nms-expedition

[radiant venture]

well then get some more, you'll complete the 1mil unit mission right away

get some stuff from the derelict, thats what i did

[summer oyster]

Not in one session but yeah DO NOT DIE!!

[weak parcel]

you will have to die at least once just to repair your ship

[radiant venture]

it keeps your milestones but you have to start over

[weak parcel]

it keeps phase rewards, milestones need to be repeated

[radiant venture]

oh yeah sorry thats what i meant oops

[worldly cargo]

Okay gotcha, I had heard about the first death but it seems like you only want to die that once, but overall if you can make it through it seems like a shorter one yeah?

[weak parcel]

no worries

[weak parcel]

we don't know, at least I don't, it's all very new

[summer oyster]

It won't be too long it seems yes if you don't die.

[worldly cargo]

Alright rad, that's all I need to know, I have a newborn but I'm hoping I can get it done within the 6 weeks, thanks friends!!

[weak parcel]

but yeah I think avoiding death is generally a good idea

other than the required one

[ashen shore]

How do I use the memory reonator?

[reef raven]

Can I save anywhere? Or are there bad places to leave

[quartz moth]

if you really hardcore, you die when you done xD

cant claim that i am tho, i died 2 minutes in

[reef raven]

Everyone dies 2 minutes in 😂

It’s part of the mission

[ashen shore]

How far are you guys because im stuck?

[quartz moth]

i didnt even know xd

[radiant venture]

I love how completely universal the first death is yeah

[reef raven]

What you stuck on?

I just got the memory resonator

[ashen shore]

That I can't find were to use it

[radiant venture]

I'm about to get to the third anchor

on the ice planet

[quartz moth]

i was stuck to, then i just started collecting warpdrive to the anchor 5, i proberly skipped alot of cool stuff tho :S idk if i have to restart

[reef raven]

Is it worth holding on to the multi tool expansion slot? It brings me too much heat

It’s already filled my slots for multi tool

[ashen shore]

Then how do I use the memory thing?

[radiant venture]

no

i honestly just reloaded the game every time it gave me more of those @reef raven

[reef raven]

@ashen shore press the resonator it will tell you where to@go

[radiant venture]

because its random

[radiant venture]

hold E on the resonator when youre on that infested ice planet (the one with the first anchor)

[reef raven]

Or square on PS

[ashen shore]

Oh the ice plannet. I hope I can find it again.

[reef raven]

Do you already have the resonator? And it’s in your inventory?

[ashen shore]

Yeah

Keeps saying loop to low

[reef raven]

Head to the Earth looking planet

And run it again

[tired fox]

Does this expedition give the blue starship trail like the one shown in the trailer?

[radiant venture]

yeah

[tired fox]

Not to keen on trying this expedition

[radiant venture]

you have to be careful yeah

[tired fox]

[dense basin]

okay, if it keeps the phase completions when you die, you wouldn't have to redo the milestones for the phases you've already done, right? (unless you want/need those rewards)

[tired fox]

I don't have time to redo man

[reef raven]

Can I just get out my ship at a space station and it will save correctly?

[radiant venture]

you will have to redo it once at the start 100% to fix your ship

after that its up to you 😉

[weak parcel]

it's supposed to get easier over time as community plays (not sure how that works) , 6 weeks left, no rush. it's day 1

[reef raven]

Or do I need to hit a save point somewhere

[tired fox]

Hmm

[summer oyster]

I am unsure if the rewards are kept when you die but you have to start over the milestones at least for full completion.

[dense basin]

Oh I don't care about the rewards that much - I am mainly concerned with whether the phase completes count for finishing the expedition

[weak parcel]

end of phase rewards are still claimable

[dense basin]

or do I legit have to do every single thing in one go

[radiant venture]

lmfao i just got an exotic ship

[reef raven]

How does saving work with these permadeath expeditions ?

[weak parcel]

no manual save reloads, autosaves only

[dense basin]

You can still use it for reloading

[summer oyster]

Yeah your going to have to do the milestones all again it seems for finishing the expedition if you die.

[weak parcel]

but like you can't reverse a death by revisiting a past manual save

[dense basin]

Not sure what you mean, I manual save on my freighter and then reload to get rid of buggy stuff. T

Oh, no

lol

[quartz moth]

am i doing the expedition wrong, i havent experienced any of the things from the trailer

[dense basin]

woof

They're actively trying to kill you, too

[alpine topaz]

Fantastic one this. It's my first expedition.

[weak parcel]

unless you maybe manage to quit before the game registers a new save

[dense basin]

I play survival and did the perma achievement and this is rougher

[alpine topaz]

But does this mean if u die... U literally start the whole thing again.. With the broken ship?

[misty sapphire]

Do you have to go from the very beginning of phase 1 if you die on another phase

[alpine topaz]

I died..but the game crashed, I thought I lost it, but I restarted before it registered the death.. And I respawned at my ship

[misty sapphire]

sigh

[weak parcel]

saved by the crash

[dense basin]

nice

[radiant venture]

what the fk?

[alpine topaz]

Yeah and it was ironically the first time this game crashed for me. Only played for past month or two

[radiant venture]

i just reloaded and my ship changed

maybe i shouldnt have bought the exotic ship lmaoo

[alpine topaz]

That's strange, so it bugged out with ur ship

[reef raven]

How did you die

[radiant venture]

yeah, i dont really mind tho its gorgeous now 😝

[halcyon saffron]

Any ETA on a patch to fix claiming the final reward?

[alpine topaz]

I was running down a cliff to get to a waypoint, and there was an alien attacking me, and then my hazard suit dropped cos the planet was toxic

[weak parcel]

we're not sure that's a bug

[alpine topaz]

I was pretty close to getting back to my ship

[supple walrus]

What do you mean? The trailers are always a bit like a fast food menu. The burgers always look nicer than how they come out. They obviously set up the trailer to get cinematic shots. But there isn’t really a way to “do it wrong”

[alpine topaz]

Then died and game crashed

[reef raven]

@alpine topaz that after anchor 1?

[supple walrus]

Just follow the milestones and you’ll get there.

[reef raven]

Just want to be prepared

[weak parcel]

more people from the community may need to complete goals before full unlock, or it's a bug...

[ashen shore]

the universal loop percentage thing?

[quartz moth]

I just understood that expeditions was a different way of playing, where it was set up a bit more planned

[supple walrus]

Yeah, this expedition is a little different since it includes a community goal aspect, sort of like the nexus missions progressing the rewards track for the quicksilver vendor

[quartz moth]

I mean i dont mind this event being like the original game, a fresh start is always thrilling to me somehow

[livid viper]

Anyone been able to complete the goal where you use your memory resonator? It keeps telling me to go to a planet that doesn’t exist and I’m getting a little frustrated lol

[supple walrus]

Yeah, it’s a bit more guided in that there are specific objectives to complete milestones, but how you go about each objective is up to you and you can complete them in any order.

[radiant venture]

also do we all get the same freighter or did i just score this beauty #nms-photomode-gallery message

[median ember]

Anyone??

[turbid cedar]

gotta say, this is my least favorite expedition so far in terms of gameplay

[reef raven]

@median ember I’m sure it’s the same

[supple walrus]

Also, the big rewards you unlock from completing each phase, as well as the final reward, are all going to be available to claim on any other save once unlocked

[quartz moth]

Ah okay that is interesting, do i keep the new alt account after the expedition?

