nms-expedition

[chrome meadow]

how is the scrap falling out, like, is it going out the back, the sides?

[versed tree]

...?

[signal igloo]

you need to spin the anntenae

[versed tree]

[fickle lion]

Out the back
Slides right out immediately 😕

[chrome meadow]

I have been, I interact with the waypoint, it just doesn't count

[shut pasture]

That milestone seems to be bugged and a patch is on the way

[chrome meadow]

[signal igloo]

i got most of mine at buildings and drop pods

[shut pasture]

Either wait for the patch or just hit every waypoint you find, eventually they'll count

[restive ivy]

this cant go wrong... right?

[fickle lion]

Hopefully they patch the truck flatbed too for players like me lol

[chrome meadow]

just make sure to pat your ratchet straps and say "that's not going anywhere"

[shut pasture]

Patch what

Oh it's a joke nvm

[fickle lion]

Trash does not stay in my flatbed preventing me from progressing in the expedition
(Immediately slides out when moving)

[gentle coral]

these waypoints part is way buggy

just did like 14 of them stil have 5

[shut pasture]

That's a new one

[last summit]

I’m at one and it doesn’t register

[chrome meadow]

I do like how generous the coil is with range

[grizzled valve]

what a mess

[shut pasture]

Alright that's finished

5hr45min could have been a lot faster

[misty kite]

am i the only one whos this one DOES NOT work for

[golden apex]

How do you chart waypoints?

[misty kite]

oh, then i am NOT the only one then?

[viscid sparrow]

yeah im stuck at 1 waypoint for some reason

[golden apex]

I'm on Xbox as well and I'm actually enjoying the expedition

[shut pasture]

No, it's bugged and being patched

[gentle coral]

I have been raveling for hours

[viscid sparrow]

will we get the progress once its fixed

[gentle coral]

some work other dont

its more the ones that dont then the ones that do

[shut pasture]

How would I know... But I doubt it

You can either wait for the patch or just keep hitting waypoints, sometimes they do register

[misty kite]

then i am screwd then....

[shut pasture]

I did 12 or so before completing that milestone

[gentle coral]

I a on my 14th with 4 done

[viscid sparrow]

ive gone to almost every building near the expo stuff

ill have to drive for hours

[shut pasture]

Or wait for the patch?

[viscid sparrow]

i mean after

[dapper nexus]

Warning: don’t repeat my mistake - if you’re using someone else’s portal to visit the station and sell stuff, make sure to get the name of the base you’re leaving from, so you can go back. When I returned to the planet, I was at a base with no portal, and 255ks (4h) from the next waypoint. Im currently halfway through the long way back

[shut pasture]

If you scroll up there's a link to experimental branch patch notes and it's addressed

[viscid sparrow]

ill wait for experimental to come to the normal game so i can actually play

[shut pasture]

That's probably less frustrating

[signal igloo]

so the XB version is really broken?

[shut pasture]

From what others are saying it helps to turn of MP then restart. Like I said I had to do like 12 of them but it eventually completed

[signal igloo]

i started fro ma save where MP was disabled and was lucky to not see bases

day one there were no bases around. i wish HG would disallow bases in public req spaces

[sterile pulsar]

how are people even building bases ?

[signal igloo]

coming back to troll

they weren't from runnners at the start

[sterile pulsar]

ah ofc

[signal igloo]

i might have to disconnect to run next time around

because placing the exo port is basic first steps

[sterile pulsar]

yea i had to walk for 20min

lmao

[signal igloo]

one of the previous expeditions you needed to refine like under the wing of you ship because there were so many bases around the start

[tidal pollen]

Okay, having to get out of your truck and mine the hydrogen crystals around it's legs felt kinda immersive LOL

annoying bug but it felt immersive at least once

[chrome meadow]

ah, wanted to ask if that was a known problem

[signal igloo]

my truck mining beam was fast enough that as i inched my way forward i cleared them out

[tidal pollen]

it's fixed on the latest experimental builds so it's gonna be out soon

(sooner for pc)

[chrome meadow]

good to know

[signal igloo]

what did they fix?

i missed the earlier par

[tidal pollen]

mechanical legs getting stuck on the tinniest stuff

[signal igloo]

heh, so it's not intended? shucks

[languid jacinth]

Is it possible to play with friends or will we spawn in different places?

[signal igloo]

evenwith the the dyhy never got scooped up

[signal igloo]

you invite MP on to play with friends. you can should start together... if you join right away

like player one begins - player two selects their lobby and begin new game

[languid jacinth]

Ok then let's hope that works

[signal igloo]

you ought to be together... but this might be a tuff one to play MP on- with the greifing and stealing they are doing

[tidal pollen]

this was fire

[languid jacinth]

How else are we gonna fight the mp raiders that will try to steal our stuff lmao

[versed tree]

Tip for the reorientate sentinels milestone, you can just spam right click to pick up and drop repeatedly a single drone

this will count for the milestone and finish it quick

[signal igloo]

idk eeven with pvp off the scrap is a free for all

[chrome meadow]

cyberbullying

[signal igloo]

heh, i used it when gathering glass for my pistol - before i got the good upgrade

[tidal pollen]

you're just tickling them!

[signal igloo]

yeah, the stay still and giggle for a few seconds

[chrome meadow]

yeah, I wish the throw actually did something

[signal igloo]

i hit one with the other, and it did like 1 dam

but they were stun

lock drone - let go - change to weapon blast - dead before recovers

it was too easy to take on drones in the mouth of a ttunnel

• the tunnel prevents being flanked

[chrome meadow]

fatal funnel

[signal igloo]

freudian slip there

i typed preveRts

[chrome meadow]

brb, gonna go weep

I just yote myself into a pit

[signal igloo]

it happpens

then you respawn your truck toss the scrap near the truck reload and move on

[chrome meadow]

omfg

well

turns out

you can just destroy your cargo if you try to clear the path ahead

[tidal pollen]

oh hell yeah

I love this

100% worth the all day trucking

[signal igloo]

i am not clear on this concept

[chrome meadow]

mechanical legs get stuck on crystals

I try to shoot crystals below me

[signal igloo]

ha shit

[chrome meadow]

destroyed a piece of specialist cargo, need to find one more now

[signal igloo]

i never shot below me - always out front

that sucks - but makes sense there is a hit bar

i got one to the recycler with a pixel of life left

as they junk slid back n forth in the bed there were sparks

[knotty pasture]

i guess the trick is not to discover fauna until you do it from your exocraft .... i had discovered them all with my visor so now I cant complete the discover 2 fauna from exocraft

[signal igloo]

you can it will

it has for everyone else

[plain tusk]

Are you supposed to be able to build teleporters and bases in this expedition or is someone being a little tricksy?

[knotty pasture]

nope .. they are not red dots they are all green paws so cant discover them again

[sturdy zealot]

Grats

[signal igloo]

and once you turn in for nanites?

[noble linden]

I like the asymmetrical cabin

I assume the furnace ain't in the game yet?

[sturdy zealot]

If by "tricky" you mean "pain in the rear" , yeah its supposed to be that way. Its tedious for sure.

[chrome meadow]

i am

one mission away

[wide geyser]

Is there anyway to refuel the starship? I was flying it around and I can’t finish the expedition because I can’t refuel it

[noble linden]

Uranium

[signal igloo]

which fuel?

[chrome meadow]

I'll finish the expedition later, need to do the waypoint mission

[plain tusk]

So you can build a base? I haven't figured out how yet.

[wide geyser]

Like to refuel the launch thrusters it won’t let me refuel it

[noble linden]

You need trit?

[wide geyser]

I can’t leave the planet

[noble linden]

Uranium goes in

[signal igloo]

yjr bases are build after someone got the ship and came back to be trolly

[noble linden]

Do you need to repair something in your cargo?

[wide geyser]

It doesn’t work

I drag it over and nothing happends

[signal igloo]

your ship is damaged or empty?

if damaged only fix near the end of exped

[sturdy zealot]

First make sure multiplayer is turned off, then try like normal. But its designed so you don't leave the planet. You might have been fooled by putting items for retrieval in the anomoly.

[wide geyser]

I think mine was glitched because I was able to summon it like during the expedition…

And I was flying around with it

[signal igloo]

so the fuel will not accept because it disallows refitting the ship during

ahh i seeee

[short zenith]

did this occur in the last milestone? my understanding is the ship eventually unlocks repaired when you are close to completing the exp

[rugged herald]

Hey, now that i have completed the expedition, how do I unlock the flatbed Module in my normal save file?

