[placid flame]

so i assume everyone is at that part?

[signal wind]

Not sure the full mechanics of how many need to reach that point but yeah.

[left carbon]

Guys the current expedition is a new expedition or a rerun expedition?

[wraith junco]

Second half of exp time imo

[wraith junco]

Old one

[strange oracle]

are the rewards the same or different?

[wraith junco]

Diffrent than in og expedition

[signal wind]

List of upcoming redux just got posted. I wish the cursed was ran again. Annoying as it was that was also fun and challenging

[wraith junco]

[visual rapids]

Anyone else on GoG still waiting for the expe to go live?

[wraith junco]

Xbox is also waiting

[heady pilot]

I don't play the GOG version but GOG got patch 6.16 yesterday so it should already have the Beachhead redux. Did you update your game?

[visual rapids]

Of course. I guess it'll be like Breach, it took about half a day after Steam version before the expe got available on GoG

[solemn bane]

I assume this expedition ends the same way as the others, does anyone have the portal glyphs for the final planet? (not the rdv5 planet)

e: found it https://i.imgur.com/52PioAM.png

Just need a screenshot with the glyphs if you're on it.

[wraith junco]

[solemn bane]

(not the rdv5 planet)

[fringe agate]

Wait, it doesn't end on the RDV 5 planet?

[solemn bane]

It didn't in the others

[hot scaffold]

Is the expedition with normandy live now?

😮😮😮

[wraith junco]

Not out on all platforms tho

[hot scaffold]

PC

[wraith junco]

Its out on pc

[hot scaffold]

Ready to retreive the ship commander 🫡

[pastel scarab]

Is that normai i start expedition on ship?

[torn vessel]

yup

this one expedition starts on freighter

[pastel scarab]

oh ok i was thinking its a bug 😛

[misty plinth]

The catch 5 uncommon fish on and icy planet. do i need to go to 5 different icy planets??? I ask because i Have 6 Uncommon fish that i cought on the glacial planet near Rendevue 1 and the Mission says i only have 1 out of 5. so im confused

[heady pilot]

For Beachhead it is...and a couple other expeditions have done this over the years.

[solemn bane]

They need to be "icy" fish. The wording is bad.

[torn vessel]

you need to catch a specific ice fish
you probably catch bunch of "average can be fished everywhere" fish

[misty plinth]

Ya, id definetly say its worded wrong. since it says i need uncommon fish on a icy planet. which by that terminology ive done

[heady pilot]

No. The reason not all uncommon fish count is because there are any biome fish there too which can be caught in any body of water, those do not count.

[solemn bane]

And what's really funny is they've had the bad wording since the original fishing expedition and haven't fixed it.

[heady pilot]

Not sure they even can fix this. If any biome fish start counting how would the game know what biome you caught them in? It is what it is, and this one isn't even a difficult milestone. No legendary or particularly difficult fish to catch.

[solemn bane]

They just need to fix the wording. Something like "Catch 5 uncommon icy fish on an icy planet." Easy.

[misty plinth]

Actually yes, Because the mission fails to say 5 uncommon fish of a frozen or icy nature. It says clearly and only 5 uncommon from a icy planet. I get what they were after for the mission. but its worded wrong. As it is currently written i have met those requirments. Now if the mission had been written properly like "Need 5 frozen or icy uncommon fish" from icy planet,. then no i would not have beet that requirment.

[brave sable]

If I get the Normandy, can I use it on other saves? Cos like, I already have the Corvette exped save I converted to single player and I wanna keep on using that

[solemn bane]

In the original fishing expedition I'm pretty sure the icy fish thing was the #1 question to come up.

[solemn bane]

Yes, claim it at the QuickSilver vendor.

[brave sable]

Peachy

[heady pilot]

Yes...all major expedition rewards can be claimed from the quicksilver bot on the anomaly.

[tulip spire]

Where specifically do i need to fish in phase 2? I caught several Class B fish on randezvous 2 ice planet, but it didnt count

[solemn bane]

They need to be uncommon "icy" fish

[tulip spire]

Oh okay
Thank you very much

[turbid vapor]

Why can't I buy the myth beacon?..

[torn vessel]

Community Research is too low, we have to wait

[turbid vapor]

So expedition is just delayed, I've got it...

[solemn bane]

Oh shit, that's gonna make doing the expedition offline kinda hard, lol.

I'm also understanding now why people didn't have the glyphs to the final planet, ha.

[heady pilot]

Community mission. When the bar above the qucksilver vendor is full you'll be able to buy it...so probably in a day or two at the rate things are going.

[mossy breach]

What's the reward for this expedition?

[mossy breach]

Did we finish the community research for the previous expedition? Breach? I didn't check

[torn vessel]

#nms-expedition message

[heady pilot]

The Normandy SR1 frigate.

[wraith vessel]

Do the expedition claimable frigates always have the same stats?

[mossy breach]

Thank you!

[celest portal]

Can someone tell me the System name were such a planet can be found

[remote thunder]

does the middle one say "airless" or something along those lines?

there's a dead biome planet ("airless" being one of the biome's synonyms) in rendezvous 2 system

[torpid dagger]

guys

[solemn bane]

I don't know why but that planet just looks absolutely disgusting to me.

[torpid dagger]

i have a lot of stuff from various expeditions that i can't claim, including stuff from the last one that I finished already

[remote thunder]

i thought it looked different and was midly interested by it

[torpid dagger]

Anyone know any workarounds for my issue?

[minor jackal]

report to hg

[solemn bane]

You're on PC so you can unlock any expedition rewards. Your account data probably got screwed up, it's just a plain text file. You can google how to do it.

[remote thunder]

i've seen 2-3 players reporting issues with this. do submit a bug report when you get a bit of spare time. if you're on pc, there might be something extra that can be done. side question: did you start and complete expedition 20 from an existing save, or from new save?

[torpid dagger]

new

[remote thunder]

thank you

@torpid dagger for example, is one of the rewards that you cannot claim the aeron starship trail? i assume it says available, but clicking on it does nothing?

[solemn bane]

Oh, I guess that's different from what I was thinking then

[celest portal]

What name does the Rendezvous 2 have i didnt go in the station

[remote thunder]

yeah that's why i snuck in there the "there might be something extra that can be done"

[remote thunder]

Blosal

[torpid dagger]

yeah

i don't want to have to start over to obtain it

what can I do

[solemn bane]

Probably just submit a ticket and wait til they fix the issue

[void grail]

Is the myth beacon unlocked yet?

[livid hornet]

What is considered an appropriate world for the ice planet fishing milestone? I found a glacial planet with water but catching uncommon fish there doesn't appear to count

[solemn bane]

They have to be fish specific to ice planets, they will have cold sounding names

[livid hornet]

ok, so the planet is appropriate?

[void grail]

@livid hornet there was a world that has a base called "Fishing Hut" that I used. Try to cast into the deepest part of the water you can

It was a Glacial planet I did it on

[minor jackal]

no

[solemn bane]

Yes

[minor jackal]

unless gunter is out of date somehow
#nms-commands message

[livid hornet]

thanks. I spent ten minutes catching, uncommon and rare fish. Will keep at it

[void grail]

O nice thanks! Didn't see that bot

[void grail]

I did the same thing. I was casting at the shore. When I went for the deeper water I starting catching them

[torn vessel]

https://www.nomanssky.com/2025/11/holiday-expeditions-2025/

[livid hornet]

thanks for the tip

[void grail]

I went through a lot of bait, so be prepared to have bad luck

[minor jackal]

idr if i did relics
or titan

[plain pike]

I did all of them already

[torn vessel]

Dam, i have to skip Corvette. Will be busy. :|

[gentle sparrow]

Woah Beachhead?

I can get the normandy from that one, right?

[minor jackal]

not the original beachhead

but ye

you get the normandy

[plain pike]

So there's different rewards for the beachhead redux? I did that one last year

[minor jackal]

it's the same as last year reward wise

[plain pike]

oh ok

[little torrent]

The reward is pretty nice

It's especially nice when starting a new save, when you don't have many frigates to work with.

[gentle sparrow]

Do I get the normandy for all saves?

[plain pike]

yeah

[torn vessel]

Yeah, its also already started

[gentle sparrow]

Nice

I'm on Xbox so it might take a day for me

[torn vessel]

Ah, possibly, yeah

[gentle sparrow]

I'll probably be lazy and bring as many supplies as I can

[loud coral]

question
in the current expedition when do we get the chance to retrieve our stuf from anomaly ?

once we start the expedition

im at the start and havent been able to summon the anomalh

[gentle sparrow]

Gotta warp at least once

That's the req

[loud coral]

ok got it thanks

[white perch]

Is there any point of doing the expedition again if it’s done already?

Also did they start with 2 vs 1?

[maiden glade]

i'm guessing the xbox game pass update is coming out late as usual?

[steep nimbus]

Sooooo are us xbox players not getting the expedition replay lmao

[minor jackal]

you still got time

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

[solemn bane]

I wonder why they keep reduxing Beachhead

[heady pilot]

You'll get it. Likely as soon as you get the 6.16 patch. Which should be today.

