[indigo falcon]

also I hope you are looting all the boxes in the room with the teleporter. they can have good things. even the crap upgrades could be installed and dismantled for materials (incl wiring looms :-P)

[shy mortar]

Wait you can do that

[indigo falcon]

yeah sure can

[vernal sluice]

So if I keep me corvette from the expedition will all the inventory I have in also come through with it?

[indigo falcon]

no, the tech stays but the cargo does not 🙂

[queen viper]

every station is like this in expedition?

where i can sell items like storm crystals?

[shy mortar]

You can sell them I’m there, I didn’t know that until like 10 mins ago

[indigo falcon]

all these stations have trade terminals. walk all the way to the back,, take the ramp on the right.

[heady pilot]

This expedition is in abandoned mode. That means the entire universe is dead...there are no NPCs or sentient aliens to be found anywhere. All space stations are falling apart.

[indigo falcon]

wow the landing of corvettes when you tp to your base is even worse with the latest patch, if that were possible.... grrrrr

[queen viper]

ok tY

[queen viper]

thx

[foggy valley]

can I use an older save from some other expedition as my new ''main save'' without any negative consequences, like missing some core content from somewhere

[indigo falcon]

you can play any save you like, and start from any of them too, sure

[foggy valley]

great, since I started the new exp on a new account without realizing how to transfer stuff, I've gotta do it one more time on my other save

[indigo falcon]

people do it all the time, make that mistake, or just play through multiple times for the fun of it

[jagged sedge]

Do you happen to know if this expedition will turn into a 'normal mode' save when it ends?

[quaint goblet]

Where can i find infested world for the tendrils mission🤔

[indigo falcon]

if you started the expedition from a new save, then yes, it will turn into a normal mode save at the end

[jagged sedge]

And if I entered it from an existing save, will it revert to the original type?

[indigo falcon]

if you entered from an existing save, the expd version of te save simply goes away. yo uare left with the original save, and can pick up any items you left in the transfer slots at the anomaly terminal, etc

[jagged sedge]

So, I'm asking cuz I entered from my 'abandoned mode' save

[queen viper]

if i go into black hole whatr happened next will i be far away from expedition route ?

[indigo falcon]

the abandoned mode save will remain as is and be the only save, i.e. the expd version will go away onceyou've selected 'en expedition' etc at the anomaly terminal

[pastel bough]

hello, is it possible a moon of a gas giant without poi to chart the planet?

[indigo falcon]

deepnds which black hol eyou used, if you went from the r4 system one, it should drop you right into r5. otherwise, go to r4 via space station teleporter, r5 is like 2 jumps away

[jagged sedge]

I see, I usually go into expeditions as a new file

[queen viper]

im in rnd 4 rn

[foggy valley]

did always the same, and found out today it was a big mistake

[indigo falcon]

just land and leave. or really, get low to the ground, stand up in corvette chair, and leave, that's good enough

[queen viper]

i need to spacewalk there cant fly ?

with ship

[jagged sedge]

I'm actually looking forward to having the wreckage trackers available to build, lol

[pastel bough]

really? before i land it was 3/5 moon chart and after landing im still at 3/5

[indigo falcon]

yes, spacewalk through the black hole. fly close bt not so close you get pulled in.

[indigo falcon]

really...

[queen viper]

go to discoveries and mark moon which u didnt visit yet, visited moons cant be marked

[foggy valley]

exactly this, now I need to do the whole expediton again to be able to have them on my new main save lol

[pastel bough]

ah thats why thx

thx apergos too!

[jagged sedge]

Good plan

[heavy ivy]

What do I need in order to catch the spawn of arcadia?

[queen viper]

u mean, if i have 1 save do i need to craft them a lot before ending expedition?

[foggy valley]

kind of, it was a little bit waste of time, but this run I at least know what to do

[queen viper]

and then transport them via nexus ?

afdter finishing exp.

[foggy valley]

this, or just buy them at a trading station, and transfer as much as you can

[queen viper]

ok

[indigo falcon]

a planet with water and a fishing rig. shallo water works, any water planet works, no bait needed, but you must have the milestone selected.

[jagged sedge]

Speaking of, I just finished setting up an oxy farm at rndv 3, called 'Oxy outpost' ... the trade terminal here has all 3 parts to build the trackers, so all are welcome to drop buy [:)]

[heavy ivy]

Alrighty

[unkempt rover]

Is "shipbreaking" broken or am i just doing it wrong

[queen viper]

i only saw emergency scanner on space stations to buy

[indigo falcon]

did you collect the tiny little log piece?

[unkempt rover]

only just now... im alittle blind

thanks for the help though :3

[indigo falcon]

that's the piece that completes the mission. you should loot the other two pieces because they give nice corvette parts, but it's not required

[tall grail]

how am i supposed to find the flying fauna for the 5 quest ?

[queen viper]

lol

i need to clean my cockpit

[foggy valley]

hmm, on the exp 20 they should be available later on

[vague iris]

Anyone know where on outiati IV i can do the descent milestone?

[queen viper]

if i lost black hole to find it afgain i need to warp back in system?

[indigo falcon]

you can enter first person and look at the nav diplay, it's a sort of purple circle/spiral thing on there

warp out/in will place you near it though

[queen viper]

what u mean 1sr perdon

person

`leave ship?

[wraith junco]

Check if players made bases near good spot

[indigo falcon]

no. enter first person mode while flying the ship

[wraith junco]

They usualy do

[indigo falcon]

chekc the nav display at the bottom with the planets and such

[queen viper]

i dont have any icons

only space station

[vague iris]

Can't see any base at all

[queen viper]

oh on navigation screen ive got i think

[indigo falcon]

yes.

[plucky bay]

this feels so good

[vague iris]

What was the coordinates bud?
I can't find a spot lower the 700u

[plucky bay]

me too

hold on

[queen viper]

i dont see any black hole tho

[plucky bay]

this took ages

[indigo falcon]

keep going, pulse some

[plucky bay]

here

im surfacing now but

[queen viper]

i did and nothing man

[vague iris]

Absolute legend, thanks

Been hunting for like 3 hrs xD

[plucky bay]

yeah this was a pain to find lol

[indigo falcon]

if you get tired of it, warp out and back in I guess

[plucky bay]

no interesting faune

*fauna

[queen viper]

ok i got it damnm

😄

i saw little tiny donut in horizont

[indigo falcon]

yay

keep going!

[queen viper]

how close can i get with my ship?

[indigo falcon]

a lot closer

[queen viper]

spaghettification

whats thois planet icon?

[indigo falcon]

marked planet I guess.

[queen viper]

oh right XD

this is not floating compaino?:

[indigo falcon]

no, it's a normal type creature

[queen viper]

it floats for me

oh ok

[indigo falcon]

you want the special anomalous ones

[queen viper]

looks very normal

lol

[indigo falcon]

you can get it on any run-of-the-mill world 😛

[tired trout]

is there one in the last system?

[queen viper]

yes

[tired trout]

which planet?

[indigo falcon]

yes, please check the pins in here for that

[queen viper]

here

[tired trout]

ty

[fickle compass]

What specific planet in Nasuda-Wase is best for anomalous floating creatures?

[tired trout]

legit that was the only planet i hadnt checked 💀

[queen viper]

i postred screenshot Gashi

[fickle compass]

Ok

[novel terrace]

where's the black hole in R4? does it disappear if you got MP warped previously?

[queen viper]

purple icon on your cockpit navigation in ship

get it on horizon line and fly to it

i mean fly till u be next to it and use spacewalk

[reef valve]

not sure what is happening but all the planets in the system it sent me to for the find a weird animal have zero life on them at all.

[chilly parrot]

How to find the hungering tendrils?

[novel terrace]

Is there a way to make ancient bones tags reappear on a planet after you landed on it with the bones quest active? (Since I just want to grab them instead of having to use the extremely annoying mission target whatever)

[heavy merlin]

I didn’t get credit for debris field or assembling a corvette

[eternal cairn]

is the "derelict corvette finder" going to be available in my main save?

[whole seal]

What is the name of the Timestamp IV system?

I need to get back there

[plucky bay]

Wow how convenient

[short patio]

Are all the space stations in the expeditions those goofy ahhh empty ones?

[plucky bay]

wow

[queen viper]

can i destrouy those? my eq is full

[queen viper]

thats megalitan

[plucky bay]

?

Wdym

[queen viper]

Megalithic* 😄

like those ancient buildings in Peru

[knotty sequoia]

I made a poor decision and left the system I was in that had a "doomed" world, and now my last two missions in Phase 3 are "Tendrils" and "Metamorphosis"

[faint mesa]

Not able to teleport back?

[knotty sequoia]

I am currently at Rendezvous 4

I don't know what system it was

[plucky bay]

Oh

Lol

[faint mesa]

#nms-expedition message
Check "Timestamp III", the rendezvous planet -- I think you can take care of Tendrils there

[remote thunder]

^ and ignore what the milestone tooltip lower right of the screen says, when it says that there's no infested planets found in the system

[knotty sequoia]

Thanks!

