it didn't give me the vibes or adrenaline/rush of other expeditions, it's not exp16, it's not exp7, it's not exp4, that's for sure. but i really dont think exp21 was meant to be any of those things. it felt a lot more like aquarius. chill. i roleplayed that i was actually helping cleaning up the planet, i did my part, and i'll continue doing my part - i sure dont see any sentinels taking care of it, i shall have words with atlas when i next see them. i honestly didnt have a load of dropped objects from my flat bed. when i did, it actually felt that i was the one to blame, it felt ok, yeah, i guess i did went too fast there. some people saying that the planet sucked. i honestly liked it - i'm used to planets with much harsher planet generation, it didn't even have bad weather to speak of.
try spots like these, that look like dried up river beds or solidified magma flows
how to build a base on this expedition planet ?
This was my first expedition. But now whats the point of going back into the expedition after Ive completed it?
Masochism?
you'll have to complete and claim all checkpoint and roadtrip milestones i think to get base computer?
ok let me see
😅 yea. Im not a sadist
idk about this one, i started from new save, and it only gave it to me after i converted to normal
yeah, might need to complete and claim all all

I was lucky enough to find a wild base computer that I claimed
on xbox probably yeah
Not sure how everyone else is putting down bases
some bugs affecting it
i claimed all rewards etc. dont have ship and comp base XDD
how do i go to anomaly
and makle a base damn 😄
do you not have a ship marker right now?
@bright cape if you're on xbox, and you have the option available, check in options/graphics settings, change graphics priority from performance to quality, or vice versa - see if that helps
sorry it is my dinner time I am eating a special soup
remember what i said - i only got the base comp blueprint once i finished and converted to normal, but i started from new save
no base computer available at all ... I think this is intentional.
what u mean converted to normal ?
so why so many bases are everywhere ? do they cheat ?
when you start expedition from new save, that save is going to end up converting to a normal mode save
like i said, i dont know what happens on exp21 in regards to base comp unlock when started from existing save
try to go to space for example
see if that unlocks it
you should have anomaly access already if you already claimed and completed all milestones and phase milestones
goto space, try to summon anomaly
nah still dont hjave it ill try unlock it in anomaly
i did
and went bac k
and nothing
can i use expedition terminal to transfer items as always in this exp?
no, base computer is not among the blue prints in anomaly
Nah, er, well, not TO the expedition, but FROM the expedition yes
right now that i finished the expedition, can i just go to the anomoly, take the valuables i want, and send them to my main save?
yep
how do i find my ship in the new expedition i dont have a waypoint for it
Not specific to the expedition, but looks like the fastest way to scrap 200 waste to get the portable incinerator is to scan for processing plants with your collosus, fly there on yor ship, scrap the regular waste, summon your collosus and scan for another processing plant and repeat the process.
I wonder if that can be leveraged in the expedition somehow.
You don't. Well, you can after you finish the last milestone in phase 5. See my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message
ah okay
i feel kinda bad labotimizing my colossus
You can get it eventually: #nms-expedition message
at what point cause all these charts in the area arent counting towards the roadsigns challenge
Your ship is parked somewhere on the planet, just not easy to find, and you cannot repair til you finish the expedition
Click the comment I linked
are any of the rewards rare items? the excavated bones? does it make sense take them back to the main game?
You can just sell all that crap.
Nothing really rare or interesting as item rewards in this expedition.
what is the "heirloom customization set"?
exosuit customization 🤩
It's just a waste of time to clean up a planet... 😉
haha
i mean i quite enjoyed it
getting hit by pirates was annoying as hell though
and hitting a small bump only to watch my explosive, toxic, or radioactive cargo go flying
damnit i forgot to take my gravity coil out of the multitool
switching to the legs made it much more stable and easier to carry the cargo ....
wish we got full treads instead
This waste heap has no more waste for me to turn in Im on phase 5 any suggestions?
hmmm. well this is a problem
search for random little collections, some of them will have the special waste
Ok so like the industrial waste green icons? & will the waste heaps eventually regenerate and get more back to get
i dont know if they regen, but the standard waste heaps can have special waste.
Thank you!
If this is on a non-expedition save, then you need to interact with the console and follow the quest log up to processing one scrap. If you did and it's still not unlocked, you are bugged (seen it happen a couple times so far).
seems i may be bugged
yeah i just needed to reload the game aand it fixed itself
I would use the exo craft radar to search for more heaps but it only takes me to the same one
After finishing the last Road Trip milestone, you get your ship, so you can fly far away and scan for another heap
Road trip is phase 5 by then tho I won’t need it
It's every phase, and you can do them all at the same time. Seem my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message
Ok bet. Will the waste heaps eventually regenerate the waste?
Yeah, turn off multiplayer in the network tab so you don't have to compete for it as well
hmm, so I did all the checkpoints and road trips, and where should my ship spawn now ?
Ok I just did thank you
Summon it
oooh, literally haha, thanks
uhm, doesn't seems to work, it's damaged
You need to collect the reward for the last road trip
all are collected already, guess something is wrong
i mean the road trips so far
I mean, according to the info in the pins, I can rush through both, road trips and check poiints in order to get the ship riight?
If you've already collected the phase 5 road trip reward, I would try relogging
Yes, tested it twice
Be thankful that your way points are working at least 😭
Visited like 10 and only 4 counted
sadly didn't helped, well gues im phucked, but the rewards for the last trip were also only 600 quicksilver
Yeah it's scuffed, maybe try again in a few weeks
Soo.. if I already scanned all the critters on the planet and now have a objective to scan 2 critters using the scope.. am I just hosed?
If not, what can I do to complete the objective?
Completing the scan all milestone completes the other one
Awesome, thanks!
I just heard a Expedition Tip for Xbox players that might help with the expedition crashing and it's to put the Xbox into performance mode
yeah, some players have even gotten more luck with quality instead of performance, as counter-intuitive that may sound
Welp, shit. Looks like they changed it in the last patch to no loger unlock the ship. Well, that sucks.
It may have been a bug though. In the expedition config it has:
"BlockShipRepairUntilMilestoneWithSeedComplete": [
true,
"0x2F"
],
0x2F = 47, and normally those types of id's mean the 5th phase and the 8th milestone, and the 8th milestone in phase 5 is the completion of phase 5 itself. Before the patch it was the 5th phase and the 7th milestone, so they may have fixed the index lookup there. I'll see what happens when I complete all of phase 5, but not the other phases.
oh man, why didn't I started it earlier lol
Im gonna be honest, this is the one expedition i straight up dont like
Yep, I can't see myself ever doing it again, especially with shit like this happening now https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/979100431315796018/1472915416916426876/rapidsave.com_the_straw_that_broke_the_camels_back_for_me-k3l91hg18ljg1_edit.mp4?ex=6994f7a0&is=6993a620&hm=3db3fae7b2447f9c2b7ad49a1e3dee764e5f661f5c5f1d048a511ccdbdbd33de&
Same. This game usually relaxes me and I rage quit twice over the weekend
Is Roadsigns still bugged?
theres roadsigns?
