nms-expedition

[remote lava]

It didn't even show that. 🤷

[karmic plover]

Thanks guys

Now to just find this last goddamn rock

[craggy raft]

Look up at the sky to make it easier and spam both buttons really quickly and you should get it in seconds

[solemn bane]

Probably banner blindness, or the milestone wasn't selected

[remote lava]

It bugged out on it but a quick look showed how to craft it. Not surprised it did that really.

[solemn bane]

You can also cycle through quest tips, on PC it's the H key

[remote lava]

Just said to craft the bay thing and had the refiner flashing. Figured it should have been in the log or the task somewhere but never was.

[sleek cypress]

Check underground and those massive off colored ditches. That's where I found the last one hiding

[karmic plover]

Thanks just did that

[karmic plover]

I think im just missing a pebble

I did all of the underground ones

Must be that

[sleek cypress]

Yea that's what I was missing till I found it in those random mile long ditches

[karmic plover]

Ahh

[maiden charm]

do we ever get our transferred equipment

[copper trail]

final road trip time, only objective left other than toxic waste, but I have enough in this haul to do that too

[runic flower]

expedition done, clap

[craggy raft]

also it seems the gravi-coil only has a model in 1st person

[outer coral]

Anyone know where to find the Common/Flying/Diurnal Fauna?

[craggy raft]

well it will be flying..and it's in the sky all day round..and it should be fairly common to find

so..In the sky probably

[woeful osprey]

did the expedition alone lol

[outer coral]

You would think...

[solemn bane]

nope

[craggy raft]

look for red blinking dots with the scanner

[outer coral]

Yeas, I know how to find unscanned things. There's literalliy no animals flying around. No red dots. Skys are empty. I've been playing for hours

Was wondering more if anyone else had issues finishing that part of the expedition

[stoic forge]

I missed the tentacle things

[woeful osprey]

kinda.
thought i scanned the stalactite in the underground caves

[outer coral]

OMG! They literally just appeared after I finished the other missions

[woeful osprey]

hm?

[outer coral]

well eff me. The counter reset and it says 0/6...

[woeful osprey]

oop

[solemn bane]

Go into the discoveries tab and upload them

[pearl jewel]

Anyone else stuck on waypoints? The waypoints I've found are not counting

[woeful osprey]

gotta go to new regions

[plucky juniper]

Is this the official dc for like game updates?

[pearl jewel]

I'll try

[outer coral]

@solemn baneTHANK YOU. I'm so freakin tired.

[solemn bane]

4. If you can't make progress on waypoints, try disabling multiplayer, save and relog, make sure the milestone is selected and try again.

[woeful osprey]

i wish you luck...
it's a lot of traveling

[delicate wharf]

God I didnt collect much of any flammable waste
The radar is trying to send me to a trash heap ive already cleaned out

Bleh

[woeful osprey]

they restock

go to themmm

[delicate wharf]

Final tasks want me to collect 16 of em. Ghaaa that one was 14 minutes awaaaaay

[woeful osprey]

i know.. i have to travel 37 minutes once lol

[grave helm]

If I return to my main save I won't lose progress in the expedition right?

[delicate wharf]

Nope

[woeful osprey]

if you have a separate save maybe

[solemn bane]

Right

[pearl jewel]

Update, it didn't work

[woeful osprey]

haus spreading misinformation XD

[woeful osprey]

r u doing multiplayer

[copper trail]

gg

[woeful osprey]

gg

[solemn bane]

It may take multiple tries. It's real random. Just have to keep finding new spots.

[copper trail]

cant wait for either: a new feature/upgrade/something to keep stuff in the truck

or: a mod that does that

[solemn bane]

Also a reason to do it at all.

[copper trail]

I got lucky cause I needed 4 more toxic waste for that objective, and the 5th rendezvous had exactly 4

[light narwhal]

The mining laser burning off your own cargo is super cool.

[blazing fossil]

In the sky…they’re quite common

[woeful osprey]

what else r we gunna use grav gun for...
maybe for derelict freighter stuff?

[outer coral]

@blazing fossilThey would not spawn for me until I completed every other expedition mission.

[blazing fossil]

Weird, but alright

[woeful osprey]

cwmonkey is our hero U_U

[slow nexus]

pls help what do i do for 'Analyse and discover minerals"

im so confused'

[proper flume]

Scanner does scan things.

[outer coral]

@slow nexusI was missing a couple of small rocks that I found along the road/channels

[karmic plover]

Holy shit the spider legs make ts so much easier

😭

[proper flume]

They're a literal blessing and curse in there.

One hand its fast and makes hills easy peasy.

The other hand it can move so fast you bounce cargo. A lot.

[slow nexus]

man ion see shit

[karmic plover]

Wasnt that bad for me

[woeful osprey]

careful, the legs get caught on dihydrogen, carbon, in the yellow crystals, and the plants too

[karmic plover]

The tires bounces my cargo a lot more

😭

[proper flume]

That might not be intended I feel but I did notice this.

[woeful osprey]

the small indestructible things Vehicles can't destroy

[outer coral]

I probably spent at least an hour putting shit back in the truck bed...

[karmic plover]

MY BODY IS A MACHINE THAT TURNS TRUCKS INTO CATAPULTS

[proper flume]

Only an hour?

[placid flame]

dp you have excavation blades attached?

[proper flume]

I spent more time seeing hillsides say screw your cargo, go chase the crate down the mountain.

[woeful osprey]

drive... slower?

[proper flume]

Even when careful.

[woeful osprey]

yes but that was not the reason

[karmic plover]

Doesnt help when theres a bump and your truck turns into the wastethrower3000

😭

The packages physics is so light

[proper flume]

The hill sides have cruel senses of humor when its your safest and shortest route.

[karmic plover]

Genuinely feels like paper

[proper flume]

Oops. Slightly too far to the side. Away your cargo goes.

Benny hills theme here.

[woeful osprey]

i barely even threw the waste lol
i was going around 30-40 on bumps and max on smooth surfaces

[placid flame]

do you have multiplayer on?

[woeful osprey]

no

[placid flame]

hmmmm

[slow nexus]

how do i find minerals that i havnt scanned it feels like ive scanned everything

[woeful osprey]

i already completed the expedition

[placid flame]

weyrd

[cedar galleon]

Tempted to try and participate in the expedition

[woeful osprey]

it's just the spider legs messing up on the Crystal material and resource plants

[woeful osprey]

check the caves on their ceiling

[karmic plover]

Check the pins

[woeful osprey]

it's a lot of back and forth, have fun!

[karmic plover]

You mightve missed small rocks

On the mountains

[woeful osprey]

im going to test what else i can use the grav gun on

[mossy breach]

Damn I'm so close to finishing it

need 4 more radioactive and 5 more explosive and I finished the expedition

[woeful osprey]

you can grab ur own drone XD

[cedar galleon]

How long did it take?

[mossy breach]

the mechanical legs look cool but they aren't that much different from normal tracks I think

I thought it'd be a bit more stable but honestly I think every wheel/track works the same

[placid flame]

aesthetcs

[karmic plover]

Felt like its far more stable for me

My truck doesnt turn into catapults anymore

😭

[placid flame]

the legs are mostly cosmetic

[cedar galleon]

Ngl, I do want the spider legs because it looks more alien xD

[woeful osprey]

mhm

[mossy breach]

Mmmmmmm not sure. about 6 hours with a decent few breaks in between? what took me the longest was fuckin driving to every single spot, took ages

[placid flame]

the flatbed makes it look more like an earth truck just one that blows blue exhast

[karmic plover]

We in the future and we still havent invented tiedowns for trucks 😭

[cedar galleon]

Ooh, I see

[slow nexus]

how do i get the sentinals after me on this planet

[pearl jewel]

I drove faaaaaar and it's still not counting the waypoints

[karmic plover]

Take their balls

Gravitino balls

[slow nexus]

mmm

[solemn bane]

Or magnets. You know, the thing you used to get the junk in the truck.

[mossy breach]

bugged, check pins

[karmic plover]

real

[gloomy raven]

what kind of planet spawns junk?