Wait, it doesn't tell me what system that's in

I'm in the same system as Timestamp 4

I'm checking systems I've been in

[remote thunder]

sure it does:

[knotty sequoia]

What menu is that?

[remote thunder]

@knotty sequoia remember that if you interact with a teleporter, and you see the space station ones, underneath their names, if it's a rendezvous system, it will say so, and what number it is

[remote thunder]

that is in the post that Gabriel linked you to above in this post <#nms-expedition message>

[knotty sequoia]

Hokay! Sorry, and thank you!

[remote thunder]

np, anything else just ask

[wanton raft]

I hear the expedition time just got shortened and yet I can't even play the expedition on my PS4 yet.

[faint mesa]

What's the issue?

[remote thunder]

ps4 should be on 6.12 and able to play yeah

[wanton raft]

That must have happened today then. I had recieved no update as of last night.

[remote thunder]

yep

[limpid egret]

holy

i found haunted emeril planet

in the expedition

the fauna there is extremely cool

[wanton raft]

Hello Games is so awesome! The rest of the gaming world is melting down and HG shortening the duration of one release just to fit in the next one!

[round stone]

where can i find people to play with

[sly badge]

nice

[remote thunder]

welcome, try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades 🙂

[wanton raft]

Are HG servers having problems or is it PS network?

[remote thunder]

probably just certification process stuff, but i dont know

[wanton raft]

I'm not familiar with that process.

[remote thunder]

it's like this i think: a developer sends an update to a console manufacturer e.g. sony. sony has their own test teams, which play test the update for a few hours to see if it's totally broken or not, if it has issues or something. once that testing team gives it the go ahead, sony starts deploying the updates to the consoles connected.

[solemn bane]

And if it's Nintendo they put it on a shelf that says "check this in a week or a month or something"

[remote thunder]

poor switchers 🙁

[indigo falcon]

it seems like switch 1 and ps4 players are being left behind this time, and that's a huge bummer

[faint mesa]

PS4 got the latest patch today -- for a moment it was ahead of PS5, which reminded me of The Office's quote: how the turntables...

[wanton raft]

Ah, that certification.

Every new update that PS4 players get is a gift. Was thinking of upgrading my PS4 with a cheap SSD, but as soon as I do that support for it will completely go away.

[finite owl]

[unkempt kraken]

Expedition 20 - Breach ends <t:1762470000> (approx. <t:1762470000:R>)

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

[valid roost]

So question about the debris rangefinder, is it only exclusive to the expedition or would you be able to craft it on your normal save?

[lucid hamlet]

This is my first expedition and I was told to save up some nanites for my multitool and ship. Thing is they forgot to say that it should be items that can be refined to nanites. So now I gotta ask, what's the fastest way to get nanites in the expedition?

[valid roost]

Runaway mould or killing sentinels for forbidden tech I'd imagine

Either that or best bet is to scan a bunch of stuff and sell the data to helios and ares at the anomaly

[lucid hamlet]

Oh and uploading the data in discoveries tab

[indigo falcon]

you don't have any npcs to sell modules to, not even at the anomaly

[remote thunder]

debris rangefinder blueprint is exclusive to exp20 or exp20->converted to normal saves. could bring some back via expedition terminus if you started expedition from existing save

[valid roost]

So i only just got to the anomaly and found this out now

My fault for the misinfo though, honest mistake

[valid roost]

So like the elixirs from cursed?

Honestly a shame they arent integrated in the base game, would be rlly cool to scan for ship graveyards

[indigo falcon]

scan all critters on some 'easy" planets, the starter world has 5 I think and is good for that. fish and release, once you have the fishing rig. larval cores refine to nanites, and there are eggs everywhere in the expedition. and the usual damached machinery, and etc that give 30-40 nanites here and there. Oh als every single abandoned building, go in and interact with the terminal, that's another 120 nanites. it does add up while you're waiting to find runaway mould someplace

you get given most upgrades and such that you'll need during the expedition from milestones...

[lucid hamlet]

I may have accidently dismantled the Humboldt drive for the Nautilus at one point... I was tired and not really thinking

[spice locust]

Did the expedition timeframe get cut short? It released on Oct 22, right? Says it's only got 8 days left but I thought it was going for 3. weeks. So either the game is off or my math isn't mathing and I'm missing some time. lol

[indigo falcon]

it recently got shortened to end on Nov 6, it's not you

speculation is that another 2 week expd will kick off right after, but we won't know until it happens

if it happens

[wanton raft]

Saw a youtuber which was sure (because of a source) we are getting another exp right after. They're always right and never lie! 😉

[remote thunder]

the starter world has 5 I think and is good for that
can confirm; also, beetles

[indigo falcon]

I hope the systems we went to in the expd remain purple, in normal mode

I haven't gone to any to check

i plopped a few bases down as placeholders, it would be a shame if they were just in boring systems with normal fauna afterwards

[solemn bane]

They do. It's preventing people from going to bases they made.

[indigo falcon]

oh no heck

that is a bug. period

[solemn bane]

Well, they don't have purple systems unlocked, so 🤷‍♂️

[indigo falcon]

and they went on this expedition and placed bases, so 🤷‍♂️

them's the rules: you got a base, it's yours, you can visit it.

[solemn bane]

I give equal odds to HG either thinking of this and making the decision, or not thinking of this

[remote thunder]

that i've seen they do - they had no problem making them uncharted - or abandoned, depending on pov

[indigo falcon]

and so if I copy my corvette with its atlantid drive, do I get to visit purple systems in it r ... it just doesn't function? eh? eh??

glares in hg's direction

[remote thunder]

galaxy map: "go install atlantid drive"

[solemn bane]

Well, you can visit blue systems, lol

But no, you need purple systems unlocked. It's a flag in your save file.

[indigo falcon]

did I do the atlas path on this save? no

did I complete the atermis path? no, I bailed right at the beginning of 16/16

[remote thunder]

abandoned mode ftw

[indigo falcon]

do I really feellike I oughta hav eto, having done them on several saves? NO

[indigo falcon]

good point

[solemn bane]

Could save hack, or start a new save on this expedition.

[indigo falcon]

can't save hack. ps5

and I am trying to be good about save slots, no new saves

[remote thunder]

lol!

i was just looking at my own saves and going like, yeah, i need to start keeping myself in check

[indigo falcon]

I nearly ran out of slots before they made it so you could start an expd from an existing save

anyways my claim is: you went on the expd, you got to see these systems and build bases, you should be able togo to those bases, even if no other purple systems. and I'll die on that hill thank you very much

[faint mesa]

I did run out of slots. 🥲
I always say "next expedition I'll start from the terminal", but when the time comes...

[indigo falcon]

well I always say "next expediition I'llpack some stuff to take", but when the time comes...

just too much effort

[faint mesa]

lol. If I ever use the terminal, I'll probably just go clean.

I'm too used to it at this point

[knotty sequoia]

How close do I go to the blackhole?

[solemn bane]

kiss it

[indigo falcon]

pretty close, I had it filling most of the screen but also I went pretty slow when I got near it in the ship, so I could stop at a moment's notice and go spacewalk

[faint mesa]

The warp animation started quite unexpectedly for me; was scared of taking it with the ship instead of space walking, so parked it at a "safe" distance and just jetpacked my way there

[remote thunder]

"this little maneuver is gonna cost us 51 years"

[magic owl]

Is the expedition/game broken right now? I am seeing no one. I am also seeing zero fauna on all the planets.

I have multiplayer enabled. PC, all files validated

[remote thunder]

there was fauna in plenty of planets in expedition. i'd try to restart game

[faint mesa]

Hans Zimmer in the background for full immersion.

[indigo falcon]

plus also turn off multiplayer now, it's the source of a number of issues

[magic owl]

Yeah they all say they SHOULD, but nothing is loading in anywhere. Never seen this happen before lol

[knotty sequoia]

I fell in! Without my ship!

[limpid egret]

how can i do the anomalous pet thing

[knotty sequoia]

I SEE

I still got the reward

The next rendezvous was on the other side of the event horizon

[knotty sequoia]

I think it's on a dissonant planet

You get some creature bait as another reward; you can throw it by going into the creature options in your menu

[finite owl]

How hard is the expedition compared to last?

[faint mesa]

About same difficulty I felt

[solemn bane]

I would imagine much easier for the average player. This one doesn't require you to fight corrupted sentinels and doesn't have the aggressive sentinels flag turned on. Just a shitload of collection quests, and more bugs when you have multiplayer on.

[knotty sequoia]

I have multiplayer turned on, and have yet to see another person

Or signs of them

[solemn bane]

You won't. Best to turn it off.

[indigo falcon]

please, save yourself some headaches and turn off multiplayer in the expedition

save us typing to you about one of the known bugs too.......

[indigo falcon]

I didn't find the aggro setinels an issue, you could avoid them everywhere. the corrupted sentinels were a tiny nuisance but they weren't "go kill X number of quads" after all

[solemn bane]

I probably don't count you as the average player.

