Newbee player [retired person] are all Crystal Sulfates so deep in the oceans?
Sometimes you find them near a shore, too
If not use your Nautilon
thank you
Approx. How long does the Expedition take? Can I finish it in one sitting?
I did it in 5.5h
It can take longer for newbie
I would say 7.5-9h is the average standard
Complete!
The hardest part of the expedition was definitely deciding which couple of extra corvette parts to leave behind due to limited space in the rewards screen.😂
Ummm. U could take them all
Place items in rewards screen. Jump to main save from options. Take items from exp terminal anomaly. Go back to expedition save repeat.
do you get to carry the stuff in your expedition mode back to your primary save? if so how many times?
and do you only get to carry stuff back after you've picked up the very list reward?
You can place some items in the expedition table,( I forgot how many) the items placed in the table will be available after the expedition ends, excess items will be converted to units and nanites
And u can redeem expedition rewards from the quick silver npc
Rewards are different from the items u have placed in the table/cabinet
can't put anything in the expedition terminus atm. I get to do that after the last reward?
Yes after finishing the expedition, before ending the expedition
cool. and nanites get carried across?
Yes, units as well
loverly. care not for units. nanites is where it's at :)
Indeed
So has the expedition came to an end now?
for me, yes :) for all, no :)

Nvm
Its ending early and the devs go on a break in November apparently
damn. can't bounce multiple times
I speed raced somewhat through this expedition, unintentionally (minimal distance travelled, systems mapped etc)
Still netted 18k nanites, first time I've done an exp from my main save (didn't know that was a thing lol) definitely going to play the next one more meticulously
true. never realised you could take stuff back
trying to fit all the ship bits I got in so I can take them back. failing.
Heyy idk if im silly here or what. So I saw a post totake the atlantid drive out with you. I found a system I wanted to go back too but I cant fly to it.
It says I need the drive but I have it installed... any ideas ?? I dont even see the star system. But I have a waypoint cause I was there before
How am I supposed to go 1000 deep in water when 200 is max
It's definitely not the max
World I was on it was
...then find a different world. There's a number of deep sea planets in the systems you'll visit along the expedition path

we should be able to release the magic fish in space to get a roided up space siren
find planets in purple systems which have lithium. them water worlds go up to 1200u, easy
rendezvous 2 system Konamis has a waterworld biome planet - the rendezvous 2 planet itself. the area near rendezvous2 location marker itself was deep enough, as you can check on the image (see those coords? you could travel to those yourself and guaranteed find that deep spot)
Okay im confused what counts as anomalous floating companion
that's flying creatures with realy special design, like pyramide medusa, spyky floating urchin, etc
try to look for these 4
yeah I was confused on that too cause I presumed it meant floating animal from an exotic world, but it's just a weird looking creature
uh
how to i crush vile grub?
is my first time finding titan worm so
also, i thought there are no NPC this expedition lol
which system / planet had predators ? RV5 would be good if there is a planet there
oh.....so, nothing
shooting them down also do nothing, i guess
finally finished the expo
absolute cinema
which system / planet had predators ? RV5 would be good if there is a planet there ??
I found bottom right but man its hard to feed it
anyone ? pse
why do you need predators for this expedition?
How can I complete the exoedition?
Nice
By doing all the milestones, claiming the rewards and finishing at the expedition terminal on the anomaly
Did you try throwing creature pellets near it?
thats a vile spawn, dropped by a Tendril. The Vile grub you find on the Brood planets, usually dug a little under ground, and you need a hazmat glove to crush it. Lace your runners up first.
For this expedition the Hazmat Glove is a reward for clearing a Derelict, which is another milestone in I think Phase 3
That is not a vile grub
Be specific, or you can't get specific help. Are you having trouble with a specific step, have you finished all the steps but don't know how to mark it complete, or do you not know where to even begin?
Either way the answer is "Read the Pins!"
But given you have a few Expedition badges under your belt I suspect you know that already 😄
How can i get Nanites when the Expedition is set in an Abandoned Universe? Runaway Mold? I know the Smuggled Weapon Packages won't work, cause I cannot sell the Nanites
Cant even start the ship😭
Refine radiant shards/inv mirrors
Or scan all the fauna on a planet
You just need some basic materials to fix it
Which one gives more Nanites? Mirrors or shards?
Mirrors
3 hours in no ferrite💔
Ofc not all 3 h but ive been stuck there
Cant i like restart it?
there's tiny rocks onthe starter planet with ferrite dust, on the darker barren patches of soil. on the lush parts there are larger rocs with crystals poking out that have ferrite dust too, just gotta go looking for them
you can't restart the epedition on a save. if you backed up your save before starting, you could restore that backup but you'll be on the same starter planet anyways
Weird, I was swimming in Ferrite but carbon was like gold dust at the start. But yeah, just grind - you'll get there, and once you hit orbit you don't have to go back.
carbon I found from some rock like things in caves, very convenient. and caves are not that hard to find on the starter planet either
hello everyone o/
im completely newb in nms, started yesterday in expedition
looking for help, cause i cant figure out how to build a base on a planet, i watch a video and looks like i need to find a base computer during story, or something like that
but if i get it right, there is no main story in expedition, so, how im able to build a base?
the base computer will be given to you as a reward from one of the milestones
it mightbe worth looking through the early milestones, let's say for phase 1 and 2, and see what you get
They always give you what you need to complete it - though you don't need a base for this one.
Folks, any tips on finding the spot to get the 1000 water depths goal?
Also - look at all the phases - there's stuff you can do from phases 2-4 pretty early
the rendezvous 2 planet
1400u in places
including directly under the marker
Ive been circling the water here and the most i got is about 750 something
Oh for real? Shoot
oh, thank you for info
looks like i already have it, but it doesnt shows up in build menu when i was on my corvette, my bad
thank you again :)
I can't get there anymore. The markers gone
you can't build one on your corvette! Find land 😄
The build menu is contextual to where you are at the time.
you could navigate to the planetary coordinates (which are given for the rend. points in a pinned post in this channel)
yeah, thats why i fail to find base computer :D
really sorry, newb mistake
dont be- we all started from zero. If no one ever asked questions, this channel would be no fun
appreciate that 🫡
so...:)
if i place a base computer and claim land, i can teleport there in any time, right?
or do i need to build something teleporter there?
yes. You don't need to build the teleporter, that's just for leaving from there. And your ship will appear nearby so you'll be able to fly off
As long as it's fueled.
But you're living in the Corvette Age, baby. No one lands their ship any more 😄
Use the menu to get out of your chair and beam down, and never spend Launch Fuel again.
Actually, since you mentioned teleporting, if you teleport to your base and your Corvette is active, it will probably be positioned somewhere really inconvenient , like right through your base.
Is there a way that we can reactivate the marker?
oh wow, thats why this button exists lol
not that I'm aware of, but as Apergos said, look up the coordinates in the pins and fly there
i cant figure why its always not active
o, p
sometimes it seems to have a little trouble with the ground underfoot - give it a sec. Drop the ramp and peek over the edge, make sure it's clear below, should be working by the time you go back inside.
im on the mission to kill 5 tendrils. but the area it sends me to it says has no infected planets?