[wide geyser]

Well I was halfway through it the first day and couldn’t summon it, the next day it said I could summon it and I did

[fiery prism]

Wow guys this expedition is hot trash bug dashboarding every few mins make this thing unplayable someone need fired for this mess. This thing is more stress than fun

[signal igloo]

you prolly need to buy it at the QS guy

[sturdy zealot]

In the anomaly

[signal igloo]

i say buy - i mean redeem

[rugged herald]

Ill have a look. Also, how do I find planets with Waste plants?

[versed tree]

Now the helmet has an use

[rugged herald]

To dispose

[short zenith]

i was able to summon my ship between completing milestones 4 and 5; i'm not 100% sure where the summon threshold is

[wide geyser]

Yeah so I’m just a sitting duck… I ca maybe wait for those traders to visit me and take their ship but like idk what else to do

[sturdy zealot]

You need to find a waste site to find it.

[rugged herald]

How do I find a waste site? How will I know what planet has them?

[gentle coral]

oh seems my geology scanning part is also bugged

[signal igloo]

its a day old maybe we find out later i am not done

[wide geyser]

Well I haven’t gone back to my ship before completing the entire thing problem is that I flew it and landed it awhile back and it’s like 2 hrs away 😬

[sturdy zealot]

Have you looked at the customization screen at your colossus summoning platform? People have had results doing that.

[royal ether]

Are you on xbox? I am & am having similar issues... I have turned graphics down to 1440. Was a little better but still happening. Now gonna go down to 1080 & see what that's like...

[crude notch]

It's not better lol

[signal igloo]

i used the truck scanner

what is all planets suddenly had scrap tons

[chilly kayak]

Anything worth taking with you on this expedition? Can you even take Anything with you on this one?

[cerulean apex]

Since you need to access the space station to get your stuff... no.

[sturdy zealot]

No! You can't retrieve it.

[sturdy zealot]

Having that option available was the first sign the Hello was lazy in making this Expedition.

[chilly kayak]

Do you get to keep anything at the end of this one if you never leave the planet

[rugged herald]

Yeah and for some reason flatbed is locked

[sturdy zealot]

Have you checked you quest log?

[cerulean apex]

To be fair, "you can't access your ship" is probably not something they expected to do before. And I doubt it's something they're doing very often after this.

So, it's probably not worth the effort to remove the option to transfer stuff because of that.

[dim delta]

take a guess on how long did it take for anything to fall off the flatbed

[cerulean apex]

Negative three seconds.

[sturdy zealot]

No they should have. How long would it really take? People put stuff in wondering "what cool new game mechanic will let me get my stuff?"

[sturdy zealot]

😂

[lofty phoenix]

have anyone to that waypoints dont count in the wasyponit quest?

[cerulean apex]

That's a question we don't know the answer to.

For all we know, "adding stuff to expeditions" is a hardcoded functionality because they never expected to make an expedition where you can't access it.

If that's the case, that would literally require recoding expeditions as a whole to change it.

Which, for a one-off gimmick, isn't a reasonable thing to expect them to do.

[limber dew]

About to start the expedition, long term player but first ever expedition (surprisingly), what is crucial to bring for the tech and cargo?

[lofty phoenix]

the quest in phase 3 with teh waypoints is it bug or why dotn count teh wayponts i collect

[cerulean apex]

Nothing, you won't be able to access it.

[wide geyser]

Yeah what worked for me was turning off multiplayer, and then when I found a way point going back to main menu, booting back up and scanning the area with the truck

[signal igloo]

go to any POI, and spin the save tower- try all the kinds from your exo scanner... drop pod - secure building - empty building- all of them... distress signal

[misty kite]

btw are the catarpiller legs really just cosmetics and dont effect anything

[fiery prism]

Yea mine is down to 7 sumthin Im on xbox tried on pc lag was so bad couldnt move got on xb and get dashboarded every few min almost ready to uninstall

[misty kite]

its bugged

[dim delta]

close, like 3 seconds actually

[lofty phoenix]

i always paly singelplayer ...

[lofty phoenix]

i finde them but thye dont count for teh quest

[cobalt bear]

Ship unlocks when you reach the final dump site, regardless of other milestones completed.

Unfortunately...

You're still stuck with the dinky, largely broken, largely barren starter ship thats been inaccessible up until now.

[tepid grove]

So far I am not liking this expedition
Like at all

[cobalt bear]

you can go to the space anomally, but buying new ships is prohibited.

[tepid grove]

what about crashed ships

[cobalt bear]

nothing

in regular expeditions

you can access whatever you brought when you reach the space anomally

in this expedition

[tepid grove]

Cant bring anything

[cobalt bear]

you reach the space anomally after completing the whole thing.

[sturdy zealot]

You can't even buy ships from alien merchants.

[cobalt bear]

so.

[cobalt bear]

the same, i imagine.

claiming expedition reward ships is a no-go

[tepid grove]

A tip I do have
Take it slowly with cargo when you know there's a bump coming

[signal igloo]

no claim no trade

[cobalt bear]

also

the spider leg option from chapter 4

it increases your stability to

[tepid grove]

it does?

[cobalt bear]

"holy shit this should have been the default the entire time"

and you can drive at full speed and only have a chance to loose cargo when you ramp off something too hard

unfortunately

[tepid grove]

With the normal tires and treads you could be going at a snails pace, nudge a bump, and a cargo flies to the damn moon

[cobalt bear]

di-hydrogen crystals become your enemy

your truck will get hard stuck on the things

[tepid grove]

Just mine the h2 crystals

[wide geyser]

Try scanning them with the truck seemed to work with me

[cobalt bear]

or go around them, yeah

[torn ermine]

AMEN. The people who say "choose your path carefully" must be on a different planet. 🙂

[cobalt bear]

but its kind of comedic how its like

hitting a brick wall

and struggling to back up

the contents of the update: underwhelming but inoffensive enough. its a 'sure, thats neat i guess' type mini update

the contents of the expedition? negative three out of ten.

[sturdy zealot]

As someone who owns a pickup truck and a Flat bed trailer in real life, and has hauled all sorts of objects over rough terrain in real life, the ease and frequency that things fall off the colossus flatbed is ridiculous.

[cobalt bear]

the entire game is about flying around the skies and space and between planets, and this update makes it extremely clear that the game is not designed for you to drive around on foot for long

[tepid grove]

It does help to follow that advice
But the cargo should not be lighter than paper

[cobalt bear]

unfortunately thats the point

[sturdy zealot]

They really need to patch in some ratchet straps.

[cobalt bear]

the entire purpose of the update is like

"hey, look! we added a gravity gun, guys!"

[torn ermine]

well, it IS, but it's just not designed for you to drive around planetside carrying a flatbed full of toxic, explosive, radioactive waste.

[cobalt bear]

"look at our wacky physics"

and then the expedition is about fighting the wacky physics that they are so eager to show off to you

more eager, in fact, then they are concerned about this being fun

[tepid grove]

So far of all the expeditions ive done
this is the worst

imo

[cobalt bear]

are you okay, sean
are you being held at gunpoint by shareholders who will execute you if you don't show off novelty tech demos in your game

[outer lotus]

I enjoy driving on planets anyway. This will give me something else to do.

[cobalt bear]

yeah, we'll see

you have to drive half speed at most

for 15-20 minutes

like. a minimum of five times in a row

[torn ermine]

Having a gravity coil that lets me grab a sentinel and fling it against a wall over and over and OVER and OVER AND OVER AND OVER is strangely satisfying.

[cobalt bear]

gonna be real with you chat

if the default stability of the truck tires was the kind you get from the spider legs?

this expedition is instantly like 60% better

[outer lotus]

Now it just needs to do damage. And launching stuff at them should do damage too.

[leaden path]

Can someone help me with something??

[torn ermine]

Dev, we get it, you don't like the new expac. Go ask HG for a refund already.

[sturdy zealot]

The content of the update is sorta fine, but I'm unimpressed with the Expedition. And I've played NMS since the first day it launched.

[cobalt bear]

with the spider legs, you only lose cargo when you actively fuck up, not when you're, like, just driving normally

which is how it should work

not being punished for daring to drive at normal speed

[outer lotus]

Watcha need?

[cobalt bear]

your ad hominem is recognized.

[leaden path]

Idk what to do for this part

[signal igloo]

Freeee. expac

[limber dew]

Nvm turns out every time I try to start it (Xbox series s) the game crashes, no expedition for me aye

[cerulean apex]

The save beacons at each PoI

[cobalt bear]

You know the little tower shaped things that let you save?

Found around POIs?

Save at those.

