[remote thunder]

we believe in you 🙂 you got this!

[humble star]

wait tell you get to phase 3.....i would say nearly ripped my hair out but i shaved my head a few days ago

[patent olive]

Thanks 🙏

[remote thunder]

anything you get stuck on just ask

[frank thunder]

Is phase 2 rendevous point under water? how can I get there lol I dont have the submarine :(

ok nvm I found a base and they had the submarine

[patent olive]

22 more milestones to go outa 35

[humble star]

no phase 3 is underwater and its on radioactive water planet and i nearly had a fit on that planet LOL dark as heck underwater and made the crashed friegter milestone a nightmare

[frank thunder]

Yeah but the phase 2 rendezvous was also underwater, it was about 1000 units deeps, I could only get it by going all the way to the ocean floor. My partner was able to just get the rendezvous by jumping in the water so idk man. I know that phase 3 is underwater and I am SCARED

[humble star]

i pretty much hate all underwater stuff...gives me anxiety

[frank thunder]

yeah I have thalassophobia lmao

[humble star]

another milestone that ticked me off was the one where i had to find a tornado LOL i still dont know how i fouond one but i did

[lavish stream]

What’s that phobia?

Sea creatures?

[humble star]

fear of the deep ocean in general...i think

and yes im right fear of large open bodies of water

[lavish stream]

Ah

That’s rough

[frank thunder]

a lot on gas giants

[remote thunder]

some players had trouble doing it at rdv3, but got it easily done at starter planet

dont know why; but the same thing happened with the original exp17 release

[humble star]

i eyeballed at least 17 of what looked like tornados but just ended up being dust storms LOL

[frank thunder]

small ones are dust storms but the BEEEEG ones are tornados, i ran into one as soon as I landed mustve been lucky af

[remote thunder]

tornadoes always have lightning strikes in the middle

and yeah, a lot bigger, debris is pulled up a lot higher too

also definitely listen for the woosh, and dont move much - just wait

tornadoes have a habit of coming for the player

[humble star]

important thing is i got it 🙂 im surprised i finished the expedition in time LOL cool ship i got from it and staff LOL i feel like the goa'uld from stargate now

[remote thunder]

it's been a whilesince i've watched stargate, but yeah definitely similar haha

[worldly salmon]

more of an Ori vibe

[remote thunder]

wait wasnt Ori a thing in stargate? yeah

anyways, offtopic 🙂

nah, dont need to delete

i said that mostly for myself tbh

[humble star]

ive already been warned twice ....i dont need another one

[remote thunder]

i think these things are fine if we dont keep going on and on you know? a sentence or two, but best to restrain ourselves.

problem sometimes then is that someone else comes in and wants to keep going.. 😅 that's also why i.. well, it's all good hehe

[ocean jasper]

I have a problem. When I got to the doomed under water freighter it just wasnt there. Just empty ocean floor

[remote thunder]

i've seen this reported by other players. goto a planet with water that doesn't have lithium on the list - keep multiplayer disabled

@ocean jasper note that system must be gek or korvax or vykeen

[humble star]

ok chances are you just cant see it maybe? that was mine cause i was on the nuclear water planet that i got sent to and the water was dark...dark...DARK! lol

[ocean jasper]

Not a visibility issue . Just seems like it isn't loading. And there is people also looking for it too

[humble star]

ah ok, i just wanted to make sure 🙂

i freaked out when igot down to the frieghter and couldnt figure out where to get the log at first i thought i had to dig it up which would of meant i needed to leave and get resources for the laser to dig which would of sucked since i was 1400+ under the sea but luckily i found the log LOL i panicked getting to it since my O2 ran out super fast and i had to get back into my exocraft fast

My progress so far

[prisma tundra]

You’ve got 2 days left, I believe in you, you got this!

[patent olive]

I’m trying 😆

[prisma tundra]

I honestly forgot about the expedition and now I’m worried I won’t get it done in time but seeing that you’ve just started gives me hope cause I’m about halfway through, I wish you the best of luck!

[patent olive]

You too my friend, you got this too!!

[prisma tundra]

Thank you!!

[frank thunder]

partner and I are like 3.5/5, did phase 1 like a week ago and are just now smashing it out, plenty of time

The time Gunter displays is automatically converted to the time zone your computer or device uses to show time.

[patent olive]

Oh well crap

[heady pilot]

Just short of 35 hours left...but that's more than enough. Expedition shouldn't take more than 8 hours at most and could be done in as little as 2-3 hours.

How do you make yeast in this game?!?!?!? I’m freaking out

[pseudo bane]

just faecium in the nutrient processor

either feed animals and gather or kill them and refine the mordite

[patent olive]

Oh ok I remember now

Thank you

[prisma tundra]

Fair

[velvet surge]

I smashed the whole expedition in like 2 days lol

Wanted to get it done quick xD

[wicked oriole]

should I copy the pillar of titan as well, or just the wraith? would it be a waste of nanites to duplicate the multitool?

[patent olive]

I just jumped in the water and got the rendezvous milestone

[heady pilot]

Pillar of Titan is a bad staff. It costs 50k nanites to upgrade to S class and the fixed seed guarantees it will only have a +35% damage bonus when staffs can have up to +50% so that is terrible. And it doesn't have any additional function or benefits like the Atlas Scepter which at least has the Runic Lens so you can also install the normal Mining Beam and then supercharge them both and the Optical Drill for the most possible resources from mining so you can at least make the Atlas Scepter into a top tier mining multitool that also has a 35% damage bonus which is more than Atlantid MT's can have...which are the only other alternative when it comes to having a mining multitool.

[wicked oriole]

wow, i had no idea, thank you for the in-depth answer!!

[frank thunder]

any tips for finding sunken freighter? been at around 1300 depth for like 20 mins now driving around with my partner split up and we both havent found one

[heady pilot]

Install the scanner on the Nautilon and you can then use the Nautilon to scan specifically for sunken freighters.

[frank thunder]

nvm

yeah we had the scanner but didnt realise there was a sub menu when pressing x

[patent olive]

I’m almost done

[zealous tree]

can someone share 125 indium in titan expedition?

[fallow rampart]

Where are you? You only need one piece and can double it with Chromatic Metal.

[zealous tree]

im in saskjav system, shall i be on space station there or anomaly?

[ripe flame]

when does titan end, 12am nov2, or do we have the day? part of the day? till 11:59pm local time?

You have 29 hours and 40 minutes.

[heady pilot]

Yes.

[ripe flame]

an average player can do it in?

[heady pilot]

Shouldn't take more than 8 hours of play at most. Can be done as quickly as 2-3 hours.

[ripe flame]

ok

looking at possibly having to reinstall windows on another drive due to this vulkan crap. thats what I get for not opening the game since dec of 23

[patent olive]

I started the expedition around 2pm yesterday and finished around 3am.

[zealous tree]

ty for tips, i took my main save copy of ship which has same drive i needed

[ripe flame]

i assume if you are in when the time is out you get kicked out?

even in single player?

I am going to cross my fighers and install windows on my other m.2 drive and see if I can get a nvidia driver to install there. If I can get a successful install ill be able to play later today. otherwise, no more nms or likely likely light my fire either as they will prob use vulkan for that and if I cant get it to install Im stuck.

[pseudo bane]

Does the build menu not contain base computer at the start of this expedition?

[jagged sedge]

Nope - it's a reward for getting to rendevous 1

[pseudo bane]

Yup, thanks. I couldn't even get it from the anomaly when I checked.

[jagged sedge]

One thing I like about the redux expeditions is how quickly we can get stuff - we even started with the ultimate hyperdrive upgrade

[pseudo bane]

I'm all over the place when I do stuff. One of the charms of ADHD. 😄

[jagged sedge]

Yeah, I feel that - I'm heading off toward something and the other shiny thing drags me away

[blazing fossil]

You get it from a milestone

[heady pilot]

You don't need to build a base at any point and with only 28 hours remaining you should focus purely on getting the milestones done. Once you complete the expedition you can worry about the other stuff like building a base or whatever but for now the clock is ticking.

[pseudo bane]

Aw shucks, pa.

[blazing fossil]

Yes you do, phase 4 milestone 2 is ”Build a base on a gas giant”

[ripe flame]

omg no more vulkan error but i dont get past the hello games screen..maybe I am close to solving this

[heady pilot]

Ah, my bad then. But yeah, focus purely on milestones, and knock them out fast. That one should just be base computer and 15 parts which you can quickly spam some carbon floors or whatever...once milestones pops you can delete the base and move on.

[blazing fossil]

3 floors, 7 walls, a door and roofs

that’s all

And RDVZ 3 is a gas giant as well

[ripe flame]

yea those build base things i always did the most ghetto thing i could build..kinda like that first hut you build with a bed in minecraft LUL

[heady pilot]

Does it require the the individual parts? Mildly more annoying if so but should still be doable fairly past. Just needs basic carbon I think.

[blazing fossil]

Iirc you need 10 pure ferrite and the rest is just carbon

[pseudo bane]

I was just looking to tag the diplo planet real quick, no building anything.

[heady pilot]

Might have to refine 10 ferrite dust but not a problem beyond a slight delay.

