nms-expedition

[solemn bane]

Normally I say fishing is the worst part of every game that has fishing in it, but NMS has proven me wrong.

[ornate pebble]

I think Corvette expansion was one of the best NMS add ons they ever had

[cobalt bear]

Agree.

[solemn bane]

I played that expedition like 12 times. I was absolutely addicted.

[smoky trail]

this right?

[blazing fossil]

Only reason I’m still playing this godforsaken expedition is the armor set

[ornate pebble]

I genuinely love games with Ship customization and it allows players to express so much creativity! I bet they will prob make player space stations or allow us to build us in space soon too XD

[solemn bane]

Yeah, to the right of that you will see the Amount

[smoky trail]

ok set the amount to zero

it was to the left

[safe locust]

Anyone know where the rare rock is?

[solemn bane]

Mountain top, it's not rare just very small

[smoky trail]

right i have mutiplayer turned off on the save im using for the expedition is that good or is there anything else i need to turn off

[stoic wing]

how do you the chart waypoints quest?

[fair iris]

there are waypoints at the heaps

[solemn bane]

Go into Steam and set it to "Offline mode" in the "Steam" dropdown menu

[smoky trail]

its bugged so not all waypoints count

[smoky trail]

ok

[stoic wing]

ah do i interact with them then or?

[hexed seal]

Is there a way to find them that doesn't involve driving across the desert for an entire hour?

[fair iris]

yes

[smoky trail]

ok it worked

now what

can i set the game back online?

[solemn bane]

Enjoy life.

[solemn bane]

Yeah.

[topaz brook]

i've hit three or four waypoint beacons and they haven't counted

[smoky trail]

ah ok

well thank you

[naive crypt]

try waypoint beacons near garbage sites

[bold shuttle]

Not all seem to count and its really inconsistent

[topaz brook]

fun

[torpid oracle]

Can someone please explain to me why they would force 1 billion bones on you as a reward for one of the milestones? This almost feels like an april fools joke at this point

[cobalt bear]

you know what, im curious

i have two of the same resource side by side

[solemn bane]

I literally checked the date after watching the trailer because I had just woken up and wasn't sure what day it was.

[waxen geode]

This is a good way 2 test sever load

[cobalt bear]

im gonna mine one of them and see how much ferrite i get, and run the other over with a plow

side by side, i will compare how efficient the plow is compared to the mining laser

[topaz brook]

plow absolutely gives lower resources

[smoky trail]

oh it says charted 0 waypoints now if i were to revert that back to 6 will it show up as incomplete again?

[cobalt bear]

17 with the laser, and 3 with the plow

[torpid oracle]

Has anyone gotten more than 5 from the blade? I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten more than 1

[cobalt bear]

I already knew it was comedically lesser, but I want to know how lesser

[solemn bane]

Oh, you probably didn't save before exiting. Make sure you do that, also you can just play offline til you're done.

[cobalt bear]

3 out of 17 is approximately 17.65%

[smoky trail]

ah well im back online now

[cobalt bear]

so it has roughly 15% effiency, give or take

[mellow badge]

found a building with a weapon terminal and a Korvax that gave me 2 words for giving Magnitized Ferite

[solemn bane]

Yeah just do the process again but save after completing.

[smoky trail]

Ok

[smoky trail]

hm seems like it saved already actually

its still at zero

and i reloaded back into offline mode

[runic crescent]

how can i auto complete the exped

[ruby bloom]

Chat what are the waypoints I gotta find

[cobalt bear]

you know

[ebon shale]

This expedtion has probably the longest time ive spent on a single planet(excluding when i build bases)

[solemn bane]

You need to make the edit again. I'd say just complete the expedition in offline mode after that milestone completes

[cobalt bear]

getting the pre-packaged increasingly powerful engine upgrades at each waste heap tells me two things

one: there's a real difference in speed between no upgrades, and three of the same tier. my truck is definitely getting measurably faster

two: even if I were to chase down good upgrades in regular gameplay, this is still way inferior to Literally Any Ship

[stoic wing]

what do they look like?

[smoky trail]

i changed it back to 6 and it still says ive done it

so would i be ok to head back online now or?

[jaunty heron]

Is there a new expedition?

[cobalt bear]

they should change the POI spawn logic so that when you scan for one in a vehicle, it's always at a distance for the basic vehicle's max speed to reach in a decent time

so that when you have a faster vehicle, you actually, wow!

get places you're going faster!

novel concept, i know.

[jaunty heron]

!exptime

[unkempt kraken]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Expedition 21: Remnant ends <t:1774447200> (approx. <t:1774447200:R>)

See Pins in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #nms-commands

[cobalt bear]

but at the moment all spawn logic for distance is based on how fast your ship can get you there

and as fast as you can make exocraft, none of them make a dent in that scale

[solemn bane]

Well, you said it saved last time then became not complete, right? If that's the case I would assume it'll do the same thing if you go online. You don't need to be online to play. You can just go back on when you're done.

[topaz brook]

i'm pretty sure distance estimates are based on current vehicle

[cobalt bear]

tldr: make vehicle speed matter by having vehicle-scanned locations actually reasonable reachable by vehicle

[ruby bloom]

HOW

[smoky trail]

no i said it saved last time and it still said i did it

[cobalt bear]

my 'distance to trading center: 1 hour` spawns would disagree

[smoky trail]

even when it said zero it was still complete and i got the rewards

[topaz brook]

probably means that's the closest one

[solemn bane]

Oh, lol, then yeah do whatever as long as it says it's completed

[topaz brook]

it's not like it's spawning the structure in

[smoky trail]

ah ok

[cobalt bear]

im pretty sure they do spawn the structure in if there's not one loaded by random chance already

[smoky trail]

i just did a save edit since the mission was bugged

[cobalt bear]

anyway, dont bother visiting the dump sites and

you know, actually hauling anything back

just visit them all in a row

get your progressive speed upgrades

and then do the rest of the expedition with a decent engine

(if you want to do the rest at all)

[solemn bane]

PC only :\

[ruby bloom]

God dammit

[slow jay]

is there a pin for things we need to bring into the expedition?

[stoic wing]

my charting milestone is not working any way to uh change it?

[solemn bane]

You can't.

[slow jay]

ooooh interesting

[torpid oracle]

I find it ironic that the waste in the back of the truck weighs nothing but the second it spawns in front of you as you're transporting stuff, it's suddenly a brick wall made of dense uranium causing you to crash and lose everything

[cobalt bear]

The expedition does not let you have a ship until the final location is visited.

So there's little point bringing anything.

[cobalt bear]

I have noticed this, too.

[versed tree]

Avoid the gravitino balls when driving folks

[noble cobalt]

So guys how we feeling?

Is the expedition any good?

[torpid oracle]

No.

[smoky trail]

no

[torpid oracle]

It is not.

[noble cobalt]

Why

[versed tree]

Yes

[spice forge]

Great but its a pain having to deal w a bunch of cargo in primary jist to get a flatbed

[smoky trail]

its death stranding if it was a bad game

[shy helm]

Also avoid sitting on the edge of a very sharp mountain tip OR driving nearby your ship - you WILL be flung into the stratosphere and you WILL lose all your cargo.