[mossy oxide]

Earth

[mossy breach]

Mars

[solemn bane]

lol, true

[pearl jewel]

can you link it? I can't see it

[mossy breach]

too eepy

boutta sleep

[pearl jewel]

I'm stupid you see

[mossy oxide]

The satisfactory planet

[placid flame]

the excavation blade is good and everything but the resource laser on the colossus is better

[pearl jewel]

for real though, help

Waypoint no worky

[placid flame]

not all of the save beacons will count, you need to find the ones that say unknown sector

[pearl jewel]

oop

found the pinned thing

thank you @placid flame

[placid flame]

it will take you far from the spawn scrap depo area

just go east then west, and you'll want to travel for 30-45 mins then search ruins and abandoned buildings

or you can wait until a ship lands which also takes ages and just buy a ship but if you trade a damaged ship the npc will come after you later on

[solemn bane]

nope

[placid flame]

hmmm?

what do you mean nope, i had a random npc land next to me while i loaded my colossus

[solemn bane]

"NeverAllowShipPurchases":true

[placid flame]

oh oof i did not know that

[half olive]

We are gonna be like old war vets who get together years later and be like "You remember the expedition of 26?"

We all chuckle at first but then get PTSD as the flashbacks from it haunt us.

[placid flame]

well then 30-45 mins travel

[solemn bane]

lol, I was literally about to say this expedition gave me PTSD

[patent oar]

Its pretty fun honestly

[proper flume]

It did the opposite effect.

Intent: Get us to like the colossus. Make it useful.
Outcome: I hate it but love the meme spider legs.

[placid flame]

the funny thing is i just found a whole new waste disposal depo west due to how far i went lmao

[light narwhal]

Yeah with the jank gone I'd love it. I love my dozerbug but he's janky

[cedar galleon]

First ever expedition I'm tempted to do and it give people ptsd 😭

[proper flume]

You could not pay me to do it again.

[half olive]

The spider legs are hilariously fun.

[placid flame]

there's 2 waste depos reletively close to each other LOL

[craggy raft]

bro lost everything

[tender tusk]

More like Expedition 21 or it could be like Expeddtion 20 Breach when we had to tell people to turn off multiplayer every 5 mins.

also go turn off multiplayer

[half olive]

Express Shipping

[patent oar]

Nah its fine, I did it twice now

[proper flume]

Same day shipping is gonna reach you, whether or not the product is in tact is a whole different matter.

[craggy raft]

How my post office be handling my packages when i need them the most

[placid flame]

pffft i just went around the whole planet

[halcyon rose]

Okay so this alone is making me want to finish the expedition.

[half olive]

Reminds me of that meme where everyone is bouncing inside that van

[proper flume]

It makes it so much easier. It gets rid of the hill problem.

Reject wheels.

Reject treads. EMBRACE SPIDER LEGS.

[placid flame]

embrace the trucker gek life

[proper flume]

Oh we probably have a comfy chair. We just don't have storage that can't not bounce things and have them flee storage despite having hover jets on corvettes.

Or magnets, or rope equivalent to tie things down. Or things that shut when moving and opens when stopped.

[cedar galleon]

The people yearn to be long-haul drivers

[half olive]

We have faster than light travel and intergalactic trade, but no tie down straps.

[placid flame]

^

[half olive]

Such is life in nms

[proper flume]

Just give me a container that shuts when moving and opens when still.

[outer coral]

just a tarp is all I need

[velvet sigil]

Sorry to jut into the convo here but does anyone know if special waste spawns naturally outside of waste heaps

[placid flame]

or a graviy generator?

[patent oar]

Yes

It does

[velvet sigil]

o7

[proper flume]

I mean, barrels are metal here probably. A magnet would work just fine on the bed.

[placid flame]

right?

[half olive]

Have a function where they all become a static entity that's attached to the exocraft rig. You turn on a switch and they freeze in place where they are at in the truck bed.

[proper flume]

I'd think this would get ironed out eventually, but we'll see. It is launch day or just shortly after launch relatively speaking.

[proper flume]

God that would've preserved my voice lmao.

[patent oar]

That would take all the fun away D:

[proper flume]

Crate bounces off. Grumpy old man rambling and swearing inserted here.

[halcyon rose]

I was just thinking that. I mean it's fun to watch those things bounce around but it's a pain in the bum to chase after them.

[half olive]

Even with this function you can leave the switch off and let the product rattle around. 😎

[proper flume]

It gets so much funnier when it happens on a hill side.

A very, very, very much steep one.

GET BACK HERE BARREL.

[patent oar]

Hm maybe it could be a difficulty setting just like how fishing has one

[halcyon rose]

An optional upgrade

[patent oar]

For people playing on custom mode

[halcyon rose]

I love playing on custom mode

[proper flume]

I mean, I do because I love building things and planet hunting with new project ideas. I can't do art, I can do bases lol.

[half olive]

Having to chase that mfker all the way down cause it's the one you need to finish the challenge 😭

[proper flume]

I still want to make a castle on a gas giant at some point.

[craggy raft]

fun fact.
You can in fact enter the incinerator.
Funnier fact, if you are quick enough it will only drain Half your hp

[dense basin]

just gonna say, bases can be art

[proper flume]

...I admittedly fell into a hole, had to dig my way out and lost 2 barrels.

Drove right into a cave, 10-15 minutes of making a flat area to drive out.

It was dark.^

Praise the terrain manipulator.

[light narwhal]

Doooone! I can see my SHIP

[half olive]

Would be cool if we could have these containers as base decorations.

No. I totally wouldn't stack a mountain of toxic waste barrels and build a base on top. >~>

[proper flume]

You have earned your living wage. Car unlocking sound here.

Made us do a whole quota of task like a jester and told us "Fine, you can leave now."

[placid flame]

i hate pirate attacks

[light narwhal]

Gotta get our trucker license before we can haul off-planet

[proper flume]

First time I couldn't run. Reloaded and lost cargo. Angry.
2nd time I was fast enough to escape.

[placid flame]

i've already had one pirate attack blow up all the hazardous containers i was hauling

[proper flume]

By that point I would just ask pirates be turned off.

[half olive]

They shot at me constantly. Hearing "Warning. Threat Detected" a lot in this expedition

[placid flame]

i mean yeah? but hello games isn't likely going to do that until the redux

[proper flume]

I was caught at the waste deposit site at least once.

Lucky I had S class upgrades and fled fast enough they got bored.

[patent oar]

I hope they expand on the cargo hauling idea, with extra valuable cargo thats more dangerous to transport

A reactor that blows up if you take too long to process it. A biological sample that makes bio horrors attack you and your cargo.

[proper flume]

If I get a proper cargo hold for my ship to store things for stuff, I won't argue. Corvette expansions everywhere.

Proper cargo haulers.

[placid flame]

thankfully i found 5 special waste on my way back

[main viper]

I just finished the Remnant expedition. How do you even get into the new content once on my main save? I can’t find any of the tech

[pearl jewel]

I have 9 discovered waypoints, and only 1 out of 6 counted....

I cry

I'm even in offline mode

[half olive]

Have little carts behind the Colossus that you can pull. Make like a little caravan train.

[patent oar]

Oh yeah, maybe with its own downsides too, where scrap would bounce around a lot more in corvettes especially if you fly fast, making it more prone to explode and damage your corvette

[proper flume]

Wishing for many things. However, LNF here has me worried I'll be carrying eggs now.

[craggy raft]

maybe after they let us place things in more directions?
Also I need more VTOL jets.

[proper flume]

...Do we have any I'll just say redacted corvette stuff?

Or parts? Like the salvage set of building equipment?

[knotty pier]

I just used a waypoint and it still says I've done 0/6

[proper flume]

You at one on the main path or side ones?

[knotty pier]

what?

[proper flume]

Are you following the main task list to each one? If so, known, isn't counting.

It has one fix I found.

[knotty pier]

idk it doesnt mark them

oh wait

do I have to use the exocraft scanner

[proper flume]

Every building or drop pod has one. Those tended to count for me.

It was off the beaten path away from every waste site.

[patent oar]

Do you have multiplayer on?

[proper flume]

Aka, if its on the main path it might literally be borked for the time being.