[turbid cedar]

not a fan of the whole "dying resets everything" part

[radiant venture]

i actually kinda like it

its a challenge for an awesome reward

[quartz moth]

cause i found a exotic ship, but i dont suppose i can transfer that to my main xd

[radiant venture]

makes you try out permadeath

[turbid cedar]

same reason i haven't started a permadeath save yet

[vagrant remnant]

i think it'd be more fun if it reset your equipment and position back to the start, but kept your milestone progress

make the journey longer or whatever

[radiant venture]

hahaha me too

[supple walrus]

It’s not an alt account, just a new save. Previous expeditions converted to normal saves after the expedition time period wrapped up. This one will convert to a survival save in 6 weeks when it wraps up

[dense basin]

Honestly I would have expected a bit more carry over in a roguelike. Like, you get to keep your milestones. Even if you got nothing else. Having to start completely over - you may as well start a new save

[drifting niche]

If you die during the exp7 do you lose your inventory or progress?...

[summer oyster]

Yes that's the worst thing in this expedition.

[quartz moth]

niice

[weak parcel]

after expedition ends it should convert to a normal save, based on past expeditions, but this current expedition is very new so we don't know

[vagrant remnant]

both

[quartz moth]

that is cool

[dense basin]

They said it converts to a survival save

[radiant venture]

what if i transfer the memory things to a normal save 😈

[weak parcel]

ah, so there you go @quartz moth

[drifting niche]

So there's potential of not even being able to complete the expedition...?

[supple walrus]

Your milestone progress is kept, afaik. You just need to go back to the expedition tab and claim them. Some like the anchors still require you to arrive at the specific location to trigger it again.

[vagrant remnant]

nah your milestones go too. you only keep claimed phase rewards

[radiant venture]

My ship changed again lmaoo

[pearl frost]

Is this worth playing or not? This would be my first expedition

[radiant venture]

Red to white to blue

[shut pasture]

Hm I'm not getting the death milestone when I die. Is there a minimum playtime or slmething?

[radiant venture]

it is for me, also my first one

[weak parcel]

are you playing in a group? that's odd

[dense basin]

You'll find it pretty spicy but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try it

[drifting niche]

Ohhhh I'm not good at this game. Idk if I'll be able to actually complete this

[pearl frost]

Do I get anything worth while?

[radiant venture]

nope, just went from red to white to blue

[vagrant remnant]

just take it slow, squad up, make it easier for yourself. you can do it!!

[radiant venture]

now its white again what

i didnt even leave the space station

[dense basin]

Rewards are cosmetic + a living frigate for your other saves

[drifting niche]

I run solo and really don't have any friends

[pearl frost]

Ok I may have to check it out this weekend

[supple walrus]

Hmmm… I just avoided all that by not dying… yet. But I’ve also got like 800 hours in the game, so that experience has helped me avoid common causes of death.

I also claimed all my Twitch drops as soon as I got to the anomaly and scrapped all the A class Twitch ships for a cool 13 million units. Also got some upgrades out of them.

[dense basin]

Oh sweet, an exotic just flew into my freighter

[vagrant remnant]

fair. i go solo too. i think you'll get the hang of it, just go phase by phase

[weak parcel]

you'll encounter other players in game and there's lots of people here who can help

[vagrant remnant]

please tell me you've died already. you didn't skip the death milestone right?

[drifting niche]

Good thing I keep my PVP off

[dense basin]

I scrapped a couple of my twitch drops but I didn't claim them all because I suspect that I can only do that once and if I die, that's that.

[radiant venture]

i dont think its actually possible to skip?

[marsh geyser]

is anyone else having a bunch of lag during the expedition?

[supple walrus]

I died immediately after I started, before I even reached my ship. Killed by an animal. So yes I got the death milestone early on

[marsh geyser]

or is it just me?

[vagrant remnant]

okay good!!

[dense basin]

Rude to put two predators on that planet!

[radiant venture]

theyre supposed to kill you tho

[vagrant remnant]

i think it is theoretically skippable but probably hard for anyone to do normally

[pearl frost]

Probably from all the players hopping onto the expedition.

[dense basin]

Nah, survival has more predators generally

[radiant venture]

you cant get the herseal tho

[weak parcel]

yeah possibly with multi-player or mods

[supple walrus]

I just made a bunch of creature pellets and distracted them. Also tamed one and got a milestone from phase 2 done early

[marsh geyser]

i'm not on multiplayer just for that reason, but maybe it has an impact i'm too tired to know right now

[shut pasture]

Someone would have to give you hermetic seal

[alpine topaz]

Na not up to anchor 1 yet. I only repaired my crashed ship and explored. So haven't gone to polo yet.

[shut pasture]

Can you get hermetic seal bp from the anomaly?

[dense basin]

Nicely done. I got et before I noticed there was an animal near me. I was standing at my ship looking in my inventory like a noob

[marsh geyser]

just die and you get hermetic seal bp instantly when you reload

[weak parcel]

you can't reach the anomaly without a repaired ship which requires it

[alpine topaz]

I used my refinerer to then get the hermatic seal

[drifting niche]

Welp... I'm starting exp7... this one sounds like hell

[alpine topaz]

Resource

[shut pasture]

Good point

[dense basin]

You also won't be able to afford anything on the anomaly because the prices are x10 their normal prices

[alpine topaz]

Lmao.

[dense basin]

It's painful

[drifting niche]

I'm just thankful I can claim my golden vector from the anomaly

[dense basin]

I seriously hope we can reclaim those if we bite it

[summer oyster]

Yeah I saw that for the upgrade modules 😂

[alpine topaz]

Some tips starting off.. If you can find Data modules or even bones, u can sell them at settlements for early cash.

[supple walrus]

Once I got my freighter, I built all my storage rooms. Still need some upgrades to get the matter beam.

[radiant venture]

to get the blueprint you have to die

[dense basin]

If not, I might just make a new save if I die

[pearl frost]

Yea. It could be from the new update or something. I’m sure other people are going to have the same issue.

[dense basin]

I'm too far in

[drifting niche]

I spawned on a cliff....

[radiant venture]

me too bud, me too

[dense basin]

watch out for the fall damage 🙃

[drifting niche]

Died instantly

[shut pasture]

Lol I did too and the opening pan was just a janky wall. Imagine if it was the first time I played 😆

[quartz moth]

lool my ultimate triumph x11, has a little R2-D2 in the wing, thats so cute

[drifting niche]

Fluffing died instantly because I was on a sheer cliff face!!!

[marsh geyser]

also question, should i die a lot and upgrade my mem frags or just keep pushing forward?

[dense basin]

I feel like we might need a Gunter note to tell people the differences between normal and survival because there's going to be some rude shocks

[radiant venture]

you have to die so good that you get that out the way

[dense basin]

Die once, don't die again

[drifting niche]

I did get a reward tho

[marsh geyser]

i remember seeing something that if you died a lot it would upgrade memfrags, but maybe it's random?

[marsh geyser]

in game too

[weak parcel]

death is required at first anyway, at least you didn't waste an hour loading up on resources before realizing that like I did

[supple walrus]

Low key I hope this is an experiment for future balance changes to normal mode. Normal mode is so easy it’s basically creative mode with extra steps. The upgrades at the anomaly make a lot of the rest of the game redundant, especially the synthesis laboratory (making factory overrides irrelevant) and the base building kiosk (which makes most of the early “expanding the base” quest irrelevant, especially the Exocraft Specialist).

[drifting niche]

THERES 3 PRED TYPES HERE

Oh I'm in a lot of trouble. Really really bad planet

[dense basin]

I can see how you'd feel that way if you've been playing a long time, but it's prohibitive if you haven't been.