[stoic wing]

annoyed that i cant complete the roadsigns quest

[spice forge]

was great but tiring

[mellow badge]

at least I didnt get bugged with this milestone

[smoky trail]

99% of the gameplay is driving super slowly

[slim ridge]

literally glitched out on one of the goals cuz the waypoints aren't registering

[versed tree]

I love that HG basically made "getting over it" in NMS

[slim ridge]

I dont understand

[smoky trail]

lucky

[torpid oracle]

It's an egg race, but you're carring 12 eggs that bounce around in an open top box, and also the eggs weigh nothing in a 0 gravity envionment- and it's not much of a race because you're in a slow wheelchair

[blazing fossil]

Nothing
You won’t be able to grab it until after you’re done

[slim ridge]

fr bro it takes SO LONG

[noble cobalt]

What was that?!

[spice forge]

yooo why the nsfw bots in here

[frigid tapir]

Shutcho ahh up bot

[eternal field]

Lol

[sullen spoke]

ggs

[runic crescent]

about to start the expedition

[umbral bane]

What was that ping

[kind wing]

Omg bruh

[blazing fossil]

It was just Gunter doing his job, nothing to see

[smoky trail]

I littrally had to go into the files and edit the save to complete that mission its terrible

[plucky lion]

HELLO EVERYONE

[slim ridge]

ok DONT scan any of the creatures UNTIL you have the exocraft scanner

[high hedge]

@unkempt kraken love you

[slim ridge]

what 💀

[rich moat]

spambot I believe

[umbral bane]

Oh

[torpid oracle]

Goodluck- don't scan anything until you get the scope for your colossus- and go to all 5 checkpoints before transporting and depositing special waste

[rich moat]

oh nvm

[slim ridge]

you can do that!!??

PLEASE tell me how bro

[smoky trail]

yeah the waypoints were bugged and not counting on the mission counter

[versed tree]

Although late expedition upgrades can speed the exocraft up to almost 100 km/h, you'll find yourself rarely using its full speed to avoid the cargo in the back to fall off

[slim ridge]

yuh same thing happening to me

[unkempt kraken]

[smoky trail]

ask cwmonkey its pc only though

[slim ridge]

Im on pc

[stoic wing]

lucky

[slim ridge]

HOW

[slim ridge]

uhh, who's that again?

[versed tree]

In my opinion this expedition is genuinely fun, its just that the main playerbase of NMS is so used to easy tasks like flying around and just doing menial things that an actual challenge gave them a throughout snap back to reality

[proper patio]

There's actually a failsafe that autocompletes the exo scanner mission if u scanned all the creatures before you get the scanner

[slim ridge]

nah bro there's no real challenge

its just so tedious

[topaz brook]

i'm fuckin' with the truckin'

[noble cobalt]

Okay im fucked

[mellow badge]

started out with multiplayer turned off, looked for Abandoned Buildings n such

[smoky trail]

@slim ridge

here

[mellow badge]

yea, only counts if you scan using the Cyclops thingy

[stoic wing]

thanks

[versed tree]

That means its a challenge, having a hard time with it is part of the gig

[solemn bane]

If you are unable to make progress on waypoints, try disabling multiplayer and making sure the milestone is selected.

If that still doesn't work, and you are on PC (or similar) you can do this:

Close the game.

In your nms cache dir there is a SEASON_DATA_CACHE.JSON. If you need to know where your cache dir is, it'll depend on what you use to play nms. For steam it will be something like %APPDATA%\HelloGames\NMS\{steam id}\cache

Open that in any text editor and find "^DISC_WAYPOINT" after that you will see "Amount":6, - change that to "Amount":0,

Turn on offline mode, or block NMS.exe from accessing the internet somehow, open the game, load your save and it should autocomplete.

You can now go back online, just make sure you save after completing.

[slim ridge]

ah thank you

W

[blazing fossil]

I think it would be fun, if they didn’t choose the most mountainous part of the damn planet

[torpid oracle]

For what it's worth- mine worked fine without using the exocraft scanner

[smoky trail]

yeah kinda sucks this has to be done but oh well

maybe if no mans sky wasnt so buggy

[slim ridge]

I think thats what supposed to make it difficult but it ends up just being a headache

[stoic wing]

thanks

[blazing fossil]

Pretty sure you only need to save one or two for when you have the colossus scanner

[mellow badge]

good lord

[versed tree]

That would mean you'd just hold W while looking at the objective waypoint, having to tackle challenging terrain is on purpose i believe

[smoky trail]

this expediton reminds me of desert bus

[blazing fossil]

Then at least make the driving time shorter

8 minutes uphill, while having to keep track of, bumps, pits and the cargo is just painful

[solemn bane]

So your milestone doesn't complete after you've scanned all the lifeforms? Looks like you're on PC, so I can give you instructions on how to make the milestone autocomplete

[versed tree]

This whole expedition is basically Snowrunner in NMS, its a game of patience, the more you pack in the back the higher the reward but at the same time it poses an equally higher risk

[blazing fossil]

Game has bugs on update day

[slim ridge]

exactly why is the distance SO LONG

Even with the mountainous terrain there are parts that are decently flat and there I literally just hold W while scrolling on my phone

[versed tree]

But again, if anyone wants to save tons of time refer to the following

[smoky trail]

they are giving you the desert bus expirence in no mans sky

[slim ridge]

oh yo thanks

[topaz brook]

countertip: you will need to collect 16 of each special waste type anyway.

[torpid oracle]

^

[topaz brook]

that will amount to at least four checkpoints worth of cargo

[mellow badge]

dont forget that the cave cobalt is 2 different minerals (floor and ceiling)

[cobalt bear]

counter-countertip:

doing those four checkpoints worth of cargo will be much faster when you have all the engine upgrades first

[topaz brook]

and that one of them is a tree for some reason

[blazing fossil]

You’d still need 48 wastes to get the phase 5 milestones

[torpid oracle]

Will it though? The engine upgrades only help when you don't have cargo and are actively detrimental when you do have cargo

[mellow badge]

yea, that one confused me, no one told me there was gonna be Rock Tree's

[blazing fossil]

So that’s just telling people they can skip one thing by making another thing take longer

[patent oar]

Alright, time to do the expedition again for another save

[cobalt bear]

You'll be struggling to go up hill with cargo. It'll help.

(though not as much as you'd hope, it'll help.)

[blazing fossil]

WHYYYY???

[signal igloo]

that's the spirit

[patent oar]

I want those S class colossus upgrades for my abandoned mode save

[versed tree]

What i did is drive through two scrap heaps WITH 15 cargo in the back and make it to the processing plant with no losses

[mellow badge]

bah, wish I could zoom out in the exocraft third person camera

[proper flume]

Good lord I just tried the driving and the flatbed.

That is...Jesus I dislike it lol.

[granite spindle]

It wouldn't be so bad if the planet was a little flatter... or if we had roads... I do kinda llike the truck tho.