You mean waypoints?
It's in the Phase 3 of exp. It's called Roadsigns. Mine is stuck at 2 of 6 waypoints. Tried all the suggestions.
The waypoint milestone is named Roadsigns
Oh yeah that's bugged
If you're on PS5 like your tags indicate, then yes. It was fixed on Steam today.
Unless Playstation is still not fixed .. I see
Hopefully the ones you already checked will count, or if it needs to be even new buildings 💀
Will Wait for update on consoles, thanks
Just keeps sending you back to the same darn building when you scan. It was infuriating
That too
i tried going to a station to make some trades but now I cant take the portal back to where i was
Confirmed, this was likely a bug. You have to complete ALL of phase 5 now to unlock your ship.
lowkey mightve broken the expedition lol
When will I learn not to play the expedition for the first few weeks, stay tuned
I usually wait a few days for 1-2 patches and it's usually giood.
It's on land so it makes sense the sme nearby waypoints come up.
Well it doesn't makes sense, but I can see how it would happen
Bruh my Colossus keeps clipping into the ground and launching all my cargo far away
RIGHT
I have never been more frustrated playing this game 😅
Lots of potential though, I'm excited to see the fixes
Same, and the second expedition I’ve ever done
First one I did was Breach expedition
I am missing two minerals and I literally do not know what they look like
One of them may be in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message
anyone else thinks the expedition is a little unrewarding?
Went the the nearest dark rock road, found both of em immediately
The cosmetic set is cool. Still on the fence if I think it was worth the pain, lol.
i agree but i dont think it was that painful
i just think they couldve given more stuff
sounds like torture for nothing substantial or even usable, just cosmetic
For me, hauling waste was like an escort quest, but all the NPC's were suicidal toddlers on crack.
It sucks
for what
To get to rendezvous 3
id say its dissapointing but it was still enjoyable in my opinion
wait is that the 6 checkpoints thing?
I hate it
No i just finished that i hated it
wait so what is the mission u gotta do
Literally worst update of all time
maybe because
This is so irritating
it doesnt detect some closer ones
when doing the checkpoint thing
i went to a random place searching for buildings
Yes its only detecting the one an hour
when u scan a building sometimes it says an hour then i drove 2 mins more and the other time the same building with another scan (diff place) was 3 minutes
Update sucks
The upgrade is to do a thing I don't want to do, so no, I guess not.
My colossus has gone awol
When I'm at the spot where my scope says it is, it's nowhere to be seen
Full load of cargo on it
Well, that cargo is lost when you summon it, unfortunately.
That was my fear
Does this expedition cause landed pilots to immediately fly away when approached or am I just immensely unlucky?
I was just able to trade with one
I'm trying to but they always fly away as I get near.
Ok I did everything and somehow missed 2 toxic waste and cant find more, any tips?
Keep on truckin.
I've spent live 45 min looking for random ones in the wild and only found a couple explosive and irradiated

Need help with phase 3 milestone 5
Probably better to post the name or what it requires
Road signs: chart waypoints
please be more specific with your question
Just keep trying, or wait until phase 5 is completely finished and you collect the rewards, after that you'll have your ship.
Copy. Thank you!
its not too bad of a milestone.
I just can’t find any buildings
It's bugged for a lot of people
Oh, well just scan for them
I’ve tried lol
i admit my discovery tab showed like 12 when it finally finished, but i assumed it was just that..
When you get the message you've entered a new zone on the way to other buildings, use your visor to look for the building icon.
I've already discovered 5/6 creatures before I got the "scan 2 creatures from exocraft" Did I f'up?
Copy
Nope, finish that one and it'll finish both
just get the last one from buggy and turn in the collect on the discovery tab
copy that
Scan as in use your colossus's radar to scan for various buildings, then after you get the waypoint you can scan again and theoretically get a new one.
for a few people it finialized when they collected the nanites
I need the Rare/ Ground/ Most6ly Nocturnal creature
i did restart save points a couple of times on the xbox app version - steam seemed to work much better on that front
Is resource depot anything?
yep
i liked the depot spin the nav-point and collect random drone kills
After you're done with the expedition I guess
There’s sentinels here…
Glitchiest expedition I have played yet tbh 
How do I chart a waypoint
Interact with the white pole
I did trust but it didn’t add it.
Tip: instead of throwing 32 sentinels, just juggle one sentinel 32 times (throw and catch as fast as possible)
ok then yeah you're enjoying the waypoint bug. Turn off multiplayer in the network tab and start praying. Like I said you can leave it for last after you get your ship and finding waypoints is a lot faster.
💪
that toy makes for interesting pulls. Grab a sentinel from too far away, hold him a moment swap to gun, blast them, flip back to tractor beam repeat
you can fight them from 60-70 units away
I hate running from sentinels when I'm just trying to test something quickly, but with the grav gun I can rapid fire blast them a million miles away and they de-aggro. That's about the only fun I had in this expedition.
That dang exocraft clipping
yeah thats a shame it was a different run for sure.
Boring expedition and questionable update as a whole. I really don't see what it adds to the game, other than customization of the Colossus, which I never used already anyway.
Now if you could grav gun a sentinel and do significant damage by chain throwing them, that would be really amazing.
i tossed them into the oven - had no effect
Tried throwing one into another. They dodge each other.
Oh really, that makes me think it may be a bug that they aren't doing good damage
Maybe I could stick a bunch of them in a box and do some experiments
Im using my save to play the expedition, I started from the anomaly. How do I go back to my save game ?
Pause menu has an option to return to primary save
thank you
one more, A friend just started playing for the first time. Can I join their game or do they need to unlock the anomaly first ?
the difference in mobility is astounding
You can join their game before they make it to the Anomaly. I did that with a few friends who started playing recently.
Yeh I was following a YouTube guide and the guy said, don’t use the spider legs when u unlock them, I was like, fu, I am def going to use them, the other wheels were so trash , and I was so glad I did, everything went twice as fast after that
The only annoying thing was that it gets stuck on flowers and crystals, really weird
why would anyone not use the spider legs
Don’t ask me, he said it 😝
I tend to just shoot the mining laser in front of me while I drive
Yep same
They were bugged last patch
destroys all the crystals before I get stuck
Even so, try them before making a guide then 😝
Guys I need help. The Expedition is asking me to find 8 minerals to scan, but the planet seems to only have 7, and I cant get to another planet
look for a tiny rock in the barren parts on hillsides or mountain tops
check in caves
theres a unique mineral in the caves
There's a photo of a tiny rock in the Pins.
Its not any one of these, is it?
reload from autosave or restore point depending upon which is closer to when that happened
the game crashed about 2 seconds after I got the clip
well report it to HG using !hg and show them that clip; there is not much you can do if that happens and the game crashes right after
If thats BigRock, I already have it
nope these are really tiny they trick everyone
Does the ground have to look like the picture to find them?
yes because that's what barren ground looks like in game since it has so life on it not even plants
You can also track it under Log > Exploration Guide. It shows there are 10 minerals on the planet.
