[karmic plover]

💀 💀

[patent oar]

I have

[karmic plover]

1 bump and it all just gets flung oyt

[cobalt bear]

it wouldn't be...

okay the concept would be bad either way

it would be less bad

[celest bison]

i am so close to the end

[cobalt bear]

if the terrain generation was actually suitable for this sort of challenge

[celest bison]

i need 3 biohazxard containers, and to go to this final site

[cobalt bear]

but it kind of isn't

[celest bison]

YES

screw this hilly mess

[patent oar]

When I pack the scrap close together, it stays pretty stable

[karmic plover]

So many potholes tok

Too

[signal igloo]

so, if you are trapped on planet how is the anomaly accessed?

[celest bison]

either that or HG gave us better terain tools to build, ROADS

[karmic plover]

Im actually fine with the mountains

[cobalt bear]

It isn't.

[signal igloo]

eke

[karmic plover]

Its the potholes that i have the most problem witj

[celest bison]

post expo.

[celest bison]

same

[karmic plover]

Potholes & wavy ground

[signal igloo]

how do you visit your main save i wonder

[celest bison]

yeah, that wavy ground is BAD

[karmic plover]

Esc menu

[solemn bane]

I'm melee dashing to the wate heap and summoning my truck because it's faster than driving there, lol

[celest bison]

TBF

[signal igloo]

hmm

[shut ridge]

Fr

[karmic plover]

Drops all of your cargo

[cobalt bear]

also

the radioactive one. ugh.

here's a quick breakdown of how the scrapping site works:

[karmic plover]

Pointless if youre trying to haul cargo

[solemn bane]

I said to the heap, not the other way around, lol. This expedition is horrible.

[celest bison]

on a controller, since you have throttle control, i bet this is WAY easier

[daring briar]

ok I cant find my way back to the waste processing plant .. is there a visor marker or something ?

[celest bison]

cus you can just go a safe speed for the dips and shi

[karmic plover]

Riight

Brah 1 time i fell into a hole

And the hole is toxic

💀

[cobalt bear]

you bring your cargo to the site.
regular scrap: you pick it up and fire it horizontally at the incinerator.
explosive scrap: you pick it up and fire it horizontally at the incinerator.
toxic scrap: you pick it up and fire it horizontally at the incinerator.

radioactive scrap: you have to fire it straight up and try to land it falling vertically into the top of a building, or slowly walk each and every piece up the stairs

why

[signal igloo]

i gottaa see this for myself just how bad can it be

road work maximussuxibus

[solemn bane]

It's so bad I can't even remember which one I thought was the worst before this.

[signal igloo]

lol

fuk lol

[karmic plover]

I dont even get whats the point of doing this outside of the expedition

All that for a measly 20 nanites?

[signal igloo]

20

[karmic plover]

Or is there other stuff

[signal igloo]

that is like a fish then

[cobalt bear]

you get like 20 nanites per scrap item

also

[signal igloo]

fish give 22-30?

[cobalt bear]

you get less nanites if you use the mass collection

if you want full value

[karmic plover]

Actually pointless

[cobalt bear]

you have to sort manually

[karmic plover]

Holy shit

[patent oar]

Ill take that on abandoned mode

[celest bison]

fr, they need to buff the nanites, or make it give good stuff

[cobalt bear]

yeah, this whole update is like

[celest bison]

like corvette parts from this would make me do this CONSTANTLY

[cobalt bear]

"wow, we added a gravity gun! look, we added stuff to throw around!"

[celest bison]

and recycling into corvete parts would be so GOOD

[karmic plover]

I mean i like the concept

[cobalt bear]

and when you get bored of throwing things around like a baby with it's toys then that's basically that

[celest bison]

its logical, and a good reward

[karmic plover]

Ive always liked trucking

But this

Oh man

[celest bison]

again i think this is the most MID update in the game's history

[cobalt bear]

corvette parts also actually sell for real money

[signal igloo]

mid?

[celest bison]

yeah

[cobalt bear]

so there'd be value there

[karmic plover]

Mid is an overstatement

[celest bison]

which means even if you dont need the parts, it has value as a money making tool

[cobalt bear]

this update is like

[karmic plover]

I love the new collosus stuff

[celest bison]

i mean, its not bad by and means, just, lacking

hence mid

[cobalt bear]

the gameplay equivilant of those realistic skies and cloud refactor updates

[karmic plover]

But its all just so pointless

[cobalt bear]

it sure is nice you guys added this for aesthetic flare

but this changes literally nothing

[karmic plover]

I guess

[unkempt sphinx]

i think as is it feels a bit redundant but im almost 100% sure this is more of a set up update for further industrial updates

[daring briar]

how do I find my way back to the waste processing plant .. is there a visor marker or something ?

[karmic plover]

Yeah

[celest bison]

NMS has never had a BAD update, but its just, MID

[cobalt bear]

you can scan for one on the radar

[celest bison]

im hoping for this, SO MUCH

[silk birch]

What happend to my game it is like really bright in some parts

like REALLYY

[signal igloo]

that would be the normal way

[cobalt bear]

it doesnt make the game actively worse...

[karmic plover]

The packages genuinely feel like paper

[cobalt bear]

....other then the expedition, which absolutely does

...but it's very... eh.

[solemn bane]

The only thing I wanted to do after watching the trailer was to shoot small sentinels at bigger sentinels and that doesn't even do damage. lol what is the friggin point.

[signal igloo]

do you have the vehicle visor installed?

[karmic plover]

Make it like 3x heavier and itll feel so much better

[cobalt bear]

you can block incoming fire with sentinels as shields

that's about it

[daring briar]

nvm found it

[unkempt sphinx]

keeping in mind voyagers was 6.0 and 6.1 was more corvette parts, my bet is the gravity gun will be used for corvette cargo similar to star citizen. obviously just speculation but itd be cool

[celest bison]

ive wanted a reason to build bases beyond simple farms or because i can for a long time, so im hoping this update is leading into a factory update or something

[celest bison]

there is also this

i REALLY want that

[woeful osprey]

i kinda wish ps4 had m&k support

[karmic plover]

also no corvette parts too

😭

[signal igloo]

heh

[celest bison]

deep space salvage, or parking your corvette on a planet and using the colossus to get the cargo

[karmic plover]

Id be happy with 1 new part

[solemn bane]

Yeah I thought about it and fell asleep while thinking. So fitting this is the trash update, lol.

