No Man's Sky - Multiplayer

When another player has built a base somewhere that is impacting your experience, you can report this base, despawning the offending base after the report process is complete.

How to Report another Player base:

While on the base, simply bring up your on foot quick menu, scroll to the right and press the Report Offensive or Inappropriate Base: button.

An alternative would be to interact with the base computer, and reporting the base from there.

📖 Did you know? Reporting another player's base does not report it to the developers, and it doesn't affect the owner either, so don't feel bad about it.

[hushed steeple]

So it basically just removes the base just for you?

[remote thunder]

despawns it

[next harness]

so you just melee the computer screen forever

[willow geyser]

thanks

[next harness]

does anyone know if contributing to this community thing actually moves the meter or is it timed

[ashen shore]

Anyone checked if players still take damage from biological horrors while in exomech?

[remote thunder]

afaik, it seems to actually contribute yes

[wraith badge]

if you've updated it then this can be deleted ... #nms-questions message

or unpinned

[ashen shore]

Cause I feel like using it to get the whispering eggs

[willow geyser]

aaand im done

[remote thunder]

i'm done at this point, i can easily check without fear

[ashen shore]

That would be awesome

[remote thunder]

just going to grab some food, and load in after, will ping you

[umbral forum]

Each somnal dust is ~1000 units so you can also use that to get a lot of units in the early game.

[topaz mirage]

It says i am not on the achor 1 world when i am right at the portal

Now it counted it

[next harness]

nice

[next harness]

its also an afk method to contribute to community

[umbral forum]

~100 dust per minute and completely AFK as long as you can keep the melee button pressed.

[next harness]

cheers

[ashen shore]

FUCK

I forgot exomech doesn't have laser by default

[willow geyser]

and another expedition completed successfully :3

[next harness]

this intraknife is taking forever to get. I hope its on the drop table

[ashen shore]

Ok new perfectly valid strategy

[umbral forum]

It is, but you probably won't get enough upgrades to turn it into a killing machine.

[ashen shore]

Target egg, pick core, shoot paralysis mortar, get into mech, jetpack away

[umbral forum]

You can also run around the building since they are slower than you.

[next harness]

I have 4 S class upgrades :p

[umbral forum]

Oh.

[next harness]

the prepackaged madules sell for 480

so just farm pugneum, silver, and the components for turn ins to polo

[umbral forum]

How did you get S-class ones tho?

[next harness]

i sell all my scopes and invisibility cloaks

buy from space station

theyre 5500

roughly

[umbral forum]

Oh, so you farmed for nanites.

[next harness]

yeah

[willow geyser]

:P

[next harness]

I'm not farming nanites per say, im farming turnins

[willow geyser]

it even says complete in 0%

[umbral forum]

Oh right, with the somnal dust farming method you can turn them in for upgrades and just sell the upgrades. Didn't think about it at all.

[next harness]

my bottleneck is silver for the creation of modules

[next harness]

yeah, the grey ones sell for a lot

[next harness]

any suggestions getting silver?

[umbral forum]

Refine herox.

[hushed steeple]

Shoot up a lot of asteroids.

[umbral forum]

Although Herox is harder to get by nowadays.

[next harness]

i dont know what herox is

must be hard to get lol

[umbral forum]

It's a mineral that you used to get from destroyed pirate ships.

[next harness]

oh ic

[ashen shore]

True, but for that I would need to find a building with infestation first

[umbral forum]

You can also recycle rooms in your freighter for the silver.

[next harness]

before pirate update?

[ashen shore]

What I do now is bunnyhopping on anchor 1 planet

Since all infested planets should spawn eggs

Break the egg with mining beam, pick the larvar core, when horrors spawn shoot them with paralysis mortar, get into mech, jetpack away

That's my strat right now and it's working

[umbral forum]

But every time you turn in 100 dust to Polo, you get a memory fragment, so I think it's just faster to AFK farm for dust, exchange for memories through Polo and sell those for nanites.

[next harness]

agreed

[next harness]

its also double dipping, everyone wins

[ashen shore]

Look for Buried Mineral Formations in your visor

Those buried crystals can drop multitude of items, Herox included

#exp3moment

[next harness]

thanks

[ashen shore]

By the looks of things

The only non-loop / non-anchor-point related milestone that is left for me is the contraband one

I should be able to just go to anchors 2 and 3 and will have these phases completed

[next harness]

Buy illegal goods, set outside and summon anomaly and the portal from anomaly to another space station

[next harness]

Beware of storms and mountains on those anchor points. Hard to summon ship and land

[stoic dagger]

Man the contraband one is the best, I did it in the first outlaw system in the path and netted 8 mil. Makes everything much easier

[next harness]

I suggest you upgrade your launch thrusters too

The last couple anchor points are a pain. The storms have tornadoes

And make sure to take your time on freighter at the end

[ashen shore]

I just shilled 5.5k nanites on S-class hyperdrive upgrade

Lets fucking goo

@remote thunder You don't need to check the minotaur thing anymore

[next harness]

Good call

[woven flare]

I'm stuck on the new expedition, any help? I am trying to use the memory resonator, but it says theres a low or weak signal. I looked it up and it says that I had to use it on the planet that it was crafted on- I don't remember what planet that was... Id rather not start all over. Is there a way to reset that one mission?

[next harness]

Try clicking on the anchor point mission, does it track it?

[gritty depot]

I just submitted to the leviathan but after I did it, it didn’t complete it, is this a bug?

[next harness]

Yeah, patch likely Monday

[woven flare]

it does, but I wont be able to fully complete the expedition

[gritty depot]

Wait it just completed the leviathan milestone

[willow geyser]

big boy

[dense haven]

I'm gonna ask what's probably an over-asked question but
How in the bloody hell do i get the derelict freighter co-ords without farming 5 mil?

[umbral forum]

There is a reward that gives you one if I remember it correctly.

[quick oxide]

is the ending of the expedition still bugged?

im at the last step right now

[dense haven]

One of the iteration 1 milestones?

[quick oxide]

no the iteration 5 final reward

claiming the leviathan frigate

[dense haven]

I was responding to Vats lol

But i dunno, ocean. Haven't even passed itteration 1 yet

[umbral forum]

I never got more than 5 million in my playthrough. Try talking to the guy in the Anomaly that gives free ones too.

[dense haven]

Helios still asks for data

No prompt on free co-ords

[umbral forum]

I think he gives it once a week or so.

[dense haven]

It's been a week since i touched NMS tho

[umbral forum]

Check the rewards of the milestones.

[dense haven]

Will do

[next harness]

You have to have been to one before that unlocks

[umbral forum]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[willow geyser]

erm

didnt polo give u

[dense haven]

......no??

[willow geyser]

wha

did u farm the dust?

on a derelict

[dense haven]

I
Was looking for a derelict coord

[willow geyser]

check if u have unclaimed reward on teh expeditions

[umbral forum]

I know he gives one when you turn in somnal dust to him, but you need to have been in a freighter before.

[willow geyser]

i didnt buy any

throughout my whole expedition

[dense haven]

Oh right, i should probably contact my freighter too

[ashen shore]

Lol, found a derelict without the emergency broadcast receiver

On my way to anchor 2 point

[dense haven]

Found the associated milestone
It's Bounds Testing

Which i think requires me to find the derelict first....

Or maybe not, maybe you just need to turn in one of the three materials

[umbral forum]

I did the memories one before doing the dust one.

[dense haven]

Turning the memories now

addendum: should've picked up some suns while i'm at it

[ashen shore]

Holy mother of all infestations

[slate mountain]

Woot

[dense haven]

DEATH IS NOT THE END // THE LOOP IS WACK

[brazen crest]

only so many terrain edits per save; that will keep happening as it's not a bug so much as a limitation of the system. It's advised not to build where you need to dig out; often better to use existing caves and natural formations to build inside of. I learned this tragic tip over a year ago after spending 4 hours building a self-dug cave base. The struggle is real.