[heady pilot]

You can take a screenshot in photo mode with the glyphs on and after the expedition you can use a portal from your main save to return there...Euclid galaxy.

[pseudo bane]

Yup, did that instead.

[vital scarab]

should i bring anything to the expidition to make it faster?
Have to speedrun now
Procrastinated long enough now

[pseudo bane]

This has been pretty handy. www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1p1pejp/nms_titan_redux_expedition_17_in_2_hours_full/

There's a short list of things, a few lubricant will save you time hunting down gamma weed

[glossy flame]

And in addition, I would bring like 5-10 Nautilon fuel cells to expedition too

That water planet was very close to having a "Here lies Frost n Burn" grave on it

[fringe agate]

Pins here have tips as well

[heady pilot]

That's way too many. You need like 3 to craft the pressure membrane and maybe 2 more at most...you don't need to spend that much time underwater...I didn't use any at all because I did the deep stuff without the pressure membrane because I had lots of life support gel(which is always good to bring a stack into any expedition) and stayed close to nautilon and I didn't spend enough time underwater for the nautilon's engine to be even half empty.

[glossy flame]

I ended up needing to top up my Nautilon a few times and was very close to being dead because I was out of materials to recharge my exosuit in the water and running on fumes, I was basically going out of the Nautilon in 30 seconds bursts just to get enough fuel to come back to the surface again

[heady pilot]

It takes a long time for the nautilon dry at the default expedition difficulty and there aren't enough milestones to do underwater to stay in there that long. I hope you weren't trying to use the nautilon to get to the sunken freighter....that can take you for a trip...use the nautilon to locate it, then fly your ship and land on top of it then dive with nautilon.

[glossy flame]

.... I drove my Nautilon to the wreck horizontally, I didn't think going up and down would save that much time

I'll make a note of that for next time

[heady pilot]

It actually does...takes a minute at most to surface but just riding your nautilon can take at least 5 minutes, usually way more...plus there is the fuel consideration. Your nautilon can chew through a tank or two depending how far away the sunken freighter is.

[slender hinge]

If time runs out while you are in the expedition, it will simply lock your progress where it's at, and you won't be able to get credit for anything you do after that. You can then return to the Space Anomaly and transfer things over in the same way as if you completed the whole thing, just minus whatever rewards you missed.

[glossy flame]

Thanks for that

[waxen geode]

🤦🏿‍♂️ just got VR & I can't do the expedition can't pick up some items I need & other stupid tings.
Also noticed U can't sit & other stuff

[nimble inlet]

hi what system would have the rarest fauna to find for 75,000 units in titan expidediton?

[signal igloo]

put the upgrades

[heady pilot]

How many units you get out of fauna is determined by the scanner upgrades your multitool has. But beyond your scanner tech how much each tier of rarity pays is fixed. If you found one fauna marked as "rare" and it didn't pay 75k units then none will...it's not like you can find an ultra rare that pays even more...doesn't work like that. You need better scanner modules for your multitool.

[glossy flame]

One of your expedition rewards should have a S-rank scanner upgrade package, use that, and if you get a fauna upgrade stat, you can scan basically anything to get the 75k

[remote thunder]

complete and claim phase 1 chronicle 1, and phase 4 reach rdv milestone, install the two s-class scanner modules

there's also another milestone in phase 3 (teeming with life) but i'd leave that for after having the 2 s-class modules installed

[nimble inlet]

I have everything can get like 3000

[wanton frigate]

Does it help to move all the scanner modules together and try to have as many of them as possible in boost slots while keeping them touching?

[remote thunder]

yep, but you can just supercharge them ignoring adjacency, it'll still be stronger

well put 3 s class scanners on the tool will see if that helps - yes this worked - game does not tell you you have to double or triple s class technology to do this

[gleaming sluice]

Which ship should I bring on the next expedition? My Corvette, Sentinel, or one of my exotics? Or another type?

[remote thunder]

corvette will probably help 🙂

[gleaming sluice]

I'm gonna bring a few stacks of runaway mold so I'll have Nanites right away.

[heady pilot]

Whichever you have most upgraded...if they're all maxed and capable then whichever you like.

[nimble inlet]

Think of expeditions like this - you will be starting a new mini-game, usually from a starting point similar to how you start the game initially, it does often allow you to bring some of the stuff you need once you get to the anomaly. Bring that stuff in, but you will not be in the anomaly as soon as you get there. Bring stuff like you know you will need like launch fuel, a good multi-tool, or a ship that has long distance warp travel

[pseudo bane]

Some annoying things to get are helpful too if you know you'll need them. Living pearls and crystal sulfide come to mind, and repair kits and wiring looms are handy too (not so much in Titan though).

[finite rover]

is the final rendezvous at an outlaw planet?

[pseudo bane]

No, it's a Gek mining system

[heady pilot]

Living pearls are everywhere underwater...I would not say they are much of an inconvenience to get.

[pseudo bane]

They can be a hassle sometimes, other times no big deal. same with storm crystals.

[finite rover]

crud. it landed me in a pirate system.

[nimble inlet]

oh and another thing if you do lots, and lots of other random things in the expedition like scanning creatures, clicking on the language things and stuff - they will give you more rewards at the end of the event that goto your main save

[pseudo bane]

There is a pirate system between 4 and 5 on the route, you maybe just didn't have hyperdrive range for the whole trip.

[magic belfry]

What expedition is on rn?

[finite rover]

nah. it's tagging it. hassle was I skipped 4 and broke it

[pseudo bane]

Are you in the system with The Uboenda II Sphere pirate space station?

that was the one I stopped at before the final rendezvous

[finite rover]

yeah. it's saying it's r5 and saying it's near r5 and I should go elsewhere but the galactic map wont give me an elsewhere. I think that's cos I skipped r4 accidentally

[nimble inlet]

Titan expidetion - it ends tomorrow

A good tip on any expedition - Do not finish it till last day, go out explore, scan things, click language things , and so on - do not finish the final chapter till last day - you will get greater rewards - that send to your main save, and can help other players as well

[pseudo bane]

I'd call the space anomaly and dock, use the teleport and chose space stations and go back to the last rendezvous station you stopped at. Then use Expedition Route in galaxy map to retrace.

[finite rover]

it's all good. thanks for the help. gopt it figured out

[pseudo bane]

Welp, that was 10 hours start to finish. Time to sleep.

[wraith junco]

U can complete whole expedition without claiming any task rewards ( need to do mp for base computer trading). Nice.

[finite rover]

which system holds the water world?

it seems to have fallen off my list

[pseudo bane]

the water world is Rendezvous 2

[finite rover]

yeah. it's missing from my list. whee!

luckily I remembered a base someone made there.

[rapid wolf]

Thank you very much for your tip, do you have any more tips about expedition and no man's sky in general? Does anyone know what is the next expedition?

[finite rover]

meh. living ships can't hover :(

[finite rover]

you'll likely find out the next expedition in a day.

[wanton frigate]

Relics is next I think, digging up bones and fighting giant stone guardians. Far as I remember they make you trek long distances in crappy weather to find camps, so bring your heat proof umbrella.

[wraith junco]

Tasks will be same but the expedition starter system and route will be diffrent.

So maybe u will need radiation umbrella this time

[nimble inlet]

click the pinned messages here for more expidetion info goto #nms-lfg-or-trades if you want players one on one help or voice chat help

[heady pilot]

I never saw much value in the hover feature for ships other than corvettes. It's not like you can leave them parked up in the air or anything. And I can slow them down a lot to where they slowly go forward...that's more than fine. If I want to stop I have to land them anyway. Never saw any reason to just hover in place just for the sake of sitting still.

[finite rover]

I use hover all the time. Tighter turns, checking out land features, waiting until the renderer catches up, waiting for landing pads to recognise me...

oh and it lets me turn on a dime if I miss what I was aiming for. nice for shooting ground resources if you need more ferrite dust or something, too.

[heady pilot]

You want to stop completely to turn? Doesn't make much sense to me but sure...I guess if you overshoot something it can be useful but I can't say I've had that problem much. As for render, I think flying slowly is more than fine but mileage may vary depending on hardware...next gen consoles and higher end PCs will generate the terrain and buildings a lot faster than last gen consoles and lower end PCs.

[finite rover]

yup. I do want to stop completely or, even slow down further than 20u/s. the turning circle at that speed sucks the big one.

[limpid wave]

man, this titan expedition is awful

[wraith junco]

U have problems with it or u just dont like it?

[limpid wave]

Everything is just so time consuming so far

[wraith junco]

I didint had much problem with it.

[heady pilot]

It really shouldn't take more than 8 hours and that's being beyond extremely slow...this is doable in 2-3 hours. But even a relaxed pace shouldn't extend beyond five hours of play. What's taking you time?

[limpid wave]

I flew through the previous expedition

[blazing fossil]

If you think this is time consuming you should’ve seen the original, this one is shortened

[limpid wave]

[supple panther]

Wait there's a new one ?

[heady pilot]

I did the original in under six hours and one of those hours I was largely afk, eating lunch while occasionally refueling some reffiners that were getting me nanites from Runaway Mould so I could claim my ship and MT. It's not a long expedition.

