[glad timber]

100%

[torpid oracle]

Man, I should do that once just to experience it before they patch it out lol

[visual plank]

Friendly tip: ||turn your volume down to about a quarter of your usual level before you do.||

[indigo falcon]

having already had the "ship will not dock in the space station but will dump you out in space nearby" bug, I think I will not try that

[analog crater]

anyone know how to do the “land on the derelict freighter” mission in the expedition? sounds simple enough but i cant find it

[analog crater]

literallt just had to do this😭

[remote pine]

do you often get stuck while trying to heckin board a space station with multiplayer on?

[solemn bane]

Activate the beacon in your inventory while piloting your ship, hit the pulse drive, wait for it to find one, land, use the teleporter button to the left of your ship's exit

[solemn bane]

Yes, multiplayer is death

[analog crater]

gonna sound stupid but which beacon?

[solemn bane]

You got it in the previous milestone

[analog crater]

i don’t think i got any i can’t find it 😅

[hoary grove]

The blue thing, if you open your inventory after selecting the mission it'll pulse

[solemn bane]

You can buy one from the scrap dealer on the bottom floor in the back of space stations

[hoary grove]

39:23 in the vid

[analog crater]

i think my game is bugging all of a sudden the quest is gone😭

[hoary grove]

Make sure you're collecting previous rewards

[analog crater]

ah okay bet ty

[analog crater]

ty

also which corvette parts are best for “manoeuvring”

damn wtf 5 million units to get info on a freighter

[solemn bane]

Next time don't sell the items you get from milestones 😉

[analog crater]

didn’t think i’d need 5 mill tho i got 5 billion on my main save wish i could transfer that shit rn😭

ima do the other milestones first then ig finish those off rq

[wraith junco]

5 mil is not much . Just sell corvette parts

[analog crater]

true

[solemn bane]

lol, found a Dioxite deposit that was 2 inches deep. Real cool, game.

[wraith junco]

Expedition 19 - Corvette
Event ends <t:1760540400>

See Pins in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam

[fringe oar]

can I go back to expeditiion 1?

[solemn bane]

On PC you can. Link in my profile.

[fringe oar]

im in PC, thanks a lot

[analog crater]

just got a dreadnojgnt in expedition really wish i could’ve transferred it to my normal save

[unborn badge]

um. what happens if my save is in an old expedition, but i never left the expedition before it ended

[torpid oracle]

It'll automatically end it I believe? There should be measures in place to prevent anything bad happening regardless. @solemn bane You'd know more about this tbh.

[solemn bane]

Yeah it'll just end that expedition as if you had completed it

[wraith junco]

If u load exp save it will convert to normal save

[fierce cape]

hi guys quick question: I finished the Expedition and im wondering if the corvette modules in the corvette workshop cache get also transfered or do i need to take them manually

[solemn bane]

They do not auto transfer

[fierce cape]

alr thank you

so just build them into the ship?

[hoary grove]

Yep

Then copy the ship with nanites

[solemn bane]

And/or transfer them in the terminal

[fierce cape]

alright thank you

[analog crater]

how do i do the smuggling milestone quest

[solemn bane]

11. 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.

[hoary grove]

Or buy a min of 150k worth of goods, non pirate system will easily let you offload for above 160k

Objective is 160k I think

[analog crater]

wtf are the odds i found 2 dreadnoughts back to back

[analog crater]

ty

wait how do i know im in a pirate system

[hoary grove]

Space station would be dark and red

[solemn bane]

Build the conflict scanner, search for a skull in the galaxy map

[hoary grove]

Or you can open galaxy map and see a skull (assuming you have conflict scanner installed)

[analog crater]

gonna ask something dumb but where can i find like the blueprint for the conflict scanner

[wraith junco]

Anomaly

[hoary grove]

Previous quests rewards give you one for free

[torpid oracle]

^

[wraith junco]

Read tasks and their rewards. It helps a lot when planing. U dont need to do tasks in order

[analog crater]

non of the milestones give a conflict scanner or am i bugging cuz i can’t see anything giving it

[solemn bane]

ADVANCE: DESTROY

[hoary grove]

Attach 3 weapons to your starship, you get weapons by attaching shields to your ship (another mission)
You get 2 shields by visiting a rendezvous point

[analog crater]

yup did that i finished every phase except 4 n 5

[solemn bane]

And what are the rewards

[hoary grove]

Did you visit imprint point 4?

[analog crater]

actually i gotta add shields rn ima do it quickly

[analog crater]

nope tryna do that rn the warp is very far

so i’m using my freighter cuz it has longer range

[hoary grove]

Make that your priority, try getting upgrades for hyperdrive

[analog crater]

okay bet

[hoary grove]

I just stockpile a fuckton of gravity balls, get a wanted level, and then use the new "zip to space station" blueprint to evade haha, then sell and buy upgrades

I wiped out all 5 sentinel waves on an atmosphere less planet, very fun. You could jump around and float as it was a slower version of Doom Eternal 🤣🤣🤣

[analog crater]

doom eternal what a fun game

[hoary grove]

Imagine if Mick Gordon ends up making music for a NMS update

[analog crater]

dude that would make me confident enough to wipe a whole solar system full of sentinels 😭😭

[sour harness]

where can i find the items i transferred to the expedition ?

[solemn bane]

Same place you put them

[sour harness]

at the anamoly ?

[analog crater]

yeah

[frank yarrow]

One, Zero is killing me rn

[analog crater]

the exact place you transferred em

[solemn bane]

5. 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.

[frank yarrow]

No luck on finding a pillar and no luck on the Salvageable scrap for the past hour lol

[analog crater]

yk the stuff i collect in expedition like reactors n stuff can i take those to my primary save

[solemn bane]

Assuming you started the expedition from that save, yes

[analog crater]

cool so would it come automatically or would i have to get it from the anomaly myself

[thick umbra]

Check at the teleporter of the Spacestation ..Other bases .. there are a lot bases from players near a pillar

[solemn bane]

You'll put it in the expedition terminal before you end the expedition

[analog crater]

ahh

so the same place where i can put stuff to transfer from primary save to expo

[frank yarrow]

Oh thats a good idea! Thank you

I keep getting Unable to donload base when using the teleporter

[analog crater]

not being able to enter space station is very annoying

[thick umbra]

try another base .. the owner of that base seems to be not online

[frank yarrow]

Ohh I see didn't know they had to be online thank you

[runic latch]

will the sentinels always be agressive, and are they on all planets?

in the expedition

[solemn bane]

LMAO, so I used the wonder projector to mount this weird jellyfish thing in front of my junk heap, and apparently the tentacles move according to how fast the ship is going. I wonder if I can get a video of this.

[solemn bane]

Not Dissonant planets.

[analog crater]

oh my god bruh this game don’t let me land on shit

all of a sudden i can’t land on a freighter for the milestone instead i just fly through it

[solemn bane]

Disable multiplayer and restart

[analog crater]

ty

fuck

it made me lose the freighter

how do i get another emergency signal

this game can be fucking annoying bro

[solemn bane]

You can buy one from the scrap dealer on the bottom floor in the back of space stations

[analog crater]

appreciate it yk where i can get a walker brain btw?

[solemn bane]

Assuming you sold the one a previous milestone gave you, you'll have to kill a sentinel walker (final wave of orange sentinels)

[analog crater]

ah onay n how do i extract salvage from the freighter for the milestone

dude i still can’t land on it im getting tired of ts

is there any other way

to get in this stupid freighter

[solemn bane]

You'll explore a derelict freighter and read the pads until you get a security clearance card, then you don't have to read the pads anymore. After that you'll use three terminals throughout the freighter to get the Captain's Log, the Crew Manifest and finally make the thing at the end

[analog crater]

ah okay is there another way i can get into it?

[solemn bane]

Are you aiming for the blue/green cirle somewhat above/near the landing pads?

[analog crater]

yep

[solemn bane]

And it doesn't stop?

[analog crater]

yep

[solemn bane]

I can't remember if you need to hit the landing button for that one

[analog crater]

fuck yeah

thanks bro

this game stresses tf out of me

[hoary grove]

Yeah the game could benefit from a checkpoint based save system or the ability to turn off auto save and have a quicksave hotkey like cyberpunk

[analog crater]

fr

[nimble sage]

What happens if you get settlements on expedition? I would like to keep them but already have 4 on main. They will be abandoned?

[peak geyser]

My friend is having an issue finishing "Ship Architecture" in Expedition tab. She had built her corvette, and placed down the Mission Radar down (which is the last step) and it didn't complete the mission for her. Assemble a corvette-class starship She's on steam if that helps, we've tried going back and deleting everything and editing it and nothing works.

[analog crater]

can i use stuff purchased from the black market dealer for the smuggled goods milestone?

[solemn bane]

Yep, the stuff with the purple text

[astral grotto]

Anyone got tainted metal they can spare?

[analog crater]

ty

[fair dome]

can anyone help me with the optional corvette mission to ride in someone else's corvette?