[knotty pier]

yes

[patent oar]

Yeah thats the problem

[half olive]

Yeah. Multiplayer will mess things up

[patent oar]

Without multiplayer, every way point counts just fine

[knotty pier]

alr I just turned it off

[half olive]

Manually save and restart game.

[proper flume]

Weird. A lot of my waste points didn't but all the side stuff I did counted.

Or side buildings I saw on the way.

[patent oar]

Really? I did only the waste points and completed it just fine, twice

[knotty pier]

ok

[proper flume]

Yep. Dedicated myself to going to another waste site, go far enough. Ping building and a pod. Get waypoints that way.

[knotty pier]

still didnt count for the 6

strange

[proper flume]

Was the quest marked?

Or active?

[knotty pier]

yep

[proper flume]

...You're gonna have to do some occasional side journeys then unless you wanna do what a pinned comment says.

[knotty pier]

ok

[half olive]

Don't let it upset you. Many players are having issues with it right now. Hopefully they send out a patch soon.

[proper flume]

Go toward waste site, go far enough away to new zone that it forces a new pod or building, go do both. Make sure its active every time.

[knotty pier]

yeah they probably will

[civic zinc]

I just finished the expedition and after that got my space ship and fly to the waypoints far away in other regions sobthey count.

[knotty pier]

meanwhile ill just do the other quests

[craggy raft]

ssssssssssso I guess we don't know how to get the rest of the Truck parts exactly ? the furnace, the other "wheel" options, the last cabin?

[proper flume]

Probably a grind of doing exactly that content.

Otherwise no idea.

[lavish stream]

are you supposed to manually load the truck with your gravity gun?

[proper flume]

If you somehow manage to do the expedition by pushing barrels off a hill into the back strictly, you have my respect and a concerned stare you're that committed to lunacy.

[vernal parcel]

Can't collect the reward from Field Guide, says inventory is full but it's not

[craggy raft]

that means: Yes, yes you are.

[craggy raft]

field guide..what was that about again?

[proper flume]

I know people who would exactly do this.

Out of SPITE.

[vernal parcel]

Just scan all the animals

[craggy raft]

quite frankly if you told me I couldn't I'd do that

[craggy raft]

oh, and..you have how much space in inventory?

[half olive]

I think that's the one that may give you a crap ton of dino bones

[vernal parcel]

like, 10 slots?

[craggy raft]

-# it is totally the one yea

[vernal parcel]

that's not enougH? jeez

[proper flume]

I mean you could probably nudge barrels. We are technically a solid object.

[half olive]

Had to make a lot of room in my inventory

[craggy raft]

I think they give you somewhere between..like..11 and 15? I didn't bother counting I immediatelly sold all of it when I could

[proper flume]

Delete, delete, delete.

[half olive]

Same

[vernal parcel]

ok I got it

So weird

[proper flume]

I mean the only head I would've kept would've been the gator head.

[vernal parcel]

16 bones

[half olive]

Ah 16.

[proper flume]

Malfunctioning binary noises here.

[half olive]

Now where have I seen that number before?

[placid flame]

if you're gathering gravitino balls grab then dig a hole then wait until the sentinals disengage then repeat

[proper flume]

Or if you have the truck, just drive.

[blazing fossil]

Or just, grab them all and run

[steel wagon]

Any faster way to find the waypoints?? It's taking ages to find one let alone 6

[proper flume]

They some reason can't tell you're in there if far away enough.

[blazing fossil]

I even had time to stand still in the open and check my milestone progress while being hunted by the sentinels

[half olive]

Diggy diggy hole 🎶

[placid flame]

scan after traveling 30-45 mins and check if the save point says unknown sector

[lavish stream]

yeesh 8 minutes to travel

[placid flame]

its the quickest way to RUN!

[blazing fossil]

I grabbed all 32 while being chased by sentinels and had time to stop and check my milestone progress without ever dying

[steel wagon]

30 45 mins 😭 I don't got that much time man

And why can we use ship 😅

[lavish stream]

is there a limit to how much the truck can hold?

[blazing fossil]

Because truck

[placid flame]

you'll need to scan for structures

[blazing fossil]

If you try to load too much shit on it it'll just fall off

[steel wagon]

Ofc... atleast for the waypoints we should have been able to use it

[steel wagon]

Yah I'm doing that

[proper flume]

Short version. Try to do main objective, go at least relatively close to the next waste site or waste dump. On the way there, ping abandoned building and pods. Do both and make sure the task is active, and your multiplayer setting is off.

[steel wagon]

It's just taking so much time + need to go to heaps and back to facility

[proper flume]

Just make sure you're far enough away the game has to ping a new one.

[steel wagon]

Ou I'll try this

[half olive]

Even going slow, it's easy to fling stuff off.

Pain...

[placid flame]

yep then just find unknown sector save beacons

[steel wagon]

It's the bumps that's flinging stuff off

Try to drive on relatively flat/smoother path

[proper flume]

Sneaky terrain do be sneaky.

[steel wagon]

Ye

[placid flame]

approach those slowly

[half olive]

Ok 👍

[steel wagon]

Well ima play tomorrow

Just getting to 3rd phase took me few hours

[proper flume]

Amazon same day shipping in the future.

[steel wagon]

Amazon drivers on Mars

[short ivy]

Better handled than evri ever could

[steel wagon]

But hey atleast it's fast

[blazing fossil]

Took me exactly 2 hours from starting the exped until I finished phase 1, because they placed the damn waste heap at the bottom of a fucking mountain

[steel wagon]

Lol

[short ivy]

Ikr

[steel wagon]

Mine are wayyyy up

It kept flinging stuff off and down the slope

[finite owl]

man I am not a fan of these mountains

[graceful pulsar]

Is there a break for the colosus

[placid flame]

nope

[wraith junco]

Reverse ?

[placid flame]

thats the only trick

[tender tusk]

too bad the Colossus isn't like the Mako

[blazing fossil]

There is a bug for some people that causes the visor also reverses your car

[lavish stream]

bit of a dumb q, but does it matter if tracks are on the front or back?

[fleet folio]

That's not a bug, that's the default controls

[half olive]

Not that I know of.

[fleet folio]

Exocraft controls has reverse (and dive, on the sub) assigned to the same controller button as the visor by default

I'm just glad I figured out how to remove a controller mapping (click right stick)

[lavish stream]

Well my dumbass sold the cargo instead of dumping it for evaluation

For fucks sake

Does this mean I have to hunt for toxic waste again

[woeful osprey]

why

[lavish stream]

Why what

[half olive]

Can you post a meme as a reply here? Don't want to get into trouble

[woeful osprey]

look at what i replied to monitor

[half olive]

"insert some men want to watch the world burn meme" here.

[wraith venture]

Post in #memes🤡 and link to that from here if you'd like

[half olive]

Thank you! I'm glad I asked.

[woeful osprey]

hai george!

[final herald]

This is a crazy easy expedition, but I do have one question, or two really. There's only 2 missions I'm struggling with, I need to find one more mineral and 4 new animals in the planet

I've been driving around for hours trying to find anything new

After the first hour I finally found a new rock but it's been a MINUTE at this point

Any advice?

[patent oar]

Two minerals underground, two are pebbles in the mountains, four are normally on surface

[final herald]

@patent oar I think it's the underground one I'm missing then, but I've only found one rock in all the caves I've seen

[half olive]

Someone posted this picture earlier of the rocks needed for scan.

[woeful osprey]

look at the ceiling of the caves

[patent oar]

Yeah the rocks that grow from the floor and ceiling are different ones

[final herald]

Hmm I definitely did that

[woeful osprey]

missing the stalactite

[final herald]

@half olive w picture

Does anyone have one for the animals?

