Not a new expedition but redux of expeditions 17-20 will follow one after another until about mid January.
yummers
Yeah that's what I expected. Shame it's not some of the earlier ones though. I'm missing a bunch of them ;-;
shoutout to expeditions for giving me free stuff that i have no idea how to grind for
is this expedition 2????
When was the last time they did a rerun of exp 1
when you get to the part where you have to send fleet out for expedition you can recall them back instantly with the command room so you don't have to wait
They might bring back something useful, but if you're in a rush, then just recall.
Anyone willing to help run expedition?
How do you catch uncommon fish? I only caught 1 uncommon fish
I got an octopus and starfish that is uncommon but didn’t count
be sure to be using rarity bait e.g. mealworms
then it's just luck
Do I need a blueprint to make bait? I never fish in this game
once you unlocked fishing rig, it also unlocked the fishing baits; click on a free cargo slot
I used fried bait but guess needs to be specific bait?
use mealworms
Have 4 white bait. Where do I get meal worms?
Anyone willing to help run expedition 2?
craft them
hello, i reached the destination for the myth beacon but once i land nothing happen even when using the myth beacon
Thanks for the response buddy
I was afraid that my treasure come to void once I delete the corvette
you need to be at the spot, use myth beacon when the tooltip lower right of the screen tells you to.
hmm i walked a bit and didnt pop. i will try again thx
ah my target sweep was bugged , i relog and it work!
was about to say lol
Would spicy chum work better than meal worms?
Mealworm works just fine, some folks even caught the fishes without bait lmao
Only on rare or legendary fishes that more exotic baits are required
spicy chum boosts rarity a lot more, but also requires 3 diff resources instead of 1 to craft
This part was 100% confusing, I scanned it while on my ship.
Then I finally went to the Galaxy Map to jump to another system, the mission pinpoint was within the structure, I don't even know how to explain but this whole myth beacon was a weird one
yeah, my mission icon was also inside the boundary failure building
Got it, thank you
I’m stuck on the uncharted milestone. I don’t understand what they mean by discover systems. Warping itself doesn’t count?
Gotta find systems nobody has visited yet.
"First Contact"
I just managed toclear it. Picked a direction and started doing max range jumps till virgin system.
Pretty dirty Milestone

A guide is telling me do all other milestones including rendezvous points and then go through black hole by getting coordinates from nada. I will be far away from expedition area. Going to build a base at rendezvous 5 just in case though
That also works.
I'm just stuck waiting on the expeditions now.
Guys I have a questions on trying to discover star systems. If I go offline, will the expedition will go on so I'll be able to find any systems that will not show no players have discovered even if someone already discovered?
I never done that method before, but can anyone confirm it? Because I'm getting difficulty trying to find a empty handed systems no yet discovered and a lot they already taken
I think you'd need to be offline completely for that to work.
But will the expedition still be on if I'm offline? If I turn off wifi, can I still play the expedition?
I don't know.
I asked polo at the anomaly for a blackhole to warp though and then maxed warped with my freighter from there in different directions and that worked for me
I imported my ship at the anomaly and managed to get into undiscovered systems by one max range jump.
This is definitely my last chance tomorrow because I was so busy this days and yeah this is my bad didn't pay attention it was a short limited days we have
Just anyway, I'm gonna try if this works hopefully tomorrow 🙏
Ok I think I google and I says you can still play once you already on expedition when online afterwards, so I'm gonna try that method tomorrow
Best of luck!

I did the black hole thing to get away from the expedition. Area but no matter what, I can’t do the uncharted milestone no matter where I warp. Do I need a emeril or cadmium drive or something?
Maybe only dissonant systems?
do you have the milestone selected?
Yes, I do and traveled over 200 million light years away from redevous 5 after going through a black hole. Should I go through another one?
you can try that
Btw, the guide tells me to buy a myth beacon from a nobody after this and I can get back to rendezvous 5 hopefully. This uncharted milestone is basically my last one
Sorry from anomaly quicksilver guy
I left the uncharted one to do dead last on my two rusn and i'm glad i did
I’m doing it last too but if going into one black hole after another won’t get it to work, I don’t what to do and it is not working. Went through 2 black holes
You just warp to different systems for uncharted milestone?
Finally worked just now, got 1. I don’t know how I will get back to rendevous 5
You can use a station teleporter to get back to Rvd5 sytem: Ruberoml XVI; I didn't bother on my runs
Agter such a long time I finally got my hands on a squid today an im genuinely so happy
Thanks, this uncharted milestone is awful. Why make expeditions into chores? This is why arc raiders is doing better. I love this game but not the expeditions
Nice, I got the white one
I need a black and red if possible
Heading towards galactic core seems to be working for uncharted milestone
Hopefully
Got 5
Btw, if you are in corvette and end up in pirate system or battle just leave pilot seat and wait few seconds and warp away. I got it done
Does black and red squid ship exist?
I googled it an saw very dark ones but I dont know if you cam get exactly black
You can get Red with Balck stripes on the top near the cockpit area but that's it; you can't get squid exotic parts and build your own sadly
are the stripes only on some squid ships?
You never know with hello games what comes out next update
I think they're the same on all but i haven't seen enough to know for sure
I am about to complete the expedition at anomaly but have a quick question. Will the Normandy frigate be my freighter where I can store ships and only be part of my fleet?
no, it's a frigate
I mean or not and
So what is the point? You can’t use it as your freighter? Why were people excited about doing this expedition and getting it then?
it joins your freighter fleet and you can send it out on missions
you get more than just the frigate for doing hte expedition but it is the highlight reward
You get a cape too right? I thought the Normandy would have been my freighter. Otherwise I would have skipped this expedition. I don’t get why people are excited for the Normandy to only be part of your fleet and not really yours
it would've been cool to have as a freighter but we get it as a frigate. You'd have to ask someone at HG that's authorized to say why we only got it as a frigate for more answers than that
the normandy even in Mass Effect is not even remotely freighter sized it's meant to be precise, exact ,and do it's mission and get out using stealth
^
maybe we'll get cooler custom freighters or something in the future but what we got now is still pretty awesome
I mean I'm enjoying my pirate dreadnoughts and customizing them
i had the normandy the whole time before the expedition....
as well as the other rewards.....at least i got to build more stuff then my normal save allows
I like expeditions that give me things like the starborn runner and iron vulture. I love exploring and building in this game but not the expeditions with the vague milestones. A guide is basically mandatory
I must be weird then i got two Beachhead runs done in the first three days even using old guides
i took a break for a couple days but i'm almost finished my third run xD
hell i spend half my time running around on reliquary planets grabbing grav balls, and dissonant planets murking sentinels
I think switch players might be cooked
we still havent gotten the beachhead expedition
In general or just with NMS?
XD
i mean paying for a switch 2 for anything other than the performance boost is kinda...
eh
i hate their new "gamecard keys" it's incredibly anti-consumer
yeah i get that
I men athe Switch one uses the same cpu/gpu chip as a old Nvidia sheild so i think it's a technical limitaition more than anything also not sure how Nintendo does their game certs
if it werent for that one thing i'd have bought one
but atleast not many games use it
most games still use normal game cards
which is good
they also underclocked tf out of it
that's actually good to hear
that's even worse
simply because at it's NORMAL performance, it cooks the casing
i rebuilt my dock for better cooling so i could run mine at max performance when docked and it is so worth it
like you can FEEL the difference when playing games
i bet
how do you overclock a switch 1
you gotta get it running CFW first but there's an app that lets you adjust the memory, cpu and gpu speeds
so custom rom firmware etc etc
yeah pretty much, i won't go into it here but it's definitely worth it if you don't intend to use the system online
am i sensing off topic
yeah we're drifting a bit here, admittedly
What time does expedition end tmmrw?
hence why i said i won't go into it here

