[lusty slate]

You don't lose your main save, if that's what you're asking.

[vale vigil]

If I start on my main save, does it reset all my progress and remove the items I was told about?

[lusty slate]

Basically, however you start it, the expedition is treated like a separate mode. Starting it from the Anomaly simple allows you to send items into it to be picked up later and send items back.

[vale vigil]

Sorry to sound like a "n00b" but it's been about 8 years, so basically new. 😄

[dense jasper]

it basically creates a new character for you that looks the same as the main one but has a new ship, multitool and inventory. You'll be able to switch to your main character at any point from the pause menu and then return to the expedition from the terminus

[lusty slate]

And let's you take the units, nanites and quicksilver and adds it to your totals on main.

[vale vigil]

So, I don't lose anything? Also, can I still switch to my main save during expidition?

[dense jasper]

You'll be able to switch to your main character at any point from the pause menu

[vale vigil]

And the forst part?

I can technically only lose what I take it if I don't transfer it back over, correct?

[dense jasper]

there'll be an option, sometring like "go to primary save". Then if you want to go back to the expedition, just get to the terminus and select resume expedition

[vale vigil]

Ty 😊

[dense jasper]

at the end of the expedition you'll get your ship access back. Then you could go to the space anomaly using your expedition character and transfer whatever you want to the primary save via the terminus inventory. It's a bit tedious and might require a few rounds of switching, but you can save every single item if you want to. As long as you use "return to primary". When you're happy you've transferred all you needed, you can press "end expedition"

[vale vigil]

Anyone have a good link to a guide that will help me out?

I don't mean to be a bother to you all.

[autumn halo]

As others have said, no, you do not lose anything. But you do not have access to all that stuff during the expedition - it's a new character essentially, that lets you take some stuff back to your main save at the end.

[autumn halo]

1. Go to the "Cargo" inventory in the expedition terminal.
2. Put stuff in there you want to keep.
3. Return to primary save.
4. Go to the "Cargo" inventory in the expedition terminal.
5. Take stuff out.
6. Return to expedition save and repeat until you've got everything you want to keep.
7. End Expedition

I hardly ever keep anything

Anything you don't keep will convert to money units and nanites as appropriate

If you really liked the ship or multi-tool you had in the expedition, you can make a copy of them in your main save for like 5000 nanites.

[vale vigil]

Very good and detailed info right here. I truly appreciate the time.

[solemn bane]

You may have figured this out by now, but for posterity, you don't need to drive all the way back for special scrap - it spawns somewhat commonly in the small waste piles scattered all over the planet.

[remote thunder]

and you may also be able to find specialist industrial waste ones

[chrome lichen]

is anyone having problems with phase 3 roadsigns quest the chechpoints arent registering?

[vale vigil]

....can you run expedition as a group?

[indigo falcon]

it will be easiest if you wait until the end of phase 5, call in your ship, then go find a few waypoints well off the route

[indigo falcon]

you can but multiplayer introduces various bugs, so I would avoid it for this expedition

[vale vigil]

Thanks!

So, apparently I messed up. I stated a "new save" the other day to see what the expedition was about. I did not start the expedition from my main save.

Now in my main save, when I go to expedition, it prompts me to claim rewards. I deleted the save that the expedition was made on because I learned I could use my main. Wtheck do I do now?

[thick aurora]

so i just lost almost all of my specialist waste because of a completely unavoidable physics glitch

fun

i am so close to just being done with this expedition, this is infuriating

[solemn bane]

The phase rewards get unlocked across all your saves on the account, but you should be able to play the expedition as normal on any other save, with the exception of being able to have access to things like the spider legs right away if you unlocked that on a different save.

[indigo falcon]

take it very slow when you have a full bed of stuff, hop out and place and use a save point frequently so you dn't lose more than 2-3 minutes by reloading the last restore point, don't hit hazardous plants on edge but take them face on to avoid one set of issues... and just take a break when you're too fed up

[solemn bane]

After my last round, I think maybe the way to go is take it fast and save often. Since my physics issues seem to be completely unavoidable, may as well punch it.

That was with spider legs though, it's probably a nightmare with wheels. Eh, guess I'll check.

Oh and don't save on inclines, lol.

[azure jasper]

Man I walked around for like 2 hours not realizing the dang Tree was the last mineral.

[solemn bane]

Just made it back to the processing plant from Checkpoint 1 with 33 special waste saving along the way. Only lost 1. Zero physics glitches. It's a damn miracle.

Well that's not true. When I have that mutch waste in my collosus, it always creeps forward when I'm not in it, lol. That makes processing the waste a little weird.

[indigo falcon]

that's more than I carry but I never doubled up. I did want to fill or mostly fill the one layer though, otherwise things rattle around too much

[solemn bane]

Yeah I did my special waste respawn trick and it worked exactly the same. First as full respawn, then a partial respawn, then exactly 1 special waste respawned.

Now I'm at Checkpoint 2, I've been loading up all the radioactive and toxic waste and blasting the rest out of the heap (since I finished explosive in one go). I then save and reload at the waypoint until waste stopped reloading and ended up with this:

Also worth noting, save and reloading at the first waste heap waypoint ended up completing Roadsigns for me, lol

Made it back with 17 special waste. Picked up two along the way. Lost none. Amazing. It's like the game knows I am saving frequently so it's not bothering to try to fuck me over anymore, lol.

And that makes the explosive and toxic 16's done by Checkpoint 2. I'm amazed 😆

[thick aurora]

finally got this expedition done, those mechanical legs for the colossus were a lifesaver

[marsh haven]

the xbox is clearly super passive wrt physics because ... zero loss was never a problem. i did use the caterpillar wheels at the back. no idea if the wheel style makes any difference but

[solemn bane]

After collecting the 4 radioactive waste I needed for 16/16/16, I blasted the rest away but no more would respawn at Checkpoint 3's heap. Still no idea what makes it respawn.

[karmic juniper]

I believe it's time based but it should also be able to be found in random piles across the world

Unless you're on the part where you have to have a specific amount from a specific heap

[solemn bane]

I believe it's time based

Nope. It rspawned three times at Checkpoint 1 by saving and reloading on two different saves, worked a few times at Checkpoint 2 as well, then zero times at Checkpoint 3.

[marsh haven]

its going to be time based because thats just how nms is. the world always, eventually, resets to its base state.

[solemn bane]

Except it's literally not, according to the above testing.

The fact that exactly one special waste respawned on the third reload on two saves in a row probably indicates something

[marsh haven]

nms keeps a cache of changes to the world. each new change you make pushes stale items out. So if you do a lot of digging over here. digging you did "over there" gets undone. if you want more items to respawn in the base, you need to wander off into the wilderness to disturb other things. standing still in one place will converge on a stable cache and nothing will respawn.

[solemn bane]

All I did was save and reload, that's it.

[marsh haven]

exactly.

the nms state cache has been too buggy to even preserve the items in a refiner if you stumble too far. its not... the most stable or sane system to try and deal with.

[solemn bane]

Sounds like you're coming around to the idea that it's not based entirely on time.

[marsh haven]

its not. its based on stale entries being removed from the state cache.

[solemn bane]

lol, well good of you to correct yourself I guess.

[ornate mountain]

Can anyone share a portal code for the or a planet in the expedition system please?

[solemn bane]

My pinned comment has it: #nms-expedition message

[ornate mountain]

Omg thank you! Also, special waste is often in the random piles that don't call themselves special industrial waste

[solemn bane]

Oh I know, I'm just trying to figure out how/why waste heaps respawn a bunch of times in a row vs not at all.

[ornate mountain]

I had 6 radioactive missing and only 2 show up on the waste facilities so I literally tralled around my processing plant until I found six randos

[ornate mountain]

I think it's rng

Same as freighter classes when you save one or defeat a pirate one

[solemn bane]

I would agree, if I didn't get the same cadence of respawns on two saves in a row

[ornate mountain]

Do you know if the respawn was in the save you loaded already? And how many points of data are we talking because most of the waste heaps had five toxic two radioactive and 6-7 explosive waste

[solemn bane]

I was just saving, reloading, and putting all the special waste in my collosus. At Checkpoint 1 I got more than enough explosives to finish the 16 explosives milestone. After the third reload it stopped respawning, so I'm thinking the number of waste in the area has some effect. Testing that bit now.

[indigo falcon]

I have to guess thare's some sort of built in failsafe, but that seems very tricky on hg's part

[solemn bane]

Yeah I was thinking there was maybe something in there keeping track of the reloads you've done, but then Checkpoint 3 gave me zero respawns so 🤷‍♂️

[sleek wraith]

I'm curious, has anyone kept track of roughly how many nanites per minute they've tended to get when repeatedly doing Industrial Waste processing for 30+ minutes at a time (either with or without the Autocollect, which supposedly reduces the nanite yield)?

I know the distance between Processing sites & Waste Heaps can apparently vary wildly, but with the long respawn times presumably you can't rely on them being close if you want to do a bunch of Waste processing in a single session.

[indigo falcon]

I doubt anyone's tried that sort of testing because other nanite accumulation methods are so much more efficient

[solemn bane]

I would have to get very inventive to come up with a worse way to make nanites

[sleek wraith]

That makes sense, that's the general impression I've gotten.

I'm increasing the amount they give you in a mod, but am trying to fine-tune just how much to increase it by.

[solemn bane]

Yeah so Checkpoint 5 also respawned less and less until it went to zero respawns, leaving me with a haul lookin like this. So it's either based on time + the amount of junk in your rig, or time + the amount of junk you have pulled from that heap. I guess my next test could be the latter (just throwing all the waste out of the heap and reloading, not putting any in the truck)

I did try dumping all my waste and having it despawn then save/reload, but that didn't make anything respawn, so it seems like the latter is true.

[indigo falcon]

so if you grab some and it's destroyed, too bad for you? that's ... not great

[solemn bane]

No, if you grab all of it, then save and reload and grab all of it again, then save and reload and grab all of it again, then save and reload and grab all of it again, then it's destroyed, then too bad for you, lol.

[indigo falcon]

I guess if they give you several chances at each heap, it's not awful

[solemn bane]

IF you know the save/reload... maneuver. If not, I have a feeling you're gonna be waiting a looong time for respawns.

[indigo falcon]

it's gonna be our job to let people know then, isn't it

[solemn bane]

If it weren't for Checkpoint 3 not respawning any at all it'd just be in my pinned post right now, lol.

[true lintel]

True but thats pretty rare. Or at least it is for me. I only found that two times now. And I figured out i need a total of 48 for phase 5 anyways so I collected more.

