wont have access to anomaly in the starter system, so you'll most likely have to build a portable refiner to get cmetal
yeah thought so
tip: if you think you can make it without it - dismantle rocket launcher for 100 copper, refine that to cmetal, need 30 cmetal for orb uplink
i'll just bring a bunch of unopened tech to get my ship in early
cant copy in ships to exp19, only tools - can only use the corvette you build for the milestone
oh?
yeah, exp19 specific restriction
makes sense i guess,
Oh shit, the starter ship had a rocket launcher? D'oh!
i'll just go in without anything then, nothing new
yep, 100 copper + 50 cond carbon when dismantled
i pretty much always start from new save, never really have a problem doing a run in ~3h or less
going to try and find a system that spawns an easy derelict freighter
im on miller's planet
you know what to do - dont leave without her data
only waterworld biome planets can satisfy that condition (though there are waterworld biome planets that do have islands/land mass)
those are normally quest locked, as they only appear in purple star systems
Gonna start warping towards the resist 1 system now. I cleared my switch 2 cache
On a fresh save not tied to primary
the fact the starting planet has aggressive sentinels means SO many grav balls xD
i mean i saw grav balls but didn't have any spawn near me
got out of there pretty quick
i can't build a backpack refiner T.T
just use the portable for now
wasn't trying to, sorry if i sounded rude
no i was joking lol

having that orbital uplink as a permanent blueprint sure would be nice
yeah, only way to keep it as a bp is to start an exp19 save from main menu
think imma have to do that
build a lot if you intend to bring some back to main save
start a new main save again xD
LUL and then fill the inventory will all orbital links and complain to HG that life support dosen´t let you recharge with orbital links because orbital links are life
This expedition sucks, ngl. Can't wait for the next one
xD
honestly I've just started it and I'm having fun
just remember to be an absolute menace to frigates and freighters before you head back to your main save and you'll have a ton of nanites
Rewards, I meant
Still does it
Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
please do raise a bug report when you get a bit of spare time
You base must belong to us then
double check if connection to ODS server is active in discoveries menu, and remember that if not using anomaly teleporter, this will only work if the base you're trying to teleport to was uploaded in that system
yeah basically same system, and ODS is online
might be a server side issues as i´ve had that happen the last two expeditions and it cleared up later with some tme
also, try to save+reload, to refresh player base list, just in case
oh that's a good idea
Neat. I got hitchhicking. Just sat on top of someone elses ship in a space station...
and waited for them to leave
Well this is nice
yeah. That models pretty nice generally. Im happy with this one:
Got it from a Dissonance planet
may spend some more time looking for something like that....or copy the one from my main save...
There probably about the same once you upgrade the class
Look up optimum layouts for the modules, and then tinker with where they are to see if it goes up or down on the stats
Seems like it
FYI, the sentinel upgrades you have on the top left only affects boltcasters, not mining beam
Now I have to come up with a name for that new gun, I think this is the first one I've ever acquired. It was so random chasing the corrupt sentinels, was not expecting a royal from the terminal when I shut the planet down. I've done dozens of those and never got one.
yeah, thats just where i left them
could have put tham in the bottem right, or middle
Also all I have is the pulse spitter, but thanks for pointing that out, made me notice my mining stuff was separated. Not sure where I heard it but was told that the sentinel mods do boost the hijacked laser. could be bad or old knowledge though. I've had that gun for years
How's this? I haven't added the bolt caster yet, not that big a fan of it. 1st vertical row and 7th are boosted, 2nd & 3rd down in 1 and 1st & 2nd in 7
I'm always open to advice, even after 4k hours I still hardly know the game, lol
I personally would use only one weapon. My sentinel MT only has neutron cannon installed, and before that, only pulse spitter installed
Is there a new expedition?
one just started, 19 redux
Okay thanks
Never tried the cannon, hows the aim?
Aim wasn't bad, the recoil was hard to get used to
neutron cannon is great
comes with the atlas staff
great for taking down the sentinel walker quick
Hmm, I like that with this one I just walk through sentinels like butter, 700+ hours in a permadeath save before a bug blew me up in my ship with almost that exact gun, boost slots weren't as good though, spread everywhere.
xD
literally everyone in the anomaly just built the same corvette XD
except me with the backwards medusa reactor
I used to hate the neutron cannon because the recoil camera shake made me motion sick, but was given a mod that removed it, so I am now using it 24/7 (shout out to @icy prawn for that mod), it's in the modding channel
I never mod online multiplayer games, except minecraft, but that's a duck of a different texture
NMS isnt a game you need to worry about getting in trouble for mods
I was chuffed that, having found some flat bottomed cowlings, I could build a weird corvette off the bat with a second storey and balcony but no ground floor.
Then I teleported to the ground during a storm, the teleport platform got stuck up a tree and now I'm hiding in a hole in the ground because I can't jetpack high enough to land on my balcony. Pride comes before a miserable death
XD
you can probably resummon it or if not that make the orbital uplink...or load your last save...
In the new expedition now and stuck 😁 early...
I don't know what to do with this task...echo locator
Skip this for now ....?
I got it ..
I got lost in the Expedition menu ...it's my first time going there...there are help missions to claim tools and they're not the main expedition route .
@tidal sleet @deft rock using an echo locator is actually needed for one of the milestones in this expedition:
Phase 3
Reclaimed Weaponry - Claim a Multi-Tool from a Harmonic Camp
echo locator marks an harmonic camp. type !faq-interceptor in #nms-commands , follow harmonic camp sublink for more infos. in short, to use it, we need an inhabited dissonant system, where there's at least 1 dissonant planet that doesn't have gold or rusted metal on resource list.
it might have been obtained part of the reward of
Phase 3
Wild Things - Discover 3 creatures on dissonant worlds
good point, i never really bothered using them to find sentinel MTs tho
@remote thunder
Thanks
I will save this for it's time ..
Thanks again
we've got lots of tips pinned in the channel about exp19 milestones, feel free to check them out if/when needed, starts here <#nms-expedition message> cc @deft rock
When I can open the anomaly ? a lot of things saved their.
after your first warp, get real close to the space station (or just dock with it), then you'll have it
just quick menu summon it as usual
So some player jacked a lift on my ship, fine by that, but they harvested all the plants that had just finished growing. I haven't got that milestone yet, not cool.
Why can’t I claim the sentinel ship?
Corvette expedition gonna corvette. The journey is the build, a ship would make that redundant.
Even my corvette is making fun of me
whats the hottest temp you have ever seen on a planet
Can someone TLDR what community expeditions are?
i just started my first ever expedition how do i stop and save?
You have to make your first hyperspace jump and call in the Anomaly, then you can use the terminal to go back and forth from the Expedition
TLDR si there a way to introduce new content and get you a ton of stuff for building
is there a website that shows all of this expedition stuff to do without being in game?
Read the messages from this morning starting here. #nms-expedition message
They cover all the expedition details.
i cant find the Resist: I - Sign the first rendezvous station
Corvette Hull Modules Pack on phase 1
I’m experiencing the same issue as @delicate wharf with regards to Resist 1 milestone. Station core doesn’t present an option to proceed. Mission icon appears to be right outside the space station. Any new info on this?
Unfortunately not. In my attempts earlier today it effected me both in a expedition from a primary save, and from a fresh expedition save. Tried different approaches to the space station, from going in normally...rebooting the game...riding in from someone else's corvette, warping into the space station from another station, entering and exiting anomaly.... No luck yet.
Are you on Switch 2 too?
Yeah
Please don’t let this be a switch 2 bug that requires a new release. We won’t be able to finish before Nintendo lets a fix get pushed out.
Yeah......haha.. for anyone here, Switch 2 players completely missed the Beachhead redux 💀 we lag behind in the latest version # of the game
Make sure you guys have the Milestone selected in the expedition menu and itś showing the cyan colored triangles around the selected milestone, some milestones will not trigger without it
I’m trying to defeat the sentinel interceptors, but I’m literally doing no damage to them??
See if changing tbe difficulty settings help
Never mind, I got it
Not bad for a free freighter in expedition. Did the emergency jump quest, came right into a pirate battle, and decided to see if it was worth grabbing.
not sure if allowed but i took screenshots of the ingame edpedition stuff if anyone wants to use it without having to go into the logs constantly https://postimg.cc/gallery/F9msRVT
Do we just have to wait for others to finnish the expedition to complete it?
