nms-expedition

[fallen junco]

I already finished it. I just can't find the mech legs in the quicksilver companion shop

[winter locust]

That's the neat part. You don't!

My longest closest was like 25 mins away at one time.

[remote thunder]

sometimes while on the way you'll find others, even without scanning, and especially if you're travelling along a leyline. alternatively, you could select a different milestone, not related to heaps, and trigger a scanner for that. honestly, 17min isnt that far

[fallen junco]

I keep forgetting the actual names of the in-game items. My bad.

[viscid sparrow]

i didnt see them either i just got them as an option

[velvet moon]

Just kind of annoying we can't use a ship at all never realized how useful they are 😂

[thick umbra]

You mean the Crab Legs for colossus ?

[fallen junco]

Yes

[viscid sparrow]

yeah not having ship is a real reality check for the distance you travel

[thick umbra]

that you can select at the modify screen of your colossus geobay

[remote thunder]

should be in quicksilver shop/collect expedition rewards dialog option, can even select exp21 filter to see what you got unlocked - if you just completed expedition, try to save+restart first - yeah might even be already unlocked like musashi says

[velvet moon]

And they couldn't have made a flatter planet ...🤔

[viscid sparrow]

if it was flatter it wouldnt be fun

it would basically be afk simulator

[velvet moon]

Probably true , I'm just not a young Chicjen and my arthritis chronic pain at wnot enjoying this today 😂

[hollow prism]

Just be thankful they didn't give you purple star planets. Base on my experience, purple star planet's terrain is rougher

or put you on planet full of hills

[rocky fractal]

do you not call this a planet of hills? xD

[viscid sparrow]

i found a scrap planet that has 15 u tall hills and a waste place 2 minutes away from the processor

[hollow prism]

YEa its quite hilly i would say, but could've been worst if they decide on another terrain

[velvet moon]

Where do the wideacreen cabin and furnace module come from?

[rocky fractal]

As a sadist myself, I think that would've been too far xD

[mighty timber]

Meant to be challenging

[remote thunder]

or islands

you do not want to try and haul waste underwater, let me tell you

it can be done, i did it because i took it as a challenge - but it can be frustrating, especially if you get stuck in a cave underwater - you're not in a submarine, your underwater prot still depletes lol

lots of patience on that one

[tribal condor]

new fear unlocked

[remote thunder]

been there

[tranquil frost]

how can i find the flying fauna?

[tribal condor]

scan birds

[velvet moon]

So the rest of the collusus stuff is unlocked by challenges I'm assuming ?

[remote thunder]

check discoveries/planet/fauna - you need to see when/where they spawn

[velvet moon]

Like the helmets In fishing?

[tranquil frost]

ok

[remote thunder]

yep

[velvet moon]

Are they listed somewhere ?

[remote thunder]

see image

[odd thorn]

This expedition is the first one I’m not doing I got more then halfway through and then multiple gamebreakung bugs happened and I had to delete my save (my collosus just vanished one of the times)

[mighty timber]

Should give it a working crane in later updates ngl

I wanna lift up waste via crane

And drop it on my flatbed

[mighty timber]

This os gonna be the first one I've completed 🥲

[remote thunder]

hey, sorry to hear that you've had a rough time - but maybe when the redux comes around later this year, most of those bugs will be fixed, will have lowered objective difficulty too

[odd thorn]

Yea

[velvet moon]

My collusus jist ran away from me....🤔

[mighty timber]

Never completed any other expedition ever

[remote thunder]

i've experienced that as well, and also seen other players reporting it

[mighty timber]

• I xbox player mostly so I cant really mod it to play old ones

[remote thunder]

[odd thorn]

HOW MANY ROLES DO YOU HAVE?

[mighty timber]

Never too many

[velvet moon]

I was angry and laughing becaue I just loaded it up at a waste heap6

[odd thorn]

Same

[dry patrol]

question, were you both equipped with the crab legs when it happened?

[remote thunder]

oh - uhm, idk? lots of them are just from typing, others are self assigned, like the expedition ones

[velvet moon]

I was

[worldly salmon]

PSA Teleporters on the planet will trap you at the space station.

[dry patrol]

yeah I think its the crab legs that are causing it. I think putting too much weight towards the cab causes them to accelerate for some reason

[fallen junco]

How do I get the wide-screen cabin?

[dry patrol]

its a title unlock

like the fishing heads

[remote thunder]

on steam experimental branch, we currently have:

• 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.
• While on the Remnant expedition, players who find themselves stranded at the Space Station can now use the Return to the Waste Processing Plant option in the Quick Menu to recover themselves.
  it will hopefully help players in this situation

[remote thunder]

<#nms-expedition message>

[remote thunder]

no, it can happen even when not using crab legs actually

i've reproduced it

[worldly salmon]

when that is live i will stop reminding people 🙂

[dry patrol]

ah

good to know bk

I still think its caused by too much weight in the front of the bed but at least I know its not my wheels now

[remote thunder]

yeah, might be related to trying to pack waste too tight and close to the cabin, not sure

the right side seems to be more affected, if that makes sense

[dry patrol]

I think it might be causing physics objects to clip into the colossus

[remote thunder]

yeah

[dry patrol]

I've had better luck keeping it from happening when I manually drop objects into the colossus rather than shooting them in

[rocky fractal]

You've cursed me, I keep having that acceleration bug now. My colussus just speeds off when I get in it now

[fervent cave]

I guess I’ll wait until Roadsigns is fixed to complete the expedition

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Just a little maddening

No Man’s Stranding sure has been An Experience

I’m just here for the spider legs

[remote thunder]

try to save+reload

[remote thunder]

oh i basically always manually drop them in, really nice and snug

[fervent cave]

I’ve been giving myself just a stupid amount of materials to compensate for the inevitable loss on the way

[rocky fractal]

maybe i've overloading? I just slingshotted my colussus :3

[fervent cave]

Eh, I shouldn’t be too negative

[remote thunder]

heh, yeah, i've seen some pretty extreme cases

[lusty slate]

Going to start the expedition tonight after work. I'm curious how difficult it will feel since I did all the titles and unlocks on main first. Since I've basically mastered the driving now.

[fervent cave]

The traveler REALLY needs to be able to invest in some bungee cords though

[rocky fractal]

you're telling me ratchet straps haven't been invented as well?

[fervent cave]

Maybe they were but… uh… sentinels or something

[rocky fractal]

River beds are also absolutely deceptive... cruising along, relatively flat, in peace and then suddenly: hole

[fervent cave]

This update outdoes the Paleontology one on the “I guess the space game has this now” scale

[lusty slate]

NMS: Blue Collar edition

[fervent cave]

That being said, I do still look forward to cruising around in a spider walker.

[lusty slate]

(I say this as a blue collar worker btw, lol)

[fervent cave]

Maybe I can put this expedition on my resume

[rocky fractal]

(My overalls/uniform may be the exact blue, but they (thankfully) don't have a collar)

[lusty slate]

I'm at a shipping warehouse. So no overalls or blue, but my safety vest is the orange version of the one in the emoji heh.

[rocky fractal]

Mech engineer/plant fitter here. We get the orange hi vis stuff too and honestly I prefer it. But that's only a given out on site, blues just regular old workshop garms, helps see when you're covered in grease/dirt/oil/whatever fun stuff ends up on the railway.

Also you definitely get a knack for the driving over time. Sometimes stuff still goes flying but in general slowing down before a rise or bump tends to make things land back in the bed

[fervent cave]

I’m slowly getting better at it, but my patience also wears thin pretty quickly

[grizzled tiger]

Have you tried to play offline? I was playing offline when I got to it and didn't really have an issue

[fervent cave]

Yeah, I’ve been offline and I’m guessing it’s helped, but

I’m stuck at 4/6

[misty parrot]

I'm just starting (yay Xbox update) and I roamed too far from where I process the scrap junk. How can I get back it's been hours walking in circles

[rocky fractal]

each heap has a waypoint

[dry patrol]

you can also search for another scrapyard

there might be a closer one

use the radar on the colossus

[misty parrot]

I don't have a collosas yet

[misty parrot]

Can you elaboration? I look around with visor and see nothing

[rocky fractal]

At each heap there should be a waypoint in the corner. Just off, usually at the same place/angle, from the main deposit of boxes.

[rocky fractal]

Or here you can see one in the distance, just near this processing plant.

They don't always show up on my visors. I think the bases or amount of things are eclipsing them.

[left perch]

is anyone else having issues completing 'roadsigns'?

[rocky fractal]

Holy hell... what's with the like 20 seperate bones as one reward?

Aaaaannnnddd, I'm done!

[vague fractal]

Somehow I'm completing that one even though I only have 1 waypoint on the discoveries page. It seems to be counting the same one over and over.

[left perch]

ive got 2 and it wont count any others

[vague fractal]

Multiplayer on or off? Are you uploading ones you find? (I still don't know what "upload" does, so I have not been doing that.)

