[knotty tangle]

Are the heaps first come first serve or is the trash instanced for everybody?

[pine flame]

i think instanced for everybody

it would be a nightmare otherwise

[modest kestrel]

any tips for roadsigns milestone?

[knotty tangle]

I dont want to go to a processing facility and have people steal the stuff I brought...

[sharp bolt]

Before you get the last 5 of the 16 though I would make sure you hit up the quest to go to the 5th redevou point

Keep it in your truck, pull up to the side of each of the processor and use the push feature on your new multi tool

[sharp bolt]

They can't see your stuff if it's in your truck

I stand In the bed of the truck and Chuck them in from the bed

Lol did not think I would be doing a lot of answering stuff about the expedition

[severe tusk]

heelp, the milestones for Road Trip 1, it tells me to dump 5 special materials on the waste processing plant and process it

but after doing that, it didnt count

[sharp bolt]

Does it say specifically to process it thru there or could you by chance just dump it there and then use your multitool to put them in the right processors

[severe tusk]

it tells me to oprtate the plant control panel

[sharp bolt]

I only used the mass processor for the main junk

[golden apex]

Keep driving and scan for cargo pods and resource depots

[sharp bolt]

Pull the special junk out first before you process the normal waste

[pine flame]

tips to discover all of the 8 rocks we need to scan?

i'm at 5/8

[sharp bolt]

Go on top of those really big, tall pillar things and scan the rocks up there

[pine flame]

like to have more vision around me?

[sharp bolt]

Also go in the caves and holes

[pine flame]

are the 8 rocks close ?

[pine flame]

ah maybe thats where the missing ones are

[sharp bolt]

Caves only have a couple

[golden apex]

I'm on the phase where I have to kill sentinels. Can I just use my Colossus flame thrower to kill them?

[remote thunder]

sure i guess - personally i didn't have any issues with just plain boltcaster because of damage scaling

[median frost]

Just finished the Remnant expedition!

The frequent crashes have been quite troublesome though

That aside, had a nice time :3

[severe tusk]

and process the special ones in a separate place?

[sharp bolt]

Yes

[severe tusk]

I already wasted 15 special waste trying to figure this milestone haha

[median frost]

Definitely gonna be doing a lot of this new industrial salvaging in the main game.

[severe tusk]

alright

thanks

[sharp bolt]

Sure, any time

[frosty carbon]

how to complete road trip 1?

[median frost]

Probably wasn't the best idea to do it in one session lol 😅

[knotty tangle]

I was fortunate enough to be near metal fingers.

[golden apex]

I'm on the last phase

[sharp bolt]

Drive out about 20 minutes in a direction away from the main area and start using your satellite in your truck to scan for different things then go hit the save tower beacon

MI d you it seems a bit glitches and not always counting

[frosty carbon]

Where to off load industrial waste?

there no clear indication at location

[west forum]

Do you have to go back to the same waste processing station or can you scan for a closer one when you load up at a waste site?

[pallid dome]

Has anyone else on Xbox been experiencing an increase in their game crashing? I think my game has crashed close to 20 times now

[languid jacinth]

I am losing my mind

I turned off multi-player and I'm not playing with my buddies. Im still crashing every 3 minutes

[clever mist]

why did this objective just reset? i scanned all creatures...

[fierce robin]

Upload them

[clever mist]

omg i was about to rage 💀 tysm!

[ashen shore]

Hey the roadsigns quest is bugged for me, it won't count anything

Any helpful tips? Or do I just need to restart the expedition on a new save

[sharp bolt]

Go into Discoveries and click on the complete

[clever mist]

yeah, forgot you had to do that

thanks!

[frosty carbon]

wow I finally figured it out, without youtube help, lol

[remote thunder]

this worked for some players:

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

[ashen shore]

Oh sick :3 tysm

[remote thunder]

yeah, been reported by multiple players. try to change graphics settings from quality to performance, or vice versa. keep multiplayer disabled too.

[ashen shore]

Wait how do I upload a waypoint discovery, ive just been using them normally

[clever mist]

i dont have to deliver the waste to the waste facility where i started the exp. right?

ive had to do so much driving to complete this one objective that it would take me more than an hour to return to that initial location

[ashen shore]

Nope dont think so just scan for a waist disposal site and it should count (or atleast it did for me)

Expedition 21: Roadsigns milestone not registering

If interacting with a undiscovered waypoint isn't working, the steps below worked for some players:

1. Be sure to have mp disabled
2. Save+return to main menu, load save, make sure to have the right milestone selected, interact again. If needed try to upload waypoint discovery.

Note: If still not working, wait for the next public patch, there's a fix for this on steam experimental branch atm

[ashen shore]

Pog, thanks again ^^

[remote thunder]

no

what i did was i left all road trip milestones to checkpoint 5 but hauled specialist waste around till then

[nocturne oracle]

wait can someone explain what the roadsign milestone actually means?

like what do i actually have to do

[remote thunder]

many building types have waypoint interactable objects

these - use visor to keep an eye on nearby icons - sometimes you'll see unknown building icons

[frosty zodiac]

game needs a auto move feature

[fierce robin]

IT has

[frosty zodiac]

for exo craft?

[remote thunder]

@nocturne oracle for example, every waste processing plant will have 1

[fierce robin]

Idk

[nocturne oracle]

so which icon am i looking for when i use the visor

or do i just look for structures

[frosty zodiac]

how do you auto move?

[nocturne oracle]

like the purple icons with a dome in it

[remote thunder]

looks like a house - says unknown building

[clever mist]

do i need to keep these? i dont care much for them and they are easilyh obtainable on certain planets...

[remote thunder]

i claimed that milestone last, then sold i.e. dumped it all

[nocturne oracle]

these?

[remote thunder]

but thats already identified, which means that you may have been there already, unless you were able just now to directly aim visor at that building

[clever mist]

yeah i didnt realise it would dump so many lmao

[nocturne oracle]

k gotcha

thanks

[west forum]

I just claimed that and immediatly reloaded my save as to not have to deal with it

[frosty zodiac]

well i cant hold down a key for 30 minutes straight my arm is on fire

[remote thunder]

i didnt' really have to go out of my way to do this milestone, just kept my eyes peeled when going from checkpoint in checkpoint

[remote thunder]

hehe

[ashen shore]

Oh bk201 the waypoints also stopped giving nav data is that an issue? Or is it cause they were used by someone else already

[fierce robin]

I only know that there is one when Walking didnt Check for the exocrafts. Dont know which Button IT was either.

[frosty zodiac]

well they need to add one cause this road signs thing is bullshit

[remote thunder]

Or is it cause they were used by someone else already
because of this, yeah

[fierce robin]

You would still get stuck in holes though

[ashen shore]

Would that stop the roadmaps mission from working or is it completely unrelated

[frosty zodiac]

no problem i just respawn it

[remote thunder]

you need to be the first player interacting with one, and ofc, it will only count once - when you get up to it, it will say "uncharted sector" before interacting iirc

[fierce robin]

Just try all Buttons maybe one works

[plush apex]

So did anyone else have the problem where you couldn't place a geobay because there were bases all around the spawn? Because that feels like a pretty important oversight

[ashen shore]

So i have to drive really far to do this?

[frosty zodiac]

ya cause the distance seems overkill

[fierce robin]

Report the bases Turn MP Off and restart the exp

[dim salmon]

You can go to the nearest base that's in the way and report it to delete it.

[plush apex]

Seems a bit against the spirit of an expedition to turn multiplayer off but I guess I'll have to

[fierce robin]

You often need to do it

[remote thunder]

i didnt - i just went about doing the checkpoint milestones of each phase, and when i got to the end, i had them all

[dim salmon]

Sadly all expeditions seem to be more enjoyable in singleplayer. It only takes one prankster to block off important expedition objectives to make it annoying.

[fierce robin]

I would give you the advice to Always Turn IT Off before starting the exp

[remote thunder]

in short, the entire planet isnt covered with them, and uploaded bases have no building permissions for other players to prevent griefing

[frosty zodiac]

is there more then one processing station?

[ashen shore]

Huh neat ill see what works and let you know :3 tysm I very much so appreciate all the help

[remote thunder]

yes

[frosty zodiac]

thank god

i dont wana have to drive back

road signs sucks\

[remote thunder]

@nocturne oracle @frosty zodiac @plush apex going completely offline (i.e. internet off, or firewall block the game) will prevent both a) waypoints being already discovered by other players (shouldnt really be needed though) b) prevent game from connecting to server that serves uploaded bases, therefore preventing it from spawning more as you walk away from any that already got cached in your save file first time around

[nocturne oracle]

but this bug still exists for the milestone right? @remote thunder

if so ill just wait for the next patch to deal with this one

[remote thunder]

some players seem to be affected still, even if multiplayer is disabled, even if using those steps, yes.