For the optional milestones you would need to wait for the community research to be done
I messed up and lost my anomaly detector somehow. Is there a way to aqquire another easily
Shoot asteroids
Why can't i get second point done
What point
I've been shooting asteroids for 30 min aghh
Hey anyone know how to complete under there neuses
Because I've been stuck on it for 30 minutes now
What do you need to do?
Sell 110k smoklewear but where idk
Go to outlaw system and buy contraband then go to normal system station and sell it there.
Tried that but didn't work
Maybe that specific outlaw system didn't have the correct contraband
make sure that you're buying items marked illegal goods on the contraband agent, e.g. banned weapons, blood salt, first spawn relics, stolen dna samples
@remote thunder @blissful sphinx
Thanks for the recommendations it worked finaly
when i end expedition how do i get the egg to go to my main it wont let me put it int he cargo thing to trasfer
Phase rewards can be claimed on any save, if it’s not a phase reward egg you’d have to save the planet the animal is on and go there on your main save
its hte egg from the reward for the expedition
^^^
Yeah, then you claim it on your main save from the quicksilver companion
thank you
I finished last night. I didn't wait for the optional to complete, but at least I added my signature to the total. 😄 I must have spent half an hour in that last effort to attach as many parts to the corvette as I could because I knew I wouldn't have enough slots for everything I wanted to bring back in the terminal. 😆 Now that I'm back in my main save, I might have to set on-foot combat to "off" for a day because I need a sentinel break.
I'm playing on my S2 ... Just arrived at first rendevous but the station core gives me the same message as previous systems ... Mission marker is still showing the station entrance ... Anyone else having this happen?
I also tried in spacewalk mode - didn't work either, but at least I got an achieve for it 🙂
[Switch 2 version]
I've seen a few other Switch 2 players having that issue so your not alone, unfortunately I haven't seen any fix for it.
I have reported it to zendesk, so ... maybe it will be fixed by the next update ... which will probably come sometime this year, I hope
how the hell am i supposed to get off the first planet? there are so many bases there is literally nowhere to put a refinery to create chromatic metal.
Report the base in your quick menu and it'll go away
fucking hell, thank you
fucking hell, np
nevemind. still no edit permissions. can't progress
Hm, can you still report bases in the quick menu? And are you close to your ship?
nowhere near my ship. been running for nearly 30 minutes looking for a free spot. reporting the base makes it dissapear but it wont actually allow me to place anything.
What I mean is, after you report, can you report again, like are there multiple bases somehow overlapping you.
Regardless, you can dismantle equipment from your suit or ship to get chromatic metal (just remembered)
holy fuck. fuck this, im just gonna dismantle this and use that
those bases are bugged as shit and wont dissapear once reported.
try to save+reload or game restart after report
scrapped my boltcaster and jetpack upgrade. ended up working.
they need to make a rule where within a certain radius of spawn you ca't make a base, and terrain edits are local only. meaning the recousrces don't require a fucking 5k to find and you're actually able to progress
Started the corvette expedition last night. Some may laugh but I typically avoid aggressive sentinel planets, if I don’t need to go there or if I don’t feel like dealing with them. This one has every system either dissonant or aggressive sentinels. You can’t even look at them without them getting upset at you, just my mere presence pisses them off. lol
I put down a portable refiner next to my crashed ship, it worked ... by the way, the 'missile launcher' in your crashed ship can be dismantled into copper and condensed carbon
Isn't that the theme of this expedition?
Getting harassed by sentinels? I guess lol
It’s def an interesting challenge 😁
So I'm at the 4th check in at Rumamot, anyone know of a nearby Pirate system?
You'll get one on the way, it's even part of the system. Check the stages, if there's smuggling involved then ...
Before or after the 4th stop, did I pass it or still to come,. and thanks
I think you can choose it. AFAIK the route is dynamic so if you make smuggling your priority I'm sure the system will present you with directions.
Thank you, nice to have help. Still haven't managed to hitchhike a ride, odd considering my names reference
Nice reference!
I just walked into someone's ship and said Hi, I need a hitch. Quick nod and off.
- be very aware of HUD indicators and audio fx
- when a sentinel spawns, or when in this case we're more concerned about aggressive sentinels, when an aggressive sentinel spawns almost on top of you (that's possible behavior), we still have time to quickly "get out of sight": they have to scan us first before they truly engage in combat. if we break that scan, for example melee jetpacking a good 25u or so, sentinel will lose track of us.
- if we keep our distance to it, 50u or so, but dont move away far enough (more than 150u away or so), the game wont ever despawn it (if we did move more than 150u away, it would eventually later roll again to spawn another near our updated location)
- this allows us to peacefully be on aggressive sentinel planets, working with their spawn behavior and limitations.
- phase 2 milestone 4 rewards pre-built cloaking device: cloaking device can be used instead of melee jetpacking away (in the gameplay i described above), but always turn your back on sentinel chasing you
Excellent tips.
No luck, doesn't show any marker for a pirate system, realised I obviously haven't been to one as the challenge is still there.
if needed, phase 4 milestone 3 rewards conflict scanner+walker brain; install conflict scanner, open galaxy map switch to conflict filter, highlight red colored star systems, eventually you'll find one that says "pirate controlled" for conflict level
Oh bugger, didn't even see that, just got that milestone a few minutes ago. Many thanks fine traveller
always happy to help, good luck. remember to buy items marked "illegal goods", usually first ones on the list at contraband agent
i still advocate that you shouldn't be able to sell illegal goods at the terminal, but only to other pilots and/or the shady merchant in the back
hehe, not bad ideas 
I noticed last night that turning off the pillar didn't actually require fighting. I was pretty over combat by that point, so I just dropped out of my 'vette right by the terminal and I was able to shut it down and get the MT without fighting the sentinels. They just poofed into loot barrels.
yeah, not required - we can just waltz about and interact with terminal
even on aggressive sentinel planets
Hilariously, the hardest milestone for me was the 40 second fall. 🤣 "Nope, not far enough into atmo. Try again... Oh crap, 38 seconds. Try again... Use the jetpack to add time... used too much! SPLAT"
Is Corvette redux live on Xbox?
yep, should be
Sweet, thanks
there's a few ways to cheese this, but for example dropping on a dead biome planet because of low gravity will easily allow you to get it done.
SO if I dismantle my multi-tool in the expedition that I brought from my main save will that affect it in the main save? Never thought to try this before
will that affect it in the main save?
no
Awesome, can deck out my Royal that I found and copy that back to the main
what do you really do in an expo
missions, objectives
"visit an outlaw system"
"do a smuggling run"
"defeat 3 sentinel ships"
etc etc
get a whole ton of awesome stuff for free
Got an A class same style, at 15 frigates currently. Can't find a verdant planet, must have jumped past.
Can you still get the rewards for the optional milestone "Resistance" after you've gone back to your primary save or do you have to wait until everyone finishes their "Resist" milestone???
if you've returned to primary but didn't end expedition iow can still resume expedition at expedition terminus, you can still go back in after its community research has completed, and complete and claim the milestone, then end expedition
I see! thanks! I've only been playing for like 2 weeks and a half, expedition relic was way simplier so I finished it in one sitting and I didnt know you can go in and out of an expedition if you havent finished it yet.
Any idea on how long it'll take for the community milestone 'Resistance' to hit 100%, based on past events? When I logged off about an hour ago, it was at 14%, so it's taken roughly a day to reach that. Could extrapolate and say it'll take ~7 days. However, with the weekend coming up, that could bump the progression.
I just logged out and it was at 16%
Once we S2 version players get a fix for the rendevous 1 issue, we can help as well
If you're still looking, I found mine in the same system as the quest (rdv 2), though I don't remember the name of it
At the end of Phase 5 you have to restore Sentinel/Traveller neutrality. It seems like you can't complete this which stops you from completing the expedition.
that was REALLY annoying
Not being able to complete the expedition is even more annoying!
i ran for so long i didn't even look back to see how far to make a refiner
glad they came back to make a base to mess with people
shows the true nature of people (or Trolls) we were not spawn with the ability to make a base, i thought, so it was extra effort to do so.
You can place a portable refiner right next to your ship, or disable multiplayer and reload and then place one. It's better than not being able to complete the expedition at all! I hope they can put out a patch for that before it's over.
You should be allowed to place portable refiners in other peoples bases
that would solve more than this one case yes.
I thought we were going to have spawn with personal refiners, but that didn't happen
my coudy brain says i had one in jul/aug
forget when now
My refiners are stuck lol. System keeps saying that “refiner not empty” when I try to pick up the stack I put down. They’re in a corvette, fwiw
You have to use the Z menu and delete it like you would a base part.