[signal igloo]

the tears are feeling like 2016 again

[celest bison]

like that one patch we got that randomly had a corvette part? lol

[karmic plover]

Yea that cover is actually peak

[celest bison]

nah, this isnt as bad as launch

[signal igloo]

heh

[celest bison]

trust me, i have been playing since 2016

only up

[cobalt bear]

also

[patent oar]

You will be a space garbage man, and you will be happy

[cobalt bear]

like

[signal igloo]

well you are not reading the chat without having seen the update

[cobalt bear]

oh, this expedition is giving me nanites for scrap

nanites for what

[karmic plover]

I was pretty happy with it

Until i did the exped

[signal igloo]

i wanted all this in space

[cobalt bear]

there is no ship, there is no space station, there are no vendors

[karmic plover]

Sucked out all of the happiness and fun

[signal igloo]

not on the ground

[karmic plover]

😭

[cobalt bear]

i literally, literally cannot spend these rewards this save

what is the point

and then theres like

[celest bison]

yeah, if this update did, BOTH it might have been something more substantial

[patent oar]

It carries over at the end

[signal igloo]

i wanted to salvage space wrecks

[celest bison]

make space stations where the salvage happens

[signal igloo]

that was cool

[celest bison]

not another random clutter surface structure that nobody wants

[solemn bane]

Reading chat, fell into a hole. fml. lmao.

[celest bison]

this update only serves to make no ship starts harder as well

[karmic plover]

Thats what happened to me too

😭

[celest bison]

cus of the new structures

oh same here

[cobalt bear]

oh wow, sac venom, uranium, and liquid explosive for completing these

for what

i cant unlock blueprints or sell!

[celest bison]

i should be finishing the expo and just BEING DONE

[cobalt bear]

these just clog my inventory for no reason!

[celest bison]

its not even inventory.

its the cargo bed.

[karmic plover]

I dont want to complain all the time but man

[signal igloo]

can you base up?

[celest bison]

same, but this update is so mid i have to

[karmic plover]

Glory to hello games but this update is just not it for me

[cobalt bear]

no

[celest bison]

surely we get the first balance patch of these thing having a MUCH higher nanite value

[cobalt bear]

not that you'd want to, without the ability to teleport to base

[celest bison]

anyways im going back to finishing the expo

its 3:30am'

[karmic plover]

Genuinely a 4/10 update, a single corvette part wouldve made it a 7/10 for me 😭

[signal igloo]

i thought getting a base would open the blueprint kiosks

[patent oar]

Yeah its not the strongest update, though I still enjoy it more than the fishing update

[celest bison]

i should get this done and sleep

[celest bison]

s a m e

[naive crypt]

Ngl, this exped is kinda fun

A bit slow, but fun

[celest bison]

and we know there are some in the files, waiting to be added,

[karmic plover]

Was fun at the first part

[celest bison]

it gets repetitive fast,

[karmic plover]

After that its just slog

[outer lotus]

I hope some of the next stuff allows us to use the abandoned stations, or automation capabilities.

[celest bison]

and once you loose your cargo down a hill the first time, you will think that no longer

[cobalt bear]

like

[woeful osprey]

i just saw a vr player
they kept trying to invite me lol
told them no and they punched me

[karmic plover]

LMAO

[cobalt bear]

this is not the kind of milestone of a non-grindy expedition

[celest bison]

o h g o d

imagine this expo in vr

[cobalt bear]

oh, good, you did the thing! do it sixty more times.

[celest bison]

actualy no im

[signal igloo]

you mean /s?

[celest bison]

no.

[clear vigil]

can the expedition be done solo like others?

[woeful osprey]

is it this bad?

[outer lotus]

Throw it at the sentinels. Target practice!

[patent oar]

Its pretty fun, though I wish it was more difficult to haul scrap

[celest bison]

y e s

[woeful osprey]

looool

[stuck marsh]

ok so how to i find waypoints ?

[cobalt bear]

for an expedition stuck on one planet in the slowest vehicle in the game

there

[karmic plover]

Yes and you should not do exped in multiplayer anyways

[cobalt bear]

sure isn't a lot to do on this one planet

[unkempt sphinx]

id be doing it in vr if i wasnt out of double a's for my controllers lol, it honestly seems like itd make the more grindy parts fun since itd be more immersive

[celest bison]

i would not want to drive in first person not knowing WHAT THE STATE OF MY CARGO IS FOR 5 HOURS.

[stuck marsh]

scan for more alien strustures?

[karmic plover]

So real

[signal igloo]

but THEY are fun with MP on

[celest bison]

TRUST ME, BAD IDEA

[signal igloo]

mostly

[fair iris]

you can literaly pick up the same piece of junk and just shoot it against a wall and catch during midflight or press left and right mouse button alternating over and over

[clear vigil]

ah, "community expedition" is just to differenciate with "frigate expeditions", thx

[karmic plover]

Super fun with mp on but man

The bugs are wow

[unkempt sphinx]

im not bothering with cargo till im near the rendevous so

[celest bison]

like its taken me 5h to do this, non vr, and thats in 3rd person where i can monitor my cargo.

[celest bison]

still gotta take it all back

[clear vigil]

what VR headset?

[fair iris]

so when do waste heaps respawn? because this is terrible

[unkempt sphinx]

q3

[karmic plover]

best part of the update

[unkempt sphinx]

had a q2 but upgraded for christmas

[signal igloo]

my pal and I were doing the redux of normandy and had to break group to get the reveal

[karmic plover]

[cobalt bear]

now

[solemn bane]

Hit a small bump, every piece of waste goes flying into the ether

Computer: Cargo loss detected!
Me: Yeah, I think I detected that, too.

[cobalt bear]

while this expedition was inherently a bad idea

it would have been so much better

if instead of being locked to one planet by way of no starship, we were locked to one planet because only one planet is in this system and there's no warp drive

[stuck marsh]

anyone know how i find waypoint beacons?>

[cobalt bear]

if you could fly between the dumps, summon your truck, and then drive back to the salvage shop

there would be so much less wasted downtime

[celest bison]

i mean, if there was a voice alert for loosing cargo, maybe its doable.

[fair iris]

theres one at every waste heap

[torpid oracle]

Alright, I'm convinced- I also agree that this expedition is not fun- and it's mostly because of the planet

[celest bison]

but god it would still suck

[stuck marsh]

thank you kind sir

[celest bison]

worst typo of my life

[karmic plover]

Or just make the POI closer tbh

[cobalt bear]

they should do that too tbh

[karmic plover]

I dont want to drive for 15 mins and 15 mins back

[rain laurel]

I'm bout ready to quit and I've only just started phase 3

[acoustic jacinth]

Is there a way to get to the Space Anomaly? I wanna get the stuff from my Primary Save to my Expedition.

[torpid oracle]

Would it have been hard to find a waste planet that's flatter with closer POIs?

[karmic plover]

And be focused all those 15 mins

[celest bison]

the last one for me, is 20 mins away, im in for a 20 min drive back

[rain laurel]

Nope

[karmic plover]

Bcs if i hit a bump?

[celest bison]

thats almost an hour, FOR ONE

[fair iris]

so...much...fun :🤢

[celest bison]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[acoustic jacinth]

Bummer.

[celest bison]

this expo is by far the worst

[karmic plover]

Boom all of your stuff explodes

[signal igloo]

alrighty gang be well - i'll be back

[celest bison]

this update isnt too bad, its just mid

[karmic plover]

Holy shit

[celest bison]

this expo on the other hand

[acoustic jacinth]

But if I finish my expedition, does my items thst i put into the cargo before launching the expedition are still there or no?

