nms-expedition

[inner oasis]

Literally just tp to outlaw, hyperdrive noraml system, straight to space station

[meager stream]

Idk smuggling is too easy bcoz after warp u are 5 sec away from the station

[inner oasis]

Exactly

Wait can you have the goods in exosuit and just go byportals?

like: outaw > home base > station

[pale light]

farmed ~30min so i can finally buy a storage unit ❤️ lets gooo

my base will become the most popular in this expeditions cause it has a storage unit lol

[inner oasis]

Uhu? You can just nomad teh whole thing?

[pale light]

wut?

[inner oasis]

And your freighter has a bunch of storage?

[meager stream]

U sure can

[pale light]

my freighter... i have none yet 😦

[inner oasis]

In the expedition you do?

[pale light]

no

[inner oasis]

Uhu???

[pale light]

you have one by default?

[meager stream]

Yes

[inner oasis]

Yes

[pale light]

LOOOL

[meager stream]

Check ur tab

[pale light]

FUUUCK rofl

[inner oasis]

are you sure you playing expedition?

XD

You should have a solar ship thingy too

[pale light]

I DIDNT KNOW YOU START WITH ONE FUUU

a what?

[inner oasis]

OMEGALUL

ship with solar sails

recharges the lau8nch thrusters and all that

the new type

[pale light]

thats the ship you get on the planet you start out right?

[inner oasis]

yes

[meager stream]

Y

[pale light]

and its supposed to charge something? cause it feels like it aint charging shit

[inner oasis]

it charges slow

1 yt video is about 1 takeoff

[pale light]

yeah so slow i didnt realize it charges at all after ~10h

but then again i found out you have a frighter after 10h LOL

[inner oasis]

XD

I hoper you have died once in the expedition already?

right?

[pale light]

so, whats the main use of the freighter in the expedition?

[inner oasis]

caus if you havent I have bad news for you\

[pale light]

well you have to or you cant take off lol

you get the blueprint for a part you need to fix your ship from your first death

also how do i use nanit to unlock storage unit?

[inner oasis]

You dont?

[pale light]

oh yeah. that. what you mean by that

[inner oasis]

Storage units are unllocked with salvaged tech modules?

[meager stream]

I used it to swap twitch drops ships for scrapping

[pale light]

well i mean i have a big storage container in my base now

[meager stream]

Only that xd

[pale light]

so me missing it isnt a biggie cause its not that useful in expedition?

[inner oasis]

You can carry eveythijng you will ever need in the expedition in yoru inventory only

How the hell do you get your twitch drops?

[pale light]

mine is always full. i need thi sstorage unit lol

[inner oasis]

I have like 5 unclaimed ones

[meager stream]

Yep

[pale light]

i didnt know theres twitch drops for no mans sky

[meager stream]

There were for outlaws and frontiers

[pale light]

so theres none right now?

[meager stream]

Yep

[meager stream]

Qs shop

[pale light]

well i joined the game about a week ago so yeah rip lol

[smoky meadow]

is there any outlaw system close to anchor point 5

[meager stream]

Idk, iirc the first ever system on ur way to anchor 1 is outlaw

[smoky meadow]

oh thanks

[meager warren]

do we know yet if you can land on the Leviathan frigate like you can with your other frigates?

[meager stream]

Bht since outlawstations only have 4 slots, it washardto land in multiplayer

[meager stream]

We dont know

[meager warren]

word

I hope so, but I will understand if we can't

[inner oasis]

Are thos like the expedition drops?

Once per save profile?

[meager stream]

Yes

[inner oasis]

👍

[pale light]

https://i.imgur.com/mIRV5AK.jpeg does this thing ever despawn?

its been here for ages lol

[meager stream]

Is it broken walker? It should despawn, but id not bet on it in expedition multiplayer

[pale light]

idk its name, its the sentinel thing that spawns on 5* wanted level

i killed it, i looted it, its still here an hour later

https://i.imgur.com/dcr06Fx.jpeg thats some dangerous shit right there

[quick oxide]

how does one get somnal dust?

[pale light]

you install the somnal thingy and use it on whatever ore you find

like copper for example

ive been looking for an agro animal for 1 hour now zzz

[quick oxide]

isnt that for liquid sun?

it says somnal is from those freighters

[jagged charm]

oh goddamit stupid pirates

[pale light]

oh yeah my bad. uh... no idea anymore tbh lol

[jagged charm]

the killed me when i was undeground

the fck can i do about that

so i ffing lost all my progress and my ship

oh goddamit

[teal matrix]

that's rough. i'm not a huge fan of the pirate encounters myself for that very reason. i've been killed 'on my way to' my ship a few times as well.

[alpine topaz]

If I find a freighter site..

And I go away, is it possible for someone else to explore it?

Like I'll use a save beacon to return later

[smoky meadow]

i teleported to my base and i went directly through the ground, was panicking alt + f4 a good idea?

[pale light]

you'll see once you boot up the game gaain

[smoky meadow]

i didnt die so i guess im fine 🤔

[pale light]

hm good

[smoky meadow]

also i would be some mad if i die now when im missing 1 single objective to finish the expedition

[pale light]

wtf how far you are

im still stuck on the 2nd "set" because i cant find an agressive animal to tame

[smoky meadow]

ah that happened to me too

you dont have to do it immediately though the first planet you spawn in has aggressive animals

[pale light]

yeah but i dont wanna travel back. but tbh youre right i should move on to set 3

[smoky meadow]

i did when i was already on the 5th part because i though i would find an aggressive animal at some point (i didnt and had to go back to start planet)

[smoky meadow]

yeees i am good

[pale light]

nice 😄

[jagged charm]

I was like 70% done

[pale light]

you may be able to help me. 3rd set finding the spot i have to go to requires me to travel through 12 systems. can i speed this up somehow? cause damn i dont have that much fuel lol

[smoky meadow]

you could try get hyperdrive upgrade

i just did the jumps

[meager stream]

Buy warp upgrade for shitton of nanites

U can get nanites by discovering all fauna on planets

[smoky meadow]

you can also sell useless upgrades

[meager stream]

Ye, the ones u get from milextones

And dont use

[smoky meadow]

god im too scared to leave the anomaly

[pale light]

i hope reputation cant go into the negative cause i just raided a vykeen freighter and stole about 5million worth of loot LOL

[jagged charm]

Man now im stuck with that c class junk ship again

[pale light]

i still have that ship :/ the start ship

[smoky meadow]

can someone get me 40 ancestral memories delivered to the anomaly? i sell all my inventory for it

[pale light]

if you give me 10min i think i can lol

[smoky meadow]

okay i can wait

[jagged charm]

I had a nice s class shuttle znd all

[summer nexus]

Anyone know yet: if I die (accidentally) after completing all the first iteration goals, do I start on the very first planet again or by anchor point 1? Or the planet/system I died on?

[peak fractal]

You start at the first planet again

[radiant venture]

Completed the expedition lets go

my first expedition

only the forced death

[lyric roost]

First planet, all goals wiped

[smoky meadow]

help i completed all the iterations but it says phases completed 0/5 and i cant claim the final reward

[reef steppe]

is exploring the loop for the optional milestones dieing a few times until it is complete

[peak fractal]

that's a bug!

[reef steppe]

I thought you retained the goals...

[lyric roost]

You do not

And it's pretty shitty imo

[ashen shore]

How long does it generally take for bugs to be patched after a new expedition launches?

[urban kite]

so i built a base computer on the planet that it told me to go to, and im not getting credit for the establish a foothold on an infested planet milestone :/

[silver current]

needs more than a BC, extend the base

I need to explore a freighter a crashed one I think, can't find one

5h and not even second step completed

[radiant venture]

I mean you finally get a challenge, normal nms is a walk in the park

its not for the inexperienced but i think its fun

forces you to do something that is scary and difficult

[urban kite]

what else do i have to build besides a base computer :/ it just says to build it

[radiant venture]

basically forces you to play permadeath

[reef steppe]

I don't get it though. you are supposed to collaborate with other players?