[dense haven]

Okay, this is for anyone with the same question
Turn in either the Liquid Sun or the Ancestral Memories, it'll complete BOUNDS TESTING, which gives you the derelict coord

[eternal skiff]

I'm about to continue my expedition Expeditiously... If anyone wants to join. Lol

[willow geyser]

Rip and tear my brother

[willow geyser]

XD

[dense haven]

The holy words of Iteration D00M-5L 4Y3R

[willow geyser]

XD

ready your scatter blaster cuz we gonna blast some brains XD

but ye i open them all and jsut rain fire on those little bastards :D

[dense haven]

Bout to go Call of Duty up in this mf

[umbral forum]

I just ignored those.

[dense haven]

If i die, tell my next iteration that my fart smells

[umbral forum]

Not worth wasting time on them since they give exactly zero loot.

[dense haven]

I just like blasting shit
Well, on my main save. i'll prolly just swipe the loot trying to finesse my way thru the horse as well

[surreal wraith]

how do i do the banished glass step ?

[umbral forum]

Kill sentinels?

[surreal wraith]

well, it requires me to wipe out the sentinel force of a planet. idk how to do that tho

[umbral forum]

Check the kill sentinels step.

[ashen shore]

Delivered 500 units of dust to Polo

I expect the loop 1 to be finished any time now

...

Any time now...

[surreal wraith]

3 % left

[slate mountain]

Go to a sentinel pillar and shut it off

[surreal wraith]

ah ok

ty

[umbral forum]

The kill 20 sentinel step gives you a map to one.

[slate mountain]

Alternatively if you somehow survive combat with a sentinel walker in wave 5, that will do it too

Also if you wait until you reach anchor 4 or 5, there are bases around sentinel pillars for easy shut off

[ashen shore]

Mine says 0% left

[dense haven]

God, i forgot just how intense derelict dives are when you're not kitted out like a warhammer space marine

[surreal wraith]

98% atm

check the logs

[slate mountain]

Bring extra ammo, ion batteries and life support gel If you think you have enough, bring more

[dense haven]

Way ahead of you, still feels weird when you can't erase an entire alien infestation in 5 seconds flat

[ashen shore]

Oh so that's where the actual value is displayed

[slate mountain]

Yeah, I dreaded the idea of doing a freighter run. I hate freighter runs. Worse than farming larval cores without cheesing imo

[topaz mirage]

Bruh my ship glitched into my freighter and almost killed me

I am glad i left before it did

[slate mountain]

Oof

[dense haven]

Lucky break, my man

[willow geyser]

it is 0% till finished

probably will go to -1% now

XD

[ashen shore]

Refining all the Tainted Metal I got so I can shill again for S-class hyperdrive upgrade

[unkempt heath]

Anyone know when the experimental branch will move to the public one? Or how long patches like them take to go live?

[ashen shore]

Probably not during the weekend

Monday would be a safe bet

[surreal wraith]

is it worth keeping the current ship or should i swap it ?

[umbral forum]

It's more than enough for the expedition since it doesn't rely on heavy dogfighting.

[surreal wraith]

ok

[umbral forum]

Also comes with built in launch thruster recharging.

[unkempt heath]

Monday, that’s rough

[eternal skiff]

It feels like every time I hit space, pirates are attacking me. Lol

[willow geyser]

i hate it

[slate mountain]

After a certain point I just started paying the ransom

[meager stream]

Its either monday or wednesday

[dense haven]

"I will give you 50K units to fuck off"

[wild wedge]

I broke the derelect frieghter 😭

The door wont open

[eternal skiff]

Haha really tho.. it's annoying but I'm too broke to be paying.

[dense haven]

Did you destroy all the tentacle thingies in one shot?

[wild wedge]

No like the first door wont open

Im just stuck here cuz the first door wknt open

[dense haven]

That
Is not supposed to happen

[eternal skiff]

Reload

[wild wedge]

This is annoying

Can i just go to a diff system and do it

[umbral forum]

The pirates are pretty weak.

[ashen shore]

They do move in herds!

[umbral forum]

I just blaze my guns on them and get some nanites/goods in the process.

It's like free stuff delivery.

[dense haven]

Honestly, the only reason i never pay them is simply spite
I am NOT letting some Johnny Depp wannabe steal my McDonalds lunch money

[umbral forum]

They don't bite, but they can still hurt you.

[dense haven]

"But.... the cargo is my love for you..."

[hidden mesa]

If you complete the expedition early, can you convert your save to survival then? Or do we need to wait until the end of the 6 weeks?

[surreal wraith]

what're the indications im in a system with outlaw space station?

[hidden mesa]

The system will have a symbol in the galaxy map (skull, I believe) and the system itself has a totally different look and feel. You'll know.

[surreal wraith]

ok

[slate mountain]

You will need to wait I think?

[hidden mesa]

Ah, gotcha, thanks.

[slate mountain]

But you can keep playing to set yourself up for a solid save in 6 weeks

[umbral forum]

I wonder if it will be converted into a permadeath save.

[slate mountain]

No, it will convert to survival

[ashen shore]

😄

[slate mountain]

Spoiler: ||once you summon the leviathan, and complete phase 5, your progress no longer resets on death. At least according to this video https://youtu.be/HWjhSPxj38w ||

[ashen shore]

WHOOP WHOOP

[slate mountain]

Woohoo

[wild wedge]

I found a guppy

And its a really small yellow one

I got it first in the expedition

Pog

[meager yew]

Yo, the first Community Milestone has been hit

[wild wedge]

Nice

Look in the screenshots if you wanna see the guppy i got

[hardy talon]

Woohoo! First milestone!

[teal matrix]

Nice job everyone - Now on to Milestone TWO!

[hardy talon]

Should I go die?

[teal matrix]

lol

[slate mountain]

Post it in #nms-legacy-ships with the portal glyphs, people will want to know

[upbeat tusk]

when i call the leviathan, what am i supposed to reply with? asking cus it took a long time to get here, i dont want to mess this up lol

[stray meteor]

i have a expedition save already, would i have to delete that one to start the new one or can i start the new one in the old expedition world

[ashen shore]

Each new expedition requires a new save

You can't use a save from previous expedition to play the new one

You don't have to delete the old save though, we can have up to 15 saves

[stray meteor]

cool thanks, i know rewards transfer tho correct?

15 😩 i only have 3

[ashen shore]

Yes, the phase rewards and main reward can be redeemed at any save

Including the expedition saves

I see lots of folks flying the Golden Vector in current expedition

[stray meteor]

yeah sadly i never got that one

my first expedition was emergence i think

the one with the worms

[ashen shore]

Phase 2 and 3 completed, time to get the new cloak

[stray meteor]

is there a forum i can catch up on the new updates

[ashen shore]

Updates on what?

[stray meteor]

the game like what they’ve added

haven’t played since october

[ashen shore]

Patch notes for Sentinel and Outlaws update

[stray meteor]

thanks

found it

[slate mountain]

I don't think you can

[soft shadow]

Question, have the bug fixes for the new expedition dropped yet? Specifically on Xbox?

[ashen shore]

Doubtful

!whatsnew

[unkempt kraken]

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

[soft shadow]

dang

Thanks anyway lmao

[ashen shore]

It's weekend

We prolly get them on monday

[soft shadow]

Ah, do updates whether content or not never drop on weekends?

[ashen shore]

I don't member a situation where it did

[soft shadow]

Alright, thanks

[hardy talon]

Made it to Anchor 4 - I hear this planet is good for Storm Crystals, right?

Never collected before

[flint rivet]

I've finished 3 phases but it only says I've completed one, is the game saying that due to my only having completed one optional one?

[indigo falcon]

devs get weekends off like everyone else, one would hope

[ashen shore]

Have you clicked on the bottom badge on each phase page to complete said phase?

