nms-expedition

[sharp turtle]

play off-line

I did that mission online and someone was somehow multiplying birds

Lagging everything obviously

[wraith venture]

And thank you for also letting them know.

[lofty flower]

idk what was going on, i just followed the quest and flew to another planet asap...
it was way too busy for me down there

[junior ravine]

no problem at all

[delicate elk]

I really do not like this part

[eternal solar]

Yeah, I'm not sure I'm a fan of this expedition either

[delicate elk]

I just don't like having progress be halted

[eternal solar]

Twiddlin' our thumbs

[elfin fractal]

Is graviton coil not working common?

[eternal solar]

Previous expeditions I could finish in one session, but now we have to wait for who knows what

[vapid moss]

Yeah I dont like having to wait

[delicate elk]

I think it would make it bearable if missions weren't time locked

I think it would go by quicker

[vapid moss]

Yeah like, i dont understand why time locked them

[signal night]

we're so back <3

jokes apart, I don't think any one team is gonna win — they gonna make all of us win

[delicate elk]

it's so dumb I hope they update the game

[signal night]

like the common enemy is that Hive Glass thing

[signal igloo]

where does it stand right now

once i got home updated i joined and ended up with weavers even on restart totally opposite answers quiz = nothing

[signal igloo]

i got two notices there were two patches

[chilly latch]

Finally it reached 1%

[delicate elk]

they didn't add much

[signal igloo]

sounded like hot fix

i have not had time to look if the new ship inventory bug was fixed, anyone?

[delicate elk]

doesn't look like it in the patch notes

[signal igloo]

oh yeah wonder where i can read htem at?

[wary crow]

I'm stuck in a datacenter today. How are my Weavers holding up? We still on top? Or did the Royals finally pull it together?

[signal igloo]

i asked for standing no one has it ready - i guess its no big

[delicate elk]

yeah we still kicing names and taking ass

[signal igloo]

i got my ship running - pilot seed thingy- and bounced around the system a little bit

i thing I earned creature food

[tepid grove]

||The hive of glass SAYS YOUR USERNAME?||
That's both cool and someone creepy and menacing

I broke the spoiler

[signal igloo]

ghmm makin me show text

[delicate elk]

||aww the hive wants to be besties||

[tepid grove]

So if you partially spoiler mark your message
send it
Spoiler mark more of your message
ITLL HAVE YOUR MESSAGE PARTIALLY SPOILED

[tepid grove]

Yasss
Dear atlas that was cringe of me

[chilly latch]

I mean it's at the beginning after you get your ship fixed up

[turbid vapor]

Core quests appearing twice per day?

[tepid grove]

no like
I broke the spoiler marking thing

[delicate elk]

Do we know what the Hive is?

like we know it's from the World of Glass cuz yk the name

but like

what is it

why is it

[turbid vapor]

Somehow warped sentinels obv

[untold crypt]

Wait so phase three is just a community event right? Do i technically have to grind the swarm missions?

[delicate elk]

yeah but they're on a cooldown

[turbid vapor]

3d phase 4th milestone, being precise

[mossy breach]

What's that

[wild trail]

they need to lower the time frame 8h is way to long

[delicate elk]

1hr at the most

they aren't hard to complete

[molten mulch]

Is it available on Xbox yet? Does anyone know?

[delicate elk]

it's another plane of existience

[chilly latch]

is Corrupted Ichor any useful or nah

[vivid crypt]

The core is not getting completed at this pace

It took a whole day to reach 1%, we only have two months

[signal igloo]

i am looking forward to how the generator might overcome the time locks, they usually do without notice.

[mossy breach]

Is that where the sentinels come from?

[eternal solar]

I thought the World of Glass was just a planet within the simulation, maybe connected to Korvax Prime and/or the Sentinels

Logs from abandoned buildings refer to it

[delicate elk]

yeppers

[naive prism]

just out of curiousity, let's say i rip the parts of the crashed swarm sites. then what? are you supposed to get any loot for it? pick things up? interact?

because now i just rip the pieces off and head back to the Anomaly

[burnt girder]

You just rip them up and leave

[untold crypt]

Yeah I know they are on the cooldown, but do I have to grind to complete the prismatic core or is just a big community thing?

Just wanna know if I can be a lazy fuck lol

[winged sail]

Anyone have any extra emeralds so I can quickly build indrum drive?

[naive prism]

depends, if you're a royal you need to get to work NOW, if you're sage or weaver, sure, sit back

[winged sail]

Emeril

[burnt girder]

It’s a community thing that we all contribute to but whatever team contributes the most is the one who gets celebrated

[untold crypt]

So regardless of who wins, the prismatic core will be completed?

[naive prism]

btw what's the cooldown period, 8h?

[burnt girder]

So if you’re weaver lock tf in and keep us at the top

[burnt girder]

Yeah they’re on an 8h refresh

[untold crypt]

6-8 usually from what I’ve seen

[untold crypt]

Oh I am one, but it looks like we are doing nice last I saw

[burnt girder]

Yeah it’s still a community objective so around the end of summer we should have it done and we can all finish the expedition

Since it’s 8 weeks we have plenty of time until like August

[south tartan]

can yall show me yours progression?
is this for me or this progress bar is too slow?

[stone lotus]

Not to be an ass, but can I wait like a month and then do the expedition once all the community goals are complete? Or do you have to actively contribute every day to get progress in the expedition?

[deft lichen]

lowkey i dont even want to contribute because i dont want royals to rwin

[stone lotus]

Lol

[burnt girder]

No you can just sit back and let everyone else do it if u want to work on your own save

But if u want to have your team in the anomaly at the end that’s fine too

[stone lotus]

It's not even that, I'm just busy in real life and also play other stuff

[burnt girder]

Ik I want the weavers up there so I’m locked in on this

[grim coral]

What are we suppose to be doing with the gravitino coil and the swarm ship? It says to dismantle it, but how and what?

It seems randomly I can pick up a object near the ship, but that about it.

[burnt girder]

Ok yeah u don’t have to worry about it then

[rapid flicker]

at least start the expedition and get to phase 3, otherwise you might not get the rewards at all if you do it too slow

[karmic vortex]

I don’t know if I’m just being stupid but I just got off the spawn planet and I lost the object I was supposed to go to to continue and now I can’t find it any ideas

[stone lotus]

Alright; I can do that

[deft lichen]

right click the ones that have the little red icon over them. i think there's also one partially buried in the ground at the "front" of the wreck that you have to pull out

might help to turn off multiplayer while you do it

[fringe star]

What step?

[grim coral]

Then what?

Just toss them away?

[deft lichen]

then interact with it i think? like there should be a "hit E" prompt

[karmic vortex]

Phase 1 part 6 it says look for strange object

@fringe star

A shadow above

[naive prism]

oh that's brutal

[chrome perch]

Damn
https://galacticatlas.nomanssky.com/poi/countermeasures

[vivid basalt]

What kind of equiptment should i take when starting a expedition

[fringe star]

You should have been attacked when going into space by the swarm

[rapid flicker]

man what did we do?

[fringe star]

Try by the space station

[karmic vortex]

Did that now I’m gonna re log and see if that helps

[deft lichen]

im a filthy hippie i hate the idea of royalty and i hate that i was placed in the royals. it was the One Group i didn't want to be in

[karmic vortex]

Ty relogging fixed it

[remote thunder]

you can take a look at this (quite comprehensive) list <#nms-expedition message>, but exp22 really doesnt take much besides basic resources. i'd also suggest taking a look at <#nms-expedition message> and its subposts: check the rewards per milestone, you'll see that you wouldnt need to bring hazmat gauntlet at all into exp22, while it may have been useful in other expeditions

[rapid flicker]

i just don't engage with the implications and go with the flow, it was my last choice just for being red and now i just claim red superiority lol

[wet jay]

i feel like the expedition's gonna take awhile.....

[vivid basalt]

👍

[sharp turtle]

red is the color of the blood of the working gek thou

think about it that way

[rapid flicker]

it's just a fight for my faction at this point

[deft lichen]

i dont want to be the color of gek blood

[sharp turtle]

Anyway weavers are the best

[terse crystal]

isnt there a "answer this to be this" list yet?

[grim coral]

I just going to say, phase 2, mission 2, is just down right stupid. The Gravitino coil isn't functioning and the -154+ corrupted lazer boats take the fun away from it.

If we have to go OFF LINE to due a community task, in not really a community task.

[remote thunder]

see <#nms-expedition message>

[grim coral]

I'll try again later

[rapid flicker]

you don't choose actually

[terse crystal]

oh im here waiting i should start then

[remote thunder]

gosh that must have sucked 🙁 i'm sorry traveller. but actually, participating in multiplayer was never a requirement to complete expeditions, and still isn't.

[woeful niche]

Issue with the Shadow Above objective: I don't have a marker and I can't see it. No mods (ever). What to do?

