nms-expedition

[summer oyster]

I would assume it works the same way in the other game modes.

[hollow lynx]

is the final reward in the expedition bugged or?

oh fun

[flint rivet]

weird how i didnt touch the freighter at all throughout the whole expedition

[indigo falcon]

I've never had to use one! I've always found them in the wild 😄 have a little stash on my secondary save just sitting there...

[flint rivet]

i dont think i ever called in once

[summer oyster]

Oh I did about the same. Just threw stuff I wanted to save in there.

[indigo falcon]

just wait for the patch to land, hopefully early next week

[flint rivet]

i just maxed my general and cargo space in my exosuit and ship

went explorin from there

[indigo falcon]

I've been using the freighter constantly to offload things, pick up things, craft things in peace and quiet...

[hollow lynx]

hopefully it doesn't reset my save, since it said it will be converted to a normal save

[olive walrus]

Finally found a planet that doesn’t want to burn or freeze my ass off

[indigo falcon]

wut

[flint rivet]

its called the anomaly 😌

[hollow lynx]

well expedition saves turn into normal saves after the expedition, since this is the first one that's permadeath and the fact that i got a message of "this save will be turned into a normal save" is worrying me

[foggy cloak]

Yeah, because it radiates your ass

[indigo falcon]

t's supposed to convert to survival afterwards, at the end of 6 weeks.

[flint rivet]

wait yeah that's confusing

[noble wagon]

It will turn into a survival save after it ends.

[flint rivet]

ooooh okay, i was lost for a sec

[hollow lynx]

ok good then

[terse dust]

I only realized I had a freighter when I couldn't have the one I rescued five warps in

I saw it in the Inventory menu, I just didn't try to summon it

[summer oyster]

Same for me 😂

[terse dust]

😔

[indigo falcon]

I have a habit even in saves I never expect to continue to play, of hoarding everything. so I needed a container for free 😄

got that started right away!

[noble wagon]

I knew I had one the moment it started. It says freighter on the far right when you go to your inventory. It doesn't show that unless you have one lol

A crappy one with nothing on it. Couldn't even warp. So I was like welp I got extra storage. I'll take it. Lol

[tired condor]

Yeah I just found mine, using it as storage as well

[dusty pecan]

Hell the freighter even comes with the extra storage rooms unlocked to start with

[tired condor]

Sent out my one frigate

[dusty pecan]

just need to build them

[indigo falcon]

I have not built a fleet command room, dang game plays the fancy music every time I board 😄

[tired condor]

Yeah I just shot some roids and built one

[indigo falcon]

oh I have materials, I just... dont want to do frigate missions

[tired condor]

Yeah I just need to spin up some credits so seeing what the one stars get you

[indigo falcon]

ah gotcha

I'm good for units so I can ignore

[tired condor]

I keep dying too fast 😣

[jagged charm]

how?

[tired condor]

Stupidity and not being used to permadeath

Hopefully I got it out of my system

[indigo falcon]

I hope you are able to put a few bases down to help you get back to points of interest etc a lot sooner

[wary pasture]

Just walk. Take your time.
Literally the best advice I've been given yet.

[indigo falcon]

jetpack as little as possible, for real

not even melee boost.

[jagged charm]

meh

[wary pasture]

Telling youuuu

[jagged charm]

jet pack but always have somethign left

[indigo falcon]

takes to many tries to get that right, when sudden death and losing all progress is the price of misjudging, better to not go there

[tired condor]

Bases persist?

[indigo falcon]

bases stay.

use them!

[jagged charm]

...

[wary pasture]

Ofc

[tired condor]

Oh damn that’s huge

Do you just put one on each of the locations?

[indigo falcon]

note that container contents do not

freighter base stays too

put where you see fit, whatever will help you shorten the rerun

a drag finding a crashed freighter? put one there

located a sentinel pillar? put one there. etc

maybe at all the anchor worlds too, up to you

[jagged charm]

maps

[jagged charm]

gotta kill 20 sentinels anyway

[indigo falcon]

maps take longer. go find nav data, go turn it in, spam all the maps, ....

[jagged charm]

not really all you need it 90 nanites

[indigo falcon]

yes, 20, not all 5 wavs, and glass mightnot give you a location

[jagged charm]

buy 6 maps from map vendor

[jagged charm]

killign the walker does

[merry gazelle]

You can just leave the summoner Sentinel and kill the rest don't bother trying to kill all of or as ur killing them use the salvaged glass until you get a Sentinel map

[indigo falcon]

yep, but me as a crap combat person, with crap C shields, I'm not gonna survive against a walker.

[jagged charm]

i always did all waves

[indigo falcon]

and I'm guessing I am not the only person in nms land like that

[jagged charm]

all you need is a building

[indigo falcon]

no; all you need is a building!

[jagged charm]

or ship

or nothing XD

[indigo falcon]

and maybe you don't need that yourself

[merry gazelle]

I'm not fighting a Sentinel without my combat scope recoil is annoying

[dusty pecan]

yeah good time to do the 20 sentinels is on first checkpoint world after you have put down a base to unlock exocraft

[jagged charm]

combat scope?

wait people use that?

[indigo falcon]

the thing is that "this is easy, just do X"... if someting is easy for you, that's grand, but it is not necessarily for the next player over

[dusty pecan]

just shoot the sentinel from the safety of your new base

[merry gazelle]

I'm just pefer not dealing with recoil

[jagged charm]

oh not saying that

just sayign its an option

[merry gazelle]

especially with a Scatter Blaster it throws off my aim

[indigo falcon]

fair enough

[jagged charm]

you shoot in 1st person i assume

[merry gazelle]

nah 3rd person

[jagged charm]

Oo

does NMS even have recoil?

or jus inherent adv of PC?

[merry gazelle]

Some weapons have a recoil

[jagged charm]

never noticed

COD recoil i guess <_<

[merry gazelle]

If you use the Scatter Blaster you will see how much recoil is involved

[jagged charm]

i did

aim point stays on point

[tired condor]

I think you thinking more of muzzle climb

[jagged charm]

so..

well its odd

i know there is some muzzle climb but its so small i feel that there is basically none

[vagrant remnant]

yeah weapons are quite laserbeam-y in this game, which is fine. you have to account for spread on an upgraded boltcaster, and the pulse spitter especially, but it's not really too bad

[tired condor]

Well I mean in cod you get mad muzzle climb, in nms it’s more just recoil where if you just start blasting your shots go all over

[dusty pecan]

the muzzle climb goes up pretty fast when you add in +fire rate mods

[vagrant remnant]

i think most games call that spread, or nowadays i think "bloom" is more popular

your actual point-of-aim is constant but the shots are going in a cone around it randomly

[dusty pecan]

3 S-class upgrades and 3 high roll sentinel upgrades and even boltcaster raises like highspeed elevator

[jagged charm]

well good thing for people now all memory mods are B class

instead of the crappy C i got

XD

[vagrant remnant]

yeah actually, thinking on it i think that would be quite some kick for people not too used to fps games. i think some of us are just fps nerds and are used to it 😅

[wary pasture]

Oof

[jagged charm]

me basically play either hardcore game/rpgs/chill or rts

so happy i hoarded them 😄

[wraith parrot]

what exactly is the roguelike mechanic here...as far as I can tell I lost everything, nothing of my personal progress carried over

[jagged charm]

well that the rogue like

you start over

[vagrant remnant]

the roguelike is you restart but your knowledge of what to do increases. you also get some freebies iirc

[merry gazelle]

You get mods and tech everytime you die

[jagged charm]

form 0

[vagrant remnant]

like, you know, a roguelike!!

[merry gazelle]

But thats considered a rouge lite

[wraith parrot]

thats minimally roguelike

I expected more

[vagrant remnant]

let's not get too nerdy, it's no man's sky, they're gonna do a cool idea, but not go all-in on it

[wraith parrot]

having played other roguelikes & lites that is hardly considered

[merry gazelle]

True

[tired condor]

You found an S-class ship in expedition and bought it? I’m still in my pos starter ship

[wraith parrot]

its not that its hard

its tedious I just did a 15 jump from anchor 2 to 3

[merry gazelle]

I had to make pit stops for warp drives

[wraith parrot]

I prepped in advance but I just lost motivation because of this, I cant imagine 4 & 5

[vagrant remnant]

once again recommending people sell the junk they get and get a single s-class warp mod, it makes it so much easier

[merry gazelle]

Ehhh

[wraith parrot]

you can only get mods with nanites no?

