nms-expedition

[hollow shore]

Wait what?

[solemn bane]

I just pinged who it was "shared by" #nms-expedition message

[shy ridge]

Oh, I didn’t know if it limited to me to one new save started as an expedition

[hollow shore]

That's fine, just trying to see what actually changed. So it is the Sentinel Boundary Map that needs added as a reward? Is that all?

[solemn bane]

Yep. Generally wouldn't care but it's been a huge deal in this expedition.

[hollow shore]

All good, I'll see to it being included

Not going to fully repost, just an edit should do

[mild cypress]

does my expedition inventory transfer over to my real safe

[solemn bane]

If you started the expedition from an existing save, you can transfer most stuff over via the expedition terminal. If you started a new save for the expedition, no.

[mild cypress]

well shucks

someone gave me like 30 storage expansions for a starship

....

but i thought u can only start one through a new save

[wise violet]

any recomnedations on how to do the hitchhiking acievement?

[solemn bane]

You can start them aboard the Anomaly behind the Nexus at the expedition terminal.

[mild cypress]

Go on the anomaly, go to a corvette, walk on board and have them fly

[mild cypress]

well its too late now

[solemn bane]

Never to late to play the expedition again. I'm on my sixth run, lol.

[lucid robin]

Can someone let me ride in their expeditionary corvette plz.. I need it for my last achievment

[wise violet]

you can join us in trying

[hollow shore]

@solemn bane Thanks again for making me/us aware, the pin has been updated accordingly

[mild cypress]

well yeah but its fine

Ill avoid people on the anomaly then HAHAHA

so they wont gift me stuff on this save-

[thick yacht]

how do i find the rendezvour station

[torpid oracle]

It's what you're pathed towards in the galaxy map, with the system itself having a yellow expedition icon

[rotund obsidian]

If you have a friend you could gift it to them and get them to gift it to your main

[mild cypress]

ahhhh good idea

does the harmonic brain not work in the expedition?

[solemn bane]

You can't claim any other ships

[mild cypress]

oh

okay

[drowsy thicket]

I was just about to ask this. LOL thanks for doing that for me. XD

[mild cypress]

Also kinda funny how

in this save

first sentinel ship

instant a cool one i never found on my MAIN

[solemn bane]

Put down a base or take a screenshot with the glyphs

[torpid oracle]

^

[mild cypress]

meh its fine, design is nice but its just boring orange

I can just find cool ones online

[solemn bane]

Or just find cool ones online

[quaint sable]

hey, i spawned in a discovered planet, is that normal?

[torpid oracle]

Yes, everyone spawns on the same planet in the same system

[hard rampart]

anyone doing the hitchhiker milesstone?

[torpid oracle]

My recommendation, if you can't find someone to help you, is to find a corvette to hop inside of at one of the checkpoint systems

[hard rampart]

they always spawn invisible

[torpid oracle]

6.04 should've fixed that issue

Unless you're on Mac, at which point you don't have 6.04 yet, which you may have to wait for

[hard rampart]

i patched earlier before booking, I'm also at the end and its the only one i'm missing, maybe i'll warp and restart to reload the area.

[torpid oracle]

I'd say you can try to get someone else to hitchhike with you, but if you're suffering from the invisible corvette bug then usually joining someone won't help

[hard rampart]

I finally landed and i saw one and hopped in, rather funny case we didnt even exchange a word and he know the deal.

[frail gate]

anyone else having trouble finding a pirate system? It's like they dont exist anymore

[indigo falcon]

I had to look around a little bit but there was one within easy jump range from where I was (don't remember which system)

[frail gate]

I am seriously scanning the entire space map and can't find one anywhere

[indigo falcon]

don't forget to turn around and check behind you too...

[junior spindle]

Question if i have things in storage on my corvette and edit the ship does it delete those items?

[indigo falcon]

no; the storage container is in the ether, when you rebuild the interface to it, the items will be accessible again

[junior spindle]

thanks

[indigo falcon]

you bet

[proper galleon]

when the expedition event ends and the expedition base gets merged into my primary save, at that point i will have two bases. but will the storage be different between them? get overwritten? or bug out?

[solemn bane]

It'll be mirrored across all containers

At all times

What's in the containers in the expedition goes away

[proper galleon]

but which set will it prioritize to mirror? im guess the older one

[proper galleon]

ahh i guess that makes sense

[solemn bane]

Yeah, the non-expedition, since it's based on the save you're on

[indigo falcon]

the bases that you build now, when they come to the main save, will have nothing carry over that is storage; the storage used by the main save is what you'll have

if you copy your ship from the expd save, itwon't bring any cargo back either (but the tech comes)

the rule of thumb is: if you want resources and stuff like tat, you have to put it in a slot at the anomaly terminal, that's the only way it gets back to the main save.

[proper galleon]

@solemn bane good to know. thanks yall

[indigo falcon]

I'm trying to imagine having just two bases.. 😄

[frank delta]

Are expeditions just us doing the story line all over again??

[waxen shuttle]

my corvette refinery is softlocked is there a way to reset it?

[wise violet]

what shpuld i do with the resistance mission? the last one

[proper galleon]

to be fair my primary save base was made years ago and was mostly bare bones. the expedition is also bare bones but it seems like im playing more than back when i started so it might outpace progress by the end of the expedition event

will most likely decide at that point which to main/dismantle

[frank delta]

Are expeditions just us doing the story line all over again??

[indigo falcon]

why dismantle anything? I've got soooo many bases across a pile of saves

[indigo falcon]

no they sure aren't

[proper galleon]

true! maybe not dismantle unless i rarely use them anymore but we'll see how it goes

[indigo falcon]

typically you don't do any of the main story during these.

[proper galleon]

ngl i was lowkey ready to do this again but i was pleasantly surprised to find out they have their own content

[frank delta]

how many hours do you think to complete it?

[proper galleon]

6-24 based on prior experience

[indigo falcon]

how much gameplay do you have under your belt now?

[frank delta]

100

[proper galleon]

for the average player prob a week or more depending on how often you play

[indigo falcon]

ah. yeah < 10 for sure, maybe < 5, depends on game-breaking bugs and whether you remember to use the orbital uplink early and often to get unstuck

we've got speedrunners out there doing it in < 90 mins in real time

[frank delta]

Oh i can def do that

[proper galleon]

i think the only part i was stuck on was the derelict freighter part because the game kept crashing until i decided to speedrun it (lowkey might be a memory leak here)

[indigo falcon]

then you have people like me: I am still in the expd run (though it's complete), wandering around and collecting things for no good reason (main save is wealthy and stocked with resources already)... thinkingof ways to make my sentinel pillar base nicer... oops forgot I shoudl re upload it so it stays visible

I had several "stuck" bugs, but derelict worked for me. also no multiplayer so I did not have to worry about the hitchiking milestone

[proper galleon]

oh i forgot, is uploading a base purely just to make it accessible to other players? i lowkey thought all bases were available to all players already

[indigo falcon]

and tbh I had a great spawnin on the starter planet, near a minor settlement, plenty of basic resources, a cave nearby etc etc

[indigo falcon]

if someone is in your lobby then you can see their bases but when they leave, you won't. uploading means they are visible for the world... at least, until a pile of other people upload more recently and yours gets pushed off the visible list

[proper galleon]

ah so i have to constantly upload the base for it to be visible to players more often?

i wonder how visible bases work if two players build a base in the exact same spot

[indigo falcon]

the first uploader wins

if the second one comes after the first one is uploaded, they will be denied permission

note that "visibility" is not the same as "server knows you have a base there"

uploaded. now I wait a minute or two, teleport back "home", and quit for the night.

[proper galleon]

i guess this is how they let bases built on the same spot or overlapping areas become visible with the recency system

cause i cant imagine how they would make that work if two players happen to build on the same or overlapping terrain

[indigo falcon]

if two players build at the same space and neither of them has uploaded (so hg's discovery service knows about neither of them), it is possible for one to upload and the other one will see the first player's base and their own ... I had this happen to me, heh

this usually only happens if people are building by a useful point of interest in an expedition (or if someone is trying to grief another player, which we hope no one here does)

[proper galleon]

interesting. i wonder what would have happened if you uploaded your base too

when you saw both bases did it conflict with your base or did it phase/clip seamlessly

[indigo falcon]

nothing good 😄 😄

[proper galleon]

😅 hoping that doesnt happen to anyone. cant imagine the headache of having to relocate

[indigo falcon]

if I'm trying to make a base that I ant visible to others, I will plop teh bare minimum down and uplaod instantly; first off, it can take up to 24 hours before it's available to other players, second of all, this minimizes the chance of someone else building there

typically these are not my "home base" but are just for the convenience of other players, so e.g. a sentinel pillar base was a handy thing before the rewards were changed (today?) to give out a sentinel boundary map from one of th emilestones.

in fact once word gets around about that, I might stop uploading the base, as it will no longer be necessary

[proper galleon]

whaat wheres my sentinel map😂 not that i need it but i dont think i got one after claiming the rewards.. what if they add more milestone rewards during the rest of the expedition🥀

those sentinel bases came in clutch tho so i appreciate that

my 4 star wanted kept dropping and i could never keep it at 5 to finish

[indigo falcon]

I doubt they will. the map was just to make One:Zero easier to do

[proper galleon]

well it is my first expedition after all. maybe i will upload it in case what i built helps other players (also dont want to deal with the nightmare of bases clipping)

thanks for the information

[indigo falcon]

sure, have fun!

[thick yacht]

anyone wanna do the expedition togather

[indigo falcon]

if you don't get a response here, try in #nms-lfg-or-trades too. (I don't have multiplayer available and already did the expd...)

[balmy pike]

Ok, I'm curious. I see videos of people saying they finished the expedition in 3 hours, but I'm onto the harvest plant section, and it's saying my plant is gonna take 8 hours to grow. So how are they finishing the expedition in 3 hours?

[hoary grove]

Plant growth speed is increased during exp

[indigo falcon]

what plant is it? I've got star bulbs growing in < 1 hour, frost crystal takes 10-12 minutes I think (special for the expd)

[balmy pike]

oh .-. it's the one that takes silver, I'll look and see if I can find those though.

