incinerator is also from my mod
still thats literally no protection
took me 25k nanites to unlock
only these
incinerator is quite effective vs monster tbh
scatetr blaster still better tho
MT no 2
@weary obsidian the only milestone taht will stay will be the Die milestone
also the base
as tehy said
so making a base on each anchor could be a good idea
cuz if u die
u jsut teleport to your base
and speedrun the expedition
ive seen shotguns that doesnt look like one o.o
haha
is that 2 handed?
think so
how many MT canw e own now?
I see, thanks! This expedition seems hard asf, I can't imagine the later stages, I'm just on the first lmao.
6
the hardest milestone would be the get 10 larval cores
also the derelicts
Also the constant unlocking in the inventory is annoying, really hope nms get the inventory ui sorted some day ....
I see
royals are really a pain in the ass to upgrade
quick question does the base stats go up when u upgrade a MT class?
The technology you spawn with also seems random every death right? I spawned with a really good jetpack one spawn, then the most basic one the next death
yes
yep
@jagged charm here playing Borderlands, collecting all shiny weapons and shit
also markingthem with bases
the more teh community loop progress gets higher the better the upgrades will get
Atlas bless
so the non hardcore players can collect
Don't forget that you don't have to do the milestones in order. You'll probably find some of it easier if you don't.
like i said starter planet has crashed explorer + hive in close prox of my base
Smart! That's true.
said hive has C class royal MT
I get the "cross-save" unlocks once Ive completed the whole thing or?
as seen here you can see how close
The storm crystals (stage 4, I want to say?) are best to collect on the extreme weather planet in the first system, for example
i even added mino base for safety π
And the aggressive pet to tame is easiest to get on the starting planet
Anyone knows of a pirate system near the anchor systems?
if u completed a phase u can get those across saves
open galxy map they are marked anyway
also see pins
Thank you for answering all my dumb questions lol, cheers
That's what this channel is here for π
wouldnt call them dumb
but we are here if u need any help anyway :D
if anyone need help
feel free to ping me
kinda goign around building bases and stuff anyway XD
Don't you need economy or conflict scanner to see outlaws / black market systems though?
nope
i saw skull with the shitty C class we got
I use the economy scanner. I just find a few crashed ships and finally get the economy scanner.
I just jumped around until I found one. There were two really close to the start
I have it open but I don't see any skulls there
Just the race icon and expedition icon
They aren't marked unless you have a scanner of some kind
kill a walker :D
not like they oneshot you :3
XD
I got Walker Brain from suspicious package
But I still dont have the blueprint unlocked
lucky
was gonna say, having mats doesn't help if you don't have the blueprint
u can get that from crashed ships
just go to the cartographer and hunt for some
u might even get some reall nie bp
orrrr, just jump to systems π
takes less time imo
I also made a killing because I found it early so I could trade black market
space cops don't come for you there so if you shoot up the freighters you get a ton of contraband that you can sell for $$$$$
easy way to knock out that milestone
chungus maximus after another victory
Yeah, always feels good to kill walkers
also makes the whole system easy π
Best way I do it is cripple them then hop on their heads and shoot once, and boom, they dead, and you fall in style
I mean you shoot their heads, the head is destroyed, so you fall back down
Oh yeah, that can happen π
in hardcore and perma we dont fall we float
never risk accidental deaths π
another tip for people here
nautilon scanenr is dirt cheap during the exp
only 100 nanites
you can scan sunken ships with it
wait what? how is it so cheap?
wild
rdv3 base will start now π
I understand the bug now <@&233305774745583618>
I've unlocked the organic frigate on my main save with nomnom since the bug is stlll unpatched, but I can't find it in my freighter's fleet manage screen, anybody got the same issue?
Most have from my understanding.
There will be a patch after the expedition no doubt.
Oh then idk my bad
But can't find it
the issue is fixed in the latest Experimental branch which will probably be made available to the main platforms via a patch Soonβ’οΈ
Did you backup the save before you altered it? As it may require more than just checking a box in order for it to be visible to the game
Yeah I did a backup
I'd restore the save and just wait for the patch
cobalt mine base
wdym?
To infinity and beyond
Infinite yeah
Or for ||16 seconds||
I dropped so low I'm watching Jason Plays video and trying to triangulate the outlaw system he's in
why?
Eh, could be worse
if you want i can taxi
Nah I think I got it
People build bases (mining) to help themself for resources or others. Not sure how long they last. And I am also nto sure if resources of mines are bound to player (if player dies, resources go poof).
Sounds great, never tried to set one up yet
infinite, can be shared, resources stay even if you die
Anyone know what the atlas cards we are getting from the expedition are for yet?