[smoky trail]

ok i did the checkpoint missions and damn its so much faster lol

[versed tree]

It pays to take risks in this expedition, pack heavy and if you make it back you reap the spoils

[topaz brook]

the planet does have roads

[latent swallow]

Is the waypoints one bugged for anyone else?

[smoky trail]

yes death stranding styled roads would be awsome

[torpid oracle]

FML

[proper flume]

I don't hate the truck. I hate the terrain and flatbed.

[tranquil basalt]

the world they chose was terrible

[topaz brook]

flatbed would be more fun if it had double gravity

[tranquil basalt]

yea

[fleet field]

I’m having some trouble with phase three road signs on console any pointers? 🥲

So anyone know how long this expedition runs til? I’m too lazy to boot up the game

[formal lagoon]

yes XD

[tranquil basalt]

have you triggered the save /navi points there

[smoky trail]

i feel like they might be a reward for bringing scrap

[clever rain]

I see it looks like one isn't spawning for me then I got the second in this pic

its kinda weird how it counts Idk how it does either

that and the mechanical legs right?

[tranquil basalt]

It might be bugged

[smoky trail]

idk

[slim ridge]

alr lol, it might be a mix of expeditions, turning in scrap and probably more will be unlocked later

oh you doin the road signs one?

Yes…and I’m losing my mind over it

[slim ridge]

wait are you on pc?

cuz it is bugged

but if you're on pc you can just go in the files and change it rq

if its bugged for you then you can save edit on pc

is it just me or does driving the truck feel like im back in satisfactory truck?

yeah i aint doing this expedition

ETS2 plus roadrunner crossover

i aint going waste my time with going from point A to B while carefully driving under 20km'

[native veldt]

I used up all the special resources for the imediate scrap heap and it’s not spawning special resources how do I get them to spawn again

[naive crypt]

Holy fucking shit, I spent like 20 minutes painstakingly taking 5 special wastes to this place and for some reason it only collected 4 when I pushed the deposit button, the last barrel just chilling in the flatbed. And it autosaves when you do that so now I have to do it again because you need to submit the 5 at the same time

[torpid oracle]

Okay, it took me 3.5 hours to do this expedition- really short compared to other expeditions- but it sucked

[mellow badge]

was looking at chat while driving towards deposit and the Mileage Milestone reward thingy jumpscared me

[naive crypt]

The special wastes seem quite durable but goddamn do the small ones just clip put of the truck

[patent oar]

Honestly it might be better if you just manually yeet the salvage into the appropriate disposal facilities.

[lost tree]

so, I got into the expedition, I have no ship. how do they expect me to go to space station cartographers??

[cobalt bear]

Speaking of poorly thought out design...

[mellow badge]

they dont

[cobalt bear]

If you use the button on the back of the truck to tilt the bed up

[naive crypt]

Nah m8 for this particular milestone you HAVE to submit all 5 at the same time

[cobalt bear]

Some cargo will actually take damage

[naive crypt]

What purpose does that serve?

[patent oar]

...really?

[cobalt bear]

it's scratch damage, but why should using the game-intended feature punish the player at all, even a little?

[patent oar]

Which one

[cobalt bear]

Imagine having an explosive barrel beaten to hell after a long journey back

[naive crypt]

Phase 1 Last Milestone

[cobalt bear]

the tool-tip says, "alright, now use the button on the back and manually sort it"

you do what the game tells you

and it sets off an explosion in your face.

oh. then where do I find the waypoint beacons, it's pretty vague and I havent played NMS in a min xd

[cobalt bear]

Probably not very likely, but the fact such a stupid situation is even plausible is just. so dumb.

[smoky trail]

not something i was expecting to find in a cave lol

you get radar scanner for your Colossus, you can scan for buildings and such, most usually have a beacon near them

make sure to disable multiplayer or the milestone will bug

ah so THAT'S why the waypoints weren't registering

why is it always multiplayer bugs. lmao

waypoints dont register while multiplayer is on because other players found them first

also

"why would you do that?"

[smoky trail]

theres a small rock

[cobalt bear]

because the game asks you to

there is a giant tree made of rock

[topaz brook]

did you get the cave ceiling

[cobalt bear]

and if the game asks you to do it it shouldn't ding your cargo for daring to follow explicit instructions lmao

[solemn bane]

If you are missing a mineral, it's probably the one on mountaintops. There's a second, much smaller rock:

Yes, but a lot of them won't give progress for some reason

[topaz brook]

i like the expedition

[solemn bane]

Did you save it and name the layout?

[topaz brook]

everyone else just doesn't like trucking games

[proper olive]

yes/ not the layout though

[clever rain]

I like it too it's fun
I'm a Amazon Prime next day delivery driver

[proper olive]

there we go

finally

thanks

[proper flume]

I don't mind the exocraft. i hate the small truck bed and its physics. LOL.

[patent oar]

Its quite fun

[topaz brook]

gamers can't handle a Strand-type game

[patent oar]

Something different from normal nms gameplay

[topaz brook]

do the different wheel configurations actually function differently? i swear i'm getting stuck on dihydrogen a lot after switching to the spiderlegs

[lost tree]

I like the trucking in the exp, All was cool till I got to the roadsigns mission where all the waypoints broke, and now whats left are structures that are hours away

[hexed seal]

As a junker, I love this update. I just wish the flatbed barriers were a little bit higher- and that we could reorient scrap with the grav gun

[clever rain]

I wonder if all the improvements they did to make this work on switch will eventually put settlements on switch

[patent oar]

Yeah, other people reported that spider legs get stuck on them

[clever rain]

Spider legs are a nerf

Just look cool

[topaz brook]

how interesting

i would've expected them to be cosmetic

[hexed seal]

What seems to (sometimes) work, is activating waypoints at salvage yards and scrap heaps

[shut ridge]

They are stable tho

Slower yet more stable

[lost tree]

I did, they didnt register 😭

[topaz brook]

i've had no trouble with the waypoints after deactivating MP and always selecting the milestone before activating one

[hexed seal]

I'll keep that in mind

[tulip root]

I feel like I'm a mixed blessing to this planet

I mean, sure I'm cleaning up industrial waste, but I'm also ploughing through a lot of trees, plants and animals with my bulldozer scoop

[proper flume]

There are no roadsigns for me. Either that or I'm blind.

[grave helm]

Yeah no this update is not it

[shut ridge]

I like it

[fluid vault]

the ones near waste heaps are pretty far towards the edge of the area, easy to miss

[topaz brook]

update rocks

[grave helm]

I'd like if the truck bed was closed

[topaz brook]

colossus really needed something to make it worth anything

[proper flume]

...One of them is literally on the side of a mountain. With no good way up or down.

That is just pure evil design.

[solemn bane]

Still does

[grave helm]

Needing to drive absurdly slowly in mountains just for all the stuff to still fall around is absurdly miserable

I don't mind driving it for 5 or 10 minutes

[red aurora]

Anyone else had an issue with the roadsigns mission where the waypoints just dont count towards the 6 requirement and it just sits at 0?

