nms-expedition

[warm sigil]

Huh, the freighter I have is exactly the same as the one on my main save.

[stoic dagger]

they're pretty common along the whole expedition route

[mortal merlin]

Really!?

[ashen turret]

almost every anchor point is extreme weather

[dusty pecan]

one of the later anchor planets has them too

buuuuuut it has horrible steep mountains and agressive sentinels

[mortal merlin]

Oh then Idk why the heck I'm stressing this

[warm sigil]

Wait, if the freighter doesn't have a hyperdrive, how did I summon it?

[slate mountain]

The mountains are the real villain this expedition

[stoic dagger]

Space magic

[dusty pecan]

yup hence why I recommended the flat terrain one in the first anchor system

[stoic dagger]

The mountains and the damn Traveller graves

[humble bramble]

Anchor 4 is literally hell: the planet

[ashen turret]

the graves aren't the problem ... it's the graverobbers

whether that's YOU or something else, up for interpretation

[alpine topaz]

Yeah I had to stay in the minatuar to explore that memory

Nearly died walking too far from it

[stoic dagger]

I sent my Normandy and my Whale-Frigate out on missions on main save and now I regret it, it's not like I actually need anything

[humble bramble]

I never use frigate stuff

[ashen turret]

yea ... the hazard drain there is extreme, even for an extreme weather planet

[humble bramble]

Once I got out of my ship and got launched by a tornado

I did not die though because I just reloaded my save :)

[dusty pecan]

save reload and alt+f4 are real superpowers

[stoic dagger]

I need HG to give us a really good multitool as a expedition award, something to go with the Golden Vector

i'm going to go give someone on the anomaly all my extra memory fragments

[ashen turret]

there's quite a few nice multitools from the first round of twitch drop multitools

[split junco]

hi

[ashen turret]

including one that has both advanced mining laser and the optics (resource bonus mod)

[stoic dagger]

Oooh, that I didn't know

I haven't paid attention to the Twitch drops at all

[silk nebula]

are they doing twitch drops again?

[ashen turret]

they did some at outlaws release

and 2 other times before

[stoic dagger]

Might have to get the ole save editor out

And add those

[silk nebula]

like twitch prime or the ones where you need to watch the streamer

[ashen turret]

not prime - they've never done those

[alpine topaz]

This part is very annoying, you need to go to the anchor point system, and then the actual planet..

it will tell you when you use the memory resonator on the anchor planet, which is the other planet in that same system to find...

[tawny hatch]

can i transport things from my freighter without travelling to it ?

[alpine topaz]

na you gotto go inside

otherwise its out of range

unless theres another upgrade?

[tawny hatch]

ok gotcha

[daring fulcrum]

how are people liking this expedition?

[silk nebula]

spooky

[humble bramble]

It was alright

Got better after phase 1

[fallow blade]

It's fun until glitches get you killed, like a giant mushroom shelf thing appearing out of nowhere that my ship got stuck on and bounced into the ground until I died... Before I could get to the reload last save button.. not bitter or anything.. hehe

[alpine topaz]

agreed, great fun

id say, the pirate parts were almost too much, like every minute getting a pirate attack

[fallow blade]

That aside I actually have really enjoyed it in general

[alpine topaz]

also not having clear indications on the anchor points (if you leave them), and memories. like i had to use discord to track the anchor points after i visited them to get some memories, because i didnt write them down.

[fallow blade]

It's also annoying when it's just a super storm planet, your low on resources already and it's chock full o sentinels to help ya out some more hehe

[stoic dagger]

this expedition has inspired me, I'm going to start a permadeath save and get those last two achievements

[stray meteor]

what’s the point of giving all the items to the portal at the anchor points

[stoic dagger]

turns the portal on so you can use it

[stray meteor]

are the glyphs scattered around the universe

says it’s unavailable

[stoic dagger]

Normally yes, but you get the full set as a reward at some point

[stray meteor]

okay cool

[stoic dagger]

I forget which Phase

But I suggest going ahead and doing it and getting them

Then you can use the portal to reach the other anchors easily

If you want to do it that way

[alpine topaz]

Does anyone actually use these?

It seems like u must find out the destination but it must be a very good destination to go to the trouble of locating this portal to use to get there

[stoic dagger]

people use them all the time to share systems

[fallow blade]

Or just make a base on each anchor planet and gate there with a starbase

[stoic dagger]

that requires you getting to the anchor first

the portal doesn't

[fallow blade]

Yeah that's for true, just mean once you do

To protect the accidental death, can always do that too

[karmic whale]

Trouble buying stuff in your expedition? If you're having trouble going it alone, I made a sac venom farm at a planetary archive in on planet Isum, in the Anchor Point 1 system. Three biodomes overpacked with sac venom plants to yield about 4.5M units per dome. Coords: +0, +50.
(Interestingly, someone ninja'ed a tiny base into the same archive... but it fits. They're going to be surprised when they visit again...)

just sell stuff to the NPC vendor or visiting pilots to not wreck the local economy at the trade interface if you intend to visit again.

[cyan meadow]

I am actually at the first anchor system, how can I find this with the coords

[karmic whale]

fly to Isum, then go directly east or west to get to +50 on the coordinate readout in your ship, then go directly north or south to get to +0.

I do encourage people to try to get through the expedition on their own - but if you got killed a few times and you're losing patience, the farm is here.

[cyan meadow]

Yeah I have died a few times and would love some help. Trying to find the planet still.

[topaz dock]

Will it actually show extreme in discoveries for weather? Playing hell finding a storm crystal planet .

[river plaza]

i just started the expedition and someone gave me a stack of starship AI valves this community dope

[willow geyser]

reload autosave?

[karmic whale]

Well, it makes it easy but it's not exactly good for the challenge, lol

[topaz dock]

Idk units armrest not that helpful it seems to me. After a good freighter or two I’ve had plenty for upgrading and just buying batteries and whatnot

Aren’t *

Are not some thing like it anywho

[river plaza]

still dope to see the community helping ppl tho

[alpine topaz]

I'm Trying to find a good freight.. Just warping around forever doing trading runs to try get one

[cyan meadow]

Is there a way to look at the panels of your ship? So I can see my coords.

[river plaza]

and is researching like a medium refiner the same because ik stuff costing nanites are expensive now is it the same with salvaged data

[fallow blade]

Yeah if I could have got to the load last save stuff I would have been ok but I couldn't get there before the ship seesawed me to death

In the menu

[fallow blade]

Way more expensive

[topaz dock]

Went through my entire discoveries list no activated metals at all. Looks like I’m searching the stars for storms now . Oorah

[cyan meadow]

@karmic whale I think I found it

[topaz dock]

Cad drive be choice right about meow and an orbital for Minotaur.

[alpine topaz]

When u save a freighter in a battle. How much do they give u, if u choose request payment?

[topaz dock]

Get more cargo for existing and some change for pocket

The bulkhead upgrades are nice though .

[alpine topaz]

ah i see nice, im still searching for an S.

[topaz dock]

Gave up upgrading during expedition myself, too much going on lol.

Have not even saved any freighters in awhile. Just looking for an extreme storm planet. Might try a portal soon lol

[karmic whale]

planet Mapan in the anchor point 1 system has storm crystals.

[silver current]

and anchor 4 planet also has them, but agressive sentinels so have to deal with them

[topaz dock]

Did not see any on 4 but I’m look again. Don’t think I made a base at 1st

Looked in a storm on 4 but imma look again. No scanner in min if that’s a thing I need

[granite vine]

Anchor 4 was the absolute worst

[silver current]

I just got 200 uranium to fly around collecting crystals, and for the waypoints etc I just tunneled everywhere, better be careful then dead

[granite vine]

Pretty much how I got past that death trap of a planet

[ashen turret]

unfortunately tunneling doesn't help all that much when you're trying to cliff jump

as in jump UP them

[calm anchor]

Personally for anchor 4 I did the entire phase before going there, then using my ship to navigate the planet

I was shot at in the space station so yeah I had no intention of lingering when I was so close to completion

[ashen turret]

I never had that issue - but - I didn't ever have multiplayer on lol

[ionic ember]

You died by a troll?

[calm anchor]

Didn't die

[ionic ember]

Oh alright good

[calm anchor]

I was spooked and did the anchor and memory in like 3 minutes because of it

Someone else in the instance mentioned they were being damaged while doing tunnel strats

[whole crest]

I just died 10 hours and 90% of the way through the expedition because my ship clipped into my frieghter and got stuck

Sigh

[stoic dagger]

oof, if it happens again go into the menu and reload your save

[whole crest]

Yeah. I was trying to quit before it killed me. Wasn’t fast enough

[spiral delta]

Has the optional motions being required fixed?

[whole crest]

I don’t get this expedition. I dont actually gain anything from my past attempt do I?