[grim vortex]

Does "Auto-Collection" at the Waste Plant correctly sort the waste types into the approriate receivers? Or does that have to be done manually?

[remote thunder]

that has to be done manually

[native igloo]

Having trouble finding the last mineral

[marsh yarrow]

can i unlock the furnace hull in my own save or do i need to do it in the expedition

[frosty zodiac]

i found a rock to help me press W :d

[fierce robin]

You can do it in your own save

[remote thunder]

try looking in spots like these

[fierce robin]

Only spider legs are Expedition exclusive

[marsh yarrow]

i see

[remote thunder]

asymmetrical cabin and camouflage finish are too cc @marsh yarrow

[fierce robin]

My fault

[frosty carbon]

so what can we do if we already scanned all animals on planet?

[fierce robin]

Upload them

[remote thunder]

you're good, no worries, got your back

@frosty carbon image support: discoveries menu/planet/fauna view, hit that button for the zoology bonus nanite reward

[frosty carbon]

sry didn't add, what to do now to scan animals with colossus, if already scanned before

nvm got it sorted

[topaz tinsel]

Interesting that we have interstellar travel and teleportation but can't invent tiedown straps. 🤣

[native igloo]

Thank you

[golden forge]

Can i not keep the flatbed after the expedition?

[fierce robin]

You dont keep it but its easy to unlock

[grim vortex]

What are the expedition rewards?

[golden forge]

Oh then how

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message>

[median warren]

How do I get the aircraft on this expedition this is my first one and I cant find it

[fierce robin]

Not at all

[remote thunder]

yeah, not supposed to

[grim vortex]

Now I have to decide if that's worth another five hours of driving and getting out over and over again to pick up stuff that falls out

[quick harness]

How do I get my ship?

[wraith junco]

Cant untill u done with exp

[quick harness]

Ah ok

[grim vortex]

...and fifteen pieces of waste just fell out and rollled in three different directions. FIrst expedition I've ever quit

[remote thunder]

try to pack your loot more neatly, try not stacking up too much, try and go slower, be strategic and precise about where you drive through, avoid gravitino balls and hazardous plants (snappie) - when going downhill, slow down, remember that you can move like a bobcat to brake yourself

using the rear tracked treads helped me a bit i think

[scarlet relic]

I think i encountered a problem, in phase 3 im supposed to scan 2 undiscovered creatures with the cyclops scanner but ive already discovered 5/6 fauna?

[white bronze]

Road signs is so annoying bro I keep finding the waypoint things and charging them but someone already has ig cause it doesn’t add to my total needed

[fierce robin]

Scan the Last one and upload

[vast garnet]

any one else not having waypoints count for them?

[white bronze]

is there any easier way to do this 🙏

[median warren]

@fierce robin no like theres no indication of a ship anywheres if it was in a location where would it be?

[white bronze]

yes

[remote thunder]

@white bronze @vast garnet check this post <#nms-commands message>

[fierce robin]

You dont get IT until the exp ist over

[vast garnet]

i am finding new ones several min drive and they are not counting for me also

[grim vortex]

I appreciate the suggestion. The grind-frustration/fun ratio in this expedition just isn't there.

[fierce robin]

If you find IT you cant repair it

[remote thunder]

it is there though, just no compass/visor marker. dont worry, when it's time for you to have a ship, it will be respawned nearby your current location then

[white bronze]

ah I can only rename and upload one of my four discovered

[remote thunder]

note, it shouldnt be required to rename&upload, just interacting is enough (that image was actually made for a past expedition, i just reused it to save some time) @vast garnet

[white bronze]

ah ok

yeah I found an undiscovered one I got the nav data but it didn’t count for my progress in road signs

[vast garnet]

it says ive seen 13 waypoints this time around. and i only hjave 3 of 6 counted

[median warren]

@remote thunder ya theres no indication on the visor or hud I have the resources to fully rebuild the ships damages I was hoping id find it so I could go get my technologies and cargo I brought with me to the expedition

[remote thunder]

1. Be sure to have mp disabled
2. Save+return to main menu, load save, make sure to have the right milestone selected, interact again. If needed try to upload waypoint discovery.

[remote thunder]

nah that wont happen on this expedition, not before the very end

iow, you'll have access to anomaly at the very end, whatever you brought in or thought of doing in that regard, just forget about it

[remote thunder]

1. Be sure to have mp disabled
2. Save+return to main menu, load save, make sure to have the right milestone selected, interact again. If needed try to upload waypoint discovery.

that has worked for some players

if it's still not working for you

just wait for the next patch

[white bronze]

alr

thx

[remote thunder]

as mentioned in the linked post, this issue is supposed to already be fixed on steam experimental branch

just got to wait for it to be bundled into a public patch and reach other platforms

[true axle]

is there any way I can fix my game crashing? im running it on a series x and its crashing every minute or so (I rarely had this problem before, im doing the expedition now and its just turning off all the time)

[scarlet relic]

When it says to “chart waypoints” im not quite sure what that means

I havent seen anything near structures that promote me like that

[quick harness]

I think its when they have them save point things that look like flag poles. Usually theres a light and some crates around them.

But im not sure.

[remote thunder]

some players have reported success changing graphics from quality to performance, or vice-versa

[remote thunder]

you are correct

[remote thunder]

see <#nms-commands message>

many buildings will have one

waste processing plant and waste heaps should as well

[quick harness]

Theres a minor settlement showing 50 minutes away. Im not for that long. I hope to discover one elsewhere.

[remote thunder]

most likely will. use your exocraft visor to keep an eye for unknown building icons, make short detours

[quick harness]

Used the radar and found one at a drop pod that worked. Instantly started getting attacked by pirates though which I find strange as I don't have a ship.

[wild narwhal]

That'll stay put .....

[remote thunder]

pirate attacks happen - but ime they havent really been focusing on too much - they fire off a couple shots, and then just move on

[zealous drum]

gotta do the dad slap " thats not going anywhere" then youre good

[wild narwhal]

Me IRL before pulling onto the interstate.

I did actually jiggle it back and forth to get parts to settle in place with the heavy junk on top.
Made it back with 11 of the special things and 8 normal junk.

[remote thunder]

absolutely

it seems that the better packed it is, the less likely it is to fall off - ime it practically wont ever fall off if not stacking stuff on top of each other

[muted mortar]

I didn't realize they tied other milestones into the mining laser one so now I'm really softlocked

I'm gonna try the experimental branch. Do you know where the code is for being able to download it?

[remote thunder]

see https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/814724377262215877/ . that said, remember, do not opt out of experimental before steam public has caught up

[vast garnet]

so riddle me this. why can i find other players ships but not mine?

[dusky fiber]

done, 7/10, cargo bouncing out of the storge bay was annoying but made me rethink about about how big planets in no mans sky are.

[remote thunder]

because we're not meant to have a ship during expedition, only after we're done

[muted mortar]

Gotcha so I'll bump up to experimental, then at the next main branch patch I'll go back to the main branch

[remote thunder]

also, your ability to multiplayer with non-experimental might be impacted (diff save versions)

[muted mortar]

That's ok for now since this expedition is better on single player

[signal igloo]

i am running in my xbox app, and its seems to be working pretty fair. i don't like the look of the tool as much as the steam veersion gave me. but it's temporary so... meh when i seek out drop pod expansions i am getting my waypoints. also the telehalo phone gave way points. what ever that thing is called maybe halotower.

[heady trench]

Does waste incinerated in the expedition count toward the furnace chassis?

[signal igloo]

As opposed to special

Seems like it does I have not checked that directly

[remote thunder]

progress is per save - but when you get it, the unlock is account wide

iow you cant combine progress done in multiple saves towards the same unlock

[heady trench]

I'm doing the expedition through the nexus, so the game still registers it and my main save as one save, yes?

[signal igloo]

Time travel. Paradox

[solemn bane]

I doubt it. When you start an expedition the game make a save within your save. It’s weird but in most ways it’s like a new save.

[remote thunder]

actually, your expedition char is a different save in that sense, but it works out anyway (with the exception it seems of flatbed chassis, but that's a really easy unlock) because titles and colossus customization options are unlocked account wide, so any save, any character, under the same account, will be able to have access to them (just claimed from quicksilver shop in each char)

any char under same account, existing or future

[signal igloo]

Damn good job

[heady trench]

Ahh, annoying. Thanks for the info mate!

[muted mortar]

Got into experimental, fired the turret immediately, it did nothing. Going back to main branch and reloading from a restore point made last night

[signal igloo]

It’s one of the hardest concepts to explain so well
Thank you @remote thunder

[iron bloom]

Hi all thanks for the invite , I started my first expedition yesterday and already messed up , I'm 8hrs from my mission as I went through a portal come back on and portal is gone. Any ideas how I can get back quickly please.