Now I cant find stellar metals 5o di hyperdrive
Ohh alright I'll check the pin, thanks 🍻
there's a resource on the starter planet (and all planets in the system) you probably don't recognize, that's because you're in a purple star system which has a new stellar metal.
Quartzite
Guys i’m stuck on the starting planet, i can’t find any material to make chromatic metal and repair my hyperdrive
What am I looking for for the 5 tendrals? P3. Planet/system wise
Really???
the "boiling doom" planet ("giumf") has them. the worm burroughs will be visible via icons in the hud, a red diamond and a white curved worm inside it. the burrough itself is a large egg-shaped intrcate thing on delicate thin supports raised a good ways off the ground.
Phase 5:
Forgotten Quarries and Grave Robber, there's an "Icy Ruin" planet in Timestamp V system that also has Ancient Bones.
having issues assembling as it is HUGE ?
I need help, i have found the fireship arcadia, but there is no log around it, not even the blue icon
scan and look for wifi symnbol
use the suit scanner, you'll see what looks like the buried tech icon, it's going to be on a tiny piece floating off a ways from the main shipwreck parts
like, you won't see it except for that icon
ok, going to try that
where is this?
the scanner will also give gear icons over the two parts you were able to mine, so if you see those, you're doing it right
the list of rewards and milestones is pinned in here in this channel, you can look there if you like
it will be one before "graverobber" of course, might be one or two earlier, I would look there
yo just finished breach expedition its time for me to put everything valuable to my main save, are these important to take with me?
if you like collecting souvenirs, bring them, otherwise sell or toss
should i show case my inventory if u know what will benefit me to take with me?
ok thx
no because I don't know what your main save has, nor how far along in the game it is, etc. you'll have to make those decisions yourself. I can tell you if an item is trade value only or just a souvenir but beyond that it's a judgment call
ok thx for the heads up and advice
@indigo falcon one more question, anything is left behind wil lturn into units or nanites yes or no?
thats what i heard
Looked in milestones, cant find it nor can I find anything needing to be claimed
if you started from an existing save, ,then anything left in your expd save inventory at the end will get translated to units/nanites that go to the main save, yes, and you'll get some screens at the end that describe this
thx bro
Forgotten Quarries - Gather Polished Stone: 256, Reward: Fossil Display Pack
that's from Phase 5, same as Grave Robbers
I checked the pins for it, looked at the entries before the grave robbers milestone
Take the atlas shield generator, its pretty hard to make
Oh, and also the aeron drive
i alr added every atlas corvette part from the expedition to the terminus
Gooooood
Uuuh maybe also add all the ship/multitool/inventory slot thingys
alr did took everything i didnt have that i would need on the main save for ex: the protable refinery
and mor estuff i needed
ok then in the build menu you should see fossil displays of various types
Seems good
If you were given engines while exploring dead corvettes, then maybe add them aswell
I think I used a quadraped display for mine
Ferrite is extremely easy to mine tho, i would have replaced it with something else thats more valuable
look under the portable section I think
true, i need to run the exploit first cuz there are alot of crap in need from the expedition to the main save, some stuff i cant really leave behind
👍
not tech, the portable one. with the portable refiner icon on it. I think they are in that part
O, o, also, the corvette finder! Give yourself at least one and later duplicate it on main
@indigo falcon You saved me again, No icons, buti flew away and from all four directions and i saw it, but not on the scanner, but we did it, thank you..
u mean the debris rangefinder or am i missing smth
ok let me get into the game and see which section has them. you'll need to give me a minute
I checked each and cant find it
let me look
also why is your reward list wrong for that polished stone milestone, that's no good
If I knew lol
Iam 300 u away from my corvette and my base, I open the build menu, the portable refiner thing lists: base cmoputer, portable refiner, bunch of other crap, and below it has: fossil displays and in there: quadruped fossil display, biped fossil display an da few others
that's what you should be seeing
if you get over 300 u away from corvette and your base, I assume you still don't see it? if so then you'll need to buy the part at he anomaly for salv data, the construction research station still works
they all take 25 pure ferrite to buld so they are cheap enough
What was the gas planet system called rendevouz 4 i think?
atterius
it's in the pinned posts in here, all the ren systems and planet names are in there
pins can be confusing, should have a info channel with more detail lol
Nah i was just stupid

Yeye that one
You cant craft in a normal save i think
this one?
no, you are looking for "quadruped fossil display" and other such
bet then
thx for letting me know
W
What's the relic world P5.4 for polished stone?
those are the ones, might as well get all of them, they are cheap (and the rewards say you get all of them anyways)
I did as I had enough
good
setup in a base or on corvette
base or enough away from the corvettte it's not part of the corvette base
you can pick it up again after
lamo was tryinghh to Build inside
it plus the bones you put in it will then take only one inv slot
Is there a trick to doing phase 5 part 3? Nothing is here. Theres no fauna anywhere. Ive been underwater. In the air. On the ground. Theres nothing here!
what does fauna show in the discovery tab? and: is multiplayer on? because if so, I would turn it off, save-exit-reload
at last
Hey so reading this morning, sounds like expedition is diffferent that I thought? we can not bring our corvettes and all we have collected? only what fits in the box?
the corvette can be copied (for a cost of some nanites) back on the main save where you started it from
and all he parts?? or do i need to add all to the corvette lol
add as many as you can
(from inv where you only have one or two of that piece, heh)
It shows 0/9
ok so it does say there are 9, that's correct. get to some other part of the planet then (with mp off) and try again, wait a couple minutes for fauna to spawn in there
hi guys, i'm contacting you because I'm completly stuck on the expedition. Can't find indium to upgrade my ship and have access to blue solar systems. How did you guys do? I'm in phase 3 where you have to find a companion. Thanks for your help cheers
Well some fish spawned so maybe it worked. Idk
It worked
atlantid drive, you get it prepackaged after first warp
it gets you to all the colour systems
thanks for your reply, I did the drive but can't find the prepack. I will check it again, might be on other ships I got. Cheers mate
Do i have to wait till the expeditions over to get the rewards on a different save??
Oh wait
Im stupid
Guys help i cant find a Planet with the worm to kill...
Whichever rendevous that was. Theres a worm planet in the same system

3rd one maybe?
Ok ty now i will try
@normal depot @remote thunder holy hell
What screen is that?? I just finished mine i never got that?
did u finish expedition before seeing it?
Yep
Yeah. I got all my rewards... Are you twllin me there an option to transfer my nanites and credits to a different save?
i did the glitch i also got the debris finder two of them in case for dupes
ask idk i doubt u can transfer to another save
i think only from the save u started expedition in
Only the Expedition Rewards and Quicksilver are applied across all the saves.
what world would be a good jellyfish world and is it fishing?