[radiant venture]

be sure to tame one actually @drifting niche

[dense basin]

We all start on the same planet 😄

[radiant venture]

for a future milestone

[dense basin]

wish me luck, it's derelict time

[supple walrus]

There’s probably a way they can rebalance things for experienced players while still providing a decent on-ramp for new players.

[limber ivy]

If you need credits. when u first get to anomally, visit Twitch drop person and pick up your ships. they are there. you can scrap them for millions of unites and vendor the upgrades for nanites

[drifting niche]

Correction, there's 4 different predatory species on this planet

[granite vine]

That's genius

[supple walrus]

I got like 15 million from doing that

[radiant venture]

just loot the derelict and you get millions too tbf

[weak parcel]

assuming you have twitch drops anyway, it's not essential

[limber ivy]

i have to give credit to a viewer in my stream this morning...but yeh...its legit

[supple walrus]

Just kept the Golden Vector, the Twitch hauler, and a Twitch explorer

[dense basin]

Alas, we don't all have those

[limber ivy]

grok said its ok to do it...so im rolling with it

🙂

[supple walrus]

Yeah, it’s only really viable if you’ve been claiming all the Twitch drops since they first added Twitch drops. Or if you used a save editor to add the Twitch drops to your account if you missed them. 👀

[drifting niche]

Okayyyyyyyy Iv actually spawned on the worst possible planet....

[radiant venture]

everyone spawns on the same one

[supple walrus]

It’s the same planet for everyone

[drifting niche]

Why are there so many preds

[weak parcel]

woah, makes me nervous when people take me too seriously, but still if HG didn't want people to claim them they'd have prevented it

[hushed steeple]

I ‘luckily’ did the death requirement right away. Got jumped by 4 predators before I could even get to the ship.

[limber ivy]

lol.. np...yeh i would think they thought of it already and decided its part of the game

[radiant venture]

Is a crashed freighter signal just a distress signal?

[ashen shore]

If you use maps, it’ll specifically say crashed freighter

I’ve finished all of the milestones except the storm crystals one, so I’m just twiddling my thumbs on this planet until a storm pops off

[radiant venture]

ive used 5 maps now and none

[wild wedge]

where do i go to get the hermatic seal

[heady radish]

Blueprint

[radiant venture]

die

[ashen shore]

you need to die to unlock it

[ashen shore]

Use them in a specific planets atmosphere

Most frustrating expedition ever

Not just in space

I just died and lost 5 hours of progress

[radiant venture]

It took me 7 tries but i got it

[ashen shore]

Do the anchor points make you lose less progress?

[radiant venture]

Nope, all over

[ashen shore]

The anchor points are just goals to reach

Also

The pain of finishing the expedition but the expedition doesn’t believe you

The liquid sun quest did that to me

Wym?

[muted shore]

I understood correctly that a new game begins in the expedition. But the rewards can then be obtained on the main character?

[ashen shore]

There are specific expidition rewards that you can unlock on all of your saves

It’s the point of doing them

They’re mostly cosmetic tho

[radiant venture]

got the trail guys, whoop whoop

[ashen shore]

I was just in a system named Amogus lmao

[ashen shore]

Here’s most of them

and hostiles spawned for no reason too, no scan or warning at all

[radiant venture]

they were trying to eject you

[muted shore]

That's it, I get it, thanks for the answer. And then I can't understand, I watch the video, people start playing for new characters. And I don't want to start the game from the beginning, except only because of the cosmetics, for which there were questions whether they were transferred to others by the saved ones.

[weak parcel]

we think completion is tied to some community goal, but I don't think anyone is sure currently, expedition is less than a day old

[ashen shore]

The expeditions aren’t your typical brand new game

They have a unique storyline and way of unlocking things

[silver current]

if i finish phase one of expedition and die do i have to redo it?

[radiant venture]

the trail looks kinda whacky ngl 🥴

[radiant venture]

yes

[weak parcel]

the milestones, yes, but rewards should be unlocked across saves

[silver current]

thanks. will probably take a long time to finish this one then

[radiant venture]

you have to die once for phase 1

[ashen shore]

Finished leviathan in 4.15 hours

Can’t complain

[radiant venture]

its my first expedition and im in phase 3 now

[silver current]

I think i might die a lot, never played this mode before

[radiant venture]

i already got like 7 hours lool

[muted shore]

This is understandable, it's just that there are a lot of farms, money, etc. on the main account, you can transfer cosmetics received from the expedition to the main account, this is good.

[ashen shore]

Tbh, some parts of the expedition are pretty unforgiving

I can’t tell you how many times I almost died to those whispering egg monsters

[silver current]

which ones should I be especiallcy careful about

[latent badge]

How to complete an additional task?

[craggy sun]

They kill you so fast too!

[ashen shore]

Whispering eggs sucked, if you land on a storm planet try to get 5 crystals so you don’t have to come back to it later

Save the sentinel missions for last so some of the memory fragments can give you better weapons

Oh and near the end of the expedition, one of the final missions is ||Clearing a derelict freighter, so make sure you have a weapon equipped on your multitool so you can actually deal with the enemies inside with more than a mining laser||

[weak parcel]

also, if you find a pillar shutdowns usually counts as sentinel kills if you want some cheap deaths

[radiant venture]

me who got 2 from geodes 👀

[craggy sun]

I done the whispering eggs on a mountainous planet and had to chase one of the green things done a 2000u cliff

[ashen shore]

I’ve never hated those little green balls more in my life

I literally cleared off the entire surrounding area before breaking an egg so it couldn’t roll inside of a rock or something

[craggy sun]

I’d also recommend a personal shield ||as sometimes the derelict defenses can catch you offguard away from cover||

[radiant venture]

how far into the expedition is that

[dreamy solar]

Maybe it's a massive yield?

[ashen shore]

One of the last few milestones

[weak parcel]

that doesn't really require a spoiler, just sound advice for any playthrough

[radiant venture]

hahaha i got one today too

[ashen shore]

anybody know a pirate system close to last rendevouz system?

[craggy sun]

Didn’t want to give anything away about what I replied to was about 😅

[lapis harness]

If you want to deal with sentinel pillars easily without risk, equip a positron ejector and upgrade it a bit, then do some bombing runs!

[dreamy solar]

378!

[ashen shore]

Can’t exactly equip a positron when the game controls what weapons you get in expidition

[lapis harness]

Oh really? You can't make it from the anomaly?

[ashen shore]

Nope

You only get the bare bones items from the anomaly

Everything else comes from memory fragments

[lapis harness]

Oh weird, guess I was lucky getting one out of a fragment

[ashen shore]

I went to the anomaly planning to get a scatter blaster

Jokes on me

I finished out the expedition with a bolt caster because it refused to give me any other weapons

Except 5 upgrades for cyclo on my starship

[lapis harness]

Cyclo is so useless oml

[ashen shore]

Cyclo was the only weapon I got on my starship

So I made use of it

[random escarp]

Anyone else get the bug where the scans are not reset, but the units are? So scanning and looping puts you at a disadvantage in units.

[ashen shore]

Other than photon cannons obv

[lapis harness]

I cheated and grabbed the GV as soon as I got to the anomaly then installed the positron I got

[weak parcel]

I don't think that's a bug

[ashen shore]

Tbh I was in the mindset of “The sooner I finish this expedition, the less the items I get matter”

So I just speedran it all

[lapis harness]

Ahh that makes sense, I usually take my time now

After blitzing exp 3 in nine hours on the last day, no more for me

[ashen shore]

I didn’t want to lollygag in a survival expedition

[random escarp]

Because of that, when you die the second time it's almost always better to delete the save... to reset the scans.