[grim vortex]

Do the waste heaps respawn?

[round sapphire]

This expedition has been cool so far. Im learning alot from it

[remote thunder]

i've not looked into this sorry, i dont know for sure what's their regen "rules", but i imagine that with multiplayer disabled, they probably follow the same rules as other destroyable objects: only respawn when save has reached the limit to store, iow remember destructed objects

[grim vortex]

Ugh.

[wild narwhal]

Precarious

[rustic karma]

😬

[grim vortex]

Is there any way to scan for a waste heap that that is different from the heap you're at?

[zealous drum]

driving at night with a fully loaded bed, fell into a natural cave, had to use terrain manipulator to dig my way out and mak me a road

[atomic estuary]

They do, but I don't think there is a way to respawn them reliably. Reloading does nothing, same for leaving the system and coming back, but one heap I marked and came back to after doing a couple of runs respawned.

@remote thunder it could be "stored interactions" type of deal, indeed, could've respawned bc I picked up a lot of waste from other places, I'm not sure if it could be time, I don't think there is a lot of things in NMS that respawn based on a timer.

[grim vortex]

I really just want to recover the 15+ pieces of waste that scattered to the four winds when my colossus went over a ridge, without haveing to drive an hour.

[vast garnet]

so have softlocked myself if i cant find any more minerals to use my visor on and i have 7of the 8 uit says i need?

[atomic estuary]

Then you didn't softlock yourself, just can't find the last mineral. I think that weirdly enough one tree looking thing on the planet counts as a mineral, there are some small pebbles, caves have two iirc. You just have to find the last one that you didn't scan

[remote thunder]

gotcha, good to know 🙂

[remote thunder]

can you post a screenshot of your discovered minerals list

[plain viper]

it happened to me. I unloaded the flatbed and like vultures they stole my load and threw them in the fire.

[lilac wave]

is there a way to turn and extend out the pieces you're holding with grav beam?

[muted mortar]

Game crashed randomly between that and the laser softlock I'm coming back to this on Monday

[remote thunder]

i've been trying to but the best i've come up with is just moving myself first accounting for that minimum distance

[lilac wave]

yea they definitely could do more with grav beam

[modest kestrel]

do we know coords of all milestone trash heaps?

[remote thunder]

there's probably hundreds on the same planet, and i dont think we get sent to the same ones; imagine if you spawned on the other side of the planet, and had to go to the location everyone else had to

"wouldnt be" feasible

[agile pond]

where is he janhuite rock found? looking at some screenshots people have been sending it seems it's the only missing one

[lilac wave]

yup its just little rocks on the ground. i found them around other ferrite rocks

[wild narwhal]

This expedition might as well be like:

[scarlet relic]

Dang the waypoints arent working for me

Ive discovered a few and uploaded them, even tried saving and quitting and doing it again but not one counts towards the 6

[noble linden]

I read something about go out into galaxy with in expedition for larger reward, is there a hidden reward?

[noble linden]

I had to finish everything then do the road maps

[lilac wave]

wish me luck getting back

[short void]

I need some explanation

[noble linden]

I did 11 min trek with 34 which ended up being 31

[lilac wave]

yea i just lost a bunch

[limpid viper]

wht is this upd about anyway?e

[lilac wave]

the truck doesnt slow down!

[short void]

I visited 8 beacons but my roadsign mission is at 2

[noble linden]

Not on big hills, you gotta turn to stop

[remote thunder]

turn while braking

[grim vortex]

Is there any way to scan for a -different- waste heap? The one I scanned for is 13 mimutes away. and it's empty. I need a -different- waste heap.

[modest kestrel]

why can't i refuel my starship?

[vernal vigil]

are any of the other planets in the expeditions system better for specialist scrap?

[lusty junco]

Stuck driving 56 minutes to get to the next waypoint/trash heap. Expedition: NOT fun.

[grim vortex]

same

[lilac wave]

yikes that sucks,

[grim vortex]

I don't actually think it's possible for me to complete this expedition now

[wraith junco]

Wait till patch maybe. We have still 6 weeks to complete it

[scarlet relic]

yeah the waypoints just arent working for me at all, ill have to wait for a patch

[dusty pecan]

lol some modder had built a massively upscaled summoning station

[wraith junco]

Nothing new . Another reason to play offline.

[dusty pecan]

On the other hand... I can fit so much scrap on this thing now 🤣

[modest kestrel]

I will try to save editor my way out of this conundrum, because I am 2h drive away from the nearest trash heap, and my starship won't let me refuel itself, one milestone left anyways, and it's the 16 specialist cargo

[lilac dagger]

Yup. Had a dude yoink my 5 special waste items last night so I switched to offline

[lusty junco]

For roadsigns the exocraft scanner just kept pointing me back to points of interest that I've already visited, or to one ridiculously far awat.

[grim vortex]

If you find a way to save-edit a way to spawn new special waste, please let me know

[lilac dagger]

Me too

[modest kestrel]

i almost sure you cannot spawn specialist waste with an save editor.

[remote thunder]

personally, i just resort to using leylines most of the time, and visor to find unknown buildings along side that leyline (see <#nms-questions message>)

[lusty junco]

If I wanted to drive am hour I'd stop working from home 😉

[grim vortex]

That's a bummer. I opened a Zendesk ticket (I think, because there's no confirmation after submit)., but I have a feeling I can't finish this expedition at all becaue I can't find enough waste

[remote thunder]

it's ancient way of finding buildings, but it works

[lusty junco]

I ended up just driving a few minutes, hopping out and looking for buildings with my visor.

[remote thunder]

dont forget, after cyclops scope is installed, we can use visor while driving exocraft

[tidal pollen]

You're not meant to use your starship on the truck themed expedition

[modest kestrel]

then why would it be fueled to begin with?

[elder acorn]

because at the end of the expedition when you've accomplished all the tasks, the ship becomes available and you fly it to the anomaly to finish.

[native igloo]

With all the crashing its evident is wasn't ready and feels rushed

[zealous drum]

so you cant throw sentinels in the recycler, i am disappointed

none of hte machines do anythign to them if yo uthrow them in

[solemn bane]

You are not allowed to have any kind of fun with combat in NMS

[quick harness]

The constant crashing is beginning to become tiresome now.

The latest crash has rebooted my series x.

[zealous drum]

try disabling multiplayer, that seems to fix a lot of issues

[quick harness]

Already is 😔

[solemn bane]

Xbox is just mega crashy this patch

[quick harness]

Its beginning to feel like nothing gets tested thoroughly before release.

Its not like PC where that differs. Consoles are all the same.

[solemn bane]

That's been a staple for NMS from the beginning

[quick harness]

...now the game wont even load. Just a red circle.

[sick sand]

Everyone enjoying the new expedition

[wraith junco]

Suuuuuuure

[sick sand]

Just finished it yesterday

[dusty pecan]

Is the Roadsigns milestone bugged?

[simple raptor]

one of those expeditions that i didnt hate but i would be angry if there was another similar one

[zealous drum]

I wouldnt be angry, but I would like there to be improvements to make it eaiser to play through

[sick sand]

Nah it’s just gay. Let me tell you how I did it. Finish everything else then you be able to fly your ship. Then go to another planet and fly low to the ground and scan till you find structures

[arctic mortar]

I was just going to ask about that challenge

[simple raptor]

the issues with it iirc are fixed next patch

[quick harness]

When it works yes.

[zealous drum]

I was able to get all 6 to count with the waypoints at each heap and the processing center

[simple raptor]

whenever that releases (hopefully soon)

[arctic mortar]

The only thing I don’t like about the expeditions is that it’s timed 😖

[zealous drum]

6 weeks is a long time

[sick sand]

Yea it is

[zealous drum]

honestly if you cant complete it in 1.5 months, idk what to tell you

[lofty sandal]

how many xbox players arent experiencing issues with multiplayer bc i havent crashed all that much playing the expedition

[arctic mortar]

I just always feel pressured lol but no you’re right 6 weeks is definitely enough time

[lofty sandal]

im almost done with the expedition and its like day 2 of it being on xbox

[simple raptor]

• also like

if they werent timed

and you could replay them all whenever

they would get boring very fast

most expeditions are fairly similar just with shuffled around goals and some different dialogue and a couple unique things

[wanton frigate]

I just found mine by accident, I'm in phase 3, and it's flyable. No hyperdrive but went to the local station to sell Gravitinos and buy a suit slot. No teleport locations available 🙁 But it trivialises the journeys between dump sites. Or would have of I hadnt already visited them all at the start. (Maybe that's why it's flyable?)

