nms-expedition

[foggy cloak]

You can just go random, but you have higher chances doing so

Yeah, but you still need 3k nanites to get the scanner blueprint if you have got it as a pre-packaged upgrade

[gilded tiger]

You can also check your discoveries if you've already been to one

[gilded tiger]

I had enough but idk how I got that much, wasn't farming at all, did sell the upgrades till late game

[foggy cloak]

Yeah, the upgrades give a lot of nanites

A funny fact really

The price is backwards compatible

[gilded tiger]

Wdym? As in it sells high too?

[foggy cloak]

Yes I think so

[gilded tiger]

Oh I thought it went that high outside expedition. But that's probably the sentinel shard

[alpine topaz]

I think there was a pirate system on the way to anchor point 1

Like the 3rd stopover

[gilded tiger]

I had the scanner and they were hard to come by around that area of where you get the mission

Must have scanned 30 - 40 systems easy

[silver current]

I could jump to it from anchor 2, stumbled upon it on accident

[hot drum]

^ i found one by accident as well, i think from anchor 2

[gritty depot]

Not every extreme weather planet spawns storm crystals

[foggy cloak]

Or don't, that place is stiff af and you can't use the minotaur there

[hot drum]

oh really? damn

[foggy cloak]

Anchor 4 is nightmare of fall damage

[foggy cloak]

Yeah, you can't infinite jetpack with the minotaur

[dense basin]

True, but you can also aim around the steepest parts and get there without dying to fall damage

Better slow than dead

[hot drum]

i didnt use a minotaur to do so i didnt know, my bad

[silver current]

is the mino better at protecting from storms and stuff?

havent used it much

lucklily i survived and am now on planet 5

[foggy cloak]

Yes, it has a permanent weather shield

[hot drum]

i only used the mino to kill sentinels tbh

[foggy cloak]

Rookie, all it takes is a jetpack and a scatter blaster, titans are no match for a good blaster

[hot drum]

dont call me out like that 😭 i know im a rookie XD

i was scared and i just happen to be on the planet where i have my mino on so

why not

XD

[foggy cloak]

Sorry, didn't mean to be rude

[hot drum]

no no

i didnt take it personally XD

[gilded tiger]

I discovered minotaur in expedition. We're best friends now

[dense basin]

I killed a walker standing toe to toe with an unmodified pulse spitter and a shield. But I ran away screaming from the anchor 1 loop event in my minotaur

I don't like those things

[gilded tiger]

What things? The animals? I don't remember anything that bad in anchor 1

[thick smelt]

anyone else having trouble with getting the hermetic seal recipe?

[loud fable]

You have to die to unlock it

[deft phoenix]

@gritty depot I believe you also have a chance of obtaining Storm Crystals from Suspicious Packets (Goods) but I won't gurantee that info cuz It's been a bit since I looked for some

[thick smelt]

im on mission 3 and i cant fix my ship

[loud fable]

Phase 1 milestone, die to unlock it. It reset everything else tho

[thick smelt]

😑 i just saw mission 4, FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF welp, GERANIMO!

[fair dirge]

welp, done with all the main milestones. now time to intermittently grind for the optional ones

[thick smelt]

no wonder they put you near gravino bals.................

[loud fable]

Make sure to read everything before you play. There are some mission you can finish early, like tame aggressive animal

There is one on starting planet

[thick smelt]

oooooo, yeah i noticed last expedition that i could skip ahead a bit if i was familar with the base game, this is only my secind expedition, but its really fun, i love the base game, but this really adds depth

[loud fable]

Yeah this one is a bit different tho. It's survival/ permadeath mode so it's really difficult

[foggy cloak]

YES! KILL, MAIM, BURN! CHAOS WILL CONSUME YOU!

[gilded tiger]

It's my second expedition too and I really liked this one over the last

[alpine topaz]

This is my first expedition.. I do like how that balanced certain parts of it to make it harder.

Altho many ppl complained about the permadeath

[thick smelt]

so i used all my memory fragments the second i got them 🤔 should i start over, im only 30 mins in

[foggy cloak]

Yeah, rookies don't like challenges

[alpine topaz]

There's a lot more memory fragments to get though

[foggy cloak]

No, continue

[gilded tiger]

No, you get them back right away. Same thing happened to me

[alpine topaz]

Also u can reload ur autosave.. And open the fragments to try get types u prefer

[gilded tiger]

I play on survival on my main so mb that's why I enjoyed it

[loud fable]

I bet 90% people die from fall damage lol.

[thick smelt]

thanks for all the help gang, you guys will make this new playthough so much more fun 😁

[alpine topaz]

I died from this. Hahah

[foggy cloak]

Yeah, especially at Anchor 4

[thick smelt]

afk has killed me more times then i can count in the base game

[foggy cloak]

Fucking stiff as hell

[alpine topaz]

Is achor 4 all cliffs?

[foggy cloak]

Mostly yes

[gilded tiger]

Idk how anyone could get through anchor 4 without minotaur

[alpine topaz]

I thought anchor 2 was pretty hilly

Im not there yet

[loud fable]

Everything in this exp is trying to kill you

I had some close call. Climbing down the mountain with 1 hp left is scary

[alpine topaz]

I haven't gon into the derelict freighter

Felt like I don't have the weapon for it

Do I need a better weapon

[thick smelt]

OH! thanks guys, i figured it out

[gilded tiger]

I went it right at the start like after coming out of starter planet. I couldn't survive 20 seconds without needing heat

[steady idol]

Anyone know when to expect the patch for the expedition final claim?

[alpine topaz]

Ohh also I did walk into the wreck but my cold shields gradually dropped and I had to walk back after like a minute

[loud fable]

anyone already finished feel free to log back in and help out with community task. if you die after completing it won't reset

[gilded tiger]

There's heaters all around that you can activate and use to move forward

[alpine topaz]

Ahhh I see OK that's good to know

[gilded tiger]

I heard it's already in experimental build for pc or was is steam, I forget. Either way, should be soon

[gilded tiger]

You can find them through visor

[alpine topaz]

Thanks

[silver current]

9h, phase 4 complete, still not dead

[foggy cloak]

Yet

But the worst will come

So stock on ammo

[rose veldt]

You can complete without dieing

[foggy cloak]

You can't

[rose veldt]

Well yeah you can.. (the last one is not a death)

[foggy cloak]

But you need to die to progress the expedition

One of the first milestones is that you die

[novel cave]

the worst?

[rose veldt]

I thought he already got past that

[foggy cloak]

He did, but that's still a death

[rose veldt]

I was referring you can complete without dieing (without taking in discussions the first one which is required)

[silver current]

OMG I am at the anomaly... the prices to unlock are crazy, is that what it costs in PD?

[wraith venture]

No

[native bloom]

No, it's a special 10x multiplier

[wraith venture]

just this expo

[silver current]

ah ok

[wraith venture]

10x multiplier is...impressive

[silver current]

100 salv data for a mining thingy lol

[wraith venture]

@fringe agate at least they din't do 20x

[native bloom]

And I need refiners 😦 Just finished setting up a 10-ball curious deposit farm, but processing it all through the portable refiner is...inefficient

[rose veldt]

When I saw 5000 nanites for 1 S upgrade I thought it's a bug

[native bloom]

Crap, I didn't think of the multiplier on modules. I was going to buy shield upgrades with my nanites

Still possible, but just going to take even longer

[thick smelt]

OH SNAP! i just realized normal reasourses have a cap in a slot, well, hard mode INDEED

[silver current]

how do i make my solar ray radius smaller

[native bloom]

If it works like mining beam and terrain manipulator, R to make smaller on PC. Don't know console

So what's a good investment for nanites during the expedition?

