nms-expedition

[glossy flame]

I don't think we can even build a second corvette

[little torrent]

To prevent players from simply cheesing their way to the end, standard starships of any kind are unobtainable.

The expedition is about Corvettes after all.

[plucky belfry]

what system again

[glossy flame]

It's only for the expedition, everything return to normal afterwards

[glossy flame]

It's labelling the name of the system that your frigates are visiting, I think it's generally flavor, but you could check on them from your command terminal if they didn't return to your freighter on time, that's a sign of they are looking for your decision on a certain event

[last crown]

What the heck there were so many bases on the starting world I couldn't find a spot to put a pc

[muted river]

Wooohoo, only one mission left ^_^

[silk jasper]

What should I do with these fireworks just sell them?

[last crown]

Does a Corvette count as a base for base PC purposes

Also is the projectile for the Corvette's photon cannon bugged graphically? It's coming from every direction except the cannon

[remote thunder]

no, you can have 400 base computers and 12 corvettes (and 1 freighter base) if you wanted

[last crown]

Oh I meant in regards to placements

I couldn't place a base PC just outside the vehicle

[remote thunder]

the vehicle, meaning, your corvette ship?

[warm gyro]

Ok Exp q and a chat now lol

[remote thunder]

you know how it is, always feel free to ask when you're feeling stuck

[silk jasper]

How can you have 12 corvettes I thought you could only have like 6 starships or something.

[remote thunder]

they bumped that limit quite a while back. we can have up to 12 active ships, + 18 archived ships once we own a freighter (cannot archive corvettes though, so really just up to 12 corvettes, same as the max number of active ships)

[silk jasper]

Oh gotchya, I've been selling ships as I get close to 6 just to make sure I have room haha

[remote thunder]

yeah, you can have a few more. personally, i always try to stick to whatever the current active ship max is minus 1. that's so i always have a free ship slot for impulse buys and ship scrapping sessions.

[teal pelican]

Proud to say I've completed my first ever expedition

This mecha companion is awesome

[silk jasper]

Nice this will be my 3rd, they are fun.

[remote thunder]

congratulations! and happy holidays!

[teal pelican]

I went in there expecting to uncover cool corvette modules but the things I got were also just as great

[wanton frigate]

well, it's a redux so it was never going to be new the second time around, but the only limit to how many parts you could uncover was how long you wanted to spend hovering around shooting at the ground and bouncing back to orbit to empty your inventory when it filled.

[teal pelican]

This exact expedition happened before?

[wanton frigate]

all the 2 week expeditions over christmas are re-runs of the previous year's expeditions (which tend to run for about a month, 6 weeks) with the addition this year of Beachhead which was a redux of a redux of an older one, for everyone who didn't own a Switch 2. What, me? Bitter???

[teal pelican]

That's great, I'll definitely be looking forward to future expeditions. The stuff I saw during my stay was really fascinating

[wanton frigate]

they are great. Unless you ever wanted to play other games, in which case they're a curse that keeps dragging you back every couple of months and ruining your flow in other worlds 😄

[last crown]

Yeah that's what I meant. Sorry, I just woke up

[leaden glen]

FFS people building bases over copper deposits...

[frozen laurel]

You can use the report base option from the quick action menu and the base will disappear for you.

[leaden glen]

Uh. I did it earlier and the base was still there. I had to quit, but I'll try again tonight, thanks!

[brittle maple]

About to do the expedition what all stuff do i carry?

[remote thunder]

check pinned posts in this channel, i'd also suggest bringing 2-3 s-class hyperdrive modules to make it from rdv to rdv in one warp/increased efficiency

[brittle maple]

Okay

[remote thunder]

@brittle maple this is the pinned post i was referring to, <#nms-expedition message> - what basic mats to bring

[brittle maple]

Thank you i was searching searching

[brittle maple]

Why does it say no edit permission when I try to build portable refiner?

[remote thunder]

too close to another player base - via on foot quick menu, you can report other player bases, making them despawn from your game. after that save+reload first if you still cant build

[brittle maple]

Can I get to anomaly without repairing my ship

[last crown]

Any unique items I can't get outside this expedition?

[slim ridge]

yeah, I think the deadeye cannon, the mecha-mouse companion, and then a couple trails, decals, and posters

[last crown]

Ah thanks!

[brittle maple]

I'm so screwed

I can't find my ship on the compass

In the middle of no where

[remote thunder]

slow down, it should be there. double check that scanner and analysis visor are working on multitool - use your visor as well

[brittle maple]

There's too many bases

Is there a better idea?

I've been walking around for quite a while now

I somehow placed it

[remote thunder]

going completely offline is a bit of a nuclear option, but it would ensure no other player bases get downloaded

(dont forget turning it back on though)

[brittle maple]

Sigh, I think i should do that

Cant mine deposits

[remote thunder]

dismantle rocket launcher for 100 copper and 50 condensed carbon, refine copper to cmetal, craft orbital uplink, done

[low heath]

will expedition 20 come back like 19 did? I missed it by a week and saw there were a lot of cool parts i didn't get

[brittle maple]

I see, thank you

[remote thunder]

yeah, it'll run after exp19 redux ends, see next post from gunter

thank goodness I was super disappointed after seeing it was over

[brittle maple]

Yikes

This is just too hard

[remote thunder]

lots of good tips in this post <#nms-expedition message>, and the ones after it. you could also look up a video guide on youtube, but remember that this is the redux (different area of the galaxy, diff planet names than the original run earlier this year) of exp19. same milestones, same objectives as the original run, just a bit easier.

@brittle maple always feel free to ask, here or in #nms-questions , if those pinned posts dont help. also, hyperdrive range and efficiency will help a lot in exp19 redux - starter system space station has s-class hyperdrive module for sale, save+reload restocks upgrade module shops

[brittle maple]

I mean im just running around trying to find copper

And it says can't edit

I just want get to anomaly

They need to seriously do something about this

Dismantling rocket launcher wont work for some reason

[tropic quarry]

I have to start this one over because I had no idea that I had to start it from the Anomaly (or that expeditions could be started there) and now none of my stuff from the expedition can be moved to my main save

Having to deal with people building on top of copper deposits AGAIN is gonna suck unless I cut NMS off from the Internet

[brittle maple]

I should have done that

[brittle maple]

I can't summon the anomaly in the expedition?

[tender tusk]

You can't until you jump 1 system; this standard for expeditions

[brittle maple]

hehe i thought i knew the V systemand needed the pins i had them up - i was hmm thinmking outloud

now why can't i travel from my pirate freighter to a pirate station even with a pos standing of 537

[wraith junco]

Pirate stations are disconnected from regular teleport network

[signal igloo]

it would seem yes

ima go see if there are Expeditionists in the lfg channel i guess. like to share a ride before turning this in

[muted river]

I need help!

I finished the expedition last night (I completed all the mission and collected the rewards).

I DID NOT go to the expedition terminal and press "end expedition".

I got on today and continued playing in my expedition save and started doing some side quests. Then I went to the expedition terminal to start transferring my inventory but it says this expedition has ended and doesn't give me the option to transfer my stuff over!

I never pressed anything saying "end expedition" so why is it acting like I did. I didn't even visit the terminal until about 30 minutes ago. I didn't think to make a backup on my PC so all I have is the current game save and the primary save I started playing on.

I don't know what happened or what to do but I need help! 😓😢

[brittle maple]

I got on today and continued playing in my expedition save and started doing some side quests.
at this point it still was an expedition save, still had an expedition tab, you could see claimed milestones etc - you're absolutely positive?

Then I went to the expedition terminal to start transferring my inventory but it says this expedition has ended
so just to be clear, you started this expedition character from the anomaly?

and doesn't give me the option to transfer my stuff over!
sounds like you've already been returned to primary char then, forcefully. cant really see a reason why game would say exp19 redux has ended, when there's still 7 days left. did you change your system clock or something to a week from now?

not trying to doubt or anything, just making sure of the troubleshooting basics.

[inland crescent]

Deadeye Cannon "features a single, rifled barrel" .... yea, ok.

[blazing bobcat]

does anyone know where a paradise planet is at that you can invite me to your server so i can start making a base please and thank you!

[atomic estuary]

When you ask something, ask in one channel and be patient. Don't copy-paste messages, or you will trip a spam filter.

This channel is for expedition-related chatter.

[ripe holly]

What type of corvette modules increase maneuverability?

[silk jasper]

What's the easiest/best way to take apart a corvette and rebuild it? My exosuit inventory can't carry all the parts I have on the corvette right now I think. Just take some apart, save it (but keep reactor and stuff on), store those pieces in corvette storage, then finally take it all apart?

[tulip swallow]

if you go back to the expedition terminal on a normal save, you have the option of copying your multitool and starship
this also means you can make infinite corvette parts

[tulip swallow]

just throw everything into the corvette cache tbh, its a lot of space otherwise

[tulip swallow]

should just be engines and thrusters? im not too sure

i mean you could, portaling back is always an option

[brittle maple]

So where do I get an echo locator?

[silk jasper]

Well I don't think it will let me do that if I can't carry it all. Example:

I have 50 different pieces on my corvette, but don't have that many spots open in my exosuit. I can't just poof all those parts while modifying at corvette terminal, then put them in cache.... because I can't just back out of that terminal if I can't carry all those parts on my exosuit first.

That's why I feel like there must be a better way.

Also what happens to my items in my storage modules on my corvette... they just stay in that storage number until I build that storage # again?

Like if I try to delete parts on my corvette it says I don't have exosuit space.

[tulip swallow]

you should be able to tho, itll shove parts into the ship then into cache if your exosuit is full

[silk jasper]

oh ok I'll try

[brittle maple]

Nvm figured it out

[prisma tundra]

if you set the multi-tool as your primary one (you can switch in quick menu) then yes, you can copy it back to your primary save

[prisma tundra]

then at that point, back out of modifying, shove modules into cashe, and go back into the workshop to delete more parts

[glossy flame]

were you in a corvette?

if you were, then it's a known issue, leaving your corvette abruptly ends the freighter saving mission, and you have to buy the freighter instead

[maiden zephyr]

Is there anyone willing to give me a ride in their corvette? It's just 7k units
I just need to complete the expedition quest
(Completed)

[fringe dawn]

Does the corvette parts storage carry over after I finish the expedition? Or do I need to use / sell all parts if I don't want them to be wasted?