Ahoy -Another Switch 2 player with an incompletable Phase 1. In case anyone's counting.
The sign in at the first rendezvous station? Yeah it's bugged for me too
That and the multiplayer milestone (get on someone else's Corvette) are both optional. You can personally complete the expedition without doing either of those. I didn't do that one and I didn't wait for the "restore neutrality" and I was able to end, transfer my goodies and migrate back into my main save. Then I imported my expedition corvette into my save.
Oh, so you can end? I’ll be back on in about an hour and try again.
What happens to all of my stuff once the expedition ends?
You can bring some of the stuff back with you.
Can I bring my corvette back?
I think I’ll just do the expedition goals and go back to my main world after
Depending on how much your ship costs in Nanites, you should be able to grind it out from a curious deposit within an hour or so
Even faster with sus packets
Yeah, if you've personally completed all of the required milestones, when you go back to the terminal, there will be two buttons, one to return to your main save if you started it from the anomaly to begin with, and one to end the expedition. The transfer slots will be locked at this point. You have to click the button to end the expedition before it will unlock the slots to transfer items. Then there will be a "finish expedition" button instead, click that after you load up the items you want to take back. As soon as you return to the regular save, you can clone in your corvette at the terminal.
It's every single switch 2 player we are all universally effected
Everyone of us who tries expedition 19 cannot complete stage 1
I dared to hope I'd be the special one 😉
Looking ahead in expeditions, seems i need to get thr imprint to a high number, mine is at 22%, how do you increase the percentage?
Universal traveller imprint
It's a cumulative amount from everyone doing the expedition (number of "traveller signatures"). That milestone is optional so you don't have to wait for it to hit 100% to be done if you don't want to.
Thank you
You're welcome! It's gotten to 22 since yesterday morning, so I imagine it will get to 100% this weekend since more people will be on. I decided not to wait, I wanted to get back to my save so I could import my corvette. LOL I'm impatient.
I like to think it'll stick at 99 and then an emergency Switch 2 patch will drop....
I saw that one of the fibal rewards is an egg for a companion, how do i get that egg to my main save?
QuickSilver merchant on the Anomaly.
After i complete thr expedition?
Well no one here is a HG dev so people stating they have a issue is funny if you don´t report it.

Don't worry, I reported it. But I didn't know if it was universally the Switch 2 experience or a subset, so I recorded it here too. I'm thorough!
Hey, anyone know what direction the 2nd rendezvous system is in? The Expedition Path doesn't function but that doesn't stop me manually jumping. But there's quite a lot of lights to choose from....
Question did you select the Resist 1 milestone when going to the first stations
resist 2 system is: Abyluling also all systems are pinned in this channel as usual
Yes. Restarted the game, restarted the console, warped away and back, teleported away and back, exited the expedition and re-entered, toggled other destinations, tried online and offline, ensured discovery services were on.
Do you know if that's core-ward or not of R1?
If you mean station teleport there is for me but iḿ at R1 right now
No I mean if you're at R1, is R2 towards the Galactic Core, Away from the Galactic Core or... What's the space equivalent of Left / Right? Spaceleft ?
On the star map. I'm trying to fly to R2 with plans to return to R1 to check in once the switch issue is resolved.
When i face the Galactic core in the R1 system, expedition route goes away from it itś at 919 ly away from R1
Cheers! I'll name a rock after you for this!
here made a video of finding the R2 route
Wow! Okay, two rocks, that's my final offer!
(Thanks!)
Are those teleport to station devices transferable to the main save?
Devices, yes. Recipe, no. I gather. Unless you started it as a new one and convert this expedition save to a regular save.
I did the original expedition and it seems the kind of thing I'd transfer to the main save. I seem to remember them being grayed out(ie blocked from being transferable) but I'm not sure. Did you actually transfer the devices to your main save? Maybe HG slipped and forgot to block them in the redux?
Me? No. But people in here talked about doing it.
Might be related to main save progress - I wasn't allowed to send back purple star materials the last few times for example because I hadn't finished the atlas path.
Is it part of the expedition to not be able to access anything in your exosuit inventory directly or am I experiencing a bug?
nope only the corvette we build
LoL
Didnt expected that
Just finished it
So if i want to go freighter hunting, have to do it with that filthy, crapless pile of junk i put together
not experiencing anything like that on PC
Okay, since I'm on pc, I'm going to start looking. Thank you for responding.
On the way to 4th rendezvous and I gotta say, my hyperdrive is getting a massive workout....hardest part of the expedition imo
At least this time, there wasn't a black hole mission that put players hundreds of jumps away
that'll be next in breach
there something i'm supposed to do while on a lush planet to tick off Grounded? I've been to at least 3 and it's still not working
Bicenart VI in R1 system Gaprofa II did it for me for the Grounded Milestone
didnt work for me sadly
I can't install the refiner; there are too many bases.
report them, people are spamming near the start area for whatever stupid reason
Okey
if you still have trouble after that i'll pop back and give youa personal refiner
Oki
They need to disable base building on expedition planet. There's a base on every resource it makes it unplayable.
Turn off multiplayer?
you also need to disable discovery i believe
Steam offline mode would probably work best for that
nah, firewall would be better, can disable/enable without restarting the game/steam
i've been meaning to puta python app together to quickly un/firewall the game
Even when disable multiplayer the bases are still there
This has been an ongoing problem that should've been resolved already
Discovery service is seperate to Multiplayer
Like the traps everybody has set on expedition two on the portals
the starting system is being spammed with bases i did see it on the teleporter when i started yesterday
kinda wish there were a DisableDiscoveryService setting in GCDebugOptions.Global, like there is DisableMultiplayer
Report the base and then save+reload should despawn it
I've been running for the last half an hour and I still haven't even been in a place where I can edit
You have to actually have something to report now they've changed the system
use the quick menu
All the way to right
idk how many times that's been stated now
flashes back to Breach and telling people to turn off Multiplayer
Even with multiplayer off and reporting the base it does not let you. You have to force it off the system and play off-line. This is a problem.
Did doesn't work do you want the clip?
Yeah actually, that'd help others debug
I'm a weirdo because i actively ignore bases unless it's a good one and do my objectives with enough hours in the game now i know most of the work arounds
ffs
You forgot the save and reload part
even in the clip you ignored Ash's message
yeah
go back to ship hop in & out, reload
30 seconds is the limit on the clip I did
I hate even seeing them on my horizon so I play offline (firewall setting blocking nms)
use the quick menu (DPad down) and report all the bases near you
then save, reload and try again
I've reported three bases and reloaded four times.
okay, console? turn off wifi and save/reload
I turn off multiplayerZ I report the base. I save I reload. It's all still there uneditable
reload the entire game even, the bases might be stuck in memory
open your quick menu, and if there are still options to report a base on the right then report them too
Nothing there. No option just no edit permission.
i think it's possible they've saved to your save data then i have seen community bases when poking around save data.
did you join from your main save or a new expedition?
hold up, i gotta know, are you using a steamdeck as an entire PC?
that's actually pretty based and funny at the same time
if you've only just started the expedition, tunr on multiplayer, add me, and i'll shoot over witha personal refiner so you can get on with it
QMF7-G54M-H8C5T
55 minutes. I'm finally far enough away I can build a refinery
yo where the heck can i put a freakin refiner down? everywhere is "within a base"
go 300u away from any base or report a base save at your ship and do a reload
Run till there's no base showing up on your Quick menu, the reporting didn't work for me. Or use the quick menu to report login and log out and cross your fingers
Btw, thank you to everybody that replied Before.
thank you sir!

Current Expedition rewards
#nms-expedition message
So what's the deal with the final objective: resistance.
Once you do your part do you need to wait for the rest of the community to catch up to finish it with all rewards?
yep
Anyone could trade me a sand worm egg or smth ill trade a stasis chamber
Im playing creativ ik im a dweeb for that but i personally just like designing ships so yea
nobody will ever judge you for the game mode you play in.
try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades - creative/relaxed/normal/survival can all play together, PD and expedition are separate
That's not very cool

I'm going crazy trying to acquire an anomaly detector after accidentally losing mine from the quest. Anyone in that stage of the expedition i can warp to and get it completed
Do you have enough money to buy a derelict locator from the space station scrap dealer? I just used that and it counted for the finding an anomaly milestone and then I completed the derelict milestone.
emergency signal scanner is the name
what's not cool is all the Switch 2 players who'd like to contribute to that community goal but can't 😉
#First Galaxy Problems!