[solemn bane]

Tried restarting the game?

[agile pond]

I've a question, in the final phase, last mission when I have to interact with the station core, when it tells to share the orbital uplink project, what happens if I press no instead of give the prject?

[astral grotto]

I can for some tainted metal if you got any. I need to do the smuggled goods mission

[fair dome]

i have 471

[astral grotto]

Ok but I might need more than that…

[fair dome]

going to a pirate system is pretty easy tho

[jaunty tinsel]

I'm having an issue with the inventory transfer at the end of the expedition, the terminal inv slots are greyed out and I can't transfer any items over - is there a fix for this?

[solemn bane]

Probably just closes the menu and waits til you do it again

[astral grotto]

I’m at one

[fair dome]

then u can just spend normal units at one of the guys

[agile pond]

I tried and it gave me the mission as completed, idk

[solemn bane]

You need to finish all the require milestones and collect the rewards

[solemn bane]

heh, TIL

[astral grotto]

I just need the smuggled goods. I thought I needed tainted metal?

[fair dome]

u can buy smuggled goods from the shop in a pirate system's station

any of the stuff that says its smuggled goods

[jaunty tinsel]

Do I collect the final phase reward or is that the one that sends me back?

[astral grotto]

My friend code is 9Z2Y-DM81-V3V9Y

[peak geyser]

yes.

[solemn bane]

You won't get sent back until you end the expedition at the terminal

[solemn bane]

Turn off multiplayer and restart again.

[jaunty tinsel]

So just to be 100% on this, collecting the final phase reward isn't the same as ending the expedition

[fair dome]

sent, my user is MrMister71

and some numbers

[solemn bane]

Right. That will "finish" it, but not end it. It needs to be finished to let you transfer stuff

[jaunty tinsel]

Alright thank you for the info

[solemn bane]

Behold, The Pile of Junk MkV. Maybe next time I'll try to make one that actually looks good, lol.

[peak geyser]

Still the same.

[jaunty tinsel]

Okay so I've collected the final reward but the shared inv slots are still greyed out and there's no obvious way for me to transfer my items

[solemn bane]

You're missing a milestone or reward somewhere

[astral grotto]

I need your code

[fair dome]

PSN3-B4C9-Y5AQ8

[glass trellis]

Anyone have a spare Walker Brain? I accidentally sold mine and the sentinels keep bugging out before I can reach the fifth wave

[fair dome]

bruh i got version mismatch

[astral grotto]

Huh?

[fair dome]

i think that means i have a different version from u

[astral grotto]

That sucks

[solemn bane]

Hm, make sure the mission is selected in the log and rebuild with multiplayer off? Also make sure they aren't in a group.

[analog crater]

bro how do you get a walker braun i’ve been fighting so many sentinels

i can’t find it

[glass trellis]

Same. At this point, I'll settle for some portal coordinates or something because I just wanna get this mission done with

[analog crater]

exactly

[agile pond]

is the method that lets you take back as many items as you want from the expedition still working?

[solemn bane]

Yes

[agile pond]

thanks

[novel hornet]

can someone help me with resist 1 i cant find where to do this

[ocean dirge]

I’m having trouble creating a corvette ship. I’m editing a corvette ship at the space station, but when I delete a specific living quarters module, even though there should be nothing around it, I get the message ‘All modules must be connected.’ I haven’t installed any interior or anything else. What should I do?
I have written in detail, including images, in #nms-corvette-discussion
I was told to ask questions here for troubleshooting.
I apologize if there are any unclear parts due to using translation.

[jaunty tinsel]

The only thing I havent done is the optional mission to travel with another player

I've gone back and reclicked every reward

[analog crater]

yo bro

you gotta find the big sentinels

they carry it

[novel hornet]

can someone help?

[peak geyser]

still nothing

[solemn bane]

CC: @glass trellis I recommend going to the first system and buying three S tier Neutron Cannon Upgrades (buy one, save, relog, it will be back in stock), then going to the Anomaly and getting the Neutron Cannon recipes (get the Magnetic Resonator pattern if you don't have it to build them), then you should be able to take out whole groups of Sentinels very, very quickly.

[novel hornet]

can someone help me out its saying i have to clear the anomalie

[glass trellis]

I know how to get it. The problem is they keep glitching out and not spawning in

[analog crater]

ohh

[solemn bane]

They spawn in, the problem is the shooty pew pew ones run away very quickly, and sometimes hide underground and shit so you gotta kill everything fast, or go play hide and seek

[thick umbra]

Could you screenshot your expedition of phase 1

[thick umbra]

hmm it should work .. what happens if you press leave

[novel hornet]

on the terminal

nothin it is letting me go

[thick umbra]

Which Options does it give you ?

[novel hornet]

my english got broken

just to leave

or maybe i can not find the right terminal i dont now

[thick umbra]

is Multiplayer enabled ?

[novel hornet]

yeah

want me to turn off for a sec

[thick umbra]

disable it ..

[novel hornet]

aölright

do i need to go back in lobby?

[analog crater]

bro those sentinels that repair are so annoying

[thick umbra]

no... exit the game and launch it again

[novel hornet]

allright

same again

[thick umbra]

leave that Spacestation ... make sure that mission is active .. return to the terminal

[novel hornet]

allright

to my first terminal? that i foun and can rename?

[thick umbra]

rename ?

[solemn bane]

I couldn't find anyone who asked this question and got an answer. If you started the expedition on a new save, I would say just start over on a new save. If you started on an existing save, you may be out of luck. If you're on PC there is a way to "restart" the expedition by starting a different one offline (link in my profile), but that doesn't work for console.

[novel hornet]

yeah i can rename my terminal

[thick umbra]

this one ?
#nms-expedition message

[analog crater]

dude i defeat the brain walker guy and it doesn’t let me claim it he just disappears

[novel hornet]

no wait

[solemn bane]

Did you kill the Mech or the Walker

[analog crater]

walker the tall one

[novel hornet]

its saying that i found it and i can rename it

[solemn bane]

Go to where the yellow glowing brain case part was and hold the use key

[thick umbra]

have no idea what you are doing

[novel hornet]

thats confusing me to mutch

i try to just do this resistent 1

but dont know how to complete it

its saying reach the first meet point and its going to be a long way

[solemn bane]

Also you may want to turn your graphics settings down, or just change all of them. There are various glitches that don't seem related to graphics but that magically get fixed when graphics settings are changed.

[thick umbra]

are you sure that you at the right Spacestation ... If you open the galaxy map and that mission is active it should show you a marker for this resist 1... than warp your way down to this one

[novel hornet]

owwwwwwww

bruhhhhhh

i am that dump

now i understand what u mean thanks m8

[thick umbra]

👍🏼

[analog crater]

is there any other way to know if i’m in a outlaw or pirate system

[frank yarrow]

These Boundary maps really dont exist -.- lol

[finite rover]

anyone able to help hitch-hike?

[waxen wadi]

check the space station

[thick umbra]

ask in the Anomaly

[torpid oracle]

That bug will be fixed next patch

for what it's worth

[finite rover]

how? is there a thumbs out button?

[thick umbra]

If on PC .. press enter and type your question

[torpid oracle]

SPEAKING OF, It's out!

Update the game if you're on PC

[finite rover]

ahhh. xbox. fun :/

[thick umbra]

you may also ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[finite rover]

I just sat in someone's ship until they got bored and left with me :)

now the fun is how to get back to my own :)

[torpid oracle]

anomaly or space station teleporter is usually the go-to

[analog crater]

doesn’t the economy scanner show you pirate systems

[torpid oracle]

It'll have a (previous) thing for the last system

[finite rover]

on their ship right now :)

[torpid oracle]

Yep, you're looking for black market

[analog crater]

haven’t found one pirate system yet with this are they that rare

[torpid oracle]

Not in my experience, no

[finite rover]

shouldn't be. conflict scanner will show you systems in red. those tend to be piratey unless they're not

[analog crater]

it’s supposed to be a pirate skull next to the economy sign on the galaxy map right?

[formal palm]

there shouldve been one on the expedition route

[thick umbra]

sometimes you find them easy .. sometimes not 🤔

[analog crater]

fuck the conflict scanner😭 crafting that thing has been hell

[analog crater]

ahh okay

[analog crater]

yeeep

[finite rover]

was that why I had to figure out how to get on an invisible ship?

[finite rover]

LOL! I was ok with it :)

[jaunty tinsel]

No, you were just joining a game with Wonder Woman

[formal palm]

i have no clue, but i think they made an error with it, the text makes no sense

[analog crater]

the problem was the walker brain that shit is so annoying

[frank yarrow]

Would anyone happen to be at a Pillar for the expedition?

[finite rover]

getting those is an expedition quest from memory./

[finite rover]

that explains the stylish satin tights on my suit and my desire to fight for women's rights now.