[sweet axle]

sooo, I guess I messed up? I exited the atlas, the thingy didn't take any damage, atlas got rekt, I got on a mcdonalds sign planet, no idea what I chose in the menu and it seems I got full reset?

[wet jay]

the bar must fill in to finish the last 4 missions right?

[opal rapids]

Just play it out, trust me

[vivid crypt]

Wait does everybody get sent to the mcdonald's planet?

[opal rapids]

Anyone know if you buy a ship if the color will change to match your team?

[chilly latch]

Yes

[tough tendon]

yeah

[woeful osprey]

pick one

[remote thunder]

using starter ship still?

[vivid crypt]

That's awesome

[wet jay]

i was sent theree too

[woeful niche]

yes

[chilly latch]

I was there before that mcdonalds was made, but I was also focused on the day/night cycle going bonker donkers

[woeful osprey]

hai bk!

[remote thunder]

multiplayer disabled?

[woeful niche]

yes. I read and followed the pins

[remote thunder]

hi! 🙂 🙇‍♂️

[woeful osprey]

guess what!

[remote thunder]

hmm.. try to reload restore point? how long ago was it? don't overwrite it again - first, how long ago was it? could you do with losing that progress and redoing it again, after a game restart and verifying game files?

[woeful osprey]

i have assended to steam!

[naive prism]

this sounds like something i had yesterday btw-- did you do all Prismatic Core missions once already? or is this the first one for the expedition?

[remote thunder]

access to steam experimental 😄

[woeful niche]

I exited in the space station and then came here to ask. so it shouldn;t be that an issue?

[remote thunder]

started from existing save?

[sweet axle]

well.. that was unexpected... I thought I'ma throw the computer out of the window...

[woeful niche]

Yes

[woeful osprey]

mhm!
i started from switch and climbed my way to steam, and i definitely got help to get here so i thank them who helped me

[opal rapids]

Had the same thought lmao

[naive prism]

were you around for the permadeath expedition? where it was literally one of the milestones to die with all of your stuff on you? 🤣

[sweet axle]

no, but I had the flashbacks from watching the nuclear garbage running down the hill 15 times in a row and I was about to cry

[unkempt rover]

this is the brother i was yappin about

[wraith venture]

Countermeasures

For latest progress run !Tier in #nms-commands or go to: https://galacticatlas.nomanssky.com/poi/countermeasures
-# Sample screenshot may not reflect latest progress.

To check in-game, per instructions:
Per instructions:

Visit the Prismatic Core aboard the Space Anomaly and undertake missions to contribute.

Purge, Restore, and Sabotage missions all have different impacts on the rate and balance of construction.

Expedition Time Limits

1. Phase 3 - Countermeasures influences overall community progress. Do 3 Prismatic Core missions every 8 hours. Real world reset times: <t:1780041600:t>, <t:1780070400:t>, <t:1780099200:t>
2. Your expedition progress is dependent on overall community progress also. The community must complete Phase 3 Milestone 4, before you can do your own Milestones 5, 6 and 7 (of Phase 3). If you select these milestones prematurely, the game refers you back to Countermeasures.

[woeful osprey]

rahhhh

[remote thunder]

you're not the first player i've seen reporting this issue - and you're not the first one to whom none of the workarounds have been successful. i'd recommend raising a bug report when you get a bit of spare time. did you claim all the milestone rewards up until now?

[wet jay]

i got a black sceen upon atlas's desstruction- had to restart the game
had no idea thai the sawrm core battle was scripted- took like 5 attempts at beating it, before realization hit.

[woeful niche]

reloaded the restore point and now I have the marker. played this gamse too long not to have immediately thought of thath.

[earnest aurora]

this Core will be pretty big when it will be done 🙂

[woeful niche]

I'm good for now. marker is back after reload

[remote thunder]

the simplest workarounds sometimes are the best. that said, yeah, reloading didnt work for the other players. so you just reloaded the save you made in the station yeah?

[woeful niche]

yes

[remote thunder]

good to know, ty

have fun 🙂

[runic latch]

is it a bug that I need to find a different echo from what the white screen asigned me to?

[wet jay]

you need to foind all 3/ craft them

[runic latch]

ah

thanks

[surreal iron]

Okay looks like we have the actual pace now of the expedition

If its really going at the rate of contribution it'll take us 100 days to beat it

[mossy breach]

Ain't that longer from the expedition duration whar

[wet jay]

its only been like what, a day?

[surreal iron]

yes

1% for a full 24 hours so yeah

[mossy breach]

Oh shit wait that's the construction of the core? I thought it was just a hologram screen, not the ACTUAL core we're building

That's cool

[surreal iron]

I wonder if the sabotage missions are actually slowing it down

[mossy breach]

Def

[junior ravine]

honestly i wonder if we can even get the full thing, if we only go up 1% a day theres no way we can complete it

[wet jay]

more people needs to get to that point, i think- i'tll speed up probably

there are ppl who probs didn't even start

[late burrow]

What is the percentage at

[signal igloo]

**heyhey my bug fix is On the patch notes, "Fixed an issue that prevented Transferring Inventory items when purchasing a ship" !!! ** holy cow that is cool **

[surreal iron]

1%

[mossy breach]

HG is probably gonna do something

[surreal iron]

Maybe the sabotage was an oversight, it would make more sense to have it impact only score and not progress

[naive prism]

oooh ooooh it happened again

[mossy breach]

Like, you know how on that map there's multiple "sectors" but we can only do 3? I'm thinking over time more sectors will be open at a time and we can do more than 3 missions at once

[opal rapids]

Yeah, maybe it's like a grace period to let people get started.

[wet jay]

what do you nean, what isn't normal?

[remote thunder]

great feeling, really makes it worthwhile - "they're reading them!!"

[naive prism]

it's a two-parter: there's no way HG will basically see us stuck at 70% on the last day and be like "Welp, no armor for ya'all" they'll probably gradually increase the counter to stimulate progress. but also, a lot of people don't have time to play during the week and will join in at the weekends.

[junior ravine]

hopefully

[naive prism]

... the stars are missing

[mossy breach]

That is also true

I'm not worried about it, this isn't arrowhead :>

[wet jay]

oh... i thoought ot was just an ermpty regionof the galaxy or sth....

[mossy breach]

Pick your bets- bug or feature

[lunar egret]

are we not allowed to copy corvettes into this expedition? mine is greyed out

[real pier]

Any recommendations on what to bring to the expedition?

[lunar egret]

nanites and atlantideum

[wet jay]

the expedition gives you everything you'll need

[lunar egret]

anyone?

[mossy breach]

Nope

Not this one

[lunar egret]

damn.

[mossy breach]

I believe normal ships can't be copied either

[lunar egret]

so we supposed to make ships here or something?

[mossy breach]

...no?

Wdym

You start with a random ship, as per all expeditions

[lunar egret]

yeah but isnt there dogfights

[mossy breach]

I'm confused on your point

[lunar egret]

are we not going to use any starship on this one

[mossy breach]

Yes?

[lunar egret]

so... all we have is the ship we start with?

[mossy breach]

Gab you do realize literally every milestone reward is a combat tech

[lunar egret]

i havent looked haha

[mossy breach]

Fair enough

[mossy breach]

So yes

[tame urchin]

So how long does Xbox usually take after steam for expedition release?

[mossy breach]

Either that, or you buy a ship, or you can try claiming an old expedition reward ship

[lunar egret]

so we can make one yeS?

[mossy breach]

Either way you'll be fine, just use the rewards and apply all combat tech, you'll survive the scenarios

[mossy breach]

Nope

Not a Corvette at least

[lunar egret]

im thinking a solar ship? i havent really tried that

[mossy breach]

Idk!

[lunar egret]

whats green supposed to be?

sage?

[opal rapids]

Yeah, that's the green team

[ruby bloom]

So wait to progress with phase 3 we need to wait for new missions to come from the prismatic core?

[torpid oracle]

Yes and no

[tidal pollen]

uuum is it just me or is this expedition kinda

[torpid oracle]

Not just you

[tidal pollen]

yeah I do not feel like repeating the exact same 3 missions daily until freaking July 22nd

[hot hazel]

I cant finish the disassemble part whole area is bugged

[runic latch]

is refiner blueprint not supposed to be unlocked?

[tidal pollen]

the expedition was fine until this exact point, this execution feels so bad

[torpid oracle]

Technically they choose when to release it, the progression on it is probably artificial, so just wait some weeks until it's "completed" and then you can finish the expedition

[tidal pollen]

I'll let other people grind it for me basically

[torpid oracle]

I mean, it was okay until this point, mostly for lore enjoyers. I didn't really experience anything new this update

[ruby bloom]

No you're supposed to refine some materials dw

[tidal pollen]

it feels so weird?

[hybrid mural]

I think any expedition could’ve hypothetically been the best expedition in the world, but once you start asking people to wait weeks for the rewards to drop no matter what you do, it seems silly.