[arctic mortar]

It’s cool when they add some expeditions back so that if anyone’s missed any they can play them

[simple raptor]

yeah they do that every december for the previous year of expeditions
but generally if you miss that ur out of luck

[arctic mortar]

Yup if you miss that you’ll have to contact Sean Murray and beg him to help you out lol

[simple raptor]

if ur on pc you can always save edit them back in and play them

but yeah thats about it

[deep turtle]

for tle life of me i can't find the 8th mineral

can someone tell me what it is & where to find it

[remote thunder]

try checking out areas like this

[deep turtle]

what does it look like?

[hot grail]

Had that aswell it was a super small rock for me

[zealous drum]

tiny

and literally everywhere

[zealous drum]

there is also Oelovite, also tiny and everywhereo n barren hilsides

[remote thunder]

these small ones, maybe

[zealous drum]

yep those are Oleovite

[deep turtle]

found it thank you guys

[scarlet relic]

Yeah the smaller rock stumped me for a while too lol

[cinder oxide]

Hey, I got to ask, I'm still a bit new to expeditions.
Where is the quest to get my ship? I see it's busted somewhere but I don't even see it on my radar.

[scarlet relic]

only 3 i have left are the 2 sentinel hunting ones and roadsigns

which ive determined just straight up doesnt work

[zealous drum]

you dont get a ship for this one until you complete the expedition

[scarlet relic]

speaking of that ship, i cant tell what type of ship it is

[cinder oxide]

I have to stay on the first planet until I've completed the entire expedition?

[scarlet relic]

its not shaped like any specific one?

[zealous drum]

the sentinel ones are easy, spam rightclick on the same sentinel 32 times 😄

[zealous drum]

yes

[scarlet relic]

Lol
Im probably gonna wait until roadsigns gets fixed before i continue

[cinder oxide]

dang...okay, not a fan of this planet since it gets so cold at night, will have to install the freeze protection or something

[zealous drum]

did you hit all the waypoints at each heap? plus the one at the processing center, i got all 6 just from those

[scarlet relic]

Yeah i interacted with them, it just doesnt increase the counter for some reason

I even tried uploading them but it still showe 0/6

[zealous drum]

oh dang thats rough

i think thats fixed in next patch

[scarlet relic]

Well i hope the patch is released soon then

[hard ledge]

hey - i got a problem. I'm stuck and cannot find last 5 toxic barrels for expedition. When I use scanner it shows me only one same empty place even when im not on the planet. Any ideas or cords for toxic waste? :<

[viscid sparrow]

any newbies need help with anything

[lofty storm]

Not all of them work for some reason. One of them didn't work the firt time but then worked when I came back hours later. Try scanning for other locations.

[quick harness]

Lol same for me currently

[lofty storm]

Same -_- I can't even play for a full minute without the game freezing and crashing on me

[scarlet relic]

Ive attempted about 7 so far and 0 counted lmao

Ive gotten my starship already 😭

[lofty storm]

They spawn in random piles away from the main heaps. Check those for special materials.

[deep turtle]

22 MINUTES TO RENDEVOUZ 3 ???

yo...

[zealous drum]

at least the colossus is faster than on foot 😛

[scarlet relic]

-# honestly the rewards arent even that great this time either xD

[lofty storm]

Not once you get movement upgrades lol

[zealous drum]

true, melee jetpack trick is technically faster

but you have to drive back anyway

[lofty storm]

Yeah, you don't have a choice once you get there 😅

[lofty storm]

The outfit is pretty spiffy tho. Only real reason I forced myself through the constant crashing lol

[remote thunder]

i need to go switch to it

i was like 🤩 when i saw it

[lofty storm]

It immediately gave me Mortal Kombat vibes. ❤️

[deep turtle]

what's the melee jetpack trick?

[lavish bolt]

How do I get the flatbed in normal gameplay or is that just a design for expedition not normal gameplay?

[lofty storm]

You have to buy the coil gun upgrade from the anomaly @lavish bolt

[zealous drum]

sprint, melee while sprinting then jetpack, if you do it right youll jetpack faster than normal

jetpack right as you melee, might take some practice but once you get it its the best way to travel on foot

[lofty storm]

If you manage to do it again when you come back down you go even faster

[zealous drum]

yeah

and with sprint/jetpack upgrades, its very nice

[storm fiber]

wilil doing all of the rewards of the expedition give me all the cusomations?

[zealous drum]

I think spiffy was the right word @lofty storm

[deep turtle]

wdym by melee though

sorry i'm kind of new

[zealous drum]

theres a hotkey for melee, not sure what the default is but ive changed mine to Q

[lofty sandal]

wouldnt it be something like F?

i wouldnt knoe bc i play on console but i feel like thats a pretty consistent key for melee

[zealous drum]

probably, i may have changed mine long ago

[lofty sandal]

try pressing f if its not that search through the keybinds to find it

[urban veldt]

Does anyone else see blinding yellow spots on the expedition planet? Every time I hit an obstacle it lights up. I see them in the distance too.

[remote thunder]

on pc? using any mods?

[lofty sandal]

idk but i have noticed sparks coming off the groubd when i drive the collosal

[urban veldt]

PC. I do have some mods but nothing visual.

[remote thunder]

i'd suggest taking them all off for now, and retest

[zealous drum]

I think those may be from things clanging around in the bed of the truck

[remote thunder]

possibly

did see some too

[urban veldt]

That was my next try. I was just checking to see if it was a me thing first

[lofty sandal]

it happens without the stuff in the truck and its also not on the truck its off to the side and depends on where i look

[lofty storm]

I saw a lot of exocraft mining lazers with no exos nearby, but nothing like that.

[urban veldt]

I’ve had visual bugs that made the game unplayable in the past. Like the Worlds update tanked my FPS with ocean lights

[zealous drum]

oh idk then

[remote thunder]

default is Q btw @deep turtle

[storm fiber]

how do you re-orient a sentinal?

[zealous drum]

right click on it with the grav gun. in fact yo ucan spam it on the same sentinel 32 times for the thing

[quick jolt]

Quick Question. Im currently 14/16 for the toxic waste challenge on phase 5. I can't find the last 2 toxic waste. Ive been to the heaps multiple times. No respawn at all on special waste, and no toxic waist is around the map! Any suggestions

[remote thunder]

drive around using visor to look for specialist industrial waste (same green icon as industrial waste)

[quick jolt]

Okay. Thank you!

[chilly kayak]

Did they patch Xbox yet or is it still crashing like crazy?

[quick jolt]

Crashing like crazyyy!!

[chilly kayak]

Lame

[quick jolt]

It suckssss

[chilly kayak]

It really does

It crashed a dozen times on me yesterday and when it crashed this morning I just quit playing and went out

[clear vigil]

Time to play garbage man simulator

[limpid junco]

question - how long is the expedition on for?

[zealous drum]

i actually did enjoy this exp, made me think about how to get to point A to B quickly and efficiently. in fact a handful of times I just used terrain manipulator to flatten out a road to drive on

[short void]

6 weeks

[vernal vigil]

6 weeks

[vernal vigil]

we gotta fight to the death now

[short void]

I'm a turret

I'd win

[vernal vigil]

nah

I'd win

[short void]

Also my xbox crashed for the 5th time in an hour bc of the expedition

[limpid junco]

thanks

[short void]

May or may not have been a forgotten terminal that crashed it

[vernal vigil]

idk what everyone's on about, my game hasn't crashed once and ive done almost every part of the expedition excluding the last 3 special scrap quests

[short void]

It crashed again

It's been 2 minutes

Fuck

It crashed the game not the device and I turned it off

[vernal vigil]

maybe like
turn your graphics down???

[short void]

I'm on lowest graphics

[vernal vigil]

clean out your xbox's vents maybe??

like my xbox never crashes at all

[short void]

I cleaned them yesterday

[vernal vigil]

strange

yeah give it time to cool down, maybe its just overheating

[short void]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'll crack it open later on and turn it on and measure the temps

It crashed again lol

[chilly kayak]

5 minutes in it crashed already

[short void]

Yep

We love no man's sky

[chilly kayak]

It's getting old fast

[short void]

Also what's your opinion on the portable refiner duping glitch?

[chilly kayak]

Unaware of it

How's it work?

[short void]

Place an item in a portable refiner

Place another portable refiner in the first one

Dupe acquired

It works with all non-technology items

And corvette parts

[chilly kayak]

Oh that one? That's still around wow! I remember doing that years ago

[short void]

Another glitch I know about is with corvettes and when they first released

[chilly kayak]

Id assumed that got patched

[short void]

Idk if the devs know why it does that

[chilly kayak]

Weird

[short void]

Just gieb the things collision

[chilly kayak]

Im all for duping a few things here and there as long as it doesn't take away from the experience

[solemn bane]

I'm sure they know, it's probably just hard to fix without overhauling how everything in the game works. There are similar bugs all over the place (things occupying the "same" space)

But you would think at least they would make it so you can't build/move them on top of each other, since it's such a well-known bug. But then again maybe they just figure people like it and don't even want to fix it.