[left perch]

malti is off. just holding butoon to sync

[ocean prism]

i need help guys , im stuck at space station , need someone has crovette to pick me up

[rocky fractal]

can you not land your ship on the planet again?

[worldly salmon]

This expo feels more like we are playtesting mechanics rather than a real addition to the game.

[lost monolith]

Hi guys, I accidentally teleported to space station, is there any way to get out of there?

[lost monolith]

There is no ship, portal works one way (

[vague fractal]

Reading about some past expeditions, that feels like it is a common thing, with new mechanics showing up in them first.
While I grant that I have very little (~1 day of) experience with the game to compare, I am liking this one so far and, luckily, don't seem to be running into some of the problems others have.

[rocky fractal]

there is at the end. Don't use the portal, it traps you on the station apparently.

[lost monolith]

Yes, NOW i know it )

[ocean prism]

any one has crovette can help me to get out of space station in expedtion

[lilac dagger]

I'm glad this runs for 6 weeks

[cloud marten]

Guys how to i find all 8th of the minerals 😭 i have 7 of them

And i found all the fauna, the milestone said i had 5/6 but then when i got the 6th one it said i got 0 discovered

[ocean prism]

ANYONE PLZ

[jagged spruce]

finally the new patch will fix the expedition

[jagged spruce]

I have a corvette but I can't get there without a portal

[ocean prism]

damn

[ocean prism]

can't u join my session by adding u inside game?

[wraith junco]

One of the trees is a rock. Also look in mountains for small pebbles or in caves

[cloud marten]

Sorry bro i’m stuck on a planet 😂

[ocean prism]

BRUH , its not funny i cannot do the exp. im stuck for 3 days

[cloud marten]

Well i already scanned the stone tree 😔

[cloud marten]

Bro my ship is broken 😭

[vivid magnet]

BLUF

[cloud marten]

I can’t fix it how i’mma gon her in outer space

[worldly salmon]

leave the game install the patch it should have a fix for you

[ionic moat]

Whats a quick way to do the roadsigns milestone

[worldly salmon]

new patch will give you a way off

[worldly salmon]

someone has to cheat the game to get a corvette into the expo with you.

[pale agate]

anyone test this one yet to see if cargo is now secured?
Fixed an issue that could cause cargo to be dislodged from the Colossus while driving over some planetary objects.

[cloud marten]

Omg i hated that 😭 they fixed it

[cloud marten]

What about this?

[worldly salmon]

if you read the requirements it tells you to register them for completion

[thick umbra]

PC - Steam ? get the latest patch 6.23

[obsidian zinc]

Played some of the expedition today, was really fun

[jagged spruce]

well no because you can use a portal to go to the glyph coords

but I don't have a portal

or all the glyphs

[wintry inlet]

are we all on the same single planet? (i assumed yes, but i somehow don't know for sure?)

[worldly salmon]

yes because if your not in the expo you wont be able to interact

[raw orbit]

i heard the new update puts an option in the quick menu to teleport you back to the world

try that

[thick umbra]

and it works

[raw orbit]

:O

[raw orbit]

🔥

[velvet moon]

Do the waste dumps refill over time?

[past oak]

Glad they did this, finished the expedition the other day before 6.22. Seent both of these issues a lot over the last 2 days

[grave helm]

Let's suppose I take some of those players portals and then go to the space station, I'd be screwed?

[solemn bane]

As far as I can yell, yes

[solemn bane]

It has screwed over TONS of players. They had to hitch a ride back somehow

[grave helm]

Ok so a no way back gotcha

[solemn bane]

Though this latest patch note is interesting:

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.

Probably only on Steam for now though.

Oh, yep

While on the Remnant expedition, players who find themselves stranded at the Space Station can now use the Return to the Waste Processing Plant option in the Quick Menu to recover themselves.

Fixed an issue that could cause cargo to be dislodged from the Colossus while driving over some planetary objects.

I wonder if this applies to cargo getting ejected when driving over perfectly smooth ground.

[coral hinge]

hey, may be a dumb question, but i've only found seven rocks, do you know of any you struggled to find? i have 5 surface rocks and two stalagtite/mites

[solemn bane]

May be the one in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message

[hazy lance]

Can someone help me rush through the exhibition, I left after so much progress due to falling through map and have to completely restart now

[solemn bane]

Or ther rock tree or the other cobalt one in caves

[solemn bane]

No way to rush this one, unfortunately.

[queen notch]

Crap! I need help

[solemn bane]

In the current patch, animals cannot crap. Not sure it has anything to do with this expedition, though.

[vale sundial]

Is there a easy way to find last mineral or creature, or do i just search on?

[queen notch]

I took a teleporter and now im stuck on the station

[solemn bane]

May be the one in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message

[solemn bane]

They added a fix for PC, but PS5 is out of luck unless you can get someone in-game to transport you back.

[queen notch]

Soo...my expedition run is ruined?

[solemn bane]

Unless you can get someone to transport you. You'll have to spam in-game chat

[queen notch]

I cannt even access that

[solemn bane]

Aside from hitching a ride, I haven't seen anyone get around this

[wraith junco]

If pc patch is out . Ps should get it in few days

Then xbox gog switch

[queen notch]

GOT IT!!

Woooo!

Reloaded a restore point

[solemn bane]

Ah yeah, I should have thought of that. Making a mental note. Someone HAS gotten around it, lol.

[queen notch]

Is there a way to get a ship in this expedition?

Corvettes?

[solemn bane]

Depending on the patch you're on, you'll get it when you complete the last milestone in phase 5 and collect the reward (Quicksilver), or when you finish ALL of phase 5 and collect that overall phase reward. I think for PS5 it'll be the former.

[solemn bane]

Nope, you can only get your starting ship, no other ship purchases allowed.

[mint glacier]

well, you are not meant to ever fly a ship in this expedition, so that makes sense.

[grave helm]

So can I transfer the items on my exocraft to my new save? It has more stuff than my personal inventory

[mint glacier]

ohhh come on... why does Steam have to lose connection right as I was planning to FINALLY continue the expedition...

[tender tusk]

If you started from a existing save you can transfer stuff back if you started form a new save you can't

phase rewards do transfer though

[thick umbra]

I really want to know how you could teleport to the spacestation `?? in expedition21

[true bronze]

So who else is dying for the terrain manipulator flatten function to be able to change height smoothly for making ramps?

because good grief is it frustrating for making roads

[solemn bane]

People are building powered teleporters to troll people

[thick umbra]

Hmm .. I never found any player base ...

[solemn bane]

Go check again. They are absolutely littered everywhere now.

[thick umbra]

and in exp you cant build a base

[thick umbra]

not in my experimental version

[grave helm]

Started from a existing save, guess I'll have to manually take all I want from my exocraft huh

[solemn bane]

You mostly can, sicne all you need is to portal there and build one on a non-expedition save, or once you are finished with a new expedition save you get a base computer.

[thick umbra]

yeah but than I´m no longer in that expedition

[solemn bane]

Yep, and it may take multiple trips to and back from your primary save after loading up the terminal.

[solemn bane]

Doesn't matter, obviously.

[thick umbra]

thats a damn bug than

[solemn bane]

Expedition players can't see non-expedition players, but you can still see each other's bases

[solemn bane]

I've never seen HG indicate this may be a bug

[tender tusk]

okay then yes you can; here is a guide for PC NMS that covers how you can transfer more back that is still usable on consoles; it just takes more time if you want to take back more than noraml https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3572414902

[tranquil iron]

im stuck on the space station lol

[solemn bane]

Load an older save point

[clever sail]

How long does this current expedition run?

[solemn bane]

You can click the events in this Discord to see the end date and time

[tranquil iron]

💪

[clever sail]

Oh wow I didnt know that. Thanks!

[fluid otter]

ugh

i did not care for this one

[solemn bane]

Seems to be the consensus.

[fluid otter]

i normally like grindy expeditions which is why i'm shocked

i adored breach and most people didn't like that either

love the new mechanics though >w< gonna be spending hours on waste planets i can tell

[solemn bane]

Wait, what. What did you not like about the expedition then? lol

[fluid otter]

i think the way that finding special waste specifically (lack of waste heaps, the markers rarely ever working) made the last hour so unbearable. when you don't have a specific goal for special waste in mind i think the trucking/transportation aspect is really fun!

[solemn bane]

Wild. Many sides, many sides.

[high granite]

Would it be possible to ask for some help regarding the Petrology milestone? I have six of the eight minerals scanned, but I’m stumped on the last two. 😅

[wintry inlet]

there are some hints in the pins 🙂

[high granite]

Ah, gotcha. 🙂

Cheers! 😅

[thick umbra]

At least two are for sure in a cave

[fluid otter]

it really is just that aimless wandering sucks. it's great when you have a clear goal in mind.