[fluid vault]

yeah. even after disabling multiplayer it's still not counting for me

i might have to resort to cheating that one bc i don't really care to keep troubleshooting it

[hexed seal]

Yep. I was advised to turn off MP and have the milestone selected BEFORE you activate it

[topaz brook]

make sure the milestone is active

[grave helm]

This isn't anything. Collecting waste only has use on unlocking parts for the truck itself, they don't really bright any other meaningful resource. After we've unlocked all the parts this feature will be worthless and pointless, and kinda the truck too

[rose sparrow]

i'm actually so confused about this 8th mineral

[hexed seal]

Check caves or small rocks on the ground

[safe cosmos]

It’s a super small rock. Or a cave pillar.

[topaz brook]

you could say the same thing about basically every feature in this game

[grave helm]

No

[topaz brook]

fishing

[safe cosmos]

Also, one of the animals is a flying animal found during the day, so remember to look up.

[topaz brook]

derelict freighters

settlements

[remote thunder]

i noticed that if i spend a little more time packing the stuff neatly, it has less chance to be thrown out

[grave helm]

Explain yourself

[solemn bane]

If you are missing a mineral, it's probably the one on mountaintops. There's a second, much smaller rock:

[teal socket]

wow, I pretty much did the equivalent of a ragequit by reloading my save from the cloud.

no matter how careful I was, couldn't finish the first deliver special waste milestone. small little bump, everything dumps out.

[dusky cobalt]

anyone know where to find pyrite?

[safe cosmos]

There are pyrite deposits.

[dusky cobalt]

ah

[clever rain]

This the type of shit Amazon has to do if you're a prime member

[hexed seal]

You know what the worth is? It's fun. It's a casual game with a lot of little things you can do. There's something for just about everyone, and anyone can find fun in just about every aspect of the game. Not everything has to be super optimized and the best, most efficient thing. Just have fun

[clever rain]

Ain't this game give ten years of free updates? Just say thank you lol

[next charm]

so tired of this 8 min drive

[topaz brook]

you trudge through a freighter for nanites and cosmetic unlocks.

[teal socket]

well, after trying 4-5 times on delivering special waste for it to all tumble out, skipping my first expedition

[topaz brook]

just put it back in

[tulip root]

I'm actually quite enjoying the expedition

Driving around in my space truck enjoying the view

[fair thunder]

is there supposed to be an expedition thing at the console? it still says no expiditions

[teal socket]

yes, run after it as it falls down hill

[round panther]

i didnt hear much from expo yet.
concerning preparation and starting from main save... i heard you can t leave planet? so you cant reach anomaly and copy a ship (which are also not allowed to have?) or other stuff? 😮

[lost tree]

when in doubt, remember. your reward will be the sick armor 😭

[topaz brook]

you're in a motorized vehicle

[topaz brook]

yeah, can't bring anything with you into it

[next charm]

Oh nice i havent seen it yet

[fluid vault]

can't leave planet until you finish the expedition, which means you can't retrieve any materials you send over, nor can you switch back to your main save

[lost tree]

won't spoil it for you, but it looks amazing in my opinion

[worldly salmon]

so this update is about being a garbage man for no reason?

[prisma oracle]

I dont like those

[round panther]

oh interesting. good that i normally dont switch forth and back, but damn, what if i wanted to meet a friend thats not on expo.
well 🙂 i got waste to collect

[torpid oracle]

You even get paid like a garbage man- actually, less than a garbage man

[next charm]

just looked it up it looks so coollll

[fair thunder]

expidition terminus says there's no active expidition 😭

[solemn bane]

Lucky

[teal socket]

you can't secure cargo so if you have hills and bumps between you and the waste collection, you're going to spend way more time in what should take a few minutes

[worldly salmon]

why would anyone use these mechanics in a normal game?

[teal socket]

rp

[wide pendant]

which one is that below bigrock?

[torpid oracle]

consider it a mercy

[next charm]

has it always been a thing that u can mine minerals with the truck?

[fair thunder]

but i want that fancy armor

[torpid oracle]

Because they really like driving trucks for pennies

[topaz brook]

same reason they'd do half of the other dead-end mechanics

[round panther]

if you are on console, i heard those are often some days behind in updates T T

[carmine summit]

aw my god it so so frustrating to do the road trips!! the items glitchs out of existence, phases through the ground then fing explodes and destroys all my industrial item on my cargo!

arg

how is everyone doing this??

[fair thunder]

im on pc D:

[torpid oracle]

slowly

[ashen pebble]

Finally did it 🙏

Expedition: Complete

[teal socket]

ps5 had the expedition

[carmine summit]

the terrain so jagged, I am going 3ku/h and it still fails

[worldly salmon]

im trying real hard not to bad talk this but i cant find ANY reason for this update.

[teal socket]

it's just extra

[solemn bane]

Are you in offline mode or blocking nms.exe from the internet in some way?

[fluid vault]

gotta be careful of harvestable plants and gravitino balls, since the exocraft can't destroy those and they'll end up making your ride VERY bumpy

[fair thunder]

nope im currently in the anomoly surrounded by other players

[ornate portal]

so much work to get these 😭

[carmine summit]

yeah I know that, but the terrain itself is very jagged. I spawned in like a mountain region? I dunno. I have to cross like 2 mountains to get to the deposit to the waste thing

I dunno, just complainig at this point lol

[remote thunder]

not counting freighter upgrade module or cargo bulkhead at the end?

[teal socket]

is that the expedition rewards?

[fluid vault]

yeah the jagged terrain is not helpful, but with careful stacking and driving it is very much doable

[carmine summit]

can't really do anything about the items glitching out and phasing through the truck and the ground tho

happened to me a couple of times

[worldly salmon]

sure its doable but is it fun

[topaz brook]

mainly just a trickle-feed into other features of the same nature

[remote thunder]

avoid driving over hazard plants (snappies), grav balls, large carbon crystal/sodium crystals

[fluid vault]

fun is subjective

[topaz brook]

though corvette module collection would be a better example

[fluid vault]

i like it, i'm clearly not the only one either, but there's nothing wrong with not liking it either

[remote thunder]

i'm having fun

[teal socket]

ye, I gave up on this expedition. normally all the expeditions are pretty chill. this was not after tumbling and chasing waste

[worldly salmon]

yeah, you respond with your subjective opinion

[fluid vault]

i like it

[carmine summit]

you know what? I am going to walk.

[proper flume]

Somehow sounds more efficient. Somehow.

[fluid vault]

maybe i'm easy to please but i'm having a pretty good time with space trucker simulator

[mellow badge]

im glad this didnt require 32 individual Sentinels, I just threw one 32 times

[worldly salmon]

what do you enjoy about it?

[proper flume]

...Noted. Bully one of them.