[vagrant remnant]

yeah, and the nanite costs are mad. but you can sell the grey mods for ~500 a piece, ish

[wraith parrot]

I saw C class cost upwards of 1.3k

I cant imagine s class

[vagrant remnant]

i basically sold all the junk i got given and got a decent movement and warp mod

[merry gazelle]

I didn't really do much with the tech I just used some of them for the nanite milestone

[vagrant remnant]

i also compiled a list of decent damaged machinery tech rolls on the starting world!! but you'd need to navigate via co-ordinates to grab them

[merry gazelle]

It was hardly gonna do me any good on a permadeath expedition

[main harbor]

How do i smuggle contraband?

[tired condor]

Yeah I want to grind units so I can buy a better tool etc but feel like I should stay on task and finish it

[merry gazelle]

Destory it off freighter's cargo pods, buy it, or you can do the black market missions

[dusty pecan]

You coul just do a quick pirate run on freighters close to the space station

even in normal system raiding couple freighters should give enough for good multitools and some leftover

[jagged charm]

oh im done quite a while

well "while"

tip i cna give anyone is buy maps

look for crashed ships

[merry gazelle]

Most people have that expedition S class starship from the old one

Really gives you a boost

[tired condor]

😒

[jagged charm]

didnt use it

[spring basin]

spoiler for the calling the leviathan mission: if i did not complete all the missions ||should it matter if i press that i am ready?||

[merry gazelle]

End the loop

[spring basin]

so pressing ready is a reset?

[merry gazelle]

You won't die you will just "atone"

[dusty pecan]

well you do "die"

but you keep all your stuff

[spring basin]

does it restart expedition quests tho?

[merry gazelle]

But there is a bug that prevent people from getting the frigate there was patch release for steam but console players will have to wait

[spring basin]

im on pc, lucky me

[fringe agate]

In experimental only, it isn't public

[jagged charm]

forgot what i was doing

[merry gazelle]

Oh

[spring basin]

💀

lol true, my quest didnt get completed

nvm it had a delay

[jagged charm]

anyway think illl build a base in start planet

again <_<

[hidden mesa]

yo what did we do make sean mad? this part with the aggressive, extreme hazard planet just seems like he's upset

[fringe agate]

Too many memes

Can only take so much

[jagged charm]

so basically all Winders fault?

[fringe agate]

Winder is a contributor

[hidden mesa]

like I'm hiding from sentinels while it's 200F outside and the game is screaming at me to find my memory thing

[ashen shore]

Crane, feet.
Cranes with feet.
Feet on cranes.
Crane feet.

[fringe agate]

Sean Sean's Sean

[ashen shore]

😩

[jagged charm]

im hunting crashed ship on start planet until i find a decent one to make a base near

[indigo falcon]

there are nicer planets to wander around on, but it's your game 😄

[jagged charm]

its for the new players :)~

[indigo falcon]

hmm I think they might rather leave at once 😄

[jagged charm]

got a tiny base over a grave on rdv 1

[indigo falcon]

does it count though? I mean, you might get directed to a specific (different) grave each time through

[jagged charm]

idk

maybe not who knows

[indigo falcon]

I put bases at random locations on the anchor wolrds (so far), figuring that, well, I couldn't build near the portal, fine, and might as well keep them away from other poi

[jagged charm]

stupid pirate raids are getting annoying

[indigo falcon]

the key things to tag seem to be pillars, maybe mould + refiners (hard with stack size), crashed freighters, abandoned buildings, for people who want to find those ast

yeah the raids are a bit much

though on starter world t1 conflict there shouldn't be much of that

[jagged charm]

i alwasy get hunted by at least 3

[indigo falcon]

on the planet itself I mean

tedious

[jagged charm]

that

and in space

and allmost a freighter abttle every 3 jumps

[willow geyser]

they fixed it?

[merry gazelle]

Not entirely sure

[willow geyser]

i just finished the expedition today and i couldnt get the frigate

[indigo falcon]

the freighter battle every 3 warps is standard for expeditions

[dusty pecan]

it's bugged wait for patch

[willow geyser]

ah so the patch hasnt come out yet

[indigo falcon]

it's on the experimental branch for steam

[lament blaze]

how do i start up the expedition? do i go to the nexus?

[willow geyser]

u start a new game save

[foggy cloak]

you make a new save

[willow geyser]

go to mode select

[indigo falcon]

new save, choose 'community expedition'

[lament blaze]

oh okay thanks guys

[willow geyser]

good luck o7

little tip

die

XD

[dusty pecan]

remember jetpack is the enemy n.1 !!!

[indigo falcon]

early!

[willow geyser]

exactly

[remote pine]

damn, this has become my most disliked exp
Simply because of the difficulty. My eyes flew up to the ceiling when I checked costs for blueprints

[willow geyser]

XD

u still have to check the price for upgrades on freighters i see

50k per colour

XD

[dusty pecan]

thankfully you don't really need all that much upgrades

[remote pine]

freighter is a hilarious joke itself

[willow geyser]

yea i was grinding to max my set but tehn i said fk it and ended the expedition in 30 min

:P

[remote pine]

it doesn't have warp engine and you don't have a way to install it

[sick mulch]

Welp, that was an interesting expedition lol

[willow geyser]

was on the 2nd rendezvous point

[remote pine]

so, only seeking for a new one

[willow geyser]

u can

get another freighter

but still

not worth it

other freighter will have the warp tech

[jagged charm]

freigther always worth

[willow geyser]

erm not really tho :D

[remote pine]

not in survival

[jagged charm]

whut

im main survival

freigther is a must have

[remote pine]

well..

survival isn't worth of playing on its own

[willow geyser]

why?

some may like teh difficulty

[remote pine]

cause crazy grind

[jagged charm]

what grind?

[remote pine]

anyway was just my pref

[willow geyser]

i like grinding for example :P

[sick mulch]

go perma or nothing lol

[willow geyser]

well i do respect that

[remote pine]

salvaged tech and nanites for blueprints

[willow geyser]

XD

[jagged charm]

same for normal

[willow geyser]

u accidentally forgot your game unpaused

[sick mulch]

I wish you could disable the communication things

[remote pine]

normal doesn't have those crazy costs lol

[willow geyser]

storm kicks in zeus smites the shit out of you

[jagged charm]

neither does survival

[willow geyser]

permadeath run done

[sick mulch]

i hate playing and seeing stuff like "GO RUSSIA"

[willow geyser]

XD

[jagged charm]

exp is just special

[willow geyser]

wha?

[remote pine]

oh

so it's not a survival thing

[jagged charm]

nope

just exp

[willow geyser]

wdym

[spring basin]

someone got a base in a planet with hostile creatures?

like the starting one

[remote pine]

will the prices remain same during whole exp?

[willow geyser]

yep

[remote pine]

darn

[willow geyser]

when its over might go down

but till it ends it wont move

[jagged charm]

you get memory fragment @remote pine

[sick mulch]

just go back to the start planet

[jagged charm]

those contain tech

[indigo falcon]

can't you just go back to the first space station and head down?