[indigo falcon]

grav balls? those should not take 8 hours. go do a few milestones, come back and check them, see what they say then

[hoary grove]

Frost plant can be found on frozen planets, you'll need dioxide as well. That is also found on cold planets

[balmy pike]

I'm not sure x.x I'm super new, and just wanted to do this before I ran out of time for the expedition.

[indigo falcon]

I've seen a few streamers do gravitino hosts and they are pretty zippy to grow too

go do some milestones and come back to check on 'em. honest. it won't be 8 hours unless something's broken

[hoary grove]

You can scan them after planting and it'll show you the time remaining till "harvest"

12 mins for the frost plant (the blue one)

[balmy pike]

nvm it was Gravitinos, game is saying 2 hours now, after I restarted it cause it loaded someone elses ship in on top of me while I was asking XD

[hoary grove]

And once you harvest, it'll start growing the next batch automatically you don't need to plant again, so you can get it done with just two living walls easily

[balmy pike]

ok I'll see what's around and what I can do. I only chose the gravitinos cause I had most the stuff for it already

oh ok

[indigo falcon]

if they're already growing, no need to change up

[hoary grove]

I had an in general question, I have a decent tool I found on the expedition and carried over to my main save. It is a class B and kicked ass when it came to the wipe out sentinels mission

Should I upgrade the class? Ie. Would the sentinels scale if I increase the class to let's say A or even S?

[indigo falcon]

they do scale up but I think they scale their attacks based on the defensive upgrades you have, I need to double check that though... I had two S scatter upgrades plus the shell greaser when I went to whack on corrupt sentinels, but no shield modules, and a couple blasts made short work of them (from up nice and close)

I see from some very old patch notes "Sentinel health now scales dynamically with player weapon output" but this sure is not my experience, lol

[hoary grove]

I don't remember what upgrades I did but my bolt caster turned into a 3 round burst smg that did so much damage haha

I meant the tool grade/class itself, not the upgrades as such

Currently it is B class

I have another tool that is S class

[indigo falcon]

anyways yes it's worth maxing out your multitool, you don't just use it for sentinels after all

[hoary grove]

Fair enough, I wanted to build a multitool exclusively for wiping out sentinels; corrupt or not it's on sight whenever I see a pirate or a sentinel

[indigo falcon]

well exclusively for attacks, that makes sense (you might need to do in some biohorrors, or hostiles in derelicts, or bugs, or etc)

[hoary grove]

During heat level 5 there was this giant mech guy with 3 health bars didn't really understand how to tackle him efficiently

I stunned him by taking out his leg servos, damaged his torso but then the head did seem to take any damage at all

Eventually went random bullshit go and deleted him, but what was I missing?

[indigo falcon]

direct head shots will take it out, but stunning and immobilizing first is good, so it's not raining fire on you

[hoary grove]

Didn't seem to take any damage to the head after I took out his servos

[indigo falcon]

there used to be some sequence required (legs -> midsection -> head) but that was with the older walkers, I don't know if any of that is valid now

[hoary grove]

I see

[indigo falcon]

you didn't have any other sentinels around trying to heal it up, did you?

[hoary grove]

Upgrade class costs 25k nanites, should I upgrade it (would it make sentinel combat difficult)? (B to A)

[hoary grove]

No took those gnats out as soon as I saw them with the shotgun tech

[indigo falcon]

are nanites easy enough for you to come by? if so, always upgrade

[hoary grove]

I'm sitting on 75k nanites

I explore planets really slow and thoroughly, so I take my time

[indigo falcon]

I don't know why your head shots weren't doing anything, I've literally taken out a walker by blamming it 2-3 times in the head from close up, it had no time to get a shot off even... (I was on a structure at head level for this)

if you've not a burning other option for those nanites, sure, do the upgrade. might as well put them to good use instead of having them sit there

[hoary grove]

I was on an atmosphere less planet, had to jump around him like doom eternal to take him out 😂

[indigo falcon]

oof! 😄

[hoary grove]

Yeah but I'm worried about the sentinels scaling 😂

[indigo falcon]

don't worry. be happy and get yer good gear!

[hoary grove]

Hell yeah broder!

How do I get an exocraft? I want the car thing

[indigo falcon]

anomaly

[hoary grove]

Ok

So it's a base part iirc?

[indigo falcon]

you bu the 'geobay' for the exocraft you want

portable base part, uh huh

[hoary grove]

Ok yeah I remember the garage for the car before ok

Can I get some upgrade that lets me call it wherever I want instead of planting a base down first?

[indigo falcon]

you can pick it up once placed, after the vehicle spawns in, and take it with you (mm I think it stays as an item and doesn't revert to materials any more)

[hoary grove]

Like the portable refiner?

[indigo falcon]

lessee if you have a freighter in system with the orbital whatsit, then you can call any exocraft wherever, I think... I better look this up, it's been awhile

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Orbital_Exocraft_Materialiser this

so as long as the exocraft is placed somewhere (in the same galaxy? in one of the 255 galaxies?) it will be summonable

sorry I cannot remember the details, it's been too long and nms has a lot of very specific game mechanics

[hoary grove]

I'll take a look thanks. How do I get salvage data again?

I somehow have 20 I think

[indigo falcon]

dig up buried tech

[hoary grove]

Yes ok

There's so much to do in this game now it feels somewhat overwhelming

Like GTA online at this point

[indigo falcon]

there really is a lot, I can't imagine being a new player 😄

[hoary grove]

I've been playing for a year plus, this was my first expedition

Really wanted to do the dinosaur one too but didn't have time back then

[indigo falcon]

oh wow, congrats! I hope you are enjoying it

[hoary grove]

Oh I'm having a blast!

I once found a black hole in one of the solar systems during the expedition, how do I find blackholes in general?

[indigo falcon]

there will likely be a rerun of all this year's expeditions towards the end of the year, a holiday season kind of thing, each rerun lasts about 2 weeks

I think black holes are now visible on the gaaxy map in general, but you might be able to ask polo for coords. it used to be you had to complete the atlas path to see them but I think that's been changed, lemme double check

unclear. anyways asking polo can get you directions to one

[hoary grove]

Thanks I'll check with polo once

[indigo falcon]

(you should probably do the atlas path on your main save anyways, either way)

[hoary grove]

What do you mean by the expeditions returning I thought they were FOMO type of things?

[hoary grove]

I sent my coordinates to the robot guy after setting someone's soul free and then I've been doing my own thing ever since lol 😂

[indigo falcon]

every year since they started, the expds for that year get a "redux" run back to back 2 weeks per expd, with milestones revised a bit to make them doable in that shorter time frame

[hoary grove]

Absolute Gaming!

Lfg

So December?

[indigo falcon]

after that, an expd might return once, in a very changed form, during the redux season, but it's very hit or miss, i's more likly that a couple of the rewards might show up in one of the normal redux runs

[hoary grove]

Assuming reloaded run in during end of year

[indigo falcon]

november - december - into jan usually

[hoary grove]

Nice

They should implement a secondary expedition system along with a primary one

The community can vote on what expedition they want to activate for the secondary one, primary will always be entirely in the Dev's hands

Might make it complex but a voting system would be really cool like Forza Horizon 5 (hate the progression in that game, but voting for next season it awesome)

[indigo falcon]

we;ve only had three expeditions this year, I guess they might fit one more in before calling it done for 2025

[indigo falcon]

this would be very complex all right and also would split up the nms gaming community, part of the point is that everyone plays together the same story on the same worlds

note that the redux runs do not take place on the worlds where the original ran, it's a fresh set of systems

[hoary grove]

Perhaps maybe unlock the secondary only after you've completed the primary one?

[hoary grove]

I see so old guides won't be helpful, unfortunate

[indigo falcon]

old guides can be some help, as long as it's not "go to this world here" but more like "make sure you get X amount of this resource and collect the reward from Y milestone in order to..."

part of the magic too is watching player bases appear that help out otehr players on the route

if that's already done from the beginning, it's just not the same...

(also logistically a problem, since all of those bases will be normal mode bases and what does it mean if you can't build there as an expd player and etc)

[hoary grove]

Makes sense

[lime zenith]

Which system is the rendezvous 3.
I usually always make a base for each expedition & I didn't this time

[lilac dagger]

Rendezvous 3 had a beautiful lush dissonant moon

[spare ledge]

Rly

I need to get my Corvette over there

[lilac dagger]

Pretty sure it was R3

[spare ledge]

But I'm not trying to wait 4 years for my plants to grow

[indigo falcon]

pins have all the system names

[spare ledge]

Oh alr

[indigo falcon]

plant grow times are muh shorter in the expd, check the times once planted, you'll be surprised

[spare ledge]

It said 8 hours

And I only have enough for 2 at a time

[indigo falcon]

try save-exit-reload (and mp off for good measure), you should see much better numbers

[spare ledge]

So that's 32 if I'm online constantly

[spare ledge]

Ok

[thick yacht]

I started the expedition on my only save is their a way to go back to the normal game or I have to finish the expedition

[indigo falcon]

yes you can switch back at any time

freely go back and forth

[thick yacht]

Oh good how

Same way I started it

In the player hub thing

[indigo falcon]

https://imgur.com/d01twrD

[thick yacht]

Thx

[indigo falcon]

sure thing

[dull wadi]

Hey! Out of curiosity does the new expedition have to be done in a new save?

[solemn bane]

nope

[dull wadi]

What’s the treason some ppl are doing it on new saves tho? That’s why I got surprised at first haha

[solemn bane]

I'm doing it on a new save because you get a schematic that lets you make Orbital Uplinks, 30 Chromatic Metal to warp back to the space station

[solemn bane]

However I'd say most people do it on a new save because they didn't realize you could use an existing save.

[open dagger]

New save with an expo this buggy. I have already lost one new expo save trying to finish it. To much to risk a save with lots of hours

[solemn bane]

Weird, I'm on my sixth run. Two new, 4 with old saves.