So how do you unlock the extra Colossus customization options that don't unlock automatically from the Expedition rewards?
50 of each waste type. and 250 waste total (im pretty sure)
250 might not be entirely accurate
Ah, is there some hidden counter?
you do them after you finish the expedition on any planet; here's a list
ahh, 200, i see
Thanks!
My issue is, it wants me to find 6 waypoints. It said I already found 3 on this planet in discoveries. I go to one, and my count in the expedition has remained at 1
anyone has a portal from from the remnant expedition, me and another player is stuck at the space station and have no way back, pls help
You're bugged. You basically just have to keep finding more. I suggest putting it off til you're done with phase 5 completely then you can use your ship to find waypoints.
There will be a quest in your log with the counter(s)
Huh, so the mobile Furnace doesn't count special waste thrown into it... that complicates things a bit
@solemn bane Thank you for the advise. I will continue with the other ones then
You have genuinely twice saved me from bashing my head on the keyboard
I'm sure it thanks you
Apparently we have access to our ship before completion of exp. Mines all repaired and I still have 6 or 7 milestones to go.
How did you even find yours?
Yeah, depends on which patch you're on. It's either after the last Road Trip in phase 5, or after ALL of phase 5 is done.
You just summon it once it's unlocked
Ya I just summoned it
im still stuck at the space station and have yet to unlocked that
Not sure I want my ship though, I still have a bunch of hazardous waste to find and destroy.
How do you get the waypoints to work? Mine seem glitched!
Probably are. You just have to keep finding new ones and hope they register. Easier once you've unlocked your ship after phase 5, so you can skip it for now.
Ok, do you think they will fix it? The animals one I had to register that I found them all in my codex
It's fixed on Steam, so it will roll out to consoles, you know, some day. Just save it til the end, much easier to find waypoints with a ship.
hello, is the expedition still opened?
But its super broken?🤔
... of course I get out to put lost cargo back in my collossus, it starts rolling downhill and falls into a pit T.T please give us an E-brake tech Sean
What do you think this is, some sort of driving game?
apparently
I think if you can summon your ship then it's all fixed.
I found an actual waypoint but, it still didn't work. Maybe the minor settlement will.
I finally finished it!!! Only problem is I've got one step on Phase 5 that says "Inventory Full" even though my inventory is not full. I even restarted and it's still says that while I finished and collected the other rewards. It's the first one, the Field Duty or something like that for discovering all the animals. I don't think I can actually finish the expedition until I collect that.
I had a ton of inventory space though. It said something about a collection of bones. Which I don't care about, but if I can't pay it out, i can't actually finish.

It won't let me save my stuff and officially end it.
Ya, we get like 20 or something stupid like that
Seriously?
Use you colossus to store enough stuff to claim reward
I swear I had enough, I even half way filled a trade rocket to make more space
Make sure you are by the colossus and the rewards should go in there I think
How do you fix it if you dont know where it is?
You just summon it
It unlocks after you finish Phase 5, and it fixes itself.
My ship was availabe at the end cause you have to fly up to the anomoly. Until then I swear it was broken. I even found a downed ship, but it told me repairs were "impossible"
My ship won't land. It will on a landing pad but nowhere else, even if the ground is flat.
The only landing pad by the waste center is on a peak and for sure death if I jump down.
Just hit your jet pack before you land. Also yeah weird bug RE : not being able to land. Dunno if there's a workaround.
Doesn't even say ground obstucted or anything. It's frustrating. I landed at a landing pad a mile away.
i guess the expedition is still opened
It lasts six weeks from the start.
yippe! i missed part of the redux, but i got corvete parts and normandy sr1, wich is what i wanted most jsjs
also when i searched top spaceships normandy sr1 was in the list wich is very good
Yeah the Normandy is cool.
yes, it is such a unique design and style, atlas corvette parts are also very good, i made an atlas inspired corvette but i dont have the photos of it rn lemme search em
here
Nice, well done!
everything owned by me has "Finter" in the name, like multi-finter, ulti-finter (both multitools), sentinel finter royal finter crimson finter and more lol
thanks!, what is a build youre very proud of? i was making a city but couldnt finish it, i only made the center of it, not even a single house ;_;
gtg
I just finished this Corvette, that took a lot of work.
Gosh dangit, this game reminded me why i hate No man's sky one save method. Annoying as hell
Is there toxic waste just lying around? Or (finishing last phase) to get enough toxic waste processed, do I need to go all the way out to a garbage pile?
i hope they fix the xbox crashing soon because reloading 3x while on the way to a garbage pile, and again while loading is a bit much
This planet has two very easy waste runs. Less than 3 minutes each, easy terrain, no weather, sentinels calm, easy money. Just sharing for anyone still trying to unlock upgrades.
Some piles in the wild can have the special wastes types. But just usually one.
Ok I have some serious complaints about the new expedition doing the scrap trips is stupid AF like the flat bed hardly keeps things in and even when I try to drive careful I end up losing something ;—; they should have added some magnets to the flat bed or something to keep things on it during transit not to mention they need to make the specifics of what scrap goes in what facility more clear ;—; I accidentally put a explosive scrap in the wrong thing and it basically penalized me and now I have to carry the 4 scrap I have back to the previous place which is a 5 minute trip up 2 massive hills back and fourth to redo everything

What were they thinking when they made this expedition
Like I love nms I love hello games but like come on
The difficulty in managing the flatbed physics is a big part of the expedition, I think.
I thought the gravitino expedition and the reroute sentinels was going to be hard, spoiler, it was not.
I feel you, I had the same feelings about the expedition. It can be very frustrating but it does get better. Once you unlock the spider legs it gets quite a bit easier. The main thing is you just have to go slow and be careful, because falling in a big hole really sucks.
It's a much better experience on other planets IMO
No kidding, then you gotta get the truck out and reload if everything hasn't blown up
Haha yup
beautiful, i love that style that's a very good combination and use of corvvete parts
Thanks.
The starting planet for phase one I was put on is full of mountain terrain ;—; and honestly the expedition rewards don't seem very much worth it for the struggle so I might skip it
ouch
If they improved the flat bed and made it keep parts in better then maybe I would play it
I thought the same thing, but I finished and now have all the upgrades unlocked. I'd recommend sticking with it.
I'd at least get to the spider legs then decide.
Which one gets you the spider?
Any time they have given parts for a exocraft in nms they were available in the shop after the expedition ended so I'm not really worried about not getting the legs
I don't use any of the exocraft other than the mech
But you might want them in the future.
Depending on what else they add.
You can do it in small bites, there's plenty of time.
Just said I'm not worried about it because the last time they gave the mech special parts in a expedition once and then a while after those parts became available in the shop
Without needing to complete the expedition
So I'm not worried about not getting the parts
Yeah maybe they will.
I like the full treads better myself.
I don't find the armor that cool
Xbox players who would like to opt-in for #nms-news-ticker pings, be sure to review this
pin: #nms-news-ticker message
What phase gives you the legs
Phase 4
Hell nah

The legs I only care about a little because they are cool looking
But I'm ok with never getting them
Or the expedition done
I got things on codm to do
Like getting 9 legendary medals so I'm out

You do you 🙂
On another note would you like to dm and see the ships I built?
