nms-expedition

[timber dagger]

But this was a single planet so its easier

[rapid basalt]

is it possible to get more technology slots for ur exo suit?

[jagged spruce]

it does work

[jagged spruce]

yes, but I don't think you can in the expedition

[rapid basalt]

?

[jagged spruce]

there isn't really a part where you upgrade tech slots for exo suit

but in the normal game, you just click the slots you don't have unlocked

[proper relic]

Yes you can, there is plenty of drop pods on the planet

[hollow shale]

I hate these pickup truck chores.. no suspension and so every single bump either empties the back or half of it gets tossed! 🙁

[thick umbra]

Its not a Formula 1 race car 🙂 learn to drive gently and slow 🙂

[hollow shale]

that's just a copout

it's shit

worse then the ocean one. at least that one just had a difficultl but steady progress. 😡

[river vale]

how do i go to the anaomaly at the end of the expedition ?

[hollow shale]

oh and lets not forget the holes. Instant loss of cargo.

[solemn bane]

Summon your ship

[river vale]

oh okay thx

[neon belfry]

Free tips, but try not to drive into holes then. And be grateful, you can play the game, while some of us can't.

[solemn bane]

Counterpoint: While playing this expedition I envied the dead.

[neon belfry]

Counter-counterpoint : while i can't play the expedition, i really wish to have only few collision bugs instead of multiple crashes in few minutes honestly, just see you guys playing is a bit frustrating haha

But yeah, i can understand that physics aren't always good, but you can experiment it, but one more time, we can not

[thick umbra]

@solemn bane whats the trick to have a video like that with only 6MB ?

[solemn bane]

I ripped it from a reddit post and trimmed the beginning, but I see lots of artifacts so the compression is definitely turned way up. I could have probably crunched it down even more if I had re-encoded it at a smaller resolution since things in Discord are probably going to play at smaller than 1280px wide.

[hollow shale]

First off, the truck doesn' thave any lights worth mentinooing... so when it's nighttime I can't see the holes.

Secondif it's crashing constantly, try verifying your system files, your graphics drivers and your game install.
Might fix it.

[thick umbra]

ah got it

[solemn bane]

It's an Xbox thing. It is very, very broken on that platform right now.

Like it crashes so hard people are getting red rings

[hollow shale]

bummer 🙁

[molten hill]

totally understandable reaction

[lapis flame]

Having to drive for an hour to get to next marker....this might be the first expedition I will quit...

[marsh haven]

that seems wrong

[timber dagger]

Nah the longest drive is about 10 mins

[lapis flame]

I drove yesterday for 30 mins in one direction but an hour, I'm good

[timber dagger]

Plus the planet has these dried up river beds that make it a breeze

[marsh haven]

If i got a mission destination 1 hour away id save and reload and/or otherwise try and drop and reaccept/reset the mission.

[lapis flame]

I will try that but I thought you couldn't reset an expedition goal

Is everyone on planet Lostr Major

[timber dagger]

Yes

Everyone has the same planet

[lapis flame]

Ok

[marsh haven]

but the game should be picking "the closest" destinations for everyone.

[timber dagger]

Shoutout to the guy who named the smallest mineral "big rock"

[void sigil]

hello, is there any way to track the numbers of each type of scrap you processed during the expedition?

i know there is one in the introduction quest, but im in exp

[void sigil]

truee, but theres a smaller rock

[timber dagger]

[marsh haven]

whoever owns that record needs to call it bigger rock

[void sigil]

it took me two days to find it for the mineral directive 😭

yes ive been thinking that too

and the real big rocks need rock names too

[marsh haven]

"tiny rock"

[void sigil]

the fact that the tree is a rock is hilarious to me

lmao

rock jr

[void sigil]

@ me pls ty

[fierce gyro]

anyone else have any problems deploying the colossus geobay?

[coarse garnet]

Remember to not miss those

[void sigil]

lads, do the bases on your saves all look fucked up like this?

theres not even a base computer so i cant get rid of it, i just want to place a damn beacon

[fierce gyro]

how do you set a base you can place the colossus geobay?

[void sigil]

we dont get bases in this exp, im guessing these are just people who found the planet on their normal saves and made bases

[fierce gyro]

ok so for some reason i can't place my colossus geobay any tips?

it just says connot build no edit permission

[void sigil]

youre within the area of someones base

youve got the same issue i do

[fierce gyro]

i've even turned off multiplayer in network

[void sigil]

i know

its just something the game does

like what is this

[fair sun]

Does anyone know if the road signs have been fixed

[stuck apex]

I've started the expedition on a multiplayer disabled setting and there's no base clutter on the planet so try that, and reload the save, should work better

[restive saddle]

Hey guys, first time talking in here, so I've been playing the new expedition but I think i might've gotten myself softlocked? I was trying to complete the field guide milestone, but before finding the last fauna in lostr major I had access to space since I had my ship but when I did that the expedition page had reset my progress and now that I had found the last fauna it doens't seem to update, any help?

[fierce gyro]

I'd do that if i haven't already started one from my main save. I think im going to have to start a new save entirley and just wait before playing main save

[fringe agate]

Go to the fauna page and at the top of the list of fauna there is a place to upload them all, try that

[dry patrol]

yeah they should have made this system undiscoverable somehow for the length of the expedition people have put down so many bases its near impossible to place a geobay

[void sigil]

i have too

[dry patrol]

I walked so far to put my geobay down

also they should have chosen literally any other planet this is torture

[fringe agate]

You can report the base you are on via the quick menu, this will make it vanish for you and allow for building

[restive saddle]

that worked a treat! thanks a ton!

[void sigil]

yes but you have to either find the base computer, or go by name

these bases dont have names

i have 8 bases around me, deleted 3 already so there were more. only one of them has a name

[fringe agate]

You don't need the name or computer using the quick menu

Just go to the right and report everything

[fringe agate]

Oh I see, not showing there

[dry patrol]

I have fallen into 5 caves now. 5 D:<

those caves are now landfills

[void sigil]

yea

[dry patrol]

if someone finds a cave full of hazardous scrap, its because I didnt see it until my colossus was upside down

[void sigil]

dont drink and drive man

[void sigil]

i wish they were at least sorted by proximity

ive reported every single one, noothing

[fringe agate]

Looks weird too

[void sigil]

they all do

[last summit]

Unfortunately just try running far, also reporting the base computer itself helps

[void sigil]

.

[void sigil]

i know, look at the picture

[fringe agate]

I wonder if they are running mods and seeing different terrain, or it's just a weird bug

[void sigil]

what computer my man

im not running mods, i cant

they might be

[last summit]

Look for where the base marker is when you step back

[fringe agate]

No, the people placing them

[void sigil]

ah

[void sigil]

look at the picture

[last summit]

Or use the report function in the quick menu and photograph the construction

[bright fossil]

Ok, it's been a hot minute since I been on and thought id give the expedition a go, but when I did [NO SHIP] traceable wtaf can someone explain why I have no ship on my radar or through my scope?

Sorry wrong channel

[void sigil]

yeah no ships in this one

[stuck apex]

I've started from my main save too, but I turned off multiplayer before doing it

[void sigil]

i went so far as to find a working teleporter, go to the space station and build a corvette and it still didnt let me use it

[bright fossil]

But i have a ship in my inventory selection ????

[void sigil]

3 damn hours 😭

yeah im guessing the code just doesnt let them completely remove it

[bright fossil]

That's fair, and where in the heck has the help channel gone?

It's been a bit

[void sigil]

i @ you in it

[coarse garnet]

If you wait until tomorrow a fix for road sign milestones and mechanical legs is already in beta right now

[barren bone]

You do have a ship, it just doesnt show on the scanner. It needs to be fixed but it can be used to fly around and get back to the anomoly

You just have to find it. It should be close to the starting waste processing plant. At least mine was

[royal jetty]

After the expidition and I'm still in it can do missions on the anomoly?

[civic kelp]

is patch due on tomorrow?

[coarse garnet]

It was released on beta 12 hours ago so it can be made available publicly anytime now

[coarse garnet]

If it is a new save absolutely. Once you finish the expedition your save turns into a regular one

[royal jetty]

I mean from an existing save you can do both for the qs.

[civic kelp]

thanks

[remote thunder]

yes, you'll be able to do so

anomaly access doesnt require completing and claiming all - can just leave final exp badge unclaimed, and it wont auto finish

[royal jetty]

so you really can't get your ship untill the end right?