[open dagger]

Livin on the edge 😉

[dull wadi]

Huh interesting, and I assume the schematic isn’t account wide?

[solemn bane]

Yeah, most of them are permadeath (and I hacked the config to make this expedition run permadeath/max all the difficulty settings). Almost bit it a couple times, lol.

[solemn bane]

Nope, and you can't even transfer the items.

[dull wadi]

😭💀

[solemn bane]

Such a time saver though. I don't even dock my ship when I enter a new system, just pop the item and I'm inside 😆

[open dagger]

Beyond my skills. Tip of the hat!

[meager vessel]

why they chose a sentinel aggressive planet as an expedition?

[solemn bane]

Plot. Lore, whatever. It's actually a new setting they introduced with this expedition.

[wraith junco]

To spice it up

[open dagger]

It is a general setting - you will find them everywhere... close your hatch at night 😉

[viscid mist]

How the hell do I get out of this situation 😭 😭

[meager vessel]

they also had a LOT of gravitino balls, I really couldn't resist free money

[viscid mist]

HEEEELP

[wraith junco]

Reload save

[solemn bane]

Craft an Orbital Uplink if you have the Chromatic Metal on you.

[open dagger]

Those uplinks are such a sweet addition to the game!

[viscid mist]

Apparently I didn’t need to

I opened my expedition menu right before I hit the ground and it cancelled fall damage somehow

Well that’s good to know

[dusky knoll]

are any of the rewards really worht it

[torpid oracle]

Honestly? Not in my opinion. But some people enjoyed the expedition, and many did it bc they're completionists

[indigo falcon]

depends on you. some people think the mech companion is quite cute, maybe you want the posters or other items. or maybe you find the expeditions fun generally

[torpid oracle]

It's also a short expedition, so you're not out too much time if you do it

[indigo falcon]

it does gve you some free corvette parts which you can take back to your main save, as part of the ship or not

[torpid oracle]

The Orbital Uplink and how speedrunnable the whole thing is are my two favorite bits of the expedition

[brisk kindle]

man this sentinel bullshit.. i beat all the sentinel on land when trying to recover a starship, and when i'm in the cockpit the interceptor are coming + cant repair shit

[indigo falcon]

summon the anomaly and go there

or... craft orbital uplink and whisk yuorself off to the system's space station

and with that, time to log off for the night, work starts absurdly early tomorrow. safe journeys, travelers!

[brisk kindle]

also where do I collect the items that I bring before I start the expedition?

[torpid oracle]

Same place you put them, at the anomaly

[brisk kindle]

ah alright thanks

[tacit pollen]

how to perform skywalk for 30s?

[glass belfry]

Go into space and exit your corvette

[tacit pollen]

where will I land?

[glass belfry]

You will float around in space now

Float around for 30 secs then go back into the ship

[tacit pollen]

I died

[glass belfry]

Were you out in space?

You need to be actually in space, not in a planet's atmosphere

[tacit pollen]

no I fell into a planet lol

[glass belfry]

Yeah, that's free fall, not space walk :p

Also, if you do free fall you can use your jetpack just before you hit the ground

[tacit pollen]

complete now thanks xd

[meager scroll]

@indigo falcon welcome back m'lord

[cinder charm]

what is the point of repairing dissonance ships in expedition if you cant claim them or the parts on them

[solemn bane]

Not much. But if you like them you can throw down a base and come back later.

[vernal flicker]

TY for the unglitch, expedition completed.

[glass shuttle]

If I do the expedition on a new save, the new save keeps the orbital uplink plans, right?

[solemn bane]

Yep

[glass shuttle]

but there's no way to get a save with both the singularity engine blueprint and the orbital uplink blueprint, right?

[solemn bane]

Could save edit I'm sure, otherwise probably not

[glass shuttle]

singularity engine isn't that useful, but I was totally going to make a save that had it since you gave us that option, but orbital uplink seems better

[solemn bane]

You can trade for it if someone else has it, or hand it off to someone for your other save

[glass shuttle]

true true, I haven't engaged with multiplayer much, might do that for completions sake

[solemn bane]

Oh and nomansapp can deliver one to you. I'm not sure what is/isn't paywalled though

If you're on PC you can just play that expedition again and send it back to your save

[glass shuttle]

oh you can just package one up and send it back? that's easy

I haven't done expedition 8 yet, just discovered your tool a couple days ago

btw, thank you so much, I've wanted to experience all of this content I missed since I started playing the game

[signal wind]

I ran through all the expeditions with Cwmonkeys setup after I finished games storylines and now I just sit back fishing and building fusion igniters.

[solemn bane]

I'm starting another permadeath run with a Corvette toon, lol.

[signal wind]

Thinking of starting a perma from fresh too.

Havent built a corvette yet as not my thing prefer my starborn for now

This expo all I wanted to do was get it over with and get rewards and get back to main.

[glass shuttle]

is there a decently quick way to get the nanites to upgrade my corvette to s class in the expedition? I'd rather not dump all of these free upgrades into a corvette with bad supercharge spots

[signal wind]

Curious deposits for mould, take on sentinels to get sellable tech modules from salvaged glass or visit pirate system buying and selling tech from suspicious packets

[solemn bane]

So unless I was bugged last time, this update allows you to use your multitool out the back of your corvette. So I'm fishing off my corvette rn.

[thick umbra]

did that also 🙂

[solemn bane]

That's one way to avoid sentinels. Though I just killed the walker when I decided to try it, lol.

Damn I love corvettes. 6.0 was basically a QoL update.

[signal wind]

Think that was in this update. I noticed I had to drop off the ramp to draw mine when I did expo

[solemn bane]

Oh yeah I just meant in general. Never having to land is amazing.

[signal wind]

Trying to gather gamma weed in a heavy storm with sentinels was fun back and forth to the corvette. I noticed if I sat on top of my corvette too that regarded me as out of combat to sentinels lol

Couldnt fish though on top 😔

[thick umbra]

Just stay at the open ramp ...

[signal wind]

I couldnt there either at the time. Can now in new update

[thick umbra]

ah ok .. as I´m always in experimental I could do that earlier

[signal wind]

I like to fish off my starborn these days. Not building a corvette for now I just had 1 for the expedition and update came out day after finished it lol

Set up my new pc today so may give the expeditions another crack.

[cinder charm]

0how do i find a verdant planet

[solemn bane]

Any planet with Star Bulbs as the plant

[cinder charm]

ok but i cant tell from the space map can i

[solemn bane]

No. Rendezvous 2 has like two I think

[arctic shell]

Where can I find glyphs for a paradise planet?

[cinder charm]

where do i find rendezvous 2

[solemn bane]

Go to the teleporter on a space station and it should say that under one of the space stations

Balsan-Rehol is the system

[solemn bane]

Same deal for you, any planet that has Star Bulb for a plant. Rendezvous 2 has them.

[signal wind]

Glad I brought sentinel boundary maps this expo so I could enjoy some peace on a few planets.

[solemn bane]

Well, mining copper out the back of my vette didn't quite work

[golden python]

They need to bring out an expedition pass you can buy to play any expedition anytime you like. I’d pay for it.

[solemn bane]

Are you on PC?

[golden python]

No Xbox

[solemn bane]

In that case I recommend sending them feedback:

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[golden python]

I was trying to find something like that. Thank you

[shy quail]

I know with ship PvE, pressing S while targeting a hostile enemy ship allows one to turn and aim very quickly.

But, I’m a bit curious: that doesn’t apply for PvP?

I ask, as earlier I was farming some mats and other goodies on the surface, and a ship was doing strafling runs trying to shoot me (fortunately, he missed on most of his passes).

I eventually got onto my corvette. And we eventually exchanged fires. I managed to aim a bit better than him and bruised him decently well (while intentionally not killing him), before I pulsed away and to a station.

I couldn’t tell if it was a bugged, untargetable PvE, or a PvP skirmish. And this was on and near the surface of a dissonant world. No sentinel ships were spawning in either.

[solemn bane]

#nms-questions May be a better place to ask

[shy quail]

Should I copy my question to there? I asked here, as it happened while I was semi-early into my NMS-expedition play-through.

[solemn bane]

I would yeah. May get more attention there.

[supple onyx]

Yeah im spending a ton of time mining to save it in future mission side quests

Question for the group: For a beginner are there any resources you'd say stock up as much as you can on this? Other than ferrite dust oxy and sodium

[signal wind]

I always stock up on cobalt to make batteries for life support stuff

On expedition I tend to get copper asap then find a cave so I am out of the elemnents and put down a refiner and refine chromatic and other stuff I need and gather cobalt while I wait in there

[faint mesa]

Mining cobalt and ferrite dust for some batteries is a great way to start new games in general, and very helpful on expeditions

On this one you don't even need to make many batteries; one milestone gives some eventually

[little robin]

i ain't gonna sugarcoat it, who the f plays pvp

[indigo mountain]

Fr fr

That was the first thing I looked for when I started 😭 I was like I know there's a way to turn off multiplayer so where is it

[wraith bobcat]

Hey question for yall.
I got a corvette. And I have 4 of the turbines one it but thsy never are all working at once ?
Like sometimes it's one other times it's 3

Is this just a bug?

[solemn pebble]

#nms-corvette-discussion

[unkempt plume]

can someone plase help me with riding their ship for expedition

[faint mesa]

You can take a ride in a random one in the Anomaly I think.

(A reminder that the milestone is optional)

[halcyon bobcat]

I'm getting ready to hop on to continue my expedition so I'll post back here when I do and if you still need a ride let me know and we can work on meeting up.

[unkempt plume]

when riding in a random one from the anomaly my game crashes each time it leaves the station without fail

i think it might have to do with the fact that it's traveling to a different star system than i am in because it's a random's ship

[halcyon bobcat]

You can't just climb aboard someone's ship. You need to be part of a group for it to count.

[unkempt plume]

even still, after joining 3 peoples groups it's been crashing at warp after takeoff

[snow jay]

I'm willing to give it a go :)

[halcyon bobcat]

Hm...well I can try and meet you at a space station. Maybe it will work better there.