(in recognition of the Switch 1 players who don't get to even start the expedition)
Yes, that! Thanks! I'm on my first coffee so I'm lucky it didn't come out as "buy the thing from the guy at the place". 😄
is it wrong to as for pay of cargobulkheads in expedition to take them in my ship and complete there phase? lol i am uber in the game lol
Had no idea that could work for encountering an anomality. As i just continued the quest line through following another guy in the same system and completed the derelict milestone that way
not quite sure i understood the question, but if you started exp from anomaly, and want to bring back cargo bulkhead(s) obtained in expedition to apply to your existing char's freighter, you can.
no i mean i want to help ppl but they need to pay there fair lol to get HItchhiker mission done lol
ohhh
we need to keep the trading system going right lol lmao
well, it's up to you ofc. asking for a toll, sure i guess, sounds like a bit of fun, sure. i'd not ask for anything in specific though.
lol they been not helping ppl and some ppl are asking for compensation lol so i am on it for the fun too lol uber time
i got robe by a geke lol
Sencintal brains as payment lol 20 of them
hehe. well, try to make it uh simple but also fun for others
remember that many will be trying to get stuff for their own saves too
yeah but 90% of them dupe lol i am fari with the once that are really new to the game lol
have fun 🙂
We just have to hope it gets fixed soon 🙏
Doing my first expedition today. I used my regular save to join and brought over some stuff to sell for nanites so I could get my multitool and ship, but where do I sell the stuff for nanites?
what stuff did you bring? Tech you can sell in Stations, food you can donate to the dude in the anomaly who will judge it and give you a random nanite reward. Some stuff like mold you can refine to nanites
depends in the stuff u bring in
Personally I just jumped in a ship at one of the expedition rendevouz points and went to the bathroom. Came back with the milestone done XD
u got lucky lol ppl are using the teleportert to take out the campers lol
Sorry, kid was bugging me. I brought (saw a site that suggested these) gold, silver, hyaline brains, runaway mould and mainly crafting stuff
looks like I need to make some nanites if I want to copy over stuff.. no biggie
Grand so - Put Mould in a refiner - instant nanites. You get the Corvette Refiner recipe from a Phase 1 milestone, but you'll need 20 platinum to build it. Shoot some asteroids and cross your fingers, or try to buy some in stations.
if you have 20 gold and 20 silver you can refine that to Platinum but if you had a refiner you wouldn't be looking for Platinum would you....
I guess personally I wouldn't care as it has no meaning for my gameplay unless I would plan to sell the service
I got a portable refiner in the corvette, so I got a few things going
Can you play on the normal save while waiting for the 1.2k quicksilver from the optional milestone?
yout should be able to cahnge
yeah but some things can give u more nanites then others they have more value the best once are teh sentinal brainbut hard to get
On the Options menu (to the right of the Expedition goals list) there's a Resume Primary Save option or something like that. To get back in, return to the Anomaly and Resume Expedition from the Expedition computer.
Any tips for making my first corvette class starship?
I'm stuck on some planet with an occasional random giant worm and no money to make a ship
you get the parts needed to build a ship
phase 1 milestone 1
wym?
complete and claim phase 1 milestone 1
@valid inlet you're in the expedition channel, are you in expedition game mode?
anything else just ask
I have a question - Has any of my fellow S2 players found a way to do the rendevous 1? I've tried several methods, and none of them have worked 🙁
yeah, i've seen other sw2 players with the same issue, milestone icon remains at station entrance, doesnt override station core dialog
sorry, i dont know of a workaround either 🙁
yeah, def a good move ofc 🙂
Yesterday I was trying to trigger the R1 goal by spacewalking into the station entrance, and got the spacewalk step done, at least
I posted the video I captured, in case you don't get motion sick easily
Do I have to complete the expedition in order to keep the corvette I make or can I just buy it with nanites in the primary game after the Expedition is over ?
Question, is there any opportunities for me to claim a starship while on the expedition, including when I finished all the milestones?
I was wondering if I could bring this interceptor home with me
And this asshole made his base covering the ship and his base computer is hidden behind walls so I can't report him as easily
You can't claim ships in Corvette, because you have to build a corvette. So jokes on him, he didn't stop you doing anything 😄 Although maybe he was hiding the ship from you so your inability to claim it would not be a source of irritation, and he's the real hero?
I want to claim it before I click on the expedition if possible
Do I have to complete the expedition in order to keep the corvette I make
no, and you could copy it back right now if you wanted/your primary char has the nanites for it, dont need to wait
Question, is there any opportunities for me to claim a starship while on the expedition
no
including when I finished all the milestones?
correct, unless your exp char started from new save (after completing and claiming all, this exp char would insta convert to normal mode, now allows for any ship to be used)
Do I need to get both logs for the derelict freighter?
yep, all 3 terminals, then turn them logs in, to either npc
Burn undergoes creative cursing OK
Quick question, if I click on the End Expedition button, do I only get that one opportunity to transfer the items back, or do i have the chance to go back and forth?
U can exploit it to do multiple times
Fill transfer slots. Switch to main menu from options menu. Go to exp terminal on main save. Take out stuff. Go back to expedition . Put more stuff . Repeat.
Ok, and my expedition is still not considered to be "over" until I press it on the main save side right? (so no grabbing any ships on my way out)
you can already add items to exp terminus exp side, yes?
Not yet, I think I need to push the end expedition button
yes, you need to do so - but remember, ending it, locks it in - there's an optional milestone, if you care about that
if you end it to unlock exp terminus slots, you wont be able to do that milestone later, even if you dont' finish
Not too fussed about hitch hiking, but if waiting is all that's needed for the other one, I can wait a bit, doesn't seem to far away from completion anyway
yeah i was referring to hitchhiking
i do believe that's the only milestone with community research

Damn. Resistance milestone is at 97%. It was at 44% when I checked a couple of hours ago.
How do I get chromatic metal in the beginning?!
Find Copper deposit, mine, then craft a portable refiner.
Or dismantle some of your starting gear.
I can't craft a refiner without base computer which still needs chromatic metal
You don't need a base computer to craft the portable refiner in the Expedition.
I must be near a base then
Yep. Other players have plopped down base computers left, right and centre
Switch off multi-player mode.
It's off
anyone else having issues with the "Spacewreck" mission? i was going on in loops inside the wreck and the mapped zones were frozen at 17/0. i restarted my game but now i don't have a way to find the wreck again. when i go to a space station to get coordinates it is asking me for 5 million? help 😭😭😭
It was at 78 just 2 hours ago I think
In case no-one else has said it, it looks like the S2 issue with the rendevous points may have been fixed - altho I've not seen a patch on my console, perhaps it was a server-side issue? Anyway, R2 and R2 are working for me now
It's not even been a week yet how are we already at 99% for the final milestone
Christmas period, so people having more time on their hands?
Come on guys. Were right there. Just 1 more percent
I’ll go have a look myself, cool beans if its been fixed
Sooooooo... I'm on expedition. I let my corvette go autopilot while I stretched the legs. Then my pulse engine died mid-flight and I have nothing to recharge.
THEN
My character glitched down through the floor and I'm stuck outside the ship.
If the game detects you’re in space can’t you just summon it directly onto you?
Or i mean, just craft a space station teleporter thingy if you have the chromatic metal
I managed to open the cargo doors. Couldn't get in first time but second time worked great
is the 99% just a waiting game at this point?
Yes. Waiting for players who haven't done their part to get that last 1%
oh gotcha
Well if it’s true that S2 got the bug fixed then it should happen pretty quickly
S2 , can confirm as soon as I went through the front door the marker moved to the right place at rendezvous 1 and the dialogue worked. Thanks for the heads up @jagged sedge
And now I've done my part... Have we hit 100? 😄
Chilling in the anomaly with my rancid pet "Gumbo". A knee high biped with chicken legs and tail, beatle carapace, turtle flippers, primate head and antlers.
A loving God did not make him, and when the resistance milestone is done and I can finish the expedition, I will turn him into Gumbo
Its a sad truth Gumbo, but god doesnt love you and neither do I.
He's also absurdly fast for his size so when he runs his arms spaz around
help, I think it's broken:
you cant have starships in this expeditiopn
It's not, getting starships on this expedition is a on purpose limit
If only we could get Gumbo a starship so he could escape his terrible fate....