[radiant venture]

Only the optional goals

[reef steppe]

but otherwise you don't get the better upgrades.

[silver current]

I did 9 floors one door, then walls and roof

[radiant venture]

yup exactly

You gotta do with C class for now

I did the whole thing with C class and its perfectly doable

[silver current]

I am scared about the sentinel stuff, I might die...

[radiant venture]

The scariest one by far is the whispering eggs

[topaz brook]

Use the terrain manipulator

[reef steppe]

doesn't make any sense to me. so you have to have friends that also play nms? or it relies on lots of people doing the expedition?

[radiant venture]

It gets easier the more people do it

[twilit olive]

Hello there
I have finished expedition. How I can claim final reward? Do I need to complete optional tasks?

[radiant venture]

You can't its bugged

[twilit olive]

Uh. So it is already known problem, and I need to wait until it is fixed?

[radiant venture]

yup i think so

[fringe agate]

Aye

[quartz moth]

How can people complete the expedition in 1 day? I been stuck since yesterday, it just tells me to collect to polo, i got the achievement from him, but do i keep collecting to him or can i do something else?

[safe swallow]

When a milestone is complete, you can choose a different one to work on, that other thing is repeatable I think, for community progress?

[radiant venture]

Leviathan role when

[quartz moth]

ooh so a bit like a runescape event. They have that thing in Runescape3, that let you collect personal items, but you can keep going for 100%, the entire community will need to participate for 100% for an extra reward. Is it like that?

Tho in runescape, i think the player base was too small for 100% last time there was an easter event, i dont think they completed it

[unkempt plaza]

so anyone know how to get somnal dust-? cant figure it out for the life of me lol

[topaz brook]

Loot derelicts

It’s not required

[unkempt plaza]

ah i c

[quartz moth]

aaah i figured it out, i can pin the e.g. anchor 2 position, for the missions there

[urban kite]

:/

[unkempt plaza]

ty i thought it was lol

[urban kite]

so i expanded the base to where it was big enough to upload

and im still not getting credit for the anchor 😦

[radiant venture]

Well, be more careful ig

[quartz moth]

been there done that, i got to the point where i just dont do that punch jetpack trick

[radiant venture]

only time i nearly died was because i did that and then landed and bounced with my rocket boots

[quartz moth]

if you get airborne by the aliens, make sure to safe jetpack fuel

last time i got send to space by the aliens, and i barely made it

[unkempt plaza]

also for the biological horror do you just need to destroy the egg's or also kill the horrors?

[radiant venture]

grab the larval core

[unkempt plaza]

ah i c

ty ^^

[quartz moth]

they also need to fix the random prize from analyzing, i realised cause of full bag, i could make sure to get the highest valued item

[meager stream]

just sell them for nanites

[hasty dragon]

Pain

[quartz moth]

im thinking about getting a robot, and just take the platform mats with me, when i go to another planet

[meager stream]

iirc a minotaur is one of milestone rewards

[silk nebula]

Does doing the optinal milestones do anything important?

[meager stream]

meanwhile 24h passed and still no fix for unclaimable reward

[quartz moth]

has it been tweeted yet?

[meager stream]

no hes been silent

so far this expedition is nothing but dissapointment tbh

[quartz moth]

Maybe its intentional for something, or maybe delayed with something on the last reward? just guessing

[meager stream]

if it requires community progress of optional milestones INTENTIONALLY, then its even bigger dissapointment

[quartz moth]

no no, i mean like the void egg, an invicible clock ^^ idk

[meager stream]

so far the very foundation of this expedition (basically survive with no gear or start from scratch) is clearly a miss, and the second poor design decision for one expedition would be too much

[quartz moth]

Was the earlier expeditions more fun? this is my first experience of an expedition

[meager stream]

they were not permadeath, to begin with

some of them were more fun, some were more tedious

but they did not have x10 costs on upgrades, so u were not frustrated on ur gear, and were not frustrated on losing ur progress

[quartz moth]

i hoped for a more storybased linear way of playing, when playing expedition, for a different way of playing, but i guess it was just regular nms

[meager stream]

exp4 had unique gameplay elements and minibosses that u dont have in normal game

[quartz moth]

which is okay, i like nms, but i feel like i only do the expeditions for the rewards

[meager stream]

exp6 was not repetitive

each time u go to a new place u have to do smth different

exp5 encouraged u to stray from rendexvouz-to-rendexvoux path and search around for rare animals

exp3 had a cool idea about exploring a single planet, but had some poor missions that took u literally forever and RNG to complete

exp1 was like "hey just do everything that u can do in this game, and do it for a lot"

[quartz moth]

yeah expeditions just sounds like something that should have been like a quest chain in the regular edition. i thought expedition was more like a campaign, where you would see stuff like they show in the trailers, more planned material and linear stuff, the point of a different way of playing no man sky, would be that

[meager stream]

its hard to invent "different way of playing" in a sandbox game, tbh

they tried it in this expedition and failed miserably

[quartz moth]

well i am a developer, and they use their own engine. with a 32bit system. I dont see how it would be difficult if they coded the entire thing

hahah rip xD

[meager stream]

u can always turn it off the second u spawn in the world

noone would play that shit

even this one is losing players

its gonna teach HG a lesson

(i hope)

[quartz moth]

If they added pvp in that sense, they would need to recreate the entire game, cause from what i can see, the save file is saved to local xD

[meager stream]

ye its not clear how multiplayer is handled with everything being client-side

but there are PvP communities

so i guess it works ok

to some extent

[quartz moth]

i mean you would be able to run into immortal people i suppose

[meager stream]

yep

given how easy is NMS for mods and save editing

there are ppl with modded gear, modded stats, modded ships, modded pets, modded everything

[inner oasis]

I mean thy kind succeeded caus a lot of players crying about its too hard

[meager stream]

im pretty sure frustrating a large part of their playerbase and losing players who actually try this expedition was not their goal xD

[quartz moth]

If they someday choose to make a standalone version, like ARK did, they made 2 different versions. a battle royale hunger games styled game. orignated from minecraft. not the point. But if Hello games did make a standalone version for PvP, where the saved characters was stored to a external server, that would be insane

[inner oasis]

Tbh if you die (not by bugs) its a skill issue not an expedition issue imo

[meager stream]

the worst enemy is fall damage

and its arguable is it a skill or a game issue

[inner oasis]

Adn I would agree 100%

[meager stream]

if u die from falling

especially after jetpacking forward

[inner oasis]

Its a skill issue

you can easily descend moutnains wihtout dying, just dont rush it

and if really a problem just call up your starship to the top...

[meager stream]

mountains are buggy by their nature

[quartz moth]

Yeah, thats also why i git gud, by taking it slow xD If i rush it, i die, no shame in that

[inner oasis]

afraid of falldamage? clear out an area on teh mountains and call yoru starship and fly down

ezz

also you even got a fkn minitaour

sooo

[meager stream]

mountains are not destructible

btw

🙂

and their colliders are not perfect

[inner oasis]

You can still destroy the shit on top iof them?

and land yoru ship

[quartz moth]

I dont feel like the game is buggy, the game is actually insanely good compared to release

[meager stream]

not always

i'll give u my example

my 4th grave was in rather peculiar spot

lemme show

[quartz moth]

im on second death, i just take it slow, and prepare from space stations. Buy the entire stock

[meager stream]

see these 2 plateaus?

[quartz moth]

farm ancient bones from first planet

[inner oasis]

yes

[meager stream]

the grave is on the higher one

as u can see in the second picture, its of a size of a starship, so, pretty small

[inner oasis]

And teh side of the mountain wasnt terrain mainpulator?