[worldly zenith]

Stalactites (Hanging) and Stalagmites (Ground)

[jagged wren]

the nearest trade outpost is like an hour away, do I have to go all the way there if I wanna sell stuff? or is there an easier way

[patent oar]

Finish the expedition

[jagged wren]

damn

[patent oar]

And you'll get access to ship

You also get trade rocket along the way

[jagged wren]

oh wait trade rocket would work

[final herald]

@jagged wren i had to drive for an hour to get to the 3rd stages trash pile lol

[jagged wren]

I just want to empty my inventory a bit without deleting stuff

[final herald]

Now it wants me to return that shit like bro

[jagged wren]

at that point just head back, and if your stuff gets destroyed, pick up special waste from the small debris piles

[final herald]

Good advice

Also

Minor complaint really

Why tf is this planet so bumpy and hilly

[jagged wren]

I found plenty within about 5 minutes before reaching the uh. place. I forgot its name

[final herald]

Like they couldn't have made it 20% smoother lol

[patent oar]

I mean, its not the worst that nms generation can cook up

[final herald]

The amount of time I've driven sideways on a mountain lol

[half olive]

@final herald ^ lol

[slow nexus]

how rare is it to find explosive waste in the gree nindustrial wastes

without going to another heap

[final herald]

@patent oar this is true, I just figured they would make it a little less headache inducing to drive on the planet if the entire expedition is meant for us to be driving on that planet lol

[violet notch]

I'm on the Roadsign part where I gotta chart, but it keeps staying at 5/6 even if a new one is discovered by me, any help?

[jagged wren]

I had to just, pick a direction and start traveling

scan for whatever structures you can, drop pods are a good one cuz they're pretty common

for some reason, the ones closer to the spawn area don't give it to you

[knotty pier]

does anyone know if the salvage stuff despawns

[violet notch]

I'm like half an hour away from spawn by now haha

[woeful osprey]

new region maybe

[violet notch]

I'll just try some more haha

Maybe switch to primary save and come back to expedition will fix some issues for me, I'll try that as well

I'll try the pod first

[light narwhal]

Aww so I cant even buy ships at the station? "Ship purchase disabled". Does that count for crashes too?

[woeful osprey]

anyone know how to get the other stuff for the Colossus?

[light narwhal]

Also an exotic spawns at the expedition station if people want to come back for it

[woeful osprey]

no ships till finished

[half olive]

Yep. It won't let you. And even if you could get it, you probably couldn't repair it until you finished the expedition.

[oblique drift]

Hauler not letting me charge launch thruster even though I have launch fuel. Anyone else?

[woeful osprey]

either ur in wrong chat or you finished expedition

[light narwhal]

Im "finished" or i couldn't get to the station. Was just trying to blow money on a ship with cargo space instead of use these repair kits on the provided ship

[violet notch]

Getting here didn't get 6/6, going back to primary save and back into the expedition and hitting the beacon again, did work.
Fixed.

[oblique drift]

Not quite. Haven’t finished all parts of phase 5

[half olive]

Ships are disabled in this expedition. You must complete it entirely before you can use your ship.

[limber arrow]

Slight problem on the chart waypoints quest, I'm supposed to use the antennas that say "Save & Chart", right?

I've been using them, but it stays at 0/6

[woeful osprey]

the game won't allow you too

what mastablastya said

[half olive]

Many players ( including myself ) have struggled with this one. They seem to be bugged. Some that are further away and belong to other buildings can work. But usually the ones near the waste facilities do not count sometimes.

[limber arrow]

I've tried regular facilities and drop pods too, still 0/6.

[half olive]

Do you have multiplayer on?

[limber arrow]

Yes

[half olive]

That's the problem then. Multiplayer messes them up even worse.

[limber arrow]

Broeh

Thank you very much

:)

[half olive]

Turn multiplayer off, then manually save with save beacon. Restart game and find new location. It may potentially fix your issue.

[quiet sparrow]

my ship did not spawn at all is that normal for this expidition

[limber arrow]

Same so probably yeah

[half olive]

Yes. Ships are disabled for this expedition

[limber arrow]

I stoll got like 3 more ores to find aswell

It's tedious but I want the new drip

[half olive]

You will see your ship icon marker return once you complete the expedition 👍

[quiet sparrow]

welp time to knock these last few steps out then

[limber arrow]

Time to drive for 11 minutes :D

[timid torrent]

so i may or may not have already discovered 5/6 creatures on the planet and now i have been instructed to scan 2 with my exocraft ..... any solution to this ?

[simple raptor]

does anyone have the glyphs for the expedition planet

[limber arrow]

It's still broken

[half olive]

Sorry to hear that. This expedition has been a struggle with bugs

[limber arrow]

Back to driving I guess

[half olive]

You may be potentially softlocked until it's patched. Or starting the expedition over. 😩

[limber arrow]

I'll prevail, trust.

Mileage jumpscare

[timid torrent]

sadness

[oblique drift]

Is anyone actually enjoying this expedition? I haven’t be around as long as a lot of folks here but I’ve got some time in on this game and I’ve loved every bit of it. Remnant is a tedium simulator and I can’t believe they actually put it out.

[timid torrent]

gotta let us explorers know we shouldn't be absent-mindedly discovering everything HAHA

[limber arrow]

It's really cool, but it will put your patience to the test.

[outer sinew]

As a switch user, i can’t believe i can finally use this channel without feeling jealousy

[limber arrow]

Salvation

[oblique drift]

Yeah, who needs that? I’m a grown adult with real world responsibilities and stress. Patience is my middle name. Could that not be the case while I’m gaming…please?

[half olive]

Can't say I enjoyed this one as much as other expeditions. At times I got really frustrated because of how easy it is to fling stuff out of the Colossus flatbed.

Then the terrible travel times and clunky handling of the exocraft

[limber arrow]

I love scanning for a trade hub and reading "1 HOUR"

[oblique drift]

I ran on foot for 45 minutes tonight. I will never do that again.

[limber arrow]

Pro tip: don't do that.

YES

I FOUND THE LAST DAMN ROCK

[quiet sparrow]

so im guessing get the 6 waypoints is bugged hit 3 multiplayer turn offed 0 of them counted

[limber arrow]

You HAVE to use an undiscovered one

[half olive]

Yep. It's buggy for nearly everyone

[quiet sparrow]

my multiplayer is off all 3 are undiscorved for me

[limber arrow]

All of mine have said discovered by (player username) even tho it said undiscovered

[quiet sparrow]

hope they fix that

[limber arrow]

IT TOOK 11 MINUTES!

[quiet sparrow]

cuase im not driving no hour away

[limber arrow]

1/6

I DIDT IT

I GOT ONE

[quiet sparrow]

im like 20min away

from my stary

[half olive]

Now to get 5 more

[limber arrow]

25:10 to go...

Nvm monolith 11:53

Oh its midnight

[timid torrent]

ayo how would i go about restarting the expedition ? i am grateful what to look out for now

[limber arrow]

Look through all the material you need

Chromatic metal, pure ferrite, energized cobalt, etc.

Saves time

[timid torrent]

the issue i'm having is more to do with a step that i physically can't complete is all

[limber arrow]

What is it

[timid torrent]

i've already discovered 5/6 creatures before needing to scan 2,, force of habit

[limber arrow]

Did you get the flying one yet

That was the one I was missing

[timid torrent]

only one i have yet to find, but again that'd be 1 out of 2 creatures the expedition requires me to scan

[limber arrow]

Oomf

[timid torrent]

i'm happy to restart as i'll very quickly catch up,, recovering from a concert anyway

just need to know how :]

[limber arrow]

Did you check discoveries for it's spawn info

[timid torrent]

i believe i did yes

[limber arrow]

Could be nocturnal or diurnal

[timid torrent]

it's diurnal, but it doesn't make a difference if i have to find a 2nd one and am softlocked out of it

[limber arrow]

Oh

Damn

[timid torrent]

yeye

i won't be able to complete the expedition without waiting for a patch or restarting

[limber arrow]

Yeah hopefully the glitches are patched before the 6 week duration

[timid torrent]

i barely got through anyway,, just started so it's not really a big deal

[timid torrent]

hope so !

[light narwhal]

Does the colossus get saved/transferred somehow or do I have to take off and transfer its upgrades/mods?

[limber arrow]

Phase 1: complete
Phase 2: complete
Phase 3: 4/7
Phase 4: 5/7
Phase 5: 2/7

Yikes

I'm too far in to restart

[half olive]

Just finish what you can and wait for a fix. 👍. The expedition goes to March 25th I think.

[limber arrow]

2/6

Crashed freighter

[half olive]

To your main save? I don't think so. Best bet is to take off mods n transfer them back through the terminal in anomaly

[vernal parcel]

Finished the expedition

That was an ordeal

Very repetitive

[half olive]

Yep. It was very tedious lol

[vernal parcel]

But honestly I could have had fun just truckin' around if it wasn't on the absolute worst possible planet

[cedar badger]

Dammit, they thought of everything. Can't buy a random ship that landed on the surface.