[indigo falcon]

oh. as to combat, I am below the average player, I am very combat averse...

[tender tusk]

I didn't have a problem with the aggressive sentinels in 19 because i know the tactics to get away and i felt overall 19 was easier or fine as a newer player.

I feel this is harder a little because it's probably the closest approximation to Abandoned mode and people are not used to having to find different methods for getting resources like nanites etc

[indigo falcon]

I loved adrift, it was sooo good. so this felt like a tiny little continuation of it, with less of the surprise factor

[solemn bane]

For example, I got the sentinel shutdown milestone before reaching my ship, and I didn't even know it was a milestone at the time. I am not average, lol.

[indigo falcon]

oh. yeah what did I do for that, I gota sentinel boundary map out of something, salv scrap, that's what it was. wound up with a few maps in fact

see, combat averse 😛

[solemn bane]

Alls I want is some real combat. At this point I almost feel bad for the sentinels.

[indigo falcon]

they have plenty of less combat-ready players like me around to bother, don't worry about that

and they also have that "hide the last one under the ground" trick they do from time to time

[vapid heron]

thats quite annoyign when its the final walker

[solemn bane]

lol, love it when they go so far underground they are under the part you can't mine.

Mostly because it reminds me how literally shallow this game is.

I wanna mine to the core. Give me that expedition.

[indigo falcon]

well we all have run into the buried item that can't be mined because it's under a cave floor

[vapid heron]

yesterday, i had one stuck, so excavated a little with the terrain manipulator and had at it, expected it to free itself but no... so free kill XD

[indigo falcon]

oh or under the ocean bed, that's another popular bug

[vapid heron]

not come across that one thankfully, but then sentinels and ocean isnt a combination that ive had to deal with yet

[indigo falcon]

today however... I hovered my corvette over a shelter, ran over to grab a couple buried tech, uncovered them, and it would just not give me the prompt. stood below the things, above them, on the side, no good. couldn't get either one

[vapid heron]

i've had that at the camps with the paired shelters

[indigo falcon]

annoying isn't it

[vapid heron]

yes

i've found the "hitbox" to collect them for some of the more open world ones off off too

[indigo falcon]

oh sure. where you have to move around to get the interaction prompt to come up

which is what I expected today but nope. just nothin

[vapid heron]

the camp ones are complete write-offs, i dont bother for the time being

[errant shuttle]

anyone having to backtrack to get more cooper is that just because i suck at planning

[solemn bane]

Quirtzite will refine to chromatic metal

[indigo falcon]

I dug up two deposits on the starter world and that game me a whole heck of a lot, still have plenty left (also I mined on the smallest radius of the terrain manipulator)

[floral dust]

I just finished the expedition, pretty fun 🙂

Just a tip when mining, reduce the size (R on keyboard) and you get more out of a deposit.

Have fun peeps 🙂

[faint mesa]

Quartzite refines into chromatic metal on a very generous rate -- I don't remember copper giving me those numbers

[signal night]

Can I get rid of these logs I get from the wrecked ships during the expedition?

[indigo falcon]

sure, they are just souvenirs

[signal night]

Awesome thank you

[errant shuttle]

thanks i will jave to get quartize on my next phase

[limpid egret]

How do I get back to my corvette if its parked far off the derelict freighter/ship if you cant use the jetpack?

[solemn bane]

There's a teleporter near the entrance

[indigo falcon]

it should have left a beam up spot for you.

looks like a short range teleporter, that thing

(and the icon should be visible in the hud I guess)

[vapid heron]

you could try summoning it

[solemn bane]

nope

[vapid heron]

i missed that he was in a derelict

[limpid egret]

i found it

[indigo falcon]

for future reference, when it is "landed" youcan still use the beam down button, then note where you got put when you head towards the derelict entrance.

[fervent umbra]

Kinda strange that there was no real announcement that the expedition was ending sooner than expected

At least not that I saw

[indigo falcon]

nope, didn't see any notice at all, you're just expected to see it on the expedition load screen where it shows the time remaining

a week and a couple days to go

if they really shoehorn in another expedition, I hope it's easy (so that people can complete it in the two week time frame without a lot of stress)

[stone lotus]

can you catch siren of the deep more than once after completing the expedition goal?

[indigo falcon]

bearing in mind that many players can only spend time on the weekend, have families and job responsibilities and etc

[indigo falcon]

I have not tried it. you could test that out if you like. I believe it is only catchable in the expedition fwiw

[solemn bane]

I assume it's just gonna be the start of the reduxes

[stone lotus]

okay

[indigo falcon]

it would make more sense that way, 4 expds for the year, maybe toss in an older one in the reduxes

[solemn bane]

I think Corvette pushed them waaaay back. A re-redux seems unlikely. They should have done one before Corvette but I bet they didn't think it would take as long as it did.

[knotty sequoia]

Can I take anything from my expedition save back to my primary save?

[solemn bane]

Pretty much everything

[knotty sequoia]

How do I do that?

I'm at the terminal

[solemn bane]

Put stuff in

[limpid egret]

btw, how do i find a system that might have the infested tendrils?

[knotty sequoia]

The item slots are greyed out

[solemn bane]

Tendrils/Metamorphosis: Rendezvous 3 system, Kobaya-Odgo XIV, planet Giumf VII

[solemn bane]

Finish all the milestones and collect all the rewards

[knotty sequoia]

Ah, that's my problem. I've completed everything, but don't have enough space in my inventory

[indigo falcon]

shove some stuff in the ship

[knotty sequoia]

The ship is also full

I am working on that right now

[solemn bane]

Storage containers

[indigo falcon]

make a storage container on the ship 😛 OR... if you didn't scrap the starter ship, swap to that and shove stuff in there, then swap back 😛

[knotty sequoia]

I forgot about that one!

[indigo falcon]

lol

you're talking to the loot goblin of loot goblins here.

suit, corvette, starter ship, storage on the corvette, nautilon storage,corvette nutrient processor storage...

gotta use 'em all!

[oblique wadi]

anyone try fighting a capital ship during expedition?

I picked a fight with the sentinels until capital ship came. It's invisible. lol

[indigo falcon]

sentinel dreadnaught?

lol

nah, I'm not big on fights unless the game wants me to do it

[oblique wadi]

yeah. It's 100% invisible. I can see it's health bar, but it can't be seen or hit. I'm taking off. I took out all the ships accompanying it

[indigo falcon]

time to go. the anomaly is there for a reason

[oblique wadi]

I managed to bring my corvette in by spending the 2800 nanites, so was itching for a fight

back to finishing it up I guess

[indigo falcon]

it's amazing how fast one can get close to that 100 part limit it turns out

[oblique wadi]

oh yeah. I wish they'd up that

[knotty sequoia]

Can I bring my companion back with me if I am about to finish the expedition?

[indigo falcon]

no, place a base so you can go back there in normal mode

[knotty sequoia]

It's... toonlate

*too late

[vapid heron]

check the pins for planet/system co-ords

one of them will get you close

[indigo falcon]

you can note the glyphs I guess. (but note, it's in a purple star system so you may need to unlock those to get to it)

[knotty sequoia]

I will do that

I need to get a new companion slot

[covert creek]

hi, i need help for this expedition

[flint bridge]

im stumped... So i install the atlantid drive. Fresh save. No prep items brought over. How do I get it fixed? Like where do i get an advanced mining laser? How do I get Indium? Do I have to get all the other drives first?

[covert creek]

i have version 6.10, but i dont have the expedition in game, dont understand

[flint bridge]

expedition terminal on the anomoly

by the quiksilver station

[covert creek]

no, only expedition 19

[light plume]

you should have received a pre-packaged atlantid drive module as a reward. remove the one you partially installed and install the packaged module

[vapid heron]

you can find indium in buried caches, but it might take some time

[flint bridge]

oh? ok

[flint bridge]

hmm i dont see one... uh ohh. i might have deleted it to save space because i notice i had one already....

so.... new save i guess

[indigo falcon]

you should install the atlantid drive you get from a milestone, if you brought oneand partially installed it you will want to uninstall that one, it won't work

for the hyperdrive you must build, yes, gather the materials, it's some chrom metal and a couple other things

[flint bridge]

i did the hyperdrive... whats the milestone with the atlantid replacement??

oh i see it

[indigo falcon]

as soon as you warp to a new system you get the drive

[flint bridge]

warping

ok

[indigo falcon]

btw there is a list of all milestones and rewards pinned in a post here in this channel, also someuseful tips, might be worth looknig at once you've got this sorted out

[flint bridge]

i might have discarded it from my exosuit for space from mining it... fml

i cant claim the warp milestone again. and i dont have the prepackaged

ugh

[indigo falcon]

and you likely don't have the bueprint for it either (do you? check... maybe they give it to you without telling you)

[flint bridge]

i have thee indium drive blue print, but it doesnt come prefilled

or atlantid i mean

[indigo falcon]

if you can build a corvette, that will have one. but I think you need the previous phase 1 milestones to make that hapen, includnig getting to the first rend. point