[celest bison]

anyways im almost there, time for a 20 min dirve back

[karmic plover]

The 6 waypoint shit is so tedious too

[celest bison]

900u remain

[karmic plover]

Goodluck

[torpid oracle]

Even the update is... disappointing. Like, you get a couple hundred nanites for 30+min of work?

[karmic plover]

May you find 0 potholes

[clear vigil]

I await Gabe Frame

[karmic plover]

20 for each shit you throw in

Which is

Actually pocket change

[celest bison]

im deadass tempted to script write, and do a video on this

[torpid oracle]

I'm glad they added to the Colossus but I don't really see myself ever doing dumpster truck simulator in this game for the pennies they hand out

[celest bison]

I NEVER DO SCRIPTED YT OR TWITCH

BUT THIS IS PUSHING MY LIMITS

[smoky trail]

is anyone else having issues with the roadsigns mission

[cobalt bear]

nope

[smoky trail]

the waypoints arent counting for me

[solemn bane]

I can't wait for the youtube videos on this one. "New Expedition: Remnant. Finish in 14 hours using this guide!"

[karmic plover]

real

[cobalt bear]

not until after you fully complete the expedition

[torpid oracle]

Try turning off multiplayer

[karmic plover]

For pennies is crazy

[celest bison]

oh

guys

[acoustic jacinth]

Bigger Bummer!

[copper trail]

ok who named the birds batman

[outer lotus]

It may be more useful for newer players as an early way to get nanites.

[celest bison]

i figgured out, WHY the pay for items is so low

[karmic plover]

20....

[acoustic jacinth]

I may struggle with this expedition. I wanna get the Colossus Upgrades.

[celest bison]

its to simulate real wages!!!!!!!!!!!!

hello games

WOW

such realisim

[karmic plover]

You get more by fishing 😭

[celest bison]

SUCH PRAISE FOR IT

[karmic plover]

Or just by selling the alien eggs

[torpid oracle]

Like- imagine each scrap gave like, 100+ nanites- wouldn't even be unbalanced bc you normally don't even get the colossus until 6-12 hours into the game
Or at least I don't

[celest bison]

funnily enough i think this can be true for real life as well

[karmic plover]

Biohorror

[celest bison]

truck drivers make shi all

[karmic plover]

Yup

100 is a good balance

[smoky trail]

ah i see

man thats stupid

[karmic plover]

Bring 10 cargo = 1k nanites

But 20?

💀

Pennies for essentially a 20 min chore

And you gotta be focused on the drive back

[celest bison]

i feel like it should even be more than that, 5 for 1.

[hardy creek]

so...
Hypothetically... if one discovered 5 of 6 creatures with their regular visor, because of the ingrained knee jerk and getting rediculous spawn rates...
How screwed am i?

[karmic plover]

Yeah

[left hare]

They did it again, didn't they?

[celest bison]

verry.

[cobalt bear]

they be like

[celest bison]

your only hope might be cheat engine.

[hardy creek]

Damn

[celest bison]

and that will suck

[cobalt bear]

"hm, this expedition of driving the slowest vehicle in the game back and forth in straight lines needs something"

[karmic plover]

We in the future and we still have a goddamn flatbed truck

I like the flatbed trucks but man

[cobalt bear]

"I know. We'll make the players drive the slowest vehicle in the game at half speed or else they have to get out and waste time packing it again."

[outer lotus]

Probably gearing up for more things, upgrades and such. It would make sense that the excavator blade gets a few upgrades. It looks ridiculously small on the colossus.

[cobalt bear]

"Genius!"

[stuck marsh]

dude etheres no way 6 waypoints . takes 30 min for each

[karmic plover]

Is it dogshit for hauling stiff

[static grove]

Scan the last with the scope on the colossus it will complete the milestone

[torpid oracle]

I wish it just just straight lines- these hills are brutal

[karmic plover]

[smoky trail]

no mans sky try not to be overly buggy challenge (impossible)

[rain laurel]

Answer: ship

[cobalt bear]

it is straight lines. straight up hills.

awful hills.

[wheat chasm]

My task has broken down or something. I've already brought waste five times, but the expedition task isn't counting. Am I doing something wrong?

[cobalt bear]

good thing they removed the ship from this expedition

might have been tolerable otherwise

[karmic plover]

Special waste?

The radioactive, explosive, toxic

[cobalt bear]

They can't have my brand. I have... special waste.

[karmic plover]

Has to be that

Not some random stuff

[rain laurel]

Ikr

[torpid oracle]

Also the excavator blades only giving one resource each? One???

[cobalt bear]

i think excavators give like

1-5% at most of the resources of mining it

[karmic plover]

I stand by my point that land exocrafts are essentially useless.

[cobalt bear]

which is

very, very technically

[celest bison]

the legs help

THE LEGS HELP

[karmic plover]

minotaur gets some point but the rest...

[cobalt bear]

an improvement over the 0% you get from running over

[left hare]

PS 5 and PC players get the update right away but XBox players noooooooo. We can just sit here and wait and wait and wait.

[karmic plover]

And this update did not help their cause

[warm mauve]

how long?

[karmic plover]

Just made me hate exocrafts even more

[smoky trail]

great now its not working again

[cobalt bear]

the lamest thing about the giant robot suit

[torpid oracle]

I'd rather it not clutter my exo inventory with the spare lint from the dryer

[wheat chasm]

@karmic ploverDo you need to put all five of them into that thing that spins like a mixer?

[karmic plover]

No

[cobalt bear]

is that it's a giant robot suit that's worse at combat then not being in the giant robot

[karmic plover]

Match the logos

[modest wolf]

How do I reorientate the sentinels?

[cobalt bear]

Combat is like the one thing giant robot pilots are expected to do in fiction!!!

[left hare]

Too long.

[fair iris]

oh god i just fell into a hole with like 15 waste in my cargo 😩

[karmic plover]

i feel you dawg

[wheat chasm]

@karmic plover

[cobalt bear]

but the minotaur does have climate control

[solemn bane]

This update has made me say something I have never said once in my life: I'd rather be walking.

[cobalt bear]

so that's something

[karmic plover]

Left side

3 waste disposal unit with 3 logos and colors

[karmic plover]

So fuckin true

[wheat chasm]

@karmic ploverI sent it here, but it still didn't count.

[outer lotus]

They all have climate control with the mods for it.

[celest bison]

same i dont think im touching this ever again

[torpid oracle]

Please tell me it was this one
#nms-expedition message

[karmic plover]

You DO have the special wastes right?

[celest bison]

i wonder what would happen if i used a mod i know of for this stuff

it lets you resize exocraft

[karmic plover]

Not some random waste you picked up from the ground

It has to be the special kind

[cobalt bear]

the problem with the giant robot legs being better

[left hare]

I hope Xbox players at least get the update before the expedition ends. That sure would be nice.

[cobalt bear]

is that its locked behind completing phase 4

which is locked behind getting to the 4th waste heap

which means you have to do most of the expedition before you're given something that makes it more bearable

[wheat chasm]

@karmic ploverthose with radiation symbols were thrown here in all 3

[karmic plover]

And i fking hate that you cannot precomplete this shit

You cant just bring 10 waste and complete 2 milestone

You have to get to the waste site first

[cobalt bear]

this should have been the reward for phase 1 or 2

[severe rivet]

Is it out for xbox?