[blazing fossil]

Expedition 17 Redux: Titan for about 22.5 hours more

[supple panther]

Ok lovely, thank you

[heady pilot]

No new one, Titan redux, but it ends in 22 hours or so. Relics redux starts the day after tomorrow.

[supple panther]

I'm going to prepare for the next l'e

[supple panther]

Yes, I've done Titan redux like a week ago...

Thank you !

[limpid wave]

I cant seem to avoid pirate activity every siongle time I jump, and that takes so much time to get out of

[wraith junco]

Enter freighter or space station to get away from pirates

[limpid wave]

If I could jump to either, I would. I hjave to wait like a minute each time for them to let me be able to use my pulse drive again

[heady pilot]

Ah yeah, freighter encounters in expedition saves sometimes go bonkers. Defend one and claim it(1st should be free), see if that gets the game to stop throwing freighters at you.

[limpid wave]

now I cant find the aquatic planet I need lmao

[limpid wave]

christ, took me 25 minutes to find one

shits telling me to go down 1000u. lol this planet only goes to 200

absolutely insane

[old turtle]

expedition 17 rendezvous 4 take picture not working for me any tips to get it to work

[round crane]

Is there a new expedition?

[celest void]

I didnt realize the holiday expeditions were going on, is the living ship one in the rotation?

[old turtle]

Yeah 21h left on it

[celest void]

Oh jeez

[old turtle]

[blazing fossil]

Just open photo mode and hit the button it tells you to

how tf do I find a sunken frigate wreck

[wraith junco]

Freighter*. Instal nautilion scanner tech

[tulip plover]

does anyone know if expedition snapshots your multitool and ship when you start the expedition, or is it your active main save ship and multitool when you go to copy them into the expedition? Like if the expedition is started and you go back and change your ship/tool in the main save is that updated in the expedition if you havent copied it?

[old turtle]

Yeah I have multiple times and it's not completing the quest like the other ones did

[finite scaffold]

@misty plinth Sorry for really late reply, been busy with work lately. I got all those nanites from suspicious packages and feats from the expedition like hiring frigates. It was the week of Christmas and all I did was treat the whole expedition like a new file and did everything I could in the time alloted, ended up with a ton of nanites

[covert kernel]

wow, those sure are some numbers

[limpid wave]

Wow. So Im pretty sure I just lost my expedition prize ship

[dreamy bolt]

So does Relics have anything particularly spicy in the rewards or no, besides the living stone armor?

[wraith junco]

Basilisk mt?

[ripe flame]

well, now my game atleast loads the hello games screeen before it crashes. still cant run the dang game.

[dreamy bolt]

Oh, this?

[finite scaffold]

Next expedition get another from the qs vendor and copy it back to main file, ezpz

[honest forge]

What's the likelihood I can finish the expedition tonight, having just started yesterday? Will I miss out on the corvette if I don't complete it?

[tender tusk]

There is no corvette expedition going on; If you don't complete the current expedition you will only get the rewards you've completed.

The end Reward of the current expedition is The Wraith Living starship

[honest forge]

Thanks much. I think I will choose sleep tonight. :)

[prisma tundra]

You can probably get it done, you have about 18 hours left

[opaque smelt]

How soon after one ends does one begin

Any 1 in the expedition get yourself in a looking for group Channel and get some help I finish the expedition in under 24 hours you can too and they will help you

[remote thunder]

titan ends dec 2nd 3pm UTC; relics starts dec 3rd probably at around the same time, 2-3pm UTC

[misty plinth]

Kind of salty we can't use the terminal to bring back Crystallised Helium, Methane or Quartzite.

[neat meteor]

I done all but expedition 20, I was half-way through it when it ended so I'm wanting to get to that, so if somone can let me know when the holiday expedition 20 is active plz?

[tender tusk]

scroll up 6 replies and you can see it

[neat meteor]

Thanks

[patent olive]

I can’t wait to do the corvette one

Apologies, I can’t wait for Breach cause of the corvette parts

[wanton frigate]

Is it always like that or only if you haven't unlocked purple stars in your normal save?

[ripe flame]

ok I just started titan. Seriously...now the F do you find ferrite....theres nothing to mine. I found a cave for colbalt. but nothing I shoot has ferrite and the little pile behind my ship is gone and was used to fix engines. still need launch thrusters.

my protection is gone so cant stray far. no ferrite dust to be had

did i just get bad rng..restart? or what

[gleaming musk]

did you try digging underground to get protection?

just dig underground far enough

[tender tusk]

scan rocks, some give ferrite dust and chromatic metal

[clear vigil]

if you follow a guide like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1kMd3MjwtI or
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvjD2vPz-qw
you can get it in like 2-3 hours

[gleaming musk]

should you start a new save to do expeditions?

[remote thunder]

starting from new save gives one the option to just scrap an exp run and start over, while also unlocking phase and final expedition rewards account wide upon completion, meaning they can be claimed once per save under the same account (this includes the wraith, and pillar of titan for example). starting from new save would not allow to bring resources to any existing save or make copies of normal gear obtained in expedition ofc. started from new save, after completion, save retains all progress and all stats, is converted to a normal mode save, and in exp17's case, this means that that normal mode save would also keep access to purple stars (which normally require completing 4 quests to unlock)

[marsh ruin]

Hello

[remote thunder]

hi! welcome to the server! anything we can help with?

[ripe flame]

yea there wasnt much around to shoot with the mining tool I did get into a cave. I assume on the way to rendez 2 we find storm crystals

[regal flame]

Just finished exp 17 at 1 am 🙏🙏

[tender tusk]

Best way to find them is on the starting planet since it's always storming if not you can find them on planets that say in the resource list Activated Quartzite or anything that Says Activated followed by a mineral the only thing is you'll have to wait for a storm

[ripe flame]

ok.

thanks

i dont want to go all the way back to the starting planet sadly. do i need anything special to harvest them?

[remote thunder]

rendezvous 3 planet is a gas giant and will have storm crystals

[ripe flame]

thanks

i completely forgot about salvage data ugh lol

[high hedge]

Just verifying, but if I already did the expeditions there’s no real reason to do the reruns right?

[ripe flame]

how do i deploy the nutriant injestor? Anomoly says the plans are unlocked, it goes in the exosuit right?

err..wait in need nutriant processor I think first?

[prisma tundra]

no, you can go straight to ingestor, click on an exosuit tech slot & install there

[wanton frigate]

The rewards are the same for the redux as the original, so in that sense no but they can be handy for farming Suit and Tools slots, cloning ships and earning a little extra Quicksilver.
And also there's all the fun of the community engagement, plus leaving bases on the starter planet full of helpful resources that are just a little too high off the ground to jetpack to, and yet mysteriously were not built with any stairs. That's right, Jimmy No-Steps, I'm on to you!

[remote thunder]

good luck to everyone still on and trying to finish! keep going, remember to if you're stuck, might be that there's useful info to you there, stay focused, you got this! 🦾

[gleaming musk]

omg, whoever posted the video with the guide is a lifesaver

I didnt plan to do it until I saw it

[fervent umbra]

Thank you for this, made things so much easier

[gleaming musk]

is it not possible to build a base with a teleporter while on the expedition?

[ripe flame]

i guess I do need the plans. I hafta find the wheat and flour. gotta stop at a station and open soime slots be selling some junk

[gleaming musk]

I saw that we get to keep bases, but not sure how I would be able to get back here

[ripe flame]

should we be getting rid of the prismatic feathers? I assume they are only good for selling

[prisma tundra]

ah, I thought you had the plans already lol, then yeah, do the milestone that'll give you the plans

[ripe flame]

i thought i saw it unlocked in the anomoly but maybe I looked at the wrong item

[bold umbra]

You can teleport directly to a bare base computer.

[gleaming musk]

oh, I thought i needed the teleport ring to get in. I guess thats just if I want to teleport out then?

[bold umbra]

Yep

[gleaming musk]

nice thanks, learn something new every day

[cinder fulcrum]

jst a random tip but if you minimize mining radius as much as y can you will get more materials while mining

[gleaming musk]

yep, got that from a video a few days in, great timesaver

[ripe flame]

where do i find the mercenary guild?

or am I better off selling pirate transponders at the sales terminal

[gleaming musk]

so aparently they are like in clusters

so many systems around it will have the exploration

but if you move far enough away, you are supposed to find the other guild

its just a turn in, I assume for rep similar like all the other things in the explorers

and probably there will be limits on how many to turn in

per each station

[ripe flame]

ok. i tossed thos feathers maybe that will keep sentiles off me for a bit. was making it hard to find the wheat. most common on toxic I think right?

[gleaming musk]

so I just kept a couple stacks, but started selling the rest

[gleaming musk]

dunno, just dont pick a planet that high sentinel activity i guess

[ripe flame]

nah i kept getting contraband scans..apparently feathers are such

[gleaming musk]

also learn to melee boost away, they lose track of you quickly

[misty plinth]

I haven't unlocked purple systems on the save I was trying to bring those materials over to.

My thought was to collect them in expedition and transfer them out so I would have them in storage for when my settlement(s) needed upgrading.

[ripe flame]

is rendez 2 under water?

[misty plinth]

Kind of sort of. If you land using aqua jets on the marker - exit the ship and enter the water you should get the milestone complete.