[vivid crypt]

I don't think it's artificial. At this current pace it won't finish before the expedition does

[pure spoke]

Become a productive member of Traveler society and get drafted smh

Young people these days

[runic latch]

I can't craft a personal refiner, the first progrression refiner thingy

[tidal pollen]

yeah and we've done this before too but this seems like the worst one yet of this same case

[pure spoke]

Back in my day we had to fight eldritch gods in a half broken down hauler

[tidal pollen]

it feels silly

[torpid oracle]

It's that you're being told the best way that you're supposed to enjoy the expedition is by not playing the expedition. Not to mention the one expedition that's supposed to be more community focused still won't let you play with MP on without issues

[whole pendant]

I just placed buildable one, you realy dont need as many refined materials as in other expeditions

[signal igloo]

are we still mad about the free content?

[torpid oracle]

Not mad, just disappointed in this update specifically

[runic latch]

right I need to build it - Atlas how I'm used to personal refiner lol

[ruby bloom]

I'm just confused fam...

[tidal pollen]

yeah the refiner thing was weird too, some expeditions just give you a personal refiner on the go but this one had us battling for buildable space

[signal igloo]

i got to play about 1 - 1.5 its pretty normal so far.

[tidal pollen]

there's an abysmal difference between that and fair criticism and disappointment

[hybrid mural]

Put it like this: I spent a good deal of time making sure I was eligible for rewards. I’ve done that now. My options are to periodically do one of like five missions, or to just stop caring until the end of the expedition. One is tedious. The other gives me time to play something more fun.

[sweet axle]

so what now? wait for the next cycle of missions?

[tidal pollen]

yep

[wet jay]

i seems so

[ruby bloom]

Apparently yes

[torpid oracle]

yep. Or just wait 5 weeks until it's done

[tidal pollen]

you're softlocked now like us

[signal igloo]

idk i don't feel like being the target of the ire

[wet jay]

one of us. one of us.

[hybrid mural]

I just don’t think “play something else” is a fun gameplay loop.

[torpid oracle]

wdym?

[earnest aurora]

Royals go sabotage 😄

[tidal pollen]

there's no ire lol

[hybrid mural]

who are you

[sweet axle]

I thought I'm going crazy, I couldn't figure out why I can't put a refiner, getting the "no edit permission" or something like that, wtf

[eternal axle]

So has the progress bar moved at all?

[tidal pollen]

maybe?

[signal igloo]

just feeling pressure about the conditions of the event, trying not to, but the debie downer is wearing me out

[tidal pollen]

I'll check again in a week I guess

[torpid oracle]

Why should you feel pressure? Did you design the event?

[eternal axle]

Is it above 0%

[sweet axle]

1%

[torpid oracle]

I guess it has progressed

[eternal axle]

Oh god they expect it to last the whole 55 days.

[signal igloo]

it just me - i am pretty sure - sorry team i'll be back -

[tidal pollen]

I opened the game and realized it's just the same 3 missions daily and didn't even feel like looking at the numbers tbh, I just closed it

[sweet axle]

is it safe to exit to the main save? how does it work to go back to the expedition?

[tidal pollen]

I think it's safe yeah? you just walk back into the expedition console to load the event save

[sweet axle]

ok, thanks

[torpid oracle]

Pretty much same, I did the missions bc why not, but damn, it just feels hollow to have nothing to do in the expedition. Leaves it feeling unfinished

[rapid flicker]

I'm 100% expecting a change to the system as a whole, but probably only halfway through

[sweet axle]

I'ma go hunt some exotics here... why not... can't buy them though... no units... I don't get it, I've used the transfer some tech and resources before starting, but got nothing in the expedition... could've sold some stuff here

[torpid oracle]

And idk, I still think this game is a masterpiece, but to blindly ignore this being a bad expedition / update wouldn't be fair to the past updates. It's okay to point out bad updates and expeditions while still giving praise to the good ones

[tidal pollen]

exactly

we give out this criticism from a place of love

there's an abysmal difference between this and "uuuuh are we still mad about the free content?"

[nimble marlin]

Meh. Not the best, no. Sean! I want to refund this DLC!

[gritty sedge]

I'll probably check out stuff added in previous updates between mission runs on my other saves.

[tidal pollen]

good time for me to catch up on the pokemon stuff I missed out on actually

[tranquil pewter]

You didnt transfer 50 stasis devices?

[torpid oracle]

It's not about me feeling cheated or scammed or insisting I deserve better or whatever, it's about how I desperately want to get more of my friends into this game, but this isn't an update I can point to and be like: "Look! Isn't this cool! This is why you should get this", because there is nothing of substantial value in this update besides some improvements to space combat and some more lore for those who care

[nimble marlin]

TRUE! Haven't touched the Pokémon battles yet.

[nimble marlin]

Oh, no doubt. But honestly if your friends aren't sold on NMS, I can't think of one update that'd change their mind.

[tranquil pewter]

The corvette one

[torpid oracle]

^

I got one of my friends into the game bc of that one alone

[nimble marlin]

I stand corrected. The corvette was cool but it was one thing in the game.

[torpid oracle]

There's been several substantial updates that really stand out from the others, from pirate freighter space battles to the settlements. But this isn't one of them. And that's okay, but it's fair to point out its flaws

[nimble marlin]

Yeah. Truck one wasn't a game changer either.

[tidal pollen]

I just really got caught off guard with the lack of missions in the prism in general, it's taking our biggest flaw of waiting for community research and taking it up to 11

but as ususal I take every single NMS update as a tech demo for something cool in LNF so I'm sure this splatfast-esque faction system event will be WAAAAAY more polished by then

[sweet axle]

nope, just full stacks of materials and modulea, didn’t know what will be useful

[tranquil pewter]

Always transfer something you can sell for a ton of money

[fleet hollow]

what's the key to fighting the giant hive ship in space?

[nimble marlin]

Meh. I didn't transfer anything. The expedition rewards were very generous in this one to get you up to snuff.

[vivid crypt]

I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling like some of the past few updates haven't been especially impressive

(not that they all have to be)

[sweet axle]

well I had full stacks of gold, indium, bunch of other things, though I better bring crafting materials

[vivid crypt]

With the exception of Voyagers

[twin veldt]

so when are we building castles for each team?

[torpid oracle]

I honestly haven't been impressed with any expeditions since Titan, but I think they just set the standards so high with that one

[vivid crypt]

To be honest, I'm a little disappointed every time I see a new update and learn it's just an expedition. And I think I'll keep feeling that way until they stop being time-limited

[nimble marlin]

Yeah, that one WAS pretty huge. I didn't even do the expedition but the impact on the base game was big.

[vivid crypt]

It's so cool that this game gets a steady stream of content despite not really being a live service, but it also unfortunately has the FOMO of a live service

[wet jay]

i mean you can clain crashed ships.....
starting planet

[vivid crypt]

We can also claim previous expedition ships

Once I learned we were gonna be in this one for a while I went and got the Starborn Runner

[naive prism]

ooh ooh, i had that one too 😁

and i just built my own

[ashen pebble]

I just wish we could copy from main save

Like if we can claim sentinels and expedition ships might as well let us use our corvettes

[wet jay]

i avoid claiming them, in case i wont be able to claim them on the main save.

[naive prism]

(Royal 😉 )

[wraith junco]

Thats the neat part. U dont . Its invincible atm.

[hybrid mural]

Hear me out: expeditions are always active. I mean, I think that between this one and the last there was enough time for a rerun, no? You’d never not be able to do an expedition.

[naive prism]

yeah i was pretty salty scavenging parts for 3 hours and then discovering corvettes are disabled

[shrewd onyx]

I've found that expedition mode counts as a separate save for this.

[vivid crypt]

That would definitely be better, but I feel like as we start getting into expedition number 40, 50, 60 and so on, we'd start waiting almost as long as we do now for any specific expedition.

[hybrid mural]

I’d like to introduce you to Warframe. Specifically, prime resurgence. There are a few select cosmetics tied to specific events which happen every once in a while. Crucially, there is a new one every month. Sometimes it’ll be one you’ve done before, but there will never not be one. Sometimes they add new rotations. There’s always a new one for someone, somewhere. Why not apply that here? If there’s a gap between expeditions, fill it with a rerun. I don’t see much point in dead air, especially after 20 expeditions

[icy hazel]

I like this persons idea for it

#nms-the-future message

[vivid crypt]

The game is only, what, 10GB? And expeditions are mostly recycled content, so I can't imagine it would be such a drag on the game to make them all permanently available

[hot scaffold]

Where do i get pilot signature?

[mossy breach]

It should be in your ship inventory, automatically added after making the 3 fragment orbs

[hot scaffold]

How to craft glass?? There is no frost crystal on planet

[mossy breach]

Silicate

Dig the ground

Then refine it :>

[hardy zodiac]

I wish we would progress past this countermeasures mission

[hot scaffold]

Oh

[quartz umbra]

is the main reward of this expedition the armor set?