[ashen shore]

Realistically, you get plenty of units going through the expedition without trying to scan things

Standing still with a scanner open is just asking to get blown away

[weak parcel]

I mean, opinions will vary on that, it's annoying certainly, but it's not supposed to be easy, also depends how far in you die

[ashen shore]

Especially with the outlaw trafficking milestone

[lofty crest]

There's a really easy way to get units early on using creature pellets to farm ancestral memories to sell :)

[granite vine]

Anyone hire NPC's for their squadron to help?

[ashen shore]

Squadrons are Lowkey a joke if I’m being honest

[weak parcel]

if you can call squadrons help, but it's better than nothing... I guess

[ashen shore]

My main character has a squad of 2 S tier and 1 A tier and I barely notice them making an impact

[latent wigeon]

Anyone else finish expo 7 yet?

[radiant venture]

oop i got storm crystals and whispering eggs now

here we go

[lofty crest]

Squadrons are more like an entourage to make you feel cooler when in a dogfight 😄

[limber ivy]

Squadrons could have been really deep, but they seem like an unfinished idea

[latent wigeon]

Are you able to claim the leviathan frigate?

[ashen shore]

Let me hop on my main and try

[granite vine]

I figure with the squadron at least I won't die alone 🤷🏻‍♂️

[weak parcel]

indeed, on my main I have all squids and call it my 'squidron' still useless but looks cool

[latent wigeon]

On my expodition I've completed it. But when I go tp claim the final expo reward (leviathan frigate) it shows 0/5 phases completed

[lofty crest]

I'd say that maybe they can help draw fire away from you but 90% of the time they end up accidentally agroing freighters and getting you caught in the crossfire because the freighter's now trying to shoot your squadron ship flying 5 ft away from you

[random escarp]

Got link? Too new a strat to be indexed by Google.

[ashen shore]

That’s a known bug

[lofty crest]

Check in pins! I found out about it literally a few minutes after starting my exped save

[limber ivy]

Anyone get the whale frigate yet? Is it OP for missions?

[latent wigeon]

Oh?

[ashen shore]

The assumption is that you can’t claim the final reward because it’s considering the community “optional” milestones as part of your personal progress

So you haven’t technically beaten each phase entirely

[shut pasture]

Uh

[weak parcel]

is it a bug though? I don't think we have evidence of anyone reaching full completion yet?

[ashen shore]

I’ve fully completed it other than the community milestones

[shut pasture]

So if someone sends me an invite while I'm at the quicksilver vendor how do I get out

[random escarp]

I really don't get it... Is it like milking or killing?

[agile helm]

is there a way to remove a hyperdrive

[weak parcel]

right, that's what I mean, I think people just need to wait

[agile helm]

i installed the technology instead of the free one they gave me

[latent wigeon]

^^^

[shut pasture]

Oh nm I had to accept and leave

[weak parcel]

that's not complete

[latent wigeon]

Yes. It is.

[weak parcel]

look at the expedition complete checkbox, it's unchecked

[lofty crest]

milking!

[latent wigeon]

Its never checked until it's converted to a normal save when the expodition is over

[ashen shore]

Per the admins earlier, it’s a bug

[dense basin]

That's just how they look.

Last expedition did that too

[drifting niche]

Why did I get sodium? What is it used for or can I sell it?

[dense basin]

As long as it says "congratulations traveller" blah blah blah, it's done

[latent wigeon]

Expo 1 through 7 has done that

[sick mulch]

Where do I find the derelict freighter that it says I have come across?

[radiant venture]

bro stealing the eggs is the most stressful thing ever

[hushed steeple]

Sodium to recharge hazard protection.

[weak parcel]

per the admins that's the "assumption"

[drifting niche]

I'm just gonna sell this sodium so I can but mag ferrite

[ashen shore]

Yes and I would assume the admins have some idea what they’re talking about

[weak parcel]

I agree, just saying not a confirmed bug

[ashen shore]

Okay, instead of saying “Ye it’s a bug” I’ll just say “Oh yeah, I know you completed the expedition but the game has mixed feelings about that so you’ll have to wait a while before it agrees with you”

[weak parcel]

works for me

[ashen shore]

[quartz moth]

you remember what planet you got exotic on?

[radiant venture]

pfft no sorry tbh

whats the best way to get the eggs?

cause i dont wanna die lol

[ashen shore]

Tbh

[quartz moth]

ah no worries, had to ask

[ashen shore]

I just get them one at a time and wait for the swarm to go away

I was patient with my egg collecting

[weak parcel]

I don't actually know that anyone has completed the expedition, maybe it's a bug maybe community goals unlock it... do you know?

[radiant venture]

what i do now is just grab the core and get in my ship immediately

[ashen shore]

Either the community goals unlock it, or it’s broken

Those are the options

Because myself and a few other people have all the milestones done

[weak parcel]

right

[latent wigeon]

Sadly. Community goals should not affect it as they are labeled as optional

[ashen shore]

I agree with you

But alas

Here we are

[wraith venture]

[latent wigeon]

But it is a chance that they are bugging out the completion

[weak parcel]

I am aware, you all also are having the same issue, so either it's intentional or it isn't, so why are you telling me it's a confirmed bug?

[ashen shore]

I didn’t say it’s confirmed

I said it’s a known bug

Which it’s pretty known

And general consensus is that it’s a bug

[weak parcel]

ok, sorry, I feel I keep arguing with people over semantics

it's definitely a thing

[wraith venture]

PSA: If you have completed all the phases of the Leviathan expedition, but your final tab still says Phases 0/5 completed and are unable to claim your final expedition reward, you're not the only one.

We haven't confirmed the type of bug it is. It definitely looks like a UI bug, displaying misleading information. However, in respect to the time gating, that part is potentially / likely intentional. We are asking players to please, still submit the issue to HG's Zendesk. So it raises awareness at the very least. Run !hg for link below:

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

[ashen shore]

I was about to be like, redhot did you fall asleep on your keyboard

Spent 5 years typing

[wraith venture]

I hardly got any sleep

[ashen shore]

Go to bed

[runic flower]

is it true the new expedition is permadeath?

[ashen shore]

Atleast mods don’t have to give anyone the leviathan role yet since no one has technically beaten the expedition

[runic flower]

uh oh

[ashen shore]

It’s Permadeath with a splash of Groundhog Day

[weak parcel]

there's 6 weeks left, only time or a patch will tell what the issue ultimately is

[runic flower]

why is it 8GB

[ashen shore]

Content

[shut pasture]

Lol it was 14.5G pn ps4

[drifting niche]

How does one get liquid sun. I have the solar ray

[ashen shore]

The expedition also dropped with some bug fixes and such

[ashen shore]

Use it on resource deposits

[marsh geyser]

i usually go for copper deposits

[ashen shore]

Same way you would the terrain manipulator

[marsh geyser]

ye

[gilded tiger]

Guys any twitch drops for the new update?

[ashen shore]

I don’t see any campaigns on twitch for it

So if there are, they aren’t active yet

[unkempt heath]

I am glad I checked here about the completion problem. I enjoyed this expedition. 🙂

[gilded tiger]

Thanks 👍

[ashen shore]

Highkey you guys should pin this information because there’s going to be a lot of people asking about it

[weak parcel]

not that anyone ever bothers to read pins... but still a good idea

[ashen shore]

It’s moreso people can respond with “Look at the pins”

Instead of explaining it all over again every time

[weak parcel]

yeah, I was just trying to lighten the mood

[wraith venture]

EDIT: <t:1653530280:f> Having to re-evaluate the way I explain this. Will edit and repost later what the clarification is.
not really permadeath. it's a "roguelike" experience of survival. altho you get 2 saves (unlike permadeath), if you die, your progress is still reset. both saves are reset. you must do milestones again.