[indigo falcon]

do you mean on the final screen showing all five phases and the badge?

[noble wagon]

So after logging back on it seems that it isn't bugged.

[flint rivet]

yeah, i've completed 3 phases but then on the bottom it says "Phases Completed: 1/5"

[noble wagon]

We will need to complete the community stuff as well.

[flint rivet]

ahhh i see then

[indigo falcon]

it's a known bug and will be fixed once the patch in the experimental branch goes public

don't worry about it, proceed on.

[noble wagon]

@indigo falcon no it isn't bugged. We need to complete the optional milestones as well.

[umbral forum]

Or we just shove stuff into Polo's throat?

[flint rivet]

nearly done all my phases, only missing like 4 steps 2 from phase 4 and 2 from phase 5

[indigo falcon]

not to claim the final reward. it's in the patch notes explicitly

[flint rivet]

so after completing all my phases i just dont touch the final reward till next update?

[indigo falcon]

correct!

[noble wagon]

@indigo falcon dude I'm looking at it now. Yesterday was 0/5. Today after logging on the milestone 1 was done. Now it says 1/5.

[flint rivet]

thank you for telling me, i'd have gotten the reward if i didnt know lol

[indigo falcon]

yes and I saw it and let me copy paste from the bug fix notes: "Fixed an issue that could prevent players from collecting the final reward from an expedition while there were uncomplete optional milestones." https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/3395163747100062366/

[indigo falcon]

so the behaviour you are seeing today is an actual bug.

[noble wagon]

Or you know just wait until the optional areal done.

[flint rivet]

also has anyone had the game constantly crash in expeditions?

[umbral forum]

Crashed on me only once.

[indigo falcon]

I've been running in single player and, not to jinx it, but it's been ok

[umbral forum]

In the freighter.

[flint rivet]

hm, i might have to turn my multiplayer off to see if that helps cuz my game keeps crashing on ps4

[indigo falcon]

ouch heck of a place to crash

[noble wagon]

It makes sense to me. Those missions are optional yes but they are still under the phase tabs.

[indigo falcon]

I would recommend it, I'm on PS5 so probably a bit more robust but I would not think of running this in multiplayer

[flint rivet]

i've been trying to collect ancestral memories and the material with the solar ray for like 40 minutes, constant crashes then slow load times

[indigo falcon]

at any rate as a good citizen I have done the 5 runs for Polo, only phase 1 and 2 complete, but except for derelicts and anchor points 3,4,5 (plus their memories) the rest is complete, we'll see if I stay alive through that

[umbral forum]

You can AFK farm Somnal Dust.

[indigo falcon]

saw the 1st optional milestone complete

wut

[flint rivet]

how

[umbral forum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUVvFMwH8fs

[indigo falcon]

... a little bit ago, already have a suit and mt full of crap c modules though 😄

I assumed I needed to do a derelict for that, no?

or, a little of one for the mats for the phase 5 item

[umbral forum]

You get one from Polo around phase 1.

[ashen shore]

What the actual fuck

[umbral forum]

Don't ask. It just works.

[ashen shore]

But at this rate I prefer to do the actual derelict and get some other loot as well

[indigo falcon]

that is very very weird

can't really afk that though

have to actually be there holding down the melee button 😄

[umbral forum]

You can fill your pockets with dust and get a lot of memories from Polo. Then you can sell them for Nanites and buy S-class stuff.

[flint rivet]

u can hold it down to melee? am i dumb i always just press it lmfao

that's actually useful asf

[indigo falcon]

I don't know if you can hold it down (ps5 player) or you need to press repeatedly

either way, it's not afk

[flint rivet]

just tried, works on ps4 just holding it

[umbral forum]

It is if you use the right tools.

[brazen crest]

Should Milestones achieved be permanent across deaths? like ... Do I have to do every. single. one. over again if I die?

[indigo falcon]

yeah we no got

[flint rivet]

rubber band if ur on controller tbh

[indigo falcon]

you have to do almost all of them over yes

you'll get iterate/repeat almost immediately

and you keep the partners in time milestone remains if you've done it

the rest... poof (but end of phase rewards you claimed, remain claimed

)

[flint rivet]

i need tech for my Minotaur istg struggling

[indigo falcon]

as for me I don't need all the loot, I'd doing ok for units, so I just need the 32 somnal, first crate that gives it to me and I'm outa there for derelict number 1

[brazen crest]

then something must be wrong because I have nothing showing and I finished all of Iteration 1. All that shows now is the community badge.

[indigo falcon]

it won't be like that

the item will be available to all saves at qs shop, and this save has it or will ahve it, the reward itself I mean, if you claimed it

but you still have to repeat the phases if you want the final item

[stray saddle]

are you suppos3d to submit to the leviathan?

[noble wagon]

Atone for your sins.

[stray saddle]

oh thank god I tho0ught it had just reset me lol

[limber ivy]

RIP 4 - Monstrocity knocked me 30 ft into the air... lol

egg quest

[flint rivet]

wrong dc

[indigo falcon]

do not panic.

and break the loop!

[stray saddle]

bro I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the Death: 5 show up

[merry gazelle]

I didn't notice the death counter

[foggy cloak]

well no more, as you broke the generation-curse

[flint rivet]

wait so at the end i submit myself to the leviathan and effectively die?

[civic hawk]

Has anyone made a creature farm base for the expedition?

[stray saddle]

WHOOP WHOOP

[foggy cloak]

You atoned for your sins

[flint rivet]

a what

[merry gazelle]

Well your atoning so technically yes

[indigo falcon]

you're gonna be ok. do. not. panic.

[civic hawk]

For ancestral memory

[flint rivet]

oh, why need a base lol, most planets have creatures bunched up tbh

[indigo falcon]

there's a world without storms (toxic? I think) in the starter system, and some nice protogek and other things you can drop pellets for

I dunno about bases for that, just go there and do

[merry gazelle]

You dont to give creatures treats all the time there are alternative methods

[umbral forum]

AFK farming Somnal Dust is probably more efficient.

[civic hawk]

oh?

[merry gazelle]

I prefer liquid sun

[indigo falcon]

you drop one pellet, interact with each creature... it can be pretty chill

[umbral forum]

Like 100 dust a minute.

[indigo falcon]

(I got one to follow me back to a tiny base, stood in the doorway, occsionally 'click', do othe rthings in the meantime)

[remote thunder]

@ashen shore horrors can definitely damage you while inside mino

[indigo falcon]

horror story reported in the subreddit? or maybe here, just yesterday

[ashen shore]

Fun fucking tastic

[merry gazelle]

Nearly died from the horrors on the freighter...it was not pleasant

[umbral forum]

I just ignored them.

[indigo falcon]

I parked ship right be the grave, got the message, two steps and I was in ship and they were some sad little horrors

[flint rivet]

dont fuck with the freighter folk 😂

[remote thunder]

i can imagine - nearly died, had to immediately jetpack away and eat meat to restore health

[indigo falcon]

yeouch

[merry gazelle]

Sounds like minecraft

[remote thunder]

had 6 hp, down to 1 in less than 1 sec

[indigo falcon]

they will getcha

[remote thunder]

granted, almost no shield mods at all

[indigo falcon]

also minotaurs do not help with fall damage it seems

[umbral forum]

How come?

[remote thunder]

that's less expected

[indigo falcon]

I did a small test, took some (not lots) of damage, too bad for that

just a little jump and land

[flint rivet]

idk how ppl die to fall damage

literally jumping off cliffs with a speed bug and i survive

[indigo falcon]

it was hard to die my first obligatory death, that's for sure

[merry gazelle]

Probably because it lacks one of the protection mods right?

[remote thunder]

i did quite a few jumps just now, didn't lose hp - how big of a fall are we talking?

[umbral forum]

I don't remember ever taking fall damage with the Minotaur.