[indigo falcon]

if you need another 10 pieces of one kind, you won't find that many in the small piles around a single waste heap, but if you need jusst 2-3, you might, I found the small piles helpful back on the main save when trying to collect all the customizations

[true lintel]

Well I need like 3 of radioactive ones but 10 of explosive ones because they always launch off the colossus when I drive and then roll away. Or I’m just bad at driving.

[indigo falcon]

if you find the small explosive ones shaped like oxygen tanks, and put them in near the front, you can fit a lot of those in and other larger items behind will help keep those from falling out too

assuming you don't wind up with the quicksand or flying colossus bugs

[true lintel]

That makes sense but I just always take all of the things I need.

[solemn bane]

Things got super dicey once I installed th three S class speed upgrades, but by then I was done with the 16/16/16 so it didn't really matter

[indigo falcon]

oh yeah... I never installed speed upgrades

[true lintel]

What always happens to me is that there is like a tiny hole or like ridge in the terrain which makes the colossus go down and go up again quickly which makes all the stuff launch up.

[true lintel]

But didn’t it take way longer then?

[solemn bane]

No because you don't lose your shit all the time. The motto of this expedition is: The Faster You Go, The Longer It Takes

[indigo falcon]

nah, I did 4 trips (I combined heaps 3 + 4), lost one item only, never stopped to pick anything up

this is probably the fastest expedition I've ever done, weirdly. but again I got lucky as to physics bugs

when I see a ridge I slow to a crawl, I recommend that you do the same.

[true lintel]

Huh, now I realize that I must have done something wrong. I stopped like twenty times to pick up things. And I already spent hours in the expedition and are not done

[true lintel]

Yeah I would but I never see them because it’s honestly kind of boring to just drive 15 minutes on the same planet in one direction so I don’t always look on the screen

[indigo falcon]

ah ha

my max travel time was 11-12 minutes from heap 5, the rest were all shorter than that

[true lintel]

Okay, weird. But one mistake I also did is that because I did the milestones in order, I always only took five special scrap at the last milestone of each phase except 5 because it told me to and I didn’t know you need more for phase 5.

[indigo falcon]

oh dear, yeah that would affect things

I had looked ahead so I took all the specials from heaps 1 and 2, then enough from 3 and 4 to complete explpsives and have one extra explosive (plus all the toxics and radioactives they had), then at 5 I could just load up on toxic and maybe 1-2 radioative, and fill the rest with regular scrap for stability, worked out ok

I have a habit of looknig through all the milestones, sometimes you can make the whole run a lot more efficient by combining them up or tweaking the order

gotta pack it in for the night, work tomorrow comes earlier as usual. safe journeys, travelers!

[azure jasper]

Just completed the expedition.

I wanted that Armour, it's perfect for the pirate esthetic.

[solemn bane]

Fixed an issue which caused vehicles to drive away without a driver.

lol, that's one way to put it.

[vague fractal]

So now new players to the expedition won't have the experience of needing to chase after their colossus as it speeds off into the distance? What a loss for them.

[eager fossil]

How much longer do we have for the expedition? I haven't started it yet because I've been so busy but I want to

[solemn bane]

You can check the Event calendar in this Discord for the schedule.

[eager fossil]

Duh, thanks! Lol

[violet cairn]

Is the expedition still going on?

[solemn bane]

You can check the Event calendar in this Discord for the schedule.

[violet cairn]

You can also say yes or no

[solemn bane]

yes or no

[violet cairn]

Lol

[solemn bane]

Confirmed: You can finish Road Signs by using the waypoint at the very first processing plant, reloading your restore point, then using the waypoint again and repeating. Pretty sure this is true as of one of the patches previous to today's.

(worked with multiplayer off and on)

[fierce jasper]

Are the colossus things expedition only? Idk how to get them in the normal save 💀

[marsh haven]

but why? you literally visit more than enough waypoints unless you go out of your way to not use them

[solemn bane]

To get movement upgrades right away. Also it's bugged for some people that hardly any of the waypoints register.

[solemn bane]

Some of the upgrades are only unlocked on th expedition. Others are only unlocked outside the expedition. For the outside ones, look for planets with Salvageable Scrap and use your collosus to scan for a Waste Processing Plant (you may need to build a scanner for it), then just follow the questline the console gives you. From there you will scrap 50 of each special waste and 200 waste total to get everything I think.

[fierce jasper]

Ah ty

[solemn bane]

ok, so, 3 saves in a row I was able to save & reload to make the special waste respawn. The third reload resulted in exactly one special waste respawning in every save.

Also, once I have that much shit in my truck bed (35 pieces in this case), my collosus still creeps away slowly

[solemn bane]

And made it back from Checkpoint 1 with 38 special waste. New PB, lol.

[solemn bane]

Same deal with Checkpoint 2. I can reload until I get around the same amount of scrap then it stops respawning.

Also save beacons still don't show up.

[buoyant lantern]

Finally finished the expedition. Was fun.

[frozen moon]

Man, its becoming tedious in phase5.

[indigo falcon]

ok this explains a question I've had for some time. I did the expedition in small bits,because work, and so I couldn't really take a several hour block to sit and play. so I'd get to a location, load up, save at waypoint, exit, do work, get back in, get to the plant, offload, save, exit, do work. at some point only partway through I got the roadsigns achievement and could not figure out why that was, when I knew I'd only been to 2 or 3 waste heaps, can't remember exactly. (mp off)

[indigo falcon]

take it slow, don't sleep on the small heaps of waste around becaue even if not labelled as special, they might have a special item in there, in case you are short a couple pieces. put down a save point and save every couple minutes, so you can reload from the most recent restore point if you do encounter a physics bug

[frozen moon]

@indigo falcon thanks bro, great idea!

[solemn bane]

Try not to make restore points on steep slopes. Reloading on those leads to very funny things happening to your collosus.

[frozen moon]

@solemn bane thanks will do!

[solemn bane]

While slinging waste around I noticed something kinda fun. If you attract a piece of waste that's kinda far away, then quickly turn a bit and click your repel button, it flies off real fast. That's it, that's the most fun you can have with the grav gun. Enjoy.

Spose that'd work for sentinels, too. Forgot to test that.

[frozen moon]

@solemn bane

[solemn bane]

hi

[frozen moon]

@frozen moon 👍

[fickle topaz]

guys how i can lunch the expedition with friend?

[wraith junco]

Both have to have save with expedition and then join group

[iron bone]

The physics issues are just annoying as all get out! Have folks found it is less of an issue with fewer items in the truck bed or with more? It seems the physics issues never happen when I

I'm in route to a salvage location to get stuff and only happen when I'm headed back to the yard to scrap it.

And most of the time, the issues are the truck when it tries to crest over a sharp hill or mountain. But in my case that is where the expo started me off. So all of my waypoints thus far are on the side of a large mountain range. Ugh...

[ancient pebble]

How do you lower the bed on the colossus truck? Somehow I dumped all the cargo

[iron bone]

I assume it is the same for everyone on where they start though?

There is a spot on the back of the bed where you can select to dump the cargo. Depending on the surface you are on, it will either just spill out around the truck or in most cases for me, it seems to just disappear into the ground.

So I've been jumping into the bed to offload the materials manually one by one into the various recyclers.

[ancient pebble]

ok found it thanks

[obsidian zinc]

Press the same button again

[indigo falcon]

for me, I was in single player, loaded the bed with one layer of stuff only, didn't stuff every last corner but kept the layer relatively full, I think I had max 17 or 18 pieces, drove pretty slow (no speed upgrades) and never encountered a physics bug, but a lot of that could have been luck. when I get near the top of an incline I need to cross over, I go very very slowly

and often at an angle so I'm not doing an abrupt drop to the other side where, with no brakes, the vehicle can just start accelerating. but I have heard from other players that at an angle is the worst for them, so who knows...

[vague fractal]

For me it was straight over the ridges, then swing the camera around as it starts to tip to the other side and tap "forward" while looking back as a means to brake without brakes. Between going slowly, choosing the "grey scar" routes where possible, and a big scoop of luck, I only had one disaster where the ground tried to eat the truck.

[raw drum]

I would love to have the chance to complete expeditions 10 and 11. I missed those ones sadly.

[plain tusk]

I never finished a single expedition, I always do like 4 parts, and then I get bored.

[raw drum]

I’ve finished every single one except those two

[plain tusk]

I dunno, the game is honestly kinda bad and shallow. There's a ton of things, but nothing to do.

Like you have a million options, and all of them are kinda boring and pointless.

[raw drum]

I’m a space case, so no man’s sky is right up my alley

[plain tusk]

Me too, but honestly you barely do much with the space aspect. Space is kind of just the filler between planets.

[vague fractal]

I mean, playing a game (at least on and off) for years, there must be something about it you don't find boring and pointless. 🤔

(I started last week with this expedition, so I'm still in the "everything is new to me" phase.)

[plain tusk]

The core concept is there. But it's just... I dunno. It always feels the same, nothing feels meaningful. It's entertaining for a few hours and then I always wonder: "Why am I even playing this?"

But don't let my negative view on the game sour your enjoyment. It's just how I feel about it, and I'm happy for anyone who finds fun and enjoyment in it.

[ashen turret]

I finished the expedition but now I'm trapped under my corvette with nowhere I can move to get out ... suggestions?

never mind, it popped me back up into the vehicle after I restarted the game

[naive urchin]

Game was designed for scale over quality and they are slowly catching up with the quality part with consistent updates so yeah it can get boring but so does every game. Also if you have good graphics then just planet hopping and finding new planets is actually interesting.

[grim lynx]

guys which mineral am i missing

[solemn bane]

Probably one of the ones mentioned in my pinned post: #nms-expedition message

[fast burrow]

I give up with this expedition.

-100/10.

• The truck is SLOW AS HELL and the locations are 15~ minutes away, 30 mins total since you need to go and return.
• The planet terrain is AWFUL. Incredibly steep mountains and uneven terrain.
• Because of the previous point, if the junk you collect falls off, it will roll down for kilometers.
• Not only the trash heaps of stage 2,3,4 are awful, stage 5 requires you to recycle 16 of each type of junk.
• There is a deep cave system, with small holes everywhere, so you truck can fall inside them.

The whole thing is just frustrating.

I cannot imagine why would anyone enjoy to travel on a slow truck in almost 90º steep slopes for 20-30 minutes hoping the trash doesn't fall off or the truck doesn't fall into a deep cave system because there was a small hole hidden because of the un-even terrain.

Unlike all previous expeditions, this one is the definition of tedious.

[rotund obsidian]

How long is left on the expedition?

[crude comet]

Seriously like they’re usually kinda tedious but this one just isn’t fun

[wraith junco]

For me it was not that bad. It was a test of patience tho.

[solemn bane]

I eventually had some fun by trying to figure out how all the bugs worked.

