nms-expedition

[tender tusk]

There is a recovery for that milestone in the latest 6.23 patch that is out on most platforms; I can't personally attest to it since I haven't done a second expedition run

[fleet field]

It works 🫡

I just got on and tried it

[cobalt shore]

I love how literally one of the quests is to kill animals /s

[jagged spruce]

I just realized the number was probably intentional

[solemn bane]

Well, it's optional, lol.

[cobalt shore]

Oh

Is Hello Games going to send my IP adress to PETA now? 😶

[cobalt shore]

Also, very fun occurrence, when you're collecting waste for one of the quests and you've collected a lot of waste (including some valuable stuff) in your colossus but you're on a mountain and a starship flies over very lowly and joinks all of your stuff out of the flat bed 🤣

[vague fractal]

Trying to drive around without killing any creatures would be the biggest challenge of the expedition. I had that milestone complete before I knew it existed. 😏

This would be such a great addition to the game if it can be done.
I am playing with a friend tomorrow and the plan, before I saw how multiplayer works for this, was to group up. It is probably going to have to be playing "together" with mp off.

[rough mortar]

Bro did people seriously build bases all of the fricking planet to prevent people from building an exo craft??

wtf!

I can't even place an exocraft down not even one

[solemn bane]

Place it at the starting waste processing plant, or go offline and walk far away.

[rough mortar]

bro I already went hella far in just trying to place it down. I don't even know where the waste processing plant is anymore😭

Ima fight everyone now for making bases

[solemn bane]

Should still be a crane icon on your horizon.

[daring briar]

This EXP is a POS .. look at this crap .. devs really dropped the ball on this .. https://app.screencast.com/x63TvN6IAWbUL

[solemn bane]

They didn't drop the ball, it randomly flew out of their hands when another ball was placed next to it.

[daring briar]

its garbage

EXP - Breach is the beginning of the end for NMS unless they get their act together

[tender tusk]

I wonder if it's due to loading in since that's always been a issue in NMS and that you need to be somewhere more flat or known to not drop you through the ground.

I usually drop through stations when teleleporting have have to reload my autosave

[solemn bane]

lol. Not having their act together has been a cornerstone of HG since the beginning.

[solemn bane]

Loading + slope + physics from objects touching one another. Three things NMS has always had trouble with.

[daring briar]

well its reached a new level

[solemn bane]

It's the same level, it's just that this expedition highlights issues that nms has always had.

[solemn bane]

Oh and adding multiplayer, another long-standing problem in NMS, adds to the nightmarishness. Again, none of this is new, but cramming it altogether in one expedition has really forced people to see the deficiencies of all these elements at the same time, and each one amplifies the other.

[tender tusk]

You think HG is going to some how improve Multiplayer and test it on NMS before making it work on LNF?

[tribal condor]

my tinfoil hat theory is that's exactly why we got this expedition

[solemn bane]

I don't see how it could be worse to be honest. The things that would improve NMS are almost all complete rewrites, which is what they get to do with LNF. I am 100% sure they know about all the issues in NMS, but it is SO much work to go back and fix major features like multiplayer they probably simply do not have the resources.

Adding little bullshit features like waste recycling is "easy" in comparison.

[solemn bane]

Expeditions are also such an easy win. It's like 99% recycled content, but still somehow fun (mostly). So they can keep people engaged with relatively little effort while they work on bigger stuff.

[waxen kayak]

Am I the only one with sometimes, the Colossus exocraft completely going crazy, sinking in the floor and unloading the crates before spining on itself ? It's driving me crazy trying to really slowly bringing back the crates to just loose everything for that reason !

[solemn bane]

Nope.

[waxen kayak]

ok, so a bug... I'll wait for a fix then! thank you very much!

[solemn bane]

Uh, I wouldn't hold my breath on a fix for NMS physics, lol.

[waxen kayak]

argh, damn then 😢

[solemn bane]

It's not beyond reason, but when I saw there was a driving/hauling expedition I literally checked my calendar because I thought it was April 1st, since NMS physics has always been hilariously busted.

[waxen kayak]

yeah but it never was really such a problem... until indeed they decided to make us drive a colossus full of crates...

ok, will try to do more save to at least be able to reload !

[solemn bane]

Right, it wasn't a problem because they generally avoided doing physics-heavy stuff. This time they drove head-on into the problem, so it's very pronounced. Nothing new, just very obvious given the tasks.

[solemn bane]

Just don't reload with your colossus on a slope, lol.

[waxen kayak]

oh yeah... not the best idea indeed 😉

[vague fractal]

Is this a bigger problem on some platforms than on others? I feel lucky that I haven't run into anything major yet.

[solemn bane]

100%. More about hardware and probably graphical settings, and multiplayer probably makes it worse. Also the type of terrain seems to make a difference, but not in ways that you would think. I found a pretty smooth planet and I couldn't go an inch without blasting all my waste out, but somehow the expedition planet was kind of ok.

Oh and of course the more waste you have, the more chances there are for random physics bugs, so lighter loads will probably be less frustrating.

I went to one waste site and just decided to pile as much waste as possible in my collosus. By the end I was seeing waste randomly rotating and the collosus just starting moving on its own.

[tender tusk]

I've had the colossus just zoom off when i carefully put a waste container in but maybe i held it a bit too long but as it was fairly full; still hilarious in a way even though i have to go and redo it a bit

[solemn bane]

I've got a pretty good collection of funny physics from this channel. I get excited whenever a new video is posted, lol.

[latent owl]

finished the exp for a second time on my pd save, having the mecha legs was definitely an improvement

[civic forge]

Do wear does these other special waste show up. All I see is green waste?

[solemn bane]

All the Waste Heap locations that you can scan for should have them. You may need to dig around some to see them.

[hushed ravine]

so how are you meant to get the materials to build the gravatino coil

since unless I'm blind you don't start with the personal refiner unlocked?

[solemn bane]

You are blind.

[solemn bane]

Check your tech inventory

[hushed ravine]

oh

lol

thanks

[solemn bane]

Also, you were looking for the Portable Refiner. The Personal Refiner is the one in the inventory, so I thought you were checking there 😆

[indigo falcon]

same

[hushed ravine]

oh, lol

did they update the icon for that?

[fickle ferry]

is the road signs fixed? because i just got another one so I got 2 out of 6

[solemn bane]

I tried the latest patch yesterday and it didn't seem fixed. My advice is to wait until you get your ship at/near the end of Phase 5, then you can do it much more easily even with it being hit or miss.

[fickle ferry]

welp I have found to work for me to progress it is save and reload then do it then save and reload for the next one but that's going to take time

[civic forge]

Dig around what?

[waxen kayak]

I started the expedition a few hour ago, offline/no multiplayer, and all the waypoints I activated were registred.
But now I fighting the physic to manage to drive that f...g Colossus back with its crate still on it... god, one of the worse expedition for me so far 😢

[solemn bane]

That was my experience as well. However from what I have gathered from everyone else, it seems like disabling multiplayer after you start the expedition doesn't seem to help. So I assume of they're bugged they stay bugged.

When I tested it online with multiplayer on, the first waypoint didn't register, but the second one did 🤷‍♂️

[waxen kayak]

oh yeah, I went offline before starting the expedition, from the Anomaly

[hushed ravine]

anyone else have their starship spawn really far away from the spawn?

[balmy pagoda]

On stage 5 can we search for toxic, volatile, explosive waste with the scanner or are they only at waste heaps?

[solemn bane]

It's broken and you can't repair it. It'll get fixed and unlocked after Phase 5 and you can summon it.

[solemn bane]

Just waste heaps, unfortunately.

[hushed ravine]

wait so how do I get parrafinium? (spelt that wrong 100% but heck it?

[solemn bane]

Pyrite and ferrite

[hushed ravine]

thanks

[quartz ocean]

Anyone got real scared when getting a Hostile Attack Vector?

[balmy pagoda]

Ahh OK I thought I came across a radioactive one in the wild but it wasn't marked and I already had that milestone so I didn't get it.

[hushed ravine]

btw did give into the intrusive thoughts and jump into the furnace

no regrets

[quartz ocean]

Not just the big waste heaps tho, the little spots too.

[solemn bane]

Can't scan for those.

[solemn bane]

Oh, I may have read your question wrong, I thought it was about scanning. If not, then yes they can show up in the random piles from time to time.

[indigo falcon]

I got hit by those bleepers, did not quite die but close

[quartz ocean]

I prefered the small piles when I was only missing 2 of each type.

[balmy pagoda]

Yeah I meant with the colossus scanner, but when out of the colossus and ucing the scanner and visor it doesnt seem to pick any waste up

[quartz ocean]

Lol, I thought they would make my entire stack of explosive waste... You know... Explode.

[solemn bane]

Yeah, your visor will just see "waste" regardless of type.

[indigo falcon]

I mean, they have been reported to destroy a lot of the items for some players

that is the exception though, most of the time it's just annoyance

[rapid elm]

are you supposed to be able to find your ship

[indigo falcon]

no

ship is not used at all and cannot be repaired until you are done

(and then you just call it in, it's not broken)

[quartz ocean]

Also for some reason I decided to fight a sentinel walker with my pulse splitter.

[rapid elm]

well uh
i just found it

lyin around in the desert

[indigo falcon]

I shot my 8 sentinels with a naked boltcaster because I missed collecting petrology until I'd finished all the milestones

[quartz ocean]

You can find it, but nothing will be repairable

[rapid elm]

yea i found that out

[indigo falcon]

sure, you can stumble acros it, but you can't repair it

[rapid elm]

salvaged what i could from it

[indigo falcon]

you'll want to be able to fly it later, if you started the expd from an existing save

and if it's from a new save, the same actually

[solemn bane]

FYI it unlocks and is repaired after Phase 5 is completed and you claim the reward, so you can get it ahead of completely finishing the expedition since you can jump ahead (if you're on a very old patch then you can get it after completing the last milestone in Phase 5 instead).

[indigo falcon]

I assume you will need to have visted all 5 waste heaps for that, or can you do one out of order?

[solemn bane]

This mostly matters if your waypoint milestone is bugged, since the ship makes it easier to complete.

