Okay thank. I just tried, but unable to build, the same error message remains present. If I restart my game, the basics will no longer be present?
I've gone too far, I don't know where he is anymore.
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
Okay my bad. I think I'm going to have to walk for a long time then.
guys how to complete this mission? i've already found 8 waypoints but it seems doesn't work
just exit game, disable your computers internet, start up and do it, then save and exit and reenable internet.
then keep playing as normal
I also found it didn't work every time.
I found that ruins and depots triggered it every time
welp, lemme try to find ruins or depots if it trigger the mission or no
good luck!
i mean, it should work with any waypoint that's not been discovered yet
a waypoint is the same object, same interaction table regardless of what poi it's next to

Expedition 21: Roadsigns milestone not registering
If interacting with a undiscovered waypoint isn't working, the steps below worked for some players:
- Be sure to have mp disabled
- Save+return to main menu, load save, make sure to have the right milestone selected, interact again. If needed try to upload waypoint discovery.
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.
Note: This issue should be fixed with the 6.22 patch.

yeah but it doesn't work
as of today, there's also this on steam experimental branch:
Implemented a recovery fix for players who could not discover waypoints on expedition worlds.
half the time I showed up to a place, it didn't trigger the quest.
i always made sure to select the milestone again before i interacted with a waypoint, then gave it a few seconds to register, and it seemed to work everytime, i had like all of them by the time i got to checkpoint v
wierd. I had all kinds of stuff going on while going around.
didn't work at most of them.
I went to one of each type while experimenting
I need people to play with
yeah, some kind of weird bug that fell through the cracks still
How did the hauling mechanic get through the cracks tooo???? ๐ฎ
@hollow shale @remote thunder
I finally made it. Thank you for your help. ๐
I already scanned 6/8 minerals. Where are the rest???
try looking for spots like these, look like dried up river beds, or solidified magma flows
all over.
some are medium rocks, so if you are using the scanner inside the truck, it's a bit hard to see them
๐ช Iโll try that, thanks!
Update. Once i found some depots and save it at waypoint, its trigger the mission
Then i tried to reload and back to save it again, its triggering
Anyone have any tips for the charting waypoints?
thanks for the help guys
when I did it, the only ones that registered everey time were depots and ruins.
there's supposed to be a bug fix in the worlds atm though, so you might wanna just wait for a patch.
also see <#nms-commands message>
Every trash pile destination in the phases has a waypoint save post. And most other buildings on the planet.
These
blast from the past
They're not all named creepily
guys, can we leave the planet on this event?
So, I finished all the go-to-trashpile bring-back-trash missions thru the phases, but I still have in the last phase a few of each type of trash to destroy left. Wandering the planet looking for random items of each type. Do I need to, instead, go BACK to the trash piles to get more of those items? (I guess I should've loaded up more on the initial runs.)
?
Or is stuff lying around in sufficient quantities on the planet surface
only after the expedition is completed - you've gotta get back to the space anomaly somehow
it fixes your ship for you once you're done with all the objectives
now how to clear this while the planet only have 5 type of rocks?
Yoo fellow voyager iโm stuck at the second milestone of the first phase ๐ญ
The planet has more than 8. You just can't find 8 in the exact same spot. Some are only in caves, and some are only on the dark strips across the surface
My car just launched by itself because of janky physics
I'm stuck on the space station. Teleporter isn't showing any other bases this time. I only have to scan the flying fauna and find one more location to save at. Am I cooked?
theres one that appears on top of the pillar looking mountain things
no, people go to hell as penance for sin. there is no sin that warrants this as punishment.
sisyphus was condemned to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity but not to haul 20 boulders up a mountain with questionable collision and random pits
hades never said "peep my rock collection while you're at it btw some of them are hidden
"and also one of them is a tree lol"
I don't know why but I see flickering green pixels on this specific image, and they scroll with the image. It's probably something up with the image itself, but scared the hell outta me because I thought my gpu was cooked
anyway, rocks I have found: standard size rock, big rock, small rock named big rock, rock that is tree, pointy rock, stalagtite in cave, stalagmite in cave, small rock on those grey roadish paths, rock on top of the pillar looking mounds
There is .. if it show Industrial Waste .. there may sometimes also explosive trash .. If it shows Specialist Industrial Waste .. there you find Toxic or Radioactive Trash
I would also within the exp. do the following :
Off-Road Wheels (Rusty): Process 75 units of Waste Metal.
Tracked Treads (The Loadmaster): Process 50 units of Explosive Waste.
Caterpillar Tracks (Hazmat Specialist): Process 50 units of Toxic Waste.
Superelastic Wheels (Fuel Handler): Process 50 units of Radioactive Waste.
Could somebody with a corvette rescue me from the space station?
i LOVE carrying unsecured volatile cargo over extremly unstable terrain! It is definetly not a recipie for disaster!!\
If you have found the expedition too easy, I can share the location of a scrap planet with the Liquid Hell climate ๐
Please do.
It takes a lot more time, but you can use your terrain manipulator with the flatten setting to do some MASS terraforming and sculpt parts of highways between points
there are no corvettes in expedition 21
Just be careful. I am old and so maybe I have longer life experience with physics, but I've loaded only 5 items in the bed each run and only once had a big blowout of cargo (falling out - never blowing up). Go cautiously and use the angle of the hills you are de/ascending to your advantage to slide the cargo around. It sounded like it would be far, far harder, but it was pretty easy with caution, doing the hauls, as far as my experience.
That's fine. I managed to get out of the space station. Slowly boosting all the way back to the planet.
You just (aged) Princess Leia'ed your way from station to planet without a ship?
FINALLY im done with this expedition. I'll be honest, i'd rather fight eldritch squids from breach than doing this over again
How'd you get out? Currently stuck in the station
Or any way to die in the game and respawn on planet?
I jetpacked through the roof.
How far and where from
Towards the back where the platform is. Fly to the highest point, jetpack from there and hope for the best.
Might only work with higher upgrades
Hell yeah
Apologies for asking kinda too busy when this event gonna end?
Big robot eye
Learned my first evwr expedition fail on hard .... left the planet - anomaly and forgot to put things from suit and truck into ship ... lesson learned 
can i get u to add me on steam and inv me to your game in expedition mode?
!exp
I'm not sure exactly where you phase through the station but you'll pop out between the station and the walkable part if you do it right. Then you just jetpack towards the front and you'll be able to call your emergency ship.
can i try adding you on steam and have u invite me? see if that works
You're on PC?
yeah
I'll dm you
type !exptime in #nms-commands
ah imma note this down tot tis !exp thank you very much
so, we REALLY have to walk for hours to find a spot to build the f* geobay or what am i missing?
Turning off MP helped me with this, still had to find a spot that worked but not an hour
Turn off mp or report the base.
This
if you're stuck on the space station. people with corvettes can bring u back
when does the expedition end?
in 5 weeks

also shoutout to player Sothen. saved me from the space station
vast majority of the nms community is great ๐
this way point expedition is gonna be the end of me. i cant get them to register!
Oh, that's handy.
