bold scaffold]

welll that's uhh

[edgy pumice]

Ok i understand that. Im not a idiot. What im asking is on the planet. The planet itself. Ive been looking and looking and looking and their are none

[wraith junco]

Need to be on foot and look through mt visor. Look for buried tech icon but yellow

[edgy pumice]

THANK YOU! I got told u have to be in the ship to do it.

[rustic karma]

Completed the expedition and I think it's the fastest I've ever completed one so far! The only question that was kind of a pain was the sentinel pillar.

[edgy pumice]

Can you be in the ship on auto pilot?

[delicate solstice]

Does anyone know if several corvette can be carried over or is it just one?

[wraith junco]

I Didint tried it

[south canopy]

Does anyone else have problem with second milestone:
"Get inside your starship, open the build menu, and place a mission radar to complete "Ship Architecture."?
I can't place mission radar because i don't have it, everyone seems to get one from mission just so you can place it. I am a new player so i don't have any resources like gold, i don't even know where to get it 😄

I have like 2 hours in game. On the other hand, my friend i play with did got it and was able to place it down straight away. All the videos i watched across youtube shows that everyone else seemed to have it already (i guess you get that from mission for mission).

Is it bug or am i missing something? I did restart the game, ship is fully build saved and used instead the basic first one, my mission now is to place that radar. So what are your suggestions ?

[sharp fern]

You can get gold & silver either from extracting resources on planets, or by shooting asteriids in space

[south canopy]

Is it hard to find? should i try or perhaps in my case all i can do is to delete save and start all over ?

[sharp fern]

If you are a first time player, you might be better off starting just playing the normal game and doing the expedition once you have a bit better feeling for the game

In asteroids it is essentially random. On the ground, you just scan for resources and it will point you too them

[south canopy]

Well, expedition is time limited so i wanted to get all the jucies from it before it ends, i follow tutorials but on the second milestone i got a bug

[sharp fern]

Normally it's easy, but in the expedition, you will have aggressive sentinals chasing you, so harder for a beginner

[south canopy]

Yeah i've been fighting them yesterday

But i don't really mind that

[sharp fern]

It has like 5 and a half weeks to go, and doesn't tale long to finish. I'm not saying you should skip it, just get a bit better grounding. Play the base game for a few days at least

It's not required to play the base game, but you will have a better time learning how to find resources and such that way

[stray iris]

are all expeditions this easy? i did it in like 8 hours. This is my first one so

[south canopy]

I get you but I don't mind to start from expedition 19, i will figure out stuff on the way so to me it's the same principle. But still i'd love to fix my problem, if i won't find anything, i'll just start over again tomorrow evening, cause this first milestone wasn't really long to do

[south canopy]

8 hours? I've seen people doing it in 3 😄 you sure it was easy? 😛

[stray iris]

i have 20 hours INCLUDING thee 8 hours spent on that? so yeah

[sharp fern]

It sounds like you just need to gather the resources. For the Mission Radar, you need 40 gold, which you mine, 1 microprocessor, and one Ion Battery, which you can buy or craft

[stray iris]

id say pretty easy consider the 3 hour ppl easily have 1k hours

:3

[sharp fern]

You will likely not have the recipe for the microprocessor, but you can buy it from the Anomaly

[south canopy]

Yeah you could do that as well, but you should get a free radar just for the mission, that i didn't get for some reason

[south canopy]

I'd say so 😄

[south canopy]

Yeah, I was just looking at the prices, and Farming stuff to sell so I can buy things i need will take way too much time 😅 so if i won't find any solution until tomorrow's lunch i will just delete save and start a new game

[red ingot]

So, can you take the photo of your Corvette early, or does it need to be done at the end?

[woven shadow]

My corvette looks like a janky illegally modified 80s camper van right now

At least on my main save I have oodles of money and can buy all the parts

[raven idol]

any time

[snow jay]

Next update, custom built freighters

[red ingot]

That what I figured. Cannot get the task to complete. Some people this morning were saying to take the photo with the Steam screenshot, but that didn't make a difference. On a steam deck here. Have 20 photos in space and land.

[vapid jewel]

That’ll be mine once I start making it

[raven idol]

in game photo mode

[snow jay]

where is this dropship from?

[red ingot]

Thanks. Yeah, have tried that too.

[raven idol]

thats what did it for me but I assume there are bugs all over the place.. turn it off, restart steam and game and try again

[red ingot]

Should have been the easiest task 😆

[raven idol]

I had to restart the game and all 5 times trying to place a part on my corvette

[limpid wagon]

Can you do old expeditions?