[meager stream]

yes it was indestructible

and even if i landed my ship there by some miracle, i couldnt interact with the grave

bcoz i interacted with ship instead

[inner oasis]

well, could you build there

caus I had to build up to one place one time

[meager stream]

also i couldnt resummon my ship anywhere bcoz its too high above

[quartz moth]

if you use controller, arrow down and move ship, then take grave

[inner oasis]

Like I think the problem is people rushing it to much, sure I agree som spots were hella anooyting

[meager stream]

im on mouse so idk what u mean

the thing is

[inner oasis]

but nothing a little biut of planning and caution coudlnt overcome tbh

[meager stream]

landind on a ship was not an option

[quartz moth]

there is an option, where you can move your ship

[meager stream]

so i flew down

[meager stream]

resummon?

couldnt do it bcoz all surfaces were far away

[urban kite]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in phase 2

[quartz moth]

eeh i think so, its the same bar you go to galaxy map from

[meager stream]

this plato is like 50m up

there was no surface to resummon

[pale light]

guys, is it normal its this far away? https://i.imgur.com/2wyUV7Z.png

[urban kite]

I've built 2 bases on different infested planets, uploaded them, and still don't get credit for the milestone

[meager stream]

but its not even my point

the poing is, the only way i could reach there

[quartz moth]

my last anchor was 2450 light years away

[meager stream]

is use the technique of climbing steep walls with infinite jetpack

[inner oasis]

looks like a few hundred light years?

[meager stream]

as long as u stick to the wall. jetpack is infinite

[inner oasis]

ye thats nto bad? descent upgraded hyperdrive is like 3 hops

[quartz moth]

true

[meager stream]

hovewer, the moment u detach from the wall, due to some random bump on it, u start lossing fuel

[inner oasis]

did you build over 15 parts in the bases?

you need to build 15 base parts to make it count

[meager stream]

and i repeat, is was so fkin high up

[pale light]

its around 700

[meager stream]

so i tried the first time

[inner oasis]

ye sounds reansable

[urban kite]

Yeah, I built a 3x3 house....that should be more than 15

[meager stream]

what happened was i gt glitched inside mountaint textures

[pale light]

what the fuck. thats a lot lol. especially with this shitty ship. desperately need a booster to the distance i can travel

[meager stream]

and barely escaped

[quartz moth]

i farmed yesterday and today collecting ancient bones, and i just farmed pirates

[meager stream]

on the second time, some random bump detahced me from the wall, and i lost my jetpack

i survived by sheer miracle

bcoz falling was long

[quartz moth]

they kept coming cause of ancient bones goods, so i ended up with 32m units

[meager stream]

i made it on my 3rd try

[quartz moth]

bought a better ship

[meager stream]

but the point is, if i died on 1st or 2nd try

no fking way u tell me its skill issue

[quartz moth]

i mean yes and no, even people with skills can get unlucky

[meager stream]

the problem is, the game intentionally sends u to rocky areas in this expedition

intentionally in hardest to reach places

[quartz moth]

aaah i feel like i keep being send to nuclear and toxic areas

[inner oasis]

true sounds like you were unlucky, shit happens, but again people are rushing it too much and then blame the game becasue they died when they tried to idk pet 700 hostile mobs at the same time...

[meager stream]

intentionally making use of its own unpolished mechanics

and this is a poor design decision

[inner oasis]

You are right, but again you could have built your way up?

[pale light]

damn. nice

[inner oasis]

thats what I did

[quartz moth]

But it sounds to me, that people dont have that far to the last anchor as i did 😮

[meager stream]

no it was too high, i would need several hours to collect all the carbon and then build

[quartz moth]

was i unlucky?

[inner oasis]

mine was a jump of 400 ly in a single jump

[meager stream]

maybe i could build from the plato itself and resummon the ship on the artificial platform

but the very fact i landed there was a miracle

[pale light]

no idea, im trying to get to the 3rd and its almost 700 LJ. so i assume 5th will also be around 2k for me

[meager stream]

iwouldnt be able to repeat that landing

[quartz moth]

ah okaaay i understand now how some can complete it in 1 day then, i was like 2450 lightyears, how can people get that in 1 day xDD

[meager stream]

with those sloppy ship controls of nms

[inner oasis]

ye hyperdrive upgrades in outlaw stations are your friend

lets you jump easily 700 ly with some good upgrades

[quartz moth]

yeah i just bought a 30m ship and now im looking for a outlaw camp ^^

[inner oasis]

🤷‍♂️ true, my point is 99% of all people dying are rushing and playing it like its easy mode, thats the skill issue part, having really hard challanges that are pretty buggy at times, thats the unlucky part

[meager stream]

as i said, they intentionally send u to places where these bugd and glitches are more likely to occur

i.e. mountains

not sure exocraft is able to climb super steep mountains

[quartz moth]

what function does the frigate have?

[inner oasis]

no one knows caus you cant claim it yet

[quartz moth]

just cosmetic?

ahh

so thats the last reward

[meager stream]

u mean compared to other frigates? probably just cosmetics

[urban kite]

this is what i've built.....can't get credit for the milestone :/

[meager stream]

probably good stats also, like Normandy had, but not mindblowingly insane

[inner oasis]

and you tripple checked its on an infested planet?

[urban kite]

yes

literally right next to a hive

on the first base

[inner oasis]

have you interracted wiht the base computer after building it?

[meager stream]

this is not infested planet, the trees are normal

infested means void landscape

any planet with anchor point is infested, build there

[urban kite]

k, i'll try that

[inner oasis]

My infested planet was on the third or fourth memory checkpoint thingy

idk if it was same for you

[meager stream]

they are same for everyone

thats why u see a shitton of comm balls on every anchor point

[inner oasis]

ye, then the last checkpoitn has a crashed freighetr and the third/fourth is infestyed

[meager stream]

all 5 are infested

[inner oasis]

first one too?

oh

thought it was scourching planet or whtever its called

[meager stream]

thats literally what the game tells u when u pin that milestone

infested is not a biome

[urban kite]

well, the game has told me 2 different planets when pinning the quest

[meager stream]

its a landscape type

[urban kite]

and neither worked, gonna try the anchor world now

[quartz moth]

so expeditions from earlier are rewards that cant ever be claimed if too late?

[meager stream]

anchor planets must work

u will see

[fringe agate]

Infested is a sub biome

[inner oasis]

ahhh

[meager stream]

there are no trees only void thingys

[fringe agate]

So hot infested, lush infested, etc

[inner oasis]

Anyways, imma just wait for the update that fixes the reward claim thingy, before I log back on on my expedition profile

[urban kite]

ty, i think i found a planet that will work

the quest is bugged and keeps sending you to non infested planets 😦

[meager stream]

hmm, mine directly said "btw all anchor planets are infested"

im actually really worried that such major fix did not come right away

about claiming the frigate

im starting to think the frigate itself is unfinished

[inner oasis]

Well then we wait :)

we cant die on the expedeitio if we dont play it 🧠

Leviathan Expedition ends <t:1657062000:f>
⚠️ You must start your save at least 48 hours before that time. Give yourself ample time for completing this expedition as it's a "roguelike" survival / permadeath experience.

• Save often: Auto-save with starship, manual save with save points. Keep manual and auto saves synchronized.

• Save before claiming a reward, in case the reward glitches. Save after receiving the reward, in case the game crashes after.

• Don't hoard stuff early on. Exosuit storage is not abundant when you start out. Before you can upgrade storage, only keep items for active quests or what you need for survival (e.g., oxygen or life support gel, sodium or sodium nitrate for hazard protection). Sell or discard everything else. Hover over loot you come across, the item card says what you can use it for.

• Update Multiplayer configurations: Disable PvP and Base permissions to reduce potential headaches, like being griefed by other players. If you experience glitches, especially in heavily populated areas, including the Space Anomaly or warping with your freighter, disable Multiplayer and reload your save. See multiplayer visual guide »

[modern junco]

Oh wow. It started already

I thought it will like on juune

ty

[simple kindle]

Is my game bugged? Despite every phase being complete (minus the optional objectives) I can't claim the main expedition reward. Also as a sidenote, the design of this expedition was terrible, I hated every minute of it but had to do it for the rewards, and now I can't even seem to claim the main prize...