[fickle ferry]

YES I'M DONE

[remote thunder]

congrats!

[solemn bane]

I wonder if I can fit how to cheese that milestone into my pinned post.

[radiant cove]

So I'm trying to finish my expedition right, I just need to collect various special wastes and I need the closest heap to be marked. The thing is whenever I scan with my Colossus it just marks the last waste heap which is 12 minutes away

I just want the first heap

[remote thunder]

if you'd like we could get gunter to post that info (it can bypass the char post limit), and then pin that instead, but you'd then have to ping one of us to make changes. just offering, it's up to you ofc 🙂

[solemn bane]

I just realized the save beacons are broken anyway, so I had plenty of characters after deleting that point, lol.

[remote thunder]

previously visited waste heap icons might still be in your compass/visor, if you're still playing the same session

[radiant cove]

Yeah sadly not the same session

[remote thunder]

well, 12min isn't too far away, and you might find others on the way - remember to keep quick scanning and using visor to see if you can find specialist industrial waste icons especially, but even just regular industrial waste can sometimes have 1 specialist waste of random type

[solemn bane]

FYI if you're familiar with melee dashing, you can put your movement upgrades in supercharged slots and move faster than your collosus, which will make getting there a little faster. Also scan and keep an eye out for the blue plants that give your rocket pack a big boost.

[radiant cove]

Ok

[fickle ferry]

have some time to kill so I'm doing some nekus missions and now I am out of the star syetum HA

[remote thunder]

cool exp in the station, hadnt noticed

[placid wolf]

I really enjoyed it. But ngl it did help that I was calling with a friend while we did it together. And I was in vr

Doing it without someone to chat s### with would've been painful

[fickle ferry]

I found this on one of the planets sentinel pillar. it is on Ziusan Z47 cardiants are +6.70 -0.82

[pure basalt]

I did one that was 45 minutes away lol

As a tip, stop at trash along the way back if you spot specials and toss them in, so even if you lose one you still have enough

[rocky leaf]

great tip I would put specials on bottom and covered it with big pieces of regular scrap. if things bounced it was far more likely it was my regular scrap

[solemn bane]

An alternative way to do that is to go to a heap, put all the special waste in your collosus, then save and reload your restore point and put all the newly respawned special waste in your collosus and repeat. I usually get around 35 pieces doing that. Then as you're (carefully) driving back, throw down a save beacon and make restore points in safe places (not on steep inclines) along the way in case you get a massive spill.

[radiant cove]

Yeah so the first have didn't work, I destroyed all the special waste and saved and reloaded but nothing respawned

Half*

[solemn bane]

Which waste heap was it? Also I never tried just destroying it, only putting it in my collosus, and the regular waste I just shot into the distance

[rocky leaf]

That last part ended up emptying my entire load for me had to start over from scratch had over 25 pieces of special waste. so ymmv

[solemn bane]

So reloading a restore point made your scrap vanish?

Wait, that rings a bell

e: nope, that was some other bug

[rocky leaf]

yes- for me it did.

[solemn bane]

lol, amazing. multiplayer off I assume?

[marsh brook]

What's the current expedition? new one?

[solemn bane]

Truckin Sim 2k26

[solemn bane]

Is it possible you reloaded an autosave rather than a restore point? If it autosaved after your items spilled out, they would despawn if you were to reload the autosave, but anything actually in the collosus isn't supposed to despawn.

[marsh brook]

Still on the junk planet one?

[solemn bane]

yep

[indigo falcon]

expeditions during the year run for 5-6 weeks as a general rule, so it will be a while

[limber river]

Are you meant to sell the skulls in the expedition?

[remote thunder]

sure, just sell them

[limber river]

Okay thank you

[indigo falcon]

the cakes too. I guess some people consume those but, meh. more value by selling imo

[prime plover]

Can someone explain the ghost I'm seeing at the first location on the expedition

[dull matrix]

this expedition is actually so fire, i'm so happy i noticed it happening before it ended like what happened with almost every other one

[dull matrix]

the what?

[prime plover]

It's hard to explain 😩

[dull matrix]

send a picture then

[solemn bane]

I assume you mean the translucent colossuses

[prime plover]

Yep translucent players translucent colossus's going around just a whole bunch of weird spectral stuff that I'm kind of curious

[dull matrix]

Ohhhh

[solemn bane]

It's so they aren't in your way when you're doing stuff. But like, I guess they want you to know they are still there. In spirit.

[limber river]

What happens when you finish an expedition?

Like can you send your stuff home with you?

[solemn bane]

Yeah, if you started from an existing save.

[limber river]

Can I transfer Nanites or units earned?

[dull matrix]

i don't think so

[solemn bane]

Those transfer automatically.

Quicksilver, too.

[limber river]

Interesting interesting

What if it’s a different save?

[solemn bane]

Anything you leave behind is automatically sold.

[limber river]

Okay nice nice

[solemn bane]

You keep everything on that save, can't transfer.

[limber river]

Okay

Thank you! 🙏

[solemn bane]

Oh I forgot to check to see if animals poop again in the latest patch.

Maybe they been eating the new salvageable waste. Stuff is tough to pass.

[indigo falcon]

I could give that a check (outside of the expd) unless you're already doing it

[solemn bane]

If it's convenient, I'll have to check eventually for my site either way.

[indigo falcon]

feeding some now

8 fed, no poops. sad times

need anything else? otherwise I"m logging off again

[solemn bane]

I wish they would at least explode like pigeons

[indigo falcon]

oh I fed them by dropping a pellet into the middle of two separate groups

🎶 all the world seems in tune on a spring afternoon when you're poisoning pigeons in the park... 🎶

ok, logged off

[oblique bane]

I finished the expedition but my sister did not.
Is there a way for me (post-expedition save) to join her (in-expedition save)?

[muted loom]

when does the exposition end

[indigo falcon]

no, unfortunately the expedition saves are in a separate mode.

[indigo falcon]

check the event information for this discord to see the end date.

for me, in a web browser, it's on the top left above the list of channels.

[muted loom]

i’m on mobile

also i keep scanning for waste heaps and it says it’s detected but nothing pops up and i tried restarting my save

[indigo falcon]

I don't know where the indicators for events are on mobile. But it should say "happening now" and then "community expedition 21' and a button or something "event details" (something like that, I am translating, my ui is in a different language)

as to the waste heaps: do you have multiplayer off?

if not, you should set it off. then try save-exit-reload and see if scanning for a waste heap shows you the icon this time. it's awhite crane icon in the HUD

[vital scarab]

Should i do anything else before ending the expidition?

[indigo falcon]

if you started it from an existing save via the anomaly terminal, you could call in your ship, go to the anomaly, and transfer any tech that you don't yet have on your colossus on the main save, or something like that. but it's not really necessary

[vital scarab]

The blade and the cyclop can be recraft in main save right? Those are the only 2 im deciding to not bring

[indigo falcon]

you need to purchase those blueprints at the anomaly first but yeah

[vital scarab]

Alright thanks
Time to end this expidition
Fastest one i have ever run
Pretty fun too
Although its just trucking

[indigo falcon]

it was pretty fast for me too, but that really depended on how many physics or other bugs people ran into. I got lucky

[vital scarab]

I got that one time when i place a box and i guess it collided too much with the barrier and another box
Instead of dislodge itselft

It just completely accelerate my truck at mach 1
Thank fully it hit a cave nearby
All stuff went flying though lol

[indigo falcon]

that has supposedly been fixed in 6.24 which went around last night/today, but ... I'll believe it when I see it 😄

[muted loom]

i fixed it

yippie

then i rage quit

[indigo falcon]

I can't remember hearing "rage quit" so often in relation to an expedition

[thick aurora]

this is by far probably the most infuriating and unfun expedition

[tender tusk]

Breach was fun for me but pain for everyone else

[indigo falcon]

Breach was pretty great, I loved it

this one was middling. not awesome, not awful. but again, I didn't encounter many of the bugs other playersdid

[versed oriole]

Need space country music in the Colossus and this expedition would be 11/10.

[dapper fossil]

yo wtf the expedition is jsut driving around? i need 8 mins tot he next disposal, what is that xD

Bascally lol

[solemn bane]

[dapper fossil]

do i need the non colored ones too?

[solemn bane]

Not past the first few in the expedition

[dapper fossil]

accidentally when geting into my coloss pressed the unload button and all fell tot he ground...

if they wxplode is there a chain reaction or does only one get destroyed=?

[solemn bane]

I hear that can happen, but it never happened to me.

[dapper fossil]

this expeditions is awful 🙁

but ther armor is dope

[solemn bane]

yep, and also yep

[dapper fossil]

shoudl have gotten the mod thqat makes it faster and drive opn water

[lilac osprey]

How long does the expedition take to complete?

[dapper fossil]

video guide says under 3h liek always

[lilac osprey]

Is that realistic?

[dapper fossil]

jsut downlöoaded a 3x colossus speed mod, then yes

[lilac osprey]

On ps5 so no mods

[dapper fossil]

i started 3h ago but did a couple laying in bed breaks

casue that driving for 10 mins straight is super annoying

[lilac osprey]

But should maybe be doable in a day then

[dapper fossil]

yeah that ofc, mosly like 4h if youre slow

[lilac osprey]

Ok. Recommended to use a fresh save or my existing save?

[dapper fossil]

10x barrier seize and more speed makes it even fun now

[lilac osprey]

Out getting groceries right now. Will start when I get home then.

[spare badge]

legit just started and already i can tell this is pain

its so inefficient 😭

[solemn bane]

People complained smuggling contraband was too tedious and boring so they decided to make an expedition showing people how much worse it could be.

[dapper fossil]

id say its at least 2h jsut drivinf around and then a littel throwingf stuff around

ia lso didnt find a 8th mineral yet...

[solemn bane]

Probably one of the ones mentioned in my pinned post: #nms-expedition message

[dapper fossil]

all my barrels jsut exploded ^^

[solemn bane]

The faster you go, the longer it takes

[dapper fossil]

why are there so many hills on this planet and its not a flat one

[solemn bane]

Hilariously, after the expedition I found a very flat planet to get the other colossus customizations and no matter how slow I went my waste kept blasting out of my truck bed for no reason, something like this:

[dapper fossil]

hoiw do u get he other customizatios?

[solemn bane]

Outside of the expedition, find a planet with Salvageable Scrap, scan for a waste processing plant with the colossus, interact with the console and follow the questling, then scrap 50 of each special waste and 200 waste total. I think that gets everything.

[dapper fossil]

damn

im strugleing to get 16 radioactive (casue they explooded )

i hope my next one i scaned for after the checkpoonts has them

[solemn bane]

On the expedition it will only ever find one at a time. When you reach a Checkpoint it'll send you to the next one, then at the end it only finds the last one.