[stoic hollow]

hey how do you guys find autophage camps with multitools?

[unkempt plume]

shoot it just crashed again,. now i see why it's optional

[stoic hollow]

i forgot how

[unkempt plume]

@snow jay@halcyon bobcatif you guys wanna try i am in NMS LFG 2 voice channel

thank you

[halcyon bobcat]

Looks like that got filled up but I'm getting me something to drink and such anyway so I wish you luck.

[stoic hollow]

anyone? how do you find those locked autophage camps?

[frosty spindle]

What is the best stuff to bring back with me from the expedition?

[halcyon bobcat]

So many wonderful questions...that I sadly do not yet have an answer to.

[dull thorn]

can someone save me

[faint mesa]

You need an echo locator. I had one in my inventory that possibly came from battling the corrupted sentinels on dissonant planets. I think dissonance resonators drop them.

[dull thorn]

my corvette is a 1000 away with no fuel

nvmind ill walkj

[halcyon bobcat]

You might get there before anyone of us can get to you at this point.

[frosty spindle]

wait so i just went out of the expedition but where do i go to claim all the stuff i brought back with me?

[halcyon bobcat]

Same terminal you started it at.

[frosty spindle]

ah okay ty

[umbral forum]

I hate how corvettes don't get properly rendered in the Anomaly.

[halcyon bobcat]

Isn't that supposed to be fixed now?

[umbral forum]

I'm trying to get in someone else's ship as a stowaway for the milestone.

[halcyon bobcat]

You can't stowaway to get it. You need to be in a group.

[void lava]

is there any guide on how i can play the old expeditions?

[umbral forum]

I got 1500u as a stowaway, but the pilot warped to another system.

[halcyon bobcat]

You can't. Once the Expedition is over it can't be replayed as far as I'm aware.

[umbral forum]

I could of course ask people for a ride, but where is the thrill in that?

[void lava]

oh thats unfortunate anyway thanks

[frosty spindle]

something with changing something in the save file and playing offline if i remember correctly

[halcyon bobcat]

If that is what I think you are saying it won't let you replay the Expedition just give you the rewards from it even if you didn't participate in it.

[frosty spindle]

ah sad.. thought you could replay

[halcyon bobcat]

Ok looks like I need to avoid the Space Anamoly if I can help it. Too many overlapping ships on the landing pad.

[hoary grove]

Yes you can, check out @solemn bane 's profile, it is a custom json from what I remember, haven't tried it myself but it is a very neat tool regardless. Ping him for deets

[signal wind]

You can replay the old expeditions. You swap out a Json file and load in the expedition one. PC only though. CWMonkey who was here earlier has a page

Not sure if allowed to post the link but if google cw monkey nms it will come up

[mild cypress]

btw if i hypothetically would start the expedition from my main save, would i keep my multitool and the corvette i build

and my upgrades?

[solemn bane]

You can copy them to your main save for some nanites, yes

[mild cypress]

I mean the ones i had prior

to the expedition

[solemn bane]

You can copy your multitool to the expedition, however not any ship (new setting for this expoedition)

[mild cypress]

well ofc but i mean the corvette

[solemn bane]

Corvettes are ships, yes

[mild cypress]

so i would have to build another one in the expedition

[signal wind]

You can copy ships in and out at the anomaly

[solemn bane]

Yep, it's what the expedition is focused on

[indigo falcon]

you would have to build a ship from scratch in the expedition because that is the point of it, more or less 😄

[solemn bane]

You can't copy your corvette to the expedition. They added a flag which blocks it this expedition.

[signal wind]

I just strung a bunch of parts together and hoped they wouldnt rattle loose as I hit the rendezvous points.

[mild cypress]

but would i keep my multitool and upgrades i had before?

[indigo falcon]

but yo uget some free parts, and the parts (and/or the ship with a bunch of parts stuck on as you see ft) can be copied back from the expedition, so think of it as a way to get some account-wide rewards plus some more parts.

your main save doesn't lose any items. the expedition version of the save typically is allowed to get a copy of the equipped mt and ship (but not the ship this time, it's an exception) from the main save, for a cost of some nanites on the expd save.

[signal wind]

You start with a random grade multi tool. If you really want your main save one you need to get to the anomaly and copy it in

[indigo falcon]

the random crap mt is however plenty for what you need to do in this expedition, yes even killing corrupt sentinels, they give you various weapons + upgrades.

[mild cypress]

i jus got me a sentinel one xD

[indigo falcon]

there's a milestone for that even. (btw see the pins in here for expedition tips etc)

[mild cypress]

yup i got that one

[signal wind]

I dug a hole near sentinel resonator and had a battle to get a boundary map then shut off a planet and eventually found a harmonic camp for the sentinel rifle.

Got to anomaly picked up few more boundary maps so I could go about peacefully on planets I needed to spend time on lol

[indigo falcon]

the sentinel boundary map is a reward now from one of the milestones

[signal wind]

Main save the 1st settlement quest gave me a planet with cranky sentinels in a frenzy so I got a map found a tower so now when not in mood to deal with their crap I shut em off.

[indigo falcon]

an echo locator is a reward from another one.

[signal wind]

Yeah I got those after I had harvested some lol

[indigo falcon]

(the list of milestones and rewards is pinned in here too for convenience)

[signal wind]

I kinda like starting off my expeditions picking fights with corrupt sentinels for loot sometimes hehe.

[halcyon bobcat]

I'm so close to completing Phase 2. Just need to grow some plants and already half way through the milestones for Phase 3.

[signal wind]

Plants were buggy for me I would land they appeared full grown then take off they were not done. Couldnt harvest them though so had to guess when they were done officially.

[halcyon bobcat]

Yeah I read there was also a bug where they would fully grow after a warp. No idea if that is a thing after the recent updates.

I only recently found out I had the materials to make at least one of the plants.

[signal wind]

I grew gravatino balls as I had stock to plant of them amd fast growing

[halcyon bobcat]

Yeah that's what I'm growing too.

[signal wind]

Cant wait to finish my work week so I can fire up on my new pc I set up today and see how game runs now.

My luck the load screen crash and dlss frame gen stuff will affect it too haha

[polar sage]

Sentinels are demolishing me in final phase. Any tips/strategies?

[halcyon bobcat]

Wasn't aware a fight would be coming. I just took out some corrupted ones from the back of my ship because somehow I can use my multitool on my ship when I couldn't before.

[polar sage]

The final phase encourages a full fight and I don’t feel like the expedition kits you out for one without grinding

[daring geyser]

Hi, when the expedition is completed can you continue on that save after in the normal game? I started a new save for the expedition.

[polar sage]

yup

[daring geyser]

Thanks, and you keep the corvette and multitool etc?

[lunar fossil]

last 2 days i was engage against sentinel drones, and no sentinel boundary map drop ? is it possible at all event missions can't be done ??

[polar sage]

yup

[daring geyser]

Thank you

[halcyon bobcat]

I just let someone hitchhike on my ship for a bit.

[daring geyser]

Cool, not got that one done yet lol

[halcyon bobcat]

I was getting ready to warp to the next system when I heard him in the back of my ship but whatever language his game is set to my system doesn't have the font for so when I told him that he switch to typing in English and I just pulsed through the current system a bit until he said it was finished then dropped him back off at the space station.

[daring geyser]

Nice 🙂

I did Spacewreck and went everywhere on it and examined everything but the milestone is not completed 🙁

Gonna have to buy another wreck details for 5mil or something and try again lol

[brisk kindle]

anyone got tips on One, Zero mission? (shut down a planet's sentinels force)

I've wasted like almost 2 hours on this alone. I have beat the robot phase 7 times and the sentinels keep disappearing & couldn't find me, then the phase resetting to phase 1 over and over..

[hollow shore]

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.
   See pin: #nms-expedition message

[agile pond]

the best thing to do is to use a sentinel base map (I don't remember the exact name), go to the terminal and select deactivate dentinels

[brisk kindle]

ahh i didn't know that method exist. gonna try it asap, thank u guyss

[polar sage]

Ugh, either I didn’t get that map or I accidentally sold it

[limpid inlet]

yesterday I saved while docked to a derelict freighter, today i come back and its gone. Is getting 5M for the coordinates my only way to complete the achievement now?

i lost the locator of course

[polar sage]

Did you get the weekly free one at the Anomaly?

[limpid inlet]

leanred this here now (i started playing with this expedition sorry)

where do i get it exactly on the anomaly?

[wraith junco]

From Helios

The tree guy

[limpid inlet]

ok ima search for him

found him, he asked for some kind of data tho?

[halcyon bobcat]

Woot Phases 2 and 3 complete and nearly the same time!

[indigo parcel]

Hey guys quick question I’m new to this game and I’m wondering how this expedition works? Is it like starting all over again? Or is this some kind of short term?

[halcyon bobcat]

You can start a new game with it and continue from where it ends or jump in from an existing save and jump back at the end or back and forth at any time.

You do start off from scratch either way.

[indigo parcel]

I’d like to get all the rewards

[limpid inlet]

wait he doesnt give me anything guys

[indigo parcel]

But why would it last for 6 weeks?

[polar sage]

Found a helpful base near a pillar, thanks

[halcyon bobcat]

It's 6 weeks to complete it before the event ends.

It won't actually take you that long but it gives everyone a chance to do it.

[limpid inlet]

i can either ask for his past or leave

maybe he doesnt give it in the expedition?

[celest echo]

Is anyone able to help me with the hitchhiking portion of Phase 4 in expedition 19 please?

[limpid inlet]

is there any other way i get another one of those locators?

[limpid inlet]

thats optional but i could do it, i have no idea how to meet you tho

[celest echo]

Why have I only just noticed it's optional. Ffs 😂 I guess I could send you my NMS friend code?

[celest echo]

Hey man thanks. But if it's optional don't worry about it thanks again.

[indigo parcel]

To get all the rewards?