I'm just waiting, for me it is frustrating to finish something with an expected reward, to then not get that reward
Shouldn't be long for the patch
Yeah I think I'll do that
Even if I complete it now, I got work this week, have to go abroad... again...
Weeeee
Will be back on weekend so hopefully then the expedition will be all patched up
So maybe tuesday patchday? (monday being a holiday in US I think?)
Ah, sorry did not know π
Thursday of next week is a holiday for them iirc, so I hope before that 
and Friday
Yeah, it will be a 4 day
after you finish the expedition is there any way to recruit leviathan in another save?
once the patch goes live yes
you'll be able to 'claim expedition rewards' at the quicksilver vendor and get it
oh cool
So does you freighter upgrade like your ship and multi tool when cycles get completed?
Or did I break it somehow?
you freighter never gets any tech
it stays just like it is with whatver base parts you put there
also if u want one with a hyperdrive u could get another freighter
but still there would be no use to getting it anyway
plus more inventory if u dont have it
Damn. Would have been cool if it kept upgrading. Get a ship, multitool, and freighter s class for completing the optional stuff would have been cool.
all i want is a nice freigther as an exp reward
but are we talking like... fragments, right
wish there was a sentinel derelict freighter π
You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Suggesting
huh'
ship hovernig above my base. never going to land. hope manual save reload does something
whew summoning it worked, wast of launch fuel but oh well
meh launchfuel is cheap
do you buy it outright then? I tend to craft
that or uranium
So how do I get my loop progression to progress?
ah... sorry, I have 2 questions. I just completed and uploaded a screenshot to Steam.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2814237256
- So the last reward is not unlocked. Does this mean I have to clear the universal thing?
- What happens to the milestones I''ve already achieved if I die after this?
bug, fixed in experimental patch, should fix the issue with claming final reward.
if you die after everything, no idea at all
OK, thanks.
I'm afraid to restart, I' m going to leave this saved data as it is without touching it....
Another round is hard.
I don't wanna die. lol
The SchrΓΆdinger data
If you die do you have to unlock previously unlocked milestones again to be able to claim them again?
I guess no one wants to open that Pandora's box. π
So what is the deal with death is not the end? What carries over to help you progress?
finding an extreme weather planet with storm crystals is a nightmare
used nexus missions to collect activated minerals to get to these planets but there's no crystals there :/
any tips?
The bases I built and the interior of the frigates were succeeded.
Anchor 4 planet + Minotaur
Thatβs how I got mine
first anchor point of phase 4?
Yeah
nothing gets carried over, its a reset but each time it happens you get some "Memory Fragments" thats essentially proc tech lootboxes
been doing full loops of storm planets in the minotaur - getting a bit boring π
thanks mate - will skip to next phase then
Hmm. That doesn't seem like much, guess I'll keep trying to not die, haha
the auto feeder is ncie but the collector dosnt collect ancestral mem
oh
bugger jsut spent a load of nanites o na cadmium drive lol
i see, nice, ty
aye, i remember, but missed the part where you said it didn't work for ancestral memories
livestock unit, i mean
Hey do we get the frigate once all loops are complete or is it a bug that we cannot claim it yet?
Known bug, fixed in experimental. Next public patch will have it, hopefully soon.
Hehehe
Guess I'll have to wait.
well i've been doing derelict on every rdv haven;t found agood one yet
How many memories does it yield per minute/hour?
Btw what happens if you die after completing the expedition?
The medium-refinery that I unlocked and built in the first round was a big help in the following round. Also a teleport gate inside the Freighter.
If you build a base in a star system with an anchor point, you can fly there from the gate. (Warp Cells can be saved)
and I regretted that I didn't build a Heart station in the Freighter.
we don't know
whatever you want @cobalt shore
We don't?!
just dont die
i might make a v2 save
and do the whole exp again XD
wanna see if i see my own bases π
Because I'd still like to help out with the loop and collect stuff to give to Polo but I don't want to die and risking having to do it all over again
WELL
damn that's useful.
You can AFK farm Somnal Dust.
Rich reading that in a game where people can build planetary Indium harvesters.
i mean just being afk in anomaly isnt really a "strat"
building a farm is also a diff story
What do you mean with AFK in anomaly?
how als do you afk farm somal dust?
Loop progression to the moon!
lol
π€£
~100 dust/minute, risk-free.
Enjoy.
Wait there's a storm crystal quest?