[fluid vault]

i like driving across the planet, i kind of enjoy having to stack things in a way that will make them less likely to fall out, and finding alternative routes to places to avoid areas that are too steep or too jagged

there's a lot of stuff you can do and find in between point A and point B when you're forced to go slow and take in the surroundings

[topaz brook]

"why does nothing work!!" I yell as i engage in the most counterintuitive activities possible

[fluid vault]

honestly my least favorite thing about this is the exocraft camera, but exo camera has been pretty awful for as long as i've been playing this game so i hardly even notice it anymore

[carmine tartan]

anyone having problems with the first heap?

[fair thunder]

I do have it on PC through the xbox game pass though, maybe microsoft hasn't rolled out the update yet? Anyone else using gamepass?

oop thats it

[topaz brook]

the one thing I actually am annoyed about is accidentally dumping my cargo when trying to enter the truck from the rear left

[fluid vault]

i had the opposite problem, trying to dump cargo and ending up just entering the truck, then having to exit and walk around the side to get back to the dump button lmao

[remote thunder]

correct yeah, xbox/gp/gog/mac dont have 6.20 yet

[mellow badge]

bout time

[grave helm]

You're completely missing the point. This isn't about fun, nothing has changed about it. Driving the Colossus through planets has always been fun, it just didn't have much of an UTILITY and it still doesn't have. What changed is that you have customization now and they force you to drive it on a specific way for a time to get parts.

[stoic wing]

so uh i got a problem

[fresh notch]

When will we get this update then? Since the expedition starts tomorrow..

[remote thunder]

!xbox

[unkempt kraken]

[mellow badge]

you needed to scan with the Exocraft Cyclops, not the normal scanner

[remote thunder]

started today actually, but it will be running for 6 weeks

[fair thunder]

i cri

[mellow badge]

the habit of scanning everything right off the bat for the units, is screwing people over on this expedition

[craggy sun]

turn off multiplayer, those in ships can instantly blow up all your cargo

[mellow badge]

doesnt stop npc pirates from attacking you randomly

[wide pendant]

fr, doesn't help that we get scanner upgrades as well for even more money

[covert kernel]

six weeks. so generous. this'll be the first time i've done an expedition when it was current instead of a redux XD

[solemn bane]

Well, at least I'm not the only one having problems with the terrain

[stoic wing]

anyone able to help with this i scanned all the creatures yet the game says no

and i do really want to complete this expediton

[mellow badge]

you on PC? can edit a file to fix

[solemn bane]

If you're unable to complete the "Safari" mission because you've already scanned all the lifeforms on the planet, and if you're on PC, you can do the following:

Close the game.

In your nms cache dir there is a SEASON_DATA_CACHE.JSON. If you need to know where your cache dir is, it'll depend on what you use to play nms. For steam it will be something like %APPDATA%\HelloGames\NMS\{steam id}\cache

Open that in any text editor and find "^SCAN_EXOCRE" after that you will see "Amount":2, - change that to "Amount":0,

Turn on offline mode, or block NMS.exe from accessing the internet somehow, open the game, load your save and it should autocomplete.

You can now go back online, just make sure you save after completing.

[stoic wing]

yep

[stoic wing]

not necessarily safari but thanks

[grave helm]

There are much better ways to get nanites. The most important reason to get inside a derelict freighter is the experience itself. It's fun. With this one I'm not sure, I like driving but I don't like having to do it so cautiously and having to stop all the time to put the trash back bcs shit f* the terrain. Now if they only did the truck bed a closed box...

[grave helm]

Ok how do you have it?

[clever rain]

Wym?

[solemn bane]

Oh, are you just missing one scan?

[topaz brook]

freighters feel like a slog to me, this is at least fresh enough to be fun for me

[grave helm]

The spider legs. You completed the expedition already?

[topaz brook]

spider legs are stage 4

[grave helm]

Driving like crazy is fun to me, driving like this isn't

[grave helm]

So? It's easy to get?

[clever rain]

Phase 4 of it ya
Phase 4 and 5 Is pretty grindy tho just a fyi

[grave helm]

They're the only rewards I know about, I couldn't know about the others

Besides spider legs what's there of good?

[stoic wing]

no if you look at my original message i have completed the field guide one but the game says no

[shut ridge]

Same

[grave helm]

Is it true the stuff fall much less with spider legs?

Hum

[granite spindle]

Upload the discoveries, claim the nanite bonus. That fixes it. Top one, where you get like 1k nanites or w/e not just the animals.

[solemn bane]

I saw the original message, but "the game says no" still leaves me without valuable information. Does your discoveries tab look like this?

[grave helm]

What stops me from putting a lot of trash inside my Corvette and bringing them to the trash station lol?

[stoic wing]

yes

[stoic wing]

ah thanks

[solemn bane]

ok, so it didn't look like that, lol

[craggy sun]

Just finished the expedition, the progress speeds up a lot once you start upgrading the exocraft speed

[mortal folio]

no it doesn't lol

[prisma oracle]

What stage is the armour?

[solemn bane]

Getting stuck on di-hydrogen with the spider legs = lol

[solemn bane]

100% completion

[clever rain]

Spider legs are a joke lol
Hydrogen crystals and the yellow plant stop you

[stoic wing]

still didnt work

[mortal folio]

i made it 80% and gave up, none of this is fun it's all just tedious enraging repetition

[stoic wing]

oh wait no the game jsut took its time

[grave helm]

Now I found the ability to catch Sentinels a no brainer

[stoic wing]

thanks for the help

[mellow badge]

finally found another building with trade terminal, off-loaded all the crap in my inventories

[grave helm]

At first I hoped we'd be able to throw them into the truck and use them as trash, but no, and the damage to throw them on each other is laughable

[craggy sun]

If you use the engine upgrades and put them in the boosted slots it does

[solemn bane]

Yeah I wanted to blow up a Walker with Sentinels. Nope. Such garbage.

[grave helm]

Then stuff starts falling much mire frequently

[mortal folio]

just makes it even easier for random ground textures to send your cargo into orbit

[grave helm]

"look I can hold this Sentinel drone hostage and do nothing with it"

[vagrant dagger]

Attempting the expedition with joycon drift lmfao

[fluid vault]

yeah i have no idea how the heck engine upgrades are supposed to help me when it seems like going faster would only make it harder

[craggy sun]

Also try not to use the sweeping scan (R3) too much, I found it dropped my frames and made the cargo lag out my bed

[mellow badge]

yea, I would of loved to be able to blow up Sentinels with Sentinels

[solemn bane]

Yeah, the Magnet gun could have been the real hero of this patch. SO much potential. Instead we got dumpy Colossus trash car.

[grave helm]

What didn't help me were the suspension upgrades. I actually only tried the grip one and it made the truck slower and weaker, it can't go up mountains without boost

[fluid vault]

yeah one look at the suspension upgrades and i went "nahhh"

[spiral osprey]

i can't find the first checkpoint, do you just drive away from spawn and scan over and over again?

[mellow badge]

you use the exocraft radar to scan for waste heaps, while the milestone is selected

[grave helm]

I'm not sure about the others tho

[grave helm]

You use the mini menu to scan btw

[mortal folio]

i followed the advice to complete all of the special waste runs in one go and ended up regretting it, you need to gather 15 of EACH type of special waste anyway, no way to speed that up

[spiral osprey]

i am stupid, i thought it ment the waste processing plant. then i saw the other option lol

[wide pendant]

is there just the one processing plant within range of the checkpoints?