[limpid inlet]

sorry i was on the help channel to ask for the derelict freighter thing but got no answers

if you give me the code then how do i do it tho

can you just spawn where im at

[rancid socket]

Got dam it MF sentinels come inside the dam Corvette. The alarm never goes away! Brokenness. Aggressive my ass this is a bug.

[hot scaffold]

The expedition hasnt started yet right?

[thick umbra]

its up and running

[hot scaffold]

Oh, when it ends?

Oh I see

15 august

This game needs to get rid of FOMO

I want normandy 🙁

[minor terrace]

That is October 15th

Unless youre a time traveller

[hot scaffold]

Oh sorry 😂

I am not native english speaker…

[bright kindle]

Do they bring back old expeditions sometimes?

[lilac dagger]

They usually rerun all the expeditions of the year at the end of the year

[waxen gust]

about to spend time building a corvette on the expedition mode but can that actually be transferred over to my main playthrough?? I would imagine for the cost of units or nanites or something

[limpid inlet]

this game so broken bro

i was fighting sentinels for the one zero objective, couldnt do anything to the big walker so i thoight maybe use my ship. I get in, the sentinel capital ship shows up and instantly becomes invisible

[proper current]

Quick question do expeditions ever expire I saw something cool in the latest one but I just got the game

So like will I be able to do it in a few months from now or should I rush to do it now

[eager oriole]

this expedition is available until October 15

expeditions are limited time events

[proper current]

Aw so they are limited

I might be able to get there in time though

Can you replay expeditions?

Or is it just one and done

[eager oriole]

usually expedition come back during holiday season at end of year

[proper current]

I see that’s nice tho how do you even start them?

[eager oriole]

so the expeditions that came this year will be available at the end of this year but their time will be reduced, like from 2 months to a week I think

[proper current]

T_T

[loud beacon]

Can anyone tell me how to find Sentinel Pillar Maps from salvaging scrap on a planet? I've been scrapping for hours and haven't seen one

[proper current]

What exactly do you get from them

[limpid inlet]

just died for the first time trying to fight them on the ground

there has to be another way to do it

[eager oriole]

try to fight them when you are near a structure, if you feel like you might die just get inside a building

[faint mesa]

There is: people are getting sentinel boundary maps from unexpected sources in this expedition.

So you can skip the fight.

[limpid inlet]

i tried to fly around and search for the pillar but i cant find one

[faint mesa]

You can also try following comm balls or bases. I found a comm ball located at a pillar...

[limpid inlet]

i also got a ton of my stuff broken for no reason

[faint mesa]

Damaged by the sentinel attacks probably

[solemn bane]

6.04 made the preceding milestone give one as part of the reward

[limpid inlet]

(I know the reason is dying i meant to get nothing)

[limpid inlet]

oh wait

[faint mesa]

Ooohhhh... that makes it even easier.
(Dang it, I played the whole thing on 6.03 😆 )

[limpid inlet]

so i should go buy the thing to locate a freighter then

so i can get the map and i assume it will lead me to a pillar to skip the fight?

[faint mesa]

You'll still have to do some fighting, there are sentinels protecting the pillar

But it's better than five waves

[limpid inlet]

im sure i can handle those

well off to farm gravitinos for the 5 mil i go

[stoic hollow]

so, is anyone heading to the 5th station? can i ask for a ride?

[stoic hollow]

guys, what do you do if you're stuck in geometry?

[solemn bane]

relog

[stoic hollow]

ah ok

[loud beacon]

Do you know where to get exactly

I've been trying to get a map forever and getting none from salvage

[solemn bane]

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.

[stoic hollow]

guys, i think i broke something. Is there a way to fix this?

also there are parts that are not listed on the expedition ship

[solemn bane]

Just copy it, the parts will be there.

[stoic hollow]

that is the copied ship above

[solemn bane]

Hm, maybe relog?

[stoic hollow]

i can't board it, it's invisible

[solemn bane]

If that doesn't work, change a part and copy again.

[stoic hollow]

i already restarted the game

[loud beacon]

Thanks for the explanation! I've been mining salvageable scrap for like 4 hours and haven't found any maps. I already completed Spacewreck and it did not give a map (I think this is new with the recent update). But I will try space stations

[stoic hollow]

i can give you one if you land on the 5th space station

[loud beacon]

Snap I'd love to- but I had to turn the game off to go to work. Really appreciate that though

[stoic hollow]

darn, aight, good luck on your hunt

[loud beacon]

Thanks again

[stoic hollow]

gah, copied the ship again after modifying it but still no change

where can i report this bug?

[solemn bane]

One more option is to just get an OP multi-tool weapon. The most op by far is the Neutron Cannon. Buy three S tier Neutron Cannon upgrades from the first space station (Killur VII) by buying one, saving, and relogging, repeat. Then learn the Neutron Cannon schematics from the Anomaly. With all that in charged slots you'll be able to two shot groups of sentinels.

can you equip your corvette with a conflict / economy scanner?

[stoic hollow]

yea

[brittle mortar]

mmm

[loud beacon]

That's true thanks for the suggestion!

[solemn bane]

I don't see any answers for this issue 😬

nooooo 😭

gosh, i wish an employee would see this right now

[mild cypress]

welp phase 1-4 done

nvm 5 too

WOOOHOO

i can now receive all the rewards ont eh anomaly eah?

on my other save

alrighty!

[astral lodge]

For the plants do they have to be different or the same? The ones you have to grow and harvest?

[wraith junco]

Any that u can plant on corvette wall

[astral lodge]

So I can do all gamma weed?

Does it matter?

[barren coral]

when does the anomoly unlock?

[lusty badge]

I'm outside the hatch but the spacewalking task isn't completing, any ideas why?

[idle pond]

Is anyone else getting extremely long warp times during the expedition? Like 10+ minutes to get to a new system

[hardy creek]

anyone else having problems with the Trade terminal for specific starship parts?
its stolen my items twice now...

[wraith junco]

Quite fast in the main story

[barren coral]

in the expedition story?

[wraith junco]

Anomaly in exp unlocks after 1st jump i think

[astral lodge]

How long do plants take to grow?

[frozen laurel]

Depends on which plant you use. Frostwort is the fastest.

[brittle isle]

can i play expiditions with a friend?

or is it solo only

[indigo falcon]

plants in the expd take from 12 minutes for the fastest to something like an hour for the slowest (not sure about the max, I did not time echinocactus to be sure)

[wraith junco]

U can join group after u both make exp save

[brittle isle]

alright thanks 😄

[lavish stream]

What rewards does this expedition give?

[wraith junco]

[frozen laurel]

the list is in the Pins here

[indigo falcon]

the list of mileestones and rewards is in the pins, along with some posts with good tips.

[frozen laurel]

I like how you have a pushpin in your name.

[wintry aspen]

Not sure if others are having issues with this, but I put in a ticket about the corvette showing up in the middle of the building and blocking everything when I teleport to existing bases. I've been loving the update, but I hate having to remember to switch ships before teleporting to gather rollers, or cadmium, etc.

[languid lotus]

if u don't save all the corvette parts in the anomaly before ending the expedition u lose all the corvette rewards/parts no¿? I thought It would save the corvette cuz it's a spaceship but i think it has been sold

[thick umbra]

has been fixed in experimental version ..

[untold mulch]

So i completed the new expedition do i place the cakes and things i got as a reward from some milestones in it? and what else should i take back? does my ship transfer over?

[kindred mesa]

You normally can copy over your last equipped multitool and ship from the Expedition to your mainsave for a few thousand nanites. Didn't work for me this time around tho, I ended up dismantling the entire thing and only sending over the parts I wanted to keep.
Get rid of the treasure in the transfer-Cargo and only bring things you actually want to physically keep around. Anything you do not bring with you via the transfer mechanic gets automatically sold and converted to credits/nanites at the end :)

[untold mulch]

Ah alright thanks for the info, yea i was able to synthesize my ship and multitool so glad i didn't bug out there phew.

Just the cakes etc didn't flow over ;P

[kindred mesa]

Ye some things stay Expedition exclusive, some you can later on buy back from the Quicksilver/rewards vendor in the Anomaly - such as Eggs for example

[untold mulch]

Thanks for the info! Appreciate it!

[wintry aspen]

Good news, thanks

[rigid crater]

Does anyone know when the expedition will expire?

[opaque sparrow]

Is there any way to get the Hitchhiker milestone, if I play on Xbox without Live?

[indigo falcon]

yeah I have had this consistently, now I build things with lots of entrances and I have an interior staircase in the corvette leading to the outside too... all because of this bug

[indigo falcon]

5 weeks-ish, you can run the command !exptime in the #bot-spam channel to check

[sour gorge]

IMO the game really shouldn't allow to claim land near expedition spawn. Running away from this huge clump on bases and nearly freezing to death (before I luckily found sodium) because some.. not very nice people decided to claim spawn isn't very fun

[thick umbra]

Disable MP ..if you get into such an issue

[sour gorge]

Yeah but imagine how inconvenient/confusing it is for new players.

[balmy pike]

So i'm onto Phase 3, and it's wanting me to scan 3 fauna on a Dissonant Planet, but i'm having trouble finding a Dissonant planet, plenty of Dissonant Systems, plenty of planets have Dissonant on them, but no Dissonant Planets. :/

[thick umbra]

Almost every resist system have at least one

[kindred mesa]

You can see it live ingame, at the Terminal in the Anomaly, top left

[halcyon bobcat]

Most of the planets will have already been scanned and uploaded so check your Discoveries menu tab to see what it says about the planets in the system. I haven't found a single system up to the 3rd checkpoint that didn't have a Dissonant planet.

[balmy pike]

I didn't realize you could check the planets before warping there x.x

[halcyon bobcat]

Not before warping but as soon as you enter the system or give it a moment to download the uploaded data and you will see the planet information populate in the Discoveries menu.

[balmy pike]

Yea that's what I was doing x.x I'm onto the 6th system I'm trying

Today that is, been trying since last night x.x

[halcyon bobcat]

Don't forget to check the small moons.

You're looking for one that says Dissonance Detected.