I might have thrown away some
Yes there is

You can find Storm Crystals at anchor 4 planet
Or the toxic planet in anchor 1 system
does anyone know if the memory loop locations are the same on each round or do they change each time?
wdym
like the fallen traveller grave?
punch the shit out of that computer
XD
It just works. :3
Yep, pretty sure they are referring to the locations you find with the Memory Resonator
i think they are random
because i dont remember someone building anything around the ones i found
and thats quite unlikely as far as i know XD
Same observation here
Wondering if these change locations if you die and have to run them again
I kinda suspected those locations may be random, but good to know, doing my 2nd run at this expedition now
no I mean: if you repeat, do you get the same location each time
I assume they are scattered for different players
oh ye thats true i even tried reloading autosave
<@&233305774745583618> Almost forgot. I completed.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2814237256
normally u post it on #nms-photomode-gallery
but good job
Just got the first optional milestone completed, so now fragments are B class it said
!leviathanrole
Leviathan role is manually assigned, when you DM or ping <@&590975379678953522> with proof of completion: screenshot of the Expedition tab: Final Phase: 5/5 completed. See example Β»
If you don't have proof, the role will be self-assignable in #roles at a later date.
Maybe not anywhere, but I dont see problems posting it in either general, expedition or screenshot channels
thanks π
The Lord hath spoken
oh holy crap this is good
if you scanned all the creatures on a world one run, they stay scanned by you, just collect the nanites
bam
So you don't loose too much items / progress
yeah I did a few and then had to die π
Well, welcome to the club
nice.
that's real nice actually.
it sure is
omg in this respawn my ship is on a huge mountain ;-;
feels rewarding in a fresh way, doesn't it?
took a bad fall on anchr 4, didn't have the minotaur down someplace... going back through it all now
well
I have low tolerance for redos, generally in game play
Same, had to jetpack all the way up for over a minute
this is probably one reason I dislike regetting salv data on a new save....
Recharged hazard 2 times on the way up
meh might as well die to get a better ship place lol
I also started this expedition by other traveler are going die, and going to find high altitude for my self.
This is the Leviathan Club, maybe.
I wished the "die" step was listed as the first one in phase one. I ended up doing it just before completing the phase.
ok I didn't realize that the memory fragments that are "prepackaged X" can be sold for nanites, I get a lot of dups and such, also useful
I thought only the actual ones that turned into modules and not tech could be sold for nanites
Would have been nice if the game kept track of the ones you have installed so that duplicates don't show up too often.
I think I got like 5 optical drills.
But never got cold hazard protection, which made the freighter steps very painful.
so
can we make manual saves and quit the game?
or does that also reset progress π
I never do manual saves.
that's risky, but there might be a reason why not.
well if you die your auto save is over written
though i don't see it.
No, I just got into one of the canyons on the anchor 4 planet
And didnt feel like jetpacking to surface...
Again...
should make an exocraft as top priority I guess
First thing I did after reaching the first space station was to get a good mount.
it's nice they gave a freighter for free lol
Got some ugly platypus-thing from the nearest toxic planet, but that one carried my game.
They can climb mountains up and down with almost no risk.
And are faster than flying pets.
I didn't summon my freighter a single time. Not much to do with them in the expedition and they have too many bugs to risk
Since we only get the Nomad midgame and we can't reliably get movement modules, this expedition made pets feel really necessary for me.
great to offlaod junk
land, offload, and exit
I used the minotaur a LOT this expedition
but never really had issue with freigher
yeah that thing is crucial
Yup, especially on the anchor planets
I used it twice. One for the storm crystals and the other to escape aggressive sentinels.
Most of times I just relied on the pet mount since you can use the scanner while riding them.
ummmm
Yes
Really? Someone said different earlier
I'll have to double check then
I'd guess you can't since the save is still the same.
Might as well just create a new save it doesn't work.
That would make sense ofc, but it is NMS after all
Where you can punch a computer for infinite somnal dust.
Cool they made the nexus icon gold? π
Where you can hoard a dozen cull creature missions and complete all of them killing only a fraction of the animals.
Is the final reward fixed yet
How's Milestone 2 program?
I heard from someone else that they were able to claim twitch rewards multiple times so.... dunno
do the optional milestones persist after death?
In experimental
?
Because they apply the upgrade upon collection
So if you collect other rewards first you get C tier stuff.
just lost my progress because it turns out the cloak doesn't actually WORK to make mobs not be able to see/kill you =_=
I've done everything just waiting for them to fix their game
So I can claim my leviathan
Is there any way to destroy the 20 sentinels without it turning into a hootenanny of DEATH lol?
It's fixed in experimental Steam branch. Just have to wait for it to roll out to public on all consoles
The bug is fixed just need to release the patch when people are in office
Got ya cool beans. Also what holiday?
