[tender tusk]

From what i gather on this Discord is that to do Multiplayer you need to have a really good network connection since the MP seems to be Peer 2 Peer; so your network speed etc is important.

I'm not sure if this is a hard fact or been stated by HG

[rapid wolf]

hi everyone, what should i bring to the new expedition?

[wraith junco]

Starter fuel

[tender tusk]

warp cells

[blazing fossil]

Why bring two atlas passes?

Ones of higher tier will open any of a tier below as well

[rapid wolf]

its new to me that the v3 is the only one necessary haha

[blazing fossil]

And you don’t need atlas passes at all

[rapid wolf]

thanks for the information mate 😄

[rapid wolf]

can i bring more things, or only here and now before it start?

[signal igloo]

no one ever need them but they are fun to have

[rapid wolf]

having a v3 makes me feel like a VIP

[meager fog]

Ahaha there are guides online bro search relic expedition guide you can do it in like 2 hours maybe 3

As a solo

[remote thunder]

take a look at this post, <#nms-expedition message>, that has general stuff to bring

[tender tusk]

You can only bring in items into the Expedition once at the start and recover them at the Expedition Terminal in the Anomaly after you warp one system

[rapid wolf]

thansk a lot! am i able to bring more stuff to the expedition later?

[remote thunder]

nah, like WWNSX said, only at start, not after having started

[rapid wolf]

right, my bad for not observing it, thanks!

[remote thunder]

all good, nothing to be sorry about

[chilly kayak]

What should I start the relics expedition with to make things go faster?

[remote thunder]

take a look at this post, <#nms-expedition message>, that has general stuff to bring

[chilly kayak]

Ty

[signal igloo]

ive been using quartzite for chromatic metals on these expeditions - thre is no copper in purple systems, in general.

[remote thunder]

purple star system planets wont ever have copper or act copper on the list, yeah. might be able to get copper elsewhere in a purple star system though, yeah e.g. from buried caches

[signal igloo]

you dont need it for chromatic - any stellar metal will make Chromeatic

there is a few exo upgrades that need it. the perm-C class haz protect

i was talking about copper, because i didn't see how long I was away, and it was mentioned up there someplace ^^ its moot now...

specifically for making chromatic metals

i iz all nah man just for the purp

when i finished titan and only, still had the 64 copper i got randomly i was caught looking for copper in breach - until it clicked that quartzite was stellar metal too

[wraith junco]

If anyone gets these bones somehow that im missing .Message me.

[signal igloo]

whats up astar

[wraith junco]

Nothing. Finished the expedition.

[signal igloo]

y'alls in such a hurry :]

[remote thunder]

arent these the bones that had been missing in catalog since relics?

do you have skull of a cursed doe?

[wraith junco]

Yeah. But i hear rumors that u can get them. So im just sending message just in case

[remote thunder]

ah ok i see

[signal igloo]

i have to say- the barter system is not my favorite -

[wraith junco]

Yep

[scarlet island]

Man, I really gotta stop speeding through these expeditions. Just finished the last quest, now I get to wait another 2 weeks.

[remote thunder]

i think of expeditions as 1 big quest, after which i just go back to playing my sandbox

[scarlet island]

last time I chose to stay in the expedition and kickstart myt food empire. Got that set up though, so haven't decided what to do this time yet

[remote thunder]

a bones museum

[hollow shore]

@wraith junco There had been some speculation from Captain Steve. Just got messaged by someone keeping an eye out:

Captain Steve just released a new video. He was NOT able to get any of the infamous missing bone pieces. I apologize if I got anyone’s hopes up.
Which is this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJRacE2JpAo

Which means, the following fossils are still buried a bit too deep. They'd require modding/tools to get.

[echo mason]

There's one thing I don't quite understand about the expeditions: Players keep sending me items in the Space Anomaly... some of them really good stuff. The expedition has only just started, so what do these players get out of giving them to me? Should I be worried about getting banned?

[remote thunder]

nah, no need to worry, wont get banned for anything like that. nms just has a really generous community: if you dont want the items, you can send them back

[signal igloo]

do as you will with them- your choice - no banning has ever happened

it might make one aspect of one stage easier to have a few units - but in the long run just sell it and move on

[echo mason]

Thank you guys! I got some Salvaged Frigate Modules now ^^

[signal igloo]

those are nice to have

not sell

you can buy freighter upsgds

[echo mason]

These things were always valuable to me, yes. I'll put them away safely.

[signal igloo]

dont need more than a freighter stack

[remote thunder]

regardless if you started from existing save or new save, those are nice to hold. that said, if you started from existing save, dont spend them in expedition: freighter research unlocked doesnt merge with existing save.

[odd herald]

That's why I usually do a fresh save for each expedition and just claim the rewards on my main save

[agile lotus]

Hello does anyone want to play I'm new to the discord group

[signal igloo]

its not as interesting to me anymore to make a new save

i have no room

might start a GOG account to get more save spaces

[remote thunder]

welcome to the server! we do have the #nms-lfg-or-trades channel to try and find others to play with, try asking there if you havent already

[agile lotus]

Kk thx

[echo mason]

Yes, exactly, that's known, I'd like to say thank you again, great community here 🙂

[signal igloo]

its kinda exciting to see oll the people on the anomaly - but i normally play MP off and only see them when my PS5 guy joins me. weird part is He claims to have MP off too... but we get to see EVERYone when playing together

[remote thunder]

what controls the ability for someone to join us is who can join my group - if that's permissive enough, multiplayer can be disabled, and others are still able to join. once someone joins, the multiplayer option might get greyed out, or forcefully and visibly set to enabled

at least, it used to work like this

[wraith junco]

Thx. I figured .

[signal igloo]

the evidence supports that explaination - its exactly what I see.

i think i just wanted to clarify that all is right with the world. in this case

[uneven plinth]

How am I supposed to do that?

I already put it in nutrient processor

[scarlet island]

add a meat or other ingredient as the second choice alongside the softened marrow you got first time

[uneven plinth]

But it shows that it can't be cooked

[uneven plinth]

So do I have to cook other fossil?

[signal igloo]

maybe try make broth first?

[uneven plinth]

How?

[signal igloo]

i have not had a chance yet

[remote thunder]

• Hearty Stock: Cook Softned Marrow+Softned Marrow, or Softned Marrow+any meat.

[signal igloo]

look at the stage steps again

[remote thunder]

3rd line: "combine stacks of marrow"

[scarlet island]

You put a single bone in (any type) and it should process out to a softened marrow. Then take the softened marrow out of the output, put it back in the input, and add a meat to the second input (or a sweetroot, and I'm sure other foods work too), and it will make a bone broth

[remote thunder]

instead of "any meat", sweetroot, pulpy roots will also work for example

[signal igloo]

the graphic say to put differnt stacks of the same thing in the slots of the processor

another soften marrow too

[remote thunder]

@wraith junco is there a planet with bones in rdv4 system this time around?

[formal cape]

guardians at vigilant stones seem to die the instant i pick up the eye. i assume this is a multiplayer issue?

[signal igloo]

i've seen it happen in single player also. I've had to open three one day to get a fight

[formal cape]

ive done 6 so far

all die instantly, but arent counting towards milestone progress

[signal igloo]

itgoes like this - I open it - wait a second. nothing - look around nothing... go find another one

you can try MP off

but i can't say that is only reason

[remote thunder]

try to disable mp+save+reload from main menu, try again. not sure if related here, but remember, customizing difficulty settings/on foot combat, enemy strength - or doing it on a planet with shutdown sentinels can cause issues with their spawns

[formal cape]

ahhh i did shutdown the sentinels. interesting. just waiting for my refiners to stop, then ill reload

[signal igloo]

i've seen them act sketchy in sandbox. so, the shut down could be a factor for sure.

[foggy valley]

what planets are relicworlds ? The game tells me i'm in a system with that kind of planet, but none of them has them in description

[remote thunder]

see infographic (also available in !faq-biomes), the relic aka ruin world synonyms

[wraith junco]

Didint checked 😅 i had full ship of bones and just rushed from dig site to dig site.

[remote thunder]

ah, no worries

[foggy valley]

thanks for that !

[wraith junco]

What was the rdv 4 name again?

[remote thunder]

Dig IV
System: Uelinf-Icop
Planet: Juktasham Bokus

[wraith junco]

Hmm names dont match. Ods issues?

[tender tusk]

could be but i had issues with one system in Titan having two names and ODS was fine

[scarlet island]

FYI, Baghu in the last system is listed as an "Overgrown Planet" but after landing on it I was able to confirm it's a relic world and used it to finish out the expedition.

[remote thunder]

hmm maybe, sorry

[wraith junco]

Not your fault

[remote thunder]

yeah, overgrown is one of the synonyms that is both a non-ruin and a ruin subtype synonym

[wraith junco]

Rdv 3 system also has ruined planet. Name : Thurc X20

Abandoned crucible

[remote thunder]

gotcha, ty both

[foggy valley]

thanks, that helped a lot !

[versed gull]

2 bone marrows makes a bone broth too. i just used 2 bones to do it.

[formal cape]

quit to mode select, loaded back in, guardians work now. confirmed the issue was the sentinel shutdown

[wraith junco]

Intresting that it affect them

[remote thunder]

yeah, i guess they're considered "guardians" too

[wraith junco]

For me system is called Lufangi-Runan
I have 3 planets with bones
Awus V radiated biome
Loloydoni moon cold biome
Ucilip III hot biome
I think last one is RDV planet

[signal igloo]

so, that brings up a MP question on expeditions, which I do a lot of. When fighting sentinels in space. we often finish off the dreadnaught just to have another show up seconds later. We attribute it to us fighting them together, but the system response is spearate. Has anyone else had that?

the Guardian thing

[remote thunder]

gotcha, i'll take a look asap, thanks

[wraith junco]

Np

[remote thunder]

sorry, wdym "the system response is different"?

[signal igloo]

uhm the system response - they send a pack of sents to fight me, and buddy helps we take down the dread and another shows up really soon aftre that... we think they are coming to punish HIM now..

different like separate response to each of us attackign them , even though we are grouped

idk if anyone has much MP expedition experience

i know it's sketch-it mostly works ok...

[remote thunder]

hmm.. well, i know that if we're in a group, and one of us spawns sentinels, the presence of additional player(s) spawns more sentinels for all (unless difficulty settings prevent/reduce it), like double probably that does make sense - a 2nd sentinel dreadnought spawning right after the other definitely sounds similar to that

[signal igloo]

yeah that sums it up

happens on planets too - like they never get shut off

[remote thunder]

did both of you had a wanted level on when the 2nd spawned? or it had cleared already?