Same. I got 2/6 but idk how I even got that 2 .. Just as I got to this part it was already 2/6 ..
Tried using them beacons at everything .. Waste heaps .. Processing plant .. Random buildings ...
i made it to 4
im two away, its infuriating
What did count for you?
processing plants 2 , waste heap 1, rando 1 i think do remember for sure
Thanks
no problem i was also single player mode, if you figure it lemme know
Sure!
I even tried using them beacons without having the objective active to see (well, I got the first 2 without having it active so ..) .. Still no luck
I started the expedition yesterday. The game freezes regulary causing me to have to exit to console dashbaord and restart the game losing random amounts of progress each time. This is immensely frustrating considering the tedium of driving a vehicle that goes excruciatingly slow.
is there anyway to get off the space station?
yes, imagine this with a corvette instead!
teleport
or wait for a corvette
nothing shows up in the menu
alr
Just got to 3/6 woth the beacon at randezvous 3 location finally
really? try switching to single player if you are in multi
Idk it just counted .. Maybe only the objective related beacons count? Just guessing

):

Shared by: @remote thunder
sweet!
also, remember to 
For Roadsigns you can also just put it off until you have your ship, which makes it way easier to find more waypoints
also this!
ty monkey! AND BK!
Thanks!
any idea what the bright spots on the planet are that look like the sun spat onto a patch of the ground?
I find it crazy that you guys can find the expedition planet
the galaxy map is so big
Easy way is to get the portal address.
Also curse every person who built a base on the deposits.
is there water on the expedition world? I can't find the last minerals lol
5/8 minerals
Just a rendering bug. I thought I saw it was fixed in the latest patch, but maybe not depending on your hardware/graphical settings.
I don't have a portal
One of them is probably in my pinned message: #nms-expedition message
Another may be one of the underground minerals.
I found 3 underground afaik
When do you get ur ship back? Because the only 2 missions I have left out of all is to deliver toxic waste and the road sign one
is it better to launch the expedition on a new save? or current?
Some trees are actually minerals too.
Personal preference, I always do new save
How do you enable the headlights on the colossus exocraft? At night it's annoying having to get out all the time just to use the light on the suit to see. My craft to stuck ion a cave trying to dig it out.
thx
ah trees minerals? lol
Depends on which patch you're on. Either after the last milestone, or after phase 5 is completed in total
You can send stuff back to your primary save if you start it from one, you also get your units, nanites and quicksilver sent back to that save, in addition to bonus units and nanites.
if you found 3 underground then I guess my last is a third underground not there in my first caves
Yo guys im trapped in a space station and cant get out. My only way is through reloading my save but id lose 2 hour progression in this expedition. Is there another way?
I beleive there were 2 types of stagligmites? the hang-y down-y ones
Yeah I got 2 but someone said 3
2 hang-y down-y, 1 stick-y uppy
at least, i think that's what i scanned
my last one was the tiny rock
The 6 spots we have to get better to scan for a building.
And can we not Have a ship...๐ค
Not until you finish Phase 5
imma say it, this was the worst expedition yet
I'd be so bold as to say there will never be another expedition this bad or worse.
@junior shard look in the river beds which is the Grey flatter areas
would be slightly better if they hadn't picked literally the worst planet for it
I will say, it's not the worst possible planet. On my main save the first planet I found with Salvagable Scrap was one of those planets with mile-high mountains that are like huge spikes. It would have been literally impossible to complete the expedtion there ๐
even if they had picked a planet with flatter terrain the colossus just sucks to use, really slow and clunky
I hope the 16 of each special wont suck
It's the worst part, lol.
and then there's the gravity gun, was my favorite part of HL2 but here it's way too situational
There used to be bad one until this one came out.
lol exactly. For a few days after I was unable to even remembr which one I thought was worst, since I'd rather play any of them ten times before playing this one again.
For the 64 peices to throw I just spammed a tire against the side of one of the buildings lol
If I were to make a tier list, they would all be either S, A or B, and I would leave C and D empty to show how much worse this one is to be in the F tier.
for me the second worst expedition would be aquarius - way too much RNG
Yeah I eventually remembered it was that one. The RNG and because I HATE fishing. I'd still rather play that 10 times, lol.
if i had to pick a favorite expedition it would probably be emergence
I just have to finish the 16 of each , find the 6 locations , and just 3,4 etc with thr the 5 each
Corvette for me, hands down. I think I ended up playing it like 12 times. I was absolutely addicted.
This should be called the gravitino ball planet
@junior shard its not filled with water obviously but watch Jason plays on YouTube it'll help alot
I found that last mineral ..... Finally
i only played corvette once for the unlocks
but corvette is definitely my favorite update by far
That's what I did. Then built corvettes for like 3 weeks straight lol
The link i posted above will show you @junior shard
Main save my first one was a toxic planet that was just covered in ocean with periodic islands that were 40% giant mountain spike and 40% sudden cave holes
I think that's the only one I've found with salvage on my main file so far come to think of it
i make a point of playing every new expedition at least once for the unlocks
From what I hear I think that would be possible, since the collosus can drive underwater. It can't scale sheer mountains, though.
I didn't check the oceans thoroughly but it seemed to be mostly trenches
How's the truckbed loads do when driving underwater?
I just loved making junk pile after junk pile with each playthrough and all the parts I ended up getting. Man I miss that feeling ๐
I haven't tried it, only saw a screenshot of someone attempting it. I imagine it would be fine-ish. But even slower.
Man next time I go to a planet that's got corvette salvage drops I need to accumulate enough pieces to build mine
Yes I made a super ugly monster loved it
Speaking of junk piles, it would have been cool if they fused this expedition with Corvette building somehow. You use your collosus to salvage scrap and bring it to some corvette building place. Coulda been fun, but nooooo.
Keep going and you'll have the Valerian planet.
( God, that movie sucked so horribly. )
why this not working?
neverming i see now how to use it properly
im inpatient ๐
It scales those large stone pillars just fine and fast, though - apparently.
It's gotta be some pretty sheer mountains for the colossus to not be able to handle it
It's just keeping your cargo load that becomes a problem
Especially if the back wall of the truckbed is still inexplicably lower than the sides
trying to summon my collosus during expedition. Getting exocraft not owned?
You might need to place down your geobay again then?
only options I get for construction are save beacon, message terminal and the other one? do I just need to run far enough away to make my own base?
Hey do you know why getting out of starship game doesn't save? And cannot summon anomaly the buttons isnt there? Already tried reload save lost 30min progress and situation repeat. Trying o finish expedition last save is at checkpoint. Anyone have any ideas?
Have you done the first few expedition objectives
You have to do the first three or four in order
Click the expedition tab for me?
Click on the quest buttons for the three you've already finished
Yo how do u save ???
You need to collect the rewards manually
Cause u canโt use ships
That'll give you the geobay recipe
Game autosaves every couple minutes
ahhh
now I feel dumb, hah, thanks so much.
No it's fine I had the same problem just a little earlier than you
Thx bro
Yeah, now imagine starting this expedition without spider legs on a planet that was covered in nothing but spikes and valleys that are 10 times bigger than that
No problem
It isn't. Mine didn't save for 30min
Already reloaded save, restart the game still doesn't save.