[silk nebula]

has anybody gotten their frigate yet or no

[native bloom]

Yes, people have

[silk nebula]

i completed every phase but its saying i didnt

[native bloom]

Just wait for the game to update. There's a fix in experimental for that

It just has to go out to all the public releases then you'll be able to claim it

Just ignore that save until then

[silk nebula]

can i get it on my main?

[native bloom]

I believe so. It's a phase reward, isn't it?

[silk nebula]

its the last one

the big one you get after doing all the other ones

[native bloom]

Yeah, it should be available on all saves, once the patch comes out

[silk nebula]

any idea when that may be?

[native bloom]

early next week would be the guess, but it's just a guess

[gritty depot]

Bruh

I just got crystals then died

At least I closed the game

[silk nebula]

what phase?

[native bloom]

Glad you were able to close it quickly enough

[gritty depot]

3, calcified echoes

[silver current]

I bought lots of uranium and just landed near crystals with my ship all the time

[native bloom]

Usually people use the mech, but that works, too

[rose veldt]

You get for free the minotaur... Just use it when is a storm.. You don't even have to go out from it

[dense basin]

imo, most important investment was hot & cold hazard protection. One for a world you have no choice about, one for the freighter

[gritty depot]

The Minotaur is pretty slow

[native bloom]

Jetpacking is fast

[dense basin]

Not if you just jump

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[rose veldt]

Yes.. Jumping is fast and you go pretty far from just one jump

[wraith venture]

what for the freighter?

[native bloom]

At 10x the cost? Or does that not apply to modules?

[dense basin]

It does. And it was worth 10k to me

But even B class is worth it

[dense basin]

cold hazard protection to do the derelict freighter

[native bloom]

Ah, definitely not worth it to me. I never use anything other than X-class hazard protection. I hate having to charge them

[rose veldt]

@wraith venture can I get my role too please?

[wraith venture]

oooh got ya. ty

[dense basin]

doesn't bother me since it's x-click-click and done in under a second! But you have worlds more experience than I do

I like ignoring storms for minutes at a time

[native bloom]

Just a personal preference in gameplay. I like passive upgrades and hate active ones that require interaction

I feel like I'm paying to be able to have a nuisance

[dense basin]

Funny, I feel like I'm paying not to hear my exosuit yap at me about my hazard protection

Where our irritants lie, I suppose

[wraith venture]

x-class for that always better?

[native bloom]

Ahh, that's why I play with the sound off or with exosuit voice muted

[native bloom]

They are passive 1 to 10% bonus, so the mechanic is better, and they stack with normal hazprot

[dense basin]

Alas, for accessibility reasons I need the sound

I do kill the music though

[native bloom]

If you're on PC, you can use a mod to mute the exosuit voice and keep all the other sound, unless you need the exosuit. It also makes the game much more immersive

[gritty depot]

I just redid it in like 2 mins lol, it took me like 30 mins last time

[native bloom]

But getting OT 🙂

[dense basin]

For me the exosuit is part of the immersion

But also, I do need the sound.

[silver current]

so far i did 1 derelict in another expedition, then eventually one in my normal save, now i will have to do another one, wish me luck...

[dense basin]

Good luck!

[silver current]

scary stuff

[dense basin]

I hope you like them

I hope you like them a lot

[native bloom]

Just keep track of where heaters are and don't be afraid to flee back several rooms just to recover

[rose veldt]

Even if I completed the expedition..
Was curious what exactly you loose when you die?
Progress like you have to re-do all the milestones?

[native bloom]

It also has the bonus of despawning some mobs

[dense basin]

(or get hazard protection and don't worry about it)

[native bloom]

Yes

[silver current]

what should i get for haz protect, i have some nanites left i think

i wanted to unlock sacetterblaster as that is my main weapon but its locked haha

and need to know which resources to bring / buy so i can recharge my protection

[tacit seal]

Can you play the normal story after completing an expedition

[dense basin]

Yes, once they close the expedition

[alpine topaz]

It turns the game to survival difficulty after it closes doesn't it?

[dense basin]

Yep

[alpine topaz]

I ditched my C grade solar ship. So glad it had so little storage.

[dense basin]

I shot that bad boy into the sun and felt happy about it

[alpine topaz]

The phase boost is nice but there's plenty of trittim I don't find it as useful

[alpine topaz]

Hahhaha

[native bloom]

I'm resisting the urge to claim the Golden Vector or use a mod for a better ship

[warm token]

yeah I also didnt claim any exped rewards either

[gritty depot]

Rn I’m just stuck in a hole trying to get to anchor 4 lol

[silver current]

oh just crashed on the derelict... fml

if multiplayer is not enabled it pauses yeah?

[foggy cloak]

Yeah

[silver current]

th

ty

just did half the derelict then game crashed

tene

tense

[stray saddle]

are there storm crystals on the final anchor planet?

It has extreme storms but I can't seem to find any :/

[open burrow]

wow lots of people already finished expedition. I'm still at iteration 4 🥲

how the hell do people do it so fast XD

[foggy cloak]

Some know the ins and outs of the game, so we use some tricks to speed up the exp

[thorn thorn]

Props to this expedition for pushing me out of my shell to use tech upgrades and exocrafts I'd usually ignore

The minotaur slaps

[foggy cloak]

Minotaur is the best exocraft

No denying

[open burrow]

the storm crystal mission made me use an exocraft that I havent even touched

[thorn thorn]

Oh right I've still gotta find an extreme planet

That's actually a grand strat though, absolutely stealing it 👏 👏 🙏

[open burrow]

That's the only strat tho since you have literal seconds to survive

[foggy cloak]

Yeah, the minotaur is also good for Exploring extreme worlds

To find good things like mineral hotspots

[thorn thorn]

I usually just stack up on launch fuel and use my ship as a lifeline

My cargo used to just be filled with uranium

[open burrow]

You can also do that as usual. I just tend to be stingy with fuels

[stray saddle]

For the storm crystals do you have to collect them or as long as you get them do they count?

[open burrow]

I just collected them but I assume that just having them counts

[stray saddle]

damn just need to find a planet with them

[foggy cloak]

The Anchor 4 planet has storm crystals

[stray saddle]

really? I didn't see any during the storm

[foggy cloak]

Also Anchor 4 is a Cliffy Nightmare

[stray saddle]

Oh anchor 4 not final anchor

yeah I grabbed 3 on my way out but decided not to push my luck

is there any on the final anchor planet?

[meager stream]

Nope, iirc

[stray saddle]

:(

[dense basin]

I'd go find a different extreme weather planet that doesn't have aggressive sentinels

pin activated copper in your catalogue and the map will send you to one

[stray saddle]

I think there's a glitch cause it sent me to a system with no activated copper

[dusty pecan]

Planet Mapan VIII in the first checkpoint system has storm crystals too

[dense basin]

Did you have that set as your active mission?

You have to choose it in your log

[stray saddle]

yeah It sent me to a system with only copper planets

[jagged charm]

!whatsnew

[unkempt kraken]

Leviathan Expedition: https://www.nomanssky.com/2022/05/expedition-seven-leviathan/

[dense basin]

just to be 100% clear, this is what the bottom right of your screen looks like?