the time shown is your local time
I am so cooked
you are not
Ty
look at a walkthru
if they bring the update i can prob do it in like 3 or 4 hours but thats only if they bring it
this won't even take an hour
there are video guides to where to go and what to do
you can get the whole thing done in 3-4 hours with some planning (and if you read the tips in here, check a guide)
2 hours if you have no social life
if the update drops... yeah, that's out of our hands unfortunately
me , i want to wait until they kick me out
nintendo better actually bring the updates for the next expeditions
as iv'e been doing nothing but building stuff, if you make it to rendevus 4, that tall tower you see, that's mine
until whokicks you out of what?
until the expedition kicks me back into normal save
i have finished but yet to turn it in
I hope I get to see it 😭
did you start from a new save?
no
i am only on it to be able to build more towers again because my construction limit has been reached on my main save
well.... don't wait until you get kicked out; if the next expedition has started, anything you might want to have sent over by the terminal, you won't get the chance
I think I know why Nintendo are being so fucking slow with this update specifically
It’s because it’s numbered as a patch of Breach, meaning they don’t prioritize it at all
They almost never release patches in a timely manner, those always take longer than normal updates to get released
ask me how I know, cough
dont worry i have many backup saves
it's the server side of things that will be your problem
I hope they actually prioritise the update next time
Theres a grace period of at least a few hours, beachhead ends 18th, Titan starts 19th
i am literally just building 200 story towers on the rendevus points
why? dont ask me i don't know, compulsiveness
nice
ive had people stare at me, and wonder why im just doing this and not finishing
at the very least i dont care for the beachhead rewards THAT much
the titan rewards i need though
little do they know i have finished, i already have the normandy
and the other rewards, i just am here to be able to temporarily have more land to build on
I really wish there was a new game+ option for nms, where i can take my main multitools, and ships with me , but start over in terms of bases and planets
as long as you aren't uploading them, I guess it's ok
wdym
there is a limit for bases?
yes
as in amount?
parts
oh
you can only have 21,000 base parts per gamesave
number of bases, number of parts per base, number of total parts, all have limits
per save file
the expedition adds another 21,000 of freedom
hence why i take my sweet time with it
what you think im out there surviving?
lmao
im invincible
i took over an entire continent on a planet in the first system with the extra space xD
but only so i can build stuff in peace
the prev expd I was just collecting corvette parts. but I didn't get to send any of them back because it ended early and by the time I got on, the new expd had already started
Im sorry, but this feels like you’re literally just flexing that you have the expedition to someone who can’t do it, on no fault of their own
Orang
I dont mind lmao
im not flexing, you cannot seriously flex with a game like this , that would be absurd
im merely saying i do not do what its intended
yay i can use reactions now
You replied to someone who had just said they can’t play the expedition by basically saying ”I’ve done the expedition already, now I’m just playing around on that save” making it sound a lot like you’re flexing that you can play it
https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/ this is said to be able to work with the switch, with some effort. put it in your back pocket if need be
Generates SEASON_DATA_CACHE.JSON files so you can customize and play No Man's Sky expeditions and earn their rewards offline anytime.
no im not trying to do so, more like im explaining why i have not finished the thing yet
even tho nobody asked
k
like nobody asked me to chime in i get that
in the meantime let's see if they get it together on these other redux runs
I think the ”some work” required is jailbreaking the switch
xbox only got the expd a couple days ago, pretty unacceptable
oh wait it does
it got it yeah , few days ago, giving little time to do this whole thing unless you hauled ass
idk since I hadn't checked the link
that could well be, I'm not at all familiar with the thing, but the author is on here often enough
ooo finally founda derelic on the expedition..
good job
only took 3 seperate runs x.x
now, get aboard and collect the ipads, and go to the computers
It does, DBI is a homebrew thing
why does it look like some of the NPC's are carrying tablet pc's
i mean you can do it with a paperclip... it doesn't take much xD
It’s still considered illegal though
Distributing pirated content and making money off Nintendo's IP is illegal.
Modding your console is not, that's something that's been fought time and time again, and despite that you still see it in the Terms and conditions
they can ban you for it but that's all
let's not get too far into those weeds here
yeah, agreed, i just do not like misinformation
so bringing it back to expeditions... anyone start a plan for the titan rerun?
Beachhead felt like a bit of a downgrade in terms of fun did it not ?
yeah, i still enjoyed it tho tbh
it was a redux of the original you're not going to have the same experience from what i know of the game
I mean, it’s the second expedition they ever did, combined with milestones from the first expedition they ever did, in a redux format that makes it inherently shorter
From years ago?
yeah
Yes, Beachhead was released mid 2021
At least we don't have to collect literally sht
you get the same rewards tho, which is good
Didn't have to on this one
god the original kinda sucked at times
Well yeah since they hadn't added all the things that make this game what it is now in 2021 yet
Incorrect, rewards were remixed
oh? they looked the same to me
The rewards for this beachhead redux are not the same as the original beachhead rewards
Fleet commanders cape was from Polestar for example
You still get the emergency light fixture and other stuff no
Not as much as trying to help people during Breach and having to constantly say have you turned multiplayer off
I like multiplayer on so I can build bases for people to resupply their items
same, the game feels much better as a multiplayer experience
even if you're not interacting with others, just seeing people doing their own thing is way more refreshing than playing solo
I don't need the multitool expansion slots since mine are maxed , who do I give them to? Because selling them feels like a waste to me , and I want to make somebody's day better
i legit just dumpedthem on randoms XD
xD
What do they think I gave it to them by accident
Smh
Bet they are thinking "bru I already claimed my old multitool, give it to somebody else"
Pride is a powerful thing that overrides logic sometimes
i think my cat is sick... he's been behaving..
the mix of other milestones was from polestar which was expd 8, not pioneer, which eas expd 1
Oh oops
I think these milestones / rewards were identical to last year's (?) redux run of beachhead. well if not last year, then "recent"
Rewards are completely identical to last year, which is why I personally don’t care too much about Nintendo being slow this time, although I am starting to get a little angry
for new players, they are definitely getting the short endof the stick if they came on with switch 1
did switch 2 get the redux?
Its Nintendo as a whole, they usually (I say as if it’s been happening for years) don’t approve updates for one half without approving for the other half as well (even if one half is crippled)
well so all new players on switch got screwed, and you might imagine there to be a fair number of switch 2 players who came for the corvette update...
Yup
I genuinely think it’s because the update is numbered as a patch
And that makes Nintendo think it’s not important to release because ”they have the update”
You would think that hg has had this conversation with Nintendo folks multiple times by now. But who knows. (and there is always churn in tehse companies, so maybe people who knew the scoop last year are gone this year)
best thing they could do is try to argue for the ability to use their own updater, like warframe has, although from what i understand that's more a war than a fight itself
Im getting tempted to study just so i can work at Nintendo, and make sure specifically no man’s sky doesn’t get fucked over anymore
oof, my condolences if you do... they treat their staff horribly from what i hear
That’s kinda what’s stopping me
But I could probably get hired by Nintendo of Sweden, labor laws in Sweden are a lot stricter
working there and getting into that specific role are two very different things, as well
if it were a much smaller company you'd have a better shot at it
True
but uh by the time you got there, I bet LNF would be the new game on the block 😄 😄
A LOT of dumb stuff in user names. Generally as a rule I play with multiplayer off unless I specifically agreed to play with a friend, and that is extremely rare and even then I turn off multiplayer immediately after I finish playing with that friend. NMS is a vastly better game with multiplayer off imo, and that's without getting into all the bugs that multiplayer creates.
I can’t find the rendevous 5
there's usually people at it, or a save beacon near
if you went through a black hole, go to nearest star system, tp back to r4 system (it's in the pins), continue on
(in case you tried to leave the expd route to do undiscovered systems)
Is it on the purple planet with floating flower things?
Ok, I found the save beacon. It’s just strange that some of the rendezvous require you to touch down at the marker first and others require you to scan the portal to activate
you should just have to go to the point indicated by the icon at the portal itself, nothing more
anyways, if you got it done, that's the main thing. go go go!