Also i think it's a limit for the next one as well for breach
well it keeps giving me the quest that I've done three times, this is confusing
Oh
it'll always give you a quest if you go up to a sentinel ships you can go into LOGS and hit abandon quest / mission
I think we hit 100%
Well I get that, but I don't get why we can't just get a quicksilver option, or an option to transfer to main save while in the expedition.

I've done everything in the expedition. I like lingering a little to be in a multiplayer, but that was one of the loose ends I was trying to figure out. Thanks for the feedback it was super useful. I just wish there was an option to let us have the ship as a b plan when working our keys off for it no matter where. That, or just disable the quest while in E mode. I may make a suggestion there on that thingy link.
🙆♂️
100%
its not giving me an option to interact with the thing further while its at 100
go to station core
To make chromatic metal for the first step, I need a portable refiner, right? I can't seem to build a portable refiner, everywhere I try says I don't have edit permissions
Other player base is nearby. Go somewhere else or report the base from quick menu
Report it for being offensive?
I've been going for like 20 mins and I can't find a place
That sounds pretty offensive to me! Press the button!
Thanks
It is - expedition complete, approx. 12 hours ... would have been less if that bug hadn't slowed everything
Where was the channel with expedition dates?

command and not a channel
anyone still in expedition want my excess corvette parts?
I would say yes but i nearly filled up my station corvette cache
xD
seeing as im about to ditch this save for a new one so i can keep the orbital uplink, i might just not leave the expedition, i've collected all the milestones except phase 6, already got all the rewards on my account.
If I accidentally bought something on the QS shop in expedition side of my save, it's still unlocked automatically on my main side of the save right? I was counting how much QS i need for everything but accidentally bought something on the expedition sided
Why is it soo hard to get kidnapped? 🤣
i found the cutest mf
Just curious, did you deliberately keep your resolution 16:9 on a UW monitor?
Or is that just my eyes?
what
That's because that creature looks like a fat legless Gumbo. He has not the grace nor poise to replace The Master! Of course that distorted monstrosity made the UI look misrepresented. Just as Ringo isn't the best drummer in the Beatles, I do not believe that twisted caterpillar shite is the cutest MF on its planet, let alone the galaxy at large.
I'm assuming all the corvette parts in this expedition are available in the main save and I shouldn't have to transfer them all?
You don't have to.
But do.
Like exhuming your granny, why dig them up twice?
The parts are already unlocked even without doing this expedition; depending on how you started the expedition you can transfer those back if you don't want to dig them up again or use free crafting mode.
the expedition you really want to do to unlock atlas parts in the next one Breach in which you play a expedition in abandoned mode
Oh I have 100s of parts on my main save. I just did this one for the rewards. Wanted to make sure there wasn't any specific things I should keep to transfer.
people seem to really like the orbital uplinks and seeing as you can't craft them outside of this i would take those back along with any storage upgrades etc
When you have 96 habs, you don't need an orbital uplink. Run the expedition another 80 times or so!
I am gonna try this when I end the expedition, but I think the uplinks cannot be transferred, I just ended up resorting to using a save editor and enabling the blueprint on my main
😭
So nothing changed 😛
the egg you can claim main save side but at least we know for sure
yep, via the quicksilver merch
this was probably the easiest redux so far
I want to check if I am not tripping... do planet features differ between Expedition and normal? because I could swear that the weekend QS mission leads us to the same planet, but the weather is completely different, and that one side is dissonant, and the other isn't
Things like sentinel aggressiveness and if a planet is Dissonant or not does change between Expedition mode and whatever mode your save is on; i went to a planet on a different save in the R1 system for this expedition to check out a moon and it only had high sentinel activity instead of the super aggressive sentinels.
I'm going slower to see if i can scope out any good corvette harvesting planets / moons
Thanks, so I am not slowly going insane 😛
Rendezvous Station core won't talk to me. Am I missing something here? Can't complete phase 1 of expedition
That's the teleportation terminal you want to select the milestone for Resist 1 so it has cyan triangles around it and it should point you to the terminal right under the head that moves at the space station.
Some switch players are reporting it doesn't work for them in which case use the !hgcommand to file a bug report on the HG site
Yeah I am teleporting to space stations with "Rendezvous" in the name but when I speak to the core it only gives me the option to leave
Ah wait. I am in ship and have looked at galaxies
Looks like I may have found the right one - Gaprofa II System
Yeah done now 🙂
hello guys, how do i get edit permission again
it swtarting to get annoying when i can't build my own refinery
go away from any bases until you don't see them on the quick menu to report usually it's around 300u from a base computer but if there are multiple you might need to go further
i walk over 700u and there are just so many bases
Report the bases to get them removed. I had to do it yesterday
I don't know if turning off multiplayer before loading in will fix that for you but disconnecting completely from the internet (in steam you can go in offline mode) and that should make getting started a ton easier.
Just reconnect / turn it all back on after you get to the space station.
It's my first expedition so it may be a stupid question, but before I started, I filled the inventory with "items to bring to the expedition". Where are they? XD
Same terminal you left them in. You have to make your way to it before you can collect them.
you have to warp 1 system before getting access to the anomaly again; warp one system after you make your corvette and then wait a moment and check the quick menu as there is sometimes a delay in the anomaly popping up in the quick menu again
Thank you for the tip
sadly, turning off multiplayer has no impact on the online discovery service (which is what shares system/planet/etc names, and also what shares bases). i really wish they'd give us a setting to opt out of all that noise the way they give us a multiplayer toggle. flipping steam into offline mode isn't super onerous for me, but i shouldn't need to do that to be able to play the game :(
for me it isn't just the building restriction issue; i get disoriented with all of the waypoints cluttering things and have trouble figuring out where i'm going
How can I make the first crafting step if I can't place the refiner anywhere ? What's the catch that I don't know ?
The cluter on the HUD bothers me too.
Scroll up just past your first post and there are a couple messages that address that issue.
I see, I think I understand the logic but I don't know what to do
Could you please explain to me ?
What does it mean to turn off the multiplayer
Oh ok fixed... I walked for 20 minutes omg
Under Options > Network - you can toggle the multiplayer setting.
@torpid quest A lot of people use the quick menu and just report bases interfering with thier gameplay which effectively removes them.
Some are getting a bit clever with their bases though by encasing their base computers with walls so you can't go there and report them
When you open the quick action menu and scroll right there should be base icons for each one you are within their boundries.
Select and report should work.
Thanks, I'll make a note of that next time
Are there any bases for rendezvous 4
I built my corvette and got the prompt to build the mission radar but when I went to install it it was red and I needed gold to build one. This doesn’t seem right from what I’ve watched/read so have I missed something or do I need to restart the expedition and try again?
there should have been one in inventory
I don't remember having an issue installing the mission terminal on the corvette.
If your corvette flies take into space and blast asteroids for a while and you should get all the gold you need.
I couldn't remember if it was a milestone reward or not.
when you build the new ship and it only asked to exchange you need to transfer invenotry then
it compeletes the goal yes
your ship doesn't register the goal until you put the mission unit
shoot astroids for sure unless you know where buncha gold is
you're not cooked just delay
All of the rendezvous in this expedition are in space stations
Okay, thanks. Yeah, doesn’t seem to be in my inventory but I did get the milestone for completing the corvette and switched it to my ship. I’ll try shooting some asteroids.
How many items can you bring back to primary save I can’t remember
As many as you have. Once you click on the end expedition button, the terminal opens up for you to put stuff into it to transfer to the main save, do that, but instead of pressing end expedition a second time, return to your main save, now the terminal would be populated by items that you just had put in, take them all out, use the terminal to return to expedition save, rinse and repeat as often as necessary/needed
note some items cannot be transferred, the biggest ones being the pet eggs and orbital uplinks
Is this an exploit?
I am not sure
Ok thank you I didn’t know this
Exp19 done im glad I dud it (returning 2018) totally messed up the beginning but its complete..
Someone on reddit was saying that there's supposed to be a stack of copper in the ships inventory when you start the expedition but I don't see any copper.
I've completed the expedition, it was my first one so please:
Any tips on what to bring back and what not ?
Like, should I dismantle the Corvette to bring back all parts or can I bring back the ship directly?
You can bring back as much as you want, you just have to make multiple hops between saves
You can only reduce a corvette down to its minimum size and keep any extras, you can't outright completely dismantle a corvette
Does this work even if I didn't make a new save but I started the expedition on my main save?
It only works if you did that. If you started a new save with expedition, you cannot transfer anything anywhere else
So it's just a matter of going back and forth from expedition to the main save in the anomaly right ?