- Jellyflesh, you'll need Fishing Rig multitool tech installed. Try fishing near a shore. Have multiplayer disabled and the milestone selected, no need to use any bait.
i did it in rdv 5, took me 1 catch under the above conditions ^
if it's for the last milestone, any world with water, fish even off the shore w/ no bait
BUT select the milestone first
do you get the new corvette parts at the end of the expedition
you get blueprints to make them!
at the end ?
uh huh, to make three of them I think
you can build as many as you'd like
the list of all rewards and such is in here in the pins btw
even if you run out, after claiming them from the qs shop, we can build them in the workshop
well that was easy
@normal depot got 2 of each
Glad to hear that, this plus some other things will allow you to make a good ship
ong
plus i got shittttttttttttt ton of modules
oops double posted by accident
what is the orange jellyfish?
i got him from fishing
Nice!
thx
good to see my millennium falcon after 2 weeks of only expedtion
Did you get all of those and the extra from going after them or through natural progression? I have 3 of those items as a reward from natural progression. I'm in phase 4, so curious if I need to go hunting for it all or if I'll get it all later
i got the first patch of 1 from every atlas corvette part from the missions of the expedition, and i forwarded them to the terminus, i got another set from the guy whom u can give ur quick silver to
remember that in a way, we can "craft" infinites of these
after we claim them from qs shop in our main saves, we can build as many of them via the workshop build menu itself, even if we dont have more of them in the inventory
interesting
Well I shall liquidate my collectiosn and limit what I transfer
So all the modules are treated as blueprints for the corvette?
I have random ones in the cache. Then the actual upgrades module things installed. Need all that in my main save lol
Items in a ships containers or inventory, do they return with you ?
inventory does not transfer unless you put it in the anomaly terminal slots
kk
can anyone help me find some biological horrors to exterminate? ive flown to two planets saying they had them and have been running around looking for a couple hours
How rare is the spawn of arcadia?
they are all over
Any specific baits I should use?
just stop at any building basically thats not a waypoint or a beacom. shoot eggs. kill horrors. repeat until 16 are dead
spawn of arcadia: any water planet, on shore, shallow water, no bait, works fine
Ncm got it
BUT pin the milestone!!
only the aeron modules
ok just got hit by an electrical discharge in a shelter, that's not cricket
okay ty
if your character had hair, it'd have a new hair style atm
hair or no hair, I got a complain to file with The Management
you copy it via the button that says to copy ship, at the anomaly terminal, once back on main save
Oh I seen scared me for sure'
Is the debris rangefinder craftable on the main save?
The Anomaly doesn't seem to have a recipe there.
nope, not an account wide unlock, but per save
only if you had started from new save would you be allowed to keep that ability
Wait, I unlocked it during the expedition, how can I get the blueprint in my main file?
Or you can't at all?
You can, claim it as rewards on the QS shop
any expedition reward (end phase/end expd) can be claimed at the qs vendor once per save file
About the corvette wrack locators, does it matter where I use them, or are the corvette parts just pure NRG no matter where I activate them?
I expect they are rng based
Thank you!
yeah, thats what I think too, and as it seems, on my normal save I can't pick up the ships ''black box'' ?
It's funny, when I started the expedition I hadn't (and still haven't) unlocked purple stars, so I was really confused where I was supposed to get the chromatic metal from, since I didn't know quartz could be used for that
you and half the players in here 😄
Should've shipped the drive back to my main file, oh well
apparently you must complete the atlas, artemis and autophage stories in order for the drive to get yo to purple stars
Well I finished the main atlas (unless atlas eternal isn't just a repeating quest) so that's one
On the quest to get to galactic center, so not finished
Don’t recall autophage
it's after those two
Gotcha, thank you
Cant seem to find that special pet offf
Select the milestone, should guide you to a system that has them; and it will inform you when they are present in a planet
or you can wait til r5, that system has a good planet (see pins in here for the name which I don't remember)

in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam
6 days left people, better get your plans in order, only one weekend available before the expd ensd, then a bunch of workdays
I've only just started the expedition. Do I have enough time?
yes
How often are expeditions? When this one is over do we know when the next one is?
We don't know. It's always a suprise.
Thank you
one thing I miss already are the stations in EWxpedition for ship etc
From the past we know there are average 4 expeditions per year that get a rerun around end of the year , late nov/start of dec. But we dont know any specific date
Thanks!
Can anyone help, I've down the stage that awards the nautilus platform but it's not in my construction menu so can't summon the sub to continue
I wonder if they'll re-run some of the real early expeditions now since there's been an influx of new players
There was 1 expedition in the past that had mixtape of rewards from diffrent expeditions.
You need to claim the reward also if you're too close to your corvette the build menu for it won't appear try going a away from your corvette and try again
do i need to bring stuff in before starting the expedition?
I've already claimed the reward maybe I am too close to it
you could cut down the grind in some parts if you do, but it's not needed as such
It helps. I always bring in some vital resources, oxygen, carbon, repair kits, that kind of thing
I brought nothing, it was fine, etc
I brought all of my ammo, then forgot it was ALL of my ammo when I finished and went back to main save, so I tried to take a mission and got eaten
Next time I will pack Ferrite Dust and Chromatic metal
Sorted thanks
Can't find Tendrils ... for the expedition
r3 system, planet is called "giumf", ignore what the game says about there being no tendrils there
r3 system?
rendezvous 3 system
don't remember where is it anymore
all the rend. system names and such are in the pins in this channel., if you stopped at the space station or put a base there, it will be in the teleporter list at any space station
kobaya-odgo, that's the system
got it thanks
excellent
Is there any way to earn nanites during the exp to buy my own ship and mt through the expedition monitor?
sure
scan all fauna on a planet, the exotic worlds are good for that, so is the starter planet
I usually sell the contents of suspicious packages but obviously there's not space station shops
I was thinking of looking for mold
collect larval cores from the eggs and refine those
oh yeah good shout
how long is the expedition? im unsure if ill get it done or ill need to save edit
you got til nov 6, so through the weekend anyways
Refining radiant shards is also a good source of nanites.
I get the parts once finished all right?
might not have the adv mining laser yet

six (6) days, get organized, folks!
Yeah it definitely seems like the change to shorten the expedition was deliberate and intentional. Some people were thinking that maybe HG made it shorter by mistake and that they intended to extend it by a week since the change was made the same day when the PS4 got the expedition so people were thinking maybe HG wanted to give extra time but like an intern clicked the wrong button or something. But it's been 3 days now and end time is still the 6th...soooo yeah...def intentional. If you haven't finished this yet hurry up...time is wasting and there isn't a lot left.
what’s the rewards for this expidition
Mainly 9 atlas themed corvette parts and a new ship trail(smoking red). Beyond that it's the usual stuff all expeditions get like 3 poster, decal, title, banner, etc.
My philosophy is to always do expeditions even if I don't plan to use something right now because if I decide I want it later then I won't be able to change my mind. Once something is gone it might not come back and if it does it might take a really long time.
nms expiditions can be done at any time, as long as you’re good at not breaking your acc
There is something but I'm not allowed to talk about it here. Last time I did an admin immediately deleted my message and said they don't allow people to talk about info known from "server sniffing".
never heard of that term before but ight
I would never attempt that. If HG don't allow something it's not worth touching at all. I have over 7000 hours in the game and well over 6000 of those are on my main save that I started on day one when the game launched in 2016. If there is even a 0.001% chance something could cause me to lose that save it's not worth doing.