[solemn bane]

I'm not sure if it works for them, but try to keep popping them until you get multiple distress signals so that one has an npc and the other doesn't

[gentle sparrow]

It takes a day choomba

[heady pilot]

Go to the Nexus, if there is a mission to rescue a life-forrm, take it, if not the missions available change every 10 minutes real time.

[urban veldt]

Can I still bring supplies after I start the expedition? Is it too late?

[solemn bane]

Too late.

[wise meteor]

What kind of environments do I need to photo to get the achievement. So far, I done froze, scalding, barren, acidic and supercritical, and only got two of the three needed.

[ashen shore]

Expedition 2 redux:beach head is out

[solemn bane]

Which two

[ashen shore]

When I go to quicksilver rewards guy, it only shows 1 reward and no mass effect freighter. Maybe wait until more rewards are added because the update is too new?

You can see it in the anomaly and says 2 weeks remaining

[wise meteor]

I dont know which two worked, I only nocded that when I did the third nothing happened, I think it was frozen and scalding I did first maybe

[minor jackal]

dead
frozen
scorched

[wise meteor]

dead OK thx

I passed a couple of those because I didnt think no atmosphere would count as environment .... dont overthink.. dont overthink

[solemn bane]

Do you not have the milestone progress in the lower righthand corner of your screen? Airless should be the same as dead iirc

[wise meteor]

No I was doing it whilst looking for the 8 new systems

[solemn bane]

Yeah dead and airless are the same

[ashen shore]

Anyone know what is going on with new expedition? Only shows Historiographical Dosimeter as reward for expedition 2 but trailer shows mass effect freighter. Can someone please answer my question

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1gmwcl5/beachhead_redux_expedition_2_in_4_hours_full_guide/

[minor jackal]

do not trust in the quicksilver vendor

[solemn bane]

I think the community event needs to complete first

[ashen shore]

That’s a guide, step by step what to do on the expedition

Ok, weird how it lets me start it now if I want. I’ll wait a few days before starting

[minor jackal]

you can't even finish the expedition

you can progress up to phase 5 milestone 2

[ashen shore]

Ok, so maybe because it just released. Hopefully in a few days it will have the reward showing at the quick silver guy

Thank you, the whole trailer was about the mass effect freighter but don’t see it at QS vendor so will be patient

I’m on ps5 btw

[tiny lily]

Is it just me or is the expedition not out on xbox yet?

[solemn bane]

Don't think it's hit for xbox, according to everyone in this channel who has been mentioning it.

[grave mauve]

I heard beachhead is back.

Isn't breach still running though?

[earnest coyote]

Uncommon fish from ice world?

[minor jackal]

breach was cut short

[grave mauve]

Just like the cursed expedition huh?

Haven't they learned their lesson from that fiasco?

[earnest coyote]

Bro what are the chances of catching a rare fisg

[lavish stream]

What’s this about the Normandy thing?

It’s a new expedition?

[wraith junco]

Old/new one.

Normandy expedition was expedition 2

Today is N7 day ( mass effect thing)

[minor jackal]

and it originally ran years ago

[wise meteor]

Took me about 30 mins, in the right environment with no bait in shallow water

For the 5 uncommon ice fish you need

[quick orchid]

tfw the Normandy is your favorite frigate on the Citadel, but you can't get it because gamepass won't publish the update until days after it arrives for other stores

[pearl nacelle]

Does this expedition allow me to bring in a regular ship or is it Corvette only like the last one was?

[mystic bridge]

Perfect lonely island Xd

[ripe mist]

it's not pinned so I gotta ask

what to bring before heading in

[pearl nacelle]

Bump

[midnight willow]

oh that's so nice everyone's going to get a Normandy sr1 like the one I've had forever in a day

[pearl nacelle]

Is that a problem?

[midnight willow]

No it's just nice to see it come back also gives me hope that I'll be able to get a hold of some of the things I missed in other expeditions

[lavish stream]

What should I bring for the new expedition?

[charred flume]

hi guys

oh wait sorry wrong channel

[light plume]

yes you can use any ship

[ripe mist]

well the first walkthrough I found on reddit didn't recommend to bring anything so I guess I'll be rawdogging it

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1gmwcl5/beachhead_redux_expedition_2_in_4_hours_full_guide/

[earnest coyote]

Bruh i fished up like 8 uncommon fish in the snow world at rendezvous 1
Why isnt the quest taking it

[ripe mist]

or perhaps some basic stuff like carbons, irons, oxygens, etc

[wraith junco]

Check if u need to fish biome specific ones

[tough meadow]

Seriously thought the struggle is real to make first contact on this expedition!!!!!

[thick umbra]

it must be a specific** ice** fish

[solemn bane]

"It has to be ice fish" is going to be this expedition's "turn off multiplayer"

[minor jackal]

or the map 8 systems

that nobody else has mapped before

in the middle of euclid

[solemn bane]

lmao I can't believe they brought that one back. How tedious. Easy when you start the expedition in offline mode, though.

[minor jackal]

ye

[faint mesa]

That's a good one for when we have tips in the pins lol.

[earnest coyote]

Do i do something with the nip nip buds or should i straight up sell them

[minor jackal]

sell

[tropic sonnet]

I am so glad for these reduxs.... I need all of the first 7 expeditions... Today they have on #2... awesome

I never did them. I wasn't ingame at the time

[wraith junco]

Just jump few times in any dorection away feom expedition route. Then go back through teleportafter u found the systems

[solemn bane]

Or play offline 🤷‍♂️

[solemn bane]

Weirdly this is the 4th time they've run it, and there are some that still haven't been done after their original and redux runs.

[faint mesa]

Wait, really? I thought it was the third... ...wait...

• the original run
• redux in the same year
• redux with mixed rewards... last year?
• this one now.
  Is that so?

[solemn bane]

Yep

[faint mesa]

Ok, memory check: there was at least one that didn't reward the Normandy, is that correct?

[mystic bridge]

last one allowed ships

[solemn bane]

Nope

[silver night]

It would be really nice if the expedition went live on all platforms at the same time 🙄

[faint mesa]

...oh. Guess I need that appointment with a doctor after all...
Thanks. 😅
I have this fuzzy memory of people saying it was tricky to reward the Normandy again because, well, it needed a renewed partnership... but now I have no idea when I saw those discussions lol.

[torn vessel]

tbh that was pretty easy for me. I ask Polo for a black hole, ported and every single one i warp — counts for me

[solemn bane]

I only know this because I have to update my offline expedition replay site each time they add a new damn beachhead, and I have to make sure all the old ones work. The last planet is hard coded so I have to go there and update the portal glyphs/test for each old one 😩

[faint mesa]

LOL. Usually I'd say four times is a bit excessive, but nah. People want the Normandy, so it's ok.

[solemn bane]

I think this is the first one where they stopped you from buying the Beacon though. That new mechanic broke all the old ones as well so I have to come up with a workaround for it 😐

[faint mesa]

Oof.
Out of curiosity I might end up playing this one lol.

[minor jackal]

probably just wait for the community research

at 51%

[faint mesa]

At least it seems to be going quick

[tough meadow]

Seriously what’s up with me not beaing able to make the myth beacon so I HAVE to wait to complete the expedition!!!!???

[mystic bridge]

quick? It moved 1% in two days?

What actually progresses it?

[solemn bane]

In theory I would guess the Dosomethingmeter readings

[mystic bridge]

dosowhat?

[solemn bane]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Historiographical_Dosimeter

[spark vessel]

what to bring on the expedition???

[midnight willow]

Alright so I already have the Normandy from long ago but I am interested in the new Corvette pieces how does one start an expedition again it's been awhile

[solemn bane]

I don't believe this expedition has new corvette parts. But you start it aboard the anomaly behind the Nexus or you can start it from the new game menu

[spark vessel]

is the expedition in a abandoned universe?

[solemn bane]

No just the first system is abandoned

[spark vessel]

nice

anything spiecal i need to bring?

[livid hornet]

do the freighter rooms in the Beachhead redux look different than the ones in the regular game or am I going nuts?

[livid hornet]

mine wasn't. First system might be random

[solemn bane]

lol, I just came back to correct myself, the first system in the original one was abandoned, not this one. Playing 4 versions of the same expedition in one day is messing with my head, lmao.

[thick umbra]

#nms-expedition message

[livid hornet]

lol. understandable, then

I got a corvette part that I'm tempted to sell for cargo space

[static falcon]

Is the expedition with the SSV Normandy SR1 live?

[livid hornet]

depends on your platform

and I hear some required item might still be time locked (maybe?)

[livid hornet]

what's the parenthesized number represent?

[thick umbra]

just a buildnumber

[hardy bone]

Is the myth beacon a community thing, or is my game bugged?

[thick umbra]

community thing,

[hardy bone]

is there any way to progress without waiting?

[wraith junco]

Over 50% atm. So it should be done in 48h

Or faster

[frozen jewel]

aborting the frigate expedition doesnt award completions anymore? i think it used to but i guess they patched that?

[mystic bridge]

For a freighter expedition I found surprisingly low number of frigates to hire. Specifically,: zero so far <.<

[fair iris]

i mean, we do get a frigate, just do the missions with that, it should 2 star the missions which is all you need

[mystic bridge]

I have a supply frigate...