[kindred mesa]

Did you take an odd turn somewhere? The main phase-systems for the resist-milestones all pretty much had everything you needed to complete the challenges, including fauna-containing dissonant planets

[balmy pike]

I might have moved ahead to fast or something. I don't recall seeing any dissonant planets though :/

[kindred mesa]

Once you make it to one - don't forget to look up or take a dip - flying stuff and anything that can swim counts towards the milestone as well :>

[balmy pike]

Ok

[halcyon bobcat]

Also note you can scan from your ship without landing.

[sour gorge]

Do caves no longer restore hazard protection? I think they did in the past?

[halcyon bobcat]

They do if you go deep enough underground at least on a Normal save but maybe it's tweaked for the expedition. I do recall hiding underground once and it not restoring.

[sour gorge]

Yeah I decided to go to the frost planet in the starting system and it's currently storm outside the cave :/

[astral lodge]

Do we keep our freighter in this expedition?

So If we claim it will it take away our free freighter?

[cold tulip]

Idk, but i guess not

[astral lodge]

Ok cool

[wraith junco]

We cant but ship and freighter models are cross mode so if u find a cool looking one write down coords and pick it up later on main save

[mint pilot]

how do we complete the optional milestone in phase 5?

[indigo falcon]

make sure you have done all the "resist" 1,2,3,4,5 then select the option milestone, see what th hint in the lower right tells you to do

(it should tell you to go to a space station and interact with the station core one more time)

[mint pilot]

tyy

[raven idol]

I never got an option to convert to stand alone save or transfer anything to another save... is it because I chose the expedition when choosing what save to play? ... I assume it just ended the expedition and continues to just one of my saves

[astral lodge]

Does your freighter need warp fuel to summon?

[indigo falcon]

if you started from a new save like that, then yeah it will just convert to a normal mode save when the expedition period is over, keeping all your stuff

[limber lion]

Hello! Is there any outlaw system close to any of the rendezvous points?

[indigo falcon]

no but you may need a special hyperdrive on it if you are in a system that has some fancy colored star (not just yellow)

[indigo falcon]

I found one close to whatever rend. system I was in when that milestone came up. Just hunt around in the galaxy map a bit and be patient

[limber lion]

Thank you

[wintry aspen]

Good idea. I've been adding more entrances, but the extra stair on the corvette is a great idea. hoping they fix it soon, though.

[astral lodge]

Wow you can make bank with cooking

I'm glitched into my Corvette how do I get out? Is there an unstuck button?

[remote thunder]

have you tried just reloading restore point save slot in the options menu?

[astral lodge]

What happens to all the food i made though?

[indigo falcon]

some people have done a little testing on the latest experimental branch and it seems fixed there; the ship comes in hovering above things.

[indigo falcon]

could build an orbital uplink and zip off to the nearby space station if it's really bad

[remote thunder]

orbital uplink, right that's the name

[astral lodge]

I'm in the space station

[indigo falcon]

oh, already? and can'tget in/out? can you get to the cockpit or no?

[remote thunder]

but did you exit ship and got stuck?

[astral lodge]

I have no idea I got glitched into the reactors

[indigo falcon]

the uplink might work anyways

[astral lodge]

I'm not supposed to be here

How to build uplink?

[indigo falcon]

30 chrom metal if you have it on you

[astral lodge]

I don't

[indigo falcon]

awww... well for the future (because there is a lot of this sotr of bugginess), keep some in your suit inv

[astral lodge]

Ya I'm learning that if I restore point do I lose the stuff I cooked in my inventory?

[indigo falcon]

so you can't fly up through any area to get out, I guess? can you.. build stairs right there maybe?

interior stairs and then climb in, say

[astral lodge]

So I built the stairs but can't go down them?

[remote thunder]

if you didn't "enter+exit ship", which in corvette terms means got in the pilot seat and got up again to update restore point after cooking, then yes, you would

[remote thunder]

can you build a chair?

[astral lodge]

What do you mean a chair?

[indigo falcon]

crap, stairs must not go to somewhere you have room to stand then. mmmm

chair of some sort, a decorative base item

hg really should have given us one first thing

[astral lodge]

They shouldn't allow you to crop into areas of your ship that aren't accessible

[indigo falcon]

well sure but bugs will be buggy

[astral lodge]

All that work and time lost

[indigo falcon]

so the idea is you place a chair (via build camera... ) somewhere a little outside of the obstructed area, but still within reach so that it pops up an interaction icon, then you sit in it and are out of the bad zone

[astral lodge]

Oh I see like you can interact with it and move your character through it

[indigo falcon]

uh huh

[vale flume]

how does the expedition work? if i start one do i start all over? (im new)

[astral lodge]

I'm just going to make an orbital uplink and be donee with it

[indigo falcon]

hey new person! you can start from an existing save or a new save. in either case, you start with a new suit and whatever ship and mt the game deigns to give you for the specific expedition, no units, no nanites etc.

[vale flume]

if i start with an existing save do i lose my ship?

[indigo falcon]

but if you start from an existing save via the anomaly terminal, you have the option to send over some items which can later be retrieved on the expd version of the save, after first warp, by going to the anomaly

[keen sail]

What am i supposed to do when it says repair Impossible? And seek alternate escape or sum

[indigo falcon]

you don't "lose" your ship, you're jus tplaying with a version of the save that doesn't have it

[hot stream]

Where can I find a scrap dealer to do the derelict mission I can’t seem to find one

[indigo falcon]

when it's all done and you're back in the main save, you'll have all your old gear aain

[haughty gazelle]

i think someone closed my ships door, and i cannot find a way to get in (im in starbase)

[indigo falcon]

on any space station, to the right and back, tucked in a corner (as you face the station core away from the entrance)

they are like under a stairway or something, a bit hard to spot

[vale flume]

ok thank you so much

[hot stream]

Are they called a scrap dealer or do they have another name

[indigo falcon]

that's the right name

[indigo falcon]

in sapce station do you mean?

[hot stream]

Okay thank you

[haughty gazelle]

aaah yeah

been like 4 years since last played, i dont remember a single thing 😄

[indigo falcon]

you're sure you're at your ship and not someone else's? 😄

[haughty gazelle]

no no, im outside my ship, trying to get in. i was looking at modules to modify my ship. when i was done, i noticed my door was closed.

now i dont know how to open it from outside

[indigo falcon]

I presume you have multplayer on?

[haughty gazelle]

i believe so yes (i dont know how to turn it off 😄 )

[indigo falcon]

if you walk to the left side of the lanidng bay do you get a prompt or no?

if no prompt: options -> network -> multiplayer off (and hey turn pvp off while you are in there!)... then save-exit-reload and see if that resets things

[haughty gazelle]

aaah ok, yeah i dont see any prompts

[indigo falcon]

yeah try that then

let's see how will you save... well, try th elatest restore point I'd say

[haughty gazelle]

aaaah it worked, thanks a lot ^^

[loud beacon]

Any chance someone has a spare boundary nap?

[indigo falcon]

a milestone gives one now

spacewreck (explore a derelict)

[loud beacon]

Yeah but I already completed that milestone 🙁

[indigo falcon]

if you completed that milestone a couple days ago before the expd was updated, go digging for corvette parts, the drop rate from salv scrap for maps is not bad

[loud beacon]

I've been salvaging for like 4 hours and still no dice I'm starting to wonder if it's bugged

[indigo falcon]

huh

well, fallback is either 1) shoot a bunch of sentinel drones, leaving the summoner so you never increase the wanted level, pick up the salv glass, hope for a drop, o

2. buy suspicious packets (goods) from pirate stations, open, hope for a map there (slower, expensive)

[loud beacon]

Yeah I might have to do this thanks

[sour gorge]

Apparently in there is already corvete of another players docked in station, the game sloowly backtracks you and docks you outside of the station o_o

I'm "docked" but I'm not exiting lol

[indigo falcon]

this happened to me when I was in single player. explain that!

tried multiple times, blocked and docked outside each time, finally gave up and flew there

[sour gorge]

Yeah I just jumped to the next system

[tall ridge]

Hey so I built my first ship off center by accident and it was really bugging my game out. Like when I entered the space station it put me waaaay off into space, and when I tried to land on the ground it just permanently said the landing space was blocked, no matter where I was.

[wintry aspen]

I did that at one point... was so frustrated that my corvette wasn't responding and realized it wasn't my corvette.

[balmy pike]

Yea I did that too..... The worst though, was at one point the game phased someone's Corvette in on top of mine as he was leaving the station..... It took me with him.

[indigo falcon]

sooooo many bugs...

[sour gorge]

How do Expedition rewards work in relation to the main save btw? Like.. I have my main save and I started expedition on it via Anomaly kiosk. Will I be able to claim milestone rewards a second time on my main save? Or not? What will actually transfer to my main save at the end?

[fringe star]

You'll claim them at the anomaly after you end the expedition

[weak igloo]

Can I do that if I started a fresh expedition? Or will I get basically nothing on my main save for this

[sage finch]

How can I find carbon or uranium if the space station doesn't have it and I can't land on a planet

I mean, I could land on a planet but I can't get back up without uranium, and none of the planets say they have uranium

[wraith junco]

Starter fuel can be made with metal plate and dihydro

[keen sail]

How can i get stuff from Expedition Safe to Main save during the Expedition?

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.

[wraith junco]

Just before the end when transfer menu is open

[sage finch]

thank you omg I have both of those

[keen sail]

So i cant Switch before ending it?

[wraith junco]

U can switch to main from options but cant transfer stuff

[copper violet]

Hey all!
I've been enjoying this expedition except that every planet I come across in any system I come to has aggresive sentinals. I feel like I can't progress at any reasonable pace because they hound me incessantly the minute I start doing stuff on a planet.
Please help

[wraith junco]

Read tasks in expedition tab and what rewards they give

There should be at least 1 planet without agresive sentinels in starter system i think

Also

[low horizon]

This is crazy!!! just started the expedition and there are overlapping bases everywhere!!! I can't build a refiner or even a save point! Some house beacons are invisible so I can't report them

[copper violet]

Ah I see. The sentinel Pillar thing

[copper violet]

I just kept sprinting in a relatively deserted direction with the refiner out for building until it turned green 😓

[wraith junco]

Try reporting from quick menu

Or go somewhere else

Base range radius is 300u.