[frozen laurel]

Storage contents do not auto transfer to your previous save.

[fringe dawn]

Thank you!

[signal igloo]

you'll get a value from all the inventories if you wanted to use them in main save you would choose to transfer them at the end.

[winter bane]

Online rn and I'd need that 7000u corvette-sharing uber ride for the expedition quest. Anyone available?
I'll do the same in exchange for the quest 🥳

[wanton frigate]

Sorry, can't right now but just remember, when you get your 7000u, announce it by saying thanks cause your driver can't turn to see you. Don't just dive off the back of their corvette and spacewalk into the sun while the cool drum-heavy expedition end music plays!
Once they stop, dive off into the sun, by all means, but summon your corvette and park it conveniently close to your driver's so they can board and get 7000u from you.

(I'm still suffering from "sundiver's guilt" from the first time around 😉 )

[winter bane]

Got it. That's what I mean with "I'll do the same".
Helping who helped me first 🥳

[wanton frigate]

You say that now. When the drums start, your good intentions go out the window. And so do you!

[winter bane]

Did any iteration of El_fauston ever treated any iteration of Nunberry wrong? Damn, feels like I'm already guilty for something I haven't done 🥲
I swear my intentions are good 🥲

[wanton frigate]

What? No, this is me confessing to how I ended Corvettes the first time around!

[remote thunder]

[tropic quarry]

Wait, that's why? I thought it was an expedition thing.

[wanton frigate]

Worth bearing in mind though, if you don't have a freighter and you just saved one and you landed in a corvette, while the dialogue is wrong they still sell it to you for nothing.

[rare cove]

I am having a terrible time finding a pirate controlled system. It’s almost like that phase of the expedition is intentionally void of what you need to progress.

[wanton frigate]

Stupid question but are you using the conflict scanner?
If yes, are you filtering the star map by conflict level and then using free look to examine red stars for the words "pirate controlled"?
If yes, did you buy a few s class hyperdrive upgrades so you can cover maybe 7-11 hundred LY per jump making it more likely that there's a pirate system in range?

If no to any of the above -
You got a conflict scanner / blueprint from a milestone. Install it. If you have no room, go to a station and uninstall something like a reactor or landing gear, save, build the scanner in the slot you just freed up and then add the thing you took off back on in the corvette workstation.
On the star map, you'll see a filter option, think the key is the up/down button for build/options. Set it to conflict and then rowdy stars go red. Not all red stars are pirate controlled, expand and check for the magic words.

[tropic quarry]

Oh. Noted. But will anything carry over to my main save?

[wanton frigate]

The feeling of pride you get from being a hero?

Not the freighter, that's for sure

[tropic quarry]

Well, then I won't bother boarding them after saving them

[wanton frigate]

You know what else doesn't carry over? Your reputation. 😈

And they won't see it coming!

[last crown]

I went back to the first world of the expedition on my main save. How are there several bases within less than 50u of each other yet I couldn't find a spot on the planet too put a base when I played

Also the dissonant for planet in the system... Isn't outside of the expedition?

[tender tusk]

Because Players are spamming bases on start points to harass players is why; which is pretty much griefing in my book.

If you want to put a base down on a non start point area to visit the planet again you can try getting the glyphs in photomode or check the pins to portal there later; put whatever platform you're on in offline mode and then start the game again and see if that helps

A System or planet that is Dissonant in Expedition can be normal outside of expedition from what i noticed and this can even extended to Multitools you discover in expedition. During the Relics expedition i got a A class multitool not because it had a good SC slot layout but because it had a near perfect x class scanning module and it was the same outside of the expedition

[last crown]

I see, so how did a bunch of bases end up close enough to each to basically make a small town?

[tender tusk]

No idea it's something for HQ to investigate if they get enough reports

[last crown]

That explains the S class multi tools I found that weren't S when I went back on my save

[tender tusk]

Yeah for Multitools it can vary wildly it seems

[cold ether]

how much longer do we have to finish Corvettes?

[vagrant mango]

Main screen says 6 days

[brittle elbow]

Is the expedition community goal reached yet?

[cold ether]

im on stage four looking for last rendevous

[tender tusk]

it was completed by end of day 2 or 3 so yes

[brittle elbow]

Gotcha, thanks.

[tender tusk]

selecting resist 5 milestone in the expedition tab should lead you to the system / space station if not it's in the pinned messages

ahh

[gusty meadow]

Or space stations

Somewhere common people park

[cold ether]

how do i find combat supply barrels on dissonant planet?

[ripe holly]

If you jump from you corvette and fall for 40s, how do you get back?

[gusty meadow]

Recall your ship from quick menu. Hopefully the area is flat enough ot have water landing gear.

[ripe holly]

Thanks! So I need to do it from Orbit and not just in space?

[gusty meadow]

Either. Do space walk to halo jump

[ripe holly]

Thanks

[gusty meadow]

[signal igloo]

i had just gotten up from the pilot chair and lost all the ships that i thought were there but i was spammin the get up button before i saw the battle

[cold ether]

ok. how do I get the sentinel quads to spawn?

i wanna go get that sentinel ship!

[tropic quarry]

Piss off the corrupted sentinels, hunt resonators

[signal igloo]

i am more than a little sad - the basilisk crown blocks the reticle in 1st person mode

reLLY interferring with my flow

[cold ether]

ok. i am trying to dive into space while piloting and the clock starts then stops?? why wont it work?

[leaden glen]

If I can't still mine resource that have a (now reported) base plopped on it... Do I have to wait for the permission to mine appear?

Kind of tired running around for copper only to find it unavailable because of bases...

[tender tusk]

Since i can see you're on PC you may want to go into offline mode, start the game, get the materials you need on the starting planet, and then you can turn it back on when you get to the space station.

Some players are being jerks and just putting bases every where

[leaden glen]

Yeah I think that MF put its base under the damn copper patch. I'll go the offline mode way, thanks!

I just need to switch multiplayer off, right?

[tropic quarry]

No, you have to prevent the game from connecting to the Internet

Steam offline mode works

[tender tusk]

If you're on steam you need to restart steam in offline mode, multiplayer off just means you don't see players but their bases will still affect your save; you can even block No mans sky in the Windows firewall temporarily to make it not connect and try that as well.

But offline mode has to be done before startinh the game so other players bases don't spawn in

[leaden glen]

I finally found a patch where reporting the base got me the access to the patch back.

Insane how people are jerks.

[wraith junco]

Most likely its bc they dont know it affects pepole

[rare cove]

I have the conflict and economy scanners installed, and I looked around at the systems and I just could find one. I’ll make another jump and see what’s around the next system.

[wanton frigate]

Luck of the draw I guess, but at the risk of being a patronising bore do try to boost your warp range and ensure you're filtering by conflict to narrow that search down and boost your odds.

[winter bane]

Hi Voyagers, how do I find a planet by just knowing its name and system?
I kinda want to go back to a planet visited in one of the last expedition cause I wanna grab a yellow moth :3
But idk how to go back quickly 🙁 (yea, I don't have glyphs cause I didn't think about that)

[wraith junco]

If u know glyph address ask for taxi in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[tender tusk]

Depend on which expedition you might find it's portal gylphs in the pinned comments or you can search this channel using the search box to find the portal glyphs to there

[winter bane]

It was the Relic expedition.
Okay nvm I found out that adding the animal I want to the marvels in your catalog, it will display glyphs for the portal of that planet lol.
Thank you for your hint btw

[brave echo]

I can’t seem to attach anything to the right side of my first ship, is there a reason why?

[winter bane]

I didn't know the glyphs cause I didn't take a screenshot on that planet. But I found out that adding the that animal to the marvels in your in-game catalog it will display the glyphs of that planet. I didn't know that.
Ofc I have scanned that animal in order to be able to add that to the marvels.
(But I think reverse glyph-ing to go back to a specific place works with any of the planet, moon or fauna and rocks in a system 🥳 )

[muted river]

Yes, yes and no I didn't change the system clock. I still have all of my stuff (Corvette, multi-tool, freighter, and inventory items). Now it is showing up like my primary save. I have kept playing on this save since there was no way to transfer my stuff over.

[brave echo]

I figured out my issue

[brittle maple]

So my expedition is complete, how do I transfer items to main save

[spare cedar]

at the expedition terminal inside the expedition save.. place the items there.. then SWITCH to main save, and return to the terminal to extract.

[brittle maple]

I see

[spare cedar]

otherwise.. items that you earned in an expedition can ALSO be claimed by your main save at the Quicksilver vendor upon completion.

[brittle maple]

I am not able to place the items there

In the anomaly

Strange

[signal igloo]

you did start in the anomaly >

?

[brittle maple]

yes

[signal igloo]

phew

[signal igloo]

so, go back through tthe stages be sure you picked up the last one on the 6th tab too

[brittle maple]

what do u mean?

[signal igloo]

the corvette stocker is also a rewarxd

sticker

[brittle maple]

do i have collect all 5 phases rewards now?

[signal igloo]

go back to the exp tab

on menu

[brittle maple]

im there

[signal igloo]

starting at the top 1 page through making sure everthing is taken including the stage banners

[brittle maple]

even milestone rewards? i want to collect them all in main save

[signal igloo]

its easy to miss one - often folks miss the last one

maybe i am not qualkified for that glitch

[brittle maple]

i dont understand its glitched?

[signal igloo]

no no, i am not clear on how else to explain it

ima hang out in LFG

[brittle maple]

Let me check YouTube

[brittle maple]

For some reason it think my expedition is not over

[glossy flame]

Did you claim all of the milestone rewards?

[warm gyro]

so the jump for 40 seconds is another space walk or we have to fall through gravity?

[glossy flame]

Need to fall for 40 seconds

[warm gyro]

From how high up?

[glossy flame]

if you park your corvette just inside the atmosphere of a planet and jump, you have a few seconds of leeway

[warm gyro]

cool thankee kindly

[brittle maple]

no

do i have to do that

[tacit flame]

I started Expedition 19 by joining a friends game, now it is marked complete and when in anomoly expedition computer, it only says complete - no option to copy multi-tool, ship, or load tech and cargo.. my game automatically converted to another normal game save when I claimed the last milestone reward. I was able to claim just the egg and banners on my main normal save in the anomaly. any ideas how to merge games or transfer my ship from the other game??? or do I have to re-play the whole thing from my own main save..so confusing..