[fair iris]

rip

so its random, that sucks

[frozen jewel]

double trouble fleet

[fair iris]

but i saw some freighter fleets with hireable frigates on my way from 4 to 5, so they are out there

[frozen jewel]

i still need to buy a second one as well

[mystic bridge]

eh.. random is weird in this game. Right now I picked up an alien S-class MT. With 0 exposed SC slots

provided only remaining unopened slots are 6 to theright side, it gotta be good

[fair iris]

i just do the expedition with what they provide us, kinda unnecessary to farm gear

[blazing fossil]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@blazing fossil Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[rough parrot]

Woke up hopeing it would be on fucking xbox but nope

[blazing fossil]

58%

[fair iris]

so we seriously have to wait to finish the expedition?

😩

[livid hornet]

Maybe HelloGames is trying to teach us the virtue of patience (I get it, though... sucks to wait)

[solemn bane]

pff, good luck, imma hack my expedition config to finish it, lol.

[fair iris]

🤣

[livid hornet]

I'm only at the second set of milestones... after 5 hours of play, hehe. I may not need to wait.

[subtle ether]

Are the rewards on this expedition even good?

[livid hornet]

bunch of stickers and a Normandy. I'm in it for my trophy room

[subtle ether]

I kept seeing players with a ship line in the anomaly in the expedition yesterday when I played looked really futuristic and cool but no clue where they got them. But Normandy looks cool

[wraith junco]

• trail and cape i think

[solemn bane]

Fishing suuuuuuucks

[copper echo]

I loaded up some cargo and equipment for this expedition - where do I pick it up?

[solemn bane]

Same place you put it

[copper echo]

I put it in the place allotted before starting the expedition, when it asks if you want to add anything. Does it automatically show up in your inventory?

[cold tulip]

No, its there at the anomaly

[copper echo]

Perfect, thank you.

[solemn bane]

Done in 17 casts with mealworms. Dug a hole in the side of some steep mountainy thingy sticking out of the middle of the ocean. Not great not terrible.

[proven moat]

it goes much faster with the rare fish bait if you can make it

[solemn bane]

Did you get it in fewer than 17 casts?

[proven moat]

oh for sure

I started with mealworms but didn't make much progress (I caught 2 legendaries though..! and 1 rare), switching to spicy chum solved it, maybe 6 casts.

[solemn bane]

Your answer seems to indicate you meant to say "no" lol

[mild root]

Is the latest expedition avaible yet?

[solemn bane]

I can say with certainty, maybe.

It's out for PC for sure.

[mild root]

This I'm talking for Nintendo or other devices seeing the latest news ticker saying a cristmas one was happening?

Or a revisited expedition one that can be replayed?

[solemn bane]

Current one is a Beachhead replay, then it'll be replays of the ones from this year through til early next year.

[mild root]

I know that information I was coruios if they take some time to reach other devices etc

[opal wave]

in the catch fish quest, i have caught a lot of uncommon catches but it doesnt contribute, can someone help? im on a frozen planet btw

[rose veldt]

You have to catch only frozen biome specific

Not the ones which says : can be found anywhere

[twin pine]

i also heard/seen if you use terrian manip, and dig a deep hole it'll help too?

[solemn bane]

They'll look like this. I was casting into fairly deep water.

[rose veldt]

@opal wave

[final wave]

Expeditions are much too fun. I try to savour them for the feeling of adventure... I find it hard to understand some people would want to finish it as soon as they can

[remote thunder]

"found in icy and frozen waters" is the keyword

[twin pine]

yeah those are the guys you need

[lavish stream]

how do i get a hyperdrive in the expedition for my starship so i can access the anomaly?

[remote thunder]

complete and claim phase 1 "engage warp" milestone, click on a free ship tech slot

[torn vessel]

if you mean expedition for milestone in expedition, just run and cancel it, 1 frigate is enough

[minor jackal]

66%

[remote thunder]

wait a minute. "Times caught"??

has that always been there lol

[rose veldt]

Yeah 😅

From the beginning

[remote thunder]

geesh

😄

seriously lol

happens to everyone

[solemn bane]

bk out there not properly examining their fish

[remote thunder]

i swear, i looked at hundreds of fish - and i only ever read the description!

😄

[solemn bane]

You looked but you did not see

[bitter comet]

Hi y’all, qq, one of the milestones says discover 8 systems - sounds hard to me, longer the expedition runs, more people discover surrounding systems, thus meaning one has to travel further to discover new ones. Am I right? Or am I confused? TIA

[rose veldt]

It helps me with my legendary ones, to see how many times I caught them

[solemn bane]

Next time look at fish with your heart.

[thick umbra]

either use Black Holes .. or play offline for that mission

[solemn bane]

Meanwhile I may as well be looking for asteroid fields with my ass.

[minor jackal]

1. land on a space station near the expedition route and make a save
2. find a black hole
3. use it
4. return to the first space station via teleporter

once you have all 8 systems

[bitter comet]

Ok, thank you both, I’m right, but you have a proposed and workable solution. Nice.

[rose veldt]

Or leave it at the end

Like I did 😅

[bitter comet]

Sounds risky lol

[fair iris]

67% on the anomalous research

[limpid wave]

What up fam. Anyone willing to take me on an expedition? Ive played the game off and on for a few years now and have never done one

[median ember]

👀

[minor jackal]

probably tomorrow at 100%

if not today

[livid hornet]

what do we need to do for anomalous research? anomaly missions?

If so I can try some after work today

[wraith junco]

Do all milesstones that u can and wait untill it fills 100%

[livid hornet]

so it's not anomaly missions? shucks

[minor jackal]

i have done all up to getting the thing

from qs guy

[remote thunder]

hi, welcome to the server. think of an expedition as a time limited quest, subdivided into phases, and each phase has missions to complete, and rewards for completing them which often help into completing other milestones.

[fair iris]

on a side note

you can even skip the frigate missions by just canceling and recalling them, that counts, someone was asking that a few hours ago.

[minor jackal]

ye

[remote thunder]

yep, that has worked every time we've had this kind of milestone

that said, dont try to do it in starter system, will have no frigate fuel bps yet, warp out, you'll get freighter command mission then, 50/100/200 fuel tonnes bps for free

[minor jackal]

is the normandy any different compared to normal frigates except cosmetic appearance

[remote thunder]

you'll see that it is unusually strong at combat and exploration alike

[thick umbra]

And it takes no damage

[remote thunder]

yes, basically because it cant be boarded

just like the others, and living frigates

[prisma agate]

gotta ponder the fish

[heady pilot]

Not so much a mission anymore, the hint just said to go to the terminal to start expeditions, then the operator there complained at me about not having a fleet command room, but none of it was much of a quest. I just had to build a fleet command room and then interact with it when empty to be given the fuel blueprints. No quest that I could see...might confuse the flip out of new players.

[solemn bane]

While you were partying, I studied the fish...

[remote thunder]

what i was trying to explain was that:

• i built a fleet command room in the starter system
• i had no frigate fuel bps, and freighter command didnt start either. it's freighter command that rewards the 50/100/200 tonnes fuel bps, as well as the 200 tonnes x1 already crafted.
• freighter command only starts after warping once with freighter.
• without that, a player will have to use salvaged frigate modules to unlock frigate fuel bps

[torn vessel]

70%

[heady pilot]

Ah, ok. I didn't know that. I never would have thought to try doing frigate expeditions before warping for the first time lol. But it is worth coming right back to the starting system after you leave it because there's a lot of stuff you can do there. I did most milestones in the starting system, by the time I decided to leave it all I had left were the 5 rendezvous milestones and all the scrambled phase 5 milestones.

[meager sage]

Can you do the photographs in the first system? Its that and the chart new places one im havin trouble with

[heady pilot]

two of three...you need to find an airless world somewhere else. I took a Nexus mission to rescue a life-form and that auto-teleported me not another system, and that system had an airless world so two birds one stone.

[remote thunder]

do note that you can use 1 of the emergency charts to get the npc stranded pilot when the milestone is selected

[meager sage]

Damn. The airless world is the one i need

[remote thunder]

rdv2 system

[torn vessel]

for scorched photo - planet must have Solanium
for airless photo - planet must have Rusted Metal
for frozen photo - planet must have Frost Crystal

[remote thunder]

should must

[meager sage]

Shit... I dont think i went to the station for rdv2. Maybe someone has a base i can to 2

[remote thunder]

just warp again, teleport to rdv1 or 3

rdv2 system name is Blosal, you'll see it on galaxy map

[torn vessel]

fixed :)

im actually not 100% sure about Dioxite, not sure, will that one counts?

but frozen one prob the easiest to find

[remote thunder]

replace dioxite with frost crystal

that'll give you frozen biome, always

i didn't see dioxite on your list lol, my mind read frost crystal

[torn vessel]

great idea, yeah

[heady pilot]

Weekend mission is up and it's an ultra easy one, killing flora. Might as well do it on expedition save too to bring some extra quicksilver to the main save.