[signal igloo]

mine will go blue - but i keep fighting his. so that is making a lil sense

[formal cape]

i may have been wrong here. jumped to rdv2 and the stones arent working again

[signal igloo]

cycles endlessly

none of the guardians?

Sub

[formal cape]

first one failed, ill try some more

[signal igloo]

i was going over weird sentinel behavior - I've had to open three or more playing single player (MP off)

[remote thunder]

some stones might not spawn - i've had that happen before i think as well. try another

[signal igloo]

it's weird -as we have friends can join i can tell when hes login on and ton of players all show up at once

[formal cape]

3 more failed (4 total) but the 5th one worked. so the odds/rng are just goofy

[signal igloo]

time to go home, maybe i get to play - if i am lucky - :]

[naive prism]

nice bug in the expedition: trading corvette parts counts as trading fossile parts 🤣

[inland crescent]

WOW..... people are placing bases on ruin sites. I was in the middle of getting keys.

[remote thunder]

remember that we can can report bases via on foot quick menu to hide them from us - keeping multiplayer disabled can probably help get rid of some

[inland crescent]

I did, but still.

[silk jasper]

If you create a copy of your MT and ship in the expedition, you won't be able to copy those back to main save right (since they already exist there)?

[wraith junco]

U can take modules from it back to main save if u got a nice ones

[tender tusk]

You can if you have extra slots just rename them just in case

[remote thunder]

you could also scrap or archive primary char gear

[silk jasper]

Right right. Ok I'm asking too because I was a fool during my 1st expedition (titan) and I applied inventory modules onto my ship while in expedition. But the smart move would have been to bring those modules BACK to main save then apply to ship and/or MT right?

[tender tusk]

I was able to copy my survival corvette into Titan and back into main but i did that at the end to not mess anything else up and it worked fine so far

[wraith junco]

Always backup saves. Just in case

[silk jasper]

I wasn't able to copy my MT back from expedition (since I copied it into Titan), so I know for sure I had to tweak my main save MT after getting back. I'm still learning ins & outs of expeditions tho.

[silk jasper]

Is there a link where I can read on best way to do this?

[wraith junco]

Copy on pendrive/ memory card/ cloud.

Only xbox is limited to cloud i think

[remote thunder]

if pc, simply copy paste save folder in a folder of your choosing-not the game's; if console, could also make use of hello games cloud (intended for cross save, but not necessarily used for it) and automatic uploads disabled if you wanted

@silk jasper please see replies above after your last question

[silk jasper]

I am on PC so I'll just copy save folder over into backup folder ezpz

[remote thunder]

can run !faq-savefiles in #nms-commands for paths if needed

[knotty pier]

oh my GOD why does the expedition crash so much on s2

for some reason its only with this expedition too

[silk jasper]

Lol look at this deposit

[light plume]

huh there's a surprising amount of tasks you can do on the first planet alone

[light plume]

i should maybe get off the first planet these creatures are not producing dung 😭

[silk jasper]

Does anyone know what happens to your corvette item stash from expedition? I'm putting some corvette pieces in there that I found while on expedition.

I'm guessing those just poof if you don't specifically bring them back to main save?

[blazing fossil]

Think so, yeah

[tender tusk]

yeah if you don't put them in the terminal they go poof; if you're into inventory management and getting the most back to a main save if that's how you play then i'd follow this guide.

[pulsar panther]

Is there a problem with opening the game after the update?

[blazing fossil]

What platform are you on?

[pulsar panther]

Steam, I restarted the pc and landed the corvette instead of just getting out and something of the two fixed all the crashes lol

[pulsar panther]

Is it natural that the game has zero load on the GPU 0 in task manager? I feel that my game loads everything on ram instead of making use of the gpu ram as well

[blazing fossil]

Idk, I don’t play on pc, try asking in #nms-questions

[pulsar panther]

I asked before it got ignored or nobody saw it never mind 😂

[pulsar panther]

I feel like I get way more space encounters in expeditions than in the main game

[kind pasture]

what can u make for the cronus quest for cronus to accept it

[remote thunder]

• Bone Appétit: If Bone Broth doesn't complete milestone, give Cronus something else that you can. Some players were able to complete milestone with giving him bones or Softned Marrow.

[shy dagger]

I wonder if the first expedition and emergence will ever be back

[inland crescent]

The flared base is the planet itself

[brittle elbow]

Question: This expedition doesn't have any limited/exclusive items, right?

I was wondering about the bone broth since this is the first time I've ever seen it

[wraith junco]

U can make it from any bones

[brittle elbow]

I see

[wise meteor]

and i found out earlier. Its not actually the bone broth he wants ( which is made from two softened bones) he just wants a bone. It tells you that bottom right. Whereas the achievement does say " bone broth"

[brittle elbow]

Yeah, also realized that late too 😅

[wise meteor]

... after I wasted quite a lot of skeleton

[brittle elbow]

I just made 2 broths, luckily the second time I interacted with him it clicked for me

[wise meteor]

I hope he gave you a good review 🙂

[brittle elbow]

I don't think he had a good time

[signal igloo]

i noticed on titan there were a few places that 100% were scripted encounters.

i ran it .. 4 times i think and always at the same spots heading to the same waypoint RV

in fact in titan one of the encounters was a full interdiction (pulls you out of pulse drive)

[haughty merlin]

new expedition!!!!

[signal igloo]

its pretty good lot of diggy dig

or is it digity dig

[spiral dirge]

Hey guys, where's the ruins planet for phase 5?

for probing memory stones

[remote thunder]

Baghu in rdv5 system

[spiral dirge]

okay i'll try that

[spiral dirge]

that worked! thank you so much! i kept hopping around each planet but the prompt didnt pop up at all

[wanton frigate]

God damn it, I was waiting for a Switch patch, but it don't need no steeenking patch! So much relicing time wasted.... Offa we go!

[warped prism]

is this a new expedition? the last one gave the titan multi tool right?

[wanton frigate]

Relics, yes. Started yesterday lunch time
Anyone else crashing (game, not ship) every time they take off and try to fly to the ruins for that 2nd milestone? Happened twice now... Edit 3 times. Edit 4 times and this time I'd claimed all my outstanding milestones, installed all available tech, exited the ship to make a new save point, turned around three times and knocked on the table and everything.

I wonder if I left Multiplayer switched on....

Nope. 5 times. 6 if you count the time it crashed reloading... Getting worried now. Reverting to primary save.... Ok that's alright at least.
7 selecting a different goal didn't help. (And the direction of travel isn't the trigger either)
8 leaving the area on foot also crashes. God damn it... What I wouldn't give for an orbital uplink....
9 trying to sneak out underground doesn't help
10 I escaped! I flew straight up without crossing into a new region! Hurray! Then I flew to the map marker for the relic site and crashed as I entered atmosphere. Son of a motherless gek!
11 now my most recent save is hitting atmosphere. Oh shit. I may have lost my save. My unbackupable 273 hr saved.

[grim mica]

I already finished the expedition. Choose to bring in my main ship and leave with this for the same reason I did in the last.

[haughty merlin]

how

[slender sinew]

Does anyhow know the milestones for the relic redux expedition?

I wanted to speed run it

[wanton frigate]

Check the pins, they're all there as usual

[slender sinew]

Thankss

[remote thunder]

still having issues? are you able to, after loading in your save, to go completely offline, or you dont get that ability (it wont let you be fully offline)?

[wanton frigate]

Switch 2, and I've been trying Airplane mode, but no dice.

Ok, if I persist it loads. I'll try another planet

[remote thunder]

always with the same ruin?

yeah good idea

[wanton frigate]

It's leaving the spot the ship was parked at, I've just started.

[remote thunder]

oh i see. hmm. started from existing save? or new save? have you tried clearing console cache?

[wanton frigate]

New save seemed ok. But I flew straight up on that, which also worked when i tried it on normal. Hmmm landed on the station ok, and on the moon ok.

[remote thunder]

hmm

maybe doing that doesnt give it time to load anything else, or doesnt go close enough

Haha! Found a relic on the moon trying to dig up enough bits to build a corvette so I could change the ship as a variable. Screw this system and it's bugged planet! Unless the next milestone is there....

[remote thunder]

hopefully it goes smooth

anything feel free to ask/ping

[clear vigil]

why runaway mould?

[tender tusk]

to make nanites if you want to bring existing ships and multitoosl into the expedition; thee are numerous curious deposit farms in the first system so you can skip that and just find those bases to get nanites

[clear vigil]

ah, ok then nvm

[wanton frigate]

There's a base called "18 relics start super resourcen" and the only resource it has is room. To improve. But hey, it loaded after the second go which is more than any other part of that planet did so I'm grateful for it.

Edit : got cocky walking around after a successful region transition but alas as soon as I tried to go back to the ship, zzapp.

[covert kernel]

are there any particularly easy things i can do after clearing all the milestones to generate more nanites for the completion?

[wanton frigate]

There are tonnes of mold bases. Go on tour. There's a drink (Tonic?) that I think is made from Star Brambles that you can give to Cronos for nanites but only one at a time. Lucrative but it's so deathly dull pounding the button....

[covert kernel]

i run in offline mode because i find the infinite swarm of waypoints disorienting.

[formal cape]

Does the Basilisk Crown MT come out of the expedition as a reward? Or should I export it?

[covert kernel]

to clarify my question: when i completed the titan redux expedition, i noticed there were actions taken during the expedition that produced nanites that i was surprised by, but my dumb self didn't take screenshots of any of them

[formal cape]

Learning words

[covert kernel]

so i'm wondering if there's things the expedition rewards unusually. rather than things i can just do in a normal run to produce nanites.

hm. that helps.

[tidal sleet]

I bought the game yesterday, installed it, and set it up . I want to try online multiplayer. any one in the space anomaly now?

[formal cape]

That’s the only one that comes to mind because it surprised me

This reddit post tells the payout rewards for activities. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1gdk2xd/additional_rewards_from_expeditions/

[covert kernel]

thank you that's what i was hoping for!

[tender tusk]

The rewards and rendezvous points are also pinned in this channel

[covert kernel]

already had that information, but thanks

[signal igloo]

honestly the payout seems really good. i ran two expeditions on saves that were kinda new, now the save have more money/nanites than sense.

[covert kernel]

yeah i was impressed with what i got before and wanted to see if i could push currency on purpose this time

[signal igloo]

then again I just kept everything i mined got won...