[remote thunder]

iirc, requires completing and claiming milestones in phase 5

[karmic current]

How do I complete the roadsigns milestone from phase 3

[remote thunder]

iow, dont worry about your ship

[coarse garnet]

Until you complete the last milestone of the phase 5.
You don't need to complete any other milestone to get it actually 😄

[unkempt kraken]

@karmic current see post below:
-# 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.

Shared by: @remote thunder

Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[coarse garnet]

Some people have managed to make it spawn in phase 3 too, but we still don't know how

[remote thunder]

@royal jetty thing is, wont let you do checkpoint and roadtrip milestones of phase 5 without completing the ones from previous phases

[coarse garnet]

Either wait for the fix (soon incoming, currently in beta) or visit a lot of POI and hope

[remote thunder]

so iow, if you wanted to almost completely ignore what this expedition is about, you could rush checkpoint+roadtrip milestones

[coarse garnet]

Some milestones like fauna, Monolith, Road sign and so on can be done with the ship.

[karmic current]

Oh it's bugged?

I just got to that part

[remote thunder]

plenty of people were able to get it done

using workarounds here:

<#nms-expedition message>

[karmic current]

Hmm I'll try that then

Thank you

[coarse garnet]

In my case it worked directly, it depends on your luck

[remote thunder]

it was actually always there - right from the start - and game will even move it when needed

(tip: usually, direction we're looking in when we spawn, that's the direction our ship is in)

wouldn't be able to fix it afaik though

[royal jetty]

I found a ship in the expedition....

[remote thunder]

and wouldnt be able to claim it i think right

[coarse garnet]

No they managed to make it work in phase 3 but making it spawn from the X menu

[royal jetty]

I got in it and it says I can claim it idk Ill try to fix it to see if I can

[royal burrow]

how do I find the last few waste? the scanner points me to the 5th rendevous but I know there are closer ones

[coarse garnet]

You can't, two modules are "damaged beyond repair"

[royal jetty]

it is in my starship list

I know this is off topic buy you could save edit it lol

[remote thunder]

just travel around, using visor instead

look for industrial waste icons, some of those will be specialist ones

[dry patrol]

hmmm... is it possible to lock yourself out of the scan fauna with the cyclops eye waypoint? it asked me for two and I only had two creatures left, so if you only have one would you be screwed?

[remote thunder]

nah, there's a failsafe; also remember to claim the zoology bonus reward in discoveries/system/planet/fauna view

[dry patrol]

yeah I did that

I was just wondering if there was a failsafe in place

for people who accidentally all the creatures

[round sapphire]

Guys whats the easiest way to find minerals you haven’t discovered b

[remote thunder]

yeah, that last scan should count as 2

[dry patrol]

like if you found all 6

[remote thunder]

most people miss these spots

[dry patrol]

and dont forget the "tree"

[round sapphire]

The Little Rock’s?

Do trees count as minerals

[remote thunder]

the zoology bonus will take care of it

[round sapphire]

Im on phase 4

[remote thunder]

well, a tree is usually a plant; are there minerals that look like a tree? yes, there's one on this planet

[dry patrol]

secret rock

petrified wood

[dry patrol]

it is notably too big to run over

[remote thunder]

yeah, pretty much

[dry patrol]

so just look for a giant tree thats scannable

[round sapphire]

These minerals are gonna be the death of me

[dry patrol]

same

[remote thunder]

yep

[dry patrol]

no the big rocks

bigrock

anyway whoever picked this planet for the expedition is 100% evil

I would like their autograph

[round sapphire]

This is what I’ve scanned so far. Got 3 more to go.

[remote thunder]

honestly, i really liked the planet

[clear vigil]

The pirates and brood wasn't fine

[dry patrol]

the pirates are just annoying

please stop shooting the ground near me

[remote thunder]

see <#nms-expedition message>

i saw them do that like 3 times the entire expedition, i guess i didnt have it that rough

[dry patrol]

the mountains are also annoying

[remote thunder]

they never really attacked me

[dry patrol]

but its the easily missed pits that are killing me

I'm driving down a mountain with a load of special salvage and suddenly I am upside down in a cave

[royal burrow]

it should always say industrial waste right? or no?

[dry patrol]

no

[royal burrow]

beuh

bruh

[dry patrol]

it says something different if its special industrial waste

hazardous industrial waste I think?

[royal burrow]

i thought it just says special industrial waste because I did seeone like that

but only one

[remote thunder]

open the screenshot i posted full screen

[dry patrol]

anyway, I'm stuck in a cave again, GG

10/10 expedition

[faint egret]

Hi all, I just begun the expedition and I've done some research, but apparently you begin the expedition with a personal refiner? I'm not overly sure however. But, of you do begin wkth one, I don't have it. At all. Anywhere. Not inventory, not technology slots. Nowhere. If it helps, I play on Switch 1, the OLED version. Please get back to me. I wish to complete the expedition.

[royal burrow]

yeah but I ve never found one in the wild that just says special although some contain special ones

[dry patrol]

you're supposed to have a personal refiner mk2 in your tech slots yeah

wait... actually is it for completing the first mission?

it might be for completing the first milestone

I forget

[remote thunder]

just keep going

[faint egret]

No, you get 200 cobalt, 5 ion batteries and 5 life support gel.

[final fossil]

So, I had a question, what are the upsides to starting an expedition from your main save vs starting a fresh save?

[faint egret]

I have the game open currently if attachments are required

[remote thunder]

no, it comes pre-installed already

[dry patrol]

yeah, I thought so but wasnt sure

[faint egret]

But it isn't for me??

[remote thunder]

on your exosuit? take another look

[faint egret]

Nope. Nowhere

May I send an attachment?

[remote thunder]

in exp21 context, there's no point bringing resources in, because you wont be able to get them. starting from new save allows one to simply dump and restart if bad spawn location for example. phase and final exp rewards are unlocked account wide and available to claim later on any other save, so on the account of those it doesn't matter how you start

[remote thunder]

sure

[royal burrow]

I found 1 in 10 minutes and I cant check off the piles I already checked that doesnt have special

[remote thunder]

keep traveling in the same direction so you dont backtrack.

[faint egret]

As seen here, there is none :/

[remote thunder]

right there

already pre-installed, as mentioned

[faint egret]

Oh... My apologies. I feel... Rather unintelligent.

[remote thunder]

nah, you're fine, always feel free to ask whenever needed

[final fossil]

This game can make everyone feel like that

[faint egret]

Apologies if I have wasted your precious time

[remote thunder]

nah

no need to apologize traveler-friend

[round sapphire]

So some minerals are in the mountains and then some is in the caves

[wanton jay]

does anyone have suggestions for phase 4 toxicity? i cant find any toxic waste to dispose of

[lavish vessel]

You can transfer some items to expedition and from, at the end.

Idk what else.

[faint egret]

Ah. Well, thank you very much

[remote thunder]

check next waste heap, or just find more heaps/specialist industrial waste icons while traveling around

whatever type there is, is random

that's just how it is

[wanton jay]

i keep scanning for heaps and my scanner keeps pointing to the same one

[final fossil]

For the Roadsigns objective, does each way point have to be on a different planet?

[wanton jay]

and that heap never regenerates

[remote thunder]

forget radar; use your visor while exploring, it really is that easy

[wanton jay]

oh thats a better idea. ty

[royal burrow]

does scanner work the same way or no

[remote thunder]

if you quick scan while driving colossus, it can also mark specialist/normal industrial waste

then just aim at markers to see wht they are

[royal burrow]

wait

if you aim visor at the waste you can see if it has special?

[worldly salmon]

is there a count of waste recycled anywhere?

[atomic estuary]

You should have a mission in your log that keeps track of it

[remote thunder]

yep

[worldly salmon]

yeah that number is not accurate but thanks.

[round sapphire]

Got the ones on the mountains

Do I need to find a cave for the last 2 minerals or can I just dig a tunnel lol

[thick umbra]

does not matter how you enter a cave 🙂

[vagrant bone]

The expedition ends next month or so right?

[thick umbra]

ends 25 March 2026 15:00

[vagrant bone]

Alr thx

[royal burrow]

would this give the same result as a scanner

[formal thicket]

Surely they don't expect me to drive an hour for every waypoint

[worldly salmon]

that they do

[formal thicket]

Oh lord

Time to get comfy i spose

[royal jetty]

can the salvae fall out of the truck while driving?

[coarse garnet]

MAx was 15 minutes

[formal thicket]

What do I need to be looking for other than trade spots? Just cruise around?