[proper flume]

Hostile pirates should not be a thing tbh LOL.

"Hostile attack vector"
Guess I'll die.

[prisma oracle]

Aight

[tranquil basalt]

It legit made everything fling out

I barely scraped by on completion

[mellow badge]

save, quit, reload, hostile despawns

[tranquil basalt]

I had fighters in air killing things

[proper flume]

Knew that, just shouldn't be a thing because they struck as I was dropping stuff off.

[solemn bane]

This whole expedition shouldn't be a thing.

[mortal folio]

true, this content being in the game actually makes it worse

[proper flume]

I don't exactly say it doesn't have a place, I'm just here for the stuff. I'm just finding flaws, but hey. I like NMS. I want that outfit.

Do all the steps, as fast as this slow machine allows me.

[lavish stream]

how's the new expedition so far? Haven't had time to go on yet

[mortal folio]

DEAR GOD DON'T START IT

[solemn bane]

death

[carmine summit]

I am on road trip 1, but the insudtrial heap that I was led to does not have any special industrial waste (I failed to carry over some). What do I do??

[proper flume]

Save your sanity. Mine is already dying.

[spiral osprey]

agreed

[lavish stream]

???? Why don’t start?

[ionic lake]

hi is anyone else having trouble with the roadsigns milestone...none of the waypoints ive found have counted

[proper flume]

...Reboot and reload. Just do not reboot while having materials or they poof.

I turned multiplayer off.

[mortal folio]

literally the worst expedition ever added to the game, coming from someone who has played them all

[formal lagoon]

this is my first expedition

[lavish stream]

But how is it bad?

[proper flume]

Do you like truck simulators? Do you like a planet where its ALL mountains and HILLS to do said simulator?

If not, then spare yourself the sanity loss.

If you can tolerate it, do it, never look back.

[pulsar panther]

Location is too far away and I don't know where my broke ship is what should I do?

[proper flume]

Oh no. There is no ship. You get a truck. Have fun.

[lavish stream]

Good god

[pulsar panther]

No I spawned next to a ship

[digital kraken]

Has anyone's starter ship for the expedition not spawned because mine hasn't and I can't continue the expedition without the ship

[formal lagoon]

are all the expeditions like this

[solemn bane]

This is QWOP in space

[proper flume]

But wait. Theres more. The bed if you even go down a hill wrong can toss all the items out the back if placed wrong lol.

[wide pendant]

a way to strap cargo down would've bean real nice for this

[proper flume]

This is the future. Why does my storage not have full coverage side to side, top to bottom?

I got jump jets for a corvette LOL. Yet thats not a thing?

[clever rain]

It looks like explosive barrels have bad spawn rng
Only getting toxic and radiation

I still need like 5 more

[solemn bane]

Or..................... magnets? Since I used a fucking magnet to get the trash in the truck bed?

[proper flume]

I mean, that too.

[solemn bane]

I am going to angrily eat a bowl of soup.

[clever rain]

Everyone is really pressed over this dlc lol

[lavish stream]

What kinda soup

[pulsar panther]

I am pissed at myself for not fixing the ship I found

[proper flume]

Soup?

[somber marlin]

Hey guys, could someone help me with what to bring to the new expedition? First timer here

Guide me, oh wise ones

[mellow badge]

I shall angrily drink more coffee

[spiral osprey]

omg, i just put the special trash in the wrong thing and now i have to do that all over again 😭

[proper flume]

...Really nothing is gonna help you.

[somber marlin]

I saw on reddit most people came with nothing but i just didnt want to be unprepared

[proper flume]

You need to visit the anomaly to begin with to get said items. I have not seen my ship in hours.

[somber marlin]

Wdym go to the anomaly? Like, once youre in, you have to manually head back and gran them from there?

Bet that answers my question naked it is

[spiral osprey]

if only they added a trash ship upgrade for haulers

[proper flume]

Yes. As in you put them into the terminal. You grab them from the terminal.

Again, haven't seen my ship in hours.

[granite ore]

is anyone else having an issue with the Roadsigns milestone? stuck at 5 out of 6

[solemn bane]

Turn off multiplayer and make sure the milestone is selected before finding a new waypoint.

[tribal cypress]

You can also just copy the save file

nah never works for me

[astral dome]

These 20 minute drives are getting annoying.

[signal igloo]

that would be cool ultimate save scums

[unkempt sphinx]

did i just get unlucky or am i missing something? my first waypoint is 2 hours away by driving but everyone elses seems to be like 15-20 mins

[tribal cypress]

Especially when a small looking hole is fucking massive

It's all the same

then how do you finish the exp and go back to your main save?

the special waste goes into the toxic vat thing?

don't want to get it wrong

I've grabbed 3 waypoints.

Why aren't they counting even when I'm offline?

Wow, I really messed that up. Must have been all my fury at this expedition, lol.

[proper flume]

I'm a little dumb. I have no idea how to even DO that.

I'm right now just spending supposedly 10 minutes now 20 trying to get to a monolith.

[tranquil basalt]

yes. and it seems to happen outside of it as well. at least in anomaly

[solemn bane]

As in you don't know how to close your game and open a file in a text editor like notepad?

[tranquil basalt]

random stuttering that wasn’t happening before the update

[proper flume]

The notepad. Never edited anything.

Or rather had to mess with any values in said notepad.

[wheat pawn]

Can other players steal the cargo from your truck?

[solemn bane]

It's just a block of text. No more difficult than fixing a typo in Discord

[solemn bane]

Supposedly no.

[wheat pawn]

Oh good, thank you

[solemn bane]

Turn multiplayer off and definitely no.

[sullen meteor]

how do you finish the expedition and go back to your main save?

[proper flume]

I am a little bit dumb on that even still. I complicate a lot of things.

[solemn bane]

You can go to your main save at any time in the pause menu (Return to primary save I think it says)

[silent orbit]

my stuff keeps falling off after i get to any sort of bumpy terrain. any tips?

[sullen meteor]

yeah but usually you go through a thing that converts all your expedition resources into credits and nanites

[wheat pawn]

Thank you! I’m loving the new expedition

Always loved nms

[solemn bane]

Aight well, I'm not super into that much hand-holding, but if you ask chatgpt how to do what I said, it should be able to guide you through.

I am incredibly jealous of anyone who likes this expedition, or even doesn't hate it, lol.

[proper flume]

Well. This waypoint COUNTED for some reason now?

[unkempt lance]

A few questions
How quickly can the expedition be completed solo? should I bring any supplies with me? and do we get anything cool for completing the expedition?

[proper flume]

I am grumbling like an old man waving his fist at the sky lol.

[solemn bane]

Yep, I hear it's pretty random for some folks, if it works at all.

[solemn bane]

Supplies will not help you.