[noble marlin]

When I was doing the expedition I noticed a big problem was the waypoint mission one since everybody already claimed a waypoint like mile from the spawn place, thankfully I was able to complete it with a friend by going like more than an hour from spawn

[short void]

Oh god

I do not want to do that

[merry gazelle]

What were you doing to make you go that far? lol

[short void]

Running from a sentinels walker

[merry gazelle]

Well now you can see if can scrap the walker

[short void]

I love how you can just throw sentinels now

[zealous drum]

unfortunately you cant throw them in the machines

i mean you can but nothing happens, i was sad

[vernal vigil]

why were you running at all

you can just

dig into the ground and seal the hole off

protects you from environmental conditions and 99% of the time hides you from the sentinels

[short void]

Panic

I also just killed a walker so yippee no more sentinels

[vernal vigil]

your first instinct should be to burrow

like a mole rat

[short void]

Nah

Collosus go vroom

[zenith nacelle]

My colossus goes skitter skitter skitter

[short void]

I wish there was a way to dupe the waste

Is there any way to use a keyboard on console for no man's sky

[deep turtle]

literally every waypoint i'm coming across has already been charted ts pmo

multiplayer is already off

still only 3/6 for the quest when i've used the save beacons on 8

Expedition 21: Roadsigns milestone not registering

If interacting with a undiscovered waypoint isn't working, the steps below worked for some players:

1. Be sure to have mp disabled
2. Save+return to main menu, load save, make sure to have the right milestone selected, interact again. If needed try to upload waypoint discovery.

Note: If still not working, wait for the next public patch, there's a fix for this on steam experimental branch atm.

To find more buildings, you can use your exocraft radar in the quick menu to scan for drop pods for example.

Going completely offline or firewall blocking the game would make every waypoint be uncharted, undiscovered.

that last bit

[golden apex]

I have good news. I finished the expedition

[remote crag]

Question, how do you find the tritium on planet for the grip suspension mod?

[stone lotus]

oh my god doing auto collect does not give you the milestone for processing special waste

welp there goes 20 minutes

[vernal vigil]

you actually kinda cant

at a certain point you do gain access to your starship and can go into space though

and then you can get it from asteroids like normal

[zealous drum]

i had all 3 suspension mods

[latent owl]

refine dihydrogen, also i think one of the exp rewards gives you the grip suspension

[vernal vigil]

also, you really do want all the tire grip you can on this expedition

[latent owl]

actually nevermind idr if you can refine dihydrogen into tritium but i do know i got the reward

[vernal vigil]

the sheer surfaces make it impossible to go anywhere without high grip

or at least significantly slower

[remote crag]

Yeah I can only install the mod but it says I need tritium

[tulip root]

Whee

[fierce acorn]

nightmare! lol

[golden apex]

I had a traditional style half track the whole time for my expedition so tracks in the back wheels in the front

[strong horizon]

im having truble with the roadsigns milestone the progres is stuck at one and dosnt go up when interacting woth way points am i doing something wrong

[remote thunder]

you get it pre-packaged as well @vernal vigil, checkpoint I reward

it will be in a cargo inventory, a grey looking icon

first, uninstall what you already started (by clicking on a free tech slot)

then cursor over the tech package, install it on a free colossus tech slot

that's it, no resources needed

[quaint light]

Nvm

Saw message above

Nvm saw no answer

Ye i need help with the roadsigns mission as well, my progress is stuck at 0

I started EX in multiplayer and ive tried goikg into solo after a game restart and is not going up

How do i get the objective done?

Tnx

[remote thunder]

see <#nms-expedition message> @strong horizon

Tnx

[crisp island]

Hello!

[strong horizon]

didnt seem to work for me sadly

[remote thunder]

final section

[remote thunder]

hi! 🙂

[crisp island]

Hi

[strong horizon]

yes but thats not the problem i was having i was finding undiscoverd way points and i did uplead them i allso found previusly discoverd ones non of them worked

[remote thunder]

did you have multiplayer disabled; after disabling it did you save and return to main menu, then load save up again, then tried finding a new one?

[eager flame]

So the monolith milestone is just a driving simulator huh? 15 minutes by exocraft

[remote thunder]

this has worked for some players, at least some 5 or 6 i suggested it to

[strong horizon]

i did have multiplayer disabled and i had it dissabled befor even starting the milestone

[remote thunder]

you can try and find another closer by a different objective of a diff milestone, otherwise 15min isnt' much after you have 3 s-class engine modules on (checkpoint 4 reward)

[remote thunder]

if you're on steam you could try to switch to experimental branch, it's supposedly fixed there already. ofc, dont opt out of experimental till public has caught up

[eager flame]

Yeah makes sense, I'll try it once I hit the 4th rendezvous point

[vernal vigil]

thats this whole expedition

[eager flame]

Good point

[vernal vigil]

just
"my collars blue but my neck is red,
been workin like a dog just to keep my family fed"

[strong horizon]

i have one more thing i a want to try befor doing that ibecause it worked once for me and stoped afterwards

[tulip root]

Euclid Truck Simulator

[solemn bane]

I just wanna kiss my fish.

[strong horizon]

i fugured out why roadsigns didnt work for me

you need to find the structures with the radar in the quick menue if you just find a way point using the scanner or by randomly coming acros it the game dosnt count it for some reson

[remote thunder]

errm, it does, i did find a few using simple visor

weird

[winter rover]

Welp, that's the only objective left. That's gonna suck finding 4 of those..

Honestly though? Not as bad as people said. The driving and land exploration is nice

[remote thunder]

specialist industrial waste should be ok easy to find

[remote thunder]

some people said

i personally loved it

[winter rover]

The only thing I hate is hazardous fauna making your exocraft bounce like crazy if you don't ram right into them with the excavator

[remote thunder]

gives me a reason to actually drive like a truck

[winter rover]

But yeah! Having a controller helps

[winter rover]

Those count as toxic?

Or are these more like "jokers"?

[prisma tundra]

are you sure about that first point? the expedition terminus seems to be open as usual, and I think I saw some people mention that you can eventually get to your ship & can use it, which means being able to at least unlock the anomaly in expedition, it wouldn't really make sense to have the terminus available to input stuff if it can never be claimed or not have the ability to send stuff back to main save

[remote thunder]

specialist industrial waste can have regular waste and waste of any of the 3 types

[prisma tundra]

I always use controller lol

[winter rover]

I can't stand controller for anything else than driving in this game but that's just me

[remote thunder]

anomaly unlocks after completing and claiming all (but final exp badge) afaik

[solemn bane]

Edited 😛

[winter rover]

I need 120+ fps and I need mouse and kb for on-foot and ship controls, for some reason this game specifically has pretty bad input lag at 60 fps and below, at least on my system

[prisma tundra]

interesting

[prisma tundra]

alright, thanks

[remote thunder]

it did for me anyway, wasnt auto unlocked as soon as i got to space 🙂

[neat furnace]

finally finished the expedition after 10 hours HORRAYYY

[prisma tundra]

it's usually warping once that unlocks the anomaly, not just getting off planet

[remote thunder]

yep, but since there's no warping in this expedition (hyperdrive only gets rewarded after conversion to normal ime)

[prisma tundra]

I swear I saw someone say they installed one anyway? maybe I'm just misremembering, idk

[remote thunder]

not sure how it works when it comes to saves started from existing, havent tested that yet

[tender tusk]

IME you get no warp drive at all coming from a main save and have to unlock it at the anomaly with nanites after claiming all milestones

[remote thunder]

ah there you go

that makes sense

thank you

totally forgot we can unlock hyperdrive base tech at anomaly

[pastel moon]

Any idea where to find all the minerals for the expetidion? Running around since an hour and i seem to be stuck at 6/8

[remote thunder]

it's like a given these days 😄

[prisma tundra]

oh ok, that makes sense

[prisma tundra]

there's a few tricky ones, the pins have more detail

[remote thunder]

try terrain patches like these, the small rocks you can see there

[pastel moon]

Ty guys, ill look out for that

[remote thunder]

these almost look like dry river beds sometimes

[pastel moon]

Yeah i have seen them when driving around

[tulip root]

I was thinking magma channels

Dry river beds also works! 🙂

[vital aspen]

Even doing this doesnt work for me

[prisma tundra]

so then I suppose I should technically go in with nothing? cause I'd just end up sending it right back if anomaly doesn't unlock until finished with expedition, but I can send things back afterwards like usual by that point

[strong horizon]

that sucks i dont really know what else you could do 🙁

[twilit eagle]

hey yall! im having issues with two of the milestones in the expedition: petrology and roadsigns

roadsigns seems to be generally bugged or im otherwise doing it wrong, but ive arrived at about 15 save points and only have 5/6
petrology im missing one rock but dont know which and have had no luck despite exploring for 10 ish hours

[remote thunder]

• minerals; just a few posts above yours: <#nms-expedition message>
• roadsign: <#nms-expedition message>

[twilit eagle]

thanks! appreciate it!