All the expedition objectives. My actual progress through the Galaxy. All my upgrades. Are all gone lol

I might as well just start a new save

[hollow blade]

Anyone down to work on the expeditions and chill?

[stoic dagger]

your bases stay and you should get some memory fragments

[ashen turret]

I'm basically just waiting for the claim thing to be fixed, I'm done with all phases of it

[stoic dagger]

pop on over to experimental, everything is fixed

[ashen turret]

I don't want to risk that messing up my profile data ...

[karmic whale]

you're on pc - make some backups and gtg

[true bronze]

If you finish the 3rd phase and it upgrades the memory fragments to s class, and then you die....do you start off back at c class or do you still get s class fragments?

[stoic dagger]

memory fragment class is based on the community goals

So the higher that gets the higher memory fragments are for everyone

[true bronze]

Ah gotcha

[topaz dock]

Fell in n a deep hole at anchor 4 no jump fuel so had to fight it out with sentinels u til recharger got my back, oh and made more jump while fighting , got those crystals though. Rough stuff .

Tried boring my way up, sentinels found me in the cave…was touch and go for a min there 🤣

[ashen turret]

it's definitely not boring, boring your way through the mountains of hell

[granite vine]

Put down a base at each anchor, those are persistent even after death so you'll be able to teleport back to those and get the anchors quicker

[whole crest]

Good call. Ill do that this time through

[granite vine]

Wasn't my idea lol BeebleBum did a video on it

[alpine topaz]

If you cliam memory fragements before the gaols, as long as its not open, then they will upgrade if the community hits the target i think

[alpine topaz]

The clipping issue with freighters is annoying

[hard gale]

I’m on phase 2 and I’m trying to do the anchor mission where you have to place a base. I placed a base computer as it says, but it wouldn’t complete the mission.
(I’m on an infested planet)

[ionic ember]

Select the mission

It tells you to place some parts down

And you need to do that

In order to finish it daddy

[hard gale]

Can you tell me which parts I need to place because I doesn’t show on my game for some reason

[ionic ember]

Just place down anything

Like any decoration

Or anything

Just anything

You need to do it 16 times I believe or 15

Keep on placing down random stuff until you finish the mission daddy waddy

[hard gale]

Yeah it’s not doing anything

[ionic ember]

That weird bro because if you select the mission it should tell you what to do or how many you need to place down

Because I just placed down the computer then claimed it and then it told me just make a base and add in 16 parts

But for me decorations counted as base parts so I spammed them and just finished it

[hard gale]

It just says,
“Deploy a base computer to establish a base. Access the build menu with (my button)

[ionic ember]

Yeah I did that and I placed down anything

Try placing down those standing lights

Because that’s what I did

[hard gale]

Ok

[nova jay]

Let me guess, it needs to put down a wall or a floor or something...?

[hard gale]

11 standing light later, nothing changed

[hard gale]

Did that. Didn’t work😤

[ionic ember]

The mission allows you to place down anything

Bro I think this man’s stuff is bugged lol

[hard gale]

Lemme reload game

[nova jay]

In other words, I guess it' s need to build enough shelters to protect myself from the bad environment... oh, didnt work? so sorry.

I didn't encountered this bug, so I have no idea...🤔

Ah, but I've seen someone on this channel who is encountering a bug that the mission guide is guiding him to a planet that doesn't meet milestone requirements.

[ionic ember]

Did you finish it?

What happened

[hard gale]

No I’m gonna come back to it after the other missions

[ionic ember]

Alright papi

Maybe find another infested planet and make a base there

There’s like a few more infested planets after that first one in this expedition

[nova jay]

I tried going back in the logs to find that someone's story, but I can't find it. It was a while ago...... Anyway, I hope you can accomplish it somehow.

[topaz dock]

Smuggle goods is last of 4

There’s an infested and each anchor I believe

[calm anchor]

I uh

I seem to not be getting the progress on the community goal

[summer oyster]

Not understanding it or completing it?

[ionic ember]

It’s a community thing

Also it’s optional but there’s a bug right now that doesn’t make it optional

[calm anchor]

I mean

I am seeing the progress at 0%

[ionic ember]

That’s weird it shouldn’t be doing that but either way just wait for the update patch it wouldn’t matter in the future

[nova jay]

Is it a communication problem with the server? If so, it could be temporary.

[alpine topaz]

Which menu are u viewing? Is it in the Log menu, and u gotto choose like the Loop research secondary missions

Must be bugged then

[calm anchor]

It literally is saying it's below tier 1

Gonna reload save

[alpine topaz]

The menu is so confusing.. If u choose Loop progress in Expedition for loop 2. It takes u to Log menu, Perpetuity to assist polo in searching loop 2..ajdnthen it says Choose Loop progression to view details

[calm anchor]

Nope

Bar is still at 0%

[ashen turret]

check discoveries - might be because you can't connect to ODS?

[calm anchor]

Nope, they're active

Now it updated

Cool, 68% to tier 3

[alpine topaz]

Ah yeah that's right now

[nova jay]

👍

[indigo drum]

How much time we have to start It before they get rid of the expedition?

[river plaza]

how do i find a predatory animal to tame i been lookin for 30 mins

[ashen turret]

little less than a month and a half

[indigo drum]

Oh boy

[ashen turret]

starting planet

[river plaza]

i'm a lil past 2nd anchor lmao

no specific planet type

[ashen turret]

call up the anomaly, head back, then bring up anomaly again and go to previous system lol

[topaz dock]

Refiner in my freighter keeps disappearing it’s contents

*kicks freighter

[near lynx]

Are you leaving it and warping around?

Like to different systems? @topaz dock

[nova jay]

It's a little hard to use. You have to wait without leaving your freighter.

[crimson gust]

so far, I've spent more time in this expedition waiting for sentinels to look away from me than anything else. are all expeditions like this?

[junior cloak]

Sentinels have the same behaviour in all modes.

[crimson gust]

I've never had them spawn directly in front of me every time I land my ship and get out before

[junior cloak]

Maybe you had too good luck and never landed in an "aggresive sentinels" planet before

[crimson gust]

aggressive sentinels means they shoot you on sight

[near lynx]

@crimson gust what mode do you normally play in?

[junior cloak]

yep

[crimson gust]

the normal bog standard survival mode

these aren't shooting me on sight, just spawning and staring at me

[junior cloak]

There's many types of aggresion. Aggresive sentinels shoot you on sight, as you said before.

[near lynx]

Guess you’ve been really lucky with sentinels then. They always spawn close to me in survival

[hard gale]

During the second iteration, where do I find an aggressive creature?

[junior cloak]

And this expedition had some milestones on planets like that

You can find an aggresive creature in the planet you spawn in

the planet where we all start

[hard gale]

I have moved around a lot and I now don’t know which one it is.

[junior cloak]

Sry mate, I'm not ingame right now, I dont remember either.

[languid dove]

Uhh any particular reason my jetpack has begun to not charge?

[topaz dock]

Nope in the same room watching it happen the 2nd time . Went planetside to make some chromatic

And resupply my copper to storage

[alpine topaz]

you can go Back to the starting planet, there are aggressive creatures

[hard gale]

Oh. Is there any other way to get one?

[alpine topaz]

Starting Planet
System: Rowland-Desk
Station: Rowland-Desk Prime
Planet: Christole Oich

i think alternatively visiting any random planet, to see if the creatures are start being aggressive

[junior cloak]

if you visited the Rowland-Desk's station, you could teleport there

[hard gale]

Do I have the glyphs or what mission do I do to unlock them

[indigo falcon]

just check your space station list, you will have gone to the space station in order to get materials and things before heaiding for anchor 1, right?

[hard gale]

I did not.

[grim storm]

Hey, just wanna check and confirm that actually getting the leviathan frigate is still bugged. Completed 5/5 and can't claim it.

[indigo falcon]

try looking for any bases in the teleporter at a space station and check for ones on a world that is "Incandescent Planet" and weather "Infrequent Heat Storms", that should be the starter planet

[indigo falcon]

bugged until the patch for that goes public

[grim storm]

Sweet, thanks.

[hard gale]

When does it go public

[grim storm]

if it's already on deck, probably Tuesday?

[junior cloak]

The second milestone of the second iteration. "To crave the stars" I think.

[vestal jasper]

around how long does it take to get the leviathan

[near lynx]

After 8 hours yesterday I died inside a base so I had to reset and after 6 more hours today I finished it

[grim storm]

I think my run was around 10 hours?

[near lynx]

Take that how you will

[grim storm]

only died once early on.

[sullen hill]

just finished the first iteration of the expedition, and I dont undertand the optional quest, do I have to die again? or just keep getting liquid sun and the other crap for polo?

optional quest for the second itertion i mean

[indigo falcon]

you only need to give stuff to polo five times

[grim storm]

You definitely don't have to to keep dying, I think its tied to the overall goal progress?