[remote thunder]

yeah, definitely, something to kill the time too

[torn vessel]

quicksilver missions gives more in expedition?

sorry, im a bit newb, started in expedition, so i had no chance to change my game normal <-> expedition

[static cave]

Howdy Y'all. I'm trying to do the assist quest in phase 2 and it says it is very distant and to reset it. I have tried resetting it several times and it still says the same thing. Any suggestions?

I have also logged out and back in, still the same result

[remote thunder]

nah, just that we can do weekend mission on multiple saves, and non consumable quicksilver purchases are unlocked account wide, and if one started from existing save, quicksilver merges back on finish

[remote thunder]

use a emergency chart with the milestone selected

[static cave]

@remote thunder Thanks, I will give that a try. Much appreciated

[torn vessel]

oh, til, good to know, thank you for info

[static falcon]

Hi everyone, I´m planning on doing the expedition on my main save. But will I lose stuff that I keep in my inventory, and what do I need to bring with me?

[heady pilot]

No but two things: 1) you can spend the quicksilver to buy none consumables and they will be free to claim on the main save OR 2) if you are playing the expedition from the main save, when you close the expedition the 1800 will be transferred into your main save...but you can do the weekend mission on your main save too...so you get the quicksilver from both on your main save.

[lavish stream]

do the uncommon fish have to be different species for it to count?

[rich aurora]

As far as I know, starting an expedition will generate a new save game, how will you trigger it on your main save?

[red bloom]

No, they just need to be specific to frozen planets

[rich aurora]

They have to be frozen-biome specific fish for them to count

[heady pilot]

No but they have to be ice biome only uncommon fish. If you catch any biome uncommon fish in icy biome those don't count.

[lavish stream]

Bet Ty

[finite scaffold]

I dislike whoever has the idea to turn off auto catch for the expedition

[static falcon]

you can start an expedition inside the space anomely, behind the nexus

[finite scaffold]

This game trolls the hell out of me for anything fishing related

[rich aurora]

Yeah, my bad, I've only just recently reurned to NMS, so I didn't know about that 🙂

[hollow zephyr]

I had finished Breach and it was giving me the options to copy the Corvette and multi-tool, but today I only have the option to start the new expedition. Can I still get those items? It was a big decision for me. That's why I took so long 🤣

[twin pine]

what we at on %?

[wraith junco]

78%

[twin pine]

uggh almost

[wraith junco]

79%

[narrow turtle]

If someone just started NMS, like I just started talking with Artemis, would I be okay in expeditions? Or will I get shwacked repeatedly?

[solemn bane]

Should be fine. May just be some googling or asking here for "how I do this?"

[wraith junco]

Just Need to know basic UI and mechanics and youre good.

[torn vessel]

i would suggest to play a bit in normal mode
its pretty easy expedition and you could always ask questions here, but its def require basic knowledge

[narrow turtle]

Thanks. Now....how do I do this?

[torn vessel]

also i started my first time in expedition and was completely lost :D

[narrow turtle]

JK Wing and a prayer...lessgo!

[solemn bane]

First, study the fish.

[cold hedge]

Hi, I'm a bit new to this, in terms of this mode, and I'd like to ask a question—it's probably a stupid question and the answer is probably in some FAQ—but do expeditions repeat? Are they just seasonal events that, once created and completed with rewards, will never return?

[cloud oriole]

they repeat occasionally

[solemn bane]

They are fomo events that sometimes return

The timing on them has sort of a pattern to it.

[fickle lion]

How do i get indium in expedition 2 for the temporal warp drive for the freighter if my regular ship doesnt have a warpdrive?

[solemn bane]

You'll get a hyper drive recipe for your ship from a milestone

And you can just learn it from the Anomaly if you're antsy

[fickle lion]

I see that but the problem is
The milestone says i need to warp lol

[solemn bane]

You can warp to a yellow system with your freighter

[fickle lion]

🤦 right! Damnit sorry thanks!

[gentle sparrow]

Hnm

Xbox have the re-run yet?

I want the Normandy lol

[cold hedge]

Okay, so #20 “Breach” may return along with the others? 😮
I'm mainly thinking about the reward, which is a ship from Expedition 17.

[solemn bane]

They will repeat soon, there is a schedule on the nms site

[cold hedge]

This Normandy? 😄 Which expedition had it? xd

[gentle sparrow]

Breach

The one being re-run rn

The Sr1 Normandy

[solemn bane]

Beachhead

But they do both start with a B

[gentle sparrow]

Oh

[gentle sparrow]

What one is the one being re-done?

Beachhead?

[solemn bane]

Right now Beachhead is on, yes

[gentle sparrow]

On Xbox too?

Or just PC until tomorrow?

[solemn bane]

In the coming weeks we will get Titan, Relics, Corvette and Breach repeats

[gentle sparrow]

Nice

I've only done corvette and breach

I only beat Breach tho

The pet reward for the corvette one seemed kinda... Lame imo

I get a robot tardigrade is nifty to some...

Not me tho

[solemn bane]

If I only wanted expedition rewards I probably wouldn't play expeditions, lol.

[gentle sparrow]

I like the adventure

But the rewards are why I do them

Cool base parts, skins, nametags, etc

I do also like the lore given

Like how the ships in the corvette one got locked down by the sents

So that's why corvettes get used instead

[rough parrot]

Im geting annoyed that its not on xbox yet

[gentle sparrow]

Same

Friggin MS and being slower than Molasses (which molasses has a top speed of 34 mph)

[limpid wave]

wat

[gentle sparrow]

Microsoft

[limpid wave]

no, top speed of molasses lmaoi

[gentle sparrow]

Yea

Look up the great molasses flood

Oh 35mph

[solemn bane]

That seems fast, for molasses

[narrow turtle]

When this baby hits 88 miles per hour you're gonna see some serious $#**

[gentle sparrow]

Yup

[gentle sparrow]

Yea

Suprising, right?

[hollow bloom]

I think there's a bug with the uncommon frozen fish task. Blue doesn't count only purple and gold

[lavish stream]

a volcanic planet doesnt count as scorched?

[lavish stream]

blue counted for me. all mine were blue

[solemn bane]

Nope

[lavish stream]

ah ok ty

[solemn bane]

It's only certain kinds of fish, not all uncommons will count

[hollow bloom]

The last 2 of mine counted but the first 9 didn't.

[maiden glade]

I just want the n7 ship. Is that apart of the expedition?

[cloud oriole]

yes

[maiden glade]

Damn. We still waiting for the update then

[minor jackal]

88%

[lavish stream]

dam a flame planet doesnt count as scorched

[solemn bane]

You'll want a planet with Solanium listed as the plant

[wraith junco]

90%

In few h exp completion should be unlocked

[minor jackal]

ye

and then it's only matter of time finishing it

[livid hornet]

is the expedition freighter randomized? Mine apparently has a disconnected bridge...

[frozen jewel]

a scorched planet can also be found on expedition stop 2, which can be reached from the portal on a space station

[eternal dagger]

What should I bring into the expedition?

[frozen jewel]

time, because apparently you cant finish the exp untill that damn community goal is finished

[livid hornet]

An amino chamber, maybe extra warp fuel

[frozen jewel]

cadmonium or w/e the red metal is

for more jump range

[livid hornet]

chlorine was hard for me to find

[frozen jewel]

stack of wire loom

chlorine is literally any planet with water

[minor jackal]

then just refine salt

[livid hornet]

yeah, I ended up refining salt

[frozen jewel]

you have to fish anyway, might as well just hold down mining laser into the water for a minute or so to get the chlorine/salt

[torn vessel]

just in case, you can:
ESC - Catalogue & Guide - Materials & Items, then click on any material and you will get marker to closest one

but yeah, you need to find or buy at least one to add it to this library

[livid hornet]

well salt came to mind first (bought at a station)

[minor jackal]

5% left

[torn vessel]

sadge, i have to go to work in 15 mins :|

[frozen jewel]

might actually be able to play the game again then if its really that far already. was only 51% like 3-4 hours earlyer

[proven moat]

in case anyone else is looking for portal glyphs: Loparve station (R1) and Roskomm-Noa X Prime station (near R2 I think? maybe R3) have travelers

[torn vessel]

hm, if i slap base computer in expedition and expedition ends, will i save that bases?

[proven moat]

they should persist yeah

[torn vessel]

good to know, thank you

[silver night]

Bro, it's still not live on the Microsoft Store version for PC, this is getting annoying

[ashen shore]

Currently on icy veins on phase 2 but my fish aren’t contributing to the quest

[azure yew]

wait what isnt

[silver night]

The expedition rerun

[azure yew]

wait reruns are on microsoft store?

[torn vessel]

only "ice" fish counts

[minor jackal]

microsoft owns xbox

[torn vessel]

there is a bunch of them, but you probably catching not biome specific one

[minor jackal]

and there is no update on xbox yet

[silver night]

The game is available on Microsoft Store, yes. Are you trolling?