Hey this is going to sound like a dumb question but I am stuck on a milestone for the Beachhead expedition. Milestone uncharted. All advice I found online says disconnect from the internet but I can't as I'm trying to stream it. Any help/advice would be appreciated.
the schedule, in a much more condensed format, is posted in a pinned message in here too
jump through black holes until you find an undiscovered system
then jump to nextdoor systems
choose a direction not left/right up/down and do say 3 warps. then look for a black hole system (ask polo if you can't findo ne by looking). go through. 3 more warps. still not in an undiscovered region? repeat the process.
(BUT before doing all this, make sure you've stopped at the r4 or r5 space station so you can get back, and that you wrote the name down)
You can also block NMS.exe in the windows firewall and achieve the same effect
I will try black holes, thank you.
Unfortunately I don't think I can do that as I'm on xbox
if you routed your xbox internet through the PC you could've but that requires restarting the stream
Unfortunately my Xbox is all I have atm, trying to save up for a pc though.
good luck, hope the streaming goes well!
What do I do for historography lesson? Do I need to find 3 monoliths?
I appreciate the vote of confidence.
Finally got it, took 4 black holes but finally got it.
three alien sites, I think
yeah, if you manage to get 1mil light years you just really need to make a couple random jumps from there
How do I complete nameless history? What kind of maps help me find ancient ruins?
the purple ones, for ancient artifact site
How do I deploy the myth beacon?
nvm I think I just needed to be outside my freighter
found one in the second rendezvous
On a planet.
Excellent
I don’t get why every time I find an alien ruin it says: Take a Dosimeter reading for Nada, and then gives me 15 silver? Is this a glitch? Or some infinite task you can keep doing?
Ok, so I can just farm it now?

U dont have much time tho
Yeah, I still have the 8 new systems mission to do:(
Take your game offline. They don't have to be new discoveries for everyone, your game just needs to not know about who discovered it before and it counts 😉
I did it in 10min. Big jump range helps a lot. I started jumping from rdv5 looking down or up . Pepole often forget that there are systems there
Real quick, I noticed there are a bunch of derelict ships in orbit over the final planet. Are these easy to find in the game now or is it worth going to them while I’m here?
Nope, that's unusual for the expedition. If you're inclined to farm a bunch without buying beacons I think it should work 🙂
They haven't changed in how to find them or how often in the main game
They are space encounters Spawned by other players i think
That many? I remember there were literal dozens.
Well however they got there, it's still not likely to find a swarm like that in the main game, so take the chance to farm away if you're so inclined 😄
Someone had to do it.... for science
basically what happens is , nothing
you get sent back to the first expedition planet, back in your frieghter, with your stuff broken as if you were just restarted, but at least your milestone progress isnt gone
So I tried to go to multiple of the derilict ships floating above the last planet of the expedition but they are all called the same thing: MS Sister of Yonab, and after I completed one it won’t let me enter any of the other ones 🤷♂️
Name is seed tied to the system. U need the emergency signal scaner for each one to open it.
They will have same layout
Imo no reason to do multiple other than farm
So what’s the easiest way to find new star systems for uncharted without going offline? Can I return to one of my main game bases and then go off from there?
They have to be discovered in expedition
High jump range helps. I did if from rdv5 and picked some unisual direction. Max ranege Jumped few times if i discovered new system i jumped to nieghbour systems.
To find a new system do you have to land on a planet or just jump there?
Just jump there
Ok, but someone said you can jump from the community highlight bases. So are those all found in the expedition?

Idk if that will work. If the bases where build in normal mode and expedition should be seperate instace in teory. U can try and see and just go back if it wont work.
Ok, what do I do when I beat the expedition? How do I bring all my stuff back to main save?
you go to the quicksilver vendor and "buy" the stuff in the expedition tab.
Yeah, but can’t you bring back resources (not just the reward items)
Is the myth beacon not available in offline mode?
Got the step to buy it
Can't find it in the vendor
are you looking in the normal quicksilver items menu or the expedition menu, because the mythbeacon is in the normal menu in the categorie where the egg is
I think you need to be online
if I start this expedition today, is it possible to finish it by the time the next redux is live?
yes
how hard is it to find a black hole ? why i cant find it
Talk to Polo
did that how can i find new system every time i warp its already discovered by someone
Keep warping or go offline
discover 8 new star systems is absolutely sadistic for online players
yeah it sucked
but going offline completely then starting the game, allowed me to complete it.
especially when the milestones dont reward nearly enough warp fuel
seriously give us more warp hypercores
I had no problem just building a bunch of the basic ones.
I was just annoyed cause every system was already claimed while online and I could only warp to the basic system, since I couldn't finish building the blue star drive
yeah I wish there was a way to deactivate indium
or any of the activated metals
other than make chromatic metal they really have no purpose
well you can copy them by combinding with chromatic metal... but I didn't have any indium during that expedition. >.>
Phew, finally completed after 11h47m of gameplay
my myth beacon doesn't work
I didn't even know it was possible to do this omg, at least you're likely to find undiscovered systems!