[karmic plover]

Hmm thats weird then

You have the quest selected right?

[fair iris]

also the scary moment when you drive over the smallest hill on the entire planet and your cargo jumps like 5 meters into the air and you just hold your breath and hope everything lands back in your hold

[solemn bane]

Oh, it just hit me you can scrap the cold/hot protection upgrades they give you to get wiring looms and the dioxite so you can install the exo upgrades. Wonder if they will even help.

[echo solstice]

This update is really good

[torpid oracle]

You threw 5+ into those 3? And they didn't tell you that the waste was rejected?

[cobalt bear]

say sike right now

[echo solstice]

why?

[cobalt bear]

this update is not really good lmao

this update is

Okay™

[echo solstice]

What is the reason?

[cobalt bear]

and this expedition is horrible™

[echo solstice]

Why, whyyyyy

[cobalt bear]

just scroll up if you want reasons, or you can play it yourself- you will quickly learn

[torpid oracle]

I don't think you want -50% forwards grip lmfao

[haughty merlin]

Am I blind, or is it impossible to acquire paraffinium for the expedition intro

[celest bison]

god i love having the settings cranked.

[echo solstice]

ok

[cobalt bear]

has to be crafted

[wheat chasm]

yes, from the expedition, the last one

[karmic plover]

Refine pyrite & ferrite

[celest bison]

you mix pyryte with ferrite

[haughty merlin]

omg 😭

[karmic plover]

[atomic estuary]

follow instruction the game gives you, mine pyrite and refine it together with ferrite dust

[formal lagoon]

what happens if u already scanned all the creatures on planet

are u cooked?

[karmic plover]

Cooked

[atomic estuary]

yes

[celest bison]

yep

[karmic plover]

Burnt

[haughty merlin]

I am blind, thank you

[karmic plover]

GG no re

[slate drum]

can someone please give me a starship im aint driving for 20 minutes straight

[smoky trail]

did hello games even playtest this expedition

[woven bramble]

sean forgot

[karmic plover]

You gotta do it man

[formal lagoon]

guess ill have to restart expedition lol

[atomic estuary]

[cobalt bear]

oh joy, a softlock

[rain laurel]

I REALLY feel like they didn't

[modest wolf]

This updates peak

[cobalt bear]

this gets better and better

[smoky trail]

yeah

[modest wolf]

I enjoy it

[woven bramble]

it blocks even if it repairs

[atomic estuary]

Good luck to you all

[modest wolf]

Having a dump truck is amazing

[signal igloo]

it is sounding like someone that often plays no ship challenges and runs to find a different ship for several hours might have fun in the expedition?

[smoky trail]

yeah the update is nice but this expedtion is 💀

[modest wolf]

I only do expeditions to kill time

[karmic plover]

GG

[modest wolf]

Rewards are nice

[smoky trail]

yeah

[karmic plover]

Im contemplating to just save edit the rewards

[torpid oracle]

...maybe? Probably not. This is a very bad expedition- because you can't even mindlessly go in one direction- you have to be careful not to drop anything while going over sharp bumps and hills

[wintry void]

just completed expedition.....it was different at least

[woven bramble]

Sean had 3 months to come up with an expedition because of reduxes

[slate drum]

i spent 40 MINUTES to complete this shit

[smoky trail]

this expedition is just death stranding but bad

[ornate portal]

any tips on finding this dumbass dinural bird?

[solemn bane]

Ancient curse: May your expeditions be different.

[cobalt bear]

ill say it again

[woven bramble]

when i lost cargo down hill i said im done

[atomic estuary]

I was just using waypoints next to the heaps

[cobalt bear]

when it comes to these trucking games

[karmic plover]

That actually did not count for me idk why

[smoky trail]

because with death standing its actually fun to travel around because you got ziplines and other cool stuff

[cobalt bear]

deciding to challenge rough terrain is supposed to be the risky but expediant option, compared to the longer but safer path

[karmic plover]

I had to find houses

😭 😭 😭

[cobalt bear]

this world is all rough risky terrain

and it is not expediant

[wintry void]

i used the roads

[signal igloo]

what?

[cobalt bear]

spending 20 minutes driving at half speed is not engaging gameplay and literally anyone could have told them as much

[slate drum]

waypoint thing

[left hare]

"Too bad Xbox players. You're playing on a console no one likes so you can just F off. No update for you."

[torpid oracle]

This at the balls on this guy- he's going at half speed
The rest of us can't afford to go faster than a snail's pace

[cobalt bear]

dw, microslop will simply vibecode the update in for you

[karmic plover]

Im just.... what even is the point

[cloud oxide]

Wait seriously?

[celest bison]

im listening to death stnading 2's main theme for the final stretch

im

SO CLOSE

[solemn bane]

I envy them rn tbh

[cobalt bear]

you know what, you're right. half speed is too exciting to risk

[woven bramble]

sean did a great thing with corvettes but this... this is just straight up trash, like the whole update is trash, its contents trash

[smoky trail]

death stranding is this type of gameplay done right

[karmic plover]

Bro

[cobalt bear]

i actually like death stranding, so im going to say:

[elder acorn]

...and I already scanned 5/6 fauna.... hope this triggers with just one scan from the colossus

[torpid oracle]

I'd give it an 8/10 update if the waste gave 5-10x as many nanites

[wintry void]

literally collecting it

[karmic plover]

A CLOSED bed truck would almost solve all of these problems

[cobalt bear]

if you spent more then the opening hour of death stranding walking, you were doing it wrong

[chilly latch]

Field Guide seems like it's bugged

[karmic plover]

C L O S E D B E D

[smoky trail]

i do as well

[cobalt bear]

the game immediately gives you a vehicle and straight roads for a reason

[celest bison]

IT IS.

[cobalt bear]

it didn't, for example

[karmic plover]

WE IN THE FUTURE AND WE STILL USE GODDAMN OPEN BED TRUCKS

[cobalt bear]

make you constantly struggle with unsecured cargo on rough terrain 100% of the time

[karmic plover]

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[cobalt bear]

for hours of slow walking

unlike some updates i could mention right now

[karmic plover]

I mean its cool but

Why tf

[celest bison]

WHAT KIND OF FUTURE DOESNT AT A MINIMUM HAVE TIEDOWNS

[karmic plover]

YOURE RIGHG

[rain laurel]

FACTS

[karmic plover]

FRICKIN TIE DOWNS

[cobalt bear]

death stranding also had tie-downs, by the way

[karmic plover]

ROPES

Holy shit

[stuck marsh]

Magnetic bed

[cobalt bear]

if you used your Strand on the hover-carrier you could tie down your cargo to it

[rain laurel]

MINIMUM OF 2 TIES DOWNS NO MATTER THE LOAD

[karmic plover]

Instead we get these fuckass laser wall bed

[left hare]

Seriously by the time the update comes to Xbox, the expedition might be over.