Yeah I'd love to.
so I've seen people talking about it but I just jumped in the expedition and wowee no joke it is the most jumpy I've ever seen from this game, seems like most of the bugs (at least for me on PC) are just issues with other players or sentinels clipping around, is there anything in this that actually prevents you from completing the expedition? just wondering if I should wait and start it later
I'd very definitely do it on single player.
Turn multiplayer off.
But nothing will stop you from finishing it.
Ok :3
But there is a patch incoming that might smooth things out.
as long as it doesn't actually affect the game I don't really care, watching everyone flopping around through the air and along the ground is funny lol
For me it was mostly watching all my cargo flopping around on the ground.
now that I can't abide, the glitches affect you actually? I figured it was just visual with other people
does turning off multiplayer stop that?
Similar things to this started happening to me in the latest patch. Just shit randomly launching into the air no matter how slow I was going.
Probably not but making the game deal with fewer pixels is always good.
that's wild
but noted thank you
I think it's interesting that this update and expedition are largely based around physics objects, which up until just now was literally only the spheres and then the sentinels
I've never really thought about it before but literally the only physics in the game are player physics
and then the sphere
and sentinels it's kinda hard to say what degree of physics they had before because they always just floated around
Physics has never been this game's strong suit, so really its failing in this expedition is no surprise.
it will be interesting to see if they add more physics based stuff through the year, the gravity gun is cool but it's insaaanely limited with what you can actually pick up with it
fax, this game needed a physics update desperately so it's cool that they're putting the work in on it now
but once they iron it all out shooweee buddy it's over, they can put all kinds of stuff in this game
Ironing things out also not really this game's strong suit.
strongly disagree brotato, patches after updates have always resolved everything for me
I mean like, there are bugs in this game that have been around for a very, very long time. There's a reason our first piece of advice is always "disable multiplayer"
And yeah the patch made it so I can't do hauling at all, so
yes but we're mid patch season, there's still plenty more patches coming, and it's not like they're finite, so they will continue to patch until it's running smoothly again and they see similar good performance across platforms, switch1 will always be slower but that's a hardware issue, other than that, there's always issues right when an update comes out until it gets worked out
I mean what kind of long standing bugs are you talking about?
The kind that cause us to tell people to turn off multiplayer. It happens in every. Single. Expedition.
For some people, for some reason, milestones will be 100% impossible until they turn off multiplayer.
And that's the best part, it almost never affects everybody.
but that's not a long standing bug, that is just "there are issues when a new update comes out, that is most of the time resolved by disabling multiplayer until they're worked out"
The waypoint bug right now may be affected by multiplayer, but it's hard to tell. I didn't get the bug, but I always play offline, so it's plausible.
They don't usually work it out, you just have to disable multiplayer. I'm pretty sure it's related to not being able to complete any milestones at all if you start a quest from your corvette's terminal. The root cause is the same, they just won't fix it for some reason. Probably just too spaghettified.
I don't think that's fair, if you always play with multiplayer disabled then how do you know? I never disable multiplayer and I've never seen major issues last long, and corvettes have only existed for a few months so if there is a specific bug with starting missions from corvette terminals, I'm sure it will get resolved, like the only bug I can think of that lasted a long time was that freighter paint colors used to just straight up not work, like regardless of what color you painted the freighter it would stay the color it was when you got it, but like ohhhhh nooooo lol it was the most minor issue and affected nothing
and even then they still fixed that and it isn't an issue anymore
I know because I am in here answering questions
that's an appeal to authority good buddy
And the majority of those answers involve disabling multiplayer
It's not, I am HERE, as in I am reading what others type, as in I have seen tons of other people struggle
And not only that, I have seen the solution WORK
A lot
so? not trying to start getting feisty here, but your claim was that "Ironing things out also not really this game's strong suit." and I don't think that you telling people to disable multiplayer while patches come out is any proof of that
Oh, and there is a lot of reuse of milestones across expeditions. Some of them we just know will be buggy if ou have multiplayer on, even after being in other expeditions
are they buggy for the entire duration of the expedition or just when it first comes out before patches fix them?
They are buggy across multiple expeditions
again, for the entire duration of the expedition, or just at first?
because that's how bugs work
when you implement new pieces into the same system, you get the same flaws
I am talking about milestones that have never, ever been fixed in spite of being in multiple expeditions
like which ones?
And I don't mean similar milestones, I mean they have the same key and are linked to the same quest in the configuration
Doing derelict freighters has been a nightmare for some people in every expedition where it's been a thing. The completion won't register, and you have to figure out how to summon another one (once you've disabled multiplayer)
that's probably a load issue, too many people summoning derrys (or anything for that matter) is bound to cause issues, the only real resolution on dev side would probably be to limit the number of derrys you can summon to a system at once, that's why disabling multiplayer fixes that because instead of everyone summoning the derry it's just you summoning one
They can summon it fine, and they get through it fine, but the milestone just doesn't complete in spite of them having all the items. It's very similar to what happens when you try to complete a milestone when you are on a mission from your corvette, so I think it's more related to something like that blocking quest completion while on multiplayer quests seeping in where it shouldn't.
yeah that makes sense, the game has a hard time delineating if you completed it or someone else did or if it somehow thinks you complete the "wrong" derelict freighter or something
And for that issue, it's always been the case we were telling people to simply disable multiplayer and try again until the day the expedition ended. And then again when the next expedition with that type of milestone was a part.
but I still don't think that it's a bug that they're not fixing, it feels more like a limitation of the system, ultimately the only thing that's going to fix all of that is inevitably we're going to have to get a big multiplayer focused update that reworks all of it from the ground up
It's not a bug, it's a limitation. lol, ok.
yeah I mean if you need to drive 800 miles and all you have is a bicycle it's going to be rough
so they need a better vehicle
Does player have thing in inventory? Yes. Milestone complete. If you have limitations in your game that short circuit that logic, it's a bug.
okay but what if there are 32 players in the system
the game is p2p
who's game are you playing on
how many inventories are in that game
it's not that simple
There could be zero people in the system other than the person having the issue, it doesn't matter. IF the bug affects you, it just sticks with you no matter what until you turn multiplayer off. Even relogging doesn't work.
in single player it's simple, because it's one inventory in the system
which is why turning off multiplayer would help
Oh and also the check is client side, not server side. So the number of people in the system 100% does not matter.
there is no server outside of ODS
Most likely there is just buggy multiplayer code that affects the individual player checks
unless something has changed everything is stored locally, and if you're playing on someone else's game, since it's p2p, everything you do is saved locally to their game
unless you turn off multiplayer
and when I say "saved" I mean active memory not stored memory
You are not hitting their servers when you complete milestones. There's no validation happening.
you're not hitting the servers ever unless you build a base
All that logic is local.
or upload a plant
Right, so the fact that turning multiplayer off is a fix for anything shows there is a bug in the client-side logic
what client are we talking about
And whatever it is, it has been there since multiplayer has been a thing
Your local nms.exe
ok, and if I join your game session in multiplayer, what am I doing?