Huh, that's weird
Yup, have no clue what to do. Stuck at fifth waste heap.
Have they fixed the thing where spider legs get randomly stuck on dihydrogen crystals?
Yep, should be out on Steam
Nice
Next time I break out the colossus I'll need to swap back to those, the spider legs are busted in comparison to other options with that fix
Is the new update out on Xbox yet or nah?
hello i ended expedition yesterday with all milestones done, now im on transfering items in exp. terminal, i came back to planet for last items and wanted to build a base. Anyone knows why I still do not have computer base availble?
If you really need to save in game you can always use the beacon point saves.
You don't get one if you start on an existing save. You can screenshot on the planet with the glyphs and portal back to it on your primary save if you want to build a base there.
honestly i dont care so m uch about the base but i was just curious whats goin on\
yea i play on 1 save , thx for answeringf
LMAO i wanted to start ship to anomaly and i dont have starting fuel lmao. is there easy way to get that ? i dont have any items on me lmao
Doesnt work also
ok i see dihydrogen and metal plating oooof im saved
Is the Expedition on Xbox or is Xbox being left out?
Is this on PC?
Yes
Could your hard drive be full?
Is that i thing? I need to check
I have seen it happen a couple times before with inexplicable saving problems. If that's not it, I might try another save, restarting, uh, turning multiplayer off? I dunno, that's a really weird bug.
When you think you're being clever cause a trader ship landed...
no edit permission when trying to place?
That's because of people setting up bases all over the place I think
Instructions for getting around that in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message
Oh, I should check to see if they fixed base reporting
I wxill probably regret this
Is the crashes fixed
if i play on one save and i ended expedition, i need to discover all the mods for collosus again like on the start of expedition? right?
i dont have flatbed availblle
Nope, still can't report bases to get rid of them and build. gj, hg.
Yeah. Flatbed is available after processing one waste.
If it's not, relog. If it's still not, too bad so sad.
did you win big or live to regret it?
(you probably don't know yet ^^; i misread what time you sent that XD)
What are all the minerals? I just need one left
Possibly the one in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message
Also possibly the one that looks like a tree
Got that one. It is the weirdest rock Iโve seen. ๐
This feels like a dumb question, but how do you chart the waypoints for the Roadsigns stage? ๐
Guys I can't complete a task
By using one of the chart & save thingies, but it (often?) doesn't seem to register as a new one
it took me quite a few tries to get the last couple
Interact with the white flagpoles at the various poi's. Best to save it for the end after you get your ship, because as said they seem to be a bit busted and you can find them faster in a ship.
How do i do the waypoint missipn?
Story of my life.
I think weโre stuck on the same stage ๐
See the answer above
I've won
which gave me 2/3 of these lol
hauled 23 pieces without losing one
Access the white pole save beacons next to a light pole at most POIs
Expo on xbox yet?
lol
GG dude but can you tell how can I do this ?
You're probably stuck on the part where you upload your discoveries on the Discoveries tab
If you find them all, register discovering them all
yep
under discoveries -> fauna
ok find that last one then
Yeah need to scan the birds ๐
Oh I see, hmm...
If you're on PC, see the instructions in my pinned comment for a workaround: #nms-expedition message
my last rendez-vous has 4 green barrels ๐
where do you find all the radioactive waste ๐ญ
Im trapped in space station in 3rd phase help
all over the place ๐
U can summon it back like a spaceship
caves are really treacherous
Jump out go above ground then re summon it
you can also aim and right click to get the things out of the cave
Oh
as it wont tele the cargo ๐
Mine is empty as I was going to a rendezvous
You know what. Iโm walking to rendezvous 3
i can barely find any
instead i keep finding toxic waste and explosives
Re summon your vehicle
Iโll do it when Iโm there.
Ok i guess
Hey can anyone help me with a huge problem for Expedition 21? I'm stranded on the space station after the recent update
My expedition is screwed, im trapped in space station
Thereโs nothing u can do i think
Im trapped as well
Omg, it's you standing next to me?
No unfortunately, im alone
I think there's a third stranded then , I'm sitting next to REDGhost
I mean life in space station isnt so bad soโฆ
Its not me
True, beats the food on the planets lmao
Ye and thereโs no sentinels
Is there a way, let's say I go back to my main save then go to the location of the expedition itself and save someone and someone save me?
You won't be able to see people on the expedition.
This update is a disaster....
when was an update? did i miss it?
I saw a few, but grabbing gravitinos will spawn them too
NOw I need to find water and then mess with the sentinels and done ๐
so
do I ride in one direction for water? ๐
AAAAAAH
I unlocked my ship
that makes it easier to find water ๐
What do you need water for?
the "chart waypoints" quest doesn't seem to be advancing for me. any tips?
Currently a bug where it only counts sometimes, check pins
Save it for last when you have a ship, makes it easier to find new waypoints. It seems just buggy.
I was told the last mineral was underwater
I'm on 7/8
will do, ship would make it way less painful too
There's about 3 more minerals on the planet than you need for the quest
Unless they changed the quest
No it just looks like a dried riverbed.
Last one is usually the one in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message
oops, lol
๐
also, is there a way to increase the fov while driving first person? looove the vibes of first person driving but it's too much of a pain with how limited it is
yo, im stuck in the space station. Anyone willing to help me out?
the experimental fix isn't up yet for consoles.
i dont think we can
i read that i can join a friend to spawn on them.
but none of my buddies play this gamr
Done, ez
are there any ps5 people here rn?
if its true, dm me your friend code, making new char now
my hero
oh shoot forgot to swap mp settings, need to reload after
initialising the longest part of every character rofl
I also did this, somehow
when does this expedition end?
If you start now, you can still make it ๐
So the station-stuck people, I have some bad news for you.

alr so i can take my time im still on phase 1
Seriously, a curse on all those building bases on plants and heaps and deposits. May your bread be stale and your tea cold.
The real issue with this expedition is the junk runs at the end of each stage tbh, they are the only time intensive thing in it
Disable MP before starting an expedition. No people no buildings no problems ๐
Yeah, it's too late for that now.
Oh well, that's how we learn hah. Honestly, I haven't found this expedition as bad as people have seemed to.
The only upside I can think of with MP enabled here is if you forget to pack your geo bay for that 1 time you need to use it later and you find a nearby player owned one, everything else just makes it harder
Yeah, using the bays is nice. But honestly I'm only changing appearance. And if bases weren't there, I could easily get enough to build a bay without having to constantly get no edit perms
You can do those all at the same time if you just rush the Checkpoints. Problem is you still need to do the 16/16/16
Nice
Iโve completed everything except the waypoints. How do I get my ship?
call for it
it should come right to you
Thank you!
does anyone know a portal address for the Expedition planet? im stuck on the system's space station ๐ญ
Is there a way I can do previous expeditions?

On PC yes
Only mods
Yes I'm on pc, i was hoping there would be re runs, i bought the game with 3 days to end the last expedion ๐
Link in my profile
I'll have a look...ty
Will the Expedition Generator work using it from a main save (anomaly terminal) while another expo is active? I'd assume yes, but just wanna make sure.