[flint bridge]

so... i think i have to check buried caches and do it the long way, or start frsh save and claim the rewards on the other save once i finish the expedition

[indigo falcon]

well so you can sometimes get emeril or even indium from buried cached

but if you don't want to go that route, then qurtzite --> chrom metal, build that drive (might have to buy blueprints... ugh can't buy them from anomaly until after you wrp a second time)

[flint bridge]

ok. i try cache hunting for a bit

8 days til its over

[indigo falcon]

then cadmium -> emeril drive, then emeril -> indum drive... tedious

[flint bridge]

yea

very

[indigo falcon]

check if you have the bluleprints for the lower level drives.. do you?

if you find indium from a buried cache, you can multiply it with chrom metal (which you can get from qurtzie refining ) to get enough to build the drive

[flint bridge]

yea i just need the atlantid element which is indium. so i can do cache hunting. then the living glass i saw comes from nanite recipes

and no. no lower level drive schematics. so. that sucks since all stations are abandoned

[indigo falcon]

yo uwould get them at the anomaly but it's either 2 warps or get to r1, I should check if that's a purple system or not

if it's not then I will suggest you just continue to r1, do the next few milestones which include building a corvette, and then you will have the drive free in that ship

lemme check now

[red lily]

So I was doing the derelict freighter step and I got randomly thrown into the black hole animation? Like, I'm inside the freighter fighting the little scurrying horrors and next thing I know, BOOM black hole screen. Then I get tossed into space in the same system I was in.

How can I get back to that derelict to continue what I was doing?

[indigo falcon]

ugh it's purlpe, so that strategy won't work...

[indigo falcon]

turn off multiplayer, save-exit-reload

this is a known bug with mp on the expedition 🙁

you can't get back to that derelict. bu they sell mergency scanners for 1.3 million at every space station trade terminal

if you need a way to make money, check your discoveries tab for the least obnoxious planet with salvaged scrap, dig up and sell some corvette parts...

[red lily]

That's wild, but thanks for the tip. Bought a new scanner, will try again probably tomorrow night.

[vapid heron]

i#ve never paid for a scanner to get the derelicts, they always show up while i;'m pulsing around systems

[indigo falcon]

in the expedition I had mp off because, well, Sony demands a PsPlus subscription for multiplayer. and also I got a spare emergency scanner from some drop or other, so I was all set

[red lily]

I only ever get the traders 🙁

[vapid heron]

this expedition, i did the derelict before i even got to the first station XD

[indigo falcon]

lolol

how was that one, still full o' bugs?

[vapid heron]

nope, smooth sailing

first bug was at the first corvette salvage

[indigo falcon]

nice, the r3 (I think it was) one was bugs bugs and more bugs, ick

uh... I mean the buggy bug "don't move fast" bugs 😄

the creepy crawlies that spit at you or whatever they do

[vapid heron]

oh, yeah i murdered hundred of those, almost thought i would run out of ammo.. but i got through, took longer than usual becaues of it

[indigo falcon]

I actally had to tp back to the front to get rid ofa batch. but when I went back in it was ok. somehow I had missed a side room with the dang log so that was a nuisance

[vapid heron]

lucky there was plenty of ammo for picking up

[indigo falcon]

I don't think I salvaged a single thing in there, except the three itesms we were required to get. and they are now sitting in a container in my ship too...

[vapid heron]

i left with my inventory bulging and a nice part part for my freighter in my regular save, worth it

[indigo falcon]

my regular save is end game enough thatI don't care about freighter parts whatsoever

it did feel weird not to loot all the things, but I didn't need them for anything, so... shrug

I am a loot goblin but even loot gobllins have limits

[vapid heron]

lies!

no, no limits on looting, it just doesnt happen

[indigo falcon]

I have two containers on the corvette plus nutrient processing unit plus stuf fin the starter ship too, if I had looted a pile of crap from the freighter, I would need a 3rd container 😛

(not even counting all the crap I sold off of course)

[vapid heron]

i emptied my inventory to the spaceship before i went in specifically with teh intention of looting

[indigo falcon]

as we all do

[vapid heron]

like i said it was literally the first thing i did when i got into space

[indigo falcon]

heh

so the goods were useful for selling if nothing else, fair enough

[naive mason]

Anyone doing the expedition breach?? Need help with timestamp 1, need indium and living glass. Currently in the anomaly

[vapid heron]

indium can be found in buried caches...

[indigo falcon]

you should have been given a prepackaed atlandid drive from the milestone to warp first time

did that not show up? or did you not claim it?

[naive mason]

Somehow I didn’t get now I’m stuck looking for indium and living glass

[indigo falcon]

does it say you collected the rewards for that milestone?

[naive mason]

All previous rewards was collected

[indigo falcon]

it's Between the Stars - Warp to a new system

not in your ship or your suit anywhere?

the suit has some slots way at the bottom of the page that are open, not vsible until you scroll, at least that's how my suit layout was

[vapid heron]

3 slots

[naive mason]

Do the glitch to duplicate, got all the opened lots

Got everything except indium and can’t get it since can’t travel to blue stars 😂

[indigo falcon]

can get it

you would need to buy the blueprints from the anomaly, which unlocks at ... well the second warp. we hope

typically the second warp is r1

but you can't go to r1 because that'sa purple star system

anyways chrom metal -> cadmium drive, cadmium -> emeril drive blah blah, you know the drill, could be done if necessary

but being lucky with a buried cache might be faster

[feral sequoia]

Okay so I just started the expedition...

and as far as I can tell there's no metal in the starting system with which to build a hyperdrive?

am I meant to get a sentinel ship? i see a dissnonant planet

[indigo falcon]

quartzite is your stellar metal in these newfangled purple systems

refine that to chrom metal

[feral sequoia]

oh :P

I was about to go for the sentinel ship lol

that would take a while given I do not remember how to play this game

[indigo falcon]

well in this expd you cannot claim any other ship

so that would be a problem...

[feral sequoia]

aw

[indigo falcon]

or rather; you can claim but not use!

(this is primarily a corvette-based expd)

[feral sequoia]

I don't know anything about corvettes

I think the last time I played was the expetdition with the flying saucer ship reward

[indigo falcon]

you'll learn 🙂

the boundary herald

I forget which expd that was

so lots of stuff in this will be new to you: relics, the new ancient bones mechanic, gas giants, water worlds... lots of things

[dry robin]

Having a rough time finding abandoned buildings. What to look for?

[feral sequoia]

Yeah I love the look of that ship

I gave it sentinel ship parts so it can run on resonant crystals but I have no memory on how. I can't move them around either

[indigo falcon]

wait and see what's coming up next 🙂 youre gonna love it

[feral sequoia]

cool

I know the corvette is supposed to be a more customizable ship

[indigo falcon]

I don't want to spoil it. but ... I'm excited for you 🙂

[feral sequoia]

I hope it lets us use sentinel parts more on other ships. I like being able to hover without moving and run entirely on purple crystals XD

[whole seal]

odd

[indigo falcon]

well you got the drop, I guess that's what counts

[hazy sparrow]

Anyone else stuck trying to find a floating companion for "Friends in Odd Places"? It's got me ping-ponging between systems Hijonak and Kobaya-Odgo with neither one lighting up a target planet nor having a planet named Totsef III like named in the guide? Any tips?

[vapid heron]

looks like the surface it just settling, on my exped i experienced some crazy wave heights that dropped me in a similar fashion

[indigo falcon]

get to r5, Nasuda-Wase, then try planet Gashi 69/B4

that's got 'em

@hazy sparrow ^^

[prisma tundra]

I have proven part of these tips wrong! I just warped once, and I have access to the anomaly already, it's always after first warp!

[indigo falcon]

it's not been after first warp for many players

it's possible this was changed in today's patch, but I don't have an easy way to test that

[hazy sparrow]

I was able to summon my regular ship from the anomaly, and ship consoles on stations are giving me the option to scrap corvettes. Is that new?
Edit: to be fair, the scrap option appeared for my corvette, but I did not try to actually do it, so I can't say if it's enabled or not.

[indigo falcon]

to scrap them? really??? that IS new

when you say your regular ship, do you mean the expd starter ship or something else?

[hazy sparrow]

I mean the ship I was in (my Starborn Runner) when I started the expedition from the anomaly console.

[indigo falcon]

oh!! yeah that is new afaik. huh

some stealth changes in the patch then

aand uh... you can use it, nothing broken? behaves properly?

[hazy sparrow]

Yep, I've been doing the majority of the expedition with it since it's so tricked out. I only use the expedition corvette for the derelict runs. I just had to mould up the additional 2800 nanites to get to it.

[indigo falcon]

sweet

I used the heck out of the corvette, nice to hover, beam down, grab something-or-other, beam back up

[solemn bane]

Portable storage containers, "survey" planets from atmosphere, scan without landing. Regular ships are useless to me now.

Free tech slots, lol.