[karmic plover]

Looks cool and thats it

[celest bison]

SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[cobalt bear]

my brother in Atlas, that's the point

[stuck marsh]

u guys forgot to enable the magnetic bed?

[cobalt bear]

this whole update is "we added a physics gun, please look at our physics"

[karmic plover]

💀 💀 💀 💀

[cobalt bear]

the entire point of the truck was to show off the bouncing physics

[celest bison]

deadass i hope the devs intend to build on this more

instead of it being one and done

[karmic plover]

Cargo genuinely weighs like papers

[smoky trail]

yeah i agree

[tepid grove]

does the expedition contain any fishing

[harsh acorn]

where can i get paraffium??

[blazing fossil]

Why do we need to get 48 fking waste things for phase 5???

[blazing fossil]

Pyrite + Ferrite dust

[karmic plover]

Feels like i could just sneeze on it and itll just fly at mach 1

The TINIEST bump just throws all of your cargo out

[cobalt bear]

nope

[karmic plover]

Especially those wavy ground

[cobalt bear]

this expedition does not include most things

[celest bison]

music climaxed as it came into view

absolute cinema

[cobalt bear]

you unlock basically no technology

[karmic plover]

Slams your trucks backside and it just becomes a goddamn catapult

[cobalt bear]

and get a tiny handful of pre-packaged technology

[karmic plover]

💀

[cobalt bear]

you're limited to 1 (one) planet

so anything that would involve the resources of multiple planets

is a no go

[plucky vault]

So I can’t repair ship and leave planet?

[karmic plover]

No

[cobalt bear]

no.

[karmic plover]

You wish you can

I wish i can leave this goddamn planet

[woven bramble]

Sean saw a dump truck go by his house sometime in november when reduxes were out and he thought of an update idea

[plucky vault]

How do I get my stuff I placed in the box at anomaly

[cobalt bear]

this update is very...

[karmic plover]

You dont

[plucky vault]

Really that’s dumb

[karmic plover]

I was genuinely excited for this

[cobalt bear]

"we're nowhere finished with the actual update, but we haven't had a new expedition in a while, so here's one feature of the actual update and some random nonsense around it"

[karmic plover]

Ive always liked trucking

But this is just not it

[solemn bane]

Sean saw a dog taking a dump by his house sometime in november when reduxes were out and he thought of an update idea

[woven bramble]

sean tried trucking in a starship game

[karmic plover]

Sucked out all of the fun for me

[cobalt bear]

imagine:

if you wanted some real space trucking

[ornate portal]

bro im 1 objective from completing the expedition, know what it is?

finding a single fucking bird

[cobalt bear]

tractor beam for your corvette where you stop in space, gather loot with your gravity gun, put it in the tractor beam hold

[woven bramble]

its its in space it aint trucking

[karmic plover]

💀 💀 💀 💀

[cobalt bear]

and have to fly it back to a space station without pirates knocking it off your ship

[plucky vault]

How do I get out of expedition normal you go to anomaly dont you

[versed tree]

PRO TIP: Do all of the checkpoint tasks first, then a single "Road Trip" with 5 special cargo will complete ALL Roadtrip tasks from all phases!

[cobalt bear]

that would be closer to gameplay then

"driving as slowly as i can"

[woven bramble]

if you want some trucking just play ED

[stuck marsh]

Trucking Space Simulator 26

[karmic plover]

WAIT

HUGE

[torpid oracle]

I wish I saw this 2 hours ago

[karmic plover]

I COULDVE DONE THAT FROM THE START

FUUUUUUUCCCCC

IM AT FKING PHASE 4

[celest bison]

i hate you. so much.

[karmic plover]

💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀

[celest bison]

like

[heady gazelle]

Anyone else having issues finding the final mineral in the Pettology quest thingo?

[karmic plover]

Yes

[celest bison]

im going to find you and end you for telling me this.

[woven bramble]

idk what ur talking abt

[celest bison]

in any case

time to be done with this.

i achived something because i did this legit

[unkempt sphinx]

so dont bother going for the special industrial waste tasks til lyou reach the end?

[celest bison]

this is true, doing all of them in order helps with that

im desperately trying to justify the last 5 hours of my life

[stuck marsh]

gl

[heady gazelle]

Have any ideal where the final one could be?

[smoky trail]

the stupid number wont go up

[stuck marsh]

i had mods enabled and i couldnt even see the waste at all

[karmic plover]

Ive heard its just a small rock

[kindred robin]

Bro is the update seriously up for everyone but Xbox?

[cobalt bear]

im just gonna highlight this:

people getting unironically hype and excited

[heady gazelle]

I’ve found a small rock named BigRock, but nothing smaller

[ornate portal]

im confused , if we completed the expedition where do we get the rest of the colossus parts?

[versed tree]

All phases have a "Checkpoint" and "Roadtrip" task at the end, and each one has the preceeding checkpoint task as an unlock parameter. If you do all of their checkpoint tasks first to unlock their ongoing status, delivering 5 special cargo will count it for all of them instead of one by one

MEANING you basically hit 5 birds with one stone

[cobalt bear]

over the chance to skip as much of the content of this expedition as possible

[karmic plover]

Cant do these in a waste POI

I did mine on random ass houses

[cobalt bear]

i think that says it all

[smoky trail]

im at a shelter

[karmic plover]

Thats weird

[karmic plover]

Mine was stuck at 5/6 too

And i just went to a random house

[ornate portal]

thank f

[celest bison]

SAME LOL

[karmic plover]

Time to be done

[heady gazelle]

Hey hey, could we have an image of the minerals you’ve found? I can’t find the last one

[cobalt bear]

side note

the useless plow that gives 1% of resources?

[celest bison]

yeah sure,

[cobalt bear]

i get the feeling this was added purely to incentivize players to not feel bad about having to turn as little as possible to keep crap from falling out of your truckbed

[sullen solstice]

Can people steal waste from yor car?

[solemn bane]

Time to speed run it on your main save go go!

[heady gazelle]

Probably

[woeful osprey]

lol

[ornate portal]

they cant

[celest bison]

all 8 rocks

can we get a mod in here to pin this?

probs super usefull

or smthn like that

idk

i cant belive im finaly done

i did this in one sitting.

[blazing fossil]

Im at 7/8 rocks…

[celest bison]

i am dedicated as hell

[heady gazelle]

These are the minerals I’ve found, I’m just missing one

[celest bison]

heres hoping the screenshot helps

[celest bison]

oh, your rocks are different????

[grave helm]

How do I collect waste while my truck doesn't have the flatbed?

I'm on normal game

[mellow badge]

having no ship sucks, I started getting harrassed by a pirate and it would not leave me alone no matter what, just got to 2nd rdv and had to quit

[heady gazelle]

Yaaa, I don’t think our rocks are meant to differ

[royal sentinel]

So I got soflocked on the Safari part 🙁

[smoky trail]

you dont

you gotta get the flatbed

[runic crescent]

how long does it take

[unkempt sphinx]

looking at the other planets in the sky on this expedition like a caveman stares at the stars

[royal sentinel]

I am to scan 2 creatures and I got 5/6 scanned.