[red ingot]

someone was just discussing a tool to load old ones in #nms-modding

[limpid wagon]

Are mods allowed?

I didn’t know they were

[red ingot]

You mean terms of service? Dunno.

[raven idol]

I mean... there is a modding channel in this discord

[bold scaffold]

👍

[thin bane]

Halo

It’s the unsc pelican drop ship from halo

[snow jay]

Thanks, it's so annoying to have something evade your recognition :)

[thin bane]

No problem, I know the feeling 🙂

[limpid hornet]

How do I get growing beds in the expedition

[spice prism]

Anyone else’s expedition corvette just completely disappear don’t have a ship to leave the space station or anything, but it says it’s still here and doesn’t let me modify it as it says no parts are placed

[thin bane]

Build them

[limpid hornet]

I don’t have the blueprint

[thin bane]

You should when building inside your corvette

Open the build menu while standing inside your corvette

[limpid hornet]

Do I need a living wall first or somthing

[thin bane]

Living wall is the grow bed

[limpid hornet]

Ohhh

[tough sluice]

Anyone mind helping with Hitchhiker?

[remote thunder]

👋 🙂 sorry, unable to help atm. but just saying, that's an optional one

[solemn bane]

Three more that come up quite a bit (I don't want to bug you, is this the best way to keep the list up-to-date?):

• You can fish on a Dissonant planet and the sentinels will leave you alone (Corrupted Sentinels are not aggressive).

• For an easier Derelict Freighter run (no infected nests), return to the first system (Space Station Killur VII Platform).

• If you want to copy your expedition ship from the expedition to your "main" save (and be able to send items back to it as well), make sure you start the expedition from your existing save. To do so, go to the terminal behind the Nexus aboard the Anomaly.

[snow jay]

Sure. Find a Gek at Killur VII, he likes to refine mold there while watching something redicilous like Kong Fu Hustle. He will be happy to help x)

[vapid jewel]

HALO

[thin bane]

If ur still needing help after the 3 hours that it will take me to get on a computer, sure

[red ingot]

You really need to defeat all waves of sentinels to complete this expedition ?! Never been able to do that.

[tough sluice]

Yeah I know, I just wanted to complete it is all 🙂

How goes it BK?

Heh I just kidnapped someone from the anomaly and I think they got it

[snow jay]

you still need a hand?

[neon coral]

*wong

*wing

[split vigil]

In case it helps any, this is how I clear all five waves with the starter bolt caster and no upgrades

• make sure you have lots of ammo, like 3-4k
• choose somewhere to fight that has a bunch of obstacles, ideally on a ridge. Flat open ground is much, much harder
• every time a new wave spawns, immediately focus down the flying triangles, and the repair ones.
• The cyber dog laser is deadly, but it gets blocked by any terrain or obstacles. Having large obstacles that you can duck behind when it's shooting or if it starts hitting you is valuable, but if there's a ridge, and you peek at the top, you can hit about half of your shots on the cyber dog, while the laser is hitting the ground and not able to hit you
• for the small Walker, it has about three attacks, the dual mortar, the flamethrower, and the chain gun. It only uses the dual mortar when you are far away, so if you get up close enough, then it will just switch back and forth between its flame thrower and its chain gun, and both of these attacks are incredibly weak compared to the mortar. If you can move in a circle around him while shooting him, you can comfortably take him down while he is trying to flame thrower or chain gun. You without any healing. If any healing bots show up, immediately prioritize them
• for the large Walker in Wave 5, there are four big orange plates on his legs, He's actually really weak as long as you don't stand still when he is lasering you, so on Wave 5, I kill everything else first, and when he spawns, shoot the four leg plates, this will cripple and stun him for a while and then he will just do dumb, weak attacks for the rest of the fight instead of being even much of a hazard.

[brave sable]

Will this exped get me a corvette?

[remote thunder]

you'll have a corvette yeah

[olive ether]

Is there a better way to do the zero, one milestone? I've tried multiple times on 3 separate planets and every time the Sentinels can't find me after the 4th wave

[remote thunder]

nice post! one great addition that helps a lot with on foot combat is paralysis mortar. it's a multitool tech that can be equipped side by side with any primary weapon, and it shoots an aoe stun grenade - it stuns enemies for about 5s or so, allowing easy spamming of both para mortar to keep enemies controlled, especially the stronger ones, even the dogs and of the primary weapon. we can unlock it from anomaly/MT research npc. bonus points if we also install voltaic amplifier.