are you at the marked boundary failure poi?
We approach the 24h notice 
im at the marked system
no point marked on a planet when you're looking at them from space?
yep
multiplayer on by any chance?
it should be on ?
no
if it's off, that's good
eliminates a source of bugs
I would try save-exit-reload, select the milestone, wait a minute, see if the marker shows up
you need to be led to one of those boundary failure items on an exotic world in the system
(the boundary failure items look like very large teleporters but no glowy bits in them)
i did that but didn't work i even checked two planets but no luck
hm try warping away, save-exit-reload, warp back in, check again? what does he log say or the tooltip in the lowe rright?
(I'm going to have to disappear in 8 minutes for work, if I stop responding that's why)
polo has located a suitable site for the deployment of myth beacon in space, consult the glaxy map to locate echo source
what does the galaxy map show?
and if you select "current mission" in the map, what does that route look like?
can i just go somewhere else and use this beacon to find new system ?
noo
omg
the beacon needs to be used once you have arrived at the right location, at a marked boundary faiulre on the right planet in the right system
there is an atlas interface in this system if it has something to do with it
no
how about discarding the beacon ?
again, in the galaxy map, if you have the milestone selected and you choose 'current mission' for the route in the galaxy map, what does it show?
no, don't throw away the beacon, keep it
ok, I would follow the route it shows (go back to the r5 system if you need to and proceed from there)
and then what ?
then when you are in the right system, it will give a marker on a planet... go there... it will be an approximate location... get to the actual boundary failure, let the tooltip catch up, go to the specific place where the marker is on the boundary failure... deploy the beacon right there... baack away from the boundary failure al ittle and look around at the sky until Something Happens 🙂
so the marker in that system is just troll ?
or i am just dumb and dont know the mechanics of this game ?
I don't see a marker fr it. there's the atlas interface, freighter marker, a marker showing you are there
but no mission marker, if you understand my meaning
ohhh i get it now. so i was being a dumb ass for an hour
thank you
yw!

Check your dms whenever you can
I don't have dms open
i'm keep warping between systems but i cant find it
go back to r5 system, start again
(r5 system is Ruberoml XVII, get there via space station tp)
What charts am I looking for?
i also think I had to go to a system for each race. The alien artifact charts
Planetary Alien Cartographic
"alien sites"
So I need one from each type then
no, just one type for all three
Are you saying only need one chart
only one type
I got the one type chart.. I meant one chart from each type of alien
nope, just one for all of them
you can get three charts and just use one in each type of alien system, I think.
species doesnt matter for the charts
what items should i keep from expedition ?
whatever you want... the frieghter upgrades are goood choice
I keep the stuff that is hard to get, expensive, unique, or useful.
but im new to game just played 2 hours and started expedition thats why im asking
the rewards are the most unique thing, and the ability to copy your Ship and MultiTool is a great headstart
Corvette parts, Exosuit, ship, or salvaged frigate expansion modules.
keep anything that's hard for you to get on the main save
if you're not sure what that is: anything you've not yet seen on the main save, you've got 24 resource and 8 tech slots so that's a good amount of space
you get the freighter during the main quest lines. However, the expedition will speed up the process of getting ship expansion slots and upgrades faster than the main quest line.

oh crumbs i do not have time
i think i sold most of the upgrades im not sure tho D:
Yeah.
Question. If I start the expedition now and it ends can I complete it or do I loose that?
You should be able to complete it in a few hours if you follow a guide
Yeah but for if I miss it
the issue you might have is the frigate expedition milestone.... I didnt see expeditions with less than 4 hours. How do the guides get you through that
You recall them
really?? That counts the expedition?
You gotta choose abort then talk to the captain to finish it
i went and recruited every c class freighter I could and just sent them out
well I could afford that is
thats a lotta nanites when you're done
yeah, 2k nanites per expedition.
awards if I remember... but yes, I got a bunch of loot
per recruited frigate
i also brought an atlantid drive in with me and was able to find a bunch of systems that werent discovered close to the rendevous systems
Yeah I picked up a few ships from crashed ones and made a good amount that way too
yeah, the rescue milestone got me a few ships to salvage as well
good point
I’m never doing an expedition without a corvette, such a game changer
I brought mine but I didnt copy it back in. I ended up copying in a fighter when I realized how much more maneuverable they were. Used up the expansion on the fighter. The last expedition I had a corvette and now I have two and need to get rid of the other one
I need to archive some ships on one of my main saves, aleady at 12 and no room for a corvette, ugh. just from claiming a few expedition reward ships
When I went back I put a bunch of items in the exit screen where did they all go?
NM I found them

24 days since the last time switch 1/2 got a patch, there have been patches available for that entire time
Im fishing Wudleso Gamma (rdz 1) trying to complete Icy Veins and unable to catch any uncommon frozen fish after an hour. Should I find deeper water? Use something but mealworms? How long does this take?
the uncommon fish must be native to an ice/frozen type biome, mealworms work fine, water depth doestn matter
are you on an frozen type planet?
yea. finally caught a couple so guess its possible but not easy
the fishing can be some what irksome, because of the huge pool of fish and the rng nature
yea i need the rng to even out a bit. only 21 hours left
the mealworm bait helps, but even using your catches as bait can sometimes improve on that
didnt know u could do that
mealworms are cheap enough to make, recommend
its a bit of a faff but its useful to know
Does the exptime command adjust for local time on my device?
I’m finished with all the phases but need some sleep before I transfer the stuff I want back.
i don't know for sure, but 30mins ago, it read ends 18 Nov 15:00 (approx 21hrs) and i'm GMT
Says 9am and I’m CST so that clocks (pun intended)
I had better luck with spicy chum, got em all in 15 tries. I have some left over if you want it
I'm good now thanks. Finslly caught the little buggers
exptime shows the end time in your local time, always

Yup, I thought they wouldn't be able to extend it due to the Xbox delay. Luckily and sadly, Arc Raiders has filled a sadness gap. I'm over it.
Was gonna try and burn through it today and tomorrow.
you could get it done today (i.e. in the next 18 hours) if you have a 3-4 hour block free someplace
And a magic switch patchalizer....
ah, didn't realize the player was on switch. then yeah, impossible...
But there's always tomorrow... Typically the patch drops between 12 and 2. So that's a good 45 minutes after download.... Just have to pretend to have IBS at work. Finally my uncontrollable flatulence will pay off!
In fairness I think they're on XBox but I wasn't going to let that get in the way of my self pity party!