[ashen shore]

Is there a way to increase my chance of getting ice fish in just getting long jaws and hypnotic squid

[azure yew]

srry I didnt know cus I dont rlly use the microsoft store

like I usualy just download stuff from the webpage on google or steam

[silver night]

Well I played the game on Xbox for years. When I switched to playing on PC the Microsoft Store version immediately linked with my old Xbox account and let me pickup where I left off. However, it always seems to be massively behind on updates and I'm getting sick of it

[azure yew]

oh alr

[torn vessel]

idk, i craft a bait, i think it helps, but a little bit

[ashen shore]

I’ve been using mealworms

[proven moat]

use spicy chum

[gentle sparrow]

Yeah but they take their sweet time updating Xbox

[minor jackal]

ye

time is money

[gentle sparrow]

Anyways

[minor jackal]

also

[gentle sparrow]

I'm gonna be lazy and grind the stuff I need for the expedition beforehand

I just want the reward (Sr1 Normandy)

[proven moat]

community milestone complete!

[wraith junco]

Should u buy 1000 myth beacons ?? Xdddd

[strong dagger]

hey guys, how much longer is the expedition avaible ?

[minor jackal]

!exptime

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Expedition Redux - Beachhead ends: <t:1763478000> (approx. <t:1763478000:R>)

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

[strong dagger]

thank you!

[frozen jewel]

they shouldve never removed the recall expedition fleet exploit hah

[minor jackal]

expedition complete

[ripe holly]

Is it better to do the "Beachhead" expedition on my main save or should I create a new game?

[alpine sleet]

You can use main save.

[ripe holly]

Thank you

[alpine sleet]

Expedition shunts you to temporary save, and when you end, rewards are available for every save.

[minor jackal]

i would make a backup of your main save

[ripe holly]

I did not know you could backup your main save. How do you do that on a PC?

[frozen jewel]

if you choose to use your main save, make a backup and try to not use most if not any of the upgrade modules you get, since you can take them back to your main save. unless you're already maxed out on upgrades of course.

[proven moat]

open an explorer window, go to %APPDATA%\HelloGames\NMS, zip that folder inside

[ripe holly]

Thank you!

[proven moat]

I made a script to automate this. still using my day 1 save to this day!

[exotic marlin]

Any tips for signs to nowhere milestone?

[frozen jewel]

just fly over a planet and click all the beacons you can find? pretty much any point of interest has one

the little antennas next to the t1 atlas pass boxes

can also press scan on your ship while flying in orbit and go to the house /unknown structure icon

[lilac pilot]

Soo, now that the boi is full, we won't be able to grind more quicksilver right? 😛

[weak gazelle]

Normandy acquired

[weak gazelle]

Wait they removed it? I used it yesterday

[frozen jewel]

i saw a bunch of comments saying that it doesnt work, i havent actually tried it myself

but i could try it since im just waiting for 1 expedition, sec

[tender tusk]

i tried it yesterday for the 1st time and it worked so they're probably doing it wrong

[minor jackal]

it worked for me too

just send the expedition->go to fleet command room->abort->repeat x3

[weak gazelle]

I wasted my time getting a fleet and trying to get fleet upgrades until I saw someone say “just recall the fleet right after sending them out” and then I tried it and felt so stupid

[exotic marlin]

Didn't know the ship scanner can do that

[frozen jewel]

o yeah, worked

done

[tender tusk]

For Icy Veins I'd recommend the Rendezvous 1 system: Loparve Planet: Wedleso Gamma; find a body of water, craft some spicy chum, and fish until icy veins triggers. The fish registering for it lags a bit i noticed so just keep fishing.

[exotic marlin]

Omg its cakewalk now. Played 100 hrs and spaced the ship can do that

[minor jackal]

ye

it's cakewalk even without bringing anything

since it's redux

[weak gazelle]

For Icy Veins to progress the fish needs to be an uncommon or rare fish exclusive to frozen planets

[tender tusk]

Umm yes and that's where i got them and that planet did it for me since the tool tip when selecting the milestone led me there

[ashen shore]

So the expedition is now working? The quick silver rewards had only 1 reward on the list without the mass effect/normandy freighter

I’m on ps5

Expedition 2 beach head redux is the one I’m talking about

[remote thunder]

• working? wdym, sorry? as in, if it's possible to start it? were you having any difficulty on something, on a milestone?
• "quicksilver rewards": you mean that after claiming phase rewards possible, you went back to a different save, and... (if i got it right so far, can you elaborate further?)

[opal wave]

how to quickly learn words?

[tender tusk]

for the expedition just go to a space station and interact with 6 npcs

[finite scaffold]

Oh shit the community milestone completed? Hype

[opal wave]

it says they are all visited when i never visited them

[tender tusk]

then try on a planet trading post if you find one or a different system / station

[vapid heron]

so frustrated, derelict freighter keeps turning invisible on me

[opal wave]

also, for the discover system, isnt it hard since all the systems around expedition route have been discovered already

[vapid heron]

jump in a black hole...

use a station to portal back.

rv systems are now annotated on portals.

[ancient bough]

is the signal booster supposed to take you to an empty place for the "nameless history" milestone?

[exotic marlin]

So many exosuit slots

[naive prism]

I'm not clear on it yet, are we now doing expedition 2:beachhead or is 20:breach still going on?

[exotic marlin]

As i was told fly low orbit and scann with ship

[tender tusk]

It's Beachhead

[exotic marlin]

I finished it in like 5 mins after that

[naive prism]

it feels .. wrong... that Breach was so short, then 😔

[stuck violet]

Can anyone help me out, I feel like I'm missing something. Im on xbox one an I got excited when I heard that the "Beachhead" expedition was returning today and wanted to make sure I could get into it for stream on Sunday but I can't find it anywhere. I tried the anomaly and it just shows the previous one I completed "breach" I also tried starting it from the starting screen but it said "New expeditions coming soon" I have no clue what to do.

[tender tusk]

check the announcements it'll be back in later Dec-Jan

[torn vessel]

it will returns in december

[naive prism]

aaaah, that way

forwarding that to my channel 👍

[torn vessel]

#nms-expedition message

[ancient bough]

got it. tyvm!

[tender tusk]

If you don't see a patch for xbox in #nms-news-ticker then it's not out plain and simple; no idea as to why since I'm on PC steam

[stuck violet]

Ah I see, I'm new to this server. I appreciate the help thank you.

[frozen jewel]

xbox patches are always late

2-3 days from what i saw people talking about, not sure how accurate that is

[remote thunder]

i used alien charts, 3 of them - popped 1, went there, got it, popped another, went there, got it

[frozen jewel]

well, see you in 2 weeks for the next redux one. finally more grinding on my mainsave.

[exotic marlin]

Ah u used some of exosuit slots huh

[frozen jewel]

on accident

[exotic marlin]

Im 20/30 on exosuit slots upgrades

Congratz on the finsih

[frozen jewel]

its what i get for spamming trough, but i dont need many more for max suit anyway

[torn vessel]

no X upgrades with great roll? :(

[exotic marlin]

Fair, once ibget extras Ill just pass them to peeps on anamoly

[torn vessel]

hazard / movement i mean

[frozen jewel]

i have never gotten anything good from x upgrades, and i do keep opening them

[exotic marlin]

Rng is heavy since they can roll c class stats. But when they hit they hit

[torn vessel]

you should get 2 right from expedition start

with close to perfect rolls

[frozen jewel]

and i do keep opening them

huh?

i destroyed all of the mods since i didnt get anything good

[torn vessel]

ill try to find a screen, but discord on mobile is a pain

[heady pilot]

Well, finished with this expedition now. I also decided to take advantage of it to put the Utopia Speeder back on my main save...not because I want it for anything or because I think it's a good ship, because it's not. No, I put it back on the main save because it's a unique ship my main save can't claim again, and there's plenty of room in cold storage I'm not using for anything else sooo...might as well. Just in case I ever decide I want it for anything lol.

[torn vessel]

@frozen jewel

[frozen jewel]

i defo didnt have those

[torn vessel]

with one you start, second one you getting after scanning 3 animals

[torn vessel]

everyone does in this expedition

or…was it fixed?

cant check rn, sorry

[lofty geyser]

When I used the myth beacon it does nothing

[torn vessel]

#nms-expedition message

[tender tusk]

I only got a good one for jetpack

[heady pilot]

This expedition also did me another huge favor besides getting some bad unique ships back on the main save. The fact that at the end of it my quicksilver value ended with a 5, when it merged back into my main save it rounded up with the 5 my quicksilver on the main save ended with and rounded it. Then I bought and destroyed a couple of fireworks and my quicksilver once again eds with a nice and rounded 00 on my main save. That 5 at the end was irritating me lol.

[torn vessel]

same one?

iirc you need to scan 3 animals for that hazard protection upgrade

[tender tusk]

yup pretty much the same one

[frozen jewel]

i made a new save, didnt get one at all for my exosuit.

[torn vessel]

what the hell

are you on pc?

[frozen jewel]

well not a big deal for me anyway

yes

[torn vessel]

now its double weird

was thinking its platform based

🤔

[tender tusk]

No it's probably milestone based and probably the pilgrim since you need to claim that for the fishing rig and it gives a movement upgrade

[mellow rain]

When is the redux hitting xbox?

[torn vessel]

def not, i made another one save just to trade to my main save yday, movement upgrade was there right from start

[rough parrot]

Still not on xbox?

[mellow rain]

Nope, be here eventually. Happily it's apparently a short one.

