Yess and no. Theres other options. For example, there's some tools to play all previous expeditions offline. Or you can use the service bot for getting the rewards.
those tools/service bot is different ways of modding & save editing, so technically it's yes
yeah, pretty much, save editing or modding (PC only) is basically the only way unless the devs do a redux, which is very unlikely
it would be pretty cool if they did a redux of all the expeditions for their 10yr anniversary from release.
Playing No Man's Sky is really just save editing.
Did the expedition change?
no active expedition at this time

No gifs in this channel please
I really wish they would just let us pay to play old expeditions

Time to speedrun
I might be over prepared for this expedition.
okay... uh... forgot what i should bring with me
I got over 600,000,000 units in fusion igniters and stasis devices to send. Along with 200 sus tech and arms packages for nanites.
check pinned posts
Is there anything in this specific expedition, that I should bring?
HUGE
A returning player as of last 2 week, should I use my main save or create new save.
I want to use existing save, but some reddit things said new saves have an easier time with expedition?
Main imo
mm depends on what you count as easier. with your main save, you would be able to bring items into the expedition and use them, so if you wanted, bring like a warp cell or smth. you can bring packaged tech too
and if you want to start fresh, with no items, you can still do your main save, but just not bring any items. I'd say it's definitely easier to do it on your main save
is anyone having a problem with getting wiring looms
So you're saying to bring wiring looms
i was but i now need them
Oh it’s already started?
Well if Nintendo take as long as they did with voyagers switch 2 players will only have a day to complete it…
How's the expedition for those lucky people who didn't get the update at 8 am
this is my starter ship, its got even sides
Has the expedition already started?
yes
Not on all platforms i think
I believe it’s started on all platforms with the update, you can check what platforms have the update in #nms-news-ticker
Oh no
Oh no no no
Not another one of these
Aight time to relearn refiner recipes for the expedition
hello games, this is an intervention
you NEED to put a corvette teleport pad in abandoned space stations
@hoary shadow is it the same when trying to refiner, let’s say carbon into condensed carbon, or is it only for some recipes?
@fringe agate we have another expedition with a funny refiner
Well there goes my weekend
Start expedition with new save or from anomaly?
it glitched for me, worked in the ship but not outside
try that if you havent yet
wtf i just had a rock up and crawl away from me
so the expedition is live?
What do we bring to this expedition btw
I got ferrite, chromatic metal, gold, di-hidrogen, larval core, hadar core, repair kit, what else?
Something for units?
Eh whatever
A few tips since this is apparently in abandoned mode
For every station you go to make sure you interact with the yellow salvage boxes (small containers)
They more often than not contain modules and other things
You cannot get a freighter at all so don't bother looking for them, pirates also do not exist in abandoned mode, and by extension, pirate systems.
All stations will be abandoned ones using an update version of the NEXT station model.
Oxygen and something to convert into nanites I'd say.
I currently can’t complete the objective to search the freighter. Every time I exit the corvette I get flung away thousands and thousands of meters. Reloading the game just ate my scanner and is making me craft another one and I still can’t get out of my corvette properly. Guess I’ll be waiting for a patch
First question I will always ask
Is your multiplayer enabled?
Yes
Damn I dont have a runaway mould farm for the nanites
Disable your MP and then try again, it might be freaking out cause of multiple players being in system
switch 2 got 6.0 like 20 days late, so i guess that means we might only have 1 day to do the expedition 😅 😭
Don't need one
Radiant shards are a great source provided you can find em
You'll want some jetpack upgrades to traverse planets fast for them if you go that method
It's like, 100 nanites per shard i think?
Oh then I'm probably having too little nanites rn but I see
You could also get a tonne of fish and release them into the water one by one to get some nanites too.
Expedition still going on?
Its a new one
Bro someone is using the login ship in the expedition
Is the expedition ship you get rng or something?

in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam
Yea, last one ended a few weeks ago. And this one came out today
This new expedition will be my first one, but from the patch notes, it seems like I need to have a corvette to enjoy it, but I am not sure....
I hope we don't wait that long but they'll extend it if that happens?
ANy tips on what I should carry over from my main save?
These but in yellow are salvage boxes, they're very, very good.
Starting system planets in expedition should have salvage scrap for unlocking corvette parts
Oxygen, ferrite, repair kits if you have some, some fish or radiant shards for nanites
Is the starting ship pure rng in this expedition
Is it worth risking to break main save though, think I'll just start as new save. 🤔
I am gonna do from main save
I don't think it'd break your save
It never has for me
I will say another tip because its fucking some people over
Turn off your MP
It makes you go flying away from your corvette for some reason if you don't
Oh that's weird
Yo is the expedition starting ship pure rng?
Like I can get any ship in game ?
anything specific to take into the expi this time around?
is 20 new, or are we starting the "replay" season?
New
how do we like this one so far?
For the current expedition you need the atlantid drive for the mission. But to get that you need indium. But to get that you need the indium drive. But to get that is????? I breezed through expedition 19, but this one has already blocked me twice, because the game also doesn't say you can refine the quartzite for chromatic metal
isnt one of the early expedition rewards a pre-packaged atlantid drive
when i made my corvette it also came with an atlantid drive
Did you start expedition with new save?
no, do you not get the pre-packaged atlantid drive (from that one mission in phase 1) from starting a new save?
THANK YOU i confused crafting from a blueprint and missed the freebie
yea, if you get a 'pre-packaged' module, it means you got the module itself
i exited my ship to do a debris slavage and it launched me 4ku away from my ship so i had to reload and now i have to make a new one wtf
wait at least it saved as i activated it nvm
Idk, still deciding if risking main save to expedition is worth it.
so, you have to start the new exp. from a new game to get what you need?
this keeps happening
happy games please fix this, i cant do the debris salvage at all, neither can alot ot other ppl
The new update is insane
Some people recommend to start expedition as new save, if you don't want the main save corrupted.
it can corrupt your save?!