[solemn bane]

You can do that before doing the other milestones, yes. Note in the pinned comment.

[indigo falcon]

nice!

[flint ledge]

I can restart expeditions? I’m glad that the waypoints bug was fixed but it may take over an hour to find a new sector of locations and it might just be easier to restart

[indigo falcon]

you cannot. youcan start again from a new save if you wish

[hushed ravine]

wow the sentinals are utterly enamored by the flatbed

[solemn bane]

Finish Phase 5, collect the reward, get your ship, go to another planet and you should have plenty of poi's you can scan for with your collosus.

Also on PC there is a way to restart an expedition but it's a little hacky.

[rapid elm]

i'm assuming you can also use that to get the grabbing sentinels one

because i may or may not have obliterated all the sentinels with a flamethrower without ***ROTAT E***ing them first

[solemn bane]

You can just relog to get sentinels back

[hushed ravine]

so is there a benefit for auto sorting waste myself instead of using the auto sort thing?

[solemn bane]

Auto sort gives you no credit for milestones.

[hushed ravine]

so autosort is just nanites?

nothing else?

[solemn bane]

Yeah. All 10 of them.

[hushed ravine]

any milestones require me to use the auto sort?

[solemn bane]

Yeah like the second or third one I think

[hushed ravine]

think this one had me use the auto sort?

[solemn bane]

That one you just shoot a load into the... wait let me start over. You just repell a piece of waste into the processor.

[hushed ravine]

if one breaks and causes a chain reaction that destorys everhting that's gonna be funny

[quick urchin]

YO TRUE😭😭😭

I never thought about that

[fickle ferry]

look what I just askadently came across in the sysetums sapce

[civic forge]

What was the 2 elements to make paraffinium?

[terse gust]

I forgot where the current expedition took place

[indigo falcon]

game hint should tell you, but pyrite and ferrite dust combined will do it

[balmy pagoda]

They should also put it in the Catalogue & guide section when you select the Paraffinium, since the game hint doesn't always pop up

[indigo falcon]

you can cycle through the game hints by left d-pad on c ontroller or... the equiv on pc (not sure what keys because I play on console)

the other good resource is the wiki, i.e. https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Paraffinium#Source

I don't recommend the oxy + silver one because it's easier to get ferrite dust in bulk than oxy

[solemn bane]

Well, also ain't like there's a bunch of silver deposists

[indigo falcon]

some people have gotten silver from the minerals in caves , I guess it's a secondary

I don't see how they get enough, but some do

[solemn bane]

Anyway yeah I always just google "nms [material name]" and look up the mixes.

[indigo falcon]

that works too

except for the one expedition where they changed things on us with new recipes

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1d3d90i/how_am_i_supposed_to_get_deuterium_for_the_new/ that one, heh

[solemn bane]

Didn't even realize that was new, just assumed I didn't know about it

[royal jetty]

Ok how do i get toxic waste I went to all the waste heaps and I can't get back there. Iooked at a number of the random piles and nothing there. Where do I get them or how can I re-visit old ones?

[indigo falcon]

adrift, that was the one. might be in my top 3 expeditions, loved it a lot

[sharp gorge]

"Double-tooting the Colossus horn while parked at a Waste Processing Plant valuation scale will initiate the control panel interaction."
wish I knew that

[indigo falcon]

you can go to a new waste heap by scanning for them, it might be a ways off though

revisiting old ones won't help you if you already cleared out all the toxic waste from them, the special waste does not respawn, as I understand it

[solemn bane]

If you only need one kind, it will become the rarest kind on the planet.

[vague fractal]

Also, do not have multiplayer turned on. Don't let anyone steal your toxic waste.

[indigo falcon]

there is apparently a setting if you do have mp on, that allows other players to access your bed contents, you can set it to friends only or just turn it off

(I do not have mp so I can't check that)

but mp off is better generally, for this expd.

[stone torrent]

how come rrandom npcs start shooting at me from their ships 🥀

[solemn bane]

Because bad physics and poor driving controls wasn't enough of a pain in the ass.

[indigo falcon]

pirates. drive on

[royal jetty]

It keeps pointing to the same one

[indigo falcon]

if you're worried they might hit you (and your cargo), drop a save beacon/point, save-exit-reload and they'll be gone

[indigo falcon]

and that one has none left?

[royal jetty]

just bunch of useless junk

[indigo falcon]

what milestone is selected, if any?

and, if you're right at that waste heap and scan again, do you get a new icon?

it should not be the rendezvous icon if you've been to all of those, it should be a uh

[stone torrent]

any tips for not losing all my junk when driving around in the space truck

[solemn bane]

If this were a regular save, you would. But on this expedition, you don't. This is why I recommend the save beacon.

[indigo falcon]

well it's white and lumpy, I'm sorry but I'm not i the game right now to describe it better, heh

[solemn bane]

Small load, take it slow, plan your course to avoid bullshit.

[royal jetty]

when do I get the legs (idk what they are called

[indigo falcon]

I put down only one layer, go slow, if approaching any abrupt ridge I take it even slower, hit hazardous plants head on and not on the edge

[solemn bane]

I think it's a phase reward, so you can look at those

[indigo falcon]

end of phase 4

[solemn bane]

4, apparently

[royal jetty]

ok thx

[stone torrent]

should i auto recycle or manually do it

[solemn bane]

Manual, unless the milestone tells you to use the auto recycler

[indigo falcon]

there is exactly one milestone which requires auto. the rest, Do Not, you will not have progress counted and then be short those pieces

and it will suck.

I kinda feel like they could have really loaded up r5 with a bunch of pieces for everyone who lost some en route or autosorted or tossed a few pieces in the wrong incinerator... or had pirates or players destroy them

sigh

[solemn bane]

I feel like there is a very long list of things they could have done.

[indigo falcon]

lolol

earlier today I saw a streamer not usualy known for foul language explode into a stringof cussing... and swear they would never touch this expedition again, it was pretty funny (but also tragic)

[solemn bane]

I need this.

[indigo falcon]

well lemme find it and the point where it begins....

[solemn bane]

I watched a few of those "finish this expedition quickly" videos on youtube and there is definitely plenty of shade in them, but I want some rage, lol.

[royal jetty]

how do I stop that spot from showing up?

[solemn bane]

You don't.

[royal jetty]

how can I find a new waste heap?

[indigo falcon]

dm sent

[solemn bane]

Luck, but mostly you don't. You either need to look in small piles or get rid of all the junk at the heap your're at and hope it respawns better

[solemn bane]

Ha haaa, yes

[indigo falcon]

you gotta keep watching

you think you see it and then... there's more

[solemn bane]

Mostly I'm amazed this dude was hitting the boosters without instantly losing all his shit

[indigo falcon]

there's a point later where someone is saying he might want to slow down and he just loses it "it's a speed run, and I'm supposed to go slow?!" etc

no shade, he obviously just got to the fed up point, we've all been there but

it was pretty spectacular

(he does do another run, after saying he wouldn't)

[solemn bane]

If you hurry it, it takes longer

[indigo falcon]

EXACTLY THIS.

anyways, enjoy the swears 😄

[solemn bane]

Also love that I just said

If you only need one kind, it will become the rarest kind on the planet.

[indigo falcon]

EXACTLY THIS (again)

[solemn bane]

This was basically the last hour of my run. I needed two of one thing, and the last one felt impossible to find. I figured I would just check the small piles rather than going to the heap since it was 12 minutes away, and when I finally found what I needed, the processing plant was 30 minutes away.

[indigo falcon]

ooowwww

my run was: heap 1, return. heap 2, return. heaps 3 + 4, return. heap 5, return and just barely got enough toxic to complete

[solemn bane]

This is why I could never be a speedrunner. Pain.

[royal jetty]

Without cheating, I have to finish everything to get off this planet to get back to main save?

[solemn bane]

Nah you can flip back in the pause menu whenever

[royal jetty]

Does anyone actually enjoy this?

[indigo falcon]

lolol

[solemn bane]

Only sickos and freaks.

[indigo falcon]

yes, some players do like it, I've read their posts. I don't hate it, but it won't become one of my primary pasttimes or anything

fishing otoh, I like a lot and it's a great "let's take a chill break in nms" activity

but I also don't really go for races or trucking simiulators or all that; fun to watch but not my style to play

[real pier]

I had 15 special waste in my truck. Then I clipped into the ground and only 1 didn't glitch out 😭

[indigo falcon]

oh man

I hope hope hope you filed a bug report, if not please do

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[indigo falcon]

I lost a couple regular waste to glitching into the ground, after that I got very careful about placement. but I did not encounter the "exocraft sinks int othe ground" bug I've seen video of

[solemn bane]

And in case you need some proof, someone posted this earlier. lol.

[indigo falcon]

ah you're collecting aren't you

I hope you've been stalking reddit, some good ones there too

[solemn bane]

Oh you know it

[indigo falcon]

(I still have that streamer replay going in the background, the audio alone is still making me laugh)

[solemn bane]

I'm only looking here. If I go on reddit I'll fill my hard drive up.

Someone joked they shoulkd change the subreddit to r/NMSDashCams

[indigo falcon]

at this point. that and "noone reads the previous two posts before posting"

because like every third one is "has anyone else had this issue" (with crap jumping out of th flatbed)

[solemn bane]

Yeah, I went on the subreddit's /new page and answered questions for a while then reddit shadowbanned me.

(Back during Corvette)

[indigo falcon]

dang!

I've been more active on there in the past but sometimes I see a few struggling souls that need an assist

or just reassurance that it doesn't all suck, heh

[stone torrent]

why are there so many holes in the ground that lead to caves

why must they all fit the colossus

[indigo falcon]

probably to make the trip even more treacherous than it would otherwise be

[stone torrent]

it's bad enough i neeed to sit and drive for so long 🥀

[indigo falcon]

I got it to not be monotonous by doing bits at a time: go to one site, load up, return, then save and exit... next work break, do another, and so on

I get that's not everyone's preferred mode of play

[stone torrent]

playing nms in small bursts helps

but having to do the roadsign achievement 😔

[indigo falcon]

I was with mp off so I did not have an issue with the waypoints

[stone torrent]

i never have MP on unless I'm required :/

[indigo falcon]

good choice

my natural reflex when I see a waypoint is always to claim it so, base camp, the waste heaps, and also a shelter and some other thing... had more than I needed

[knotty sequoia]

Does anyone know the coordinates for the second rendezvous point?