5k per system visited? 500 per sentinel erased?

[fleet hearth]

900 per fish caught 😆

[sonic sierra]

What should I do to complete this mission? Just sell all my bones at any station?

[tender tusk]

If you've already done all the skeleton assemblies milestones then yes sell them

[sonic sierra]

Thank you guys!

[heady pilot]

Sell the assembled ones, you should have one assembled one from each phase and each sells for about half a mil so selling the five should give you 2.5mil.

What was the name of the Halloween expedition? I missed that one and could've sworn it was supposed to be live today when I read the list a few weeks ago 🤷‍♂️

Welp did some digging. It's "Breach" and not active til the 31st. Dang now I got time to kill lol.

[chilly kayak]

Who do you sell the bones to?

[remote thunder]

for cash? any trade terminal works

[chilly kayak]

For rags to bones

[remote thunder]

yep, for cash

go for it, any trade terminal or npc pilot, like at the station

[chilly kayak]

Ty

[violet delta]

In the expedition, keep annoying these stupid eyes, no guardians spawn. Anyone know the issue and how to fix?

[remote thunder]

did you shutdown sentinels on the planet? or did you modify options/difficulty/on foot combat or enemy strength? if neither of these things, then just loot some more vigilant stones, sometimes they dont spawn

would suggest having mp disabled as well

[violet delta]

Alright, I didn’t mess with any settings so maybe it’s bad luck

[signal igloo]

I picked these up on RV3 planet and they spawned pretty consistently- along with the memory stones

i got as far as stage 4 this morning so i need to jump in after dinner maybe to wrap it up,

lookit there discord wants me to click checkpoint- i bet there is a charge to see it tho

nah ity showed me

[somber stone]

I noticed,after completing the latest expedition, I can't collect the Titanic Trophy with my main save character... is there a reason for that? I can collect the other expedition rewards

[signal igloo]

mdntsurfer was my goto

[signal igloo]

after finising relic your titan is missing?

[remote thunder]

titanic trophy wasn't a reward in expedition 17 titan; it was originally an exp4 reward

[somber stone]

@signal igloo Well, I always start a new account when doing an expedition, and after finishing it, I go on my Main Save character and collect the expedition rewards. I noticed the Titanic Trophy isn't on the list of collectible expedition rewards

[signal igloo]

I got a living ship as the ultimate reward for titan this time

i didn't get a trophy

[somber stone]

Ah okay @remote thunder ... I guess if I really want my main save account to have the trophy I could always do the expedition with it

[signal igloo]

along the way I got a pillar of titan staff multi

i missed out on titan the long version so I might be outta my wheelhouse

i always had ran new save - but found the terminus pretty rewarding to use

like they say playing the game always risks a save so I get get it

[wanton frigate]

Is the trophy a huge skull? I was cycling through my ships trying to find my Expedition go-bag and found a giant skull earlier... Can't remember where it's from though.

I never started a new save for the expedition. Following my crashes on this one, I'm not sure whether I'm convinced that error recovery is rock solid given two reboots or scared shitless the last few years of my gaming life is as ephemeral as yesterdays jam....

[signal igloo]

that is why I mention it to anyone asking

[remote thunder]

yeah, it's like the grave of the ocean king space encounter 3d model, but much smaller and a base part decoration

[signal igloo]

I seen one on a corvette this summer

right above the cockpit

on one save I have the lil'ball exotic so nimble I get dizzy - and my hand made ship on the steam save nice fighter I buildduring an expedition - for whatever reason idk

[kind pasture]

when does the relics expedition end

[fervent umbra]

I have multiplayer disabled but I'm seeing tunnels made by other players constantly? At both of the first dig sites I found pre-existing tunnels and I found a pre-existing tunnel at someone's base that led to two ancient bone deposits. I feel like that shouldn't be happening...

[tender tusk]

yeah i've been seeing it too

[haughty merlin]

#nms-expedition message nvm I just finished it 💀

[lavish stream]

how come my visor isnt showing me buried records?

Edit: I’m dumb asf all good now

is a ground creature an underground creature or just one walking on land?

oh a GROUP im dumb

[tender tusk]

as far as scanning any creature but for the photo one you want to get three in a shot they don't have to be together but they have to be in the photo area

[lavish stream]

yeee

[calm ember]

How in the world do I find a skull?? I'm on the Biped task, I've searched legitimately twelve separate, far apart fossil beds on the second dig-site world and I haven't found a single skull

[tender tusk]

If you have multiplayer on, save your game, go to options and in network turn off multiplayer, and then reload your game and see if that helps when digging up fossil beds

also you can go to the fossil vendor on space stations at the very back right on the first level and barter parts if you have extra

[calm ember]

Thank you!

[fair iris]

the fossil vendor is also at every expedition site on the planets where you have to talk to the archeologist at the camps

[calm ember]

Thank you! I will be running back there, I ran VERY far lol

[fair iris]

you also have to find 55 bones anyway, so theres bound to be at least one head lmao

so just keep digging

[calm ember]

Fair enough, I'm pretty close to finishing that

[vast crane]

Hello, could anyone give me a hand with relic redux expedition? I think i made a mistake, by making a corvette, i then scrapped the ship they give u, without taking the atlantid drive from it...

[remote thunder]

• what platform are you on?
• did you start from new or existing save?
• do you already have access to space anomaly?

[vast crane]

Hello, Im on PC, I started a new save for Relics expedition and I already have access to space anomaly. I can add that I have the drive blueprint, but I cant get indium

[remote thunder]

• save editor is an option
• starting a new expedition save is an option
• you could get indium, by 1) buy 2 c-class positron/infra/cyclo ship upgrade module, install and dismantle for 250 cadmium+2 looms 2) unlock and install emeril drive, get emeril. 3) unlock and install indium drive, get indium.
• you'd need 1 living glass as well - anomaly/synth lab for the unlock, could get gamma root for lubricant from some trade outpost npc pilots (not station ones)

if you want me to elaborate some more on any part of each step, let me know

[vast crane]

I understand, I didnt know about that 3rd point, I will give it a try, thank you very much sir.

[remote thunder]

always happy to help, anything else feel free to ping if needed

[tranquil spruce]

@vast crane You can make Gamma root with 2 Uranium and 1 Oxygen = 1 Gamma root just in case you can't buy it.

[remote thunder]

using a refiner yeah, or just get some gamma from a planet, will need hazmat gauntlet for it though

plenty of options

[vast crane]

I see, and on which device can u make this? can you do that on the corvette refinery? or do i need to learn a recipe from somewhere?

[remote thunder]

yep, corvette refiner works

just put the materials in

[tranquil spruce]

Yes corvette has the big refiner, or use the MK2 personal refiner which has 2 inputs

[vast crane]

"1) buy 2 c-class positron/infra/cyclo ship upgrade module, install and dismantle for 250 cadmium"
Is it 2 of any combination, 2 C rank of any of the listed upgrades?

[remote thunder]

yeah, any of those will drop cad+loom

just get ones you can get, remember that save+reload restocks module shops too if needed

[tranquil spruce]

yes you need to put these 2 in the refiner at same time, so both are in before you press the go button

[vast crane]

Im going, just got the cadmium and looms, thanks again guys

[tranquil spruce]

You have the living glass?

[vast crane]

i got bps for living glass, and all the drives that i was missing, cad, em and ind

[tranquil spruce]

sorry whats bps?

[vast crane]

blueprints

Im flying towards a frozen crystal planet right now

[tranquil spruce]

OK, do you have the materials as you might also need the 200 Frost Crystals next to the 400 Gamma root and 50 Faecum you can check if you have all the materials

[remote thunder]

can just refine silicate powder for glass too

[tranquil spruce]

Frost crystal you can also make from 2 Dioxite and 1 Oxygen, no need to fly

[vast crane]

I was about to ask that, i remember doing it in some other save

[tranquil spruce]

Loads of options 🙂

[vast crane]

sweet extreme weather conditions, im just on a rollercoaster right now

free ticket as i was walking over the surface

lol first time on afrozen planet with giant whirlwinds and electric storms

[tranquil spruce]

Have Fun

[vast crane]

God bless this mold farm someone created

[tranquil spruce]

on the frozen planet?

[wraith junco]

U dont need much nanites for this exp anyway. Mostly u need cargo space for all the bones.

[vast crane]

Yea

[vast crane]

yea but since i fkd up, i was at 200 or so and i still need the gauntlet to get this plants

and this emeril system has no spacestation now, or i cant see its icon

In any case it was a fun interaction with the guys here, i learned a few tricks

[remote thunder]

systems with no race icon on galaxy map wont have a space station. personally when i need nanites in expedition, i either look at possible nanite rewards from milestones i can do atm, or rely on zoology extra nanite bonus rewards (see image)

[vast crane]

I have scanned a few things over the course of this save, can i do that without being in the plant or even the system i scanned that?

[remote thunder]

if the bonus is available for any given planet, then you'll be able to claim it from anywhere you can pause, yes

[vast crane]

Im just entering nexus station, you just reminded me there is the 2 guys to turn in stuff for nanites, like scanned stuff

[pearl marten]

Did the titan expedition end?

I completed it in first day (i felt like a pro) but i cant do next expedition yet

[remote thunder]

yep, relics is on. have you made sure game is fully updated? what do you see when you try to make a new save?

[vast crane]

I made it guys

It was basically en extra mission lol

Thanks @remote thunder and @tranquil spruce , it was fun, the game does really gives u plenty options

I even made faecium with carbon and dihydrogen

[tranquil spruce]

@vast crane Well done, yeah as soon as i make a base i put out the Oxygen and Atmosphere harvester as you can use that to make many products, or make more of many items

[pearl marten]

I cant play nms

I literally cant

I have no way of

Unless i get a charger for pc

[tranquil spruce]

PC needs Power Supply, Laptops needs charger, what you miss then? and what Voltage and Amp?

[daring briar]

If I buy regualr starships in the expedition do they get converted to nanites or units at the end when I end expedtion ?

[fleet hearth]

Nanites - https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1gdk2xd/additional_rewards_from_expeditions/

[daring briar]

ty and looks like the answer is yes .. I am capped out on units in my primary game so nanites are of more value to me at this point

[fleet hearth]

I'm curious, what is the cap on units?

[rose ridge]

...

[tender tusk]

4billion in game

[fleet hearth]

Ah I’m only halfway there

[tender tusk]

it's a hard integer limit

[blazing fossil]

4.2billion, unsigned 32-bit integer limit

[remote thunder]

same cap for nanies and qs

[fleet hearth]

You mean 11111111111111111111111111111111

[blazing fossil]

What?