[dapper fossil]

and monolith is 6 m,ins away with the mod that makes me go multiple times faster already

[solemn bane]

You can skip it til after you get your ship and get there much quicker

[dapper fossil]

fuck didnt notice one yellow falling off now i am 1 of them short

this expedition is so stupid

can ciolored ones also spawn all over them ap at the random spawn locations?

[solemn bane]

Yeah, maybe like a one in four chance to get one?

Which ever one you need will be the rarest one in the planet.

[fringe agate]

Expedition character

[solemn bane]

That is a mess

[spare badge]

just started putting 3 trash after FINALLY building stuff to summon colossus and it just flung out of the world. great game

[fringe agate]

They are terrible

[solemn bane]

Sounds like you have the extra fun bug.

[spare badge]

think maybe its due to 50 people in the same area doing the exact same thing

there are just teleporting ghost mobiles and people everywhere

[solemn bane]

Probably. Disable multiplayer in the network settings.

[spare badge]

i could but that would be less fun

[lilac osprey]

Is it recommended to play the expedition on a separate save?

[remote thunder]

nah, not necessarily recommended, but let's say that you start and get a terrible spawn point, and idk, you just feel like starting over to get a new spawn point would be worth a shot: you can do that when starting from main menu, you cant do that if you started from existing character. starting from existing character lets you bring items and merge currencies back into primary character, which might be of some help

[lilac osprey]

I'm assuming that if I get any important items I could get the help of someone to get them back to my main save anyway, and currencies, I don't think I will get anything there I would want to hassle with

[vague fractal]

Expedition tricked me. When I left , I thought I'd still have the materials to build the colossus geobay and was confused when I couldn't. Not hard to get the extra materials, but I did not realize the expedition had lowered the amounts needed. 😆

[lavish zealot]

is this current expeditions rewards good as a new player or should i wait for the next

[vague fractal]

If you are asking whether you should play this expedition as a new player, I'd say yes based on my own experience. The expedition save became my main save and, other than needing to do a bit of extra starship repair, I seem to have a better setup coming out of it than I would at this point starting the game from scratch on a normal save.
(I did also start a normal save to get the full tutorial, just in case I needed the info.)

[robust ibex]

Goddammit.

[solemn bane]

If it makes you feel better, you can probably get there faster by melee dashing with your character's movement upgrades in supercharged slots and scanning/keeping a look out for deuterium plants.

[robust ibex]

hmm I see.
There is also waste heap 14 minutes away. Do i have to go to the marked one for it to count towards the objectives?

Yeah it has to be the Rendezvous marked one.

If its under 1h its fine.

[pure basalt]

Depends, if you want to experance the story at the start, no. If you want to skip the tutorial part of the story, and net yourself a small selection of decent gear then it fine. I personally completed the expedition in less than 8 hours.

[dapper fossil]

do we know if after this one they start with 1 again?

[languid spoke]

We never know when the next one starts, usually when Sean spams a lot on social media something is about to be released, either news-wise or content-wise.

That's usually when the hype channel appears more active in discord

[robust ibex]

Alright now that I finished the expedition.. what's the incentive to continue the truck driver occupation in my main save file? The nanite gain felt pretty low but those colossus modules may be worth it... gotta find a good planet to chill for that

[indigo falcon]

there are the customizations, other than that though, if this style of gameplay/roleplaying a space trucker doesn't appeal to you, you will probably find other things to do instead

[near dome]

Hi chat I’m about to start the new expedition and without spoilers does anyone have any tips for when I start?

[indigo falcon]

multiplayer off, you don't have access to the anomaly untl the end of the expedition, drive slowly and save often, that's it

[vague fractal]

turn multiplayer off beforehand if you have it on. everyone in the same spot on the same planet causes...troubles 😁

[indigo falcon]

also there are pinned posts about the expd in this channel that may be useful, have a look

(and especially: review all milestones in all phases before you get started)

[lusty slate]

Boost slowly, in gentle spurts to get up cliffs and then slowly coast down the other side.

[near dome]

Also as a side note I’ve have refused to spoil anything about this expedition so I’m going in this blind wish me luck (also I’m playing this on VR)

[leaden glen]

I think I'm done. I can't finish this expedition, the incesent back and forth on mountain sides, bumby terrain and the cargo jumping all around, this is getting me nauseous... First time I just can't physically play a game, it's getting my sick.

[candid cargo]

I am a huge NMS advocate, I have played since day 1, but wtf is this expedition...

[near dome]

What do you mean?

[candid cargo]

Is the scraping stuff just for nanites? Waaaay better processes go get nanites so I don't get the point in this one.

[pure basalt]

It a roleplay update that showcases improved game engine physics

[whole smelt]

i kinda like this expedition

its a nice change of pace from all the fighting of other expiditions

not that the fighting is bad ofc

[elfin tendon]

is there a way to get a ship without having to travel the hour to the nearest trade outpost?

[charred needle]

Try and use the blue highways...a lot easier

[random canopy]

How's the new expedition / game mechanics so far? Literally haven't played NMS since the last newest expo, but i always come back to do the new ones. Playing on a series s if any xbox bros got some feedback.

complete phase 5 milestones (could do all check point missions first), you'll have access to your ship then

[near dome]

I drove through the ground….

[remote thunder]

oh no

sucks

[rancid hazel]

is there a way I can cheat the petrology? for god sake i cant find 2 minerals on the planet...

i hate time wasting tasks like these -.-'

[remote thunder]

try to look for terrain patches like these, look like dried up river beds or solidified magma flows - you're probably missing the two small pebbles there

[rancid hazel]

thanks i will try

[near dome]

What did I do?

All I did was hop out my truck to put stuff back in

[wise meteor]

Also one of the minerals looks more like a big tree. Took me a while to spot that one despite it's size

[dense basin]

I have loved every expedition in its own way. I love that HG uses them to teach us new things about the game or to push us outside our comfort zones. This one just felt a bit like pain for the sake of pain and honestly ruined my immersion a bit. We can bend gravity to pick up anything metal. We can drive up things that are virtually vertical (looking at you, Nomad). But somehow, we can't magnetize our truck's flatbed, or even manage to put a cap on it? Maybe some tiedowns? Basic tech we should have? Randomly losing half a load of cargo because my Colossus bed appeared to be greased made me want to cry. I often run expeditions more than once, but NOT THIS ONE!

Now that I've cried... I finished the expedition last week. Have things changed at all? I didn't see anything in the patch notes

I wanna go get titles but I don't want to cry more

[near dome]

Bud I have a new glitch for you for nomad, half of my cargo, just fell through my truck and just sink through the ground

[dense basin]

Ooh, fun!

[near dome]

Now I have to drive 15 minutes back to the waste heap

[copper wraith]

i'm so frustrated.... the Waste Processing Plant doesn't show on my radar now (i guess I wandered out a bit last night) and I can't get back. I'm supposed to build the thing that lets me build my vehicle but anywhere I try and but it says I don't have edit permissions anywhere

Ah it finally let me build in a random spot

Hey all I’m at the nexus and it says there is no expedition available?

[indigo falcon]

did you fully exit the last one you ran?

are you on line and connected to discovery services?

[signal night]

I think I did? Definitely online but will check discovery services right now! Is that in settings?

[indigo falcon]

no, but you can look at the dcsovery tab, in the lower left it should tell you if you're connected

[signal night]

I had multiplayer turned off, would that affect it?

nope, that's just fine and is in fact recommended

[signal night]

Ahhh I see it says I am online and discovery services are active

hmm. what platform are you on?

On ps5, just quit the game gonna try and see if logging out and in fixes it

you could make sure it's fully updated too, that sometimes will reset things if there's a problem

That’s a good idea gonna try that now since logging out and In didn’t work thank you

[quartz moon]

meow

i love nms

but this expedition tested my patience istg

[wraith junco]

Not only yours

[remote thunder]

it tested mine t- nah.

😅

[indigo falcon]

I think the reason y'all didn't have patience is that the expedition stole it from you and gave it to me, I had no problems at all...

[solemn bane]

Even without the bugs it's a bunch of boring-ass driving in the space ship flying game. Oh and melee dashing is faster than the truck they give you, lol.

Even in a ship the concept of transporting goods (smuggling contraband) was explored, and it's pretty boring.

I did end up having a good bit of fun trying to figure out how all the bugs worked, though. I guess the game is what you make of it.

[remote thunder]

hey, that's the sandbox part of it 😅

[solemn bane]

That's the excuse, anyway.

[indigo falcon]

I still want to know where the space convoy videos are

[leaden glen]

Yeah, that how I was able to advanced through most of the phases. I'm actually trying to finish the last one, and the heaps I can scan are all scattered so far away, my patience to find those "roads" had kind of ran out 🤷‍♂️

[solemn bane]

Wait, it's giving you different heaps when you scan?

Or do you just have multiple ones on your visor?

[floral raven]

hello every1, can any 1 help me my inventory is full and i cant reach any trading center, and i cant build my own base, so any 1 can tell me how to sell what i have any ideas?

[solemn bane]

You can put stuff in your colossus, at some point you get a trade rocket, or you can just delete stuff since the units you'll get from selling won't be very meaningful anyway.

[floral raven]

both inventory are full

[solemn bane]

Keep reading

[floral raven]

and i cant make a rocket

[solemn bane]

One more

[floral raven]

thank you anyway

[slow swift]

anyone else find tihs expedition kinda annoying

[solemn bane]

yep

[slow swift]

its a cool concept

but the collosus takes FOREVER TO GET ANYWHERE

[fading geode]

literally quit the expedition js bcz one of my toxic wastes fell off and i cba to get it back

[slow swift]

it didnt save after i deposited it

BACK TO THE SCRAP HEAP I GO

[hazy sparrow]

Holy fajita, does the colossus even have brakes? Is there a way to stop your #$%# from bouncing out? I'm living off restore points here. And yes, I am trying to drive slow and careful, but this planet is swiss cheese
Edit: lol I just had 4 crates fall out just loading a restore point. Make that 6, I found 2 others.

[solemn bane]

If you just need one, you can find them in the random piles sometimes. Of course if you do need one it will suddenly become the rarest thing on the planet.

[solemn bane]

does the colossus even have brakes?

If you count "backwards" as brakes. Otherwise no. What do you think this is, a driving game?

As for the bouncing, yeah it's pretty much just save points, but avoid saving on inclines or you can load back in with your colossus stuck in the gound and your waste scattered about the place.

[slow swift]

you say that then i find one instantly

[hazy sparrow]

I stumbled across a monolith but it didn't count for Sandstone. I take it it has to be THAT monolith that radar points out?