[analog crater]

yep i did the stupid thing of selling it

[peak geyser]

Thank you, it completed for her

[formal palm]

go on an aggressive sentinel planet and get to a 3 star wanted level, when those dog things appear target them as they have the highest chance of dropping a map to a pillar

[finite rover]

d'oh!

[formal palm]

(in my experience)

[frank yarrow]

Ahh sweet ill try it

[jaunty tinsel]

Fixed it, I was being stupid

[formal palm]

good luck!!

[jaunty tinsel]

USS Defiant, liberated from the expedition

[thick umbra]

easiest option is .. look for other bases in teleporter .. a lot player have a base near a sentinal pillar

[frank yarrow]

I've tried that but the "data" wont download and I cant TP

[finite rover]

man. corvettes are /so/ buggy on the xbox.

[analog crater]

is outlaw and pirate system the same

[solemn bane]

Yeah

[analog crater]

and to disable a planets sentinel forces i gotta take every single sentinel out right

[solemn bane]

There's a small caveat, but yes. Or you can find a Sentinel Pillar and do it with that. You can check the teleporters at space station and the Anomaly to find bases near pillars.

[analog crater]

ah okay bet

broooo i keep
finding dreadnoughts

[glass trellis]

Dealing damage isn't the issue. My Scatter Blaster deals with mechs and quads well and my boltcaster handles the little ones. The issue is when they all spawn in, I kill them and then like one little one spawns 300km away or in the air and I either fail to reach it before they deaggro or the wave intensity drops

[tough sluice]

Anybody mind helping me with hitchhiker?

Having trouble in the anomaly

[analog crater]

5th dreadnought back to back

pirate systems space station looks dire

fire

[solemn bane]

They're running away, very quickly. Neutron Cannon has a ton of splash damage so you'll be able to kill groups of them at a time quickly so they can't run off.

[solemn bane]

Here's what happened when I lost track of one in a blizzard.

(I was using a Bolt Caster there, which is why they had a chance of runing)

[analog crater]

sentinels are by far the most annoying video game enemies i’ve ever met

[torpid oracle]

If you're on PC or PS, make sure you update so that corvettes aren't invisible for you. Then go to a checkpoint station and hitchhike there

[solemn bane]

They are heavily bugged right now. Usually they are just slow moving targets

[torpid oracle]

One of these days I'll learn how to spell rendavous

[analog crater]

ahh

[solemn bane]

But yeah, flying a mile in the air, or even below the bedrock of a planet is kiiind of annoying.

[glass trellis]

Okay. I'll have to get that neutron cannon then

[torpid oracle]

I didn't even see the fix out in the latest patch, which means it's another whole patch cycle of telling people to loot Salvageable Scrap or wait for the next patch 😔

[solemn bane]

lol

[analog crater]

the annoying part of the sentinels is the ones that repair the other ones

[tough sluice]

Got someone to help in the anomaly but my game crashed when they warped somewhere

So that's fun

[solemn bane]

6. 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.

[tough sluice]

I might just give up on it, it's only a few quicksilver. But I am kinda being a completionist about it.

[solemn bane]

Healing should not be an issue if you have one of the above.

[analog crater]

ahh okay bettt

i’m finally almost done with the expo

i just need to shut down a sentinel force and i’m done

#freeswitchusers!

[solemn bane]

Freeze witch users?

[torpid oracle]

This seems to be outdated, it should also be out for Playstation, no?

[analog crater]

how do i find a sentinel pilar

pillar

[torpid oracle]

The currently recommended solution is to get the map from looting Salvageable Scrap, same things you get corvette modules from

[solemn bane]

5. 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.

[analog crater]

okay bet thanks

no way someone actually had a base near it

dude clutched

[torpid oracle]

Yep

There's several bases like that in several checkpoint systems I believe

[analog crater]

LEEEETSSSS GOOOOOO EXPEDITION IS COMPLETE

[light sapphire]

Any chance someone has a dragon egg they can spare I’m new to the game

[analog crater]

anyone know how to send my stuff from expo to main?

[solemn bane]

The expedition terminal, assuming you started the expedition from there

[analog crater]

the “shared inventory” area? i’m there my stuff isn’t showing up

[solemn bane]

Yes, you put your stuff there in the expedition and you can retrieve it on your primary save.

If you've already clicked End Expedition it's gone

[analog crater]

nah there’s no end expo
option it just says return to primary save

[solemn bane]

Then you're not done with the expedition.

[analog crater]

the final thing it says is “collect rewards at the space anomaly”

i collected the egg idk what else there is

[torpid oracle]

If you got the egg then you should be done

[analog crater]

yeah exactly

[torpid oracle]

Maybe it already converted to a normal save?

[analog crater]

can it do that

[solemn bane]

no

[analog crater]

uh oh

[torpid oracle]

Did you start from main menu or from a primary save?

[tawdry sinew]

Is there a known issue with not being able to land on a freighter after you save it from pirates? I go to land but end up over the landing area in space and can not get into the freighter.

[analog crater]

primary save

[torpid oracle]

huh.

[solemn bane]

Screenshot your expedition tab

[analog crater]

bet

[torpid oracle]

You beam inside from your corvette, next to the hatch button

[analog crater]

OHHHHHHH

i forgot to collect the award from “one zero”

[tawdry sinew]

OK. Ill check that. Thanks

[solemn bane]

yep

[analog crater]

okay but it still isn’t letting me send stuff but now it says “end expedition”

[solemn bane]

Did you get the message with an Accept button?

[analog crater]

nope

[solemn bane]

Screenshot your expedition tab

[analog crater]

i saw a youtube vid a dude clicked end expo n then he got hit with the accept button idk if i should risk it

okay

expo screen colour is a lil glitched don’t mind that

[solemn bane]

what the christ

[analog crater]

😭😭😭😭

[solemn bane]

Maybe relog

[analog crater]

sure

nope still not working ima just end it see what it does

ahh shit wtf it worked

[turbid folio]

Took some time away from the game, played something more relaxing, then proceeded to kick sentinel butt
very glad i am free from this expedition. Idk if I will be using the corvettes, Def something I may take a bit of time to mess with

[analog crater]

ty for ur help bro been a huge help

[torpid oracle]

xbox update is out, for you buggy xbox players FYI
(still won't fix sentinel issues 😔 )

[analog crater]

will my egg automatically come w me

[solemn bane]

Claim it at the qs vendor on your primary save

[analog crater]

bet

[analog crater]

so i can end the expo properly n then on my primary save claim it

[solemn bane]

I thought you already ended it 🤔

[analog crater]

nah i’m ab to rn you end it then it tells you to add ur stuff and then you end it again properly

so should i fully end it n then claim the egg on my primary save

at the vendor

n i also had to quickly grab stuff from my freighter

[solemn bane]

That's how it'll work out, yeah

[analog crater]

bet ty

[solemn bane]

Oh damn. I guess I should update my Tips, Tricks and Workarounds for 6.04.

Wait no, I think the only bug-related stuff is the idiot sentinels, lol.

[torpid oracle]

yeah, hitch hiking should be fixed though

[brave plume]

Anyone know where I Can get a "walker brain" for the conflict scanner?

[plush tendon]

I think you piss off sentinels on the ground until there’s a big walker that comes after you

You take down the walker and get it that way

They might have changed that since I last played

[torpid oracle]

well, normally you fight sentinels until the waves progress to the final wave at which point a walker spawns, but sentinels are bugged and that would be miserable to try to do

Instead:
Advance: Destroy - Install Corvette damage modules
Walker Brain
Starship Inventory Slot x 1
Conflict Scanner plans

You can get it for free

[solemn bane]

The last tip I added was "don't sell the walker brain" lol

[torpid oracle]

lol, have people been doing that?

I never even considered it

[solemn bane]

That's why so many people are asking that

[torpid oracle]

Like, you get the walker brain and conflict scanner plans in the exact same reward pool at the same time

[solemn bane]

Mine is not to question human nature, just to accept it and adapt accordingly.

Also I really want to do a sixth Corvette run but my finger is starting to hurt, lol.

[torpid oracle]

Hahaha, please do a speedrun and record it whenever you next do it, I have this need to see people speedrun this expedition. I feel like there's so much potential there

Someone claimed they saw someone else get a 2 hour time on a fresh save and I don't believe them. Not that it's impossible, but that someone actually bothered to try to do it

[solemn bane]

My problem is I love killing sentinels, which isn't conducive to speed. All my runs have had right around 300 sentinel kills. I think my next run will be a new permadeath character so it can have the Orbital Uplink recipe.

And I'm going to force myself to build a corvette that actually looks good and is functional

[solemn pebble]

has the community milestone been reached yet? for the 1200 quicksilver

[torpid oracle]

... Isn't that what you said last time?

[torpid oracle]

Yes

[solemn pebble]

nice

[solemn bane]

Shut up.