[glossy flame]

try doing that

[brittle maple]

i am doing that, hope it works

[glossy flame]

Did you join your friend's game by using expedition button in the game mode menu?

[tacit flame]

No not by useing the expedition button in the game mode menu, when I joined a friends game from the menu it automatically created an expedition game save

[glossy flame]

So your game save was marked as an expedition save that was different file from your main save?

[tacit flame]

yes

[glossy flame]

Then you are out of luck, in order for you to transfer item between your expedition game and your main save is to start expedition through the terminal on your main save

If the game explicitly made a separate file for your expedition from your main save, it's treated as different saves. The best you can do is use your friend's character as a mule: transfer all the items you want to your main save to him, then have them give those item back to you on your main save

[tacit flame]

I was afraid of that.. I just re-started playing for the first time since 2016 so we are just now learning all the new features. My friend didn't know how to put all his cargo in the anomaly computer either. He only got to keep the multi tool and ship as it was built but none of the corvette parts that were left in the corvette build workshop

the expedition transfer process is confusing.. 🙂

Thank you for sharing the info. Hey, I have 5 days left I could replay the expedition on my main.. but it was a great tutorial and learning experience to jump back into the gameplay.

[brittle maple]

about to copy over my expedition rewards to my main save 😆

[wanton frigate]

Is that the omelette you made when you cracked the mechaegg into a nutrient processor?

Also : merry SpaceChristmas!

[rotund nimbus]

Can I ask why people are putting bases on copper deposits on the first planet?

OH! I thought i was missing out on something in the expedition like put a base on a resource or something

[tropic quarry]

Well, got it done, transferred everything over, and now I have a very chunky corvette that has two floors and plenty of room for all the utilities and cargo it could need.

[long wasp]

Ok I seriously dont understand. What the f am I supposed to do with these salvaged frigate modules and freighter hull bits? I cant build either one of these types of ships in voyager as far as I know. I have no idea where to use them for research or anything. Every explanation is telling me to just go to the freighter research computer. YEAH WHERE IS THAT?!

[wanton frigate]

You get a freighter either by buying one or - much more likely - saving one from pirates and then answering their hail.
If you haven't saved one from pirates yet, play for around 3 hours and on something like your 5th warp you'll land in a dogfight.
If you're in a corvette, the dialogue where they ask you to take over the ship doesn't show up though.

[long wasp]

All I have is a corvette....where would I buy ine then?

[wanton frigate]

Pretend you're going to buy it. The first ones free. At least it was for me in this expedition

[long wasp]

From the guy I save?

Or somewhere else

[wanton frigate]

Post-spacebattle that is.
I never tried just approaching one that warps in and talking to them. Hundreds of hours in, there's always something new to try

[long wasp]

OK, one more question

How do I make sure my corvette is transferred back to the main save? I did all the badges, and my only option is to finalize or end the mission thibg

And I am afraid to press it and maybe lose my ship

[wanton frigate]

After the expedition, in the anomaly on the expedition computer there's a button to clone the ship. And another for the Multitool. Costs nanites but you ought to have plenty after the expedition.
Anyhoo, better stop avoiding family - Merry Christmas!

Oh, it clones the ship that was active. So if you had two, make sure the good one was active.
Also, you can leave the expedition from Options - Return to Primary, clone the ship,then resume expedition from the anomaly computer if you want to be sure nothing goes wrong

[long wasp]

Ooooh. Okidokie I was about to say on the voyager side of it I have neither button busy end expedition or return to primary save. I will assume the button is on the other side.

[wanton frigate]

What's 'the Voyager side'?
In the expedition - currently Corvette- you have End expedition, and you can guess what that does, it's a one way trip. But on the Options menu you can return to primary which temporarily leaves the expedition. Assuming you started the expedition from an existing save!

If you started this save as an Expedition, it converts to regular when it's done

[signal igloo]

in the terminus- if you don't complete the optional your choice of adding materials to the transfer is - hmm weird - i went out of my way and stowed away on someone's corvette to get the normal add items buttons to shw up... just what I saw...

it was cool too. it was in the resist V system there were tons of derelicts being ran, and he had just gotten back to their corvette, i just stood there and they jumped in the pilot seat and flew a bit then got out after I got the acheive and I uplinkd to the station. when I saw them on the station I tried sharing pie, but it said mode mis- match or version mismatch something I never saw before

[sharp walrus]

Hi, I’m new to the game and just finished the Corvette expedition. I transferred all my valuable stuff over when I was finished but then remembered I had a whole bunch of corvette parts in my corvette locker thing. Are these lost now?

[mortal shoal]

well damn

[rare cove]

I don’t believe it does, but you can transfer your expedition corvette to replace your first corvette (if you like it better).

[sharp walrus]

Dang it. It’s no big deal. Thanks for the reply

[rare cove]

Expeditions are basically starting over without starting a new game, and you get some perks, new multi-tool, and cosmetics. What’s nice is your old game is still there when you get back.

[sharp walrus]

Yeh I kinda figured it all out as I played just mad at myself for leaving all my good corvette parts behind

[trail pewter]

I'm bringing them with me, but at what cost?

[This is where I would show a picture of the monstrosity ship that's every part from the expedition slapped together, if I could share images here yet]

[mortal shoal]

huh there is no teleport pad on pirate stations

for corvettes

[weak bough]

when do the current expeditions end?

[rare cove]

The 31st. Then Breach redux starts.

[weak bough]

thank you 🙏 any reason to do that one again if I already did it?

[marsh brook]

Anyone got a list of the expeditiion releases for dec?

[mortal shoal]

how i am i suppost to land on derelict ship from the corvette

[marsh brook]

Look for the glowing area next to it, it's the same as you would with your Freighter

[mortal shoal]

ok so using the beam but that didnt gave me the option to use it the first time and ended up falling

[marsh brook]

maybe a glitch, you could always just stop above it and fly yourself down

[wraith junco]

@marsh brook thats all there is this year. We know nothing about 2026 expeditions.

[narrow grotto]

I honestly can't believe some of the choices they picked for the redux expeditions. I was really hoping they'd allow all these new players to pick up the atlas looking helmet etc, and I really really don't understand why they put an expedition we already did not too long ago instead of this much wanted expedition.

I'm baffled.

[signal igloo]

in the next redux there is a bunch of cool looking "Atlas-deco"-parts that become bulidible in blueprints

dec is winding down rapido

[sharp walrus]

Yup I just got into the game. Rushed to finish this expedition but definitely gonna play the next one

[wanton frigate]

Because that's what they do every year - rerun that years expeditions. BeachHead is an anomaly, having been rerun as a "classic" out of sequence, and it now having been done twice but as a Switch 2 player I'm very grateful they didn't run something I'd have missed out on in that period.

[narrow grotto]

Aaaah ok, I see. I'm still fairly new to this game myself, yet the thing I've been asked the most is about that expedition with the atlas stuff. Personally I was looking forward to these redux because I didn't know they replayed a recent expedition. I'm sure Hello games know that everyone wants the atlas stuff, so it just doesn't make sense that they'd not include it.

[wanton frigate]

If you're on PC there are ways and means. If not, it's just mean(s) 😁

[narrow grotto]

Yeah lol I've heard. I'm on xbox, and to be honest I'm a little too paranoid to use any of the work around. I'd rather they just release the expedition with the atlas rewards, and I think a hell of a lot of people would agree.

[tropic quarry]

On PC, you grab a copy of a text file the game uses to determine what expedition is active, and then cut the game off from the internet before launching. When launched normally, the game gets this file from HG's servers.

I haven't tried it myself, I've gotten what I want from the corvette one and now I'm waiting for the next one so I can get the cool 'vette parts. Probably not gonna bother with the other expeditions.

[warm gyro]

corvette mission I got dragged into save a ship lol. I was inviterd to come aboard the freighter and thanked:) I can`t land into the 3 landing dock blue entrances

[remote thunder]

answered in #nms-questions

[cold ether]

how do you do that?

[wanton frigate]

From the looks of it, close your eyes and mash a lot of buttons 😉
(Cloning ships though is done from the Expedition computer, paying nanites, when the expo is done)

[remote thunder]

• expedition phase and final expedition rewards are always unlocked account wide
• when started from existing save, player is allowed use of expedition terminus inventory slots, to bring both items into expedition, and out from expedition character back to primary (but only when all non optional milestones, phase and final rewards are claimed)

[signal igloo]

during the expedition i scored a wonderful royal S class. and while I was wrapping it up, I was able to make the copy of the tool before ending the expedition completely

what are peoples thoughts on running an expedition from a PD run?

[remote thunder]

well, the expedition character will have its own set of difficulty settings, totally independent from the existing character. otoh, i guess it could certainly be an opportunity to play with non permadeath players, and bring back some stuff

[signal igloo]

my biggest fret is will my inv be hindered

i dont plan on over profiting from it - lol

uhh is this scripted or did I just get a ridiculously good roll

[atomic estuary]

Good roll

[coarse charm]

oh nice

[wanton frigate]

I can see why it was banned 😉

[cold ether]

cant find chart to plot find outlaw station- says im in right systems but cant do smuggling cargo

under their noses HELP?

[teal pelican]

I actually got two of these, every time I scan something I get minimum 10k units

[wanton frigate]

If it's a pirate controlled station, the space station is where you buy the goods. If it's not a jerry rigged hell hole with an illicit good dealer towards the back right, it's not a pirate station.

So move on!
Buy a bunch of grah grah, nip nip and splonk splonk or whatever they've got and sell it elsewhere

Except for splonk splonk, I made that up

[cold ether]

nm- i had to go free explore to find a pirate station

[odd hatch]

ahh yo, do allt hese vette modules transfer to main save?

or was this mostly a waste of time?

[covert kernel]

oh that is very nice

[covert kernel]

if you install them all on the ship they'll go back. your corvettew ill just be very ugly for the interim

[odd hatch]

mehhh not nearly as exciting as i was hoping but done!

[wanton frigate]

You can transfer them back over a few trips - move them to suit inventory, fill the expoputer, options -> return to main, empty the expoputer, resume, repeat.
But Esotericists method is quicker and more fun.
And only time and the fragility of man is stopping you doing both.

[odd hatch]

eh it seems like a pretty obvious thing that should jsut get transfered to the cvette parts box.

if i didnt ask i would have left them there and assumed they would transfer

[little torrent]

Getting all 3 scan bonuses at over 10,000% is a god-tier roll.