[jagged charm]

now even b tech compared to C

[indigo falcon]

rowland-desk is name of system

[jagged charm]

hope final stage isnt X tho

[spring basin]

i dont even have the tp to the system in spacial stations

[jagged charm]

that be bad

[spring basin]

bruhh

thats why i ask

[indigo falcon]

Christole Oich is name of planet with the predators

[spring basin]

i dont even know how dont i have the teleport to that station

[sick mulch]

it seems to bug sometimes lol

[indigo falcon]

hrm

[spring basin]

just noticed there i can mark it

[remote pine]

okay, to be honest I don't get that at all.
they make an expedition aiming for "roguelike" experience, with deaths resetting all.
But in place of already not really fast pased progress, they put even slower one.
Is it logical? O.o
Like.. I'd think that if you aim for a roguelike thing where it's normal to die and just keep going again, you would rather want to make progress pace to be faster

[indigo falcon]

Incandescent Planet and Infrequent Heat Storms, look for bases that show that (for the starter world)

[dusty pecan]

I think the 10x costs are more to straight up get people to NOT grind for progress

[sick mulch]

It's like permadeath with training wheels

[dusty pecan]

you don't really need any of the stuff to do the expedition anyway

[indigo falcon]

they want you to use the memory fragments, not go out and buy your own gear

[dusty pecan]

you don't even need that much from memory fragments either

[calm flax]

They might want me to but, I want cold protection for the derelict freighter and didn't get any in the game.

[jagged charm]

you could also just farm animals XD

[remote pine]

It seems like Sean was just like "hey guys players finish our expeditions too fast. Give suggestions" so the employees tell "let's make it permadeath and 10x costs for bps" abd Sean be like "wow that's a great idea, release it" haha

[dusty pecan]

you get monitaur and nomad exocraft right on the first checkpoint planet which basicly remove need for exosuit tech if you abuse them

[cobalt shore]

What the fuck was that ending? haha

I was confused for a second

[dusty pecan]

and only realy combat you need to do is 20 sentinels and few pirates

[calm flax]

That's one of the 2 things I don't do in the game. That and pirate salvaged frigate modules

[cobalt shore]

Btw I'm done now

[indigo falcon]

and the derelict

[sick mulch]

Did anyone actually collect 100 salvage data to buy anything? lmao

I really just wanted the medium refiner but the grind is too much and I already finished

[indigo falcon]

yes some people have been apparently, I've seen some ... interesting... bases

[sick mulch]

I assume those people are on pc and cheating

[remote pine]

well tbh I'd like to get a personal refiner and some basic base parts. So it's silly they cost so much

[indigo falcon]

at least one person in here talked about it and they went and dug up all the salv data in fact

[sick mulch]

the grind is real, especially if you have low oxygen tanks and have to constantly re-supply

[calm flax]

I glitched going into a freighter after a battle and couldn't refill the protection fast enough. Now that I've respawned I don't have the hermetic seal blueprint. Has anyone else had that problem

[sick mulch]

I got a great deal of money from just the small frigate expeditions

[indigo falcon]

the milestone should pop up after a few, then collect the reward again

[merry elm]

im trying to start the expedition but it says expeidition complete when trying to create a new save

[indigo falcon]

(iterate/repeat)

[dusty pecan]

100 data doesn't even take that long if you find planet with easy to traverse terrain and high density of the buried tech

and use exocraft to move around

[remote pine]

and how many slots would it take..

[tacit silo]

seems to pop once you get back to ship and trigger 1/2

[dusty pecan]

grabbed enough to get solar panels and batteries to set some assist bases and didn't even take hour

[sick mulch]

you'd have to put them in your high capacity cargo area or they would fill up your normal inventory

or run around with the exosuit and throw them in there

[calm flax]

My mistake. I overlooked a milestone and hadn't claimed it yet.

[remote pine]

it doesn't appear right away

[tacit silo]

I only mentioned it cause it took me 3 diff saves to realize what was going on and that wanted to save you the extra worry past that point

[wraith venture]

@cobalt shore per the instructions for the emblem we do explicitly ask for members to ping Discord Mods.

!LeviathanRole

[unkempt kraken]

Leviathan role is manually assigned, when you DM or ping <@&233305774745583618> with proof of completion: screenshot of the Expedition tab: Final Phase: 5/5 completed. See example »

If you don't have proof, the role will be self-assignable in #roles at a later date.

[cobalt shore]

Ok

[slate mountain]

One of my iterations I bought the minotaur radar

[indigo falcon]

bedtime for me again, see y'all later!

[mossy night]

I might jump on in like 15 minutes to grind up a bunch of liquid sun if anybody wants to join dm me

[jagged charm]

hah

anutikon upgrades are cheap

\so basically hunting UW ships could be a thing

[sick mulch]

do the thing where you build a base, portal, fuel thing and just warp back to space station to salvage it

you can power the portal with 1 condensed carbon and then close the window and click on the activated portal to go back to the station and even if the light turns off, the ability to portal remains open

[jagged charm]

haha

so close to eachother ons tart planet

[merry elm]

im trying to start the expedition but it says expeidition complete when trying to create a new save

[foggy cloak]

are you on the latest version?

[merry elm]

i just reinstalled the game

(on steam, PC)

[foggy cloak]

huh, then you could check what version you are on, it may be a steam issue

[merry elm]

how would i do that

[foggy cloak]

I don't know much about steam interface

[tacit silo]

it would be in right-click->properties->updates

also, and I may be absolutely nuts for this, but I always run the experimental build esp right after an update or new expedition

which would be under the same process->betas

[merry elm]

updates has an app id and build id

[tacit silo]

a funny thing happens if you google that, but also, have you tried joining the experimental build and trying again? Cause otherwise I dunno, doesn't seem to be other people reporting that problem but I could be wrong, not like I really looked

[hardy talon]

Okay, so someone said "getting sentinels was easy I just did it in my Minotaur" ... I did not realize what they meant. The sentinels just don't even shoot at you... The hardest part is just targeting them...

[merry elm]

whats the code to join the experimental build

[wide flint]

Anybody got an ETA for the optional milestone glitch fix on pc game pass?

[tacit silo]

my brother all of this exists in steam, go to discussions and check the pins

but also, to prevent headache, its 3xperimental

[merry elm]

discussions?

[jagged charm]

best part the crash shiip is baad but the sentinal hive give royal MT

so win win

free ship to sell + hive

[tacit silo]

I can't guarantee this will fix your problem, but it is the branch with fixes and updates specific to the new expedition before they go to stable branch

[tacit silo]

?????????

[merry elm]

go to discussions and check the pins

there is no channel called discussions

[tacit silo]

in steam, which was my prior comment

[hardy talon]

Why would you direct someone to Steam discussion boards. Are you a sadist?

[tacit silo]

what happens when you select the game? do you see a bunch of tabs under the 'PLAY' button?

its literally where the experimental build code can be found easiest with no other prior knowledge than having the game installed in Steam

[merry elm]

i have the experimental build selected now

oof it still says expedition complete

[hardy talon]

I can never find anything in there lol

[merry elm]

im gonna try reinstalling the game

[tacit silo]

its the first pin my dude

its either figure that out or do a simple google search, I'm just trying to be helpful

[hardy talon]

If it's really that simple, great

Not a Steam user currently

[jagged charm]

@indigo falcon didnt find good ship, but did find good have and bad ship close to eachother

[tacit silo]

well cool then, have a good night

[tacit silo]

sounds like a bug report then, sorry you can't play it rn

[spring basin]

any system with a planet having extreme hazard?

[dusty pecan]

first checkpoint system has one

one of the later checkpoints has storm crystals too but that planet has huge steep mountains that are horrible to traverse

[jagged charm]

!power 73

[near lynx]

If the game crashes the expedition won’t be reset right?

[dusty pecan]

yeah

[jagged charm]

well you will be reset till your last save point tho

so if that 10 hrs ago

well

oof

[near lynx]

Oh phew I’m good

[jagged charm]

well for anyone i made a bae on starter planet, it has hive + crashed ship nearby

+auto feeder

[tacit silo]

not that the crashes are expected but they do give you a portable save point at least

[jagged charm]

hive has this MT

[tacit silo]

love a ball gun

[slender glade]

Anyone have a list of the anchor planets/systems somewhere? A search isn't finding one just now.

Is there a map type you can buy from the station that points to crashed freighters? Can't seem to track one down

[lethal plume]

Sooo... is there much point in starting the expedition before you've all unlocked the S-Class memory fragments for me

[ruby fern]

Yes, Emergency Charts , they can also point to crashed starships.

[flint rivet]

.