[formal thicket]

Yes

[topaz spruce]

everything will be on the one planet the expedition is on. might take a little doing the longer it goes, but myself and a friend have run it 3 times now and were able to do the entire expedition in under 6 hours.

[final fossil]

Sick

[topaz spruce]

use the exocraft radar when you get to the dump sites at each phase and scan for drop pods, depots and settlements. you should be able to find one close enough by each one (by close i mean around 2,000u)

[stone lotus]

The points shouldn't be an hour away.... screenshot?

Mine maxed out at 15 minutes with most being between 8 and 10 minutes

Are people really getting points that are an hour away? I would have quit lmao

[whole seal]

At what milestone are you given the spider legs?

[worldly salmon]

phase 4

[royal jetty]

could they have made a more mountainous planet?

[stone lotus]

Yes actually lol

[worldly salmon]

dont you dare put that evil on me Ricky Bobby

[whole seal]

Yes

[royal jetty]

so just get nanites?

frome this i doesn't seem like that many or am I missing something?

[coarse garnet]

Trust me they could have done worse (yes it is a tornado on the right) :

[coarse garnet]

No, it is similar to fishing. If you like it, you are rewarded. If you don't, don't bother just for the rewards.
It is nice, it prevents boring grind for min-maxers

[worldly salmon]

at lest theres a point to min maxing

[royal jetty]

I don't mean to come off as complaining

[coarse garnet]

No issues, it does reward very few nanites for the work.
You will realize at the end of the expedition the few alien words you will have learned will be worth half the total nanites gained from waste recycling

[worldly salmon]

you wouldn't be the only one ...

[coarse garnet]

Fixed :

https://www.nomanssky.com/2026/02/remnant-6-22/

Update now to get rid of mechanical legs stuck or road signs issues

[white grove]

What was everyone's "You know what, I hate this expedition" moment? I'll go first. My farthest rendezvous was almost 20 minutes away, I get there and get 15 minutes back before something I'm mining while I drive clips through my rig, so it gets mined, mut my laser, still aimed where it was now beams into my waste on board, queue all my special waste going boom in such a grand manor all my normal waste blows out like a frag grenade

[royal jetty]

the fun continues lol.... One of the gravitino balls spawned and all my explosive junk went everywhere. wasn't paying attention and fell in a hole. I spawnd it back up and the few that was on there despawned.

[coarse garnet]

This has been fixed too with the latest update

[white grove]

Oh yeah? I FINISHED THE EXPEDITION LAST NIGHT!!! I beat it while it was still infested

[coarse garnet]

If you spawn it somewhere else what was in the colossus stay in the previous colossus location (or it should)

[ashen violet]

When I brought my first special load to the garbage dump and accidentally automatically processed it all but that was more my fault

[royal jetty]

it must of been a bug

[white grove]

I feel that's Moreno a rite of passage... AKA I did it too

[coarse garnet]

Pretty similar, when I activated the dump function instead of entering the colossus at the very top of a HUGE cliff ...

TWICE ...

[plain pike]

Finally I can finish this expedition- I got stuck on road signs

[royal jetty]

So how do I find the site with explosive junk?

[white grove]

All my Exocraft will have crablegs now

[coarse garnet]

Scan from the x action bar from your colossus (look for waste heap)

[dry patrol]

I have driven my collossus into so many caves

spilling all my cargo all over the underground

[ashen violet]

Yeah it was the same ridge destroying everyone's progress since the radar would always send you back to the first dump

[white grove]

I've done that more than I care to admit

[dry patrol]

its such a pain to dig it back out

also I'm just kind of getting sick of driving up and down mountains

[final fossil]

Blasphemy

Offroad trucking is peak

[coarse garnet]

I went myself into many caves trying to find these perfectly circular explosive barrels which manage to reach the very bottom of all the caves of the area once they began rolling from my dump mistake

[coarse garnet]

Just avoid. I only did it once then I carefully followed the bottom of the valleys 😄

[dry patrol]

but that takes so much longer

[coarse garnet]

Not really, it is generally flat so you are actually faster

[coarse garnet]

There are other tips like loading a lot of huge and heavy normal wastes to block your special ones

[dry patrol]

maybe if I pile a bunch of explosive barrels under the collossus...

I could just jump the mountain

also wondering if I could make a collossus dock on my corvette now. Just a space with a ramp up to it that I can carry my load back to the refinery on my main save

[jagged spruce]

grab the storm crystal

[dry patrol]

but I digress. this map is pretty brutal for a first trucking expedition

[thick umbra]

hehe that truck does not fit ,, did have the same Idea

[dry patrol]

no no, not like, jamming it into one of the hab blocks, I mean just building a bay out of containers minecraft style for it

[coarse garnet]

It is my settlement planet so I have enough of these (and sometimes fly to the ceiling of a settlement building when a tornado comes too close)

[dry patrol]

also is there anything preventing us from building a corvette on the space station? theres so many portals to the station and quite a bit of stuff to sell

[coarse garnet]

What about building a ramp to make it park on the top of the Corvette ?

[thick umbra]

Even if you could do it tha way .. I guess all the stuff on your truck will disappear if you fly with it away .. same as with summon the truck

[coarse garnet]

Not sure about that.
When you drive your corvette the wastes clip trough it, but the exocraft is not part of the corvette so it could work

[wanton frigate]

can you just build a junk cage out of habs with inverted cowlings as a floor and fill it with stuff, then fly to the center and manually sort it?

[jagged spruce]

no it still falls out

[coarse garnet]

No, once you enter the driver seat your corvette let the wastes clip trough it

What would work for sure would be using a bunch of players to each magnetize a waste and enter the same corvette

[jagged spruce]

you need 20 people for that to be effective

[finite gull]

they’re not fixing the expidition, are they

[worldly salmon]

new patch within the last hour, so yes

[finite gull]

still can’t scan the creatures

so no

:(

games still softlocked

[worldly salmon]

im not sure i understand your issue bro

[jagged spruce]

upload the discovery

[cosmic sand]

How do I get the rest of the colossus parts like the caterpillar track and the widescreen cabin?

[finite gull]

now what

hello

[wraith junco]

Gather and dispose 50 waste per type

[jagged spruce]

in the discoveries tab there should be a button to upload or complete after you scan all 6 creatures

[finite gull]

yeah but how do i scan them again

[coral cape]

how do i prevent my industrial waste from being thrown off my vehicle when im driving

[finite gull]

skill

[solid knot]

Buried in the patch notes:
Fixed an issue in the Remnant expedition that could prevent waypoints to fail to count towards the Roadsigns milestone.

The only one that matters. Expedition is a 9/10 now. Thanks HG.

[cosmic sand]

It’s self tracked I assume?

[finite gull]

why’d they only fix that ;-;

[worldly salmon]

that 1 of like 50 things they fixed bro

[solid knot]

It's the only fix that mattered to me. That bug was actively harming the fun of the expedition for a lot of players.

[jagged spruce]

drive slow and take the safe route

[finite gull]

and what about the creature thing

[jagged spruce]

only use boost to boost up mountains

[finite gull]

btw where can i check the patch notes

[gleaming solar]

ROADSIGNS WORKY?

[plain pike]

yeah that bug was preventing me from completing the expedition

[gleaming solar]

#nms-announcements

[solid knot]

Another bit of advice for industrial waste:
Install the turning optional tech and tap backwards when going downhill to steer in the direction you're looking. This prevents losing stuff while trying to navigate downhill.

[finite gull]

i didn’t see anything about creature scanning ;-;

[jagged spruce]

they actually fixed it?

[solid knot]

They claim to have. I finished already so someone else will have to confirm.

[worldly salmon]

can you explain what the actual issue you are having

[finite gull]

i cant do the creature scanning quest because i already scanned the creatures

i’d have to go to another planet but you can’t

[solid knot]

Finish stage 5. It fully repairs your starship for you then you can fly to one of the other planets to scan a creature there to finish it.

[worldly salmon]

after you finish phase 5 you will get acces to your ship reguardless of other milesontes compleation status, fly to another planet and scan creatures

[finite gull]

sick

[flint ledge]

Love that they fixed the waypoint but I still have to travel for a few hours to find new waypoints that’ll count. Was hoping they would just auto complete it

[solid knot]

Right? I'm glad stage 5 didn't have any progress preventing bugs like that so you can still use the rest of the system to finish it all.

You can even go to other planets and land at buildings for their waypoints. Those count too.

[strong dagger]

Hello, how do you like the garbagge collection ?