Yep, you're basically tricking it into thinking another expedition is happening
nothing in there has helped me so far ):
Alrighty, thanks a bunch. Then I shall finally start my Expedition Marathon tomorrow eve. Thanks for making it possible! I dipped out of NMS sometime after Origins, and only returned for Omega.
Will still do all of them again anyways to keep better track of whatever lore bits I stumble upon. The terminal is gonna make this much more worthwhile now that we can transfer over stuff, I'll have so much QS on my kinda new main save by the end of this marathon too 
The portal glyphs are usually in the pins but they are not this time
i used a random teleporter to get onto the station, and there arent any return addresses. had enough credits to buy the parts for a corvette but the mode assumingly prevents me from redeeming the corvette
Oh...Will be soon probably
Maybe bc whole exp is in 1 planet and to see glyphs u just need to open photomode
Wait for the next patch; it includes a fix for this (from the experimental patch notes)
Or if you're on pc and using steam, you can switch to the experimental branch to get the fix now
all good, i just edited my save to warp me back to the planet lmao
some other poor dude was stuck there with me too, i hope he found his way out too ๐ญ
it's on everything, even Switch 1
loading up my truck knowing full well that by the time i reach the waste station i'll only have 2 boxes left in the truck
Are spider legs the best locomotion option?
Except for the blue crystals, yes..
Blue crystals?
Smoothest ride
Dihydrogen, the legs get stuck
A recent fix helps, not on my Switch yet though
finally I got to listen to the full "supermoon" after a week of moving trash... what a relief
'supermoon'?
the song that plays after completing every phase in the expedition
it's sooo rewarding
hey i haven't played in forever, i start the game and have an option to enter the expedition.. i have no idea what I'm supposed to do.. I'm on a planet and it tells me I can't leave
U do series of tasks for cosmetic rewards. If u started from main save u can jump back to main save from options.
So what happens to all my items after Iโve completed the expedition?

Expedition Info
Game mode explained:
Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.
To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future
Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players (
) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

i am done with the expedition and hypthetically i could do that
It is finally done!
but idk i it will work since multiplayer in this game is weird
Would be amazing lol Iโm trying to make a corvette rn to see if that will work lol
ah good, i hope it works
is anyone else having a really laggy expedition?
like vehicles and players just glitching around everywhere
if your still stuck ill come get you
Yes plz Iโm just short weapons I need 1.2 mill to finish this corvette thereโs also someone else up here with me
Iโm short like 400k
Ya I canโt get back please come save me๐
send me your friend code
Friend code is ZB3D-BKYK-2C88Y
This expedition sucks dude. I have been trying to put down the colossus spawner for the past 20 minutes but there's "no edit permission" everywhere.
i just wish the expedition wasnt buggy asf
ZB3D-BKYK-2C88Y add me and ill join you
Thatโs the same code as mine lol @worldly salmon
omg lmao
They have a new expedition going for this junk update?
TZE0-GHBW-A2Z74
Ya itโs alr just super slow and kinda long
alr?
Hey anyone know how to get this dang paraffinium so I can craft my colossus
I think I added you @worldly salmon
Read the pin. pyrite and ferrite dust
Yea that didnโt help I will figure it out thx anyway
Pyrite and ferrite dust
In a refiner.
You mix those two things in the refiner in your tech inventory.
Thank you so much !
The hardest part is finding Pyrite. People keeping building on Resources.
I get what they are going for.... But stacking everyone in one area is just causing congestion.
this is a lie
it's not accounting for when we're within another player's base build area and have no building permissions, no ๐
sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do i find a place to put it? everywhere says cannot build no build permission
If you can't place your geobay, try placing it at the starting processing plant. If that doesn't work, go offline and walk far away from where you were (reporting bases no longer works)
there's no dumb questions, always feel free to ask - but remember to check the pins, sometimes useful info there (we try to do it for all expeditions)
thank you!
note that when it says "go offline" that's what it means, completely, off, disconnected from internet
Anyone else have a problem with those tiny stupid cannisters always slipping off the truck no matter how careful you drive?
i try to not stack waste and just have like all of them on the flatbed, that seems to help quite a bit. could also try using mechanical legs and rear tracked treads
I have everything flat and even, but just the small, narrow canisters seem to have an interesting relationship with the collision geometry
i usually put those in the middle of the flat bed
maybe like 4 or 5 at a time
and seem to do alright
Do Expedition rewards go to all saves? I decided to start a new save for the Expedition and completed it but when I tried to redeem the rewards in another save it does not show up
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
only the phase and final expedition rewards are unlocked account wide when unlocked in expedition
did you goto quicksilver shop, collect expedition rewards?
Anybody ever accidentally dump all your industrial waste out the back of the hauler and down a steep hill when trying to get into the vehicle?
i only have some specialty wastes left for phase 5, but scanning for waste heaps ONLY gives me the 5th checkpoint one, which doesn't have and specialty waste left. what do i do?
Oop, reply was accident
Oh looks like I already redeemed it. Thank you!
like twice </3
you can try to find specialist industrial waste markers either using visor or quick scan -
it's gonna take sooo long ๐ญ
maybe not. dont just focus on those: sometimes there'll be a specialist waste at an industrial waste marker too
I have five pieces of special explosive waste and I'm in the processing area. Where should I put them? Which waste container?
Road trip 1
can any one help with photo
also remember that grav coil magnetize function has quite a bit of distance to it too
explosive goes in the furthest right one
i actually don't see any specialist waste markers - only visible on exocraft scanner?
only finding normal industrial
no, visible on both, when in range ofc
๐ซก
Many Thanks
appreciated
That dump materials button is evil.
I was trying to get back in to start moving... Boom. ALL DOWN THE HILL.
Interesting expedition so far
I see Industrial Waste everywhere with green HUD icon. Does Special Waste have the same icon? Would Special Waste always say Special Waste on the HUD, or would it sometimes be in with Industrial Waste?
I only see Industrial Waste with visor.
hi does anyone have a picture of the wall of text you get once you finish all expedition reawrds? i accidentally skipped it while skipping the rewards list from one of the mission :(
(I finished the big trash hauls and now need a few more items in Phase 5 to complete all the wastes of diff types: toxic, etc.)
see my replies above @whole seal specialist has the same icon
Bro so I scanned all life before I got to phase three where it wants you to discover two creatures with an exocraftโฆ am I cooked? What do I do?
that can be different from player to player
goto discoveries/system/planet/fauna view and press the additional nanite bonus reward button
that should do it
oh so i missed something unique to me aw man
thats annoying lmao, atleast i got the cool outfit :D
basically, that screen is where the bonus rewards are shown, how many units, nanites you earned in general etc that kind of stats
Iโm not sure I see what you mean? Cause itโs requiring me to scan 2 new creatures
is there a way to find it elsewherre, or did i doom myself by skipping it
discoveries menu, then go into planet, then fauna, to find this list
it's really nothing much, and no, you cant see that screen again now afaik
Yeah but how does that complete the current objective?
clicking that button triggers the milestone completion, it's just how it is, a failsafe i guess
rip lol
Thank you. Iโll try it when I get home. Appreciate it
oh god it feels WEIRD getting access to the ship after all the driving
Wait - when do you get the furnace for exo in this Expedition so you can destroy waste on spot?