Oh and even with multiplayer off you still hit their servers for bases and uploading plants and whatever. It's not like being fully offline. Which makes it even more confounding.
Engaging with their incredibly buggy multiplayer code, lol.
That is so buggy, it bugs out when you're not even doing multiplayer stuff.
what you are doing is loading your single player save into another person's single player save
so you are then playing a game inside of a game
I mean that's definitely some words
which when it scans for something like milestone completion, it's not just scanning your game it's scanning your game inside someone else's
now add 30 more people
if there were servers then this would be a much easier issue to fix because everyone would be playing their own game connected to a server
not this tangled web of a bunch of people playing inside of each other's games
I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to explain to me here. I have a technical background so I know how this stuff works under the hood.
same
my original point stands, it's a limitation of the system
not just that "they won't fix it"
Again, you could be completely alone in the system, and you can still hit multiplayer-related bugs
that doesn't make any sense
This isn't a problem with the players around you, it is a problem with the code, period.
You're on the verge of getting it.
no becaues I mean literally there is no difference between having multiplayer on or off if you are the only one in the system
The bugs that happen in this game, especially the ones that happen every single expedition, don't make sense.
That SHOULD be true, but for some reason your technical background isn't telling you that code can have unknown and unintended interactions with other code. The fact that disabling multiplayer for some reason fixes issues like this is a really good sign that there are unintended interactions happening with the multiplayer code.
but what multiplayer code are we even talking about?
This is why it screams spaghetti code. And it may just be too hard to fix without a total rewrite.
I go to a system you go to a system, same system, proc gen, the only thing multiplayer does is allow you to see other people
Again, unknown and unintended interactions. These are also sometimes called "bugs."
If I knew the exact code causing the problem, I would just send them a patch
Anyone able to link me to a list of plants and minerals for the expedition? I’ve been looking around for 1 each to complete the world and cannot for the life of me find them
but there shouldn't even really be hardly anything that exists as "multiplayer code" it should just be a connection to their game with your inventory
The mineral is probably in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message
Tysm
You're on the verge of getting it again.
that's a nothing sandwich dude you gotta stop
it's just snarky for the sake of it, I'm just trying to understand
all multiplayer toggle should do is allow a connection if there is another player in your system
it should do nothing if there is no one there because there is no connection to make
and don't give me "that's what a bug is" because it doesn't even make sense to have a bug in a blank txt doc
What I'm saying is you are right, it SHOULDN'T interfere with things that SHOULD be completely client side and divorced from multiplayer code, but all evidence points to the fact that something to do with multiplayer being on affects purely client side logic. Hence unknown and unintended interactions when multiplayer is on. I can't tell you what it is because I didn't write the code, I can only tell you these are telltale signs that something unintentional is happening with two parts of the code that shouldn't be.
what I'm saying is that there shouldn't even be code
Finally finished this hellish expedition
What's even more confounding is it typically doesn't affect everyone
Death stranding without the death just stranded
I always called Death Stranding "Don't Fall Down"
Wanna dm me a screenshot of the plants and minerals pages? I’m missing one each
5 hours ill never get back
Bro one of the minerals is literally a rock bro
A tiny ass rock
On the floor
Where the ground is kinda smooth
Well, until we can use magic to make computers go it's gonna be code. It's all code.
A stinking rock
🤪 yall think I ain’t been out here scanning every small rock for 3 days? lol
I spam scanned everything
Good code, bad code, spaghetti code.
right but the code to "do nothing" should be no code
Till i got a match
it should be an if/then statement where if there is no "if" there should be no "then"
I know it’s gonna be aight. Just thought I’d try and get some help! lol
*than
Sure, but again, overwhelming evidence points to the fact that it is in fact doing something, which is causing a bug.
what are you dooooing nms
I'm confounded
if I opened a blank notepad and it started running scripts I would be concerned
that doesn't sound like a bug it sounds like interference lol
something is taking over
This is the problem with code complexity. In spite of humans coding this whole thing, no human could possibly hold all the logic gates in their mind at any given time. And we are prone to error, so when we write code we sometimes might affect something that seems completely unrelated. This is why as a coder I have to stay open-minded about the possiblity of something "impossible" happening, even if I wrote it and I am 100% sure I only write perfect code.
but if you didn't write code, if you wrote nothing, and that nothing started doing things
what do you do?
You suck it up and admit you are wrong and you fix your broke-ass code.
I mean it seems at least we're in agreement that the only solution would be a complete rework of multiplayer
Computers only do what we tell them to do. If they screw up, it's our fault (generally).
I mean if a yes/no toggle is causing issues you have a much more root issue
Yes, nms multiplayer is a known issue.
There you go. That's code complexity and ununtended interactions in a nutshell.
but we're talking far beyond a patch here imo, this would need to be a whole ass update
Yes. A very large part of nms is very broken. And always has been.
Can anyone help me and build a teleport on expedition plante at my location ---> to expedition start place or first point ?
I just drove whole weekend to crashed ship because i think this is only way to have one... (of course i dont read expedition read me...).
And now im around more than 3h driving from starting place and this made me mad...
my position is - (+6.90 -127.04)
Which closes this loop on me saying ironing out is not nms's strong suit.
You know they're on a new game now, right? lol
lol the same "new" game they been on for like 6 years
they had been working on LNF far before they announced it, we knew that
And the same broken multiplayer they've had since they've had multiplayer 🤷♂️
And this is pretty common for nms. Add feature, kinda buggy, oh well push it to the side while we make other feature.
I think most of that comes from that it was never intended to be a multiplayer game, and was clearly added hastily many years ago as a boon to players, I'm sure they know it needs a rework, but of course anything with network is going to be a much more cumbersome feat then just new content
Yeah, nms was never intended to be a great physics engine or a driving game, but here we are.
I literally checked the date to see if it was April 1st when I saw the trailor for this expedition
gee whiz I think i've got then and than backwards every time I've said it
trucker update was definitely unexpected lol but it's more entertaining than I thought it would be
I think one of the most surprising updates for me was Corvette, since it was HG adding something people had actually been asking for, lol.
Since I'm accustomed to HG adding just random shit like garbage man simulator 2026
yeah I've seen a couple of player requested updates through the years, the freighter update was a huge ask, then the one that added all the combat stuff and updated sentinels and added new types and all that
I think if NMS updates ever stopped being mOaR thInGs I would be sad
but I gotta go buddy, I appreciate you sticking with me and my tism lol, apologies if I came off aggressive at any point
People have genuinely asked for exocraft customization...
The gravity gun and physics interaction were a LNF bonus
Who asked for the collosus to be a garbage truck. Name one person.
People who asked HG to turn it into something useful...
It is indeed something useful...
the word "useful" is doing more heavy lifting here than my collosus.
I finished the exp but never got the option to put down a base computer?
I assume you started from an existing save.