Im trying to do the analyize all creatures on anma omega but I cant find a single one, am I doing sum wrong?
Yoooo every systeme is abandonned or what???
Yes. The expedition is in abandoned mode. That means that the entire universe is dead...there are no NPCs to be found anywhere and all space stations are abandoned.
Awwww maaaaaannn
no but: multiplayer off; save-exit-reload; make sure the discovery tab says tehre are 9 fauna total; if you don't see any after a few minutes, move to another part of the planet and wait for a couple minutes for them to spawn in
How to i increase my hyperdrive range then?
you'll get an S class upgrade from a milestone later on
when you build a corvette, if you find the right kind of reactor part that will give you increases too
the loot boxes near the telporter in every space station may drop low class upgrades of various sorts
What if i use the living ship tho
One of the expedition milestones will give you one S class hyperdrive upgrade, which at worst will be +200ly.
I would recommend against it, many things on this expedition are easier or can only be done with the corvette
Oooh ok ok then
Slap a couple of Zenith's on the roof and that baby zooms!
-# this opinion requires flukey digging up of a couple of Zenith's.
part of the point of expeditions is for players to experence the game differently, using a mode of play or tools or ships they don't usually.... sometimes you may like it, in the worst case it is a break from the norm
If you can import ships into the expedition I would suggest importing an already upgraded ship...or at least one less incalcitrant to upgrade.
better get collecting then 😄 or don't worry about it, the corvette will get you covered
also in the loot boxes you sometimes find a hypercore
(the ones at the space station teleporter rooms)
in the meantime there are a lot of hazardous flora, so you should never be short on oxy for antimatter
Cmplete fauna scans on planets. You get 250 naites for every creature scanned on that planet. Don't bother with planets that have underground creatures...those can be very difficult and time consuming to spawn.
Tysm, srry for the late response, u jst saved me
New playerhere, been at it for maybe a week now and thinking of trying to do expedition for the first. What do I need to know before starting
Also i see yall talking using a corvette ship on expedition. I haven't built mine yet, but I was given a Sentinel Ship last night that I decked out. Can I use thus on my expedition?
you can use it for some things but as I mentioned above, some tasks are just easier with the corvette, and some require it, it's jus timpossible to do otherwise
did they like hide all other player bases on this expedition
no
legit cant see any base markers
I saw numerous base markers and also stumbled onto someone's base by accident
(and I have mp off, can't even enable it, because sony)
i think ive stumbled on one but i havent seen any markers
wame
Whats some things I need to know before going into my first expedition?
I think you should read the pinned posts in here, starting with the expedition overview (general intro to expedition mode)
Im nervous to try it lol
Probably server issues...they are not uncommon, especially not is super populated systems like all the main expedition systems are by now. What do you need a player base for anyway?
The biggest thing is this expedition is in abandoned mode...so the entire universe is dead. No NPCs to be found anywhere, all space stations are abandoned. That limits you from doing a lot of things you could normally do in a non-abandoned mode. But the expeditions milestones provide everything you need.
Did they change the reward for the Forgotten Quarries milestone? I only get credits…
Aren’t you supposed to get the plan for the bone display?
You can also obtain the plan for any of the bone displays for 8 salvaged tech bits you can dig up from the ground on any planet on the Anomaly. So if you didn't get those plans it's not much of a problem.
Oh good. I was worried I would have to get a ton of those and make my way down a tree of other items first.
Nah, the bone displays have their own tree. You only need one and the fist in the tree is one of them.

Less than six days left on the expedition. Waiting for a patch is not wise at this point and might not come in time. At this point if you run into any bug deal with it and if you can't just restart the expedition to make sure you get it done on time.
Yeah I’ll submit a report but I’m at the finish line. I have maybe 30 minutes every few days to play. I’m finishing while I can. Thanks guys
was tryna get to a prebuilt fishing spot lol
I don't expect anyone to wait for a patch. but it should be reported nonetheless
The expedition will give you the parts to build a corvette and pre-packaged aqua-jets...install aqua-jets in corvette, land on water and fish from the exit ramp...you'll be protected from environment hazards and be able to fish safely.
I just finished the expedition, that was one heck of a journey
Congrats!
Here is cords for the deep one
Those coordinates are not good. Only 712u depth there, the milestone requites depth of 1001u. The rendezvous landing spot is good. When the milestone for hitting rendezvous 5 triggers you are at the surface of depth of overr 1000u. Get a bit away from your corvette, place the Nautilon bay and dive straight down.
I swam up for a bit
huh didn't know there was another expedition already
not but I joined his game and it was ready to take me in
Six days left on this one. It's not difficult.
couple days i Did it with help with this discord
you can't rernu an expedition from the same save file. it migt have started a new save for you
You can only play it once from the main save file but you can create new saves separately to play the expedition on and there is no limit on how many times you can do that. The only limit is the expedition end timer...once that ends, that's it.
Tips on fighting the spawn of arcadia?
Spawn close to shore so you can walk around on ground, keep moving sideways in a semi circle back and forth because the small floating creatures lock on to your location and dive into you but if you move they always miss. Beyond that ignore the small spawn and focus on destroying the main boss.
How do you find a system that has the infested worlds been searching and nothign
If I am at the end of the expedition is it known if it's best to sell off high value items vs keeping them in inventory for more rewards?
worm babies? rend. 3 system and planet ("giumf")
Sell. I don't think you're getting better value when the game auto sells whatever you don't bring back to main save.
yeah u gotta kill 5 or whatever
same thing, but if you want to make sure, sell
how tf u find that
go to space station and tp there if you already left the rend 3 system
also, type !faq-biomes in #nms-commands , see infested subtype synonyms - finding a suitable planet for that milestone was just a matter of keeping a lookout for one that was suitable ("boiling doom", scorched)
Thank you! I managed to defeat it anyways, I found a good strategy was just to hide underwater - You'd pretty much only take damage when the siren shot at you and you could avoid all the tentacle beasts
Breach I found a juicy grub abd squashed it. Killed a queen? and a couple three offspring. I shoulda killed more offspring then her?
It dint complete
killing the brood mother was not needed, just squashing the grub
you're out of combat now?
tyvm was about to find an abandoned bldg. Cheers
😄
finally found a building to find eggs to activate the biological horrors. took hours. killed 5 and they ran away
now time to look for hours for another building
stand on roof, shoot one egg, shoot some biohorrors. they despawned? shoot another egg, shoot more horrors... you onnly need 16
if that didn't work... to find buildings fly low and scan from time to time, maybe every 300-400u, look for the white hoiuse icon, some will be junk but many will be buildings, they will hav eeggs, you can do the same trick
there's 4 kinds and they are on certain anomaous planets in purple systems, there's such a planet in rend. 5 system
for me, I selected the milestone in whatever phasethat was, set galaxy map to currentmission, let the game guide me to a system with a giant paw print icon, (2 jumps), then in the system I saw a player base marker "floating critters here" so I did not have to chck all the planets
ok thank you
yw
🙏
Can we build bases in this one?
yes, you get the base computer pretty early on
I can't find the blueprint for the distress beacon thing
To find corvette parts
I finished the expedition
It should be in expedition rewards with
quicksilver synthesis companion
but it's not?
is the blueprint in like, the corvette upgrades part or
Hmm it keeps saying previous construction found and it won’t let me build. But also I don’t see any bases in the quick menu
Thought it might’ve been disabled for this one
You can start a new save or start from the anomaly in your main save
The anomaly had a terminal between the quick silver vendor and the big old mission cube
Yes it’s in the menu
Under the mode selection
Survival, Creative etc
Further, just wanna check that no one else can buy ship upgrades at the anomaly?