Phase 5 obv
Before very end I guess?
I am in Phase 5.
we dont get the furnace as a milestone or phase reward unfortunately - and oh, btw, afaik, using it to destroy specialist industrial waste on the go wont work for the title/colossus parts
Oh.
Is the furnace not part of the Expedition? Purchaseable on the Anomaly or something?
Is there anyone who can confirm that it's possible to complete phase 4 after completing phase 1 without completing phases 2 and 3 to obtain mechanical legs?
nope, see <#nms-expedition message> for phase and final rewards
iirc you have to do at least checkpoint milestones from 2 and 3, before you can do phase 4 completely (i.e. including checkpoint IV)
this is what i have atm
Very helpful - thanks!
I am seeing several (in a row) "Industrial Waste" piles randomly strewn about but theres one Special item in there. I guess that happens.
yeah, industrial waste ones can sometimes have a specialist waste too, but the specialist industrial markers specifically will have more
wait, did they get rid of the ability to copy your multi-tool and ship for this expedition?
If you thought getting 16 of each type in the expedition was tedious, have fun getting 50 of each in main for all the wheel unlocks. ๐
hmm
In main, I assume the furnace counts (once you get it) to burn certain waste types.
Dude. I'm about to cheat this expedition. It's so poorly designed. I have to go back into the customization, but I've been riding around for the last 30 mins trying to put down a exocraft machine but I have no edit permission for a base I cannot see.
Didn't get rid of it, really. It's just that it requires the Anomaly. Which in an expedition unlocks after first warp. Since this one is almost entirely on one planet, you won't get access to the terminal until the very end.
It doesn't. You have to manually process all the special waste for it to count for the unlocks.
I guess after all the unlocks (and furnace is last @ 200) the furnace is just for burning trash for nanites.
Yup. And playing explodey hoops for kicks. ๐
I'm almost done with all the titles on main. The special waste ones take the longest. 200 is easy to get, as it's 200 total of all types.
nods
I'm at the anomaly though
I can't copy my multi tool or ship into the expedition this time, only out of it
was hoping to copy my fully loaded Corvette in, but it looks like I'll have to bring the bare minimum parts over to build one instead
wanted to stick around in the expedition to grab an achievement that didn't pop on my main on Steam when I hit the milestone, plus taxi people around that get stuck
Is there a easier way to complete roadsigns besides just traveling to abandoned buildings
Then yes, it's probably blocked. Not unheard of. Some expeditions have tailored limitations.
I don't think it will let you make a Corvette at any point.
one way to find out
that would explain how empty the anomaly looked when I went there on the expedition
That would be really nice, I kinda want to become a space taxi now, my corvette is really roomy ^^
Mostly because the expedition has this setting: "NeverAllowShipPurchases":true

wait a dang minute. I can't even send materials to the expedition. oh nooooooooo
thanks bk someone need to mod this guy
You can, just can't claim them until you're done.
You can't send materials after you start I don't think
Er, after you end
I think so
You can send stuff out, but not in
You know, maybe.
Honestly don't think I've ever tried
BUT I saw no new config for that on this expedition, so I assume however it works is how it usually works
might have to break out the good old save editor then
If you're on PC you can just go offline and enable ship buying in the expedition config. Oh, looks like you're Steamdeck. The SEASON_DATA_CACHE.JSON file is in /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/275850/pfx/drive_c/Users/SteamUser/AppData/Roaming/HelloGames/NMS/{steam id}/cache I think
If you change "NeverAllowShipPurchases":true to "NeverAllowShipPurchases":false it should work.
Oh but you still want the items, right
Well, that'll at least let you make a corvette. I think.
should i drop waste indivually on each scrapper thing, or shoul i use the drop hud?
eh PC or Deck, depends
but good to know
Special waste won't count if you do it via the console.
PC's here: %APPDATA%\HelloGames\NMS\{steam id}\cache
so should i drop each one individually?
yep
if i just wanna play the normal game, will i eventually be able to do the expedition stuff or is it a seasonal and then might go away?
I already found all the animal species on the planet, but the Field Guide milestone says 0/6 and won't complete ๐ญ

Thank yooou
nice
it might sound kinda dumb but i saw a sale on steam and ofc the page has a HQ video, but that made wanna play again since i got a new pc. game pass ftw
sounds like it got you interested again - that's nice, i hope you have lots of fun. anything else just ask ๐
yea i gotta setup new trade routes
last time i started to like log my planets in obsidian, i think i may do that again
May I ask what you mean by "log my planets in obsidian"
Are they planning to add more ships for expeditions i wonder
In game or some other software?
what i did was made a log of the name of the system, how many planet, if it had certain umm things in it, what the resources for trading were...i forget all
yea i deleted it, had about 30 or so entries
but it did help alot with setting up trade routes
Just reading what I can here to understand this gorgeous game
for sure, im gonna be sinking at least a good 50 hours to get back to where i was
and i didnt even have the complete ships
was like a few years ago so there is more now
PC can play any expeditions at any time for as long as they want while offline, with a little workaround.
I screwed up lmao so at the end of the expedition you go back and go to the terminal I didnt leave my stuff in the terminal I put it on my spaceship and my exosuit and hit end expedition well I lost it all instead of leaving it in the terminal
Once I complete the Expedition, will I be able to access my Exocraft's inventory from the Space Anomaly?
At least you get cash for it
nope
Haha ya I got alot lmao ๐คฃ @solemn bane owell is wht it is I just finished it bout 30 mins ago
So what I want autosold I should put in there and what I want to keep in my suit.
Yeah, and from your suit you'll put it in the terminal
Ya i left it all in my suit and spaceship not in the terminal at the anomaly lol@warm sigil
oh man they got me good. can't even use the select other ship button, it's grayed out. I might have to delete the hauler from my expedition save and replace it with my corvette for this to work
That feeling when you pull up to waste heap, you need 3 rad waste, but theres only 2 in the heap
Oh, another thing you can change in the JSON config file is "AllowSaveContextShipTransfer":false to true so you can just copy a ship over.
oooooh nice
animals
Discovery tab tells you when/where to look
Hey guys, i got a question. I finished the expedition. But outside the expedition i can't make a flatbed, its locked. How do i unlock it?
Reset game
I can't find mineral 7 and 8
Process one waste and relog if it doesnโt unlock.
I have this issue as @shrewd sundial describes. i cannot collect rewards for Field Guide and finish the Expedition or transfer items out of it. Anyone seen a solution for this?
It's not a bug. It's a LOT of rewards.
how many slots?
Off the top of my head I think about a row and a half or two rows of skulls and bones.
good god
Yeah, and some of them are admittedly weird and cool but it's a crazy reward to give in an expedition with limited pocket space and no easy access to Storage Containers.
ok got it, can you not trasnfer back and forth between saves more than once or do you have to end it to collect your items?
oh wait I see return to primary save in the menu
just not at the terimal
When it's over you can yes, and free up space. I don't know if you get the finish dialogue before you accept all the rewards though, I think you have to accept that reward before the Terminal slots open.