[celest bison]

took me like, 5-6h 💀

[lost sky]

Wat

[rain laurel]

This truck is seriously gonna make me commit war crimes against the vykeen for no reason

[celest bison]

ill check in a sec

[runic crescent]

yeah no ill wait for mod updates

[blazing fossil]

Im in the exact same boat, same rocks and everything

[unkempt sphinx]

is there a way to swap back to main save since theres no anomaly or

[celest bison]

wow, nevermind, 3.2h

[mellow badge]

has 10 items in bed, lost 4 because I was on the side of a mountain without realizing it and they fell out

[celest bison]

NEVERMIND, its 3.2

my time perception is just dodo

felt WAYYYY longer tho

[runic crescent]

is it easy to do?

[celest bison]

this one is a slog

[grave helm]

How? I'm not on the expedition tho, normal game

[celest bison]

well, if 3h felt like double that,

no.

its tedious and hell

[daring briar]

Where do I make the flatbed ? I made the scraper .. but seems like it things I made the flatbed when I didnt

[celest bison]

mods wont even help.

[runic crescent]

so im better off waiting for consumerism to update :)

[tribal cypress]

Where is the first check point I can't find a waypont for it

[shut ridge]

Can't complete the waypoint One

Broken

[celest bison]

better off using the save editor and not doing it at all.

[heady gazelle]

Roooooccksss, I hate the rock quest!!

[blazing fossil]

Finally!
ITS THE FINAL MINERAL

[runic crescent]

im not sure if any save editors are updated atm

[heady gazelle]

WHEERE ARE YOU?

[celest bison]

no, will take about a week or two

[mellow badge]

you customize your truck using the summon pad thingy

[torpid oracle]

Huh. Found a natural base computer on the expedition world?

[royal sentinel]

Is there a way to reset scanning? Otherwise I fear I am going to not be able to complete the Expedition. I am to scan 2 creatures from Exocraft and I scanned 5-6 before this quest.

[smoky trail]

maybe ill take a break from the expadition for now

[heady gazelle]

Base time

[smoky trail]

the waypoints are just not working

[celest bison]

yep those occur, its a remnant from 2016

[mellow badge]

I have not scanned a single thing because of the soft lock mentioned

[celest bison]

back in the day you fond bases over placing them wherever.

[torpid oracle]

Yeah, just wasn't expecting one on an expedition world

[versed tree]

I'm so glad i got snowrunner experience, this expedition is fun for me

[celest bison]

its an edgecase

[mellow badge]

funny, a Remnant inside the Remnant Expedition

[celest bison]

it checks.

[cobalt bear]

wait a minute

[solemn bane]

I just did it, I assume the one people are missing is the second, smaller rock on the mountaintops. Easy to miss.

[cobalt bear]

i just realized i dont have to sort at the station

if you dont sort you get less nanites, but literally who cares

you cannot spend nanites in this save

[celest bison]

yeah lol

[heady gazelle]

Can you send me an image of what the rock looks like?

[cobalt bear]

that'll save some time

[mellow badge]

you can, random pilots will land and offer you upgrade modules for nanites

[daring briar]

ok I see now .. that wsnt exactly intuitive lol

[versed tree]

this expedition actually focuses on the land for once instead of space, its a breath of fresh air to just land cruise a heavy rig instead of pulsing around for crafting materials

[torpid oracle]

In case anyone wants the location for the naturally spawning base... though I don't know if the current location works- I've never used it before

[celest bison]

wow im tired.

[celest bison]

4am

[cobalt bear]

oh, that sounds...

[celest bison]

was it worth it.

no.

[cobalt bear]

...not like something i can rely on as a gameplay mechanic.

[celest bison]

did i do it anyways?

yes

do i regret it

yes.

[heady gazelle]

Is the rock that small bump?

[runic crescent]

gotta love FOMO items in games

[cobalt bear]

heres hoping for a 1% chance of a pilot landing in front of me i guess

[mellow badge]

bought a mining beam upgrade, it sucked, so I deconstructed it and used the free wiring loom to make a shield for my multitool

[unkempt sphinx]

its definitely not everyones cup of tea but i recently did a no startership save on an abandoned permadeath run so i think its fun in the aspect that it helps you get attached to the planet youre on

[solemn bane]

The ones in the light, yes. I knew right away that would be the one people missed, lol

[mellow badge]

ive had 2 pilots land near me already

[heady gazelle]

I GOT IT, YIPPPE

[bold shuttle]

If you guys are stressing and struggling to get 8 minerals just wait until you get your ship. Fly to another planet and scan a couple extras

[grave helm]

How?

[torpid oracle]

Which is why cwmonkey's expedition generator is, in my opinion, the greatest thing anyone has ever made for NMS

[smoky trail]

i think you gotta find a scrap depo

[runic crescent]

oh no i just dont like Expeditions as a whole. they shouldnt be time exclusive at all.

[celest bison]

yep, i hate expos, nms DID NOT NEED FOMO

ITS SO DUMB

so

i normaly save edit

[mellow badge]

there are 2 monitors on the Exocraft summoning pad, one summons the vehicle, the other customizes it (like change color, etc) it has more options now for colossus (change wheels, change cab, change bed, etc)

[runic crescent]

corvette update did it right by NOT UNLOCKING the outfit customization behind exped.

[ornate portal]

so where do we get the rest of the new colossus parts?

[celest bison]

i dont know why or what compelled me to do this one legit

[cobalt bear]

and when does that happen?

[blazing fossil]

RDVZ 4 time…

[royal sentinel]

Welp, I guess I will have to use save editor cuz I won't be able to complete this one...

[celest bison]

anyways i log off now, adios

[runic crescent]

im not gonna play until save edit is updated sooo

[cobalt bear]

the final dumps ite?

[blazing fossil]

Another snail pace crawl with a truck load of cargo

[versed tree]

Yeah, i actually think a better progression for the player would be Nothing > Base > Exocraft > Starship/Corvette > Settlement > Freighter, atleast for a hardcore run

[torpid oracle]

That's my point- his generator makes expeditions and the items they have non-time exclusive (for PC anyways)

[mellow badge]

probably unlock via milestones

[bold shuttle]

Yea

[cobalt bear]

its Something™

[ornate portal]

where would i check that

[mellow badge]

look at what the milestone rewards are in the expeditions tab?

[ornate portal]

oh , no dude i completed the expedition

[smoky trail]

alright imma stop playing for now

[ornate portal]

it doesnt award you all the parts

[solemn bane]

I like playing expeditions.

Sorry, that should have been past tense.

[cobalt bear]

you know what i just noticed

[blazing fossil]

#nms-questions for non expedition related stuff

[mellow badge]

ask google? I just started EXP a bit ago, only just now got to rdv 2

[grave helm]

Weird it didn't have the bed option for mine. I gotta go to the waste station first I guess

[royal sentinel]

PHase 1 Flux Calibration unlock Dumptruck part for Exocraft

[cobalt bear]

your vehicle actively drives slower when loaded down with cargo

[ornate portal]

its literally expedtion related

[proper flume]

...