Apparently
I only ask to save me the time of storing the stuff on the Anomaly, to pick up in the new exp.
already a new expedition?
So is anyone else getting yeeted when they get close to these abandoned vettes?
hope switch doesn’t have to wait a few weeks again
this one is new, but only goes for 3 weeks
Or backup your save
Blame nintendo.
i already know its them thats slow
pretty much everyone, just leaving a corvette is difficult
Will I be able to take my rewards into my main save?
If you do what?
Idk, new ship parts but still build limit of 100....
Yes. Expedition progress rewards is account wide.
The expedition rewards are unlocked un whole account
Sweet, never did one before only 30 hours in
Use the anomaly to start from an existing save, you then can transfer the new items gained (e.g. farmed or given) back to the main save
Well, guess I will put this on ice until they patch the expedition issues
There are issues?
Oh good idea, but I'll backup save first
I'd like the rewards for my main game (1300hrs) but don't want to risk corrupting the file...is there a link on how to back up your main save?
Yes. once you get to salvaging the corvettes they randomly throw you violently.
I am on pc...just don't like messing with game files
I recommend new save rather
I found a flaming planet with sentient plants and has eyes
Probably already know, but replace "bhhales" with your username lol. Or, better yet, just type in %appdata% in the explorer.
One tried jumping away in the expedition what lol
Copying isn't messing around
Or use save editor to backup files
Ill probably start my run in s few days
Is the new expedition out?
Wait, has it started already?
Seems so for pc
Is this expedition quick/easy?
Where am i suppose to get chromatic metal for the warp drive? The system doesnt have copper and i cant summon the space anamoly
You can refine quartzite into chrom metal
quartzite
Really? How so?
WHAT okay i see thank you
It doesn't say so, but if you put it in a refiner it'll work
np
I went through this like 20 mins ago
It now takes seconds to load and render point to point for warping on Mac rn instead of at least a minute
Is there any way to get a technology merchant?
they didnt update the chromatic metal entry :Saddies:
Like idk what happened then from PC to Mac lol
Hmm, odd, for me it was more or less the same between PC and Mac I think. Will check it later, thanks for reporting!
It took a whole minute on either starship on Corvette and not everything got loaded properly when I first moved over with cross saves
Glad its mostly fixed now
How do I avoid getting flung into space when leaving my corvette?
Rocket man
Dont walk off in autopilot
i dont have it on and it still happens
make sure your parking brake is on first
What specific stuff should I take from my main save besides carbon and oxygen?
I heard turning of multilayer helps
didnt test it though
alright ill try that
People already in the expedition, are we allowed to copy our ship from our main save this time?
dont think so
yes
Man I forgot to bring some radiant shards over for nanites again
I sure hope so because I did
Why do you need nanites?
Now how do I get the nanites to copy lmao
Guessing corvettes are mandatory since space walk to derelicts is involved.
Ye
send yourself sopme runaway mould to process
😭
Do I also need nanites this time?
they are very helpfull
Or is it too early to tell
how do i get into the arcadia ship?
if you're starting from an existing save, you'll always need nanites to copy your gear
Not sure tbh
But what for?
In case this is handy for anyone:
copying ships/multitools
Ah, I thought something inside the expedition needing it
Any materials worth transfering from main?
How do I copy over my ship and multi-tool?
Sorry, I haven't analyzed it yet; literally just finished writing it 😉
There is no option for me 🙁
chromatic metal can be Helpfull
Last time it wasn't, that is why I'm asking
is there a 1000 u deep water planet at the rdv 2 system?
Fetch an atlantid drive since you won't have access to it in the expedition
I literally put so much stuff in the box, from which I needed like only 5 items
Being able to softlock yourself in expedition removes so much of the fun for me
you get the atlantid drive as a rewqard
Oh, that's neat
If only that were the case for the previous expedition too
Whut
you will have to craft this multiple times
I assume the yellow ingredients aren't exactly common in the trade terminals, are they
Ok, so Gold, Silver, Chromatic Metal, Processor, Carbon, Oxygen, Ferrite, Antimatter, Stasis Device
turn off multiplayer
they are not rare
Well, as long as they're accessible I suppose you don't exactly need to import them
(Although doing so would significantly speed up your progression)
What I hated in the last expedition was that I needed to farm frost crystals
So that's why I'm asking what to bring so I don't need to farm
okay ...where do i find this fkng anomalous flying creature , ive been to so many purple systems
true
Funny that you mention it, apparently they reduced the grow time for all plants (specifically for that expedition) so it really didn't matter what you grew for the quest
you will have to farm storm cristals and sea glas, but not much of both
If it's tied to a milestone, can probably find in one of the rendezvous planets / systems; I'd leave it for later if you are struggling now, unless you need the milestone reward
Is the next expedition out rn? I haven't had to update my game yet nor have I seen it in the Anomaly (I'm on ps4)
Yes, but PS4 didn't get the update yet I reckon.
Yeah, still waiting.
i need the reward from it for the next milestone
dont really have a choice with this one
Ohh, I see.
its stupid , "go find this one specific rare spawn" , wtf
Alrighty, guess Ill wait a lil longer, go finish farming mushrooms on warframe
I assume for this item, you’ll need metal plating, quantum computer, and solar mirror? I’m trying to find what to being on the expedition
yes
How do I complete the last quest of the 1st phase?
when you get out of your ship at rendevous 2
where is it i've looked everywhere
Does someone have a screenshot of all the challenges?
@tiny lily
this really is a space oddity (i literally jsut got out of my ship wtf)
turn off multiplayer
it has the same icon as salvageble srap
the only thing i see when scanning are the medusa reactors
does anybody have any tips for finding the creature in phase 3 ?
rdv 2 has pretty sea creatures
OHH NVM FOUND IT
You find one yet? the game just says "buy them lul" like every space station isn't completely abandoned
the stations have trade terminals in one of the side rooms
❤️
What's the exact goal
adopt an anomalous floating companion eg : one of the weird ones from purple systems that float
Any bad bugs in expedition?