[alpine topaz]

Great gun. I got one from the pillar. Do they always come as a C class only?

[jagged charm]

yes

c only

dont forget to grab the ship

[alpine topaz]

Think it must be way expensive to upgrade the type

[dusty pecan]

It's not that bad since sentinels patch

you can get pretty close to 100k nanites per hour farming sentinels

[topaz dock]

So I’ll m ourpreit, how does one fine an unclaimed settlement, tired of following the icon to kill sentinels on someone’s already claimed settlement

[jagged charm]

wouldnt recommend during exp

[topaz dock]

Copy was kinda wondering

[dusty pecan]

well even during exp it's not that risky if you luck out and get scatter blaster or pulse spitter and some upgrades

[alpine topaz]

Sounds good I'm gonna try it. I found that u can keep disabling the sentinal pillar each reload hahah. Instakills all the sentinals

[dusty pecan]

since the sentinels you want to farm allso give shield recharge everytime

yeah even the sentinel pilar method gives nanites at decent rate if you have good load times

[jagged charm]

or use my tiny base near hive

[topaz dock]

Scatter with good upgrades, this guy rocks…don’t wanna lose him lol

[jagged charm]

it has a health station

[alpine topaz]

I got the worst multitools weapon upgrade.. I had to just use the mining beam to kill stuff

[slender glade]

With achieving the community milestone, does that upgrade already installed modules you've received? I wasn't tracking closely enough to know for sure since I have a mix sourced from lots of places now.

[jagged charm]

nope only the newly rand gen

if you had any mem fragments they will be upgrade to B class tho

[slender glade]

Hmm. Interesting

[jagged charm]

these were C before

anyway

[slender glade]

Ok... unclicked ones, sure. Good to know

[jagged charm]

1st RDv planet has 2 bases of mine

1 crashed hauler other has travller grave base 😄

[river plaza]

is the new expedition worth it

[tacit silo]

what else are you doing rn playing the game?

[wraith parrot]

Is there anything to help me progress faster if I die? I know bases carry over. Anything else I can do?

[jagged charm]

define worth

for me they are always worth it 😄

[river plaza]

is the frigate worth the me restarting since i died during phase 2

[jagged charm]

lol thats it?

i died in stage 4

due to pirate raid

[tacit silo]

sure why not? again what else are you doing? its a fun new toy to play with

[jagged charm]

the exp gotten easier too now

[river plaza]

it's just a frigate tho lmao

[tacit silo]

right

[jagged charm]

B class memory fragments compared to C

next stage will be A i assume

[slender glade]

Bases persist between deaths?

[jagged charm]

yes

[dusty pecan]

bases and stuff you have built on freighter

[tacit silo]

so make the decision, if you want to play the expedition than yes do it again, if not, don't

[slender glade]

If you wait a couple weeks it will get easier as well due to the community milestone progress making your future granted upgrades stronger and stronger.

[jagged cloak]

I completed the 1st anchor milestone but I don't see the memory resonator blueprint... is it bugged?

[tacit silo]

I also don't think this is materially different in absolute terms compared to other expeditions, plenty have already completed it and many more will flag off and not finish it, the new mechanics just incentivize the first behavior

since you can come back stronger and with advantages especially if the big research goals get completed up to A/S tier

[gaunt vessel]

I finished the thing but then it wont give me the finished expedition reward

Is that normal

[dusty pecan]

It's bugged wait for patch

[gaunt vessel]

Oh ok

Still an awesome expedition

[tacit silo]

welp there we go then, milestone 3 level, hit a sprint and a short hop in a storm by instinct and there I go dead

love it

[dusty pecan]

heh jetpack truly is the enemy

[ruby fern]

Is there a risk of losing it if we add the Normandy when we don't have a fleet comms room yet in the current freighter ?

[tacit silo]

as if to taunt me my ship spawned next to a remove the slime thing that gave me an A class movement upgrade like first thing off

[uneven sandal]

I died on a Space Station.... how does that happen?!?!

[ruby fern]

Glitches and falling out of bounds ?

[silent agate]

Is the expedition fixed yet

[silent agate]

I was worried about that happening

[ruby fern]

I had issues like that on the Anomaly station, some time ago

[eternal skiff]

5 hrs into the expedition I died trying to get into a space station

[tired condor]

I got to the first anchor point but didn’t bring any emeril or whatnot, what’s the fastest way from there to get that?

[dusty pecan]

what do you need emeril for?

[tired condor]

The structure

[dusty pecan]

the portal on the anchor point?

you don't need to charge it

[tacit silo]

partners in crime is 500 activated emeril can't you just like... un-refine it?

and also that you just need to be there

[tired condor]

Oh damn gtk

[dusty pecan]

do grab some choramtic metal for base computer while you are still on the planet

getting base down to get minotaur and nomad as milestone reward makes planetary traver so much safer

can't die of jetpack miss use if you always traver on a exocraft

[uneven sandal]

Y'all, I was halfway through! I'm gonna take a breather.

[silent agate]

Lmk if you want help

I finished the expedition can help some people out

[stoic dagger]

Sentinels done, whispering eggs done, it's a smooth sailing from here

[silent agate]

@stoic dagger storm crystals? 🤔

[stoic dagger]

Doing that now, but shouldn't be an issue with the exomech

[ashen shore]

I have been doing this for like 2 hours and literally cant find any storm crystal

[stoic dagger]

Checking on planets with extreme weather right?

[ashen shore]

yep

[ruby fern]

they apear only during storms

[ashen shore]

I know

I always wait for storm and go hunt with exo

[ruby fern]

you tried stoping and scanning from time to time ? their lightning icon can help

[ashen shore]

yes i thought that maybe it didnt show on the exo radar so i made stops

just bad luck i guess

Hey so 2 questions XD
1.do you need the optional milestones to fully complete the phase
2. do we actually have to wait for the full 5 loops to clain the leviathan frigate?

[tacit silo]

A) no. B) not eventually it is currently bugged on various platforms

[dusty pecan]

There is a toxic planet with easy to traverse terrain and storm crystal in first anchor system

[stoic dagger]

Just to triple check, you're looking on planets that have activated minerals on them right? Two hours just seems crazy

[devout stone]

Dumb question: will these glyphs be the same in a normal game? Can i visit these planets on my main save?

[stoic dagger]

I just completed it in two minutes

[dusty pecan]

only some of the planets with activated minerals

[ashen shore]

yes the one im on has activated cadmium

i have read the guides on this and just nothing

[stoic dagger]

And when you're walking around it says EXTREME by your life support bar?

[ashen shore]

I might try it there

yup

[gusty marten]

how do i get nav data

[stoic dagger]

You can find it from little glowing polyhedrons on stations laying about, or by checking in at planetary sites

[devout stone]

Or waypoints

[stoic dagger]

Yeah that's what I meant the word escaped me, thank you

[devout stone]

SUPER dumb question: can i get the glyph coords for the first planet? I want to go there on my main save and tame a mantis.

[stoic dagger]

Or thirdly you can (rarely) come across glowing cubes called ancient data structures

[gusty marten]

i dont see the polyhedrons

and im trying planetary sites but im not getting any

[stoic dagger]

it's random

you'll find them on the desktops and stuff

[gusty marten]

every single space station tho

[stoic dagger]

Most

[gusty marten]

im in the expedition

[stoic dagger]

Also you should be getting at minimum one every time you use a new waypoint on a planet

[near lynx]

Please explain to me why I died while I was inside of someone’s base?

I spent 8+ hours and died while I was taking a break?

[silver current]

I would recommend turning multiplayer off and pausing if you go afk in a sorta permadeath save like the expedition

you never know what happens when you are away

[near lynx]

sigh well time to start again

[shy narwhal]

Is it true that you can still reload your manual save if you die?

[silver current]

no idea I just was super careful so I did not die after my 3-4 deaths in phase 1

[silent agate]

Y’all having fun?

[summer oyster]

Not the save that you had before your death.

[shy narwhal]

Almost died on the derelict when I activated the security system

[silver current]

not sure, expedition done but have the bug where I dont get the frigate

[summer oyster]

I had fun besides a death.