[indigo falcon]

shouldn't need to be, was it one with three knowledge stones? or maybe it was the other type of monolith?

[solemn bane]

Select the milestone maybe?

[hazy sparrow]

It was the ball one that offers language or alien site

[hazy sparrow]

I selected the milestone, then did the radar scan. It pointed to one across God's country rather than the one right beside me lol.

[indigo falcon]

so like these ones? https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Ancient_Plaque?file=Anms_plaque.jpg

[hazy sparrow]

Yeah but with a ball (since Korvos?) instead of a pyramid.

[indigo falcon]

uh huh. you need the other kind, hat's why it didn't count

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Monolith?file=Buildings.monolith.png like these ones with the three knowledge stones

[solemn bane]

Weird. either way just skip it til you have your ship after Phase 5 and fly there in a few seconds.

[candid cargo]

We can travel galaxies but I guess never heard of a load securing strap...

[indigo falcon]

blame the atlas

[solemn bane]

Or magnets. What? This? Oh, this is a GRAV gun. Totally different.

[leaden glen]

Just one. If I scan back to back I just get the same one

[hot blade]

Ayo, whos expeditions is this?

[solemn bane]

Yours, if you are willing to take it.

[hot blade]

Nah, y’all can keep this one

I got two radioactive wastes left and then I’m never touching the colossus again

[hazy sparrow]

I'm hoping they add a salvage add-on to corvettes

[solemn bane]

Or something useful

The grav gun has a lot of pontetial, I hope they focus on that.

[slow swift]

chat do i need more stuff in here

yeah thats better

[solemn bane]

Yeah. If you save and reload your restore point a lot of the waste should respawn and you can load more. Works about three times before it stops respawning. I was able to get about 35 pieces each time. Lead to some precarious-ass moments.

Also picked up two or three pieces on the way.

[lusty slate]

I never put more than 18 on mine.

[spare badge]

omg i was just putting some cargo that fell off and my truck suddenly went off at mach 3 while throwing off all my other cargo.....i was horrified thinking some AI took over controls.

[jagged trellis]

I’ve run into this too. Seems to happen to me most when the waste is pushing the boundaries/near the edges.

[solemn bane]

lol, another fix that didn't quite work I guess.

[spare badge]

are the spider legs thingy even worth to use? ive heard its quite buggy

[gray plaza]

They were fixed in the first patch after the update. I don't use anything else and haven't had any issue

[spare badge]

is it practical?

[jagged trellis]

They seem the most stable to me. I definitely lose less waste using them.

Probably my imagination about the stability, but I like ‘em

[hazy sparrow]

Petrology says I need to discover 8 minerals. So far I can only find 5, which include the cobalt stalactites and stalagmites. Any tips? Or just go to another planet at the end?

[solemn bane]

Could be some of the ones mentioned in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message

[hazy sparrow]

Found 'em. Gotta remember to read the pins!

[kind pasture]

any tips to make the phase 5 toxicity, irradiated cargo and volatile payload milestones easier

[granite stratus]

I the only one that stays behind in the expedition instance and hasn't returned to my normal game yet

[signal night]

Finding these last 2 minerals is killing me

Looking at pins now

[hazy sparrow]

You should be able to find enough at each of the checkpoints if you carry all the red, yellow, and green back each time. If you are short a few (like I was due to a save mistake on my part), then use scan on your Colossus (after installing the upgrade you get) and it will point out random scrap across the world (little green barrel icons) that will often contain a colored container and not just all be the magnetic junk.

[kind pasture]

ok thx

[hazy sparrow]

Got me too. The tough one is there is a tree that is actually a mineral.

[signal night]

I appreciate that heads up I’ll keep an eye out for that now just need 1 more now thanks to the pin realized I was missing one cave one

[solemn bane]

Once you load up on special waste at a waste heap, you can save and reload your game and more will respawn. You can do this multiple times until it stops respawning. From there you can carefully go back to the processing plant (I recommend not using any speed upgrades) while saving with a save beacon along the way. Don't save on steep inclines as loading your colossus on one can cause some pretty hilarious bugs.

[hazy sparrow]

I was not able to get that to happen, even when exiting the client and restarting the game. I am set to single-player, though.

[solemn bane]

I'm sure there's a lot of weird-ass logic tied to it, but it worked for me on the first waste heap 3 saves in a row. On a couple other saves it kept working, but on waste heap 3 it didn't work at all.

[hazy sparrow]

That might be in, I think I was on 5 when I tried it.

[solemn bane]

Spose I could test it offline, since I've tested everything else

5 worked for me the one time I tested it. Of course since I was doing it at every heap, I was waaaaay done with the 16/16/16 milestones

[hazy sparrow]

My gaff was dumping the stuff on the ground, logging off for the night, then logging back on the next day to find it all gone. I've gotten too used to playing the Windrose demo I guess lol, which for right now preserves everything you drop indefinitely.

[solemn bane]

lol yeah, anything on the ground will despawn between reloads as well (that's why I grab all the regular waste and shoot it away)

[hazy sparrow]

Got some strange bugs dealing with sentinel agro and not being able to get back in my colossus until I lost aggro. This coincided with completing an objective in the middle of the fight, resulting twice in being able to claim the milestone loot before being notified of milestone completion.
I also had an issue where I could not interact with loot crates after using save beacons sometime (reloading fixed this).
Definitely some strange glitches with this expedition, but yo-yoing sentinels was hilarious.

Anyway, bedtime, done except for selling off. Thx as always for the help, @solemn bane

[solemn bane]

Save/reloading to respawn waste works online, offline, multiplayer on and off at waste heap 1

Ayy new PB from waste heap 1, lol.

[vague fractal]

I had the ship appear after completing the milestones in Phase 5.

[jagged trellis]

I had trouble finding the last one. There are some little flat-ish round rocks in the dried up riverbeds - slight dip in terrain and they are an almost uniform medium grey color.

The riverbeds are grey I mean.

Your ship is automatically repaired to a usable state and given enough fuel to be summoned and take off upon completing the final phase

[pure basalt]

I had the best luck in scrap yards for rads. Plus I stopped at every scrap heap on my way through checking for special waste

[shy dagger]

how long is this expedition?

[remote thunder]

6weeks, down to less than a month now

[shy dagger]

no i mean, how much time does it require

is it a quick one or a long one

[pure basalt]

I personally did it in between 8 to 10 hours solo

[shy dagger]

damn

longer than usual for sure

[jade wren]

It's luck based on how far apart your heaps are when you spawn. Some people do it in as little as 4 hours. I'm up to 20 hours and not done yet.

[shy dagger]

WHAT

[pure basalt]

Well one of my missions bugged and wanted me to drive 45 minutes away in the dump trunk

Lol

[jade wren]

Yeah, my processing plant is over an hour away from all the waste heaps

[pure basalt]

Rip

Hit every random trash pile

[remote thunder]

if you turn off internet after making sure you can start expedition, you'll most like have no trouble doing it

[shy dagger]

wut

[steel tiger]

this is the worst edpidition ive ever played. its soo tedious and frustrating. i cant build a geobay anywhere because there are 20 bases at spawn. everyone online tell me "just turn off multiplayer" im trying to play with friends and none of us can proceed

[shy dagger]

honestly i have never experienced multiplayer in this game

but it feels like it's kind of badly developed in some way

[pure basalt]

Only problem I had with the exp is if one of the big critters is lagging and it phases through your truck. It will sign up all the scrap in your truck for space program.

[steel tiger]

i literally cannot proceed because there are too many bases

[simple bloom]

This Expedition is a test of patience...

[pure basalt]

I had to deal with zero bases xD

A lot of random floating decoration though

[steel tiger]

that vid makes me want to commit acts of violence

[pure basalt]

Yeah this exp is very anti-adhd and leaning on the boost button is pretty punishing

My suggestion is only use boost if your truck has stop moving and only tap it

[charred needle]

ZenPedition; smooth is fast and you get really handy using this multitool function. Stay calm when you spread the barrels down the hill after hitting that hole. Reel them in and move on.

[elfin tendon]

i am missing ONE MINERAL

I've scanned everything I've found on the surface, and everything I've found underground

[signal bear]

There’s two in the caves, and two that are small that are usually in the grey cracked ground areas. One prism like and another small round one

[elfin tendon]

probably missing one of the grey ones, thx

[signal bear]

Look in this type of area

Hmmm I really thought that would just reply lol. It’s a previous media post in this thread

[elfin tendon]

lol

dw

[candid cargo]

I was missing one and it turned out to be one of the tiny rocks on the surface lol

[molten leaf]

I missed the snake looking tree thing that for some reason is a rock, is it that one?

Hello
Someone explain what is expediton is

[wraith junco]

Time limited event where u do series of tasks for cosmetic rewards

Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players ( ) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

[frigid solstice]

How long does it take to do all the task

[wraith junco]

At average 6-8 h

[frigid solstice]

Thanks

[molten leaf]

This exp actually makes me feel like a long haul semi driver where if i drop my scrap i will be brought yo financial ruin

[cinder zinc]

Any tips on doing roadsigns?

[wraith junco]

Patience . A lot of it

[cinder zinc]

my bad I guess I deleated the part where I said roadsigns

[molten leaf]

Get forward grip upgrades for truck

Yeah i need help with roadsigns too

[cinder zinc]

where can I get wireloom because the closest trade is an hour away

[molten leaf]

Deconstruct the preinstalled grip modual

It has -50% forward grip

From memory

[wraith junco]

Dismantle a module

[teal jetty]

so i scanned all the animals before getting the cyclops scanner... am i screwed?

[wraith junco]

Game should autocomplete the task

[molten leaf]

Nothing could go wrong with my 21 cargo right?

[wraith junco]

Only one way to find out

[molten leaf]

I like that logic

Waste plant is 21 mins away 😭

Ik thats nothing to others but its still annoying

[wraith junco]

10-30min away is normal

[molten leaf]

Guess i have been super lucky

[hazy sparrow]

What ship appears? I found a wreck very near the waste processing plant at the very beginning of the game, a hauler. Is that it? It sat there the whole expedition, and I summoned it when I was done.

[molten leaf]

None previous have been more than 10

[molten leaf]

I found out

[vague fractal]

Probably, yes. I think I did run across it earlier, but it could not be used and had no icon. Also, the ship's design seems to be randomized since a 2nd expedition save had a different ship in the same spot.

[hazy sparrow]

I was able to get in the ship at the very beginning of the expedition and, I assume, repair things as it was prompting me to. Yet after finishing phase 5 all the core systems were repaired when I summoned it. So yeah, that probably is it.

[jaunty kite]

Hey could anyone help a noob (me) with the expedition lol

[hazy sparrow]

What's the question? Did you check the pinned message? This expedition is very easy.