[indigo falcon]

I'm sorry but I don't think anyone has recorded those

[knotty sequoia]

It's all good! I found it with the exocraft scanner! I'm still getting used to playing on PC, though that wouldn't have stopped me from forgetting I could do that

[indigo falcon]

ah good, glad you could get it to show up

[knotty sequoia]

Yeye, thanks

[stone torrent]

my colossus keeps clipping into the ground and throwing my salvage everywhere 😔

[indigo falcon]

you can try dropping a savebeacon/save point every so often and reload if you run into the clipping bug, not a fix but could make things a little less awful

[stone torrent]

does it matter if i use half tires half tracks over all tires? i dont have the spider legs

[indigo falcon]

I don't know if one gives more stability than the other, only that te legs are generally better

[gaunt ridge]

am i lucky

[indigo falcon]

dunno until you get done!

[gaunt ridge]

just asking because i've seen some people who had to drive over an hour

[indigo falcon]

oh. no, 12 mins is about right for checkpoint 5

but some people did not get all the waste they needed, and had to go drive around after looking for it

[stone torrent]

i'm walking around looking for that one unique mineral because i'm stuck at 7/8 and i've checked caves

[indigo falcon]

dark patches of earth, there's at least one pebble looking thing

don't forget the one that looks like a tree also

[stone torrent]

the rock tree?

[indigo falcon]

oh you gotthat noe

then yeah it's likely the pebble

[stone torrent]

"That one tree that your truck can't run over"

[indigo falcon]

rock tree, smallboulder named "big rock", big rock that needs adv mining laser, two in the cave, one with two pillars that gives ferrite dust, the tall pointy one, and then the pebble in dark patches = 8

find a dark trench, it will have the rock for sure

[stone torrent]

i think the pebble in dark patches might be the one i missed if it's not found everywhere

[indigo falcon]

it's only in those

you know how dark patches often have tiny rocks you only find there. true also on this expd

[glossy valley]

on the expedition planet even my group mate is glitchy and porting around to me. that normal?

[indigo falcon]

not really

but mp in nms is kind of flaky at best

oh if you have mp on, do yourself a favour. 1) pvp off. 2) check settings for access to the exocraft bed, turn those off too

[glossy valley]

ive never seen it so bad i cant play with my wife. we're lag bouncing around to each other

[indigo falcon]

ouch

[solemn bane]

lol yeah that's what I saw. Everyone was warping around like monkeys on crack, and collosuses were just flying all over the place

Reminded me of the days of dial up modem games

[slim elm]

How do we unlock the flatbed for colossus after exp?

[solemn bane]

Go to a planet that says Salvageable Scrap, use your colosus to scan for a waste processing plant, interact with the console to get the grav gun plans, then do some stuff and recycle one waste, which will unlock it.

[slim elm]

Awesome, thanks

[glossy valley]

im getting it saying no edit permission to build a truck bay. any idea?

[hushed ravine]

And that's another expedition done and dusted

twas kinda fun having a one planet ex[edition

[solemn bane]

Go to the starting processing plant and put it there, or go offline and walk far away from where you were.

[glossy valley]

how do i find the plant? its not on my scanner

[solemn bane]

Should be on your horizon. It's an icon of a crane.

[glossy valley]

yeah i dont see that

[solemn bane]

Should look like this

[glossy valley]

yeah. i see a trading post but nothging else

no matter where i go it says edit permission stuff

[solemn bane]

Looks like you'll have to do option 2

[indigo falcon]

you can try reporting bases via the quick menu (no need to see bbase computer) if there is anything to report, and once ther eis nothing, try again. dunnon if that will work

[solemn bane]

Doesn't work anymore. Guess HG didn't like people actually being able to build stuff.

[glossy valley]

i can do the offline. ty

[indigo falcon]

well that's fine but they could let people report sh... stuff. grrrr

[solemn bane]

wtf, I can see the trading post too

[indigo falcon]

where are you? starting point?

[solemn bane]

Yep, started a new game to make sure I wasn't talking out of my ass.

1. Definitely can't report bases to remove them still
2. I can definitely see the icon for the waste processing plant (crane in the middle)

[indigo falcon]

uh where's the trading post then?

[solemn bane]

And I just walked 10 minutes away from the plant and I can still see it, so I'm pretty sure my advice is sound ;p

[indigo falcon]

you didn't scanfor that I don't suppose

[solemn bane]

Nope, it was on my horizon at the start of the expedition, same with the plant

[indigo falcon]

that is the most bizarre thing ever

final q: mp off I presume?

[solemn bane]

On, I'm making sure my advice works with the lowest common denominator

[indigo falcon]

right

ove a week in and there's still these expedition-breaking bugs

[solemn bane]

And they were ones that were "fixed" lol

[indigo falcon]

mm hmm

not too impressed

[gleaming wind]

Do the different running gears for the Colossus offer any different benefits other than looking cool?

[solemn bane]

If they do I couldn't tell, aside from spider legs which actually seem a lot more stable

[gleaming wind]

I ask coz, even though it's difficult to tell, it seems like the spider legs actually offer better climbing over mountainous surfaces

[indigo falcon]

the legs do seem to be better indeed

it would be nice to verify that somehow from the game files

[gleaming wind]

Crazy seeing the Colossus reach speeds of 95 ku/h

[indigo falcon]

I wouldn't know, I never put the speed upgrades on 😄

[solemn bane]

I was definitely hitting 116 or more with super charged s tier upgrades during dashes

[thick umbra]

Thats to funny .. turn on the light at a waypoint counts as a mission waypoint ... although its not in my discoveries 🙂

[indigo falcon]

in addition to the save at the waypoint?

[thick umbra]

Yeah if I later use the Save than its ofc in my discoverie list 🙂

[indigo falcon]

hg... what can I say

[thick umbra]

It seems that we always start at the same Industrial Plant

[indigo falcon]

that is I think true

[heavy parrot]

In the expedition, the first mission of phase 5 is to scan the planet's fauna; I need to scan 6. Currently, the mission shows I'm at 0/6, but the problem is that I've already scanned all the fauna. I already have 6/6 in the discoveries section. What should I do?

[solemn bane]

In the discoveries tab, click the fauna and register them on the right

[blissful phoenix]

I need help leaving Calypso. I'm at the last system before Galaxy Core, but I can't ware to Core and I'm stuck

[solemn bane]

Sounds vaguely familiar. Are you playing The Blighted?

[heavy parrot]

Alr, tysm!!!

[blissful phoenix]

WTF is the Blighted?? I'm at full mission completion, all resources stacked, can't warp

[solemn bane]

This is the channel to talk about expeditions. If you're not playing one, I'd recommend #nms-questions

Unless you are talking about this expedition, in which case there was no warping involved

[patent dove]

If you are playing the current expedition there is no need to warp, just summon the anomoly and complete at the terminal

(Unlike normal this expedition does not require warping to access the anomoly)

[blissful phoenix]

Okay, expeditions. REMNANT IS GARBAGE. NMS IS ABOUT EXPLORATION AND THE UNIVERSES; REMNANT IS ABOUT PROCESSING TRASH AND GARBAGE. MAKE-IT-MAKE-SENSE.

[patent dove]

What's the point of having fully rendered planets if there's nothing to do on them?

If you dont want to engage with the scrap mechanic, dont

The expeditions are and will continue to be how they showcase new features,

[ionic walrus]

is the expedition over

i dont see the button to join expedition

[solemn bane]

Try clicking Play

[indigo falcon]

it's running all right

almost 5 weeks left I think

anyways I'm off for the night, hope we have no new bugz

[patent dove]

Play, and its one of the options for a new game, or you can join from an existing save through the anomoly

[last sluice]

how do i join my friend? we are on psn

[patent dove]

In the expedition or not?

[last sluice]

yes in the expedition

[patent dove]

Back out to the main menu, join friends. If you both have started the expedition it may act up

[jagged spruce]

what expeditions are gonna return?

I wanna play breach but idk if they'll re-run it

[fringe agate]

You are playing a game where robots lay eggs and cakes make us fly longer asking about sense?

Sorry, fresh out

[quick urchin]

I just finished the expedition

🎉

[patent dove]

Breach litteraly just reran like 2 months ago

[jagged spruce]

so are they gonna rerun it again?

[patent dove]

They may do a rerun of all expeditions so far this year specifically for the anniversary, but thats not confirmed. Usually, (with the exception of Beachhead) expeditions are only run once, then reduxed (reran) at the end of that year

Beachhead has become a yearly rerun that typically kicks off the redux season

[jagged spruce]

welp if they don't re-run it I could always run it offline

[patent dove]

Yeah, thats deffinietly an option for pc players to experience them, and I encourage it. Honestly, I am hoping that for the anniversary this year theyll rerun everything

[jagged spruce]

yea FOMO kinda sucks

[patent dove]

If you just want the rewards from any expedition, there is the service bot, or asking other players. But the experience is deffinietly a big part of it for..... most expeditions

[last sluice]

please tell me there is a way to trade materials between players

[patent dove]

There is! You can send items to any player in the same instance as you as long as youre in range

The Anomoly is a great place for things like that, since most players have access to it, and it tends to group friends in the same instance

Heck, veterans will often give out surplus items to players in the anomoly just for fun

[fringe agate]

Congrats 🥳

[quick urchin]

😁

[gaunt ridge]

when do you unlock the base computer

WHERE THE FUCK DID ALL MY CARGO GO

I HAD 6 PIECES

this is bullshit, im not driving another 30 fucking minute round trip for one single fucking piece of trash

[vague fractal]

Purely hypothetical question (because I would, of course, never do something this silly):
If you agreed to do a multiplayer livestream of the expedition before actually testing multiplayer in the expedition and learning it is more hazardous than the waste...are there any ways to mitigate the disasterous lag and still make expedition progress? 😏

[gaunt ridge]

fuck this game and fuck this expedition

[last sluice]

me with literally any minor inconvenience

[vague fractal]

Keep an eye on it as you go. Drive carefully, Avoid clipping the side of hazardous plants.
(And maybe take a break for blood pressure reasons first 😁 )

[gaunt ridge]

all i did was load a save

[last sluice]

although, id retrace your steps as cargo will fall off constantly if you go over ANY bump

then thats probably why

[gaunt ridge]

i loaded up a restore point and they fucking vanished

[last sluice]

brother, chill. its a game.

just go grab another 6 pieces

[vague fractal]

Ah, yeah. Reloading a save will bounce some out of the truck. It may still be nearby.