[radiant venture]

the amount of launch fuel ive used is ridiculous

[ashen shore]

I would’ve been so salty if I found out about the dying milestone later into my run

[ashen shore]

I was blessed with a thruster refueler tech early into my run

Saved me so much fuel

[weak parcel]

I got the recharger from one of the memory fragments

[shut pasture]

I feel like this is the loosest use of the term "roguelike" I've ever seen

[runic flower]

idk what roguelike even means

[radiant venture]

me too but that aint nearly enough

[weak parcel]

technically roguelite, not roguelike, there's a difference

[ashen shore]

One of the first things I did when I hit 1mil units was buy enough materials to craft stacks of warp drives and thruster fuel

[shut pasture]

So I feel like this is the loosest use of the term "roguelike" I've ever seen

[weak parcel]

technically roguelite, not roguelike, there's a difference

[drifting niche]

I'm trapped in a hole with zero health, zero ways to recharge my head resistance.... I am going to die

[runic flower]

i get it, you're doing a loop thing

[warped abyss]

Do any of the planets in the starting system not have cranky predator animals?

They're ruining my fun rn

[ashen shore]

Fair warning, 97% of the planets I encountered in this expedition were out to kill me

Really spiced things up

[drifting niche]

I desperately NEED HELP

[shut pasture]

The release notes used the word roguelike

[weak parcel]

https://gamerant.com/returnal-hades-roguelite-roguelike-games/

[drifting niche]

My HP is one!

[radiant venture]

the receptors in my brain have grown numb to the sound "threat detected"

[shut pasture]

This is the worst "akshually" in the history of this chat

[misty sapphire]

So you start from phase 1 part 1 if you die right?

[weak parcel]

yeah, it's murky, but I still don't think it's a rogue-like, more lite since some stuff carries over

[shut pasture]

I'll bet I literally played Rogue before you were born, but thanks for the refresher

[weak parcel]

I doubt that, but thanks for assuming my age

[uneven sandal]

Reading people argue about the usage of rouguelike and roguelite is a Groundhog day style, infinite loop hell of its own. 🤣

[wary pasture]

I was thinking the same.

[shut pasture]

@weak parcel no prob, I don't have a lot of info to go on but it fits from what I do have

[summer oyster]

I have that issue where you can't submit completion of the expedition as well, has this happened with the previous expeditions?

[weak parcel]

yeah, sorry, off-topic anyway

[shut pasture]

I'm not even arguing the difference, just that the update notes said it's roguelike and it's a very loose fit

[weak parcel]

I was trying to agree, sorry, let's let it go?

[shut pasture]

Roguelite doesn't really matter? Because they didn't call it that?

[radiant venture]

fighting the urge to throw a did i ask in here somewhere

[ashen shore]

So much arguing over semantics

So unneeded

How’s everyone’s expedition runs going?

[shut pasture]

But not very well

[halcyon silo]

So, I haven't played yet, but let me get this straight. In expedition 7, you gotta do all the stuff in one life without dying? And if you die your milestones reset?

[ashen shore]

You have to do all the stuff and die Atleast once

But other than that, yes

[halcyon silo]

So spawn, die, then do everything else in one life? Seems simple enough

[ashen shore]

Yes

That’s what I did

The planets can be fairly unforgiving, but as long as you’re careful it’s easy enough

[halcyon silo]

Are the objectives difficult? Is there anything insane like kill 50 sentinels?

[ashen shore]

There’s kill 20 sentinels

[summer oyster]

Well I just got mine done and I have encountered the same issue you had.

[ashen shore]

The hardest milestones are probably collecting 10 of the whispering egg balls, and collecting 5 storm crystals

The rest are fairly trivial

[halcyon silo]

And it's in a permadeath style galaxy so there's way more bad weather planets right?

[ashen shore]

yes

The planets are not user friendly

[summer oyster]

Not exactly bad weather, all planets automatically have high sentinel activity.

[halcyon silo]

Fantastic

Do we get the terrain manipulator?

[ashen shore]

It needs repairing

But yes

[halcyon silo]

Dwarf time

[ashen shore]

Good luck getting literally any other technology though

[halcyon silo]

Does anything carry over between lives?

[runic flower]

is the expedition gonna be rough with the death thing in place

[halcyon silo]

It sounds rough

[ashen shore]

It’s challenging but not too horrible

It makes you play more carefully

[slate mountain]

Not as rough as permadeath honestly, the start is a bit easier

[ashen shore]

Fall damage will kill you faster than most other things tbh

Jet packs are dangerous

[summer oyster]

Your save doesn't get erased.

[shut pasture]

@runic flower it could be rough for a new player. If you know the game mechanics it's pretty easy not to die unless you're taking risks

[halcyon silo]

But other than that it's a full restart?

[shut pasture]

Just stay on your toes

[ashen shore]

The only things in this expedition that came close to killing me were the whispering egg monsters, not keeping a close eye on hazard protection, and fall damage

Usually a combination of the 3

[modern canyon]

so far my only death was intentional

gotta say though the timeloop, coupled with other aspects of nomans, is definitely giving me some interesting RP angles I'm inclined to pursue... may have to do some writing this weekend.

[radiant venture]

been waiting for this stupid swarm to subside for like 15 minutes now and recharging is just not happening fast enough

34%

im falling asleep

bro this aint 4% per minute

lies

[weak parcel]

mine some dihydrogen and craft fuel

[radiant venture]

i cant get out

theres a whole ass swarm outside

that doesnt subside

[drifting niche]

.......

[weak parcel]

reload, it will reset the swarm. unless you mean storm, which that will not help

[radiant venture]

no i mean swarm

reloading will lose me the egg

its been 15 minutes now

48%

FINALLY

[summer oyster]

You ran completely out of resources or something? Not sure why you didn't recharge the hazard protection

[drifting niche]

I just spawned in

[summer oyster]

Oh my, I didn't notice that you were on the starter planet. That really sucks.

[radiant venture]

bro fuck the milestone screen nearly killed me

i tried to get in my ship but i got the stupid screen instead

i would have MALDED

[summer oyster]

How did the screen get in your way?

[radiant venture]

I held E but it didnt do anything after i completed the prompt

[runic panther]

better restart

[radiant venture]

nah i lived

you think id die so easily hehe

[runic panther]

so i reizzed in died and now havt to regrind all the ship parts

[drifting niche]

I just got 5 inventory cargo slots les go for take 5!!!

[runic panther]

due to a bug

lol

[summer oyster]

What is the bug?

[ashen shore]

I’m fairly sure that the swarm won’t subside if you’re in your ship

In my experience Atleast

[runic panther]

i rezzed in the the map and fell to my death

[dire palm]

I have to go on a derelict freighter finally and I'm kinda scared lol

[radiant venture]

i already did a large part in stage 1

[runic panther]

i rezzed in below the ground essentially

[ashen shore]

Is it the milestone one or just a random one from the beacon

[summer oyster]

Oof how horrific

[dire palm]

Milestone

[ashen shore]

It wasn’t too bad

I cleared it with a bolt caster

[dire palm]

Wouldn't it still be based on the system??

Or is it prefab?

