nms-expedition

[cunning shuttle]

Yeah, thats what it looks like I will have to do.

[odd hatch]

its really only an issue on expeditions.

[tough wyvern]

id like to correct myself and say that gold can be made in the tefiner with mordite from wildlife and pugneum from sentinels

[rancid shard]

I need to see a Gek with a trucker hat.

[cunning shuttle]

Ive completed the last few expeditions and I think they didnt realize what would happen by, pretty much, stranding everyone on planet

[odd hatch]

yeah the build mechanics need to be examined when they pack us all together.

[jagged spruce]

I think we need truck simulator players to experience this

are there different servers? cuz I didn't have this problem

[cinder marsh]

i just did it thank you very much

[jagged spruce]

imagine bigger exocrafts with interiors

or moving storage units with the flatbed

[wild narwhal]

Guys I did it! Finished the expedition, got the new pants, and painted on the new decal!

[jagged spruce]

got any tips?

[cinder oxide]

I just want to give a bit of a PSA, the expedition becomes way more difficult with the engine upgrades to the vehicle xD

[odd hatch]

lol more difficult? why?

[wild narwhal]

Use the save beacon for restore points... Sometimes better than chasing your crap down a mountain

[cinder oxide]

The acceleration is way too rough for the round barrels with S tier engine upgrades.

[odd hatch]

LOL

haha

[cinder oxide]

so I have to be even more careful when driving now

[jagged spruce]

what phase do you get S tier engine

[cunning shuttle]

I didnt have a problem setting up my youngest on the PC who is now having a blast driving the truck. On the xbox… i just turned off wifi so the bases dont come back

[odd hatch]

i ahd a thought, like theres no roads but we supposed to drive careful wtf

[cinder oxide]

I don't know, I did all the driving quests first, did not do them in order

I think the S tier I might have got after destination 4 or something, but you still have to complete a lot of toxic/nuclear or explosive runs after that

[odd hatch]

can i just strap my laod down ffs

[cinder oxide]

I still need to find 7 radioactive waste...

[jagged spruce]

front tracks or rear tracks?

[cinder oxide]

I use front, not sure if it actually matters

[jagged spruce]

well I think it's like FWD vs RWD

or it doesn't matter at all and it's cosmetic idk

[odd hatch]

its 8wd tho

cosmetic i bet.

[jagged spruce]

idk if it's cosmetic or actually functional

[odd hatch]

its slow as dirt anyway

[timber dagger]

so this bugged out for me
i scanned every creature and it just reset
am i screwed out of this milestone permanently now

[cinder oxide]

go into the discovery page and submit the research

[wild narwhal]

Gotta go to the discoveries page and turn it in

[timber dagger]

huh

[cinder oxide]

I did that mistake as well

[timber dagger]

weird

the thing should just tell you about the discovery page

i never knew about this lol

[grave helm]

What happens if I use a portal to the expedition coordinate?

[timber dagger]

anyway thanks

[tame nacelle]

Waypoint gots on my Nerv. Scanned 10 and only 2 counted. Beside that having a blast with Expedition 🙂

[jagged spruce]

should've used volvo trucks, the colossus doesn't have enough torgue

[odd hatch]

probably become atlas or somthing.

[cinder oxide]

mine is flying right now, this is insane, I put 3 engine upgrades rank S in the boosted slots and I have trouble staying still

[molten raptor]

Is anyone on Xbox still getting lots of freezes/crashes? it’s so frustrating 😓

[odd hatch]

thats what happens whene verything is an xbox

[molten raptor]

I’ve been on the first phase for the last 3 days bc I keep freezing

[odd hatch]

im stuck on first phase because some asshole refuses to strap my loads down.

[somber marlin]

Question, should I be doing anything else after I finished every expedition mission? I see people still playing and everything after they unlock their ships so I’m just curious if there’s anything extra I should do before I actually finish the expedition or if I just leave it open in case I wanna do anything else?

[timber dagger]

pc here, big drop in performance when using the exocraft scan

otherwise it runs at a smooth 60 and above

[cinder oxide]

Remember back in the days when owning a console usually means the game was optimized on run? 😄

[odd hatch]

tooot toooot

[untold ether]

Finally finished oml,,

Had to scour for 1 explosive barrel

[cinder oxide]

As someone who works in the game dev space, this is something that has always turned me out from console gaming in the most recent years, it's basically better to just buy a PC and run steam with big picture mode, much like the ROG handhelds

[white bronze]

has there been any fixes for the road signs quest glitches

[cinder oxide]

I've only managed to gather 2 so far, even though I've pressed more.

[white bronze]

same

I’m stuck at 2

only thing stopping me from expedition completion

[untold ether]

So ive found that once you finally receive your ship you can visit the other planets and those waypoints seem to work

[white bronze]

wdym finally receive ship

don’t you have to compete expedition for that

or?

[cinder oxide]

I just pressed another checkpoint, no progress

maybe I need to turn off multiplayer

[harsh yew]

how did you find your ship?

[cinder oxide]

I think the ship is after the expedition

[untold ether]

I was able to get mine i think after you visit the last trash heap?

[harsh yew]

I am about to drive two hours to a trade station

[white bronze]

ah ok

[untold ether]

Dont bother, you cant buy ships

[harsh yew]

but I earend 12 million units

can I fix a crasehd ship?

[untold ether]

Now my main save keeps crashing :']

It just hard rebooted my Xbox LOL

[timber dagger]

yeah the waypoints only half work for me either

i need 2 more and the closest settlement is 3 hours away in exo

[cunning shuttle]

Same here. Bout 10 mins ago

[shut scroll]

No matter what I do, no matter how many bases I report, with multiplayer off, and with my etherent fully unplugged I cannot build the exocraft station anywhere on the surface of the planet, am i just cooked?

[untold ether]

You genuinely have to travel a distance

OK NMS is literally unplayable I keep crashing on my MAIN

[icy laurel]

nope, trying to make a corvette is also impossible

[frank galleon]

Was right nesr the start point for me but no marker. Managed to get it flying too but definitely not intended for the exp

[dusk arch]

any workarounds for the Road Signs mission glitch where it wont record your waypoints?

[odd hatch]

my poor right stick difting 🙁

[languid jacinth]

My difficulty is finding all the special waste

[worthy sluice]

i was 3 toxic waste short of completing the toxicity milestone, but the nearest waste heap didnt have any more, and i cant find any laying aorund. I even flew to the oppositie side of the planet (because for some strange reason i found a working hauler before i finished the expedition? idk) and reloaded a restore point but it still pings the same waste heap.......... what am i to do

[cinder oxide]

I am in the process of trying to find the radioactive waste, and they only have like 2 on each waste plant...

[worthy sluice]

same for waste processing plants

they only ping the same ones

i finished road trip 5 btw

[cinder oxide]

same

[left socket]

Anyone know why when I was logging back in some of the debris would refresh?

[cinder oxide]

I did all the roadtrips first to get engine upgrades, so at least I am zoomin' now

[worthy sluice]

im boutta fly to another planet and get waste there ong

[frank galleon]

Dont forget to scan for random waste. Some pf it has special waste

[cinder oxide]

?!

What?!

[worthy sluice]

i know but i havent found a single piece of toxic waste in them

[left socket]

I didn't exactly track which did and didn't, i just chucked it into the recycler

[worthy sluice]

what am i to do about it only pinging the same waste heap on the other side of the planet

[frank galleon]

I dropped save beacons at each waste heap and color coded them. Once i got all the waste i needed from that one, i removed the beacon

[worthy sluice]

little late for that

[quartz tulip]

Anyone figure tricks driving this truck and not loosing all waste lol

[worldly salmon]

this expo is the worst thing they have ever done, and hello games should be ashamed of this effort.

[frank galleon]

Pretend you are carrying dynamite in the back. Slow and steady, and take different (smoother) routes.

And fwiw, i have better luck with a full bed, so i put all the important stuff first, then stack junk on it

[shrewd onyx]

Slow down over bumps, and destroy or avoid those dangerous plants – I'm finding that it's mostly those which send the cargo flying.

(It's odd: they get destroyed when driven over when carrying nothing…)

[gleaming solar]

ROADTRIP WORKY?

[frank galleon]

Oh also, ignore the legs upgrade until after the exp

[cinder oxide]

okay, that tip of checking random waste on the way back from destinations made the toxic waste gathering much easier.

[frank galleon]

Collision is dumb af with legs for some reason

[opaque cosmos]

thats becuse you are lol

[gleaming solar]

Avoid bumping into stuff

[shrewd onyx]

Well… it's already loose…

[quartz tulip]

lol well just saying should be able use both trucks 🙂

[opaque cosmos]

isnt is just same as wheeles

[frank galleon]

For some reason it lowers collision hitbox for things like dihydrogen crystals, which makes those a minefield

[opaque cosmos]

there should also be an idle animation so the legs go on the ground

[opaque cosmos]

okkkkk

[shrewd onyx]

Fun bits: while loading up, your colossus suddenly moves off at speed, and the cargo goes flying… definitely a collision/physics problem.

[alpine flint]

anyone else not getting the find creature progress any work arounds?