[fleet hearth]

32 1s 🙂

[blazing fossil]

Oh it’s binary

[remote thunder]

(hehe)

[tender tusk]

For the Phase 4 Milestone Bone Appetit it's still bugged and Making Bone broth for Cronus didn't count for me; You still need to make Bone Broth for the Hearty Stock milestone but for the Bone Appetit milestone you want to get a extra bone fossil to to turn into softened marrow to give to Cronus or just give him a fossilized bone.

[remote thunder]

yeah, this was a thing in the original exp18 run as well

[latent owl]

yea i just fed them a random dug up bone and they were disgusted but it counted for the exp for me

[remote thunder]

cronus ramsay

[latent owl]

(bites into dirt-covered skull) its raw!!!!

[daring briar]

Yeah and I am there .. been there since last exp

[daring briar]

Doesnt matter what the class of the frigates or starships are in regards to nanites obtained when ending expedition ?

[tender tusk]

no i don't think it does

also Multi tools don't count i think but i'll have to check again this expedition after i hunt for some for abandoned mode

[daring briar]

though that last exp I cashed out with 150K nanites .. but the screen tallies so darn fast its hard to see what you are getting for what lol

yeah I wish there was a way to sell those .. multitools .. the one I use main save runs about 225 - 285 on the mining laser ..

[hexed ember]

Has relics dropped for Xbox yet?

[daring briar]

why cant I salvage / break into separate parts ships I buy a the station ?

[zealous tree]

i think i could, at least ship i bought on pirate station, but perhaps u need time or re enter station?

[tender tusk]

xbox looks to be at 6.18 update which is the most recent i would check at the terminal in the anomaly

[daring briar]

I'll try that and maybe even log out and back in to see

[tender tusk]

You can only break apart to pieces for custom ships on Fighter, Solar Hauler, and Explorer type ships

salvage you can do to most ships except corvettes

[versed mountain]

i just finished the expedition but i cannot transfer the companion egg, how can i keep it? 😩

[tender tusk]

Before you hit end expedition go back to primary save and check the Quicksilver vendor if it's claimable there but DO NOT REDEEM it until you're done .

Any eggs even from companions you acquire on expedition are not transferable

[versed mountain]

it says previously collected but i haven't finished the expedition nor claimed it. i did hatch the egg tho

[tender tusk]

Usually it's claimable from the QS npc once you've finished the expedition and gone back to your primary save; this is how it worked for me on expedition 19 ; there is no way i know of to get it from the expedition sub save to your main save and i'm not sure if save editing could do it

You can finish and report it as a bug to HG if you can't claim it post expedition

[versed mountain]

all good. i finished the expedition and i could claim it from the quicksilver companion

😄

[tender tusk]

good to hear 👍

[heady pilot]

That's not a unique pet by the way...it's the only bone creature in the game and you'll often find it in the wild in purple systems. And I mean exact copies of it. I don't know why Hello Games thought this would be a good expedition reward...it's not rare or hard to find.

[tidal sleet]

Hey everyone in No Man's Sky, quick question: In the same Expedition, can players see each other in the world like you see teammates in the Anomaly? Or is it just separate instances? Also, if an Expedition has only 10 days left, will I be locked out from completing it once the time runs out? Thanks!"

[heady pilot]

If multiplayer is on in your game you should turn it off immediately...especially during expeditions it only causes problems.

[remote thunder]

Also, if an Expedition has only 10 days left, will I be locked out from completing it once the time runs out?
yeah, when timer runs out wont be able to keep running it (unless you're on pc, in which case there'd be another option, unofficially running expeditions offline)

[tidal sleet]

@heady pilot
Y multiplayer of
Cnt understand reason?

[heady pilot]

It creates a lot of problems in general...probably too many to count. Resources or items or things you should be able to get or interact with will be missing or unresponsive because another player got them, lag and crashes, if PvP is on sometimes there are griefers waiting by rendezvous points waiting to kill players and steal their inventory, and a lot more. Most of the bugs in the game are related to multiplayer and it's exponentially worse in very populated areas like rendezvous points.

[tender tusk]

I remember when it was causing problems with the breach expedition and we pretty much told people on a hourly basis to turn multiplayer off

[tidal sleet]

Hey, can you tell me why I ain't seein' nobody in the Anomaly right now? Like, just yesterday at this time, there were tons of players all hangin' out there. I really wanna explore the world with 'em since I'm new and wanna check out some bases

[tender tusk]

If you have multiplayer off then that would be one reason; could be people are still at work.

You can visit player bases if they're featured in the teleporter regardless though.

if you looking for people to play with you can also ask people in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[lavish stream]

how do i get a hermetic seal to make a nutrient processor?

[heady pilot]

Refine 60 carbon into 30 condensed carbon and craft the hermetic seal in a free inventory slot in your suit.

[tidal sleet]

@tender tusk
How to save this hashtag or Chanel that u give to me on my discord page or home or profile

[blazing fossil]

It’s a channel in this server, under the category ”No Man’s Sky Groups”

AFAIK you can’t save links to channels like that

So you’d just have to remember where it is

[lavish stream]

I absolutely love how people build bases and put markers and whatnot for others to see. Really helps with water planets

[tidal sleet]

This program is simple and universal, but there are many basic options that I can't find here...

I can save notification
From channel ya
So I can find it easily

[fleet hearth]

Came across one earlier today called Larval Cores for the very afraid and it was literally a walkway built around a whispering egg base lol

[lavish stream]

Absolute legend that base maker

[fleet hearth]

those things used to scare the bejeebus out of me, now I'm just like let's dance boys

Now I want a meme of Biological Horrors line dancing

[wanton frigate]

Some genius/arsehole (delete per your experience) built a base on the gas giant half way to Rendezvous 1 that's floating in the air, no stairs, but you can get into it if you get picked up by a tornado heading the right way and can time your jump just right. Which I couldn't 🙂

[queen oriole]

Guyss, what are the cords to the dig 4 spot? Ive lost it

< 3

[remote thunder]

remember that you can also double check your teleporter list, might be that "dig site 4" is under one of the stations name

[weak geode]

in this rerun expedition has anyone found the 5 missing bones or is still bug?

[tender tusk]

I found some thing that resembles the letter b but it's very obscure and i'm not sure how i can make it more vague

[remote thunder]

nah, 5 missing bones are still unavailable, not in the drop tables anywhere

[weak geode]

damm i been doing all i can math and quantum and still they dont pop lol it may still be bug then

[remote thunder]

we're unsure if bug, or if hg plans on releasing them later on in some other way, who knows. only way to get them atm is through things like save editing or modding

[livid hornet]

will I be able to escape into my corvette to take down the rock golem things using the ship's guns?

[mystic onyx]

Sooooo what do I do if accidentally swapped exotools before I removed the terrain manipulator right at the beginning?

[weak geode]

men that bad lol guess we need to email hello games to make it available in missions in nexuses

[remote thunder]

hmm probably, though you probably wont have much trouble taking them down on foot

[remote thunder]

did you actually swap, instead of add to collection? have you tried clicking on a free tech slot, see if it lets you install terrain manip again? did you start from existing save or new save?

[mystic onyx]

I can rebuild it! Didn't think of that, thank you!

[livid hornet]

You have no idea just how bad I am at ground combat

[remote thunder]

hmm.. then suggestion, get paralysis mortar from anomaly/mt research npc. it's a stun grenade secondary weapon: shoot it, enemy gets frozen, blast it with primary e.g. neutron cannon or something (several milestones reward prepackaged weapon techs iirc)

[livid hornet]

I'm using my copied MT, which has the paralysis mortar/neutron cannon combination

I still suck 😮

I can't aim while panicking

[remote thunder]

take a deep breath. paralysis mortar can be spammed if needed, it has an aoe as well, you dont necessarily have to hit them 100%. but yeah, try ship blasting them with the ship

[livid hornet]

I also tend to forget which buttons do what when I'm panicking

Like I know the paralysis mortar button is on L1, but I forget which button is L1

[remote thunder]

just go ship ballistic on them, or build a shack so you can stay out of reach from them maybe

[gleaming musk]

so for the new expedition, we get a companion egg, but it doesn't let me extract it out. Do I need to open it inside the expedition?
PS. I have never used companion eggs before, so no idea how they work

[tidal sleet]

I've been playing online for two days and received several gifts from Steam, all of them posters. How can I use them?

[remote thunder]

no, you'll just claim it from the quicksilver shop in your other saves

[remote thunder]

sounds like that's a steam profile thing

nevermind

went right into my inventory

so weird lol

[livid hornet]

Ok, here's hoping I get a nice ship in the expedition

I'm personally hoping for a shuttle

[undone mortar]

Is anyone having problems with snapshot in time? I can't get the task done and I have multiple screenshots with multiple creatures

[livid hornet]

Maybe you're using the wrong screenshot function?

[strong fox]

well this expedition is easy got done in 4 hrs + just doing last milestone now and im all finish

[undone mortar]

Im in ps5, I don't see any other options 😩

[strong fox]

all u have to do is psn screenshot while in photo mode

for me i hold button to screenshot in photo mode on ps5 nms easy got it done so u know this how u do it

[undone mortar]

Yes I've done that but it doesn't count it

[strong fox]

K then do this while in photo mode on ps5 its effective always work so this ive always been doing so for those on ps5 hope this help u out quicksnap shot dnt work this way does help get ur milestone get done

remember this way does count as screenshot

[dull kestrel]

Are there tides in the game now?

[red raptor]

anyone else having an issue with the bone broth quest?

he just takes the bone broth and I get no progress

[tender tusk]

Feed Cronus a fossilized bone or if you have softened marrow on you use that; it's still bugged from last time this was run

[red raptor]

ahhhh weird bug

but thanks

do I need the high value trade goods for anything or can I sell them

[tender tusk]

if they're the white ones sell them if you need the space or untis

[red raptor]

they're like yellow

[tender tusk]

if it says just trading on it just sell those

[red raptor]

sweet I was running low on storage

[humble vapor]

ok, so i am not the only one tripping over Cronus

i been feeding him
Bone milk, Bones, Bone butter, even Bone stew

nothing work until he decide to want to eat a 3000+ year old bones

this kinda reminded me of Hunter x Hunter cooking early on

[charred blaze]

Put any fossil into the nutrient processor, get a soft bone, feed him that. (He won't like it, but you will get the achievement)

[heady pilot]

Generally he only pays up for more complex foods and even then there is an element of chance...he won't be impressed every time. But I generally find it really simple to put together something like like 10 fungal tarts which are just pie cases plus non-toxic mushrooms...very simple to make. This is how I used to grind nanites before the runaway mould farms were a thing.