[royal sentinel]

Phase 2 Auto Mechanics unlocks the plow

[cobalt bear]

i notice this because i was keeping track of my top speed when confirming what order to slot the upgrades in

[proper flume]

Well.

[blazing fossil]

The colossus parts that aren’t from the expedition are not expedition related

[royal sentinel]

Phase 3 Motor Optics unlocks scope

[bold shuttle]

adding weight makes a vehicle slower??? 🤯

[ornate portal]

ok symantics , its still on topic because they were introduced in the expedition

and because others may have completed it in here ,its valid to ask them

[mellow badge]

did you collect the milestone rewards, one of em unlocks it

[royal sentinel]

Yeah well I reached PHase 3 and sadly game does not warn you NOT TO SCAN Creatures

[weary oracle]

are ships unavailable in expedition?

[cobalt bear]

realistic? yes
fun? look, you're already asking me to spend 20 minutes driving back and forth, this is a literal chore

[shut ridge]

The waypoint milestone is broken

[mellow badge]

Do Pirate Ships despawn if you quit and reload your save?

[cobalt bear]

reggie had it right in this case im afraid

⁨If it's not fun, why bother?⁩

gaben, too

[bold shuttle]

Then dont play it if you dont like it

[cobalt bear]

he said the same for portal iirc

[royal sentinel]

Oh, don't forget the terrain is so rugged that if you need to drive with waste you are adding more time to avoid losing everything

[cobalt bear]

Your spirited and logical defense of the inclusion of this concept inspires me.

[shut ridge]

The Planet is awful for this type of expedition

[proper flume]

Bear in mind NMS has futuristic tech. Emphasis on this era has corvettes who can somehow be tuned to fly as fast as fighters of smaller size.
Weight should not bother a vehicle by this point this much. You have rewards only tied to this expedition that says if you want it, slog through. You want players to have fun, not dread whats supposed to be fun and new.

[bold shuttle]

I dont think its that deep tbh. Some like it some dont. You dont HAVE to do the exped

[proper flume]

I can tell you didn't read the full last sentence bits.

Tied. Rewards.

[cobalt bear]

do they

[heady gazelle]

What if we buy a ship during the expedition, would that let us go off world?

[cobalt bear]

please point out someone here who actively likes it and isn't just tolerating it

[bold shuttle]

Rewards tied to this expedition? Welcome to expeditions

[cobalt bear]

with what credits?

something you can sell to the trade centers that always spawn literally an hour away?

[solemn bane]

"NeverAllowShipPurchases":true

[mellow badge]

people who enjoy games like American/European Truck Simulator will enjoy this expedition

[unkempt sphinx]

-# i kinda like the expedition my only issue is just how long the drive to the first waypoint is

[cobalt bear]

as i mentioned, there are distinct differences between E/A truck sims and this

[main dawn]

Has anyone completed it?

[cobalt bear]

E/A truck sims actually have terrain designed for the goal, for one.

[proper flume]

Long time no speak, but yeah. How big is that niche though?

[mellow badge]

no idea, I just played in VR till I needed a break

[shut ridge]

How can I complete the road signs milestone its stuck at 5

[ashen pebble]

Anyone know why my charts arent adding up?

I saved a waypoint and its not counted it

[ruby bloom]

Chat I done goofed, I'm at 5/6 creatures scanned and I gotta scan 2 creatures with the cyclops scope

[bold shuttle]

For each rendevous point you dont have to drive there just back. Hold melee and spam reload on the bolt caster

[cobalt bear]

in truck sims, you can either take the long, slow path that's safe

or you can take aggressive shortcuts and worse terrain if you're Hard Enough to risk screwing up

[idle egret]

where do i look for paraffinium

[storm fiber]

where does the green barrels go? I have trouble with them\

[cobalt bear]

here the terrain is all the slowest path and the hardest path. it's unironically the worst parts of both aspects

[ruby bloom]

Pyrite plus pure ferrite

In the refinery

[idle egret]

TY

[main dawn]

Uh oh

[ruby bloom]

I'm done😔

[main dawn]

That is a recipe??

[heady gazelle]

Daaarrrrn

[bold shuttle]

Once you have access to your ship you can scan them and minerals on the other planets

[ruby bloom]

Apparently yeah

[main dawn]

So is that like a soft lock?

[ruby bloom]

WHERE IS IT THO

[cobalt bear]

anyway

[ruby bloom]

I hope not😭

[main dawn]

Man I need to get the Radiant pillar

[cobalt bear]

they can probably salvage this expedition

mostly

[bold shuttle]

after 5th phase you get it

[heady gazelle]

I really like the new props added in this update, I hope they add em to the building menu!

[cobalt bear]

if they make the magnetic field thing more aggressively strong

[main dawn]

I started my save on the redux 19 so I never got it

[ruby bloom]

I GOTTA SCAN FOR PHASE 3

[cobalt bear]

so you can actually drive at full speed without sending crap flying unless you actively ramp off something or fall into a ditch

if you can drive full speed and only lose cargo when the player screws up, that's the ideal

[main dawn]

I need to wait for another expedition that starts you off with it so I can bring it to my main save

[bold shuttle]

You dont have to complete it

[cobalt bear]

as opposed to losing cargo because the terrain shrugged

[ruby bloom]

OHH HELL YEAH TY

[main dawn]

Also, Xbox player here

[shut ridge]

Does anyone know how to complete the waypoint milestone

[karmic juniper]

How do I get the flatbed modification onto my main save?

[main dawn]

People out here done with it or getting soft locked while I am still on Voyagers 😭

[bold shuttle]

I havent completed 3, 4 or 5 and have my ship, Just do the main checkpoints and road trips

[main dawn]

Hopefully I get the update tomorrow or AT LEAST on friday

[rain laurel]

Bro I can't with this I give up good luck to everyone else 🙏

[shut ridge]

How can I complete the way point milestone???

[cobalt bear]

oh nevermind

[shut ridge]

Its stuck at 5/6

[cobalt bear]

you actually DO need to sort the crap

the 'salvage all' doesnt count

[main dawn]

I am so confused

[karmic juniper]

I turned multiplayer off and then grabbed the beacon map thing at every location

[proper patio]

The cyclops thingy automatically completes once there's no more creatures on the planet to scan

Or at least it did it that for me, I didn't even had the cyclops installed at that point

[weary oracle]

No starship??

[smoky trail]

for me its still not working

[ruby bloom]

Yep just found out

[solemn bane]

This ain't no space game, this here's a truck drivin game.

[stuck marsh]

does processing plants have beacons?

[proper patio]

No man's garbage truck simulator

[stuck marsh]

im losing my mind with the 6 waypoints

[smoky trail]

same

i feel like this is some sort of bug

[halcyon saffron]

the final milestones suck so much good lord. already a 20 minute roundtrip and you're at the whims of rng if you get enough of the junk types you need

[stuck marsh]

i only have 3 and when i scan for waste things it just shows the one i was at

can we go to ruins and use those?