[opaque cosmos]

so thats why is diserpired..

[odd hatch]

man fuck these fucking caves.

[shrewd onyx]

Discoveries. Register.

[opaque cosmos]

fr fr

[odd hatch]

why the fuck does the planet to drive carefully on have tiny cave holes to flip your whole fuckin exo into a position that you cant even drive it.

[alpine flint]

already did its not working

[opaque cosmos]

english 100 💯

[cinder oxide]

Where do I even get those mechanical legs? I don't see it as a reward anywhere...

[noble flax]

sorry for the stupid quesiton but I cant seem to find it: whats the end date of the expedition ?

[alpine flint]

ill try a reset see if that works

[cinder oxide]

I think it was about 3 weeks left? I might be terribly wrong on this though

might be 6, it's more than 3 at least xD

[tender tusk]

Current Expedition run time is Six weeks

[noble flax]

ok thanks 🙂

[oak marten]

Expidition wasnt bad, it was fun with the only complaints being all the random bases(basically griefing) and the flat beds bounce box, hopefully they add more chassis

[devout garden]

Is it possible to reset scanned fauna?

[odd hatch]

man wtf you cant even get the fuckin scrap out of the cave?

[cinder oxide]

oh yeah, the small objects clip through the collision box when driving fast

[odd hatch]

absolutely shit expedition.

[frank galleon]

Did you scan on foot instead of exo?

[devout garden]

I did lol

[oak marten]

I did rhe foot scan, and was able to get it by claiming it in the fauna discoveries

[devout garden]

I scanned well before I realized. Just force of habit

[frank galleon]

I think when you get to phase 5, you can use your ship to go to another planet and scan from the exo there. Or maybe that other milestone completes it idk

[devout garden]

Sweet

[frank galleon]

Fwiw, i managed to summon my ship to a landing pad kind of early on, so ive managed to go to other planets before i turned in scrap from the 2nd heap

[oak marten]

Lucky you, i had to get phase 5, but stayed in the planet for the way points, the hardest one for me lol

[frank galleon]

This is my 2nd run on the expo. I went to all the heaps early on, which was weirdly benecificial. All the Road Trip milestones completed at the same time.

[devout garden]

If you turn off mulitiplayer no bases load

[odd hatch]

man fuck this waste.

[oak marten]

Yea i even turned off wifi, and i think i played to much, i had to go far far lol

[cinder oxide]

oh, finally got my ship...

now I just need to repair it

[frank galleon]

When i summoned it to a pad, it fixed itself enough to fly

[oak marten]

Should have enough resources and repair kits

[cinder oxide]

O.o

[oak marten]

Mine did too, everything but the storage

[frank galleon]

Yeah idk, probably unintended haha

[cinder oxide]

well then

[jagged spruce]

why are there mining lasers shooting everywhere

[odd hatch]

the whole expedition is shit that why

[jagged spruce]

and why are they shooting near me

[cinder oxide]

huh, I can't even build a pad, how did you end up getting that?

[frank galleon]

I found one at a transmission tower

Used nav data to summon

I think the exo can scan for other buildings iirc

[devout garden]

Do abandoned buildings have landing pads?

[frank galleon]

Multiplayer enabled? Try disabling

[frank galleon]

They shouldnt, but in some cases do

On this planet, likely not

[cinder oxide]

oh lol, I could just summon it using X and then I could fly

[devout garden]

I have one 12mins away, trade post is an hour.

[jagged spruce]

what exocraft is that big?

[odd hatch]

the one you are in m8

[jagged spruce]

but it's like way bigger

[odd hatch]

not with the other tbody.

its identical.

[jagged spruce]

how did they make the geobay so big

[lyric roost]

Expedition complete, 3 hours and 42 minutes

[quartz tulip]

can only find 6 minerals

[frank galleon]

Looks almost like they scale glitched it

[cinder oxide]

There is an upside down stone in the caves that you might have missed

[devout garden]

Would it be worth taking the hour to get to the trade post and just buy a ship?

[quartz tulip]

ok havent seen it will look more in depth thank you

[frank galleon]

Even when i had my ship, i still couldnt buy one

Same for crashed ships.

[quartz tulip]

you get rocket trade later like thanks dont need this much now

[devout garden]

So the devil thought of that lol

Devs*

[white bronze]

when do I get to use my ship

[odd hatch]

never

this is trash expedition

literally.

[white bronze]

someone said they got theirs

so how tf do I do road signs lmao

nothing in the planet works

[odd hatch]

i told you it is trash.

the whole expedition

[white bronze]

🙏devs bro why are we doing

[odd hatch]

devs are cooked

"minecraft" as a milestone just prooves it.

love the game but slowly drive around for 3 hours is a waste of time.

[white bronze]

also how does transfer work do all my modifications on the collosus transfer to my main save

[white bronze]

fr dawg

brain dead expedition

[frank galleon]

Dismantle the mods and send them back. It shouldnt affect your exo in your main save.

[odd hatch]

why tf is the waste so far from the damn facility.

[frank galleon]

Saved configs might stay though

[white bronze]

what about visual

[frank galleon]

See saved config comment. I dont think the current config transfers either

[white bronze]

how tf would I even get to the anomaly

[frank galleon]

At the end, you fly your ship to space

Or sooner than that, some of us found ways

[white bronze]

ah ok thanks

[odd hatch]

omfg

i left my other 5 fucking waste in the cave.

FUCK

[grave helm]

Guys I can't find more than 5 minerals

Help

[severe rivet]

Is there anything you can do it discovered the animals but not in the exocraft 😬 am I screwed

[grave helm]

I even checked a cave, but I found a single type of mineral there, which I already had

[odd hatch]

i discovered all my animals outside of exo

[frank galleon]

There are two giant rocks, then a giant tree looking rock, then 2 in the caves, then 1 in the weird tunnel path terrain

[tender tusk]

You can do it on foot doesn't necessarily need to be in the exocraft

[grave helm]

The ones in the open I've got all

[severe rivet]

It's saying I've to discover 2

[white grove]

Have you checked the dark line that looks like a road or riverbed?

The small rocks in there have 2 types

[worldly salmon]

after you finish phase 5 you get access to your ship (regardless of phase 1 -4 being unfinished) can leave the planet and find 2 more

[white grove]

It won't let me REFUEL my ship though

[frank galleon]

I didnt even finish phase 5 and managed to get access. I think it was just the road trip milestones

[severe rivet]

@worldly salmon ah thank you phew

[odd hatch]

well wtf

the waste site doesnt have any fuckin special waste?

how do i get 5 more pieces?

[white grove]

Scan for a new site and check piles along the way

[odd hatch]

FUCK this sucks.

i literaly jsut scanned for a site and it sent me here.

for nothing.

[tawny badger]

Sorry if it’s been asked a bunch, but how often does the specialized scrap respawn?

[tender tusk]

that's what i did but it still kind of sucked

[odd hatch]

mids

where the fucking devs at

@devs come take this fuckin criticism

[frank galleon]

Not sure, but check the random scrap on the ground. Sometimes it has specialized stuff

[odd hatch]

man when i scan for waste heap its the same one im fuckin at

[quartz tulip]

Chart Waypoints isnt that just saving beacon? I have used everyone

[wraith venture]

@odd hatch Cut out the drama. Devs are not here.

[tawny badger]

Ty for the tip 🙂

[wraith venture]

the real george orwell wouldnt stand for this

#nms-expedition message

[jagged sedge]

Make sure you have the proper mission active, if you don't you may get an older ping

[jagged spruce]

do sentinels count as creatures? I'm missing one and I can't find it

[jagged sedge]

The sneaky one comes out at night

[split rune]

There is one (the last one, I think) that mostly only comes out at night

[remote thunder]

(did you check its spawn criteria/conditions in discoveries/planet/fauna view?)

[grave helm]

Holy fuckin shit I just want the spider legs. Where the hell are those 2 minerals

[tender tusk]

yeah the eye tentacle thing that comes up from the ground and moves is nocturnal

[jagged spruce]

mostly nocturnal

[remote thunder]

try spots like

[grave helm]

They Aren't on sight and they also aren't under ground

[grave helm]

You're talking about the little rocks

[lilac wave]

in the dried up river beds

[grave helm]

Thank you bro it was the little rocks

[white grove]

So I've interacted with like 20 waypoints and it still says I've only found 4

[jagged spruce]

uh problem, field guide reset after I scanned all the creatures

[white grove]

It's my LAST TAST before I finish

[ancient pier]

I had to be offline for them to count

[jagged spruce]

I scanned all creatures, scanned the last two in the colossus and it reset the counter for field guide

[white grove]

Someone suggested that yesterday, it's how I went from 2 to 4

[split rune]

have you uploaded your discoveries?

[ancient pier]

Oh then past that unsure

Sorry

[white grove]

Do waypoints on other planets work?

[jagged spruce]

oh there we go, I just pressed register for completion

[cinder oxide]

oh sweet, the only thing I got left is to beat up bots and gather balls.

[jagged spruce]

why do you have to go to the monolith?

[winter tartan]

why is nothing going in the flatbed?