I’d add economy scanner to the list of tech to bring for this one. That run back at the SS is not it
so you don't have the option to report a base? even if you don't see a specific name
you can buy from the construction research temrinal (no npc needed) and the synthesis lab ( no npc needed) and that's it
If you're talking about the Debris Scanner it's in expedition only and i never saw it outside of that even for blueprints; you can make them in the expedition and bring them out but that's about it.
If you need to find Corvette parts you only need to find a Planet or Moon with Salvageable Scrap in the resource list or trade and buy parts at the corvette terminal in space stations.
if you want it in game as a option contact HG and let them know
Thanks!
No i didn’t
It was in the RV V planet but I was 1200u away from the site
I’ll look too buy them there thank you!
well I have run into player bases well away from the rend. sites... anyways, I would just move and try again
oh and uh also... run into any more weird issues, turn off multiplayer, it's pretty broken in the expedtion
I saw that in the pins lel
I turned it on after RV II I think
mmm might wanna just leave it off, honestly
That’s probably a good idea
Yes, or at the anomaly from an existing save
how to find purple planet?
purple system? the rendezvous systems kinda all are. what are you trying to get done?
Oh it just said purple star or planet let me look
Sorry that may have ben in a search. Forgive. I don`t see it in Exp
Purple star systems. You need the Atlantid drive to access them, which the expedition gives you early. If the planets say they have Quartzite when scanned from space you know you're in the right system type if you need confirmation but I mean...they are purple on the galactic map. They're not exactly hard to spot. And they all either say Dissonant or Gas Giant in the galactic map too.
the player definitely has the drive, they've been progressing along in the expedition, well along in the phases...
can someone help me do the Jellyflesh milestone
are you having trouble catcing the spawn of arcadia, or killing the jellyfish?
catching the jellyfish. i cant find water deep enough to catch it
select the milestone,go to shore, no bait, no nothing, just stand and fish. but you do have to have the milestone selected
shallow water is just fine for this
oh
enjoy the boss fight!
thanks! i just caught it
and now the pew pew begins...
i'm having troubles finding these crystal sulphites on this gas giant. Says reach a planet with water (followed the pin to the gas giant) but not seeing any waters to dive in, or these crystals. Just crystalized helium really
you don't want to be on the gas giant, no. umm in that system, see if any of the other worlds look like they have water from space.
you know what, i got that mixed up with the previous one about the gas giant. I had to re read it again, thought i was going crazy. Okay, ill look around for water planet now
There it is in Exp Friends in something places?
Friends in Odd Places. Anomo;ys floating creatures
I will check pinned
oh. yuo want the r5 system, there's a planet there which has them
and that planet' sname is indeed in the pins 😄
tyvm
Is this a new expo?
Cause I went to the expo console and I’ve already done it with the milestones and stuff
If I’m wrong anyone know how I can do the new expo?
Breach? what's the last milestone you see?
It’s the one where you make a corvette
Like you can’t fix your ship you have to make a corvette
the previous expedition
Breach is new
did you completely exit the old expedition?
Yes I have
ps4 should have the new expd. try restarting the console?
I’m on ps5 buddy I need to change my role
I got one recently lol
I’m chalking the exp console now
oh! ps5 definitely has it... seeing as I play on ps5 and completed it 🙂
check for updates (what patch are you on?) too
any time
Simple mistake made the biggest of problems LMAOO
we all do it. no worries
example: me (2k hours player) on an expedition: omg I need condensed carbon. can't mine it, no adv mining laser. welp I will just run from one cargo drop to another hoping to find red boxes that have it. (30 minutes later) welp that took way too long. wait what? I can make a portable refiner? d'oh!!
brain farts, the bane of gamers everywhere
I’ve been playing for ages too, I just forgot, or they might’ve changed it
I thought it had an auto clear
I think you always had to pick up your stuff, but it doesn't matter. you got there in the end
Yeh lmao, this time I didn’t do it off instinct 😭😭😭
Thank you again
Whats the weirdest fauba u guys have seen
First day playing and i saw some shit that looked like tumbleweed but it was tbr color of a skeleton
I've probably seen them all. but the transparent ones are something else, for sure. and who doesn't love the farting flying fish?
I don't want to spoil anything for you so I'll stop there (and won't post any pics either)
I've adopted one of those on some save or other
They look creepy
I like 'em.but there's definitely some creepy things out there
Just got the game just now. Would it be better to do a non-expedition save first or just hop right into the expedition?
get some play time under your belt first, so you understand basic game mechanics
I know this expedition is only running until Nov 6 but trying to learn the basics of the game and be smart and efficient at an expledition which has different conditions than normal gameplay at the same time, I think that's too much
Ah alrighty then.
On Nov 6 the rerun of this year's expeditions will begin (we think) and you should be able to jump in then and catch up.
Have u guys ever seen the penis fauna
Does it take a while to learn the basics? I've been watching some videos of people doing the expedition
Be ware some of the fauna look fucked up
yes I would say so. there is a lotgoing on in this game...
put 10-12 hours under your beltin the main story andyou'll have seen a bunch of it
Well I guess I'll be doing that then. Thank you!
Is it ok to be scared playing this game
I cant get over this fucked up scary looking fauna i saw on google images i hope i never run into
if it doesn't make the experience bad for you, sure
I hope it wont
If u look up scary fauna no mans sky on images u may find what i saw in like 20 seconds
Almost below the animal with funny looking teeth
you'll find some beauties too though
Really
almost did a snap adoption of one today, then reminded myself companions do not carry over form expd save
one of the blob family I presume
Yep
there are definitely some not-quite-so-family-friendly elements in here
though they dtop short of being r rated or anything
enjoy, and no rush, take your time and explore around!
Ty
Ill let u known which galaxy im in when i play
I was on xhatlia when i started
ah, which star system, you mean
Yes
there are actually different galaxies but you are likely in Euclid
all regular saves start there, unless you joined a friend who was somewhere else
Probably in eculid
checking out for the night, safe travels everyone!
wat......
never mind i apologize for ping have good day
Where do I get wiring looms in this expo all sations are fucked
in every SpaceStation is a trading terminal .. where you can buy some
Even the broken space stations?
Take the ramp on the right side .. the ramp at left side leads to a teleporter
Okay thanks
for the survey moons around a gas giant mines just 3/5 and do u have to the same system or can u switch?
nvm
Hello 👋. Are you able to swap your multitool to your main save at the end of the expedition? I picked up some lovely new upgrades I'd like to take home 😁 (returning player and I don't remember lol)
wheres the relic world?
yes
Should be a dissaonant (spelling fails me lol) planet 😉...but haven't got that far so....I found relics on that type before the expedition 😉
thank you :D
does it have quartzite?
yeah
that should work
do i refine it?
yes
oki thx
np
Didnt know I missed exp 19…. How can I upgrade the tech spaces on my korvet?