[worldly salmon]

it feels like a community service punishment

[strong dagger]

What hahahah

[simple flint]

I had that to, but on the page where it says what you discovered of the flora and fauna, you can submit the animal data then the milstone unlocks, thats what happend for me

[gleaming solar]

Tedious, boring. You can do the same but for real muneh

[lofty storm]

So. Much. Fun 🙃

[worldly salmon]

there is ZERO reason to use this mechanic at all

make the bestest garbage truck that you will never use

[simple flint]

Its a chill way to earn nanites in my opinion^^ and a good way to just drive arround find corvette parts and earn nanites while doing it^^

[sullen swan]

I whould be more popular if you got rare corvette parts that you can only get from it

[jagged spruce]

you can nanite

[worldly salmon]

you get more nanites for learning words ....

[jagged spruce]

if you're finding corvette parts, just grab your corvette and shoot near the marker

[last summit]

Ok so how does one prevent the game from crashing? It just crashed then removed four of my special waste from my vehicle

[jagged spruce]

well xbox is not fixed yet

[wraith junco]

Wait for fix

[lofty storm]

That's the fun part. ^^ You don't. @last summit

[last summit]

Feels like that should have been a day one patch

[strong dagger]

Cool, thank you for opinions everyone 👍

[zealous rock]

So many fixes, too much to read hope they fixed Xbox crashing

[sullen swan]

Nope

[zealous rock]

Sadge

No expedition for us I guess

[lofty storm]

It's hard to give positive feedback when you can't even play. :/

[last summit]

Seriously this is the most crashing I have had since I changed my console and the expedition is on a single planet

[zealous rock]

Can't even complete my first phase

Looks fun but stuck on the sidelines is demoralizing

[worldly salmon]

i feel like x box is having issues with the new multiplayer they are implementing.

[finite gull]

ok so i did road trip 5, what do i do now?

[worldly salmon]

call in your ship

[finite gull]

how

it’s broken

[fair sun]

This di hydrogen bro😭

[violet tide]

is there anyone with a corvet that could come pick me up and bring me to the waste site? I got launched into space with a glitch and now im 2 hours from the objective area

[finite gull]

and hek i dunno where it is

[last summit]

I have multiplayer off so

[thick umbra]

build a base and summon it

[worldly salmon]

did you finish phase 5 of the expo?

[finite gull]

i did the main parts yeah

checkpoint 5 and road trip 5

[worldly salmon]

it was a feeling aparently not fact lol

[worldly salmon]

when you finish all parts of phase 5 you should be able to summon your ship to you

[last summit]

It freezes my entire console too it’s not just something I can easily get out of

[zealous rock]

Even on single player I still crash

[wraith junco]

Wait for fix

[zealous rock]

I am just frustrating

[finite gull]

trying but it still says damaged

[thick umbra]

@finite gull check if you can build a base

[finite gull]

cant build one

[thick umbra]

than you did not finish all missions

[stone lotus]

Is your ship showing up on your hud now? Like the icon? Mine magically appeared about 400u away

[worldly salmon]

not sure what to tell you, have you quit and installed the patch yet?

[stone lotus]

I had to run to it

[finite gull]

i literally have done all 5 checkpoints and road trips

[thick umbra]

quit and get the new patch 6.22

[worldly salmon]

complete ALL milestones in phase 5, then you should be able to summon your ship

[finite gull]

i’m on the 16th of february patch

[stone lotus]

Your ship isn't just damaged before completing the milestones; it's straight up INVISIBLE. Once you unlock it, it reappears and you can walk to it; it'll be within 1000u of you

If you can't summon it, look for the icon and go find it manually

If you have no icon, then you haven't completed the necessary milestones, or it's bugged, but I'm leaning on the former

I think i had to complete more than just the rendezvous milestones

I didn't get my ship until I had all but like 2 misc milestones completed

[violet tide]

is there anyone with a corvet that could come pick me up and bring me to the waste site? I got launched into space with a glitch and now im 2 hours from the objective area, it's been a long and lonely drive

[grave light]

is normal that my first waste processing unit I should reach is 2 hours from where I'am, on the exocraft! ??

[stone lotus]

Can't get corvette in the expedition

You can't even clone your main ship

[neon belfry]

Part 3, mission 2, i must discuter new species while driving the Colossus. Problem is, i already discovered them, when walking. Can i do something or am i f*cked ?

[stone lotus]

If you try building a corvette, the claim button will be grayed out

[coarse garnet]

You can finish the mission then come back with your corvette

[grave light]

I understand more missions ahead, but the first one is pain D:

[finite gull]

where would i find the 6th creature

[stone lotus]

No you cannot, at least if you went through an existing save

All means of getting another ship are blocked; i tried

I even tried getting an interceptor

[coarse garnet]

Why ?
Simply create a base while in the expedition, then finish the expedition and teleport to it

[violet tide]

RIP, this is going to be a looooong drive

[stone lotus]

If you do that, you're not in the expedition anymore lol

The guy stranded in space will be on the expedition server

[coarse garnet]

Is it really not the same server ?

[stone lotus]

You'll be in a normal mode server

And won't be able to see or interact with expedition players

[stone lotus]

It's not

[neon belfry]

Excuse me, guys please ?

[past oak]

Is the XBox build ahead or behind the Switch 2 build?

[stone lotus]

I tried everything i could to try and cheese a corvette in just to help people and everything failed; you'll have to use a save editor to replace the ship it gives you with a corvette

And that only helps if you've completed enough milestones to unlock the ship

You cannot help another player by using a corvette unless you save edit

[round sapphire]

I have like 12 empty slots it won’t let me receive them

[stone lotus]

You need more, like 20 lol

[stone lotus]

Check pins

[thick umbra]

did you upload them to get the nanites ?

[stone lotus]

Are you on pc?

[finite gull]

how did you complete feild guid

[neon belfry]

If discovered without the Colossus, will it work ? Didn't try yet actually, thanks

[round sapphire]

Got it thank you

[finite gull]

actually

wrong one

[finite gull]

although, what’s the 6th creature

[violet tide]

yes i am

[stone lotus]

This expedition is a disaster lmao, and ive completed every expedition

[stone lotus]

Okay how far is the point you're trying to reach?

[coarse garnet]

No worry, just check the pin

[thick umbra]

could be that your Colossus has not enough free space ?

[round sapphire]

I got it

[violet tide]

1 hour+ away

[round sapphire]

Just needed like almost 20 empty slots lol

[neon belfry]

You're the second to tell me that, i'm sorry but i don't understand "the pin"

[coarse garnet]

There has been way worse. This one is pretty quick actually

[coarse garnet]

Pinned messages

[finite gull]

what’s the nocturnal creature

[neon belfry]

Ooooh okay excuse me, thanks

[stone lotus]

Have you tried killing yourself to see if it spawns you closer? I don't mean that as a crude joke lol

[stone lotus]

I'm not talking about duration, im talking about technical problems

[past oak]

I agree it's a mess. No difference in Colossus engine as far as driving uphill until you get the S upgrades. I switch to my XBX the other day from Switch 2 to play on that TV for a bit without knowing the version was different from the Switch 2 build. Been crashes galore ever since.
I'm finally nearing the end though, 1 volatile and 2 radio active wastes to go and I'm done.

[stone lotus]

It's one thing to roll down a steep hill and just genuinely mess up, it's another to trip on a tiny spec of carbon crystal and be jettisoned into space lol

[coarse garnet]

Expedition are always a mess during the first two or three days.
Sometimes destroying your save, sometimes not finishable, sometimes misguiding you, always littered with bugs

[past oak]

Right? went from 18 scrap to 11 on a bump yesterday. Now I'm 3 shy hahaha

[stone lotus]

Yeah but this one in general was not well thought out. If something goes wrong and you end up 8 hours from your assigned processing plant, you're just screwed; it won't even let you use a closer one

[coarse garnet]

Personally on the PC version except the mechanical legs stuck on crystal and one time my colossus randomly clipped half through the ground, I had no issues
Steam Deck btw

[stone lotus]

I had very few issues but I've seen lots of reports from other people

[violet tide]

spawned right next to where I died

[coarse garnet]

How did it happen for you to be sent so far away like that ?

[stone lotus]

Okay well at least we ruled that out. You'll have to save edit or walk an hour. Honestly I'd just do the hour but it's up to you

But if it was 8 hours? Yeah that's a save edit lol

[past oak]

Xbox build is the worse off by far. I can't go back to Switch 2 until they get the versions realigned I'm just not sure which one is behind or ahead. Hopefully every platform gets 6.22 at the same time.