It says purple?
Because typically anomalous just means exotic
Is there a simpler / faster way to get living pearls
it just needs to be one of the 3 weird floating ones , the tiddymonster or the geometric one or that like ...pufferfish one
I'd go to an exotic in a purple and get one of the floating bubbles or !
but i cant find any of them
Oh
ya
if i get launched out of my ship one more time i'm going to lose it
and for the life of me i cant find any of them which is so odd cuz they're usually common
Well someone will find them somewhere on the route, any fauna from every other expedition is always on the way or in an rdv
ya im at rdv3 but the problem is you CANNOT progress without completing this one
its stupid
literally stuck
anyone else getting absolutely yeeted into space when they get near a lost corvette?
yes.
and for some reason we cant chat in game , it just KZZZZT's me so i cant ask anybody
Lol
I have no idea what it is, i had my ship being launched into the ship too
Abandoned mode?
Yes
it was kinda funny the first time, but i'm currently at my fifth attempt to interact with a box
anyone an idea how to get inside the fire corvette?? both entrance are blocked! and i getting kick out to space everytime i get to near
I always let others play and guinea pig and some patches roll out
like RDV3 is a gas giant with 5 moons ,you'd think it would have what i need
thats shit dude. i just want the atlas parts , we cant glyph portal so "other people finding it" does nothign for me
anything you need to grind for? What should I take from main save?
Of course it does, they could say where it is - you are in the same places
Then you just go back to whatever system
i was finally able to do it by parking my ship ON the box and just barely stepping outside
and then i got launched immediately after, but i still am able to progress now
yeah i just did that too
can storage containers be crafted on the corvette?
yes
but they are specifically corvette interior parts, not just the regular storage containers
YESSSSSS
which planet?
Is there a simpler way of getting living pearls?
Is the breach expedition out on Xbox yet
how is 🚪 connected to breach?
my best guess would be breaching the door
No
No
fyi if u are running some meta mods u will be bugged and crash during the debris field looting part of the expedition
not sure wat mod is causing it, havent fully looked into
but disabling mods, makes it passable
My goodness lad you are set for eternity
in the expedition?
What's your nanites supply
How's the grind on this expedition?
Not much
I got phase 1 done in like an hour
without excess materials from my main save
get always the auto charger
Is the anomaly available in this exped?
xD as I ask the option to summon just appeared
Yesn't
Should I wait on trying the new expedition? Is it buggy? Or should I wait a few days? Thanks.
Some people report glitches with the derelicts but otherwise it seems fine
Apart from phase 2 are there any other tasks that need the submarine / deep diving into the horror show that is the ocean?
I need to build the submarine?
Turn mp off to avoid some 🐛
Has ps4 received expedition yet?
admittedly my first expedition, is anyone having trouble with the Pre-Packaged Atlantid Drive Unit? i cant find indium anywhere
ah, we need indium this time?
Turn off multiplayer? Is that what you mean? Will do.
im not sure, feels like i did something wrong
Thanks!
Has ps4 received expedition yet?
Now that I have my condor to hand this expedition is gonna really begin
Can you copy your ship in new expedition, or its like in 19th?
yoo i found a warp hypercore
So lemme get this straight
For each phase I gotta farm up like one debris locator and use it ?
And each debris got one log and two corvette parts?
afaik
so to verify, Xbox doesn't have the update, so it doesn't have the expedition yet?
Is it out on ps4 yet???
correct saucy
you can
anybody figure out where the "infested planet" is yet?
Oh yeah
What would you say would be the Most Important Items to bring from my Main Save into this New Expedition?
Plus you have a good amount of inventory room to get all of the items you need and you may want to bring
i just found one along the route, BIFRIT SIFGMA in Ainaiso
not for this one tho...
rendevous 3
synthesizing your corvette in the expedition is.... broken?
Most of the time it usually applies. Like the auto charger and stuff
one of the moons of the gas giant?
Is that a repeating Expedition from last year?
What is the status on ps4 update?
jk i loaded the restore point
i cant search one yellow box because my "inventory is full", it really isnt
yes, auto charger, but what else?
jk thats not my corvette lol
I haven't gotten the update yet, maybe in 5 mins?
Last year, will probably not be repeated. But as i said, that stuff usually applies for every expedition
where tf is that .....ughhh
Ok gotcha... Thank You!
its in the rendevous system that is marked at teleeport terminals
The warp hypercores, the o2, the launch fuel, the aqua jets, carbon, nanite making things, chromatic metal, basically all things on that list are suggested. That one was not just for that expedition
last time I didn't need nantite nor aqua jets
Wait is the expedition already out?
why does literally every expedition need you to explore a derelict freighter?
You may not need nanites.
People do things differently. i for one find the aqua jets very handy
Big Freighter demands it
is it worth getting dioxide and cold protection this time?
✅
Well considering you may be spacewalking a bit, you may need it
ok, I'll get that
Has the expedition started?
Yes
Anyone found a infested planet?
anybody else having issues with getting flung away from your ship when trying to EVA?
where do you start it?
Cant seem to find one near the rdv 3 system
Yes sometimes
i've found that it doesn't happen if you disable multiplayer
Either in the Anomaly expedition terminal (in the middle behind the quest thing) or in a new save
go it
The expedition isnt showing up for me, still says its coming soon and it keeps telling me to resume expedition 19
Ive been to 12 systems and none has infected planets 😭
You on xbox?