[ashen shore]

It has expedition specific log entry’s

I’d assume it’s prefab

[dire palm]

Gotchu

[ashen shore]

I could be wrong though

[dire palm]

Awesome thanks

Hey now

Don't give me assurance then take it away 😫 🤣

[ashen shore]

But the one I did was ||Only security systems, as long as you avoid the turrets then the little security drones were a cakewalk||

It felt horrible doing a freighter without a scatter blaster or plasma launcher though

[dire palm]

Plasma in freighter!???

[ashen shore]

Yes

[dire palm]

You're mad

[summer oyster]

Same I was scared too, I was able to get through it as long as I kept recharging my life support and hazard protection and just kept moving.

[ashen shore]

That’s how I deal with the monstrosities freighters in regular play through

bruh I just ran through the freighter

All the unstable plasma I can funnel through a door

[drifting niche]

[ashen shore]

I walk in, pop all the nests with my bolt caster, then stand outside the doorway spamming grenades

They can’t hurt you if they’re blown to bits

[runic panther]

so if i die in early game i have to redo everything again?

[ashen shore]

Gotta redo all the milestones

Gotta play more tactically

[ashen shore]

WAIT REALLY?

That’s what I’ve been told

I didn’t find out myself

I only died once from a predator before I could do any milestones lol

[drifting niche]

My starter ship has true white sheilds

[runic panther]

i just did a test death you loose every milestone

[ashen shore]

Was everyone’s starter ship a solar ship?

was gonna turn off mp but angry creature said otherwise

Or was that just me getting good luck

yea I think so

[summer oyster]

I died when I had reached phase 3. Was from harvesting larval cores and the monstrosities got me. Have to be careful.

[runic panther]

yep if you die hg erases all the achiements

[ashen shore]

when I spawned there was a giant circle of solar ships lol

[ashen shore]

Sounds about right

Those larval cores were brutal

[drifting niche]

I'm going to sell my starter and use the golden vector because I'm a professional dumb A

[ashen shore]

I just rushed through the whole thing

I literally did them one at a time, it’s easily what took me the longest part of my expedition run

[runic panther]

hg said you get something when you die lol all you get is pain

[ashen shore]

Grab an egg, wait for swarm to go away, rinse and repeat

only time I was close to dying was in rendevouz 3 or 4 idr, exteme heat planet with aggro sentinels and mountains

There was one planet where my hazard protection was getting melted like butter while I was running from sentinels

Almost died once or twice from panicking

[runic panther]

i am on a planet with sever weather lol

[ashen shore]

Fall damage is no joke

[runic panther]

died 4 times already

[ashen shore]

Get the storm crystals while you can

It’ll save you time later

[runic panther]

nah about to call this exp getting annoyed with it

[ashen shore]

I was literally stranded lol, no launch fuel, sentinels everywhere

I mean you have 6 weeks to do it

[lime lichen]

Did things get cheaper, nanite wise?

[ashen shore]

It’s day 1

The expedition also gets easier for everyone as the community beats the milestones

The people doing it right now are having the most challenge anyone will

[ashen shore]

cheaper? my nanite prices were hyper inflated like I spent 4,5k just to get a hyperdrive upgrade

I don’t think I actually spent nanites on anything

[runic panther]

checked same price just redo everything

in death you do loose the updaes

[summer oyster]

Is that because the more progress made in those community missions the less you lose upon death?

[ashen shore]

No, the memory fragments improve in quality as the community meets more milestones

Right now they’re all C class

is that what that does?

They’ll get upgraded to B, A, and eventually S

I'm gonna name my space whale bob

I can't even claim the whale cuz it's bugged

Yuppers

[lime lichen]

So i hear, in the first iteration. However, ive heard they get cheaper each iteration. Thats what im asking

[ashen shore]

oh ok

Hopefully we’ll find out in the next few days if it’s actually a bug to be patched, or if it’s time locked for the community milestones on purpose

I still spent 3k nanites to get eco scanner just to do the smuggle run milestone lol, it was my last one

One of the systems on my way to anchor 1 or 2 was an outlaw system

[radiant venture]

fam is there a tornado coming for me lmaooooo

[ashen shore]

It’s how I got all my units

[radiant venture]

just got my storm crystals and saw "extreme wind event" oh boy

[ashen shore]

I didn't come across a single pirate system on the way

[ashen shore]

Deadass a tornado event almost killed me near the end of my expedition

From fall damage

I got kidnapped my a tornado

By

[ashen shore]

and even after I warped like 20 times trying to find one but my luck is garbage

I took out my terrain manipulator and dug through a mountain to the next storm crystal

To avoid dying to fall damage

this exped is hardcore

[wraith parrot]

Gd, this expedition is rough. I've only done the last three and this one is just hostile af

[ashen shore]

It’s a change of pace for sure

[wraith parrot]

Even disregarding the perma death

[ashen shore]

I still spreedran it just like the other ones tho

[summer oyster]

How were the last expeditions, were they easier?

[ashen shore]

Imagine the next expedition is in creative mode to give us a break

The last expedition was pirate based, it was more of a treasure hunt than anything else

MUCH easier because they weren't in survival/perma

Definitely wasn’t on the same scale this one was

[summer oyster]

That's what I figured, this is my first expedition 😂

[ashen shore]

The last expedition was focused on upgrading a freighter and reaching the galactic core while doing stuff along the way

[fair bloom]

Did not see an expedition coming so soon

[ashen shore]

This one is just “Into the frying pan you go”

Though I somehow managed to finish this expedition faster than the last one

[fair bloom]

So I noticed there's a progress (community?) bar in Loop research. Does it mean majority has to clear it?

[ashen shore]

I guess the fear of death puts a fire under your ass

Idk everybody else says that

I don't know shit

Lol

My understanding is, the more people progress through the expedition and the loop, the bar fills up

Once it fills up enough, we unlock a community milestone

[fair bloom]

Hmm interesting

[drifting niche]

A sentinel didn't like me getting carbon

[ashen shore]

And memory fragments drop higher quality gear

So the more the community does, the easier it is for everyone to do

[fair bloom]

Is that how the optional milestone is cleared?

[ashen shore]

I think so

The people doing this day 1 are going to have trashy C-class gear

While people in week 5-6 will have S class gear

I got B class upgrades from some stuff tho

Still hot garbage

Probably because it’s stuff you could buy with nanites from the anomaly

Not randomized upgrades you’d see in tech shops

[fair bloom]

I usually start fast and end up slacking smh

[ashen shore]

Nah like random modules

All the random modules I got were C class from memory fragments

But u also get upgrades from anomaly too I think

im scared,, is the expedition hardd

i never play surivval

The expedition is a little spicy

Not quite a walk in the park

oh noooo

[fair bloom]

And why are all the anomaly upgrades so expensive? S class module is 5k nanites

[ashen shore]

Because difficult

[summer oyster]

Might be because permadeath/survival costs

[ashen shore]

im scareddd

I sat up all night doing this hit for nothing lol

do u have tips for survivall

[fair bloom]

This is super fresh ngl. I only played since exobiology

[ashen shore]

Don’t get me wrong, the expedition didn’t make me want to toss my controller against the wall or anything

But I definitely had to play a bit slower and more careful

[fair bloom]

You no one knows how the leviathan Freighter looks

[ashen shore]

oh i think i can do that

not this exped but the sentinels made me want to do that

[wraith venture]

not for nothing. eventually you'll get the reward.