[remote thunder]

i never took fall damage with any exocraft

[indigo falcon]

"come on! jump again! no don't restore the dang... arrrghh... kill me now!"

[umbral forum]

Even after jumping from mountains in megaexotic planets.

[merry gazelle]

you didn't happen to land on a hazardous plant right?

[indigo falcon]

not to my knowledge

[merry gazelle]

thats only way you take dmg while in a exocraft

[remote thunder]

i need to go and test this

[indigo falcon]

please do, maybe something else is responsible that I didn't notice

but it did keep me from jetpacking around in it

[remote thunder]

having fall damage on exocrafts makes sense, but would be a silent change

[indigo falcon]

slow walk instead 😄 eh, got the storm crystals a bit slower, nbd

[flint rivet]

isnt last expedition's characters meant to become normal mode now?

[umbral forum]

plz no, no fall damage in exocrafts

[merry gazelle]

Survival

[remote thunder]

correct, it should have asked you to convert to a normal game mode save

[indigo falcon]

expd 6 should convert to normal and there's something ni the patch notes (coming soon) where that's screwed up

just be patient a few days for the fix to go public

[flint rivet]

i have a character from last expedition (havent played much, it has around 26 hours)when i get on the character i get a prompt that comes up but nothing else

[remote thunder]

the prompt should say "in order to contniue playing this save, it has to be converted to a normal mode save"

[indigo falcon]

lemme see the exact patch notes on this though, your specific issue may not get fixed, unclear

Fixed an issue that could cause previous expedition saves to be converted to Survival rather than Normal mode after the end of the expedition.

[umbral forum]

Stack sizes aside, survival is much more fun than normal mode.

[indigo falcon]

depeneds on what you want in your game I suppose

but that's why there are different modes, for different play styles

[drifting stump]

Hey, does anyone have an emergency broadcast receiver on their expedition save I could use?

[hot drum]

lemme check

[drifting stump]

Thanks

[brazen crest]

somebody just inventory dumped 3 on me. you can have 2

[drifting stump]

Thanks, if you have time can you assist with the freighter as well?

[brazen crest]

yup

[indigo falcon]

is this the phase 5 run?

[drifting stump]

Thanks

[drifting stump]

Yeah

I'm trying to get it done first so it turns into a normal save

[hot drum]

@drifting stump i got two if u need it still

[drifting stump]

I think I'm alright thanks but if you wanna join in helping that would be much appreciated

[drifting stump]

Should I message you?

[hot drum]

im a bit tad busy rn ;c, someone on my assignment grp just texted me with some prob T T

[brazen crest]

@drifting stump i'm @ nexus and ready for invite, if you want to voice we could use LFG3 here; the ingame voice is hell for me

[drifting stump]

Ah, no worries, thanks for the offer anyways

[drifting stump]

I'm alright on voice for now thanks, but are you able to message me your friend code?

[brazen crest]

yup gimme a sec

[hot drum]

good luck with the freigher tho!! bring lots of ion batteries thing or sodium :]

[drifting stump]

Thanks

[drifting stump]

Will do

[rich ember]

Do I have to die die?

[ashen shore]

the creatures of the first planet are aggresive right?

[ashen shore]

yes

[indigo falcon]

yes, adopt one and that's a milestone

strider and one other one are both meanies

[ashen shore]

nice

could you remind me the name of the system pls?

[nova jay]

For it milestone, finding a high place to jump was not good for my mental health.🙃

[hushed steeple]

Hmm. ||Does the end reset by the leviathan count as a death?||

[indigo falcon]

rowland desk

[ashen shore]

perfect!!! thanks,i put a mark in my discovered list

[indigo falcon]

Christole Oich planet name

[calm anchor]

Is anchor 4 still a deathtrap where you get hurt randomly?

[indigo falcon]

I guess it is (aggro sentinel one eh)

[calm anchor]

I mean the system in general

When I was doing it I got shot at IN THE SPACE STATION

[indigo falcon]

did you take damage??

[calm anchor]

Yep

[ashen shore]

for people making a base called "Sentinel tower" or whatever,make sure of mark the actual tower pls

[indigo falcon]

just to double check. you do have pvp off (it's off by default in theory)

[ashen shore]

wha

[calm anchor]

Didn't die but it did hit my shields quite a bit

Yeah

Pvp was off

[indigo falcon]

you could set single player and see if that makes a difference

[ashen shore]

probably were pirates

[indigo falcon]

what do you mean?

[calm anchor]

I was just trying to do my usual loop for stuff and then I got shot at while just walking in the station

[ashen shore]

the station rumble a little while i run out of them

[calm anchor]

It wasn't a pirate attack I could see

Just random "hey get damaged lol"

[hushed steeple]

I was at an unmanned trading post and still got a pirate raid.

[ashen shore]

some people make a base next to a sentinel tower,i guess is for making the milestone easier. But they forgot to set a mark or lead you in the direction of it

[indigo falcon]

presumably if you were in the trading post near the terminal you were safe enough, no?

[calm anchor]

Another player in the same instance said in the chat they were being damaged while underground

[calm anchor]

Yeah I was next to the station core, I think the direction indicator said it was coming from above

[indigo falcon]

oh! I went to one today that was literally on top of it, they had built a nice enclosure plus multiple containers for your stuff plus a trade terminal and a frickin powered with real power not the biofuel crap teleporter

[ashen shore]

hackers?

[indigo falcon]

I was impressed

[calm anchor]

It was spooky, and thankfully I had done all other phase 4 goals before the anchor point

Idk maybe a hacker, I was just really worried because I was nearly done

[indigo falcon]

yehah for phase 4 I only have th anchor point and the loop bit left\

[ashen shore]

lucky,mine has all of that except the actual tower lol

[tired condor]

As a non perma player the fall thing was new to me, any other must knows to avoid doing this thing 15 times? (example: if an animal pecks you two times, you’re dead)

[calm anchor]

I hope your multi-tool is good enough for a derelict

[ashen shore]

i have to make it by the old fashion way

[calm anchor]

Shields, or tame the animals

[indigo falcon]

be very careful with jetpacking from a height, avoid if at all posssible

[ashen shore]

colecting eggs ptsd

[calm anchor]

The eggs was scary until I realized collecting the egg, doing a punch jump, and then picking them off was a viable strat

Monstrosities are really frail

[indigo falcon]

use the minotaur for some dangerous weather things, you can in fact harvest storm crystals from inside it and still get the milestone

(checked that today)

[ashen shore]

5 of 10,one pirate decided to shoot me, i response and then the abandoned building just dissapear

[tired condor]

The ground shook from a leviathan and it effed me up so bad with fall damage I was flashing red, I was literally just standing on the ground

[ashen shore]

how?

you can harvest them?

[indigo falcon]

yes, you get the interaction icon just as if you were on foot

and press the same key/button.

[ashen shore]

oh i mean like a plant

[indigo falcon]

where was this??

[ashen shore]

with hydroponic

[indigo falcon]

uh no, you can't grow your own storm crystals 🙂

[tired condor]

Starting planet I think

[calm anchor]

P sure these milestones also track how you get the items

[indigo falcon]

I got the heck off of there pretty fast, didn't look back.

[calm anchor]

I did a derelict and got 2 storm crystals when I had naturally gathered 2, but my milestone was 2/5 still

[indigo falcon]

they do, so you can't probably be given storm crystals, you have to get yourself. but get via minotaur works just fine

[ashen shore]

black market item,plus Traveller giving me money= 2 milestone in 1 minute

[remote thunder]

possibly requires you to actually harvest them

[calm anchor]

Yeah

Overall I love this expedition from an idea standpoint

[indigo falcon]

yeah I have heard the same reports that e.g. a crystal fragment from dihy that yields a storm crystal also does not count, nice try though 😄

[calm anchor]

Though I do wish the community milestones just said what the progress was at like every 15 minutes

Instead of the percentage

[indigo falcon]

wel first tier is done, people will be getting B class memory fragments now

[calm anchor]

Iirc the community contribution for max level I think was 3.3m clears, and everybody can contribute a maximum of 20 per day

Someone datamined it

[ashen shore]

ohhh so that explains

[hardy talon]

So what happens if I die at this point? Got like Phase 1 and Phase 2 done, about halfway through phase 3.