[junior cloak]

it's a community goal

[indigo falcon]

the rest is "community contributions" i.e. we all make the progress bar move, like quicksilver items at the nexus thta are locked at tier 1 or whatever

[sullen hill]

ok thank god ive died so many times and had to redo it so thats cool

[indigo falcon]

you can do more then 5 if you want, and get memory fragments for them

death is not required for that and should be avoided if you did the one mandatory death 😄

[sullen hill]

yeah thats what i was hoping for, thank you

[hard gale]

For anyone interested, I just found a squid ship on the space station at iteration 2

[indigo falcon]

really? nice, maybe get a pic and post in ship hunters?

[lunar kelp]

To get the final item, you need to give items that Polo needs, right?

[indigo falcon]

you need to give 5 times for a specific milestone

[foggy cloak]

You don't need to give, just have those 3

[indigo falcon]

also later you will need 32 units of each item to make something

[foggy cloak]

The ||flute|| requires those

[foggy cloak]

Hmm, 32....16 times 2, very funny Sean....

[lunar kelp]

Oh I’ve finished all 5 phases, I just need to figure out how to get the final item

[topaz dock]

Hello pile of crash on last jump to 5th anchor. Networks not even on , stuck in a station crashing again . *kicks ship

[indigo falcon]

wait for patch, it's bugged

[topaz dock]

Oh well probably a sign in done for the day.

[lunar kelp]

Sounds good

[hard gale]

Do I need the cargo bulk head for the freighter?

[indigo falcon]

only if you plan to keep the save and play it after

[foggy cloak]

Not neccesary

[hard gale]

Ok cause I was gonna sell it

[grim storm]

Yeah, all they do is expand the inventory

might be useful

[lunar kelp]

I’m gonna try and get tons of the items polo needs and see if it ups progression on the keep research

[near lynx]

It will, just very very slowly

[lunar kelp]

I’ve got about 2.5k ancestral memories so far, and I plan to get the same amount for liquid sun and somnal dust

[near lynx]

😳

Good luck with the somnal dust. That is only ||on derelict freighters|| to my knowledge

[lunar kelp]

I’ve only got about 1.5, so I’ll need maybe 3-4 more to meet my quota

[foggy cloak]

And? Creepy aliens don't compare to a good blaster

[near lynx]

Oh I forgot that most people don’t go to a freighter with no thermal protection

[lunar kelp]

As for liquid sun, that’s easy enough to get from maybe 6 deposits

So I’m saving it for last

I’ll let you know when I have all the stuff, maybe in an hour or two

I’m also willing to donate some of it to those who need it

I got excess tainted metal and storm crystals too

[indigo falcon]

donating storm crystals wont' help someone get that milestone (but it will help with units I suppose)

[lunar kelp]

That’s a good point

[hard gale]

Thank you so much I was able to go back and get the thing. Thank you

[lunar kelp]

I mean I have an extra sentinel map, but you get that by killing 20 of em

I got 3 planetary charts for finding the abandoned buildings to get larval cores

[alpine topaz]

Great stuff 👍

[alpine topaz]

If u press R to make ur mining beam smaller. U can get get enough liquid sun from 1 maybe 2 deposits

[lunar flax]

So I just had my first death(besides the iterate/repeat), is there anything we keep from our previous lives? or we start from the beginning?

[alpine topaz]

I think ur structures like save beacons remain.

[lunar flax]

What about the items I put in chests?

[gritty depot]

Have they fixed getting the final reward yet?

[near lynx]

No

[lunar flax]

God so this is what it feels to play on hardcore, and I haven't even finished the first iteration yet, this feeling sucks

[near lynx]

Based you placed will remain so you can teleport to them to save warp fuel

[lunar flax]

unfortunately I didn't build any bases, I saw some homes and they had advanced stuff so I said to myself "Why don't I save myself the hassle" and I used their stuffs

I don't know if I'm that far, probably not ,but Im 3 days old into the game(Technically around 5 months old already, but I stopped way back then and I recently came back bc of expedition)

[teal jetty]

do you need to die in order to do this?

[near lynx]

Yeah this is a tough expedition to start out again on

[lunar flax]

If I put stuffs in chests, will it be saved"?

?*

Or literally nothing but structures will remain?

[near lynx]

I’m not sure about that one. I only built one base and didn’t even finish the roof

[lunar flax]

And the wort part is I didnt even know what caused my death, I was managing my inventory and something flung me up at high speed and I was panicking too much I used too much fuel from my jetpack instead of using it to cushion my fall

Do we all start from the same planet?

I started in a fire planet thing

[near lynx]

I believe so. Scorched planet right?

[brave sequoia]

i think some people start on different planets

[lunar flax]

Yes

[brave sequoia]

not really sure though, im only a day in

a day being 82 minutes

[near lynx]

Yeah weird deaths are my downfall. I was 8+ hours in and sitting inside a base. Went to go help out with dinner and came back to me dead. Still have no clue how it happened

[brave sequoia]

what happens if we die?

[lunar kelp]

Reset back where you originally started

[brave sequoia]

do i loose my ship?

[near lynx]

If the planet had 2 hostile creatures, one being a bug thing and one being a tiger looking thing then yes we all start on the same planet

[lunar kelp]

It’s the same ship, but you’ll need to repair it again

[near lynx]

It breaks again. It restarts as if you had just started the save @brave sequoia

[brave sequoia]

so

this dude gave me a squid ship

what happens to it if i die

[near lynx]

You lose it

[lunar kelp]

Ditto

[near lynx]

As if it was never given to you in the first place

Now, have you already died?

[brave sequoia]

thats annoying

nope

i havent yet

[near lynx]

😬 you might wanna take a look at the iteration milestones

[lunar flax]

I never played an expedition before, if I get the trails, or some cool collectibles, do we keep it even after the playthrough? or this mode is more like "Hey congrats you did a hard thing but it's all over now" when it's finished?

If I get to the leviathan freighter or the infinity sign cape, do I get to use that when I play singleplayer?

[near lynx]

Yes. You can access them in any save

[brave sequoia]

wait whats the difference

between normal

and an expedition

[lunar flax]

Oh nice

[near lynx]

You just have to go to the quicksilver synthesis bot

@brave sequoia unique timed quest line with rewards that you can’t get after it’s over

[brave sequoia]

so whats the point of doing them

[near lynx]

This expedition however is the first to be permadeath

[brave sequoia]

if yuou loose everything

i see i see

so if im in normal

will i loose everything if i die

just like open world

[lunar kelp]

I think the ending of the expedition counts as a death, you get the death screen when you finish talking to the leviathan . So you might be able to save your ship @brave sequoia without dying

[near lynx]

Normal no

[brave sequoia]

betttt

[near lynx]

It’s risky but it might work

[brave sequoia]

alr im gonna go back to acting like ik what im doing

cya

thanks for the help

[lunar kelp]

👍

[near lynx]

😂

[lunar flax]

Since I wasn't able to participate in the previous expeditions, does that mean the rewards are lost to me forever? Or there's some way I could get them, like from other players and such?

[brave sequoia]

what happens if i run out of fuel for my ship in normal

am i stranded?

[near lynx]

Some rewards can be given but stuff like capes are not attainable

However, last year nms opened up all of the expeditions at Christmas time and allowed people to complete them then so it may be a possibility they will do it again this year

@brave sequoia you just need to craft more launch fuel. Its pretty cheap to make

[brave sequoia]

will 1 billion dollars work

[near lynx]

Uh…no. But 40 dihydrogen and some metal plating will

[brave sequoia]

interesting

i dont have any of that

only like a billion dollars and a ship to my name

[near lynx]

You just have to mind it. Dihydrogen is the little blue crystals you can find scattered pretty much anywhere. Metal plating can be crafted from ferrite which is in pretty much every rock in the game

If it doesn’t have to do with the expedition I’d recommend taking further questions to #nms-questions

[brave sequoia]

sounds good

thanks for ur help

[near lynx]

Of course, happy to help

[teal jetty]

so i cant progress. it says i need to die.. but when i do it just resets me. so what am i suppised to do

[near lynx]

Ah yeah he figured it out. It’s part of the loop my friend

[teal jetty]

hut the milestones dont save

[near lynx]

No they don’t. It’s a permadeath mode so if you die it sets you right back to the beginning, except for one milestone

[teal jetty]

the death one?

do you only need to die once?

[near lynx]

Correct

[teal jetty]

noice

[hard gale]

Is there any good strategies for mining the whispering eggs?