[odd hatch]

this my first egg

[little torrent]

Scan radius is optional. It just helps you find basic resources nearby.

[odd hatch]

but it dont transfer to main?

[coarse charm]

yeah I looked at the ranges on the wiki and then just assumed it was guaranteed for this expedition or something at first

[versed gulch]

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right channel for it, but could i get some quick help for riding aboard someones corvette

For the mission?

[median fjord]

yep

can you help me kill the waves of sentinels

please

[versed gulch]

yes

How do we join each other?

I am a little new to the game as well

[tender tusk]

You have to make sure multiplayer in on in options > network settings (note turen off PVP while're there ) and you should be able to see people and their ships at stations etc in the expedition so no need to join them.

You can ask for a ride if you're on pc and can type or have voice chat enabled; you can o this at space stations of the anomaly or just ride on top of or inside of another players corvette.

You can then get out or off their corvette and re summon yours via the quick menu

[versed gulch]

Thanks!

Is there any way for me to keep all the expedition rewards?

[tender tusk]

For phase rewards they will be at the Quicksilver vendor when you go back to your main save if you started from your main save.

If you started a Expedition save it'll turn to a normal save at the end of the expedition and you have access to everything and the phase rewards at the quicksilver vendor

If you want to take more back then the end expedition terminal lets you at the end you can use this guide to help you do that
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3572414902

[versed gulch]

ahh okay i ended it rip

maybe next time

thanks

[cold ether]

Anyone try to get the sentinel
ship and have it keep resetting itself ? I have gotten the harmonic brain and have all the components but when I board the sentinel it opens the starship cargo and components but when I click to add what I have it doesn’t respond. Then it sends me back to get the brain again.

[tender tusk]

You can't on this Expedition it specifically for Corvettes and any ship buying is blocked just like the first time it was ran when Corvettes were introduced

Anyone on switch 2 found a way to finish that bugged mission on phase 1? This was the only expedition I missed and its not looking like I'm gonna get to finish it now

last i've heard about this was that it automagically fixed itself cc @jagged sedge (happy holidays to you both btw :)) )

[jagged sedge]

😁

[candid fossil]

Oh nice I haven't had a chance the last few days to play. I will get on soon and hopefully finish the expedition then 🙂 thankyou

[wanton frigate]

Can confirm, it's been fine since Travellin' Billy called it last week - no patch download needed. However that kind of suggests it's server side so if it's not working for you, you might need to wait for a more office-y day. Stephen's day is not such a day.

[candid fossil]

It worked fine this time 🙂

[dim hamlet]

Is there any new rewards added to the corvette expedition or are they the exact same as it’s first run?

[glass loom]

thanks a bunch

[misty grove]

So, I selected new save to start the redux. is there seriously no way to transfer everything I've completed to my main save... without starting it all over again from my "main" save....

[muted river]

Did anyone else get this message just now?

[brittle maple]

Probably better to do it alone

Coz it can get complicated for the other one who joins you, because they might not be able to play on their main save

[ripe holly]

Does anyone know how to use the Medi-Pod module in a Corvette. It says it must be wired to an airlock. I cannot find an airlock module. I have it next to my landing bay but I cannot activate it.

[tender tusk]

It's purely decorative right now and does not function as a normal one you put at a base even though people have built medical units and put the medi-pod over it to pretend it works as a work around

[ripe holly]

Thanks

[elder bloom]

Stuck on a planet for a week cuz I can get copper due to building being in the way and not permitting me😭😤 I just need 2 chromatic metal😭😭🤣

[cinder lance]

what are teh point of expeditons

[tender tusk]

The easiest way would be to disable online connection via firewall for NMS or whatever you play on to set it in offline before loading them game so it doesn't connect and load in those bad player bases; you can also try digging up buried caches which might give you the metal you need

[glossy flame]

Some cosmetic rewards are from expedition only, and this expedition basically gives you a headstart on a corvette that you would otherwise need to spend a fair bit of units to start on a normal save

[royal nebula]

hey do you still need that part done?

ik im a bit late but you can also hack a pillar if you cant do the waves

[coarse charm]

I think I'm gonna keep this expedition save as my main save, I didn't put too much time into a save before this and the expedition got me that scanner upgrade, a ridiculously good capital freighter that's S-class with its stats all almost at the top of their ranges

I feel like I'd lose more in spare stuff that can't carry over than I'd gain if I moved the stuff over 😭

[misty plinth]

Did you start the expedition from a fresh/new save?

[glossy flame]

This expedition is about the only expedition that you have something to gain from starting a new save: you get to keep the Orbital Uplink blueprint (unless they changed it)

[misty plinth]

I sort of feel dirty for cheesing this cheddar.

Time to get to the terminal and transfer these out.

[glossy flame]

Why would you passport your expedition? Do rep merge with main?

[misty plinth]

Why not? They don't merge but you get nanites for rep level don't you?

I have a bunch of Gek relics to exchange if I have the time before expedition end.

[glossy flame]

Oh, I never even paid attention to the nanites and units rewards, I was mainly there for the expedition and QS rewards

[misty plinth]

Won't get a super high level but it might pad the payout at the end.

It would be hilarious if you were rewarded for super negative reputation. Maybe I should have left it alone?

[signal igloo]

you found it! its funny how fast the freighters melt under the gaze of the corvette beam, eh?

[signal igloo]

i know, that device is just a little OP huh? i started a new save in the summer not knowing there was a unique BP included you can explore so fast - jump freighter - scan system - jump to station - tele back to freighter \ repeat

[glossy flame]

Yeah, it's a massive time saver

[misty plinth]

BP? (Sorry - I'm tired and it's not obvious ATM)

[signal igloo]

blue pprint

[misty plinth]

I had seen someone mention pirating in an expedition before and just ignored it. After so many dud dreadnaught battles and derelict freighters I admit I finally succumbed to the temptation.

The phase beam made mince of those freighters - it was almost alarming.

[signal igloo]

yeah feels good to be bad once in a while

ive never pursued high standings in my playing - recently i noticed you can get the reactor core for new ship cheaper if you work a little rep. first. then someone tells me you can get them for WAY less if you keep working their faction - but that sounds like a grind.

there is another item, that i can make for the freighter - Singularity Engine. maybe from Polestar I have on a favorite save from that expedition i can only make it in that save.

i was looking at QS bot and I completely missed the good rewards 16 & 17 two very nice looking ships. I ran some of the boundary herold looks like I can claim all the rewards except for the ship :[

[lethal wren]

honestly its my first instinct now on expeditions to commit crimes cuz my main save has maxed rep with all races 😭 but flag one cargo unit and you drop an entire rank

okay i just had a weird warp i was within a jump or two of the resist 1 - opened up the anomaly and when i left, it warped me to about 6 jumps away? i thought that happened the last time I ran it, but this time I really noticed

[trail coyote]

What is the name of the ship you start with in the expedition?

[remote thunder]

try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades , but remember, it's an english speaking server. you could also join the spanish speaking no mans sky server, get a link by typing !spanishskylink in #nms-commands

[remote thunder]

radiant pillar bc1, same as we normally do in other non exp modes

[trail coyote]

I saw but.... It's a varient of apparently....

[trail coyote]

This one is expedition exclusive....

[remote thunder]

can i see a screenshot of it?

exp19 doesnt have a unique ship reward

[trail coyote]

No, just on first instance of entering that BC1.... Here before I do chores lemme record this instance

[remote thunder]

hmm i didnt notice anything different, but i guess i was expecting it to be exactly like radiant pillar anyway

[trail coyote]

Computer not having it... But yes until the last prompt for the up link. Wish this was a regular recipe...

[remote thunder]

hmm, if i understood it right, that dialog is different just because well, expedition19, not because the ship is actually different

[waxen geode]

Question
The blue print U find in this expedition does it automatically come over to the save U using 🤔
Ps5

[tulip oxide]

i think yes

if it’s like in build tool

[waxen geode]

Ok so U saying some not all blue print U get/find

Ok back to enjoying the expedition in Vr😍

[tulip oxide]

good luck mate

[remote thunder]

to be clear, blueprints learned in expedition character are not merged back into primary/existing character, but you could (in case it's technologies for example) package them and bring them back, or copy ship/multitool that have those techs installed back to primary. (only way to retained learned blueprints in expedition is if expedition was started from new save; they remain unlocked even after expedition finish) cc @tulip oxide

[tulip oxide]

und

[waxen geode]

Ok

[wicked edge]

Anyone here want to swap hitchhiking milestones 😄

[remote thunder]

try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades , also remember that sometimes with randoms, you might get better luck in the station, or in the anomaly

[signal igloo]

hmmmmg

[wicked edge]

Gotcha, thank you!

[signal igloo]

'

oops

[wanton frigate]

If you put a lot of... I think they're called "casings"?
(Edit : no - fairings!) Anyway, a bunch of them upside down sticking off your central Hab you can make a big flat area on the back of your Corvette, and then with about 25 salvaged data and a load of condensed carbon and a little sodium, build tables, chairs, a bar and some table lights. If that doesn't get the message across that you're willing to carry passengers, nothing will.

(P.s. it won't, you'll still end up hanging around the anomaly for hours waiting for some one to come to your spacebistro, and eventually quit the expedition in ignominious failure)

[bleak quarry]

I can’t place a portable refiner anywhere due to no edit permission. How can I fix this?

[tender tusk]

exit game, disconnect your xbox ethernet cable, start the game up, get the stuff you need off the starter planet, get to the first space station and then reconnect the cable.

If you have access to the router then block the xbox temporarily in the firewall settings.

People have been also reporting bases in the NMS quick menu until they disappear and then are able to place a portable refiner down

[cold ether]

if I do fast scramble, will I lose anything or break it permanently?

[tender tusk]

fast scramble only breaks the emergency warp drive and that's it

[bleak quarry]

Thanks, I’ll try that next

[cold ether]

ahh

[warm gyro]

are suspicious packets contraband as per the mission?

[tender tusk]

no they're not

You want counterfeit circuits, grah grah, prismatic feathers, blood vials, first spawn relics etc

[signal igloo]

if you buy the ones called goods there will be those things inside, but it's not as economical as buying directly

[warm gyro]

Ok tyvm last question please. I can sell the items (feathers) at a space station or has to be a trader?