[silent agate]

You completed the expedition, you don’t count

[silent agate]

You completed it?

Why you still want a frigate, go home

[silver current]

I activated it twice on my first try of the derelict, then game crashed luckily didnt die, then I was even more careful the nsecond time and did it

[silver current]

I am having the bug where you can't claim the frigate, yes done the expedition all finished up yesterdat

[silent agate]

Oh you’re talking about the living frigate thing — yeah, nobody has been able to claim it yet

[silver current]

I thought some people didn't get the bug

[silent agate]

Dunno, I’m jealous of those people

[dusty pecan]

It's fixed on experimental branch on steam

[silver current]

I am doing living ship quest on my normal save, the living frig is like something I couldn't have asked for anything better, want it so bad. The only thing better I can think of in the future would be a living freighter

[calm anchor]

Yeah, we gotta wait for the hotfix to be pushed to everyone

The giga leviathan

But nah

[silver current]

I m also surprised I finished expedition as a meganoob with under 10h haha

[calm anchor]

The living ship aesthetic in an entire freighter would be

Pain

[silver current]

I was shaking when I was collecting the eggs

I played mole simulator on planet 4 too

[calm anchor]

I just had all other goals done by the time I hit anchor 4

But I wasn't unscathed

Got fired at ON THE SPACE STATION

Yes I will keep talking about that because it's that goddamn absurd

Anchor 4 in general was just C U R S E D

[dusty pecan]

trick for anchor 4 is nomad

[calm anchor]

The trick for anchor 4 is only being there for the anchor and memory

[dusty pecan]

it can go straight up even the worst cliffs

[calm anchor]

Or just befriend a beetle to ride

[silver current]

I also got the crystals from there, using ship and about 200 uranium ^^

[crude pulsar]

hey ppl i have a question. i have a save from last expedition which is not completed? if i contunie am i get rewards? is there a timeline?

[swift birch]

I don't believe so. It will just convert to a non expedition save when you open it

[calm anchor]

Nope, blighted is over

It's now a normal save file

[crude pulsar]

but i can see expedition missions

[calm anchor]

Did you start a new expedition save?

[crude pulsar]

nope.

[kindred acorn]

is the Hydro fuel recipe for the Nautilus given as part of the milestones in this Exped'x?

[crude pulsar]

its says previous expedition when i select the save but when i open the menu missions are still there

[topaz epoch]

Found an awesome s-class multitool in the Expedition region. Instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/v00crw/sclass_alien_compact_rifle_16slot_multitool_in/

[void spruce]

So let me make sure I understand this:
I was at stage 4/5 in the expedition list, and died to fall damage from like, a small plant.
Now i'm back to square one, and have to re-do the entire expedition from scratch - but with slightly better gear this time?

All my progress in completing stages 1-4 is gone, and that's 5-6 hours of work erased.
Just want to make sure I'm not experiencing a bug or something, lol

[stoic dagger]

nope

[void spruce]

k, if that's the case, i'll pass on this expedition then, that's disappointing for sure - losing gear I can understand, but re-doing every step of the expedition isn't fun

[warm sigil]

Did they make this impossible on purpose?

[hardy talon]

Did you write down the anchor point portal addresses? If so, you will find redoing it a lot faster than you would expect

[warm sigil]

I can't deploy my portable refiner.

[stoic dagger]

it's hardly impossible, but if you aren't used to survival mode it's going to be rough, especially at first

[warm sigil]

How do I refine stuff then?

[kindred acorn]

yeah, normally I abhor the "hardcore" modes of games, there's too much to play to risk losing a bunch of progress in a game!

[warm sigil]

Says I don't have edit permission.

[stoic dagger]

Move a bit, your in a base boundary sounds like

[warm sigil]

The ship spawn?

[stoic dagger]

Yeah some jerk probably plopped a base down and turned off edit permissions

[stoic dagger]

I hate rogue-likes

But this hasn't been too bad

[calm anchor]

The point is that the expedition is going to be easier as community contribution increases

[slate mountain]

Yeah this expedition is very hard compared to the previous ones but hardly impossible. You just need to play careful

[kindred acorn]

Oh, a full Rogue-Like isn't that bad, as your progress is learning the class abilities and how to fight. the rash of Rogue-Lite mechanics in looping games is interesting

[gusty marten]

im not

just did one

[kindred acorn]

I'm just trying to figure out if I need to pay 2500 nanites to fuel my Nautilus or not

[calm anchor]

Probably

[gusty marten]

pro tip, you can back up save files

[kindred acorn]

rats, only crashed freighter I found naturally was undersea.

[cerulean fable]

Finally, started exp last night, just now got a personal refiner -.-

[calm anchor]

The inflated costs for upgrades is annoying, but for necessities is a bit much

[ashen shore]

Tbh id just use distress maps on a different planet

[gusty marten]

the absolute brick wall for nav data is pissing me off

[ashen shore]

Preferably one that doesn’t have water on it

[gusty marten]

how did you get yours

ive been looking for nav data for like an hour

[stoic dagger]

You get more memory fragments than you know what to do with in the end

[ashen shore]

I got a couple from the cubes in space stations, the rest from waypoint markets

[kindred acorn]

I went to a good planet, and the observatory sent me to the water one 🙂 but that was for a Relic

[dusty pecan]

good idea to check teleporter on the space station

[gusty marten]

i cant get any from stations

and waypoints arent giving me shit

[stoic dagger]

What do you need it for anyway?

[gusty marten]

i literally just did a waypoint and got nothing

[kindred acorn]

I found like 15 in the stations on the way to Anchors

[gusty marten]

distress map

[dusty pecan]

good change somone has plopped down a base on a crashed freigther you can get visit

[vale wind]

having trouble finding a outlaw station for the expedition 🤔

[stoic dagger]

If you're looking for a freighter just use the Minotaur

[ashen shore]

Was it a waypoint you discovered, or one someone else had found previously

[slate mountain]

I didn't touch the nautilus, only the minotaur really

[gusty marten]

what

[gusty marten]

idk

[kindred acorn]

hmm, mech time it is. I have enough nanites to give it an AI too 🙂

[ashen shore]

If someone has discovered it first, it won’t give you nav data

[dusty pecan]

there is another outlaw system 70 LY from the first anchor system

[vale wind]

🤔 thanks, ill see if ican find it

[dusty pecan]

named "Diplo Where?" iirc

[kindred acorn]

my 2nd or 1st jump was Outlaws 🙂

[vale wind]

🤦🏽‍♀️still new

[ashen shore]

Maybe I just had better luck with nav data because I did the expedition day one before people had gone through it much

But I ended up with 6-7 maps

[stoic dagger]

Outlaw station very early and I filled my hold with the freighters in the system, paid 8 mil off the bat

[dusty pecan]

pretty sure the first anchor system cartographer sells distress signal maps for 15 nanites each

[slate mountain]

Worst case just save up enough nanites for the minotaur radar. It can find crashed freighters

[dusty pecan]

unless that trade is randomised for each player

[stoic dagger]

I got the radar when I got the minotaur, it was a prepackaged tech in a memory fragment

[calm anchor]

Just get minotaur radar from exocraft memories

[slate mountain]

My final playthrough I didn't get it from memories

[ashen shore]

Hoping for a specific tech from memories is a bit of a long shot

There’s a lot of stuff in that pool

[stoic dagger]

I got an entire minotaur loadout that seems fixed

[calm anchor]

Ngl kinda just waiting on the community research to get higher so I can just make a bonkers build in a survival file

[ashen shore]

I mean that’s fair enough

[hardy talon]

The expedition save expires into a normal save? The difficulty can be changed?

[calm anchor]

It'll become a regular survival file

[hardy talon]

Oh, okay ... So ... are you going to scum the X memories or just go with the locked in S?