[atomic estuary]

All of them work if you drive normally

[leaden path]

Ohhhh

[atomic estuary]

Instead of pedal to the metal on uneven terrain full of bumps

[leaden path]

Tysm gng

[torn ermine]

you do know that HG has a helpdesk where you can take all these to them? They likely don't read this chat.

[signal igloo]

lol the exped is tuff and different. i can't wait to get back home to get more done

[leaden path]

Is it around specific poi??

[cerulean apex]

No, no, you're all thinking too small.

You're thinking too goddamn small.

What we actually need is a Colossus-sized Terrain Manipulator that lets us make our own, flat roads. And paths through mountains.

[unkempt rover]

i got an example of dont do petal to metal

[cobalt bear]

Any given POI.

[atomic estuary]

Just look ahead and take it slower, when you see that your cargo is swaying slow down, when going down hill let go of acceleration

[cobalt bear]

there's one at every dump site, for example.

[cerulean apex]

Alien Monoliths don't have them, but otherwise most of them do.

[unkempt rover]

dont do what this guy did

[leaden path]

So what do I search for?

[signal igloo]

105kmphh

[vernal silo]

not all of them work ive used 8 of them but the step says im only 3/6 🙃

[cerulean apex]

Drop pods, waste dumps, abandoned buildings, habited buildings.

[signal igloo]

even supply depots

hmmm freee stufffs

[atomic estuary]

I think that's a bug and not how it should work.

Multiplayer bug to be speicifc

[unkempt rover]

sometimes some buildings dont work, dont worry, roadsigns is not broken

[vernal silo]

i see

[unkempt rover]

its really tedious and inconsistent

[atomic estuary]

I did expedition on Day one with multiplayer disabled from the start and everything went smoothly except for almost softlocking myself with scanning 2 creatures from the exocraft

[signal igloo]

just keep swimmin

was it 1750 nanites?

[unkempt rover]

same actually, how you doin Bjorn, you got lead mod now?

[outer lotus]

Same. I looked at the quests first so I saved a couple animals for that step.

[atomic estuary]

one milestone requires you to scan them all, another to scan 2 from exocraft, if you scanned them all before getting cyclops thingy you are cooked

[unkempt rover]

you can upload them in the discovery tab, it fixed it for me

[lunar nest]

if i unlock something in one save on the expidition, is it unlocked on all saves?

[outer lotus]

Yes

[atomic estuary]

It's been a while, lead mod indeed

[cerulean apex]

How do you mean? When you complete them all?

[unkempt rover]

congrats then! :D

[atomic estuary]

I realised the possibility of soft lock when I got to 5/6 so I left it at that and scanning only one completed the milestone for me

[unkempt rover]

well when i scanned all creatures, it went back down the zero as if i didn't scan anything, tried askin for help, got no dice so i just experimented and uploading them worked

[atomic estuary]

Oh that's not what I mean

You are meant to register them in Discoveries page

It's not a bug that you fixed, you are supposed to do that

[signal igloo]

that is when your milestone completes

[unkempt rover]

then thats misleading, cause it was counting up

[atomic estuary]

Soft lock I mean is when you scanned all creatures using your visor, bc there is one where you need to specifically do it from exocraft using tech you get later

[primal rock]

Yeah, I’m giving up on this expedition. It’s taking way too long to find and collect specialized waste.

[signal igloo]

the two from truck bjorns means

its a shame so many droppin out

[short zenith]

i'm glad i read the comments here before starting the exp on Day One, otherwise i may have soflocked myself as well

[primal rock]

Having no ships blows

[unkempt rover]

there is minimal rewards compared to the amount of grind

[signal igloo]

its not 'easy' in the nms sense - it's like when the big inventory overhaul hit we all lost our 500k damage ships

[atomic estuary]

Yeah, but when you scan the last one you actually get a prompt telling you to register them. If you select the milestone and exit the menu you would be told to do that in the right bottom corner

[signal igloo]

its a space game damnmit

[rugged herald]

Basically, i am no longer in the expedition and I am in my normal save mode. I am following the mission to get the flatbed and I am putting waste in the furnace but it isn't unlocking the flatbed at all. My quest tells me to install the flatbed but it is still locked. Why?

[unkempt rover]

though i much enjoy the overhaul of the colossus

[atomic estuary]

That's what I did

[unkempt rover]

never told me sadly

[signal igloo]

did you try at the QS bot?

<guessing here

[rugged herald]

Yes, nothing there

[signal igloo]

hmm seems like it woulda been

[rugged herald]

I checked. He doesn't have it.

[signal igloo]

yeah i believe

[rugged herald]

I checked and he doesn't

[signal igloo]

i believe you - i need to finish later today

[cerulean apex]

Any advice for finding the rare "mostly nocturnal" fauna?

[signal igloo]

is it ground?

[cerulean apex]

That one, yeah

[rugged herald]

I don't understand why the flatbed is still locked

[signal igloo]

i didn't bother for a lil while and close to stage 4 i tried random in low overgrown area near a cave

[sturdy zealot]

They could not have designed a worse planet for this expedition, lol

[signal igloo]

i noticed all the terrrains were whoop'di'dos

[sturdy zealot]

Holes, dropouts, there is no good route, just the least bad route.

[solid knot]

I love how you can't see shit with the Colossus at night still. This hole right in front of me is an illusion, right?

[short zenith]

it seems very deliberate putting the exp on this planet

[rain stream]

Anyone find my discoveries on the paradise planet yet? Lol

[remote thunder]

and done

[signal igloo]

wana run it again BK?

[severe rivet]

Is it better to do a new save?

[signal igloo]

that is a personal call. orang3

itt ran fine from my regular save

running

i have a milestone to complate tonight

[remote thunder]

Hello Games, even if you're not seeing this, i just want to say that I had a great time chilling, arranging my loot on the flatbed with care, being extra careful downhill, looking for the smoothest trajectory when possible and going rockcrawler/trial on them mountains, honking at fauna to get out of the way. It'd be nice to have some stronger headlights though 🙂 ❤️

[signal igloo]

any headlights

[severe rivet]

@signal igloo thank you

[shut ridge]

And for the legs to not get stuck on resources

[remote thunder]

i most likely will, even if just the redux - but i'll probably do another run on this closer to exp end

[remote thunder]

currently on steam experimental branch:

Fixed an issue that could cause the Colossus Exocraft mechanical legs to get caught on obstacles.

[signal igloo]

you have ran challenges then? it felt like that to me

no ship PD outlaw run

[remote thunder]

😄

[brisk knot]

save and reload

its bugged

[remote thunder]

if you played exp3 😉 you know what's up

[misty kite]

welp, i have finished everything, time to wait for the waypoint fix

[signal igloo]

cartagraphers hmm the repairs were terrible

i can't remember much else

you were taught READ the TIP on the HUD

hard lesson - taught stick no carrot

[sturdy zealot]

Are we playing an early beta test for LNF with this expedition, it feels like it.

[sturdy zealot]

That sucks, I'm in the same spot.

[signal igloo]

oh just this one? hehehe

[signal igloo]

move around add slots to you suit

[native veldt]

What milestone must I do to unlock the wide screen cabin

And what milestone must I do to unlock the furnace bed?

[signal igloo]

spin the deallie at the drop pod

[sturdy zealot]

Thanks I'll try that

[signal igloo]

those are waypoint

it will catch up

[hexed badger]

How do I know which of the special items is toxic for the expedition mission

[signal igloo]

the biohaz symbbol

[halcyon hedge]

Umm guys, I went to interact with my colossus and now im in a black void able to interact with my ship, interacting allows me to see planets discovered by Hello Games and I cant reload autosave or restore point to fix it . . .

[native veldt]

Anyone know how to unlock the wide screen cabin and the furnace thanks

[tender tusk]

alt tab out of the game and force it closed and try reloading

[cedar flower]

Any tips on finding my darn spaceship?

[halcyon hedge]

Okay well Im in space not in a black void, in a ship that shouldnt be able to fly

[noble linden]

I completed th event but I'm still not able to build a base

[halcyon hedge]

You cant, unless youre me

[remote thunder]

dont bother doing those in expedition, do them in your main save

[remote thunder]

need to complete and claim all milestones, phase and final

[lunar obsidian]

What am I missing?