[olive ether]

I'm just walking up and capping the first one I see, typically that starts a war

[remote thunder]

this is a known issue. alt: either obtain a sentinel boundary chart, or goto a teleporter in that rdv system, find a base that says sentinel pillar, teleport to it, interact with the terminal, shutdown sentinels

[olive ether]

Are boundary charts dropped by Sentinels or can they be purchased

Because I've been blasting Sentinels in the face for over an hour

[torpid oracle]

Read bk's reply

[olive ether]

I did, obtain a boundary chart was part of that

[fringe agate]

Yep, this works - thank you

[torpid oracle]

You can get them more easily from looting salvageable scrap

[olive ether]

I'm asking where I get one

[fringe agate]

I'll need to mess around some, it's over nitro limits - I'll likely break it up into two posts when I'm back around the PC

[sand wave]

I'm playing on ps5 pro and using the psvr2. I've completed the expedition but I'm having a problem, when I fly into the anomaly the game will not let me get out of the pilots seat (BTW this also happens when I land in the space station). So I cant claim the rewards. Is this only happening to me or is this happening to other psvr2 players 🤔

[solemn bane]

I could just break it up in posts here like I did in the other Discord. Then I can just keep the posts up-to-date (it'll be three messages).

[snow jay]

daamn, my discord is flying off like a kite in the storm 0_o

[fringe agate]

That would be excellent, I can pin those and then you could edit as needed

[indigo falcon]

you can get a sentinel boundary map when you are farming corvette parts; the salvaged scrap things drop them at a pretty reasonable rate, give it a try

[indigo falcon]

r5 system's derelict is also a nice one, just a few jellies

[sharp fern]

So what happens when you finish the expedition? I just completed the last space station, and have everything complete, collected all the rewards... I expected so kind of acknowledgement other then being offered the reward. Is that all that happens?

[indigo falcon]

did you start the expedition from a main save?

[solemn bane]

I hear 4 is also like that

[indigo falcon]

I heard the same. but I've not been, where I did the run at 5 myself. anyways, lots of good choices it seems

[sharp fern]

No, new game. Looks like I have to visit the Anoaly?

[boreal plaza]

Hey everyone, I have a question regarding the transfer of stuff from the expedition to my normal save. I’m new and don’t know that yet XD

[indigo falcon]

can you try playing with mouse and keyboard just to get the rewards? a drag I kno, butmaybe a workaround for now

[boreal plaza]

I heard u can transfer ur corvette and multitool and stuff

[solemn bane]

Expedition 19 Corvette: Tips, Tricks and Workarounds

1. Use the Orbital Uplink multiple times! Get some extra Chromatic Metal and make/use an Orbital Uplink any time you need to go to a space station. It's a huge time saver.
2. Report bases in the quick menu to make them vanish. Do this if you're unable to mine copper or put down a refiner on the first planet.
3. If you have any weird bugs like not being able to get into the space station, your corvette's refiner making the wrong thing, random crashes, etc. try shutting off Multiplayer and restarting the game. That fixes a LOT of bugs
4. If you are having trouble with One, Zero, you can just go directly to a Sentinel Pillar to disable the sentinels. You can do so by mining Salvageable Scrap, they have a chance to drop a Sentinel Boundary Map you can use to find a sentinel pillar, OR you can check space station/Anomaly teleporters for bases near pillars OR you can wait to do this milestone until after you have completed Spacewreck which rewards a Sentinel Boundary Map.
5. Weapons: I tend to use a Bolt Caster in a supercharged slot with no upgrades on a C class multi-tool, because Sentinels start scaling up quickly when you upgrade your multi-tool/weapon. After that, I collect Neutron Cannon upgrades (there are two S class on the expedition path, and 1 A class) then I switch to a fully upgraded Neutron Cannon (learned at the Anomaly) and laugh as I two shot a group of 6 sentinels.
6. For Grounded, a Lush world is any world that has Star Bulb listed as a plant. There are several along the expedition path.