[wheat pawn]

@solemn bane just seen this in the settings too

[remote thunder]

How quickly can the expedition be completed solo?
as usual a few hours

[vagrant dagger]

Is there any way to speed things up or are we just looking at a lotttt of very careful long-haul trucking?

[mellow badge]

very careful hauling

[solemn bane]

You went too deep. Up one level

[vagrant dagger]

Awesomeee😎😅

[wheat pawn]

Im not taking any chances😅 also I found there’s no glitching with multiplayer off

[solemn bane]

Oh, derp, I mixed you up with the return to primary save question, lol.

So pissed off at this expedition I can't tell people apart.

[wheat pawn]

😅😅

It’s fine

[spice forge]

i loved it but it was very very tedious

[vagrant dagger]

Are there any other waste processing plants or just the one?

[solemn bane]

You can scan for more eventually I think

[spice forge]

others

[vagrant dagger]

Okay awesome

Cheers!

[wheat pawn]

This may be a dumb question but is the flatbed only available in the expedition or main game too?

[solemn bane]

Pretty sure it's available by default now

[wheat pawn]

Yay! 🥳 I hope so

[remote thunder]

yes, it's available on any mode

had it first on my main save than in exp

[late burrow]

i cant find the last mineral on the planet

[unkempt sphinx]

do you know how to get other colossus parts on main saves?

[solemn bane]

If you are missing a mineral, it's probably the one on mountaintops. There's a second, much smaller rock:

[lusty slate]

I CAN PLAY EXPEDS AGAIN. Ahem, sorry, haven't started yet. Just needed to vent that.

[solemn bane]

An unfortunate time for that ability to return.

[remote thunder]

Phase 2 - Milestones & Rewards »

• Camouflage Finish Customization
  Phase 3 - Milestones & Rewards »
• Asymmetrical Cabin Customization
  Phase 4 - Milestones & Rewards »
• Mechanical Legs Customization

all of these rewards are unlocked account wide, and you'll just claim them from anomaly quicksilver shop in your other saves

[lusty slate]

Aha, lemme guess. Expedition is a hot mess?

[solemn bane]

It has forced me to recalibrate what I call "good" and "bad"

[unkempt sphinx]

what about the furnace/other running gears?

[lusty slate]

So what's making it the worst expedition?

[solemn bane]

Before today I probably could have named the worst expeditions by memory alone. Now I cannot think of a single bad expedition before this one.

[late burrow]

most likely..

[hexed seal]

How do we get the other Colossus cosmetics that aren't part of the Expediton?

Widescreen Cabin, neither the flatbed or furnace modules are available after the expedition, there's 4 missing running gear, and the Weathered Finish is missing for the paint job

[dusky fiber]

Probably the amount of time travelling. But I quite like it. Reminding how vast planets are.

[proper flume]

Oh theres some cave ones I used to get to 8.

[solemn bane]

Tedious and frustrating, with the only cool new thing not being developed at all.

[unkempt sphinx]

i did a no startership challenge one an abandoned pd slot recently, and it made me really like spending time on individual planets. honestly my only complaint with this expedition is just that my first waypoint was 2 hours away lol

[woeful osprey]

im struggling on petrology

[remote thunder]

those are unlocks by gaming, check official website

[unkempt sphinx]

i see,,,,

[hexed seal]

Thank youuu

[proper flume]

Time traveled, what feels like a sadistic choice of a planet, and the back container you use kinda is...

Ahem.

[dusky fiber]

😭 ah hell na. Mine was 5mins away.

[unkempt sphinx]

im down to 24 minutes !

[proper flume]

Lemme point how our corvettes got jump jets. Now why do we have an open back that lets things flimsily escape your container.

We should at least have a better storage option if its THIS planet lmao.

[grave helm]

Are the spider legs slow?

[stoic wing]

@solemn bane do you know if you can do the same thing as you can with road signs milestone with the toxicity and volatile payload milestones?

[hexed seal]

No. And they take hills crazy well

[dusky fiber]

Ngl im just finishing up stage 2 and got most of the others done already.

[proper flume]

Where do we even get spider legs?

[solemn bane]

CARGO_TOX
CARGO_RAD
CARGO_EXP

[unkempt sphinx]

exped reward

[stoic wing]

ah thank god its taking ages i am only finding like 1 or 2

[proper flume]

OH THANK GOD.

[late burrow]

how do i "forcefully reorient" sentinels

[untold rain]

I'm in the roadsigns mission and accidentally used a bunch of waypoints before turning off multiplayer to fix the bug with it, is there anything I can really do about it except travel really far to find more

[late burrow]

i did it 2 times

is it with the grav gun?

[unkempt sphinx]

yes

[late burrow]

oki :3

[solemn bane]

If you wanted to do it legit, you should be using your Colossus's radar to find Waste Heaps

[late burrow]

am i allowed to post gifs?

[stoic wing]

i was

and it kept giving me the same one

annoyingly

[unkempt hemlock]

So I'm doing the expedition, end of first phase, I need to get 5 special stuff right? The stupid gas can looking thing keeps sliding right off the Colossus flatbed for no reason, nothing else is falling off mind you, only that specific thing

I've been at this for half an hour

Im gonna need a nice long sentinel genocide after this

[solemn bane]

Enjoy your next few hours at this crap.

[grave helm]

Are they at least more stable with cargo?

[dusky fiber]

I wont spooder legs plz

[late burrow]

i think i permemantly unoriented a sentiel

[unkempt hemlock]

..you what now

[dusky fiber]

Id like to take a moment and thank Sean for another free update. We love you Sean.

[late burrow]

yes

[unkempt hemlock]

Sean is based but that won't stop me from finding a way to waterboard a sentinel

[late burrow]

are u shoving them into the ocean!?

[unkempt hemlock]

...maybe

I may also have destroyed let me see here..

Like roughly 700 sentinels if not more

I'm pretty sure I'm max tier in destroying them in the Vy'keen milestones area

[late burrow]

question, do items get damaged in the back of the truck

[unkempt hemlock]

I'm pretty sure

[signal igloo]

Okay real question how many took advantage of having the good personal refiner and doubled or more the refinements

[remote thunder]

they can yes, if they bump too hard

[unkempt hemlock]

It's pretty useful to have

[mellow badge]

cant find waste heaps because the [censored] radar keeps pointing to the same damn one (the final RDV one)

[signal igloo]

Change log focus?

[native veldt]

How long is the expidition run for

[mellow badge]

didnt work, im on the other side of the damn planet

[solemn bane]

Get in your ship and fly far away. Ha ha I kid I kid.

[late burrow]

there is a way they can make the cargo stuff a lot more interesting

[signal igloo]

Two

[native veldt]

Weeks

?

[signal igloo]

Months

[late burrow]

corvette cargo delivering with those large cargo containers with magnetic connectors on corvettes

[signal igloo]

We can run n run n run it

[native veldt]

Plenty of time then

[solemn bane]

Sure, but the real challenge would be trying to make it less interesting.