[jaunty kite]

I have just never done it before im doing well right now but i cant find and copper anywhere

[hazy sparrow]

You should not need copper. If you are looking to make chromatic metal, you can make it from Emeril as well.

[jaunty kite]

Your right i was confusing copper with carbon lol

[hazy sparrow]

If you get stuck, Aiming4Gaming posts excellent walkthroughs on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Aiming4Gaming/comments/1r33qiq/nms_remnant_expedition_21_in_3_hours_full_guide/

Starting out, though, you just gotta manually mine the carbon and oxygen. Lots of hazardous flora for O2 here.

[jaunty kite]

Thanks i think ive got it i was pretty confused at first tho

[hazy sparrow]

Same which is why I lean on the walkthroughs lol

[cinder zinc]

Is the the speed capped at 91 I can't seem to get any higher without boost

[hazy sparrow]

The colossus? Don't know, but you be aware you do NOT want to be going fast with with a full load, it will bounce out. Handy for getting there, but useless getting back. I never installed anything past the B modules.

[cinder zinc]

I just do all the hauling first and now I'm doing the rest

[elfin tendon]

ship literally isn't repairable on this planet

smh

[solemn bane]

It'll fix itself after completing Phase 5

[elfin tendon]

I just beat phase 5

all it repaired was the stuff that said "beyond repair"

I completed the entire expedition

[solemn bane]

Oh I see what you're saying, yep.

[elfin tendon]

time to travel for over an hour to get to the nearest trade outpost

[solemn bane]

It'll still fly

[elfin tendon]

wait rlly?

[solemn bane]

yep

[dim elm]

I need help finding all 8 minerals, here's what I got:

[solemn bane]

Check the ones in my pinned comment: #nms-expedition message

[elfin tendon]

got a really cool solar ship from the trade outpost

and it came as an A class

[dim elm]

🙏 ty

[lament garden]

Was watching the video about getting the expedition done quicker. He says to just scan every creature for Safari and does it on foot but the milestone says from an Exocraft(?). Am I missing something?

[solemn bane]

Nope.

It's a failsafe.

[lament garden]

Ah, alright. I saw someone had the issue where they already scanned stuff on here and mentioned restarting so I panicked.

[elfin tendon]

Glad I finally got the expedition done

[solemn bane]

The milestone to scan six creatures CAN bug out and just soft lock you, but that's pretty rare.

[lament garden]

Appreciate the reassurance. Also, major ❤️ for the ability to do all Expeditions at our leisure.

[hazy sparrow]

As part of completing all the milestones you should be given 12 repair kits. Between crafting and repair kits I was able to repair all the systems on my ship

[elfin tendon]

Oh yeah, that would make sense lol

[hazy sparrow]

Does anyone know if it is possible to sell your ship at the space station then somehow get to the anomaly to finish the expedition? The only think I can think of is to sell it then buy a cheaper ship, but I'm not going to to scrap that hard for a couple million credits lol.

Well that expedition was different, much more low-stress and I liked that.

[lament garden]

trash that looks like it has two of the icons combined; do i throw it in either coloured hole or ... ?

[weary glen]

does anybody know how to fix the roadsigns bug? I tried to reload the game, even went offline but still no progress

[hazy sparrow]

Not seen that. There's red containers (booms), yellow containers (rads), and green/grey containers with green labels (toxic). If it's just grey it's regular trash and goes in the furnace at the end.

[lament garden]

It was like a fuel jug that was half green, half yellow. I just threw it into the green and it worked tho. 🤷‍♂️

[hazy sparrow]

I've done the expedition, do I have to process waste again on my main save to unlock the flatbed?

[solemn bane]

Yep, just one though. Start the quest at a processing plant's console

[hazy sparrow]

Plant did not start a quest, just asked if I wanted to process what was on scale. I shot some waste into the furnace and processed from the scale, still no flatbed option.
Log has a quest objective that says Install a Flatbed module, but it's not an option from the colossus bay.
Update: quit and restarted the game, added the scoop and cyclops and a couple of engine boosts and it seemed to unlock. I'm guessing you need to toss a certain number of regular waste into the furnace to unlock it.

[solemn bane]

I'm guessing it bugged out because you put waste in the colossus and put it on the scale. When I did it, I just went to a Salvageable Waste planet, installed a scanner on my colossus, found a processing plant and went directly to the console which started me with the grav gun quest, then attract/repel, then process one scrap, which unlocked the bed.

[tepid ravine]

when do i get to use my starship in ts i do not wanna go to 6 different locations all 20 mins apart on a truck

this might be the worst expedition yet

[solemn bane]

After you complete Phase 5, so...

If you know how to melee dash, that's probably faster than taking your truck to the waste heaps.

[tepid ravine]

alr ima do that then

im genuinely abt to just use save editor and just get everything

[jaunty kite]

How do i re orientate sentinals

[solemn bane]

Attract and repel with your grav gun. You can just do that to one 32 times in a row quickly.

[jaunty kite]

Thanks i was so confused thats easy

[past juniper]

I think I just got the luckiest spawn ever cause I chilled the whole time the farthest waste dump checkpoint from me was like 12 minutes away

I just realized why everyone is hating this expedition 😭✌️

[gusty summit]

The planet has the topology of the Alps istg

[past juniper]

For some reason my waste never exploded out of my truck, but it did clip through the ground multiple times

Love getting the spider legs at stage FIVE … I was actually suffering

[solemn bane]

Everyone gets the same ones. Some people go on wild goose chaces and get pretty far out though.

[past juniper]

But it needs to be a challenge I gues

[past juniper]

how 😭😭😭😭

Or I mean why

This expedition was so relaxing and fun for me besides the constant fear of my truck merging into the ground

I’ll add that this update is the first in awhile that didn’t render the game unplayable for me so maybe that’s a factor in my enjoyment

[lament garden]

The pothole planet. Formed like a road in the US. I'm still enjoying myself tho

[gusty summit]

I finished it day 3 but I still go to the planet in normal mode sometimes

[past juniper]

Since when does discord have username fonts

[gusty summit]

Some Reddit user found the glyphs

[past juniper]

Wow

[gusty summit]

Omg I didn't notice

[past juniper]

This is the second person I’ve seen with one

[gusty summit]

I bet its some kind of nitro thing

[past juniper]

Definitely

Discord? Giving free members customization?

never in a million years

[gusty summit]

I just want a banner 😭😭

[past juniper]

Same but discord has to take my money over my dead body I’ll never pay a subscription for something as dumb as nitro

No shade to anyone w nitro do whatever u want with ur money….

[split forge]

Anyone looking for an extra? Im on xbox

[feral pelican]

I'm looking for some friends to VC with and get this expedition finished since this will actually be my first one

I've never actually started one until now since I was confused about them making me use a new character

[solemn bane]

FYI you can start one on an existing character at the expedition console in the Anomaly.

[feral pelican]

How? It made me go in with no gear?

If I switch back to main can I do it?

[solemn bane]

Yeah that’s the experience. You’re able to send stuff back to your primary save when you’re done.

[feral pelican]

How do that? From what I've gathered I have no ship

Does this expedition keep you from using one until you finish?

[solemn bane]

Yep, until phase 5 is done and you collect the phase reward.

[feral pelican]

Great, first expedition I do and it's American trucking simulator all over again 😭😭

I'm on phase 3 trying to complete roadsigns

[solemn bane]

Skip it until you have a ship. Just grab the waypoints along the way if you see any.

[feral pelican]

I can just do that?? Huh

[violet panther]

There is no ship obtaining until you finish the expedition

Unless there is some secret crazy way

[solemn bane]

Not the entire expedition, just phase 5.

[wraith junco]

Do phase 5 first

[split forge]

I've never done one myself. Sorry to notice the message so late

[woeful niche]

A few days ago I seem to remember someone posted a list of what was needed to unlock all the new Colossus options using the geobay. Does anyone have a link to it?

[solemn bane]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/979100431315796018/1475902427025903708/waste.jpg?ex=69a66cff&is=69a51b7f&hm=8b0f01a2c79c83c02c858af1c5905c46eedbe881fa5ab6edd8c57dd68829fdc8&=&format=webp&width=460&height=856

[woeful niche]

Thanks!

[vague fractal]

Not that I needed a ton of bones clogging inventory, but did they reduce the number you get in the milestone reward? I was afraid to claim it after seeing what other people got, but it turned out to be only 3 skulls instead of the entire contents of a fossil exhibit at the Smithsonian. 💀

[solemn bane]

yep

[granite marlin]

this is my first time doing an expedition, are all expeditions like this one or is this one randomly slow and all over the place compared to most? (talking about randomly scanning 8 minerals, having to kill sentinels just to throw 30 of them with the main update focus)

loving the colossus though, right up until everything flies everywhere because I hit a pothole and it has like 0 mass

[solemn bane]

Most of the expeditions have milestones that just seem like filler. Blow up some asteroids, kill some of these, scan some of those. But usually the traveling is done by ship, and you don't have to make 12-20 minute journies without anything really breaking it up.

[granite marlin]

ok, that's good to know that the filler is consistent at least

would've definitely been nice if they tuned up the structure spawning on this expedition though as it does get a little tedious having to pick up cargo every 30s on a 10m journey over a mountain

[rain needle]

my least favorite part of the expedition was the looong drives between waste heaps

everything else was fine

[granite marlin]

I don't even mind going to the heaps, it's going with all the scrap that's getting old

[rain needle]

oh also the special waste stuff kept falling out and i only thought to download the flatbed friction mod after i finished the expedition

[granite marlin]

THERE'S A FLATBED FRICTION MOD?

[rain needle]

yup

[granite marlin]

like mod mod, or base game?

[rain needle]

mod mod

[granite marlin]

ok and this is where I mod NMS for the first time

[rain needle]

at least modding nms is easier than like any game ever

[feral pelican]

I'm so sick of this expedition

[rain needle]

i honestly only did it for the heirloom set idgaf about the actual main point of theupdate

[feral pelican]

I just want that too

[granite marlin]

the mission version of the update is super fun tbh

[feral pelican]

I literally need to get 5 waste to the thing

[granite marlin]

mostly just because you can fly to the scrap heap and only have to carry stuff back once

[feral pelican]

I keep falling in goddamn caves

[granite marlin]

I feel like it's decent nanite farm if you find a good planet for it too

[rain needle]

yeah i havent even been doing much of the actual update since im just base building on every cool planet i find

and also using the beyond base building mod to drive a colossus in the anomaly lmao

[granite marlin]

I slept on base building and then threw down a few atmospheric collectors for sulphurine and now I'm going to make a gas giant base after I'm done with the expo

[feral pelican]

I hate this

If I respawn it everything breaks

[solemn bane]

Pro tip: Use a save beacon to save every so often. Don't save on big inclines though, as reloading your save point on one can make your colossus... do some weird shit.