[solemn bane]

That goal being... recycling more waste?

[queen notch]

Was there earlier. See if you can reload a save point

[soft gyro]

i wanna be upset SOO bad but the way my colossus took off is cracking me up 😭

[tender tusk]

Just be glad there is no gravity anomalies on the planet

[bold owl]

This is insane, i waste triple the amount of time to pick up the shit that falls off out of the flatbed i need to actually go from point A to B

[solemn bane]

I disagree. I hit plenty of them.

[bold owl]

and it just clips through the floor, insanity

[tender tusk]

i didn't but i hit plenty on a non expedition planet, it sucks

[tame mesa]

Do you know why this occurs? It has happened to me several times and I'm unsure as to why it takes off with no driver so aggressively

[solemn bane]

Bad physics engine and a mix of some hardware/graphical settings that haven't been thoroughly tested.

[soft gyro]

my best guess is it has to do with the way the physics system interprets the force given by the trash on the colussus, and it just freaks out when there isnt "enough" space for all the objects

ive noticed it only really happens when my bed is really full

it pisses me off but sometimes it results in goofy ass moments like my video lmfao

also having the legs + all S class engine upgrades means it really exaggerates the issue

[tame mesa]

That helps clarify a little, thank you. It hasn't been a huge issue, just more of a slightly annoying but funny bug, I wasn't sure if there was any specific reason as to why it happened

[soft gyro]

same, it might get fixed in the next patches, but who knows lol

[solemn bane]

Well, hard to say specifically, but generally these issues are cause by poor collision detection and bad momentum calculations. Something as weird as framerate can change how calculations are done and result in crazy numbers that can send things flying. They are attempting to fix this stuff, I haven't tested the latest patch but it says:

Fixed an issue that could cause cargo to be dislodged from the Colossus while driving over some planetary objects.

That's for things like this, but most likely it's the same issue as above, just momentum being transfered to the collosus and sending it flying

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/979100431315796018/1472915416916426876/rapidsave.com_the_straw_that_broke_the_camels_back_for_me-k3l91hg18ljg1_edit.mp4?ex=69964920&is=6994f7a0&hm=56571b93fe53cd69cebef53e2fa8e790ddd13c00cd9a790b7fdfc1feb9d92c18&

[tender tusk]

yeah that would suck

[cloud stream]

Hi yall can someone help me with something? I'm stuck in the space station any ideas to get out?

It's in the expedition

[solemn bane]

Reload an earlier save point

[cloud stream]

Can't had only one and it's in the space station lol

[solemn bane]

You get to wait for the patch that just came out for PC, or you have to hitch a ride back to the planet somehow.

[cloud stream]

What kinda patch?

[proven moat]

hahah, love this, but sorry for laughing

[solemn bane]

It adds a "please send me back to the planet" thing to the quick menu because this is a big issue

https://www.nomanssky.com/2026/02/remnant-6-23/

[cloud stream]

Alright thank you 💪 @solemn bane

What you think how long will it need?

[solemn bane]

Your profile doesn't tell me what platform you're on

[cloud stream]

Ps5

[solemn bane]

Few days probably

[cloud stream]

Appreciate ur help mate

[soft gyro]

Watching the legs flail as the trash just kinda scattered in the wind got me lol

[late cypress]

How do I complete roadsingins if it's not working

[solemn bane]

Save it for the end when you get a ship, easier to find waypoints that way. Otherwise you just have to keep finding new waypoints to chart and hope they work. Nothing really seems to "fix" the problem.

Though this was also fixed on PC in a recent patch, theoretically.

[late cypress]

Ok

Ty

[royal burrow]

I could not find the last few specialist waste but I noticed im given a starship, can I fly to a different planet to complete it?

[solemn bane]

Yep.

[tame nacelle]

Yeah. With Ship was it easy. Scan with Truck for the entry, fly there. Scan the buildings around. 5 min with a Ship vs 4 Hours on Truck @late cypress

[solemn bane]

But FYI, other planets can be even worse

[solemn bane]

You can also just fly to the other side of the planet and scan for stations, it should give you new ones.

[royal burrow]

wouldnt it keep giving me the same starting location and rendevous 5?

[solemn bane]

One way to find out. It shouldn't do that, but this expedition seems to be acting strangely, so who knows.

[tepid grove]

I just hit 100 processed cargo.
Funny thing is
The LAST PIECE in my last run of cargo
was piece #100

[solemn bane]

FYI you can do this more quickly by scanning for processing plants in your collosus, flying there, scrapping the regular waste, then scanning in your collosus again for another processing plant, then repeating.

[tepid grove]

Huh. Neat.

[solemn bane]

That's how I was able to get my 200, for what reason I don't know.

I cannot transport waste in my collosus, at least I couldn't in the last patch. It may work better now, but I ain't about to find out.

[velvet moon]

Omg I'm done for today , this 16/16/16 part is frustrating

18 min to heap 18 min back.

[solemn bane]

yyyep

[velvet moon]

If you don't lose anything

[solemn bane]

18 min to heap, 1 hour back

[velvet moon]

👆

[royal burrow]

ill need to bring the colossus bay with me right? can I delete the bay to get the materials back?

[solemn bane]

Once you create the bay the first time, you can just summon the collosus from the quick menu (on the same planet). But yes, you can dismantle the bay to get the parts back.

[royal burrow]

I cant seem to pick it up

[solemn bane]

Build menu, edit, delete. On PC that's z, c, x.

[royal burrow]

idk if im unlucky? I flew across the planet but scanner says the nearest waste heap is one hour away by colossus

maybe there will be a processing plant near there?

[solemn bane]

Yeah just fly there then scan for a processing plant from there, see if it gives you one close by

[royal burrow]

nope clsest processing plant is 46 minutes away

am I just unlucky

[solemn bane]

Maybe, I think they messed up the logic. I also think it's fixed in the latest PC patch.

[sand wave]

Hi everyone
Does anyone know what button is for the brakes on the colossus?
I'm playing on ps5 pro and on psvr2. When I'm loading the colossus it tends to roll away.

[royal burrow]

I updated already

[solemn bane]

Yeah I think that's just how it works.

[solemn bane]

Or maybe it was

Fixed an issue that allowed base-sharing with players who have yet to complete the Remnant expedition.

[solemn bane]

Oh, if you're on PC just use the quickmenu to send you back to the start, then scan for a heap from there.

From the patch notes today:

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.

[royal burrow]

but scanning at the start just gives rendevous 5

does the specialist waste restock there?

alr there is a new bug. the scanner often refuses to give me the closest waste heap or processing plant. I was driving at one 10 min away, got stuck, reloaded, then it gave me one 50 minutes away and refused to show me the 10 min one

[jagged spruce]

are you selecting the right milestone?

[remote thunder]

try to save+restart game, then try again

[royal burrow]

im on the last leg where you need 16 each

and i had to fly across the planet because I looked everywhere near the spawn and cant find any

[remote thunder]

personally, i basically head to a waste plant, then manually search around it for heaps/specialist industrial visor icons

[royal burrow]

nearest heap was 40 min away and special industrial waste often dont say special when scanned

so I have to check every pile

[solemn bane]

Yep

[royal burrow]

oh ok

[solemn bane]

Regardless, now that you have a ship you can fly there first to make sure

[royal burrow]

ill try that

[royal burrow]

this does not work

[solemn bane]

Was there still not stuff at the waste heap? Maybe try turning multiplayer off or something? Mine was always restocked when I went back there (sans ship), but I was playing offline

[fiery estuary]

How does one do the roadsigns objective

[weak niche]

what were the devs thinking with -fuel usage on colossus modules
they barely even take any resources to run

[remote thunder]

check this post <#nms-expedition message>

[grave helm]

Are the new clothes permanently dirty? No clean look for them?

[indigo falcon]

The mining laser didn't take any resources at all initially either, that's been fixed now in a patch, heh

[solemn bane]

Dirty? Maybe it's just the shading?

[grave helm]

They're dirty

In white it's even more visible

[solemn bane]

That's more of a leathery texture thing, but I see where you're coming from

[grave helm]

I don't think so. It's full of stains

[vague fractal]

Is there a way, other than "just claim the rewards, silly!", to get the expedition to stop yelling at me about a few unclaimed rewards?

[solemn bane]

Like I said, I think they were going for a leather finish. It looks like my leather duster, like this:

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51TiYdKEgCL._AC_UY1000_.jpg

[grizzled valve]

did they patch this trash yet?

[solemn bane]

Though definitely more pronounced, but it's a video game so

[solemn bane]

Yes, twice.

[solemn bane]

Nope

[grizzled valve]

is it still a form of torture or is it better?