type can change too, yes, drawing from a different pool, see. it's complicated, don't ask me to explain and get itright
tl;dr; find an S cabinet, go to each planet in system, land, reload, go back to cabinet. see which one you like best
Isn't this for space station cabinets? The comment talks about getting a MT from a Sentinel Pillar. Does the same principle apply for Sentinel Pillars as well?
not just space station cabinets, and I guess it might apply to sentinel cabinets too
I work all day and don't get home til 7pm. While I do have almost literally 3-4 hours, I hate crunching things at my age. I'll do the other ones.
spider I would try it and see on one (S class of course, not worth the bother otherwise)
Okay. Thanks.
I made a lot of progress last night and even did the weekend nexus mission 2x, but I’m worried I won’t be able to get it done because the stuff I haven’t done is the most difficult (all of phase 5, mainly), especially when it takes me a while to finish these things, I hardly can get expeditions done in a few hours, even when spread across a few days! I also have a huge process for transferring all my stuff back too, which honestly takes me up to an hour sometimes
if you're wlling not to worry so much about transferring items back, you can get this one done in pretty short order. there are tips in here (see pins) to make some things easier.
Yeah I’ve been looking at the pins throughout the expedition, always love having as much help as possible!
so do I understand you have mostly phase 5 left?
I think I have all of phase 5 (still shows as encrypted too) and the uncharted milestone from phase 4 left, I don’t remember if I completed the frigate expedition milestone or if I nearly completed it cause I had sent one out before I went to bed but that one should be done if not already, so yeah, basically phase 5 left
ok well that is honestly the easy one
the only thing that will take any time is the 8 uncharted worlds, and the fix for that is easy enough
Yeah, I know I can just go offline but I do want to try black hole method first
it is: go to space station (r5 I guess, then you can get back easily), note te name. now open galaxy map, do three warps in a specific direction but make sure it's not up/down or left/right because everyone chooses those. then look for a black hole system nearby, if youcan't see one ask polo to give you coords. go through it, 3 more warps. if you're still seeing systems disocvered by others, repeat.
it's a little time consuming and you may have to deal with warp fuel but that's really all there is to it
Yeah I figured it would be a bit time consuming, luckily I have a lot of warp cells I brought in so that’s no worry
I'm not going to need the 5 frozen fish I caught later in the exp am I? just releasing them is fine?
Release for free nanites
the "flux readings for nada" isthe only other thing that might take a little while, you need to know that you want "alien site" charts for that step. but there's info in the tips post here for that
I was super disappointed with this Expedition. I didn't understand the difference between a freighter and frigate until I completed. So the Normandy is just an errand ship that you can't actually ever see or board; you just command it to go on passive missions. Lame 👎
ty
you can see it when it's not on missions; it will be outside your freighter
Still pretty lame though
I brought in nav data specifically for that
and given that you can't board it, it can't take damage on a mission.
I thought you could board it like any other frigate
Just disappointed as they could have done so much more with it. Oh well.
probably issues of copyright IP; frigates have certain set floor plans, etc, and tose would not be applicable here, likewise using the names from the M.E. franchise of crew etc might be an issue
Perhaps. I would have thought they cleared all the IP hurdles though to even have it in the game at all. It was likely they just didn't have the time or resources to do more with it. Tbf, it was only the 2nd Expedition.
it was, but also nms frigates are allprocgen from a set pool; this would have entailed grafting on a totally custom build onto that, with all that entails
anyways I am happy to have an undamageabl frigate one can fly close to and get nice pics with. nms is primarily about wallpaper generation anyhow 😄
True. Modeling the ship to show up outside your freighter is a lot different than having to model an entire custom interior.
ayup
and you have to realize that at the time no one knew what the last three missions in phase 5 were
it was time gated and the original expd announcement said nothing about mass effect or crossovers or aything
not a peep
so when it finnally happened.... heh
Oh, did not know that. I was still in awe when it come into Orbit after completing the last milestone. I can only imagine it being a total surprise.
yeah they done good on that one
is there a good way to find an airless planet/moon or is it just dumb luck?
any body with rusted metal on the list will work; but there's one in rdv2 system
Part of the point is its a nearly invincible ship and people send it on max star rating for the "suicide run" memento
(normandy cant be damaged at all, so it's not like the risk exists 🤭 )
Hi, at the end of the expedition can we only take back a single set of items in the exchange area or can we take back multiple sets?
you can take back multiple sets (and hopefully someone who remembers how that works will describe it, there's a very specific procedure)
Well you have 24 cargo slots and 8 tech slots of stuff you can send back but you can only load them up once. You can stuff them with whatever you can fit in them but I'm pretty sure that stuff only becomes available in the main save once you close the expedition and at that point there's no return.
Hmm, can you bring back a ship too? And if so, can you load that up with items too?
You can bring back a ship but no, cargo does not transfer with it. Only its installed tech does. Something you can do is install tech you like to the expedition ship or MT, copy it to the main save, retrieve the installed tech, scrap the ship/MT and then you can copy it again. But copying the ship or MT costs nanites each time.
Ok, so I can also copy my ship with a bunch of the ship tech attached. I’ll try that then
Does anyone know the exact time the expedition ends and in what time zone?
is the mission for activating the myth beacon on a very specific planet? or just a specific type of planet? Because i've been jumping from system to system and still have not reached the planet the game wants me to find lol

(shorter form)
Ok, it’s always in local time. Thanks
You have 16 hours and 19 minutes left.
here is a previous post on how using the anomaly terminal multiple times works: #nms-expedition message
When you're trying to get to the aid of a stranded lifeform, how do I find them?
Planetary charts from cartographer or nexus mission.
I've used those, and all they find me, are broken down ships without a live pilot, broken frieghters, abandoned buildings and other items of interest but no stranded pilots
What you do is use 3 charts at once before going to any of the sites they marked. Charts can only mark one of each at a time: crashed ship without pilot, crashed ship with pilot, and crashed freighter. Once you clear a marked location they can mark another of that same kind.
Is there any guide on what the best modules earned on the expedition to take back are. I know some missions gave unique modules. I heard some of the ones for the freighter are supposed to be really good
I think it's 5 charts (5 types of emergency signal)
anyways yeah the procedure is the same: open them all, spam through any error messages, then go visit
That would be my issue. I've been going to each one, then using another. Thank you!!
as to what to bring back, if you haven't seen it on the main save, bring it if you have space, whynot.
Not really...a lot of that is RNG and different from player to player. You have to look and see if any of your tech modules got good rolls or not.
in general expansion slots of any kind are good; tech modules for the freighter may be useful if you don't have them already
There's nothing really unique in terms of tech modules...some have really good stat rolls that are somewhat rare but there's nothing in this redux that you can't get on your main save tech wise. But as apergos said, expansion slots are always good to transfer if your main save still needs them and you haven't spent them yet.
Ok, it seems like some are unique. Like the one the freighter starts with or gets after one mission complete that gives it longer jump distance
Only the freighter's habitation tech or whatever it's called is unique, and it does nothing and you can't transfer it because you can't remove it. The other stuff is all normal freighter tech you can have on your main save.
Ok, so definitely I should sell all the purple mystery ones for nanites since those are pure RnG and then keep whatever gold ones I like?
Purple mystery what? You are probably talking about sentinel tech...I think your suit starts with one. You get those from the glass shards you get by destroying barrels dropped by sentinels.
Yeah, the sentinal tech you gotta open before seeing what it is (but then lose the nanite value)
Often times, you'll find stuff more valuable than the original
if you find those easy to get, then sure, sell 'em off
I mean, once you have an upgraded suit and multitool on your main save you can farm sentinels for glass shards really easily and the tech modules are fairly common rewards from those. Wouldn't be easy to farm them in the expedition because your exosuit isn't very upgraded and you'd be far easier to kill but on an established save they're not hard to farm.
different players have different playstyles, for some it's gonna be easy enough, for others maybe not such a fun thing. their call
(but one can buy suspicious packets from pirate systems as an alternative, and units are easy to get too... still, it's all in what people find easy/fun to do and what they dislike)
hello all, does anyone know the end time in GMT? I'd really rather not cram the rest in tonight as I want to sleep lol thanks.
sorry it's above
The contraband tech(X class modules) are a replacement or poential upgrades from S class modules. But the sentinel upgrades exist outside of that and can be installed along with the S or X modules so they have more value. You can have 3 exosuit S or X modules, then you can have 3 exosuit sentinel modules next to them, and then you can have 3 exosuit autophage modules...those all stack.
tomorrow 15:00
thanks sorry if I scrolled up a bit its right there, many thanks