[near lynx]

I’ve seen one where you make a base around one cluster of eggs and break one inside there so the monstrosities are trapped

Then you’re free to collect the rest of the eggs

[hard gale]

I found out that you can just dig a trench around the egg, break it, then collect it

I never knew…

[wraith venture]

I normally run quick, hit X (on Xbox) as quick as possible to pick up he egg. Then I jump up on the facility's roof if I take too much damage where I do a manual save with the save beacon/point, or back to my starship for the autosave. I let the swarm die off and try again. If I have enough exosuit upgrades, I'm able to take a little extra damage. But I tend to play it extra safe when I'm dealing with those monstrosities. I also shoot them up, and sometimes they bug out and don't attack me. But yeah, I mostly play things by ear. The trench thing's never been super effective for me. The eggs disappear quick af

[lone echo]

I just wall the eggs off
They usually don't dig up in the walls and can't shoot over

[near lynx]

I tend to just shoot them and run around the building with them chasing me. I’ve never really had an issue with them being ridiculously aggressive before

[teal jetty]

i like to hop around and keep collecting while the swarm is active. need good jetpacks to do that though

are the hidden milestones hard?

[near lynx]

Not particularly

[teal jetty]

question. if you die, do your bases reset?

[near lynx]

No you keep your bases

[teal jetty]

wow that great

[near lynx]

Which is nice if you want to teleport to them to save warp fuel

If you end up dying

[warm junco]

Walk really carefully downhill during this expedition. I ended up sliding to my death halfway through.

Don't jetpack boost downhill for sure

[alpine topaz]

Yeah definitely. That's how I died hehe

[warm junco]

The damage and survivability is much different in this mode

[calm flax]

Got tired of dying due to glitches. Took advice from people here and disabled multiplayer. Still had a couple of bugs but, not bad enough to kill me like before. Finally finished. After I turned off multiplayer everything went so much easier.

I warped to a different system and changed to the boltcaster for the derelict freighter. Changing to the boltcaster from that new weapon forget what it's called made it easier also. Would rather have had the scatterblaster but, the boltcaster didn't do too bad.

Now to do it one more time on Xbox.

[karmic zenith]

Anyone wanna do expeditions together? I just started it

[unkempt plaza]

hoping its patch day today lol

[wraith venture]

same

[unkempt plaza]

ive kept away from my expedition save on purpose after i finished it to not accidently F up and lose everything XD

after the patch is out ill just help with the community optional milestones lol

[brazen crest]

17.5 hours in, last milestone, and because of the artificial difficulty they've added onto fall damage, i'm done.

not done as in, yayyy i'm done

[unkempt plaza]

F

[brazen crest]

like all that for F yes

F it all

[unkempt plaza]

wait

last milestone do you mean the one where you meet the leviathan

[brazen crest]

this is the least enjoyable expedition so far

sorry no the last memory collection

[unkempt plaza]

ah

i c

[brazen crest]

i had the screaming whatever

[unkempt plaza]

big oof tho

[brazen crest]

i did some out of order

[foggy cloak]

What do you mean, its the best one I have played

[unkempt plaza]

ah

i mean it was okay but i agree its also kinda annoying

has in

[brazen crest]

they put the last waypoint in an inaccessible place, and silly me, i actually went for it

[unkempt plaza]

you get nothing rly back when you die

[brazen crest]

so that's on me

[willow geyser]

i had way way more fun on exp 6 myself

[unkempt plaza]

which isnt rly rogue like

bcuz in rogue like games if you die you atleast get some stuff back and in this you only get the heat thingy blueprint

[willow geyser]

yea one anchor point was on a planet with high mountains

i almost died there

[brazen crest]

this

[alpine zealot]

Just randomised modules after death from my experience

[unkempt plaza]

ik lol but i meant more like you barely get anything back

only thing you rly get back is the thing to repair your ship blueprint wise

[alpine zealot]

Some rogues are like that, i mean you get a reroll and a buff in some but don't always have gear or anything.

[unkempt plaza]

fair altho i feel like they litterly took the worst example of rogue like games lol

[willow geyser]

my life flashed before my eyes there

[alpine zealot]

To the extreme, most definitely lol.

Felt like Risk of rains mechanic lol

[unkempt plaza]

like especially considering from going from a easy expedition like expedition 6 to 1 where you lose litterly everything 1 expedition later

[willow geyser]

exactly

[unkempt plaza]

like i feel like they slowly shouldve ramped up the dificulty

[willow geyser]

on monsoon even

[unkempt plaza]

over the next few expeditions

[alpine zealot]

It wasn't exactly great for newcomers, I'll say that.

[unkempt plaza]

exactly

[smoky meadow]

exp 6 was just too easy and then they got crazy

[alpine zealot]

But a good portion wanted harder expeditions

[alpine zealot]

2 hours long. Lol

[willow geyser]

well its not like we werent shitting on the fact of how easy the exp was

XD

[alpine zealot]

Exactly.

[unkempt plaza]

ik but for a middle ground they couldve atleast slowly ramped up the difficulty over like the next 5 expeditions and not instantly make it insane mode lol

[willow geyser]

so partly our fault

[brazen crest]

it's hamfisted is what it is

[alpine zealot]

True. Survival would of been fine, it was an odd twist 7.

[unkempt plaza]

ye

[smoky meadow]

they could had just figured out a way to make it easier every time you die, then at least if you die a lot its not as hard anynore

[unkempt plaza]

ikr

[junior cloak]

It's not so hard. Permadeath is harder.

[alpine zealot]

Well, they left in bases and such so in that i guess they figured these checkpoints that may or may not have been used would of been enough.

[smoky meadow]

well but they didnt mention that was a thing

[unkempt plaza]

^

[alpine zealot]

I have a base on every anchor planet, but at that point didn't die so was a waste of materials.

[unkempt plaza]

it was discovered by pure luck

[alpine zealot]

No, i know. It was annoying.

Scariest thing for me was tornadoes though. I mean jesus... Out of nowhere.

[brazen crest]

i just save-edited my ass off that first planet; 17 hours of this. I don't work for free.

like 17 hours without one death

[unkempt plaza]

ive never encountered a tornado funny enough

and ive only had 1 death apart of the 1 that was needed for the blueprint

[alpine zealot]

They're rare, funnily enough. I was on, anchor planet 4 i think, and it spawned on top of me and killed me.

[unkempt plaza]

which i would say is pretty good for someone who usually only plays normal mode XD

[brazen crest]

same

[alpine zealot]

I'm the same way there lol

[brazen crest]

i died like 2 times while getting to understand the system

[unkempt plaza]

first thing i did when i spawned in was jump of a cliff to test it out LOL

[alpine zealot]

I got the jist before starting, but i did spawn on a cliff and jumped that for the milestone

[unkempt plaza]

xD

[indigo falcon]

what system did you do the story derelict in? you went to another system for that?

[alpine zealot]

Oh and kept my save data even though i died by the tornado, thanks to @indigo falcon so props to this guy!!

[indigo falcon]

(not a guy and thanks 🙂

[alpine zealot]

I'm sorry!

Poor use of expression

[indigo falcon]

no worries

[alpine zealot]

I'll be on NMS in maybe 8-10 hours so if anyone is around then I'll help you out with the expedition if i can. I've limited travel so anchor points are on my Teleporter list.

And plenty of materials in my inventory if needed.

[blazing talon]

Holy hell that expedition was insano boingo

[lunar flax]

So there are some bases from other players in the expedition, is it a good idea to use other player's base to advance faster?

[dusty pecan]

perfectly fine

[junior cloak]

how would you use another player's base to advance faster?

[dusty pecan]

look for bases on the space station teleporter

[alpine topaz]

That would be very random to find since there's a fair amount of bases out there hehe

[junior cloak]

Oh, I get it. It would be a little hard, but it's possible

[alpine topaz]

Most won't have a teleporter it think

I built my teleporter and used bioreactor

The battery is too expensive to unlock

[junior cloak]

my "bases" are just a bunch of floors

[twilit olive]

I have a rather curious question. Can I die after I finish the expedition? Will I lose the progress?

[junior cloak]

I'd recommend you to not die yet. As the expedition is not complete

There's an issue with the leviathan

Probably it wouldn't matter if you already have all the other milestones and you just wait for the community goals, but its risky

[twilit olive]

Makes sense. Then I won't do it intentionally

[indigo falcon]

reports are that once you have completed phase 5 that you do not lose progress if you die again

but.

[cloud juniper]

Anyone else having trouble redeeming the final Expedition 7 reward i.e. the Leviathan Frigate, after completing all Phases? It's saying to me 1/5, but I've done all Phases. If I missed something obvious again?

[indigo falcon]

here's things you can do: look for a whispering eggs base that has walls built around the eggs and nice roofing to run from box to box; find a sentinel pillar base so you can just shut them down right there; find a starter planet base with things you can sell for units; look for a base by a crashed freighter; etc.

[indigo falcon]

known bug fixed in experimental, wait for it to go live

[cloud juniper]

Ah, fair, thank you. ❤️

[lunar flax]

Thanks! So far I've only done the whispering eggs thing, I am however considering getting tons of nanites to quickly augment my gear in order to improve my survivability, is that a viable strat and how does one get nanites rather quickly?