[spice prism]

Anyone else keep black screening and crashing when you land on a planet on the expedition

Literally unplayable

[outer meteor]

that might be just you

[solemn bane]

I tell you they just keep getting worse

[torpid oracle]

All of those except for that last one are kinda peak though

[solemn bane]

First one's growing on me though. Gonna do that Metroid ship style.

[fresh mica]

are you supposed to also get the egg on main safe file after finishing expedition? because i played for it but i didnt get it, only got on expedition safe file and couldnt carry over to main

[solemn bane]

Tryied turning multiplayer off?

[solemn bane]

yep

[spice prism]

Yeah still does it

[fresh mica]

what do i do if it didnt give me the companion egg on main safe file?

[solemn bane]

Maybe fiddle with the graphics settings. I've seen some unrelated issues get fixed just by setting them to default.

[solemn bane]

Oh, claim it at the quicksilver vendor

[torpid oracle]

Redeem it from the quicksilver dude

[fresh mica]

thank you so much, i havent done a expedition before

[solemn bane]

Yeah they make no sense. Just gotta do them a few times then you know, lol.

I also love how I have four versions of this picture because it's the easiest milestone to do right away.

[fresh mica]

will the expedition four sandworm egg thing ever be available again? i REALLY want the expedition to come back for the egg

[torpid oracle]

If you're on PC there's another way

[outer meteor]

how?

[torpid oracle]

Using cwmonkey's offline expedition generator

Or you can cheat it in using a save editor, but that doesn't make you feel like you earned it

[fresh mica]

whats that

[solemn bane]

Link's in my profile

[mellow badge]

almost all the issues people been having in exp got fixed it seems

[torpid oracle]

Not the sentinels, it'll be another patch cycle of recommending Salvageable Scrap 😔

[mellow badge]

thats a basic multiplayer issue, just use a Sentinel Boundary Map or find a player base thats next to a pillar

I guess Hello Games could upgrade their server hardware with a few dozen gigabytes of memory

[torpid oracle]

Except you typically need to fight sentinels to get said map, which is where the bug comes into play. You've confirmed that turning off MP fixes all the sentinel issues people are having?

[mellow badge]

I actually had zero problems fighting corrupted sentinels for the salvage glass

[torpid oracle]

I didn't have issues either, but others have

[mellow badge]

I looked on the fandom wiki and it shows that its not the only way to get the boundary map

[torpid oracle]

It's easiest to just recommend looting salvageable scrap though if they're having issues

Looking for a player base may be faster, or it could cause more headache for us when they can't find one

[icy solar]

How do i bring my corvette from my expedition once i completed it?

[torpid oracle]

If you started from your primary save then you can copy it over at the terminal at the anomaly. If you started the save as a fresh new one from the main menu, then you cannot.

[icy solar]

Ok cool I started from my primary. However I only see options to bring cargo and technology in the anomoly

[mellow badge]

the Sentinel Pillar I was pointed to after using the Boundary Map, had a player base at it named Pillar

[torpid oracle]

Yep. My point still stands though.

[mellow badge]

fighting the corrupted sentinels in VR was fun, had to make full use of the Cloaking Device and Personal Shield

[glass trellis]

Just popping back in to say thanks for the advice. Got it in two attempts. Would have been one but I my framerate tanked in the last phase due to all the Sentinels in addition to a radiation storm.

[mellow badge]

Neutron Cannon + Paralysis Mortar = Dead Sentinels

[glass trellis]

Yeah. I probably could have done it even faster if I had thought about installing a paralysis mortar. I've never used a neutron cannon before today but I'll be using it going forward

[runic rivet]

hmmm im confused ...
on the officila expedition link, the list of rewards are different from the ones we actually get... am I missing something ?

https://www.nomanssky.com/2023/08/expedition-eleven-voyagers/

[torpid oracle]

Check pins. The end of phase rewards are the ones redeemable account wide

[runic rivet]

wait ... am am ...

dum me ... desregard me ...

[glass trellis]

That's an old one. Look at the date.

[torpid oracle]

That is an understandable mix-up though lol

[crisp stump]

At the end of the Corvette expedition, I received the new pet's egg and set it to hatch, but unfortunately, I didn't realize there was no space in the Pets' inventory, and it disappeared. I repeated the expedition in another save, but I still can't get the egg. How can I solve this? Is there a way to redo the expedition from scratch so that the right to get the egg is reactivated at the end? Thank you very much.

You are only allowed to pick up the egg once.

[runic rivet]

yu can redeem the eg inside the expecition and I think you can transfer it back ?

[crisp stump]

You can only get the egg once and then it is marked as "Already Redeemed" and it becomes impossible to get another one.

[torpid oracle]

You could get one from someone else I believe

[crisp stump]

There should be a way to redo Expeditions as many times as you want in the same Save. :(

I don't have any other friends playing and I don't know how this could be done :(

ty a lot.

[torpid oracle]

You can try in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[mellow badge]

does that mod that lets you redo expeditions solo/offline even work correctly?

[torpid oracle]

Yes, but I don't think it would help them in this case if that's what you're asking

If it's not what you're asking then I'll say I've ran the first 3 expeditions with no issues, it's been great. It is and probably always will be the best thing I've seen someone make for NMS. I normally hate the FOMO factor of expeditions, it puts a bad taste in my mouth and makes me not wanna play them

[mellow badge]

to be honest, this Expedition is the only one ive seen have so many issues

[main kite]

so, have only been playing a little over 2 weeks, and started the expedition yesterday.
just finished it, except the optional "ride on someone else's corvette" or whatever it is.

Is there any point to play this one more? Or should i just end it and stuf stuff back to my main character (started in the same save)

and the community milestone, i assume that it complete for everyone at the end?

[wise wraith]

Can you go into old expeditions?

[faint mesa]

Only by modding I'm afraid.

HG has been doing reruns of the year's expeditions by the end of the year, in redux versions; so there's a chance you can do at least the ones from this year

Now, if I may ask a question: I claimed my rewards in my main save. The new cannon is in my inventory... and there's an option to build more. But I saw no blueprints. Can you actually make more? Like... as many as you want?

[main kite]

ok, i found how to complete the community milestone.

Turned on multiplayer and tried to hitch a ride. I ended up being dropped into space when the anomaly just disappeared from around me, so decided to just finish it up now.

[remote pine]

is it intentional that we can't build anything in planetary bases? And if so, how did some players whose bases we encounter do it?

[woven shadow]

Ugh don’t use that boarding hatch that drops straight down. When I was on a planet I was not able to get back on board my corvette!

[frail gate]

which parts are Maneuverability parts?

[faint mesa]

Engine ones I reckon.

[frail gate]

buy at the station with nanites?

Dang, I have like 100 nanites...

[faint mesa]

I had one missing... so I just bought (you use units). Could also trade too, perhaps.

[south salmon]

Any news if they're gonna extend the expedition?

Because, my god is it taking Nintendo forever to update the game

[faint mesa]

None for the time being

[thick umbra]

They may extend the end time

[south salmon]

Sorry, if I'm in the wrong channel but, why is it that nms takes forever but other games are quick? Is it the complexity of the updates?

[thick umbra]

Its just the way Nintendo does release it ...

[thick umbra]

As you see .. Apple is also behind

[south salmon]

Apple is still farther ahead of Nintendo by a longshot

I hope this changes in the future. Switch 2 hardware is better than before and shouldn't take this long

[remote pine]

anyone knows?

[thick umbra]

complain to Nintendo .. here its the wrong place

[woven shadow]

I made an actual decent-looking corvette! I think.

Is there a way to make corvette storage units/cargo racks work like the ones on freighters, where you can access and go through them fairly easily and use things in them if the corvette is on the planet with you?

[brave sable]

Oh my god there's so many bases on the starting planet that I can't find anywhere to deploy a refiner

[fringe oar]

have anyone used nomnom?

[faint mesa]

You don't necessarily need to: there are minerals with chromatic metal as a secondary element

You can mine them, the quantity you need isn't that much.

[thick umbra]

disable MP in Network

[faint mesa]

Oh, I almost forgot: that scene with the Radiant Pillar convention... I didn't get that. Was only one, like a normal save. I was wondering if it was because I had MP off, or some bug.

[final turret]

We'll get the update when Daddy Miyamoto says we can have it, and not a day before.

[rotund obsidian]

I have its a great tool

[fringe oar]

i cant redeem the unlocked starships in expedition 😭

[rotund obsidian]

Uhh

I'm pretty sure the regular ships were disabled for the expedition

In past expeditions it has worked

Did you change the save or the account data

If you changed the save you should change the account data so you have it on all saves

[fringe oar]

what i mean is the game stating that i already redeemed the starships

but there's nothing in my docked ships

[rotund obsidian]

You cant have regular ships in the corvette expedition

It just dosent let you

You can try and go into nom nom and make it think you haven't redeemed it by changing the data in your save then quicksilver companion

[fringe oar]

ill try to tamper ts, ty

[rotund obsidian]

If I could hop onto nms I would check for you

But my main save is bricked atm

[waxen wadi]

any possible cause you think is messing with fps?