I've tried breaking and rebuilding my geobay, i've tried resetting the customization, i've tried relogging, completely restarting the game, even fully reinstalled, and I can't progress in the expedition at all because everything refuses to actually get into the flatbed

It's like my vehicle's collision is still stuck with the default chassis or something?

[remote thunder]

are you using any mods

[remote thunder]

yeah def looks like it

[winter tartan]

i... don't actually know

I usually do, but I thought I turned all that off because new update

lemme double check that to be sure

[remote thunder]

make sure. go to game install folder, gamedata, mods folder - cut&paste it elsewhere; then go game install folder\binaries\settings\, delete gcmodsettings.mxml

[split rune]

Well, I finished the expedition, and built a corvette with a low deck and ramp so it's easy to drive a Colossus up onto it... but am sad to report that when the corvette launches, the Colossus just clips through and doesn't come with. 🙁 Also, individual salvage loaded into a corvette likewise just clips through when the ship launches. Oh, well 🙁 So much for providing a taxi service for fellow explorers.

[remote thunder]

i knew about the waste not staying inside the corvette, but i didnt think of getting an entire colossus in there

😄

[split rune]

Not so much in it, as on it, but yeah. womp womp

[remote thunder]

toot toot

[jagged spruce]

one day

but where is this last mineral formation

it was this tiny little rock..

[remote thunder]

try <#nms-expedition message> -

lol, yeah, exact same kind of spot

[jagged spruce]

do you really have to go to every structure to the save thing

that takes like an hour

[white grove]

For all you completionists and "challenge accepted" players...

I found 9 minerals

[jagged spruce]

no thanks

how do you do "road signs"?

[random torrent]

Just finished. By FAR the least amount of fun I've had playing any videogame in as far as I can remember. I feel like I should have been paid for that

[crude bison]

Go offline and complete it

[winter tartan]

This did the trick, thank you kindly~

I cleared my mod manager after updating, but the mods were still installed, whoops.

I took an extra step to make some educated guesses and narrowed down exactly which mod was causing the issue, even;

For the sake of others who like mods; Exocraft Speeds x3, by TwistedViking on NexusMods, is currently preventing waste from entering the Colossus' flatbed, and blocks progress through seemingly most of the expedition. (URL did not disable, rip)

[remote thunder]

thank you for investigating into it even sharing back. have fun

[winter tartan]

Gonna try, I'm a bit enthusiastic about what this update might mean further down the line, and didn't want the expedition to leave a sour feeling, so I'm glad for the help - even if it was a simple fix

[devout mountain]

Stuck on expedition. Need 2 toxic barrels. Only waste heap I can find has one explosive barrel. Am I soft locked out of the expedition? I can't find any other waste heaps

[rapid basalt]

seach the whole planet or smth ig

dont take tips from me that just felt like the most logical say😔

[pulsar sparrow]

Can you not land a ship on the expedition planet?

[remote thunder]

just do wider search circles, use visor to preferably locate specialist industrial waste

[jagged spruce]

they should've let you use a roamer as well

at the very least

running would be faster were it not for stamina

[devout mountain]

Like I said, the only site that shows up with the scanner has one explosive barrel. Even if I'm on the other side of the planet, it points to the same site

[hidden merlin]

does cargo despawn if you leave it ?

[jagged spruce]

so disabling multiplayer, saving and reloading the save does not remove bases

[jagged spruce]

not sure but I think mine did disappear from the scanner

[remote thunder]

it should stay, at least in the same session, but not 100% sure - i returned to a few sites i hadnt collected it all and stuff was still there

[winter tartan]

I had to report legitimately every single base before I could mine any emeril or pyrite, or place a geobay - your quick menu should make this easy, though still tedious and a solid 10-20 minute endeavour...

[white bronze]

I forgot to grab the modules before I ended expedition, where can I get flatbed?

[gaunt ridge]

does this thing reset everytime you switch to a different mission or close the game?

because i've charted 2

[white bronze]

most of them don’t work on the expedition planet wait till you get your ship and do it on another planet

[jagged spruce]

this is the buggiest event ever

[jagged spruce]

you need to find a waste processing plant first

[slow drum]

Is there anything that can be done to reduce the crashes on Xbox? It has been giving me a really hard time. I feel like I'm in one of those "Difficulty" skits where I breathe too hard and get disconnected.

[jagged spruce]

and then you unlock the furnace by getting total value of 3000 nanite from recycling I think

also fun fact you don't need to get the B-class radar upgrade, the A-class already unlocks all the scan options from the B-class upgrade

it could be a bug or whatever but that is how it works for now

[jagged lake]

Can anyone help me get back to the salvage plant? I accidentally teleported myself about an hour away and dont have a ship

[magic tundra]

Godspeed and good luck.

[jagged lake]

Guess i just gotta keep driving

[final fossil]

I haven't found my ship yet

[gaunt ridge]

these pathways are a blessing

[white bronze]

Complete phase 5

[final fossil]

Gotcha

[proven kindle]

Has this happen to anyone here where you go get the waste you need and as your of depositing it someone takes it for themselves

[jagged lake]

turn off multiplayer

[final fossil]

I turned of multiplayer to avoid that

[gaunt ridge]

i got a thing where the pieces just vanish

[solar sable]

Is this expedition limited to a single planet? I've discovered 5/6 creatures on a starting planet without a truck and I'm stucked in this step

[gaunt ridge]

once you get your starship you can go to a different one

[solar sable]

Fun expedition, I feel like playing No Man's Snowrunner

[slow drum]

I'm gonna take the silence as a "No there is no hope for fixing an Xbox that tends to crash when you sneeze."

Guess I'll just deal with it.

[remote thunder]

if you can/if they're available, try to change options/graphics settings/graphics priority to frame rate or quality, see if any of them get you better results in terms of stability

[slow drum]

Thanks. I'll give that a shot.

[void sigil]

hi, any tips for finding undiscovered minerals?

or just

[austere wave]

So currently in a bit of a bind. I need to get back over to that base but have no other fast ways of getting back (because let's face it the Colossus ain't no spring chicken) no over bases near by with teleporters, can't by a ship (won't let me) and nothing showing on the radar about the ship you usually get at the start.

Am I just going to have to manually travel back and die of old age by the time I get there or is there anything I can do to make it faster than about a hour and a half (roughly guessing)

[coarse aspen]

One tip re: undiscovered minerals: those ravine/trench things have teeny little rocks I haven't seen anywhere else

So apparently the rendezvous points don't count as "waypoints" for Roadsigns. The only thing I know of so far that does are abandoned buildings which I've found a total of ONE of. Anyone have any luck otherwise on this one?

[glossy plume]

tried drop pods?

[alpine flint]

those worked for me

[coarse aspen]

Not yet but thanks--I think when I found one it was far away enough for me to pick something else lol

[glass tusk]

How far from spawn do I have to go to be able to place something 😭

[final fossil]

If you're placing the colossus, you can do it at the waste disposal place

[tough wyvern]

just finish the rest of the expedition, you get your ship, then fly low while using the scanner to find structures

[glass tusk]

.

Thank you

[final fossil]

No problem, I ran around for like 5 minutes trying to place it

[glass tusk]

Yeah I lost it now

[jagged spruce]

eh just wait till you get a ship

[jagged spruce]

does the phase 5 waste milestones need to be naturally spawning or does waste heaps count

blue

[glass tusk]

sigh

[glass tusk]

Too lazy to screenshot

[final fossil]

Rip, safe travels

[jagged spruce]

I'm almost done

2 more trips

I'm taking all the S and A tier modules with me (if I can)

[wise forge]

So,I've already discovered all the animals on this planet save for one,but I'm at the milestone in phase 3 where I have to discover them from the exocraft. Am I screwed here?

[final fossil]

I discovered all the animals from my visor and it still counted

[wise forge]

Hasn't for me.

[final fossil]

Is it to log the fauna or run over fauna?

[wise forge]

Log the fauna. It says Discover Creatures from an Exocraft: 0/2

And I can't scan creatures I've already scanned with my visor,so I don't really know what to do about this

[thick umbra]

From cwmonkey in the Pins :
If you can't to complete the "Safari" milestone, try discovering all the species on the planet AND uploading them in the Discoveries tab. If that doesn't work you can do the following (PC only):
Follow the SEASON_DATA_CACHE.JSON cach file instructions above, but instead search for "^SCAN_EXOCRE" and replace "Amount":2, with "Amount":0,

[wise forge]

Thx,that did it!

[coarse aspen]

Not sure if anyone who finished this would be hanging out in here in the first place, but...do you get to keep your Colossus once this is over?

[jagged spruce]

why would you?

[thick umbra]

If the exp converts to a normal save .. everything goes with you... if you did start exp in a new save

[jagged spruce]

colossus is easy to get, and flatbed and furnace are also easy to get

I think you can take the modules tho

[coarse aspen]

I know, just the whole expedition is you and your Colossus

I guess Large Marge 2.0 it is when it's over lol

[stuck apex]

I have a question my dudes. I see there's a new feature added since I last did expeditions; starting them from an existing save. That being said, which items from the current Expedition should I transfer with the expedition terminus? Are they all obtainable outside of expedition, or are any of the rewards not?