[river plaza]

just finished the expedition why does it only say 1 out of 5 complete

[indigo falcon]

there are a few mould bases, that's going to be slow.

[indigo falcon]

known bug fixed in the experimental branch on steam should be live soon

[river plaza]

so gotta wait till they fix it

[indigo falcon]

another nanite strategy is to sell off memory fragments that are dups, etc.

[indigo falcon]

wait until the fix goes public, yes. it's being tested now

[junior cloak]

I wonder if the living ship and the leviathan are related... I mean, the look almost the same

[indigo falcon]

a third thing is that if you scan all creatures on a world, that can give you nanites, and you keep those scans on death (so you can reclaim the nanitees again, one click!)

[lunar flax]

Alright, I'll take note of all of those, thank you!

[junior cloak]

I think that's the easiest way to get nanites in this expedition.

[dusty pecan]

it's something you can do while on the move

[marsh haven]

what happens if you die after building something in the expedition?

[dusty pecan]

your bases and stuff built on freighter persist between deaths

[alpine topaz]

I noticed ppl can leave portable refiners

And other ppl can pick them up though

I finally found my first S class freighter..

Gonna just get it but the design ain't my fave. It's like a vertical long design..

The one where u gotto turn as soon as u exit.. Otherwise u hit a pole lmao

[marsh haven]

my freighter (cclass) has no build restrictions. I could build rooms right in the bridge area

[alpine topaz]

Interesting wonder how it had no restrictions

[marsh haven]

i figured because it was given, not earned. so it didnt init properly

[indigo falcon]

the banana freighters, I really dislike those

[marsh haven]

has no one else tried? was it just mine?

[alpine topaz]

Yeahh it's a banana design

[junior cloak]

I dislike the dorito freighters 😑

[indigo falcon]

I'm a fan of the venators, got one on this save too, heh

[alpine topaz]

Last 5 ones all bananas

[junior cloak]

flying pizza, you mean

[marsh haven]

ever since the system freighers became capable of max storage, ive been a fan of a good system freighter. If you can get one in S class with a blade or something. Sits nicely centered in a bubble of frigates not wierdly with a small frigate bubble at the rear. Still looks massive up close.

[indigo falcon]

♾️ persistence after death:

• Bases created by you remain, including freighter base, but no contents in containers, nor any other
  inventory; if you build bases on each anchor world you can go there from the first space station
  and save a lot of travel and warp fuel
• When you visit a base you made prviously on an anchor point world, you will get "The Anchor"
  milestone again.
• The partners in time milestone remains, when you go to Polo the first time after the reset you get
  this again
• The "optional" (community) milestones will automatically complete after you talk to Polo for
  first time after you die, except for the 5th one which is still in progress.
• You will automatically get iterate/repeat shortly after spawning in
• Any discoveries you made or animals you scanned stay scanned, so you get secondary minerals
  automatically, and if you scanned all fauna you can get the nanites again.
• NO INVENTORY persists; not in suit, ship, storage, freighter. ALL of it will be gone, including tech
  and upgrades. After death you get a new ship and multi-tool and your suit starts out afresh too.

[marsh haven]

wierdly, the vibe I get from this expedition, is this is how the game was always planned to be

[indigo falcon]

Mini-faq for Expedition 7 (Leviathan):

• Being unable to claim the living frigate at the end is a known bug that has been fixed at last: https://www.nomanssky.com/2022/05/leviathan-patch-3-91/
• 🌩️ A planet in anchor system 1 (Cebrac-Eliwyn) has storm crystals: the acrid (toxic)
  moon (Mapon VIII)
  *🔡 If you talk to 3 Vykeen and 2 Korvax in starter system, then 3 Gek and 1 Korvax
  in anchor point 1 system, that's the Universal Languages milestone
• Die early to get the hermetic seal (Milestone: Iterate/Repeat)
• 🦖 Predators can be tamed on the starting world, a strider is one of two predators there
  (Milestone: Atonement)
• 🏴‍☠️ The system "Toympiae III", 86LY away from Roland Desk system en route to anchor 1,
  F8/Water (Gek), is an outlaw system; call in the Anomaly after buying contraband
  to teleport to a regular space station for sale (Milestone: Hot Pursuit)
• 🏚️ Anchor 2 system, infested cold world Alecapae Beta, build your base here for credit,
  not where the game says (Milestone: The Anchor)
• Do any mix of the loop research side missions and turn in results to Polo 5 times
  (Milestone: Partners in Time)
• The Community progress bar for the optional milestones is just like the one for quicksilver
  items being unlocked slowly as we all do nexus missions; you can't unlock it yourself,
  do as many donations to Polo as you like to help it along, that's all.
  You do not need to die to progress this milestone; in fact, we recommend against it!
• When you start a new save or die, your ship and multi-tool should be S class. IF
  they are not, die immediately and see if the new gear is right; this has been glitchy
  recently.

[ashen shore]

Pre packaged modules can be sold for some nice amount of nanites

[indigo falcon]

now I can copy paste the links to those two messages in here when these questions come up again! (and so can anyone else)

[ashen shore]

So pick what you need and sell the rest

[calm flax]

I warped to a system by the last system in the expedition. It wasn't any easier than the first one I did. The first one was harder because I had that new weapon I need to look up its name and I couldn't open one of the doors to proceed when I was at least half way through. I used the boltcaster this time and all the doors opened the way they are suppose to.

[marsh haven]

those of us who came before did everything with c-class memories

people who wait for week 6 will be s class everything

[ashen shore]

Another outlaw system is 96 LY from anchor 2 system, controlled by Vykeen

[junior cloak]

... but they will have less time

[indigo falcon]

but this was for the one in phase 5, to get ||the whale flute blueprint||, you did that in another system than the anchor point 5 one?

[marsh haven]

not like we are having trouble finishing on time.

[indigo falcon]

sounds like you could accumulate info for another mini-faq there, FriendlyFire

[ashen shore]

You can find it by viewing A2 system in galaxy map, then filtering with life forms (no need for combat / economy scanner installed), then looking at red dots. Find the one that is 96 LY from A2 system

[junior cloak]

true, but I get trouble making time to play XD

[ashen shore]

Anyone who wants it's free to do so, I'm currently at work and won't be active this week

Maybe on the weekend

[alpine topaz]

Nice points there thanks

[ashen shore]

Minotaur can scan for crashed freighter and abandoned building structures (need to check if you need the upgrades for that or is the base radar array module enough for that)

Make use of companions to get quicker through terrain, especially in the anchor planets

Don't waste precious life support gel, also the quicker you are, the less you will need to recharge hazard protection

[marsh haven]

what? buy that shit on a station and use it like ... stuff you use a lot

i disassembled all my hazard protection to make space for x-class hazard mods

[calm flax]

Thanks for the tip. I scanned a few planets for nanites. Didn't know I could go back and reclaim the nanites after I died. I did notice some things seemed to have already been done when I respawned after I died but, I didn't associate it with being able to reclaim my nanites.

[marsh haven]

the first one i opened was a 9-10-9-10 which was amazing. i want that im my main save.

[indigo falcon]

life support gels and ion batteries are cheap. keep plenty on hand

[ashen shore]

Of course you can do that, whatever works for your playstyle and lets you survive is a good strat

I just listed one alternative in case you run out of life support / batteries

[indigo falcon]

you never know when you might be in a tight spot. better safe than reset 😄

and we'll all have a rideable companion after the Atonement milestone anyways

[marsh haven]

x class hazard protection. find a planet on the route that sells them for salvaged metal. and ion batteries. are the best way to stay alive in hc.

[calm flax]

Yes I did it in another system and got credit for it. The derelict freighter in the phase 5 system glitched on me and I couldn't open a door to finish the derelict freighter.

[alpine topaz]

Launch gel. Or whatever it was called is expensive

[jagged charm]

X class is useless for most part

[ashen shore]

I wouldn't bother with X class protection, the range of the stats makes it possible to end up with something as shitty as C class

[alpine topaz]

I finally had to mine a tonne of uranium..

[simple lion]

What save will exp save become when its finished?

[jagged charm]

Try to get the minotor bay fast

[indigo falcon]

launcher fuel? very pricey. craft your own if you're tight for units (plus I didn't see it for sale in the anchor systems)

[alpine topaz]

Yeha I wasted lots on it lmao

[indigo falcon]

survival in 6 weeks

[marsh haven]

that is. the fuel is. the gel and plating is really cheap however. and if you find a terminal selling those you can turn a quick profit and get a full stack of launches

[jagged charm]

Uranium

Cheap

[simple lion]

Thanks bud,was hoping it would stay perma lol

[calm flax]

If I would have had my rathers I wouldn't have purchased pretty much any of the upgrades I got from the game to install. Almost all of them were weak upgrades.