I haven't finalized it at the anomaly but after I do that it will take me back to my original planet
So yeah, you would need to get the glyphs and portal back there on your primary save to build a base.
You only get a base computer when you start a new save on the expedition, when the expedition save is converted to a normal save.
Ok, wondering how those hundreds of bases got there. I did take a pic of the gyphs just in case. Not sure I really want a base there but might be interesting
More useful than the lame slowpoke useless exocraft it was before at least
Now we can try to guess the gameplay they will bring for the other exos
It makes for a great storage box and it will stay that way for most people
Though there are surely a few of us completionists who will get all the unlocks via the insufferable recycling system.
Really useless : the Nomad
First time I've ever liked the collosus. Looks cool now too. I don't plan on any more garbage trips though.
Useful to look at, I guess.
I think there have been one or two expeditions that start you out with a Nomad. That may have been the only time I've used the Nomad.
I have completed the expedition and now in main save can't build flatbed on colossus. It's not available. Halp!
The spider legs are available.
On my main save 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.
If you do this and the flatbed does not unlock, you are bugged. Dunno how to fix.
How did you knew you have to do that?
I have NMS brain so I kinda figured I'd have to redo a lot of this shit since they weren't account-wide unlocks
Well, I knew I'd have to go to the console to make the grav gun. The rest is just following the log
Heh. Also, I bought excavator blade and cyclops scanner from perses at anomaly. I could have unlocked them on the planet i guess....
Actually I think you do have to buy those
Restart the game, that fixes it
And of course recycle at least one waste
Or right, that sometimes works.
It worked for me and for someone else already
Yep, I've seen it work for a few people. Also seen it not work. Seems to be save-specific, too, since they were able to then unlock it on another save.
Aw yeah they built processing next door to my fave settlement.
You are lucky.
I just have the wastes next to my statement.
The processing is 10 minutes farther and it is a storm planet...
On the planet I found to do my testing it's pretty flat, but this patch everything just flies out of my truck bed at random, so I was just scanning for processing plants and scrapping everything there to work on my 200
Gotta rename the planet Craptastic Reliquary
Clearly I'm not going to be able to do the special waste until they fix the physics for whatever is weird about my machine
Using grav coil on Leylaps caused sentinel alert lmao
I found that out when he kept getting in the way of my trash shooting, lol
I recommend deleting this before a moderator catches it 😉 NMS media only
Futuristic lol. I think they will backport sea ships from LNF instead, and we'll be scavenging crap from ocean floor. Still no ratchet straps ofc.
that is a pretty accurate representation of my colossus. seems on point to me
Fixed.
its the same 😛
Hey, so I have a slight issue...
I managed to softlock myself onto the space station, anyone know how I can get out?
If no one has ideas here, also try #nms-questions
or if someone has a corvette and is able to drop me off near the main expedition ping me please
I'm not even sure that's a possibility since this expedition has this setting: "NeverAllowShipPurchases": true,
oh damn, also, is it just me or do all bases in the expedition look half destroyed?
Yeah I saw that when I was testing stuff on another save. Adds yet another bizarre element to the already bizarre expedition. Just shit everywhere now, lol. I played offline the first time so I didn't see anything like that.
Anyone experienced a problem where you don't get a marker for the next rendezvous point?
You scanned for a heap?
Not the heap, the recycle point, I think. Let me go look again
You were right, needed to scan from the colossus, and it tells me that in the tooltip, so all my fault
how can you make it on a spacestation without a ship?
People building teleporters everywhere, I assume to troll people into getting stuck
ah ok
Stupidity…
I found a teleporter, powered it and went through…
makes sens in exp21 .. as you dont own a ship
I thought I’d be able to take the teleporter back
Though someone in another Discord server was saying they were building bases and teleporters to help people, thinking you could just teleport from Checkpoint to Checkpoint, not realizing it was screwing people over, lol.
start over time
I realized yesterday how important the angular grip upgrade is for this expedition.
I also realized that I overreacted and that it isn't as bad as I initially thought.
It's still bad, the fetch and transport missions aren't fun, but it isn't as bad.
I swear, every time I lose a piece of special waste and send it sliding down a mountain and forever out of reach I just wanna throw up my hands and quit the Expedition :/
You have 6 weeks, take your time.
Take breaks
Once you finish it, you never have to do it again, and you don't miss out on limited items
I am, its just that whenever something goes wrong I cant help but think of how much effort it will take to fix and redo it really dampens what little enthusiasm I have left. They really couldnt have picked a more flat world? The holes, the huge cliffs, the fact it will take 15 minutes to go back and forth between a pile and the processing plant...
Do you take more then 5 special waste at a time, i suggest taking more so if you loose some its not so much of a hassle to get more
Doesnt taking more mean you are more likely to lose some in the first place?
i love it when i forget that emeril can also be turned into chromatic metal and its not just copper
Not really i just drive carefully avoiding holes and major hills and taking more holds other ones down the most a lost at a time was 4 when a had 13 special waste
It also helps do another milestone in the final stage where you have to deliver 16 or more of each special waste
Well I'll try then I guess
Also anybody know why I keep getting attacked by pirates despite technically having no ship?
its a bug i guess..
can we just mount a terrain manipulator on the colossus and mine a flat path as we go?
We have that already. It's your character. 🤣
Maybe the next update should be a Caves update, there isnt much to do underground atm, and I could see turning a Colossus into a boring machine by attaching a huge drill to it
I abhor hauling soooo much!
Everything else is fine, but it's like they wanted this hauling to be as bad as possible! 😡
It makes me want to scream in rage....
Yeah 🙁 I feel you.
(this is my first expedition too XD which i find just kind of funny)
we need to be able to lock the stuff down in the back.
Oh wow, what a bad one to start on!
but hey welcome to the game!
i'm just looking forward to getting my ship and using its weapons to destroy my exocraft ;)
thank you! i'm more than 100 hours in already 🫣
I think there's an objective that unlocks your ship in this one (maybe?)
At least give us a hauling bed with higher edges to help waste retention
I like my motorbike exocraft and the mech. It's just this hauling that's torture!
I must not be there yet then, cause it just tells me I can't summon it
yeah!
Phase 5, IIRC
ARGGH I one short!
Same, on Phase 4 rn
I just got there on the second haul and I"m one short 😭
ah you are on the third hauling trip.
I feel your pain
So i went to the space station of the expedition through a teleporter i found at a depot. Now im stuck in the space station! Anyone else have this issue and get out?
There are no bases to teleport to in the teleporter menu, all my saves are after the teleport. Out of ideas
get a ride from someone who isn't on the expedition I guess.
Is anyone finished with it and have a corvette they could try picking me up with?
There should be a teleport gate on the space station
It let's me open the teleporter menu but there are no bases or anything to teleport to
Huh, odd
Yeah it sucks I was about halfway through playing with my wife and now im soft locked out of completing it. I can return to my main save but every time I return to expedition I come right back here and im stuck again
are you on xbox?