[flint ledge]

They fix that waypoint bug yet?

[coarse aspen]

Ohh that's a bug??

I figure it'd have to be, I've clicked like 15 of the flippin things today

[wide tapir]

It worked for me today

[rapid flicker]

what's the heirloom set? cuz it feels i still didn't get it on my main save despite getting everything else

[coarse aspen]

The drop pod I went to did NOT move my number

[wide tapir]

I had to finish everything except that step then use the starship to fly around and get them

[solemn bane]

Nothing unique I saw. You can take the tech modules, probably the most "exciting" stuff.

[solemn bane]

Unlock at the quicksilver vendor maybe?

e: Oh right, no need to unlock the cosmetics

[coarse aspen]

When do they let you have your starship??

[stuck apex]

thanks

[remote thunder]

i was automatically claimed for me in my main save - goto anomaly, quicksilver shop, collect exp rewards to double check - then check appearance modifier

[wide tapir]

When you finish stage 5

[coarse aspen]

Ohh

OK

[wide tapir]

Not finish but do the last 2 parts

[rapid flicker]

oh it's an exosuit appearance?

[wide tapir]

Like the waste area bits

[remote thunder]

yeah, so good

[jagged spruce]

just need phase 5 and I'm done

one last haul

[stuck apex]

Woah that helmet from expedition 16 is so awesome. Wish I had done it

[wide tapir]

I did them all at once because you only have to do 5 more special scrap from when you visit the waste dump so I went to all of them and only put 5 in and it finished all of them

[rapid flicker]

thanks! which race though?

[jagged spruce]

mechanical legs and asymmetrical cabin and the outfit are the only ones you can't unlock outside the expedition I think

[remote thunder]

i was able to use it with anomaly, but also seen gek use it

[stuck apex]

But it's not tech, so how do I transfer that?

[jagged spruce]

wdym

you unlock expedition rewards in all save I believe

but you can keep the modules if you want

S-tier is worth keeping

[stuck apex]

Oh nvm I found it at the QS vendor

[remote thunder]

phase and final expedition rewards are unlocked account wide, can be claimed once in any save under the same account from the quicksilver shop

[rapid flicker]

Thank you!

i found it

[remote thunder]

looks so good

so noble, so traveller like

[remote thunder]

camouflage finish also an exp21 only reward

[coarse aspen]

Yeah Road Signs has to be broken

[unkempt kraken]

@coarse aspen
-# to view info below, enable embeds

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.

[stuck apex]

Nice, I got 13.6m, 7400 nanites, and 600 QS for this

lovely, so much better than making new saves

[jagged spruce]

I wish people built bridges or flattened land to help instead of griefing

truly humanity at its finest

[signal bear]

How does one unlock the furnace module? I read it’s 25 explosive but I’ve done 35.

[magic notch]

Loaded by hand or did you use auto sort?

[signal bear]

By hand. A few may be auto sort (my first load I did the 5 by hand the auto sorted rest, but didn’t after that bc I seemed to get less nanites). The 35 is based on the secondary missions objective.
Just got the wheels at 75 scrap.

[halcyon rose]

I've been wracking my brains about that too

[golden harbor]

I just finish Field Guide in Phase 5 and i can't get the reward stating inventory full even tho all my inventory have slots open. Anyone know a fix?

[simple raptor]

200 total scrap

[blazing hatch]

Am I dense yet again, I can't find the 4th waste heap, I've been all over and used my scanner to find 5 or 6 of them and it's not advancing, am I some how just going back and forth to the same ones I've visited, or is it a specific one?

[simple raptor]

try scanning for heaps specifically with the checkpoint 4 milestone selected
itll show an expedition icon if its the right one

[split rune]

Make sure you have the milestone 4th waste heap selected as your current objective and re-scan. as with all expeditions, turning off multiplayer also can fix many bugs

[blazing hatch]

I'll give that a go, just turned it back on and let's see. I'm honestly miserable with this expedition lol just not having a great time over all lol

That was it! I had the street signs quest pinned, learning that ones bugged a bit so it's doing me dirty on two fronts lol

[brave iron]

Crashing ever 5 minutes on xbox after finishing expedition

[austere wave]

only 90 minutes of pure driving but finally made it back to some sort of civilization

[opal flint]

I ended up completing Roadsigns by disabling multiplayer, then just driving around (whilst looking for scrap), when I got the splash screen saying I'd discovered a new area, I found a waypoint in the locality and activated it.

[devout garden]

I messed up.

[signal bear]

Oh boy.

[rotund gazelle]

Yeowch

[split rune]

If you can text chat, see if someone with a ship can pick you up?

[opal flint]

Ah smeg, This is one expedition that seems to have a lot of gotchas, seems really easy to mess up on this one.

[devout garden]

Im playing with mp disabled coz im running 1.2mbps internet atm

[halcyon rose]

Is it a special kind of scrap [like explosive] or any scrap? How can I tell how many scrap I've take care of?

[rotund gazelle]

Or, try calling your ship since that can force it to be fixed?

[jagged spruce]

actually I think the people pointing mining laser at me were guiding me

[austere wave]

Don't worry you not the only one i just had to spend the last hour and a half just getting back to anywhere that had signs of life 😂

[devout garden]

I tried using the landing pad and it says launch truster damaged

[rotund gazelle]

Try summoning it from your utility menu

[devout garden]

Same thing

[rotund gazelle]

Hmm, they must have fixed that

I heard that it sometimes works

[umbral shell]

Friend of mine is having a hard time building a colossus bay, no editable surface due to multiplayer bases. Any advice on trying to stop them from showing up in the game instance?

[rotund gazelle]

Find the base computer and report it, that’ll remove it from your client

[jagged spruce]

you can get in ships?

I thought you can only get in corvettes

[solemn bane]

Doesn’t work anymore

[rotund gazelle]

After the 5th trash run

[rotund gazelle]

I did it yesterday?

[jagged spruce]

no I meant as a passenger

[halcyon rose]

I keep seeing conflicting ways to get the Furnace. Can someone please tell me THE way to get the furnace? I completed the Expedition, but it still shows up as locked under customization

[jagged spruce]

I didn't know ships had another seat

[devout garden]

Turn mp off

[solemn bane]

The computer goes away but you still can’t build

Tested it myself

[rotund gazelle]

Huh

[jagged spruce]

I think 3000 total nanite from collecting scraps (and you might have to do auto collect once)

[split rune]

it is just corvettes; sorry, I thought that was implied, my bad ^^;

[remote thunder]

disabling multiplayer can help, on foot quick menu/scroll right to report bases, report bases to make them despawn for you then save+reload but i'm afraid what wont return building permissions. you'd want to go full offline to prevent other player bases from downloading from the server. then you just need to keep walking till you find an area that doesnt have any

[halcyon rose]

I have 4000+ nanites earned @jagged spruce

[remote thunder]

this is the info i have on those unlocks:

[solemn bane]

When I tried yesterday, I was able to build it right next to the first processing plant maybe try that

[umbral shell]

Okay gotcha. They're feeling rather frustrated so hopefully they can get through it. Thank you all for your messages

[devout garden]

Is there a way to chat on ps5

[opal flint]

Just a point to note (if no-ones mentioned already), when you finish all the phases, don't collect the final expedition reward like I did. It stops you being able to return to primary save when you finally get back to the Expedition Terminal on the Anomoly. I ended up cashing in most of the stuff I'd put in to the terminal when starting the expedition, including technology I'd added, just so I could bring some stuff back.

Wait until you're back at the anolomy and have sorted your inventories out before claiming the final expedition reward.

[jagged spruce]

outside the expedition?

you have to do it outside the expedition

[remote thunder]

only voice chat basically, there's also voice to text which might require being in a group

[jagged spruce]

the furnace is not an expedition reward

[halcyon rose]

Okay thank you, gonna give that a go

[remote thunder]

should be able to return to primary by going options/return to primary

[devout garden]

Well, I got no nearby players anyway coz of my slow ass wifi. Looks like im driving the hour back

[opal flint]

Ah nice, didn't realise that thanks. I've only ever done it from the expedition terminal. Good to know for next time.

[austere wave]

Ok so everyone i've come across seems to have but i dont have one. When i first started the expedition my game crashed and when i reloaded it started me further from my start point so couldnt see a ship. Am i supposed to have one or did my game bug?

[remote thunder]

nah, you're fine, you wont be using your ship for now

[devout garden]

If i die, where do I spawn?

[remote thunder]

if you die on a planet, then you'll spawn on that planet

dont die a 2nd time before retrieving your grave

[devout garden]

Close to where I died?

[remote thunder]

should be close to where you spawn

[cerulean olive]

Done. That was a lot of driving...

[devout garden]

Im trying to find a way where it saves me driving an hour to get to the 3rd waste heap

[cerulean olive]

I never got a longer drive than 10 mins.