[blazing jetty]

Report it to HG zendesk

[peak fractal]

It's a known bug, ye

[blazing jetty]

Also I appreciate them making a rogue like expedition that could wipe your progress but more explanation as to how the loops work would be cool

Like what progress is saved and what isnt.

[simple kindle]

It would be okay if it did not wipe the completed expedition tasks as well.

[inner oasis]

^ THAT agree with. but tbh they KIND of told you as they said its permadeath mode

[granite walrus]

I already quit playing for today. Same reason.

[inner oasis]

\and permadeath means start over

[blazing jetty]

Exactly lmao

[simple kindle]

And I am extra annoyed because there was no content update, only the expedition which everyone seems to hate.

[blazing jetty]

I mean outlaws was 1 and a half months ago

[inner oasis]

then there would be no point of permadeath? no?

[hollow shore]

This appears to be a common issue. Make sure to report as many others will and hopefully have done!

The main reward can only be claimed through Save Edit currently. Not sure this will fix itself as the optional rewards become available

[blazing jetty]

They weren't going to pump out a new update that fast

[fringe agate]

Lol

[blazing jetty]

Nah but you would still start with nothing at the same starting place. Just don't have to do all of the stuff over again. You would still need to commit resources to complete the later milestones.

[inner oasis]

Middleground, only current "loop"/"iteration"/"phase" resets

[hollow shore]

@fringe agate Not sure you seen my two lore (spoiler) posts up above and if you feel they are pin-worthy. Just so you know ...

[inner oasis]

so like if you have finished a phase its "saved"

[blazing jetty]

I'd agree with that

[granite walrus]

From a fellow lore geek, I like it a lot 😄

[blazing jetty]

Cuz u could be hours in and die to a glitch or die to BS and boom you gotta do it ALL again

[vagrant remnant]

my curiosity is compelling me to jump off a cliff and see if, when they fix the final reward bug, i can still claim it because i have all other phase rewards

[fringe agate]

Yeah I was waiting for a lull, discord won't let me drag and drop so I'll have to unpin and pin a few

[hollow shore]

I am sure they'll figure it out once made aware. So I'd suggest to report it, the more the merrier

[simple kindle]

Duplicate your save and try it?

[vagrant remnant]

aye, i agree. already sent them my save last night!! may they fix it soon 🥲

[vagrant remnant]

haha, that's the sensible method

[granite walrus]

Are you willing to play it all over again? If yes, go a head 😄

[inner oasis]

So as I understood it, the rewards you have claimed are still claimed, its that you have to redo the milstones for the last phase, but again, if they made it so each completed phase is a checkpoint, it would maybe be better caus then you have to redo 6 maybe seven asks and not 31 (assuming you have finnished all other phases first)

[blazing jetty]

^^

[simple kindle]

Yeah, it took me eight hours to complete the expedition, would absolutely have hated it if I lost that progress just to do the tedious grind again.

[inner oasis]

same KEKW

[simple kindle]

Roguelike games are different, and actually one of my favourite genres - but NMS isn't a roguelike and doesn't work as such AT ALL.

[granite walrus]

It only took 8 hours? I expected it to take way longer. How many times did you die?

[vagrant remnant]

yeah i think the expedition is just slightly too long for a roguelike experience. you can do a full FTL playthrough in mere hours, but you have to go full sweatlord to do this expedition in that time

[simple kindle]

Once for the mandatory jumping off the cliff at the beginning

[granite walrus]

That's what I was thinking too! Mix mashing genres does not always work. Sometimes it does. But in this game. I don't really like it.

[pale light]

i died... 8 hours gone for nothing... wow. im done with this.

[simple kindle]

Yeah, the design of this expedition is an utter failure

[warm junco]

Be careful

[vagrant remnant]

man that hurts

[vagrant remnant]

i think it's such a cool idea, it's just not perfectly executed. i hope they do another permadeath-style one in the future but with a few tweaks to progression and what resets on death

[pale light]

i was on a low gravity moon and i fell from literally no height whatsoever. and just died

[vagrant remnant]

and i hate expeditions lmao

i had a lot of fun with this

[granite walrus]

I really love the chill, relax, no pressure vibe of this game. And then suddenly they introduce more hardcore mechanics to the game? I don't mind that it's an option to have a harder save file. But as an expedition? I though expeditions was suspose to be for ALL players, not only players who are into hardcore grinding and dying = lose all.

[simple kindle]

Hopefully the failure of this expedition will make the team focus fully on updates and never do expeditions again

[warm junco]

That would be sad

[vagrant remnant]

i am once again asking hg to drop the expedition format and just introduce these things as long-form mission chains you can do on any save

[warm junco]

And an overreaction

Are you guys really having trouble?

[simple kindle]

As long as I can't do expeditions on my main save I am against them.

[granite walrus]

I jumped twice of a cliff. My milestone did not unlock. I got confused and aggitated. Quit the game to play something else. I will try again when I am in the mood again.

[cosmic ingot]

Expeditions are all about limited availablity rewards.

[vagrant remnant]

yeah but the FOMO is strong even in this community

[cosmic ingot]

They want a load of rewards that cannot be attained by just anyone at any time

[warm junco]

The idea of the game is that you're a traveler in an infinite number of time loops while you explore the galaxy

[simple kindle]

I know the lore.

[granite walrus]

I did not know that was the philosophy behind expeditions 😮

[warm junco]

The concept of new saves is built into the premise of the game

[vagrant remnant]

even sweaty fps games often have your "weekly/monthly challenges to get a cool gun" but then you can also just earn it anyway afterwards

[warm junco]

You get all the rewards on your main save

[vagrant remnant]

i simply believe they should let us choose to start expeditions in regular saves, have them pull up the milestone tree for that expedition, and then have us "locked" into it until we either give up or finish it... and then you can do the next one, and the next one, and so on

[inner oasis]

they rerun the expeditions during holidays? sooo you have multiple chances?

[vagrant remnant]

you can still have us portal over to the starting planet, have the expedition paths, whatever

it can still be a community romp

[vagrant remnant]

they did do this last year, this is true! hopefully they do it again

but what about all the Switch babbies, how will they get the cool jetpacks or whatever?

[warm junco]

You guys all just want it to be easy lol

[inner oasis]

Nah I loved the permadeath idea

[warm junco]

The point is the challenge of starting anew

[inner oasis]

8 hours of a lot of fun

[vagrant remnant]

i live for the pain. i loved this expedition more than every other expedition except maybe cartographers

[granite walrus]

No, I want it to be clear what the game expects me to do. And to be not buggy. Especially at start 🤣

[warm junco]

I mean it has written instructions

[vagrant remnant]

nah, they've explicitly said it's for the joy of starting anew - the fun part of the game for most

[granite walrus]

Well, you did not read what I wrote down earlier.

[vagrant remnant]

remember that guys

it's supposed to be fun

it's a casual game~

[granite walrus]

Suiciding twice, to not see the suicide milestone unlock confuses a player. And you need the reward of that milestone, to get your ship fixed.

[simple kindle]

Interesting, that's the part of the game I hated the most, and is the reason why I don't start new saves to grind again for stuff.

[vagrant remnant]

agreed. for me mid-game is the most fun. i hate all the nagging mission chains early on

[inner oasis]

The question is... If I reach the cnter of the galaxy on the permadeath expedition does that counts towards the achivement?

[simple kindle]

Well, they failed spectacularly in that regard.

[warm junco]

Why would they release content you can just buy your way through with units?

That's what would happen on your main save

You'd just fly straight there, buy everything you needed, and it'd be over

[simple kindle]

Excellent

[vagrant remnant]

because that's 90% of the content in this game? like most content is either to earn more units or to let you convert units to equipment

it's like the entire gameplay loop lmao

[simple kindle]

I just want the rewards.