[violet tide]

My internet started ;lagging, my colossus decided to slide everywhere and then I hit a hole, next thing I know I'm in space

I was able to call my ship but didn't have a marker where to go, the only marker I had was a trading post

[coarse garnet]

Did you have multiplayer on ?

[stone lotus]

You might also be able to join a friend if they're also in the expedition

[violet tide]

I landed at the post and couldn't take off

[coarse garnet]

Xbox is way behind so wait for its update

[stone lotus]

I'm close to starting a new expedition save and save edit giving myself a corvette just to help people who are stranded due to bugs

[violet tide]

yeah I have MP on, I was able to get my colussus but it's stil an hour drive, I've just been pickup up grabbing salvage data and special junk along the way

[stone lotus]

Honestly unless you're explicitly going to use multiplayer to fix this issue, like joining a friend, you're better off turning it off

[coarse garnet]

The multiplayer on could be the cause of the glitch too if some weird interactions happened (as you mentioned your internet lagging)

[past oak]

Good to know. This expedition is on my main save as well so I really need that corrected. 😬

[violet tide]

i normally play expeditions with it on just to interact with random people tbh

[coarse garnet]

I understand, but I advise to do that once it has been out for a week, after the first few patches 😄

[stone lotus]

I also think I finally discovered the source of the bases because you cannot build a base in this expedition unless you finish it: the bases are from non expedition players and they're just getting synced across servers like it does with every game mode except perma death

[elder chasm]

PC version, not unusual for the col to get stuck in the ground via the rear track ( not sure if it's because of the tracks or w/e ). Just glad that's over with...
Species that wage war trade and spread themselves over several galaxies not having palettization or ratchet straps doing hazard waste disposal via flatbed manually driven trucks over non-standardized roads.... check... As soon as I figured out what the Expedition was and checked my unrepairable ship; I wanted the "self-removal" emote immediately.

[stone lotus]

Usually expeditions get filtered out like perma death but maybe that isn't working

[past oak]

That's annoying, I couldn't mine pyrite anywhere near the disposal center yesterday because of that

[stone lotus]

Turn off multiplayer and then restart the game

[violet tide]

if you report the base it disappears for you and then you can mine the pyrite

[worldly salmon]

this is the 21 expo and people havent learned to turn off multiplayer yet

[past oak]

Sweet, didn't know that. I'll turn of MP as well though.

I have it off on Switch 2 just forgot to change it on the Xbox

[coarse garnet]

Glad to have chosen the front track option at the start

[past oak]

I mostly play on my S2, just didn't realize the settings don't carry over and that XB was behind on the patch.

[coarse garnet]

We once had an exploration where you could not be lifted up by tornadoes if you had multiplayer on so random glitches can certainly be caused by it too

[violet tide]

it is what it issss

[coarse garnet]

For your hour long trip back remember to equip the engine update (top speed) if you haven't yet. Won't make a major change, but better than nothing.

[worldly salmon]

bro that wasnt intended to be personal, but the amount of people struggling because of MP issues surprises me

[past oak]

I didn't take it that way bruv.

[coarse garnet]

We are humans, we enjoy our games more with other people around 😄
And sometimes MP don't break everything

[rocky fractal]

I had some great interactions with others at expedition waypoints in the past. Turning off MP makes endless space even more lonely.

[gloomy horizon]

is there anyway to stop a starship from blowing up my load?

[worldly salmon]

Whos bright idea was it to make pirates attack you when you cant fight back?

[coarse garnet]

I had an alert once, but they didn't attack...
So they really can... good luck. Time to dig a hole !

[worldly salmon]

yeah truck full of trash goes boom fast

[gloomy horizon]

my third attempt at the last waste heap collection point -.-

[ashen turret]

multiplayer is fine if you've already gotten the story mission stuff done, but it can cause inconsistency in game state during those missions if someone else does your objective, among other things

[lofty storm]

I must have been lucky. I was fired on quite a few times, but just kept moving and never got hit.

[violet tide]

. . . . your minig laser can aim backwards at your cargo . . . . going down hill and went mine a rock, it mined my cargo and blew up 20 different special wastes 🙃

[coarse garnet]

Players who just finished the expedition and got their ship back can do the same to you btw

[coarse garnet]

Not anymore since the latest update (or it should)

[violet tide]

let me guess, it just got released

[random torrent]

With the legs on i was getting stuck on every blue crystal patch. Had to switch back to wheels

[worldly salmon]

that was fixed with the patch today

[coarse garnet]

1 hour and half ago

[coarse garnet]

Fixed with the latest update too

[random torrent]

Well I finished the expedition last night lol. Felt like a real job, but with no pay

[violet tide]

i've been playing for 4

[lofty storm]

Isn't that lovely? Lmao you're one of the select few who got to experience that bit of fuckery

[coarse garnet]

Time to restart the game to get rid of some nasty bugs

[random torrent]

After all is said and done, is this just another way to get nanites? Coz sheesh there are easier ways lol

[past oak]

Indeed. Seent the patch notes and was rolling my eyes at all the things they just fixed that I suffered through yesterday when I had time to play

[lofty storm]

Agreed. But, spider colossus lol

[random torrent]

Yeah that's why I finished it lol. Not sure if worth it but have it 🙃

Now I can share "where did that hole come from" and "39 minutes to arrival?" Ptsd stories later

[royal jetty]

is there an easy way to find the last 2 minerals besides just randomly scanning? I did look in caves.

[random torrent]

My last one needed was a pebble in the grey half pipes

[royal jetty]

grey halfpipes?

[lofty storm]

Dry river beds lol

[random torrent]

Like, the long dug out half pipe looking sections

Yeah that

[bright pier]

Does anyone have the glyphs to get back to the expedition planet Dosluhei?

[thick umbra]

found my on top of one of the mountain

[royal jetty]

found it thx

it was in riverbank

[random torrent]

Half pipe 🫡

[rain laurel]

What rating would yall rank this expedition compared to all the others (1-10)

[random torrent]

1.5

[rain laurel]

Pretty fair to be honest

[random torrent]

Having played with the launch bugs, 1.5. Now, maybe a 2?

[lofty storm]

You don't like fetch questing death stranding style? Haha

[cosmic sand]

Can we get a bug fix so that I’m not able to laser my cargo when trying to free my truck?

[random torrent]

I think the only fun I had personally was when I realized I could freethrow shoot the biohazard pieces instead of walking them up the stairs. That's why I gave it 1.5 instead of 1 lol

[gloomy horizon]

when does a waste pile re-spawn?

[lofty storm]

You did about 2 hours ago

[cosmic sand]

Wdym I just destroyed all my cargo with my colossus mining laser trying to get unstuck

[worldly salmon]

2/10 kills a couple hours and then forget about this as a thing as soon as you finish, no value outside collecting trash truck parts for something you wont uses again in any meaningful way

[lofty storm]

It's in the announcements

[rain laurel]

Hey at least you finished I gave up I couldn't not stand it nice job tho

[random torrent]

Oh they'll make us do at least 1 trash run in some future expedition. This wasn't all for nothing. And we'll all sigh and remember launching 9 barrels up out of a hole we dropped into winter of '26

[finite gull]

so, i did safari somehow which means i also found all 6 creatures but uuuh
feild guide is broken

it’s for some reason at 0

[worldly salmon]

well i have all the expo rewards and titles and parts so i was only doing it to collet the parts to say i have them

[rain laurel]

This was the last thing I saw on that expedition

[thick umbra]

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,
urn on offline mode, or block NMS.exe from accessing the internet somehow, open the game, load your save and it should autocomplete.
You can now go back online, just make sure you save after completing.

[finite gull]

and that’ll fix it?

[thick umbra]

check the pins

Upload it first

[finite gull]

yeah the creature data is uploaded

then i?

[thick umbra]

you got the latest patch 6.22 ?

[lofty storm]

It's the nanite bonus you get for discovering all of them. You need to claim that.

[finite gull]

yes

atleast i think so cus the earliest update i got was today

[remote thunder]

yep

[royal jetty]

can I rate it -10?

[rain laurel]

That's fair

[finite gull]

-11

infact, i ain’t even gonna rate it

[royal jetty]

• infinity?

[finite gull]

so again what do i do after uploading

[worldly salmon]

Finish everything you can in the expo and when that's the only thing left you can call you ship and go to another planet.

[thick umbra]

did you claim the nanites ?