[last sluice]

the fact youre this angry is sad

[cobalt shore]

Wow. Don't throw insults

[vague fractal]

Break from the game (and the internet) definitely needed. Snack time?

[gaunt ridge]

sorry, i've had a bad day

[last sluice]

doesnt excuse the behavior tbr

but, keep in mind that this game is made for you to take youre time it used to take genuine hours to cross short distances on planets let alone the 3+ hour ship rides to another planet or space station

from my pov, a 30 minute trip to grab resources isnt bad in the slightest. just sounds like some vibe time

[gaunt ridge]

just found this in a pile of normal trash

seems like the hand of god felt bad for me

now how the hell do i get my ship so i can get off this godforsaken planet

[obsidian zinc]

After you collect the 5th stage reward the ship icon should appear. Also remember to store the Colossus upgrades and bring them with you if you so desire

[fringe agate]

@gaunt ridge I understand being frustrated, but remain civil here. We are just players like you, no need to vent the frustration this way.

[gaunt ridge]

you mean i have to finish all these first?

[obsidian zinc]

Basically you gotta complete the final phase of the expedition and then the ship icon will show up

[gaunt ridge]

well thats useless

[obsidian zinc]

The ship is basically only to get to the space anomaly

[gaunt ridge]

so i still have to traverse this shitty planet for the rest

and get trash from waste heaps even further away

[obsidian zinc]

Idk, my waste heaps were typically like 10 minutes away

[vague fractal]

It has been a source of amazement for me all week that I, as a brand new player, had very little trouble with this expedition (outside of multiplayer), but some veteran players are breaking out the flamethrowers to burn it down to ash. 🤔
All I can think is that the rest of NMS outside of the expedition is so amazing that this little part of it is below the lowest bar set by anything else. Which, I guess, is a good sign for my future with the game.

[gaunt ridge]

this game is amazing, but this whole mechanic of ferrying cargo on a vehicle with an open top, and physics that make the heavy metal barrels feel like ping pong balls is beyond horrid

[patent dove]

Lots of people with set views of the game really hate that this expedition breaks entirely from the usual rinse and repeat, and focuses entirely on planetside stuff. It is also extreamly buggy, as physics tend to be

Trust me, as with everything in this game, the cargo physics will get better in time

[gaunt ridge]

roblox handles truck and cargo physics better than this

[cobalt shore]

I must say I love the planet where the expedition takes place. It's a very nice landscape. I feel like this update encourages players (at least me) to stick around and explore planets more because now you have a motivation to do so. And when exploring the planet on foot or with your exocraft you see more of it and start to appreciate the planet and it's beauty more.

[gaunt ridge]

not even a joke

[patent dove]

Corvettes were basicaly unusable when they first dropped

[gaunt ridge]

corvettes weren't even close to being this buggy

[patent dove]

....... I havent had cargo crash my game and require a console restart to fix yet

[gaunt ridge]

and the corvette expedition was actually enjoyable instead of mental torture

[patent dove]

I agree the expedition could have been a bit better thought out

[gaunt ridge]

a bit?

[vague fractal]

This is the first planet I've really explored and I have found all sorts of interesting little things. The only conflict with my typical gameplay might be that I want to find ALL the plants/creatures/minerals and I've been told that such completionism will bite me down the road when I may need to spend days looking for one little thing. 😆

[patent dove]

18 minute one way drives was a bit much, and making the planet one giant mountain range was a bit cruel, but the milestones make sense, there is a cohesive theme, and while yes it does break from the mold the actual content of the expedition isnt that bad, its just the mechanics and distance that are hard

[patent dove]

There's a reason only the creatures have a counter..... please dont get too caught up in compleatonism

[vague fractal]

I guess for this expedition I saw the physics challenges AS the gameplay. Otherwise, it is just "drive here, get that, drive back, done".

[cobalt shore]

Yeah. At first you were just completing a list and then leave the planet to move on to the next and now you're really exploring it in depth. I hope future updates will motivate us more to explore individual planets. This update might be small, but I feel like it introduced a new mechanic for a bigger update that will follow later on.

[vague fractal]

Yeah, that is the warning I have from almost everyone. I'll probably need to experience the pain a bit to really have it sink in.

[patent dove]

The scrap mechanic deffinietly seems to indicate a bigger focus on future planetside updates and mechanics yes

Which, I can see why the community is divided. A lot of people only view NMS as a space sim.... and thats not what it really is.

Yes, you can make ships and fly across the stars and all that, but you can also find a planet, settle down, build something for yourself. And this new scrap mechanic gives that type of player something new to do beyond just exploring, which I think is great

And to be fair, id rather have 15 minute drives that actually teach me the mechanic then scavenging a derelict freighter and fishing for absolutley no reason

stares at breach

[cobalt shore]

And sometimes you discover stuff on the go when you drive around. I once spotted a Sentinel Pillar when travelling across the expedition planet.

Stuff I normally don't really find out in the wild.

I should have marked it

[vague fractal]

That is exactly what happened to me. Plus, watching some streams of the expedition, I think the exploration outside of just focussing on the milestones helped me. I found the special scrap along the way, so had plenty for the milestones in the final phase.

[obsidian zinc]

I hope there will be more uses for the Colossus flatbed and Gravicoil in the future ngl

[vague fractal]

And yeah, learning to mark things is something I need to work on. I initially assumed the waypoints on the discoveries tab would be useful (spoiler: they are NOT 😆).

[obsidian zinc]

Ngl i kinda wish the Gravicoil didnt replace your multitool when equipped

[jagged sedge]

Speaking of, the sentinels seem to get angry when I grapple them

[obsidian zinc]

Yea that happens

[jagged sedge]

They seem to get dizzy and pizzed off

And we;re supposed to do this 32 times ... le sigh

Lucky for me, I'm doing thios near a building where I can go in for a breather

[obsidian zinc]

Just take the same one and spam click throw and grab

Can be done in 10 seconds with a single drone

[jagged sedge]

Trying this, but [at least in the S2 version] after one grapple they are mad and I can't seem to grab them again til they calm down

This is gonna take a while, it seems

I think it's amazing this one's the 'optional' mission, lol

[obsidian zinc]

Today on my main save i ran over some animals and they literally ragdolled down the side of a cliff💀 am i evil for finding it funny

[vague fractal]

I think there should be a title granted if you manage to complete the expedition without getting that optional. I hit things I never even saw.

[obsidian zinc]

Colossus with max mobility upgrades, spider legs and the dozer blade is the apex predator lol

[jagged sedge]

Nah, the predators that hunt us deserve this

[obsidian zinc]

Me trying to rearrange my inventory and some animal tries biting me so i absolutely atomise it

[jagged sedge]

Hey, I just discovered, I can repeatedly launch a drone into one of the holes they blasted in the ground, I can get 4 grapples in before he goes combat mode

Also, seems like the smaller ones are more vunerable ... cool

[obsidian zinc]

Yea the scout ones are very susceptible

[rough mortar]

this expedition is making me smile a bunch today

[obsidian zinc]

Not using supercharged slots?

[patent dove]

I enjoyed grabbing sentinals and throwing them into other sentinals. Also, its way easier to spam grab them on console than on pc. On console you just grab and throw on repeatedly, im pretty sure pc has a cool down

[brazen adder]

how do I get the flatbed on my main save colossus after I've finished the expedition? it's still locked when I go to customise it

nevermind I figured it out, you have to do the new mission called 'Industrial Cleanup'. if it's still locked once you get up to that part of the mission, just quit to the main menu, load back in and it'll unlock the flatbed option.

[remote thunder]

i felt bad/sad about it

then again, i'm the kind of player who will actively avoid hitting them or plants and rocks

i still managed to complete the milestone, even trying my best to keep track of all obstacles

was like, "oh.. i failed to protect you, i'm sorry"

[misty parrot]

How do I get a base computer? I want to build a bridge

[brazen adder]

you cant in the expedition, any bases that are placed there were done after they completed the expedition

[misty parrot]

Ah I see, thanks

[rough mortar]

Nope

[waxen kayak]

Is there some light on the Colossus ? The night are too dark to drive in the expedition 😢

[valid ingot]

Iv had to start fresh as for some reason my save got corrupted and deleted so is anyone able to give me a certain ship. Its a ship from a past exsperdition that you cant get anymore, im happy to trade stuff later in my gameplay when i have stuff but its my fav aahip in the game and i hated to loose it

[warm pebble]

So on the colossus, is it the treads that's causes the glitch where they phase through the ground or is it happening with all tires?

[lusty slate]

Man, the fourth roadtrip went stupid smooth for me. Kept all 16 of my special cargo and finished off all three special waste 16 milestones before hitting the fifth heap. Literally just have to worry about keeping 5 on the last trip and I'm done.

I also didn't get affected by the waypoint bug. Everything tracked just fine.

[warm pebble]

Does grabbing special waste from random scrap heaps count as well?

[lusty slate]

Yes.

[warm pebble]

Awesome, just started today, so that helps me immensely

[balmy thorn]

Yeah man,they should raise the walls a little

since the whole planet is basically steep climbs

not to mention the game glitched out once,and the soil sucked my truck in,making me lose all my stuff in the process

At least an upgrade for the flatbed would be nice,something which prevents stuff from falling out all the time

btw,where do i get the starship in this expedition?