[warm junco]

No fun or challenge at all

[granite walrus]

You make a good point there.

[inner oasis]

you do the missions? damn XD

[warm junco]

Thats not how rewards work

You earn them

[fringe agate]

I think if they ever stop re running expeditions, they will introduce the rewards into the QS store.

[vagrant remnant]

i just want them out of my log, haha!

[frank galleon]

Thats what save editors are for. The rest of us want a game

[simple kindle]

I don't save edit.

[ashen shore]

had the same issue, just report to zendesk

[inner oasis]

if you never open the log, it doesnt exist 🧠

[vagrant remnant]

let's not pretend save editors are a solution. there's enough elitism in this community about doing things solely legitimately already

[inner oasis]

save edits are only locally though?

no?

[vagrant remnant]

they are! but people get all stingy about it, like. i did it properly and you're weird for not, or something

[inner oasis]

who fkn cares

OMEGALUL

There is a creative mode

[vagrant remnant]

for me i don't really care. i save edited half the first expedition after it wiped my progress three whole times

[granite walrus]

But if you unlock cosmetics locally, does it show up for other players?

[inner oasis]

like obvioudly its not pnly about tryharding

LOl

[frank galleon]

The players that want playable content and challenges care

[vagrant remnant]

yeah it does

[ashen shore]

yes

[granite walrus]

So that's why people do it then. To have that golden mask thingy.

[inner oasis]

just do the challanges ytourself?

[frank galleon]

That is what we are asking.
The other side is asking for no playable content, just cosmetics

And I am saying for those players, the save editor exists

[vagrant remnant]

is this really true though? most who don't enjoy expeditions just wish they could play it on their regular saves and adjust difficulty manually

i'd do all expeditions on survival if i could

[ashen shore]

i think people irritated because they spend hours on a challanging expedition then some guy comes along and save edits the reward in 3 minutes, basicly just angry that they can get the rewards without the work

then again idk

[warm junco]

People want expeditions that are like 'kill a plant's, 'mine 10 copper'

[fringe agate]

There is a mod that adds the rewards to the QS store, for purchasing

[vagrant remnant]

the journey should be the reward :')

[inner oasis]

Just play the game the way you like it, and use the tools needed for it 🤷‍♂️, I dont give a damn about if someone save edits their shit, unless it actually affects my gameplay directly

[simple kindle]

I only play vanilla.

[frank galleon]

I have been waiting for a survival level expedition since the beginning of Expeditions.
Now that we have one, players want no challenge to the Expeditions at all

[fringe agate]

doesn't affect any gameplay

Just lets you buy them

[warm junco]

You have all kinds of self imposed limits jeeze

[vagrant remnant]

because most people are used to normal and the forgiving fall damage or whatever. they don't adjust fast enough, get halfway in, die, and see they have to restart completely

[granite walrus]

Why wouldn't people be allowed to use save editor to get cosmetics that they missed out (because of expeditions)? They also paid for the game. They are also a costumer.

[cosmic ingot]

Customer*

[vagrant remnant]

costumer is a fitting mistype for cosmetic discussions

[frank galleon]

What is the point of playable content in a survival game if the game aspect is walking to a location and collecting the reward?

[granite walrus]

Let people approach the game how they want. As long as it doesn't impact how you experience the game (cheating, hacking, bug abuse etc).

[simple kindle]

Anyways, now that I have confirmed the existence of the bug and completed the expedition, time to say farewell for the time being. Thanks for pointing me to the bug reporter.

[vagrant remnant]

i don't understand your question. are we declaring normal mode expeditions as walking sims, or are you worried allowing us to play expeditions on regular saves would make it a walking sim?

in either case, i don't really care. i'll make it as hard as i want it to be: the babby who loves normal mode can make it as easy as they want it to be

[silent agate]

Is this an argument..?

[cosmic ingot]

Also, have consideration for the console playerbase. Save editing is blatantly unfair in a cross platform game

[ashen shore]

story aspect i guess

[vagrant remnant]

a discussion, surely!!

[granite walrus]

Good point! I agree with you on that one.

[frank galleon]

Neither. I'm saying the players that just want rewards and want Expeditions changed to accomodate that specifically are negatively impacting the players that want there to be an actual game

[vagrant remnant]

my point is that there is still an actual game within the expedition format. it doesn't need to be a separate mode to posses that

[hushed steeple]

Are the Loop research quests supposed to be repeatable or is it just not registering for me though I've handed in multiple times to Polo/

[vagrant remnant]

nms' gameplay loops are simple, but even in an end-game save, you can still progress, face challenges, whatever. normal mode lacks this greatly with how forgiving it is, but HG are literally the devs. they can modify stuff to fit, no doubt

[cosmic ingot]

loop research is a community goal thing, whereby they are supposed to be repeated to reach tier 5 of the community goal

[silent agate]

What is save editing anyway?

[hushed steeple]

Ugh.

[silent agate]

You broke the game

[vagrant remnant]

community research? in my singleplayer expedition?! it's more likely than you think -

[ashen shore]

using software to change game code values

[cosmic ingot]

On PC, you can find your local save file and edit it

[granite walrus]

Remember, not every player has the same end goal in a game. Especially this one. I can understand that some people want a challenge. But others want to create a zoo and find animals. Other players just want to explore. Others want to be a pirate and just raid. Others want to build end game base.

End game can be for a lot of players different in a sandbox game.

[ashen shore]

its basicly what it sounds like, editing your save-files with a program

[vagrant remnant]

i 100% agree! that's the joy of it, and why i think expeditions is actually the wrong way to format this stuff

let players dictate how they'll tackle it. give them a goal and a bit of restriction and let them try

[frank galleon]

And for those players, Expeditions are really not the best way to accomplish those goals

[granite walrus]

True, but what if I want a whale for my base too (the cosmetic statue)?

[silent agate]

Why would I go into permadeath mode if I wanted to build a zoo?

[vagrant remnant]

expeditions suck for general game progression. i love some of the rewards and enjoy some of the formats (cartographers, this one), but i'd honestly prefer to just chill on my main survival save and progress in both that and the milestones

[frank galleon]

Because Normal mode allows them to get right into the standard experience of NMS.
They can immediately join the rest of the community and contribute or receive help from other established players

[frank galleon]

Ask someone who's completed the Expedition to build one at your base?

[supple walrus]

I just get to the anomaly, pick up all my Twitch Drop ships, then scrap them all at the station. Net about 13-15 million units. Then buy whatever resources are needed.

[inner oasis]

Lol actual lifehack

[silent agate]

I bought this game in 2016. I don’t think I’m entitled to all the free content that the devs give us in an economy where it’s so common that extra content costs more. If there’s locked content behind a LTM then I think that’s better than needing to pay for it

[vagrant remnant]

they'd be a great source of nanites too, especially with the inflated prices in this expedition!

[supple walrus]

Bonus Lifehack: the Twitch drop multi tools are pretty good too and swapping to those saves you having to install a lot of tech.

[vagrant remnant]

yeah but why settle for "at least this isn't totally garbage" when you can aim for "pls improve this so the LTM/FOMO aspect is gone thanks"

[granite walrus]

Anyway, don't get me wrong. I don't think HG did this expedition to exclude players from expedition. I believe they truly think it's a cool format and cool idea. And it's better to try out new stuff (sometimes a hit, sometimes a miss) than do the same thing over and over again without innovating.

[inner oasis]

I only caught the latest drops in April sos I dont have that m,any drops

[vagrant remnant]

yeah, this and cartographers are genuinely cool ideas

[inner oasis]

bless, FR

[vagrant remnant]

the rest are a bit midtier though

[frank galleon]

That's the only Twitch drop i took this time around.
I've grown to like that white pistol twitch drop

[frank galleon]

I'm excited for more players in Survival mode afterward

[inner oasis]

I would like a outlaw cnetered expedition where you cant use normal stations as save points and stuff

[supple walrus]

Definitely, I applaud them for experimenting and trying a new idea.