[solemn bane]

Haven't played it again, but they have at least said they fixed a lot of issues that bothered me

[twin veldt]

did they make collision on the collusus even smaller? all my loot keeps falling off even more now

[whole seal]

Drive smarter

#physics

[twin veldt]

not the issue here

[indigo falcon]

with 6.22 I have lost 1 item out of 30

I don't know if maybe you're playing on experimental

[vague fractal]

I'll have to watch videos of how people are driving. Maybe I'm being too cautious, but I've only lost 1 item and that was because a plant clipped 1 tire and I expected to destroy it, but it near flipped me instead.

[indigo falcon]

I take it nice and slow; saves me from stopping and getting out to reload crap or chase after it

not even bothering to put speed upgrrades in the exocraft. don't need em

[ashen shore]

they gave players too much time for this expedition for once, first day going on and its done

not a bad thing btw

[indigo falcon]

not eveyone can set aside a several hour block. lotta folks gotta take it in small bits in evenings here or there

[ashen shore]

i like that they gave players enough time this expediton

[indigo falcon]

as it should be

[ashen shore]

i usually barely finish them with a few hours left

[indigo falcon]

ah ha

I can imagine the change is nice for you 🙂

[ashen shore]

this was quite enjoyable too tbh

[indigo falcon]

expeditions are often luck of the draw: good rng, don't hit any game breaking bugs, etc, then it can be a great experience

[ashen shore]

plus i kept crashing first time i tried

[indigo falcon]

oof

[somber monolith]

Hey so I may have messed up slightly and got stranded on the space station in the new expedition and I don’t have any way back by myself, idk if it’s possible but could someone join me with their corvette and take me back down to the planet?

[ashen shore]

since xbox series x doesnt have framerate limiter or anything

[indigo falcon]

I don't have multiplayer. but: the 6.23 (?) patch fixes that, giving you the option in the quick menu to 'return to waste processing plant' from the space station

[somber monolith]

Really?

[indigo falcon]

i you don't see that option now, you should in the next update

uh huh

[somber monolith]

Where in the quick menu?

[indigo falcon]

While on the Remnant expedition, players who find themselves stranded at the Space Station can now use the Return to the Waste Processing Plant option in the Quick Menu to recover themselves. https://www.nomanssky.com/2026/02/remnant-6-23/

[fiery estuary]

Is the roadsign mission optional or do i have to do in order to get the star ship

[dreamy raven]

I am trying to find that spot in the quick menu also

[indigo falcon]

uh the one you use to go to the anomaly or uh charge your mining beam

[dreamy raven]

I am VERY far from a waste processing station

[indigo falcon]

just scroll through the options

[dreamy raven]

I've been doing that for a few mins now

[indigo falcon]

if you'renot on 6.23 it may not be there yet

[dreamy raven]

I don't see anything about recovering position

[ashen shore]

tbh its not all that hard if you just cycle through every structure type on the scanner

[dreamy raven]

I just updated

[indigo falcon]

you're looking for Return to the Waste Processing Plant

[somber monolith]

Is it out on Xbox yet cause I’m not seeing the option anywhere

[indigo falcon]

I don't believe so

[fiery estuary]

Ive tried but alot of the structures arnt counting

[ashen shore]

not from what i know

[somber monolith]

Damn

So I’m stuck till then

[ashen shore]

we get updates 24 hours after release

[icy frigate]

odd thing
I don't have access to the flatbed for the colossus despite doing the expedition

[dreamy raven]

I'm on PC... not seeing "return to" 🙁

[indigo falcon]

yes, you'll need to be patient for a bit longer

[somber monolith]

When did this one come out?

[ashen shore]

do the scraper mission

[dreamy raven]

I'm like 17 mins out

[ashen shore]

probably today

im on xbox too

[dreamy raven]

50 mins on foot LOL

[somber monolith]

Damn so I’m just stuck till tomorrow then

[indigo falcon]

17 minutes isn't that far, I don't think it's going to count

[indigo falcon]

yep, play something else for now, watch streams, or whatever....

[dreamy raven]

ok, time to start rolling again then. (I've already been travelling for like 10 mins)

[ashen shore]

pretty much just find a salvageable scrap planet and scan for a processing station

[dreamy raven]

ty

[somber monolith]

Alr well thank you, least I know I don’t have to restart or anything

[indigo falcon]

you bet

[ashen shore]

how many hours u guys got?

im almost hitting 200

[indigo falcon]

between 2 and 3k, plenty of players around with a lot more though

[ashen shore]

my brother has around that but rarely plays anymore

[dreamy raven]

It is 17min via colossus not on foot

[indigo falcon]

yeah 17 min via colossus is still not lots.

[dreamy raven]

I'm around 260 hours... I only started with the corvette update

oof that's punishing lol... my poor "w" finger haha

[indigo falcon]

😄

[ashen shore]

i play every expedition release but also played at release of the game

[icy frigate]

cool

[indigo falcon]

I don't do every expd any more. but I do look in to see how people are doing

[ashen shore]

i like ur pfp btw^^

[dreamy raven]

I have like 4 hours at game release but it was a bad experience and I didn't learn anything, so i count my fresh start at corvette

[indigo falcon]

and I seem to berunning this one for whatever reason

[ashen shore]

fair enough tbh

[indigo falcon]

you're playnig a different game at that point

[dreamy raven]

yep, very diff now

[ashen shore]

almost space engineers level building now

[dreamy raven]

I've got 10s of thousands of hours in other games. Looking forward to getting there with this one.

[indigo falcon]

could turn out that way 🙂

[ashen shore]

how laggy would a 1-1 star destroyer be if it was just a base? im atempting one with all coridoors

[indigo falcon]

over 100 pieces?

[ashen shore]

wayyy over

probably something around 100k if i use smaller parts

anyways im going back to my hell that is 1-1 stardestroyer

[indigo falcon]

good luck!

I don't see how that doesn't run into the building part limit but... guess you'll see

[eager pivot]

yoyo; does anyone know how long this expedition lasts?

[ashen shore]

5 weeks

[eager pivot]

oh okay, so the cutoff is like, sometime in april?

[ashen shore]

around end of may

go to the server events for an acurate date

[eager pivot]

ohh okay

Expedition completed !! Wooo! What a trip.

[solemn bane]

Took me a few trips

[elder pumice]

Facts. im glad its over

[dreamy raven]

I am passing the long journey by messing with sentinels

[patent hill]

One more done

[elder pumice]

I put one in a spin cycle til the bolts fell out

[lunar void]

question

why do we have anti grav guns

but we still havent invented ratchet straps

[urban vessel]

how goes garbage cleaning ?

[small acorn]

once the expedition is done and we are back to our main save, there's a new salvage quest, are we redoing the whole thing on our main save ??

[fiery estuary]

Is there a way i can find the starting waste processing plant

[small acorn]

if you took a screenshot, maybe using a portal with the coord

[solemn bane]

Someone will need to mark it with a save beacon or something, then get the lat/long when they get a ship by going into first person view

[fiery estuary]

How do i get a ship cause when i goto buy one its says ship pirchance is unavailable

[solemn bane]

Depending on which patch you're on, either finish the last milestone in phase 5 and collect the reward, or finish all the milestones in phase 5 and collect the phase reward.

[fiery estuary]

How do i yell

[solemn bane]

Open mouth and think about this expedition

[fiery estuary]

Tell lol

[solemn bane]

Well, you have to do the milestones regardless, so I guess just do them. If it's not one, then it's the other.

[fiery estuary]

Fair

Thx

[mighty timber]

do waste heaps respawn toxic corrosive etc waste

cuz its sending me to the same one again

[solemn bane]

They did for me. I might turn multiplayer off just in case there's some way for other players to claim it befoe you get there

[mighty timber]

mk ty

[warm hound]

yo so like how do i do the way point quest fast

[solemn bane]

Skip it til you have a ship

[warm hound]

bet

[dapper aurora]

Is it possible that someone can rescue me off the space station in this current expedition? I’m currently stuck with no way off

[solemn bane]

Are you able to reload an earlier save point?

[dapper aurora]

Negative

I have no clue how to get off it

[solemn bane]

PC just got a patch to warp you back in the quick menu, so it'll be on PS5 eventually. Until then yeah you'll need someone who hacked a corvette on to the expedition to be able to get back.

[dapper aurora]

I need it so lmao

[proper saddle]

So if I already scanned all the creatures in the planet… what do I do?

[solemn bane]

Upload them on the Discoveries tab

[proper saddle]

Wait there is hope for me yet, I apparently am missing one

I forgot about this one nocturnal creature

Haven’t seen it though

[jagged spruce]

have they fixed roadsigns

[patent hill]

That was the last one I did where I had access to my ship and kinda just flew about and found abandoned building and got it that way, had MP off too

[soft gyro]

so tired of people taking up nice building spots and literally just leaving a bare base computer there

[patent hill]

@jagged spruce

[ashen shore]

my friend has interacted with 3 chart points and the objective never went up

[jagged spruce]

it should be fixed in this patch coming out

[soft gyro]

okay no real question: is there a single claimable spot on the expedition planet? i dont see a single game-generated or player-generated structure within 1000u of me and i still cannot claim a base location

[indigo falcon]

no base computer while you're on the expedition so this is why you will see no bases

[jagged spruce]

funny

[indigo falcon]

previously, you could see bases of folks who had completed the expedition and built on the planet. that's been patched out now

[solemn bane]

Today's patch made it so you can't see player bases while on the expedition.

oops, too slow

[solemn bane]

Skip it til they get a ship. Easier to get waypoints with one, and that milestone is buggy as hell on previous patches

[tepid oyster]

Hi. How does one end an expedition upon completion?