[lethal mirage]

Bro are star bulbs even on this planet

[mossy breach]

Yup

[mossy breach]

Also yup

[lethal mirage]

Where

I have been running for like 30 minutss

[mossy breach]

If you select the milestone and follow the log, you can use the analysis visor's objective mode that will point you to the nearest objective point

In this case it'd guide you to star bulbs

[lethal mirage]

Its not

[mossy breach]

Damn

Idk what to say man you should be able to find it in 5 min

[lethal mirage]

Its screaming at me to make the sage echo when i don't have the bulbs

[runic latch]

Plant icon, you are just unlucky

I could not find copper with that method either

[valid roost]

Someone get me off this planet (starting world of expedition btw, bjorn)

[mossy breach]

Also, while the armor is the final reward, phase 2 gives you the multitool and backpack

[runic latch]

#nms-lfg-or-trades

you might have more luck there

[quartz umbra]

gotcha, thanks!

[mighty otter]

Anyone know if the Purge mission is bugged. I keep getting the hive and not a swarm!

[valid roost]

I was making a joke my guy

[lethal mirage]

Had to pin the recipe now its pointing me at it

[valid roost]

No clue who criscros is tbh

[runic latch]

I failed to read the room XD

[valid roost]

No worries lmao

[lethal mirage]

...and my game seems to have crashed

When i crafed the echo

...or at least visuals stopped

[mossy breach]

Eyyy nice :D

[mossy breach]

Oof

[mighty otter]

Anyone know if the Purge mission is bugged. I keep getting the hive and not a swarm!

[topaz spruce]

hey, it finally says Prismatic Core 1% done -.-

[tired arrow]

Yesterday I was assigned to weavers but for some reason today I was switched over to royals. I still have the blue ship and traveler. Has this happened to anyone else?

[nimble marlin]

So what... 1% over 24 hours? 🤣

[topaz spruce]

at that rate, by week 8 we'll be about 65% and they'll have to extend the expedition.

[nimble marlin]

Or we'll just lose! Sean reveals that he actually just fucking hates us.

NMS Twitter at the end of the expedition: 🖕

[wraith junco]

peace among the worlds symbol

[nimble marlin]

"Worlds 3 update confirmed!"

[whole harbor]

Can i change my starter expedition ship?

[earnest aurora]

updating numbers

[earnest aurora]

echo locators are your friend

[topaz spruce]

i still like how it says "sage fragment 0%" though

[earnest aurora]

phase 2 system has the ugliest interceptor ever 😄

[wet jay]

do you have to copy the multitool? or do you get it via rewards?

[mossy breach]

Can do both but you can claim it for free via rewards

[topaz spruce]

you get it during one of the steps

[earnest aurora]

have no idea about rewarding it, i copied it out already, as you can have it in phase 2.

[wet jay]

thats what im thjining

im not sure whetever to waitm or recreate it on the main save

tbf the expedition isn't ending anytime soon (usually i've done them withing a week)

[earnest aurora]

This guy reminds me of gremlins 🙂

[severe creek]

Anyone noticed the exploit to ignore Mission timers?

[wet jay]

wut?

[rapid flicker]

should probably cost quicksilver instead

[wraith junco]

Dont feed him after midnight

[mossy breach]

Elaborate

[earnest aurora]

else it became... me. 😄

[wet jay]

please do

[earnest aurora]

Ooh. noticed me 😄

[surreal iron]

Nice the collossus radar can find swarm wreckage

idk if burning it at waste centers does anything yet

Also the gravatino coil works on combat supplies, didnt know that

[stark creek]

I'm finally getting back in for the day

What did I miss?

[misty crow]

so, is everyone stuck on phase 3 milestone 4?

[tough tendon]

yeah, we gotta wait for the bar to fill, and do missions in the meantime

[misty crow]

my missions refresh in 4 hours? I can only do the 3?

That seems like it's gonna be slow progress

[gaunt ridge]

is this gonna be a common theme

[misty crow]

ah, ok. That's kind of annoying 🙁 And the normal missions from the anomaly don't exist right now

[misty crow]

disable multiplayer

[gaunt ridge]

i did

[tropic mason]

Now report the base terminal

[misty crow]

just go in the base, report the terminal and it'll disappear from your game

[gaunt ridge]

bro

[rancid ravine]

look for the closest one

there's also the option of blocking NMS' internet connection through windows defender, but that's a bit more convoluted

[misty crow]

you're in no rush to complete though... looks like phase 3 is gonna take a while

[rancid ravine]

yep

honestly, if possible somebody should simply build a base on the starter planet with a bunch of large refiners next to the collective spawn point

[topaz spruce]

seems to be on an 8 hour rotation give or take.

[gaunt ridge]

bro i've already reported 20 bases why

[spare valley]

Wait....we cant copy our ships this round o.0?!

[gaunt ridge]

this is ridiculous

[misty crow]

I'm at phase 3 milestone 4 and I still can't copy my ship... so I'm guessing no

[eternal iris]

No - they don't want you to be overpowered when facing a new foe, I guess

[gaunt ridge]

they do not disappear from the report menu when i report them

[spare valley]

dang....

[kind burrow]

why are people allowed to swarm the expedition planet with bases?

I cant even make a refiner

[gaunt ridge]

i reported all 8 of them

[rancid ravine]

nope. you can still claim sentinel interceptors however, and if you have any expedition reward ships you can redeem those at the anomaly
corvettes are off limits, they're not buildable in this expedition

[gaunt ridge]

can i just end it

[spare valley]

Good idea. TY. Almost wasted time souping up this crappy fighter.

[kind burrow]

why do you need permissions to place down a temporary refiner anyways? i really hope they patch this so people can actually play

[icy hazel]

build where your ship is

[vestal pebble]

So am I gonna have to wait until the full core is constructed, which could be weeks later to complete the expedition?

[rancid ravine]

Yes

[vestal pebble]

That's actually interesting for an expedition

[rancid ravine]

it's a community effort sort of thing, except everybody's doing sabotages

[misty crow]

what is burried swarm debris?

[zinc marlin]

well may the weavers win

[rancid ravine]

it is but it does also increase the waiting time. i both do and do not like it

[vestal pebble]

Do they not want us to win 😔

[woeful forge]

do i lose out on anything if a faction loses?

[spare valley]

is the herald any good at combat?

[vestal pebble]

I think the winning faction just gets a huge well done or something

[rancid ravine]

the winning faction gets memorialized in the space anomaly, that is all

[vestal pebble]

I pray weavers win

[gaunt ridge]

well this is not ominous at all

[vestal pebble]

It reminds me of Unicron a bit

[rancid ravine]

i'm a weaver myself, but i do try to sabotage as few times as possible so that we may Actually get to build the thing while ensuring our victory

[spare valley]

Which would be better for this expedition? Wraith, herald Runner or Speeder?

[woeful forge]

cool i just didn't want some kinda of everyone pick this faction lol meta

[vestal pebble]

I'm not bothered who wins tbh

[rancid ravine]

factions are randomly predetermined but it does seem like there are more weavers currently, for whatever reason

[vestal pebble]

I just want that sweet cool armour lol

[rancid ravine]

i'm not bothered that much but i may as well help out my faction when needed with the score controlling

[wet jay]

the concept of sabotage is stupid, unless the completion bar gpoes of off number of missions completed

[rancid ravine]

it goes off of points

it's a test of whether or not we're selfish enough to get the atlas killed trying to memorialize ourselves

[vestal pebble]

People will likely find huge streamers and copy them on what they put to help them

[wet jay]

oh darn.....
sorry everyone, i had to do one sabotage for a mission.

[misty crow]

corrupted ichor: useful for something (apart from the 1 quest) or just a pile of units?

[rancid ravine]

seems to currently be a pile of units/fun collectible

[wet jay]

not sure- i keep it for now

[rancid ravine]

it's gonna be earnable outside the expo as well due to planetary swarmers still Existing

[misty crow]

can it be combined with anything in a refiner?

[rancid ravine]

i haven't tried it

[misty crow]

I don't have a large refiner yet 😄

[surreal iron]

How do the different swarm wrekcage parts sort at the waste plant?

[misty crow]

I might go and figure out how to build an S-class ship... I never really used the station thing to build a ship

[lethal mirage]

The heck is hapoening at the ||fallen swarmer||

5 trillion sentinels

Is this what they had to deal with in the war

[rancid ravine]

fixable by turning off multiplayer in case you're really not in the mood for dying in the crossfire

[whole harbor]

Just go and find a sentinel ship

[rancid ravine]

you'd need to salvage a few interceptors to get the money needed for that. you'd have to buy at least three ships and extract a part from each, and since you have no faction rep the S-class engine core will cost you 12000 nanites

[topaz spruce]

put it down right next to your ship.