Make sure you take a picture right then too.

[ripe flame]

ok so i gotta figure out how to complete this cooking crap

[misty plinth]

With the cooking milestone selected you should get help on what you need to do. The "H" key is your friend for cycling throug tips.

[arctic forum]

I feel like an idiot, but I can’t find cyto-phosphate. Tips?

[misty plinth]

They are from plant (flora) material found on ANY planet with bodies of water.

You can get them on - for example - a paradise-like planet with oceans that aren't so deep.

[ripe flame]

its telling me what to do...sorta. I got fecium and wheat..but now what?

[prisma tundra]

see the pins, but basically process faecium to yeast & wheat to flour

it'll tell you in the tooltips what to do from there

[arctic forum]

I’ve tried in the water, out of the water — I’m clearly missing something obvious. Mining laser, yes?
Thanks for trying to help anyway.

[ripe flame]

ok but process how..this I am missing. I see that in game. HOW

[misty plinth]

Nutrient processor - put wheat in a slot and look to the right.

Go from there.

[ripe flame]

I dont have it. and cant build it. it was unlocked at the anomoly

thats the issue I am having

[misty plinth]

You can use the visor scanner on the plants and rocks under the water surface. Then use the mining laser to get cyto phosphates from the thing that contains them.

[ripe flame]

yea nutriat processor is unlocked, I have all the materials for it...where is the build option

[misty plinth]

On PC use the Z key any place with build permissions.

[ripe flame]

do I need a base to build it?

[misty plinth]

You can even use the nutrient processor in the back of the anomaly if you get desperate.

[misty plinth]

You can build in an open field with nothing around you if you like. Just can't have anything in the area blocking build permissions.

[arctic forum]

Good gods, I spent an hour on that one planet looking for 80. Swapped planets and got 300 in 5min. Thanks you.

[ripe flame]

please tell me lubricant is purchasable

[misty plinth]

I don't know that I've ever seen lubricant for sale anywhere.

You should have the formula for making it. Gamma weed probably going to take you a minute to collect though.

Might be a base at the teleporter list advertising gamma weed. Doesn't hurt to look there.

[ripe flame]

yea i only need 400. aint that in caves?

[misty plinth]

Surface of irradiated planets (scan for uranium if you aren't sure). Big bright yellow flowers on them.

[scarlet island]

should be on iridiated planets as an actual plant.

[ripe flame]

yea in the last system, naturally

wait I found a uranium moon hiding behind a planet

ok this planet has uranium but its a moon im not seeing any gamma weed

[prisma tundra]

finished the expedition just in time, now to transfer all the stuff I want before I go to bed lol

[ripe flame]

does gamma weed/root make sentinels have a party on ya? cuz they didnt bother me and suddely I cant walk near one

[misty plinth]

Depends how agressive they are on the planet.

[calm ember]

Is there any way to cheese Hazard Pay?

[heady pilot]

Picking biome flowers will not trigger sentinels, and neither will using the terrain manipulator to mine deposits or minerals. Only breaking stuff with your mining beam or exocraft or killing fauna will trigger sentinels.

[heady pilot]

What does that milestone require again?

[calm ember]

To collect three sea glass

Can I like, transfer it in or have someone else give it to me?

Or do I have to go underwater?

[heady pilot]

Not really...sometimes you might be lucky a find sea glass near the surface in the water around an island but probably more time consuming than just getting down there so build your nautilong and dive...you have to dive to 1000u anyway.

[ripe flame]

chromatic only comes from copper right

[calm ember]

I already dove down before I realized I had to collect sea glass

[misty plinth]

All stellar metals.

[heady pilot]

Also from cadmium, emeril, indium, and quartzite and all their activated variants.

[calm ember]

You can get it from the stellar metals (Copper, Indium, Emeril, Quartzite, the red one) and the activated versions

[misty plinth]

Cadmium

[calm ember]

Thank you

[ripe flame]

oh good there is quartzite in this syetm too

trying to install the water jets on the ship man this need a lot of running around. i hope 3 and 4 aint like this

[heady pilot]

Every system will have a stellar metal that can be refined into chromatic metal. No system in the game will be without something you can refine into chromatic metal.

Fuck

Im at 7-7-5-3 i think

[heady pilot]

So you're like three quarters of the way there...10 hour is loads of time for about a phase and two thirds or close to two phases worth of milestones.

[ripe flame]

how do you resize the terrain manipulator?

[fleet hearth]

Middle mouse on PC

[misty plinth]

On PC the R and T keys

By default

[fleet hearth]

sorry my bad, MM is modes lol

[ripe flame]

now i just need the crystal sulfide..the rendex 2 planet have any land at all on it?

[misty plinth]

My advice - get it in shallower water on another planet OR check the teleportation terminals to a deep water base that has a nautilon.

[ripe flame]

so nape has no land?

[prisma tundra]

oh you can absolutely survive crush depths, you gotta pay attention to your hazard protection & life support to recharge fairly ish frequently, but with the pressure membrane installed, you can full on swim down to the bottom, I hate the nautilon so I always swim when there's milestones requiring that, or even just when exploring on my own outside expedition

[misty plinth]

It may but I wasn't going to waste time looking for it.

One little spur sticking out of the water was not worth my time looking for.

[ripe flame]

yea I am trying to get a base on that planet and hope I dont die

ofcourse all are "downloading data"

[prisma tundra]

you can do an underwater base

[misty plinth]

You HAVE to make a base on a gas giant. I would do that THEN come back to the water system after expedition and build one if you really want to do that.

[ripe flame]

yea none of these bases can be traveled..all downloading. not a single one works

i think the starter system had a temperate moon..that should have water no?

[misty plinth]

Are you at the space station in system? Sometimes that helps with discovery services.

[arctic forum]

I really did not think I was going to finish that. Thank you @misty plinth - Savior of Procrastinators.

[ripe flame]

yes but its a dead station, has a portal

i guess I didnt visit the space station of the starter system not thinking I would need to returnm

and its purple I think so I doubt I can warp back and too costly anyways

I barely have enough to build the stuff it asks me too

going back to rendez 1, that had a toxic and a scortched that certainly look like his has lakes. i think schortch has boiling lakes no?

user bases are still downloading data wtf

I remeber this was a problem before many bases didnt work

[ripe flame]

still downloaded ugh

[misty plinth]

The ship has the atlantidium drive so going back IS a possibility. It's a matter of fuel and time really.

[ripe flame]

and we fell out of the space station

[misty plinth]

Usually the sure ones are those that have unique base images so you can see things like structures and exocraft.

The blue tagged ones and those that are bulked together with the same base image are unlikely to have the data you need to teleport to them.

At least in my experience.

[stoic crescent]

Is there a reliable place to get repair kits? All I have left is to visit & photo RV4 & 5... but pirates damaged my Atlanid Drive.

[misty plinth]

Any pirate system will have them for sale.

[ripe flame]

there is clearly a well built base at some of these but they didnt work. I got the sulfied from the rendex 1 system toxic planet. found a sea deap enough

[stoic crescent]

Thanks!

[ripe flame]

so, rendez 2 water planet. I assume, if I dive at the rendex point...I can get some goals..its deep enough?

I gotta wait for this storm

sadly one of those non working bases is a freighter

[calm ember]

How do I find a tornado on the Rendezvous 3 planet?

[ripe flame]

lol...one killed me when I started

the first planet

and...it found me

getting sucked up on a stock jetpack...sucks

ok there is no way I am going to suit dive that far with what little sodium I have. I guess Ill hafta return

[misty plinth]

Any gas giant planet works. Turning off multiplayer may help as well.

@ripe flame Using the nautilon sonar/scanner to look for a sunken freighter should help. The freighter location should be deep enough to complete the milestone.

[calm ember]

Danke

[ripe flame]

so I do need that stupid sub. swell

question is how do I get it on the planet

can I build it while swimming? lol

[misty plinth]

If you still have the mats for it you can build the platform while swimming.

[ripe flame]

ok

[ripe flame]

i forgot the game game my one in inventory. oh well that what portals are for

the sub

[ripe flame]

4th rendez...it is on the gas giant right..Im not getting a marker

i am looking all over this gas giant and there is no marker. the galaxy map says its this system. yet no marker. anyone?

[misty plinth]

Verify it using this link.

they really really really need to fix navigation. I cant seem to get closer to the redez

so flustrating

I take off, do what I think is a 180, land. im not closer but twice as far

gone from 800 to 1600 each time farther and I cant ever find my beacon

[heady pilot]

On foot use binoculars, you'll see the precise direction. There is a way to see exact distance to your waypoint while flying your ship too without having to land lol.

But yeah, you're going about it the wrong way.

Either land and walk there on foot or use the navigation data before landing the ship at all to guide you to your exact destination...but this whole land, take off, land again over and over shenanigans, that won't work.

[misty plinth]

Some people have to learn by doing and sometimes that includes the hard way.

[ripe flame]

id use the binos to set a marker, but then when i took off i couldnt find it

there's no heading, compass, so you cant really tell if you've done a 180 or no which i needed to do. i know how to do it on foot, but at 700-1000u on a planet that will kill you..well no thanks. under 500 maybe

and sadly i am out of phos for the heat hazzard

[gaunt ridge]

speedrun mode activate

[misty plinth]

When you use the visor direction is at the top of the hud.