[remote thunder]

1. just for future reference, you're in the expedition game mode channel; probably should have asked in #nms-questions or #nms-lfg-or-trades even
2. there's lots of ways to get ships, there's even a service bot, that can unlock expedition rewards and give you customized ships - these days we can even build fighter, explorer, hauler, solar sail and corvette ship types.
3. i'd suggest browsing nmsce.com - if you know what ship type it was, you have something to start on already. if you dont, just check parts visual list/selector on the right, or even examples on each of the ship types to remember, and it will probably start coming to you

[remote thunder]

complete and claim all milestones of phase 5, then you'll have access to your ship

[balmy thorn]

Oh......thats far

[valid ingot]

With all respect im not that good in the game to understand anything you just said 🤣

[remote thunder]

no worries, it's a lot of info. first, it's best that you know what kind of ship are you actually referring to, so others may be able to assist further. so, open nmsce.com on your browser, leave the box selected at fighter, then hit search button below. those ships that appear, are all of the fighter type, and regardless of looks, all have fighter stats ranges, max inventory upgrade limits etc.

[valid ingot]

Im not sure its on thier due to being an exsperdition ship, its the one that looks like a star wars racer

[unkempt kraken]

@valid ingot
-# to view info below, enable embeds

Starborn Runner

An Expedition 12 reward. To get one, player would have to either wait for the devs to bring it back, resort to save editing/modding/service bot , or get it gifted by another player.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[remote thunder]

that one?

[valid ingot]

Thats the one

[tidal venture]

Can anyone send me a screen of the info of the semi-nocturnal ground fauna/animal? it may help me find that thing

[valid ingot]

I lost a fair bit on my currupted save but the ship is the only thing i care about

[remote thunder]

okay so yeah, runner can definitely be gifted between players. that said, you sure it's not available to claim from the quicksilver shop in the anomaly, under collect expedition rewards? (or was the old saved account unlocks info file really gone)

[valid ingot]

I have no idea what happend, yesterday my steam wouldnt sync my games so i tried on my ps5 and thier wasnt any save file so this morning i jumped on my pc and it wasnt thier i look in the save files and nothing. I aint even started a new save yet as wanted to get the ship if possible as its the only ship i like really.

[remote thunder]

steam syncing files with steam cloud itself? yesterday steam was having a bunch of network problems, it was actually widespread and even affecting more than just steam probably. that's probably why you saw messages related to failures to cloud sync etc, but that shouldnt have deleted any locally stored save files i think, especially if you never clicked "keep cloud versions" or something like that. or were you trying to sync to hello games cloud so you can do the usual cross save with ps5? had you played on ps5 before, and had a save there already?

anyways, this is more of a topic for #nms-questions really - if you'd like to continue this convo, we can move there to not disrupt this one

@valid ingot if you're on pc, you can simply get all expedition unlocks back again by save editing/modding, and call it a day.

[vague fractal]

Here it is. Did not seem too hard to find once you know what to look for.

[remote thunder]

i find that finding fauna, regardless of whether it's tied to a location or not, is usually just a matter of patience; the game has a limit to how many fauna entities it can spawn in the same area, and sometimes one just needs to wait like a minute or two to see if the fauna species we need spawns or not, and if it doesn't we just move on

[tidal venture]

Thanks

[valid ingot]

I have no idea on how to do all that thats why i came on here to see if anyone had one that they wouldnt mind giving to me

[remote thunder]

@valid ingot if you're on pc, you can simply get all expedition unlocks back again by save editing/modding, and call it a day.

easiest way

[valid ingot]

Yeah might be but i dont like modding and dont understand the modding downloads and how they all work its why id rather be on here as might take longer but thier will be someone nice enough at some point if im lucky to cross paths with them

[worn flame]

I am on the part where I need to scan 2 animals with the cyclop scope. I've discovered 5/6. What do I do in this instance?

[remote thunder]

modding in this game doesnt modify game files - mod directories are simply applied as an overlay by the game when it boots. if you delete the mod folders, game is back to vanilla, same as it was - best thing is, you dont need to keep the mod after the unlocks are done. devs literally dont care if we mod - and besides, this is "fixing an issue"

[remote thunder]

discover the last one using cyclops scope, it should count as 2 scans

[vague fractal]

just scan the one you are missing. I had already scanned all 6 on foot and it still completed for me when uploaded.

[remote thunder]

safari is the discover 2 fauna using cyclops scope, field guide is the discover all 6 fauna (which if you had done already, claiming the additional nanite bonus reward will trigger completion)

[valid ingot]

I dont know how to do that though

[remote thunder]

pretty easy once you decide to sit down and go through it, especially easy if you got people in this community willing to tell you how to, step by step - so much so that there's even pinned posts about it in #nms-modding 🙂

[valid ingot]

Yeah thats why i came on here to see if anyone would but thanks for your help

[void ledge]

How do I find my starship in the expedition?

[thick umbra]

you can summon it after you did finish all missions in Phase 5

[void ledge]

Ok

So I can skip like phase 3 and just do phase 5

[thick umbra]

If you want .. but you need to visit all other checkpoints before anyway

[lusty slate]

Yeah, Safari has a failsafe that will trigger it complete if you scan all the creatures on foot. Probably to avoid people getting locked out of progress.

[lusty slate]

FYI, it's not going to make the driving any quicker if you have your ship. Still have to drive the hauls back. It might save you some time getting to each heap + extra storage. That's it. You don't really need your ship for this one.

[remote thunder]

pinged you in #nms-modding in case you wanted to know more about that. if not all good anyway, and try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades to find someone that can dupe you their ship

[ionic walrus]

just starting the expedition

shld i bring anything along w me

[scarlet island]

can't get anything you bring in till after you already complete the expedition

[lusty slate]

You don't really have to take anything back either. Doesn't really give you anything valuable in the inventory.

[rigid spoke]

the way point milestone haven't been fixed ?

[obsidian zinc]

I did bring back colossus upgrades

But that depends if one wants to use it past the expedition

[rigid spoke]

when will it be fixed 😭

[lusty slate]

I already did all the titles on main + upgraded my Colossus before this. So no need. But yeah, if you haven't done the main game mission, stripping the tech would be beneficial.

[ionic walrus]

are we supposed to get like the copper from somewhere to make the tool attachment or find it in the wild

[obsidian zinc]

I do think there are copper veins on the expedition planet

[worn flame]

It's emeril

[ionic walrus]

stuff near spawn is like viped

[lusty slate]

Emeril. You're in a green system

[worn flame]

For chromatic metal

I'm on the road sign part. What does it mean by chart waypoints?

[lusty slate]

Hit all the savepoint pillars you find

[thick umbra]

or use the lamp 🙂

its a funny bug .. but it works sometimes

[lusty slate]

Switch 1, so mp didn't mess with the waypoints for me. I activated all 6 with no issues.

I also didn't have any problem putting down the geobay. I think those issues were likely the mp servers... being themselves.

[thick umbra]

I always play with MP disabled

[lusty slate]

One of the few Switch 1 perks. No mp at all, so don't have to worry about turning it off. 🙂

[thick umbra]

as you see .. the other 2 did count as I just used the lamp 🙂

[lusty slate]

Everyone: But Switch 1 doesn't have mp!
Me: Threaten me with a good time, why don't you.

[thick umbra]

hehe

[hoary cypress]

do the expedition items are getting added to the game ?

[thick umbra]

Which items you mean ?

[hoary cypress]

well there is this new gravity gun and the new flattbed

since the exp rewards are decorations only

[thick umbra]

Every reward you get from the expedition will be available in all other saves

[hoary cypress]

but the flattbed and the gravity gun are no rewards

[thick umbra]

Some you get from the QS guy in the Anomay ..

[hoary cypress]

QS ?

[upbeat tide]

does this expedition feel extremely buggy to anyone else? i just started and im already seeing wildlife zapping in and out of existence and players and trucks and ships are blinking in and out as well. also the sentinels kinda bug out after you grab gravitino cores and run back to the expedition spawn

[hoary cypress]

got the same

[thick umbra]

You get the flatbed if you run your truck the first time to an Industrial waste point

[grizzled valve]

is there a good guide to this yet?

[hoary cypress]

ahh so those points get added to other saves nice

[upbeat tide]

its near unplayable but i will tredge through maybe its just the starter planet

[hoary cypress]

i had no issuses for myself just visual

[grizzled valve]

turn off MP

[thick umbra]

start the expedition with MP disabled

[upbeat tide]

that wont fix the wildlife blinking in and out. i accidentally hit one with my mining laser trying to get ferrite because it manifested in front of me

[thick umbra]

which platform ?

[upbeat tide]

pc

[hoary cypress]

so that would mean if i don't need the decoration exp rewards i don't need to finish the expendition to get the gravity gun and flattbed on my main save ?

[indigo falcon]

so the way to get a gravity coil and the flatbed on any regular save is: set down the colossus geobay and install the scanner; scan for a waste processing plant (be on an inhabited world with salv scrap); go to it and interact with the control panel, this gives you the gravity coil blueprint; install that, then pick up and deposit one regular piece of scap; that unlocks the flatbed

the samehappens in the expedition, in fact

[thick umbra]

need to find a planet with all that waste ..

[hoary cypress]

i was just wondering because if i had to i would just Speed run the exp to get the items

[vague fractal]

I'm not saying it is impossible to happen with mp off, but the only time I saw that (PC/Steam) was when I turned multiplayer on.

[upbeat tide]

ur right i disabled multiplayer and now nothing is blinking

[ionic walrus]

can pyrite sub paraffium

it keeps highlighting pyrite to build the thing even tho i need parafium

[indigo falcon]

pyrite + ferrite dust -> paraffinium

[vague fractal]

If this expedition wasn't planned as a stress test for multiplayer, they should probably claim it was anyway to pretend they knew what they were doing trapping everyone on a small part of one planet. 😛

[grizzled valve]

the rewards are just cosmetic?

[hoary cypress]

check pinned on this channel

[grizzled valve]

awful

[arctic holly]

I think my Colossus is possessed. Yesterday it was literally running away from me, and today it is slowly sliding along perfectly flat ground.