^^That shows in your local time.
Perfect I'll keep that in mind 😄
oh yeah, I forget about the sentinel-specific ones because of the boltcaster-only applicability for the weapons ones. I mean, I'll install 'em anyways but they are low priority, and I don't min max things so trying to squeeze the last bit of stats out of them is jus tnot on my todo list
Honestly having the sentinel tech modules next to X class modules make the boltcaster the best mulitool weapon. It takes more effort to max than Neutron Canon and displays a lower number than neutron canon but the fire rate and precision mean it will kill a lot faster than Neutron Cannon.
I'll never know because I reach for the shotgnu every time 😛
hm now wondering what a shot-gnu looks like!
I FINISHED THE NMS EXPEDITION LETS GOOOOO
ill take photo of the frigate
there it is
normandy sr1 and my corvette ship
also, i looked up for curiosity "best sci fi ships" and normandy sr1 was on the list
my corvette ship
I thought the sentinel tech mods affected all multitool weapons - even though it looks like it links to the boltcaster.
Boltcaster only.
I stand corrected.
the text says it applies to all but testing shows it ain't so
Guys, I think Beachhead I'll be the last expedition of this year because I think the rest the prices seems to have already had them and I'm familiarize that were from the previous latest expedition I been, so I don't think I'll be bother not going those
And yeah this one specific reason why I wanted this because of the ship I never had before I assuming this is the one I missed
So I assuming the rest like the living ship, the corvette and specially the last previously expedition that came this year
Is the ||Normandy|| a starship or a Corvette?
Also, I gotta give HG one thing. They know how to end a journey.
Is not a corvette or ship, this is to add on your freighter an s-class larger one. Sorry I can't remember the name
Hold on let me look
Hmm...
How do I find the Expedition rendezvous planets? is there a command here in discord that identifies them?
Yes it is a frigate
I would have preferred it as a Corvette/Starship tbh
pinned post in this channel
it would not have been a corvette, those arenew, this is from expd 2 in 2021 😄
And I think that frigate was an inspo from a popular scifi game
uh huh Mass Effect
How do I see pinned posts. I am not all too familiar with how discord works.
Yes that
I definitely need to play Mass Effect because I seen fans that love this game and even artists haha
Its a good game, to be sure.
I do love scifi games, so this might be the thing to try
Maybe next year if possible when next season sales drop
Well atleast seeing its reveal to the backdrop of Supermoon was epic af so I guess I cant complain

@merry path ^^
Btw that last mission of discovering star systems was definitely the trick to stay offline for surely confirmed and it worked 100%
that gif needs updating.. oops wrong reply
Cool. Thanks @indigo falcon @unkempt kraken
I literally brute forced it
OMG 😅
Spent like 10 warp cells warping away from around a blackhole till I found systems that were not discovered
Yes yes, like I was stuck on that part because peeps already discovered and no way for it and yeah after reading the pin if possible, it worked
black hole -> a few warps, anotehr black hole, but choose a direction that's not up/down/left/right, because everyone does that
Was too lazy to go untangling the rats nest thats my wire situation. I had the ferrite and chromatic metal anyway so I just made like 2 stacks of warp cells and kept warping while I watched some Warhammer lore videos in the background
anyways if you got it done, that's the important thing
Also, recently I turned multi-player off so I'll be solo for now because I'm getting some bit of lags when going to those, so yeah I better go off alone
Still not needed
What annoyed me the most were the different biome planets
Why I needed, because I genuinely don't have any friends sadly
Cuz I forgot to "tag" the system space stations
oopsie
oops, always drop by, even if only for the the suit expansion slots
Luckily, there were a lot of bases so I managed to find Rendezvous planets
Dang I haven't touched my freighter and I think I did a good job organizing up and made quite good room to store my stuff nicely and yeah this was good to comeback there and I forgot it's S Class lol with the colors I love
nice nice
Also, I was planning to make Fungal plants production on my freighter so I can make a fish baits for high rarity chance
Because it needed Lubricant to craft it
So maybe I'll do it this week because I was salvage stuff on crashed freighters to get slots and possible freighter parts to improve stats, although had no luck for it 💫 At least some multi tool slots because I need to increase the slots for one of my A Class Limited Time ones I got from one of the expeditions
I still need to upgrade both to S Class because there not strong as my Atlas Staff, dang that Staff is an absolute monster like it has like more than 50k damage overall, I never let go using it all the time
This is how I can easily defeat an army of sentinels without any issues and etc
I have too many mts on the current save, need to prune, then I can deal with the atlas (really behind on expd reward claims)
Do you need to talk to nada after getting the 3 echos?
I don't think so, see what the tooltip says though
it's been too long since I ran this, and it wasn't the remix with polestar either
nope
@indigo falcon it says to select the anomalous research mission to help produce a definitive map of these historical anomalies but when I go to it Research alien history and language is unchecked. I do not know what I have to do here.
ignore the community mission its been complete
I guess I have to just go to the anomaly to get the Myth Beacon?
get your three echoes, then go get a myth beacon
He still has to go to three monoliths or artifacts though.
Got them already.
myth beacon time thne
I collected them already unless I need to go and get three more at a different location? I think I accessed the plaques for all three of them.
you're good to go
Ok. I shall go to the Anomaly to get the beacon then.
If you got those three and bought the myth beacon you're good to proceed.
@heady pilot @vapid heron Thanks for the info. 🙂
hey fam
so, i dont click on the hype, but did another studio respond to internet flame?
dunno what that's about but sounds unrelated to nms expedition
wut?
if it's related to nms, try in the main channel #no-mans-sky
in comparison to our HG folks, was my tie in - but it's cool we're not going to do that today...
yeah yeah - i know i'll stfu
about 14 hours left to wrap up, everybdy, so get in there and Get It Done