[indigo falcon]

this isn't really permadeath though. you keep too much between loops.

[marsh haven]

if we make it to the center in exp mode do we get the hc achivement?

[indigo falcon]

wait for it to convert to survival, then you can get that one

[marsh haven]

you cant get the hc "to live forever" from survival - you need to do a core jump in perma mode.

[indigo falcon]

yeah you get the survival achievement, not the perma one.

[native bloom]

I would guess you either get nothing or the survival achievement

[calm flax]

I don't know if it's the same now but, used to when you went through the center in permadeath you got the achievement for survival also.

[junior cloak]

right

[marsh haven]

i think they should drop the existing PD and survival modes and replace them with this game mode.

[junior cloak]

you kidding?

this expedition was easy mode for me

I'm a permadeather

[marsh haven]

no. this is on point. lore wise.

this is literally how the world works.

[junior cloak]

permanent death is how the world works,

[marsh haven]

ok, outside of expedition mode your restart should be randomized.

[junior cloak]

I think expeditions should be harder, like this one

but I wouldn't drop the other ones.

[marsh haven]

iterations is how nms works.

[calm flax]

I like permadeath myself at times. I've been starting permadeath saves and playing for a couple of hours and deleting the save. This was different for me though. Glitches killed me too many times until I disabled multiplayer.

[fleet oracle]

so question; when you complete the optional milestone, do all future loops have the memory fragments upgraded to b class or no?

[indigo falcon]

I think expeditions should accomodate both those who prefer more hardcore play and those who prefer a more chill experience; allowing one to select the mode of playthrough could help with that

[marsh haven]

"we".

[indigo falcon]

all of them do have B class now. the community completed it.

[fleet oracle]

ah, alright

[junior cloak]

Which expedition has been your favourite?

[indigo falcon]

we which now?

[indigo falcon]

4, no doubt. lore was fun, worms were fun, just generally fun

[junior cloak]

worms?

[cobalt shore]

Maybe expeditions on regular survival mode

[indigo falcon]

others have felt grindy or not having much of a narrative, I guess the blighted was better, probably second after 4th (emergence)

[indigo falcon]

google around for 'Expedition 4 - Emergence'

[cobalt shore]

I loved Emergence

[junior cloak]

I'd support the option to select the difficulty.

[junior cloak]

Not need to. I've played all.

[calm flax]

I disliked not being able to use the personal refiner and be able to get prefabs. I did find enough crashed ships to get the economy scanner.

[indigo falcon]

I've not needed the eco scanner once. irritated that on this round I got the personal refiner literally at phase 5 step 2 🙄

or maybe step 1. one of those anyways

[calm flax]

I use the economy scanner to find trading post. They come in handy

[junior cloak]

Not sure, but I think the minotaur can scan those

[calm flax]

It might. I didn't use my minotaur. I did build it and install some of the upgrades. Just didn't use it

Didn't even build the nautilon. Did all the underwater things without it.

[indigo falcon]

what underwater things?

[calm flax]

Scanning the underwater creatures to get the nanites for finding all the creatures on a planet

The last few expeditions I've been getting most of the nanites I have by scanning all the creatures on planets

[indigo falcon]

oic. I just scanned ones on a planet with them all ground or flying

then sold off a few duplicate memory fragment modules, bam

[calm flax]

I just dislike when a planet has a rare underground creature. On the last expediton I spent hours looking for that last rare creature

I know it wasn't time welll spent. I just wasn't going to let it get the best of me

[indigo falcon]

I don't do that. if I don't find that last rare underwater/underground in 10 mins I'm done. might do other things on the planet, won't be looking for fauna though

[calm flax]

It's not time well spent to look for that last one. This expedition I did the same. If I couldn't find it fairly fast I just left also.

[west forum]

I am having a heck of a time with Anchor Point 3. I seem to be right on top of it but when I pull out the scanner it says it's too far.

[indigo falcon]

what coordinates are you at? @west forum

planetary coords if you look through the hud

[calm flax]

The problem for me there's so many comm stations I can't use comm stations to find the anchor points

[alpine topaz]

I'm on a sentinal pillar mission

It says permid the integration to continje

Or stop the exosuit download

[junior cloak]

Is there a way to remove all those nasty icons from the screen? anyone knows?

[west forum]

-11.95 -163.57

[calm flax]

I used the teleporter list to find sentinel pillars and I also put a base at one for others to find

[alpine topaz]

Anyone come across this

[indigo falcon]

-12.51,-164.04 go there

[marsh haven]

i wish.

[alpine topaz]

It's a settlement mission

[native bloom]

There's a mod on PC

[calm flax]

Not that I know of. It's not Subnautica where you can turn off the beacons.

[junior cloak]

I'm going to look for it. I hate them.

[native bloom]

gGUI Clean Multiplayer

[junior cloak]

Thanks!!!

[calm flax]

At times there's so many markers it's hard to find things like the space station.

[marsh haven]

i have 2 sentinel pillar charts. lucky to get somewhat rare drops

[junior cloak]

I wonder if HelloGames have played an expedition after the first weeks... it's full of that crappy things

[calm flax]

I've probably got a couple of sentinel pillar charts also. Didn't use any of the one's I got. I did find a sentinel pillar just flying around.

[marsh haven]

i dont want NMS to turn into ED or something crap like that. But, ffs. there needs to be some simple way to toggle what kind of hud elements are displayed.

Its ridic that we have to spin in place to try and find a planet sometimes.

[indigo falcon]

they could just cut it down: no more than 5 in a200u radius let's say

(visible)

[marsh haven]

We should just be able to pull up a chart and mark it

[calm flax]

I don't like it when I'm going to a comm station and it disappears just as I get to it

[indigo falcon]

I guess that doesn't help when you're looking at an entire planet though

[marsh haven]

to draw on a totally different game.
In forza horizon you can pull up a map and when thats up, access a filter list to toggle map markers on and off. If the Discoveries system view - being a kind of map - just had a sub menu allowing what hud elements to show and hide (players, bases, beacons, etc).

or, perhaps, something off the quick menu

But, FFS. I would like to bookmark a thing ive been to. Especially on Expeditions where its not practical to drop a base computer at an anchor site. Just let me pin that exact location so I can come back there from anywhere..

[unkempt plaza]

||wait so if you've gone past the ending of the expedition (where you submit to the leviathan etc) if you die you dont lose anything?||

if anyone who has completed the expedition already could answer the text marked in a spoiler i would be happy xD

[blazing talon]

Wouldn't it be cool if we had one giant map of a planet which we could fill out

[marsh haven]

look. planet maps are problematic given the size of nms.

Although it could give a purpose to that portable Signal Booster. For as long as its placed on a planet it preserves all the POIs and map data of the areas you visit, and can generate new nav charts / toggle POIs active again when you visit it.

[fringe agate]

Nope, that's scripted

[unkempt plaza]

so youll still lose the progress?

[fringe agate]

Wait, my reading comprehension is bad

[unkempt plaza]

like im talking when you are passed that

and you die again

[fringe agate]

Not sure what happens after you have finished, and then die

[unkempt plaza]

ah kk

[fringe agate]

Test it for us

On pc yeah?

[unkempt plaza]

bcuz ive seen some people say they didnt lose it but im too scared to risk it

[fringe agate]

Back up save, die

[unkempt plaza]

and i am on pc ye

kk

[indigo falcon]

some player testing shows that ||yoyu keep all your progress if you die after the last three encrypted missions are complete||

[fringe agate]

Or that

Cool

Gonna shuffle pins

[unkempt plaza]

wel gues im logging in and helping with the community goals in that case xD

[indigo falcon]

ty, sorry the formatting is so icky, hrm

[fringe agate]

No worries, we have something to work with, it's appreciated

[remote thunder]

just saying: i built my base on the starter planet, and it completed relevant milestone

[indigo falcon]

have fun! 🙂

uh wut. on the predator world? that counted? weird

[remote thunder]

it's an infested biome after all

[indigo falcon]

wait is it?

I don't remember that being the case at all

[remote thunder]

mb.

[indigo falcon]

maybe you built on anchor 1?

[remote thunder]

anchor 1, yes

confused myself, sorry

[indigo falcon]

no worries

[remote thunder]

"1" / "starter"

[indigo falcon]

yeah I tried to keep the "faq" as answers to stuff people get stuck on "whre do I find storm crystals", "I'm building a base where the game says in phase 2 and it won't give me the milestone", etc... there should probably be a guide for strategy but there are some videos out there already

[remote thunder]

it's fine

[fringe agate]

Golden Gek has the best videos

[remote thunder]

thanks for the work

[hollow dirge]

Do the anchor points save progress if I die?

So I return to that anchor point on death

[indigo falcon]

see pinned messages 🙂

[hollow dirge]

Me?