[stray saddle]

it says activated copper detected

[foggy cloak]

Then see if a planet has activated copper

[dense basin]

that means there's some in the system

[foggy cloak]

There are multiple, that may hide hide behind bigger ones

[stray saddle]

yeah I'm looking at the discoveries page

[dense basin]

check your discoveries window to see how many planets there are

[stray saddle]

yeah they're all copper

[dense basin]

land on the station and reload, then, because that shouldn't be possible

Your system is 100% explored?

[stray saddle]

it's the final anchor system lol

[dense basin]

Then you almost certainly didn't have the activated copper selected when you jumped

the map likes to do that sometimes

on pc you have to use the left and right arrows to swap between missions, and you'd need it to be "current mission" instead of expedition route

[kindred acorn]

errrr, wait, so there's no Grave Markers when we die? all the stuff is gone foreverR?

[dense basin]

I don't know what it is for consoles

[foggy cloak]

Forever and ever

[dense basin]

Everything is gone

[stray saddle]

I just reloaded, stopped the mission, and started it again and it said detected in your system L((((

[kindred acorn]

and deaths are required. what the chaos is this?!

[dense basin]

Death is required in the first phase, and then you can't die again

[kindred acorn]

So no point in stockpiling anything. have to store things on party members?

[foggy cloak]

Well its mandatory the first deatj to teach you how it goes

[dense basin]

If you die again, your progress is reset. It's permadeath

[foggy cloak]

No, stockpile, just be careful to not die again

[kindred acorn]

hmm, some message said something about 10%, figured you had to die 10 times

ah, I see now, you can recollect the phase milestone rewards.

[stray saddle]

I'm so close to finishing, just need to get the storm crystals and I'm done :(

[ashen shore]

Hello? How am I supposed to make a hermetic seal without a blueprint? >:(

[dense basin]

check milestone 4 - you die

[ashen shore]

OH

I need to die?

[foggy cloak]

No, its just the community progress

[foggy cloak]

Yes

[dense basin]

if you're 100% sure you selected activated copper, not copper, then I would suggest you jump out of the system a time or two, and try again

[ashen shore]

OH

[dense basin]

Can also just try random jumps. Extreme weather isn't that uncommon

[ashen shore]

I love this game

[dusty pecan]

Just take terminus back to the first checkpoint system one of the planets there has storm crystals with easy to navigate terrain

[silver current]

anchor 4 planet has them

[jagged charm]

most planets with activated metal have storm crystals

[dusty pecan]

anchor 4 planet is pain to navigate with the massive cliffs

[jagged charm]

they only pop out during storms

[dense basin]

anchor 4 planet also has aggressive sentinels and awful terrain. Who wants to deal with that when you're virtually done?

[silver current]

buy uranium and land starship next to them, is how i as a noob did it

[hasty dragon]

What’s the universal loop at?

[foggy cloak]

Its just a community event

[hasty dragon]

Ik, what is it at

The %

[dense basin]

or I could get them on another planet 🙂

[foggy cloak]

10% I think

[dense basin]

I know how to not torture myself, so I don't 😄

[open burrow]

Uuhhh how do I shut down a planet's sentinel forces? I remember in normal mode there was a tower I had to disable but forgot how to locate it

[clever orbit]

unit

[dusty pecan]

the kill 20 sentinels milestones gives you map to one as reward

[silver current]

do the thing to kill 20 sentinels you will get a map for the pillar as reward

[dense basin]

Or you can kill all 5 waves, up to you

both ways work

[open burrow]

Noice. thank you. Now, I just gotta build me some hideout caves before I start the massacre

[foggy cloak]

You either use a sentinel boundary map (you can get it as a reward in phase 4) or do all sentinel levels

[dusty pecan]

lots of people have built bases around them too so could just go to space station and looks for bases with "sentinel pillar" name

[open burrow]

aight Ill check out those bases first

[stray saddle]

welp the game keeps sending me to copper so I'm gonna sleep it off and try again tomorrow

Thanks for all the help

[dense basin]

Try the first system tomorrow 🙂

And don't worry about the pins

[willow geyser]

hell yea

[jagged charm]

well no upgrades

so yeey?

[willow geyser]

i can farm

nanites

[jagged charm]

6k per S class

[jagged charm]

XD

i farmed 25k Nanites to unlock my incinerator 😄

[willow geyser]

will take around 18 A-S scrapped ships

i got cadmium drive and emeril drive for free

:D

and not the thing

but the blueprint

[jagged charm]

lucky you

[willow geyser]

its jsut farming crashed ships

:P

[jagged charm]

i got 100M

so yeah

i could farm more

[willow geyser]

the fastest way to get nanites was to explore planets without underground species for me

the underground ones are tedious to find

also the rare underwater

[foggy cloak]

Or sell upgrades

[willow geyser]

max they can give is 500

and thats the S ones

[foggy cloak]

Since the huge markup is backwards compatible

[willow geyser]

but u get like 2k on species

[foggy cloak]

Yeah, in normal, but in this expedition, 3 sentinel upgrades gave me 1.5k nanites

[willow geyser]

oh?

[foggy cloak]

But they aren't worth that much in normal

[willow geyser]

didnt notive that

i did sell a few but didnt see how much tehy were worth

[foggy cloak]

Not many did, but now you also know

[willow geyser]

welp here i go killing again

XD

is it only me or when i increase the music volume it doesnt even change

[north mortar]

I keep dying to fall damage x3

I usually see my shield as another resource tbh, and use it to determine how risky I can be

[ashen shore]

I did all the phases but final phase is showing 0/5 completed

cant claim the levithan

[alpine topaz]

How do u find nanites on planets with no underground species?

[jagged charm]

high risk screenshot :d

[willow geyser]

u scan teh creatures

and then u go to discoveries to fauna and if u scanned every creature u get a reward

[alpine topaz]

Ah yeah that works too, good idea

Another point.. I'd mention.. U cannot pause the game by pressing ESC..

Not everything pauses.. Like It does not stop the damage if u are in a hazard environment

[jagged charm]

turn off MP

[open burrow]

Hmmm I think im just dumb but I cannot find the grave at interation four. It points me inside a mountain base that I cannot use terrain manipulator on

[jagged charm]

use your scanner

it should show a grave in your visor

then mark it

[open burrow]

yep just derped kept using analysis and was wondering why it wont show up lol

[jagged charm]

ok imma no check the auto feeder / collector

and see if it farms that ancestral stuff

[fringe agate]

Lol

[jagged charm]

on a side not twitch rewards/ exp rewards are so cheaty during this exp

30+ slot hauler

boom

[fringe agate]

I suggested we not be able to claim twitch and other expedition rewards in these saves, until they convert.

Yw

[jagged charm]

true

i did the exp without them

after i finished i went ham tho

[inner oasis]

same

[inner oasis]

same to this too

[jagged charm]

currently trying to see if automatic feeder/colelctor will collect ancestral dust

[inner oasis]

also loaded experimental, claimedf the frigate and the loaded back into main branch

And I gotta say its cool and has good stats

but some people gonna be dissapointed

KEKW

[fringe agate]

Too bad, it's a neat cosmetic, like all expedition rewards

[jagged charm]

should've been a freighter tbh

not a friagte XD

maybe next exp

[fringe agate]

That would be gameplay changing

[jagged charm]

who knows

[inner oasis]

Havent we got a freighhter in exp 3?