[indigo falcon]

well there is still the issu eof crap parking 😛

[honest moon]

anyone at breach atm that can throw me some indium? im stuck af

[solemn bane]

Remember to log out in your ship.

[indigo falcon]

too chicken for that!

[solemn bane]

You probably have a packaged Atlantid drive in your inventory

[hazy sparrow]

Oh btw there are very cool looking sentinel ships on Riryl XVIII in the Konamis system at Rendezvous 2. Four feet insect hauler!

[indigo falcon]

buried caches may have it .... did you not get the prepackaged atlantid drive after first warp?

[honest moon]

saw something about that, but im not sure if i deleted it.. so not sure how to keep going into that

[honest moon]

so buried caches might be then? so i can move on :/

im 90% i got rid of it, out of a raging "full inventory" moment

[solemn bane]

Is this a brand new save or did you start from an existing save?

[indigo falcon]

it's a low chance drop but yo ucan get it.

[honest moon]

started from my main game

soo begging for indium / living glass wont be the solution? just in case looking for buried caches is the easiest way

[solemn bane]

Aight, well they gave us research stations. Use those to learn the Cadmium, Emeril and Indium drives.

Oh and living glass, lol.

(Build a base)

[honest moon]

will def do that

[indigo falcon]

I forgot about those research stations, that's new in today's patch

[solemn bane]

I guess that explains why they gave use the research stations, heh

[hazy sparrow]

Easier to just restart the expedition if you are that close to the beginning?

[warm gyro]

I forgotted do I use the derelict ship locater in warp? Just like the range finder thingie?

[honest moon]

not sure how tho

[indigo falcon]

in pulse, yes

[honest moon]

afraid i might delete my main game or something

[indigo falcon]

you can't restart an expedition on an existing save

[warm gyro]

Pulse yeah, thankee kindlee.

[indigo falcon]

you can start it from another save or on a new one

[solemn bane]

Well, if you're on PC (etc) you can use the link in my profile to start a different expedition offline, then save, close, go back online and start this one again.

[warm gyro]

apergos is a rock star lol. Cheers

[indigo falcon]

lotta rock stars around here tbh

[hazy sparrow]

Sorry, I made the incorrect assumption everyone backs up their save game before starting an expedition. If you did not do that, then no way to roll back that I know of. As 'monkey points out, not all platforms can do that.

Regularly backing up my save game folder has saved my bacon numerous times.

[solemn bane]

Not everyone can even make backups

Some consoles make you pay for stuff like that iirc

[indigo falcon]

ps5 you can back up all your game data from all games at once (and restore them all atonce) or nothing

cloud save is $$ yeah

[honest moon]

k k, just figured ill go from the research thing after creating the base, ty for that tip, i think that solved my 'indium' issue

[prisma tundra]

it's always been first warp for every expedition I've been on Cursed to present

[solemn bane]

It's been occasionally buggy. For a little bit it wouldn't show til you landed in a space station after the first jump. I don't doubt HG has broken a very simple mechanic in lots of odd ways.

[indigo falcon]

this is the first expedition where it has been different, but it has been, I repeat, for many players.

[solemn bane]

I wouldn't say it's the first expedition it's been buggy

I think the space station thing happened during Titan maybe, but didn't last too long

[indigo falcon]

I missed that one, as well as Relics

[solemn bane]

Oh, nope, it was Corvette, lol

#nms-expedition message

[indigo falcon]

hm I don't remember when I called it in, but I hadn't sent anything over and I dont' think I bought any recipes. did I even buy any base parts? uh ... hm maybe, for the sentinel pillar base but that would have been at the end of the expd

[feral sequoia]

yo corvettes are kinda cool

[solemn bane]

They have so much utility I groan when I have to use a regular ship

[feral sequoia]

I wonder if I could make one shaped like a star trek ship

[indigo falcon]

there are some amazing builds out there

[feral sequoia]

Can it run on purple crystals tho 🤔

[indigo falcon]

I don't know if you can but people have

[feral sequoia]

oh at the moment I'm just trying to speed run the expedition.

[solemn bane]

I was about to say the only thing I miss is fueling my launch thrusters with Pugneum, but then I remembered I never have to land with my corvette, lol

[indigo falcon]

I never land either, what's the point

[feral sequoia]

still have to craft warp cores

[indigo falcon]

hover, beam me down scotty, do whatever, beam back up

warp hypercores are cheap

heck regular warp cells are cheap, an antimatter reactor and that's that

[solemn bane]

With my corvette that's a once in a blue moon event, since corvettes also have extra warp efficiency modules. Initially I missed the interceptor range, until I found those.

[indigo falcon]

I do like the fact that myregular ship will poilitely land on the landing pad OUTSIDE OF MY BASE instead of interesecting with it, grrrrr

so there's that little issue

[solemn bane]

Oh plus I slaughter sentinels by the dozens so warp cells are a damn burdon on my inventory anyway, lol

[indigo falcon]

wellon our main saves we all have fully decked out freighters right? so it's not like space is an issue

[solemn bane]

If you saw my storage containers you'd probably say I have a "problem"

[indigo falcon]

put some crap in the colossus

[solemn bane]

A lot of "do I have ten stacks of this already? Well, better toss it in just in case"

[solemn bane]

If you saw ech inventory of each of my vehicles you'd probably say I have a "problem"

[indigo falcon]

and in your regular ships that you never use 😛

[solemn bane]

I was about to say "now ask about my ships" lol

I need better rules for my next save to prevent hoarding.

[indigo falcon]

you do

split up your hoarding between saves

[tender tusk]

what are ships but extended inventory

[indigo falcon]

wallpaper generators

but the entire game is kind of that I guess

[feral sequoia]

uh

[indigo falcon]

please tell me that's not the space station rendering bug

it is, isn't it

[solemn bane]

Is that a derelict?

Oh yeah, space station, lol.

[feral sequoia]

no I'm stuck outside the tunnel

[solemn bane]

reload

[solemn bane]

And turn off multiplayer if it's on lol

[indigo falcon]

lol indeed

[feral sequoia]

it's on why turn it off? I got out

[solemn bane]

Because when it's on, shit like that or worse will happen

[indigo falcon]

turn it off because there are various large bugs that this expedition has kindly introduced, all with multiplayer on

[light plume]

before they fixed it, multiplayer being on yeeted you whenever you spacewalked. it just does things™

[feral sequoia]

got it

weird

[indigo falcon]

it sure is. and kind of exhausting for those of us trying to lend a helping hand in here

[feral sequoia]

when multiplayer is off I can't alt tab without pausing the game

[indigo falcon]

like, come on hg, get yer crap together on this mp stuff for ONE TIME please

yes, that's expected behaviour

[feral sequoia]

YO THIS THING GOT AUTOPILOT

[indigo falcon]

I knew you'd love it

[feral sequoia]

NOW I CAN PLAY THE GAME LESS- wait

[indigo falcon]

lolol

when not in this expedition, you can invite friends on to ride with you

[feral sequoia]

I have no friends

[indigo falcon]

they can all walk around (as can you) in flight

ok, your enemies then 😄

[feral sequoia]

Autophage are friend

[indigo falcon]

don't think you can invite them on, sadly

there are some hilarious videos of kidnappings from the anomaly into corvettes...

[feral sequoia]

uuuuuh

wait okay I think my game is bugging hard

[indigo falcon]

someone afks, someone else uses the personal force field to shove them into their corvette and takes off

[feral sequoia]

rendezvous 2 was an abandoned frigate that bugged out, so I reloaded, and now the rendezvous is underwater?

[indigo falcon]

it is, and it should be

get close to the point, beam down, once you touch water that's good enough

[solemn bane]

But dive down anyway for the other milestone

[feral sequoia]

so I have to keep making these debris rangefinders?

[tender tusk]

you only have to make 5 total anything after 5 just gives you extra corvette parts

[indigo falcon]

keep yor eyes open for exotic worlds with silver or gold as resources, I guess you could get enough gold from asteroids but silver is a bit of a PITA

[feral sequoia]

I died

[indigo falcon]

noooooo

[feral sequoia]

swam to the bottom of the ocean and got 800 units deep, no milestone though

[indigo falcon]

oh yeah, I would not do that without either the nautilon or the pressure membrane

nautilon is easier, you get given it

for the pressure membrane you would have to supply the materials

[feral sequoia]

ah

I guess I need to farm oxygen for a while

[indigo falcon]

that and use the nautilon to get down there

where's the grave marker, down there or at the surface?

[feral sequoia]

surface

I got it already I just have no o2

ah I gotta farm materials to craft stuff arg

[winged jasper]

im having trouble finding an infested planet to kill hungering tendrils, anyone have any tips for finding one? ive warped to at least 20 systems and havent found a single one

[indigo falcon]

r3 system, r3 planet "giumf" has them, ignore the game's tooltip that will say it doesn't

[blazing flower]

Sorry, What I meant was who had obtained the rewards of that expedition

[indigo falcon]

me (and plenty o fother people in here probably)

[winged jasper]

shoot i dont remember where the r3 system is i passed that a while ago lolk

[indigo falcon]

all the rend system names are in a post pinned here in the channel

just go back via space station tp (also the right space stations will be labeled "Rend 1, 2, 3" in the list)

[feral sequoia]

I think I'm going to call it a day for now and go to bed before it gets any later. I apparently need to go laser a bunch of carbon and iron tomorrow

[indigo falcon]

ok, rest up, better travels tomorrow!