[tulip root]

Caves helped me a lot

[remote thunder]

that too yeah

[remote thunder]

love that hehe

have fun 🙂

[prisma tundra]

oh duh, it literally says this and I didn't read it properly lmao

[smoky trail]

found a derilect freighter in the sky

first time ive seen one so close to a planet

[royal burrow]

can I cheese the milestones by bringing more than 5 per haul and leaving them at the recycling statino

[winter rover]

Currently not finding any of those so far, just "industrial waste". But I found 3 toxic waste containers out of four just exploring..

[remote thunder]

due to multiplayer, someone spawned it me thinks

[smoky trail]

do all the checkpoint missions then do the final haul mission

[remote thunder]

what i did was i left road trip milestones for when i got to checkpoint V

[toxic crag]

How does starting an expedition work? I've never done one before.

[remote thunder]

yeah, takes exploring basically

Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players ( ) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

[royal burrow]

I thought there was 5 independent haul missions?

[smoky trail]

look for scrap heaps by using the scanner

[remote thunder]

@toxic crag that said, no point bringing resources to exp21 if you start from existing save

[remote thunder]

road trip milestones basically want you to process 5 specialist waste each. i just went around collecting 25 specialist waste to do them

processed the 25 at the same spot

[royal burrow]

that was quick😂

[eager flame]

Is the tailgate annoyingly easy to clip cargo through for anyone else?

[smoky trail]

true

fast moderation

[royal burrow]

so you dont have to haul 5 back from each milestone

[remote thunder]

nah

[toxic crag]

Oh okay, would you recommend I start with preexisting save or using a new one?

[royal burrow]

and you just need to recycle 25 in total or do you have to stagger them

[remote thunder]

for this one, it really doesn't matter much - you're not going to get a lot of stuff worthy to bring back to primary save anyway

[remote thunder]

for the road trip milestones alone, thats 25 for all 5 of those milestones - then you got "process 16 of each specialist industrial waste type" milestones (3)

you basically just haul specialist waste for those 4

[royal burrow]

no I was wondering if you can just immediately recycle every special waste you get or do you need to do them in groups of 5

[remote thunder]

no you can do it at the pace you want

[eager flame]

I've been doing like 10 at a time

[royal burrow]

ah thats much easier

[eager flame]

I'm on road trip four and I've gathered 34/39 already without dropping anything off yet

[remote thunder]

it's not hard to do with a little planning and being careful with bumps

[clear vine]

What are the waypoints I have to chart? I thought they were the beacons outside of poi’s but ive done two and it still says 0/6

check that post

[smoky trail]

nice to see they are trying to fix it

the secret 3rd option on pc is to save edit to comeplete the mission

[clear vine]

Damn I have already done that. I guess I gotta wait for a patch

[neat furnace]

the heirloom items look so good

the expedition was worth it

[remote thunder]

should already be fixed on steam experimental

[opaque cosmos]

can normal industrial waste have special waste

[smoky trail]

nice

[opaque cosmos]

like the normal piles i mean

[remote thunder]

sometimes you can have the game get confused with which icon it will show, so yes, i have found small piles that had mostly regular waste, but also had 1 of the specialist

[opaque cosmos]

YESSS

[stuck belfry]

After finishing this expedition I'm going to appreciate my spaceship so much more

[opaque cosmos]

I BLEW UP ONE OF MINE THXXX

[stone lotus]

how are people building bases? I don't have the base computer blueprint and I'm not seeing it as a reward for any of the milestones

[eager flame]

You can find special waste scattered around yeah

[stuck belfry]

I guess it's awarded along with your starship after completing everything? That's my best guess at least

[opaque cosmos]

yea but on the hud does it have to always say specialised waste

[eager flame]

For those specific milestones yes otherewise it's just scrap metal basically

[opaque cosmos]

so i do have to take the 20 minute drive again?

[eager flame]

Well you need to reach the rendezpoint anyway soooo? Depends on what you're doing I guess

[opaque cosmos]

i have but i blew up on the first trip

[crisp rapids]

Anyone else unable to apply flatbed chassis outside the expedition?

[smoky trail]

pretty sure you need to get it on a planet with scrap

[crisp rapids]

Check, even got to the point in quest where I’m instructed to install the chassis

It just can’t, still showing locked

[smoky trail]

are you on the expedition or normal save

[crisp rapids]

Normal, finished expedition just earlier today

[smoky trail]

yeah so maybe you need to find a waste processing plant and use the terminal there

[opaque cosmos]

HAHAHAHA

I FOUND THE LAST ONE

i think im going mad

[smoky trail]

nice

lmao now they give it to you

[opaque cosmos]

this will be the first expiditon i actually complete and it was just for those spider legs

[coarse aspen]

For the mission where you have to get the 5 bits of 'special' waste to the processing plant I hauled it all there, used the weighing station to turn it in...and it said I lost it all :/ do you have to take each piece out and toss it in the incinerator?

[eager flame]

You need to toss them into the special incinerators that match the symbols on the trash

explosive, radio active and toxic

[coarse aspen]

Ahhh OK

[eager flame]

it's the three on the other side of the computer

[coarse aspen]

Had to go back and get more. Maybe one of the rewards is a tiedown upgrade

[opaque cosmos]

i did that too the first time lol

[eager flame]

I wish...but grab as much as you can at every heap there's usually 10+

[opaque cosmos]

there isnt sadly but there are lots of speed upgrades

[coarse aspen]

Oh yeah I grabbed everything I could get in there this time. Taking it easy and going the flattest route possible this time. Didn't know there were individual bins---just match up with the symbol on each container I guess

[eager flame]

Yeah they're all shaped different, radio active only come in 2-3 shapes, same for the other two etc.

Also there are "roads" that'll get you most of the way between the destinations, they're mostly smooth jut watch out for caves

[coarse aspen]

Speed is sort of not your friend when stuff might fall out...doesn't look like you can get it back once it does either

[smoky trail]

firework party since I finished the expedition

[coarse aspen]

Nice

[eager flame]

yes you can you just have to find it on the ground. It'll show as "specialized waste" in the visor

[coarse aspen]

Ohh OK

[eager flame]

But the cylinders will absolutely roll away if you don't get them quick enough. You can grab stuff from like 100u away which is nice though

[coarse aspen]

Took a little time...and a WHOLE LOTTA careless driving...to realize stuff falling out was a thing and yeah, gravity is NOT your friend on this planet either

[prisma tundra]

while I technically haven't started the expedition, I would disagree, I always find cool stuff to bring back from any expedition, that's why I intend to start from main save so I have that chance

[eager flame]

Same, I don't have hardly any upgrades for the exocraft so I'm bringing all of those back with me

[remote thunder]

i guess i just dont see it the same way

to me, upgrade modules are a matter of farming nanites and finding a shop

i dont consider them truly unique, worthy

[tender tusk]

End of Expedition they really locked down any type of ship hunting or crafting as I can't get any type of ship; the only thing i've been able to acquire post expedition end is a Freighter

[remote thunder]

remember that HUD shows cargo aboard

[lethal plume]

Experimental didn't seem to make a difference, I might have gotten unlucky and spawned into somewhere that only had one depot within range. Whoever chose to put this exped on a mountainous planet is diabolical tbh.
Completed though.

[coarse aspen]

This one is strictly land based, looks like, unless there's maybe underwater stuff later but looks like just you and your Colossus, everybody on one planet the whole time

[prisma tundra]

I was also thinking of taking back other useful packaged modules, but I'm also generally a resource hoarder, I'll take back anything if I have the time/ability lol

[fierce quail]

Hi, I can not build my colossus in expedition, someone has an idea pls ?

[eager flame]

Yeah but it costs nothing to bring them back so why not? I already have it

[prisma tundra]

I mean, I have 300k+ nanites on my main save, so that's never been a worry for me, but I still bring back upgrade modules as packages when I know they could be or are better than current stuff

[remote thunder]

the way i see it - it's only worth starting from a character that is more than established, rich, etc etc - if the expedition has unique items e.g. elixir of quicksilver. to each their own i guess.

[coarse aspen]

Maybe this comes along later but one mod that Colossus needs, 100% cosmetic but still---a horn

[remote thunder]

it has a horn already

[coarse aspen]

Also, a backup beeper for reverse

Cool!