[hoary cypress]

when do the re-add the jupiter exp ? with the blue living ship

[indigo falcon]

the expeditions from last year already reran at the end of the year.

[hoary cypress]

is there a channel where i can see the expeditions announced ?

[indigo falcon]

#nms-announcements might do for you, it includes all updates

[hoary cypress]

tysm

[ocean gust]

Oh my lord, this expedition is the worst. Go to a rendezvous point, never find your way back? Check. Load up with 15 "special" junk pieces, then glitch out the colusus underground, spin it incontrollably in circles for a bit, force a resummon and all the trash gone? Check. Random, deep sinkholes just to make sure things are fully frustrated? Check. Make sure things are so crowded that it take a half hour of blind searching just to find a spot to build a geobay? Check.

If the entire thing is designed to be an exercise in extreme frustration, it is a wild success. Gosh, wouldn't mind a meditative driving simulator to collect trash if it didn't arbitrarily just wipe you out while simultaneously preventing you from retracing your steps.

I get that it is all likely a stress test for Light No Fire. Yes, I have a vast amount of faith and good will banked for HG and its demonstrated commitment for learning from experience and improving. But, oh my lord, this one is a huge miss out of the gate. First time I'm likely to just sit out an expedition because it's just not any fun.

[hoary cypress]

depends on the player, the expedition is fun but since i only play it for the rewards and i don't need decoration rewards for my safe i'm going to spend my time somewhere else

[past juniper]

Im actually gonna crash out I was like a minute away from getting like 12 special waste to the processing area and then the colossus CLIPS THROUGH THE GROUND and starts falling through the ground with the waste and I keep exiting the game and reentering my save but by the time I find out that dumping the waste fixed it, it’s ALL gone

hopefully it’s back at the waste site otherwise I’m cooked

Can someone pls tell me if it respawns so I don’t go all the way back or nothing

[thick umbra]

I have the feeling that it more often happens if MP is enabled...
If you at a heap and did fill up your truck, first go and make a waypoint save ... than exit the game .. if you reenter the game sometimes you will find special waist again

[past juniper]

my mp is off

Wait omg

I did do a waypoint

I didn’t know that was a thing

YES

thanks much

Will it happen in the same spot again??

Should I avoid it or was it just chance

[thick umbra]

Not always ..

but that way I could fill up my truck with 30 spezial waste .. by doing that waypoint bug

[past juniper]

How do you do that??

All the waste is back in my truck now cause I saved after I filled it up

[thick umbra]

its a bug ... I have no idea what the logic behind this is.

[past juniper]

Ok….

I meant more like what do u do to GET 30 special waste lol

[thick umbra]

At a waste heap .. I collect only special waste .. if ecverything is loaded ... I make a waypoint save .. leave the game .. next time I enter it again .. more spezial waste is there

[past juniper]

Cool

[thick umbra]

and so on .. until no more special waste appears

Than I hope that my truck will not go crazy on the route to the next Industrial Waste Plant 🙂

[hot moon]

Anyone have any tips about to start the expedition

[wraith junco]

Patience

And

[crimson coral]

I need help
What do i have to do on the colossus to complete the first mission of phase 2?

[clever swan]

what i should do here

[crimson coral]

I had the same question

[wintry inlet]

I think you just have to "save" the config of your colossus

[clever swan]

oh sry i just joined to ask this right now

[wintry inlet]

in the customization menu

[crimson coral]

I did several times

[thick umbra]

use the config terminal .. make some changes .. than press Config .. that allows you to store your config

[wintry inlet]

Not change it and save, but go and make a preset

with a name

[crimson coral]

Ohh

Yep
Works

[wintry inlet]

awesome 🙂 someone gave me the tip as well XD the text is a bit confusing

[granite ermine]

any recommendations for field guide and peterology? I am just missing one for each and have been driving around for like an hour looking lol

[thick umbra]

check the pins

[granite ermine]

is everyone on this same planet with the same minerals and animals to find?

[lusty slate]

Expeditions always put everyone in the same planet and systems.

[worn flame]

How can I reorient a sentinel? I tried just now and they weren't able to be picked up by my gravitino coil

[warm pebble]

This is the first expedition I've done. I started it today, and i feel i can potentially complete it today as well. are they all normally this easy, or is this an exception?

[granite ermine]

get close to them and then you should be able to grab it like you grab the trash stuff. LB on controller

make sure you have the right tool selected in multitool

[worn flame]

I'll try again, maybe it's a one off problem

[granite ermine]

also make sure it is one of the flying ones. idk if you can pick up the dogs

[warm pebble]

I stood just inside a building and juggled 2 until I got the milestone

[worn flame]

I needed to reload. It let me pick them up then

[past juniper]

Oh haha I love how I spent like 30 minutes going to and back from a waste site to find out I DIDN’T get the checkpoint for some reason

[crimson coral]

Yaay i am in phase 3 now

[small merlin]

does anyone know if you can get new parts with the furnace module?

[thick umbra]

what exactly do you mean ?

[small merlin]

you get new part by scrapping x amount of scrap, does the funace module on the colossus count towards that, or do i still have to transport stuff to the processing plant?

[thick umbra]

That module is only good for normal waste .. all other special waste must be dropped into the corresponding oven at the Industrial Waste Plant

otherwise it will not count

[small merlin]

is there even a point to the furnace then? if i cant get other parts from it?

[solemn bane]

You can make tens of nanites scrapping the small piles of waste

[small merlin]

my only focus are the other parts

[solemn bane]

The whole scrapping thing is entirely pointless to the rest of the game

[small merlin]

sure, im doing it to kill time for the extreme survival tryphy anyway.

trophy*

and im trying to find out if can just use the colossus furnace to get parts, or if i have to transport them back to a plant to get them.

because the count goes up in my log when i use the colossus furnace, but i don't know if it counts it for new parts.

[solemn bane]

Doesn't count the special waste, no. It counts it as regular waste, like putting it in the regular furnace at the processing plant

[small merlin]

alright, thats good.

the the special waste is just extra nanites.

this saves so much time

[solemn bane]

Until you find out how much easier and faster most any other nanite farming method is.

[small merlin]

well im not doing it for nanites

[dim osprey]

Road trip quest is bugged out I have been sitting at a Processing plant reloading my save every time it doesn't count the scrap do i need to sacrifice a devs first born to get it to work?

[thick umbra]

Auto reload ?

[dim osprey]

No going back to primary save and back

and I am in single player blah blah blah

It just not working

[solemn bane]

Are you scrapping special waste in the correct places?

[dim osprey]

Yes and I am getting the nanites

It literally just not counting it

[solemn bane]

So for example, you are putting the green waste in the vat of liquid fluid?

[dim osprey]

Yes I can see the symbols and I have a brain so I can put two and two together

[solemn bane]

Look, you're getting a bug I haven't seen anyone else post, so I have to get more info to help

My only other guess is you need to complete the previous Checkpoint milestone.

And the usual turn multiplayer off and select the milestone.

But again nobody has reported this issue that I've seen, so that shouldn't be an issue

[indigo falcon]

which road trip is this, i.e. which phase is it in? (just for more info)

[dim osprey]

4 the others worked fine

It just stopped count the scrap after the 3rd road trip

[hollow heron]

Does scanning a tree count towards completing the mineral scanning mission? Is that possible?

[indigo falcon]

there's one that's a rock. it's called "rock tree"

[runic latch]

How do I complete road trup one milestone?

[hollow heron]

A funny lookin one 😂

[indigo falcon]

just to double check: you returned to the same waste processing plant? (I don't think it should matter, but in the case that two icons were visible in the hud... just trying to think of anything that could play a role here)

[runic latch]

I have both transported and processed more than 5 special waste at this point

[dim osprey]

No but I am not driving 1 hour to go back there

[solemn bane]

You need to put special waste into the correct disposal units at the processing plant after reaching the previous Checkpoint.

[dim osprey]

They could just code the quest so it works

[runic latch]

I did

[runic latch]

^

[solemn bane]

Welp, looks like we may have a new bug

[runic latch]

fun

do I ned to reach checkpoint 1 first?

[solemn bane]

Especially fun since it's going to take me 30 fucking minutes to test, lol

[solemn bane]

Yes

[runic latch]

alright...

[solemn bane]

ok, so maybe not a bug

[runic latch]

so road trip one can only be completed after I reach checkpoint 1?

[thick umbra]

I did run exp21 now 4 times .. never seen that kind of bug

[runic latch]

it does not say so in the description

Right

[indigo falcon]

waste heap 4 should not be an hour away from the processing plant...

[runic latch]

I need to fire at it

Annoying

[indigo falcon]

it's around 8 minutes I think. (3 was 7 minutes, and 4 was another 2 minutes past that one)

[runic latch]

I just dropped it in

[runic latch]

Not a bug, I need to fire it into the flatbed rather than just let go... Sigh* Welp, I'm on it

[runic latch]

^

(Messege above, not an answer)

[solemn bane]

That is definitely not a requirement. It just has to go into the correct processing unit.

[thick umbra]

was not ment for you

[runic latch]

definietly a requirenment

"launch"

[solemn bane]

100% not a requirement.

I dropped all my toxic waste in before I realized I could shoot it into the vat from my truck bed

[indigo falcon]

the wordinng is telling you the easiest (?) way to get the trash in the bin, but you don't have to; I dropped some pieces in becauseI could not lob them in well, the explosive ones were always a problem. 6.22 patch version

[runic latch]

your right

I need to be focus on it to make it progress

[solemn bane]

ok, that makes sense

Could be the same issue the other guy above was having

[indigo falcon]

ohhh, I forgot to ask if the milestone was selected

gah

[solemn bane]

The reason it didn't hit me is I knew you could do all 5 at the same time if you hit all the Checkpoints first, but I likely had one of them selected when I finished all of them.

[runic latch]

why is it not updating? Do I just process it now?

[solemn bane]

It says 5/5

[solemn bane]

Go to the Expedition tab to get your reward

[indigo falcon]

I just did 3 + 4 at once, but yeah

[lusty slate]

If I were you, I'd take ALL special waste at a heap. You're very likely going to lose cargo on the way back.