[remote thunder]

yes, <#nms-expedition message>

[hollow dirge]

Right

Thanks

[indigo falcon]

so what's been tested recently is (wow these are spoilers ||doing all of phase 1, then going only to the memory loop locations on each world after that, not even the portals, then do all of phase 5. apparently after this you keep progress after death|| not that I'm going to test out this theory myself right now.

Persistance after death

Bases created by you remain, including freighter base, but no contents in containers, nor any other inventory; if you build bases on each anchor world you can go there from the first space station and save a lot of travel and warp fuel.

The partners in time milestone remains, when you go to Polo the first time after the reset you get this again.

You will automatically get iterate/repeat shortly after spawning in.

Any discoveries you made or animals you scanned stay scanned, so you get secondary minerals automatically, and if you scanned all fauna you can get the nanites again.

Lol

[indigo falcon]

nice. personal commands, I see how it goes

[fringe agate]

Hahaha

Gotta see em in action

[indigo falcon]

oh also

it's "persistence" I misspelled it apparently 😛

[fringe agate]

Wow, unbelievable- didn't even notice

[ashen shore]

Have they sent out the patch yet so I can claim my final reward?

nope

[indigo falcon]

it will show up in #nms-announcements and you can subcribe to that if you want, @ashen shore

[ashen shore]

Oh cool thanks

[remote thunder]

still

was there a specific reason to build on anchor 2?

didn't work for people on anchor 1?

[ashen shore]

I did it on anchor 1

Placed base computer and 20 lamps

[remote thunder]

16 small wood panels, let's go

[indigo falcon]

people who go through the first time get trippped up

[ashen shore]

Damn thats the 3rd time I see the Atlas Emmisary role

[indigo falcon]

the game tells them the wrong planet

[ashen shore]

Yeah I know the tooltip said planet name

[indigo falcon]

so that's the question we get all the time "but I built where it said, why won't the milestone pop"

[ashen shore]

But i was like fuck around and find out

[remote thunder]

my memory must really be affected today

[ashen shore]

I try to complete most of milestone as I go, so maybe that's why I build it sooner

[remote thunder]

because i have no recollection of the base milestone ever telling me a specific planet name

[indigo falcon]

I had already put on anchor 1 so I got it from that,

[remote thunder]

a specifc biome? sure

[indigo falcon]

I tried to do as much stuff early as I could

[remote thunder]

🤷‍♂️ ignore me then

[fringe agate]

No, I refuse

[indigo falcon]

gonna be like an observant sentinel on bk's tail are you?

[fringe agate]

Always

On you all

[indigo falcon]

you don't have the atlas icon for nothing!

[marsh haven]

the anchor planets are pretty awful to put bases.

[indigo falcon]

eh they're ok, not fond of anchor 4 but then who is

[fringe agate]

Haven't been, what is it

[indigo falcon]

oh I would hate to spoil the surprise

[fringe agate]

Okie dokie

[indigo falcon]

I will say that favorite post in the subreddit on the topic is short, sweet and to the point:

||FUCK ANCHOR POINT 4!!!||

[hot drum]

^

[granite vine]

Anchor 4 is a special place

[autumn jetty]

Someone can help me find planet with storm crystals,having trouble on finding^^

[indigo falcon]

see pinned message "mini-faq"

[austere charm]

|| anyone else not able to get the final frigate reward? ||

[indigo falcon]

see pinned messages "mini-faq" you too 😄

[austere charm]

Nice

[autumn jetty]

I don't see any?

[fringe agate]

Poor formatting

Lmao

Just kidding

#nms-expedition message

@autumn jetty ^

[autumn jetty]

Ohzz ty

[inner oasis]

Just dont die 🧠

multiple times*

[unkempt plaza]

ive just been farming salvaged data in the expedition so i could setup a basic base 😂

• i found a curious deposit planet and got a decent amount of runaway mould from them xD

also gleam i can confirm after youve done every milestone and done the 3 final missions you dont lose anything xD

died to pirates like 2 min ago lol

[indigo falcon]

anchor 1 has some iirc, I have a base by a whopping 3 balls... but there are a few people who have put up farms

[unkempt plaza]

the deposit i found had like 15 balls lol

maybe more

like it was a huge deposit

[indigo falcon]

that would be spoilers, one way or another. ||player testing seems to indicate that if you complete phase 5 and die after that, you don't lose progress||

[unkempt plaza]

ah my b lol

[inner surge]

Could anyone lead me to a planet with storm crystals?

[kindred acorn]

you in the 3rd stage with the required task? also needing to hunt around for that...

In this exped'x, where are you folks finding the EnvironDmg shield techs?

[indigo falcon]

see pinned messages 'mini-faq'

[marsh haven]

just keep a lookout for planets with Activeated [Copper|Emeril|Cadmium|Indium]

[unkempt plaza]

here is the thing anchor 2's moon has storm crystals but doesnt show activated copper etc

so idk if its a visual bug for this expedition

like it just says reg copper

[marsh haven]

A prev expeditions have had storm crystals spawning outside the normal weather requrements

[unkempt plaza]

but its a extreme planet

i mean its a extreme weather planet tho bcuz extreme weather happens on it

[indigo falcon]

anchor 1. read the pins!

[marsh haven]

well, then the copper is the anomoly

[indigo falcon]

this is survival, weather can be worse than claimed.

[inner surge]

I had found a couple of planets with storm crystals and figured I could get them later on as it always happens which is the only reason I'm asking for some assistance

[marsh haven]

i play survival all teh time. the weather is perfect. Its normal where the weather is calmer than it should be

[indigo falcon]

but that's why there are multiple game modes, heh

[fringe agate]

Cue!

!modes

[unkempt kraken]

Game Modes

Normal & Creative
• x9999 resource stack size limit
• Inventory is retrievable after death, more forgiving experience, recommended game mode to learn how to play
• Creative: In addition to Normal mode features, Creative has the following differences:
• Immune to damage of any type
• No costs, everything is either already unlocked, or can be unlocked and built for free - except Quicksilver unlockables, if not yet unlocked account wide.
• Note: Missions objectives that require materials for progression will actually need the resource or item in player inventory.

Survival & Permadeath
• x250/500/1000 resource stack size limits (depending which inventory is holding the stack)
• Inventory not retrievable after death. Items or resources stored in exosuit cargo are safe.
• Stronger hazards
• Decreased resource drops
• Permadeath: In addition to Survival mode features, Permadeath will delete the save on death.

Expedition
Time limited, season-like, objective-based content. Unlock phase rewards, which can then also be unlocked in other saves under the same account. Items available in past expeditions might become available again in the future.
• Note: After expedition is over, the game will force the player to convert the Expedition save to a Normal game mode save, in order to be able to continue playing that save.

[fringe agate]

Ooo, last bit needs an update now

[marsh haven]

pfaugh. I was playing a normal game and a "storm" came up and literally nothing happened. It didnt move the temp enough to cause any env damage at all. Its normal mode thats wierd.

[indigo falcon]

weird for you. that's the thing about this game, it can accomodate a bunch of different play styles. and that's a good thing.

[unkempt plaza]

the storms for my normal mode have always went high or low enough that my hazzard protection activated lol

[indigo falcon]

incoming addition to bug fix patch: "Fixed an Experimental only crash that could occur when entering the Space Anomaly after fighting living ships."

[unkempt plaza]

dang

[indigo falcon]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/3395163747100062366/

[unkempt plaza]

tbh im glad that the sentinal dont aggro when you accidently destroy a rock/plant while moving around in your exo crafts lol

like not by mining it but by running into it lol

[indigo falcon]

they used to and it was a huge drag

minotaur is not that agile, heh

[unkempt plaza]

oh didnt know that lol

yup xD

[inner surge]

Best advice, thank you

❤️

[unkempt plaza]

i can only use my minotaur to shoot stuff or with the bore bcuz i dont even got the mining laser unlocked yet :kek:

[indigo falcon]

you can collect stuff with it (storm crystals) though, no?

[unkempt plaza]

ye ik i meant mining stuff wise

like carbon ferrite etc xD

i am using it atm to collect salvaged data tho :kek:

[indigo falcon]

orilly!

[unkempt plaza]

?

[indigo falcon]

I guess I would tend to use the pilgrim or nomad

both zippy

[unkempt plaza]

ye fair its just i like the feeling of the minotaur ig lol

like im picking the salvaged data up while in the minotaur

[indigo falcon]

hey if that's more fun, go for it!