[rancid ravine]

i'd recommend you simply get an interceptor instead honestly

[misty crow]

yeah, I've already got an S-class sentinel, but I figure I might try something new while I'm waiting on this community goal

[rancid ravine]

fair enough

[lethal mirage]

There are -166 sentinels activr

Help

[wet jay]

the starting planet has a class a ship marked

[misty crow]

oh right... and then I can't really transfer the ship to my main without paying more nanites

I guess S-class sentinel it is

[topaz spruce]

it works like Pugneum. refines into nanites at 5:1

[rancid ravine]

curious deposits :3

crashed swarmer planet has 'em

[slender lodge]

if you’re in a populated area look for bases named nanites farms as well

[rancid ravine]

yep

[topaz spruce]

doing all 3 missions every results in a net +5 for your faction and a net +1 for the other two. so i just do all 3 missions

[tough tendon]

is it possible to send items into the expedition after you've started it?

[rancid ravine]

i don't think so

[tough tendon]

makes sense

considered bringing an entire load of runaway mould to refine for nanites

but it really isn't necessary right now

i've got the Wraith ship so i'm set in terms of combat, i think

[rancid ravine]

could technically farm them, as i've mentioned

[misty crow]

what's in a curious deposit?

[tough tendon]

runaway mould, which refines into nanites

[topaz spruce]

you get 10,000 from a phase step, plus there are so many dissonant planets you can just refine nanites through the Atlantideum > Pugneum > Nanite chain (not to mention radiant shards are like 50 each iirc)

[cobalt bear]

oh, is the new expedition live already?

[tough tendon]

true, but i'm lazy

[topaz spruce]

since yesterday morning sometime

[tough tendon]

yeah

[rancid ravine]

radiant shards would be more effective if you don't wanna go for CD's

[cobalt bear]

neat. which faction is winning?

[misty crow]

what's the easiest way to get a sentinel ship these days?

[tough tendon]

Weavers, the blue team

[rancid ravine]

search for either bases or echo locators

[mellow gull]

Its becoming mid imo, people keep building bases over the areas we need to go to for quests and its becoming a hassle removing them

[tough tendon]

hello games genuinely just needs to disable base building for expeditions

[mellow gull]

Fr

[topaz spruce]

kill the Dissonance Resonators on a dissonant world until they drop an Echo Locator, burn that on a dissonant world and you unlock the camp and get a guaranteed Dissonante Spike that leads to a salvaged interceptor

[rancid ravine]

yep

[misty crow]

ok so there's no faster way

[rancid ravine]

that's the fastest possible one unless you go to a base that has an interceptor marked and quickly get it from there

[tardy stump]

It'd be pretty cool if players found a way to balance all 3 factions to end up with the same score

[lethal mirage]

Dang i forgot how much money you get from slaughtering cargo pods

[topaz spruce]

it is quite fast since it is a 1 in 5 chance they drop the Echo Locator and you need the Inverted Mirror drops anyways

[rancid ravine]

Runaway Mould, which when refined gives you nanites. direwasp disintegrator has the resources mined bonus technology which you can supercharge, along with the core mining laser tech, which should give you the maximum bonus to resource extraction in the smallest amount of time possible within this expedition

and then you go to the crashed swarmer planet and farm them. i had a base there called E22 - Local Harmonic Camp Outpost which has a curious deposit on a nearby hill, if you really can't find any

[topaz spruce]

yeah, a good curious deposit area can have upwards of 20,000 mould. decent nanites

[rancid ravine]

mhm

[misty crow]

I found a base just now with curious deposits inside the base 😄 pretty cool

[topaz spruce]

get the Mk1 or Mk2 personal refiner so you can refine as you go

[green canopy]

Just buy/sell the technology at outlaw systems

[misty crow]

and yeah, the yield supercharged to +88% helps

[rancid ravine]

don't forget to also boost the main mining laser module, that'll give you another +25%

[topaz spruce]

a more consistent but slightly slower way to farm nanites is to build a base next to an ocean, put down a few automatic fish traps and check them every hour or so. catch and release can give good nanites

[green canopy]

Do you guys copy your multitool?

[rancid ravine]

i copied my combat multitool

[misty crow]

really?

[rancid ravine]

which, i'm glad i did

[rancid ravine]

as far as i know, yes

[topaz spruce]

normally i do, but the direwasp disintegrator was a good enough base tool to use this time around

[misty crow]

but it doesn't show on the item

[rancid ravine]

and it does feel like that is in fact the case, in my experience

[rancid ravine]

it doesn't, but the technology system in the game actually hides quite a lot from you

[topaz spruce]

i have my little S-Class alien multi tool as a backup though. it has all my combat stuffs

[green canopy]

I wonder how much time I will have to spend on the event to get the rewards

[rancid ravine]

but yeah. core modules get the supercharge buff to every stat they have, which for mining laser-type modules includes the Resources Mined stat

[topaz spruce]

we're all time gated by Countermeasures... so who knows

[green canopy]

Which team have the most members right now?

[rancid ravine]

up to Countermeasures it doesn't take long. after that, nobody knows

[green canopy]

I got thrown to the blue

[rancid ravine]

Weavers

welcome to the club

[surreal iron]

The new swarm wreckage does work for processing btw

[green canopy]

Yay

[rancid ravine]

yippie

[surreal iron]

The green one gives 90 ichor on manual process

[rancid ravine]

doesn't look too profitable but i guess it's alright

maybe on a planet with more of them

[surreal iron]

Also you can process combat supplies which is funny

[topaz spruce]

i'm saving all the ichor just in case. i got a feeling the last step is gonna say "collect 100,000 ichor for the atlas" LUL

[surreal iron]

30 nanites and antaladium for process a combat supplies barrel

[green canopy]

Btw, finding abandoned planet and just running collecting eggs is nice nanite method, especially if the planet have dissonance

[topaz spruce]

we'll get a hidden step that shows up after we're done :p

[green canopy]

Good idea

[misty crow]

how long does it take before the curious deposits respawn?

[rancid ravine]

in my experience it's around 20-30 minutes

as somebody who has two farms on her main save

[tough tendon]

teleport to another spot then back again and it instantly refreshes

[rancid ravine]

really?

[tough tendon]

you can make it super optimal by making bases in 2 different curious deposit spots

[topaz spruce]

assuming nobody else touches it about an hour but everyone and their rented cousin is farming the stuff so it might just stay poofed out a while

[green canopy]

Curious deposits are tedious and time consuming

[tough tendon]

warp to base, collect mould, teleport to the second one, same thing

[rancid ravine]

you could find a base that already has them

[tough tendon]

good multitool upgrades and food buffs can speed up the process

[surreal iron]

The heart of a swarm wreckage gets 100 ichor when processed in the crusher

[tough tendon]

and having lots of refiners to stuff mould in

[rancid ravine]

Yep

[green canopy]

Why do you all need that many nanites btw

I only did the phase one

[rancid ravine]

well i don't, personally

[tough tendon]

class upgrades, buying upgrades from space stations, etc

[mossy breach]

Class upgrades are nanite hungry

Very hungry

[tough tendon]

yeah

[rancid ravine]

yeah

[mossy breach]

I still don't have anything S class lmao

[green canopy]

I guess I will just find mechanic planet and farm the animals in there

[pliant nimbus]

Anyone else having issues trying to use their Gravatino Coils to dismantle the fallen swarmer?

[calm narwhal]

man everyone is having issues in general

[tough tendon]

left click on a part a few times to break it loose

[calm narwhal]

this expedition felt like it had half finished code everywhere. and my game keeps crashing because it's never had this many players in one spot.

i'm a little frustrated.

[quaint stone]

wait so is the expedition unbeatable rn, cause we have to wait for the community progress to finish it up?

[calm narwhal]

the missions for the expedition refresh every 8 hours. that's why it's gonna take two months to complete it

[quaint stone]

i see i see

[pliant nimbus]

Tried that a few times, nothings working. I even left for an hour or two. Reloaded. Still not able to pick anything up from the swarmer.

Potential bug?

[calm narwhal]

also the factions are completely disproportionate

poor sages ain't even got a fair fight

my dad was put in weavers and is wasting his time, which somehow makes me more mad given they're number 1

idk man

sean murray might have figured out self forgiveness and stopped caring what people think

idea was awesome, execution has been so poor

[crimson coral]

New expedition?

[rancid ravine]

the most success i've had was with:

• aiming around until i saw the pickup circle on the reticle
• holding down RMB until the part came off the swarmer

[mossy breach]

It's not a coding issue it's a server issue imo

[crimson coral]

TELL ME THE SECRETS

[rancid ravine]

ECHO LOCATORS

[crimson coral]

(More like what it is)

[calm narwhal]

probably but even then there's code they can deploy to fix that

[crimson coral]

How long will it still last?
Havent played for weeks now

[rancid ravine]

two months or so

[calm narwhal]

two months. started the other day

[crimson coral]

Then i have time

Thanks

Any recap on what it is?