Pc, ooof i forgot are the versions still not cross-platform rn
I wonder if party locations are working or locked out?
if someone was added to your party normally, you'd get all their destinations added to yours
Reload your last manual save
There should be both the automatic save, and the manual save
It's probably the automatic save that's loaded when you rejoin the expedition save
... my collossus RAN AWAY
You should have treated it better!
I was loading it at a waste heap, and it just straight up full speed ran away uphill
Which option is that?
yeah it didn't like when you beat it with a stick 😛
I had to chase it for like 200u
Uhh, it would have been the restore point option
Lol
is there any way to get access to a vehicle store while doing this expedition?
If I had 3 + speed modules this might be a bit less painful
Unfortunately ive tried that one
the vehicle store only sells boost modules
How far along in the expedition are you?
🙁
you get more engine modules as milestone rewards though
where is the vehicle store?
I joined my wife's party too and I did not get her teleports. Im on stage 4 of 6 I think
ts is just the NMS truck simulator update
yeah but I've only got A's and they are giving only +15% speed or so
I'm tempted to quit... the only thing keeping me going is the sunk cost falacy
Try to die
That's my best advice now
Im not sure how to do this in the space station
hes in a space station
I know
hope they update
jump off the railing top onto the floor while jetting up high as possible
It's my best advice, but not a good one
Anyone have any advice on rhe
Alien monolith? The closest one is 30 minutes away 😭
Wait
put on some tunes and start truckin
Jack
I feel your pain.
Had to go ~1hour away just to do all the waypoints.
Try selling stuff you don't need and buy corvette parts
Just the bare minimum needed to make it fly
And ride it out of the station
that's still about 5 mill.
... you can buy parts but I'm not sure it will let you assemble a corvette
You should have gotten a lot of items from the expedition if you are on stage 4
this is however a hilarious solution if it works
I'm listening to reddit storries of am I the ahole. 😆
the problem is that a lot of his inventory is probably on his exocraft
Can't fly high enough for fall dmg
and you cant access that at the station AFAIK
Doesn't matter where most of his inventory is
at least I couldnt
If it comes down to it, he should be willing to sell everything in his inventory to get out
He can regain a lot of it back on the planet
Or from his wife
Yeah exocraft is out of range with all my gold and anything valuable in case I died
no I'm saying you cant access your exocraft inventory on the station
Could you screenshot your inventory?
That one backfired
it has no shop tab
You must have something
honestly getting stuck on a space station in an expedition where you're not supposed to leave the planet is a hilarious unintended glitch
I hate it
someone hack in a bunch of fuel injectors and fly to the space station to supply this man
What is the most valuable item you have
You also have something in your pocket-furnace
this is the one instance its ok
I’m assuming if you made it to a trade outpost you can’t trade/buy a ship?
Yeah I dont have the option, I tried to scrap my broken ship too but you cant
your ship auto-repairs and unlocks at the end of the expo
Also, life hack, ask the npcs if you can train your vocabulary
They sometimes gift you for it
Sure, you might be scraping for money
But that's sometimes necessary
Only had 293 magentized ferrite in the backpack refinery sadly
Also, you kinda managed to put yourself in the worst situation possible
Curiosity killed the cat lol
So any potential solution has to be mentioned
check your steam cloud saves and see if any of your earlier ones are still on the expedition
you'll lose a lot of progress
but you wont be on the space station
Thats a good idea, ill check
Sadly off to work, ill try the cloud saves after work and msg the chat if it fixed my issue
Love this game sometimes lol
this game is broken in wonderful ways yeah
This year is special
I cant wait to see what sean gives us next
It's the 10th anniversary of the game
I am personally hoping for a "every expedition ever redux" myself
(despite our repeated insistence he stop giving us free stuff we forgive you already)
I missed the first couple of ones
yeah that would be nice
Greed incarnate
This is my first expedition so far and I appreciate everyone tht has helped just by reading stuff in chats has helped im on stage 4 I believe on the expedition its pretty fun besides taking for forever to get places
good luck dont fall in a cave
also beware of random bumps that just explode your whole haul out of your flatbed
@dry patrol lmao gotta do wht ya gotta do I hate when you go up hills and they fall out then your chasing down the hills for the stuff
this is your first expedition? Oh god I'm so sorry
they're not usually like this
@dry patrol ya I just got the game like a month ago ish I seen it a yr ago then bought it on sale for 25 bucks
I love the game its my favorite tbh
You joined at a good time
Lol my first one too
We have been in a golden age since 2021
Continuous updates.
Good expeditions
Lots of bugs and bugfixes
I just went back and found one that fell out, then I put it back in the truck and it fell out again.
Only it was on a super steep hill, so it rolled all the way down and got destroyed! ;..;
honestly I wish that deeper galaxies brought the world gen closer to 1.0
@fallen junco I will say I havent played battlefield or call of duty since I bought this
I miss my 1.0 worlds
especially without corvettes, corvettes made everything faster
water took a long time too, but this is far more painful!
That's probably for the best
since they never have to land
Corvettes made me realize how bad I am at design
no need for aqua jets, no need for a bunch of fuel
I liked designing mine.
after I finished it, I don't change it though
My ship looks so bad
I am basically flying a giant phallus
I need to train my ship building skills
Can anyone help me please and build a teleport on expedition plant at my location ---> to expedition start place or first point ?
I just drove whole weekend to crashed ship because i think this is only way to have one... (of course i dont read expedition read me...).
And now im around more than 3h driving from starting place and this made me mad...
my position is - (+6.90 -127.04)
the only requirement is scanning and reaching the plant. when you make the gravatino coil, it gives you the industrial waste quest
well reaching the plant and throwing the waste
nah it's actually the game's fault for not having a way to make things connect smoothly, there's too many hard edges resulting from the modules not having a smooth transition
there's actually a way to teleport back to the waste processing plant now! simply open the quick menu and teleport back
Are you serious?
wait..really? o.o
yes with the latest patch
That could solve Jack's problem as well!
oh wow... 🤯
Yo, we have a new potential solution
😮 I will test this in 10 min
Can you teleport back from a space station?
That teleport would've been nice when I was doing it first few days
I mean it was largely my own fault due to a newbie mistake
But still
My teleporter was all grayed out, I didnt see an option to tp to anywhere
From space station
The best option might be to hatch a ride from a player
but I went to the anomaly, went to the local space station, explored different planets and only ran low on fuel once (which I refueled quickly with tritium) so I never needed to teleport from space station
I think youre right, ill make a post tonight and see if I can hitch a ride. I really dont want to lose progress if I dont have to
I don't see anything in quick menu
can you send a screenshot of the quick menu? I already finished so I can't test it
dangit, my hubris. they despawned EVERYTHING after reloading!