[calm anchor]

Back to the start

[hardy talon]

I need to complete the whole expedition to get the final rewards right?

[calm anchor]

Yeah

[ashen shore]

the optional no

[hardy talon]

Do I keep what I earned so far at least?

[ashen shore]

right?

[calm anchor]

But if you get the anchor point 5 stuff done, then you can keep progress

Okay, so

[indigo falcon]

you lose all progress, keep bases, if you had done the partners in time milestone you do keep thta, inventory and tech is all reset and you have no other milestones (oh except of course iterate/repeat)

[calm anchor]

Right now, yes, the optional milestones are technically rwquired for the frigate

[indigo falcon]

but if you had claimed the phase reward then it's still available on all your saves

[calm anchor]

This is a bug whose hotfix should be being pushed to prod any time now

[indigo falcon]

no, it's a bug, the fix is coming inthe next patch

[calm anchor]

I was explaining that

[hardy talon]

Cool, so don't die, basically

Roger that

[calm anchor]

If you want to just speedrun it

[indigo falcon]

die once and get it over with, then stay alive and careful

[calm anchor]

You can do the story part of the expedition to keep progress between deaths

[indigo falcon]

what do you mean here?

[hardy talon]

I've also recorded all the anchor point portal addresses so far

[tired condor]

Yeah I think for this one I’ll keep going till I find a good planet and then chill and knock off achievements there for a while

[indigo falcon]

I found a nice storm free one in the starter system, yes you still need hazard protection but still

grabbed a bunch of nav data walking around there, then found a player base at an abandoned building, oh well ;-D

[hardy talon]

How do you smuggle goods? Buy from Outlaw sell to Normal?

There was a base I found on Anchor point 4 planet that has like whispering egg boxes set up for easy farming. That player is a true gentleEntity

[indigo falcon]

yes, buy any contraband at outlaw stations

p.s. there are player bases with nipnip as well, in biodomes for easy harvest

[hardy talon]

Naruhodo...

[indigo falcon]

also watch if you buy, the market seems a bit sturated, you might actually lose money selling 😄

[pale light]

i still have 20 upgrade moduls and ~15million units worth of items which im willing to give away to anyone who wants them. just ping me. its all farmed from my own trip

[indigo falcon]

20 upgrades? nice (but C I guess? heh)

[flint rivet]

just disabled sentinels on a planet

my game just fucking froze

im about to throw hands

[indigo falcon]

I've been accumulating worthless dup or irrelevant packets on my freighter, dunno what to do with them

[pale light]

idk i assume so. i just got 20 moduels still "packed up"

[indigo falcon]

oh no no no .... do you have a recent manual or auto save??

tier one completed so people will get B class fragments now

[flint rivet]

i have one but is from right before i startet fighting the sentinels

[indigo falcon]

at the end?

[remote thunder]

might need to reload.

(loaded up game, saw notification of class upgrade, crafted one, got a c-class ship shield mod. reloaded, crafted another fragment, this time b-class)

[indigo falcon]

unclear, I saw the optional milestone 1 "complete" notification while I was in the game earlier this evening

ok well that's good to know

[remote thunder]

just to keep this in mind

yeah

[flint rivet]

waiting for my game to unfreze, not even touching it lmfao

[hardy talon]

How do you deactivate the sentinels on a planet...? Is it permanent?

[indigo falcon]

it's temporary while you are on the planet, don't warp or teleport away and don't reload

[unkempt plaza]

also for whoever said (dont remember the exact username) that the optional milestones need to be completed haswell for the final reward thats a huge lie bcuz it litterly is patched in the experimental branch that the final reward needs the optional milestones its heccing optional for a reason lol

[indigo falcon]

there is a point of interest called a "sentinel pillar" which in the expedition at any rate you can just walk up to the terminal and select 'shut down sentinels' and off they go

plus a few dropped barrels around the site too

[hardy talon]

How do you locate them? Nav data charts or something?

[indigo falcon]

you need a sentinel boundary map; buried caches sometimes give, suspicious packets (goods?) sometimes give, sentinel glass sometimes gives

[unkempt plaza]

isnt it only the chart that can drop from salvaging salvaged glass?

oh ye i remember the other ways now lol

[indigo falcon]

alternatively you can find them in the wild, they are not particularly rare

[unkempt plaza]

but still its the only chart that finds them

[indigo falcon]

(or defeat 5 waves of sentinels. eyeroll)

[hardy talon]

Is there any milestone harder than the kill 20 sentinels?

I'm scared of the hidden ones

[unkempt plaza]

imo the harvest 10 whispering eggs

[hardy talon]

Whispering eggs were scary too

[unkempt plaza]

like the sentinals where a walk in the park for me bcuz i did them with my minotaur

but the eggs god those where annoying

[hardy talon]

Someone built a convenient farm base on Anchor 4

[unkempt plaza]

ye i know

[flint rivet]

fighting the fools till they all die

[unkempt plaza]

but still it took like 1 hour after i gotten all the eggs on anchor 2 (where there was also a base) till the biological horros despawned

[indigo falcon]

the eggs are manageble if yu know how to do it or use someone else's kindly provided base, same deal

the derelict at the end might be dicey

[ruby fern]

The expedition start is a bit harsh with the pulse engine offline and no blueprints to rebuild Hermetic Seals .

[unkempt plaza]

and in the end they didnt even despawn i just summoned my ship right outside the door and got inside and took off lmao

^

[indigo falcon]

always check the milestones, see which rewards will help with which tasks

[ruby fern]

thanks, got it

[cobalt shore]

Hey I'm at this mission now. Do I have to smuggle goods worth 500.000 units or do I have to earn 500.000 units from smuggling?

[unkempt plaza]

earn p sure

[ruby fern]

I often avoid the milestones up to the last minute for the eternal ennemy : inventory space , so quickly filled with rewards

[cobalt shore]

It wasn't stated like that.

[unkempt plaza]

i mean its been worded like that since outlaws lol

[indigo falcon]

you need to sell contraband items, however you acquire them, fr a profit (i.e. at regular systems)

[summer oyster]

Yeah it seems to be a bit confusing.

[indigo falcon]

you can for example visit a player base with nipnip, stock up on that, go sell.

[cobalt shore]

I smuggled First Spawn relics which were worth together 2 million units but the bar still states 0/500.000 units.

[unkempt plaza]

did you sell them?

[cobalt shore]

Ok. Thanks guys!

[unkempt plaza]

like in a space station in a reg system

[cobalt shore]

I had to give them to an NPC.

[indigo falcon]

what was the profit margin??

ohhh.... nope

[unkempt plaza]

then that doesnt count

[cobalt shore]

2 million

[unkempt plaza]

you need to actaully sell them in the reg system

for it to count

[cobalt shore]

Okay thankies

[indigo falcon]

and if you make enough profit there's your 1 million units for another milestone too

[calm anchor]

Tbh I find smuggling the best way to earn credits in survival

[indigo falcon]

small quantities can net a big profit

there's also the normal trade loops, which don't require huge stack sizes

[calm anchor]

Truthfully I never learned the normal trade loops

[gilded tiger]

I made like 15m with trading. It'll be easy if I can memorize the route but storage is becoming an issue now so I've stopped for awhile

[calm anchor]

It seems like every system I bring a commodity to it's made locally

Smuggling is pretty free anyways

[indigo falcon]

In normal mode, on one save I run a loop that takes about 30 mins for 150 million. you might say 'well my AI mine', but I'm not really into that sort of thing

this feels a little truer to the game (for me)

[gilded tiger]

@calm anchor

[calm anchor]

I'm normally a cobalt crasher lmao I don't think about that

[gilded tiger]

Yeah it feels part of the game when doing trading routes since you're exploring and dumping accordingly

[indigo falcon]

everyone has their own constraints and what works for them

[shy narwhal]

Any idea where are the high access passin the derelict freighter?