[solemn bane]

7. You cannot claim any sentinel interceptors you find. Also, most Dissonant systems and planets are not Dissonant outside of the expedition, so recording the glyphs or putting down a base may not help you get an interceptor you found. The first system, Killur VII, is dissonant outside of the expedition.
8. Hitchhiking can be hard depending on your system. Keep in mind it's optional and the reward isn't great.
9. For Stardiving, fly to a planet and just when it says entering atmosphere, stop, jump out the back of your ship and jet pack all the way down for 60 seconds. Keep some Chromatic Metal on you so you can craft a Orbital Uplink and quickly go back to the space station and your ship.
10. 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 the space station.
11. Never land your ship. Instead just teleport down, makes things a lot faster (left red button).
12. You can expand your corvette's tech slots by removing as many parts that cause tech modules to appear in the tech slots as you can, filling your tech slots up with any cheap tech modules, then putting all your corvette parts back on. This will expand your tech slots permanently.
13. If you started the expedition from an existing save, when you've finished all the require milestones, but before you end the expedition completely, you can switch to your primary save, copy your ship via the expedition terminal (it will cost nanites), then return to the expedition, take your ship apart and send all the parts back to yourself via the terminal. You can also use this method to send items back to your primary save multiple times.
14. You can't take your egg back to your primary save, but it will be available to claim at the QuickSilver vendor.

[solemn bane]

15. For Silent Running, grow Frostwort, it is the quickest growing plant. This expedition makes plants grow 5x faster, so it's only 12 minutes to grow one. You can find the ingredients on cold planets.
16. Sentinels are no longer bugged (they used to run away very far and very quickly after they spawned, making them hard to track down and kill).
17. To mine Salvageable Scrap quickly, scan/mark them from your corvette with your Analysis Visor, then fly to them and mine them with your ship's Photon Cannon
18. Try not to leave anything in your ship's refiner before warping. There is a long-standing bug with refiners which can make all the contents disappear when warping (same for freighters).
19. You can fish on a Dissonant planet and the sentinels will leave you alone (Corrupted Sentinels are not aggressive). You can also now fish out of the back of your corvette.
20. If you want to copy your expedition ship from the expedition to your "main" save (and be able to send items back to it as well), make sure you start the expedition from your existing save. To do so, go to the terminal behind the Nexus aboard the Anomaly.
21. Don't sell the Walker Brain a milestone gives you. You need it to make the Conflict Scanner to help you find pirate systems.
22. When you reach your ship at the start, you can get in, reload your save point until the red orb in the round object near your ship is gone, and the object will give you the Teleport Receiver schematic.

[solemn bane]

@fringe agate ^

[sand wave]

My ps5 is not connected to a pc, I don't have 1

[indigo falcon]

how about a ps5 controller?

[boreal plaza]

A fck I started the expedition from a new save

So I don’t get to keep my stuff and just wasted time?

[indigo falcon]

(I play on ps5, no vr2 though, and I have not run into those issues, so it might let you get things done)

[indigo falcon]

the new save will, after the expd ends, convert to a normal save and you'll keep all the items on it

[boreal plaza]

Cool and all, but that’s in six weeks

[solemn bane]

You can use another person to hold your junk while you transfer between saves, and the unlocks are account-wide. But it can be an excuse to do the expedition again knowing all you know now.

[indigo falcon]

some people are even speed running it...

[boreal plaza]

And that’s in 6 weeks what makes it not really worth XD

I wanted to play my normal save w my cool stuff XD

[sand wave]

I'll try that tomorrow thanks 😊

[solemn bane]

I've done the expedition 4 times and I think my Pile of Junk ships keep getting worse, lol

[indigo falcon]

may I present my pile o' crap:

and you have the audacity to complain about your ones!

[solemn bane]

I wish the ship building interface didn't give me motion sickness or I might try to build a nice one, lol

[indigo falcon]

I'll try to, back on the main save later

[fringe agate]

Sweet

[boreal plaza]

I feel really stupid rn XD I wasted 8h on the expedition with nothing to get lol

[indigo falcon]

well... did you enjoy those 8 hours of gameplay?

[boreal plaza]

Now looking back Not anymore

[indigo falcon]

when you were playing it

not "in retrospective", that's a different question! if you had a good time at the time, it's not a waste

[boreal plaza]

Sure, but without anything to gain it just feels empty and pointless

And there’s no way to get it as a normal safe before the 6 weeks deadline?

[indigo falcon]

to end the expedition now, you mean, since you've claimed all rewardsd (incl the expedition final reward)?

[lost sphinx]

I mean, you don't really lose anything if you just go back to your main save.

All of the stuff that's in the expedition can be obtained through normal gameplay. Plus if you've already completed all of the milestones, you can claim the expedition rewards on your main save.