[devout garden]

I was a dumbass and went looking for a landing pad.....lol

[jagged spruce]

should I wait for toxic scrap to spawn or go back to a scrap heap

[cerulean olive]

A landing pad? For what? 😄

[devout garden]

Got sick of driving lol

[cerulean olive]

Scan the area while driving. Scrap shows up in a lot of places.

[jagged spruce]

well there are landing pads on top of the alien ruins, you just can't use it without a nav data

the monolith

[devout garden]

I have nav data

[cerulean olive]

I get that, but you can't spawn your ship til after the expedition is completed.

[jagged spruce]

how did you get nav data

[jagged spruce]

let him cook

[devout garden]

Well I didn't know that now did I 😂

[jagged spruce]

he got nav data in a place where he's not supposed to

you can try calling your ship at the monolith

[cerulean olive]

The ship is broken, so it won't come to you.

[jagged spruce]

I mean you can't transport scrap in a ship but y'know

[devout garden]

I got nav data within the first 20mins of starting this expedition

[river cedar]

I'm unable to build the exocraft station, keeps saying no edit permissions, even after exploring around a good bit to find an open spot - any idea why?

[solemn bane]

Don’t the waypoints all give you nav data?

[cerulean olive]

Turn off multiplayer.

[jagged spruce]

it's probably near a base computer

[devout garden]

The plan was to just fly to the spot, spawn the colossus and then drive back

[solemn bane]

See my pinned comment for some instructions.

[jagged spruce]

that actually doesn't do anything if you saved while in the multiplayer mode. the bases are still there

[remote thunder]

basically, uploaded base computers have like a 1000u build radius - so check on foot quick menu/scroll right/report base: do you see other bases on the list?

[cerulean olive]

Report them and they'll vanish into thin air.

[solemn bane]

Doesn’t work.

[river cedar]

Heading back to the processing plant now, I'll see if that works and if not go offline. Thanks!

[cerulean olive]

Works for me all the time.

[solemn bane]

Tried it yesterday after like ten people said it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work.

I assume it’s a big but we’ll see.

[cerulean olive]

Must admit, I had no need to do it. I always start in solo mode since a few expeds back.

[solemn bane]

Same, I did the exp offline, so I had to go test online to see for myself.

[cerulean olive]

This expedition is the easiest I've experienced so far. If the driving didn't take so long, it would be the shortest one too.

Still enjoyed it , though.

[devout garden]

Is there any launch glitches or speed or something. My wifi too shit to load anybody nearby

[candid panther]

i find the driving to be kind of therapeutic and a great environment to throw a podcast on for, but the physics absolutely ripped the enjoyment out of it

[jagged spruce]

yes it's easy but takes way too long

[fossil harness]

Im guessing the discover 6 wildlife is bugged too? Ive found all 6 but its 0/6.

[solemn bane]

It was F tier for me, and I have a feeling it’ll be regarded as the worst expedition, with nothing else ever coming close.

[candid panther]

you have to go to this menu and submit all your discoveries and claim the nanites

[solemn bane]

Upload in discoveries tab.

[fossil harness]

Ahhh thanks.

[cerulean olive]

The exocraft controls bug me a lot. I'd like them to accelerate and brake by using the triggers on the controller and steer with the left, like in just about every driving/race game I play .

[candid panther]

yeah camera controlled driving really irks me

[cerulean olive]

I've completed it in about 3,5 hours and didn't hurry it.

[devout garden]

Remap the controls then

[solemn bane]

If you hurry it, it takes longer

[jagged spruce]

this guy gave the best name. expedition 21: rock edition

[cerulean olive]

Can't remap movement to triggers on PS5.

[civic forge]

How do you get Paraffin?

[candid panther]

use pyrite + ferrite dust

i think thats how the game tells you to get the mats when focusing on that quest

[jagged spruce]

or you can find it on tropical planets

normally

[candid panther]

given the context of the expedition

[jagged spruce]

ok but mechanical legs getting suck on diohydrogen makes it kinda stupid

stuck

[cerulean olive]

They get stuck on a lot of stuff. Not the best option to use.

[jagged spruce]

but it's stable

[cerulean olive]

Drive slower for stability and choose your path well. I hade no trouble losing any scrap cargo.

[jagged spruce]

why did they add it if it's useless

it's actually worse

[cerulean olive]

They'll probably change the height some day.

[jagged spruce]

this is just death stranding except with no progression

[cerulean olive]

There is some progression. Scrap enough to unlock new parts and titles.

[devout garden]

I hope in future they add a module to carry scrap on ship. I dont mind this update, slows things down

[cerulean olive]

This single planet expedition feels like preparations for a single planet game gameplay; LNF.

[jagged spruce]

I went to a whole scrap heap for one toxic scrap

how am I gonna get 2 more before I lose my sanity

[cerulean olive]

Doubt it. Once everyone scrapped enough to unlock every new parts, they'll never touch the Colossus again for scrapping.

[solemn bane]

Adding a point to actually processing the scrap would be cool. I’m the expedition you get some great cosmetics. In the main game… ?

I had a blast collecting Corvette parts, and in the end I could use them to build friggin ships, lol. This has been such a huge miss comparatively.

[jagged spruce]

it's a decent way for getting nanite

[devout garden]

Testing ideas out on nms to gauge people reaction

[solemn bane]

I feel like just about any other method would be better and faster.

[cerulean olive]

I do derelict freighters for tainted metals and refine those to nanites. Gives you nice big hauls of 'em.

[jagged spruce]

I don't even know what methods there are tbh, like trading in data at anomaly and charting the save points?

[solemn bane]

Scrapping interceptors may be the fastest. I just like killing sentinels and selling the modules from the glass.

[jagged spruce]

how do you even start that mission

I notice that mission is started in the expedition

[jagged spruce]

do you know how to get solar glass

[solemn bane]

Selling banned modules from pirate systems is also good.

[cerulean olive]

Sell tech to the tech merchant brings in some nanites too

[stuck apex]

That expedition was decent fun, if a bit boring with the driving around at times... I rate Euclid Truck Simulator 4.5/5

[solemn bane]

I will say I’m surprised every time someone says they ended up liking this expedition. It’ll be interesting to see where it all settles.

[devout garden]

You can, you just have to be in cockpit view to use the triggers to steer

[cerulean olive]

I don't want them to steer. I want my triggers to accelerate and brake.

[devout garden]

They do that too

[cerulean olive]

Not on my PS5. Remapping using the menu doesn't remap the movement to another button.

[civic forge]

Now I get “no edit permission” to deploy bay

[dusky zephyr]

too close to a base

[jagged spruce]

wait I have found derelict freighters but how do you get tainted metals

[cerulean olive]

Open boxes, lockers

[cerulean olive]

I'll give it another try then. Last time I tried it didn't work.

[solemn bane]

See my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message

[devout garden]

You can only steer with the camera movement from the close view, if you wanna steer with the left stick, has to be done in cockpit view

Getting there...slowly

[candid panther]

is there an easy way to find one specific waste type to finish one of the typal milestones

pinging a waste heap takes me back to rendezvous 5 and im not sure if they respawn waste

[simple raptor]

lowk i liked it

mainly js bcs it was substantially different to all the other expeditions

[cerulean olive]

Tried driving on this planet in VR mode. Never had motion sickness using VR, until that attempt.

[candid panther]

also if i wipe out the sentinels on the planet, am i soft locked out of this milestone

[simple raptor]

theyre only wiped out for a little bit

• you can save and reload to un-wipe them out afaik

[dawn quail]

Bro it’s saying I have done no expeditions on new expedition new save

[jagged spruce]

you can summon your ship before you complete phase 5

note that I had a nav data so idk if that matters

[halcyon rose]

Just gotta say, thank you very much to those who helped me out. I got the incinerator!

[wise forge]

I'm trying to complete the milestone to chart 6 waypoints,but it's stopped counting them at 4. I've done three since my fourth one at least,and none have counted.

[jagged spruce]

was it 3000 nanites?

[halcyon rose]

I am not sure but at least a few thousand

[jagged spruce]

yea that's a bug, get the ship and do that one on another planet

[wise forge]

Alright

[halcyon rose]

I had mods on my truck [never needed them until this update] and managed to do it in a few trips [mods are those that increase the load your truck can carry, increase the gravity of the items and headlights]

[vernal vigil]

yeah, once you complete the objective that gives you quicksilver, your ship is restored

idk if its a glitch or not tho

[brittle bramble]

noob question: what do I do once I finish all the phases

how do I leave

[halcyon rose]

Summon your ship, get in, summon anomaly and leave [this is if you didn't create a separate save].

[signal bear]

Omg furnace body doesn’t count towards stats

[brittle bramble]

Oh, I used my normal save

[full oyster]

I be glad when patches come I crash so much

[brittle bramble]

If I don't collect rewards from the expedition screen during the thing, can I collect them afterward

[full oyster]

Collect before end expedition

[brittle bramble]

ugh and heck, tme for an inventory purge, then

[tribal condor]

hey I warped to the space station from a base I found, warped to what I THOUGHT was my recently visited base, now I'm 5 hours away from the waste heap. 2 hours on exocraft. could someone with a Corvette accessible on the expedition join my session and pick me up?