[blazing flower]

Would you like to trade the herald for one of my ships?

[indigo falcon]

can't, no multiplayer (on ps5, you gotta pay for it)

also ship trading is kind of broken these days

[blazing flower]

Ok

[indigo falcon]

are you on pc (steam)?

[blazing flower]

No

Ps5

[indigo falcon]

no save editing it in then. meh

[blazing flower]

[feral sequoia]

oh save editting I remember now

that's how I got a sentinel ship that looks like the herald

Still no idea how, I just remember it taking forever and not understanding how I did it even once it did work

[indigo falcon]

reskinning, and you're lucky you didn't bork anything if you didn't really know what you were doing 😄

[warm gyro]

Ive done two derelict freighters now wont complete. The log says speak to a space station scrap dealer? I just had 2 different derelict locater things cant remember how I got them. I had to fly up to my ship nd unload to go back and cover ebvery step but Ive lost the freighter lol

I`ve not seen a scrao dealer in this expedition

[misty plinth]

If you need to try again the trade terminals found in the space station sell the emergency signal scanners.

I would turn multiplayer off and have the milestone selected before using the scanner and starting the mission.

Make sure you explore all areas and have the milestone showing the green checkmarks for completion before leaving the freighter.

[latent forum]

I can't find anywhere that is 1001 units. I keep getting lost in caves

[misty plinth]

There aren't any NPCs to interact with in this expedition.

I would suggest using the expedition terminal on the anomaly to take the Captain's Log and Crew Manifest back to your primary save so you can trade them in later.

[latent forum]

What pins? The last pin was 9mo ago...

[misty plinth]

#nms-expedition message

@latent forum The Phase 2 portion has coordinates for a location with the depth you need.

[solemn bane]

Trying to figure out where you looked that had pins from 9 months ago 🤔

[latent forum]

Was able to find it thanks. Wish they would make the coordinate system better though

[pearl zinc]

blehhhhhhhhhhh

[vital scarab]

Yay i complete all 5 phase
Alot faster than i thought

Should i do anything else before ending it?

[solemn bane]

If you started the expedition from an existing save, you can make more corvette summoner thingies to send back to your main save. Not much else special you can do, aside from sending stuff back.

[vital scarab]

Can i send the corvette part i gain back? Like the aeron thingy

[solemn bane]

Yeah. On your primary save you can also claim those rewards at the QuickSilver vendor (the recipe and one part each) as well.

[vital scarab]

How many debris range finder can i send back?
They dont seem to stack

[solemn bane]

As many as you can make. Put them in the expedition terminal then, if you run out of space, switch to your primary save via the pause menu and pick them up. You can do that as many times as you want.

[vital scarab]

Noted thank you

Im gonna fill up 2 of my storage with these bad boys

[vital scarab]

Last question
Do i have to save eveytimr i back and forth?
Seems a little hassle

[solemn bane]

Nope. Tested that a while back.

Game auto saves when you close the terminal and when you switch back to the expedition.

[vital scarab]

What about from expidition to main save?
It still remind last save was 1 minute ago though before moving to main

[solemn bane]

Hm, well it was auto saving any time I closed the expedition terminal. If that's not the case for you then I guess you'll have to save.

[vital scarab]

Darn
Ok then

[finite rover]

are there clams at depth?

[lime zenith]

Got a stocked base as RDV2 for the expedition if anyone needs anything. It's right over the point & has farms, exocraft ect

[normal steeple]

Wait, so are these not obtainable in a normal save?

[solemn bane]

Nope, not unless you start a new save on the expedition, or save hack the recipe into your save.

[normal steeple]

that seems like a weird design choice

[lost sphinx]

Wait. So you can't even make the wreck finders in your normal save?

[solemn bane]

right

[lost sphinx]

That's odd. I thought they were actually introducing a mechanic for finding more Corvette parts.

[solemn bane]

Going to planets with salvageable scrap, scanning from your ship, then shooting them with your photon cannon is still probably way more efficient

[lost sphinx]

I know. That was how I was getting my parts before.

Then again, the last Halloween expedition had a mechanic that was exclusive to it, so I shouldn't be super surprised.

[solemn bane]

Last expedition had the Orbital Uplink which was probably the most time-saving thing in the game. Same deal there, can't get the recipe on a normal save.

[hoary grove]

They've reduced the time for the exp I hear, 8 days left

[hoary grove]

Yeah this is unfortunate

I wonder if it's possible to goatfungus these things in your save and giving them away at the anomaly 💀

[solemn bane]

Yeah, it's just a normal recipe.

[sullen meteor]

what should i bring to this expedition?

[steep shale]

Anyone know where I can find a system/planet for "Hungering Tendrils"?
PS4, so late start.

[fringe agate]

Pinned tips have one

[solemn bane]

Silver, gold, warp fuel I spose.

[sullen meteor]

is it long?

[solemn bane]

Nah. Turn off multiplayer so you can avoid some of the bugs, and info in the pins will help.

[pale rune]

Any advice on finding the floating companion? I'm not finding much of anything

[upper anchor]

How are you supposed to reach 1000 units underground omg deepest i found is 800 within 20 min

[cunning sandal]

I have a question how come we have so few days to do the expeditions this time ?

It's usually like 3 weeks to a month

[little robin]

It's 3 weeks isn't it

[sullen meteor]

isnt this one halloween themed or something?

[little robin]

The expedition itself is on the shorter side

[solemn bane]

Generally you select the milestone, go to the system it tells you to, search every planet for one of these, but you could also search for the milestone name in this channel and I think people have mentioned planet names

[solemn bane]

There are coordinates in the pins

[cunning sandal]

I had to wait multiple days just to get the update. By the time I got it. I didn't have long

[solemn bane]

Sort of, abandoned

[solemn bane]

9 days left I think, they shortened it.

[little robin]

Not explicitly, HG just happens to release spooky scary updates/expeditions around October ;)

[little robin]

Oh dang

[cunning sandal]

Now it says 8 days now

And it took Xbox like multiple days just to get the update out. I don't know if I can finish it now lol

[upper anchor]

Where

[solemn bane]

[upper anchor]

Wow really

[solemn bane]

There's a youtube walkthrough that'll get you done quick

[upper anchor]

Where is the pins

😭

[solemn bane]

In the browser

[upper anchor]

In nms

[cunning sandal]

Tomorrow we'll have 7 days left that's ridiculous since it took multiple days just to get the update.

[upper anchor]

Omg this guy

Is there a browser even?

In nms

[solemn bane]

!faq-pins @upper anchor

Nope, that wasn't it

[upper anchor]

Is there one In game

Yes or no

Lets gooo finally

Found a place

Omg

The guy at nms who chose 1k meters like to see people suffrr

[solemn bane]

How to Check Pins

To toggle the Pins popout:

• PC: Ctrl + P / Mac: Cmd + P
• 📱Mobile: Tap search icon or channel name (at the top), then Pins (example below).

[solemn bane]

Knew there was a command for it, lol

[upper anchor]

Bro could said watch discord pins

Omfg

Be more spefic

😭

[solemn bane]

I was very specific, even got an animated gif for you

[upper anchor]

Now yeah

Before nuh uh

[solemn bane]

Before I didn't know the command

[fringe agate]

[solemn bane]

Had to go search through bk's posts to find it, lol

[solemn bane]

Well, I did also take a screenshot of the pin icon, lol

Clearly anmation is the key though

[upper anchor]

You could said In discord

I was looking In nms

💀

[solemn bane]

Could, but I wanted to find the command

[upper anchor]

Thought was a mission pin

[upper anchor]

Fancy ah blud

[solemn bane]

Also last time this happened the person had no idea how to access the pins in discord so I had to write a tutorial on how to use google to find out how to access the pins in discord. Lot of work.

Then bk swooped in with the command

[fringe agate]

As he does, yes

[oblique wadi]

yay, finally done with my first ever expedition! was fun

how often do they do expeditions?

[solemn bane]

You're gonna have like 5 in a row here

Maybe 6

[remote thunder]

usually 4 new ones every year, then the reduxes of those at the end of the year

[oblique wadi]

nice

[solemn bane]

This one, 4 reduxes then the next year's first one

[oblique wadi]

I saw there's a way to do the old expeditions, will have to go back and do those now

[pale rune]

Is there a difference between the Infested planets and the Vile Brood?

[unkempt kraken]

@pale rune see post below:
-# to view info below, enable embeds

Vile Brood vs. Infested subtype planets

• Vile Brood detected: We can find Juicy Grubs here, that leads to the Brood Mother boss fight. We cannot find tendrills here, unless the planet is also Infested.
• Infested subtype planets: We can find Tendrills here, at Titan Worm Burrows. This subtype has many names. Type !faq-biomes in #nms-commands for a list.