[limber arrow]

This bs is more barren than the Sahara man

[vernal parcel]

and then you fall in a hole

[limber arrow]

Yep

[vernal parcel]

Going in I had expected a chain of trucking objectives that followed a path around the planet but instead it was just repeatedly backtracking to the same waste disposal facility from further and further distances.

Well, at least the outfit for completing it is cool.

[limber arrow]

What.

I'm over 10k units away

[vernal parcel]

also the gravity gun is so weak that it can hardly be used as a weapon like it was implied

[limber arrow]

You kinda just command grab and fling em

[outer sinew]

One of the quests wants me to scan a mineral in the exocraft, so should i make sure to leave one until i get the scope?

[timid torrent]

yes

[ashen violet]

What a difference the spider legs make

Too bad we only get it for the last long haul

[limber arrow]

Legs

[half olive]

Hopefully you didn't scan any animals either. There's one where you have to scan 2 critters with it.

[ashen violet]

That one bugged out for me and I got credit for both scanning ones from people driving by as soon as I arrived at the dump

[half olive]

It's softlocked some folks who scanned them before using the Colossus.

[limber arrow]

I'm actually going to cry.

[timid torrent]

is there a way i can fully restart the expedition because of it ? i researched it and i may unable to,, i'm not sure as my primary save and my current expedition save are linked

[ashen violet]

Also screw the little radioactive barrels in particular

[timid torrent]

i appreciate the support by the way

[ashen violet]

You don't jostle them at all and off they go

[noble cobalt]

Im the only one who likes the aspect of loosing the cargo?

Like u have to drive carefully and stuff, i find it fun

[shy helm]

Has anyone managed to unlock the other locked exocraft customization options? The Widescreen cabin? Superelastic wheels, tracked treads, caterpillar, and off-road running-gear? Or the furnace?

[ashen violet]

I wouldn't mind if I didn't always wind up at that lip between two craters to return to the damn garbage dump

[ashen violet]

No matter how carefully you go over it things fall off

I found myself leaning left seated at the couch

[limber arrow]

I have been putting all my supercharge slots into speed buffs.

[noble cobalt]

Is this the most hated expedition?

[limber arrow]

So far, yeah

It's testing my patience sm I am close to comparing it to the NMS first launch.

[ashen violet]

I found one random waste processing plant on the way to waste heap 2 but then didn't save it and the radar only showed me the very first one 8, 11, and 14 subsequent minutes away

[shy helm]

I was flung into the stratosphere twice, losing all my specialist cargo - almost quit the game for the day.

[jagged wren]

it's been a while since I've done an expedition, I forget - can I claim rewards for each milestone from my main save as well, or just the reward for each phase?

[limber arrow]

My game crashed.

No autosave.

Nothing.

I have to go another 17 minutes.

[ashen violet]

You know, when I was the description of the update I imagined a flatbed hitched to the colossus

[half olive]

Hello Games really messed this one up. ( Which usually means there will be a fast fix coming ). You may be softlocked until it's patched.

[ashen violet]

It's hard enough to keep things on the back of the actual colossus

Thank god

[jagged wren]

yeah, I wish there were a way to at least make stuff less likely to fall

[ashen violet]

Spider legs are doing amazing for that

Only problem is they trip over dihydrogen

[jagged wren]

oh interesting

[ashen violet]

Nothing else is stopping me, just dihydro

[limber arrow]

SOMEONE ELSE DISCOVERED A NODE I PASSED BY

IM GOING TO SCREAM AT MY TV IN KOREAN

[ashen violet]

Turn multiplayer off and restart the game

[blazing fossil]

Is it just me or is toxic waste rarer than the other two?

[ashen violet]

It gives credit for stuff you've already saved at

[limber arrow]

I did.

[ashen violet]

If you revisit

[timid torrent]

oki i'll make sure to stay patient then, thank you :]

[blazing fossil]

Yes, with Aquarius and pioneers after imo

[mellow badge]

im hoping a fix is soon for my issue, Colossus Radar will only point to one Waste Management and one Waste Heap that ive already been to, even scanned from another planet after getting ship back and it still pointed to the waste heap ive already cleaned out

[vernal parcel]

Man, the more I think on it, the more I feel like I finished doing a job than having an adventure.

[ashen violet]

Yeah I have to go back to the first one each time

[half olive]

If you have an X account, Sean usually posts about updates and patch-bugfixes. https://x.com/NoMansSky

[ashen violet]

That would be bearable if the flatbed was like a forcefield

[vernal parcel]

2 hours of slow precision driving has left me feeling exhausted

[timid torrent]

appreciated !!

[ashen violet]

I mean we have the technology

[vernal parcel]

or was it 3

[ashen violet]

Split it up. I stopped halfway last night

[vernal parcel]

it does have a forcefield of sorts, just not on the top

[ashen violet]

This is my second ever expedition and I don't want it to be my last

[vernal parcel]

Same here

[limber arrow]

I hate it, but I need the drip.

[noble cobalt]

Aquarius?! That was peak

[vernal parcel]

the drip is good

[half olive]

Literally me the whole time doing it 😂

[cloud oxide]

Love the expedition so far, it is also the first one that I haven't finished in one day and it's because of my one and only complaint: Careful driving and procedurally generated maps don't generally mesh well.

[noble cobalt]

I find the carefully driving fun

[ashen violet]

Is it procedural if everyone is on the same one

[noble cobalt]

And its not that terrible as people say

[ashen violet]

Or you mean equally procedural for all

[limber arrow]

The package part is fine since I played TRDS.

[cloud oxide]

Careful driving I'm absolutely fine with but because the ground isn't designed ground, it was generated, there have been many times where I'm going at a crawl and then I lose several pieces of scrap. They just fall out. Unless that's a bug and not cause of the nature of generation

[green furnace]

tbh the only issue I had with this expedition is how long it took from point A to point B 😭

[noble cobalt]

Never experienced it. The only time i actually lost everything is wjen my truck fell into a cave, or when i accidentally dumped the materials

[violet notch]

Yesterday I loaded 12 things from the heap, lost 5 things on the way back, rest despawned at the facility 🥲

[half olive]

@cloud oxide I had the same issue. ( watch the video above ^ )

[blazing fossil]

An expedition that was purely based on rng is not well designed or fun imo.

[ashen violet]

The last dump has the last six toxic waste I need. But only the six, so no spares

[jagged wren]

I fell in a cave earlier but was carrying a ton of the special scrap, like 16 pieces or so, and I didn't want to lose it so I dug my way out of the cave with the terrain manipulator

[frozen frigate]

this was the single most enjoyable expedition ever, im looking to roleplaying a garbage man again

[blazing fossil]

I only need one more toxic waste, but I have to go, so I’ll get it later

[noble cobalt]

You have to look ahead too, even the smallest hills can fuck u up

[jagged wren]

wait I recognize you, from the v.a proxy server

[ripe panther]

How tf do I chart waypoints?

[frozen frigate]

OH HELL YEA I THINK I DO TOO

[ashen violet]

Save points on stuff

[ripe panther]

I’ve been using those and I’m still stuck at 0/6

[atomic estuary]

Have to interact with this thingy

[ripe panther]

I literally have been using those why tf am I on 0/6!?

I’ve been stuck on this objective for 3 hours!

[half olive]

You got multiplayer on?

[mellow badge]

when multiplayer on, any that were found by other players first will not count for you

[ripe panther]

No bc people kept building lag machines and crashing me

[limber arrow]

If it's been discovered by another player before, it won't count.

[civic zinc]

You need to use them in different region of the planet

[ripe panther]

So I’m cooked basically
They probably found them all on this planet already

[civic zinc]

Many of them are in the same region.

[noble cobalt]

It will be fixed soon i feel

[cloud oxide]

Yep, that was quite common, especially on the mountains and whenever there were the orbs nearby. Another one was when the ground was wavy it would just randomly drop 1-3 pieces. Like straight through the back of the flatbed

[west ember]

I love how expeditions make me forget how to play this game... need parafinium but can't find any. Game says go to another planet but can't find my ship...
Sigh...