I went through the whole thing three times and I'm still missing two...

[calm anchor]

Read the log snippets

[indigo falcon]

oh, the security credentials?

you only need one!

[shy narwhal]

I need the captains log and the engineering unit

[indigo falcon]

select that one when reading the captain's log (or trying to)

the engineering unit needs nothing

[shy narwhal]

The enter password is grayed iut

[indigo falcon]

for which, can you show a screenshot? (post in nms-screenshots for now)

whew!

[shy narwhal]

Posted

[indigo falcon]

huh. ok let me ask, what did you get from the captain's log thing?

I wouldn't trust NMS on that 😄

[shy narwhal]

Ive never done a freighter I just looked at all the tablets is there something else?

[indigo falcon]

there aer three large terminals like that one in the picture

1. crew manifest

2. captain's log (this is where you should get the item you need, if this is the phase 5 one)

[gilded tiger]

Do pics not appear here?

[indigo falcon]

3. tech terminal, the one in the pic

[indigo falcon]

not levelled enough to post here yet

[unkempt plaza]

^

[indigo falcon]

now ordinarily the tech terminal needs nothing but I guess you are locked out to keep from giving tech to freighter for this expedition...

(notice how the free freighter we all have has 0 tech at all?)

[shy narwhal]

Yep phase 5

Do you know which room it's in?

[indigo falcon]

so in a previous room, large teriminal kinda like that one, captain's log

[shy narwhal]

I found one in room two

[indigo falcon]

the progression is, crew manifest first, then captain's log, then (last thing) this one

if you reactivated all telporters you should be able to cycle betwen the rooms

[gilded tiger]

How can you remember such details?! 😯

[indigo falcon]

run 20 of them and ask me again ;-D

[granite needle]

Anyone playing rn wanna group up? I'm on PS5

[karmic whale]

try #nms-lfg-or-trades

also, platform doesn't matter

[shy narwhal]

Erg I bet it's bugged

I have 4 teleporters

First one is a green terminal.

[indigo falcon]

what's that one say it is?

[shy narwhal]

Second one asks for password

Third one is red and can't be interacted with

Second one is secure mainframe

[calm anchor]

Double check to make sure you got every log snippet

[quartz salmon]

One log snippet gives you the password

[indigo falcon]

I'm stumped honestly

[shy narwhal]

Right went through the place 5 times still can't find it...

Alright guess I'll start over

[quartz salmon]

Could be glitched tbh

[indigo falcon]

lemme ask something

[alpine zealot]

Might not be much, but after exped, maybe I'll be finished Sunday. I'll be on and off giving away supplies and materials.

[karmic whale]

they do exist

[indigo falcon]

was this turrets and drones and a couple jellies or some other one?

[indigo falcon]

anchor1?

[karmic whale]

need moar tho

[indigo falcon]

yeah they are piddling amounts. but short range teleporters... eh

is it a bit exploity, yes. desperate times require deperate measures 😄

[shy narwhal]

Yep with 11 roons

[indigo falcon]

did you check the log snippet right by the door in the first room?

[karmic whale]

the disappointment when you see yellow on your compass and then realize...

[gilded tiger]

You guys use Spotify while playing or in-game music?

[ruby fern]

in-game music

[indigo falcon]

it's never occurred to me to put on outside music tbh.

[ruby fern]

spotify wouldn't get more dramatic for a milestone

[cobalt shore]

Hey. I'm about to meet that whale thing. Will it try to kill me? I'm at Iteration 5. Do I have the worst behind me now?

[gilded tiger]

||it won't kill you. Yes the worst is behind. It's the end||

[indigo falcon]

you'll see!

[cobalt shore]

YES!!!

[indigo falcon]

hold fast, daring explorer, and break the loop!

[gilded tiger]

🎵 started from the bottom now we here🎵

[indigo falcon]

(and above all, don't panic. this update was released on Towel Day, after all)

[ruby fern]

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VScSEXRwUqQ||

[cobalt shore]

||I think Iteration 4 was the worst, most difficult||

[indigo falcon]

the anchor point/memory? or otherr?

[cobalt shore]

Anchor point

[indigo falcon]

great, I still have that left from phase 4 🙄

[hardy talon]

Is this bad? I do that a lot too...

[cobalt shore]

||If Hell existed in NMS it would be the Anchor 4 planet||

[hot drum]

[calm anchor]

It's bad for survival mode

[hot drum]

this, honestly

[calm anchor]

The anchor 4 system

It's cursed all over

[indigo falcon]

bad according to whom? if you're ok with it then it's fine for you, end of story

[hardy talon]

It doesn't hurt anyone else, right?

[indigo falcon]

literally all I need to do for phase 4 is show up at the portal and then do the memory loop

sigh

oh well, tmorrow!

[cobalt shore]

If you're done with the initial expedition can you still do the additional quests?

[gilded tiger]

Issa good song

[indigo falcon]

yes but don't die

[cobalt shore]

For Polo?

[indigo falcon]

you don't want the bug of "can't claim expd reward" to bite you by a death while doing something not required!

[hot drum]

imagine after all that trouble XD

[indigo falcon]

someone can test it after the bug fix lands

[gilded tiger]

It was fine for me cos I used minotaur. Game actually crashed when I reached anchor point before saving, would have been livid if I had walked

[indigo falcon]

claim the final reward, then see what death does

[cobalt shore]

But how is everyone going to continue to help breaking the loop then if they quit after they're done with the main quests?

[indigo falcon]

in a few days the new patch lands, people claim the reward, then they can feel safe to help

[cobalt shore]

I did the same

[indigo falcon]

in the meantime lots of people not done yet or starting this weekend, no worries

minotaur for anchor 4? don't the sentinels see right through that?

[gilded tiger]

I can't believe I actually saw ppl walking out in the open!

[teal matrix]

FFS. Ded. Agin. LOL.

[hot drum]

🫂

[indigo falcon]

nooooooo

[gilded tiger]

I never had issues. Even with the kill mission, they never attacked me, just stood there and died to mino

[cobalt shore]

They are die hards

[hot drum]

||totally didnt do that at all||

[cobalt shore]

Literally

die hards

[gilded tiger]

Addicted to pain

[cobalt shore]

Awww

[gilded tiger]

CIA torture must be a walk in the park for you

[hot drum]

i feel like everytime i come here i got really lucky in my run

[indigo falcon]

I'm not concerned about the weather so much as long as no tornado. just spam batteries. it's the aggros that worry me

[hot drum]

theres tornado????

wHAT

[indigo falcon]

oh there can be during any storm, heh

small chance

[hot drum]

omg

[teal matrix]

ya tornados. i went for some really fun rides LOL

[indigo falcon]

"extreme wind event" "fck fck f*ck"

[cobalt shore]

When I'm done with refining all the tainted metal I got as a reward I'm going to meet space whale.

[indigo falcon]

awww ❤️

[hot drum]

sounds like pain

[flint rivet]

so just atoned for my sins on the leviathan, i pick up the last phase reward but not the expedition end reward?

[cobalt shore]

W H A L E

[tacit silo]

who's the dumb dumb that started, got to 'DIE' and didn't realize it wasn't actually deleting my saves?

[gilded tiger]

I think anchor 4 planet had it. First time seeing it, got knocked over a hill, had to jetpack intermittently to survive only to find I'm far away from my ship and dying. But then Mino jumped next to me and saved me! 🥰

[tacit silo]

that's right its me!