Thankee cat

[signal igloo]

to anyone in a normal system - but I'd use the sales terminal to be safe

[warm gyro]

Got it, thankee kindly

[prisma tundra]

no, don't use the galactic terminal, that drives prices down significantly, the supply/demand is truly influenced by selling to the terminal, selling to NPC traders doesn't change anything, but still has the same prices as the terminal, I've made the mistake before of selling contraband or trade products to the terminal then soon after, it was not profitable anymore, so sell to NPC traders at space stations or trade posts, never to the galactic terminals! (also for @warm gyro to know for future as well)

[median spindle]

Do you not get the corvette when finishing the expedition? Only items stored in the tech and inventory slots on the expedition terminal?

[wanton frigate]

You can clone it back to Main for nanites.

[median spindle]

Have to attach every module I want to keep then?

[wanton frigate]

No.
But you can.

Also, You can send corvette parts back in the Expedition box.

Search this channel for the words "options return" and almost any post you find will explain how to make multiple trips

And you can pile the bits on, clone it, then go back into Expedition, strip it and send the parts back for double bubble

[median spindle]

Thanks! I just attached everything and copied, should probably have done a travel first, oh well.

[median spindle]

Probably should have kept the egg and sent it to main save though? Companion seems lost

[wraith junco]

Cant transfer eggs from expedition to main save

[scarlet cosmos]

Clone the the Corvette meaning they like save a blueprint for it and you must fill the parts?

Or just bring the parts and try to make it

[wraith junco]

Clone from where? Expedition terminal? U will just get a copy of ship

[scarlet cosmos]

How much time for this expedition to end

[scarlet cosmos]

So you can just put all parts on a monster ship and use that idea to take all the parts

?

[wraith junco]

I think so. I never tried it.

[scarlet cosmos]

Do expeditions ever give super mods for suit or ship?

[misty plinth]

It's one way to do it

[misty plinth]

Define super mod

[wraith junco]

No its same modules that u can find in normal game

[scarlet cosmos]

Like better than s class in basic game mode

I seen death cannon mod before I went to work

[wraith junco]

X class can be tiny bit better than S but usualy its worse than C

[scarlet cosmos]

That is a special weapon for ship right?

[wraith junco]

Its a gamble

[scarlet cosmos]

So x and s class are both neck and neck

Yea I seen that

But why

[wraith junco]

U can see modules stats in catalouge tab- technology section.

[scarlet cosmos]

Make xx class 😂

Cool ty for the knowledge

[wraith junco]

For minmaxers i guess. To squize stats to the max , ti have something to do in endgame i guess

[scarlet cosmos]

I think they put x class because the limit restrictions ..you know how you can only put about 4 of the same type mod

[wraith junco]

3. +crafted tech.

[scarlet cosmos]

But x class it can be the same stats but it's not restriction

[wraith junco]

X class has same restrictions as other classes

[scarlet cosmos]

Yes but

Different class

So you can but 4 more

[wraith junco]

Class does not mater.

[scarlet cosmos]

Ok

I know

[wraith junco]

U can only put 3 modules of same type

[scarlet cosmos]

I mean type

[wraith junco]

Cant put X on top of it

[scarlet cosmos]

Ok I have 3 movement mods normal max

Then you can put more x class movement mods

[wraith junco]

If they where crafted then yes

[remote thunder]

@scarlet cosmos to try and clarify a diff way, 3 s-class jetpack, or 3 x-class jetpack is the upgrade module limit; jetpack being the type here, and limit being 3 upgrade modules of the same type, regardless of class

crafted technologies, i.e. unlocked from quests or anomaly, ones we need to provide resources to complete install, are not upgrade modules, and therefore dont count

(side note that crafted technologies can sometimes be obtained in the form of a deployable tech package, and in that case, we'd not need to provide resources to complete the install)

[scarlet cosmos]

Idk I'm new ty but anyway about the special rewards from expedition do I have to take the mod for it in the inventory transfer box example I got a special starship color for it's jets ...do I need to put that in the transfer box?

I already installed it on the expedition corvette

[scarlet cosmos]

Maybe I crafted something I'm not sure

[remote thunder]

expedition phase and final expedition rewards are unlocked account wide; you'll just claim it/them from the quicksilver shop after you're back in your primary save

[scarlet cosmos]

Cool ty

In a expedition can you complete only the milestones that you want or you must do all of them?

[remote thunder]

to complete the expedition, we must complete and claim all non-optional milestones, phase and final rewards

[scarlet cosmos]

Stuck in a derelict freighter and can't find the last computer

Ok I will miss the final rewards?

But will I keep the milestones I achieve?

Must?

[wraith junco]

Check signs above doors

They will help u navigate

[scarlet cosmos]

I hope I got time after work

It said 2 days left yesterday

[wraith junco]

Last computer is in highest numbered room

[scarlet cosmos]

Does the door show when you use your scanner

[remote thunder]

no need, just look above the doors in the room

[scarlet cosmos]

Maybe I need to up the contrast my screen is way darker 😂

Can't see nothing

[scarlet cosmos]

In the starting point for expedition why do ppl put bases and make it harder to get that copper😂

Not cool bros

[remote thunder]

personally, when this happens, i usually just look at my starter ship: does it have rocket launcher installed? great: dismantle rocket launcher ship tech for 100 copper and 50 condensed carbon. if not, remember that reporting other player bases via on foot quick menu then save+reload should hide them from you and let you mine

[scarlet cosmos]

First time expedition I didn't know how to bring ship with me

Still don't know

😅

[remote thunder]

you couldn't do that in expedition19; it's a restriction specific to this expedition, cannot copy ships in or use any other ship other than the corvette we build

[scarlet cosmos]

Ahh

[remote thunder]

how to do it: start exp char from anomaly, after you get access to anomaly with exp char go there and copy ship in (costs nanites) by interacting with the expedition terminus

[solid raven]

Do we get anything different from the original Corvette expedition? I started playing around that time and did that one.

Is there any extra reward or reason to do it again ?

[mortal shoal]

noting different but you can reclaim the milestone rewards again if you complete them

not sure about unique rewards for each phase

[slender hinge]

How do you get the derelict freighter door to unseal?

[remote thunder]

phase and final exp rewards cant be added/claimed a 2nd time; always once per save or iow per character cc @solid raven

[remote thunder]

in short, you'll have to use your own emergency signal scanner; recommend having mp disabled; complete and claim phase 5 milestone 3

[mortal shoal]

shoot the slime covering it or if its the first door use the terminal on the left of the door to unseal it

[remote thunder]

right, but the first terminal/very first door can only be unlocked by the player who spawned the DF, using the emergency signal scanner

[slender hinge]

Ah. Thanks.

[remote thunder]

in other words, if you just found it and didn't spawn it yourself, that's why it wont work

[slender hinge]

That is exactly what happened.

Oof. I was hoping for the optional milestone of catching a ride in someone's ship. Went up to someone running around by their corvette, waved at them, and they closed the door in my face and flew off :P

[remote thunder]

yeah may need a few attempts; that said, the optional milestone's reward isnt all that much

[slender sphinx]

how to refine copper at the start

i cant seem to put my portable refiner anywhere

[wraith junco]

Bc someone made base in permiter. Report bases from quick menu to get rid of them

[slender sphinx]

can anyone give me chromatic metal at the start?

[tranquil basalt]

hmmm

I’v alredy done breach so I don’t need to do it again

[sick rock]

Go to galactic trade terminal to buy some

[slender sphinx]

im at the very start of the expedition

[sick rock]

Are there copper deposits in the first planet

[slender sphinx]

im stucked coz of these annoying useless bases, cant build refiner. Already reported them.

[sick rock]

If there are just find them and make a portable refiner

[sick rock]

Just wander far enough from spawn and it should let u place it

I found a random teleporter and teleported to the other side of the map,

[slender sphinx]

already did it

[sick rock]

Just make sure u get in the starship and get the orbital uplink blueprint before u do so

[slender sphinx]

thats why im so annoyed atm

[sick rock]

Wdym already did it

[slender sphinx]

ive wandered far enough

still cant build refiner

[low heath]

I MISSED RELIC REDUX BY 2 DAYS

BRO

I just wanted the armor...

Never deleting nms ever again

Their FOMO is the worst

[open dagger]

I have as many gaming events on my calendar as IRL stuffs. Why. FOMO

[muted river]

When I did the expedition I went back to my crashed ship and was able to build the refiner there.

[alpine mauve]

I basically just started playing a little bit ago

I finished the expedition on the 25th and transferred as many items over to my main save as I could

Dang tho.. my stuff in the corvette expedition was WAAAAY better than my main save..

the incredible amount of exosuit and starship expansions you get.. I've got barely any slots in comparison

I have a dinky little C tier rifle but I ended up stumbling across one of those uhh.. sentinel things on a dissonant planet?

I found an A tier sentinel weapon that had so many slots and CHEWED through sentinels with the shotgun thing you get from the expedition

it had like 10k possible dps on it

[remote thunder]

you didn't start expedition from anomaly?

[alpine mauve]

I'm so sad I had to let all of that go

[remote thunder]

could copy the ship and MT back to your primary in this case

[alpine mauve]

I only had the option to copy my main save to the expedition

I tried from both ends and it only showed my rifle and my starship which I don't even think you can have in the corvette expedition

since you have to have a corvette

[remote thunder]

sure, in exp19, that's a restriction. but what i'm reminding you is that after you're back in your primary save, if you goto the expedition terminus to take items you brought back from expedition, at that point there will also be the buttons to copy ship and mt

[steady kiln]

It took me 3days to finish the expedition 🥲

[remote thunder]

congratulations are in order then! 🥳

[steady kiln]

Its really fun I just bought the game 3 days ago

Worth it

[alpine mauve]

I'm gonna boot up and go try but I'm pretty sure it's just main save > expedition save and not the other way around

I could be wrong though..

[remote thunder]

it should be both ways basically the functionality is there and is normally available

OH IT IS THERE

THANK YOU

I swear to you yesterday when i was looking at that menu it was just showing me my rifle

maybe it was bugged out

but i have the right ones now

[remote thunder]

i believe ya 🙂 glad it's working as intended now!

[alpine mauve]

I don't even think the little harmony camp thing was a requirement of the expedition? I just happened to find a message someone left that was just a smiley face, guess they were leading towards that MT being really good

are MT's like.. randomly generated but always the same for the place you find them in?

like.. the multitool in the space station of my spawn system hasn't changed, is that how it is for the whole game?