[signal igloo]

i think one happened on exped not on purpose tho

[inner flume]

where do i find the paraffinium for the colossus? the planet doesnt have it

[gentle coral]

same bug for me

[remote thunder]

check the tooltip lower right of the screen

[signal igloo]

you have a slot refiner use the combo

[cedar flower]

Craft ferrite dust with chromatic metal? Pretty sure that's it

[remote thunder]

there are 8 minerals on the planet - we can confirm

[inner flume]

ohhh yeah mb i forget thatsna thing

[halcyon hedge]

I am now 23 minutes away and game wont let me fuel my pulse drive

[lunar obsidian]

Oh no

[remote thunder]

pyrite+dust

[tender tusk]

Doesn't matter if something is that grievously wrong where you can't even operate the game normally and nothing is working your best bet is to shutdown the game and reload it

[remote thunder]

why not?

[cedar flower]

My bad yea that's it

[signal igloo]

shouldnt be in a ship you need fuel jockeys?

[lunar obsidian]

I have been riding around for 2 hours and can't find the 8th mineral

[remote thunder]

to be honest with you, i didn't even look hard. i just went about the other milestones, and from time to time, used visor to look for ???

[noble linden]

Is this real

[remote thunder]

be sure to look in spots like this @lunar obsidian

[remote thunder]

yep. i made that infographic actually.

[halcyon hedge]

Autosave AND restore point are in the black void, shutting down game has put me in space int he ship we arent supposed to access

[lunar obsidian]

Do you have the discovery page for me, so I know what to look for

[sterile pulsar]

finished the expedition

[noble linden]

Sank yu

[remote thunder]

let me logon again

[severe widget]

Has anyone else been having issues with the roadsigns mission for waypoints?

[lunar obsidian]

thank you

[sterile pulsar]

Skip that one and do the rest first. Then you unlock the spaceship and fly to search

Thats how i did it

[severe widget]

bet, i just keep finding some but its not registering

[sterile pulsar]

bc you need to find undiscovered ones

[signal igloo]

that wrapped for me between 3-4 i was stopping at all the pois getting suit slots

blowing up depots

raiding abandoned warehouses

just playing the game

waypoint complete, new reward .... etc

[restive ivy]

I REALLY wish this harvested the crystals

[severe widget]

i just do keep finding undiscovered ones but it just isnt giving it me but i coul ddo some depots

[signal igloo]

even chased down a drone tower

no one is playing the normal POis go there

[gentle coral]

doesnt this give you the feeling from command and conquer mineral extractors?

[sterile pulsar]

yea that would prob fix the spiders legs getting stuck on them :D

[signal igloo]

it does

[restive ivy]

I also feel lik it doesn't give enough resources but that might just be me

[remote thunder]

sorry, my discoveries list is bugged for some reason: i see 6 minerals on the list - in any case, i believe you're missing this one

[signal igloo]

if I had one wish, it would be real control with 1st person in the truck

[lunar obsidian]

that is the one I am missing, thanks this will help a lot

[restive ivy]

trueee

[lunar obsidian]

I instantly found it lol, awesome

[signal igloo]

i love 1st person in vehicles but the control is bad bad

[gentle coral]

I got 7 discovered but no milestone unlocked

[remote thunder]

minerals milestone needs 8

IJsbeertje had 7 already, they're were just looking for the 8th - but yeah, for some reason my discoveries list bugged out, maybe when i finished+converted to normal

[signal igloo]

i get the feeling the ship will take you to the anomaly - to end the event - but not much else- like we aren't going to hang out in the finished expedition

[halcyon hedge]

Lads I hae my ship in the expedition now

[remote thunder]

be sure to have mp disabled, save+return to main menu+reload save if you had it enabled, make sure to have the right milestone selected, if needed try to upload waypoint discovery. if still not working, wait for the next public patch, there's a fix for this on steam experimental branch atm

[severe widget]

bet

which ones od i need to do to get the ship? i just couldnt see it in the rewards anywhere

[signal igloo]

i walked into mine at some point and just left the materials to fix in in the cargo. idk when it will allow

its chaos all broke up

[severe widget]

i just have not been able to find it to fix it lol

was no where near where i spawned

[signal igloo]

it was near 4 rv

i think

like i left the heap and there is was heading to the recycler

[woven shadow]

I finished the expedition! Now I have to hotrod my Colossus on my main save

[hexed badger]

How do I unlock the other customizations for my colossus

[chilly kayak]

It would be great if this game would stop crashing on me

[tranquil spade]

Anyone know when the expedition releases on Xbox?

[chilly kayak]

Doing it on xbox now

Trying to at least. Keeps crashing

[languid jacinth]

Keeps crashing non stop for me

[tender tusk]

Turn OFF MULTIPLAYER

[languid jacinth]

Like every 3 minutes

So i can't play with friends this sucks

[chilly kayak]

Already turned off multiplayer

[onyx quartz]

I am not a trash collector and this is terrible. If my beautiful base is riddled with garbage I swear I will never play NMS again!

Should I stop the expedition or once you start it your normal game will have trash everywhere too?

[tender tusk]

then sorry to hear it's still crashing if you have the time use this command !hg to fill out a bug report directly on HelloGames Site and see if they can release a bug fix soon

[onyx quartz]

God I hope not

[woven shadow]

I’m in my main save and I don’t have the flatbed customization?

[gaunt ridge]

oh great, not only did all my waste vanish into thin air, SO DID MY FUCKING COLOSSUS

please for the love of god tell me theres a way to exit this absolute hell of an expedition

[onyx quartz]

Turn off multiplayer

[onyx quartz]

You can go to Option and go to Return to main save

[gaunt ridge]

this is by far the worst expedition yet, and its not even close

[native igloo]

So much crashing, omg

[onyx quartz]

I was so hoping for new build options for bases and we get...trash collection.

I am so sad!

[noble linden]

Where can I find the total numbers for waste processed?

[signal igloo]

i called it ROAD work! vest...

good question maybe somewhere in discoveries?

i would look there first

i don't go there often .. but

[onyx quartz]

In phase 5 under the option

[gaunt ridge]

this update better be a part of a much larger update

[woven shadow]

Why can’t I put a flatbed on my Colossus in my main save? 😢

[gaunt ridge]

because alone, this update is the most underwhelming and badly executed one yet

[cerulean apex]

Alright, found the last critter. Can confirm that getting that auto-completes the Scan 2 critters milestone as well.

[noble linden]

I've completed the expedition I wanna know if I've recycled 200 pieces of waste in furnace

[dapper depot]

is there a way to go to the space anomaly once im done with the expedition because i want to send some things back

[somber owl]

so im done with the expedition, now im loking for planets that i can do the scrap stuff wit. what tags dop the planets with scrap have?

[sturdy zealot]

I'm sorry. This Expedition really sucks. Its just poorly done. I've played since launch and I haven't seen such crappy work since that time. Do better Hello Games.

[somber owl]

man im really fat-fingering the keyboard today

[somber owl]

yes, you get to call a ship

[median frost]

Hey, are any other Xbox players still not able to do the expedition? Or is there something wrong on my end?

[somber owl]

im on xbox app for pc and worked fine for me. Have you checked the download section on xbox? you might need to manually press update

[median frost]

Hmm. Maybe. Unusual.

[somber owl]

i had to do that

[naive prism]

this might be my first expedition i rage quit lol

[elfin badger]

Same it's genuinely awful

[naive prism]

Sean knew exactly what he was doing lol

[crystal fog]

The constant crashing is abysmal

[elfin badger]

I just did a 20 minute drive to finish the last of the waste collection it crashed and all disappeared

[somber owl]

how do i find planet that contains scrap like in the expedition tho?

[wraith venture]

Painful. Which platform are you on?

[crystal fog]

Xbox

[wraith venture]

One or Series X console?

[crystal fog]

Series x

[woven bridge]

i've been running around on this planet for about 3 hours how do i get 3 magnetic resonators the catalogue says 40 magnetic feriite and 40 ionised cobalt but i can't make them

[dim delta]

Big spider

[chrome root]

Sooo F*gin lag after 14.3Gt updade... 🤬🤬🤬🤬

[elfin badger]

Refine cobalt and then refine ferrite dust to pure and then pure to magnetized

[somber owl]

you should have gotten a refiner in your exosuit

[elfin badger]

I give up with this expedition honestly the waypoint stuff doesn't even work

[crystal fog]

My advice save beacon like a person made of paper in a water plant

[woven bridge]

omg i'm an idiot i know what i've done

[lunar obsidian]

7 discovered but mission says 3/6 🤔

[dim delta]

is there trash in every planet? I already got access to the ship and I would prefer to look for toxic waste in a flatter planet

[wraith venture]

Still having issues? When you try to start a new expedition save in this window, what does it show? Coming soon?

[north crypt]

Alright, I finished the expedition, and I gotta say that I kinda enjoyed it? Idk it was fun to take a break from the spaceship and just drive.