about to take a dosimeter reading for our boi NAda.. how aboutchu?
I ran this in 2021 so long since done 😄
but I don't want anyone to be caught unawares
yeah I might have too, but I bought another copy to play it all fresh again
I don't have the patience for that, already have like 4 "main saves"...
i can sense that, I was thinking of buying a copy on GOG so I can have three places to play. i need to delete saves OR like this time around and because they alllow starting expo INSIDE the anomaly, I might start stacking them
I actually almost ran out of save files, then they introduced the mechanic of being able to start from an existing save, a life saver so to speak!
i piled up a lot of saves because the expo wasn't stackable before. and i fell in love with each new save
I've never deleted a save file. most I don't play again, but I do have 4 that are pretty developed
its freighter
nope
frigate

yes frigate, i dont talk english nativeley
no worries
ok
big ship, starts with fr, etc. and if you're playing in another language you won't necessarily know which is which
ok
freighter - you only have one, you can send out fleets from there. frigate - you can have many, you send them out from freighter to get goodies
ohh
oh right freighter is the big ship ohhh yeah i remember now 🤣
thanks
how many frigates expeditions did we have to send out back then like 10?
uh
those are many
lemme see the original milestones
you keep notes?
oh that was from polestar
uh
I do have notes but I'm looking actually on the wiki for this 😄
hehe
do i get the expedition role after finishing it?
or it dosent apply with the redux expeditions
you can claim it yourself, thse are self-assigned, sure go get for any you completed
the roles channel I think
oh ok, i made the corvette expedition, the one where there's a corvette and its destroyed and that
so, the ss normandy that you get is a ship that can go into any fleet on any save?
My game bugged out and I’m not able to get any frigate fuel, meaning I can’t complete the expedition can anyone help me out?
breach
you claim it as a frigate onetime on any save file you have now or may create
yeah
so it ca nbe a part of your grifate fleet on each save
@indigo falcon cool!
expand on that you dont have the blueprint - because you make the fuel
did you build a fleet command room?
on your freighter di dyou claim all the rewards?
did you then interact with the room afterwards?
maybe you missed something
and before all of that did you talk to the freighter navigator?
I think I did
I believe so yes
sad
it wasn't working that wway for me this time like usual; i had to buy it with freighter salvage
while you cant do anything about it try to complete other things before its too late
yese you CAN
let's see what the player has tried first
so: go talk to navigator, build a fleet command room if you have not already, then interact with the room
see if that gives you the blueprints
its possible mate just might work
Yeah I'm doing everything else but the espedition ends soon and the expeditions take time so I wanna make sure I get that done
yeah
🫡
breath
er breathe
you can choose to releax and read do likes the guy says it should work at some point.
well i got nothing to say apergos and cattips said what i was thinking 🤣 but keep calm and relax
let us know how it goes please
I just interacted with the room and got the blueprints 😛
I feel silly now
Thank you guys
oh good u got em
enjoy!
Thank you!
you can also make this: send the frigate to a mission then cancel the mission and repeat
yes, recommended so your fleets take virtually no time, you ned th etime to wrap things up
Will it count for the mission?
yep!!
wich is pretty good because that "feature" saved me from not being able to make redux
after u send frigate to mission just go to the command room and cancel
you're getting close keep it up
score! its still overwhelming when the thing happens
so, when i get back to my "save" will I need to recover my thing again ? it doesn't go with me
it's an expedition reward so yeah you claim it on the main save
or on any other save you have too 🙂
quicksilver vendor -> expedition rewards
yeah lost my thought and forgot i am kinda new to using a save to run exoedton
mahn i clicked accept and have gotten interupted four times heading to the local station!
lolol
running a full expedition rewards you pretty hard, but, have anyone figured out how much to unload and where is the best locations for your horde
before turning in at anom?
which horde, sorry?
the collection of random items = horde
good
i was wondering ifd anyone tried to figure if one method of transfer pays better than an other?
wydm?
oh, which things to sell yourself and which things to let the game convert
well, i ran expedition and now I am planning to go back into og save... it pays out pretty well for the junk i've collected... it would be a thing the NMS nerds would test out, if they had the mindta
well, if you want nanites out of your tech items, sell them yourself at space stations
other than that, I got no info, haven't tested
I presume the same is true for things you could refine for nanites; do that, don't letthe game autoconvert, you likely get units instead
on my other save i collected a lot of both unit and nanites, i don't think it's going to matter. in the end i do want to bring a nice new ship back tho for a mere 2800 nanites
cheap cheap cheap
Yall know a good way to find undiscovered systems? I've been to like 10 now and they've all been discovered
3 warps in some direction (not the usual up/down left/right, however); then find a black hole system near you and go through that, if you don't see one, ask Polo for coords; then 3-4 more warps and see. still discovered by others? repeat the process
before you go, go to space station, write down name (or make sure you've been to r4 or r5 one), so you can get back later
*hoard
ahh! that's why I couldn't make it make sense
heeh cool i find a way to spell everything wrong - and on a copmuter that loves to spell check lol
I just figured it was an idiolect thing
horde is people, hoard is items
hums "in the ranks of the Great Dark Horde...."
you need nanites?
just disconnect the internet
and then register what you see
it' snot about the nanites, there's a milestone
8 uncharted planets
er systems, sorry
Method to discover new systems ? Doing hyperspace after hyperspace into the void and nothing.
So ive been to 58 systems, still not at at the 5th rendevous. Does this sound right to anyone?
sounds like you're a little off course
I keep following the expedition path. Did make the mistake of going to early through black holes looking for uncharted systems but the distance traveled was alot less than what I have done so far
no. go back to r4 system via space station tp and try again
teh black hole will have sent you several hundred k light years away from the expedition area
read back about 8-9 messages before your post
once you went through the black hole, should use the station teleport to get back on track, hopefully you stopped by all the expedition stations before you went
just R1 through R3 it seems. So once I get to R5, how long is phase 5? Not sure I have time to finish this
well tpo back to r3 then, and it won't be awful at any rate
phase 5 is pretty fast
the last two encrypted missions are very quick indeed
if you don't have navigation data, stop in every space station after warp and look for the little blue or yellow cubes around, interact to get some
save you time so you're not hunting for it later
you'll want 5.
the system teleports are annotated with the rdv systems so it should be simple enough to get back
sounds good - see if i can get back on track
selling a lot of junk before ending doesn't net more units etc.. but that is a one off attempt at trying somthing different...
it's more about maxing out your nanites
This expedition is one big annoying hassle. Forcing myself thru it, nothing fun about it.
have to agree
Start from zero..... farm a bunch of basic resources all over again, use a bunch of ineffective equipment.... teleport around a bunch doing meaningless objectives. I appreciate the lore elements but this gameplay is tedious.
expeditions always start from the beginning. but you already have a freighter, it could be worse 😛
It was a bit of a hassle at first starting from zero but atleast you can achieve the different tasks from phase 1-4 at the same time
And most tasks are stackable to do at the same time (ex - sending off frigates to expeditions while doing other tasks)
well snce you recall lthe frigates right away, there's not really concurrency at play there
and speaking of time... 11 and ahalf hours left, so get in there and Get It Done, explorers!
I'll be pulling an all nighter in hopes I can complete mine
use the tips posted in the pins here; follow a reliable video guide, you'll get it done, no need to stay up all night
Two tips, I'm assuming you know both already, but just in case.
1st: There are some guids that can push you through the entire thing in 2-3 hours. Reddit/Youtube is your friend depending on which you prefer (text or video).
2nd: After the first day of any expedition people start placing bases down like crazy, so you can find nanite farms, bases in all milestones, and the occasional resource base on top of it which makes the whole thing easier
So got to R5, now how to finish this? Video guide wasnt alot of help
i have stage 5 to complete again on another save with a workmate - i was telling him the last stage goes pretty fst, much faster than 8 uncharteds boo
rum check your inventory you might have the dosimeter
I do, havent figured out how to use it
Now select "Historiography Lesson" milestone, then use three "Alien Cartographic Data" planetary charts and visit three respective sites.
Pick the "Take Dosimeter reading for Nada" option all three times, and this will finish this milestone.
and here i am here trying to find the spoiler tags
if you don't hav navigation data to buy the "alien site" charts from thecartographer, get it by interacting with blue and yellow cubes at space stations, just tp from one to the next and poke all the cubes
Is there a way to search for undiscovered systems?
got it. i bought 3. never bought those before. thanks for the help, kinda desperate to finish this and go to bed
Thank you!!
go go go!
In order for the system to count, I just have to go into it right? I don't need to land on a planet, and discover all the fauna?
right. just warp into the system and get that lovely "First Contact" banner.
When warping out, if I have a fleet expedition going (working on getting those 3 down, all had an hour timer when started), distance I'm traveling isn't going to affect those timers, right?
no. but honestly you should just go to the freighter, cancel the fleet outing, debrief, repeat two more times, then that milestone is done
you don't have time to waste!
I think it's a type of shirt but ingame, Polo is a person, NPC
I'm a complete noob at this, but I've never been to the anomaly. How do I get there?
in space, summon via the quick menu
it's a round sphere when you're in the quick menu looking for it
once you've called it in, you can fly towards the "totally not a death star" object, the indentation is the docking area so head there
you'll probably get lost if it's your first time ni there, we have a map around here someplace
Most likely lol. Well, I'm headed there now to grab some maps for black hole coods
right.
just fly right into it, you'll eventually get pooted out into a far away region of space. now because black holes have fixed destinations, if osmeone else took that same one, you may end up in systems they found, which is why you do a few more warps in a different direction, and maybe go through another black hole, repeat until you get to uncharted areas
sounds good! Do all black holes lead the same direction? Like, if I took the same one in return, it would act like a worm hole instead of a black hole?
no
yeah, this worked for me, took a black hole, went in a random direction to the max of my warp range, and found an uncharted area, warped enough times to get 8 systems as first contact discoveries and I've completed the milestone!
While warping, found myself an icy planet with oceans. Time to go fishing lol
this expedition sucked ass
nooo they fixed it
wait a minute
IT WORKED??
dude you're a lifesaver