The base components for fungal tarts before any processing are 1 Fungal Mold, 1 Frost Crystal, and 1 Milk...you literally cannot go simpler than that for a complex recipe.

Stop by a cold planet and by a toxic planet, harvest one of the biome flowers from each and find some animals that give milk when fed and get like 10 or 15 milk and quickly assemble 10 or 15 fungal tarts and give them to Cronus...nothing hard about any of that.

[surreal raven]

just to check, its still redux expeditions?

[alpine saffron]

Yeah, there's still like three left

[surreal raven]

phew

[alpine saffron]

If you check the pins, it'll show you the schedule, we're on Relics until the 16th

[humble vapor]

seem like the early day of grinding nanites is pain

Where can i find memory stone in the expedition?

[supple panther]

Hey, I've been on it for about 5 minutes and I'm starting to think it won't work... You get fecium from creatures that you feed right ?

[remote thunder]

yeah, just throw a pellet on the ground to feed a bunch with a single pellet, then just wait, idling, dont do anything - if there arent any predators around, they should poop in a bit. regular looking animals, mind you.

[supple panther]

eeh ok, there are some predators around, might be that, thanks !

[remote thunder]

yeah, they wont poop if they're scrambling to get away from predators

[supple panther]

makes sense

[final wave]

Yep, I recall it being a part of the Worlds Part 2 update

[dull kestrel]

Like, significant tides? Are there beaches?

[final wave]

It be significant depending on the weather I believe, like during storms, I'm not sure on the beaches part though if u mean sandy-like terrain on the shorelines

[dull kestrel]

Sandy shores that have significant low tides and high tides

[still osprey]

in real life, yes. In NMS there are storms and waves but the water level doesn't go up or down overall. Sandy texture just happens at the edge of bodies of water sometimes.

funniest thing in real life, I grew up on Cape Cod and later we moved to Ohio and we put our tide clock up on the wall and people from Ohio who had never lived by the ocean would look at it and the questions were quite funny

Cause I went to into space to shoot asteroids

Anyone got coords or can I trigger another way?

[tender tusk]

the coords are pinned in this channel #nms-expedition message

[shadow path]

Those are for the digs not the npc who invites to guild? Or am I missing something

[tender tusk]

The dig npcs are all that matter since you go there and trigger those and are one in the same as the guild; if a npc is in a building unrelated to the milestones / expedition then the only thing that can help you is if you're doing a mission for them that registers in the Log is complete that mission while having it highlighted in the log and that should direct you back to them.

if it's a dialog quest where you need to interact with them a certain way then and reload to fix something then that won't be in a log to find them

[hoary shadow]

how does this even happen? were they assembling the wrong type of skele? (like using the avian one when they are supposed to use quadruped) i experienced like no bugs on the exped

[cinder fulcrum]

yep lol

also i completed everything in 3h and i can say its worst expo i ever played... its like repeating same stuff over and over again

[hoary shadow]

Five. Hundred. Fossils.

[tranquil spruce]

Running out of space, what can i sell, those 3 vigilant stone eyes?

and that prime eval gastro... poof????

[tender tusk]

sell whatever you don't need to make space it also may be worth it to get a extra sentinel ship or any ship just to use as extra storage

[wraith junco]

Sentinels for this exp are peak. High storage . For free.

[tranquil spruce]

O, never got to do that, sorry, still newbee!

[tender tusk]

this is what i use for storage on this expedition

[humble star]

while ill admit the whole set is cool as hell i mainly doing it for the helmet LOL it looks like a mandalorian helmet. 🙂 i just finished the first milestone

[still osprey]

area around the 2nd dig site has weird area glows. Dunno what it means

[remote thunder]

can you post a screenshot for us to see what you see?

[still osprey]

I've run through the areas, they aren't radioactive clouds or anything

[remote thunder]

that's just the dig site's uhm lights that seem to be a little ... too much, or not quite at the right spot? nothing to worry about i dont thing

also, are you on pc?

[still osprey]

yeah just mentioned it because it was odd 🙂

yes pc

it's a spooky camp anyways, it has ground fog all around it like someone spilled the dry ice

[remote thunder]

are you by any chance not running any antialiasing? are you grabbing that screenshot with photo mode's button? instead, try entering photo mode, then line up the shot, then hide the photo mode ui, then take the screenshot with an external tool, like if you're on steam, steam overlay screenshot tool

[still osprey]

I've already left the system. It was just trivia

[remote thunder]

not specifically about that, but the quality of your screenshot. if you are using antialias (in graphics settings), and you're not running some low resolution, consider re-reading my post above

there's a bit of jagged edges it seems to me

[tender tusk]

this is what it looks like for me but yesterday the ground fog effect kind of moved around when approaching dig sites

[remote thunder]

yeah, it's just the lights

[tender tusk]

stuff isn't rendering right as i used walked to a traders ship that landed near the same camp and trees popped in

[still osprey]

I think I figured out the odd glowing areas. There was somewhere a huge pit was dug to get that 7200 cubit meters dug milestone and then they tried to repair it, but the area under the repair is still sort of hollow and it glows through the ground

I tried to fill up a pit like that and apparently it was too big a void to repair so it glowed

[queen viper]

HELLO WHERE I c an find ground animals ?

[still osprey]

on the ground

[queen viper]

not working\

to take photo of them

!help

[unkempt kraken]

@queen viper Please run this in #nms-commands or #bot-spam.

[still osprey]

I ran up to a group of 3 and took a picture and it was done

[queen viper]

what animal ?

on what planet ?

[still osprey]

be sure you are using the ingame camera not a steam overlay or screenshot

[queen viper]

normal animals dont work

im suing photo mode

in game

[still osprey]

hit x and use the camera icon and photo some animals

[queen viper]

is there a pin with tips on this expedition?

cant find it

[still osprey]

I mean, maybe be sure it's not one of those open cave biomes on the surface and the creatures are not actually undergrounders

[remote thunder]

i have one, but it's not quite yet updated for the redux

what do you need to know?

ah, ground animals

[still osprey]

picture of animals is not working for them

[queen viper]

what animals

i need to photographs

[remote thunder]

steam, gamepass or gog?

[still osprey]

I did it on the starter world. I don't think it matters where

[remote thunder]

basically, any planet with ground fauna, cows, dogs, etc

3 of them on the same pic

do you have multiplayer enabled? tried disabling it?

[still osprey]

be sure it's not swimming or flying

[queen viper]

wg

wh at is ground faina?

can u explain

normal animal s?

[still osprey]

fauna is animal. Flora is plants

[queen viper]

walking ?

G R O U N D

eh nevermind 😄

ill try to take photos

[still osprey]

it might need to be 3 in the same pic. I took 2 shots, a pic of 1 and a pic of 3, and the 2nd one triggered the milestone

try finding a crowd

[mystic bridge]

Huh.. unexpected.. current redux expedition passes space I visited before... XD

[remote thunder]

really? that's cool hehe

some sense of nostalgia i imagine

[opaque smelt]

So how is this new expedition, has it any good?

[still osprey]

wow, 55 fossils is a lot. especially when the patches are 700u apart, and contain sometimes just one bone

I'm at 51/55 and it feels like ages

at least the weather isn't horrible

[humble star]

So I'm doing the written in stone milestone and it's saying to scan planets in the system I'm In. It assures me there is a planet In the system that has the stones I'm supposed to get I've scanned every planet and nothing. So what's going on is the milestone lying to me

[humble star]

Never mind I finished the expedition....it was still giving me the same bug in another system so I tried landing on every planet in the system then it told me the stones were there.... stupid bug. Lol anyway finished the expedition in one day. Kinda unreal

[still osprey]

yeah it is said these expeditions are shortened for the redux, makes me wonder what they were like at first.

[humble star]

well i imagine there the same as the old one its just it seems shorter cause so many updates have been made since then? so everything seems easier

[round vector]

I think I saw what the original ones for the other two reduxes looked like, and most of the requirements were lowered and a few steps were removed. I imagine the same happened for this one.

[unique oracle]

For Written in Stone, how am I supposed to know which planets are relic worlds and have memory stones?

[unique oracle]

Update: It was a bug. I just had to land on every single planet in the system until the the mission log said I was there.

[sonic estuary]

idk if the guy is around but, this guy just saved me at least 30 minutes with his fishing platform on an aquatic planet, i m in expedition and i dont have aquatic landing technology yet, i gotta do fishing quest, this guy is a legend, thank you if u r seeing this, community appreciates you

[jaunty heron]

Are they done with the re-runs of expeditions till a new one officially comes out?

[tender tusk]

Current redux is relics and then there is corvette and breach; who knows what HG has in store for 2026

[tranquil spruce]

Q: If i buy Salvaged Structures in the Anomoly, will they transfer to my existing save if I end the expedition [started at Anomoly]

[remote thunder]

nope, best to bring the salvaged data back

[tranquil spruce]

OK, thank you very much...

[remote thunder]

no problem, always feel free to ask. yeah, blueprints like that aren't unlocked account wide, and for most intents and purposes, an expedition char started from existing char still counts as a diff char

[tranquil spruce]

Ic, i was not just sure, still learning a lot... 🙂

[queen viper]

Hello yesterday I finished my expedition , while being on expedcition I could use new MT given by expedition. After I finished it and go back to main save I grab it from nexus terminal and now I cant get it out Im using bind key and not working aswell as manual picking mt not working for it aswell is it known bug ?

it appears for like 0.10 second and it dissapear

acuatal when i pick balisk MT and click LMB then its grabbing my fishing rig....

other bind for other MT working normal

nevermind it started working

idk what was that

[fervent umbra]

Does selling your fossil displays count towards the Rags and Bones milestone or does that only count selling it the individual fossils?

[humble star]

It's what I had to do....super annoying

[cyan canyon]

hi, one question: do I accept the basilisk staff while I'm in the expedition (started from the anomaly) or when I ended the expedition?

[teal jungle]

Both.