[calm anchor]

Tbh unless the rebalance of X class means that they made it so they can be no worse than like, bottom of B class, I'll just go for S class

I'm not super picky about minmaxing, I just wanna make a dummy strong boltcaster again

[dusty pecan]

well you do need to farm whole lot of sentinels for that too

[slate mountain]

I saw x class upgrades that were hot garbage this expedition

[hardy talon]

Mine right now rips... Hope I don't die ahaha

[dusty pecan]

the sentinel upgrades give adjacency to bolt caster too and can give very good bonuses by themselves

[calm anchor]

Yeah I know

Farming sentinels is easy

And fun

And it also gets nanites easily

[dusty pecan]

yeah can reach over 100k nanites/hour with 2 summoners

[calm anchor]

Even just going planet to planet picking fights is pretty dang lucrative

[shy narwhal]

I just warped to a base called crashed freighter from a space station

[silver current]

I made a base called "Crashed Freighter (Bountiful) to help ^^

[hasty snow]

Who else is finished with this one? And how long did it take? How many times did you die? Did you buy any upgrades? For me it was a total of 10h 31m, and I died twice, the 3rd time was around 7 hours, and only used the upgrades that were rewards for the milestones, along with some sentinel upgrades

Also I don't use any mods as of yet and no save editor

[umbral forum]

Took 12 hours, died once from accidental fall damage and once for the step, used only provided tech modules. Claimed one previous expedition reward but ended up not using it.

[gilded tiger]

Y'all way too efficient. Took me 17 hours and I didn't even die. Couldn't afford the modules so just used rewards, good thing too or I wouldn't have been able to afford economy scanner.

[vagrant remnant]

did it in 2:30, only died to meet the milestone requirement early on. i sold most/all of the c-class junk mods you get given to fund a couple decent s-class'. had a great time.

[hasty snow]

very nice, I'm really hoping they get the main reward fixed soon

[vagrant remnant]

yeah, fix is already in experimental! reckon it'll go live on monday, surely

[terse dust]

Only died the one time you had to. I did exploit it a bit

By which I mean, I redeemed two of my old reward ships so I didn't have to refeul

And for storage

All those modules really chunk your space, and I didn't feel like going all the way to the freighter

and organizing everything into a storage bin

[hasty snow]

I'd like to help with the community optional milestones, but kind of afraid if I die from something stupid while gathering the resources I'll lose it all

[terse dust]

I've backed up my save, and I plan on doing just that.

But I'd say only do it once you can redeem the finale, if you're worried

[hasty snow]

Yeah that's the biggest thing that worries me

[vagrant remnant]

can always make a new save if you really want to do it! you can start contributing basically as soon as you die the first time

[cerulean fable]

Just landed in an outlaw station, not quite sure whats going on here, posted in screenshots

[soft nymph]

Hey guys , how do I use this memory resonator? I’m at the second anchor point and it says signal too weak.

[terse dust]

Oh yeah

[terse dust]

That one's weird. I think it's in the middle of a planetary ring

[hasty snow]

@vagrant remnant I didn't even think about that, thank you I'll have to do that

[terse dust]

Things that are in that sort of location tend to have that awkward mist over them

I know one of the places I've been has that painful mist over the entire Anomaly when I summon it, so I dunno if it's another thing

[hasty snow]

@soft nymph you have to go to the planet that it wants you to first, then use it while in the atmosphere

[cerulean fable]

I went in and was really thrown off for a second, lol, but yeah, I think its in a ring. And strangely, we can walk in the air, if you look to the right behind me, lol

[soft nymph]

Thanks, trying now

[tacit silo]

Ok this is not ok, literally every broken machine and exo suit upgrade outside of slots has been movement this iteration, no 33% hp or enviro shields or whatnot I just don't even know what to say

[topaz dock]

Whale freighter is the main prize? What are requirements for prize just main or secondary as well?

[crimson gust]

I knew there'd be a living freighter involved with this update LOL

[topaz dock]

Idk just guessing my 1st expedition

[cerulean fable]

Just need to complete all the phases

[vale wind]

i found the outlaw station, got contraband now where should i sell it?

[soft nymph]

Thanks, looks like a overshot it by451 Lu

[tired condor]

Was annoyed by the permadeath at first but all the tech they give you with fragments honestly makes it not that bad

And the bases persisting thing is huge

[native bloom]

Ugh, all I have left is the smuggling milestone. Just have to find a system

[teal valley]

How far into a freighter do I need to go to complete the quest?

[native bloom]

The derelict? You need to get to the end terminal

[tired condor]

When you finish a phase you keep the awards but you need to do it again if you die to finish the expedition right?

[vagrant blaze]

Fuck this expedition bro

[summer oyster]

You keep the phase rewards for other saves but other than that you have to restart it.

[summer oyster]

Too difficult?

[vagrant blaze]

Literally trying to pick an egg up and I just instantly died

[slate mountain]

Yep

[tired condor]

Recently deceased 👆

[slate mountain]

Larval cores suck

[tired condor]

Bases at each point and useful planets are the way to go

[vagrant blaze]

I'm not doing that entire shit again

I'll just go without the living freighter 🙏🏾

[remote pine]

oh, so at least the bases stay?

[tired condor]

Yeah

Which is huge

[slate mountain]

At each anchor point people are making bases for harvesting larval cores. Use them

[tired condor]

One on each arrival point, and on planets that have they things you need

[summer oyster]

I recommend creating a back up save if you can.

[vagrant blaze]

True

[remote pine]

i wouldn't feel so bleh with this permadeath thing if it didn't reset the exp milestones

[vagrant blaze]

I might try again in like a week or 2 but that really just

Damn

[tired condor]

Yeah really reinforces the iterate repeat aspect

It does get easier every time

[vagrant blaze]

I didn't even get a chance to move I'm trying to get the egg and then next thing I'm dead I was like "are you serious"

[true bronze]

Is there a point to trading for a better ship given the whole restart permadeath thing?

[silent agate]

I mean if you don’t die then you get to keep the better ship

[slate mountain]

I mean it helps if you find a good one early enough

[true bronze]

Fair enough

You only have to die one time for the milestone in phase 1 right?

[soft nymph]

Yea

[true bronze]

Jesus Christ, this game is so glitchy... I was in the middle of trying to trade for a starship and all of a sudden it kicked me out all the ship's disappeared and it suddenly went from night to day

[soft nymph]

Inventory management is a pain. It went back to 250 limit. SMH

[true bronze]

Yeah, the permadeath limitations really suck

[soft nymph]

Everyone is doing expedition right now, multiplayer real bad

[true bronze]

Fair enough, on my normal game I almost never enable networking so I never deal with these weird issues

[summer oyster]

That was my death yep, have to strategize and be patient more with that milestone.

[true bronze]

I found a found a few infested bases so far. Were somebody sat down an actual base and built structures around the eggs

[soft nymph]

I went to a space station at 2nd anchor point ant ships where stack 3 high. Lol

[soft nymph]

Love those

[true bronze]

I guess what I should do is go to sleep super early and wake up early and maybe I'll miss the crowd

On the other hand, it seems like there's a lot of people in Eastern Europe that play this game because of all the comballs I find about Russia, Ukraine or using Cyrillic alphabet

So maybe that wouldn't work

[languid dove]

How am I supposed to find a hermetic seal in the expedition if you aren't given the crafting recipe?

[native bloom]

Check the phase one milestone rewards. I believe it's the third one

[hardy talon]

Okay. So, turns out Extreme Weather Events are dangerous

[teal valley]

My weapon disappeared in the middle of a derelict freighter

[hardy talon]

I hope it's easier this time ... Feel like it won't be

[shy narwhal]

Omfg died because I atonned for my sins

[tacit silo]

you.... have to die in your save, just how far did you manage to get without doing that??

[languid dove]

not very far

repaired basically everything

didn't leave the first planet obviously

[ashen turret]

I redeemed my twitch ships and expedition 1 ship to use - scrapped the extra twitch drops I didn't use

[blissful gust]

If I die after I've already ||submitted to the Leviathan||, will I have to start over?

[ashen turret]

if you didn't get the overall reward claimed yet - yes

[north mortar]

welcome to expedition leviathan

where murphys law becomes your entire existance

[analog vessel]

lol

[tacit silo]

I might just pry up my spacebar key while I play the jetpack muscle memory is too strong

havn't died again yet but had 2-3 loud gasp close calls that just make me feel silly

[topaz dock]

What’s prize for doing polos missions?