[full oyster]

Ya sell or trash what not want to make room can make as many trips to main save if have one to get it all back with you I made 3 or 4 ones you completel and get to anomaly put what can in go to ship make a save then select return to main save and empty it then make a save and resume expedition

[tribal condor]

I haven't finished the objectives yet so I can't summon a ship, was hoping I could cheese it and buy one

[brittle bramble]

I'm really sorry but that all just ran together and I'm having trouble understanding what you mean

This is my first expedition so I don't know how to do any of that

[full oyster]

Did you create game in expedition

Or already have a game started

If started game from a main save can leave and come back as many times as want

[cosmic sand]

This expedition sucks dude I keep loosing like 2 or three pieces of cargo to my colossus hitting random bumps and sending everything flying out of the back

Very aggravating

[halcyon rose]

Install mods. It'll save your sanity.

[cosmic sand]

How I’m on ps5

[full oyster]

It's challenging I've made trip with like 20 pieces I think but took forever

[signal bear]

I ended up enjoying it. Figured out pathing in the colossus and how you stack are important.

[full oyster]

Only need toxic stuff so should make lots easier that way 5 to 10 maybe 15 tops each stop

[barren bone]

Worse part is your colossus with the spider legs getting stuck on friggin dihodrogen .

[full oyster]

Ya don't use legs or walk around

Crashes are getting frustrating

[cosmic sand]

Dude this exactly I thought spider legs would be all terrain

[lusty junco]

was soo disappointed, I liked the spider legs, but getting caught on random things was a big let-down

[full oyster]

They will its a bug wait till they fix it

Be patient

[lusty junco]

shouldn't have gotten past QA like that. honestly.

[full oyster]

Do best can get expedition done set back wait for fixes

[mortal pivot]

Lol.. 🙂

[barren bone]

I’m on final stage trying to finish the 16 of each type of stuff and keep getting g the same trash heap I’ve already been to over and over and over. It’s so annoying trying to find random bits of special trash just lying about.

[full oyster]

Load truck if not enough relog it respawn stuff I needed that way

After a crash

[barren bone]

Ahh. I didn’t know it respawned.

[full oyster]

I didn't either got lucky maybe

[barren bone]

I’ll fly over to it and see when I log back in.

[full oyster]

But if all hazmat was on truck when I got back in was more on ground

Drop save beacon as load every 2 or so pieces will help alot truck stay loaded that way

What I been doing anyway

[brittle bramble]

why the heck is one of the rewards a pile of bones that would take up half of the return inventory

[odd hatch]

devs cooked

trucker stuff?

[full oyster]

I like them so was glad waiting to collect them

[odd hatch]

can have mine? 🙂

[grizzled valve]

is this still a nightmare or did they fix it?

[odd hatch]

no it sucs

big mega balls

mostly driving slow ass exo5ever

[tribal condor]

right well if anyone's as dumb as I am you can un-stick yourself by using a save editor to fix your ship a little too early

[odd hatch]

oh man

[odd hatch]

that sucks lol

[brittle bramble]

sorry for all the dumb questions, but
Will everything be left behind be converted to currency?

[grizzled valve]

what is the "reward" for all this pain

[stray needle]

look in the pins

basically armor set is main reward

[stray needle]

yes and nanites

[brittle bramble]

Colussus upgrades, personal cosmetics and titles, new decor for building

[grizzled valve]

is it garbage armor

[brittle bramble]

It's a darn shame Ares isn't taking gravitino balls
after the stupid thing made me pick up 30 of them

[stray needle]

have you been able to do the waypoint one?

[brittle bramble]

I did, yes

[stray needle]

it's not working for me

I go up to one and select it but it doesn't count

[brittle bramble]

I don't know if it'll matter, but did you try uploading them from the Discoveries menu? Can't hurt to try

You also may be accidentally going to ones you already visited, I did that a couple of times

[tribal condor]

I always like to spend time going back and forth between my expedition save and the main save to slowly move the entire inventory back to the main save before I finally properly end the expedition

[full oyster]

What's awesome with expedition and Quicksilver there account based items any new game save will have access to them

[tribal condor]

on bigger ones like the first corvette expedition I think that took me a little over an hour to get everything physically possible moved (which also involved deconstructing my expedition corvette save for the bare minimum number of parts, etc)

[full oyster]

In fixing to take a break till some fixes come out we got 5 weeks

[brittle bramble]

I'm working on transferring now, but there's some stuff I either don't care about or don't have the space to store

[signal bear]

So is this waste on every planet?

[dawn quail]

We done expedition now we can’t claim flatbed on normal saves

[burnt ridge]

Ive got everything else where do I find parafinnium to build the colossus geobay?

[brittle bramble]

the ones that have salvageable scrap

[rough flicker]

I'm at that point now. The mission messages will tell you what to do

[brittle bramble]

Smelt it in your backpack smelter, though I forget the ingredients

it should tell you which

[rough flicker]

I think ferrite dust and pyrite?

[burnt ridge]

thank you

[rough flicker]

I was on my way to mine pyrite when I crashed for the 30th time

So I took a break

[jagged spruce]

this expedition effectively made me rich

maybe I can finally build a corvette with this many units

[brittle bramble]

[jagged spruce]

is this good for taking back to my save?

[burnt ridge]

OK I finally have what I need to build it and it says cannot build no edit permission no matter where I try to put it down

[jagged spruce]

people have base computers everywhere, try building near the waste processing plant

[hollow marten]

So is there any way to get a corvette without finalizing the expedition? I've completed it and have ship access, but it won't let me build a corvette

[jagged spruce]

I don't think so

but idk why you'd want to

[hollow marten]

to help a friend do the expedition faster

flying them around

they'd still need to drive back to the processing plant, but at least flying out to the scrap piles

[jagged spruce]

I don't think you can but if you can build a base computer you can make bridges for people

[hollow marten]

Don't even have the base computer blueprint. Doesn't seem to exist anywhere

[jagged spruce]

but everyone can build base computer for some reason

it's everywhere

[solemn bane]

You get it when you finish the expedition IF you started a new save on the expedition. Otherwise you can go back to that planet on your main save.

[heady pilot]

Sure, take whatever you want back. There's nothing special in this expedition that you absolutely cannot have on the main save if you don't import from the expedition. Personally I didn't even bother bringing anything back. But if your main save colossus isn't upgraded it might be worth to bring the S class engine upgrades and so on.

[jagged spruce]

I'm broke af lol and this expedition just made me a load of cash

[halcyon rose]

I am not sure what is more satisfying: Feeding trash into the portable incinerator or feeding trash into the incinerators at the recycling sites. Either way, its cathartic.

[winged grove]

can i transfer credits from my expedition to my main save?

oh wait i can ok

[slim elm]

Says scrap turned into Nanites x15 but ... don't see any nanites?

[winged grove]

what's the recommended method to deal with tech at t he end of the expedition? how can i get the most out of it? dismantle, trade for nanites, or attempt to transfer over?

[marsh haven]

exploring the universe for trash was not on my bingo card for 2026 but here we are.

[hazy sparrow]

Yes, via the expedition terminal in the anomaly, but you need to have started the expedition there and not on a new save.

Arg, I keep forgetting that NMS does per-day sets of drops with new expeditions. I log on one day and get them and think I've gotten them all.
(Yes, I know I can enable them via a save editor, just upset at myself for always forgetting this.)

[slim elm]

I never had my ship show on the hud, can't recall it because it's broken. Am I screwed or do I need the ship? Don't I need to get to the anomaly to claim my transfers?

[light plume]

Ship should be waypointed after completing all milestones, at least for me it was like thay

(I also ran into the ship by accident during trucking trips lol)

[hollow marten]

Your ship won't have an icon on it until you can use it. The expedition prevents you from repairing it until you're done, then it auto-repairs it. Before then it's somewhere nearby and you can sit in it for shelter, but can't repair or fly it at all before completing the expedition

[slim elm]

Ok, then the items I have at the anomaly are useless until after the exp? I see a bunch of other ships ppl have.

So If I see a ship nearby, then just try to get in it to see if it's mine I guess 😄

[hollow marten]

Yes, there's no reason to have brought anything with you since you can't reach the anomally until you've completed the expedition

Can't even copy your ship from your main save since the button isn't there once you've completed the expedition, and even then you couldn't "buy" it since buying ships is disabled in the expedition save

[slim elm]

I've been exploring the wasteland for an hour hoping the ship icon would pop up.

[whole seal]

OMG the tree is not a plant.

[solemn bane]

You can find it, but it's busted beyond repair until you're done with the expedition.

Oh, someone just said that, lol

[sullen pawn]

How the heck do I place the colusus geobay everywhere i go it days no build permission and there's a million bases

[solemn bane]

See my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message

[slim elm]

Are all these bases people are plastering around all done with the exp? I don't have the base computer option to build.

[solemn bane]

You get it when you finish the expedition IF you started a new save on the expedition. Otherwise you can go back to that planet on your main save.

[slim elm]

Gotcha, People must really love this planet then 😄

[solemn bane]

People love griefing.

[slim elm]

Not to be negative but I think this is going down as the worst expedition, by far.