[solemn bane]

If you started from an existing save, summon your ship and go to the Anomaly. Otherwise claim all the rewards and your save is converted to a normal save.

[tepid oyster]

I did start from an existing save but the only ship I got to summon is this Itirod's Defeat

[grave helm]

How are people building bases in the same place in the expedition planet?

[solemn bane]

Yep.

[solemn bane]

Finishing the expedition or going back on their primary save, but today's patch makes it to where you can't see those bases while on the expedition.

[tepid oyster]

Quick question, do I have to worry about the cargo on my Colossus?

[solemn bane]

You mean when you go back to your primary save? It will get auto-sold.

[old dew]

I do not have enough swear words in my vocabulary to express my frustration with this expedition. The flatbed parts are less fun, more aggravating.

[solemn bane]

yep

[grave helm]

I've seen them during the expedition today. But I'm on my primary save now, and there are 5 bases in the same scrapyard

[solemn bane]

Like, 5 base computers?

[jagged spruce]

nice

[jagged spruce]

eh there's beauty in the slow repetitive tasks

[indigo falcon]

if they aren't bugged for the player. I've had good luck with them so far but not everyone has

[pearl nacelle]

so with this expedition stranding you on one planet, there's not really a way to bring your main save multitool and ship in is there?

[solemn bane]

Correct

I think you can grab your multitool at the end, but not your ship

[random fox]

Okay so, how can I find my starship if I have no idea where it is?

[solemn bane]

Once unlocked, you summon it

[tidal sleet]

how to create a base computer to get a base i saw some players do it and build a safe route to colossus for ride ? i can't find base computer in build menu.

[solemn bane]

Finish the expedition if you started a new save on the expedition, or come back to that planet on your primary save.

[random fox]

I'm at phase 4 and I was starting to get worried if I couldn't find my starship to complete the exhibition.

[solemn bane]

Basically you just unlock it at the end so you can complete the expedition and return to your primary save via the Anomaly, or so you just have a ship when the save is converted to a normal one.

[small acorn]

Dang i didn't know everything left in the colossus inventory during the expedition would be gone once the expedition is over, RIP

[tidal sleet]

u mean come to same planet outside the expedition in main save, build what i need and go to expedition again to complete it.

it it allowed?
how to get planet information and location ?

[solemn bane]

You could, but I doubt you'd be able to build anything that would help you on this expedition. You can get the glyphs by taking a screenshot in-game, and for the lat/long you'd need a ship in first person mode to see them on the dash. But to unlock the ship you need to complete phase 5, so.

Also on the current patch you cannot see bases from outside the expedition while in the expedition.

[fickle ferry]

my truck just went flying forward a bit wha

[tribal hatch]

I was on the last expedition mission from the first section driving back a bunch of stuff when the stuff went everywhere because I teleported my truck to see what would happen (i had loads of stuff so it took soooo long to get back) then as soon I get in to drive, the truck glitches into the ground, does a few 360s launched the stuff again so I just quit😭

[solemn bane]

lol, can't blame you.

[indigo falcon]

lolOLOl now I find the pulse spitter tech. I was wondering why I got the three upgrades and no actual weapon 😛 (I claimemd it when told as I completed the llast road trip 🤦 )

that might be the fastest I have ever finished an expedition. huh

[distant cave]

Im free from the space station at last

[polar sage]

I can't get the Gravitino Coil to grab Sentinels

[distant cave]

Freedom at last 😭 (upd btw)

[polar sage]

(Also -- they aren't dying. Known bug?)

[indigo falcon]

try the ones without armour and see if that's better. so healer, the summoner, the regular drones

it should work on all but there have been issues with it earlier

and you can't kill them by lobbing them, you have to rely on the good old standardmethod (shotgun or other weapon of your choice)

[polar sage]

When I kill them (with guns) they "die" and drop item but they still exist, smoking. It MAY be a mod's fault but that should be strictly aesthetic.

[indigo falcon]

that's 99.99% likely

I have heard 0 reports of them being unkillable with regular weapons this expd

[jagged spruce]

what do you do with lat/long anyway?

[polar sage]

Ok. I have a mod that turns their dropped items into burned-out sentinel shells. Maybe these updates broke that mod.

[grave helm]

Yes, but they all had an unique icon

[indigo falcon]

probably. I woul ddisable it (and really all other mods) and see what happens.

missed opportunity: shuolda given us a jawa outfit 😛

[polar sage]

That was it. NexusMods had the bug reported and the dev updated it.

[indigo falcon]

don't get mewrong, I like teh new drip a lot. but still

[fickle ferry]

add a roof to the flat bed

[vernal vigil]

no, make the walls higher

and then enclose those walls with a roof

[fickle ferry]

okay yes also make where they can't take damage

[vernal vigil]

well no, that removes the risk of specialist scrap

there still has to be some difficulty

[fickle ferry]

no I am saying in the flat bed

[vernal vigil]

they can take damage in the flat bed?

[fickle ferry]

oh

[vernal vigil]

damn how recklessly are you driving to damage them in there 😭

[fickle ferry]

supesntion

first person

driving

[vernal vigil]

ive never had specialist scrap explode on me except for when it flies out and hits a mountain at 98 units an hour

first person doesnt even change how you drive vro

[fickle ferry]

no its hard to turn in fp

[vernal vigil]

also like
fp is an option

you can go into 3rd whenever

[indigo falcon]

I drive in third person always. the only time I'm in first person is in the ship, for the additional nav info. anyways nothing exploded on me but I also got lucky and only dropped one item

and given that I started this expd yesterday ..? I think? on 6.22, and completed it on 6.22, it had a pile of fixes in

[vernal vigil]

I always go into 1st person for everything but exocrafts, because of how terrible the controls feel

[indigo falcon]

I did not love camera-to-turn, but I got used to it

[vernal vigil]

I finished the expedition like, 4 days after it released on xbox lol

as an xbox player

[indigo falcon]

that's pretty speedy

[vernal vigil]

its not that hard tbh

just nyoom to scrap piles till you find specialist scrap, then carry it back to the processing plant slowly and carefully so you can nyooom around even more

[indigo falcon]

part of it is luck. read reports of players getting their cargo shot up by pirates. others having really bad collision bugs (mostly fixed now... maybe). still others whose exocraft walked away on them during the loading!

[vernal vigil]

and all the other objectives are stuff you should alr be doing in a survival run

[vernal vigil]

oh I had my share of bugs

[indigo falcon]

and that's not even accounting for the people who got stranded at the space station

[indigo falcon]

impressive

[woeful niche]

been a while, but iirc normally you do not get a save when leaving an exocraft. do you get one in this expedition or do you have to build a save point. i'm somewhat afraid to logg off...

[indigo falcon]

waypoints or a save beacon/save point

[vernal vigil]

your game autosaves every minute or so lmao

[fickle ferry]

DAMN I would say emotional damage

[indigo falcon]

you do have the eability to build both of those

[woeful niche]

ok, thanks.

[woeful niche]

it's not obvious that its happening until you log off for the first time I suppose

[indigo falcon]

the base camp (waste processing camp) and the waste heaps all ahve a waypoint

and there's a big difference between an autosave and a restore point

[vernal vigil]

when you press the "leave game" option in the menu it tells you how long ago the last autosave was

[woeful niche]

ah, true. didn't think that far ahead. thanls

[vernal vigil]

np

if you're closing the game, an autosave is essentially the same as a restore point

and this expedition is REALLY easy to survive in, so you shouldnt really need a restore point in the first place unless you're brand new

[fallow monolith]

Is it possible to go back to the expedition planet manually through gates after finishing it? I want to help those still doing the expedition

[vernal vigil]

yup!

either use your own expedition save to check the planet coords, or search em up

[indigo falcon]

you won't be able to help them if you've already exited the expedition

[vernal vigil]

you can at least contribute to the highways growth in multiplayer

[indigo falcon]

so if you started at the anomaly and went through the final "end expedition" at the terminal that awards you units and nanites, you're now in a different mode than expedition players (or if you started from a new save and it has converted to normal mode)

[fickle ferry]

if only the monitor got a gravity gun uprgarde

[indigo falcon]

need to move it closer to you?

[floral monolith]

So Im trying to place my collossus geobay and no matter how far I walk or how far away someone elses base I keep getting "you do not have permission to edit" what can I do.