[remote thunder]

yeah, it was for one of the milestones

[winter parcel]

how do you autopilot the corvette? the promp is asking me to pilot it for 20s and I cant even get inside of the ship

[remote thunder]

yes. in short, if you want to try and see it change, goto a planet in the system, save+reload, then return to cabinet and recheck. repeat with other planets or moons in the system. class of cabinet is always fixed

[remote thunder]

• to get inside the ship you need to add a hatch to the ship
• autopilot is done via quick menu, for example after you're already in pulse

[winter parcel]

oh so i need to add a hatch before i even do the autopilot

[remote thunder]

a hatch is added using corvette workshop basically, now that you've got a built ship just "modify" it and add a hatch

[winter parcel]

alr thanks

[slender hinge]

Is there a way to get the advanced mining laser on this expedition?

[remote thunder]

if it's not already installed, you can just unlock it from space anomaly (available after first warp, get close to a space station - or just dock with it, easier to explain that way)

[slender hinge]

Thanks.

[slender sinew]

Can we transfer the orbital uplink to main save?

[remote thunder]

not afaik

[slender sinew]

Alright then

Is there an advantage to creating an expedition on a new save as opposed to using My main save?

[remote thunder]

well, for example, one of the advantages of starting from new save is in the case of learned blueprints e.g. orbital uplink - we get to keep any learned blueprints, any char progress e.g. access to purple stars when applicable after exp is completed/ends and char converts to normal mode

[sick rock]

Not sure

However, when ur expedition turns into a normal save ull still have the blueprint and however many uplinks u crafted

[glossy flame]

We cannot, I tried

[cold ether]

im so close to finishing the last milestone- i keep taking pictures of my corvette but nothing happens . Anyone know why?

[tender tusk]

You have to use the indicated button for you platform while in photomode for me on PC i use mouse button 1 but only for these types of Milestones; you might have two different buttons on console versions

also photomode is in the quickmenu

[cold ether]

got it! Tysm!!!

[steel pagoda]

What's the best way to handle the Under their Noses Milestone?
It's my very last one that had me stuck for a few days. I can't remember if I flew through a smuggler system, and if I did, where it was.

I checked the pins also.
Wow I'm dumb. I forgot the skull symbol on the map is what I am looking for, lol. Been a while.

[fervent umbra]

Anyone willing to let me ride in their Corvette for the milestone?

[fervent umbra]

Install the conflict scanner, go to the Galaxy map and if it's an outlaw system it will have a skull in place of the conflict level. Then you just buy a few of the contraband items from the black market seller and Warp to a non outlaw system and sell it at the space station

[steel pagoda]

I don't have room on my corvette to install the conflict or economy scanner sadly. And no money for another ship.

[fervent umbra]

You should be able to store at least one of the pieces of technology in your starship in your inventory, then you just install the conflict scanner and find an outlaw system, go to it, then you can uninstall the scanner and reinstall that piece of technology

[steel pagoda]

Ah yea. I could probably just remove something. And put it in inventory temporarily.

Forgot that.

Thanks. I managed to free up 1 slot. And fortunately I kept a brain.

[steel pagoda]

Soon as I'm done with this smuggler run, you're welcone to jump in mine. I switched off with someone the other day for it.

I'm on PC. Took like 30 systems to check to find a skull icon. But I got one.

[fervent umbra]

Noice

Now I'm not sure how to group up tbh, don't think I've ever done it

[cold ether]

I played from main page with a new character. will my main character get the goods is this a new save completely?

[fervent umbra]

No, you need to start the expedition from the expedition terminus in the space anomaly on your main save

You'll get the overall rewards but you can't transfer anything from your inventory if you're not doing it from your main save

[cold ether]

oh dang! so thats the difference-

when it says exocraft not owned- how do you own it?

[steel pagoda]

I haven't done it in a long time. I don't remember, lol.

I forgot to emergency warp also, so that just took another 30 seconds, but I got the whole expedition done now.

[fervent umbra]

Guess I can give you my friend code maybe

[steel pagoda]

Yea I remember a code.
I just randomly found someone on the Anomaly asking, when I switched to multiplayer.

[fervent umbra]

I sent you a DM

[fervent umbra]

@steel pagoda thanks again for helping me out

[steel pagoda]

Np. Glad I could.

And thank you for helping me.

[slender hinge]

Is there any reason that someone would use an anomaly detector, go onto a derelict freighter with it and not get credit, just showing 0/0 zones mapped?

[balmy oak]

Having to do this many warps just to get to the resist parts is so annoying

But it must be done

Probbaly won’t finish it all since I’m starting so late but we’ll see

[slender hinge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuX5F1SKtUg

[balmy oak]

How did he get to resist 2 in 2 warps I’ve had like 12

[glossy flame]

He probably transferred nanites from his main save to the expedition

[misty plinth]

If you scan all fauna when you start you can use the nanite bonus to buy a hyperdrive upgrade module.

[balmy oak]

Ah should have done that

[wintry void]

Last expedition of the redux soon. Last one then im uptodate

[balmy oak]

Trying to get the hitchhike one but none of these people are taking off

[glossy flame]

I decided it wasn't worth the wait for one single days worth of QS after waiting for like 15 minutes

[balmy oak]

Well the issue is I got so far but not far enough so I have to find another ship

[misty plinth]

@balmy oak Where are you haning out looking to stow away?

Sometimes the space stations are better than the anomaly.

[balmy oak]

Oh I just gave up. No one was showing up and I decided maybe I didn’t need to do it

[slender hinge]

Try asking in chat. I saw someone asking, and by the time I got to them, they had gotten it from someone else, but they helped me out after. Though, later on I had someone just walk in my ship, and I knew what they were trying to get and I just immediately flew the ship out and then landed in a station, and they thanked me.

I was in the Anomaly when they jumped in. It was pretty active. I would try there.

[misty plinth]

@slender hinge Been the same experience on my end as well.

Anomaly I had issues because of the corvette stacking that happens there.

[balmy oak]

I was able to get on a ship and they left the anomaly but I just ended up getting spit out in my own ship

[slender sphinx]

how to summon anomaly in this expedition?

[wraith junco]

After first jump u should be able to

[glossy flame]

You may need to wait a little bit, maybe 15 seconds, before the ball option shows up after warping

[remote thunder]

after the first warp, the other part of the trigger is "get close enough to station entrance" (no need to actual dock) cc @slender sphinx @wraith junco

"warp and dock with station" is easier to say ofc

[glossy flame]

aha, ty

[slender sphinx]

thanks

[main dawn]

Hyperdrive upgrades

He had one S tier and one C tier

[slender sphinx]

how long do I need to wait to harvest plants on living wall?

[wraith junco]

Depends what plant u planted.

Frostwort grows fastest i think

[slender sphinx]

god damn, im stucked inside my corvette, is there any way to get out here?

[wraith junco]

Craft station uplink and use it?

[slender sphinx]

thanks so much, this expedition annoys a lot.

[slender sphinx]

gravitino host

[waxen geode]

🤣🤦🏿‍♂️ I forgot 😭to make a big ship with all the parts I found & bring it over 😭😂😂 all da bits I found would fill all the missing items I have. 😭🤣
The fun of doing things over again

[wraith junco]

Normaly its 2h. But in expedition grow time is boosted i think

[humble star]

Oh crap I forgot about the expedition and it ends tomorrow....oh well too late now lol

[slender sphinx]

how about frostwort?

[wraith junco]

1h

[glossy flame]

Frostworst is 12mins during expedition

[humble star]

I read that the Corvette exp can be done in just a few hours....is that true?

[wraith junco]

Yes

There are guides on yt.

But dont wait with doing expedition till last minute

[humble star]

I know this was An accident, between the holidays and depression problems 🙁 I just forgot about the expedition

[wraith junco]

U can make it in problems if u watch some guides. Just a heads up bc hello games can end exp few min before planed time.

[random torrent]

FYI, mine was bugged and if I harvested 1, they'd all look like they were harvested, but i could go harvest the others even tho they looked like freshly planted buds

[elder snow]

Do I have to complete the optional milestones as well if I want to send items back to my main save?
Because I have the option to end the expedition, but the storage slots are greyed out

[signal igloo]

I been telling folks this even from first run of corvette. just be sure to harvest all the planters - it's like a warp and two pulse drives and it's grown. Frostwart for the win

[signal igloo]

yes i found completing all the optional milestores was how to open those up

i camped out by all the derelicts and hop in a players vette... he saw me and drove a few blocks, then i uplinked out

i tried parking out fron the station but no one was interested

the second optional is just signing resist V and open it up again and tell them what a traveler is show you uplink BP to prove it lol

even having done both optional milestones my buddy had to restart the game to get them open

it was like he had not completed them and only had the grey options

[restive swallow]

can you do expeditions solo? or its help better?

[signal igloo]

there is a few challenges to doing them in multiplayer - you learn to resync in the anomaly often, and some events will not trigger if in a group, like normandy reveal - we had to break group

but it's plenty fun

[restive swallow]

what expedition should i start with?

[signal igloo]

hmm tomorrows'...

[restive swallow]

haha ok

[signal igloo]

unless you are top tier NM players then jus speedrun this one

i goof off a lot and acted like i was speeding but it took most of saturday, play - shoping - errend - play - cooking... i spent about 3-4 hours doing one saturday

[restive swallow]

i just started playing 8 days ago haha

[signal igloo]

that doesn't exclude you from being able to speedrun - you might be savant at games..

[restive swallow]

true haha, i will start tomorrow

[signal igloo]

also - if you really wanted to get - help - tell Gemini to give you an outline of speedrunning no man's sky REDUX of Corvette - it offers some very trick tips, gather here - don't want to collect scans - it had a great plan, but i didn't follow it.. i got "kitties" condition every time i play through

that is kinda like squirrels for the doggo in UP

[sterile gazelle]

stupid question im having a brain fart. just started the corvette exp....how am i supposed to get offf the planet when i dont have a refiner and i can't make chrom metal

[signal igloo]

in the right side of HUD

it will say collect chromatic

to make an item

[sterile gazelle]

i can't collect chromatic

i have to refine it right? there's no chromatic metal anywhere here

[remote thunder]

find a copper deposit, mine it with terrain manip - or dismantle ship rocket launcher to get 100 copper+50 condensed carbon

[signal igloo]

true but not true - one of the rocks has it

[remote thunder]

refine copper to cmetal

[signal igloo]

and there are pools of copper

[sterile gazelle]

i have copper. can't refine it without a refiner

[signal igloo]

also remove the rockets from you pillar

[remote thunder]

building a portable refiner doesn't need cmetal

[signal igloo]

well - one plate and oxy makes a refiner

[sterile gazelle]

onlinie it says "build a portable refiner" i dont have the option to build one

i dont have that as an option in my build menu haven't unlocked it

[signal igloo]

in build menu

[remote thunder]

too close to another player base perhaps

[signal igloo]

up d-pad or - i forget in pc

[remote thunder]

Z

[signal igloo]

there ya go

[sterile gazelle]

what?

there ya go what?