You can try to snipe them out and retreat every few kills
So you don't proc the 2nd wave
Memorial Day
Find a base next to a sentinel pillar, deactivate sentinels to claim kills, reload save, repeat
Oh wow I'm bad with dates
Thanks, Iβll give that a go
Lol I forgot too
Cheers π
I used my Minotaur
They like don't do anything to you in Minotaur it's totally broken
fight near a building
Hardest part is just aiming in Minotaur lol
when you get low hop inside
Also I have a base next to a sentinel pillar on the anchor 2 world
I did that, but it still ended in catastrophe lol
I destroyed the first wave, hid in shelter, waited for the Sentinel to calm down, destroyed them again.
build one on starter planet
There's a few others named like that as well
? how they dont follow inside
No, I went out for another go and got ambushed by bloody pirates haha π
Don't hide in a building - just hide in your Minotaur
You can still shoot and they do nothing to you
Just swarm and hug you
The optional milestones don't "persist" at all - they're not related to your personal contributions.
yeah pirate are a pain
lmao
they removed the multi tools from the twitch rewards in the expedition
nice π
what makes you say that
I like the pirates. I often wait for them to scan my cargo so that I can get free suspicious goods delivered to my doorstep.
I didn't have any problem redeeming mine
Yeah it's just a pirate farm!
Good thing they fixed the pirate attacks since the previous event.
I died in a really stupid way last night, gotta start over today
They came every 2 or 3 minutes while on the planet surface.
yeah, ||your curse|| doesn't like new gadgets
only thing I unlocked at the anomaly was the hazmat gauntlet and personal refiner
You get lots of gadget from the expedition itself though
Same.
those nanite costs are insane
Indeed. I sold memories to buy a S class hyperdrive upgrade
I got the gauntlets from something but I still have to unlock them in order to gain access to the personal refiner π¦
Cause otherwise it would have been 25 jumps...
I farmed Korvax NPCs and got like 3 C-class hyperdrive modules before I left the first system. Which was a also why I never found the outlaw system until the end of the expedition.
I had gotten quite a few hyperdrive upgrades from the memories fairly early on, so it was single jumps between anchor points after the first one
or maybe was the second
Wait... how?
Ok the derelic tin Anchor Point 3 is really easy
I also stopped using the starter ship as soon as I got to the anomaly
just turrets and drones
cool someone made a space base in the expedition lol
I also have no clue why my screens are so blurry π
Hey, i landed there too
I didn't even do the derelict part until the mission for the ... story-related ... one
Every expedition starts with zero vocabulary for all languages and the Korvax like to give nanites and technology upgrades when they like the interaction from the language skill practice.
Ah!
So if you learn only a limited set of vocabulary (e.g. 3 technology-related words), it almost guarantees you will have good interactions with them.
So talk to them and reload if you fail?
It's important to learn just a few words because the more words you learn, the lesser is the chance you will get good words (e.g. technology-related words with Korvax, trade-related words with Gek) to practice, which can lead to poor interactions.
Ah! clever trick
Whether you want to reload is up to you, but I don't find it necessary.
Since I need to keep vocabulary controlled and limited to only the words I want to have shown in my practice language skills options, I avoid interacting with any knowledge stones.
Vykeen often gives you ion batteries, Gek usually give you units or commodity tradeables and the Korvax give you nanites and tech modules.
Exactly like mine.. I couldn't get any weapons other than that bolt caster..
Vykeen like aggressive words as much as they hate them so I wouldn't recommend farming them unless you are starved for supplies.
||I was spawned on some planet with everything I had before selecting the option||
Ah i seee. Let's find out then
One warning though.
||Some dumbass built a base on top of the spawn place. Since you can't edit other people's base terrain, you might end up stuck under it.||
I called my ship over and hopped in, so that saved my ass.
But I don't know what I could have done if it didn't have fuel before I chose the option.
you can report the base
I did that.
and the base should have disappepared for you
Good idea. Yeha I thought the same about the launch fuel!
I'd still like to know who the hell did that...
Can you report bases if you can't see the base computer?
Crazy whoever did manage to trap ppl like that
had to wait for my f'n launch thrusters to recharge before I could get out ...
As in u got the auto recharge module?
The starter ship has built-in recharging.
But people who changed ships could have ended up stuck.
I ended up with 2 of them, I installed the first one on my golden vector, and put the other one on one of the haulers from twitch drops
and I stopped using the starter ship as soon as I got to the anomaly
Definitely sucks getting stuck. Di hydrogen is so annoying to keep finding
I kept it because of the thruster recharger from the Vesper sail.
Good one. Yeha I sold my solar but luckily got another charger on my other ship
Could dogfight everything with the starting photon cannon and is decently maneuverable.
Would have switched if I could reliably get launch thruster recharger tech.