[fringe agate]

Those won't get locked as a reward

[inner oasis]

I dont see the problem XD

[jagged charm]

friagte

[fringe agate]

No

[inner oasis]

oh was it another frigate?

[fringe agate]

2 had a frigate as well

[inner oasis]

Ahhh

mb

But it has good stats at least :)

[jagged charm]

so did the normandy

btw if you die

you can claim normandy again

[fringe agate]

Wait

[jagged charm]

i got 2 normandies now XD

[fringe agate]

Really?

[jagged charm]

think so

[fringe agate]

I deleted mine in one of my saves

[jagged charm]

gimme sec

ill doible check

[inner oasis]

man I want to do exp 1-5 ;/

actually mostly only 1 and 2

[kindred acorn]

damn stealthy animals while I'm in the menus

that better not have saved

[jagged charm]

im happy HG finally did a diff game mode this time

[unkempt plaza]

im rly sad my pc was broken when the freighter expedition was a thing and it got fixed like a month after it ended lol

[inner oasis]

if you afk sit in your ship/exocraft ALWAYS in this exp

[inner oasis]

it was A LOT of fun

[kindred acorn]

This is why I never bothered with anything but Normal saves.

[unkempt plaza]

i agree

[jagged charm]

IS

still playing 😄

[inner oasis]

ok good point started a second run on this exp... So still IS XD

[unkempt plaza]

im waiting till they patch the final reward after that ill be claiming it and helping with the community milestones lol

but for now i dont rly wanna accidently die and have todo it all over again lol

[inner oasis]

if you want to be "risky" you can technically load experimental > claim> load backup in main branch> and claim in main branch

[wraith badge]

they've already repeated the first lot of expeditions once ... just wait for the Switch release and they may repeat them again for a new loads of players

[inner oasis]

👍

[unkempt plaza]

i'd rather wait for it to be in main branch incase smth fucks up LOL

[kindred acorn]

.... and progress lost again. just got 500 of the liquid sun. that's it for tonight. So aggrievating. I was in a menu dammit!

[inner oasis]

I just did a backup of all saves and then did it

but ye dont blame you for waiting

[alpine topaz]

Hey guys what do u do with relics? Like gek or korvax casings

I never used them.. But they taking up space

[inner oasis]

give them to korvax, geks for good rep

[unkempt plaza]

ye i got backups haswell altho im always scared ill fuck something up when putting the backups into the reg save spot to overwrite it 😂

[cobalt shore]

Also first step in and then step out to manually save.

[inner oasis]

yall cheesing it with saves XD?

[unkempt plaza]

im not lol

[cobalt shore]

Gift them to Gek and Korvax to increase your standing.

[unkempt plaza]

only died 2x (one time was the one where you had too)

the other time was where a biological horror decides to glitch inside with me in the building

[inner oasis]

fir4st thing i did was jump down a mountain XD

[jagged charm]

scrap that i really thought i claimed it againa fter i died

[willow geyser]

weeeeee

[unkempt plaza]

same XDD

[jagged charm]

should check in a separate save

[fringe agate]

All good

[cobalt shore]

I want to do 1-3 because I missed those (I wasn’t playing NMS yet).

[north mortar]

the sail ships look epic

I like my exotics more though tbh

[cobalt shore]

Or I should wait until another event where I can get the exp 1-3 rewards.

[fringe agate]

I like both, I'm glad they upped the ship count

[inner oasis]

Oh guys btw, off tpoic, but anyays, do I need to go back to first galaxy to get my living ship?

[fringe agate]

Yes

[inner oasis]

caus Im in the eighth KEKW

Exp 6

[fringe agate]

Exp 6 is in the 89th and 90th

[inner oasis]

oh

yeye

still how do I get to the first?

[fringe agate]

Check the anomaly teleporter with multiplayer on, should be a base there you can use

[cobalt shore]

Featured base in the Anomaly or an uber from a friend.

[jagged charm]

you know you can just activate all the maps tho

that will pop all the scan events

[unkempt plaza]

i dont think im allowed to send links but you could also go to the pangalactics starcabs discord

[indigo falcon]

even with it off the featured bases are still visible

[jagged charm]

great way to farm crash ships 😉

[fringe agate]

We have a command for it

!starcablink

[unkempt kraken]

https://discord.gg/WgUdnbZJjh

[unkempt plaza]

ah i c

[jagged charm]

keep spamming the map actiavtion

only 6 scan events

or 5

so if you got all of the events 1 of them will be crashed freighter

2 distress (1 crashed ship other is lifeform)~

and 1-2 other misc event i never check XD

[kindred acorn]

oh, snap, the Expedition Milestones do NOT save between deaths. rats, I thought that was some sort of progress advancement. How do you manually back up saves again? 😉

[jagged charm]

or just dont die XD

[ashen shore]

More twitch drops hopefully

[kindred acorn]

I'm a filthy casual chill NMS player, I cannot avoid animal oneshots without a dedicated bait key 🙂

[fringe agate]

Lol

[cobalt shore]

Last time I wasn’t really feeling like it lmao

[foggy cloak]

Bro, just run or kill them, kill or be killed is the motto aroubd these parts

[ashen shore]

I just left a stream open on my phone and played other games lmao

Think I played bf5 at the time but only got the last day which sucks

[cobalt shore]

It also depends if I have time. This is hard to do when you are at work lol

[ashen shore]

True

[jagged charm]

!power 83

[unkempt kraken]

@jagged charm For a power consumption of 83 kPs you will require:

**4 ** Solar Panels
**2 ** Batteries
{Online calculator}

[jagged charm]

aww livestock unit doesnt collect ancestral stuff

sad :/

[unkempt plaza]

p sure a planet on anchor 2 also has a infested planet lol

[cobalt shore]

If you need to snatch whispering eggs you can buy a bunch of emergency maps from a cartographer which and one of them might lead you to an abandoned building.

[inner oasis]

Im pretty sure those also exist on the third anchor planet? (the cold one)

[cobalt shore]

Yes

Don’t work hard. Work smart 🙃

[inner oasis]

🧠

[foggy cloak]

Don't work smart, just Don't work

And use money

[unkempt plaza]

i found it pretty funny how the starter freighter in the expedition (atleast mine) doesnt have the hyper drive engine at all

like

the base 1 you put the warp cores in 😂

[cobalt shore]

I mean Imaging trying to run from biohorrors with your crappy jetpack in a permadeath save lol

[fringe agate]

Run?

[cobalt shore]

Fly

Fly and run

[fringe agate]

Just go inside silly

[north mortar]

"work smarter not harder"

bish for minimal wage Im doing neither

[cobalt shore]

But mostly run because your jetpack sucks

I do that with extreme wind events and thunderstorms

Don’t want to risk having to start all over when I die

Good advice!

However, creatures can glitch

[unkempt plaza]

i just summoned my ship right next to the resonator spot and claimed it and jumped into the ship and took of

i did get pretty lucky after my first and only not needed death lol

[jagged charm]

i uploaded this base

animal farm

[cobalt shore]

This is a classic Minecraft method haha.

[unkempt plaza]

i got the launch thruster recharger like before anchor point 2 lol

[jagged charm]

decent way to farm

[unkempt plaza]

so i got hella lucky

[remote pine]

how soon and what exp milestones restore after you die?

[unkempt plaza]

none

restore

apart of a couple

like the death 1

and i think some base ones(?)

[remote pine]

but you have to die to start next iterations?

[unkempt plaza]

nope

you dont need anymore deaths apart of the first mission 1

[cobalt shore]

How do you carry such big stacks in your general exosuit inventory when on a permadeath expedition?