[rough parrot]

Shouldnt of been release untill it was ready for all consoles

[gentle sparrow]

Give it a day

[rough parrot]

Been about a day now

[mellow rain]

Been a day

[rough parrot]

Came out last night

[gentle sparrow]

Microsoft takes a day based on PST

To certify the update and all that

[tender tusk]

a Business day which doesn't include weekends

[rough parrot]

Ill be pissed

[gentle sparrow]

It's still the 7th here, at 3:12 pst I think

[rough parrot]

People work during the week weekend is the time it should be out for everyone

[gentle sparrow]

Bc unless I'm forgetting something... MS is headquartered in WA

[rough parrot]

Idk

[gentle sparrow]

Thank goodness tuesday is veterans day

Federal US holiday means it's a free day off

[mellow rain]

Means I get so much free food

[torn vessel]

made a new save, huh

[proven moat]

I ended up getting a dreadnought in the expedition myself (and I still don't have one in my main save, hah, will fix that when I get back to it)

[tender tusk]

Expedition save? new game save? which one; people need to be more detailed in their explanations so i'd ask iH that

[mellow rain]

Hold out for an S rank freighter if you're going to upgrade, the time and resource cost to fully upgrade them isn't worth doing twice.

[torn vessel]

new expedition save

[weak gazelle]

You in Eissentam? I can share the system I used to get my dreadnought, most of my frigates (from recruiting survivors), and the freighter upgrades (from destroying survivors)

[tender tusk]

I already have an s-class might look for a better sc slot one before i put more time into it when i'm done with the expedition

[gentle sparrow]

I have a nice S rank pirate dreddy

[tender tusk]

then it might be purely rng I got mine from doing the expedition from a main save

[proven moat]

oh awesome, that'd be great. I'm not originally in Eissentam but could travel

[gentle sparrow]

Man Xbox is cooked

[torn vessel]

but, there is a bunch of ppls who started in expedition with that upgrade on PC
its exactly the same upgrade even with the same name

[gentle sparrow]

That's the expedition terminal rn

[proven moat]

not live yet?

[gentle sparrow]

Nope.

Still the 7th for Microsoft rn

It'll be either the 8th or the 10th

(Day of the month)

[proven moat]

I guess due to cert delay it may take a bit...

[gentle sparrow]

Cert delay is goofy

[heady pilot]

Eissentam is ultra easy to get to, there's at least one featured base there. Then you can take a portal to anywhere in that galaxy.

[tender tusk]

Well when i'm done with BH on my main save i'll run it on my survival save and i can reconfirm then on PC steam; maybe ask iHaku how they started their new save; if the mod comes back to my main save as it is now then cool i keep it if not i trash it

[proven moat]

I feel like there was an oversight on HG's end and they forgot N7 (it was probably part of their original collab agreement to run it twice+?), so had to cut Breach mid-way to rush this, haha. but this is just a theory!

[gentle sparrow]

A game theory?

[proven moat]

it indeed is a game theory

[gentle sparrow]

Isn't there some guy who used to have a gimmick like that?

[indigo falcon]

I think they planned for N7 at the point where they realized they had a crapton (technical term) of new users from the Corvette update

and they imply as much in the redux schedule announcement

[proven moat]

yep 🙂

[torn vessel]

its, very strange

[tender tusk]

keep that one because this is what i got

[torn vessel]

for phase 1 milestone 3?

[heady pilot]

I mean this expedition first played out in 2021 but didn't have any redux in 2022 or 2023 so idk why HG felt they had to do it last year and this year...and it wasn't the plan when Breach started. In the blog they mentioned it's a colab with BioWare and EA...but my guess is it was BioWare/EA who reached out and asked HG to run it this year as a favor.

[tender tusk]

yup

[rain igloo]

how should i get wiring looms? i just started

[tender tusk]

we'll i'm glad they're re-running it so i can get the normandy as a frigate also the wraith living ship when they run that soon

[rain igloo]

should i use my repair kit?

[indigo falcon]

buy 'em at the space station trade terminal

[tender tusk]

bring them with you or buy them at stations we have npcs in this one

[heady pilot]

You can buy them from space stations or you can install and destroy tech modules you don't want.

[rain igloo]

should i just do missions to get units

[torn vessel]

for repair you could use repair kit, for building just complete "learn words" milestone and sell nipnip > buy loom on station

[indigo falcon]

my usual drill to get some starting units is to dig up salv data from buried tech,

[rain igloo]

ill try this

[tender tusk]

I just found this in the R3 station 🤣 Should i get it guys?

[indigo falcon]

do you like the look? if so, go ahead...

[torn vessel]

saw someone mention it in #nms-multitools :)

[tender tusk]

nahh it'd be just for collection; if unique looks don't translate to unique function then i'll stick to what i have also it's 2.3 million and who knows what slots it'll have

[heady pilot]

No combat in Beachhead so it doesn't matter for expedition but depending on what multitools you have on the main save it could be better than anything you have on the main save...unless you have a top end staff or sentinel MT, alien beats everything else.

[indigo falcon]

beyond a certain point any well upgraded well decked out mt will get the job done

it's not like ships now where some hover, some don't, some allow you to spacewalk and etc and some don't

[heady pilot]

New players should absolutely go for this too and take it back to their main saves.

[tender tusk]

I already have a pretty good sentinel A Class on main save so i'll just leave it

[gentle sparrow]

I can't wait to get the Normandy

My favorite ship in any science fiction.

[alpine saffron]

Another short expedition?

[heady pilot]

Normandy is a frigate...a pretty good one but still. It's not a starship or corvette.

[gentle sparrow]

I'm aware

I still want it lol

[tender tusk]

if the Star Wars fans could read that without the tie fighter blinders they have on they'd be mad

[gentle sparrow]

Lmao

[tender tusk]

it's a Redux expedition so yes it's short

[heady pilot]

Yep, Beachhead redux for 12 days...well, 11 left now.

[wraith junco]

Reduxes are usualy short

[alpine saffron]

Any specific upgrades that are good that are good for Beachhead? Like last one was hard to get environment shields. Or any other notes to keep in mind?

[tardy robin]

I'm still waiting for it to release for Xbox even though it was supposed to be out today but there is no time so I'm guessing tomorrow night if anyone can confirm the time for me that be great

[gentle sparrow]

Give it a day

Probably tomorrow night depending on your timezone

Tomorrow afternoon for me.

[tardy robin]

It's 7 at night here I'm in Canada Ontario

[gentle sparrow]

Eastern time? I'm on PST

[tender tusk]

Environment is good i think also there are npcs so if you have a strategy for nanites use it but some milestone give nanites and units

[gentle sparrow]

Huh

How's the future?

[rain igloo]

dark

source: its 7:05pm

[tardy robin]

If your saying that to me great even though it's the 7th the day we was supposed to get the redux expedition today but great 5 hours until it's the 8th

[gentle sparrow]

Brutal

5 hours? It's about 8 for me

[tardy robin]

7:06 November 7th on a Friday once it hits 12 midnight it's a new day lol

But I hope it comes out soon us Xbox players are getting tired of being late to everything

[maiden glade]

waiting forever for this n7 upate for xbox

[proven moat]

ah yeah you're right, it was older than I remembered

[ashen shore]

I mean ima Star Wars fan and out side of Star fighters halo has more aura

Hey when’s the expedition I’m on Xbox

[tardy robin]

Definitely not today Even though many of us who are playing is in North America so the way it will be like the last one tomorrow or the day after

[ashen shore]

I’m kms

[tender tusk]

Call Microsoft about it as it's up to them at this point; if HG has done everything and Microsoft has to certify it for xbox console then it's on xbox/ Microsoft

[heady pilot]

No idea, Xbox needs patch 6.16 and I thought it'd get it today but it didn't. My guess is the patch is in certification at Xbox so whenever someone there can be bothered to approve it. But next two days are the weekend so Xbox might be left waiting until at least Monday.

[ashen shore]

Bruh

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

[tardy robin]

Odd I seen every other game with updates release on the day they are supposed to release surprising only NMS updates is late on Xbox doesn't make sense though but I'll see what happens tomorrow then

[proven moat]

yeah, it can be disappointing... but it should arrive soon

what you can do is to prepare for the expedition by planning what you want to bring

[tardy robin]

I hope so I feel like I'm on a football team on the sidelines who will never get the shot to play

[heady pilot]

It's also possible Xbox patch failed certification. In the new experimental it says "Fixed an issue that could cause Xbox to hang on the pause menu"...if that happened all the time or too often Xbox might have just said "We're not releasing it until fixed."

[tardy robin]

Never had that happen to me

I was just on it today

[proven moat]

that's probably the reason, they had to fix it before releasing 🙂 (edit: I misread, hah)

[faint mesa]

Tomorrow is weekend -- I wouldn't expect anything until monday

[heady pilot]

It might have been an issue that was going to be introduced by 6.16 if it had released.

[tardy robin]

Well let's see tomorrow cause knowing Xbox they will work on releasing it even if it's the weekend since there is a time limit on the expedition for two weeks so they might already have someone on it

[maiden glade]

they better extend the n7 ship then 😠

[indigo falcon]

hope the expd comes to the XBox soon. maybe tomorrow people will awaken to an update!