Just extra stuff for expeditions?

[sinful ridge]

You get memory fragments that give you upgrades or technology. As more people do the missions, the random tech that you get throughout the expedition is upgraded from c class to b class. It’s a community milestone

[topaz dock]

Ahh so should h e checked those off earlier, I shall remedy that now

[fossil jay]

@native bloom must be nice to be able to claim that lol mines completed but won't let me get the frigate

[ruby bridge]

I think I have a problem
I completed all the phases, and yet, the expedition says I only have one out of five complete, even though I have all of them complete

[fossil jay]

Its cause the optional aren't actually optional apparently what I heard

[ruby bridge]

Well that’s just lovely

[oblique rampart]

anyone know somewhere along/near the expedition path I can get into some extreme weather for storm crystals?

[fossil jay]

@ruby bridge yeah I feel the same way did all that work lol

[native bloom]

It's a bug that is fixed in PC Experimental build. As soon as that rolls out to public on all platforms, you'll be able to claim it.

[indigo falcon]

Known bug (can we maybe add this to the pins?) that is fixed in the experimental branch on Steam and will hopefully in the next few days land for everyone: https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/3395163747100062366/ "Fixed an issue that could prevent players from collecting the final reward from an expedition while there were uncomplete optional milestones."

[indigo falcon]

Starter system, moon Mapon VIII, acrid (toxic) world.

If you have the minotaur from a milestone already you can harvest those storm crystals from within it.

[oblique rampart]

really, the starting system?

[indigo falcon]

yes, it's where I went to harvest later. no aggro sentinels, no predators, just me and my minotaur waiting for a storm 🙂

[oblique rampart]

awesome thanks a bunch

[karmic whale]

This expedition is intended to be done with minimal upgrades to your gear. if you're struggling to progress in the expedition because upgrades are important to your play - I made a curious deposit nanite farm. It's on the Anchor Point 1 planet of Ennect, at +33.25, -49.41, named "Ennect Community Mould Refinery." 5000 mould per harvest, and 12 large refiners to spread it out. Reload, repeat... and maybe get yourself something nice after a few batches.

[indigo falcon]

name of base please? so people can look for it in the teleporter once it shows up

[karmic whale]

updated above. if someone's already there, then just go to singleplayer mode and reload.

[indigo falcon]

awesome, at worst it should show up in the teleporters after 24 hours even when you're off line

[karmic whale]

well, lots of other bases in the area. you'll probably have to fly there.

[indigo falcon]

hrm what's the limit on number of bases one sees on a planet in the teleporter list? maybe I should count today when I'm back in game (but then some of those bases are on other systems too maybe... so unclear)

[karmic whale]

i thought it was 50, but that might be made up.

[indigo falcon]

and most people won't be uploading theirs too. so they won't be in the count unless they are on line right then

[calm flax]

Is anyone having trouble taking damage? I've been taking damage in the space station. I just built a small base by a trading post. I was standing in it when it was like an electrical short and I started taking damage. I shut the game down. I'll have to rebuild the base but, that's better than doing everything over.

[hushed steeple]

I found a bubble lush planet with AI not too far off the middle of the Expedition route.

[summer oyster]

Were you in multiplayer and other player were in the system?

[calm flax]

I was in multiplayer but, no one was close to me.

[summer oyster]

If you had players in the system, then you might have taken damage when they were using their mining beam, it's a horrible bug/glitch. The player doesn't need to be near you for this to happen just in the system anywhere.

I almost lost my shields over that bug in one of the weekend events, I had to keep moving to do my best on avoiding the damage because I refused to disable multiplayer.

[calm flax]

That would be the same in the space station also?

I would prefer not to disable multiplayer but, I'm too close to finishing to take a chance now. I think I'll disable multiplayer for the rest of the expedition. Thanks. I just submitted a bug report at ZenDesk.

[topaz dock]

What’s recommended derelicts or converting rss to take care of polo fastest? Creeping through freighters getting boring lol but profitable enough just wondering what erybody else’s doing?

[summer oyster]

Lol I should have submitted a report too. You will be able to tell if the bug is happening if your seeing a laser somewhere near you.

[calm flax]

That's the thing. I don't see anything except my health going down. I'm kind of in a panic when it goes very far though so I might be missing it.

[summer oyster]

Probably missing it. To avoid damage like that quickly, moving constantly seems to do it.

[calm flax]

I already had to start again once because of my stupidity. 3 times because of bugs or glitches. Don't want it to happen again this late in the expedition. Already past 4.

[summer oyster]

I have done solar ray. Ancestor memories works nice too.

[dense basin]

I did them all a few times, and for speed, I found solar ray fastest (as long as you have a good pile of sodium on hand) I got enough for 2 turn-ins out of one derelict. I also got enough for 2 liquid sun turn-ins out of one deposit, and it's easy to bounce between deposits, especially in a minotaur. Memories don't take that much longer but I found them more annoying.

Upside of derelicts, of course, is that you also get tainted metal to refine into nanites if you want to pay those hideous prices

[topaz dock]

Copy & no I really do not

Lol

[dense basin]

I bought myself a couple hazard protections that I was glad for but otherwise, nope nope nope

[topaz dock]

Been saving whole run for what yet idk l

[dense basin]

I would have liked a weapon enhancement but I did okay without

I was lucky and got a pulse spitter

[amber elm]

the task of exploring the loop is carried out by the entire community, and until everyone completes it, no one will complete thе expedition?

[indigo falcon]

#nms-expedition message

[brisk nymph]

I feel kinda dumb for asking this, but what are organic frigate calf plans?

[ashen shore]

decoration

[indigo falcon]

base part

[brisk nymph]

Oh okay, thank you!

[wraith badge]

well AP4 is now doing my head in ... did it once no bother at all from the Sentinels along with finding the grave, also did AP5 and that grave only to be killed doing something stupid ... so here we are again and this time no matter where I land on the AP4 planet while looking for the grave I land right next to a sentinel ... think it's time to do some suit upgrading.

[indigo falcon]

ouch

[wraith parrot]

How do I take advantage of someone's whispering egg easy farm. I see someone built some structures around it but they're still as dangerous

I've already died once this expedition to them

[indigo falcon]

what does that farm look like exactly?

[wraith parrot]

Some cylinder structures with tubes

If I could post a screenshot I would

[indigo falcon]

that should be safe enough for you to shoot the eggs from inside it, no?

[wraith parrot]

I do but they spawn inside

And outside

[indigo falcon]

sounds like cylyndrical prefabs with connecting corridors

[wraith parrot]

Yes

So if they spawn both in and out kinda confused how to get away safely

[indigo falcon]

the ones that spawn inside, do they remain inside?

they should glitch back outside momentarily

if not you can help them along by shooting one

[wraith parrot]

Worried to test that theory lol

[indigo falcon]

I've done that. but ymmv, if you have no shields at all.

[ashen shore]

For whispering eggs here's what I did:

completed the milestone that gives minotaur plans
did a few fetch quests for Polo, opened up the memory fragments to get paralysis mortar for multitool
went to anchor 1 planet (I guess any anchor planet will do)
found the whispering egg, summoned minotaur next to it, prepped the paralysis mortar
shoot the egg, pick the larval core, as soon as horrors dig out - fire mortar at them
get into exomech, jetpack away a few times

rinse repeat

[silver current]

I just hid on roof of building

[gilded tiger]

I just ran. They don't really catch up

Screw picking up that whispering eggs though 🤬

[ashen shore]

That works but you would need to find an abandoned building in the first place

While each (?) anchor planet is an infested variant of a standard biome and those spawn whsipering eggs by default

[open burrow]

uhhh The [REDACTED] asked me if im ready to reset the loop? SShould I say yes? I'm worried ill die and have to start over again XD

[wraith parrot]

I tried mech but they apparently they can still kill you inside of it

[near lynx]

Am I a madman for just going to an abandoned building and speedrunning through the eggs there?