[remote pine]

oh. Well, I guess I must try not to die then

[jagged charm]

mods

[north mortar]

^

[jagged charm]

im already done

[merry gazelle]

Use the save point they give you and save periodically

[remote pine]

isn't it like cheating 👀

[jagged charm]

did the exp with normal stacks

[remote pine]

I do, but if I die it won't help

[cobalt shore]

Well once you are used to the smaller stacks it’s fine.

[jagged charm]

did the full exp with vanilla stacks

[merry gazelle]

You can't use the manual save file?

[remote pine]

no, it's erased after death

[north mortar]

yeah

[unkempt plaza]

dont think so bcuz when i died from the horrors my manual save file got deleted haswell

[merry gazelle]

ah

[jagged charm]

only when im done i my full mod list 😄

[north mortar]

your outfit saves funnily enough

[merry gazelle]

Well the other option is if you know your gonna die quit the game and open it again

[kindred acorn]

when you die, it yeeets both auto and manual saves.

much to my chagrin

[north mortar]

I have the exotic wingpack from the last exp

[kindred acorn]

yeah, alt F4 is your friend if you don't get oneshot 😉

[cobalt shore]

I really had to get used to permadeath at first but now I’m used to it. Just make sure you don’t jetpack too high, always have your ship near you as a portable storage container and invest a lot in cargo space.

[remote pine]

guess i backup them then .-.

[north mortar]

tbh the capes look really cool

[kindred acorn]

that's what I'm doing, every significant step

cause I'm a Filthy Casual 😉

[merry gazelle]

In way it feels like a normal mode just with restrictions and increased dmg taken

[cobalt shore]

Yup

[north mortar]

the increased damage taken hurts my soul because I like using my shield as a way assess risk

and in this mode your shield basically doesnt exist

[jagged charm]

what the exp coords command?

[fringe agate]

They are pinned

Here

[jagged charm]

should've known

[north mortar]

tbh I would like to play through this expedition with someone

[jagged charm]

allmost T2

[alpine topaz]

Heh guys., how do I use the memory resonator to find the lost survivor guy

It keeps saying look strength too low

Then it tells me a. Planet name.. But no direction

[merry gazelle]

Your not in space are you?

You have to be on the anchor point's planet to get the location

[alpine topaz]

I'll try find the anchor point

[wraith badge]

check the pins there's a list @alpine topaz

[alpine topaz]

Thanks I'll have a look

I'm going to anchor 3. I can't find the first 2 that I already visited lol

[willow geyser]

well.. that almost fkd me up

[alpine topaz]

Wtf hahha

What design lmao

[ashen shore]

80 salvaged data for a solar panel lol

i need 1 vault 1 solar panel and 1 batterie to do my entire expedition it's over 150 data lmao

[jagged charm]

you dont actually need those things tbh

[dusty pecan]

This is why nomad is better on those planets it can actually go up those cliffs no problem

[jagged charm]

mino has no issues for that either

[dusty pecan]

All the storage vaults are allready unlocked for your freighter by default

[fringe agate]

Pets will too

[remote thunder]

the freighter storage rooms are, not the storage containers

just to clear that up

[jagged charm]

well shit

[foggy cloak]

How?

[jagged charm]

doing derelict runs in exp

polo will give you extra beacons when you give hime 100 dust

[foggy cloak]

Huh, interesting

[dusty pecan]

yeah and you can easily get 1000+ dust per freighter

[jagged charm]

^that

again fyi people

farm on that planet

has an automatic feeder

and no aggressive animals

[remote thunder]

i guess someone else managed to farm the data faster than i could

[jagged charm]

you know

[remote thunder]

yes

i do

[jagged charm]

that little heart behidn my name

[remote thunder]

😉

[jagged charm]

might give me an edge

[remote thunder]

jk jk

[reef grove]

I finished the expedition, but it won't let me complete the final turn-in

[remote thunder]

wait for the next public patch

[reef grove]

Known issue then?

[remote thunder]

and already fixed on steam experimental

[north mortar]

fun times

[reef grove]

Sounds good then. Thanks.

[north mortar]

"hey you completed this expedition but you didnt actually complete this expedition"

I want to complete this one fully just because the name sounds awesome and Im actually interested in the completion item

[remote thunder]

plenty of time left, and fix is incoming, no need to worry about it at all

[north mortar]

I've done previous expeditions but didnt bother completing them because I only wanted a few things out of them

[willow geyser]

erm i cant see anything?

[remote thunder]

looks like incoming fleet? what am i supposed to be looking at, sorry?

[nova scaffold]

ok i just died - i loaded a save - thinking it was the last save when i exited my ship.

but the game just reloaded my first save and i lost like 6hrs worth of effort.

oh man

[north mortar]

its permadeath

[nova scaffold]

oh it's permadeath?

[north mortar]

yeah

[willow geyser]

teh trailer is too bright

and big

[nova scaffold]

then that means all my previous tasks have reset? 😦

[willow geyser]

i cant see my ship

:/

[north mortar]

basically

[nova scaffold]

so have to re-attempt all the tasks again?!

good grief

[ashen shore]

yes

[remote thunder]

ah the trail - well, i guess the only ones who can tone it down for everybody are the devs

[north mortar]

Im looking for a friend to do this expedition with

[nova scaffold]

this is silly.

wasted like half a day's effort

[north mortar]

eh

[remote thunder]

try not to die

[jagged charm]

well

die once

[nova scaffold]

well i didn't know it was perma death

[jagged charm]

you gotta die once

[nova scaffold]

yeah i died once already in my previous game.

[jagged charm]

you can still restart that same save tho

[nova scaffold]

i accidentally died again because of i fell from a height

[native bloom]

I love when the target sweep is too weak to track, even though you're standing right on top of the approximate location

[remote thunder]

that's how you learn how to leave a little bit of jetpack fuel in your tanks at all times

[north mortar]

I feel this will just be infinitely easier with multiple people doing it together

especially since I am relatively new to the game and only have a basic understanding of most things

[nova scaffold]

how do i restart the save? will i still lose all my tasks?

[remote thunder]

when you die, everything except a few milestones will reset - you come back stronger, just use all those memory fragments

[nova scaffold]

i lost all my milestones.

[remote thunder]

the base one won't for example.

[surreal wraith]

how do i increase cycle level ?

[north mortar]

I feel that, which is why I often just go to the structure nearest to the coordinate instead of the coordinate itself

[remote thunder]

it's a community wide thing

[surreal wraith]

ah

[remote thunder]

keep giving polo stuff

contribute to the universal loop research

[willow geyser]

will we be able to make it ?

[surreal wraith]

so, to get the cycle observed objective i gotta turn in stuff to polo so it levels up ?

[nova scaffold]

does perma death also mean i lost the expedition reward for first tier? because i unlocked that at least.

some banners

[remote thunder]

you can never complete it on your own

[remote thunder]

no; when it's unlocked, it's unlocked account wide, immediately

[surreal wraith]

ok

[nova scaffold]

so i have to regrind Phase 1 again

crud

awful waste of time

[willow geyser]

well thats awfully much

was it your first time?

[north mortar]

I keep going splat because Im too used to the shield on normal

[willow geyser]

ye.. i learned that hard at the start

[north mortar]

Im broke

[willow geyser]

XD

died unintentionally on the first death

basically jumped a bit too much and broke my neck

XD

ow u can use the trail when u pulse drive

u press w and it activates it

didnt know that could be done

[remote thunder]

afaik, the trail is supposed to be on at all times?