[misty plinth]

Ion batteries are easy to make and use.

@ripe flame Sometimes having a companion that you can ride, especially a flying one, can make getting to a location a little easier.

[gaunt ridge]

how do i find a waypoint easily

[calm ember]

I completed it from about there aout an hour ago, you got this

[gaunt ridge]

i flew around with my ship and found nothing

[calm ember]

For the Rendezvous? They're all at buildings, I think R.3 is the underwater one

If you can't find it, land and look around, you should find the right direction and you can head in that direction

[gaunt ridge]

ok last one

how long will this take

[calm ember]

Turn off multiplayer and run around on a gas giant for like ten minutes, and if you see a tornado run straight for it

Thats how I was told to do it, and it worked

[gaunt ridge]

Why turn off multiplayer

[calm ember]

Makes it so no one else in system are loading other spots on the planet

I'm guessing

[gaunt ridge]

i ran into a tornado and it just vanished...

[ripe flame]

rename a discovery...how does that work..most dont seem to be able to

[misty plinth]

Rename anything. Plant, animal, mineral, waypoint or system that you have discovered.

[calm ember]

You'll find more, don't worry

[calm ember]

It has to be an original discovery by you, not something someone else has found before

[paper copper]

Enter your starship and exit it to create a restore point, then load this restore point. Once you load the game, the tornado will spawn somewhere nearby (trick from Aiming4Gaming's guide)

[gaunt ridge]

oh i get this ship now

nice

[calm ember]

Good job!!

this ones even hard to walk to. Ive been walking forever and not gaining ground on it

the 4th rendex on the ice wold. its walking me in circles

literlay depeted my oxygen replenish have gold still walking toward the target and I am back at my ship? its its gone from 300u to 500u again./ is the damn thign moving?

I was under 400...saw my ship in the distance...still going the same dir...over 500 now

[calm ember]

Should be a portal nearby, if not, try warping out and back in, that should fix whatever issue is happening with the tracking

[ripe flame]

i had it under 300 thought I saw it in the distance Im 580 again

im streaming this

location service not avilable

[ripe flame]

going back to my ship again it seems

[misty plinth]

Go back to your ship. Jump in and out creating a restore point. Exit the game. Restart the game. Turn off multiplayer. Load back into the save. See if that fixes it.

Sometimes turning it off and on again works.

[ripe flame]

wow i was never more that 480 from this thing I finally started turing in on the death spiral it had me walking

[calm ember]

@tough sluice Idk how to do this but this is clearly spam

[tough sluice]

Ah yep, thank you.

[calm ember]

Of course, sorry for random ping

[tough sluice]

No worries, thank you for bringing it to our attention.

[ripe flame]

how do I switch multitools..I know u can have more than 1

[tough sluice]

In the quick menu, go to the gear icon. It'll be under that sub menu.

[ripe flame]

how does the rename a discovery work

so far Ive not found one that will rename

[calm ember]

You have to be the first to discover it, best way to do that is jump like four or five times and land on a planet, chances will be you'll find something no one else has discovered before pretty quick

[misty plinth]

You can rename a waypoint marker for anything you discover on planet too. Just follow the instructions in the upper right corner of the planet discovery page.

[ripe flame]

does anyone remember the water system station..I now need to get back there Ive finished everything else

that was # 2 wasnt it

[calm ember]

It should have a tag like "Rendezvous 2"

I think?

Or 3

[misty plinth]

It was the Nojotak system

Nape M23 was the water world.

Again #nms-expedition message

i googled it, gave me something different

said it was haporin or something

I missed this one earlier in rhe year cuz I forgot it was even on lol

[ripe flame]

sea glass? does that looke like stained glass sorta

[glossy flame]

It looks like a green storm shard in inventory

[misty plinth]

The underwater deposit?

You can use your visor or sonar/scanner to locate it.

Should look like a pinkish glow.

[ripe flame]

ok, and how do I find this sunken freighter

omg the fish are the size of cargo ships

[calm ember]

There are a million bases right around it, rendevous 3(?)

After that, just go DOWN

[ripe flame]

yea its an hour away by sub. hopefully the tag stays so I can get in my ship. I can summon the exo on the same planet right

[ripe flame]

ahh I was using the sonar wrong that why I was not getting it at first. that living ship looks amazing. thanks for all the help everyone, after a 1240 minute live stream run I am going to bed. 5am my time. thanks folks!

also thanks everyone who tried to help with the driver issue that last 2 days from this discord.

[remote thunder]

congrats!

haporin system was in the original exp17 run, rdv2 was also a waterworld biome planet

[hoary grove]

So one of the missions in the dino expedition is adopting a pet, can I bring it over to my main save at the end of expedition????? (Assuming I started via an existing save)

[wraith junco]

Write down glyphs. Pets locations should be cross mode and u should be able to go there and pick it up on normal save

[hoary grove]

Can I bring over the dino fossils?

[hoary grove]

What if I started on an existing save? Like from the anomaly, will I keep the pet once I end expedition and essentially load into normal mode?

Like copy tool/ship?

[wraith junco]

Cant take pets or their eggs to normal save

[hoary grove]

Thanks

Feels wrong man just abandoning a life form like this

Maybe I'll sit the exp out, learn the skills from a video

Was excited for the dino one for so long though
It is what it is

[frozen laurel]

You can claim a new egg from the Quicksilver merchant in the anomaly. Expedition rewards are unlocked account wide (for all saves)

[signal igloo]

LOL - I dozed off last night and didn't get to finish with my work-buddy and I had to get up early to finish two saves. one was at Stage 5 and one only had way points for 4 and 5 to go.

[slender hinge]

Good luck.

[signal igloo]

flexin their nitro ^^ loky there

[slender hinge]

Haha

I missed the last few milestones of Breach, since I was just starting the game and didn't know what expeditions were until I saw I had only a few hours left. And then I missed the next one entirely with real life stuff. Fortunately, I'll get another shot at Breach soon enough.

[signal igloo]

yeah, they are pretty fun, huge distraction from normal game-play but yeah that what it all about

[slender hinge]

I got Titan finished early, so that was good.

[signal igloo]

hehe i ran it once on xbox account and three times on steam

i know "you can get the rewards on any save..." that wasn't the point prepping for that dive and taking my buddy down there for his first deep dive was AWESOME the reactions and the suspense he had... tastes like candy

[slender hinge]

"Now, what you don't want to do is hop out of your nautilon down... uh... here... you might want to get back in."
"Oh no, I am all turned around, where is my nautilon I am taking damage, help!"

Not that I am speaking from experience or anything.

[deep vapor]

Nautilon controls are terrible...

[signal igloo]

So, you nearly nailed it each time I got out I lost my sub... turn round n round not there, I learned way fast to just call it in rathe than waste time looking for it!

visibility was awful - and the pressure of the dive along with being on comms - it was weird 3 units away it would vanish

[nimble inlet]

hi when does Titan end today?

[signal igloo]

so, rather than trying to drive that pig around - we descended straight down with left trigger - did our biz and jump buttton back up still ended up 50 units from our ships.

[slender hinge]

Like in 20 minutes.

[deep vapor]

In about 17min

[nimble inlet]

ok i best finish it then was making sure - usually there is a timer not this time

[slender hinge]

If you're not already at the end, you're probably not going to get much done.

I heard you can mess with your system clock and finish offline to get rewards, but I'm not sure on that.

[simple raptor]

if ur on pc yeah i believe that works

[slender hinge]

So that's an option to consider.

[nimble inlet]

I left it open final stages to help others all i have to do is rend 5 and snapshot

[slender hinge]

Get to it, don't miss on it talking to us :P

[deep vapor]

Yeah... don't get why they didn't use the same controls as the ships. Also, it vanishes from existence every time we look away

[slender hinge]

It will absolutely shut you out when the timer runs out.

[covert kernel]

that's weird, the timer was showing for me yesterday

[slender hinge]

Might have been other quests showing instead.

[deep vapor]

I think I have Sigolomania, so I do like 10 trips from the Expeditions to my original save to take EVERYTHING... 😅

[daring briar]

I didnt finish but I should still be able to move stuff I collected over at the end ? even if I didnt finish ?

[slender hinge]

Yep.

[daring briar]

can I just wait here in the anomaly or should I log out

i see this

[slender hinge]

When the timer runs out, it just won't let you complete more milestones. It won't kick you out.

[odd herald]

Ngl only reason I'm doing next expedition is for that sick staff

[daring briar]

oh ok then I just do the normal stuff like I was going to end the ex if I had finished

[slender hinge]

Yeah.

[daring briar]

ok its good .. I have like 1.2 billion worth of AI valves lol

[slender hinge]

I learned that the first hand on Breach.

Fortunately, it's coming back rather soon.

[daring briar]

I didnt want to lose this ..

well this should help lol

[pliant ridge]

.🥳

[elder sun]

when does the next expedition begin?

[daring briar]

tomorrow I think ?

At what time does the new Expedition start?
Is it always the same time?