[rancid ravine]

funnily enough with the current pace it does look like we're failing

[calm narwhal]

slow crawl buildup to something unknown, and the expedition was disappointing enough so far that the suspense is non-existent

[crimson coral]

Oof

[pliant nimbus]

I’m on steamdeck. Not sure what RMB is

[calm narwhal]

not even two days in and i'm ready for it to be over ngl

[crimson coral]

Heh

[calm narwhal]

the other expeditions were better imo

[misty crow]

that would be a laugh, if the community goal failed, nobody gets the rewards

[crimson coral]

That doesnt sound nice

[rancid ravine]

right mouse button, the one that lets you pick up objects with the gravitino coil

[calm narwhal]

wish i could have finished the corvette expedition. got lost and couldn't find which star i was supposed to go to and gave up lol

[crimson coral]

Whats up with HG and their slow af expeditions rn?

[rancid ravine]

do a few quests to get yourself off the ground. do your first encounters. get a sentinel ship because the rust bucket that you get provided with is not gonna be fun to fly around in. then do missions (preferably we might all need to avoid sabotages, if this keeps going the way it is right now), get points for doing so and work towards the grand goal

[lavish stream]

aside from helping with construction, do we get anything from doing a lot of missions

[rancid ravine]

mission rewards

[lavish stream]

how do I get my hands on a sentinel ship again

[finite gull]

how long is this expidition on for,

[small acorn]

Dang this chat look more tedious and than my work slack channel lol 😂

[coral hinge]

It's live rn?

[finite gull]

it’s been live since yesterday

[rancid ravine]

look for Dissonance Resonators (the purple pillars guarded by corruptet Sentinels), specifically the ones with Echo Locators. pop one on a dissonant planet, go to the marked Harmonic Camp, solve the little math problem and Locate Dissonance Spikes. if you get a low class, get it anyway. you may need the money. if you get an A, keep it and use it

[crimson coral]

So
Its not an ordinary expedition with rewards

[coral hinge]

It wasn't live when I checked at launch

[rancid ravine]

it is live now, has been for a while

[crimson coral]

I will try it out on the weekend i guess

Something to do finally

[rancid ravine]

up until the third phase it plays like a regular expedition, after that our current objective is closer mechanically to a helldivers 2 major order

[past oasis]

oh so we gotta wait for phase 3

[crimson coral]

Heh
Okay

[rancid ravine]

a... two-month major order

[misty crow]

is Opredn the starting system?

[crimson coral]

Well
I will do it
Why not after all

[rancid ravine]

we gotta work towards it, more like

[lavish stream]

presumably located on planets with Dissonance?

[misty crow]

I figure the starting system might have some bases indicating some crashed sentinels

[rancid ravine]

yes. without dissonance you won't find any of those

[rancid ravine]

it does have an A-class one afaik

damn i should really mark mine. it's too good to be missed out on

[ancient pier]

You know what if we're meant to fail

[rancid ravine]

i don't think we're meant to fail

[misty crow]

do you have an S-class

[ancient pier]

Idk it's built like a knockoff helldivers and what is that game if not failing successfully

[gloomy raven]

Any hotfixes yet?

[past oasis]

literally fighting the hive 😭

[pliant nimbus]

Still not sure what’s wrong but I genuinely can’t pick up Jack shit with my gravitino coil

[past oasis]

u dont pick it up

[rancid ravine]

the next best thing: an A-class with two supercharged slots right next to each other

[past oasis]

js keep hitting click on the stuff with red dots

the wings should fly off

[misty crow]

ah cool

[pliant nimbus]

I have been but it’s not doing anything all the pieces fell off but there’s nothing else showing up after

[lethal mirage]

Dumb question ||where's the hive of glass? I went up to it before i had the mission to do that and now i can't find it again||

[past oasis]

make sure u get it right in the back and the front

the eye

and the engine

theres also a part inside the engine

[sweet hornet]

For the drone, tear the insides out like an animal with gravitino gun.

[past oasis]

actually not inside the engine but in the ship behind the engine

[lethal mirage]

Does it show up again in other systems

[rancid ravine]

||will be unlocked later, currently the first encounter is the only one you can have||

[lethal mirage]

...i saw it in the system with ||the crashed swarmer||

[rancid ravine]

||kills you near-instantly and is only there to be scary and foreboding. For Now...||

[rancid ravine]

it's in every system you warp to

[lethal mirage]

||when i went up to it it just teleported off||

[rancid ravine]

strange. haven't had that happen yet

[lethal mirage]

It did it the first time too

Its afraid of me

[rancid ravine]

do you have the ||Devoured|| milestone complete?

[lethal mirage]

And my C class fighter

[lethal mirage]

No

[rancid ravine]

odd

[lethal mirage]

Im tbe chosen one fr it saw what i did in my exterminator expedition

[pliant nimbus]

Thanks, finally got it figured out.

[elfin magnet]

So, do we still not know what these Traveller fragments are?

[rancid ravine]

they're fragments of the average traveller's entire personality

[elfin magnet]

I meant whet either is keeping track in the prismatic core, sorry

[rancid ravine]

as in, how the score is calculated?

[elfin magnet]

Yeah

[rancid ravine]

or how the fragments are assigned?

[elfin magnet]

Those words

[half stirrup]

I can’t get my Xbox one series S to update NMS. Can someone reach out to me who might know another way of fixing the issue besides the obvious turning it off and turning it back on again. I did that and I did the hard reset. I even uninstalled the game and reinstalled it again but it still says “version mismatch..” 🙏🏽

[elfin magnet]

How its calculated

[rancid ravine]

by points. not by the amount of missions done themselves but specifically by the amount of points each of them yield (or take away)

[jolly maple]

upd isnt out on xbox i dont think

[half stirrup]

Oh

[agile zodiac]

Anyone know how to build a corvette in this expedition? I tried going to a space station and it wouldn't let me.

[rancid ravine]

you can't. it's unfortunate

[jolly maple]

also whats the progress on polos machine

[rancid ravine]

next to none last time i checked

[agile zodiac]

Thing is, I have definitely encountered people in corvettes

so they're getting their hands on them somehow

[thick current]

Gonna try on steam deck but im very nervous. I've never joined an expedition.

[rancid ravine]

possibly from outside the expedition, simply warping in by portal code?

[spare valley]

ya

[ancient pier]

True this probably is in the normal mode of euclid if that McDonald's portal exists

[rancid ravine]

doing sabotages does slow down construction efforts by 22%

[valid roost]

Hiya genuine question about starting an expedition on your main save but is anyone else not able to copy their ship over or is that intended for this expedition?

[rancid ravine]

that is intended. you should go find a sentinel interceptor

or redeem a reward ship at the anomaly if you have any

[unkempt spear]

So how long is this expedition going to take?

[thick current]

It's up for 2 months it seems

[lavish stream]

are dissonance resonators rare or something

[proper girder]

...huh

[cinder minnow]

endless moral dilemmas

[modest escarp]

however long it takes people to do the faction missions in phase 3

[rancid ravine]

22% in rate reduction if everybody does it by the way

[spiral tinsel]

Why is phase 3 counter measures such a grind

[cinder minnow]

We must all do it together

[rancid ravine]

i think they might have expected more players as well. but yeah, there's also the expectation of us not being so selfish

[thick current]

I'll help in anyway I'm able.

[rancid ravine]

which, currently it does appear to me as if we are spamming sabotages at every opportunity. hell, i'm guilty of it myself

[proper girder]

The expedition is surprisingly short.

Only like... what, 3 parts?

[pliant nimbus]

That’s how I’m playing so far pretty enjoyable

[vestal pebble]

It's gonna take weeks

[rancid ravine]

third part is gonna take forever, is the catch

[spiral tinsel]

Construct the Prismatic core? This is gonna take weeks sometimes I just wanna speed run it coz I'd rather play on a actual save and not this

[cinder minnow]

That's because this last part will be ongoing for many weeks most likely

[proper girder]

Huh. Why's that?

[pliant nimbus]

Anyone else Team Royal?

[proper girder]

(I'm not there yet)

[spiral tinsel]

I find expedition boring

[modest escarp]

ye s but the 3d one will take months

[cinder minnow]

Then go play on your actual save

[lethal mirage]

Me

[spiral tinsel]

I want the rewards

[thick current]

That's good to know. I have the lcd model.

[pliant nimbus]

Think by time August 10 yr anniversary drops it’ll be important what team we’re on

[proper girder]

Then don't bitch about it being boring.

[proper patio]

[modest escarp]

wear my green guys at

[pliant nimbus]

I was fishing around for a while but managed to get the Oled, they had ran out of the LCD by time I went to purchase

[terse geyser]

The 8 hours timer is hell, any idea if they are planning to change that? :(

[spiral tinsel]

Nah I have a right to express opinion

[pliant nimbus]

Currently waiting for the steam machine. Got the steamdeck and haven’t looked back at a console. PC all the way.