Empty your pockets into your ship, or build a corvette for more space if you can afford it
ok got it
another question: Does copying the starship to the normal save just add one to my inventory?
Anyone else having trouble with finding the last mineral? I e scanned everything on the surface and crawled through every cave I can find.
You can find all of them easy on the ground, just keep an eye on the sky and scan the birds to
pebbles
Yea I got the message earlier
expedition COMPLETE!!!
Iโve scanned those, the only one I found is called bigrock
They're a VERY small rock on the grey-ish cracked patches of ground
I really do feel the landscape simulates the sea
You mean those completely blank spots with nothing but hazardous flora?
literally pebbles, not the stones
Nice! Iโm on the last stage
I was stuck on stage three, completed everything but stage three, then the waypoint mission was bugged, so, eh
Got it, things friend!
i had it easy, i found them first try. but they were soo small! congrats tho
I found the last two. One can be found in the wide trenches
Finally dooone \o/
no more trucking for me. honestly, I'd be fired if it was my job. I lost cargo constantly.
i'm a mad scientist
deleting the hauler with a save editor and leaving my corvette as the only ship i had in the expedition made it so that i could use my corvette, even though the select other ships button is disabled for this exp
Anyone have waypoints still not registering after last patch? still stuck at 2 of 6. Irritating, to say the least
I debated doing that but it seemed like a lot of work >.<
one of my friends was having that issue but since he'd beaten everything else and had a ship working, he just flew to one of the other planets, flew around looking for buildings, then used the waypoints next to those
well yes and no
the save editor i used was last edited before corvettes were added
it somehow almost handles this gracefully
I'll give that a go, thanks
right now i have a corvette with a really basic build and none of the parts i added, but all of the upgrades
kind of a miracle i didn't break my save
https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSSaveEditor/releases seems to be an updated fork so i'll try using that
if this is against server rules or something i'll delete
there's few things I won't put up with for a pretty outfit and I really like this new 'fit
I'm not super keen on the armour piece because it's A Bit Much, but the rest? 10/10
anyway my expedition corvette taxi service is now up and running if anyone's needing it in the evenings in the US
new outfit goes hard
Where are the minerals needed for petrology?
hmmph. Finished expedition, relogged, the whole 9. Flatbed shows locked
all other colossus things like the mechanical legs are unlocked however
You crafted the grav gun and recycled one waste?
oh lol. No
thanks
where do i have to do this?
how can i restart the expedition if it's bugged?
bugged how
can you come voice?
getting late for me so i'd prefer not to
Find a planet that says Salvagable Scrap, land, summon your collosus, build a radar if necessary, scan for a processing plant, interact with the console, build the grav gun, it'll tell you to do some stuff and finally to process one scrap
got it thanks
i can't scan the animal left
5/6
common/flying/diurnal
are you done with everything else?
not yet , i only have to get all the trash
like toxicity , irradiated cargo and volatile payload
and ofc field guide
huh, alright, this didn't bring my corvette design over either, i just got this ugly thing
still workable for moving people i suppose
do that first, then once it gives you your ship for getting all the trash see if you can scan animals on one of the other planets
i have it
the ship
is there water in the exp. planet?
man they are just determined to not let me have my fun
I too am stuck with that one
they make it really hard to help people sometimes
Very interesting name for a mineral
12 more and it'll get GOTY
Got all the main game titles/customizations now. I'll start the expedition tomorrow.
I wonder if I'll have a smoother time since I've already been driving this thing for hours...
i have to respect the grind for still playing despite being locked to switch 1
You need to start the hauling mission in the main game. Go to a scrap planet and scan for a plant. Interact with the computer and a mission will start and prompt you.
I'm been playing since the Switch 1 port launch in 2022. This is a 900hr save.
help I went through a portal to the space station on a whim when passing a base and I can't get back to the expedition
yeah. Is it all one server? my hero
what platform are you on
Steam/PC
ok good one sec
if we don't somehow get matched up in the same server I'll dig out my FC
awesome
Is this expedition good?
Has anyone else in VR completed this expedition?
Is anyone else stuck not being able to build a colossus exocraft platform because they don't have building rights anywhere?
I have to go offline to do it?
Must be too crowded.
Did the save editor get updated?
The consensus seems to be that it is the worst expedition, that said I've seen some people say they like it.
I was able to build mine on the first waste processing plant. Everything around it was blocked off.
i turned multiplayer off in the main menu before starting the expedition and have had zero issues
I see I saw some videos about it and it seems like itโs not worth it
if you want the cosmetics, do it, if not, dont
The new cosmetic set is pretty cool, but yeah you gotta want it.
I think I will pass
I had fun driving around.
I did not have fun trying to drive around.
I used those meteor or worm half-tunnels on the surface as roads. They're much smoother, straight lines, and only sometimes have holes into caverns to avoid.
Yeah the 15 seconds of being able to drive was cool.
Then came the other 30 minutes of my journies.
I was really surprised with the range you can pick up items with the multitool.
if the crashing was because of rocks rather than my xbox. can't wait for a patch
Did you try changing the mode the xbox was in? I remember someone saying it performed better with higher settings, counterintuitively.
Intergalactic trash recycler is not a game i would download from Steam. but here we are.
my only problem with the expedition is, well, my xbox. The expedition ive managed to play outside of the constant crashing is not awful.
There are seriously people who think this expedition is worse than the fishing one?
Not even close in my mind.
I do like how they made it so the stuff stays inside the flatbed. That's nice. If it wasn't a feature I wouldn't be playing right now out of frustration.
Finding these last explosive and toxic waste items in phase 5 is killing me. If I got back to one of the trash pile sites, will it have new/replenished waste to pick up? Finding it randomly is taking a very long time.
Will they ever release any of the old expansions for newer players to play through occasionally?
saw a graphic with the rewards for both expedition and after. Was that here?
going to the waste areas is far easier
But I've already been there -- is it refreshed with waste?
I had to hit two for the last few on my milestones
I think it would have helped if the boost wasnt so aweful on the truck.
But the fixed the crashing now do it is playable at least now which im very happy about
I think there are no boost upgrades in this expedition right?
I did not get any, although I got quite a few S tier engine upgrades
I havent seen anything yet myself. Only mv speed modules whcih i dont know cause they cause you to loose more cargo going to fast
got remember your Ts and Cs. Tap the throttle and Crap yourself everytime waste gets launched out the back
Does the space station in exp system stay in my teleportal terminal after exp?
Wasn't a new save
They replay the ones from the current year at the end of the year, they rarely bring other ones back. If you are on PC you can play any of them whenever you want offline with a workaround.
It has varying degrees of success
Was multiplayer on? I turned it off after a while and it seems to have helped with goofy physics.
Not mine, but mine did start doing that shit. I play offline.
I've had my truck get ghost acceleration, but nothing crazy like that yet.