[frosty carbon]

before the latest patch turning off multiplayer boost my fps around 60

[thick umbra]

delete TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML and run NMS again

[fringe oar]

so I got all of these unlocked, should I lock it again? the starships

frigates works, starship doesnt work 😭

[frosty carbon]

oof again, seems will have to do it after every update, thx anyway

[rotund obsidian]

Try that

[fringe oar]

i think I can replace it with this

[rotund obsidian]

If it dosent work its hello games restrictions

[rotund obsidian]

Try but back it up

[fringe oar]

oh yeah, i can change the type lol

[fringe oar]

the save file?

aight

[visual plank]

Only edit that stuck for me was Supercharging slots.

[thick umbra]

Not sure if that does fix your issue .. but its always worth to try

[woven shadow]

It’s annoying that you can’t seamlessly access the storage in your corvette like you can the storage in your freighter. And the cargo racks aren’t numbered so it’s hard to tell which is which!

[visual plank]

They're not separate storage, they're access points FOR the Freighter units.

[rotund obsidian]

Did you save the edits?

[visual plank]

Yes.

[woven shadow]

Woo I did the Hitchhiking milestone

[visual plank]

I was trying to give myself back a stack of 1500 CM the Refiner bug ate.

[tired condor]

How do you board a freighter in a corvette? I went to get my free one and it just parked me in space

I jetted around for a while but couldn’t find a door lol

[rotund obsidian]

You have to use the building on top

It has doors

[tired condor]

Ah ty

I’ll check next time

[faint mesa]

There's a button near the cockpit entrance of your corvette that will teleport you

[tired condor]

Oh damn

[fresh barn]

I have traveled far away from the expedition areas (anomaly, quest etc). How do I find my way back? Pretty sure current expedition route is like a thousand systems away. How do I know which base/where to teleport to get back to the start of expedition? or just get back on track. I need to reach second rendevouz

[tired condor]

That’s helpful

[rotund obsidian]

There is a teleport....

[tired condor]

I wondered what that other button was for

[rotund obsidian]

I can give you glyphs and system name once I get nom nom up if you want

[fresh barn]

i dont have the teleport/portal thing unlocked in quest

[rotund obsidian]

I can give you system name tho

[fresh barn]

How do I use that?

[rotund obsidian]

So you can use the station teleporter

To get to the station in that system

[fresh barn]

So I just go to the teleporter and look for a base or something with that name? Please send yeah 🙂

[visual plank]

It also teleports you to the ground if you park in the air instead of landing. Saves launch fuel.

[rotund obsidian]

Ill give you the station name thats along the route

[gritty snow]

i've finished the expedition on a second character can i get the mouse companion egg on my main character as well?

[rotund obsidian]

Ues

Ues*

Yes

Stupid mobile keyboard

[gritty snow]

sweet, just from the QS fella?

[rotund obsidian]

Its account wide if its a expedition reward

[rotund obsidian]

Yes

[fresh barn]

That would be great thank you. on PM or here in spoiler text?

[rotund obsidian]

Which would you prefer

[fresh barn]

either is fine, but for simplicity can just send here if you can

[rotund obsidian]

|| Ganariysh platform || if you dont have it i can give you another one

[fresh barn]

Thanks!

[rotund obsidian]

Could you help me try and fix my save?
Bc I cant actually load in to the game it crashes while loading on my xbox and laptop

[fresh barn]

how do i help?

[rotund obsidian]

Friend code so I can try joining you to see if that fixes it

[fresh barn]

what's weird is that the system is apperently "nearby" yet i couldnt see it on the galaxy map. ill just teleport though

sure, sec

network system is down btw, could be why. if not ||6SRD-D5RA-1NQ2C||

[rotund obsidian]

Its not even loading in offline

It just crashes

[fresh barn]

hmm strange. anyway the code is there im afk but online so you can try

[rotund obsidian]

Cool

If it works i can help you do some expedition stuff

And some gravitino balls if you want bc I have just a couple......

I think you also have to put my code in

Bc your not showing up

|| ZHPZ-WN0Q-TF7XY || is mine

Ill start preparing nomnom to load a previous save incase that is the only option

[fresh barn]

added, maybe it works now

[rotund obsidian]

You show up now

[frosty carbon]

No dice, seems this patch causes performance issues for some.

[thick umbra]

Only if in expedition and MP enabled ?

[rotund obsidian]

Its telling me that it needs an upgrade

[thick umbra]

I dont see performance issues at all

[rotund obsidian]

Its hard to upgrade it when it dosent load into single player

[frosty carbon]

On steam other players have same performance issues after latest patch.

[rotund obsidian]

Might be steam....

[frosty carbon]

How so?

[rotund obsidian]

My xbox dosent get performance drops

Its running a bit smother actually

And the console is actively failing

[frosty pine]

I'm glad the expedition was short because i can fully play Silksong, but when are we getting a new expedition?

[rotund obsidian]

There still is one running....

[frosty carbon]

Well Xbox and pc works differently

[rotund obsidian]

Its worked better on my laptop too

[frosty carbon]

Steam?

[rotund obsidian]

Sadly no

Costs too much

I poor

[frosty carbon]

Gamepass?

[rotund obsidian]

Bought on xbox

Originally thru disc

[frosty carbon]

Hmm Xbox version can't run on pc/laptop

[rotund obsidian]

It can

I downloaded it straight from xbox app

Hold on ill show

[frosty carbon]

Oh ok so gamepass

[rotund obsidian]

No

Its in my library

Oh wait it needs to update

[frosty carbon]

Ok note Xbox app version games still work different than pc version on steam or other launchers.

[rotund obsidian]

I know the other launchers are better

My laptop is mad bc amd athlon processor

[novel idol]

what do i click to send things to my main save file?

[glass trellis]

You can't do that until you finish the expedition

[novel idol]

so all the optional challenges?

cuz ive done all the main ones

[glass trellis]

Oh. In that case, all you need to do is highlight one of those empty inventory spaces and put your items in them

[novel idol]

whats in there rn is what i took in with me but it wont let me take things out

I just dont want to mes up again

[glass trellis]

Hmmm... You might have to do the optional ones then because I'm not having issues with it but I've done all the optional objectives

[mossy flint]

maybe this question was answered before. hope someone can help

i finished expedition 19. transferred all items in couple of save and load runs. but. in expedition lobby in my inventory i still have Mecha-Mouse Egg and i can’t transfer it through Expedition Terminus. how can i get this egg in my normal game and what should i do?

[glass trellis]

Speaking of which, we can claim the companion egg in the Anomaly later, right? I don't wanna end it and accidentally lose it.

[glass trellis]

Yeah. I'm dealing with that too

[mossy flint]

just saw your previous message. stupid. sorry

[glass trellis]

Nah. It's all good. Just letting you know that you're not alone in trying to figure this out.

[mossy flint]

let’s see, if someone has aswer

[novel idol]

i got it

i had to click end expidtion then it unlocked it to transfger

[glass trellis]

Just went searching old posts and it seems that we just end the expedition and we can claim another one from the Quicksilver merchant

[rocky kernel]

Yep

[mossy flint]

ou. ok i’ll try.

another thing. just went to egg station inside expedition and every time you use station it’s copying the egg😬 hope it wouldn’t break anything

[glass trellis]

I didn't try hatching it but I just ended and my egg is there

[novel idol]

wait how to i use this now?

[faint mesa]

Go for the normal starship upgrade terminal, in the back of any space station; and apply upgrades there, it's valid for corvettes too.

[novel idol]

Can i use the one in the amonoly?

[faint mesa]

I don't think the Anomaly has one, unless they added it recently

[lusty slate]

QS merchant will have an egg for you.

[novel idol]

what about the ones for player inventory?

[glass trellis]

Same principle as the starship one. Use the exosuit upgrade station.

And the same thing for the multi tool

[rotund obsidian]

Exosuit terminal

[novel idol]

okay nice got it

[faint mesa]

This. Will only add that the Anomaly has this terminal too, should you want to do it there

For starships, it's the scrapping terminal, near the place where you build the regular starships

[rotund obsidian]

As soon as I looked at my tv to check how nms was going my bricked save stopped loading

And crashed the game

Like for real let me do the expedition

[clear hornet]

Finally done with the expedition. Surprisingly one of the simpler ones. 🙂

[mossy flint]

ended the expedition. got the egg on “other” side via QS merchant. thank you and @glass trellis !

[sour harness]

can you get a freighter in expedition ?

[woven shadow]

Okay I have figured out some more corvette stuff and I have an idea of what I want to build in my main save.

I figured out how you get to and from freighters with the corvette - basically there is a teleport button by the hatchway.

[dark marsh]

Anyone know how to complete the "Advance: Move" what modules actually count towards this I am having a hard time figuring out what to look for.