[fallow monolith]

Oh? What is that?

[vernal vigil]

people are making bases across the planet and making long pathways with those bases that are large enough to drive on, and way safer than the bumpy roads

[solemn bane]

Place it right on the starting waste processing plant. If that doesn't work, go offline and try walking far away.

[indigo falcon]

offline is recommended in any case

[vernal vigil]

yeah, offline is super reccomended on this expedition cuz the greifers

[floral monolith]

ok I'll ty that if I can remeber where the starting waste plant is.. I have walked so much I have no idea what way is south and east anymore... lmao

[indigo falcon]

thing is those bases are not visible to expd players, because that's recently been patched out

[solemn bane]

They're probably on console

[floral monolith]

I am on console... PS5

[indigo falcon]

the waste processing plant should have a special icon still visible to you (white with... eh hard to describe)

[solemn bane]

A crane?

[floral monolith]

ok I'lll look for it

[indigo falcon]

I'm also on PS5. at any point once you've been there once... yeah that's it

the icon will stay visible in the HUD.

[floral monolith]

sweet

[indigo falcon]

safe trucking!

[solemn bane]

Yeah that's a crane

[indigo falcon]

the whole time I'm like "whata is that weird thing" lol

[fiery estuary]

IM FREE I DID IT I COMEPLETED THE EXPEDITION

[indigo falcon]

congrats!

now speed run it 😛 😄

there are actually two streamers who are planning speedrun routes right now!

[fiery estuary]

Hard pass

How do i unlock the flat bed module

Its not showing as something ive unlocked

[indigo falcon]

get to a waste processing plant in your regular save

that should do it, if not, save and exit, then reload

[dapper aurora]

I’m still stuck on the expedition, I don’t want to start over haha

[floral monolith]

yeah nothing I did helped. Tried shutting off multiplayer mode, and walked away in different directions for quite awhile. Still got cannot build, no edit permission

[indigo falcon]

you can do it!

[dapper aurora]

I’m stuck on the space station

[indigo falcon]

a fixis coming! 6.23 will let you find "return to waste processing plant" in the quick menu from the space station

[dapper aurora]

I heard

[indigo falcon]

what paatch are you on? and what platform

[dapper aurora]

Ps5

[floral monolith]

I just did an update like yesterday I think, and I'm on PS-5

[indigo falcon]

Fixed an issue that allowed base-sharing with players who have yet to complete the Remnant expedition. <-- 6.23 ,yet to land fo rps5

keep mp off, wait for that patch to come through

[floral monolith]

so just wait for the next bug fix? I can do that. been trying to keep up on all the expiditions, I missed the last tho sadly enough

[indigo falcon]

(yesterday 6.22 landed for us)

yeah, it should show up in a day, or two, hopefully < 1 day

I'm on ps5 but I played through with mp off

[floral monolith]

yeah I should have done that from teh start. I mean I'm not that far into it I suppose. so if I really wanted to I could just start a new one

[indigo falcon]

you could. whichever you're comfortable with

https://www.nomanssky.com/2026/02/remnant-6-23/ patch notes for those interested

[floral monolith]

I'll see what the next patch does and go from there

nic, thats a lot of fixes

[indigo falcon]

6.22 was a lot as well. they're trying to get things sorted for players asap

[floral monolith]

yeah its one reason I'm not getting to upset. I know they try hard and fast to get things fixed for us. unlike other games that take forever

[candid panther]

is there a way to chart waypoints quicker from nothing or will i have to make dozen minute drives between each one

[indigo falcon]

waypoints? well each waste processing plant has one, and there's a shelter by one I think, and I think you pass some srt of way point when heading to the monolith

but if you just (with mp off) save at the processing plant's waypoint and at each waste heap, that's 6

[candid panther]

problem is that i only discovered turning off multiplayer after i completed all the waste processing plants

[indigo falcon]

oh shhhh.... I see

[candid panther]

i gotta go foraging

[indigo falcon]

well there's a patch coming with a fix in theory, 6.23 "Implemented a recovery fix for players who could not discover waypoints on expedition worlds."

https://www.nomanssky.com/2026/02/remnant-6-23/

otherwise, explore around, you can scan for some buildings (not the alien structures or monoliths though) but thos emight not be theclosest to you

or just use the hud and scan like you do on foot, look for the building icon

but yeah if you can't wait, youll be traveling around a bit

you do have all the scanner stuff installed in the exocraft right?

[candid panther]

yeah i have everything, its bretty much the only milestone i dont have

[indigo falcon]

gotcha

well it's a lovely day for a drive in the country 😛 😛

[candid panther]

i probably should just give it a week before i touch any fresh expeditions

[indigo falcon]

with mp off, a lot of bugs are eliminated

it's been out about a week now I guess, so that sounds about right

[candid panther]

kinda wish i didnt have to turn mp off
somethoug about seeing a half dozen bases on a really cluttered ui makes the game feel that much more alive

[indigo falcon]

normally you can see bases even with mp off, comm balls too

it's just that you don't get the base computer during this expd so no one can build them

[quaint stone]

How to find the last mineral? Having a hard time with whatever the last one is

[candid panther]

they most commonly spawn in those little trenches that are offcolor to the rest of the landscape

[indigo falcon]

try: the large tree that has the name (when scanned) "rock tree", it's actually a rock

try also: the dark grey patches of earth, checking for small rocks there

[candid panther]

if youre talking about those tiny pebbles

[indigo falcon]

try also: the two minerals in caves (stalag{tm}ites

then thereis one which is tall and has a point on top, a smallis boulder called "big rock"

and there are the obvious ones, like the one that has two pillars and is everywhere

and the very large one that needs an adv mining laser

[quaint stone]

Is it better to supercharge the engine? Or an S class engine upgrade instead

[indigo falcon]

I uh... never installed the speed upgrades, not even one (but I did put the grip one in there). speed seems not so helpful on tjis expd

[solemn bane]

I didn't notice much difference.

[quaint stone]

lowkey what am i missing

[indigo falcon]

one from the dark grey patches i think

[quaint stone]

k thx

[indigo falcon]

you want to find one of those trenches because they are long enough you'll find the missing rock there, the smaller grey patches often don't

(is it bad that I know all of the expd rocks by heart? probably eh)

[quaint stone]

k yeah just found it

[crude sinew]

Atlas bless the Worm Highways

[hazy lance]

Is someone who is done the exhibition able to fly back to the planet and help me get around fast

[high granite]

Can you unlock the additional Colossus customisation options (ie the Widescreen cabin, the different wheel / track options) outside of the Expedition?

[solemn bane]

Yep

[high granite]

Awesome, cheers! 🙂

[hazy lance]

?

[quasi copper]

If you're way off in the middle of nowhere, there's supposed to be a Quick-Menu option to return to the station or the facility now.

[hazy lance]

I can’t seem to find it

[hazy lance]

Where would that be

[quasi copper]

On PC, hit 'X'. Just started the whole thing myself, but the patch notes said something about it.

[hazy lance]

Ah shoot I’m on ps5

[quasi copper]

Bother.

[quasi copper]

The patch notes don't say it's PC-only, but I don't really know whether they tend to.

[hazy lance]

I also took someone’s portal to the space station from the exhibition planet

And there no return option so I’m just saved stuck on space station

No ship nothin cant summon it or anything

[quasi copper]

Can't use the teleporter on the station to go back to that base?

[granite stratus]

how do I make it so it's only me and my friend on the expedition

[hazy lance]

No

It is showing no portals to go back to now that I’m there

[thick umbra]

what if you load an older save

[marsh haven]

you should be able to use a teleporter to visit any teleporter youve touched. so a return should always be possible

if not, its well worth reporting to

[thick umbra]

I have seen that in exp21 the spacestation Teleporter list is empty

And if not .. all player bases can not be used bc the download did always fail

[marsh haven]

how... how did you select the space station. it shouldn't have been on the players teleporter list itself as you havnt visited it

[thick umbra]

PC/Steam player should see this :

if stranded on a SpaceStation

[quick urchin]

Ay guys

What do I do if I lost my geobay

[quasi copper]

They're PS5. Is that fix not out on PS5 yet?

[quick urchin]

For my colossus

[quasi copper]

Gather the stuff again and build a new one.

[quick urchin]

Ok

So there’s no to back to it/scan?

[quasi copper]

I think constructible tech has a scan icon, but only if you're pretty close to it.

[quick urchin]

Dang ok thanks

[quasi copper]

I usually pop my exocraft up and then delete the geobay right away so I have the stuff back and can build it elsewhere.

[quick urchin]

Oh that makes sense

I thought it would break the truck too but that’s a good idea

Or I could just build it at the processed

Processor

[quasi copper]

Once the truck is up, it's up, so you're good to delete the geobay.