[topaz brook]

do it

[ashen shore]

Yeah they can, which is 314891395623957629731657913659716397561329764976135969% certified bullshit on HG part

[open burrow]

alright. just got some PTSD with all the deaths lol

[ashen shore]

Because they used to not hurt player while in exomech before the release of Sentinel update

I mean for fucks sake

[indigo falcon]

you take damage fron sentinels, creatures and hazardous flora in exocraft

[ashen shore]

You are inside a 341325 tonne suit of armor

[indigo falcon]

break the loop, traveller!

[wraith parrot]

This explains why I was confused

I'm not looking forward to the hazardous parts of this expedition. Looks like phase 4 mainly

Just a whole phase looking like to end you

[ashen shore]

Not at all, whatever strat lets you complete the milestone and not die while doing it as a bonus is a good strat

Note that we all are in different stages of the expedition, with different loadouts, playstyles, knowledge and skill of the game

Whatever works for you is a good start, all other mileages may vary

[near lynx]

I’ve been doing it for ages just figured why change lol. Obviously I was at least a little more cautious

[indigo falcon]

PRAISE ATLAS an S hyperdrive module at last (scrapped a cheap cheap S class explorer from pirate system)

[near lynx]

In this expedition I’ve fought sentinels that were annoying me, quite a few of those nasty egg bois, survived storms with no hazard protection upgrades, but I sit down inside a base for one minute to help with preparing dinner and I die. Classic nms am I right?

[indigo falcon]

wut

[ashen shore]

I shilled 10k nanites on 2 S-class modules from space stations lmao

[indigo falcon]

well I got an S pulse, shield and hpyerdrive out of that, really nice

[open burrow]

Haha kinda freaked out when I [REDACTED]

Expedition done. That was an intense 1st expedition but damn that was fun

[indigo falcon]

don't spoil things here though

want everyone to get the full experience!

[cursive coyote]

Nice! I’m working through mine still 🙂

[wraith parrot]

so i got risky and tried it

they can spit on me but I dont think they can attack me

[indigo falcon]

good!!

[wraith parrot]

is that normal? Should I be afraid that they can kill me?

[ashen shore]

Well, it's kinda in the name... Horrors...

[wraith parrot]

they dont get forced outside, they're stuck inside but they can spit at me through the walls

[indigo falcon]

huh

that's not right

[wraith parrot]

It doesn't seem like the spit does much but maybe they're missing

[indigo falcon]

keep going then

[languid dove]

Idk if this has anything to do with the expedition but I have 42% of my launch thrusters filled and it still isn't enough to take off? tf?

[indigo falcon]

nope, survival mode and crap upgrades

[languid dove]

God this expedition is annoying

[foggy cloak]

Yeah, its on permadeath

Its meant to be challenging

[native bloom]

Just be glad they gave you a sail ship that has automatic launch rechargers

[warm junco]

It did still cost 50% to launch

Fix that asap

[foggy cloak]

Why, its a feature

[native bloom]

You either need to get launch system upgrades or an explorer to reduce it

[warm junco]

Right I was just saying

[dense basin]

Ain't nobody gonna fix that at 10x cost for upgrades

ship fuel is cheap and solars come with built in trickle chargers

[foggy cloak]

Yeah, uranium go brrr

[open burrow]

I can see why a lot of people think this, myself included. This expedition feels like something HG did to switch things up with the normie playerbase. I just wish they incorporate stuff in all expeditionss in the base game since I didn't realize I missed out on a lot of content

[languid dove]

fr

like I understand it isn't impossible but as someone that only plays casually it's extremely difficult in comparison to like - any other expedition that I've done

[dense basin]

It's definitely several notches up from the last one

[languid dove]

mhm

also like - zero inventory space

[willow geyser]

exactly

[open burrow]

Hmm you can try hanging around Anomaly for a while. Some random guy gave me some exosuit expansion which helped me breezed through the missions

[willow geyser]

ooor

you could get them yourself :3

drop pod cordinates can be bought up from minor settlments

[open burrow]

that works too XD

[willow geyser]

but like if u are lucky u might find stacks of 50

[ashen shore]

You can still buy the exosuit slots at normal prices

1 at space station, 1 at space anomaly in each system

[willow geyser]

itll get way too expensive

[ashen shore]

If you keep buying them, sure

But you can get like 5-6 before you spend 100k on them

And seeing the prices you can sell Solemn Dust or Ancestral Memories for, this isn't really a problem

[open burrow]

I only discovered this recently. Like you can pretty much abuse this lol

I thought the anomaly was a one time thing XD

[wraith badge]

it is, per system its summoned to 😉

[warm junco]

Do we know when they plan on fixing the ending bug?

[ashen shore]

Not really, we know there's an experimental patch on Steam, but we don't know when the patch will go live to all platforms

Monday would be possible

[warm junco]

Is a holiday

In USA

[cursive coyote]

Anyone online wanna play the exped?

Just started

[foggy cloak]

They are based in the UK, so it doesn't affect them that much

[warm junco]

I'll be so glad when stacks go back to normal size after this

[ashen shore]

Lmao, holiday

[ashen shore]

They won't, this expedition will convert to survival mode save

Those have lower stack sizes by default

[warm junco]

Lame.

[indigo falcon]

devs are people too and need weekends off.... I think we can expect the patch to go live in the next few days

[jagged charm]

@indigo falcon saw my ping of yesterday?

[indigo falcon]

I think I gave a thumbs up (one bad ship one good one, something?)

[jagged charm]

base ons tarter planet

bad ship + hive

hive has this MT

[indigo falcon]

nice little royal

[jagged charm]

and on RDV one i built base near c class hauler

😄

why is the first exp im really tempted to redo again 😄

[calm flax]

Is there still issues with the doors in derelict freighters? I went to one a little while ago. Got around half way. Got to a door that I couldn't shoot one strand off the door so it would open. I even used the mining beam to open the doors with.

[jagged charm]

weird

[foggy cloak]

Have you one shot it?

[jagged charm]

never ahd that issue

[calm flax]

I had the issue before opening the door with the scatter blaster. Was told to use the mining beam because it was a known bug. Didn't know if it had been patched or not

I hate getting half way through. Having to take out security to get that far and not being able to finish. I also very much dislike this new weapon. Wish I had the scatter blaster back. Don't like having to hold the trigger down to build a charge then shoot.

[alpine zealot]

Not great but minor blueprints in those little trade settlements are normal price in Exped

[steady idol]

Anyone know, what happens when you die after completing the expedition?

[willow geyser]

u better not

XD

[willow geyser]

wait

die by the leviathan?

[ashen shore]

The issue is still present on Normal mode. As for expedition, I assume the same, but haven't checked it personally

[willow geyser]

its just ending the loop u arent dead

[ashen shore]

Since all tech I got is mining beam and blaze javelin

[willow geyser]

but its still permadeath so dont try anything funny

[steady idol]

No no I mean afterwards, did it all now. Haven't died yet and don't plan to but curious what happens if I did

[willow geyser]

you will lose progress

and probably will have to do every milestone again to get the frigate since it isnt patched

yet

sooo dont do anything funny till u get the frigate

XD

[steady idol]

Duly noted. no funny business

[jagged charm]

me doing monstrosity hunt for nexus mission

👍

[willow geyser]

XDDDDDDDDDD

why would you do that

XD

GameMaster: we live dangerously here mate

XD

[jagged charm]

also killed till wave 5 sentinels while am at

[ashen shore]

Do the funny >>> get the shiny

[willow geyser]

o.o

[jagged charm]

sentinel got annoyed me killign monsters

[willow geyser]

i mean i would try taht if i had any shield upgrades but damn

[willow geyser]

how the fk are u alive

[calm flax]

It just did it for me on this expditions derelict freighter. Don't like getting around half way and not being able to finish it. Already got the security and the captains log.

[jagged charm]

what shield?

[willow geyser]

wait what

how do u have so many slots on your backpack tech

[jagged charm]

got some sentinel sield stren tho

[jagged charm]

mods

[willow geyser]

aaa