[livid karma]

I think you can track it to show exactly what counts
but I believe thrusters do

[limpid inlet]

I'm currently modifying my corvette but I haven't saved it yet

Is there a way I can like save the design it currently has (before I finalize the edits I'm going to make)?

Basically how it was right before entering the customization terminal

[dark marsh]

Thanks! Expedition complete! I thought for some reason because the engine limit had been reached they wouldn't count anymore but I was wrong,

[toxic pier]

Is there finally a new expedition?

[glass trellis]

There's an expedition focused on the new Corvettes happening right now if that's what you're referring to

[wise wraith]

Old expeditions accessible after completing new one?

[sonic prism]

How do you start an expedition? It says there isn't any but there will be an alert

[tough sluice]

Every time I've found someone to help with with Hitchhiking, I crash. Sigh.

[tough sluice]

Though there will be reduxes of all the ones from this year at the end of it

[wise wraith]

What’s the point then?

[true shoal]

To play it while it lasts

[indigo falcon]

the version of the expedition at the end of the year has a 2 week duration and the milestones have usually been tweaked so it can get done in that compressed timeframe

some people prefer to play them at the end of the year, or for one reason or another cannot play some expedition when it's first released, so this is great for the holiday period

[tough sluice]

I am really ready to give up with this Hitchhiking step

[slate drum]

do i really have to do this?

[visual forge]

QQ, My buddy is on rendezvous 5 of expedition 19 and we cant see the emblem on the map for where its at. We are currently at rendezvous 4.

[glass trellis]

Yeah

[visual plank]

Plant some nipnip buds, they grow fast.

[lilac dagger]

Mine did the same but it's just the main control unit at the space station

Same place as the other 4

[slate drum]

yeah i still have to find materials

[visual forge]

Yea but we cant find the space station

[lilac dagger]

Ohhh I see what you mean

Dang

[visual forge]

Yea we can see the location on the galaxy map

[lilac dagger]

Maybe restarting will fix it

[visual forge]

Theme of the game haha, restart and try again!!!!

[visual plank]

Faecium: Dihydrogen+Carbon in Refiner, try Scrap Dealers on stations (back right, bottom floor) for the buds.

I swear the Refinery system in this game is on some Chinese Spirit Alchemy bs.

[random lance]

I forgot most of the game and I dont know how to get off the planet

in the new expidition

[visual plank]

Go to your ship, go through the interaction, you get a blueprint for an item that teleports you to the station.

[random lance]

hmm

okk

30 metal

How do I craft chromatized metal?

[slate drum]

refine copper

[random lance]

Theres no copper on the planet I think

[slate drum]

youll find it

just look around

[visual plank]

Hold F to look for blue diamond icons.

[random lance]

OMG TY

[halcyon bobcat]

There is always copper on the planet you first spawn on. You just look around with your Analysis Visor for it and you should already have the Terrain Manipulator unlocked.

[visual plank]

(or whatever the controller button is)

[dark marsh]

Does you starship from the expedition transfer to your main save when you complete it?

[visual plank]

Expedition starts you with a TM preinstalled.

[wraith junco]

U can copy last used ship to main i think

[halcyon bobcat]

I have seen people say that you can after you complete the Expedition.

[halcyon bobcat]

Yeah that's what I meant.

I finally got the point where I'm out of Sodium and none of the planets on the last few systems I've been to have any on it. I'll need to warp to an earlier system where I know there is some. I also need to gather materials for growing plants in my ship. Been so long since I did that.

[random lance]

oik, im at a space station npw

but no ship

Can I teleport to the freighter or?

[final turret]

So, if I'm right, there's an objective in the current expedition that requires you to ride in another player's Corvette, right?

[tacit pollen]

this expedition is so buggy 😭

[visual plank]

every planet has some sodium.

Yellow flowers/crystals.

[visual plank]

Optional.

[wraith junco]

Idk if it matters but I played offline and it was ok.

[visual plank]

Expedition complete, no hitchhiker goal.

[halcyon bobcat]

Yes but every planet also has aggressive sentinels making exploring to find them a bit risky.

[limpid inlet]

I was searching for a derelict freighter and I found it but I gotta go, will it still be there if I quit?

[visual plank]

Maybe land on it and save?

[halcyon bobcat]

I don't think I ever tried quitting while on one before.

[limpid inlet]

Ok

I docked my ship to it and saved

It seems bugged anyway like I fell through nothing

[indigo falcon]

there's t least one world with sodium and no hassle; it was either the starter planet (mine before you first depart the planet) or one of the dissonant worlds in a system on the route, not necessarily a rendezvous system. I got a pile of sodium early.

(corrupt sentinels, like regular nonaggressive ones, do not care if you mine terrain deposits)

[halcyon bobcat]

Oh yeah I know I saw planets with it I just happened to run out now that I'm past the second checkpoint and noticed none of the planets have deposits of it. I really should have been gathering that ahead of time but lesson learned and good thing I make sure to land on every space station and try to document where I've been.

[indigo falcon]

I ran into precisely 0 sodium plants on the run (before completing the expd) so I was glad to see the deposits

[halcyon bobcat]

Those plants are on any planet that has hazardous conditions and I had gathered a few of them on my spawn planet but I haven't stuck around on any planet long enough to do any searching other then quickly grabbing copper before the nearby aggressive sentinel could spot me. So glad I don't have to land the Corvette to get out and gather stuff.

[indigo falcon]

there should have been some on the starter planet but I ran across none. amazingly bad luck. but I fell into a cave early on so cobalt + ferrite dust -> ion batteries, I was all set for a while

otoh I wound up with an absurd amount of oxy

[halcyon bobcat]

Nice. Too bad those batteries can't be used for ship shields. No those have to use their own special batteries...which I need to double check if I can craft and what they need.

[indigo falcon]

I did not rely on sodium to refuel the ship shields at all, weirdly. close to a station usually, and with the interceptors I just knocked them out 1 2 3, decent luck yet again

[halcyon bobcat]

I finally got some shield parts for my Corvette on the last Salvage run so next time I load up the game I need to install one so I can handle ship battles easier. Plus if I'm not mistaken that is one of the mission objectives so win/win. :D

[indigo falcon]

it is, and I did find those parts pretty quickly

oh wait, the shields is where they give you two and you need to get a third?

yeah I traded for the third part

[halcyon bobcat]

I did just jump through several systems without checking out any of the planets for too long so if I messed up it's my own fault. Lucky you for getting one so quickly. I filled up my inventory twice and didn't get any shield parts until now. I haven't done any part trading but I might want to sell some that I have extras of. Especially since I guess I can't take them with my once the Expedition is over.

[indigo falcon]

well you can shove 'em on the corvette and copy that 😄

[halcyon bobcat]

That...is also true but man would that look like a horrible monstrosity.

I do feel good about the fact that I used all the starter parts to build my ship originally and it looked pretty good.

[visual plank]

Actually, you can transfer your whole Expedition inventory if you really want to...https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/4629230764944262330/

[indigo falcon]

mine does look like a horrid monstrosity and it's pretty funny tbh

[indigo falcon]

does that method still work? I thought they had aajusted that so you can only collect from the terminal when you have officially ended the expd, so one time collection only

[halcyon bobcat]

Well that's good to know. Nice little trick if a bit tedious.

[visual plank]

I am actively using it right now.

[indigo falcon]

oh sweet

[halcyon bobcat]

Bookmarked for later use.

[indigo falcon]

might go collect more parts if that's the case, heh

or.. I could just collect 'em on main, meh whatever

[halcyon bobcat]

It seems either way you either find a way to get the items transferred or you get paid for them in either units or nanites. I'm sure by the end of this I am going to be so much richer...for a short while anyway.

I still remember when I first started I struggled to make money and now I got my first million by selling a single item in the first hour of the expedition. How times have changed.

[indigo falcon]

units are never an issue in nms anyways, you can always scrap sentinel ships if you've got no other money making mthods set up yet

[halcyon bobcat]

Well I've also had the game since launch so many of the options people have now didn't exist back then.

Granted I also went large periods and updates without playing so I'm still not expert at the game.

[visual plank]

‘Member Thamium-9? I do.

[indigo falcon]

lol

the classics...

speaking of which, there's always the stasis device farm. longer to set up but sure is reliable

(I have never set up a mine of activated indium or any similar money making operation, just not my style)

[woven shadow]

All right! I completed all the milestones. Time to go back to my main save.

So I can get interesting corvette parts by digging up salvaged scrap or fabricating them on derelict freighters.

After I have returned to my main save and squared things away, I know just what planet to go digging on.

[faint mesa]

If I can be boring, repeating a question: once you have claimed the cannon upgrade for corvettes... can you make more?

The option is there in the inventory, but I didn't see a blueprint

[indigo falcon]

if you have the materials, then yes

[faint mesa]

Oh, nice! Just to confirm, there's no blueprint?

[visual plank]

The blueprint is in the Corvette Construction screen, not the inventory.

[faint mesa]

Ohhh, that explains it. Thank you!