[cosmic ingot]

It would be interesting to see if they could do a creative mode expedition. Not sure how it would play out - maybe mostly extensive exploration goals and finding rare stuff that isnt resources

[indigo falcon]

I expect most players will do the same thing the majority do with expedition saves at the end and never look at them again tbh

[silent agate]

The game is huge and they might need to pick and choose what their servers can handle at once

[indigo falcon]

who here plays all of their expedition saves? or even half of them

[supple walrus]

I caught most of the drops since they started doing them and used a save editor to get the rest on my account when I missed them. I’ve also used a save editor in the past to get expedition stuff since I missed some of the expeditions last year and I’m not a fan of time gated content.

[vagrant remnant]

i for one instantly delete them as soon as i'm done :')

[frank galleon]

Legend!

[vagrant remnant]

i think for most players to want to continue an expedition save, it'd have to line up with when they were tempted to make a new save regardless, which is probably not going to happen often for most players

[inner oasis]

Expeditions are Account linked right?

so I can go to another computer and claim it?

[indigo falcon]

happened last night while chattering away about the expedition 🙂

[frank galleon]

The first and third exp are the only exp saves i return to.
I'll likely return to this one tho

[indigo falcon]

any save file for that account, phase rewards and end of expd reward can be claimed a t the quicksilver shop

[supple walrus]

The only expedition save I’ve kept an still play on was the Cartographer’s Expedition

[indigo falcon]

man, 3 was a stinker 😄 I parked that save as fast as possible when it finished

[supple walrus]

I don’t have any existing survival saves, so I’ll likely keep this one too when it ends.

[frank galleon]

Really??
I kept it for that ship lol, and also because that was the first expedition where i started building with glitches, so i have nostalgia for my bases lol

[indigo falcon]

I had a really crap spawn in, and a buggy signal booster, and the required minotaur use had a sentinel on my footsteps investigating after literally every leap so I wound up doing half that milesotne and then walking/mostly swimming back... just a slog. I was glad to be done with it 😄

[frank galleon]

The only thing i dont like is our freighter doesnt have a hyperdrive, so im not sure if im expected to ditch the freighter for a different one

[inner oasis]

what was it about?

[fringe agate]

Going to shuffle pins real quick, sorry

[warm junco]

As a new player it would be cool to be able to go back and do the other expeditions, but I understand wanting to reward loyalty to those that were there from the start

[fringe agate]

#nms-expedition message

[vagrant remnant]

3 was cool: you started stranded on a planet with a hard-to-fix exotic ship and had to make it off world

[humble bramble]

So has anybody actually gotten the final reward because my thing so far says phases completed 0/5 and I finished the first phase already

[frank galleon]

We had redux expeditions at the end of the year last year.
Not a guarantee but we might get another round of redux' this year too

[vagrant remnant]

nah it's ruined

[indigo falcon]

we spent the majority of the time on one planet (not a bad idea in theory) but... if you got a bad spawn, you wound up on an island with nothing but water or some other tiny island in reach. not really good for roaming around and doing the milestones 😄

[frank galleon]

Favorite expedition up until this one (havent finished yet)

[ashen shore]

its either very bugged or they are locking the reward until a larger portion of players are near it

[indigo falcon]

I think that you'll have to wait for the expd reward until the community progress has completed! be patient

[vagrant remnant]

yeah it was great! i think i prefer the idea of this one, but the execution of 3 was the best of all expeditions

[inner oasis]

so the whole expedition was on a singl eplanet and the final reward you got when you got off the planet?

[indigo falcon]

or get in there and give more stuffs to Polo

[inner oasis]

that sounds pretty fun ngl

[indigo falcon]

most of it was on the one planet yeah

[silent agate]

That sounds like a lot of people on a single planet

[indigo falcon]

heh it was

[vagrant remnant]

oh yeah i hear it became hell after a few days, trying to get a base down in some areas

glad i finished it immediately

[indigo falcon]

so if you didn't start right away, odds are you would have to get quite a ways away to build a base, from your spawn point. without a ship

[ashen shore]

someone should save-edit and speedrun the community progress lock thing by giving polo millions of liquid sun

[frank galleon]

I thought of another way to relive expedition 3. Empty your inventory, move all ship tech to inventory tab, then core warp with the bespoke ship. 😈

[inner oasis]

If you want to be nice to otehr people, you delete your base after you have got the milestone

I did

[inner oasis]

with all my "make a base" milestones

[silent agate]

You want people to be kind?! D:<

[frank galleon]

That might still be the most heavily populated planet in the game now. Gisto Major, home to at least 5000 bases (the ui cuts off lol)

[indigo falcon]

I put mine on a tiny island in the middle of nowhere and then didn't worry about it because no one else spawned there

[inner oasis]

anyone have cords to it?

[indigo falcon]

I think I did put useful strter things in there though, in case of visitors

[frank galleon]

Sec, nvm, cant find any at the moment

[inner oasis]

its in the first galaxy right?

[indigo falcon]

euclid, yep

all expeditions have been in euclid except 6

[inner oasis]

wait which one was 6 in?

[indigo falcon]

89 (U... something, ended in 90, Paholiang)

[inner oasis]

(nmot counting the ending where you jupm to the next one)

ah

Imma be honest, exp 6 was pretty ZZZ, it was literally "play no mans sky like normally" and you get the rewards

[silent agate]

Oof

[frank galleon]

Yeah, it was Euclid. Just search for screenshots of gisto major. Someones bound to have got the glyphs

[inner oasis]

👍

[indigo falcon]

I found the storyline to be kind of nice (often there's not much of a narrative, with the exception of 4)

[silent agate]

I was expecting to fight more pirates

[indigo falcon]

32 not enough for ya?

[silent agate]

No

[indigo falcon]

guess you needed to keep warping

every 3 warps, more 🙂

[inner oasis]

storyline wise it was cool, but milestone wise it was pretty boring

"visit green system, visit red system, etc"

like

you literally do all of that when playing completely normally

[indigo falcon]

question is what do you wnt in milestones: kill 20 x, map 10 y? I'm not too excited by grindy milestones generally

[silent agate]

32 is a fine minimum but I think I needed more intense fights

[frank galleon]

Pioneers expedition has entered the chat

[inner oasis]

KEKW

[frank galleon]

60 waypoints

60

[indigo falcon]

remember that expeditions need to accomodate various gameplay styles

[inner oasis]

idk, it was a cool expedition, but idk, wasnt my type ig, I liked this one MUCH more

[inner oasis]

💀 at least you get an S class ship in the end

[indigo falcon]

so if an expedition offers more difficult paths it has to offer easire paths for those players who for example aren't experts in combat or whatever

[frank galleon]

You get one earlier than that even.
The Good Ship milestone

[silent agate]

Maybe two or more expeditions at a time of varying difficulties

[frank galleon]

Honmatan OQ5, the other reason i kept my exp 1 save lol

[inner oasis]

isnt the goldern thingy "complete expedition 1"

ohhh

nvm

[quartz moth]

We need like huge sandworm fights like in mandalorian or an adventure like us we can bump into in our expedition path, that will try to eliminate us

[indigo falcon]

I mean this current one may work out that way, hard to tell (memoryfragments get better as community progress bar moves)

[frank galleon]

Yeah, thats the full expedition reward

[quartz moth]

world bosses in expeditions would be sick

[frank galleon]

One jumped out right next to me yesterday. Definitely screamed lmao

[silent agate]

WHERE O:<

[frank galleon]

Thought it was one of the striders at first haha

[quartz moth]

hahah i only seen one once in my time of playing, i really get happy when i see a planet that has it

[frank galleon]

Starting planet for the Expedition

[inner oasis]

wiki only says 45 milestones?