[solemn bane]

Though someone in another Discord server said they were building bases to try to help people, and refused to accept that it's just making it so people can'y build their geobays, lol.

[solemn bane]

Yeah it's not even close. I'd play Aquarius 10 times before playing this again, lol.

[slim elm]

I respect the fact they didn't just phone it in, I think they did a fair amount of work on it. It's just not what we expect or want I think.

[sullen pawn]

I think its a cool concept but its really messed up

[solemn bane]

Yeah it took a lot of work to piss me off so bad.

[rancid shard]

Do not all save beacons count towards the Waypoint goal?

[solemn bane]

Info in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message

[rancid shard]

I guess I'm the odd one out for liking this expedition.

[solemn bane]

Some folks do, but I have never seen vitrol as bad as this for any other expedition. Range seems to be from "ok" to "i got cancer"

Aquarius did set some people off though. That RNG was brutal.

[rancid shard]

Aquarius was the underwater one, yeah?

[solemn bane]

Worse, fishing.

[rancid shard]

Oh, that.

Yeah, I guess it had its frustrations.

It probably wouldn't have been so bad if not for the storage limitations.

[solemn bane]

I hate fishing. Hate. And I still disliked this one so much more, lol.

[rancid shard]

Maybe they can add a fish cooler to the game or something.

[solemn bane]

It had one on the skif, right?

Also the ingredient storage

[misty gale]

My theory is they used this expedition to test multiplayer in confined places

[slim elm]

Rendezvous 1 - 20:35 away, so times 3 miles an hour, what about a half hour to get there?

[misty gale]

It was kinda scuffed

[rancid shard]

It's more fun if you have 'East/Westbound and Down' by Jerry Reed playing in the background.

[rancid shard]

hard to say how much is jank and how much is the internet connection with the servers

[slim elm]

Might be the first exp I don't complete. No reason I have to.

[misty gale]

I had an idea to turn my corvette into a fishing barge but I didn’t get to it

[solemn bane]

That's fine, but they've shown they can actually make a good expedition where you are stuck on a planet. Cartographers was really great.

[misty gale]

I turned off multiplayer for a lot of the expedition and it greatly improves the experience

[rancid shard]

I used to, and everyone insisted it was more fun with it on.

[misty gale]

There’s still some bugs like the spider legs get stuck on random weird things (hydrogen crystals completely stop it)

[misty gale]

I’d say yes for previous expeditions but forme at least it created a lot more problems than it was worth

[rancid shard]

Also, I didn't see any notifications for the Normandy expedition in November so now I have to wait another year for that to come around again...

[solemn bane]

This and the waypoint issue are fixed on Steam's experimental branch, for what it's worth.

[misty gale]

Dang lol, I just finished it today

[sullen pawn]

How would I not auto clear

[solemn bane]

If you play on Steam, etc, you can use the link in my profile to play any expedition whenever.

[misty gale]

Would love to have a suspension tech to make it a little easier

[prime swan]

When does the expedition end?

[solemn bane]

Or like, a magnet in the bed

Futurustic technology: magnets

[misty gale]

Yeah lol. Or hear me out: a closed bed

That’s asking too much I think

[solemn bane]

Oh, this magnet on my arm? No, can't just put that on a truck. Silly.

[misty gale]

I get it’s part of the challenge but it was extremely frustrating when there’s an invisible hitch

[misty gale]

It should run for like 3 weeks from last Wednesday, someone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong

[solemn bane]

You can click the events in this Discord to get a schedule

[misty gale]

So btw how does this work exactly? Is there any caveats or are all the rewards legit

It would be nice to not have to wait for the expeditions, I’ve missed a lot

[prime swan]

Thanks

[solemn bane]

When nms launches it hits their servers to get the latest expedition config and write it to a cache. If it can't reach their servers, it looks for the cached file. You go offline so it can't reach the servers and use your own cache file to trick it into thinking there is an expedition running.

[misty gale]

Oh that’s pretty cool, hopefully Hello Games doesn’t patch it out

I mean I don’t see why they would if it adds value to the game

[solemn bane]

It's been going strong since Omega. Also you can just unlock all the rewards pretty easily on PC. HG doesn't seem to give a shit about that kind of stuff, so I don't think they will care that people are finding ways to play their game.

[unkempt laurel]

How do you do the road signs expedition mission

[solemn bane]

Info in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message

[misty gale]

I’m guessing the reason they don’t is because they patch it when they have an expedition redux

[solemn bane]

I really just think they don't care

[misty gale]

Also probably true lol

[unkempt laurel]

Bro honestly this expedition is kinda lame

[slim elm]

I don't suppose we have galactic trade centers in this expedition either? First thing I did was steal about 80 gravitino balls.

[unkempt laurel]

And its bugged

I have to drive across bumpy road with nuclear waste in my trunk

And if i hit a rock or pothole everything comes flying out

[jagged spruce]

wait if I finished the expedition and go back to the planet in a corvette, can the people get in?

[misty gale]

You can find trade terminals on a couple structures but not reliably. Later on you get a trade rocket though

Oh and you can always trade with landed pilots

[solemn bane]

You get a Trade Rocket

Oop, too slow

[solemn bane]

You can't directly interact with people on the expedition if you are not on it.

[slim elm]

Thanks, I see a building icon way in the distance, I'll check there. Need a place to sell all these delicious cakes too. I'm on a diet.

[raw orbit]

life saver

[eternal cairn]

can I get the widescreen cabin AFTER finishing the expedition, or do I have to stay in to get it?
also want the furnace chassis

[solemn bane]

Yeah, you just have to recycle waste on your primary save. I haven't done it but I'm sure the info is out there.

[eternal cairn]

thanks, just finished my 2nd play through, 1st time separately, then this time on my main save.

[candid panther]

at what point do you get to leave the planet

[solemn bane]

Just finish everything.

[candid panther]

all the rendezvous or literally everything?

[solemn bane]

I think literally everything, but it may just be all of phase 5

[candid panther]

I'm just worried that I softlocked myself by wiping the sentinels before getting the grav gun milestone

[solemn bane]

Just relog and they come back.

[candid panther]

Oh that's good
Relogging also reloads the supplies at each waste dump right

[solemn bane]

I doooon't think so, but I do think they respawn over time

[slim elm]

The flammable and radioactive disposals make sense but carrying the toxic drums up flights of stairs doesn't make sense, and the chompers makes no sense for explosives, just have to throw it at it, the chompers don't do anything.
I'm hoping we can build those waste processing plants at our bases??

[solemn bane]

carrying the toxic drums up flights of stairs

You can just shoot it up there

[heady pilot]

No, shooting it up will always go wrong. The best way is to jetpack up while carrying the toxic scrap and line it up so when you fall down you're on the outside of the cauldron but the toxic waste is inside. It's very very very easy to do.

[solemn bane]

shooting it up will always go wrong

nah

[fickle whale]

im having issues with the roadsigns quest

[solemn bane]

Info in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message

[fickle whale]

thanks man

[jagged spruce]

nah honestly just go to other planet, use the nav data you got and go to some buildings to chart them

or at the very least wait till you get the ship so you don't try for 3 hours trying to find one location

[solemn bane]

Added the bit about the ship, since it's probably still going to randomly work/not work regardless of where you do it

[kind pasture]

i just started the expedition, where do u find the gravitino ball to install the coil

[solemn bane]

They're all over. When it's telling you to find one you can use your scanner and I believe they will pop up.

[kind pasture]

oh ok thx

[icy frigate]

this gotta be the most frustrating expedition I've done

very quick compared to the others, but holy balls fighting the vehicle physics is exhausting

[solemn bane]

That's something I've seen a few times, people saying this expedition is quick, but man I felt like it took me forEVER compared to other expeditions.

[jagged spruce]

eh it can be strategic

[icy frigate]

it's so much smaller scale, it feels like it'd be quicker
it's like driving for 10 minutes between locations

[jagged spruce]

what are the previous expeditions like?

[solemn bane]

Could be perception, could be because I just know how to do most milestones, even if they are dumb and weird because my brain is trained on NMS's dumb weirdness.

[icy frigate]

planet to planet, system to system

[solemn bane]

Go here, do this, repeat 20 times.

[icy frigate]

this one was very focussed compared to some prior ones

[jagged spruce]

was the voyagers one fun?

[icy frigate]

I don't remember em by name

[jagged spruce]

voyagers is the corvette update

[solemn bane]

Voyagers suuuucked, the first one anyway. The Redux was better due to fewer requirements.

[icy frigate]

that one was not bad

[solemn bane]

Oh, no there was a Voyagers expedition. Corvette was the Corvette expedition, lol.

[jagged spruce]

honestly I think this update is nice but the expedition does drag on a bit

[icy frigate]

everything since the water world update has been kinda neat cause they start you with the atlandid drive or whatever it's called that skips having to get all the other colored hyperdrive upgrades

[jagged spruce]

there's a corvette expedition?

[icy frigate]

and like this one started you with the personal refinery, which is always nice

[solemn bane]

Yes, the Corvette expedition was in the Voyagers update, but Voyagers was a previous expedition, lol. They are bad at naming things.