Yes, first, press the end expedition button on your expedition side, that should open up the terminal for you to throw stuff in there, do that, and then leave the terminal and hop back to main save, go to terminal on your main save, grab everything, then hop back to expedition and repeat the process. once you are fully transferred and done with expedition, hit the end expedition button again to transfer the currency over
I don't see any either, do you have a link to the reddit post?
I see, thank you
That was a huge tip thank you very much
I think I'm missing a point (for sure because I'm a newbie) , how do I "hop back to the main save" ?
Oh wait, I think I just found it .... Is it the button under the restore point in the option menu ?
Yes
Nice
thank you
To be fair it was just one guy saying it a couple times, u/octarine_turtle, but that would have been a nice thing to have lol
I cannot find it either, but I didn't think it was an issue, the plonking down of the refiner was the bigger issue, I had no problems mining the copper mine nearby, and I was luckily able to plonk down the refiner not too far from that.
Although the refiner issue could be easily resolved if they gave us a backpack refiner instead
or prevent bases from being built within 2000u of the expedition starting point, and any rendezvous points on the planet
What to do with the egg ? I cannot bring it back, should I just put it into the (I don't know the English name) egg container thing into the anomaly?
Can’t you make a copy of the corvette for the primary save?
There’s no drawback to claiming a freighter for the Corvette expedition is there? I just saved one from pirates and it looks like I can get it for free
Should be able to, yes, I didn't
There shouldn't be any
I did but I don’t think there’s much reason too. The one I claimed had almost 1000 chromatic metal so that was nice
My current corvette build is definitely not worth the nanite cost so I’ll probably strip it down
At the very least, this one has a scanner module I can probably remove and take to my freighter in the main game
One of the techs
I think you break down one of the broken components like the engines and you get chromatic metal for your orbital link.
Won't really do anything, since the pet isn't transferred over, but you can claim it from quicksilver merchant next door
the way i get a stack of 100 copper and 50 condensed carbon is by dismantling rocket launcher from the starter ship cc @glossy flame @glad pelican
aha
pretty much always use that strategy: need resources? look at tech inventories: anything i dont immediately need or buffs me in a way i cant pass up+that i can get later, gets dismantled for mats.
Lol I just stored it in my exosuit and added it to my Corvette tech, I didn't think about dismantling it
once i get to a station with units in my pocket - pretty much all my basics are covered except o2 and carbon, and those i can workaround/get on a planet
Is the freighter rescue dialogue busted for anyone else? Last 3 I saved in my main offered no reward and just offered to sell the freighter, in the expedition no reward was offered but if I inspected the freighter for trade it was free.
Might just have been careless and shot a bunch of civilians during a pirate fight.
getting npc freighter (for free, or the request payment option) is busted on any game mode when using a corvette
Well, good luck Civilian Transports then. Cause papa Corvette Pilot don't shoot pirates for free!
after docking+exiting seat, space rescue mission gets deleted from log
which is ofc required for npc freighter captain interaction
this is why i've ignored every single rescue battle on exp19 😄
So the solution is to spacewalk down and glitch through the hull? I like a challenge
i like the way you think
That was a real annoying part, I got out to about 3000u before I lucked into a place where I could drop down a refiner. I think I did what everybody else did, look for corvette parts and follow the yellow markings. I BROUGHT the backpack refiner into the expedition, but couldn't get access to it until after getting past the first planet.
The spam of bases and and Comm balls everywhere really made it hard to identify resources, directions, and places of interest. It would be cool if we could turn off, or limit how far away they show up.
I found a sentinel ship. Would I be able to bring that and my new corvette to my main save? Or can you only transfer one ship after an expedition?
You can set one as your active ship, return to main save, copy the ship, return to expedition, make the other ship your active ship, return to main save, copy the second ship, then you can return to expedition and continue from where you were.
Is it worth doing that for an interceptor? I’ve never encountered a sentinel ship before so wasn’t sure how hard it is to get one
at what point does the expedition allow you to get another ship?
Not hard to get, dissonant systems are all over the place and marked on the galactic map.
I thought the Corvette expedition only allowed you to own corvettes but I didn't try getting an interceptor and he's saying he has one so idk...maybe oversight by hello games and they forgot to put a blocker on interceptors or something.
Good to know. Probably not worth it at this point
no no, i have found 2 of them -0 and not allowed to take
Anyone knows why I didn't get a milestone for completing a directly frieghter? I made it to the end, got nanites from the end computer and even found all the logs.
Did you complete all 3 terminals? You have to complete all 3 terminals and for the second one you need to find security credentials in a datapad before you can do it or it will kick you out.
I didn't find all three of them before going to the terminal. I did that afterwards
Why did an S show up during the expedition when I'm poor.
what do i do when theres so many bases around that i can't place a portable refiner?
try going into the pilot seat
Go to another planet or report a base to make it disappear.
not work😢 even i went out and came back.
Did u builded all parts that game wants u to build?
yes
is mission radar necessary? << yes
OK, I got it. Love u guys.
I haven’t claimed the interceptor yet so I don’t know if I can. I need to get a bunch of stuff before I can claim it and I’d need to upgrade my mining beam. Prob not worth the trouble
You probably won't be able to get it.
Yeah, I guess that settles it lol
Ahh is somwthing wrong with latest expedition or am i just dumb? I cabt seem to fibd any place with edit permission on start planet?
So i cant drop refiner to build orbital
I been walking for a while but there is always anpther base
You can’t build on another base location, it’s also probably bc it’s so overpopulated
No kidding.
Yeah that’s kinda been an issue for expeditions I’ve noticed ^^”
Its crazy i have multiplayer off and im still fucked by other players.
Yeah…I haven’t played the new expedition, is it required to place a base on the starting planet
Is there some solution or i just am not alowed to participate because others ruined it?
Yes.
0-o
Probably if u continue walking or hop into the ship and fly to another location
You need to refine copper tp chromatic metal to bild orbital.
You cant hop onto a broken ship and fly away.
Ohh the ship starts out broken 💀
You start with busted ship
That makes sense, tbh usually I just bring a personal refiner
You cant get items from anom yet...
HAH FORGOT ABOUT THAY
Or do they just appear in inv?
Nah ur right
I dont bring anything in for fun
GODDAMN guess I’m a lil screwed too once I decide to do it XDDD
Pretty weak
100%, they should disable base building on the starter planets if they’re gna require that
It’s a little wack
Most of them dont even have base computers? To report
How..? Every base needs a base computer
Just tons of purple dots with no computer around.
bright ash moon
You can bury base computers, put them up in the air on a platform and then delete the platform, there's lots of ways to make them hard to get to. But you can report bases from the up-arrow menu where photo mode and recharge and all that are.
goons putting down bases at the start and can't even build a portable refiner! argh!
Hey guys, corvette exp has a bug: when i finish to build the corvette the achievement is not unlocked...any advice ?
The milestone you probably are hung up on requires you to install a mission terminal inside the ship as a last step.
Have you done that?
How can i install a mission terminal into the corvette ?
Step inside the ship and open the build menu - top row should have the equipment you need to install.
thanks a lot! it's done !
Hey I have done the tutorial up to making my warp engine, would it be faster/easier to start a new game for expedition or am I close to being able to juat do it in my normal game?
Depends on what you want.
If you tuff it out and finish the tutorial then go to the anomaly and start the expedition you'll be able to bring things back to that save** IF** you want to.
If you start the expedition on a fresh save you won't have the usual starter ship or multitool as you normally would BUT at the end of the expedition everything you've collected and done gets converted to a normal save.
The one thing I see good about starting from a new save is that you should learn and have the ability to make orbital uplinks after the expedition ends.
Orbital uplinks DO NOT transfer to main game at all in made form or as a Blueprint.
see here #nms-expedition message
From a new clean save?
I haven't seen anything from anyone starting fresh saying they could or could not craft them after the expedition ends.
They'll work in the expedition and that is it; when i played it the first you could move them over now devs have closed even that loophole so player will only be able to use them in expedition
well there is nothing stopping players from save editing but i doubt it'll work from a new save
@misty plinth I just want to make my own ship ASAP. If I am close I will power through, how close am I to being able to do it normally if I just built warp drive?
You build the warp drive and put fuel into it. Right after you make your first warp you will ba able to summon the anomaly.
Shouldn't take very long.
Thank you
If I finished the expedition and want to do it again with someone Can I? Can I redo it?