Note: A mission tooltip relevant to finding Infested subtype planets can be bugged and improperly state that there's no infested planets in the current system when there's actually one (or more).

[storm fiber]

I'm having trouble finding a larve to crush. any tips?

[prisma tundra]

find a planet like above that says "vile brood detected"

[storm fiber]

ahh. I just saw the picture above

[sullen meteor]

heck I forgot there wouldn't be a trader on the anomaly. is there any way to sell upgrade modules for nanites in this exp?

[indigo falcon]

nope not this time. gotta fall back to other methods

[spiral tinsel]

How do I make a hyperdrive if theres no copper?

[sullen meteor]

quartzite

[spiral tinsel]

Explain

[sullen meteor]

any of the chromatic minerals can be refined into chromatic metal

[spiral tinsel]

Ight thanks

[humble vapor]

hello

i am doing the mission adopting a flying companion

is it some specific one only?

[faint mesa]

Has to be an exotic one. Select the milestone, it will point you to a place that has them

[humble vapor]

i see, thank

[faint mesa]

Image here of the usual ones that will fullfill the milestone: #nms-expedition message

[humble vapor]

i actually find it but....

maybe not it?

oh it is it

but i try getting close to it but no popup for feeding it?

nvm, i did it, thank

[short patio]

why did some items i brought from my main safe registered as a milestone but some didnt? Cuz i got the milestone for the polished stone for example but not for the storm crystal or the seaglass stuff

[thick umbra]

maybe bc you need Haz-Mat Gauntlet installed ?

[bitter comet]

I saw in a guide that not all things brought over trigger the milestones, some do

[wanton frigate]

looks like the stuff you harvest rather than mine doesn't let you take short cuts. Still, just find a couple of good clusters of storm crystals, wait for the weather to turn and jump in and out of your corvette to harvest. It's not too shabby at all.

Do we just need the one Emergency Scanner to complete the expedition? Found a couple in the first few space stations, wondering if I can safely sell them for Hab-cash.

[arctic wing]

I cant find an infested planet for the tendrils quest

[ionic sierra]

Go to Timestamp 3's planet

Giumf VII

[pearl shard]

Hey dose anyone know if they actually shorted the time to do this expedition heard a couple people saying they did but I’m not gonna be home till this weekend to check for myself

[indigo falcon]

currently the hg servers have nov 6 as the end time and when you check the time left on the expedition in game, it shows that.

[indigo falcon]

if you do the storm crystals at the gas giant (which is a rend. planet), the storms are constant, no waiting, so that's pretty convenient.

[wanton frigate]

it was a short one when it launched (15 days total I think) but I don't think they've shaved any more off it since

compared to the 6 week marathons we've had the last few goes out - it's almost like they knew the switch patch wasn't going to take 3 weeks this time!

[indigo falcon]

when it launched the end date was something like nov 12, so yeah i thas been shortened

[lilac creek]

is there a relic world in the final system for the polisted stone milestone?

[indigo falcon]

you want the "Icy Ruins" world, I forget which system that's in

[lilac creek]

pog ty

[ionic sierra]

It's in the final rdv system

[feral meadow]

how do i get these things outta there

[thick umbra]

drag&drop them in your exosuit cargo ?

[feral meadow]

cant interact with the grayed out items afaik

[thick umbra]

ah .. all non corvette parts ... seems to be a bug

They should not be in your workshop cache

[feral meadow]

i think those are items that were in my previous corvette design. before it randomly decided to revert to a basic corvette design. after which i just continued the expedition using the starter explorer ship

[sonic spade]

Any tips on finding those hungering tendrils for the expedition?

[lilac creek]

is there a way to fully dissassemble a corvette?

[tranquil spruce]

Help, I am stuck on getting the Atlantid drive materials,, I have found a planet for the living glass and the other Atlanditeum [200] but no Hazard Gauntlet to pick those [frost glas] nor to buy in the Anomoly and went to try to get the indium on another planet but no way my drive would let me go, anyone please help or advise... I was at the last part to get to the Rendez vous point but stuk now...

[faint mesa]

Don't you have the tech packaged in your inventory? It's a reward from an early milestone

[tranquil spruce]

Yes, I got it but when I tried to install it, it mentioned i needed those 3 parts of material, did i do something wrong?

I followed all first steps

[faint mesa]

Possibly, installation shouldn't require any materials; you don't install it as a blueprint, it's pre-packaged (grey icon tech item). Let me check which milestone gives it...

[tranquil spruce]

Yes, it is grey,

[faint mesa]

Phase 1: Between the Stars - Warp to a new system
Pre-Packaged Atlantid Drive Unit

[faint mesa]

You should be able to just install it directly

[tranquil spruce]

is it because i used the x to install, I am on xbox, I have it now partly installed and the grey item,

[faint mesa]

So you still have the grey item in your inventory, is that so?

[tranquil spruce]

yes

i double checked it, shall i delete the one who is wrong and try to install again?

[faint mesa]

Yes, but just to be sure, make a restore point before it lol. (Just enter and exit your ship)
Then install the pre-packaged one. ( )

[tranquil spruce]

YEAH, that did it, i used te RS key on my xbox to delete and install again and it did not asked for the materials

Thank you so much for helping me,

[faint mesa]

No problem!

[feral sequoia]

Aw man I forgot to start my expedition from my main save

Should I start over?

[brisk kindle]

is there any deep water planet near the Timestamp IV? I forgot to activate the Timestamp II space station teleport so I can't go back there to harvest 8 Crystal sulphide

[thick umbra]

check a teleporter for system Konamis

[feral sequoia]

@indigo falcon I'm gunna start over but with gear from my main save this time since I already have a tone of mats

[winged arrow]

Where do I even find the floating critter man

I've been through like 6 planets and there's jack shit

[brisk kindle]

finallyy, thank u so much

[feral sequoia]

how long before I can call the anomoly? I thought all I had to do was get off planet?

[thick umbra]

after the first warp

[winged arrow]

Ok icl especially now being met with this quest I dont get what the point of these is

It's way too linear to feel open but sometimes it also just stops guiding you for random bullshit that feels like it's done just as an excuse to make you look at a mechanic

The game has been telling me to do everything in specific systems and on specific planets, we get to the most hyper specific step that adds nothing to the plot of the expedition and forces you to interact with an otherwise non existent mechanic that I hardly knew existed until now, and suddenly it's just "Yeah... uh.. you can find a floating critter in a purple system"

[teal jungle]

Are you irritated that it's telling you where to go or because you can't find where to do the floating critter step?

[winged arrow]

Kinda both

Irritated that it tells me exactly where to go until the step where it's not at all obvious where the goal would be

[thick umbra]

teleport to timestamp3 .. make that mission active .. open Galaxy Map and it will lead you to a system

[winged arrow]

Yeah it didn't do that

I just trial and errored

[thick umbra]

did work for me

[winged arrow]

Yeah idk it just wasnt giving me a marker

It's doing it again for the fucking infested planet 😭😭😭

[fringe star]

Try this: To clean them out, use the quick transfer method.
Stand next to the Workshop Cache terminal but don't open it.
Open your suit inventory [TAB].
Hover over an empty cargo slot and activate the transfer [X]
Select the Workshop Cache tab and transfer the item out to your suit cargo.

[winged arrow]

Does anybody know which system near the 4th rendezvous has an infested planet??

[thick umbra]

#nms-questions message

[winged arrow]

Thanks

[lavish saddle]

Do the multi tool or ship modules need to be pulled off to send over to main save or will they stay put if equipped and owned once complete is selected

[fallow pendant]

I hate how the last phase of the expedition kinda feels like filler tbh

like they didn't really know what to do after you reached the last rendezvous

[feral sequoia]

Now I can do this expedition properly

[umbral forum]

I hate this expedition. Lots of unrelated chores. I know that there is symbolism in the number 16, but collecting 16 radiant shards for no reason feels just like a waste of time.

I guess it serves as some sort of showcase to display most of the features of the game, but having to go to aressonant world to find an e.g. interceptor would probably feel more rewarding than getting 16 of the same item.

And then they lock the grub objective behind the derelict freighter objective.

[storm fiber]

For Thermal Power, where is the water? I cannot find the planet in the same system that we got the storm crystals from

[umbral forum]

I found the crystal sulphide in some random planet with shallow water.

[wanton frigate]

Shame with a corvette we can't just destroy the Derelict freighter then spacewalk in to pick up the good stuff floating in the wreckage... I hate playing Hide n Seek with the central heating.

There's crystal sulphide way way down on Rendezvous 2 but it's a risky depth to be harvesting at.

[umbral forum]

Getting them in shallow water is a lot easier.

[storm fiber]

ahh. I have my sub in that water planet already. good idea. Thanks!