[radiant venture]

honestly im liking the challenge

[ashen shore]

eventually

[fair bloom]

Sheesh

[ashen shore]

Lmao

[radiant venture]

kinda forces me to play permadeath

[ashen shore]

eventually yea

u have tips for the expedition >u<

Going back to my main character on normal after this will feel so easy and boring

[radiant venture]

you lose everything except the phases youre done with

[ashen shore]

I'm gonna go back and slaughter sentinels on my normal later lol

[summer oyster]

Obviously do whatever you can to not die, be aware of what your getting into. Upgrades are rewarded from each milestone completed.

[ashen shore]

ooooo

they have the stack limit rite

revenge for pestering me on that mountainous extreme hot planet

[radiant venture]

have you seen my 2318 sentinels

destroy those

[ashen shore]

what?

[drifting niche]

I'm stuck in a star jump. It's been a minute and I'm still in the jump

[jaunty pulsar]

Ah yes, the Sentinel glitch.

[radiant venture]

#nms-questions message
i nearly crashed @ashen shore

[ashen shore]

like the bug with settlement?

im not the survival kind of person im more of a i build bases in bubble planet kind of person

[radiant venture]

yeah

i murdered them all

[ashen shore]

lmao

[drifting niche]

I have to restart the game! Good thing I saved recently

[ashen shore]

but i want cool living frigateee

[radiant venture]

um what

[runic panther]

you loose everything

[ashen shore]

I hate them with a passion after this exped lol

[runic panther]

save wont help

[fair dirge]

anyone have an idea how to do the optional missions?

[radiant venture]

yeah i hate to break it to you but @drifting niche

[drifting niche]

I was stuck in a jump loop! I just quit the game and reloading

[fair dirge]

is it like community research or do I just have to hand in the materials to polo a million times?

[ashen shore]

wait

if u reload the game u lose the progress???

[ashen shore]

everybody thinks it's a community research kinda thing

[fair bloom]

Save still works until you die

[ashen shore]

that's why it's so low

[fair dirge]

makes sense

[ashen shore]

ohhh

i thought i have to do it in one sitting

i scared

[drifting niche]

If I lose progress because I reloaded because of stupid jump glitch I will break something

[ashen shore]

if u pet ur dog then reload you lost the progress of petting your dog

ohhhh

[fair bloom]

This is new for me too. But I tried to keep note of my saves

[ashen shore]

okii

[drifting niche]

Every time I'm next do my ship I get it, get out to save then get in to fly off

[unkempt basin]

if u accidently die anytime thorughout the expediton you have to restart correct? even if you're on the fifth part?

[ashen shore]

i like challenge!! but im scared!! i will try my best

if u turn off mp you can pause and reload if ur in a really, really bad situation

[drifting niche]

No progress lost from reload

[fair bloom]

Basically how i save

[ashen shore]

whew >u<

[fair bloom]

Wait no you'll have all your tools

[radiant venture]

getting very close now, just loop 5 and 3 from loop 4 to go

im going to sleep its 5 am

[unkempt basin]

what about progress?

[drifting niche]

I just want to jump to a more suitable System!

[summer oyster]

@ashen shore If you want you could wait this out until the community research improves to get better upgrades.

[fair bloom]

Iirc after my first death i remember losing the "Be near your ship" achievement

So I'm not sure

[drifting niche]

Jumping again

[ashen shore]

i think i will,, i have exams and is more important!!! but this expedition concept is so cool

[drifting niche]

Hopefully it won't jump loop me again

[ashen shore]

Some tips for the expedition, coming from a guy that finished it in 4 hours on day 1 because I have no life wanted to give it my best go!:

Fall damage will kill you faster than most things, especially because the whispering egg monsters have a tendency to launch you into the air. Dont use up all your jetpack fuel prematurely or you will regret it.

The planets in this expedition are not your friend. As soon as you can get a healthy stash of units (Like a few hundred thousand), buy resources in space stations rather than trying to farm them on planet surfaces, it'll help you not die and it'll speed up progress for you.

One of the hardest milestones is collecting 10 larval cores from whispering eggs. I recommend picking an infested planet where sentinels aren't immediately hostile, and taking your time doing it, otherwise you're going to get sandwiched between a lot of things that want to kill you.

Save the sentinel milestones for last, by then you'll hopefully have gotten some better weapons than a boltcaster from memory fragments. The way I did it was getting a cartographer map to a secure site, and hiding inside to regenerate health while fighting sentinels outside. They aren't very good at fighting indoors like that

One of the earlier milestones you'll run into is that you have to die atleast once. I recommend doing this at the very beginning, otherwise you'll be kicking yourself having to redo progress and milestones because you waited

Nanite prices for things are significantly higher in the expedition. If you don't 100% NEED to buy something, then don't. Otherwise you may find yourself short on nanites when you need them.

Overall, keep in mind that you have 6 weeks to complete the expedition, and as the community completes more milestones, you'll get better modules from memory fragments. If its too frustrating for now, take a break and come back to it later when its a bit easier! Hopefully this helps you guys out some.

[fair bloom]

Anyone know the answer to this? I'm curious too

[ashen shore]

in the end ||when u die you will restart in the same system, the 5th rendevouz||

spoiler alert

[fair bloom]

What if it's in the middle

[rough trellis]

did they raise the prices for construction items and prices for upgrades?

like it requires a lot of salvaged data and nanites

[fair bloom]

Yes

[ashen shore]

The nanite prices are signifcantly higher in the expedition

[ashen shore]

hyperinflation

[rough trellis]

ohh ok

but in the normal game mode is it the same original price?

[ashen shore]

anyone else stuck on the last milestone?

[ashen shore]

thank u for the tipss :D

I use the flute in space, it tells me to approach but there's nothing to approach

[summer oyster]

You restart

[ashen shore]

Try using your pulse drive to go a bit further out into space, and use the item again

I did

And you don't see anything around you?

nothing

i want try tomorrow

Worst case scenario

if its too hard,, i will wait until i finish exam

[quartz salmon]

Anywhere to get predators on checkpoint 2?

[ashen shore]

Honestly, might just be a bug, NMS can be like that

Whens your most recent save?

i am person who does expeditions in one sitting xD

[ashen shore]

There are a lot of predators on the first starting planet

[ashen shore]

Me too

[quartz salmon]

Yes but I didn't think that far ahead and now I'm on checkpoint 2

[ashen shore]

mostly so i can help

Your options are search the system around you, or use the teleporter in space station to go back there

other newbies >u<

[ashen shore]

Bruh that was the only thing I died to lmao

[quartz salmon]

...i forgot teleporters exist. smh

[ashen shore]

before using the flute, I already reloaded

omg wait

the expedition turn into a survival save??

[ashen shore]

Tbh id report it as a bug then at https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

See if they can look into it

[ashen shore]

Perma maybe?

i can do steam achievement with the save :O

after all that work its gonna bug on the last milestone

smh

the,, go to the galaxy core in survival

Wouldnt be a NMS update without some bugs

Adds flavor

dis game do be buggy like dat yaya

Exactly

[summer oyster]

Hopefully more fixes are coming soon

[ashen shore]

If u go to core in perma you get achievment for both perma and survival

Question. What do leviathans do? Are they just there or do they have a purpose

[ashen shore]

wait fr!!!! ok then expedition is good practice for perma :O

[ashen shore]

It's a frigate I think, and you can see them flying over like other frigates sometimes in rendevouz systems

Wait so can we buy more living frigates?

As far as im aware, its more of a cosmetic detail than anything else

I havent seen much information about them yet

And obvi no ones been able to claim one yet

oh no

Permadeath/Survival players must love this expedition

ok i will wait

before playing then

i really want the living frigate >u<

[ashen shore]

It's actually pretty fun I think

[ashen shore]

SAMMMEEE

[ashen shore]

SAME

It was very fun

i have 2 living ship and i love them

Excluding sentinels on extreme planets

Yes those are rage inducing

[ashen shore]

Same

[summer oyster]

I do like the challenge but I also didn't like how you have to start over.