[indigo falcon]

and even if you don't, you're likely going to need all the toxic, or maybe have 1 extra at the end, from all 5 heaps

[runic latch]

I only loaded it on now

I'm confused because it is not directing me to process it

[lusty slate]

I got lucky and got those milestones done on the fourth heap. But others might not be as fortunate in their runs. I managed the fourth roadtrip with my entire 16 piece cargo. Somehow.

[solemn bane]

Oh I see, NMS is bad at guiding people through quests, as you may have noticed 😆

I'm just NMS brained and do what I think the quest wants me to do, rather than what it tells me to do.

[indigo falcon]

lol

[lusty slate]

Oooh, NMS directions being themselves, gotcha. 😛

[toxic reef]

Is it ok to ask a question regarding the expedition here?

[indigo falcon]

yes please!!

[solemn bane]

You just did!

[indigo falcon]

tsk tsk

[toxic reef]

Damn, do I get 3 more questions......

[indigo falcon]

that's the second one

[solemn bane]

2...

[indigo falcon]

so how can we help you? more seriously, expedition questions, help and discussion are all welcome here

[toxic reef]

So just wanted to ask what things should I be taking over to the main save after completing the thing

[indigo falcon]

if you don't have a colossus with all the upgrades, you might want to package up the S class tech and the other items, I can't think of anything else that's so important

[toxic reef]

So dem ice creams are useless

[indigo falcon]

well for me, I would sell them. but you can let the game do that for you at end of the expedition

the bones could be turned into displays if that's your thing, but bones are not hard to find either

[toxic reef]

Cuz my colossus is i believe is max upgrade

[indigo falcon]

you might not need to bring anything back. uh if you have stuff to sell back for nanintes, maybe ship that back over

[solemn bane]

Food gives you buffs, and I imagine those would do pretty well in the nuteriant processor. That said, I never remember to use that thing.

[indigo falcon]

I never use the ingester either, it's a fun feature but not needed past a certain point

[toxic reef]

I have never used it, I have the max protection for all environments so I just replenish those over time

[indigo falcon]

so yeah: uninstalled tech -> sell for nanites, that's all I can think of

but you can just as well sell those at the space station or anomaly before returning

[solemn bane]

I think they'll just auto sell if you package them and leave them in your inventory

Either way it's like 10 nanites so meh

[gleaming wind]

Bleh. Trying to get back to the system you're in during the expedition. But it's taking forever trying to warp there.

[indigo falcon]

if it's uninstalled tech, my understanding is that the game sells them for units INSTEAD of nanites, this is why I try to take care of it before returning

packaged tech is another thing completely.

[toxic reef]

Could i assume that if zi return to the primary save from the options menu, i can come back to the expedition planet from anomaly, even though i have finished all the phases?

[gleaming wind]

That's what I'm trying to do. The system shows up in your discoveries and is in the Euclid galaxy.

[indigo falcon]

if you didn't actually "end the expedition" then I think so.

well not from the primary save

[gleaming wind]

I asked if anyone happens to know of theres a portal in the system and what its address is but got no answer

[indigo falcon]

what I mean is, you can go back to the expd version of the save, and return to the planet

the glyphs are on a post in reddit, hold on

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fglyphs-for-the-expedition-planet-v0-9kf3st4ysvkg1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D4032%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3De4aa2f79aeded87df3befbcc52a084d5a37dd472

[gleaming wind]

Thx

[flat quartz]

Oh I’m fucked for one of the missions. I have no clue how to find the 6 waypoints it needs me to find, I’m at like 2/6 just by random chance

Any advice

[solemn bane]

Skip it til you have your ship. It's kinda buggy so you have to get a lot of them, and thats easier when you can fly to places after scanning for them in your collosus.

[indigo falcon]

but while you are going to waste heaps and the monolith, keep your eyes open, I passed a shelter and some other thing en route

[toxic reef]

That was me xd but I pushed through the slow colossus

[jagged sedge]

I found them by using the colossus radar to find drop pods, then go and activate - I got the waypoints and new inventory slots also

[indigo falcon]

oh yeah I passed a drop pod on the way too

[solemn bane]

Remnant planet portal address:

[indigo falcon]

heh I was about to ding you for an 11 glyph address 😛

[solemn bane]

What a pain

And I can't add it to my pinned post because each character in :portal1: etc counts as a character

[indigo falcon]

length? ouch

[solemn bane]

Shorter to add a link to the above comment in the pinned comment, lol. Spose I could just ask the moderators to add it to the Gunter post

[indigo falcon]

or.. start collecting material for an 'additional tips/info' post

[solemn bane]

It's usually in the Gunter overview post, not this time for some reason

[indigo falcon]

because this time the whole thing is on one planet so glyphs were deemed unnecessary I guess

[solemn bane]

It's never really necessary

[indigo falcon]

it's been useful forfolks plenty of times in other expeditions

here, well, you should always be on the same planet, with no way to leave it (thanks hg for introducing a bug that made this possible 🙄 )

[flat quartz]

Fully noted you are amazing

[remote thunder]

we'll for sure make one to keep as a register, sorry, i'll get that going today

[jagged sedge]

Why thank you - hope it works for you also

[violet wagon]

When do we get our ship?

[solemn bane]

After collecting the reward for completing all the milestones of Phase 5, if you're on the latest patch.

[violet wagon]

What if I can't complete a milestone from phase 3? I already scanned 5 of the 6 creatures. Now it wants me to scan 2 from vehicle. There aren't 2 left

[solemn bane]

Scan the sixth and register them and both will complete. Also you can skip milestones to complete Phase 5's milestones.

[teal pelican]

finally did this expedition

now that I look back at it the ships really help you traverse planets

[gaunt ridge]

again, what is with this scanner not finding the closest ones

[solemn bane]

It's a "feature" of this expedition. All expeditions I think, if the poi's are milestone-related, they get "stuck." Same thing doesn't happen in the regular game, in that once you reach a destination it typically finds you a new one.

[gaunt ridge]

when do you unlock the base computer

[solemn bane]

Once you complete the entire expedition and collect the rewards, IF you started the expedition on a new save. If you started on existing save, you don't get one.

[gaunt ridge]

...

[solemn bane]

Or if you save-hack, which is what people did for all those bases you can see, since you can no longer see non-expedition bases as of a couple patches ago.

[gaunt ridge]

did they do that to prevent griefing

[solemn bane]

Yeah they made an effort

[frail gate]

I need paraffinium to make my Colossus bay, but I can't find any on the planet

[solemn bane]

The tooltip should tell you to mix ferrite and pyrite, but sometimes doesn't

[past juniper]

Finally finished the expedition

All ts for the heirloom set

I used the pants

My computer has like auto worst graphics so I don’t get to see it look like this ever 😭

[jagged spruce]

has the system always existed or did they add a new one just for this

[lusty slate]

"I can't wait to finally call my ship in the expedition."

Me: ....you mean this C class hauler that flies like ass, ok

[hot moon]

Why can’t I place my colossus bay down it says no edit permissions

[jagged spruce]

turn off multiplayer or place it near the waste processing plant

[solemn bane]

Go back to the waste processing plant and place it there. Otherwise go fully offline and walk far away.

[lusty slate]

Me: /always flies solars
Me: /gets into a hauler
Me: .....ew

[jagged spruce]

has switch 1 caught up to the expedition update yet

[solemn bane]

Turning off multiplayer won't matter, you'll still see player bases. You have to go offline so you don't download any new bases.

[hot moon]

Oh ok tyvm 👍

[past juniper]

Real 🥹

[jagged spruce]

I fly corvettes so any legacy ship is ass

[past juniper]

My laptop dislikes when I use my corvette 🥲

[lusty slate]

I have a corvette and I still main my solar. I like my custom solar. 🙂

[jagged spruce]

being in the anomaly with multiple corvettes sometimes slice my fps in half

[lusty slate]

Nope, but I just finished it fine without the fixes.

[solemn bane]

The fixes didn't work anyway, lol

Waypoints are still bugged, physics is still bugged, player bases are back.

Oh and the fix to make the ship harder to get. That one worked, lol.

[hot moon]

I lost the processing place how can I find it again ?

[lusty slate]

sips soda in Switch 1 That's crazy, friend

[jagged spruce]

use your scanner or colossus radar

[hot moon]

Oh ok ty

[jagged spruce]

there's only one processing plant in the entire expedition

[lusty slate]

I didn't get the waypoint bug. Mp must be causing that one.

[jagged spruce]

do you know if the expedition players can get in corvettes?

[solemn bane]

Sure, if someone hacks them in

[jagged spruce]

can't you just portal to the planet

[solemn bane]

You'll still have the icon on your horizon, it looks like this (the one in the middle, tested last night)

[solemn bane]

Expedition players cannot see/interact with non-expedition players

[pallid zealot]

is it worth doing the expodtion again in my main save if ive already done it on a fresh save?

[solemn bane]

Absolutely not.

[jagged spruce]

really?

[solemn bane]

Yup, that's always been the case.

[lusty slate]

Expedition and main game are on different servers, basically

[pallid zealot]

thanks

[jagged spruce]

only if you want the upgrade modules

[solemn bane]

I can think of at least one way to get S class modules that won't take 3 hours

[lusty slate]

Okie, let's see if the weekend QS is worth double dipping before I end...

"Construct and underwater outpost" Ew, nevermind.

[flat heron]

I've noticed that on the newest patch some non-expedition bases will partially appear on the expedition without names. Usually they lack any powering components so the most I can do there is interact with the trading terminal

so basically they didn't really patch the problems

[solemn bane]

Those are people hacking a base computer onto their expedition save, and all the bases were sort of half-there for some reason. A lot of times it's just people extending the range of their base to troll, though.

[flat heron]

why only half

[solemn bane]

Like if you just see one wall in the middle of nowhere, it's someone extending their base

[solemn bane]

That I don't know, performance issues maybe

[lusty slate]

Dooooooone!

[solemn bane]

Oh, one patch that did work was being able to warp back to the starting area if you took a portal to the space station, lol.

[lusty slate]

...why would people do that, exactly

[jagged spruce]

you mean teleporter?