[hot drum]

me as well

[tacit silo]

3 times

[hot drum]

i had three saves

omg

[tacit silo]

literally jinx

[hot drum]

i asked here in the spoiler chat i think and someone told me to wait and i was like

im on my third save now

[next harness]

These construction costs are killing me

[flint rivet]

anyone??

[tacit silo]

like huh that's weird nothing is happening... scroll up after 3rd death and see 3 different 5/28 saves....

[tired condor]

What do you mean? I might be that dumb dumb

[gilded tiger]

Wait, tainted metal refines into what? I thought it was just for the scraper? I kept it all in my freighter

[flint rivet]

refines into nanites

[hot drum]

noooo, i had many near deaths. i just packed a lot of starship fuel thing and have my ship fly to me

[indigo falcon]

known-bug-fixed-in-experimental-just-be-patient-until-the-fix-goes-live

[gilded tiger]

What's the ratio?

[tacit silo]

I mean your first expedition save doesn't go away, and you'd like to just go load that again lol not restart totally 2 more times

[summer oyster]

Apparently the optional milestones are not optional. A patch should be coming soon.

[flint rivet]

i think a stack of 9999 will refine into around 4k once its done

doesnt fully refine the 9999 i believe

[flint rivet]

ah i see

[tired condor]

But you still start over cause you’re dead right?

[gilded tiger]

Get uranium next time. Much more efficient fuel

[summer oyster]

1:2

[tacit silo]

yes but no since the die milestone triggers plus I mean you are gonna die thats ok

[tired condor]

Yeah okay I was just making sure lol

[hot drum]

yeah about that... i had a very packed inventory i doubt i had space for it XD

[gilded tiger]

Well in the end I had over 5k nsnites I think and nothing to spend on so wasn't a total lost I guess

[hot drum]

damn

i only had 1k

[ashen turret]

the kill sentinels thing isn't particularly dangerous if you go to a building of some kind for cover

[gilded tiger]

You are a brave soul to walk anchor 4 though.

[tacit silo]

i really like this one so far, though I am terrified I'm going to tipsyly jump off a cliff or something

[hot drum]

ngl if u told me about the tornado earlier

[gilded tiger]

I was in the open, I just thought they don't attack minotaur 😯

[hot drum]

i wouldnt have

[tacit silo]

might not be a play late at night expedition for me lol

[flint rivet]

dig a hole and let them fall in while u shoot them from a hole in a wall in that same deep hole

big brain

[hot drum]

i just hide in a hole if i can

[ashen turret]

yea, don't touch your jetpack in this expedition unless absolutely necessary lol

[hot drum]

and cover it up

[gilded tiger]

You got lucky! I only came out of ship/mino to save/switch and got flinged once. Would have died if mino didn't come get me

[tacit silo]

but I keep getting jetpack upgrades! lol

[flint rivet]

ngl its what i did most, did the reload bug to go everywhere and flew miles

[gilded tiger]

@flint rivet did you get your answer about the last reward? Mb I didn't get mine too. What was it?

[hot drum]

i got very lucky in this for sure aaduhdaudsj looking at this chat makes me question everything tbh

[flint rivet]

dont collect the last reward till the update comes, only the phase rewards not the expedition end reward

[hot drum]

wait what

[flint rivet]

say u didnt

[ashen turret]

you literally can't claim the overall reward yet

[gilded tiger]

Me too! Everyone saying it's hell made me never leave mino

[tacit silo]

I do feel pretty dang sturdy with all my exosuit upgrades and stunning blaze javelin but dang do I need another exosuit inventory reward to get more tech slots for environmental/life support protection

[hot drum]

what if perhaps u accidentally collected them... like at the guy at the anomaly...

[gilded tiger]

I claimed all at the expedition tab. Was I not supposed to do that?

[hot drum]

welp if i have to redo... i will just wait until its easier

[terse dust]

Is it just the final one thats an issue?

[gilded tiger]

I think they'll figure out a way to fix for everyone. Many ppl aren't here to get that tip

[indigo falcon]

fine to claim everything you can

[tacit silo]

I'd expect an update to resolve that based on progress

[alpine zealot]

A tornado spawning on top of you is one way to die lol...

[terse dust]

Huh. It wouldnt even let me try to claim it when I tried lol

[alpine zealot]

2 milestones left

[terse dust]

Yeah, I think Beeblebum might have

[alpine zealot]

Fk

[hot drum]

i wanna see a tornado on a normal save

[indigo falcon]

yep, fix for that coming, hopefully early next week

[gilded tiger]

What was the actual reward that's having issue, do you remember?

[ashen turret]

the frigate

[tacit silo]

can you get hit by lightning and die in one of those storms?

[ashen turret]

the final reward for full completion

[terse dust]

The final completion

[hot drum]

what does a frigate do

[tired condor]

Do you get one frigate to add to your carrier?

[gilded tiger]

Oh the fuel and that? I got those

[terse dust]

It goes on missions.

[tired condor]

Or can you get multiple of them?

[alpine zealot]

Yep

[hot drum]

oooo

[tacit silo]

so glad I asked now I've never had the misfortune

[terse dust]

If it's like the Mass Effect one, just one

[ashen turret]

or meteor strikes, or fall damage from tornados

[gilded tiger]

All I care about is wherever cosmetic stuff for my main save. If there are none, it's fine

[ashen turret]

or the obvious: hazard protection

[hot drum]

theres a meteor strike???

[alpine zealot]

Pretty safe outside of this exped with lightning unless perma

[tired condor]

I wonder what happens if you’re maxed on frigates

[terse dust]

Just the buildable patch then I think

[terse dust]

You abandon one, I assume

Like from the fleet menu

Yeah. I'd assume so.

[ruby fern]

NMS really needs a way to rename saves . after a few expeditions, the savelists is a mess

[tacit silo]

its going to be silly sending the normandy and a giant living starship on buddy cop missions together, can't lie

[ashen turret]

I probably should clear out most of my frigates on my normal save tbh, I never use 'em

[alpine zealot]

@indigo falcon I'm unsure if you suggested it or someone else. Closed down the application as i died by tornado. Its still there 😢 😅 😂

[tired condor]

I’m giving this expedition 2 more lives, I got max s-class frigates and limits lol

[hardy inlet]

cool ❤️ it makes sense, it's just a chore for the materials but I guess I won't need much of it

[ruby fern]

Listen Shepard, the Zergs are friendly allies. Don't make waves and be a teamplayer, for once

[misty sapphire]

It is easy to recover after you die the first time

[ashen turret]

I wouldn't suggest trying to do the derelict mission until you at least get some cargo slots

you get A LOT of the dust from one run

[tired condor]

What’s different about the second time

[ashen shore]

Wait, you folks don't run back to ship 3 times?

[hot drum]

no? i went in and out

[misty sapphire]

After you figure things out

[hot drum]

thats it

but then again i did it towards the end and thats it

[ashen shore]

I just can't wrap my head around how HG thought of implementing 15 save slots for all the future expeditions

[tired condor]

Yeah I’m on my 4th life so I’ve got my routine lol

[ashen shore]

But no way of naming them

[misty sapphire]

Oof

May I ask what killed you before

[hot drum]

🫂

[tired condor]

I never played permadeath

[ashen shore]

Sure, let me make a fucking spreadsheet so I can decode which save is which based on play time

[tired condor]

Didn’t know a ten foot fall kills you

An animal kiss kills you

[misty sapphire]

I died twice

[tired condor]

A mouse fart kills you

[ruby fern]

and displays a tiny savegames list, with only a few lines visible at the same time

[misty sapphire]

The one needed for the quest and again around the beginning of phase 3

[ashen turret]

Fortunately my first multitool weapon on the second attempt was the neutron cannon - works well

[misty sapphire]

That time I died from falling off a rock

[hot drum]

a mouse fart?