[woven bridge]

nope i thought i didn't make the magnetised ferite but i do have it. the problem i have in my screenshot i am an idiot 😳

[somber owl]

same, its something to do

[median frost]

My brother is on the Xbox rn, but last I checked (this morning), it said that.

[naive prism]

can the special ones also be found outside waste heaps?

[somber owl]

yes

[north crypt]

I see a lot of people complaining about it, but I really liked the difficulty. This is the first actually "challenging" thing since permadeath. No handholding and gameplay that is more than just yassified sandbox is very refreshing.

[median frost]

Something like "coming soon" or "no expedition," I mean.

[chrome gust]

Did the bug fix update fix the road signs mission?

[graceful pulsar]

Is chart waypoint genuinly broken

Im stuck at 4/6

[chrome root]

My game crashed 5 times after update🤬🤬

[languid sundial]

This is probably a stupid question but where can I find all the minerals I need to analyze

I have 6/8 rn

[graceful pulsar]

The last 2 are liekly the ones in caves or dried riverbeds

[outer lotus]

Planets that have salvagable scrap now also have junk

[somber owl]

yeah true, i actually had to make an effort to not lose my stuff, plus, its free update from a game i paid once for, im not gonna complain lol.- I love free content, no matter how little it is

[languid sundial]

I have the ones in the caves

[shrewd onyx]

It does. Pick a direction (away from the rendezvous points) and keep going: look for drop pods, abandoned buildings etc. via the radar. Sooner or later, you should get six.

(I left it until the only others which I had to do were the ones for each type of waste.)

[wraith venture]

Oh. This is around when the update rolled out (or when we announced it): <t:1770988378> #nms-news-ticker message Maybe check to confirm it's showing the right version?

[woeful osprey]

hai george!

[median frost]

Ohhhhh. I went to bed like, right before it rolled out.

[elfin badger]

I'll give it ago I'm stuck on a loading screen again from the 90th crash 😭

[woeful osprey]

i've said hai to george three times by now XD

[graceful pulsar]

Thing is even ones far from rendezvous it will sometime nto count at all

Ive been stuck on 4/6 for 4 hours after grabbing 7 uncharted

[wraith venture]

The red loading circle on Xbox? Or a different loading screen?

[elfin badger]

The red circle yeah

[shrewd onyx]

Buggy drivers? Unstable hardware?

[woeful osprey]

the red circle and normal loading screens mean different things?

[graceful pulsar]

I have 7 navigation data from getting these uncharted waypoiunts

Yet 4/6 waypoints

Game make this make sense ;^;

[daring heath]

It is such a nightmare just trying to find somewhere to place my colossus lmao

[shrewd onyx]

Yes… it's not waypoints which you've discovered – it's waypoints which nobody's discovered.

[wraith venture]

Wanted to confirm which "loading screen" Sometimes people may be referring to the game loading like the galaxy animation before your save finishes loading

[nimble hinge]

So, what do I do if I accidentally auto sell the special salvage from the first waste heap and cant find more for the final point of phase one?

[daring heath]

Haven’t gotten a single area where I have build permission yet!

[graceful pulsar]

I have multiplayer fully disabled, and have gone to some that others have discovered and those still counted

[woeful osprey]

ohhh thats what ya mean

[shrewd onyx]

Look around. There's probably some in the piles scattered around the landscape.

[nimble hinge]

been trying that but all I find is normal scrap

[muted mortar]

The first thing I did on the expedition was jump straight in to the radiation vat. Turns out, ||yes it does damage||

[median frost]

Lmao

[graceful pulsar]

I immedaitly jumped into the fire one

[shrewd onyx]

Who didn't?

[graceful pulsar]

Probably the people who grabbed every waypoint with in an hour out from the exipidition

[lunar obsidian]

it can happen, but it's pretty rare

[muted mortar]

Just jumped in the fire one. That one does a LOT of damage

[elfin badger]

I'm on Xbox so I wouldn't know 😭

[brittle elbow]

The scrap depots respawn

[nimble hinge]

yeah, feeling unfairly punished for messing up on a new mechanic, can't find any anywhere now when I had a whole bunch

[brittle elbow]

Not sure if it's time or distance/render based but they do respawn

[median frost]

Ooooh!

[brittle elbow]

I highly recommend you drop waypoints at them and leave the special scrap mission for last

[lunar obsidian]

I also feel unfairly punished by the god darn tiny pebbles that sends my waste into orbit

[brittle elbow]

Hauling scrap trying not to spill it 5 times in a row absolutely sucks

[nimble hinge]

it is the last point I have to do for phase 1

[elfin badger]

This expedition just feels like a really underwhelming death stranding

[graceful pulsar]

Now at 10 navigation data...and still 4/6....this is such a dumb objective

Im 40 minutes west of the primary waste disposal site

If it really wants me to find ones no ones found i think im screwed if 40 minutes out are all foudn already

[clever kelp]

Does anyone know how to complete this expedition mission? I’ve used the waypoints and stuff but it won’t count for it

[brittle elbow]

I mean the waypoint beacons, mark the depots and return for the scrap later

[sterile pulsar]

Skip it until you get the spaceship and then use the spaceship

[wraith venture]

I wonder... Maybe this article can help some players experiencing the red spinning load screen issue on Xbox: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/20347739760786-Can-t-load-in-to-game-stuck-on-red-spinning-load-screen-on-Xbox

[graceful pulsar]

Dont you only get the ship once all are complete?

[sterile pulsar]

nah i didnt have it completed, got the spaceship and then could do the waypoint quest

[somber owl]

yes think so

[native veldt]

I just finished the expedition my third ever, yesterday I was going to give up but I finished anyway so just goes to show you remember what Justin beiber says “never give up!”

[gleaming solar]

Roadsigns isn't working, anyone?

[graceful pulsar]

Everyone

[gleaming solar]

Fuck.

Oh well

[graceful pulsar]

Me and like 4 others are having it because apparently you need ones that no ones found

Aka good luck

[somber owl]

i thought he said "never say never"?

[lunar obsidian]

I think it's the waste heap waypoint in particular that don't count

[native veldt]

Dam your right lol

[graceful pulsar]

Ive been to multiple drop pods, depots and abandoned buildings that dont count

[elfin badger]

I'm also having that issue

All this pain is worth that heirloom set

[gleaming solar]

I've been driving around for at least an hour, several POIs found, none worky

[graceful pulsar]

Ive been at it for 4 hours

I got 4 yesterday that counted and today ive been to 10 and none counted

[elfin badger]

I don't understand why they'd make it one people haven't found knowing people are all in the same place

[graceful pulsar]

Make that 11 that havent counted

[gleaming solar]

Thank you, Sean. Very good expedition as usual

[gleaming solar]

To encourage people using side tools, aka NMS save editor

[graceful pulsar]

Ah yes "this isnt an mmo! places everyone on a giant singular world Find things no ones found! makes waypoints for waste depots and waste disposal units ONLY POINT TO LIKE 4" yes goog..good job

[lilac crane]

I started the expedition with multiplayer off and haven't had any issues so far

[lunar obsidian]

I love how my laser can blow up the stuff behind the laser :))))

really great for setting your own cargo ablaze

[median frost]

Ohhh. Oof.

[lilac crane]

Neat

[elfin badger]

I'm not too far till I'm finished now just 6 more objectives

[graceful pulsar]

SOMEHOW THIS DEPOT IVE BEEN TO..COUNTS????????

ok yeah not this is definitly NOT intentional

Something about roadsigns is horribly bugged

Oh and now im back down to 4

Yeah....bugged

[gleaming solar]

Or rather, overlooked... Horribly so

[raw shadow]

yeah if this is the first thing i see when joining here JUST to check if roadsigns is broken, then there is a problem

[elfin badger]

Hopefully they release a patch soon they've done amazing to recover the game from what it was 😭

[graceful pulsar]

This si the first objective out of the 4 expeditions iv done excluding the reduxes, where i genuinly think it needs to just be removed

[elfin badger]

It doesn't make any sense to be an objective unless we had a ship and not a 4 hour mountain drive

[raw shadow]

i've spent almost half my evening on just roadsigns. it been 3 hours soon

[graceful pulsar]

Ive been at this for now 4.2 hours

Just trying to get these last 2 waypoints

[elfin badger]

Ive still got 4 to find 🤦‍♂️

[raw shadow]

i've only gotten 1 to get activated

[humble geode]

built a little stone hut for myself in the middle of the expedition. Why? because the game tried to tell me I couldn't. FORGET those dumb restrictions! WE ARE TRAVELERS! We DEFY The Simulation!
MUAHAHAHHAA

[raw shadow]

and that was the waypoint at the waste procesing plant

[graceful pulsar]

Its reccomened not because you building stops player interactions in a large radius aroudn your base

[elfin badger]

Took ages to just place the colossus

[graceful pulsar]

I think thats where i got my first 3 to work

[humble geode]

it's not a registered base. No base computer available while the expedition is running! so it didn't claim the area. The game THINKS these are buildable technology objects because the glitch I leveraged to build that was a bait-and-switch with a restore point buildable.

it'll disappear probably as soon as i get out of render range anyway

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i challenged myself and proved i could.
[CISSION MOMPLETE]

-# like [FISSION MAILED] except victorious

[gentle coral]

lol I finally managed to finish roadsigns been traveling for hours, now my checkpoint 3 is 2h away from me xD

[raw shadow]

so i now got my second waypoint. it might have something to do with multiplayer

[humble geode]

it absolutely does, sadly.

gotta shut off multiplayer when doing expeditions, alas.