Not on the save you did the expedition on, but you can make a new save on expedition and join them on the new save
I am a little bummed I cant get a picture with the glyphs showing. like i am lame or some junk..
If you mean using the camera function, the glyph address of your location isn't actually saved to the final screenshot, it only shows while your camera HUD is up
Most have to use the screenshot function of windows or use a phone to take picture of the address manually
If you're playing through steam - use the camera function to show the glyphs on screen but do not left click. Use the steam screenshot hotkey (F12 default) and save the image that way.
Some folks use print screen and paste it into an image editor and save it that way.

ok, I do have time
the main question I have is, what would I need to bring, besides the basics mentioned in the pins already, to help me on this redux? is it the same as the original corvette expedition?
I lost the echo locator bc of full inventory...what should I do now...I cant finish phase 3
you shoudn't've been able to claim any rewards if your inventory was full, it would block you from doing so, it's probably hidden at the bottom of your inventory or in your ship cargo somewhere
hello
may i ask why is the ship from my main save isn't copiable during the expedtion, it even displayin the ship name i does not own...
the ship being copied (and MT) are the active ships on the main save, if you return to primary save, you can change it & it should appear correctly
i'm bored, anyone need hitchhiking?
since you are there, may i?
sure, also you can't copy your ship into the corvette expedition, only when finished
not working
my mainshp doesn't allowed to be copy to expedition save
because you can't for this expedition
oh, ok
i actually start playing in expedtion 19 so didn't know about that, cool
even if my main save own a corvette?
you can save your corvette from the expedition once you complete it tho
ok, so how do i find you for hitchhiking
prety sure there isn't any kiki,
added, thank
oh right, forgot about that, only corvette ships can be copied (iirc)
now send me yours, or just join me if you can
DX4M-YW5Y-FSBF0
here's mine
really wish NMS allowed pasting, hopefully LNF will have it
alot of gameplay element are ductaped with hope and dream
wait me abit, will join section
let's meet at anomaly then?
maybe it is best to met on anomaly
lmao desync again?
Could someone please help me? I'm on the derelict freighter and I think it's bugged...
I'm in the quarters, I use the terminal, but it doesn't complete the quest checkpoint
also scanning with F doesn't show anything
I walk out the area and
i don't think you need it, just go to the final room still count as a clear
you need to do all of it, if it's bugged out, your best bet is to just do it again
you're supposed to find that one first and use the pass credentials you find from one of the logs to get it, if you're unable to get it, it might be due to lack of credentials (so find logs until you get some) or something else bugged because you're not meant to access the other zones or captain's log/engineering unit until after obtaining the crew manifest
if you put your emergency signal scanner in your refiner befopre entering the freighter it doesnt use it up
How do I start it again?
leave like normal, find a new one
OK thank you
As soon as I left the mission told me to sell the crew manifest on the space station 😕
then maybe it's bugged and you do have it?
It's definitely bugged.... On the space station now and there are invisible people I need to speak to:
save, close & restart game
Is it normal that you can't transfer things from Expedition save to main one?
Some things cant be fransfered like pet eggs.
But usual things like modules , minerals tech should be transferable
The techs should go in the top row
What are the rewards for each phase in current redux?
Damn it. Apologies to any passengers on the maiden flight out of the Anomaly of the Spacebistro Yumyum 3000, you're dying in the void because my game crashed. Please accept this voucher for 10% off any domestic draught beer with a name starting with a vowel as compensation.
such a nice traveller 🙂
How many salvage data does it cost to unlock the byte beat machine, assuming you have nothing from that tree? The bistro is lacking ambience.
It's also lacking atmosphere but that's because it has no roof so the air got sucked out, but sure your suit will make up the difference.
22 if save beacon (top level) isnt unlocked
Quick question.. do youu get to keep all the corvette parts?
in the expedition I mean?
Hello. Can anyone help to complete phase 4 stage 4 of Corvette expedition?
If you send them back through the expedition computer, sure. Or stick them all to your corvette and import that back to main.
What's the milestone?
Hitchhiking?
Need to have a ride on someone's Corvette
It's optional
But
Go to the Anomaly with multiplayer on
Get on another corvette.
Hold on tight
I'm at the anomaly
Karmically speaking, first go to the anomaly and wait for someone to board your corvette, then take off. When the game loads, get out of your chair and ensure they're on board before you fly off. Then fly.
After a minute or two, go back to the anomaly and board someone else's corvette and hope they pay it forward.
It's very easy to glitch out of the corvette you're hitchhiking on. Just spacewalk back to it and hope they got out of their chair....
👍
There may be an accepted set of gestures you can do to communicate your intentions but as a lifelong Fonzarian I only ever do thumbs up.
HHAAAHAA i had to reread twice - i was reading it as forza, but no its Fonz hehe
if you're having problems with glitchy corvettes, try going to a space station in a system where there's a rendezvous station, that worked for me 👍
Man, the Azimuth reactor is awesome - no more recharging launch thrusters for me 🙂
Anyone up for hitchhiking? I’m at the Anomaly right now and I’m looking to hitch hike, happy to reciprocate
heyyee
i get so side tracked i have beat up on freighters to the point i have 15-18 salvage freighter modules
i shoulsds be finish the excpo
oh my so we cant pick up ships - so what happens is the best A & S classes land every time I park in a station
just gotta let them go 😄
yea but..
Yeah during the expedition all ship purchases are banned
I keep trying to hitchhike but I’m just glitching out of ships so I’m running around like a lot lizard
@granite creek
Same issue there too. The ships dock on top of each other in the same spot so I’m inevitably on the wrong one
Ships come in... I board... Then they leave the expedition and disappear...
I feel like Otis Redding....
On the plus side, running on to a ship counts a tiny bit. I'm up to 0.02 units of the 7000 goal!
Finally had a random person ferry me. If anyone still needs the achievement while I’m on please DM me and I’ll try to help.
that's nice of you 🙂
i think hes busy
7000u is a lot further than I thought it'd be. Thanks Entity Dad! For the lift and for having the good manners to summon your ship and offer to reciprocate. Hope I didn't short change you.

The progress bar is brokeded
might have failed to connect to server maybe
why in the world is there a gazillion bases on the first planet? can't put down a refiner
yeah its weak af.
i dug down as far as i could and headed 8ku out on a walk.
theres a corevette lake hous or somthing i headed to.
also you can delete others bases by reporting them
sometimes you will have to dig to find the computer.
i was mad angry about it too.
You don't need the computer to report.
and we are not the only ones.
howw you report w/o base computer?
that would have been useful haha
didnt know you could report like that.
Or so BK keeps telling me.
but HG really fucked up the start of that one for sure.
was it like that the first time i wonder.
yeah, just open quick menu (X or dpad down; the menu we can use to recharge our stuff or call our ship for example), then scroll all the way right, there will be a report base action (multiple bases might be close enough to report) @odd hatch
lit\
i am nearly done with exp now. rather quick one imo
yep

are we able to get this milestone currently?
yes - once you've done all the other stuff, go to a station and interact with the overseer at the back to reset Traveler/Sentinel relations
might need to ensure discovery services is on and the task is selected, so it knows it's at 100%
my last obj in expedition is damn plants
how long would it take?
yeah i missed the info in the building screen... i guess tomorrow i would finish expedition...
frostwort will take 12min to grow, regardless of what the description says (1h)
good to know when i left
well
gonna ask this again cause it prob got lost in the chat and/or I sent it when most people weren't online
yeah pretty much the same objectives, just a little easier. in addition, bring 2-3 s-class hyperdrive modules to help with getting from rdv to rdv
It's pretty much the same as the original corvette one; you only need to fish 3 random fish instead of 7 etc etc the distances are longer for the rendezvous points like BK said
alright, thank you!
Given how quickly you pivot to flying a corvette and never needing to get out of the ship ever again, no harm bringing some carbon, oxygen and sodium along. Especially if you plqn to build a small flying bistro - those mood lights eat up your sodium reserves.
But the s class hyperdrive mods was the best tip I got. If you listen to nothing else listen to that. Was just lucky finding a few along the long, long 6-8 jump trips between rdv1 and 2
Hey guys
Can so
Eone explain how this expedition thing works?
Im a pretty new player

Expedition Info
Game mode explained:
Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.