You can claim it in expedition and use it, and also from the rewards kiosk when you return to main save

[cyan canyon]

cool, thanks

[humble star]

Dumb Question....if I accept the new basilisk staff will I perma lose the other staff I have

[cyan canyon]

you might archive the one you're using

[remote thunder]

we can have up to 6 active tools - if you're not at 6 yet, it'll just let you add basilisk to your collection. remember that we can archive multitools, up to 18, using the weapons rack (base part)

[humble star]

Ok what I'll do is I'll accept the staff and see what happens to the other one

[remote thunder]

it'll just be accessible via on foot quick menu/utilities/change mt

[fervent umbra]

For anyone wondering, selling your fossil displays does count towards the Rags and Bones milestone

[prisma tundra]

Yes, and it’s usually worth more than the bones individually, as the individual bones are typically 72k units, and fossil displays of 5 bones can be upwards of 600k units, tho typically around 500k

[humble star]

Yeah I found that out randomly 😂

[mystic bridge]

I think, that's the most income I ever did in 1 day of expedition XD

[mystic bridge]

I t meant to be sellingthese. You assemble 6 of them plus have some parts

Does overwriting ship remove cargo?

[woven sparrow]

Someone dropped a base near the first expedition waypoint and my thing spawned under it. Should I report it or is there a way to get my thing to respawn?

[mystic bridge]

yourthing/

?

[woven sparrow]

My Expedition 1-4 mission bone spawn.

[mystic bridge]

they are everywhere? though if they drpped base right on camp.. it's problematic to build display

[woven sparrow]

Not that I can tell. It just spawns some near you when you complete the last I think.

[mystic bridge]

camp? It's a fixed point, same spot for a lot of people

[woven sparrow]

Some bones.

When you have EP1M4 active it'll spawn bones near you so you can collect them. Then when you dig the bones, it'll give you a new set nearby.

[mystic bridge]

Never did that I collected bose which are part of planet <.<

[woven sparrow]

So you didn't get the very common spawns that were near the camp?

That the game gives you for free when you're doing the mission?

[mystic bridge]

There is a lwasy a generatedspawn under camp. But it's not necesarry a multibone one. I only got multibone at RP5

These camps exists outside of expedition 9and weekend mission now is als bones)

[woven sparrow]

Analysis mode gives you the regular spawns. Target sweep mode gives you the custom spawns.

Or I guess they just show you regular ones and someone just based over the last nearby one to the camp. W/e.

[lavish stream]

if you've already done an expedition that will be in a redux, is there a point to redoing it aside from reexperiencing it?

[tranquil spruce]

I finished the Relic exp, only thing I have not been able to transfer back to my save is the companion egg, how would i deal with this?

[wanton frigate]

Claim the egg from the anomaly quicksilver vendor. You can never send eggs back

[wanton frigate]

Look at the milestone rewards. If there's a lot of Suit, Tool and/or Ship slots, you can cancel claiming them in the expo and send them back. It's a bonanza. It's also a great source of Quicksilver - you can do the weekend mission in the expedition and then again when you leave - and use it to clone ships like the Vulture with unique parts you can scrap

[tranquil spruce]

O, didn't know that, I thought i need to hatch it, but didn't want to do anything wrong, looks like a nice animal 🙂

@wanton frigate I have claimed everything in the exp. moved everything over i wanted to keep, but was not able to get the egg over, so end exp. then claim egg from the QS?

[tranquil spruce]

Do you claim the Egg from the QS before ending the expedition or after?

[wanton frigate]

After. You can claim it once per save I think.

[wraith junco]

Claim reward, but redeem it on main save. Cant bring egg to main save from exp save.

[prisma tundra]

is there anything besides the basics from the pins that I should bring that's specific to relics? I don't really remember needing anything specifically but it's been a while since I did this one

[tender tusk]

If you're going to do any MT or Ship hunting bring things to refine for nanites even though players have put up curious deposit farms

outside of that you don't need much for this Expedition i feel

[hushed cedar]

Does anyone know if there's servers for people to take me to certain worlds, im pretty new to nms

[prisma tundra]

oh yes, I have a whole stack of mould to refine, and some upgrades I can sell!

[prisma tundra]

fair enough

[tender tusk]

this isn't the channel for that but you can ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades or the main channel #no-mans-sky

[hushed cedar]

Really appreciate the help thanks

[winter cosmos]

someone told me that the expedition is bugged and doesn't transfer bases over to your main save- is that true?
I have a few bases that transferred from Ex 17 but I feel like I'm missing some bases from other expeditions. I'm afraid to end this current one cuz I have a few nice bases I put time into

[misty plinth]

If the bases are bugged (I have yet to build one for Relics) I don't know that there is anything you can do to safeguard them.

If it were me I would take in game photos with glyphs and then screenshot visor data of the base location. With that information saved you could at least return to where the bases were and rebuild.

Personally - in the past - I've built minimal expedition bases and have never had one not show up after the expedition is done.

[winter cosmos]

and I'm only referring to uploaded bases. Thanks, I thought of glyphs too.
I think from what I'm reading it was a past known issue that's relatively resolved, and mostly related to complex save files/bases or multiplayer conflicts, overlapping w/ other bases. I've already seen one lake w/ 2 overlapped bases here

[misty plinth]

Do any of your bases overlap another base?

If not then I would not be too concerned with losing them.

If they load up now with multiplayer enabled and you have no issues then I would think your bases are safe.

[woven sparrow]

I'm enjoying my favourite part of the expedition: Man in Hole.

[winter cosmos]

well no, but like I said I feel like I've lost a few already. I'm going to go check my main save now to see, but I feel like I lost my bases from Ex-2 redux

I'm glad they're redoing Breach. That was such a short run

[tender tusk]

If you don't have end game In stellar multitudes quest line done there is a chance that if you build a base in a purple star system that it won't show up until that is done and if you do and it's not showing up post expedition it could be a bug that needs to be reported

[winter cosmos]

that's a good point, as many of these have been purple systems the last few expeditions. I'll test it out, thanks

[wanton delta]

What should I do with these excess fossils initially?

They're taking up too much space

[winter cosmos]

you can sell them to complete one of the objectives, but I built storage units to put them in. Then when I built my fossil displays I would take them out for selection

[tender tusk]

you can also get a extra ship, put them in that, and summon it when you need it

[hollow horizon]

Someone put a base right where the signal booster marked my digging spot

So now I cannot get a second signal boost, and I cannot dig there

Thanks, whoever-this-is

[open dagger]

Report it using their base computer and it will vaporize in your save - dig away - and reclaim youir booster

[hollow horizon]

You're a lifesaver!

[woven sparrow]

Should be possible to make it disappear without reporting it imo.

[open dagger]

It is, turn off multiplayer.

[woven sparrow]

I'd swear I encounter them with multiplayer disabled but if they're not then that's very nice.

[tender tusk]

no you can still have bases overlap even with multiplayer off; it's best to just report it and get it removed if it's blocking a resource etc

[wanton delta]

I missed out on 5 inventory slots as an expedition reward, by right clicking during the delivery. I was flying my starship at the time. Is there a way to get them back?

NVM the 5 expansion units were in my starship inventory 🙂

[pulsar panther]

Which world is relic in the last system?

[winter cosmos]

Baghu

[winter cosmos]

you can also send these to your main save later if you decline the upgrade

[remote thunder]

see image, memory stone

[pulsar panther]

I looked at both pictures not sure hwo they answer my question

[remote thunder]

planet name lower left, confirms memory stone presence; right image shows what to look for using analysis visor if needed

[pulsar panther]

Thanks!

I know the stones saw them before a few times

[winter cosmos]

Baghu is the relic world

[pulsar panther]

What is the use of hexite?

[remote thunder]

when not in the starbirth quest, it can be refined and used at the egg sequencer

[pulsar panther]

What is a star birth quest

[remote thunder]

starbirth is the living ship quest. dont bother holding that because of this though, the quest itself will provide a location to get the needed hexite from

[pulsar panther]

It looks like they ran out of prizes and gave us trade good at the end of the expedition lol

[remote thunder]

😄

[pulsar panther]

I'll buy a few frigates and go back to the main save

Looks like I am the last one doing this because I skipped many days xD

Where are those random freighters when I need them xD

[pulsar panther]

any sure way to trigger randok freighters to buy their frigates?

[remote thunder]

try to land on the space station, then save+reload, wait a minute, fly out, look for the purple rectangles on ship mini radar (cockpit view)

<:info:850810445577453658> Expedition 18 (Redux): Milestone Tips

Keep multiplayer disabled in options/network settings to avoid bugs with milestones.

Phase 1

• Exhibition Admission: Complete and claim Phase 1 Milestone 1, then build and interact with Signal Booster, pick the first dialog option to use a surge battery. Dig up 3 ancient keys, then interact with large artifact crate buried in the middle of the ruin.

Phase 2

• Bytesized: Use Analysis Visor to locate Buried Cache icons on a planet.

Phase 3:

• Snapshot in Time: To easily get 3 ground creatures on the screenshot, throw a creature pellet on the ground fairly close to a group of animals, they'll get attracted to it, then just wait for them to idle next to you. Note that consoles can be picky with the way the game registers screenshots taken. [Check this link for more info.](#nms-expedition message)
  -# Tip: to throw a pellet on the ground, use on foot quick menu/Creatures/Creature Pellet.

Phase 4

• Deeper Underground: To speed this one up, dig a decent hole with Terrain Manipulator, then aim inside and switch to Flatten Mode, then start deleting terrain.
• Hearty Stock: Cook Softned Marrow+Softned Marrow, or Softned Marrow+any meat.
• Bone Appétit: If Bone Broth doesn't complete milestone, give Cronus something else that you can. Some players were able to complete milestone with giving him bones or Softned Marrow.
  -# Note: If your food item doesn't appear on Cronus interaction dialog, see this image .

Phase 5

• Nose in the Dirt: Throw a creature pellet on the ground fairly close to a group of animals, they'll get attracted to it, then just wait for them to idle next to you, and they'll eventually poop. There should be no predators around, and you shouldn't be mining/shooting things.
  -# Tip: Use on foot quick menu/Creatures/Creature Pellet to throw one on the ground.
• Written in Stone: Memory Stones can be found using Analysis Visor on Ruin worlds. For example, Rendezvous 3 and Rendezvous 5 systems both have a planet suitable for this milestone, Thurc X20 and Baghu respectively.
• Stone Ghosts: To spawn a guardian, interact with Vigilant Stones found on Ancient Bones planets. Note that Sentinels cannot be shutdown on the planet.

This post will be updated if needed as expedition progresses.

[pulsar panther]

I won't repeat breach when it comes back

[remote thunder]

yeah, only thing i can think about since you're also on pc is that ods was down or something

i see a bones irradiated, a bones frozen but not moon, but i dont see a bones scorched i see a bones dead

[wanton frigate]

Whoop! After building a small cathedral underground, and eventually finding ruins in the Rdv5 system it's all done. Just need to take my trusty corvette the Rapscallion Eclipse for one last fond jaunt, round the back of the barn so I can shoot it in the head and strip it for parts. Thanks for the help as ever #nms-expedition !