[copper sedge]

It's today isn't it 😕

[remote thunder]

relics? tomorrow

[signal igloo]

when we look at the stats on the time, is everyone seeing their local times? feels like it

[remote thunder]

yep

[signal igloo]

that was another fun expedition i missed the OG run early this year i was being henry in bohimia

i think relics is anoter i missed.

wonnt know fer sure until i see the prizes - hehe

[remote thunder]

check anomaly/quicksilver shop/collect expedition rewards, then switch to exp18 filter - should see a list there

[signal igloo]

well, this is true- however - i am working and they frown (don't allow) steam access...

[remote thunder]

relics rewards:

[signal igloo]

hmmm i feel like i should gather all the loose stone i have parked around and take it with me.

[signal igloo]

we can go through the next expedition as the stone golem?

whats the draw? backpack? Stones armor?

[prisma tundra]

Wdym by draw?

[signal igloo]

attraction - prize etc..

i mean yeah I like the participation sure. but any real goodies come with completion

i can cosplay a stone golem while piloting my Wraith?

in fact- that is what I will do, get home tonight, trick out my wraith, load it up with weird fuels and such. Then transfer to my expedition. yeah - maybe i'll fall in love with the ship after using it for a week.

[signal igloo]

i have a question for you lot, how long before you changed out the hauler on the last expedition? I noticed there were a lot of scripted warp in battles this time.

even a scripted RV 4 scan and interdiction

while pulse driving

[elder snow]

During Beachead I played through 80% of it with the starting Hauler because I didn't know I could import my Main save ship.
It was hell.
During Titan importing my Corvette was the first thing I did the moment I could

[signal igloo]

heh - i don't hate haulers - they are tuff but the radius of the turns makes one ... sad.

corvette doesn't make manuvering better but they have other perks

nothing better than rolling up to a point of interest and just jumping off the gate.

[wraith junco]

Corvettes literaly have hauler stats

[signal igloo]

feels like a very large hauler, then.

[elder snow]

I'm sure Haulers are fine when upgrade properly, but I didn't bother with the Beachhead one, so its manoeuvrability was trash, C-class starting ship level trash.
My Corvette was fully kitted out so it handles amazingly

I've never felt similarities between Corvettes and Haulers

[signal igloo]

what is funny - the first ship i transferred in to an expedition had gotten better during, and it said I could not recopy it back to main

[elder snow]

I know it's supposed to start tomorrow, but depending on the specific time it starts that could be Thursday for me

[signal igloo]

i do like the melty death ray (beam weapons)

[elder snow]

Apparently copying it back to your main save is really easy, all you would have to do is rename either of them so the game forgets they're both the same ship

But you can also just strip off all the modules and transfer those back

[signal igloo]

oh tell me its not that easy.. cripes

[elder snow]

There's like a single extra step when Corvettes are involved, but I was told that was pretty much it

[prisma tundra]

I’ve never heard “draw” be used in that way, but I think the relics expedition overall reward is the living stone armor

[elder snow]

I have, but I can see it being a somewhat obscure way to phrase things.
But I did go through all the Expedition rewards (for all of them) today, and other than the usual banners, titles, and minor decorations,
The main reward for Relics should be
the Living stone armor set,
Living stone body pieces,
Living stone jetpack
And the Basilisk Crown Multi-tool staff

[shadow lantern]

So like, the Pillar of Titan... Is it supposed to suck? Or am I just not building it right? I have an atlantid multi tool and it just feels so much better in terms of damage and mining speed

[signal igloo]

they schooled me the other day how terrible it is

[elder snow]

Once properly upgraded the Pillar has the same potential as any other staff or Sentinel gun

[shadow lantern]

This is the first actual expedition staff I've received and honestly I'm a little underwhelmed. I transfered the upgrades from my atlantid multi tool over and it just doesn't feel as good

I didn't have very many good upgrades to begin with but still...

[wanton frigate]

Just poking my head in to say this is a normal use of the word draw! Though maybe falling out of favour as Carnies become less common and the world fills with marks and rubes!

[signal igloo]

"Having Will Wheaton at the convention was a huge draw to the attendance." <-- like that?

[elder snow]

Was your Atlantid MT S-class?

[prisma tundra]

Fair enough, learned something new today then!

[shadow lantern]

Yes

I upgraded the staff to S as well

[prisma tundra]

Yeah that’s what I presumed was the overall reward

[wanton frigate]

Today I learned that if you try to make bread in the real world the No Mans Sky way, you get kicked out of the bakery course.

[elder snow]

When both are S-class, it makes sense for the Atlantid to feel better for mining, since staves have one of the lowest Mining bonuses whereas Atlantids have the single highest

[prisma tundra]

Lmaoooo, but that does make sense

[shadow lantern]

I see. So is there a role the staff would perform better in than the atlantid?

It seems to be decent at blasting sentinels I guess....

[elder snow]

Staves and Sentinel MTs have the highest potential damage bonus

[shadow lantern]

I only have the staff and an atlantid multi tool currently

Haven't really looked for others

[wanton frigate]

Interesting. Is there a general breakdown of which types of tools are best at what? I keep generalising with whatever a-s class ones I can find

[elder snow]

I'm only bringing up Sentinel guns because statwise at S-class they are identical to staves, you can ignore them entirely in this case

[shadow lantern]

I see.

[elder snow]

I tagged you in the Questions channel

[shadow lantern]

The Pillar of Titan is so cool looking so I was a bit bummed out when it turned out weaker than my atlantid

[signal igloo]

in beachhead there was a MT in the last station cabinet someone's ozone stablizer - that thing is sick - even with boltcaster.

[shadow lantern]

Guess it can look good with my drip next expedition. Heard it will have the stone armor set or whatever it's called

[elder snow]

Supercharge slot location can have a big impact on performance, but even if both have identical layouts and mods:
The Atlantid will be better at minging.
And the Staff will have better damage

[shadow lantern]

I sped through beachhead. Barely paid any attention to it

[elder snow]

Living stone

[elder snow]

You missed out, Beachhead was imo significantly more fun than Titan

[shadow lantern]

So that's why combat seems slightly better then. I'll put my mining upgrades on the atlantid and the combat stuff will go on the staff then

Tbh, I find expeditions kinda annoying

[elder snow]

They're a nice change of pace imo

[shadow lantern]

Kudos to anyone who likes them, I ain't tryna diss anyone. Just I personally don't really like them. Feels like a lot of work for almost no gain

Like, I got the Normandy frigate but....I barely seem to use it. The freighter to me, is little more than a giant storage container

[elder snow]

It differs from Expedition to Expedition, made a spreadsheet for personal use of all the Expeditions and what you get from them, and some seem significantly more worthwhile to do than others depending on the types of rewards and unlocks you value

[honest forge]

Couldn't finish. Oh well.

I'll get a living ship another way.

[signal igloo]

i used to add more n more saves to my system - now with the main save terminal its a boom for units to a main save

[shadow lantern]

Well, the only expeditions I've done so far were Breach, Beachhead, and Titan. So perhaps my opinion is a bit premature.

[honest forge]

Can you use the frigates for anything now? Last I checked, they were mostly decoration for the freighter.

[shadow lantern]

As far as I know you can send them out on missions to collect certain resources and upgrades

To what end though, I have no idea

[signal igloo]

you know we used to be able to finagle ship trades through NPC, but the class would go wonky

[elder snow]

Frigate Expeditions, at which the Normandy is king alongside Organic frigates imo

[signal igloo]

you can gain crazy good upgrades and special projects from frigate expeditions

[elder snow]

Than it's probably gonna suck for you that the next Expedition after Relics is gonna be Breach again..

[signal igloo]

i have a haunted explorer frigate, i forget where it came from one of the expeditons I ran

Haunted Frigate is from Adrift

[signal igloo]

okay sounds familiar

[elder snow]

There's 3 Frigates you can get from Expeditions
Normandy from Beachhead
Leviathan (Organic) from Leviathan
And Cursed (ghost ship) from Adrift

[signal igloo]

and send those three out and they bring back riches beyond your wildest dreams

[elder snow]

it's also worth noting for the people questioning the usefulness of Frigate Expeditions.
Any Expedition involving an Organic Frigate has a chance of bringing back Upgrades for Living ships

[signal igloo]

so anyone use the raider frigates? lil'over priced but interesting to have around

[elder snow]

So if you use living ships (like the Wraith), Frigate Expeditions are definitely worth it

[signal igloo]

just just pulse driving through a system I was stopped by an egg and it gave me an upgrade tooo

[elder snow]

I have 1 because I wanted to have at least one of every ship type..
It's pretty much just a combat Frigate with a different skin..
But I'm considering dismissing it for another Organic Frigate

[signal igloo]

i wish there was a way to reroll the missions they offer from day to day

[latent owl]

i have a couple raider frigates but i might ditch a few of them bc their stats are dogwater lol

love how they look though

[signal igloo]

i mean, yeah they don't min/max welll but the cool factor.

[elder snow]

If I've gone through the trouble of upgrading a frigate to S-class I don't mind a cheeky save editor to change its bonuses around

[signal igloo]

intrigue ?

i am unreliable and sketchy but that sounds like the begininnnngg of a great story.