To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future
Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players (
) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

i hate this moon
i’m stuck in stage 2 - rendevous 2- where do I go? I keep getting ancient ruins locations but where is the rendevous? I went to the place and entered the glyphs but am stuck
i got to a downed sentinel ship and dont know how to move on from there
resist 2 system is quite a bit away from resist 1, see image
resist 3->resist 4 will also be similar, even larger of a gap
remember, stacking s-class hyperdrive modules will help a lot, can stack up to 3 - space station of starter system has s-class hyperdrive module for sale, one of the corvette reactors also gives warp range. with 3 s-class modules and 1 of those reactors i got just shy of 1.3K LY range, and that was just enough to make it from resist 3 to resist 4 in one jump
how can i find the starter system?
Should be on the space teleport list
oh/ what is the name?
idk about y'all but i think my start system is Alaggn
System: Alaggn
😛
It's literally in the Pinned Messages in this channel and i'm thankful for the people that continuously put it there
i know - but when you first get in even after a while you don't have the rhythms
Grave of the ocean king in space gives nothing but the low rarity treasure?
How am I supposed to get copper if I don’t have edit permissions where any of the copper is
Nevermindi found one
tysm! I went back and nabbed the s class hyperdrive. Awesome!!👏
tiny
(forgot to post these when i encountered them but i kept seeing weirdly small starships during the expedition)
Expedition 19 was too short or too easy to complete, but glad They are going back thru them, I really started playing NMS on my pc and don't have all the expedition stuff like I do on Xbox or playstation
One thing though I wanted to save a blueprint of the ship I made in that expedition but it didn't let me 😞
anyone know what these things are
you might be able to scan them as a plant or mineral, otherwise they're just random decorative stuff because you're on a "weird" biome planet
are the optional missions in the corvette expedition worth it?
I'm tryna go to bed but not sure since I beat everything else if I should go back or not
guys what benefits are there fo owning a freighter?
you have the time to do them, I'd go for it
there are many benefits, such as ship storage, frigates/frigate expeditions that can earn you money/materials/valuable items/upgrades/etc, freighter base as a mini base you can summon basically anywhere, and more, but you can't take a freighter from expedition to main save, so find one or get one in main save instead
i was exlporing a exosuit upgrade and a freighter was marked on my radar, then i went in it and talked to the captain adn was presented with an option to buy it
you may want to discuss this in a different channel then, this channel is for the expedition reduxes happening, but the first freighter you save from pirates is free, so don't waste units trying to buy one
ahh my bad i will ask in the questions channel,
Freighters are quite literally mobile bases - you can keep your stuff in there, and when you get the needed upgrade can easily put excess stuff in your inventory into one of your freighter storage bits (provided the capital ship is in the same system as you). It should also be noted that you can take a Pirate Freighter as your capital ship btw, got an A-Class myself and named it "The Void Leviathan"
are there frieghter upgrades too? like for storage and all
Yes
And what's fun is that once you build the matter transporter device, freighter's cargo slots are always accessible
Do you mean the storage containers you can actually build like you can in a planetary base? And yes, you can build the interior of your capital ship with rooms and corridors and everything. For more space in the basic inventory bit, you'll need bulkhead what-cha-ma-call-its - its the capital ship equivalent to the starship and multi-tool slot expanders
To unlock more stuff, you'll need to find salvaged frigate modules, which can be gained from doing missions at stations, the anomaly, or the mission radar on your corvette, or you can sometimes find them at crashed freighters on planets or in direlect freighters in space iirc
And you can also get them sometimes when your frigates return from expeditions if they happened to find any
ALSO, if you happen across Psychonic Eggs or Spawning Sacs, don't get rid of them if you intend to get a bio-ship later on - which you'll need quicksilver to get the egg at the quicksilver place on the anomaly in order to start the questline for it. Don't worry, the mission board on the anomaly always has one mission that rewards 400 or so quicksilver, with missions on weekends giving 1800
Especially spawning sacs, they are stupidly rare
ohh ok
frigate modules is also how u get new frigates right?
no no no, thats how you unlock the upgrades, such as the ones to make it capable of going to red/green/blue/purple stars (don't worry about purple stars yet, its an endgame thing). You can get new frigates by hiring them from freighters you happen across in your travels (with pirate dreadnaughts after you take them down providing raiders you can hire for combat expeditions). Frigate modules are literally just to unlock new stuff you can install into your freighter to improve it such as one that makes you able to teleport items to and from it's inventory, or the ones that increase its hyperdrive range. I must also inform you that you can only ever have 1 capital ship at a time, meaning you can't have several like you can have several starships or frigates. You're not stuck with one forever, you just switch to the new one you're wanting (which you'll need to manually move upgrade modules and inventory items from your old one to the new one - otherwise you'll lose them)
I'm not a master here like some people, but I know my way around some things cause I played NMS almost religiously on my switch 1 before I moved over to my PS5 when I found out that 1) I had been missing out loads of pre-existing content such as the settlements (Switch NMS lacked that feature to the game along with multiplayer) and 2) any future updates wouldn't be available for Switch 1 players after one of the updates before the corvette update (which was what prompted me to buying it on my PS5 when I saw it was also on sale)
Just a tad, you are only being boiled, not roasted
I have no clue, I don't keep track of those
I can check when I get back to my computer
why did you feel the need to specify "for the mission"?
What other reason could there be....?
Oh god! No!
(left the switch at home so can't oblige you I'm afraid)
having fun
I finished my expedition but if you can get in one or even get stuck on top of a corvette it counts as well
Bittersweet ending to my expidition 19. I didn't get to take the egg back to my normal save 🙁
You never do. But the Quicksilver guy can hook you up.
Nice, thanks]
Are the rewards for this expedition any different this time around or identical to the first time it was released?
They're the exact same
How long does an expedition last each cycle?
I need to pickup the pace with this 1 week old save

got to this expedition late, and wow, the base computer situation is WILD. 1 hour in and I'm still walkin to set down a refiner.
Noted. ty
you can also dismantle the broken starter ship's rocket launcher for free no-refining chromatic metal iirc
or so i heard anyways. i was lucky in that i started early before the planet got littered
we can't directly transfer from corvette workshop cache to expedition terminal right Edit: Nope. gotta clear inventory
Anyone else having issues finding lush and verdant planets for milestones?
i visited a flourishing moon Lonwick Delta in one of the expedition systems. it's not called verdant/lush but it counts towards the milestone
Sweet thank you!
dismantling RL would give 100 copper and 50 condensed carbon 🙂
I know this was a few hours ago, but i had the same issue last night. Went back to the location my crashed star ship was & it let me build no issue
oyeah i was thinking of copper not chromatic metal. whoops sorry for the misleading
three suns?
space
any temps hotter than this
Is it wrong to report someone's base so it despawns for me if they just built a floating base over top of a deposit I need?
also why does everyone just leave their portable refiners and stuff littering starting spot of an Expedition lol. I need to remember to start these sooner so there's more real estate and less mess lol
nope, just despawns it for you (may need to save+reload after)
(yeah i prefer to keep it as clean for others as i've found it but cant really blame others for having fun and often genuinely be trying to help)
Yeah it's just not that hard to pick stuff up lol
Had to run 10 minutes from my ship just to place portable refiner. Guess what I will be picking up when I'm done with it? My portable refiner lol.
that sort of thing (and also the swarms of waypoints) is why i now only play the game with it not having access to the online discovery service
I like seeing other players in Expeditions to a degree, but it's also causing me a lot of lag this time so I can see why turning it off might be better.
people are putting bases next to copper deposits so that people cant progress the expedition
That's what it seemed like to me too. I just reported a base build on top of copper deposit so I could get to it.
oh i just have to do that?
but do u think they would just put the base computer underground?
Seems like the best/fastest way yes
I reported thru my quickmenu
you don't need access to the base computer to report a base, for problems like this
Are like all planets Aggressive Sentinels in this Expedition?
yes
oof lol
Dwarfed?
You are suppsed to use anomaly detector for that objective, not echo locator
But echo locator is used for another milestone iirc
You were supposed to get one from a milestone objective
If you didn't lift the seal on a harmonic camp, do that, that milestone should award an anomaly detector
If you did that milestone already, then shooting asteroids in space should rarely yield one anomaly detector
Sorry, got it slightly confused, the echo locator is for reclaimed weaponry milestone, the one that yields anomaly detector is under their noses, or at least should be
Yes, I am looking at the 2 hour guide released a few days ago, one of the milestones gives anomaly detector
What about the advanced milestones?
Check the corvette parts you got for rewards, I think there are a few reactors in there
If not, buy medusa reactors from the terminal
All ship purchases are disable during this expedition