[remote thunder]

yeah i dont see a moon in that system at all

[remote thunder]

congratulations on the finish! 🙂

[wanton frigate]

I have lufgani runan too, and no Uelinf Icop. Ucilip is indeed the rdv 4 planet I think cause I built a base there. Will reconnect to ODS and see if it changes 😊

[remote thunder]

that's quite interesting, thanks

you might need to warp out and back in for example

[tender tusk]

is there a status page for NMS ODS; currently having issues going to a base on expedition

[pulsar panther]

Finally S class

[wraith junco]

Im on ps4.

[remote thunder]

oh

sorry for some reason thought you were on pc now

[remote thunder]

there's this https://status.nmscd.com, but is the base refusing to download?

[tender tusk]

yeah it's not downloading in pirate system; i'm currently on the planet it's on hunting for it and not seeign a base marker

[austere wave]

currently in the Humbus-Beul lll system and says itheres a relic world here but been on all the planets/moons and not getting any indication to which planet or moon is the relic world?

[remote thunder]

it's Baghu

[remote thunder]

discoveries menu, lower left, is the connection to ODS active?

[tender tusk]

yes

[remote thunder]

try to save in a system where there's no other bases+restart game completely, then warp back into that system and try again

[austere wave]

seems to be working now but thanks for the help

[tender tusk]

tried it twice and it's not working

[quaint root]

Help! I moved away from the second expedition location and now that I got my fossil ready to hand in, I can't find the place! What do I do?

Nvm

[tranquil spruce]

@quaint root Look for the icon in the air, it should be there if you have all 5 bones! [bottom right will show if you have all 5], it's not always clear to see, but make a 360 to look around to find it

[tender tusk]

ended up finding that base location but the base is not here; so no idea what happend with that and ODS

[remote thunder]

weird that it appears on the teleporter, right?

[tender tusk]

I'll check again but it just said downloading on the teleport

[remote thunder]

right, it was appearing on the teleporter, but not downloading

there could be some server issues

[tender tusk]

Yeah even though i just found the location it's still saying downloading on the station

[remote thunder]

if there's an issue, then it's not surprising that you go to location and the base isn't there - it's also failing to download, like the teleporter

and since this is your expedition character, there's no way it'd have used up all ~21k possible base parts, which would leave no room for other player bases to download

[fleet hearth]

There are some major outages right now, might be another cloud flare or Amazon issue

[tender tusk]

it must have been a outage; i just warped to a different system and was able to find that base in the teleport list and go to the actual base; the cords of the harmonic camp i found were in a different area

[prisma tundra]

I just started the expedition and I find it weird that the milestones reward gek words when in vykeen systems, so wouldn't vykeen words make more sense to have as a reward?

[fleet hearth]

I think it’s because all the archeologists are Gek that you talk to

[versed gull]

also, the game throws you into a new universe for each expedition, some that are vastly different. Like being completely alone, or where all stations and life have been wiped out by alien invasions. Or all the space anomaly npc's are just depressed in that universe and dont want to do anything for you. xD

so you can use that as a lore friendly excuse.

[prisma tundra]

it's not really a new universe, just a different part of Euclid

[prisma tundra]

the first one that contacted in the ship was vykeen, hence why I asked lol

[tender tusk]

Technically it's a new save in a different part of eculid if starting from a maie save; if you do a new save each time it's essentially a new save in a different part of euclid.

The only part i'm not sure of is if the euclid galaxy is the same one you normally play since things change on planets between your main save and your expedition save even if starting from a new save

[celest flame]

This is the first time I've hunted fossils. How do I know when/if I've completed a set? I have visited like 4 different sites now, and still have yet to understand that part

[tranquil spruce]

In the bottom right the message comes up with in green 5/5, normally it would show what you have found, like 1 skull or one leg and so on.... when done it is 5/5

[celest flame]

I figured as much, but it still isn't showing that. So how do I tell what pieces I'm missing? Here's my collection so far: https://gyazo.com/b30e2af7c77e31d4fcd44156f4100309

[tranquil spruce]

It works like this, you dig the bones up, if you have found 5/5 you return to the dig place and you get your reward, did that happen?

[celest flame]

No, not yet at least

[tranquil spruce]

Well with that amount of bones you much have at least one dig done, what phase [dig] or you doing?

[celest flame]

I'm still in the first system. Do I have to travel to the first dig sight for it to count? I thought I could just travel to the planet in the first system that has anceint bones, and dig those up??

[tranquil spruce]

Yes, you go first to the dig, talk with the gek, get your reward for arriving, then go and hunt for the bones till you got 5, please do check the messages in the bottom right to see if you have it, then return to the dig and same applies to all other digs in the expedition...

So make sure the expedition marker is selected!

Keep the bones as you need to sell many of them later to get another reward in another phase, so nothing lost 🙂

[celest flame]

That's dumb lol. Spent all this time working for nothing lmao

[tranquil spruce]

Not for nothing, your experienced now 😉 as said you need to sell the lot later to get another reward, each bone is 75k and i think you need to sell for at least 2.5m if i remember correct

If I may suggest look at each job to do in the expedition tab, so you can prepare/anticipate on things to come

[tender tusk]

The assembled exhibits are worth more and worth selling at the end for that milestone or during if you need more inventory space

[celest flame]

I've done expeditions in the past, and have usually been able to complete the first phase before warping for the first time

[tranquil spruce]

Yeah i had to sell mine off as well to get the reward....

[celest flame]

I just spawned in my corvette to get more space lol

[tender tusk]

You still need to dig up 55 fossilized bones for the phase 5 milestone alone

[tranquil spruce]

I did the exp in the spaceship provided, it can be done.... but difficult

[celest flame]

Well, I've already gotten 23 of 55 lol

[tranquil spruce]

if that job showing the counter of 23/55? then all work is not lost, i think that is in phase 4 or 5

@tender tusk Not 55, it remembers how many you already have done, i had 29 of 55 when i did that phase

[tender tusk]

i mean yeah it's still going to count everything you've dug up before

[tranquil spruce]

Hence i said, no work is lost

[celest flame]

It's good to know though. Just frustrating on my end because I thought I was progressing, only to find out I wasn't. At least, not in the way I thought I was lol

[tranquil spruce]

You did progress, you can even do jobs in phase 3 whilst phase 1 is not done, no worries, sometimes you can get a lot of things done on one planet/moon, I did all flora, fauna and minerals on the starting planet and the Nose in the dirt and the group photo....and the 2600 soil job...

[celest flame]

Oh nice!! Yeah, I try to do things like that as well. I just got caught up in the fossils portion

[tranquil spruce]

right, enjoy and have a good hunt!

[signal sequoia]

I need help

[celest flame]

What's up

[tranquil spruce]

Help with what?

[blazing fossil]

With?

[quaint root]

Hello, I was wondering what happens when you take your main account into an expedition? What can you take with you, what do you lose, etc?

[tawny lodge]

You get to choose what to transfer, but you can't reach your transferred goods on the Anomaly until after you jump once

You have transfer slots at the Nexus that lets you select a limited amount of cargo and modules to bring, as well as options to duplicate your ship and multitool

You can transfer things back the same way

You're also able to move back and forth between the expedition and your main content with ease, allowing you to pick up where you left off each time you switch over

[pearl zodiac]

Hi! How do one find "Relic World"? my ship says there is one in the system but i don't see a planet w a "Relic World" tag

[blazing fossil]

There won't be a planet with that tag, but with a synonym of relic, it's a subbiome, so there can for example be a frozen relic, or a lush relic etc

[finite rover]

is the 2nd dig site far away from the 1st?

[pearl zodiac]

I see, Ty!

But how do i find the subbiome then? I'm told too scan the planets but i dont get eny cords

[blazing fossil]

It’s a sub biome that exists on an entire planet, it’s just not the ”primary” biome, like frozen or lush

[pearl zodiac]

Yea Im missing somthing. My log says to servey the planets from space, but i dont get eney more infro and if i land it says to go back to space

[blazing fossil]

Try landing on all planets in the system, eventually one will work, or just find one with a prefix that is synonymous with relic/ruined

[pearl zodiac]

Ait i found one! Ty!

Do you keep the ruin building parts when you go back to the old save?

[abstract bone]

If you started the expedition from an existing save via the terminal in the anomaly - yes

[remote thunder]

if you started from new save, you would - if you started from existing save no, because blueprint unlocked by a character dont "carry over" (unless they're phase or final exp rewards) to other characters under the same account. ( cc @abstract bone )

[quaint root]

Thank you!!

[fringe dawn]

Why can I suddenly not mine anymore? "Cannot alter terrain // no edit permission"

[remote thunder]

within range of another player's uploaded base - move away till you can, or try to report their base to make it despawn for you (on foot quick menu, scroll all the way right)

[fringe dawn]

Thank you!

[fringe dawn]

What's the quick menu? I can only properly report the base with a screenshot and all that at their base computer. I'm on steam deck, if that makes a difference. They're blocking my last dig site :(

[remote thunder]

quick menu that you use to recharge stuff or enter photo mode for example

[north crown]

I totaly forgot to check no mans sky. So i missed the expedition. It ends in a couple of days, so do you think i should still try?

[tranquil spruce]

@north crown yeah, i am a newbee and did this one in 1.5 day but i am retired....Go for IT!

[viscid forge]

Ist easy, 3-4 Hours 🥸

[fringe dawn]

How can I take modules with me? I read I can keep the aircraft and multitool, but what about exosuit modules? Can I keep the exosuit or should I keep the modules, are they transferable after the expedition?

[prisma tundra]

if you started from an existing save, you can use the expedition terminal when you're on your primary save to copy your ship & MT, other modules you want to bring over can be packages then placed in the tech slots of the terminal to transfer over

[fringe dawn]

Great, thank you!

[prisma tundra]

you're welcome!