I was barely able to do the 5 special scrap on my main save. After that I just used my collosus to scan for processing plants, fly there in my ship, processed the waste there manually and repeated for the 200. No way I can do the special waste achievements with the physics how it is now. I literally moved an inch and the entire payload just shoots out.
Mainly it just doesn't tie into the game at all. Like with Corvette you scavenge parts to make a spaceship in the spaceship game. And the spaceship does cool stuff. What do I get with scrapping waste? Why, the ability to scrap more waste. ๐
Really? Wonder what the difference is for why some people have really loose flatbeds and others seem to be pretty normal. I'm currently doing RT4 and so far it's been mostly alright. I don't bother with normal scrap, just special. Most I've ever had in the back is 16.
Bad physics in the bad physics game, mostly. Different hardware and graphical settings not being compensated for. NMS isn't very good at physics or multiplayer, so when they focus on one or the other for an expedition it's a nightmare.
Corvette was amazing, but multiplayer+physics=hilariously buggy.
RT 4 hooked and rollin.... Hopefully no goofy shi happens.
wow. nice work ๐ฎ
In all seriousness, who was the brain child behind thie expedition? On top of that, who was the team who green lit this, thinking it was a good idea?
drives 15 minutes to get to waste location... Picks up trash... searches for nearest disposal location... 18 minutes way... but now you have to drive slower and more carefully so as not to lose or dsetroy the items in the back. Now.. Lets make the people do this 4 times.
The small radiation canisters are the worst... sometimes i had them just clip out of my bed for no reason
Then I spent 20 minutes hunting down a single toxic to complete that one. That was.... enraging
I had the foresight to play with multiplayer off because I probably would have broken a controler if I tried with other people.....
Yeah, this feels like a smaller part of a larger update, almost. We'd do this for 30 mins and move on, type content. The drives are sooooo long.
It litteraly comes down to your settings.... they impact the physics in ways they shouldn't
microsoft fixed that for me by raising the price of gamepass the way cwmonkey's game raises his trash
At the very, very least they could have picked a planet that wasn't Sysaphusian levels of mountain
that's the fun in it
do we get anything other than nanites for processing trash? this ... doesn't look like something ima continue on my main save
It would be alright if it was actually fun to do... But this is like playing death stranding without the monsters.... It's just point A to point B to point A to point C and so on. Maybe designed to test new mechanics in the engine? either way, I cannot be done with this fast enough.
other than cosmetics (for colossus), associated player titles and expedition rewards no
I also found this expedition a chore... but I needed that fit
so, like fishing, its an expedition activity.
ig processing the specialised scrap gives phosphorous/uranium/one other thing probably
Almost done....
I'm basically in the same spot lol
desert planet in the remnant expedition was so good except the steep terrain. It was a bit of a bummer that I couldn't make a tunnel straight through the steep mountains, since there is bedrock. But I enjoyed it, it was really good.
If you're determined to play as some kinda scrappy scrap-hauling guy... sunken ships and stuff are already right there. I was determined to buy my first freighter with nothing but the money I earned from scrapping sunken ships and it was actually really fun
But hauling dangerous waste around a planet... nah, no thanks
I will say: The legs feel a bit smoother on the ground. You get them for Phase 4 rewards, equip em asap.
Thanks for answer. That was the issue โ๏ธ
Some of the Customization pieces are obtainable outside of the expedition by doing these activities here's a diagram so you can do them if you want or not
Ha, great. Maybe like the third time I've seen the issue.
Still have other issues. Already did all things in expedition but cannot summon anomaly. There is just no button. In older expeditions you needed to warp to other system for button to appear is that the case? Or you need redeem specific reward from expedition missions, because i still didn't redeemed all of them, wanted to go to anomaly first?
Yeah you need to redeem the rewards
All of them or there is specific one?
It may be all of them, but you can start with the phase 5 main reward and see if that does it.
Ok thanks โ๏ธ will try
How do I get my items from the expedition to my main save if I canโt get to the anomaly?
Claim rewards
Thanks
Wait, no, I meant the stuff in my inventory
And the 600 quicksilver I got as a reward from an expedition quest
You'll need to claim rewards to be able to get to the Anomaly
Ohh, I didnโt see the โstarship is now availableโ portion
what should I supercharge to maximize speed? the engine or the upgrades?
I didn't notice much difference. I opted for the S class with +top speed
sorry I meant for the colossus
me too
are suspicious upgrades available for exocraft?
Took me 6 hours to do that expedition.
Felt like 12.
is there a way to change which colossus variant you have active without building a geobay?
How do I access expedition mods like the spider legs in the main game?
they're unlocked by completing achievements related to scrapping
The spider legs will be unlocked for all your saves once you unlock them in the expedition.
How do I get other gear like off road or caterpillar?
Find a scrap processing place with your collosus, learn the grav gun, go scrappin
I tried making tunnels elsewhere, no problem with bedrock, but colossus does not really fit in. It takes so much excavation and even then it tries to climb the walls
yes, but pilots land rarely

are there upgrades for the flamethrower?
Probably. But easyest to check would be to look for them on space stations outside of expedition
After a brief investigation it appears that there are no mounted flamethrower upgrades. The minotaur flamethrower gets them but not the one for other exocraft. That sucks.
did you try installing the minotaur flamethrower mods in the colossus?
Impossible
How should I store or reduce my excess of items in the expedition?
Yooo any tips to find waypoint beacons outside of planetary structures?
the colossus should have plenty of storage, and if not you can safely trash the dinosaur bones
Sell it use it scrap it process it discard it ๐
Oooh
Cause i cant really get to a space station lol
every junkyard and waste processing facility has a waypoint beacon, you should be able to get the milestone done just off of that
and you can always use the radar to search for other structures
also if you keep your eyes open you'll probably stumble across a few as you journey between scrapyards and salvage facilities...
Thx bro i didnt know thereโs were multiple salvage facilities
I think i might have messed upโฆ i reached a quest to scan 3 animals with the collosus scannerโฆ. But i did that already on foot, meaning there are no animals for me to scan?๐ญ๐ญ
Are we supposed to be able to build a base? What is the asymmetrical cabin?
it's just an alternate cockpit for the colossus that makes it look more like a garbage truck
there's not much point building a base in this expedition since 95% of the content involves driving very slowly over mountaintops to deliver giant explosive eggs
After scanning and uploading on the discoveries tab, both milestones complete.
fortunately they anticipated that many players would do that, so no it's not possible to softlock yourself in this way
typically in an expedition you need a bunch of nanites in the beginning so that you can go to the anomaly and unlock your imported ship and multitool, so scanning around for wildlife is usually the first thing I do, it's habit at this point lol
i finished the expedition
took me a while but it was pretty cool
ok wtf is going on im peacefully fully loaded then suddenly this mf colossus decided to go mach fuck and wont stop so all the cargo is all over the place seriously wtf
I JUST LOST LIKE 15 SPECIAL CARGO
MOTHER......
you get a trade rocket at some point during the expedition
so I just put all the bones in there as soon as I had it
why would they just decide to bloat your inventory space with a double digit number of decently valuable items like that during an expedition
Is there any mechanical difference between the different colossus wheel types? Stability, etc? I mean, the spide legs are -cool-, but are they -better-?
currently on steam experimental branch:
The Field Guide milestone now awards fewer skulls, lessening the inventory space required to claim it.
it seems so, yes. for example rear tracked treads might also help if you dont have mechanical legs yet.
also on steam experimental atm, this one, will certainly be appreciated
Fixed an issue that could cause Exocraft to get caught on obstacles.