[finite gull]

out of the MANY years i’ve played this game i have NEVER seen this button

[thick umbra]

haha than you lost a lot of nanites

[random torrent]

You have a lot of nanites to claim lol

[devout echo]

You've been missing out on these nanites for years?

[finite gull]

eh not rlly
all my stuff is S tier anyway

[finite gull]

clearly

[random torrent]

Do you get those with the claim all button?

[devout echo]

dang

[random torrent]

Like on the system page?

[devout echo]

That's a good question ... but I don't think so.

that's a guess tho

[finite gull]

just gotta finish waypoints now

[stray needle]

ngl the waypoint one is kinda of a pain

[finite gull]

eh just need to do 1 more

[thick umbra]

Why .. every heap you should have visited does have one ...

[devout echo]

Like lets say you finish 5 planets worth and forget to click that button ... you gotta go back to each planet to click that button to claim them.

[finite gull]

then i can leave this stoopid planet ❤️‍🩹

[stray needle]

wait they do?

[finite gull]

this was before the update

[cedar galleon]

the damn waypoints...

[finite gull]

the only good thing i’d say abt this
is the rewards

spooder legs and a new cockpit

[thick umbra]

if you save .. that should give a waypoint .. or ?

[rugged storm]

is there any way to get the ship to spawn in?

[lofty storm]

A nifty Mortal Kombat fit too

[finite gull]

i guess

oh cool my ship got repaired

[dry patrol]

I was wondering how you get to the nexus to end the event

that explains it

[random torrent]

Ship repair gnomes

[rose veldt]

OK so. Dumb question here.. But how can you leave the space station?

[finite gull]

alr

everything done

[dry patrol]

teleport back to a base

[finite gull]

better question
how did you get in there

[dry patrol]

there are bases with teleportals all around the planet

[rose veldt]

With the teleporter from a random base

[dry patrol]

the answer is to teleport back to a random base

[rose veldt]

But but. At the space station everything is empty

[dry patrol]

it shouldnt be, its a fully stocked space station you just dont have a ship to fly out of it with

you can get an S class boost upgrade for your exocraft there though

and a B class

[rose veldt]

i'm not alone in this situation

[light flower]

I FINALLY COMPLETED IT…T-T

[rose veldt]

others here says the same

[dry patrol]

oh thats weird

I was able to just go back to a base

lol

[rose veldt]

Same

That was yesterday

That's why it's weird now that I can't go back

[dry patrol]

you're in space jail now

for space crimes

[rose veldt]

Let me check something real quick

[dry patrol]

my suggestion would be to load a cloud save from before you teleported up there

you might lose some progress but its better than being stuck

[violet tide]

guys! I finally made it under and hour left!

only 59 more minutes of driving

[dry patrol]

LOL

[cosmic sand]

Hey man you don’t happen to know if this has to be done in the expedition or not?

[thick umbra]

I would do it in exp.. because you did already a certain amount of each

[dry patrol]

do you not keep your progress toward titles when you leave the expedition?

[rose veldt]

Yeah. I lost like 15 minutes.. But that's oke

[wraith junco]

Idk if it unlocks on all saves if u started new expedition save.

[thick umbra]

it does unlock all titles in all other saves

[wraith junco]

U can do them on any saves. Only expedition rewards are mandatory to get expedition rewards like the spider legs or hierloom set.

[finite gull]

so how do i start the new quest line?

[thick umbra]

right .. but than you start with 0

[wraith junco]

Titles are cross save. But idk about cosmetics..

[thick umbra]

as long as you are in exp .. you have already a certain amount

[thick umbra]

You will get it from the QS guy .. I guess

[violet tide]

45 minutes left . . .

[wraith junco]

Expedition items. Yes. Idk about other colossus parts

[thick umbra]

thats what I see on one of my other daves

[thick umbra]

Which other parts ? All non exp rewards can be done either in exp. or later in any save
As in the picture .. 4 to 8

[random torrent]

I had the 50/50/50 because on return from each pile I'd scan occasionally and another little waste pile would be close to my path, hop out and find an extra piece or two to toss in the back

[wraith junco]

The ones u unlock after 50 waste disposed

[worldly salmon]

this expo needs a map to plot a route and avoid hills

[thick umbra]

I did them all during the exp ... that way my colossus is maxed out in all other saves

[barren bone]

Question about expeditions in general. This is the first one ive ever actually finished. Are expeditions meant to only take a couple of days/a week to complete even though they run for 5 weeks? Or have there been past expeditions that actually take a bit of time to finish?

[worldly salmon]

its 6 weeks so they can fix the bugs ....

[random torrent]

Lol

[barren bone]

right, so the milestones are typicaly not meant to take weeks to complete?

[worldly salmon]

its a 4 hour expo 6 if your slow

[random torrent]

They can be speed ran, but i think the time is for max participation

"I can only play 30-45 minutes on the weekends" are not excluded. "We're going on vacation for 2 weeks" are not excluded

[barren bone]

gotcha. So all past expeditions are similar? Only needing 4-6 hours of playtime to finish

[cedar galleon]

i figured out the waypointssssss

just leave them for the end, when you can go to other planets and then find the waypoints on other planets and those count too

[worldly salmon]

yeah thats a good ballpark figure

[barren bone]

👍

[drowsy cloud]

wait when can I go to other plantets? :o I only have the waypoint milestone left rn

[barren bone]

if you find your ship you should be able to go now

[random torrent]

That was the worst for me. I didn't catch that in the read ahead and didn't get any till that mission. I was ALL over the place trying to get the abandoned building, exo suit upgrade and junk piles, in the worst order

[drowsy cloud]

omg yes the ship marker spawned

amazing

<3

[tulip swallow]

does getting all the fauna without using the cyclops visor just softlock the entire expedition

[cedar galleon]

just call your ship and go

at least thats what i did

because it seems that the ship got automatically repaired

[barren bone]

no, to complete the milestone just go to the discovery page and click the button to get your nanites

fauna discovery page

I was reading that the ship gets repaired for you once you complete a certain level of the milestones. Players that use their primary save would need some way to get back to the anomoly to revery back to their normal save

[violet tide]

20 minutes to go, the nightmare is almost over

[magic tundra]

after

32 consecutive crashes

i finally beat it

[random torrent]

Getting waypoints i literally just held forward and boost with one hand while eating dinner. So fun!

[stone lotus]

On what platform?

[magic tundra]

Mac

[stone lotus]

Any mods installed?

[magic tundra]

Nay

[magic tundra]

I already have

[violet tide]

I made it back to the mission area finally

[tame brook]

some bug cause my colossus exocraft to much more bigger and kinda cool

[ashen furnace]

Finally dragged my colossus across the land and just when I'm about to reach my destination, everything gets flung out of my flatbed and when I finally put everything back, my game crashed and a majority of my waste just vanished into thin air 🥲

[void ledge]

I cant finish the mineral quest I only found 7

[tame brook]

i think it would be cool idea to make the colosus bigger

[ashen furnace]

HAve you checked the caves and the "roads"? some tiny rocks spawn there that I was missing. Also on top of the pillars some unique minerals can spawn, in my experience.

[floral imp]

Greetings question how do I access expeditions?

[void ledge]

Thank you

Ive tried a lot of rocks and I cant find anything

I spent hours looking for it

[cedar galleon]

yayyy i finished the expedition!!!

[violet tide]

I just got the bug too

[solemn bane]

Either from the new game menu or on existing saves on the Anomaly behind the nexus there is a ln expedition console.

[fallen junco]

This might be the worst expedition I have done so far

[worldly salmon]

did it feel like community service punishment to you too?

[violet tide]

You may think its bad but my colussus is mega sized so im happy

[fallen junco]

It felt like they didn't put any thought into it

They chose a planet made up of mostly mountains!

What where they thinking?!

[ashen furnace]

Bruh what... I have set "can access exocraft flatbed" set to no one and yet when I arrived at the processing facility, people started taking my stuff out and processing it. Lost everything.

[fallen junco]

It might be faster to just walk and carry them one by one

Screw this stupid FOMO

[solemn bane]

lol. Sorry. Turn off multiplayer in the network settings.

[violet tide]

just take your time driving man, large drops and hitting objects are what cause the launching of materials

[fallen junco]

The whole planet is an obstacle

There are bumps everywhere

The terrain is never flat

[brazen adder]

does anyone know where i can find the mineral 'PillarOfStone'? or can i get a photo of it please?

[fallen junco]

Always tilted

[fallen junco]

In caves

[violet tide]

yes, that is the point, survey the land, plan your routes, scan often

[brazen adder]

thanks!