[boreal plaza]

I mean yeah I don’t lose anything, but all the time and stuff I put into creating my corvette for example is worth nothing now

Do I even get anything on the main safe? Like the egg or something?

[indigo falcon]

you can claim all expd rewards once on each save

so the egg for example.

[boreal plaza]

Ahh ok so if I claim the expedition end reward I can do the same in normal save?

[lost sphinx]

You could always take a screenshot of it and work on recreating it on your main save.

[lost sphinx]

Yes.

[boreal plaza]

I could, but it still wasted the effort of the original

[lost sphinx]

That's true

[boreal plaza]

Anyways, no use crying over spilled milk

[indigo falcon]

and any new save you make in the future, yuo can claim expedition rewards on that too

much like quicksilver items, where if you buy it on on save, you can get it on all

(for nonconsumables like e.g. fireworks, so like bluleprints, buy once, claim everywhere)

[boreal plaza]

If I start the expedition again on my main save, can I then save all my stuff?

[solemn bane]

Yep.

[indigo falcon]

ok so a caveat. some things don't transfer (like the egg, but you can claim it since it's an expd reward). there's only so many slots for transferring stuff back as well.

[woven shadow]

Wow you can build some real heckin’ chonkers. And some real heckin’ clonkers.

I am not sure about doing cargo racks because they take a lot of room and I can basically do the same thing with my freighter, but with item teleportation and better inventory management.

[delicate solstice]

Soxi finished the expedition everything carried over. Even the extra parts I had in my ship

[austere wave]

having a problem with the stardiving milestone. I've jumped out and divided down using the jetpack, I've walked out and headed downwards but no matter what I've tried it never registers more than something like 0.37 seconds. What am I doing wrong?

[olive salmon]

First time doing an expedition. How do I get all the loot from expedition or is all that stuff just a loss? Like several sentinel customized appearance pieces and multi-tools? Its acting like I am now just starting a new game after I finished the expedition. I thought you could xfer your stuff back to oroginal save file?

[delicate solstice]

I was above the clouds and just dropped I didn't dive and some of thr time I was pulling back as time.

[delicate solstice]

Everything moved over for me when I finished. Im not sure though if it was because I started a new game completely right off with it

[austere wave]

got it working now just now need to do it for 60 seconds without snapping my shins

[olive salmon]

Yeah, this entire expedition has been just bug after after bug after bug.... sound like I am screwed just like losing 20-30 Corvette pieces from a bug.

[rocky fern]

I recommend upgrading your jetpack & upgrades a bit.

[delicate solstice]

Im not sure if it was different for me since I started a fresh game completely or if thats normal

[delicate solstice]

Im also still able to collect parts even though I finished it and turned it in

[rocky fern]

I stepped out of my Corvette in low orbit and ended up needing to aim for a hole to juuuuust barely get it.

[chilly kayak]

What was the starting planet called

[woven shadow]

The landing ramp opening up during hyperspace jumps is really something LOL

[fringe star]

Yeah, I don't get why thats a thing

[thorny yew]

having a sentinel boundary map before hand bugs out ive tried it

[solemn bane]

Can you elaborate? First I'm hearing of it.

[chilly kayak]

Did we start on new nayli?

[orchid karma]

So do we just look for salvage for all the corvette parts or do we have to trade in for the rarer parts

[boreal plaza]

How do I find good corvette parts? Or in general parts

[solemn bane]

This expedition teaches you how to get parts. You can trade them for rarer parts at the build terminal as well.

[solemn bane]

Salvage, purchase/trade on space station, derelict freighters

[orchid karma]

How do we find derelict freighter again

[boreal plaza]

But is searching salvaged scraps the only way?

[solemn bane]

nope

[orchid karma]

Do each space stations sell different parts?

[chilly kayak]

No one remembers the starting planet?

[solemn bane]

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

[solemn bane]

Check the pins

e: wait, maybe I misunderstood that question, lol

[boreal plaza]

How else then?

[boreal plaza]

How then

[solemn bane]

lol how am I having the same conversation with two people in the same channel

Salvage, purchase/trade on space station, derelict freighters

[chilly kayak]

Im trying to find the very first planet we were on at the very start of the expedition

[solemn bane]

Check the pins

[faint mesa]

Done... just shy of 3h. Really wasn't a difficult one. But it certainly showed me I have much to learn about corvette building lol.