[signal igloo]

stand in the shadow of your pillar to build it

the build nemu

[sterile gazelle]

it's not in the build menu

[signal igloo]

z or up d-pad

[sterile gazelle]

im in build menu on PC. it's not listed

[signal igloo]

collecct your rewards maybe

[sterile gazelle]

i just started

i have nothing to collect

becaus ei can't finish the very first thing it says

[signal igloo]

i started with the refiner BP

try restarting

turn off MPP

[remote thunder]

@sterile gazelle just to make sure we're on the same page, we're talking build menu, that you build base parts at, that you open by pressing Z or dpad up when playing, not in the inventory menu.

[sterile gazelle]

did. twice. nothing

MPP is off

shield lattice and oxy recycler are the only things i can make

[signal igloo]

those are in inventory

[remote thunder]

you're not in the right place

[signal igloo]

not the right place

[remote thunder]

exit inventory menu

[sterile gazelle]

so......i know what you're saying. im not a new player. it's nowhere

i think it's bugged out for me

[signal igloo]

nope

[sterile gazelle]

want me to screen share and show you?

maybe im missing something

[remote thunder]

exit inventory menu, then press Z, screenshot

[signal igloo]

its not the personal refiner - its the portable one looks like a beer keg

next to the base computer

[signal igloo]

oh boi this one dead

[remote thunder]

we tried to help, hopefully we succeeded

[ocean gorge]

Any special stuff to bring into this expedition to help beyond the usual resources etc?
Or things to not bring that I won’t be able to use due to any restrictions?

[remote thunder]

• wont be able to copy ship in
• in addition to the basics/usuals, also bring 2-3 s-class hyperdrive modules

[ocean gorge]

So should I not bring in modules to sell for nanites?

[remote thunder]

you can bring in stuff to make nanites sure, just wont be allowed to copy any ship in (you are allowed to copy multitool in)

[ocean gorge]

Anything you’d change/switch out? Idk how much fishing we do, I think I saw some on the list of objectives

[remote thunder]

• no need to bring bait, just need fish/common fish
• i'd bring a few repair kits 🙂

[ocean gorge]

I usually change the settings so I don’t have to repair things, but sure I can throw in some repair kits since we usually have to repair a few things early on

[eternal dagger]

How fast would it be to rush this expedition?

[remote thunder]

there's probably some things i took the longest route in, but i was able to finish in 1h40min, started from new save

[eternal dagger]

Okay thanks

[remote thunder]

remember to check pinned posts, lots of good tips there

[misty plinth]

You need to record your runs and share them or stream them. I want a peek behind the curtain.

[proven moat]

any way to remove bases that are blocking resources? (I don't have multiplayer on, but they still get synced). do I have to "report" them?!

[misty plinth]

Quick menu and scroll right probably the qiuckest way.

[proven moat]

what do you mean?

[misty plinth]

On PC you hit X and a quick menu pops up - then you scroll right to the base icons and report them.

[proven moat]

would they get punished though? reporting feels wrong. but the game should not let this happen if multiplayer is turned off.

[misty plinth]

If the bases aren't offensive nothing happens to the base or player. They are just removed from your list of bases you want to see.

[proven moat]

hmm I feel like HG needs to fix this

[misty plinth]

!HG

[unkempt kraken]

Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[proven moat]

I would, I did in the past. I recorded videos, elaborately edited them to submit via Zendesk. but you know, and this will sound very cynical, it always feels like it goes into a blackhole with nearly all systems like this. you never hear anything, not even an acknowledgment, and nothing ever changes for years or sometimes decades 🙂 since this expedition is on timer and I have very little time, I will pass on this. but I do like HG, and I always defended their position from the very beginning, because their passion shines with this game. I just feel the whole Zendesk thing never gave me any confidence. I've participated in that enough I feel.

but thank you for the link, maybe I will post one more time.

[lilac heart]

my favorite part of the expedition is when people make bases everywhere so you cant do anything

[humble star]

expedition done! took about 6 hours 🙂

[lilac heart]

i cant place a portable refiner literally anywhere because of how many bases there are

[versed gull]

i feel like that would be an easy fix though. just make a no base zone around the ship spawn locations for expeditions.

then everyone can make their refiners at their ship

[tender tusk]

exit game, disconnect your console ethernet cable, start the game up, get the stuff you need off the starter planet, get to the first space station and then reconnect the cable.

If you have access to the router then block the Console temporarily in the firewall settings.

If on steam exit game and restart steam in offline mode or Just block NMS temporarily in the Windows Firewall

People have been also reporting bases in the NMS quick menu until they disappear and then are able to place a portable refiner down

[turbid moon]

how do i find corvette models. i cant find any anywhere.

[visual jay]

I need some help

Does anyone have any free time on their hands

I accidentally started and expedition on a new save now I can't send my items to my main file.

Would anyone be willing take my expedition items and help transfer them to my main file

[steady flame]

I can help you

[ocean gorge]

I got so lucky, I didn’t have to make a portable refiner, got some chromatic metal from a buried cache (it never hurts to remember all the mechanics of the game; sure, that was luck indeed, but you never know what buried caches can give you🥳)

[proven moat]

why is it so difficult to barter for the ccrvette parts? whatever I trade only gives me 10-15% chance at most

some parts give 0%

[warm gyro]

Have to find better parts to barter with

Do I have to fo to the anomoly to complete corvette?

[wanton frigate]

The money parts are the necessary bits . Habs, reactors etc.
Money buys you habs.
So find yourself some chlorine and brute force those negotiations

[tender tusk]

yes to move items and anything else you want over

[glossy flame]

You can keep taking off a part and adding that part back to try each time you attempt that trade, eventually it will go through

[warm gyro]

I dint put stuff over but I can then fini in anomoly yes?

[glossy flame]

When a trade fails, it doesn't eat whatever you offered

[glossy flame]

You don't need to interact with the anomaly until the very end in this expedition iirc

You have to complete a corvette before going to anomaly anyhow, you literally can't fly otherwise

[tender tusk]

If you've done all milestones and you're not porting stuff over yes you still have to finish at the Anomaly at the Expedition Terminal and hit End Expedition if you started from your main save; IF you started a new save to do it then it'll convert over to a normal save at the end

[brave echo]

How do I do this shit?

It says I need to add habitation modules, are those only inside?

Oh I didn’t collect the first reward from the second phase

Gotem

[tender tusk]

If you claimed the right milestone then it should be in your exosuit inventory, put it in your corvette workshop cache at a space station, and then edit your corvette to add those Habitation modules to it; doesn't have to be permanent you can do it apply edits, then exit out to get the milestone done and then take them off

[proven moat]

is this a bug then?

or you mean it'll hit the low chance

[glossy flame]

It will eventually hit the low chance

[proven moat]

thanks!

[brave echo]

What is the easiest plant to plant? I can’t find faecium, wasn’t it in the first system?

[proven moat]

there's a frost planet on R2, you could plant that

[prisma tundra]

you find them in salvage containers or occasionally from other random drop locations (pirate battles, frigate expeditions, crashed freighters, derelict freighters) as well as for purchase/trade at space station corvette workshop

[brave echo]

Also is the expedition fucking with me??? It says it has 14 hours left an hour ago and now it says 11

[jolly drum]

Does anyone know how to rescue a save game with over 300 hours on it that I started for the first run of the Corvette expedition? I logged off at about UTC 2:15 to do something else, and when I came back to finish the expedition, the game crashed. I can load different saves but the most recent was from September 23. I was only out of the game for about two and a half hours, and I can't seem to recover it now.

Seems like the save must be unrecoverable by any means known to anyone. The funny part is that I can read the data with a save editor, but it crashes the game on both save 15 and 16, but save 14 from before I created the most recent one on an expedition is still working.

Does 156355_0x3FBDB7 indicate anything useful?

[prisma tundra]

oh yeah, I still need to do that one

[jolly drum]

Well, not only do I not get to finish the current expedition, but I lose everything I gained since September. From now on, if I play again, I'll have to delete the file every time I stop playing and start all over again the next time.

[prisma tundra]

I'd ask for help in the #964865106334875698 thread before you lose hope like this

[jolly drum]

I posted there, it doesn't seem like anyone has ever seen this kind of thing before.

[prisma tundra]

I'm sure someone will figure it out, maybe even hg themselves if you report the bug and send your save files to help figure out what could be wrong

[jolly drum]

I did copy and paste it, the only relevant link was to a Steam discussion about a similar crash, it doesn't seem their issue is the same as mine.

Yeah, I'll have to get 11,286 external drives, each one stored in a different safe deposit box at a different bank, and update them all every time I log off the game.

[prisma tundra]

that wouldn't be necessary, I have over 500 hours on a save and it's actually really small (3k KB or 3 MB, approx), but I backup all my saves every so often, more so when I do save editing occasionally, and I just have it in a folder in my documents, they're not as big as you're thinking, like literally MB for larger saves, KB for smaller saves at most

someone who has an ongoing save that they started since the launch of NMS might have a save that's over 1 GB, but that's extremely rare lol

[jolly drum]

I don't think they're big, I just think I need 11,286 backup copies each in a different physical location.

Because when the first 11,285 copies fail, I'll still have number 11,286.

Or maybe the sixteen minutes are up, and that's why the save failed.

[prisma tundra]

you really don't need that many copies or that much redundancy, this isn't rocket science lol

[wraith junco]

2 will be enough lol

[jolly drum]

I suppose I could just start over every time I launch the game. But that would mean I'll never finish an expidition again.

[wraith junco]

There are expedition guides on yt

And tips in the pins

[jolly drum]

I spend far too much time goofing around, building a base, setting up a ship and multitool to take back to a main save, to speedrun an expedition.