It will..... underground in a cave
so where is the galactic trade terminal in these space stattions?
A planetary anomaly is good enough for anomalous compagnion?
Running up to the two walkways on the spac tation its the one on the right 😁
There are no walk ways
just an endless corridor of dark corvette stuff
You're on the space station (spac tation)?
At the sides where the basic ship should land
Yes, the one in the expedition
Ok run to the end and there will be two walkways either end....its quite the journey...keep going 😅
On the left one will be a teleporter and search pods etc. On the right walkway (through the tunnel) is the trade terminal
Which phase are you on? I wanna know if I should buy all the cursed dust 😅
Walkways left and right 😉
Much obliged
is there a system near the expedition path with a derelict without enemies in it? or with only a few jellyfish? I hate derelicts but have to do it for the expedition
I have finished the current expedition and have gathered lots of corvette parts along the way, and other stuff but I've been told they are easily replaceable, how can I bring back most of these corvette parts on to my main save? Is there a spreadsheet or method to maximize profits, stuff etc when ending an expedition?
Nice i have 900 hyperdrive range compared to 100 yesterday 🤣🤣🤣
Storm whirlwind’s are so annoying how can u get out of it ????
just let the tornado spit you out, save your jetpack
yooo i can’t finish the friends in odd place ??? Already adopted 2 flying companions on dissonant world in purple system
I found an anomolous one but i cant pet it
So, i just realized that despite playing with disabled multiplayer, i can still see other people's bases, it's just that they dont appear when you try to navigate on or to a planet
Is there a way to make those bases appear when we're flying around?
I see there are based when i look a planet info in discovery but i can’t see anyone lol
Still wondering if there is an easy derelict in any specific expedition system or near them
Anyone ??
According to the pins:
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.
@cloud marten another thing you could do would be (see attached images) cc @snow bear
going to try and find one today
afaik, the other player base icons will appear, but only when close enough. you'll notice that sometimes, when aiming at a planet and holding the pulse engine buttons, the aim reticle will slightly realign itself automatically, as if it were locking on to a specific marker.. but there's no marker shown - yet. there will be, once close enough
Yh but i can’t get to rdv 5 tho
you'll get there later
you can skip friends in odd places for now
I see, thanks
Yh but it says i need to too that to do the derelic one
also remember that any uploaded base in the system would be visible in the station teleporter (save+reload to refresh teleporter list)
and you can leave the derelict freighter milestone for later too
But i found a systeme according ro the game
neither of those two are mission critical
yes, the milestone itself leads you to a suitable system, but wont mark the planet
e.g.
What can i do then?
@cloud marten you'll find that sometimes the devs do this: a suitable planet in a different rendezvous system, possibly ahead of us still. if this milestone was mission critical, i.e was absolutely necessary to progress past phase 3, then you'd have do to it now
move on to phase 4
remember to visit stations of rendezvous systems
then phase 5
in rdv5 do friends in odd places, then the derelict, and done
Oooh my bad ahahah i just had to choose the timestap4 milestone 🤣
yep yep
Silly me silly me
we dont necessarily have to do all milestones in order, but some of them might be dependencies of another, or are best done in order (e.g the timestamp milestones per phase; should never try doing timestamp 5 w/o having done timestamp 4)
Why hell i keep getting yanked 5000u for the ship manifest when i’m in the space wreck
Turn off multiplayer
Thx
Can you bring back Emergency Signal Scanners from the expedition? They're sold far cheaper than 5mil units in the abandoned space stations inside the expedition
But I wanna know if I can bring them back to the main save via the expedition terminal before I buy them
Which one is the relic planet in rdv5 system?
I'll try Aipando, the Icy Ruin planet
I never done expeditions, but I started the breach expedition the other day. It’s pretty cool. Just from the looting aspect, I regret not putting the atlas pass in the items slot before I started the mission. 😐
Also I’m a single player, but man it’s awfully quiet with no one around 🥺
yep
and i have yet to do the mandatory derelict run in the expedition
I didn't even think about bringing an atlas pass with me, that would have helped
atlas passes re overrated imo, they wouldn't have bought you much of anything.
yes you sure can bring them back, the price is right to stock up on them here
It would let me access the locked rooms in the space stations
That could have been helpful
It's no biggie
they will have cargo drops (not all that interesting) and atlas lore (also not all that helpful). the loot boxes in the teleporter rooms you can alread get to, those are much more helpful. things to sell that are quite valuable, the occasional warp hypercore (!) and some low level upgrades you can use or install/dismantle for components like chrom metal or wiring looms, very handy indeed
as you no doubt found out, that's the right planet. btw the pinned messages in this channel have tips about where/how to do different milestones, including that one. you might want to take a look, lots of good info in there.
Tell you what, these last 2 fauna for phase 5 are quite hidden or elusive lol
check the discovery tab to see if it says something about where or when they appear (like "diurnal" = daytime only)
Thank you for the Diurnal tip, didnt know that. Its night time right now for that one, but these other 2 are ground so im staying on the grounds spots and having issues finding ones i havent found already
ah the rare ground, if you don't see them after a minute or so where you are, go 300 u away, wait a minute fror new things to spawn in where you are, check. repeat until you get them
How did you get chromatic metal on the starting system? There are not stellar metals there!
Quartzite is a stellar metal
Quartzite refines into chromatic metal
oh really? sorry, didn't know that. Thanks guys!
No worries, common question from those who haven't been to purple systems before
Where can I get copper emeril indium and the other stellar metals
No way
if you want those you need to go to yellow, red, green, blue star systems. sometimes buried caches will drop emeril or indium, don't remember about copper/cadmium. you can sometimes get cadmium out of installed upgrades if you dismantle them
Thanks
i'm on a marine world and can only get to a deptph of 500, but it wants me to go to 1001u, any tips?
get well away from large land masses (really, well away from anyland masses if possible) and try again. if you have the fishing rig,you can cast and see how deep the ater is at a spot without going down there, move on if it's not deep enough
how long is it til the expedition ends?

in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam
I should do my daily announcement
ok folks, this is your last weekend you can play the expedition! it ends in five (5) days so get organized and get it done!
Help, I am landed on purple planet, Nasuola-Wase, i went to LeDalto and loads of animals, I tried twice to get a flying one, how to make sure i got a flying one, they all seem to have a green + but i don't know i you can selecting the green one and detect it is flying? Viable life signs detected on nearby planet, does it mean i am on the wrong planet again?
@indigo falcon thx i got to 800 and tried to dig but then i get to unpassable terrain
are you trying to do "friends in odd places" milestone?
Yes
you could try going to the station teleporter, save+reload to refresh base list, and then try to find a base that has "1001u" in its name for example
Guys i don’t get it i got the spawn of arcadia but i cant finish the jellyflesh mileston
@remote thunder i got it appreciate it
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.
what seems to be the issue?
did the boss spawn?