[versed tree]

By the way guys, there are people that find pain and annoyance fun, let HG satisfy those guys needs too

[proper patio]

Yes

[daring briar]

how do we find our starship .. I dont see the icon in the visor

[versed tree]

There is no starship, there is no freighter

[royal sentinel]

You are not supposed to use space ship in this expedition.

[versed tree]

There is only... TRUCK

[royal sentinel]

So if you end up scanning creatures early, you sofltlock yourself

Because one quest demands to scan 2 creatures from Exocraft

[cobalt bear]

or, softlock yourself until you complete the final waypoint

[crystal karma]

Wait, what?

[solemn bane]

I did this by picking up one piece of scrap, launching it straight up, then catching it and repeating 64 times, lol

[crystal karma]

Crap. I did that.

[mellow badge]

the milestone marker leading me to waste processing for Road Trip 2, ended up having me pass by a different one and it updated waypoint

[obtuse mountain]

try to finish scanning them all

someone said that autocompleted it

and they didn't even have the cyclops installed

[royal sentinel]

It was for minerals.

[ashen pebble]

Have I messed up? I havent been charting waypoints until Rendezvous 3

[proper patio]

Actually not, the exo scanning milestone autocompletes when there are no creatures left to scan

[royal sentinel]

Where do I find the last flying one then?

[bold shuttle]

Wati til you have access to the ship and scan the rest on different planets

[smoky trail]

when do you get access to the ship

[bold shuttle]

after the last checkpoint and roadtrip

[stuck marsh]

i just drove for 20 min and my shit is stuck at 3/6 waypoints fuck this

[smoky trail]

maybe ill just hold off on doing this waypoint thing until then maybe??

[torpid oracle]

It uh, almost happened again

[proper patio]

If it's flying, then look at the skies
It may take some time to spawn

[clever rain]

Phase 4 is alot of grinding

[bold shuttle]

Its a lot easier yea. It deffinetly is bugged and not all waypoints count. Im scanning for a bulding with the exocraft then flying to the save point there with the ship

[ashen pebble]

Dude my shits not even going up. Its still at 0 waypoints

[versed tree]

are you guys doing the spinny things that open up

[bold shuttle]

"Its deffinetly bugged and not all waypoints count"

[versed tree]

should not be confused with the tall towers that lead you to a place

[ashen pebble]

Yes, the waypoints

[versed tree]

it worked for me so no clue then

[proper patio]

The waypoints work alright with multiplayer off

[solemn bane]

Do you have multiplayer turned off? If not, do that.

[ashen pebble]

It is off

[fair iris]

thank god, this was not a fun experience at all

[smoky trail]

lucky

[white perch]

I love how the game doesnt know its the same one piece of industrial waste ive been launching for about 5 times already

[cobalt bear]

so

now that i hear that the robot legs makes things better

lets try out the different default wheel/track combos

[blazing fossil]

Phase 4 done, only need to do RDVZ 5, then the 16 of each hazardous waste type…but that’s for tomorrow

[cobalt bear]

and see if those impact top speed

[smoky trail]

for me its even worse because even with online off its not working

[clever rain]

Jeez I've been avoiding toxic because of the stairs lol

[fair iris]

time to go watch some streamers struggle with this one lmao

[cobalt bear]

with my current wheels and upgrades, i cap out at 66...

and thats rear treads, 4

[solemn bane]

If you're on PC I can tell you how to make it autocomplete

[smoky trail]

how

[blazing fossil]

I mean, you just walk up the stairs, and then grab them while standing up top

[cobalt bear]

default wheels, 1, is like .4 faster. not super noticable, but there

[atomic estuary]

Why use the stairs at all?

[blazing fossil]

The grav gun has some crazy range

[atomic estuary]

Just throw it

[blazing fossil]

Oh yeah we have a jetpack don’t we?

[white perch]

I'm really trying not to downplay this, but did this really need to be done in game?

[blazing fossil]

Jetpack up top
Grab toxic barrel, drop in tank, grab next barrel
No need to leave the top of the tank once you’re up there

[cobalt bear]

While 5 gets up to 6-

er, another and a half faster

[atomic estuary]

Jetpack? I mean, park, grab the stuff and launch it

[cobalt bear]

so i guess i'll stick with 5 for now

[blazing fossil]

Nope, neither did fishing, or fossils, or corvettes, or gas giants, or purple systems, or exocraft in their entirety

[white perch]

ok the fishing is actually dope though

[atomic estuary]

It super wide and has those one way walls, it's hard to miss the shot

[white perch]

and the fossils

that gives the planet more depth

gas giants adds more variety

but industrial trash?

[solemn bane]

#nms-expedition message

[white perch]

like what

corvetts took the fun out of finding ships

i stopped doing it

[blazing fossil]

Waste collecting also gives the planets more depth
I find fishing boring, I believe I would find waste collecting kinda fun if it weren’t for the horrendous terrain in the expedition

[white perch]

I legit thought this update was going to be aimed more at developing npcs and vday stuff

[cobalt bear]

corvettes are indeed the best ship type for anything but maybe pure speed in a straight line

and also turning radius, that's always bulky

[white perch]

but they were really like, ya'll collecting garbage and hurling it at things

[cobalt bear]

everything else, including basic exploration? they're the one.

[smoky trail]

where is the nms cache dir located

[cobalt bear]

why burn landing gear fuel when you can just park and TP up and down?

(i consider this a positive, tbh)

[solemn bane]

Gonna need to tell me how you're playing nms

[smoky trail]

steam

oh wait

[solemn bane]

Check the message again

[smoky trail]

saw your message

yeah

my bad

[blazing fossil]

Your arguments are based on opinions, and to answer your original question.
Nothing that has been done by HG for the past maybe 5-6 years has needed to be done for the game, they just do it anyways because they had a fun idea.

[white perch]

true true true

i am just salty cause i suck at ship design

[ornate pebble]

Is there an easy way to see all of the expedition rewards? Are there any new Corvette parts?

[cobalt bear]

No new corvette parts.

The only rewards are cosmetics for the truck, and

one wheel upgrade for the truck that has a performance improvement

[craggy sun]

The nearest waste depot is half an hour away from me

[blazing fossil]

You say fishing is dope, I say fishing is boring.
You say fossils add depth, I say waste collecting also does.
You say gas giants add variety, I say we didn’t need more variety, we still had a few trillion planets left to explore.
You say corvettes took the fun out finding ships, I say corvettes made ship finding/building fun.

All of your arguments are purely opinions

[cobalt bear]

ive said this before, and i'll repeat:

[blazing fossil]

And an armor set as final reward

[cobalt bear]

I think they should add a premade corvette ship as an expedition reward, as they add other premade ships as rewards

[white perch]

aw no ship

[cobalt bear]

why? because then players can take it to pieces

and see by deconstructing how aesthetic corvettes are made by experts

learn hands-on

[cobalt bear]

and that, i had forgotten