[chilly kayak]

Im getting pissed at how often this is crashing

[humble geode]

at least, if you want the expedition to work right more often >.>

[somber owl]

why have i not unlocked the flatbed after completing the expedition?

[azure glade]

What did you do for it to work? I can't place my colossus. Disabling multiplayer and relogging didn't help 🙁

[plain pike]

Expedition (basically) done

I’m just stuck on Roadsigns but all the other ones are done

[elfin badger]

I just kept walking til it let me

[lunar obsidian]

say 1 in 10 of the scrap piles have a special, 1 in 3 that one is going to be the one you need. 30 scrap piles to find 1, I need 7 of just toxic, 7x30 = 210 scrap piles 🥲

[dim delta]

special waste processed with the mounted furnace count towards the milestones?

[azure glade]

yeah ... I was hoping there might be a trick I did not think of 🙂 🙂

[shut fractal]

Im stuck on Roadsigns

Im about to jump off a cliff, I've been going to these dammed beacons and not a single one has counted! Is it because im in multi-player? Are there specific ones im supposed to find? Please help

[raw shadow]

Yeah. Roadsigns is making me soon just rage quit

[dim salmon]

I don't know why they aren't counted for you, but every single one I tried counted for me. I was playing offline.

[quiet gulch]

It’s a known issue, and even if you’re on singleplayer, it only counts ones that no one else has counted.
I went southeast towards a trade center, I managed to get them all in about 35-40 minutes

[noble linden]

I completed everything and 3/6 was my final task

[raw shadow]

"it only counts ones that no one else has counted."
Thats fucking stupid

[remote thunder]

be sure to have mp disabled, save+return to main menu+reload save if you had it enabled, make sure to have the right milestone selected, if needed try to upload waypoint discovery. if still not working, wait for the next public patch, there's a fix for this on steam experimental branch atm

[shut fractal]

Dear god wtf

[quiet gulch]

I literally just finished it lol
Now I’m trying to figure out how the heck I’m going to get on the anomaly so I can get all my goodies to my main save lol

[noble linden]

Someone made this graphic, but after expedition. How can I react my waste processes

Track*

[remote thunder]

complete and claim all milestones, dont have to claim the last final badge reward

[lunar obsidian]

I'm starting to think 1 in 10 is a bit generous, it's gonna take me hours to find 7 toxic

[remote thunder]

"how can you react"?

[noble linden]

Track

[remote thunder]

i'd say that waste heaps are a better bet

[remote thunder]

you'll have a mission to track progress

[raw shadow]

god damn it. i think im Hardlocked at this point. i cant find any more structures i havent been to within 2 hours of me

[crude bison]

How do I get all the chart waypoints for the road signs quest

[noble linden]

I don't see mission

[remote thunder]

get in your exocraft, use visor, drive circles around your current position, use visor to look for unknown building markers

[remote thunder]

if you're still in expedition, you wont see it

[raw shadow]

you think i havent?

[lunar obsidian]

Are the odds better there? I checked out two and found 0 special scrap

[dim delta]

are wheels/legs just cosmetic or they actually improve some stats?

[raw shadow]

fuck it. i rage quit. i'll wait untill theres a patch

[remote thunder]

waste heaps ime always have specialist loot

[graceful pulsar]

Finish phase 5 that does give you the ship

[noble linden]

Maybe I need to do ck everything in space anom

[graceful pulsar]

You can then go to other planets

[lunar obsidian]

The mission ones, not the ones outside the mission

[graceful pulsar]

Reminder that you dont need to complete phases in order

[brisk knot]

very late reply but i dont see where anyone else answered: after incinerating a piece of waste save and reload, the event isnt triggering until load for some people outside of the expedition.

[raw shadow]

i have been driving around for so long. that i have absolutely zero interest in the expedition for now

[graceful pulsar]

Fair

[lunar obsidian]

and i dont know how to get back to the mission ones, since scanning just takes you to a regular waste heap

[quiet gulch]

I am doing the expedition on my main save, I need to get back to the Anomaly to get back

[remote thunder]

i'm not following - 1) you can track heaps without a mission 2) road trip makes you go to heaps

[remote thunder]

like i said.. complete and claim all milestones and phase rewards - anomaly will unlock

[graceful pulsar]

The mission waste heaps are just normal heaps the only difference is the mission youre tacking if its a rendevouz mission just makes it a special marker

[quiet gulch]

but I can’t get to space, I’m trying to find my ship lol

[lunar obsidian]

There are two types of waste heaps. The one that get indicated with the yellow thing during the the last 2 missions of every phase, and the waste heaps you find while outside those missions

[graceful pulsar]

Read my message jsbeert

[brisk knot]

incinerate a piece of waste and then save and reload, the event to unlock the flatbad isnt triggering until load for some people

[atomic estuary]

I have some bad news for you

[lunar obsidian]

The heaps you go to during a mission always contain special scraps, the others do not

[remote thunder]

my friend... when you have colossus with radar installed, you can always can for heaps

[graceful pulsar]

In your exo, the final search thing

[remote thunder]

they do

[west shale]

did they really have to choose such a shitty starting planet

[graceful pulsar]

Thats a waste heap and they ALWAYS contain special

[west shale]

i LOVE hitting one rock and EVERYTHING FALLS DOWN THE FUCKING MOUNTAIN

THIS IS SO FUN!!!1

[remote thunder]

i'm pointing at the quick menu...

[graceful pulsar]

They contain both normal ans special scrap always

[remote thunder]

yes...

[quiet gulch]

Can they not be acquired? The icon showed up after I finished everything, I’m just having to make the 35 minute trip back to it and hope I can get off the planet lol

[graceful pulsar]

Shh i misremembered the name

[remote thunder]

that's what i'm saying to Ijs...

[lunar obsidian]

I literally found one without special scrap lol

two

[raw shadow]

this might be the most bugged expedition i've experienced since Leviathan. my game would just crash upon death.

[graceful pulsar]

And im agreeing bk

[shrewd onyx]

Hasn't crashed at all here. 🐧

[atomic estuary]

Oh, so you completed the expedition. Ignore my comment then.

With some luck you might have an NPC land and buy their ship

[raw shadow]

i dont mean this expedition. my game used to crash back when it was Expedition 7 (leviathan)

[native crater]

Why is there nowhere I can place my collosus spawner

[remote thunder]

once you complete and claim all milestones, ship marker should pop - it did for me.

[graceful pulsar]

I just summoned my ship

[quiet gulch]

Yeah, it’s just a very long trip back because of the Roadsigns quest

[brisk knot]

i actually found me ship relatively early in the expedition and didnt bother fixing it

[remote thunder]

wouldn't work - and yes, ship did spawn nearby

[graceful pulsar]

You cant repair it the gaem will auto repair once phase 5 is done

[remote thunder]

both on start, and later

it didn't auto repair anything for me

[quiet gulch]

OH WAIT I CAN JUST SUMMONED IT IM SO DUMB 😂

[remote thunder]

i had to repair both launch thruster and pulse engine

[graceful pulsar]

Odd it did for both me and my wife

[brisk knot]

oh i saw all the exp goals were literally tied to the colossus so i was like 'maybe later' lol

[remote thunder]

keep moving towards where there's no other base computer icons

that's happening because of other player bases nearby

also, disabling multiplayer will get rid of lots of other bases

[languid jacinth]

Im not finding the first rendesvous

Im using the scanner

[graceful pulsar]

Make sure its marked as your objective and then scan

[remote thunder]

i've seen some players say that certain combinations help make it more stable; e.g. tracked treads in the back; mechanical legs

[graceful pulsar]

Legs are "moire stable" but get stuck on crystals

[remote thunder]

you need to hop in exocraft, open quick menu, radar submenu, scan for waste heap

[graceful pulsar]

Tracks seem to be the best overall?