Its not out there yet
the flinging bug is particularly bad if you try to skydive - you get flung into space at near pulse drive speeds instead
Wait for #nms-news-ticker announcement
(Rough estimate 24-72h)
need help for the anomalous floating companing, can't find any
Alr, thank you
Click the milestone
Itll tell you where it is
Which system you gotta go to
im already there
What planet types are there
Just go to a weird planet
Mine was "metallic"
okay so i made it to the infested world thanks to homies help , now wtf do i do
one is stellar corruption but there was none
i m not seeing any markers for tentacles
Move a bit
Can't find the chat, but echoing the glitch where you approach the derelict corvette and it jettisons you super far away. I can't even get close enough to get the log and it pissed me off enough to want to wait a few days for a patch.
huh?
Warp to a diff spot
on the planet?
Yes
People report that turning multiplayer off fixes the issue
i dont even know what im looking for
I can't imagine being a new player and trying to get through the start of this expedition. Tells you to go into space, then build a warp drive...
@ornate portal
ohhhh those
Isn't that like, the average game start tho
(Except for it being in an abandoned galaxy which is kinda miserable ngl)
If you ever want to finish off the catalog getting the salvaged modules, it take a lot of trips in derelict freighters. Always good to get ahead of it if its an ambition
wtf dude am i on the right planet
well game developed biggest bug for me yet when trying to search corvette debri in space it throws me away from the debri and the debri disapppers and when use restore point my debri research beacon has gone and so has the debri
Is there a way to avoid the getting thrown around? Anyone find anything?
turn off multiplayer
I guess I'm just a little tired of the start from scratch myself. I play at a fully formed level so much I have a hard time figuring it out, gotta be worse for new players.
Is that what's doing it?
it is abandoned!?
why does this expedition also have explore a derelect freighter?
derelect freighters are so annoying
The last one didn't have one? (I think)
last one did
it did
was a lot of folks had trouble with it
Must've forgotten
its just so annoying because i cant see much and have little to no experience with derelect freighters
got an advanced mining laser pog, just need 50 radiant shards now
I love derelict freighters! Can’t wait to jump in.
If they didn't turn you into a slug it would've been nicer but yeah
ye, need them so I can refine em and then buy my regular corvette
as a loot goblin, i too enjoy the derelicts
what tech should i bring with me? i'm kinda confused as to what i should take
I also love the feeling you get aboard them. Piecing together what happened to the crew, etc.
id like to be able to get through those messages faster, i've scoured so many
You only need the security access codes or w/e they're called
Once you get the item, I just ignore the every other message pad
i know but the completionist in me, cant
Says fully explore
I mean in general w/ derelicts, but also I have no idea if anything except the three terminals matter in regular ones 
Isn't exactly a way to know without testing it in-expedition
How do you go about finding and scanning every flora fauna and mineral on a planet?
Painfully so
if it says to fully explore, i wants the 3 consoles/teleporters and teh exploration checkmarks... the notepads or whatever probably dont matter
That did the trick thanks!
Yeah, seems to be a somewhat common issue with this update.
got to the lost corvette, but got no clue what to do after getting 2 pieces, found a hatch but nothing happens when i interact with it.
you can check your progress in the discoveries menu
When is it out on xbox
are those enough or do I need something else?
Happened to me too
Hey anyone know why it wont let me do the new expedition? Im on xbox and it dosent say there's an update for the game but when i load in and go to new game it tell me there isn't a new one to be started
Update not out yet on console, standby.
Oh well thst sucks
But any tricks to find the remaining stuff? I have about 2/3 of the stuff
I’m new to the game do you have to start from scratch on expeditions?
(Not a question for this expedition, but expeditions in general.) For expeditions started from a preexisting primary save, the Expedition Terminal’s locker unlocks when you complete all required milestones, but not before, right? Meaning, you can “pack” things you think you might need before but not alter them once the expedition’s started. But once you’ve finished the goals, you can go back and forth between saves and move things as you like? (Except for things that are expedition-specific like the station-teleporter gizmos from the last one, of course…)
I swear expo used be out at 2 pm uk time
Give it like a day or two
I'm also on the waiting list, PS4 here
Appreciate it
for the fauna, there will be clues to location, but flora and minerals its a bit more guesstimation work
Same here, That's why I'm just gathering some information now before I get the update
Is it just me or does this look like it may be one of the more annoying expeditions with all the underwater stuff?
So far the only 2 devices with it are Steam and PS5
Did they solve some of the landing/teleporting issues with these beasts?
Same kinda
I LOVE UNDERWATER STUFF!!
PC and PS5*
PC is split into Steam and GOG
The number of abyssal horrors is crazy
Most annoying thing ive encountered so far is the required derelict freighter
no, you can start the expedition from inside the anomaly using the console behind the quicksilver vendor, if you dont already have a game in play the expedition can be used accelerate your progress gear/ship
oh yeah shall i do this!!
The ocean stuff is pretty simple
hehe no hyperdrive upgrades until halfway through
If its only just dropped today it might be awhile because it has to go through Certification on Xbox idk about Playstation hopefully it gets out to us soon..
Ye
It's related to multiplayer. Turn it off and you no longer drift.
Ps5 has it, ps4 does not
Yeah those can be annoying
More annoying than the one in the last expedition for some reason — or derelict freighters just annoy you in general?
Is anybody else enjoying the getting launched into space when trying to explore derelict corvettes or is that just me
In general
Isnt it kinda odd that in an abandoned game mode theres even a derelict freighter? Did it build and crash itself?
Yes, no system has any life
Aside from animals ofc
There are space stations but no ones in them
is every station abandoned? Is this a dead universe?
I think they get boring and repetitive and people certainly played the hell out of them when they were the only sure sources for certain resources (like SFM’s). But most people probably don’t ever bother with them, so the expeditions are a way to engage. I think they’re pretty fun the first few times, and in VR they’re always super-spooky in a way NMS rarely is.
Yep
Thanks, got that tip already.