The Voyagers expedition was like, find a rare version of this type of animal. We will not tell you where to look. Good luck.

[loud surge]

I made the mistake of scanning prior to getting the expedition challenge

oh no

[solemn bane]

Don't worry, just scan everything and upload on the discoveries tab and both milestones will complete

[loud surge]

I have 5/6

Getting to 6/6 and uploading will auto-complete it?

[solemn bane]

yep

[loud surge]

Sick

[solemn bane]

They actually tested at least one thing.

[coarse garnet]

Worst for new players were the expedition where the rendezvous system was very far away and you needed to warp 10 times to reach it.

[jagged spruce]

I definitely hope they fix the issues soon

[coarse garnet]

How fast would players turn the multiplayer off to make the expedition playable?

[solemn bane]

Worse than that were the MULTIPLE expeditions that asked you to take a black hole, then you were half a galaxy away from the next rdv so people would just warp for hours before being told to just portal back to where they were, lol.

[loud surge]

...Was i supposed to do that?

[lucid tapir]

i accidently scanned all the creatures before later realizing i needed to scan them with the vehicle. do i have to start over?

[loud surge]

Even worse when some people didn't even use space station portals

[solemn bane]

They have been testing that since the first expedition.

[jagged spruce]

eh I played on multiplayer, it was fine, some added challenge

[coarse garnet]

No worry, both works

[solemn bane]

Nope, just get 6/6 and upload, both will complete

[coarse garnet]

The road sign challenge is almost impossible if you start the expedition right now with multiplayer on

[solemn bane]

Yes, fine for you - but it is the cause of most problems in expeditions, and the solution to most problems is turning it off. It affects people completely randomly.

[jagged spruce]

I just waited until the end, and explored other planets after exchanging nav data at a space station

[solemn bane]

This one is an issue with or without multiplayer, interestingly

[jagged spruce]

even after I turned it off, saved and reloaded, the bases were still there, and the road signs was still broken

[coarse garnet]

Only if you didn't start the expedition right from the start with the multiplayer off

[solemn bane]

Neg, lots of people have said they always have multiplayer off and were having the issue, so it's a deeper problem than that

[coarse garnet]

Interesting. I didn't encounter any issues myself (except forgetting to chart locations of)

[jagged spruce]

it's just broken

[solemn bane]

Me either, but then I have never had any of the random issues that affected people on expeditions. I just try to gather the info from people to piece together what the hell is going on 😆

[coarse garnet]

My main issue was using the same key for both dumping the wastes and entering the colossus resulting in 3 times the fun... , but that's not a bug

[icy frigate]

once your ship is repaired, use the colossus scanner to find pois, then fly the ship to them

if you can, disassemble your spawner so you can take it to another planet

[coarse garnet]

You can't

[icy frigate]

you can

it's literally what I did

[coarse garnet]

You need to fulfill all milestones to get your ship back

[jagged spruce]

no

[jagged spruce]

@coarse garnet

[icy frigate]

thought I'd have gotten the roadsigns done by the end, but it wasn't done
but my ship landing gear was repaired, so I was able to fly around to pois

[solemn bane]

  "BlockShipRepairUntilMilestoneWithSeedComplete": [
    true,
    "0x2F"
  ],

0x2F = 47, so I think that means your ship is available after completing phase 5, milestone 8

[coarse garnet]

That's not what I experienced myself

[jagged spruce]

I didn't complete the toxic scrap one or the road signs one and I could still summon my ship

[coarse garnet]

My last two milestones were scan 6 fauna and road signs and only after these two were completed I got the message my starship was available.

Maybe it was before, but the game didn't warn me about it.

[jagged spruce]

you don't even have to complete phase 5, I think you just have to do the fifth drop off

[jagged spruce]

the game also told me after I completed my last milestone (on a different planet)

[coarse garnet]

So I did lose 6 minutes driving to a monolith when I could have flown to it...

[jagged spruce]

well I didn't fly to that either

cuz I didn't know if you could summon the ship

[solemn bane]

Hm, I wonder what the magical milestone you have to complete is to unlock the ship

I could go by trial and error but that would require me to close and open the game a million times, lol

[jagged spruce]

I would imagine the fifth haul or pickup whatever you call it

[solemn bane]

I did the thing where I did all those at the same time, and I don't think my ship unlocked. Easy enough to check that first though.

[rain stream]

Mine bugged, I got it during phase 3 when I was trying to summon my exocraft, I hit ship instead but I was going very quick and it let me actually land my ship.

[solemn bane]

I've heard this a couple times, too

[solemn bane]

Aight, well, I just auto completed this one by hacking the json and it unlocked my ship, so I guess it's the one. That means you can go to all the Checkpoints first, THEN haul 5 special wastes, and it will complete all 5 milestones at the same time AND unlock your ship.

[coarse garnet]

What are the current known bugs about the expedition?

• Road signs not recording
• Mechanical legs stuck on little crystals
• Strange physics interaction
• Flatbed not unlocking until restart of the game when going back to the main save

Is there anything else ?

[rain stream]

Ability to destroy other players cargo is fked.

So that needs to be addressed.

[coarse garnet]

I don't know about that. The 5 special wastes seems to be an additive +5 to what you did before, but they could stack together to a +25 if previous are active too if HG has thought about it.

[solemn bane]

I literally did it.

Been in my pinned comment since like day 2

[rain stream]

Poor update lol

[solemn bane]

Maybe day 1, it was a long day

[coarse garnet]

You will still be stuck with the 16/16/16 but well found

[solemn bane]

That is in my pinned comment as well.

[jagged spruce]

next one will probably be better

[solemn bane]

Every subsequent one will be better than this one. I'd put money on it.

[rain stream]

I kept falling asleep hauling garbage and every time I'd wake up I'd be like 3 minutes closer to my objective but like two of my special waste went somewhere along the way lol

[solemn bane]

Gonna do the 5 checkpoint, one haul challenge to confirm it also unlocks the ship naturally.

[jagged spruce]

take it slow, and use your mining laser on the truck to clear the way

[rain stream]

Should play with stuff around step 3 where you very quickly use quick menus to try and summon your ship early under various circumstances

[coarse garnet]

They seem to intend to continue to add jobs updates (fishing/archeology/waste hauler).
We will see.

[rain stream]

I'm already done with it now lol. I finished it on day two

Getting my ship on phase 3 made it so fast lmao

At least getting TO the waste piles.

[coarse garnet]

Frankly I did not use any save points and just followed the bottom of the valleys to get a flat surface and be sure to be able to quickly recover any lost cargo. I loaded big ordinary wastes on top of the special ones too to keep them in place. It worked fine.

[quiet ruin]

I finished it on day 2 also, but I had an issue with the mechanical legs that really slowed me down. They kept getting stuck on random things like di-hydrogen crystals. Has anyone else experienced this or is it just me?

[coarse garnet]

Everybody has experienced it.
I am more surprised HG themselves didn't experience it before releasing the update. It was hard to miss.

Especially fun Enhanced or lower when crystals tend to pop 10 meters ahead of you.

[quiet ruin]

Hopefully they patch it soon...

[jagged spruce]

I thought the pop-ins was because my pc is weak

[coarse garnet]

Mine is weak too (Steam Deck) so my rendering distance is short and I expected that to be the cause.

[coarse garnet]

I play on Enhanced. I will try to check how far I can see them on Ultra.

[static wharf]

and stuck, roadsigns 5/6 ..been reading what you guys were saying for last 45 mins, tried everything ... thanks for giving alternatives...i finished everything so , guess i got to wait for patch

wait ....ship is fixed ....

[solemn bane]

There you go

[static wharf]

o m g

ok so if i get a chart from vendor on space station to get a site away from my position , should it work ?

[solemn bane]

Maybe! You can also just fly around and scan with your ship at low altitude to find buildings

[shy dagger]

How many days legt?

[solemn bane]

Lots, you can check the events in this Discord

[gaunt ridge]

...

and now this one is super close to going boom

and now my game just fucking crashed...

[static wharf]

and done ! it worked , thanks for help

[solemn bane]

Just confirmed this:

2. You can do all the Checkpoints first, then do all the Road Trips at the same time. You still have to collect 16 of each waste type, but this gets you some quick rewards. You can also put save beacons down at each point to easily find them again later. This will also unlock your ship

That'll get you the three S class upgrades and your ship to make the 16/16/16 milestones easier.

[coral cape]

what does it mean by reorientate sentinels?

[solemn bane]

grab them with your grav gun and shoot them away. You can do this in rapid succession.

[coral cape]

ok ty

[loud surge]

Avery slow expedition

[wraith junco]

Its test of patience

[loud surge]

Indeed

[timber dagger]

So far the only expedition i finished in one sitting

[loud surge]

How long are your sittings lol

[timber dagger]

I don't see anyone doing this as a legit side activity though

[timber dagger]

Was like 6 hours

Short expedition, brand new file

[loud surge]

Little longer than average, then

[timber dagger]

I usually take longer in other expeditions cause the planet gen isn't generous to give me the mats i need