[wanton frigate]

I think there's a another shallower planet in the same system. (Well it looked blue from space. Might have a high smurf population density)
1400u is a long way to go to get crushed harvesting the geotherms

[lethal flare]

oke ama tweak out when im in s pace it says viable lifesigns detected on a nerby world when i land on any of the 3 it says no matching ones continue exploring

[wanton frigate]

The most viable life sign ... is MAN!
That sounded more ominous in my head

[feral sequoia]

YOU CAN JUST BEAM DOWN!?!

beam me DOWN?? SCOTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wraith junco]

There is no scotty. Only ZUUL

[lethal flare]

zuul?

whats the name of timestamp3 planet

[foggy valley]

trying to explore this thing and this appears, turning off MP didn't helped, also loading the last save neither.

[indigo falcon]

all of the planet an dsystem names are in pinned posts here in this channel

[indigo falcon]

you could try going through and see if you get credit. basically you need to get crew manifest, captain's log, and item of your chice from engineering terminal

[hardy egret]

I’m doing the expedition and I’m tryna get out of my corvette to space walk for the Fireship arcadia but anytime i get out it launches across the system and I can’t control anything anyone know how to solve this

[foggy valley]

tried it once, took me like 14 minutes, and nothing happened at the end, we're talking about those 3 big terminals right? because if yes, indeed, I got them all 3

[lethal flare]

does vile brood mean infected?

[neon belfry]

I jumped on the black hole, and have to go to the final destination. I spent like 10min jumping from galaxies to galaxies, further and further. Is it supposed to be that long and that far ?

[dreamy hawk]

I can't do the fireship arcadia stuff because everytime I leave my corvette I get flung and everytime I slow down I just get flung again

[storm fiber]

teleport instead

[dreamy hawk]

I've reloaded multiple times and it keeps doing this

[indigo falcon]

yeah those are the ones. well shoot

[indigo falcon]

no. vile brood are the giant beetle bosses, and the juicy grubs.

[foggy valley]

got the simple solution to this problem, restarting the whole game

[indigo falcon]

I thought you had tried that already?

[foggy valley]

no not at all, was just backing up to my save before I entered the frigate, just thought there is a less radical method

[indigo falcon]

oh

usually it's turn-off-mp-if-it's-on, save-exit-reboot, and only after that is it looking for hard-to-find workarounds...

[dreamy hawk]

I'm still getting flung in a entirely different corvette..

I have a clip of it too

[indigo falcon]

got mnultiplayer on?

[dreamy hawk]

Its the expedition so yeah

[indigo falcon]

turn it off please, it is the source of this and several other large bugs

[dreamy hawk]

oh alright

[indigo falcon]

(sorry)

[dreamy hawk]

Im just glad I can complete the expedition so that doesn't bother me too much

I just thought it was the corvette I was using not multiplayer

Is it multiplayer itself or is someone using exploits to fling people who do spacewalks?

[silver vessel]

now that people have spent some time doing this, what would you really reccomend I bring over from my main save

[indigo falcon]

no it's mp

[dreamy hawk]

10 warp cells

5 solar mirrors

5 quantum computers

5 metal platings

nautilon platform materials (100 Magnetized Ferrite, 100 Oxygen, 3 di-hydrogen jelly)

hazmat gauntlet

and advanced mining laser.

[indigo falcon]

solar mirrors (5), quantum computers (5), some warp hypercores, that's probably alll

[dreamy hawk]

And I also usually bring carbon and ferrite

And chromatic metal

[silver vessel]

radiant shards? lol

[dreamy hawk]

the tedious stuff

[dreamy hawk]

I haven't needed them so probably not

[indigo falcon]

people bring those to meet a milestone instantly

I dont' think it's worth the bother

[dreamy hawk]

I tried that and it didn't work for me but that makes sense

[dreamy hawk]

If you're gonna do that, those milestones are 7 storm cystals, 8 Cystal Sulphide and 16 radiant shards

and 5 sea glass

[lethal flare]

It s says scan planets from space to survey for broodilings IM ON THE EXACT SAME PLANET THAT THE PINNED THING SUGGEST WOULD W ORK AND I CANT GET A SINGLE FUCKING SCAN

tf am i doing wrong

help

[thick umbra]

Sea Glass and Storm Crystal you need to get in exp by yourself.. does not count if you bring this with you

[dreamy hawk]

Ahh

Didn't know that

[thick umbra]

Tendrils/Metamorphosis ?
Rendezvous 3 system, Kobaya-Odgo XIV, planet Giumf VII

You need to land on this planet and than use your visor

[small cloak]

how can i sell modules on this expedition? the space stations dont have vendors or anything

[feral sequoia]

I got a pet biblically accurate polyhedron

[foggy valley]

also check out this, you can ride this thing, and it looks hilarious

[feral sequoia]

I know

I'm not sure I'm controlling it all that well though

[lethal flare]

Phase 3:
They Feed can be easily done at any Timestamp location (except Timestamp II), since they're all next to abandoned buildings, that have whispering egg clusters.
Friends in Odd Places milestone itself leads player through galaxy map to a suitable system. Player will just need to find it by checking each planet. Alternatively, players found Gashi 69/B4 moon in Nasuda-Wase Timestamp V system to have a suitable floater. Let floaters come to you, don't chase them, keep aiming up. Also see this post for images.
Tendrils can be completed on Timestamp III planet, Giumf VII (Kobaya-Odgo XIV system), even though the mission tooltip says there's no infested planets in the system. Also see this post for images.
Metamorphosis can be done at multiple planets. Look for Vile Brood Detected on resource lists, then use your visor to look for Juicy Grub red icons. For example, Rihamsto Alpha in Kobaya-Odgo XIV would work.

IM on the Rihamsto alpha

doing metamorphosis

[hardy egret]

How far I gotta go to get to the end lol 😂😂

Swear I went through like 300 systems

[solemn bane]

You took a black hole that sent you to a distant part of the universe. Use a teleporter on a space station or the Anomaly to go back to a Rendezvous space station

[hardy egret]

Oh my that does make sense

I’ve used three hypercores lol

[warm gyro]

building a corvette is merely part of Breach phases/missions? Don`t have to use it?

[solemn bane]

You have to use it for the broken corvette milestones

[foggy valley]

can I actually transfer as many things as I want from the expedtions end or only the given space once ?

[solemn bane]

As many things as you want. After putting stuff in the expedition console you can switch to your primary save via the pause menu.

[warm gyro]

Ohhhhh. I got tangled up trying to use my main save for this. Got to phase 4 and beyond couldnt complete derelict freighter. Did it twice. Just started over lol.tyvm

[foggy valley]

great thanks

[lethal flare]

ur what is this giant spining portal ah structure i found near someones base?

like huge unlit portal gate thingy

[heavy merlin]

I can’t find a gentle giant for the expedition

[lethal flare]

IS THERE A WORKING SPACE STATION W ITH A PORTAL IN THIS PART OF GALAXY OR WHAT

[solemn bane]

Easy to do when you do the 1000u underwater milestone. Lots of big stuff down there.

[hardy egret]

Do I need special bait or anything to catch spawn of arcadia?

[solemn bane]

YES

[solemn bane]

Nah, I raw dogged it

[lethal flare]

no it aint every station i visit its spac//e st//ion?

and therer aint one ther

[hardy egret]

U gotta go to back left córner

[solemn bane]

They all have teleporters in the back

[lethal flare]

i found it thx s o much im just dum

[hardy egret]

Any tips on the fishing i suck

[feral sequoia]

So I need to kill tentacles, and the thing says there's no infested planets in the sytem I'm in—but the planet I'm on says vile brood detected?

[solemn bane]

Tendrils/Metamorphosis: Rendezvous 3 system, Kobaya-Odgo XIV, planet Giumf VII. The game will lie about it.

[feral sequoia]

I'm on one of the moons of the rendezvous 4 gas giant because I got lost

[solemn bane]

I used to think you needed to fish from land and not use bait, but people got it using mealworms on their corvette, so I dunno, I guess it's just bad luck. I got it in like 5 casts on land with no bait.

[foggy valley]

For me mordite was doing great as a bait

[heady pilot]

All abandoned stations have a working teleporter. What are you on about?

[feral sequoia]

Are they the three grub things that pop up together?

[solemn bane]

Sure

[feral sequoia]

Okay I’ll try that I guess

[viral umbra]

has it happened before that they changed the ending date of an expedition ?

just wondering because the ending seems so near, and I'm still unable to even start this expedition 😑

[heady pilot]

Yes but I don't think they ever changed the end date to shorten an expedition before. When they changed the end date before they added extra time to the expedition.

[viral umbra]

k thanks

[lethal flare]

on the planet i have to catalogue 8 diff animals only 3 spawn in w ater and 2 on ground where shoiuld i look

[solemn bane]

Just gotta wait

[magic belfry]

More on ground or check animal tab for locations.

It will take some patience

[heady pilot]

Sky...look to the sky. There should be 2 diurnal flying fauna and a 3rd ground fauna.

[lethal flare]

do any s pecial ones spawn on the flotationg islands?