[ashen shore]

Extreme planets and extreme sentinels

The really frustrating part was when one of my anchor planets had zealous sentinels

okii i will play tomorrow,, is study time,,, see you guys have fun!!! (ouo)/

They wouldnt get off my ass while I was trying to look for the objective

I like how one mission is just.
Step one: DIE
The end.

[ashen shore]

Good luck lol

Can you imagine if they made that one of the hidden milestones at the end

[weak parcel]

die early, don't waste time like I did before checking the milestones

[ashen shore]

Game: THIS IS A PERMADEATH EXPEDITION

Also game: objective: die

"Surprise surprise, you made it this far, now you have to die and restart the loop to finish"

[summer oyster]

I luckily didn't have one spawn on me while I was getting the objective but one did after i got it complete and I zipped out of that planet lol.

[ashen shore]

Oooof that would be annoying af

That first anchor point when ||The monsters spawn all around you|| almost got me killed

[ashen shore]

I just jumped onto a rock or something lol

[ashen shore]

Same

I was just chilling like lemme open up my inventory and do some sorting before I leave this planet

Surprise surprise

This exped is really something

It was unexpected

[summer oyster]

Didn't think it was that difficult yeah.

[wraith venture]

pinned. thx for the feedback

[ashen shore]

Have you played through the exp redhot?

[jaunty pulsar]

No oxygen or anything to recharge life support at all on the starting world? Interesting choice. 😄

[ashen shore]

Unless im mistaken, theres oxygen plants on every planet

Though one of the early milestones does give you life support gel

[desert bison]

yeah this is not fun

[jaunty pulsar]

I found quite a few things, but no oxygen. Heh.

[ashen shore]

Every planet has sodium, oxygen, and dihydrogen

[quartz salmon]

how much do I have to explore an abandoned freighter to count as a milestone

[dense basin]

I just happened to be in my minotaur and jumped away but I was shields down, 1 health

[ashen shore]

For the milestone freighter, get the 3 terminals

Thats it

[quartz salmon]

oof hopefully I can do it with a boltcaster lmao

[ashen shore]

If the freighter is procgen, then its not too hard

If its system-based, good luck

I went through it with a boltcaster easily enough

[quartz salmon]

How do I know which is which

[ashen shore]

If you go inside and its all security systems, then it means everyone has the same freighter

[dense basin]

Mine had no security systems

[ashen shore]

Well thats not good

Maybe I just had a really lucky roll on freighters

[wind tinsel]

god damn it

died to a bloody game bug

i was sitting in my ship then poof

i died

4 hours

gone

destroyed

[ashen shore]

RIP

[wind tinsel]

vanished

like my dad

[dense basin]

[ashen shore]

The leviathan gotcha

[summer oyster]

I did my derelict freighter in the rendezvous 5 system if that makes sense and it was security system based.

[ashen shore]

Same

I havent heard anyone mention a freighter with monstrosities inside

I had monstrosities and security in mine but I just ran past them

[dense basin]

Mine had monstrosities on the 3rd floor

I've also never had a 3rd floor before

[ashen shore]

So the freighters are system based

Thats gross

Why?

Lol

Going through a monster freighter is a lot more annoying than a security system freighter

Yup

Luckily its an expedition so I didnt care about loot

Just nyoooom take me to the terminals

And class and layout is always the same in one system

[quartz salmon]

Oh good I have a monster freighter

In checkpoint 2 system

[ashen shore]

I just figured that since this freighter has expedition-specific lore, they'd make it procgen

Clearly not

Idk they prolly just went with whatever was already in the system

True

I noticed all rendevouz planets are infested exotic worlds tho

Yes

It made the whispering eggs milestone a lot easier tbf

Lmao I did it at a building on a glitch planet early lol

I didn't even think of that

Funny story

I didnt see a single building on my entire expedition

Other than a manufacturing plant near the end that I used a map for

I just used 3 charts to get a freighter crash site

It took me 2

And got a building too

I got a starship distress and then a freighter

But other than maps, I didnt see ANYTHING

I saw a sandworm once

[supple walrus]

I did the Base building milestone and got the Exo-Mech and Exomech scanner. Used that to scan for crashed freighters. Easier than going through maps.

[ashen shore]

That works too

I didnt touch a single exocraft, seemed like a waste of time tbh

[warm junco]

Hey guys I'm trying to understand this universal loop thing

[ashen shore]

I just dumped my exocraft upgrades in the minotaur abd never touched it again lol

[warm junco]

Is that the entire community or just me?

[ashen shore]

I sold my exocraft upgrades

Community

[ashen shore]

The loop is the whole community

[ashen shore]

I took all my exocraft upgrades, sold them for nanites, and bought all the exosuit shield modules I could find

Survability is key

[warm junco]

So the optional steps I just have to contribute towards but wait basically

I see I see

[ashen shore]

I only had like a b or c class health upgrade lol

[supple walrus]

I've just been extra cautious.

[ashen shore]

Yup same here

Im just glad im done with it now

I dont have to touch that save file until I can claim my expedition reward

[supple walrus]

I feel like everyone is so used to having S class everything, they freak out when they're forced to survive on c/b class tech. lmao.

[ashen shore]

I moreso panicked when I went to the anomaly for a scatter blaster and it was like "lol nah, you cant buy that, you gotta get lucky punk"

Kinda shot my killing sentinels plan in the foot

[dense basin]

Yeahhhh, feelsbadman

[ashen shore]

Anyone knows a planet with storm crystals near rendezvous 4

[supple walrus]

I just used the bolt caster. they aren't that difficult.
just target the repair/summoner sentinels first.

[ashen shore]

Not off the top of my head, but look for any planet with an activated resource

They're pretty common in this expedition

[summer oyster]

The infested planet at rendezvous 4 if it has activated copper and aggressive sentinels has storm crystals

[ashen shore]

Not really, I refuse to restart on a new save since I love my 800h main save but exped is no prob. It's like just putting my nms skills to the test

Just play more cautious with less modules ig

[cobalt blade]

i completed iteration 1 to 5 (not optinal), but game is telling me -> phases completed 0/5 ???

[ashen shore]

Check pinned messages

[sly spear]

Maybe you haven't collected the phase badge at the bottom

I could be wrong tho

[ashen shore]

No it’s a known thing

That’s why it’s posted in pinned

[sly spear]

Oh

[ashen shore]

I can't claim either

[sly spear]

Cool

[ashen shore]

Nobody can I think

[cobalt blade]

ty

[ashen shore]

No one on any of the platforms at this point

[drifting niche]

How do I get ancestral memories?...

[sly spear]

Feed animals

[ashen shore]

Feed animals pellets

[ashen shore]

Milk creatures

You collect them the same way you would eggs and such

Milk their memories

[sly spear]

Brain juice

[ashen shore]

Yknow it occurs to me

If someone got their hands on an auto feeder and harvester

I wonder if they could farm memories

[quartz salmon]

I didn't get the freighter milestone

Smh

[drifting niche]

Who am I supposed to know that?.... so I literally just harvest fauna?

[summer oyster]

Probably can yeah.

[supple walrus]

that's a good way to look at it. I've also got about 800-900 hours in the game and a save that's currently 300 hours. This expedition has been a lot more fun for me since my main save has so much stuff and S-class everything that it feels like Creative mode with extra steps. I've enjoyed the challenge in this expedition.