Wonder if that can be gifted to anyone that misses the expedition.

[indigo falcon]

not in any easy way; you need mods or a service that can trigger the changes to your save file

[faint mesa]

Oh, I thought it was kinda like the Vulture parts: could be gifted to players that missed the expedition.

The cannon seemed like a normal item in my inventory.
Granted, I have much to learn about corvettes...

[indigo falcon]

oh the cannon itself. not sure if those parts can be gifted. the blueprint, no

[faint mesa]

Yep, the cannon. Think I'll give it a try once the expedition is over... for science.

[vapid jewel]

Anyone know why when trying to edit the design it won’t let me change anything or add anything

[frank yarrow]

Hitch a ride for a hitch a ride anyone?

[acoustic prairie]

How long is this expedition taking for everyone? Have the game on switch 2 and am eagerly awaiting the ability to build my own Corvette.

[visual plank]

I've done it twice in about a week.

Once on a new character, once on my main.

[covert turret]

incorrect placement??

[wraith junco]

I did it in like 5h. 1h i was trying to get a sentinel ship.

We all hope that switch update will drop soon

[remote pine]

why can't I build bases on planets?

[faint mesa]

Just shy of 3h. This one can be a quick one depending on how you choose to play

[lilac dagger]

Took me about 10 hours of going slowly through it

Twas a quick one

[wraith junco]

Not enough materials to build computer? To close to other base? Idk

[remote pine]

i built a computer but then when I open building menu it's almost empty

[lilac dagger]

Are you near your corvette

If you're too close to the vette it'll only give you vette building options

Did you figure out the issue

[fiery whale]

So ive never played Expeditions and just now after years playing this game, only now i discovered that they are temporary, and it is not possible to play the past ones
Is it really worth it now that its already so far ahead?
how exactly do they work?

[fair shoal]

Now that I'm done, the expedition was fun but also kinda disappointing imo

End rewards are a bit lackluster, but it was a good way to introduce new players to the process of building a corvette at least

Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

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

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

[fiery whale]

oh there are reruns of the old expeditions?

ill pay attention to that then, thx

in any case, guess modding would be the easiest way to do so

[wraith junco]

They usualy start around end of november/ start of december

[fiery whale]

alright, think ill start the Corvette expedition then
and either wait for that or mod for the other ones

[hoary tapir]

Is the phase 5 optional milestone a community thing or what because I did the requirement and it didn't give me my reward

[visual plank]

Did you interact with the station AI a second time?

[hoary tapir]

No?

[visual plank]

Do that and it triggers a second interaction.

[hoary tapir]

Great. At least the rendezvous systems are marked

[visual plank]

It’s only the last one you have to talk to.

[hoary tapir]

You can talk to any of them

[astral lodge]

Are interceptors broken right now why are they so hard on this expedition

[indigo falcon]

they aren't broken that I know of. I came out after first warp, got the hostile response, and with no special upgrades to the ship or anything, and kind of slowly to be fair, whacked them each 1, 2, 3 and that was that

I don't spend a lot of time doing combat in games, so if I can do it, you can too

[astral lodge]

They are just so fast for our Corvettes

[indigo falcon]

I did use the lock-on-if-you-hold-the-brake-key thing, which helped as far as that goes

mostly rotating in place to take potshots, letting 'em get close enough

I did add all the ship weapons I got so that I could rotate through a couple ones, onoe for shields and one for damage after that, in case that helps

[torpid oracle]

I find that Corvettes in general feel like they have crappier handling in terms of rotation speed, but I haven't tried to min max them yet either so...

[indigo falcon]

at first warp your corvette is likely pretty small and basic, without a ton of extra pieces on it (yet)...

I do feel like they are rather clunkier than a good sentinel ship or exotic, but having one for looks, I mean, mostly all those 18 ship slots are about looks anyways, right?

plus it's cool to walk around your ship, be able to take friends with you etc

[torpid oracle]

Yeah, but how many boosters are needed to make it compare to a typical starship? I feel like even with 6-8 of them it's not close. I feel like you'd need like, 20 of them, which feels excessive.

[indigo falcon]

I thought only the first 3 count as far as stats anyways

[true solar]

So what's the next redux

[cloud marten]

Guys how do i refine without refiner ??? I just farmed copper

[torpid oracle]

Do they? I don't know how it works, I just know the handling feels bad lol

[torpid oracle]

You definitely need a refiner

a portable one

[indigo falcon]

build a portable refiner, you have the recipe from the start.

[torpid oracle]

We don't know

[cloud marten]

Wdym i don’t see it ???

[indigo falcon]

build menu -> the first tab I think

the tab has an icon of the refiner at the top iirc

[rough ferry]

Sorry if this has been asked a million times
I just finished the expedition and afaik I cant transfer my corvette back to my main save.
However, can I at least transfer the parts? Would I have to put those into the expedition terminus?

[indigo falcon]

can't you copy the ship once you're on the main save, for the usual fee of some nanites?

[torpid oracle]

If you started the expedition on your main save then you should be able to copy it over. If you didn't then you can't transfer anything at all without the help of another person (in this case they'd only be able to transfer the parts, very, very slowly)

[wraith junco]

U can send items multiple times through expedition terminus by switch to main save in options back and forth.

[rough ferry]

That's nice, I started from my main save. Just wasn't sure what I'd loose when I end the expedition.
Thanks! :)

[wraith junco]

So u shuould be able to transfer all parts at least

[rough ferry]

Ohh that's very useful!

[torpid oracle]

You shouldn't even have to transfer the parts though, you're supposed to be able to transfer the ship all in one

[rough ferry]

Yeah, I'll try doing that first and make a backup just in case it doesn't work 😂 Though it would surprise me if it didn't

[scarlet storm]

Does the expedition quest on my alternative save benefit my main save in any way, if so how?

[snow jay]

all Expedition Rewards are "account wide" and will be with you on any Save File from previous sessions or the ones you will create in the future

Account Bound if you use MMO terminology

I have a different question. How does having multiple corvettes work in regard to copying ship to normal save. Will I have a choice or it will copy current one or something else? Could someone knowledgeable elaborate on that point?

[supple onyx]

Hi everyone I just started NMS yesterday. Excited to explore the stars with yall

[snow jay]

yay \o/. Join us in expedition :)

[rough ferry]

Nice to have you on board, traveller

[supple onyx]

Is this a mode or server or pve experience? Completely new to the game have like 2 hours on normal just got a warp gate

[snow jay]

Expeditions (I'm new as well) so far feels like fast track around game features and especially new content with cutting some of the grinding sides. Will give you a good look around and will boost you into the game. If you just started and create a new save selecting Expedition - than at the end of it all the stuff you collected will be transfered to normal automatically :)

[supple onyx]

Gotcha gotcha sounds like a plan

[indigo falcon]

if you have an empty ship slot, you will have the option at the anomaly terminal from the main save to copy the equipped ship on the expedition version of the save. (for some nanites)

[rough ferry]

Yup, just got my corvette back for around 2000 nanites!

[snow jay]

so before ending the expedition I need to select the "required" ship as current and then end it. Thank you :)

[indigo falcon]

once you have copied it, you cannot immediately copy it again. but you can disassemble it down to a minimal build, trade that away at the space station, (scrap whatever you tradefor, why not?) and then go to he terminal and get a new copy, repeat until bored/out of nanites, this is a way to essentially trade nanites for parts

[indigo falcon]

in this case, the current expd, you'll have only the one ship so no need to equip it

[snow jay]

I cannot have more than one? :) I actually did not try

[indigo falcon]

in the expd I think you are limited to the one ship. (rumour mill)

[snow jay]

I actually love the concept, nomad kind of adventure. Keep your stuff compact and carry it with ya :)

even Gunter likes me, how cute

[inner vortex]

how tf do I get/install corvette modules?

[rough ferry]

Yeah, also makes kind of a nomad/explorer roleplay really nice...thinking about starting a new save for that.
For now, we only had freighters for that

[snow jay]

You find this console at any Space Station

[inner vortex]

nvm just got it thanks!

[worldly sluice]

should I get a freighter from the expedition? is there a missio nrelated to it?

[solemn bane]

nope

[storm tangle]

anyone having version mismatch? im on a mac and it looks like im missing an update...

[torpid oracle]

Hey, idk if you already started the expedition but if you havent, I typically recommend newer players complete the story of NMS first. By completing the story you can be sure you've played long enough and learned enough things to ensure an enjoyable experience in the expedition without it affecting your enjoyment of the regular game.

[torpid oracle]

Correct, Mac hasn't gotten their update yet

[pliant tartan]

Is the "Resistance" Milestone bugged ? It's at 100% but won't complete for me ? (i'm at phase 5 and missing only 2 optional milestones)

[torpid oracle]

Read the bottom line

[pliant tartan]

I thought it was that, but I don't seem to have any particular option at a station core, is there a specific one ?