[remote thunder]

get stuck on crystals
fixed on steam experimental branch btw

[graceful pulsar]

Woo

[lofty storm]

Does turning multiplayer off help with the incessant crashing/freezing?

[remote thunder]

most likely

[native crater]

Thank you

[elfin badger]

Guys you can just complete everything else except the waypoinys and you'll get your ship and just fly to far away beacons I think that should work

[remote thunder]

i didn't get the ship marker until i completed every milestone - it didn't pop after i completed all checkpoint milestones for example

[elfin badger]

Once I completed road trip 5 I was given my ship

[remote thunder]

we even spawn next to it - relatively - but wont be able to fix anything on it

[leaden path]

Are the starships available to fly in this expedition??

[remote thunder]

road trip 5 is literally in the last phase.. and since you cant do roadtrip 5 before you do checkpoint 5 afaik..

[remote thunder]

only after completion

[leaden path]

Dang

I found a starship but when I got in it it wouldn’t let me land

[remote thunder]

forget ships

enjoy the "walk"

[leaden path]

It takes so long thoo 🙏

[remote thunder]

6 weeks left

[leaden path]

True tho

[noble linden]

I see industrial clean up mission on primary save, but not showing in expedition save

[remote thunder]

why would you need it in expedition

you dont

[worthy sluice]

i reached the first waste heap but checkpoint 1 did not complete

[remote thunder]

make sure you approach it well

double check completion screen

disable multiplayer if you still have it enabled

[crystal fog]

Wooo just lost two hours to a hole and a crash. If only i could leave the expedition and go back to the main save. I don’t even want the rewards anymore as the effort to get them made it feel less good after each crash

[worthy sluice]

do i have to go back to the processing plant first or

i mean

[remote thunder]

1. could do the expedition again later this year, the redux will have easier objectives probably
2. options menu, return to primary

[worthy sluice]

im drivin all aover it ive already gathered a bunch of trash from it

[tepid grove]

I'm almost done the expedition
My rating of it so far: Terrible

The physics are not good for the planet

[worthy sluice]

oh lmao

[tepid grove]

The coil thing barely works

[worthy sluice]

i just had to scan for it again

[remote thunder]

look at the tooltip lower right of the screen - what does it want you to do

that's what you need to look at

[crystal fog]

1 definitely not
2 got an error so I ended up starting on my main because it wouldn’t let me make a separate save

[worthy sluice]

triggered it immediately

[crystal fog]

I literally have to finish it to go back T-T

[worthy sluice]

do i have to return to the same waste plant or does it not matter

[tepid grove]

is there a way I can make the milestones for the specific waste easier

[remote thunder]

you goto the one that's marked; if you find another before getting there it should work too

[tepid grove]

Okay will continuing to scan for waste heaps after doing the 5th rendezvous give new waste heaps

[remote thunder]

i did all other milestones first - hauled specialist waste around with me as i went about completing other milestones - when i got to checkpoint V, i did all road trip milestones in one hit basically, and the other 3

[tepid grove]

Basically what I did lol

[remote thunder]

yep

works

[tepid grove]

minus hitting the fifth rendezvous firs

will I get new waste heaps after the 5th rendezvous if I scan?

Okay the coil tool is much easier on controller than vr

[mental geyser]

Not in my experience. It gave me one I had already picked clean.

[remote thunder]

you can get others, i did, but it might take a while because of distance

[mental geyser]

I’m going to go the other direction and scan again.

[light sun]

What do we get for completing the expedition?

[mental geyser]

I need 4 radioactive

[remote thunder]

see <#nms-expedition message>

[light sun]

Ah nice thanks

[chilly kayak]

How do you know which place to deposit which material

[remote thunder]

look at the types of waste - the icons

[tepid grove]

are the legs less susceptible to cargo loss

[remote thunder]

seems so, according to some players

[tepid grove]

a downside ive experienced
they dont get along with the hydrogen crystals

[low mirage]

Where do you get the flatbed in a standard save?

[remote thunder]

fixed on steam experimental branch

[remote thunder]

simply process 1 waste

[tepid grove]

im not on experimental

[remote thunder]

save+restart game if you already did expedition

[remote thunder]

then you can just wait for it to get to public

[gentle coral]

just messed everything, instead of dumpinb and handing the stuff myself I just used that auto scrapper and all my trip here was without use

[tepid grove]

it is managable

[west forum]

Well... tried to cut a path through a hill and it just deleted a whole chunk of the landscape 🙂

[tepid grove]

I did figure out how to unstick myself

why cant i see attatchments

[solemn bane]

I can't brain this

[remote thunder]

truly lostr major

[worthy sluice]

"gee, i sure hope i can transport this hazardous waste safely!"
the nefarious terrain destroying bug:

[upbeat pivot]

can anyone help me? i'm stuck on the expedition, I still need 1 animal to complete Safari and Field Guide, and the last one is a bird that looks identified (green paw when scanning) but isn't identified in the menu, is there a way to maybe 'undiscover' something?

[remote thunder]

see <#nms-expedition message>, point 5

[worthy sluice]

just completed checkpoint one but still have a lot of specialist waste left over, do i take it with me?

[hazy sparrow]

Any significant bugs with this expedition? Should I wait for a patch before starting?

[remote thunder]

see road trip I, the next milestone

[dim delta]

I see

[remote thunder]

on steam experimental branch: https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/814724377262215877/

[solemn bane]

I was gonna say avoid it but I remember you like doing super tedious stuff, so you may love it 😆

[remote thunder]

keep multiplayer disabled fromt he start; i went start to finish, not a single bug

[worthy sluice]

sorry, completed ROAD TRIP 1, not checkpoint, mb 😅

🙏

all this trucking is getting to me

[hazy sparrow]

I always do expeditions with MP off, but thanks for the tip.

[remote thunder]

i hauled specialist waste around with me, to help complete the milestones that require processing 16 of toxic, radioactive and explosive each

[west forum]

"Fixed an issue that could cause the Exocraft Mining Laser to fail to consume fuel."

Oh, so thats a bug? Sad.

[tepid grove]

If I reboot my game, will I keep the cargo that is in my colossus

[remote thunder]

yes

[tepid grove]

Then imma reboot and switch to experimental till im done the expedition
(that was the reason I hadnt lol)

[remote thunder]

remember, do not leave experimental until public has caught up with it

[tepid grove]

Ok
How long would that be usually

[remote thunder]

unable to say

varies

[tepid grove]

How do I go to experimental

[remote thunder]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/814724377262215877/

[tepid grove]

It says experimental was last updated on Dec 31, 1969 🤣

[remote thunder]

lol

[solemn bane]

It was very experimental

[upbeat pivot]

thanks, trying right now 🙏

[cobalt bear]

I assume you can't throw special waste into the furnace chassis?

[dire reef]

I never thought I'd get angry at this game but sweet Jesus I've been exploring for 20 minutes and I can't place my GEOBAY what do I have to do

[cobalt bear]

I figured that was just a buff.

[remote thunder]

not sure, havent unlocked furnace yet, but i assume that we can - what we'll get in terms of rewards not sure

[cobalt bear]

let me know what happens when you do, i suppose

[dire reef]

Can someone help me please

[solemn bane]

Did you try reporting the base in the quick menu?

[lunar obsidian]

I'm new to expeditions, what exactly can I transfer to my own safe? I'm assuming my inventory + what I put in the starship? Everything left on the truck is gone? Do I keep the credits?

[sturdy zealot]

There are probably other bases around. Switch off multiplayer.

[solemn bane]

You can't access the transfered stuff in this expedition.

[dire reef]

Yes and it doesn't change

[remote thunder]

1. report bases via on foot quick menu/report to make them despawn from your game then save+reload
2. keep multiplayer disabled to reduce how many bases you see
3. go completely offline to prevent other player bases from spawning in your game

[dire reef]

Turning off MP doesn't disable other people bases

[sturdy zealot]

Hrrrm. Have all the required parts to build it?

[dire reef]

Yes, I'm gonna try bk201 method now

[lunar obsidian]

So nothing at all except the quicksilver?

[nimble hinge]

ok, so is Roadsigns bugged?

[azure glade]

Had the same problem. Switched off multiplayer and run around till I found a place. Took some time.

[spring crescent]

Can someone uber me to the rendevous using a ship? I'm 2 hours on foot from the rendevous after forgetting the name of a portal I went from (there was no portal from spacestation to other end)

[tepid grove]

okay so
I cannot get past the title screen on experimental
Would I be ok to switch back if I didnt load into a save

[sturdy zealot]

You can report any base you're near to disappear it.