[unkempt plaza]

so my hazard prot doesnt go down

[indigo falcon]

somewhere near the route there is alush world with balmy weather and non-aggro sentinels

[unkempt plaza]

dang

[indigo falcon]

I saw many player bases in the teleporter list there, might want to check the conflict level I guess

[willow geyser]

thats 1500 nanites

noice

[unkempt plaza]

had to dig down into the ground bcuz pirate vector attack dangit

[indigo falcon]

yeah that would be nice to avoid, no? conflict t1 worlds ftw

[ashen turret]

extreme storms can produce storm crystals IF you have lightning strikes - the electrical disturbance event - regardless of whether they spawn normally

[kindred acorn]

In this exped'x, where are you folks finding the EnvironDmg shield techs? like to protect against heat damage completely, with Ion batteries

[indigo falcon]

memory fragments

prng

[unkempt plaza]

i got mine from the memory fragments ye

and rng

[kindred acorn]

the infinity symbol ones? or just Exosuit type?

[unkempt plaza]

lmao the pirates shot once and then disapeared XD

i see that has a W for me bcuz now i can continue farming

[ashen turret]

they're randomly generated when memories are used

[unkempt plaza]

p sure for that 1 its the exosuit ones tho

like the hazard mod's for the exosuit

(dont take my word for it tho bcuz im not sure sure)

[ashen turret]

well what you get from the infinity label are random type ...

which you then loot to get the mod

[marsh haven]

buying stuff is pretty expensive in this exp

[unkempt plaza]

oh ik lol

also @indigo falcon im kinda annoyed wanna know why?

[granite vine]

can't get a crashed freighter to show up for anything now with the map

[unkempt plaza]

i found a A class freighter earlier (from saving) but was 100milion short 😂

like in the expedition lol

[ashen turret]

the only things I unlocked at anomaly were hazmat gauntlet and personal refiner

[indigo falcon]

😄 but one will come again if you want it, A class is not hard to find

[willow geyser]

freighters are just flying luggage in this expedition

[unkempt plaza]

ik but the fact it was a max size dreadnought sentinal freighter (which is my fav type lol)

i was lowkey annoyed

[marsh haven]

dont understand sentinel freighters. you always are at risk of crashing when you launch

[indigo falcon]

not even flying, no tech whatsoever 😄

[unkempt plaza]

ive never had that problem tbh

then again only my first ever freighter wasnt a sentinal one lol

so ig im just used to avoiding the middle thing

[cobalt shore]

Is the new patch out? Can I finally claim my space whale? I saw Guntie sending something about a patch in this server.

[marsh haven]

any freighter but sentinel is my sentiment

[unkempt plaza]

not yet

i think atleast

[indigo falcon]

another addition to the experimental bug fix patch

#nms-expedition message

no whales for you!

[ashen turret]

my starter freighter was the other capital model this time around, but I bought another one later - not quite sure why lol

[unkempt plaza]

lel

[ashen turret]

had more space on it, but I never ended up using it anyway

[indigo falcon]

or, for those who were in the hype channel during its few glorious days of existence: "you don't get a wahle, and you don't get a whale, and nobody gets a whale!"

[unkempt plaza]

honestly one of the first things that im gonna unlock in the anomaly for nanites is the solar charging thing for the minotaur lol

[ashen turret]

I didn't need to, got acouple of 'em at random

[unkempt plaza]

ye i got the cannon + bore

and a upgrade for the cannon

engine upgrade and self greasing servos xD

like from all my exocraft stuff that was minotaur related

[ashen turret]

didn't get any lasers or weapons for it though - but really didn't need 'em

[unkempt plaza]

fair xD

i just used the minotaur cannon to kill the sentinals lol

like with the upgrade i was 2-4 tapping them

and the upgrade also gave firing rate increase

[ashen turret]

the neutron cannon works well enough for the sentinels

[indigo falcon]

I did not use any minotaur accessories (yet)

[runic flower]

will there be a post when the reward bug is fixed

[unkempt plaza]

i never got that 1 so i kinda had too lol

for some reason the game did think it was funny to give me 3 base gun scatter blaster modules tho 💀

[ashen turret]

I was glad I ended up with it after ||the required death|| - it's one of my favorite weapons

[unkempt plaza]

fair same tbh

but like what on earth where the odd's for the game to give me 3 base scatter blasters in the same opening session of only 3 memories lol

like i got hella unlucky lol

[ashen turret]

have to admit that's a bit weird, even for NMS

[unkempt plaza]

ikr

i mean ig i did sell 2 of them for nanites but still

i'd rather wouldve had smth like the neutron cannon

[alpine topaz]

Anyone own a settlement?

There's a mission thread where u upgrade ur minatuar

[unkempt plaza]

?

[marsh haven]

game is trying to give me a settlement, but each time i log in its on the worst planet so i havnt tried to claim it yet

[ashen turret]

I didn't bother with settlements on the expedition at all

[unkempt plaza]

same

[alpine topaz]

Yeah Def find a good planet

Mine one is too hot.. Lol but no crazy storms

However every 5 minutes Pirates attack.. It's ridiculous

[unkempt plaza]

im just happy that my settlement in my normal save was on my main base planet with no sentinals and no storms xD

[alpine topaz]

But once u get the settlement.. The sentinal minatuar mission is pretty good

[unkempt plaza]

and it was a tropical planet lol

[alpine topaz]

Ahh sounds awesome

[unkempt plaza]

its a S class settlement now lol

[alpine topaz]

Yeah I've just stumbled on this settlement part after the expidition

[alpine topaz]

Mines C lmao. How does it get higher rank

[unkempt plaza]

p sure it has todo with the like statistics

[marsh haven]

my main (survival) save settlement is on a blissful planet. can stand outside and go afk without worries

[unkempt plaza]

bcuz mine was a S class all of a sudden when i had all green buffs etc

(idk for sure tho it was C at first and it all of a sudden was a S class)

[ashen turret]

you can't really read anything in to the class ratings

[marsh haven]

a combination of population x productivity iirc.

[unkempt plaza]

ah

[ashen turret]

hell, they change at random for no reason, too

[marsh haven]

mine is like 90% happy and 90% productive, but only has 38 inhabitants so its stuck at A class.

[ashen turret]

with no settlement changes at all, it could be C one visit, A another, S another time, A afterward ...

with no events in between

[unkempt plaza]

huh mine has always been a S ever since it became it odd

[marsh haven]

i would like some events to increase my settlement size. all my damn inhabs want to do is send expeditions that invariably end in disaster, so i dont

[tough sluice]

Alright, larval cores done. I think it'll be okay from here on out. As long as I can get the sentinel ones done, I think I've got this.

[cerulean hemlock]

Well that is just frustrating. Exploring planet on foot for resources during the expedition, ship flying around suddenly starts blasting me and just die before I can react.

[ashen turret]

the important question is - is the main product it gives you actually useful?

[marsh haven]

pvp should be off by default. or was this a npc pirate?

[cerulean hemlock]

npc

I always make sure PVP is disabled

[granite vine]

<@&233305774745583618>

[ashen turret]

the sentinels can be done easily enough, IF you don't try to fight up through highest alert level

[tough sluice]

How else do you recommend getting them disabled? Just finding maps?

[ashen turret]

you get a map from the milestone for killing the sentinels

[tough sluice]

Oh I didn't even notice that. Poifect!

[marsh haven]

o is that why i have a map

[dusty pecan]

allso plenty of player bases around sentinel pillars you can get to trough teleporter

[marsh haven]

to get some seed capital i started my game with a little ... creative reassignment of freighter inventory pods.
Murdering the sentinels that spawned gave me some glass upgrades which was a quicker boost and a map.

[remote thunder]

just a general reminder, craft some fragments once you can, save before inspecting, hope to grab some shield/weapon mods, will make life a bit easier, reload if you don't get them if you want

also, shutting down sentinels via nest will "kill" any spawned sentinels near by, and that counts for kills as well

(could aggro a bunch, have them follow to a near by nest, then hit that shutdown button, bam, easy kills)

[dusty pecan]

the sentinel allso respawn if you load a save near pillar

[marsh haven]

also, outside of the exp,. dont loot sentineldrops with a mining laser if you can help it. you don't get everything

[dusty pecan]

so can do shutdown->save->load->repeat

[remote thunder]

unlikely

unless reloading clears shutdown status

[meager stream]

there are probably some pillars marked by other players with beacons/commballs/bases, so if u find one, u can kill sentinels by turning them off with a pillar

[remote thunder]

which is kinda weird, and sounds like its broken

[meager stream]

u can

[dusty pecan]

reloading does indeed clear shutdown status

[meager stream]

has always been

[indigo falcon]

regular metal ship? no warning of hostile vector or anything?

[meager stream]

also u can just takeoff

[marsh haven]

actually. can confirm.

[meager stream]

go to space and comeback

[remote thunder]

no

[meager stream]

the shutdown status remains, but the guards respawn when u comeback, and they die with u enter the planet again

[marsh haven]

had my game crash after doing a shutdown once too often. sentinel were always up on the reload

[meager stream]

saw that on stream

[remote thunder]

doesn't matter, it's still disabled