[quick urchin]

Yea

[quasi copper]

BTW, for science, I left a piece of industrial waste on my colossus and then resummoned it. The waste was gone. Oh, well. It basically dropped it at the location the truck teleported from.

[inland sky]

Does anyone know why the expeditions are bugging so hard rn?

It didn’t transfer the stuff using the expedition terminal at the anomaly and it’s not counting a lot of my objectives

The Chart waypoints mission isn’t counting all of my waypoints

[solemn bane]

To collect your stuff you have to actually go to the anomaly, which you can’t do on this expedition

[inland sky]

There isn’t even an 8th mineral

[solemn bane]

This is a known bug. A fix will make it to consoles eventually.

[inland sky]

I wish console would get their updates faster

[solemn bane]

There is. Check the pins for one you may have missed.

[inland sky]

Ohhhh okay thank you

[inland sky]

I can’t find it

Is it in the water?

[solemn bane]

Did you check the pins?

(Pinned Messages)

[inland sky]

Sorry where would I find that

Is that in discord or in game

[solemn bane]

Discord. Click the channel name in the channel and click pins on mobile, on desktop it’s the thumbtack icon. Scroll to my message and click it.

[inland sky]

Ohh okay thank you

[exotic isle]

Am i the only one who's been having a lot of trouble keeping the waste on the flatbed? ☹️

[quasi copper]

I just lost a whole pile of it because I started falling through the ground. Not into a hole, just ... into a hill.

[zenith nacelle]

Just dropped in to say that hauling garbage around and jumping out to put it back in when it falls off my cart makes me feel like Frank and Charlie from IASIP when they became trash hoarders. 10/10 update HG, no notes (now that spider legs don’t get snagged on blue crystals).

[exotic isle]

I lose it every few minutes to small unexpected hills 😥

[brittle elbow]

Check the small rocks on the ground.

[exotic isle]

I actually just went to another planet and scanned the rocks there

[neat canopy]

Did anyone already finish the chart waypoint mission, and how? Because i can't seen to find the beacons that do register

[last summit]

Idk if I didn’t read right but it seems they didn’t fix the Xbox crash issues yet?

[gleaming wind]

Any pointers for starting this expo?

[rocky fractal]

You can't until you finish the expedition though?

[rocky fractal]

Each heap and processing plant seems to have a waypoint. That's how I got most of mine.

[vague fractal]

Same. Although I swear I got credit for more waypoints than I found and I'm not sure how.

[mighty timber]

Didn't realise quitting and rejoining expedition respawns special waste even after youve loaded so I can get the right amount I need for phase 5

[mighty timber]

Whats the + and - numbers underneath tue cargo board message

Mean

[vague fractal]

So, multiplayer on this expedition seems very broken for us. The stuttering lag is the least of the weirdness.

From what I'm reading, multiplayer was stuck onto the game with wishes and spit, though, so maybe it is more a result of everyone starting on the same planet? (At the same point, as well? we all started at the same waste disposal station.)

If there were an in-between way to just play with friends, that might fix things, but the game doesn't seem to work that way.
I don't see a way, but is it possible to run this expedition from a different point, or is it all set and scripted?

[exotic isle]

It gave me access to the starship after completing one of the phases or milestones, don't remember which

[spark current]

anyone knows how often depots refresh?

my radar picks up only one of them and im missing 6 radioactives

already been there, even when i went 22 mins away from it, it was showing only that one

[hollow prism]

I think depot takes a few days to refresh.
Alternatively, you can find specialist industrial wastes amongst some industrial waste scattered around

[spark current]

Been trying and had no luck, only the red ones everywhere😭

[hollow prism]

You can do frequent scan while you traverse around, go to any random industrial waste site your scanner picked up and take a look.

[exotic isle]

When i flew to the anomaly and back it had refreshed so that might work

[mighty timber]

Anyone know?

[mighty timber]

I just load from a depot save quit reload and it respawns

[spark current]

Perfect thank you

[mighty timber]

Np

[rocky fractal]

In the current expedition it only is accessible right at the end after completing everything.

[pearl marten]

tip: when doing the expedition turn off your wifi, i dont mean playing on singleplayer i mean disconecting from your wifi

[mighty timber]

Please, if someone knows thatd be appreciated 😭

[mighty timber]

Why

[pearl marten]

the coordinates

[mighty timber]

Ohhh ok thanks

Thought it was a timer lmao

[hollow shale]

can you provide a picture?

[pearl marten]

there's a milestone of registering places, if you have no wifi every point you register will be registered so you can do it fast

[mighty timber]

I can't rn cause im at work but it was basically like
+3.89 something and then - 2.50 and the + went up and - went down

[mighty timber]

You mean the waypoints?

[hollow shale]

ok. I can't see it on mine, so I'm curious.

[pearl marten]

ye

[mighty timber]

I had no trouble with it in multiplayer

[pearl marten]

nice

[mighty timber]

Yeah it showed underneath the cargo on board number on the bottom left

[pearl marten]

if youre offline, every thing you discover will give you nanites when registered

[hollow shale]

oh now I see it!

I never noticed the location numbers.

[mighty timber]

Yeah I only noticed them today lol

[hollow shale]

🙂

[pearl marten]

pretty useful honestly, but should be more clear loll

i was trying to find the coords 0, 0 on a planet with my minotaur and i was getting inside and outside the minotaur

[dull otter]

Any tips on my first expedition?

[hollow shale]

heh I see.
I've never used co-ordinates before.

if I wanted to find something I built a base or built a base computer or save point.

[hollow shale]

RUN

seriously, this is the worst expedition ever, purely because of the hauling.

I'm on the last stage of the last part and I will NEVER haul again!

If they were trying to make people hate a mechanic, this was the way to do it.

[dull otter]

Does this hauling worth? What are the rewards?

[hollow shale]

ugh you can look up the rewards for it on their page, which is linked in the event section..

basically some customization for the big transport truck style exocraft.

Everything NOT the hauling is good.
the hauling makes me feel like screaming in the devs faces in rage.

[polar sage]

I don't MIND the hauling when it works properly, esp since the last patch. But I got nearly to my destination yesterday and fell through the earth.

[hollow shale]

every. single. bump thretens to thow everything off.
the trucks lights dont' light up anything, so you can't see at night.
even driving on an incline can cause stuff to fall out.
every ridge bucks the truck hard eough to throw out more stuff!
oh and stuff that falls out can be destroyed by rolling down hills.

😡

[polar sage]

I've learned to not go max speed unless the terrain is truly flat. Never risk launching yourself.

[hollow shale]

I'm already inching along, but the only way to fix this is to make it so we can lock the cargo into the back.
Otherwise I'll NEVER haul again!

[mighty timber]

I lost stuff to exploding 2 mins away from a deposit once

Pain and suffering

[vague fractal]

To give a different perspective, I just started playing a couple days ago, so this is not only my first expedition, it is my first experience with NMS. Because of that, maybe, I don't mind the expedition mechanics as much as many veteran players seem to. I have no point of comparison with how the rest of the game is played.
I am having fun with it. The hauling can seem tedious, I guess, but I am exploring as I go, so it is still interesting for me.
(Multiplayer is a dumpster fire for me at the moment, though, Maybe because everyone is in the same place. Solo works smoothly.)

[hollow shale]

yeah multiplayer gets worse the more people are around.

[vague fractal]

Maybe at some point we can research a blueprint for a tarp to cover the back. 😁

[hollow shale]

actually that'd make sense.
If hauling stuff in real life, we do tie stuff down.

Of course in real life we have springs and shocks on vehicles too!

[grand ingot]

this keeps happening to me in expedition

[dull otter]

Why cant you just put it on a ship

[mighty timber]

But this is gonna be the first expedition I've ever completed so I'm not gonna complain

[mighty timber]

Too easy

[obsidian zinc]

Are the mechanical legs worth using?

[mighty timber]

Yes

They can traverse considerably better

[hollow shale]

Only if you like how they look.
they do nothing for speed.

[mighty timber]

You get less bumpage

Not as harsh as it is with wheels

[hollow shale]

you sure abou tthat?
I treid them and they were exactly the same.

[obsidian zinc]

Yea, and less contact to the ground which can help with rough terrain

[mighty timber]

Yes

[tribal mural]

same

[mighty timber]

Theyre legs they're basically designed to crawl

[obsidian zinc]

I guess the suspension mods can affect the spider legs too

[hollow shale]

even if you want to play online, go into networking and set multiplayer to off.
that helps prevent some crashes.

[obsidian zinc]

I use the "drift" suspension simply for more forward grip

[hollow shale]

it's a totally visual change though >.>

[mighty timber]

It's nit just visual

Not

You notice differences

[obsidian zinc]

I doubt its even possible to drift in the colossus💀

[hollow shale]

I'll put them on again and use them for the rest of my trip back this time and give it another try.

[mighty timber]

Then again im an xbox player so idk how smooth it runs on laptop

[grand ingot]

four minutes in?