[remote thunder]

on pc, press left control

[lethal plume]

Me and my main save's collection of 100 exosuit, 70 multitool and 50 ship upgrade modules I will never use

[prisma tundra]

so true lol

most of my storage containers are modules

[lethal plume]

I wish an expedition would give us some freighter stuff so I can export those too

[eager flame]

Oh man....my main save has a lazer beam pulse splitter....I can't wait to skeet shoot some explosive waste

[prisma tundra]

I can see that perspective for sure, I just also like being able to get more free stuff from expeditions even for well established saves

[frosty carbon]

I just hope my ship is at last point, otherwise not sure how to get back to main save.

[remote thunder]

yes, it will be made available in the future

[prisma tundra]

you can return to primary save whenever you want

[frosty carbon]

How if your stuck on the planet?

[winter rover]

exp done, weee

[prisma tundra]

it's always available in options for all expeditions since starting from a main save became available

[remote thunder]

dont worry, you'll have a ship to goto space and anomaly

just complete milestones

all of them

[prisma tundra]

that too

[frosty carbon]

Thx

[eager flame]

Can’t say I’ve ever seen that before

[frosty carbon]

I upgraded max speed, now last phase is going to be a struggle cargo bounce off for the smallest dumb.

[static pagoda]

!exp-time

[remote thunder]

these are also available as base decorations, a past expedition reward, from exp13

[eager flame]

Huh that's pretty cool

[remote thunder]

suggestion: use grip suspension tech and rear tracked treads

Rear ok, I got the front one at this time, didn't know it made a difference apart from cosmetics.

[static pagoda]

Oh wow that's plenty of time. Im used to doing reduxes

[solid knot]

Anyone know the requirements to unlock the rest of the colossus parts after the expedition?

[deep turtle]

what do you keep after the expedition?

[solid knot]

You can keep anything. Pull tech off you want to bring back, but you can buy the ability to remake it all at the anomaly.

[noble meadow]

I'm really struggling finding a last creature to scan on the expedition.
Got the snail thing, early jumping fish. Larger crab bouncy thing and those weird things in the floor like tentacles haha

But can't find the last one and it's been like two hours.
Any tips?

[remote thunder]

look at fauna list, spawn conditions

what's the last animal

[solid knot]

Finish stage 5 and unlock the ability to summon your ship. Scan an animal on one of the other planets in the system.

[frosty carbon]

Did you scan flying creatures

[noble meadow]

I'm on phase 5 atm. Heading to 5th waste heap. Just missing one creature on the planet

[noble meadow]

I've not seen any yet. That's probably it

[eager flame]

Did you complete the scan create from exocraft milestone yet?

[frosty carbon]

They seem to only appear in day time.

[remote thunder]

looking at fauna list can tell you what you need to know, what kind of animal are you looking for, and when/where do they spawn

[frosty carbon]

The planet have 1 flying, at day time in some places

[noble meadow]

Omg. I've only been playing this on and off for yesrs and never looked at that tab haha.

[deep turtle]

why is toxic waste so rare 😭

[noble meadow]

It's the common flying diurnal

[eager flame]

The tentacle one was the last one for me, I feel like the game prevented me from scanning the last one by foot. Once I got the cyclops scanner, it popped up easily and I finished both

[noble meadow]

Everything. Is installed inckusifnd cyclops. Just got look up and find these guys haha

[frosty carbon]

Try with mp off and reload save

[eager flame]

There might be two tentacle animals

One says mostly nocturnal

[whole seal]

Finding those waypoints is taking some real time.

Depot scanned with Minotaur is like 30 mins away

Seems wandering on foot for a small building is better use of time

But not many here.

[remote thunder]

applied on steam experimental branch atm:

Improved the Exocraft Radar's ability to locate nearby buildings when scanning.

[whole seal]

I am on Exp

I wonder if that means a general scan ? I don't see just "buildings" on the targetted Quick Menu scan

Abandoned buildings and depots are the two there that might work

Maybe that means a general scan picks up buildings better

[hard relic]

is this a bug ? i have spend 45 minute running around to put down a colossus geobay and everywhere is cannot build

[remote thunder]

hmm, i didn't really have to use it much at all besides heaps and waste plants

[vital aspen]

No, its just people being obnoxius with bases

[whole seal]

One of the milestones is finding 6 waypoints

[solemn bane]

Bases are preventing you from doing so. It used to be you could report them to remove the base, but that seems to not work anymore. Unknown if it's a bug.

[remote thunder]

"running around" is probably not a good idea - pick a direction, stick with it, disable multiplayer

[hard relic]

i did

[solemn bane]

Go offline so you don't pick more bases up

[remote thunder]

yes, i got 5 out of each checkpoint, and another i found somewhere randomly

[solemn bane]

Oh, I noticed recently while testing something else I could put a geobay down AT the processing plant at the start. Dunno if that helps

[hard relic]

finally was able to

[stoic jay]

is it just me or anyone else have aproblem that scraps just shoot out randomly from the colossus?

[empty sapphire]

mine fly out if i go over a bump driving

[stoic jay]

ye same but its barely a bump and every few meters i need to stop and reload the scraps...

[remote thunder]

sounds like a bug

are you using mechanical legs or

I guess it's no man's box now.

Yea it fried my Xbox

Doesn’t work anymore

[remote thunder]

i'd suggest to power cycle it (unplug power cord for like 5minutes) then plug it back in and try again to see if it turns on

[fierce helm]

Done that over 100 yes

Times

[remote thunder]

ok then

[fierce helm]

The game literally fried my Xbox

😹😹😭

[gaunt ridge]

going to try to haul some trash for a 3rd time

hopefully theres still special trash left at the site

[fierce helm]

Yea idk what to do nms literally killed it

[gaunt ridge]

well fuck me i guess

theres nothing left here

[empty sapphire]

I always pack in as much as I can so that if I lose a few along the way I still have enough 😅

[gaunt ridge]

i reloaded an old save and am going back, if theres nothing here im quitting this shitty expedition for good

[empty sapphire]

I think I'm offline now and there's plenty of scrap and I don't see any other players around

[minor spindle]

when in the expedition do you get the new clothes

[shrewd sundial]

So, I made it to the step where it says I need to reach the first trash heap, but I'm not seeing any markers for it when I look around.

[signal kelp]

for phase 3 roadisgns. what structures am i supposed to go to. i have 4/6. but every one of them i go to it doesnt count it

Expedition 21: Roadsigns milestone not registering

If interacting with a undiscovered waypoint isn't working, the steps below worked for some players:

1. Be sure to have mp disabled
2. Save+return to main menu, load save, make sure to have the right milestone selected, interact again. If needed try to upload waypoint discovery.

Note: If still not working, wait for the next public patch, there's a fix for this on steam experimental branch atm.

To find more buildings, you can use your exocraft radar in the quick menu to scan for drop pods for example.

Going completely offline or firewall blocking the game would make every waypoint be uncharted, undiscovered.

Shared by: @remote thunder

Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

make sure you have the right milestone selected

then just radar scan for heap

[shrewd sundial]

I do, its the one that says to reach first trash heap in my log. Did scan, but I'm only seeing waste, no heap.

[empty sapphire]

Did you use the radar scan that comes up when you push down d-pad?

[shrewd sundial]

ya

[empty sapphire]

Oh that's weird

The scrap heaps are like a small blue symbol

[remote thunder]

i mean.. it's there for me

[shrewd sundial]

I shut it down for now. Going to go back and try again after dinner. I don't have a d-pad on my Quest controllers. Playing in VR, so things are a little different.

[empty sapphire]

It s the control to do a quick recharge or to access the in game camera

[shrewd sundial]

Just trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be looking for. The mission info isn't very clear.

I was doing the scan by pushing the left stick, guess I need to go into my quick menu and probably select the scan there.

[empty sapphire]

Yeah

[shrewd sundial]

Ok, thank you. I think that's what I was missing.

[empty sapphire]

I did the exact same thing right when I started lol

[shrewd sundial]

I forget about these things. Don't use them very often.

[empty sapphire]

Yeah. This expedition is a little unclear

[shrewd sundial]

It's kinda fun though. I'm enjoying it. Never really spent much time in the colossus before.

[empty sapphire]

It has been frustrating at times but I'm still playing it lol

It's nice to have a new experience in NMS

[gaunt ridge]

its about fucking time

only took 4 tries

[wanton delta]

How should I go about finding a place to spawn the geobay? Turn of multiplayer?

[solemn bane]

Go offline and go far away, or try it at the processing plant at the start, since that recently worked for me.