[half olive]

There should be a patch or bugfix incoming soon that fixes this issue. Many players are struggling with this milestone ( even I struggled )

[noble cobalt]

Theres a issue where the small pieces of scrap just fell thru. Its a bug

[noble cobalt]

Not common if u are careful imo

[wraith venture]

@limber arrow let's stick to NMS media only here, per pinned rules: #nms-expedition message
-# memes only go in #memes🤡 (where you can post with Familiar role - xp level 5 - run !FamiliarRole in #bot-spam for deets).

[limber arrow]

My bad

[civic zinc]

Beat you can do is finnish the main expedition and unlock your spaceship and fly to them.

I used exocraft sacaner then used my ship.

[half olive]

You can make it on the planet.

[frozen frigate]

i played so it goes the entire expedition and felt like an american trucker

[crystal karma]

I got completely stuck in a ditch and accidentally reversed into a cave, respawned colossus, began stacking again and had to run because Warning: Hostile Vector Detected whilst I’m with a bunch of explosive, radioactive and toxic scrap

This is rather unfortunate. (Thought to post it here in a less active channel).

Currently awaiting the pirate to leave whilst I’m in the cave.

[mellow badge]

pirate wont leave, I had that issue, had to save/reload to despawn it

[west ember]

Thank you!!

[limber arrow]

I'm just going to give up until a patch because I found an undiscorvered one, and it still didn't credit.

I have found over 30

And 2 were tallied.

[ashen violet]

Fly to what?

[full pewter]

What backpack is that?

[ashen violet]

Just keep moving at a normal speed they go away

Only attack if you stand still

[mellow badge]

they attacked me relentlessly while I was trying to escape, when I left my colossus they kept shooting at it while I walked away

[ripe panther]

My hopes aren’t high I’ve seen similar expedition bugs never get patched
Idek why I try playing these anymore

Srry for late reply I was crashing tf out bc I just wasted 3 hours on this bs

[ashen violet]

Oh they just ignored me and I was driving slow and carefully

[half olive]

All good 👍. Bugs can be hella frustrating.

[mellow badge]

most of the time I see the pirate npc ships fighting non-pirate npc ships

[ashen violet]

I can't get over how much easier the spider legs make moving trash, but they can't overcome dihydrogen or other non special trash in the ground

[half olive]

Part of me hopes they add a jump function when those are equipped lol

[ashen violet]

I'm dodging dihydro like I was bumps on wheels

[mellow badge]

thats why I stopped using spider legs, darn dihydrogen kept causing me to stop suddenly making cargo fly

[half olive]

Imagine a giant hopping Colossus

[ashen violet]

There is a jump on the wheels but it's like a rhino jump

[mellow badge]

it can jump very slightly

[half olive]

Ah. Never knew it had one.

[ashen violet]

X on ps controller

[mellow badge]

I mostly used it with the motorbike exocraft to get massive air off hills

[half olive]

It's so minor I thought it didn't have one haha

[mellow badge]

get 3 boost and engine upgrades and you can get good air if you find a jump at the right angle

[rain stream]

So are you supposed to be able to summon your starship during the expedition? I summoned one I've never seen before by accident when trying to summon my exocraft lol

[mellow badge]

sadly it doesnt help if your spidercraft gets stuck on dihydrogen

[rain stream]

Lmao I noticed this

[tulip root]

You can summon it and it works once you've completed the expedition

[mellow badge]

usually unable to summon ship at first because launch thrusters are too damaged

[rain stream]

I haven't finished yet I'm on step 5 ATM

[tulip root]

Me too. Glad I'm not the only one. I thought I was going crazy

[half olive]

Starships are disabled. Can't buy or trade. Even the crashed ones won't work. You gotta completely finish the expedition. Then your starship icon will show up and then you can fly

[rain stream]

My crashed one works, I'm definitely not finished lol

[half olive]

Ohh?? 👀

[rain stream]

Half the storage is still broke but my landing thrusters worked fine

I accidentally called it down when I wasn't able to before for that reason

[mellow badge]

just finish the last milestone for delivering 5 special waste to the recycler place, I still have the 16 of each special waste milestones to finish

[rain stream]

I wonder if I was within range of it without being aware?

[timid torrent]

i ended up scanning the last creature i had to discover, still needing 1 more for the objective, and it cleared me and gave my rewards. :] so didn't need to wait !

[half olive]

You may have found a light within the darkness.

So you can fly around?

[rain stream]

Some people may find a couple other planets have a lot of Roks on them lmao

Yes, I went to two other planets in the hello games system and renamed a lot of minerals to some stupid variation of Rok.

Because they didn't apparently name them themselves

[cedar galleon]

If you die in expedition mode, do you have to start all over again?

[half olive]

Absolutely fantastic. I wish I had known about this before I completed it 😂

[rain stream]

Yes, Interplanetary travel. It makes getting to the trash heaps the fast part lmao

[mellow badge]

I wonder that, because I was contemplating jumping into the toxic waste recycler vat (into the purple goo) >.>

[rain stream]

I still have 9 radioactive material to deliver

That's the last thing I need to finish the expedition

[mellow badge]

I just wish the Colossus Radar would show un-looted Waste Heaps instead of the one I already emptied of special trash

do I gotta remove the scrap trash too?

[mellow badge]

I have 4 Toxic Material to deliver left, got tired of driving around to the random trash piles lookin and only finding radioactive or explosive

[quiet sparrow]

okay the game will not give me this final chart every one i use says i discoverd it

[rain stream]

Lol I'm only finding toxic that's hilarious

[mellow badge]

do the Waste Heaps respawn waste if multiplayer is on?

[rain stream]

Remember also it may be upwards of up to a week before things stop bugging out. Patch day madness. All things considered it's working pretty well but I've run into quite a few issues in the process

Awkward collisions, extreme lag when facing the planet or the highest concentration of where players are on PS5 pro. Minor things but noticable.

[half olive]

No idea. I always play with multiplayer off. It usually screws things up if left on.

[mellow badge]

whats funny is the only bugs I ran into was the walker legs getting stuck on things like Dihydrogen or Sulfur plants, and the Colossus Radar no longer finding new Heaps or Recycling centers

[rain stream]

I never thought about just turning off multiplayer to do the expedition. That would definitely help the lag issue lol

[ashen violet]

Ooh love that music

[rain stream]

Lmao I love the walker legs but yeah I noticed that right off the bat.

[mellow badge]

though I did fall out of the map once, tried to hide my colossus in a cave I made from pirate ship, got out, and it spawned me under the ground and I fell and teleported about 6 feet from the exocraft

[viscid bear]

help! I cant complete the chart waypoints mission

[half olive]

I've found the frame rate drops when using the scanner on Colossus to locate nearby scrap

[mellow badge]

the walker legs are fun if your just exploring, but when hauling waste, its a bit annoying

[rain stream]

Front tank treads seen to give me the best traction of what I've tried so far. I supercharged my forward grip and I can practically climb straight up lmao

[ashen violet]

They're honestly better for hauling stuff

Nothing falls off

But the pebbles are a problem

[rain stream]

My problem is my exocraft is so fast now, that if I hit a mini incline that goes back down, everything launches out over the top of my exocraft and spills out in front of me so I can only really move half speed unless it's very flat

[half olive]

This is a common issue and is currently bugged. Make sure multiplayer is off. It may or may not work.

[mellow badge]

when I had that issue, I just packaged my upgrades up until I needed to be fast again

[ashen violet]

Need to straddle it and slowly shift weight

Oh it just fixed the ship up for you

[rain stream]

Everything is so so far away I always want to go full throttle. I got home from my night shift this morning I was so eager to play that I kept falling asleep hauling stuff and every time I'd open my eyes I'd be like 3 minutes closer but 2 things went missing from the back lol

[viscid bear]

Multiplayer is off

[rain stream]

So is anyone is able to make it to the live incompatible planet. I named the rocks dumb stuff

Life*

[ashen violet]

There is literally nothing I want to send to my main save

[rain stream]

Yeah it's my first expedition and I'm really not impressed lol

[half olive]

It should be patched soon. Lots of people are struggling with this milestone.