[mighty timber]

But you can definitely notice the difference with bumps and stuff

I've lost less cargo with the legs compared to the wheels

[hollow shale]

aw crap I'm on the side of ahill.

I can't build a truck deployer here. 🙁

[hollow shale]

it could also just be a placebo affect as you learn to manage the speed better.

[obsidian zinc]

Some of the small cargo literally phases through the flatbed barrier lmao

[obsidian zinc]

It definitely makes a difference since before they were bugged and got stuck extra much, which means it uses different code than the standard wheels

[hollow shale]

pider legs achieved! continuing trip....

I wish there was actually useful headlights on this truck!

can't see the holes

[gilded stratus]

How can I complete the animal scnning if I already scanned the animals?

It says I must scan from colossus, but I already scanned them all

I cannot complete the expedition as is, can there be a solution?

[harsh laurel]

upload the data

[gilded stratus]

Okay, I'll try it

[hollow shale]

goto the planet screen, select the animal and then in the new screen at the top right is an upload button.
click it

[gilded stratus]

Thank you, it was a success!

[gilded stratus]

Thank you!

[harsh laurel]

glad it helped

[hollow shale]

these legs do seem to be a bit less jerky.
doesn't stop stuff getting thrown out, though.

[mighty timber]

Throws out stuff less

[hollow shale]

more like it just doesn't throw it as far.
and oh wow i"m finally done!
That was exhausting!

[rain igloo]

is there a faster way to get here??

[ripe meteor]

How do I start the expedition

Sorry I’m new

If it’s a dumb question

[icy laurel]

Nope

[rain igloo]

create a new save normally

[thick umbra]

Game Select Screen .. New Save .. select Expedition

[rain igloo]

at the bottom theres a button for expedition

[ripe meteor]

Betttt sorry if it was a dumb question only had the game for a month

[rain igloo]

we all start somewhere

[thick umbra]

here are NO dumb questions

[ripe meteor]

What’s the reward for doing it?

[thick umbra]

may read this
#nms-announcements message

[exotic isle]

Then it's really weird that it teleported me into the starship like 3/4 of the way through it...

[obsidian zinc]

Alternatively you can use a current save and there will be a terminal in the space anomaly. You can bring back stuff from the expedition that way

[ripe meteor]

Interesting

What would I needa bring?

[thick umbra]

You can summon it if you complete everything in Phase 5

[ripe meteor]

I have most stuff people gave me a lot

[obsidian zinc]

Nothing, but you can bring back modules to your main save from there, and lots of nanites

When you finish the expedition

[ripe meteor]

Bettt

I’m sure I’ll figure it out

[obsidian zinc]

Its to the right behind the nexus btw

[exotic isle]

I hadn't, that's the funny thing

[stray needle]

man I need to finish it

[hollow shale]

how do we check if we unlocked the truck furnace?

[stray needle]

go to a the geobay

[hollow shale]

I'll take a look.
It wasn't showing up during the expedition.

[stray needle]

on the expedition save or your main save?

[ripe meteor]

How long is left on the expedition?

[obsidian zinc]

Also does special waste count towards goals if you use the auto sort machine? Ive been doing it manually anyway but would be neat to know for certain

[thick umbra]

ends 25 March 2026 15:00

[stray needle]

nope

[mighty timber]

Should be finished mine after 12-13h total playtime

[mighty timber]

Can you transfer units too

[obsidian zinc]

I think so? I mean it happens automatically

[mighty timber]

Oh hell yeah I'm poor on my main save cause its a new file and I have about 6m on my expedition file

😅

[ripe meteor]

👍

[harsh laurel]

wooh! i'm done!

[ripe meteor]

How long did it take?

[harsh laurel]

like 5 days, but just some in the evenings

[hollow shale]

main save.
I got the cabin mods I got on the expedition and the wheel mods, but nothing else.

[celest belfry]

Is there any way to scan for Waste Heaps that are closer to the Plant than Rendevous 5? I'm sick of having to drive 5ku each way for the phase 5 milestones.

[hollow shale]

that is the closest one

[harsh laurel]

nope not that i know of

[celest belfry]

😭

[stray needle]

I wish the blade on the colossus had a flatten mode

[harsh laurel]

does it have modes?

[stray needle]

no

[cinder fog]

Same tbh

[stray needle]

it's just there to collect small ammounts of resources in your path and to prevent damage apprently

[cinder fog]

Would make transporting things so much easier

[celest belfry]

The blade is useless, the amount of materials you get is not worth it.

[little frigate]

I completed all the milestones, where do get the base computer?

[lament crow]

Bah. Expedition step is bugged for me and won't complete. Submitted a bug report. Hope they can help me get it sorted out.

[cinder fog]

Really hope they update it or add more things to it

[obsidian zinc]

It makes sense for the largest exocraft to have an attachment that lets it bulldoze through obstacles, unfortunately the thing it was designed for cannot be done lol

[harsh laurel]

which one?

[obsidian zinc]

Build it

[little frigate]

No option for it

[hollow shale]

I wish it gave some decent resrouces.

[stray needle]

also why not make a vehicle size gravcoil

[lament crow]

"Auto Mechanics" : Design Colossus configurations: 0/1. I've completely redesigned the entire Colossus and nothing.

[cinder fog]

At the very least you can get geodes, but you might as well use the mining laser

[hollow shale]

which step?

[cinder fog]

You gotta save a configuration

Not just change something

[lament crow]

Have saved it several times over. And restarted game, closed game out, went back to base settings, etc.

[obsidian zinc]

Imagine a crane arm colossus with a large gravcoil on it, with filter settings to only grab one type of scrap and can grab multiple pieces at once

[harsh laurel]

you put the flatbed on? if so try to leave mp and relog

[hollow shale]

that's true. I had around 3 and a half full stacks of geodes by the end.

[stray needle]

yes

[cinder fog]

At least you don't have to worry about ferrite during the expedition

Everything else tho is a different story

[hollow shale]

I collected it all while driving anyway

[mighty timber]

Me actively ramming every tree, rock and plant in my path

[hollow shale]

it's not like there's much else to do while driving at snail speed.

[cinder fog]

True

[lament crow]

Yeah. I've tried basically every configuration possible and saved lol. Just won't progress. Here's hoping they respond to my ticket.

[obsidian zinc]

In my main save i will ignore fuel effeciency for the Colossus and go all out in top speed lol

Its just organic anyway, no one cares about colossus fuel costs

[cinder fog]

That's fair, plus Daedalus engine thing

[harsh laurel]

sorry i couldnt help

[lament crow]

All good! I appreciate it regardless!

[obsidian zinc]

When i finish the expedition, i will gut the Colossus for any good modules and bring them with me

[hollow shale]

I didn't have any time to leave it sitting around, so the daedelus upgrade didn't have time to acctually do much of anything this expedition.

[cinder fog]

That's fair enough

[harsh laurel]

daedelus?

[cinder fog]

Expeditions long enough anyways

[hollow shale]

oh darn I should've thought of that.
I was just so happy to have it over, I didn't even think of taking mods off it. 😮

[hollow shale]

the free energy/fuel recharger.

[harsh laurel]

ohhhh

[obsidian zinc]

Its basically solar power for an engine that runs off carbon

[hollow shale]

on normal game mode, you get out of the vehicle while doing stuff a lot and the vehicle sits around, so the battery charges up during the day.

But during this expedition you travel almost constantly, so no time for it to charge.

[obsidian zinc]

Oh does it only charge when you are not in it? Doesn't matter since i ran over like 400 trees

[lament crow]

Heeeeeeeellllll yeah. Quest just update. GG, Hello Games!

[harsh laurel]

my fav part of this expedition was rerouting sentinels, and collecting gravitinos

[hollow shale]

I mean I think it works constantly, but the amount is low compared to the amount the truck uses.

and yeah I had plenty of carbon from trees and plants too

[hollow shale]

reroute them? what's that mean?

[obsidian zinc]

Toss them around with the grav gun

[harsh laurel]

i may have the wrong word, but grav gun grab n toss

[hollow shale]

Oh I see.

I tried to use that to smash them into each other, but they never fly far enough to actually hit each other. 🙁

they go like 2 meteres, then recover mid-air

[thick umbra]

hmm ... a new challenge

[harsh laurel]

how did you get tracks?

[thick umbra]

from exp21

[harsh laurel]

didnt see them

[thick umbra]

50 toxic waste processed

[stray needle]

finally finished the waypoints one

[harsh laurel]

didnt see that either lol

[harsh laurel]

nice!

[thick umbra]

its one of the mission in exp21

same for explosiv and radioactive

[hollow shale]

are those half tracks or full tracks?

[harsh laurel]

i finished the exp 21 just dont remember that ty though

[vague fractal]

For the farther waste heaps, I was usually able to find a plant closer to them where I could take the junk. Rather than going all the way back. I'm not to 5 yet, though.