Some dogfights are just making my head spin.. Like they just kept going in a loop the loop and I can't turn fast enough.. So gotto go the opposite direction
but you absolutely NEED SPACE on this expedition
You know you can turn faster if you fly backwards right?
I should try. But my back S just auto chases the enemy
There must be another key lmao
I changed the chase button to the same control for pulse drive instead
Didn't even know there was a chase button.
there wasn't until outlaws
Oh.
what does that do
it makes it auto lock on to the pirates afaik
ohh that thing
its rly annoying bcuz its defaulted to the moving backwards button
I unset the toggle for it
didnt even know you could change it so imma change it later lol
memory fragment: I got an "environmental control unit"... for the minotaur. wtf
lol
loool
these game devs, giving out old crufty obsolete tech π
yeah but no plans to build the nomad, so...
you get the nomad blueprint...
^
I got the plans for it and it doesn't seem useful in this expd
An all-terrain, all-weather Nomad would be an asset.
also ended up with an AI pilot for minotaur at random, too
I'd love to free up some space on my main save Pilgrim replacing 4 hazard immunity techs with just one. It would open space to add a laser turret and the recharger on it.
sell the dups for nanites
my nomad on my main save only has 1 slot open for items
Exocraft storage upgrades would be so good.
Or just add a cargo tab on them too like how they did it with ships.
did.
I have 2 of the grip mods installed on most of my exocrafts in normal
btw will repeat again derelict on anchor point 3 is easy
oly turrets and drones
7 rooms
but why bother, and do both milestones at once on the story one
I wished I could install grip mods on the Minotaur. I hate how it slides.
well it doesn't have wheels, so ...
I can count on more than two hands the number of times I ran over Storm Crystals trying to collect them.
It also slides downhill when climbing up mountains.
A tighter turn rate mod while flying would be nice too.
just wait to do it on the story mission lol
You'll have a bad time if you are under-prepared.
And never use plasma launchers/geocannon.
Stock up on ion batteries.
don't need those if you have a lot of sodium / nitrate
You can find some sodium capsules along the way
do you mean the loop research : somnal dust task?
And the heaters
You don't even need to breach the freighter to get the dust.
You don't need some special equipment for derelicts, just materials to recharge cold hazard protection and lots of time
To walk slowly pass the infestation nests
As for turrets and drones - I can't elaborate
avoid the scan beams on turrets
Boltcaster sucks against turrets. Make sure you have the scatter blaster to use against them.
I guess I just like conventional munitions better lol
Blaze javelin in a derelict was eh
can get away with a mining beam on normal, not on survival or permadeath
I didn't have many upgrades tho
Ah the loop research missions just repeat?
so i dont need to get the dust persay?
You need to do a total of 5 turn ins to complete the expedition
Beyond that is just to help the community goal
Yeah I was kinda freaking out in the derelict freighter. Had to keep going back to the heaters.
And the boltcaster sucked bad. I just avoided the detectors.
And shot some sential orbs
Hey guys, things like leviathan or other stuff i get in expedition, i can use in my main save?
Typically, the main phase rewards are claimable in all saves
There are a few exceptions
Can i see somewhere the main rewards?
Hover over the claim icon at the bottom of each phase
Or visit Quicksilver vendor
Okay, thanks.
I don't understand why your starter freighter doesn't have a hyperdrive though
It's a space potato.
intentionally making a base on top of an ancient ruin on the expedition world should be a crime
I am livid

can you fall from heights with the minotaur?
or do you take falling damage as well then
ok just confirmed: took a huuuuge ass leap on anch4 in minotaur, sitll healthy and well
whew
I donβt believe you can take fall damage in any exocraft
but how are you planning on getting back up lol
Can anyone help me find a crashed freighter for the expedition
it's not like they're hard to find lol
So if they aren't hard to find you must have a location
Minotaur scanner can scan for crashed freighters
Dunno if you need the upgrades for that
Otherwise, emergency maps from space station's cartographer
Go to a world with no ocean (swimming takes forever and that exocraft ain't all that fast), pick a direction, boost. Eventually you'll stumble on one if you're in a system that isn't uncharted or abandonned.
thanks π
most of the time I just go to a planet and fly around for a minute or 2, usually run into one quick
They're pretty large and hard to miss so it might be the only time that just looking for stuff in-atmo is viable
more often than not I find it without even starting to look for it though
Also, i can't confirm this but i've found some more frequently on rad or tox biomes
Might be confirmation bias tho i'm fairly sure all biomes have the same spawn rate for these
But then when it's time to look for one is nowhere to be found
I warped to a base named 'crashed freighter' from a space station
no, I literally pulsed to a planet from the space station and it was directly below me
wow T2 already at 40%
Anchor 2 system is not outlaw
There is one nearby though, 96 LY away, Vykeen controlled
no I meant
the second system after the starting system
the one that was on my warp point to the first anchor at least
welp. m inotaur got stuck on wall surface, luckily I had an autosave at a good point (and a manual one if it comes down to it)
any tips for finding a predator for a companion?
starting world has two, one is a strider
have pellets ready via quick menu, lob one from a bit away, interact, done
You only have one save slot in permadeth mode.