If you start an expedition on you main save, do the upgrades you have installed in you Exosuit and Multi-tool transfer into to expedition? If not, do you loose them forever?
they do not transfer in. the main save is "connected" to the expd save but it is not the same
no, they don't transfer, but they're still on your primary save, safe & sound
Thank you! What about your freighter? Does it transfer in and out of the expedition?
nope
you can copy in to the expd version of the save your ship and mt equipped onthe main save, for a cost of about 2800 nanites for each
you can send via the anomaly expeditio nterminal up to 24 resources and 8 tech items from the main to the expd save, these items are truly transferred and will no longer be on the main save
(but you can send them back at the end from the expd save to main save iff yo uwish)
the copies of the mt and ship are copies, the main save keeps the originals. cargo does NOT transfer with the ship, tech installed DOES get copied
that's about it.
Thank You! That clears it up a lot! I have been nervous about starting the next expedition on my main save.
so how far did yall have to go out for the "discover 8 systems" milestone?
for some people, oe black hole was enough, for others, 3-4
but 3 oght to be plenty for anyone, just make sure you take 3 good warps in between, in a direction that's not the usual up/down/left/right
how long does it take to typically do expedition? I just got to Nexus and saw only 9 hours remain for this expedition.
can do in 3-4 if you follow a guide, know how th egame works, read the tips pinned in this channel.
Lol I'm super new but I might go for it thanks
(note this requires you to NOT wait for fleet expedition to complete when you send frigates out, you MUST cancel the fleet and debrief, repeat 3 times to get that milestone done)
ok, I popped the alien charts, but I'm not sure which location I should be going to for the readings and the pins don't tell me either
guessing I havwe to see polo first?
if you can't see black holes on the map, then yeah ask Polo for coords
yes, polo gives coords
the game is about exploration and discovery after all
anyways, time's a wastin', get in there and get it done!
the irony ik
I'm doing my best, I know I need to complete & transfer what I want before bed tonight cause I'm not waking up early tomorrow to attempt to finish it, literally only have phase 5 left (just did the rdv) & I'm confused on where to go
what's the next milestone?
but I mean, 8 x however many people did the expedition in the game where we start in the same area
Hype for Titan!
historiography lesson, I mentioned earlier how I popped the charts but idk which marker to go to now
You're so close to the end
the alien site charts? go to the things they marked. hmm it might be one per planet
anyways go to one marked and follow the instructions
Gotta mark a Gek, Vykeen and Korvax Alien Plaque and use the thingy
yeah, but which marker will give me the readings? ancient ruin, monolith, or ancient plaque?
(iinteract with the monolith or whatever it is, you should get the choice to "take dosimeter reading for Polo")
monolith or plaque I believe
ah ok, that's what I was wondering
I forget the right names, there's one of these that won't work...
Then you gotta nab the myth beacon and go to a boundary failure and boom
but the ones where there's a way to interact and get lore, those ones work
I thought it was for Nada?
hmm guides seem to indicate all three sites work. well try it
yeah Nada, Polo, whichever. it will give you that option as the first choice. Do it 😛
they are kind of joined at the hip in my mind anyways 😛 😛
okay so pally and me finished the expedition together - found out that the end part does not work in group! every thing up to the last two stages of 5 worked fine tho
the beacon fails in group.
gtk, we usually recommend mp off for most expedition runs
of course - but we are pushing - as him and I do