This is the monstrosity I was flying during this expedition

[boreal plaza]

I don’t know what a derelict freighter is so I didn’t know that is the same thing I asked XD

[digital plover]

do you keep quicksilver from expedition or should i spend it?

oh the game just answered my question lol

[south ridge]

Anyone got any tips on making my corvette handle better, cant take down any sentinal ships because it moves so slowly

[quiet urchin]

Recommend more engines for that

[torpid oracle]

Just tech and more modules. But you can also try turning up your space ship sensitivity (game devs hate this one trick)

[autumn meteor]

corvette is so easy

finished it in ~10h

and i took my time

didnt speedrun

[hoary grove]

It was somewhat challenging for me since it was my first expedition and I play on a custom difficulty, but folks here are super helpful

[fringe loom]

is there any way to make plants grow faster for the Phase 2 milestone?

[hoary grove]

12 minutes per batch if you're growing the blue one

That's the fastest

[solemn bane]

Plant Frostwort. Ingredients on cold planets.

[lilac dagger]

Keep checking them too, sometimes mine wouldn't show if it was ready to collect

[fringe loom]

okay thanks!

[lilac dagger]

Or go hop on someone's ship at a space station and steal theirs

[fringe loom]

ooo, I wont do that one but thats interesting that you can

[foggy arrow]

any easy way to do "One, Zero"?

[rocky fern]

10

[south ridge]

Il give that a try thanks

[solemn bane]

If you are having trouble with One, Zero, you can just go directly to a Sentinel Pillar to disable the sentinels. You can do so by mining Salvageable Scrap, they have a chance to drop a Sentinel Boundary Map you can use to find a sentinel pillar, OR you can look for bases/communication orbs near sentinel pillars.

[foggy arrow]

Thanks, I found out the scatter blaster works well on the big mechs. just finished it

[mental glade]

Someone marked a pillar with a base in the system with Rendezvous 5 on the radioactive planet. Bless SNES_Caribou on reddit for mentioning it; it saved me a ton of jumps and time.

[fair shoal]

I'm trying to do Resist: 4 for phase 4 of the expedition but the system doesn't seem to be marked on the Galaxy map

[solemn bane]

You may need to do multiple jumps, or you may be off course. For the latter, try using a space station teleport to go back to the space station marked (Rendezvous 3) and try following the green line again.

Also make sure the quest is selected in your log.

[fringe loom]

I completed the expedition, the music was building up, I was getting hyped, then when I took off the game crashed 💀

[solemn bane]

Fitting, really

[fringe loom]

yeah lol, time to take off without the cool music ig

[foggy arrow]

is there a reason to not end Expedition early?

It says optional mission available, but I don't see any?

[fringe loom]

bonus rewards. you get 1,200 quicksilver from uploading doing the phase 5 milestone called Resistance

[foggy arrow]

how to get that bonus reward? so I have to wait the 6 weeks of Expedition for it to naturally end to get the 1200 quicksilver?

[fringe loom]

nope, I just got it a little bit ago. you can do it anytime

[solemn bane]

You can jump back and forth between your primary save and your expedition save (assuming you started the expedition from an existing save) to send items, copy ships, etc. Not much reason besides that.

[foggy arrow]

Ok, I did all of the expedition, going to end it now and x-fer items over

thanks

[vapid knot]

Should i sell all my valuables before ending the expedition

[foggy arrow]

do the corvette parts in the corvette storage box transfer over to Primary save or do I have to move each item out?

[frozen laurel]

Everything in your cargo is auto sold when you exit the expedition, you get all the units or nanites.

[solemn bane]

nope

[vapid knot]

Including items in storage containers?

[lilac dagger]

I was thinking the same thing

Dang

[frozen laurel]

If you have something specific worth tons that you want to sell, go ahead, so you're not worried about not getting paid.
• You can scrap any extra Multtools you picked up and are not bring back at the Anomaly too, upstairs by the teleporter.

[vapid knot]

I see. Thanks for the advice!

[solemn bane]

Just wanted to check this one 100% for myself. I put everything I had in storage containers and ended the expedition and got the moneh

[gaunt shard]

I take it thats because you started the expedition from main save?
I started a fresh expedition and when I completed it, everything transferred over

[solemn bane]

Correct.

[gaunt shard]

Cool. Just trying to make sure I wasnt bugged. Friend went fresh and completed it and all his collected corvette parts did not transfer.