Yeah, i remember a planet with many, but that was many systems back
or just hold the interact button as it runs at you
oh, i can just portal back, duh!
LMAO
I got stuck while landing in the outlaw space station
but could warp to the next system
and while warping, the space station was warping with me in the animation π
that was super hilarious
it gave me two options, an autosaev and a manual for reloading (wasn't dead, just stuck)
screenshot or it didnt happen
didn't screen soz
aw π¦
Before I make this jump...do you take fall damage in the minotaur?
no
DYNAMIC ENTRY.
landing with style
nice
not sure if it's just me, but I finished all the Phases of the expedition, and they show complete on the Final Loop tab, but it's not unlocking the frigate reward?
is this due to the optional goals not being completed (community goal)
!fixed
Known bug, fixed in experimental. Next public patch will have it, hopefully soon.
oh ok cool, phew!
still gonna work on community goals to help folks still going through to get better mods as they play
Got tired of typing it lol, height of laziness
LOL
Nice!
apologies, I didn't scroll back up to read cause also... laziness
No worries π
but thank you! I was really worried lol
lol nice
only died twice, so it's possible folks! hang in there!
still trying to get to anchor 4. grrrr. don't need to get stuck on cliff walls again and have to reload, it's not helpful
oof
Ugh... I died yesterday, almost after making it to ancher point 3. Smh!!
I have died once on anchor 4, much earlier in the day, cliff fall
now I have a base with minotaur but even so
Base in anchor 4? Y u do dis?
The worst.. I really have to to convince myself to start again
Before i toss myself into this, can you still use black holes in expeditions, and if yes do they get you close to the center or close to anchors?
So all of your gear can be saved?
Just so i know if i should go for a cargo-capacity/survivability ship or just grab an explorer and pump it full of warp range
I haven't seen one, yet.
Oh, my second death was after AP4 too. The pirates ground attacked me from their spaceship...
Damn pirates got me when I was flying to a space station.
Oh, That's too bad, I reached completion on my third loop, after it. Good luck!
mo, just bases
This time around, I'll be less reckless.
Can anything be stored in a base's refiners/cargo or would that still be wiped on death?
nope
Noted
After an experience like this, the fear of an accident becomes more and more familiar to myself.
I assume it's more common to die from space encounters than planetside
LMAO
Like you can take precautions against most planetary threats but if you get unlucky you can't just avoid all pirate attacks
Locked by gek rank
HG is making us earn this expedition
I carried the effigy and relic from start to end and never used it π
effing finally found the damn thing
I didn't feel so, because I got the Phase Beam in the first round and the Positron Ejector in the second week. But it may been hard if I didn't have any weapons other than the Photon Cannon and Missile.
That's what got me as well. There now digging my way to the grave
once launch thrusters recharge I'll be off to the loop point next, sure to be a barrel of laughs
digging your way through, hrm, wonder how well that works
don't you hit bedrock at some point?
yep
i like that everything nanite wise was expensive this time round
so @granite vine let us know if tunneling works
It does, just takes a while depending on how far away you are from it
gtk
Once you get to it poke your head up and call your ship in, make sure the launch thrusters are charged, then hit the grave and jump in your ship and run away @indigo falcon
yeah I already know that drill from the other 3 π
What system was it that had the fourth anchor point?
Chistor-Olev XIII
Thanking you
np. also you can do !faq-expglyphs in the bot-spam channel any time to see info for all.
I think that was the system which has storm crystals on the anchor planet
ok, 1k u from where I am now, wait for lauch thrusters to recharge again....
LMAO
I almost died
|| So at the memory you get surprised by biological horrors ? ||
i probly should get some weapons
Or other surprises
atm I only have a mining tool π
||Or you can just flee. You don't have to kill them.||
Yup, nothing wrong with doing that
Primary directive: S U R V I V E
so
Anyone else scared shitless by the giant worms on the starting planet?
Not that ik of. Gotta finish em all out.
oh dear
My thoughts exactly
made it to grave, now wait for launchers to recharge....