No
where did you release the fish? were sentinels shutdown on a planet? do you have multiplayer enabled or disabled?
@remote thunder Thanks, i am going to Gashi 69/B4 and try that
A giant worm appeared tho but i don’t if that after or before i catch it
Oh wait the game gave me a tip
Well i just died so i gotta do everything again…
Hi! Will there be an expedition 20 redux later this year?
should yes
Ah nice! I sadly don't have time to do the expedition now. But the new atlas themed corvette does seems to be very cool
Idk if anyone had trouble with jellyflesh but if u go underwater the spawns can’t reach u and it’s easier to avoid the attack when u can use the waterjet
is the reward atlas corvette
or just parts you can get on your main save?
parts
and I need help with exp
I need help with the going 1k and 1 meter underwater
and resorces for the nat dock
see image:
oh
like i said in #nms-questions , you can also teleport to a base that says "1001u" in the station teleporter
and btw when I go to one it doesn show any 1001u stuff
goto teleporter in rendezvous 2 system, Konamis
nvm
space station tp work
I was using space ANOMONLY tper
lol
im waiting for it to download
i need to tame an anomalous floating creature, how do i get close enough if they fly?
what is the timestamp 4 system name?
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 <#nms-expedition message>
see <#nms-expedition message> - if you black holed away, teleport back to latest rendezvous system on your list
if a player base doesn't download, they likely didn't upload it to hg servers, try another
Finished the expedition, is there anything I should farm there before ending it?
the only thing i can think of is the derelict corvette locators
you can't craft them once you exit, and there's no other way to force them to spawn
they can spawn as random encounters (i think?) but those are obviously not a super reliable method
Are they worth it though for a couple of corvette parts? Salvage scrap is faster
if you don't have purple systems unlocked on your main save, you might want polished stone for settlement stuff
polished stone can be gathered from non-purples too
the planet that my first ever settlement is on was converted into a ruined planet when that update hit
and i know that settlement isn't in a purple system because they didn't exist then
I should probably check all my bases and see what's going on, it's been a minute
Literally spent over an hour yesterday looking for a ruined planet, didn't realize theyre only found on purple planets. But luckily someone left a portal code on the wiki for one so now im good on polished stone
they aren't only found in purple stars. if they're more common there i haven't noticed, but they can be found in any star system
just gotta look for a planet with the descriptor "ruin" / "ruined"
Ah, well yeah I had no luck at all until I found that portal code
also of note is that you can still visit the expedition systems after you leave, so if it's just some planetary resources you're worried about, you don't have to stay in the expedition to farm them
those systems aren't there just for the expedition, they exist in the regular game mode too
What do you think about farming some derelict freighter scanners?
they're more common in purple systems yea (in general)
are they easier to get in the expedition?
they can be visited but if they are purple star systems and you haven't unlocked them on the given save, apparently you cannot go there (meaning that bases you put there in expd mode suddenly become unavailable)
Think you can craft them, unless I'm thinking of the corvette ones
you craft the corvette ones
the freighter scanners, afaik, are primarily gotten from that one guy on the anomaly and from the scrap dealer at space stations, neither of which are an option during the expedition because...abandoned
I feel like everything wasn't downloaded to the HG or watever system
cause everything I tried
no result.
what are you trying to do exactly?
do the phase 2 1k and 1 underwater milestone
im trying to tp to a base that coul.d help me
you need to get to 1000 deep right?
oh that one sucked, lmao. some people found a spot right away, and others were like me and couldn't find it on the rendezvous planet and so spent some extra time warping around to find a different ocean planet
i went to where i could only see land in far off distance around me and i went down
i tried following the coordinates in the pins but always found myself turned around
these instructions for using planetary cords might help: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Planetary_coordinates if you decide to go that route
that page makes it sound a little more complicated than it actually is. the gist of it is that, since you can see your current coordinates with your analysis visor, you can walk around a little bit to determine which direction to go by comparing your current coords to the ones you're referencing
i'm a terrible navigator, and so i gave up on that pretty quickly
it's simple, just tedious, and i'd get bored on the way and find myself distracted and then completely off track
really wish you could see those coords somewhere before landing, that'd make it a little easier
fr fr
but, i didn't earn that milestone in the rdv2 planet, i ended up just finding somewhere else
i don't remember if it was a different rdv system or if i just found it by warping around purple stars at random
Hey there, ive been searching for like 20min how to entierly destroy the corvette for que quest ? I can't find what i have NOT done (i actually destroyed 2 pieces w/ my gun that's all)
Is the rendezvous 5 supposed to be super far from the black hole exit?
yyyyeah just warp back to the rdv4 space station, lol. or to any rdv space station.
which quest is it? you never have to destroy acorvette. if you mean looting the derelict corvette, use scanner, find icon that looksl ike buried tech icon in hud, it will be on a tiny little piece floating aways from the two big parts of the wreck, go there, interact, done
How do i finish the pet quest i cant find a floating one
there's a suitable planet in the rend 5 system, check pins in here for more info
Ig it is that one yeah, ill try to find that right away 🙂
5 days to go, so get on it!
Yeyyy got it thanks you alot 🫶🏻
Do I need to synthesis my multi tool and starship on my primary save? Or once I hit end will it transfer over? I ask because it's asking for 1179 nanites and I only have 1984 so id hate to have to pick the multi tool or corvette
if you want them you must copy them for nanites
The coordinates do show on one of the info panels in your starship as long as you are in atmosphere, usually under the name of the person who discovered the planet.
Dang… been away for NMs for a few months and forgot how to play lol
so i went to an atlas station i guess and a sphere i talk to says atlas interface but then i only have option at the end leave, i dont see other paths in the station. what am i missing?
dont need to be interacting with atlas stations for expedition 20 anyway, and there's no way to run the atlas path in expedition either
oh ok
Unsure if this is what you mean, but you are able to see your current coordinates from the cockpit of your ship when flying in atmosphere
Not all cockpits are created equal, thus some you see them clearly, others they can be obscured.
What’s a “surge battery”? Is this a new thing to use the Signal booster?
I wish they added cities
settlements are already a huge load on existing platforms (and not all platforms support them)
surge battery was an item they introduced in one of the past expeditions, but seems that this time they didn't add the blueprint or gave us any premade. basically, its use is tied to milestones that required a specific target
yeah, expeditions can be done in a few hours - hi Asta 🤗 
i brought nothing with me
wish i had seen that video before starting it haha
curious i just picked up aeron parts, after i am done with expedition anyway to retrieve those?
aeron parts, unlocked by phases and final expedition rewards, are unlocked account wide - you can just claim them from the quicksilver shop in main save(s)
k
Not having much luck with hunting down tendrils - which rendezvous system are they supposed to be in, or what exactly am I looking for on the galaxy map? not seeing any markers for current mission on either the map or the system list
... apparently the mission is bugged while in space or on your ship, because it just started tracking when I left the ship on a planet just now ...
Is the expedition timer actually 5 days?
Thought i would still have 2 weeks time or something
On this new expedition is it normal for sentinel ships to be all over your a$$ in the first system you wait to?