[silent agate]

Tf, I didn’t see any D:

[mint moon]

anyone know the starter system in the expedition? I forgot
wanna go back and take portal coords

[inner oasis]

"only"

[frank galleon]

Thats the reduced amount. The og exp 1 was 60

[indigo falcon]

my main save and my main fallback save both have paradise planets with their main bases blessed by the Great Maker, it's pretty awesome

[quartz moth]

its anchor 1

[inner oasis]

they changed it? OH

[silent agate]

I wanna build a lil house on the starting planet

[frank galleon]

Oh...45 milestones

Milestones are the challenges

[quartz moth]

its anchor 1, the first planet is on i believe

[frank galleon]

One of the challenges was finding 60 waypoint beacons

[silent agate]

Y’all are invited to come visit for some tea

[indigo falcon]

the reruns have easier milestones to fit in a shorter timespan

[mint moon]

i've finished the expedition, i don't know which one has anchor one

[inner oasis]

💀 aint no way

I haven’t finished the expedition yet. Is the Leviathan edible?

[fringe agate]

Most things are, at least once

[inner oasis]

wait do I just tag ethe whole role?

[fringe agate]

Yep!

[inner oasis]

ah ok, thx 👍

[silent agate]

Ima eat it

[fringe agate]

Okie dokie

[indigo falcon]

incoming bug fix soon? I wonder what specifically

[granite walrus]

I think reward? Seems the easiest to fix?

[indigo falcon]

I don't think you are supposed to be able to claim the end reward untl community progress happens

maybe that's wrong but that's my impression

[silent agate]

What’s the last reward anyway

[granite walrus]

Oh, everyone keeps saying: "It's a bug. Use save editor." ... so I believe it.

[inner oasis]

we at 30% on the universal research last I checked

[indigo falcon]

30% already? really? dang that's fast

I wonder if that's having impact on memory fragments yet

[inner oasis]

I wouldnt know, caus Im laready done with the expedition and have contributed almost 100k resources to the research sooo

Im done with the expedition

[mint moon]

huh

apparently I can't install the temporal trail on my living ship on my main save

that sucks

wonder why

[inner oasis]

Oh shit Thanks for reminding me, I need to get my living ship on one of my saves

[mint moon]

huh

odd

I claimed the trail from the anomaly but i can't even see it available to install on any ship

[indigo falcon]

maybe that's a bug being fixed...

[soft shadow]

Question, about how long is the newest expedition? I spent about 7-9 hours on Blighted, and I was curious, as I already know I'm gonna be doing a ton of grinding tonight lmao

[fringe agate]

Seen a couple people do it in 4

Probably like the others though, where experience in the game will dictate the time needed

[soft shadow]

Oh nice lol

Thanks!

[fringe agate]

Np

[uneven sandal]

Has anyone else played the Forgotten City mod for Skyrim? My wife started it last week and it's very familiar to this new expedition, in that you're stuck in a time loop and have to die at least once to complete a milestone. All to say, it's Groundhog season across the multiverse.

[inner oasis]

from 4 to 8 hours depending on if you speedrun or just playing normally ish?

[indigo falcon]

there is no speedrun strategy yet

[soft shadow]

Alright, thanks!

[humble bramble]

Tbh I doubt that you aren't meant to be able to claim the reward until the community progress is complete because those milestones say OPTIONAL

[indigo falcon]

they are optional for you to do. but they need to get done.

[fringe agate]

Either way, it's confusing

Says all phases complete

Then says 0/5

[indigo falcon]

nms logic

[remote thunder]

anchor1 planet

[indigo falcon]

I don't even understand what we're looking at there

[humble bramble]

Sentinel pillar

[remote thunder]

lat/long, sentinel nest

[humble bramble]

I got lucky with suspicious goods

[remote thunder]

i got even luckier then

random exploration ftw 😄

[humble bramble]

Also wtf

Since when were upgrade modules so expensive

[remote thunder]

it's a exp7 thing

[humble bramble]

😭

[ashen shore]

It discourages you from buying things

Gotta trust in the memory frags

[silent agate]

No D:<

I want S class modules

[humble bramble]

I never will trust rng

[humble bramble]

TRUE

[remote thunder]

i still bought 1 s-class hyperdrive mod

[ashen shore]

You can have them when all the community milestones are done

[remote thunder]

zoology on 3 planets

[inner oasis]

sell memory frags for 400. buy hyperdrive modules

[indigo falcon]

why is there light blue glowiness around it though

[inner oasis]

ezz 700 lighyerars range

[silent agate]

dupes everything

[ashen shore]

Honestly I just speedran the expedition, didn’t have time for buying modules

[humble bramble]

I only want hyperdrive modules

[remote thunder]

oh, that's cuz i'm aiming my visor at it i think, or maybe a sentinel behind it

[silent agate]

I wanted shield and movement modules cus I didn’t wanna die accidentally

[inner oasis]

well you can do the whole expedition travel in 8 jumps... XD

[ashen shore]

The time it takes to buy those stupidly expensive modules just wasn’t worth it to me

I bought stacks of materials for warp drives, and starting jumping

[indigo falcon]

and the sell prices are not similarly inflated 😡

[ashen shore]

Nope

[inner oasis]

You sell the ones you get from memory frags and buy from outlawy post on the way?

XD

[remote thunder]

15min, 4k+ nanites

not that much time.

[ashen shore]

One of the first systems I ran into was an outlaw system, so I picked up a “deliver illegal weapons” mission and just sold the weapons

[inner oasis]

same

[ashen shore]

15 minutes I’d rather spend finishing the expedition

[remote thunder]

up to you, sure

[ashen shore]

Besides, 4K nanites isn’t enough to afford an S class module

Which is comedic

[remote thunder]

so?

it's supposed to be "harder"

[ashen shore]

I’m not complaining, just explaining why I chose not to go that route

[inner oasis]

S class? You buy X class at outlaw

and get like 300 ly hyperdrave range?

(some luck involve ofc)

[remote thunder]

and possibly risk getting 50-300LY? no thanks

[ashen shore]

I hit the outlaw system really early on before I had any nanites

[remote thunder]

how did you

[ashen shore]

So I just never ended up coming back to it

[granite walrus]

Experimental branch updated 😄

Fixed an issue that could prevent players from collecting the final reward from an expedition while there were uncomplete optional milestones. <-- so it was a bug after all

[granite walrus]

Meanwhile I am refreshing this page: https://steamdb.info/app/275850/depots/?__cf_chl_tk=.HBwh1tuf6G.RPi0RbYV_MPLtGTig3bxV8SdIiFOxpA-1653577728-0-gaNycGzNCGU

[fringe agate]

[indigo falcon]

Fixed a GPU crash on PlayStation 5. < -- good for me

[granite walrus]

They are quick with the fixes dang!

[ashen shore]

Now if only they’d push it out to ps4 so I can get my rewards

And then never look at the expedition again

[indigo falcon]

give it a few days 🙂

[remote thunder]

so, there's an outlaw system nearby/along the exp route?

[indigo falcon]

at least one, yes

[ashen shore]

I hit one on the expedition route

Very early on

[remote thunder]

and?

[ashen shore]

And what

[remote thunder]

which one

[humble bramble]

It's like the second system

Maybe third

[ashen shore]

I believe the name of it is yemiene or something similar

[remote thunder]

with default hd range?

[humble bramble]

Yeah

[ashen shore]

I had this talk with someone last night

[remote thunder]

coming from where?

starter, rdv1, rdv2?