[solemn bane]

Booo, my 5th expedition run didn't start with a supercharged slot in my multi-tool. I'll have to actually work a little harder to finish One, Zero on the first planet :p

[remote hatch]

how do you get access to plant beds to put in the corvette? I cant find them

[solemn bane]

Living walls, go into your corvette and they are in the build menu

[topaz pumice]

heyooo, I got an egg from the expansion, im about to end the expansion. what do I do with the egg?

it wont let me take it with me

[solemn bane]

You can't bring it back, but you can claim another one at the Quicksilver vendor on your primary save, and any other saves

[vapid heron]

you can collect one from the reward in the nexus

[topaz pumice]

danke

[frail gate]

is there an easy way to find a pirate system/station?

[vapid heron]

the expediition path will take you through one, but if you see a system with a skull on the galaxy map, you found one.

[violet panther]

conflict scanner. You should be able to get one from one of the rewards in a quest somewhere

[frail gate]

I guess I am not that far along then

[vapid heron]

don't even need conflict scanner to identify pirate system

[topaz pumice]

dang you get so many nanites for finishing it

oh you dont keep the corvette?

[vapid heron]

you will be able to make a copy of it from the terminal where you end the expedition, for a sum of nanites

[topaz pumice]

aight gratz, im very new to the game

[vapid heron]

there's a lot to take on board, even hundred of hours in i'm still learning new things

[solemn bane]

I got 1.1k hours and I still learn of bugs that have been around for years, lol.

[vapid heron]

totally relatable

[topaz pumice]

I had like a hundred hours on release and then a couple dozen on some releases but haven't played in years and dont remember how anything works and also my saves were wiped at some point

[vapid heron]

a lot has changed, it'd be easy to get turned around on

[topaz pumice]

yea, a lot is weird to me but the game seems more dense, imma try to stick with it

[vapid heron]

its relaxing way to lose a few hours too

[topaz pumice]

last one I played was the freighter update in like 2016

[vapid heron]

i dont play all that consistently but i do keep coming back every now and again

[topaz pumice]

aight thanks for the help

ive got planets to explore

[quartz jay]

I think I'm basically softlocked in the Expedition. I jumped out of my ship to do the Stardiving Milestone but now it's not letting me summon my ship back to me.

[solemn bane]

Make an Orbital Uplink like before

[quartz jay]

Thanks

[remote pine]

um... guyse

how do I board a freighter on a corvette? o_o

I keep landing on a blue hologram flooring on top of it but then I have no idea where to go next.
The gates for small starships don't let me in when I try passing through them on foot

[solemn bane]

Teleport button, left button next to the corvette exit

[remote pine]

oh. my. god

THAT's what it was for???

[solemn bane]

Just wait til you figure out you never have to land your corvette on a planet again

[remote pine]

You mean by throwing youraelf from the orbit? That part I saw in the trailer

[solemn bane]

Nah just get low and teleport down. A teleporter will wait for you on the ground

[remote pine]

oh

huh

I... wish that button would be labeled for me to know that

[remote pine]

this also kinda feels like cheating with take off engines cost and all lol

[solemn bane]

Yep. My least favorite part of the game, gone.

[pseudo merlin]

Solar ships have been doing that

[remote pine]

wouldn't mind that if it cost something for it to hover (cause it's kinda weird it doesn't?)

[remote pine]

huh? Elaborate please

[pseudo merlin]

Solar ships’ launch fuel recharges automatically

[autumn meteor]

ur attempting to make the game worse

smh

[autumn meteor]

all ships do

[pseudo merlin]

You can get the tech for regular ships but it’s built in for solars

[autumn meteor]

if you put the right stuf

[remote pine]

ahh. well that takes some time tho and that tech can be installed on other ships as well

[pseudo merlin]

Not by default

[autumn meteor]

fair

[pseudo merlin]

Took less time for me to find a solar than it did to get a tech slot for it

[solemn bane]

I also hate the time it takes to land and lift off. Just everything about landing sucks. Never have to do it again.

[autumn meteor]

yup

agreee

land takes 500 years

[pseudo merlin]

Plus the recharging tech has other bonuses for it so it’s more efficient than the separate tech piece

[autumn meteor]

also cwmonkey i tested exp19 with ur replayer

[remote pine]

honestly no.. I woupd feel nice about it as well if was just explained as some automatic solar energy or something. It just takes off from immersion a bit when I don't know how it happens so.
Same as your starships always teleporting with you ||like your minecraft dog lol||

[autumn meteor]

it works

[solemn bane]

Me too 😆

[autumn meteor]

wow ur sweaty lol

[autumn meteor]

fair

space stations can tp you

boom

w solution

[remote pine]

and your starship? I could imagine yeah. But like when you teleport from a planet?