Turn off multiplayer
Happened to me and turning off multiplayer fixed it
waow interstellar referance
thats an interesting mission
How long is breach lasting?
oooh that looks fun
Have they added an inventory cargo storage selector for corvettes like for freighters in this update? I was really hoping, but I don’t see it in the release notes
3 weeks if you mean the expedition
Ty, started today?
I shall name him George
any recommendations on what to bring into my expedition?
Yep
How necessary is it to scan everything on the planet?
where can I preview the new expedition rewards?
Anomaly, where you claim them
You can scan fauna on exotic planets for easy nanites since it's only one species per planet.
Any recommendations for what items and tech I should take into the expedition?
At the QS vendor?
Yes but isn't it a part of the expedition that you have to scan everything on the first planet?
That I don't know unfortunately, still don't have access to the update yet.
No? It pops up on occasion, but no. not necessary. Keep following the checklist in the expedition tab, the game's ticker does distract a lot.
is every system abandoned lmao
Yes, it's an abandoned expedition.
Abandoned is a difficulty.
so no money and nanites :(
Yes
does the first rendevous have an ocean deep enough for the 1k milestone?
im dumb
Comes harder, but not impossible to get both.
They don’t always do a great job of distinguishing between true new-game tutorial triggers and expeditions, so any prompt that looks exactly like one you get in a new game like that can usually be safely ignored. One way to check this is to select different milestone objectives — the related pointer will come up immediately after selecting a milestone and exiting the screen if it’s expedition-related.
is there a specific way to get to 1001 u under sea level?
you're a godsend 💀
just go down with the sub
The rendezvous planet is the 1000u deep ocean
Well I guess it's Spaghettification Time!
The what
Please tell me there isn't anything down there to hunt me
Why do I keep falling down into the void during the Shipbreaking milestone when I obtain some loot from the corvette with a mining laser?
I haven’t started this expedition yet, but every expedition has phases, and each phase includes a “Rendezvous” as the final item and it’s always in a specific place.
Ron Day Vu
Hmmm, cant seem to find a place deep enough
will keep trying
Move a bit
I just got off a planet that had similair oceans and there were some not happy fish please not again
Some place is shallow af
This was my main game not the expedition just started that
If you can get close, those type of goals do allow you to just dig with the Terrain Manipulator to get to completion.
Yeah they get angry when you disturb their nest lol
fair enough
Specifically these guys doing bit and run tactics
will do
ill try, i dont think i can dig through whats blocking me, looks like its the like... bedrock of the planet
How to get the chromatic metal to get out of the first star system?
Just wondering but what's the usual update schedule for ps4 whenever a new update comes out?
Mine copper with terrain manipulator and refine it
refine quartzite
Yes, if the Terrain Manipulator doesn’t do anything when you fire it then you’re out of luck.
Or quartzite i haven't played the expedition yet
There is no copper on the first rdv afaik
Any stellar metal should do
Yh ik that now, I was also curious as to how long it is for ps4 to receive the update after it drops
found a player called "sentinel soldier" in red text? went and found them and they seem just like a regular player. anytimee they do anything that generates a chat message it just says "-kkkzzzkt-" or something of the sort
Abandoned mode, no chatting allowed
But yeah what is the usual window for updates?
They had us in the first half ngl
In VR you can play charades…
oh no. do none of the abandoned stations have teleporters to the corvette workshop?
Spell out whatever with corvette habs
i cannot for the life of me find a vile brood
Pirate stations don’t, either
Check #nms-news-ticker but for Voyagers it was around 24h after first platforms got it
vile brood or hungering tendrils?
Metamorphosis?
planet has it detected but im just not finding it
Its in the rdv 4 system
Oh
I'd just move to the other side of the planet
That usually works
I always put pre-packaged Rocket Boots into my Expedition Terminal locker before starting because it’s so annoying to get around space stations and other places where ordinary traversal isn’t allowed
but why would you need to move in space stations?
You can do the whole expedition with only visiting 1 station to make a corvette
I was responding to someone saying the stations don’t have teleporters to the corvette pads
Oh, i just used my own so i landed in the pads and made another one
No need to walk
I haven’t actually done the expedition yet, so I don’t know how much this one requires. It’s just a general thing. It’s not like you’re lacking in tech slots on expeditions, so why not?
Valid
do you get free nautilus?
Every expedition can be done without taking anything with u. U take stuff if u want to speed up thing that is most anoying to do or just save time. Tasks should be listed in pins so read the so u would know what to take
Yes
Oh wow new expedition!
Question, is it better to start this expedition from the Nexus or a new save file?
up to u
how are you supposed to get chromatic metal in the expedtion?
I personally just did it in the nexus
Also I play in VR a lot, and unless someone’s figured out something new, Rocket Boots are the fastest way to get around in general in VR.
Refine quartzite
It bears repeating: Turn off PvP. It is on by default.
or just turn off mp
Does anyone know the ETA for the expedition on Xbox?
Nope
oh i didnt know you could do that
any stellar metal
If you think you might want to bring inventory items back to your save (or bring items in, like I do with Rocket Boots), do it from the Anomaly terminal. Otherwise it doesn’t matter. (Inventory items, meaning actual things that have chips in your inventory storage. Anything else from the expedition you can get from the vendor later.)
Anyone else on xbox not have the update yet?
No one on xbox does, because it isn't on xbox yet.
Everyone on xbox, it sounds like.
PC and PS both got it but we just suffering over here
Has anyone encountered a bug on water worlds where it says you can't place the nautilon even though you are underwater? Wondering if theres a method before I jump to find another water world.
any known bugs? especially on space walks on the new milestones?
They drop expeditions on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, and depending on which day, a different set of platforms get it before others. Happens every time. Wednesday’s always bad for Xbox, I think
Turn off MP otherwise you can't get near the corvettes
turn off mp
do i need to craft 5 multiporceesors or can i buy it at the space station?
this blackhole milestone is ass
I mostly care about like corvette parts, because those are annoying to get, and last expedition I started a new save from scratch.