(waiting underground so an extreme wind event doesn't get me, I hope)
lol, that's what I do too. and to hide from those annoying robots
Those launch thrusters are sure costly π
I didn't have enough stocked, doesn't matter
ship's there, time to get this done
and done, whew
now off to my safe little t1 world for storm crystals and then phase 5
@indigo falcon when you get done with the expedition, tell me your thoughts on it if you don't mind.
only if I get done
I got the base building parts and that's the important bit for me, as a builder
need to be able to provide whatever parts someone needs
still waiting on that bug fix for claiming the reward ...
I died once (glad it wasn't too far in to the progress) then went full on balls of steel on next run
the last death was while getting chased by a alien and being toxicated by those plant things in the caves
Oh yeah same, what do you think of the expedition by the way?
ouch!!
it was ... not what I expected ... I thought the entire phases would stay completed if you died...
I did the yolo and even destroyed a sentinel walker to get one objective done
This is kind of a spoiler but I think I'm supposed to ask here, so I'll put it in spoilers: ||Do you have to die multiple times to get all of the optional milestones? Or is that triggered by something else? ||
Something Else.
just die once at start I'd recommend
alright, thanks; I just wanted to make sure before I started investing in stuff like upgrades lol
and yeah I already did ||die at right at the start since I knew you had to do it at least once||
I gotta wait for patch for the expedition completion to get fixed
question: ||do you have to die more than once at all? or is once fine?||
lmao
npc ships are attacking this golden vector
while parked in the space station
I got lucky with my first derelict freighter it didn't have those spoopy aliens I haven't encountered b4
heretic ship
that seems ... unlikely
the guy quit the game or at least disappeared
not sure if the spam in chat was him?
Just finished Phase 1 but on that Loop planet, my ship got teleported 8 hours away from me, what should i do now?
no that's not what it's about, the optional ones are community driven by giving multiple items to Polo, like the nexus missions
what system was the derelict in?
2nd time in a row expedition save has crashed right after loadβ¦. Come on lucky number three
Or not so lucky
This is crap, dudes in the final stretch and keeps crashing
no idea, haven't captured coords
maybe at the last anchor point
but it's a maybe
oh, 5? maybe so, that one is rumoured to have ||only turrets and drones||
My only option starting again?
is there a way to unlock the memory lost blueprints in the anomaly? π
Found one with just turrets yesterday . Really hope this game loads guys load out is sick and just got main inv. Almost full
or are these just locked for us
Anyone else game refuse to load, so m at station at like 4th anchor and just crashes when matchmaking with other platforms
bah need two more. oh welll, wait for the next storm
do single player for now??
if it gets you thruogh that milestone or two
you do see other players' bases still if that's a concern
Anyone have the actual coordinates on the planet for Anchor 4? Keep going in circles here
For the loop events, do you need to ||kill the hostile spawns|| or can you just leave?
Keeps sending me back to the 'approximate location'
ah no I didn't think to get them π¦
run away, run away! π at least it worked for me
!!! Got out of station before it matches and Iβm in game! Woot
now turn off multiplayer before it f's up again lol
Copy
Hide and seek on the anchor 4 planet
What is the activated Emeril for that you receive?
sellin
Gotcha, thanks
could refine to chrom metal for warp if you need
I found something broken. I can ask this gek for language help indefinitely, along with practicing language. I can get infinite gifts
good job! such a helpful gek
||atoning for past sins in the spirit of the expedition||
This is pretty awesome, minotaur says it's one way and my scanner says it's the opposite
Heres the thing: i can ger glowing crystals, lower rep, raise rep, or get modules
PLEASE, Give us the ability to remove people's MESSAGE markers.. people are spamming them all over the galaxy, the HUD is really ugly and it's super hard to be able to spot your mission or destination because of it.
we've been asking that for years ...
did you ever find it? I found coordinates posted someplace
nope
lol...pretty sure that's the 'approximate location' since I'm sitting at -45.31,-156.58 and don't see it
then it says it's 1200+u away when I scan
gah
just trust your scanner not the minotaur
and go 200 u and get out, check again
any of the pillars they will be royals, as I understand it if one pillar has royals on a world they all do
Are royals rare or just unique?