[wanton delta]

Ok

[jagged sedge]

I almost hated to get this one, lol

[lusty slate]

Noooo, the poor fauna

[jagged sedge]

I was mostly hitting those stupid sphere shaped ones - they so slooow

The harvest blade thing is amazing tho

[lusty slate]

Are there predators on the exped planet? I don't mind squishing them. 😛

[jagged sedge]

Hazardous flora better watch out for me now

[jagged sedge]

I don't remember any, I was mostly cursing the pirates that kept shooting at me

You haven't lived until you've chased a round scrap barrel down a mountainside

[lusty slate]

Already did that in main. I'm trying to get all the titles before doing the exped.

[gaunt ridge]

i will say, ramming through everything was pretty fun after the hell this expo gave me first

[jagged sedge]

I think I'm pretty much done with it, myself -

[smoky trail]

ok so yeah you need to find a waste processing plant then use the gravino coil to move some scrap onto that plate that sells them then use the terminal and you get the flatbed

[median sparrow]

I must have hit a bug. I read someone say you can just process all the special waste at once. Did I need to select the next tier on the expedition because only of the 21 I put in, I only got credit for 5.

[lilac pilot]

Any tips for what i should bring on the new expedition?

[solemn bane]

I read someone say you can just process all the special waste at once.

Not if you want creit for the 16/16/16 milestones

[solemn bane]

Nothing, you can't get it.

[lilac pilot]

Cant get it? So there arent any mats i should bring for it at all?

[solemn bane]

Correct, you cannot access them until you're done with the exp

[rain stream]

Unless your ship bugged during step 3 for you and allowed you access you your ship when you were trying to summon your exocraft

I had my ship available from step 3 til finish, and it made getting to waste piles SO easy

[frosty zodiac]

welp gla that nightmare is over

glad

[median sparrow]

Today I learned the colossus can "hop"?

Also, being able to laser your own scrap is the dumbest thing I've seen so far. I can't fire my exo laser because it immediately hits my scrap

[proper flume]

Feels more like a camera placement issue or something.

[median sparrow]

The one exploded and just sent 20 spilling down a hill lol

I'm not going down to ghet them. I'm gonna sit up here angry about it for a little bit. Let it stew.

[dawn quail]

This expedition keeps crashing my xbox

This expedition was made by masocists

Bro it’s reverting my settings

[vital aspen]

Is landing gear bugged currently? I can't land my ship

[eager flame]

I finished the expedition but don’t have the flatbed in the customization menu

[eager flame]

Yeah happened to me, I found an outpost with a landing pad and that let me land

[median sparrow]

I will say though, the blade attatchment makes driving the colussus so much more useful

[scarlet relic]

I wonder when an update will come out that fixes the waypoint mission

[quartz salmon]

can i find this last one in one of the random sites or do i have to go back to a trash heap

[median sparrow]

You can probably find it randomly.

[median sparrow]

Can confirm you can find it randomly.

[sick sand]

Can I join someone’s group my game is crashing every time I load in

[knotty tangle]

You can find it randomly, yes, but ping a heap site and you'll me more likely to find one.

Also I completed the Expedition.

[median sparrow]

I'm on the hunt for the last mineral

[queen crystal]

You unlock it once you go to a scrap yard.

[eager flame]

Makes sense. Thanks!

[queen crystal]

There’s some really cool upgrades once you deposit a certain amount of scrap. But it sorta ruins the original loop. More convenient though.

[fast plaza]

hey is t here any other waste disposal places on the expedition planet?

[remote thunder]

try checking terrain patches like this

[remote thunder]

yep, several

[fast plaza]

ok cool.. radar keeps showing me the same one i started out.. maybe i am not close enough

[remote thunder]

maybe try to save+restart game completely, then try scanning again

[sick sand]

Can I join someone’s group please where I’m at my game keeps crashing

[remote thunder]

hey, did you manage to find someone? try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades (sorry, i'm not in game)

oops, sorry for the late reply

[median sparrow]

Good call on the giant worm tracks

Oh noo....

I tried to put scrap into my vehicle, it clipped under and everytthing just went glitch city.

[sick sand]

Turn off multiplayer

[lofty sandal]

im finally almpst dome with the expedition

i have no issues at all with thr expedition and im on xbox

[median sparrow]

Outside of the gravity coil being silly. i'm having no issues.

I don't play on multiplayer.

12 minute drive, none of this will probably make it.

[fast plaza]

hah! .. anybody else use the bunny hop to even out your load?

[vital aspen]

Does scrap have a visible planet scan marker like corvette salvage?

[median sparrow]

Yes

I usually just yolo the loads lol.

[fast plaza]

like that mythbusters episode where they had a bunche of glasses with water in a car over bumps fast vs slow xD

[inland mango]

Holy bro 💔

[median sparrow]

Don't worry.

4 minutes, in and I hit something, it's all gone.

[split rune]

I guess it's somewhat comforting that it's not just me? 2 minutes to the depot on a 14-minute drive, hit an invisible something and everything just launched out of the truck and despawned. 🙁

[paper viper]

yo look at this lmfao 🤣

[old dew]

I cannot get past the first roadtrip mission. I bring the special scrap, process it, and it acts like I haven't done it yet

[paper viper]

https://youtube.com/shorts/BDrs4ri-Sms?si=9ulyMEH6Jk2w_N06

click it an lol

[fast plaza]

rofl i saw that earlier xD i felt that

[solemn bane]

Are you auto scrapping at the console?

[rancid beacon]

guys how to reset the waste heap to spawn more toxic waste?

[split rune]

I have been noticing that many of the objectives (especially the "Reach the waypoint") will not trigger unless I have that objective selected in the expedition log.

[median sparrow]

Also, do all the check point ones first

Because holy.

[paper viper]

i have been playing my race sim

also it’s my bday 🙂

[wise cape]

happy birthday!

[paper viper]

thank you! and happy valentine’s day!

[old dew]

Yes

@solemn bane Yes I am. Am I supposed to bring it someplace else?

[solemn bane]

You need to sort and scrap it in the correct station. The icons match the ones on the scrap

[split rune]

just on the other side of the scale there are three separate stations to put the cargo in. explosive on the right, radioactive in the middle, toxic on the left (have to lob those high)

[fast plaza]

I must know how much made it xD

[median sparrow]

None.

[fast plaza]

ouch lol

[median sparrow]

Apparently there are no brakes.

[old dew]

Ah. User Error

womp womp

[median sparrow]

So once you get going, that's it.

[old dew]

Thank you kind sir, I was going nuts

[fast plaza]

i found the reverse works..

its rb on my controller

[median sparrow]

Yeah, we were going mach jesus.

[fast plaza]

welp thatll do it xD

[median sparrow]

It was more so just kinda brace and let things happen

The way nature intended.

[rancid beacon]

anyone?

[split rune]

Save, quit to desktop, reload not doing it?

[rancid beacon]

yea

[split rune]

idk what else, except there are reportedly several salvage stations and waste heaps all over the planet, maybe try to find another one? Re-scanning always seems to point me to the same one though 🙁

[rancid beacon]

yeah same, i cant find new waste heap

last 2 milestone

[split rune]

turn multiplayer off, save, restart? (or toggle MP on/off) can't say for sure on this issue but it's fixed a lot of Exped glitches in the past

[rancid beacon]

okay ill try that

[halcyon rose]

Aren't we supposed to be getting an incinerator of some kind on our Colossus?

[rustic turtle]

Any1 has the portal address of the expedition planet?

[rancid beacon]

thanks! it respawn new toxic waste now :))

[split rune]

Phase 5 "Field Guide" milestone is not advancing for me at all. I get the pop-up that says "All creatures discovered!" and it shows 6/6 on the left-hand side of the screen in the log, but 0/6 in the details. This is the last milestone I need 🙁

[rancid beacon]

open analysis mode and try to aim to any creatures

[split rune]

they're all green and won't scan

[rancid beacon]

It happened to me too I just open analysis mode and aim at any creature

[keen belfry]

Upload your findings

[keen belfry]

I was stuck on that too, but I went in and uploaded my findings and it completed it.

[split rune]

I have uploaded everything and it's still not progressing. Submitted a ticket 🙁

[rustic turtle]

I ask again, any1 got the portal address of the expedition planet?

[heady pilot]

If you're on the expedition save the colossus will crawl so you'd be surprised how little you're lose when your colossus can't go fast. It took forever but I lost almost nothing in expedition. My main save colossus can speed and fly like a demon so trying to go slow with it can be tricky.

[halcyon rose]

Even though I installed them after completing the expedition, mods saved my sanity. Specifically mods that keep the things from jostling, higher truckbed walls, and brighter headlights.

[rustic turtle]

Nvm
Ended looking it up
Found it

[flint ledge]

This planet does not have a lot of places with waypoint beacons. This is so painful without a ship