Or are those not transferable?
I gotta backtrack all the way to the rdv
Buy em
welp, game randomly decided to send me through a black hole despite not being anywhere near it
Theres a guy on yt i been watching with 9-20 viewers rn he a chill dude snd can help yall if needed
For those, the best thing to do if you have nanites in your original save is: 1) complete the expedition but don’t finalize it at the terminal; 2) build a corvette with all the parts you want to bring over; 3) switch to primary save; 4) go to the Expedition Terminal and copy your ship over; 5) take it to a station to rip it up for parts.
If you don’t care about something some might consider an exploit, you can even sell the ship to an NPC so it’s not in your ship list anymore and then re-copy it for a second copy of the corvette parts. Repeat as many times as you like and nanites allow.
anyone else getting absolutely YEETED by the destroyed corvettes is space? i cant even get close if im outside my ship lol
they haven't even touched the deployable refiner
if you know, you know
Disable multiplayer
It's a semi common bug with the current version
ah gotcha
where the hell can i find the journal of the crashed corvette???
hit quick scan, look around nearby for the wifi icon
same as salvaged data icon/derelict freighter log snippet icon
oh, scan
I call BS on anyone who claims they used an expedition before the last one to get corvette parts, though, since that would mean you had corvettes before the game did, would it not…
you can ride these?
I always toss some Repair Kits in there but I never use them…
If u manage to catch one . Yes.
Prompt is hard to get
what about time travel though?
checkmate
How the f**k am I supposed to make chromatic metal if there aren’t any stellar materials anywhere in the expedition starting system?!
quartzite
Hyperdrive fuel’s a good idea b/c it can be annoying when the rendezvous sites are far apart and you don’t get lucky with a hyperdrive upgrade (when you’re on most expeditions that have vendors, sounds like this one doesn’t, so maybe hyperdrive fuel’s an even better idea than usual)

I thought every system had stellar metals?
they do. The description for chromatic metal just isnt updated to include quartzide
It’s sounding like besides my Rocket Boots, environment protection upgrades and maybe hyperdrive upgrades are the choices for the tech slots to start the expedition with…
Anyone remember cords for rendevous 2...
there is quarzite
how do i find the biological horrors cause i cant find a cartographer
each abandoned building hhas some
Have they monkeyed around with when the Anomaly becomes available from expedition to expedition, or is it always upon reaching the first rendezvous?
i cant find the buildings
hungerng tendrils have some too
fly low and use ships scanner C and check HUD icons
Usually after your first warp jump, whether that's to a rendezvous system or not.
Is mission 7 in first phase bugged? Cause I am doing what it wants me to do and it doesn't count
Are infested systems labelled in the galaxy map somehow?
you should be able to warp there with a portal
I meant The X Y LOCATION
I need indium for phase 1. how am I supposed to get that?
Could someone please respond me?
mine worked
did you grab the log thingy from space near the wreck?
Bugged how? Is ur mp off?
If anyone is doing the expedition...
That EXACT PLACE HAS 1000U depth...
Instead of landing exactly on R2 ... Land nearby land... And get the nautilon...and go towards it...you will reach 1000u objective as well...
I missed it's location
It didn't appear on my scanner and I didn't know about it...
where do I find chromatic metal in the starting system?
look for the blue wifi icon near the wreck
I don't know if it's on Xbox yet cuz apparently my Xbox is not picking up the update
Found it, thank you!
Refine quartzite.
What part is MISSION 7?
Need to get that quartzite thing in the pins.
I mean, the part that it wants you to use the scanner and loot a wrecked corvette
Ones that require a scanner often require you select them as your current objective to complete them (and sometimes to make progress on them if it’s not a one-and-done thing)
I know they are called milestones but I just call them missions for some reason
Same difference. I knew what you meant
You make that scanner thingy...
(Make 5 of those just to save yourself of headache or making them again and again)
Enable it...
Pulse...
Ship appears...
Get out of your ship...
Scan ...
Mine the parts...then look around for floating black box
Done
I know, I just didn't know about the black box as it didn't show on my scanner.
I guess with corvettes we could now have missions (including expedition milestones) that require use of the Objective Scanner (that’s not the proper name, but you know what I mean, right?) in space, couldn’t we?
technicaly
yes
I'm still having problems with my game registering that the update exists
how does one find an Infested system in the Galactic Map?
there's at least 1 infested subtype planet in rdv systems
hey anyone on rdv 5?
So open my eyes and read? You are teh GOAT as the kids would say
Game says that theres a relic world
Cant seem to find the planet
None of the planet has the rocks
ah that's what you're looking for
I saw that @remote thunder 😉
no cool relic buildings on any of the worlds?
look for any of beige synonyms
Which tech should I take to expedition?
icy ruin is a ruin world synonym
that's the one.
GUH
check pinned post in this channel
I figured that its that one too
i join the expedition and crash Dx
Turn off mp
not my ship flying into the nexus and then out the other side revealing the backrooms where i can open another anomaly and fly in and there are no npcs
would suggest getting to main menu again, then turning off multiplayer and not using dlss/dlaa for antialias and TAA instead
Oh bruh it is it
Idk why it didnt show up the first time
uuuuuuuuuuuuuh
huh
The rocks just didnt load
second download i guess?
might be verifying files/downloading cache
but why again?
maybe it didn't finish download first time around
It happens
@remote thunder Which pinned comment? Or are you saying to take it to #nms-questions since the most-recent pinned comment says this channel’s going away?
After crashes sometimes the game would verify the files
Or download some stuff again
Yay! Rendezvous 1! 🥹
this one <#nms-expedition message>
fullscreen broke
Ahh. It mentions AtlasPass v3. I just recently noticed that I can’t open v1 or v2 things anymore unless I carry all three. That comment’s from a year ago, so maybe that changed in the past 12 months?