- 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](#nms-expedition message).
yeah, devs shortened it
nope
Hmm I must have some how done something then..
I flew into the abandon space station and they were still waiting on me when I flew out?
One more question did they need the amount of “salvageable scrap? “
Been hunting and only found 2 ?
Personally if they did it good make it harder to build a corvett
One more question did they

not that i'm aware of, remember that 1) there's a milestone that rewards all the needed parts to build your corvette for the expedition; 2) planets with salvageable scrap are available in rendezvous systems
seems to be plenty of salv scrap around from my recent gameplay
Any advice about what to bring along for the expedition? The pinned tips post doesn't have any tip about that
(Also, the "do it offline" is still valid?)
5 solar mirrors, 5 quantum computers, "some" chrom metal (or you can jus tmine and refine quartzite, couple of deposits should cover it), maybe a fewwarp hypercores and/or a good hyperdrive upgrade
and yeah multiplayer breaks things so don't turn that on
Alrighty, thankies
other people might add more to that list, I brought nothin' and it was ok but I know how to shorten the grind for some things
It's more I took my time before starting, so want to clear it asap and not risk failing to complete it
fair
(Also I really need to work on my main save Corvette, hadn't built one yet)
look at some video guide then, there's some milestones that autocomplete if you bring items, though some no longer do
the corvette you build in here does well enough
you can also bring some runaway mold to have nanites so you can buy in your main save's ship
tbf having that option is kinda broken lol
true. but if you want to save time, that's another step you can take
story of this game pretty much
lol
it has to be a Corvette or any ship works?
you could (I think) bring something else but some of these milestones cannot be done from any other ship type except the corvette
Will have to build one there then
yes, it's a milestone in fact
you're given the basic modules etc
oh, uh you migh twant to look at the pinned messages in here, some good info about this expedition
yup, I checked them
Man this sucks…. I’m still getting the bug where I can trade for a part and get the trade then I never receive it in my inventory… even though I have tones of room 🤬
normally I try to go blind, take my time and enjoy expedition
got multiplayer off, just to check?
yes, from main options menu
This is my first expedition, but I'm just doing it on fresh save and I'm enjoying working through the milestones
hehe, my very first expedition done
and i have a question now, im i able somehow move my ship and stuff to main game and start main story?
@torn vessel If you started from a fresh save it will convert to normal as soon as you close it out at the expedition terminal or the timer for the expedition expires it will do so automatically.
ah, yeah, first time playing a game, got it few days ago, start in expedition
as i can see see i already convert save to main game :)
I'm in Atterius (Rendezvous 4) and I can't find the blackhole to complete the milestone. How do I locate it? Been flying around for ages now
i use a random one, not in that system
Okay but that doesn't really help me right now
warp away and warp back, you'll be placed near it. OR...
Ok nice thanks
I still need help with the nat submarie 1k underwater milestone
first person view, use navigation thingie with planet,s look for the icon that's like apurple circle/spiral thing
I pretty much have everything else in ms2
anyone know where i can find deep water around this gas giant?
to harvest crystal sulphite
don't need deep water, hallow will do, see if any planets in the system has water (check from space)
ye im at a planet with woter
rendezvous 2 works for this milestone. Just find an island in the deep water and around the shallow areas are loads of crystal sulphite rocks
i was afraid of that. see if i can track down that planet
Probably doesn't help this time but for future reference I always find it helpful, during expeditions, to put a base computer down at each rendezvous site to make it easy to jump back and forth
all the system names and planet names for rendezvous are in apinned post in this channel in case that helps
@slow cobalt good idea thanks
To doublecheck before I start, is this the multiplayer I need to disable, right?
I got a question i’m stuck at the third phase of the expédition 6th challenge could someone help me please 😓
what's the miloestone name and how are you stuck?
The Wiens challenge I visit 30 soldat system and there is no planet with it even the the third meeting one
Is there a reason this expedition muzzles your text chat? lol
uh huh, for the vibe(all allone in this abandoned sector)
fair enough
this is for the worm babies? "tendrils"? r3 planet giumf has them. if you don't see the icon in the hud (red diamond, white curved worm) then try 300 u away, wait and see. if after a few tries still nothing, wait for a giant worm to come from the planet surface, see where it geos down, go there. also: multiplayer off
Yes exactly the hud can’t find a single one of them on the planet i’be tryed many time 😓
you have multiplayer off? and are close to the surface in ship when you look? and it's definitely giumf planet?
It’s on
abandoned indeed xD
turn off. warp away, save-exit-relaod, warp back, try again
So the Debris Rangefinders are a one time craft thing?
Holly hell this is allot of grind…
Good I’ll try thanks
could keep an eye for exotic worlds with gold and/or silver deposits, if you are crafting solar mirrors etc from scratch
Are debris range finders going to be in the main game or are they expedition only (like the portable teleporters we had in the previous exp)
I keep running into bugs.. still same bugs and glitches I had months ago dang it
I guess expd only
you can use in the base game but not craft
It worked thanks a lot 💪
when does expedition end?
I will not be able to play the game for a while and I don't want to miss it

Should be easy. I completed it in a few days.
If it's any consollation I just started it today. I'm on the final milestone and it's taken me about 2-3 hours
yeah but I only have tomorrow to do it
and tomorrow is busy too XD
well I can speedrun it in 2 hours I believe
Only 2-3?
hmm..
Guess I can pause my NMS break for that.
Ends in 5 days, didn't realize that until a friend told me about it.
Is Freighter supposed to be all empty in this expedition? i landed my ship on two so far and they're all devoid of any crew
there are no npcs on this expedition anywhere
everything’s empty, it’s in the abandoned game mode
Are the portable research stations part of the base game or are they expedition only?
as long as you’re ok at avoiding interceptors you can loot the freighters
Wondering if I should craft each one before I finish the exp
they are part of the base game
actually lemme thin kabout that, I saw them in utopia (?)... it depends which ones these are
no i think these are thestandard ones, yeah part of the base game

I know nothing of what happens in this exped but Im planning to clear it in one sitting as usual, is it difficult?
nah
milestone rewards have got your back basically
did you do Adrift, back when that was running?
Oh dear my nickname's still an update or two behind lmao
yeah
this won't be anything harder. no npcs, some grindy bits, you'll be fine
got it
Oxygen cluster just east of the ship at the start. Noice.
so this mission is telling me to find a relic world but i do not see anything on planets that day ruined, abandoned, or relic
Phase 5:
- Forgotten Quarries and Grave Robber, there's an "Icy Ruin" planet in Timestamp V system that also has Ancient Bones.
i got a icy ruin, totally missed that
gotta get polished stone
i guess i need to kill the vigilant stones to get those?
Question: how you do the shipbreaking step? I'm using the wreck finder, destroying the things that show up when I scan with C, but not getting the mission done
polished stone drops from ruined like rocks
need to get the data log
it'll be floating nearby
Oops! Only 4 days left to do the Expedition! I left it too long.
How difficult is this?
it's easy enough imo
keep mp disabled to avoid possible bugs still
remember to review milestone rewrads, even of milestones in phases ahead