[signal igloo]

IF you are into cheese- you can empty the terminis two or three times, but only partially worth it

i mean you dont need 4 stacks or quartzite

heh

[prisma tundra]

technically it's as many times as you want, I use it to be able to transfer back both important stuff and my core resources as well as more modules

[signal igloo]

yeah that many times and you are bringing salvaged tech... and meat... you won't have that many items that you need to transfer.. is the small point

but tech that it totally worth it

[prisma tundra]

it depends on the expedition I suppose, corvette and relics had me going back & fourth 5+ times due to corvette modules & bones, respectively

[signal igloo]

heh i sold all the bone after each stage to fill that 2.5m goal

i took a super rich save into the expedition. didn't make any difference... but I did take a broke apart ship. fus-wing-thrstr-reactor that was a boon. i had a radiantesque super fighter.

its SO much cheaper that upgrading the pillar

[signal igloo]

even titan striped it... paint job seems a little overkill but it's there so used it

[brittle elbow]

Wait, you can do that?

You don't need to interact with the base terminal itself?

[remote thunder]

yeah, dont need to

[signal igloo]

this was a big thing for this last run, i was able to dig where i needed to

i started using the moon opposite the dig site planet got my bone WAY faster and showed up to the dig with bone in hand, as it were

[brittle elbow]

Surprisingly I didn't run into base issues this expedition

Then again I think I did it fairly early on

Like, day 2/3 ish

[abstract bone]

That’s not true. I had no ruin blueprints unlocked and never visited planets with ruins before, now after expedition started from my only save I have three.

[signal igloo]

i think there is some carry over on the items you could get from the QS vendor. - if you used save and ran from Terminus you gain the items like having retrived them I suspect. have not looked deeper into it yet.

someone had mentions that something was tag "already redeemed" having used a save terminus combo

[prisma tundra]

I sell the exhibits instead

[signal igloo]

those too it helped a lot the bones were only likw 70k

[prisma tundra]

yeah, exhibits are more profitable

[remote thunder]

well, i dont know what happened there, but if that's true and can be confirmed by other players, that's a change, because ruin parts set isn't/weren't an account wide unlock - meaning that account wide unlocks are the only way to have blueprints being unlocked for multiple characters, and they're not rewarded as part of any of the phase rewards, which are account wide.

[tranquil spruce]

@remote thunder I will have a look later on when i go to check my fleets and will update you.

[remote thunder]

i dont mind testing this myself, i'm already thinking that i see another exp18 redux run in my next few hours of play (about done with my first run)

my creative save doesn't have them unlocked, starting from existing save i'll just blaze through it even faster

[tranquil spruce]

@abstract bone Do you have those blueprints now in every save?

[remote thunder]

that i'm almost 100% certain it's not, unless this change happened and wasnt retroactive, because i have them all on my main save, but on none of the others

[signal igloo]

it gets a little messy - if you think about it. i play along many saves and dont' worry too much about it if I don't have an item on this one I load that one

[remote thunder]

i'm not worried at all with not having them on all - i'm just after confirming whether there's an account wide/or perhaps just between exp char and primary char- unlock of these parts going on

[signal igloo]

my overall goal is to "have a good time all the time."

oh the unlocks, hm yeah i still think someone was looking to get an expediton items on the save they used for the terminus- and it had not shown up yet. but part of that was sketch i don't know what mode they were in - if just visiting the main save,,, etc.

[remote thunder]

no worries

[signal igloo]

||am I hiding this?||

ok

||i used the double emptying of the terminus like you explained - it's very good||

exploit secrets

so, now that corvettes are a thing, I am building classic ships much more... lol go figure that out...

so much cheaper than upgrading a ship I like, I take parts to the expedition, with an S class reactor. boom ista win

[remote thunder]

absolutely. and well, non-corvette ships are still cool, can do anything the game needs - corvettes just opened up some more possibilities

[signal igloo]

tho before this ends I want to run the relic with a corvette no landing

[abstract bone]

I have only one save 🙂

[signal igloo]

back in my day - we didn't have a terminus to run in a single save.

sonny

hehahlh

[fleet hearth]

Had to jet pack uphill to school in the snow, both ways

[signal igloo]

HEHE

[tranquil spruce]

@remote thunder Nope, nothing added like that in both my saves

[remote thunder]

i decided to prepare a little for this run lol, so i've been spending some time getting my "anomaly layout" together lol

thanks for checking it out

[tranquil spruce]

One save is my normal game, the other i use for the expeditions... and normal game of course

And I forgot to take out the atlandium drive before ending my exp 🙂 because i had already a ship from previous exp and 2 living ships the Wraith 🙂

I think i need to make a checklist at my age i forget things..lol

[remote thunder]

back to your existing save? well, could copy the ship once you're in primary, store atlantid drive, then scrap the ship if you dont want it

[tranquil spruce]

I checked my normal save, then went to the QS and claimed all from the exp version, but no blueprints added, i have none of those in both games

Yeah i swapped 3 times to find out how that works... then i was forgetting about the atlandium drive to package and move over as well...

But I love the game, a lot to learn... now I try to find out if storage can be expanded to more than 50 you know those 10 containers you get

So far my living frigates collect the Storage Sacs and Eggs, and the normal frigates collect augmented storage... but those can only be applied to the ship

[dull kestrel]

I wish there were more Milestones, or more Tiers of Milestones. Because collecting 10,000,000 units just isn't that much when you're an endgame player.

[remote thunder]

spawning sacs, yeah - living ship storage augmentation item. psychonic egg drops both prebuilt living ship techs (for which there's no blueprint; things like saline carapace (aqua jets) and wormhole brain (eco+conflict scanner))

[signal igloo]

maybe its time to enter the races @dull kestrel there is armful of people trying to run in under a hour... and they post it on the yt

i'd never be able to beat those scripts

[tranquil spruce]

Yeah i got the aqua jets and the cargo protection and some more, i sold a few as the poor thing was overwhelmed so i had to sell some

I just love the game....

so much options

@remote thunder Certain planets have "ruins" that are harvested for polished stone. Memory stones can be interacted with to obtain relic blueprints (12 in total). You can then build these relics in/on your base. You think @abstract bone might got these?

@abstract bone could you please make a screenshot to show us?

[remote thunder]

what they're saying is that they unlocked some of the ruin parts sets (yes, the ones that can drop from memory stones, 12 in total) in their expedition character (that was started from anomaly), are also unlocked in their primary character

[tranquil spruce]

The wierd thing is i am sure I collected some memory stones as well, but never got any message or have any blueprint, I think i made a homebase on the planet Baghu, i think that one has memory stones,

[remote thunder]

but what i'm saying is that unlocking those parts is done per save, not account wide - which basically is confirmed by you, if you also started exp18 character from anomaly

[tranquil spruce]

Yes i started from the anomoly

[remote thunder]

what you experience in that regard is how (afaik) it's supposed to be: per save or iow per character unlock

[tranquil spruce]

yes you explained, if started from anomoly, it is a seperate entity

[remote thunder]

yeah

[tranquil spruce]

So maybe @abstract bone started the expedition from the menu as that would give it the blueprints possible, andi think he/she mentioned they had only one save

or am i confused now?

[remote thunder]

they said that they only had 1 save, and started expedition from it

#nms-expedition message

[tranquil spruce]

i am confuse then 🙂

[remote thunder]

anyway could be a glitch or bug, but i'll test it after dinner, already setup

[tranquil spruce]

OK 👍

[tranquil spruce]

@remote thunder I found it, I went back to my base on Baghu,found several stones and now i have 3 blueprints in my save... I need to exit my exit as my xbox seems only want to upload screenshot if i go out of NMS

I will then sow you the screenshot

[remote thunder]

okay, but can you now go to a different base entirely, and build those 3 ruin parts still?

[tranquil spruce]

OK, going to try that brb

[signal igloo]

i want to go home and play

imafraid if i retire RN i'd only play games with no better plan

i know lets build a new base made of ruins

i am sure someone will make it look groovy

[remote thunder]

that parts set looks really nice yeah

[signal igloo]

it'll be boss to make it all old, but it's not.

[tranquil spruce]

@remote thunder Absolutely!!! i just made it on another base, i got 3 new stone items [blueprints]

[signal igloo]

i made a base, of sorts, typical T-shape box with roofs and porches - and I textured it with weathers mahogany

[remote thunder]

so you had a base built in expedition, that used those parts, and after returning to primary, they're unlocked in your primary save as well, correct?

[signal igloo]

odd thing is you can't see a expedition base from main save

its weird - like explaining time travel to a 10 yr old

(ye I did that once)

[tranquil spruce]

I had a base build on Baghu, just only the base unit, I just went back and flew around to find those stones, got 3 or 4 and i got 3 blueprints of them, and went to another base as you asked and put one out on my decking, see the screenshot....

[remote thunder]

I just went back and flew around to find those stones, got 3 or 4 and i got 3 blueprints of them
but you did this in your primary save already

right?

[tranquil spruce]

yes indeed as my exp was closed

[remote thunder]

no worries

i'll test it out

[tranquil spruce]

so he got those blueprints just like i did, but his circumstances are not clear

[signal igloo]

those stones look like they were laser cut, but hte ancients didn't have that tech!

[remote thunder]

in that case, it's completely normal that you can build them on any base in that save: you just unlocked them in that save

[tranquil spruce]

yip. I am 100% sure i also collected a few of the same stones, but never got the blueprint in my exp

[remote thunder]

to be clear, if i interact with a memory stone, and it teaches me a blueprint, that character learns the blueprint, even if it's an expedition character

other characters under the same account do not, other characters have to unlock it themselves

[signal igloo]

that is what i noticed -

[remote thunder]

yep.

[tranquil spruce]

But, I did collect same stones in my exp, and never got the BPS!

[remote thunder]

that exp should have learned the blueprints

that's how it's meant to work

[tranquil spruce]

I double checked everything before i went to the QS on the anomoly, i never got them, only just now going back after the exp. ended

I am sure i got 6 of them bbecause i was fascinated about learning from them

[remote thunder]

"going back" - you could have just gone to any other ruin/relic world and memory stone hunting there

[tranquil spruce]

what ever, remember, i am newbee 😉

[remote thunder]

no worries, just saying that to make sure it's clear that it's nothing specific about baghu

[tranquil spruce]

sure, i understand, i am doing my best to help, with my knowledge

[remote thunder]

yep, all good, and i certainly appreciate it 🙂

[tranquil spruce]

I think this was a ruined storehouse, but yes i got 3 of them now

but you need those polished stone to build them 🙂

[remote thunder]

yeah, easily obtained in ruin/relic worlds

[tranquil spruce]

OK, I hope it helps you to digest this and analyse what goes on with that user

[remote thunder]

thanks 🙂 i'm going to do a run in a bit, started from existing save, and confirm things after

[tranquil spruce]

Are you thinking i did not got those BPS whilst doing the exp? while that user got them?

[signal igloo]

the expedition user has them and they do not transfer correct.