I was going to name a specific kind of story but thought of the TOS at discord

[prisma tundra]

Go to #nms-lfg-or-trades for that

[prisma tundra]

It depends on what you wanna do

[prisma tundra]

Yes, here

[shadow lantern]

Well, if different types of multi-tools excel at different types of tasks, then ideally I would have a dedicated multi-tool for each task. One would specifically be used for mining to get the most out of what I am mining, the other would be for combat do the most damage possible, ect.

I would prefer to just have one tool for everything but, I've got nothing better to do so may as well just max out everything

[elder snow]

While you are technically correct, that level of minmaxing and micromanagement absolutely does not feel worth the hassle

[shadow lantern]

You would be correct but I don't really have anything to do until the next expedition starts

I had like, 3 hours of autism-inspired Corvette building after getting the atlas parts then never touched it again

[elder snow]

I just upgraded my Atlas Staff and use it for everything

[shadow lantern]

Wish I had that one. Didn't get to do that expedition tho

[elder snow]

It will come around eventually, or you can do it whenever if you know how to

[prisma tundra]

I do have a multi-tool specifically for scanning/mining/etc and one only for damage, so I do split them up, it’s difficult to have everything on even a maxed tool because it’d be hard to switch between everything all the time, it’s why I focus on 1 maybe 2 weapons on ships as well, rather than all of them

[signal igloo]

i slapped a hand full of parts on - they didn't seem to do much, and went with that - the phase beams though, melts planets

[dusk siren]

im a new (returning) player and i was looking at doing the expedition but i held off because it had a time with only a day left on it and i thought it would end, but now is still there and i cant find any info on how much longer it will be available, does anyone know?

[signal igloo]

i tried a lil to make it look menacing

[elder snow]

It ended, you can't do it anymore, tomorrow a new one starts

[dusk siren]

ahhh i started it and it gives me a continue option so that make a lot of sense thank you!

[shadow lantern]

Oh my God dude, the phase beams on my primary Atlas Corvette could probably melt entire space stations

I mostly just use the phase beams and the infra knife

[signal igloo]

we should try thaT!

get a few of us in kitted vettes and attack a crappy station.

[shadow lantern]

I've taken on the entire sentinel fleet on several occasions. I absolutely annihilate their capital ship when it spawns

[signal igloo]

yeash but

i can do that in my R.pillar

[shadow lantern]

I scrapped the Pillar and took its wings

[signal igloo]

not so fast tho

[shadow lantern]

Never used it so may as well get something out of it

[signal igloo]

i been trying to build a native S - R.pillar

[shadow lantern]

I only have a handful of memory fragments so I only S class things I want to invest in

Like my staff for example

I could do it with nanites but I'm not at a point where I consider nanites disposable. At least not like credits

With credits or I guess units, I could probably buy out every faction, lol

[signal igloo]

just a rasa cockpit the radiant wings and the tri-thrust motor

i was working on making that when the expeditons came back

[shadow lantern]

I haven't done much with the ship building. The Corvette system kinda made it irrelevant

[signal igloo]

nah

[shadow lantern]

Sentinel ships seem to be the best at combat and I can't build those

[signal igloo]

ships are more than their numbers - its a relationship even with its faults and quirks was the falcon perfect? no way

[hot wadi]

The actual shipbuilder feels like it has too high of a wall to get started

[signal igloo]

which one

the corvette? or the basic?

[hot wadi]

Basic

Ive done crazy things with the corvette builder

[shadow lantern]

The basic ship one honestly is easier than the Corvette one

[signal igloo]

nah - easy peasy - just takes a few ships to farm parts you want

dont buy a ship you dont want the part from

[shadow lantern]

Buy a ship
Scrap it for a specific part
Repeat for each type of part you want
Assemble at station

You can choose the part you get at the scrap station

[signal igloo]

so the big expence is the 9k for the reactor

[shadow lantern]

You buy reactors from the ship upgrade merchant on the station. The reactor determines the class.

[hot wadi]

still, thats only the four basic, not the more exotic ships like salvage or living

[elder snow]

And even then you CAN (rare but still can) get those from other sources

[signal igloo]

no - we still don't have those

[shadow lantern]

Can't really do anything with living ships in the station. They have unique upgrades

It's why my Wraith is still garbage and collects dust in my freighter. No upgrades worth using for it yet

[hot wadi]

ill probably be sticking with either the sentinel ship, or my atlass corvette

[signal igloo]

i learned this morning you fly the living ship to get upgrades

[elder snow]

Also only 9k if your standing sucks.
They're only 6k if you have maxed standing with the system race

[signal igloo]

oooh

i never stick around long enough to know that

[shadow lantern]

The different factions have no idea what to do with me, lol. I'll max everyone out, then get bored and nuke one of their freighters

[elder snow]

And Frigate Expeditions involving Organic Frigates

[brisk zealot]

hey I thought I could complete my expedition today but it says complete. i onyly got about halfway through

[shadow lantern]

"I know I just disintegrated one of your flagships and it's entire crew but lemme get you some plants or drugs and call it even". Lmao

[hot wadi]

the exped ended at 10am est

[brisk zealot]

ahhhh lame

[elder snow]

You can get an item from outlaw stations (forgot what it's called, something something fake passport or whatever)
And you can use it to completely remove any negative standing with a race

[signal igloo]

I got to -180 with one

[shadow lantern]

I dont think I've ever had a negative standing

[signal igloo]

but i ended up having 10 freighter class S modules for expedtions

[shadow lantern]

I usually just fall in rank

[elder snow]

I'm not sure... but I think it just removes any loss of standing you've incurred.
So +200 -5 = 195
After using the forged passport it would just be 200 standing..
(Don't quote me on this tho)

[brisk zealot]

does the trick work where i go offline and set my computer clock back so I can finish the expedition?

[shadow lantern]

No idea

No harm in trying tho

It works for hatching eggs and skipping mission timers

I did Starbirth in like, 2 hours. Lol

[elder snow]

If you're going to do that, there's better ways to play Old Expeditions that don't involve fucking around with your computer clock

[brisk zealot]

hows that?

[elder snow]

There's services online where you can download a specific file, that if added to the right folder and playing in offline mode, just lets you play whatever Expedition you want

[brisk zealot]

oh nice. ill have to look that up. thanks

[elder snow]

Was thinking of using it myself to play a quick Expedition before the next one starts, but then I got distracted by Discord

[brisk zealot]

any idea if i have to start the whole thing oveR?

[elder snow]

That I don't know for sure

With some luck, adding the file for the Titan expedition should just allow you to continue where you left off

Because all it should be doing is trick the game into thinking Titan is the currently active Expedition

[brisk zealot]

word. ill give that a try

[signal igloo]

i used a forged passport and reset to zero standing

i worked my butt off getting my reactor below 10k then Bwash says oh i pay only 6k .. ha!

[elder snow]

Well yea.. I do only pay 6k for an S-class Reactor.

I did say I wasn't entirely sure how they worked.
My Standing is maxed out so I get the maximum discount

[signal igloo]

i know - no doubt i t was more like I spent a whole afernoon getting it below 10k

grinding race missions - the down side I was in Breach at the time

lol

but i know it can be done

just like the -180 I got for a minute, was also in the expediton

so it didn't have long term accountability but the forgery takes that all away

the fact I ended up filling my freighter up with nice upgrades made the exercise worth it

[elder snow]

According to the wiki page, when used in a regulated system, it resets any negative faction standing with the dominant faction of the system.
So if you use it in a Gek System, it resets the negative standing you have with the Gek.
If you have no negative faction standing, it just provides +1 standing

[signal igloo]

a gek system? can stay neg?

[elder snow]

According to reddit it sets you to neutral if you were below neutral

[signal igloo]

wild i might need to read up on this - i don't expect you to fill me in. but the tip is appreciated

[elder snow]

Negative standing < 0 > Positive standing.
When used if you have Negative standing, it sets your standing to 0 (Neutral)
When used if you have Positive standing, it just gives +1

[signal igloo]

oh reread that now i see what i missed.

ok

[elder snow]

So how useful the Forged passport is, scales with how much of a naughty boy you've been.
If you have a Standing of -150 with the Korvax.
You could do over a hundred Korvax missions or gift a ton of casings to increase it.
Or you can use a single passport and skip right to the part where your contributions actually benefit you rather than offsetting the bad you've been doing

the other part of running expeditions is your main save rep doesn't get creamed because you tear up a few systems. I couldn't believe how many S mods I was getting for my freighters in a 3 star purple system.

you said that but we don't know what that mean really and we are expedition chat not LFG chat

i guess in this case you need LFC for colabs

[heady pilot]

Generally when I see a brand new player asking for coop I assume he needs a babysitter because he doesn't know what he's doing. Personally, I'm happy to answer questions and impart knowledge on discord but I don't have the desire or patience to spend my in-game time babysitting.

[blazing fossil]

Brother what?

[signal igloo]

i was thinking it was on a project for something - like a expedition mod but i ain't got no skillz

thrice no answer or follow up data.. i am assuming spam bot

weird text and status is new. so yeah - bin?

[blazing fossil]

Considering the bold text and vague sentence it could also be a scam

[signal igloo]

bin...

see you on the other side where I'll be PLAYING!!!! going home

[gleaming musk]

The only babysitting I need is that awesome video posted with the full guide on how to finish that thing in 2 hours

thing was a godsend

my first expedition went wihtout a hitch (ignore that part where I almost died...)