[torpid oracle]

Nope, I used the last checkpoint system but if you target the milestone you should be able to complete it at any station core

[pliant tartan]

Alright... Must have tried without the quest active 🥲 Feels dumb.. Thanks ! ❤️

[supple onyx]

Gotcha. How long would you say the linear version of the story is? I'm very early just made a warp gate and traveled to first station

[solemn bane]

@torpid oracle Either the sentinels were fixed, or the bug is only on normal combat settings (starting my permadeath run and it's proving to be more interesting, lol)

[bleak turret]

guys, where os the list of sugested stuff to bring into the expedition? my friend wants to speedrun it

[indigo falcon]

people are speedrunning it with nothing brought in. if you want to save a tiny amount of time: "some" gold, silver, a sentinel boundary map. also check pins for tips

[solemn bane]

For a speed run I'd say a Sentinel Pillar Map and Chromatic Metal among the other usual things

The Chromatic Metal would save you a lot of time making Orbital Uplink items so you can get into space stations after you warp quickly

[indigo falcon]

it also means fast recovery from a variety of bugs that get you stuck in various weird locations

[bleak turret]

speed, but he is a bit on the noob side and his gear is terrible

[bleak turret]

what is the usual thing?

i usualy just bring warp fuel

[solemn bane]

Neutron Cannon + upgrades will help with killing sentinels easily

[bleak turret]

and nanites + credit materials

[indigo falcon]

sodium dihy carbon oxy etc... so you can get just the minimum on the starter planet

[solemn bane]

Carbon etc. The stuff you usually need in this game to do stuff.

[indigo falcon]

but honestly, I came with nothing and didn't feel like it bogged me down whatsoever

[bleak turret]

i usualy go for the "grab as i need"

but he wants to have as less strugle as possible

[solemn bane]

Sure, fine if you're not literally speed running. This expedition is pretty easy, aside from the bugged sentinels.

[umbral iris]

how it comes so many animals are violenty. thats cool. more action

[indigo falcon]

special tweak for this expd I think, rather like the sentinels

[solemn bane]

The sentinels were definitely bugged, not tweaked. They aren't supposed to run a mile away and reset the timer like that. But like I said either they are fixed or it only affects the default difficulty settings, because they were all over my ass when I cranked the settings up

[indigo falcon]

tweaked to have aggro on all worlds except dissonant

[solemn bane]

Oh, that's a new setting I think. The animals you can control in the difficulty settings

[indigo falcon]

the frequent predators would be I guess an additional tweak in the same spirit (don't know, just guessing)

yep, Pixy found it in the files

[inner vortex]

I just restructured my corvette and couldn't get in, so I reloaded and spawned in it...except there's no access point, so I'm literally stuck inside the ship. any ideas?

[solemn bane]

Can you craft an Orbital Uplink?

[inner vortex]

uhhh i dont think so? if that's part of the expedition i dont think I'm there yet

[solemn bane]

It's the first thing the expedition gives you. If you have 30 chromatic metal you can make one

[inner vortex]

OH OMG THANK YOU i totally forgot

[wraith moss]

Hi there. New NMS player here. Is the limited time expedition worth doing? If so, what can I get from this that I wouldn’t be able to after the expedition is over? Many thanks

[solemn bane]

If you start it on a new save you can get and keep the Orbital Uplink schematic, which is subtly the best thing in the game. Either way you get a "free" corvette, which is better in most ways to the regular ships imo (especially when you learn to use the teleport button at the back to beam down to planets rather than landing).

It's kind of a crash course, but should be easy enough for new players. You end up WAY ahead on units and nanites.

I'm on my 6th playthrough fwiw, lol.

[wraith moss]

Ah ok, thanks. I already started a save. Is there any way the progress can be transferred onto my current save?

[solemn bane]

On average I'd say people don't like this expedition nearly as much as me, but I don't think they hate it. The rewards were a bit lacking.

[solemn bane]

Nope, but you can just start it over on your pre-existing save if you want. Just go to the Anomaly and behind the Nexus to the right is the expedition terminal.

[wraith moss]

What do you mean by start it over?

[solemn bane]

Go to your "main" save and start it from there. Leave the other save to rot or whatever.

[thick yacht]

how hard is the expedition

[solemn bane]

Easy but there's some bugs that can hinder you. You can read my tips/tricks/work arounds in the pins

[wraith moss]

Sorry I’m not following. I just have the one save right now. I can do the expedition and claim the rewards on my current save still, right?

[solemn bane]

Ah, then yes, your expedition save will become a normal save at the end.

[thick yacht]

should i use my other save for it or make a new one

[wraith moss]

Ok. I’m currently in Survival and I have some resources and items that I’d like to keep hold of. That will all stay, right?

[solemn bane]

I would use the "other" save if you want to keep the rewards on it

[solemn bane]

Yes, everything you collect on a new save will stay through to when it becomes a normal save.

[thick yacht]

so the rewards are only on the save that does the expedition it does cross over to other saves

[solemn bane]

The unlocks are account-wide, any save can claim them, but like units and whatnot are only for the save you play them on. And you can only copy the ship on tyhe save you play it on.

[thick yacht]

will i lose my progress if i start it from my current save

[solemn bane]

nope, it's like a rogue-lite experience. It's a "new" game but you get put back in your old game afterwards

[thick yacht]

ok

[wraith moss]

It seems that you have to complete the expedition on a separate save, however when you want to claim the rewards you can do so on your “main” save from the nexus.

Correct me if I’m wrong?

[solemn bane]

It's confusing. There are two ways to do the expedition:

1. You can start a new save from the new game screen. Once you are done with the expedition, the save is converted to a normal save and you keep everything
2. You can start the expedition from an existing save and when you're done you get to keep some things

[simple raptor]

aw you dont keep orbital uplink if you play on an existing save?

[solemn bane]

Correct. I am starting a new save to keep it, lol. I could just save edit but eh. I like starting over.

[simple raptor]

dang

[solemn bane]

Oh and they can't be sent in the expedition terminal either.

[thick yacht]

what should i bring to start it

[solemn bane]

But they definitly work outside of the expedition.

[solemn bane]

I'd read my pins in this channel.

[indigo falcon]

you could give the tl;dr

eh well the tips pins are useful for other things than just what to bring though

[solemn bane]

I could do lots of things!

[indigo falcon]

you already do lots of things!

[wraith moss]

Hmm ok, what would I keep if it was only ‘some’ things?

[muted sapphire]

I am stuck in a hole

[solemn bane]

There's a terminal where you can transfer stuff (but not all stuff), you can copy your ship and multi-tool at the end, and you'll keep bases and some other stuff. But you started from a new save so you'll keep everything.

[calm helm]

reload your restore point save

[solemn bane]

Go to a sheer section of the wall and jet pack up the wall

Push your nose against it

[muted sapphire]

I don't have one and it's a pretty deep hole

[solemn bane]

Some people spawn in big chasms

[muted sapphire]

Okay I'll try that

Thank you

[calm helm]

Found a lifeless planet in a system with trinary stars 0.0

[solemn bane]

Oh I think I get it. The sentinels start running far away when they are at low HP, so when I crank up the difficulty settings it gives them higher HP. I bet the devs made it so they run away at a specific number of HP rather than a %

[indigo falcon]

oof

[formal flame]

I am near the end of the expediton. what is the best way to bring all those corvette parts back ?

[indigo falcon]

shove 'em onto the corvette and take a copy on the other side on the main save where you started the expd from (costs some nanites)

[south juniper]

anyone can help me do the the quest of riding ur Corvette

nvm

[calm helm]

turns out, the lifeless planet isn't so lifeless lmao

[formal flame]

sounds like a plan!

[solemn bane]

Ah, I didn't realize you get a Sentinel Boundary Map for completing the derelict freighter milestone now

Time for some updates

[torpid oracle]

Good to know. It wasn't in the patch notes so I was assuming they were still bugged

[solemn bane]

It may be this: #nms-expedition message

[torpid oracle]

I didn't see if you got an answer already, but I've heard estimates of around 20h, but it really depends on the player. I would argue 30-40+ hours is more likely bc you often get sidetracked (which is a good thing)

[torpid oracle]

Ah, gotcha

[indigo falcon]

wait really? I did not see that, meh. ok that makes that even easier

[torpid oracle]

That's even better actually

[indigo falcon]

oh yeah there it is in the rewards list and that's definitely new

[torpid oracle]

Very huge

[solemn bane]

Yeah someone pinged me on the Steam forums so I looked in-game. Sho nuff.

[indigo falcon]

I wrote down all of the rewards when I started the expd, per milestone, and that wasn't there. but it is now. sweet

[torpid oracle]

#nms-expedition message just to confirm it's new, it's not listed here

[solemn bane]

@hollow shore may be able to fix it (new reward on this milestone)

[shy ridge]

Can I make another Expedition save, I’ve accidentally deleted my main save that I’ve done it on-

[solemn bane]

You can make as many as you want