[indigo falcon]

you survived to continune on?

[alpine zealot]

I did, thankyou i really do appreciate it. I hit close application on my PS as i died. Seemed too late, but it worked.

[tired condor]

I must say though when polo gave me my hyperdrive the second time I didn’t have to build it, it just installed built

[indigo falcon]

can you do me a favour, was this 'home button, then select picture of nms game, then menu "other", then exit game"?

if there's a faster way I want to know about it!

[alpine zealot]

PS button, at the top of the quick menu is close application.

[tacit silo]

I'm guessing 'pull the plug' isn't recommended?

[indigo falcon]

hhhhmmmmm

[alpine zealot]

Holding it down opens the quick menu, i should add

[indigo falcon]

I"ll have to look at that, thank you

[alpine zealot]

I'd rather fail exped than corrupt my HDD lmao

[tacit silo]

bingo

[alpine zealot]

Quick succession 10 seconds maximum.

[indigo falcon]

10 seconds is a long time for things to happen to you in the game though?

[alpine zealot]

I completed that as the death screen came up and got away with it.

[ashen shore]

how the heck do you find hermetic seal at the beginning of the expedition

[indigo falcon]

um

[alpine zealot]

Yes and no. It can be done faster of course. Closer you are to death the less time you have to hit the quick menu. As someone else suggested, do it in advance if you think you're going to die.

[indigo falcon]

check the milestones and see the rewards, LoneWolf

[flint rivet]

thought of trying that if i ended up dying throughout the expedition

didnt

luck has been on my side in this expedition, im ass at this game

[ashen turret]

use the jetpack a couple times in quick succession, then go for real 😛

[ashen shore]

i dont see anything abt hermetic seal on there

[indigo falcon]

the problem was that "quick succession", not enough jet pack to do that 😄

[flint rivet]

i used the jetpack too much honestly, no matter where i was i used it

[indigo falcon]

"iterate/repeat"

[ashen turret]

it does work

[surreal wraith]

is our expedition save file kept when it ends ?

[ashen turret]

it's just ... not as quick as it could be

[indigo falcon]

I really struggled to die ata the beginning ngl

[flint rivet]

how come lol

[ashen shore]

oh i thought you guys were joking XD

[remote thunder]

after exp is over, if you try to load that save, it will ask you to convert it in order to continue playing

[alpine zealot]

I spawned on a cliff 😆

[surreal wraith]

i see

thx

[tacit silo]

so far yes in all other expeditions you can convert to a normal save, wonder if this one will end up being a survival/perma save though

[flint rivet]

how tf do i get the badge for leviathan expedition in this discord

[ashen turret]

oh, you didn't meet one of the neighbors trying to eat you?

[flint rivet]

im confused

[indigo falcon]

jet pack up, take the leap, yay shields down, try to repeat, no jet pack left, try to run to some steep area, shields back, grrrrrr 😄

[ashen shore]

oops i replied to the wrong person

[indigo falcon]

no predators in the immediate area no

I had to hunt for them later to make friends

[remote thunder]

not getting attacked for some reason.

[spiral delta]

Hey, so I just finished the expedition, I didn’t do any of the optional missions, except 1, and now when I’m going to claim the leviathan frigate, it says I’ve only gotten 1/5 phases done

[flint rivet]

shoot em, they think ur disguised

[remote thunder]

wait for the next patch

[indigo falcon]

post screenshot of final page, ping mods

[indigo falcon]

known-bug-fixed-in-experimental-just-be-patient-wait-for-fix-to-go-oublic

[flint rivet]

game is recognizing the optionals as ones u have to complete, they're community ones so wait for update

[indigo falcon]

need a keyboard macro...

[spiral delta]

Sorry, I’m brand new to the server lol, I didn’t know

[flint rivet]

like just a picture of the final screen? in what tab here in the discord too

[indigo falcon]

in the minotaur? is this anchor 4?

[summer oyster]

That has always been an issue.

[remote thunder]

yep, i'm inside the mino. nah, some other aggressive sentinel planet

[indigo falcon]

I expected them to track you in exocraft, is this not true?

[tranquil crater]

Man I love this expedition

[remote thunder]

afaik, that's what their behavior should be

[summer oyster]

They do track you yes and that's it.

[remote thunder]

actually

[indigo falcon]

huh. weird weird

[remote thunder]

they're not even tracking me

they're just bugged

[indigo falcon]

well take advantage I guess 😄

[summer oyster]

I don't understand why they don't attack it has to be a bug.

[flint rivet]

@indigo falconwhere do i post the screenshot

[remote thunder]

it might seem that the sentinel is moving

but it isn't

[ashen turret]

I wonder if they ever fixed the bug with not chasing you while riding pets ...

[remote thunder]

he's actually stuck

[indigo falcon]

here is fine if you've got perms

[flint rivet]

i dont oof

[indigo falcon]

is that a bug tho

[remote thunder]

as soon as i hop out of mino, he immediately charges at me

[ashen turret]

I have to assume it is ... since they can obviously SEE you

[indigo falcon]

well that's some new behaviour

[indigo falcon]

they can see you in a building too. and yet

[remote thunder]

imo, a bug, yep. would like to test other exos as well, just to make sure

[summer oyster]

It has always been a thing it seems not just in the expedition.

[alpine zealot]

Submit to the leviathan??

[spiral delta]

||when I did it and it said loop reset I thought i chose wrong and died lmfao||

[indigo falcon]

I have had the opposite behvior (ok we are going wa back to expd 3 but still): sentinels that are 'observant' refusing to get off my tail in the minotaur, any time I stepped on something "investigating, investigating" (in theory this bug has been fixed)

[indigo falcon]

and don't panic. or do!

[flint rivet]

i'd have been scared of that too but read it was okay here earlier

[alpine zealot]

Well, if i dont die ill sumbit lol

[indigo falcon]

break the loop, traveller!

[spiral delta]

||lmao, yeah I was like "bruh, i only died the 1 time (for the mission) and now i die after doing every single thing"||

[flint rivet]

liiiterally lmfao

[ashen turret]

||it does actually tell you it's not a death - when it happens||

[indigo falcon]

shhh spoilers

[ashen turret]

not before 😛

[spiral delta]

||does it? i didnt really see it||

||i was just so mad i "died"||

lmfao

[indigo falcon]

let people experience the full thing ok?

(ty)

[flint rivet]

also lets not talk about my game saying, 68 million units earned shhhhh

[indigo falcon]

😄

[ashen turret]

was more annoyed with getting trapped under someone's base after the event

[indigo falcon]

uh ohes

report that though I guess, problem solved

[ashen turret]

I couldn't even find the report base option - it USED to be in the build menu ...

[indigo falcon]

it's in the quick menu now

no need to even find the base computer

[thorn thorn]

To give away as little as possible the sound design on that last milestone is proper grand

[spiral delta]

Interesting, I saw a base next to it, but not a base on top of it

[noble wagon]

Giving out a stack of ai Valves, multitool,starship,exosuit upgrades as well as 1000 dust to people in the anomaly. If you've seen me giving them out and didn't get any I'm sorry. Trying to dish out all I can to help players complete the expedition.

[summer oyster]

I recommend #nms-lfg-or-trades

[indigo falcon]

here is fine too but that's where people will typically be looking I guess

[hidden mesa]

any advice on finding storm crystals? i've gone through 4 storms and haven't seen one

[noble wagon]

@summer oyster this is for expedition only.

[spiral delta]

I got them at Anchor 4 cause as I got there there was a storm

Use the analysis visor

[indigo falcon]

starter system moon Mapon VIII has them

what do we know about use of sentinel maps and rerolling to get the planet you want, anything?

[noble wagon]

It's random.

[indigo falcon]

but: should one jus tsave/reload and the planet will change, or move a bit and try again, or...?