[fallen junco]

They are those stalagmite things

[brazen adder]

appreciate it!

[fallen junco]

A stupid point

[fallen junco]

You are welcome

[violet tide]

if they did this on a flat planet everyone would complain its too flat and easy

[fallen junco]

The problem is that there are no flat areas.

[worldly salmon]

You cannot convince me this is a expo to test LNF mechanics

[fallen junco]

It's just difficult

With no relief

[worldly salmon]

the great an powerful OZ has punished me for suggesting as much

[fallen junco]

I have 6 weeks on me to do this. It's going to be 6 looong weeks

Why does special waste only spawn in waste heaps?

Why can't I find it just lying about

[violet tide]

brother, i have completed the whole thing today, and that with a glitch that launched me into space and forced me to drive 2 hours. I'm telling you stop spamming boost and going max speed and it is easier

[worldly salmon]

it doesnt

[fallen junco]

Brother. You have patience that I lack.

And because I lack that otherworldly patience I get frustrated everytime the waste rolls down the hills forcing me to walk all the way down to get it back

[solemn bane]

You must have patience and drive slow in this spaceship flying game.

[fallen junco]

Could you elaborate?

[prisma oracle]

When do i get the spider legs?

[violet tide]

are you playing mouse and keyboard or with a controller?

[worldly salmon]

some of the rando trash piles have 1 barrel of special waste

[fallen junco]

This expedition is just a 9-5 Garbage Truck simulator

[fallen junco]

Controller

I also just came back from work

[brazen adder]

I dont even mind that the expedition is really slow, it's the bugs that are fucking annoying more than anything

[fallen junco]

That is insanely good to know. Thank you

[fallen junco]

I am a playstation 5 user

[violet tide]

then its easy, just keep your stick at half and then you won't be forcing max speed

[finite gull]

recalibrate exocraft visuals from a colossus geobay?

explain

also why can’t i add a flatbed to my collossus

[fallen junco]

Change the exocraft visuals by using the exocraft spawner

[finite gull]

what visuals

the chassis button is pulsing yellow but the flatbay is still locked

[worldly salmon]

recycle 1 piece of scrap and it should unlock

[finite gull]

nope

still locked

[hoary shadow]

i had same problem, still dont know fix

[fallen junco]

I see now that I repeated what you said, my bad.

[worldly salmon]

you have to walk 1 scrap up to the furnace and drop dont throw it

[finite gull]

o

nah still locked ;-;

i am talking about the main game btw not expedition

[rugged storm]

how are these people getting ships setup here

[solemn bane]

See my pinned comment to see how to unlock your ship: #nms-expedition message

To get a base computer, finish the expedition if you started it on a new save, if you started it on an existing save you can take a screenshot of the planet with the portal glyphs and portal back there on your primary save.

[fallen junco]

I got attacked by pirates while transporting waste

Just my luck

[rugged storm]

portal glyphs?

[fallen junco]

"Attack vector"

[rugged storm]

eh ill figure it out

how will it effect my expedition progress if i come in with my main save

[solemn bane]

It won't. They are effectively different saves.

[finite gull]

ok i’m fine now, i reloaded my save

[ivory wave]

anybody been able to build a corvette that can transport your colossus with hazmat in it?

[solemn bane]

Doesn't work. Once your ship liftsts off it is no longer considered similar to a building and everything falls through it.

[ivory wave]

Ahhh ok. Bummer

[fallen junco]

Why do I get attack vectors so often?

Is that intentional?

[remote thunder]

hmm, i've seen another player report that they were getting attacked really often, but tbh ime i must have "gotten attacked" maybe like 3 times - and tbf, they didnt even seem to actually be caring much about me, as i kept driving on

[solemn bane]

I didn't get attacked at all until about the last 15 minutes of the expedition where I got attacked like 5 times, each time they shot at me once then flew off.

[fallen junco]

I have been attacked 3 times this hour

[solemn bane]

Yep, seems to come in waves, I guess, lol.

[jagged sedge]

I think they might be stormtroopers, didn't hit me even once

[fallen junco]

I haven't been hit yet.

When I get the notification, I immediately run away from my colossus and bury down into the ground

[worldly salmon]

my trash was hit and it destroyed it all

[fallen junco]

I then return afterwards

[fallen junco]

That's trash

[solemn bane]

I just ignored them and kept driving slowly and they never hit me

[worldly salmon]

😂

[mild root]

Does anyone think wall-e should added to NMS the expedition reminded meb0f that for some reason 🤔

Just imagine having that little guy robot making big piles pf scrap for you everyday

[solemn bane]

Also a PSA, you can do this to unlock your ship and go kill them if you want:

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, this will also unlock your ship. You can put save beacons down at each point to easily find them again later

[fallen junco]

Alright, I managed to get 5 pieces back to camp. Where do I dispose of them?

[solemn bane]

Manually put them in the processing unit with the matching icon

[muted mortar]

@remote thunder bit the bullet and downloaded the game on my laptop. 1 the laser works, 2 WOW this is a graphics upgrade from Steam Deck

[fallen junco]

Thank you so much!

[mild root]

What's it like on the steam deck?

[muted mortar]

Not bad about the same as on PC work a little more aliasing on edges but in this expedition the mining laser hasn't worked

[upbeat fulcrum]

hm, got my ship in the end, but cannot call the anomaly in space?

did i miss anything?

[solemn bane]

Either finish all the milestones or jump systems once

[worldly salmon]

do you have the option to call it?

[upbeat fulcrum]

no, that option is missing ....

[mild root]

Again it's the limitations on hardware what handheld console CAN handle and what can't

[upbeat fulcrum]

not even finishing, but collecting the rewards made the option appear ...

[solemn bane]

Yeah that's what I meant

The expedition isn't over until you collect rewards

[loud coral]

Question
How long do we have to finish the expedition?

[solemn bane]

You can check the Events in this Discord to see the end date

[loud coral]

Thanks

[mild root]

5 weeks

[loud coral]

Thanks XD,I kinda got burned out traversing mountains in fear of loosing cargo...

[ashen furnace]

Anyone else completely unable to land their ship on the expedition planet after unlocking it?

[solemn bane]

That's weird, what does it say?

[worldly salmon]

it happens even outside of the expo

[ashen furnace]

Nothing. I press the button for landing and no warning, no prompt, no nothing.

[solemn bane]

huh, guess I'll go try

[solemn bane]

I just lifted off and landed at the processing plant just fine.

Flew a ways away from it and also landed fine. Maybe relog?

[ashen furnace]

Tried that several times already, always just spawns me back in my ship mid-air.

[upbeat fulcrum]

hm, no other ships allowed this time ...

[solemn bane]

Super weird. I'm not even finished with the expedition on this save, I just did the minimum to unlock my ship to test yesterday.

[ashen furnace]

Damn... guess I'm just extremely unlucky, was just a single milestone away from finishing the expedition.

[solemn bane]

Maybe try leaving the atmosphere then fly back down and try again? And/or maybe try finding a landing pad.

[short sinew]

Anyone else stuck on the galactic hub ?

[vernal vigil]

just completed the expedition!!

hardest part was the 16 of each special scrap type

[ashen furnace]

Landing pads seem to work but any terrain landing seems to be impossible, no matter what I do...

[proper relic]

so i just scanned the last creature i needed but the milestone reset to 0/6... does anyone know how to fix this?

[solemn bane]

Upload on discoveries tab

[proper relic]

ohh

thank you 😅

[worldly salmon]

doesnt that milestone tell you to register them all for completion? i feel like it does

i feel like they should re-word that milestone as its a commonly asked question

[tulip reef]

Why is finding all the animals the most time consuming part for me

[lofty sandal]

it does but you have to look i the expedition menu for it to make any sense oorc

[lofty sandal]

idk bro i struggled with that one too 😭

[tulip reef]

Also why are people complaining about spider legs

[solemn bane]

Try to walk over dihydrogen

[worldly salmon]

its been patched already

[solemn bane]

Oh, right. I wonder how much of my pinned info changed.

[valid roost]

Right so after a bit of advice, I have one milestone left of which being the radioactive waste mission, all rendezvous points dont have anymore of it and im having no luck finding it throughout the area, does anyone have any advice for it?

[solemn bane]

Keep on truckin.

[solemn bane]

But seriously, if that's the only milestone you have left, then you have a ship. Summon it, fly to the other side of the planet, summon your collosus, scan for another heap then pick some up there and scan for another processing plant.