[granite marlin]

I was really confused about what I was looking at until I realised that's a colossus on legs lol

I don't expect the legs would change anything, but if you kinda aim the colossus at a vertical wall you should just be able to boost straight up it

might lose the cargo but that can be put back in at least

[feral pelican]

I just want to get the heirloom set I need to get 2 radiation and 3 bio canisters to the waste processing plant why is this so difficult?

I'm not used to these save points I usually rely on auto save.. when I last saved at a waypoint was 3 hours ago.

[solemn bane]

Save Beacons are a craftable item you can place, save and pick up

[granite marlin]

could terrain manipulator the ground to give a ramp up?

[feral pelican]

I managed to save one cargo

This is ridiculous

[solemn bane]

I imagine trying to do that would be more frustrating than driving

[granite marlin]

probably yeah

as I said the colossus has hella traction, you could probably just drive out the cave

[feral pelican]

I had to respawn it was wedged and when I tried to dig around it it fell deeper in the cave, majority of my cargo was destroyed as it fell

[granite marlin]

ouch

[fossil quartz]

Why did they have to make the driving so lon😭

[wraith junco]

Trucker need truckin 🚚

[last summit]

My first expedition fully completed!

Finally

[orchid hill]

is it worth?

[remote thunder]

personally, i think the heirloom exosuit customization set is beautiful, and even if it was for that alone, it'd be worth it

glorious

[orchid hill]

Okay, thanks. I'll have to see if I even have enough time... I don't find the expedition all that interesting and it's also quite long.

[orchid hill]

okay thats cool

[remote thunder]

right?! 🥳

it's so good

[remote thunder]

i have a lot of respect for garbage trucks. didnt take long for me to roleplay that i was helping sentinels clear junk off a beautiful planet 🙂

[orchid hill]

Oh, and helping guards too... nah, that's not for me 😅

[remote thunder]

well, i'm just saying what i played with, just roleplay 😄

[orchid hill]

I think time will pass more quickly then. 👍🏼

[remote thunder]

yeah, pretty much 🙂

[indigo falcon]

you don't really need to, since end phase and end expedition rewards are unlocked account wide

[vague fractal]

Ok. I wasn't sure if it would automatically unlock anything else. If not, I'll continue on as usual. thanks.

[dusk crypt]

any tips on scanning for new minerals?

[indigo falcon]

one that looks like a tree, called "rock tree"; on e tall pointed one; one smallish one called "big rock"; one that's very large and requires an adv mining laser; one that has two pillars; two in caves with cobalt; two in dark grey patches like the trenches, these are very small pebbles

[dusk crypt]

Thank you! I found the last 2 on top of a huge rock

Now just need to figure out how to find all creatures on the planet 🥲

[granite marlin]

so I just finished the expedition, I go to the terminus on my main save.... and it says start expedition not claim rewards. nomnom confirms I have the rewards unlocked at account level :/

oh nvm I do have the rewards just not the item ones

guess I'll just nomnom those back over because I meant to start the expo on my main save not a new one

oh nvm it's at quicksilver not expo terminal...

[lament garden]

Out of curiousity. How difficult are other expeditions in comparison to the current one?

[mental geyser]

Depends on what’s hard for you. I find the ones with a lot of combat hard.

Most are a bit of a grind searching for rare stuff. But all are not terribly hard IMHO

This last I found easy but frustrating at times.

[lament garden]

I know some of them relate to features I've yet to see as well which could just create personal difficulty. I've only gotten as far as the anomaly in base game.

[pure basalt]

The most annoying one for me was the gas gaint one. In the middle of mining, only to be kidnapped by a passing wind elemental

[dim elm]

I just realized I did the expedition in a new save file, will I have the rewards on my main save file or do I need to redo the expedition but start it on that save file?

[fair otter]

you'll unlock the rewards for every save, but you can't bring any items out of your expedition save into your main save

[dim elm]

ok thank you 😁

[lusty slate]

Phase rewards + the expedition completion reward (the Heirloom set) are unlocked account wide. Visit the quicksilver vendor on the Anomaly and select "expedition rewards" to claim them on your main save.

[jagged spruce]

one is nocturnal so only comes out at night

[dusk crypt]

oh okay ty

[prisma tundra]

I think this one isn't hard, but can feel grindy or frustrating (especially when things explode/get destroyed on you), it does kinda depend on a person's specific strengths/weaknesses in the game ofc, but personally, the Cursed expedition was hardest for me due to the amount of (on foot) combat & the maintenance of the special hazard protection

[formal dust]

Is anyone able to trade me Aeron Blades? I was trying to make my first corvette following a tutorial and found out I can’t get this part

[potent lichen]

i just got to the "scan 2 creatures with the collosus" challenge part and i already scanned 5/6 species on the planet

am i screwed or is it possible to like forget species scanned?

[subtle wren]

no, you need to register the creatures you discovered

when you open the menu and click into the creatures section, you will see an option to get nanites when you scanned all of them

click there and the challenge will be fulfilled

[potent lichen]

does not work

[solemn bane]

Scan the sixth and it completes.

[potent lichen]

it says " scan 2 creatures from an exocraft"

[solemn bane]

What I say is more important than what it says 😉

[potent lichen]

okay

buggy game tbf

[dense basin]

They just don't want to soft lock you if you happen to scan everything on foot before you get the exocraft scanner

[potent lichen]

okay good

thanks guys

[vague fractal]

Do you mean to be in the expedition channel?

[formal dust]

It’s an expedition part. But I’m just gonna delete my message

[vague fractal]

This little troublemaker isn't even worth it. 😆

[shell tendon]

I m new in the game how do i enter the event 🤔 ?

[solemn bane]

Either via the new game interface or at the expedition terminal on the Anomaly (the latter method allows you to transfer stuff back to your primary save at the end).

[shell tendon]

Ok thnx i will check it out

[lament garden]

I fell down 3 holes during that expedition and made sure not a container was left behind. 4 incidents in total if you count the one where I accidentally hit the "dump" button on my exo.

[vague fractal]

I think the only containers I lost were ones swallowed by the ground. Not much I could do about that.

[lament garden]

Oh, wow. I may have got lucky then. LOL

Any good quick roadmap/guide/video for Pioneers? The fellow for the Remnant one was good but I think he only goes as far back as Beachhead. (Although that will be useful in of itself later.)

[solemn bane]

Probably just search youtube. Of course the game has changed a LOT since then, so it may not all line up. It's a pretty straightforward one as far as I can remember though. About the only thing I would recommend is grow Frostwort asap since that part takes a while and it's the fastest growning plant. The other thing that takes a while is doing fleet expeditions, but you can cheese those by cancelling the fleet expedition after sending them out and it counts as a run.

[lament garden]

Will do, thought I'd ask in case there was one specifically. The extra tips are much appreciated as well.

[marsh fox]

I've hit a bump in the road (and lost some cargo). I'm supposed to go to Checkpoint 2, but my scanner only found the waste heap for checkpoint 1. I've loaded with lots of junk, but it won't be recognized until I actually get to checkpoint 2. Any ideas how to find my way?

[solemn bane]

Either you're confused and/or you haven't finished the Checkpoint 1 milestone yet. Or it's a bug that I haven't seen reported yet, but that seems unlikely. Screenshots would help us figure it out.

[marsh fox]

no, I finished checkpoint 1 (had to circle back because I lost one of the containers)

and, yes, confused because there is only the one waste heap, but it doesn't register as checkpoint 2 when I am there

[solemn bane]

Make sure the Checkpoint 2 milestone is selected and scan for a waste heap with your colossus

[marsh fox]

since the save point/beacon was already identified when I got there, I'm pretty sure it was checkpoint 1

it is

[solemn bane]

Then we're back at the point where we would need screenshots to see what is going wrong.

[solemn bane]

You have Road Trip II selected, according to this screenshot.

[marsh fox]

yep

[solemn bane]

Make sure the Checkpoint 2 milestone is selected and scan for a waste heap with your colossus

Checkpoint and Road Trip are different milestones

[marsh fox]

this is the only waste heap it finds

[solemn bane]

With Checkpoint II selected, go down the hill a ways from the Waste Heap and scan for a waste heap with the colossus again, screenshot what it finds

If that doesn't give you a waste heap with a yellow rendezvous icon, my next guess will be to park your colossus on a flat surface, turn multiplayer off in the network settings, save using a save beacon, and restart your game.

[marsh fox]

yeah, no joy. been driving for a few minutes out now and still no rendezvous icon

[solemn bane]

You wouldn't need to drive around, just select the milestone and scan for a waste heap then screenshot what it finds. Regardless, if that's what you're doing and it's not showing, park your colossus on a flat surface, turn multiplayer off in the network settings, save using a save beacon, and restart your game.

[marsh fox]

looks like I have to move further - can't create the beacon/no edit permission

[solemn bane]

For that you may need to get closer, like on top of the heap

Or just using the waypoint flagpole thing at the heap would be fine

[marsh fox]

sheesh, now far enough away I can't find the first waste heap, no rendezvous point. annoying -- can I abandon the expedition and restart it without getting to the anomaly?

[solemn bane]

At this point you should have an auto save, so you can just restart your game after disabling multiplayer.

[marsh fox]

I did all that

[solemn bane]

Can you make a video where you select Checkpoint II, get in your colossus, and scan for a waste heap from the quick menu scanner?

[marsh fox]

I'm not sure -- is there a capture to video option somewhere from discord?

[solemn bane]

Was just hoping you'd alreay know how to do it. I'm relatively certain this is going to be something simple/obvious, but I can't see what you're seeing to tell you what it is.

[marsh fox]

yeah, I'm surprised the point doesn't show up in a scan

[opaque ferry]

Hi, is there a way to play previous expeditions? I missed a lot

[marsh fox]

usually in Dec-Jan there are expedition replays (about two weeks per expedition)

[solemn bane]

Yep, on PC. Link in my profile.

[lusty slate]

Those are usually only the current year's expeditions though. Only Cartographers and Beachhead ran again after their redux, and those were special events.

[woeful niche]

Does the salvage found at heaps and processing centers ever regenerate?

[solemn bane]

In time probably, you can also try saving at the waypoint or a save beacon and reloading. That usually makes some of it respawn for me, depending on the nukmber of times I've done it.

[woeful niche]

I tried reloading after I left the system and it didn't regenerate. I'll try it again.