[elder snow]

Answering some questions in between whatever it is I'm doing is one thing.
Jumping into a call or a coop game or both is a very different matter.

wah

oh

I thought Titan ended today and Relics immediately started

woops

[elder snow]

From what I can tell there's always a fairly short break in between Expeditions.
Although so far no one has been able to tell me at what exact time Relics is set to begin.

[remote thunder]

if it hasn't changed it'll probably be

[mossy breach]

Well yeah but these aren't normal expeditions they're reduxes

I've never done these before so I didn't know about the short delay

[elder snow]

What timezone?

[remote thunder]

UTC+0 (unix time 1764770400)

[blazing fossil]

Nah, expedition break has been several months before (the good old times when there wasn’t new expeditions constantly for almost a year)

[elder snow]

I see.. I was expecting some American timezone, leading to Relics only starting on Thursday or something for me.
But UTC+0 works

[remote thunder]

1764770400 unix start time

[elder snow]

Ima be honest I have little to no idea what that means

[scarlet island]

Really wish I could pre-load my expedition console so all my stuff is ready to go the instant a new one starts.

[elder snow]

By "short breaks" I meant "like a day"

[blazing fossil]

I read it as, there’s only a short break, apologies

[remote thunder]

go here https://www.unixtimestamp.com, put that number in, and convert (should autodetect your timezone)

[elder snow]

What a weird system

I tend to just use worldTimeBuddy.com

[formal cape]

do you have the unix time because thats pulled from the game files or something?

[remote thunder]

i'm not sure if it was obtained from game files or another source that i dont really want to go much into, but it should be fairly reliable

[formal cape]

i was just curious

the moderately reliable source is in fact bk counting the seconds by hand

[signal igloo]

looking at assets for the expedition tomorrow i totally forgot i claimed a yellow sentinel ship last week

[ocean gorge]

Shit, I missed Titan, they must’ve started early

[signal igloo]

o.O

[ocean gorge]

Until last year, reduxes didn’t start so early that I recall

Mostly a December thing

[signal igloo]

checkin out my ships and the yellow sentinel ship has artimis on the dash, but not installed in tech....

[prisma tundra]

pretty sure holiday reduxes for 2023 also started around mid november or early december, depending on how many there were to redux
(edit: just double checked, 2023 did have a slightly later start time, but 2022, the first year of reduxes, had the same start time (ish) as the past two years)

better log out - these are old expeditions and wildly easy to spoil

com'on not telling me nothing... having too much fun playin I 'spose... 🙂

all you sppeed runners are nearly done I suspect...

[pure spoke]

Ngl Reddit has helped me get these done so much faster than usual

[signal igloo]

i am like the opposite of speed runner i goof off the whole time like a hall pass weekend!! 🥳

[pure spoke]

I used to do so the same but now I just want to get them done

[foggy valley]

Any recommendations what I should take with me for Relics exp ?

[wraith junco]

Fishing baits

[signal igloo]

maybe some cond-carbon for warppings - and a good scanning MT

going to be scanning your pants off - might as well make some cash

looks like the bionic lure is needed but the bait... who know

[foggy valley]

great, good to know, thanks volks !

[signal igloo]

its usually one reward gives BP for the next hurdle- so they most likely give you BP for the lures, to catch a fish bones

[tulip atlas]

saw we start on a dissonant planet so i took the oppurtunity

[wet mirage]

Please remember to turn off PvP or Multiplayer after you start the expedition! 👀

[heady pilot]

If you don't plan to import a ship from the main save grabbing an interceptor is an excellent choice. Put its hyperdrive into a SC slot for some extra range. But it is usually preferable to bring in a killer ship from the main save.

[tulip atlas]

i have no idea how to do that but its oki i like finding these sentinel ships

[heady pilot]

If you start the expedition from the main save(ie the expedition terminal next to the quicksilver bot on the Anomaly) then when you get to the anomaly in thee expedition you can use that same terminal to copy your ship and multitool from the main save at a cost of nanites and you can pick up any items you put in it for the expedition before starting.

[tulip atlas]

oh neat

[signal igloo]

its really a boon to you balance sheets too

[daring briar]

when does the next redux ep start ?

[signal igloo]

earlier this am

1:20

ago

[daring briar]

ok Ill respawn the anomaly ..

I had to remove the musule upgrades from the last exp

*module

[signal igloo]

what'ya mean

i have commited to playing Relics with the living ship The Wraith...

but the potential of starting on the dissident planet is trying to short curcuit that

[wanton frigate]

No one's saying you can't claim an Interceptor as well, just to have in the hanger... I'm sure the Living Ship won't mind or get jealous.

[signal igloo]

oh he don't know her vewy well, do he?

yeah if I get a nice one I'll bring it back wit me

[wanton frigate]

Refined nanites, refined nanites, payin' her bills
Livin', Lovin', she's just a hauler...

[signal igloo]

i have not figured out living ships, I been ignoring them for a few yearsa

so i need to troll for upgrades in uninhabited systems and what about INV expansions ?

I just start the expedition and use what they give me.

[ember garnet]

a new expedition already? what do i bring

[inland crescent]

Nothing 🐚

[atomic estuary]

-> #nms-expedition message

[blazing fossil]

Basic resources, I think fishing lures could be useful

[signal igloo]

what makes you happy? bring dat. looks like a lot of scanning going on so... do with that as you need to. range and value to make some creds

all so optional tho

[inland crescent]

Y'all prep for this stuff?

[blazing fossil]

Some people do, yes

[inland crescent]

Sounds extra. They give you what you need.

[signal igloo]

hmm, not usually - just play the victim of it. but these days seems interesting to try to bring that difference maker

i mean everything we have we can get fresh on the expedition, but how fast - might be easy to bring

[blazing fossil]

It makes it easier, and not as time consuming
Meaning people with less time available, or people who just want to be done quickly can do it quicker

If you don’t want to bring items that’s fine, don’t go hating on people that do though

[inland crescent]

The essence of NMS is play how you want. Imo, expeditions aren't even long. Unless you're trying to speedrun everything.

[inland crescent]

What hate? You read that, not me.

[signal igloo]

i brought units on one save - couldn't really use them in the last run

brought nanites on another save last time - they seemed easier to use. and made life simple

the funny thing is it doesn't make it go fastr. tho spend all that time refining not progressing.

[atomic estuary]

Heads up: Gunter will be spamming a couple of placeholder messages for a pin and I will delete anything caught in-between so please hang on a sec

Kk. The deed is done

Carry on

[signal igloo]

hanks BA

[hollow shore]

Some room to spare , ... lol, smart!

[covert kernel]

today i learned 'couple' goes up to eight :D

[signal igloo]

why

[wanton frigate]

because the "Couple of Placeholders" that Gunter was going to post was 8 posts, I think

Or in other words, Gunter - tell us you're into Swinging without telling us you're into Swinging 😉

[signal igloo]

ooohh thanks i needed that esplained today - i have days like that now...

[pearl zinc]

ok now what do i do if the stone guardians arent stone guardianing

seems like theyre sleepy

[wanton frigate]

Did you activate the thingy at the red marker? You have to opt-in to the fight far as I remember.

[pearl zinc]

yeah

took the eyes

[signal igloo]

i have found that in general there is a slim chance they don't 'activate' like normal

[wanton frigate]

Maybe drop a save point near the marker, save, reload and see if it's the same? Had fierce issues with Sentinels and Bugs not appearing in my Settlement all week.

[signal igloo]

might have to move on to another set

[wanton frigate]

when in doubt, blame Multiplayer 😉

[signal igloo]

yeah but no

[pearl zinc]

turns out it was actually the problem

[outer lotus]

This expedition seems simple.

[wanton frigate]

does that mean they took out the Bonefish step? Oh thank the Atlas!

It's changed to "land 7 fish" - that's such a relief. The Bonefish was the Expedition last time..

[outer lotus]

Question feed a bone to cronus. Is cronus marked or do you have to find it somewhere?

[wanton frigate]

The pug ugly guy on the Anomaly that you can feed G&Ts to get Nanites

[outer lotus]

I see that's simple then

[wanton frigate]

take the right hand ramp up, he's at the back beside the grill and egg sequencer

[fair iris]

🤭

[signal igloo]

rush much?

[fair iris]

🤣

[signal igloo]

make xaine look bad?

[wraith junco]

Its not a long expedition. I didint leaved starter system and have over half tasks done

[fair iris]

longest part was finding those 55 bones

[signal igloo]

its true

i read over some steps, might be the old ones

tho

[fair iris]

after that its pretty much done

[signal igloo]

titan was that way too, for stage 5 all i needed was to go to the spot

wow - i hope it;s a large planet

there was so many domes on titan that we couldn't find marked planets in the nav ring

the way points on the titan had terrain all torn off massive holes around the buildings... lol

we noticed (my buddy and I) we play MP expeditions often, and we noticed about 90% of the things, waypoints, crash freight becons, ship becons - ALL perform for both of us, and we are careful to check each of us before moving on.

thats why i do everything in singleplayer, nms is super awkward with triggers in multiplayer