[tender tusk]

I would worry more about preparing for the expedition to get it done faster that is something i can control versus one here can control

[weak gazelle]

Wait I completely forgot about my expedition buddy what happened to him after I completed the expedition did he just evaporate

[proven moat]

nnnooooo

[indigo falcon]

companions can't come back to the main save if you started expd from there

[vapid heron]

the aether claimed him when you completed the expedition

[indigo falcon]

you can drop a base before ending the expd and go back there on the main save to adopt again

[vapid heron]

but he's kinda special looking, theres a lot going on there

[tender tusk]

you can get the glyphs and go back i assume

[indigo falcon]

that would work as well

[proven moat]

hahaha, I was going to ask its name

[stoic ermine]

Fun fact - these are where boba comes from

[vapid heron]

the only boba i know is serbian

[weak gazelle]

Is this where big boba comes from?

[proven moat]

it'd be cool if we could bring critters back

[weak gazelle]

My creature registry is full but it would be nice to have the option, like I know you can just go to the planet using the glyphs and get a new one but having the same one that joined you on your journey would be cool

Imagine having a companion accompany you on every single expedition

[heady pilot]

It is kinda possible in a weird way. If you place a base computer and claim a base where the critters are, the base gets transferred to main save and then you can go there and adopt.

[indigo falcon]

(I mentioned that above)

I guess there is a difference between having it literally be the same companion everywhere and having to adopt and leave one on every expedition

[weak gazelle]

Plus, what’re the odds of finding one that looks exactly the same?

Well I guess if you’re patient you could get an egg

[indigo falcon]

but most people aren't planning to spend a lot of extra time in the expd save, right right

[tender tusk]

I'm just getting it done for this one

[indigo falcon]

I expect that's most players, given the shorter timeframe

[weak gazelle]

We can already take items to and from, why not have a little slot there for a companion?

[indigo falcon]

there must be a bunch of added complexity hg did't want to deal with, around companions

[vapid heron]

finally my fleet expedition comes home and expedition complete... i love the supermoon tune that plays

[weak gazelle]

You actually waited out the full fleet expedition timer?

[vapid heron]

you can cut it short?

[weak gazelle]

Yeah I just sent em all out and recalled immediately after someone said it counted, and it did

[vapid heron]

oh... interesting and noted for future expeditions

[weak gazelle]

Also how do you get the little expdetition roles

[tender tusk]

I'm literally following a older guide and adapting it to new systems; the sending frigate's out on expedition and then canceling trick still works

[vapid heron]

it was only 30 mins while i completed other parts of the expedition so it wasn't like i was waiting for the whole mission

[indigo falcon]

the expedition roles are self-assigned, I think there's info in the #roles-information channel

[weak gazelle]

Thx

[stoic ermine]

Do we have a guide like we did with breach for beachhead?

To make it quicker

[lavish shard]

Aiming4Gaming has an updated one on Youtube

[tender tusk]

almost done just have to do The Undsicovered Country / Systems

[heady pilot]

Not much you need a guide for this time...maybe for the 3 biomes you need pictures for but I mean two of the three you need are in the starter system. There's a lot less stuff you have to go out of your way to find.

[light plume]

did the community research milestone literally just finish as i doing the dosimeter readings

i just saw it flash on the screen 😭

[vapid heron]

ticked ages ago for me

[tender tusk]

it was doen by the time i started playing today

I didn't even need to bring stuff for nanites for this expedition since i earned 18K and i'm not really taking anything ships or MT back

[spark vessel]

im in a predicament

so

'how i get a wiring loom

with no money

[fair dagger]

how are people able to finish expeditions in 3 hours? it takes ME half a day 🙁

[spark vessel]

no life

[fair dagger]

ah fair enough

[spark vessel]

im stuck on the first milestone

😭 \

[fair dagger]

F

[tender tusk]

People make guides or have played enough that they can focus down the objectives

Here's a guide to get it done quicker that came out today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkZb9Dd0PjQ

[fair dagger]

oh interesting 😮 thanks 🙂

[livid hornet]

I almost thought my game was totally fubar. I landed just a bit too close to the phase 5 structure and my ship merged with it so I couldn't get into it after the histrionic anomaly appeared. Even after reloading, my ship was stuck. Luckily I figured out that I could get into the ship if I am flying above it in my jetpack. Pulse the jetpack button while holding down the button to get in the ship. After launch the ship then went a bit bonkers, but I was able to push through the bug field and escape. Then I did the histrionic thing again and was able to catch up to the anomaly.

[tender tusk]

yeah i try to park away from portals since things can get iffy flying or parking on top of one

[rich warren]

Just started the expedition. The first objective is asking for a wiring loom, but there's no space station in the starting system

Am I meant to disassmeble one of the starting modules I was given?

[tender tusk]

If you have a repair kit you can us it when repairing a ship device; try using it on what needs a wiring loom first

[cedar marsh]

-_- photomode isn’t working for me again for one of the expedition tasks

[tender tusk]

do you have the milestone selected and are a scorched . frozen and or Airless world? The Airless world was on Rendezvous 2 system for me

[cedar marsh]

It’s selected and I’m going after a frozen one

I’m currently on a frostbound

I got an airless one and it worked but now it’s refusing to take a photo of this icy one

[tender tusk]

just make sure you use the in game key for photomode to take the picture

[cedar marsh]

I rebound it to make sure

I’ve had this issue every time it’s featured in an exped and I’m beginning to think it’s a PlayStation problem rather than a HG problem because it works just fine for me on PC

Wait

Does it count moons?

[tender tusk]

Yeah it worked fine for me on PC but i just leave it at the default setting

[cedar marsh]

Default on PS is the screenshot button and that seems to override the ingame function

[tender tusk]

it should but if it doesn't say moons i'd try planets: edit: it's says planetary so i'd try those first

[indigo falcon]

press and hold the share button until the photo mode bar comes up at the bottom of the screen, for ps5, and then line up your shot and click the thing for that

moons are planets, they'll work fine

(nms physics)

[prisma tundra]

there's already too many companions you earn from expeditions and/or twitch rewards but too little slots, I feel like 3 pages of 6 slots is too small compared to the amount given as rewards in some way or another, there should be like 6 pages or more of 6 slots so both expedition and our own cool creatures we find can be companions instead of picking & choosing

[copper echo]

Can someone give me a precis on how to do Signs to Nowhere?

[indigo falcon]

you can fly low and slow, hit the ship scanner and loo kfor the white house icon to come up, ifyou see it, head there, make sure the place has one of those white folded save-and-chart things. if so, land, do that, then off to scan some more

[cedar marsh]

Lifesaver

[indigo falcon]

most actual buildings have one, some sites have it without an actual building too

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/nomanssky_gamepedia/images/c/c2/Waypoint.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20230427204135 these things are what you want

[copper echo]

Okay, so it's those little flagpole/lightpole looking things that essentially "map out" a planet bit by bit, right?

[indigo falcon]

uh huh, see pic linked above.

if you findone, flying either due n or s usually finds you another soon, they are on a grid

(-ish)

[copper echo]

You can usually find those things around different planetary landmarks, right? Like buildings and such?

[indigo falcon]

yep

[copper echo]

Or exosuit droppods, if those are around.

[indigo falcon]

those too. and those also will show up as little white house icons

monliths and plaques won't have them but most things do

[copper echo]

Need to get a scanner slapped onto my exocraft, then.

[indigo falcon]

oh are you doing it vi exocraft? well you could jsust get out, see if you see the icon in the hud via suit scanner, if so tag it, back in the exocraft, etc. if not, go 3-400 u and check again, repeat until you're done

no need for exocraft scanner really

[copper echo]

Right now I'm on my Corvette - spent the nanos to get it replicated, because, I mean...it's a freaking mobile do-everything base.

[indigo falcon]

oh I see. well you can scan from up there, too

[copper echo]

Just kind of going in one direction on autopilot. I can scan things with the stuff on the Corvette, but I'm not really used to looking for stuff outside of specific missions.

[indigo falcon]

oh so you're walking around? yeah just use your suit scanner right frmo the ship then, as long as you are low to the ground in the ship

all this time and I have not used the autopilot even once....

[copper echo]

Well, no. I'm in the corvette on auto pilot and just sort of staring around with the scanner I've got.

I've only ever really done this with salvage for corvette pieces, and because those are yellow, they stand out big time. Everything else is just blue and gray stuff.

[indigo falcon]

oic

[copper echo]

That being said, I did just find a building. Now you say kinda head N or S?

[indigo falcon]

yeah, you interacted with the save-and-chart thing and it counted?

then yeah go N or S for a little and keep your eyes open, scanning periodically

it may not be exactly N or S but should be "near"....

[copper echo]

Got it. Couldn't figure out this objective at first. It's a big enough game that you forget some stuff. This looks like it'll be simple, but tedious, like the ice fishing.

[indigo falcon]

just takes a little time, that's all

and yeah there sure is a lot of stuff in this game 😄

1 down 4 to go

[tender tusk]

I would just fly in the cockpit instead of auto pilot/ exocraft and hit the scan button every time it recharges and just go when it pops up the house icon save and chart and on to the next.

going by ground is going to just burn time

[copper echo]

Getting my butt kicked trying to find an airless planet. Any tips?