[blazing fossil]

IM FUCKING DONE

FINALLY

Worst expedition I’ve ever played

[rain stream]

Woo I need 8 more radioactive material to finish ☠️

First expedition I ever played 🥲

[tulip root]

Anyone know how to unlock the colossus customisation options on your main save?

(other than the expedition reward ones)

[blazing fossil]

They’re attached to the titles you can get

[half olive]

I'm jealous cause you actually got a working ship to fly around in. Haha.

I did it the long tedious way by driving ☠️

[rain stream]

I did for 90% of it. It's only going to help with my last step lol

I think it probably happened as a bug too because every other time I tried summoning my ship it didn't work

But since the first time it showed up when I did it by accident, it can be summoned no problem now

[half olive]

Blessed by bug. 🐛

[rain stream]

Yusssss

I went to the space station and started construction of a Corvette but it doesnt let you finish it lol

[half olive]

I'm assuming that's how you get the other cosmetic parts too?

[blazing fossil]

Think so yes

[rain stream]

I'm gonna see how much of the system I can rename before others get off the planet lmao

[civic zinc]

To abadone buildings or monolits where these save points are.

These wierd antena that save your progress

[rain stream]

I noticed many players crashed starships everywhere. I'm wondering if I just rolled cosmic dice and won the lottery by happening to be close to my crashed ship?

[ashen violet]

Ah gotcha

I just searched for depots and abandoned buildings and stuff

Was able to make progress that way

[wheat pawn]

I like the driving aspect you get to explore the planet more for a change

[ashen violet]

Other than surprise invisible scrap stealing pits

[rain stream]

I'm going to the paradise planet in the system lol

[wheat pawn]

I wanted to see what that one is like

[marsh plover]

top 5 worst expeditions

[ashen violet]

The customization set is very Destiny Warlock

And looks especially cursed with the Hunter hood I use

[rain stream]

Oh wow really pretty paradise planet

[acoustic jacinth]

Where do I get the Furnace Upgrade for the Colossus. The Portable scrapper.

[wheat pawn]

I’ll have to take a look

[acoustic jacinth]

The upgrade that makes the Colossus turn to a Garbage Truck.

[misty plinth]

is the chart waypoints milestone not working for anyone else? i have disabled multiplayer and even put steam in offline mode. i have been to 15 way point markers and im still at 0/ 6 so im assuming this 1 is bugged?

[wheat pawn]

Mine did this for a while but I closed down the game reloaded and also upload the waypoint data too and it was fine, if this helps

[slow jay]

so what i noticed at the very final phase: there's a natural trench (the dark skid mark) that runs a good length of the distance between the rendezvous points, said trench is quite smooth for much of the length for more stable driving

(had to redo to add pic)

it doesn't run the WHOLE way of course, but take advantage of it

[wraith junco]

True. If we had like strap down tech for cargo it would be better. Was feeling playing death stranding again. The real main feature of this update is corvettes on switch 1 anyways

[wraith junco]

It worked for me. Need to interact with save pole at poi

[violet notch]

I had to go back to primary save and back to make it work

I was stuck at 5/6

[wraith junco]

Look out for cave holes tho

[slow jay]

natural pot holes

[rain stream]

Lol this paradise planet is awesome.

[misty plinth]

ok, tried this. did not work. thank you though

[violet notch]

I just hauled a thing and stuff despawned off my truck when I wanted to sort 🥲

[misty plinth]

yep, i understand this consept and have clicked on every one of them. Thanks though

[misty plinth]

just tried this and it did not work for me. so i am at a loss how to complete this

[violet notch]

Dang..

Xbox, console and PC app/Microsoft store don't have the update yet

[void sigil]

ah

thanks

does it always do that?

i dont remember it happening before tbh

[atomic estuary]

Developer sends new game build for verification, sometimes they don't pass for whatever reason and have to make adjustments, sometimes verification takes longer, we don't know what the exact reason is

[void sigil]

ah

alright, as long as its not on my end

cheers B

[mellow badge]

reason could be Microsoft wanting more money before they allow the update to go through on there

[void sigil]

man i wish i could move my game to steam

[wraith junco]

Cross save ?

[rain stream]

This paradise planet shall have my heavy footprint 😂

[ashen violet]

Carbon footprint keeping to the theme of the update

[rain stream]

Yes and my name, Jeefwee, the Nuisance.

[limber arrow]

3/6

Just 3 more

[humble geode]

well. that was fun

[rain stream]

I'm currently trying to discover every mineral, plant and animal in the paradise planet in the expedition system lmao

[humble geode]

fun!

[hot grail]

what do i do

[humble geode]

you interact with waypoint beacons

there's usually one at every point of interest on the map

it's where you create a save.

er, a restore point

[rain stream]

Use your exocraft scanner to find any waypoint for you and the save points are at most of f them

[misty plinth]

click on waypoint beacons. but it could be bugged. as i have now clicke don 18 of them and im still at 0 /6

[humble geode]

so, wondering if anyone else ended up using those road-like carve-outs across the terrain? i presume they'd likely be eroded exposed lavatubes or something

they made the travel a lot more bearable

[lavish bolt]

Is the waypoint Quest buggy?

[misty plinth]

some have had no issue. and some like me. cant get it to work. ive clicked on 18 waypoints now and im still at 0 out of 6

[lavish bolt]

same, only have 1/6.

[heady pilot]

Does this expedition have any truly unique items or technology that are unobtainable in the main game that we can transfer back to the main save?

[humble geode]

oh how i wish it were easier to carve out smooth, sloped, winding paths overland with our multitools... the "flatten" mode is somewhat too rigid...

[hot grail]

those saving things right

[rain stream]

I was thinking like how astroneer exocraft can both drill and pace a road at the same time. That would be easy to pull off

[tulip root]

General advice with the waypoints is to turn off multiplayer

[lavish bolt]

You probably have to interact with one and then restart the game. Cuz I saved there the last time yesterday and this morning I had 1/6.

[clever wedge]

there's a pretty cool outfit and camo for exocrafts

[misty plinth]

ya , the white poles at POIs that ya click on to do a save

[hot grail]

did 2 already nothing

[humble geode]

(it would be better though if we could build road surfaces similar to the Death Stranding method though where the road structure is attached to the terrain but is defined by spline curves--minimal mathematic impact and not requiring expensive voxel data.)

[heady pilot]

Not what I'm asking about. Those are expedition rewards you get on all saves.

[placid flame]

wooo finished the expedition!

[limber arrow]

4/6

[limber arrow]

Congrats!

[clever wedge]

so not transferable. ok

[timid torrent]

how do the waypoints work ?

[limber arrow]

Bugged rn

[placid flame]

now i just need to farm mats :<

[timid torrent]

good to know

[limber arrow]

It's best you stay offline and collect the ones that your scanner marks

[timid torrent]

yeah i getchu. i'm just relieved i fixed my other issue

[limber arrow]

The softlock?

[woven bramble]

who could have thought update about trash is trash

[limber arrow]

Kek

[timid torrent]

yes indeed,, i scanned that last creature and it just immediately rewarded me

[dreamy bolt]

I noticed you need to discover Waypoints someone else likely hasn't been at yet, since I got one that gave me Nav. Data and it counted as 1/6.

[misty plinth]

ok, i have clicked on 18 waypoint beacons. i have tried disabling multiplayer, I have tried putting steam into offline mode, I have verified the files 3 times. restarted my PC 1 time. I have gone into discoveries and uploaded those. and per yer suggestion i have now restarted the game 11 times.

[placid flame]

unknown sector save points

[dreamy bolt]

Ye

Considering everyone and their brother is out here, this is... gonna take a minute lol

[humble geode]

my condolences to those who are experiencing errors.

[timid torrent]

oh fuck that's rough

[humble geode]

i suppose i was just anomalously fortunate.

[placid flame]

i highly reccomend you disable online mode for the expedition

[humble geode]

maybe it's because i played it offline!