Yeah, they work retroactively now
No, I’m saying they don’t work retroactively anymore. I could only open v3 things until I put a v1 and v2 in my inventory again.
started on tree
Just last week
They should, though. At least, they did last time I played (around voyagers)
my health
ono
Maybe it was a single-update regression nobody really noticed… I’ll try again.
hmm, haven't heard about this, i'll take a look as well
To be clear, this still hasn't dropped for Xbox console yet, correct?
not yet, no
Thanks
Just checked — I have the respawning supply lockers that require the v2 and v1 passes on my freighter and I can’t open them if I only have the v3. This could be a freighter-only problem though, I don’t have time to go look right now
So, for those who already finished the expedition: is it a quick one?
I am currently half way I would say, and I think it is quick if you get lucky, alot of them require finding smth that matches a specific thing
Given when the updates were released to the wild, I think we’re still within the window that if anyone in the general public finished it, it’s a quick one.
Well, it’s been 6 hours, I guess that’s not quick one
I have a feeling that's unintentional
less than 3h in, i only have a few milestones left
Right, I said I thought it was a regression (meaning, an old bug cropping up again, usually gets quashed as soon as someone notices it because they know how to fix it)
I suppose.
definitely missed the context tho
Hmm, I see, thank you! I shall make that sacrifice to the RNG gods then...
expedition is already out? i thought there would be a wait period
Oh, nice. Was hopeful it could be done in one session. It appears so.
Thank you!
for phase 3 milestone 4, do not randomly warp around - look at the galaxy map with the mission selected
any recommended items to take for the exp?
is there no fast travel to the centre of the space station from the corvette landing pads here?
nope
pinned
One of the last few expeditions, I didn’t realize I’d left one milestone undone so I tried to finish it last minute and it was an annoying one — fishing or something like that — and I finished it a good 10 minutes after the timer went to zero, and it was still fine letting me finish it. I wonder if I wouldn’t have had any grace time this week because a new one was coming out right away, or if it’s always fuzzy…
Is this Expedition corvette only like last time or will we have access to other ships?
I assume it's corvette only given it's centered around them again (new parts and so)
i could be wrong though
not corvette only, at least i was allowed to keep my starter ship
U are allowed to copy ur main save ship
Oh, that's good to know.
Did anyone find an anomalous floating creature to tame in rdv systems?
Wasn’t there one where you never got a ship at all — all the travel was via portal? I was almost certain I remembered that, but I don’t remember how you ended it without access to the Anomaly, you certainly didn’t have to just wait until the expedition ended so it auto-completed…
has anyone on xbox got the expedition?
And an easy derelict freighter
not yet
i gotta catch this manually?
oh, when it go live?
no idea
xbox always so slow
ok
Im finally done with the expedition
Having a heck of a time finding infested planets... I revisited every rdv system and the hint in the corner keeps telling me no infested planets in this system
Oh my god ts was ass
i just visited a bunch of random systems
Near the rdvs
Eventually found one
I think one of the rdv system has a infested planet but idk
i think rdv 3 is supposed to, but I could find an infested planet
why does the first wreckage keep fuckin launching me?
Did you turn off mp?
what does that do?
Idk a lot of players said that it works for them
do we know the "anomalous floating companion" requirements yet?
If you wanna geek out: multiplayer requires a lot of things — that can just “happen” in single player — to be done almost like a bank transaction, with journal and rollback in case you and and the other players have a delay or networking glitch that would otherwise result in two copies of something, or you thinking you took damage while the other players doesn’t see any damage, etc. Some of those things the game does regardless, but some it skips when you’re not in multiplayer. Those kind of things are often fiddly and involve things like triggers going off, so disabling MP lets the whole situation just run much more straightforwardly.
Is the new expedition it's out or not yet? I need to be ready
It is running already.
Yolo!
I might play it tomorrow because with the new update, I'm not gonna be able to because it's gonna take a while to download it, but I will for surely. I was busy painting lol
Bro how far did some of y'all have to warp to the final area because I'm pretty sure after the black hole your far away?
One would hope that expeditions with a multiplayer milestone, even an optional one, to be better prepared for, but it’s notoriously difficult to QA multiplayer issues — it’s an exponentially larger number of cases to check, and playtesting will almost never randomly come across them.
how do i get nanites quickly to trasnfer my multitool and ship?
radiant shards is one way
just going to stations and claiming the specimens is another
yee
Usually you read the datapads left lying about.
okay so it was from those
ive been going around reading them since saying that
god I love NMS
Us xbox players still waiting in the anomaly

I have a problem: I flew to Fireship Arcadia, got out of the Corvette to salvage it, and now I keep getting thrown thousands of kilometers away from the ship and have to return. Does anyone else have similar problems with being catapulted away during spacewalks?
Does anyone know how long it may take till xbox gets the update? Cuz we still dont have it
turn off multiplayer
For real? I mean, it's my first expedition so I'll try that, thanks
guys what to brin on the expedition
check pinned message
freighter done
Do I need to craft a new corvette to achieve milestone, or can edit my imported?
Turning off multiplayer for every expedition is a good idea — can’t even begin to count the number of expedition glitches that are fixed just by disabling MP.
All the space stations are derelict… where the heck do you go to build your corvette?
Especially when it gets really saturated at places like rendezvous locations with bases
Thanks guys, you know better. I just got into NMS recently so I follow your advice ❤️
The whole exedition is in an abandoned galaxy
Well, you get the base spam even with multiplayer turned off. But its more often other glitches that crop up.
I find the base spam doesn't give me issues trying to land a ship with mp off though
Maybe those are the glitches
I kinda gathered that. So where are you supposed to build your corvette?
Those are examples, sure. But I don’t think it’s the base spam causing issues, just the extra work the game has to do when you’re in multiplayer mode.