[unkempt spear]

Im board too...

[lethal mirage]

Doubt it

[spiral tinsel]

Of what

[pliant nimbus]

Damn, was hoping they would still keep it relevant

[lethal mirage]

Though i dont know anything

[river oyster]

cant hop on someone tell me the progress so far and give it to me gently

[unkempt spear]

Board of waiting 2 hrs.

[modest escarp]

1% last time i checked

[lethal mirage]

||WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE HIVE OF GLASS CAN DESTROY AN ATLAS STATION IT JUST KILLED GOD||

[spiral tinsel]

For new missions? That's another reason I'm not enjoying this one

[thick current]

Yeah I'm suprised it discontinued but yeah im gonna try my best.

[river oyster]

gng what

[spiral tinsel]

It's ain't god more of a anti virus I guess

[lethal mirage]

||iirc atlas runs the simulation, closest thing to god we got||

[modest escarp]

ya they made it go so slow

[rancid ravine]

||(to be fair it only ever archived it, that's what Glass does. and it's a small part of said god. still impressive but not the end)||

[spiral tinsel]

||yes but it's mostly a anti virus more of a protection thing to keep the simulation intact or something I don't remember||

[rancid ravine]

||the ATLAS is the server this universe is running on, so||

[unkempt spear]

Ive never liked the Atlas anyways. How do i join glass?

[misty crow]

found a sentinel B class 39+27....

[spiral tinsel]

||so more of a hosting service I still wanna know what the real world is like||

[proper girder]

...why are all of my colors locked off in the character customizer?

I can only choose this one shade of blue

[rancid ravine]

that's intended. we're all meant to use our team colors

[proper girder]

We have team colors? Huh.

[rancid ravine]

we do!

[ancient pier]

Congratulations weaver

[rancid ravine]

welcome to the weaver club

[ancient pier]

I'm a sage tho cause green is cooler

[unkempt spear]

Go green

[rancid ravine]

i'm a weaver which is fitting given the amount of time i spend building bases and corvette/freighter interiors

[proper girder]

Was I randomly assigned blue?

[rancid ravine]

you were

[ancient pier]

I religiously scan data so sage fits me too

[rancid ravine]

sage is close but i'm still more of a weaver, probably

even though i do like simply warping to random coordinate codes (or deciphering the ones the game gives me ciphers for) and exploring those solar systems

and taking lots of screenshots, of course

[frosty spire]

Is there a new ship or just parts for the corvette customization? Because I saw a black red ship what’s that

[unkempt spear]

I just build bases and collect galaxies.

[misty crow]

huh, I'm in a building and the sentinels aren't giving up...

corrupt ones

[zenith nacelle]

Expo is a ruthless time sink. I’m going to pop in once a day just to hit the three missions then go back to my main game. Idk why I’m bothering I’ve got the gun and don’t like the new customisation options but I’ll be cold and dead in the ground as a weaver before I see any of you other arbitrarily picked titles get out in front of me. TEAM WEAVER

Speaking of, who’s in the lead atm?

[lethal mirage]

Weaver

[rancid ravine]

i've got good news

great news, in fact

[lethal mirage]

By about 300 points

[rain laurel]

So I'm on the construct the prismatic core step do we have to wait for 54 days or something

[pliant nimbus]

Team Royal FTW

[zenith nacelle]

HELL YEAH ALL HAIL WEAVER, THE ONE TRUE ARBITRARILY PICKED COLOUR AND TEAM NAME!

[lethal mirage]

...sorry that was when i checked 30 seconds ago they're winning by about 1,500

[zenith nacelle]

I don’t know you, I’ve never met you, but f you and your random colour and title

[rancid ravine]

we have to keep doing missions. preferably without Sabotage as that slows down progress by 22% per player

[zenith nacelle]

I think the rng teams must be borked, or maybe people are more likely to get other teams in different time zones?

[rain laurel]

😐

[rancid ravine]

(but that would require a ceasefire agreement of sorts as everybody wants to get first place)

[lethal mirage]

I think itd actually based off your choices in the intro sequence

[zenith nacelle]

So if we avoid sabotage it’ll bring everyone up quicker?

[rancid ravine]

it will

[topaz brook]

sabotage rewards are genuinely bad design for something like this

like, doesn't even reward the team doing the mission any

[sweet hornet]

BUT, your team might not get teh prestige that's supposed to stick in teh anomaly.

[rancid ravine]

it'll let us complete the expo a lot quicker if we avoid sabotage

[lethal mirage]

It even forces you to run 1 for the completion

[zenith nacelle]

My choices were gentle pragmatist, I think weaver is a bad option if that’s the case. From what royals are supposed to be I’d assume I’d be closer to that

[topaz brook]

if it was like +3 to team, -1 to the other teams then maybe

[rain laurel]

Welp guess Ill wait then that or abandon the expedition see y'all in a couple of weeks based on the progress meter

[rancid ravine]

it's not. it seems to be randomly assigned

[lethal mirage]

Ah

[zenith nacelle]

Yeah so we all only do it once to get the expo done and then just grind the other two for the next two months. Peak content, well done HG

[lethal mirage]

So sabotage is actively sabotaging the entire thing

[sweet hornet]

There should have been a split, progress for EXP, and group prestige.

[rancid ravine]

Yes

[topaz brook]

after a day and only 1% construction? I uh, don't entirely think this thing is gonna be completed

I can't imagine this rate of missions is gonna be kept up

[sweet hornet]

Then again, maybe a guaranteed fail could be part of the design....

[zenith nacelle]

Just do the other two daily like brushing your teeth and we’ll all get thru it together. But we also have to bitch relentlessly so HG never tries this shit again. Imagine if this is the core gameplay loop for LNF? We have to be emphatic that there’s already enough timegating in quests like the living ship, although there it’s semi justifiable and skippable by moving your system clock. This is just annoying.

[zenith nacelle]

I said this last night: we are the swarm. We’re mindless drones completing repetitive and mindless tasks in the aim of a group win, that’s literally a hive or colony.

[lethal mirage]

Ive seen helldivers community say this every time there's a seemingly insurmountable task and they pulled up their boots and got it done
then again im not putting on my boots

I did my part with my
checks math
6 total points

[zenith nacelle]

Just treat it like the QS missions. Check into your expo account once a day then go back to your main. So many MMORPGs do this, it’s engagement farming. In lieu of engaging content it’s a time gated grind. It’s a bit gross but they already do it, and it doesn’t have to be a chore bc at least the missions are quick.

[topaz brook]

there is zero chance i'm logging into nms twice daily to do missions for two months i'll be so real

[zenith nacelle]

Imagine if they were making us do survey missions ugh

[topaz brook]

yeah I don't do those anymore either (and at least they can build up for a few days...)

[zenith nacelle]

I totally get that, if I wasn’t already trying to get all the Pokémon titles and unlocks I wouldn’t even be playing atm. Waiting for more subnautica 2 and crimson desert

[lethal mirage]

I only ever did QS missions to get my living ship and I think one armor set

[pliant nimbus]

So we’d both be in the same group

[charred magnet]

Anyone else have this?

[topaz brook]

i did QS missions for a while, and then gave up on them

[lunar egret]

cant stand the standard ship so i made a solar one

[zenith nacelle]

Also helldivers has a very active game master, they seem to just have put us on set and forget. I assume they’re giving themselves a bit of breathing room while they work on content, I’m willing to bet they haven’t even completed the end game for this expo yet.

[zenith nacelle]

I like having really vibrant gardens so I do all the QS to unlock plants for my base

[topaz brook]

i'll admit to some light save-editing in that regard

[zenith nacelle]

No need for it to be an admission, you bought the game, play it how you want 🙂

[lunar egret]

yeah i dont understand anyone getting mad at that lol

[zenith nacelle]

I’ve used services to unlock expo rewards bc my OG save file which I started the month the game came out got broke and I lost literally everything including expo and qs rewards. I used some service to unlock the things I wanted.

That wasn’t so bad. The base I’d built as a memoriam for my little brother is gone, that stung. Used to just idle there when I was missing him.

[lunar egret]

while i dont do save edit, I do mod a lot

[zenith nacelle]

Not salty, these things happen btw

[frosty pine]

Backups and versioning is the way to go with stuff you really care for

[topaz brook]

yeah, generally prefer it too

[lavish stream]

holy found an A class interceptor 😄

[zenith nacelle]

Yeah, I do that now. I still hold out hope that the HD from my old ps4 still has a local copy but no idea how I’d access it.

[lunar egret]

mostly qol mods and some cosmetic, but my favorite is changing the suits voice to something I like.

[topaz brook]

i've helped make a few

real happy with add missing trails (not biased)

[cobalt raptor]

Are we ever going to get an expedition where we aren't expected to jog 500 miles from our ship for the game to let us place down an extractor?