[dreamy bolt]

I didn't know that was even an option lol

[slow jay]

bruh these trucks need headlights fr

[timid torrent]

yeah i mean a lot less floating and teleporting players, exocrafts and creatures would be nice on my screen hehe

[placid flame]

go into your network settings in your menu and it will say multiplayer then click it so its set to disabled

[misty plinth]

NMS just released a hot fix on steam. loading it now. hope this fixes it

[dreamy bolt]

Yeah, I know HOW, I just thought Expos had to be done in multiplayer

But appreciate it. 👍

[placid flame]

nope they can all be done solo

[ashen violet]

Umm. That update didn't address shit

[rain stream]

Okay, 95% ok the paradise planet has been named something dumb by me lmao

[simple raptor]

nope

[dreamy bolt]

Technically it does, I think the Spider Legs are unique to the Expo

[mellow badge]

Fixed an issue which caused Corvette collision to be incorrect when landed on planets.
Fixed an issue which caused some PCVR setups to have lower than intended graphical quality.```

[rain stream]

And the gravity gun

[simple raptor]

theyre referring to transferrable items not customisation stuff

[placid flame]

you'll get rewards for each phase at the quicksilver store for all of your playthroughs and future playthroughs

[dreamy bolt]

Oooohhh

[simple raptor]

you can get that on regular non-expedition saves

[dreamy bolt]

My bad lol

[rain stream]

Ohh lol

Misunderstood

[rain stream]

So was I like one of the only ones lucky enough to bug, get my starship and be able to visit other planets? This is wild

[misty plinth]

Ya, i was just reading the notes. waypoints is buggy and they put in a patch to fix an issue with corvettes????seriously?????? /bonks the developers

[rain stream]

I'm playing on PS5 and not PC so shady business already off the table lol

[simple raptor]

i think (?) it becomes useable after finishing phase 5? or maybe after doing all 5 road trip milestones
atleast thats when i noticed mine was useable

[ashen violet]

I took the front hoe

[rain stream]

I haven't finished phase 5

[placid flame]

`i wish everyone still doing the expiditions well on their run

[misty plinth]

oh well, guess i wont be completing this expedition unless they fix the waypoint milestone. lol

[simple raptor]

?

[limber arrow]

4/6 waypoints

[rain stream]

I still can't build anything but the few things the expedition lets me but now I can fly in my ship lmao

So it will make getting my last 7 radioactive stuff just a teeny bit faster

[ashen violet]

Excavator thing

Not sure if that was already there for colossus

[simple raptor]

oh that yeah
but you can get that normally outside of the expedition

[silent bison]

When is the update to X box coming?

[ashen violet]

Couldn't find it or the gravitino gun but I also only looked for half a second

Is it on the anomaly?

[dusk bone]

It is

[simple raptor]

yeah both are in the anomaly

[ashen violet]

Cool

Gotcha

[dusk bone]

You can find it at the multi tool vendor

[simple raptor]

gravitino gun + all the new colossus tech you can unlock at the anomaly in regular non-expedition gameplay

[dusk bone]

^

I like that you can put visors/scanners on all of the exocrafts

[ashen violet]

Ah I just checked the heirloom customization. Looks like a Destiny Warlock

[dusk bone]

Thats what I said!

[ashen violet]

It's extra cursed since I used the Hunter hood

[rain stream]

Mwahaha there are two more life forms on the paradise planet that can be renamed. The rest are mine lol

[ashen violet]

Check caves

[dusk bone]

Or underwater...

[dreamy bolt]

That's... new? At least to me

[rain stream]

One is in the cave and one is underwater but I'm done looking I'm not a completionist lol

[ashen violet]

Nav beacons

They're in the game

[dusk bone]

Oh this has been a thing

[dreamy bolt]

Okay, cool lol

[simple raptor]

ancient data structure
lowk pretty useless in the expedition unfortunately

[ashen violet]

Find em and name them something juvenile like CigBock

[dreamy bolt]

I've somehow never stumbled on them before, even with the 150 hours >.>

[rain stream]

The first thing I saw was like... A rock. So I named it Rok. The. I kinda just ... Went with it

[ashen violet]

You also get them from the way points when they work, and if you found an abandoned building

[rain stream]

So everything is rok in some way or another

[simple raptor]

yeah

but in the expedition you cant really use the nav data

[ashen violet]

I much preferred the Breach redux I got to catch since I started nms in Jan

The underwater part gave me bad Subnautica vibes

[dreamy bolt]

The only bit of this I don't like is the damn truck being so SLOW xD

[ashen violet]

And right as I was about to start Below Zero as it was free on ps plus this expedition started and I don't want to even look at my console for a couple days

[dreamy bolt]

Lemme put some nO2 in this thing

[ashen violet]

Then you lose all the cargo

Have fun chasing it down the world's steepest butt cheek on the way back to the dump

[dreamy bolt]

NMS: Truck Simulator... lol

[outer lotus]

I just finished the expedition. The colossus is far to slow. Other than that its basically just don't run over certain things. I didn't have much trouble loosing cargo but I also wasn't loading more than 15 or so at a time.

[fallen wren]

NMS Mud Runner.. with no mud. This thing needs an autpilot

[ashen violet]

This is developer feedback. After all that you want to not do it at all

(me too)

[mellow badge]

cant really call it Space Truck Simulator, theres already one called Star Trucker

[dreamy bolt]

I get the idea, you're meant to make the trip part of the experience from Junk Heap, to Plant.

[fallen wren]

I'm kind of enjoying it.. .except when I went the wrong way for an hour and had to turn back 😂

[dreamy bolt]

The Expo just drags you out into scenarios you wouldn't use the truck to travel to, like the Roadsigns and stuff lol

In the main game, I think it'll be fine

[cyan patrol]

i have a question, until when will the expedition last?

[patent prism]

is it only me who is having issue with road signs mission or whatever its called

[ashen violet]

March 25th

[outer lotus]

Its not a bad experience. I enjoy driving around anyway

thx

[ashen violet]

Literally everyone is struggling

[patent prism]

it doesnt count anything

i wasted so much time already

[ashen violet]

The key word is around. The radar being broken and sending me back to the initial garbage dump again and again is the problem. I found one out in the wild near rendezvous 2 but didn't mark it so then the radar sent me back go the start. Every. Time.

[chrome zodiac]

Anyone know why basically zero structures are triggering my Roadsigns expedition goal progress? I've gone around to about 10 different waypoints and hit them all up... None of them triggered the goal to progress at all?

[dreamy bolt]

@chrome zodiac @patent prism Switch your Expo to Offline mode

[chrome zodiac]

Oh gosh. Okay.

Thank you.

[patent prism]

fine

[dreamy bolt]

You're hitting Points other folks have already used, so they won't count

Go to offline, and you'll be ace. 👍

[simple raptor]

damn i forgot the golden rule of offline mode fixing every problem

[outer lotus]

I'm pretty sure I went to the initial dump every time as well. Other than each run getting longer it wasn't much issue.

[chrome zodiac]

How do I swap to offline mode, does disabling multiplayer in game do that, or do I need to load out and back in?

[dreamy bolt]

Nah, you're on it, disable MP and you're good

[chrome zodiac]

Sorry, I haven't played in a LONG LONG time.

[woven bramble]

offline goat

[dreamy bolt]

I love NMS to bits, I really do, but the mass network code is... a mess xD

I saw trucks flying across the horizon earlier

[outer lotus]

Yep. I was trying to figure out how, thinking maybe thats a new feature. Then they started teleporting

That was my cue to switch to offline.

[dreamy bolt]

Uh... truck? You good, mate?

[outer lotus]

I think different wheel types have different stats. The legs are definitely the best that I've used for transporting things you don't jump nearly as much but you can't go over dihydrogen

It saw a bug

Then it realized it is a bug

[dreamy bolt]

Guess I'm lucky it didn't pull a Halo Elephant and flip entirely

[fallen wren]

How did you pull a wheelie! 😆

[dreamy bolt]

I'M NOT IN IT xD

That pic is taken in first person lol

[outer lotus]

Happened to me but I had fallen into a Crack and it took me a while to get back out. I had forgotten to pick up my spawner.

[dreamy bolt]

I hate those random-ass crevices lol

"I'm drivin' along, loving life-WHOASHI-"

[outer lotus]

Yep. Made sure to drive carefully after that.

[rain stream]

Time to rename the doomed cobalt planet 👀

Err