My game locked up on a freighter. My gun disappeared and when I toggled around back to it again the game froze :(
manual save?
henlo
Hi,
is it normal to just take Dmg out of nowhere in the expedition? Wherever I go/stand seems to be some sort of ground laser aiming at me and damages me while im on foot, my exocraft and/or my ship...this is creeping me out hard. Just saved and logged out now so I don't die from whatever that is...help xD
it's not normal, it's a bug, try single player
ive only had it happen to me (in single) when i destroyed the whispering egg's (somehow they where ig shooting through the walls lol)
"it's normal it's a bug", stronger than "it's not a bug it's a feature"
oh NOW I get the personal refiner. in phase 5 jfc
That would mean they shoot at me from the planet and target my ship while i fly through space...these creepers need to have some serious aim to do that π
But thx for the Info!
i think polo is giving away to many beacons
no, best guess is it has to do with other players shooting at things in your instance (even though they are nowhere near you)
ik i just meant i had smth similer happen to me but it was when on the planet only and it was only when the horrors where active xD
maybe ye
tbh i hope the patch wil come out tomorrow lol
like i rly wanna help with the community goals but dont want to risk losing the final reward xD
Do you have a storage mod? How are you able to get that much in one slot?
they did the expedition with default things (like no mods) and then after reactivated the mods p sure
any word on the patch to actually let you finish the expedition?
Holy crap the starting planet is brutal this time around
I heard itβs tomorrow
i hope its tomorrow xD
Anyone else farming silver pugneum and derelict freighters?
Itβs on the experimental
ik lol
but doesnt mean it wil come out 100% tomorrow lol
i hope it does tho
Cup half full kinda person
Scorched, good luck finding O2 plants
Can storm. often does.
Mountains. If you wanna spare your precious O2 you're gonna have to walk around.
Almost all the freaking wildlife wants to eat your skin
f
dont forget that all the progress resets when you die lol
(which makes it even more brutal lol)
Is there a way to crouch to take cover?
Donβt forget to make bases at anchor points and places to to the different quests
Why not just walk through the mountain? π
just lost all my fucking progress because of that stupid ass biohorror headbutt bug
Retovok XIX outlaw station has an s-tiered multi-tool. system pool includes an alien multi-tool. Retovok XIX is near the Romestovot system. one of the anchor points, i do believe.
great find!
both of you
derelict
yup anchor 4
11 rooms
infestation tho
well you can skip em and just haul to engineering
XD
hmm saving in the expedition is taking ages and it's freezing my game while it does so, is anyone else getting that?
What do I do with memory imprint I
Hi,
if I reset, for reasons, do I keep a new ship if I aquired one or am i set back to the one I had the first time?
reset
I love infestations, keeps me on my toes π
Great to know that, so no point in wasting money on the change. Thank you!
Until you finish
well you only need to die once
so if you got thjat out of the way
go get yourself a new ship if you want
still trying to get to memory loop 5. ugh. terrain
mino
I basically just started playing the game...and got the mandatory one out of the way already...plus some optional ones....I don't expect to finish that soon π
it can't really climb these high mountains
last time I tried it (anc4) it got lodged partway up
had to reload
nomad then
on these near vertical inclines?
GOOD GRAVY THE COST OF BASE RESEARCH
inflaction took a heavy toll on this expd
imma pop into rdv 5 anyway tho so
did my 20 deliveries to polo
so basically done for today
Anybody having fun yet?
i cna help with that
got a base on top of monster eggs XD
wait were you the one who made the hut?
which?
there's several players who have done this
very kind of them and makes grabbing the eggs easy peasy
i dont recall the planet name but near one of the anchors theres a hut with eggs
did remove my mino
ahh yours is more refined then theirs was π they built just a wood hut
ffs mstupid pirats again
lmao I hate pirates so much
its like let me be i just wanna rob your planets, but they just like nah
I used to run around with nothing to avoid them
yea
thinking about how to run a derelict with a neutron #$%&^ cannon ugh
hm
rdv 3
only turrets
think on 5 its also turrets
drones too
if need be i can help
anyone got a stack of somnal dust and liquid sun? in the anomoly now π
Weird, this bountiful planet I found lists AI yesterday, today it just says Indium, but I did find an AI hotspot. It doesn't mention Sentinels but they are regular patrols here.
got 11k nanites, I could spend them on something I guess
@indigo falcon to awnser your question
but I'd like one decent cold protection (got nothing but that c thermic layer thing)
what is that??
i made like 4 mods durng this exp π
No , they have the atlas logo diamond shape on them . Memory imprint. Won't let me add a pic
oh it's the nomad! sorry, image so dark on my screen I couldn't tell untill looking at the original
anyways I got it done so whew
imma build a final base and ill be doen too
and 1 more mod π
gonan make plant timer all the same
find it odd its all diff hrs
I didn't get everything done! just the first two phase 5 ones
next up derelict, not tonight though
what are we looking at here
ok well at least I got the personal refiner before the derelict π like literally JUST before.
not even 5 mins or so
i hate them :I
they are very pesky, indeed
I think it's funny they always forget to update the patch notes
in game it's now at Outlaws hehe
sooo tilted
as it is on steam too
just recently I destroyed cargo pod -> pirates, then 5 seconds later destroyed second cargo pod -> more pirates instantly
how do they know