That is just cruel Hello Games, CRUEL I tell you!
despawned what?
trash
try the gear icon
Nope, nothing there, I try every options
Same here, I just reset my game just incase too as im on xbox and it does quick resume, maybe the patch is later on?(uk based)
oh wait that's in the experimental branch
maybe it's not in the game yet
yea I don't think that teleport option is in the game yet
I have update on PS5 also but seems also nothing there / I'm trying to "teleport to player" but it's allso not working
It’s experimental. Not in the game yet
yea I forgot
That’s a shame would be great help
give it a day or 2 to be added to public update
i love playing expeditions on experimental patches because there arent so many players around impacting performance
I ended up having to drive almost an hour through empty wilderness to get back to spawn on my run, maybe I should've waited a week to do the expedition
I drove like 3h to broken ship, just to see that it's cannot be used
Lmao similar reason I ended up so far away
the timing of unlocking the ship is pretty weird, sometimes you don't have to finish all the phases
I started playing just a few days ago so it didn't occur to me that the ship would be locked until after I reached the trade outpost and wasnt allowed to buy one
Yes it's messed up, I finish this expo on another save, and ship show up earlier not at the end
why is the experimental branch last updated jan 1 1970
Finaly finishwd but man xbox freezes like never in no game
you can play it again on a different save?
Had a godd idea though where that save points didn t show up
Yeah you can access it from space anomaly or main menu, it doesn't seem to lock you out of opening it back up after you've finished it the first time
And I think I will "rescue" my main save but when I end expedition in anomaly I'm back on some other station in space
I just flew planet to planet and charted the poles
And even try to go back to this planet, but after 10-15 jumps I give up
If some1 sruglles with it w8 with roadsigns till the end take rhe ship mark the poi s in the truck than fly there save a ton of time
Great
but it'll be fixed soon
Im so angry right now. This expedition is foddian iswtg
Gotta fix a lot of physics issues and permanence issues
This expedition was quite the intro to NMS for me :U
not a great expedition for beginners
I might consider this an april fools expedition even
Not a great first impression but it did mean that I didn't really need to be super familiar with the game to get everything done
Is there a way to rotate things or are we stuck with having to fiddle around?
No way to rotate things but tbh even if there was it doesn't really matter
There's no way to pack them tight enough that their rotation will mean anything after you've started driving
Besides picking up enough that you can just jam them together in the truck bed
But I dunno if I trust the physics engine with the hazardous materials to want to try
This update is peak NMS ngl, all fluff and filler, no technicality
don't pile things on top, lay them as flat as possible with only one layer
as if they're mocking the try harders
voyagers is easily the best update
My recommendation for tryharding is to plot your route instead of trying to make the truck bed behave
the game gets better trust me
Oh no yeah it hit me right in the Spore nostalgia from the beginning
don't get put off by one bad expedition
I actually enjoyed the expedition despite the problems
I'm also new to the game and started on this update. only 50 hours
It was very relaxing to just drive through the wilderness in a big truck for a few hours
death stranding
except without all the good stuff
Putting it in first person mode for when I was driving out to the checkpoints with no cargo in back was great atmosphere
the controls in first person for the colossus are awful
Hence why I only did it when I had nothing in the truck bed :p
Anyone else on Xbox keep crashing? Was fine yesterday but today it’s been very frequent
I thought WASD would be better than the halo warthog controls, I was wrong
xbox has issues that aren't fixed
I've been playing for a while now, it's getting clearer to whom they're catering this game to.
and let me tell you, it's not the hardcore space sim fans
I don't think at any point have they tried to give the impression that it's for hardcore space sim fans
it's not really a simulator
I think the combat would be a lot more robust if it was
hardcore space sim fans play star citizen
Real talk I've opened up a doc just to try and put down my thoughts on what I would like to suggest for the game even though I know one newbie is never gonna tilt the needle
Because there are already so many things in the game that feel like they could be way more robust and deep with just a single update of work
I just wish it is, because this game has so many content, while other space sim games does not
we need a space sim game that has a lot of content and variety like this, so we wouldn't be stuck piloting in space, just trading and combat
I want space combat too
well maybe you could make the next big game
if it doesn't exist, make it yourself
or give them some suggestions
Why is it that anytime there's a comment like mine, people always avert it to the same conclusion: make the game yourself or play another game?
has there been a general consensus of agreement ever been discussed or something?
Because you're trying to buy clothes at the soup store
NMS is an exploration game at its core
To be honest, it's like looking for an overcoat in a massive general clothing store
it's like asking subnautica to add combat (outside of stasis rifle)
can somebody tell me what are the requirements to get FURNACE chasis module?
I get being annoyed that what you want doesn't really exist (or at least isn't findable) but being mad that NMS specifically isn't catering to what you want when they never said they were is unproductive
I finally got S class engine upgrades.
Hello games might be the last dev to ever care about the space game genre, the others just abandon it.
wierd how they don't show link highlighting
200 waste Processed to get the furnace Chassis
around 3000 ish total nanites collected OUTSIDE the expedition
you can't even see how many you processed tho
soooo.... which one then? I got already 213c srap processed and didnt get the module
yh so how do we know when we hit it?
you need to get it OUTSIDE the expedition
in the main game
I am in the regular game, I have already unlocked all tracks
but I cannot get the Furnace module
well how many nanites have you collected
I think it's 3000 ish nanites collected + you might have to use the auto collect at least once
I will try that
it is true I dont have 3000 nanites in stats
It should be wtitten in the game what are those requirements
Okay, question, how is object permanence here? Is it global or will these despawn if i go far away?
ah screw it, ill recycle them now
A little late, but I did try this two days ago. Anything you leave if you venture off will despawn unfortunately, so recycling them is a better option
can people actually get inside corvettes during the expedition?
all of those crap items will despawn. in 1-8 hours (as i found out by my own research)
you were correct sir, it really is 3000 nanites
was auto collect necessary?
no
Oh my gosh it's my ship!
does the 6k nanites have to be earned after this patch released or is it retroactive?
Alright yall how do I get out of the space station if I used a teleporter someone put down to get there 😭
I tried building a corvette and even sold everything I owned to get enough money to buy a ship but it wouldn't let me and I can not teleport out of the station
someone earlier had the same problem.
Not sure if they ever solved it
on steam experimental branch atm, there's this patch:
While on the Remnant expedition, players who have by any means ended up at a significant distance from the Waste Processing Unit can now use the Quick Menu to recover themselves.
i'm not sure if this will work when stuck in the space station

Awesome. Ill just submit bug report and wait for a patch 👍
can you get inside a corvette while inside the planet?
I can just pick you up in my corvette if you can get in and if the expedition planet's not too far away
That'd be great I am pretty sure I can do that but I'm currently out rn until the evening but thanks for the offer
So if I can’t complete the waypoints, I have to wait until I complete the entire expedition?
yes or wait for the upcoming patch. supposedly this is fixed in the experimental branch on steam which means it's gonna be in a patch
Hello all.
I don't know if the question has already been asked, but I wanted to know if some of you are stuck with the step where you need to place the Exonef. For my part, it is impossible to place it anywhere on the planet.
Any ideas to unblock the situation?
did you get 6.22 patch already? if yes, and you're not being able to do it still, there's another patch for this milestone on steam experimental branch, as of today (it hasnt released to steam public/other platforms yet)
I’m on console. How do I see the latest version?
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
of the consoles, only ps4/ps5 have 6.22