[shut pasture]

Waste heaps should respawn; restart your game and go to one, looking for random waste with your visor/scanner on the way

[cerulean olive]

have a funny feeling that the furnace chassis doesn't count toxic/radioactive/explosive waste to the overall stats?

[worldly salmon]

you are correct

[cerulean olive]

well, screw the other customization modules then. I'm not gonna drive waste all over the place on the flatbed anymore.

[foggy valley]

Mother of god, why are the da,m structures so far away from each other 😭

[worldly salmon]

if they were close it wouldn't cause the trauma or aggravation.

[foggy valley]

fr, whoever at hello games came up with this expedition just wanted to see people suffer lol

[worldly salmon]

im calling it the community service punishment expo

[foggy valley]

lmao

[worldly salmon]

little hi vis jacket while we pick up trash on the side of the road questioning our life choices

[umbral aurora]

Just dropped in to say this expedition is the worst gameplay experience I have had in NMS and I'm a day one player.

Who thought that driving up and down sheer cliff faces while managing cargo was going to be fun?

Absolutely terrible experience.

is there a work around for being stuck on the space station?

[stone lotus]

How did you get there?

[worldly salmon]

im not a friend is

[solemn bane]

Can you use the teleporter to find a base on the planet to teleport to?

[worldly salmon]

no bases in the teleporter

[stone lotus]

Double check that multiplayer is enabled and then restart the game

[signal pilot]

!uptime

[worldly salmon]

having them try that now thank you

[signal pilot]

still not live for xbox?

[remote thunder]

should be yes

what do you see?

[queen viper]

can i move items from colossus to anomaly somehow at the end ofd expedition??
i dont have ship

[remote thunder]

no, you wont be able to get waste off a planet

[past oak]

Finished the expedition on XB waiting for updates to each system so I can get my main save back on my Switch 2

[queen viper]

what u mean waste ? i wanna transfer mods mostly

[remote thunder]

oh i thought you wanted - nevermind. well, sure, just move i.e. store them to the ship and exosuit. you'll have a ship by the time you complete all checkpoint and roadtrip milestones

[queen viper]

im on phase 5 almost finisgh and no ship is that normal ?

[remote thunder]

as mentioned, all checkpoint and all roadtrip milestones of each phase

[signal pilot]

i was looking at the version on the news ticker. its 6.20.2

[queen viper]

ok ty

[remote thunder]

exp21 released with 6.20

so you're good server side

[queen viper]

i will end on phase 5 with 14/16 toxic waste milestone, where i can find other toxics? i need to use radar in exocraft to find waste h.?

[signal pilot]

oh, all the others say 6.21 so i thought that was the one

thanks

[remote thunder]

yep, but you can also find some around you

[queen viper]

but i heard that its rare

to find it randomly

[remote thunder]

not ime

uncommon sure

compared to basic waste

but it's not super hard to come by, just chill and drive around, pick a direction to stick with, dont stray too far of a waste plant

[queen viper]

aight

ill try

[night thistle]

I am in phase5, it says milestones are needed, i did everything ?

[remote thunder]

what says milestones are needed sorry?

[night thistle]

I.ll look in a bit, I'm not at pc

[remote thunder]

what were you trying to do?

[night thistle]

I couldnt click the complete phase5 button last night

[ancient hazel]

scanning always gives the same waste heap...wth

[remote thunder]

hmm, maybe it needed a game restart. see what happens on the next boot

[remote thunder]

did you do all the checkpoint milestones already, one per each phase?

[night thistle]

OK soon lol...ty for the help

[remote thunder]

np. feel free to ping when you got more 🙂

[ancient hazel]

yep, i only have to do the toxic and rad wastes

also for some reason Scanning all creatures is not counting?

[remote thunder]

okay, so 1) try to save+restart game 2) try to scan for waste plant instead - often there's heaps near it. 3) pick a direction, east or west, drive till you find first building. then head north or south, and try to apply a scan every 1000-2000u or so.

[tulip reef]

It worked fine

[remote thunder]

try to hit the additional nanite reward bonus button (discoveries/system/planet/fauna view)

[ancient hazel]

ok thx for the help but, i event left the planet, landed on a different one, scanned for waste heap and still gave me the same on on the main planet :))) Also driving mindless to far is a PAIN to get back with all the waste then :(((

[solemn bane]

Yes, it was patched today, as noted

[ancient hazel]

👍

[weak niche]

So just checking, we just straight up don't have starships in this one, right?

[foggy valley]

look on the pins, you can ''cheese it''

[remote thunder]

not until you complete all checkpoint and roadtrip milestones.

[austere wave]

if anyone has seen this ship could you let me know as I've lost it and would like to leave the planet once if done the expedition 👍 and no I can't summon it to me as it needs to be repaired after my game crashed at the start of the expo

[remote thunder]

not until you complete all checkpoint and roadtrip milestones.
then game will spawn it near you

[weak niche]

also do you just have to run ridiculously far to just find a place to put down a geobay

[quiet pond]

think i ran into it last night i just gotta check if its on the planet it think it is

[austere wave]

ohhhhh ok 👍 i thought i had just lost it somewhere

[quiet pond]

then again idk

[remote thunder]

when we first spawn, game spawns it near us, just doesnt give us a ship marker. but it's actually there. an easy trick to find our ship (unless they outright blocked it from spawning somehow) when we start a new char is to take close notice of the direction our char spawns looking towards: that's the direction of our ship.

[weak niche]

Wait so does starting with multiplayer off get rid of everyone's bases so I can actually play the game

[remote thunder]

• if you already start the game with mp disabled, what that will do is prevent any non-uploaded bases of other online players from showing up. this reduces how many you could see.
• that wont prevent your game client from connecting to base upload server, and download any nearby player bases - going offline or blocking game from going online would though.

[rugged storm]

i love the mechanical legs so much

skiddadling around the planet

[marsh mountain]

I just found the 6th creature on the planet and saw it says 0/6. Is it bugged?

nvm

didn't register....

[austere wave]

you got to collect the reward for finding all 6 in the discoveries tab

[marsh mountain]

reading is hard apparently

I'm definitely struggling to find the 8th mineral

[solemn bane]

Try the one mentioned in the pinned comment: #nms-expedition message

[marsh plover]

quick question i finished exp days ago but when i go to my primary save colossus i don’t have flatbed or furnace module

[marsh mountain]

Boom, that was it.

[solemn bane]

I found a planet with Salvagable Scrap, landed, summoned my collosus, made a radar, scanned for a processing plant, went to the plant and interacted with the console, made the grav gun, repelled waste, attracted waste 3x, then recycled one waste and got the flatbed unlocked.

[copper horizon]

hey guys im playing no mans sky right now hehe

[solemn bane]

You will regret this.

[foggy valley]

lol, the price at the end of this expedition is the rest of your sanity

[marsh plover]

i will try thank thank you

[remote thunder]

i'm sorry you guys didn't enjoy the expedition, i am - maybe sad is the better word

[copper horizon]

i met God in no mans sky

oh hey i like never have joined an expedition only once cause am very shy

[marsh plover]

i enjoyed it a bit but a lot of parts annoyed me like i was crashing out a few times 🤣😭

[worldly salmon]

so there's like 20 people trapped on the space station in the expo because it will not let you teleport back anyone got any ideas?

[foggy valley]

I mean, the concept of this exp is generally cool, what makes it bad are the 10-15 minutes drives from point to point and driving over the worst surface you can with this practicular type of cargoship

[tribal condor]

my tinfoil hat theory is they're using this expedition to stress test having all the players in the same area to improve their multiplayer code for Light No Fire

[solemn bane]

How do you rank it amongst the other expeditions you've played?

[worldly salmon]

dont say that! the great an powerful oz said not to

[remote thunder]

hmm.. perhaps.. disabling multiplayer and restarting the game? reloading restore point? dying?

[tribal condor]

I did this, accidentally teleported out to the middle of nowhere, and had to use a save editor to fix my shop early to avoid driving for 3 hours back to the waste sites

[foggy valley]

more like:

'-'We don't have enough wishlist entries on LNF''
-''Make them suffer''
😂

[tribal condor]

I honestly might just copy my Corvette into the expedition save once I'm finished with it and hang out on the space station to give people a lift or something
because for a while there I was fully convinced I'd be spending a few days just driving back

[solemn bane]

I'm trying to do some scrapping on my main just to test stuff, but scrap just flies out of my bed randomly even if I just move an inch. There are probably physics bugs that are specific to hardware/graphical settings

[worldly salmon]

that hasn't worked

[tribal condor]

delta time my beloved