[dire reef]

I guess it takes time to eventually register the fact that I can't place anything there

[remote thunder]

I cannot get past the title screen on experimental
why not, what happens?

[cerulean apex]

And Expedition done. Gotta say, aside from needing to run around to find one last piece of special junk, I didn't think it was that bad.

[tepid grove]

Game completely freezes

[sturdy zealot]

Perhaps. This expedition is super buggy.

[remote thunder]

sounds like some kind of issue on your end, loads fine here. that said, yes, you should be able to revert now with no problem

[solemn bane]

Oh sorry, you were talking about transfering to your primary save from the expedition save. I thought you were asking about the other way around. Assuming you started the expedition from an existing save, you can transfer any items in your inventory via the expedition terminal.

[nimble hinge]

like, I've hit several waypoint thingies but it still only says 1/6

[dire reef]

Where the computer for the base should be there's nothing but the icon is still there. Can't even report

[remote thunder]

dont bother finding a base comp - just report using on foot quick menu

[remote thunder]

be sure to have mp disabled, save+return to main menu+reload save if you had it enabled, make sure to have the right milestone selected, if needed try to upload waypoint discovery. if still not working, wait for the next public patch, there's a fix for this on steam experimental branch atm

[dire reef]

The base disappears but I still can't build

I turned off my connection

[lunar obsidian]

Yess I meant from the expedition after finishing to main save. Does it also transfer credits, that way I can sell what I don't have space for

[solemn bane]

It automatically converts your items to credits to send back

[lunar obsidian]

I see, thanks

[spring crescent]

help...?

[remote thunder]

move away again - use visor to find a direction where there's no other player base computer icons

[sturdy zealot]

You can try turning off multiplayer, but that didn't help me

[native veldt]

I finished my expedition I unlocked most of the stuff when I went to main save it all gone I can’t unlock it

[remote thunder]

be sure to have mp disabled, save+return to main menu+reload save if you had it enabled, make sure to have the right milestone selected, if needed try to upload waypoint discovery. if still not working, wait for the next public patch, there's a fix for this on steam experimental branch atm

[remote thunder]

"most of the stuff" - what stuff?

see image - this stuff?

[native veldt]

All the expidition unlocked

I lost it

[remote thunder]

phase and final rewards: goto anomaly quicksilver shop, collect expedition rewards, claim them

[dire reef]

I had to travel so much just for this

[native veldt]

I did

[dire reef]

This is insane

[remote thunder]

and what are you expecting to see?

[dire reef]

Thank you so much all of you

[native veldt]

But I don’t have the flatbed anymore

[remote thunder]

just save+restart game

[native veldt]

Thanks man you’re a hero

[remote thunder]

if still not there, simply process 1 waste and you'll have it

[sturdy zealot]

👍

[dusky pivot]

Do i need to go to the marked plant for road trip?

[cobalt bear]

its been bugged.

[dusky pivot]

Also how do i get furnace upgrade for the truck

[cobalt bear]

scrap 200 things.

[tepid grove]

Ill try again after a pc reboot and if it no work imma revert

[remote thunder]

nope

[cobalt bear]

re: this. is this by save or by account?

if you do this in a save do you have to re-do all these tasks to unlock stuff in future saves?

[remote thunder]

unlock is account wide

[cobalt bear]

excellent

[upbeat pivot]

so hum... @remote thunder sorry to bother again but, the solution you gave before did help with Safari, but I still can't register completion in the Discoveries tab... so Field Guide is still locked

i'm kinda lost

[dusky pivot]

Do wheels affect movement at all?

[cobalt bear]

Yes.

Different wheels have slightly different top speeds, but also different levels of stability when driving, as far as your bouncing cargo is concerned.

[dusky pivot]

What is best?

[cobalt bear]

The spider legs, pretty sure.

[dusky pivot]

Rn i have front treads

[remote thunder]

the solution you gave before did help with Safari,
so you logged on afterwards, started scanning stuff with cyclops scope, and when you got to the bird, it failed again to add it to the list?

[remote thunder]

rear treads seemed to help me

[dusky pivot]

Can i track how much waste ive salvaged?

[remote thunder]

in expedition? look at the milestones

[tender tusk]

I did safari on foot by scannign animals that way

[upbeat pivot]

actually after I did the process I instantly was rewarded with the completion of Safari

but then to finish field guide i need to register completion on discoveries tab but... the bird exists and doesnt exist at the same time

[plain pike]

I turned off multiplayer, exited the expedition and re-entered, even disconnected my computer’s WiFi - still not working

[dusky pivot]

Batman

[grim vortex]

I just finished "Field Guide" but the game says "Inventory Full" when I have many empty slots.

Is there a workaround?

[remote thunder]

i didnt have any issues with this milestone, played with multiplayer disabled the whole time. i'd suggest raising a bug report

[remote thunder]

you'll need a ton of free slots

lots of bones incoming

[grim vortex]

Whoa, thank you

[upbeat pivot]

yeah, I should just do that, thanks for the attention anyway, have a good weekend ❤️

[elfin badger]

Finally done the expedition glad that's over 😭

[plain pike]

I heard there was an issue where after finishing the expedition you can’t refuel your ship - that still a problem?

I’m trying to get around the road sign milestone bug and I’m not having any luck turning off multiplayer

[sturdy zealot]

Spider legs seem the most stable, less dropped cargo.

[remote thunder]

Fixed an issue in the Remnant expedition that could prevent waypoints to fail to count towards the Roadsigns milestone.
wait for the next public patch if you prefer

[grim vortex]

I can't craft a refiner, nor can I locate one. Is there one at the Waste Management Plant?

[plain pike]

Even with my wifi turned off the waypoints still aren’t counting

[dapper sparrow]

Just finished the expedition. How do I return to the anomaly without a ship? lol

[plain pike]

looks like I’m waiting until Monday to finish literally one objective- ughhh

[flat heron]

I think you start with a personal refiner mk2 yeah?

[grim vortex]

Well, I'm embarassed. Thank you. 🙂

[remote thunder]

do you have the right milestone selected? are the waypoints undiscovered?

must say "unknown sector" before you first interact

[plain pike]

yeah

[remote thunder]

did you restart game after going offline? what's the state of the connection to online discovery services?

[worthy sluice]

dawg where the HECK are the last 2 rocks

[remote thunder]

try places like

[worthy sluice]

alr

[remote thunder]

depends on what your last two rocks are tbh

[signal igloo]

We have to disconnect not? That’s sad

[plain pike]

Should I leave my computer wifi off?

[remote thunder]

i'm assuming you scanned the cave ones

[worthy sluice]

i got all of these

[remote thunder]

yes, so that it kills the connection to ods

[plain pike]

Haven’t restarted the game but I did try reloading my save

[solemn bane]

You could do that or use a firewall to block nms.exe from the internet

[worthy sluice]

found them

in the raviney grey areas

thanks bk 🙏

[remote thunder]

7+1

[signal igloo]

They are weird they work good. But cross and meander

[wraith junco]

Ship should work after completeing the expedition

[woven shadow]

I saw after installing the gravitino gun that I have a mission to test it on junk. So I figured I have to do that first

[chrome gust]

The expedition is done, I’m free…

[solemn bane]

Go, live your life, and never think of this day again.

[muted mortar]

Which trash bin does the red explosive barrel go in? I've done 2 trips now and put in the wrong one both times

[solemn bane]

The icons match. Far right

[plain pike]

Restarted game, found unknown sector beacon, still no credit

[chrome gust]

How do I make a base, I don’t have the base computer?

[plain pike]

looks like I’m gonna have to wait for the fix

[frozen bison]

yeah I'm still having issues with Roadsigns as well ;-;

I'm just gonna drive around a while and see if I can't get it done

[solemn bane]

You don't.

[lilac crane]

Thank you so much for posting this!

[elfin badger]

Anyone that's done the expedition feel a bit underwhelmed with the heirloom set?

[chrome gust]

Will I be able to transfer my exocraft?

[solemn bane]

I was happy it looked good on Gek. That's pretty rare

[wraith junco]

U can transfer the tech modules. Main expedition rewards are unłocked account wide

[frozen bison]

looks epic actually, now I'm gonna try and finish it faster to get that lol

[chrome gust]

I just want to transfer over the supreme engine upgrades.

[solemn bane]

Package them and send them to your primary save at the expedition terminal

[chrome gust]

Wish I could make a base so I can come back to the system later.