Which means I'm not likely to play the whole thing in one session.

[prisma tundra]

you can absolutely do the expedition in one session, you've got 6.5 hours left, I'm finishing it up right now, the reduxes are made easier too, the whole main storyline prob can't be done in one session, but I'm sure the glitch you're having is a one off thing and you'll be fine logging off & returning later in the future

[jolly drum]

Sure, I could play it in one session if I wanted to, but then I'd go through with little more than three bits of carbon in the only inventory slot in my exosuit.

[wraith junco]

U can do this exp in around 2-3h

[jolly drum]

But I can't get back the NCC-13013 Corvette, or the Ingotyeeter multitool.

[wraith junco]

U can do expedition in 3h going starting from scrach and taking nothing

Just watch some guides

[prisma tundra]

I think you're exaggerating a bit, cause that's very much a hyperbole, even from a new save, you're given at least 20 exosuit slots, you can typically mine stuff for carbon, ferrite dust, and oxygen, as well as collect oxygen/sodium rich plants for basic resources, people have speedrun the expedition in under 2 hours, experienced players should still be able to get it done in 2-3 hours like Astaroth said, I take longer cause I like exploring but I still usually only spend a total of 6 hours actually playing, and you've got a little more than 6 hours left, you'll be fine

[wraith junco]

Only mian rewards mater . Rest u can get in normal game

[ocean gorge]

Is there a best system to search for the derelict freighter in?

[prisma tundra]

perhaps, if whatever happened to your save isn't fixed, but you're given resources to help you throughout the milestones, it's possible to do it with nothing but what the expedition milestones give you and what you find in the resources available on planets

[jolly drum]

During my time on the expedition, I found an S class multitool in a sentinel pillar, with the extra mining laser that allowed me to double up. I was adding slots and equipping it to be the thing I took back.

Doing that kind of building is why I don't normally do an expedition in two hours.

[prisma tundra]

not really, it has to be inhabited afaik, but the loot is rng based, so there's not a "best" system, at least in expedition

[slender sphinx]

i cant seem to add any defensive shields on my corvette

how to build 1 more shield module on it?

[prisma tundra]

but you can gear up that MT out of expedition too once you transfer it over, focus on the milestones, and you'll be fine

[ocean gorge]

I’ve only done derelicts mostly when required for expeditions, which means easy ones with just jellies, so I was hoping someone knew if one of the systems (or maybe all of them) were easy ones xD

[prisma tundra]

you need to have the shield modules available, which means trading or finding from salvage containers

[wraith junco]

I dont think freighter layout maters much. Runpast everything ,Just enter every room and check terminals and tablets for captain records ..grab reward from last room. Done.

[jolly drum]

But I suppose I could speedrun everything and just use the equipment the way I find it, rushing from galaxy to galaxy without building so much as a single base.

[ocean gorge]

I don’t do anything fast😭

[jolly drum]

The plus side is I'll never need to scan for hotspots again, you only do that if you're building a place you plan to come back to.

[prisma tundra]

you'd be going from star system to star system, not leaving the Euclid galaxy, actually, but yes, that is one way to do it, I rarely put down based in reduxes unless the milestones require it (like with Titan), like I said, focus on milestones, use guides on yt & tips in the pins, and you'll be fine, you have time

[jolly drum]

I mean even outside of the expeditions. Constant motion, no delays.

[prisma tundra]

neither do I, I love collecting all the loot, but afaik, there's not a particular system that's best or whatever, most people do it in the 4th or 5th rdv system tho

[slender sphinx]

theres no way to purchase these things?

[prisma tundra]

I mean you could, but I think you're worrying for nothing, you don't need to rush per se, especially outside expedition, tho you should be getting into the expedition asap so you have time to complete it

[chrome brook]

do we know which expedition is gonna be next?

[prisma tundra]

shield modules have to be traded at the workshop terminal, can't be bought for units, no

[prisma tundra]

Expedition 20 Redux: Breach will start Wednesday

I mean, if I can't keep playing anything for more than three hours, anything I want to do has to be done in one sitting. This is how things work when there's no save feature.

[chrome brook]

thank you
I was confused if it was gonna be 20 or it was gonna be 21

[prisma tundra]

you may have had an issue with one of your saves, but there's a save point created every time you exit your ship or save at a save point/save beacon, and there's also autosaves that happen periodically, something messed up for you on that one save, which is unfortunate, but that is unlikely to happen if you start the expedition from a new save file with the time you have remaining

[prisma tundra]

Expedition 21 hasn't been announced yet lol

[chrome brook]

yeah I'm a new player, just started about 2-3 weeks ago so I don't know much

[prisma tundra]

oh! welcome!!

[jolly drum]

I'm not even sure if I'll be able to get rewards from previous expeditions I finished after September, since everything I did there has been deleted from the records.

[misty plinth]

I think I was bogarting free ones in the RV 4 and RV 5 systems. There were several there already summoned.

[prisma tundra]

whatever phases you completed would be available to you as rewards, and it wouldn't be deleted from records, if started from primary save, units, nanites, quicksilver, and discoveries are merged, if from a new save, the save converts to normal and you have everything per usual

[jolly drum]

Well, that's how it went previously, but it seems like the rules have changed.

[prisma tundra]

even before the ability to start expeditions from primary saves, previous expedition saves still converted to normal saves, and the phase rewards/overall rewards are unlocked for all saves on the account, and the ability to start from primary saves has been around for almost 2 years now, since Expedition 12: Omega in early 2024 afaik

[jolly drum]

The big question is whether or not it's worth it to build up bases and farms, ships and multitools, when it's all going to vanish again.

[wraith junco]

Dont bother if u dont have the time to finish exp

Just focus on tasks

[prisma tundra]

it won't vanish, if starting from primary save, bases (& farms at those bases) are transferred, ship(s)/MT(s) can be copied over, and if starting from main save, you just keep ship, MT, bases/farms, etc because it converts to a normal save, but given the limited time you have, it's best to just get started already, focus on milestones, and worry about other stuff later, if you find something that you really want to go back to (like curious deposits for runaway mould, I've made bases for that before), then drop down a base computer, but it's not required by any means in this one

[jolly drum]

Take settlements as an example. It's not really likely I can get one from initial contact to being profitable in one sitting. Best case is that I'd at least have to have it around for 24+ hours, which is beyond the scope of the game.

[prisma tundra]

when you're in expedition, you don't have the time, ignore settlements, focus on milestone tasks, after expedition, if you wanted to do a settlement, then you don't have to do it in one sitting, the point is to leave & come back, the game will save every time you leave your ship, as well as autosave regularly, one little mishap with a save doesn't mean saving is impossible, I keep saying this but I don't think you're fully understanding, you seem to be worrying to much about technical aspects that have nothing to do with the expedition, and you keep assuming that a glitch with one save applies to all saves when you said you can load other saves, so load a new save for the expedition to complete it & unlock rewards for all saves, then be done, afterwards you can work on trying to recover your other save, I'm sure people will try to help you, this isn't a lost cause, and you can get the expedition done if you start already

[jolly drum]

I mean even out of the expeditions. If I can't save things and come back later, what would I actually do in the game?

[wraith junco]

What?

[prisma tundra]

but you can save, exiting your ship creates a restore save point, interacting with placed save points & save beacons do the same, the game autosaves regularly, something got messed up for only one of your saves, the game is not broken otherwise, so you'll be ok

[wraith junco]

Just make a save for expedition bro. U are fixated on 1 rare case when your save corrupted.

[prisma tundra]

earlier in chat, Heavier Crucibles said the save being played on crashed & couldn't open again, but could still load other saves, so I don't think the issue will happen again, and loading an expedition save will be fine

[wraith junco]

Ik

[prisma tundra]

yes, fixated, that's the term I kept trying to think of lol

[wraith junco]

If u are scared of it happening again just backup saves

Get over it and get going. Time is running out

[visual jay]

Well apparently not I got back all my items. Met this random chinese guy last night in the anomaly space station, added him to my friend list, sent him all my rare and expensive items, logged into my main save from the 'join friends' section in the main menu, went back to where I left him and he sent them back to me, so I'd say it does work. Still can't get the units, nanites or quicksilver I made during that expedition but it's fine I'm just glad I got all my items back.

[prisma tundra]

I'm glad it worked out for you! I know sometimes it doesn't always work tho lol, I'm currently trying to get the hitchhiker optional milestone but I can't seem to find anyone who's actually gonna do that, sometimes I can't see their ships, other times the pilot is just afk lol

[visual jay]

Oh that one I can how see that milestone would be difficult It took me a couple trys but I did it eventually, you just gotta stalk ppl in the anomaly space station and wait until their about to leave then board the ship before they take off, it takes a while but it's worth it. Anyways thx and goodluck.

[ocean gorge]

I skipped the hitchhiker milestone.

It’s almost 5 am here and I didn’t care about it tbh

[visual jay]

Damn that sucks, ik it wasn't easy and may take a while but the rewards was worth it.

[ocean gorge]

It’s QS. I can do Nexus missions if I really want that

[visual jay]

Nice am in the anomaly space station, I'll be at the quicksilver synthesis companion shop

[slender sphinx]

how to locate sentinel pillars?

[prisma tundra]

use a sentinel boundary map, or sometimes someone puts down a base near one

[misty plinth]

You can also fight the waves of sentinels when they aggro. Grab a gravatino to accelerate the threat level if you like.

[prisma tundra]

nearly all the planets have aggressive sentinels in this expedition, so that does work, but only if you're good at PVE enough to get through all waves, cause I'm not lmao

[misty plinth]

If you have a MT with some sort of stun and a fairly heavy hitting counterpart it's not too terrible.

[prisma tundra]

I typically copy over my MT that's more general purpose rather than my PVE/combat specific one, so I don't have that, I'm also just bad at combat on foot (or similar 1st/3rd person shooters) in general, plus one of the milestones gives a sentinel boundary map anyway, so it's best to just use that rather than fight lol

fair enough!

[slender sphinx]

sentinel walker bugged? it doesnt appear. Ive tried several times.

[slender sphinx]

final boss, not appearing.

...

no

this milesstone is annoying

ive reached sentinel lvl 5 3 times

boss isnt coming

[prisma tundra]

use the sentinel boundary map, you should have one from a previous milestone reward

[prisma tundra]

it's possible multiplayer is making it glitch so disable that if you haven't already