[north mortar]

yeah

[remote thunder]

pulsing or not

[native bloom]

Anyone know what to do with Phase 4 Another Chance? It says to construct the memory resonator, which I did back in Phase 1. I tried using it, but it didn't do anything

[cosmic ingot]

just in case anyone missed it - https://twitter.com/cyberpunk2350/status/1530232566997045249?t=S1ckUVn4yo2cjGXZ09e9Jg&s=19

cyberpunk2350 (@cyberpunk2350)

Want to know how the Optional Milestones are Completed. After digging in the deep dark hidden places the game keeps this info. Here is what I found:
Loop Tiers require 400K, 720K, 1.3M & 3.3M Total Submissions to Polo or QS Missions to complete, and you can do up to 20 per day.

Twitter · May 27, 2022, 5:00 PM

[remote thunder]

interesting to know i guess

[native bloom]

I wonder where that is coming from

[ashen shore]

Has anyone been able to colllect the final reward?

[native bloom]

Yes, some have

[inner oasis]

only through experimental

[wraith badge]

its fixed in the next update

[mighty oriole]

I'm honestly undecided about this expedition, because I want the reward but the expedition itself isn't my cup of tea and I'm not a fan of permadeath

[ashen shore]

Oh okay thank you. I thought it was already fixed.

[jagged charm]

what do they mean by 20?

20 times 100 dust?

[native bloom]

Yes

[inner oasis]

20 commisions every day

[jagged charm]

lel

so im basically doen

XD

8 more %

for T2

[native bloom]

hehehe, just found the setting in the save file that controls what happens when you die. Could change it so you don't reset

[jagged charm]

well i think if you find that X10

and bring it backt o normal

[native bloom]

Yeah, the x10 Pixy found earlier

[jagged charm]

would beat the point of the exp expierience tho

[native bloom]

Yeah, I'm slavishly trying to finish vanilla. It's always so tempting to get expedition rewards or save edit

[jagged charm]

i did

after that i went full mod mod XD

got 50k stacks now :3

[remote thunder]

honestly, i went through almost as if it was a regular game mode

[jagged charm]

well im used to survival

so wasnt really bothered

[remote thunder]

indeed

[native bloom]

Other than a couple of lock ups and Phase 5 Another Chance not making sense, it's been pretty normal

[inner oasis]

if you get some decent upgrades for the exosuit in the beginning you can chill pretty hard the rest

[jagged charm]

ofc the peeps that play normal only

XD

[jagged charm]

nope didnt have that

XD

[remote thunder]

what's wrong with Another Chance, Gumsk?

[inner oasis]

🤷‍♂️ Idk, got my 30% core health and shild upgrade and was chilling the rest of the exp

[native bloom]

It says "construct the Memory Resonator", which I did in Phase 1. I made another one to try to complete it, and tried to use it in case the text was wrong. Nothing advances it

[remote thunder]

tried switching milestones around back and forth?

[native bloom]

Yeah

[inner oasis]

You reach anchor po9int, use the memoy resonator

[alpine topaz]

Hey UK, where are the pins list?

[native bloom]

Did that

[remote thunder]

i used the same resonator from phase 1 to phase 5

not sure what's going on there

[native bloom]

I'm saved at the anchor point

[inner oasis]

^ exaclty

[native bloom]

Decided to give up for the night

[inner oasis]

you are only supposed to craft one

[alpine topaz]

Do u mean on the discoveries tab?

[remote thunder]

no, he means here, on discord

[inner oasis]

caus it chnages from "craft one" to "use the memory resonator to find the loop hotspot" at each anchor point

[remote thunder]

mobile? swipe left while in a channel

[wraith badge]

if using the Windows Application it's the 2nd icon from the right

but just in case you still cannot find them #nms-expedition message

[alpine topaz]

Thanks very much!

[stoic dagger]

I'm a bit confused, do your milestones stay or not between loops? Because I did the first death for that milestone after I had done some others and when I loaded back in I didn't have to redo those, but based on other people's comments that shouldn't have been the case.

[native bloom]

Not

I've heard someone else say that some milestones stayed, but that's not supposed to be the case. It's possible it's a problem with the first death

[stoic dagger]

Yeah literally all of mine stayed and I had done all the first loop except the death and the anchor point

[native bloom]

Yeah, I don't know exactly. It seems most people have all progress reset on teh first death, but some have milestones stay

[alpine topaz]

I can't believe we need to log everything like this.. I've lost track of the anchor point 2 which is the alapecea planet for the fallen survivor

[wraith badge]

easy ... go to a Station, any station, use the Teleporter and select the station from the list that matches the location you want to return to ... you did visit the stations in all the systems you jumped in to didn't you?

[umbral forum]

I wished the phases mentioned the target system you need to reach. Sometimes I want to return to them but I don't remember the name.

[remote thunder]

look at the galaxy map, all anchors are within a 2k LY distance

@umbral forum visited systems will have a circle around them

we also got this

Pinned here also

[remote thunder]

mb, sorry, can delete if you want

<#nms-expedition message>

[native bloom]

And you get portal glyphs as one of the rewards

Hmm, and all the anchor points are portals. I wonder if we're supposed to be able to figure out the address somehow and just jump from one to the next?

[remote thunder]

if we had something like... 😉

[native bloom]

Figured out Another Chance. You have to turn in Anchor Point 5 reward before you can use the memory resonator for Another Chance

Obviously it doesn't say that, but there you go

[jagged charm]

kinda thinking

if someone gives you that part to repair your ship could you jsut die at the end and be done?

[fringe agate]

Lol

Test it, let us know

My guess is no

[jagged charm]

depends if stage 1 reward is mission critical

[remote thunder]

thanks - i probably did claim all anchor rewards before activating the 2nd milestone of each phase

Hmm, and all the anchor points are portals.
also, just thought this was funny (this is anchor 3, and there should be a portal here, yes)

😄

[summer oyster]

Has it not load in yet?

[remote thunder]

was not a matter of time, no

[mint moon]

I looked at the name and went through discovered systems to see which had the planet I needed

[umbral forum]

I mean, I've already finished the expedition, but I remember some other expedition I couldn't remember which system to return to because I was warping randomly trying to find tall eggs.

[remote thunder]

that would be exobiology

[unkempt kraken]

Exp5 Milestone Tips:

Locations to obtain cooking ingredients for Best-Laid Plans and Wild Dairy

▪️ Itrunn VII, Catickl G25: tall eggs, fresh milk, wild milk
▪️ Yubinka-Ago XIV, Joycer: creature egg, fresh milk, wild milk, warm proto-milk
▪️ Yubinka-Ago XIV, Tifiell Major: creature egg, fresh milk, wild milk, warm proto-milk
▪️ Xandrov VIII, New Muleighle: giant egg, creature egg, wild milk
▪️ near Xandrov VIII, Obluch II: craw-milk
▪️ Loemfor, Gijyotapor Akyus: fresh milk, wild milk, warm proto-milk

Note: You can throw a pellet on the ground through your on foot quick menu, close to a group of animals to feed them all.

[remote thunder]

😉

[alpine topaz]

Yeah that's Def the best idea., I'll be doing that one thanks. Just use the teleporters

[alpine topaz]

True they need better design there. Ppl gotto use their own Craig notes 😁

[umbral forum]

Can't even imagine a new player who ends up getting warped from a Nexus mission and starts drifting away from the expedition cluster.