[frosty pine]

Disable internet or firewall block the game before starting any expedition

Having multiplayer off is not enough because discovery services still downloads bases

[cobalt raptor]

Feels like an easier solution is to just give us a blueprint for Portable Refiner at Expedition start for the same price as the refiner usually is

Really shouldn't be a recurring issue like this.

[frosty pine]

An easier solution would be to not download bases by default if you have multiplayer off 😂

[remote thunder]

If you can't build a refiner, try to go back near your ship site and build it there, there's a bubble around the ship that allows building regardless of other player bases.

[misty crow]

agreed!

[cobalt raptor]

Honestly it should be a solution independently of Multiplayer, while that'd be a good solution I'd rather not be locked off from playing expeditions with my friends just to progress.

[misty crow]

anyone know which base is next to the A-Class on the starter planet?

[frosty pine]

Also having a portable refiner would remove the funny moments like trying to get the stuff inside and randomly getting thrown to the air by a gravity anomaly

[cobalt raptor]

feel like having the game be functional takes priority over funny moments

[frosty pine]

They already told you the solution tho

Build next to the ship

[primal dock]

anyone else unable to copy their ship from main save?

[frosty pine]

You should be able to setup a refiner there

Not a base tho

[cobalt raptor]

Yeah, that's what I'm doing, still an issue that the game doesn't communicate that to you.

[misty crow]

it's not available

[cobalt raptor]

Especially since you have to go a good distance just to get a metal to refine since the game won't let you mine close to your ship

[remote thunder]

fwiw, dismantling rocket launcher will give you 100 copper+50 condensed carbon

[primal dock]

some sort of message saying that its not available or removing the text saying you can would be nice so that i didn't waste time trying to figure it out

[cobalt raptor]

And this isn't something the game guides you towards, which is still an issue

[frosty pine]

All resources needed to fix the ship were close tho. I think everything was at most 600m away from the ship.

[remote thunder]

nah, that's just game knowledge

speedrunning tricks

[cobalt raptor]

like my issue is that all these solutions are "do this thing the game doesn't hint towards"

[frosty pine]

This expedition is fairly bad for newcomers

[cobalt raptor]

I'm not even a newcomer lol

[frosty pine]

There have been other more akin to new players

[cobalt raptor]

it's just kind of shit design all around

I've been playing since Aquarius, and I've done almost all of the expeditions since. Just feel like these issues should've been patched up in some way by now.

[lavish stream]

has anyone tried doing the expedition with other players? So far I haven't seen any activity that would benefit from having a team

[dapper dew]

Tbh this expedition hasn’t been too bad so far, though I have seen a few instances of booleans not calling the player’s name correctly.
Otherwise it’s nothing a quick google search couldn’t handle if I forgot mechanics

[sweet hornet]

Favorite annoyances in NMS: Anomaly NPC's closing their UI when you buy stuff... just why.... Hold E to do X, why not an option to tap E for us long timer players, with a warning that you won't get a second chance to think. O, and multiplayer sync issues.

[frosty pine]

Isn't there an option already to disable the hold interaction thing?

[cobalt raptor]

yes

[sweet hornet]

I feel silly now, or just senile.

[cobalt raptor]

tbf it's in the accessibility options, which I feel a lot of players might not check.

[sweet hornet]

Feels so much better

[frosty pine]

I always check those options in any game because sometimes they have settings that should not be accesibility specific ones 😂

[sweet hornet]

Also, for those going into expedition, keep the shot gun and rocket launcher. Those little swarmers a pita to hit some times.

[frosty pine]

Like, those should be normal gameplay settings

[sweet hornet]

darn right

[potent rose]

Is it true that this expidition is time gated?

[frosty pine]

Like most expeditions, but yea

[sweet hornet]

nods yes, missions have a timer til you can do them again.

[potent rose]

No like theres a 6 hour thing?

[frosty pine]

Also yes

8hs

[sweet hornet]

8 for teh first one, then I got a 4h timer after o.O

[potent rose]

So I can't get the armor after doing the regular 5 expiditions?

[frosty pine]

It's always 8hs and not based on you

Like next one should be in 48mins

Regardless of when you did your missions

[potent rose]

Apologies, Deciding whether not to play for the armor

[sweet hornet]

O_o rly, I did mine at lunch like 4h ago and their open again. Correction, in another hour.

[shrewd onyx]

8 hectoseconds?

[remote thunder]

there's only 3 phases in exp22 - we still have 2 months to complete it - well before then i believe we'll have community research done

dont worry

hop in

[cobalt raptor]

oh damn there really are only 3 okay

[remote thunder]

do your progression, no need to rush

[lunar egret]

plenty of time to get your blood going with a souls game while waiting too.

[cobalt raptor]

no sequence breaking it seems though

not that i mind

[potent rose]

Okay, Am coming back then, Taking a break from subnautica

[sweet hornet]

||The atlas station getting blown up, was a nice touch though.||

[potent rose]

well technically my base is underwater

[lunar egret]

i was about to lose it when i thought my save bugged out

but then all the stuff i built/customized were there

[frosty pine]

I reloaded and tried to win

[sweet hornet]

Hit the middle! Hit the middle! Hit the middle! Hit the middle! Hit the middle! They said lmao.

[lunar egret]

was about to as well, the white flash tho reminded me my cod days getting flashed til next friday.

[primal wagon]

Since we are like waiting forever on the completion of the prismatic core and we are just doing out daily chores. Has anyone found a location for an S class sentinel yet? I own a A class already but have only found B and C after that.

[lunar egret]

you can just upgrade it to S

[spare valley]

A little lost again.
Just completed 'Sabotage' and am on 'Countermeasures'. It's telling me to go to the core and take missions but the 3 missions are done. How do I continue this?

[primal wagon]

True. just gotta farm some nanites I guess.

[solemn bane]

Hurry up and wait. It's a community goal.

The idea is to get you to log on every few hours to repeat those missions.

[misty crow]

welcome to the same spot as everyone else

[spare valley]

So.....my expedition is done till then?

[solemn bane]

Basically. The idea is to get you to log on every few hours to repeat those missions. But it'll complete eventually regardless of our help, as it always does.

[spare valley]

Ah. OK. So the missions do have a timer

Now I see the timer. TY guys.

[primal wagon]

We did make it to 1% of progress lol

[solemn bane]

Keep going, everyone. Just 99% to go. I'm counting on you.

Or don't, I don't care.

[wild trail]

countermeasure is so lame they need to lower the time frame

[frosty pine]

All missions are lame tbh 👀

[spare valley]

If it were closer to 10m I would not of logged out. 40m is too long so sit around

[solemn bane]

If only I could dismantle space toilets more frequently

[shrewd onyx]

Hah. Fun bug: just summoned a corvette onto a small landing pad in the Anomaly…

[tidal pollen]

I don't necessarily find the missions lame, just the lack of variety

and also the little amount

[shrewd onyx]

I see others replicating the bug

[west ingot]

Do we just need to wait for it to hit 100% and just farm missions?

[royal comet]

remember how last night weavers had 100 more players, now its 400 more

[solemn bane]

You have to do the former. You don't have to do the latter.

[mossy breach]

how in the fuck

[royal comet]

i think the system has to be favoring them

[mossy breach]

last I checked those numbers were at 5000

[west ingot]

Former? I'm lost lol

[solemn bane]

You have to wait for it to hit 100%. You don't have to farm missions.

[hazy vector]

you mean weavers

[royal comet]

yeah sorry, fixing now

[west ingot]

Ugh that's gonna take forever lol

[frosty pine]

The numbers will probably be artificially pumped in a few days

[cobalt raptor]

my shields got destroyed frame one because the game decided to send ssentinel intercepters alongside the first swarm fight

[toxic pier]

And the points gap is massive now. It's BS.

[solemn bane]

I suspect it will take exactly as long as HG wants it to.

[royal comet]

weavers was 1000 points ahead even when the player count was only 100 ahead

[mossy breach]

Former means the "first" thing, Latter means the "second" thing
so he's saying the former, wait for it to reach 100%

[toxic pier]

When the rest get on it'll auto balance out. I'll quit the expedition if weavers have like 1k more than both teams.

I don't mind losing on a fair field.

I get mad when I get cheated.

[pulsar belfry]

can anyone copy their own ships into the expedition?

[frosty pine]

That's what losers tend to say

[mossy breach]

nope

[mossy breach]

Sounds like a skill of issue my friend

[royal comet]

im not so, as i said, they previously only had a 100 player lead now its 4 hundred, thats a 4 percent preference for weavers

[toxic pier]

Try playing chess with someone who has queens only and you only get one rook and all pawns.

[royal comet]

and thats more than just random chance i think

[solemn bane]

Yes, but not through conventional means. It's disabled in the expedition config, but you can edit the config on PC. Save editing is also possible there.