Yooooo auto collect doesnโt count for the processing ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
yeah, it doesn't
The mechanical legs are better/more stable?
yep, people have been posting that feedback
I cant for the love of god discover 8 minerals
is there a workaround if i cannot find 8 minerals in the planet i landed? :/ I cannot see any new and i even checked underground. haven't checked under water because i havent even seen an ocean or lake yet
try this
some minerals are really small and I think one is found on a gap on a downwards slope thing
I hope this leads to more customisation for Exocrafts!
It was the little one thank you love you
@spark current the lil ones are found in the river bed thts the one I was stuck on as well lol
I want more minotaur ones
My first expedition, can we keep whatever we got during it? (Modules, nanites)
yes, but there's only so much space in the expedition terminal at the end
so what I usually do is put as much as I can in there, save, return to my primary save from the pause menu, go back to the expedition terminal from my main save and take everything out, resume the expedition, rinse and repeat
do NOT press the end expedition button until everything you want to move over has been moved over
you'll have to uninstall your suit/car/multitool upgrades first if you want to bring those over, of course
it is also worth noting that while the expedition is still active, you can spend a flat rate of nanites at the terminal from your main save to create copies of your expedition multi-tool or expedition ship, not that either of those would be particularly useful from this expedition
units and nanites will get automatically brought back to your main save once you hit the end expedition button
Terminal what now?
Thanks
Is there any communication sell points anywhere bc I cant find any and my inventory is full โน๏ธ
Never mind i found one
How do I get the wide-screen cockpit option for the colossus?
Read all expedition tasks and what rewards they give. One unlocks trade rocket that u can summon to sell stuff
Those mechanical legs are ๐ฅ
Anyone else take back the S-tier fusion engines back with them to main save?
Its all good i just found a free one lmao
Iโm not sure what Iโm supposed to be doing for the waypoint part
Interact with the save poles at points of intrests
It can be bugged if playing with multiplayer on
Me, reading at reddit threads: surely this can't be that bad.
Me, playing the expedition: I didn't even see the cargo dropping out of the flatbed, what, nooooooo.
Smallest containers sometines do that. I put big containers around the flatbed walls to block them of. Its not perfect but helps a bit.
Ugh. That's clever. I tend to just drop stuff carefully from the outside of the truck, but I could just arrange things too
so the expedition is just driving for 15 minutes to the waste disposal spot -3-
not the biggest fat tbqh
yeah, that and picking up after the confetti cannon after you touch a bump
maybe if the terrain was less mountainous and more just flat, sure
relaxing space trucker simulator
It gives that deathstranding feel when u drived the truck
nah actually a getting over it feel when i touch a bump

Maybe a dumb question, how do i unlock the colossus parts ? By doing the expedition ?
And hi everyone, hope you're fine
you keep the units and nanites you got, and even more bonus from stuff you did. and you can sell and keep items in the expedition terminus. I got 16 million at the end after selling everything
except those still aren't fixed yet
it's supposedly fixed in the experimental branch on steam but I wouldn't know if it's actually fixed
you get asymmetrical cabin and mechanical legs from the expedition. for flatbed, you have to craft a gravatino coil by getting the blueprint aboard the anomaly, and after scanning and reaching a waste processing plant and recycling a few scraps, you get it. for the furnace, you need to have 3000 nanites collected in the industrial cleanup mission (NOT in the expedition). you get the other stuff like wheels from getting milestones like 50 toxic waste recycled, again outside the expedition.
As a new player who just got the game yesterday, it looks like this is the perfect first expedition for me. I have no previous expectations for having a ship or being able to leave the planet. Trucker life? Let's go. ๐
That said, will I have any issues later on if I start/complete the expedition without having progressed very far on a normal save?
No, they're completely separate.
After you finish the expedition you'll be able to collect the rewards for it in your normal save at the Nexus in the Space Anomaly (if you follow the main quest, you'll eventually end up there).
nanites for words
damn no gifs perms oops
great! thanks
I also don't think there's a time limit on collecting those rewards either, so take your time.
there's like a lot of knowledge stones
in the expedition
welcome and have fun!!!!
Oh okay, good to know, thank you. Do you know if i can reach the "expedition" planet, when my on expedition is over ? Seems like a great place to farm
You can, if you get the portal coords. But I imagine there's better planets to farm on.
... my colossus keeps running away from me while I'm loading it and I think its a glitch specific to the crab legs because it never did this on half track
this isnt even rolling downhill type running away, this is full accelleration up hills
Thanks everyone for your time and your answers
Point it to the waste center and let it work alone
You probably re-programmed it .. ๐ .. happens sometimes
Wait, what do you mean ?
thats a joke i believe
no .. did happen to me if I grab a waste and drop it with full power into the bed... standing behind of my truck
Oh, oh... i'm not native english, i don't get when it's too subtile jokes
You know what a joke is... sending me 12 mins to a waste heap, only to send me back to the same waste processing plant, then another 15 to the next heap
why do i see half finished houses everywhere???
But yeah sometimes that truck has its own brain
Did just reload and did have no control
must be a bug .. in exp21 you should not be able to build any bases
afaik, it's from people building afterwards i think. either way I made the mistake of having MP on and my world is littered with them too
thats strange Iยดm on experimental version and dont see any other bases
So is my expedition permanently bugged?
Because I can't build an exocraft thing
Thanks, game
Excuse me. Who put this wall here?
have you done the milestones yet?
pinned post:
If you can't place your geobay, try placing it at the starting processing plant. If that doesn't work, go offline and walk far away from where you were (reporting bases no longer works)
remember that you can just terrain manipulate a crossing
Be me
Do the end part of phase 4 before work
End up 2m away from deposit site after driving at least 17 minutes total
Every piece of cargo in my flatbed explodes
Pain
I couldn't get it to work. Had huge gaps and nearly flipped into space
i kept driving till i found a spot i could cross
Just go round it :kekw:
patience my friend, sometimes longer way around is the fastest
oh, also, remember that you can make use of photo mode as a drone camera - and kind of scout ahead too
Yeah I see this too lol
So are we stuck shipless u.til the exp is finished
Believe so
Yeah, I just am stuck between two mountain ranges atm
You must now complete ALL of phase 5 to unlock your ship
Can you only get the mech legs if you do the expedition?
I'm on the 16 16 16
correct
officially, that is
I only got phase 4 to finish and 5 to start so yay
Okay, that was less painful than imagined.
@fallen junco that said, remember that as usual, devs will most likely rerun this expedition again later this year, giving you another opportunity
Is there a way to find a closer waste heap
the scan shows you the closest one
17 minutes ....(I know it's not that long.But still it's a few lol )
I'm attempting to go to the next heap and hope there's a closer plant there tbh