[jagged charm]

that too if you got glyphs

[wind pebble]

Can anyone help me get 10 whispering eggs

[radiant venture]

is the reward fixed now?

[umbral forum]

Find an abandoned building, open an egg, collect larval core, hide in the building, wait for the spawn to subside, repeat.

Alternatively, if you are more experienced, open egg, pick larval core, run around in circles around the building while the spawns follow you. Since a spawn event is already happening any further eggs you open won't trigger more events.

They are slower than you and you can mine the eggs as long as you put some distance between you and them.

[autumn plume]

cant believe how much the pirate loot is nerfed due to sales lol

[hardy inlet]

question:　i would like to find bettet ship, just started the expedition, can i just roam around and look for crash site? in the previous exp i found a lot of ships, but this time seems i am unlucky!　:3

[umbral forum]

Exchange navigation data for crash site maps.

Do remember that you need to repair the broken stuff in the crashed ships tho and that may cost some time and resources.

[remote thunder]

i wouldn't bother - just use the fragments obtained from milestones to upgrade your existing ship

it should be more than enough to complete the expedition

[autumn plume]

Not yet

[remote thunder]

and would leave "buy new ship" as a after finish goal

[umbral forum]

Starting ship is more than enough for the expedition. It also comes with built-in thrust launcher recharging, so it may be a life safer if you find yourself stranded without launch fuel.

[vagrant remnant]

surprised they didn't try to push out the reward fix before the weekend

[autumn plume]

Totally did all with the same ship no pob 🙂

[remote thunder]

though crafting launch fuel is always an option

[autumn plume]

uranium too

[remote thunder]

work probably continued into the weekend

[hasty dragon]

And once again I fail the expedition

[umbral forum]

New players are probably too busy barely surviving by using the hydrogen for gel to make life support packs.

[vagrant remnant]

oh yeah, no doubt they've been working their socks off for it. feels like a hotfix job though, should've got that sorted asap 😅

[remote thunder]

i'd also suggest new players to consider farming some bones or salvaged data on starter planet to sell to buy gel/batteries

[autumn plume]

i had to restart fresh cause it didnt work at all for me the first time 😦

[umbral forum]

Killing animals and selling meat is more than enough for a few dozens of batteries and support gel.

[remote thunder]

memory resonator milestones are always done in the same planet as the phase anchor, but be sure to claim the anchor milestone reward before switching to the correspondent resonator milestone

[vagrant remnant]

i've almost discovered one of every hazard type in a or s class on the beginning world. might put a small guide together and try to minimise launch fuel usage to get them all

[umbral forum]

I still find it rather puzzling how the ship launch fuel from trade terminals is so obscenely expensive compared to ion batteries and life support packs.

Like 10x more expensive.

[remote thunder]

with that in mind, i just prefer using plants to recharge hazard prot/life support and meat to recharge hp

[remote thunder]

early on, first stop on stations is looking for uranium/pyrite/tritium - then buy some, push it to ship inv 😄

[remote thunder]

where did you get them from?

most planet side drops are rng based

[umbral forum]

I didn't even mine for tritium in this expedition because I get enough hyperclusters to keep my ship going.

The Korvax like to give them as gifts.

Korvax NPC farming was quite useful for this expedition since buying module upgrades was too expensive in nanites.

[vagrant remnant]

damaged machines. if i remember rightly, these drops should be the same if other players head to the same spot, but i last played mp years ago, so what exactly counts as giving the same drops may differ to what i remember

I know freighter cargo pods definitely work this way, and buried caches did for some time at least

[remote thunder]

not afaik, those are precisely the kind of drop sources that are rng

cargo pods, might, in a multiplayer session

[vagrant remnant]

surely not, i didn't just waste all this time now did i 😅

[remote thunder]

but!

it's an interesting idea - by all means, prove me wrong

should not be hard to test

🙂

[vagrant remnant]

hm, i'll see what i can do. guess i'm using another save to test-!

[remote thunder]

otoh, @vagrant remnant , keep this in mind: most players don't like to travel by lat/long coords, which no doubt would be a part of this

[ashen shore]

oh i didn know okay!

but it's permadeath right?

[umbral forum]

Yes.

[dusty pecan]

yeah stuff you have stored in them will reset

but the room do stay built so you don't have to rebuild them after dead

[ashen shore]

that's why i need to restart 5 milestones 🤣

[dusty pecan]

same if you build a teleporter on the freighter

[ashen shore]

thx for info 🙂

[ashen shore]

oh god

[umbral forum]

Any sent frigates on missions also remain as if nothign happened.

[ashen shore]

stack size is different too

[autumn plume]

250 exo 500 ship 1000 ship cargo

[vagrant remnant]

yeah this ain't gonna be a one size fits all, unfortunately. my hope is, if i am right, this can help those who keep dying to preventable causes, or those who are uncomfortable starting naked in survival mode

most players shouldn't need to skip straight to high level techs, but for those who do, it might help a lot

they'll just have to work for it 🙃

[remote thunder]

as exp goes on, it will get easier

[umbral forum]

Once the player is experienced, there are so many ways to cheese the game.

[vagrant remnant]

oh yeah, definitely! kind of jealous of future players getting good memory fragments

[remote thunder]

i like that HG did this actually - as it gets closer to the end, less time to finish, here, we want you to finish

[umbral forum]

Good thing we can AFK farm somal dust.

[remote thunder]

i'm gonna go livestock unit

[dusty pecan]

one thing to note is the technology and weaponry packages from pirate system smuggler vendor are normal priced

they are great for getting good upgrades

got 2x 270 LY hyperdrive upgrades myself from 20 packages 🙂

[remote thunder]

if you don't have an outlaw system though, you will need an eco scanner, or might struggle to find one at random

[umbral forum]

I was dumb and sold my reward walker brain.

[remote thunder]

in the cases where the first system on the path line is in fact a relevant system for a milestone, this isn't always true, and other players might see a different path line

[remote thunder]

i ended up not needing it - but i was definitely able to afford eco scanner at the time

[umbral forum]

Oh right, the economy scanner works for that too. I ended up buying the conflict one.

[remote thunder]

i admit i see conflict data as very much optional, most of the times i never install it

[umbral forum]

Since I didn't have the walker brain to install it, I just got the coordinates from this channel. I found an outlaw system on my first iteration anyway, so it's not like I didn't know there was one very close to the starting star system.

[remote thunder]

(though after Outlaws that has changed a bit, mainly because i like a different gameplay style, less combat)

[jagged charm]

the hallway of glory

[umbral forum]

I didn't do the first and second one. Still waiting for a re-redux event.

I think I'll make a somal dust farming guide video.

[jagged charm]

i want thos so much

[umbral forum]

lol 50 pieces

[jagged charm]

so... just do a freighte

nothing hard

think farming animals is faster

but boring

[alpine topaz]

This is a joke

[umbral forum]

I doubt.

[alpine topaz]

anchor point 2

finding the fallen survivor

im literly on the biggest cliff mountain in the game

and the hourglass is inside the mountain

[jagged charm]

hourglas is approx location

[umbral forum]

So you think it should be the ascended survivor? lol

[jagged charm]

doesnt mean it IS the location

[umbral forum]

Since it's on a tall mountain.

[native bloom]

The hourglass is usually the approximate location, not the actual location

A yellow diamond is the actual location

[alpine topaz]

i cant post pictures

[umbral forum]

Don't forget to use the scanner.