[late burrow]

i mean seperate from the salovage

salvage*

[signal igloo]

Oh shucks weird different dang them

[late burrow]

larger salvage that the grav gun cant grab

[signal igloo]

There is !ex someplace n

I buying food on phone it’s a bizh to do r n

[mellow badge]

went to a different planet and the damn radar still pointed to the empty waste heap on exp planet

[signal igloo]

lol Dang. Did you set the log focus

[mellow badge]

yes

[signal igloo]

Ok

[meager warren]

any specific materials I should take into the expedition?

[signal igloo]

Sometimes simple things evade

[solemn bane]

Can't take anything.

[signal igloo]

Lurxt no good

[mellow badge]

I switched to other missions and clicked the other 2 milestones, nothing

[meager warren]

oh right, it's all on one planet

nvm lol

[signal igloo]

You can but you’ll be near done before you see it

[clever rain]

I finally beat the exp just gotta do one last supply run for phase 5

Took all day from all the driving

[solemn bane]

Try relogging and/or driving far away

I honestly don't know if it's sending me to the same place and the stuff is respawning or not. This is the most samey bullshit I have ever done, lol.

[white perch]

Lay Waste milestone makes me know the devs dont know the capabilities of their own land rover

it naturally destroys obstacles, lol

[late burrow]

can more than just the 5 mission waste dumps generate?

[white perch]

???

[solemn bane]

Probably hundreds on the planet

[white perch]

I was able to put more special waste in my truck

[fast terrace]

Is expedition out on xbox yet?

[unkempt kraken]

6.20 (latest) — 6.18 (Xbox)

-# Check #nms-news-ticker or run !NmsVersions for platform updates. Try #nms-questions for guidance. For issues or feedback:

[frosty snow]

Yeah this is getting annoying. Roadsigns milestone is bugged or something I’m stuck at 4/6 and can’t complete it

[solemn bane]

Make sure the milestone is selected, multiplayer is turned off, and just keep trying new places

[frosty snow]

Already turned off multiplayer and had the milestone highlighted

[remote thunder]

save. return to main menu. load save. try again

[frosty snow]

Gonna take a break so I don’t get upset over this lol

[remote thunder]

good call 🫂

[vernal parcel]

I think i screwed myself by scanning the animals before unlocking the vehicle scanner.
also since I'm on controller, I think(?), using the vehicle scanner forces the exocraft to reverse.

[fringe star]

Yeah, having to drive for 10 minutes to reach a monolith is not my idea of fun. Not the most interesting expedition.

[unkempt sphinx]

i will say it is really cool going from the empty dunes to the active industrial activity once i finally got to the rendevouz in multiplayer

[solemn bane]

At least there is a beautiful planet to look at.

[remote thunder]

I think i screwed myself by scanning the animals before unlocking the vehicle scanner.
please raise a bug report when you get a bit of spare time

also since I'm on controller, I think(?), using the vehicle scanner forces the exocraft to reverse.
yeah, this has been experienced by other players too

[fringe star]

There is all the dodging of holes to keep you alert

[vernal parcel]

This planet is a nightmare to navigate

[late burrow]

might be getting a little greedy

[remote thunder]

this is kinda why i like to run expeditions from a new save

[remote thunder]

i was able to haul that many actually, no problems, take it easy

[late burrow]

ok

[remote thunder]

try to pack them neatly

[vernal parcel]

it's the little pieces that are most troublesome

[unkempt sphinx]

yeah i realized like an hour in i could just make a new save but decided to do the 2 hour drive for fun

[remote thunder]

as many as you can on the actual flatbed

[quartz path]

Did anyone else experiance a bug where their ship did not spawn when starting the expidition?

[vernal parcel]

the small explosive canisters just clip out of the dang truck, i swear

[unkempt sphinx]

also cargo saves on restore points right

[vernal parcel]

Not a bug, you don't get a ship this time

[remote thunder]

the ship spawns, it's just not marked at all, we're not meant to use it

[vernal parcel]

It says so in the text when starting the expedition

[remote thunder]

can you see it?

look at the top, the compass: no ship icon, where it would be

[late burrow]

these tiny caves are going to be the death of me

the ones so small u cant see until its too late BUT JUST BIG ENOUGH FOR A TRUCK

[quartz path]

Ah, then I was misunderstanding when I saw the notifications say people left the planet. Thank you. Then the search for Ionised cobalt continues

[tribal badger]

How's the expedition? Fun?

[white perch]

meh

[vernal parcel]

Slow

[solemn bane]

No, the other thing.

[white perch]

I coulda done without

[tribal badger]

Oof. Not exactly gleaming reviews. Thanks friends.

[remote thunder]

i'm having fun yes, but i dont mind taking the time - i love euro truck simulator 2

[white perch]

I feel like its more of trash man simulator

[remote thunder]

i guess that's one way to look at it

[solemn bane]

literal euro trash, lol

[remote thunder]

learn how to recycle

save the planet

[white perch]

I think the devs are angry at VDay

like who hurt them?

[round crane]

what do i do if i have already scanned most of the fauna in a planet and i cant scan them with the cyclops? do i have to travel to another planet?

[late burrow]

why the hell do some of these plants hit the truck like a whole rock

[unkempt sphinx]

just watched someone jump into the incinerator this is why multiplayer is crucial

[white perch]

lol

[solemn bane]

Can't blame them tbh

[raven cave]

This current expedition I cant find my ship and I dont have the option to craft a refiner yet?

[unkempt sphinx]

no yeah i did it earlier too. i said it in chat

[round crane]

is there a way to get a space ship in the expedition?

[remote thunder]

some players have hit this wall too; i'd suggest raising a bug report to raise awareness for the devs

[white perch]

they are teasing me with mine

[remote thunder]

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[solemn bane]

nope

[remote thunder]

only after completing iirc phase 5's roadtrip 5 or checkpoint 5

[white perch]

they want me to discover 8 minerals and my planet has only 6

[remote thunder]

no, it has more than 6

[round crane]

then in that case i just keep playing and then fly outworld to another planet?

[remote thunder]

others have made that assumption too

[white perch]

ooooooh

[remote thunder]

try to, yes

[white perch]

so for minerals they do not have the full list?

[round crane]

but definetly will do a report, good to know im not the only one

[white perch]

I thought my fauna was bugged, but i uploaded everything and then it cleared.

[remote thunder]

exploration guide often fails at that

[cinder fog]

Hello, for some reason I can't see the new expedition? Is it out yet?

[solemn bane]

You may be missing the rocks on the gray dirt area. There are small rocks, and smaller rocks, like this

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/979100431315796018/1471237176296603752/275850_20260211121059_1.png?ex=698e33e5&is=698ce265&hm=f8d2860970d29e20a788f6feeddf29b40f2284cbf146881b8a57e193c90c906e

[remote thunder]

not if you're on xbox/gp/gog/mac

[cinder fog]

Aw damn, will it come out on Xbox at all?

[solemn bane]

Unfortunately yes

[raven cave]

Dont see option to build base computer either in expedition, am I missing something?

[cinder fog]

Unfortunately? Is it a bad expedition/update?

[solemn bane]

Unfathomably