[woeful niche]

I found a heap-processing center only 4 min drive time apart and was hoping to take advantage of it

[vague fractal]

Just to be sure, you are:

• Selecting the Checkpoint II milestone as the active one
• Getting in the Colossus and pulling up the Exocraft Radar
• Scrolling over to Waste Heaps and selecting it in the radar options
• Looking around for the marker (it is not the normal waste heap marker)
  (The shots below are checkpoint 1, but same exact procedure applies)

[solemn bane]

Either way it'll respawn less and less depending on how many times you reload and/or how much you have loaded onto your colossus. There may be some magic if you drive all the way there and all the way back, but I haven't tested that.

[woeful niche]

Ok, thanks.

[tame snow]

oh lawd new expodtiion has starte3d?

[vague fractal]

Yep. A couple weeks ago. Plenty of time left, though, especially since most people seem to get through it quickly. (Partly because it is all in one area of one planet, and partly because many people are highly motivated to get back in a starship again after being a trucker for a little while. 😁)

[tame snow]

ah i dont really care about trucks tbh so im not in a hurry

[vague fractal]

I get the impression that some others who don't care for the trucks are doing the expedition just for the outfit.

[tame snow]

i just want the normandy to come back

[wraith junco]

No normandy for now. Maybe at nov 7

[wraith junco]

Most dont care. We just want the colossus cosmetics and new drip

[crude comet]

i just decided to hit all the waste heaps left before doing the processing plant milestones, and the processing plant it had marked for me to go to from the third waste heap was 10 mins away, the 4th rendezvous wate heap? 1.5 mins in the opposite direction 😑

[lavish rampart]

Ya know, this past expedition was the first one I ever did because I was nervous. I found I liked it and cant wait for the next one!

(Lets just hope theres less back and forth XD)

[crude comet]

whatever the next one is its gonna be INFINITELY more fun than this one. Frankly I'm sorry this was your first experience with the expeditions because theyre usually way more fun

And im honestly impressed it didnt turn you off of expeditions entirely

Anyone know how to find that sky highway someone built that sean reposted?

[zenith shale]

Everyone’s different.. I enjoyed this expedition loads. It’s so much fun just trucking around collecting waste! No this is not sarcasm, I really enjoyed it.

[crude comet]

See I also thought the trucking was fun until about the 4th time losing all my cargo to running over a tiny bump

on the same milestone

Like I understand everyones different but i genuinely dont see whats fun about driving in the same direction for 15 minutes praying everything in your flatbed doesnt get sent flying

[twilit garden]

“i started the expedition, might as well finish it”

my only rationale

the rewards weren’t even good either

[crude comet]

exactly

[versed mantle]

I'm gonna do it for the outfit

[crude comet]

i stg the whole point of this expedition is just to see how many people will actually stick to it

[remote thunder]

the heirloom set is just too good imo

plus, i like driving patiently

[primal geode]

the cyclops scope acts bugged sometimes

[remote thunder]

how come?

in what way(s) i mean

i've noticed that icons added by exocraft quick scan are visible on cyclops scope, which is a little weird

[vague fractal]

Every so often, there is a touch too much "if you liked this expedition, you are wrong" floating about. 🙄

[wraith junco]

Every expedition has pepole that didint liked it.

Many liked aquarius . For me it was Zzzzzz

[marsh willow]

It was a slight drudge in some parts. But that just made me work harder just to get through it 🤟

[pure basalt]

After playing and beating the expedition, I think it was decent, but I can see how someone who can't stand doing a single objective or hates driving can dislike it

[vague fractal]

Oh, I can understand that, too. Completely. It is when things are expressed as absolutes rather than preferences or opinions that it nears the line.

[lusty slate]

Me and my persistent Voyagers hate. 😛

It was literally the most phoned in exped ever.

Like, the most random milestones, no concrete ties to the update it came with (Echoes).

[crude comet]

I like the driving just fine but this is just ridiculous

like this wouldnt even be that bad if there was literally any way at all to keep the waste in the truck

[gusty ruin]

So I have a question so what if the expeditions could be replayed at the expedition terminal when no expedition is currently happening and it cost 10,000 quicksilver to start

[woeful elbow]

well that's a jam

[wraith junco]

Easy fix with resummon

[ornate tapir]

Can anyone help me, I did literally every other thing on the expedition, but for some reason I can't completely field guide. It says I need to scan one more fauna, but it also already has the green paw print and won't allow me to scan it again. People say its possible to get off the planet, but I can't figure out how for the life of me. My ship won't allow me to repair it despite me completing the missions everyone tells me to complete, and I can't purchase a ship from an NPC. Please help I beg.

[crude comet]

means youre missing an animal cause i did it without leaving the planet

[hazy sparrow]

OMG the number of times I accidentally drove my colossus into a hole at night....headlights really need to actually provide illumination.

[ornate tapir]

But I'm not, I had the flying one labeled batman in my list, then it suddenly disappeared and now I can't register them at all

I submitted a bug report and so far got no other answer.

Is there a way to leave the planet so I can scan another creature on another planet?

[crude comet]

check your discovery tab itll tell you if theres more fauna on the planet to scan

[ornate tapir]

That's what it says, but I remember scanning the fauna it has the green paw print on it. Its the only one that flies.

[crude comet]

What do you mean? Youre supposed to scan more than just the fliers

It specifically says to scan all the creatures on THIS planet too

[ornate tapir]

I said I have every one except the flying one, which it says I do with a green paw print, so I can't scan it again

[crude comet]

Have you tried restarting?

[ornate tapir]

The game is acting like I never scanned it

But it's also acting like I did

At this point everything online tells me to get off planet and scan a random creature there, which works apparently.

But I can't for the life of me figure out how to leave the planet without finishing the expedition.

[wraith junco]

Finish phase5 first

[ornate tapir]

Already did

That's the last thing and I can't do it

[crude comet]

If you havent already restart the whole game

[ornate tapir]

Literally everything else but that singular mission

[ornate tapir]

I did, turned off the system completely and everything.

[remote thunder]

i've seen other players reporting this issue, but i'm not sure there's a fix. i tried searching around, couldnt find a known workaround either. do you have access to your ship already? can you try to go to a diff planet in the system? scan all fauna on one of them, in hopes that it will complete milestone, even if for that you have to press the additional bonus nanite reward button? that said, i'd strongly recommend raising a bug report on this when you get a bit of spare time. what platform are you on?

Even with light, those holes can be easily overlooked. ;_;

[wraith junco]

The light makes it worse actualy

[remote thunder]

towards the end, i was making use of photo mode+move the sun if i got caught during night time travel to plan my route

hi Asta 🤗

[wraith junco]

Hello bk

[vague fractal]

I wonder if something is going sideways with the renamed uploads. I noticed it looked like a rock changed name and wasn't in my list anymore.

[remote thunder]

yeah, i actually noticed the same - by the time i got to the end, i had the minerals milestone done, but only 6 on my list

not sure what caused it

[ornate tapir]

It keeps telling me that my ship is in critical condition and I can't fix it

[remote thunder]

did you complete and claim all milestones from phase 5, including the phase reward?

ah mb

yes

[ornate tapir]

Lol

[remote thunder]

field guide is in phase 5

😄

okay so..

[ornate tapir]

I already sent a bug report so I hope that helps...

[solemn bane]

Only way around it I can think of is to group with someone who hacked a corvette onto their expedition save and get transported off the planet.

[ornate tapir]

Can't, don't got multilayer and ps plus is expensive. I broke rn...

[remote thunder]

yeah, i knew i remembered that name - that extinct fauna at the bottom, that's not a fauna at all, that's one of the minerals on the planet.

[remote thunder]

yeah, hopefully this gets the attention of the devs soon. that said, there's still plenty of time to start a exp21 save from the main menu, and complete the whole thing. you'll probably not run into this bug, but i'd probably even go further and actually disconnect from the internet to kill the connection to online discovery services server

[ornate tapir]

Can't do that, took me this long just to get this far, and I started like an hour after the update dropped. Don't got a lot of free time unfortunately, so restarting isn't an option for me...

[remote thunder]

i think that with the knowledge you already have now, about what you'll face, what milestones you'll have to do etc - you could get it done in just a few hours. but i understand what you're saying for sure.

[vague fractal]

I mean, if it came to that, there is more time remaining in the expedition than has passed. And, as noted, you have more practice with it now. Might not be the worst idea to have it as a backup just in case.

[lament garden]

I just knew to never use First Person after seeing what it looked like once. Spatial awareness is mandatory.

[narrow karma]

where can i place down a colossus geobay?

[remote thunder]

If you can't place your geobay, try placing it at the starting processing plant. If that doesn't work, go offline and walk far away from where you were (reporting bases no longer works)

[lament garden]

How much does this option matter for the Pioneer Redux Expedition?

[remote thunder]

try asking around #nms-modding

[lament garden]

Ah, my bad.

[remote thunder]

nah no worries

[crude comet]

man i wish id realized earlier what a godsend these big grey ravines are

[hazy sparrow]

That world is a veritable paradise compared to trying to do salvage on some of my other worlds. I've got one planet that's dark red all the time, impossible to see. Had to wait to day just to be able to drive back to the waste processing center and hold the crate up to what little light I had to see what type it was. I like most of the enhancements from Worlds except for the monotone planets.

[crude comet]

oh my god im finally done

i cant wait to never touch any of this stuff ever again

[hard silo]

How can I locate the broken ship ?

[remote thunder]

your ship? see <#nms-expedition message>, line 2

[hard silo]

I see thx!
And I also have an issue with phase 3 Sandstone, visit a monolith, I have been claiming a lot of them and still not checked

Well, the Knowledge stone that might be why but it’s what the thing locate

[remote thunder]

be sure to be visiting a monolith - plaques wont work; claiming the previous milestone taught you radar power resonator blueprint: install it on your colossus, then hop in it, quick menu, radar, alien monolith

[hard silo]

Ok thx!

[solemn bane]

You can also skip it til you get your ship so it’s not a pain in the ass to get to.

[violet cairn]

Not to say the expedition is boring

But it's kinda boring

I love the garbage man drip tho

[lament garden]

I had a blast.

[violet cairn]

Did you? To me it was just holding W while staring at all the destinations I'm supposed to go

For minutes

Several tens of minutes

From the last 4 hours that I have been playing this expedition, 1,5 hour was probably just driving around

And I don't even know if I can grab my ship, I don't even know where it is

I say this because I genuinely don't know what I'm doing wrong

[solemn bane]

After Phase 5 is done you can summon it

[remote lava]

If you do find it you can't use it until finishing a certain point on phase 5.
I found mine early on hidden in a pile of rocks.

[violet cairn]

I mean... After phase 5 I don't have to pick trash from the ground anymore

I can just grab my shi and leave

[rapid spindle]

Is there any way to make bases this Expedition?

[solemn bane]

Not without save hacking.

[rapid spindle]

Ah, I'll have to return using a portal on my main save then