[alpine topaz]

but im digging in an amost verticle cliff

[umbral forum]

And grab a pet to safely ride cliffs if you can. Fall damage is pretty unforgiving.

[native bloom]

There is no digging required for any of them

There are a couple on little outcroppings on the sides of cliffs, but not inside the cliffs

[alpine topaz]

it says loop memory hotspot

[native bloom]

Did you use the scanner to find the actual location?

Not just the icon the quest shows

I've got 5 milestones left, mostly just mop-up. The only dangerous one is the 10 eggs milestone. Going to call it a night and finish the rest tomorrow

[alpine topaz]

yeah! but it was leading me through a vertical mounting

mountain, omg

i found it but i dug up from underneath the mount. it wass outside

[native bloom]

Glad you found it, at least!

[summer oyster]

Definitely take careful precautions around that milestone.

[native bloom]

Yeah, purposefully saving it until the end. Going to backup my save, get any shield/health mods I can, and be extra careful

[alpine topaz]

how do i post pictures on this discord?

[native bloom]

10 seems like a lot. Seems they should have flipped it to 10 storm crystals and 5 eggs

You need to be level 5. Until then, use #nms-photomode-gallery

[alpine topaz]

haha i see okay im not there yet

[remote thunder]

@native bloom suggestion: building a base comp and walls around the eggs works fairly well. do have a shield mod or two, just in case horrors manage to glitch you.

[surreal wraith]

whats the portal sequence to the 3rd anchor point ?

[thorn thorn]

Anyone have the name of the third anchor point galaxy? I've missed a memory and can't get a mission marker up

[thorn thorn]

Cheers

[fringe agate]

They are pinned here also

[abstract bloom]

I think I have been doing this wrong. I have been ignoring the loops and just doing the expedition missions. I also have been trying to upgrade the traditional way. This one is FUN but can't play it like I normally play them

I may have to die and start over though if I have any change on a derelict freighter

[wind pebble]

I died

[teal valley]

Are there any pirate systems along the expedition route?

[willow geyser]

why did i find this expedition to be less fun than the last one?

[native bloom]

Not direct stops. I just finished the route and didn't hit any

[native bloom]

The freighter in the last system isn't that hard. Just be willing to backup and recover a few times

[abstract bloom]

back up my save and then I can reload it?

[native bloom]

I mean physically back up into old rooms to recover, not backup the save. Sorry

[abstract bloom]

oohh yeah okay

[thorn thorn]

This expedition has made me realise how much I love the idea of rougelikes

[abstract bloom]

oh yeah I do that anyway. I typically don't die on freighters. My only issue is if I don't have really good upgrades they take SO LONG since I kill everything while hiding near a heater.

Since you really can't upgrade weapons unless the game lets you I am not sure how this is going to go

[native bloom]

Yes, exactly the behavior to use on this one. It's not too hard, though, just some automated defense systems

[abstract bloom]

oh it doesn't have those creatures that hatch all over the place? Those are the things that take me a while to navigate

[native bloom]

I just used the three c-class pulse spitter upgrades I got from the expedition and did ok.

[abstract bloom]

Oh nice thanks makes me feel much better

[nova jay]

I died on a pirate raid ahhhhhh!!!!
I was mining with a minotaur nearby and it was just a flash. It was a moment I had no chance to do....... 🪦

This empty feeling is very ...... good.

[thorn thorn]

👏 👏

[teal valley]

I've completed phases 1 2 and 3, if I was to die now and have to start over I'd quit this expedition

Would be done with 4 but can't find a pirate system

[cosmic ingot]

yeah, this expedition is a test of how hardcore you are

[topaz mirage]

Do you have to only die once?

[umbral forum]

So I've created a video guide to farm somal dust. Is this the place to post this kind of stuff? Since it's related to the expedition.

[remote thunder]

there's one close to the starter system, 86 LY out, a gek system

[teal valley]

@topaz mirage that I know of

[remote thunder]

correct

[umbral forum]

Last anchor planet has storm crystals if I remember it correctly.

[remote thunder]

anchor 4 planet

[ashen shore]

System with Anchor Point 1 has a planet with Storm Crystals

[remote thunder]

oh

anchor 1?

how did i miss that?

[ashen shore]

I think so, toxic planet

[remote thunder]

iirc, none had activated copper so i moved on?

[ashen shore]

Im just at Anchor 1 and already picked the Storm Crystals

[teal valley]

The portal has bases marked storm crystals

[umbral forum]

I got mine from some anchor planet with firestorms.

[ashen shore]

I'll jump in and double check

[teal valley]

I use the portal bases for a lot of these tasks

[umbral forum]

@fringe agate are we allowed to post guide videos on this channel? To farm Somal Dust for the loop progress, in this case. EDIT: never mind, videos seem to be allowed according to the channel description.

[modern canyon]

Without any hyperdrive upgrades, my route led me directly to one just before Anchor 1.

[ashen shore]

Loop 1 finished?

[modern canyon]

might be a rounding error

[wraith badge]

You have to be kidding me ... 50 SFMs for the Matter Beam! 😦

[remote thunder]

can you confirm it was this one?

[modern canyon]

yeah, that looks right to me

[ashen shore]

@remote thunder

[modern canyon]

all research costs multiplied by ten. it's... annoying.

[umbral forum]

Somnal Dust farming guide.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUVvFMwH8fs

[remote thunder]

ok - just to elaborate, this route might not be the same for all players

[modern canyon]

ah, huh. thought it'd match if we all started in the same place, I guess hyperdrive strength is varying a little on our starter ships?

[remote thunder]

hey, good to see you 😄 notice how freighter doesn't have a hyperdrive? 😅

[remote thunder]

not quite sure why, but having done multiple runs in each of the past expeditions i have seen it change

[wraith badge]

mine does

[modern canyon]

Hm. Alright, thanks for the info. It's a bit weird, but good to know.

[remote thunder]

i guess it's just bugged for some of us then

can still summon it no problem

[ashen shore]

I have the genius idea of griding 50k nanites for freighter paint job lmao

[remote thunder]

now you understand why screenshots are always preferable 🙂

[jagged charm]

46 to go

[wraith badge]

and thanks ... always here just don't say much these days ... not looking forward to getting Top Gek 😉

[vagrant remnant]

@remote thunder i can confirm that damaged machinery tech rewards ARE fixed!!

went to the shield mod at -38.18, +136.31. it's an a-class shield on both my survival and expedition/survival saves

[cursive coyote]

About to start exped, pm me if youd like to help along the way etc 🙂

[topaz mirage]

It is saying my inventory is full when it is not

[vagrant remnant]

are you trying to claim a milestone reward?

[umbral forum]

Try freeing up more space.

[fringe agate]

Yep

[remote thunder]

see, that's nice. thanks for the science! 🙂

[umbral forum]

100 dust per minute can be used to get units too. :3

[topaz mirage]

What does it mean by reach the first anchor point

[vagrant remnant]

select it as a mission and head to your galaxy map. the expedition route filter will show you the way to each anchor

[umbral forum]

Reach a portal on the designated planet. Each planet (or system, can't remember) has exactly one portal.

[topaz mirage]

I wish i can transfer this ship into another save

[willow geyser]

wait i talked to the leviathan

but now im back at teh start wth?

[remote thunder]

not completely

[willow geyser]

who teh f did this ...

i cant leave

[remote thunder]

open quick menu, report it