[copper violet]

Thanks

[indigo falcon]

most of the systems will have one dissonant world without aggro sentinels.most, not all. also, on the starter planet, get whatever resources you can and etc, before leaving the planet; sentinels are suppressed there until first departure, as is usual at the beginning of an nms playthrough.

[indigo falcon]

even when the base is invisibile you can report it, quick menu -> report base, just keep clicking until there are none left

I had a very lucky spawn-in apparently (though I did start a few days back). no bases near me, relatively falt area, by a minor settlement, lots of rocks and some carbon close too...

[fringe star]

You would have had to start the expedition from the anomaly on your main save

[weak igloo]

So since I started it from the main menu, I should just restart on my main save? Already like over halfway done

[sour gorge]

How does Corvette class work (C, B, A, S)?

[indigo falcon]

same as any ship; spend nanites, upgrade the class

[astral lodge]

So hypothetically if you start a new save you can still transfer you Corvette from you expedite so can you farm Corvette parts like that?

[indigo falcon]

yes, ata cost of some nanites

might be easier to just find a planet with salv scrap and go collecting directly

[astral lodge]

That's interesting you could create a whole fleet of Corvettes just by playing the expedition over each different than the next !

[indigo falcon]

oh, if you start it from a new save

no, you can only transfer over a ship to the existing save you started from, my bad

[astral lodge]

Oh if you start a new save you can't transfer to the old save?

[indigo falcon]

no; see, transfers work only to the existing save used to start theexped from the anomaly terminal

[fringe star]

Just to be clear, phase awards are available on all saves

[astral lodge]

Oh so there's really only a reason to do the expedition once

[indigo falcon]

yes, expedition rewards are not things that you transfer via the terminal; these are claimed atthe qs vendor

and once per save, including any future save you might make.

eh some people do it multiple times to speed run it, or because they enjoy the gameplay, or to help out someone else playing through later, or etc.

[astral lodge]

So the best way to farm ambassador habs is you salvage then and trade for them?

[fringe star]

The ones you get for clearing I-V. Corvette parts and such are not transferrable

[indigo falcon]

I guess yeah I'd trade other parts to get the ones I wanted

[weak igloo]

Ah, gotcha. Is it still worth finishing on my new save at half way through? Or should I just restart on my main save

[stoic hollow]

wait, there are parts that cannot be transferred to the main save?

[astral lodge]

Ya cause I want all ambassador but you don't find all ambassador

[fringe star]

Yes, the rewards you get like corvette parts or ship slots, etc

[stoic hollow]

wait so what does the pin used for?

[fringe star]

pin?

[indigo falcon]

ship slots can be transferred i fyou have not applied them; or alternatively the ship itself can be copied back to the existing save (including the space from those slots)

[stoic hollow]

I tried copying mine but it ended up super bugged

[fringe star]

Not if you used a fresh save and not your main save

[stoic hollow]

so what do i have to do exactly?

[fringe star]

If you started the expedition from your main save then it should have worked

[stoic hollow]

well for some reason, when copying my ship, it goes completely invisible and i cannot interact with it. There are a lot of parts missing as well

[astral lodge]

Can you start an expedition over in your main save?

[fringe star]

If you started from a fresh (new) save you don't even get the option. Your expedition save is turned into a regular save at expedition end

[fringe star]

Sounds like a bug. This expedition is very buggy

[fringe star]

Yes

You can start an expedition on any saves you have

[stoic hollow]

so what do i do then?

[fringe star]

May need to file a bug report

[stoic hollow]

already did last night, but what now?

do i just wait until my save gets fixed or something?

[wraith junco]

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[astral lodge]

But if you already started and expedition can you restart it from the beginning?

[fringe star]

No, I don't think so.

[stoic hollow]

Do i just end my expedition?

[indigo falcon]

I wouldn't. Jus twait

[fringe star]

Is there a reason you need to restart?

[stoic hollow]

for how long though? it's not like HG is that fast to patch these bugs

[fringe star]

You could backup your current save

See if experimental has a fix

If on PC anyway, not sure on consoles

[stoic hollow]

where's my save located again?

[low horizon]

how is it that I can set the corvette on auto pilot so I can get off the seat and scan, etc? I press E to get stand up and the ship just lands?

[fringe star]

Try here: We'd like to recommend that all players back up their save files, by making a local copy of the st_[userid] folder found here on PC: %appdata%\HelloGames\NMS\ and here on mac: ~/Library/Application Support/HelloGames/NMS/

[fringe star]

Quick menu

[stoic hollow]

how do i switch to experimental branch?

[fringe star]

Here is STEAM page on how: https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/601914904286567153/

[blazing parcel]

If anyone has seen a gek with an autophage body with purple and orange armor and and paint on the body that's was me

[astral lodge]

When you start an expedition on a new save do you still get the pillar or would you have to start a new save and grind to the anomaly to get the pillar and Corvette?

[remote thunder]

i havent seen any patches for your issue there @stoic hollow

[remote thunder]

no, you get the expedition starter gear the devs decided we are to have

[fringe star]

These are the rewards that transfer to all saves: Corvette Blueprint Poster plans, Build to Last Poster plans, Big Rig Poster plans, Vigilant Trail customization, Plasma Starship Trail, Deadeye Cannon plans and Deadeye Cannon weapon, Title: Shipwright, Corvette Decal plans, Corvette Banner customization, Mecha-Mouse Companion Egg

[stoic hollow]

what do i do then?

i don't really wanna wait for so long just for a patch yet at the same time i kinda want salvaging benefits so that i don't have to go part hunting anymore, if it's possible to copy the ship and repeat the process anyways

[remote thunder]

gentle reminder: there's a pinned post in this channel with all of those listed, as well as a full list of exp milestones

[remote thunder]

you'd be looking at save editing basically. to understand what went wrong, what's going on, and to try and fix it - and btw, did you already finish, and are fully back on primary?

[stoic hollow]

no, i haven't actually grabbed the final reward for this sole reason, for safety. Could this be the reason why?

[astral lodge]

Ok so it's better to grind to the anomaly and then start the expedition there

[stoic hollow]

I returned to my primary save just to copy the expedition ship

[fringe star]

Oh, you do need to finish

[stoic hollow]

let's hope this is the mistake

[remote thunder]

no, i dont think so. but it would be easier that you still have the exp char ongoing, to look at the save with the save editor, and do backups - since the ship still shows correctly in expedition character

[fringe star]

I don't think it will let you copy expedition ship and multitool over all expedition is ended

[remote thunder]

even if you do so, you're going to have the exp19 starter gear, because 1) starting from existing doesn't mean you get to pick your starter gear; 2) you'd get to anomaly ,after the first warp, to copy gear and get items you brought. and in exp19, we cant even copy any ships in

[remote thunder]

no - it lets you copy as many times as you want-

like

at most

[fringe star]

Before you end the expedition?

[remote thunder]

what will happen is that it refuses to copy while you still have the ship or MT in the primar char

[remote thunder]

yes, absolutely, that's well known. what exp19 does is, it prevents from copying ship in to exp19

you save, pause/options/return to primary

and exp terminus, primary char side, will see the last equipped ship and MT in exp side

[astral lodge]

That's what happened the the first time I started a new game on normal 2 weeks ago, I got the pillar when I started that file

[fringe star]

Interesting

[remote thunder]

we all get the same starter gear in normal mode for sure.

[remote thunder]

after you get expedition side exp terminus to unlock the inventory slots again, you can do the same thing, and bring back more than 8+24

[stoic hollow]

welp, i've ended the expedition but i haven't returned to the primary save yet

[astral lodge]

Right so stick with me you start a normal game get the pillar, and then grind the anomaly, then do expedition, best expedition, then copy ship to primary save and boom you have pillar and Corvette

[stoic hollow]

where do i look at my save again?

[remote thunder]

as long as you dont fully finish, that's fine

[remote thunder]

ah yeah, sure ofc

[astral lodge]

Ok thank you for clarifying ☺️

[fringe star]

on PC: %appdata%\HelloGames\NMS\ and here on mac: ~/Library/Application Support/HelloGames/NMS/

[remote thunder]

you'll need to use a save editor, and look at the json code probably, to copy the corvettes code, so that you could probably overwrite it over a corvette ship in the main save. but i've never done it myself, with corvettes at least.

check pinned posts in #nms-modding

this is a convo for that channel

backup your save folder before you start messing with the save editor, even if you're not changing anything

[fringe star]

I think they are just looking to back it up

[remote thunder]

oh ok all good then, that's easy

[lusty badge]

1 rendezvous, hitchhiking, take photo and emergency warp left. Really enjoyed my first expedition and my first experience of this game

[bleak lagoon]

I completed Exp19. Was I supposed to transfer my mech mouse to the Anomaly cargo transfer in order to receive it on my primary save?

[remote thunder]

you'll claim it from th quicksilver shop, in any other save under that account

you unlocked it account wide iow

[bleak lagoon]

Wow thank you. I was worried since I ENDED the expedition

[fringe star]

I do wish that the emergency transport was plan we got to keep

[remote thunder]

the orbital link thingy?

[fringe star]

yeah

[remote thunder]

yeah, that's gonna be a privilege for new saves->converted to normal

i love elixir of quicksilver, portal finding in seconds

[bleak lagoon]

What about the Corvette modules I unlocked? I've got my Corvette in my primary save but the cache is empty

[fringe star]

the orbital link probably trivializes smuggling too much

[remote thunder]

modules aren't unlocked, they are obtained and then consumed when used. the only exception afaik, is the deadeye cannon blueprint (a phase reward of exp19, also claimable from quicksilver shop in your other saves)

if you wanted to bring back modules for corvette building, you'd have to put them in the expedition terminus

corvette workshop cache isn't shared between different saves

[bleak lagoon]

Woops so all that is gone. I haven't done an expedition in forever. I didn't realize how that works. Thanks

[remote thunder]

well, truth be told, this is the first expedition that we have corvettes, and yeah, it's all new. dont worry about it.