I don't think the planet has a portal

[solemn bane]

They all have portals, but yes a teleporter

[jagged spruce]

every planet has a portal?

[solemn bane]

Yep

It's part of the address you see when you take screenshots

[jagged spruce]

damn I chose the worst planet to make my euclid galaxy portal

aggressive sentinel planet

[fading trellis]

this expedition is the worst expedition they have ever released like y am i playing truck driver simulator. it wouldnt be so bad if the stuff didnt fall out of the truck like this game is supposed to be futuristic y does it even fall out. im never doing this after the expedition

[solemn bane]

I assume because people built bases with working teleporters so people saw them and assumed they were supposed to take them. Also the people building them maybe didn't know you can't teleport from base to base if you don't actually own the bases.

[jagged spruce]

you can tho

you can teleport to other people's bases

if you wanted to

[solemn bane]

On the space station you are 100% soft locked

[jagged spruce]

really?

you can teleport to other people's bases on a space station tho

I've done it

[solemn bane]

Yes, that's why there was a patch to allow you to get put back on the planet via an option in the quick menu

I'm not making this up, check the patch notes.

[jagged spruce]

does the expedition have special code that prevents you from teleporting to other people's bases

[jagged spruce]

I know about that but I thought that's mostly for people over 3 hours away from the processing plant

[solemn bane]

does the expedition have special code

I would say the expedition has very special code.

[runic latch]

any tips for minerals milestone?

[jagged spruce]

look for small rocks

like very small

[solemn bane]

Wrong note:

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.

[runic latch]

how many? found one

[solemn bane]

More info in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message

[jagged spruce]

you can normally teleport to other people's bases tho

[solemn bane]

Again, I am not making this up, read the patch note that I copy/pasted

[jagged spruce]

yes I know

but how would you not be able to teleport to other people's bases when in the normal game you can

[solemn bane]

Normally you can see other bases. Normally you have a ship. Normally you can buy ships. Normally you can find other poi's after arriving at one.

[jagged spruce]

fair

they should've just banned building bases

[fresh crypt]

man my damn colossus just flew into a hole leading to the the planets core😭😭😭

[solemn bane]

Physics is a complete mystery to man.

[marsh willow]

Get to phase 4 when your ship becomes available, then fly to another planet to get #6!

[glossy valley]

trying to find the 1 last ore i gotta scan lol. what a treat

[solemn bane]

Good chance it's the one in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message

[glossy valley]

ty ill look

[lusty slate]

"Whoa-oh, we'll make it I sweeear. Whoa-oh, livin' on a praaayeeer..."

[solemn bane]

According to my estimations, you are halfway there.

[lusty slate]

Most appropriate expedition soundtrack, I think.

[lament palm]

how do i get pirates off my back when i can't attack them

[glossy valley]

course when you need a small ore it is elusive

[solemn bane]

Keep on truckin. They always just flew off after one or two shots at me.

[lament palm]

yeah they've gone through my shield thrice and i'm sitting in a hole and they're still not gone

drive hole and heal up and then drive again or is there anything else i don't know about

[solemn bane]

I just kept driving, didn't stop.

[lament palm]

kk

[low grove]

Someone had made the comment that this expedition was like Euro Truck Simulator, so I've been subtitling my videos Eheu Truck Simulator. I guess the Devs had the same idea? I'm not sure what generated this banner

[solemn bane]

One of those message orbs I think

[low grove]

💯

How embarrassing, it was my own message I left

[solemn bane]

lmao

[low grove]

Here's an alternative title for y'all:
Grah Stranding

[woeful elbow]

why when i melee hit this cargo rack, i get one gold?

this one gives me magnetized ferrite

[rocky fractal]

I just got out of my truck and walked away a bit, they eventually just disappeared and never bothered me

[graceful girder]

Better yet, why do the locals hate you for hitting your own stuff

[woeful elbow]

not even my own stuff, just chilling on somebody's corvette at the anomaly

[graceful girder]

Lol, for some reason they count as cargo pods, like on freighters.

[woeful elbow]

yea - even funnier you can just explode people's cargo at the anomaly

[graceful girder]

If you look at just the right spot, usually on the left side, the ui will tell you that it's a cargo pod.

See if I can grab the screenshot I took on my switch

[woeful elbow]

seems to drop same stuff as freighter cargo pod, but it only costs you the regular reputation, and some materials to replace the rack

[graceful girder]

[steep jacinth]

Is anyone else having an issue where the colossal is clipping into the ground when it’s full?

[patent dove]

That often happens if one of the small canisters clips out of the bed, stop the vehicle, get out, gravcoil anything on the ground, it should fix itself

The flatten feature on the terrain manipulator is going to be your friend

[steep jacinth]

That’s when it’s doing it mainly. Something will fall out and I’ll stop and get a single piece. Turn around, and the rear end just sinks into the ground until it flips over and everything falls through the ground. lol.

[patent dove]

Get in and gun it, tapping boost

[steep jacinth]

I was 2 minutes away from depot full, and lost everything after 12 minutes of truck’n. 😂

[patent dove]

If it happens again, try to flatten the area behind with the terrain manipulator

Itll also create a spot where the scrap can settle if it falls out

[steep jacinth]

I’ll have to try that. I had to take break. That was beyond frustrating. lol.

[low grove]

I rarely needed to use the terrain manipulator, like once there was a ravine crack in the ground so I made a bridge

They did a hot fix patch that fixed a ton of the bumps. So driving over dihydrogen patches no long send everything flying, it was quite the pleasant experience

[steep jacinth]

The first time it clipped, I was on a weird incline, so I kind understand it can happen? But, on almost flat ground it just sinks, does a barrel role, then acts like nothing happened? No. 😭😂😂

[hardy quail]

Any advice for finding waypoints? The ingame text says to buy charts at the space station, but that doesn't really apply here ^^"

[upbeat tide]

alright this new update is pretty cool im enjoying all these nanites

just wish multiplayer wasnt buggy tho it dont matter too much

when am i gonna go repair my starship tho i wanna do this expedition in order so im not repairing it till it tells me to

[solemn bane]

Wait until you unlock your ship, then you can more easily fly to ones after scanning for them with your collosus.

[solemn bane]

Easy fix, turn multiplayer off.

[upbeat tide]

i did already

[hardy quail]

oh, so just save it until the end of the expy? Alright. Then again I'm halfway there, I might just get that through the other missions

[solemn bane]

After you complete Phase 5 and collect the reward (you can skip ahead)

[upbeat tide]

oof is there a way to use the refiner to make copper? starter planet has no copper and i need it for repairing the ship

[solemn bane]

You can't repair the ship to the point you can fly it, you unlock it after phase 5 is done and it's repaired, at that time you can summon it.

[solemn bane]

Yeah it's really buggy, hit or miss if it counts, so best to pretend it doesn't exist, aside from getting any waypoints you come across.

[indigo falcon]

this isn't really expedition chatter but: I'm slowly doing the unlocks for the other colossus parts and they're ...well, not all that interesting it turns out. I have the other chassis and the off road wheels and I feel kind of meh about the rest

[main umbra]

Just reached the Colossus driving challenge of the expedition. Crawled through those insanely bumpy dunes, super slow and careful for 30 minutes to reach one checkpoint. Had to get out of the car at least ten times to chase down dropped cargo. And honestly? I’m done. I’ve got better things to do than this painfully boring nonsense. Ridiculous.

[indigo falcon]

none of the waste heaps should be that far away; even the 5th one is about 12 minutes distant

[main umbra]

12 minutes turned into waaaaay more then 12m thanks to the bumps and holes in the road, either forcing me to crawl around in circles or lose cargo and run after them down hills and holes.

[indigo falcon]

I was very lucky on this expd: didn't fall in any holes, no "colossus sinks into the ground" bug, also had no glitches. lost 1 piece of cargo total, taking it nice and easy.

[rigid spoke]

How do we complete the waypoint milestone ? Its still not working for me

[indigo falcon]

I would wait until you finish phase 5, get your ship, then go fly around to some waypoints, on another planet if need be

[rigid spoke]

Oh ok im gonna try that

[indigo falcon]

with mp on, it's been bugged, there is supposed to be a fix out but the fix doesn't seem to fix it for everyone.

(and turn mp off and save-exit-reload before heading to that other planet)

[upbeat tide]

is there a way to raise up the excavation blade so that im not collecting mats while sentinals are investigating me?

[indigo falcon]

not that I know of. But you can package it and move it to cargo inventory for a bit.

[grave helm]

Why are there lots of floating bases missing parts on the expedition planet?

The game can't render the bases?

[indigo falcon]

are you still running the expedition or you completed it?

[grave helm]

Completed it

[indigo falcon]

ah

[grave helm]

Not sure if the bases are still like that

[indigo falcon]

then yeah it's likely a rendering issue, you could sae-exit-reload and see if it's better

[grave helm]

But when doing my expedition it was like that

[grave helm]

Everytime

[indigo falcon]

during the expedition you shouldn't have seen those bases at all, there was a bug

[grave helm]

Bridges missing pieces

[grave helm]

I heard it was a recent update, it wasn't since the beginning of the exp

[indigo falcon]

it could be that stuff is cached poorly, so another thing you can do is warp away, save-exit-reload, warp back, check again (this is to hopefully clear the cache)

[grave helm]

And until I finished the expedition I could see people's bases

[indigo falcon]

if they have a lot of pices you might still have the rendering issue depending on your platform

[grave helm]

Most were pretty simple apparently

So yeah I saw bases from the beginning until the end of my expedition

[indigo falcon]

people were building bases after compleeting the expd but they were visible to expeditioners, this has been patched out as of 6.23

[grave helm]

I finished mine before that

I gotta see now if out of the expedition the bases are fully rendering. I have an aerial base on that planet little above the starter waste place

[indigo falcon]

so: first try save-exit-reload; if that doesn't help, try warp away, save-exit-reload, warp back. if neither helps, dunno what to tell you

[grave helm]

I'm not sure if everyone starts at the place tho

[indigo falcon]

we all seem to have that same starting location, afaict