[plush sand]

I am stuck on Echo though the ages . I dont know what to do . I have my beacon at the spot but what do i do now ? I cant use my beacon .

[tender tusk]

It's in the Rendezvous 2 system Blosal Don't worry about it until you're there

[copper echo]

I'm already on Phase 3, though.

Not trying to skip ahead on anything. Fully completed the previous phases.

[tender tusk]

You can go warp aback to that system; it's not restricted to warp back

[copper echo]

Didn't figure it was restricted, but I'd been searching in enough systems that I genuinely wasn't sure I could find it again. Heading there now.

[rose veldt]

Morning

Just checking quick

100 %?

[tender tusk]

are you near a building that has a big round wheeling rotating ? You can also check this guide at 7:19
https://youtu.be/tkZb9Dd0PjQ?si=2pRUfzBOOq2hf9Rv&t=440

[plush sand]

I reloaded and it worked . Thank you

[indigo falcon]

they will have rusted metal listed in the resources, here's a list of the synonyms in case you wantto check planets in the current system (discovery tab): https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Biome_-_Dead#Name_generation

[fair badge]

Too bad the Normandy isn't a Corvette

[tender tusk]

I mean someone has made a Corvette of it in NMS

[indigo falcon]

corvettes weren't even a twinkle in a dev's eye when this expedition first ran

(2021)

[fair badge]

I'm sure.

I'm sure someone already made megamaid from Spaceballs already

[oak bolt]

For echo through the ages, is the marker supposed to keep jumping around every time I am supposed to have reached it even before I can use the myth beacon?

I've been chasing it for god knows how long between a ton of boundary failures, nothing is changing.

[indigo falcon]

no it should not, there is one location for evrybody

I would save-exit-relaod and see how that is

[lapis sierra]

Is the last expedition over already?

[tender tusk]

Breach is over and will reran December to January; The current expedition is Beachhead where you can get teh SSV Normanddy from mass effect

[indigo falcon]

Breach is over and Beachhead Redux has started.

full rerun schedule: https://www.nomanssky.com/2025/11/holiday-expeditions-2025/

[lapis sierra]

When they rerun it can I continue where I left off or will I have to start over? Think I only made it to phase 3

[tender tusk]

You'll have to start over as far as i know

[lapis sierra]

😭

[quaint turtle]

So do we got multi tools as reward on this expedition?

[tender tusk]

you get these
#nms-expedition message

[quaint turtle]

Aight, I was thinking "sword of history" as something as weapon/multi tools

[indigo falcon]

reruns are done in a different region of space and you'll start off from the beginning, whether from your main save or a new one

[copper echo]

Oh wow...seeing the Normandy in the skies over the final planet...I mean...MWAH!

[indigo falcon]

didyou get there? nice!!

[copper echo]

Even if you can't board the thing and you can only see it...? Perfection. The original is my favorite.

NOW...I just need to get the perfect dismount to this expedition and figure out how to transfer all the valuable stuff back to my primary save.

[indigo falcon]

It can fail an expedition but it can't be damaged, since there's no way for you to repair it.

when this originally ran, hello games put out an announcement about the expedition but carefully mentioned nothing about the final reward or about a crosover or anything. and the event was timegated so people were sitting on their hands waiting to find out what the last two missions were...

and what the results would be

[copper echo]

How many times can you transfer items back and forth from the expedition? I can't fit everything into the slots at the Anomaly.

[indigo falcon]

there is a way to transfer more than once, I always get it wrong how that works, tbh I often forget the timing and don't even manage the one transfer

[tender tusk]

Here's a steam guide that covers it pretty well https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3572414902&searchtext=expedetion+transfer

[copper echo]

Got it. So long as I don't click "End Expedition" I can go back and forth as many times as needed, right?

[tender tusk]

pretty much

[copper echo]

Grindy. I can do that. This whole game is grindy.

[tender tusk]

I mean you can just bring back what you really want and toss the rest; this is completely optional; I do it because i want to

[copper echo]

I leave nothing behind. I'm very much a pack rat.

[fickle whale]

I myself am a loot goblin but to each their own maybe i should look into that too 😅

[proven moat]

whoa, I never knew you could repeat this process. I was actually wondering about that and was gonna look into it. that is actually awesome!

that means I can still continue my hoarding habits in full force

[tender tusk]

as a heads up, for me on PC sometimes the game just stops letting me transfer certain items for what whatever reason and i have to restart the game to fix it

[proven moat]

but that means you don't technically need to pack things into your multitool and ship (like modules) just to copy them to get the modules out. you can just repeat the transfer instead, right? that should save some nanites

[tender tusk]

Modules from a starship or multitool yes but the actual ship or multitool no you'd still have to pay nanitess to get it back to your normal save

[indigo falcon]

but if you've added a bunch of slots to the mt so it's worth it to bring back, maybe youwant to copy it

it's not just about the tech items

[proven moat]

true, but I was only putting them into the multitool just to transfer the modules without using the tiny space available in the transfer window

[proven moat]

true, though I always save the slots for my main tools/ships etc, never using them in expedition

[indigo falcon]

ah gotcha

[proven moat]

this is great news though, should make things much easier

[indigo falcon]

may main saves are pretty well decked out as to all that, though I don't have a viable corvette on any main save yet

I would have if the new expd hadn't started before I got my stuff transferred from Breach 😠 oh well anyways

[proven moat]

this will be the third corvette I'll copy. though I guess I don't need to, but I will extract the parts and it's a bit less hassle, and maybe I'll build all of them too

[warped prism]

which planet is airless in this expedition?

[proven moat]

yeah :/ that hurts

[indigo falcon]

well you can shove up to 100 parts on there, it's quicker to do that than shove them all into those slots several tmies

[proven moat]

yeah 🙂

[proven moat]

thanks for this guide btw

[tender tusk]

You can find one at the second Rendezvous System called Blosal it's say Airless right in the resource list

[warped prism]

oml ive looked everywhere but there, thank you

[fickle whale]

Nice i dont neet to look then 😅

[warped prism]

i dont see any that say airless

[fickle whale]

Go to the planets list find the system you want and it should say that there

Sorry systems list

[fickle whale]

But the quickest way is to find a station ans look at the teleport

[warped prism]

found it!!

thanks!

[ripe holly]

If you start the Beachhead expedition on your main save, do you get to keep all the upgrades items you get during the expedition (plans, blue prints, Freighter pods, etc.)?

[fickle whale]

Its on all future and current saves yes as far as i know

[ripe holly]

Thanks. So the things you get on the expedition merge into your main inventory when the expedition is complete?

[fickle whale]

You can transfer a limited amount yes but there is a walkthrough somewhere i can link you if you want everything you get from the expedition and if you want the shuttle ans the tool that would cost nanites

[fickle whale]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3572414902&searchtext=expedetion+transfer

[ripe holly]

Thanks. That would be helpful. am nervous about loosing the stuff in my main safe but would lit the benefits of getting some of the items from the expedition. It seems like some of them come way faster than in a notmal playthrough.

[proven moat]

back up your save if you're on PC

[fickle whale]

Here are the patch notes on steam for the experimental branch

-Fixed an issue that could cause Xbox to hang on the pause menu.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/660467026274575169/

[proven moat]

blueprints you've unlocked and inventory slots you've used won't transfer, but if you hit esc/cancel the inventory unlock screens, you can turn them into items which you can transfer

that transfer guide is great btw

[ripe holly]

To back up, you just copy "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\HelloGames\NMS" and then replace it back if something goes wrong?

[proven moat]

yeah, you can just zip the folder inside

[ripe holly]

Thank you for all the help! I have only been playing a week and still figuring things out.

[proven moat]

that's awesome, welcome!

[fickle whale]

Yeah welcome man

[ripe holly]

Thank you. It is super fun. I had almost 1k hours in Starfield but I think I like NMS better. I like Starfield fine but NMS seems so well done and refined.

[fickle whale]

Well NMS had 9 years plus of bouncing back

[sly pewter]

which planet in route is Airless?

[fickle whale]

The second checkpoint you find it the quickest if you find a space station and look at the teleporter

There is an airless world there

[toxic willow]

hey yall, new to expeditions and have a question:

i was participating in the last expedition breach and had brought my best exo suit tech modules to make it less painful. i logged in today and it says the old expedition is over and I cant find a way to retrieve my tech modules and other stuff i jad brought with me. is there no way to retrieve these items?

[indigo falcon]

you will only keep items like that (which are not end phase or end expedition rewards) if you put them into slots at the anomaly transfer via the expedition save, so the main save can pick them up. not all items can be transferred (e.g. companion eggs) but most can. blueprints won't transfer, expansion slots of various types can be transfered if you have not applied them in the expedition save and they remain items in your regular inventory. hope that helps.

[indigo falcon]

at this point they are gone, I do believe, because a new expedition has already started. you'll need to reacquire those modules in your main save now.

[toxic willow]

that.......... is very bad to hear. is there no way to alter a save to make it as if i had never gone on the expedition? i wasnt aware this event would perma delete my best tech modules