I've just always defaulted to mp off on expeditions because my main save is usually mp off on permadeath anyway
I can't stand the expeditions where you need specific planets.
I got the vile brood but not the tendrils.
Also can't find a ruined planet. I did like 10 extra jumps with no luck.
Just go in the direction of station exit. Corvette assembly is far from landing pad
I imagine someone will post coords to things like that within the next day in pinned messages, I didn't keep the ones I used, sorry
Ah. I thought they were missing from derelicts completely. Thank you!
im stuck, i cant figure out how to get chromatic metal, there is no copper listed on any of the of the planets, hwo do i leave the initial system?
Refine quartzite.
Quartize is the chromatic metal for purple systems.
AFAIK, there’s never been an expedition milestone that required you to go “fishing the Galaxy Map” — things might be easier if you get a Conflict Scanner or something and go off the beaten trail, but generally everything the milestones want are in the first system or one of the Rendezvous systems. (Not just that, but in the same system as the milestone’s rendezvous or the rendezvous/starting system immediately prior.)
Chromatic metal can be got from copper, cadmium, indium, quartzite
ty, its not listed as a mat for chormatic metal in the game
You have to discover the recipes from refiners to have them listed for you
The catalog works like that
The nms companion app is GREAT for finding alternate recipes for refiners, worth using even if it's not completely up to date
Are you kinda new? Purple systems are late game content and the expedition starts us on one.
chromatic metal shows in catalogue but shows copper, cadmium, emerial, and induim
Editing imported works for milestone
might as well be, never got real deep in the game
NMS is always becoming a game you don’t need external resources (wiki, companion or assistant apps) for, but it’s never quite there and they’re always adding things. (Well, “always” as of a couple years ago, anyway, there was a fallow period in there.)
i have just under a hundred hours, but last expediton was the first time i really played
I mean, there's a ton of weird refiner tricks I know I don't know and I just cracked 1k hours just week ago. Refiner basically needs a wiki.
I learned a lot of refiner recipes when I started filling out my catalog, it's really nice
Technically my first expedition gl guys
Like using ferrite dust, sodium and silver to make ion batteries. Takes a long time to make them but it's an option
There is an app where you can search up an item and it lists all recipes it is used in and recipes that have it as the product if there are any
!mobileapplink
I said that earlier 😁
More like the memorizing bit that messes me up. I'm aware of the tricks but I'd have to look them up.
holdup.. i just realized I will be able to get a copy of my main corvette for 2500 nanites, and then later get it back in the main save, duplicating my perfect X tier modules... major pog
I made a covette named "one of every kind" and put one of every type of corvette piece I could and then after the exped I copied and deleted them to the basics to have a corvette storage full of parts
I mentioned this earlier. Until you finalize the expedition, you can even sell the ship you paid nanites for in your main save and re-copy it for more nanites and do it again and again
On permadeath I can't switch to creative for parts without killing the permadeath setting, so it was my only option
You’re just not allowed to have two copies of the expedition ship at once
I see the confusion now.
We end up getting two Atlindum drives. One is ready to go, the other is not.
im literally right below randevous 2
anyone else getting launched to the 5th dimension when they step out of their corvette?
turn off MP
oh alr
We need a SuperPin:
EXPEDITION GLITCH? TURN OFF MULTIPLAYER AND SEE IF IT GOES AWAY.
whatever features are present in expeditions are available in the base/normal game mode, right? in this case, the salvaging, space walking, etc
ma baby is back, for only 2800 nanites while I have a bunch of maxed X modules
space walking was already there
salvaging I don't know yet
then what was new regarding it? the multi tool mining?
the components mostly
The salvaging may be expedition-only. But it’s not an easy question to answer comprehensively — most expeditions have items that would be quite useful in an ordinary game, and sometimes you can transfer them over via the Expeditions Terminal even if you can’t craft or procure them in the regular game, usually not.
welcome back mah baby, thanks for donating yourself for free components later
I can't play until I get home from work. Could the rest of you do me favor and wait for me? 
Does anyone know if visiting all the moons in the spawn system work for the mission that requires you to go the moons of a gas giant, or does the planet they orbit actually have to be a gas giant?
has to be an actual gas giant
love having my regular corvette back with it's stupid stats
just need to go install some of the those infra knife weapons to see how busted I can make the already stupid(42k non-shield, 28k shielded with 2 supercharge slot) damage
Does infra knife let you mine resources on the ground?
like a GLOVE
which worlds count as relic worlds?
after finding a lost corvette, scanning the suroundings, breaking the two components... what should I do next? the milestone ain't completing
hello to all . i have a question , i've never done a expedition before when i start up mine should i empty my corvettes cargo and stash it? or will it delete my cargo if i leave it in there and start an expedition?
Anyone know how can i get another submarine
i meant as new mechanics and such, not items, tech, etc
when you start an expedition from your main save, it just creates essentially a sub-save and has no relation to your main one
It’s never clear unless you read the release notes or update blogpost and they mention it
awesome thank you very much
ok how do i stop getting flung around when i spacewalk? i literally can't reach the arcadia
same for me
it's really annoying, I Alt-F4-ed the game for it
Yeah same xD I happened to somehow do it once and now I can't replicate the success
@worn stirrup Are you playing with friends? or MP on?
it's just annoying bc every time i relog to fix it, i have to make a new debris finder
mp on
ok imma try tomorrow with MP off, if that doesn't work, imma wait for a hotfix
I already have scraped the 2 components on the lost corvettes, but this ain't going away
Gah.
find shiplog
floating between the 2 halves
Is anyone else having the bug where corvette wreckages seem to have some kind of field that sends your character flying away?
What are the essentials you guys like to bring into your expeditions?
Ah, that moment when you put the basic corvette together and accidentally replace your first ship instead of adding to the list.