[autumn meteor]

autopilot or smth 🤷‍♂️

nms lore in general is mid af

they need a loremaker

[remote pine]

could probably work, just adding the animation of it flying into the space station when you teleport in there

[autumn meteor]

or

make it warp in

like a freighter

100x cooler

also i still cant build a corvette for the life of me

😭

mine looks like a giant box

[remote pine]

i has this cool idea I was super excited about I sent to zendesk years ago
For your starships to be left where they are if you use regular teleporter, but to be able to fly with them after setting destination and activating a big teleporter (like the one on anomaly) to fly through it
and ALSO have big teleporter required to connect to destinations in other galaxiea (not systems, galaxies like Euclid and etc) cause I felt bewildered by a small teleporter being able to connect to such huge distances and requiring big teleporter for that really connected nice to my idea

well, likely tons of people send their ideas to HG so mine must be just piling in dust somewhere in zendesk mail =_=

[mental narwhal]

Just finished my expedition and my god does it feel good to not be flying in a pile of scrap 😭

[remote pine]

lol. I actually waited for it to start to try out the corvettes for the first time. This is like the ultimate starship type in the game imo

[solemn bane]

I did the same. I was just looking at everyone's amazing creations for a week or whatever, then the expedition came out and I'm on my 5th playthrough, lol. I am absolutely addicted to... something about this, I don't even know what.

And the corvette build interface gives me really bad motion sickness, so 🤷‍♂️

[remote pine]

I've also just realized I can build furniture on corvette's OUTSIDE and it made me more excited than I'd think

being able to place whatever junk on exterior is hilarious

[solemn bane]

Yeaaaaaah

[remote pine]

guh, amy quick ways to gather just a bit of nanites after exp start?

[solemn bane]

Sell all the tech modules they give you

[remote pine]

hmmm

[solemn bane]

That reminds me, I need to buy a wonder projector for my ship this time so I can put a bunch of weird-ass holograms on it

[icy solar]

How do i ride other corverttes. They’re always invisible

[indigo falcon]

there will be a lot of tech you don't need. like, I kept the scatter blaster and related, and sold the blaze javelin and related cruft, for example

don't sleep on fishing either, you'll get the fishing rig for free

[remote pine]

oh yeah-
wait, you get nanites for fishing?

[indigo falcon]

catch-and-release

[remote pine]

woah

[indigo falcon]

better rarity/class, more naites. but they add up

[remote pine]

does the game tell you that'd give you nanites?

[indigo falcon]

the fishing tutorial did hve us release a fish in that expedition... so we got to see that happen

[remote pine]

i see

[indigo falcon]

and don't forget to turn in milestones ad stuff at the anomaly

[remote pine]

what is that?

[indigo falcon]

you know, talk to Ares and uh Helios at the Anomaly after first warp

or later in the day if you want to play a long session (24 hour irl wait between turn ins)

[latent sparrow]

Hey!
I am considering doing my first ever Expedition and wanted to ask if anyone got any tips and if i should make a new Save or use an Existing one

[indigo falcon]

lots of good tips in the pins in here! check 'em out

[solemn bane]

If you want to keep the stuff on your main save, start the expedition from there. As far as tips, check the pins, especially my posts, because my posts are the best posts.

[indigo falcon]

in fact for tips for this expedition, cwmoneky's pinned posts are the only ones! so definitely best.

(but also that list was great before i got pinned too)

[solemn bane]

I got the monopoly on posts!

[indigo falcon]

nice to see someone else taking up the mantle:-)

[latent sparrow]

Appreciate it!

[gritty snow]

so yes or no do i use my main save for the expedition?

[indigo falcon]

do you want to be able to transfer stuff to the main save? if so, use it

[remote pine]

i completely forgot about those!
I only remembered helios cause of abandoned freighters coordinates, didn't even remember they give nanites haha

thx a lot

[latent sparrow]

Will it let me transfer the Corvette i build in the Expedition to my main save?

[solemn bane]

yep

[icy solar]

Corvettes are so buggy. How am i meant to do the ride players corvette objective

[indigo falcon]

with a lot of patience

[torpid oracle]

Assuming you see other players' Corvettes at all. If you don't, you may have to ignore that milestone or wait until the next patch

[solemn bane]

Trying to engage the autopilot while too close to the space station is a very cool and fun experience.