[humble bramble]

Toympieae III

[remote thunder]

thanks

[inner oasis]

yes

third or fourth sustem I think

along the route

[indigo falcon]

before anchor point 1 I think

[inner oasis]

yee

[ashen shore]

At this rate, someone just needs to go grab the portal glyphs to a planet in that system

I’ve seen a couple of people struggling to find an outlaw system

[indigo falcon]

oh, for the smuggling one

[ashen shore]

Indeed

[remote thunder]

not struggling, just don't want to spend 3k nanites on an eco scanner

[humble bramble]

So I just found out

The kill 20 sentinels gives you a sentinel boundary map

[remote thunder]

yes, you don't need to get to level 5

[humble bramble]

I got lucky

I found a map in a suspicious goods thing

When I was in the outlaw system

[ashen shore]

I mean if you get to level 4, it’s easy enough to kill the walker for level 5

It finishes the sentinel shutdown milestone

[remote thunder]

yes, but you can also complete via charts or randomly finding one

[ashen shore]

You can, yes

[humble bramble]

Normally I would murder

[ashen shore]

But if you’re killing sentinels anyways

Might as well

[humble bramble]

But I'm not planning on dying

[remote thunder]

might not have decent enough gear.

do not underestimate sentinels

[ashen shore]

I did the milestone with a bolt caster

So 🤷‍♂️

[granite walrus]

Are sentinels more beefy in survival/expedition?

[inner oasis]

murder is more fun XD

They are more annoying but still kinda ezz (if you have ok gear)

[ashen shore]

I didn’t notice any significant health buffs

[inner oasis]

like shield upgrade and core health upgrad eis recommended

[ashen shore]

More health and shields is a must in the expedition

[humble bramble]

My game just crashed

[inner oasis]

Health > damage in this exp all day

[humble bramble]

👍

First crash in like recent memory

On a series x 😭

[granite walrus]

my first death resulted in a crash today 🤣 Think the (new) death screen made it crash.

[remote thunder]

i've been killing sentinels without a single shot fired

[ashen shore]

NMS throws me a crash about once a week

[pale light]

wait my old base still stands after my death?

[ashen shore]

I luckily didn’t have any during exp

[inner oasis]

lol

[remote thunder]

apparently so

[pale light]

maybe stuff is still in the storage then it would be a bit less bad

[pale light]

well lets hope the storage unit kept my most valueable stuff

[inner oasis]

the storage unit is bound to the player and not the world itself? sooo

Idk about that one

[pale light]

well my base is still marked. so i hope im still the same player

cause it still says its MY base

[indigo falcon]

Toympiae III is a gek system, F8/water, 86LY from Roland-Desk and on the way to Cebrac Eliwyn, if that helps

[inner oasis]

What Im saying is that, you might be unlucky and all your "inventories has been wiped"

[inner oasis]

for what?

[ashen shore]

Outlaw system

[indigo falcon]

outlaw system

[pale light]

yeah we'll see in a few min. i hope it didnt cause yeah i lost a ton, but theres a lot of useful stuff in my storage

[inner oasis]

ahh

[remote thunder]

thanks @indigo falcon

[indigo falcon]

as I understand it, items built on the freighter remain but anything in storage is gone

[hushed steeple]

We're actually in Euclid this time.

[opal bridge]

So I have an idea. For those not wanting to lose progress in the expedition, at least on the Xbox. Get to a position and make sure your game is synced up to the cloud save. Disconnect from the internet and do whatever you need to do in the game. Nif you survive then go back online and resync your game. If you die, delete your local save game and then resync your online game and you'll have your save back.

[granite walrus]

Euclid is the best! (also the only galaxy I ever visited).

[ashen shore]

Euclid is angry

So many extreme planets

[granite walrus]

Well, maybe Euclid is less fun on survival. But on normal, I like it.

[humble bramble]

Ok so I found a pirate system going to the third thing

And one going to the seconr

[cosmic ingot]

Euclid has arms and zones, and planetary generation appears to depend on which arm or zone you are in

[granite walrus]

And other galaxy don't have arms/zones? Interesting.

[cosmic ingot]

yeah they all do

[granite walrus]

Then I misunderstood you 🙂

[cosmic ingot]

The wiki galaxy page tells you something about it

[humble bramble]

I got good RNG 😁

[pale light]

AH SHIT my storage is wiped aswell. but landing at my base instantly cleared the "build a base on a toxic planet" thingy

[indigo falcon]

yes, bases are preserved, including freighter bases

[granite walrus]

So one big lose and a small win?

[summer oyster]

Luckily PS4 has a flash drive option to copy saved data and that's what I did.

[remote thunder]

"base on a toxic" biome?

[pale light]

its a decent win cause at least i got my portal and medium refiner still here

[remote thunder]

thought there was only a milsetone for "infested biome"

[indigo falcon]

infested, right

[pale light]

thats what i meant.

oh im orange now. bleh lol

[indigo falcon]

moving up in the world!

[summer oyster]

How's the expedition going for everyone?

[pale light]

shit. i died before from a fall that wouldnt even harm my grandma on a low grav planet

but at least my old base still stands, so thats something i guess

[ashen shore]

Fall damage is not your friend

[granite walrus]

Unless you want that 3rd milestone ofc 😄

Than junping is your friend.

[hoary crow]

Not started expedition as yet. Hopefully it's as simple as the last.

[vagrant remnant]

good on hg for fixing this so quickly!

[remote thunder]

@wraith venture ^

[vagrant remnant]

i love it

[ashen shore]

Ay nice

Got more motivation to play it sooner now

[hoary crow]

Can you send on missions or is it just for looks?

[ashen shore]

Bet Polo still won't accept my liquid sun tho 😩

[vagrant remnant]

can use on missions, too

[ashen shore]

Be cool if you could have a pod of them

[vagrant remnant]

stats for the curious

[wraith venture]

yay!!!! so happy that's been fixed

ty for the heads up @vagrant remnant

[zinc kestrel]

Can I ask for a bit of help with the expedition here?

[wraith venture]

this is gonna sound silly, but can i ask you for a favor can you please post this in #nms-photomode-gallery and ping Discord Mods as part of your post so i can use it as the example on how to obtain the Leviathan role?

[golden remnant]

is this an expedition reward?

[vagrant remnant]

sure thing, sure thing!!

[wraith venture]

thank you so much!

[golden remnant]

OH i need to play the expedition now

i want that

[wraith venture]

oh yes you do

[pale light]

WTDF HAPPENED i entered a crashed freighter in space and died

[ashen shore]

Yknow how some of the milestones are the most risky? Like the 10 eggs and stuff? Do you reckon it's smart to do those first so that death is less impactful, or do them later when you have more stuff and death is less likely?

[pale light]

from nothing

[ashen shore]

Just got a standard blaze javelin

[dark gyro]

saw that buying exosuit upgrades from minor settlements cost the usual cheap nanites

[vagrant remnant]

and it's done, hope that helps you all out

[pale light]

build a wall around the eggs, open an egg outside the wall so they spawn there and cant reach you inside

[ashen shore]

Smort

[wraith venture]

oh actually, is it possible that you "edit" the post itself and tag @Discord Mods?

[zinc kestrel]

Can I ask for a bit of help finding a planet where I can collect the storm crystals for the expedition? I have tried extreme and regular storm planets and neither spawned

[vagrant remnant]

huh it didn't let me put in the ping to start with, haha

[ashen shore]

And then when you pick the ones inside the wall they don't spawn inside and eat you?

[vagrant remnant]

yeah i did it! first time it just deleted it

[pale light]

i entered a destroyed freighter AND DIED thank fuck my game crashed and my last save was 5min ago. wtf

[pale light]

yup. they might eventually, but for me i was able to steal 11 and none spawned inside

[ashen shore]

Awesome, thanks a lot

[wraith venture]

yay! thank you!

[pale light]

yw.

[wraith venture]

@vagrant remnant you got the role now too

[pale light]

i died, but my game crashed so im back at my save from 5min ago... wtf :x

couldnt that have happened earlier today instead of me losing 8h

[humble bramble]

I almost just died 👍

[remote thunder]

😉 works (they do spawn inside the walls, but come out phasing)

[pale light]

ofc it works, when i have a big brain idea ik what im talking about