[stoic hollow]

what's a good singular expensive part from corvettes that can be used for trading other stuff?

i might as well hunt for more parts and do some trading while waiting for a patch or a fix

[fringe star]

The ambassador class cockpits are one

[stoic hollow]

what else?

so ambassador parts?

[coral cove]

How do i complete resistance?

[bleak lagoon]

❤️

[coral cove]

Isn't it already complete? the bar is full but I still can't claim it

[stoic hollow]

check the final core again

[plush sand]

I am having a hard time. I am trying to do the fall thing from my ship and all I do is fly

[stoic hollow]

Have you tried the pinned method of dropping from just when you are entering a planet's atmosphere?

[plush sand]

I been doing it in space not near a planet. I will try close to 1

[surreal pulsar]

Having trouble finding a pirate controlled system

[arctic yarrow]

I'm having issues with the "Grounded" milestone. I'm literally on a Verdant planet but it doesn't complete for me.... thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

sad face

[surreal pulsar]

Goto the portal in the trading center and goto someone’s verdant portal

[arctic yarrow]

ill try that thank you for the suggestion.

[swift anvil]

whelp. one more milestone then im done.

gotta shut down sentinels on a planet and i didnt bring any gear with me from my other save so everything is potato

[arctic yarrow]

Fairly easy tbh, need a chart and the quickness xD

[arctic yarrow]

If you need a body guard just say the word. My milestone is bugged so I'm sorta free until I figure it out.

[wraith moss]

I’ve got the corvette modules in my inventory. When I go to trade them at the ‘advanced’ part, they don’t show up - only certain ones do. Can anyone help?

[quaint turtle]

Yoo, where to find "Scrap Dealer"?? I can't find him in the space station... Could anyone share where it is

[wraith moss]

I think the scrap dealer is in pirated space stations?

[arctic yarrow]

any space station back right under the stairs next the the fossil guy.

[quaint turtle]

Ohh, so he's not on regular SS?

[wraith moss]

Sorry, see above. I’m pretty new but I thought that’s where they were. My bad.

[stoic hollow]

so, question, if i backup my save using, say, foxtech, and then end my expedition. If the bug still presists and I revert to my backup save, will i break stuff?

[quaint turtle]

Got it, it's ok bro

[quaint turtle]

Thanks bro

[arctic yarrow]

cheers good luck

[wraith moss]

Anyone know the answer to this? 🤔

[arctic yarrow]

try relogging maybe. idk on that one

or put them in the cache

[wraith moss]

Yeah, it might be something like that. I tried to put it in the cache already. I’m off for the night so I’ll try tomorrow. Thanks!

[arctic yarrow]

good luck bud

[solemn bane]

You can't trade parts that you can buy from the shop.

[wraith moss]

Ah ok, thanks.

[balmy pike]

Well this is me being super new again, how do I create a conflict scanner? I got the blue print unlocked, but I can't actually see where i make it at.

[solemn bane]

Ship's tech inventory

[polar sage]

Select an empty tech slot in your corvette inventory

[balmy pike]

Oh ok

[inner vortex]

does anyone know if the corvette storage items in the space station save after you finish the expedition and change to main?

[solemn bane]

Only if you start from a new save, not if you start from an existing save.

[inner vortex]

omfg 💀 ok ty

[solemn bane]

Once you have finished the required milestones but before you click "End Expedition," you can put items in the expedition terminal and switch to your primary save in the pause menu to collect them. This can be repeated multiple times.

[halcyon bobcat]

If you started from an existing save there is a process to try and transfer as many items as you can to your regular save BEFORE you complete the expedition.

[inner vortex]

ah thanks i'll do that...just tedious

Yeah it sounds tedious and I guess soon enough I'll have "fun" with that myself once I finish the expedition.

[solemn bane]

What I have done a few times is just put every piece I could on my corvette. I call them my Pile of Junk MkI - MKV. They keep getting uglier, lol.

[halcyon bobcat]

So beautiful...from a certain angle. Hold on I'm still trying to find the right angle.

[inner vortex]

the second one is breaking my brain lol

[solemn bane]

The wide boy special

[inner vortex]

HAHAHAHAH

[halcyon bobcat]

They really should have just let us transfer as much as we wanted so we didn't have to do all this but I guess I get it.

[inner vortex]

too easy that way ig

make em work for it

[solemn bane]

Lots of "form over function" choices in this game's interface.

[open scaffold]

do we keep the corvette after the expedition thing im new and just played singleplayer for like 5 hours and just gave myself some stuff to start again from scratch in the expedition

[hexed gazelle]

I've never done an expedition before. a friend told me I should do it on another save file? how do I transfer any rewards I get to my main save?

[eager quail]

Hi, can someone help me with Hitchhiking for expedition 19? I'll gladly reward you

[indigo falcon]

rewards for end of phase or end of expedition are claimableonce per save file via the quicksilver vendor at the anomaly; the rest, you can transfer a limited number of resources back via theanomaly terminal to the main sav,e if you were on th emain save and went to the anomaly terminal to start the expediion. additionally you can, in the main save, take a copy of the ship and the mt equipped on the expedition save, for a certian number of nanites.

[indigo falcon]

you can get ac opy of it back on the main save via the anomaly terminal, see my answer right above this one

[hexed gazelle]

awesome, thanks for clearing that up

[indigo falcon]

there's info in the pins in here about that, you have to scroll back a few messages and look at the expeditions overview and what it says about starting and ending expeditions.

[open scaffold]

Thank u legend

[low horizon]

ok so I just tried to land in space station in first system and I just flew right through it and now just drifting in space. Thoughts?

[halcyon bobcat]

That is a bug that seems to be a bit more common then it should be as that has happened to me too but if you turn around and fly back out the way you clipped in you should make it back out in to open space. If it keeps happening then for some reason the space station is refusing to let you land. I had a couple systems do that to me and I can only guess there were too many corvettes in the station at the time.

[solemn bane]

CC @halcyon bobcat If it keeps happening I would disable multiplayer. I pretty much have to with my machine.

[low horizon]

I disabled MP the moment I started the expedition. I reloaded a save point and it worked

[halcyon bobcat]

It only happened in a couple of systems near the start of the expedition and that is just my theory as to why.

I honestly didn't even know it was an option to do the expedition offline.

[solemn bane]

Disabling multiplayer is one step (you'll still see bases etc, just not players and player ships), but going fully offline is what I do so I don't have to see any "Discovered by HelloGames" and all the base icons etc.

[halcyon bobcat]

I honestly didn't let it bother me too much and ended up warping to the next system and after a couple jumps I was finally allowed to land.

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

[torpid oracle]

When did they fix this? I am almost certain I did this when the update came out, within the first or second patch

[solemn bane]

I noticed it on day one when I played the expedition.

(First time I did corvette stuff)

[torpid oracle]

Huh. Maybe it's an expedition-only thing? Like, I'm almost certain it was letting me, but with rates so low it wasn't worth it

Like you'd have to trade 20+ parts to make it possible

[solemn bane]

Possible but I did also read it elsewhere.

[halcyon bobcat]

Time to continue with Phase 4...starting with a leap down to a planet. This is going to be fun.

[solemn bane]

I recommend making an Orbital Uplink beforehand. Pulse to a planet and stop right as you get the entering atmosphere message and jet packing on the way down. Use the Uplink when you hit the 60s mark to return to the space station since it can take a while to land.

[halcyon bobcat]

I made it! Also first time I've had to use my launch thrusters since I started the expedition.

[solemn bane]

You can check the latest notes on the experimental branch here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/

Otherwise we won't know anything you don't know.

I've seen people having luck adjusting their graphics settings in game, but it feels pretty random.

[frosty carbon]

Hope HG extend the expedition as for some it's unplayable now, or I'll just use save editor to unlock all rewards in future.

[hoary grove]

Do stats like met x amount of aliens etc carry over to main save?

Eg pre exp let's say I was 40 aliens met, during expedition I met let's say 10, so post expedition should be 50? Or does that not carry over?

[halcyon bobcat]

I didn't look ahead to see that I was going to have to take on the role of a pirate for Phase 4. This will be the first time I've smuggled anything.

[fresh barn]

Does quicksilver transfer back into primary save, or is this always shared?=

[halcyon bobcat]

As far as I know Quicksilver is part of your account and not save specific but don't quote me on that.

[fresh barn]

when ending expedition:

1. do i keep the corvette if it's my active ship? do i need to specify this or is it automatic?
2. what about the corvette cache/storage?
3. once i confirm to end expedition, do i need to come with the stuff prepared in my inventory or can I go back and forth to fill in items to carry over?

[halcyon bobcat]

You can go back and forth BEFORE you choose End Expedition. There is some tutorial and apparently it's a bit tedius if you want to transfer all your items over but it involves switching back and forth to your normal save.

[fresh barn]

I see how to copy the ship back now, on the terminus. some nanite cost and storage items is not brought, but i will find that tutorial

[nova scaffold]

For Hitchhiker milestone - do i just board any random player corvette?

[halcyon bobcat]

Yes but you might want to ask the pilot to fly you around the system because if they warp they will leave you behind if you are not in a group with them.

[nova scaffold]

ah i see.

thanks

[solemn bane]

@nova scaffold Or just keep an Orbital Uplink/the Chromatic Metal to craft one handy

[hoary grove]

You can also always summon your ship in space

[solemn bane]

Corvettes are so damn good, lol.

[nova scaffold]

thanks. just need to find someone to taxi me around the system abit lol

[spare mist]

anyone need free advance module? i can give, i have em alot

[hoary grove]

Call in the space anomaly and board a random corvette lol, you can emote "sit" and hide

Make sure MP is switched on though

[hoary grove]

You can only bring a set amount of cargo back, and that too only after ending the expedition. All tech carries over iff you decide to copy the tool and or ship

Installed tech*
